[ laughs ] i do n't know . maybe because she took my son 's love and devotion and she made a mockery of it . you think ? chloe : no , i have not done that , all right ? i have been good to lucas , loving to him and his daughter , okay ? i 've been a very faithful wife since the day we were married . kate : just not the day before or the day before that . daniel : okay , stop . kate : or the day before that . hey , lucas , come out here , will you ? ! chloe : kate , please . kate : what ? i think it 's time your husband knows the truth , do n't you ? chloe : the truth is that i love him from the bottom of my heart , and if i were going to be unfaithful , why would i do it here in this hideous mansion with people all around ? kate : you know , i do n't know . i think probably because you 're out of control . you 're incredibly self - absorbed . you think ? lucas ! i do n't think he heard me . daniel : kate , you really need to think this through . kate : what 's there to think about ? you promised me that the two of you would stay away from each other . chloe : we have . kate : you broke the promise , unless of course you think that platonic little grope does n't count . daniel : you just need to calm down and listen to what she -- kate : oh , no . i am calm . i mean , i am so calm i am borderline serene because , you see , i knew about the two of you for a long time , so i 'm kind of used to it . but lucas -- oh , lucas is another story . lucas , come out here , will you ? ! lucas ! bo : victor told me that philip left town . hope : and now it appears that brady has dropped off the face of the earth as well . bo : been trying to reach him . do you have any idea where he is ? lucas : no , i have n't seen him . not since victor kicked him out of the house last night . bo : they had a fight ? lucas : yeah , they did . nothing unusual there . are you worried about brady , too ? hope : why would n't we be ? until this feud ends , we 're all in danger . lucas : guess that 's true . bo : so we were hoping you 'd help us out , you know , let us have a look around . lucas : yeah , go ahead . anything for philip . bo : thanks , man . hope : thank you , lucas . henderson : commissioner brady , detective brady , i assume you have a search warrant . owen : you know , i really wish you had n't canceled your vacation , not on my account . dad ! are you in some sort of trouble , son ? owen : no , dad , i told you . i only have to hide out here a little bit longer , so please go . just take a break . go relax . i ca n't . owen : why ? the body . the one that just came in from university hospital . i 've got to take care of it . philip : hey , it wo n't be much longer now , steph . you hear me ? steph ? steph . steph , you there ? philip : stephanie johnson ... will you do me the honor of being my wife ? stephanie : yes . yes . philip : give me your hand . stephanie : i hear you . philip : i ca n't hear owen . he must be gone . stephanie : i think so . philip : i 'm going to text brady and melanie and let them know to get us the hell out of here , okay ? melanie : i 've screwed up everything . brady : melanie , stop it . melanie : no , you know it 's true , if i had n't been so greedy and so selfish . brady : all right , then let 's get the heck out of here somehow , okay ? and you can start to atone for everything you 've ever done . melanie : that 's the thing . i 'm not gon na get the chance to do that . brady : look at me . look at me . stop . we are gon na find a way out of here , and you 're gon na get a chance to do everything . melanie : that 's very sweet . it 's also a lie because you and i both know that if we die today , i 'm going to hell . chloe : kate , please do n't say anything to lucas . you ca n't . kate : all this begging and crying -- it 's so unbecoming . daniel : kate , you 're upset about philip . you 're not really thinking clearly . kate : oh , no . on the contrary , i think i 'm thinking very clearly -- more clearly than i have in the past few weeks . daniel : you kept this to yourself all this time to protect lucas . you want to tell him now , out of anger , when nothing , nothing happened . kate : your definition of `` nothing `` is considerably different than mine . bo : this is my father 's house , henderson . my wife and i are here visiting family . henderson : i have strict orders from mr. kiriakis , commissioner , not to allow you entry . bo : in that case , um ... we 'll go . but we 're taking you with us . henderson : i beg your pardon . bo : we need to bring you in for questioning . it wo n't take that long . hope : and victor never needs to know . henderson : i 'm sorry , officer brady . hope : it 's for philip , henderson . we know you care about him . bo : and the thing is ... we do n't need a warrant to bring you in for questioning . it 's our prerogative in a case like this . henderson : very well , then . bo : catch you later , lucas . lucas : see ya . [ door closes ] kate : lucas ! i have something i have to tell you . lucas : what ? what do you have to tell me ? why are you looking at me like that ? brady : [ sighs ] melanie , will you stop ? you are not going to hell . melanie : how do you know ? brady : because you are not dying today or anytime soon . and you 're gon na have plenty of time to make up for whatever you 've done in the past . melanie : i need a tissue . and now i 'm freezing . what , is it like 30 degrees in here ? brady : here . take this . it 's all right . it 's not a coat , but it 'll work . melanie : that 's very sweet of you .

[ door closes ] bo : hey ya , henderson . you want some cheerios ? we have a fresh box here . henderson : i 'm not hungry at the moment . thanks all the same . hope : please have a seat . make yourself comfortable . bo : please , relax . we know victor probably told you not to talk to us about philip , and that 's just fine . hope : and we understand your loyalty to victor . bo : so we 'll ask you a simple question . when was the last time you saw brady black ? brady : it 's all right . just some flowers , melanie . melanie : i thought it was a rat . sorry . just tell me it -- tell me it 's too spooky for rats . tell me there are no rats . brady : there are no rats . melanie : just lots of dead bodies . brady : wait a minute . wait a minute . melanie : what ? brady : maybe ... melanie : `` maybe `` what ? brady : you know what ? melanie : there 's no reception in here , brady . we already -- brady : yeah , yeah , but there may be a way to let the outside world know that we are here . are you , um -- are you wearing a ... melanie : a bra ? yes . brady : i need more wire . melanie : [ laughs ] all right , turn around . stephanie : what 's taking them so long ? philip : maybe they did n't get my text yet . shh ! did you hear that ? stephanie : what ? philip : somebody 's coming . maybe it 's mel and brady . [ laughs ] the only problem was paperwork was iffy off the top . i mean , at first i could n't tell if the deceased was supposed to be cremated or embalmed , but i think i finally figured out that little riddle . come on , son . give the old man a hand . stephanie : [ gasps ] owen , why am i hearing noises ? is someone else here ? chloe : nobody 's keeping anything from you , lucas . we 're all just really edgy right now . lucas : edgy . right . daniel : you look pale , kate . let 's get you some air . kate : no , i 'm fine , really . daniel : well , you know what ? it 's doctor 's orders . kate : all righty , then . daniel : we 'll be back soon .. kate : i 'm not going anywhere with you . daniel : i saved your life . i saved philip 's life . you said you owe me . kate : [ chuckles ] really ? you 're gon na play that card ? daniel : yeah , i 'm gon na play that card . come on , you at least owe me the courtesy of hearing me out . chloe : you need to stop being so paranoid . lucas : you know what ? i 'm gon na lose it if one more person tells me to stop being paranoid . chloe : come on , let 's just go get something to eat . lucas : you know what ? you 're doing it again . chloe : doing what ? lucas : you 're changing the subject , just like you did at java when i saw you and maggie there and i told you guys i was starting to remember what happened the night i was drinking . chloe : i - i do n't remember trying to change the subject . lucas : well , whatever . you were acting nervous and weird . that i know , and you know what ? i thought you 'd be happy that i started to get my memory back of what happened that night , but , no , you 're not . it 's almost like you do n't want me to remember . you and maggie are acting the same way . chloe : that 's not true . lucas : yes , it is true . she 's keeping something from me , chloe , and so are you . bo : so , before victor disowned brady , he came by the mansion looking for philip . henderson : that 's right , but he did n't find him . and if i may , commissioner ... bo : yeah , go ahead . henderson : i do n't think you need to worry about brady . hope : why is that ? henderson : on my way to work this morning , i saw mr. black . he was walking toward the river by the cemetery . hope : was he with anyone ? henderson : actually , yes . melanie layton . melanie : you ruined my bra . brady : [ chuckles ] melanie : so , what is that ? brady : it 's going to be a signal booster . melanie : yeah . no , i knew that . brady : all right . come on , come on . wait a minute . wait a minute . melanie : did it work ? is it working ? did -- brady : oh , my -- oh , my god . i got a signal . i got a signal . melanie : yay ! whoo ! owen : what do you mean is someone here ? of course there 's no one here , dad . you know what it is ? someone probably just came in the funeral parlor . i 'm gon na take a look . owen : it was you , was n't it ? look , i told you to just be quiet . i promise you i 'm not gon na keep you in there that much longer . just ... be quiet , okay ? i 'll get you out soon . stephanie : philip , what are we gon na do ? they 're gon na try to embalm you . philip : if i can just figure out a way out of this drawer . i 'm sure i can take owen in a fight . stephanie : no , owen has a gun . philip : shh ! he 's coming back . owen : all right , stephanie [ sighs ] time to go . chloe : okay , i know what this is . lucas : what is it ? chloe : this is about when you had that dream about me . it must still be bothering you . come on , honey , it was just a dream . i love you with all my heart . you have to believe that . i mean , you do , do n't you ? lucas : i 'd like to , yeah . chloe : come on . i mean , i know that you 're insecure , but you have no reason to be . lucas : why , because i have such a great past with the women i choose ? chloe : stop it . your history with women , that had nothing to do with you . lucas : well , i picked them , did n't i ? chloe : yeah , but this time , it 's gon na be different , all right ? because i 'm not gon na do what they did because i am happy with you -- more than you can imagine . i love you , and we are perfect and relaxed and easy . lucas : and boring and predictable . chloe : no , we 're not . lucas : well , if everything was so perfect , why did you break off the engagement ? i mean , if there 's something i should know , if there 's something that i should hear , do n't you think you should tell me ? i mean , do n't you think you should be the one to tell me right now ? daniel : you promised to let this go . kate : i 'm reconsidering . daniel : well , lucas is a grown - up . he does n't need you interfering . kate : i do n't need you telling me what i should and should n't do with my children . daniel : you know what , kate ? you know what i think ? kate : i do n't care what you think . i do n't care what you think . all i know is that you and that woman betrayed my son , and do you really think i 'm just gon na sit by and let that happen ? daniel : kate , kate , kate , this anger , this rage that consumes you , it 's about more than your concern for lucas , 'cause this -- this is about you . kate : oh , really ? daniel : really . kate : now , how do you see that ? daniel : well , what i see is that you 're jealous of your son 's wife , and this jealousy is just eating you alive . bo : so , the last person you saw brady with was melanie . hope : she 's the same girl who betrayed philip with the dimeras . henderson : but miss layton and philip had mended fences . they 're friends again , it would seem . bo : i see . hope : you 're free to go . thank you for your help , henderson . henderson : take care , commissioner , detective . please bring philip home safely . bo : we 'll do our best . hope : at least we know where brady was last seen . bo : yeah , that 's a start . hope : let 's go . you 're driving , right ? bo : yep . melanie : you did it ! [ both laugh ] brady : not bad , huh ? oh , god , no . melanie : what ? brady : no , do n't even do this to me . no , do n't . it 's dead . battery 's died . um , damn it . get your -- get your phone . do you have your phone ? melanie : yeah . um ... brady : what ? what is it ? oh , it 's dead . melanie : oh , my god . brady : it 's all right . it 's okay . uh , we 'll just have to go to plan `` b. `` melanie : i 'm a bad - luck magnet . brady : no , plan `` b. `` plan `` b. `` melanie : what 's plan `` b , `` brady ? brady : i do n't know what plan `` b `` is , melanie , damn it . you know what ? maybe the police could trace the signal . i mean , we got through for a second , right ? [ sighs ] so , you know , there 's a chance . melanie : why are you bothering with those ? i mean , do n't get me wrong . they 're beautiful , but i do n't think isabella needs them anymore , whoever she is . brady : she 's my mother . owen : time to go . stephanie : but i thought you said we had to stay put . you said you were worried that melanie was looking for us . owen : your friends are n't a problem for us anymore . stephanie : um ... owen , you think we can stop somewhere and get something to eat ? i - i 'm starting to feel pretty weak . owen : we 'll get some food on the way out of town . stephanie : uh , wait . you do n't want to tell your -- your dad bye first ? owen : oh , you do n't want to go , do you ? stephanie : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . owen : well , whatever it is , forget it , stephanie . it 's now or never . you know , i 've done some things in the last couple of days i never thought i could -- to take care of you , to protect you -- but if the answer 's gon na be never , then maybe i need to come up with something to do you more permanent to take care of you . you understand ? kate : yeah , you know , you 're right . i was attracted to you . i was . you definitely satisfied a need . but the more i got to know you , the more i found you ... i do n't know , what 's the word for it ? ah ! disgusting . disgusting . and i have to tell you , of all the men i 've been with , you are definitely the most repulsive . and , daniel , that is really saying a lot . so ... jealous ? i do n't think so . daniel : then i 'm wrong . kate : yes , but you so often are , are n't you ? daniel : yeah . kate : hey , daniel . i know the cancer may come back , and despite the fact that you 're advising me not to interfere in my children 's life , you see , i want to ensure their happiness after i 'm gone . now , is there any way that you can possibly understand something like that ? daniel : no . you want your sons to be fine without you -- you let them live their lives now . let them learn that . chloe : all i 'm saying is that you ca n't trust the memories that you have from that night . you said it yourself . you blacked out . lucas : yeah , i did , and you 're not answering my question . chloe : because there is no answer . i 'm not hiding anything . what ? lucas : you know what ? if you ca n't be honest with me , then ... chloe : what ? go ahead . finish the sentence . lucas : ... maybe we should n't be married right now . chloe : my god , lucas . why are you saying this ? lucas : because , chloe , i do n't want your pity . chloe : my pity ? lucas : yeah , your pity . if you feel that way , maybe you should leave . just leave now . chloe : i do n't understand why you 're being like this . lucas : because i know . i know you . i know how you are . you 're afraid of hurting me , right ? you 're afraid i 'm gon na start drinking again and try to kill myself . is that it ? chloe : lucas , stop it , please . lucas : just answer me . tell me . i mean , if you have something to tell me , tell me now . go ahead , chloe . tell me . i can take it . chloe : okay . i will . melanie : i did n't know you lost your mother . brady : happened a long time ago . i was a baby . i -- i never knew her . my dad used to -- he used to bring me here . we used to put flowers on her grave . we 'd talk to her . he 'd tell me stories about ... how i was born on their wedding day . and he would talk about their last trip to italy together . that was , uh -- that was where she died . melanie : so you do n't visit her anymore ? brady : no , i -- no , i have n't been here in a long time , actually . it 's kind of ironic . that it took this to get me back here . melanie : do n't -- do n't do that to yourself . just because you have n't visited her does n't mean she 's not still in your heart , does n't mean you do n't still think about her . brady : i always felt that she was looking after me and watching over me , protecting me . melanie : i wish i knew what that felt like . um , look , i know i have n't been the most optimistic person here , but , um ... maybe your mom will find a way to watch over us now and help us . brady : yeah , maybe she will . stephanie : owen , i do want to go away with you , i swear . owen : why do n't i believe you anymore , hmm ? stephanie : owen , please . owen : come on , steph . i thought we were gon na go away together . i thought we had a plan . i thought we were gon na leave now together . philip : [ grunting ] [ banging ] stephanie : you 're right , you sick bastard , i 'm not going anywhere with you . kate : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i really do n't know . maybe ... maybe i do need to find another way to look after my children ... to ensure their happiness after i 'm gone . daniel : so you 're going to leave this alone . kate : well , i promised i would . i will . daniel : it 's the right decision . good night . kate : daniel , daniel , daniel . [ chuckles ] you promised me that the two of you would stay away from each other , and you broke your promise . well , now i 'm going to have to break mine . chloe : okay , um ... what maggie was gon na tell you what she knew was ... that i was planning on leaving town without saying goodbye to you or allie . lucas : you were what ? you were gon na leave town ? i do n't understand . why the hell would you do that ? chloe : because i 'm screwed up , okay ? you want to talk about bad history with the opposite sex ? i 'm the worst , all right ? and you deserve better than me . lucas : do n't say that . do n't be like that . chloe : it 's true . that 's the reason that i broke up with you . i told you that , and i meant it . lucas : wait a minute . i love you . i want to be with you . you 're the only person i want to be with . you make me so happy . you -- i have never been happier with anybody . you 're the only person i want . i thought you knew that . bo : okay , that 's good . send two units over and do a sweep . right , keep me posted . the warrant came through to search the dimera mansion . hope : wait a second . what 's this ? melanie 's hospital badge . not something you lose on purpose . bo : nope . hope : maybe there was a struggle and melanie was hoping that someone would find this . bo : meaning she could be around here someplace . hope : yeah , hopefully brady as well . bo : yeah . melanie : ah ! i did n't know i had this in here . you can have half . brady : no . no thanks . you have it . melanie : always the gentleman . brady : not always . melanie : hey . i know she died young , but it sounds to me like she had a wonderful life . she found true love , and she left behind a son i know she 'd be proud of . brady : i do n't know about that . melanie : i do . if i could die in isabella 's shoes , i would be a pretty happy woman . brady : you 're gon na have your chance , melanie -- at love , at everything . i can promise you that . stephanie : no . owen : do n't do that . do not move . what the hell ? do n't move ! philip : hey ! owen : do not move ! mia : i may have to go away . will : how long will you be gone ? mia : maybe for good . stephanie : philip , do n't kill him ! nicole : you just ca n't walk away , especially when it involves sami . sami : i finally have everything i ever wanted . i 'm so happy . | melanie and brady work on getting a signal on one of their phones , but brady 's ingenious device made of melanie 's bra 's under - wire fails when both their phones die . they later have a heart - to - heart about isabella , brady 's mother . phillip tries to send melanie and brady a text message to come rescue him and stephanie . owen and his father prepare to embalm phillip , but stephanie 's gasps send owen 's father scurrying upstairs to see if a new client has come in . owen gets stephanie out of the drawer , saying it 's time to leave . she manages to distract him long enough to crack open phillip 's drawer . later she snatches owen 's gun . he gets it back just as phillip flies out of the drawer . owen holds his gun on the both of them . hope and bo learn from henderson that brady was last seen near the cemetery with melanie . they head over there and find melanie 's hospital badge on the ground . kate confronts daniel and chloe , and threatens to tell lucas of their affair . daniel pulls her aside after she nearly tells , and reminds her that the way to make sure her kids are happy is to let them live their own lives -- without her interference . kate pretends to agree , but secretly decides to tell lucas everything . when lucas demands answers from chloe , she tells him that the night he got drunk , maggie was trying to tell him that chloe was planning to leave town without saying goodbye . she adds that she loves lucas , but does n't think she deserves him . lucas buys her story , and tries to assure her of his love . |

[ cell phone ringing ] sonny : will ... are you all right ? will : yeah . sonny : i 've been trying to reach you . when you did n't call back , i got worried . will : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i had my phone off during my -- my meeting with zoe . sonny : you had a meeting with zoe ? today was our first therapy session , and you schedule a meeting ? will : i - i did not forget about the session . i 'm just running a little bit late . i 'll meet you guys there , okay ? sonny : it 's too late . they already canceled the session because you did n't show up . will : sonny , i 'm sorry . sonny : just come home . anne : what exactly did you say to melanie ? theresa : well , she and i had a very honest conversation , and i admitted that i still had feelings for brady . anne : which i 'm sure came as a complete surprise to her . theresa : well , i just said , quite candidly , that it hurt me too much to see the two of them together and that i was thinking about moving back to california because of it and taking tate with me . anne : oh , so that 's why brady was so mad at you last night . theresa : hey , listen , i made it very clear to melanie that i could stay here and , you know , brady could see his baby whenever he wanted . anne : yeah , just as long as melanie took a permanent hike , right ? theresa : well , something like that . melanie : i 'm gon na leave salem today . brady : you 're not -- you 're not gon na do that . melanie : i already have . i bought my ticket . i 'm gon na go to europe , and i 'm gon na be with my mom until i can figure out what to do next . so i - i leave in a few hours . brady : how long are you gon na be gone ? melanie : right now i 'm the only thing standing in between you and your son . brady : that 's only because of theresa . that 's the -- melanie : it does n't matter . it 's the reality of the situation . i ca n't come back until ... until that 's not the case . [ chuckles ] brady : that could be for good . melanie : right . brady : no . no , no , no . melanie : i 'm sorry . brady : i 'm not letting you do this . melanie : brady , it 's not your call to make . brady : you 're not doing this . i love you too much to let you go . i 'm not letting you do this . you 're not going . melanie : i know . i love you so much . and that 's why i have to go . brady : do n't let -- do n't let theresa threaten you . melanie : [ chuckles ] brady : do n't let her do that . melanie : i could n't stop her if i tried . think about it , though . even if she did n't threaten me , do n't you think it would be better if i just stepped back from the whole situation ? brady : no . melanie : yes , brady . brady : no . melanie : yes . brady : no . melanie : brady , your -- your only responsibility should be your son . brady : no . i have room enough in my life for both of you . i absolutely do . i would n't have proposed to you if i did n't think -- if i did n't believe that . melanie : brady , we both know that -- that if i stay here , theresa 's gon na make life miserable , not just for me and you , but for your son too . i 'm sorry . i 'm not gon na sit around and be even a small part of a reason that a child suffers . i 'm just not . sonny : hey , glad you could make it . will : i 'm sorry . sonny : as always . will : i do n't understand why we could n't have just met at the therapist 's office . i really would not have been all that late . sonny : because we were supposed to be there early to fill out paperwork . anyway , they rescheduled . so we have an appointment the day after tomorrow . can you make it ? will : of course . no problem . sonny : great . will : is ari still with the sitter ? sonny : yeah , but i 'm gon na call her and tell her to bring her home . will : do n't . i mean , since we already have this time to ourselves ... i - i think that there 's something that we can try before we go to counseling . jj : paige , wait . i just -- i just want to explain . paige : explain what ? okay , i already know what happened . you slept with my mother several times . trust me , i do n't need the details . jj : okay , look , you asked me a question last night that i could n't answer , not at the time . you asked me how i could do what i did to you ... how i could lie to you over and over again . well , i thought about that , paige ... all night . and i think i have an answer . do you want to hear it ? jennifer : eve , i am so sorry about what happened to paige . but do you not see how pathetic it is that you are trying to blame me for what you did ? eve : oh , jennifer , i know what i did , and i have to live with that , all right ? but you have to live with the fact that paige would n't have found out any of this if you had n't have blackmailed me into letting that horrible , horrible son of yours keep after paige . jennifer : no , what i did was keep you from getting away with the terrible thing that you did to ruin jj 's life , to try to ruin his life . eve : oh , ruin his life ? what life are you talking about , jennifer ? your son is a screw - up of the first order . when our kids first met , my daughter was headed to stanford . your son was headed to jail . jennifer : he was not . eve : because you refused to see who he really was . i had to protect my daughter from him , but because of you , she fell in love with him all over again , and that makes all of this ten times worse . jennifer : yes , and you know what ? i took responsibility for that . i know that i was wrong . i admitted that . eve : wrong ? jennifer : yes . eve : no , jennifer , that was evil . jennifer : [ scoffs ] all right , sign right there , and you will be free to go . theresa : okay . yeah , i 'd like to see my baby , though , before i leave . well , dr. williams is doing a follow - up evaluation , and it 'll be a while . theresa : oh . okay . well , i guess i 'll just go home , and i 'll take a shower , and then i 'll come back . great . i 'll just alert the media . theresa : [ chuckles mockingly ] anne : i think you made a mistake . theresa : no , those shower curtains get really gross . the amenities here suck , anne . anne : about melanie , theresa , not the shower curtain . giving her an ultimatum like that -- there is a very serious flaw in your plan . theresa : what ? anne : you 're counting on melanie putting the kid 's needs above her own , but if you wo n't do that , why should she ? brady : i feel like you 're letting theresa win . you need to stay here in town with me , and we need to fight back . that 's what we 're gon na do . we 're gon na fight her . melanie : brady , no . the last thing your son needs to do is be in the middle of a fight . and this is theresa , so that 's putting it mildly . it would be a war . [ chuckles ] brady : i do n't care . melanie : you do n't want that as a father . and i know that the most important thing in the world to you right now is being a father . brady : it 's not the only thing . melanie : i know you love me . it has nothing to do with that . your son needs you . and theresa is dangerous , brady . she 's dangerous . if i stay here , she 's gon na take your son , and she 's gon na move to california and have complete control over his life . [ crying ] and if she stays here , she 's gon na dedicate the rest of her life to punishing you for being with me . either way , she 's gon na use your son as a weapon . and the only way to keep her from doing that is for me to leave . make fit happen ! marlena : oh , paul . how good to see you . paul : marlena . marlena : uh , what are you doing here ? are you okay ? paul : oh , i 'm fine . yeah , i just , uh , had some extra time . i figured i 'd donate some more blood . marlena : i like it when people with a rare blood type are so conscientious about donating . paul : it 's not a big deal . marlena : but it is . sonny would not have survived the surgery if you had n't donated blood . so , in fact , you saved his life . paul : now you want me to stay out of it . sonny : so you 're backing out ? will : no , i did n't say that . sonny : we agreed that couples therapy is the best way to go . if you did n't want to do it , you should have said so . will : i 'm fine with doing it . but it 's already been postponed , and i found these exercises online , and i think we can do them . sonny : so you want to save our marriage by going online ? will : by doing the exercises . look , if they do n't work out , we can still go to the therapy . sonny : `` eat meals together . `` `` do n't go to bed angry . `` this is some cutting- edge stuff . will : you know what ? forget it . i never should have even mentioned it . sonny : i 'm sorry , okay ? what one were you talking about ? will : the last one . sonny : `` honesty hour . `` honestly ? paige : okay . i 'm game . what 's your answer ? jj : [ sighs ] you know how screwed up i was when i came back from england . a - and when i met you , i - i was already trying to change , turn my life around . paige : that 's what you said . jj : i meant it ... finally . a - and then i met you ... and i fell in love with you . paige : again , that 's what you said . jj : it was the truth . a - and i thought you were in love with me . paige : yeah . i thought so too . jj : paige , what happened was i - i thought that i had already put my mistakes behind me . and it was easy to feel like i had changed , 'cause you made me feel like i had . you got me like no one else ever had . paige : why are you telling me this ? it has nothing to do with what you did . jj : no , but it does . it has everything to do with it , 'cause what i am trying to tell you is that i did n't know how good i had it . it was perfect . but then your mom came into town . jennifer : i 'm evil ? you on every single level are a bad person . and if you try to hurt my son again , you 're gon na have to face me . do you understand that ? eve : do you think that i fooled paige ? this boy right here is playing you like a poker hand . and you do n't have a clue who he is . jennifer : mm . eve : he is selfish and destructive , and he 's a little liar . and guess what . i hope he burns in hell . [ glass shatters ] anne : of course we want brady to be with his kid , okay ? like , i - i 'm with you . but i highly doubt that melanie , who is apparently besotted with this guy , and he with her , is going to be willing to go gently into the night for the sake of your son . theresa : yeah . she is kind of selfish and self - absorbed . but you know what ? if she does n't do the right thing , then i guess i have no choice . tate and i will just have to move to la . melanie : i was talking to maxine ... about how i grew up and what it did to me . the most important thing in the world is that tate grows up happy and strong . i - i think -- i think the reason we worked so well this time was because ... we love each other and we want each other , but we do n't need each other . i 'm gon na be okay . but your son needs you , and that -- that makes this a no - brainer . brady : [ sighs ] no . melanie : please do n't be mad at me . you 're about to walk into something so amazing . and i 'm gon na be a part of it , i promise , even if i 'm 3,000 miles away . brady : a part of it ? a part of it ? you -- you 're the reason that i know that i have a son . you 're the only reason that tate even has a father . you 're the reason . melanie : i have to go do something really fast before i go to the airport . will you wait here for me ? brady : i do n't -- no , i 'm going with you . melanie : no , no , no . i have to do this by myself . but will you wait here for me ? please ? brady : okay . sure . melanie : okay . do n't go anywhere . [ door closes ] melanie : [ sobbing ] maggie : brady ? [ chuckles ] i did n't expect to see you here . brady : hey , maggie . maggie : melanie , do you know where parker 's little game thingy is ? brady : m - m - maggie , she 's , um -- she 's not here . maggie : brady , what 's wrong ? [ knock at door ] theresa : how the hell did you know that i was here ? melanie : well , i called the hospital . i think they said you were being released today , but i could n't really hear through all the cheering and the brass band playing in the background . theresa : yeah , you know what ? i do n't think that my lawyer wants me to speak to either you or brady , okay ? melanie : relax , theresa . you got what you wanted . i 'm leaving salem . paige : what a surprise . everything 's my mother 's fault . jj : no . i did n't say that , and i do n't think it . it was all totally my fault . a - and what i meant was , when she got back , things started to change for us , 'cause she made something clear to me ... something i already knew , but i just did n't want to admit -- that i was n't good enough for you . and that scared the hell out of me . paige : i tried to tell you that that was n't true . jj : but you were wrong , 'cause your mom had it nailed . i thought that i was like my dad . well , i am . and it freaked me out to find out what he had done and what it really meant to be like him . and that 's when it all began . i started lying to you , and i never stopped . jennifer : get out of my office right now . eve : what ? so you can get back to your files , your reports , your little so- called stupid life like nothing has happened , huh ? you get to keep your son . and i have nothing . i do n't even know where she is . i have n't heard from paige . jennifer : you know what ? why do n't you just focus on how strong she is ? she has been so hurt . but she 's gon na be fine . eve : what ? have you seen her ? jennifer : she came by here earlier . eve : wait . to see you ? why ? jennifer : because she wanted answers , eve . eve : so -- so she came to see you ? what did you tell her , jennifer ? huh ? did you -- did you say it was all my fault here ? i swear to god , if she never speaks to me again , i 'm gon na blame you ! i 'm gon na hold you responsible ! you and that little degenerate son of yours ! jennifer : get out of my office . eve : you know , i totally get this . i see it so clearly now ... why you wanted paige and jj together -- because if he was with someone like her , you would n't have to tell yourself that he 's completely worthless . oh , my god . you wanted her to be the jennifer horton to his jack deveraux . [ chuckles ] jennifer : i see it now too . maybe your daughter will never speak to you again . maybe your daughter will never lay eyes on you again . and maybe that will be the best thing in the world for her . eve : you shut up . shut the hell up ! jennifer : what is -- eve ! marlena : thank you for waiting . paul : yeah , i wanted to , uh -- i wanted to ask you if you 're gon na tell me to stay away from sonny . marlena : no . i was gon na ask you about john . paul : mm . yeah , he said that you guys are going through a rough patch . the guy 's a hypocrite -- telling me to stay away from sonny when he had no problem going after you all those years ago . the fact that you had an affair with him , too , that makes you a hypocrite as well . marlena : well ... we both made mistakes . people do that . but i would n't have a practice if people always made the right choices . paul : well , i 'm not going to pretend that i do n't love sonny . and i 'm not going to lie to anybody , not even myself , the way you and my father did . marlena : oh , so you know exactly what john and i should have done ? and the truth is , if john had done that , you would n't exist . sonny : well , why do n't we start with honesty quarter - hour ? will : [ chuckles ] coward . sonny : you 're calling me a coward 'cause you know it 'll make me do it . will : is that how you honestly feel ? sonny : all right . who goes first ? will : you . since this was my big idea , i will sit in the hot seat first . sonny : all right . 60 minutes and counting . will : okay . first question . sonny : what really happened to my taylor swift t - shirt ? will : you go for the jugular , do n't you ? sonny : you see , honestly , i do n't think it got lost in the laundry . you inventory the laundry , and as long as i 've known you , you have n't lost as much as a sock . will : i threw it out . sonny : wha -- i knew it . why would you throw away my favorite shirt ? will : because , sonny , i feel like you were wearing it -- you thought you were wearing it ironically , but it wa -- sonny , it was kind of pitiful . sonny : well , that was honest . will : see ? that -- that 's the point . sonny : all right , well , then why do n't i ask you something a little more important ? why did you back out of the counseling session today ? will : i told you , i had a meeting . sonny : honestly . will : honestly , i had a meeting ... s - so that i would n't have to go to the session . sonny : why ? will : 'cause i was scared , sonny . i was just scared that if we were to just keep talking about everything ... you would just find even more reasons to leave me . jj : once i got started , the lies just became easier and easier . i lied about why i was so freaked out ... why i pushed you away ... about sleeping with your mother . i have been lying to you one way or another for months now . it seems like forever . paige : in this trip down memory lane ... do you happen to remember all of the times i asked you to come clean ? i asked you if there was anything else you needed to tell me , and you looked me in the eye and said no . jj : i know . and here 's the reason . it was so easy for me to lie over and over again 'cause there was one huge lie behind all the others . and the real lie was that i had changed ... 'cause you were right last night when you said that the guy that you fell in love with does n't exist ... because i am still the same guy who sold the drugs , who lied to my mom about everything , the guy who tore up the square , and i 'm still the guy who does n't deserve you . i kept lying over and over again 'cause i was too afraid to admit it to myself . jennifer : what is wrong with you ? eric : my god , what is happening here ? eve : she destroyed my daughter ! jennifer : i am gon na call security and press charges . get out of this office right now . eric : okay , eve , just go . eve : fine . jennifer , i know what i did . i made a huge mistake , a huge mistake , but so did you . and if -- and if i lose my daughter , it 's only fair and it 's only right that you lose your son . jennifer : [ sighs ] eric : jennifer ... what happened ? jennifer : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] brady : i think melanie should be the one to tell you what 's going on . maggie : okay . brady : she had something to do , and i 'm just -- i 'm just waiting for her to get back . maggie : so should i go ? brady : mm , probably . maggie : right . daniel ... melanie , and i were talking about family . actually , melanie was . and there was this undercurrent . um ... she seemed very emotional . and it felt like she was trying to say good - bye . [ chuckles ] i was really hoping i was wrong about that . [ sighs ] why ? why would she go ? theresa : oh . i - i 'm sorry . you took me by surprise . please come in . though , you know , i - i ... i hope you 're not leaving on account of me . i mean , i - i hope you did n't misunderstand that -- melanie : no , i understood exactly what you were getting at , which is why i 'm on the next flight to vienna to see my mom . but my hope , theresa , is that when i 'm gone , you stop using your son as a weapon to get what you want . theresa : that 's not what i 'm doing . melanie : you and i both know that 's exactly what you 're doing . and great job on the whole motherhood thing . you are off to a fantastic start . you know , some parents start a college savings account for their children , and some do the whole christening thing , but you used your son as blackmail , and that makes you despicable . theresa : oh , so no postcards from vienna , then . melanie : i know you think you 've won ... but it 's not gon na be very long before it smacks you in the face that you have lost . paul : so what are you saying ? it 's okay to make bad choices -- choices that can actually hurt people , simply because there might be a good chance that something good might come from it ? marlena : i 'm not talking about good choices or bad choices . i 'm just saying that sometimes maybe things happen for a reason . paul : you 're a psychiatrist , and you 're not supposed to believe in fate . marlena : what about when you came back to salem to find sonny ? paul : no , i came back to have surgery on my shoulder . i did n't even know he was in town . marlena : exactly . look how that turned out . you also had no idea that your father was here . so what i 'm saying is , regardless of your expectations , sometimes things are just beyond our control . jj : so , as -- as long as i had you in my life ... as long as i still loved you , i could convince myself that i was a decent guy . paige : so what if it meant lying to me day in and day out ? jj : and having figured all this out , paige ... i 'd still lie all over again just to keep you . paige : what ? jj : i was crazy in love with you , paige . and i still am . and i 'd do anything to keep you in my life . and i know ... i know that it 's the crazy kind of love like you talked about last night ... but maybe it 's the only kind of love that i know . what i do know now for certain is ... i ca n't go on without you . maggie : honey ... i think after what melanie -- how she was raised , she feels very strongly about giving a child every chance to grow up ... feeling loved and secure . and she would -- she 'd never want to do anything to jeopardize that for your son . brady : i love her , though . i love her so much . maggie : i know you do . brady : and i think ... i think we have to let her go . theresa : i - i ca n't imagine how you can possibly think that i lost . i mean , i have the most beautiful little boy , and ... [ sighs ] whom i 'm going to be able to raise with his loving father without a certain nagging , red - headed twerp hanging around . and our little family is just going to grow closer and closer and closer . melanie : what a beautiful fantasy . theresa : [ chuckles ] melanie : once again , theresa , you 've overplayed your cards . see , because brady knows that you 're forcing me out of his life , and he hates you for it . and even if i never come back , he will always hate you . theresa : he 'll get over it . mm - hmm . melanie : see , that 's the thing about hate ... is it solidifies , and it freezes . theresa : mm . melanie : and you will always be the person who used his son to get rid of the woman he loves . theresa : why do n't you go now ? melanie : you know what 's so funny ? theresa : what ? melanie : had you just left everything alone , you might have gotten what you wanted . do n't get me wrong -- i love brady more than anything , and he loves me too , but we were n't ready for the lifetime - commitment thing yet , and who knows ? maybe we could have just drifted apart . and you could have snuck right in and taken my place , but once again , you were too stupid . theresa : just go . [ clears throat ] melanie : oh ... be good to tate . he just might end up being the only person in the entire world who does n't hate you . theresa : [ chuckles ] melanie : [ sighs ] when i 'm out in the hot sun , paul : do you know where theresa donovan 's room is ? i need to smooth things over with her . anne : yeah , well , she went home for a little bit , you know . oh , oh , but look . oh , her little baby boy is back . aw . paul : hey , tate . i 'm your uncle paul . sonny : will , i 'm not looking for reasons to leave you . will : and i 'm not saying that you are . sonny , it 's just i - i know that i screwed up ... over and over again . and i 'm afraid that if we see a counselor ... she 'll just keep pointing it out . and eventually you 'll wonder why you 're even with me . sonny : that is not going to happen . will : well , anyway , i promise that we 'll go see the counselor for the session you scheduled . sonny : right . so i 'm glad that we were honest . will : i , uh , i have to go for an interview , but i think we have time for another question . sonny : go for it . will : paul asked you if you were still in love with him . you did n't answer . so ... are you ? theresa : it worked . she 's leaving . she 's wrong . brady will get over it . it 's just gon na take a little time . [ laughing ] oh . oh , god . and then ... oh , and then we are finally , finally going to be together . [ giggles , squeals ] melanie : [ sighs ] melanie : hi . maggie : hey . melanie : do you know where dad and parker are ? maggie : i 'll go get them . melanie : thank you . maggie : see you . melanie : i told theresa the good news . [ chuckles ] brady : i hate her . i hate her for doing this to us . melanie : i know . i have to wonder , though , a little bit , now that you know i 'm leaving and that i made this decision for both of us ... do you hate me too ? paige : you know what the sad thing is , jj ? i did n't need you to be some kind of saint . i knew you were n't perfect , that you made mistakes . all i needed was for you to be honest with me ... well , that and not sleep with my mother . anyway , i 'm sorry if you have some self - esteem issues , but i really do n't give a damn . for all i care , you can go straight to hell . jj : i 'm already there . paige : good . eric : is there anything i can do to help ? jennifer : [ sighs ] thank you , but , um ... i just do n't want to talk about it quite yet . eric : okay . well , just call me if you need a friend . be careful of eve donovan , okay ? when somebody 's that angry , you never know what they might do . jennifer : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] eve : paige , honey , will you please just call me ? i love you . mm - mm , jennifer . no , you and jj are not gon na get away with this . mm - mm . | paige did n't want to talk to jj . eve was upset with jennifer for losing paige . sonny was upset with will for missing their therapy session . theresa told anne about her plan . melanie told brady that she was leaving salem . brady tried to convince melanie not to leave but her mind was made up . when will came home , he wanted to do something with sonny . jj wanted to tell paige why he lied to her . eve and jennifer argued over jj and paige . will wanted to do therapy he saw online , but sonny was n't interested . jj told paige why he slept with eve . he felt he was n't good enough for paige . jennifer threatened eve if she did anything to jj . anne told theresa that melanie might not fall for her plan , but theresa was ready . if theresa 's plan did n't work , she was willing to move to california . a nurse told theresa she could go home . |

i just told you i ca n't stand him . i let him think i was crazy about him . i do n't know what part of that does n't compute with you . it 's an act . dario : right , so you 're alone in a bar , drinking and scowling because everything is going so well . nicole : it is . you know how i know ? deimos is trying , not too subtly , to play kate and me against each other . so my magic that you say i have is working . in defense , he 's maintaining that he 's gon na marry kate . dario : why ? what 's his plan ? nicole : i do n't know . i mean , i can see his strategy , but i -- i do n't know what his final goal is . dario : does he know your final goal ? to get him back for what he did to maggie ? nicole : he thinks it 's possible . he asked me if i was on victor 's payroll . dario : so he does n't trust you . nicole : no . but it 's not a big deal , because he does n't trust kate either . he does n't trust anyone . he has n't for 30 years . dario : so you think this marriage thing with kate is , what , just meant to freak you out , get you to tip your hand ? nicole : maybe . maybe he just likes playing us . he 's not a warm and fuzzy man . dario : you do n't think it 's dangerous that he suspects that you 're working for victor ? nicole : when he asked me about it , i covered it . i 'm not sure he believes me . but i 'm not sure he cares . dario : really ? nicole : i think it ups the ante for him . i mean , i 've never met a man with so much self - confidence . he thinks he 's invincible . dario : maybe he is ... which means you do n't stand a chance . downtown kate : did you like my treasure hunt ? deimos : yes , i did , very much . i have to admit i was a little surprised that you were the treasure . i thought you were angry with me . at least that 's the impression i had when you called off our engagement . you just ca n't stay mad at me , ca n't you ? kate : i am angry at you . i 'm furious with you . you 're going to have to calm me down . deimos : and how do you propose i do that ? kate : oh , i do n't know . you decide . but for the record , tonight 's your last chance . john : no , nothing yet . joey 's still missing , but we 're closing in him . paul : well , i knew you 'd be able to help . john : ah , just wanted to be here for steve . paul : but you 're not pushing yourself too hard , are you ? i mean , it has n't been that long since you were laid up with a virus . john : [ laughs ] same goes for you , kid . how you feeling ? paul : ah . i 'm getting better every day . kayla : i -- i just -- i 'm sorry . i just ca n't . i do n't -- fynn : it 's okay . yeah , i understand . you 're very vulnerable right now , and i do n't want to take advantage of you . joey : sorry to disappoint you , but i did n't do anything . steve : joe , do n't lie to me . if i do n't know exactly what went down here , i ca n't help you . joey : maybe i do n't want your help . steve : no ? you want your mom to have to visit you in prison ? because that 's a very real possibility if you do n't get very smart in the next few seconds . now , did you have anything to do with those robberies ? that 's a yes . look at me . you need to tell me everything right now . you need to tell me exactly what you did . joey : [ sighs ] i drove the getaway car once . and i did n't even know what was going down when i got behind the wheel . i swear it was n't until after that i even realized what i did . steve : and that 's it ? joey : no . i broke into a store and took something for jade , but that 's it . steve : [ sighs ] all right . you are gon na make a call here , joe . you 're gon na own up to what you did or not . i 'm not gon na tell you what to do . this is your choice , just like it was your choice to get involved with these people and to drive their car . joey : [ sighs ] i came here to try to find myself . steve : joe . you do n't find yourself by running away . joey : you 've been running your whole life . steve : yeah . and i found out that home is right here . it 's not out there somewhere . and i paid for all that running . i think i finally learned my lesson . but this right here , this is your lesson . nicole : i am way too close to winning to back away now . i think i could get the upper hand with deimos . dario : what , 'cause you look like that dead broad ? nicole : you 're a real poet . you know that ? dario : i think you 're banking a lot on a resemblance . nicole : that resemblance is his weakness , his achilles ' heel . his memory of that woman makes him sentimental , romantic . his mind is a steel trap , but his heart ? his heart is mush . and his heart is how i 'm gon na make him pay for what he did to maggie . dario : i still think you 're playing with fire . nicole : i 've been playing with fire my whole life . kate : well , if you 'd rather not , fine . [ percussive music ] deimos : ooh ! mm . and here i thought you preferred it a bit more gentle . kate : not tonight , i do n't . i do n't know what to do . i 'm screwed either way . joey : [ sighs ] i do n't know what to do . i 'm screwed either way . jade : who the hell do you think you are , anyway ? hayes : you need to be careful , miss . you do n't want to make things any worse . jade : you do n't scare me . simone : do n't let him antagonize you . these storm troopers are n't going to find anything . why do n't you find someplace quiet and meditate until they 're gone , okay ? hayes : sorry , miss . before you go ... meditate , i need to see your hand . jade : no . i know my rights . hayes : so do i , miss . you 're going to show me your hand , either here or down at the station . joey : hey ! just leave her alone . kayla : that was awkward . fynn : it does n't need to be . kayla : yeah , except i just made a fool of myself . fynn : nah . you were in a really bad place , and you reached out for some comfort . trust me ; i wanted to provide that comfort . you 're so beautiful , kayla . kayla : i feel stupid . fynn : if there 's anything you 're not , it 's stupid . kayla : you 're just such a nice guy and been so supportive and caring , and i guess i just kind of got swept up . i did n't think about what you need or , actually , really what you do n't need , which is someone who 's ambivalent and confused . i would n't want to hurt you . fynn : oh , kayla , do n't worry about me . i 'm tough . [ both chuckle ] kayla : i , um ... think i 'm gon na go wash my face and try to pull myself together . try . [ laughs ] ugh , i 'm sorry . [ knock at door ] paul : well , it 's been a long time , henry . henry : yeah . yeah , it has . sorry about that . i , uh -- i got caught up in some school stuff , college applications . you know how it is . paul : actually , i got drafted out of high school , so i never did the whole college thing . sometimes i feel like i missed out . henry : ah . well , consider yourself lucky . i mean , `` what do you hope to get out of your college experience ? `` `` uh , how about a job ? `` [ both chuckle ] paul : well , i 'm sure that you wrote a great essay and you 're gon na kick ass wherever you end up . henry : yeah , well , i owe a lot of those things to you . you know , i finally came out . you know , to my parents . paul : that 's huge ! henry : mm . paul : congratulations . how did it go ? i mean , i know that you were worried because your parents are so connected to the church . henry : yeah , they said they 've known since i was five . yeah , apparently , they were just waiting for me to figure it out myself , so ... paul : so they were okay with it . henry : yeah , yeah . i mean , underneath , they seemed a little disappointed , but they said they support me no matter what . paul : well , i 'm happy for you , man . i mean , it took a lot of courage to do what you did . henry : yeah . uh , this 'll take some courage too . paul : what ? what do you mean ? what -- [ chuckles ] what 'll take courage ? henry : what i 'm about to ask you . will you go out with me ? [ country music ] deimos : [ sighs ] kate : that was nice . deimos : [ laughs ] yeah , that 's certainly one way to describe it . mmm . kate : so are you ready ? deimos : you know , i think even i may need a few more minutes . kate : that 's not what i mean . i mean to get popped and get ready for vegas . deimos : all right , wait a minute . you still want to get married . tonight . right now . kate : well , i took the liberty of telling your pilot to gas up the jet and file a flight plan . deimos : wow . kate : mm - hmm . deimos : you 're pretty sure of yourself , are n't you ? kate : well , if i was n't a half hour ago , i am now . deimos : mm - hmm . so should i assume that you 've made peace with yourself about the prenup , that you 're willing to sign it now ? kate : [ scoffs ] no . no , i 'm not signing that , definitely not . deimos : [ chuckles ] all right , i just want to make sure that i understand this . now , you said you would n't sign the prenup , you said that you had a problem with my relationship with nicole , and then you called off the engagement . but now you want me to jump on a plane to vegas to marry you . kate : yeah . every girl dreams about a june wedding . deimos : hmm . so i 'm guessing that since you wo n't sign the prenup , you 're still gon na issue an ultimatum . kate : you ca n't ever see nicole again . deimos : ah , okay . kate : and that 's not out of jealousy . i 'm looking out for you . she has no intention of sleeping with you . she 's playing you , deimos . deimos : hmm . well , your concern for me is overwhelming . or -- and now this is just off the top of my head -- maybe you 're playing me too . kate : really ? you really think that i 'm interested only in your money ? deimos : prove me wrong . sign the prenup . kate : no . no . i 'm pretty sure that you know my net worth . i do n't need your money , and i do n't want your money . deimos : excellent . then let me get my pen . kate : i want -- i want you because you move me in a very powerful way , maybe more than any man i 've known . maybe that 's because we both share a perspective on life . but i know that when i look into your eyes , i know that we 're meant for each other , and i 've known that since the first moment i saw you . we both like money , but we crave power . and i do want to share that power with you . but if i sign the prenup , then you think you 've won and i have lost . we will be grand together but only as equals . deep down , you know i 'm right . john : do i have the wrong room ? i thought this was kayla 's . fynn : no , it is . we -- we just had dinner . she 's washing up . john : okay if i wait for her ? fynn : yeah , sorry , sure . john : so ... read any good books lately ? hayes : so who are you ? joey : i did n't think i 'd ever see you again . jade : i thought you were on your way back to salem . joey : i 'm sorry about before . jade : i 'm sorry you did n't fight harder for me . you would have if you really loved me . joey : i do love you . but you were right . i ca n't let go of my parents . hayes : okay , romeo and juliet . hands -- like i said , down here or down at the station . simone : do n't threaten them . and they do n't have to show you their hands . they have rights . hayes : well , ma'am , if you read the search warrant i handed you , you would know that your innocent children 's hands are specifically mentioned . parker ? jade : no , do n't touch me ! joey : jade . do n't . deimos : you make a very compelling argument . we do everything your way , and it 's all for my own good . kate : because i know exactly who you are . and if i let you bully me into signing the agreement , into tolerating nicole 's obvious pursuit of you , then you 'll think less of me . if i bow to you , it 's over . deimos : you really think that ? kate : no , i know that , because no one understands you the way i do -- your needs , your desires , especially for power . you and i together ... no one could stop us , could they ? deimos : no . no , they could n't . kate : i 'm glad that you agree . deimos : so ... what do you say we get married ? tonight , right now . kate : well , that was much easier than i thought it would be . deimos : you having second thoughts ? kate : not a one . i 'm going to shower first . you 're not going to regret this . deimos : i better not . i 'll let the pilot know that we 'll leave in about an hour . kate : let the games begin . deimos : absolutely .

[ phone beeps ] henry : [ chuckles ] guess i kind of took you by surprise . paul : yeah , yeah , you could say that . [ chuckles ] henry : look , i mean , it does n't have to be anything big . yeah , we could just get dinner or -- or go to a movie , even have coffee , if that 's better for you . paul : henry , i -- i 'm flattered that you want to go out with me . i 'm just not sure it 'd be such a good idea . i mean , i 'm too old for you . you should go out with someone your own age . henry : oh . okay , i get it . paul : wait , wait . no , no , i -- i do n't think that you do . henry : [ scoffs ] hey , i mean , you 're -- you 're famous , right ? i mean , you could have any guy that you want , and i 'm just -- i 'm just a nobody . paul : no , do n't say that . do n't ever say that . you 're -- you 're smart . you 're sensitive . you 're good - looking . henry : you think so ? paul : who would n't ? you 've got so much to offer someone , henry . just not ... henry : just not for you . paul : look , it 's just that our whole relationship has been more of a -- a mentor - student thing . henry : no reason that ca n't change . kayla : john . did steve find joey ? is everything all right ? john : well , i do n't know . i have n't heard from him yet , but really no reason why i should have . i 'm sure he 's got his hands full trying to find that simone woman . kayla : well , then why are you here ? john : just want to make sure that you 're all right . kayla : really ? or did steve send you here to babysit me ? or maybe stop me from looking for joey myself ? joey : leave her alone . she has n't done anything . if you 're looking for a scorpion , then here . hayes : one more time , kid . who are you ? joey : my name is joseph johnson . hayes : well , mr. johnson , i have a picture i 'd like to show you . it 's the car parked in front of the last convenience store that was robbed . quite a coincidence , do n't you think ? the driver 's wearing a jacket just like the one you 're wearing now . you have anything you want to say about that ? dario : i 'm guessing your phone call with deimos went according to plan . nicole : i think it did . dario : you think ? nicole : i told him i needed to see him and where . and then i hung up before he could answer . dario : why ? nicole : i did n't want to give him a chance to say no , which will give me the upper hand . deimos does n't like women who are pushovers . dario : you hope . nicole : no . i know . dario : well , if he likes strong women , he has options . [ sighs ] kate : you 're in a hurry to go . i have n't even packed yet . deimos : well , that makes two of us . i need to run a quick errand before we take off . kate : really ? mm . you must have minions to do those errands for you . deimos : [ chuckles ] i 'm sure you do n't want one of my minions picking out your wedding ring , now , do you ? kate : i highly doubt that there are jewelry stores open at this hour . deimos : oh , ye of little faith . kate : what 's really going on ? do n't let dust and allergies get between you henry : i mean , you hear about stuff like that all the time -- you know , students and teachers hooking up . it would n't be weird . paul : well , it would for me . i 'm sorry . and on top of that , there 's still someone out there i think about . henry : anyone i know ? i 'm sorry . i should n't have asked that . it 's -- it 's none of my business . um , well , i got to order some takeout . paul : sure , yeah . it 's nice to see you , henry . henry : you too . you know , whoever he is , he 's a lucky guy . john : no , steve did n't send me here to babysit . in fact , he does n't even know i 'm here . kayla : then why are you here ? john : well , as i started to say , i was worried about you . i did n't like the way you sounded on the phone this afternoon . kayla : i 'm fine . john : are you sure ? steve said you were suffering a subdermal hematoma . fynn : that 's why i came along for the ride . she 's fine . she 's just worried about joey . john : of course she is . kayla : so if you just came by here to see how i am and offer your support , help me out ... john : right . kayla : well , that 's good , because i think that you and steve know exactly where joey is . and i want you to take me to him right now . joey : i gave you my name . that 's all i 'm gon na say . hayes : well , if you want to talk in private , we can go outside , down to the stationhouse , and -- joey : i know my rights . i also know that i 'm not the only person in southern california who has a jacket like this . simone : he 's right . the only thing that connects him or any of my kids is the scorpion , and it 's a known fact that eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable . do you have any actual proof that this young man was in that car ? hayes : i never said the perpetrator acted alone . and we have witnesses who say they saw a young woman in the car . joey : she was n't there . she did n't have anything to do with it . hayes : well , mr. johnson , how can you be so sure of that ? joey : because i was the one driving the car . deimos : i thought you would be pleased that i was buying you a wedding ring . kate : well ... there are rings in vegas . if the wedding chapels are open 24 hours a day , i 'm sure the jewelry stores are open 24 hours a day . deimos : kate . you 're much too classy for some ring from an all - night gyp joint on the strip . you deserve something not sold in jewelry stores , something reserved for high - priced buyers , something as unique as you are . kate : that 's so lovely . go ahead . i 'm going to have you all packed when you get back . deimos : excellent . i knew you 'd see it my way . i 'll be back before you know it . [ door closes ] hayes : son , you just admitted to participating in first - degree robbery . that 's three to nine years in prison . joey : i admitted to driving a car . i had no idea a robbery was about to take place . i was tricked . hayes : well , what about after the robbery took place ? you were n't tricked when you took off in the car with the stolen items . in the eyes of the law , that 's participation . i 'm sure the da will cut you a break after you finish telling us who robbed that store . john : well , why do n't we just slow down and think about this ? we ca n't go busting in on steve and joey without knowing what the situation is , so let 's just sit tight , wait for steve to call -- kayla : no , no , no , no , no ! you know what ? i do n't want to sit tight , and i 'm done thinking . fynn : look , i think he 's right , kayla . you know steve 's gon na call if he finds joey . john : we do n't even know if he 's with that girl 's aunt . he could be looking someplace totally different . kayla : well , then he should call and tell me that . that is my son that 's out there , the one that i raised while he was out there being a secret agent . i want you to take me there , john . now . or i 'm gon na go by myself . joey : i 'm not gon na say anything more . i drove the car . that 's all you 're gon na get from me . hayes : right . joseph johnson , you 're under arrest for first - degree robbery . jade : what ? hayes : you have the right to remain silent . if you give up that right , anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . [ dramatic music ] [ water gurgling ] [ crickets chirping ] [ light music ] deimos : you have my curiosity . what could be so urgent where champagne is involved ? nicole : i ca n't stop thinking about the last time we saw each other . i do n't think you trust me . and everything you 've done so far has been to test me . deimos : really ? nicole : and quite frankly , i do n't blame you for mistrusting me ... until tonight . tonight i realized that i would throw away my entire plan to be with you . i mean , you made me feel something i 've never felt before , and i 'm scared . deimos : so why did you call me ? nicole : because i do n't like being scared . and i do n't like running away from how i feel .

as in marriage ? steve : as in down on one knee with a ring . hope : did -- did she say `` yes `` ? did you see him put the ring on her finger ? was she crying ? was he crying ? steve : i was n't gon na hang around and torture myself . i went back to kayla 's office , wrote her a note , and i got the hell out of there . hope : what was in the note ? steve : i just told 'em i was happy for 'em both . what else could i say at this point ? hope : well , how about the truth , steve ? steve : truth is , i got there too late . hope : you do n't know that . she could have said `` no . `` steve : why would she ? she loves him . what ? what 's with the look ? hope : she loves you . she loves you , steve . kayla : justin , i do n't -- i do n't think that either one of us take the idea of marriage lightly . i think that both of us thought that our previous relationships would be the last , and i know that neither one of us think that a decision this monumental should be taken impulsively . justin : i 'm not . kayla : but where is this coming from , then ? justin : what do you mean ? i love you . earlier today , i , um ... kayla : what ? justin : i went to visit adrienne 's grave , and i asked her for a sign , a sign that she was okay with me asking you to be my wife . kayla : justin -- justin : and a second later , sonny showed up , and he gave me his blessing because he knows how happy you make me . and i know that i make you happy too . kayla : of course you do . justin : we have endured so much heartache . it 's what brought us together in the first place , and we helped each other through that . but joy ... joy . joy is what i want in my life right now . it 's what sonny wants for me and what adrienne would want for me , and most importantly , it 's what i want for you . so i guess the only question left is , what do you want ? the thing with depression , you get ... stuck . kate : so what does that mean , that it 's not my job -- not my job to make you look good ? does that mean that you 're firing me ? abe : [ laughs ] no . no . i am setting clear expectations , which i should have done when i took the considerable risk of hiring you in the first place . kate : okay , look . abe , i know that all of the sane people told you that i would stab you in the back in the end . abe : kate , i know that you 're used to being the boss and giving orders , but this job , it 's important that you learn to follow them . kate : i understand that . abe : i 'm not sure you do . kate : [ scoffs ] [ laughs ] need i remind you that i spent the last year working as a waitress at the pub ? i literally took orders from people for a living . abe : well , then it seems like you have a problem taking them from me , and if you think that problem 's going to continue , then maybe we should part ways . rafe : after everything that you have done , you 're still suing me for custody ? oh , i -- i get it . it 's 'cause you ca n't be with your own kid , so you 're going after mine . zoey : you have n't adopted him yet . rafe : i will . zoey : well , he is my flesh and blood , my family . rafe : you do n't even know him . you -- i have raised him for over a year , which was his mother 's wish , who is no longer with us because of your brother . zoey : you know , we do n't have to be adversarial . we -- we both love david . if i get custody of him , i 'll let you see him . rafe : `` see him `` ? will you ? oh , really ? you 're gon na let me `` see him `` ? zoey : look , do you wan na try and work this out , or do you wan na take it to court ? because if you do , i guarantee you , you 'll lose . rafe : mm . sonny : rafe 's situation with david 's pretty unusual . will : you mean , the fact that one biological parent got arrested for murdering the other ? sonny : it 's like the worst - case scenario . if we do adopt , i 'm sure we 're not gon na have to go through a nightmare like that , okay ? will : yeah . of course , we , you know -- we could always try to have a baby of our own . sonny : surrogacy ? will : yeah . i mean , we 'd have to find an egg donor and a gestational carrier . sonny : and then we have to decide which one of us is gon na be the biological father . eli : wait , is the idea of you losing another child so terrifying that you would never wan na try again ? lani : i do n't know . maybe i would wan na adopt . there 's so many children out there who need homes . eli : adopt . lani : i guess we should have talked about this before now . eli : i guess so . lani : eli , if not having a biological child is a deal breaker for you , i understand . and if it 's that important to you , then ... we probably should n't get married . eli : lani , i have been waiting years to marry you . in some ways , i 've been waiting my entire life . lani : but you 've also been waiting to have a child . and eli , i do n't know if can give that to you . so if you have to move on , or -- eli : wait , wait , wait , wait -- hey , hey . stop . when it comes to you and me , there is no such thing as a `` deal breaker . `` lani : but if you wan na have a baby ... eli : yes ... okay , i would be thrilled to have a baby with you because i think it would make our love even stronger . but if you do n't wan na go through with this pregnancy , it 's your choice . lani : and you would support me ? eli : if that 's the decision you make ... then yes . i 'll support you 100 % . will : you should be the bio dad . sonny : why me ? will : well , because , you know , i already have a biological child , and plus , i would not be mad if our kid had your smile . sonny : well , patrick and damian at the gym actually mixed their sperm together before ivf . this way , they would n't know who the biological father was . will : well , i mean , except the kid had red hair and freckles , so it was pretty obvious that damian was the father . yeah . sonny : well , you knows ? i mean , what -- maybe we -- maybe we 'll have twins . i just -- i -- i just want to leave it up to fate . will : well , all i care about is providing a loving home for our kid , and of course i 'm biased but i think no family has more love to share than ours . kayla : um , i know it 's been tough on us since steve -- the real steve came back . but i have told you over and over again that i love you . justin : sweetheart , if you 're not ready , you do n't need to answer me right now . i know it 's sudden , and i do n't wan na rush you . so i 'll wait ... as long as it takes . you 're worth it . hope : i 've known kayla my whole adult life , and when you pushed her away , she was shocked , steve , humiliated , and she was angry , and she had every right to be . steve : you 're saying she went to justin to get over me ? hope : deep down in her heart , i know that she still loves you , and that is why you ca n't give up on her . steve : but still , it 's her decision , not mine . hope : oh , my gosh , steven ! still ? yet again , you are still trying to make the decision for her . we decided -- you decided ... kay deserves the chance , the opportunity to make her own decision . steve : i 'm sure by now , she has . hope : oh , but she does n't have all the facts . when justin proposed to her , she did n't know how you felt . steve : well , she knows how she feels . hope : wow . you 're tough . loving justin and committing to marriage , they 're two completely different things . and the kayla that i know would never give her whole heart to another man when a huge part of it still belongs to you . when our daughter and her kids moved in with us ... kate : abe . i know you enjoy the trappings of being mayor . abe : the trappings ? kate : yeah , you know , the best places to park , $ 500 shoes , the custom suits . i mean , come on . it 's all a power trip , right ? abe : you know , actually , i 'm trying to make a difference in this town . kate : well , you and i are going to be out of a job after the next election if you do n't do what 's necessary to rehabilitate your image . abe : my image is fine . kate : yeah ? really ? would you like to see the latest polls ? because you are down . you are under 40 % . that 's somewhere between damp socks and salmonella . abe : you know , polls are fickle . kate : face it -- your popularity is in the toilet . i mean , this demands drastic measures . abe : this will take care of itself . kate : it 's not going to take care of itself . abe , honestly , i mean , can you honestly tell me that there 's anything wrong with you basking in the reflected glory of steve and hope 's actions ? i mean , what 's the downside of that ? abe : the downside ? giving the keys of the city to a woman who pushed her cousin off of a rooftop ? and to a -- to a man who kidnapped his own wife ? kate : everyone knows that they were n't in control of their actions . abe : you sure about that ? kate : oh , yeah , i 'm sure of it . you 're sure of it . you 're just being stubborn . abe : [ laughs ] i 'm being stubborn ? kate : uh - huh , uh - huh . you wan na see ? because 67 % of your electorate think that . now i know why sheila quit . abe : you offering to resign ? kate : hell no , because i 'm not a quitter . but i 'll tell you what . i mean , if you really object to honoring steve and hope , that 's fine . i 'll just call it off , you know , and you can sit back , and you can watch your numbers go : whoo ... [ imitates explosion ] eli : baby , if your mind is made up that you do n't wan na have this child ... then i 'll support you . lani : [ sighs ] i have n't even had time to process it . i just know how i felt when i saw that test . eli : you 're allowed to have doubts . i mean , we all -- we all do . lani : yeah , but these were more than doubts . eli : i know , but you got -- you have time . and whatever you decide , i 'll be there for you . lani : thank you . and know that i would never make this decision lightly . i know that there are so many people out there dying to have a child , and they can't . will : you know what ? if you want , i can call kayla right now and get some recommendations for fertility clinics . sonny : well , i mean , maybe we 're getting just a little ahead of ourselves . will : oh . are we moving too fast ? sonny : no , i was just thinking about ari . given what gabi 's going through right now , i do n't know if ari 's gon na be open to having another sibling . i mean , we have n't even told her that gabi was arrested . will : [ sighs ] well , you know , a couple years ago , ari was all about being a big sister ... remember ? sonny : yeah . will : she was upset that gabi could n't have more kids . sonny : i know , but a lot has changed . i think ari likes being the center of our universe . will : well , i think it would be good for her if she were a little bit less the center of everyone 's universe . but the point is , i think ari would be so excited about being a big sister , but you 're right . that 's a long ways off , and we do n't wan na get her hopes up before , you know , we 're sure it 's gon na happen . sonny : agreed . because whether we go the route of adoption or surrogacy , it 's gon na be a -- a long road . will : oh , yeah , totally . i mean , there 's gon na be a lot of decisions that we have to make along the way , but ... sonny : but the most important decision has already been made . we are having a baby together . rafe : i ca n't believe you think you 're gon na win custody of david . zoey : you know , you better start believing . rafe : mm , if you persist in bringing this case , you leave me no choice but to use everything i have against you . zoey : and what does that mean ? rafe : well , for starters , you already have a kid that you ca n't look after . zoey : that is not true . rafe : oh , is n't it ? and i 'm sure that the judge would be interested in knowing that you were an accessory to a kidnapping , that you pulled a gun on me , and that you almost killed a cop . zoey : you know that that was -- rafe : facts are facts . it does n't matter if you were looking for your son or not . i 'll tell ya , shooting a cop is not a good look in court . zoey : well , i know my way around a courtroom . rafe : mm , well , then you should know you 're gon na lose . and if you do n't stop now , you 're gon na leave me no choice but to tear you apart . back off ! abe : i am not going to renege on the promise you made . it will only make me seem weak . kate : weaker . abe : solid and dependable ... that 's part of my brand , right ? 71 % . kate : oh , my god , you actually read my research . abe : all 273 pages . kate : oh , well , you should have seen the first draft . abe : look , kate , you should know that i care a lot more about policy than pr , but i will admit that your idea about honoring hope and steve is not without merit . kate : `` not without merit `` ? that 's such a glowing compliment . abe : just do n't do anything like that again . kate : yes , sir , mr . mayor . your wish is my command . zoey : i would n't be so cocky if i were you . your background is n't exactly squeaky - clean either . rafe : well , i 'd put mine up against yours any day . zoey : was n't your sister just arrested ? and your father , he 's a criminal too , if i 'm not mistaken . and what about your brother ? rafe : not involved in this . zoey : hmm , we 'll see . what i do know is , judges almost always rule in favor of a biological relative , and the wishes of david 's only living parent are a huge consideration . rafe : yeah , well , it just so happens his parent is in prison . i 'm the only father that david 's ever known . you do n't stand a chance in hell . zoey : i guess we 'll find out in court , wo n't we ? eli : if i never have a biological baby of my own , it 's okay . a baby is a blessing , and to raise a child with you would be a dream come true , but ... i do n't wan na sway you . whatever decision you make , i want it to be your choice ... and i will be with you no matter what . lani : eli ...

[ scene_break ] julie : i still say there 's a logical explanation . jennifer : julie , come over here and take a look at this . right here -- the new baby book . julie : how can this be ? how can jack have written a letter to the baby ? jennifer : patrick is actually the one who wrote the letter , but this is exactly what jack would have written . julie : why would patrick be writing to your baby -- to jack 's baby ? why ? jennifer : because he was trying to make me feel better -- trying to make me feel like part of jack was still here . julie : i think he 's trying to manipulate you , jennifer . jennifer : manipulate me ? julie : i 've said it before , i 'll say it again -- there is no difference between patrick and that gold - digging mother of his . they 're just a couple of con artists , jennifer . oh , my god , what if they 're behind these voices that you 're hearing ? jennifer : what ? julie , that is ridiculous . besides , what would they have to gain ? and i already told you , jack said only things that he would have known . [ scene_break ] bonnie : if this is the scam , i have to say it 's pretty lame . honey , the last thing you want is that little girl thinking that her husband is still alive . what 's that gon na get you ? patrick : i had nothing to do with this , mom . i 'm not the one making her hear voices . bonnie : but you do agree with me . you think it 's a scam . and what 's more , you know who 's behind it .

[ scene_break ] lexie : jack , the truth is we do n't know whether this is n't something serious . jack : let 's just keep that between you and me . lexie : jennifer 's your wife . trust me , you do not want to shut her out . jack : i told you , i 'm not shutting her out . i 'm just not putting her through the ringer over something that 's probably gon na turn out to be a big , fat nothing ! lexie : well , i just hope that 's the case . jack : you and me both . lexie : look , i will respect our doctor / patient confidentiality , but you are making a big mistake . jack : i do n't think so . and if i am , i 'll deal with it when the time comes . lexie : i wish you would postpone this trip until after we 've heard from the mayo . jack : nope , no can do . lexie : how did i know you 'd say that ? listen , i want you to take these samples with you . if you start feeling dizzy , disoriented , or even just a little lightheaded , take one . it will help restore your equilibrium . and i do n't want you driving . jack : wait a minute . no , no , no . i always drive . i always drive . what am i gon na tell jennifer ? lexie : you can start with the truth . [ scene_break ] sami : chloe answered the phone ? brady : yes . lucas : i still say it was some kind of trick , some kind of computer - generated voice or somebody impersonating her . brady : no , lucas , that 's what i thought , but i know chloe 's voice . it was her , and nicole was with her . lucas : why was nicole with chloe ? brady : i do n't know , but as soon as chloe said hello , nicole immediately snatched the phone away and denied it was chloe who answered . lucas : yeah , that 's the first thing that makes sense . if chloe 's alive , then nicole 's not gon na want you to find out . brady : but that does n't make any sense because nicole would n't keep something like that from me . lucas : come on , man , of course she would . if chloe 's alive , nicole 's out of the picture . she knows that . she 's not stupid . i was married to her . all she cares about is herself . brady : lucas , i 've told you , nicole has changed . if chloe is alive , nicole would tell me about it . she would want me to be happy . sami : [ thinking ] do n't bet on it . stan : now listen up , 'cause you only have one shot to keep ghoul girl away from him . nicole : okay , i 'm listening , just tell me what i need to do . stan : nothing too tough . you just need to see to it that her reconstructive surgery never happens . sami : well , while you two debate nicole 's virtues , i 'm going to go get a drink . oh , god . all right . i have to stop nicole . i have to make sure that she does n't do anything to hurt chloe because if she does and she gets caught , she 's gon na tell everyone that stan put her up to it . and if tony gets caught , he 's gon na tell everyone who stan is . god , i do n't want to listen to your answering machine . where are you , nicole ? lucas : i do n't know . my money still says it 's some kind of dimera trick . brady : what if it 's true , lucas , and chloe really is alive ? lucas : what are you gon na do about nicole ? [ scene_break ] nicole : [ grunting ] aah . [ breathing heavily ] well ... that was easier than i thought . i should have suffocated that sideshow freak a long time ago . well , it was a nice fantasy . if only i did n't have to be the one to actually do it . did you have a nice nap ? chloe : did brady really call ? nicole : i 'm afraid so . chloe : i was hoping it was just a bad dream . nicole : it 's a bad dream , all right . chloe : nicole , you have to help me . we ca n't let brady find out the truth , that i 'm alive . nicole : actually , i was doing a lot of thinking while you were asleep , and i may have the perfect solution . [ scene_break ] john : you know where to reach me . yeah . marlena : what did donovan say ? belle : are shawn and philip alive ? are they safe ? john : no word yet . he 'll call me as soon as he hears something . belle : i ca n't stand this . marlena : honey , we 'll hear something soon . i 'm sure we will . belle : and what if it 's bad news ? what if it 's the worst news ? marlena : belle , just do n't think that , okay ? belle : i ca n't help it , okay , because you 're wrong , mom . this is my fault . because of me , philip and shawn may both be dead . marlena : no , do n't be ridiculous ! kate : no . it 's not ridiculous . she 's right . you 're right . and it 's good that you 're finally taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions . it 's just too bad it did n't happen sooner . belle : i 'm so sorry that this happened . if there is any way to undo it , i would . i would do anything . kate : yes , but there is n't anything you can do now , is there ? it 's too late . roman : kate , do n't . kate : no . and the two men who love you ? they 're now in jeopardy or they 're dead , all because of you . john : whoa , kate , that 's enough . belle did n't force philip to enlist or finish out the tour of duty . marlena : and she never led him into a minefield . roman : and they are both right . and if shawn 's in jeopardy , it 's probably because he went to look for philip . kate : how can you say that to me ? roman : kate , this is no time to blame people . kate : philip took that assignment that got him caught by tony dimera so he could be home with his wife sooner , and the whole time he 's risking his life , she 's carrying on with shawn . and , no , maybe she did n't lead him into a minefield , but she did lead him on . she pretended to love him , and then she broke her wedding vows . belle : i have n't betrayed him . kate : why ? because you have n't slept with him ? we all know you want to if he comes home alive . and if philip comes home alive , you 're gon na break his heart . you 're gon na make him wish that he had died over there ! belle : [ sobbing ] no , i never meant to hurt him . kate : oh , i 'm sure that will be of great comfort to him , belle . john : kate , i said that 's enough . marlena : listen , there 's no reason to attack her . kate : you 're right . i 'm sorry , and i am trying to get past this , and i think maybe if you had believed that philip was dead , i could understand you moving on with another man . but , no , you knew he was alive , and still , you pledged your love to shawn . and , belle , i think that 's unforgivable . belle : i 'm sorry . i really am . kate : it 's too late to be sorry . and if my son dies , i will never forgive you . [ sobbing ] i will never forgive you . roman : kate . kate . marlena : it 's okay . it 's okay . belle : no , it is n't . she 's right . i caused all of this . and if either of them die , there will be no one to blame but me .

i 'm not even gon na talk to you about this anymore . lucas : i know what i 'm talking about , all right ? trust me . will : if you know so much , then how come you fell off the wagon ? lucas : that happened once . will : yeah , that 's because you do n't know -- that 's why . so act like a big deal all you want . you 're not telling me what to do , because i 'm never giving mia up . brady : i think maybe you were looking out for me today , mom . i miss you . i miss never getting to know you . i love you very much . stephanie : [ exhales deeply ] i know i 'll probably need to talk to someone -- i do n't know -- a professional or whatever -- but right now i am fine . philip : it must have been a constant nightmare . stephanie : look , a lot of terrible things happened , but one good thing did happen . you saved me , and right now that 's all that counts . e.j . : nicole , if anybody is jealous here , i 'm afraid it 's you , as you always have been when it comes to samantha . nicole : but you 're not jealous of rafe , huh ?

[ scene_break ] daniel : melanie ... trust me , please . i am happier than i have been in a very long time . i 've got a daughter ... who i love ... and tomorrow i am gon na have a new wife ... whom i adore . melanie : okay . daniel : okay ? melanie : okay . i just -- i really hope ... daniel : what ? melanie : that chloe does n't hurt you . daniel : she wo n't . it 's not gon na happen . philip : damn right . no way can chloe blow this . she just ca n't . [ scene_break ] chloe : i just do n't know what to do to stop carly . i mean , she 's so strong and -- and so confident , and daniel trusts her , and bo trusts her . vivian : oh , i know . she 's a formidable adversary , but she does have her weaknesses , her demons . chloe : like what ? vivian : well , for one thing , she has claustrophobia . just a little bit of stress , and , well , she does n't deal with that very well . chloe : you mean ... like the story about how you buried her alive ? vivian : oh , ancient history -- nobody cares about that . no , i was thinking about the time when i got her to take a specific elevator . she was trapped , and , well , it was just moments before she was dissolved into a puddle . chloe : so that 's what you think i should do -- just get her into an elevator ? vivian : ah , well , it 's a start . i assume you have your mobile with you . chloe : uh , yes , i do . vivian : okay . then i want you to put this number ... into your phone . chloe : whose number is it ? vivian : let 's just say it 's someone who will help you give carly exactly what she deserves .

[ scene_break ] chloe : you wo n't tell me whose number this is ? vivian : the man 's name is irrelevant . it 's probably an alias anyway . just think of him as a valuable contact . chloe : so he 's the one who 's gon na be helping me , not you . vivian : ahh . yes , but you see , i 'm still a partner , a silent one . chloe : okay . vivian : oh ... excellent . chloe : okay , so i 'm gon na call this man , and then what happens ? vivian : [ sighs ] your only job is to see that carly gets into the exact elevator at the exact time , and he will take care of the rest . chloe : so i get her into an elevator , and ... will you stop being so damn cryptic ? i 'm not stupid , vivian . i 'm gon na trick carly to get into some elevator , and then what ? how is that gon na keep her away from daniel ?

[ dramatic music ] jade : salem inn . i 'll have to get their room number from the guy at the desk . i 'll figure it out . she 'll thank me later . gabi : i 'm sorry , i should n't have said what i said . chad : no , that 's -- you can say whatever you want . we should be able to , um -- we should be able to talk to each other . gabi : i think we need to focus on getting the hell out of here and getting back to our kids . chad : i agree . this universe has a hell of a way of throwing us together , do n't it ? gabi : yeah , i think it 's because we can count on each other and because we 're pretty good at getting out of these bad situations together . like you said , we 're friends . chad : amen . ca n't screw that up . gabi : right , so let 's just get whatever happened out of our heads and try to find some food , food that is n't fish , actually . chad : but i caught the -- gabi : yeah , well ... chad : all right , fine . it 's time to hunt and gather . gabi : yeah . chad : well , i 'll lead the way . gabi : why ? chad : because dimeras were born to hunt and gather . gabi : what ? you ca n't even nuke a pizza . chad : not appropriate . paul : look , hope knows everything deimos did . that means the cops and your uncle victor do too . so try to stay calm and put deimos out of your mind . i mean , he 's gon na get what 's coming to him . sonny : but i do n't get to see it happen . paul : no , you 're here with me , and the sun is in the sky , and there 's clear water in the lagoon and fish in the sea . sonny : [ exhales ] you 're making it sound like it 's a vacation , paul . paul : okay , so it 's not a four - star hotel , but you can build us some sort of shelter . i mean , you did the renovations in the club , right ? sonny : i had tools , a hammer . i had nails . paul : there 's got to be tools in the plane . come on , think positive . sonny : you 're asking too much of me right now . paul : okay , look , the bottom line is this : we are not in any immediate danger . sonny : i know . it 's just i -- paul : and titan industries is still gon na be standing when we get back . sonny : i know that , paul , but i have a lot of plans , and i ca n't get home to put them in place . that 's the problem . paul : okay , so what happened to the guy who said , `` the hell with it , `` got on a plane , and flew to prague to help us hunt for stefano ? sonny : did that impress you ? paul : you flew in your own plane . i mean , that was really -- that was dashing or something . sonny : that was dashing ? what am i , pierce brosnan ? paul : yeah , maybe not pierce , but , uh ... no , i mean , look , that was really impressive . sonny : i did that because i did n't know what else to do . but i am not that guy anymore . paul : no , now you 're the guy who lives to run titan industries . sonny : here we go again . why is that a problem ? why ? titan is my legacy . it is my future . and i need to step up and make it work . paul : and what about us ? i thought that 's what you said you wanted to work . sonny : you know what i meant . paul : yeah , the sad part is , i do . and when we get back to salem , you 're gon na show your uncle victor and your dad and everyone else what a good ceo you can be . well , if that 's what matters most to you , i 'm really happy for you , but right now , uh , i 'm gon na go catch some fish . sonny : here , look . i got you a present when you were out playing secret agent man . paul : vinyl . are you kidding me ? sonny : look what song it is . paul : this is the song they played tonight . oh , my god , i 've been looking everywhere for this . sonny : what 's wrong ? paul : are you sure ? sonny : i 've never been more sure of anything in my entire life . rafe : [ sighs ] gabi told lucas and me that she would call as soon as she landed , and that should have been hours ago . not to mention the fact that she promised arianna she 'd be back , and so now she 's asking questions that lucas does n't know how to answer . hope : all right , you know , let 's just look into this . chad was on that flight . i wonder if abigail 's heard from him . rafe : no , do n't . do not call abigail , okay ? she 's been through enough already , please . hope : all right , good point . you know , when deimos and i were sitting on the plane waiting to take off , i was texting back and forth with jj and lani , and they seemed , uh , to believe they would be leaving on schedule . do you think -- maybe -- maybe they decided to take a side trip . rafe : no , no , no , no , no , she would not have done that without checking with me . well , there 's that face . i know that face . now you 're worried too . hope : just hold on , okay ? i 'm gon na call victor . rafe : okay . hope : it 's his company jet they were on anyway . rafe : good . hope : maybe he -- let 's just go . maybe he can tell us something . let 's head over there , all right ? victor : so what do you have to say for yourself ? deimos : that you have no proof that i had anything to do with xander or with what he did to brady and nicole , and the thought that you would believe that i would do something like that to a member of this family pisses me off beyond words . victor : stop with the righteous indignation . hope already gave me a rundown of the case against you . deimos : case ? what case ? and the woman hates my guts . victor : she would n't lie to me . i told you you could do whatever you wanted with nicole , but you were to leave brady alone . deimos : yeah , if i left brady alone , he 'd be dead right now . he would be bleeding out in that cabin in canada if i did n't save his life . i 'm the one that put him on a flight back here so he could get the treatment he needed and be around the family who loves him . victor : are you forgetting that sonny had something to do with that rescue too , or did we just conveniently edit him out so you can seem more the hero ? deimos : no , no , no , believe me , i try to think of sonny as little as possible . [ sighs ] i 'd be on a beach right now with nicole if sonny and that pathetic posse of his did n't show up . victor : you 're the only one that paints that picture . everyone else says you were the mastermind behind that kidnapping , and you did it all to get possession of a woman who hates your guts . even nicole has got standards . deimos : mastermind , huh ? you make me sound like some comic book super villain . victor : you said you wanted a family . you said you wanted peace . deimos : yes , i did , and i thought we had . victor : when you were hurting people that i love and respect ? i can no longer abide by our truce . deimos : justin told me that the board removed me from titan and that you were behind it . i did n't want to believe it , but now i know it 's true . victor : believe it . you abused your power , and you abused my family , and i stood by and let it happen . well , not anymore . more `` doing chores for mom `` per roll deimos : you ca n't just write me off like i 'm some random employee . i 'm your brother , damn it ! victor : you seemed to have forgotten that when you were waging war against my family . deimos : they waged war against me ! victor : they did it first ? what , are you on a playground ? deimos : brady turned nicole against me . victor : if you ca n't see that you did this all by yourself to yourself , then you are delusional . deimos : and what about sonny , huh , sneaking around behind my back ? him and that paul , those two little -- victor : if you 're thinking of the right gay slur , you can stop it right now . maybe i ca n't throw you out of this house , but i have people who can . you know what rankles you about sonny ? he was right about you from the get - go , and he never changed his mind . good critical thinking . when he gets back from greece , he 's gon na be rewarded by the board . they 're going to make him the new ceo of titan industries . deimos : [ laughing ] i 'm sorry . well , at least there 's some comic relief in this situation , huh ? no , 'cause , mark my words , sonny boy is gon na crash and burn . [ door clicks open and shut ] deimos : oh , great ! what , what , what do you want ? hope : we 're here on official business . victor : what is it now ? deimos : oh , i 'm sure they 're here to level more accusations against me . hope : sonny and the others were due back from greece hours ago . rafe : the plane never arrived , and salem airport says they never filed a flight plan . hope : since it 's titan 's plane , we 're hoping that possibly you could tell us there was a change of plans , that they landed somewhere different . victor : i wish i could , but i ca n't . crash and burn , you said ? paul : [ sighs ] sonny : you gon na clean those yourself ? paul : well , we ca n't eat them like this . sonny : how do you know so much about fishing ? paul : my grandfather taught me when i was a kid . [ clears throat ] sonny : well , that explains how you know about fishing . how do you know so much about me ? look , i 'm sorry . i do n't want you to think that all i care about is titan . but deimos went after the people that i love and the business that my uncle built from the ground up . it is driving me crazy that i ca n't get home and fix what he did . paul : well , you 'll get there , and you 'll do that . but right now , you are stuck on this island , and you can either be mad and stomp around , or you could throw yourself into making the best of it . and who knows ? you might find out something new about yourself . maybe , uh -- i do n't know -- something that 'll make you a even better ceo . sonny : i 'd settle for it making me a better partner . i mean , you know , if you 're still interested . paul : [ laughs ] do n't be stupid . [ laughs ] chad : ah , okay . gabi : okay , you can put me down now . chad : yeah . you good ? gabi : okay , let me try to put some weight on it . hold on . ah ! okay , no , i ca n't . chad : okay , come on . gabi : no , no , no , let me just sit down . chad : there you go . gabi : i ca n't believe i twisted the same ankle again . chad : yeah , well , you should n't have been climbing that tree . gabi : oh , well , i got the peaches , did n't i ? that 's where they were hanging . chad : you fell on the peaches . there 's a big difference . gabi : well , there was enough for lunch . you 're not hungry , are you ? chad : fair . gabi : listen , we need to make a ladder or something because there 's olive trees there . chad : what , a ladder ? you ca n't even climb with one good ankle . gabi : no , but you can climb . chad : i 'm not climbing . gabi : it 's swelling up right now . chad : okay , okay , okay , okay . i was a boy scout , so ... here we go . just tie these two . all right . gabi : be careful . chad : i know . gabi : okay . chad : there we go . it 's okay . all right , you all right ? gabi : yeah , it 's fine . chad : there you go . how 's that ? let me just ... gabi : you do n't -- it 's okay , you do n't have to take care of me . i can do it . chad : it 's fine . it 's my fault we 're in this situation to begin with . gabi : what ? you did n't sneak onto sonny 's plane . i did that . i 'm the dum - dum . chad : no . you know what ? i 'm starting to think that there may be something to that curse after all . this is n't very tight . gabi : aah ! chad : ah , it 's -- you 're fine . there , is that better ? gabi : yeah . chad : yeah ? gabi : oh . eli : hi . chad : hi . eli : what happened to you ? gabi : uh , twisted my ankle again . chad : did you , uh -- how 's the , uh -- how 's the satellite phone going ? eli : uh , listen , i tried everything i could think of . it got jarred pretty badly when we landed . gabi : so -- so hold on . there 's -- there 's no way for us to communicate with the outside world anymore ? eli : unless i have some kind of inspiration on how to fix it . gabi : what ? i was really hoping you 'd get that phone working . eli : yeah , me too , but hey , for now , we just have to count on the outside world to come looking for us . gabi : here ? what are you talking about ? i mean , this is a tiny island . when someone finds us , we 're all gon na be dead ! chad . you know how your hair tangles the minute you wash it ? claire : i know this is where i left it . where did it go ? [ laughs nervously ] [ sighs ] [ lock beeps and clicks ] [ dramatic music ] jade : perfect . they 'll never see it . once i turn it on from the app on my phone , all claire 's problems will be over . claire : [ laughs ] you 're a genius . jade : you saw it and you 're not mad at me ? theo : no , never . claire : it 's the number one trending channel everywhere . theo : i 'm a star . claire : jade , my fans can not get enough of it . nobody can . i 'm gon na have my own reality show . i 'm gon na design my own lingerie line . really , i ca n't believe this . this morning , i was nothing . theo : i know , and now we 're celebrities . claire : [ laughs ] jade , i am never , ever gon na forget what you did for me , okay ? if i get rich and famous , you 're gon na get rich and famous . jade : are you serious ? claire : jade , you 're my best friend now . paul : i 'm gon na get these fish cleaned . sonny : okay , i 'll find something to cook them in . paul : sounds fair . hey , if you ca n't rig something up , see if you ca n't find any lemons , 'cause i 'm gon na marinate the fish in them , and that 'll cook them too . sonny : how do you know that ? paul : i 'm half asian . sonny : so what ? i 'm half greek . i do n't know squat about cooking fish . paul : so cook us some greek side dishes . sonny : you want me to cook us some side dishes ? paul : yeah , rice goes good with fish -- and chips . fish and chips . sonny : chips ? yeah , yeah , i 'll just grab the deep fryer i put in my carry - on . yeah . paul : [ laughs ] [ insect buzzing ] paul : oh ! [ winces ] man , that sucker meant business . chad : i 'm thinking we should try to stay positive . gabi : i just ca n't believe how much i was counting on that phone working . i mean , how is anybody gon na know where we are ? chad : well , i 'm sure victor is on top of it . he 's probably looking for us . eli : with help from the faa . chad : and andré . eli : right , so if you 're worried about anyone pinpointing that exact location , there 's a black box on the jet that 's sending out a signal . gabi : there is ? eli : yeah . the faa says that any jet that seats ten passengers has to have one , and i have n't given up on this phone . chad : see ? did you hear that ? yeah , you think you can calm down ? gabi : no , i ca n't calm down . i ca n't calm down because i do n't know when i 'm gon na see arianna . i do n't know where i 'm gon na sleep . i do n't know when i 'm gon na get my next meal , okay ? so i 'm not gon na calm down until i know i 'm getting off this island alive . chad : are you done ? gabi : yes . chad : can you trust me ? gabi : yeah . chad : yeah ? gabi : yeah . chad : okay . i 'm gon na go see if i can find where you threw those fish , maybe fall on some peaches , come up with a little feast for us tonight . yeah ? that 's what i 'm talking about . okay . take care of that ankle . wish me luck on both of mine . uh , would you keep an eye on her ? okay , good talk . [ soft music ] eli : you were n't wrong . gabi : about getting off the island ? eli : no , we 'll be fine . i was talking about chad . it 's pretty clear how you two feel about each other . if there 's any progress . rafe : that did n't sound good . victor : no , it is n't . the plane that sonny was piloting disappeared from the radar about an hour and a half out of athens . hope : did he tell air traffic control there was a problem with the plane ? victor : i do n't know , but i will . the faa is on it , and so are my people . i will know exactly what happened . deimos : if you think i had anything to do with this , you 're dead wrong . rafe : my sister was on that damn plane . you better not have had anything to do with this . deimos : she had me in handcuffs , all right ? hope : rafe , rafe , stop ! deimos : i was in handcuffs when the plane took off . hope : go outside and get some air , please . rafe : oh , my god . deimos : wow , tough break , huh , victor ? seems like that bright , new shining star of titan may never sit behind that big oak desk after all , huh ? victor : get out of here . deimos : you got it . hope : i think rafe is right . did deimos do something to that plane , victor ? victor : if he could put xander onto brady , he 's capable of anything . i should never have given him a second chance . ah , it 's all over now . hope : what does that mean ? victor : i told him he 's out of the business . he 's out of this house . maybe i should n't have handled it that way . maybe i should have kept him in the dark . hope : it would have made any difference . if he put this in motion , it was done before i took him into custody . victor : well , sonny was right . deimos is nothing but a cancer on this house . the only way to deal with a malignant growth is to cut it out . chad : gabi , i 'm really sorry . you deserve better than this . gabi : yeah , this hurts . ca n't deny that . but , you know , us talking about it does n't help . chad : if you ever need anything , you know i 'm -- gabi : no , i 'm on my own now . like you said , it 's time to say good - bye . [ soft dramatic music ] chad : good - bye . gabi : chad and i ca n't be together , eli . eli : [ scoffs ] gabi , you were open and honest with me about your feelings for chad , and it 's clear that those feelings have n't subsided in the least . gabi : i was open and honest about my feelings , and then you cut me loose . eli : because i can see the writing on the wall . gabi : what are you talking about ? eli : look , i thought that once chad and abigail 's marriage was over , it 'd just be a matter of time before you two hooked up again . gabi : chad and i agree that abigail wanting this divorce , it changes nothing . we ca n't be together , okay ? so what we need to focus on is living our own lives . eli : okay , maybe that 's what you think the right thing to do is , but is that what you want ? gabi : i 'm sorry , i 'm confused . are you trying to push chad and me together ? eli : gabi , i like you . gabi : really ? eli : i like you a lot , and i would fight for you if i thought i had a shot , but every time i see you and chad together , i know that i do n't . gabi : chad and i have history , okay ? that 's what you 're picking up on . eli : yeah , okay , well , you keep telling yourself that , i guess . him too . but what you two feel is in no way a part of the past .

[ melancholy music ] sarah : of course i know that xander was n't trying to hurt me when he switched the babies , but ... i ca n't forgive the pain that he and victor have caused , and i want them to pay . in fact , it 's all i think about : making xander pay , making victor pay . marlena : what about the other part ? sarah : what other part ? marlena : grief of losing your child . sarah : i do n't think i 'll ever get over that . marlena : you won't . what you have to do is learn to live with it , and the way that you 're going about it , trying to turn your pain into anger , trying to blame other people for your loss -- that is n't going to work . you wo n't get satisfaction that way . what you 're looking for is some kind of peace of mind . sarah : that just -- it just seems so far out of reach . marlena : i know it does . hey . you will find love again . you might even have another child . you just need to focus on what 's right in your life . sarah : how do i do that ? marlena : well , you do it by admitting what is real . sarah : do you mean admitting that i still love xander ? marlena : i do n't know . it 's all about how you feel . sarah : are you saying that i should forgive him ? marlena : no , i 'm not saying that . i think forgiveness is entirely your decision . back off ! sarah : i do n't know what i want . marlena : you do n't have to decide right now . you can think about it . we can talk about it , if that helps you at all .

[ smooches , gasps playfully ] that 's such a pretty picture , allie . hi , honey . lucas : hey , not as pretty as you . chloe : aw . lucas : remind me to not let this one start dating until she 's at least 30 , all right ? chloe : ah , that ought to go over well . lucas : you know what ? maybe you can talk to him . chloe : talk to ... lucas : talk to will . chloe : what about ? lucas : well , he 's got a thing for this girl . chloe : really ? what ? someone from school ? lucas : yeah , yeah , but the problem is , she just got out of rehab . chloe : oh . lucas : right . and when i warned him , when i tried to tell him that i did n't think it was a good idea that he hung out with her , i did n't want him to see her , he kind of lost it . chloe : wait , y - you told him that ? that he ca n't see this girl ? lucas : yeah . yeah , i did . you bet i did . chloe : lucas , oh , my god . lucas : what ? what 's the matter with that ? chloe : you ca n't do that . if you tell a teenager one thing , it 's pretty much guaranteed that they 're gon na do just the opposite . lucas : right . reverse psychology . my mom used that on me all the time in high school . works like a charm . you 're so smart . i 'll just tell him i changed my mind -- that , not only do i want him to date this woman , i want him to marry her and have a lot of kids with her and be happy with a white picket fence . chloe : [ laughs ] exactly . he 'll be so turned off , he 'll break up with her immediately . `` ew , my dad really likes my girlfriend . that 's so gross . `` lucas : how do you do it ? so smart . chloe : mm , i know . lucas : what would i do without you ? rafe : so , whenever someone does n't agree with you , they 're deluded , right ? arianna : usually . rafe : because your life is so damn perfect . arianna : because i have good instincts about people -- women especially . and from the minute i laid eyes on sami brady -- rafe : all right , stop . all right , just stop . the conversation that we are having is over . arianna : fine . you want to mess up your life ? go for it . i 'm not gon na say another word . rafe : good . great seeing you , as always . nicole : [ clears throat ] so , you traded in your cable - guy disguise for a hard hat . [ clears throat ] that was a joke . uh , actually ... i think it 's admirable ... what you did ? and now you got yourself a job to support your new daughter . rafe : your approval means the world to me . nicole : i mean it . family should be a priority . and speaking of family , what just happened with your sister ? let me guess . she does n't approve of the adoption ... which is a shame . because children are such a blessing . and , uh , sami 's baby is lucky ... that a guy like you wants to be her daddy . sami : voicemail . rafe , it 's sami . just please call me when you get this , okay ? [ sighs ] e.j . : he probably just turns it off at work . sami : yeah , yeah , i 'm sure you 're right . e.j . : i was , uh , i was thinking earlier . you remember when johnny had that -- that funny rash . you thought it was a flesh - eating virus .

[ sighs ] look , i think this adoption is terrific for grace . she needs a loving family with both parents , and , like i said , i 'm sure you will make a wonderful dad . rafe : [ chuckles ] nicole : what ? rafe : oh , no . it 's just , um ... you know , when i worked for the feds , i heard a lot of creative storytelling , but i got to tell you -- that 's really good . specific . nicole : well , i 'm sorry you feel that way , but believe it or not , rafe , i hope that everything works out for you and your new family . rafe : damn it . i forgot to charge it last night . it 's dead . lucas : [ clears throat ] sorry i took so long . chloe : hey , no problem . where 's allie ? lucas : she 's in the back . grandma caroline 's making pie , so she wanted to watch . chloe : mmm . actually , um , i 'm glad that we have this time alone . lucas : really ? me too . maybe we can have some dinner , finally , just the two of us . chloe : yeah , um , i hope this is n't the last time . lucas : what ? why would you say that ? chloe : lucas , um , i need to tell you something . will : so , large , two toppings , with an order of breadsticks ? what do you think -- sausage and pepperoni ? mia : sounds great . [ cellphone rings ] will : um ... [ sighs ] there 's a message from my mom . i must have had my ringer off . [ sighs ] mia : [ chuckles softly ] will , what 's wrong ? will : she 's at the hospital . grace is really sick . daniel : we managed to stop the seizures . sami : okay . so , do you know what caused them ? i mean , why they happened ? daniel : well , this could be what we call fibral seizures . it 's quite common in most infants and small children , but the good news is that they 're harmless . sami : what ? that 's great news . oh , my god . that 's such a relief . so , she 's okay ? i can take her home ? daniel : well , because her seizures lasted longer than we expected , we 'd just like to run some tests -- e.e.g . , do some blood work . sami : blood work ? daniel : yeah . well , just to make sure we got the right diagnosis , okay ? or make sure there was n't anything serious , like an infection , or even something inherited from her biological family . roman : you become a kiriakis , all bets are off . just ask yourself -- is it worth it ? stefano : stephanie is not going to say anything because we will make sure of that . daniel : i am gon na need you to fight , little grace . you need to fight like hell . lucas : you 're ready to face reality is what you 're saying . sami : i do n't have a choice . | will tells lucas that he refuses to stop seeing mia . will later asks maggie if she knows of anywhere mia can stay , and maggie asks mia to move in with her . mia agrees . she admits to will that she overheard him and his dad talking about her , and that she wishes lucas did n't hate her . will tries to reassure her , saying that he does n't care what anyone else thinks , and that he wont ever change his mind about how he feels about her . sami rushes grace to the hospital when she starts having seizures . she tries to call both rafe and will , but their phones are off . ej , who has made up with nicole by agreeing to stay out of sami 's life , is at the hospital to see stefano . he ends up comforting sami and assuring her grace will be fine . later , daniel tells sami that grace has improved , but they will need to run blood work on her to make sure her problems do n't stem from an inherited disease from her biological parents . sami begins to panic . arianna warns rafe about sami . rafe insists his and sami 's relationship is nothing like what happened with him and some woman named heidi . arianna ends up storming off , saying he is going to ruin his life . nicole overhears and tries to assure rafe that she thinks he made the right decision . rafe is suspicious of her approval . he later learns that his phone has died . chloe confides in nicole that she ca n't get daniel off of her mind . daniel is still fantasizing about chloe , too . chloe finally decides , after talking to maggie , that she will tell lucas the truth about her affair . |

[ cries ] ej : well , gabi , nick -- nick played cat and mouse with the police . he was willing to let somebody else take responsibility for his crime . you confessed . and we can argue that nick really provoked you . he only got four years for what he did . gabi : i did n't shoot him because i hated him ... or because he tried to rape me . i just needed to make sure ... that my daughter was gon na be around people who loved her . [ cries ] my little girl ... i 'm never gon na see her again . [ sobbing ] [ both sighing ] theresa : i could just stay in this room all day and never leave . brady : i love that idea . let 's just stay here . let 's do another line , though . theresa : hmm . brady : want to do another one ? theresa : [ laughs ] you just have one good idea after the next . brady : thank you . i love good ideas . nicole : i never meant for any of that to happen . all i ever wanted was to love you . eric : what you did ... what you did to me had nothing to do with love . and it 's time that you saw that too . nicole : you 're wrong . what we have is love . i love you , and i know you still love me . i can prove it . come with me , and i will prove what we have is real . eric : not anymore , nicole . not anymore . nicole : all right , look , you -- you know what i did now . i kept evidence from you that would have let you be a priest again . eric : you deliberately kept it from me ! nicole : but you do n't understand why . there 's something i need to show you . eric : it 's too late . nicole : just -- please , eric , just give me one more chance . just do this one last thing for me . open your heart and hear what i have to say , and then you can do whatever you want , and i 'll accept it , whatever it is . rafe : gabi was arrested ? [ scoffs ] this does n't make any sense . sami : uh , rafe , she shot nick . jordan : rafe ... rafe : oh , no , no , no . hell , no . no . she is not gon na be railroaded into this on some trumped - up charges -- not my sister . sami : look , she confessed . marlena : wow . gabi ... gabi shot nick . hope : ej 's with her now . he 's acting as her attorney . marlena : and you 're telling me this why ? hope : i thought maybe you could talk to her , do an unofficial preliminary psych exam . i know . i 'm supposed to be impartial , but ... she needs help . marlena : okay . i 'll talk to her . hope : thank you . marlena : you know ... i spoke to gabi yesterday at -- at the baby 's first birthday party . she tried very hard to convince me that everything was going to be just fine ... that nick just did n't see any way that they could all get along , any way they could all be a family for the baby . hope : and she was so desperate to protect that family that she put three bullets in nick . ej : gabi , you are always going to be a part of arianna 's life . you have parental rights , and i can tell you william is not going to do anything to take those rights away from you . and if we do end up with a custodial sentence , then i will make sure the facility is somewhere near to salem ... and that you have access to email . gabi : arianna does n't read or write . i -- i ca n't hold my child through email . ej : i know . and i have to tell you that they will monitor emails that you 'll receive , but it does mean that sonny and william will be able to send you videos and photographs of your daughter , so ... she will grow up knowing who her mother is . gabi : [ crying ] right . ej : gabriella , we will mount a vigorous defense and do everything we can to keep your sentence to a minimum . okay ? but there is one thing that i do have to ask you . in your confession ... you said to hope nick was using something to blackmail you . gabi : yes , i told -- i told hope that nick knew i had hired that man who kidnapped melanie , but i did n't know that he was gon na do that . ej : okay . that 's all you 're going to say ? you 're not going to tell anybody anything ? gabi : what you want to know is whether or not i 'm gon na tell her that kate and sami helped me throw nick into the river . ej : yes . [ cell phone vibrating ] brady : [ sniffs ] mm . who is it ? [ both chuckle ] theresa : work again . brady : work -- tell them i 'm having a personal day . no , no , no , no -- personal week -- make it a month . what the hell ? theresa : sounds good to me . you know we 're gon na have to restock , though , because you are a man of many appetites . brady : oh , you have no idea . theresa : yeah ? brady : let 's go again . abigail : after you refused to do the photo shoot , i snapped a picture of you with my camera phone , and then i just , uh -- well , i photoshopped you and gabi together . wow . you really are camera shy , are n't you ? ben : i do n't like having my picture taken . abigail : okay , well , it 's just one picture , and -- and , you know , no one 's even seen it , so ... ben : hey , that was n't , like , a neurotic reaction or anything . i 'm sorry . abigail : that 's okay . ben : you are pretty good at editing , though , are n't you ? abigail : okay , so does this mean that you 're not mad ? ben : no , no , i 'm just -- you know , this kind of thing , all these people going crazy with their camera phones ... abigail : no , i - i totally get it . people snapping pictures of every minute of their life , i -- ben : i 'm just not into it . abigail : right . [ cell phone ringing ] abigail : oh , you know , i have to -- i have to get this . it 's a work thing . excuse me . ben : yeah , yeah . sami : [ sighs ] rafe , i 'm sorry . you know , we 've all been trying to reach you -- hope , me , sonny , will . we 've all left messages and tried to call you . your phone 's been off . jordan : rafe , i am so sorry about gabi . rafe : i need to get to the station . sami : yeah . rafe : i need to see her . sami : actually , we tried calling you too . we 've been trying to reach rafe for hours . jordan : we both had the day off , so ... sami : gabi 's in a lot of trouble . she needed to have her brother there . jordan : w - wait a minute . are you blaming me for this ? ej : well , i suppose you must think that my offering to help is somewhat self- serving , and i suppose to a certain degree , it is . you do understand what could happen to kate and samantha if -- gabi : i 'm not gon na say anything . they were trying to help me . they just did n't want to see arianna 's mother go to prison . ej : so you 're not going to tell anybody ? gabi : [ sighs ] no . but that guy -- nick 's friend percy might say something . ej : mr. ruggles -- no , mr. ruggles left for england before nick was shot . gabi : oh , okay . ej : he 's not coming back . gabi : what about the pictures that nick had ? he had pictures . ej : any evidence that nicholas may have had pertaining that evening ... no longer exists . gabi : okay . then kate and sami should be fine ... or at least i hope . they were trying help me , my baby . i do n't ever want to hurt them . i keep -- i keep thinking about what would have happened if i just said the truth from the beginning about what i did to melanie . i mean , i was so scared . [ cries ] i did n't want to go to prison . and now after so many people are hurt and nick is dead , i 'm still going there anyway . [ knock at door ] ej : yes ? hope : i was thinking it might help for marlena to talk to gabi . ej : off the record ? hope : of course . marlena : i 'm here as a doctor . anything she says would be in complete confidence . ej : gabriella , i think this might be a good idea . the whole conversation will be off the record . so you do n't have to worry about being honest , okay ? marlena : gabi ... you do n't have to talk to me if you do n't want to . gabi : i do . i do . eric : what is it ? what is it that you want to show me ? nicole : that 's the photo you took ... of your first sunrise in africa . you gave me that photo to thank me for helping you through what happened there . no priest or therapist could do that . and the only reason i could is because we had this connection . we still do . eric : nicole ... nicole : you gave me this ring because you loved me , and you knew i loved you , and i still do . now , you see , it 's true . now that the secret -- this ... this ugly secret is out ... i think i love you more than i ever did before . eric ... please say something . eric : so that 's the proof of our love ... a photo ... a ring -- a ring that i gave you when you were lying to me , is that it ? nicole : no . there 's one more thing . that lie , that secret -- i would have taken it to the grave with me , and i know it 's a terrible thing , but i would have carried it around for the rest of my life . ca n't you see ? that 's a sign of how much i really love you . eric : yes . yes , i can . eric : there 's something that i need to know . nicole : anything . eric : when you finally knew the truth ... and you chose not to tell me and when you kept it from me all those months ... what were you thinking ? how were you feeling ? nicole : i felt like hell . i felt like i was being torn apart . you have no idea how many times -- times when i was alone , when i was with you that i came so close to telling you . and there is nothing i want more in this world than to share my life with you . and believe it or not , i wanted to share this with you -- not just what i knew , but what i did . eric : so , if you had n't figured it out ... if daniel had n't found those files and ... you would have gone through your whole life tormented by what you did to me ? nicole : yes . eric : then god has done you a great service . that torment is finally over . nicole : oh , eric . eric : do n't . just do n't . [ both sighing ] theresa : [ giggles ] brady : all right . dear god . theresa : hey , you know what ? brady : what ? theresa : i can only survive on junk food for so long , so let 's go out , and let 's get some chili cheese fries . brady : [ laughs ] i could use some health food , yeah . that 's a great idea . theresa : seriously . let 's take a shower , and then let 's go out , and then we 'll come back and ... we 'll pick up right where we left off . brady : all right . you shower first . go . go . theresa : okay . or we could shower together ... conserve water . brady : tempting . go on , get out of here . theresa : [ giggles ] brady : [ sighs ] [ sniffs ] do n't be long . theresa : [ giggles ] brady : [ sniffs , sighs ] [ shower running ] brady : [ sniffs ] [ sighs ] [ sighs ] jordan : do you mind telling me what you have against me ? sami : well , i just think it was a really big mistake . you know , rafe is a cop , and i think you should n't have talked him into turning his phone off with everything that 's going on . jordan : you think i talked him into turning his phone off ? you obviously do n't know him very well . sami : [ scoffs ] actually , i was married to him , and i 've known him a lot longer than you have . you obviously have no idea how important it is to him to be a good brother . jordan : i do . and i also know that you 're very upset , and now is not the time or the place to talk . you have a lot more to worry about than me . sami : she 's right about that . abigail : sorry about that . so , uh , where 's sonny ? he 's usually here this time of day . ben : i got a message . he said he could n't come in , but he did n't say why . abigail : hmm . maybe he just needs some downtime , you know ? he , will , and gabi -- it 's been so rough for them lately . ben : you think things will ease up when they find out who did it ? abigail : i do n't know . nick was trying to point at someone that night in the square , remember ? so , whoever did it , it could be someone that we all know . ben : yeah , i know . it 's pretty awful . abigail : i know that the police told you not to leave town , but have you heard anything else about the case at all ? ben : no . abigail : i wonder what 's going on . ej : thank you for bringing in marlena . you know , i have to say , i really feel there are some mitigating circumstances here that could reduce gabriella 's sentence . hope : it 's just an unofficial preliminary -- rafe : where is she ? where is my sister ? what the hell do you think you 're doing ? hope : rafe , we 've been trying to reach you . rafe : where is she ? hope : she 's talking to marlena . rafe : marlena ? what are you doing here ? ej : i 'm acting as gabriella 's attorney . rafe : you ? so you 're the one who talked her into this ? what the hell are you doing to my sister ? gabi : for me , with men , it always felt like i was asking them to give me more than they were willing to give ... except nick . he loved me as much as i loved him . i always felt like i was the center of his universe . i felt safe and protected . but then ... marlena : then what ? gabi : then i got pregnant with will 's baby , and ... everything changed . i just ... i just felt like he was trying to control every day of my life . and then arianna was born , and ... that was the day that he told me about all the horrible things that had happened to him in prison and that he was sorry for hurting me , and i thought he had changed . marlena : but he had n't . gabi : no . he went behind my back , and he got that modeling contract for me in new york , but that 's because he wanted to take me and my baby away from everyone who loved us . but then i found out the truth , and i told him i would n't go with him . and he snapped . marlena : what do you mean `` he snapped `` ? gabi : [ whimpers ] sami : look , you ca n't tell anyone -- not one word , not ever . i ca n't -- i ca n't -- i ca n't tell you this . i ca n't tell you this . marlena : gabi , the police can not monitor this room . and a psychiatrist -- whatever you tell me is in complete confidence . whatever you tell me will stay between us . okay ? gabi : okay . okay . ben : i have a confession to make . abigail : uh - oh . ben : when i heard you and gabi talking about your old modeling days , i could n't stop myself . abigail : from what ? ben : i found your photos online . abigail : no , you did n't . oh , my god . that 's so embarrassing . ben : no , no , no , no . you were beautiful . true , true , not as beautiful as you are now . abigail : wow . ben : that would n't be possible . hope : hold on . okay , listen , you need to calm down . ej was already here when gabi came in , of her own volition , to confess . ej volunteered to represent her . if gabi had it her way , she would n't even have representation . he changed her mind . rafe : hope , this is wrong . there is no way that gabi could have done this . you know that . hope : look , rafe -- rafe : if she is confessing , it 's only because of him or someone else that has put her up to this . hope : i know this is rough -- would you two excuse us and wait outside ? ej : yes . sami : oh , yeah . hope : rafe ... sami : hey , hey , did gabi say anything about ... anything ? ej : oh , no . it 's fine . she knows it 's not in her best interest to mention anything about what happened to nick down by river . gabi : and then when i hit him in the head with a rock ... i thought i had killed him , and as soon as i got on my feet , kate came in . marlena : kate ? gabi : [ sobbing ] yeah , she 'd heard us fighting in the square , and she followed us , and that 's when i saw sami . hope : you need to listen to me . rafe , i 'm telling you the truth . even if gabi had n't come in and confessed , the case was already made against her . she had the murder weapon in arianna 's diaper bag the night nick was shot . rafe : what ? hope : in her initial statement , she said she went from the horton square directly to the hospital after nick collapsed , but look at this . these are photos of gabi taken by the hospital security camera getting off the elevator without the diaper bag . i had forensics check the bag . they found powder residue that matched the gun that killed nick . she did it , rafe . i wish to god she had n't , but she did . she killed nick . nicole : but you just said ... eric : that your conscience is clear now . nicole : i do n't want absolution . i want you . i know that you 're angry right now , eric , and i know this will take a long time for you to get over , but you just showed compassion and understanding of why i did what i did . ca n't we please -- ca n't we just build on that ? do n't just stand there ! ca n't you just say something ? eric : i can ! one final thing . theresa : you know , there 's a tomato in here . that 's healthy , is n't it ? hmm ? brady : you know , theresa , i do n't think , um ... theresa : look , no , before you tell me what you think , let me just tell you what i know , brady . you 're coming down , okay ? you just need a little bump . why do n't you go to the little boys ' room and powder your nose ? hmm ? brady : no , i do n't -- i do n't think that 's -- [ chuckles wryly ] you know what ? i think a little bump is exactly what i need . there you are . all right . theresa : oh , have a seat , why do n't you ? john : you and i need to have a little talk about my son . jordan : hey , guys . abigail : oh , hey . ben : the usual ? jordan : thanks . abigail : hey , how 's it going ? jordan : fine . fine . abigail : oh , that 's good . jordan : well , thank you . abigail : oh , okay . well , i think i 'm gon na ... [ clears throat ] go take care of my work thing . ben : another modeling gig ? abigail : i 'm happy to get back in front of the camera as long as you join me . ben : mm . do n't hold your breath . abigail : i 'll see you in the pictures , darling . [ both chuckle ] ben : okay , what is it ? what 's wrong ? marlena : sami was there ? gabi : yeah , kate texted her . and sami was calling the police , but kate told her that we had been arguing in the square and that i did n't know that he 'd set up the modeling contract in new york and that i told him i would n't go , and then he -- he -- marlena : honey , take a breath . just take a breath . gabi : then sami said that no one would believe it was self - defense , and she checked his neck for a pulse , and she said he was dead . and then kate said we had to get rid of the body . [ sobbing ] marlena : go on . gabi : so we dragged his body to the river . [ sobbing ] and then when we dropped him in , his eyes opened , and he was grabbing sami 's arm , and we were all screaming , and then sami pulled away . he went under really fast , and it was so cold , and we just thought -- we just thought that he -- marlena : so you all thought he was dead . gabi : but he was n't . we just -- we thought wrong . [ cries ] eric : that evidence that would clear me -- do you still have it ? nicole : no . eric : god . nicole : daniel has it . eric : he would n't even trust you with it ? nicole : what are you doing ? where are you going ? eric : i 'm leaving . i 'm leaving you . nicole : you ca n't walk out . you barely said anything . eric : you did n't say anything for months . you let the people , my church believe the lies that kristen said about me . nicole : no . i tried to prove that kristen was lying . i did -- eric : and when you were able to prove it , you did nothing . i know how hard you fought to find the truth , to give me a chance to search my soul , to make my own decision , but then you took that chance away from me . you did n't give me a choice ... a choice that was mine to make , not yours . john : so you and brady have reduced yourself to drinking in the middle of a workday , huh ? theresa : hmm , well , it 's 5 : 00 somewhere . well , apparently not where you 're sitting . anyway , i do n't see how it 's any of your business . john : you 're wrong . my son will always be my business . gabi : you know , when i pulled the trigger ... it was like i was n't even there . i shot him in the back , and he turned around . well , maybe the bullet did that . i just kept firing , but for a second ... he saw me . he knew that it was me . i think it was better that he knew it was me . and then when we came into the square , it was like the christening all over again . and i just was thinking ... he just wo n't die . [ cries ] [ sniffles ] but then he did . and it was better ... because it was quiet ... and people could love each other again . kate ... loves will . sami loves the baby . i even love sonny . we could all love each other again and be this awesome family ... and the baby . nick just did n't know how to love like that . he could n't . he just did n't know how . [ knock at door ] gabi : [ sobbing ] ben : so it was gabi who killed nick ? jordan : she 's been arrested . sami said she confessed , but ... ben : [ sighs ] wow . abigail is going to freak out . jordan : i know how close they are , but i just did n't feel like it was my place to tell her . ej : abigail . abigail : hi . you scared me . ej : sorry . i did n't mean to ... the same way that i did not mean to the other day either . i just had to make sure you were n't gon na say something that would hurt a lot of people . abigail : right . you know what , ej ? i 've heard enough . ej : nick 's murder 's been solved . i just thought you 'd might like to know . hope : so ... what was your impression ? marlena : gabi 's been under incredible stress for a long time . nick had her convinced she was hopeless and helpless , and that 's a very deadly combination . hope : are you saying nick made her do it ? marlena : i 'm saying that she felt she had no choice . hope : you 're not gon na say she 's insane ? marlena : you know , everybody has heard gabi say that she knew what she did was wrong when she did it ... just that there were mitigating circumstances . any psychiatrist that interviews her and assesses her will come to the same conclusion and most likely testify to it . hope : thanks for talking to her . marlena : sure . sami : terrible for gabi . i was just wanting to help her so badly ... what ? i was just trying to help her . mom , what did gabi say to you exactly ? brady : hey , why do n't you get lost ? john : because i 'm not about to stand on the sideline and watch this happen to you . brady : nobody asked you to watch . did you ask him to watch ? i did n't ask him to watch . so i do n't know what 's going on . i 'll tell you what -- why do n't you move ? why do n't you move somewhere else , or i 'll move you . he 's not moving . okay . john : brady , stop it . will you just knock it off ? aah ! brady ! damn it , kid ! come on , man ! [ grunting ] brady ! jordan : i probably should n't have even told you about gabi . i just ... i just feel guilty . ben : guilty ? why ? jordan : because when i heard who did it , part of me was relieved . ben : relieved -- why would you feel relieved ? my god , jordan . did you really think i killed that guy ? abigail : so who did it ? who killed nick ? ej : well , i 'm actually representing the person , so i 'm not really at liberty to say . it will be public soon . the police have the person who shot nick in custody . just so that you know , i was telling you the truth . [ cell phone rings ] abigail : oh , my god . gabi : i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry i let you down , rafe . [ crying ] marlena : you know i ca n't tell you what gabi said . gabi knew that too . i ca n't tell you what she said or the police what she said . i ca n't tell anybody what she said . sami : but she told you , did n't she ? she told you about -- look , mom , you have to understand . marlena : oh ? is there something that you 'd like to tell me ? sami : no . marlena : okay . sami : [ breathes deeply ] eric : get out of my way . nicole : wait . please wait . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i swear i will change . i will never lie to you again . please , please , you can not leave me like this . please ! please , eric ! no ! eric ! i do n't know what i 'll do if i lose you ! please ! [ sobbing ] eric . | hope told marlena that gabi confessed . gabi was upset about going to prison . nicole tried to make what she did to eric right , but he was n't willing to let her . she thought she could prove that he loved her . she wanted him to go with her and she could prove it . she wanted to show him why she did what she did . sami told rafe that gabi confessed to killing nick . ej questioned gabi about her scheme against melanie . gabi suspected that ej was worried that she was going to tell that rafe and sami helped throw nick in the river . rafe went to the police station . sami ripped into jordan for why rafe was n't there for gabi . gabi agreed not to sell out kate and sami . |
gabi : kate ? hey , it 's me , gabi . i need your advice . i have n't heard from stefan . i do n't know what 's going on with him and chloe . i -- i do n't know anything , okay ? and i need to be very careful about what i do next -- stefan : gabi ? why do you need to be so careful ? chloe : julie , those are the wrong napkins . julie : well , they still need to be folded . chloe : what are you doing here ? is n't it your anniversary ? julie : it is . it is , and doug and i had a lovely little private celebration earlier , but i decided i should take over tonight because i do n't think you should be working the night of holly 's funeral . you must be feeling -- chloe : i am here because i need to be doing something , and i put out the blue napkins , not those . julie : sweetheart , you are grieving , and it 's all right . chloe : but i like the blue ones . julie : it 's all right , honey .

i mean , look at this . there are times that i felt like i was igor . sarah : i mean , did you see this ? rex : i know ! sarah : this whole , like , mask that goes on like skin and makes you look like someone else . it 's out of an old sci - fi movie . rex : but here 's the thing . it 's true . brady : what the hell -- what have you , you lost your mind ? what have you done ? kristen as nicole : brady , thank god . he attacked me . eric : no , i did n't mean for you to get hurt . i was just trying to -- kristen as nicole : stay away from me . eric : listen , i was just trying to help you through this . brady : i think -- i think you 've done enough . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] sarah : explain why you know it 's real . rex : okay . in the early 1980s , andre dimera ran around salem killing people . but he did it wearing a mask that made him look exactly like my dad . sarah : seriously ? rex : yeah , and it was so good he even fooled marlena . so rolf became obsessed with this , and he wanted to perfect the prototype , but the isa was working on the same thing at the same time , so rolf was trying to beat them to the punch . sarah : did he ? rex : i have no idea . but if anybody can manage it , it was him . brady : i mean , what happened ? kristen as nicole : he 's crazy , that 's what happened . he was banging on the door and when i finally had to let him in he was just ranting about xander . brady : wait , what ? what about xander ? eric : rex , he saw xander trying to get look at holly death certifi -- kristen as nicole : okay , he just used that as an excuse so he could start in on me . eric : no , it was n't , i swear . kristen as nicole : and when i told him to leave and he would n't , he just got all crazy and he grabbed my arms and he just would n't let go . eric : listen , i was just trying to get through . i was -- i love -- nicole . kristen as nicole : he practically pushed me into this dresser , brady . eric : listen , you pulled away . it was an accident ! kristen as nicole : oh , do n't you put this on me . i told you to leave and you wouldn't . and then you just got physical . eric : no , i 'm sorry . i -- i should n't have done that . i 'm sorry . kristen as nicole : get out . get out and stay out . i do n't ever want to see you again . i 'm just a normal person [ indistinct chatter ] julie : we 're closed . chloe : no , we are not . you can have a seat anywhere you 'd like . julie : fine . actually , i would like a word with his honor , the mayor , anyway . jack : well , please call my office and make an appointment . julie : oh , no . no , this is n't about politics . this is personal . chloe : [ sighs ] eve : he 's in for it now . chloe : you know , i have a bone to pick with you . eve : oh , you know what , not tonight , all right ? chloe : you are the one who told me to give it a shot with stefan , and guess what . it turned out to be the worst mistake of my life . gabi : i was just telling sonny that i need to be very careful with arianna . she 's really upset about holly . stefan : why are n't you with her right now ?

[ both laugh ] hardly . jack : the voters in this town , the majority of them , would disagree . julie : only because you forced haley to frighten them into voting for you . and i think history has proved , jack , that many men have been elected to public office who are mean , arrogant , and stupid . jack : wait a minute -- julie : no , jack , you know that you are not qualified to hold the same positions abraham carver and my husband , doug williams , because those men are leaders , those men stand for something -- jack : wait a minute ! julie : what ? what ? jack : i just remembered . julie : what is it ? jack : you 're ... you 're still an excruciating , relentless cow ! julie : [ frustrated sigh ] chloe : so what is it ? what 's wrong ? eve : [ sighs ] well , i 'm trying to do the right thing in a certain situation . but there 's a hitch . actually , there are a couple of hitches . i do n't know , i 'm starting to feel a little guilty about it all . chloe : do you want to tell me about it ? eve : yeah . i do . you know , it happened -- do you remember -- jack : we 're going . eve : jack , we did n't even get to order a drink . i thought that 's what you wanted to do . jack : someone killed the mood . xander : you saw kristen dimera ? you do know she 's dead ? maggie : yeah . so nicole was too , right ? and i knocked on her door . and kristen answered . xander : did you ... did you speak to her ? maggie : she slammed the door in my face . when i knocked again , it was nicole who answered . xander : but was kristen there too ? maggie : no . xander : had nicole seen her ? did she seem to have any clue that kristen might be in her room ? maggie : i do n't need you to believe me . xander : but you believe it ? even though you ca n't remember how much you 've had to drink ? maggie : well -- [ sighs ] you know , why do n't you just go away ? xander : unlike brady , i do n't think you should be alone . look , i know a little something about women who drink . you probably know my old man died when i was pretty young . well , my mom , she , um ... she did not handle it very well . she chose to deal with her grief by drinking herself into oblivion . maggie : i 'm sorry . xander : well , it teaches a young guy , you know , self - reliance . i 'd come home , find her on the floor , get her into bed and then i 'd have the whole flat to myself . i could do whatever i wanted . i was the envy of all my mates . maggie : you do n't have to shrug it off for me . i lost both of my parents when i was young . it 's not easy when you do n't have anyone to look out for you or to love you . it 's the kind of loneliness that stays with you forever . eric : i was trying to warn nicole that xander may be working up a way of saying that holly was still alive and she did n't want to hear it . sarah : that is a hard thing to hear . god , what slime that guy is . eric : yeah , she said she knew for a face that holly was dead , it was all my fault . sarah : and that 's a bunch of bull . eric : i just kept reminding her of how much i loved her . she -- she turned away and i grabbed her . sarah : you did ? eric : i was just determined for her to hear me out as determined as she was not to . she jerked away , and she fell into a table that had a bottle of champagne and glasses on it . she cut her arm and ... sarah : did she need stitches ? should i go over there ? eric : no , no , she was shocked more than hurt , and brady , he 's there with her . he showed up right after it happened , and she told him that i tried to attack her , which is not true . it was an accident . i 'm not that kind of guy . sarah : i know that . i know you 're not . and , deep down , nicole knows that too . eric : i 'm not so sure . the look in her eye was full of contempt and hatred . sarah : eric , i 'm so sorry . eric : what 's so weird is ... sarah : what ? eric : i looked into her eyes , it 's almost as -- as if i did n't even recognize her . kristen as nicole : i 'm sorry . i have such a terrible headache . brady , you know , i have some aspirin in the bathroom . could you some with some water please ? brady : yeah , yeah , yeah . kristen as nicole : thank you . brady : be right back . kristen as nicole : thank you . brady : here you go .

[ sniffles ] no . i was -- i was rejected . insulted . yeah , i do n't think i 've ever been so hurt in my life , to be honest . and it was n't just me overreacting , either , 'cause even ciara agreed that ... it was totally unfair for tripp to marry haley without thinking about what it would do to me . marlena : did you do something to -- to get back at him ? claire : why would you accuse me of that ? marlena : i 'm not accusing you of that . you just said that you -- you had done something that you should n't have . honey ? what did you do that you should n't have ?

[ scene_break ] marlena : mm - hmm . hope : [ sniffles ] marlena : what was that about ? hope : what ? marlena : you sent bo away , and you obviously wanted him to stay . hope : why did n't i ask bo to stay ? i do n't know . maybe i 'm so used to pushing him away , it 's become a habit . marlena : that does n't sound like you . hope : i do n't what 's me anymore . i have n't been the same since zack died .... and i 'm not sure i ever will be again . marlena : losing a child -- it 's the most awful , awful pain there is . hope : i 'm sure bo told you on the phone i thought i saw zack tonight . marlena : tell me about that . hope : when i walked through the door , he was standing right there ... calling out to me . the vision was so clear . marlena , he looked so frightened . i 'm such a failure . i failed to protect my son ... and i lost him . and on top of that , i allowed it to destroy my marriage . marlena : in the first place , you did not fail to protect your son . you could n't have changed what happened . and secondly , you and bo love each other . you will find your way back together . hope : i wish i could believe that . marlena : just give it time . hope : i did . that 's why i went away . marlena : maybe you need more time . people have different ways of healing .. some wounds are harder than others to fix . hope : the one thing i 'm looking forward to is seeing zack 's killer brought to justice . and the fact that it 's bo 's daughter makes things much more complicated . marlena : tell me something . do you want to save your marriage , or do you want to see chelsea punished ? hope : i do n't know . but what i do know is that i owe this to zack . and i owe this to every other mother whose child she might hurt if she goes free and does n't learn her lesson . zack would want me to do everything to fight for my marriage . and i owe it to bo and shawn . at least bo and i are on the same page about the trial . marlena : are you sure about that ? hope : why do you say that ? do n't you believe it ? marlena : i know you want chelsea punished . i understand that , believe me .. but i think bo wants to see her grow up ... take responsibility for what happened , and learn from this tragedy . there 's a very , very subtle but important difference . hope : even so ... marlena : if you and bo are on the same page , why is n't he here ? why did you send him away ? hope : because -- i do n't know . marlena : i think you 're angry at him . i think you 're finding it very hard to forgive him . hope : of course i 'm angry at him . he lied to me about chelsea . he slept with billie . he betrayed me . marlena : [ thinking ] i did the same thing to john by being with roman . hope : i still love him . i do . but i do n't know if i could ever let him back in my life again . [ scene_break ] bo : hey , man . john : hey , bo . marlena still over at your place ? bo : she was when i left . john : we make quite a pair , do n't we , out here wandering around at night when we should be home with our wives ? bo : yeah . chelsea 's trial is tomorrow . john : yeah , i heard . i would n't want to be in your shoes -- having to choose between keeping your daughter out of prison or saving your marriage . bo : i do n't want to be in my shoes . john : about the marriage , you said you 're working on it , though , right ? bo : yeah , yeah . i told hope that i - i ca n't protect chelsea anymore . i mean , she 's 18 . she dug herself a hole when she hit zack , and she 's gon na have to figure a way to climb out of it . john : yeah . bo : let 's hope it 's not too late . john : for chelsea or for you and hope ? bo : well , for all of us . i mean , i hope chelsea 's strong enough for whatever the -- whatever the judge decides . and there 's no guarantee that hope is gon na forgive me .

[ scene_break ] john : hmm . so ... all of us are suspects . hope : that 's right . that 's why bo and i are on the case . roman 's handling the investigation himself until the governor sends his own investigator . bo : the only reason we know about this report is because i got a buddy in forensics . john : so at some point last night , each of us handled abraham 's gun . does that mean -- marlena : yes . yes . i went to the mansion . john : [ sighs ] marlena : i had some things i wanted to get off my chest , so i confronted him . and i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry i did n't tell you the truth about it . john : no , obviously , i was n't completely honest with you either . marlena : john , why did you go there ? john : same reason . i went to confront him . hope : apparently ... we all did . bo : so where does that leave us ?

[ scene_break ] roman : all right , so wait a minute here , let me get this straight . you saw will carrying around a gun last night ? sami : no . uh , lucas did . but he took it away from will very early in the evening , so i 'm just making it clear that it could n't possibly be the gun that was used to kill stefano . roman : well , actually , the gun that was used to kill stefano belongs to abe . sami : oh ! well , then -- how could will 's fingerprints possibly be on abe 's gun ? roman : that is exactly what i would like to know . obviously , will was there , because abe said he left the gun at the mansion . and will came in contact with the murder weapon . so , will , talk to me . why were you at the dimera mansion last night ? | bo and hope were at john and marlena 's townhouse to talk about the information on stefano 's murder . bo and hope said a ballistics report said that the murder weapon was abe 's . they said that the police had proof that abe 's gun was used to kill stefano . john asked if the police thought abe killed stefano . marlena asked if abe was arrested . bo said abe 's prints were n't the only ones on the gun . john wanted to know whose prints were on the gun . bo said the lab found seven other prints including the four of them . john asked if all of them were suspects . hope said they were . she told them that she and bo were n't on the case because they are suspects . she said roman is investigating the case until the governor sends another in his own investigator . bo said the only reason why they know about the report is because of a friend of his . john said that each one of them at some point touched abe 's gun . marlena admitted to being at the mansion . she said she had things to get off her chest so she confronted stefano . she apologized for not being honest with john . john said he was n't being honest either . marlena asked why he went over there . he said he went for the same reason . hope said they all did . bo wanted to know where that left them . at sami 's apartment , ej told roman that he did n't kill stefano . ej said if he knew who did , he would n't keep quiet . roman thought unless the person who killed stefano was ej . sami thought roman was being crazy because ej and stefano were close . ej said stefano was his father so he did n't have a motive to kill him . roman gave ej a large brown envelope . ej wanted to know what it was . roman said it was ej 's motive . ej opened it and found out it was stefano 's will . roman said that ej was taken out of the will . roman thought it was ej 's motive . sami asked if ej knew about it . ej said he did n't . ej said it was no secret that he and stefano have n't been getting along lately . he said the will carried no weight because it was n't executed and there were no witnesses . there was no legal ground for the will . he thought it was a prop for his father 's amusement . roman wanted to know what he meant by prop . ej said it was one of those things that his father would wave in his face from time to time . he said stefano always threatened to disinherit him . he said stefano never executed it . roman said ej might have made sure stefano did n't execute it . ej suggested that roman needed a tighter case if he thought that he killed stefano . roman told ej that his prints were on the gun . ej said he was at the mansion to see his father . he said he saw the gun sitting there . when he could n't find stefano , he left . roman said when they talked earlier he did n't mention that . ej said roman would have twisted it around to make him look guilty . roman did n't think a lot of twisting was needed . ej asked if roman was going to arrest him . roman said no , but he needed him to come to the police station to take a gunshot residue test . roman warned him not to leave salem . roman called rafe to reinstate him on the force . since bo and hope were gone , roman needed all of the help he could get . rafe agreed to help . |

andré : we 're doing ... everything we can . we ca n't give up hope . we 're going to find him . jj : `` even though the disease is rare , dr . stahl said he knew the cure , but in order to obtain it , he would have to leave the island . `` gabi : why 'd you stop ? what 's going on ? lani : yeah , what does it say ? jj : `` he never had a chance . my husband murdered him , and now i know he 's coming for me next . `` gabi : wait , that 's it ? jj : that 's it . lani : what happened to her ? chad : well , we can probably guess . lani : oh , my god . gabi : okay , was it her skull you guys found or the doctor 's ? jj : i do n't know , but since it was bashed in pretty good , i 'm guessing it 's not the husband 's . gabi : oh , so you mean he 's still alive ? you think he 's out there ? oh , my god ! what if he 's out there watching us right now ? what if he 's going to do something to us ? chad : stop , stop , stop . it was ten years ago , it was ten years ago . gabi , all right , if he was n't treated , there 's no way he survived this long . hell , it almost got my brother , and he was treated . jj : yeah , yeah , chad 's right . i do n't think we have to worry about this kyle guy . gabi : yeah , but we do have to worry about mosquitoes . chad : mosquitoes ? i have n't seen any mosquitoes around here . well , it 's -- we 're getting worked up for nothing . it 's gon na be fine . gabi : no , everything will not be fine , everything will not be fine , okay , not until we get off this damn island . kate : just a splash . we should have heard from them by now . [ cell phone chirps ] kate : kate roberts . yes , mr. shin , how are you ? no , we know about the missing plane . well , thank you for the concern . what ? are you serious ? i do n't give a damn what the board thinks . i will not let that happen . andré : should i ask ? kate : oh , my god . more bad news . abigail : so since he was technically born in mexico , they want to deport him . if he does n't marry a u.s. citizen , then they 're gon na send him back . jennifer : and he does n't want that ? abigail : to go back to mexico ? no , i mean , why would he want that ? his home is here in salem , mom . his brother , his sister are here . his job is here . jennifer : you 're here . abigail : that is not why he wants to stay . jennifer : are you sure about that ? abigail : yes , mom , i am sure . and even if it was , does it make him a terrible person that he cares about me , that he thinks that my friendship is important ? jennifer : abigail , he looks at you as more than a friend . abigail : no , he does n't , mom . look , i have made it very clear to him that i 'm not interested in a relationship with him . i mean , first of all , way too soon for me to even think about getting involved with anybody , and -- why are you looking at me like that ? jennifer : why do you think ? because i ca n't believe that you would marry dario hernandez so that he does n't get deported . i ca n't even imagine that he would expect that of you . abigail : why , mom ? why ? we expect favors of each other all the time , unless , do you not believe in helping out a friend ? jennifer : yes , i do believe in helping out a friend , but this is not a favor . you marry someone because you love them and you want to spend the rest of your life with them . abigail : yeah , jennifer horton , that is what you do under normal circumstances , but if dario hernandez does n't marry a u.s. citizen , then he 's gon na -- jennifer : he will get deported , i understand that . abigail : yes . jennifer : so , you know what , let 's find him another u.s. citizen because it 's not going to be you . abigail : mom . jennifer : no , please , i am sorry for what he 's going through . i really am , but , honey , he is not your responsibility . your plate is full . you just walked out on your husband . you have a son . you have a job . abigail : i know that , mom . jeez . but i also -- i have a friend that 's done a lot for me , and i feel like i owe him . jennifer : you feel like you owe him , honey ? no , yes , maybe you owe him an appreciation . maybe you owe him a thank you note . not your hand in marriage . abigail : a thank you note . wow , okay , you really just do n't get it , do you ? jennifer : oh , no , i really do get it because i bet that this was his idea , right ? abigail : yeah , it was , but so what ? all he did was ask . jennifer : yeah , and you are a tenderhearted , sweet young woman , and he knew you would n't say no . abigail : that is so insulting , mom . i could have said no , but i did n't want to because you can downplay it all you want , but the fact of the matter is that man has done a lot for me . he 's been here ever since i got back to salem . he 's been very supportive , and he 's been very kind . he was there through all of my panic attacks , through all of the chad stuff , and i do n't want to let him down . jennifer : really ? abigail : yeah . jennifer : well , you 're just fine letting your family down ? abigail : that is so not fair . jennifer : really ? abigail , this is not the solution . abigail : why ? mom , it 's not like this is gon na be forever , okay ? we 're gon na get married , he 's gon na get his papers , and then we 're gon na get a divorce . jennifer : my god , you 're making this sound so simple . do you understand this could be years and years , and that it is highly illegal ? abigail : mom , i owe him . jennifer : you keep saying that . you do n't owe him anything . you marry someone because you love them , not because it 's a convenience or you 're promising someone a green card . abigail : well , mom , you know what ? i might not ever find love again , not after chad . gabi : listen to me . i can not die here . i ca n't be here . i have to be with arianna . i have to be with my baby . i have to be in my bed . chad : you know , i get it . i understand you want to go home , all right , but you getting worked up like this is just gon na make other people upset , and it 's not gon na get us out of here any quicker . gabi : no , this is all your fault , this is all your fault . if you just got rid of that stupid amulet when i told you to . chad : it 's not my fault . okay , here we go again . gabi : oh , god , i 'm so sick of your skepticism , always treating me like i 'm some sort of crazy person when i know that it 's bad luck . chad : look , i 'm not gon na argue with you about this . gabi : i can not believe this . i can not believe that money is more important to you than people , than our lives . chad : money ? money ? i cared -- no , i cared about your lives , but it 's a lot of money so i 'm sorry i 'm not gon na give it up over some ridiculous superstition . gabi : can you not see what 's happening here ? the skull . the diary . deadly mosquitoes . i mean , what is it gon na take for you to see that that thing is cursed . lani : we have got to get off this island . i did not sign up for dead people and diseases i 've never heard of . jj : okay , let 's hope eli has some luck getting that satellite phone to work . that 's probably gon na be our best bet . sonny : hey , have you all seen paul ? jj : i thought he was with you . sonny : he was , but we found this place to fish on the other side of the island . i left for literally two minutes to go pick some fruit . when i got back , he was gone . no sign of him anywhere . chad : that 's strange . sonny : i mean , where the hell could he be ? please , you have so much to offer . you 're gon na find someone to love again , but not if you 're in this sham marriage . and what about chad ? have you even considered his feelings in this decision ? abigail : of course , i have , mom , and that 's gon na be the hardest part is keeping the truth from him , but , i mean , but who am i kidding ? mom , he 's already moved on with gabi . they 're both in greece together , by the way , did you know that ? jennifer : i know that , but this is not about gabi . it 's about you . it 's about thomas . how is this gon na affect thomas ? abigail : i think that dario would be a great step - dad when we 're living together . thomas already adores him , and it would be really great to have another man in his life . jennifer : honey . okay , let 's say that you 're right , and dario raises thomas as his own , and they develop this incredible bond between each other . abigail : they already have . they have . jennifer : okay , so what happens when dario disappears after a couple of years ? where does that leave thomas after he has attached himself to this man ? abigail : mom , i 'm gon na make that transition as easy as possible . look , dario 's my friend . it 's not like he 's just gon na disappear . even if we do n't live together , he 's still gon na be a part of thomas ' life . jennifer : you 're being so naive . what happens when the authorities find out about this sham marriage ? do you realize you could go to prison ? abigail : mom , please . look , if i do n't -- if i do n't do this ... they 're gon na kill him . jennifer : what ? are you telling me that his life is in danger ? abigail : a few years ago , he crossed some people that are affiliated with a drug lord named el fideo , and apparently , the guy 's got eyes all over mexico , and he said if he ever sets foot on mexican soil , he 's gon na kill him . jennifer : well , is n't that just so convenient . do you think dario , considering the way he feels about you , you think maybe he exaggerated the story a little bit so that you would marry him ? abigail : i have considered that , yes . jennifer : so i am begging you , please , let me just look into this . let me see what i can find out , please . abigail : okay , i guess it ca n't hurt . i mean , i did -- i have a few other people that are following up on it . [ cell phone chirping ] abigail : that could be them . hello ? raines : abigail . commissioner raines . abigail : oh , hi . raines : i made those calls to my guys in mexico . the story checks out . dario hernandez is wanted by more than one cartel . abigail ? abigail : oh , yeah , thank you very much , commissioner raines . raines : no problem . abigail : it 's true . dario is telling the truth . kate : so hong kong knows about the missing plane , and the timing could n't be worse . there 's the annual ceo vote tomorrow which was supposed to be a formality for chad , but now -- andré : why , are the board members in chaos ? kate : no , they 're past that . they 're writing his obituary . andré : the sons of bitches . kate : mr. shin thinks that without stable leadership , the company would be rendered inept . vulnerable . andré : well , they can elect me in the interim . kate : that 's not gon na happen . andré : why not ? i 've proven myself more than capable . no one 's worked more closely with chad than i have . kate : perhaps , but the truth is the board does n't trust you . they think you are , these are not my words , mentally unstable . andré : is that what mr. shin said , that i was mentally unstable ? well ... that imperious moron is going to hear from me . chad : so gabi and i will stay here in case paul shows up . sonny : we 'll search the rest of the island . gabi : please , be safe , and good luck , guys . sonny : paul ! lani : thank god , you 're okay . paul : of course , i am . why would n't i be ? sonny : i thought something happened to you . where did you go ? paul : i was cleaning the fish , and then i got a little nauseated so i went down to the lagoon . i got some fresh water . i walked it off . i 'm totally fine now . paul : you do n't look fine . here , have some water . gabi : he 's fine . paul : i 'm good , okay ? gabi : okay , good . sonny : you know , i went down to the lagoon . i looked all over the area . why did n't i see you ? paul : well , you got me . i guess i -- i guess we just missed each other . sonny : i guess so . gabi : yeah , what 's important is that he 's okay . he 's okay . sonny : do n't you ever scare me like that again . come here . paul : i 'm here , sonny . i 'm here . chad : hey , hey , hey . why do n't you guys go get a cardboard slab somewhere ? andré : my temperament ? i 'll tell you what , mr. shin , i shall see you at the next board meeting , and you can witness my very agreeable temperament firsthand . kate : a mentally stable response if i ever heard one . andré : this is my father 's company . i should be in control . that 's the way he would have wanted it . kate : unfortunately , what stefano would or would n't want is a moot point now since he 's no longer around . i think our only choice is for me to throw my hat into the ring . andré : yeah . that would be quite fortuitous . kate : i do n't want this . the only reason i would be doing it is to hold the position until chad returns . andré : yes , well , that 's all well and good in theory , but there 's one glaring obstacle . kate : and what would that be ? andré : you are not a dimera . kate : oh , my god . you ca n't be serious . andré : i 'm dead serious , and so are the members of the board . i do n't know if you 've been privy to some of the same conversations i 've heard , but they 're more than willing to dismantle this company and sell it off piecemeal if there is not a dimera at the helm . kate : well , that 's not fair . andré : well , is anything fair in this world anymore , kate ? this could very well be the end of my father 's company . abigail : if i do n't do something , they 're gon na kill him , mom . jennifer : abigail , look at me , please . you have such a big heart . i mean , that 's who you are , but you can not get in the middle of this . it 's a bad idea , especially if dario has a target on his back . abigail : mom , i understand that you do n't agree with me , but i would really love to know that you have my back and that you support me . jennifer : no , no , i do n't support you , but i will keep this secret . [ knocking ] dario : it 's me . can i come in ? abigail : yeah . what 's wrong ? dario : i do n't know how to say this , but -- abigail : it 's the deportation ? i told my mom . dario : no , it 's ... i spoke to rafe and he said that the plane , sonny 's plane , it 's missing . jennifer : oh , dear god . what ? dario : gabi and jj and chad were on board . sonny : are you sure you 're okay ? paul : i told you -- sonny : you do n't look great , paul . paul : i 'm fine , i 'm fine . sonny : you know , i think we should just take a break , lie down for a little bit , drink some water . paul : i do n't need to lie down , and i do n't need water . sonny : okay , i 'm just trying to help you . paul : okay . yeah , i do n't want to argue any more , sonny . you know , we did that earlier . sonny : okay , you 're right . i 'm sorry . i just need you to promise me that you 'll tell me if you 're feeling sick again . paul : it 's a deal . let 's -- let 's go see about those fish . sonny : okay , yeah . gabi : i just miss her . i miss her a lot . i miss arianna . chad : yeah , i know . i miss thomas too , but at least i know abigail 's there to take care of him . gabi : yeah , yeah , but at least he 's still young , and he does n't know what 's going on . arianna already lost will , and now sonny and i are gone . chad , i have to get back to her . okay ? i just have to get back . kate : there has to be some way around this , something that we have n't considered . andré : i do n't know , kate . i think the writing 's on the wall . kate : we just need a temporary fix , that 's it , so that when chad returns , i mean , if he comes back and finds out that the company is sold , it will destroy him . it 's his legacy . it 's thomas ' legacy . he 's put his heart and soul into this company . so have we all . andré : i just do n't think there 's any dimera that can fulfill that position of ceo . i mean , theo and the grandchildren , either they 're too young or they 're just inexperienced in the field to qualify for that position . kate : such a shame that i 'm not -- i 've got it . andré : what , what , what is it ? kate : andré dimera , will you marry me ? jennifer : okay , carla , please let me know if you hear anything . okay , i will . abigail : what did she say ? jennifer : the plane lost contact shortly after it left athens . oh , god , jj . i ca n't do this again . abigail : no , no , mom . no , i know , but , mom , we 're not gon na lose him , okay , because that plane could still be in flight . there 's no record of it going down , so this could just be a technical glitch , okay ? dario : please , god ... let gabi be okay . abigail : i know you have a really good heart , and you 're a loyal person and a great dad . i know that being a devoted father to our son is the most important thing in the world to you . chad : you left out the most important part . abigail : what ? chad : just how much you mean to me . not just because you are my wife or the mother of my son , but because i really like you . i really like you , very , really . that 's not your fight . abigail : no , but it is , and i need you to know that i think it 's really important for me to be a part of this . i belong to this family , and , you know , like it or not , i belong to you . chad : i like it . abigail : chad . gabi : sorry , i 'm sorry , i just ca n't stop thinking about arianna . chad : of course you ca n't . you do n't have to apologize for nothing . gabi : you know , i signed her up for swim lessons over the summer . chad : you 're kidding me . gabi : she 's been begging me . she 's been practicing in the bath tub . chad : that 's the most adorable thing i 've ever heard . gabi : she 's so cute , i mean , she 's even got her flutter kick down . chad : oh , she made freestyler , huh ? gabi : yeah , i think she might be . chad : thomas is gon na be a baseball player . gabi : surprise , surprise there . chad : yeah , i know , but you should have seen him the other day . he had this sippy cup in his hand and his grip on it was so tight it was like a vice grip , and he just wound up , and he whipped that thing . nearly took my head off . it was about 90 miles per hour . gabi : oh , yeah ? chad : yeah . the cubs are calling him . gabi : wow . chad : i told him he 's got to get out of diapers before he starts trying out for the majors , though . it 's dad 's rule . gabi : dad 's rule for sure . chad : yeah . we 're gon na get out of here . we 're gon na see them . soon , i promise . sonny : maybe i should do the gutting this time , in case you get queasy again . paul : i told you , i 'm fine . okay , if i need any help , i 'll give you a shout . lani : i hope eli comes back soon . he 's gon na miss out on some good fish . gabi : yeah , he 's been gone for a pretty long time , has n't he ? jj : ah , looks like we 're eating good tonight . paul : yeah , you got that right . jj : hey , is that blood ? did you cut yourself or something ? paul : oh , yeah , that must have happened when i was gutting the fish earlier . jj : oh , okay . if you need any help ... paul : i got it . jj : all right , i sure am hungry . lani : me too . how about i set the table . chad : what table ? lani : oh , right . we are kind of lacking a table , are n't we ? chad : yeah , i 'm thinking we 're gon na have to eat on our laps for a little while .

tripp , why have you risked so much for me ? tripp : 'cause you mean a lot to me . not gon na stand by and watch you suffer . haley : yeah , i ... i really appreciate everything you 've done and everything you 're still doing . tripp : and i will never regret trying to help you . but i do regret how i treated claire . and i 'm worried that this time i might 've pushed her over the edge . eve : just bring me the lighter , claire , now . claire : eve , i 'm still on my shift at the café . i ca n't just leave . my boss is gon na flip out and probably fire me . eve : well , she 's probably gon na fire you if you end up in prison , too . claire : okay , uh , well , if i leave , then ben 's gon na be even more suspicious . eve : okay , fine . then i 'll come down there to you . claire : wait , really ?

marlena : they are suggesting a supervised release . that 's if i agree , and if i do n't , if i think it 's too soon , then -- then it wo n't happen . john : mm . so is it too soon ? jennifer : wait , steve wants kayla back ? since -- since when ? jack : well , it seems that my brother has had some sort of an epiphany . i mean , he has finally decided to let go of the guilt that he had over all the things that he did to stefano . jennifer : well , that 's good , jack . jack : yes , it 's good . it 's good . he told me that hope helped him realize that -- that it was guilt that caused him to keep kayla at arm 's length . so that 's when he decided he wanted kayla back . jennifer : jack , kayla does n't know this . jack : ah , no , that 's why he went to the hospital to tell her . jennifer : yes , she told me that she saw him , but she got called away before she had a chance to talk to him . jack : so he did n't get a chance . jennifer : but wait a minute . if he wants her back , why would he leave a note wishing them well , jack ? jack : when he finally got to her , she was being proposed to by justin in the middle of the nurses ' station . jennifer : and she said yes . jack : she said yes . she said yes , and then he just -- like something out of jane austen , he wrote a little note , and he ran away . jennifer : no , what is he gon na do ? jack : i do n't know . i do n't know . but he does n't want kayla to know . steve : [ groaning ] kayla : okay , all right , all right . i gotcha . take that off . okay . all right . here . why do n't we just lie down over here , all right ? there you go . steve : oh , ahh . kayla : you got it ? steve : ohh . oh , yeah . kayla : okay , okay , okay . steve : no , do not tuck me in . do not . kayla : would n't think of it . steve : it 's bad enough you had to drive me home . kayla : well , it 's not like it 's the first time . steve : you 're right . you 've always been there for me , sweetness whenever i needed you , always . my nunormal : fewer asthma attacks . marlena : i would be curious to hear your opinions about this . i mean , you 've known claire her whole life . you love her with all your heart . so ... do you think she 's ready to be released ? you certainly have spent time with her at bayview . john : doc , all i can say is what my gut feels , and ... i think she 's doing much better . marlena : yeah . but is she the old claire , that little girl that we loved and adored so much , hmm ? john : i feel like she 's my buddy again . marlena : oh , my gosh . you know what ? i do too . i do too . i mean , she 's -- she 's so affectionate . she 's so not wrapped up in herself . john : right . marlena : and she understands all the harm she 's done and heartache she 's caused . and she -- and she wants to make reparations to everybody she 's hurt , even -- john : those are good signs , are n't they ? marlena : they are good signs . john : yeah . marlena : they are , and i -- i 'm thinking that maybe even there 's a way to -- to resume the friendship between the girls , you know , between claire and ciara . i do n't know . john : yeah , me neither . um , i was thinking that hope and ciara need to weigh in on this , where claire can come home or not , right ? marlena : well , whatever happens , claire needs to be supervised . you know , she 's always had this -- this jealousy towards ciara . goes back to when they were little girls , and i would n't want to see anything happen that would -- that would set her back right now . john : really ? you think that would ? marlena : well , i mean , ciara is engaged to ben . that certainly could trigger her , do n't you think ? john : does she even know about the wedding ? marlena : well , i do n't -- i do n't know . we did n't discuss it . gwen : come on . you can trust me . how did you get your hands on that card , claire ? claire : well , um , i saw it on dr . morris ' desk , and i sort of borrowed it . gwen : you mean you took it , huh ? okay , so then how did -- how did he get it ? why would this ciara person invite your doctor to her wedding . claire : well , the guy she 's marrying was a patient here for a very long time , so i guess he invited his old shrink . gwen : and why did you take it ? claire : i do n't know , okay ? it was an impulse . i was just curious . gwen : curious ? are you thinking about crashing that wedding ? ben : please do not tell me that you miss claire . ciara , she tried to burn you to death twice . ciara : no , i know . trust me , i have not forgotten that . i just -- ben : yeah , but you already one ... in your life , and that 's me . you do n't need another one around , please . ciara : i do n't want her around . no , i do n't -- i do n't even want her around , not the way that she was when -- when she left . i mean , if anything , i miss the way that she was when she was younger when she was the old her , you know ? like , i would get so excited for shawn and belle to show up and visit us , because i knew claire was coming , and she was so much fun , and then when we got older , she helped me get through some really awful stuff , ben . ben : i know . ciara : that 's the kind of friend that she was . she was always there for me . she always had my back , always . ben : i can be your best friend now . ciara : i know . i know . hey , you know what ? maybe i can hire myself a maid of honor . ben : oh , my god . look , , all i care about is that when this whole wedding thing is over , is that i am gon na become your husband . ciara : god , i could hardly wait . [ knock at door ] [ knocking continues ] ben : hey , what are you doing here ? jake : hey , i 've got to talk to you . ben : i told her everything . she 's good . jake : all right , it turns out you do n't know everything . ben : you got some news on your ex ? jake : i got news , but it 's about gabi dimera . ciara : wait , what about gabi dimera ? jack : she 's been kidnapped . [ dramatic music ] kayla : how are you feeling ? steve : i 'll be okay . kayla : okay , then , i 'm gon na go . steve : no , not yet . i 've got to tell you something . kayla : why do n't you wait till you 're sober , all right ? steve : no , i 've got tell you now . i know you 're with justin and you 're engaged . kayla : that 's right . steve : but i still love you . kayla : do n't do this . steve : i was n't going to . i did n't want to mess -- i did n't want to mess you and justin up , but i ... kayla : you couldn't . steve : i changed my mind . you know , in vino ... what is it ? kayla : veritas ? truth . steve : the truth is , i want you back . ( pirate girl ) ahoy ! ! ! ! ! jake : and then he dragged her out of the garage at gunpoint . ben : these goons mean business . jake : ahh . ciara : why do they even want to take gabi in the first place ? jake : she gave the guy the idea that she 's my wife . ben : what was she even doing at the garage ? jake : i do n't know . i thought she was locked up . ciara : no , i actually heard that she made bail . jake : well , now this guy has her , and he 's not gon na let her go until i give him back what he wants . ben : well , do you have proof that these guys even have her ? jake : yeah , i got this just before i came here . ben : let me see . ciara : oh , my god . jake : yeah . ciara : all right , that 's it . i 'm calling the police right now . ben : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , no , no . ciara : [ scoffs ] gwen : that 's what you mean , right ? crash the wedding . claire : no . i am not the person i used to be . gwen : oh , yeah , well , we all say that , darling . claire : yeah , okay , well , i mean it . ciara used to be my best friend . and i want to be one of her bridesmaids . or maybe even her maid of honor . gwen : well , i do believe you mean that . claire : well , why should n't i mean it . you know , we talk a lot in here about making amends , and that is all i want . i would give anything to prove to ciara how sorry i am . gwen : right , but -- but just hang on . do you really think that `` sorry `` is going to cut it after you tried to light the woman on fire ? claire : well , if i could just make her see how messed up i was back then and how different i am now ... gwen : you really think she 'd let you be in her wedding then ? claire : maybe . you know , a lot of people hate the idea of her marrying ben , so i could show my support . oh , and i could rock a bridesmaid 's dress . i know that for a fact . gwen : yeah , well , you know , it 's really kind of hard to show your support when you 're , um , locked up in this place . last time i checked , we residents do n't really get field trips now , do we ? claire : like i do n't know that , but if things go my way , i may be blowing this joint real soon . jack : steve pretty much admitted to defeat when he saw justin propose to kayla . jennifer : yes , of course , which is why he left the note saying that he was so happy for the two of them . jack : the point is , he does n't want to stick it to justin . i mean , think about it . justin has been through so much . that guy -- jennifer : no , i know , jack . he has , but -- jack : yeah , so -- so think of this . what if steve screws everything up between justin and kayla ? my sister would haunt him the rest of his life . she would . think about it . i mean , think about how much she came after me because of me and eve . jennifer : jack , steve and kayla are soul mates . and rolf tore them apart . do n't you think kayla deserves to know how steve feels ? jack : why ? really , why ? she 's happy now . she 's happy with justin . she 's engaged to justin . they 're gon na get married . steve does not want to burden her with any more information or the knowledge that he still loves her . jennifer : mm - mm , no . no , i think i 'm right about this jack . jack : yeah , right , of course you 're right . you 're always right , but you 're -- wait a minute . what -- where are you going ? jennifer : if steve is not gon na tell kayla the truth , then i 'm gon na tell her the truth . steve : i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . kayla : no , i 'm -- i 'm so glad you did . it changes everything . steve : it does ? kayla : yes , because i love you too , and i never stopped . and i just -- i just let things get serious with justin because i thought that you did n't want me anymore . steve : that was a lie . i 'm sorry you had to go through that . that was such a lie . sweetness , you are and always be the only woman i ever wanted .

[ laughter ] john : doc , i 'm telling you , sometimes -- sometimes i find myself daydreaming , just , you know , the day that claire comes back to us , and she 's still the sweet little girl she always was , all full of life , just ready to go . marlena : i know ; i think about it too . john : sounds like you 're on board with this . marlena : oh , i am . all we have to do now is get her parents ' approval . gwen : so you 're thinking your big - shot granny is just gon na pull some strings and get you right out of here . claire : well , she 's consulted at this place for forever . she has clout . so i told her that i 'm better and ready to make it up to the people i hurt . and now way can i do that from in here . what ? what ? you do n't believe me ? gwen : you know , you talk a good game . but i can bet you always did , did n't you ? tell me , do you really want to make things right with ciara ? or do you want to just finish off what you started ? jake : please do not bring the cops into this . ciara : why ? jake : hang up the phone , and i 'll tell you . please . all right , ben says you know everything , so you must know we 're dealing with the mob here . if they find out that the cops are in on this , gabi 's as good as dead . ben : you do n't want to risk that , ciara . ciara : yeah , okay , but , ben , i 'm not risking anything . listen , rafe is the police commissioner . he is gabi 's brother , all right ? that means that we can trust him . he 's not gon na let anything bad happen to her . jack : jennifer , whoa , whoa , hold -- hold on a minute . jennifer : why ? jack : are you really ready to upend justin and kayla 's life ? because that 's what you 're going to do . jennifer : do n't you think kayla deserves to know the truth , jack ? jack : of course she does but not from you and me . steve can fight his own battles . jennifer : you just said he 's not going to . jack : yes , because -- he wrote that note because he realizes that his time is over with kayla . it 's over . she is engaged to be married to someone else . he has finally recognized that . jennifer : no , jack , we have all of this information . i wo n't even be able to look kayla in the eye . do n't you think she can choose who she wants to spend the rest of her life with ? do n't you think that 's important ? jack : i think it 's -- jennifer : i think we need to give her that right to do that , jack . jack : we can give her -- jennifer : no , we can , which ... come in . kayla : hey . jake : no , i 'm begging you . do not bring the cops into this . ciara : okay , did you not just hear me say that the police commissioner is rafe , and rafe is gabi 's brother ? ben : rafe is in court today . ciara : what ? ben : i said rafe is in court today ; today is the day of david 's custody hearing , and -- and listen to me . he 's not gon na answer his phone . ciara : all right , so what are we gon na do ? ben : the person these creeps want is your ex . our best chances of stopping them from hurting gabi is to find her . hope : you want to tell me about that dream you were having ? steve : did n't seem like a dream . it was so real . hope : it was about you and kay , was n't it ? steve : yeah . i told her i wanted her back . i guess i was just drunk dreaming . hope : you 'll be sober by morning . and you can try again . steve : no , i can't . i know i keep saying this , hope , but kayla knows her own mind . she 's happy with justin . i wish it was n't true . i wish i could go back and change things . but she 's made a life with someone else . i need to respect that . jennifer : kayla , i am so surprised to see you . i -- i thought you were meeting with justin tonight . kayla : well , he 's stuck in court , and he 's gon na get a bite there , but you invited me for dinner , so i 'm hoping that the invitation still stands . jennifer : yes , absolutely . jack : absolutely , especially with one of your legendary pies . kayla : well , i had a little insomnia baking last night . jennifer : well , i 'm sorry for you , but thomas and charlotte will be ecstatic . jack : yeah . kayla : where are those little lovebugs ?

oh , but i 'm sure they 're so happy with their grandma and grandpa . jack : oh , yes , because we keep them so busy , and vice versa . they keep us busy too . kayla : yeah . jack : [ clears throat ] kayla : i saw steve today . jack : you did ? kayla : yeah , at the pub . he was pretty drunk . jennifer : uh , did he say why ? kayla : well , he tried , but , you know , he was really pretty incoherent . i managed to get him in my car and get him to hope 's den to the sofa , but then he basically passed out . jennifer : poor guy . kayla : yeah , he 's not a happy drunk either . i think he 's still beating himself up over rolf messing with his head . jennifer : look , kayla , that was so long ago , and i just think that -- jack : you know , i -- i saw him just before you did at the pub , and i think you 're absolutely right . hope : coffee was n't the answer . well , you have n't had any . i thought maybe these would be . steve : yeah . hope : i 'll put them here for you . steve : thanks . sorry you have to put up with all this . hope : you 're going through hell . i totally understand . and , steve , you know , i want you to know that i am in this for the long haul with you . we 're family . you know i 'll always have your back , do n't you ?

[ scene_break ] chelsea : uncle roman , are you saying that you do n't believe nick ? because i can vouch for his honesty and willow 's lack thereof . she was a lowlife , a manipulative tramp . roman : all right , chelsea , just cool it , all right ? chelsea : look , i 'm sorry if it 's bad to talk about somebody that 's dead that way , but she caused him and everybody else so many problems . roman : chelsea , listen to me , all right ? i am well aware of willow stark 's past and her m.o . but whether or not i believe nick depends on how he answers my questions , and so far , those answers have been very vague and unsatisfactory . nick : i have told you exactly what happened , and every word of what i said is true . roman : nick , i told you to start at the beginning . you did n't do that . nick : what does that mean ? roman : for instance , what were you and willow doing out on that beach alone tonight in the first place ? nick : she called me , and i went to go meet her there . roman : you agreed to meet her there . nick : yeah . roman : all right , let me get this straight , okay ? let me get this straight . so this troubled young woman who , according to chelsea , was a manipulative tramp who caused you a lot of problems , she calls for this evening rendezvous . you say , `` why the hell not ? no problem . `` call me crazy , nick . it just does n't make a whole lot of sense . nick : she insisted that i go . roman : oh . oh . well , hell , in that case , you had no choice . you know what , chelsea ? i do n't know about you , but i do n't think nick here is quite as honest as you think he is .

caroline : yes . both barrels . bo : surprise , surprise . how 'd he react ? caroline : he said he was very sorry for what he put sami through -- the weird thing is , i wanted to believe him . if he 's a con man ... he 's one of the best . bo : i 'm gon na take a little trip over there . caroline : as a cop or an uncle ? bo : oh , i 'll start out as an uncle , and we 'll see how it goes . love you . caroline : love you too . sami : come on , rafe , we ca n't go to the cops . rafe : why not ? just based on what that jerk tried to do to you last night . sami : because we ca n't . we can handle him , okay . we can handle this . rafe : oh , yeah , 'cause that 's going so well . sami : look , i have been in plenty of dangerous situations in my life , and i 'm still here , right ? it worked out . rafe : very reassuring . sami : okay . okay , i 'm sorry . it was totally my fault . i should not have gone down there and confronted him alone . i promise it wo n't happen again . rafe : what if he escapes , sami ? what if he comes after you , or after the kids ? sami : i get it . it 's dangerous . it 's even more dangerous to go to the cops , though . rafe : yeah , i just do n't get that . sami : are you serious ? ej and stefano have all those cops bribed ! like the guy who lured you down to the pier . who knows how many other cops they have on the take ? and all the judges . rafe : sami , listen to me . the only person that needs to know is your uncle bo . that 's it . sami : yes , he 's my uncle , but he is also the police commissioner . look , i just do n't trust that the dimeras wo n't find out . okay ? we have an opportunity here . we can either take advantage of this situation and pay them back for what they did to us , or we can go to the cops . and then ej and stefano will find out , and then we are screwed . abigail : lexie . dr . carver . hi . lexie : hi , abigail . are you going on your lunch ?

abigail : yeah . thanks . lexie : okay . chad : all right , i want to know what kind of trouble ej is in . nicole : look , if you 're gon na live here in the manse , it 'd be a good idea for you to learn not to ask a lot of direct questions . chad : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you started this . you came in here asking me if i 've seen ej . i said no . you said he 's in some kind of trouble . what am i supposed to do ? nicole : realize that i am in a bad mood and keep walking ! chad : did your sister ask a lot of questions ? i mean , is that why she does n't live here anymore ? nicole : something like that , yeah . chad : huh . that 's too bad . she was nice . nicole : do n't ever say that to me again , okay ? taylor : i am staying here under an assumed name so nicole wo n't find out that i am still in salem . ej : right . and that 's the first thing that has to stop . no . uh - uh . you have every right to lead your own life . taylor : okay , maybe . maybe . but if nicole finds out that we were together , she is gon na call the cops and go singing like a canary . ej : i would n't be so sure about that . taylor : why not ? ej : why do n't you just leave nicole to me ? okay ? adrienne : um , do you think it might be a little too soon to be involved with someone new ? chloe : why ? adrienne : well , you loved daniel a lot , and it has n't been that long . chloe : well , there 's no hope for daniel and me . i guess i 'm just not really good at being alone . adrienne : well , then , tell me about this guy . uh , where 'd you meet ? chloe : actually , right here . adrienne : and you two just hit it off ? chloe : well , there were some bumps in the beginning , but it all got straightened out . vivian : is that why you came here , to scare me ? quinn : is it working ? vivian : no . quinn : i thought an ungrateful child was supposed to be like a serpent 's tooth or something . vivian : all right , i get it . you hate me . so you came here to hate me to my face . quinn : i thought we discussed this yesterday . you vastly overestimate my obsession with you . vivian : would you please stop talking in riddles and tell me what you want ?

[ glass shatters ] ej : [ yelling ] oh , no , no , no . okay ? enough ? all right ? stop . stop . i 'm just trying to make you recognize that , if my father and i go to jail , you lose everything . all right ? everything . i lose custody of johnny , i lose custody of sydney , and samantha will make sure you never see them again , you understand ? so just do the smart thing . take a very , very generous divorce settlement . i 'll give you access to the children . let this marriage go . nicole : why ? so you can go to bed with taylor whenever you want ? ej : sweetheart , i 'm doing that anyway . and when i finish with that , i 'm gon na marry her . so do n't make this more difficult than it has to be ! nicole : or what ? what , are you gon na kill me ? gus : i 'm sorry , madam . i was hoping your son would want something easier to deal with -- money . vivian : yes , me too . no , he 's convinced that he 's not gon na tell me what he 's after . do you know when i left him all those years ago , i thought it was the best thing for both of us . of course his father did n't give me any choice . and now quinn thinks i preferred lawrence and his son . gus : it might be good to find out where the intervening years have taken him . vivian : i know . i 've got to find out what my son 's story is . chloe : well , i 'm gon na need some time before i meet this client of yours . i have n't been doing my daily exercises . i 'm gon na have to call my vocal coach and see if she can fit me in . quinn : chloe . chloe . chloe : yeah ? what ? quinn : i was n't talking about having you sing for this gentleman . chloe : i do n't understand . what does he want ? quinn : you . sami : well , i hit him with my purse , you know , to try to get away , and everything flew out , including this necklace , and you should have seen the way he was looking at it . i mean , he was staring at it . rafe : what 'd he say about it ? sami : well , he did n't -- he did n't really say anything , but i just got the feeling that it meant something to him . something important . rafe : maybe it was a trophy from one of his conquests or victims . sami : i could tell he was gon na kill me . he had no problems strangling me to death . if you had n't come in , he probably would have . so who knows what he 's capable of ? or what he did before he came here . rafe : well , maybe if we find out who she was or what happened to her , we 'll have what we need . taylor : okay . i ca n't call you , ej . i ca n't . i will just -- i 'll wait for you to call me . mom . i broke my promise to you , mom . you asked me to take care of nicole , and i am not . i wish you were here to take care of her . and me . nicole : go ahead . try it , ej . try it . why do n't you go ahead ? ej : give me one reason why . nicole : go ahead . ej : one reason . give me one reason why -- bo : junior ! get your hands off her . ej : what is he doing here ? bo : well , i got a call about a domestic disturbance . ej : right , well , the caller is mistaken because everything is under control here . nicole : actually , commissioner brady , he 's lying . bo : no . chloe : you go to hell . nicole : i want him to hear every word i have to say about him . taylor : ej and i are in love with each other . | taylor and ej woke up in her hotel room and realized it was morning . she told him he had to go , but he did n't want to . she told him that nicole could find out he was there . he did n't care . she reminded him that nicole could destroy his life . she told him he had to leave . he told her they were n't going to talk about nicole and he was n't sneaking into his house . she told him he had to . he told her he would handle nicole . at the dimera mansion , nicole asked henderson and chad if they saw ej . they both said they did n't . chad wanted to know what trouble ej was in . nicole dodged his question . at the brady pub , caroline and bo talked about rafe being back in town with sami . bo was n't surprised . caroline reminded him about what fake rafe did to sami . she believed something was wrong . bo told caroline how sami called him and asked about rafe 's behavior on the hob . the two kept talking about sami and rafe . sami and rafe were worried that the dimeras may be on to them . he wanted to go to the police , but she did n't want to . she thought they could handle fake rafe . she apologized for going to the shed alone . rafe asked what if he escaped and went after sami and the kids . she understood that it was dangerous , but it would be worse if they go to the cops . rafe did n't understand that . she reminded him that the dimeras bribe cops . he wanted to tell bo . she did n't trust that the dimeras would n't find out . she believed they could take advantage of the situation and make the dimeras pay for what they 've done or go to the police and have the dimeras find out then they 're screwed . |

[ sighs ] this is so difficult for me . i -- i just -- i 'm not the kind of woman who can share you with someone else . so if you 're still gon na marry kate , i wo n't . i will not be your mistress . deimos : i 'm giving kate my name , that 's all . nicole : why ? you 're giving her that ring . deimos : the ring is not for kate . not this one . this one ... this one is way too important . nicole : you bought that for helena . deimos : i was gon na give it to her that night , but victor got to her before i could ... and when she died , i put it away . could n't even look at it . not until ... nicole : and you want me to wear that , is that what you 're saying ? deimos : mm - hmm . nicole : a consolation ring ? deimos : no , no . not a consolation . this ring is my commitment to you . is n't that what you want ? nicole : no . i want a man who 's free . free from kate and helena . deimos : helena is gone , and kate -- kate is a simple alliance . she gives me standing , power . nicole : and is that all you need ? deimos : no . what i need is you . what i need are the feelings that i have when i 'm with you . i need love , nicole , and so do you . all you have to do is say yes . theresa : okay , look , i 'm gon na put him in the car and i 'm gon na take him for a drive -- brady : no , you 're not . no , you 're not . you 're gon na stay here . you 're gon na finish your work . it 's a beautiful night . i 'm gon na take him out , and we 're gon na go for a walk . it 's gon na be lovely . theresa : brady , thank you . okay , i know i have n't been pulling my weight lately . brady : stop . you 've had to work your butt off since nicole bailed from dj wear , okay ? theresa : yeah , well , at least i have you . and you , even if you are a crybaby . brady : and we have you . it 's the three of us against the world , and who knows , if one of us got some sleep , the world would n't stand a chance . theresa : okay . summer : so wait a minute . you can lecture me about brady , but you clam up about nicole . dario : who is clamming up ? i do care about nicole , sure . summer : so are n't you a little bit nervous about helping her get revenge on deimos ? i mean , she 's playing a pretty dangerous game with a really dangerous man . dario : and i keep telling her that , but there 's nothing i can say or do that will change her mind . summer : hmm . you know , that does n't sound good to me . it sounds like she 's really hung up on the guy . dario : are n't you the one who wanted to shut up and play ? summer : oh , and summer is right again . [ laughing ] dario : maybe you are , which makes her trying to play deimos even more dangerous , but like i said , she wo n't listen to me . i -- i tell her i have her back and that i will be there for her if she needs me , and i let the chips fall where they will . summer : [ chuckles ] oh , my god , look at us . we 're just the kind of losers that we used to seek out as a mark . dario : speak for yourself . summer : oh , come on , dario . you 're in the same boat . you are waiting around for someone who is just a friend to become something more . dario : you need another drink . summer : [ sighs ] it 's lonely , is n't it ? waiting around for someone ? for something that 's not gon na happen ? dario : yeah , i guess . hey , come on , come on , come on . do n't . do n't be sad . maybe we should n't ... wait around for anyone else when we each have a perfectly good friend right here . summer : we would hate ourselves afterwards . dario : we hate ourselves now . [ both laughing ] but you 're right . we 'd just mess it up ... again . summer : like la . we agreed it 's better to keep it strictly platonic . dario : mm - hmm . it 's only sensible . only -- summer : we ai n't that sensible . nicole : i want you as much as you want me , and i am ready to give myself to you , but not here in the dark like some dirty little secret , and i want a real ring . not someone else 's . deimos : i will not do this any longer . do you understand me ? no more tests . no more games . if you want me , nicole , this is your last and only chance . [ moans ] what ? what ? what is it ? what are you afraid of ? nicole : i told you . deimos : you do n't give a damn about marriage . you would n't let some piece of paper stand in the way of what you truly want . that 's not you . oh , my god . [ sighs ] not unless ... you ca n't let it go , can you ? this plan to help victor get revenge . nicole : that 's not what this is about . deimos : oh , the hell it is n't ! [ sighs ] gosh . are you really gon na hold on to your hatred instead of giving yourself what you really want ? is that it ? i will not let him do this to me again . do you understand me ? nicole : deimos , you 're hurting me . deimos : i will not let him take away another woman i love . theresa : bye , you guys . have a nice walk . brady : we will . everything will calm down after the launch , i promise you . theresa : yeah ? god , i do n't know why but i 'm even more nervous about this than i was the basic black launch . brady : do n't be . your work that you 're doing right now , it 's even better than what you were doing for basic black . theresa : you think so ? brady : no , i do n't think so . i know so , and the whole world is gon na know it too that you are a one - of - a - kind talent . i know what i 'm talking -- we 're your two biggest fans , and we 're very proud of you . theresa : yeah , even when i 'm being a crazy person acting all jealous and saying you -- how you have a hero complex ? brady : you know how adorable you are when you get jealous ? theresa : [ laughs ] please . brady : no , it 's amazing . you have these beautiful eyes that just stare daggers at me , and you 're all mad and intense -- theresa : oh , yeah ? hmm , does it turn you on ? brady : there 's a lot about you that turns me on , actually . theresa : [ chuckles ] brady : you 're stuck with me . theresa : yeah ? brady : mm - hmm . you have my heart . you know that , do n't you ? theresa : yeah . yeah , i do . summer : i ca n't believe we broke our own rule . dario : we should do it more often . summer : dario , no . dario : what ? it 's not like we 're pulling cons . we 're not mixing business and pleasure . what 's the big deal if we get together every now and then ? summer : it 's just not a good idea , and for so many reasons , i -- look , this was a one time thing , okay ? i think it would be better if i slept alone tonight . dario : okay . your call . all right if i grab a quick shower ? summer : fine . dario : you know , summer , i do care about you ... and i hate seeing you holed up in some hotel room dreaming of what you yourself say can never be . what 's the golden rule if a con starts going south ? summer : cut your losses and move on . dario : this con 's gone south . [ nicole gasps ] deimos : so what was your end game , huh , nicole ? tell me . was it to , what , convince me to marry you ? and then what ? what , poison me ? cut my throat in my sleep ? nicole : of course not , no . deimos : or maybe you thought you could push me down the same flight of stairs that maggie fell down , is that it ? nicole : deimos , please , you 're hurting me . deimos : just as long as it killed me , right , and inherited my money ? [ nicole shrieks ] so how much did you promise to give to victor ? was it half ? was it all ? and now what are you gon na do that your plan has gone south ? tell me , nicole . you might want to watch your back because my brother might just push you off a cliff ... nicole : let go of me ! deimos : or who knows , maybe throw you in the river ! nicole : let go ! ow ! deimos : maybe -- maybe i should save my brother the trouble . what do you think , huh ? nicole : [ screams & shrieks ] let go of me , you son of a bitch ! deimos : come here . nicole : do n't touch me . deimos : i would 've loved you like you 've never been loved before . passionate . raw . honest emotion . not that simplistic , surface crap you had with daniel . nicole : i loved daniel . deimos : really , really ? and what did you love about him ? i 'm curious . was it his good heart ? his dedication to his work ? nicole : yes . deimos : oh , please . you would 've been bored within six months of marrying him . playing the good wife . having dinner ready on the table for hubby when he came home from work . [ laughing ] deimos : the two of you sitting together on the couch watching the latest dance competition on tv . nicole : that sounds wonderful , actually . deimos : that is n't you , nicole , and you know it . you 've settled . you became the woman everyone thought you should be . you 've been living a lie , and you 're still living it , and for what ? what , for maggie ? for victor ? would hurting me help her walk again ? help him become a better man ? oh , please . either way , nicole ... you lose . [ sighs ] kate : well , i guess now i know where i stand with you . summer : hey , brady . brady : hey , hey . i was having trouble getting this little guy down to sleep . take him for a walk , now he 's conked out . summer : yeah . aww , such a handsome little guy . brady : is n't he ? i agree with you . i , um , i better get him back to his crib . summer : brady , wait . um ... there is something i need to say to you . it 's time that i -- that i told you how i really feel . ac brady : summer , you do n't -- you do n't have to say anything . summer : could you just listen ? and if you want , after i 'm done you can turn and go . you do n't have to respond . brady : okay . summer : i know it does n't matter , and i know you will never feel the same way about me , but i just ca n't hold on to this any longer . brady , i 've fallen for you like i 've never fallen for anyone before , and now i am crazy , madly , insanely in love with you . from the moment you saved my life , i realized that i would do anything to be around you , and it just kills me to know that no matter what i do , you 'll never feel the same way . [ lounge music plays ] [ phone ringing ] dario : hello ? nicole : oh , thank god you picked up . dario : what 's wrong ? nicole : i need to see you now . can you meet me at the little park just off the square ? dario : yeah , i 'll be right there . kate : so , nicole rejected the ring . are you going to try to pawn that off on me ? deimos : you and i were never about love , kate . as i 'm sure you heard me say to nicole , we were always about power , control . kate : for me that was true too , and love . deimos : i 'm sorry if you misunderstood that . kate : i wanted love the same way you wanted nicole to love you ... [ sighs ] but love makes fools of us all , and i 'll keep looking for my king , and you 'll keep looking for helena , and we 're both doomed to fail . deimos : well , then i guess we really do deserve each other , do n't we ? so what do you say ? maybe we should get on that flight to vegas after all , huh ? i mean , it 's flashy . it 's sexy . it 's superficial ... and at its heart , it 's all about money , right ? i 'm sure you 'll be right at home . kate : you go to hell ! [ deimos , water splashes ] kate : deimos ! deimos ! brady : well , summer , i do n't know what to say , um -- summer : i -- i told you . you do n't have to say anything . brady : no , i -- i 'm really touched by your honesty , i really am ... and i feel a connection to you . i do . i 'm so grateful to have found you , you know , and especially grateful because i know how much it would 've meant to daniel , and it means so much to maggie , and -- i mean , uh , maybe in another life , another time , another set of circumstances , summer . i do n't know , but -- summer : i think even if you were single , that you 're out of my league . brady : oh . summer : i am a bipolar con artist that drinks too much , and i have no idea what i want in life . brady : that happens to be exactly the type of woman that i used to be attracted to . summer : used to be , right . brady : no , i did n't mean that the way it came out . i just -- summer , i 've had my fair share of struggles . my god , i have a list . i have had some big screw- ups . summer : but you 've gotten yourself together . you have a good life now . brady : i do . but here 's the thing . i think that you -- i think you 'll find that too . i think you 'll find exactly what you 're looking for one day , summer . [ tate crying ] brady : and right on cue , he 's up . buddy , you -- this was not the nap we talked about . he 's probably hungry , right ? summer : he 's so beautiful . [ tate screaming , crying ] summer : hey , sweetheart , i hope your daddy and i did n't wake you up with all our talking . brady : no , no . he just does n't want to miss out on anything . i mean , why sleep when you can hear people making a big fuss over you ? summer : [ laughing ] wow , looking into those big , bright eyes and that sweet little face ... it makes the world a little less dark . brady : yeah . i know what you mean . [ tate cooing ] brady : it was good to see you . summer : yeah , you too . dario : hey , what 's wrong ? nicole : i had my chance . i was this close , and i blew it . it 's over with deimos , and i would n't be surprised if that son of a bitch never lets me near him again . [ suspenseful music ] [ sinister music ] [ phone ringing ] roman : brady . kate : [ pants ] roman , i 've witnessed a crime . [ sensual music ] brady : hi , what is -- [ whispering ] what is all this ? theresa : well , i , uh , finished all my work , and then i realized i had n't eaten all day , and , uh , well , since he 's sound asleep -- brady : he is . he is finally , so i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na take him back -- theresa : no , no , no , hey , hey , leave him here . i do n't want him to wake up . come on . join me for dinner ? brady : sure . theresa : yeah ? brady : well then , i 'm grateful that you prepared all -- all of this , but do you mind if we let the food wait ? [ keys jingle ] theresa : why , are you not hungry ? brady : oh , i 'm hungry . i have an appetite . theresa : oh , yeah ? brady : yeah , for this . theresa : mm . [ melancholy music ] [ ethereal humming ] ooh ah brady : i do n't think she 's breathing . ooh brady : summer , come on . what are you doing here ? nicole : me ? [ summer coughing , gasping ] brady : summer ? summer ? summer : the hell are you -- brady : it 's okay , it 's okay . we got to get her inside now . nicole : brady , what are you doing ? brady ? [ ethereal humming ] dario : i think you 're better off now that this con with deimos is over . nicole : really ? so that son of a bitch gets away with what he did to maggie ? how the hell am i better off ? dario : nicole , this was turning into a dangerous game . listen , i get that you 're worried about victor 's reaction and what that 's -- nicole : no , no . things between me and victor are never gon na change . he will always hate me , and i could care less . you know ... i wanted -- i really needed to do this for daniel and maggie . dario : i know . nicole : because of deimos kiriakis , daniel 's mother , the sweetest woman on the planet may never walk again . i wanted to cut that bastard off at the knees for what he did to her , and you want to know what 's killing me ? before i gave a damn about anyone but myself , i would 've made it happen , and now , i do n't know , it 's like i lost my mojo . i 'm not the same person . dario : is that a bad thing ? nicole : i do n't know . since i lost daniel , i do n't -- i do n't know who i -- who i am anymore , what i want . it 's like my new life 's goal is ... is make it through the day without falling apart . [ chuckles ] some goal , huh ? and try not to cry all night long all by myself . wake up in the morning with red , puffy eyes , and then everyone will know . dario : know what ? nicole : that i 'm a mess . that i spend most of my waking hours longing for someone who 's never gon na come back . then when i go to sleep at night -- if i 'm lucky enough to sleep , i dream about him being back , which makes waking up the worst nightmare imaginable . dario : then ... why do you care if everyone knew that ? that you 're a total mess ? nicole : because i do n't want sympathy . because i prefer to seem strong and tough . dario : you are strong and tough . crying over someone you love that much , that 's -- that 's not weakness . that 's life . nicole : thank you . thank you for putting things into perspective . you know , when i was with daniel , he made me feel like a really worthwhile person , and i actually respected myself for the first time ever . now ... dario : what ? nicole : i was pretending with deimos ... to avenge maggie , so i did it for daniel 's sake , but still , i -- i felt cheap . it was awful , and i know daniel would n't want me to feel like this . he would n't want me to hate myself . dario : no , he would n't , so stop . i mean it . stop beating yourself up , nicole . i know you may not be able to see it right now , but when a con goes south , you just got to cut your losses and walk away ... and that 's what you need to do . you leave this game with deimos behind , and you move on to the life you want to live .

[ wolf howls ] hope : i am pretty sure the only thing chad and gabi are thinking about right now is how they 're going to make it back to salem . abigail : well , if they are in danger , i 'm actually really glad that they have each other . they make a really great team , you know ? i found that out the hard way . hope : what do you mean ? abigail : when gabi and i were poisoned , chad was given the antidote to save one of us , and when he came to me first , i thought that that meant he loved me more . but now i see that he and gabi just have a really special connection , and he knew that he could count on her in a way that he could n't with me . hope : i - i do n't know anything about that . but what i do know is that chad no intention of giving up on his marriage to you . he loves you . abigail : he loves gabi too . okay , please , i know you 're trying to help . i really -- i do n't want to argue about it . i ... have accepted the fact that things are over for me and chad . hope : okay , maybe you have . but maybe what 's happened will make him realize he can give you his heart . his whole heart . abigail : or , maybe , it 'll make him realize that he ca n't . that his heart is with gabi 100 % . jj : i 'm surprised you did n't stay back with gabi . seems like you two did n't waste any time reconnecting . chad : well , why do n't we just focus on finding eli ?

abigail : i do n't know . maybe he was relieved . you know , if he 's not married to me , that means he can be with gabi , right ? dario : i doubt that . abigail : i just hate the thought that he ... dario : that what ? abigail : that he thinks badly of me . that he does n't understand why i left . i mean , even though he still left gabi , he was willing to try to make it work for me -- with me , and i would n't let him , so maybe i was being selfish ?

xander : your grandson brady , daniel , your great - nephew sonny ... you give them an incredible amount of leeway . i mean , daniel 's not even a kiriakis . but i make one mistake -- your nephew , your blood -- and i can literally feel your anger from where i 'm standing . i promise i 'll never go near daniel 's girlfriend again . victor : no , you wo n't . i ca n't afford to have some screw - up around the house who thinks he can change the rules anytime he damn well pleases . i wo n't say it a third time . you 're out . now go ! xander : uncle ... victor : finish your business here in town , give me my cut , and then leave salem -- for good . xander : but if i -- victor : good - bye , alexandros . ben : what 's will gon na be saying about you ? please tell me this is not some kind of hit piece . because if he thinks he can just start writing things -- clyde : hey , do n't go blaming will . he 's just doing his -- what do you call -- due diligence . ben : meaning ? clyde : meaning that he took himself down to poplar bluff and started asking around about me . ben : seriously ? all that way , trying to dig up dirt ? clyde : well , i 'm sure he felt he was just doing his job . but the point is this : you know that i 've made a lot of changes in my life , right -- the drinking , my attitude , the way i treat my children . but there 's still some folks down there that do n't take too kindly to hearing my name . ben : and will made sure he found them . clyde : i 'm sure it was n't all that hard . you know , the mean , drunken fool i used to be still sticks with some people . ben : that 's old news . you 're not even like that anymore . i 'm sure will has to know that . clyde : i really appreciate the support , ben . thank you . but my guess is that if he 's half the writer his grandma kate is , he 'll put out an article that 's fair , honest , and one that proves that people can change . ben : yeah , some people can . clyde : what 's wrong ? hey , whatever it is , my guess -- it has something to do with abigail . ben : [ sighs ] [ dramatic music ] daniel : and remember : someone 's always with you even if you 're by the pool , not just when you 're swimming , okay ?

oh , yeah . you know what ? hold on . i have to tell eric what you just told me . he 's a little upset about that elephant statue you gave him . it broke . eric : well , that 's ... believe me , no great loss . daniel : well , yeah , but parker , he really liked his elephant . did n't you ? yes . but that 's no problem . it 's just a little split , and i am gon na fix it . right ? but i 'm curious . what 's up with that little secret storage compartment ? eric : secret ... i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you 're talking about . serena : eric , if i told you , you would be in so much danger . let go of me . xander : i gave you your cut . stop stalling . serena : i 'm not stalling . xander : stop playing me ! serena : xander is insane . i need to figure out a way to neutralize him . nicole : xander must have killed someone while he was still alexandros ... in scotland . oh , damn . if i could just get one of those files and add it to what i already overheard between serena and xander , i would -- sally : nicole . nicole : [ yells ] oh . sally : miles says you 're needed . nicole : [ groans ] xander : [ grunts ] son of a bitch ! think you can stab me in the back , huh ?

[ sighs ] great . sally : here 's where the guy will be waiting for you . nicole : okay . sally : 15 minutes . nicole : thank you , sally . you know what ? i think we should keep this on the qt , okay ? i 'm gon na go through the tunnel by the old tape vaults and slip out by the concourse . and i 'm gon na leave the light on in my office so it still looks like i 'm working . and if anyone calls , i 'm in a meeting , okay ? sally : you got it . have fun . nicole : yeah . fun . [ sighs ] clyde : i thought things were going great with you and abigail . ben : no , they are . they 're okay . it 's just that she 's been really swamped at work , and ... i think something happened with her family , but ... she says she ca n't talk about it . clyde : hmm . ben : maybe it 's something with her brother . clyde : the druggie ? ben : jj 's not a druggie . clyde : well , he was arrested a while back , was n't he ? for dealing ? ben : how would you even know about that ? clyde : i think kate mentioned it to me once . you know her son lucas is that boy 's uncle . ben : yeah , well , jj 's been clean for a while now , okay ? clyde : good to hear . we all make mistakes , especially at that age . sounds like he 's got himself a whole new set of problems . ben : abigail 's really protective of him . clyde : oh . like tammy . like jordan always was with you . ben : [ sighs ] clyde : this thing with abigail 's really eating at you , is n't it ? ben : i just want to be there for her . it 's like she 's completely closing me out . clyde : well , she 'll come around ... once she sees how much you -- are you sure this is n't about chad dimera ? ben : why would you think this is about chad dimera ? clyde : well , he 's been sniffing around your girl , has n't he ? ever since he screwed things up with your sister -- ben : i do n't give a damn what chad does . abigail is with me . clyde : still , dimera loves getting under your skin . ben : i 'm not gon na let him . clyde : does n't mean he wo n't stop trying . he 'll probably make some kind of play for abigail . and sometimes that girl does n't look where she 's going . ben : dad , i told you : she felt bad for him because his sister died . that 's the only reason why she made contact . clyde : sounds to me like kristen dimera was one sick pup . ben : she was still chad 's sister . clyde : still , that 's no reason for you or abigail to trust that boy . you know , i was n't gon na say anything , but perhaps i should . nobody paid much attention to it when it happened , but a few months ago , chad and his fat - cat daddy bought sonix magazine . ben : wait , wait , wait . what ? they own the magazine ? clyde : yeah , and i 'm sure they wanted to do a hatchet job on me . so when i say do n't trust a dimera , you need to pay attention . [ tender music ] abigail : [ sighs ] chad : [ sighs ] [ both breathing heavily ] abigail : chad , we should n't have -- eric : so in the statue ... a secret hiding place . you want to go back to the park or maybe down by the river ? serena : do n't take this the wrong way , but could we go to your place ? eric : what she really wanted to find was that elephant statue . serena : wait . this can not be your entire collection . where 's the rest of it ? do n't tell me you gave it all away when you became a priest . you gave it away ? our elephant , the one we bought together ? so i just found out by accident that you gave daniel the elephant statue and that parker totally loves it . eric : [ laughs ] that 's right . serena : i feel like such a brat for hounding you . eric : well , i would n't say that . maybe a little persistent . 'cause something was in that compartment . [ dramatic music ] xander : what the hell are you saying ? how much does eric know ? serena : well , he got the little photograph that you sent over , the one of you and me in bed . maybe next time , you want to think before you decide to play one of your little mind games . xander : so all he knows is that you jumped into bed with me after he ran off to play priest . so what ? did you tell him anything about what we were up to ? serena : of course not . you think i 'd tell him about the diamonds ? xander : better not have ... assuming you want him to keep breathing . what the hell is this even about anyway ? as long as eric 's clueless , what 's the problem ? serena : the problem is , you ruined my life ! xander : oh , you mean your happily - ever - after fantasy with an ex - priest who thinks you 're this sweet little thing ? if that was n't so pathetic , i 'd laugh . serena : shut up . xander : face it , serena . the only person that ruined your life ... was you , a long time ago . nicole : oh , great . the guy 's a no - show . [ groans ] five minutes . i 'm gon na give him five minutes , and then i 'm out of here . this was stupid in the first place . you know what ? i 'm gon na give him two minutes . that 's it , okay ? there 's no sense in getting caught out here in a -- ben : it does n't make sense . why would the dimeras buy a magazine just to do some hit piece on you ? clyde : stefano ca n't stand the idea that kate 's with me now , for starters . ben : she 's his ex . clyde : yeah , along with about a dozen other women , from what i hear . but the point is , i 'm sure chad was egging him on to get that article written . ben : mm , because making you look bad might give abigail second thoughts . son of a bitch . dad , believe me , it wo n't . abigail and i are solid . clyde : well , i hope i 'm not out of line with this , but maybe there 's a way you could make yourself more sure of that . ben : sorry ? clyde : next time you see that pretty girl ... why do n't you try and see if you can make it permanent ? [ tender music ] abigail : [ sighs ] uh , chad , i need to go home . chad : no , no , no , no , no . that 's not what you want . you know that 's not what you want . you want to stay ... with me . serena : [ sighs ] my god . can this day get any worse ? i just have to figure out a way to fix things , you know , just get him to trust me , to go away with me . that 's ... [ knock at door ] serena : eric , thank god . i was so worried about you when you left . i was just about to text you . eric : you were ? what were you gon na say ? were you gon na offer me some sort of explanation , maybe even the truth about you and xander ? it 's all right , serena . relax . you do n't have to explain . i know everything . [ dramatic music ] nicole : daniel , what -- what are you doing here ? oh . you 're the one who texted miles ? you pretended to have information on salem power and light . really ? why would you do that ? daniel : well , i did n't have a choice . nicole : excuse me ? daniel : i knew you worked the story last fall . you could n't stop talking about it , and you were upset that you did n't get enough information . plus , i knew that you worked it alone , which meant ... nicole : i would definitely come -- and be alone . daniel : with me , face - to - face . well , you know , since we 're here , why do n't you tell me what 's going on , hmm ? what 's really going on ? nicole : no . no , i ca n't . daniel , do n't you remember ? i would get in touch with you in a couple of days , and then i would explain the whole thing . daniel : yup , that 's not good enough . nicole : daniel , please , i am trying -- daniel : oh , i am sick of you continually avoiding this issue . i want you to tell me what 's going on with you and xander . just talk -- talk to me . ben : dad , are you ... clyde : if you 're serious about abigail , what 's to stop you from taking the next step ? ben : by asking her to marry me ? clyde : if it 's what you want . ben : i 'm in school , and i work in a nightclub . clyde : yeah , but you got a daddy who 's more than willing to make sure you have a happy married life . you want a great big ring ? you got it . afterward , whatever you and your bride need , it 's done -- if that 's what you really want . ben : [ sighs ] clyde : what ? you thinking maybe that 's not what abigail wants ? [ tender music ] abigail : [ sighs ] chad , what we did -- chad : was perfect . abigail : [ sighs ] i have to go . i need to -- chad : no , what you need , okay , what you want ... is for me to take you upstairs and make love to you all night long . and that ... is exactly what i 'm gon na do . [ chuckles ] serena : i 'm confused . you know all about what ? i told you about the short affair that xander and i had , and that picture is just some stupid selfie that he took . eric : i know about the elephant statue . serena : i 'm sorry ? eric : right there , the elephant . right there . the one with the hidden compartment inside . serena : hidden ... eric : skip the lies , serena . you know exactly what i 'm talking about . what did you hide inside here so i could bring it back in the country for you ? serena : eric -- eric : coming to salem , pretended to love me so you ... serena : no ! eric : could get your hands on it . 'cause you were absolutely desperate . so what was in there ? serena : eric , i came to salem for my job and to see if you and i had -- eric : stop ! just stop with the lying . did xander know what was hidden inside this elephant ? of course he did . i mean , look at you two , just laughing it up . so why do n't you explain to me ? why do n't you tell me what was inside ? nicole : okay , daniel , here 's what i can tell you : i 'm busy . daniel : you 're too busy to be honest with me ? nicole : but you are the one who dragged me out of my office , where , incidentally , i was hot on the trail of ... none of your business . you know , what you did was some stupid trick , which i 'm sure you thought was brilliant . daniel : it was . it worked , did n't it ? [ laughs ] because you are such a sucker for a secret . but i 'm not . why do n't you give me five minutes -- nicole : no . daniel : just five minutes . nicole : no . i told you -- a few days . daniel : okay . if that 's what you want . nicole : thank you . i 'm going back to my office . daniel : but know this , because i sure do : i have given you every chance in the world to come clean about what 's going on with xander . and i have gotten nothing but evasive maneuvers and a lot of silence . so this is it , nicole . i 'm done . nicole : oh , stop . stop ! daniel , why is everything so black - and - white with you ? daniel : well , because either you care about -- nicole : all right , that was a rhetorical question . daniel : oh , hmm . nicole : all right , when -- when is parker going back to chloe 's ? daniel : tomorrow . nicole : can you at least give me until then ? i have to get all my ducks in a row . please ? daniel , things are n't what you think they are . but i need facts . and then you 'll know i 'm not just talking . and then we can meet somewhere out of the way -- just us , okay ? daniel : nicole , is something wrong ? you keep looking around . nicole : i 'm not exactly thrilled to be out in public with you . i do n't think i was followed , but i ca n't be sure . daniel : something is wrong . nicole : yes , and tomorrow you will understand . but until then ... trust in this . [ dramatic music ] serena : eric ... you have to believe me . i -- i did n't know there was a secret compartment . eric : bull . serena : i do n't know what else to say . can -- can we please just let this go ? the important thing is that i love you . eric : i do n't want to let this go . i want to know what was inside this statue . wow . whatever was inside here was definitely more important to you than i am . nicole : now , with that being said , i 'm going back to work . daniel : now , i am gon na hold you to that promise . i get everything tomorrow . nicole : [ chuckles ] absolutely . daniel : thank you . nicole : mm - hmm . daniel : but before you go , though , i want you to understand something . nicole : what ? daniel : how much i love you . ben : dad , a few weeks ago , i asked abigail to move in with me , but ... clyde : she did n't want to ? ben : well , not now , not yet . so the whole idea of pushing marriage ... clyde : okay , i hear you . i guess i did n't realize she was so skittish . ben : no , it 's not that she 's -- we 've decided to take things slow . clyde : slow can be good , as long as it does n't give chad a chance to cut in . ben : not gon na happen . like i said , abigail and i are solid . i 'm not gon na let that son of a bitch take her away from me . clyde : well , all right . that 's the spirit . you hold on to that girl , son . you hold on tight .

[ unsettling music ] claire : gwen ! hi ! gwen : you 're still here ? i thought granny the wonder shrink was getting you out . claire : oh , she is , she is . yeah , i 'm sure my grandma marlena convinced my doctors that i 'm ready to go home and i 'll be hearing the good news any minute now . gwen : you think so , hey ? claire : oh , i know so . today 's the big day , gwen . the day i finally get my life back . john : hey , here you go . marlena : oh , honey , thank you so much . john : yeah , well , i figured you could use it -- what time did you turn in last night ? marlena : oh , i was up until the wee hours going over claire 's chart . john : you said that her doctors at bayview were willing to explore a supervised release if you were on board with it , and last night it seemed like you were . marlena : [ stammers ] yes , yes , i -- look , i 'm just so grateful they 're letting me weigh in at all , i mean , you know , being her grandmother and being a psychiatrist , so ... ultimately , the answer is the decision has to be up to her parents . john : i see ... and shawn and belle were gon na discuss it and get back to you asap , right ? marlena : right , they were , except that , uh , you know , with the time change , i do n't expect to hear from them for another two hours . [ knock on door ] belle : knock - knock . john : oh ho ho ho ! marlena : oh , my gosh ! oh , my gosh ! male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] john : oh , baby girl , it is so good to see you , honey . belle : oh , you too , dad . marlena : we 're surprised . we thought we were doing this on the phone . john : yeah . belle : well , it 's a pretty big decision , and , you know , it 's claire 's health . that 's her future . so shawn got a flight for both of us to come in from hong kong . john : so have you seen claire ? belle : no , not yet . marlena : is -- is shawn there with her ? belle : no , no , he went straight from the airport to go see his mom . you know , things have been , uh , a little fraught . i 've been praying for so long for claire to be well enough to come home , so when i got the call , i mean ... i was over the moon . but , uh , you know , shawn 's response was ... a little more measured . marlena : well , because he 's concerned about ciara . belle : yeah . he insisted that she and his mom be looped in before any decisions are made . john : hey , i get that . belle : yeah , i know , i do too . i do n't wan na exclude them or blindside them . i 'm just terrified that they 'll do something to keep claire from coming home . hope : oh , i was so excited and thrilled when i got your call -- i was n't expecting to see you for a few more weeks . wait a minute . you 're still coming to ciara 's wedding , right ? shawn : yeah , of course i am . hope : okay . oh . something 's wrong . shawn : no , no , actually , there 's actually good news . um ... so i was just told that claire might be released from bayview . as soon as today . hope : wow . wow . that 's wonderful . shawn : yeah , yeah , but it 's -- look , mom , it 's like it 's complicated because i know -- listen , i know there 's a part of you that 's probably thrilled ... but then there 's also a part of you that probably is a little bit -- probably a little bit worried about what that means for ciara . hope : i just was n't expecting it to happen so soon . shawn : claire 's been there for two years . and they said that she 's made some real progress . hope : i know , i saw her last week . she just did n't mention that ... she was being released . shawn : so if it -- it happened , how would you feel about that ? hope : claire 's my granddaughter , and i love her . i love her very much . and of course i wan na see her come home , but i just -- honey , are you sure she 's ready ? will ciara be safe ? ciara : we should call rafe . you know what , we should have called him yesterday when we found out that gabi was kidnapped in the first place . ben : jake said no cops . and if you remember , rafe was in court all day yesterday with david 's custody hearing . he could n't just drop everything he was doing to help us here . ciara : okay , well , someone has to help us , ben . because if we do n't find gwen , those goons are gon na make good on their threat . ben : naw , i do n't think so . they know they 're not gon na get what they want if they hurt gabi . ciara : yeah , but they had no problem hurting you when they thought you were jake . ben : ciara , they roughed me up , but it was a warning sign . we call the cops on them , and these guys panic ? might be a different story . ciara : okay , well , i mean , there must be someone else who can help us , right ? like my mom or john and steve and all their isa contacts . ben : cops , isa -- same thing . ciara : okay , but then gabi is in danger ! ben : ciara , it 's gon na be okay , all right ? i got this . you need to go to work . ciara : but ben , i ca n't -- ben : no , there 's no reason for you to lose your job over this . i 'm going in too ... okay ? and with any luck , maybe jake came up with something by now . sonny : wow , they were n't kidding . jake : can i help you ? will : yeah . where the hell is gabi hernandez ? how would i know where gabi hernandez is ? and who the hell are you two anyway ? will : i am will horton . i 'm the father of gabi 's daughter . and this is my husband sonny . jake : ah . yeah , gabi mentioned you two . sonny : yeah , well , she mentioned you to us as well . but here 's the thing : gabi 's been missing since yesterday . jake : i 'm sorry to hear that . what makes you think i know anything about it ? will : she told us she was coming here yesterday . and she has n't been seen since . gwen : well , i hope granny does come through . i know how much you want to be a part of ben and ciara 's big day . claire : okay , come on . gwen : what are you doing ? claire : look , could you actually , um , keep it on the down low that i know about the wedding ? gwen : [ whispers ] why ? claire : because , uh , i did n't exactly tell my grandma that i found the `` save the date `` card on ben 's doctor 's desk . gwen : so what ? claire : so ... i am this close to getting released , and i just do n't wan na mess anything up . gwen : why would your grandmother knowing about the card mess anything up ? claire : look , you already know some really bad stuff went down between me and ciara . it goes back to when we were kids . we were always best friends , but there was always this competition between us where ciara always won and i always lost . you know , whether it was a contest or a guy , whenever something good happened for me , ciara just had to take it away . and i , um , i did n't react well . gwen : you mean like when you tried to set her on fire ? claire : look , gwen , i told you i am not that person anymore . i have been here for two damn years working on my obsessive tendencies and thoughts , all right ? and i do not want anyone to think that this wedding is the only reason i wan na get outta here , because it 's not . and i do not want anyone to think that i 'm not better , because i am ! gwen : claire ! hang on . do n't take this the wrong way , love , but you 're starting to really sound like you 're not better right now . marlena : darling , we all want what 's best for claire . a - and you know , ciara 's doing very well right now . belle : does ... claire know that ciara 's getting married ? john : we have n't told her . belle : and you 're worried about how she 'll react . marlena : well , we were just concerned that , um , you know , when she hears about the engagement , it might set her back a little way . belle : well , i was under the impression when we talked last night that you were on board with her release . i mean , you said that you would support whatever shawn and i decide . marlena : i absolutely will . the thing is she -- you know , she 's made so much progress at this point , a - and she 's doing so well , but , um ... i think you need to know that if she 's released and she 's triggered ... well , it could set her back a ways . so if she comes home , you and shawn are gon na have to be aware that she 'll need enormous support . belle : well , of course . we 'll do whatever our daughter needs . i mean , i 'll quit my job if i have to . but ... you do n't think that 'll come to that , do you ? marlena : no ! oh , no , i hope not . belle : no , mom , you do n't think it 'll come to that because you do n't think claire 's ready to leave bayview . shawn : so apparently , claire 's doctors said that , uh , she 's doing really well and she 's exceeding expectations and , uh , claire latched on to that and she made a case to marlena and said that she 's ready to come home . but obviously , i mean , it 's for the doctors to decide . it 's not for claire . but i want to assure you that the doctors will not release her if they feel that she is a danger to anybody . hope : do you think they 're being thorough ? shawn : yes , i do . i mean , they even reached out to marlena to help make the determination . hope : and what did marlena think ? shawn : well , belle 's with her right now ... but we wan na do whatever the doctors say . but if the consensus is that claire 's ready ... how would you and ciara feel about that ? hope : there 's no one i trust more on this than marlena . so yes ... yes . shawn : okay , i just wan na make sure that ciara 's prepared , that 's all . ciara : [ small augh ] i 'm prepared for what ? [ tense music ] you probably think all pads are the same shawn : ciara ! hey , sis ! ciara : hey ! shawn : good to see you . and i hear you and i are gon na be brothers . ben : i 'm a lucky man . shawn : hey , congratulations to the both of you . ciara : yeah , thank you . so , um , why are you in town ? shawn : uh ... [ stammers ] spur of the moment sorta trip . but , hey , do n't worry . i already told mom that i 'm gon na be back for the wedding , so , uh ... wait , how is the planning going , by the way ? ben : good , good . hope 's been a huge help . ciara : yeah , can we go back to why shawn is in town ? shawn : i mean , like i said , i was -- ciara : yeah , it 's a spur - of- -the - moment thing . i heard you say that , but i also heard you and mom talking about me before . hope : hey , why do n't you tell your brother who 's officiating , 'cause it 's very exciting . ben : ah ! ciara : okay , all right . first shawn changes the subject , and now you change the subject . what is going on here ?

[ all chuckle ] marlena : kind of a cross between a mother 's day , father 's day -- john : it fell right in between both of ' em -- anyway , she was so on point , so inclusive -- belle : i ca n't remember the last mother 's day that i spent with claire . you know , it 's always a video chat or an ecard . you know , i just feel like if i would have been here , if i would have been more present for her over the last few years , i would have been able to notice that she was sick and i could have gotten her the help she needed sooner . marlena : you listen to me . i was here . i 'm a psychiatrist . i did n't see it . belle : i am her mother ! i 'm supposed to know that ! john : no , no , no , no , stop right there , sweetheart . you 're a wonderful mother . belle : well , the evidence would indicate otherwise . marlena : you did nothing to cause this to happen to your daughter . belle : i just -- i still feel terrible . marlena : well , feeling terrible wo n't solve it . what we need now is a plan going forward . belle : as long as it leads to claire being healthy and back home . claire : are you calling me crazy ? gwen : now , claire , you know we do n't use that word in here . claire : oh , fine . are you calling me disturbed ? gwen : i do n't know , you 're just kind of being a little bit intense right now is all . claire : yeah , because i need you to keep quiet . gwen : okay , yeah , got it . do n't talk about the wedding . claire : i swear to god , gwen , if you say a single word to anyone -- gwen : what is there to say ? that you want to be a part of your bff / aunty- whatever - her - name is ciara 's big day to make up for what you did ? it 's kinda sweet , actually . claire : oh ho . i should have never trusted a psycho with my secret . gwen : do you wan na know my secret ? i 'm actually not a psycho . or crazy . or deranged . in fact ... [ whispering ] i should n't even bloody be in here . claire : w - where ... where have i heard that before ? oh ! oh , yeah , that 's right . everyone else in this place . gwen : [ giggles ] except in my case , it 's true . okay ? i faked a breakdown to get myself committed . claire : ho ho ! ho ho ! now , that ... is crazy . gwen : uh - huh . well , why not ? look at this -- i 've got a roof over my head and free yoga and green jell - o every night . ah , what more could a girl want ? perfect hiding place , really . claire : hiding place ? who are you hiding from ? gwen : my ex - boyfriend . jake : gabi told you she was coming here ? will : did you see her ? jake : i did not . sonny : sure about that ? jake : think i 'd remember . will : you know ... gabi told us that you look a lot like her dead ex - husband . sonny : we just did n't realize that you look exactly like him . will : gabi 's been kind of obsessed with the idea that stefan is still alive . jake : no kiddin ' . i 've told her a million times i 'm not him , but she refuses to believe me . and apparently , this dr . rolf guy is turning this town into the walking dead . but bringin ' back a heartless guy -- come on . will : you 're the heartless one . gabi was destroyed when stefan died , and you could n't help her out . you could n't give her a little piece of mind by agreeing to a simple dna test ? jake : i hate needles . will : gabi does n't need your blood -- your hair , your saliva will do just fine . but you already know that , do n't you ? you caught her in the act yesterday , did n't you ? yeah , you were so desperate to stop her from getting a dna sample that you -- jake : that 's where my toothbrush went ! will : so gabi was here . i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis . at humana , we believe your healthcare should evolve with you . and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you . humana can help . with original medicare , you 're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits , but you 'll have to pay a deductible for each . a medicare supplement plan can cover your deductibles and co - insurance , but you may pay higher premiums and still not get prescription drug coverage . but with an all - in - one humana medicare advantage plan , you could get all that coverage plus part d prescription drug benefits . you get all this coverage for as low as a $ 0 monthly plan premium in many areas . and humana has a large network of doctors and hospitals , so call or go online today . find out if your doctor is part of the humana network and get your free decision guide . discover how an all - in - one humana medicare advantage plan could save you money . there is no obligation , so call or go online right now . introducing new voltaren arthritis pain gel , ciara : i knew that claire would be released one day . i just -- i -- i did n't know that that day would be now . hope : it might not be . ciara : who 's making the call ? hope : claire 's doctor 's and marlena . ben : dr. evans is involved ? hope : she 's consulting . at bayview 's request . ben : but she 's not pulling strings because claire 's her granddaughter ? hope : absolutely not . you know that the last thing marlena would ever want is for claire to be released unless she was absolutely ready . ciara : yeah , yeah . but is she ready , mom ? hope : to be honest with you , they have n't made that determination ... yet . but shawn has assured me that there is no way her doctors would ever allow her to be released ... unless she was 100 % okay . okay ? ciara : yeah . hope : baby ... claire 's my granddaughter , and i love her . i love her very much . but you ... my priority is protecting you , ciara . you never have to see her again if you do n't want to . you do n't , okay ? ciara : wow , ben , i 'm sorry . ben : for what ? ciara : my reaction ... i mean , yes , i 'm freaked out by the news , but i am also a firm believer that one can recover from a mental illness . [ sniffles ] just like you did . ben : i know . ciara : and i only want the same thing to happen for claire . ben : so do i ... but after what happened with jordan tricking her doctors into thinking she was well , i -- hope : yeah , but that 's not going to happen with claire . not with marlena involved . ben : i hope not . i hope they 're not rushing this . 'cause what happened with my sister caused a lot of people pain . a lot of people . marlena : darling , what i 'm saying is that claire has made amazing progress . and she may well be ready to come home . but she 's not cured . and she may require ... outpatient therapy a better part of her adult life . belle : and i am prepared to make that happen whenever she 's released . but i -- if you 're not 100 % sure that claire 's ready , i mean , maybe this should n't happen . marlena : well , there are drawbacks ... to continue inpatient therapy . john : yeah , like what ? marlena : well , if claire feels that she 's not making progress , she could feel defeated and she could regress . belle : so we 're damned if we do and we 're damned if we don't . you know , if we leave her in there , she could just get fed up and backslide and then ... you know , i think about jordan ridgeway and she was released before she was ready , and she wound up dead . marlena : and for every jordan , there is a ben . belle : oh ! okay , so we want claire to end up like ben weston ? he 's a pariah ! i do n't want that . marlena : now , you listen to me ... ben made it . ben is fine , and he 's fine ... because he listened to his doctors . he listened to me . he followed instructions . he had therapy . he took his meds , and he is thriving . john : a true success story , honey . belle : okay , so in your professional opinion , which one is claire ? is she a jordan or is she a ben ? claire : you 're hiding from your ex ? did he ... gwen : hit me ? no . but he did hang out with some seriously scary blokes . claire : is that why it ended between you ? gwen : [ laughs ] no , that 's not why it ended between us . it ended between us because a , he 's scum , and b , we fought too much . and ... one night we ... really went at it . and ... he stormed out and ... he said he did n't know when he was coming back . and ... i did n't want to deal with that , so i left . claire : well , good for you . gwen : yeah , not exactly , though . 'cause , um , then he started phoning me and texting me and he was basically stalking me . claire : oh , well , maybe that 's his way of saying he wants to get back together ? gwen : no . he just wants his stuff back . claire : what stuff ? gwen : well ... when i left , i wanted to make him suffer for what he did to me , so ... just helped myself to a few of his favorite things . will : you did see gabi . i knew it . i knew it . jake : no , i did not see her . i also did n't see my toothbrush when i woke up this morning . clearly , the crazy bitch broke in here and -- will : do not talk about the mother of my daughter that way . jake : oh , i 'm sorry . uh ... lying thief ? is that better ? sonny : so wait , you have a toothbrush here at the garage ? jake : i live in the apartment upstairs . will : you live here . and you work here . so how could you not have seen gabi come through here ? jake : well , i 'm not a hermit . i do get out sometimes . gabi must have broken in here when i was gone , took my toothbrush and took off . will : you 're lying . claire : i ca n't believe i 've known you for a couple of months . i mean , i know that you hate ketchup and i know that you bite your nails when you 're nervous . but i am only just now figuring out why you 're really here . gwen : you never asked . claire : yeah , that 's one of the things i 'm working on in therapy , actually . giving more thought to the people around me . gwen : does this mean i can have your jell - o tonight , then ? claire : oh , sure . because i will not be here . gwen : [ laughs ] hey ... do n't forget me when you 're on the outside . yeah ? claire : hopefully , you 'll be out soon too . how long are you planning to hide out here for ? gwen : mmm ... do n't know . i have n't really thought about my next move yet . claire . claire : yeah ? gwen : promise me you wo n't say anything . claire : of course . you keep my secret , and i 'll keep yours . marlena : no , no , no , claire is not a ben or a jordan . claire is her own person with her own therapeutic trajectory . belle : oh , my god , mom , all the shrink - speak is making me insane . marlena : okay , i 'm sor -- all i want i -- i do n't want you to have too unrealistic an expectation . [ knock on door ] john : hey , shawn . good to see you , man . shawn : good to see you . belle : hey . shawn : hi . belle : so ? what 'd your mom say ? shawn : basically that , uh , she trusts whatever marlena thinks is best for claire . belle : okay , well , that 's great except my mom does n't know what that is . john : sweetheart , she 's doing the best she can -- she just ca n't predict the future . belle : all right , okay . all right , i have one question then . if claire were n't your granddaughter , if she were anybody else ... what would you do ? ben : i know they 're saying claire 's okay ... but she tried to kill ciara . twice , hope , so if there 's any doubts that this could go wrong -- ciara : you know what , ben , i ... i love you so much for being so protective of me . but i really think that i should treat claire the same way that i treated you . that i need to give her the benefit of the doubt . i do . ben : and i love how loyal you are and your support , ciara , i do -- i would n't be alive without it . i 'm grateful for it , but ... you and claire ... you have a lot of history . and her envy and her rage -- ciara : i know . ben : runs so deep . ciara : i know , and i know that it is hard to see that she might be able to get over that , but ... i do n't know , ben . i think that maybe we should trust her doctors . ben : can you do that ? ciara : i can try . but i meant what i said yesterday when we were talking about our bridal party . i do miss claire . i miss her . i miss having a best friend . i - i miss it and ... i know that things may never get back to what they used to be , but ... in spite of all of that , ben , i still love her . and i really want what 's best for her . hope : i know you do . ciara : yeah . hope : because you have a very kind a forgiving heart , ciara alice . baby , this is such a special time in your life -- getting married . i do n't want anything that 's happening with claire to dim that happiness in any way . ciara : it won't . hope : okay . ciara : i wo n't let it . hope : okay . i 'm looking forward to shopping for dresses this weekend with you . ciara : oh , i am too . hope : yeah ? ciara : yeah . hope : why do n't you seem very excited about it , hmm ? ciara : oh , no , i am excited , mom . hope : you do n't need to pretend that you 're okay with claire being released if you 're not . ciara : um ... ha . it 's actually not that . i , uh ... i actually have something else on my mind . hope : what is it ? jake : why do you think i 'm lying ? will : i 'm a reporter , and in my experience , when people lie , they squirm . they also sweat like you 're doing right now . jake : it 's got ta be 90 degrees in here . will : you know , another thing liars do is , uh , they avoid eye contact . jake : oh , okay , clark kent . well , if you 're such an expert on body language , you should be getting the hint right about now i want you to leave . will : we 're not going anywhere until you tell us where gabi is . jake : for the last time , i do n't know where she is , so if you really wan na find her , you should stop wasting my time and -- sonny : you know what , he 's obviously not gon na tell us anything , so why do n't we just call the police and report gabi as a missing person ? jake : no , no , no -- don't . will : hmm . why should n't we go to the police ? jake : because then you 'd have to tell them the circumstances of gabi 's disappearance . sonny : so ? jake : so , gabi broke in here . that 's a crime , right ? she 's out on bail , is n't she ? you do n't want her to go back behind bars . will : how do you know gabi 's out on bail ? jake : ben told me , all right ? she 's probably out there right now harassing some lab tech . so maybe try -- i do n't know -- a hospital , a lab , maybe a cheap motel . how about the gutter ? will : okay . yeah , you 're right , this jerk is useless . jake : i told you everything i know . will : sure . but y - you know what ? before we leave , do you mind if we take a look around ? claire : sorry . it 's just i thought i would have heard from my grandma by now , you know , that i 'm leaving . gwen : you know what you need ? you need a distraction . come to arts & crafts with me . claire : ugh . gwen : come on . you know you wan na make one of these -- boop , boop , boop . claire : thank you but , uh , i think i 'm gon na have to pass .

[ scene_break ] [ gavel bangs ] abby : i ca n't believe it . i mean , i asked for a miracle for dad and did n't get it , then i asked for a miracle for chelsea . maybe god 's finally answering my prayers . jennifer : shh . let 's hear what he says . bettis : i object , your honor . the state has a very strong case against the defendant . dismissing these charges would be a miscarriage of justice . judge lawler : order . order , please . i 'm not finished . since i was just assigned the case , i 'm unfamiliar with the parties involved . therefore , i wo n't see the jury . today we 'll hold an informal hearing so that i can be brought up to speed . would the d.a . and the counsel for the defense please approach ? everyone , relax till we get started . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : this is strange . hope : i wonder what this means for chelsea . shawn d. : i do n't know . i 'll throw her in jail if i have to do it myself .. i do n't care what dad says . [ scene_break ] chelsea : dad , what 's going on ? does this mean i do n't have to have a trial ? bo : i would n't count on it . this judge is tough . plus , he had a grandson who was killed by a hit - and - run driver . chelsea : good , then i 'm dead . [ scene_break ] kate : [ thinking ] well , i have n't heard from eve yet . if she could n't destroy the evidence , it 's gon na be too late for chelsea . billie : mom , you want to tell me what 's going on now ? kate : i do n't know what 's going on . we 're just gon na have to hope for the best . billie : but you are involved in this somehow , are n't you ? kate : billie , how could i possibly be involved in this ? billie : mother , did n't you once bribe a judge to have shawn thrown in jail ? and now we have a new judge on the case , and he 's stopping this in a bizarre way . kate : like i would have -- want the toughest judge in salem assigned to chelsea 's case . come on . i have no idea what 's going on here . [ scene_break ] frankie : thank you , your honor . [ gavel bangs ] judge lawler : order . let 's proceed . i would like to begin the hearing by calling hope brady , mother of the deceased victim , zack brady . chelsea : god help me . hope : this is ... was ... my son zack . today would have been his 6th birthday . but today there is no cake ... no presents ... no party with family and friends . zack wo n't get to blow out his candles and make a wish ... but i know what his wish would have been ... to grow up and make this world a better place . and he would have . but all of his dreams ... all of our dreams for his future were taken away from us . zack was tragically killed by chelsea brady . i 'm not here today to testify because i want revenge . my grandfather , tom horton , always told me to keep love in my heart ... to always show mercy ... because , in the end , only ... only god can judge a person 's sins . as a mother ... [ crying ] i lost my most precious gift ... my child . i 'll never be able to tell him how much i love him again . never be able to hold him in my arms ... and nothing will ever bring him back . but if chelsea brady goes free , i swear to god , i truly believe that she will end up hurting someone else if what she 's done goes unpunished . your honor , i want her to learn from this horrific tragedy . i hope to god that we all have . your honor ... i know chelsea 's fate is up to you ... but my son will only rest in peace when justice is done . judge lawler : thank you . you may take your seat . kate : and she says she does n't want revenge . please . i 'm afraid the judge is gon na nail chelsea . judge lawler : i 'd like to call the victim 's father , also the defendant 's father , bo brady . bo : in the few short years that zack was with us , he touched a lot of lives . abe and lexie carver had the privilege of raising him his first year , and then he came to us at a very difficult time . and , um ... he made our life and our family complete . he was a big boy , not a baby anymore , as he would continually remind us -- you know , he 's reading and telling jokes , looking forward to kindergarten . it 's hard to believe we 're , uh ... living our lives without our little tiny man . but , um ... he 'll always be with us in our hearts . 'cause family is important to us , and we always try to be there for each other no matter what . and i could n't be there for him , um .... right there when he died ... and that 's ... [ voice breaking ] i 'll never be able to forgive myself for that . i 'm sorry . um ... all i can do is what ... i think ... he would want me to do . he loved his big sister , and she loved him . and i do n't believe he would want the tragedy of his death to cause another tragedy for his family . so , your honor , i 'm asking you to show chelsea justice and also leniency because , yes , she is partly responsible for what happened , but i am mostly responsible . so if someone needs to be punished , if someone needs to go to prison , let it be me . [ scene_break ] belle : here , drink this . what happened ? mimi : i do n't know . all of a sudden , i could n't catch my breath . belle : well , you said something earlier about not deserving to have shawn 's baby . what was that ? mimi : oh , i feel really sick . i feel really sick . what if i 'm losing this baby , belle ? belle : are you having cramps ? um ... maybe you 're having morning sickness . mimi : what ? you think i 'm pregnant ? you think it worked ? belle : well , if you 're nauseated , it could mean that your hormones are trying to support a pregnancy . mimi , morning sickness is a good sign . mimi : oh , my god . that is the best news of my life ! i 'm gon na go throw up . [ scene_break ] e.j . : yes , dr . carver , samantha had told me about your cancer scare . lexie : if i did n't know you better , sami , i 'd think you actually cared . sami : if lexie dies , it will be on your head . no sin goes unpunished . change your ways before it 's too late . sami : of course i care , lexie . i only told e.j . , though , about your situation because he said he wanted to make a donation , right ? e.j . : right . it 's a great cause . i also , by the way , think that it 'd be wonderful p.r . for the hospital and for breast - cancer awareness if you 'd consider being the face of the public - relations campaign . a doctor as a patient , if you will . you know , we can follow you through the whole process -- the mammogram , et cetera , et cetera . you could educate a tremendous number of people . i really feel that this could benefit a lot of women . lexie : no , it 'd be a waste of resources . coffee ? e.j . : thank you . lexie : look , i underwent all the tests . i do n't have cancer . e.j . : but do n't you also think it 'd be worthwhile to show that even a doctor values the importance of getting a second opinion ? the message that we 're trying to get across here is that women ca n't be too careful about their health . when it comes to breast - cancer screening , it 's so incredibly important . lexie : well , yes , i agree . e.j . : good . so will you agree to have a retest ? come on . lexie : all right . okay , sure . it 's for a good cause . e.j . : bravo . thank you . lexie : yeah . e.j . : well , ladies , if you do n't mind , i 'm gon na go and make the necessary arrangements . lexie : okay , sami , he 's gone , so you can stop with the lies . what the hell are you up to now ? [ scene_break ] lexie : how did you convince e.j . to go along with your plan ? what are you trying to get out of this ? sami : i had nothing to do with this . lexie : you confronted me in the ladies ' room at chez rouge and hounded me about retaking my medical test . then all of a sudden , you show up with this e.j . guy , and he wants me to retake the test . you 're telling me this is a complete coincidence ? sami : this was not my idea . e.j . donates money to charity all the time , and you can find out for yourself on the web . it 's true . look , lexie , he came up with this all on his own , but it 's a really good idea , is n't it ? lexie : sami , he seems like a nice guy , so do him a favor . stay out of his life . sami : wait a second . this is just business . we work together , lexie . lexie : oh , yeah , right . sami : i 'm engaged to austin . i 'm not a cheater . lexie : oh , come on , sami . we both know you 're hedging your bets for when austin finds out about all your lies and manipulation -- blackmail . sami : if that happens , you can bet that abe will find out about your affair with tek . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] e.j . : hi . so , um , dr . carver , they 're ready for your retest now . lexie : wow , that was fast . e.j . : well , that 's my profession -- speed , that is . i do n't like to waste time , so i wrote them a very generous check . lexie : that was very nice of you . i ... guess i 'll go and do my part now . e.j . : thank you . sami : e.j . , e.j . , you 're incredible . thank you . e.j . : i did it for you , samantha , because of what you said about wanting to commit yourself to being a good person . but there is one thing . why is it so important to you that lexie retake the medical test ? [ scene_break ] jack : so the bad news is i 'm dying , huh ? not that , that 's news . i 'm quite used to it , actually . it 's june . i must be dying again . dr. butler : your immune system is breaking down . i 'm sorry , jack . the prognosis is not good . i think it 's time to start that hospice care we talked about . we 'll get you a new room as soon as one becomes available . i wish i could do more . jack : well , at least jennifer wo n't have to know that i 'm dying all over again . [ scene_break ] judge lawler : now , why do you think you should be the one punished for your daughter 's actions , detective brady ? bo : because i 'm the one who signed the release form allowing her to drive after she had lost her license . i loaned her my s.u.v . that night , so it 's my fault . i 'm the reason zack is dead . judge lawler : i understand you feel responsible as a father , detective , however you are not criminally liable . you were n't the one that was reaching for a cellphone . you were n't the one that took your eyes off of the road and killed an innocent young victim . you were not the hit - and - run driver who left the scene and then lied to the police about it , were you ? bo : i did lie to the police , yes , to try to protect my daughter . your honor , i 'm the adult here . i should have known better . i should have taught my daughter better . and we 've all been punished the worst punishment possible . we lost zack . yes , your honor , chelsea has to be held responsible for her actions in this accident , but she 's sorry . she did n't know she had hit her little brother -- my son . jennifer : bo 's trying to do the right thing . hope : we 'll see . judge lawler : the court thanks you for your honesty and candor , detective brady . you may be seated . and before i hear from the defendant , chelsea brady , i want to see the evidence against her . bettis : i have a video disc right here , your honor . i believe the court will find the evidence so conclusive and so incriminating that there is no way you 'll find the defendant not guilty . judge lawler : i 'll be the one to judge that -- no pun intended . set it up , please . let 's have a look . frankie : there 's still time to change your plea , throw yourself on the mercy of the court before the judge looks at that disc . chelsea : no . no , i 'm not gon na change my plea . bettis : ready , your honor . judge lawler : proceed . [ scene_break ] belle : all right , i think if we start with some peppermint tea , that will probably help settle your stomach . mimi : no . no peppermint . i once had a peppermint - schnapps hangover in college , and i feel just like i did then . belle : okay . all right , well , here , sit down , and i 'll get you some ginger tea . you know , ginger is actually a known remedy for nausea . mimi : belle , i do n't think there 's anything left in my stomach . that 's why i could n't throw up . belle : mimi , you have to eat something . now , i know that you really like chocolate croissants -- mimi : [ groans ] belle : yeah . mimi : no , that 's the last thing i need . are n't i supposed to have , like , crackers or applesauce ? belle : well , yeah . and see , java café has this really awesome dish for pregnant women , which is why i brought you here . mimi : what is it ? belle : well , it has bananas and coconut milk with maple syrup , flaxseed . mimi : oh , god . belle : no , no , no . listen , mimi , listen . the potassium from the bananas , it helps release all your aches and pains . and then the coconut milk , it helps build body mass for the baby . and then maple syrup -- yum . and it 's way better than regular sugar . and then the flaxseed oil , it has all these essential fatty acids . mimi : belle , i do n't think there is any way i could keep that down right now , sorry . i hate to even think about complaining , but please , god , tell me i 'm not gon na feel like this for nine months . belle : no , actually , morning sickness usually only lasts for the first trimester . mimi : i 'll probably have it the whole time and still gain a ton of weight . just watch . it 'll be so worth it if -- belle : oh , god , mimi , just sit back . here , take some deep breaths . mimi : i feel like i 'm gon na die . i feel like i 'm gon na die !

stefano : i told him to manage his feelings , all right ? obviously , i did n't do it strongly enough , because he asked you for a divorce , and now he wants to go to the other one . nicole : the other one 's name is taylor , and do you have any idea what a disaster this is ? stefano : yes , i do have an idea . exactly . and you did not help the situation at all . nicole : me ? stefano : yes , you . all right ? if you came screaming to me in the beginning instead of after the fact ... nicole : wait a minute . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . so you knew ? stefano : that you 're blackmailing my son ? yes . nicole : well , then why did n't you come after me yourself ? stefano : [ chuckles ] i thought about it a few times . nicole : look , i was just using this as leverage . i was n't trying to ruin ej . i just thought if i threatened him , he would stay away from taylor . stefano : mm , obviously it did not work . nicole : oh , god . you should see the two of them together . stefano : what , are they getting stronger ? nicole : you have to stop them . stefano : what are you talking about ? nicole : i mean it , stefano . you have to ... otherwise all the crap that you 've pulled on rafe hernandez , keeping him locked in that basement for weeks on end -- that 'll be the least of your problems . stefano : [ sighs deeply ] rafe : alicia , this is chad . chad : it 's nice to meet you . alicia : ditto . take off your , uh , shoes . stay a while . chad : [ stammers ] you want me to take -- rafe : yeah , okay , english is not her first language -- alicia : i heard that , and , yes , it is . rafe : okay , hey , thanks for stopping by . i 'll see you . say hi to johnny for me . take care . chad : um ...

[ both laughing ] paige : stanford is so beautiful . i bet princeton is too , yeah ? stacey : yes . paige : god , i 'm so -- i 'm just so excited . can you believe this ? we 're finally , like , going off and starting our lives . [ both laugh ] paige : oh . [ gasps ] oh , my god ! cole : oh . stacey : hey . cole : oh , man . i am so sorry . i was moving it to my other hand and -- oh , god . honey , i 'm really sorry . paige : i 've got to get this off right away . cole : yeah . all right . what a klutz . i feel terrible . hey , could you maybe go help ? she was in a really bad way . stacey : [ scoffs ] ben : i 'm sure you recognize me , do n't you ? huh ? [ laughs ] sonny : that was weird , was n't it ? that she thought she knew you from florida ? ben : i actually get that a lot . i guess i just have that kind of face . [ both chuckle ] [ door opens ] sonny : hey . will : hey . hi , ben . ben : hey , how 's it going ? will : pretty good . better now that i 'm with my girl and my guy . hi . sonny : how 's gabi ? will : i did what i could to make her feel better about ari . it 's scary , though . she knows that there 's a very long nightmare ahead of her . abigail showed up when i was leaving . maybe she 'll cheer her up . ben : is abigail doing okay ? will : did n't seem like it . it 's hard on the whole family , but , you know , we 'll get through . ben : well , listen , guys , all my best , okay ? i 'll see you tomorrow . will : yeah . ben : take care of this special little lady . [ laughs ] will : we will . sonny : definitely . ben : she 's lucky she has you two . [ door closes ] eric : you know , maybe i should be alone when i read these . daniel : yeah , sure . yeah . eric : daniel , i just wanted to say i 'm sorry i thought those things . daniel : no , no , look , i - i get it . i get it . sometimes nicole can really do a number on people , you know , when she -- when she wants to . eric : well , maybe someday we can talk it through . for now , i just -- daniel : no , no , i - i get it . i get it . just go home . take your time with those pages . right now you got to be mad as hell at nicole . join the club . i do n't know -- maybe one day i can find a way to forgive her for doing this , but i -- you know , i 'm not the one who 's important here . at least we both can be glad that nicole told you the truth . eric : she did n't . daniel : uh , i 'm sorry ? eric : nicole was n't the one who told me the truth . nicole : what is the matter with you , jennifer ? daniel was making me tell eric . he had me backed into a corner . if i did n't tell him the truth , daniel would . jennifer : okay , and when you found eric and you looked into his eyes , do you really think you would 've told him the truth ? nicole : [ scoffs ] jennifer : i do n't . in fact , i know you would n't . nicole : well , that is just crazy . like i said , if i did n't tell eric the truth , daniel would . but you did n't give me that chance . jennifer : right , and how many chances did daniel give you -- two , two dozen ? i mean , from what i overheard in that hotel room , i mean , you have really had so many chances . you 've broken so many promises . nicole : okay , you know what ? maybe . but honestly , daniel really laid down the law this time . jennifer : okay , and when eric and i were on our way to daniel 's apartment for your engagement party , was n't that the first time daniel confronted you with all of this ? and how long ago was that ? nicole : what , are you keeping a diary ? i am telling you i had no choice ! jennifer : and daniel is always so compassionate and wants to believe everyone 's point of view , because he is so compassionate and giving , probably too compassionate for his own good sometimes . nicole : you 're acting like he would lie for me . jennifer : he did lie for you ! nicole : no , he did n't . jennifer : he lied to ej . nicole : that 's different . jennifer : he lied to eric , because that 's what you do . you manipulate him . and you twist things so that daniel thinks that it 's the truth , and when he finds out it 's not and he gets angry , you twist it again ! it is so sick what you are doing to him ! nicole : oh , my god , do you hear yourself ? you 're moralizing away . jennifer : if you had your own way and enough time , you would convince daniel to never tell eric the truth , that he would n't even need to know it . nicole : what ? jennifer : you are tearing daniel apart ... because he cares about the truth . and you know what ? he cares about you ... very , very much ! nicole : oh , my god , jennifer . are you jealous of daniel and me ? ben : hey . abigail : ben . hi . hey , what are you doing here ? ben : i was looking for you . i talked to will earlier . i just wanted to make sure you were okay . abigail : thanks . that 's really sweet of you . ben : i have n't seen you since you found out who killed your cousin . abigail : yeah . ben : abigail , it 's got to be so tough , just finding out it was one of your good friends . abigail : well , it turns out gabi was n't my friend . gabi : when i got out of court , they said i had a visitor , but ... i did n't expect it to be you . kate : i know . not exactly your favorite person . i 'm not going to pretend that i 'm sorry that you killed nick , that nick is dead ... because i understand ... perfectly . the only thing i 'm sorry about is that you got caught . jj : then all you do is apply newton 's second law of motion . bev : okay , wait . do n't tell me . force equals mass times acceleration ? jj : there you go . bev : ah ! thank you . that helps so much . just think -- this time next year we 'll both be finishing our freshman year . jj : hopefully , yeah . bev : yeah . i mean , i guess it 's a good thing paige will be all the way in california . jj : why would that be a good thing ? bev : well , for your sake . i know how hard you 've been working to stay out of trouble -- drugs especially . jj : what are you talking about ? bev : hey , i mean , i was surprised myself when i heard , but it turns out paige larson is a little more of a party girl than people think . jj : hmm , now , where did you hear that ? bev : it 's around . jj : are you trying to pull something here ? bev , i warned you . if you 're trying to make paige out to be some druggie , then we 're done . you know what ? we are . bev : we 'll see . paige : hey ! what are you doing ? daniel : i do n't understand . nicole and i were the only ones who knew . she had to be the one to tell you . eric : it was jennifer . daniel : jenn ? but that 's not -- how -- how -- i mean , that 's not even possible . eric : i think maybe you should talk to her about that . thank you . [ door closes ] jennifer : this has nothing to do with jealousy . nicole : ooh , like hell it does n't . no . daniel and i have been close for a long time . we lived together , something you two have never done . and , yes ... there was a time when we went a hell of a lot further than just being best buds , but ... you 've never gotten over that , have you ? and as hard as i 've tried to be your friend , you just ca n't stop thinking about it . jennifer : stop . this is n't about me . stop doing what you always do . nicole : which is what ? jennifer : you 're twisting things and trying to make this look like something that it 's not . it 's not going to work . you need to face reality . you lied to eric , and the truth came out . you made your bed . now go lie in it . ben : so , i mean , what 's going on ? i mean , if it 's none of my business , abigail , just say so . but you seem kind of messed up . i mean , i get it , okay ? if gabi killed your cousin , it 's obvious why you do n't think she 's a friend . but if it 's something else ... abigail : it is . it is something else . i ... ben : what ? abigail : i went to see gabi . you know , i thought that ... if i could just understand her , that maybe i could help somehow . [ sighs ] ben : what ? abigail : it turns out that our whole friendship was a lie . i obviously did n't know who gabi was at all . [ sighs ] gabi : the judge said `` yes `` to almost everything that ej asked . kate : [ sighs ] do you think it 's wise to ask for your case to be expedited ? gabi : ej says it is . he 's working on a brief that pleads mitigating circumstances . kate : for the sentencing hearing . gabi : right . kate : just exactly what would those circumstances be ? gabi : do n't worry . what happened the night nick went into the river wo n't be mentioned . kate : [ sighs ] thank you . gabi : i know that you and sami were just trying to help me . and maybe if i would 've listened to you when he came back into town , none of this would 've happened . kate : no . no . do n't beat yourself up now . i know exactly why you did what you did . gabi : really ? kate : yes . [ sighs ] yes . believe me . a mother will do anything to protect her children ... including murder . gabi : [ cries ] eric : [ shuddering ] [ sighs ] [ continues shuddering ] [ cell phone rings ] jennifer : hi , daniel . daniel : hi . we need to talk . jennifer : uh , yeah , we do . can you come here ? daniel : i 'll be there right away . nicole : moralizing , stupid ...

[ crying ] kate : listen ... my promise to you ... my promise to you is that every time i see that little girl , i 'm gon na tell her how much her mother loves her ... okay ? and when she 's old enough , i 'll explain things ... because she will know that her mother loved her so much ... she was willing to sacrifice everything to make sure her little girl was safe . gabi : thank you . thank you .

john : right . come on . hope : so you think victor believes clyde 's dangerous . rafe : yeah , definitely . mind you , i 've got nothing concrete . so when victor called me off , he would n't tell me why , i just assumed it was because he was going to do something less than legal . hope : but clyde 's still walking around . for now . rafe : well , yeah , hope , that 's because you 've been called off of this and i 'm not a cop anymore , so ... hope : i do n't see that stopping either one of us . rafe : no , right , so soon as we get enough evidence we turn it over to roman , or to john , or abe . someone . hope : uh , yeah , right . rafe : what ?

so what ? listen , if we just pick apart his statement , we 're gon na find something . how much you want to bet clyde spoon fed jeremiah every word that 's here ? clyde : ben . when i told you before to watch out for chad dimera . you know the more i think about it the hell with it . you do n't need to compete with him or anyone else , i mean , abigail 's with you . ben : dad , i know that . clyde : and even if you did , you 'd win . i mean , you are the better looking guy , right ? you got all the smarts . once you 're done with college the skies the limit for you . and if you should ever need your daddy 's money , all you got ta do is say the word . ben : then why are you even bringing this up ?

and joey ... joey : yeah ? kayla : i want you to know that i -- i have faith that you are gon na turn this around . and i love you with all my heart . joey : i love you too . here . steve : hey . good work . pretty sure you got through to him . kayla : i hope so . steve : so is john there ? the two of you need to get back to the motel . kayla : we 're on our way . jade : look , dude . you might think you know joey , but guess what ? he 's no snitch . whatever you think you know , you do n't . and you surely do n't know us . the cops have n't -- they do n't have anything on our family . kayla : well , maybe they do n't today , but someday they will . joey obviously has some kind of weird loyalty to you . but the next little lovesick boy that you bring in here to your troupe , he may not be so committed to your cause . jade : you have n't got a clue . kayla : you know what , jade ? you 're right . i do n't have a clue . i do n't have a clue how a pretty , intelligent girl like you , who has her whole life in front of her , is squandering it in a place like this . stealing , making trouble . and i do n't know if you have any goals . what , are you sitting around getting high all day ? i mean , it 's sad . it 's really sad . and you , is this the life you want for your niece , for all these kids ? what kind of woman are you ? shawn : hey , hey , think i got something here . good find . shawn : there , we got it . got an earring . hmm . let 's bag this up . investigator : yes , sir . rafe : roman and i have to ask you a few questions . we need you to listen carefully and to tell the truth . nicole : you got it , rafe . rafe : okay . nicole : we all know this is n't my first time . roman : nicole , what happened between you and deimos down by the river this evening ? nicole : you ca n't seriously be telling me that was the last time he was seen . roman : hey , we have a witness saying you were the last one to see him alive , that there was a fight . nicole : someone saw us fight ? rafe : yes . roman : there 's also a video of the incident . nicole : well , then , why the hell am i here ? you saw the recording , did n't you ? okay , we fought , and it was bad , but then i took off . tell me you saw that in the video . rafe : no , we did n't . roman : unfortunately , there was no footage showing you leaving the confrontation . the witness dropped the phone . nicole : you got to be kidding me . roman : and also claims to have see which means you can help us fill in the blanks here . can you tell us what that witness could have seen ? rafe : right now would probably be a good time to call an attorney . [ cell phone ringing ] belle : hello ? nicole : hi , belle . it 's nicole walker . listen , brady said i could call you with any legal troubles we have with dj wear . belle : right , yeah . he mentioned that . i thought he bought you out . nicole : he did . i was wondering if you could help me with a very serious issue . i 'm down at the station , and i 'm being questioned about the man i currently work for , deimos kiriakis . according to some video someone took , i 'm the last person to have seen him alive . belle : oh . then ... nicole : yeah . can you come down here ? belle : on my way . nicole : thanks . i 'll see you soon . well , i just spoke to belle . she 's on her way down here . that is , if she does n't remember how much she hates me and leaves me here to rot . rafe : all right . off the record . what is going on between you and deimos , huh ? nicole : rafe , it 's complicated . rafe : well , yeah , i 'll bet it is . why would a witness follow you and deimos down to the river ? nicole : why would anyone follow anyone ? because they want to spy on them . wait . oh , my -- oh , my god . the witness . please tell me it 's not kate . damn it . of course it is . you know what , this makes perfect sense now . rafe : what does ? nicole : you 've known all along , and you did n't see it ? that bitch is setting me up . understanding of our ways , our process . you stand here before me , criticizing what you know nothing about . kayla : let me just say , first off , this little mysterious process that you have , i have no desire to understand it . i am sure that you bullied my son into driving all your juvenile delinquents around . simone : a lone arrest , only your son . question him , not me , not my children . this is a place of peace . your child had a lapse in judgment . he veered from the family code , rules that we abide by . when he returns to us , he -- john : oh , god , woman . you are so full of it . you think anybody 's really buying this peace and love charade ? simone : [ scoffs ] i 'm not selling . john : of course you are . you just sold one of your new members down the river . he 's gon na take the rap . you 're gon na get off squeaky clean , right ? simone : like i 've said , this is a place of peace and tranquility . take your baseless accusations elsewhere . kayla : baseless ? i think that that desert sun has fried your brain , lady . you know what , i am glad . i 'm glad that my son was arrested . give him one more second here under your idiotic spell , and god knows what he would have done , and he might have ended up in prison for years . you know what , that is not my son 's future . but it will be yours . shawn : huh . detective brady , what is it ? [ dramatic music ] rafe : so you , kate , and deimos ? nicole : yes , my ex - business partner , now boss , is jealous because deimos showed interest in me . rafe : hope mentioned a while back she saw you with deimos . care to explain that ? nicole : it 's a long story . belle : and it 'll have to wait . nicole : thank you for coming . belle : if you do n't mind , detective , i 'd like to speak to my client alone . rafe : fair enough . let me know if you need anything . belle : well , start at the beginning . rafe : helena tasso . nicole : because i look so much like her , deimos became infatuated with me , so i used that to my advantage , but not for my own purpose . i did it for maggie , like i said , and daniel , because he loved her so much . i mean , daniel would have hated what deimos did to her . rafe : so your connection to deimos was because of your resemblance to the late helena tasso ? now , do you think that made kate jealous ? nicole : yes . she hated it . you saw the video . deimos asked me to make love to him on the riverbank . i 'd be his princess . roman : but you refused ? nicole : i walked away . belle : and then , as the witness supposedly , and very conveniently i might add , dropped the phone and , therefore , stopped recording , she saw you push deimos kiriakis into the river . well , listen . i think , since you have no reasonable proof that my client committed murder , we 're done here . and i 'd like to speak to my client alone . rafe : take your time . roman : but , nicole , i 'd suggest not leaving town . joey : is mom coming ? steve : should n't be long now . joey : i 'm gon na go grab some snacks for the road . steve : well , make it quick . as soon as john and your mom get here , we 're splitting . joey : gotcha . fynn : i 'll make sure there 's some gas in the tank . steve : hey , before you do that , how about you and i clear the air ? fynn : right . steve : i know i 've been a jerk to you , but you have n't been that cool with me , either . but now i know it was because you were looking out for kayla . and i appreciate that . i owe you . fynn : yeah , no worries , man . simone : well , it is crystal clear now . i see what drove your son to come here with my niece and join our family . he was desperate the escape the lack of spirituality in his former life , the tedium . oh , the boy is his father , no doubt . kayla : what the hell are you getting at ? simone : i 'm just point out the simple fact that your son is a soulful young man who craves adventure , not to mention connection with like - minded people , just like his father does . kayla : you do n't know my son , and you for sure do n't know -- simone : your ex - husband ? steve `` patch `` johnson . i know he could n't get enough of my kombucha . it 's a tea . and then he told me about his son joey running away from home . and more notably , he told me about his attraction to danger . but you , kayla , seem to want to cage the tiger , because you no longer have the courage to live life on the wild side . you did steve a favor by leaving him . now he 's free to run , explore , embrace the beast within . and he 's welcome here anytime he pleases . john : trust me , you do n't want any part of what 's caged up inside of this woman . kayla : how dare her ? she does n't know a damn thing about me or steve . the nerve , telling me what steve needs or that i did him a favor by leaving him . i mean , that 's just outrageous . what ? why are you looking at me like that ? john : just wondering why you 're so upset . have n't you moved on with fynn ? nicole : i know that kate is n't a highly moral person . no , i 'd like to amend that . she is a completely amoral person . but to pin this on me ? why would she do that ? belle : listen , you have to stop trying to analyze kate . okay , you need to go home , go to bed , and in the morning , deimos will , we hope , show up , dead or alive , and then we 'll have more information . nicole : i 'm not gon na sleep tonight , believe me . belle : okay , well , you are gon na go straight home , and you 're gon na turn off that phone . you will not look for kate . you will not call her , skype her , text her , email her , or contact her by carrier pigeon . got it ? rafe : nicole 's statement matches the video . roman : yeah , we gained nothing concrete on the supposed murder . shawn : well , we may have found something that changes everything . john : oh -- forget i said that . i 'm sorry . it 's just that -- it 's just breaking my heart , kayla . kayla : what is ? john : just knowing that you mean everything to steve . he loves you with every cell in his body . and it 's just breaking my heart . the two of you ca n't seem to work things out . kayla : you know why that is , john . it 's because -- it 's just like that woman , that obnoxious , ridiculous woman just said . she was right on the woman . steve craves adventure and danger , so much so that he will put our family at risk . he needs that thrill more than he needs me . john : no , not true . kayla : yes , it is . i 've accepted it . and you should too . john : oh , damn it , kayla . you do n't get it , do you ? you are part of that adventure . you are the biggest part . not to mention that you are and always will be the most important person in his life . so would you quit being so damn stubborn and just give the man a chance to make things right ? lani : with all the evidence , i mean , it 's clear that there was a struggle . rafe : well , once the blood results are in , we can move forward . roman : by making an arrest . belle : we 're done . roman : nicole , remember what i said about leaving town . nicole : i 'm not running . belle : i 'll contact you later . nicole : okay . shawn : hey , how you feeling ? belle : uh , better . sorry i had to cancel on dinner last night . shawn : oh , it 's fine . i 'm almost done here . are you available tonight ? belle : sorry , i 'm not . kayla : [ sighs ] i am so glad that you are all right . joey : i 'm doing a lot better now that you 're here safe . i 'm glad you let the doctor tag along . kayla : fynn 's a good guy . i would n't be here if he had n't brought me . steve : yeah , thanks again , fynn . joey : mom , you should n't have come to l.a. , not in your condition . kayla : well , you should have thought about that before you ran away . were you just trying to hurt your father and me ? were you trying to punish us ? joey : no . not exactly . i mean ... i do n't know . i just had to . kayla : i do n't understand . joey : it 's hard to explain . i had to find myself . kayla : i hate that expression . joey : i 'm sorry . i do n't know how else to put it . but anyway , i did find a part of myself . and it made me realize the man i want to be . kayla : you want to elaborate on that ? joey : i do n't want to go looking for trouble anymore . i do n't want to disappoint you , or dad . kayla : you 're gon na make better choices . joey : yeah , i 'm gon na try . john : you know , making mistakes here and there , not a soul on earth is immune to that . but what 's important is what you take away from them . joey : yeah , i get that now . nice to see you , mom and dad . kayla : i love you . [ knock at door ] kate : adams , you 're supposed to answer the door . [ glass shatters ] well , that was a waste of a perfectly good martini . steve : well , it 's been fun . i 'm really looking forward to getting the sand out of my boots . john : you and me both . listen , partner , i got a cab coming gon na take me to the airport , so ... you have yourself a nice , long drive back home , okay ? steve : okay . let 's move . kayla : uh , you know , i just need a moment with fynn alone , if that 's all right . john : hey , listen , partner , before i shove off , i want to talk to you about a client and run some details by you , okay ? steve : yeah , sure . john : yeah , all right . steve : i 'll take this for you , babe . fynn : oh . kayla : fynn , i just -- fynn : look -- yes . kayla : why do n't you go first ? fynn : okay . i just wanted to say , you do n't need to say anything . i get it . belle : i 'm sorry . that came out weird . what i meant to say is , i 'm not available for dinner tonight . shawn : is it because you 're not feeling well ? because if you want , i can just come over to your place , and i can make you something -- or , i take it back . i can heat you up some of your favorite soup . belle : aw , chicken and stars ? shawn : mm - hmm . belle : [ laughs ] do they even make that anymore ? shawn : they do . and lucky for you , i 've got a couple cans in reserve at the place i 'm staying . belle : aw , you keep my favorite soup around ? shawn : mm - hmm . well , it 's also because claire likes it . belle : ah . shawn : and maybe -- i do n't know -- if you want , we can watch some netflix -- belle : if you say , `` and chill , `` i will hit you .

eric : i was hoping you 'd marry us today . hope : are you sure you 're gon na be okay ? ciara : yeah , sure . um , like i said , i 'm just -- i 'm just gon na give claire the benefit of the doubt . and , um , you know , all i want is for her to get better . just like ben did . yeah , but i have to get to work now , so ... rafe : well , hello , bride - to - be and bride - to - be 's mom . hope : hi . any news on david 's custody ? rafe : no , no , not yet , but i 'm hoping to hear -- nope , still nothing -- something soon . thank you , by the way , for yesterday . hope : you do n't need to thank me . rafe : uh , i disagree , actually . so your mom testified yesterday in front of the judge , and zoey tried to rip her to shreds , but nope . she laid it all out for the judge . hope : all i did was tell the truth . what judge in her right mind would allow that woman to become david 's legal guardian anyway ? ciara : yeah , ben and i are really hoping that you get to become his guardian . i mean , he loves you so much , and you 're just , like , the best dad ever to that little boy , so ... rafe : oh , thank you . ciara : you 're welcome . rafe : thank you . okay , well , if i am lucky enough to officially become his father , i foresee a lot of playdates with you and with ben and maybe a little babysitting in your future . ciara : yeah , yeah , you know -- rafe : yes ? ciara : yeah , ben and i would really love that . rafe : okay , great , excellent . ciara : yeah . rafe : so now that that 's settled , i was supposed to meet my sister for breakfast , and she blew me off , and she 's not answering her cell , so ... either of your seen her ? ben : the last time i saw gabi she was trying to jab a needle in jake . sorry i ca n't be more help . will : i mean , you know it was n't like she was attacking him , right ? she was trying to help jake , because she 's convinced that -- jake : i 'm her dead husband resurrected by dr . quack ? sonny : well , it 's happened before . she was just trying to restore your memory . jake : my memory is just fine , thanks , and no offense to you . you seem pretty sane . but i 'm convinced whatever gabi was trying to inject me with would have made me as loony - tunes as she is . claire : i just do n't see what the big deal is . i 'm an adult . if my doctors think that i 'm well enough to be released , i should be able to choose where i live , right ? belle : well , claire , this is , um , it 's like a trial , supervised release , which means the doctors wo n't discharge you without being in the custody of a legal guardian . shawn : which would be us . claire : so ... what ? so my doctors , marlena , they -- they think i 'm still a little nuts ? belle : what ? no . no . honey , they would n't let you out if that 's what they thought . they just want you to have the support that you need to navigate what 's ahead . claire : yeah , getting back to my life . shawn : yeah , and that 's all we want . hey , we want to be there , be there for you every step of the way , all right ? whatever 's best for your recovery we will do . claire : well , that 's great . i mean , how soon can you guys move back to salem ? belle : claire , it -- it 's just not that easy , you know ? your dad and i have a home and a job in hong kong . claire : yeah , but salem is where my friends and family are . shawn : and we understand that , but maybe for now it might be best for you to go someplace to have a fresh start , someplace that 's away from where everything happened when you got sick . claire : okay , would that not just defeat the whole purpose of me getting out ? shawn : okay , what exactly does that mean ? abe : well , i understand that you 're eager to tie the knot , especially given all the years you 've had to wait . but today ? eric : this is what i want . i want nicole to be my wife . you 're not saying no , are you ? abe : oh , no , no , no , definitely yes , but , you know , other people may not be available on such short notice . do n't you want your mother and your father and your family and friends to , uh , to witness this big day ? marlena : sami at your wedding . look , if you want to have fireworks , would n't it be easier just to buy some ? nicole : [ laughs ] i know . i know . but sami and eric are twins , and they love each other . and i know as impossible as sami can be at times , it would really make my groom happy if his sister were there . will : gabi is as sane as any of us . yeah , she 's passionate . she 's impetuous . she goes after what she wants . sonny : and she was completely in love with stefan . so if there 's a chance that he 's alive or that you are him , she is not gon na stop till she gets he answers . that 's why she took your toothbrush . ben : wait , excuse me ? jake : yeah , according to these two , gabi broke in here and stole my toothbrush for a dna test , and it 's definitely gone . will : which means she was definitely here . jake : well , i do n't know anything about it . sonny : you know what ? i really want to believe you . jake : look , guys , i 'm sorry gabi 's having such a hard time with the death of her husband that she decided to try and jab a needle into my arm . but the good news is , if she 's telling the truth and she was set up , then she 'll be cleared . i hope she is . will : it 's gon na be a little difficult for gabi to be cleared if she does n't show up for her day in court . jake : well , then maybe you should start your search somewhere else . sonny : we 're obviously wasting our time . will : hey , ben , if you hear anything at all about gabi , can you -- i mean , can you let us know , please ? ben : yeah , absolutely . will : okay , thank you . [ tense music ] hope : no , i have n't seen her . rafe : i hate when i ca n't reach her . ciara : [ exhales ] we should call rafe . you know what ? we should have called him yesterday when we found out that gabi was kidnapped in the first place . ben : jake said no cops . and if you remember , rafe was in court all day yesterday with david 's custody hearing . he could n't just drop everything he was doing to help us , ciara . ciara : okay , well , someone has to help us , ben . because if we do n't find gwen , those goons are gon na make good on their threat . ben : naw , i do n't think so . they know they 're not gon na get what they want if they hurt gabi . ciara : yeah , but they had no problem hurting you when they thought you were jake . ben : ciara , they roughed me up , but it was a warning sign . we call the cops on them , and these guys panic ? might be a different story . ciara : okay , well , i mean , there must be someone else who can help us , right ? like my mom or john and steve and all their isa contacts . ben : cops , isa -- same thing . ciara : okay , but then gabi is in danger ! ben : ciara , it 's gon na be okay , all right ? i got this . you need to go to work . ciara : okay , but , ben , i ca n't -- ben : no , there 's no reason for you to lose your job over this . i 'm going in too ... okay ? and with any luck , maybe jake came up with something by now . rafe : i know that gabi is n't exactly a fan of rules , but disappearing like this the day before her court date , how am i supposed to help her if i do n't even know where she is , right ? ciara : rafe .... ben : damn it . this whole thing is such a mess . gabi 's not my favorite person in the world , but we 're running out of time here . jake : i know that . ben : no , we need to find her . ciara 's having a real hard time keeping quiet about this . she almost told her mother earlier . jake : whoa , whoa , whoa , no , , no , we agreed that there would not be -- ben : i know what we agreed . no cops , no isa , but ciara 's worried , and so am i . jake : look , ben , i know this is hard . you have to trust me when i say the cops can not be involved in this . these guys we 're dealing with , they are going to harm gabi if we do n't give them exactly what they want . ben : we ca n't give them exactly what they want , because we do n't have it until we get it back from your ex . so what is the plan , boss ? rafe : what is it , ciara ? ciara : i just -- i feel so bad that you 're so worried about gabi . i just -- i really hope that she 's okay . rafe : yeah . ciara : yeah . rafe : me too . ciara : mm - hmm . rafe : okay . okay , well , if you see her or hear anything , please -- ciara : you know what ? i am -- i 'm so sorry . i 'm -- i 've got to go . i 'm super late for work . so , mom , i love you . hope : oh , i love you too , sweetheart . ciara : bye , rafe . i love you . rafe : okay . ciara : i 'll see you guys later . hope : have a good day at work . rafe : tell that groom - to - be i say hello . okay . uh , is it just me , or was ciara acting very strange . hope : no , it 's -- right before you joined us , we were talking about claire . rafe : claire . hope : well , she could be released from bayview soon . claire : okay , look , i did some horrible things to people i care about , okay ? i ca n't just move on like nothing happened . how can i ever heal completely if i do n't make amends and own what i did and make it up to the people i hurt ? belle : honey , you know that tripp left salem , and haley passed away . claire : yeah , and it kills me that i 'll never actually get to look them in the eye and apologize . but ciara and ben , i need to not only just ask for their forgiveness but show them that i 'm sorry and show them that i 'm better . shawn : claire , you do n't have anything to prove . everybody understands that you were sick when you did the things that you did . i mean , ben and ciara , they both understand . i mean , they 've moved one . i mean , they 're en -- belle : shawn , maybe we should n't do that . claire : engaged ? are ciara and ben getting married ? belle : yes , sweetheart , they are . claire : ohh . well , that 's -- that 's great . wow , i 'm happy for them . i 'm super happy . belle : you are ? claire : yeah . yeah , i just , um , i wonder ... shawn : wonder what ? claire : i do n't know . i was just kind of hoping that someday somehow ciara and i could get back to the place we used to be , best friends . do you think that 's ever possible ? shawn : listen , i think that we just need to focus on your recovery and taking it one step at a time . claire : from hong kong ? are you -- dad , i ca n't fix my relationship with ciara from halfway across the world . belle : claire -- claire : please , please . look , my doctors want me to take responsibility for what i 've done , okay ? and if i just went to hong kong , i would feel like i was running away , and i will not run from this , from doing the right thing . can you please just tell me you understand how important this is to me . shawn : look , i -- listen , i find it admirable that you want to repair your relationship with ciara , but , claire , we can not just leave you alone in salem , all right ? supervision is a condition of your release . claire : what if i lived with grandma ? marlena : i think it 's so generous of you to want to make something special happen for eric on your wedding day , but ooh , golly , inviting sami ? nicole : i know it sounds strange for me to want her there given how strained things are between us , and that is putting it mildly . but thanks to your son , i have learned forgiveness , acceptance , and compassion , and i am not the same woman that stole sami 's baby all those years ago . marlena : no , you 're not . you have become a woman of kindness and grace . i think eric is very lucky to have you . nicole : so does that mean you 'll help me ? [ laughter ] marlena : all righty , i 'll do whatever i can . eric : i know it sounds a little crazy , the biggest day of my life , i want to marry the love of my life with no family and friends , but honestly , the only thing that matters is that nicole and i become husband and wife . we 've waited for so long for this moment , and i just ca n't wait any long . abe : [ laughs ] nicole : oh , hi , abe . abe : hey . nicole : to what do we owe the honor of your honor honoring us with your presence ? [ laughter ] eric : abe is here to marry us . jennifer : all right , kids are on the slide loving it . thomas is just having a ball . and guess what . charlotte , she 's all over it . she 's not even afraid . jack : oh , that 's great . jennifer : yeah . jack : i just got a text here from chad saying that he and abigail are doing just fine . kate : oh , that 's so great . oh , that 's wonderful . would you do me a favor ? next time you speak to them , will you give them both my best ? jack : we certainly will . jennifer : hi . kate : hey . well , this is such a rare occurrence running into you . i mean , we 're living under the same roof , and yet we seldom cross paths , right ? jack : well , it 's not that strange . i mean , it 's not like we serve breakfast or anything . i mean , it 's a four - story house with 20,000-some bedrooms , right ? kate : i suppose . i suppose . jennifer : yeah , anyway , it 's really nice to see you , kate . kate : well , it 's -- it 's so good to see you , to see both of you , really . jack : yes . kate : and i have to be frank . if i did n't run into you , i was thinking of trying to schedule a meeting . jack : a meeting . kate : yes . i 'm sure you both heard about the key to the city ceremony that 's coming up , and i want to get as much press coverage as possible , and i 'm really hoping that `` the spectator `` will take part . absolutely . i mean , `` the spectator `` would love to cover that . but i thought that steve and hope -- kate : oh , i know . you thought that they were ... jack : ambivalent . kate : ambivalent , yes , ambivalent about accepting the award . you know , that 's another area where i would really appreciate some help . um , you know , in my work , with abe , within mayor , it 's my job to enhance his public image . and i know this ceremony is really , really gon na do that . so i would super appreciate your help in making the event a success , you know , in support of abe . nicole : marry us ? wait , wait , i do n't know what you 're talking about . what -- eric : well , i just wanted to show you how much i loved you and how much i want you to be my wife , so as soon as holly gets home from school , abe here can pronounce us man and wife . nicole : yeah , but i 'm -- eric : it 'll be perfect , because we 've already got the license , so i can go shave , put on a suit , and you can put on one of your beautiful dresses , and we can finally be mr . and mrs . nicole : i 'm sorry , but that 's not gon na happen . claire : i mean , how can my doctor say no ? grandma marlena is on board with my release . and i would have a live - in shrink to monitor my return to the real world . it is perfect . shawn : claire , i don't ... i 'm not so sure it 's a good idea . belle : yeah , neither am i . claire : okay , can you just at least ask her , please ? shawn : i mean , it does n't hurt to ask . i ... i mean , yeah , we 'll ask . belle : uh , okay . if that 's what you really want . claire : it is . hope : so if marlena vouches for claire 's recovery , she could be released as early as today ? rafe : wow , under shawn and belle 's care ? hope : as far as i know , that 's the plan , yeah , and given everything that 's happened between the girls , i think it 's best , at least for now . rafe : yeah . [ phone beeps ] rafe : oh . hope : is it justin ? rafe : oh , damn it . no , it 's work . i was hoping it was gabi . sonny : you do n't think gabi decided to skip bail and run , do you ? i mean , with her record , if she 's found guilty for poisoning abigail and trying to do the same thing to jake , she 's gon na go to prison for a very long time . will : i -- no , i do n't think -- not possible . for one thing , you heard gabi before she left . she 's not gon na leave ari , not now , not ever , and also , if she thinks jake is stefan , there 's no chance she would purposely inject him with something weird , you know , which means she innocent . sonny : which means she 's gon na dig in and fight to prove she 's innocent and to prove to jake and the world that he is stefan . will : so if she did n't run , where is she ? jake : called gwen 's cell again . ben : that 's it ? that -- that 's the plan . jake , you said she has n't returned any of your messages . i think we need to do a little bit better than that . jake : this time i told her somebody 's life is in danger . ciara : and that is exactly why i do n't want to keep this secret anymore . eric : so you do n't want to get married ? nicole : oh , of course i do . i just was n't expecting for it to happen today . eric : well , that 's why they call it a surprise . nicole : yeah , well , there 's surprises , and then they 're surprises . eric : which kind of surprise is this ? abe : you know what ? i think it is time that i get back to the office , so you let me know what you decide , and ... eric : but -- abe : no , either later today or whatever date you pick , but it will be my honor to perform the ceremony . eric : okay , um , abe , wait . um ... abe : i 'm -- i 'm a phone call away . eric : [ sighs ] you said you were good with getting married soon ... nicole : i am , but not today . eric : that the most important thing is , was just being married , not getting married , simple , nothing fancy . nicole : yeah , i know , i did , absolutely . eric : okay . just give me one reason why you do n't want to get married today . nicole : [ sighs ] sami . eric : i 'm so sorry if sami pitched a fit about us getting married . i just do n't want to put you through something like that . nicole : no , i invited sami to the wedding . that was my big surprise . eric : you invited sami ? but you hate her . nicole : yeah , but you love her . that 's why i did it . i wanted our day to be perfect for you . eric : all right . nicole : [ laughs ] or i 'm completely out of my mind . eric : and generous , always putting other 's needs before yourself . i 'm truly touched . i am . nicole : well , listen , do n't you worry about me , okay ? i 'm gon na be fine . because any kind of grief that sami gives me will be worth it to see the look on her face when i call her sister . [ laughter ] rafe : well , i know the evidence is against her . but i think that gabi 's argument is solid . she thinks jake is stefan . she loves stefan . why would she try and hurt him ? hope : let me ask you this . have you questioned rolf ? rafe : no , not in person . he 's denied framing gabi , but if she 's right -- hope : then he must have had access to the drug used on abigail . i mean , he 's always been involved with the dimeras . he could have walked into any one of the labs . rafe : no , no , no , the problem is , he was locked up in jail at the time that abigail was drugged . hope : does n't matter . rolf has always had plenty of minions to do his bidding . he could have directed someone else to poison abigail , then set gabi up to take the fall . ciara : blood on my hands ? you know , you have some nerve putting that on me when it was because of you and your secrets and your lies that gabi got kidnapped in the first place , jake ! ben : ciara , okay , listen . i 'm am just as worried about gabi as you are , but i think we can trust jake 's judgment on this . ciara : and you 're just okay with that ? gabi 's life can be measure in hours . if she dies because we kept rafe in the dark , how -- how can you live with that ? jake : what the hell do n't you understand about no cops ? ciara : do you not want to involve the police because you 're afraid of gabi 's blood being spilled or yours ? [ tense music ] claire : [ inhales and exhales ] shawn : so what do you think about claire living with you ? marlena : well , as a psychiatrist , i do see the benefits of claire staying here and taking responsibility and making amends . belle : but as her grandmother ? marlena : i 'd be thrilled . i mean , i 'd love to have her . i would have to check with john , but he adores her , so i think it would be fine with him too . the real question is , is it all right with both of you ? | nicole talked to marlena about inviting sami to the wedding . marlena was surprised by that , but she decided to help her . eric went to abe because he did n't want to wait to marry nicole . abe was n't sure if the guests could make it on short notice . nicole showed up so eric announced that abe was there to marry them now . nicole let him know that she invited sami to the wedding . he was shocked that she did . nicole wanted to see sami 's reaction when she called her sis . someone knocked on the door and eric answered it . he was shocked when he opened the door . claire told her parents there was no way she wanted to go to hong kong . she thought about the save the date card and had a reason to stay in salem . shawn and belle want her to move with them . she told them she wanted to make things right with ciara . belle and shawn told her about ciara and ben getting married . she told them she was happy for them . she wondered if she and ciara could be friends again . she said she could stay with her grandmother . they wanted to ask her first . hope noticed how worried ciara looked . ciara thought about gabi 's kidnapping . rafe showed up and thanked hope for testifying for him . ciara hoped he got to keep david . rafe mentioned how he was supposed to meet gabi for breakfast . he wanted to know if they saw her . ciara remembered ben saying not to go to the cops . rafe said he could n't help gabi if she misses her court date . ciara walked away . rafe and hope noticed that she was acting strange . hope thought about claire being released from bayview . rafe talked to her about gabi 's suspicions about rolf setting her up . hope would n't be surprised if rolf did set her up . he said rolf was locked up . she thought he could have had help on the outside . justin called him to let him know the judge reached a decision about david . |

cassie : what do you mean you 'll be to blame ? lucas : sami and i have had a crazy history . we 've been going after each other for years , taking potshots at each other and ... i do n't know why . it 's just what we do , you know ? cassie : sounds like belle and me . we ca n't be in the same room without ragging on each other . lucas : yeah , but this time , i took it way too far . it 's one thing to mess with somebody -- you know , fair and square -- but i should have drawn the line . i should have drawn the line at grinding her into the dirt . cassie : so maybe you were a little meaner than usual . it was n't a big deal . lucas : no , you do n't understand . yowewere n't there . she was freaking out . she was freaking out , and i -- i just kept pushing her and pushing her . she was going off the deep end , and i laughed in her face . i was taunting her . i 'm the reason why she snapped . and this is the result . cassie : this was n't your fault . this was an accident . lucas : look , i know it was an accident . i know i physically did n't throw her through those doors , but i 'm the one who screwed her . i mentally screwed her . i 'm the one who made her lose it . cassie : you did n't mean for this to happen . lucas : it does n't change anything , you know ?

nicole : well , i wanted a private meeting with you . that 's all . clever , huh ? larry : normally , i 'd say yes , but anybody who marries victor kiriakis ca n't be that clever . um , look , so , why do you want to see me -- aside from my dashing looks , rapier wit , and , uh , winning personality ? nicole : well , i was trying to think of someone who detests my husband as much as i do . larry : oh . and i came to mind ? i 'm honored . nicole : i 'm not aware of the particulars , but i do know that victor made you take the fall for a crime you did not commit . twice . larry : do n't you just hate it when that happens ? nicole : yeah . and i know that you did not kill colin murphy . larry : oh , really ? and how do you know that ? nicole : believe me , i know you 're innocent . larry : well , your , uh , faith in me is ... touching . nicole , is it ? you know , i can feel myself being rehabilitated as we speak . nicole : and i also know that you would give your eyeteeth to get back at victor . larry : true . especially since i do n't need 'em much here . i mean , the food 's too mushy . what i would n't give for a rare steak right now . nicole : well , maybe i can give you something you can really sink your teeth into . chloe : you ... want to break up ? brady : no , no . i do n't want to break up with you , chloe . i just -- i just think that ... chloe : we have to . for my sake . to make me stronger and more independent . you 're doing me a favor . what a guy . how will i ever be able to repay you ? brady : well , if it helps to be sarcastic -- chloe : `` if it helps `` ? no , it does n't help . nothing 's going to help , except maybe if you get the hell out of here . brady : you know what ? you have been given the chance of a lifetime , chloe , and i will not let you give up on that to stay here with me . it 's just wrong . chloe : oh , and you know what 's right or wrong ? who made you such an authority , brady ? brady : because i know you and what you need . chloe : like hell . brady : chloe , you have been given such an incredible gift . you have the voice of an angel . everything about you -- your talent , your presence ... chloe : stop acting like a fan , damn it ! i do n't need you to admire my talent . i need you to love me . brady : i do . that 's why i 'm doing this . chloe : i do n't believe you . i think that you 've lost interest in me . i think that now that i 'm cured of my illness , you know that you can move on to someone else without any guilt . brady : what ? move on to somebody else -- no ! chloe ... chloe : i know you do , brady . just admit it . stop playing this stupid game . just tell me . you found somebody else , have n't you ? you 're in love with somebody else . roman : what did the doctors say ? kate : they 're still waiting for the latest test results . roman : yeah . i know this can go either way , but ... the longer it takes for sami to come around ... it 's just driving me nuts that i ca n't help her . and it is absolutely hell just waiting , not doing a damn thing . kate : when lucas was in that coma for so long and no one thought he would come out of it , all i could do was wait . just like you 're doing now . but no matter how bleak the prognosis was , i could never give up on my child . and you ca n't give up on sami . roman : you know , i 've , uh , been through a lot of stuff in my life , but , uh , this ... kate : roman , no matter what the doctors say , you ca n't stop hoping for a miracle . and i 'm going to pray for that miracle -- that it will happen for you the way it happened for lucas and me . cassie : thank you . that feels so much better . lucas : well , good . you want some ice ? cassie : yeah . in a glass . lucas : i could use a drink , too . is vodka okay ? cassie : yeah , it 's perfect . lucas : all right . be right back . lucas : you know , sami almost died once before . she was on death row . but , uh , i could n't let that happen . no way . i would 've given anything to trade places with her then . i 'd do the same thing right now . cassie : she 's going to be okay . lucas : i hope so . because if she dies , i 'll never be able to live with myself . not after what i 've done . cassie : okay . i know you do n't want to hear this right now ... cassie : but i think you 're an amazing person . come here . rolf : [ coughing ] why did you do that ? with your brilliant mind , isis is how you solve a problem -- with violence ? rex : i 've had it with all the lies and deceit . i ca n't take it anymore . rolf : yes , well , assaulting me is not going to get you any closer to the facts . rex : i have to know the truth about how and why cassie and i were genetically engineered . rolf : it 's not important . it is the past . what is important is who you are now and what you can become . rex : listen , no one is going to stop me from getting to the bottom of this . i 've already unlocked d dna , all right ? it 's clear that cassie 's my biological twin . rolf : well , of course she is . you already knew that . rex : yeah , but my tests also proved that neither marlena nor tony are my parents . rolf : yes , well , perhaps your tests were wrong . rex : they weren't . further tests provedhat we 're actually the children of roman brady . but cassie and i thought we were dimeras , but ... it turns out our father is some blue - collar cop . pretty ironic , huh ? guess the joke 's on us . now the only missing piece of the puzzle is , who is our mother ? look , do n't give me that innocent look . you know who she is . tell me now or else . cscscscscscscscscscscscscscscscscscscscscsñ ñ é brady : chloe , please , there is no one else . oh , my god . that is not what this is about ! you need to know that that 's true . chloe , look at me , please . just -- just look at me . i - i love you and only you . i 'm letting you go because i love you . chloe : that does n't make any sense . brady : all right . if you -- if you stay here with me and you give up on your career and your dreams , it may -- it may seem like the right thing to do right now , but i know -- and i think you know , too , in your heart -- that if you make that decision and if i let you go through with that decision , it will ruin your life and my life , too . larry : i 'm intrigued . you know , i hardly ever have any fun in this place . the last time we had any excitement here was that one tuesday when they did n't serve cream tuna on toast . nicole : wow , that sounds like a thrill . larry : oh , yeah . i 'm living la vida loca . so , please , enlighten me . obviously , you hate your husband . that 's one thing we both have in common , but what 's t d deal ? i mean , you want to team up to take down victor kiriakis ? mimi : speaking of trouble , i 'm going to have trouble getting into my clothes if i keep scarfing these . please have some . bart : oh , sure , thank you . mimi : is that a frappuccino ?

why do n't you try some ? mimi : no thanks . trust me , you do n't want to see me strung out on frappuccino . i just go on and on and on . bart : what was it that you said to roman brady that you should n't have said buyoyou said anyway ? maybe something about what you saw or heard at the dimera mansion ? mimi : as a matter of fact , it was . when am i going to learn to muzzle myself ? i can not keep a secret . my mouth is faster than an internet high - speed cable connection . does that ever happen to you ? bart : me , mimi ? um ... well , yeah , sometimes . no , usually , i say something stupid , and then to cover it , i say something stupider . mimi : mm , yes , that happens to me all the time . bart : you do -- well , then , what did you say to roman brady ? mimi : oh , i really ca n't tell you . i 've already blabbed too much , anyway . bart : no , you have n't blabbed anything yet . mimi : wow , well , that 's a new one for me . hey , maybe you 're a good influence on me . bart : ha ha ha ha . terrific . let me be the first person that you do n't spill your guts to . excuse me , i got ta make a call . mimi : okay . bart : all right , it 's hit the fan . rex dimera 's bigmouth girlfriend is history . rolf : this is unbelievable . rex : what ? what are you talking about ? what is unbelievable ? rolf : you . no one was ever supposed to break your genetic code , and yet you have . it 's nothing short of astonishing . rex : why was n't anyone supposed to break the code ? rolf : stefano never wanted anyone to know that roman brady was your biological father . but you -- you have put together the pieces of this very complicated puzzle . rex : damn it ! i am sick of being your test tube experiment ! dr. rolf , you are going to tell me everything you know , or i will make sure everyone knows tony is not our father . what would that do to the precious dimera legacy ? rolf : hmm . all right . as you 've already been told , marlena did give birth to you and cassie . rex : yeah , but she 's not our mother , so how can that be ? rolf : because it 's -- because when -- rex : how ? rolf : because we did not use her genetic material . there was a donor . cassie : i 've got an idea . why do n't you let me help you get your mind off things and relax with a nice back massage ? lucas : tony is my boss . he said he 'd kilmeme if i laid a finger on you . cassie : so , let me lay my fingers on you . come here . come here . lucas : look , we really shouldn't . your father -- cassie : you 're such a weird guy . you know , not many men would be thinking of my father right now . lucas : ha ha ha . cassie : oh , was -- was that a laugh i heard ? see , i told you , you feel better already . lucas : yeah . you know , we really should stop . cassie : i do n't want to . and you do n't want me to . you want me to keep going ... keep going ? 'cause you 're the kind of man that likes to live dangerously . úaa roman : hey . hey , daughter . it 's your dad here ... right next to you . and i am not going anywhere until you get better . you hear me ? i love you , sami girl . i love you very , very much . doctor , is there any news ? man : yes , captain brady . there 's been a change in your daughter 's prognosis . mimi : hey , rex , it 's mimi again . why is n't your phone on ? we were supposed to meet and have lunch together , remember ? although i 've already kind of eaten , i guess . actually , it was someone else 's lunch and this whole mess of fries . i 'm going to have so much water retention tomorrow . anyway , are you checking your messages ? where are you ? what 's going on ? i 'm getting worried about you . call me when you get this . bart : hey . you made it . traffic ? man : do n't bust my chops ... barto . where 's the hit ? bart : over there . all right ? right over there . that 's your target . she 's just about getting ready to leave . now , listen , make it look like an accident . whatever you do , make it quick and painless . she 's kind of special . kind of reminds me of me . man : reason enough to whack her . rex : who was the egg donor ? rolf : well , i - i ca n't say . i do n't know . rex : yes , you do . where was she from , huh ? was she from salem ? answer me . rolf : yes ! yes ! she was from salem . rex : who was she ? look , start talking now ! rolf : i have nothing more to say on the subject . rolf : all right . all right , i 'll talk . you want to know who your mother is ? your mother is ... aah ! larry : so , you want to , uh , hook up with me on some sort of anti - victor campaign ? nicole : in a manner of speaking , yes . larry : well , hell , i 'm all for that , but , i mean , let 's , you know , let 's get realistic here . i 'm not exactly the most useful guy to have on your team , i mean , considering i 'm still , um ...

[ scene_break ] shawn d. : uncle roman , i am not just thinking of myself here , okay ? philip wrote me a letter specifically asking me to take care of belle when she found out about his injury . roman : shawn , philip asked you to look after her as a friend . and from what i understand , he did n't have a clue as to what was really going on . shawn d. : no , he did n't . roman : okay . and it seems to me that belle feels bad enough as it is , so i think it 's probably a damn good idea if you just back off for the time being . shawn d. : i ca n't back off and just let her go through this alone . she feels guilty . she blames herself for what happened to philip over there . roman : what happened to philip is n't anybody 's fault . shawn d. : i know that . i tried explaining that to her . she just wo n't hear it . roman : you know what ? i am guessing that you 're starting to worry now that she might decide to stay with philip . shawn d. : as much as i do n't want to talk about something like that right now , yeah , i think that is a possibility , and obviously , you think so , too . roman : right now , i think all belle really knows is she has to be there for philip . shawn d. : so you 're saying that ... that i should give up on belle -- the same way you gave up on marlena . well , i am sorry , but i can not do that because i know i will regret that for the rest of my life . the same way i think you regret giving up on marlena . roman : shawn ... listen to me very closely -- it is not a question of what i wanted then , now , or any time . doc is with john . i am with kate . everybody has to respect that , just like you 're gon na have to respect belle 's decision if she decides to stay with philip . now ... you are my nephew , and i love you very , very much , and i know this is tough , but i 'm here for you if you need me , okay ? but right now , my wife needs me . so you hang in there . shawn d. : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] john : all right , i talked to my contact in the marines . they can get belle on a military transport for germany tonight . but the problem is , there 's only three seats . roman : well , of course kate has to go because she 's philip 's mother . kate : marlena , you should go . you should go , too , to be with belle . marlena : no . no . i think john should go to be with belle . [ scene_break ] lucas : any luck finding mimi ? rex : no . she must have left . i 'm gon na go find her . i got to fill her in about philip and also find out what happened , why she just ran out on me like that . shawn d. : what do you mean she just ran out on you ? rex : i 'll explain it later . i got ta go . shawn d. : i 'll go with you . i 'm not doing much here . lucas : i 'd help , but i got ta find sami . i wonder if she 's heard the news about philip . [ scene_break ] sami : tony , why are you doing this ? i only did what you told me to . tony : well , of course , sami . it 's not my fault . the devil made me do it . is n't that right ? sami : yes , as a matter of fact , because you are the devil . you used me . tony : yes , and you enjoyed every minute of it . oh , we were such a great team . of course you had to go off and find your conscience . now you 're gon na have to pay . sami : what are you planning , tony ? just tell me what you 're going to do to me . tony : all you need to know is that one day when you least expect it , the world as you 've known it will come to a crashing end . sami : no , please just do n't -- lucas : sami ? sami : lucas . tony : oh , goody . lucas : who you talking to ? what are you doing back here ? tony : samantha ... why do n't you just tell him ? [ playing theme music ] [ scene_break ] brady : nicole , i never said there was a conspiracy to keep chloe away from me . nicole : no , but you certainly implied it , and you flat - out accused me of lying . you said i had to know where chloe was , and i 've known for a long time . brady : well , i 'm sure you must have . nicole : think about it , brady . if that was true and i was lying , why on earth would chloe have handed me the phone ? brady : well , maybe she was in shock , you know , to hear my voice . nicole : [ scoffs ] too shocked to talk to you ? [ chuckles ] i do n't think so , brady . and even if i was sitting next to her when you called , why would n't i tell you ? brady : because you 're in love with me , nicole , and you know that ... [ sighs ] you know that if chloe were alive , that i would be with her . nicole : nice . well , that would mean she still loves you . brady : of course . nicole : mm - hmm . so when you called her , i just yanked the phone from her hand , and she just stood there like a deaf - mute while i told you she was dead . yeah , come on , brady . get real ! she would have been screaming , `` brady , it 's chloe . i 'm being held captive by evil nicole . she does n't want us to be together . `` brady : stop it ! nicole : and that is another thing i want to talk about , brady . if chloe jumped out of those bushes right now , you would dump me , would n't you ? brady : it sounds so awful when you say it like that . nicole : but it 's the truth . brady : nicole , you knew that chloe was and will always be the love of my life , okay ? nicole : oh , so i was the whore it was all right for you to be with until the madonna returned . brady : it was n't like that . nicole : oh , really ? brady : nicole , i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry i hurt you . i never meant to hurt you . nicole : i 'm sorry , too , brady . because you 're throwing something wonderful away for nothing . chloe is not alive . brady : i 'm just having a difficult time believing that this was a dimera plot , you know ? i feel it in my heart , okay ? chloe is alive . nicole : then where is she , brady ? if chloe was alive , then why did she come and find me ? why is n't she here with you right this minute ? chloe : [ thinking ] maybe i should be . [ scene_break ] bo : why do you say things like -- hope , you know i did n't want to stay with billie as soon as i knew you were alive . billie knew that , too . that 's why she ended up leaving salem . hope : you were the great love of her life . bo : yeah , just like ma was the great love of victor 's life . and he had the grace and decency to let her stay with the man she was married to , even though it meant leaving the relationship that would give him true happiness . hope : so what you 're saying is you think shawn should do the same -- just step aside and let belle stay with philip , even though belle is in love with shawn . bo : i do n't want our son to be unhappy any more than you do . but belle made a commitment , and that 's the way it is for them . hope : do n't you want to see our son happy ? do n't you want to see him fight for the woman he loves ? i do . bo : no matter who gets hurt ? [ scene_break ] sami : good night , will . sleep tight . [ cell phone beeps ] tony : [ chuckles ] you know , i think i 've got samantha shaking in her boots . bart : mmm . it sounds that way , boss , but be careful . sami 's like a rattlesnake . when she 's cornered , she strikes . sami : i was just saying good night to will , and i wanted some privacy , which is why i was back there , but i 'm just glad that we 're all home , you know , and that we 're all safe . lucas : i wish that were true . we just got some pretty bad news about philip . [ scene_break ] kate : are you sure ? marlena : yes , i am . i think john should go . he knows how to cut through red tape . he can get philip home a whole lot sooner . and , john , you understand the military . you can use your i.s.a . contacts to get things done . i will be there as soon as the plane is fixed . roman : and , uh , you know , look , i 'd go too , but i think i need to get started on that search for ma and victor . i 'm not gon na give up till i find them and bring tony dimera back here for the punishment he deserves . marlena : all righty , then . it 's settled . john , you 'll go with belle and kate . kate : well , i should ... i should pack . roman : well , i 'll drive you . kate : um , that 's all right . i think i just need to be alone a little bit , like belle . you do n't mind , do you ? roman : no . no , i do n't mind at all . i understand . you just give philip my love , okay ? and you tell him how proud we all are of him . kate : i will . roman : bye . [ scene_break ] rex : shawn , thanks for helping me look for mimi . i know you 've got a lot on your mind , so ... shawn d. : yeah , well , i just wish that we could have found her . rex : yeah , well , i 'll just wait here for her . she has to show up eventually , right ? shawn d. : yeah , of course she will . rex : i do n't get it , though . i do n't see why she just took off on me like that and turned her cell phone off . okay , bad idea , shawn . shawn d. : i have to see her . do n't try and stop me . rex : as if i could . i 'll see you later . belle : you should n't be here . shawn d. : but i am . i 'm not letting you go . [ scene_break ] hope : look , all i know is that shawn and belle are miserable . all right , answer this for me , fancy pants -- what happens when philip finally realizes that belle is not in love with him and is still in love with shawn ? then what ? bo : he 'll be devastated , especially after the hell he 's been through . hope : i know . i feel for philip . i really do . and i hope to god that he 's okay . but the fact remains , if it were n't for them being separated by jan , belle and shawn would still be together . bo : we ca n't change what happened . belle has made a commitment . and you 're encouraging our son to break up that marriage . hope : no , that is not what i 'm encouraging . i 'm encouraging them to be happy . belle made a mistake -- a terrible mistake . in the long run , i honestly do believe that philip would be a lot happier , too . he 'll find someone who loves him the way he deserves -- bo : you 're rationalizing . hope : no , i 'm not . bo : yes , you are . you 're saying this , and at the same time , you 're vilifying billie . you say that she 's trying to break up our marriage , right ? hope : this is not the same thing . bo : [ stammering ] yes , it is . you just said that i 'm the true love of her life , right ? so under your rules , even though i 'm married , i 'm still fair game . hope : absolutely not . and i 'll explain why . belle is not in love with her husband . she 's in love with shawn , as you are in love with your wife , madly -- and not billie . that is safe to say , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] nicole : you ca n't answer me , can you ? you ca n't understand if chloe is alive , why she has n't come to you . brady : no , no , i ca n't . but there 's got to be a reason . nicole : you know what ? maybe i 've got her locked up in a dungeon somewhere hidden away . is that what you think ? well , that could n't be it either , because otherwise , how would she have answered the phone ? well , i 've got another scenario for you , brady , okay ? how 's this -- tony dimera planted that phone call to chloe , putting me in the middle to break the two of us up . brady : really ? and why the hell would he do that ? nicole : because he hates us both . he wants to make me look like a liar and you paranoid . brady : would you stop it ? that is absurd , nicole . nicole : is it , brady ? because look at us -- that 's what the dimeras have done to this town . they 've made everybody paranoid and suspicious and that everyone else has some nefarious agenda . that we 're all capable of pretty much anything as long as we get what we want . brady : i really do n't believe that . nicole : all right , brady . [ sighs ] fine . if what you think is the truth , that i am lying , that chloe is alive , then tell me this -- how did i get chloe 's mother , nancy , a woman who hates me , to tell you chloe died in her arms ? how did i get nancy to come all the way back from europe with an urn full of her daughter 's ashes ? oh , i do n't know . maybe -- maybe the urn was empty , and that the memorial service at st. luke 's , well , that was all a sham , too , right ? brady , look , i know you want to believe that chloe 's coming back to you , but she is n't . and you 're gon na drive both of us crazy if you do n't let her go and move on . and if you persist in having this fantasy , then we 're really not gon na have a future together . let me just say one more thing . i truly love you , brady . and i know i can make you happy , but if this is n't what you want , [ voice breaking ] then i hope you and chloe 's ghost live happily ever after . brady : [ sighs ] chloe : [ thinking ] oh , brady . i ca n't bear to see you like this , but do i have the courage to walk up to you right now and tell you i 'm alive ? [ scene_break ] nicole : either i just hit a home run or i struck out . oh , i know leaving brady out there with chloe could be a big risk , but i do n't have a choice . [ cell phone rings ] hello ? tony : good evening , nicole . nicole : who 's this ? tony : who do you think ? nicole : oh , my -- it ca n't be . tony : [ chuckles ] but it can . nicole : but you -- you -- you 're the most wanted man on the planet . you know , the whole free world 's looking for you . tony : yes , i know . i 'm very flattered , but , really , i do n't have time for chitchat , huh ? why i called was to simply tell you i know what you did . nicole : i - i do n't really know what you 're talking about . tony : that you deliberately and maliciously botched chloe lane 's reconstructive surgery and any hope for her to have any kind of happiness . nicole : what ? that 's a lie . i did n't do anything to chloe . she 's dead . that is absurd . tony : oh , cut the crap ! i know you 're guilty . but the question is , i wonder how brady would feel , how he would react , if he found out that not only is chloe alive and maimed for life and refuses to see him , all because of you . [ scene_break ] bo : there you go again . no , i do not love billie . hope : i know . but you did at one time . bo : yeah , but that ended the day you came back into my life . our love was destined from the very beginning . nothing 's gon na change that . hope : just like shawn and belle . bo : oh ! i do n't want to argue about this . you know , let 's let the three adults work this out , and that way , you and i do n't have to take sides . hope : shawn is our son . we should both want the best for him . bo : well , problem is , you think the best for him is to be with belle no matter what , and i think he should honor belle and philip 's vows to each other . hope : and you know what ? bo : what ? hope : ultimately , it 's belle 's choice . bo : right . it is . so you and i can stay out of it . important thing right now is that we 're together , and we 're always gon na be together . hope : finally . bo : yeah . hope : something we agree on . bo : right . i love you , fancy face . more than anything , more than anyone . do n't you ever doubt that . hope : i love you , too . bo : good .

daniel : nicole , i have been a friend to you in every way , but that does n't mean i 'd refuse to do what was right , what had to be done . i gave you one chance after another to tell eric , but you did n't , over and over again and you ... you did n't . and what , for the life of me , i ca n't understand , right at the end , when you knew , you knew it would blow up in your face if you did n't tell him , and you ... you still did n't . why ? nicole : i did n't get a chance to . jennifer beat me to it . eric : jennifer , i do n't want to get ahead of myself . returning to the priesthood , i mean , even if it 's possible , it 's just so much to absorb right now , and all i want to do is just -- jennifer : yeah , you just have to take it one day at a time . eric : like , one hour at a time . jennifer : no , i understand . eric : i 'm glad i know the truth ... finally . and i will always be grateful that you made sure that i found out . jennifer : eric , i just did what i felt i had to do . and i know that we 've talked about all kinds of things , but you never said ... what about you and nicole ? get more free , marlena : how dare you bring up what happened with my son ? kate : well , if the shoe fits , then ... sami : kate does have a point , mom . i mean , you ca n't lecture us on poor judgment when you -- marlena : victor and i were trying to protect brady from a terrible woman . kate : well , sami and i were trying to protect gabi from a horrible man . marlena : attempted murder , not the same as playing a videotape . sami : actually , for the record , it was kate 's idea to drag the body down to the river . kate : what ? sami : you 're the one who made sure that i could n't call the police , right ? kate : well , and actually , sami , you 're the one who pronounced nick dead , now are n't you ? sami : well , you know full well i 'm not a doctor . kate : oh , my god . well , as you can see , your daughter and i are in complete agreement . sami : ha , right . marlena : i can not believe what i 'm hearing from you clowns . kate : what are you talking about ? is this news to you ? gabi just finished telling you about it . marlena : would you excuse us , please ? kate : why ? marlena : i 'd like to speak to my daughter alone . kate : oh , so sami could throw me even further down the river ? sami : let 's not talk about rivers , shall we ? kate : all right , i 'll tell you one thing , you leak one word of this , i am personally going to see to it that you not only lose your license but you never -- marlena : okay , kate , you need to get a grip on yourself . oh , my stars . sami : go . and , mom , you do n't even have to start with me because i know exactly what you 're going to say . gabi : this is something i need to do . i 'll be okay . ej : you will be in the room the entire time ?

jennifer : nicole has been really good to me , and we have worked really hard to be friends , but i know it 's hard for nicole to have friends because she does n't trust , and when someone stands up to her or goes against her ... eric : she feels attacked . jennifer : yeah , and what i did was a direct attack . daniel : yeah , i heard jennifer told eric the truth . nicole : instead of letting me do it . daniel : why is who said what important ? eric had to be told . it was inevitable , and i do n't think eloping to vegas was gon na change that . i would have tracked eric down and told him myself . nicole : would you ? daniel : yeah , nicole , i made it very clear i do n't know how many times -- you were to do it , or i would . you knew that . nicole : maybe . daniel : excuse me ? no , no . there was no maybe about it . nicole : jennifer certainly did n't think so . daniel : jennifer did n't think i would tell eric ? nicole : well , i guess she figured it was up to her . she knew i would n't tell him because , you know , i 'm evil , obviously , and only think about myself , but she did n't think you 'd do it either . daniel : no , i made it very clear it was going to happen . nicole : well , obviously you were n't clear enough . i do n't know , maybe she thinks you 're a coward . hey , you know what ? it does n't even matter anyway . it 's over . i thought you were my friend , maybe the only true friend i 've ever had , but you were n't . you know that whole thing about me wishing you were dead ? you are dead to me , daniel , both you and jennifer . but i 've got news for you , i 'm not giving up . this is n't over . i am going to be happy . ej : so how was your business trip to chicago -- successful ? kate : well , mad world is breaking all records in market share and profits , so yes , it was successful . ej : let 's stop playing games , shall we , kate ? your trip had nothing to do with your company . you went there to see my father . marlena : all right . what was i thinking ? sami : well , we were gon na talk about how i 've screwed up again , right ? and always when we talk about my screw - ups , we have to go back over the long , long list of things that i 've screwed up in the past , right ? so i do n't know , do you want to start with austin or lucas ? i do n't know if we have that kind of time tonight , though , so maybe we should just skip ahead to bernardi , and then you can -- marlena : i was n't gon na do that . i was n't gon na go back . sami : really ? not even to how stupid i was to get myself engaged to ej ? marlena : i was n't gon na criticize you . sami : and yet you somehow always find a way , do n't you ? marlena : listen to me . i wish you would think before you act . i wish you would stop being so impulsive . sami : yeah , well , you know , maybe i should seek counsel , you know , find someone to help me , like a shrink , so they can really , you know , figure out what 's wrong with me . marlena : no , no , no . i was n't saying that . sami : you know , for the record , i do know . i do know the exact moment that my life got turned inside out . marlena : so it 's still my fault ? julie : i just got back from taking nick 's body to his parents and his grandmother . do you have any idea how that felt ? no ? nothing to say ? do you have any concept of what you have done to their lives ? gabi : i think that because i 'm a mother , i have an idea of how much it must hurt . julie : nick loved you . do n't forget , i was there in the hospital room when you went in to see his body , so i saw how much you cared , and -- i 'm curious . why ? why did you kill him ? gabi : i do n't know if i can explain it all . all i can say , julie , is that i just -- i could n't take it anymore . bev : so ? how 'd it go ? cole : it did n't . she caught me opening her purse . bev : well , why the hell did you do it when she could see you ? you were supposed to spill the coffee and then get her to lea -- cole : i did , okay ? give me a break . it just did n't work . hey , but it will next time . and i do n't get the other half of my cash till then , so i guarantee i 'll make it happen , okay ?

jennifer : yeah . i am so sorry i did n't get to warn you about talking to eric . and i know that you understand why i did what i did , but still , it just -- daniel : no , i think i figured it out . you realized i 'd gone into emergency surgery , so i could n't really , you know , take nicole to see eric and make her tell him the truth , so you just , you know , you decided to help me out , and you just went ahead and ... jennifer : no , i did n't . i did n't know that you got called into the o.r . daniel : you did n't ? jennifer : no . i heard you and nicole arguing in the hallway and her constant evasions , so i went to see eric . daniel : wait , so you told eric because ... jennifer : because i felt he needed to know the truth . eric : no , grandma . the party 's been canceled . why should n't you take the night off ? yeah , go enjoy yourself . okay , i 'll see you tomorrow . love you too . [ sighs ] [ door opens ] ej : so wait a second . what happened to your resolve to hate stefano dimera and to never let him back into your life ? kate : who says i have ? ej : well , okay , let 's see who i believe -- you or my eyes . kate : are n't you and sami back together again ? and you wrote the book on on- again - off - again relationships . i mean , why would you be surprised if someone else could change ? ej : so he is back in your life . kate : you know , stefano and i were talking about you and sami and your `` relationship , `` and he 's actually all for the wedding , although he does think you should postpone it . i do n't think you should postpone it . i think you should cancel it . ej : really ? kate : really . i think bringing sami back into the dimera household would be a really big mistake . sami : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , mom , it 's just that when i feel pressured , i lash out . marlena : i understand . i know that . you know that i have so many regrets about ways that i hurt my children when they were growing up . sami : but you always mean well . well , almost always . i mean , even when you played that tape that hurt eric , i know you were just trying to protect brady , but does n't that sound like what kate and i were doing ? we were trying to protect gabi . she 's arianna 's mother . we were trying to help will . you have to believe that . julie : what was it you could n't you take ? all the love he was offering you ? all the dreams he had for you , your baby ? gabi : julie , i do n't -- i do n't expect you to understand . julie : the boy worshipped you . gabi : he worshipped an idea he had . i was pretending like things were okay or things were gon na be better . but he owned me , and every day he would tighten his grip on my life until i could n't breathe . julie : why did n't you just tell him to back off ? gabi : because that would have set him off , and who knows what he would have done ? he was trying to take arianna away from will and sonny . he took control of my life and arianna 's life . julie : so you murdered him ? gabi : i 'm so sorry . i know that what i did was wrong , and i know i ca n't change it , julie . i 'm sorry . julie : yeah , well , you got that right . gabi : i know that you loved him , and i 'm so very sorry , julie . hope : julie ... it 's time . come on . julie : i hope you hate yourself ... for the rest of your life . [ door closes ] daniel : i mean , jenn , you probably already understand this , and , i mean , yeah , i was locked away in surgery . but i 'd spent so much time trying to get nicole to do the right thing , i was absolutely prepared to put her in front of eric and make her tell him the truth . jennifer : yeah . i know , you 're -- you are so kind to everyone , and you are so understanding , but sometimes i just think i know nicole a little bit better than you do . she never would have told eric the truth , daniel . daniel : okay , no , no , no , no . she would have had to . jennifer : no , daniel . i mean it . i 'm serious . from the minute she found that evidence to clear eric 's name , she 's been lying , and she would have kept on lying . that 's why i feel like i had no choice but to tell him . daniel : okay , okay . maybe you can think that , but -- jennifer : no , daniel , she twists things , and she -- she convinces people , and i know she would have tricked eric to leave town and to marry her and to live some crazy life somewhere . daniel : come on . come on . i would have got ahold of him . i would have talked to him -- jennifer : no , you would n't of been able to get ahold of him because she would have taken his phone . i guarantee you she would have kept him in the dark forever if possible . i really believe that , daniel . daniel : no , jennifer . she would n't have . nicole : eric . there 's still so much we need to talk about , and i -- i needed to see you . eric : we 're not gon na have any long conversation about anything . i do n't want to hear any more excuses . no more lies . no more anything . but there is one thing that needs to be said about that engagement ring you 're still wearing . i do n't want it back . nicole : does that mean you -- eric : no , i 'll tell you what i want . i do n't want to see that ring again . so please take it off your finger . julie : well , did you believe a single word she said ? hope : what i believe is that nick did n't deserve to die . that 's what i believe . julie , nick had a lot of emotional problems . and from what i dug up during the investigation , he was making life hell for a lot of people , including the people that cared about him . julie : so a lot of people wanted him dead . well , no . no , it 's wrong . i do n't care what nick did . he was sorry for it . he repented . he told me so . and he deserved to have a second chance . but gabi saw to it that he did n't get one , so gabi does n't deserve to get one either . ej : so why the 180 ? kate : look , just because i met with stefano does n't mean -- ej : no , no , no , no , i 'm talking about samantha . i thought you two had found a way to get along , hmm ? so what happened ? kate : well , marlena happened . gabi gave her the whole down - by - the - river story , and then marlena confronted -- ej : whoa , whoa , whoa . wait a second . marlena knows what happened ? how did she find out ? kate : she did a psych profile for hope off the record . of course she ca n't breathe a word of it , you know , the whole doctor - patient thing . it has to be confidential . ej : right . kate : anyway , sami did n't like the fact that her mother was making her feel guilty , and she threw me under the bus . of course sami only cares about sami , you know ? and since you 're still so determined to marry her , that 's something you would do well to keep in mind . marlena : i wish you had come to me with this . sami : seriously ? how am i supposed to come to you for anything , i mean , when you so clearly judge me and condemn me ?

[ scene_break ] daniel : how 's the pain ? kate : the pain 's manageable . whatever you gave me sure took the edge off . daniel : good , good , because we 're gon na run some more tests , make sure we cover all our bases . kate : so , what 's wrong with me ? you must have some idea . daniel : believe me , we 're gon na do everything we can to find out . kate : is chelsea here ? daniel : i think i , uh , may have scared her off . [ scene_break ] philip : i 've asked chloe for some space . morgan : so you guys are involved ? philip : we have a history . me asking her for space does n't mean i do n't care for her or that i want us to stop enjoying each other 's company . but as far as the future 's concerned , i honestly do n't know . morgan : and you 've talked to her about this ? philip : mm - hmm . morgan : and she 's okay with it ? philip : well , not really . morgan : hmm . good for her . philip : come again ? morgan : no self - respecting woman would buy into that garbage .

[ scene_break ] daniel : i would rather not talk about chelsea right now . my concern is you . kate : i do n't want chelsea hurt , daniel . daniel : oh , and i do ? i care for her probably more than i should . but me having to be the mature one here ? kate : `` the mature one `` ? i do n't think -- daniel : my whole entire adult life has been spent being mr . responsible , a professional , a successful doctor -- caring for people when they 're sick , offering them encouragement and compassion when they are scared out of their mind , and at the very least giving them hope when there is none , and i love that . i want to be that man . but when i am out of this hospital , i just want to be left alone . and then this girl -- she just -- she just walks into my life ... and that 's it . that 's exactly what it is . she is just a girl . kate : and ? daniel : it wo n't work . kate : are you sure ? daniel : i ca n't be who i want to be when i 'm with her -- not now , not ever . and i will be reckless as hell with my life , but not hers . kate : and if she starts to work here ? daniel : [ exhales sharply ] if she starts to work here , i -- hmm . i do n't know . it -- it wo n't make a difference . it is hands - off from now on . chelsea : you guys done talking about me now ? [ scene_break ] morgan : you did n't answer my question . philip : i thought it was a rhetorical question . morgan : you did not . philip : if you want to know why your father does n't like me , i suggest you ask him . morgan : he wo n't tell me , and it 's kind of interesting seeing how you 're everything he 's told me to look for in a man -- not that i 'm interested in you in that way . philip : of course not . morgan : i mean , you 're powerful , rich , well - educated . did i mention rich ? philip : that 's pretty high on your father 's priority list ? shocker . morgan : well , it 's not high on mine . philip : you have n't got a gold - digging bone in your body , right ? morgan : my list is different than my father 's . philip : all right . let 's have it , then . what 's this list ? what are you looking for in a man ?

[ chuckling ] mmm . he 's right . oh , it is irresistible . what are you smiling about ? john : about how many things we have in common . although i must say i am a little envious of you . ava : yeah ? why ? john : well , because you -- you have a sense of who you used to be . ava : but i thought you said it was liberating not to . john : sometimes . more often than not , it 's really frustrating . ava : mm . yeah , i guess i can imagine ... although sometimes i really wish that i could forget parts of my past and just erase it . john : no , do n't say that . ava : are you telling me what to do already ? john : no . it 's just that even a past you regret is important . it makes you who you are now . it gives you character . ava : yeah , i guess you 're right . john : i know there are things in your past that have scarred you , that haunt you . but i would still prefer that than ... just making things up as i go along , without any guidelines -- moral or otherwise . ava : you know what ? i think maybe we could help each other . john : how ? ava : well , i 'm just starting to discover [ laughs ] my morals , so maybe we could explore them together . john : well , then our third toast of the evening will be to discovery and ... exploration .

[ scene_break ] robbins : so , you 're -- you 're giving the grant money back . mind if i ask why ? nick : because if you want to build the eco - prototype , that 's your guy . robbins : just what kind of a game do you think you 're playing here , mr. fallon ? nick : i do n't really think i 'm playing a game , dean robbins . if you want to give somebody credit for the prototype , give it to him .

[ scene_break ] will : conditions , huh ? ej : i mean , you did n't seriously think i 'd pay your bail out of the goodness of my heart , did you ? did n't think so . will : okay , why ? is it because you know i did n't shoot stefano ? ej : i do n't really have an opinion as to your innocence or guilt when it comes to my father 's murder . i did it for the same reason that i do most things in life , william : because it serves my purposes . will : i do n't get it . ej : well , allow me to break it down for you . i help you , you help me . see , i do something for you , and you do anything for me . once again , william , i own you . [ scene_break ] sami : yeah , we decided to use this really great lawyer . he 's the best . rafe : good . lucas : yeah . justin . he 's gon na call us as soon as he can . rafe : justin ? sami : he 's in court . rafe : oh , yeah . no , i know justin . he 's -- he 's , uh ... he 's good . he is good . but he 's a little bit outside of his area of expertise in this case . you know , he does corporate law , all right ? now will , he 's waiting over there . he 's waiting to get bailed out . so maybe you just pick up the phone , you call carrie , and that 's it . sami : are you kidding ? i mean , she got her law degree in switzerland in , like , two months . rafe : that 's not true . sami : well , whatever . i 'm sure you know all of the details -- rafe : wow . sami : but i know that you think she 's perfect , and that you think she 's fantastic and brilliant and all of those things . i do n't think she 's the best lawyer in the world . lucas : all right , sami , that 's enough . sami : it 's true . and what 's most important in a lawyer is someone you trust , and that 's not carrie . rafe : okay , if this has something to do with my relationship with carrie -- sami : you think ? rafe : never happened . sami : right , right , right , right -- rafe : she 's with austin , she 's happy . i figured you 'd know that . sami : i do n't talk to her that much . i figured you 'd know that . why are you pushing for us to use carrie so hard anyway ? rafe : i 'm not . sami : is it that you 're having trouble with the fact that she 's actually trying to make her marriage work -- which i 'm sure is a shocking concept for you . or that you 're dealing with rosemary 's baby ? i mean nicole . lucas : all right , time out . come on . rafe : the only reason that i suggested carrie was because i thought she could have a positive outcome in will 's case . which is what i thought was important here . evidently not . or maybe it 's just because you can never stop thinking about yourself . not even for one minute . [ scene_break ] john : well , then you are accusing us of lying . roman : john , i asked all of you if you 'd been in the mansion last night . you all lied to me . so i hope that 's the end of that . so if either one of you knows anything -- anything at all -- that you have n't told me yet , now would be an excellent time to do that . [ phone ringing ] roman : station . excuse me . marlena : will must be terrified being locked up there like an animal . john , we 've got to go over there . roman : most likely , he 's gone by now . marlena : why do you say that ? roman : he 's out . he made bail . marlena : oh , thank god . john : no , no , no . who posted it ? roman : none other than junior . marlena : why would ej post his bail ? roman : good question . [ scene_break ] will : okay , you own me . so you do me the favor of getting me out of here , and then i owe you for how long ? ej : till you 're paid up . will : yeah , um , no , thanks . i do n't need your help . ej : no ? will : no , i actually have a family , and they are probably on their way right now to post my bail . ej : oh , i do n't have any doubt that they are , old boy . but it seems to me that there are certain aspects of this case that , um , they really ca n't help you with . will : like what ? ej : the district attorney is building a pretty substantial case against you . will : yeah , they know some things , but i 'm not the only suspect . ej : no , that 's very true . i mean , i - i should be the first person to say that there are some significant holes in the case that they have . for example , they would need to prove that , uh , you know how to handle a firearm . they would need to prove that you had a motive for wanting to kill my father , and i ca n't think of any reason that you would want him dead , can you ? will : nope . ej : well , good . can i ask you a question ? will : shoot . ej : how much do you think that it would strengthen their case if they were to find out that you had experience handling a firearm ? if they were to find out that you had used a firearm with the intent to kill someone ? because , william , it seems to me that that rather potent piece of information would speak to capability , would speak to motivation . and if a jury were to find out that it were me who you tried to kill , i think that would speak to the integrity of your character , william . so that crosses character off the list . now let 's go to motivation , shall we ? if they were to find out that my father was blackmailing you with said information , you 'd certainly have a reason to want him dead , would you not ? will : that 's not fair . you already used that to get me to work for you . so you ca n't blackmail me twice over the same thing . ej : [ chuckles ] william , there 's not a statute of limitations when it comes to your dubious personal history . your previous experience with firearms and my family is a little bit like the gift that keeps on giving . will : but i did n't shoot stefano . and if you do this and you put me away , then the real murderer is just gon na walk free . why would you want that ? ej : look ... how do i know that you 're not his killer ? i mean , what better way to honor my father 's life than to put his killer in jail for the rest of his life ? will : but what you 're saying is that you 'd be okay with me not being convicted as long as you get what you want , which is me doing whatever you tell me to do . ej : you know , william , i 'm really beginning to admire your mental acuity . i think you and i are finally beginning to understand one another . [ scene_break ] sami : how dare you ? my son is the most important thing in the world to me , and i am never thinking of myself more than him . i would hire anyone if i thought it would give will an edge . rafe : well , if you say so . sami : you know what ? i do n't have to stand here and take your condescension . i 'm out of here . rafe : just trying to help will . sami : yeah , well , he does n't need your help , rafe . 'cause you know what ? he 's innocent , and he is going to beat this . rafe : well , i hope you 're right . hope you 're right . [ phone beeping ] sami : lucas , can we just go ? lucas : yeah , let 's get out of here . rafe : hold on . he 's out . lucas : what do you mean he 's out ? rafe : will made bail . sami : what ? rafe : he made bail . sami : that 's -- that 's amazing . lucas : it must have been justin . he must 've gotten our message when he got out of court . sami : wait , that means he 's still at the police station , right ? let 's -- let 's go . [ scene_break ] john : ej dimera . that 's interesting . considering the man never does anything out of the goodness of his heart . roman : you took the words right out of my mouth . if ej posted bail for will , there sure as hell is something in it for him . marlena : like what ? roman : i do n't know . makes me wonder if ej owes will something . or maybe the other way around . or -- marlena : or you 're thinking that there 's a conspiracy between will and ej ? that somehow will is doing ej 's dirty work ? roman : i 'm not discounting anything at this point . after all , will did work for ej . marlena : ej fired him . and there is no conspiracy going on , and if you think about it for just a minute , you 'll remember that will could n't hurt anyone . [ scene_break ] will : okay , honestly , you do n't have to twist my arm . just hire me back . i actually like working for you . ej : did you ? did you like that nice sports car you were zipping around town in ? did you like having your friends over to that penthouse apartment so they could enjoy the view ? will : well , yeah , of course . i mean , but i also like the actual job and the responsibility . ej : you like the power , william . you like the power . will : yeah . so , great , just put me back on the payroll . ej : it 's not that easy . will : well , it can be . why ca n't it ? ej : you know the answer to that question . you betrayed my trust , william , and it 's going to take you a very long time to earn it back . will : i already apologized for that . i 'm sorry . i did n't want to tell rafe about you and my mom , but i did n't have a choice . stefano was blackmailing me . i -- we went -- ej : we 've been through that , william , several times . do you know the quality that i admire most in an employee ? loyalty . when my father threatened you , you should 've come to me . will : he was -- he did n't threaten me . he blackmailed me . which , by the way , is the same thing that you 're doing to me right now . ej : you 're incredibly shortsighted , you know that . you 're not stupid , william . you backed the wrong horse , mate . he 's out , i 'm in . tough luck . will : okay . here 's the thing , though . i know that if you were in my position right now , you would n't stand here and take this . not for a second . so why do you expect me to ? ej : because i 'm me and you 're you . and i hold all the cards , william . will : not exactly . yeah , you know , i did n't work for you as long as i did without finding a few things that you probably would n't want made public , mr. mayor . [ train whistle blowing ] ej : are you threatening me , william ? will : i do n't know . i mean , if that 's what it sounded like , i guess so . ej : you have some nerve . will : i 'm just not as stupid as you seem to think that i am . ej : okay . maybe `` stupid `` was a little bit harsh . but you 're foolish . you 're very foolish . i 'd take back that last remark , if i were you . will : no , i do n't think so , because , uh ... you know some stuff about me , i know some stuff about you . we 're even . ej : that 's stupid . you might want to think long and hard about what happened the last time you tried to bluff me , and how that worked out for you . you thought you could get away with murder , did n't you ? or at least attempted murder . will : you do n't know what you 're talking about . my dad shot you , not me . ej : let me tell you something : the next time you try and pull something like this , especially to a dimera , you better make sure they do n't have any secrets on you . will : you 've made your point . ej : unfortunately for you , william , i have only just begun . if , as you say , you 're aware of some occasions on which i may have crossed a line or wandered into an ethical grey area , you 'll know what kind of man i am . and you 'll know exactly what i do to protect what is dear to me . and that , william , that is a threat . [ scene_break ] marlena : i spoke to will the day ej fired him . he was upset . that was not an act . roman : you sure about that ? marlena : i know will . perhaps better than all of you do . john : but you 're not convinced about that , are you ? marlena : you know , i - i do n't believe this , that i 'm having to defend will to all of you . john : hey , hey , hey , hey , easy , doc . the madder you get , the guiltier you look in roman 's book . that 's kind of the way it works nowadays , is n't it ? roman : you know what ? this is n't helping . marlena : it seems like the only person you care about here , really , is stefano . roman : you got to be kidding me . what ? the only damn thing stefano is to me here is a dead body and a murder victim . marlena : and that 's what he deserves . and just because you 're on this case right now does not mean you get to forget everything you know about the people you love . i do n't know how you sleep , suspecting all of us . roman : i do n't sleep , marlena . and i hate every second of it , but i got no choice here . so if i happen to be asking you questions that upset you , well , stop taking it so damn personally and help me solve the case . [ scene_break ] ej : so tell me ... are you going to work for me , or not ? sami : will ? oh , my god , i 'm so glad you 're out . will : hey . sami : oh , god . is justin with the judge ? will : uh , not that i know of . sami : what is he doing here ? will : yeah , justin did n't pay my bail . lucas : you paid will 's bail ? sami : why ? ej : you really need to ask me why i posted william 's bail ? lucas : yeah , yeah , i guess we do . ej : because i saw an opportunity to help a young man in need , the same reason you would 've done , lucas . you 're welcome . sami : we 'll , um , i 'll pay you back , of course . ej : it 's fine . rafe : you do know what the charges are against him , why he was arrested ? ej : yeah . rafe : right . well , it sort of begs the question -- why did you want to see him out ? ej : because i do n't think that william had anything to do with shooting my father , do you ? rafe : oh . ej : do any of you ? lucas : no , we do n't . but we care about him , and you do n't , do you ? 'cause you fired him . you fired him because he could n't be trusted . so why help him now ? why -- why this sudden act of generosity ? ej : lucas , the young lad was arrested for murder . so angry or not , i 'm not about to abandon him in his hour of need . sami : okay , will , why do n't you tell us what 's going on ? will : um ... nothing , really , i ... i mean , i 'm -- i 'm out . he posted my bail . i 'm a free man . i can leave right now . i think i owe him a thank you . can we go now because -- before the judge changes his mind ? ej : speaking of which , i have some business that i need to attend to . sami : hey , uh , ej ... thanks . ej : samantha . sami : [ sighs ] come on . lucas : hey , wait a second . just between us . you buying any of this ? rafe : hmm . [ scene_break ] roman : i am sorry it has to be this way . john : yeah , yeah , yeah . just doing your job , we know . roman : look , i knew coming over here it was n't gon na be easy , but i thought i owed it to both of you ... john : mm - hmm . roman : to tell you the news about will in person . marlena : thank you for that . roman : you know what ? this is n't fun for me either . and , like you , i hope that our investigation turns up other facts that prove that will had nothing to do with stefano 's murder . john : i see . so you 're expecting us to believe that this investigation of yours is gon na be ongoing even though you think you have stefano 's killer . roman : again , john , you know me . so you should know that answer is yes , we will continue this investigation in earnest . we have a corpse . will has been charged with murder . but i guarantee you that this is hardly a done deal . as a matter of fact , my gut tells me this case is gon na chew up a few other people before we close the file on it . john : well , you know what ? that 's the only thing he said tonight that i believe . [ scene_break ] rafe : sorry about that . lucas : no , it 's no problem . what were you saying before ? rafe : well , just that i have a few more questions as to why ej posted will 's bail . lucas : he had to have known as soon as sami and i heard that we would 've done the same thing . we would 've posted his bail . he just wanted to beat us to it . rafe : yeah . well , i was watching him while he was doing his little pitch as to how will could n't possibly be responsible for stefano 's murder . lucas : what do you think about that ? was that real ? rafe : i do n't know . what i do know is that there are n't a hell of a lot of people who 'd be nice to the person who was just arrested for killing their father . unless , of course , ej knows something that he 's not telling us . lucas : well , he 's a dimera through and through . he does n't do anything without a reason . question is what ? rafe : yeah . that 's what i plan on finding out . lucas : wait . wait a second , rafe . rafe : yeah . lucas : uh , i 'm really sorry about what sami said earlier about carrie . it was out of line . rafe : do n't worry about it . but , uh , if you do have the opportunity to get through to her , you should , because i think carrie 's will 's best bet on beating this . roman : rafe , i need to speak with you . rafe : yeah . roman : lucas , do you mind ? lucas : no , no , not at all . that 's my cue . i know when to leave . rafe : all right . lucas : good luck . rafe : thanks . roman : i hear will made bail courtesy of mayor dimera himself . rafe : yeah . news travels fast , huh ? roman : yeah , bad news especially . i mean , you know this makes will look even guiltier . rafe : yeah . roman : so john and marlena want my head on a platter . but we got to be realistic here . we got to check all the possibilities . rafe : yeah . well , lucas and i , we were just batting around the same question . now why in god 's name would ej come down here to bail out will in such a hurry , right ? unless , um ... all right , look , obviously he 's up to something . but the idea that ej and will are somehow working on this cover - up together ? i do n't know . i think i 'm with john and marlena on this one . roman : you know what , rafe ? i would give my left arm to be wrong about this , but i got a feeling that ej 's not the only one holding out here . i think that will is hiding something too , and if it 's the same thing , then -- rafe : yeah . well , you 're right . he has changed a lot in the last few months . roman : yeah , i never did get why he went to work for ej . i mean , after all ... i mean , it was his mother he saw ej with . rafe : yeah . well , i think he always blamed her more than him . i also think that he went to work for ej as some sort of way to punish her , to hurt her . it worked . roman : yeah , yeah , maybe at the start that was what it was , but i - i got the impression that eventually he really enjoyed his job . rafe : well , yeah . come on , think about it , right ? will 's a kid . ej 's given him a fancy apartment , a new car , independence from his parents . who does n't want that , right ? roman : right , that is a very good point . i 'm not sure at his age i would 've been strong enough to turn those things down . rafe : exactly . that 's what i 'm saying . roman : lot of puzzle pieces flying around here , none fitting together . but when we get those right pieces , it will work out . it always does .

'cause i 'm not going anywhere . kayla : where are they ? what . ej : hey . shh , samantha . hey , come on . give me the gun , sweetie . give me the gun . give me the gun . give me the gun , okay ? it 's okay . sami : he was gon na kill rafe . gabi : what ? sami : he was gon na kill him . i had to shoot him . i had to stop him . ej : just breathe . step back , ladies . kayla : we need to get him to the o.r . stat . god . sami : [ whimpers ] ej : it 's okay . give me the firearm . ej : just breathe . breathe . breathe . what happened here ? ej : do n't say anything , samantha . sami : he was trying to kill -- ej : no , no , samantha , hey . shh . no . sami : i shot -- ej : okay , this woman 's in shock . can you please just get me some medical attention . sami : but -- ej : now ! sami : he was -- ej : shh . okay , shh . baby , shh . no , no , shh . kayla : okay , where are we going ? o.r . two . kayla : let 's go . goldreich is scrubbing in right now . ej : it 's okay . hey , hey , you 're okay . just breathe . just b -- i love you . look at me . breathe . get this locked up . kate : you know exactly who 's responsible for this . ej : i do n't know anything and neither do you . come on , sweetie . let 's go , let 's go . it 's okay . do n't leave the hospital . gabi : thank god sami was here . who -- who would try to kill rafe ? [ opera music plays ] the joint is jumpin ' eric : okay , this explosion that happened . you would n't even consider telling me about it . brady : eric , trust me . you do n't wan na hear about it . eric : okay , so whatever happened was bad enough that there 's no possible chance that you can -- brady : can -- can we -- look , man , can we just stick with us ? okay , i came here today to make sure you and i were all right . that 's all . eric : okay . i get it . no counseling , right ? brady : mm . eric : just talk about the cubs . guy stuff . brady : playin ' hoops . eric : yeah , men . brady : drinkin ' beer . eric : great . brady : that kind of thing . i 'm glad you 're my brother . eric : mm , step brother . brady : come on . eric : [ laughs ] stop pushing it there , black . brady : brother . kristen : so you 're going after brady ? is that what you 're saying ? nicole : not if it upsets you . kristen : you 're not above using him to get what you want . nicole : oh , of course you would think that . brady and i are friends . we always have been , and we always will be . sometimes , you know , we 're friends with benefits . and when it comes to those benefits , as you know , brady provides a very comprehensive package . ooh , look at you . those eyes are getting all squinty . you do n't like when i talk about it , do you ? kristen : you make me so , incredibly sick . nicole : oh , do i ? maybe i do . kristen : yes , you do . nicole : but i sure as hell know your achilles heel , bitch . and as a dimera , i know you hate hearing this , but you lost . brady knows all about you , and he hates you , and he 's never going back to you . and you know what ? i 'm available , if he needs to bury his rage . but even if i 'm not , he will never , ever go back to you . kristen : [ grunts ] john : i 'm so sorry that i hurt you , doc . but i was only thinking of brady . marlena : taking one for the team , huh ? john : i told myself i had to try to make him see who kristen really was , and what she really wanted -- marlena : but to get that far , to think you could go through with that , you must have known that you had some feelings for her . is n't that what you told me ? john : i - i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe . yes . i - i - i hate it . i do n't kn -- i 'm s -- i -- marlena : you 're what ? you 're sorry ? you 're sorry ? you know what ? i 'm sorry too . i think i 'm so much more sorry than you are . i was sick with grief and guilt because i had hurt you . and now it turns out -- now it turns out that you are just like kristen . no , i 'm wrong . you are worse than she is . john black , after everything -- after everything , i never thought we would come down to this place . and we have . and i am done . gabi : oh , my gosh . i thought this whole nightmare was over when that guy , jensen , died . i mean , who would try to kill my brother ? kate ? kate : i - i do n't know , honey . i do n't know . gabi : [ sighs ] you two should wait outside . gabi : no , i am not going to leave my brother alone . great security he had . okay , then just do n't touch anything till the police get here . gabi : oh , my gosh . can you imagine what would have happened if sami was n't checking on him ? why did she even have a gun ? kate : i gave it to her . gabi : why ? kate : thank god she had it . hope : what the hell happened ? gabi : somebody tried to kill rafe . kate : sami shot him . hope : what -- ej : it 's okay . sami : [ whimpering ] ej : sit down . just -- just hold on . here . hey , come on , drink this . shh . okay . tell me what happened . keep your voice down . sami : i do n't know . i do n't know . ej : samantha , you -- you just shot somebody . okay ? now the police are going to be here any minute , and you 're going to have to give them a statement eventually . sami : well , he was going to try to kill rafe . i could n't just stand there and watch it happen . i had to do something . i had to protect rafe . i had to . eric : i know it 's late , but the school 's future is at stake . you know , i 'm going to go to the capitol . i 'm -- i 'm going to resolve this if it 's the last thing that i do . i know it 's not going to be easy , but it 's not over . i 'm not giving up . bye . kristen : ow .

ej : we 're going home . hope : no , no , no , she 's not going -- ej , stop . there 's an active investigation going on here , and we need to cover all bases . abe : look , if you would just skip your standard aria about being aggrieved and how we 're inept , this will go a whole lot faster . i 'm going to go talk to kayla . hope : okay . now , sami , can you tell me what happened ?

i saw it . i saw the light reflecting on the blade , so i knew it was a knife , and i knew he was going to swing down . he was going to stab him , so i - i did n't have time to scream . i did n't have time to -- to do anything else . all i could do was just sh -- shoot . you know , i had to do it . i had to save -- save rafe . he was going to kill him . you 're sure you do n't want me to call the cops ? brady : no , i can handle this . it 's fine . nicole : she went crazy , brady . she attacked me . kristen : that 's not true . nicole : she does n't like that we 're friends . kristen : that 's not true . if you would just give me a second , give me five minutes . i 'll explain this whole -- brady : i do n't want to talk to you . i do n't ever want to talk to you again . kristen : please , just listen to me . eric : excuse me , what 's going on ? that woman there just attacked that other woman . kristen : i promise you , i can explain the whole situation to -- brady : make me a promise -- of course you can explain . you 're the queen of explanation , kristen . in the beginning , you explained to me how you had changed , and then you explained to me how you did n't want to hurt my family and get between us . and then you explained to me how you wanted to get married to me , show the whole world how much you loved me . lie after lie after lie , and then the biggest lie came when you told me that you loved me . `` i love you , brady . `` kristen : oh , brady , that was just -- brady : shut up ! just shut up . i do n't want to hear this . i 'm so sick of the words that come out of your mouth . they 're all lies . remember when you came to the hospital and visited me , after you had me beat up ? you know what happens when someone gets beat up that badly ? they want to strike back . they want to hit someone . they want to fight . and i have grown to hate you . i hate you almost as much as i hate myself for falling for your -- for your line of crap , kristen . kristen : look , everything you 're saying is true . but i did fall in love with you , brady . i love you . brady : i - i hope you -- i hope you love me . kristen : i do . brady : because , now that we 're done and we 're over , it 's going to make it a hell of a lot harder for you . kristen : do you really mean it ? we 're over ? brady : yeah . brady : you okay ? you all right ? nicole : should n't i be asking you that ? brady : i 'm fine . ca n't you tell ? eric : are you two all right ? brady : yeah . yeah , i 'm -- look , i got ta -- i got ta get out of here . nicole : no . come on , brady , let 's go get a - a drink or something . brady : no , i ca n't . no , no , i got -- i got something i got ta do for my , um , my grandfather . i 'll see you . got ta go . eric : he 's not going to talk to us . he 's in full shut down mode . nicole : i hate full shut down mode . eric : tell me about it . nicole : hey . brady : what ? nicole : come here . eric : you know , it 's over , and it 's all going to get better . brady : yeah . it always does . maxine : you missed your mama as much as she missed you , did n't you , darling ?

sami : kate gave it to me as an engagement present . hope : is n't that odd , even for kate ? sami : i did what i had to do . i registered it . hope : and you loaded it , and you put it in your purse . sami : and now i 'm glad i did . hope : you have n't asked at all about the man you shot . ej : oh , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . why would she ask about him ? please , the guy was trying to kill rafe . sami : is he alive ? hope : he 's still in surgery . once we identify him , then maybe we 'll be able to find out why he was in rafe 's room . sami : i told you why he was in rafe 's room . he was trying to kill him . abe : hope -- hope : what 's up ? abe : he 's in surgery . kayla found his i.d . the victim 's joseph bernardi . hope : detective bernardi ? abe : yeah . the man you shot was a police officer . [ door slams ] stefano : come in , katherine . kate : you knew i 'd come , you son of a bitch . ej : look , i mean , if this guy was trying to kill rafe , i think it 's pretty safe to assume that he was a dirty cop . hope : we do n't assume anything in our jobs . abe : and we do n't need your theory of the crime . detective bernardi was a decorated veteran of the force . sami : he had a knife , and he was going to kill rafe with it , i swear to god . hope : sami , did you know him ? sami : give me my bag back . give me -- [ both grunting ] sami : ow ! yeah , i probably saw him at the police station when i was visiting my dad or -- or rafe . hope : bernardi and rafe were very close . ej : of course they were . i mean , look , if you were a corrupt police officer , you would do everything you could to appear as amiable as possible -- abe : ej , would you just keep your mouth shut ? or we 'll do this down at the station . ej : i 'm not going to keep my mouth shut . and this has gone a long way past taking a statement . abe : so now you 're her attorney , huh ? ej : do n't say anything else . i will act as such until she has proper representation . we are going home . abe : no , no , no , no , no . [ cell phone chimes ] abe : no , you 're not going anywhere . nicole : do you think i should call brady ? eric : i doubt he 'll answer . look , i know you offered to help with this paperwork , but if -- if you want to turn in -- nicole : no , i do n't -- i do n't want to turn in . i would n't be able to sleep , anyway . eric : you 're really worried about him , are n't you ? nicole : he 's just been through so much . eric : yeah , that 's right . which is why i ca n't help but wonder -- how involved in his life are you planning on getting ? nicole : you know , on second thought , good night . john : hey , kid . we got ta talk . brady : yeah , yeah . i figured , after my little chat with , uh , kristen , you 'd be hanging around . john : please . brady : i 'm glad you did . 'cause i 'm more than ready for us to have a talk . marlena : kristen , wait . kristen : look , i have nothing to say to you . marlena : i have a lot to say to you , and it wo n't wait . kate : the next time you try to kill rafe , i suggest that you think about it long and hard . and if , for some crazy reason , you decide to do it again , then you should send your thugs for me , as well , because i promise you , i will do anything and everything to make sure you 're a dead man . and this time , you 'll stay dead . stefano : [ clucks tongue ] ay , yi , yi . ej : look , this is ridiculous . it 's also actionable . sami : ej -- hope : sami ... sami : no , i did n't do -- hope : why did you think bernardi was a threat ? sami : he was trying to kill rafe . he was trying to kill him . and he had a knife in his hand . and i saw the blade . i saw it . and he was going to stab rafe , and that is why i shot him . what ? abe : forensics went over the room . there was no knife . in fact , detective bernardi had no weapon of any sort on him at all . | marlena was upset that john admitted to having feelings for kristen . just before bernardi carried out stefano 's order to cut rafe , sami shot him . kayla , maxine , and ej saw sami with the gun . ej wanted to know what she was doing . gabi and kate came in rafe 's room and wondered what was going on . ej got everybody out of the room . ej wanted sami to give him the gun . nicole and kristen argued over brady . sami told everyone that bernardi was going to kill rafe . kate let ej and sami know who was responsible for trying to kill rafe . nicole and kristen continued to argue over brady and then it turned physical . they started fighting at the town square . marlena ripped into john when he tried to explain his feelings for kristen . marlena told him she was done with him . hope and abe showed up at the hospital . kate told hope that sami shot the man who tried to kill rafe . ej wanted sami to tell him what happened . she said bernardi was trying to kill rafe so she had to protect him . |
tad : all right . is there anything else i can get you ? rafe : no , thanks . tad : i was -- ej : hey . excuse me . rafe , thank you for meeting me . rafe : what 's going on ? ej : i just wanted to keep you in the loop regarding gabriela 's case . rafe : what 's this ? ej : that 's her plea deal . gabi : thank you so much for coming . it means a lot . jordan : of course . but , gabi , why did you have abe call me and not rafe ? [ cell phone ringing ] jj : ignore it . paige : mm , it 's my mom 's -- it 's my mom 's ring . [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] mom ? what ? i can barely hear you . what did you say ? yeah , i 'm home . why ? where are you ? you are too ? uh ... sami : mom , hey . mom , come on . wait up . nicole : i know what you want , and i wo n't do it . i wo n't take this ring off ever . eric : even though it 's not gon na mean anything anymore ? nicole : eric , please , just listen to me . you do n't know the whole story . [ door slams ] marlena : what story ? daniel : either nicole said what had to be said , or i would tell eric myself . you do believe me , do n't you ? jennifer : what i believe is that you are a kind and caring and amazing man , and i love you with all my heart . daniel : but , see , you 're not answering my question . jenn ? nicole : well , we 're trying to have a private conversation , and you 're not part of it . sami : we are now . marlena : were n't you meant to be gone by now ? sami : gone where ? eric : mom . nicole : could you just leave us alone please ? sami : eric , what is going on ? eric : nicole and i were going to elope . but now we 're not . jennifer : you know what , it has been a long , hard day . and everything that happened with nicole and with gabi , i just -- i want to be with you . and i just want to remind myself how lucky we both are . daniel : yeah , i have never forgotten how lucky i am . jennifer : great , so , you know , i do n't think we need to talk about this right now , okay ? ca n't it wait ? daniel : honestly , jenn , i do n't think it can . paige : mom , i - i thought you were n't coming home until -- we have a terrible connection . what ? oh , you 'll be here this week . [ both sigh ] paige : tonight ? just studying for finals . only one to go . when i 'm done ? nothing else going on . i 'll probably just go to bed early . gabi : i did n't want rafe to know that i asked you to come see me . jordan : why not ? gabi : jordan , i do n't know you very well , and i have no idea what you must think of me after ... look , i just -- i do n't want this to change the way that you feel about my brother . rafe : [ muttering ] so what 's the bottom line here ? ej : if gabi accepts the plea , the sentence would be 10 to 20 years . rafe , the governor 's and the mayor 's office , they would like this case put to bed because of the very public way this has played out in the press . that 's why they 're being uncharacteristically generous . rafe : [ scoffs ] generous ? ej : rafe , this is murder one . it could be a capital crime . rafe : she was psychologically abused by that bastard . she has a one - year - old girl . i mean , you 're talking about taking ari away from her for at least ten years ? and you do n't think a jury is gon na be sympathetic ? ej : look , rafe , if this goes to trial , gabriela 's confession for her role in melanie 's kidnapping would have to be admitted . rafe : yeah , well , she was an unwitting accomplice . ej : yeah , but she did n't step forward . and the district attorney is gon na say that if she had , then she would have been able to stop half of salem being blown sky - high . when a jury hears that ... rafe : yeah . they 'll crucify her . ej : i know you love your sister , and you 're in a very tough spot , but you need to know , i worked very hard at this deal . it 's the best deal we 're gon na get . rafe : so what 's -- what 's -- what 's next then ? when does the judge see this ? ej : tomorrow , assuming there are no objections from nick 's family and that your sister signs the agreement . rafe : [ chuckles ] right . that 's it . that 's -- that 's why you 've been so cooperative and have kept me in the loop . this is where i come in , right ? nicole : okay , this is obviously private . can you please , just for once -- sami : you were going to elope with her ? eric : sami , mom , nicole and i -- sami : and you told mom about it , and you did n't tell your own twin sister ? nicole : this is n't about you , sami . sami : but now you 've decided to cancel it . why , eric ? i 'm confused . nicole : that 's a permanent state of being for you . you should learn to live with it . marlena : eric ? are you all right ? eric : i have a lot to figure out , that 's all . marlena : if you 're not eloping , is the wedding off altogether ? daniel : jenn , i love you . you know that , right ? jennifer : of course i know that . daniel : and out on smith island , when i thought i lost you , i could n't bear to think of a life without you . so this is n't about trying to pin you down to have a conversation that 's uncomfortable for you . this is about us , you and me , what we mean to each other . jennifer : yeah , i understand that . daniel : and what came between us before is that i was n't honest with you . jennifer : and you were protecting my son . i know that . daniel : yeah . but you would never lie to me , even a white lie . if i asked you something , you would always tell me the truth . so i 'm gon na ask you right now . if nicole ignored me and she never came clean with eric , you do n't think i would be honest with him , let him know what was really happening ? jj : you did n't mention your mom was out of town . paige : it 's not really news . her job has her on the road all the time . jj : has she been gone awhile ? paige : actually , she has n't been here yet . i came to salem by myself . she sent me ahead of her to stay with my dad 's cousin . jj : so this is n't even your place ? paige : mom thinks she wants to move here for good , but we 'll see what she thinks when she gets here . jj : well , that 's nice of your cousin to let you crash here . paige : yeah . you 'd like her . she 's older but gorgeous . jj : are you trying to tell me that i met the wrong larson first ? [ chuckles ] paige : depends on what you 're looking for . jj : mm - hmm . paige : my mom , she worries about me , thinks my cousin 's not the best influence . jj : yeah ? i ca n't imagine what she thinks of me . you kind of went out of your way to make her think that you were alone tonight . paige : oh , she 's just always worried that i 'm not studying hard enough . and it 's not like i could tell her what we were doing . jj : paige , have you even told your mom about me ? jordan : gabi , i would never judge rafe or you . i know that nick has made your life hell . gabi : that does n't justify what i did . i have to pay for what i did , and rafe should n't have to . i know that this is killing him . you know , he 's been the big brother everyone wished they had . any time i had any problem , he 'd swoop in and fix it , no matter what i did , and this is how i thank him . jordan : you know he would do anything for you . gabi : you know , after our sister died -- arianna -- i just do n't want him to be alone . but he 's not . and i am so very grateful that my brother has someone like you in his life . ej : look , i 'm not asking you to twist gabi 's arm . if you do n't think this is a good deal for her , then you tell her that . i know that you love your sister and that you really just want to do what 's best for her . obviously , sometimes it 's hard to know exactly what that is . rafe : well , i 'm gon na support gabi whatever she wants . ej : you 're a good brother . rafe : ej . i never thanked you . ej : oh , it 's not necessary . rafe : it is . this is a good deal . and it 's probably better than anyone else could 've gotten , so ... ej : look , just to be clear , rafe , if your sister does decide to roll the dice and go to trial , though i do not think it is the way forward , i will continue to fight for her . no child should be deprived of the chance to be with her parent . that 's something i believe very strongly . tad : hey , rafe . i was wondering if it 'd be okay if i go visit your sister . rafe : well , i 'm sure she 'd appreciate it . tad : i 'm really sorry about this . all of it . rafe : me too . eric : please do n't gloat . do n't smile . sami : i 'm not . i would n't . eric : as you can imagine , this is not an easy time for me . i 'll tell you what happened , i just -- i ca n't do it right now . marlena : of course . we 'll just go and ... sami : you stay and talk . nicole : eric ... please ... just listen to me . eric : nicole , i am done listening . daniel : i need to know what you 're thinking , because we need to put this behind us . you do -- you do understand that ? jennifer : i do . and ... if i had n't told eric the truth , i honestly believe that he would have never found out . i 'm sorry . that 's why i felt like i had no choice but to tell him myself . paige : my mom knows we 're dating . i 'll get her on the phone and prove it to you if you do n't believe me . no , i - i believe you . you do n't have to call her . paige : maybe i have n't told her everything . jj : like the drugs and the trial , that part ? paige : jj , i want her to meet you first , to see what i see . then that wo n't matter . jj : come on . paige : i mean it . she 's gon na love you , because you 're one in a million . jj : [ chuckles ] gabi : [ sobbing ] i need you please to promise me , jordan , that you will look out for rafe , that you will email me and let me know how he 's doing . please . [ crying ] jordan : i will do my best , but you 're assuming that i 'm always gon na be around . i mean , this thing with rafe , i do n't know where it 's going . gabi : i think you do know . you do know . please promise me , jordan . promise me . jordan : i promise . gabi : thank you . jordan : okay . okay . i promise that i will do everything i can to see that rafe is happy , okay ? gabi : i know he will be . marlena : i know why you 're latching on to this with such glee . sami : well , it 's good news . marlena : no , your brother is hurting . sami : i understand that , mom , and , yes , i am worried about him , but do n't you think -- marlena : no , no , no , sami . i 'm worried about him . you 're hoping that i will be distracted by eric 's troubles so i forget about what you did to nick at the river . but i wo n't forget . how could i forget that ? sami : mom , wait a second . i do n't think that -- marlena : you know what ? i have patients to see . patients are people who have problems and know they have problems , so they 're looking for help . and they understand that running away from your troubles never works . eric : nicole , we 're done . nicole : no , no , no , we are not done . the longer it takes for us to sit down and figure this out , the less chance we have of fixing it . eric : no , it does n't need to be figured out . it ca n't be fixed . nicole : you wo n't even listen to me . if being a man of god is so important to you , then you must have some forgiveness in your heart somewhere . eric : you actually have the gall to throw god in my face ? nicole : well , look at everything he 's thrown in mine . i have done everything he has wanted for so long . do you have any idea how much i wanted to tell you the truth ? eric : so it was god 's fault that you shredded those documents and then lied to me for months . nicole : yes . yes , it is . every time i wanted to tell you the truth , he had some other plan . eric : what ? so now it was god 's will that you remain silent . nicole : i was stunned . i did n't know what else to do . eric : oh , my god . we 've been through all of this -- nicole : and every time your mom or your sister tried to demonize me , you defended me so passionately . eric : because i did n't know what you had done . nicole : i could n't tell you . and you kept insisting that nothing mattered more than our love , and i believed you . eric : nicole , our love was based on a lie . nicole : was it ? do n't you see ? if god did n't want us to be together , why did he make it so hard for me to tell you ? eric : seriously ? daniel , he forced your hand , so instead of telling me the truth , you said , `` let 's elope . `` and then , when you were desperate , when you ran out of options , you said daniel was in love with you . was that god 's will too ? nicole : damn it , eric . i forgave you . i forgave you when you accused me of something that i did n't do , something so awful and terrible , something no one 's ever done to me before . i forgave you . [ crying ] why ca n't you forgive me ? daniel : jenn , how could you think something like that ? of course i would have told eric . jennifer : but you did n't . you kept giving nicole another chance and another chance . daniel : yes , because i wanted her to be the one to tell eric what she had done . you have to understand that . jennifer : right , which is why you would have kept giving her just one more chance , daniel . daniel : what ? no , i would n't have . i gave her the opportunity for eric 's sake because he deserved that . look , yes , nicole has lied to me so many times , but i made it crystal clear that it was n't happening anymore . no , i knew it , she knew it . that night at the hotel , that was it . she was out of chances . jennifer : okay , but nicole always seems to find a way , daniel . daniel : so , what , you just think i 'm that dumb ? that i would let her keep manipulating me and eric , and i would n't do anything to stop it ? no , that 's crazy . you 're not dumb . daniel : i 'm not dumb . well , that 's comforting . jennifer : please , daniel -- daniel : so then maybe you think that i do n't have a moral compass . is that why you do n't trust me to do the right thing ? jennifer : no , it is not you . it 's nicole . i know what she 's capable of . daniel : no , but you know me ! you know me . jennifer : daniel , yes , but it 's not like you have n't lied for her before . tad : hi . gabi : t ? tad : i hope it 's okay that i came . rafe said -- gabi : oh , it 's more than okay . thank you for being such a good friend . tad : yeah , well , if i was such a good friend , maybe i would 've seen what was going on and could 've done something . gabi : do n't . you could n't have . tad : i wish i knew what to say . gabi : well , i 'd like to talk about anything else . tad : gotcha . um ... gabi : [ laughs ] even the weather is n't a safe topic , is it ? tad : no . gabi : how 's work ? tad : oh , you 're gon na love this . your calc professor came in this morning . gabi : oh , bright side , i wo n't have to see him for a while . tad : right . gabi : okay . tad : him and another professor were talking about how you got arrested and how they did n't know what type of `` element `` they had in their classroom , and ... gabi : terrific . tad : well , here 's the terrific part . he would n't just shut up . so i accidently on purpose kind of dumped a bottle of hot sauce in his soup , so ... please do n't tell sonny , 'cause i really do like my job . [ both laugh ] gabi : oh , t , i love you sometimes . tad : oh . gabi : [ laughs ] jordan : hey . how 're you doing ? rafe : ej just came by to show me gabi 's plea deal . jordan : and ? rafe : 10 to 20 years . jordan : oh , rafe . rafe : but ej says it 's a hell of a lot better than if she went to court . sad to say , he 's right , so ... jordan : well , gabi is being really strong . rafe : how do you know ? jordan : i just saw her . rafe : well , that was nice . jordan : actually , gabi is the one who asked me to come . she 's worried about you . rafe : [ scoffs ] me ? with everything she 's going through ? jordan : well , she knows what a rough year you had . rafe : was n't all so rough . jordan : well , she feels like things are finally turning around for you , and ... rafe : and what ? jordan : well , she did n't come out and say it , but ... she knows how much you hated nick , and i think she 's afraid you 're going to blame yourself for what happened . rafe : is that what you think ? jordan : no matter what happened , this was n't your fault . you do know that , right ? rafe : no . i do n't . ej : hey . sami : [ gasps ] ej . ej : you all right ? sami : yeah , yeah . i 'm just thinking about my brother . ej : oh , did something happen ? sami : yes , actually . it 's amazing news . he broke up with nicole . ej : [ laughs ] wow , that was fast . i wonder why . sami : i have no idea . i 'm just very happy that the wedding is off . unlike our wedding , no matter how many people said that we would never make it this far . is something wrong ? ej : yeah , i confronted kate earlier . sami : why ? ej : she was lying when she said she was out of town on business when this whole gabi thing blew up . sami : i saw her earlier , and she did n't say anything about it . where was she ? ej : she was with my father . sami : with stefano . that little witch . [ sighs ] nicole : you accused me of raping you . and people have said some terrible things about me , and probably most of it was true , but this ? this was vile and painful , and it killed me . it killed me to know that you thought that about me . eric : i know . nicole : and when you finally realized that i was innocent and you begged me to forgive you -- to tell you the truth , i did n't think i could . i did n't -- i did n't think i would . and i do n't think anyone else would 've blamed me . but you kept telling me that god loves me , and i wanted to be a good person , a person that you inspired me to be . so i found it in my heart to forgive you , and you want to know why ? not because i was hoping to get something in return , but because i knew you needed it ... the same way i need it now . [ crying ] daniel : yeah . yeah , jenn , i lied for nicole -- when i thought she was pregnant , when rafe and i tried to protect her from ej . jennifer : but that was n't the only time . daniel : yeah , you mean , when i let eric think that she and i were involved , right ? jennifer : yeah . and i know that you were trying to help eric . i know that your heart was in the right place , just like it is now . i know that you did n't want to tell eric because you felt it was important for nicole to be the one to do that . daniel : yes . jennifer : yes , but do you see the pattern ? daniel : what pattern ? jennifer : daniel , you do n't like to lie , but you will if it 's for a good enough reason . nicole is manipulating you , and that is a pattern too . i think she uses her desperation to get you to do something that you would n't ordinarily do . and i know that you want to believe that she 's changed . god , i want to believe that too . daniel : mm , but now you do n't . jennifer : clearly . and i know that you feel like if you give her just one more chance , she 's gon na do the right thing , but she has shown you so many times that she 's not gon na do it . and i do n't think you realize the hold that she has on you . i just -- daniel : hold on . what -- what are you saying ? do you really think i 'm in love with nicole ? paige : i had a really great time with you tonight , but things went a little faster than i 'm used to . i - i do n't mean for that to sound -- jj : no , no , no . you do n't . paige : i just really want to take it slow . i hope you can understand . jj : of course . yeah . paige : and i -- i 'm not sure i can trust myself . jj : [ laughs ] all right . paige : [ laughs ] i had a really great time with you tonight , jj -- apart from you being beaten up . jj : there was that . paige : [ laughs ] jj : [ laughs ] paige : and if this is where it needs to end , i 'm okay with that . jj : all right , me too . come here . paige : there really is no one like you . jj : lucky thing . paige : i 'm the lucky one . jj : [ chuckles ] jordan : how can you mean that ? you did everything you could to help gabi . how is this your fault ? rafe : she warned me , `` do n't go after nick , `` but i did n't listen . i goaded him into it . jordan : into what ? do you really think there 's anything you could have done to get him to back off ? rafe : well , i guess we 'll never know . jordan : nick had a way of provoking people . i mean , my brother hated him . he only met the guy twice . rafe : why ? what happened ? jordan : apparently , nick was giving abigail a hard time . ben came across them , and ... rafe : oh , he wanted to help ? help her out ? jordan : exactly . rafe : yeah . jordan : i do n't know . i mean , maybe nick treated people so badly because deep down he wanted someone to put him out of his misery . rafe : maybe . jordan : i tell you what i do know . the last thing you need to do is sit around dwelling on something that you ca n't change . so come on . you 're coming with me . sami : what is kate up to ? please do n't tell me she 's getting back together with stefano . ej : i do n't know . sami : well , we have to find out , do n't we ? i mean , i do n't care how many rooms the mansion has , she 's not living with us . ej : mm , if she gets her way , you 're not gon na have to worry about that . sami : what ? ej : she was talking to my father about us . sami : what did she say ? ej : she seems to be very unhappy with you for throwing her under the bus . sami : well , i just did that before she got the chance to . ej : you know she has a tremendous amount of sway with my father . she 's gon na try and turn him against this wedding . sami : no way in hell . she 'll find herself underneath a triple - decker bus . i am going to kill her . nicole : eric , i never wanted to hurt you . i just want to remind you of who you are and what you are and everything you 've taught me this past year about kindness and charity and forgiveness . and i know -- i know i betrayed your trust , our love . but you did the same thing to me , and we got past it . and now we 're in the same place , only the roles are reversed . so is it too much to ask to hear those three little words ? eric : i forgive you . jennifer : no . of course i do n't think you 're in love with nicole . i -- daniel : okay , and i 'm not an idiot . so that leaves us with only one conclusion . what could that be ? oh , i 'm amoral . jennifer : daniel , no , i -- eric : one of my best friends had a huge loss . and not just a job , it was his vocation , and it did n't really have to happen . in fact , it 's a travesty . but yet you think i 'm gon na let him go believing a lie because i 'm susceptible to nicole 's charms ? jennifer : no , no , i did n't say that . daniel : you know what , you did n't have to say that . if i had a choice between telling eric what really happened and protecting nicole , you think i would have picked her ? jennifer : that 's what you did . daniel : yes , i did . for , what , like , two days ? i was n't gon na let it go on forever . how many times do i have to tell you ? i wanted nicole to be the one to come clean . jennifer : right . but she did n't . daniel : and then it would have been up to me . if you had n't done it first , i would have done it . you really do n't know that ? jennifer : i guess we 'll never know now . get more free , time 's up . gabi : thank you for coming . tad : yeah . i 'll be back , wherever you are . gabi : i hope so . tad : count on it . gabi : this year 's been crazy . tad : yeah . gabi : but i 'll have time to , you know , think about things and how i should have done them differently . one of them is this sweet , funny , adorable guy right in front of me . tad : adorable ? gabi : yeah . things were gon na work out for us before nick showed up .

[ door opens , closes ] victor : you 're on a fishing expedition . hope : just trying to piece things together , that 's all . for example , when weston first came to town , you made it pretty clear you did n't like him very much . victor : well , maggie says i 'm too quick to judge people . hope : but then suddenly things changed . victor : well , i assessed the situation and realized that he was n't worth getting worked up about . clyde weston just does n't matter that much . hope : you 're lying . victor : mm . now you 've hurt my feelings . hope : [ laughs softly ] i 'm sorry . i forgot how fragile you are . well , i guess i 'd better get going . just one more thing . this , uh , reassessment , this realization that mr. weston really did n't matter that much , was it just a coincidence that it came two days after sonny was almost killed ? stefano : son , i did not come back to salem to talk about clyde weston . chad : well , let 's change the subject then . let 's talk about how you 've come back here to salem now , risking arrest , when it wo n't even be that long before you can actually come back here legally . i mean , what , did you really come back here just to figure out how it was going with me and abigail ? stefano : ca n't a father be happy for his son ? chad : ca n't a father stop lying ? abigail : ahem . jennifer : hey , honey , you 're home . abigail : hey . you just missed jj . jennifer : how 's he doing ? abigail : he 's hanging in there , i guess . mom , uh , listen . i - i need to tell you something . i - i understand how tough this situation is on you , also not just jj , and i 'm sorry . i - i came down on you so hard , and i kicked you when you were down , and i -- i should n't have judged you like that . i mean , me , of all people . i 'm sorry . jennifer : no , honey , do n't be sorry . but really , i mean , you were right , and i 'm not trying to make excuses because there absolutely is no excuse , but when i found out what happened between eve and your brother , i just -- i do n't know , i just lost it . i - i feel like i became another person because i wanted to make her pay for what she did to him . but then i wanted to make everything better for your brother , and what i really did was just make everything worse for paige . abigail : do you remember when i said you just did n't seem like you ? [ sighs ] you 're back . i can tell . i love you so much , mom . god knows we have all screwed up , but you -- you have always kept us on track , and you have kept us a family , and thanks to you , mom , we 're always going to have each other , no matter what . daniel : how , uh , how you doing ? jj : not great . daniel : well , only a jerk would be feeling great after what you 've been through . jj : paige is the one who 's been through stuff . i 'm the one who screwed everything up . daniel : jj , you were dealing with a world - class bitch . yeah , you 're feeling guilty , but you 've got to be so damn mad . jj : mad ? daniel : yeah . eve set out to destroy your entire family . and then she zeroed in on you . what she 's done is vile , indefensible . jj : well , i - i ca n't believe this . i did n't think that -- daniel : what ? 'cause i 'm on your side ? you think i was on your side ? of course , jj . i care about you . always will . and yeah , yeah , you made some bad choices , but you -- you were confused , and you fell prey to being manipulated by a very destructive , very damaged woman . but you 're gon na learn . you will learn , i know you will . i just wish there was some way i could make it easier right now . some way that i could help you . jj : maybe there is . theresa : eve , why are you just standing there ? why are n't you just saying , `` no , no , no , it 's a misunderstanding , `` i ... kid , i am so sorry . paige : stuff happens , right ? eve : paige ... paige : and do n't go too hard on her . see , it started the day she found out that she could never sing again . so that made her sad . and jj and i had just broken up , so that made him sad , so he came around our place looking for me . so , you know , they were both sad , and you know jj ca n't stand to see a woman cry . and i guess mom 's grief just clouded her judgment -- eve : i am sorry , paige . paige : oh , she really is . she really regrets that night . and all the other nights , and all the other afternoons . she 's so sorry she slept with the boy i loved over and over and over . theresa : all right , look -- paige : no , i do n't -- i did n't come here for sympathy . i just wanted to get my stuff out of our house because after that , i do n't ever want to see her lying face ever again . [ sighs ] eve : paige , if you just -- jj : well , i 've thought about talking to aunt kayla about this , but she 's family , for one thing , and i guess , you know , it 's a little too weird , but you 're the only other adult that i know that paige might listen to . daniel : you want me to talk to paige ? jj : well , maybe you could -- you could explain things to her and get her to try to understand so that maybe she can give me a second chance . daniel : no . jj : what ? i thought you said that you wanted to help me . daniel : no , i said i want to help you , but that does n't mean making paige understand . trust me , she understands . but it 's you , jj , who does n't . it 's over with paige . you are no longer jj to her . you are the boy who slept with her mother . jj : well , then if you felt that way , then why 'd you say that you wanted to help me ? daniel : jj , i do want to help you , and i will . i will , but i want to help you come to terms with what happened and learn from it . i want you to accept responsibility without hating yourself . i want the same for your mom . i do . but as far as asking paige to give you a second chance , only she can make that decision . jj : but she wo n't make that decision , not alone . daniel : i 'm sorry , jj . but you are going to have to find some way to live with that . theresa : how did this happen and why ? why ? eve : it 's just like she said . just please do n't tell daddy or kim , please . theresa : no . eve : theresa , please . theresa : i wo n't . i just -- i just do n't understand , eve . i mean , you hated him . you hated him since we sat right here and i told you about the drugs and how he got kicked out of school . and you hated him every day more since . you did n't think that he was good enough for paige . then how the hell could you sleep with him ? abigail : mom , i know that this is probably useless to say , but can you just try not to worry ? jennifer : no , yeah , you 're right . i mean , i should just have more faith , you know ? it 's ... but it 's like that old saying . a mother is only as happy as her unhappiest child . abigail : god , i hope that 's not true . jennifer : well , sometimes it is true , but it 's not as grim as it sounds . i mean , look at you . honey , i was so worried about you the way i 'm worried about jj now , and ... i mean , look at how wonderful everything is for you . i 'm so grateful you found someone that makes you so happy . and i just know that you and ben , you just have the brightest future ahead of you . stefano : i will excuse you this once , but do n't ever accuse me of lying again , huh ? chad : it 's just -- i mean , you keep evading the question . i mean , at first i thought maybe it was just a little feather in your cap for a dimera to end up with a horton . stefano : no , no , no , no , no . you 're wrong . chad , you 're all i have left . chad : what does that have to do with anything ? stefano : it has to do with just that i made so many mistakes with my other children , do you understand ? and i am desperate not to repeat those mistakes with you . clyde : if you want some peace of mind , there 's a pretty easy way to keep tabs on her . you see this little app right here ? you install that on her phone , you can keep track of her whereabouts at all times . ben : [ chuckles ] you mean spy on her ? do n't you want to know if she 's okay ? i mean , she does n't have to know about it . it 's completely untraceable . ben : dad , i 'm not doing it . clyde : okay . suit yourself . it 's okay . but , um , i got a few things to take care of , so when you see abigail , give her my best , okay ? victor : i do n't know what you 're implying , hope . but do i have to remind you you 're an officer of the court ? you 're supposed to act on evidence , not innuendo . hope : victor , just tell me . was weston involved in what happened to sonny ? [ phone ringing ] victor : hello . clyde : it 's time you and i had another talk . i 'll see you soon . hope : trouble ? victor : just business . hope , i know how stubborn you are , and i know you 're a damn good cop . but i implore you , leave this alone . hope : i do n't know if i can . aiden represents clyde . i do n't want him taking any chances . victor : you 're the one taking chances . hope : victor , i just -- please . was weston involved ? did he have anything to do with what happened to sonny ? just answer me . victor : and i told you to leave it alone , damn it . hope , you know how much i care about you , and about my granddaughter , but you 're looking for evidence that you 're not going to find . so for your own sake , and for mine , leave it alone . jj : could n't you just talk to her ? daniel : oh , i 'm going to talk to her . only because i have my own apology to give to her . look , jj , like i said before , it is over with you and paige forever . you need to accept that . jj : well , i ca n't . daniel , please . you are my last chance . daniel : your last chance was a long time ago . actually paige is going to be here in about half an hour , so you need to go , all right ? abigail : mom , what ... you -- you donated to the children 's fund in memory of kristen dimera ? jennifer : i really had hope for her , i did . and i thought that kristen could survive being in that family , and she ended up being just like them . just destroying the lives of anyone who made the mistake of -- abigail : sleeping with the enemy , like i did ? jennifer : honey , i was so scared for you . and i am just so grateful that we have nothing to do with any dimera in our life right now . really . i 'm sorry , i do n't mean to bring up the past like that . i ... abigail : it 's okay . it 's , uh ... jennifer : where you going ? abigail : it 's important to not forget that , and i 'm just going to , um -- there 's something i have to do , mom . jennifer : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] paige : um , sorry , dr. jonas . i 'm -- i 'm early . i 'll -- i 'll come back . jj : no , no , it 's -- paige : do n't touch me . jj : i 'm sorry . i was just gon na say that i 'm leaving . paige : good . daniel : jj , uh ... jj : i 'm going . daniel : i 'm sorry . he stopped by and -- paige : it 's -- it 's fine . i got your text . you wanted to see me ? daniel : i did . um , how -- how are you doing ? paige : i think it 's pretty clear how i 'm doing . daniel : yeah . paige : but , i mean , you did n't want me to come over to ask how i 'm doing . you have something to tell me , do n't you ? daniel : yeah , i - i -- paige : but just one -- one big , huge favor first , okay ? please ... please do n't lie to me . i am so sick of being lied to . daniel : i 'm sure you are . paige : so , dr. jonas , the truth . you knew too , did n't you ? theresa : so , you 're having an affair with your daughter 's teenaged boyfriend , and it 's his fault ? and his mother 's ? eve : yeah . it is , theresa . it is . theresa : okay . eve : god , and i 'm still trying to undo the damage and take care of my daughter . theresa : yeah , well , you got your work cut out for you . eve : oh , you think i do n't know that ? you saw her just now . she hates me . but jennifer , she 's the one that should be shot . she blackmailed me into keeping quiet , and letting that animal back into my daughter 's life . and that made everything 100 times worse . i mean , you know what the -- the most horrible part is that she gets to have her family . she still has her children . i have nothing . i have no one . theresa : thanks . eve : well , i 'm not going to let it go . i 'm not going to let it go . i 'm not going to let her go on with her life as if nothing happened . not after what she did to me . mm - mm . jennifer horton , she is going to pay . harold : excuse me , sir . chad : uh - huh ? harold : ms. deveraux is here to see you . chad : thanks , harold . just tell her i 'll meet her in the garden . harold : yes , sir . chad : uh - huh .

[ somber music ] i 'm sorry . rafe : why are you sorry ? hope : because ... when we were talking about having a family , i was n't ready to start over . and you and i were n't -- we were n't in the best place . rafe : well ... turns out , you were right . look at the way things turned out . hope : it 's not always good to be right . but you know what ? rafe : hmm ? hope : you do know that it 's not too late , do n't you ? you could still be a dad . rafe : [ snorts softly ] lucas : all right , let 's go . mom , come on . will : whoa , whoa . hold on . i mean , you could just , like , pick up the phone instead of trekking all over town . lucas : really ? ruin the element of surprise ? i do n't think so . will : `` the element of surprise `` ? see , i love that my family uses military terminology to describe our family dynamic . lucas : she 's gon na take off again if she knows i 'm coming for her . sonny : are you gon na send her back to italy ? lucas : no . no , i 'm not , but she probably thinks i will . kate : you know , just the fact that she came here without telling anyone says that something is probably wrong . lucas : well , i 'm gon na find out what it is . allie : fine , tell my mother . ruin my life . nicole : i know it feels that way now . allie : i mean it . i told you , you can tell her that i 'm here , and that i 'm fine . that 's all she needs to know . she 's too busy looking after ej to come after me . eric : maybe right now . i mean , did you just hear what nicole said ? you ca n't keep this from your mom forever . in a few months , there 's going to be a baby . allie : not necessarily . i wanted more from my copd medicine , hope : i know that no one could take david 's place . you know , one day , you are going to meet the right woman , and she 's going to be a very lucky woman . and you 'll have a beautiful family together ... because you were born to be a dad . you really were . rafe : you do n't have to say that , you know . hope : i know , but it 's true , and i meant what i said .

[ scene_break ] frankie : your honor , i respectfully ask that all charges against my client be dropped . with lack of physical evidence -- bettis : we had physical evidence -- the disc , which ms. brady 's father obviously took from the evidence room in a deliberate attempt to undermine the people 's case . bo : i did not touch the damn disc . judge lawler : i wo n't tolerate outbursts in my courtroom , and i wo n't tolerate profanity , either . bo : i 'm not gon na sit here and let her accuse me of -- judge lawler : i admonish you to hold your tongue if you do n't want to be held in contempt . frankie : your honor , if i may . i hope whoever took that disc is found and properly punished . but the d.a . 's office had a duty to protect its evidence . it failed to do so . my client ca n't be held responsible for the state 's negligence . judge lawler : you make a good point , counselor . bettis : forget the disc . i remind the court that ms. brady confessed to using her cellphone . frankie : that so - called confession was made by my client before she had legal representation . judge lawler : hold it , counselor . as i understand it , ms. brady was advised of her miranda right to an attorney and confessed anyway . now , you 're not suggesting she was coerced , are you ? frankie : no , sir . judge lawler : you 're not denying that after running over and mortally injuring zack brady , she drove away from the scene ? frankie : she did n't know she had hit him , your honor . zack was her brother . she loved him . had she known she 'd hit anyone , especially zack , she would have stopped . bettis : she should have never have been on the road that night in the first place . she was obviously distracted , whether it was because of a cellphone or for some other reason . otherwise , she would have seen that little boy in the street . and when she felt the bump , it was reckless of her not to stop and find out what it was that she hit . judge lawler : i agree completely . i believe i have heard enough from both sides in this matter . i 'm ready to render my verdict . shawn d. : but i thought this was an informal hearing . judge lawler : ms. brady , will you please rise ? in the matter of the people vs. chelsea brady , i find the defendant guilty of vehicular manslaughter in the death of zack brady . now , rather than having to reconvene tomorrow , i see no reason not to proceed with sentencing .

[ scene_break ] judge lawler : ms. brady , this has been a complicated case with missteps on both sides . you caught quite a break today when the surveillance disc of the incident disappeared . now , that leaves the prosecution without its most crucial piece of evidence against you . ms. brady , the maximum sentence for the crime you 've committed is 25 years in prison and a $ 300,000 fine . however , in imposing sentence , i am taking into account the fact that you have no prior criminal record , also that the victim in this tragedy was your brother . furthermore , without the missing video disc , it 's impossible for me to gauge more precisely your level of concentration at the moment the crime occurred . therefore , i 'm sentencing you to 200 hours of community service , and i 'm revoking your driver 's license . shawn d. : community service ? judge lawler : you should consider yourself a very lucky young woman because if that disc had n't mysteriously disappeared , your fate could have been far worse . shawn d. : you got to be kidding me -- for killing my brother ? jennifer : hope , i 'm so sorry . come here . i am so sorry . judge lawler : now , about the missing evidence . as i said before , i 'm ordering a thorough investigation into its disappearance . when i find out who 's responsible , i 'm not going to be as lenient with that person or persons as i just was with ms. brady . court adjourned . bailiff : all rise .

[ sniffs ] it should n't have mattered . it did n't matter to me . it mattered to you , did n't it ? only thing that mattered to you -- i loved you . i tried to show you how trying to be you . that 's the way a son shows his father that he loves him . no son loved a father more than i loved you . and now look at me . i mean , i 'm alone ! the women i love , or have loved , they fear me , they hide from me . my kids , when they visit me ... then go home to another house so they can be protected from me . my sister 's dying ... and all of this leads back to you . i am alone because of you . because of my father . and the irony is , i 'm not even your son ! you know what i should be saying to you ? burn in hell . but i ca n't do that , can i ? i ca n't do that because i love you . i know you loved me too . i did everything you ever asked of me . i worked so hard to make you proud of me . why could n't you just have trusted me ? instead , you had to go and destroy everything . you did that , not me . you destroyed everything . cheers . | stefano 's body was in a casket at the dimera mansion . ej , lexie , chad , and melanie were there . gabi was upset with andrew for doing something she did n't tell him to do . he thought it was a nice touch . will thanked marlena for letting him stay with her . he reminded her that he is a suspect in stefano 's murder . she said he did n't kill stefano and they were going to find a way to prove it . sami showed up at the penthouse . ej , chad , and lexie were all glad they could be together for stefano . chad realized that he must be stefano 's son because he wanted revenge against his killer . lexie took chad out of the room . nicole showed up at the mansion . she wanted to be there to offer her condolences . ej was happy that she was there . he told her he loved her , but she did n't want to hear that . she did n't want him to read much into what she was doing . she just wanted to see if he were okay . she went to see stefano 's body . sami told will that she believed he was innocent . he thanked her for the vote of confidence , but it was too late . marlena tried to be the voice of reason , but it did n't work with sami . sami tried to imply that marlena was the killer . she recapped that she ran into marlena on the night stefano was killed and marlena was acting strange . will wanted to know what was wrong with her . he asked if sami was accusing marlena of killing stefano . gabi said andrew 's plan pushed chad to tell rafe about her being stalked . she said rafe would n't let her model anymore and she would be spending less time with chad . andrew said he was only trying to help . he wanted to make it up to her . she said it was too late . he asked if the deal was off . andrew assured her that he would fix things . ej and lexie looked at a photo album . she also reassured him that he was family when he said that he was n't . nicole was talked to stefano about her baby . while she was talking , kate interrupted . the two of them got into an argument . ej came in and the women ended their argument . |
kristen : i have nothing to say to you . marlena : fine . i have a lot to say to you . kristen : what could we possibly say to each other that we have n't already said ? marlena : it is n't about the past . it 's about the future . something that will work for everybody , including you . kristen : oh , i ca n't wait to hear this -- what ? marlena : get out of salem ! sooner rather than later . and do n't come back . john : what you said to kristen in front of all those people here , no matter how you feel about her now , i know that had to hurt . but i hope to god you know you did the right thing . brady : who is it right for , dad ? me or you ? sonny : how 's it taste ? will : mm ! so good . it should be illegal . sonny : well , maybe it is . will : [ laughs ] what do you mean ? sonny : when i got here , there was , like , a hundred cops running around the lobby . kate : kayla , any news about the guy that sami shot ? kayla : well , he made it to the o.r . kate : so he 's gon na be okay ? kayla : well , it depends on how much damage that bullet did . doctor ? is , uh , sergeant bernardi out of surgery yet ? kayla : no , uh , and i 'm afraid it might be a while . all right , thanks . kate : was he talking about the guy that sami shot ? kayla : yeah . kate : good grief . she shot a cop ? sami : what do you mean , you did n't find a weapon ? there was a knife . i saw it . hope : can you describe it ? sami : it had a silver handle . there was a blade . hope : sami , are you sure it was a knife ? sami : it happened very fast , hope . abe : so you 're not sure . sami : well , i am sure that there was an approved list of visitors , and that guy was n't on it . so what was he doing in rafe 's room ? abe : sami , they 're police detectives . they work together . they have each other 's backs . sami : well , he was n't there to protect rafe . he was there to kill him . hope : sami , the man who tried to kill rafe before -- he 's dead . sami : well , then , there was more than one . hope , i am telling you that i did what i had to do . are you really standing here and accusing me of shooting an innocent man ? ej : look , obviously , this knife slid out of sight when the detective lost his grip on it . abe : when he was shot , you mean . ej : no , abraham , what i mean is you need to go and do another search . abe : sami , you said you knew detective bernardi was there to kill rafe . what made you so sure ? ej : i -- excuse me , i 'm sorry . you are acting as a consultant for the police department . is that right ? abe : right . ej : okay , well , uh , my , uh , client is not going to be answering any questions for the police or anybody associated with the police . hope : well , that 's her right . ej : precisely . my dear ? abe : well , she does have her attorney present . ej : and as such , i 'm instructing her to stay silent . hope : excuse me , excuse me . no one is charging sami with anything . sami : yet . abe : sami , you 're lucky that hope caught this case , that we 're the first on the scene . the police are n't too happy when one of their own gets gunned down . sami : are you kidding me ? abe , how do they feel when one of their own tries to kill another one of their own ? they happy about that ? abe : sami , we did n't find a weapon . ej : but may i suggest you go and look for it again ? hope : and we will . and we 'll try to find out how detective bernardi is doing in surgery . sami , please , in the meantime , i 'd like you to stay right here , okay ? sami : hope , i know i did the right thing . i saved rafe 's life . hope : [ sighs ] sami : bernardi was on stefano 's payroll . stefano put a hit out on rafe . kristen : gon na ride me out of town on a rail , huh , sheriff ? marlena : wow . now , there 's a picture . look , kristen , there is nothing here for you . except , i do n't know , maybe trouble with the law . kristen : you do n't know that . marlena : you hired two goons to beat up brady so you could rush in , become the hero , and begin conning him . and if you think that hope and roman are not gon na build a case against you , you are delusional . and brady wants nothing more to do with you , so what 's to stick around for ? kristen : this is about john . like it always is . you 're so hot to get me out of town because you 're afraid something 's gon na happen between me and your husband . marlena : [ laughs ] oh , my . [ exhales ] john : if you do n't know that everything i do is for you -- brady : dad , dad , i know you keep telling yourself that . all right ? but i compared the text messages . and i put a couple things together . the night before my wedding , you and kristen both sent me a text message asking me to come to her hotel room . that was a neat trick , by the way , sending a text message while you 're ripping a woman 's clothes off . john : oh , son -- brady : no , real talent , dad . you both wanted me to come to that room and catch you guys doing it . are you freaking kidding me ? john : you know , maybe our means were the same . but the ends we had in mind were two different things . brady : how ? how ? john : she wanted to use me to hurt you , and all i wanted ... brady : oh , yeah . john : was for you to finally , finally see that woman for what she really is . brady : you wanted me to see the woman that still had a flame for you , right ? is n't that really what you wanted me to see ? john : i tried everything i could to get through to you , and you were n't buying it . all i was trying to do was spare you a lifetime of pain . brady : by sleeping with my fiancée ? how does that work ? john : i 'll tell you how it works ! the whole time you 're making wedding plans , she 's coming onto me , so i just used it . i used it to make you see , kid . brady : i know what i want to talk about with you . you up for it ? john : go . brady : i 've listened to you and marlena and victor and maggie and eric and everyone in this town . and they were all right . i 'm man enough to admit i was wrong about kristen . but i want you , dad , to look me dead in the eye and swear to me that there is n't a part of you that still wants kristen bad . brady : yeah . well , i guess i got my answer . john : [ sighs ] hey , kid , kid , hold on . brady : hey , hey , hey . i guess that 's why kristen was the one that stopped the little game you two were playing , right ? she was the one . am i correct here ? was n't she the one that left the -- left the room and could n't go through with it ? john : all that matters is you see her for what she is . brady : oh . i 'm so done with you . yeah , you were the -- you were the one that told me that kristen was playing with my head . what have you been doing , dad ? john : kid , listen -- brady : what have you been doing with me , huh ? john : you knew her history with me , and you still took up with her . i mean , you had to have some idea what you were letting yourself in for . brady : you claim that you were just thinking about me the whole time . you wanted to show me who the real man of the family is . john : oh , will you stop it ? brady : is n't it ? john : it 's not . brady : you do n't want kristen , but you do n't want anybody else to have her either , do you ? you 're no better than she is , dad . you 're just like her . you both throw the word `` love `` around , and -- and , you know , you both use it to get what you want . why are you wasting your time talking to me ? go find her . go be with her . you deserve each other . marlena : you want john ? go for it , honey . kristen : have you really given up on him ? marlena : have you learned the meaning of `` none of your business `` ? kristen : wow . [ laughs ] oh , my . marlena : something funny ? kristen : i told john that i was done with him . marlena : oh . kristen : that i was done having to get even with him . that i finally got it . he was n't worth it . and apparently , you got that too . or so it seems . so this man that we fought over , that we were willing to die for , i think it 's funny that now neither one of us wants him . do n't you think that 's a little funny , marlena ? marlena : you know what ? i do n't find it funny . you came here to destroy us . and i think the person that got hurt the most is you . you see , john , brady , and i , we will rebuild our lives . but not you . you have lost your chance for love . and you have lost it forever . will : cops ? hmm . you think they 're here because of what happened on the island ? sonny : i do n't think so . i mean , the case is closed . jensen 's dead . will : right . man , i wonder what 's going on with nick and gabi right now . sonny : me too . will : oops . yikes , i got ketchup on me . sonny : you better get used to having food on you , daddy . and a lot of other things too . will : [ laughs ] hey , i got two little sisters and a little brother , so i know all about that . sonny : you know , i stopped by the nursery on the way here . will : oh , no , you saw her ? sonny : yeah , arianna was the only baby that was n't sleeping or crying . she was just lying there , chilling . will : [ laughs ] that 's great . good , man . i do n't -- i do n't ever want her to cry . sonny : well , it 's gon na happen . she 's a baby . will : you know , gabi thought she was gon na have this perfect life with nick and ari . i mean ... how is that gon na be possible now ? sonny : she knows what nick was keeping from her . and she knows it almost got you killed . will : mm - hmm . so if they break up , what 's that gon na do to gabi ? you know ? and , ultimately , what 's that gon na mean for my baby ? maxine : gabi and the baby are being released tomorrow . kate : well , that 's good . rafe will be conscious . he 'll be some support . maxine : emotional support , maybe , but that 's it . rafe 's got a long road of rehab in front of him . and gabi does n't even know where she and the baby are gon na live . kate : well , she 's not going to have to worry about that . i 'm going to make sure that she and the baby get everything they need . she 's a doctor . maybe she has some information . marge : you stay with the officer , okay , honey ? i 'm gon na go talk to that lady . okay ? um , they told me my husband 's here . detective joseph bernardi . kayla : that 's right . um , he 's in surgery . i 'm so sorry about what happened . marge : is he going to make it ? kayla : well , gunshot wounds at close range are always very serious . but he got help quickly . listen to me . hang in there . he got help quickly , and his doctors are doing everything they can for him . okay ? listen , i 'll let the o.r . know that you 're here , and hopefully you 'll hear something soon , okay ? marge : thank you . kayla : sure . emily , this is detective bernardi 's wife . will you make sure that she gets everything she needs ? marge : is there someplace that we could sit and wait ? emily : hi . right over here . marge : thank you . oh , buddy . timmy : can we go home now ? marge : not yet , honey . ej : samantha , i 'm sorry . we do not know that my father ordered bernardi to go and kill rafe . we just do n't . sami : you think it was a coincidence ? he just happens to be on your father 's payroll , and then he just happens to be standing over rafe 's bed with a knife in his hand ? ej : no , what i think is that we have better things to do than jump to conclusions . sami : there is no other conclusion . unless you do n't believe me . ej : oh , no , i believe you saw bernardi in that room , and i believe he had a knife . what i 'm having a tough time with is why you were in there in the first place . sami : i told you . i just went to check on him . ej : why ? sami : what difference does that make ? ej : it makes a really big difference to me . sami : oh , my god , are you serious right now ? if i had n't been there , rafe would be dead ! is that what you want ? i mean , there are no cops here . you can answer me honestly . do you really wish rafe was dead ? we 're here at the famous tapia brothers produce stand abe : you know what ? for now , we need a guard around the clock in rafe 's new room . hope : done . okay , let 's get started . abe : you really think we 're gon na find this knife ? hope : oh , we 'd better . otherwise , sami 's gon na be in a lot of trouble . sonny : yeah . kate : [ sighs ] obviously , you guys have n't -- you have n't heard . will : heard what ? what happened ? is the baby okay ? kate : um , yes , the baby 's fine . gabi 's fine . sonny : does this have to do with all those cops i saw in the lobby ? kate : yeah . um , there 's -- there 's been a shooting at the hospital . both : what ? will : what happened ? kate : yeah , uh , this guy got into rafe 's room . will : and rafe was shot ? kate : no , rafe is fine . the guy who got into the room ended up being shot . will : oh , my god . well , who did that ? the cops ? kate : all right , there 's no way to really soften this , will . your mother did it . sami : i saved rafe 's life , and you are jealous . ej : [ scoffs ] yes . i would rather see rafe dead than see you in the mess you 're in . sami : i do n't believe this . ej : samantha , did you have to use a gun ? you could n't just shout for help ? sami : he had a knife . he could 've killed me too . ej : you were found in rafe 's room with a smoking gun in your hand , and this knife that you say you saw is nowhere to be seen ! sami : i saw it . ej : then where is it ? sami : i do n't know . i do n't know . but it could be anywhere . there were a million people in that room when kayla was working on that guy . anything could 've happened to it . ej : samantha , you do realize that if this -- if this officer dies , you 're going to be charged with shooting a cop in the back . and i 'm really sorry , but i do not want the mother of my children and the love of my life to spend the rest of her life in prison . sami : i do n't want that either . ej : okay , just please think before you act , samantha . sami : it might not be that bad . ej : what exactly do you think is going to happen when the police find out that you lied about knowing bernardi ? sami : how are they gon na find that out ? ej : because if he wakes up , he might just tell them . sami : he would n't do that . i mean , if he did , he would be admitting that he only knows me because he was stealing evidence against will from the police headquarters . and then that would reveal that he 's stefano 's mole on the police force . trust me , he 's not gon na say anything . ej : yeah ? well , then , i might . sami : why would you do that ? you would be putting will in prison . you would be giving me a motive . are you really that mad at me for being in rafe 's hospital room ? ej : samantha , i am trying to get you to take this seriously ! sami : i am . when i did it , i did n't know who that guy was . all i knew is that i was doing what i had to do to save rafe 's life . how is that a crime ? hey , i 'm gon na call the squad room , see if i can find out anything . marge : okay . miss ? is there someplace my little boy can lie down ? i had to wake him up to come here , and he 's so sleepy . emily : there 's a small couch in the waiting room . it 's right through there . marge : okay . come on . ready ? okay . ej : well , we 'd better pray the police find that knife . sami : if they do -- when they do , i will be in the clear . [ sighs ] ej : okay . i will do everything that i can do to make that happen . sami : you know , um , this place is swarming with cops . if bernardi has a friend , maybe someone took the knife to cover for him . ej : that 's a distinct possibility . just stay here , okay ? and please stay out of -- stay here . sami : the man i love is you , ej . [ door slams ] marlena : think about what i said . there 's nothing here for you . kristen : it did n't have to be this way . you could 've had john , and i could 've had brady , but you had to go and ruin everything , did n't you , marlena ? marlena : hmm . i have no regrets . kristen : yeah ? do n't be so sure about that . i do n't think i 'm quite done with you . marlena : you 're done with me ! kristen : i do n't think so . marlena : there 's nothing else you can do to me . so now every time you walk around salem , you 'll be reminded of everything you 've lost . so . do yourself a favor . do all of us a favor . disappear again . for a decade or two . john : bad day ? kristen : well , i guess robert burns knew what he was talking about , huh ? john : i do n't know what you 're talking about . kristen : the scottish poet . the one who said the line about the best laid plans , john . john : you ruined four lives , including your own , and you 're gon na be glib ? kristen : i do n't have another scene in me . i 'm sorry , i just do n't have another big scene . john : i 'm sorry it 's not as entertaining as the last couple months have been for you . setting up my grieving son to fail , using marlena 's principles against her , that 's more your style , right ? kristen : you know , do n't be so melodramatic . honestly , marlena 's furious now , but she 'll get over it . she 's not the type to hold a grudge . i mean , is n't that why you like her so much ? 'cause you can keep doing the same thing over and over and over to her . you can kind of control her and play with her emotions , and she just always forgives you , does n't she ? john : [ sighs ] my son hates you now . so ... i guess it was worth it . kristen : was it worth it ? really ? losing the love of your life , your precious doc ? john : you know , when i came in here , you were throwing things . but now that you see that i 'm in pain , look at you . cheeks are all flushed , and your eyes are shiny . you see , kristen , that is the one thing i 've always known about you . and it 's why i had to be willing to lose everything to keep you away from my son . because you are only happy when you are hurting people . brady : dad , give it up , all right ? marlena . marlena : hi . brady : i really do n't want to talk right now . please . marlena : it 's okay . i just have to know one thing . are you okay ? will : is mom gon na be okay , or -- kate : all i know is that the police are questioning her . sonny : why did sami have a gun ? kate : okay , that is my fault . i gave it to her as an engagement present . will : are you nuts , grandma ? are you -- kate : look , she had just moved into the dimera house . i thought she might need it for protection . i 'm glad i did . otherwise , the guy she shot might have succeeded in killing rafe . will : so , i mean , is the guy dead , or -- kate : no , he 's -- he 's in surgery . sonny : who was he ? someone rafe sent to prison ? kate : unfortunately , no . it was a police detective . ej : so this is how you search for a knife , is it ? abe : you know , we went over every inch of this room . we did n't find anything with a blade . ej : abraham , if samantha says there was a knife , there was a knife . hope : so where is it ? ej : so you searched every inch of this room ? did you search the bed ? abe : all right , give me a hand , please . hope : [ sighs ] if you 're gon na be in here , put these on . [ sighs ] i see something in there . marge : here , right here . here , sweetie , lie down here . oh , baby . when you wake up , maybe you can see your daddy . timmy : will you stay with me ? marge : oh . i 'll be right here . sami : i have a little boy about the same age . he has a ton of questions , you know , always `` what if ? `` what if this ? what if -- what if we could walk on the ceiling , you know ? things like that . marge : this guy is full of questions too . why do you have to peel potatoes ? sami : right ? and do n't you just want to say , `` i do n't know . 'cause my mother peeled potatoes . `` marge : he makes a good point , though . why do you peel potatoes ? sami : i swear , my son has so much energy right before bed , and he 's always begging me for ten more minutes . but then i put him in bed , and he 's lights out , just like this one . marge : an angel ? sami : you know , i , um , i sometimes try to show affection , and he 's with the other kids , and he does n't let me do it in front of them anymore . but when he 's sleeping , i can hold him in my arms , just like when he was a baby . marge : and for a little while ...

sami : well , i just think it was a really big mistake . you know , rafe is a cop . and i think you should n't have talked him into turning his phone off with everything that 's going on . look , if you 're stupid enough to get back together with stefano , there 's nothing i can do to stop you . but do n't make me look bad in front of him . kate : oh , as if you need any help . sami : and , by the way , do n't try to do anything to stop my marriage to ej . kate : as if i give a damn . what -- sami : oh , you -- you care . you just do anything you want , right ? you 're such a nosy parker you put your face into everybody else 's -- speaking of which ... may i help you ? hope : thank you . ben : congrats on solving your murder case . hope : thanks . ben : glad you wo n't be calling me in for any more questioning . you 're tough . hope : it was important to me to solve this case . ben : i 'll go get you a menu . julie : i do n't need a menu . coffee , black , please . hope : thanks for meeting me here . julie : you said it was important . hope : it is . gabi 's entering her plea this morning at the courthouse . and as nick 's family , you have a right to object to the deal if you 'd like . ej : well , you look terrible . rafe : yeah , which is strange because i feel great . so what do you think ? is the judge going to accept gabi 's plea ? ej : i think it 's possible he 'll have some qualms about the generous terms . rafe : oh , generous , right . yeah . second degree murder for doing the world a favor and offing that bastard . ej : as long as nobody ever hears you talking like that , i think the deal may go through , given the extenuating circumstances . rafe : oh , okay . yeah . so let me get this straight . the best - case scenario is my sister 's gon na get 10 - 20 years in prison ... starting today . kate : excuse me , but this is a private conversation . jordan : which you are conducting in a public place , quite loudly i might add . in case you have n't noticed , people are beginning to stare . kate : so ? sami : uh , actually , i do n't have time to entertain the people anymore with you , so i 'm gon na get going . do me a favor though , and remember what happened the last time things went south between you and stefano . kate : oh , well , you should remember what happened the last time things went south with you and ej . and the time before that . and the time before that . sami : all right , kate , just shove it . jordan : oh , wait a minute . kate : why ? jordan : i have a question for you . what did you say to sami about me ? will : victor . victor : will . i apologize for not calling . will : oh , that 's all right . victor : i heard gabi was going before the judge today and it could go very quickly . will : ej entered a plea bargain , so if the judge accepts it , there wo n't be a trial . she 'll just go to ... victor : well , if there 's anything i can do for you and sonny , just ask . will : thank you . sonny told me what you were willing to do to protect us . victor : well , nothing compared to what you were willing to sacrifice when you thought sonny needed protecting . my nephew 's a very lucky man . sonny : that 's true . also lucky to have a man like you as my uncle . gabi : i spoke to mami today . rafe : oh , yeah ? gabi : she could barely talk . rafe : ah ... no , she 's just torn up 'cause she ca n't be here , that 's all . she tried to sweet - talk her doctor into letting her fly . gabi : i know . rafe : yeah . gabi : i just hope that by the time i get out , she still , um ... rafe : no , come on . gabi : rafe ? rafe : yeah ? gabi : i do n't know how to get through this day without you . rafe : where else would i be ? gabi : okay . rafe : yeah . hey , before we go into that courtroom , i need to know . i need to know that this is definitely what you want to do . plead guilty with no trial ? gabi : i am guilty . i killed -- i killed nick . and i have to pay for what i did . all of it . just hope you understand why i 'm doing this . you do , right ? rafe : yeah . you have my support . always . gabi : okay , i just wan na get this over with . rafe : all right . gabi : everything will be settled this morning , right ? ej : well , the judge has the final say , but i really do n't foresee any problems , unless nick 's family has an objection . julie : this plea deal is a joke , right ? hope : the d.a . made the offer and gabi accepted it . i imagine the judge will approve it and sentence gabi today . julie : do joshua and jessica have -- do they know about this ? has marie been told about this ? hope : i have n't heard from them . actually , i have n't heard from anyone else in the family . so i 'm assuming that they 're okay with it and they do n't have a problem with it . julie : how can they not have a problem with it ? it -- it 's as though gabi would be paying a parking fine instead of being punished for committing murder . hope : she 'll be spending years behind bars . julie : not nearly long enough , hope . this is n't justice and you know it . this is anything but . brady : how could you let me get this thing ? theresa : oh , relax , it 's temporary . got it after i told you that i thought tats were sexy . it 'll wash off . brady : it bothers me when i do n't remember ... things . theresa : you know i would n't let you get into trouble . not that much anyway . breakfast in bed ? brady : mm , ah , no . no , i 'm not hungry , thank you . theresa : okay . well , how about something a little more substantial ? like a pick - me - up ? kate : do you really think that sami or i would waste a single minute talking about you ? jordan : well , i do n't know why else she would suddenly have all this animosity toward me . kate : hm , well , sooner or later , sami feels that way about everyone . jordan : yeah , but it all started right after you accused me of misleading him . kate : [ scoffs ] i accused you of misleading him ? because you have more phony ids in that apartment than they do in the average frat house . jordan : if rafe knew you 'd broken into my place -- kate : yeah , but he wo n't , will he , detective ? you know , and if sami finally figured out what a complete phony you are , well , there it is , because i did n't tell her . she and i do n't share those kind of confidences . jordan : then why is she so angry with me ? kate : you know , really , i -- the last person you need to be worrying about right now is sami brady . because when i have the proof to finally expose all your lies , no one in this town is going to like you . everyone is going to hate you , including rafe . so given your imminent return to your transient ways , i really do n't know why you 'd even stick around for that . will : i ca n't believe ari 's still napping . she does n't usually go down until the afternoon , but last night was a tough night . sonny : she kept waking up , calling for her mom . victor : i ca n't imagine how difficult this is going to be for the two of you . well , actually i can . when brady 's mother died , he was hardly much older than arianna is right now . will : but gabi will still be able to call and write . [ phone rings ] victor : [ sighs ] sonny : you know , we do n't wan na keep you . it 's okay if you have to go . victor : well , listen , i hope things go as well as they can for gabi today . will : thank you . i really wish that gabi had n't asked us to stay here with ari . i wanted to be there to support her in person . sonny : gabi is way stronger than people think she is . she 's gon na be okay . will : i hope so . gabi : if someone from nick 's family does n't like the plea deal , then i 'll probably go to trial . i could get life . rafe : gabi , do n't go there . ej : that is a possibility . rafe : do you know if any of the horton 's plan on showing up ? ej : i know that we have contacted his parents and his grandmother , and they 've elected not to come . but we just do n't know whether another relative , hope , or maggie could decide to weigh in . rafe : which does n't mean they will . gabi : ej , if , um -- if everything goes as planned and i get sentenced today ... will i be able to see my baby before i go to prison ? ej : righ -- i think the judge will allow that . and if he does n't , i 'll fight it . gabi : thank you . thank you . i just -- she means the world to me and i do n't know how i 'd be able to say good - bye . julie : how did this insane deal even come to be ? hope : well , the d.a . , the mayor , and the governor were concerned about bad publicity . they do n't want a trial dragging on . julie : outrageous . absolutely outrageous . it 's as though nick 's life was n't worth anything at all . and he was a brilliant kid . he was sweet , he was kind , he was trying to find his way in the world -- ben : and a maniac . the first time i saw the guy , he was attacking abigail , his own cousin . julie : yes , i know who abigail is . ben : well , no man should talk to a woman , or to anyone , the way he did . julie : have i asked for your opinion ? hope : would you excuse us , please ? ben : sure . i 'm sorry . julie : i suppose he expects a tip . hope : julie . julie : what ? the busboy ? a virtual stranger thinks he 's qualified to put in his 2¢ ? oh , wow , god , everybody 's ready to pour it on now that nick 's dead . hope : nick made a lot of people angry . julie : why are you making excuses for everyone ? whose side are you on ? hope : julie , i am devastated that nick 's dead . ca n't you see that ? but we ca n't pretend that nick was innocent in all of this . i do n't see how a long , drawn - out trial is gon na help anyone . julie : i disagree . hope : i 've got ta get going . gabi 's due in court soon . i 'm guessing i 'll see you there . julie : oh , you 'll certainly see me there . i really do n't care what anybody else thinks . i 'm gon na make sure nick gets the justice he deserves . brady : no , no , no , no . i need a shower , clear my head . theresa : oh , you think that 'll do the trick ? brady : [ sighs ] yeah , it 's gon na have to . listen , i 'm sorry . i can not party like that every night like we did , okay ? theresa : no , yeah . i understand . i - i do n't really care what we do , as long as we 're together . brady : me too . i 'm gon na go shower . theresa : [ clears throat ] do n't use all the hot water , okay ? brady : right . theresa : no way he 's ending his love affair with this . [ knock at door ] victor : where 's my grandson , you little tramp ? jordan : hey . ben : hey . what can i get you ? jordan : i 'll have a tea . ben : what 's wrong ? jordan : nothing . i 'm just worried about rafe . his sister 's hearing is this morning . ben : so then why are you here and not there with him ? jordan : because , i 'm not sure that he wants me there . sami : have you heard anything yet ? will : no , the hearing 's supposed to start in a couple minutes . sonny : if the judge decides to let gabi see ari one more time , i should get everything packed up and ready to go before ari wakes up . sami : that 's a good idea . ej is going to make sure that gabi gets to see ari . i mean , he worked miracles so that you and your brother and sisters could come see me when i was in jail . that visit , it made all the difference . it gave me hope . will : but you got out . and with gabi , i mean , even if she gets the minimum sentence , that 's ten years . ari has n't been away from gabi for more than a day . and now , she 's not gon na be able to raise her child . sami : sweetheart , we will make sure that arianna grace wants for nothing . will : how about gabi ? what if the judge does n't accept the plea ? she could go to prison for life . and that will kill her . rafe : hope . hope : d.a . jenkins is already inside . i 'm sure the judge has had plenty of time to look over the agreement . ej : i have n't heard from the district attorney or the judge , so i have every reason to believe the plea deal will go ahead as planned . julie : not if i have anything to do with it . you took nick 's future away from him , so i am here to do the same to you . theresa : brady 's in the shower right now , and you may not remember , but we 've met before and i even have a name . it 's theresa . victor : i know who you are . theresa : okay ... victor . [ clears throat ] well , can i offer you anything while you wait ? some cereal ? victor : how about some disinfectant ? theresa : have a seat . victor : i 'll stand . i 'm not much for small talk and i doubt that you have the capacity for it . just get my grandson out here . make it snappy . theresa : did n't anyone ever teach you how to say please ? this is my home , and you come in here and insult me and then you order me around . victor : you certainly have your mother 's fire . unfortunately , you 've also inherited kimberly 's loose sexual mores . theresa : excuse me ? victor : i know what you 're up to , you little gold digger . brady : granddad , stop it ! stop it , now . hope : julie , this is n't the time or the place . julie : you 're right . you 're right . i 'll have my say when we all go into the courtroom . and when i 'm finished , that judge will be convinced that this doe- eyed little guttersnipe does not deserve to get away with murder . rafe : gabi is taking full responsibility for her actions , which is more than i can say nick ever did . julie : you call this full responsibility ? rafe : 10 - 20 years in prison is n't enough for you ? ej : please . look , i really do not think that julie and the rest of your family want nick 's sins to be dredged through court . hope : i tried talking to her . ej : nick told me he wanted to change . i happen to believe him . this is the last chance to do something noble in his name . julie : that 's my point , precisely . gabi : ten years away from my baby is n't enough punishment ? julie : no . rafe : well , think about how long nick served for taking another man 's life . julie : a despicable man . rafe : exactly . julie : and nick was not in his right mind then . rafe : because he was on drugs ? julie : but gabi knew exactly what she was doing . did n't you ? rafe : julie -- julie : i want the whole world to know how much love was in nick 's heart and how many people loved him . gabi : i know that . julie : then you should understand that we want our justice and i 'm going to make sure we get it . jordan : rafe was so upset last night . and i tried to cheer him up , but he insisted that he wanted to be alone . ben : so you gave him space ? jordan : of course i did . ben : do you think that 's what he really needs ? jordan : no , but -- ben : then do something about it . i mean , you love this guy , right ? jordan : yes . ben : yeah , and he loves you too . so do n't second - guess yourself . are n't you sick of always living that way ? jordan : you 're right . i am sick of it . and i know you are too . ben : you and i finally have a chance at a normal life . as normal as it gets anyway . so do n't blow it , okay ? jordan : okay . thanks for the talk . you know what ? i do n't think i need that tea after all . ben : good luck . ej : gabi , a word , please . gabi : oh , my god , ej . oh , my god , julie 's gon na do whatever it takes to make sure that that judge rejects the agreement . ej : breathe . gabi : how can i do that ? if we go to trial , then everything 's gon na come out , not just what happened with nick , but how i hired that psycho who kidnapped melanie . i could go to prison for life if we 're lucky . the judge is ready for you . ej : well , thank you . gabi : what ? rafe : it 's all right . come on . hope : julie . i hope you 're thinking very carefully about what you 're planning on doing . julie : i have , hope . we let nick down when he was alive , but i 'm not gon na let him down now .

that you -- that -- that -- that happened just because you were trying to get even with me ? chad : well , it was kind of pathetic how obvious you were . i mean , how many times did you come up with some lame excuse to find me or be alone with me ? i think my favorite one was the time you were pretending to comfort me when i lost my sister , right , the sister that you hated . i guess i could have been easier on you and just given you what you wanted right away , but the whole game was just -- just kind of flattering to me . abigail : flattering ? chad , you said that you loved me . chad : no , i said whatever i needed to say to get you into bed , abigail . i mean , well , it did actually take awhile to get into a bed . you know , you are a lot more adventurous than the last time i had you . did ej teach you all that stuff ? abigail : stop it ! i do n't know what you think that you are doing , but this -- chad : okay , well then , let me spell it out for you . you dumped me , you went after my brother , it got written up in a magazine for everybody to read about . do you have any idea how humiliating that was for me ?

eve : well , i 'm not up to anything , sweetheart , but it 's so good to see you , i -- paige : save it , okay ? and do n't call me sweetheart ever again . i know whatever comes out of your mouth is a lie . eve : well , not the fact that i love you and i -- and i 'm sorry that -- paige : shut up . just shut up and listen , okay ? i only stopped by because i saw you and i have one last thing to say . and then ... you and i are done for good . jj : you told me every step of the way that i could lose paige . but i just could n't let her go . that 's why i ended up lying . it has nothing to do with what you said . jennifer : yes , but i -- jj : all i could think about was that i had another chance with paige , mom . jennifer : but i led you to think that . jj : no , you did n't . jennifer : yes . jj : no , you did n't . i was already there . and now paige is all alone , and i did that . me . and i have to live with that . jennifer : you seem a lot more resigned to that than the last time we talked . jj : i think i 'm finally starting to get it through my thick head that i 've lost paige . forever . theresa : hi . brady : hi , glad you could make it . theresa : hi , hello , doctor . hi , how 's tate ?

doctor : you need to stop worrying . start to enjoy a happy , healthy baby boy . all right ? brady : all right , will do . theresa : you know , to be honest , i 'm actually kind of nervous about bringing him home . brady : mm . look , i 'm glad we have some extra time because we can use it to get a few things straight . chad : what are you getting so worked up about ? you said you came here to end this . what 'd you expect me to do , fall apart and beg you to stay with me ? abigail : why are you being so cruel ? chad : 'cause i am a dimera , honey . cruel is in our dna . stefano : what the hell do you think you are doing ?

brady : right here and right now . chad : what am i doing ? something private , something personal , and something that is none of your damn business . stefano : you deliberately humiliated her . chad : i told her the truth . stefano : now you are a liar , because you love her , for goodness sake . you told me so yourself ! chad : love is overrated . i 'm young , i am rich , and i am powerful . why in the world would i want to tie myself down to just one woman , pops ? stefano : you idiot . you intentionally drove her away and you did it to defy me ! abigail : hi , ben , i 'm so sorry i kept you waiting . ben : hey , it 's no big deal . abigail : [ sighs ] ben : you all right ?

brady : i had aiden jennings write up a simple legal agreement , theresa . it states that for the first year of tate 's life , you and i agree to remain in salem . theresa : oh . brady : i assume since melanie is gone that you would n't have a problem with that . theresa : well , um ... i suppose not . brady : good . sign it . rory : all right , so i got this cousin in chicago and he says that we can crash there anytime we want . dude , this is like planning summer fun with debbie downer . have a beer , lighten up . jj : damn it . man : you , uh ... you looking for this ? i was hoping you 'd come back for it . [ chuckles ] jj : who the hell is that ? rory : oh , dude , you should have been here . that guy , he was hitting on paige earlier and she , like , totally shot him down . i guess he does n't know when to give up . paige : i guess i did n't make myself clear . there is n't a chance in hell that i would ever , ever go out -- jj : all right , get lost . excuse me , get lost , pal . she 's not interested . man : hey , okay , all right , man . ca n't blame a guy for trying , right ? so , uh , yeah . honey , just call me . jj : okay , i - i know you do n't want me around , but i just could n't let that guy bother you like that . paige : no , jj , it 's all right , i appreciate it . jj : really ? paige : yes . thank you so much for rescuing me from a really uncomfortable situation . jj : well , i 'm glad that i could help . paige : me too . i mean , ugh , so gross , right ? i mean , he was probably as old as my father . hooking up with someone his age would be , like , totally disgusting . right ? eve : well , i see you stopped off at the ice cream store . jennifer : just keep walking . eve : is it rocky road ? i know that 's your son 's favorite . jennifer : jj is out of your life and paige is , so why do n't you just forget that you ever knew him , okay ? eve : well , it 's hard to forget someone you 've known so , uh ... intimately . jennifer : you are such a disgusting pig . do n't you ever talk about my son again , and if you think you are gon na get him mixed up in your web again , it 's never gon na happen , not in a million years , because he never wants to see you again . eve : well , you know , jennifer , he kept telling me that , but the funny thing is , he just kept coming back for more . jennifer : i 'm telling you right now , if you ever hurt my son again , i promise you , i will destroy you . eve : jj 's not the one i 'm after ... you sanctimonious bitch . chad : why do n't you walk me through how ending things with abigail defies you . stefano : you are a very stubborn young man . chad : because i wo n't let you dictate my love life ? stefano : that is not what i am doing . i told you what i want -- chad : yeah , yeah , i know . you just want me to be happy . because i 'm the only child you have left and you do n't want to repeat the mistakes you made with your other children . is n't that how it goes ? well , if all you want is my happiness , and it makes me happy to end things with abigail , then why do you care ? you see what i 'm saying here ? stefano : [ sighs ] abigail : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to just fall apart like that .

[ phone chimes ] ben : you better read that . could be your brother . abigail : yeah . uh , no it 's just the phone company telling me about my bill .

[ sniffles ] how could they do that to me ? no . no more crying . [ sighs ] i wish i could hurt them as much as they hurt me . maybe today was n't so awful . maybe i can make what happened today work for me . okay . ben : still loading ? it 's taking forever . abigail : bye , joey . do n't forget to tell your mom i said hi . ben : looks like seeing joey cheered you right up . abigail : god , that kid is so awesome . i saw caroline , too , and she told me how lucky i am to have such a sweet boyfriend who is also so handsome . ben : mm , no i paid her to say that , so ... abigail : no , you did n't , but you know what , she is right . ben , you mean so much to me , and i know that you 've put up with me through so much . ben : you 've done the same thing for me . abigail : no , i mean it , ben . you 've been so patient and kind . ben : well , do n't make me out to be some saint . because you know better than anyone ... that 's not who i am . abigail : what i know is how amazing you are . and caroline 's right . i am so lucky to have you in my life . chad : [ panting ] abigail : chad , you said that you loved me . i do love you , abigail . i never stopped . theresa : so you think it 's okay for me to sign it ? right . okay . thanks a lot . he 's okay with it . brady : the only thing you 're agreeing to is to stay in salem for one year . pam : is that everything ? brady : that is everything . thank you so much . could you make sure that aiden jennings gets a copy of that and another is forwarded to theresa 's attorney , please ? pam : no problem . brady : thank you . theresa : see ? i can be agreeable . look , brady , i really think that it 's great that we 're both committing to being here for another year , and um ... you know , it could be a new beginning for us . we could get to know each other in a whole new way . brady : oh , it 's definitely going to be a new beginning . but not in the way that you think . theresa : what do you mean ? brady : it means that i have put up your interference in my life and your lies for way too long . but now that 's all gon na change . | paige wanted to know why rory did n't tell people about jj and eve . theresa confronted jj about cheating on paige with eve . eve investigated laura 's mental illness . chad met with abby and reminded her what they did with each other . paige wanted rory to tell everyone what jj and eve did to her . theresa told jj that she had a son . jj thought she would make a terrible mother and the two argued over it . brady wanted to make sure he stayed a step ahead of theresa . abby wanted to talk about what she and chad did , but he was nasty to her . paige busted eve when she was checking out laura 's illness . theresa and jj argued until she left the house to go to the hospital . chad made it seem as if he manipulated abby to get her in bed . chad continued to berate abby which ended up getting him slapped . |

[ soft dramatic music ] duncan : please be seated . ms. walker , you pled guilty to the felony offense of kidnapping an infant . this is a very serious crime . before i deliver your sentence , is there anything you 'd like to say in your defense ? nicole : yes , your honor . as you said , i 'm guilty . i ca n't deny that i took holly and ran . but everything i did was for the love of my baby girl . and i do n't regret a second of it . kayla : it is remarkable how far you 've come . brady : does that mean i can get out of here soon ? kayla : well , how soon is soon ? brady : [ sighs ] nicole pled guilty . her sentencing hearing is today . i want -- i want to be there . i need to be there . kayla : well , i 'm afraid that 's too soon . if i let you go now , there 's a good chance you 'll have a relapse , and you 'll be right back here . brady : [ sighs ] kayla : so i know it 's hard , but you need to try to sit tight , okay ? brady : all right . tripp : sounds like good advice . brady : you know , you 're pretty lucky to have found this family . tripp : something wrong with yours ? brady : is there something wr -- um , well , the guy that shot me was my cousin , for starters -- xander . no , you -- you hit the lottery when you found this family , the johnsons . kayla : well , that is a very nice thing for you to say . brady : it 's true . i 've been around you for most of my life , and ... they 're always there for each other . they always have each other 's backs , no matter what . tripp : yeah , i 'm , uh -- i 'm starting to see that for myself . steve : no . i 'm not saying you 're like ava . you 're a good person , jade . jade : was n't ava a good person once ? steve : we 're not talking about ava . we 're talking about you and joe . jade : joey and i belong together , just like you and kayla belong together . steve : i do n't think you should compare yourself to anyone else . jade : why ? love is love , right ? steve : only when it goes both ways . listen , it took me a long time to be ready for a real relationship . i hurt a lot of people along the way because i was a mess myself . jade : you think i 'm a mess ? steve : i think you 're a little lost . and i think that you need to figure out where you 're headed before you try to share your life with someone else . jade : well , what if joey can help me find that ? steve : that 's not how it works . have you thought about getting some help ? jade : what , like a shrink ? steve : i 've been in counseling myself . and it was a hard sell for me , but it really helped me a lot . there 's no shame in it . jade : i do n't need counseling . steve : we all have things that we need to work out . now , i know you had it rough growing up . jade : i do n't need to lie on a couch to have someone tell me that my parents suck . steve : it 's more than that . jade : i appreciate your concern , but i 'm a survivor . i 'll be fine . steve : jade . jade : i really need to go . but i 'll see you around . duncan : is this truly what you came here to say ? that you feel no remorse at all for defying this court 's orders to award custody of holly to chloe lane ? justin : your honor , my client meant no disrespect . nicole : no , justin , she 's right . i do n't regret anything i did . i mean , my choice was to defy the court or defy the love i have for my daughter . justin : nicole -- duncan : let her speak . nicole : my whole life , i longed to be a mother . and when i finally find out i have a daughter , she 's taken away from me ? i ca n't even hold her in my arms ? where 's the justice in that ? how was i supposed to go on living my life knowing that my daughter 's out there , needing me as much as i need her ? look , i know , legally , what i did was wrong , but you have to understand why i did it , why i could n't say good - bye to my little girl . duncan : are you finished ? nicole : yes . duncan : is there anything you 'd like to add , mr. kiriakis ? justin : no , your honor . duncan : ms. walker , please rise . ms. walker , you leave me very little choice in the matter . i 'm obligated to follow the law . therefore , in the matter of the state versus nicole walker on the charge of kidnapping of a minor , i hereby sentence you to -- [ knock at door ] duncan : ms. lane , this is a private hearing . chloe : i know . i 'm sorry , but as the legal mother of the child in question , i deserve to be heard . deimos : i want you to make sure that my nephew understands that he is to take full responsibility for all the charges leveled against him . i will use all of my influence to make sure that he gets the minimum sentence , all right ? you tell xander that . and after he gets out , i will generously compensate him for his suffering and reward him for all his loyalty .

[ tense music ] tripp : you have a lot to keep track of . kayla : that is an understatement . tripp : and you have to move fast too . kayla : that 's a difficult part of the job . you know , being a doctor is a tremendous responsibility . people trust you to get things right . without trust , you have nothing . justin : your honor , i strongly object to this interruption . ms. lane 's thoughts and feelings have no bearing on the sentencing . duncan : you and i both know that 's not true . victims usually speak before a sentence is delivered . i 'd like to hear what she has to say . chloe : thank you , your honor . um ... the reason that i 'm here -- what i 'd like to say is that ... nicole -- nicole is a good person . if i did n't think that , i would never have agreed to carry a child for her and daniel . she was my best friend . at times , it seemed like she was my only friend . and i loved her like a sister . duncan : she kidnapped your child . chloe : yes , and i 've had a hard time dealing with that . but i believe that nicole did what she did because she was crazed with grief and the thought of losing holly was devastating . and as a mother who has been kept from her child , i know what that feeling 's like . it 's like having your heart ripped out of you and you can still feel it beating even though it 's not there . and you ca n't breathe because you miss her so much . now , i 've seen my friend suffer so many losses and so many tragic disappointments , and ... i just do n't have it in me to blame her for what she did . duncan : so what is it you 're saying , ms . lane ? chloe : what i 'm saying is that ... please , i urge the court to look at her as i do : not as a criminal but as a mother who loves her child with all her heart and would do anything for her , would risk her freedom , would -- would die for her . anything .

[ stammers ] i need this . i 'm hoping that whatever you have to tell her can wait . maggie : [ stammers ] and i 'm gon na go get my purse . brady : you were gon na tell her about will , were n't you ? sarah : ye -- he only has days to live . if not now , then when ? brady : no , i know . i know . she needs to know , and she will soon , all right ? i was just hoping it would be after the meeting . sarah : i understand that your sobriety is important to you , but ca n't you just go without her ? brady : i know . i know this seems like it 's selfish right now for me , but it 's not . it 's important to her too . i promise you can tell her everything you need to tell her when we get back . sarah , i would not ask this of you if it was n't critical . please . sarah : okay . yeah , i will wait . brady : thank you . stefan : i 'm sure you 're aware dimera 's facing some pr challenges . victor : [ scoffs ] it 's in shambles . stefan : and that needs to be rectified as soon as possible . i 'm looking for a cco . victor : and you really think that a chief communications officer 's gon na solve your problems ? stefan : well , a cco is the guardian of the company culture , its values , its beliefs . it requires somebody of impeccable , unimpeachable integrity . naturally , i thought of you . public loves you . victor : i would n't count on love too much . he lost the election . stefan : because the other side played dirty . abe : what would you want me to do ? stefan : well , it 's a very sensitive position -- requires a lot of trust , and to a dimera , that means family . and let 's face it . i do n't exactly have a lot of family connections . victor : go ahead , abraham . tell him he can take the job and shove it . xander : ej was n't the only one you were trying to revive . there was jack deveraux . good old j.d . that was a smashing success . kristen : for you . xander : oh , yeah . eve donovan paid me a pretty penny to drop him into her nasty little hands . kristen : yeah , which you did without my consent . xander : because you were so busy with all the others . w.r. and a.v . and a.d. and s.d . tell me , partner -- kristen : okay , i 'm not your partner . i 'm your boss . xander : you insisted on looking after a.d. and s.d . all by yourself , so smart man that i am , i connected those dots . you know what i came up with ? andre dimera and stefano dimera . so you tell me , boss . am i right ? chloe : and stefan was all about us taking it slow because i was n't ready to go to the next level , you know -- that level . turns out , he was sleeping with gabi the entire time . who does that ? what kind of jerk ca n't keep it in his pants because a relationship is n't quite going his way ? [ sighs ] [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . sorry . both : [ laughs ] rex : oh , do n't apologize . it was the worst mistake i ever made . i 'm just lucky that sarah forgave me and took me back . i wan na do things right this time around . i 'm a dad now . i have a daughter . i wan na set the best example i possibly can . chloe : how is emily ? rex : perfect ... [ laughs softly ] just giggling and growing . i do n't see her enough . chloe : mm . rex : but she 's my light . chloe : kids have a way of doing that to you . we lost one of our sweetest lights . rex : hey . i really am so sorry . i know how much you loved holly . and you brought her into this world . how do you do it ? how do you deal with this kinda thing every day -- life and death and people losing the people they love ? rex : does n't get any easier . i 'll tell you that . chloe : you seemed pretty upset yesterday about a patient . do you have any better news today ? rex : no . chloe , i ... i hate to tell you this , but i think you should know . my patient is someone that you know and care about . victor : come on , abe . what are you waiting for ? tell him you would n't work for him if he was the only employer on earth . abe : actually , i 'll think about it . stefan : that 's great . victor : this is the kind of bad judgment that lost you the election . abe : i 'll be in touch . stefan : i look forward to hearing from you . could n't just keep your mouth shut ? victor : if you think that loser is going to restore dimera to its former glory , good luck . kristen : well , you clearly put a lot of thought into this . must 've been quite a strain . xander : i also considered that maybe a.d. was n't andre dimera , but antony dimera . everyone 's beloved tony . both would be excellent candidates for dr . rolf 's life - restoring serum . kristen : you did have a lot of time on your hands . xander : oh , it 's fascinating stuff , especially when one considers the great stefano himself survived multiple gunshots , diagnosed with terminal cancer , and then just vanished , headed for certain death . but then ... one never can tell with the dimeras , can they , my dear phoenix ? you may have lost your tattoo , but you still rose from the ashes , did n't you ? so the question is , did andre ? did tony ? did stefano ? i 'm just a normal person chloe : will 's dying ? does lucas know ? rex : well , at first , he did n't want anyone to know , especially his parents 'cause he was holding out for a viable treatment , or a miracle . but he 's got a matter of days , chloe , so he 's a lot more open with people now . chloe : oh , my god . lucas barely got will back , and now he 's gon na lose him again ? rex : i know . chloe : so there 's no hope ? rex : not unless we get rolf 's formula , and that 's written in his diary , which we do n't have . i went through every last note that i took when i worked with rolf , just trying to find something so i could make this antidote . chloe : so there 's nothing ? rex : nothing , nothing that could possibly help will . it was just a whole bunch of mad scientist stuff . i mean , prosthetic masks that he makes for people so they can look like somebody else . xander : come on , kristen . inquiring minds want to know . [ phone beeps ] lucky you . saved by the bell -- for now . huh . seems like commissioner eve deveraux wants to hoo - whoo with me . kristen : what does she want ? xander : just some unfinished business . jack : [ scoffs ] you 're afraid that if i get my memory back , i 'll go back to jennifer . i -- i love you . i love our life . just because i remember my past , does n't mean i forget the present , everything that we have built together -- you have to know that . eve : [ laughs softly ] you know what ? i 'm not afraid . i 'm not afraid that you 're gon na get your memory back , jack . i know . i know how strong we are . what i 'm afraid of is if you use that serum , my god , i mean , you could -- you could get a brain tumor like will . [ stammers ] i -- i just do n't wan na lose you . that 's all . jack : [ laughs softly ] so , you really do n't know where that diary is ? maggie : thank you for taking me to a meeting . i 'd forgotten how supportive the group is , and how safe i -- i feel , and then the strength that i draw from it . brady : you got this . and me -- and everyone else around you who loves you . but right now , i have to get you back home to sarah , okay ? maggie : yeah . i wonder what she was so intent on telling me . i guess it would be too much to hope that she wants to call off her marriage to rex ... [ laughs ] victor : what are you two doing out and about ? brady : we went to a meeting . victor : i think you should be home resting . maggie : i wanted to go . victor : 'cause brady guilted you into it ? ca n't you go to one damn meeting without dragging maggie into it ? just lost her grandchild . she 's not feeling well . maggie : it was n't brady who fell off the wagon , victor . it was me . [ dramatic music ] eve : i do n't have the diary , jack . but i hope it comes to light for will 's sake because nobody knows better than me how much pain -- how much pain you go through when you lose a child , and i would n't wish that on my worst enemy . you believe me , do n't you ? jack : absolutely . [ tender music ] eve : it means so much that you believe me -- oh , my god -- 'cause i think you 're the only person who does . jack : [ chuckles ] you 're the only person who believes in me . eve : i do . jack : oh . that 's why it 's so important that we 're honest with each other 'cause you know a lie between us could shatter everything that we 've built . rex : okay , thanks . bye . [ keypad beeps ] chloe : meeting cancelled ? rex : yeah , but this was much more interesting . chloe : oh , really ? thanks . listening to my problems ? rex : [ laughs ] chloe : seriously , thank you for your advice . it gave me some good perspective . rex : chloe , come on . of course . what are friends for ? chloe : mm . well , this friend had better check in with the chef to see what tonight 's specials are , so thanks again . rex : you got it . [ keypad beeps ] [ line ringing ] [ phone rings ] [ keypad beeps ] sarah : hey ! rex : hi , i just wanted to check in with you , see how you were doing . you tell maggie yet about will ? sarah : [ sighs ] actually , i -- i still have n't told her . rex : why not ? sarah : well , um , she had to go somewhere with brady , and then -- i do n't know . the truth is , i 'm just hoping that it just would be an unnecessary conversation -- that we 'll find the diary , and we 'll figure out an antidote , and will will be okay . rex : i love how you think , honey , but that 's a hell of a long shot . all we need is a miracle . and i 'm counting on it . [ keypad beeps ] [ phone clacks ] how long have you been standing there ? xander : long enough to know what you need . sarah : for you to go to hell ? xander : love that wit . but i do n't think you 're gon na want me to go anywhere . i 'm the miracle you 've been hoping for . jennifer : hey , hi . abe : oh , you know , i heard about jj 's arrest . i 'm so sorry . jennifer : he 's out on bail . now i 'm just hoping that jack drops the charges . abe : i hear you on that . although , i just ran into our new mayor , and he seems pretty damn pleased with his accomplishments . jennifer : [ scoffs ] what i would n't give for you to be back in that job , abe . abe : well , i might have a new one . jennifer : what ? i knew that someone would snatch you up right away . abe : well , you might not be pleased to hear what it is . i 've been offered a position as the cco of dimera enterprises . jennifer : working for stefan ? i mean , you 're not gon na take it , right ? [ scoffs ] abe : i 'm not sure . stefan : abe carver is exactly the man we need to restore dimera , mr . shin . i 'm confident he 's going to accept my offer . does n't hurt that he 's family .

'cause he was lost without will when will was in prison for a year . maggie : all i 'm saying is that xander can barely live with himself . after what he did to you . sarah : it was n't the first time . maggie : what does that mean ? sarah : it means you would n't be going to bat for xander if you knew what else he did to me . jack : you 're stubborn . you 're used to getting your way . but if you want to see a change , you better start learning to listen . xander : to you ? how many times have you dumped your wife and kids ? jack : and from all that , what i 've learned is that words are cheap -- they 're meaningless . it 's what you do that matters . xander : you make your living with words . jack : but in my life , i 'm trying to walk the walk . you try to publish this ad , and sarah will not only be humiliated , she 'll see it for the empty , flashy gesture that it is . xander : so what am i supposed to do then , huh ? jack : i do n't know . what do i look like , dear abby ? xander : come on ... we were friends back in nashville . jack : friends ? when one person holds the key to a locked door and the other person is behind that locked door , that 's not friendship . xander : i got you out of the warehouse before it exploded . jack : strapped to a wheelchair . barely able to ... and then you sold me to eve . xander : now , you two had a good run . jack : a good run ? not even knowing my previous life , with eve filling it all in for me . and all of it being ... a lie . so all i had was hardness , coldness , talking to my children , talking to my wife , telling them things that , well , now i just thank god they 've forgiven me for it . xander : you see ? you are the perfect person to give me advice . just tell me how you got your horton woman to take you back . john : okay , okay ! suitcase is in your room , and doc , she 's looking around for a lighter blanket to put on your bed . claire : oh , no , no , no , you do n't have to make a fuss over me , gramps -- i can make my own bed . john : oh , no , no problem , no problem . shawn : hey i think i 'm gon na go find my mom and i 'm gon na let her know you 're back in salem . claire : i hope she does n't get too upset . john : no , no , no , no , no , you would n't be here if she did n't okay it . claire : yeah , but still , i -- shawn : claire , she 's your grandmother . she is happy that you 're doing so well . claire : okay . shawn : i 'm gon na go find your mom , pick her up at the courthouse , and i 'll see you a little later , okay ? claire : okay . thanks , dad . i love you . shawn : oh , i love you , too . john : see you , kid . shawn : good to see you . yeah , all right , see you later . claire : bye ! okay , be honest . do you really want me here ? i mean , the last thing you and grandma need is a houseguest , especially one like me . john : no , no , no , it 's gon na be like old times ! except i 'm pretty sure you 've probably outgrown uno . claire : no , not true , actually -- my friend gwen and i used to play all the time . oh , i 'm warning you , i 'm pretty now . john : oh , that 's not a good thing . maybe i should teach you pinochle then , huh ? [ both laughing ] claire : i 've missed you so much ! john : i 've missed you , too . we are so thrilled that you 're here , sweetheart . and you know the doctor . she never would 've released you if she did n't feel you were well . you know that ? speaking of the doctor . hey , who 's up for a game of uno , hmm ? marlena : oh , maybe a little later . um , can you tell me about this ? i mean , why you have it ? ciara : was i being too pushy or something ? brady : no . no , ciara , i just decided to take the company in a direction that did n't include those kinds of projects . ciara : and what direction is that ? brady : what are you getting at ? ciara : i see you selling properties and changing policies that grandpa and xander put into place , and , you know , everyone in this town knows about all the terrible things that they did to you . brady : and what is your point ? ciara : if someone told me that my baby daughter was dead when she was actually alive , and then they fired me from my job , i would never wan na look them in the eye ever again . but you actually made it a point to get your old job back . brady : ciara , it 's not like victor and i hugged it out , or anything , okay ? xander ... he had my job , and i wanted it back , so i took it . he deserved to get the axe . ciara : and that 's it ? brady : that 's it . ciara : that it . brady : that 's it . ciara : all right , okay , well , what about grandpa ? he was in on it with xander all the way , and there are only two ways to get back at grandpa . a , you go after his family , which is something that you would never do . and b , you go after the company that he built from the ground up . brady : [ laughs ] i 'd have to be pretty insane to do something like that , would n't i ? ciara : i 'm just thinking out loud here . i mean , it seems to me that a sure way to get back at grandpa would be to destroy his company . does n't it seem that way to you , brady ? lucas : answer me , young lady . why did you leave london without a word to anybody ? allie : why do you think ? i 'm sick of dealing with mom , and i was n't about to live with her . you know what she 's like . kate : i sure do . lucas : enough , please . allie : look , i do n't know what the big deal is . i came back here , did n't i ? it 's not like i 'm spending up a storm in tahiti or something . kate : okay , look , allie is more than welcome to come and stay with me at the dimera mansion . allie : actually , uncle eric and nicole already said i could stay here . lucas : uncle eric said that , really ? wow . eric : well , yeah , but there were conditions . lucas : okay , what were the conditions ? is there another reason why you left your mother ? obviously , there 's something going on here that you 're not telling me about , right ? this is my daughter . i have a right to know . allie : dad , leave him alone . i 'll tell you myself . lucas : okay , that would be great -- i 'm waiting . allie : i 'm pregnant . never run dry of ... claire : you went through my stuff ? marlena : i was unpacking for you . did ciara send you this ? claire : no . marlena : well , then how did you get it ? claire : i saw it on dr . morris ' desk , and i sort of borrowed it . mom and dad gave it to me . marlena : why ? claire : well , they told me about the wedding -- they did n't want it to come as a surprise to me ; they wanted me to be okay with it . marlena : and are you okay with it ? brady : look , do n't let your imagination run wild , okay ? my motivations are not that dramatic . i wanted my job back ; i went after it . forcing xander out , that was -- that 's really the only payback i was interested in . ciara : i really hope that 's true , because titan is n't just victor 's pride and joy . it employs thousands of people all over the world . you run that company into the ground , brady ? those people will lose their paychecks . brady : i know that . ciara : you 're not the type of person that would ruin lives to make a point . well , at least , you did n't used to be . brady : you do n't plan on mentioning this little theory to , uh , victor , do you ? sarah : so , xander knocked out the doctor , and then , kristen 's doctor was going to come in and take my embryo out of me and put it into her . maggie : oh , i ca n't believe this . sarah : no , i could n't believe it , either . i mean , xander had known that i was pregnant for weeks . i mean , he had been my friend . he had been my confidant . and he was still going to do that to me . and , when i brought it up to him , he said , well , you were just gon na get rid of the baby anyway . why not give it to kristen ? maggie : oh , my god ! sarah : yeah . i mean , luckily , kristen 's plan did n't work out , and when i came out of the anesthesia , xander told me that the doctor had n't performed the abortion , and ... and i was glad . you know , 'cause i had realized that i -- i really did want the baby . maggie : kristen 's done this before . the only thing that i can say is that i 'm sure that she did n't -- she did n't even give xander another choice in the matter . sarah : mom , come on . that is not an excuse . i mean , since when is xander afraid of anyone , even kristen ? i trusted him , and he sold me down the river , and he would n't have done that if he actually cared about me . maggie : so ... he interfered in the most important event in your life -- twice . sarah : do you know what the worst part is ? before i found out what he and kristen had planned to do ... i was gon na forgive him . god , what 's wrong with me ? maggie : oh ! honey . xander : so ? how 'd you do it ? how 'd you get jennifer to take you back ? jack : well , mainly i just got my memory back , stopped acting like a jerk . tried to undo all the horrible things i 'd done . resigned as mayor , endorsed abe . divorced eve . and i let my family know and see that they were the most important people in my life . xander : none of that really applies to me . jack : mm . i understand that you were very devoted to sarah when she was pregnant . you were willing to raise her baby with her . xander : then the accident happened , and ... i could n't stand to see her find out that her baby died . jack : you know , the hardest thing about watching someone that you love go through something that bad is realizing how powerless you are . xander : that 's it . i just could n't stand that feeling . she hates me now . jack : maybe you should just give her some space . xander : i know she likes jewelry . jack : forget the jewelry . try thinking long and hard about what it is that sarah really wants , really needs . lucas : you 're pregnant ? how could you do this ? how could you let this happen , allie , what were you thinking ? allie : oh , my god ! you 're as bad as mom ! kate : honey ... lucas , listen , you and sami are hardly the ones to be moralizing about an unplanned pregnancy . just calm down . lucas : i am calm ! i 'm calm , all right ? do n't i seem calm to you ? allie : no , dad , you look like you 're about to have a stroke . lucas : well , i 'm not , okay ? i 'm fine ! i 'm fine right now ! i just -- i did n't see this coming , okay ? and i have a lot of questions . lucas : like what ? allie : like who 's the s.o.b . who got you pregnant , damn it ? these are real people , claire : how can i pass judgment on ciara 's life ? i mean , i wish she was marrying someone other than ben , but she isn't . john : well , you know , he 's -- he 's working pretty hard to overcome his past . claire : and i would be such a hypocrite to hold his past against him . i mean , who am i to judge anyone ? if i can be rehabilitated , so can he . marlena : are you jealous of ciara 's happiness ? claire : no ! no , i -- i want her to forgive me . i wan na be her friend again someday . marlena : well , that really would be up to her . that would have to happen on her own timetable . you ca n't -- you ca n't rush someone 's forgiveness . claire : no , i know . i know , but i do n't wan na think that i 've ruined her life . i want ciara to be happy , and ... if marrying ben makes her happy , then i am fine with it . ciara : granddad 's not getting any younger , and he 's recovering from a knife wound to the chest . if i told him that i thought you were trying to bring down his company , he might just stroke out on the spot . i do n't want that . brady : so this conversation can stay between us , right ? ciara : if you 're really sincere about taking titan into the future , why do n't you take a second look at my proposals ? brady : well , that sounds a little bit like blackmail , ciara , do n't you think ? ciara : think of it as more of a negotiation . brady : mm . ciara : as a matter of fact ... ah . i happen to have an extra copy right here . brady : you want your ideas to be heard , i do n't know if this is the best way to go about it . ciara : mm . you know , granddad told me that if i ever wanted to run anything by him that he 'd be more than happy to listen . brady : okay . ciara : i 'll see you tomorrow morning in the office . sarah : if brady had n't told me what xander and kristen had planned to do , i could 've made the biggest mistake of my life . maggie : so , brady told you all of that ? sarah : yeah , thank god he did . maggie : that bothers me a little . sarah : it does n't bother me at all . maggie : brady 's in a lot of pain -- he 's lashing out . what he told you destroyed any chance of happiness that you and xander had . sarah : wait , you think that he should 've kept it to himself ? maggie : well , he did n't do it for you . he did it out of revenge . i would n't put a lot of stock in what brady has to say these days . i mean , he 's ... he lost kristen . his child . he 's acting like a wounded animal . sarah : yeah , but i 'm the same way right now . maggie : well , then you and brady are a bad combination . sarah : so you would rather your son - in - law be xander ? you 'd rather him be a thug ? maggie : all i 'm saying is that i know brady very well . and when he 's in this kind of pain , he goes to a very dark place . sarah : are you worried he 's gon na rub off on me ? maggie : i just do n't think that you and brady are good for each other right now . see , he should be going to meetings daily . he should be confiding in his sponsor , not you ! and maybe you should think about seeing a therapist , as well . sarah : brady understands what i am going through better than any therapist ever could ! maggie : and is that why you 're sleeping with him ? allie : i 'm not going to tell you anything when you 're acting like this . lucas : okay , i 'll call your mom and get her involved , how about that ? kate : oh , my god , lucas ! allie : you call her and i 'll run away again . lucas : perfect . eric : lucas , can i have a private word with you for a minute ? kate : honey , whatever you need , you know you can come to me , okay ? allie : thanks , grandma . kate : i love you . eric : look , when allie told me , i acted the same way . it does n't work . lucas : well , it 's easy for you to say -- it 's not your daughter who 's pregnant . eric : yeah , but i 'm telling you for your own good , you need to get control of yourself . threatening to bring sami in and putting allie on the defensive -- that 's not doing your cause any good . lucas : i get it , okay ? you 're right . i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry that i reacted the way i did . i just -- i did n't see this coming . allie : neither did i . lucas : i did n't even know you had a boyfriend -- allie : dad it does n't matter . the father of the baby is not important . lucas : it is important . whether you want him in your life or not , he needs to know , he needs to take responsibility -- allie : will you just stop -- will you stop talking like this ? i do n't even know if i wan na keep the baby ! i 'm bad . marlena : i do n't know . eek , eek . john : no , no , no , no , no ! claire : i told you i was good now . john : five in a row ! marlena : you have gotten better , oh , my gosh ! claire : uh - huh . [ phone beeps ] marlena : wow . john : saved by the bell . [ laughter ] marlena : literally . john : it 's your mom . she 's , um , she 's gon na be held up a little while longer . claire : that 's okay . you know what , i 'm , um , i 'm actually pretty beat . is it okay if i go lie down ? john : yeah , yeah , yeah . marlena : of course it is . take your tea up with you . claire : y'all are the best . john : five in a row . marlena : oh , you 're the best . john : yeah , yeah , yeah . claire : look , i 'm gon na prove to you and everyone that i am a different person now . i love you . marlena : i love you . john : i love you , too , sweetie . sarah : xander told you that brady and i are sleeping together , did n't he ? maggie : well , he was n't sure , but he suggested it might just be an act . so , for your sake , i hope he 's right . sarah : oh , my god , well , thank you so much for your support and confidence in my judgment ! maggie : wait a minute , now . you know how much i love you and brady . i just do n't think this is the right time for either of you to start an affair . because if you get involved , it 's gon na be all for the wrong reasons . xander : i ca n't think anything sarah needs . you 're sure this ad is n't a good idea ? jack : what do you think ? xander : fine . i 'll -- i 'll work on it . thanks for the advice . you know , we should do this more often . jack : hey . you got me through that locked door . maybe we should do this more often . lucas : you 're not sure you 're gon na keep this baby ? i mean , how far along are you ? is it even possible ? allie : according to what i read , i 'm right at the edge . but i 'm not just talking about abortion , dad . there are other options . lucas : what , you 're gon na give this baby away ? allie : god , you 're driving me crazy ! this is exactly why i did n't want you or mom to know . grandma , please , will you help me out ? kate : yes , honey . okay , lucas , we need to give allie some time , okay ? let 's go . lucas : no , no , you go . you go , i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm staying right here . you probably think all pads are the same kate : i 'm going to have to insist . you need to give allie space . lucas : she does n't even know what she 's planning to do . kate : hey , listen to me . you listen to me ! you know she 's safe . you know she 's here . but if you stay here and keep giving her a hard time , you 're only making things worse . lucas : all right , fine . fine , i 'll go . but i 'm coming back tomorrow , and i have a lot of questions for you . do you understand that ? allie : fine . but you have to promise to not tell mom . lucas : i ca n't make that promise . allie : he 's going to tell her . i know he is . xander : ah , maggie . so glad you 're here . i need your help with something . maggie : xander , why would i lift a finger to help you after what you did ? sarah : thanks for meeting me . brady : hey , sure . so , what 's up ? sarah : well , i finally saw my mom . brady : how 'd it go ? sarah : uh ... good . at first . brady : at first ? what happened ? sarah : well , xander told her that we 're having an affair . brady : did you tell her that it was n't true ? did you tell her that ? sarah : well ... [ ahem ] she said that she does n't think it 's `` healthy `` for you and me to have any kind of a relationship , so that made me realize that , uh , we got ta make some changes . brady : changes ? sarah : mm - hmm . brady : like what do we need to do ? marlena : yeah , thank you for filling me in , kate . i appreciate it . [ phone beeps ] well , we were right . allie is with eric and nicole . john : oh , that 's a relief . and i presume eric is going to contact samantha , right ? marlena : i assume he will . john : good . hey , kid ! shawn : oh , hey ! john : did you see your mom ? shawn : uh , yeah , yeah , i did . marlena : and how did she -- how did she take it ? shawn : well , she 's , uh , she 's thrilled for claire , but she 's also protective of ciara . she said she 's gon na let ciara know that claire is in town . i think , uh , i think i should probably fill claire in , also . is she around ? john : she kind of got tuckered out and went in for a nap . shawn : okay , i probably should go check on her , then . um , you know what ? on second thought , i do n't want her to accuse me of hovering . ciara : yeah , i put some of the flyers up , so let 's hope that someone sees them and recognizes gwen . or else i 'm gon na have to go to the police about gabi , ben .

chloe : nothing . eva : i 've been meaning to congratulate you about that amazing offer from cecilia marin . chloe : thanks . eva : it 's a lot to think about , huh ? chloe : yeah . people keep telling me it 's the opportunity of a lifetime , like i 'll never have another one . eva : of course you will . but you 've only got one chance at this one . it does n't matter how long you 've been doing this . whenever a gig comes along , you always wonder ... if i don take this , if i hold out for something more , if i wait for a better time -- is that it ? will -- will i ever have another chance at this ? chloe : are you happy singing here ? eva : sure . it 's a tradeoff , you know . i used to tour a lot , and now i - i -- i need to settle down , maybe even start family . i would n't have wanted that when i was 18 . and maybe it 's different for you , and that 's okay . your family is here . chloe : well , actually , my dad was just offered a job out of nowhere . they 're moving to new york . eva : you 're kidding . chloe : why should i have to choose the man i love or my dream ? i mean , i 'm so happy here , and going to europe , training with ms . marin -- it 's all going to be so hard . and what if it does n't turn out the way i expect it ? eva : do n't you think if you and brady are really meant to be , he 'll be waiting for you whenouou get back ? chloe : i had a bone marrow transplant to cure my leukemia , and i 'm cured , but people do n't really realize that that was my best chance , but it does n't mean for sure that i 'm always going to be okay . eva : nobody is , right ? chloe : yeah , but your odds are a lot better than mine , and if i only have so much time , why would i want to spend it away from the people that i love ? eva : ha ha . do you want to give up your dream ? chloe : of course not . eva : going by that argument , you 're never going to leave here , chloe , and that is fine , if that is what you want . chloe : no . brady wo n't let me . he does n't believe it 's what i want . eva : can you blame him ? you do n't seem so sure . chloe : should n't it be my decision ? eva : sure . but if you really love him , you do n't want him to be miserable , do you ? chloe : if he really loves me , why would he want me to go ? [ sighs ] because he loves me so much . i know . philip : so i heard dr . and mrs . wesley are moving to new york . brady : yes , they are . it 's an awful lot for chloe to handle all at once . look , philip , i know that you 're trying to put what happened between you and chloe behind you . and i do n't mean to put you in the middle of it again , but i do know you care about chlo and she needs your help . when you said that i should go to europe with chloe , i thought it was a great idea . i did . but then i realized -- see , being sick , it took something away from chloe -- her confidence . it 's like she put everything she had -- all of her fight and all of her energy -- into getting well . and she does not want to do that anymore . when she was in the hospital , the two of us came to understand the most important thing to chloe is her life ... and her health . philip : and her happiness . brady : yes . exactly . see , you and i , we 've made a lot of mistakes . did a lot of things that made chloe pretty damn miserable . she is really unhappy with me right now , but i do n't think that i 'm making a mistake . if there 's anything that you can do to convince her to let go and just ... philip : i do n't know if there is . but i 'll try , brady . of course i will . you and i both know her so well . we know how much it means to her to sing , to be her own person , to see the world , and to love . so , uh , of course . i 'll do whatever i can to help you help her . g ? ocwogckc ' ; ó / óoo7goóg hope : oh , my -- i - i do n't like this , and i do n't even know what i do n't like yet . i never dreamt it would be this much money . bo : we 're not gon na have to get a loan . hope : we could use my trust fund . bo : no , that 's for the boys . we 're not gon na touch that but we do have a very valuable asset that we could liquidate . we could sell the `` fancy face . `` larry : well , you might be blond , but you 're pretty quick . nicole : oh , yeah . i 'm quick . larry : yeah . do you dye ? nicole : what ? no , i 'm not dying ! larry : no , no , not die . dye -- d - y - e. you 're a natural blond , all right . ahh . au natural . oh , baby , i ca n't wait . natural - born killer is what i mean . you know , i 'm not crazy about the idea of having someone like you faking my death . i mean , what if you 've got it in for me ? nicole : you 've never done anything to me . larry : yeah . well , why do n't you just go out and kill this guy yourself ? nicole : because victor has a tail on me . i ca n't even breathe without him knowing it . larry : whoa , whoa , wait . does he know you 're here ? because i do n't need victor putting out a contract on me . nicole : no , no , no . his bodyguards wo n't come anywhere near the criminal justice complex here , all right ? they 're a little bit conspicuous . larry : i see . nicole : you know , i 'm your only chance to get out of here before you die . and you are due for a transfer to m maximum security prison . this is your last chance . you could have your fatal accident during the transfer . larry : okay . well , then who 's gon na die for real ? nicole : what ? larry : you 're gon na need a body . where you gon na find a body ? rex : okay , professor putnam was keeping a lot of secrets . i - i really do n't want to drag you into this , but ... okay , he was the one that knew things , all right ? things that he could n't tell other people , or wouldn't . one of those people was tony . mimi : wait . he knows -- knew tony ? rex : i think he was working for him , sort of . mimi : what do you mean ? rex : he used to work for my grandfather -- i mean stefano -- and the reason we thought he was my grandfather was because of him . mimi : professor putnam ? rex : no . his -- his real name is -- mimi : was . rex : dr. wilhelm rolf , okay ? he 's the one that created us -- me and cassie . mimi : how do you know this ? rex : 'cause he told me . he is the geneticist who made us into what we are , and then he made marlena our surrogate mother . mimi : and then he kept you locked up ? rex : apparently so . mimi : and then he came to salem with ugly fake hair ? rex : yeah , and an accent . mimi : and pretended to be our professor because he wanted to make you guys -- i do n't know , what , why , what did he want you to do ? rex : i do n't know . that 's what i was trying to find out , but he -- just he lied so many times . i just want to know who i am , where i came from , and who my mother was . but now i might never know , because when i was grilling him , he just -- hgogot hit by the crates , and now -- mimi : i 'm so sorry , rex . rex : i 'm already lying to tony . i have n't told him i 'm not his son . i 'm enough of a disappointment without being the one responsible for the death of the man who had all the answers . for the first time in my life , i do n't have a plan . i do n't have a idea what to do . eva : in this business , you have to make decisions like this every day . it seems like life and death now , but you 've been through life and death . chloe : i know , and i promised myself i 'd never get caught up in petty things again . eva : of course this is n't petty , but 10 , 15 years from now , you 'll look back and you 'll see why things happened the way they did , and you 'll -- you 'll wonder why you agonized over something that seems so clear in hindsight . i 've found that if i make choices out of love , in the end , it all works out . even a bad experience is an experience . chloe : it 's really nice talking to someone who , you know , has kind of been there . most people do n't really understand how it feels . eva : well , i 'd better get going . oh , good luck , chloe . chloe : thank you . eva : i know that whatever decision you make , you 'll be fine . philip : so when would chloe leave if she did take this job ? eva : bye . brady : find your music ? eva : yeah , and i had a good little talk with chloe . brady : what ? chloe 's here ? eva : yeah . philip : good . philip : hey . chloe : hi , philip . philip : hi . chloe : i hope you did n't come to hear me sing . philip : might be my last chance . chloe : do n't say that . philip : are you going to europe ? chloe : well , brady 's trying to blackmail me into leaving him . he says that if i do n't go to europe , he 's going to break up with me . philip : so , of course , you have to be stubborn and do just the opposite . chloe : why is it that he thinks he knows better about what i need or what i want ? philip : what about what he needs ? chloe : i want him to need me . [ sighs ] this is supposed to be the happiest time in my life , philip . why is it all so complicated ? philip : listen , i just left home for the first time in my life . i left my family , friends , servants , decent food , clothes , a mansion . i did n't even have a roof over my head , chloe . and i 'm not half as brave or as talented or as independent as you are . i did n't have a dream . i did n't have a calling . 4d so if i could do it ... chloe : are you glad that you did it ? philip : yeah , i am . you see , going away gives you some perspective . i know i got pretty obsessive with you , and all i did was make you run away . do n't let that happen to you . if what you and brady have is real , then this long- distance thing is going to be fine . it might actually be good , because if you guys ca n't survive being apart , something 's wrong , and it probably is n't going to work out no matter what you do . and if one good thing came out of our relationship , i hope we both learned that . just do n't make the same mistakes i did , chloe . okay ? oorç ñññ [ rex : you okay ? mimi : yeah . rex : you got goose bumps . mimi : well , besides being freaked out and creeped out -- what ? rex : oh , never mind . mimi : tell me . rex : well , i mean , i suppose my olfactory system is more sensitive than most , but he 's starting to smell . mimi : ew ! rex : okay , okay . what we really need is refrigeration . mimi : or we could dump him in the lake , or at a construction site where he 'd get buried in concrete and become part of the foundation of a building , or a vat of acid at one of the factories in brookville . i watch a lot of tv . it 's starting to come back to me now . rex : the problem is , eventually , bodies get found . mimi : oh , yeah , tell me about it . one time , at shawn 's parents ' wedding -- rex : and when they 're found , it 's pretty much assumed there was a murder . mimi : but there was n't a murder ! rex : right . mimi : okay . i know where we could find a body - sized refrigerator -- a place where nobody would think twice about finding a dead body . rex : you do ? mimi : ever seen that show `` crossing jordan `` ? rex : mimi , you 're a genius . mimi : mm - hmm . hope : `` fancy face . `` bo : i know . think about .. how many times have we used her this year ? or last year , or the year before that . hope : i just thought that , when zack got older , we 'd teach him how to sail , just like we taught shawn . bo : yeah , well , we could do that without the `` fancy face . `` and this is -- it 's an investment in his future . hope : whew . i know . i know in my mind , i 'll always have the memories , but ... that boat is -- i mean , in my mind , i always see you and i sailing off into the sunset . are our travelg g days over ? bo : no , of course they 're not . we just travel in a different way . look , if this bounty hunting thing works out , we 'll net some bounty , and maybe by the time we retire , we can buy the `` fancy face `` back . hope : if she 's for lele . and i do n't know why anyone in their right mind would ever let her go to begin with . bo : okay , thanks . if you do n't want to do this , i 'll understand . hope : i 'm thinking , i 'm thinking , i 'm thinking , i 'm thinking . bo : uh - oh . hope : come with me . bo : anywhere . hope : that 's why i love you , brady . let 's go . bo : mm . nicole : all right , uh , we can work around the dead body part , okay ? you can disappear into the river somewhere . larry : no , no , no , no , that 's how i died the last time , as you may recall . that 's not going to cut it . they 're never going to buy it . nicole : all right , all right . we 'll figure something else out . larry : ha ha . what ? what ? you ca n't just go around charging a corpse to your credit card . nicole : it 's not like victor left me any , anyhow . larry : well , is there anybody else that you hate enough to off ? nicole : oh . do you think they 'll notice if the body 's female ? no , i ca n't do that . well , she is in intensive care . larry : oh , please . nicole : no , no , no . i 'm having you murder victor so i keep my hands clean . larry : all right . all right , then you 're just going to have to use your best assets . seduce someone . nicole : what , a dead body ? larry : that 's up toou . i mean , i was thinking more like an associate , but , uh , you know , there 's got to be some lonely guy down at the morgue who 's just aching for some ... human loving companionship . just , um , offer him a live one in exchange for a stiff one . nicole : yuck . larry : well , i - i mean a stiff corpse , of course . nicole : you know , it 's bad enough i have to sleep with you . larry : do you want to do this or not ? nicole : i do n't know . i mean , you 're insisting on a real live dead body . what happens when they fingerprint and process the body , hmm ? how am i supposed to make them believe that it 's yours , huh ? how ? chloe : thank you . me too . yes , i 'll talk to you then . bye - bye . brady : tim said you were looking for me . chloe : yeah , brady . i decided . i called cecilia marin , and i accepted the offer . brady : that 's -- that 's unbelievable . that 's -- good for you . you happy ?

[ scene_break ] nicole : [ thinking ] it was a gamble storming away from brady like that . he should have come after me by now . so where is he ? i wish i knew what was going on out there . all i know is if chloe decided to come out of hiding , i 'm history . and if she does n't , it wo n't matter anyway , because tony dimera knows what i did . he 's going to tell brady i ruined her surgery . if only i knew for sure that sami was stan , i might have some leverage . think , nicole . there had to be some clue . sami : looks like you could use a friend . nicole : who are you ? what do you want ? sami : i 'm here to help you keep chloe lane out of brady 's life ... permanently . nicole : brady loves me ! sami : believe what you want . but if i were brady and i knew the true love of my life were still alive , you 'd mean about as much to me as a $ 2 whore . nicole : why , you ... sami : i know you 've never let anything get in the way of what you wanted before -- not when you broke eric brady 's heart ... or when you married lucas roberts and turned him into a self - destructive drunk ... not even when you seduced old man kiriakis and then married him for his money but kept yourself busy boffing colin murphy behind his back . nicole : who told you that ? who the hell are you ? if sami really is stan , i 've got to find a way to prove it . oh ! sami : god , nicole 's still staring at me , is n't she ? lucas : what 's wrong with you , sami ? why are you so jumpy ? sami : i 'm not jumpy , okay ? it 's just she 's crazy , and she hates me . lucas : get used to that , because just about everybody in salem hates you . sami : do you hate me ? nicole : well , if he does n't now , he will when he hears what you 've done this time .

[ scene_break ] john : all right , why does n't everybody just slow down and tell me what 's going on here ? marlena : i 'm so glad you 're here . john : i thought you were going home after alice 's . marlena : yeah , i was . then i wanted to see belle one last time before she left . i 'm glad i came by . when i walked in , kate was berating belle . kate : because , once again , i walked in , and i found belle in shawn 's arms . shawn d. : we explained . she was upset . i was consoling her . marlena : belle would never hurt philip . she 's on her way to comfort him in germany right now . kate : she 's going out of guilt and no other reason . belle : that is not true ! kate : maybe you condone her actions , but i do n't . and directly or indirectly , she is responsible for everything that 's happened to philip . marlena : kate , you know -- john : let me talk to her . marlena : shawn , let me talk to belle alone , please . shawn d. : sure . belle : could you just get my other suitcase from upstairs ? shawn d. : yeah , absolutely . [ scene_break ] belle : i 'm sorry you got dragged into this again . marlena : do n't feel sorry about that . i 'm just glad that i was here . belle : it really was n't what it looked like . marlena : i know that . i also know that you and shawn have rekindled your affection for each other . it 's natural . you and shawn have been in love since you were little pups . honey , you 've got ta think about philip . he 's lost so much . i 'm not sure he could live with a broken heart . belle : so are you saying that i should n't tell him about wanting to be with shawn ever ? [ scene_break ] john : kate , i know you 're having a tough time . you just got some horrible news . but belle 's having a hard time herself . kate : i know . i know that . i 'm sorry , it 's just i lost it . i lost it when i walked in there and saw her in shawn 's arms . john , philip does n't deserve that . john : of course he does n't . but i think you and i both know that love can be ... complicated . kate : yes , we do know that , do n't we ? but this is n't a level playing field . if philip had the chance to fight for her , then he could prove to her that they were meant to be together . but shawn has been manipulating her and confusing her ever since philip shipped out . and now it 's going to be hard enough with him having to deal with losing his leg , but to lose his wife and to lose the love of his life ... john , we ca n't let that happen . you know as well as i do that philip is better for belle than shawn . john : they 're adults . we have to let them live their own lives . i 'm gon na see if belle 's all packed , and if she is , we will be out of here in a few minutes . i 'll wait here . i have to make a phone call before we leave . john : why do n't you just wait right here ? kate : i 'm sorry , john , but you 're wrong about that . sometimes parents do have to get involved to keep their children from being hurt . and i 'll be damned if i 'm going to let shawn brady take away the one thing that philip has to live for .

[ scene_break ] marlena : how was kate ? john : oh , well , this has n't been easy , especially coming here , seeing shawn consoling belle did n't go over real big , but i think she 'll be okay once she gets to germany and sees philip for herself . marlena : i 'm sure that 's true . i wish she would be more understanding of belle , though , and what she 's going through . she was shawn 's first love . he was hers . john : come on , do n't make excuses for the kid . look , doc , you always look for the good in everybody , and i love that about you , but you were n't here to see what that kid turned into . he 's been out of control . you were n't here to see when he crashed his motorcycle through that window at st. luke 's during belle 's wedding -- almost killed her , philip , himself , and a half - dozen other people . marlena : i did see that . tony would bring in a closed - circuit monitor . from time to time , he would show roman and i what was going on with our loved ones -- what they were doing while they were back in salem . john : i thought you ... told me that tony just told you what was happening . marlena : he did whatever he could to torture us . but the visuals were especially effective . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : you sure you 're okay ? belle : yeah . shawn d. : kate had no right to attack you like that . belle : i 'm almost getting used to it by now . shawn d. : you should n't have to . belle : she 's worried about philip , just like we all are . the important thing is that we stay strong for him . shawn d. : yeah ... which is why i think i should go with you to germany . belle : no . shawn d. : no , i can be there for you . belle : no , i will have my dad . shawn d. : it 's not the same . belle : you being there would absolutely antagonize kate even more , and she would find a way to hurt you . i know she would .
