[ scene_break ] patrick : you think i switched that disc . you 're crazy . bo : am i ? hope : bo , please . patrick : i 'm the one who found it in the first place . i 'm the one who realized the surveillance cameras at the convenience store would have gotten a shot of whoever drove by that night . i took it to the police . now , why would i want that to disappear now ? bo : because by making me look responsible , you knew that would cause a bigger rift between my wife and me . and since you seduced her on the island , that 's exactly what you wanted . hope : what is the matter with you ? do you really think i 'm gon na buy this ? even if patrick wanted to switch the discs , there 's no way he could have gained access to the evidence room , like you did . bo : you underestimate him . he learned a hell of a lot while working with the dimeras . patrick : yeah , well , i 'm not houdini , and that 's what it would have taken for me to get into that evidence room , especially since you put me on salem p.d . 's `` most wanted `` list . bo : you are a killer and a con man , and i 'll prove it . hope : no , you 're just a very desperate man trying to cover up his own guilt . bo : you 're right , hope . i am desperate , but i 'm not covering up anything .. and i would n't do anything to hurt you . i love you . hope : no , you 're a liar . [ scene_break ] abe : tek , thank you for getting here so quickly . i hope i did n't pull you away from anything important . tek : no , no , what 's this investigation you want me to head up ? abe : i want you to prove that bo did n't take that video disc of chelsea using her cellphone while driving . eve : i already told the commissioner the computer log does n't lie . tek : actually , it could . computers are fallible , too . eve : maybe , but you already know that bo was the one in the evidence room , so how are you gon na prove he did n't do it ? tek : actually , i think i may be able to tell you exactly who switched that evidence disc . [ scene_break ] lexie : okay , okay , okay , okay . you 're right . i was with tek . celeste : alexandra , why wo n't you learn ? i 've warned you about that man . lexie : i know , mom , i -- look , i broke it off with him , okay ? celeste : you 've told me that before . lexie : well , this time i really did , all right ? i want to make things work with abe , okay ? only i -- oh , gosh . celeste : only what ? lexie : only , uh , walking away from tek this time was harder than i expected . celeste : alexandra , sex -- darling , it 's a powerful temptation , but it 's no substitute for love . lexie : yeah , yeah . and well , sex is all there is between tek and me . celeste : i detect an unspoken `` but . `` lexie : it 's nothing . celeste : darling , if you keep it a secret , it will only grow more powerful . will you please talk to me ? lexie : okay , um ... when i told tek that it was over , he said he loved me .. celeste : alexandra , i 'm sure that mr. kramer has told many , many women that he loves them . lexie : yeah , i know . i know . and when he said it to me in the past , i always knew that it was a lie , mom . but this time ... this time i really believe he meant it , mom . [ scene_break ] kayla : i can not believe it 's you , but i know who put you up to this . jennifer : well , yes , you know , it is not easy saying no to your mother . kayla : are things really as bad with bo and hope as she said ? jennifer : yeah . look , maybe if you came back here , you could give them a fresh perspective . kayla : oh , now you really sound like my mother -- a little catholic guilt . jennifer : [ laughing ] wait a minute . that 's not what i meant . kayla : i know . i know . i 'm just kidding . jennifer : look , i , um , i just wanted to tell you , i know what it 's like to lose the man that you love . and i know how much it hurts to see reminders of him everywhere . so i know that you coming back to salem , you would be confronted with your life with steve everywhere you turn . but i want you to know that those reminders do n't always have to be painful . every memory i have with jack , every happy memory was made here . and it 's good for me because it gives me comfort . i feel close to him . kayla : really ? jennifer : yeah , kayla , really . kayla : you know , jennifer , it 's so good to talk to somebody who really understands . jennifer : yeah , me too . so , what do you say ? does this mean you 're gon na come home for my wedding ? kayla : yeah , yeah , of course i 'll come . i mean , how could i -- how could i possibly miss seeing you become my sister - in - law all over again ? [ scene_break ] nick : go ahead . pick up the phone and call her . jack : i do n't have the number . nick : you people are from salem , right ? try salem information . jack : she 's not there . i think she lives somewhere in los angeles . nick : ooh , well , that 's a whole lot of phone books . gon na have to be more specific . why do n't you call your wife for the number ? jack : it 's like i told you . i told dr. butler . she already thinks i 'm dead . she 's already mourned me . i 'm not putting her through all this again . nick : hmm . well , i do n't know what to say , except that maybe you do n't really want this fantasy challenged . jack : it 's not a fantasy . it 's not a fantasy . you 're steve johnson . you 're my brother . i do n't know how you 're still alive or why you do n't remember who you are , but you 're steve . and kayla 's still out there , and believe it or not , she still loves you . nick : oh , that reminds me . i give all my new patients one of these . it says , `` i am loved . `` gon na eat that sherbet ? jack : [ exhales sharply ] nick : no ? jack : no . nick : all right , i 'll check back with you later . jack : wait , wait , wait , wait . just -- please . look , i know you do n't think you 're my brother steve , but just -- here . take a look at this . just take a look at the woman in that picture . tell me you do n't know who she is . nick : she 's your wife . jack : that 's it . i knew it . you do remember . [ scene_break ] abe : so , how can you tell us what the computer log ca n't ? tek : well , after hope was attacked down here by the salem stalker , i rigged this room with a digital surveillance system . i figured it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the evidence room . looks like i was right . eve : are you saying the camera 's been recording everything in here ever since ? tek : i hope so . it 's been a while since we 've checked it out . but if we 're lucky , i 'll be able to access the digital database , and we can see exactly who did what down here . abe : okay ! great job , kramer . you go on . michaels , i need you to drive me over to the courthouse . eve : uh , but detective kramer might need some help . abe : he 's going to be fine . i want to get there before bo and hope leave .. they 're gon na want to see this . eve : yes , sir . [ scene_break ] frankie : so , could i have a moment with chelsea ? kate : well , actually , we were just going to go celebrate . billie : yes , you can , frankie . come on , mom . [ scene_break ] frankie : thank you . so ... now that the trial 's over , are you gon na do the right thing ? chelsea : you mean tell bo and hope about how i changed the e - mails to keep them at each other 's throats ? frankie : that 's right . you 're responsible for their breakup . and now there 's no chance of you going to prison . no reason to keep them apart , right ? if you truly want to respect zack 's memory and truly want to make a new start for yourself , you have to admit what you 've done . chelsea : i know that . frankie : so , you 'll do it . you 'll tell the truth . chelsea : no . [ scene_break ] kate : why -- why do you insist on being so self - righteous ? billie : because i was a cop and isa , and you tampered with evidence . kate : oh , this is coming from my daughter who gave a phony confession , who was willing to go to jail to keep her daughter from being arrested . why is that any different from what i 'm doing ? it 's not . i 'll tell you , it 's not . you 're just like your brother austin . you 'll take any excuse -- any excuse not to be happy . billie : what the hell is that supposed to mean , mother ? kate : what that means is that you 're acting like this is the worst thing that could possibly happen to you when it 's absolutely the best thing that could happen to you and chelsea . you are being given another shot at the man that you love . for god 's sakes , take it . [ scene_break ] frankie : what do you mean you wo n't tell them what you did ? why not ? chelsea : because rather than get them upset at me again ... look , it 's just not gon na make a difference . frankie : of course it will . chelsea : it 's not . look , hope was ready to forgive him about the old e - mail . but she 's never gon na forgive him for switching that disc . frankie : if he switched it . i , for one , do n't believe he did . chelsea : well , then , who else could have ? he 's the only one that had access into that room , the only one that had motive , and the only one that had opportunity . hope 's never gon na forgive him for that . their marriage is -- it 's history , frankie . even you have to know that . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , let 's go . you do n't need to listen to this again . bo : you 're not taking my wife anywhere . patrick : it 's not your call . hope : patrick , give me a second with bo , okay ? [ scene_break ] bo : hope , i love you . and i know you still love me . hope : of course i still love you . i probably always will . that 's the hell of it . all you 've done is lie to me . and now to find out that you destroyed the evidence that -- bo : i did n't destroy anything . hope : you know what ? i ca n't deal with this . i wo n't deal with it anymore . all i wanted was justice so i could have some kind of closure . i was n't asking for chelsea to go to prison for the rest of her life , but she needed to be punished . she needed to take responsibility . and picking up trash in the damn park for killing my son just does n't cut it for me . but i guess it does for you . bo : no -- hope : i guess you think that 's all your son 's life is worth . bo : how can i get you to believe me ? hell , you do n't even give me the benefit of the doubt . hope : i tried over and over and again and again and again . and i ca n't do it anymore . so , if it was n't clear before , it is now . what you and i had -- it 's over . it 's finished . [ scene_break ] celeste : do n't be taken in by tek 's declaration of love for you , alexandra . the devil knows our weaknesses , darling , and they 're quick to exploit it . lexie : mom , please , tek is hardly the devil . come on . celeste : well , are you sure ? he wants your soul , alexandra . lexie : you know what ? it does n't matter , okay ? i already told you i broke it off with him , okay ? celeste : but a part of you is still conflicted , alexandra . i can see it . i guarantee you he saw it , too . lexie : nope , you 're wrong . celeste : do n't fool yourself . look , i read your cards while i was waiting . now , if you 're not careful , you risk not only losing abraham , alexandra , but theodore , too . [ scene_break ] caroline : any luck ? jennifer : yes , she 's booking a flight . she 'll be here later today . caroline : oh , that is wonderful ! you did it . kayla : thank god for budget airlines . maybe mom and jennifer are right . maybe i ca n't stay away forever . i ca n't hide from my memories . maybe it 's time for me to go home . [ scene_break ] jack : if you remember jennifer , then you 're halfway to remembering me and everything else about your life . nick : yeah , except , mr. jack deveraux , i do n't remember jennifer . i just assumed that if you had a picture of a beautiful woman and kids in a locket , the woman would be your wife . and she is beautiful . jack : yes , she is . and i love every inch of her . nick : but you wo n't call every inch of her . jack : i told you , i ca n't . nick : well , then i do n't know how we 're gon na find you this kaylie 's phone number . jack : kayla . look ... i got another way of proving that you 're my blood brother . nick : yeah , what 's that ? jack : i want you to grant my dying wish . take a dna test with me . nick : ai - ai - ai .

[ scene_break ] jack : will you do it ? will you grant me my dying wish and take the dna test with me ? nick : i told you , man . i 've seen this kind of thing before . it 's either the meds or wishful thinking or you 're a whack job . jack : then humor me . nick : all right . if it 'll make you rest easier , i 'll take a dna test with you . i 'll prove to you i 'm not who you think i am . you want some ?

[ sniffles ] finding out that gabi was involved in melanie 's kidnapping , that ... that threw me . that 's crazy , right ? sonny : will ... uh , there 's something i have to tell you . will : you knew , did n't you ? [ sighs ] i knew it . there was always something about gabi that you did n't like . and what have we been talking about -- no more secrets between us ? you 're my husband . we 're supposed to share everything with each other . sonny : i 'm sorry , will , not this time . kate : i do n't know what you 're talking about . oh ... are you talking about the phone call with your father ? [ scoffs ] were you eavesdropping on me ? ej : no , i could hear your conversation from the other side of the square . kate : oh . well , then why are you suspicious ? we were just catching up . ej : you were having a conversation about dimera enterprises . kate : well , your father always has appreciated my business sense . ej : i had always thought it was , uh ... rather different assets that my father appreciated . kate : you know , i thought you would appreciate that your father and i are getting along . i mean , are n't you the one who pressured me to forgive him ? are n't you the one who told me you had never seen stefano happier than when he was with me , or am i just imagining those conversations ? ej : well , was i imagining when you said you would never forgive him in a million years ? i mean , after what you 've been through , the idea of you two actually ... kate : your father and i are not the kind of people who hold grudges . ej : [ laughs ] right . kate : you should learn from that . marlena : you ca n't mean that . sami : i absolutely do . nick fallon almost got will killed . he tried to take arianna away from her home , her father . and he was trying to do it again . marlena : he was a human being . he had family , and nobody had the right to kill him . sami : he did n't have the right to do what he was doing . do you even have any idea how sick and twisted he was ? marlena : i do . and so did he . he was asking for help . listen to this . nick : hi , uh , marlena . it 's nick fallon . um ... sami : look , i know , okay ? i heard it . nick : julie suggested that i call you . marlena : keep listening . nick : she thought you might be able to recommend somebody for me to see , you know , professionally -- professionally . um ... you know , i just -- i do n't -- i do n't think -- i do n't think i can go on like this . and ... um , i just got to shut it all down , you know ? um , it 's -- it 's time . i know that i 'm hurting people . i know that . and i 'm hurting me . i 'm hurting myself , and ... and i do n't want to do that . and i can -- i can change it . [ sighs ] it feels really good just actually saying that , you know , like -- like -- like , maybe there 's hope . marlena : okay . can you hear the desperation , the torment in his voice ? but there was hope ... because there is always hope . he needed help . he was trying to get it , but he never had the chance . sami : what are you talking about ? he had plenty of chances , and he blew them all . what were the rest of us supposed to do -- just sit around letting him torture us while he figured out that he needed to make a change ? a change that was , by the way , never going to happen . i 'm sorry , mom . no way . i know what you want to hear me say right now , but i 'm not going to . i am glad that monster is dead ... for good this time . [ door slams ] marlena : [ sighs ] daniel : rafe . rafe : yeah , listen , sorry to show up without calling . daniel : no . no worries . it 's great to see you . how 'd it go with gabi this morning ? come on in . rafe : uh ... okay . daniel : hey , look , i , uh -- you know , i left you a message . if you need me to write a letter or if there 's any way i can help -- rafe : no , no , no , thanks . thanks , but , um ... the judge already okayed gabi 's plea agreement . she 's on her way to prison , so ... daniel : i 'm sorry about that . i mean ... i mean , it is the best - case scenario . i mean , gabi -- she was a good kid who just ... got caught up in a terrible situation . rafe : yeah . well , there 's actually something else that i need to talk to you about . daniel : did nicole call you ? rafe : nicole ? no , why ? daniel : i just thought maybe ... never mind . it 's -- maybe she 'll tell you . it 's complicated . rafe : yeah . speaking of complicated , um ... daniel : yeah , what is -- what 's going on here ? rafe : well , it 's about you and me and ... gabi . ben : you want to sit ? abigail : sure . ben : i know you do n't feel like talking , but , uh ... can i ask you a question ? it 's kind of personal . abigail : oh , uh , sure . ben : what was it like living in london ? abigail : wow . that -- that is really random . ben : yeah , well , you 're looking at a person who 's never been outside the u.s. , like , not even canada . abigail : oh . ben : london 's near the top of my bucket list . abigail : wait . okay , you 're way too young to have a bucket list . ben : it 's long enough that i need to get on it . abigail : all right , well , uh , what do you want to know about london , besides the fact that you absolutely have to go there ? ben : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm not really interested in the touristy stuff . but when you were there , what were your favorite things to do ? abigail : oh , god , uh ... well , my mom and i would go to the theatre almost every week . it 's not nearly as expensive as it is here . um , with my dad , it was ... the museums -- the tate modern , the v & a. ; i totally sound like a guidebook right now . ben : no . no , no , it 's not like you were doing those things to check them off a list . abigail : no , no , not at all . it 's really great . my dad taught me so much about art and -- and history and shakespeare . i just -- i wish i would 've paid more attention . ben : i heard somewhere that your dad wrote a book . abigail : yeah , he did . he , um ... he wrote a book about his time as a hostage in afghanistan . ben : a hostage ? abigail : yeah . ben : [ scoffs ] abigail : it 's really great that he got a chance to tell his story , you know ? it 's important . and it 's selling really well , which is great , because it means that a lot of people have heard it . ben : yeah . abigail : um ... i do n't know if this is even gon na happen , but a studio is negotiating right now to buy the rights and turn it into a film . ben : [ exhales sharply ] still , that 's awesome ! abigail : yeah . ben : wow . abigail : yeah , my mom is ... is giving all the proceeds to veterans organizations . and it 's just so nice to know that my dad 's legacy is contributing to such an important cause . ben : i bet . your family 's so -- just ... abigail : complicated ? ben : [ chuckles ] every family 's complicated . i was going to say `` accomplished . `` abigail : you know , i do n't know a single thing about your family . ben : [ sighs ] oh , it 's just ... abigail : what ? come on , why do n't you tell me about them ? ben : [ sighs ] ej : listen , i want to know every move my father makes , especially anything that has to do with this upcoming board meeting , okay ? thank you . hey . sami : hey . ej : how you doing ? how did your grandmother take the news about gabi ? sami : oh , not well . she 's upset , obviously . she was so close to gabi . but she knows it 's better than if it had gone to trial . you want to tell me what was going on with that phone call ? ej : i , um -- i just overheard kate having a conversation with my father . sami : [ sighs ] what did she say about me now ? ej : nothing . no , no , no . but , um , i got a feeling this may be a bumpy ride . sami : [ sighs ] sonny : and then nick forced chad into signing a legal agreement stipulating that no one would know gabi hired andrew . will : so how did you find out ? sonny : chad blurted it out . will : so he broke the agreement . sonny : he did n't mean to . and i wanted to tell you so badly , but my dad 's the one that drew up the agreement , and he told me i could n't tell anyone , not even you . will : so you felt like if you told me that you 'd -- sonny : i would be betraying chad and my father . and i swear to you , will , if i thought for one minute this could hurt you by knowing this information , i would 've told you . i never want anything to happen to you . i hope you can forgive me . will : [ chuckles ] of course i do . [ sighs ] so much makes sense now . nick always had this over gabi . whether or not he used it against her ... he always had this control over her ... from the very beginning of their relationship . sonny : yeah . i was angry at gabi for a very long time . but i do know that she felt horrible about what happened to melanie . will : and now she 's admitted it to the police . everyone knows ... and it 's going to get ugly . rafe : you should know that killing nick was n't gabi 's first crime . daniel : okay , you do n't really have to explain this to me . rafe : i do , yeah . you see , gabi got involved in something a while back that was , uh ... it was pretty serious . it was around the time that you and i were helping nicole hide her pregnancy from ej . daniel : uh - huh . rafe : we actually became good friends . daniel : okay . rafe : well ... gabi should 've probably gone to prison for what she did then . daniel : okay , i do n't know why you feel the need to tell me this . rafe : because ... it involved melanie . daniel : what do you mean ? rafe : what i mean is that gabi was responsible for hiring andrew ... the guy that kidnapped melanie . marlena : how are you holding up ? hope : i was his family , and i let him down . marlena : no , you did n't . hope : yes , i did . i was n't there for him , not nearly as much as i should 've been . marlena : you know what ? when tragedy strikes ... we all try to figure out what we could 've one differently ... how maybe one little thing might 've changed ... everything . but that sort of thinking is counterproductive , except when it makes us do things differently in the future . hope : i hope so . marlena : i know so . and it 's the people that do n't have regrets that should really concern us . sami : there is no way i 'm gon na let that woman come between us . ej : hey , i do n't think you need to worry about that . look , what kate wants more than anything else is -- is money , power , and respect . sami : well , good luck to her . ej : i overheard , during this conversation , my father talking about how this upcoming board meeting would be a good opportunity to show who is really in charge at dimera enterprises . sami : you are , ej . stefano had better not try to take that away from you , not after everything that you went through to earn back his trust . ej : i do n't think we need to worry about that . sami : you do n't think ? ej : no . my father and i -- we 're on solid ground . i do n't think he 'd do anything to unsettle that , unless ... sami : unless he is that desperate to get kate back . ben : my family 's boring . abigail : [ chuckles ] you know , somehow i doubt that . ben : we have n't lived in south africa ... and ireland and ... which one did you like the best ? abigail : london . yeah , definitely london , not just because of the city , but because it was also the ... the last place that my whole family was together . ben : hmm . abigail : you did n't really want to ask me about london , though , did you ? ben : what makes you say that ? abigail : because i think that you were doing that to distract me from thinking about everything with nick and gabi . ben : no , no , i just really wanted to -- abigail : ben ... thank you . ben : you 're welcome . but i honestly did want to hear about london . abigail : [ chuckles ] ben : and it was nice to learn a little bit more about you . you 've had a really interesting life . abigail : well , i wish it were a little less interesting , especially the last couple of weeks . ben : i bet . abigail : you know , nick was , uh ... yeah , he was the smartest person i ever knew . and gabi ... [ voice breaking ] she had this beautiful child and ... this bright future ahead of her . it 's just such a waste , you know ? ben : what do you think happened ? abigail : i think that , uh ... one bad decision led to another , and ... it 's crazy how fast everything just spiraled out of control or how easy it is for something like that to happen . ben : abigail , they made a lot of bad choices . abigail : yeah . yeah . ben : hey . look at me . that is not going to happen to you . abigail : what if it already has ? rafe : gabi was desperate to get chad 's attention , and ... chad only had eyes for melanie . daniel : all right , go on . rafe : so ... gabi got this crazy idea to hire andrew to stalk her . um , but as it turns out , andrew was mentally unstable , obviously , and without my sister 's knowledge or consent , he decided to kidnap melanie . and when my sister found out , she -- she did n't say anything . daniel : [ scoffs ] melanie could 've been killed . she almost was . how could gabi -- rafe : i do not know . daniel : well ... i mean , does melanie know about this ? rafe : yeah . gabi told her . daniel : yeah ? when ? rafe : well , not long before melanie left town . um , nick also knew about it . he was using that information to blackmail my sister ... until she shot him . gabi confessed to all of this , which is why it 's all coming out now . daniel : so that 's why melanie was acting so strange when i talked to her on the phone about gabi . i thought she was upset that her -- her great friend was in prison . i mean , why ... why did n't melanie ever tell me what happened ? rafe : well ... melanie agreed to keep quiet about the whole thing . obviously she never forgave my sister for what she 'd done . daniel : oh , of course not . rafe : listen , i - i 'm really sorry . daniel : it 's -- it 's not really your fault . i mean , you must 've been as shocked as i am ... i mean , more , learning all this on top of finding out your little sister shot nick . yeah , well ... i did n't ... i did n't just find out . after gabi told melanie , she ... she told me . and , uh ... i also encouraged gabi not to tell anyone else . sonny : i keep thinking gabi 's gon na come home . will : me too . sonny : you and i talked about having our own place one day , but ... not like this . will : [ scoffs ] no . her not being here , it 's -- it 's strange . sonny : [ sighs ] i keep on thinking , like , `` who 's gon na tell me when the kardashians break up again ? `` will : i think they already did . sonny : see ? will : [ laughs ] sonny : and who 's gon na watch mystery science theater when i 'm up with ari at 2 : 00 a.m. ? will : me . sonny : who 's gon na bake brownies when we get the midnight munchies ? will : you . sonny : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] will : you know , i think i actually miss her yelling at us for leaving the toilet seat up . [ sniffles ] sonny : we really did have a good thing going , did n't we ? will : hey ... we still do . daniel : you 're a cop . how could you advise gabi not to confess what she had done ? rafe : well , i was protecting my little sister . daniel : well , what about my daughter ? she had to deal with all of this on her own . her friend betrayed her , and sh -- and that 's one of the reasons she left town . she said it was because of chad , but i knew -- i knew there was a reason . rafe : well ... daniel : i knew . rafe : you 're right . she was upset with chad . he did not tell her the truth . and she also ... could n't stand the sight of my sister , so ... daniel : and now that gabi 's in prison ... melanie finally decided that she might come visit . i could never really understand why she had stayed away for so long . you know , if -- if you had just told gabi to come forward , take responsibility for what she had done ... my daughter may have never left in the first place . rafe : yeah . yeah , i get that now . listen , i understand that i made a huge mistake . i understand that if gabi would have paid for what she did then , then ... nick would still be alive . listen , daniel , i am sorry , okay ? i am really sorry that i caused you and melanie all this pain . you 've been a great friend to me . listen , i know that this is a lot to ask , okay ? but if you can find it in your heart to forgive me , uh , i 'll ... daniel : i , um ... i - i do n't think i can talk to you about this . i need to speak with my daughter . rafe : well , i understand . sami : i just do n't understand why stefano would try to freeze you out to make kate happy . nothing makes that woman happy . and i do n't understand what he sees in her anyway . do n't ... answer that . she just wants the power of being the lady of the dimera mansion . now that i 'm in her place , it 's making her crazy . ej : i 'm sure it is . sami : she 's gon na do anything to try to stop us from getting married . and now that she has stefano 's ear , she 's trying to undermine your authority at dimera enterprises . [ sighs ] i swear , e -- speak of the devil . ej : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . where are you going ? sami : i am going to put that bitch in her place . let 's go ! ben : what are you talking about ? you have n't murdered anyone lately , have you ? abigail : no , but ... ben : [ chuckles ] abigail : i 've definitely made my share of terrible mistakes . ben : really ? then i 'm not sure i should be hanging out with you ... because i have never made a single mistake in my entire life . mm - hmm . abigail : [ laughs ] ben : i 'm kind of perfect . have n't you noticed that ? yeah . [ chuckles ] you think that 's funny ? i 'm serious . abigail , i am a perfect person who always does exactly the right thing at exactly the right time . abigail : really ? ben : it 's a curse . really , yeah . hmm . abigail : sounds awful for you . ben : eh ... wait . you believe me , do n't you ? abigail : yes , of course . i totally believe you . ben : good . well , then trust me when i say this is the right thing to do . daniel : no , melanie , melanie , i just wish you would 've confided in me when you found out . no , of course i understand . yeah , sometimes you just got to ... you got to handle things your own way , that 's all . i 'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around it . yeah . i just ca n't believe gabi would do something like that . look , baby , i am so sorry that you had to go through this . i am . no , it is . you know , it 's hard ... when someone you care about , someone you think you know so well ... just ends up disappointing you . [ cell phone ringing ] rafe : [ sighs ] mama . yeah . yeah , the sentencing 's over . well ... mama , yes , i was just about to call you , actually . the judge accepted the plea . well , it 's , uh , 10 to 20 years , with the possibility of parole . well , no , i told you , this -- mama , this is good news . please , please do n't cry . this is the best that we could 've asked for . no , you ca n't talk to her right now . she 's ... she 's already on the way ... to prison . mama , please , please try not to worry . i promise you that i am gon na check on her . i 'm gon na make sure -- i know that i promised you that i would make sure -- mama ? [ sighs ] way to go . sami : kate , i do n't know what game you 're playing ... kate : [ sighs ] sami : but be prepared to lose , just like you always do . kate : this is exactly why stefano should be running his own company before ej runs it into the ground . when stefano has a problem , he takes care of it , unlike his son ... sami : [ scoffs ] kate : who just goes running to sami . sami : i do n't know what you 're talking about . ej : do you really think that i 'm worried about the likes of you , kate ? kate : why do you think that we 're having this conversation ? why do you think sami 's about to explode ? if you do anything to try to stop our wedding ... kate : i do n't give a damn about your wedding ! sami : really ? then why are you going around telling everyone in salem that ej 's making a mistake marrying me ? kate : why do you care so much about what i say ? sami : [ scoffs ] kate : is that because the two of us know that i 'm right ? you know , from my past experience , and i know stefano would agree , there can be only one mrs. dimera in the mansion . and rest assured ... that wo n't be you . sami : [ scoffs ] | ej overheard kate talking about taking control over dimera enterprises . hope wanted to talk to rafe about gabi 's case . sami thought marlena wanted her to be in prison . hope wanted to talk to rafe about the other crime gabi confessed to . sami explained why she helped gabi . marlena wanted sami to take responsibility for her actions . rafe told hope he would tell daniel what gabi did . marlena kept telling sami that she should take responsibility for what she did , but she refused to because it was nick . sami regretted that nick was pulled out of the river before he died . will was upset that sonny did n't tell him what gabi did to melanie . marlena played the message nick left for sami . sami did n't care if nick was going to change . she was still glad that nick was dead . sami ended up leaving the pub . |

[ scene_break ] frankie : so , you 're saying some old surveillance system of tek 's was still in commission ? hope : unfortunately for bo . jennifer : and it caught bo with the dvd in his hand ? hope : no , but it caught him very clearly looking for something in that room . frankie : let 's give bo the benefit of the doubt . we know that he was there on official police business -- hope : frankie , the point is , why did he dismiss the officer guarding the evidence room and why did he disable the surveillance system ? frankie : what ? hope : that was the last thing caught on camera . granted , there was no actual evidence that he destroyed the evidence against chelsea , but there 's no other real explanation . no one else could have done it but bo . jennifer : hope , i am so sorry . hope : [ sighs ] do n't be . frankie , do you have the papers i asked you for , the divorce papers ? frankie : in my briefcase . hope : good . i 'm ready to sign them . jennifer : hope , are you sure ? frankie : you 're emotional . why do n't you give yourself a chance to calm down ? hope : frankie , i 'm calm . i 've made up my mind . i 'm not changing it . please , get the papers . frankie : okay .

rafe : so how 'd that blood get on the tree ? where is he now ? nicole : i do n't know . maybe he is dead . but if he is , it 's kate 's fault , not mine . that video proves that deimos and i fought , but it also proves that she was at the scene of the crime . and she was watching her so - called husband trying to get me into his bed , i doubt she was in her happy place . rafe : probably not . nicole : and another thing . why would i kill deimos ?

i mean , i could really hear the pain in your voice . it just sounded very fresh . chloe : i can sing about it , but i do n't really like to talk about it . excuse me . deimos : oh -- oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , look , um ... i - i did n't mean to bring up any bad feelings or anything . listen , let me buy you a drink , all right ? at least me make it up to you . rafe : yeah , i see what you 're saying . but there 's nothing to back it up . nicole : nothing but kate 's mo . why do n't you ask victor about the time she almost killed him , hm ? rafe : little bit of advice . just be careful of using kate 's past history as an admission of guilt . i mean , your past is n't exactly spotless , you know ? did n't you actually try and kill victor once too ? nicole : i am not that person anymore , rafe . okay , you know what ? everyone knows that victor hates me , so why would he work with me to get deimos if he did n't know that i had changed ? rafe : well , see , there 's another thing right there . you working with victor gives you a motive to kill deimos . nicole : i did n't try to kill him , okay ? i was just trying to get him to give me victor 's money ! rafe : so you were just gon na marry him and then kill him ? nicole : oh , my god . you really think i 'm guilty , do n't you ? kate : [ sighs ] victor : there she is ! mrs. kiriakis , resplendent in her widow 's weeds . kate : what do you want ? victor : well , i can console you on your loss . and to thank you . it 's very comforting to know that before my brother died , he had marital bliss with a warm , compassionate scorpion . i mean , woman . kate : that is so not -- and i repeat , not funny . and do n't say deimos is dead because i have n't given up hope . victor : hope that they find the body so you can avoid probate . kate : you 're so vile . just go away . victor : oh , do n't be like that . why do n't we break out some of that baked funeral meat and negotiate . kate : what ? victor : that 's right , mrs. kiriakis . i am here to make a deal . belle : i do n't know what i had with philip , but i know it was n't love . shawn : i just want to make sure . 'cause i do n't want to fight him ever again for you . so if you 're telling me that there 's any -- any pull in that direction , belle , then i think it would be best if we just ... we go our separate ways . rafe : come on , nicole , i 'm messing with you , okay ? i 'm just point out how this might look to the da , or to a jury , for that matter . nicole : yeah , right , okay . rafe : i promise you i am gon na do whatever it takes to find out exactly what happened that night . nicole : kate is lying . she could n't see me push deimos because i did n't do it . and i want you to go to her and get her to admit that . rafe : [ chuckles ] okay , so that 's why you just stopped by . hm ? you knew if i had information about deimos , i would have contacted you , but you just wanted me to use my history with kate to help you with your case . nicole : is that such a bad thing ? rafe : it 's a pointless thing . roman 's already questioned kate -- more than once , for that matter . and yes , you are right , he does n't exactly trust her , but he does n't think that she 's gon na back down . nicole : rafe , i ca n't just sit and watch as kate tries to destroy my life , all right ? i have to do something . rafe : okay , you know what you should do ? you should calm down . okay , just try and calm down and let the police do their job . nicole : no . no , because i 've seen it so many times . i 've seen what she 's gotten away with , and i 'm gon na stop her , hout your help . rafe : come on , hey -- nicole , come on . do n't -- do n't do anything stupid . kate : at the risk of stating the obvious , you have nothing to deal with . there is nothing you have that i want . victor : so like you , kate . always thinking of money . true , financially , i 'm in reduced circumstances , but i have something to offer you that money ca n't buy . kate : the sun in the morning and the moon at night ? victor : peace of mind . kate : now you 're really grasping at straws . victor : tell me , kate , how was the wedding ? was it lovely ? did you cry ? did you throw the bouquet ? or did you just make it all up after deimos went in the water ? kate : that 's so absurd . victor : it 's classic kate roberts . bold , daring , basically just smoke and mirrors . wo n't hold up to scrutiny . kate : hm . so . this marriage certificate , is this smoke and mirrors ? victor : i see why you did it , kate , but ... is a double - edged sword . kate : [ scoffs ] it 's not forged . victor : oh , you see , this certificate gives you motive . so when deimos washes ashore , it 's no longer gon na be manslaughter . it 's gon na be first - degree murder . and this certificate establishes premeditation . you really did n't think this through . like the time you tried to usher chloe into the afterlife and blame it on daniel ? that time , you ended up married to stefano . course , he knew how to fix your mess . shame he 's not still here . kate : if deimos is dead -- if -- then nicole walker is going to be the one facing murder charges because i have video of her fighting with him before we went into the river . victor : [ clears throat ] and why did you stop filming ? kate : because i dropped my phone . victor : no , because you dropped the ball . that video does establish the fact that nicole and deimos were fighting , but it also is incontrovertible truth that you were there , and you were so angry and outraged , you started filming your so - called husband coming on to another woman . shades of medea , do n't you think ? you sure are in need of another aegeus . he 's a fixer . somebody that cleans other people 's big mess . so when i go to roman , and i will go to roman , whose side do you want me on ? nicole 's or yours ? lisa : [ moaning ] [ giggling ] philip : [ panting ] lisa : [ giggling ] philip : belle ... i want you so much . lisa : what did you just say ? belle : i hope caroline was n't offended that we took our food to go . shawn : i 'll make it up to her . you and i , we need to talk , and we ca n't really do that with her popping in every five minutes . at least here , we 're not gon na be interrupted -- nicole : belle . just the person i was looking for . shawn : does she have you on a gps ? nicole : we need to come up with a strategy . belle : listen , you can come to me office first thing tomorrow -- nicole : kate is lying , like she always lies . shawn : i ca n't talk to you about the case , nicole . nicole : a woman has accused me of killing a man , and you two are blowing me off ? both : not now , nicole . nicole : well , at least i know whose side you 're on . belle : [ sighs ] well . good to know we 're on the same page about some things . shawn : mm - hmm . well , now that we got rid of nicole , are you hungry ? belle : i am starving . shawn : good , perfect . [ thunder rumbling ] [ rain pattering ] [ somber music ] chloe : i 'm sorry . i have kind of a policy . deimos : no , no , no . just a drink , i promise . look , it was such an amazing set . let me at least say thank you . chloe : well , maybe just one . deimos : excellent . my name 's robert , by the way . robert tasso . chloe : nice to meet you , robert ; i 'm chloe . deimos : i know . your name is on the poster outside . chloe : oh , yeah . deimos : so are you from chicago ? did you grow up listening to jazz or what ? chloe : no , actually , i mainly listen to opera . and i 'm from a small town a couple hours away from here -- salem . deimos : really ? chloe : mm - hmm . deimos : do you happen to know the kiriakis family ? chloe : it 's a small town . deimos : so you know them , and you do n't like them ? chloe : i did n't say that . deimos : well , one of them you do n't like . see , i 'm a business consultant and i 've done some work with titan industries . i had some dealing with victor kiriakis and his son , um ... chloe : philip . deimos : right , philip . so is he the one you do n't like ? chloe : no , actually , he 's one of my closest friends . deimos : wow . wow , what a crazy coincidence . kate : i wanted love . same way you wanted nicole to love you . [ chuckles ] 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 : then i guess we really do deserve each other , do n't we ? so what are you saying , that we should get on that flight to vegas after all , huh ? i mean , it 's flashy , sexy , superficial . and at it 's heart , it 's all about money , right ? i 'm sure you 'll be right at home . kate : you go to hell ! [ splash ] chloe : hey , are you all right ? deimos : uh , yeah . yeah , it was just ... was having a bad dream . chloe : here , some tea . deimos : yeah . [ panting ] thanks . chloe : so i was thinking about when we met in chicago . you said that you heard pain in my voice . deimos : yeah . i think i was getting too personal . chloe : no , it 's okay . i had just broken up with this guy and i did n't feel like talking about it . but you were so nice to me , so friendly . it 's just what i needed . deimos : i remember that night really well . chloe : do you remember telling me that you had worked with philip kiriakis ? deimos : yeah . yeah , that 's right . chloe : well , it 's funny because when i mentioned you to him , he did n't seem to remember you . deimos : oh , he remembers me , all right . by a different name . chloe : what ? i told you me your name was robert tasso . deimos : but my real name is deimos . deimos kiriakis . i 'm victor 's brother . philip 's uncle . chloe : well , i was planning on it until you called me belle . look , i 'm not really into rebound sex . philip : i called you bella . that 's italian for beautiful . lisa : nice try . philip : come on ! i know your name ... laura . look , i came back here with you because i thought we made a connection . we did . lisa : no , you were thinking about someone else . i was n't looking for long - term commitment , but i did want it to be about me . philip : i know . i 'm sorry . lisa : so am i . philip : [ exhales forcefully ] [ panting ] belle : well , there was an upside to all of those interruptions . gave me some time to think of a answer to your question . i do n't want to be with philip . i want to be with you and only you . shawn : i like your answer . belle : but i do think we should take it day by day . shawn : i agree . we need to work at making this work , and if it does n't then ... just have to accept that it 's over . belle : right . shawn : seems like the smart and mature way to proceed . and you know us , g the smart and mature choices . deimos : i 'm sure roman if i shared my concerns about nicole when i heard her saying things like how much she hated deimos for what he was doing to maggie . and then saying stuff like , `` after deimos is gone ... `` kate : so what would you expect from me in return ? victor : what do you think ? i want all my stuff back . all of it . kate : in your dreams . victor : mm . well , i could also tell him that i question the validity of this marriage certificate . better yet , i could say you came to me and asked for help in getting it . kate : and that would be a lie . victor : i lie for you , i lie for nicole . it 's your choice . kate : no . because it leaves me with nothing . victor : ah , finally , now we 're negotiating . you can keep the money . and you can keep this house . you sign titan over to me and i guarantee you that nicole will fry . chloe : i do n't understand . why did you lie about your name ? deimos : because i did n't want anyone , especially my family , to know that i was in the states , heading to salem . chloe : i 've known philip for a very long time , and he 's never mentioned anything about having an uncle deimos . deimos : that would be because victor never talked about me . it 's not like we got along . chloe : so if you did n't know philip , then why would you lie to me and say you did ? deimos : chloe ... i 'm sorry . but i used you . i knew who you were from the moment i stepped into that bar . chloe : okay , i think now would be a really good time for you to tell me what the hell is going on here . deimos : chloe , there 's no reason for you to be afraid . i 'm no danger to you , i promise you . chloe : how am i supposed to know that ? you 've been lying to me from the moment i met you . deimos : just ... please listen . okay ? i really need your help . chloe : need my help ? how ? why ? deimos : because someone tried to kill me tonight . belle : thanks for walking me home . i had a good time tonight . shawn : me too . belle : go ! [ laughing ] [ phone ringing ] philip : why are you calling ? i know all about what happened to deimos , and i could n't care less . nothing 's changed between us . kate : look , i know that you 're angry , but i need to talk to you . it 's very urgent . i need you to be at the mansion the first thing in the morning . [ phone line trilling ] nicole : hey , dario , it 's me . could you meet me for a drink ? i could really use a friend right now . chloe : i do n't know what to say . deimos : i 'm sorry i lied to you when we first met , and i swear to you , i am telling you the whole truth right here and now . chloe : well , if you are telling the truth and some did try to kill you , then we need to call the police right now . deimos : no , do n't ! all right . all right , look . just ... please .

[ scene_break ] shawn d. : i think i know why mimi 's pleading guilty . how many times has it been that jan has lied to us and blackmailed us ? she must be holding something over her head , and we can not let her get away with it , rex . rex : yeah , but , shawn , mimi already pled guilty . she 's being sentenced on what would have been our wedding day . shawn d. : are you giving up ? is that what i 'm hearing ? rex : what else am i supposed to do , shawn ? shawn d. : anything you can to make mimi take back her guilty plea . rex : i tried , okay ? shawn d. : well , try harder . look , when we were trying to rescue philip , you told me how many times you could not wait to get back and marry mimi and be happy for the rest of your life . that was your dream , man . well , hold on to it . just like i 'm trying to hold on to the dream that belle and i have to spend our lives together . it 's just that right now i 'm afraid of losing her . rex : i hate to say this to you , man , but if belle does the right thing , okay -- and knowing her , she will -- you just might .

[ scene_break ] marlena : mimi , if you really love rex ... mimi : i do -- more than anything . marlena : ... then you owe it to him to tell him the truth , and you owe it to yourself to have the relief you will feel once you 've done that . mimi : i know you 're a very smart woman , and you know what you 're talking about , but i 've also heard that sometimes if the truth would really hurt someone , then sometimes it 's better to keep it a secret . i 'm not being selfish . i 'm trying to protect rex . it 's because i love him so much that i do n't want him to know the truth . can you be honest with me ? is it always best to tell the truth ? i mean , in your own experience -- i 'm sorry . i 'm not prying , but , you know , you 've been married . marlena : yes , i have been married several times . mimi : right , so is n't it sometimes better to keep a secret from someone you love just to protect them ? [ scene_break ] brady : you know , lucas , i never thought i 'd be saying this , but i think you 're right . i mean , even if there 's the slightest chance that chloe is alive , i should be out there looking for her . lucas : that 's all i 'm saying , man . just do n't give up . brady : i got to find out why she has n't come to me yet . lucas : i 'd ask nicole about that if i were you . brady : i just ca n't believe that nicole would know the truth and keep it a secret from me , you know ? lucas : she 's no stranger at keeping secrets . she was paid $ 5 million to marry me . she kept that secret for years . brady : yeah , but nicole and i have gotten really close , and , see , if chloe 's not alive and we can be together , then ... lucas : wait a minute . nicole is no substitute for chloe . come on , man . chloe 's classy . brady : no , not substitute , but i just feel like i bring out the best in nicole , you know ? she tells me i do . lucas : because you 're loaded , and she 's used to the highlife . i 'm telling you , m i 'm sorry . it 's hard for me to believe that sami has anything to do with working for tony . you know , i mean , that 's going too far , even for sami . brady : going too far is sami 's favorite way of getting exactly what she wants . [ scene_break ] sami : you did n't think i 'd let you run right over me without squealing , did you , nicole ? i mean , exactly how long have you been lying to brady about chloe being alive ? nicole : you have no proof of that . sami : and it 's not even the worst part . i would never do what you did to chloe . sabotaging her reconstructive surgery , making sure that she 'll never have a normal face again . do you realize how sick that is ? nicole : you put me up to it . or , rather , stan did . i just made sure that they used infected instruments during her surgery . it 's not like i took the knife to her myself . sami : oh , sure . brady will really understand that . are you kidding ? he 'll never want to look at you again . you 'll be lucky he does n't throw you in jail . nicole : you have a lot more to lose if lucas finds out you were stan . you almost had him killed , along with all his buddies . you know what , sami ? i see hard time for you -- not wedding bells , just one bell a day to let you know it 's time to leave your cell for a half an hour of supervised recreation , where you better watch your back . you know , it 's gon na be really fun for you , sami . sami : well , it seems like we 're at an impasse , because if i go down , i 'm taking you with me . and that is a promise i mean , nicole . if you breathe one word to lucas about the whole stan thing , you 're gon na be in that cell next to me .

'cause you know i 'm right . she never did give us a believable explanation about what she was doing there . she was tony 's ally . it 's the only thing that makes sense . lucas : what are you talking about ? this is the mother of my son . brady : but she did n't tell you for two years that you were will 's father . and that part of her -- the bitch that would do that to a man -- that 's not gone , lucas . she is not reformed . lucas : what do you want me to do , huh ? you blaming me ? blaming me 'cause i do n't want to believe that the woman i once loved is capable of such treachery ? brady : look , i know it 's hard to comprehend , okay ? i mean , look at her parents , marlena and roman . but she did n't grow up with them , lucas . i guess the apple fell a long way from the tree . lucas : yeah , well , what about nicole ? her dad was scum , man . he did whatever he had to do to make sure she turned out the exact same way . she 'd do anything to get what she wants , and right now , she wants you . so i 'm gon na say it for the last time -- if you trust her , you could regret it for the rest of your life . brady : that goes double for sami . speaking of them , i have n't seen them in a while . where the hell are they ? [ scene_break ] nicole : do not threaten me , sami . if lucas finds out what you 've done , you 're dead . sami : well , he 's not gon na find out , is he , nicole ? because you 're not gon na tell him . if you 're stupid enough to do that , i 'll have to tell brady what you did to chloe . you know , i still ca n't believe you actually did that . it 's so evil . nicole : oh , like i said , you put me up to it , stan . sami : i did n't think you 'd really do it . you could have said no , and you did n't . nicole : okay . okay , we 've got a stalemate . nobody can ever find out what we 've done . and i sure as hell ca n't let brady find chloe , 'cause if he does , i might as well be dead .

[ chuckles ] good - bye , dear . all the best , hmm ? serena : thank you . what are you doing here ? xander : guess . nicole : `` the national records of scotland holds many records relating to crime and criminals . `` all right . let 's see , alexandros ... kiriakis . i ca n't believe it . pay dirt ! okay , `` the crown office v. alexandros kiriakis . `` i need a password . of course , i need a password . how am i gon na get that ? okay , let 's see here . `` the defendant 's attorney : the law firm of connery , moore , and dalton . `` hi , i need an international operator . great . yes , can you connect me to the crown office in glasgow ? daniel : how was serena using melanie and me ? eric : over the past couple of months , serena kept coming up with reasons to spend time here . daniel : yeah , makes sense , does n't it ? melanie was her only friend . eric : right , but ... listen . do you remember seeing anything odd about her ? daniel : the only thing i can think of is , more than once , she left things here . i just remember thinking , for a journalist , she was pretty forgetful . eric : so she could come back inside and get them . was she ever here alone ? daniel : eh , once that i know of . or so she thought -- nicole was here , and then she and nicole went at it . eric : right , right , right , i remember . daniel : okay , what is this all about ? eric : listen , i do n't want to get into details just yet -- daniel : look , i 'm just not trying to gossip , i 'm just trying to help -- eric : listen , i know , but there is one thing you can do for me . daniel : name it . eric : do you remember the elephant statue i gave parker ? can i see it , and the compartment you found inside of it ? daniel : yeah , yeah . this is it , right here , and that is the compartment . eric : whatever was inside of it could n't have been that big . daniel : oh , do you think she talked her way in here to find that statue and whatever was in it ? why ? man , i do n't mean to pry . i just want to know how serena fits into this . serena : i 'm not playing your mind games . tell me why you 're here . xander : today 's the day i start tying up all the loose ends in my life . every one of them . starting with you . eric : i do n't want to speculate about serena . daniel : okay , i get that . eric : listen , can i keep this ? daniel : yeah , sure , parker 's into action figures now . look , i know you do n't want to talk about this , but dealing with this alone is n't the best idea . eric : listen , i honestly do n't want to discuss this with you . respect that , please . daniel , the only reason i brought this up to you is because you 're my good friend . daniel : but we 'll keep in touch ? eric : absolutely . daniel : all right . eric : thanks . daniel : yeah , yeah . xander : yuck . i hate coconut . serena : what do you want with me ? xander : you act like i 'm gon na hurt you or something . i just came to say good- bye . you are still going , right , even without the good father ? serena : and , xander ... eric does n't know anything about the diamonds . he does n't know anything that could come back on you . i made sure of that . xander : i guess keeping things from him did n't work out very well for you , huh ? serena : no . but he still has no idea what i 've done for you . xander : then why do you look so worried ? serena : i 'm not worried , xander . i am trying to keep myself from throwing things at you . i did everything that you wanted me to do and still you sent that picture of us to me . you 've ruined everything with me and eric . xander : you 'll bounce back . you did last time eric dumped you , right ? you bounced right into the sack with me . serena : you 're disgusting . xander : come on , serena . we both know what you are . there 's no way you 'd ever be satisfied with a guy like eric . you need a real man . serena : you would n't happen to know where any real men are , would you ? xander : [ chuckles ] i do not ... i do not like being insulted by a woman . serena : what woman has got you so mad ? 'cause we both know it 's not me . it 's nicole , is n't it ? nicole : ( scottish accent ) this is miss brodie . sorry , i did n't get the name . nicole : brodie . i 'm a paralegal , from the law firm of connery , moore , and dalton . i seem to be having a bit of a problem here . i 'm having trouble understanding you . what part of scotland are you from ? nicole : what part ? i spent a bit of time in the states . my mother 's american . oh , i see . i just got back from new york myself . nicole : ah , new yorkers . they 're a cheeky lot . that 's the god 's honest truth . what can i help you with , miss brodie ? nicole : well , my boss , mr. connery , he 's in court right now , he just rang . he needs me to look up a case to give to the judge as a precedent . what case was it ? nicole : ah , `` the crown office v. alexandros kiriakis . `` i can spell the name if you need it . mr. connery was the lead defense lawyer . i 'm looking for it right now . you know , i used to work for angus dalton at your office . nicole : oh , really ? a nasty article , that one . nicole : i 'm terrified of the man . i just started today , and i 'm afraid if i do n't get access to the case , it 'll be my last . i told you , it 's right there . nicole : but i need a password . your office can give you that . nicole : they already did . i was so nervous i did n't write it down , and i know you 're not supposed to give it out over the phone . i have three wee bairns to feed . i really need this job . give me an email address , and i 'll send it to you . nicole : oh , thank you . it 's nicole @ zipmail.com . your server 's in the states ? nicole : i - i went to college there . i never met a nicole brodie before . nicole : the name was my mother 's idea . there , i just sent it . nicole : i owe you my life . thank you . my three wee bairns thank you , too . `` wee bairns `` ? what movie is that from ? oh ... there it is . okay , please let this work . i 'm in ! it 's true . xander was charged with murder , but the sentence was reduced to `` culpable homicide `` ? well , how much time did he get ? what ? that 's it ? for killing someone ? why ? oh ... oh , my god . maggie : i do n't understand , victor . xander 's your late brother 's son . victor : he 's no good . he 's worn out his welcome here and he knows it . he 's leaving town . maggie : well , i know there 's a lot that you 're not telling me , but i 'm gon na let it go . victor : good . the sooner we forget about xander , the better . maggie : brady called . the official word from the doctor : the baby 's coming home tomorrow . is that why you 're so down ? victor : no , it 's not the baby . just ca n't get over the fact that theresa donovan is gon na be the mother of a kiriakis . maggie : i know . melanie 's all alone , and theresa 's a part of the family . it just is n't right . victor : well , mark my word , theresa 's not gon na be satisfied with just getting rid of melanie . maggie : what kind of a mother is she going to be ? victor : [ chuckles ] mother from hell . she 's going to use that baby to suck every dollar she can out of brady , and suck the life out of him in the process . brady : is this all you 've -- is this all you 've done ? theresa : yeah , well -- i mean , i 've ordered a couple more things online that have n't arrived yet . and you know what ? i 've been at the hospital a lot too , in case it slipped your mind . brady : theresa , there is no way that you 're ready to take care of an infant here . theresa : yeah , i know that , brady , but i did n't have nine months to prepare , okay ? i had -- i did n't get to read books . i did n't have a baby shower . and in case you forgot , your psycho ex - girlfriend had my baby taken out of me . brady : i did n't -- i did n't forget , all right ? i know . i do n't like it any more than you do . theresa : you know what ? i have to do this all on my own . okay , i do n't have some staff that i can just order around to help me set up a nursery the way you can . i mean -- what -- tate 's not even gon na have his own room here . i know that that 's not what you 're used to , okay ? and i 'm sure that you do n't want your son living in a dump like this , but ... i just -- i know . even part - time , this is just horrible . brady : what do you want ? theresa : do you remember how you said that i could move into your grandfather victor 's house ? look , i 'm not thrilled about it , okay , but i suppose that i could put up with it for tate 's sake . i mean , maybe it 's best for our son if we 're in the same place . brady : i 'm sorry . it 's never gon na happen . theresa : i - i do n't understand . you said -- brady : i know what i said . i made that offer when things were different , all right ? theresa : you mean when melanie was still in the picture . brady : i thought it over , theresa . there 's no way you 're gon na be able to live in my grandfather 's house . he 's not gon na put up with that . and maggie will back him up , and i think you know why . theresa : but he 's your kid , brady . i mean , yes , i get that victor and maggie are his great - grandparents , but i 'm sure that they would suck it up and learn to deal with it if that 's really what you wanted . brady : listen to me . do you really want to sit in that living room and have to stare at that fireplace poker that you used to try to kill my father with , hmm ? i did n't think so . theresa , make no mistake . do not use my son to try to get what you want from me . is that clear ? theresa : yeah . crystal clear . brady : there are plenty of parents who share custody that do n't live together . my suggestion to you is that you get a bigger place . you need a bigger apartment , someplace with a yard , so tate can also have his own room . now if you need help with the rent , i 'm more than happy to do that , but i want approval of the place . i 'm more than happy to help you with a nanny and babysitters , 'cause frankly , the thought of you alone with my son scares the hell out of me . but make no mistake as well , every cent that i give you is going towards my son . theresa : how dare you make this about money ? brady : it 's always been about money with you , donovan ! theresa : i have a job , remember ? okay , so if i need financial help , i can get it from my mom and dad , thanks . brady : fine , you do that . listen , okay , so we 're gon na have to talk to the pediatrician about what tate 's needs are , medically , here at home , okay ? we 're also gon na have to go to the hospital and pick him up . we 're gon na see each other then . other than that , i think we can communicate through email . i think that 's fine . theresa : email ? brady : unless there 's some kind of emergency . so now that that 's covered , you and i need to shift our focus on how we , two people that ca n't stand each other , are going to successfully share custody of a child . maggie : i do n't like theresa any better than you do , but for the baby 's sake , i think we ought to ask brady how he wants us to treat her . victor : being able to draw strength and clarity from being such a loving woman . maggie : sometimes it 's a drag . i know how much you love brady , and i know how hard it is for you to let brady fight his own battles . victor : well , i promised to take care of him . maggie : yeah , but he can take care of himself now , victor . you have to let him do it . victor : all right , all right . maggie : but i do want you to know how impressed i am by the fact that you would do anything to take care of a member of your family . nicole : well , i 'll be damned . xander 's sentence was reduced due to the influence of a letter from a friend of the court . his uncle , victor kiriakis . since when is victor kiriakis a friend of any court ? so if victor helped him , that means victor knows what xander 's all about . damn . [ cell phone rings ] nicole : oh ! [ groans ] oh ... daniel , hi . daniel : hey , i 'm off - duty and chloe has parker , so if you want to talk , tonight is a good night . what do you say ? nicole : i say yes . i 'm dying to see you . daniel : i have to drop a baby gift off for brady 's son , but then i 'll pick you up , or do you want to -- want to meet me here ? nicole : well , i can meet you at victor 's place . daniel : really ? nicole : yeah , i have a baby gift , too . i can be there in an hour . daniel : you sure you can face victor ? nicole : actually , i 'm kind of looking forward to it . daniel : you know what i 'm looking forward to ? clearing the air . nicole : i know , i have a lot of explaining to do , and i will , the minute i see you at victor 's . daniel : do n't make me wait . nicole : i would n't think of it . i ca n't believe it . everything 's finally going my way . xander : you think i give a damn what nicole thinks ? serena : yeah , i do . xander : no , i 'm done with her . serena : really ? not getting that . xander : you were right . she was playing me , and even if she was n't , what do i want with daniel jonas 's used merchandise ? serena : wow , that 's a real 180 . xander : i do n't have to explain myself to you or anybody else . my business is done in this town . i , too , am leaving salem , so this is good - bye , but who knows ? maybe our paths will cross again . serena : right . in hell . xander : it 's good to see you finally admit that down deep , you 're a very naughty girl . oh , just so you know ... you and eric have nothing to fear from me , as long as you keep your mouths shut . serena : [ exhales ] oh , my god . okay . well , at least that bastard 's out of my life . i can -- [ knock at door ] serena : god , i do n't believe him . dammit , xander , what more do you want ? eric : lovers ' quarrel ? brady : look , i 'm sure we can work out when we each get to see tate . the problem is gon na be the picking up and dropping off . theresa : how is that a problem ? brady : because i want everything arranged in advance . no surprises . theresa : i guess these arrangements will be done by email , too ? brady : i think that 'd be best , yeah . theresa : so ... basically you want to see me as little as possible , and maybe not at all ? brady : hopefully , yeah . theresa : so that 's how this is gon na go ? brady : that is how this is gon na go . maggie : i know how much you miss melanie -- just as much as i do -- but in spite of it all , you seem better . happier ? daniel : yeah , nicole and i , you know , we 're working it out . maggie : [ laughs ] victor : somebody tell me i 'm hearing things . serena : please ... come in . eric : not if you 're expecting xander . serena : no , i 'm not expecting him . i never want to lay eyes on him . eric : could you not lie to me again ? i just saw him leaving and i heard you call his name . serena : i 'm not -- i 'm not lying . he showed up here uninvited . i was afraid that he might have come back . look , i know how disgusted you are about me and him . it 's over . it 's been over for a really long time . there 's nothing else to talk about . eric : oh , really ? well , maybe we can talk about this . you actually do n't have to say anything because i figured it all out . serena : well , unfortunately , there 's no time . i have to leave to catch a flight . eric : yeah ? well , you 're gon na have to call the cops to get rid of me . you may not have any interest in what i have to say , but i think my dad will be . nicole : i know xander 's probably still having me followed . but who cares ? let whoever it is try to get past the front door at victor 's . sally : it 's quitting time , girl . what are you still doing in here ? nicole : oh , just finishing up some research . sally : better pack it in . you 're about the last one left in the building . and be careful when you leave . something knocked out the lights at the front entrance . navidad : the power to the front entrance of the tv station is out . xander : what about the security guard ? navidad : i put something in his sandwich . he wo n't be a problem . xander : is nicole still there ? she told me she 'd be working late . navidad : she 's still there . xander : good . daddy gator could n't push the throttle theresa : so , you and me , never speaking , not even trying to see each other , not even trying to get along , you really think that 's what 's best for the baby ? brady : no , it 's not ideal , theresa , it 's not . but nothing about this situation is ideal . i 'm actually doing this for you . theresa : what ? how is not speaking to me best for me ? how are you doing that for me ? brady : i do n't think it 's a good idea for tate ... to know that i think his mother is the lowest form of humanity . theresa : you know what ? being a mother , it 's really changed me . brady : i hope so . it had better , 'cause this is not a game anymore , theresa . there 's a little , tiny baby involved now . you understand that ? theresa : yes , and we can make this work , okay ? it does n't have to be tense . brady : we ca n't -- that 's not gon na work . i 'm tense right now , right in front of you . i want to strangle you . and kids pick up on those things . they 're like sponges . i 'm doing what i think is best for my son , period . theresa : no . this is about melanie leaving , is n't it ? brady : you 're damn right it is . sally : everybody has to go out the back way until the power comes back on . nicole : why ? there 's a security guard out there . sally : he got sick and had to leave early . you want me to wait for you ? we can get a drink . nicole : oh , thanks , but i have a date . sally : okay . see you tomorrow . nicole : sure . and hopefully by then , things will be a lot different . maggie : i 'm gon na take this up to the baby 's room . you ought to see it . it 's so beautiful ! victor : she 's knocked herself out getting it ready . did n't even have time for lunch . maggie : i 'm fine . daniel : okay , you do n't have to leave , 'cause i 'm -- maggie : oh , yes , i do . you two , talk . victor : there is something i want to say to you . daniel : i 'm sure there is . victor : you know that i love you and i only want what 's best for you . daniel : okay , victor -- victor : just hear me out . my plate is already full , getting used to the idea that theresa 's in my life , so if you want to be with nicole , you 're not going to have any problem with me . daniel : not exactly giving us your blessing , but i 'll settle for it anyway . and you 'll have the opportunity to tell nicole the same thing , because she is meeting me right here . victor : no . thank god i 've got a meeting i 'm already late for . there is something , though , that i want to discuss with you , and i 'd rather do it before nicole gets here . daniel : what is it ? victor : xander . eric : i know what you and xander were up to . it was this . serena : eric , i told you last night , i do n't know anything . eric : no , serena , let me tell you what i know , because i remembered something . when you showed up in salem , and you walked into the pub , you said you wanted to talk to me privately ... at my apartment ! but it was n't about being alone with me . it was about this . from day one , it 's always been about getting your hands on this . serena : no , that 's not true . eric : and all that time you showed interest in my african artifacts that i collected was about this , too . you told me you lost yours in the move . you told me nicole was lying when she said she saw you holding two elephant statues in your hand . serena : are you gon na take nicole 's word over mine ? eric : yes , i am . she has n't been lying to me like you have . that 's why you came here , to swap these two out , but what happened , huh ? did you accidentally grab the wrong one before you left africa ? you were pretty desperate to get your hands back on it , because you even slept with me . serena : eric , do n't , do n't -- eric : and then when you found out that it was at daniel 's apartment , you came up with every reason in the book to go there ! it was so obvious . i do n't know why i did n't catch on to it . but it looks like you came and got what you wanted , and i think i deserve to know what that was ! you think she bailed ? she did n't bail and you used our theresa : i knew you 'd blame me because melanie bailed . brady : bailed ? you think she bailed ? she did n't bail and you used our baby to force her out of my life ! theresa : i did n't tell her to take off . brady : yes , you did , theresa ! and now you get to deal with the fact that i 'm never gon na forgive you for it . theresa : okay , brady , i get that you 're mad -- brady : mad ? you think i 'm mad ? `` mad `` does n't even scratch the surface , okay ? i 'm doing what i 'm doing because i do n't want my son to know that the sight of his mother disgusts me . i 'm gon na go spend some time with my son . i hope you have the decency not to come by the hospital until i 'm gone . theresa : ugh ! eric : you certainly do n't have to tell me ... because i figured it out . i mean , it took me a while , but i did . you know , then it hit me . it 's too small for drugs or cash , but then i realized that you and xander , you worked together in the congo , and that there were certain people who became very , very rich trading in blood diamonds . oh , serena , please tell me . so what does xander do with the diamonds , serena ? does he finance an insurgency ? a warlord 's bloodbath ? listen , it looks like you got what you came for , so i think i deserve to know why you used me ! serena : i love you . i love you . i never stopped loving you . that is why i ca n't explain any of this to you . eric : i have a right to understand . serena : if i make you understand ... you 'll end up dead . victor : xander 's leaving salem . daniel : when ? victor : maybe tonight . daniel : so you 're saying , after tonight ... victor : no one will have to worry about xander cook in this town again . nicole : [ gasps ] | theresa agreed to stay in salem . she wanted a new beginning for her and brady , but he had a different idea . he said he was done with her . they ended up arguing . victor told maggie that he did n't want xander in the mansion . xander wanted to meet nicole and she agreed . brady agreed to go to theresa 's place to talk about tate . nicole investigated xander 's criminal record . eric questioned daniel about serena . xander went to see serena to tie up loose ends . serena realized that xander was mad at nicole . nicole found out xander was charged with murder , but did n't spend much time in prison . she realized why he did n't spend time in prison . theresa suggested moving in the kiriakis mansion , but brady did n't want her to move in with him . |

[ dramatic music ] [ receiver trills ] aiden : hi . hope : yes . aiden : yes ? hope : yes , i accept . aiden : perfect . i will be waiting . rafe : well , you look safe enough . blanca : see , just like you , i can take care of myself . this is a beautiful plaza . rafe : yeah , guess it is . blanca : yeah , it is . it 's so nice to walk around and not kick up the dust . very different from my home . yeah . hey , look at this . look how many things to do on a wednesday night . rafe : oh , so you 're sticking around ? blanca : yeah , why not ? rafe : 'cause you were tricked into coming here ? blanca : yeah , but that does n't change this . look , four art classes , two new documentaries , and five places to go dancing on a wednesday . rafe : wow , on a wednesday . you 're right , this place is happening , huh ? blanca : yeah , it is . rafe : yeah . blanca : so , tell me about this tom and alice horton . they are the patron saints of salem ? rafe : yeah , exactly . they are the patron saints . in fact , their family , well , they go way back and -- eduardo : oh , hey . rafe : hi . hey , eduardo . hey , have you met blanca ? eduardo : no , but i 've heard about you , blanca . you 're adriana 's friend , right ? blanca : yeah . eduardo : eduardo , mucho gusto . blanca : el gusto es mio . eduardo : bueno . that 's excellent . yeah , so , uh , adriana needed some help with the house . rafe : yeah , that 's her story . she 's sticking with it . eduardo : you have to admire the tenacity . blanca : i do n't mind . rafe : you should . she wasted your time coming down here . roman : nicole said this to you ? victor : well , not in so many words . of course i could n't get involved with something like that . roman : of course not . so nicole comes to you with this idea , why ? victor : she 's got a soft spot for maggie , daniel 's mother . she wanted to help . roman : and she needed your help with this plan ? victor : well , she would have sooner or later . i 'm sure deimos has moved money around in places where it 's hard to trace . roman : okay , so -- victor : now we know where to look . roman : so nicole is offering you a percent ? victor : i assume . we never got into it . i cut her off . told her to stay away from my brother . roman : wait a minute . i would think those two would be a perfect match in your eye . no love lost all around . victor : well , deimos and i were starting to reconcile . roman : really ? victor : i was still very tentative , but i was ready to make peace . i 'm getting too old for this operatic war in the family . i 'm content to just retire in a peaceful place and take care of my wife . roman : okay , victor . so you were talking to deimos before he disappeared . did he tell you he was marrying kate ? victor : he said they were serious . roman : victor , you do realize if this marriage is legit , kate inherits everything . victor : let her have it . roman : let me get this straight . okay ? your company , your fortune , your house , your prize rose beds , none of that matters now ? victor : compared to my wife ? no . all i want is justice for deimos . if nicole killed him , i want her to pay . in the meantime , if i can help in any way , just let me know . nicole : so you checked everything up there ? dario : yeah , i checked everything . there 's nothing there . nicole : oh , i hate when that happens . so where would kate hide something ? dario : the better question is , what would she be hiding ? nicole : well , if this is a scam , and kate is trying to get her hands on the kiriakis money , there 's got to be some paper trail . i mean , now there 's got to be some paper trail . what , this insta - wedding ? where 's the paper on that ? dario : yeah , but you said she was lying , so there 's no marriage document . nicole : no , but she convinced roman and the cops which means she had to make up some kind of marriage certificate , but she 's scrambling , 'cause i do n't think she actually had any of this planned . dario : so they did n't get married ? nicole : no . no . not the way deimos was with me . dario : right , there 's no way he would lie to you to get you in the sack . nicole : it was n't like that . dario : okay . nicole , this guy would say or do whatever it takes to get what he wants . eduardo : hey . adriana : what , you do n't knock anymore ? eduardo : i knew you were alone . i just ran into rafe at the square with blanca . adriana : they were together ? that 's good . eduardo : they are so onto you , woman . you need to , like , slow down a little bit and let rafael find his own way . adriana : yeah , you do n't see him mope around the house . our son is a good catch . he 's a handsome , smart , caring man who deserves someone who loves him and respects him . that hope woman , she broke his heart , and now she 's off with some shady man that should be dead , and he 's a good buddy . eduardo : well , whether or not the shady man should be dead , rafe can handle it . adriana : you do n't know . eduardo : because i was n't around , right ? adriana : who said that ? eduardo : that 's -- every time you say , `` i do n't know , `` you mean because i was n't there . adriana : no , no , no . i mean because you 're a man . you do n't know . men do n't know . eduardo : oh , okay . yeah , well , thank you . adriana : for what ? you feel bad enough already . why make it worse ? oh . what are you staring at ? eduardo : first woman i ever loved . as beautiful now as you were the first night i laid eyes on you . adriana : and you 're still too fast with words . eduardo : first man you ever loved . adriana : did i tell you that ? eduardo : am i the last ? all those years ? adriana : not the last . or the first . you 're the only man i ever loved . no one could ever take that place . [ knocking at door ] roman : hey . abe : hey . so , do we have anything from the search ? roman : well , they covered the grid . upstream and downstream . divers covered all the search area . we got nothing . no body . abe : what 's your gut ? roman : who the hell knows ? you know , people think that river is so treacherous , but we 've seen survivors come out of there before . more than once . and that 's assuming that deimos even went into the water . abe : but you think he did n't . roman : at this point , i think it 's an even bet that deimos could just stroll back into town at any minute , get all of those close to that man insist he was murdered . abe : based on what ? roman : exactly . yet they all want to hang this on nicole walker . i 'm telling you , abe , i have never seen so many people want a man dead since stefano was alive . [ jazzy piano music ] aiden : wow . hope : as instructed , my , uh , best dress . aiden : could have worn a t - shirt . you would have been the most beautiful woman here . our table . hope : yeah . aiden : yeah . here . hope : thank you . aiden : yeah . hope : oh . aiden : uh ... chianti ? hope : do we dare even try ? aiden : i think i 'm ready this time . this is a complete first date do - over , okay ? except for the chicago part , of course . hope : and the , uh , good old kitchen fire . aiden : yeah , that part too . hope : so what 's left ? aiden : the perfect date . and that ... is you . adriana : the children could come back any minute . eduardo : our grown - up children , you mean ? i think they can take it . adriana : not dario . eduardo : i got to go ? adriana : uh , no , you do n't have to leave . just -- just stay over there . over there . and , uh , tell me about the threats . eduardo : what ? adriana : did you get another message ? eduardo : no , no . no , i did n't . i do n't think it 's a real threat . adriana : how do you know ? eduardo : you just get a feel for it . i would like it to be done . i think i know how to make that happen . roman : so it seems that victor and deimos were in the midst of this very touchy reunion , and nicole robbed them of that time together . abe : yeah . yeah , that whole nicole plot , it 's a pretty thin story . roman : mm - hmm . abe : so what do you think ? roman : i do n't know yet . but kate says she saw nicole push deimos into that river . and now , victor 's piling on . abe : well , maybe they need to throw suspicion on someone else . roman : you know what ? that could be . abe : roman , who wins if deimos is dead ? roman : ah , you 're gon na love this . kate produced a marriage certificate . abe : oh , no . roman : and i have talked to witnesses who swear they saw kate and deimos get married in vegas on the date in question . abe : oh , and no one has ever forged a marriage certificate or bribed a witness . roman : and there is no doubt that kate is capable of all of that . problem is proving it . but you know what ? we might not have to do that . abe : you think the guy 's alive . roman : my gut , yes . but , course , we 're not going to know that until deimos kiriakis turns up , one way or the other . nicole : yeah , every time victor needed some space from someone he lived with he just added on . lots of hiding spaces . dario : well , we went through them all . nicole : do you think that kate has the proof o dario : no , that 'd be too obvious . if she just whipped out her marriage license that would be -- nicole : yeah , i guess .

'cause if i were ciara , you never would have doubted me for a second . lani : jj , did you guys -- jj : we found paul . eli : oh , thank god . jj : yeah , we restrained him . ca n't hurt anyone . or himself . eli : hey , um , i 'm ... gon na head back to camp . i 'll let you guys talk . jj : is there something we need to talk about ? lani : yeah . there is . paul : what -- how will anyone forgive me ? how will you forgive me , sonny ? sonny : i already have , paul . okay , we just need to get you better , and we will . paul : [ groans ] sonny : oh , my god . i 'm so sorry . paul : no , no . no , it 's okay . it has to be this way . this ... this disease , it 's ... it 's still inside of me . sonny : no , no , no , you 're better now . i see the man that i love . paul : if you love me , you will keep me tied up . for everyone 's sake . gabi : sonny 's love brought him back . it 's probably not gon na last , is it ? you do n't think it will . chad : i did n't say that . gabi : but you thought that . chad , what if we do n't get -- chad : just think of all the other life or death situations we 've overcome in the last few months . we got this . we got it . steve : big , bad anjelica deveraux had to hide behind a false identity so adrienne could n't even fight fair . anjelica : well , if she wants life to be fair , i think she needs to reevaluate . steve : i think adrienne knows just about better than anyone that life 's not fair . anjelica : oh , is that why she sent you to do her dirty work ? steve : no , i 'm just looking for information . while she 's running the paper and taking care of her family . and being the kick - ass woman she is . anjelica : so she can fight her own battles , eh ? steve : oh , you can count on that . anjelica : well , that is great to know . now get out of my office because this kick - ass woman has three offers on the table to negotiate by the end of the day . steve : one second . i just have a question for you . so you being as busy as you are , rolling around in your piles of money , why do you care about `` the spectator `` ? a modest paper barely turning a profit . anjelica : i do n't want to see it fail . see , you think of it as adrienne and jennifer 's little hobby . but it was my stepson 's legacy too . steve : jack . anjelica : i was in his life longer than any of you . i helped make him the man he was with no help from any of you . steve : so this hostile takeover is about my brother . not adrienne or jennifer or justin or alexander . anjelica : patch , it is all encompassing . it 's about my rights . steve : and revenge . anjelica : which i will have . whatever it takes . lani : i was talking to eli and , um ... i realized that i was talking to the wrong guy . it 's you ... that i need to talk to . jj : okay . lani : i feel like you are distancing yourself from me . and at first , i could handle it , jj , but ... now i just -- i care about you so much . and i just ... i feel like you 're pulling away more and more , emotionally . am i wrong ? jj : no . you 're not . sonny : it 's going to be okay , paul . it has to be . gabi : you 're right . you 're right , we 've survived all kinds of life or death situations , and we 're gon na get past this . chad : together . gabi : together . chad : yeah . steve : so . you 're declaring war on everyone who 's ever done you wrong ? anjelica : oh , i think y ' all better gear up for the fight of your lives . steve : i 'm looking at someone who married a serial killer . who 's just now making the biggest mistake of her life . anjelica : yeah , well , we 'll see about that , wo n't we ? steve : oh , yes , we will . last , sebastian . jade : you 're being so nice to me . joey : i wan na be friends . i told you that . jade : yeah , but ... i do n't think that 's possible . joey , i still love you . i ca n't just shut that off . even now just being here with you , all i want is for you to hold me in your arms . joey : i understand . well , maybe we 'll have to be friends from a distance for a while . but maybe the next time you come up with one of your schemes to help somebody , you run it by me first . not that i have the greatest judgment , but ... jade : yeah , well , i think i 'll take all the help i can get . theo : claire , look , i should have believed you , okay ? i wish i had . it 's just , i knew how badly you wanted attention for your music page , and ... claire : yes , i wanted attention , but my god , theo . i 've said i love you . and you said you love me . i 'm not desperate to be famous . i just want my music to be heard . i want it to mean something . i want to touch people 's lives . i want to let them hear what i think love means . i thought it was this . us . i thought that we had something special . and i thought that you thought i was special . now i know i was wrong . theo : [ sniffling ] jj : it 's just ... if i 'm being honest with myself , i am pulling back . i 'm scared of hurting you . lani : why ? jj : 'cause i seem to hurt everyone i care about . lani : is that all it is ? jj : yeah . that 's all it is . lani : i am not worried about you hurting me . so do n't you worry about it either . okay ? jj : okay . lani : are we good ? jj : yeah . good . sonny : [ exhales ] i promised him everything would be okay . i have no idea if i can keep that promise . what are we going to do , chad ? chad : i do n't know . i do n't know . i 'm just glad we 're here with the people we love . | paul put a knife to sonny . chad and jj tried to stop paul from stabbing sonny . when paul let sonny go , chad and jj stopped him . anjelica caught steve in her office . claire wanted jade to tell theo and joey that she recorded claire and theo having sex . claire told them that abe and hope saw the video . claire wanted jade to tell the truth . while jj and chad were fighting paul , paul passed out . they said he was burning up . joey wanted jade to tell the truth . jade admitted to recording claire and theo having sex . sonny wanted to take care of paul , but gabi stopped him . anjelica told steve why she wanted to get revenge on adrienne . claire was upset with jade even when she tried to apologize . theo stopped claire from yelling at jade . |
xander : maggie , what -- why so hostile all of a sudden ? maggie : how could you do that to sarah ? xander : you said yesterday that you understood that everything i did was to protect her . maggie : that 's before i found out that you were gon na steal my daughter 's embryo and have it implanted in kristen 's body . brady : mm , mm -- ow , what are you doing ? what -- what are you doing ? sarah : xander thinks this is all an act . let 's prove him wrong . let 's go upstairs right now and have sex . brady : oh , my god . [ phones ringing ] lani : are those the notes we got from that guy ? eli : everything will and sonny told him . lani : but it 's still too early to file a missing persons report . gabi has n't been missing long enough . eli : true , but we can at least start to try to put the pieces together . yes , no ? what was that look ? lani : i do n't know , eli . i mean , honestly , i think everybody in this town would be better off if gabi just stayed gone . julie : excuse me . i hope that you have a permit to post that . you ? oh , my god . oh . ah . ciara : yes , i put a bunch 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 . [ knocking ] um , i got to go . someone 's knocking . ben : i love you . ciara : all right , i love you too . [ phone beeps ] claire : hello , ciara . ciara : um , claire . what are you doing here ? claire : i had to see you . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] claire : ciara , relax . it 's okay . i did n't break out of bayview , if that 's what you 're thinking . i was released . can i please come in ? ciara : um , yeah . my mom said that you might be getting released soon . i just -- i thought that you would go back to hong kong with your parents . claire : yeah , that 's what they wanted , but i refused . ciara : why ? claire : because of you . jake : hello ? hi . are you with me ? julie : oh , god . jake : are you okay ? you 're not gon na faint on me , are you ? julie : um , no . i 'm light - headed . that 's all . jake : right , because i look just like that stefan dimera guy . julie : i 'd heard about you but seeing you in person , it 's a shock . you see , stefan 's heart , it 's beating in my chest . jake : oh . so you 're that lady . julie : julie williams . yeah , i 'm julie . jake : right . yeah , gabi told me she donated her husband 's ticker to save your life . julie : save my life ? no . she used that heart to try to blow me up ! ben : will , hey . i was n't expecting to see you again so soon . any news on gabi ? will : um , unfortunately , no . listen , um , when sonny and i came by earlier , you said that you had not seen gabi yesterday , right ? ben : right . will : the thing is , she told us that she was coming here to get a sample of jake 's dna , and since you work here and jake works here and lives here , it 's just kind of weird that neither of you saw her . ben : i wish i could be more help , will . will : so i think you -- you could have been of more help if jake was n't standing right next to you , but , i mean , we 're alone now , so you can speak freely . ben : i told you , will . will : i know . listen , i know what you told me , but my question is , were you telling me the truth ? i wanted more from my copd medicine , xander : you , uh , talked to sarah ? maggie : it was the first chance i had to see my daughter since i was released from prison . i knew she was fragile , given everything she 'd been through , everything you put her through , but i never could have imagined you could have gotten worse . xander : the last thing i ever wanted was to hurt her . maggie : but then you did ! was n't switching the babies enough ? but this , plotting with kristen to invade sarah 's body ? xander : look , i hate myself for being involved , but brady should hate himself , too . maggie : oh , for telling her the truth about you ? xander : he added to her pain for no reason . maggie : well , at least she knows what a despicable creep you are , and now i want to know , what the hell were you thinking ? brady : mm . sarah , sarah , sarah , slow down . slow down , take it easy . sarah : what ? do you not find me attractive ? brady : of course i do -- no , that 's not the -- of course i do . that 's not the point . the point is , i know you want to hurt xander , but sleeping together ? do n't you think that 's a little drastic ? do we have to do that ? sarah : i thought that we were partners working together to make xander and victor pay . brady : yeah , yeah , yeah , we are . sarah : mm - hmm . brady : we are . sarah : okay , well , you got xander fired from titan . now you are in the prime position to take down the entire company and destroy everything that your grandfather built . brady : that 's right . that 's a beautiful thing , right . sarah : okay . what about me , brady ? you got what you want . does my revenge not matter anymore ? ben : will , i swear to you , the last time i saw gabi was when i stopped her from jabbing jake with a needle . will : okay . i -- damn it . i really hoped you had more information and you just could n't say anything because jake was threatening you or something . ben : no , no , not at all . i mean , yes , he 's had it with gabi , but he 'd never hurt her . will : well , i 'm worried someone has because she would never just leave ari like this . ben : all right , will , do not get ahead of yourself , okay ? i promise you , ciara and i are gon na keep our ears open for any word on gabi and i will keep an eye on jake , okay ? will : okay , thanks . and , um , listen , i 'm sorry that -- if i made it seem like i did n't trust you . it 's just -- i do n't know . i 've just been a little rattled . like , my -- my daughter 's mom is missing , so it 's , um , tough . ben : i get it , man . it 's okay . will : but i do . uh , i do trust you , and , um , i 'm grateful for our friendship . julie : so after the transplant , i needed a pacemaker . my doctor recommended one that was manufactured by a subsidiary of dimera enterprises , and that is when gabi intervened and had her minions rig it . jake : what do you mean ? julie : she had my pacemaker attached to an app on her phone , and this app gave her control of my heart rate . she could either slow it down to where it would stop or speed it up to where i went into cardiac arrest . she literally had the power to kill me , and she very nearly did . jake : why would she do that ? julie : because she wanted to break up my grandson and his fiancée ! eli : i do n't get it . i mean , you told your dad that you were on board with trying to help find gabi . lani : i know i said that , but when i think about all of the horrible things that gabi has done to people , i mean , seriously , eli , have you ever known anyone to be so ruthless and sadistic ? eli : i 'm no fan of gabi either , okay ? you know that , but this is n't just about her . lani : i know . i know . we got to think about will and sonny -- they 're worried -- and the fact that she is the mother to their daughter , but you know what ? my money still says that she jumped her bail . eli : will and sonny do n't think there 's any way gabi would just abandon their daughter like that , and i agree with them . lani : yeah , i do , too . no mother would ever just abandon her child unless she was forced to . speaking of that , i ca n't stop thinking about rafe and everything that he 's going through , and having david just ripped out of his life . eli : so let 's help him out . make sure that he does n't have to worry about his sister missing on top of everything else . lani : yeah , you 're right . he does love his sister , and rafe is a good man . and so are you . thank you . eli : for what ? lani : for reminding me that our friends are more important than some old grudge . ciara : you refused to go to hong kong because of me ? i 'm sorry . i do n't understand . claire : well , is n't it obvious ? ciara , we have unfinished business . claire : claire , if you 're talking about what happened at the cabin , i , um -- claire : no , it 's okay . it 's okay . you can say it . i tried to burn you alive , and i want to make amends for that and for all of the horrible things that i did to you and , you know , i ca n't do that if i 'm halfway across the world . i needed to be here in salem . ciara : yeah , okay . okay , but does n't someone have to be keeping an eye on you ? claire : yes , yes , that 's a condition of my release , and thankfully , my grandma marlena and my grandpa john agreed to be my guardians , so i 'm staying with them . ciara : good , good , i 'm glad that you have their support . but claire , you do n't -- you do n't owe me anything . i mean , what happened between us , it 's -- honestly , i do n't even think about it anymore . at least , i try not to . you know , it 's in the past . claire : not for me . ciara , we used to be so close . best friends . practically sisters , which makes what i did to you even worse because not only did i do horrible things , i did them to somebody i love . ciara : oh , no , claire , please do n't do that to yourself . it 's okay . i am okay , and i forgive you . claire : and my god , that is so kind of you to say , but what i 've realized after two years and countless hours of therapy is that i will never be able to truly forgive myself , and never truly heal , unless i can repair our relationship . i know . maybe we wo n't get back to being best friends , but i need to at least prove to you that i am not a psycho killer anymore . will you please give me that chance ? when the murray 's started using gain ultra flings eli : it says here that when gabi left court yesterday , she told will and sonny that she was going to see jake lambert , and that her plan was to get a dna sample from him to prove that he was really stefan . lani : which is impossible , because stefan 's heart is now in julie . julie : so in a nutshell , gabi turned me into a walking , talking time bomb , and if poor lani had not broken eli 's heart , gabi would have exploded my heart . jake : wow . it 's bad enough that gabi injected that abigail dimera with this designer lsd and she tried to inject me with it , but the more i hear about this widow dimera , the worse she sounds . julie : my dear , you have no idea . ben : i appreciate you considering me a friend . will : well , i do , um , even though you did try to kill me . you know , that 's water under the bridge , so ... ben : [ scoffs ] if you really do feel that way about me , maybe you would n't mind -- will : would n't mind what ? ben : being my best man . ciara : i never thought that you were a psycho killer , claire . just a very , very troubled young girl , but , uh , i mean , you 're better now , right ? you have to be or else they would n't have let you out . claire : yeah , no , i am better . i am so much better and i am beyond grateful to my doctors and marlena for believing in me , but ciara , what you think matters more than all of that , because you are the person i hurt the most . ciara : there were plenty of times that i hurt you too . claire : it is not the same . ciara : no , but i have been unkind and inconsiderate and , uh , i mean , even though we were very close , we did n't always bring out the best in each other . claire : yeah , we competed for attention from our family , then theo and tripp . ciara : yeah . yeah , but , you know , all of that is over now because i am in love with ben and i have moved on with my life and all of the bad things that happened between us , they are in the past . claire : do you really mean that ? ciara : i do . i forgive you , claire brady . claire : okay . then let me be your maid of honor . brady : well , sure -- of course your revenge still matters , yeah . i just do n't think having sex is essential to making xander miserable , do you ? sarah : i am not going for run - of - the - mill misery here . i want to cause maximum pain , so if he finds out that we actually slept together , that will totally do it . it will be a death blow . brady : oh , sarah , ooh . sarah : what is the problem , brady ? please do not tell me that replacing him as ceo is enough for you . brady : i guess it 's not , no . sarah : you guess ? brady : i guess it 's not ! sarah : brady ! for an entire year , that selfish , heartless coward sat by and watched you and kristen mourn a baby that he knew was still alive . what kind of a person does that ? brady : a bastard does that . sarah : that 's right ! that 's right , and i do n't care if xander convinced himself that he was doing it to protect me . it was sick and wrong and it caused so much suffering . brady : at least rachel is still alive . sarah : right , and thank god . thank god for that , but she and kristen both should be here with you . you should be a family and xander stole that from you . so it 's not just about my revenge . why not double down on yours ? brady , you owe it to your daughter to deliver this death blow . xander : in my defense , kristen did blackmail me into agreeing to her plan . maggie : oh , really ? how did she do that ? xander : i promised sarah i 'd keep her pregnancy secret and then i stupidly spilled it in front of kristen . she told me if i did n't cooperate , she 'd tell eric and tell him that she found out from me . i was in an impossible position . maggie : you put yourself in that position . xander : i get that . i 've made mistakes -- lots of mistakes -- and i -- broke sarah 's heart , and now i have to fix it . i need to make her see that -- i need to change her mind about who i am , and that 's why i 'm here , maggie . i need your help . maggie : i gave you my advice . back off , xander . give sarah some space . xander i can't . i 'm not gon na lose your daughter , maggie . i know i 'm on thin ice with you , but you 've got to give me something , please , because clearly , my last idea was just terrible . maggie : hmm . i 'm afraid to ask . xander : i want to see jack devereaux earlier . i went to take out a big `` i 'm sorry , sarah , `` ad in his paper , but he told me that that would be an epic fail . eli : okay , so yesterday , gabi storms off to the garage to get a dna sample from jake , and this morning , will and sonny realize that she never came home , so they went and talked to jake , but jake says he never saw her . lani : you think he 's lying ? eli : i do n't know , but i do know the guy does n't like the cops . lani : okay , well , what about ben ? he works at the garage . he says he has n't seen gabi for days . eli : yeah , but will and sonny , i mean , they are set that gabi was on a mission to get a dna sample from jake . lani : mm . we 're missing something . eli : probably because we 're trying to solve the case using just the facts . we need to get more creative . julie : trust me . gabriella dimera is very bad news . jake : oh , i 've heard from a lot of people . julie : smart people . jake : but then there are others who clearly love her , like her brother , rafe , right ?

will you be my best man ? will : mmm ... yeah . i 'd be honored to . [ both chuckling ] ben : thank you , man . ciara : um , huh , wow . i -- i did n't even -- i was n't even sure that you knew that ben and i were engaged , but , uh -- well , i guess , since you moved in with john and marlena , you were -- you were bound to find out sooner or later . claire : well , i did . congratulations . ciara , i know how much you and ben love each other , and nothing in this world would make me happier than to be by your side when you say `` i do . `` ciara : yeah , you know what ? we have n't really thought about the wedding party . man , there 's just so much planning to do . claire : oh . have you already chosen a maid of honor ? ciara : well , no , not officially , but my mom and julie are helping me out with all of that . claire : okay , well , i mean , hope 's the mother of the bride , so she 's out , and knowing julie , she 's probably already launched a full - blown campaign to perform the ceremony . ciara : well , actually , she was a little reluctant at first , you know , given her track record , but eventually , she decided to -- to do it . claire : yep , all the more reason you need me . see , i can help keep julie from hogging the spotlight , and i can make sure that this is a wedding no one in salem will ever forget . ahoyy ! eli : okay , let 's -- let 's say gabi shows up at the garage hell - bent on getting a dna sample from jake , and we both know how gabi is when she 's not taking no for an answer . lani : and jake 's not willing to play ball since gabi already tried to attack him with a syringe . they start to tangle . things get ugly . eli : right . really ugly , like , okay , let 's say that jake accidentally kills gabi . lani : okay , i mean , i guess that 's possible , but then what about ben ? eli : well , i 'm hoping ben 's telling the truth about not seeing gabi , but he 's also about to get married . the last thing that he wants to get caught up in a murder investigation . lani : which jake knows . eli : so maybe jake convinces ben that his best move is to keep quiet and then help him get rid of the body . lani : you think jake would really ask ben to help him do that ? eli : he 's the damn necktie killer . um , again , look , this is -- this is all just a theory , so we do have to take extra precaution because we actually have n't opened a full investigation yet , but -- lani : we may have a murderer on our hands . jake : thanks for the heads up on gabi . julie : [ chuckles ] uh , before i got all woozy , you were putting up pictures of this girl . who is she ? jake : uh , my ex . julie : oh . oh , i see . well , if you 're making such an effort to find her , i assume you want to patch things up . jake : no , no . she -- she has something that belongs to me , and i need it back now . ben : aww , glad you said yes . ciara really wanted it to be you and i just want her wedding to be perfect . will : well , in that case , do n't ask julie to officiate it because her track record is -- ben : whoa , we already asked her . will : oh , oh , yeah . uh , i mean , i was just -- i was joking obviously . ben : ah . will : yeah , so julie 's going to be amazing . ben : wow . this is getting real . i 'm gon na be a married man in a few weeks . will : yeah , you will . and maybe a dad , you know ? who knows . i mean , do you and ciara want kids ? not that that 's , like , really my business , me asking . ben : what do you mean ? it 's fine . you 're my friend . you 're my best man now , so yeah , it 's fine to ask , and yes , since ciara and i both love children , i assume we will eventually . maybe sooner , and we will definitely be asking you and sonny for parenting tips . will : perfect . you know , if our babies are around the same age , then maybe they 'll grow up and be pals . ben : our babies ? something you want to tell me ? will : oh , yeah .

sami : great , actually . i called brady on the off chance that he would know where nic ye was . and she 's with him . he 's gon na keep her busy . rafe : okay . so the only person unaccounted for .. sami : ej . rafe : he 's not home . my sources do n't know where he is , though . sami : well , i think we 're just gon na have to go for it and hope that , wherever he is , he stays put . taylor : ej , i really , really need to talk to you . please call me back . daniel : he 's stable . melanie : was it because of her voice ?

so ... which means that i will love and protect you no matter what you choose to do . chad : you know , i keep on believing you , and that scares me . stefano : well , that 's because we are getting to know each other , see ? and one thing you 're going to learn , i never lie to my children . i mean , ask alexandra . ask , well , elvis for goodness sake . chad : unless it 's for their own good . stefano : oh , well , that goes without saying . chad : i 'll think about it . stefano : fine . listen , i know you have a lot to consider . chad : [ sighs ] yeah . well , how you feeling ? has your episode passed yet ? kate : episode ? what episode ? jennifer : it was brady ? why on earth would brady do something like this ? melanie : he just found out something horrible that ej did and he kind of flipped out . jennifer : that 's why you brought ej to the clinic and enlisted your parents to keep quiet , right ? melanie : yeah . if stefano found out , he 'd go after brady , and then victor would go after stefano , and -- jennifer : let me ask you something . do n't you think that ej is gon na remember ? melanie : i have n't figured that out yet . i got to give 'em this . i 'm sorry . i got the sedative . can you administer it ? dad , i need to talk to you for a second . carly : that 's fine , baby . melanie : i need to ask you a favor . daniel : no kidding . melanie : is there any way you can make it so that ej does n't remember what happened ? daniel : well , if there were , i would n't do it . melanie : i know , i know , but , dad , a lot of people are gon na get hurt . daniel : yeah , but do n't you think brady should have thought about that before he attempted to kill ej ? melanie : i do n't think brady was thinking . i think he found out what ej did and he freaked out , which is the exact same thing you would do if it was somebody you loved and you know it . carly : he 's stabilized . what 's going on ? melanie : i need help , and dad wo n't give it to me . even though brady 's pretty much family , and that guy ... we already saved his worthless life . do we have to let him do more damage ? taylor : oh , god , he answered . he picked up . why -- why did n't he say anything ? lexie : ooh , judging from the tone of your voice and that look on your face , i 've got to say the he you 're referring to is my brother , hmm ? taylor : i ca n't find him anywhere . lex , i came here to see if there had been an accident or something . lexie : i have n't seen him . i 'll call my father for you , see if he knows where he is . taylor : no . no , no , no , no . he made it very clear that i am persona non grata . lexie : well , i do n't pay much attention to my father 's decrees . taylor : okay , well , i think it 's pointless . i do . i think he told ej to stay away from me . lexie : well , i do n't see ej doing what father says either . especially when it comes to his private life . taylor : lex ... lex , i thought i knew what was going on , okay . i thought that stefano was angry because ej had to give up certain aspects of his life because of me , but ... i do n't know . lexie : what , you think he 's reneged ? taylor : i think that ... you know , i do n't even know what i think anymore . rafe : okay , bud . last security camera was just disabled . and the cameras are on a permanent visual loop , so there wo n't be any record of you guys being there . bo : okay , man . let 's do it . rafe : oh , and i 'll let you know if anyone comes back . give you plenty of warning . bo : okay , i got you . thanks . sami , you 're up . sami : wish me luck . bo : good luck . mary : oh , mrs. hernandez . i did n't know you 'd be dropping by . sami : yeah . what 's so weird , i thought you had the night off tonight . mary : harold has a bug , so mr. dimera asked me to stay . sami : oh , my god . uh ... javier : mar -- mary , you got to stop them . they 're trying to kill me . sami : that is not true . he 's just drunk . mary : i do n't care what he is . i 'm calling mr. dimera . sami : the hell you are . my , my . what have we here ? nicole : maggie , thank you for coming to my defense , but it 's really not necessary because i do n't care what victor says or does . brady : well , i 'm gon na go ... leave you two lovebirds alone . nicole : um , maggie , you know you 're too good for him . but then again , who is n't ? victor : my grandson is drinking , fighting , and hanging out with nicole . you find that at all coincidental ? maggie : this is n't about brady and nicole . i came here to thank you for your donation to the hospital . victor : it was nothing . maggie : yeah , of course . you 're right . well , when it comes to giving money , i mean , yeah , you do n't have a problem with that . because that does n't require any commitment or understanding . so you 're good to go . as i am . victor : wait , maggie , do n't leave . not yet . nicole : [ clears throat ] hmm - hmm . brady : glasses . nicole : yes . provin ' that we ai n't low - rent . we drink with refinement . brady : `` we `` ? nicole : mm - hmm . brady : i do n't know if you 've noticed , nicole , but this is not your husband 's bed that you 're lying in right now . nicole : he 's otherwise engaged with my sister . brady : mm . even so , it 's not a very good idea for you to try to ally yourself with me right now . dimeras do n't take too kindly to people who beat the crap out of their heir - apparent . nicole : brady , do you think you might have killed ej ? brady : i do n't know . maybe . i was angry enough to . i might have been a little too drunk to pull it off , though . nicole : but you wanted to ? brady : yeah , i wanted to . nicole : brady . brady : nicole , let me make something very clear to you , okay ? what i did had nothing to do with you . sami : mary , i 'm really sorry about that . i did not mean to grab you like that or talk to you like that . it 's just i 'm so freaked out right now . we were at dinner , and we were driving home , and i realized that i forgot sydney 's doll . you know the one she wo n't go to sleep without ? so i thought we could stop by here and pick it up real quick . i did n't realize how much rafe had had to drink . javier : ugh . she 's lying . bo : hey , hey , hey , rafe , rafe , let 's go for a walk . javier : do n't listen to her . bo : get some air . huh ? sami : yeah , thanks , uncle bo . i 'm so sorry . mary : why is he wearing handcuffs ? this does n't make any sense . sami : oh , god , it 's just so embarrassing . look , we were driving , and rafe was driving , and he got pulled over , and he 's drunk . so then he was mouthing off to my uncle bo , and it 's just a big nightmare , and i 'm really sorry to involve you in this , but , you know what , i just ca n't let ej and stefano find out about that , okay ? so i need you to keep quiet . mary : i do n't know . i ... sami : you do n't know ? what do n't you know ? i mean , imagine if the situation were reversed . if ej and stefano found out about all the times that you 're late when you show up to pick up the kids at my place or that i was n't the one with sydney when she fell that time that it really was you . mary : you would n't ! sami : if it 's about my kids , i will . hope : if you do n't believe her , well , why do n't you just ask ej ? sami : look , i do n't want to threaten you . i want us to stay friends . i think we 're friends . are n't we friends ? and i just really need to make sure that ej and stefano do n't find out about any of this . so i need to make sure you do n't say anything or , well , do i have to say it ? mary : what do you want me to do ? sami : there 's the spirit . thank you . i really appreciate your support . you do n't have to do anything . just go to your room and do n't say anything to anyone about this , okay ? mary : yes , ma'am . sami : i knew i could count on you . thank you , mary . you know , i hated doing that . hope : we 're good to go . let 's go . bo : we 're okay ? she 's gone ? javier : you 're not gon na get anything out of me . sami : yeah , i know you do n't really like telling the truth , but , this time around , you 're not calling the shots . i am . kate : okay . what 's he talking about , `` an episode `` ? stefano : how do you do that ? she has this unnerving ability to show up every time that i am saying something i do n't want her to hear . kate : mm - hmm . that 's right . now did you call lexie ? did you get your blood sugar monitored ? stefano : all right , i will call her now , but i 'm fine , i 'm fine , i 'm fine . kate : thank you . stefano : ay - yi - yi . chad : you know , i 'm glad you heard that . i worry about him not taking care of himself . and i do n't think it works for me to tell him to watch it . kate : oh , no , no , no . i think you 've done him more good than i ever could . chad : yeah , right . kate : i mean it . i do n't think i 'm overstating it to say that you 've given him a new lease on life . he 's making sure to take care of himself because he wants to be around to launch you . chad : `` launch me `` ? kate : did you ever play in the little league ? chad : yes , and what the hell does that have to do with it ? kate : well , do you remember the fathers who showed up for every game and they 'd want to teach every move to their kids ? and that would have bored stefano to tears . but he loves teaching you the ropes , and i know he 's looking forward to the day when he gets to watch you finesse a really good deal . you give him reason to wake up in the morning . chad : well , he 's asked me to work for him . not just as an intern . kate : okay . and you have reservations ? chad : well , yeah . kate : it would really make me happy , i mean , it 's selfish of me , but if you 'd give it a go ... because i want him to be around for a long , long time . yes . stefano : all right , she is going to check me out in the morning . so , what , are you two conspiring against me while i 'm gone , hmm ? kate : we are not conspiring . thank you very much . but i have to get going . i have an appointment . so i will see you two boys later , and you , whenever that appointment is , i 'm going with you . eh . do n't even say anything . stefano : all right . ciao . [ sighs ] so what are you two talking about ? chad : little league . stefano : okay . chad : so what were we talking about before ? stefano : about expanding your role in the business . chad : that 's right . yes . yes . umm ... i think i 've come to a decision . lexie : taylor , i -- mm , it is getting harder and harder for me not to say to you , `` i told you so . `` this is what it 's like to deal with the dimera clan , okay ? i do n't think you 're up for it . taylor : well , i love him . ca n't help it . lexie : i wish i could say i think it 's gon na work out , but i -- [ cell phone rings ] i 've got to go . look , i know i ca n't tell you what to do , but , when it comes to my father , let ej handle him . taylor : god , ej , why wo n't you talk to me ? daniel : damn it , melanie . i took an oath . i ca n't do anything that 's gon na interfere with the well - being of my patient , even though he is arrogant and ruthless . melanie : i know , dad . come on . daniel : no , you need to stop and think . now your mother and i , we played it fast and loose for you because you asked us to . now do n't ask me to violate my oath . melanie : okay . so i have to fix this on my own . kate : quinn , it 's kate dimera . call me when you get this message . no more games . i need to get the proof on chloe . hope : i 'm really hoping the second dose makes it easier for you to open up , share a little . javier : you ... bitch . hope : sticks and stones . we have fay walker 's medical records . her injuries were severe . she had to have fallen . i 'm so sorry . let me -- let me amend that . she must have been pushed from almost the top of the staircase . bo : must have been harrowing . big , strong guy like you pushing around a sick , frail woman . hope : kind of makes you wonder what she had on you . bo : you would have gotten away with it too , huh , if it was n't for that damn cameo . hope : but you wanted a souvenir . sami ? sami : yeah . you know , i guess in a way fay won . it was fay that brought you down . i know who you are . and i know what you 've done . fay : let 's show them what a big , strong man you were . javier : you ? fay : me . and you 're gon na tell them what you did to me . bo : okay , come on , let 's take our places . come on . is this it ? right here . come on , let 's get up here . sami : no . open your eyes . hope : sami . sami , no . sami : keep 'em open , damn you . bo : come on . sami : look at me . look at the woman you killed . this is stylish . victor : i want you to think , really think about what happens when you drop in here . you end up angry and hurt . maggie : i came over here to thank you for your generosity . and i end up seeing you lashing out at nicole ... who is trying to help brady . victor : that 's what i want you to think about . look , the circumstances may change , but , in this house , there is always the daily crisis . and that pains you . i can not in good conscience say that what goes on in this house will ever change . or that i will . maggie : you do n't want to change . victor : so you agree with me . i ca n't -- wo n't change . my family ca n't -- wo n't change . and i no longer want to subject you to this . nicole : i know that , brady . i know you went after ej because of arianna . brady : she spent the last couple days of her life trying to help that son of a bitch , and what did he do ? he had one of his minions kill her . nicole : i know . you can never underestimate what ej is capable of . brady : are your eyes finally open ? nicole : yes . wide open . brady : yeah . and you 'll never fall for his act again until you fall for his act again . nicole : i think ... i really hope ... this time was the last time . brady : i 'm sure it will be . nicole : brady , do you know how hard it is to watch taylor make the same mistakes ? god only knows what 's gon na happen to her . brady : no . nothing good . nicole : no . nothing good . and here i am again . i mean , this is the first day of the rest of my life , and i am so good at landing on my feet . brady : [ laughs ] so what 's next on your agenda , walker ? nicole : you .

[ chuckles ] you know , i do n't think the camera can capture that thing that makes you so irresistible . clyde : and what would that be ? kate : i do n't think i can put that in words . but enough with the photo . it 's the article that everyone 's talking about . clyde : so what 's the word on the street ? kate : well , that my grandson is a brilliant writer . [ text alert ] kate : oh . sorry . [ scoffs ] clyde : what 's wrong ? kate : i missed an email . i 'm being summoned . clyde : well , give the old bastard hell for me , will you ? kate : well , it 's not victor . it 's his mini - me , which mean i 'm going to need all the good thoughts that you can muster to keep me from throttling that man . rafe : i 've got no idea what you 're talking about . justin : you really need me to spell it out for you ? my uncle gave you explicit orders to leave clyde weston alone . rafe : i have left him alone . justin : and you got hope involved . that was a very bad move . hope : aiden , i know where this is coming from . i overheard you in the park , talking to rafe about clyde . aiden : you overheard ? what , you were there ? hope : and i saw how upset you got , and i feel totally responsible . aiden : hope , i -- hope : no , no , no , clyde is -- he 's your client , your business , just -- i mean , just like you said from the very beginning . aiden : yes , my client , but your suspect , right ? hope : he 's not a suspect in an active case . look , cops by nature are very suspicious people . aiden : mm . hope : does n't mean my hunches are always right . aiden : [ chuckles ] no ? hope : no . aiden : oh . hope : no , sometimes , shocking as it is , i can be wrong ... about you , for example . aiden : mm . hope : what i 'm trying to say is , i know the work you do for clyde is all above board , and i do n't want our relationship to affect your business relationship with a very important client . aiden : okay , so are you saying you do n't want me to drop clyde as a client ? serena : i will tell you everything , but this has to stay between us . eric : i ca n't agree to that before i know what you 're going to say . serena : then i will tell you nothing if you do n't promise . yeah , yeah , okay , i am trying to cover my own ass , but i am way more worried about you . they do n't call 'em `` blood diamonds `` for nothing . eric : so i was right . serena : about that , yeah . i need your word that you 're going to hear me out all the way through , that you 're not gon na go running to the police or trying to confront xander until you 've had time to digest everything i 've said and you understand all of the implications . and in return , no lies . i 'll give you the whole truth . at this point , i realize i have no choice , but if you take this information out of this room , you will destroy us both . nicole : another guy ? who , someone i met a few hours ago ? come on , xander . we 're not gon na go down this road again , are we ? xander : of course not . i was joking . nicole : oh . [ laughs ] okay , well , i mean , if you must know , i 'm meeting some colleagues for a drink . you know , nothing i 'm looking forward to . we just have to discuss a story we 're running next week , and i 'm afraid i 'm gon na be late if i do n't get going , so -- wait a minute , sally said the front door is locked and the guard went home sick . how did you get in here ? rafe : well , not that i owe you any explanation , but i did n't get detective brady involved . i think you know hope pretty well , she 's a smart cop who knows how to follow a hunch . i actually tried to get her to back off . justin : mm . and when you failed , you decided to join forces and go after weston together , after you promised victor you would n't . so if you have a concern , you take it to your boss , rafe , not the police . rafe : look , hope has access to certain information -- justin : victor has all that information and more . of course , you do n't have anything solid on weston , right ? rafe : maybe i do n't . are you saying victor does n't either ? justin : i 'm saying he would have told you if he wanted you to know . rafe : right . justin : so drop this . i do n't care if it kills you to do it , just leave it alone , at least until we tell you otherwise . my uncle knows what he 's doing , and right now , he 's all about minimizing collateral damage . can we count on you ? rafe : okay . i 'll drop it . justin : good . rafe : for now . hope : i 'm not gon na tell you what i think you should do . aiden : hmm . hope : that 's for you to decide . just wish i 'd stayed out of it in the first place . aiden : hmm . where is this coming from , hmm ? hope : uh -- i told you , i finally realized that -- well , how upset i made you . aiden : you did n't make me -- hope : i did , and i do not want our jobs to come between us , period . okay ? aiden : okay . hope : i am so happy ... aiden : mmm . hope : you 're in my life . aiden : likewise . hope : clyde weston , he 's just so not worth worrying about . aiden : so are you saying you 're not worried anymore ? hope : i do n't see any reason why you should n't keep him as a client . i love you . aiden : i love you too . hope : i 'm really glad that we talked about this . aiden : me too . hope : sorry to kiss and run , but i got ta go . i have a million things i have to do . aiden : ahh . hope : so i will ... [ both moan ] hope : let you get back to work . aiden : mmm . do i have to ? this -- hope : well , tell you what . aiden : mm . hope : i 'll make it worth your while later . aiden : i 'll be looking forward to that , i will , yes . [ phone ringing ] clyde : stan , my man . what 've you got ? stan : i 'm outside mr. jennings ' office . clyde : and ? stan : hope brady went into the building a little while ago . hey , now she 's coming out , alone . clyde : excellent . keep me posted . eric : all right . well , i 'm not gon na go anywhere until i 've heard you out . start talking . serena : i wish that i had never gotten involved with xander . just -- when you got your calling to become a priest -- n -- i 'm not blaming , i 'm just trying to explain . you know , i know that you and i were n't all that serious , but i had fallen for you , hard . and i thought you felt the same way . then you said that god had a different purpose for you . eric : you said you understood . serena : eric , i did . but it was still hard . and i was lonely . xander was -- eric : right there ? serena : and he was fun . at least i thought he was . eric : so did i. i also thought i was a good judge of character . serena : he fooled me too . eric : so how long did you wait before you jumped into bed with him ? serena : remember that last assignment that you took before you went back to the states ? eric : a photo safari . i said i was gon na be a month . serena : you knew i was no saint . eric : oh , my god . so you were seeing him before i even left ? you lied about that too ? serena : you would n't have wanted to know what we did . look , xander , he was -- he was the opposite of you . he 's a little crazy . and he -- he had a way of talking me into doing things ... i never even thought that i would -- and it was -- it was exciting . then one day , he had this idea , it was supposed to be better than ever . we were gon na have the time of our lives , and i was stupid enough to believe him . maggie : i - i - i know what 's wrong . i canceled a luncheon because i was so busy . i have n't eaten anything all day . daniel : well , did you have any nausea , dizziness ? maggie : no , no , no . i 'm sure it 's just low blood sugar . daniel : you 're probably right . but i 'd be negligent if i did n't order a full workup , especially with your medical history . maggie : you 're not gon na take me to the hospital . daniel : uh , yes , i am , and you are not gon na argue with me . maggie : but nicole 's on her way over -- daniel : i will just call her and tell her not to come . it is just that simple . xander : the guard was there when i came in . nicole : herb ? xander : maybe he started to feel better . nicole : i could 've sworn sally said the front was locked up and everyone was leaving -- xander : well , everyone except old herb , i suppose , and you . and me . [ phone ringing ] xander : people are both soft and strong [ phone ringing ] nicole : uh -- [ laughs ] [ phone ringing ] nicole : uh , excuse me , but i should take this . xander : take your time . nicole : okay . hello ? daniel : nicole , i hope you 're not already on your way . my mom 's not feeling well . i 'm taking her to the hospital just to get checked out . you know , precaution , i want to make sure she 's okay . nicole : of course . daniel : so we 'll have to find another time to get together . maybe later ? nicole : sure . a - another time . take care . xander : who was that ? serena : it was like jumping out of a plane without a parachute . you know , the adrenaline , it was -- it was unbelievable . eric : smuggling diamonds gave you a rush ? serena : i know it 's ridiculous , but back then , i was broke . i was bored , i -- young , stupid . eric : so you said , `` hey , let 's rip off people and get rich . it sounds like a lot of fun . `` serena : i did n't think it through . eric : really ? serena : and then xander convinced me that we were n't hurting anyone , you know , and then it was kind of like a game . we figured out the how , the when , the where , and we carved that compartment in my elephant statue , and the next thing i know , we were doing it , there was -- there was no turning back then . eric : you know what , serena ? you were so heartbroken when we said our good- byes . you know what the truth is ? you had already moved on completely , 'cause you could n't wait till i was gone . nicole : that was sally , my co - worker . xander : the one you were going to meet ? well , it sounds like something came up . does that mean i 've got you all to myself ? nicole : well , uh -- xander : well ? nicole : to be honest , i 'm really glad she canceled , i 'm exhausted . xander : oh . so you 'd like to get together another night ? nicole : i hope you understand . xander : oh , yes , i understand a great deal . i 'm not sure you 're all that exhausted , though . i think maybe you 're just not interested , at least not in the way you 've led me to believe . nicole : no , xander , i - i -- xander : i do n't think you 've ever been interested in me . it 's always been about something else with you . nicole : what do you mean ? xander : i really do n't think i like you , nicole . nicole : tough luck , i guess . xander : yeah , tough ... for you . man when i got shingles it was something awful . justin : these sales numbers are n't too bad . kate : not too bad ? that 's the strongest growth we 've had in six quarters . justin : mm , well , you did n't have anywhere to go but up . kate : [ chuckles ] justin : let 's see how long it lasts without our top designer and distributor . kate : you know , i think we could do with some new blood around here . justin : hmm ? kate : hmm . and i 'm not talking about you . justin : i do happen to have some ideas about the new men 's line . kate : okay , well , that 's my job , justin . justin : no , your job is what i say it is . and i say we need a new celebrity pitchman to let the guys know that mad world is also for them . kate : oh , by all means , let 's hear the lawyer 's big idea . i 'm sure your expertise in hawking cologne is no doubt unmatched . justin : hire this man . kate : you 're insane . aiden : oh , thank you for coming by , and if you can just sign by the xs and initial the highlighted areas . clyde : all righty . but before i do , what was it you wanted to discuss with me ? rafe : so word on the street is that stefano 's about to cut a deal on those tax evasion charges . could be back in salem any day now . hope : yeah , i 'm hearing the same thing . rafe : crazy , right ? hope : mm - hmm . that 's not why you called me . rafe : [ chuckles ] no . listen , i made a mistake in telling you everything that i knew about clyde . hope : you did n't just tell me . i twisted your arm , rafe . hard . rafe : okay , so maybe you did . hope : yeah . rafe : but i need to drop it . now . hope : this is coming from victor , right ? rafe : and if you keep investigating weston , he 's gon na hear about it -- hope : he 's not gon na find out . he 's not going to find out . rafe : um ... hope : i 'm dropping it . serena : you may find this hard to believe , but ... it was very emotional saying good - bye to you . you were going off to find your true calling , and all i wanted was for you to be happy . but it was hectic when we were packing your things , and ... i wound up with your elephant statue . eric : and i had yours . the one with the diamonds . serena : i did n't -- i did n't realize it then . xander was very careful . he wanted me to put the statue and some other stuff in storage until it was safe to deliver them . eric : and then what ? serena : i stayed in africa with xander for one more month . eric : did you rob a bank ? did you plot a coup ? more fun times ? serena : no . that 's when i found out ... who xander really was . i saw his temper and how violent he could be . eric : did he hurt you ? serena : there were these two men . one was a business associate and the other a stranger , and they got into words with xander at a club and ... they were jumped and badly beaten . i knew then i had -- i had to get away from him . and god help anyone , anyone who got on xander 's bad side . daniel : i really wish you would let me call victor and brady , please . maggie : no , wait until i can tell them that nothing is wrong . daniel : are you sure you do n't feel any muscle weakness ? no double vision ? maggie : no . daniel : okay , well , what about -- what about if -- maggie : daniel , i love you very much . but we 're gon na wait for dr. jacobs because you are my son and you will order every test known to mankind before i can get out of here . daniel : yeah , i just want to make sure you 're okay . maggie : well , nothing that a good meal wo n't cure . as long as it 's not from the cafeteria . daniel : oh , so you need a cook , not a doctor ? maggie : i 'm very grateful i have a doctor . daniel : i am very grateful i have you . maggie : i 'm not going anywhere . daniel : neither am i . nicole : what the hell is wrong with you ? herb ! xander : herb 's not here . nicole : but you said he was -- xander : yeah , i lied . i bet you 're wondering why i 'd do such a thing . right ? that 's ironic seeing as you 've been lying to me from the start , have n't you ? nicole : no , xander , i -- xander : do n't do it again ! you told me you wanted to see me tonight when you had no intention of following through , and right now you just lied to me again about who you were talking to on the phone . i saw the caller i d . it was daniel . it 's always been daniel . you led me on , nicole . that was a huge mistake . justin : you really do n't understand why this is a brilliant move ? paul would appeal to all of our target demos . he 's a superstar athlete . kate : a washed - up superstar athlete . justin : he 's young , he 's attractive , he has an international following , especially in japan . he 's even bilingual . kate : wow . there 's nothing he ca n't do , even splitting up sonny and will , and there 's nothing you would like better . justin : ah , ah , ah , ah , ah . this is a business discussion . kate : [ laughs ] no , it 's not . it 's about lucas having sex with your wife , and now you 're going after his son to get back at lucas . justin : will is causing plenty of misery all by himself . he does n't need my help . kate : really ? is n't that the reason that you went to san francisco ? to talk paul into coming back to salem ? and now you 're going to offer him a job to give him an excuse to stay . justin : if will and sonny 's marriage is so strong , it 's not gon na be a problem , and if it 's not , well , all your grandson has to do is look in the mirror and own up to who 's to blame . aiden : i wanted to talk to you about -- well , i - i know you 're committed to giving back to the community through charitable donations . of course , you 've already given a sizable gift to university hospital . clyde : i plan on giving more . aiden : well , in that case , there are tax benefits to establishing a charitable trust . might be something worth exploring if you 're interested . clyde : well , counselor , i 'm all in favor of exploring . i told you i hired the best attorney in town . rafe : you 're dropping it ? why ? hope : we 've been digging for weeks , and what have we got ? rafe : that never stopped us -- hope : weston 's dirty , i 'm sure of it , but he 's also an expert at covering his tracks . and i also got the same message you did from victor , loud and clear . rafe : oh , my god , weston 's behind what happened to sonny . hope : god , i 'm sure of it . rafe : that 's what this is all about . hope : yes , absolutely , but victor 's never going to admit it , and without proof , what do we got ? rafe : nothing . hope : exactly . rafe : ca n't do a damn thing . hope : victor 's backing off , waiting for this guy to trip himself up . rafe : mm - hmm . hope : and you know what , rafe , that 's the only thing to do . because honestly , i could n't live with myself if i kept pushing and got someone hurt , or worse . daniel : come on . maggie : mm - hmm . [ coughs ] ew . i like my glucose in the form of dessert , thank you very much . daniel : but your blood sugar 's up , and we 're about to blow this joint . as long as you promise me you 're gon na take better care of yourself . maggie : yes , sir . daniel : okay . maggie : listen , as long as -- thank you . as long as we 're here , could we take a peek in on little tate ? daniel : best medicine in the world . maggie : [ giggles ] oh , when i see that sweet innocent little face , it 's so easy to forget that the way he came into this world was anything but . daniel : yeah . come on . maggie : ah , thank you . oh , i need this . serena : so after the congo , i waited for instructions from xander . i was n't his only mule , and i knew that he could n't flood the market . eric : so he was n't interested in getting you back ? serena : he was n't interested in me to begin with . so then i went to europe , and i did the research that i should have done in the first place . then i started to find out even more frightening things about xander , and i could n't wait to be done with him . and years later , i finally get the go - ahead to deliver the diamonds . eric : and when you found out , you realized you did n't have them . serena : yeah . it took me awhile to figure out what had happened . then i saw this , and i knew for sure where they were . but i did n't want xander to go after you , so i just -- i told him there was a delay . eric : i 'm sure he was n't very happy to hear that . and he did n't give me much time . i had to come up with a reason to be in salem and -- eric : and to have a sudden urge to commune with my african artifacts , under the pretext that you wanted to see me . now i get why you could n't wait to get into my bedroom . so you could get your hands on those diamonds . nicole : okay , xander , you have to understand why i did n't want to tell you daniel called . you 've just been so jealous for no reason . xander : no reason ? i saw you last night , with him , kissing him . you been playing me from the start . what i do n't know is why . is he in on it too ? i guess it does n't really matter , not anymore . we 're all alone here . i 'll deal with you now , then i 'll deal with him . nicole : oh ! no , no , no ! xander : you think you 're smarter than me ? you , misty circle ? think you were too good for me ? how dare you . nicole : [ whimpers ] [ cries out ] kate : we are not offering him a job . justin : we are . this guy practically fell into our laps . kate : oh , that 's an unfortunate choice of words . justin : i thought john black was a friend of yours . now , does n't he deserve a chance to get to know his son ? kate : okay , okay , let 's not pull him into all of this . it 's not about him , it 's not about mad world . this is all about sonny . justin : make it happen . end of discussion . kate : you want it so much ? you do it . justin : oh . are you quitting ? i thought this job meant more to you than that . kate : [ scoffs ] justin : especially after what you were willing to do to your own son . or maybe you 're content at this point in your life to just let your sugar daddy , clyde , take care of you . clyde : i want to thank you for staying late so we could get this wrapped up . i 'm ... glad we 're on the same page . aiden : absolutely . clyde : much obliged , counselor . aiden : yeah . clyde : oh , say , how 'd your boy chase do in that ball game ? aiden : oh , pretty well . he hit a home run . clyde : no kidding . just like his old man , huh ? aiden : well . clyde : i can imagine how proud you must feel . yeah . being a dad is ... it 's the best thing in the world , is n't it ? aiden : sure is . clyde : take care . aiden : yeah , you too . hope : i made aiden uncomfortable enough about clyde , he was ready to drop him as a client , and i 'm afraid that could be very dangerous right now . rafe : did you tell aiden that ? hope : n -- of course -- are you kidding ? clyde would see right through him . rafe : so what 's aiden gon na do ? hope : i told him he should n't worry about clyde , that i was probably overreacting . rafe : so he 's keeping weston as a client ? hope : yeah . weston needs to feel safe , or he 's gon na trace this back to me and you . and then he 'll go after the people most vulnerable in our lives -- ciara , gabi . rafe : so we do nothing ? hope : the stakes are too high to do anything else . when he makes a mistake , we get one shot to take him down . maggie : ahh . daniel : feeling better ? maggie : how many times do i have to tell you i 'm fine ? if you want to worry about someone , worry about that little boy down the hall . daniel : medically , tate 's doing very well . maggie : i ca n't wait to get him home , spoil him . daniel : he 's so lucky to have you . maggie : theresa loves him very much . i - i just do n't think she 's ready . daniel : to take care of herself , let alone an infant ? maggie : yeah . you know , i been thinking . eric knows both of them , theresa and brady . i mean , is there some chance that he could speak to her , and , like , mediate between the two of them ? daniel : well , that sound like a good idea , but eric 's dealing with some -- some stuff right now , some personal issues . maggie : oh . oh , i 'm sorry to hear that . daniel : yeah , he 's just really stressed out , unfortunately , and ... i hope he 's okay . serena : okay , you 're right . at first it was just about the diamonds . i - i was not in love with you . but that changed , eric . when you and i got back together again , and -- and i saw what got away ... you are everything i ever wanted in a man . eric : stop it , stop it . serena : and i fell totally and completely in love with you , and that is not a lie . eric : yeah , well , you have a hell of a way of showing it . i 'm not gon na listen to this anymore . serena : wait , eric . wait , where -- where are you going ?

[ suspenseful music ] gabi : okay , it 's time to come clean . see , i know that when you were telling me that we 're gon na be okay and we 're gon na get over these life - and - death situations that you were just preventing me from panicking and you were trying to make me feel better . chad : well , it worked , did n't it ? gabi : yes , because you 're amazing . chad : true . gabi : but listen . i know you . i know that you were scared . chad : well , i - i - i - i 'd do anything to make you feel better , even appear to be scared . gabi : well , it 's hard to not be upset under the circumstances . chad : well , if you see the silver lining . gabi : and you think we have one here ? chad : i sure do . if the flare works and we get rescued , or we do n't , we 're , uh , we 're together ... and we 'll survive for as long as we have to . i know that much . abigail : [ sighs ] okay , no , but this does n't even make any sense . dario : of course it does . listen , we could even take thomas . we 'll make it like a family adventure . hey , we 'll go swimming , chill on the beach . abigail : you 're not thinking straight , dario . dario : oh , i am . i am thinking straight . i was n't thinking straight when i was gon na let you go by yourself . abigail : so how does that even work ? are you even allowed to leave the country ? dario : well , i probably need a fake identity to get back in . abigail : okay , that right there . that does not make any sense . so i do n't understand why you 're willing to take all of these risks right now . i personally do n't think you should be breaking any laws . dario : well , i would n't have to if ... abigail : if what ? dario : if , after you got your quickie divorce ... we got a quickie marriage , came back to salem husband and wife . this blue goo leaves a residue to make clothes appear brighter . chloe : yeah , i knew i could get you to stop crying , even though someone thinks that i could n't and that i 'm a bad mother . nancy : chloe , i never said you were a bad mother . chloe : well , you insinuated that i could n't comfort my own child and that you could . nancy : honey , i did n't mean to hurt your feelings . it 's ... i think you 're a wonderful mother . you 've done a remarkable job with parker and holly . chloe : thank you . nancy : it 's just ... i think that over the past few weeks , holly got attached to nicole and vice versa . chloe : so she 'll get unattached . nancy : maybe . but nicole wo n't . chloe : she 'll have to . nancy : chloe , that 's not gon na happen . she is nicole 's flesh and blood . chloe : do n't say that . nancy : but it 's true , sweetheart . genetically , holly is daniel and nicole 's child . and for that reason alone , nicole is never gon na give up on trying to get her child back . chloe : well , she 'll have no choice . nancy : it 's her only child . chloe : will you stop saying that ? `` her baby , `` `` her child , `` `` genetically hers . `` that is my child . i gave birth to her . she is legally mine . nancy : i know that . it 's obviously complicated , but ...

[ sighs ] what ? abigail : [ sighs ] i just ... i get that you are really desperate to get this whole thing resolved . but given the circumstances -- i mean , jj , chad , gabi , and everyone else that 's on that plane , we do n't even know if they 're still alive . so it just -- it does n't seem right to me for us to just run off and get married . dario : i told you before , i truly believe that everyone is fine . it 's just a matter of time before they find them . abigail : that 's great , and i 'm trying really hard to be optimistic too , but until they are actually found ... dario : and if -- no -- when they are found , are you gon na be okay getting married then ? or when chad does come back , are you hoping he comes back to you ? gabi : okay , so when you say maybe we can survive this together , what -- what do you mean ? what does that mean ? chad : what do i mean ? i mean that after everything that we 've been through , i know that you and i can survive anything together . gabi : i think so too . chad : good . now watch me shoot this flare up in the sky and save all of our lives . gabi : [ giggles ] chad : come on . gabi : careful . chad : ready ?

[ knock at door ] hi . jennifer : hey . got your message . abigail : yeah , i - i had a favor i wanted to ask you . jennifer : dario . dario : hey . abigail : is there any news about jj and the others ? jennifer : unfortunately , no . dario : i 'll be back . jennifer : so , a favor ? abigail : yeah , uh , i wanted to see if you could watch thomas for a few days . jennifer : yeah , of course . i love spending time with my grandson . why ? you going someplace ? abigail : i am . i am going to the dominican republic ... for a divorce . nancy : sweetheart , there 's nothing i want more than your happiness , but i just -- i do n't think you 're gon na find it here in salem . chloe : what does that even mean ? you do n't think i should live here ? nancy : no , i -- look . i do n't have a solution . all i know is that i have to get back to new york , and when i go , you 're not gon na have a support system , and i wonder who 's gon na take care of parker and holly when you 're at work . chloe : well , i will figure that out before you leave . nancy : okay . i just want you to make sure that you find someone neutral . chloe : neutral ? nancy : chloe , this is a small town . there are a lot of people that think that you should give holly back to nicole . not that i agree . kidnapping holly shows that nicole is not exactly stable , but you 're going to be running into a lot of her friends , and could get awkward . chloe : well , i will deal with that when the time comes . right now , i 've just got ta get to the club , okay ? nancy : what happens , chloe , when you run into nicole ? when she finds out about this singing gig , she is gon na jump on the chance to babysit . chloe : mom , can we not worry about something that has n't even happened yet ? as long as i have my two beautiful children , then it 'll all work out . nancy : if you say so . chloe : i do . i love you . thank you . good night . [ door closes ] brady : [ sighs ] you 've made me happy . i 'm happy . nicole : you happy ? brady : do n't worry . we wo n't be here for long . promise . it 's okay . as long as we have some privacy some of the time . brady : oh , trust me . i 'm gon na make sure of it . we do n't even have to eat with victor and the rest of the clan . we can -- we can hide out in the bedroom . you can lock the door . i 'll take you out every night , if you want . nicole : okay , that sounds perfect . and i guess it 's good for tate to be here , you know ? he 's used to it and gets a lot of attention . brady : that is important . but even more important , i think , we just need our own place . and i 'm gon na start looking tomorrow , if it 's okay with you . and one more thing . i do n't ever want to be apart from you either . ever . nicole : thank god i have you in my life . my best friend , my love . and even when things seem dark , you always find a way to make me feel better .

[ scoffs ] are you seriously asking me that ? jennifer : yeah . abigail : i ca n't even sleep at night i am so terrified thinking about chad and jj and gabi and everyone else that was on that plane , mom . the idea that i might never see them again is a complete nightmare . you know the last thing i said to chad ? the last thing ? we got in a -- we got in a fight . we got into an argument , and we walked away from each other like we were complete strangers . so the idea that i might never get to see him again , that i might never get to tell him i 'm sorry , that `` i love you . i did n't mean to hurt you , `` that `` i never stopped loving you '' -- jennifer : abigail , that is why i 'm asking you to think about this decision . abigail : i ca n't , mom ! if i do n't go and act now , then dario 's gon na be in a mess . jennifer : dario ? no , he wo n't . he will find a way . this is not just about his life . this decision will affect your life too , so i 'm just asking you , can you at least just wait ? wait till chad comes home . abigail : okay , but what if chad does n't come home , mom ? and so then , on top of that -- on top of all of that , dario gets deported because i did n't -- jennifer : i do n't think that 's gon na happen . abigail : you do n't know ! mom , you do not know ! jennifer : what i know is that you love chad . abigail : just stop ! jennifer : you love him and he loves you . abigail : stop it , please ! stop ! i am so sick and tired ! you talk about chad 's needs ! dario talks about what he wants ! what about me ? does anybody care about me ? i am one person ! can you please just at least be on my side ? because i 'm getting pulled back and forth and back and forth . i swear i 'm gon na snap . jennifer : abigail ... abigail : stop . jennifer : do n't you say that . do not say that . abigail : i wo n't . i wo n't . i wo n't . i 'm sorry . whatever happens , i 'm gon na handle it , okay ? i will , but i need you to stop telling me what 's right and what 's wrong , who loves me , who does n't love me . mom , i 've had enough . [ groans ] [ door closes ] chad : what are you thinking ? gabi : thinking about arianna . how much i miss her . how much i wan na hold her . what if she 's scared ? and i know that you 're thinking about thomas too . chad : i am . gabi : chad , if i did n't have you -- chad : you do . you do .

[ phone rings ] [ phone beeps ] brady : hello ? uh , no , you can . you can reach nicole walker here . she 's not available right now . can i take a message ?

marlena : thank you . john : that was some good work tonight , doc . marlena : i was n't too aggressive ? john : it was n't easy . i mean , you had to convince our daughter to stay with hope tonight , and the same time , had to convince her that claire was gon na be all right here with us . i thought you handled it very skillfully . marlena : thanks . as much as i would have loved to have belle with us , i think it 's more important that claire get a good night 's sleep . she is exhausted . claire : no , no , no . i thought it was , and it is . yeah , it 's her . ciara : okay , look , claire , i did n't want to be rude before , but i was right in the middle of something when you came in and i 'm just gon na have to ask you to leave , like , now . claire : ciara , no , no , no , you do n't understand , the woman on this flyer , i know her . ciara : no , claire , that is -- that is really impossible . claire : well , i 'm telling you the truth . ciara : okay . claire : why are you looking for her ? ciara : look , i know that you want to be helpful , right , but the woman that you 're talking about probably just looks a lot like this one and the situation is very , very serious . we ca n't waste our time going on a wild - goose chase , okay ? claire : do you think i 'm making this up ? ciara : no , i did n't say that -- claire : `` have you seen this woman ? call 555 - 0190 . `` well , i have seen this woman , ciara -- actually , more than seen her , i know her , and i can tell you exactly what she 's been up to : hiding out from her ex - boyfriend ! jake : this about gabi 's trial tomorrow ? you want me to testify ? lani : what do you know about her disappearance ? jake : `` her `` who ? eli : gabi dimera . [ dramatic music ] jake : sorry , i -- i do n't follow . how do you know she 's missing ? eli : for starters , this statement from her daughter 's father . jake : her daughter 's father ? eli : will horton . he and his husband sonny reported that gabi dimera was headed over to see you . that was the last time somebody saw her . lani : unless you saw her . eli : want to give us the details ? did gabi show up at your place ? jimmy : oh , what 's shaking , jake ? jake : what the hell are you doing ? jimmy : i -- i would n't -- i would n't do that . gabi : he 's got a gun , okay ? jake : let her go . your business is with me . jimmy : well , you know what i 'm after , so hand it over . gabi : whatever it is , just give it to him . jake : i do n't have it . gabi : what the hell 's wrong with you ? jake : i am telling you the truth -- i do n't have it . jimmy : well , then you better go get it , or i 'm gon na off your little wife right here , and now . gabi : jake , jake , just -- just tell him to let me go . i have nothing to do with this . jake : she 's right . she doesn't . jimmy : well , she was in your apartment . jake : why ? gabi : i -- just let me go , okay ! i have a daughter waiting for me at home . jimmy : yeah , and i have a boss waiting for answers . jake : okay , look , i do n't have what you want but i can get it and i promise you i will . just do n't hurt her , all right ? she 's right ; she has nothing to do with this . jimmy : okay , fine . i 'll give you 24 hours to bring me what i need . jake : all right , you got yourself a -- hey ! gabi : [ shouting ] jake : hey , hey , come on ! do n't hurt her ! what are you -- hang on ! damn it ! like i told will and sonny , i did n't see gabi . but you two already knew that because you took their statements . lani : you could have lied to them . eli : but now you 're gon na tell us the truth . will : well , anyway , i should let you get back to work . ben : and i 'll be in touch about the best man gig . will : oh , yeah , yeah . and again , i 'm sorry if it seemed like i was accusing you of lying earlier . i just -- i really do n't think gabi would just abandon ari like this . ben : well , i 'm sure gabi will turn up soon . will : yeah , i mean , me too . especially now that the police are looking for her . ben : wait , what ? will : yeah , i mean , normally , they have to wait 48 hours until they can start looking for somebody , but abe 's a friend , so sonny and i called him and asked him for help . ben : and he called in the salem pd ? will : he called in eli and lani , and they agreed to do it on the down low . jake : please do not bring the cops into this . ciara : why ? jake : hang up the phone and i 'll tell you . please ! [ phone beeps ] 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 's gabi 's brother . all right ? that means that we can trust him . he 's not gon na let anything bad happen to her . 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 . ciara : right . ben : 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 . jake : i appreciate your help , but your fiancée ... she does n't look too happy . ben : it 's up to you . ciara : so you told ben that you found out your ex flew to chicago and then took a train to salem ? jake : uh - huh . ben : then nothing . it 's like she disappeared . ciara : all right , well , do you have any idea why she might 've been headed here ? jake : no , she never even mentioned this town . so i need somebody who knows this place inside out . ciara : well , you 're in luck because you 've come to the right people . jake : you sure ? ben : if ciara says we 're in ... ciara : then we 're in . so do you think that there 's a possibility she might still be hiding out somewhere near here or ? jake : all i know is there 's no proof that she left this place . ciara : well , do you at least have a picture of her ? jake : that i do . that 's her . that 's gwen . now all we have to do is find her . ciara : before it 's too late for gabi . will : ben , is something wrong ? ben : what ? no , nothing 's wrong . i 'm just surprised you wanted the police involved . will : why would n't i ? ben : i mean , gabi jumped bail , did n't she ? and if eli and lani are the ones who find her , they 're not exactly impartial . they 're gon na throw the book at her , will . i did n't think you 'd want that happening to your child 's mother . will : well , i would n't , but , i mean , first of all , i do n't believe she jumped bail . and even if she had , she would -- she would have been in touch by now . ben : are you sure about that ? maybe she knew you 'd call the cops . will : it 's not about me . it 's not about the cops . she would never stay away this long without checking in on ari . that 's why i 'm really afraid something bad happened to her . gabi : help ! help me ! somebody , help me ! help ! help ! jimmy : will you shut the hell up already ? gabi : no , i 'm not gon na shut the hell up , okay ? because you were stupid enough to take my gag off , so i 'm gon na scream as much as i want . help ! jimmy : i 'm the stupid one ? we 're in the middle of nowhere and these walls are three feet thick . that 's why i took your gag off . nobody can hear you . gabi : why the hell do you care if i scream ? jimmy : because you 're annoying the hell out of me and you 're breaking my eardrums . no wonder your husband dumped you . gabi : he did n't dump me ! he died , okay ? but then he came back . jimmy : whatever you say . gabi : i am telling you the truth . jimmy : yeah , really , i do n't give a damn about who dumped who or anything else about your pathetic little life . all i really care about is it 's been 24 hours and still no word from jake , so ... it looks like your time 's up . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ sweeping orchestral music ] gabi : look , there 's no reason for you to jump the gun . like i told you , jake is not my husband . i mean , it 's possible . even if he -- he just -- he does n't realize , okay ? stefan -- stefan could be buried inside that lame mechanic , but i was trying to do that , i was trying to reach him , but then if you had n't interrupted -- jimmy : sorry for the inconvenience , but jake has something my boss wants , and i need it back . gabi : okay ! okay , good , yes ! maybe i can help you get it . jimmy : yeah ? how are you gon na that ? gabi : i ran an international conglomerate , okay ? i can help you find whatever it is you 're looking for . my husband -- my late husband , he left me very well off , and i can find the cash to finance that search . jimmy : thanks . but i got more than enough cash and i 'm very well paid too , by someone who would n't like it very much if i crossed him , so thanks for the offer , but i 'm not interested . gabi : well , there must be something i can do . jimmy : no , the only thing i 'm interested in is finding out what jake 's gon na do . so you better hope you did n't turn him off like you probably do everybody else . because your fate is in his hands . jake : i 'm telling you the truth . sonny and will say gabi was on her way to my place but she never showed . eli : that 's all there is to it ? jake : all right . i did leave out one part , and that is the part where gabi tried to get my dna . does that sound normal to you ? the lady 's obsessed with me . lani : okay , so she did n't show up to your place . when is the last time you actually did see her ? jake : well , actually , it was right here a couple of days ago , when she tried to inject me with that deadly hallucinogen , and she claimed that it was to get me to remember that i 'm her dead husband , which i 'm not , and thank god she did n't inject me with that crap or i 'd have lost my mind ! eli : but she did n't drug you . jake : lucky for me , she did not . and , hey , i suggest you stop wasting your time with me and go find that lunatic before she hurts somebody else . hell , i heard she does n't like you two very much . she could be waiting to jab one of you next . [ phone rings ] ciara : okay , so this girl , she said she was running away from her ex- boyfriend , but do you know why ? claire : well , i know the two of them fought a ton , so she finally got fed up with him and left , and i know she took off from philadelphia . ciara : philadelphia ? claire : that 's what she said . ciara : yeah , that 's where her ex - boyfriend 's from , too . claire : how do you know that ? wait , do you know him ? ciara : yeah , yeah , ben is actually working for that guy . claire : oh , my god . ciara : yeah , all right , but , look , claire , you have been at bayview for two years and this woman only left philly a couple months ago . how is it possible that you know her ? claire : you seriously still do n't believe me ? ciara , i just told you where this woman is from , where her boyfriend 's from , and i know that her name is gwen . ciara : [ scoffs ] ciara : okay . okay , so you know her name . it 's clear that you know a few things about her . but the important thing is , do you know where she is ? it 's the 6 : 10 will : so you 're reading dostoyevsky , huh ? sonny : yeah , i read `` notes from the underground `` a few years ago , but have n't tackled this one . will : yeah , me neither . sonny : one of these days . so how did it go ? did you talk to ben ? will : yeah , yeah , i figured it 'd be better to do it in person just in case jake was strong - arming him or something . sonny : well , yeah , it 's much easier to cover something like that up on the phone . will : exactly . sonny : so was he covering ? will : not as far as i can tell . he stuck to his story , said he had no idea where gabi is . sonny : and you believed him ? will : i did . and then ... sonny : then ? will : we sort of just , like , got to talking . sonny : about anything special ? will : yeah , kind of . he asked me to be his best man . [ phone rings ] lani : you 're not thinking about answering that , are you ? eli : we 're not done with you yet . jake : look , i told you everything i know . gabi went over to my place , i do n't know anything about it . i got to say , i 'm a little surprised that you two even give a damn about what happens to her . eli : why would n't we care ? jake : well , maybe because she had her dead husband 's heart transplanted into your grandmother 's chest only to threaten to blow her up , and at your wedding no less , all to get you to dump this guy at the altar . so if gabi really did decide to lam it to avoid her court date tomorrow , i 'm surprised you two do n't just relax and enjoy it instead of sitting here and hounding me about it . and hey , i told you everything i know . i have n't done anything wrong , so i 'd like to get going . that is unless you 're gon na arrest me . john : hey , hey , hey , hey , everything 's fine , belle . i promise you . claire is in bed asleep . in fact , mom just went in to check in her just now . yeah , yeah , yeah , all right , all right , you and shawn try to get some sleep . we 'll see you first thing in the morning . yeah , love you too . belle just called again . she 's checking in on -- what 's wrong ? marlena : claire 's bed is empty . she 's gone .

ben : i 've been okay . claire : yeah . ben : yeah . claire : i mean , i know how happy you and ciara are together , and that makes me super happy , too . ben : thank you . claire : yeah . oh , i am just relieved to be here , not at bayview . and i know you of all people can understand that , right ? ben : i do , i do , yes . claire : i mean , no , i was glad to get the help i needed , but the whole atmosphere there is kind of depressing , right ? ben : oh , yeah . claire : oh , my god , the food is just so bland and disgusting . ben : i know . claire : worst part is definitely some of the residents . i mean , ben , there is mentally ill and then there is completely off the rails , you know what i mean ? so there was this one guy who just kept shouting these profanities at the top of his lungs , like , all day long . and there was this one woman -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . oh , wow , i am rambling . i -- i 'm just really happy to be here and to see y ' all so happy together , like i said . ben : right , right , yeah , no , we are . and , claire , i do n't really mean to be rude at all , but would you mind maybe going back to your grandparents ' place ? i just -- i need to talk to ciara alone . it 's really important . claire : oh , is it about gwen ? i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis . john : nope , nowhere to be found . marlena : oh , dear , same here . john : we need to call belle and shawn . marlena : you know , hold off on that . i mean , let 's just not worry them unnecessarily , okay ? john : doc , they entrusted us with their daughter . marlena : yes , we are her legal guardians . she 's not being held hostage here . she can come and go as she pleases . john : yeah , i know that , doc . but this is her first night here , and what she do ? she sneaks out . marlena : i -- i just -- '' sneaking out `` is an odd phrase to use for a grown adult . john : okay , so if she 's a grown adult , why did n't she telling us where she 's going ? marlena : well , because -- oh . because she knew we would n't go along with it . john : what do you mean ? marlena : i think i know exactly where she is . ben : how would you know anything about gwen ? ciara : claire saw the flyer and she recognized her . claire : because i know her . ben : what -- how ? ciara : i did n't believe it at first either , but i just -- i figured that the person that claire is talking about looked like gwen , but then claire knew that she was from philadelphia , she knew that she was running from her ex- boyfriend , and she even knew gwen 's name without me even saying anything , so i 'm -- i think this is pretty legit . ben : yeah , but it does n't make any sense . how would you know who this girl is when you 've been locked up in bayview for the past two years ? ciara : hey , is she one of your followers ? did she reach out to you online ? because i that know sometimes your fans can get really attached and they think that they 're your friends , so if that 's how you know her -- claire : you know what , you know what , i think i 've said too much already . look , she 's a really good person ; i do n't want to get her in trouble . ben : claire , listen to me , this is really important . somebody 's life is at stake here . ciara : and finding gwen may be the only chance we have to save her . claire : what are you talking about ? i 'm sorry , whose life is at stake ? ciara : gabi 's . look , please , claire ... gabi is ... the mother of will 's child , and that makes her family . you said you wanted to rebuild our relationship , so ... go ahead . tell us everything that you know . sonny : so ben asked you to be his best man . wow , that 's one for the books , huh ? did you find a polite way to get out of it ? will : um , no . actually , i said yes . sonny : seriously ? will , ben put us through hell . for god 's sakes , i thought he killed you . we lost so much time because of him . will : yeah , i know , i know . i mean , it 's strange , but he and i are friends now . sonny : you 're friends ? will : yeah . i -- we went through so much together at statesville . i mean , he saved my life in there , and he 's a different person now . he 's a good person . i truly believe that . and trust me , i know it 's hard to understand , but can you -- can you try ? sonny : i mean , i guess i can . i definitely admire you for being so forgiving and opening your heart to the guy . but that 's just who you are . that 's one of the reasons i love you . will : well , i love you too . sonny : and , i guess , i will happily be your date to the wedding . will : sweet . sonny : but we do have a big problem that we need to focus on . will : gabi . sonny : yes . if she does not show up to court tomorrow , she 's gon na be in a lot of legal trouble . will : i 'm afraid she 's gon na be in a lot more trouble than that . arianna : daddy , i ca n't sleep . i miss mommy . will : oh , sweetheart , come here . yeah , i know . i know you do . lani : you 're not under arrest , jake . eli : not yet anyway . lani : but we do have a couple things that we need to check out , so if you do n't mind waiting . jake : actually , i do mind . eli : oh , well , do n't worry . we wo n't be gone long . you never know , the time alone may give you extra time to think and jog your memory . we 'll be back .

you did n't think that we would notice you were gone ? claire : well , i thought maybe you had gone to sleep . marlena : no . no , in fact , i went to check on you and then you were n't there . i 'm just gon na text to john and let him know that you 're all right . claire : how did you even know i was here ? marlena : well , that was n't too hard to figure out . i knew that you wanted to make amends . i just -- i wish you had said something to us before -- before you left . claire : i know , i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry . i hope you 're not too upset . i just -- i was n't sure if you 'd want me going out on my first night back home , and i just really needed to see ciara . marlena : okay . you 've seen her . let 's go . good night , you two . claire : good night . ciara : no , no , no , wait , wait , not yet . ben : dr. evans , we really need to talk to claire . she might have some information that could save gabi 's life . marlena : gabi ? what 's wrong with gabi ? ciara : yeah , gabi 's in danger . look , it 's a really long story and we promise that we 're gon na tell you everything , but if we do n't find this girl , then we ca n't help gabi . marlena : what does claire have to do with this ? ciara : well , claire told us that she knows her and we 've been trying to convince claire to tell us where she is . claire : but , see , i 'm not sure if that 's a good idea . see , i really like this woman . she 's been very friendly to me , and i just do n't want to get her in trouble . marlena : well , look , if gabi 's in trouble ... well , if her life is at stake , just -- somebody else being in trouble is not a big deal , do n't you think ? not when you can save a person 's life . claire : i guess . marlena : okay . well , you came here to make amends , why do n't you do that ? claire : [ sighs ] gwen 's at bayview . marlena : hmm , i do n't recognize this person . are you sure you 've seen her at bayview ? claire : oh , yes . but she is kind of private . she mostly keeps to herself . marlena : you ca n't exactly hide from the doctors there . i 'm on staff . i would know if somebody would try to do that . claire : oh , i did n't say she hides , but makes sense that you have n't seen her there because , um , she 's not really sick . marlena : what does that mean ? claire : it means that she was trying to get away from her boyfriend . she needed a place to lie low for a while , so ... she faked a breakdown . and see , when she left him , she was very upset with him , so she took some of his stuff . and ever since , he 's been calling her constantly , you know , totally harassing her . marlena : is he dangerous ? claire : i do n't know . well , she did say that he was mixed up with some very scary people . that 's why she needed to hide out for a while . she could n't take the chance of anyone coming after her . ben : and now these people have gabi . that 's it , we have to go to bayview . we have to find gwen , we got ta talk to her , and see what she knows . claire : you ca n't do that . it 's past visiting hours . ben : well , not for everybody . right , dr . evans ? could you maybe come with us ? they will definitely let us in if you come with us , especially if we tell them it 's an emergency . claire : okay , well , i need to go , too . look , i 'm the only one here that gwen knows . if she 's gon na open up to anybody , it 's gon na be me . marlena : no , no , no . the only place you 're going is home . claire : grandma , please , i just -- marlena : no , no , no . we 're done here . i promised your parents i would take care of you . ben : dr. evans , what about you ? would you come with us ? ciara : yeah , will you help us ? eli : that guy definitely knows more than he 's letting on . lani : you think he 's hiding something . eli : we let him stew for a while , he might give us something we can use . lani : well , i guess that 's all we can hope for . we still have another 24 hours to go before gabi is officially considered a missing person , and then we can charge anyone with her disappearance . eli : so the best thing we can try to do right now is try to intimidate jake . i mean , make him believe that if he does n't give us the information we want , things can only go from bad to worse . jake : okay , first off -- and i wanted you to hear this from me -- i 'm at the police station . jimmy : you 're talking to the cops ? jake : no , i have n't said anything , nothing . jimmy : so why the hell are you talking to them ? jake : you think i came here voluntarily ? listen , i think it 'll be best for both of us if the cops believe that i 'm cooperating , okay ? but they 've got nothing to hold me on so i 'll be getting out of here pretty soon , and i can give you back what i took from your boss , and you can let gabi go , and our business will be done . i just need a few hours . jimmy : you 've got three . but you better not be bluffing . jake : oh , no , believe me , i 'm not . i got as much to lose here as you do . eli : who were you talking to ? when migraine strikes , marlena : all right . i will go to bayview and see if i can find gwen . ciara : oh , thank you so much . ben : i 'm going with you . ciara : so will i . ben : no , actually , ciara , would you mind staying here ? i left a few messages for jake . he has n't gotten back to me yet . ciara : okay . ben : i think he might come back here instead . ciara : all right , so you want me to bring him up to speed on gwen ?

[ scene_break ] john : you and i have nothing to feel guilty about . when i made love to you , when i asked you to marry me , we both thought roman and marlena were dead . kate : that 's true . john : you know , i 'm wrong feeling jealous and suspicious of them anyway . i mean , it 's only natural that they would grow closer when they were being held by tony . i mean , i 'm sure they leaned on each other . they 've got a history . and i 'm sure there 's nothing romantic about it . in fact , i 'm kind of glad that they were there for each other . kate : do you really believe that , or are you just trying to convince yourself because you accused marlena of having feelings for roman ? john : of course i feel bad about accusing her , especially knowing how the two of them felt when they saw us together . look , i stole roman 's life from him once already . kate : the dimeras stole roman 's life . anything that happened , all of that -- none of that was your fault . john : yes , it was . roman comes back . i 'm supposed to step aside and supposed to move on with my life without marlena , right ? wrong . what do i do ? i make love to his wife , knowing full well that we were breaking their wedding vows . marlena 's one of the most morally upstanding people that i know . i corrupted her . kate : no , that 's not true . that 's not true . you and marlena fell in love . i do n't think there 's any shame in that . you exchanged marriage vows as well . john : yeah , but our marriage was n't valid once it was revealed i was n't roman . kate : well , actually , your marriage is n't valid now . marlena was legally declared dead . you do n't feel that she 's any less your wife , do you ? john : no . but that 's another good point in favor of renewing our vows . and perhaps you and roman should think about doing the same thing .

will 's actions ? look at where we are ! will almost got himself killed , and he almost got my son killed . your daughter did kill someone last night . the safest thing that has happened recently is your whole mess with brady , kristen , and john . that was just embarrassing . come on , marlena , put yourself in my shoes . if your child was getting involved in a family like this , would n't you speak up ? did n't you speak up when sami said she was marrying a dimera ? marlena : that 's got nothing to do with will or sonny or their relationship . adrienne : fine , fine , fine ! sonny deserves better . marlena : sonny is lucky to have will . will is the best thing that ever happened to him . ej : look , the bail hearing 's being set , so i need you to get in place . now i want this handled as quickly and as quietly as is possible , all right ?

i bet you are . sonny : i 'm awake . i brought her out here so that gabi could sleep in . ben : hey , you . abigail : hey , hi . ben : you okay ? abigail : yeah , just , uh , busy , too much to do . ca n't stop . sorry . ben : i pushed too far yesterday . i got it . but do n't worry , i 'll back off . rafe : i 'm so glad that you did not let me push you away . jordan : i could n't . i love you too much . rafe : [ groans ] oh , my god . jennifer : i tried calling you and texting . hoping you would be free so we could have some time together . daniel : i texted you back . did n't you get them ? jennifer : i did . they just seemed a little terse , so i assumed you were swamped . daniel : well , jen , the truth is , i think that we ... we need some space . and -- and yeah , i have -- i have been swamped . i 've got to do a review for the surgical residence , i have a slew of charts . i have to get ready for parker coming home . jennifer : you know , no one is that swamped , and we do n't need space . we just -- we just need to talk . right now . white : so , dr. chyka was creating some highly sophisticated drugs for ms . dimera . eric : three , yes . one was a powerful aphrodisiac . one was to erase my memory . the other was a masking agent to hide everything from a normal blood test . white : there were , um , more pages than these ? eric : yes , your excellency . but those were the only ones that were recovered so far . white : well , someone clearly tried to destroy them . eric : they were reconstructed , piece by piece . white : how did you , uh , come by these , eric ? nicole : sami , please . it 's early , i have a splitting headache , no sleep , go away . sami : well , nicole . why do you look so distraught ? oh , right , 'cause your engagement is in the toilet . why 'd my brother dump you ? nicole : i 'm not getting into this with you , sami . sami : oh , i 'm going to hear the whole story from him . so i 'm going to give you first dibs . let 's hear it , the nicole walker spin . how deep do the lies go ? or let me put it a different way . what did you do to my brother ? kate : [ sighs contentedly ] rafe : hey . kate : hey . both : so ... this ... this was a mistake . will : she 's doing okay , right ? sonny : well , she misses her mom . will : yeah . she keeps looking around for her . sonny : she 's a strong baby . healthy . will : she 's also a blabbermouth , are n't you ? how many words are you going to say today ? sonny : oh , will , did you see the schedule that i made for who takes care of ari and when ? will : i did , yeah . it looks good . it 's definitely going to be harder with just the two of us , but we 'll make it work . sonny : hey . so , there 's going to be some adjustments around here . but we 're going to be fine . right , ari ? will : [ laughs ] ben : listen , i 'm going to leave you alone from now on . just take care . abigail : wait , no . ben , wait . i - i 'm sorry . i - i - it 's not -- i just had a huge project dumped on me yesterday . ben : so this is n't about you and me ? the thing in the park ? abigail : no ! no , god , no . i - i - i enjoyed our thing in the park . and thank you again for helping me take my mind off of -- you know . ben : yeah . so this project , uh ... abigail : is a favor of the gigantic variety . but just give me two days , and then i will definitely see you . ben : okay . abigail : i ca n't wait to pick up right where we left off . see you . eric : the papers came to me through a friend . dr. daniel jonas . i 'm sure you remember me speaking about him . white : i do , yes . eric : right after kristen poisoned me , daniel was convinced that he could trace the drugs . eventually , when he uncovered dr. chyka 's name , he tracked him down last february . and that 's when we found the evidence . white : four months ago ? why did he hold on to them so long ? eric : well , i - i beg your pardon . daniel did n't get the evidence until just a few days ago . he was n't the one who kept it hidden . white : who was ? eric : nicole walker . nicole : okay , sami . you want to know ? here it is . i committed a crime , a really big crime . sami : yeah , i 'll bet . nicole : i loved your brother , too much as it turns out . sami : oh , stop ! you 're not gon na take an opportunity to ... nicole : but let 's not forget about what eric did to me . sami : go on some long - winded self - serving diatribe ... nicole : what he did was a much bigger crime than what i did . sami : about my brother when the only person you love is yourself . nicole : he accused me of something horrible , something so horrible , something i did n't do , something i would never do . sami : oh , there 's no crime you would n't do . nicole : i did not drug and rape your brother . sami : hey , hey , you keep your voice down . nicole : after he accused me of what i just said ... i forgave him . and for good measure , i risked my life trying to clear his name while his evil twin turned on him and crawled into bed with a man who knew what kristen was up to and probably helped her do it . so you wan na know who 's wrong here ? i suggest you whip out that compact , honey , and take a good , long look at the selfish bitch who made her brother suffer . sami : all right , fine . i 'm dirt and you 're perfect . but if you 're so wonderful , why did eric break up with you ? nicole : i do n't know . why did he accuse me of drugging him and raping him ? because he was confused . once he realizes what i did i did for love , he will change his mind about me . sami : you think ? nicole : oh , my god , sami . god , i almost died trying to help him ! once he remembers that , he will see that what i did , all the mistakes that i made wo n't mean anything , not in the long run . sami : mistakes , yes , that 's what i 'm interested in . i 'm interested in those mistakes . nicole : and now he has the proof that kristen drugged him because of me , because i loved him . sami : right , i get it . nicole : and so when he asked me to marry him , i said yes . sami : you love him , he loves you . i want to get to the part about the big 180 where he changed his mind . nicole : all that matters is our love . he chose me , i had the proof . okay , so maybe i wavered a little bit . sami : wait , wait -- nicole : but i know he 's gon na forgive me . sami : what ? jennifer : daniel , we promised that we would never let anything come between us again . and this whole misunderstanding about nicole , it -- it hurt you , more than i realized . but we can get past this . i know we can . we just need to talk openly and freely . and the longer we wait to do that -- daniel : okay , i really do n't think now is the time . jennifer : okay ... when ? daniel : well , frankly i do n't think we ever -- jennifer : [ sighs ] daniel : okay , right . no , we , uh , we can . we can talk . so , y - you go . jennifer : okay . daniel : you go ahead . jennifer : first , i am so sorry that i told eric the truth about nicole . daniel : okay , jennifer , that 's never been what upset me . yes , i wanted to give nicole one more shot to come clean . and i totally understand why you did what you did . i 'm fine with that . jennifer : so then , i do n't -- daniel : it 's what you think of me . the kind of person that you think i am . jennifer : no , wait a minute , y - you need to back up . daniel : no , i do n't . jennifer : you took everything that i said completely out of context , daniel . daniel : no , no you made it crystal clear what you thought of me . i asked you point - blank to tell me the truth . jennifer : no , but the way that i chose my words -- daniel : and you did n't . jennifer : please , i am sorry . give me a chance to explain . daniel : there 's nothing . there 's nothing to explain . there 's nothing you can say that 's going to change what either one of us feels . believe me , it hurts like hell , but i got it . rafe : well , seems like we 're on the same page . kate : totally . it could n't have happened at a worse time . rafe : so why did it ? kate : [ sighs ] sweetheart , last night , i saw a man that i care about in terrible pain . you were blaming yourself for what happened to gabi and i mean you were in a terrible place . rafe : oh . so this was out of pity . kate : [ laughs ] no . no . i enjoyed every minute of it . every second of it , actually , but ... it happened because both of us were drinking , so ... rafe : well , i was . you were n't . kate : whatever . okay ? it ca n't happen again . no one can find out . it would ruin everything . [ phone ringing ] jordan : hey , ben . ben : i 'm at the club . free coffee when you walk in the door . jordan : no , i ca n't . ben : you need coffee , sis . just be here . jordan : okay . uh , just give me a few . [ sighs ] if only i could help you through this . i should go to his place and have it out with him right now . will : these are amazing . abigail : great , awesome . they 're actually a bribe to get you to help me plan sami and ej 's wedding . will : what ? abigail : i 'm totally serious . sami dumped this on me yesterday , and i will literally get dragged away in a straitjacket if i do n't have help . so , i 'm thinking of , i do n't know like a -- like a summery , flowery theme , maybe ? will : abigail , hang on . sometimes my mom does weird things . sonny : yeah , i do n't -- i do n't know if ej 's gon na be down with this . will : have you run this by ej yet ? abigail : look , you guys , this got dumped on me , okay ? yes , ej was there . will you please help me ? sonny : you know , abigail , people who are planning weddings usually are sort of ... happy . will : you do n't really want to do this , do you ? but my mom is making you , is n't she ? abigail : yeah . kate : [ sighs ] rafe : so , by , `` no one can find out , `` i 'm assuming you mean jordan , right ? kate : yes . yes , of course , i mean , i know how you two feel about each other . rafe : why let one small mistake ruin things for us , right ? kate : absolutely . absolutely . look , i should get going right now . [ distant clatter ] kate : what was that ? rafe : someone 's out in the hall . ben : needed some coffee , right ? get some life in those eyes . jordan : well , do i look that bad ? ben : hey , i 'm your brother , so i get to stay anything i want . but you never look bad . does look like you had a rough night , though . jordan : could n't sleep . must 've checked my phone a dozen times . ben : nothing from rafe ? jordan : no . you were right . he just needs some time alone so he can work through things . ben : mm - hmm . jordan : i 'm just so used to seeing him , being around him . you know , last night was really hard . jennifer : daniel , i know that i hurt you . and that 's why i 'm here , because i want to make this right . and i want to try to make you understand that what i was doing -- [ knock at door ] daniel : mom ? maggie : i just heard about gabi and melanie . and i thought my heart was -- i 'm sorry , forgive me . is this a bad time ? jennifer : no . no , of course not , aunt maggie . daniel : oh , hey , come on , mom . maggie : [ cries ] daniel : it 's okay . white : well , took a good look at your evidence . afterwards , i 'll need to interview you , of course . and i 'll need everyone else involved . dr. jonas , ms . walker . eric : understood . white : i hope you realize with so much material still missing , any conclusion i draw will be ... uncertain . eric : yes , your excellency . but i hope you understand that i would 've never brought you those papers unless i was positive that they were authentic . up until a few days ago , i assumed i would be out of salem ... married ... trying to build ... white : let 's just see this -- how this goes , shall we ? i ca n't make any promises . but , if things turn out , perhaps your case can be reopened . your entire life , your future could change . eric : thank you . that gives me hope . sami : you had this wavering thing ... and then eric said the `` i love you `` ? nicole : n - no , no . no . sami : no , that 's what you said . nicole : no , i was , i could -- okay , i was wavering . but eric was cruel to me , remember ? sami : yeah . but then you forgave him , remember ? and then you risked your life to help him get the proof to clear his name , and then -- nicole : he chose me . and he chose my love , and i said , `` yes . `` sami : you know , my mother always wondered what happened when you were alone with that wacko doctor . nicole : ugh , okay , dr. chyka is a creep . you would n't want to be alone in a room with him . sami : but is that when you got the proof ? nicole : no . i got the proof of -- because of my hard work at the station , and searching on the internet , and working through really hard -- sami : no , no . you got the proof then . but because my brother said that he loved you , you kept it a secret , you kept it from him . nicole : okay , stop making up stories . sami : you selfish bitch ! nicole : oh , that 's rich ... coming from someone who made her brother suffer just so she could be a dimera whore . sami : ugh .

see , i 've been -- i 've been thinking about what 's gone on between us sort of non - stop , actually , and i -- wh - when rebecca died ... i - i really lost myself . i did whatever , never gave a damn . i did some things that i 'm not really proud of . jennifer : yeah , but you changed . daniel : yes , i did , eventually , after i met you . because you seemed to think that i was a good guy . jennifer : you 're a great guy . daniel : well , i - i have n't always done the right thing , but yeah , i think eventually , you know , i got that sense of what 's right and wrong again . i had it . a - and i was on top of things again , and things were looking up . jennifer : yes , and they are still -- everything is still okay . we just need to put this situation with nicole in perspective , daniel . daniel : well , that 's -- that is what i did . see , aside from my kids , maggie , a few friends ... i do n't really give a damn what people think of me . but i 've always cared what you think . and no matter what 's gone on between us , you were that one person i wanted to have a good opinion of me . jennifer : and i do . i do ! daniel : no , you do not ! that is what i finally realized . you ca n't hide your feelings , jennifer . i saw it in your eyes . you saw me as a liar . jennifer : no ! daniel , i -- daniel : you thought i would be willing to lie to myself , to others , to you , and allow someone to be hurt ... that i would do anything , immoral , amoral , whatever , that i did n't measure up as a person . that 's the real me ? jennifer : no . daniel : yes . i can not be with someone who does n't believe in me . no matter what you say , you essentially told me ... that i was n't the man i thought i was , in your eyes . and it hurts like hell , but i swear to god -- jennifer : no , that is not true , daniel . i am so sorry that i said that . daniel : mm - mm . jennifer : please , if i could take it back , i -- please . can we please just give me a chance to start over ? daniel : no . jennifer : and we can , daniel . daniel : no , we can not . you ca n't unsay what you said . it does n't change what you meant . no , we ca n't . kate : yes , yes . the man in the photo is somehow connected to jordan ridgeway . i do n't know . that 's your job , remember ? just use ben rogers to finally get the truth on jordan . ben : you told jordan you wanted space . what , and now you want her out of your life ? rafe : hey , so my track record sucks when it comes to women who need my help , okay ? ben : who says jordan needs your help ? rafe : oh , she does n't ? hmm ? she 's not running scared from anything ? yeah . i do n't know a damn thing about her past or yours , and i never told a damn person that you were her brother , and i never pushed her about anything . but something 's definitely going on . and she wo n't tell me what is , and yet , i 'm trying to protect her , the same way i did with gabi . we all know how that turned out , and i am never making that mistake again . abigail : um , you know , i was thinking about writing gabi a note and having rafe take it to her . do you know the next time that he 's going to go visit ? jordan : i 'm not sure . you know , actually , rafe has n't really opened up to me much since gabi went to prison . abigail : why ? oh , right , he 's closing people out . god , jordan , i am so sorry . that must be so hard for you . sami : oh ! abigail ! just the person i was looking for -- hi . abigail : you know , sami , this is n't really a great time . jordan and i are in the middle of some things . sami : oh , i 'm sure jordan would understand . would n't you , jordan ?

chad : i took it . abigail : what ? chad : i mean , i was -- i was filming a friend in the square last month , and i saw sami run through after this guy , yelling at him , being all sami . i thought it was funny , so i followed her . figured it would be like a blooper reel for her birthday or something . abigail : that did not look funny . that looked intense . chad : yeah , i mean , it got that way . by the end , she was really ripping into the guy . abigail : wait , i think you told me about this , right ? a couple weeks ago . that -- that video that was ... vintage psycho sami . oh , my god . chad : yep , she totally went off on him , and i thought it was hilarious at the time . abigail : only now , she 's killed him . sami : all i could see was the hand over my mouth , holding me against the bars . i - i could n't even look down . roman : okay , do you remember anything ? anything about a tat -- a tattoo , anything ? how about the sleeve ? did it look like a uniform ? sami : dad , i was freaking out . i could n't breathe , okay ? all i could think was that i was about to pass out , and then the next thing i know , the guard found me . hope : you were attacked here in your cell ? roman : yeah , yeah . we 're questioning the day shift down in interrogation five . anything new from the hospital ? sami : yes , did you find the knife ? hope : sami , we went over the room , everything that went in and out of it -- and the air ducts . sami : please , do n't give up , aunt hope . i would n't just shoot an unarmed man . i did n't . i was saving rafe . hope : sami , we 'll keep looking . roman : hey , do n't worry , okay ?

i just want to go home to my kids . marlena : stefano knew about the affair between kate and rafe , did n't he ? ej : yes . marlena : so he 's behind this . his ego could n't bear having rafe get away with it . ej : look , marlena , we do n't have any evidence that would support that statement . marlena : do n't play a lawyer with me , please . i think we both know what happened here . ej : yes , probably . marlena : hmm . you 've been with sami , how long ? two months ? now she 's in jail , because she tried to stop your father from killing someone . ej : it 's not that simple . marlena : it never is . but somehow , it always ends the same -- somebody in my family gets shredded because somebody in your family used them and spit them out . ej : eh , i 'm not my family . marlena : you may think not , but they are yours . ej : look , marlena , i realize you 've been through a very challenging time lately , but please avoid putting your problems in a pile and casting sweeping judgments against me . marlena : do you really love my daughter ? ej : more than my life . marlena : make this go away . ej : i will . i promise . kristen : how does it work ? chyka : the first vial affects the patient as we discussed . kristen : and this one ? chyka : finishes the job . kristen : you 're absolutely positive that they are untraceable ?

no way . she 's ej 's fiancée . you do n't do that . abigail : oh , what , so you just suppress evidence instead ? chad : we do n't know that it 's evidence . look , you want to make things worse for sami ? for will 's mom , really ? abigail : no . no , i do n't , okay ? but , chad , if you saw sami , then somebody else probably did too . chad : i have to find ej . promise me you wo n't tell anyone about this until i do , okay ?

brady : yeah , last time i checked . eric : well , i have my phone , if you need anything . brady : okay . honestly , i 'm -- i 'm on it . eric : all right , only if you 're up to it , because i know kristen kind of knocked you for a loop . brady : no , no , no , listen -- do n't ! do n't -- do n't worry about it . eric : well , you 're kind of still a little bit rattled , and you know what ? you do n't have to put on a show for me . brady : i 'm not putting on a show for you . honestly , i 'm fine . eric : but you know what ? you 're not yourself , and that 's okay . i mean , i know you 're going through a rough time , but you 're gon na heal , all right ? you 're -- listen , you 're gon na move on someday . brady : you 're right . i probably will . kristen : paid in full . chyka : ms. dimera , i make it a point to deal with people who are calm , measured , in full control . kristen : do i seem out of control to you ? doctor , i was just left in a heap on the same floor by a second generation of men from the same family , one of whom was the love of my life . both of those men are still breathing , and this house has n't burned to the ground . i 've been very restrained . now , i have chosen my target carefully , and they will feel the full sting of an ugly , vengeful , yet richly deserved justice . i 'll be in touch . oh , you get ready , marlena . you thought that karma was a bitch ? mm , just wait until you meet payback . chad : i do n't know . sami and bernardi cut through the square pretty fast . and when i followed them and recorded it , there was no one else around . abigail : you ca n't be sure of that , chad . chad : yeah , and if someone else goes to the police first -- i got ta find ej , okay ? abigail : [ sighs ] chad : what ? abigail : sami ... could she have planned to kill bernardi ? chad : no , no , i do n't -- i do n't think so . i do n't -- i do n't know . i 'll see what ej has to say , okay ?

[ exhales deeply ] eric : before the bishop offers to reinstate me , he wants to be absolutely sure i 'm not lying about being set up . nicole : what does that have to do with me ? eric : his excellency is gon na want to speak to those who were involved , like you and daniel . nicole : well , i 'll do anything to help , anything that would clear you . eric : you should n't say anything you do n't mean . daniel : there is a part of me that wants to be with you right now , would like to move on from what happened with eric and nicole . jennifer : part of you ? daniel : yeah , but i know in my heart if i went to bed with you , it ca n't fix it . it ca n't ! jennifer : what can fix it ? tell me . daniel : i do n't know ! i do n't -- at this point , i do n't even know what to think . i do n't know . i just know that i need to be alone , and you ... you need to leave . jennifer : you sound like you 're giving up on us . daniel : i never said that . jennifer : daniel , when i told eric the truth about nicole , i did n't know where you were . and eric told me that he and nicole were about to leave for the airport . daniel : i was with nicole . i would have stopped that from happening . jennifer : i did n't know that . daniel : and that 's the point . you thought i would allow nicole to continue lying to eric , even let eric marry nicole without knowing the truth -- that she had evidence to clear his name so he could be a priest again . jennifer : yes , and we have been over this , daniel . i am trying to explain to you -- daniel : okay , please let me finish . the problem is n't that you took it upon yourself to tell eric the truth . it 's what drove you to do that -- that you were convinced that i would n't , that i did n't have the integrity or the courage or whatever . jennifer : no . i know now how much this hurt you , but i do n't understand why this is a deal breaker . daniel , i love you . i love you so much , and i have apologized to you over and over again . and i just want to repair what this did to us . daniel : just so i can disappoint you again ? jennifer : no . you do n't disappoint me . i just told you i love you . you are the best person i know . daniel : okay , look , i love you ... and i would like to find a way past this . but right now i ca n't even see what that way is . so maybe what i want and what i can have are just two different things . jennifer : what is it you want ? daniel : i want you to believe in me ... to see me for the man that i think i am . [ knock at door ] sami : is it all clear ? how 's it going ? ej : uh , fine . i -- oh , hello . i have a lot of calls to make , though . sami : really ? ej : i can do that from anywhere . if you have to plan the wedding , i 'll get out of your way . sami : hold on . just one little second . hope : okay , captain america , i have no idea what you 're talking about . aiden : well , you know the ballroom at the salem inn , the one we could n't book for the benefit ? hope : oh , hmm , uh , you mean the one that was stolen out from under us by kurt howell and the midwest domino association , that ballroom ? aiden : that very one . hope : hmm , well , forget it . howell is never gon na let st. luke 's have that room . he 's having too much fun . aiden : oh , well , hope , in your line of work , you must have noticed that most human beings have a tipping point , hmm ? hope : okay . aiden : well , i found out what howell 's is . and he 's gon na regret ever messing with st. luke 's . and here he is now . ah , mr. howell , good to see you . may i call you kurt ? howell : i do n't know what game you 're playing , but it 's gon na end right now . nicole : what am i saying that i do n't mean ? eric : i finally realized you often tell me what you think i want to hear , then do exactly as you please . nicole : okay , i had that coming . eric : if the bishop were to interview you , i have no faith that you would tell him the truth about me . nicole : you already know that i kept dr. chyka 's records from you . why would i lie to the bishop now ? what would that get me ? eric : i do n't know . but what i do know is that you 've been lying to me for months . and when daniel -- when he learned the truth , you lied to him , and then you lied about him as well . nicole : i did that because i love you . eric : do n't talk about love to me . love that 's based on lying is a lie . i do n't think i will ever believe anything you ever say to me again . marlena : and why would you ? aiden : i do n't know what game you 're talking about . howell : well , i got your message . it sounded an awful lot like a threat . see , i have a contract with the salem inn for the night in question , and there 's nothing you can do about it . now , if you continue to harass me , i 'm going to have to , uh ... uh , you 're doing that wrong . aiden : excuse me ? howell : uh , stacking those things like dominoes -- you 're doing it all wrong . see , the trigger piece is too close to the -- aiden : huh . howell : try that with real dominoes , you 'd go down in flames . aiden : mm . howell : where 'd you get those ? hope : hmm . they look like parking tickets -- an awful lot of them . aiden : sharp eye , detective brady . they are parking tickets . in fact , these parking tickets were all issued to the same man , this man who goes to the windy city every week on business . and when he does , he does n't want anyone telling him where to park . so what happens ? he gets tickets -- a whole lot of parking tickets , which he must just throw in the backseat or maybe sticks them the glove box . hope : [ clicks tongue ] naughty , naughty , naughty . which would tend to make the people at the chicago parking violations office ... very upset . aiden : ooh , she catches on quick . you do . you catch on quick . in fact , my buddy who works there says kurt here has made him lose faith in his fellow man . yeah , it seems kurt has racked up fines in the low five figures . you know what that means ? that means you could be looking at jail time . hope : [ inhales sharply ] howell : what are you doing ? hope : well , first of all , i 'm calling a tow truck to impound your car . and then the next thing i 'm going to do -- howell : no , all right , i get it . i want this to go away , and you want the salem inn ballroom . let 's make a deal . sami : sorry . i just got so carried away . i ca n't seem to help myself , especially since we 're going to be tying the knot for real this time . ej : that 's right . sami : so ... back to business . i have been planning exactly how i want this room to look , and i have notes that are -- i left them in the other room . okay , i 'll be right back . do n't go anywhere ! abigail : well , this is impossible . ej : we will get through it . abigail : if sami had any idea that we -- ej : she does n't . sami : ah . i could n't find it . harold said he 'll keep looking . did i miss anything ? ej : no , we were just waiting for you . sami : you still do n't have phone calls to make , do you ? ej : uh , um ... nothing that ca n't wait . sami : that 's what i thought you would say . great , 'cause you know what ? if you and i and abigail put our heads together , we will make this wedding a day to remember . nicole : well , as much fun as this has been , i 'm going to have to tear myself away . marlena : do n't let me stop you . nicole : do you enjoy going around and dispensing judgment and dirty looks ? 'cause i have to say , it does n't seem like much of a life to me . i guess i 'll talk to you later , after you cool off . marlena : how are you doing ? eric : how do you think ? marlena : want to talk about it ? i know part of what happened . i can piece together the rest . you look like someone who could use a person to talk to , somebody who 's on your side . why do n't you tell me what happened ? jennifer : daniel , i would n't even be with you if you were n't this kind and generous , amazing man . daniel : okay , do n't patronize me , jennifer . jennifer : i am not patronizing you . i am trying to persuade you that i love you and i respect you so much . what do we do ? daniel : we need time apart . jennifer : how much time ? daniel : i do n't know ... probably more than either one of us would like . jennifer : i see . okay . daniel : jennifer ... i think it 's probably best that you leave your key . howell : and i assume i 'll get my , uh , deposit back . good . see that you do . [ sighs ] hope : thank you , mr. howell . hello ? oh , i 'm sorry . yes , this is hope brady speaking . i understand the ballroom has become available for the night i requested for the st. luke 's gala . great . aiden : oh , and the , uh -- the contract for the inn , the one you were just waving in my face , could i just see that ? ah . ah , yes . okay , that 's -- howell : and you 'll represent me on the parking fines , for free ? aiden : yes , yes , that is the deal . howell : hmm . aiden : oh , uh , mr. howell ... you do n't want to forget your dominoes . hope : so that 's it ? we 're all set ? okay , great . this is fantastic . thank you so much . you just do n't give up , do you ? aiden : well ... not when it comes to fighting for the people i care about . all right ... i 'll see you . hope ... there 's something that i need to say to you . jennifer : [ sniffles , crying ] [ knock at door ] daniel : yeah , yeah , come on in . jj : hey . daniel : oh , hey . jj : i came here to see mom , but she is not here , and she is not answering her phone . and if i do n't brag to somebody about acing my history final , i 'm going to explode . [ chuckles ] daniel : wha -- good for you -- jj : i might make the freakin ' honor roll , and if you had n't have gotten through to me , that would n't have happened . daniel : no , well , it sounds like things are going well . jj : yeah , man . i 'm going out with paige . do you remember her ? daniel : no , of course i do . she came in the other day to observe at the hospital . she seems like a great girl . jj : yeah , she is . and you 'll see her again at the dinner . daniel : dinner ? jj : yeah , the one my mom 's having to celebrate me graduating on time , after ... well , you -- you 're coming to the dinner , right ? eric : nicole knew if could exonerate myself that she could lose me to the priesthood . marlena : so she did n't tell you what she had . eric : no . marlena : how did you find out ? eric : from jennifer . finally someone told me what was going on . marlena : well , jenni -- oh . that 's why jennifer spoke to me the way she did when this was going on . eric : mom , i know i came down on you pretty hard when you were questioning nicole 's story . i apologize for that . you have every right to say , `` i told you so . `` nicole : oh , my god . oh , my god , rafe . sami : no , no , not the main part , come on ! yeah , right here , this one . this is my favorite part of the garden . oh , is n't this a perfect place for a wedding ? abigail : yes , it 's -- it 's really beautiful . sami : and we 'll put everybody -- you know , all the chairs here , right ? um , and then there will be an aisle sort of through here - ish . and you , honey -- ej , you 'll be standing there , right ? with the judge . and then the flower girl -- she 'll walk down the aisle with the petals . and then you , abigail , you 'll come next , right ? coming down the aisle -- abigail : wait , wait , me ? what do you mean ? sami : yeah . i thought you knew . abigail : knew what ? sami : well , abigail , i would n't ask you to help us plan our wedding if i -- if i was n't going to have you be the maid of honor . abigail : y - you want me to be in the wedding ? sami : i mean , obviously you know i 'm not exactly the kind of woman who has a gaggle of girlfriends everywhere , and , you know , my sisters are n't even in the country . so , it sort of makes the whole `` maid of honor `` thing a bit sketchy and -- but that 's not even the truth . i mean , it kind of hit me that there is n't anyone i would rather have standing next to me on the most day of my life than you . aiden : hey , uh ... [ clears throat ] you were right about gabi 's transfer to women 's prison today . and i 'm glad that you opened up to me about how hard this is on you . i just -- i wanted to say to you that , um ... if you need to talk ... you have my number . hope : thank you . and you know what ? i just want say that watching you operate with howell today ... aiden : mm . hope : made me smile . i was n't sure that was possible today . aiden : then my work here is done . [ chuckles ] daniel : i - i 'm not going to be able to make the dinner . i am so sorry . it 's just -- jj : wait . mom 's picture is n't on your desk anymore . what -- what 's that about ? daniel : you should talk to her . jj : why ? what happened ? daniel : okay , she and i ... we 're , uh -- we 're taking a break . jennifer : [ sighs ] [ crying ] jj : is this break -- is it about me ? daniel : no , no , absolutely not . i am so proud of how you 've gotten your life back together . so is your mom . jj : i feel really bad . daniel : you know what ? i still want to see you , okay ? if you want to brag to me , you want to talk to me about your problems , whatever you need . jj : well , is this it for you and mom ? daniel : you know , look , i hope not . but no matter what , i 'll always hold a special place in my heart for her . now , i want you to be there for her now . and if you want to talk to her and then come back and talk to me , i 'm fine with that . jj : i just do n't get this . like ... daniel : i 'm sorry , jj . i wish -- i wish things were different . jj : yeah . yeah , me too . [ mumbles ] nicole : hi , rafe . i just -- i just want you to know that i love you , and i will always be your friend . and i guess i 'll just keep calling till i hear your voice . and i want to see you . i do n't know if that 's good news or bad news . i seem to be of very little use to anyone right now . but , please , just , uh ... take care of yourself . [ sighs ] marlena : oh . i know how much you 're hurting right now . it 's going to get better . i promise it is . eric : thank you for having faith in me . marlena : mm . sami : ej , ej , you tell her . tell that girl that i am serious about wanting her to be my maid of honor . ej : no , no , she is absolutely serious . abigail : sami , it 's not that i - i do n't want to at all . it 's just that i ca n't , because your wedding , unfortunately , is the same day as my brother 's graduation , so ... sami : oh , i checked into that , and i can promise you that everything important from the reception will happen before you have to go to your brother 's graduation . you just have to make sure you do n't drink too much . abigail : oh , okay . uh , sure , then . i mean , um , i 'd be honored . sami : great . thank you . okay , so back to business . you will be standing here , yes , right here with me , right ? ej : oh , of course . sami : abigail , what do you think ? how do we look ? abigail : you -- you look like the perfect couple . sami : aw . i just want to make sure that this is the perfect spot . you could stand in for me . yeah . how about you stand in my place , right ? abigail : okay . sami : get closer here . maybe you should hold hands . abigail : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . it 's just i ca n't do this . this is so wrong . sami : oh , honey , are you all right ? abigail : no , i 'm not . [ sighs ] sami : oh , my god . how could i have missed it ? i know exactly what is going on here . jennifer : hey . hi . how was your exam ? jj : it was fine . [ sighs ] i just saw daniel . is it really true ? mom , you ca n't just sit here . you have to fix this . daniel : [ sighs ] [ exhales deeply ] [ knock at door ] daniel : all right , here we go . hi . i 'm , uh , dr. jonas . nicole : oh . marlena : going somewhere ? nicole : i 'm not talking to you . marlena : the hell you 're not . eric : hey . hope : hey . hi . this is so funny . i was going to call you . eric : why ? hope : because i know how much the st. luke 's summer gala means to you . eric : well , it provides a big part of the school 's budget . hope : yeah , i know it does . and we had n't been able to book the ballroom up until just recently and -- i 'm sorry . um ... maybe news about st. luke 's is a painful subject . i 'm so sorry . i know there was a parting of ways . eric : maybe . maybe not . marlena : proud of yourself ? my son gave you a job when nobody in this town would have anything to do with you . he defended you . he put his faith in you . nicole : and i loved him for that . marlena : then you 've got a twisted way of showing how you love somebody , sweetheart . you had the evidence to prove that he did not have an affair with kristen , to prove that he had not broken his vows , and you kept it to yourself so you could get your man . how can you do that to somebody you say you love ? nicole : okay , fine . i 'll tell you how . i would have given him those documents . i would have let him make that free choice , but i knew you would n't do it . you saw how happy eric was with me , and you could n't stand it . and i knew you 'd be all over him . you would n't give up until you convinced him that being with me was the biggest mistake he could make . marlena : so you convinced him all by yourself . and now ... thank god ... you 've destroyed any chance you have of being with my son . you did it ! abigail : sami , what are you -- ej : look , samantha , i -- sami : i 'm so sorry . oh , god , i made you stand there with ej and ... here in the dimera garden , of all places . i mean , i 'm sure you 've walked here a million times with chad and -- and ... ej : you know , and , look , we 're really sorry , abigail . we both are . sami : i know what chad did . i know how he broke your heart , and i did n't even think about it , and i 'm sorry . please , please , accept my apology . abigail : you do n't have to apologize , sami . sami : but i do . i do . i want you to help us plan this wedding . i want you to be my maid of honor , and i wo n't make another stupid gaffe . please , abigail . i ca n't imagine this day without you . jj : here you go . jennifer : uh , you can just set it down . jj : [ sighs ] mom ... things are going to be okay ... right ? i mean , things have messed up for you and daniel before , but you guys always get back together . just tell me that you 're going to figure out how to make this right . daniel : i got your chart from your doctor , and i had a chance to go over it . i also did some research on your condition . and i honestly believe the surgery can clear up the problem with your throat . eve : well , now i know why everyone said you 're the surgeon to see . daniel : well , if your pre - op tests come back okay , we could schedule a procedure . eve : let 's get this ball rolling . daniel : well , we can start today . and it is a pleasure to meet you , ms . baron . eve : please ... call me eve . eric : there 's always a special place for st. luke 's in my heart . hope : is there a possibility you could come back in some capacity ? eric : there 's a possibility that can clear my name , and that would open a door for me to come back as a priest . hope : oh , my god , eric , that is so wonderful . eric : okay , well , i have to ask you to keep this to yourself for now . hope : ah , mwah . my lips are sealed . oh , duty calls . listen , i better get going , but i 'm going to keep my fingers crossed . bye . eric : bye . nicole : i want you to get out of here . marlena : gladly . i do n't want to spend one more moment longer than i have to with you . nicole ... if you 're still thinking you have a chance to end up with eric , you need to give that up . i just talked to him . he sees you for who you are -- a devious , neurotic liar . so it 's over . and eric can go back to being a priest . nicole : [ clicks tongue ] not without my help . marlena : and why would he need your help ? nicole : well ... the bishop wants to talk to me . he wants me to verify what eric told him . but after the way you and sami have treated me , i 'm not going to verify anything . so you can forget about being mama of the priest again . you 're just going to have to settle for being the bitch who unleashed sami on the world . and eric can kiss his holy orders good - bye . sami : say yes . abigail : okay . sure . sami : [ chuckles ] good . oh , great . well , you know , we do n't have that much more to do , but i , for one , am starved . ej : no , no , i say we push through and get this done . sami : `` push through `` ? ej , you know i ca n't push through anything when i am going to pass out from hunger . i 'm just going to tell harold to make us a snack , okay ? be right back . abigail : well , this is torture . ej : well , i had no idea what she was thinking . abigail : how am i supposed to do this ? ej : just put a smile on your face and get through it . abigail : [ chuckles ] you 're kidding me , right ? sami : i 'm supposed to straighten sami 's veil a - and hold her bouquet while she stands there and marries a man i slept with ? oh , my god . sami : harold , we 're ready for the snacks that you and i discussed . ej and abigail are out in the garden . thank you . ej : hey . the only thing samantha is thinking about right now is wedding plans . so you just get through this next couple of days , and you never have to see either one of us again , you understand ? abigail : [ groans ] look , i am trying to keep it together , okay ? but sami is just so damn happy and sweet . ej : i know that . abigail : she 's so in love with you , ej . oh , my god , i - i -- now i 'm her new best friend in the whole entire world . this is nuts . i feel like such a hypocrite . i ca n't take this . ej : abigail , we can not change what 's happened . abigail : oh , my god . ej : hey , we can agree that it was a mistake , and we can move on . all right ? samantha has no idea , nor will she ever . abigail : [ sighs ] | sami and abby talked about ej and the wedding . nicole wanted to know if eric was going to be a priest , but he did n't think he could be one because of her . daniel stopped himself from kissing jennifer . eric told nicole that the bishop wanted to talk to her and daniel to make sure kristen set him up . daniel wanted jennifer to leave . she thought he was giving up on them , but he said he was n't . they argued again over her thinking he would n't have told eric the truth about nicole . eric told nicole that the bishop needed her and daniel to prove that he was set up . eric also told nicole that he would never believe a word she said again . marlena showed up and thought he should n't believe her . marlena wanted to know what was going on with eric . daniel wanted time apart from jennifer . |

ej : that 's a very good question . i would like to know the answer to that . somebody is trying to set her up , somebody who would love to get their hands on that piece of ammunition . abigail : well , i did n't make that happen . ej : but you also do not fully understand what is going on . okay ? look , samantha was having an argument . that 's what you saw , is n't it , chad ? chad : yeah , it was typical sami . ej : thank you . look , do n't you think that , if this was some sort of serious fight , he would have said something or -- or done something ? abigail : i do n't know . chad : uh , i thought it was funny . ej : exactly . abigail , hey . what exactly is your theory here , hmm ? you think samantha was so angry with this guy , she held a grudge against him so much so that she followed him and decided the best point that she could off him would be in a hospital room surrounded by security and doctors ? abigail : no , that is not what i said . ej : you do understand how important this is , yes ? chad : completely , yeah . abigail : look , i do n't want to make trouble for sami , but -- ej : do n't make trouble for samantha . you would not be helping anybody , abigail , including officer bernardi 's widow . abigail : okay . i wo n't say anything . i have to go , i 'm late . ej : you know , i appreciate headstrong women . i do , all right ? but this is far too important for us to be indulging your spunky little girlfriend 's flawed perspective . you understand ? chad : yes , yes . ej : take care of her . chad : okay , i got it . will : what 's the matter ? look , i know i had a bad hair day . you do n't have to protect me . sonny : uh , no , no , it 's not that . i just -- i ca n't find the right video . why do n't i get you the real thing ? will : oh , they 're here ? yay . sonny : yeah . here , you sit tight . i 'll be right back , okay ? will : okay , wait , wait . thank you . sonny : oh , it 's just right down the hall . will : no . sonny : it 's not that big a deal . will : i 'm talking about getting your dad to represent my mom . thank you so much . sonny : i 'm just glad i could help . sit tight . i 'll be back in a few . will : okay . love you . [ cell phone ringing ] chad : hey . sonny : hey . meet me at my place right now . it 's urgent . sami : well , now the cops know to look for a razor , right ? instead of a knife . maybe they 'll actually be able to find it . eric : okay , so you think they missed a razor on the first search ? sami : well , it could have been with someone 's personal things or something , you know ? it could have been misplaced . eric : yeah . i guess that 's possible . sami : but ? eric : well , does n't it sound , you know , like , i do n't know , you 're changing your story ? sami : you think i 'm lying ? eric : no , i -- i just think a jury 's going to think you 're lying . kristen : harold ! bring my car around , please ! i need to go see a priest . tonight 's the night , father eric . jj : i , uh , heard you and abs talking about chad dimera . he 's moving in on her , huh ? cameron : i do n't think i 'd put it like that . jj : well , i would . cameron : you would ? jj : look , abigail and i talked a lot when i was in boarding school , so i know all about how chad dumped her , and , well , he 's bad news for my sister , know what i mean ? but i want to let you know that i got your back on this . cameron : okay . uh , thanks . jj : rory , call me back asap , man . i know how to get all the money we need . [ coughing ] cameron : uh , you okay ? jj : could i get some water , please ? cameron : yeah , no problem . here you go . jj : thanks , man . cameron : yeah . no worries . justin : i thought we were through with this . i thought you were okay with sonny and will . adrienne : look , i tried . and , you know what , i did really well . then i started having doubts again . and i tried to suppress -- in fact , i kept it to myself , for the most part . justin : okay . so when did these doubts start ? adrienne : when will almost got sonny killed on smith island . justin : but , honey , that was n't will 's fault . adrienne : but the only reason that sonny was there was because of will 's baby drama . justin : and will was the one who took the bullet . adrienne : this time . and do n't tell me there 's not going to be a next time , 'cause this is chaos , dangerous chaos , and no young person should have to live with that . my god , do n't you see how this relationship with will is dangerous for our little boy ? justin : our little boy is a grown man . he 's making his own choices now , and you ca n't change that , nor can you protect him any longer . now , look , i got ta go . we can talk about this later . but , honey , listen to me . you need to take a step back . okay ? you ca n't dictate sonny 's partners or my clients . sonny : she got very excited when i said it 's time to hang out with dad . will : yeah ? sonny : yeah . will : hi , precious . oh . sonny : listen , i 'm going to go check in at the coffee house . you two okay ? will ? will : what ? sonny : you 're so gone right now . i 'll see you later . will : see you later , see ya . sami : thanks for your vote of confidence . eric : sami , i - i 'm still on your side , sami . sami : unless i 'm wrong or lying or both . eric : no , especially then . i know you protected rafe . i just -- i just know that it would be better for you if it did n't go in front of a jury . sami : well , obviously , no one wants this to go to trial , but if it does , then -- what ? eric : you were under oath when you swore that lucas hit will . sami : oh , come on . that was a million years ago . eric : listen , i 'm not a lawyer , but i know they can still try to bring that up to impeach you . it 's about making you look bad now . it 's about your credibility . sami : well , this is one of those moments where it would be really useful if i were ... eric : no , no , no . sami : perfect , like you . eric : no , do n't , sami . listen , can i -- can i ask you something without ticking you off ? sami : you 've never been able to do it before . ask . eric : when you saw that guy holding the knife , standing over rafe , why did n't you scream for help ? why was it your first instinct to shoot ? kristen : ej , hey . ej : hey . kristen : where 's the fire ? ej : um , i 'm surrounded by flames at the moment . i 'm sorry , samantha 's meeting with her lawyer , i have to -- kristen : it 's only gon na take a second . i just want to say thank you . ej : for ? kristen : you 've been really good to me since my wedding just , you know , disintegrated . you took everything out of the house , did n't you ? all the wedding stuff . ej : i moved a few things around , that 's all . kristen : no , you and chad dismantled everything , so i would n't be upset . you 've been a good brother to me , and i know i 'm not real chatty about it , but i 'm grateful . ej : you 're very welcome . kristen : you 're a good guy , deep down in there somewhere . [ laughs ] anyway , i care about you more than i let on , okay ? ej : kristen -- kristen : what ? good luck with sami . ej : no , no , hold on . darling , i 'm sorry , but why do i get the sense you 're saying good - bye ? this day calls you . jj : [ coughing ] hey , cameron . that report on your patients -- when can i get it ? cameron : uh , after -- after i finish charting . okay . cameron : yeah . jj : who was that ? cameron : this is the residents ' room . about 20 of us doctors share it . jj : oh , no kidding . god , must be like grand central station in here . abigail : cameron , i 'm -- jj , what are you doing here ? jj : um , i 'm just saying hi . abigail : oh . um -- well , i do n't want to interrupt you guys . cameron : no , abigail -- sorry . jj : hey , man . adrienne : hi . will : hi . adrienne : how is that little beauty ? will : oh , she 's pretty good . adrienne : oh , god . looks like she 's grown . will : yeah , i hope so . gabi says she 's a great eater , and , um -- sonny 's not here , by the way . sorry . adrienne : no , really , that 's okay . i , um -- i wanted to talk to you . [ knocking at door ] chad : this is a bad day , sonny . i 'm really squeezed for time , and -- sonny : bet i know why . chad : holy -- how did you get that ? sonny : you sent it to me . chad : that day at the coffee house . damn it . have you shown anyone this ? sonny : of course i have n't . you know what this could do to sami 's case ? chad : yeah , it could help put her in jail for life . sami : eric , i already had that gun in my hand . screaming was n't going to disarm him . for all i know , if i had shouted or freaked out , it might have just made him act faster . eric : it was just quick thinking . sami : i was n't really thinking at all . i just ... had a lot of time to figure it out since then . eric : hey . you know , what you just said was probably true . sami : i do n't know . i do n't know about that . i mean , maybe i should have done something different . maybe i -- eric : sami , do n't second - guess yourself . sami : is n't that exactly what you 're doing right now ? eric : i 'm just trying to understand . i 'm trying to figure out how to defend you . sami : well , you do n't have to do that anymore . i know it 's been your job since we were four , but i have a lawyer , a really good lawyer , okay ? and you have to get to the capitol . for whatever it is you are doing there . eric : it 's just red tape about the school . sami : is there a danger that it might not open ? eric : it 's nothing to worry about , okay ? i do n't want you to even think about it . i want you to just stay out of trouble for the next day or two . sami : well , these bars are going to help with that , huh ? eric : so ... sami : well , by the time you get back , i 'll probably be out . eric : yeah . you better be . sami : okay . eric : listen , you told the police everything , right ? you 're not holding anything back ? sami : [ grunting ] bernardi : you crazy -- sami : oh , you think i 'm crazy ? you wait till you call the cops , see how they feel about this . [ laughs ] eric . of course i did . get out of here . kristen : oh , that 's really nice . i ca n't say something sweet to my brother without you thinking i 'm leaving town ? or better yet , maybe i 'm dying , and in two weeks from now ... ej : okay , okay . kristen : you 're going to go , `` oh , what a poignant moment that was . i love my sister . `` ej : okay , i apologize . thank you for your kind words . kristen : yeah . well , so much for family bonding . what is happening with sami ? i can tell something 's changed since i last saw you . what is it ? ej : a distraction . that 's all . kristen : a distraction ? can i help ? ej : uh , no , i think , finally , everything is under control . you have n't heard from father , have you ? kristen : no , uh - uh . he 's not going to be found unless he wants to be found . ej : do n't give him too much credit . he 's old . he might be losing a step . kristen : ej , not when his life 's on the line . that 's why he 's still alive . that 's why he 's a free man . because he 's careful . he covers his tracks . ej : uh - huh . kristen : he never leaves behind a trace of evidence . ej : uh - huh . kristen : now those are words to live by , hmm ? ej : uh - huh . kristen : do n't forget . ej : uh - huh . what , exactly , is it that you 're really trying to tell me ? kristen : nothing . good luck with sami 's case . ej : kristen , tell me what you 're up to . kristen : nothing . ej : nothing ? kristen : much . ej : ah . kristen : oh , ej , would n't it be wonderful , though , if , very soon , you and i both had something fabulous to celebrate ? ej : mm . will : okay , what 's up ? adrienne : how does it feel to hold her , hold your child ? will : well , um , well , it 's like -- i do n't know . there are not really words , you know ? i just want everything to be okay for her , you know ? like , forever . and , um , when she cries , i feel like crying and do n't want anything bad to happen to her and do n't ever want her to feel sad . but , you know , obviously , i do n't -- i do n't have a lot of control over that . adrienne : no . will : yeah . wish i did . adrienne : i know how you feel . but even though , you know , you do n't have a lot of control , it 's still your responsibility to do your damnedest to protect her . will : yeah . adrienne : yeah . will : that 's how you feel with your kids , hmm ? adrienne : yeah . and actually , that 's why i 'm here . you love sonny , right ? will : yes . adrienne : i know you do . that 's why i 'm asking you -- actually , i 'm begging you . do the right thing and break up with him . chad : look , i thought it was funny at the time . i still would have , if sami had n't ended up shooting the guy . sonny : my dad needs to know about this . chad : now , now , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , no . that 's not -- that 's not your call , okay ? ej knows about this . he 'll decide -- sonny : no , sami 's lawyer needs to know everything that 's out there that can come back and bite them . chad : it wo n't . we 're the only ones who have this . if we both delete it , then there 's no evidence . sonny : what if someone saw sami , and they come forward ? then what ? chad : there was no one else around . okay , and even if there was , it 's just a story . they do n't have enough evidence to back it up . sonny : then why was she going after this guy like that ? chad : ej said something about a misunderstanding . it got settled , no big deal . look , bottom line , i do n't think sami would shoot a guy in cold blood . sonny : neither do i . chad : good . then there 's something you can help me out with . cameron : hey , hey , hey , hey . will you wait up ? do n't just run off like that . just tell me . abigail : no , it 's fine , cameron . i just -- i do n't know , i just -- i like when things are nice and neat , and -- and nothing is gray . jj : what 's up , abs ? abigail : um , nothing , jj . do n't worry about it . i 'm fine . just , um -- i needed a friend to just ... uh -- jj : i 'm -- i 'm going . abigail : okay . jj : um , call me later , or i 'll hunt you down . abigail : thank you , bro . love you . cameron : [ clears throat ] so ... what 's gray ? abigail : i just -- i promised a friend that i would keep this secret , but i do n't know if it 's the right thing to do . and i just have this huge knot in my stomach now , and -- it 's probably not a good sign , is it ? cameron : you know what ? medically speaking , that 's -- that 's your gut telling you it 's a bad idea . abigail : right . cameron : yeah . abigail : god , i knew it . i knew it before the words even came out of my mouth . cameron : abigail , what 's going on ? [ cell phone ringing ] abigail : uh -- it 's not a big deal , cameron . [ cell phone rings ] abigail : um , i have to go , but thank you for your advice , thanks . sami : justin ? justin , thank you . hey , hey , thank you so much for taking my case . it means a lot to me . justin : of course . look , i just got preliminary discovery , so i have n't gone through all the evidence , but i think we have a case . sami : you do ? oh , thank you . thank god . everyone 's been so pessimistic because we could n't find the knife that bernardi used . but actually , i think i know why . my mom hypnotized me to help me remember all the details , and , um , i think it was a razor , not a knife . justin : really ? a razor ? sami : yeah , does n't that make sense , why they could n't find it ? i mean , maybe they put it away . someone put it away in a man 's toiletry bag or , you know , just misplaced it somehow . justin : um , yeah , i do n't know about that , but it 's an interesting choice of weapon . i mean , a knife is already more personal than a gun . a razor is even more so . sami : pretty personal for someone , right ? justin : do you have a theory about that ? sami : look , right now , i 'm just focused on what my brother said , that -- that me changing my story does n't look good for me . justin : yeah . your brother 's right . changing your story does n't look good at all . rory : whoo ! jj : i was afraid i 'd have to cough up a lung to get rid of the guy . rory : whoa , superior haul , man . jj : dude , there were so many samples , they wo n't even notice these are gone . you checking names ? rory : yeah . jj : and behind door number one , we have -- rory : it 's a laxative . jj : whoa , what ? rory : dude . and this one 's for sinus infections , man . jj : damn it . dude , i took a major risk to score these , and one of them better pay off . george : eric brady ? you 're father eric ? my parents live in salem . they go to st. luke 's . the durants . eric : right . you must be george . george : yeah . um , i heard that there was some trouble with the new school . eric : yes , there is . that 's why i 'm here . i have a meeting about it tomorrow . so that 's why i need a quiet room that i can prep in and where i wo n't be disturbed . george : absolutely . will : are you serious ? you want me to break up with sonny ? adrienne : you remember a conversation that you overheard between me and my husband ? will : are you talking about the one where you said sonny was too good for me and that my family and i are so screwed up , so we 're going to end up hurting him ? adrienne : look , i 'm sorry you had to hear that . obviously , it was n't meant for your ears . but no matter how unfair you may have thought it was , deep down , you knew i was right . that 's why you broke up with him . will : yeah , but -- adrienne : please , just let me finish , okay ? please , i just -- will : okay . adrienne : so you broke up with him . and then you thought about it , and you came to terms with who you were , and you convinced him that you two should get back together . will : right , so -- adrienne : right , so you did exactly as i predicted . you lied to him , and you broke his heart . will : um , sonny and i have moved past that . adrienne : oh , yes , yes , so it seemed , so it seemed . and then you got him involved in this whole mess with nick and gabi and almost got him killed . and now your mother has been accused of murder too . will : okay . is that my fault too ? adrienne : no , no . but your whole family , it 's all about the drama . serious drama , sometimes with tragic consequences . so whether you intend it or not , eventually , you are going to destroy my son . ca n't you see that ? chad : you 've got to admit , ej 's got a point . if sami had it out for bernardi , why would she shoot him in the middle of a hospital ? abigail : you 're asking me to explain how sami brady thinks ? really ? i mean -- i do n't know , maybe she thought that protecting rafe was , like , the perfect cover or something . sonny : everybody says that rafe was friends with this guy . and that 's what 's tripping people up . why would sami think it 's a great cover to say that rafe 's friend tried to kill him ? abigail : i do n't know , sonny . okay ? you guys are acting like i 'm the one that 's on trial here . i do n't know . chad : whoa , whoa , nobody -- you 're not on trial . abigail , this is a big deal . abigail : i know . sonny : all right , and i understand if you 're having trouble keeping quiet , but i would not ask you to do this if i was n't sure it was the right thing to do . so please , let it go . sami : is it seriously going to be a problem that i said it was a knife and then changed it to a razor ? i mean , the whole thing happened so quickly . justin : juries like consistent stories . sami : but i am telling the truth , i swear to god . you -- you believe me , do n't you ? justin : i have no reason not to . but , look , sami , i have to ask you , is there anything you have n't told the police about the case ? i 'm gon na give jimmy some honey maid teddy grahams to snack on . will : hmm . no , i - i do n't see how i 'm going to destroy your son . you know , the opposite is true , actually . i 'm doing everything in my power to make him happy , okay ? sonny and i are going to be together . it does not really matter what you think or how you feel . adrienne : do n't get yourself upset . will : well , maybe you should have thought of that before you came in and started telling me what a horrible person i was , okay ? when i get out of here , sonny and i are going to continue to live together . adrienne : and gabi and the baby , yes , i heard . will : oh , great . well , i 'm glad you love the idea . adrienne : what , just another sacrifice my son has to make for you . will : it was his idea . adrienne : of course it was . will : you know what ? i really wish that you could accept sonny and me . i really do . but if you ca n't , you 're going to be the one that takes a step back from sonny 's life . adrienne : i 'm his mother . will : i 'm the one he 's going to spend the rest of his life with , okay ? nothing is going to change that . adrienne : i was really hoping you would save yourself and my son a lot of pain by ending things now . because it will end , will . sooner or later , you will make some mistake , and you will end up breaking my son 's heart . and that will be it . that will be the final straw for my son . ej : justin . awfully sorry to interrupt . sami : no , of course . i was just going to tell justin that i would n't keep anything from the police . i mean , it was my dad and aunt hope and abe that questioned me . i told them everything they needed to know . ej : well , of course you did . justin : now i understand that roman 's been suspended while the case is ongoing . sami : all the more reason to get this resolved as quickly as possible . justin : look , sami , one thing you have in your favor is that juries always look for a motive . now , from what i 've read in your file , they are n't going to find one . abigail : okay , look . i do n't know what 's going on here . i do n't know what 's true , and i do n't know what 's not true . but what i do know , confidently , is that there is a video of sami brady in a serious fight with a man that she ended up shooting , and both of you seem to think that that is irrelevant . chad : yeah . abigail : how is that even possible ? chad : okay , all right . last fall , nicole was living at your house , and -- abigail : whoa , wait . nicole ? what does she have to do with -- chad : because she and your mom fought a lot , right ? people saw them fight . and when nicole fell down the stairs and lost her baby , she accused your mother of pushing her , and all those witnesses said , yeah , they 'd seen your mom and nicole fighting . abigail : my mom did n't push nicole . chad : did n't stop the cops from arresting her . in fact , they had to . abigail : they had to , you 're right . they arrested her , and everything worked out fine in the end . chad : because nicole backed down . what if she had n't ? what if she 'd been dead , like bernardi is , and the only evidence left was what people said they 'd seen ? sonny : your mom could have been sent to prison for something she did not do . chad : you want to make that happen to sami ? george : uh , good evening , ma'am . um , are you sure you 're in the right place ? kristen : [ foreign accent ] i am positive . george : uh , what 's the name again ? kristen : fay taylor . george : ah , i found it . um , you are in room 438 . kristen : no . no , i need room 201 . it 's very important . george : i - i 'm sorry . i 'm afraid that 's not possible . break a leg ! jj : z - a - n. what have we got ? rory : well , you just made some old dude in a bathtub really happy . jj : this blows , man . rory : what , is that it ? jj : no , we 've got one more . oh , jackpot . [ laughs ] adrienne : will , i know you 're upset , but just think about it . you have a chance here to do a really good thing and save a lot of people a lot of pain . but you wo n't , will you ? because you 're as selfish and destructive as your mother . will : whew . she is wrong about your daddy . she has no idea what she 's talking about . abigail : look , i get that there is a risk here . but there 's a risk either way . do you understand that you guys are asking me to cover up evidence in a murder investigation ? chad : it 's not evidence . abigail : chad -- chad : there 's no reason to think it has anything to do with the shooting . sonny : that 's what it looks like if we bring it to the cops . chad : yeah , look , if we delete the videos , then it 's done . abigail : okay , but -- but what if somebody else saw sami with bernardi ? chad : okay , if that happens , then we let justin and ej deal with it . but we 're not going to make sami 's defense any harder than it already is . abigail : sonny -- chad : agreed ? sonny : agreed . abigail : agreed . chad : look , we 're in this together , abigail . now i need you to promise me . abigail : i promise . i 'm with you . chad : okay . let 's do it . justin : okay , here 's the notice . we 'll get heard on bail within an hour . sami : i 'm ready . i 'm ready . justin : good . okay , with any luck , ej will be taking you home very soon . sami : okay . justin : now , sami , you have to be quiet in court , all right ? do not say one word until i tell you to . and then say exactly what i tell you to say . sami : i can do that . ej : okay . sami : come on . ej : i have to make a very quick phone call . [ cell phone ringing ] chad : one sec . ej . ej : hey . you have everything under control ? chad : yeah , we 're good . ej : is abigail with you too ? chad : yeah , it 's settled . ej : okay , now listen . i need you to delete the video . delete it from your phone , delete it from your computer , delete it from your server . just make sure it 's gone . got it ? chad : i 'm on it . ej : okay . thank you . sonny : did ej know i had a copy of the video ? chad : no , but i 'll tell him later . got enough on his plate right now . the important thing is that ej knows that all the videos are gone . it 's over . george : you do n't want that room , anyway . you 'd be next door to a priest . kristen : what has that got to do with me ? george : well , he 's working on a very important project tonight and ca n't be disturbed . he especially asked for quiet . he 'd probably be a pain to have as a neighbor . kristen : i 'll be quiet . george : um , you know , room 438 has a great view of the fountain -- kristen : i want room 201 . it 's the , uh , same room that my husband and i , we had our honeymoon . george : um , will he be -- kristen : he 's dead . my husband is dead , and i need that connection . it 's very important . i need that room . george : i 'm sorry . if i had known in advance -- kristen : you know now . i want that room . you fix it now . eric : can i help here ? | eric visited sami at the police station . he did n't think it was a good idea for her to face a jury . she did n't agree with his advice . he wanted to know why she did n't yell for help instead of shooting . justin and adrienne talked about her feelings towards sonny 's relationship with will . she continued to disapprove of sonny 's relationship with will . justin reminded her that sonny is a grown man and that she ca n't protect him forever . he also told her that she could n't dictate who his clients will be either . jj was at the hospital with cameron . when cameron left the room , jj stole drugs . sonny talked to chad and told him how chad sent him the video of sami fighting bernardi . sami did n't think she had time to call out for help . eric wanted to stay with sami , but she wanted him to go to the capitol . ej and kristen talked about sami . they also talked about whether or not stefano was involved with sami 's situation . |

it 's screwed up . bev : but you and paige got back together . jj : and i thought it was like getting out of jail , like i had a real second chance . bev : and then paige found out . jj : yeah , but the truth is that i never had a chance . i 'd slept with paige 's mother , and that does n't go away . and eve knew it . eve did everything she could to keep me away from paige . she tried to set me up to go to jail . bev : god , déjà vu . she sounds just like that bitch sister of hers . jj : theresa ?

[ soft music ] tripp : i - is there any proof ? i mean , kayla does n't seem like somebody who smothers people to death . jade : yeah , that 's because she 's completely two - faced . ava kidnapped kayla and locked her away with no food and no water . you know about that , right ? [ somber music ] well ... did you know that ava told steve the only way that she would let kayla go was ... if he slept with her ? well ... steve hopped in her big bed and did his duty . and , of course , when kayla was finally free and everything was supposed to go back to normal , ava sent her a private little porn movie . tripp : so this ... film made kayla commit murder ? jade : well , that and ... other stuff . tripp : like what ? jade : they wound up getting into it in the park -- hair pulling and punching each other . then later , ava snuck into steve and kayla 's house and gave herself a morphine overdose . tripp : av - ava overdosed so she would frame kayla for -- jade : well , that 's what kayla 's claiming but , i mean ... maybe ava was telling the truth . kayla said that she came home and found ava blacked out with a needle still in her arm . she was alive , so they rushed her to the hospital , and she pulled through . tripp : w - well , kayla saved her -- why would she hurt her ? jade : because your mom made a big scene at the hospital . she told everyone that kayla was the one that gave her the overdose . she was saying , `` help me , save me , do n't let her do it to me again ! `` that kinda stuff . so ... kayla shut her up . hey . got your text -- what 's going on ? tripp : just got done doing rounds with the good doctor . jade : oh , what fun . did she put on an oscar - worthy performance ? tripp : of course she did . you know , it 's like she 's playing the big part of the big hero doctor , you know , always kind and compassionate , her voice all soft , that sick , sweet little smile on her face . `` hey , mr .... whoever the hell you are , `` you know ? `` are you feeling okay ? even though you 're probably gon na die any minute now ? `` jade : so i take it you did n't buy it . tripp : actually , i did . for like ... five minutes . then i thought , she 's just acting her ass off . and it 's all phony and fake and ... god , it makes my skin crawl just thinking about it . jade : yeah , i bet . tripp : 'cause if she 's so devoted to healing , how could she murder my mom in cold blood ? jade : you know , tripp , sometimes i think i do n't tell you enough how bad i feel for you ... knowing your mom was murdered , and by the wife of your dad , no less . i mean , it 's so tragic . i do n't know how you can stand to even be around kayla -- around any of them , really . tripp : well ... my dad 's cool . and ... joey . i do n't believe in guilt by association or whatever that expression is . jade : yeah , me neither , but ... i mean , i know how unbelievably painful this is for you . i just wish i could take some of that pain away . tripp : yeah , well , you ca n't . jade : you know , tripp , you do n't need to feel any guilt for this -- all the anger and hatred you have towards that woman . tripp : i do n't feel guilty . you know , my mom is dead because of her -- why would i feel guilty ? jade : i do n't know , because sometimes maybe she can fool people into thinking that she cares . tripp : she does n't , okay ? i 'm not falling for it -- i 've already told you that . jade : okay . but ... if you ever are even for a second , just remember how kayla operates . she pulls you into her web with niceties and encouragement ... but she 'll pull the rug out from under you in a heartbeat if you do n't fit into her world . kayla johnson is a cold - hearted bitch ... period . tripp : yeah , that pretty much sums her up , but ... you know ... jade : what ? tripp : it 's not enough to just ... hate her . i 'm going to take action . i 'm going to do something about it . [ dramatic chords ] [ overlapping shouting ] john : all right , all right , that 's enough , enough ! what the hell is going on here ? sonny : paul caught jungle madness . john : what ? sonny : he caught jungle madness . marlena : oh , my gosh ... the same disease that peter blake had . eli : he tried to kill us , so we tied him up to restrain him . john : check him out , doc . marlena : we 've got ta get him to a hospital . sonny : thank god we can . chad : how the hell 'd you guys find us ? john : well , we got titan jet 's last location , started going island to island . did an air search , cover on this island was too dense , dropped in by foot , and just dumb luck that we found you guys . marlena : a lot of luck . we 've got ta get him help right now . john : all right , all right .

[ dark chords ] tripp : i got a plan . jade : oh , and you have my undivided attention . tripp : so , doing rounds earlier was very ... enlightening . jade : you mean aside from the big , disgusting act she puts on ? tripp : right , aside from that . there are these policies and protocols , you know , for medicating patients to make sure the treatments are done according to the doctors ' instructions . jade : right . of course . tripp : well , even if the doctor does everything by the book ... sometimes patients die . jade : yeah . so ... tripp : this is the good part . when there 's a death , the patient 's file is reviewed . jade : what , you mean by other doctors ? tripp : yeah . and by the big shots who run the hospital . jade : okay ... go on . tripp : all i have to do is get to said patient 's file and alter it in such a way to make it look like kayla made a mistake . jade : oh ... okay . i like this . tripp : i - i 'd start small at first , you know , like change the name of the meds or the dosage here and there for the first few cases . then ... i 'll up my game . then i 'll make it where it looks like kayla is the doctor of death . jade : i like the plan ... but here 's the problem . people like kayla have everyone fooled . i mean , i just do n't know if anyone 's gon na believe that kayla 's just going around offing people right and left . tripp : i 'll admit that 's a hurdle . i 'll find a way to get over it . i 'm gon na make people start to doubt her . in that final chart , i 'm gon na make it very clear ... that what kayla does goes far beyond negligence . jade : you 're not actually gon na kill any of her patients , right ? tripp : no , no , no , no , i can never take another person 's life -- i 'm not like kayla . jade : you know what ? i have complete faith in you , tripp . i mean it . tripp : the thing is , i may never be able to prove kayla killed my mom . i 'm gon na make damn sure that her career is over . she 'll be ruined .

[ laughs ] allie : see , you get it . nicole : well , can i at least ask you where you 're going ? allie : i 'm not really much of a planner . i -- i just figured i 'd hit the road . just put some distance between me and my parents . nicole : and then ? allie : and then , at least i can decide on my own what i wan na do about my baby . jake : i thought you 'd be in the wind again . gwen : well , could n't leave without seeing you , right ? you look good . wow ! [ laughs ] you 're really moving up in the world , are n't you ? jake : it 's an honest living . gwen : well , that 's more than what you can say for your job working for the family in philly . but really , jake , a garage ? jake : i 'm good with this life . gwen : are you ? or are you just trying to hide ? jake : this coming from the woman who checked herself into a loony bin . sorry -- mental institution . gwen : aw , look at you being all pc . jake : i recently got a lecture from somebody who said i have a lack of sensitivity . gwen : yeah , was n't really your strong suit . jake : are we gon na talk about what you did ? gwen : do n't even start ! jake : i 'm not lookin ' for a fight , gwen . i just want my book back , and i know you have it . so give it to me , and we never have to see each other again . gabi : a dna sample from stefan 's comb , and one from jake 's toothbrush . i got these right before i got kidnapped . sonny : you kept them the whole time you were in captivity ? gabi : yeah , luckily those thugs did n't damage the samples . will : so , now what ? you 're gon na go get a dna test run ? gabi : yep . as soon as i can . you know what , the lab should be open now , right ? will : oh , no , no , no . you ca n't go now . gabi : why not ? will : hello , do n't you have to be in court ? gabi : i 'm not worried about that . sonny : you should be . the charges against you are serious -- poisoning abigail , attempting to do the same thing to jake . gabi : i am innocent , okay ? i did n't hurt abigail . i did n't hurt jake . sonny : because ben stopped you . gabi : i told you , i thought that syringe contained rolf 's serum . he set me up . and what i 'm doing to jake , he 's gon na thank me for it later . will : he -- he will ? when ? gabi : when he remembers that he 's stefan dimera . when he gets his life back . you know what , i 'm gon na head to the lab right now . will : no , gabi , hold on , hold on , hold on . i -- look , i understand how much you wan na prove that jake is stefan , but none of that matters if they send you back to prison . these are real people , rafe : oh , well , if this is about gabi 's case , i was gon na head by the courthouse as soon -- hope : no , this is n't about her case . [ uneasy music ] rafe : something bad ? hope : the good news is that gabi -- gabi is home , and she is safe and sound . and , by all accounts , totally fine . rafe : yeah , why would n't she be ? hope : because she had been kidnapped by the mob . gwen : how about , in the spirit of honesty , we talk about this book ? it 's not yours , is it ? you stole it . jake : and you stole it from me . gwen : oh , did i ? huh , that 's funny , because i know i have it , but i do n't really remember how it came into my possession . jake : okay , this is not funny , gwen . these guys we 're dealing with , they do n't have a sense of humor . gwen : oh , yeah , your old boss ? jake : yeah . you stole everything from me -- including that book , which was his . gwen : because you were being an ass , jake . and i just wanted to teach you a lesson on how you should treat people . jake : i do n't care why you took it . but i need it back , and i need it back right now . gwen : oh , god , look at you getting worked up over it . jake : worked up ? you almost got a woman killed ! gwen : yeah , let 's talk about this woman , shall we ? what 's her name ? gabi ? who is she ? who is she to you ? because she 's going around and telling people that she 's your wife . gabi : i have no intention of missing my own trial . i 'm not crazy . i 'm not that crazy ! will : gabi , we are just so happy that you are safe and free , and we just do n't want anything to change that . gabi : oh , believe me , i do n't , either . which is why i 'm gon na prove that these charges against me are nonsense . sonny : why do i get the sense that you 're still gon na run the dna test this morning ? gabi : it 's not gon na take long -- i can just , you know , it 's on the way over there . i can just drop these things off and then head home , change , and make it in time for court . sounds good , right ? sonny : yeah , great . will : yeah , what could possibly go wrong ? kate : hey , wait , wait . sit down for a second . for a second . allie had good reason to come back to salem when she found out she was pregnant . lucas : yeah , right , she was overwhelmed . she did n't know what to do . kate : no . i mean , she could have gone straight to you for support , right ? but instead , she hopped on a plane and put an ocean between herself and you and sami . lucas : well , i 'm here for her now , are n't i ? kate : yes , i know you are . and that 's a wonderful thing . it really is . but you have to let her make her own decisions . you ca n't do that for her . she 's an adult now . lucas : she is barely an adult -- what are you talking about ; she needs her family now more than ever . kate : okay , wait , wait ! okay , you stay here , though . i 'll go talk to her . nicole : you do n't have to listen to what i say . because your decision is yours , and -- and yours alone . but allie , do you really wan na be on your own right now ? allie : you think i 'm making a mistake . nicole : i think that your uncle would wan na help you , no matter what decision you make . allie : yeah , but my mom . nicole : okay , but listen to this . i know it sounds impossible , but i 'll do whatever i can to keep sami away from you -- if ... if that 's what you want . allie : you 'd do that for me ? why ? nicole : because i love your uncle more than anything . and i feel for what you 're going through . plus , your mom and i , we do n't mix well . and i know she tends to turn everything into a catastrophe , and i do not want that for you . allie : thank you . nicole : you said yesterday that you 're not sure if you wan na keep the baby . are you ... seriously thinking about ending the pregnancy ? [ somber music ] it 's the 6 : 10 allie : i know there 's still time to terminate the pregnancy . but i feel like i 've come too far , you know ? i -- i waited too long to make the decision , and now it 's too late . i mean , look at me . i 'm the size of illinois . nicole [ laughs ] oh , honey . you 're beautiful . and do n't let anyone tell you different . allie : thanks . nicole : are you okay ? allie : yeah . hormones . does n't take much to get the waterworks going these days . nicole : i know , i 've been there . so ... you 've decided to have the baby . one decision made . the biggest one . allie : yeah . now i only have about a million more to make . nicole : can the father help in any of this ? allie : my god , why does everyone care about the father ? my dad , uncle eric , they keep pushing to tell them who it is . nicole : i -- i 'm sorry . you 're right . it is none of my business . allie : it 's not anybody 's business . nicole : true . but , allie , you did n't get pregnant on your own . should n't the father have some responsibility ? allie : the thing about the father is ... nicole : okay , you do n't have to talk about it if you do n't want to . but if you do , i 'm here to listen . lucas : why is it better that you talk to allie rather than me ? kate : because i understand her . lucas : you understand her . really ? kate : lucas , i understand her better than you do right now . lucas : listen , i do n't wan na be cruel , okay ? so i 'm gon na watch what i say . do n't talk to allie for me , please , okay ? kate : you do n't trust me ? lucas : i do n't want your parental advice right now . let me handle this . let me handle this on my own , please . rafe : my sister is kidnapped by the mob , and nobody says anything to me ? hope : rafe , i just found out . i came here as soon as i heard . rafe : yeah , but abe was here , and he did n't say a damn word . hope : i do n't blame you for being upset , but honestly , i do believe that abe was just trying to protect you . he was , he was giving you time -- rafe : i 'm going to see her , okay ? hope : he says she 's okay . rafe : well , thank you for that , but with all due respect , i 'd like to see for myself . and if you see abe , would you please tell him i 'd like to make my own decisions when it comes to protecting my sister . gabi : you guys have seen jake , right ? can you honestly say that 's a different person than stefan ? will : i -- there certainly are , you know , some similarities . gabi : similarities ? that is him ! gabi : okay , gabi , listen . we know how much you loved stefan . we 're just afraid that if you get your hopes up , you open your heart to this guy and it turns out jake is just jake , then ... gabi : you still think i 'm wrong . will : well , i mean , he 's pretty insistent that he 's not stefan -- he has his own memories . gabi : but rolf could 've implanted those memories . we know that he can do that ! look , i heard one of those thugs when i was kidnapped say that -- that jake arrived to philadelphia a year and a half ago . sonny : and none of them knew him before that ? gabi : no . stefan died two years ago and then , all of a sudden , somebody shows up that looks exactly like stefan . this jake person , he gets mixed up with the mob and he finds a girlfriend ? will : wait , what , what , what -- girlfriend ? gabi : this chick named gwen or something . sonny : okay , well , so even if this is stefan , he 's moved on . gabi : because he does n't know he 's stefan ! will : yeah , but what if he likes being jake , and what if he likes her ? gabi : since when did competition scare me ? will : i was afraid you were gon na say something like that . gabi : besides , i 've heard that gwen might as well be dead to jake . supposedly , they had this big fight and she just took off . sonny : listen , gabi , please . gabi : i 've got ta go . i got ta go turn the samples in and prove to you , to jake and to everybody that he 's stefan . will : do n't be late to court ! jake : you know , the last thing i need is to hear this from you , too -- this crazy talk about how i got this wife that i do n't remember . gwen : apparently , she thinks that you 're this stefan person . jake : well , she 's outta her mind . and if you believe her , maybe you should check yourself back into bayview and deal with your issues . gwen : issue -- issues ? my only issue is that you were cheating on me ! jake : that never happened ! gwen : oh , you liar ! jake : okay , for the millionth time , gwen , you 're paranoid . so , why do n't you come back down to earth , and we can talk about this book situation before it 's too late ? gwen : oh , i thought the little wife was saved and that your pal luca and his goons were already locked up . jake : for now . it 's only a matter of time before the boss sends reinforcements . gwen : that 's not my problem , is it ? jake : it might be , because you know what ? they took gabi because she thought she was my wife , which she 's not . gwen : okay . jake : really ? there 's nothing going on between me and gabi , gwen . but , you know , even if there was , it does n't matter . because you and me , we 're not together . gwen : so , she 's nothing to you ? jake : oh , my god , you know what -- fine . forget it . you can keep the book , and when the guys come back to get it , i 'll tell 'em you have it . it 's your funeral . gwen : you would n't do that , would you ? jake : in a heartbeat . gwen : so , you 'd risk your life for this gabi person that you claim you just met , but you 're ready to just throw me to the wolves ? jake : all right , as usual , you 're turning something very simple into something very complicated . gwen : how is this simple , jake ? jake : you give me the book back , i hand it over , and we 're done . is it in your bag , huh ? gwen : it 's not in there . jake : where the hell is it , gwen ? gwen : i do n't have it on me . whoops . jake : seriously ? gwen : well , it 's okay . if you do n't believe me , you can conduct a thorough search . gabi : rafe ? oh -- rafe : gabi . gabi : did you hear what happened ? rafe : yeah , i just found out from hope -- are you okay ? gabi : yeah . rafe : are you all right ? gabi : yeah , i mean , i was a little scared at first , but , you know , i survived . it 's what i do . rafe : yeah . so -- so these mob guys , they did n't hurt you ? gabi : no , i mean , i just have a few rope burns from where they tied me up . but i 'm good . rafe : what the hell were you doing in that garage in the first place ? gabi : i was , um , stealing jake lambert 's toothbrush . rafe : gabi ! gabi : i needed something to prove that he is stefan . okay , i had something of stefan , right , and i just needed dna from jake . and i just dropped it off at the lab to be tested . rafe : you do know that you have a trial starting today ? gabi : yes , i do know that . will and sonny , they just -- they grilled me about priorities and not going to prison . it 's fine . rafe : okay , good . 'cause , you know , it 's a big day . you need to be focused . gabi : okay , so where 're we at -- did you , uh , get rolf to admit he set me up ? rafe : actually , i , um ... i never saw rolf . hope : oh , uh , kate , do you have a minute to talk ? kate : no , actually , i do n't -- hope : well , just a second . it wo n't take long , i promise . kate : [ sighs ] okay , uh , what -- what 's up ? hope : it 's about abe giving me the key to the city . i just wanted you to know , i did , i gave some thought to what you said , and thank you but no , thank you . kate : oh , my god , seriously ? seriously ? i mean , what the hell is wrong with people ? i do not understand it ! how can they be so dense not to take my advice when it 's perfectly clear that i know what 's best for them ? [ sighs ] allie : the reason i have n't wanted to tell anyone about the father is that i 'm scared of how they 'll react . what they 'll do . nicole : well , i wo n't do anything you do n't want me to do . allie : i believe you . the thing is ... [ knock on door ] lucas : allie ? allie , it 's dad . come on , i really , really need to talk to you . allie : i can't . please . nicole : okay , i -- i 'll try to get rid of him . allie : okay . nicole : just stay back here . lucas : nicole , i really need to talk to allie . nicole : lucas , now is not a good time . lucas : i do n't care . i do n't give a damn . i 'm her father , and i wan na see her now to talk about things . thank you . right here . we have to continue our conversation , okay ? allie : i do n't have anything more to say . nicole : uh , allie has already made a decision . lucas : really ? what does that mean , nicole ? nicole : allie 's decided not to terminate the pregnancy . lucas : really ? honey , that 's great news . i 'm so proud of you . come on , let 's get you to kayla , okay , come on , we 'll get you checked out . lucas : dad . lucas : no , it 'll be fine . we 'll go to the hospital , get you medically cleared , and then you can hop on a plane and have the baby in europe . allie : dad , i love you , but there is no way that that is happening . back off ! will : i 'm just , um , i 'm afraid gabi is setting herself is setting herself up for another huge disappointment . sonny : you do n't think there 's any chance ? will : that stefan , who had his heart removed , has been living in philadelphia as jake lambert ? sonny : you were living in memphis as ej dimera . will : okay , that 's a good point , yeah . sonny : when ben first told me that you were alive , i desperately wanted to believe it , even after everyone told me it was impossible . will : yeah , you never gave up . sonny : no , because if there was the slightest chance that my husband was alive , i was n't gon na give that up . so i followed my gut , and i found you . will : but you know you 're not playing fair . sonny : i 'm just saying , i understand why gabi is so driven to find the truth . i mean , what if jake is her husband ? what if stefan is living this other life ? and what if gabi can bring him back ? jake : you do n't have the book ? gwen : not on me . jake : i left you a million messages telling you to bring it to me ! gwen : do you really think i 'm that stupid to bring something that valuable and not get anything for it ? jake : what are you talking about ? gwen : i bet your boss would pay a pretty penny for that book , would n't he ? i want my cut . jake : cut ? the only cut you 're gon na get , gwen , is from these guys across your pretty little throat ! gwen : i 'm not scared of you . and you know what ? as long as i 've got the book , i 've got all the leverage , do n't i ? jake : you do n't wan na mess with these guys , gwen . gwen : i do n't trust you . i think you 're just trying to screw me out of a deal . jake : what deal ? i 'm not trying to sell the book , gwen , i 'm going to exchange it for my safety and freedom . gwen : i do n't believe you . jake : what is it gon na take for you to give that book back to me ? gwen : i want an apology . gabi : you did n't talk to rolf ? what ? when you saw me at the police station , you promised you would . you said you would get him to admit he set me up ! rafe : i know , but something came up . gabi : something came up ? what could be more important than this ? rafe : david 's custody hearing . gabi : oh , rafe , yes . oh , my god . why -- why did n't you tell me sooner ? okay , what happened ? you have custody of david ? rafe : no , i lost . gabi : what ? rafe : i lost custody of david . zoey has him now . gabi : no , hold on , i do n't believe this . what kind of idiot judge gives custody of your son to -- to orpheus 's daughter ? rafe : well , she 's his only blood relative . gabi : we are his family . no , we have to do something about this . we have to appeal the verdict ; we have to sue -- rafe : there 's nothing to do , okay ? the decision has been made . it 's been made . gabi : i ca n't believe this , rafe . rafe : yeah . but now all i can do is hope that zoey lets me be part of his life . gabi : oh , rafe , i 'm so sorry . rafe : i know . hope : why are you getting so upset ? kate : upset ? why am -- why am i -- why am i upset ? because -- because i am sick and tired of this , that 's why . i 'm just trying to make people 's lives better , and what do i get for not ? i get kicked in the teeth . you know , this -- this damn ceremony , see , i assumed that you and steve would be , i do n't know , honored by the fact that you 're being given keys to the city , so i went ahead and i had the ceremony funded ! and now , not only am i going to be embarrassed , abe is going to be embarrassed , and then he 's gon na be unhappy with me because i made him look like a fool . hope : oh , i did n't realize you funded the event already . kate : oh , yeah , i funded it . i sure did . but do n't worry about that , because that 's all on me , because i should have known that the whole thing would fall apart because no one ever listens to me , including my son ! hope : your son -- lucas ? what does -- what does he have to do with this ? kate : everything . lucas : honey , you ca n't have the baby here . allie : why not ? lucas : because this is n't your home , that 's why . allie : uncle eric and nicole invited me to stay . lucas : that 's very nice of them , but they have holly , okay ? this place is -- is packed as it is , you know , so ... nicole : uh , excuse me , but we 've already decided that -- lucas : thank you , enough , enough , please . your mother and i will handle this , okay -- we 'll help you every step of the way . allie : that 's not what i want . lucas : well , if you 're gon na be a mother , it does n't matter what you want anymore , does it ? i wanted more from my copd medicine , kate : so , that 's it . my granddaughter is pregnant , and lucas is in full - blown helicopter parent mode . and this whole situation is gon na crash and burn soon . hope : sorry to hear that . so you 're upset because -- kate : i 'm upset because lucas wo n't take my advice . but not only that , it 's because he threw it in my face that i was a bad parent , and he certainly would n't want my help . hope : well , he has to know that you only really want what 's best for him and allie , right ? kate : yeah . that sure is true . thanks for saying it . lucas : i 'm sorry , okay ? i did n't mean that . allie : yes , you did . lucas : no , i didn't . i ran into your grandmother earlier , and she pushes my buttons . you know she does ! she thinks she can save the world from everything . allie : yeah , well , at least grandma kate knows that i 'm an adult and this is my decision . lucas : well , if you start acting like an adult , i 'll start treating you like one . allie : excuse me ? lucas : you have to take responsibility . you have to accept the consequences . you 're the one who went out and got yourself pregnant ! allie : oh , yeah , is what you and mom did when you had will ? lucas : allie , come on , no , just listen to me -- allie : forget it ! just forget it ! rafe : i 'm sorry . i am sorry for dropping the ball and not grilling rolf . gabi : it 's okay ; it 's fine . rafe : no , it 's not . no , it is not okay . it is not fine , and i am committed to proving your innocence , and i 'm gon na go down to statesville , and i 'm gon na get in that mad doctor 's face . gabi : now ? rafe : yeah , now -- i 'm gon na do what i shoulda done , and i 'm not gon na leave there until i get a -- i get a confession out of him . gabi : that means the world to me . rafe : you 're gon na beat this , you know that ? you 're gon na beat it . gabi : rafe , thank you for believing in me when i 've given you a lot of reasons to doubt me . rafe : a few . it 's all right . go get ready , okay ? you got a court date . you do n't wan na be late . gabi : i know i 'm innocent . and in the end , the truth will come out . jake : an apology ? for what ? gwen : for what ? for what ? for that horrible fight that we had back in philly that started his entire bloody mess . jake : i do n't owe you an apology -- you 're the one who should be sorry ! gwen : oh , sorry , really ? for you being all over denise delvecchio in that dark corner over at mike 's place ? jake : i told you , it was business . nothing happened . gwen : right , yeah , 'cause she was so dressed for business , was n't she ? it 's hard to be successful when you 're giving away the whole bloody store away for free , jake . jake : well , maybe she was offering , but i was n't interested . gwen : wow ! 'cause you 're such a stand - up bloke , are n't you ? jake : like i said before , gwen , it 's all in your head . the jealousy ? gwen : i would n't be jealous if you did n't give me a reason to be . jake : [ laughs ] you always do this . gwen : you always do this ! so are you going to apologize or not ? jake : sure . you 'll get your apology ... when hell freezes over . gwen : well , then i guess i 'll see you in hell . you 're not using too much are you hon ? will : you know , i was thinking maybe we should drive gabi to court , you know , just to make sure she 's there on time . sonny : it 's not a bad idea . [ doorbell rings ] allie : hi , will . will : allie ! hey ! i heard you were in town . hi . oh , my god , allie . you 're pregnant . lucas : do n't you dare look at me like that , okay ? i 'm trying to do what 's best for my daughter . nicole : i know . and believe it or not , so am i . lucas : maybe it 's time to call her mom and get her involved in this . nicole : oh , lucas . this should go without saying , but bringing sami brady into any situation , particularly this one , is the worst possible thing you could do ! kate : well , i guess i could stay chatting , but i do have things to do . maybe next time we can catch up at an , i do n't know , a meeting at the chapter of concerned parents anonymous . hope : sounds like a plan . okay . you 're gon na talk to lucas , are n't you ? kate : oh , i sure am . i have to stop him from being so overprotective before drives her completely away , and before you say anything , i -- i recognize the irony in what i 'm saying . hope : mm - hmm . kate , wait . about the key . kate : oh , do n't -- do n't even worry about it , okay ? i know you do n't wan na accept it -- that 's fine . i mean , i was just upset , and that 's why i was pushing -- hope : i 'll accept the key to the city . kate : what ? hope : i 'll take it . kate : seriously ?

[ scene_break ] marlena : karen , what would you suggest for this pregnancy ? karen : well , it 's difficult without really knowing anything about her -- her temperament , her personality . marlena : well , she 's , uh , a professional woman . she is clearheaded , intelligent , practical , and -- and ... and sometimes her emotions get the best of her . karen : sounds like you know her pretty well . has she been a patient for long ? marlena : actually , i just really understand the way she thinks . karen : that 's what makes you such a good psychiatrist . it looks like she 's been married for a while -- happily ? marlena : yes , very happily . yes , except there have been a few little bumpy patches lately . karen : is her husband willing to do whatever it takes to help her get through the pregnancy ? marlena : he does n't know about the pregnancy . karen : she has n't told him ? marlena : well , um , we were just trying to gather information for the time being . karen : i 'm a little confused , marlena . in my experience , happily married women usually tell their husbands that they 're pregnant before they tell their therapists , and they usually ca n't wait to make their ob - gyn appointment . so why is your patient having you intervene ? marlena : well , she has got some concerns , and so we 're just hoping to analyze it first . karen : you have to know that this is a bit irregular . i mean , you 're asking me to give you medical advice on a patient that i have n't examined or even seen . i mean , this is a high - risk pregnancy . your patient needs to make an appointment with an ob - gyn -- she needs to either call me or make an appointment with another ob - gyn as soon as possible . you need to tell her that . marlena : no , no , what i need to do is i need to tell you the truth . the woman that we 're talking about -- uh , the patient who is pregnant is me . [ scene_break ] bo : you 're only bringing up billie to confuse the issue . you know you do n't have anything to worry about -- losing me to her , and she 's got nothing to do with belle , philip , and shawn . hope : it 's why i understand what shawn 's going through , why he had to go to her . bo : him going to her is a mistake . hope : why is that ? is n't true love worth fighting for ? it used to be . bo : okay , let 's look at the facts . hope : all right . bo : he leaves the country , he 'll be violating the terms of his bail . court finds out , he 'll go to jail . so when he goes to trial for riding his motorcycle through the window at st. luke 's , it wo n't look so good . and if he does n't get back for this trial , additional charges will be filed against him and a warrant put out for his arrest . now , in your book , breaking up this marriage is much more important than that ? hope : you know what ? bo : what ? hope : if you wanted to stop him , you could have . bo : i tried to stop him . hope : not very hard . bo : what 'd you want me to do , lock him in his room ? he 's a grown man . the only thing keeping him from flying off to germany was the fact that he did n't have the money , but you took care of that little problem , did n't you ? hope : brady ... bo : what ? hope : the real reason you did n't fight to keep him from going was because you knew , in his shoes , you , my love , would do exactly the same thing . bo : what ? hope : if you thought you were gon na lose the woman of your dreams , nothing on earth would keep you from going to her . bo : that 's exactly my point . he already lost her . she 's married . hope : it was a mistake . bo : so philip should pay for this mistake ? hope : oh , wait a second . i think i get it now . so it 's better for him to live the rest of his life in a loveless marriage . bo : and who says it 's loveless , smarty - pants ? shawn ? belle obviously loved him enough to marry him . hope : all right , smarty - pants . you and i both know that that was before shawn and belle reconnected . bo : they reconnected a little too late . belle was already a married woman . and if shawn had left her alone , she never would have questioned her commitment to philip . shawn is not going over there to be a supportive friend . he 's going over there to stake a claim . he 's just gon na make things worse for everybody . hope : she needs shawn . bo : no , she does n't . she 's gon na be pulled in two different directions when she should be focused on her husband . three people in a marriage -- it 's disaster .

[ grunts ] i think nick -- nick is gon na feel inferior if you 're hanging out with someone else , even if there really is nothing going on . chelsea : so that makes it okay ? max : no . it is what it is because he 's a guy who 's not in the same league as you , and he knows it . chelsea : please . max : like that 's the first time you 've heard someone tell you that . i mean , if nick had a kick - ass car and a house by the lake , i think you two would be better off . rich guys always get the hot girls . chelsea : oh . that 's a really nice view of women there , max . no wonder you do n't have a girlfriend . max : maybe i do n't want to be tied down , huh ? you ever thought of that ? maybe i want to keep my options open . chelsea : the only thing you 'd like to keep open is the door to your bedroom . max : hey , this is n't about me . it 's about you , all right ? this is about you and nick . hey , look , i think it -- i think it 's maybe a good thing that you broke up with him . chelsea : yeah , well , he broke up with me . max : wait . what ? really ?

'cause i thought she knew me . down to my soul . but she -- she -- she really does n't . hope : wait a second . you 're the one who told eric ? it was n't daniel ? jennifer : [ sighs ] no , i told him because nicole knows how to work daniel . and he just allows it to happen , so i feel like if i did n't tell eric , i am convinced he still would n't know . daniel : jennifer had zero faith in me . there was something important i had to do . and she did n't -- she did n't believe that i 'd do it . jennifer : daniel 's not mad that eric knows . hope : then what is he mad at ? jennifer : he is n't . he 's hurt . he 's crushed . because i had to be honest with him . i know his relationship with nicole . and i know that she would keep daniel from telling eric the truth . daniel : i mean , it 's basic . jennifer 's opinion of me means a great deal , obviously . i mean , more than a great deal . and i saw it ... deep down , she does n't -- she does n't believe in me . jennifer : i really did n't think that it was that b big of a deal . i mean , i did n't mean it as some giant attack on his character or who he is or whatever he thought it was . i -- but he was so hurt that i wanted to take it all back . hope : but you did n't . jennifer : no , he would 've seen right through that . but it 's okay , because we 're gon na get through this . i mean , we have to . daniel and i should be together . daniel : and since then , i 've been doubting myself . maybe jenn does see things more clearly than i do . i mean , maybe i 'm not the man i think i am . maggie : do you think you would 've done the right thing in this situation ? daniel : i thought i had . but , yeah , going forward , i would have . maggie : well , then i 'm sorry , because jennifer rose is flat out wrong . i hate to see you so broken up . daniel : i 'll live . maggie : well , maybe you need some time . you know , a little perspective . daniel : maybe . maggie : well , like you said , the two of you are just taking a break . jenn needs some time to see that she 's wrong about you . daniel : i do n't know if she 'll ever see it that way . aiden : hey , i hope i 'm not interrupting . jennifer : hi . aiden : but hope said she was gon na be here , is that -- jennifer : yes , absolutely . come on in . aiden : hey . hope : aiden ? aiden : ah , you , uh -- you tell jennifer ? jennifer : tell me what ? hope : uh , we do n't need to do this now . jennifer : it 's okay . aiden : i 'm sorry . is this a bad time ? jennifer : no , it 's not . it 's fine , really . it sounds like it 's good news . aiden : it is good news . in fact , we got the salem inn ballroom for the st. luke 's gala . jennifer : [ gasps ] that 's fantastic . aiden : yes , it is . now , we know it 's gon na be a fun event for the entire family . so i 'm just thinking that maybe you , dr. dan -- the power couple that you are -- might want to sponsor a table . jennifer : you know what ? i just -- i 'm not sure -- aiden : i 'm sure two fantastic people like yourself can find 14 people -- family , friends , strangers -- whoever would pony up a little scratch for a table . jennifer : i 'm not really sure that -- aiden : all right , i 'm going to be blunt here , okay ? please forgive me , all right ? he is a doctor ; his godfather is -- well , he 's the godfather . hope : aiden -- aiden : i think daniel can handle this . hope : aiden . aiden : no , no , you know what ? you 're right . you 're right . give me his phone number , i -- hope : you know what ? you got to stop . enough . [ snaps fingers ] okay ? bev : [ sighs ] that hurts . jj : cole told me what you did . bev : let go of me . jj : ca n't run . bev : who said i 'm running ? cole is a loser and a liar . he 's mad at me because i would n't go out with him . so whatever he told you , it 's -- jj : you wanted to set paige up . bev : that 's ridiculous . jj : i agree . because you have to know that it would n't work . bev : of course it would n't , because she 's a brain and a goddess . jj : yeah . bev : she 's a bitch , jj . and you could do better . jj : oh , you mean you ? bev : yeah , me . paige : that sounds serious . eve : well -- it is , sweetheart . um ... you are such -- such a good girl and so smart and ... but you have such a big heart , and everyone is going to be jealous of you , and they are gon na try to bring you down to their level . paige : is this about cousin joan ? because i barely see her . we 're on different schedules . and i know you think she 's the kind of person -- eve : no , no , no , sweetheart . no , no , no , no , no . no . it 's not who i 'm talking about . i 'm talking about my family . i 'm talking about aunt theresa . theresa : did you take a vow of silence ?

just tell me . brady : i want more . theresa : the more that you 're talking about ... you want that with me ? brady : yeah . it 's not that i just saw you with that jerk at the hospital , okay ? i do n't like the idea of you with anyone else . when i see you with anyone else , i do n't like it . i hate it . i do n't think i would feel that way if i did n't care , right ? theresa : [ laughs ] i 'm not an expert . daniel : i mean , did n't you think that this whole thing with us was just about the sex and the booze and the drugs and the -- you know , the good times and the -- and the free stuff that you got from me -- theresa : um , is that why you think that i 'm around ? brady : no , but it 's been fun ; we 've had fun . theresa : yeah , it has . brady : but what if you take all of that other stuff away ? i mean -- maybe ... there 's something else . i 'm not saying i want to go cold turkey tomorrow or anything . that 's crazy , but -- without all that other stuff , i mean , maybe there 's something here . what do you think about that ? paige : theresa ? i 've had zero contact with her , like you told me . eve : good . we 're gon na keep it that way . paige : she 's really that bad ? eve : i 'm just glad she has n't seen you since you were a little girl . paige : i do n't even remember back then . eve : well , i 'm hoping that theresa is the same way . i mean , it 'd be a blessing , 'cause that way , if you two do run into each other here in salem , she wo n't even recognize you . paige : and we can just avoid her , right ? eve : well , that 's going to be a little harder . grandpa shane , well ... he did n't tell her that you were in town , but he told her that i was in town . paige : ugh , no way . eve : yeah , well , what was i going to do , sweetheart ? you know , i could n't say no to him . i told him i would -- i 'd check in on her . but i 'm gon na tell you this much -- i 'm going to make sure she stays away from you . that 's for sure . paige : oh , mom . would you stop worrying ? i can handle her . eve : you should n't have to handle her , honey . paige : you ca n't protect me forever . eve : really ? watch me . bev : you put paige on such a pedestal . jj : she deserves it . bev : do you ? jj : what 's that supposed to mean ? bev : forget it . jj : no . what ? bev : i do n't judge you , jj . but she will and -- jj : stay away from paige , bev . and me . you crossed the line . bev : whatever . jj : hey , you do n't know her at all . i do belong with paige . and you ca n't ruin it for us . so do n't embarrass yourself by trying , okay ? hope : sorry . aiden : okay , what 's wrong ? jennifer : my sweet cousin was trying to spare me , but it 's okay . daniel and i are taking a little break . aiden : oh ... jennifer : so we wo n't be able to ... aiden : yeah , yeah , no , no -- i got it . i -- i 'm sorry . jennifer : i mean , you did n't know . no , you 'd had no idea . but you know what ? i know a lot of people , and i can call them , and i can make sure they come and -- aiden : you do n't have to do that , no . hope : we should probably get going to that catering meeting that we had . aiden : yeah , yeah . we should -- hope : yeah , we 're gon na go . aiden : i 'm so sorry , jennifer , and i hope it all works out . jennifer : yeah , me too . thank you . hope : sorry . jennifer : no , please . love you . hope : i love you too . i 'm gon na scoot out this way . jennifer : yeah . love you . hope : okay . i love you , cuz . jennifer : [ sighs deeply ] maggie : do n't you think jennifer loves you ? daniel : i know she does . and i love her . i miss her . maggie : well , then frankly , what 's the problem ? because if the woman loves you , then she believes in you , daniel . how can this be a big thing ? daniel : jennifer does n't think it is or has to be . maggie : but you do ? daniel : mom , i know this sounds crazy , but i ca n't forget . i ca n't ignore what jenn thinks , who she thinks i am . i wish i could . maggie : daniel ... this sounds awfully final . bolder . bigger . theresa : [ laughs ] you 're -- you 're just embarrassed because you were acting like a jealous jackass before , and so you 're trying to make it into something that i -- scratch that . it 's -- wow . this is serious . okay , no , i -- i can -- i can be serious . no , really , watch , i -- [ laughs ] i will be -- brady : you 're still smiling . all right , you look serious now . theresa : [ laughing ] okay . look , the truth is , brady ... i really like when you 're serious . and i like that you 're serious about us . brady : really ? theresa : yeah , i -- i kind of like everything that you had to say . paige : so you 'll come to dinner with jj 's mom tonight ? eve : hmm , i 'm going to think about it , okay ? it 's been a really , really , really long day . and , well , from the sounds of things , it does n't look like this boy 's going anywhere . paige : why does it sound like you 're backing out ? eve : i 'm not . i just -- i - i 'm weary in advance . i got to deal with aunt theresa right now . paige : hmm , hang tough . and do n't give her any money . eve : hmm , or our address . although , that might be a really good way to get rid of her . [ laughs ] god , is there any ventilation in this place ? paige : the a.c. is broken . eve : no kidding . would you leave the door open when you go ? 'cause it smells like kitty litter and cheese puffs in here . paige : ugh . and neither of those have been in the house as long as i 've been here . eve : [ laughs ] now i 'm scared to sleep here , sweetie . [ both laughing ] paige : see you soon . eve : okay , babe . okay . leave the door open for me . paige : uh - huh . eve : thank you . ugh . oh , boy . [ phone ringing ] theresa : ah . it 's a blocked number . brady : do n't answer it . theresa : no , come on , hey . look , it might be the hospital , all right ? and i did kind of just skip out on them at the last minute . brady : go on ; answer it . theresa : okay . hello ? hello ? can you hear me ? daniel : look , i 'm sorry , uh , to be so negative . it 's just so -- so fresh , and i -- i have to be honest . maggie : mm . when have n't you been ? daniel : you ca n't invent a fantasy world where the person you 're with has just the qualities you want and nothing else . you have to accept them for who they truly , truly are . maggie : yeah . i know that one . daniel : yes . yes , you do . maggie : but you and jennifer were so good for each other . daniel : yeah , i thought so . but look , you know , maybe you 're right , though . maybe you 're right . just a little time , and things will -- things will be resolved , right ? maggie : that 's what i like to hear . daniel : hey , all right . hope : what do you think about this menu ? aiden : which ? hope : i think it has pretty good choices . good balance . did you even look at it ? aiden : hope , i 'm sorry about earlier . hope : aiden , it 's okay . you did n't know . jenn will be fine . she 's a real trouper . aiden : yeah , you 'd just think i would 've learned my lesson back when -- hope : what ? aiden : hmm ? ah , nothing , i just -- hope : no , no , no . what were you going to say ? aiden : just have a real knack -- that 's all -- of saying the wrong thing , alienating people . hope : when ? you said you should 've learned better back when ? what did you mean ?

why would she do that to you ? nicole : well , i mean , she -- she thinks it would be easier this way . i would n't have to watch her raise holly . brady : i do n't -- i do n't agree that holly 's better off without you . nicole : brady , i - i 'm so confused , you know . i mean , i think it would kill me to just be a visitor in holly 's life , but it also scares me to hell to think that she 'll never know who i am and know how much i love her . brady : [ shushing ] do n't talk like that . remember our special night ? the way that kayla was putting me down to joey after lunch . tripp : she ca n't do that from prison . jade : that 's what i 'm counting on . kayla 's the only thing standing between me and joey . tripp : well , then , you 're in good shape . because she 's finally going to pay for what she did to my mom . kayla : you know , it 's really something sitting there with tripp today . i just kept thinking about all the things that ava did to us when she was alive . and now we were sitting there with her son buying us lunch like he 's just a part of our family . steve : well , he is now . more and more . kayla : i guess we 're blessed . steve : especially me . baby . kayla : what ?

[ scene_break ] anna : hello , shawn . it 's been a long time . shawn : anna . what are you doing here ? what 's going on ? bo : we 've been talking about your sister colleen . sami : grandpa , how come you never told me that i look like her ? you must have seen the resemblance . grandpa , if you 're scared , i 'm scared , too . bo : pop , we got to talk about this ... and about these letters -- love letters from colleen to santo dimera . john : we need the whole story , shawn , for the sake of your children and your grandchildren . roman : yeah , pop , what happened to her ? shawn : [ exhales sharply ] she was murdered in the most horrible way you could ever imagine -- murdered by a dimera . their hands are stained with her blood until they 're delivered to the devil himself . [ scene_break ] stefano : we are marked ? our fate is sealed indelibly ? hmm ? how far do you think we have fallen ? tony : i think celeste has summed it all up . stefano : well , if you have such disregard for this family , then why do n't you pack your bags and get the hell out of here ? find yourself a hole to hide in , because i can not tolerate such disloyalty from a son of mien . tony : i have never been disloyal to you ! stefano : ha ! tony : i have been your faithful right hand . i have run your business ... because you are ill . stefano : ahh . trying the crown on for size before the king is dead ? tony : if that 's what you really think , why would i have gone to all that trouble to try and prolong your life ? the only reason we are having this discussion is because this son of a bitch has fallen in love with the enemy -- a blond bimbo who 's got him like a love slave . you know , it makes me want to puke . e.j . : are you finished , tony ? stefano : stop it ! stop it ! stop it ! this family has come ... to a crossroads . and the direction it takes is not decided yet . and whether i decide to end this vendetta or not ... nothing can be decided until you two will decide your differences . e.j . : please . i 've tried . stefano : well , try harder . you are brothers , for god 's sake . act like it . embrace each other .

[ sniffles ] most of the time . julie : you 're really good at hiding it . maggie : i 'm an expert . julie : you 're just mourning , darling . it has n't been that long . maggie : mm - mm . no . [ sniffles ] sometimes it just feels like it was yesterday . see , i ... i fear that if victor would want this to go further , i 'm not sure that i could handle it . i mean , in fact , if i 'm completely honest ... i think maybe the only reason that i 've been interested in victor is because i know in my heart of hearts that he does n't really want to be with me . see , it makes it safe , you know ? brady : i had nothing to do with what happened to ej . victor : that 's your story , and you 're sticking to it , huh ? brady : i have calls to make . talk to melanie . she saw the whole thing . melanie : brady ... [ ahem ] bra -- victor : so those louts that brady supposedly tangled with ... the ones that made insulting remarks about me ... how many were there ? melanie : three . victor : age , height , weight ? melanie : i do n't know . i was n't paying attention . i was only caring about brady , but there were three white dudes with big mouths . that 's all i know . sorry . victor : you know , hearing that brady came to my defense last night -- especially with everything that 's been going down between us -- really touched me . got me off - point , too , though . which you knew it would . melanie : what ? victor : you lied to me , melanie . do n't ever do that again . bo : i 'm here to take junior 's statement . and that 's what i 'm gon na do . stefano : look , we both know you do n't give a damn what happened to him , right ? which makes me wonder -- why are you so anxious to get into his room ? jennifer : no , uh ... nothing -- nothing 's wrong . i 'm just exhausted . i brought carly home . she did n't have her car , and now i 'm about to head home . daniel : okay . okay . well , i do n't know how to thank you for everything you did . jennifer : i - i did n't do that much , really . daniel : seems like a lot to me . will i , um , see you soon ? jennifer : yeah . yeah . i ca n't wait . okay . so where were we ? carly : um ... not sure . are you accusing me of doing drugs ? hope : get away from her , rafe ! taylor : oh , thank god , thank god . rafe : we were just talking . taylor : oh , my god , he would n't let me go -- i did n't know what he was gon na do . hope : you 're okay now . you 're okay . this was really stupid . rafe : what ? i did n't hurt her . like i said , we 're just talking . hope : yeah , well , how about you talk to me instead ? [ softly ] go keep an eye on your double . rafe : [ softly ] what about ej ? hope : bo 's got it covered . go . rafe : i 'm going . all right . taylor : wait , wait , wait , wait -- why are you letting him go ? he 's a murderer ! oh , my god ! oh , my god , i was right . you are protecting him ! tell me -- tell me , hope , i - is it because he 's a cop or is it because he 's married to a brady ? hope : we do n't have enough evidence to arrest him . taylor : i heard him confess ! hope : no . what he said was that ... it may not be admissible in court . taylor : why not ? hope : taylor , listen to me . i gave you my word -- your mother 's death will not go unpunished . taylor : yeah ? and w - why should i believe you when you let him run free ? what if he hurts somebody else ? hope : he wo n't . taylor : how do you know that ? oh , my god , i 'm getting out of here . hope : wait . where are you going ? taylor : i 'm going to the hospital to see ej . he needs me . hope : wait a minute . why does ej need you ? oh , my god . please . do n't tell me that you and ej are together . nicole : know what galls me the most ? [ ej grunts ] nicole : is that i did n't go to the police the second i found out what happened , because if i had , then i -- ej : [ laughing ] aw ! oh , bo . bo : hey , junior . nicole . have i once again interrupted a marital spat ? nicole : no . no , actually . your timing is just about perfect . i 'd like one of those desserts and some coffee . melanie : victor ... divorce is final . i 'm not a member of the family anymore , which means i do n't have to do what you say . victor : you 're not afraid of me , are you ? melanie : no , i am . just not in the way you 're used to . victor : you think i 'm bad for your friend brady . melanie : i know you 're bad for brady , just like you were for philip . victor : oh ? well , are n't you going to tell me why ? melanie : do i have to ? victor : oh , please , continue . why am i bad for brady and philip ? melanie : you charm them . you impress them . you make them love you and want your approval ... and then at the last second , when they least expect it , you turn around and tell both of them neither of them is a real man . so they go off and they do stupid and reckless things to try and prove you otherwise . victor : sounds like you 've been spending too much time with maggie . melanie : sounds like you have n't been spending nearly enough . food for thought . bye , victor . julie : i thought old victor was good for you . maggie : ooh . i hate that phrase . julie : which one ? maggie : saying that victor was good for me . sounds like i need fixing . julie : maggie ... what i meant was when mickey passed , when ... well , victor seemed to bring you back to life . not that you need fixing . maggie : well , he did do that . julie : and you did good things for him . you showed him what that marriage to vivian was doing to him , to his whole family . maggie : you 're right . julie : am i ? maggie : victor and i , w - we were good for each other . for a while . but it 's over . now we both need to move on in different directions . carly : you know , when i woke up , i thought you were gon na taste the powder . jennifer : yeah , because it 's ... what i see them do on tv . carly : ha . well , it 's aspirin that tastes pretty awful . jennifer : why would you crush up aspirin ? carly : well , first of all , it makes it work faster . and second , my stomach was a little iffy , so it helped keep it down . jennifer : right . because y - you had that bug , right ? carly : yeah . jennifer : okay . sorry . carly : it 's okay . it 's okay . jennifer : i mean , i know that you 've had a really hard year , you know , and your work schedule is very demanding , and you just seem tired all the time . carly : look , jennifer , come on . when we were in boarding school , were n't there drugs around ? jennifer : yeah . carly : okay . did you ever see me high ? jennifer : no . carly : right ? if i start using drugs , i 'm gon na be throwing away everything that keeps me going , you know ? my career , my family , friends like you . jennifer : oh . okay . look , carly , if you need anything -- carly : jennifer , i do n't . actually , i 'm feeling a lot better . jennifer : what ? you barely had any sleep . carly : i do well with short little naps like that . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na go get showered and dressed , and i 'm gon na go down to the hospital and relieve daniel . jennifer : are you kidding me ? carly : why should he sit there and watch ej sleep when he could be with you ? jennifer : carly , you do n't have to do this , okay ? carly : yes ... i do . stefano : my understanding is that you saved my son 's life . daniel : that 's just a bit of an overstatement , really . stefano : not to me . daniel : well , just doing my job . stefano : yes . here at the hospital . yes . but i was told ... that you were the one that found him on the pier , and you would not leave his side until you could get him here . daniel : yeah , well , yeah , he was in a bad way . stefano : [ exhales ] listen ... what do you need , hmm ? your own hospital ? because believe me , i can make that happen . daniel : uh ...

[ scene_break ] spencer : ej encouraged will to come forward with his alibi . roman : according to what will told us , yeah . spencer : hmm ... if ej had something to hide , you 'd think he 'd want a suspect in custody . rafe : yeah , well , he must 've known his case would n't hold up . spencer : what 've you got on junior ? rafe : junior -- oh . nothing , except stefano drew up a new will recently ... disinheriting junior . spencer : you 're serious ? rafe : oh , yeah . roman : yeah . but he was killed before he could sign it . spencer : any ideas why stefano wanted ej cut off from the family fortune ? [ scene_break ] ej : see , william , if you display any sort of weakness , you become vulnerable . you need to learn to protect yourself . will : what 's your weakness ? your family ? ej : what 's left of it . that was my father 's weakness too , you know . it 's always important to prepare yourself for the next attack . [ scene_break ] spencer : so ej fell out of favor with his father ? roman : yeah , well , actually , the fallout could 've happened both ways . spencer : i 'm listening . rafe : billie reed found out that stefano gave us the tip that helped clear john black of the embezzlement charges . spencer : i remember . roman : yeah , and she fed that information to ej , hoping he would say something to implicate himself in the plot . rafe : but he did n't , of course . spencer : that was the beginning of the end for stefano . rafe : seems so . roman : you see , ej 's plan to bring down john had been in the works for months . i mean , it was pretty much an airtight case , and then stefano shot the hell out of it . rafe : god , that had to have hurt ... to be betrayed by your own father like that , to have him choose his greatest enemy over you . [ scene_break ] ej : my father is gone , william . i have no choice but to take his place at the head of our family , our investments . there can be no doubt as to who is in charge . spencer : he definitely had motive , opportunity . question is , is ej dimera the kind of man to shoot his father in cold blood ? ej : excellent . when you 're finished , do me a favor . print those out and put them to one side for me . will : you want to keep them ? ej : of course . they 're about me . will : yeah , but they 're -- they 're a joke . it 's nothing substantial . they 're just speculating that you might be , i do n't know , taking over your father 's position , stepping into his shoes . ej : were you not listening to a word that i said earlier ? that 's exactly what i 'm doing . will : well , i ... know . i 'm just thinking about ... you know , chad . he 's a dimera too , and if i were him ... ej : what about chad ? he 's made it very clear he wants absolutely nothing to do with the family business . evidently , he thinks it 's beneath him . loyalty , william ... is something that is very important in this world , especially to me . will : i know . ej : do you really ? really ? 'cause it rather seems to me that you have forgotten that i was the person who encouraged you to go forward and clear your name in my father 's murder , and now you sit here and you 're insinuating -- insinuating that somehow i seem to be taking away from chad what 's rightfully his . will : that 's not what i 've been doing at all . i 'm not insinuating that . ej : may i ask you a question ? what do you see when you look at me ? will : um ... ej : do you see some , uh ... heartless bastard , some ... [ sighs ] some chip off the old block who just takes whatever he wants ? that -- is that what you see ? will : no . ej : well , you should , 'cause that 's who i am . that 's who i have to be .

[ stammering ] i mean , that 's nuts ! and what about my mom and your parents . even if we could get them here in time , they 're expecting a big wedding . rex : i know this and i 've thought about this , so hear me out . my dad , he just lost his mom , and my mom is still emotionally crazed because of will and all of the health problems that he has been through and your mom , she 's going through a terrible time , and even if she was n't , planning our wedding would n't exactly be her favorite thing in the world because she hates me . sarah : she does n't hate you . rex : all right , you 're right . she does n't hate me , but she thinks i 'm not worthy of you . sarah , think about it . we do n't need anybody else because we have each other . hope : ted would never work for you and jack . eve : well , i 'm not so sure about that . i mean , i put a phone call into him , he has n't called me back , so i 'm assuming he 's still thinking about it . hope , when 's the last time you talked to him ? hope : why are you asking ? eve : only because , unless you 've heard otherwise , who knows , maybe ted is reconsidering his options , personally and professionally .

[ door opens ] damn it ! hey ! what the hell are you doing here ? ciara : i just came back from my grandma 's wake . and being there , it reminded me how much my grandma loved will and then that got me thinking about how wrong i was about ben weston in the first place . so i came here to give the bastard his key back . eve : his key ? ciara : to his place . cleared out all my stuff . told him i basically never want to see him again . and i owe you an apology . eve , with everything that paige went through , i just -- it must have been so hard for you to just watch me give ben the benefit of the doubt and i am so sorry for that . and i 'm grateful for you and what you did . thanks to you , i finally know the kind of man ben weston really is . tripp : hey , claire , come on . you need to calm down just as little bit , all right ? claire : oh , do n't touch me !

well i bet your mom 's , like , freaking out right now . abigail : yeah , pretty much . but kiriakis blood did n't ruin you or your dad , did it ? i think chad can handle being a dimera . lexie : taylor , have you seen my father ?

man : oh , will 's here . [ door closes ] will : hey . caroline : hey . will : how 's your mom ? gabi : oh , she 's fine . she just -- she feels awful that she ca n't make it to the graduation . did you -- did you find out who that guy with abigail is ? will : uh , he 's her cousin . man : that 's what they all say . will : no , he is . he 's her aunt adrienne 's son . gabi : oh , good . well , i 'm glad that abigail and chad are cool . will : me too . gabi : just like we are , right ? will : yeah . sure . gabi : so prove it . will : what ? gabi : kiss me . will : um , you mean , like , now , in front of , uh , people ? gabi : yeah . why not ? will : i do n't -- because it 's , like , a little embarrassing , weird . gabi : fine . if you do n't kiss me , i 'm gon na kiss you . lexie : father . stefano : oh , alexandra . lexie : ej 's going to be fine . stefano : ahh , thank god . lexie : yeah . [ both chuckle ] stefano : you are a brilliant surgeon . lexie : well , i did n't perform the surgery , but it was done beautifully . the surgeon was able to tie off the bleeder with a laparoscopy . he went in through the stomach , which means the recovery time will be much faster . stefano : and we are gon na see him through it . lexie : yeah . stefano : because that 's what families do . and this family is one of the best . lexie : well , there are some who might argue with that . stefano : to hell with them . hmm ? they do not understand us . i have always protected those i love from strangers , and i always will . nicole : oh , mom ... what did i do to you ? fay : it was n't you , nikki . rafe did it to me , because of what ej did to him . nicole : yeah , but i was stupid enough to marry ej again . i convinced you to move in that house , and if i had n't have done that , you would still be here right now . fay : you wanted to feel like you had a family . i know that . nicole : yeah . i thought this is -- this is what it means to be a rich man 's wife . i could give my mother the best of everything . and it 's such a crock ! fay : nikki , you did n't marry ej because he was rich . you married him so you could be with sydney . and you were a good mom to her , and to johnny . and you were a good daughter to me . nicole : but i lost all of you . i should have known i can never be sydney and johnny 's mother . i mean , not really . i lost my sister . ej fell in love with taylor ! fay : and you know what you 've got to do now , do n't you ? nicole : i do ? fay : get your sister away from that man , nikki . nicole : why should i have to take care of her ? fay : what taylor did was wrong , but she is not your enemy . ej and stefano are . nicole : sometimes i think ej went after taylor to hurt me . fay : now you 're thinking . and he is gon na end up hurting her too , nikki . nicole : because she 's not as tough as me . fay : that 's my good , brave girl . and you 've got to get back at them , for my sake . and you 're gon na make sure they do n't get away with taking me from you . nicole : yes , mom . kate : oh ... you look so happy . stefano : ahh , well , elvis made it through . and chad is gon na be just like him . [ chuckles ] do you -- do you know that assignment that i sent him on ? kate : the one that he was so nervous about ? stefano : yes . he came through like a pro -- like a real dimera . kate : because he wants your approval . stefano : well , he 's got it . you know something ... with him in my life , and with you in my life , i feel like a young guy again . ba - boom ! [ clicks tongue ] kate : to me , my love , you were never anything else . stefano : well , elvis has made it clear -- he wants to be on his own . kate : seriously ? what the hell is he gon na do ? is he gon na become an accountant ? stefano : ah , it 's taylor 's influence . kate : i just do n't understand why he ca n't get it through his head that in about six months , he 's gon na be bored silly with her . stefano : ah , thank god that i have a woman in my life who understands what it means to be with a dimera man . kate : oh ... i do n't only understand ... i love it . stefano : uh - huh . kate : and i love how you are with your kids . stefano : because i 'm just like you . hmm ? i mean , if i did n't lie , cheat , and steal for my children ... kate : who can you do it for ? stefano : aye . will : um ... gabi : what 's wrong ? will : uh , well , we 're making out in front of people , and my grandmother is right there . gabi : okay , so let 's just go to our room . will : uh , yeah , we could do that . but um , it 's kinda like the middle of the day . gabi : so ? so what ? let 's just go . will : uh , yeah . my mom actually just called , and she has a million things to do before graduation and the party , so she asked me to pick up my suit from the dry cleaners . gabi : well , that takes , like , 20 minutes . kinsey : so do a lot of things . will : yeah , uh , but she sounded like a mess , and i should probably just go to make sure to check on her . and i 'll be back , though . i 'm just gon na ... yeah . caroline : [ coughs ] i -- i heard you say your mother would n't be at your graduation . i 'm really sorry . gabi : thank you . caroline : i think maybe you have another problem , huh ? you want to talk about it ? i 'm a scorpio . i can keep my mouth shut . gabi : even if it 's about will ? chad : hi . abigail : hi . what are you doing here ? chad : um , ej , he just -- somebody beat him up last night . abigail : what ? do they know who did it ? chad : i do n't know . abigail : well , is he gon na be okay ? chad : well , i mean , that 's what lexie says , you know . but he had to get surgery this morning . i guess he 's -- he 's bleeding internally . i mean , you should have seen him when they wheeled him out of this room . his face was just so ... i mean , he 's always a guy that 's been so put together . you know , he goes to the gym every day . his hair is just -- [ clicks tongue ] the suits ... i mean , abigail , i thought he was gon na die . abigail : oh ... stefano : [ sighs ] well , i hope you 're lying there remembering who did this to you . we know it 's not rafael because we took care of that bastard . and it certainly is n't our double . he would n't bite the hand that feeds him . but i 'm gon na find out who did this ... one way or the other . ah , my voice wake you up ? [ chuckles ] gabi : i feel kind of weird talking about will to his grandmother . caroline : oh , darling , i 've explained brady men to their women for as long as i can remember . so go for it . gabi : okay . um , sometimes i feel like -- like he 's just not into me . caroline : well , gabi , i can see he likes you very much . gabi : maybe . maybe -- you know what , maybe it is just me being insecure , as usual . [ sighs ] i ca n't believe that i just did what i just did . oh , my god . caroline : what ? what ? gabi : i just kissed him in front of everyone , and i made such a fool of myself , and he could n't get away . i 'm so embarrassed . caroline : gabi , gabi , stop . gabi : i feel like such an idiot ! caroline : no , no , no . stop that , please . i think will is very lucky to have a lovely young girl like you in his life . but `` young `` is the operative word because you and will are really young . gabi : so -- so i 'm rushing things . is that what you mean ? caroline : when will was born , his mother was very young . she was a kid , actually . and will had to grow up really fast because sami had two more babies . so it makes sense to me that will might do anything to try to keep that from happening to his life , or yours . gabi : yeah , you 're absolutely right , mrs. brady . yeah , will 's not anxious about being in a serious relationship because we 're both still so young , and he does n't want us to make the same mistakes his mom did . caroline : mm - hmm . gabi : thank you . thank you so much for helping me understand that . will : understand what ? caroline : oh , hi . justin : so ... how about positano 's ? adrienne : well ... when do we leave ? sonny : hey ! not during work hours . adrienne : sonny ! justin : sonny ! sonny : hey . adrienne : oh , baby . justin : well , good to see you . sonny : how you doing ? justin : i thought you were n't supposed to get here till , like , 6 : 00 . sonny : i changed my flight , came a little early . hope you guys do n't mind . adrienne : oh , yeah , it 's such an inconvenience . justin : so how did you get here from o'hare ? sonny : i hitchhiked . adrienne : what ? sonny : i get her with that every time . no , i actually took one of those airport buses . adrienne : do you remember that time you ran away from home ? sonny : just that it was loads of fun . adrienne : [ chuckles ] your father and i should never have looked for you . sonny : hey , your mistake . adrienne : are you hungry ? sonny : no , i 'm good . adrienne : yeah ? sonny : uh - huh . justin : so how long have you been in town ? sonny : oh , i was walking around for a little while . justin : so how does salem look to you ? sonny : it 's good . actually , i ran into abigail . she 's all grown up . adrienne : i know . i think the whole family 's gon na be so happy to see you . sonny : i 'm really excited to see them too . especially uncle victor . okay , what 's wrong ?

kate : he married me to make me a dimera again . because shin 's smear campaign was so successful that none of the board members would have voted for him as ceo . andré : quite a few of the board members were planning to dismantle the entire enterprise . kate : they were gon na take the money and run , chad . andré : and they would only elect a dimera . kate : and i have run the company successfully before , as you well know . andré : and that 's why we got married . to make sure that the entire enterprise was still here intact when you returned . chad : huh . kate : and you 're back . right ? chad : yes . kate : we never lost hope . we never did . your brother loves you very much . he was a wreck . chad : i 'm sure he does , and this is a lot to digest . and if this proves not to be an attempt to grab power on my brother 's part , then thank you . but you do know that the board 's gon na expect you to stay a dimera for some time , so you 're gon na have to stay shackled to this guy -- andré : hello ? i 'm standing right here . chad : i know . gabi : he 's asking if you 're ready to throw away your life by marrying this man . eli : yeah , i know . i should call her . it 's just ... lani : it 's just what ? eli : things were just really bad between us . lani : you were angry at her . things being bad did n't keep her from calling you . eli : i know . lani : eli , she just went through hell . she did n't know if you were alive or dead . do you really want to hang on to this anger ? she made a mistake . a big one . but she did it out of love . in all of this , i mean , did you ever doubt that she loved you ? eli : no . lani : then for god 's sake , call her back . theo : hey , um , have you seen my sister ? valerie : no , not tonight . theo : okay , i 'm supposed to meet her here . valerie : oh , well , why do n't you wait with me . we can celebrate the good news of everybody making it home safely . theo : yeah , yeah , okay . [ clears throat ] so , um , my dad must have told you about me , claire , and the video . valerie : hmm . yeah . he also said that you had no idea there was a camera in the room . theo : yeah , no , i had no idea . valerie : it 's such a good thing that none of this got out onto the web . theo : yeah , yeah , um ... it did get me to start thinking , though , asking a lot of questions . valerie : oh , yeah ? thinking about what ? theo : about sex . you know , it all just turned out so differently than what i thought . so much more ... complicated . claire : just want to let you know that i did not know about that video until after jade made it . marlena : i do n't care about the details . but i am curious to hear how jade knew that you and theo were having sex . did you tell her that ? claire : i do n't know . girls talk about that stuff . marlena : and what about theo ? how does he feel about you discussing this ? how does he feel about this being part of your girl talk to your friends ? claire : sorry . i made a mistake . marlena : what do you think ? this is just no big deal ? claire ... sex is a very big step . and from what i 'm seeing you say and do ... i do n't think it 's a step you 're ready to take yet . sonny : wow , i know it 's gon na be a challenge to get titan back on track , but i am up for the challenge , uncle vic . victor : well , i hope you are . you 're the new ceo . i just want to make sure that you understand that it 's sink or swim time . because you 're gon na be making decisions that go beyond titan . sonny : i get it . victor : i do n't think you do . you know , it 's gon na start out with coloring outside the lines . and it may go a bit further . sonny : do you think i ca n't handle the gray area ? victor : no , i ... i know you have a strong sense of right and wrong . a code of ethics . before you make some snide that i your sense of decency . i just do n't want to see you get crammed down a rabbit hole . because once you 're down there , sonny , it 's very hard to climb out . kate : thank you both for your concern , really , i mean it , but you do n't have to worry about us . we both know this is a business arrangement . chad : i 'm aware that andré loves to make a good deal . especially one that gets him closer to running my company . kate : okay , i told you before that 's not how it happened . we always knew that you were coming back , and we both agreed that i would give up reins of the company to you after six months . chad : six months ? meanwhile , he will be married to the ceo . andré : i was looking out for you . chad : well , then thank you . but i 'm back , and i 'm not happy with how the board handled all this , so i am gon na go fix it . excuse me . andré : you 're welcome . so good to have him back . gabi : kate , hey , listen . forget about the business stuff . now that you 've successfully taken yourself out of the market , what about -- what about if you meet the man that you love , what are you -- you 're gon na be married to him ? kate : i met the man i loved . and i ca n't have him . seems to be a pattern with me . it 's time to break that pattern , do n't you think ? claire : we were ready . it did n't just happen . we talked about it , and we were very careful . and it was wonderful . it was , it was everything i thought it would be . marlena : i 'm sure that it was special . but i know you . claire : what does that mean ? marlena : i know you tend to get caught up in things , and you make them seem more than they are . claire : no , that is not true , and it 's not fair . marlena : it 's not fair ? do you remember wanting to be a vegan ? and do you remember wanting to free tibet ? honey , you 've got a big heart , and then you take things to extremes , and then you lose interest . i just , i think that probably you told yourself that you love theo with all your heart and soul because it was romantic . and i think that you thought having sex would be just like in the movies . claire : but i do love theo . marlena : does he love you ? claire : i do n't know . i think he 's in love with ciara . valerie : theo , sex is one of the most complicated things in the world . if it were simple , there would n't be books , and movies and songs all about it . theo : yeah . i mean , i thought i was ready . i thought claire was ready too . valerie : everyone thinks they 're ready beforehand . do you believe claire really loves you ? theo : [ sighs ] mm . i mean , i think she did . i blew it , though . when i found out about the video , i blamed her . and then when she told me she had nothing to do with it , i did n't believe her . and she thinks that means i do n't love her , but that 's not true , i do . valerie : but you did n't believe her . that 's a really big thing , theo . that can really hurt . listen , if you love her , you 've got to prove it to her . work hard to let her know . theo : yeah , you 're right . [ phone ringing ] valerie : it 's eli . excuse me . theo : yeah , no worries . valerie : eli . hi . thanks for calling me back . eli : hi , um ... i just wanted to know if you 're free . i 'd really like to see you . valerie : there is nothing i would love more . andré : i must say , gabi , i certainly appreciate your contributions . i must say , i 've certainly missed your keen business insight . i just wish you were here to help me choose the tie at the time of the wedding . chad : so i 've talked to the board , and apparently the bylaws say i have to wait six months before i can get my company back , so , i love you , but you really want to do this ? andré : excuse me , but it sounds like everyone gabi : kate , have you established borders ? kate : did n't have to do that . actually , andré and i have a very lovely platonic relationship . andré : yes , we 're very fond of each other . simpatico . thick as thieves . chad : that 's great . well , then congratulations . and i 'll be keeping my eye on you . thank you . i suppose . andré : you do n't have to thank me . you do n't owe me anything . but this i will say : unlike past dimeras , this is one family that will stick together . kate : speaking of sticking together , i ca n't help but say i 've noticed the two of you seem close . chad : yeah . it took a while , but yeah . it 's true . kate : we could n't be happier about that . could we ? andré : [ chuckles ] chad : [ laughs ] marlena : what makes you think that theo is in love with ciara ? claire : well , he says he is n't . he says he loves me , but ... i do n't know . i 'm just not sure . so i had to do what i did . marlena : are you trying to use sex to secure your relationship ? claire : no , that is not what i did . marlena : oh , i 'm sorry . what did you do ? claire : [ sighs ] valerie : you know , when eli was little , he was desperate to take the bus to school . all his friends were doing it , so i knew he really wanted to go . so i finally agreed . but , um , it was so hard letting him go . you know , i knew putting him on that bus was putting his well - being in the hands of someone else , and i just did n't like it . theo : yeah , but you knew he could take care of himself , right ? valerie : i knew he was growing up , and i had to surrender and let him grow . but ... when i heard that plane had gone down , and i might never see him again , it took me right back to that moment of putting him on that bus , and the thought of living without him was just more than i could handle . [ dramatic music ] gabi : [ sobbing ] oh . [ sobbing ] andré : i want you to be happy . and if she makes you happy , truly happy , then i am happy for you . gabi : well , i 'm feeling all fuzzy and warm inside -- excuse me , i 'm gon na check up on ari . [ phone ringing ] chad : oh , i got to take this . kate : that was very supportive of you . andré : i aim to please . anyway , i 'm going to go and unpack my things . shall i put them into your room , or shall you unpack and put your things in my room ? kate : remember , ground rules . andré : [ laughs ] yeah , i was just hoping it 'd slipped your mind . [ laughing ] kate : you okay ? chad : yep , it was corporate relations . wanted a statement , so in a burst of originality , i told them that i was aware of the changes , i supported them , and i am thrilled to be back home . kate : i 'm thinking that being stranded on that island was n't quite the ordeal that we thought it was . i am so happy for you . [ laughs ] andré : oh , hello . it seems that your daughter and yourself seem to be comfortably ensconced in the house of dimera . gabi : does that make you happy like chad being happy makes you happy ? you know , there were a lot of happiness in that brotherly love speech you gave in there . andré : oh , i 'm more than happy that my brother is back . of course , but you 've also seen i 'm very protective of my little brother . gabi : and what does that mean ? andré : it means that i 'm putting you on notice . watch your step , senorita . valerie : it 's just so good to have you home safe . theo : dad was so worried about you . everyone was . i mean , were n't you scared ? lani : well , having your plane go down on a deserted island is no fun . hey , so , um , dad tells me you and claire are having some problems . theo : yeah , yeah , um , actually valerie and i were just talking , and she got me to see that i need to find a way to work through it . as a matter of fact , i do have to go , but -- no , no , i 'll see you tonight at dad 's for our weekly dinner . lani : okay . i ca n't wait . theo : love you . lani : i love you too . theo : bye , guys . valerie : take care . i was just telling theo how you had to wear me down to get to ride the school bus . and when i heard that , um , your plane had gone down ... i just ... i did n't know if you 'd make it . eli : i heard you when i came in . i 'm really sorry about that . valerie : well , it 's not your fault . i mean , the plane went down . there was nothing you could do about it . eli : must have been hard for you not knowing if i was safe . i mean , especially the way that i left things . valerie : the way we left things . eli : no , mom . come on . it was me . all the time when i was on that island , i thought about how i treated you . i 'm sorry . valerie : well ... you 're back now . and we have another chance . [ sighs ] eli : i think we have a ways to go , but like i said before i left for greece , i want to work on it . i want us to be family . valerie : we 'll always ... [ sobs ] sonny : [ chuckles ] victor : what 's so funny ? sonny : i just ca n't remember you ever caring about my moral life . i know i 'm gon na have to make tough decisions , but i can make them without going down the rabbit hole . plus , i have you and dad 's help . victor : you can always run things by me and your father . there are gon na be times when you 're gon na have to make split - second decisions . sonny : i know that . victor : well , i just hope that you do n't have to make as many unethical ones as i did . sonny : me too . victor : you know , my critics would tell you that i 'm a heartless man , cold and calculating . sonny : ah , like odysseus . victor : and like odysseus , i have to live with the decisions that i made . sonny : well , no offense , uncle vic , i know i have tough choices to make , but i 'm gon na forge a new road for titan , keep things above board . victor : good luck with that . sonny : it 's not a matter of luck . i know what i 'm doing . kate : so , have you spoken to abigail ? and ? chad : it did n't go well . she 's moving on with dario . i did n't handle it the way i would have liked to . just not the way i imagined things going . but we have to do what 's right for thomas , so we 're gon na make it work . kate : i know that you will . but right now , i 'm just hoping you can focus on gabi . gabi : you 're putting me on notice ? andré : i just do n't think you 're the right woman for chad . gabi : okay , well , first of all , i do n't care what you think . and second of all , before you start rambling on about abigail , chad and i , we really did fight our feelings . but somehow , some way , no matter how hard we tried the universe kept pulling us together , so ... andré : oh . [ chuckles ] this universal pull . what is it ? fate ? love ? gabi : that 's exactly what it is , andré . and if you think that you can intervene , or try to keep us apart , be my guest . oh , that 's my daughter . it 's always nice talking to you . andré : yeah . okay . julie : see , valerie ? i knew our eli would come back to us . oh ! your mother and i , we never gave up hope . eli : wait . are you saying you two buried the hatchet ? valerie : that 's right . julie : life is short . too short to carry a grudge in this family , and a family is what we are , we found out . [ laughter ] julie : so , eli . i have a family surprise for you . would you like to see it ? eli : yeah . julie : would you all like to see it ? valerie : show us the way . julie : okay , come on . come on , come on , come on . [ laughing ] [ door opening ] theo : hey , um ... i was just wondering if we could talk . um , okay , look . i know i said this before , but ... look , i 'm just really sorry . okay , i should have believed you when you said you had nothing to do with that video . i hate that i did n't trust you . claire : [ sighs ] no . no , you should n't have . theo : i should n't have what ? claire : trusted me . theo : claire , what ? no . that 's not true . look , i 'm sorry , i -- claire : stop . stop saying that , please . you 're not the one who has to ask for forgiveness . theo : claire , what are -- what are you talking about ? claire : this is for you . gabi : ariana woke up , so i 'm gon na take her home . will you tell chad i say good - bye ? kate : yes , he 's in the study . he 's making some phone calls . gabi : okay , thank you . kate : gabi , um ... you know , i just wanted to say how happy i am to see you and chad close . gabi : thank you . this whole thing 's kind of new for us . i mean , being stuck on an island is one thing , but , getting back here and back to our lives , our kid , our families ... just trying to take things slowly , you know , kate : so you 're not going to be moving in ? gabi : no , no , i think it 's a little soon for that . i mean , if everything turns out the way i think it will , then we 'll have time for that , you know ? kate : yeah . that 's true . absolutely . it 's probably the wise thing to do . it 's just that i would really love to have you and ari living here . gabi : thank you , but i do n't think your husband shares the same feelings . kate : well , the only one who really counts is chad , right ? and if he wants you here , that 's all that matters . gabi : thank you . andré : hey , it 's so good to have you back . chad : it 's good to be back . andré : oh , by the way , i was thinking about the string of bad luck that you had , what with the plane going down , jungle madness ... you know , it 's a good thing you did n't have that amulet with you . things could have been worse . chad : well , i did have it . andré : you lied to me ? chad : what was i gon na do , with you going on about how it was cursed over and over -- andré : well , of course it was cursed . that 's why the plane went down . chad : they ca n't prove that . that being said , it was the cause of a lot of problems , so i did have to bury it on the island , which was n't easy for me because it was worth a lot of money . andré : well , that 's good . let 's hope that 's the last that anyone ever sees of it . chad : well , good . andré : yeah . sonny : i will do things differently for this family . titan will be stronger than ever . i am more than up for the challenge . i 'm not afraid of a piece of jewelry . i 'm not afraid of anything . hi , i 'm paul julie : and here we are back in the living room , thus ending our tour of the martin house . eli : i did n't know this place belonged to my great - grandfather . julie : yes , your great - grandfather built this place , and this is where your granddad grew up , and -- and is n't it beautiful ? [ laughing ] eli : yeah , no , it really is . julie : well , i hope you do n't mind , i 'm planning on throwing a welcome home party for you right here , you and everybody from the island . eli : having it here will be a great surprise . so , the owner rents it out for private parties ? julie : well ... that 's up to you , eli . eli : me ? julie : you own it . eli : what ? julie : [ laughs ] when the property came up for sale again , doug and i bought it for you . actually , we were working on this deal before you went to greece . it 's my heavy - handed way of just trying to keep you here in salem . eli : [ laughs ] i -- i do n't know what to say . valerie : julie , this is just so generous of you . but is n't it still a bed and breakfast ? julie : do n't worry about it . do n't worry about that . we have somebody to take care of that . darling , you do n't even have to live here . unless you want to . i just wanted you to have a piece of salem history because it 's your history . [ laughs ] eli : i honestly can not think of a better gift . thank you . julie : you 're welcome . you 're welcome . oh , gosh , i have an appointment with the caterer . we 've got a party to plan . eli : thank you . valerie : wow . i did not see that coming . eli : me either . it 's not every day you get a welcome home surprise like this . do n't tell grandma , but i already received a pretty great gift today . valerie : oh , me too , baby . oh . [ sighs ] theo : what 's this ? claire : that is the letter that ciara wrote you . the one that you never got . um ... i took it , and i kept it , 'cause i was jealous of her . i 'm not proud that i did what i did , and after you accused me of lying to you , um , i realized that there were some things that i have done that were not completely honest . after you read that , i do n't know , you might hate me , but ... if you do n't , you know where to find me . [ dramatic music ] andré : night cap . kate : yes , husband . andré : hmm . usual ? kate : you know me so well . i 'm going to give you some advice . andré : advice ? kate : you need to lose your disdain for gabi . andré : disdain ? rather mild for the way i feel about that one . kate : does n't matter how you feel about her . chad adores her . and if you make problems for her , he 's going to make problems for you because that 's the kind of guy he is . andré : you 're absolutely right . i shall be the soul of discretion . completely neutral on the subject . kate : really . i can see those wheels turning in your head . you know , whatever you 're thinking about doing , do n't do it . because a move against her is a move against him . and me . [ dramatic music ] andré : well . this is n't over yet . [ dramatic music ] gabi : i think ari has a crush on your driver . chad : yeah , look how cute she is in that chauffeur hat . everybody just loves her . gabi : i ca n't believe i get to take that littler girl home and tuck her in and give her a kiss good - night . i 'm gon na go to sleep tonight counting my blessings . chad : i 'll be counting mine . to a new beginning . gabi : [ laughs ] chad : bye . | kate and andré told chad and gabi that they got married . kate explained why they got married . chad warned her that the board would expect her to stay married to andré . gabi asked her if she was ready to be married to him . lani advised eli to call valerie . he was still angry with her . lani told him that he should n't hold on to his anger . theo talked to valerie about the video with claire . claire told marlena that she did n't know about the video until after jade told her . marlena was concerned about her talking to people about having sex with theo . claire did n't think it was a big deal . marlena thought she was n't ready for sex yet . victor did n't want sonny to deal with the bad side of the business . kate knew what she was doing with andré . kate told chad she would be in control for six months . chad would n't hear of it . chad wanted to talk to the board about the way they handled his disappearance . claire tried to justify her actions to marlena . marlena questioned if she loved theo . she said she loved him , but she thought he loved ciara . |
hope : sorry to drop by without calling . marlena : well , in fact , john and belle have gone out for breakfast . sort of a father - daughter bonding moment . and you 've missed shawn . hope : well actually , i 'm not here to see shawn . i 'm here to visit claire . i have n't seen her since she left bayview . marlena : all right . i 'll tell her you 're here . hope : no , hold on a second . just ... before you do , please tell me , is claire really okay ? [ ominous music ] gwen : say you 're sorry . jake : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry you 're such a crazy , insecure bitch . gwen : no , no . no , i remember our fights . jake : yeah , and i remember how they ended . gabi : do n't worry , old man . i 'm gon na prove to the world that i 'm right and bring home your son . chad : he 's already here . gabi : chad . chad , what are you doing here ? i thought you were in florida with your wife . what could possibly take you from abigail 's side ? chad : your trial , actually . it starts today , and i would n't miss that for the world . rolf : commissioner hernandez . and what can i do for you today ? rafe : well , for starters , you can admit what you did to my sister . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . [ soft orchestration ] rolf : and , uh , what is it you think i did it to your sister ? rafe : cut the crap , wilhelm . all right ? you told gabi that you saved stefan 's life . pointed her towards a drug you claimed would get stefan his memory back . but you knew the drug was merely a hallucinogen . rolf : ooh , an hallucinogen ? rafe : and you knew she was desperate . you knew she would try and inject the man that she is convinced is her husband . and yet what we 'd find in the syringe was n't the miracle drug but rather the same drug that scrambled abigail 's brain . in other words , you set her up . rolf : that 's quite an accusation . rafe : i 'm not leaving here until you tell the truth . because my sister is not going to jail for a crime she did n't commit . gabi : it 's really interesting -- you came all this way just to watch me fight for my life when i did nothing wrong . chad : i ca n't wait to watch the d.a . rip you to shreds . i 'm not just here as a spectator , though . gabi : oh , so you 're having your in - laws , they 're gon na smear me in the press ? chad : better . i 'm being called as a witness . i 'm gon na be the final nail in your coffin . gwen : [ laughs ] i knew the minute we started fighting this would happen . jake : it always does . gwen : [ laughing ] oh , god , is it gon na happen right here ? jake : i have a bed upstairs . gwen : you do ? okay , darling . gwen : let 's go upstairs , darling . ben : hey , sorry i 'm late , boss , i was talking to ciara ... am i interrupting something ? gabi : you ca n't be a witness . you did n't witness anything ! chad : yeah , but i did . at julie 's place . abby and i were celebrating shin reinstating me as ceo when you barged in , ranting like a lunatic . gabi : because you locked me out of my own store . chad : which we had every right to do . then you went off , you insulted my wife , you threatened to sue us for wrongful termination . then you tried to grab that bottle of champagne . gabi : you grabbed it right out of my hands . chad : which you were using as a distraction so you could poison my wife 's glass . gabi : that 's not true . that 's not true . chad : well , then , how come you were going after jake lambert with the exact same drug ? gabi : i did n't know what was in that syringe , okay ? rolf told me that it was the same drug to get stefan 's memory back . chad : oh , you 're blaming a mad scientist ? gabi : rolf told me to my face that he set me up . chad : can anyone corroborate that ? gabi : no . but my brother 's in statesville right now and he 's trying to get the truth out of rolf as we speak . rolf : i have no earthly idea what you 're talking about . why should i try to frame gabi ? i have no ax to grind with your sister . rafe : but stefano did . he could n't stand gabi and if he told you to get rid of her , you 'd do it in a heartbeat . rolf : i am not some flunky . rafe : oh , well , actually , when it comes to stefano , you are . everyone knows about your twisted loyalty to the man . it 's no secret . rolf : and why would it be ? stefano was very good to me . i am proud to have served him for all those years . rafe : but despite your black magic , he 's not coming back . so if you think that you 're gon na get some sort of a bonus for setting up gabi , it 's not gon na happen . rolf : i will say it again . i did not harm your sister . rafe : you understand that my sister already went to jail for a crime she did n't commit . and if she goes back to jail , the child she has is gon na be traumatized all over . do n't punish an innocent little girl . rolf : well , perhaps gabi should have prioritized her daughter 's well - being over her dead husband 's memory . rafe : if you agree to tell the truth to the court , i guarantee you no new charges will be brought against you and you will serve no additional prison time . rolf : setting aside what would be perceived as a gigantic conflict of interest , do you actually have the authority to make me such an offer ? rafe : the d.a . does . and i can talk to him . make him agree to take some heat to avoid a miscarriage of justice . think about it . you know what else i can do ? i 'll get you transferred to a better facility , a better room -- a room with a view . all you have to do is tell the truth . sweet deal , what do you say ? rolf : ha . hmm . ciara : ha ha ! shawn . shawn : hey . ciara : hey , how are you ? shawn : good . ciara : what brings you by ? shawn : i 'm just checking up on my little sister . i heard the last 24 hours were pretty nuts . ciara : so marlena told you . shawn : well , she told claire to fill belle and i in on the whole story . you 've got mobsters , leather bound books , you 've got everybody scrambling to try to find some woman named gwen . ciara : oh , gwen . gwen , gwen . yeah , who happens to be the ex - girlfriend of ben 's new boss and claire 's best friend from bayview . shawn : okay . well , i read about the shootout with the cops and ben 's okay , right ? ciara : yes , yes , thank god . and gabi 's okay , too . shawn : what about you ? ciara : i 'm fine . shawn : even after seeing claire ? i know that she stopped by here after she snuck out right before the whole mom drama went down . ciara : yeah , you know , i 'm just ... i 'm glad that everyone 's okay . and hopefully this entire mess is behind us . shawn : come on . it still had to be hard , though . having claire just show up here at your door , unannounced . ciara : yeah , i 'll admit that i was a little freaked out . but you know , she apologized and she kept insisting that she wanted to make things right between us . but i ... shawn : but what ? you do n't believe her ? marlena : you know , i never would 've recommended that claire be released if i did n't think she was ready to be home . hope : i did n't mean to suggest otherwise . i just wanted to check in . how are things going so far ? marlena : well , john and i could n't be happier about having her here with us . but given the complicated relationship , i just thought , i do n't know , you would n't be especially comfortable having her back in salem . hope : i 'm concerned , of course i 'm concerned . but i am trying to keep an open mind . to believe that claire is genuinely contrite about everything that happened . that she 's sufficiently healed to live a normal , happy life and that she really does want to repair and mend her relationship with ciara . marlena : good . do you have any other worries ? hope : well , given how happy and very much in love ciara is right now , planning her wedding and all , i ca n't help but wonder , has claire , well ... if she 's expressed any jealousy at all about that . claire : were you two talking about me ? i 've lost count of how many asthma attacks i 've had . marlena : of course we were talking about you . hope has n't seen you since you got back from bayview and she wanted to check on you . hope : oh , baby , it is so good to see you . i am so happy that you 're home . claire : do you really mean that ? hope : of course i mean it . claire : even after what i did to ciara ? hope : you know what , i 'm going to tell you the same thing that i told you in that cabin and what i have told you every time i visited you at bayview . i could never , ever hate you . i love you . claire : i know , i love you , too . look , i just need everyone to know how sorry i am for what i did . i apologized to ciara , i apologized to you but it all just feel so lame and inadequate , you know ? look , i know you 're my grandmother but i honestly would n't blame you if you never forgave me and if you never wanted to see me again . shawn : so when you saw claire , were you worried ? that maybe she should n't have been released ? ciara : no . no , no , no . that is not what i meant at all . she actually seemed a lot better and i even told her that i forgave her . i just ... you know what ? never mind . never mind . shawn : no , ciara , come on . listen , whatever it is , you can tell me . ciara : okay . well , claire just asked me to do something that i 'm not really sure i want to do . shawn : which is ? ciara : she asked if i would make her my maid of honor . shawn : really ? ciara : yeah . and you know what ? it seems really selfish of me to be saying this , but i just have this feeling in my gut that if i ask her to be my maid of honor and she ends up being it , then she 's gon na make my wedding all about her . shawn : listen , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that she put you on the spot like that . and you know , i 'm also sorry because i 'm also partially to blame here because belle and i are the ones that told her that you were engaged . ciara : oh , no . shawn , please do n't worry about that . she would 've figured it out sooner or later . shawn : true . but i was n't expecting this . so how did you leave it ? ciara : well , i told her that i would think about it . but you want me to say yes , do n't you ? shawn : i just ... i want you to be happy . do i want claire to be happy , also ? of course i do . i love my daughter and i believe that she has been healed after everything that 's happened and that her heart is in the right place . that she genuinely does love you and she wants to be there for you . she wants to show you how important you are to her . but at the end of the day , this is your wedding , sis . so you 've got to do it how you want it done . there 's no pressure here . all right ? the decision is entirely up to you . ben : i recognize you . from your picture . jake : ben , meet gwen . he 's the guy who helped me track you down . gwen : pleasure . ben : i assume you 're here to return the book . jake : we have n't quite gotten to that part yet . ben : really ? why the hell not ? does gwen know what the hell we went through with that damn thing ? that my fiancé was in danger ? that i got a little beaten up , that jake here is lucky to be alive -- that an innocent woman was taken hostage . gwen : okay , back up , mate . all right ? i never meant to hurt anyone by taking that book and i did n't know how valuable it was to anyone . ben : okay , well , now you do . so why the hell have n't you returned it to jake so we can end this ? gwen : we were just discussing that . we just got a little distracted , did n't we , darling ? ben : fine . whatever . we need the book back right now . it 's a matter of life and death . rafe : i can put you in a facility with a library . a good one . you can spend your time doing research which , remember , will not increase , not even by one day and all you have to do is tell the truth . rolf : well , i suppose in theory one could think that i inadvertently lead gabi into believing that the drug furthered her agenda . and i also believe that by doing so i would get her in trouble with the law . rafe : yeah . that 's not good enough . rolf : oh . rafe : i 'm gon na need something more to save my sister . who really drugged abigail ? the name . chad : you think that rolf is gon na save you ? gabi : no . no , i think my brother 's gon na save me . once he gets that confession out of that lying dirtbag . chad : give it up . you 're going down . gabi : the hell i am . no , everybody in this town knows that i was wrongfully convicted before . and anybody that they pick for that jury is gon na have some moral obligation to make sure that never happens again . chad : i know you think the world revolves around you but i 'm sure that they can find 12 people who have never heard of you before . i wish i was one of them . gabi : yeah , but you 're not . so you 're just gon na get up on that stand and tell lies about me . chad : no , i plan to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth which is that you poisoned my wife . i am gon na give the jury means , motive , opportunity , and i 'm gon na tell them all about your history of trying to destroy my wife 's life . gabi : oh , please ! chad : you hate her . you ca n't stand to see her happy . your pathological jealousy drove you to create some elaborate plan that made people think that she was nuts when in reality you were torturing her . because of your sick desire for revenge , abigail was separated from her family , her newborn child , and was sent to an institution when she was n't even crazy . gabi : once again , you are completely wrong about all of your facts . see , it was you that created this elaborate plan . you had your pregnant wife kidnapped ! you shipped her off to some island . she gives birth and then five minutes later you ship her off to the loony bin . chad : which would have happened if you had n't gaslit her . gabi : i had no authority over abigail -- you had her involuntarily committed . no , no , actually , i 'm wrong about that . it was stefan , because he was married to her at the time . but you set up that plan with your brother . you gave him that newborn baby and you locked abigail up . chad : and if i did that to my own wife , imagine what i would do to you . ciara : i know it would mean a lot to claire if i just said yes . shawn : i 'm sure it would . ciara : shawn , i feel so much pressure . like , i know that claire stayed in salem to rebuild her relationship with me . i know that and i want her to get better ... i want her to get better so much , i just ... shawn : you 're just not sure that you want her to be your maid of honor . ciara : yeah . i 'm torn because i really do n't want to hurt her feelings . shawn : well , is there anybody else that you could ask ? because i 'm sure that claire would understand . ciara : i have n't exactly been killing it in the friend department lately . i 've been so involved in helping ben that i have n't really had time for a social life . shawn : so there 's no other candidates , then ? ciara : honestly , claire was the closest friend that i ever had . ever since what happened happened . wow , sorry , shawn , i should n't be talking to you about this . i mean , claire is your daughter . shawn : and you 're my sister . and i just want you to just be honest with me about what you 're feeling . ciara : okay , well it goes without saying that i care about claire . i care about her very much . so i guess the question that i 'm asking myself is , can i really let her be that close to me again ? hope : of course i want to see you . claire , that 's why i 'm here . claire : i know . but i still do n't expect you to forgive me . hope : well , you know what ? i am a huge believer in forgiveness . i know how powerful it can be . claire : i just , i feel like i need to do more , you know ? i want to make amends to every single person who has suffered because of me but i do n't even know if that 's really possible . hope : it is . it is , i promise . it 's gon na take some time , okay ? i know how determined you are . but it is a process and you need to be patient . we love you , we all love you so much . we 're all here for you . okay ? claire : okay . thank you . rafe : i know you did n't drug abigail -- you were locked up when it happened . rolf : indeed . rafe : but you knew the drug existed . it was just an experimental drug being developed at dimera enterprises . so theoretically , you could have easily got your hands on it and then had one of your minions poison abigail . just tell me the name . that 's all you got ta do . tell me the name , you get your deal . jack : what 's going on ? gabi : he 's threatening me ! jack : chad ? come on , back off . gabi : oh , my god , jack . if you had n't shown up , he would 've killed me . i 'm gon na have you arrested for assault and you 're my witness . chad : i did n't lay a finger on you , but you know what ? you should -- you should call the cops . i 'm sure eli and lani will believe every word you say . gabi : you 're not worth it . i 'm out of here . chad : see you in court ! jack : oh ... wow . welcome back , kid . you know how to make an entrance . chad : i 'm sorry you walked in on that . jack : yeah , well , i take it you 're not really going to kill gabi . chad : i wanted to kill her . she just has a way of getting under my skin . jack : i know . i know . i ran into her at the police station , i nearly lost it . rafe hustled me out of there but not before i looked her in the eye and told her i was going to make her pay for what she did . chad : and she will pay . i just wish abby was here to see it . jack : yeah . so how is she ? i mean , before you left florida . we talked to her but it 's hard to tell on the phone . chad : abby 's a fighter . she has a great attitude , terrific doctors . it 's a great facility . jack : and how are you doing ? chad : it 's not easy watching her go through this . but ... i 'm grateful she has top - notch care . we 're just not out of the woods yet , so ... jack : so she 's still having the hallucinations ? chad : there will be good days and then , you know , she 's optimistic and it looks like the treatment 's working but ... then she starts seeing things again . jack : that 's got ta be so tough . chad : the drug that gabi gave her altered the ... altered the chemistry of her brain . so you know , the doctors are trying to reverse it but they do n't know if they can . jack : well , we have got to stay positive . chad : i 'm trying but the truth is that the abigail that we know and love may ... never ... she might never come back to us . ben : what exactly did i just walk in on ? jake : well , we were having a conversation about the book , like i said . but that spiraled into the same argument we always have where she accuses me of cheating . ben : did you ? jake : i may have turned my head a few times but ... ben : ah . jake : ah , ah , but i did not cheat on her the entire time we were together , not once . stop . ben : so she 's just the jealous type ? jake : jealous , possessive , completely paranoid . i mean , if i opened a door for another woman or so much as smiled at a waitress , she 'd freak . ben : so not the most stable relationship of all time ? jake : more like a roller coaster from hell . the attraction between the two of us ... if you had n't showed up we 'd probably be upstairs right now . ben : so you 're still into her ? jake : are you still into those loaded nachos they sell across the street ? ben : god , yes . are you kidding me ? i know they 're horrible for me but i ca n't help myself . jake : exactly . [ knock on door ] marlena : oh , come in . gwen : thanks . marlena : this is claire 's other grandmother . gwen , hope . claire : yeah , she 's a friend from bayview -- grandma let her stay here last night . gwen : yeah , sorry to interrupt -- i just need to get the book to return to jake . marlena : i thought you 'd done that already . claire : yeah , me , too . gwen : yeah , well , i wanted to see where jake and i stood first . claire : gwen ! this is very important ! you need to get that book back to jake now . you know , people could still get hurt , actually , including ciara , and that is the last thing i would ever want . you believe me , right ? shawn : if you are reluctant to let claire get close to you because you 're afraid that she might hurt you again , she won't . her doctors can attest to that . ciara : no . no , that is not what i 'm worried about at all . she actually really impressed me yesterday when she helped us find gwen . she was pretty awesome . shawn : one of the things that she 's working on is trying to be more generous . so i 'm sure that it made her really happy that she was able to help . ciara : yeah . and it will make her really happy to be my maid of honor . shawn : look . if you need to draw some boundaries with claire , and make it very clear what you 're comfortable with and what you 're not , that 's perfectly okay . i mean , whatever those boundaries are , claire is gon na have to accept them . ciara : right , right . i just ... i do n't want her to think that i 'm judging her because she was sick . because that would make me the world 's biggest hypocrite . shawn : because of ben ? ciara : yeah . i spent two years defending him to anyone who would listen . i mean , i was convincing everyone that he was better and that he had gotten over his mental illness and that he deserved a second chance . what kind of person would i be if i did n't give the same chance to claire ? it 's starting to happen every day . jack : chad , i know . i know how hard this is . when i think about my little girl suffering -- chad : it 's horrible . jack : that 's why we have to keep the faith . that 's what this family , the hortons , that 's what they 're all about . i mean , when everything was falling apart for me , jennifer , she just stood right by me . when i was so horrible to her , she never gave up on me and i know that 's what you 're gon na do for abigail . just stay right next to her , stay close . chad : she does n't want me there . jack : w - what do you mean ? chad : she does n't want me to stay in florida , jack . she wants me to come home . she wants me to be with the kids and i have n't been able to leave yet because i -- i ca n't watch her face that alone . jack : if you 're worried about the kids ... chad : i 'm not worried about the kids . jack : we take them to the museum , we saw the dinosaurs . chad : the titanosaur -- i know , i heard all about it . jack : they had such a wonderful time . and yes , they asked about mommy and daddy , i know . chad : i get it . and we miss them , too , and we 're grateful that you guys are keeping things normal for them . jack : you being there for our daughter means everything to us . and i want you to know that we are there for you , too . chad : i appreciate that . jack : i mean it , chad . you 're like a ... you are my son . you are our son . rafe : hey , gabs . gabi : what happened with rolf ? rafe : well , uh , in a very roundabout way with a lot of hot air thrown in , he basically admitted to setting you up . gabi : oh , my god , that is amazing . i knew you could do it ! rafe : unfortunately , it 's not enough to help you . gwen : hello , boys . look what i have . jake : damn it , gwen , i need that book . gwen : nuh , ah -- not so fast . now repeat after me . `` gwen , i 'm sorry . `` ben : for god 's sake , jake , apologize ! marlena : oh , there you are , come on in . hope : oh , if it is n't two -- oh , my , stunning . ciara : hi . hope : honey . oh , my goodness , you look gorgeous . two of my favorite people . shawn : hey , you . hope : hey , sweetheart , very handsome . i 'm sorry , are you looking for me , huh ? i know you wanted to do some more shopping . ciara : yeah , um ... actually , i came by because i was looking for claire . [ lightly uneasy music ] marlena : uh , why do n't we give them some privacy ? ciara : oh , no . actually , everyone should probably hear this . so claire asked me to be my maid of honor . claire : ciara , it 's okay . ciara : no , please let me finish . seeing claire after all this time caught me off guard , and her request really caught me off guard . but she asked me to think about it and i did . i thought about what it truly means to be a maid of honor and to me , that means friendship . and friendships can be very complicated . everyone knows that claire and i have had a really complicated one . but , well , she knows me and i know her . and she has had a really rough couple of years . but i know in my heart that at her core she is a very , very good person . somebody who has comforted me and supported me and you know , honestly , just made me laugh harder than anyone has ever made me laugh in my life . and i know there has n't been much to laugh about recently , but i am really helpful that all of that is gon na to change . and you know , i figured , my wedding is the perfect place to start to help us find the joy again and the fun and that friendship that meant the world to me . claire , you mean so much to me . so , um , if you would like to ... i would love it if you would be my maid of honor . if you still want the job , of course , you know ... claire : are you kidding me ? are you kidding me ? ciara , thank you , thank you . thank you so much . you will not be sorry . jake : okay . i 'm sorry . gwen : no . say it like you mean it . jake : sorry , gwen , that i flirted with those other women . but i did n't sleep with any of them and there has n't been anybody since you . gwen : even your little wife ? jake : no . that 's all in your little head . but clearly the nutcases are always very attracted to me . gwen : okay . now ... apologize for calling me a crazy bitch . jake : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . now give it to me . gwen : ah -- well , now that you 've apologized and i 've returned that book , we can get back together . jake : what ? gwen : oh , relax , darling . you 'll have time to return your book . maybe we can talk about it ... upstairs . nice to meet you . jake : i told you she was crazy . chad : yeah , you 're like a father to me , too . jack : i 'm glad you feel that way . jennifer and i are so glad that abigail chose you . no one could be a better husband to our daughter . chad : i 've got to go -- i got ta go to the courthouse , jack . so , you know , i 'll come over after and i 'll spend some time with the kids . jack : hey , we 'll video chat with abigail . chad : yeah . yeah , hopefully we have some good news to give her , we can , uh ... that bitch will finally get what she reserves . gabi . rafe : unfortunately , rolf would n't give me the name of the person who really drugged abigail . gabi : without that , i 'm still screwed . rafe : i 'm sorry , i tried . gabi : i know , you always do . you know , you 're the best big brother in the whole wide world . thank you for helping me -- i know you 're going through a lot . rafe : of course . gabi : it does n't look too good for me , rafe . given my track record . rafe : yeah , but that is not admissible . chad : yeah , but chad 's out for blood -- he 's gon na go there . rafe : you know what ? if he tries , it 's going to be stricken from the record . gabi : but the jury 's still gon na hear it . rafe : okay . yeah , they might . but listen , they 'll probably give you the chance to stand up there in front of the court and prove your innocence . yeah . yeah . gabi : i 'm scared , rafe . i do n't want to lose ari again . i do n't want to go to prison for something i did n't do . rafe : i know . gabi : okay . rafe : yeah . i 'm sorry , but ... it 's time . gabi : okay . rafe : all right . rolf : hello . it is i , dr . rolf . commissioner hernandez just paid me a visit . yes , he made me a rather tempting offer , but i turned him down . no , no , no , not to worry , i refused to implicate you in what happened to abigail .

[ clears throat ] nancy : i said that chloe is not ready to go yet . nicole : why not ? nancy : because she is n't packed yet . nicole : chloe agreed to let me fly her out of salem on the titan jet . nancy : that 's because you talked her into it , you self - serving little piece of trash . nicole : you know what ? i am sick and tired of you laying this on me . i am not the one who decided to tell brady that chloe was dead at the time of her accident . chloe was . and she is the one who insisted that brady could n't know that she was alive . i am just respecting her wishes , and as her mother , i would think you would want to do the same . chloe : i 've been telling nancy that for months , and that 's why she 's kept my secret this whole time . i 'm not gon na change my mind , mother . and now brady 's really close to finding me . the only way to prevent that is to leave salem , which i intend to do right now . brady : i forgot -- salem 's high - fashion clothing mall -- there are designer stores right next to the clinic . nicole 's probably shopping . thank you for your help . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm belle : philip , you 're in a wheelchair . philip : yeah , i 'm in a wheelchair . i wanted to come in here and surprise you , but it turns out i 'm the one who 's surprised . honey , why did n't you tell me shawn was coming ? belle : i - i did n't know . shawn d. : i did n't call her . philip : good to see you . shawn d. : uh , man , phil , hey . i -- i 'm really sorry . this sucks . when i heard that mine go off , i -- i thought you were dead . even when we found out that you were okay from the commanding officer , he made it sound like you had one foot in the grave . belle : what did you say ? shawn d. : oh , my god . belle : could you be any more insensitive ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm patrick : i 'm just here to finish packing up my things . tek : i 'm keeping an eye on you . i 'm gon na find out what you 're up to . patrick : [ scoffs ] what i 'm up to ? like , stealing jennifer 's silverware or abby 's ipod ? tek : the only reason to be so defensive is 'cause you 're trying to hide something . patrick : well , i 'll tell you what . you came up to me here , out of the blue , and accused me of breaking and entering . would n't that make anyone defensive ? why do n't you tell me what an appropriate response would be ? you know what ? it does n't matter what i say , does it , tek ? you already have your mind made up about me . tek : did a pretty good job of covering up your tracks so far . one day , you 're gon na slip up . i 'm gon na be right there to nail your ass . patrick : [ chuckles ] really ? that 's , uh -- that 's , like , a typical `` b '' -detective - movie response right there . tek : yeah ? here 's another one for you . have a nice day . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lexie : jack , i really think you should talk about what you 're going through . jack : what 's to talk about ? i do n't feel like someone who 's got a fatal illness .

[ both giggle ] abby : yes . max : all right , then i 'll sign it . you got a pen ? abby : sure do . chelsea : max , could you sign mine , too ? max : of course . how can i pass up two pretty ladies like yourselves ? jennifer : [ laughs ] max : and here you are . abby : thanks , max . hey , good luck today . chelsea : yeah , hope you win . jennifer : this is so crazy ! when i was growing up , race - car drivers were race- car drivers . you 're like a rock star . chelsea : like the beatles when you were a teenager , mrs. devereaux . jennifer : oh , this one -- i am not that old . but , yes , something like that . so , this is great . you 're really doing well . chelsea : doing well ? come on , mrs. d. , he 's , like , the hottest driver in salem 500 , not to mention the cutest . max : i do okay . i mean , there 's a lot of competition out here . jennifer : hey , what about frankie ? are you guys still close ? max : sure , sure . we keep in touch , but we have our own careers , our own lives . jennifer : wow , that 's so funny . i would love to see frankie . i think about him often . max : he mentioned you , too , over the years . in fact , when he found out i had a race here in salem , he called me and asked me to make sure i said hello . abby : so , when you lived here , your brother was mom 's friend . jennifer : mm - hmm , yeah . max : he was a really good friend , was n't he , jennifer ? abby : and just how good of a friend was he , mom ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm shawn d. : i was n't -- i was not trying to be insensitive . i was n't thinking , and then -- i just put my foot in my mouth . belle : what ? ! shawn d. : i can not believe i just said that . philip : [ laughs ] dude , it 's -- it 's psychological , okay ? it 's the more you try to avoid something , the more you ca n't stop thinking about it . do n't worry about it . shawn d. : thanks . philip : i think that 's the first laugh i 've had since this happened , so thank you for being so ignorant . shawn d. : thanking me -- i -- definitely was not intentional . but , you know , if it helps give you a leg up on your recovery . belle : shawn , i ca n't believe you . philip : [ laughs ] shawn d. : i 'm just gon na keep my mouth shut . philip : yeah , that 's probably the best idea . but before you do , i was wondering , exactly what are you doing here ? shawn d. : eh , i just came to see if there was anything i could do to help out . philip : oh , cool . cool . um , but what is it you think you can do that is n't already being done by john , my mom , belle , and the entire combined resources of the u.s. military ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chloe : mom , could you please grab my jacket out of the closet ? nancy : no , i refuse to do this anymore . i am not gon na help you throw away your chance for future happiness . chloe : i do n't want to be a burden to brady . please trust me . it 's better this way . nancy : chloe , the only one that it 's better for is nicole . i do n't care what kind of spin she 's put on it . she 's the one that 's gon na live happily ever after with brady . she has played you for a fool . chloe : no , she has n't . look , mom , i know that she 's used this to get together with brady . but i ca n't be with him , so i want him to move on . and if that 's with nicole , then so be it . i trust brady to choose the right woman for himself . besides , i know that nicole loves him . and i 've seen them together , and he seems really happy . all i want is for brady to be happy . nicole : thank you , chloe . that 's all i want for brady , too . nancy : of course you do ... as long as it 's not with chloe . you conniving little -- chloe : mom ... please . nancy : i 'm sorry , chloe , but this sickens me . i ca n't accept that you really want nicole to live the happy life that you have always dreamed about . chloe , the life that you 've always dreamed about with brady , the life that you could still have , if you would just have the courage to take it . [ cellphone rings ] nicole : [ clears throat ] oh , my god , it 's brady . chloe : do n't answer it . nicole : okay , if you say so . nancy : like she was going to . get a grip . brady : oh , damn . not picking up , huh ? voice mail . nicole is definitely up to something . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm jennifer : uh , well , max 's brother , frankie -- we 're about the same age , and we went to school together . max : and they dated for a while -- quite a while , if i remember correctly . abby : was he your first real love , mom ? jennifer : oh , sweetie , no , it was high school . at that age -- chelsea : do n't be shy about it , mrs. d. if you did love him , i totally get why ... if frankie looks anything like you do , max . jennifer : all right , look , like max said , frankie and i -- we dated for a little while . that 's all . i do n't know where your father is . he should be here by now . i wonder what 's keeping him . jack : what the hell are you doing here ? you were told to get your stuff out of my garage apartment , so you wait till nobody 's home and come back to rob my place ? patrick : you are the second person to accuse me of that today , and i am sick of it . max : who 's jack ? jennifer : jack devereaux . he 's my husband . max , you were probably too young to remember him . abby : you 'll love my dad . he 's a journalist . maybe he can write a profile of you for the newspaper . max : too late . the salem gazette just did a piece on me yesterday , after i ran my qualifying time . thanks , though , abby . abby : okay , but he 's gon na love meeting you . max : is he a big salem 500 fan ? abby : oh , i do n't know . is he , mom ? jennifer : uh , you know , i think he 's more of a tailgating fan , and that is the extent of it , but same here . i just -- i never realized this could be so exciting . chelsea : you know , it 's the hottest spectator sport in the country right now ? max : [ chuckles ] well , do you guys want to see maybe the car and the pit area , maybe meet some of the other drivers ? jennifer : oh , boy . abby : yeah , we 'd love to . max : well , let 's do it . jennifer : [ laughs ] max : oh , wait . jennifer , are you coming ? jennifer : oh , no , some other time , thank you . i 'm gon na wait for jack . have fun ! oh , come on , jack . where are you ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm jack : so , who else accused you of trying to rob me blind ? patrick : that cop tek came by and saw me . jack : begs the question , does n't it -- could both of us be wrong ? patrick : i was outside of your house , jack . i was n't carrying anything . jack : still , it 's good to know that the cops do n't trust you , either . and since your things are outside my house in the garage apartment , why are you in my house now ? patrick : just came by to get some garbage bags to use to pack my clothes . jack : garbage bags , huh ? and here i thought you were a world traveler . now , look . we asked you nicely to get your things out of here ... days ago . you 're still here . why ? what 's taking so long ? patrick : uh , jennifer gave me a little extra time to get my things together and find a place to live . jack : should n't be so hard . you can move in with your mother in that habitat for humanity that we helped build , since she 's now living in quasi - sin with mickey horton . patrick : where i live is none of your business . jack : quite right -- could n't care less , as long as you 're nowhere near me or mine . patrick : you made that very clear , which is why i phoned ahead to make sure no one was here so i would n't run into you and have this confrontation . jack : too late , but now you have the rest of the afternoon to yourself . so get packing and ... keep the luggage . patrick : [ sighs ] jack : i want everything out of that garage apartment today . i do n't want a hint , i do n't want a memory of you being here when i return with my family , get it ? patrick : yeah , i got it . jack : good . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lexie : jack , are you really more worried about the fact that you forgot piccalilli relish than you are about the fact that you only have a few months left to live ? jack : yes . yes . yes , and i 'll tell you why . for the last year , i have been separated from my family -- from jennifer , from abigail ... and from my baby boy , jack . i realize the most important thing is the precious moments that we have together . i [ sighs ] i love them . i love them . and , quite literally , i love them more than my life itself . and now i 'm gon na make every day the most special , memorable day i possibly can . lexie : you 're not going to tell them you 're dying , are you ? jack : no . no , i 'm not . lexie : can i ask why ? jack : if i tell them that i am dying ... then they 'll live in fear . they 'll live in anticipation of my death . can you imagine abigail 's sneaking into our bedroom every night -- every night -- and leaning over me just to see if i 'm still breathing ? can you imagine jennifer checking on me every 10 minutes just to make sure that i 'm all right ? everybody holding their breath every time i sneeze or cough , things that have absolutely nothing to do with this illness . i will not do that to them . i will not do that to them . the greatest gift that i can give them , the greatest gift i can give myself , right to the moment i go into the grave , is to -- is just to have some -- just a few , special , wonderful , happy memories in these few months that we have left . lexie : do n't you think you 're cheating them ? what if they 're angry that you kept this secret from them ? what if they have regrets about something they did or did n't do ? jack , if they knew , maybe they 'd want to do something special for you , to say goodbye . jack : no . no . there 's no saying goodbye . no . not yet . not yet , anyway . i 'm not -- i 'm not dying , lexie . i 'm gon na live . i 'm gon na live my life to the fullest , right to the very end . and now i think you know what the most important thing is that i need to do . lexie : [ clears throat ] yeah , yeah . you 've got to get that piccalilli relish . jack : that 's right . that 's right , to make the best devereaux burgers there are ... for jennifer and abigail , so they can have the best -- the best tailgate cookout ever . nothing is more important . nothing is more important . [ door closes ] lexie : [ sighs ] i 'm so glad you 're here . i really need you right now . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm shawn d. : i did n't think you and belle would mind if i was here to try and help -- maybe run interference for you with the military and your parents . philip : well , i guess if we 're gon na run anything , it 's better you than me , right ? shawn d. : [ chuckles ] philip : i went and made another lame j -- i said `` lame . `` i guess it really is hard to avoid , is n't it ? shawn d. : yeah . philip : all joking aside , i have a lot of questions for you . shawn d. : yeah . ask away . philip : i know you were the one to organize the mission to come and rescue me in the desert . and speaking strictly as a marine , i have never heard of such a dumb - ass thing to do , you bunch of amateurs . fortunately for you , it was tony dimera that captured you , and not the enemy we were fighting , 'cause otherwise would all be dead . you know that , right ? shawn d. : yeah , i do . philip : good . that being said , if you had n't shown up , i might still be there , so i appreciate what you did -- i do . and i was also thinking that we did n't have a lot of time out there to discuss exactly why you were so determined to bring me home back to salem . belle : because shawn could n't bear the thought of you being hurt , or even killed . philip : and that 's very noble of him , sweetheart . but i have to ask this -- shawn , before i left for the war , all you and i did was fight . and you did everything you could possibly do to come between belle and me . so i 'm sorry that i 'd have to think this , let alone say it out loud , but is that what you 're doing now ? is that why you 're here ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nurse : i 've got your discharge papers , chloe . just sign off , and all you need to do after that is have a safe trip . we 'll forward all your records . chloe : thanks for everything . nurse : oh , mrs. kiriakis . your boyfriend , mr. black , was here looking for you . nicole : he was ? nurse : yes , i told him i had n't seen you . nicole : is he gone ? nurse : well , he went looking for you at the mall , but he was back at the desk when i came to give you the papers . chloe : oh , my god , please do n't tell him that i 'm here . nurse : i wo n't . chloe , i promise . chloe : or you , either , mother . promise me . swear to me that you wo n't tell brady i 'm here . nancy : okay . i swear . nicole : here , take this . nurse : i do n't need to be bribed to keep a promise to a patient . goodbye , chloe . good luck . nicole : come on , chloe . let 's get the hell out of here . brady : hi . uh , are you sure nicole did n't go out with clara ? nurse : yes , and clara still has n't come back . brady : then why is nicole 's car still in the garage ? unless she 's here to see another patient , but it ca n't be chloe because why would chloe be in a clinic ? chloe 's not dead . she was only injured in that accident , and she 's recuperating here . nurse , you have to tell me . is there a patient here by the name of chloe lane ? please . nurse : the identity of clinic patients has to be kept confidential , mr. black . i 'm sorry . brady : i do n't need your sympathy . i need your help . have you ever been in love with someone so special that you just ca n't imagine your life without them ? i have such a strong feeling that chloe is still alive and she 's out there somewhere and all i have to do is find her . nurse : i ... i ca n't tell you anything . but maybe there 's someone in room 206 who can . brady : thank you . damn it . [ rustling ] brady : oh , my god . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm abby : wow , look at these cars . they 're like commercials on wheels . max : sponsorships , ladies . this is what drives our sport . chelsea : look at that . max : that 's my pit stall right here . abby : oh , um , have you ever been in a crash ? max : sure . pileups happen all the time . chelsea : he hit the wall at a track in california a few weeks ago . max : you are a fan , are n't you ? but i sure did . my car flipped over four times . chelsea : i still ca n't believe you walked away from that . abby and i were both in a car accident with my parents . the car did n't even flip over once , and they both died . max : i 'm so sorry , chelsea . really , my condolences . chelsea : maybe if we would have been in a car like this , they would have been okay . max : that 's right . these cars are very strong and amazingly safe . and , of course , the salem 500 stock - car racers are the best drivers in the world , but we take precautions because it 's still a very dangerous sport . abby : you have to concentrate every second , do n't you ? max : sure do . and that means lots of discipline . i mean , i 'm in bed by 9 : 00 the night before the race . i eat healthy , and i do n't drink , do n't smoke . and i take care of myself as well as my mechanics and crew take care of my car here . but that 's before the race . afterwards , well ... i like to , uh , put the pedal to the metal , crank the revs , blow the carbon off all the points , if you catch my drift . chelsea : yeah . sounds really hot . max : darling , you have no idea . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm jack : [ panting ] jennifer ! jennifer , i 'm sorry . jennifer : there you are . jack , oh , where have you been ? do n't you know how much i worry about you ? jack : i had to rush home . i forgot the piccalilli relish . jennifer : oh , good , good . so you have it -- where is it ? jack : it 's -- i -- i do n't believe it . i forgot the piccalilli relish again . jennifer : but you went home specifically to get the piccalilli relish . jack : i was distracted . jennifer : by what ? jack : i -- hey , where -- those girls got ta be around here somewhere . we got to get this tailgate party started . hey , girls ! jennifer : you are not gon na believe this . you 'll never guess who the hottest racer is today in this race . jack : you 're right . i wo n't guess . why do n't you just tell me ? jennifer : max brady . jack : max brady . jennifer : frankie brady 's younger brother , max . max brady . jack : frankie ! frankie 's brother , max , is in this race . wait , i saw a max brady in the sports pages . that 's the same max brady ? i did n't put two and two together . jennifer : i know , and wait till you see him . it 's unbelievable . he is all grown up , and if you do n't believe me , ask abby and chelsea , 'cause they are with him right now . jack : they 're smitten , huh ? jennifer : no , they are hot for his bod . jack : they 're what ? jennifer : never mind . just think `` smitten . `` jack : right , right . it certainly sounds less threatening . jennifer : so , what distracted you so much that you forgot your favorite relish ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tek : god , you 're really upset . lexie : yeah . tek : is it abe ? is he giving you a hard time again ? lexie : no , no , it 's , uh ... it 's a patient of mine . he 's dying . and he does n't want his family to know . tek : well , why ? lexie : it 's completely selfless . he does n't want them to spend the last few months with him , worrying and fearful . tek : in my opinion , the patient 's right . i mean , you know , every day 's too important to worry about what might be or ... could have been . and sometimes there 's things you got to let go of and things you need to reach out and hold on to . lexie : [ chuckles ] well , all of a sudden i get the feeling you 're not talking about my patient anymore . are you talking about my marriage ? tek : lexie , i 'm talking about your life , lexie . i care about you so much . and i know that you 're hurting , and i know that abe is making that hurting worse . i just want to take that hurt away . lexie : no . no , no , tek , i ca n't . i ca n't do this . this is so confusing . it feels right , but -- tek : it is right . how can it be wrong if it 's what we both want ? i want you so bad , lexie . i want you so bad . lexie : i want you . i want ... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm max : so , where you guys sitting today ? abby : 12th row , 4 aisles right of center . max : oh , i can do better than that . these are right behind the pits , ladies . abby : oh , thank you so much . max : enjoy . and i 'll see you guys after the race . chelsea : bye . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [ chuckles ] max : what ? man : as soon as we hit town , you have a harem of babes lined up who will do absolutely anything for you . max : not anything . man : uh , not from what i 've seen . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm jack : actually , the piccalilli relish is n't really that important . you and abigail do n't really like it anyway . jennifer : yeah , but you like it , jack , and you always say -- jack : it is not a devereaux burger without the piccalilli relish . jennifer : that 's right , so how could you forget it ?
