hope : long story , but your story first . what did you mean about hurting someone bo loves ? jennifer : listen , when daniel and i -- when we were together last night , he got a phone call from melanie and she -- carly : jennifer ! carly : do n't say a word , not one word . melanie : maggie , you bring out the best in victor . you can change him . you can change this whole situation . maggie : you know , mickey always warned me to watch out for my do - gooder streak . hm . it 's egotistical to think that you can change the world . melanie : i 'm not asking you to change the world , just victor -- the man that you love . maggie : yeah , well , love and $ 1.50 will get me a bus ride . melanie : heh , but you still love him . maggie : i do n't know , melanie . i was just telling julie that sometimes i just feel too connected to mickey to love another man . sometimes ... i still feel like i have a husband and that he 's just not home . he 's not around . it 's my mind playing tricks , you see ? melanie : oh , maggie . maggie : i know that sounds self - pitying , but honestly i 'm not feeling sorry for myself . i 'm just , um -- i 'm conflicted for want of a better word . and maybe i will be . maybe i always will be . melanie : [ sighs ] maggie , please do n't say that . i want you to be able to love again . maggie : oh ... i do n't know . maybe it would be better for me just to live my life with my memories . melanie : [ sighs ] that 's not true and you know it . you may have loved mickey with all of your heart . that 's okay , but that does n't mean that you ca n't love somebody else again in a different way . maybe i 'm being presumptuous . i have no idea what you went through , what you 're going through . i ca n't even imagine . maggie : oh , melanie , my darling . i 'm so very grateful ... to have people in my life who care so much ... [ crying ] who take care of me in the sweetest , the kindest way . melanie : just like you take care of all of us . maggie : [ laughs ] melanie : look , i might be going out on a limb here and i know it 's not simple and i know you 're conflicted , but you love victor . maggie : yes , you 're right . i do love him . [ sighs ] but i have come to realize that we ca n't be together . brady : what if just this once you were n't the way that you always are ? victor : you think i 'm kicking her out because i 'm a grumpy old man holding a grudge . brady : along those lines , yeah . victor : well , as much as you hate them , brady , how about a reality check ? brady : how about another drink instead ? victor : she just told ej , who 's in the hospital because of you , that she wants a divorce . and then she immediately comes prancing over here to tell you so you can pat her on the head and tell her what a good girl she is . now how do you think ej or stefano is going to take all that ? nicole : they do n't know i 'm here . victor : they know everything . and when he figures out that you 're the one that beat him up , and notice i said `` when , `` and not `` if , `` he 's going to assume that she put you up to it . and i do n't think that that 's going to be very good for you . in fact , i think it 's going to be bad for you and even worse for you . in fact , i would n't be surprised if they ended up killing you ! you know , they 're right . every cloud does have a silver lining . [ chuckles ] hope : so carly 's in on your secret . carly : can i talk to you for just a second , please ? excuse us . jennifer : yeah . carly : i need you to think about something . ej 's alive in that room because daniel saved him , okay ? you tell hope , she tells bo and daniel could lose his license . jennifer : what if ej starts remembering ? carly : he does n't remember . jennifer : right , not now . okay , but how long can we keep this up , carly ? listen , bo does not have to know everything that happened in that clinic , but i changed my mind , i think he needs to know about brady , so at least he can protect him . carly : i do n't know . jennifer : listen , if we ca n't trust bo with this , we 're all gon na be in trouble . carly : i think we 're already in trouble , jennifer . hope : what 's your decision ? jennifer : the thing is we know -- we know who did this to ej . hope : who was it ? jennifer : it was brady . bo : have a seat . taylor : no . no . you can live with this ? you were there when rafe admitted to killing my mother . you heard him . but he is out there , he is free , he can walk around on the pier , but you 're pulling me in here . and please do not say it 's because of hope . you just want to keep me away from ej . bo : why would i want to do that ? taylor : because i 'm sure that hope told you how i feel about him . bo : how did your boyfriend react when you told him that rafe killed your mother ? taylor : how do you think ? bo : was he surprised ? taylor : oh , no . no , of course not . no , he actually colluded with rafe , a man he despises , to throw my mother down the stairs so they could split whatever they got for pawning her cameo . you know he needs the money . look , i know that sami 's married to that animal and her last name used to be brady and everything , but this is my mother we are talking about . she was murdered and you know who did it and you 're acting like this is some sort of game and that her life meant absolutely nothing . bo : no , that 's not true . taylor : what ? bo : maybe ... maybe i know who killed your mother . i 'd like to know why . do n't you wan na know why ? taylor : no , i want you to arrest rafe . bo : you 're scared that ej knows why . you love him ... if i can describe your relationship at this point like that . but love , when it comes to some people , is n't always blind . taylor : [ deep breath ] [ cell phone rings ] bo : excuse me . i 'm with a witness . hope : i know you 're with taylor , but there 's something you need to know . brady was the one who beat up ej . bo : damn it . hope : i know . not good news . bo : no , it 's not . hope : you need to talk to brady a - s - a - p . bo : yeah , you 're right , i do . um , thanks for the update . so ... nothing ? okay . i got ta go . i 'll have an officer come in and take your statement . taylor : wow . wow , ej was right . salem is a police state . bo : taylor , i have a file drawer devoted to women who have loved ej . women who thought they could change him . i really would like to keep your name off that list of sad women . i 'd like one of those desserts and some coffee . melanie : did you ever think that if you and victor were just together you would be -- what 's the word ? happy ? maggie : oh ... so this is n't about me getting victor out of town to avoid a blood feud . this is about the two of us going off into the sunset ... to enjoy our golden years together . melanie : oh , maggie , you 're so hard to talk to . maggie : and you will say anything to get what you want ! melanie : you know all those things you say bother you about victor ? melanie : mm - hm . melanie : i do n't think they bother you as much as you say they do . maggie : okay . okay , melanie , the bottom line is he has shut me out . he does n't want to deal with me . so all of this is idle speculation . melanie : i 'm tired . maggie : mm - hm , i know . i am too . [ giggles ] melanie : look , maybe this ca n't be fixed . i keep trying , but maybe i should have just kept walking when i saw brady and ej . melanie : no , mm - mm . you had to intervene . i think it 's the cover - up that 's getting to you . melanie : yeah . i just hope nobody else has to pay for my actions . adrienne : someone attacked ej dimera ? i 'd like you to explain how this scarf got so much blood on it . and you 're surprised ? round up the usual suspects . that 's half the citizens of salem . dario : mrs. k , like i said , i can handle this . i was here last night ... working . mccarthy : and you can corroborate that ? adrienne : absolutely . dario : can i finish ? i was here , but not for the whole night . hope : not that he really needs a reason , but do you have any idea why brady went after ej ? jennifer : well , according to melanie , brady found out that the man that killed arianna was one of ej 's employees , some drug - runner . and he might have killed her to keep her quiet . hope : whoa , whoa , whoa , wait a second . what do you mean `` according to melanie ? `` what does melanie have to do with this ? carly : melanie kept brady from killing ej . she was trying to protect brady . hope : now she 's in danger too . carly : do n't you think we know that ? jennifer : carly , just -- it 's all right , just relax , okay ? hope : no , no , no , it 's okay . it 's a pretty stressful situation all the way around . maxine : excuse me , dr . manning . i hate to interrupt , but dr . janice in pediatrics needs you to call him . you can use the phone right over there . carly : mm , all right , i 'm sorry . hope : okay , i , um -- i understand that she 's worried about her daughter and that i am most definitely not her favorite person ... but does n't carly seem a little on edge to you ? jennifer : it 's what you said . you know , it 's a really stressful situation . carly 's been working really hard . that 's all it is . hope : yeah . yeah , i guess . anyway , um , i suppose it 's a good thing that , uh , melanie was able to stop brady from finishing the job on ej . jennifer : absolutely . you can see why brady flew off the handle . i mean that 's a pretty serious provocation , do n't you think ? hope : oh , i understand . but now we 're talking dimera payback and victor 's not gon na stop . [ sighs ] god only knows how this whole thing 's gon na play out . brady : stop trying to scare her . if ej figures out what happens , he 's gon na come after me , not her . victor : and wo n't it be wonderful when he finds the two of you together ? why do n't you go celebrate your newfound freedom with your slut girlfriend chloe ? believe me , brady is perfectly capable of screwing up his own life without your help . nicole : oh , sure , keep it up or he 'll take off just like philip did and you 'll be alone in this house and that 'll be exactly what you deserve . victor : fine , i 'll be alone and miserable and brokenhearted . i promise . now get out of here before you make things even worse . you see , that 's what you do , nicole . you make things worse . now go ! bo : in this case , i got ta agree with victor . melanie : so you think i did the right thing ? maggie : yes , you were put in an awful spot . you did what you had to do . melanie : right , now i have to deal with the fallout . maggie : mm - hm . melanie : so will you please , please just -- just try and talk to victor ? maggie : why ca n't i ever say no to you ? all right , i 'll try . but you got ta remember something . there are no guarantees when it comes to victor . you know that . melanie : yeah . maggie : mm - hm . melanie : [ sighs ] carly : okay , well , why do n't you give me a call back if that does n't seem to be working ? okay . hey . jennifer : hey . carly : i 'm sorry i snapped at hope . it was uncalled for . jennifer : it 's okay . i mean , you 're really worried about melanie . i understand that . carly : i am . but i do n't want hope seeing me lose it like that and i sure as hell do n't want her to feel sorry for me . ej . i 'll be back . jennifer : okay . hey , maxine , i just want you to know i made a preemptive strike and i called that woman at `` the intruder `` before she called me . maxine : and ? jennifer : and i think that i have , uh , got everything calmed down ... for now ... as long as nothing else happens . [ heart rate monitor beeping ] hope : how 's he doing ? carly : he 's sleeping . he needs it . hope : he really does n't remember what happened to him , huh ? carly : not so far , no . hope : good . that 'll give bo time to talk to brady . carly : do n't get me wrong , okay ?

nicole : what ? bo : you 're under arrest . nicole : for what ? bo : well , i 'm sure you 've done something and i 've got 72 hours to figure out exactly what that is and charge you . nicole : you can not put me in jail . bo : yeah , i can . a lot going down right now and that 's the only place i know you 'll be safe . nicole : oh , really ?

bo : a little bit of both . victor : you do know what will happen if the dimera 's get wind of this ? bo : i do . victor : well , do n't you think it would be better for our fair little metropolis if someone else were to be blamed for this attack ? i mean , god knows there 's enough candidates . bo : you 're right , there are . and part of me , the family part , understands why you did what you did and wishes that you had succeeded . but the official part has to inform you that it 's called attempted murder . brady : mm - hm . are you gon na arrest me or what ? bo : not yet . there may be a way to keep you out of jail . but in order to do that all hell 's gon na break loose . brady : hm . officer moreno : you can wait in here . taylor : what the hell are you doing here ?

'cause that 's where and how he was found , is n't it ? that info ... sure as hell was n't on the noon news . roman : so in other words ... you know this because you were there ? monahan : yes . rafe : well , unless , of course , andré gave him enough information to make his confession stick . come on . [ softly ] how much is he paying you ? monahan : nothing . i 'm telling you the truth . rafe : yeah , right . you have n't told the truth since you were a baby on santa 's lap . roman : [ chuckles ] we just have a few more questions to ask you . well , that 's too bad . because my client is n't giving you any more answers . he 'll grow up to be whoever he wants to be , not some carbon copy of you . victor : so you 'd rather he grew up in the shadow of that shrew that you 're shacked up with . [ brady sighs ] a sloth would be a better mother . brady : really ? i 've heard this crap before . i 'm tired of it . victor : yeah , well , you do n't listen . this child represents the future of our family . you realize how far back we go , the people we 're descended from ? brady : the gods of mount olympus ... or something ? victor : this is not a joke , brady . i lost a son last year , and one thing i realized out of that whole thing is that life is precious . family is precious . brady : this coming from the man who disinherited justin and me ... what was it , yesterday ? victor : no . you know i did n't mean that . the point is this child has to live in a house where he can thrive . and that 's not going to happen if you insist on being with theresa . brady : you know , granddad , if family is that precious to you , you would let me live the way i want to live my life . otherwise , you 're gon na lose both of us . paul : i 'd like to think that ... that i take after you . john : you do . except i 'm better looking .

[ both chuckle ] i wan na do something that actually means something . john : yeah , well , outside of a 100-mile - an - hour fast ball and a 12 - 6 curve , what do you think you 're best at ? paul : analytics . problem solving , karate . you know , my mom always said that i could read a person better than anyone she knew . john : you just described a pi . paul : you think i could do that ? john : after i train you . so what do you say , son ? would you like to be my student ? paul : show me the way , sensei .

[ tense music ] rafe : i know you 're on vacation , but there 's been a new development in the andré dimera case . i need you to call me asap . roman : listen ... i think we need to cut andré loose . rafe : what ? roman : we take this case to trial , it 'll shine a light on the fact that stefano was killed with bo 's service revolver , all right ? that 's gon na bring a lot of unwanted attention to the department . and hope 's already been under enough pressure . rafe : we already let jimmy holman go because we lost evidence . now we 're gon na let andré go free ? justin : rafe , why are you so sure monahan is lying ? rafe : wha -- okay , well , you obviously have n't heard his story . it gives new definition to the word weak . justin : so does your case . you ca n't keep andré dimera locked up on circumstantial evidence when someone 's just confessed to the crime . rafe : okay . well , why do n't you go in there and talk to him and we 'll see how you feel after . justin : fine . i will .

[ gentle music ] rafe : well ? justin : you 're right . monahan 's story is pretty thin . rafe : i told you . justin : but i could n't poke any holes in it . and he does n't seem very likely to recant . rafe : [ scoffs ] what about the texts ? justin : what texts ? roman : the ones that andré and chad said they received from stefano 's phone after his death . justin : no . he did n't mention that . but those would only prove that someone wanted stefano 's family to think that he was still alive , right ? andré could have sent those himself . rafe : i 'm sure he did . justin : but that does n't make him guilty . and if someone is confessing to the crime , how could we possibly hold him ?

[ scene_break ] philip : look , i know this is n't how you usually do things , but just for now . for me . just try and block everything out . okay ? remember what we said . it 's just you and me , just us . stephanie : right . philip : right . wow , it 's a beautiful day . we should put on our suits and go for a dip . what do you say ? stephanie : i do n't know if i feel like it . philip : come on . come on , let 's get changed . stephanie : [ sighs ] block it all out . all of it .

but just this once use a little common sense . you 're not even out of the hospital yet from your last act of heroism , and now you 're ready to go and take on stefano dimera ? and maybe go to jail ?

abigail : i 'm not gon na break my promise . i just -- okay , look , i know that your brother is engaged to sami , but -- chad : but ... abigail : i do n't really understand why you 're so concerned with keeping her secret . chad : because i think i need to make up for what i did . with what happened at nick and gabi 's wedding , this whole thing is my fault . kate : so there is something else that i want to talk to you about . it 's about nick . i fired him today . gabi : what ? wait , i thought you said he was doing a good job . kate : yes , he was , but he did violate a clause in his contract , and i really felt that i had no choice . gabi : how did he take it ? i mean , is he all right ? kate : why are you even worried after what he did ? gabi : because i care about him . i mean , does it matter that it did n't work out for us ? kate : okay . look , gabi , to me that says that nick still has his hooks into you . gabi : no . look , i know that he makes mistakes . big ones . but i just feel like he 's so lost right now and also losing his job -- gabi : after losing you , which was his fault , not yours . and everything he did , they were n't mistakes , gabi . he has to learn that he is never going to get away with treating people the way he does . especially the way he treated my grandson . ej : abraham , no , we were just having a conversation about william . he 's being discharged today , so we 're making plans . sami : you know , he 'll be able to go home as soon as you 're finished with him . abe : well , i just need to talk to will and sonny alone . ej : this is n't a friendly visit ? abe : i just need their statements about the night of the shooting . sami : really ? they 're the only two people who were n't in rafe 's room that night . okay . ej : yeah , um -- [ clears throat ] i would just like to reinforce the fact that that neither william nor sonny have legal representation present . not that they need it , of course , as i 'm sure they have nothing to add to your little witch hunt of an investigation . samantha , why do n't we go and wait outside ? sami : all right . ej : sonny , please make sure that abraham does n't tire william out . abe : well , as i said , this wo n't take long . so , uh , let 's get to it . did either of you see sami before the shooting that night ? sami : i ca n't believe that will is alone in there with abe . we never should have left him alone -- he has this inexplicable compulsion to tell the truth . ej : right . clearly a recessive gene . sami : this is n't funny . it 's not . you know , if will talks then abe is gon na find out that it was bernardi is the one who stole that evidence . ej : look , i -- sami : and if he does , it 's gon na lead right to the fact that it looks like everyone was covering up evidence that proves that will shot you , and then we all know what 's gon na happen to him . ej : samantha , i do n't think william 's going to slip . sami : he 's feeling very guilty . ej : i know he is . look , i know that he would like to come clean and i think that he would , if not for the fact that he would be hanging you , your father , his father , and hope out to dry . sami : i hope you 're right . ej : yeah , me too . sami : [ chuckles ] ej : come here . will : um , no , i did n't see my mom . sonny : me neither . abe : so did either of you know the victim ? will : oh , yeah , i know rafe very well . abe : did either of you know officer bernardi ? sonny : i saw him at the coffee house like once or twice , but that 's it . abe : you ? will , did you know him ? will : um , maybe saw him at the police station , but i did n't know him . abe : did either of you see him here that night , in the hospital ? will : nope . sonny : mm - mm . abe : all right . well , i guess that 's it . i have a few other people i need to see , so thank you for talking to me . will : all right . um ... uh ... i 'm sorry there is one thing that i did want to say though . [ eric breathes heavily ] kristen : now , where were we ? eric : what -- what is going on ? kristen : is something wrong ? [ eric pants ] kate : can i give you a piece of advice ? and that is a rhetorical question , because i am going to tell you . i just like to sound reasonable . gabi : i do n't think i can stop you . kate : do n't feel guilty about nick . gabi : i do n't . kate : really ? because when i told you that i fired him you did n't really care about the whys -- you were just worried about him . gabi : because kate , the `` why `` is something that you came up with because of the thing with will . he 's very sorry for what he did . kate : you see , i think he shares his pain with you because he knows how to use people who pity him . gabi : well , maybe i do sort of pity him , okay ? he 's been through a lot . kate : shh ! just think of everything that he 's brought on himself . gabi , he committed murder , and then he was more than happy to let someone else take the blame . he gets out of prison supposedly a new man , a changed man , and what does he do ? he proceeds to blackmail the father of your baby . now i do n't know if he was trying to cheat me , but he was so incompetent , he allowed ej and sami to get my company 's formula . so now he has the whole horton clan surrounding him . they have his back , they 're forgiving him , they 're making excuses for him . and still he continues to do the same thing . gabi : okay , can you just stop , okay ? because he would do anything for me and arianna , even knowing that she is n't his . kate : god , you know , norman bates would do anything for his mother , and that does n't mean it was right . gabi : all right look , you 've been really nice to me , and i do n't want to fight with you , but the only thing i 'm gon na say is are you really in a position to be talking to me about relationships ? or to be telling me how much i should care about the person that loved me ? kate : okay . then do n't do as i do . but please listen to what i have to say . because you have your whole life ahead of you . i never learned from my mistakes , gabi . i went from one dysfunctional relationship to another . from one pretty face to a rich one , and heaven forbid there was a rich and pretty one . i just kind of perfected the art of denial . and now when i realize that all i ever really wanted was a good man ... it 's probably too late . abigail : i think you 're crazy to blame yourself . chad : really ? you ever hear of the butterfly effect ? so this thing with the video and what i did at nick and gabi 's wedding was more like the sledgehammer effect . all those horrible things that happened afterwards were completely my fault . abigail : you do n't see that that 's a pretty egocentric view of the world ? chad : abigail , is n't it obvious that if i had just kept my mouth shut and my nose out of other people 's business , everyone would have been better off ? abigail : no . no , chad , you do n't know that at all . maybe things would have been a whole lot worse if you had n't done something . will has a daughter now ... he might not have . chad : let 's not talk about will . let 's talk about you . i hate that i betrayed you like that . it 's like i took everything we worked on and i just , like , threw it out the window . i 'm really grateful that you managed to somehow forgive me as much as you did . abigail : well , luckily for you , you are a pretty tough guy to be mad at . cameron : [ sighs ] abigail : do you want to come in ? cameron : i have to be at the hospital at 6 : 00 . abigail : oh , so good night then . cameron : i had a terrific time . abigail : are you sure that you do n't want to take some of this yummy dessert home with you ? give yourself a nice sugar rush breakfast ? cameron : well , i had a great night tonight with you . abigail : yeah . cameron : but i think i 'm just gon na take home that sweet memory . sami : hey , so what did you say to him ? will : nothing really . sami : what did you say to him ? what did he say ? sonny : he told him that you would never shoot bernardi on purpose and without reason . sami : that 's it ? that 's all you said ? will : yeah , that 's it . sami : thank you . will : hey , no problem . sami : thank you . will : okay , ow ! easy . sami : oh , i 'm sorry ! will : no , that 's all right . sami : thank you . will : you 're welcome . um , you know , sonny , could you do me a favor ? can you maybe take mom out for a cup of coffee or something ? i 'd like to speak to ej alone . sami : why ? what 's going on ? will : well , if i wanted you to know i would n't have just asked sonny to take you out of here , so ... sami : [ scoffs ] sonny : come on . you know how stubborn he can be . sami : what ? i wonder where he gets that ? [ ej chuckles ] will : well , i think we both know who was behind this . yeah . thanks for not denying it . my question for you is are you so loyal to stefano that you would risk my mom going to jail for the rest of her life ? nicole : so you gave me the wrong room number . yeah , there was n't a priest in there . there was a couple , and they were n't exactly playing parcheesi . martha : how horrible for you . nicole : for the last time , will you just give me father eric 's room number ? please ? george : oh , you 're still here . nicole : yeah , and i 'm not leaving until i see father eric ! george : okay , then i 'm gon na call the police . nicole : [ scoffs ] kristen : [ gasps ] eric : god , i want you . like i 've never wanted anything . kristen : i feel the same way . eric : shh ! shut up and kiss me . abigail : wha -- cameron , hey . hi . chad : [ clears throat ] cameron : sorry to barge in . abigail : hey . cameron : hey , i was on my break and thought i 'd grab a coffee . i did n't know you were closed . chad : yeah , but luckily you know the owner . your usual ? cameron : yeah . chad : all right . cameron : thanks . well , it looks like you guys had fun . you 're not as upset as you were last time i saw you . abigail : yeah , we did . we had a really good time . cameron : so that thing you wanted to talk to me about earlier , is it about what 's going on between the two of you ? sami : i just want to know what will and ej have to talk about that i ca n't be there . why did you drag me out of there ? sonny : well , this is just , like , off the top of my head but maybe will thinks that you sometimes let things slip that should n't be slipped . sami : hey , will is allowed to talk to me like that , you -- okay , fine , you can talk to me like that too . and for the record , i am sorry that you have been dragged into this mess . sonny : it 's okay . you know , my mom warned me that will came with a lot of , uh , complicated relationships . sami : i 'm pretty sure she used the word , `` baggage . `` [ chad chuckles ] sami : hey , you know what ? i think we 're gon na get along a lot better if we do n't talk about the things your mom says about me . sonny : true . sami : deal ? sonny : deal . [ sami laughs ] sonny : hey , look who 's here . hey , baby , what 's up ? gabi : you want her ? sonny : yes . gabi : her mama is ready to get out of here . sonny : oh , her daddy and i ca n't wait . you know , we have this sweet bassinet at home for you . we do . gabi : i was just gon na go change her diaper . sonny : well , this would be a good time for a diaper changing tutorial . gabi : well , i know you 're gon na catch on real quick . it 's not exactly rocket science . sonny : all right . gabi : let 's go . kate : so i saw abe leave . he did n't look like he was in a very good mood . word on the street is they still have n't found the weapon , the one that you said the detective had . sami : that 's right . they have n't . which is very bad for me . and you love that , do n't you ? ej : look , i do understand where you 're coming from . but this is not a question of loyalty . will : okay , then what is it a question of ? because stefano sent that man to kill rafe . ej : but i ca n't prove that . and if i accuse my father , then i prove that bernardi was in his employ . will : well , you would also prove that mom did what she did to stop that guy from killing rafe . ej : so if i said that he worked for my father , well , now the police are going to investigate that . that means they 're going to talk to my father . this might come as a bit of a shock to you , but my father is going to lie to the police , william . he will say whatever he needs to say to prove that samantha knows bernardi and that she had a motive for killing him . you know how he feels about your mother . he will relish the opportunity to throw her away and cover his own ass . [ will sighs ] ej : look , i 'm not trying to protect my father . but it 's very important that he remains neutral , william , at least until your mother 's name is cleared . i will fight as hard as i can to make sure that your mother does not go to prison for killing that man . but i will not tip my hand to my father unless i absolutely have to . will : [ whispers ] okay . nicole : so i am not stalking him -- i am just trying to help him save this school , and he needs his research to make his case . and i already tried faxing it over , and obviously it did n't work . i just want to go to his room , hand him these papers , and i will leave , okay ? why ca n't you just do this one thing for me , all right ? just tell him that i 'm here . george : it is not our policy to disturb our guests . nicole : he 's a priest . what 's there to disturb ? [ both panting ] eric : what -- what just happened ? abigail : what i had to tell you is -- um , it 's kind of about chad , but it 's not what you think it is . chad : [ clears throat ] i 'm gon na run for a minute , but the `` closed `` sign is up , so no one should bother you , okay ? cameron : yup . abigail : okay . [ cameron sighs ] abigail : so you want to tell me what 's going on with you ? cameron : okay . well , you told me that amusement park thing was n't a date , but when i get here , i see you touching his face . abigail : yeah . and ? cameron : and we 're supposed to be together , but i felt closer to you nine months ago than i do now . abigail : hey , that 's not true . cameron : you know , feelings , they 're not true or false . they just are . i mean , maybe this is just easier for you . abigail : excuse me ? cameron : i mean , you got two guys on a string so you do n't really -- you do n't have to , you know , get serious with either one of them . abigail : uh - huh . is this about having sex ? cameron : you tell me . gabi : all right , this did not look this complicated when the nurse showed me . sonny : i think maybe the duck should go in the front . gabi : yeah , that 's weird . okay , yeah . let 's try that . sonny : gabi ? gabi : yup . sonny : what is that ? gabi : oh , uh , yeah , i know . doctor said it 's gon na fall off in a couple weeks . sonny : oh , that 's something to look forward to . good thing you 're so damned cute . gabi : [ giggles ] yeah . hey , um , i want to say thank you so much for letting us move in with will . i know it 's like three 's company with a baby . sonny : no , i think it 's gon na work out great . gabi : all right . sonny : just great . kate : i think you are being a little paranoid because i am not overjoyed -- i 'm concerned . if that knife does n't appear , then your little story starts to kind of evaporate , now , does n't it ? sami : it 's not a knife . it was a razor . kate : oh , really ? so they found it ? sami : no . kate : oh , so the thing that they should be finding in that room , if you were telling the truth is now a razor , not a knife . what a world of difference that makes . sami : okay , fine . go to hell . kate : sami . i am on your side . i do n't think it helps , though , if you change your testimony after the fact . sami : i agree with you , but i am not changing my testimony . i said all along that it was a blade , and now i am sure that it was a razor . knife , razor , who cares ? the point is the guy was not going in there to give rafe a shave . kate : look , i understand the strain you 're under . i really do . so let me assure you there 's one thing that you do n't have to worry about if they send you up the river -- i will take care of will and the baby . i 'll make sure they have everything they need . sami : i am not going up the river , because i did n't do anything wrong . but there is one person we can blame for all of this , and that is you , katherine . ej : i 'm not going to let anything happen to your mother , and personally , i 'm happy my father is out of the country . it means he ca n't make the situation worse . will : well , he 's gon na get away with another attempted murder though . ej : not necessarily he 's not . look , we should just hope that they find that razor , okay ? and you let me handle my father my way . will : okay . so we have to find the razor . ej : yeah . and we have to hope nobody else has seen that video . kristen : ooh , i 'm sorry , eric . aw , i had to do it , sweetie . if you 're seeing spots before your eyes ... abigail : i ca n't believe that you are throwing this in my face . cameron : look , i 'm trying to find out where i stand with you . look , i thought we were getting close enough to where things might change between us . but then i come here and i see you looking like you 're about to kiss chad . abigail : this is n't the place for this conversation , okay ? cameron : maybe not . but we do need to have it . i got ta get back to the hospital . abigail : right . cameron : great bumping into you . chad : hey , you forgot your coffee . cameron : it 's cold . chad : he does not look like a happy camper . and neither do you . abigail : it was n't the best conversation i ever had . chad : well , hey , maybe this will cheer you up . at least i hope it will . kate : you 're the only one in the world who could shoot a person in the back at point blank range and then blame it on someone else . sami : you have feelings for rafe , you were having an affair with him , and then you threw it in stefano 's face . kate : [ cries ] i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry about that . i do n't know -- i do n't know -- i should have known that i would end up hurting him . rafe is the one person i never , ever wanted to hurt . sami : kate , you 're human . will : hey , where 's sonny ? i 'm ready to get the hell out of here . sami : um , he and gabi went to go change the baby . sonny : ready to go ? 'cause we are . sami : ha ! ej : do you need a ride ? will : no , we 're all set . i got the car seat installed , and the entire apartment is babyfied , so we are good to go . sami : well , if you have any questions you can always call me . will : i do n't think we will . we 're shacking up with mary poppins here . [ sami laughs ] sonny : i am practically perfect in every way . yes , i am . sami : hey , ej . ej : mm - hmm ? sami : take me home . ej : mm - hmm . kate : i do feel sorry for you , sami . but maybe a few years in prison will do you and everyone else a world of good . nicole : i paid you good money for wrong information . martha : caveat emptor and all that . george : you know , martha 's pretty hard - hearted , but the story about the schools , it 's very touching . nicole : so you 'll take me to father eric 's room ? george : well , i have to wait for the phone repairman . i ca n't leave the desk right now . nicole : i 'll wait . george : no , you do n't have to -- i 'll give you his room number and you can go alone . kristen : you of all people . i 'm so sorry you had to pay for your bitch of a mother . i 'm so sorry . i 'm so , so sorry . good - bye . wherever your summer takes you ... abe : hey . hey . hey , cam . hey -- look , i 'm sorry if i seemed rude before . cameron : oh , that 's okay . i know you 're busy now that you 're commissioner again . abe : yeah , so what is it you wanted to talk to me about ? cameron : um , yeah , well , i no longer have a second gig , and i was wondering if i could spend more time with theo . abe : well , he and i would love that . cameron : great . i 'll call you . abe : hey , cam . i mean , i could n't help but notice you seem upset . are you okay ? cameron : i -- i 'm fine . i 'm fine . abigail : this is the one . chad : that i promised to win for you at the amusement park but i could n't . abigail : so you found one anyway ? chad : well , i called the owners and i told them i thought the game was rigged and my last name is dimera . abigail : oh , hmm . so you could n't win it for me , so you extorted it with threats and intimidation ? wow , that is so sweet . chad : i paid them for it .

really . paige : okay . but ... can you at least tell me ... did you know that jj 's father is dead ? eve : yes . i did , sweetheart , and it 's a terrible tragedy , especially after everything that man went through . paige : so you 've kept up . eve : well , i got most of the information from your grandparents . and then i read a few things on palpage . but it 's not like we , you know , kept up personally . and i did n't even know that they had a son your age . paige : mom , you 're acting a little weird about all this . eve : no , i 'm not . paige : did you not like the deverauxs ? i mean , if this is going to be a thing then -- eve : no , i - it 's not . paige : maybe you should n't come tonight . eve : no . sweetheart ... i want to go . my budget used to be a real downer . ej : i really do n't know . i found her working in the garden earlier , i think she 's just a bit overwhelmed . sonny : why 's she overwhelmed ? will : because mom just made her an instant wedding planner , and her maid of honor . sonny : maid of honor ? seriously ? ej : yeah , samantha is relying on her for a great deal . sonny : okay , but that does n't make any sense . abigail 's organized , and she 's also calm under pressure . will : yeah , i agree . that 's what threw me , as well . she was really freaked out . sonny : then it 's not about getting stuff done . will : no . no , i think there 's something else that 's upsetting her . sonny : huh . well , you were with her earlier , right ? what did you think ? ej : um ... jennifer : there you are . abigail : sorry i 'm late . jennifer : no , that 's okay . just grab an apron and um -- abigail : wait , no , i 'm sorry , mom , but i ca n't . i have to skip out on dinner , and i 'm also gon na need another personal day for tomorrow too . jennifer : oh , no , honey , you 're not gon na have to take a whole day off . jj : yeah , the graduation is like a long lunch hour . i wo n't be offended if you have to leave early . abigail : no , it 's not -- it 's not that . i need the whole day , because i 'm -- i 'm going to sami brady 's wedding . jennifer : that 's tomorrow ? jj : so , wait . you 're blowing off graduation dinner and part of my graduation for sami brady . why ? abigail : well , because i - i 'm -- i - i 'm planning her wedding , sort of . jennifer : what ? well , i guess since you 're not getting paid , and they 're filthy rich , maybe they can hire a wedding planner , honey . abigail : uh , no , no . they ca n't , mom . they ca n't because it 's not just that they need me to help with the wedding . it 's also that i 'm -- i 'm sami 's maid of honor . kate : okay . once again , i can handle more than one task at a time . sami : just humor me , okay ? please , hold off on the whole jordan demolition until we get this done . kate : n - n - no , you have it all wrong . i mean , we 're pals . we 've bonded . sami : i 'm serious . kate : no . i 'm serious , too . i am encouraging her to see rafe . i mean , i know he pushed her away during the whole gabi thing . but i think i have convinced her to suck it up . to stick to him like glue . see him through the rough patch , you know ? sami : dammit , kate . i do n't understand what you 're even talking about . why would you push them to be together -- oh . kate : mm - hmm . sami : oh , i see . so that when the bomb goes off , you are so removed from the situation you 're not a suspect . kate : that 's right . i want them close , so when the sordid details of her undisclosed past comes out , he can push her away for the right reasons . for good . jordan : wow , this looks pretty private . i 'm never in the park at night . rafe : well , you should n't be , alone . jordan : you do n't have to worry about me , rafe . what ? hey , i 'm sorry . rafe : do you have any idea what happened to my sister ? jordan : i think so . rafe : tell me . jordan : i think your sister found her way into a jam that she could n't get out of . rafe : no . my sister would n't tell me what was going on . and every time i asked her , she would just gloss things over and she would tell me not to worry . jordan : what were you supposed to do ? rafe : push . and push again , and get in her face , and trust my gut . i knew nick was a creep and dangerous , despite what she said . and if i 'd just listened to my gut , and taken care of business , my sister would be out here now , with her child . not in prison doing 10 to 20 for killing nick . eve : sweetheart ... i am going to this dinner tonight , because i want to support you and your boyfriend . paige : and you 're sure ? eve : yes , i 'm sure . listen , it just threw me for a loop there for a minute . come on , you got ta admit there was quite a coincidence here , right ? paige : you 'll be okay with jj 's mom ? eve : yes , i will be fine . in fact , i was going to call jennifer anyway . she would 've been one of the first people i would 've called . paige : to pay your respects , because of mr. devereaux 's death . eve : well , that 's part of it . but hey , since we 're going over there tonight , what better time than the present , right ? sami : did you find out something else about jordan ? something besides the false ids ? and now you 're being coy with me about it ? kate : no . no , i 'm just focusing on our plan , i thought that 's what you wanted . sami : oh , so now you do n't trust me . kate : come on , sami . you fell for jordan 's line . sami : i did not . i just -- rafe , he seems so happy , he seems like he really loves her . kate : maybe not . sami : you know that even if you succeed in breaking them up he 's not coming back to you . kate : what do you care about what rafe thinks anyway , huh ? sami : well ... kate : oh , great . sami : what ? kate : really ? now that you 're dumping ej , what are you going to try to get rafe back ? jordan : it 's hard to look back and not wish that we 'd done things differently for gabi . i know i do . rafe : do n't . jordan : but i do . she 's your sister and if i had reached out -- rafe : it 's not your fault . it 's mine . i 'm the man of the family , i was supposed to look out after my sisters . i failed both of them ... just like i failed ... jordan : what ? rafe : never mind . i just ca n't go through that with you . ej : okay , look , what exactly did she say to you ? will : just that she does n't feel like she 's really mom 's friend and that she 's not worthy . ej : oh , please . that 's nonsense . will : i thought so . anyways , i talked her down . i told her that we would all help out . she agreed to hang in . ej : thank you . i certainly appreciate that . will : anytime . ej : well , how about my wedding day ? will : yeah , of course . what can i do ? ej : i need a best man . jj : get out . jennifer : you 're sami 's maid of honor ? abigail : yeah . jennifer : when did you become friends ? i knew that you were tutoring her in art -- abigail : right , exactly . that 's when it started , and then uh -- i do n't know . jennifer : now you 're her maid of honor . what about her sisters ? abigail : they 're not here . and even if they were -- jennifer : they would n't step foot near a dimera . jj : smart women . jennifer : what about marlena ? abigail : she 's not even coming to the wedding . jennifer : there is no one else that can do this ? abigail : look , the wedding is in the morning , and sami promised me that i would be done with more than enough time to make it to your graduation , okay ? jj : it 's fine , whatever . abigail : no , not whatever , jj . i will be there , okay ? i promise . mom , do you have any idea where my atm card is ? jennifer : yeah . it 's in the desk , top right drawer . why ? abigail : because , i have to buy a dress for tomorrow . jennifer : are you sure you want to do this ? abigail : yeah , of course . sami 'll pay me back , it 's no big deal . jennifer : no , i mean , are you sure that you want to stand up for sami ? abigail : i owe her . jennifer : what ? abigail : because -- because i told her that i would do it . [ kitchen timer goes off ] jennifer : okay , well -- abigail : the -- the timer went off . jennifer : yeah . uh , have fun tonight . abigail : okay . thank you . jennifer : bye . do n't forget to change , okay ? jj : abs , do n't do this . abigail : jj , i told you -- jj : no , forget that . for your own sanity , you need to stay as far away from ej as possible . especially tomorrow . eve : well , i ca n't imagine how jennifer has managed . she lost the man that she loved , the father of her children . how did she seem to you ? did she ever talk about her late husband ? paige : not to me . i mean , i just met her . eve : mm - hmm . paige : but , she seems okay , i guess . she must be pretty strong . eve : well , she 'd have to be , would n't she ? paige : oh , jj talks about his dad though . it 's still really hard for him . they had some good times in london and then his dad had to go to afghanistan . oh , did you know that he wrote a book about it ? eve : uh , yeah , i 'd hear paige : i just started it , and it 's hard to put down . it 's harrowing . eve : oh . paige : mom , have you read the book ? whoa - oh , oh , whoa - oh , oh jordan : you do n't need to go through the same thing with me , rafe . i do n't need you to protect me . rafe : really ? but you do n't say a word to me about where you came from . you 've got a brother in town who you wo n't even publicly acknowledge , that 's not normal . that 's the way people act when they 're in hiding . jordan : i told you , it 's just because it 's painful , so -- rafe : listen , whatever happened with you and ben , it is not just gon na go away . tell me . jordan : it really is better if you do n't know . rafe : no , it is not , jordan . no , i need to know what it is , i ca n't do this anymore , i wo n't -- jordan : you do n't know what you 're asking . rafe : you 're right . i do n't . which means i ca n't help you , and you 're just setting me up . jordan : what ? rafe : yeah , whatever it is comes to town , i 'm not going to be able to see it , or know how to stop it . jordan : because you wo n't be in the line of fire . just -- please let it go . rafe : have you heard a word that i 've said ? jordan : okay , i know that it makes you mad , but it really is -- rafe : do not say it is better , or i 'm going to lose my mind . i 'm sure that both of my sisters thought that it was better . one of 'em 's in the ground , and one 's in prison . is that better ? sami : what is wrong with you ? i am marrying ej . kate : yeah , for revenge . you 're gon na get what you need and then you 're going to dump him , right ? sami : yeah . as soon as i get what i need . kate : ugh , sami . sami : what ? kate : oh , god . please , please do n't tell me that you are still in love with that creep . sami : i do n't even know why we 're still talking about this . kate : you know something ? i think it 's true . i think you really have delusions of getting rafe back . but you know something ? he will never take you back . sami : first of all , if i wanted rafe back , i could get him back in two -- i know what you 're doing , all right ? i get it , and you are just infuriating . kate : yeah , really ? well , i think you 're worse . sami : well , good thing we 're not pals then . kate : [ laughs ] nope . that 's for sure . sami : and this , this whole , like , you know , partnership is like a one - time- only deal , right ? kate : right . but if we play our cards right , we are both going to be set up for the rest of our lives . sami : we just have to keep our eye on the ball , and we can do this . kate : we can do this . sami : we 're clear about what happens next , right ? kate : yes , yes , absolutely . you know , i guess the best thing is for us really not to see each other until after the wedding . sami : yeah . yeah , agreed . kate : okay . so if nothing else comes up then this is -- sami : this is it . kate : yeah . so , good luck with those vows . your wedding vows . sami : oh . [ laughs ] right . yeah , of course . kate : okay . oh yeah , oh boy , i would just love to be there to hear you say , `` until death do us part . `` will : you want me to stand up with you ? ej : please . will : should n't you ask chad ? i mean , he 's your brother -- ej : i did . he 's not going to be able to make it in time for the wedding . look , i do n't want you to feel that you 're some sort of fill - in , william . but um ... will : tell the truth , you just want me where you can keep an eye on me .

'cause will and i , we were nervous before our wedding . ej : um ... well , excuse me . if there is one thing i 'm a tiny bit nervous of , it 's that i wo n't remember every detail . i want to really make sure that i absorb every moment of tomorrow . eight years , william . i 've been in love with your mother for eight wonderful years . and you know , over that time there have been people who have had their doubts , and maybe some of them still do . will : not me . i 'd be honored to be your best man . ej : oh , thank you so much . your mother is gon na be so happy . sonny : i 'm due at the club , so i got ta go .

[ both sigh ] deimos , um , look , i do n't -- i do n't really know you anymore . or at least not as well as i thought i did , and i 'm not clear about where you 're going or what your plans are moving forward . but you did n't tell me who tried to kill you . was it victor ? deimos : no . no , it was kate . kate roberts . nicole : i was up at dawn , on a conference call for basic black . deimos hired me to run the company , and believe it or not , i still do . kate : not anymore . you 're fired , nicole . so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] kate : oh , come on . titan ca n't afford to have one of its companies being run by a murderer . your desk is being cleaned out as we speak . nicole : kate , you have no authority to fire me . deimos hired me , and there 's no proof that he 's dead . so technically , only deimos can fire me . kate : okay , you 're wrong . again . deimos and i were co - ceos . he chose to hire you . i 'm choosing to fire you . nicole : can we have a moment alone ? dario : nicole , i think -- nicole : please , just , seriously , i 'm fine . dario : i 'll be outside . watching . kate : okay . please make it quick . nicole : it 's just us . i 'm not wearing a wire . my phone is off . why ca n't you just admit it ? kate : [ sighs ] please , i -- let 's not do this again . nicole : deimos used you , kate . he went way over the line . and you lost it and dumped him , literally . and the only way you could save yourself was to pin it on me . but are you willing to see me spend the rest of my life in statesville for something that i did n't do ? do you really hate me that much ? chloe : welcome to the club . kate tried to murder me , and she framed parker 's dad for it . [ sighs ] so why 'd she want you dead ? deimos : kate and i were ... involved . chloe : huh . big mistake . deimos : mm - hmm . chloe : you said that you 'd suffered a loss in salem . was she a woman ? deimos : no , no . no , i never had those kind of feelings for kate . in fact , it 's somewhat satisfying to think that she may be on the hot seat for my disappearance . chloe : meaning she could go to prison ? deimos : no . no , i would never let it get that far . assuming she 's even under suspicion . do me a favor , all right ? do n't tell anyone that i 'm alive . does n't hurt to let her , you know , suffer a little bit . chloe : okay . deimos : as for me , i think it 's time for me to go off the grid for a while . when i took everything from victor , i set aside a nice chunk of change for myself for this very purpose . well , now 's as good a time as any , do n't you think ? chloe : so you 're going for a fresh start ? deimos : yeah , that 's -- that 's the plan , i guess . chloe : mm , well , good for you . i would n't mind one myself . deimos : come with me . andré : what , the fire department does n't have a clue , i mean , no proof of arson ? chad : they 're still investigating . i 've told you , andré . stay out of my life . andré : i 'm sorry . i know you being on the outside , you want to help abigail . it must be very difficult for you , especially now that she seems to be getting worse . chad : who the hell told you that ? andré : i do n't know , somebody said something to me . i ca n't remember . have you ever thought of bringing abigail home , maybe getting the treatment she needs in house ? chad : yeah , i ca n't . not while there 's an ongoing investigation . why do you care ? you do n't even know abby . andré : i -- no , but i know you . you 're all i have , chad . i know i 've done some terrible things to people , especially those closest to me . i swore if i was ever released , i would ... my priority would be to make amends . father 's gone . and we should stick together . dr. robinson : abigail , you need to get control , or i 'm going to have to order a sedative , and i do n't want -- abigail : no , no , no . i -- i 'll be quiet . i 'll be calm , i -- i 'm okay , i just -- see ...

[ suspenseful music ] you 're never going to get better . chloe : go away with you ? seriously ? deimos : sure . why not ? you just said that you want a fresh start , right ? well , why not make one with me ? chloe : because , uh , i have a son to think about . deimos : no , no . parker would come with us , of course . he 's on summer vacation , right ? well , this could be a great adventure for him , and who knows , you know , it might help him get past the loss of his dad . chloe : nothing would ever do that . deimos : no , no , of course not . i 'm just saying that this could be a healthy distraction for him . we could go out west . you know , malibu , baja , hawaii . hell , we could spend a week or two in each place if we want . we could go to thailand or even australia . i mean , would n't you like that ? huh ? no cares , no worries . spending time with a man who loves being with your son . chloe : i -- i mean , it -- it sounds -- ah -- how do you expect me to believe a word you 're saying ? deimos : i do n't blame you for wanting to be cautious . but i 'm saying this from the bottom of my heart , chloe , trust me . chloe : [ sighs ] that 's just it . i -- i do n't . deimos : chloe , please , listen , all right ? i spent 30 years of my life wallowing in hate , thirsting for revenge . and i truly believed that destroying victor would give me everything i ever wanted . and you want to know something ? all it gave me was the realization that ... i do n't want to be that man anymore . or that man that plays vicious games with kate roberts . i want to be this man . this man i am when i 'm with you . kate : okay . no , i do n't hate you . certainly not that much . nicole : but that night , kate : [ scoffs ] i was so , so angry . which was stupid . i mean , it 's not your fault that you look like a woman he loved 30 years ago , right ? [ sighs ] nicole : and that makes sense . kate , please , tell the cops that . tell them that i had nothing to do with it . kate : you really do n't get it . it 's too late . we 're brothers , la famiglia . i did n't trust you then , and i do n't trust you now . get out , andré . andré : yeah , uh , yeah , but listen , chad , you 've been under a great deal of pressure . do n't be hasty -- chad : andré , get out ! andré : oh ! [ sighs ] but i 'm penniless . surely you do n't want to treat me like this . chad : yes . yes , i do . ben : they already know that you set the fire . abigail : mm . ben : today , tomorrow , they 're going to ship you off ... abigail : no , no , no , no . ben : to downstate psychiatric , where it 's going to be `` been nice to know you , babe . `` you are going to be in there for the rest of your life . abigail : [ whimpers ] get away from me . get away from me ! you 're not real . you 're not -- you 're not real , no , no . no , no , get away from me ! no , go away ! just go away ! what 's going on ? you need a doctor ? abigail : no , i -- i 'm fine , i just had a bad nightmare . that 's all . [ door closes ] abigail : [ cries ] chloe : [ exhales deeply ] deimos : what ? what is it ? chloe : [ sighs ] deimos : are you upset ? chloe : [ sighs ] no . deimos : we know there 's something here . chloe : all right , yes . [ chuckles ] there is , and ... when i first met you , even when i did n't know who you really were , i know that i felt your -- your vulnerability . deimos : [ laughs ] chloe . people describe me as confident to the point of arrogance . chloe : i know . i can see that , but ... that 's just superficial . people used to say that about me when i was growing up , but it was just the facade that i put up to protect myself , because , really , deep down inside i was just lonely and scared most of the time . what about you ? deimos : i have moments , i guess . chloe : my guess is that victor treated you like crap . maybe your whole family did . maybe they always reminded you that you were never a real kiriakis , that you were just an accident . deimos : a bastard . chloe : well , i was an orphan . at least , i thought so until i was in my teens and i found my parents . well , they actually found me , but ... up until that point , i never really belonged anywhere either . deimos : wow . we have so much more in common than i even realized . chloe : [ sighs ] deimos : and yet you still want to keep your distance . are you afraid of being hurt ? chloe : yeah . deimos : [ sighs ] all right . well , the last thing i want to do is hurt you again , chloe . so i guess i should leave . chloe : yeah , i think that would be best . deimos : thank you , chloe . really . chloe : hey . [ romantic music ] kate : it 's not like i can go to the police and back off from my story now . i 'd look totally guilty . nicole : but if it was an accident ... kate : with this much who would believe that ? i 'd go to prison for life . nicole : but it 's okay if i do ? i mean , they have n't found the body yet . i mean , a lot of time has passed . who knows ? maybe they never will . birds got ta fly . fish got ta eat . nicole : wow . and here i was beginning to think you actually had a heart . kate : i 'm a survivor . so are you . [ tense music ] kate : [ laughs ] deimos : that was an absolutely incredible surprise . chloe : yeah . it was for me too . deimos : what ? something 's wrong . what is it ? chloe : no , it 's just that suddenly everything just got so complicated , and i was n't expecting this to happen , and now i do n't -- deimos : chloe , it does n't have to be complicated . not if you and parker come away with me . i mean , think about it . we could have a new life . you know , put the past behind us . it could be wonderful . chloe : somehow i think your past will always stay with you . how 'd that happen ? deimos : it 's just something victor did to me back in salem . it 's a long story not worth telling . chloe : somehow i think you 've got a lot of long stories about your time in salem . you said that you suffered a loss . i 'm assuming you 're talking about a woman . deimos : yeah . yeah , it was . but again , not worth telling . and it has nothing to do with you , chloe . chloe : really ? are you sure you 're not using me to get over her ? deimos : no . i am not using you . i know i did that once , but i will never do that again , i promise . you 're far too special for that . all i want right now , all i really want -- to start over . can we just do that ? dario : i 'm surprised kate admitted it . nicole : well , i 'm sure she got tired of holding it in . dario : who knows ? now that it 's out in the open , maybe she 'll do the right thing . nicole : [ sighs ] this is kate roberts we 're talking about . dario : right . nicole : dear god , i -- i would give anything to see deimos walk through those doors right now . dario : [ sighs ] nicole : but if he does n't soon , i 'm going to be royally screwed . dario : you need to get your mind onto something else . nicole : well , i would have gone to work , but kate fired me . dario : yeah , well , i know something that 's gon na do the trick . come on , let 's go . nicole : what ? dario : come on , move it . nicole : oh , oh . hold on a second , new dress . dario : move it or lose it . nicole : [ chuckles ] [ soft music ] chad : thomas , somebody wants to say hello to you . abigail : oh , it 's mommy ! oh , my sweet one . hi . thomas .

ted : xander , stop , please . xander : like i said , you already know too much , and now that you 've figured out that nicole and i are in cahoots , well , that 's just one more reason for you to die . ted : no . hey . we can work out some kind of a deal . xander : and why would i want to do that ? you 've been a very naughty boy , ted . sneaking into my room and taking things that do n't belong to you . ted : holly 's original autopsy report -- the one that proves she did not really die in that car crash . when i showed it to nicole , that 's when she knocked me out and dragged me down here . xander : well , she had a little bit of help with that , thank you very much . ted : xander , all i said was we need to tell the news to everyone about holly . but she said no . i just do n't understand why -- why she would want to have everyone believe that her daughter is dead . why ? nicole : i am not getting into this with you . sami : listen , you are going to hear me out , nicole . losing your child is the worst sort of grief . and i know better than anyone that grief can make you say and do terrible things , but nicole , this is not eric 's fault . he loved and adored your daughter . he is devastated -- nicole : just save it . i 've heard the sob story already . sami : it is n't a sob story . it is the truth . nicole : look , i do n't know what your brother told you , but all i know when i was trapped in that fire : i asked him to do one thing , and that was to take care of my daughter . he swore that he would protect her , and now she 's dead . sami : okay . he 's devastated by that . i mean , he feels terrible . he -- nicole : okay , eric could n't keep his promise . he failed at it , okay ?

eric being too weak and too stupid to come through for me . `` oh , i do n't know if i 'll be a great dad , and i 'm the drunk that killed daniel '' -- sami : okay , stop it . nicole : `` and oh , now i got so scared from that stupid letter that i have nicole 's baby to chloe , the stupid bimbo , and i let holly move in to the dimera mansion , where she might be kidnapped by a drug cartel and blown to bits . so what ? `` sami : what are you talking about ? if eric could go back and change it , he would . nicole : well , he can't . so why do n't you get this through your thick head . it is over between me and eric . oh , and just hearing him weep and grovel makes me sick to my stomach , so i 'm going to tell you and everyone else all over again : i do n't want him . sami : wait a second . he does n't want you either . nicole : oh , look at that . he 's giving up just like he did on holly . well , i 'm here to tell you , thank god he finally took a hint . sami : you are unbelievable . i mean , i get it . grief does crazy things to people , but unbelievably , grief has made you an even bigger bitch . so i do n't feel bad about telling you what i really think . nicole : oh , goodie . sami : when eric told me that he 'd finally , finally given up on any sort of future with you , i celebrated . i celebrated the fact that he was finally gon na be free of your baby - stealing , child - snatching , soul - sucking drama . thank god . he can finally move on and forget all about you and he can finally find a woman who will appreciate what a wonderful man he is . nicole : oh , oh , can i guess ? can i guess ? would that be sarah horton ? eric : getting married now ? rex : well , i 've been -- i 've been trying to convince my beautiful fiancée here there 's no better time than the present . and obviously , we did n't want to do anything while will was in the middle of his crisis , but now that he 's through it , why wait ? eric : what about dad ? you know , and kate and maggie ? rex : no , no , i understand , but we talked about all that and , um ... they want us to have a big wedding , and we do n't want that . and plus , think about it , man . the timing is really bad right now because dad just lost his mom , and maggie is still heartsick over holly , and my mom wants to be there for will . eric : right . it -- it 's kind of all of the sudden , do n't you think ? rex : yeah , but ... if i learned anything from watching sonny and will all throughout will 's situation , it 's that your life can change in an instant . and you should never postpone happiness . you know ? and there are so many things in my life that i thought were important , and they 're just not important to me anymore . like ... sarah . like , all i want is you . all i ever want is you . you are -- you 're a brilliant doctor , but even more than that , you 're a phenomenal woman . i mean , you 're here . you 're from here . salem . and you -- you 're a spaz when you dance . and you play darts with me at 2 : 00 in the morning and -- and kick my ass , by the way . and you 're never afraid to speak your mind and be who you are . and who you are , quite frankly , is a person that i do n't deserve . sarah : rex -- rex : no , listen . when i hurt you , you had every right , every reason in the world to walk away and kick me out of your life forever , and being faced with that , being faced with losing the best thing that ever happened to me , i ... i could n't deal with it . i knew i needed to win you back , and i did n't know how . and the person that helped me the most with that , more than anyone else ... was my brother eric . eric : no , i -- rex : no , listen . you took me and you let me crash at your place . and you talked to me and you listened to me . and you , above all else , encouraged me to never stop fighting for sarah . and your love for nicole through the good times and the bad , man -- even through death , you never gave up on her . nothing and no one was gon na make you give up , and ... that kind of love ... that 's an inspiration .

[ both screaming at once ] brady : what the hell are you doing ? what are you doing ? sami : that crazy bitch is hiding something ! you try hard , ted : xander , i do n't blame you for not being able to pull the trigger . i have represented many murderers through my career , and the act of killing always haunts them forever . xander : trust me , i wo n't lose any sleep over this . ted : i do n't believe that . you have a conscience . i can see this . xander : stop talking . ted : really , xander ? a hired gun ? a hit man ? this is not what you want to do . you want respect . xander : i 'll have you know that i am a high - ranking executive at titan industries . ted : really ? yet there you are , following orders , xander . xander : it was n't my idea , okay ? i ... i do n't want your blood on my hands , and not because i 've gone soft . it happens to work directly against my goal . ted : this is about a woman . xander : sarah horton . i 've been trying to impress her . and handing that diary over so she could save her cousin 's life , that scored me some major points . but then you went and stole that autopsy report . so now i 'm stuck down here doing nicole 's dirty work instead of up there proving myself to sarah . ted : xander ! i made a mistake . xander : a big one . your sticky fingers got us into this mess , and unfortunately for you ... ted : come on . xander : there 's no way out . eric : i 'm not a priest anymore . rex : yeah , but you told me a lot of your former parishioners asked you to perform their ceremonies , so you got ordained online . eric : yes , but ... is this what you want ? sarah : um , eric ... you and i have gotten so close , and ... what i want ... what i really want in my heart is ... for you to perform the ceremony where i make a lifetime commitment to your brother . rex : this is so great . we 're gon na have a wedding ! tell you what ? we are gon na go get changed and we 'll meet you in the chapel . ted : xander , think about sarah . you 're a hero in her eyes . do n't ruin it by killing me . xander : she 'll never know . ted : no , but you will . you will , xander . and even if you win her over , you 'll always have that secret . always . you will always know that you 're not truly worthy of her . sarah deserves to be more than just another con job . does n't she feel like you want to be a better man for real ? come on , xander . xander : she does . you know , i 've been with a lot of women , but ... sarah 's the first one that ever made me want to change my ways . ted : well , i ... i completely understand that . that was my only motivation to bring that autopsy report back to nicole -- is to show hope brady that i am worthy of her love . xander : look at us . two bad boys trying to win the love of a good woman . you know , if this gets out , our reputations will be ruined . ted : i wo n't tell if you won't . xander : like i said , i 'm not going soft ... but you do make a compelling case , counselor . so ... i 've decided to let you live . at least for another day . ted : xander , wait . i bought that necklace for hope . i want you to have it . give it to sarah . show her how dedicated you are to becoming a better man . xander : cheers . sami : there is something weird on nicole 's neck , but she wo n't let me see it . nicole : it 's a scar , okay ? one of the many horrible reminders of what happened the night i almost died in the fire . and after everything that happened with ej , i would think you would be more sensitive . sami : well , i 'm not . so let me see it . [ all shouting at once ] nicole : i 'm not ready to let anyone see my body , okay ? you know what ? fine . sami , if you really need to see it -- brady : no , no , hold on , hold on . no . it 's not necessary . sami : the hell it 's not . [ all talking at once ] lucas : enough . come on . let 's go . sami : lucas , i do n't think we should go . brady : go . sami : you are not getting away with this , nicole . brady : well ... sami has n't lost any of her aggressiveness , as you can see . this is n't about some scars , though , is it ? nicole : no . it was just mostly about eric . i am so tired of having to defend how i feel about him . and just like i told you and everyone else , it 's over . brady : i know . you told me that , but i ... i still think you 're gon na change your mind about that in time , nicole . look , listen . listen , i wanted to talk to you about something , because this surprised me . did stefan offer you a job ? nicole : a good one . brady : okay , well , why would you work at dimera when you could come work for me ? kate : you know , nicole lives near me now . i can stop by her room , find a way to get in , and take a look around . victor : if you could do that , i would be very grateful . kate : hey , anything to support titan 's bottom line . victor : ah , well , i 'm not so much concerned about the company as i am about my grandson . i think nicole 's trying to seduce him . kate : oh , come on . it 's very hard to believe he would go anywhere near that again . victor : would n't you think ? after all the time i 've spent warning him about that harpy . it seems that all my warnings have fallen on deaf ears . brady : nicole , do n't work for stefan . okay ? the guy 's a dirtbag and he 's running dimera into the ground . nicole : i 'm going to help him right the ship . brady : [ sighs ] i do n't want you to waste your talent on him . i want you to work for titan . i could use your skills and your -- and your passion . nicole : i 'm nothing if not passionate . so ... if you 're willing to work with me ... am i wrong to think there 's a chance for us to be together again ? once- daily toujeo helps you control your blood sugar . brady : you know -- you know i ca n't do this , right ? nicole : why not ? why ? you obviously still feel our connection . brady : look at me . you 're grieving . and you 're just trying to find something safe and familiar right now . nicole : brady , almost dying changed me . my needs . my desires . i want to start over ... with you . brady : even -- no . even if that was true , i 'm not ... i 'm not gon na hurt eric again . the man loves you . and i do n't think you 're gon na realize it for a long time , nicole , but you do love him too . and i ca n't -- i 'm not -- i ca n't get in the way of that . nicole : i understand . and i ... i guess you 've given me a reason to turn down your offer . and you 're right . i mean , working side by side every day ... it could be hurtful to eric . brady : so you 're gon na sticl with dimera . nicole : i 'm afraid so . but , brady ... you are still the one and only person in this town that i trust . brady : well , then maybe you could share with me you 're good news . nicole : [ laughs nervously ] what do you mean ? brady : what do i mean ? i ran into hope earlier , in the ... salem inn -- actually , in the hallway outside of your room , and she was looking for ted laurent , and apparently , ted had some good news for you ? nicole : oh , well , i 'm -- as i told hope , i mean , i have no idea what ted wanted . i guess we 'll just have to wait and -- and see . well , you know , i 'm not really feeling so good since i -- my run - in with sami . i 'm gon na ... i 'm gon na go . brady : hold on , hold on . i 'll let you go -- i 'll let you go in just -- it 's really strange because when i ran into hope , she was calling ted and she swore that she heard a phone ringing inside of your room . she tried -- she tried his number again and did n't hear anything , but i think she 's wondering about it . it 's -- what 's going on ? nicole : [ laughing ] brady . that was probably my phone . i mean , i left it in my room by mistake . brady : yeah . i figured it was probably a ... coincidence . you know . nicole : well , if you 'll excuse me , i 'm gon na go lie down .

[ ominous notes ] victor : i said that kristen stabbed me because i wanted that succubus out of my grandson 's life . eli : victor , it 's not exactly a secret how you felt about kristen . she and brady had been together for a while , and they were happy . did something happen that made you decide that you wanted to set her up ? i mean , did she provoke you ? victor : the woman 's name provokes me . eli : well , i need a better answer than that . victor : well , the only answer that matters is that she did n't stab me . i lied . eli : because you wanted her out of brady 's life . victor : yes . eli : i do n't believe you . when migraine strikes , victor : i do n't care what you believe , detective . the fact is , i lied about kristen having stabbed me because i was frustrated with her stranglehold on my grandson . eli : can you be a little more specific about what led you up to this lie ? brady : i 'll tell you . my grandfather 's a hateful old man who would go to any lengths to destroy what kristen and i had -- that 's the deal . eli : i need to hear that from victor . victor : i was hoping ... that the relationship would implode like it did every other time , but this time was different . they 'd just discovered that their child was alive , and i knew that that miracle baby would ... cement their relationship forever . i had to do something drastic to keep her out of brady 's life . eli : why are you confessing all this now ? victor : after a great deal of reflection , i decided it was wrong to keep brady and kristen apart . they loved each other , had a child . so now that you know the truth , you can drop the charges . eli : i 'm afraid it 's not that simple . will : maybe you 're right . i mean , w - what are the odds ?

lucas : you 're gon na give this baby up for adoption ? i mean , why would you do that when you have a family who 's so ready , will , and able to help you take care of this child no matter what ? allie : because i do n't want to take care of this child . i can barely keep a plant alive . i do n't wan na screw up some poor innocent kid . lucas : listen , you 're just overwhelmed right now . you have n't thought things through . allie : i have thought about this , all right ? i do n't wan na be mom . lucas : what does that mean , you do n't wan na be mom ? allie : she always goes on and on and on about how she was too young and totally unready to be a mom to will when you knocked her up . lucas : wait a minute , allie , take it easy -- allie : and that whole thing with her tricking uncle austin into being the father -- i mean , as if he wanted to be ? no . my baby will have parents who care about him from the very beginning . no drama , no games -- just what 's best for the baby . lucas : your mother 's situation has nothing to do with your future -- allie : dad , i have made up my mind ... so you can either respect my decision or back off . limu emu & doug kayla : it must give you peace knowing that gabi is on trial and may be going to prison . i think she will definitely be a no - show at your wedding . lani : gabi has gotten away with so much . i really do hope that she ends up in a cell where she belongs . now , talk about a perfect wedding present . kayla : you are awfully relaxed for a woman who 's about to be married . lani : [ chuckles ] that 's because eli and i are having a small and intimate wedding . i am not gon na let anyone ruin this day . kayla : that 's a good idea . you know , justin and i are doing the same thing , actually , just a few friends and family . lani : yeah , i noticed that ring . kayla : yeah . lani : congratulations . kayla : thank you . lani : it 's so beautiful . i mean , come on ! kayla : yeah . lani : have you guys set a date ?

[ scoffs ] rafe : adoption , huh ? allie : comments ? observations ? rafe : oh ... [ laughs ] i do n't , um ... honestly , i really do n't know much about it , so ... that would n't be fair for me to say , but i know you 'll do what 's best for the baby . i support you . allie : that 's why you were the best stepdad ever . rafe : yeah , do n't forget it , huh ? [ both laugh ] allie : maybe you could have a talk with my dad about listening and respect . rafe : respec -- yeah , well ... you know , if there 's one thing i know about your dad , it 's that he loves you . like a lot , like to death . and he 's a reasonable guy , so ... he 'll probably come around . there is someone else i 'm worried about , though . allie : my mom . rafe : yeah . what 'd she have to say ? allie : i mean , she 's handling it super well ... considering she does n't know about it . and if it were up to me , she never would . rafe : hmm . eli : victor , your stab wound was very real ... okay ? it nearly killed you . so if kristen did n't stick the knife through your chest ... who did ? victor : maybe it 's none of your damn business . eli : none of my damn -- it 's my damn business , okay ? it 's a crime . so who was it ? victor : maybe it was one of my underworld adversaries ... who ca n't be named for retaliation against my family . or maybe my hand slipped when i was cutting a particularly hard piece of cheese on a cheese board . or ... vivian alamain came back to my house naked , and i knifed myself . eli : unfortunately , i do n't think the d.a . 's gon na buy any of those explanations . victor : well , i 'm afraid that 's all they 're gon na get outta me . eli : okay . well , this is what 's gon na happen . i 'm gon na tell d.a . giddens that you lied . he 's gon na go back to the original police report , and we both know what 's on that police report . brady was found in your living room with the knife in his hand and the prints wiped clean . brady , you tell him what happened next . brady : i confessed . eli : exactly . if you remove kristen from the lineup , d.a . giddens is gon na make a beeline for brady , and i 'll have no choice but to arrest him . is that what either of you want ? rafe : you sure you do n't wan na tell your mom ... what 's goin ' on ? allie : you were married to her -- you know what she 's like . rafe : that is true . that 's a good point , yes , uh ... hurricane sami can be a little terrifying . but she 's your mom . and i know how much she loves you . allie : yeah , but her and dad are just so intense . it 's exhausting . [ sighs ] and she would just come in and take over -- take over everything like she always does , and i just ca n't handle it . and my dad promised not to call her , but ... what 's that worth ? david is so lucky to have a chill dad like you . rafe : yeah . allie : what 's wrong ? rafe : um ... i lost custody of david . allie : oh , my god ! i 'm so sorry . rafe : yeah . allie : here i am going on about wanting to give up this child and you just lost the one you loved . steve : [ sighs ] jack : do n't worry . i shut jennifer down telling kayla that ... that you still love her . steve : for now . jack : look ... i told her this is your fight to fight . which it is , my brother . hey , if kayla should hear this from anybody , it should be from you , right ? but i 'll tell you one thing . time 's almost up . she 's planning to get married to justin on the 10th . steve : next week . jack : yeah . clock 's tickin ' . so , uh ... well , i got ta get back the courthouse . uh , good luck , uh ... keeping your focus on what you should be focusing on . and if i could offer another world of advice ... steve : can i stop you ? jack : maybe you guys should go digital . steve : i do n't do well with change . jack : so i gather .

[ dramatic music ] i did n't choose this exact type rafe : so the judge chose zoey because she 's david 's blood relative . allie : the judge is nuts . rafe : yeah . allie : any kid would be so lucky to have you as their dad . especially if there are peas involved . rafe : hmm ? allie : do you remember you used to eat all my peas and johnnie 's when mom was n't looking ? and you hated them just as much as we did . rafe : oh , my god , well , yeah , sami and the frozen food . allie : yeah , it was all she knew how to cook . frozen veggies and fish sticks every single friday night . do you remember ? rafe : oh , god , do i remember ? i been trying to forget ever since , you kiddin ' ?

[ intense music ] my nunormal : fewer asthma attacks . brady : damn it . victor : i tried , brady . what do we do now ? stick with the lie , you could go to prison . which defeats the whole purpose of getting the charges dropped against kristen . brady : and you could be charged with perjury . victor : well , i do n't give a damn about that -- i just want this to work out for you . brady : you got any miracles handy ? victor : i do n't see any we 're clear of this . we 're just gon na have to leave kristen hanging on the hook for a crime she actually committed . brady : no , no , no . i wo n't have it . victor : i do n't know that you have much choice . brady : i wo n't accept it . no . victor : brady , one day you may be able to spend some time with kristen and your little girl . but for right now , there is nothing that we can do . lani : ohh ... eli : ugh ... so it has started . lani : mm - hmm , mm - hmm . that is so good . so good . how 'd it go with brady ? eli : he actually put victor up to changing his story about kristen stabbing him . but of course i knew they were lying because you told me that kristen confessed . lani : wait , you did n't tell them that , did you ? eli : no , absolutely not . but i did let them know that if they go down this route , it 's not gon na end well for them . lani : you think they 're gon na listen to you ? eli : i do n't know . but -- [ scoffs ] -- prison for brady and perjury for victor ? i think that was enough to curb their enthusiasm . lani : hmm . eli : anyway , how 'bout you share some of that sundae with your baby daddy and we talk weddings and happily ever afters ? lani : mmm - hmm . eli : wait . [ lani laughing ] with a pickle ? lani : it 's so good . eli : mm .

[ sniffles ] moving in with will and sonny . they 're good guys . a hell of a lot better than me . gabi : i need to go . please take care of yourself . nick : [ sniffles ] abigail : mom , when dad flipped out because i started to see chad , you are the one that told him to relax . jennifer : yes , but that was before he did what he did at gabi 's wedding , honey . abigail : mom , everyone makes mistakes . i 've made plenty . jennifer : absolutely . that was more than a mistake . and besides , you just told me that you 're feeling really close to cameron . abigail : i am . and i do . sometimes . if i were so sure that he was the right one , why would i keep thinking about chad ? oh , this is -- i do n't know what 's wrong with me . jennifer : honey , there 's nothing wrong with you . it 's just a confusing time right now . it 's okay . abigail : you have no idea . jennifer : what ? no idea about what , honey ? abigail : nothing . nothing . jennifer : abigail , please . abigail : no , mom , seriously forget it . i 'm fine . i just need to be alone , okay ? jennifer : okay . will : correct me if i 'm wrong , but did n't you and abigail break up after the wedding thing ? chad : yeah , that would be correct . will : yeah . well , listen . i mean , we all make mistakes , and if i 'm over what you did , i 'm sure abigail 's over what you did , you know . and if you had n't done it , then i would n't be a father to my little girl . so in a really convoluted way , i mean , you did me a favor . chad : wow . thanks for saying that , man . well , i 'll let you get back to whatever i interrupted . i 'll see you guys later , all right ? sonny : all right , see you later . will : where were we ? sonny : i think we were right here . nicole : marlena , i was there because i found eric 's notes back at the church . the ones he needed for the meeting about the school . i knew how important they were to him , so i tracked him down and -- you know , god , i just pray that he 's gon na be okay . roman : yeah , we 're all doing that . marlena : i 'm so sorry . roman : why did n't the paramedics take him to the closest hospital ? nicole : because i wanted him to get the best care possible , so i insisted that they bring him here , and daniel 's gon na help him . he has to . [ monitor beeps ] [ door closes ] i got his labs . white count 's normal . daniel : well , that 's strange . maybe it 's viral ? daniel : no . i 'm not so sure . kristen : would you like a drink ? chyka : i hope i 'm not interrupting . kristen : no . just making a little something to remember the night by . because god knows that nobody else is gon na remember , right ? daniel : i 'm gon na start a broad spectrum antibiotic while we wait for his cultures . okay . and if his condition changes at all , you come to me ... of course . daniel : right away , all right ? okay . [ monitor beeping rapidly ] will : hey . everything okay ? gabi : yeah , everything 's great . is ari still sleeping ? sonny : yep . gabi : long nap . great . you know what that means . will : she 's gon na wake up and she 's never gon na go to sleep again . gabi : well , i would n't say never , but she is gon na wake up every two hours . she 's gon na be hungry , cranky . she 's gon na be crying her little head off . sonny : was n't she down for , like , five hours the other night ? gabi : well , yeah , that was -- that was a fluke . that was a one - time thing . she 's not even a month old . you really expect her to , you know , sleep the whole night through ? will : no , of course not . my mom said i did n't leave her alone for more than three hours till i was one . gabi : yeah , i was like that too , and i hope it 's not hereditary because if it is , we are in trouble . i 'm gon na go try to nap for a bit while i can , okay ? sonny : get over here . will : ah ! ow . so how old were you when you slept through the night , mister ? sonny : well , i was the perfect baby apparently . i slept through the night as soon as i got home from the hospital . rarely cried . and you know , when i was six months old , i was speaking in full sentences . [ laughs ] and then i bowled people over with my highly refined sense of humor ... will : oh , shut up . sonny : before i could even walk , can you believe that ? will : please , you were -- i 'm sure you were a little nightmare . sonny : i was . yeah , my mom said that she did n't sleep or even rest for , like , the first two years . will : two years ? sonny : two years . will : you expect three - week- old ari to sleep through the night ? sonny : a boy can hope , ca n't he ? will : i 'm gon na go sing to her . kristen : are you all right ? chyka : i have to admit this is not simply a courtesy call . there 's something you need to know about the drug 's aftereffects . kristen : you mean the fever and the chills ? those aftereffects ? marlena : daniel . roman : how is he ? daniel : well , heart rate 's back to normal and the fever 's broken , yeah . marlena : so quickly ? daniel : he was very dehydrated , so we pumped him full of fluids , and he seems to be responding very well . marlena : [ sighs ] roman : so then he 's gon na be okay . daniel : yeah . it looks that way . marlena : i assume you 'd like him to stay a couple days ? daniel : well , actually i 'm not sure that 'll be necessary if he continues to improve at this rate . and i know that sounds surprising considering the state that he was in when he came here , but -- nicole : daniel , you are the best . marlena : yes , thank you so much . thank you both so much . daniel : well , when the nurses finish checking his vitals , you know , you can go in and see him . roman : all right . daniel : yeah . roman : well , thanks . okay . daniel : can i talk to you for a minute ? nicole : sure . daniel : yeah , i need to know everything that happened from the time you found eric to the time that you brought him here . every detail however unimportant it may seem . nicole : why , what 's going on ? kristen : the fever and the chills are n't the side effects you 're talking about , are they ? chyka : no . as i said , they should subside quickly . i 'm referring to the other thing we discussed . kristen : the promise that you made me that the patient would n't remember anything that happened to him ? that other thing ? chyka : uh , yes . that . daniel : eric 's lab results are not indicative of a bacterial infection . i have never seen a virus hit this hard this fast and clear up just as quickly . nicole : i 'm sorry . what are you saying ? daniel : well , if i did n't know better , i would say that eric was poisoned . kristen : now you 're telling me this ? chyka : i 'm sorry . it was only after i gave you those formulations that i was alerted to a problem with the ingredients i used . apparently , part of the compound was corrupted . kristen : so ? chyka : its properties are likely not as potent as i expected them to be . kristen : and what does that mean ? chyka : obviously the drug worked as expected . but it 's very difficult for me to make any promises about the victim 's long - term memory at this time . kristen : so what you 're telling me is that this person could remember everything that happened to him ? is that what you 're saying ? damn it . [ glass shatters ] eric : [ groaning ] | nicole tried to revive eric . when eric woke up , he thought about him and kristen making love , but he did n't see her face . george ( the guy at the front desk of the plaza ) stopped kristen from leaving . nick came over to will and sonny 's place to talk to will . george and a police officer wanted to know what was in kristen 's bag . nick apologized to will for the way he treated him . will told him he did n't have to apologize . will told nick he understood what happened to him in prison . kristen said she had lingerie in her bag , but george still wanted her arrested because she was a thief . george and the police officer thought she could have been a hooker . george wanted to know what she was doing at the plaza . eric finally woke up and was in pain . nicole left to get help . martha showed up before the police officer put the cuffs on kristen and told them there was a misunderstanding . george apologized and kristen left . |

[ laughs ] right . well , i 'm sure we 're all going to have a lot of fun hearing about it over dinner tonight , right ? jennifer : no , that 's not going to happen . theresa : [ sighs ] no , brady is definitely into me . i mean , when we 're out having fun , he ca n't get enough of me . anne : uh - huh . but in the light of day ? theresa : he can be a little irritable when he 's detoxing . anne : and when he 's sober . theresa : it 's like he -- i get the impression that he thinks i 'm a bad influence or something . i mean , seriously , as messed up as he is , can you imagine that ? anne : [ laughs ] do n't take offense , cookie , but i mean , if you want me to be honest ... theresa : it does n't even really matter because , actually ... there 's someone in my corner . he just does n't know it yet . anne : what are you talking about ? anne : oh . brady : [ sighs ] maggie , uh ... i 've been trying really hard to ... to do what you 've always told me to do and to do what the program has taught me and to -- to be honest ... about what i 'm going through . maggie : okay , go on . brady : so , to be honest with you ... i think maybe -- maybe ... i might need some help . ej : that 's not who you are . abigail : right . i left out `` liar . `` ej : do you think i like having to lie about this ? abigail : no , but you are just so good at it . i mean , i ought to know . ej : no , i know that no good is going to come from the truth . and if you keep freaking out the way you did earlier in front of william and sonny , the questions are going to keep coming . abigail : okay , i 'm sorry , all right ? i 'm obviously not as talented at deceiving people as you are . ej : just get to the wedding . abigail : [ sighs ] ej : i promise you , i will keep samantha so busy , she wo n't even have time to think about you . abigail : and what happens if i see sami around town ? ej : i 'm quite sure that you will be able to avoid all but the most casual communication . abigail : right , because that has just worked out great for me so far . ej : abigail , please , after everything we 've been through , can you just do this for us ? do it for me . ben : hi . sorry to interrupt . i thought you were alone . well , i 'll let you finish whatever you were doing . ej : no , actually , you -- you were n't interrupting anything . i do n't think we 've had the chance to properly meet . i 'm ej dimera . ben : ben rogers . ej : nice to meet you , ben . actually , you know , um , we were just talking about you . jj : mom , what 's wrong ? jennifer : well , the oven thermostat must not be working , so the roast probably still has about two hours to go , and in the interest of avoiding salmonella , i think we need to change our dinner plans . jj : oh , well , i guess we could go out . jennifer : no . um , because i need to babysit the meat . so the two of you could go out . dinner 's on me . paige : mrs. deveraux , you do n't have to -- jennifer : no , really , i insist . i want you guys to go have a really nice time . and , you know , your mom and i -- we could just have hors d'ouevres and -- eve : and chat . jennifer : and chat . eve : perfect . jennifer : yes . so , uh ... here you go . go ahead . jj : thanks , mom . paige : yes , thanks . jennifer : you 're welcome . sure , have a great time . eve : have fun , kids . thanks , jennifer . really generous of you . jennifer : sure . [ door closes ] jennifer : your daughter 's lovely . eve : why , thank you . your son -- he 's , um ... interesting . jennifer : what 's that supposed to mean ? eve : well , paige told me he 's gone through a bit of a hard time these past few years . jennifer : yeah , he has . mm - hmm . but he 's doing really well , and he is a great young man . but you know what ? i do n't need to justify anything to you , 'cause you did n't come here to talk about my son . eve : no ? jennifer : no . so you know what ? let 's just clear the air . let 's not make this go on any longer than it has to , okay ? marlena : so ej wanted you to perform the ceremony . abe : marlena , believe me -- i understand how you feel about ej , but i do believe that he truly loves sami . marlena : i think so too . it 's just they spend so much time hurting each other . you know what ? i should be happy for her ... because she 'll have someone in her corner ... and because you will be there for her and her children . ben : you were talking about me ? that 's not what it sounded like . ej : oh , you -- you mean the favor that i was asking abigail . my fiancée and i are getting married tomorrow , and she had asked abigail if she would be kind enough to help plan the wedding ... ben : really ? ej : and ... be the maid of honor . you know , i think that , um ... maybe part of the problem is that abigail 's having to deal with this all alone , you know ? a maid of honor really should have an escort , do n't you think ? and i think if you were to ask her ... abigail : ej . ej : i 'm quite sure that she would say ... abigail : ej . ej : yes . okay . just , um ... just putting it out there . i hope you understand how important this is to samantha . okay , hopefully i will see you tomorrow . ben : mm . ej : good night . ben : so ... where 's this wedding ? abigail : it 's at the dimera mansion . but honestly , everything that ej was just saying about you coming is just -- ben : a great idea . abigail : really ? i do n't think that you actually realize how miserable it 's going to be . ben : abigail , i do n't care . i just want to be there with you ... because i honestly do n't trust that guy at all . anne : why would john black be in your corner ? theresa : mm . he 's not , not yet . anne : well , and what good would it do to get him there ? i thought you said brady and his old man did n't get along . theresa : oh , no , brady ca n't stand him -- he 's such a drag . anne : right . theresa : i mean , i ca n't even believe they were ever with the same woman . anne : what ? theresa : well , not at the same time . but even decades later , daddy did n't like sharing . so , whenever he 's around , he sets brady off like a firecracker on the fourth of july . anne : oh , well , that must be fun . theresa : yeah , and somehow , daddy - o ca n't get a hint . i mean , if you ask me , he 's not that bright . he even tried to bribe me into leaving town . can you believe that guy ? anne : oh , gosh , ca n't imagine why he 'd think you 'd be so mercenary as to take his money . theresa : well , since i 'm here ... i 'm gon na try to have some fun . theresa : mr. black ... what a surprise . john : [ sighs ] maggie : brady ... what makes you think you need help ? you know ... that there 's nothing that you could say to me that i have n't heard before . and i 'd never , ever judge . brady : uh , i 'm ... i 'm using again . maggie : cocaine ? brady : yeah . yeah . a little ... not a lot . i mean , just -- just ... just a little bit , but it has got me a little worried . i 'm -- i 'm scared . i am scared . paige : jj ? jj : hmm ? paige : you have n't said a word since we left your house . jj : did you get the impression that my mom and your mom were n't exactly best friends in high school ? it -- it seems like they -- they have this history . paige : yeah , you 're right . they do . eve : well , after all these years , jennifer , what exactly do you think we need to clear the air about ? jennifer : frankie . eve : frankie ? wow . you talk about ancient history . i 'm sure you 're aware that frankie and i did n't exactly work out . but you know what ? if you want to rub salt in that old wound , jennifer , you just go right -- jennifer : no , that is not what i want to do . i actually want to tell you something . and who knows ? maybe you already know . but i just feel like -- eve : he came out of africa , all the way out of africa , to be with his one true love -- you . abigail : why do n't you trust ej ? you do n't even know him . ben : do you trust him ? abigail : no , i do n't . but i know him . i know all about him and his family -- who they are , what they 've done , what they 're capable of doing . i dated his brother , you know ? ben : and ? abigail : and i thought chad was different . i thought that he was n't like the rest of the dimeras , but as it turns out , chad was never straightforward with me about anything , and ej is the exact same way . people that normally meet ej when they do n't know him think that he 's charming and sweet , so ... what have you heard about him ? ben : nothing . it 's just what my gut says . abigail : huh . you know , you , uh ... you felt the same way when you first saw nick , and you were right . ben : yeah . well ... where i come from , when you meet a guy , you get to be a very good judge of character real quick . abigail : mm - hmm . and where is it that you come from ? marlena : oh , ej . i 'm glad i ran into you . i just talked to abe . he tells me the wedding is tomorrow . ej : ah . i 'm sorry that you had to find out that way . i really hoped samantha would 've called you . i would 've done so myself . it just did n't seem like my place . marlena : no , it is n't . ej : [ sighs ] look , now that you know , samantha 's far too stubborn to admit this , but it would mean a tremendous amount to her if you would consider attending . and who knows ? maybe it could go some way to mending fences -- marlena : why is it my job to mend the fences between sami and me , hmm ? john : [ clicks tongue ] theresa : if you 're looking for your son , he 's not here yet . but he will be . and we 're going to have a great evening , like we always do . john : theresa . theresa : hmm ? john : i really need you to listen to me . theresa : mm , let me guess . you 're about to give me lecture number 536 on why i should stay away from your son , huh ? maggie : brady , do you find yourself using mostly when you 've been drinking ? brady : mm . we talked about this . the drinking is not the problem . maggie : yeah , but do you ? brady : it 's not the issue . maggie : do you ? brady : yes . yes , i do 'em both , yeah , i guess . maggie : look , i know you do n't want to hear this , but drinking lowers your inhibitions and your willpower . i mean , that 's how cross - addiction works . brady : [ sighs ] i 've never had a problem with that before . i do n't think that 's what 's going on here . maggie : well , maybe drinking has n't been a concern before . but now when you drink , you crave cocaine . and if you indulge in that craving , then you are probably drinking in a way that you have never done before . it 's a vicious cycle , brady . and no matter how many times you tell yourself you wo n't do it again , you do . so , if you 're afraid that you 're losing control and that your life is becoming unmanageable , then it probably is . brady ... you know there is a solution . brady : [ sighs ] paige : [ sighs ] my mom said she and your mother did n't hang with the same crowd and ... jj : what , did she trash my mom ? paige : no , she just did n't seem to want to talk about it much . jj : why ? paige : i do n't know . but i get the feeling ... jj : they were n't exactly friends ? paige : yeah ... that they might 've been just the opposite . jennifer : i would n't exactly put it that way . but , yeah , frankie and i tried . anyway , i guess you already know all of that . eve : you know , jennifer , after all these years , you 've never been far from my mind . but i suppose , um ... you ca n't say the same about me , huh ? jennifer : are you still upset with me over this whole situation with frankie ? eve : oh , no , are you kidding me ? it was ancient history , i mean , i drove frankie off all by myself . yes , i 've had my share of mistakes with men , but , of course , um , you know how that goes , right ? frankie was one of them . paige 's dad was the other . but you know what ? i 've -- i finally learned . and i think i 'm a stronger person because of it . how about you ? jennifer : how about me ? eve : well , frankie cared deeply about you , jennifer . and yet , you threw him over for jack . jennifer : what ? you have no idea what happened . eve : oh , no . frankie was hurt , hurt deeply . he was afraid to put his heart out on the line again . otherwise , you know ... maybe he would 've come back to me . jennifer : okay , i was right . after all these years , you are still angry with me about frankie . just admit it . eve : [ laughing ] what ? are you -- you 've got to be kidding me . oh , jennifer , really . dad ! not now , buddy . ben : i come from a really small town , where you knew exactly who the good guys were and the not - so - good ones too . abigail : you think that ej is one of the not - so - good ones . ben : abigail , i 'd put money on it ... if i had any money . [ both laugh ] ben : you agree with me , do n't you ? ej : it would mean a tremendous amount to samantha and to the children and , frankly , to myself if you would consider attending the wedding ... unless , of course , if you just do n't want to . marlena : no , of course i want to , but ... ej : look , i - i appreciate you do n't really approve of your daughter 's choice in spouse . but after everything that i sacrificed to get your daughter out of jail . and after working as hard to expedite your credentials so you could marry william and sonny , i- i thought that you and i were at least on cordial terms . marlena : understand this . i appreciate everything that you 've done . ej : okay , then help me , please . just come and bear witness while i declare my -- my love and my commitment to your daughter . theresa : what do you want ? john : look , i know that you 're having a good time with my son . theresa : yeah , brady 's a lot of fun . john : and i ca n't lay down the law about who he can and ca n't spend his time with . theresa : but you 're going to try anyway , right ? john : but he ... has a substance - abuse problem , and you are enabling him . theresa : [ sighs ] i do n't know what you 're talking about . i do n't have a problem . john : i do n't know . maybe you do n't . maybe you can party and have a good time and just take it or leave it , but my son ... he ca n't handle it . and if you keep encouraging this reckless behavior , he 's going to die ... which is why i 've got to ask you . leave him alone . please , theresa , just -- just let him go . theresa : you know , you do n't know what you 're talking about , mr. black , because , actually , brady 's not going to die . actually , he 's finally started to live . john : not as long as he 's with you . maggie : brady , uh , there 's a meeting , an n.a . meeting , today at the hospital . brady : thank you , maggie . i do n't know if i 'm ready for -- maggie : you do n't have to -- you know you do n't have to say anything . just slip in and listen . and i 'll be happy to go with you , or i just leave you at the door ... whatever will make you the most comfortable . but ... just take the first step . brady : take the first step . the thing is , i have a date tonight . maggie : with theresa ? i see . well ... what do you want to do ? jj : but everybody likes my mom . okay , not everyone . but she 's , like , the nicest person ever . i mean , yeah , my dad used to do some sketchy stuff , so maybe it has something to do with him . paige : ugh . i , uh -- i do n't know . my mom knew about your dad dying , and it seemed like she felt pretty bad about it . jj : did she ever talk about when she used to live here ? paige : no , never . i was surprised when she said she wanted to move to salem , because i got the feeling ... she did n't have the best experience when she was here . and the one guy she has ever talked about does n't even live here anymore . jj : do you know his name ? paige : uh ... frankie something ? jj : oh , my god . eve : [ laughing ] really . oh . oh . jennifer : what -- what are you laughing at ? eve : i 'm so sorry , but do n't you think it 's just a little bit funny that after all these years , that everything is still , i do n't know , the same ? i mean , look at you . you 're still so sweet , so adorable , and so naive . jennifer : `` naive `` ? eve : yes . i mean , how could i be angry over frankie ? really , jennifer , it was so ancient history , and ... as is this rivalry , right ? jennifer : right . eve : yes . and , uh , on a serious note , i ... i have n't had an opportunity to say how sorry i am ... well , about jack . mm , look at this man . oh . he was a wonderful man . jennifer : yes , he was . eve : and you were so in love with him that you were willing to forgive him over and over and over and over again , except -- do you remember that one time ? [ laughing ] it 's hilarious . jennifer : no , what time ? eve : oh , my gosh , you do n't remember the look on your face when i told you that jack and i were married ? oh , my gosh , do you remember that day ?

serena : yeah . yeah , you know , just -- i 'm worried about eric . he almost died last night . abe : oh , he 's gon na be all right . look , um , why do n't you just take a few minutes ? get a drink of water . calm yourself down . then we can talk . marlena : honey , no . what are you doing ? no , no , no , no . honey , you 're too sick to get up . please do n't even try that yet . just lie still . roman : hey , hey , mr. tough guy . do n't give your mom a hard time . marlena : i wonder where he gets that . roman : [ chuckles ] you are looking a whole lot better this morning . eric : that 's not saying much . marlena : do you have any leads on this ? roman : [ sighs ] not yet . look , son , i do n't want to push it if you 're not ready , but whatever you can tell us ... eric : it was xander cook , dad . he tried to kill us last night . xander : uncle victor -- victor : quiet . i have no more patience for your lies . the first thing you should know is that eric brady and nicole walker are still very much alive . your idiotic plan to kill them was a - a failure . thank god . xander : i di -- i did n't . victor : you did . now , i know all about your alibi . maybe the police ca n't put you at the scene of the crime , but i know better . i talked to daniel last night . he was very upset because you were still pursuing nicole ... after you promised me that you would stay the hell away from her . you of all people , alexandros , should know what happens to men who defy me . as far as i 'm concerned , it 's the ultimate sin . daniel : hey , eric is fine . just try to relax , okay ? nicole : mm . my head is spinning . daniel : once we get your temp down and get you rehydrated , you 're gon na feel much better . thank god we got to you when we did last night . nicole : `` we `` ? you found me ? how did you ? daniel : i was worried sick . i thought you 'd fallen off the face of the earth . and finally , brady and i went down to your office , and we found out the power was out and that the -- the heat was cranked up as high as it could go . do you -- do you remember any of that ? god knows how long you and eric were trapped in there . honey , you 're safe . you 're safe , and it 's over , baby . it 's all over now . nicole : oh , daniel . daniel : yeah ? nicole : i wish that were true , but it 's not . you are loved hope : have n't we already been over this ?

rafe : yeah . yeah , really . you know , when clyde made those threats against ari and gabi , i realized it was n't worth it , especially after you told me you thought clyde was responsible for that hit on that prisoner in florida . so , instead of going after weston , i 've got some friends watching out for gabi , and that 's the way i feel it 's best to protect the people that i love . hope : and what if he decides to go after someone else we care about ? then what ? rafe : well , then -- hope : if it does n't stop -- [ cell phone ringing ] hope : i 'm sorry . excuse me . yeah . brady . what ? are you kidding me ? where ? all right , i 'm on my way . thanks . rafe : what 's going on ?

eric : better . john : that 's good , 'cause your doctor just gave me the green light to question you a little more extensively . so , if you two could give us a couple minutes alone ... roman : well , i was just starting to do that . john : well , for the sake of protocol , i was kind of hoping you could do nicole . you know , we do n't want any irregularities if this thing goes to court . roman : well , you know what , john ? that is a good point . makes sense . you talk to eric . i 'll talk to nicole . john : sounds good . roman : i love you , son , okay ? eric : yeah . roman : and i will be back in a while . marlena : i 'd like to stay . i hope that is n't a problem for you . john : no problem with me , if it 's okay with eric . eric : of course not . john : [ sighs ] eric : sorry . john : yeah , eric , i imagine you 're still a little fuzzy , so i 'm gon na start out with the easy stuff , all right ? so why do n't you just try to tell me what you and nicole were doing up there in that crawl space ? daniel : honey , i know last night was terrifying . you almost died . of course that trauma 's going to be with you for a long time . nicole : that 's not it . nicole : did xander , um ... did he hurt you in any other way ? nicole : [ sighs ] [ screams ] he strangled me , daniel . i could n't breathe . he came to my office last night , and he tried to kill me . daniel : why ? w - why would he want to , uh -- i mean , do you -- do you have any idea ? nicole : i - i was alone in the building , a - and i was ... about to come and meet you , and he showed up , and that 's -- that 's when you called me to tell me about taking your mom to the hospital . how is maggie ? daniel : she 's , uh -- she 's fine . so , uh , what -- what happened next ? nicole : he saw your name come up in the caller i d , and he went crazy . i mean , i - i guess ... i guess he thought that was proof that i was using him , and it was . daniel : because you wanted to find out what he and serena were up to . nicole : i did , daniel . they were both smuggling diamonds ... blood diamonds from africa . daniel : oh , my god . that 's what that secret compartment in the elephant statue was for . i could n't get serena to tell me , but i - i knew she did n't want xander to hurt anybody , but she was too afraid of him to tell me the truth . nicole : now i understand why serena was so afraid . but before xander had shown up , i found out a few years before he was in prison in scotland . do you know what for ? daniel : no . nicole : murder . and i know you would appreciate me sparing you the gory details . daniel : i mean , xander was what we called `` a troubled kid , `` to put it nicely . i knew ... i knew he was n't as reformed as he wanted everybody to believe , but i just never imagined that he was capable of ... of that , that -- nicole : [ sighs ] me either . daniel : how ? how did you find out ? nicole : it was n't easy ... but it turns out the charges were eventually reduced . xander was released , and his record was expunged . daniel : why -- why would the charges be reduced if he was convicted -- no . no , tell me it was n't ... nicole : victor . victor : not only did you defy me ... you were too craven to admit what you had done . then you did n't leave when i told you to . and you were going to run out without owning up to any of it . xander : no . i was on my way to tell you everything , then these men -- they assaulted me . victor : i raided your `` rainy day `` fund . you were n't coming to see me . you were just going to collect your nest egg and run off before you had to face my wrath . xander : i swear the police will never be able to prove i did anything to eric and nicole . your name will never even come into it . victor : that may be true , but the police are not your concern now . we all know who the real arbiters of justice are . that job 's reserved for family . stefano : katerina , what a thing to say to someone you once loved . kate : blindly , stupidly . stefano : [ chuckles ] i suppose i could say the same thing . kate : well , fortunately i 've moved on . and fortunately for the rest of us , now you will . he 's all yours . hope : well , well , well ... stefano : [ chuckles ] hope : stefano dimera . long time no see . by the way , you 're under arrest . i realize you 're an expert at this by now , but i 'm obliged to inform you you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can ... and will be used against you in a court of law . stefano : [ chuckles ] victor : are you idiot enough to think that you 're smarter than i am ... that you can deceive me and get away with it ? xander : is n't this exactly the kind of dirty work you 're paying me to do ? you hate nicole . she 's only going to ruin your precious godson 's life , anyway . victor : oh , so you were doing daniel a favor , eh ? xander : i do n't understand why you have such a problem with that . victor : the problem , alexandros , is that i told you to leave nicole alone . that 's not what you did . you do n't seem to know your place . xander : you think i do n't know my place ? you 've made it very clear to me my whole life ... despite all my hard work and loyalty , despite all the risks i 've taken to do the dirty jobs that no one else would deign to do , all without complaint . it 's never enough . in your eyes , i 'll always be unworthy ... beneath every other member of this family , including the great dr . daniel jonas , your godson , who 's not even your own flesh and blood ! daniel : i ca n't believe victor ... nicole : really ? you ca n't ? daniel : nicole , i am so sorry . if i had n't called you when i did -- nicole : no , it would n't have made a difference . daniel : i would 've come if i had known . why did n't you tell me ? why did n't you tell me what was going on ? nicole : i was gon na tell you ... last night . daniel : all this time , i 've been wondering what was going on with you and xander . nicole : i needed to have proof . daniel : you did n't think i would believe you . nicole : i ... i did n't want to put you in danger . daniel : i never would have forgiven myself if i ... i 'm just so grateful that eric was there with you . nicole : [ sighs ] eric : well ... marlena : honey , if you 're not ready to talk about this -- john : look , i 'm sorry , eric . i know that talking about it is going to put you right back where you were last night , but i need you to tell me everything you know , otherwise we 're not gon na be able to put the bad guy away . marlena : you know what ? you 're looking a little flushed . i 'm gon na see if the nurse ca n't get an extra ice pack . eric : thanks . john : all right , now that you do n't have to worry about upsetting your mother , what can you tell me ? daniel : i keep thinking about you being trapped in that tiny , little crawl space with all that heat . things could have ended very differently if eric were n't there . nicole : yeah . daniel ... daniel : yeah , baby . nicole : i -- [ door opens ] roman : sorry to interrupt . uh , i need to talk to nicole , get her statement . abe would like to get yours . daniel : you gon na be okay if i , uh -- if i go ? nicole : as long as you come back soon . daniel : oh , you can count on that . [ both chuckle ] daniel : you can count on it . nicole : hi , roman . roman : hey , nicole . are you ready to tell me what happened to you and eric last night ? nicole : [ sighs ] john : take your time , eric . i know it 's hard , but ... it 's important . can you tell me what happened ? eric : yeah . i can . stefano : apparently , uh , you were so eager to arrest me that you did not bother checking in at the station this morning . hope : well , i 'm going to do that now , but with you in tow , stefano . stefano : [ sighs ] but you would be wasting my time and yours , all right ? so perhaps you could make one phone call before we go on our merry way , huh ? rafe : well , good morning . kate : it certainly is . rafe : why so smug ? i mean , more than normal . kate : hmm . stefano dimera is on his way to jail , and i 'm the one that sent him . rafe : oh . you know , i actually just got off the phone with a friend of mine at the fbi . i do n't think i would be breaking open the grappa just yet . victor : right . daniel is a man who i love and respect . of course he 's more important to me than you are . xander : among many others . victor : yes , and that bothers you a great deal , does n't it ? xander : why would it bother me ? victor : is that why you did this ... because you felt slighted ? xander : no . no , you 're right , uncle . all i 've ever wanted is your love and approval . i did this to protect you . victor : to protect me ? xander : yes . nicole walker was about to discover some particularly sordid details of a transaction i was doing for your business . now , you have repeatedly ordered me to handle these matters without involving you , so i did n't . uncle victor , you must know ... i would n't hesitate to give my life for you ... or to take the life of anyone that dared threaten our family .

[ door closes ] eric : serena finally admitted that she and xander were smuggling diamonds out of africa . i realized how unfair i was being to nicole . i did n't want to listen to her . i mean , she warned me , and -- it 's just that i had known serena a long time , and i never ... realized she was using me . john : all right , so what did you do when you realized the truth ? eric : i - i went down to the tv station to tell nicole . the power to the main entrance was -- it was dead . there was -- there was nobody in the building . it was empty . but i found xander attacking her . john : `` attacking `` ? eric : he was strangling her , john . i did n't have a doubt in my mind if ... he was going to kill her . john : all right . what 'd you do then ? eric : i was able to ... subdue him for a moment . and then nicole said that he was n't working alone . and i knew right then and there , we had to get out of there fast . [ exhales shakily ] we went down to the basement to try to find a back way out . but the exit -- it was blocked . nicole : xander found us down there . he had a gun . eric and i were in the utility room . we barricaded ourselves in there , but ... xander shot the lock off . there was nowhere else to go but the crawl space . and when we were in there , we -- we heard xander kick down the door . roman : okay . then what happened ? nicole : he could n't figure out where we were . and then he left . but then he came back . eric : xander was trying to get in the crawl space . i was holding the grate . john : all right , and what did he do then ? eric : he tried to shoot us . thank god his gun jammed . he could n't fire . and then he moved something . i do n't know what it was . he just -- he was trying to seal us in . he turned up the heat ... [ breathes deeply ] and then he left . it was just unbearable in there . nicole and i , we just -- we knew the building was empty . it was pointless to keep yelling for help . the only thing i could do was -- was just block the vent . nicole : but it did n't help . it just kept getting hotter ... and hotter and ... roman : and ? john : eric ? did you just remember something else ? nothing else you want to tell me ? eric : that 's it . nicole : and that 's it . that 's the whole story . rafe : did you really think that stefano was just gon na waltz into town and plop himself down at club tbd and wait to be arrested ? kate : well , he did it once before , and he got away with it . he probably thought he could do it again . rafe : well , he 'd be right . he did get away with it . he just cut a deal . hope : how much did it cost you ? stefano : well , like any good citizen , i mean , i paid my tax bill , hmm , including penalties and interest . so you see , this was all one big misunderstanding . [ knock at door ] just gon na give you a new ice pack . if , uh , you need me to come back later ... john : no , no . i think we 're about finished here . eric , i 'm gon na look over the other witness statements . i will follow up with you if i have any more questions , all right ? eric : sure . john : yeah . i want you to take care of yourself , eric . you know , i remember once upon a time ... you played a half a soccer season with a full - on broken foot . you kept insisting it was nothing . you remember that ? eric : sort of . john : `` sort of `` ? well , why do n't you sort of be good to yourself , okay ? and if you think of something else , let me know . hey , doc . marlena : oh . hi . john : so how you doing ? marlena : i 'm holding up all right . john : i 'm gon na make you a promise . we 're gon na get this xander cook guy . marlena : i have no doubt about it . john : and eric 's gon na be all right -- he is . marlena : i know that too . john : so what about us ? are we ? roman : so there 's nothing else you can tell me -- any small detail ? you never know how significant it could turn out to be . daniel : she 's pretty exhausted right now , roman . roman : okay . yeah , we were just wrapping this up . daniel : you need to get your rest . doctor 's orders . roman : word to the wise , nicole ... next time you investigate a crime , i would suggest you call the police . nicole : i think i 've learned my lesson . roman : good . thank you for the info . you get some rest . daniel : hey . nicole : thanks for getting rid of him . daniel : i wish i could stay , but i 'll be back when i finish giving my statement , and then we 'll have that talk . nicole : looking forward to it . [ door closes ] [ sighs , scoffs ] daniel : you , uh , found xander yet ? roman : no . and after what nicole told me in there , i 'm even more worried that somebody else could get hurt . victor : your ingratitude disgusts me . all those years ago , i could have left you to rot in prison . now i 'm sorry that i did n't . i 'm going to ask you one more question now , and i wo n't abide a lie . xander : go ahead . victor : you said you 'd give your life for me . is that true ? xander : it is . victor : well , then so be it . abe : serena . you ready to talk now ? serena : i guess . abe : i have some questions to ask you ... about xander cook . daniel : well , she might not answer them ... but i will . kate : salem was such a much happier place without stefano . and now he 's back . rafe : oh , yeah . and of course he found a way to make the charges disappear . but he could have cut the deal months ago . why now ? kate : that 's a very good question . rafe : mm - hmm . hope : judge pierce gave you a sweetheart of a deal , stefano . that 's not like him at all . stefano : [ sighs ] look on the bright side , all right ? now you are free to focus on the true criminals of salem , huh ? may i suggest that you start with clyde weston , hmm ? or there 's always your ex - father - in - law , huh ? [ chuckles ] how is victor kiriakis anyway ? i mean , is he still out on the street after all these years ? [ chuckles ] daniel : this may sound unbelievable , but eric and nicole found out that xander and serena were smuggling in blood diamonds from africa . abe : do they have proof ? daniel : i do n't know . but i 'm sure that 's why xander went after them . abe : serena . it seems you have a lot of light you can shed on this situation . so how about you start talking ? serena : first ... i want to talk to a lawyer . marlena : john , look , if this is about eric , i - i -- john : no , it 's not about eric . it 's about me and you . listen , doc , i - i have been blaming you for something that ... really does n't matter now . marlena : how is it with paul ? john : ah , better . it 's get -- it 's getting better every day . marlena : good . i 'm glad to hear that .

lucas : you 've seen allie ? sonny : yeah , yeah , she was just here . lucas : oh . well , then , uh , guess you know . will : yeah , hard to miss . lucas : yeah , is n't it , though ? um , that 's why i 'm here . i need your help . will : of course . what can we do ? lucas : convince allie not to give up her baby for adoption . sonny : is n't that her choice ? will : yeah , i mean , if -- if she 's not ready to have a child , 's not like you can force her . lucas : yeah , your sister 's made it abundantly clear that she 's , um , not gon na listen to me about anything . i ca n't force her into anything . that 's why i 'm here talking to you two . i was hoping you can convince her that this is a very bad idea to give her baby up to complete strangers . will : well , um , what if they were n't strangers ? allie : oh . yo , megan rapinoe , practice some other time , would ya ? i 'm trying to figure out our future here . xander : oh , hi , uh , pardon my appearance . i was just out for a run . allie : in this heat ? xander : right . um , so , uh , when are you due ? allie : i beg your pardon ? eric : hey . holly has been safely delivered to her sleepover . mm - mm . nicole : oh . eric : [ smooching ] nicole : oh , my goodness . wow . um , i 'm an idiot . eric : what ? why would you say that ? nicole : because i 've been obsessing about flowers and wedding favors and music like this is all up to me . but this is your wedding too , your first wedding . eric : [ chuckles ] does n't mean i want to help you pick out pew bows . nicole : come on , be serious ! this is a momentous occasion , and i want you to think it 's perfect . eric : you know what i think ? i think it will be perfect regardless of the details because i 'm finally marrying the love of my life . nicole : well , when you put it that way ... eric : mm . nicole : [ giggles ] will : so we have n't really told many people this , but , uh , sonny and i want to have another child . and we 've , you know , considered adoption or surrogacy . but we -- we just realized that we could adopt allie 's baby . sonny : if she 's open to it . lucas : well , you just took me by surprise is all . sonny : oh , yeah , i did n't mean to spring that on you . it just all of a sudden seemed like it might work . will : and , you know , we 've explored other options , and ... they 're all pretty complicated , dad , so i mean , like , if we went to an adoption agency , there are a bunch of hoops we got ta jump through . sonny : and with surrogacy , we 'd have to find the right woman to carry the baby . uh , we would have to decide who the biological father should be . lucas : i know . i get what you mean . i get it . will : but if we adopt allie 's baby , the baby would be biologically related to me and arianna . sonny : so it 's kind of the perfect solution . lucas : for you two , yeah . but you just said you did n't talk to allie yet . are you sure she 's gon na feel the same way ?

[ sighs ] he even offered to move out , but i did n't take him up on it . maggie : but you will run into him . sarah : i can handle it . just seeing him used to make my blood boil . i blamed him for every horrible thing that went wrong but ... much more than i blamed victor , so ... maggie : maybe because you were n't planning on marrying victor . i 'm surprised that you held on to this dress . sarah : i held on to it 'cause it 's a beautiful dress ... not because i 'm still in love with xander . maggie : if you say so . [ dramatic music ] allie : when am i due ? why would you ask me that ? for all you know , i could just be ... pudgy . xander : true , but i did just hear you talking to your brother about being pregnant , so ... allie : what , were you listening at the keyhole or something ? xander : i live at kiriakis house , just like will . i 'm xander . xander kiriakis ? victor 's nephew ? allie : will told me about you . xander : i 'm sure he gave me a glowing recommendation . allie : he said to stay away from you . xander : well , you do n't seem like the kind of person who believes everything she hears . allie : look , mr . kiriakis ... i do n't care about you one way or the other . i just do n't want my mom to find out i 'm pregnant . xander : please , call me xander . and no worries , allie . your secret is safe with me . this is what 's worth protecting eli : what , are you saving it for a midnight snack ? lani : i 'm eating for two . eli : [ sighs ] something wrong ? you feel sick ? lani : no , it 's , uh -- it 's not that . i 've been having this really creepy feeling . eli : about what ? lani : i do n't know , like ... someone is watching me or something . eli : lani , you better get used to it , okay ? i catch people watching you all the time . just ca n't believe how beautiful you are . lani : mm , smooth . eli : yeah . lani : so smooth . eli : hey , but enjoy it while you can , because this time tomorrow , you and i will be husband and wife . lani : so , what , no more sweet talk ? eli : what ? i will be in another room watching football , yelling at you to bring me another beer . lani : [ laughs ] and what is different about that ? eli : really ? lani : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] eli : you okay ? what , you tired ? lani : you know , this whole first trimester stuff is a real drag . eli : all right , well , tomorrow 's a big day . lani : mm - hmm . eli : what do you say we hit the hay ? lani : yes , but , um , you 're gon na have to hit the hay somewhere else .

[ sighs ] if i 'm lucky , i 'll be able to hand this kid off to someone who is ready . and my mom will never know i was pregnant . xander : did n't she have will when she was your age ? allie : why do you think she 's like this ? xander : i think you 're doing something very brave for the ... the sake of the wee bairn that 's swimming around inside you . allie : do you always talk like this ? xander : some woman who does want a baby is gon na be so grateful to you for this choice you 've made . allie : it does n't have to be a woman , you know . xander : right . absolutely . i -- hey , it was so nice to meet you , allie , but i 've got another five miles to go . will : i think there are a lot of advantages to keeping this baby in the family . and i mean , i hope allie can see it that way too . lucas : so you 're planning her baby 's future ? you 're just talking to me before you talk to her ? will : well , okay , we 'll -- maybe we should just calm down -- lucas : wait . wait . hold on . hold on . wait a minute . she was n't even sure she wanted to give up the baby until everybody started leaning on her to make a decision . sonny : who 's everybody ? lucas : eric says that he 's worked with girls like allie at the center and we should just back off and give her time right now . and if you guys push her just because it 's good for you , that 's not okay . sonny : we would never do that . will : yeah , dad , we 're only telling you this 'cause we thought you 'd be supportive . i mean , truth is , one adoption agency already gave us the runaround because they do n't like our domestic situation . so i mean , surely that 's not your problem with us adopting allie 's baby , is it ?

[ sighs ] look , i just -- i really do n't want anything to jinx us . eli : nothing is going to jinx us , okay ? we are in love . we have a baby on the way . everything will work out just fine . lani : i know that you think i 'm crazy , okay ? but i just -- i really do n't want to take any chances . eli : so that feeling that you have that somebody 's watching you , you 're really that scared ? lani : i 'm not scared . i just -- i do n't want to tempt fate . that 's it . okay ? sarah : so the flowers were just you laying the groundwork to say that you think that we should have a baby ? xander : that 's what you thought i meant ? sarah : is n't it ? xander : no , no , no , no . sarah : then what did you mean ? xander : i happen to know someone who 's pregnant and looking to give up their child for adoption , and i just could n't think of a more amazing mum for her child than you . eric : you really want rafe to raise your baby ? allie : he was so great to us when he was married to mom . he -- he used to say we were the kids he always wanted . and then she got back with ej and she took us with her . nicole : i remember that . allie : and i -- i just ran into him today , and he was so sad about losing custody of little david . he 's always wanted to be a dad , and it 's just never worked out for him . eric : and that does n't really mean you have to give him your child . allie : i know . but he 's a good guy , and i think it could work out . nicole : does rafe know you feel this way ? allie : no . i did n't think of it until after he left . nicole : well , you are right about him . besides your uncle , he is one of the best men i know . eric : yeah , yeah , he absolutely is . listen , i -- i hate to say this , but can you imagine how your mother 's gon na feel , knowing her ex - husband is raising her grandchild ? lucas : allie wo n't even tell anybody who the birth father is . for all we know , he does n't even know she 's pregnant . sonny : so what ? the father 's probably just some horny kid who does n't even care . lucas : [ sighs ] well , you know , i do n't know about that . i do n't know , because when sami was pregnant with will , i cared , believe me . i was that age , and believe me , i cared . do you realize how much time i lost with him that i 'll never get back ? will : we -- he knows . he 's heard the story . lucas : that 's not the point . the point is , is when i found out the truth , what did i do ? i sued sami to become your legal father . will : yeah , i -- i get -- i get what you 're saying . lucas : right , so if you guys adopt this baby and everything seems fine , what happens when that guy shows up ? what happens when the father shows up and he wants a custody suit ? i do n't want that for my grandchild and i -- i sure as hell do n't want that for the two of you . will : [ sighs ] kate : there you go . kayla agrees with me . kayla : well , no , i said i think that yes , steve is a hero , but it 's for him to decide whether he wants to accept an award at a public ceremony . kate : well , who would n't want to accept an award at a public ceremony ? i mean , why is he being so damn stubborn ? kayla : 'cause that 's how he is . steve : okay , okay , uncle . kate : what does that mean ? steve : you win . i 'll do it . kate : good ! thank god , because the ceremony is next week . i thought i was going to have to get a bomb - sniffing border collie in there for you . but no , salem 's gon na have a real hero . steve : hmm . i feel so honored . kate : great . steve : i 'm all choked up . kate : good ! so i 'll send you the particulars . it 's next friday afternoon . see you there . steve : okay . kayla : well , i guess you 're busy next friday afternoon . mm . steve : sweetness , i -- sorry , just slipped out . kayla : you do n't need to be sorry . stressballs gummies have ashwagandha , lani : i packed up the rest of your stuff . eli : mm , well , you 're being so sweet now that you 've kicked me out . lani : for one night . one night , babe . that 's it . eli : you know , this is your idea . lani : mm - hmm . eli : why are n't you leaving ? lani : because i have the dress and the makeup and the hair products . and you just have that bag over there . eli : fine . [ sighs ] okay , so do you have any suggestions of where i 'm supposed to go ? lani : you have friends . i 'm sure someone will take you in . [ laughs ] will : well , i mean , we have n't even talked to allie yet , so maybe it 's a little early to worry about a custody battle . lucas : i get it . maybe i 'm getting ahead of myself , but ... sonny : well , maybe we should n't have told you what we were thinking before we talked to allie . lucas : listen , i understand why this is so appealing to the both of you . and i am sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry for what the adoption center said , and i understand that you want to cut through the bureaucratic red tape . but i have a lot i have to think about right now . i have to think about allie , i have to think about both of you , and i have to think about that baby she 's carrying inside . [ dramatic music ] allie : uncle eric , i do n't give a damn what mom thinks or does . nicole : honey , i do n't think allie should base her choice on what sami is willing to accept . now , i 've been friends with rafe for a long time . i saw him with david . and allie 's not wrong about this . eric : i do n't disagree with that , but -- allie : why do you keep saying `` but `` ? nicole : you do n't have an issue with a single father adopting a child , do you , babe ? eric : no , of course i don't . i just -- but -- allie : there it is again . eric : just let me finish my first sentence . allie : [ sighs ] sorry . eric : you just chose adoption . i just think it 's a little soon for you to decide who and what person is going to adopt the baby . nicole : okay , i know what you mean , but i think it would be wrong to reject this idea out of hand . allie : thank you . nicole : and i think it 's important for allie to know that she 's giving her baby to someone she can trust , someone who will allow her to be part of her child 's life . allie : yeah , and there 's not a whole lot of people who fit that bill . nicole : and if this is what allie wants ... i think it 's worth pursuing . sarah : are you seriously proposing that i adopt a baby now ? xander : i know there 's a hole in your heart since you lost mackenzie , and i 've seen the kind of mother you are . if i know of a child that needs a home , why would n't i tell you about it ? sarah : how do you know this pregnant lady ? xander : you 'll have to keep it to yourself . it 's allie horton . sarah : allie ? sami and lucas ' daughter ? xander : yeah , does n't that make you , like , cousins or something ? i 'm sure she 'd be interested if you were to -- sarah : if i were to what , make a deal ? replace mackenzie with her baby ? xander : no , that 's not what i was saying . sarah : xander , i ca n't just replace mackenzie with another baby . she was my daughter . she 's my child , my little girl . xander : i 'm sorry . i ... well , i blew this , did n't i ? sarah : you knew that the baby that you delivered and put into my arms was not the same baby that i took home from the hospital . you let me fall in love with a child that belonged to someone else . and then you come waltzing in here with flowers , suggesting that i fall in love with another baby that is n't mine ! xander : it was just an idea . sarah : god , screw your idea , xander , and screw you ! and that protects our customers 24/7 . lucas : listen , allie has to be at peace with whatever decision she makes . and if you guys tell her you want to adopt the baby , it could put pressure on her . sonny : we would never do that . lucas : [ sighs ] look , whether you adopt this baby or another one , i just want you to know that i am beyond thrilled at the possibility of having another grandchild . will : thanks , dad . lucas : and it means the world to me that this baby would be so wanted . thank you . i love you guys . i 'm gon na go , okay ? will : okay . lucas : oh , wait a minute . wait a minute . i do think that allie 's judgment is being clouded by her fear of sami 's reaction , so ... will : yeah , that makes sense to me . lucas : listen , if allie rushes into this and -- and she changes her mind ... i do n't want to see the two of you get hurt like that . it would kill me . [ dramatic music ] sonny : [ sighs ] eric : approaching rafe about adopting your baby is definitely worth considering . do it carefully . he 's still a little raw after his whole custody battle with david . allie : yeah , i could tell . eric : also know your options . i mean , there 's -- there 's private adoption . there 's open adoption . there 's closed adoption . and -- allie : wow . eric : i know . it 's a lot . if you want to use an agency , i can help you with that . i have many years in the field with it . nicole : we 're a one - stop shop : food , warm bed , adoption counseling all under one roof . eric : yeah . and then if you finally decide you want rafe to adopt your baby ... allie : then mom would never have to find out it was my kid . eric : no , she 'll find out . allie : she never leaves ej . nicole : she 'll find out . allie : she might not even care . i mean , her and rafe are friends . eric : but that was before aunt carrie . allie : aunt -- aunt carrie and rafe ? are you kidding ? why does everything have to be so complicated ? nicole : because that is life , kiddo . but we have seen it all , and we are here to help you through . xander : sarah , i -- i did n't mean to hurt you . sarah : you ca n't just go up into the attic and get the crib and bring it down and plop another baby into it and expect everything to be okay . you think that you have me all figured out , and you don't . you 're still playing the same game . xander : look , i may be bad at it , but it 's not a game . i 'm grieving too . she -- i was her dad . i loved her too ! sarah : you loved rachel . 'cause you did n't know mackenzie . neither did i . xander : you 're right . i loved rachel . and i 'm every bit as worried as you are that kristen has her now . and i know that no other baby can replace that sweet , precious girl that i helped bring into the world . but life goes on , sarah , and maybe you and i handle that in different ways , but all i know is , there 's a child out there who needs a home and -- sarah : then you adopt her yourself and leave me the hell out of it ! kayla : sweetness is what you 've called me for almost our whole life together . it brings back a lot of good memories when i hear you say it . steve : yeah , well , you asked me not to call you that , so ... and i doubt justin would appreciate it . i know i would n't if i was in his shoes . you know , it 's probably best that i ca n't make the wedding . i do n't want to make people uncomfortable . kayla : why would we be uncomfortable ? you 're all for justin and me , right ? our biggest cheerleader ? steve : i want you to be happy . i see now that you are . kayla : thank you . there 's just one thing that does n't make me happy . when our daughter and her kids moved in with us ... kayla : i never would 've accepted justin 's proposal if i did n't love him . steve : i know . kayla : but the thing is ... it 's just -- it 's just the kids . they are having a hard time with me marrying their uncle justin . in fact , stephanie said that she ca n't even face coming to the wedding . steve : well , i 'm really sorry about that . kayla : well , i mean , i understand why it 's so hard for them . they all love you so much . steve : i 'll tell you what . i 'll talk to them . kayla : i was n't angling for that . steve : i know . you do n't angle . i 'm their dad . and i hope , uh ... kayla : what ? steve : i hope we can still be friends . kayla : of course . always . [ dramatic music ] steve : i want only the best for you , sweetness . kayla : i want the same for you . lucas : hey . kate : hey . you 're alone . lucas : yes , i am . why would n't i be ? kate : well , i do n't know . i thought maybe that you 'd have allie manacled to your wrist by now . lucas : no , no . um , everyone says i should let her make her own decisions about this , and she has . um ... she wants to give the baby up for adoption . kate : i see . lucas : but fear not . you could smother another grandchild with your undying love , because it looks like sonny and will want to adopt the baby . will : well , sorry my dad was n't , uh , all that enthusiastic . sonny : [ sighs ] you know , when he started talking about what he went through with sami after you were born , it made me realize that he knows a lot more about what could go wrong . will : yeah , i still do n't agree with him about allie , though . i mean , i do n't think she 'd change her mind . you know , i still think we should just -- we should let her know that we would love to adopt her baby if she wants , you know , and let her make her own decision . sonny : i mean , i 'm still in if you are . will : you know , i think it 's probably still early enough to go over to eric and nicole 's . sonny : well , i mean , allie 's had kind of a long day . why do n't we -- why do n't we go tomorrow ? eric : you understand what i 'm saying , right ? you do have time before you decide what you really want . allie : i 'm not going to sneak off to my room and call rafe , if that 's what you 're worried about . he was on his way to court when i saw him . eric : well , when you do see him , keep in mind that he might not think it 's a good idea for him . allie : i know . eric : just want you to know you have other options . and when you do make a decision , it 'll be your decision to make . nicole : and i have a feeling you 're gon na make the one that feels right to you . xander : i 'm sorry i upset you . sarah : i ca n't take you meddling in my life . i ca n't believe i just told my mom that -- that i thought i 'd be all right living in the same house with you . i want to take you up on your offer . i want you to move out . xander : what , because i just suggested that -- sarah : xander , i 'm being serious . i keep trying to set up boundaries , and you keep keep trampling them . and i am not going to give you the chance to do it again . xander : sarah , i -- sarah : just please , just go . eli : so am i allowed to kiss the bride before she kicks me out of our own home ? or is that inviting bad karma too ? lani : i think it 's worth the risk . eli : hey , i promise you ... tomorrow is gon na be the first of all the best days of our lives . lani : [ chuckles ] [ laughs ] okay . eli : wait . wait ! lani : okay , you got ta go . i love you . okay ? eli : you too .

[ cell phone ringing ] kate : ah . ortiz , this better be good . ortiz : oh , it is . i think i may have finally found a solid lead for jordan ridgeway . ben : sorry i 'm late . jordan , what 's wrong ? did something happen with rafe ? jordan : i just talked to him a little while ago , and , um ... he said that he ca n't be in a relationship with me unless i tell him the truth ... about everything . so i 'd like to begin this meeting with a moment of silence for the addict who still suffers . [ cell phone vibrates ] theresa : [ sighs ] brady 's not picking up , and he did n't answer my text . i mean , where the hell is he ? anne : well , maybe he found something better to do ... or someone . theresa : no way . anne : [ scoffs ] he is a man . theresa : who 's devoted to me . you know , i 'll have you know that things are getting very serious between us . i would n't be surprised if i got an engagement ring pretty soon . anne : oh , lord , theresa . i would not be window shopping just yet . theresa : why not ? anne : do you -- do you really think brady black is ever gon na marry you ? paige : how long ago were our moms in high school ? just because they fought over this frankie dude -- assuming that it 's the same guy -- should n't that be , like , ancient history ? jj : yeah . i mean , i guess . but if you had heard my mom talking about this girl who was trying to steal her boyfriend -- paige : `` this girl `` is my mom . you 're making her sound like a total bitch . jj : oh , no , i -- paige : she 's a good mom , and she does n't deserve to be talked about that way . jennifer : i knew it . you are still upset with me about frankie . otherwise , you never even would have -- eve : jennifer , stop , stop . this is not about what happened with frankie . this is about jack . it 's all about jack ... and you ... and , well , me . jennifer : jack ? my husband has been dead for almost two years . eve : yes , i know . and it was such ... such a tragedy . wow . really , from the bottom of my heart , i 'm so sorry for you and your family . but , you know , it must be some comfort to know that jack lives on in his work , in his words , right ? actually , that 's the reason i 'm here . rafe : hi . abe : hey . hey , thank you for bringing this by . rafe : no problem . yeah . everything okay ? abe : yeah , yeah , everything 's fine . rafe : i know you were n't planning on being out of the office tomorrow . abe : yeah , yeah , that 's fine . it 's okay . look , ej asked me to officiate at his and sami 's wedding . rafe : oh . [ chuckles ] it was n't that long ago that you were doing the same thing for sami and me when we ... abe : yeah . rafe : renewed our vows , yeah . abe : i 'm sorry things did n't work out as you 'd hoped . but i have to tell you , you and jordan make a nice - looking couple . rafe : oh . jordan : rafe says he feels like he keeps letting down the people that he loves the most . ben : who does n't feel that way ? jordan : he 's just so upset about gabi . and he knew she was keeping secrets from him , and he feels like if he 'd figured out what they were , then things could have turned out differently . ben : yeah . and he does n't want the same thing to happen with you . jordan : he 's being sweet and protective . but he is insisting that if i do n't tell him everything ... ben : it 's over ? jordan : that 's what it sounds like . you know , i ca n't even blame him for feeling like that . ben : no , you 're right . you ca n't blame rafe ... but you can blame me . i ruined your shot at happiness , jordan . i 'm so sorry . jj : paige , i 'm sorry . i - i did n't mean to make your mom sound like -- paige : i know my mom 's not perfect , okay ? but who is ? she might have made a few bad choices in her life , but do you have any idea how many sacrifices she 's made for me ? jj : okay , i was just trying to figure out what 's going on . paige : and you really have no idea , do you ? this other woman might not even be my mom . and even if she is , it 's -- it 's totally unfair for you to just assume that it was my mom doing the underhanded things to your mom . jj : so -- paige : you 've only heard one side of the story . jj : so what are you saying ? that my mom was lying ? paige : no , but -- rory : wow . is this salem high 's superlative couple ... [ gasps mockingly ] fighting ? man , nobody 's ever going to believe it . i got to get this on tape . bev : [ laughs ] jennifer : you 're here about jack 's work ? eve : yes . the memoir he wrote about his time in afghanistan -- it was riveting , heartbreaking . jennifer : you read it ? eve : i do read . jennifer : [ scoffs ] eve : well , not much . but , i mean , who could resist a best seller written by my ex - husband ? although , you know what , jenn ? i was just a tad bit disappointed that my name was n't mentioned , not even once . jennifer : really ? eve : yeah . jennifer : why would your name be mentioned ? eve : we were married . jennifer : mm , as you keep pointing out ... for the two minutes before it was annulled . why would jack mention a wedding that was a totally sham ? it meant nothing to him . eve : not quite . go ahead . run in the halls , put your feet on the furniture , maggie : brady , um ... i 'm sure you 're probably in -- in the meeting still . i just want you to know how proud i am of you that you took this first step . and if you need to talk , afterwards or at any time , you know where to find me . okay . john : brady went to a meeting ? oh , please tell me that he 's finally getting some help . when we talk about giving up old playmates , playgrounds , playthings , we mean removing negative influences from our lives in order to focus on our recovery . right ? theresa : well , what do you know about marriage , anne ? just because nobody 's ever proposed to you -- anne : or you . theresa : what makes you so sure that brady wo n't marry me ? anne : okay , listen . you 're very good at getting what you want , i 'll grant you that . but brady black is a trust - fund baby . he does n't have free access to his millions . theresa : well , he still makes more in a week than i make in a decade . and he 's an executive at titan . anne : yeah , at his grandfather 's company , which means old victor kiriakis -- he can cut those purse strings whenever he wants . and something tells me he 's not your biggest fan . theresa : well , that grumpy old man -- he does n't like anyone . anne : okay , l - let 's just say brady does get you to the altar , okay ? what you want is n't his assets , right ? it 's his assets . how do you think his father and grandfather are gon na feel about that ? so i suppose if you 'd be happy to just live in a hovel with only love to sustain you ... theresa : old men have to die sometime , so ... ca n't live forever . anne : yeah , that 's true , but they 're not even your biggest obstacle . theresa : oh , no ? anne : no . there 's brady himself . theresa , you 're the kind of girl brady loves to party with . but marry ? no way . abe : is everything okay with you and jordan ? rafe : well , it 's complicated . abe : rafe , i know this is none of my business , but please tell me this has nothing to do with sami marrying ej . kate : you think you may have a lead on jordan ridgeway ? why does that sound familiar ? ortiz : ms. roberts , i am confident this lead 's gon na pan out . kate : it better . ortiz : look , i 've been all over the ozarks with that picture of ben rogers , or whoever he is , and , well , i finally found some folks who recognize him . kate : so ? what did they say ? ortiz : my contact just walked in . i 'll get back to you as soon as we 're finished talking , okay ? kate : finally . we 're going to find out exactly what you 're hiding , jordan . jordan : you 're my baby brother . i promised i 'd always take care of you . ben : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm a big boy now . and , honestly , i should have just stayed away . jordan : why ? ben : because if i did n't show up , rafe would never know you have a secret . jordan : rafe has known that there are things that i am not comfortable sharing with him . ben : yeah , but that 's different than , `` hey , i did n't tell you this , but i have a brother in town , and would you please mind just not telling anybody that we 're related ? and sorry but i ca n't explain why . `` jordan : it does n't matter anyway . ben : it does n't matter ? jordan : when you 're in a relationship with someone , you ca n't hide who you are forever . i ca n't believe that i could think that i could have a regular life , anyway . ben : you absolutely can . jordan : how ? ben : jordan , you have to tell rafe the truth . jj : put that away , dude . rory : but i was gon na make a music montage -- `` jj and paige 's greatest hits . `` bev : you know , i knew you two would n't last . jj : you mean you wish , bev . paige and i were n't fighting . we 're just having a debate . rory : right . well , i thought you 'd be out celebrating being done with salem hellhole high , buddy . jj : [ mockingly ] looks like you already started , dude . rory : yeah , man . me and bev -- we were just at a house party down the street . bev : yeah , and we were on our way to another one when we saw you guys through the window . could n't help noticing the spectacle you were making . paige : `` spectacle `` ? rory : hey , why do n't you ditch miss glee club here and come party with us , man ? we 're a lot more fun . jennifer : eve , i know what happened , because i was there , remember ? jack married you so that you could inherit the $ 10 million that nick corelli left you in his will . and he only did it because he needed the money to save the spectator . eve : and because you left him to go back with frankie . do n't leave that part out , jenn . jennifer : eve . eve : [ chuckles ] and when you two finally got back together that time , did n't i graciously let him out of the marriage ? jennifer : yes , you did , eve . eve : yes , i did . jennifer : but -- eve : and when i left for africa with frankie , i had to give up all my worldly possessions , so i did n't even fight to get my money back . [ chuckles ] right ? jennifer : is -- is that what this is about ? you want your money back ? because jack got that as part of the settlement , and , anyway , he invested it , so really ... eve : i know . jennifer : there is no money . eve : i know . it 's gone . jennifer : yeah . eve : i get that . i guess jack never happened to show you our annulment agreement , did he ? jennifer : why would he ? eve : well , i might not have any claim over his newspaper income , but he did agree to , you know , sign over his rights to half of his earnings of long - form projects , including books . and i 'm sure jack `` mr. a.d.d. `` deveraux never thought he would sit down and pound out a memoir , but he did . can you believe it ? and now i am -- i 'm here . i 'm here to collect what is due me . jennifer : what ? eve : yeah . i happen to have a copy of the annulment agreement ... right here . see ? there you go , jenn . would now be a good time to discuss finances ? maggie : hello , john . john : hey , maggie . maggie : i did n't know you were there . john : i - i came to see vic , but henderson said he was out of town . listen , i did n't mean to eavesdrop , but if brady -- if he 's really going to a meeting , this is wonderful . maggie : john ... you know i ca n't tell you anything . john : yeah , i - i understand that , but -- but this is a huge first step . and if it 's true , i can only hope that things are finally turning around for the kid . theresa : are you trying to tell me that ... anne : [ sighs ] theresa : i 'm not good enough for brady ? anne : look , i did n't mean it as an insult . theresa : oh , no ? i 'm sorry . am i supposed to be flattered ? anne : look , you have a little bit of a reputation , theresa . come on . and after everything brady 's been through with his crazy ex , you think he 's gon na run off and marry salem 's next most infamous liar ? theresa : [ scoffs ] damn daniel and jennifer . you know , it 's their fault that everyone in this town thinks ... anne : in this town knows the truth about you ? theresa : [ sighs ] anne : look , i mean , okay , those two -- they ruin everything for everybody , do n't they ? hey , have you thought about cutting your losses ? theresa : my losses ? anne : yeah . yeah , you got a spiffy new purse from brady , you had a whole lot of fun , but it 's not like you 're in love with the guy . theresa : [ scoffs ] well , yeah . no , of course not . anne : right . theresa : [ sniffles ] uh ... brady is a pretty big catch , though . anne : yeah . theresa : and it would be a shame to throw that fish back into the sea before i , you know , squeeze a little more out of him . anne : i can only imagine what that would be . theresa : [ chuckles ] rafe : no . what 's going on with me and jordan has nothing to do with ej and sami . do i think that she 's making the mistake of her life marrying the s.o.b . ? yes . but it 's not because i still have feelings for her . it 's just that ... i do n't want to see her or those kids get hurt . abe : well , i understand . whatever 's going on with you and jordan ... [ laughs ] rafe : what ? abe : you know , i wish you had seen the look on your face when you first saw her in that dress she wore to will and sonny 's wedding . that was ... rafe : oh , well , yeah . abe : that was the look of a man in love . rafe : yeah , well ... abe : i hope it works out for you . rafe : thanks . jordan : i would be putting rafe in such a terrible position if i told him everything . [ scoffs ] if he knew what i did ... ben : you were only trying to protect me . jordan : and myself . ben : what other choice did you have ? jordan : it 's too dangerous , not just for you and me , but for rafe too . ben : jordan , rafe knows you , and he cares about you . and if you do n't tell him the truth , you 're gon na lose him . you love him , jordan . i have never seen you happier than when you 're with him . jordan : i do love him , which is why i can not drag him into my mess . [ sighs ] i have to protect you both . ben : i do not want you worrying about me . jordan : maybe it 's time that i accept that rafe and i just were n't meant to be together . jj : thanks for the offer , man , but i 'd rather stay here . rory : seriously , dude ? bev : do n't bother , rory . let 's get out of here and have some real fun . paige : [ sighs ] jj : thank you . paige : for what ? jj : for saving me from all that . i do n't want to dis rory and -- they were good friends until bev ... anyway , i 'm over that scene , and i would much rather be with you . paige : even when we 're debating ? jj : can we call a truce ? paige : [ chuckles ] jj : and seriously , paige , i did not mean to sound like i was blaming everything on your mom . paige : me neither . i ca n't even believe we were arguing about our moms . whatever happened or did n't happen between them , it was ages ago . jj : you 're right . and for all we know , they 're probably having cocktails and laughing about old times . eve : you know , i think i believed in jack more than he believed in himself . i did . i mean , i really believed that he was so talented and had it in him to write something brilliant and profitable . you know , jenn , i understand that a movie studio is negotiating for the rights to make a film . jennifer : no , eve , please . listen to me . you do n't understand at all . this book was a labor of love for jack , and the proceeds -- they do n't go to me or my children . after everything that he went through , he wanted to make sure that all of the proceeds go to military veterans . and even though he was n't alive to see his book in print , i am telling you , i am gon na make sure that his wish is fulfilled . and i 'm sure that whatever claim you think that you have , even you could n't be hard - hearted enough to take the money from men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to protect us . eve : oh , jenn . jennifer : eve , please . eve : oh , no , listen ... do n't get me wrong . i love vets . i mean , who does n't love a man in uniform , right ? and i donate to them all the time . jennifer : [ sighs ] eve : jenn , you can do whatever you want with your half . but my half -- it 's mine . jennifer : are you serious right now ? eve : it 's what jack wanted . it 's all right here . it 's ironclad , and if you have any questions , you can contact the attorney . his address is right there . jennifer : you know what ? i 'm going to contact your attorney ! eve : go right ahead and do it . jennifer : and i 'm going to because this is not what jack would have wanted . and i am telling you right now , he never even gave you a thought all those years . i - i ca n't even think that ... that you deserve -- are you kidding me ? you are still the same person that you always were . you are a conniving witch , who thinks that you are entitled to something for nothing . man : hey . brady , is it ? brady : yeah . man : hey , i 'm glad you came and shared tonight , man . i hope we see you again . brady : thanks . honestly , i 'm not sure . look , i , uh -- i 've been down this road a couple times , man , and i ... i used to get inspired by these meetings , and now i just -- i do n't know if they 're for me . man : can i convince you to give it another try ? brady : i should , actually , but ... hell , probab -- yeah . i will , i will . man : good . good . i 'll see you soon . brady : all right . [ sniffs ] theresa : ugh . [ sniffles ] [ door closes ] theresa : oh .

[ cell phone rings ] kate : but do n't give up . he needs your help . jordan : excuse me , kate . i have to go . kate : uh ... [ sighs ] theresa : [ chuckles ] oh , did you come back here to gloat ? john : no . i left my credit card with the waiter . theresa : oh . well , just so you know , brady did n't stand me up . he probably never even got my text . john : actually , he 's trying to get his life together . theresa : what do you mean ? do you know where he is ? w - when you say that he 's trying to get his life back together , do you mean he went to a meeting ? oh , my god . you -- you sent him there , did n't you ? god , you 're really trying to break us up , huh ? john : you know how i feel about your relationship with my son . and if you 're not happy that he 's finally getting some help , then i 've been right about you . you 're selfish , you 're destructive , and i just thank god that it wo n't be long before brady is sober enough to see you for who you are . [ door slams ] brady : get away from her ! theresa : hey . [ sighs ] jj : what 's going on ? eve : well , your mother and i were just doing a little catch - up . but , you know , as much as i hate to cut this short , jennifer , my daughter paige and i have a big day tomorrow , do n't we ? paige : uh , i 'll talk to you later . eve : yes , we 'll see you at the graduation . and , jennifer ... jennifer ? i 'm sure we 'll be seeing plenty of each other . paige : uh , thanks again for having us over . eve : okay , bye - bye . come on , sweetheart . jennifer : [ sighs ] jj : mom , what happened ? go ahead , run in the halls , put your feet on the furniture , john : i 'm just trying to explain to the young lady here -- brady : no , you were trying to berate and pressure her into leaving me . it 's the same tune , it 's a different day . when are you gon na learn that you ca n't run my life , huh ? john : not trying to do that , son . theresa : you know , your dad was just telling me that you went to a meeting and that he did n't feel like i had your best interests at heart . but , look , brady , if that 's what you want to do , then of course i support you . brady : thank you . i ca n't believe maggie told you . john : well , she did n't . i just happened to overhear her leaving you a message . brady : well , you can report back to maggie that the meeting was a complete waste of time . john : why the hell would you say that ? brady : because , dad , meetings do n't do anything for me , okay ? they 're not for me . they do n't work . john : no , come on , son , do n't even -- son , do n't do -- son , do n't do this . brady : bye - bye . maggie : ben , could i get two bags of your esmeralda special ? ben : for mr. kiriakis ? maggie : yes . ben : i 'll be right back . maggie : thanks . [ humming ] kate : hello , maggie . maggie : hello , kate . how are you ? kate : very well , actually . i 'm sure that 's a shock . you 're probably here celebrating over an exotic brew of coffee because victor fired me . maggie : hardly . though , i admit , i 'm not exactly distraught . kate : well , when victor finds out that it was ej and sami who set me up , i 'm sure he 'll be begging me to come back , but please tell him to save his breath , because i wo n't be needing him anymore . maggie : why ? because you 're getting back into bed with the dashing stefano dimera ? kate : would you be relieved by that ? then you would n't have to worry about my intimate relationship with victor anymore . maggie : trust me , kate . i was never worried . rafe : hi . [ chuckles ] thanks for coming . jordan : you said you wanted to talk . rafe : yeah . i miss you . i miss you -- i miss you so damn much , i ca n't stand it . eve : wow . we never had a place like this when i was growing up here in salem . sweetheart , i 've missed you so much . i love spending time with you . paige : mom , when are you gon na get around to explaining what jj and i walked in on ? eve : okay . here 's the truth . jenn and i never actually ever got along . paige : yeah , i kind of figured that out . eve : okay . paige : jj thinks it 's because you both liked the same guy . eve : well , there was ... well , there 's that , and then , um , a long time ago ... i was actually married to jj 's dad . paige : what ? eve : mm - hmm . [ clears throat ] paige : are you serious ? how could you not mention that to me before we showed up on their doorstep for dinner ? eve : i know , i know , i know . i did not handle that very well . paige : [ sighs ] eve : but listen , i was in shock . paige : you think ? [ sighs ] eve : listen , i was in shock when you told me jj 's last name , and we were on our way over there , sweetheart , so -- paige : how long were you married ? eve : not very long . not very long at all . we both realized it was a huge mistake , and we were able to get it annulled , because , you know , we never really actually , you know , did it . paige : oh , am i actually having this conversation with my mother ? eve : but i tell you what , jennifer is still resentful . no , she is resentful . paige : [ sighs ] eve : and i think especially now that she knows that jj 's father has left us this -- this wonderful gift for you and me . and it 's something , sweetheart , that 's gon na change our life forever . jennifer : it was , uh ... it was nothing , really . jj : nothing ? you were just fighting with my girlfriend 's mom . was -- was it about me ? jennifer : no . no . i mean , as you could tell , eve and i have a pretty complicated relationship . jj : she was that girl you were talking about when we found your yearbook , huh -- the one that was trying to steal your boyfriend ? jennifer : yeah . she 's the one . jj : so you were fighting about that ? jennifer : no .

[ exhales deeply ] look , mom , i know that you want what 's best for me , but i want what 's best for my kid , too , and i think that that means that tate and i need to be with brady . nicole : your cousin xander tried to kill us last night . brady : i know . i was there . nicole : you were ? eric : you do n't remember ? nicole : oh , yeah , yeah . i mean , daniel did say something about it , but i - i do n't know how you knew we were in trouble . but thank you . eric : yeah , thank you . brady : it 's not -- no need -- no need to thank me . as a matter of fact , it was -- it was daniel who realized you were missing , and he also brought you back when you stopped breathing . eric : brady , you 're taking tate home , right ? brady : yeah , yeah . he 's coming home . nicole : that 's awesome . eric : yeah , we do n't want to keep you . thanks for coming and checking on us . nicole : yeah , but we 're -- we 're fine , really . brady : okay , okay . no , no , it 's not okay because i know you two too well . if you 're so fine , why do you look so upset ? abe : anything new on xander cook ? roman : nope . i 'm coming up empty . abe : you know , i was hoping serena could help us , but she still is n't talking . serena : i told you i would help you if i could . abe : daniel , and nicole , and eric have told us that serena was involved with xander 's illegal activities in africa . so maybe we could even offer a deal , eh ? serena : i want my lawyer . roman : serena , listen to me . look , i know you 're scared . and i 'm sure you did n't mean for any of this to happen . but your lawyer 's going to walk through that door and tell you not to talk to us . but we need to know what you know to keep both you and eric safe . serena : 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 -- 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 . [ tense music ] xander : [ heavy breathing ] victor : [ speaking greek ] just stay there . you know , your father begged me for help so many times . eventually i had no choice but to ... refuse him . and he died . i ca n't say i have any remorse over the fact that i might have prevented his death . but with age comes the understanding that ... mercy is not weakness . so perhaps i can give you one last chance . only because you 're family , and i suppose you might prove useful one day , assuming that your latest misstep ... taught you your place . xander : uncle victor -- victor : just do n't thank me yet . i said perhaps . your fate is far from decided . theresa : yes , mom . yes , mom . yeah , i 'll call . okay . yes , mom , okay , bye . god . now , i really should be nicer , i guess . if it was n't for my mom wanting me and tate to move in with her , shudder ... anne : [ chuckles ] theresa : bitch melanie would still be around distracting brady from everything that 's important . anne : your child ? theresa : and me . anne : you know , i do n't think it 's possible for him to be distracted from despising you . theresa : you know , i think i should just get to the hospital . anne : okay . i do n't suppose you 're thinking of picking up any of that work you 've been neglecting these past many weeks ? theresa : no , anne , i do n't . because i 'm gon na pick up my son today and that 's all i 'm going to focus on , okay ? anne : okay . [ exhales deeply ] theresa : [ exhales sharply ] nicole : well , um , the guy who tried to kill us last night is still at large . eric : yeah , the whole near - death - experience can be kind of ... upsetting . brady : no , no , i realize that , i just -- you both seem -- maxine : eric brady . you know you 're not supposed to be out of bed . now get back to your room before i have to carry you there . brady : i would listen to her if i were you . eric : yes , ma'am . i just needed to see with my own eyes that ... nicole , i 'm glad to see you 're all right . nicole : back at ya . eric : see you around . maxine : ahem . brady : what you and eric went through together ... nicole , it 's almost impossible to believe . nicole : yeah . almost . abe : well , we are obviously not getting anywhere here , so i 'm going to follow up on the information we already have . roman : okay , serena , your lawyer will be here soon . serena : there 's one thing i want to say before she gets here . i love eric . more than i can say . no matter what he thinks , or what he 's told you . i did come to salem with an ulterior motive , but when i fell in love with him again , i did everything i could ... so that he did n't get hurt . roman : but he did , did n't he ? did n't he , serena ? and a lot of that blame goes straight to you . abe : serena , your feelings for eric are immaterial here . what matters is what happened . eric and nicole almost died . and we 're building a solid case against you and xander cook for attempted murder . victor : police are gathering evidence even as we speak . because you were stupid enough to target roman brady 's son . they 'll be uncommonly motivated to bury you . if for some reason they fail and you become a free man again , things will change . shall i go on ? xander : please . victor : your generous compensation package and the titles you so cherish , your position on the board of the charity that you used to run , all those things will be stripped from you . your life will be quite different . perhaps eventually , best case scenario , you 'll be a servant in my home . maybe for a long time . you will , uh , have your life . and you 'll be grateful for it . now get up . xander : [ speaking greek ] victor : make no mistake , alexandros . i 've just shown you the limits of my affection . the rest is up to you . sonny : it 's no secret how my uncle vic feels about your family . chad : and me . he does n't like me , or trust me , and i obviously feel the same way about him . sonny : he still supports our business . chad : how ? sonny : he drinks our coffee . i 'm pretty sure we can survive your dad being back in town , too . chad : you know , i just -- i wanted you to be one of the first people to know , so ... sonny : well , are you happy he 's back , or not ? chad : i do n't know . i have n't figured it out yet . look , i got ta -- i got ta get going . and will you do -- do me a favor ? give will a message for me . sonny : sure . chad : that article he 's pushing zoe to run is really important to him . tell him , you know , i 'll make it happen . he just has to say the word . sonny : wait , what -- what article ? will : dr. myers is n't going to say anything . the man has a huge ego . and what he wants is for everyone to read about how wonderful he is . kate : i do n't know . is it really worth the risk of alienating sonny if he finds out what you 're doing ? why ca n't you just trust the process ? will : but if i can guide the process along , then why should n't i ? i will do anything to steer our therapy in the right direction , so that sonny and i stay together . that 's what sonny wants , too . kate : i 'm happy to hear that . will : if only paul was n't just trying to screw everything up for us . kate : okay , look . you really need to know that the odds are good that he is going to accept the endorsement deal from mad world . sorry , but ... will : it 's not your fault . kate : so , not only will he be staying in salem , he 'll also be getting some positive press , especially when the work gets out that he 's donating his entire salary to charity . will : well , saint paul he is not . and i think i know exactly how to deal with him . chad : the article 's about some , i do n't know , therapist . zoe did n't think it was worth pursuing , but will is pushing really hard . i do n't know , he must think that there 's a great story there somewhere . sonny : was it about a dr. myers , by any chance ? chad : i think that 's the name . yeah . kate : okay , well , i need to get going . will : wait . do n't you want to hear what i 'm thinking ? kate : that 's exactly why i 'm leaving . will : okay , hear me out . do you think you could maybe arrange so -- so that paul does most of his work at one of the other divisions , like seattle , or hou -- houston . kate : well , someone 's been doing their research . will : grandma , please help me . kate : honey , all i want to do is help you . all right ? let me think about it . will : and you 'll talk to the -- your -- your editor guy about publishing my profile on dr. myers ? kate : yes , yes . i 'm going to do my best . will : [ exhales deeply ] thank you . i love you . kate : i love you , too . will : see you soon . sonny : when did zoe mention this article ? chad : earlier last week . and last night . why ? sonny : just wondering . chad : well , zoe 's still not convinced , but i 'm her boss , so if will wants to pursue that piece , then i 'll make it happen . sonny : i 'll tell him . chad : all right . see you later . sonny : [ exhales deeply ] hey , corey . would you mind cleaning this up and covering for me ? corey : sure . sonny : i might be go a while . corey : okay . roman : [ exhales sharply ] all right , serena , is there anything else you 'd like to say to me to get xander off the streets and keep eric and the rest of us safe ? serena : believe me , that is the only thing i can think about . [ phone ringing ] roman : brady here . yeah , okay . i 'll be right there . i 'll be right back . and do n't you think about going anywhere . serena : do n't worry . eric : [ exhales deeply ] i promise to be a model patient from now on . maxine : i 'm not worried about that . besides , you might not be here much longer . your aunt kayla 's looking forward to discharging you if your latest test results look good . eric : that 's excellent . maxine : oh , and your mother dropped off a new phone for you . eric : [ chuckles ] wow . maxine : [ chuckles ] you have a lot of good people looking out for you . now , you do right by them and take good care of yourself , you hear me ? eric : i do , and i will . thank you . [ phone ringing ] dad ? serena : eric , it 's me . eric : why are you calling from my dad 's phone ? serena : i knew that you would n't pick up if you thought it was me . eric : you 're right . good - bye . serena : eric , eric , wait . look , i -- i 'm not calling to make up excuses or try to convince you that i really do care , but because i do , you need to know one thing . as long as xander is still out there , your life is on the line . victor : you understand i wo n't lift a finger to help you with the legal mess you 've gotten yourself into . not to mention what serena mason is going to tell the authorities . now , nicole 's testimony can be laughed out of court . but people will have a harder time not believing roman brady 's son , a former priest . uh , i hear you made quite a shambles of the tv station last night . need i remind you who owns titan tv ? do n't look so smug . i 'm aware of the lengths that you and your accomplice went to to destroy all the physical evidence against you . but you may yet find yourself in another prison cell . and if you do , rest assured , no one is going to come to your rescue . you 're going to be there for a very long time . nicole : i am an idiot . brady : [ chuckles ] nicole : i mean , i - i knew xander was bad news . i just did n't know how bad or how crazy . he enjoyed torturing us . i heard it in his voice , brady . brady : he 's -- he 's a bad guy . he 's bad news , but , um , you are safe now . they 've upped security here at the hospital , and there 's some extra guards walking around to keep an eye on you and eric . nicole : and daniel , too , right ? 'cause i hate that i involved him in this . brady : no , no , no . you -- daniel ... [ chuckles ] daniel was extremely worried about you . i wanted you to know that . i kinda like the fact that my two best friends have found their way together . nicole : [ chuckles ] i love daniel so much . and i just really do n't want to hurt him . brady : i 'm sure you wo n't . nicole : [ chuckles ] brady : i 'm positive . nicole : yeah . brady : well , i got some business to do . uh , i have to go sign tate 's discharge papers . he 's outta here , so ... nicole : aww , yay . brady : ah , good . nicole : congratulations . i knew you would make a great dad . brady : i 'm trying . nicole : [ chuckles ] listen , i have a gift for tate , and i am going to bring it by very soon . brady : i will look forward to introducing him to his aunt nic .

[ dramatic music ] nicole : look , i appreciate you trying to make our working relationship not feel so awkward , but no matter how hard you try , it feels awkward , okay ? it 's just awkward . and i think the best way to handle moving forward from here is to not talk about anything other than work . no small talk , and nothing personal . eric : i got it .

jennifer , `` the spectator `` is yours and mine . i really just want to keep it that way . anjelica : adrienne . jennifer . long time , no see . anjelica : ladies , let me guess : you were just talking about me . adrienne : anjelica , yes , we were just saying how much we missed you , how much it would brighten our lives immeasurably if you would pop back into salem , and with serendipity , you appeared right at that moment . jenn : mm , love when that happens . adrienne : me too . anjelica : oh , and i love that you two have n't lost your senses of humor . adrienne : okay . here 's what 's not funny : your pathetic need for revenge after all these years . i mean , come on , anjelica , have you never heard of forgiveness ? that it 's good for the soul ? that you can live longer and be happier if you 're not vindictive and evil , mired in spite and malice , spewing venom ? jenn : yes , have you never heard the quote that forgiveness is the virtue of the brave ? anjelica : god , ladies , we have n't seen each other in years , and you 're already dragging out the vapid bartlett 's quotes ? adrienne : okay , seriously , can you please just be civilized for once in your life , and just leave the past in the past ? anjelica : adrienne , this has nothing to do with the past . this is all about the present . jenn : what does that mean ? anjelica : well , that means that i 'm calling in the loan . your loan . immediately . adrienne : [ sighs ] [ suspenseful music ] kayla : a sex tape ? is there nothing that you wo n't stoop to ? jade : i was trying to help a friend . kayla : help a friend ? and a sex tape helps a friend how ? do you have any idea what kind of damage this sort of thing can do to somebody ? jade : we were having a private conversation -- kayla : and what ? and what ? nothing excuses what you have just done to your supposed friends . jade : really ? so nothing can excuse my making a sex tape , but joey murdering a woman in cold blood is a - okay with you ? kayla : this is not the time or the place to discuss that , jade . joey : mom , mom . let 's go talk over here , okay ? kayla : joey ... joey , this situation with jade is getting worse and worse . and more and more frightening , that she would just spout off about ava right here . joey : look , she 's never said anything about it to anybody . and she never will . kayla : really ? joey , she is a loose cannon , not to mention that she does n't seem to know the difference between right and wrong . joey : mom , it 's not like that . kayla : is n't it ? every time i turn around , there is jade . she is just desperate for your attention , and it is not healthy for her or for you . it 's not what you want . you know that . and what happens when she knows that ? i am telling you right now that that girl is not someone who 's gon na go quietly into the dark . you have got to realize that she can turn on you at any minute . listen to me . she could ruin your life forever . joey : jade is not going to tell anyone . she promised me she would n't . and i believe her . kayla : why would you believe one word out of her mouth ? she is a pathological liar . joey : no , she 's not . look , i know she 's done some awful things , but jade is my friend , and right now , the person upsetting her is you , because she thinks you hate her . kayla : joey , i do n't hate her . i think that she is a very troubled girl . joey : i think she is too , but she 's not ever deliberately mean . so please , have enough faith in me to let me handle this on my own . kayla : joey , i have faith in you , i have faith in you , i just think that sometimes you can be a little naive . joey : okay , look , i respect your opinion , but jade is my problem , so i 'm the one who needs to deal with her . kayla : okay . okay , joey . joey : thank you . [ dramatic music ] jade : that woman does n't know when to stop . joey : that woman is my mom . jade : and clearly , she 's trying to turn you against me . thank god it did n't work . i mean , you just proved that . you get me , joey . you totally get me . joey : jade , i ... jade : please , can you just let me finish ? you 're the only person who 's shown any understanding at all . the only one who gets that what i did with that video , it was n't meant to be a bad thing . my god , it was not that big of a deal . joey : i never said it was n't that big of a deal . you stole a hotel key , broke into a room , set up a video camera , filmed two of your friends having sex , all without their consent . jade : i only did it to help claire . she was losing followers by the minute . this video , it would have shot her to the top -- joey : top ? top of the what ? certainly not the music charts . which is what she wanted . sure did n't help theo . jade : i did n't post it , joey . i handed the only copy over to claire -- joey : look , that does n't make it right , okay ? and maybe that 's the bigger problem : you do these things that are hurtful and stupid , then you think people are ganging up on you when they call you on it . jade : people are doing more than calling me on it , joey . they 're attacking me . they 're treating me like i 'm some kind of lowlife , like i 'm some worthless , disgusting person . why are you looking at me like that ? joey : maybe you should talk to someone , jade . jade : that 's what i 'm doing right now , i 'm talking to you . joey : no , i mean , like , to a professional . jade : is that what you want me to do ? will that make you respect me ? joey : i think you should do it , jade . jade : okay , then i 'll do it . for you . [ soft music ] nicole : stop it ! please . eric : never seemed to bother you when we worked together at the rectory . i did n't know it bothered you . nicole : yeah , the tap , tap , tap , tap , tapping ? yeah . it bothers me , okay ? can you please just put the pen down ? [ phone ringing ] eric : hello . hey , mom . she does ? really ? julie ... oh , my god . of course , that 's amazing . i mean , that 's ... at the martin house . that 's such a godsend . are you kidding me ? of course . absolutely , we 'll be able to find new sponsors for the horton center , yes . mom , thank you . [ sighs ] so , i think you should know . nicole : what ? is there a problem ? eric : yes , with the horton center funding , there is . you know , given our current deficit , you know , we may not be able to remain open at the end of the fiscal year . nicole : oh , no . that 's awful . eric : no , i think we may have found a solution . we 're gon na spread awareness of the center at the martin house party . nicole : oh , so you mean you 're gon na launch a campaign at a party ? eric : yes , that 's what i mean . nicole : well , that 's all well and done , and a drop in the bucket . you know , you just need to dig deeper , cast a wider net . there 's lots of different ways you could jumpstart a fundraiser and get some more money . i 'll make some calls . eric : may i help you ? jade : i do n't know . i need to talk to a counselor or someone . is this the right place ? eric : yes , it is . i 'm the counselor on duty . i 'm free to talk if you want to talk now . jenn : you ca n't do that . anjelica : well , i can , and i will . jenn : have you even thought about how jack would react to you doing this ? anjelica : invoking jack 's name here is not gon na slow the wheels of progress . and besides , jack would be the first to understand why i 'm calling in the loan . jenn : [ laughs ] anjelica : no , no , this is business , ladies . it 's not personal . adrienne : oh ! oh , the hell it is n't ! anjelica , this is all about you and how much you hate me . you hate me because of justin , and you hate me even more now because of alexander . anjelica : you know , my son is no concern of yours . adrienne : oh ... anjelica : and besides , i do n't hate anyone , adrienne . that is not who i am . jenn : not who you are ? that is exactly who you are . have you even thought about our employees , that you would be ruining their lives if you call this loan ? anjelica : again , this is just business . now , ladies , this is how the real world works . both : [ laugh ] adrienne : there is nothing real about you . in fact , you used a fake name and a fake corporation to try to take our paper away . you know what ? anjelica , be warned . you 're looking for a fight , and you 're gon na get one . and you 're going down in flames . tripp : okay , okay , okay . security code . uh ... kayla , steve , joey ... let 's start with brother 's birthday . bingo . okay . mr. sherman , let 's look at your chart , shall we ? yeah . just gon na up your dosage . morphine , 10 % over the limit . and ... save . oh , this is tragic . dr. johnson has made a very fatal mistake . kayla : ah , tripp . you 're still here . tripp : uh , yeah , i got tied up on a call , and now i 'm late . are you okay ? kayla : yeah , yeah , i 'm okay . but is it all right if we have that talk at a later time ? the one about the mcats . tripp : right , right . yeah , no problem . kayla : yeah , great . tripp : i got to go . kayla : okay . jade : you 're eric brady . joey 's cousin , right ? eric : yes . how do you know joey ? jade : i 'm jade . his ex . eric : i 'm sorry . it 's nice to finally meet you . jade : yeah , you too . i 'm actually only here because of joey . i made him a promise , and i 'm trying to be a better person by following through . so ... can we talk ? eric : of course . what do you want to talk about ? claire : theo . hi . theo : hey , um , you 're on your break , right ? claire : uh , yeah . theo : okay , so , could we talk somewhere privately ? claire : sure . theo : um ... all right , claire , look . i 've been doing a lot of thinking , and ... i think that sometimes , when boyfriends and girlfriends are different , it can be a good thing -- claire : mm - hmm . theo : you know , it can make the relationship better . claire : yeah , i agree . i do , i think that it can make things really interesting , and open your eyes to stuff that you never really thought about . theo : well , what i was gon na say is that sometimes , when people are different , and do n't have a lot in common , when they 're together , it can be good , but , um ... also , it can be bad . claire : bad ? how ? theo : it can make people angry at each other . you know , it makes them , um , not a good match . like us . claire : are you breaking up with me ? theo : yeah . yeah , i am . claire : so that 's it ? we 're done ? what are you gon na do now , theo ? are you gon na call ciara ? tell her that we 're over , so that you two can hook up ? theo : look , this is n't about ciara , claire . this is about us . all right , and look , i do n't want to hurt you , it 's just that i do n't think this is gon na work between us . claire : okay . okay . fine , whatever . jade : where do i begin ? eric : wherever you 'd like . jade : okay . well ... i was trying to help my friend get her career kick - started with a sex tape . it 's all kinds of normal in hollywood . i read about it all the time in magazines . i mean , a lot of people get rich and famous just from making a sex tape . eric : did your friend consent to the taping ? jade : well ... no . but i really thought that when she saw it , she would be grateful . eric : but she ... jade : when she saw it , she was furious . i mean , you would have thought that i 'd stolen her boyfriend or something . eric : did it occur to you that you were violating someone 's privacy ? jade : no , it did n't . i just thought it was sex between two consenting adults , which you see all the time on the internet and on tv . i mean , have you ever seen that show , `` masters of sex `` ? eric : no . jade : and some of those scenes , they do just about everything . and in lots of other shows too , and in movies . you 'd think people would be used to it by now , right ? anyway , now everyone is super mad at me , including kayla . acting like i killed someone or something . eric : jade , i want you to put yourself in your friend 's shoes . how would that make you feel if someone did the same thing to you ? recorded you when you were having something very meaningful and private with someone else ? jade : i guess i might not be cool with it . but it would depend on why they did it . i mean , if they did it to help me like i did for claire , then ... look , the video never even went public . eric : well , it seems to me , in spite of whatever 's on the tv , or movies , or all over the internet , it 's a lot of graphic sex , which ... well , is sad . because the true meaning of what sex is something that is a very private and intimate expression of love between two people . jade : think i do n't know that ? eric : well , if you did , then why would you make the tape ? jade : okay , i get it . i 'm an idiot . and now , joey thinks i 'm a bad person , and all i want is for joey to love me like i love him . eric : jade , what i think you need to do right now is try to focus on yourself more than trying to put all your energy into making joey love you . it 's about you . feeling respect . feeling love . and loving yourself . jade : well , how do i do that ? eric : by trying to set goals . trying to figure out what you want in your life . what is it that makes you who you are , make you feel great about yourself , rather than needing the love of somebody else to make you feel okay ?

[ sighs ] i love you , baby . [ scene_break ] nicole : so case closed ? rafe : [ chuckles ] unfortunately , since the bullets came into our possession illegally , there 's nothing much we can do with them . nicole : well , maybe not in court , but it proves that ej had intent , right ? roman : not necessarily , no . as of right now , we 've got nothing that links these bullets to the murder . rafe : well , but we know that there is a link . we just have to figure out what it is . nicole : okay , you do believe that ej is guilty , do n't you ? rafe : well , i know that ej is hiding something . and i 'm not gon na stop till i find out what it is . | john and marlena were with abe as he was preparing for lexie 's memorial . abe was n't ready to say goodbye . brady confronted ian and thought he was the one who was drugging him . ian denied the accusation , but brady did n't believe him . they continued to argue about whether ian drugged brady . roman showed up at the police station and told agent spencer and rafe that he might be able to get a search warrant from an old friend so they can go after ej . nicole found bullets in ej 's apartment and had to hurry up and hide them because ej was back from the pub . she narrowly escaped being caught with the bullets . ej thought she was acting strange and hiding something . nicole denied hiding anything . ej wondered why she was acting so nervous . abe talked to marlena and john about lexie . he did n't know who he would be without her . brady thought that ian was drugging him because he 's with madison . ian let him know that he could n't be happier for them . ian also told brady that he would get pleasure watching him screw up the relationship . rafe hoped that roman 's friend will get the warrant . roman was confident that they could get it . agent spencer wanted to focus on the other suspects too . rafe was convinced that ej 's their man . agent spencer warned rafe that just because he hates ej that does n't mean that he 's guilty . john and marlena were in abe 's garden and they talked about what abe 's going through . watching abe go through everything with lexie made john remember when he lost marlena the first time . he told her how he had to put on a happy face for the kids . marlena said that they always find their way back to each other . ej and nicole talked about when she was pregnant the first time . they were happy to stroll down memory lane . nicole felt the baby kicking and they bonded over it . rafe did n't like that agent spencer assumed that he was n't being objective . agent spencer said he did n't think rafe was able to be objective . they continued to go back and forth about rafe 's objectivity until roman ended it . roman thought that ej was their main suspect , but they should n't forget about the other suspects . |

[ laughs softly ] how did you learn how to cook like that ? stefan : well , i did n't grow up in a mansion with a staff . i made my own way , and i taught myself how to cook -- mostly to impress the ladies , but still . gabi : well , it worked . that was amazing , and these , by the way , look fantastic . stefan : oh , yeah . parker and holly loved them . i used to sneak them to them every time chloe was n't looking . gabi : you really miss them . stefan : yeah , every day . still , every time i think about holly , it 's -- it 's so hard to process . gabi : i know . stefan : you know , i even had a slide installed in the pool ...

[ scene_break ] nicole : you swore to me that earl would n't be a threat . crystal : i did n't think he was , but seeing him tonight really shook me up . nicole : all right . this guy earl -- was he with john or brady ? crystal : he was alone at the bar . nicole : did he see you ? crystal : no . nicole : well , how about john or brady ? did they see you ? crystal : i did n't see them , so , no , i do n't think so . nicole : all right . maybe -- maybe we 're all right then . crystal : well , the cops already know that earl was locked up with me when marlena was shot . they have his statement , and there 's no reason to believe that they did n't buy it . nicole : maybe , but -- crystal : but what ? nicole : you have to make sure you do n't go anywhere near that guard again . and i know the perfect way to guarantee it . [ scene_break ] marlena : and , gee , under any other circumstances , this place would be paradise . roman : yeah . but to those of us who 've been here for a while , it 's a living hell . the worst part is , is knowing the ones we left behind are grieving for us and struggling to get on with their own lives . marlena : for me , it 's the humiliation , the shame my family must be feeling because of what they think i did . i do n't know if they 'll ever be happy again . roman : yeah . you know , doc , i mean , god knows i -- i want kate to be happy . i - i know you want the same thing for john . abe wants the same thing for lexie . but ... tell me something , what if we get off this island -- what if we get off this island only to discover that the ones we love have moved on without us ? now , what 's the psychiatrist in you say about that ? marlena : you really want to know ? roman : yes . yes , i do . marlena : well , here 's what the textbook says . obviously , you will always mourn the loss of the departed mate , but the mind and the heart have an amazing capacity to heal and recuperate . and you ca n't live in grief and mourning forever , so ... so in order to survive , one tends to try to remember the loved one , but to fill that void with ... a love just as strong . roman : well , that 's why we ca n't waste any time . abe and i have been working on an escape plan ever since we got here . marlena : do you have ideas ? any thoughts on it ? roman : well , we have suspected for a while that our actions are being monitored . for all we know , our houses are bugged , there are hidden surveillance cameras all around , and there are probably people following us around .

the only thing that has changed is you 've stopped lying about how you feel about my wife . shawn d. : i wanted to tell you the truth from the beginning . the only reason i did n't was out of respect for belle -- she was worried about how you 'd take it . philip : i 'm glad it 's out in the open . i 'm a man . i can handle another man after my wife . shawn d. : and i 'm glad that 's how you feel . philip : the question is ... belle ... how do you feel ?

chelsea : well , actually ... abby : you what ? frankie : let 's have it . what happened ? why did it take so long to get ice cream ? max : i told you . there was traffic . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm frankie : come on . max ... i hope nothing sexual happened with that girl , because if it did , you could get yourself in serious trouble . max : okay , look . chelsea 's not a girl . she 's 18 . and besides , nothing happened . really . frankie : yeah , right . come on . we both know that you are the `` love 'em and leave 'em `` type . max : oh , where do you think i got that , huh ? you loved jennifer , and then you left her , right ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm jack : i knew i was right about lockhart . frankie was suspicious of him the moment he met him . jennifer : wait a minute . frankie said that his name sounded familiar . jack : exactly . frankie works with the criminal element . i think it 's obvious . in fact , he 's the key . frankie 's gon na help me nail lockhart for good . jennifer : it does n't matter . patrick 's gone . his stuff is out of the garage . just let it go . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm patrick : [ sighs ] voice mail . mom , how come nobody told me mimi was being sentenced today ? we ca n't let her go to prison . she 'll never survive statesville . we have to do something to help save her . call me . mimi : you have to go , rex . i 'm a lost cause , okay ? do n't waste your time on me . find another woman to love and to have a family with . you deserve it . rex : mimi , you 're the only woman i 'll ever love . come here . mimi : [ sniffles ] i could never forget how much i love you , okay ? mimi : i love you , too . it 's over , meems . that 's the last time you will ever see rex again . mimi : [ exhales ] come on , mimi . get a grip . you can do this . excuse me , guard . guard ? guard : what is it ? mimi : um , is there any way i can refuse to see a visitor ? guard : it 's your choice who you see or do n't see . mimi : okay . so if i give you a name , then that person will never be able to s - see me in jail , e - ever ? guard : that 's what i said . mimi : okay . can you please put rex brady 's name on the list ? rex : i do n't care what you say , mimi . i 'm not giving up on you . i know you 're innocent , and i 'm gon na prove it . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [ knock on door ] rex : patrick . patrick : rex . hey , man , i ca n't find my mom , so i thought i 'd ask you . what the hell is going on with mimi ? why has n't anybody told me about her sentencing getting moved up ? rex : i thought your mom would have told you . but it does n't surprise me that she did n't . mimi did n't want anyone to show up to her sentencing , not even me . patrick : what is going on with her , man ? rex : i do n't know . i wish i knew -- it 's like she 's totally given up . she was sentenced with a maximum of 15 to 20 years , and she 's refusing to appeal . patrick : oh , god . rex : look , come on in . patrick , i know mimi 's innocent , but she wo n't defend herself . she wo n't fight . patrick : fine . then we 'll fight for her . rex : that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . you know what ? why do n't we work together on this ? we need to do whatever it takes to save mimi . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm philip : belle ... you know where shawn and i stand . how do you feel ? who do you want to spend the rest of your life with ? i know that we 're putting you on the spot here , sweetheart . and i 'm sorry . but before you make your decision , there 's something i have to say to you . philip : [ clears throat ] i love you , belle . but we both know i 'm not the same man that you married . belle : of course you are , philip . and i meant it when i said i loved you . philip : i know you did . i know you did . but the man you said that to is not the man that 's sitting here now . i lost my leg . it 's gone . and i 'm not gon na be able to do all the things that i promised you i would do . your life is never going to be the same if you choose to stay with me . but ... i 'll promise you one thing . i promise i will love you just as much , if not more . i will always love you . so the real question is ... can you love me as i am now ? or would you rather be free to be with shawn ? philip : belle , i do n't want you to think about my feelings . and i do n't want you to think about shawn 's . this is about what you want . shawn came here all the way from home so he could be with you . and i know he has a lot of qualities that a woman would want . and he was your first love . shawn , i want you to know that i never would have tried to come between the two of you if i thought you were still together . i asked belle to marry me because i thought you did n't love her anymore . the truth is that i loved belle for a long time , but i kept that love hidden out of respect for your relationship . and then when you disappeared all summer and came back engaged to jan spears , i figured it was time to tell her how i feel . shawn d. : look , i never stopped loving her . what happened with jan was very complicated . i had amnesia , and she was trying to convince me that she and i had a relationship . philip : and she was wrong for doing that . what can i say ? it 's not my fault , and it 's not belle 's fault . you made belle feel like a criminal . you made her feel horrible about herself , and you did n't even know how you felt . first you loved her , then you did n't love her , and now you say you love her again , so that 's great . you go ahead and love her . but belle knows that my love for her has not wavered once . and it never will . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maggie : you must miss john and belle terribly right now . marlena : i do . i 'm glad john is with belle in germany , and she needs to be there with philip . but shawn is her one true love . maggie : and they belong together . first love -- true love , right ? marlena : relationships are so complicated . maggie : [ chuckles ] yeah , tell me about it . you know , to be honest , i 'd much rather choose two men in love with me than have to compete with another woman for my own husband . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm jennifer : i just think it is so great that frankie is back . jennifer : jack ... stop it . jack : i want lockhart out of our lives for good . jennifer : well , i understand that , and you may have gotten your wish , because he left . he left without saying goodbye . jack : good . good -- good riddance . let 's hope he took all of his things this time so we do n't have to have him on the premises again . jennifer : all right . well , you know what , jack ? maybe now that he 's gone , you and i can go to the garage apartment . we can get it set up for max and frankie . what if they want to stay . that 's okay , right , if they stay for a few days ? jack : well , it was my suggestion to begin with , so , yeah , i think the brady brothers should be a real improvement , especially over patrick lockhart . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm frankie : so , what did happen between you and chelsea ? max : it 's none of your damn business , all right ? so just drop it . and why did you follow me to salem , anyway ? are you checking up on me ? frankie : yes , i am . when i heard you were coming back here , i knew it was only a matter of time before you got into trouble , and i was right . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm abby : i ca n't believe it . chelsea : would you please keep your voice down ? god , abby , it 's not even that big of a deal . it 's not like we had sex or anything . abby : then what is it ? chelsea : would you stop being so lame ? everybody does it . abby : well , not everyone . not me . chelsea : well , when you finally grow up , you will . wait a minute , abby . what is this really about ? and tell me the truth . are you jealous of me ? abby : i 'm not jealous of you . are you kidding me ? what you and max did was disgusting . chelsea : whatever , abby . i think someone 's being majorly immature here . abby : yeah , and that somebody 's you . i 've heard other girls at school talk about what you just did , and i 'm sorry , chelsea , it is way more than making out . it was n't smart , and it 's just plain wrong . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm max : i do n't want any trouble , okay ? i did n't look these people up . they found me , okay ? i 'm glad they did . it 's good to be back home . frankie : these are good people . max , i do n't want you to hurt any of them , okay ? max : okay , fine . all right , i wo n't . just get off my back about it , all right ? frankie : no , no way . jennifer : hey , frankie , max , jack and i just made up the guest apartment . i hope that you will consider staying with us while you 're in salem . max : sure . frankie : thanks , jen , but there 's plenty of room at the brady pub and -- thank you . jennifer : yeah , no , you 're right , and i know shawn is probably dying to catch up with the two of you . but i do n't know . maybe you could just stay for one night . i think it would be fun . we have a lot of catching up to do , abby would love it if you were here , and ... i do n't know . just after everything jack and i have been through , it 's so nice to have our family and our friends around us right now . maggie : you bet . this is family . jack : did you hear that ? now what am i gon na do ? how can i tell jennifer that i 'm dying ? marlena : wish i could tell you it 's gon na get better , kid . but it 's not . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mimi : i know . i just said goodbye to the person that i love more than anything ... the man that i thought i would spend the rest of my life with . and now i 'm never gon na see him again . patrick : [ sighs ] all right , so , how are we gon na get my sister out of jail ? rex : take a look at this . now , look . we all know mimi is innocent . even she said it was an accident . what i do n't get is why she pled guilty without a fight . so what i did is i gathered all the important facts , and i created a time line . i know there are some blank spots , but at least it 's a start . patrick : but it 's not gon na be easy to fill in these gaps . rex : i know and do n't care . i 'm not gon na let mimi spend the next two decades of her life in jail , patrick . we have to do whatever it takes to get her out of there . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm shawn d. : philip , you 're wrong . i can not just turn my feelings on and off like that . philip : i 'm sure you loved her the entire time you were away and she did n't know where you were . and i 'm guessing you especially loved her when you finally did come back to salem and you were sleeping with jan spears . shawn d. : that is not fair , and you know it ! i was locked up in a cage , and i could n't escape . even when i did , i got into a motorcycle accident , and i lost my memory -- you know what ? i do n't even care if you do n't understand , because i know belle does . philip : well , you make it pretty damn hard to feel sorry for you now that i know the entire time i was away at war , you were after my wife . well , that 's over . that ends now . belle ... we asked you to choose once before , and you chose me . but now that you know what jan did to shawn last summer , maybe you feel differently . maybe it 'll be easier for you to forgive him for the way that he made you feel . but i want you to know , whatever decision you make , if you want me to let you go , i 'll let you go . i will give you a divorce . it 'll be the hardest thing i 've ever done , but i 'd do it . i would do it because it 'll be a lot harder to be married to someone who loves someone else . but whatever you choose , sweetheart , you know i still love you . i guess it 's true , what they say , huh ? if you love someone enough , you should be willing to set them free . honey , i 'm not gon na hold you to your wedding vows if you 'd rather be with shawn . so it 's up to you . what do you want ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm brady : i knew it ! i knew you 'd come back . chloe : stay away from me ! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hope : better be good , brady . bo : it 's gon na be a great surprise , huh ? zach : yeah . bo : yeah ! high - five . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm belle : one of you is gon na be very hurt , and i 'm sorry about that . i really am . | frankie is introduced and reunites with everyone at the party . max and chelsea finish their intimate activities and chelsea secretly feels bad about what she did . once they arrive home , frankie confronts max about his behavior . chelsea pretends that what she did with max was no big deal and gloats to abby about it . jennifer asks max and frankie to at least spend one night at their house so they can catch up and spend time as a family and it makes jack 's attempts to tell jennifer about his prognosis even harder . rex visits mimi in jail and refuses to give up on her . mimi puts rex 's name on the banned visitor list . rex teams up with patrick to help free mimi . philip asks belle to choose between him and shawn . |
abby : what are you doing ? you should n't be out of bed . jennifer : jack , you need to go upstairs . jack : no , i 'm going . jennifer : no , you 're not . you 're not going anywhere except upstairs so we can take care of you . nick : so where the hell do you think you 're going , anyway ? jack : where we 're going -- you 're taking me back to the hospice . i 'm going back there to die . abby : dad , i wo n't let you go . jennifer : you can not leave . jack : jennifer , this was a big mistake . if i had known that you were getting married to frankie today , i swear to you i never would have come back . jennifer : it was n't a mistake . nick : she 's right . i 've seen more life in you in the last few days when we were just talking about bringing you home . kayla : and if you had n't insisted that steve take that dna test to prove that he was your brother , he would n't be here right now . so how can you possibly say it was a mistake ? it 's important for you to be here with the people who love you , and it 's important for them to be with you . jack : thank you for that , but there is no delaying the inevitable . we 've said our goodbyes . i think it 's for the best if i just go and get in the car . frankie : you 're not going anywhere . i 'm not gon na let you walk out on this family again .

[ scene_break ] chad : so what 's with you , mom ? why should n't i find out why mia left all of a sudden ? madeline : i just -- you know me , i do n't wan na see you make a mistake . chad : oh , you mean like talk to mia . that 's your idea of a mistake , right ? madeline : no . now be fair . you know that i have never come between the two of you . that was your father . i just -- what i was trying to say is give mia some space . she obviously feels like leaving you a message is all she can do right now . chad : i do n't -- i do n't know . it 's too weird . madeline : honey , if the two of you are meant to be together , she 'll come back . or she 'll try and get in touch with you . and if she does n't , well , maybe it 's just for the best . she 's made some really bad decisions , remember ? the pregnancy , keeping the baby 's birth a secret ... running off and hiding the things that are going on in her life , that is obviously a pattern with her . do n't chase after her . chad : i 'll think about it . look , i -- i do n't want any coffee , okay ? i just -- i wan na go , okay ? i 'll see you later . madeline : i had to do it . just had to .

[ scene_break ] kim : i just never realized . i mean , prison . shane : well , it was -- it was more like some filthy hole in the ground . but all the time i was there , i never stopped thinking about you , kim . and then during the debriefing , i found out about your illness . that 's why i 'm here . i could n't wait for you to go back to los angeles . i -- i had to see you now . right now . to see if maybe there was a chance for us . that 's all we need , kim , just one more chance . i swear it . kim : go to hell .

[ chuckles ] ask your sister . you heard , right ? rafe : yeah , i heard . i know , she 's been arrested . i called her from the airport , but she could n't receive any calls . obviously , i 'm going over there after i leave here . well , you know the charges are bogus , right ? sami : my dad thinks so . rafe : well , good . so maybe he and i can figure out who 's setting her up . you got ta be kidding me , right ? like my sister 's gon na go around mugging people ? my sister ? sami : no , of course . rafe : and then , i mean -- well , maybe one guy who deserves it is ej . who would n't wan na bash him in the back of the head ? sami : you know what ? he was actually really hurt . he could 've died . and i do n't think it 's really a funny thing to joke about . rafe : so what 's going on with you and ej , anyway ?

kate : marco ? marco : mrs. dimera . good morning . kate : good morning . it 's kind of odd to see you here . i , uh , assume stefano ... marco : has me picking up a package , ma'am . i really ca n't say any more . kate : mm . and i really do n't want to know anything else . abigail : how many of those exactly have you had ? chad : oh , i do n't know . abigail : i feel like i 'm gaining weight just sitting next to you . chad : yeah , right . if your body got any hotter , you 'd catch fire . oh ! brownie points . come on , now . abigail : well , well , somebody 's certainly gaining points early today . chad : mm - hmm . abigail : i 'll be right back . chad : wha -- where -- where you going ? abigail : i told you , i have to hit up the atm . i might not be able to go later . chad : oh , well , i 'm gon na time you . hurry up . abigail : two seconds , and if i 'm not back , you can inhale at least one more pastry . kate : good morning . chad : hey . uh ... sit . join me . kate : thank you . chad : uh - huh . so , uh , any new word on ej , anything new ? kate : well , i - i think he 's doing better . i really do . the family 's still concerned , though , of course ... [ sighs ] especially your father . chad , your father really needs you . taylor : ej ? no . lexie : oops ! excuse me . oh , good morning . taylor : where is ej ? lexie : oh , honey , relax . relax , okay ? he 's fine . nothing 's wrong . he checked himself out of the hospital this morning . taylor : [ laughs ] oh , good . lexie : yeah , against my advice , i might add . i told him it was too soon , but there 's no stopping my brother when he wants something -- you , for instance . stefano : oh , elvis ! my god , what are you doing here ? ej : mm . well , i decided i was n't gon na atrophy in some bloody hospital bed when i could be doing something a lot more constructive here at home . [ clears throat ] excuse me for a second . stefano : what are you doing ? are you calling your girlfriend ? [ chuckles weakly ] i 'm sure she 's gon na be happy to know that you 're here waiting for her . ej : father , please , just -- stefano : you know , sometimes i do n't understand you . things are going wrong , all right ? and all you can think about is your love life ? ej : i asked you twice . stefano : this has to be done now , because the monster that we created is totally out of control . even the police think so . ej : well , that just does n't make any sense . i mean , why would our impostor attack me ? sami : hey , hey . hope : hey . sami : so i 've been looking all morning . there 's a truck parked in front . it has to be one of the dimera goons , and they probably saw you come in . hope : good . bo : it 's exactly what we want . hope : yes , they 're watching because they 're nervous . sami : not as nervous as i am . bo : got a lot to do today . hope : sami , we 're gon na be fine . bo : are you ready ? sami : if i can get my life back with rafe ... i 'm ready for anything . chad : wow . okay . um , so what does he need ? did he -- did he say ? what 'd he say ? kate : he has a man , marco , who 's waiting at the pier right now . he needs to be reminded to use extreme caution when he delivers a shipment he 's about to receive to the mansion . it 's also very important that he is not followed . chad : okay . kate : what ? am i misinterpreting now ? i thought that you were ready to st -- chad : no , i 'm just -- i 'm not sure if , uh -- look , marco does some pretty heavy stuff for stefano . kate : okay , look , your family is under attack right now . you saw what happened to ej . your father trusts you , and he needs your help . chad : okay . well , i 'm sure i can just pass on a message , no problem . i 'll just let , uh , abigail know that i 'll be right back . should n't take long , right ? kate : oh , no , it wo n't take long at all . chad : okay , so , um ... what 's in the shipment ? kate : oh , i think it 's best if you and i do n't know what 's in the shipment . chad : got it . see you . kate : this is going beautifully . abigail : hi . what -- what happened to chad ? kate : hey . uh , something came up , and he had to leave . i think that he texted you . abigail : oh , thanks . huh . he , uh -- he did n't say where he was going . kate : oh , i think he said he was going down to the pier . bo : that 's it . sami : that is really small . are you sure this is gon na do the job ? bo : yeah , the signal 's strong , reliable . sami : but what about the antenna ? hope : oh , it does n't need one . the equipment truck that 's parked near the dimeras will boost the signal more than enough . bo : we 'll be able to hear everything that stefano and ej are saying . sami : if i do my job right . hope : sami ... you 're gon na be fine . sami : i wonder if they 're really worried . hope : my guess ? plenty . sami , look at this . they created a freak that 's now on the loose . and they believe that he 's the one who attacked ej . sami : right . bo : fortunately , ej has no memory of the attack , so we 're good there . sami : so what are we gon na do with the , um -- the creature ? bo : he 's under lock and key . rafe 's fbi buddy 's watching him . sami : and everybody thinks he 's the one who 's back in salem , right , not rafe ? bo : right . and we had a bit of luck this morning . our dimera informant called and said something 's going down today , so we 'll be able to rattle their cage . lexie : what 's going on between you and my brother ? taylor : ej loves me . i love him . i 'm hopeful . and nicole asked him for a divorce , but stefano -- ho - ho - ho - ho ! lexie : he does n't approve ? taylor : okay , well , let 's just say the man knows how to level a threat . lexie : well , let 's just say that ej knows how to handle father . taylor : you think ? lexie : i know . taylor : good . good . i 'm glad to hear that . now i just wish you could tell me that the man who murdered my mother is gon na pay for it . ej : well , that 's just all we bloody need , is n't it , huh ? i mean , the police are looking for our impostor ! stefano : do you think he attacked you because he found out that you were gon na get him killed ? ej : who cares , father ? who cares , all right ? he needs to be eliminated now ... before the police find him . stefano : the only thing that the police can find is an all - night doughnut shop , all right ? our people will get to him , and then he 'll disappear . ej : oh , they better , father , because he has a lot of evidence that he could take to the authorities . stefano : as if you 're worried about that . ej : excuse me ? stefano : the only thing you 're worried about is that he could connect you with the murder of your girlfriend 's mother . victor : maggie , what a surprise . come in , come in . can i have henderson get you something ? maggie : ooh . well , does henderson know why rafe was blamed for something that brady did ? no , wait . i 'm sure you can tell me . victor : maggie , i had nothing to do with that charade . i 'm sure bo must have his reasons for taking that route , but he did n't share it with me , and he did n't warn me . maggie : awfully convenient for you , though , is n't it ? and brady benefits , too . victor : yes , he does . as long as the dimeras are chasing rafe hernandez , he 's not going to war with my family . maggie : mm . it 's a real win - win ... unless your name is rafe hernandez . victor : look , rafe is a cop . bo is a cop . i 'm sure they have a plan . but you did n't come here because rafe hernandez was being mistreated . maggie : mm , no , not entirely . i spent a lot of time with melanie last night . she , of course , is worried about a -- oh , a possible war erupting with brady being the first casualty , but she had something else on her mind . victor : what ? maggie : she was intent on using this crisis with brady to make sure ... that we connected again . chad : good morning . marco ? marco : who wants to -- oh , you 're mr. dimera 's son . how are you , sir ? chad : uh , fine . thank you . listen , i , uh -- i have a message for you from my father . marco : absolutely , sir . anything you say will be the same as hearing it from mr. dimera himself . hope : see you later . have fun , kids . bo : okay , man , i owe you . right , yeah . uh , is sami clear on what she has to do ? hope : absolutely . what 's next for us ? bo : that was our dimera informant . he said it 's showtime . and since you 're just a deputy , i 'm going to tell you , you got to be careful , you got it ? hope : i got it . bo : yeah , bring along an extra clip , just in case things go south . hope : all right . you know , it feels kind of weird . bo : why , because you 're just a deputy and not a full detective ? hope : yeah , i guess . i mean , i know it 's only for this one operation , but , well , after that , i go back to being just hope brady . bo : well , hey ... `` just hope brady `` is someone i happen to love . so give me a kiss for luck . hope : you give me my hat . bo : mm . shall we ? hope : we shall . ej : look , father , if our impostor is caught and he 's charged with fay 's murder , he 's going to implicate both of us , all right ? so let 's just leave him out of this , shall we ? permanently . stefano : should have eliminated that bastard the second he came back to salem . ej : god knows he has enough information to back up his story . i mean , father , it 's not like he just knows that he was operated on and how many times . he knows who paid the bills ! he knows everything ! one dna test -- just one -- against his sibling , and we do n't stand a chance at trial -- nothing . the jury are gon na think we 're ghouls . stefano : well , what we did to rafael has to be kept secret ... forever . now , aside from our impostor , who we 're gon na get rid of in a few hours , hmm , the only ones that know about this , really , is you , me , and nicole . ej : speaking of which , is she upstairs ? stefano : no . one of my police informants told me that she was arrested because they think that she had something to do with what happened to you . ej : what do you think ? stefano : not a chance . of course , i am a concerned citizen . and i was never dumb enough to qualify for the salem police force . ej : okay , i understand that , father , but , look , she knew that we held rafe downstairs . she got the dna tested . stefano : meaningless . ej : why ? why is it meaningless ? stefano : because i did some fancy paperwork with a copy of nicole 's will . by the way , she left you nothing . ej : [ chuckles ] i 'm crushed . stefano : and i have also destroyed everything down in the cellar , okay ? so now the only problem is ... ej : that idiot running around . stefano : uh - huh . but ... i have my people all over salem , okay ? they are uplifting garbage cans all over the place . we 'll find him , okay ? and then he 'll be out of our lives . ej : [ sighs ] i wish i shared your confidence , father . i - i really do . this is just brilliant , is n't it ? i 'm finally , finally ... trying to make a better life for myself , and i ca n't because our impostor is running around , ready to ruin everything ! stefano : well ... sami : impostor ? what are you talking about ? marco : is the message complicated ? maybe i should write it down . chad : no . this is just a warning from stefano . abigail , no . hey , hey ! no , abigail , wait up ! marco : mr. dimera gave me a message ? chad : yeah , yeah , yeah . he said that you need to be very careful you 're not followed . you got that ? abigail , wait up ! maggie : and when melanie mentioned that there might be a war between your family and the dimeras , she worked very hard at convincing me to somehow get you out of town . victor : out of town ? maggie : on a trip . victor : just go off somewhere ? maggie : with me . victor : huh . a slow boat to china , just us kids . [ chuckles ] maggie : i know . crazy , is n't it ? marco : [ sighs ] better double - count it before i deliver it to mr. d. who 's there ? hope : just a lady ... looking at you . marco : listen , lady , maybe some other time . i 've got -- i 've got business -- oh ! ej : samantha . well , this is a lovely surprise . what are you doing here ? sami : i came to drop sydney off , right ? it 's her time to spend with you . ej : oh , of course . sami : and i asked mary to watch her , because i wanted to come in and see what kind of damage had been done and if i needed to prepare sydney . [ clears throat ] so what were you talking about -- an impostor ? were you talking about rafe ? ej : that 's -- yes , we were talking about rafe . that 's very strange . i was just saying to my father that the rafe who came back to salem is so completely different from the one who left that he might as well be an impostor . stefano : absolutely . have you seen the paper ? i mean , the police are looking for your husband because he tried to kill him and left him for dead . ej : it is a little bit jekyll and hyde , samantha . it 's almost like the man has two completely different personalities . sami : no , you 're wrong , okay ? rafe would never just attack someone without provocation . obviously , you must have done something . stefano : ah , of course . i mean , you know , accuse the one that got hurt . ej : samantha , in all fairness , please , you were the first person who came in here to complain that rafe was not acting himself anymore . sami : i would never -- i would never say something like that . he -- he is himself , and you obviously must have done something -- or both of you did . stefano : now , look , false accusations are not gon na help , so calm down . sami : i ca n't calm down , okay ? do n't you understand what i 'm going through here ? i thought he was getting better . i thought rafe -- he came back , and people were saying that he was better . everyone was saying that he was better . and now this happened . so , obviously , it must be something that you did , okay ? i mean , you had to do something to make him feel like he had to do it , or otherwise , there just -- it 's a mistake . i mean , it had to be a mistake . ej : samantha , what are you doing ? chad : hey , have you , uh , seen abigail ? kate : yeah . she came in after you left . i told her that you went down to the pier , and then she left . chad : why the hell would you tell her where i was ? kate : did i say something i should n't have ? chad : well , yeah . you knew i was down there on family business . kate : chad , you were delivering a message . it 's not like it was illegal . i do n't think that 's any big deal . chad : well , it was . abigail overheard me talking to marco , and she took off running . bo : all right , let 's go . lexie : and you 're sure it was rafe ? are you pos -- are you positive ? taylor : lexie ... he as much as said it to my face . he murdered my mom . and there were witnesses standing there , and the cops did absolutely nothing . so at least now they 're gon na arrest him for beating up ej . lexie : [ sighs ] you know , there was -- there was always something strange about fay 's injuries . but i mean , when a person falls down a steep set of stairs , all sorts of injuries pop up , so i - i - i let it go . damn it , i should have followed my instincts . taylor : it 's okay , all right ? but at least now we know why he was lurking around here like he 's some sort of vulture . lexie : yeah . well , i mean , once they catch rafe , maybe he 'll confess , and we 'll be able to find out the whole truth . taylor : i need to know the truth . i need to , so ej and i can start moving forward . you know , we need to put this -- this nightmare behind us . lexie : [ sighs deeply ] taylor : what ? lexie : taylor , you know that i 'm in your corner . but do n't fool yourself , okay ? there is n't gon na be some happily ever after . when you are involved with any member of my family ... things are always complicated . ej : samantha ... i asked you what you were doing . sami : what does it look like i 'm doing ? i am trying to come to terms with what is happening with my husband . i 'm sorry if i ca n't handle the whole cold shoulder , sociopathic , stiff - upper - lip thing you 've got going . excuse me . you know , it 's upsetting to me . he is my husband , and whether you believe it or not , i love him . and i do n't believe he 's capable of something like this . stefano : of course , he 's just a regular st . francis , except when he bloodies up people and leaves them for dead . sami : oh , come on , you know that 's not true . you know he did n't do this , ej . come on , please tell me that -- that you understand what is happening . ej : truly , samantha , i - i - i wish i could , but i have no idea . sami : did n't you do something ? did n't you say something that provoked him ? ej : samantha , i have absolutely no memory of anything that happened that evening . sami : the worst part of all of this is that i do n't know what 's gon na happen next . i have no idea what he 's going to do . i 'm sorry . i -- i ca n't keep talking . mary has sydney , and , uh ... just call me when she 's ready to come home . stefano : hmm . ej : she 's right , you know . we have absolutely no idea what this bloody lunatic is going to do next . stefano : well , it wo n't be long . i have faith in my people . ej : i hope so . stefano : where are you going ? ej : out . i have something to do . stefano : elvis , should you be driving ? elvis ! oh , for god 's sake . my son elvis is leaving the premises . follow him ... for his protection , of course . victor : i 'm still trying to fathom what was going through melanie 's mind . maggie : well , it seemed clear to me she just wanted to get you out of town , in case there was a war . plus , i -- victor : us on a trip together ? i mean , what made her think i would turn tail and run ... and take you with me , to boot ? maggie : victor , did you ever think that melanie might know more about us than you think ? victor : oh , she has no -- maggie : now , wait a minute . i have n't finished . you see , you made it very clear that -- that you thought that we ca n't be together , because , well , you can never change . and , yes , the dimeras are off on the wrong track . so maybe leaving town is n't quite so urgent . victor : definitely not . maggie : well , i want to tell you something . when melanie brought up the idea of you getting away from danger , my first thought -- no way . he pushed me away . he does n't want any more contact . and since i no longer have any influence , i thought , `` well , what was the point ?

chad : you want me to talk to you about my little theory , or maybe with someone down at the police station ? that 'd be great . ej : you do n't have any proof , do you ? chad : no . but i have a viable theory of the crime . so father may have kicked kate out of his bed , out of his house , out of his life , but that did n't mean that he did n't still own her . and women that stefano dimera own do not hit the sheets with really good - looking , really young cops . now , tell me if i am saying something that 's out of character . ej : he 's been known to be a little possessive , mm - hmm . chad : hmm . that 's why he was so weird when i tried to talk to him about kate . made the mistake of saying he seemed happy when they were married and pretty miserable since . ej : well , he 's never really been one to take advice . chad : and that night of the shooting , he came in the coffee shop , which is right around the corner from the hospital . he kept looking at his watch like he was waiting for something , which was right about the same time that cop went into rafe 's room with a weapon , according to sami . ej : okay , chad , look . it 's customary when somebody demands an answer to first ask a question . chad : okay . here 's a question . am i crazy ?

what i care about is what you did and the fact that you did n't tell me any of this . why not ? answer me ! jj : i was going to tell you . somewhere private . jennifer : abe , do you think we could have some privacy so my son can tell me the whole story ? abe : sure . jennifer : this is about as private as it gets for people who have been arrested . jj : so you 're , like , sure this is all my fault ? jennifer : tell me why i should n't think that . jj : mom , i was just hanging out with some friends that i 'd met at school , and then we went to the store , but then that -- that kid cole , he wanted to borrow some notes , so he went into my backpack , and that must have been when he put the stuff in there . jennifer : you were supposed to come home right after school , remember ? you were supposed to meet cameron and deal with this whole prescription pad thing . cameron was there . i was there . we were waiting for you , and you never showed up . jj : okay . i 'm sorry . i forgot . jennifer : i do n't believe you . jj : you do n't believe i forgot ?

'cause we had this private agreement . anne : oh ? daniel : yeah , yeah , yeah , after you conspired with my ex - wife to screw with my life . anne : oh , right . daniel : yeah , right . see , i put you on notice to back the hell off . or i would go to mr. burns and the hospital board and tell them what a vile , poisonous woman you really are . anne , do you really want to be going looking for work in this economy with a board censure on your record ? anne : no . no , i do n't . daniel : no . you do n't . but i 'm glad we had this little chat . anne : no , no , i get it . you 're lady horton 's white knight . you 're gon na run off and protect her . but let me tell you something . if her son is going down the tubes , there 's not a damn thing you can do about it , and that kid -- i mean , can you spell downward spiral ? really . jennifer : hi , this is jennifer horton . leave a message , and i 'll get back to you .

yeah . nicole ! nicole , get out here right now . i want to talk to you . now ! i do n't know what your game is , but you were obviously trying to hurt chloe , and it 's no secret you did n't want the two of us together . nicole : i did n't do anything . brady : shut up ! you lied to me ! you said you were n't with her . you said you never saw her ! but it 's perfectly obvious you 've known for months , nicole , that chloe was alive . you did everything in your power to keep her away from me , did n't you ? did n't you ? ! nicole : i ...

'cause if you 're going to change your mind , this is the time to do it . i know you 've loved shawn for most of your life . but if you are going to choose me , it needs to be very clear to all of us that you 're doing it because you love me -- for no other reason . and consider it a second run on our wedding vows . i know they meant a lot the first time through , but considering everything that 's happened , they may even mean more now . are you ready to commit to me ? and i mean forever , because the decision you make right now -- all three of us are going to have to live with it for the rest of our lives . i have made the right decision . please go home , shawn . i 'm gon na stay here with my husband . shawn d. : i love you . i always will . belle : [ sobs ] philip : it 's okay . john : yeah , i think shawn 's just stuck in second gear . he keeps making the same mistakes over and over again with belle . he pressures her , and when things do n't go his way , he blows up and does something outrageous , like flying here . i do n't know if he actually thinks that she 's gon na dump philip and fly back to salem with him , but it would surprise the hell out of me if she did . last time i talked to her , i got the impression she was gon na stand by her husband . yeah , well , you know i will . i 'll give her a hug from both of us . yeah . all right . i will call you as soon as i find out when we 're leaving . love you , too . whoa , hey , easy ! shawn d. : back off unless you 're looking for a fight . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hope : [ sighs ] two years ago , this would have been zach 's bedtime . mmm . and ours , as well . bo : well ... thing is ... if we went to bed right now , you 'd miss my surprise . hope : surprise ? bo : yeah . i was gon na give you it tomorrow , but i can always move it up a day . have you curious ? hope : excited ! okay , whatever you 're gon na do , do it now . just do it now . bo : that was n't it . hope : still very nice . bo : mmm . okay . you know , i forgot . hope : i always do that to you , do n't i ? bo : i just forgot . hope : let me see if i can forget again . bo : no . hope : no . bo : i 'll be right back . hope : [ chuckles ] zach : where 's daddy ? hope : you know , your guess is as good as mine . i do n't know , honey . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm john : hey . i 'm not looking for a fight . why are you ? what happened just ... oh , my god . she did it . she dumped your ass , did n't she ? she made her decision , and she chose philip . belle : it should n't be this way . philip : what do you mean ? you just decided . sweetheart ... belle : no , i do n't mean that . i mean , you should n't be the one comforting me . i 'm your wife . you should never have to worry for a minute that i would ever leave you . philip : it 's sad , really , because i can almost understand where he 's coming from . if i thought i was gon na lose you , i think i 'd get pretty desperate , too . belle : [ sniffles ] okay , let 's not talk about shawn , okay ? philip : okay . belle : i am here to help you . do you need anything ? what can i do for you ? philip : you just did it . i have said prayer after prayer that i would be able to come home and spend the rest of my life with you , and now it 's happening . you are just my reason to be . and i hope that does n't scare you , but you 're my world . you are everything to me . and i think you always have been . belle : i know what you mean .

[ sighs ] shawn d. : let me ask you something , john . you want your daughter to be happy ? john : oh , yeah . shawn d. : well , she 's not . you want to know why ? right now she is being noble and self - sacrificing because people like you are telling her that staying with philip is the right thing to do , when , in reality , she does not love him , okay ? she loves me . john : you are so selfish you ca n't even see past your own needs . shawn d. : am i supposed to put philip 's needs ahead of mine ? john : no -- belle 's . and if you knew her at all , you would understand that honoring those wedding vows and sticking by the man that she married in a time when he needs her the most is completely true to who belle is . she is living up to her promises and her responsibilities , and sometimes our own happiness has to take a backseat to the greater good . but my words are wasted on you , are n't they ? 'cause you ca n't hear the truth of what i 'm saying . you have convinced yourself that she needs you to be happy . well , you are wrong ! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm belle : are you comfortable ? philip : huh ? yeah , yeah . thank you , sweetheart . i 'm good . belle : philip , you do n't have to pretend with me or protect me from what you 're going through . i want to help you . did i hurt you when i put you in the bed ? philip : no , no , no . i think i 'm just a little tired . belle : because i can get stronger , i promise . i 'll go if you want me to . philip : you know what ? maybe just for a little bit . go get yourself some tea or something . i 'm gon na close my eyes and try to sleep , okay ? belle : are you sure ? i do n't want to go if you need me . philip : yeah , i 'm s -- i 'm sure , honey . belle : okay . what are the chances that the cafeteria has a chai latte ? [ chuckles ] philip : [ chuckles ] zero . belle : okay , i 'll be back . do you need anything ? philip : just you . hey ... i love you , mrs. kiriakis . belle : i love you , too . philip : [ wincing ] ah . ahh . ow .

zach : mnh - mnh . bo : unh - unh , see ? he 's totally on my side , are n't you ? hope : yeah , but the question is ... about what ? what are you planning ? bo : would n't you like to know ? hope : oh , yes , i would -- this is torture for me . you know that . bo : well , the faster you go get his stuff together , the faster he 'll visit his grandma and grandpa and you 'll find out what i 've got up my sleeve , huh ? hope : this better be good , brady . bo : it will , just hurry up . hope : i 'm hurrying . bo : this is gon na be a great surprise , huh ? zach : yeah . bo : yeah ! high - five ! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm shawn d. : you 're kidding yourself if you think she 's just gon na live happily ever after with philip . she loves me . and sooner or later , she will not be able to deny that . and then it 's gon na be really hard on philip . john : belle is married to philip . she has chosen to stay with him , and i 'm sure she has thought about her decision very carefully . she does n't act irrationally like you do , shawn . no , she obviously believes that philip will be a better husband to her than you could ever be . shawn d. : yeah , and she is making the biggest mistake of her life . john : now you 're getting it . her life . her choice to make . i do n't have a say , marlena does n't have a say , and you certainly do n't have a say who she marries , no matter how much you think you love her . shawn d. : i do love her ! john : i guess it was n't enough to convince belle to be happy with you , was it ?

heather : do you mind if i sit ? philip : no . go ahead . heather : you know , i worked in the war in the former yugoslavia for a few years , just helping on a one - to - one basis . but it was n't until i lost my leg while i was crossing a road in england that i decided to help on a bigger scale . i have a really , really fulfilling life now , and i know that you can , too . philip : ma'am , you do n't even know me . heather : i know you enlisted in the marines , and you risked your life voluntarily defending your country . surely you 've got the courage that you need to survive this . philip : well ... i just never thought anything like this would happen to me . heather : of course not . no one does . it 's terribly unfair to brave soldiers like yourself , but especially to kids that are playing outside their homes years after the war 's ended , and they step on a land mine unexpectedly that kills or maims them . the worst thing when you 're facing a tragedy like this is you know it need never have happened . philip : yeah . that 's true . heather : what helped me the most was to not focus on the grief , but focus on making a difference to other people . the world needs to realize that no one should suffer or die this way . those minefields can be cleared and returned to productive use . philip : i am a marine . i am trained to take control of any situation , and right now everything is out of my control . everything . heather : philip , it 's really up to you to take control . you can start by getting physiotherapy and rehabilitation . practice on your crutches . and then eventually you 'll get a practice start leg . i have to admit , they 're pretty ugly , but i brought one that you can use later that looks pretty great . it 's got hairs and veins on it . and they can match up your own if you 've got hairy legs . philip : [ chuckles ] heather : obviously i did n't get any hairs put on mine because i do n't have to shave and later on in life i can avoid getting my varicose veins removed . now , stay positive , philip . you will get your life back . philip : [ sighs ] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm shawn d. : like tea is gon na help . belle : shawn ... shawn d. : you lied to philip . you told him that you loved him and you 're gon na spend the rest of your life with him . belle : i am . shawn d. : like hell you are . you are in love with me . philip : if i had to choose between losing my leg or losing belle , i would lose my leg without even thinking about it . shawn d. : that does not mean that i have accepted what has happened here , because i will never accept it . belle : philip needs me more than he ever has . shawn d. : but for how long ?

we have amnesia ? no , tate is welcome here and we 're all gon na try to do our best for him . and that includes you . so , as long as you 're here , do n't ever forget : i 've got your number , cookie . brady : and god knows i 'm not thrilled about this , but it 's what 's best for tate . victor : you expect me to face that woman over breakfast every morning ? brady : [ sighs ] damn it , granddad , i 'm not -- i 've had a really miserable night worrying about whether two people that i love were gon na live or die , so i 'm not in the mood for this kind of crap . and i know you had a busy night too , right ?

xander : i was at a party in chicago . there 's at least , i do n't know , ten people that can verify that . roman : well , we 're gon na need those names . we 're also gon na need to check your car and your cell phone . xander : of course . but i think i can save your department a lot of man - hours . roman : well , his concern for our welfare is touching , is n't it , abe ? how you gon na do that , mr. cook ? xander : well , serena can actually help me back up most of what i say . ca n't you , serena ? daniel : thank god you 're okay . thank you . and i heard from the police . and from what you said when you were delirious , everything eric did to save your life . and you know -- you know how much i love her . i do n't know how i 'll ever repay you . eric : yeah . i mean , you -- you saved us both . daniel : no , but she 's alive because of you . eric : daniel , please , stop . just -- can we not talk about this ? daniel : eric ? what ? what is it ? will : damn it , sonny , i am not desperate . i 'm in love with you . sonny : you have a funny way of showing it . will : what 's that supposed to mean ? sonny : you jumped at the chance to go to los angeles with your mom . will : her -- her husband had just died ! she needed my help ! sonny : we both know that 's not why you left . you went out there to be a big hollywood writer . and when it did n't work out for you , you ran home , and then you lied about it . will : i came back because i missed you . sonny : i wonder how much you would 've missed me if your screenplay had been picked up . will : sonny , i begged for you to come with me . and if anything had happened with my screenplay , i would 've come back here in a second to beg you to move . sonny : you 're lying to me . and you 're lying to yourself . before you left you told me our life together was boring . and ever since you been back all we 've been doing is arguing . and then you slept with paul to get a good story . paul : i 'd really rather not talk about that . derrick : yeah , i 'm sorry . i just -- i ca n't believe they 're married and have a little girl . i mean , they 're so young . especially the reporter . paul : yeah , i do n't think that little girl was , uh , planned . derrick : uh , yeah , no . i thought he was young to be a dad . you know i wan na have a -- a husband and a kid someday , but not yet , obviously . what about you ? you ready to settle down ? will : my god , sonny , how many times do i have to say it ? i did n't sleep with paul just to get the story ! it happened ! sonny : `` it happened . it just happened . `` i know . and it did n't mean anything , right ? will : it did n't . at least i did n't ask him to marry me . sonny : then why did you sleep with him ? maggie : so why do n't you take him up and put him down for a nap , hayley , okay ? theresa : oh , no . i - i can do that . maggie : i think we ought to wait until victor and brady have their little talk . hayley : he 's really beautiful , ms . donovan . maggie : call her theresa , hayley . we do n't stand on ceremony here . hayley : right . maggie : [ whispers ] do we ? theresa : oh , um , hayley , i had some suitcases sent over . you can unpack them for me while he sleeps . maggie : theresa will do that herself , hayley . thank you . hayley is tate 's nanny . she 's not your maid . theresa : [ scoffs ] wow . you are just knocking yourself out to make a girl feel welcome . maggie : oh , you want me to be sweet about this ? this is wednesday . theresa : mm - hmm . maggie : melanie and i had a standing lunch date on wednesdays . she 's gone and you 're here and we both know why . toe the line and i 'll try to be cordial . but no one in this house , especially me , is gon na take any attitude from you . [ chuckles ] i wonder how the guys are getting along . brady : are you really gon na play dumb about this ? victor : i 'll be candid . brady : [ laughs ] no , you wo n't . victor : i knew about xander 's history . i guess i just thought i could help him . i never expected it would come to something like this . and the longer he was in town , the less i liked him . then he started messing with daniel ... my godson , maggie 's son . i mean , it was unforgiveable . so i went to him and i told him he had to get out of town . i suppose i should 've made sure he left . i have to call daniel and apologize . brady : what do you want to do about xander ? victor : after what he did ? i do n't care if he rots in hell . in fact , he better wish the police find him before i do . roman : so is that right , serena ? can you confirm mr. cook 's alibi ? serena : no . xander : serena , do n't you remember , darling ? i came to say good - bye to you . roman : good - bye is n't actually the same as leaving . xander : just as well i went to that party then . it was after i said good - bye that i did actually leave salem and serena can tell you why . serena : really ? xander : do n't you remember that ? we talked about nicole . i had recently discovered that my feelings for ms . walker were not , uh , reciprocated . i accepted that and decided to leave salem . i did tell you that , did n't i ? serena : yes , you did . xander : so it was after i talked to serena that i went to chicago . abe : you know , commissioner brady , i do n't believe mr. cook is saving us any man - hours at all . roman : i agree , abe . we still have to check those party guests and also his cell phone . xander : oh , please do . you 'll find that i sent and received multiple calls and texts en route . roman : mr. cook , you did n't text and drive , did you ? abe : oh , i 'm sure he pulled over . mr. cook strikes me as a very , very careful man . roman : oh , yeah . a very meticulous planner . serena : a few of those phone calls were from me . funny you did n't pick up . xander : i just did n't have time to get back to you . if i had known what was going on , i mean , maybe we could have avoided this horrible misunderstanding . but i guess all that really matters is that eric and nicole are okay . daniel : you still worried xander 's out there ? eric : no , just so much happened last night . daniel : no , i get that . i really do , but that was -- that was a pretty big response you had just now . eric : as a matter of fact , i do think i know what 's bothering me . nicole : so do i . you ca n't hold it in , eric . you have to tell daniel what happened . nicole : this is n't just about what xander did . not that it was n't horrible and enough to give us nightmares for a long , long time , but ... daniel , you know how important trust is to eric . daniel : i do . but what does trust have to do with this ? eric : actually ... a lot . nicole : and i - i - i - i think , for eric , as bad as that room was -- the heat , the fear ... the betrayal was worse . daniel : betrayal ? eric : that 's right . daniel , i , uh ... nicole : think about it , daniel . how deeply , how horribly serena betrayed eric . he told me all about it in that hell hole while we were waiting to die . and i think he just needs to process that , move on from that and then he can talk about anything else . daniel : i understand that and maybe you 're right . but this is eric 's call . so was it serena who got you so upset ? roman : abe ? abe : yeah , roman ? roman : when you were young and a very beautiful woman shuts you down , did you ... `` accept that your interest was n't reciprocated `` ? abe : [ laughs ] well , actually , uh , sometimes i was a little ticked off . roman : and you had some angry thoughts about that young lady ? abe : you know , i 'm very impressed that the young men of today are so evolved . roman : yeah , yeah . except , wait a minute , wait a minute here . eric and nicole said you were very angry , but you did n't use words , you actually tried to kill them . xander : that 's simply not true . roman : well , we 'll see about that because we have conclusive physical evidence that somebody tried to kill 'em . and they swear it was you . xander : i have witnesses . roman : no , you do n't . no . what you have is a manufactured alibi . so you listen to me , xander . eric brady is my son and one of the best men i 've ever known . he was trying to save a human life and somebody forced him into a crawl space , then barricaded him and the person he was trying to save in that crawl space , left them to roast to death . so trust me , i will not stop till the son of a bitch who did that pays . now , abe , do me a big favor and get this guy out of here and away from me . abe : mr. cook , have you ever been in an interrogation room ? we 're going to ask you a lot of questions about that party . xander : oh , i 'm so sorry , serena , i did n't ask . you were n't actually with nicole and eric last night , were you ? serena : i was there when daniel found them . xander : but you were n't in harm 's way ? oh , thank god . i could n't bear to think of something like that happening to you . abe : come on . roman : you know what , serena ? you do n't seem stupid to me . how in the hell do you think you could get mixed up with somebody like that and not end up with blood on your hands ? serena : i - i was with daniel most of the night . he can verify that . roman : oh , right , right , right , you 're blameless . serena : i 'm sorry , i ... i do n't have anything you can use against xander . roman : you were there , serena ! you saw eric and nicole . how the hell can you sleep at night ? [ knock at door ] i 'm ms . mason 's attorney and this interview is over . roman : that is fine . you know what ? that is really fine because i need some fresh air . serena : they made me be with xander in here . they -- stop . they do n't know anything and it 's gon na stay that way . you do n't say another word . not if you care at all about your life . victor : one way or another , xander will be dealt with . right now i wan na know what the hell you were thinking when you told that woman she could stay here . maggie : look , you have played every card in your hand to get yourself into this house . me ? i 'm not so sure that was a shrewd move . you 've never had to deal with victor in hand - to - hand combat . you think you fight dirty ? [ chuckles ] and you might have been wise to give brady a little space , give him a little time to forget all the things that you had done . and , oh , oh , my goodness , i forgot . i have to tell henderson that we wo n't be needing these fireplace tools anymore . brady : i 'm doing this for my son . do you realize that theresa 's parents want to take her and the baby and move to la ? is that what you would prefer ? victor : [ sighs ] no . brady : well , neither would i . so , this is the compromise , okay ? she does n't know squat about being a mother . hell , she does n't know squat about being a human being . that 's why we have to -- we have to make sure we take care of my son . victor : she 's playing you , you know ? brady : yeah , i know that , but i got ta put my son first . victor : and , you know , it 's not just her . pretty soon you may be dealing with her whole family . that imbecilic mother , the slatternly sister . god , it 's like living in an episode of honey boo boo . no , i 'm gon na put my foot down . she can not stay here . brady : all right . it 's your house , i guess . victor : is n't that where this conversation started ? brady : mm - hmm . all right , then we will be out of here as soon as we can . victor : we ? brady : yeah , we . 'cause if theresa goes , then tate goes . if tate goes , i go . so we 'll just find somewhere else to live and you can have all the peace and quiet that you want . sonny : if you cared so much about our marriage , how could you sleep with paul ? how could n't you see you were risking everything we had ? will : i told you , sonny , there was n't any thinking involved . it just -- sonny : did you think i 'd be fine with you cheating on me ? will : i thought he would leave town and then you would n't find out about it . sonny : and i would n't what ? i would n't care ? will : no , sonny , you know what , i thought about it and i thought you would care . just like you care about all of my failings that you point out , you itemize , and you throw in my face . nobody in the world , sonny , knows more about my failings than you do . sonny : you think this is my fault ? will : [ scoffs ] how could i ? how could anyone think that anything you do is your fault ? you 're sonny . when you work around the clock , 24/7 , that 's good , that 's getting ahead . it 's not like me obsessing with my writing and you accuse me of sleeping with paul to get a story and that 's sleazy . but you being best friends with chad freakin ' dimera , that 's fine , that 's just -- that 's normal . it has nothing to do with the fact that he 's rich and connected . sonny : my god . will : before you rip apart my argument and you prove to me , as you do every single time so conclusively that everything i do is wrong and everything you do is right , i just wan na say one thing . even though i 'm emotional and off base . sonny ... do you have any idea how it feels to have a husband that thinks that i 'm not at his level ? it feels like crap . and you know what you do when you feel like crap ? you -- you go and ... sonny : you what ? you sleep with paul ? will : yeah . sonny : oh , my god . he was n't the only one , was he ? you slept with someone before paul , did n't you ? paul : yeah , i 'd like to settle down sometime . when i find the right person . derrick : so the guy who asked you to marry him was n't the one , huh ? i mean , i do n't know a whole lot about relationships , but i just feel like you would n't wan na get married right after you came out . i do n't feel like it would ever last . paul : it 's nice seeing you . i 'm gon na go for a swim . derrick : yeah , water 's great . sonny : you did , did n't you ? you slept with someone before paul . will : no . i swear , i did n't . sonny : [ scoffs ] you 're lying . will : no , sonny . sonny , i love you , and all i care about is trying to fix our marriage . sonny : you slept with someone in los angeles . will : no , sonny . sonny : i asked you point blank in the hospital , and you swore nothing happened in l.a . will : sonny , listen to me . sonny : that 's what you meant just now . you thought you could sleep with paul and if he left town i would n't find out . just like i would n't find out about los angeles ? will : no , sonny , it -- i -- sonny : you know what ? i need to get out of here . will : no , sonny , wait . sonny , wait , listen to me . all i ca -- sonny : all you talked about was how much you were working out in los angeles . that you did n't have time to call me . and all that time you were -- you were screwing around ? will : sonny ! listen to me . it only happened once . living with chronic migraine will : sonny , listen -- sonny : if you say `` it did n't mean anything `` i will scream . get your hands off me . will : tell me what you want me to say . sonny : i do n't think we should say anything , will . i think we should wait . talk to your good friend dr . myers .

[ knock at door ] nicole : where were you ? daniel : i just put dr . glass in charge of your case and you 're probably gon na be released in a few hours . nicole : well , if that 's true , why did n't you keep being my doctor ? daniel : because all i wan na be is the man who loves you , who sits by your bed , who holds your hand and makes sure you know how glad i am to still have you in my life . | sonny confronted will about the article about dr. meyers . will lied to sonny about why he wanted to write it . sonny called him for his lie and let him have it . paul ran into derek at the park . derek was surprised to read about paul coming out . xander told roman and abe that he was in chicago and expected serena to back him up . will reminded him that he wanted him to go to california with him , but he refused . sonny reminded will that he did n't have any time for him . derek reminded paul about being with a married man . victor was upset about theresa moving in , but then his conversation with brady segued into one about xander . serena would n't confirm xander 's lie so he had to come up with a new way to convince abe and roman that he was in chicago . |

[ tense music ] maggie : do you think she 's playing me too ? i mean , is that why you said that we 're both at risk ? brady : yeah , i 'm convinced of it . maggie : because of this incident with this bernard person ? i mean -- i mean , just because he is n't what summer said he was does n't really mean that he -- he was n't really threatening her . brady : maggie . [ melancholy music ] maggie : she 's had such a hard life . well , i really believe that she was trying to make a connection with me . brady : i used to think that too , maggie , and now i just think she was using you . as much as i hate to say it , i think grandfather -- he was right all along about her . maggie : i find this so hard to believe . she 's been so sweet to me since i -- i got hurt . she -- she helps me with my therapy . she 's patient and she 's kind , and i ca n't -- i just ca n't believe that she had an ulterior motive . brady : hey . if you need confirmation , you can ask summer yourself , 'cause she admitted everything to me last night . summer : i came to tell you the same thing , maggie . but i can see you already know . theresa : okay , good . [ sighs ] now i can get a little work done while you sleep . [ dramatic music ] theresa : okay . victor : this your idea of being a devoted mother ? deimos : a lot has happened since we had that argument on the riverbank . i was really hurt by some of the things you said . it felt like a betrayal . nicole : well , you seem to have handled it well , because you 're standing friend of mine . deimos : i had to take shelter somewhere . nicole : yeah , of course you did . i 'm about to be charged with your murder , and you 're telling me your troubles ? and you -- you seemed pretty surprised when i showed up here instead of calling . were you ever gon na tell me he 's alive ? chloe : of course i was . parker : mom , can i go back to jason 's house ? chloe : uh , honey , what are you talking about ? you just got home . parker : but we want to play some more . please ? his mom said it 's okay . she 's in the -- hi , nicole ! nicole : hey , little man . how 's it going ? parker : why are you here ? chloe : uh , well , i will explain that , but let 's go talk to jason 's mom . parker : will you be here when i get back ? nicole : i 'll try . i miss you , buddy . parker : bye , nicole . i miss you . nicole : okay , see you soon . chloe : let 's go talk to jason 's mom . what 's this business of wanting play some more ? nicole : okay , start talking . [ dramatic music ] summer : okay , okay . i lied to you about how i knew clark , but i was really scared of him . brady : scared of him ? or scared of him blowing your little scam ? summer : i was finally getting my life together when he showed up . and i knew how victor already thought of me . i figured he would turn the both of you against me ... just when i found family and maybe even ... [ crying ] love . i am so , so sorry . i really wanted you to think i was a good person . brady : what was your cut of the 50 grand that i gave you ? what was it ? summer : not a cent . brady : clark 's sister has reported him missing . where is he ? summer : i - i have no idea . brady : she 's still lying . summer : i swear to you -- i swear to you that everything i have just said -- it 's the truth . theresa : i dozed off for , like , 30 seconds , okay ? i have n't been getting enough sleep lately . victor : so you thought you 'd catch up on it with your defenseless baby lying there in a stroller . i still marvel at the fact that brady is willing to throw away his life on trash like you . theresa : i love your grandson , and i love my child , okay ? i 've just been working really hard , and i 've been stressed lately , and like any exhausted mother , i just dozed off without meaning to , all right , so -- you do n't believe me . if anybody had come by and tried to take my kid , i would 've been all over them in an instant . and if you 'd tried to take my child away from me in order to teach me some kind of lesson , you would be face down on this pavement right now , old man . i 'd off you in a second . [ tense music ] chad : jj , i 'm , uh -- i 'm still here at shady hills , and i 'm coming up with nothing . well , i , um -- i hope you 're having better luck out in the field . jj : chad . chad : hey , i was just leaving you a message . what are you doing here ? why are n't you looking for abby ? jj : come here . chad : what ? jj : down the road at the farm , in the barn . and she must have left it there chad : [ stammering ] why would she go to a farm ? why not come straight home ? jj : i think she 's scared and humiliated , chad : no , she just told me maybe -- maybe something scared her , or maybe somebody has her , and she just left that as a clue for us to find . jj : okay , it 's -- it 's possible , but we also have to consider the possibility that she 's on her own . chad : no . jj : she does n't want to be found . chad : i do n't believe that , away from us again -- not after everything that we 've been through . i 'm gon na find her . jj : listen , there 's something chad : what ? i have proof . i searched the dumpsters outside , and i found the driveway security footage from the time the fire started . it shows abigail lighting an aerosol can . there 's a court order now , and once we find her , she 'll be transferred to a state facility . [ ominous music ] very long . she 's got to get back to salem . parker : is deimos gon na stay ? chloe : i do n't know . parker : i like him . i think you like him , too . chloe : i do , but it does n't matter how much we like him . i 'm not sure if it 's possible i 'm gon na stick around . deimos : do you remember the last time we saw each other ? even though most of what you said to me up to that point was an absolute lie ? i was ready to give you my heart . nicole : you might have been ready to give me your heart , but you were gon na marry kate . and you wanted me to be your bit on the side . deimos : no , i wanted a hell of a lot more than that . and if you had given me indication whatsoever , i would 've made it happen -- for both of us ! nicole : what you would 've done , deimos , does n't help me right now . deimos : nicole ? i 'm alive and well . [ tense music ] nicole : well , it will be when you tell that to the police . they need to know that it was kate who pushed you in the river . she heard the things you say to me , and she wanted you dead . deimos : it 's all true . nicole : great , so what are you gon na do about it ? andré : would you like some more eggs ? sausage ? kate : no , thank you . i 'm good . andré : hmm . , that gaze- into me . what could you possibly be thinking ? kate : i 'm thinking that you 're up to something , and you 're gon na need cash to pull it off . do you have any idea of how tired i am of people trying to play me ? if you want to get somewhere with me , then you better start by telling the truth . victor : you 'd off me ? well , reassuring to know that beneath that `` devoted mother , adoring helpmate `` persona that you 've concocted for yourself , there still beats the heart of a hopped - up gun moll . [ mocking shudder ] theresa : i will stop anyone who tries to keep brady and tate and me from being a happy family . victor : you may have gotten an engagement ring out of brady , but you do n't know the meaning of the word family . theresa : neither do you . sure , you go around braying about what family means to you , but that does n't stop you from putting down brady every chance you get . you tell him he 's naive , incompetent , stupid . you think i 'm a calculating woman , but it did n't take much calculating to figure out that brady needed to be with someone who thinks he hung the moon . victor : you think i hate you because you 're beneath me , brady could do better . the real reason that i his because you 're filled with poison , and you destroy the life of anyone you touch . i pray for the day when brady finally sees you for what you are and what you always have been . and mark my words , that day will come . [ dramatic music ] brady : you want us to believe one word you say ? summer : i swear , i -- i do n't know where clark is . all i know is , he took your money , and he left town . i 'm sorry to be such a disappointment to you -- and to you . if it was n't for you , [ crying ] i love you both , but i know that does n't matter to you now . maggie : [ whimpering ] brady : shh . it 's for the bon the search . i want every inch of salem covered , and if you do n't find her , you search the entire state , and then the country . report to me . do you understand ? i do n't want the police to know anything about this . from now on , i 'm the only one that knows anything about this search . do you understand ? good . [ dramatic music ] maggie : she 's gone ! this ca n't be happening ! brady : maggie , maggie -- no , no , no ! maggie : i ca n't lose her ! get off me ! brady : stop , stop , stop ! stop . maggie : [ sobbing ] janet : hey , i 've been looking summer : now is not a good time . janet : yeah , well , too bad . everything you 've told me has been a lie , and i want you to know that you better get used to seeing me around , 'cause i 'm not going anywhere until i find out . deimos : despite everything , even in your anger , you are absolutely beautiful . nicole : no , do n't . do n't do that , deimos . i am fighting for my life here . and you have troubles too . kate 's claiming that you were married . she even came up with phony paperwork saying she 's your wife , and she inherits everything . do you know she 's living in your house , and she 's running your company ? deimos : so i 've been told . nicole : by chloe . deimos : i have n't been in contact with anyone else . nicole : and why is that ? why have n't you gone back to salem to set things straight ? deimos : i was recovering , nicole . i was on the brink of death . i took a pretty bad fall , remember ? nicole : no , i do n't remember , because i walked away . and unfortunately , kate conveniently dropped her cell phone . she videotaped us , you know that ? yup , she gave just enough for the cops to see the argument between us , ending with me shoving you supposedly to your death . deimos : so now you can say i 'm alive . nicole : oh , yeah , sure . the only thing that 's gon na fix this is you ! you have to clear this up ! do n't see any point in lying to you . kate : well , that 's refreshing . andré : you see , i made a deal with someone , and now i have to live up to my end of the bargain . kate : so who 's the someone , and what do you have to do ? andré : that i ca n't tell you . what i can tell you , though , is that i wanted to do this anyway . it requires cash and the right connections , and i 'm short on both , whereas you 're not . so if you 're so inclined . [ dramatic music ] maggie : oh , victor , i do n't know what to do . victor : it 's about summer , is n't it ? brady : so you know . victor : word on the street is , there 's this con man -- former colleague of summer 's -- who disappeared . the sister 's in town making a big stink , saying it 's all summer 's fault . maggie : well , summer says that 's not true . victor : i do n't know what i 'm going to have to do to convince you sweet , beautiful people that you have to start listening to me . brady : that -- that 's great . you know , she 's in real pain , and you 're gon na sit here and say , `` i told you so . `` victor : she would n't be in pain if it were n't for you . you know what a big heart she has , yet you dragged this creature into her life . maggie : no , i brought summer into my life , victor . i gave birth to her . victor : and she would be in the past , where she belongs . instead , you drag her out of the ocean and bring her home with you . brady : just -- i was trying to do what daniel wanted me to do . victor : daniel is dead , god rest his soul . and we 'd all much better off if you just left summer in the pacific to drown . and while you 're at it , you can throw theresa in with her . maggie : victor , that is enough ! [ somber music ] maggie : [ sobbing ] nicole : so you 're gon na come back with me , right ? deimos : i 'm really sorry for everything you 've been through . it all could 've been so different . nicole : if only i had said being your mistress was a dream come true . you 're not gon na help me , are you ? i would n't go to bed with you , so you 're just gon na let me swing ? oh , you really are a bastard . deimos : you are so wrong about me . nicole : about the kind of man you are ? no , i think i 'm right on the money . deimos : no , you 're wrong about me not going back to salem with you ! [ dramatic music ] nicole : you mean you will ? deimos : on one condition . nicole : well , what 's your condition , huh ? just want to do it right here , right now ? i 'm sure chloe wo n't mind . deimos : i do n't want just sex with you , and you know it ! you gave me the impression that you cared about me -- that you wanted a life with me . and because of that , i offered you a ring . i offered you my heart . and what did you give me in return ? nicole : because i 'd rather be able to sit at home waiting for you to call while you play house with kate in that mansion ! i would never have done that to you . nicole : well , you still have n't told me what y nicole : i told you the truth . i need you to come back to salem with me and clear my name . deimos : i want you to let your guard down , nicole . i want you to nic deimos : about me ! look , i understand you 're angry to blame for what you 've been that 's still drawn to me . and i need to know -- am i right about that , or am i wrong ? chad : dimera . what -- no , no , that 's not possible . there 's no way she was spotted on the property . i searched the entire house myself . all right , well , who claims they saw her ? get him up here now . i want to speak to him . jj : what 's going on ? chad : jj , uh , what 's going on -- well , a guard says that he saw abby enter a side door this morning when he was getting off of his shift . jj : why were n't we notified ? chad : 'cause he did n't think anything of it . jj : so she 's either hiding in the house or on the compound . chad : right , yeah , but that 's not possible , because i searched the entire house the second i found out she escaped the clinic . jj : what about the tunnels ? chad : uh , yeah , that 's worth a shot . [ dramatic music ] victor : i pray for the day when brady finally sees you for what you are and what you always have been . and mark my words , that day will come . theresa : brady . hey , i did n't expect you to be home so soon . brady : i have to tell you something . theresa : i think i know what it is . brady : theresa , you do n't look so good . when -- when 's the last time you slept ? theresa : i do n't know , i think i got maybe a few hours last night , and -- look , this morning , i just -- brady -- brady : what , what , what ? what happened ? theresa : you mean you do n't -- you do n't know ? brady : you might as well tell me -- or i 'll find out on my own . nicole : how could i have feelings for you after what you did to maggie ?

[ sighs ] eric : i understand . but i have a very strange feeling that something went wrong . nicole : you got that right . eric : maybe we should compare notes . nicole : i do n't want to compare notes . i want you to leave . eric : nicole , this is my room . nicole : fine . fine , i 'll leave . eric : nicole , please . nicole : you know what ? i 'm gon na go downstairs and get some answers . eric : i 'm coming with you . chad : how did you have the amulet when i buried it on the island ? sonny : i saw you bury it . and when you left , i went back and dug it up . gabi : you dug it up ? ! after all the misery that that thing has brought us ? why ? sonny : because i wanted to sell it . rafe : hang on . what is this -- this amulet ? chad : it 's an ancient artifact . deimos wanted to steal it 'cause it 's worth a lot of cash . hope : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . how -- how did deimos know that you had the amulet ? sonny : because we got into a fight at the hospital when i was visiting paul . it fell out of my pocket , and i was n't sure if he saw it or not . rafe : guess we know now . sonny : deimos has the amulet . hope : okay , okay , but it was n't yours to have . [ laughing ] or yours . it was stolen . sonny : it was n't even about the money for me . i was keeping it away from deimos . chad : amen , but now he 's one step ahead of us , and deimos has gotten away with it again . eric : deimos has gotten away with what ? hope : we think that -- that , um ... that deimos drugged all of our drinks tonight so he could steal a valuable artifact that -- that , um , that sonny had in his possession . nicole : wh ... deimos did this ? he 's the reason -- rafe : listen , okay ? everyone , we 're gon na get deimos , okay ? now , we 've already -- we got -- we 've got him on , um , drug charges . we 're gon na find him . chad : we can put the whole night behind us . gabi : yeah . sounds like a good idea . chad : mm - hmm . um , chad , can i -- can i talk to you in private ? [ eerie music ] gabi : uh , you have some -- you have some lipstick on your collar . chad : sorry ? gabi : that shade 's not mine . it 's not my lipstick , but it 's on your collar , right there . yup . chad : i do n't know what you 're talking about . gabi : that 's abigail 's lipstick , so how did it get there ? chad : um , i do n't ... uh ... ah , look , gabi ... [ clears throat ] gabi : did you hook up with her ? is that why you were in abigail 's room ? chad : no , i did n't -- i , well , i do n't know , because i do n't remember , 'cause we were all drugged , so -- gabi : well , maybe abigail remembers . abby , do you know what happened in your room ? abigail : no . no , i , i do n't remember -- chad : you do n't remember how you woke up next to jj . jj : okay , look , guys . a lot of us woke up in strange places tonight thanks to deimos . and if i could remember something , believe me , i 'd ... abigail : what ? wh - what is it ? jj : i 'm beginning to -- i 'm getting , like , quick flashes of -- of memory . chad : about what ? jj : gabi , i think you and i danced . gabi : we danced ? chad : is that true ? you guys danced ?

[ tense music ] rafe : we 're gon na find the bastard . and we 're gon na put him away this time . gabi : are you , rafe ? because i do n't believe you anymore . you 've told me you were gon na put him away after he kidnapped me , and then he pumped me full of poison . i mean , i almost died , and he 's still out there . chad : hey , maybe i should take you home . rafe : no . no . you ca n't leave . not yet . abigail : you can lay down in my room , if you want . i do n't want to go . i -- no , i need some air , actually .

[ stammering ] so one of us must have killed him ? eli : there 's a light blood trail at the curtains . it starts over there . rafe : huh . so it looks like whoever killed him did it in his room . [ tense music ] hope : commissioner . it 's detective brady . there 's been a murder at the martin house . raines : as you 've probably all figured out , you 're all suspects in his murder . we 're gon na have emt go around and check each of you out . then we 're gon na question you individually . if you would like an attorney present , that is your right . as of now , i need this room cleared so my people can do their work . chad : okay , so we can go home then ? raines : i 'm afraid not . you can go anywhere on these grounds , but you will not leave this property . sonny : for how long ? 'cause this night has been hell for all of us . can we just come down to the station in the morning ? raines : you are to stay on the premises , mr. kiriakis . despite the questionable character of this victim , this is still a murder investigation . someone stuck a knife in deimos kiriakis 's chest . and whoever did is gon na be charged and prosecuted to the full extent of the law . [ solemn music ] abigail : yeah , mm - hmm . no , no , i 'm okay , mom . mm - hmm . um ... you know , i do n't know . i do n't think they 're gon na let anybody out of here , because they 're just ... they 're questioning us about deimos 's death . i do n't -- i do n't know what 's going on . mm - hmm . all right , well , i 'll call you as soon as i can . i love you , too . i will . okay . bye . chad : she okay watching thomas ? abigail : huh ? oh . um ... yeah . she said she -- she can watch him as long as we need her to . chad : good . abigail : [ sighs ] i just have wished deimos dead so many times . chad : we all have . abigail : i just never really thought that it would ... who do you think did it ? chad : i do n't know . i do n't care . abigail : well , i just hope that nobody else has to go to prison . chad : we have a new beginning . yeah ? abigail : chad , i think that -- gabi : what 's going on ? eli : do you remember something about tonight ? lani : i was angry . jj : angry about what ? lani : you and gabi . i saw you with her . jj : okay , all right . you probably saw us dancing , but i promise you , it meant nothing . gabi and i are over . she 's with chad . i barely even -- i barely even remember it . eli : after you saw jj and gabi dancing , what 'd you do ? lani . do you remember what you did ? lani : one important thing . i kissed you .

[ chuckles ] i might have known . she never did like her name . thought it sounded too country - fied . i said , `` little girl , you are country . `` so what does she go by now ? kate : jordan . jordan ridgeway . clyde : jordan ridgeway . [ laughs ] imagine my little girl with a fancy name like that . kate : i have another -- another picture . it 's a young man . do you know him ? clyde : that 's my boy . ben : what are you thinking about ? jordan : how to tell rafe this without leaving anything out . ben : everything ? jordan , if you do , he 's gon na want to go after him , maybe even arrest him . jordan : he ca n't . there 's no proof . ben : maybe . but i 'm a witness . i heard him threaten you . he said if you tried to run away , he 'd kill you . will new twizzlers mixed berry bites ever end their rivalry eric : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to put you on the spot . daniel : no , no , no . i 'm sorry for barking at you . i have n't said anything because i know you have a lot on your mind . but jennifer and i are taking a break . eric : did something happen ? daniel : no , no . not exactly . eric : well , whose idea ? daniel : mine . eric : you 're angry at her . daniel : yeah , be easier if i was . eric : i do n't understand . daniel : well ... [ sighs ] well , you 're gon na hear about it eventually because it 's about you ... her telling you what nicole did , her doing that because she did n't believe that i would . eric : what does that mean ? daniel : that i gave nicole several different opportunities to do the right thing . and jennifer felt that i would never stop giving her those chances . but i am trying to see it from jennifer 's point of view , but for her to think that about me , that i would n't do right by you ... i love her , eric . i do . but this is just ... i do n't know . this is just a rough time . i hope you understand . eric : daniel , you do n't have to convince me that love is not always enough . nicole : why did i change my mind ? [ sighs ] daniel : we 're not together anymore . nicole : i 'm here . and i told you what i know . is n't that what 's important ? i mean , if you -- if you want more details , i have a very good memory . i can tell you what drugs were used on eric . i can tell you what effects they produce . i - i can describe eric 's condition when i found him in the hotel room . i can tell you how kristen dimera planned this whole thing and how it was all about getting back at eric 's mother . i can include that in my statement when i write it up . but after you read it , will eric finally be cleared ? white : well , your statement will be seriously considered , but this process is intentionally very slow . nicole : why ? what else do you need to know ? white : you know , actually , there is something . nicole : okay . white : ms. walker , if you had come to me immediately with what you know , if you had n't destroyed the other documents , you could have helped eric immensely . so why did n't you ? why did you withhold this information for so long ? nicole : i did it for love . jj : hey , what took you so long ? paige : i had to get away from my mom . jj : did she tell you what 's going on ? paige : [ sighs ] yeah . your mom told you ? jj : crazy , right ? paige : it 's the worst . jj : one thing seems pretty clear to me , even more than last night . paige : yeah , our moms hate each other 's guts . aiden : how well do you know this eve donovan ? jennifer : aiden , i have known her since high school . and i 'm telling you i have n't seen her for years , and all of the sudden , she has resurfaced . and you know what ? for a brief moment last night , i really thought that she had changed , but she has n't . she is worse than ever . and now she has this claim that she -- aiden : yeah , i see . that she has a claim on a percentage of the royalties from your husband 's book , yeah . jennifer : yes , but it is a totally bogus claim . i mean , jack set up a foundation for all the proceeds to go to veterans . and the book is selling really well . his agent is negotiating movie rights . so , all of the sudden , she shows up out of the blue , and she is trying to get her hands on every dime she can get . aiden , please tell me she ca n't get away with this . theresa : oh , come on ! all i 'm asking for is a simple dun & bradstreet rating . [ knock at door ] theresa : oh , there 's brady . ca n't have him seeing this . [ knocking at door ] theresa : i 'm coming . you . eve : nice to see you too , little sister . let 's catch up . mom : good luck , sweetie ! i love you ! girl : i love you too . white : let me be direct . if you truly loved eric -- nicole : then i should 've told him the truth from the beginning . well , let me be direct too . that 's how you see it . but did i really do anything wrong , or did i just get caught ? who 's to say what 's best for eric ? white : would n't that person be eric himself ? nicole : well , you have your opinion , your excellency , and i have mine . white : you 'll be in my prayers . nicole : do i get to pick what you pray for ? eric : for what it 's worth , i think jennifer was wrong . i know you would tell me the truth about nicole . daniel : well , it 's worth a lot . but the last thing i want you to do is take sides . eric : i just told you what i believe . the truth has to count for something , does n't it ? daniel : well , it does , but ... it does . aiden : well , this lawyer examined the agreement between your husband and ms . donovan , and he finds it legally binding . jennifer : yeah , but , aiden , it was signed years and years ago . jack had no idea he was gon na write a book . aiden : right , but it does n't change the fact that he made a promise to ms . donovan . jennifer : he would have promised her anything to get out of that marriage . aiden : she was holding that over his head ? could be construed as extortion , i guess . jennifer : wait , you really think so ? aiden : well , let 's not get ahead of ourselves , okay ? but i 'll tell you what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na call that lawyer ... jennifer : okay . aiden : and , you know , maybe there 's just a simple solution to this . jennifer : i would like to think so . but with eve , nothing is ever simple . theresa : i 'm not playing this game with you until you tell me why you 're here . eve : oh , well , i 'm just doing what i was asked to do . when daddy found out i was coming back to salem , he begged me to check in on his law - breaking , drug- dependent , overdosing little bundle of joy . and it seems to me like the only thing that 's changed around here is , like , uh , your address . theresa : well , where are you coming from , eve ? hmm ? a fellowship at princeton ? or did some guy dump you again ? because i know for a fact that men go through you like traffic through a tunnel . it was the topic of conversation at the donovan homestead growing up . eve : you done ? theresa : when it comes to screwing up , you 're the gold standard . i 'll never top you . eve : oh , now ... do n't sell yourself short , pretty little thing . but i do n't know . i think maybe you need to get some better moisturizer , because you 're aging . or you know what ? maybe it 's the drugs . just sayin ' . theresa : you know , i was fine not knowing that you were back in salem . and i will be fine if i never see you again . here you go . it 's not like we ever bonded . eve : well , that 's because i did n't want my daughter -- oh , did i mention that she was , uh , accepted into stanford ? i did n't want her to be around a bad influence . theresa : oh , g -- mmm . a bad influence ? well , it 's a little too late to be worrying about that . jj : so your mom told you about the thing with my dad 's book ? the royalties ? paige : i ca n't believe it . jj : it just seems like my dad wrote the book . he knew where he wanted the money to go . that should be it . paige : so my mom has no claim . jj : not that i can see . paige : then open your eyes , because your dad married her . jordan : i 'll just tell rafe that if he goes after him , it 'll come back on me . when we took off , i stole that money to get us started . ben : jordan , after what he put us through , he owed us that money . jordan : i think so too , but -- ben : he ca n't go to the police and talk about the money . he 'd have to explain where he got it . but that would n't stop him from killing to get it back . clyde : so you 've seen them both ? they 're together still ? kate : do you mean that when tammy sue ran away , that she -- clyde : i did n't want to say anything before . you see , tammy sue was of age when she took off . but ollie , my boy , he was a minor . but i do n't think he went with her of his own free will . that makes it kidnapping . kate : did you report it to the police ? clyde : no , my friends all told me to , but i did not want to get tammy sue in a bunch of trouble . kate : okay , even though she may have taken your son against his will ? clyde : look , if she took off with him , it 's because she thought i did them wrong . leaving them be was just my way of making it up to them . but you know where they are . is n't that right , kate ? kate : i do . i do . do you know of a place called salem ? ben : do you think there 's just a chance that maybe he 's given up ? jordan : he tracked us to houston . we just barely got out of there . ben : yeah , but that 's been almost two years since that happened . maybe the trail 's gone cold . jordan : he has n't given up , and he never will . he is just biding his time until he gets another lead . clyde : well , salem seems like it 's in a real nice part of the country . maybe they can make a good life for themselves there . kate : mmm . now that you know where they are , are you going to contact them ? and maybe see them ? visit them ? clyde : well , if they want to see me , they know where i am . but they must have gotten jobs now and made some friends . kate : yeah , well , they do both have jobs , and i 'm sure they have friends . clyde : huh . well , all i can hope is that they 're happy . kate : yeah . clyde : there 's one thing i 'm wondering , though . kate : what 's that ? clyde : from salem , you 'd have to fly into st. louis or little rock , and then drive i do n't know how many hours . what made you do all that just to ask me about my kids ? daniel : ooh , it 's hot out here . better eat that fast , or it 's gon na melt . aiden : hey , daniel . daniel : hey . uh , parker , uh , this is aiden . aiden , this is my son , parker . aiden : hey , parker . nice to meet you . is that ice cream good ? daniel : uh , he 's in the zone . aiden : yeah , i guess so . um , can i talk to you just for a minute or -- daniel : yeah , yeah . okay , yeah . hey , um , you stay right here , and i 'm gon na be right over there , okay ?

i mean , the last thing you want is your kid carrying around memories of things that you did , i mean , things that upset them , you know ? eve : okay , i told paige to stay away from you , and i made it very , very clear to her -- theresa : hey , do n't get your knickers in a knot , okay ? 'cause paige followed your bossy little orders to the letter -- not that she 'd even recognize me if we bump into each other . eve : okay , then why the snarky comments about the bad influences ? theresa : well , i do still recognize her . and , uh , i 've seen her around town , and trust me , i 'm the least of her problems . eve : make your point . theresa : huh . that 's interesting . paige has n't told you about her new boyfriend ? eve : [ scoffs ] my gosh . i know she 's seeing jj deveraux . i mean , is that the point you 're trying to make here ? theresa : he is quite the catch . eve : he 's a high - school boy . how do you even know him ? theresa : i 'll tell you exactly how i know him . because before he was climbing all over paige , he was climbing all over me . jj : do n't tell me that just because my dad signed some paper a zillion years ago -- paige : could you just listen to me ? jj : you do know that she 's not taking the money from us ? she is taking the money from a foundation my dad set up to help veterans . paige : she 's not taking it ! she 's just asking for what your dad agreed to give her . jj : you do n't know what my dad agreed to , 'cause he 's dead ! paige : [ sighs ] you and i have to stop this right now , or there wo n't be anything left of us . nicole : eric . i just came from a meeting with the bishop . i 'm sure he 'll fill you in on what we talked about . but just in case he does n't ... i told him the whole story ... the true story . so , duke , what do you think of our new bush 's baked beans video game ? nicole : are you gon na say anything ? eric : yes , thank you for doing that . i know you did n't have to . nicole : i hope it helps . eric : the bishop has the facts now , and the rest is out of our hands . i hope you feel good about doing what you did . nicole : uh , that 's it ? eric : i ca n't honestly think of anything else that we need to say to each other . good - bye , nicole . daniel : aiden ? you okay ? aiden : yeah , no , it 's just thinking about the situation , you know , with your -- your son . i 'm sure you 're handling it very well . but still , it 's got to be difficult for him ... for you . daniel : you , uh -- you have a kid too , right ? aiden : right , yeah , i do .

[ sighs ] my mom keeps saying she wants to talk to me about you . she says she 's not comfortable because she does n't know enough about you . jj : 'cause you 're still keeping her in the dark . paige : yeah . jj : but it 's gon na be okay , 'cause i 'm different from what i once was , and now i 'll actually have the chance to show her that , so nothing is gon na come between us ... nothing . eve : what are you talking about ? theresa : okay . jj ... eve : yes . theresa : paige 's new beau ? i knew him way before she did . and trust me , he 's only interested in two things -- getting high and getting lucky . oh , uh , i 'm sorry . did i -- did i tell you that he was here the night that i overdosed ? yeah , that 's who precious paige has been hooking up with . well , looks like she 's going the way all of the donovan girls end up going . eve : like hell she will . kate : so i am the one who arranged for jordan to move from birmingham to salem . clyde : why would you do that ? kate : she 's a physical therapist . i hired her to treat a friend of mine , and she became involved with that friend . but when i asked her to talk about herself , she was , um , very secretive , you know ? i - i really felt like she was hiding something . and i do n't want her to hurt my friend . clyde : hmm . well , are n't you a nice lady to look out for a friend like that ? but , you know , tammy sue , she would n't hurt a fly . kate : well , good . i 'm relieved , then . clyde : well , i guess you 'll be wantin ' to start back to salem . could i hold on to these pictures ? it just warms my heart to look at them . kate : absolutely . yes , please do . and , um , i have contact information here , just in case you think of anything else i might need to know . clyde : uh , no , ma'am . i think you 've got the whole story . kate : well , i guess i 'll just get the check , then . clyde : uh , do -- would like one favor , though . uh , seein ' as i was so helpful to you ... do n't tell them that you saw me . no reason to upset them . kate : i wo n't . you ran away from home . is that really all you 're hiding ? ben : rafe is a cop . you said he used to be an fbi agent . if the worst did happen -- jordan : rafe can not help us . no one can . there 's no fighting back with this man . ben : jordan , we 're not kids anymore . jordan : you have never really seen what this man is really capable of . and i just pray to god that you never do . | the guy kate talked to ended up recognizing jordan . nicole wanted to talk to the bishop about what happened to eric . jj was upset that eve wanted part of the royalties from jack 's book . eve and paige talked about the money that they are owed . the guy kate talked to remembered jordan when she was a girl and when she left town . clyde introduced himself to kate and wanted to know how she knew his little girl . nicole told the bishop the truth about kristen raping eric . kate told clyde that mary sue goes by jordan now . kate showed him a picture of ben too . jordan and ben talked about telling rafe the truth about the past . |

[ hisses ] theresa : brady , i 'm not an executive like you are , okay ? what i make at the hospital -- it 's never gon na be enough . so why slave away for a pittance when i could be spending time with my son ? brady : theresa , working parents -- they manage to raise well - adjusted kids all the time . theresa : wait . you still want me to work 40 hours a week like i was ? brady : what i do n't want is for you to be financially dependent on me . theresa : brady , i hate that job . everybody at the hospital hates my guts . brady : why do you think that is , hmm ? if you do n't like your job , theresa , then go find something else , but do me a favor . do n't quit your job at the hospital before you get another job , because it 's easier to get one when you already have one . theresa : oh , well , thanks for the career tip . brady : no problem . by the way , i 'm sure anne milbauer will give you a glowing reference . theresa : oh , you 're just enjoying this , are n't you ? brady : i want to drum it in your head that this whole living situation is temporary . now , what happens after you leave here , that is completely up to you . have no illusions about that . ben : so , chad , how 's it going ? chad : do you care ? ben : i guess i owe you an apology for the way i was last time we talked . you know what ? i probably made things a lot more tense than they needed to be . chad : do n't worry about it . ben : look ... [ chuckles ] we 're never gon na be friends , but we are gon na run into each other . so i think the best thing we can do is to just try and ... keep it civil . jj : i was out of line just now . i 'm sorry . jennifer : it 's okay . just ... do n't say that ever again , that you are , you know ... jj : yeah , that happened to grandma laura a long time ago . well , she 's got it together now . jennifer : yeah . but when you go through something so awful with someone that you love so much , someone so brilliant and talented ... it stays with you , you know . and it was -- it was really sad . and it 's still hard to talk about after all these years , so i do n't want to talk about it . [ chuckles ] i want to talk about you , and i want you to know that i am here for you . and you start your new job with sonny tomorrow , right ? jj : yeah . jennifer : okay , so just have some fun today , you know . not doing the wrong thing with the wrong people . just have fun . jj : mom , i hear you . jennifer : okay . jj : really . look , i love you . i do n't know what i would do without you . jennifer : i love you too , honey . eve : have you got a name for me ? marlena : well , i do have some ideas for you , but i want to make sure i get the right person , so i have a couple more questions . eve : okay , shoot . marlena : you said that you had done something unforgiveable that involved your daughter . and i 'm wondering , could you talk a little bit more about that ? eve : well , it also involves jennifer and her son . marlena : i see . eve : and it 's -- well , it 's ... it 's just hard to talk about because it 's -- it 's very complicated . marlena : is it uncomfortable talking to me or talking to anybody about it ? marlena : oh , no , no , you -- you are really , really wonderful . it -- it 's just it 's ... it 's hard to talk to anyone who , well , knows jennifer 's family so well -- is close with them . marlena : i see . eve : yes , and i know that you go way back with her family , right ? i mean , you were the one that helped treat jennifer 's mother when she had that breakdown or whatever that was , right ? marlena : i ca n't discuss other people with you . you know that . but i 'm glad to talk to you about what you need , what will help you . why do n't you talk about your feelings just for a moment ? but not about the things that are causing you anxiety . eve : okay . all right . i want my daughter back ... my little girl . and i 'll do whatever it takes ... anything . mark : is there anything i could do to change your mind ? i 'd really like to buy you a drink . paige : i 'm sorry , but i think i wasted your time . mark : yeah . daphne : what happened ? i mean , he 's too old for you , but he did n't look as ancient as he did on his profile . paige : eh , he just was n't right , but thanks for being here . daphne : yeah . he 's not gon na be a problem , is he ? paige : no , no , no , he seems like a nice guy , and he got the message , so ... daphne : okay . what are you doing ? paige : starting all over again . brady : look ... our love and concern for tate is the only thing that we share . i am happy to pay for a nanny that will help both of us . i 'm happy to pay for whatever tate needs . but what i wo n't be doing is giving you money for you to spend on yourself . theresa : oh , my god . you still think of me as some low - life little gold digger , do n't you ? brady : actually , i try not to think of you at all . hayley : i 'm sorry to interrupt . brady : what is it , hayley ? hayley : it 's time for the baby 's bottle . theresa : oh , i 'll -- brady : i will be happy to give it to him . hayley : okay , should i bring him down here , or do you want to go up to the nursery ? theresa : what the hell are you looking at me for ? do whatever you want , like you always do . excuse me . chad : what 's got you in such a good mood ? ben : abigail 's moving in with me today . chad : really ? ben : hmm . abigail : yeah . chad : congratulations . ben : thanks , man . i 'm a lucky guy . abigail : i have to get to work , so ... ben : yeah , okay , sure , sure . abigail : i 'm gon na take off , okay ? ben : i 'll see you later . abigail : bye . ben : bye .

while you were busy globe trotting all over the place with your little , beautiful female assistants . stefano : you know , this is getting tedious for me , chad , huh ? i 've answered the same question repeatedly , but you never , never are satisfied . chad : i guess that 's because even though i want to believe you , i just ca n't . abigail : `` i 'm writing to you because as far as i know , you and your mother are bridget 's only known loved ones . she often tells me about the time she spent caring for you as a child when you and your mother were living in ireland was the happiest of her life . she treasures your letters and the pictures she has of you . she never wants to trouble anyone , the poor soul , so i doubt that she 's mentioned in her letters that her health has completely taken a turn for the worse . eve : i am so sorry that that took so long . that 's all right -- i 've got one more person who might work very well for you . eve : nobody 's gon na be able to help me , marlena . i was just so sure that that was my daughter on the phone , so i called her back without even looking but she says , `` no , mom , that was n't me , and it 's never gon na be me because i could care less about you . i never want to see you again , much less talk to you . `` marlena : gosh , i am so sorry about all this . eve : my life without my daughter . how am i gon na go on ?

tony : no , we 've had this conversation before . i only feel responsible to the extent that she injured herself in my home . lucas : yeah , well , do n't worry about it . when it comes to sami , it 's always my fault . tony : no , no , no . that 's not true . i feel i can open sami 's eyes to that which she ca n't see , even though it 's right in front of her eyes . brady : larry welch is dead . brady : look at this . nicole : really ? brady : yeah . it says there was some kind of freak accident when he was being transported to the maximum security prison . the vehicle exploded . victor : yes , his body was burned beyond recognition . brady : so , are you suspicious that he may not be dead ?

[ scene_break ] chloe : but you had nothing to do with that fire , philip . that 's why it 's so important that the police find morgan 's father and prove that he 's the one behind it . philip : and if they ca n't ? chloe : i know what i saw . philip : but you did n't see him set that fire . it 's only speculation without any real proof . chloe : he smelled like gasoline . philip : so , you 're making it up . chloe : i 'm not . philip : can you prove it ? yeah , that 's what i thought . you should have told me what you were gon na say , chloe . chloe : i 'm really sorry , philip . philip : let 's -- let 's not talk about it anymore . what 's done is done .

[ scene_break ] julie : doug behaved like any father who loves and worries about his daughter . hope : except daddy did n't have anything to worry about . julie : well , as it turned out . and he came around , as loving fathers do ... especially when they see just a little bit of their own personality in the man their daughter is dating . you know , darling , your father was a bit of a bad boy in the good old days . a light - fingered confidence man and the world 's most charming liar . so , naturally , he was a bit suspicious of , uh , just about anybody . [ scene_break ] doug : so , eventually , i came to see how truly you loved her , how deeply she was in love with you , and so i gave you my blessing . bo : well , not exactly . doug : what are you talking about ? bo : is that really how you remember it ? doug : i did n't kill you . bo : [ laughs ] okay . doug : pretty much the same thing , right ? bo : you got me there . doug : okay . so , you really think that this doctor , who just happened to save your life , is wrong for your daughter ? bo : ah . nice . no , he could probably make her happy , yeah . doug : yeah . yeah . so , the problem would be ? bo : she 's young and he is ... you know , experienced . [ scene_break ] julie : so , bo is afraid chelsea could get hurt . hope : yeah , of course he is . julie : the problem with that would be ? hope : i 'm not understanding what you 're saying here . are you saying that bo should n't be worried that this guy could break chelsea 's heart ? julie : darling , worse things could happen . doug : look , bo , you ca n't control these things , no matter how much you may want to . chelsea 's gon na follow her heart . it 'll work out or it wo n't work out . either way , it 's not gon na be up to you . julie : you know , one thing i 've learned and truly come to believe -- when two people love each other , you 've just got to let them be . hope : [ laughing ] doug : it is true what they say , bo . no matter how hard you may try to stop it , true love always finds a way . bo : [ laughing ] okay .

[ scene_break ] roman : hey , ma . sorry i 'm late . i had to wrap up some things down at the station . caroline : oh , chelsea 's just packing up everything . there are two pies left . roman : how many did you make ? caroline : enough . roman : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] i went to the cemetery this morning . caroline : i just came back . roman : do you know what i 'm gon na miss most today ? caroline : what 's that ? roman : the way pop used to take a bite out of both bo 's and my brady burgers , trying to decide which one was best . caroline : he always said he just could n't decide . roman : oh , come on , ma . ma , i saw right through that . that was just his sneaky way of getting two extra burgers without you yelling at him about his fat and cholesterol . caroline : [ laughs ] roman : so , did sami come by ? caroline : oh , yeah . she called . she 's gon na stop by alice 's . and then she heads for bo and hope 's . roman : too bad lucas ca n't come today . caroline : hmm . roman : i wonder if she 's , uh -- she gon na bring e.j . ? caroline : oh , i hope she does n't do that .

[ scene_break ] philip : i 'll be honest with you . your father 's not my favorite guy . but i believe he was working for john black against me and my father . morgan : i 'm really worried for him , philip . i mean , why would he check his bags on that flight and not get on ? philip : what ? morgan : his bags were checked on a flight to south america , but he never got on board . philip : the police told you this ? morgan : yeah , they have his bags . philip : hmm . i wonder if there was anything in it that could help them with the case . morgan : i do n't know . but i 'm sure if there was , they would tell me . i mean , it just does n't make any sense . why would he buy a ticket , check his bags , and not get on the plane ? philip : i mean , maybe he was setting up that getaway like he told you . morgan : 'cause he was frightened for his life . philip : or maybe chloe was right about seeing him on the pier . and if he did set that fire , he was getting the hell out of here so he would n't get caught by the cops . morgan : which is why i 'm so worried , philip . i mean , why would n't he get on the plane ?

[ sighs ] abe : let us begin . theresa : you know , when i was growing up , all i ever heard about was what a screw - up eve was . and then ... [ sniffs ] then i started to be compared to her . and if my parents were really mad , they 'd say , `` oh , god , you are just like eve . `` but then if they really wanted to stick it to me , it was , `` you 're not just like eve . you 're worse . `` [ scoffs ] god . no wonder i could n't wait to leave home . [ cell phone ringing ] eve : you better have something good to tell me . are you kidding ?

[ clears throat ] yes ... [ clears throat ] sami has chosen this poem especially for today . `` love is giving , not taking ... mending , not breaking ... trusting , believing , never deceiving ... patiently bearing and faithfully sharing each joy , every sorrow today and tomorrow . `` abe : thank you both . now we come to that part of the ceremony where i must ask the question , even though i feel confident i know the answer . is there anyone present who can give cause as to why elvis and samantha should not be united in marriage ? if so , raise your voice now , or forever hold your peace . abe : well , now we can get to the heart of the matter . sonny : this is it . abe : elvis ... do you come here today to this union of your own free will with the intention of being faithful in marriage to samantha for as long as you both shall live ? ej : i do . brady : i did n't mean to dredge up a bunch of bad memories for you . i 'm sorry . theresa : well , luckily , i know how to chase the blues away , huh ? brady : mm . [ inhales deeply ] twist my arm . theresa : you steer clear of my sister , okay ? she always ends up hurting people . it 's just in her nature . eve : well ... what a surprise . daniel : ah , ms . baron . eve : eve , please , eve . daniel : yes , eve , eve . got it . eve : [ laughs ] yes . i see , um , they actually let you out of the hospital . daniel : actually , i 'm on my way there now . eve : oh . daniel : and as soon as i get your test results , uh , we can schedule your surgery . eve : all right . well , as soon as you get rid of those nasty nodes and i 'm back on stage again , guess what . daniel : hmm ? eve : i 'm gon na dedicate my first song to you . daniel : oh , boy , look out . [ both laugh ] daniel : so this is good . you 're -- you 're glad to be back in salem . eve : yeah , you know , i hit a little bump in the road , but , um ... i think i can handle that . as far as the rest of it , it 's all falling right into place . are you jennifer horton ? jennifer : yes , i am . you 've just been served . jennifer : what ? what is this ? you 're being sued , ma'am , by one eve baron , over some royalties she says you owe her . good day . jennifer : [ sighs ] rafe : well , like i said , you 've definitely made a case here . hodges : i know . rafe : yeah . you know , the thing is , i 'm not that familiar with state tax laws . so is the penalty for something like this time or just a fine ? hodges : depends . but in this case ... guy 's looking at ten years , easy . you understand why i asked for you now . rafe : yeah . so you want me to get the warrant ? hodges : i want you to do more than that . you see , i read up on you . rafe : oh . hodges : thought you might like to put the cuffs on our tax - evading felon yourself , seeing that it 's ej dimera . abe : samantha ... do you come to this union of your own free will with the intention of being faithful in marriage to elvis for as long as you both shall live ? sami : [ breathing heavily ] [ continues breathing heavily ] | ej and sami 's wedding day arrived . everyone prepared for the wedding . sami was at the town square and ran into lucas and they had a nice talk . lucas agreed to go to sami 's wedding . eve and theresa continued to go back and forth with each other . eve had a brief meeting with brady . later , sami was getting ready for the wedding when she thought about ej being with abby . abby ended up being in sami 's room and sami talked to her about her relationship with ej . |
theresa : i guess a scare like that really can bring you closer . amazing . anne : question . theresa : huh ? anne : my master keys , the ones that give me access to anything in this hospital , well , they 're missing . would you happen to know anything about that ? hmm ? eve : this is absolutely perfect . all right . jennifer : oh ! oh , i 'm s -- eve : [ scoffs ] get -- just get away . justin : i do n't care how long you 've headed up your division . if you do n't change the way you do things there , you 're out ! kate : if i close my eyes , i can imagine that i 'm overhearing victor give a tongue lashing to his lowly underlings . justin : yes , i am capable of channeling my uncle . kate : okay , that was my point . justin : so if you want to keep your job at mad world , you better get your act together and right the ship . kate : do n't you snap at me just because my son 's sleeping with your wife . jj : so how well do you know that guy kyle ? bev : not very well . i mean , he basically supplies everybody now that you and rory are out of business . jj : oh , so he gets you weed ? bev : not just weed . not that i 'm into any other stuff in a serious way . why are you asking me about kyle ? jj : i do n't know . it seems like he wants something . bev : from you ? jj : it 's not a big deal . there he is . kyle : hey , guys . long time no see .

[ scoffs ] but when he said it , she did n't deny it . and it was n't just that one time either . mm - mm . they slept together more than once .

jj : look , bev and i are into being alone right now . kyle : sure . yeah . no -- no problem . later then . theresa : anne , i have no idea what happened to your master keys , okay ? anne : damn it ! i 've gotten flak for misusing them , you know , before , and now they 're just missing . theresa : okay . and naturally you assume that i have them , huh ? thanks . anne : no , i 'm not accusing you , theresa . i am merely asking you , my assistant , have you seen them ? theresa : okay , well , then , i will repeat myself . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : i do n't have your master keys , nor do i care where they are in the least because i have more important things to focus on , namely raising a child . anne : yes . and since raising that child is gon na be a bit of a challenge , given that your baby daddy wishes you did n't exist , perhaps you were looking , you know , for some pertinent documents regarding said child and using my aforementioned master keys . theresa : oh , you have completely lost it , anne . anne : really ? theresa : mm - hmm . anne : i 've lost it ? because you ca n't imagine yourself looking for something to make yourself look better in the eyes of tate 's rich and influential progenitor who rues the day he laid eyes on you , let alone made a baby with you ? theresa : wow , you know what , anne ? anne : mm . theresa : i expect everyone in this miserable town to accuse me of stuff like this , but you , you 're supposed to be my friend . anne : oh , yeah . oh , yeah , i am your friend . god help me , i am a good , loyal , and caring friend , and i do not appreciate being taken advantage of , and so ... dónde ... est * ... my keys ?

not yours or anybody else 's . what the hell are you even doing here anyway ? jennifer : i work here . eve : i know you work here . jennifer : my office is -- eve : i know where your office is . so why do n't you get the hell out of here and go to your office and leave me the hell alone ? jennifer : [ sighs ] justin : i did n't ask you here to discuss your son 's seduction of my wife . i just wanted to tell you that i 've repaired some of the damage that you caused by allowing our top designer and distributor to leave the company . kate : oh . hats off to you . justin : so now i need you to close the deal on paul narita and make him the new face of the men 's line yesterday . kate : you know , do n't think you can bully me just because you 're bullying whoever you were talking to on that -- justin : just do your job . adrienne : hey , what is going on ? abigail : do you remember bridget ? adrienne : the woman who took care of you in ireland ? sure . when you and your mom lived there . abigail : yeah . um ... apparently she 's not doing so well . adrienne : oh , honey , i 'm sorry . abigail : she , uh -- i just talked to her . she -- she said she 's doing better , but i really need to see her . she said i should come in september . you know , the village that we lived in , there 's this -- this fall festival that we all used to go to together . adrienne : that 's nice that she wants you to visit for that . unless you think it 's more serious than she 's letting on . oh , honey , is it something else ? abigail : you know , i think that it 's just -- i think it 's just reminding me of how much simpler things were back then , you know ? adrienne : no doubt life tends to get complicated , sweetheart . but you 're young , and you 're in love . you have everything to look forward to . honey , what 's got you so upset ? clyde : all right , look . you , uh , you got to get that cleaned up before abigail brings her things over . i mean , she 's still moving in , right ? you 've talked this thing through ? ben : dad , she has no idea that i know she slept with chad . clyde : she does n't know ? and you 're still letting her move in after she slept with dimera ? why ? ben : because she says she loves me . and i heard her tell chad the exact same thing , that she loves me and that i 'm a better man and that she wanted me . and then last night ... clyde : last night what ? ben : she -- last night , she proved she wanted me . only me . clyde : so you 're convinced it 's over between her and dimera ? even so , son , this is not going to be an easy thing for you to live with . ben : dad , i have to live with it . i love her . i have to make it work . clyde : the next time you see dimera , what then ? ben : it already happened . it already happened . i -- i made sure damn well that he knows abigail 's mine . all mine . stefano : [ chuckles ] chad : done ? stefano : [ exhales deeply ] look , i 'm sorry , but the idea that i would rearrange my life because of your romantic escapades , hey . chad : so it was all just in my imagination that you were furious when i told you i 'd blown abigail off . stefano : well , i was upset that you would throw in the towel for no apparent reason if you really love her . chad : i had a very good reason for breaking things off with abigail . stefano : and what would that reason be ? chad : i 'm looking at him . theresa : i can not believe you are still accusing me of stealing your damn keys . anne : oh , yeah ? 'cause it 's so far fetched that you would doing anything so underhanded ? theresa : i will say it one more time : i do n't have those keys . anne : yeah , well , you better not , honey , because if i find out that you did take my master keys for any nefarious purpose that could come back to bite me , you are going to have a hell of a lot more to worry about than brady black hating on you . eve : ah . [ phone vibrating ] eve : oh , am i interrupting something here ? anne : oh , jeez , i got ta take this . theresa : oh , what a shame . anne : i will talk to you later , theresa . theresa : bye . you showed up just in the nick . anne found out somebody stole her keys , and now she 's on the warpath , thinks that i did it . eve : well , then now you can go back to your office and be the hero who found them . theresa : [ sighs ] you owe me , sis . i took a big risk for you . eve : yeah ? well , so did i . and if i have any luck left at all , it 'll pay off big - time . bev : so we get to hang out together all night tonight , right ? jj : i ca n't 'cause sonny hired me to work at the club , and i just ca n't be out too late . i 'm just not really in a good mood right now . bev : well , i can help you feel better . jj : yeah . bev : seriously , jj ? come on , what is the point in beating yourself up ? it 's not like anyone 's going to give you a medal for it , you know ? jj : you 're right . yeah , there 's no point . you know what , though ? um , being with you is actually really helping . it 's lifting my spirits . bev : oh , yeah ? jj : yeah , definitely . i want my yoga pants to smell like i sweat money . bev : [ chuckles ] oh , uh ... jj : paige ? bev : i 'm gon na go , uh ... paige : yeah , just so you do n't forget and say i did n't warn you : once a cheat , always a cheat . go ahead , jj . tell her how you lied to my face . tell her you 're a low - life cheater and a liar . anne : wow . that must have set somebody back a few . eve : it was a gift from my daddy . anne : oh . eve : and yes , anne , it is very valuable . anne : oh , it must be nice to wear your inheritance while your sister works for a living . eve : what the hell does that even mean ? anne : gee , now see here i thought i was speaking english . but obviously you 're not gettin ' my meanin ' , so i 'll simplify it for you . my assistant , she 's on the clock right now . eve : uh - huh . anne : so if she 's just standing around , you know , chatting with her sister ... eve : uh - huh . anne : it 's just not all that professional , you know what i 'm saying ? eve : mm . theresa : oh , anne . look what i found . this is the part where you say thank you . anne : where did you find these ? theresa : in your top drawer of your desk under a pile of paper clips . anne : i looked there . theresa : well , i guess you did n't look very carefully now , did you ? gee , what a relief , huh ? anne : i swear i looked there . theresa : oh , what , what ? you 're sorry ? you 're sorry of accusing me of stealing your keys ? anne : i 'm not listening , theresa . i ca n't hear you . theresa : you 're giving me a raise ? you love me . that was a close call , and i do not like close calls . eve : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . do n't worry . you 're never going to have to do anything like that again . i got everything i need on jennifer . theresa : did you steal something of hers ? because if you did and anne finds out , jenny is going to be on a warpath , and vengeance -- eve : do n't worry , okay ? nothing i took can be linked back to you in any way . theresa : was it something important ? eve : only to me and jenny . theresa : is it going to knock her down a peg or two ? eve : oh , i 'm counting on it . abigail : i 'm sorry , aunt adrienne . you know , i do n't -- i do n't mean to complain . really , i do n't . and i - i do know how lucky i am to have ben . adrienne : honey , it does n't mean that you 're not under some stress . i mean , just this project alone with jordan leaving town , it 's -- it 's huge . abigail : yeah . adrienne : and i know you 're happy moving in with your boyfriend -- abigail : i am , i am . i 'm really happy about it . i think i 'm just -- i think i 'm just afraid that i 'm disappointing my mom , you know , or maybe i 'm , i do n't know , letting her down or something . adrienne : oh , no . jennifer : honey , please do n't say that . you are not letting me down , i mean it . you 're not . i am so happy for you and ben . adrienne : and so am i. i mean , it 's obvious that you two are a great couple , honey . jennifer : you are , really . and i will miss having you in the house , but you 'll be close by . and like i said before , i am just so happy that you found your soul mate . the man that you are supposed to be with . abigail : [ chuckles ] clyde : ben , i do n't know how you can forgive abigail for making a mistake like that . ben : because i know she 'll never do it again . she 's committed to me . she -- she wo n't go back on that . clyde : son , you never know what a person will or will not do . ben : [ scoffs ] you know what ? i 'm sorry i even told you any of this . clyde : hey , i 'm , uh , i 'm glad you did . i really appreciate you feeling that you could confide in me like that . and i support you , son , whatever you do . ben : thank you . you know , you 're the exact opposite of chad 's father . clyde : what do you mean ? ben : when i was over there at that house , chad heard something . he thought it was his father listening in on his conversation . he totally lashed out . clyde : what did he say ? ben : he said mr. dimera should really stop trying so hard to push him and abigail back together . i know . it 's weird , right ? stefano : ah . you 're my son , hmm ? now it breaks my heart that you would imply somehow -- chad : i 'm not implying anything , father . i 'm stating a fact . you want me to be with abigail . and whatever your reasons are , i 'm worried about them because they sure as hell have nothing to do with me . stefano : as i said , i want you to be with the woman that you love . chad : you think i really love her ? stefano : i know you do . chad : then here 's a reason for me not to be with her . if i really loved her , there is no way that i would make her live in this house of horrors . stefano : your brother and samantha lived here happily . chad : for what ? six weeks before he was killed ? six weeks of happiness together . and in case you did n't notice , abigail is nothing like sami . she is kind and gentle . stefano : and samantha ? chad : is as manipulative and duplicitous as you are . she matches you pretty evenly most of the time . stefano : you 're underestimating abigail . chad : do you really think that that 's a compliment ? sami got -- got tough and nasty and mean because she had to living under your roof with my brother . i would never do that to abigail , so she 's out of my life . and she 's back with ben , and they 're moving in together . stefano : and you approve ? chad : it 's not my business . stefano : look , answer one more question for me , all right ? chad : what is it ? stefano : if you love abigail that much , how do you expect to live without her ? chad : so why , with all of the advantages i have as a dimera , would i want to tie myself down to just one woman ? i got what i wanted from abigail . revenge for sleeping with my brother . i used her . i dumped her . it 's over . let it go . i have . stefano : [ groans ] he loves you enough to give you up . noble . see how long that lasts . clyde : are you telling me stefano dimera is pushing chad to be with abigail ? ben : that 's what i heard chad say . but it does n't matter now 'cause abigail 's with me now . she 's moving in here with me , and that 's the first step . clyde : yeah . okay . well , ahem , i 'll let you get back to what you were doing . just -- just know i want nothing but the best for you , all right ? and you were right . abigail made a mistake , but that does n't mean she 's not the right girl for you . we 're human , right ? ben : yeah . clyde : but she is luckier than she knows to have a man like you loving her . willing to forgive . ben : [ sighs ] clyde : you take care , son . [ sighs ] stefano dimera 's back in town , playing matchmaker . theresa : oh , i 'm so happy that you got what you needed , eve , since it 's all about you . and , i mean , who cares how it affects other people ? eve : would you stop feeling sorry for yourself , theresa ? i 've been thinking about your situation , okay ? and i hope that you 're playing it cool and keeping your head down now that you and the baby have moved into the kiriakis mansion . theresa : eve , i 'm tate 's mother . it 's not like i 'm gon na blend into the very expensive woodwork . eve : i get that , sweetheart . but if you want to make any headway at all with brady , do n't get in his face about anything , okay ? you remain calm and cool , and you go in through the side door with that baby on your hip . because that baby is your key , you feel me ? theresa : this is your advice ? seriously ? eve : it is sound advice , little sister . theresa : oh , okay . well , while you were using those keys that i got you to get whatever it is that you needed to get , i came up with a new plan on how to get brady close to me again . eve : well , that 's wonderful . then you do n't need my calming advice now , do you ? theresa : just -- eve , wait . okay . you know how you said that you owed me ? eve : i do . theresa : all right , well , just -- i 'm just saying somewhere down the road , i might be calling you for that . eve : okay . you know where you can find me . theresa : [ exhales deeply ] anne : well , now that you 're done shooting the breeze with your charming sister while you 're on the clock , i need you to go downstairs to -- theresa : oh . no , it 's my time with tate , sorry . anne : actually it 's not . it 's not your time with tate . it 's your time to work . remember work ? that thing you get paid for ? theresa : did i ... anne : yeah . theresa : or did i not bring you your master keys ? boop . bev : i 'll catch you later , jj . jj : i 'm sorry you saw that . paige : oh , yeah . i 'm sure you are . jj : paige -- paige : you do know i do n't care what you do , right ? jj : okay , if you just -- paige : i get it , you 're moving on . which , in your case , means using girls and then dumping them . jj : paige -- paige : so let 's see with bev . are you gon na do what you did with me ? make sure she thinks it 's more than just a hookup , let her believe that eventually you 'll actually fall in love with her so that when the cheating happens -- and it will -- it 'll just be that much more devastating ? jj : please stop -- paige : and you know what , i 've been wondering . how many other sluts besides my mom and roxanne were you sleeping with the whole time we were together ? jj : you know what ? paige , stop this and listen to me right now ! living with chronic migraine kate : okay . i got your text , but i do have a meeting . can you make it quick ? clyde : all right , but answer me this : any particular reason you did n't tell me that stefano dimera 's back in town ? theo : thanks for bringing me today , uncle chad . chad : hey , do not thank me . i have fun doing it . you know that . i love hanging out with you , buddy . theo : is my therapist coming soon ? chad : he is . he sent a message and said he 's going to be here in a few minutes . theo : can i play a game on your phone while we wait ? chad : how about we -- how about we talk instead ? so you want to tell me what was up with you and , uh , your friend sawyer after school today ? okay , look . sawyer 's your best friend , and friends are really important . okay , so i want you to -- i want you to make sure you guys work it out , whatever happened , okay ? theo : you sound like daddy . chad : well , that 's a compliment because your dad knows what he 's talking about . you think you guys can make up ? hey . i 'm really proud of you . theo : remember when we went to the lake ? chad : the lake ? of course i do . theo : can you take me again ? chad : definitely . theo : it was fun . abigail was there , remember ? chad : i do remember , yes . it was a lot of fun . theresa : hi . mommy 's here , baby . hello . hello . whew , i have not had a chance to get a thing to eat today . could you get me a sandwich , please ?

paige : would you like a medal ? jj : paige -- paige : what an amazing sacrifice you made to be with me . who knew it was such a struggle ? thanks for setting me straight . jj : i so did not mean it that way . paige : who do you think you 're kidding , jj , huh ? yourself ? it was never just you and me . never . whether you were with her or not , the whole time we were together , my mom 's shadow was always right next to you . sensitive bladder ? adrienne : sorry i 'm late . got your text . what do you want to talk about ? justin : nothing to say . i just , uh , want to give you this . kate : well , i was going to tell you eventually . clyde : so what 's the hold - up ? you did n't think i 'd be interested ? kate : are you jealous ?

nicole : no . no , no , no . getting revenge on kate because of what she did to you ... deimos : and you . you said you 'd changed . a whole new outlook , remember was beyond cruel . nicole : you said you would come back to salem and make things right , clear me of any suspicion of murder . and what -- now that 's just off because you 'd rather stick it to kate ? kate : you saw ... andré : deimos kiriakis . talking with nicole . kate : are you sure ? in person , but certainly looked like the man who 's been on the news lately . kate : where did you see them ? andré : in the private park [ dramatic music ] [ door slams ] [ tense music ] andré : oh , for god 's sake , how many times do we have to go through with this ? you kill hope . you inherit the money to pay your debts , and that 's a given . aiden : ahh !

[ glass shattering ] hope : aiden ? oh , my god , what happened ? what 's wrong ? deimos : all right , look . let 's think about this . no one is charging you with murder , right ? nicole : not yet . deimos : i would never let anything happen to you . nicole : that is so easy to say . how long is this little game of yours gon na take , huh ? because you know kate could cause a lot of damage in a very short amount of time . deimos : i 'm not worried about kate . nicole : no ? have you done any research on her at all ? any at all ? that woman always lands on her feet , believe me . deimos : yeah , well , this time , she 's gon na land on her ass . nicole : you know what , i get it , i get it . i totally understand . i 've been down this road myself plenty of times , but revenge ... revenge never turns out to be as fun as you think it is . deimos : this is n't about fun . think of it as payment due . nicole : kate is gon na get plenty of payback when you go to the cops and tell them what happened . the money will revert back to you . and if you have changed like you say you have , you will give it all back to victor . deimos : nicole , what kate did was unforgivable . not only did she try to kill me , she tried to send you away to prison for the rest of your life . be honest with me . would n't watching kate get what 's due her ... would n't that in some way be ... a turn - on to you ? andré : just confirming that you want your rival , rafe hernandez , out of the way . aiden : i 'm prepared to do whatever it takes to get hope back for good . rafe : huh . having second thoughts ? andré : excuse me ? rafe : monahan . that 's why you 're here , is n't it ? you do n't want to see that poor patsy go down for a crime that you committed . andré : try to lose that self - righteous tone , can you , rafe ? we both know full well who killed my father . rafe : oh . so that 's why you 're here . andré : no , not at all . rafe : yeah , you want to let hope know this is never gon na end . andré : [ chuckles ] but we 've had this discussion before , remember ? oh , since my incarceration , i 've changed . rafe : right . andré : yeah . no , i do n't let all that old grievances pull me down anymore . rafe : mm - hmm . andré : i 'm a new man , focused on the future . actually , that 's the reason why i came . i just want to tell hope and explain it all to her . is she here ? rafe : why are you really here ? aiden : careful , i ... made a real mess here , so just -- hope : it 's okay , it 's just -- aiden : no , look , hey , i do n't want you to cut yourself . hope : aiden , what happened ? aiden : uh ... fell asleep reading , woke up , reached for the glass , and just got clumsy , that 's all . hope : please , just tell me what happened . aiden : i just did . look , i told you , i reached for the glass -- hope : no , aiden , you woke up and ... you yelled out . what happened ? aiden : look ...

[ chuckles ] nothing 's ever normal again . hope : only if you give them that power . aiden : i did . oh , i gambled . i went into their debt . and i let them destroy my life . i let them destroy us . hope : do n't -- aiden : you know why i hate talking about the nightmares ? they took everything away . hope : not everything . aiden : yes . hope : no . aiden : they did -- look . i can make all the promises in the world to you . you fell in love with . but hope , be honest with me . the reason you are still so cautious is because the trust ... it 's just not there , and it probably never will be . hope : i 'm trying . [ knock on door ] aiden : time to go . nic kate roberts knows nothing . at work any day now , which makes me in charge , so just get me those frickin ' files . looking for someone ? kate : yeah , actually , i am . i 'm looking for your partner . nicole : dario ? the two of you seem the hip late kate : should i be , nicole it 's just us . people that i 've been fired ? kate : but you have been fired . deimos is dead . i 'm sole ceo of titan . unless , of course , that might prove that wrong . rafe : hey , lori . it 's rafe hernandez . oh , i 'm good . how 'bout you ? oh , good . listen , you know , i 'm just working on this kind of a background thing , and i was just wondering if you could tell me who andré dimera 's lawyer was in his latest arrest ? thanks . fired him on his second day , huh ? okay . so who 's the new lawyer ? nobody ? ? hope : nothing . i was just , um ... bout what you said . aiden : my fault . hope : they 've always known how to find someone 's weak spot . aiden : they certainly found mine . hope : listen , hold on the reason i had wanted us to get away and to have this time together alone was to see if we ... to see if we really could . aiden : but i 'm still stuck in the past . hope : no , no -- aiden : yeah . hope : no . you 're not stuck . you 're fighting the nightmares . so am i . it 's part of the process . aiden : yeah , well , hope , you know , i keep trying to protect you from the past , from what happened . concentrate on the future , you know , so ... so you -- we -- can be happy . but let 's face it . that 's probably never gon na happen . nicole : here 's what i know : if you 're going to be a successful ceo , you do n't dump a good executive on a whim . kate : [ scoffs ] since when is an impending murder charge a whim ? nicole : impending only in your mind . kate : yeah ... no . i do n't think the police would feel that way . on becoming part of basic black ? i mean , it 's not like you 're going to be able to go back to the mansion again and throw yourself at deimos . he 's gone -- the man is gone . nicole : wow . you seem so sure about that . kate : well , are n't you ? why not , nicole ? what do you know that i do n't ? [ tense music ] deimos : sorry to hear that . nicole : no sorrier than i am that you have n't really changed at all . [ key rattling in lock ] [ dramatic music ] is that i 'm not you . i did n't try to kill deimos . kate : yeah . right . because that would clear you of his murder , would n't it ? nicole : [ sighs ] kate , would you stop with the murder thing ? we both know that you 're the one who pushed deimos in the river . i get it . you have your reasons for not admitting it . but could you just at least ... do the right thing just this one time ? tell the police that i had nothing to do with it . i 'm not gon na do that . because if your wish comes true , that means deimos is alive , does n't it ? nicole : forget deimos . this is about the kind of person you are . i have tried to change who i am . and i really , really want to keep trying . kate , why do n't you try and change with me ? we could help each other . like you said , i 'm not you . nicole : well , we could start by making sure basic black is one of titan 's most successful businesses . kate : the way you worked with me by going after the man i loved ? nicole : kate , it was an act to make deimos pay for what he did to maggie . kate : you know , nicole , i saw you . i saw the way you looked at us down by the river . and i heard what you said . i heard you tell him that it was all or nothing , that he had to walk away from me you meant every word you said without ever thinking of how it would affect me , as if my life did n't matter . nicole : okay . i 'm trying to make up for that . kate : me into giving you your old job back . nicole : kate , please , i 'm just trying to make peace . kate : nicole , you do n't know how to make peace . peace , to you , is coming out on top . it 's always been that way with you . you do n't remember when you -- you took victor away from me ? you know , you can dress up -- you can dress up , ldall becauseof the -- of the love of a good man like daniel . but the truth is , that 's an act , because deep down , you are twisted . you are cunning , and you are selfish . dna does n't change . so you can just forget about getting to see you rot in hell before i would ever tell the police that you 're innocent . aiden : hope , i love you . and i do n't want that do n't you sometimes think it would be easier just to run away ? i ... [ sighs ] when i was locked in that cage , you were all i could think about . that is what kept me going . that 's what gave me hope . i 'd focus on silly stuff , you know , the way you swipe your hair when you laugh , the look in your eye when you 're mad ... i ... used to wonder if i 'd ever see that face again ... touch your skin again . even now , when things get bad , i 'm afraid that i 'm still in that cage and ... this is the dream . hope : this is n't a dream .

'cause he does n't care about me . nope , not the way he cares about you or haley . ciara : look , uh , i know you 're hurting . i know you 're really hurt , but you need to stop this before you go too far , okay ? claire : [ laughs ] are you kidding ? ciara , either tripp is dead and i killed him ... ciara : that was an accident . claire : or he 's alive and he 's telling the police everything right now . ciara : okay , but telling them what ? you never actually confessed . he does n't know anything -- claire : come on . ciara , come on . it 's -- at this point it is too late . the truth is gon na come out that i am the one who set this cabin on fire , and that i am the one who tried to kill you . so there you are with your depression kayla : i do n't get it . why would sarah accept a necklace from xander ? rex : because he saved will 's life and it 's sarah 's way of showing gratitude , i guess . anyway , things were already really weird with my mom flipping out about the wedding and -- kayla : hurt that she was n't included ? rex : yeah , how 'd you guess ? kayla : mm . rex : but , you know , she was happy for me and sarah , just like my dad . i have an idea that i can throw a big wedding reception so everyone that was n't invited to the wedding can just come to that . well , actually , that was mom 's idea . in fact ... kayla : what ? rex : well , you know what ? if -- she wo n't hold a grudge if i say she can go ahead and plan this big bash , and sarah and i will love it . kayla : yeah , uh - huh . good luck with that . rex : yeah , thanks . both : [ laugh ] rex : [ sighs ] ted : how nice to be incarcerated with someone so upbeat . kate : oh , please . do n't tell me that you 're attracted to hope because of her intellect . really ?

[ sighs ] ted : i 'm sorry . rex : cheers . mm . so going back , do you think that xander stole this necklace from ted ? sarah : or he could have bought it off of him . rex : i think it 's safer to assume the worst from this guy . no ? you do n't think so ? sarah : maybe he 's trying to change . rex : [ laughs ] do you really believe that ? sarah : my mom does ! rex : your mom sees the best in , like , everybody . except for me . sarah : oh , she 'll come around . rex : yeah , i 'm not gon na hold my breath .

'cause from what i hear -- and correct me if i 'm wrong -- everybody was telling hope to stay away from you . but she did n't listen because she knew that if she did n't put her heart on the line , she could potentially miss out on the best thing that ever happened to her . and , look , i - i know that i might not get the same happy ending that you and hope did , but ... whatever happens , at least i could say i tried ... and i might even learn something for next time . bo : when did you become so grown - up and wise ? chelsea : well , i 've made a lot of mistakes , and i could be making another one ... but it does n't feel like it . it feels really right . but either way ... i got to figure that out on my own . bo : you 're right . you do . you 're not a little girl anymore ... and i got to step back . chelsea : not all the way back . i mean , if he does hurt me , you 're gon na have to kick his butt . you know that , right ? bo : and i will gladly do that . come here . chelsea : thank you . bo : thank you .

[ clears throat ] marlena : what ? why ? did myers ask for that ? did he coerce you into saying that that would happen in exchange for anything else ? will : no -- marlena : if he did , i will turn him over to the board . will : no , no , grandma , it was not like that . i - i offered . marlena : why would you do that ? will : because sonny and i , we need to focus on the future . we need to figure out a way to stay married . marlena : and did ... did dr. myers promise that he could make that happen in exchange for the article ? will : not ... exactly . marlena : does sonny want to focus on the future ? will : he wants to stay married . he said it a hundred times . marlena : well , then , what are you worried about ? look , sonny ca n't be as upset about the article as he would about finding out about you and paul . will : no . marlena : [ sighs ] clearly , you want to talk to me . why do n't you just do that ? will : when sonny and i were arguing about the article , he kept pushing , and i blurted something . and sonny figured out that while i was in los angeles , i made another mistake . sonny : paul , i told you before , i 'm not gon na talk about what 's going on . paul : i know , this is n't ab -- sonny : this is n't about me and will ? paul : not exactly . okay , so , it 's more about me , okay ? and something that i figured out and i honestly think that this could help you and will . okay , okay , derrick -- you remember him , from the hotel ? sonny : of course . what a prince that guy is . do n't tell me he 's part of this . paul : no , no , it 's not like what you 're thinking . okay , um , i ran into him , and he and i started talking and he said something to me that really hit me . okay , sonny , just hear me out . lucas : you 're giving me paul ? what does that even mean ? kate : justin forced me to offer an endorsement deal to paul , making him the face of our new men 's line . now , i know countess wilhelmina is coming up with a similar men 's line . lucas : you know that how ? kate : do n't even start with me , okay ? they briefed me while i was still heading dimera . the point is , i think paul would be a better fit with your line than ours . lucas : why is that , mom ? why would n't he be a good fit for your line ? kate : because with mad world , paul will be based in salem . lucas : and if he works for countess wilhelmina , he 'll be based in san diego ... far away from will . kate : i mean , he wo n't be there that long . just for the extent of the campaign . but at least that would give sonny and will some time to work on their marriage without paul interfering . lucas : yeah , yeah , it 'd be great for countess - style brand , right ? it 's a win- win ? kate : yeah , yeah , it is . lucas : no dice . kate : [ scoffs ] lucas , what 's wrong ? lucas : well , first , you 're offering it . that 's what 's wrong . and even worse than that , i was actually considering it for a second . just for a second there , i was starting to think just like you . adrienne : this is just ... stunning ! [ laughs ] but why am i surprised ? you 're a lawyer . you can justify anything , right ? justin : i 'm telling the truth . i never intended to leave you over elsa . and i never meant to humiliate you . adrienne : oh . you just stayed away for months at a time . you think no one knew ? you think it was n't abundantly clear when you did n't make it home for a holiday , or a birthday , or anything ? justin : i e - mailed and called just like -- adrienne : oh , stop -- please , please , please ! if we 're gon na have this discussion , at least be honest . our son was stabbed , near death , and i could n't get you out of that woman 's bed to pick up the phone ! justin : i was on the first -- i was on the first flight out ! adrienne : yes , when you knew ! but where did you go after that ? when you got home , what did you do then ? justin : sonny went to arizona . adrienne : no , but i was here . i was here . the wife that you never wanted to humiliate . i was right here , justin ! justin : with lucas . adrienne : no , not yet . justin : he was around . i could smell it . and more to the point , he is still around . adrienne , i 'm home for good and look where you are ? you did everything but take out an ad in the newspaper . you wanted to punish me . well , you did it ! you wanted to humiliate me . you got it . but you only get to do that for so long . marlena : go on . will : oh , my god , grandma . you 're gon na make me spell it out ? marlena : i 'm funny that way . will : it was one guy . one time , one stupid time . studios , they assigned him to help me with the rewrite . we worked long hours , late nights . one night , we 're at his house and he 's making fun of me because i 'm already married with a kid , and i let it slip that sonny 's the only guy that i 've ever been with . that was it . he was on a mission . he just kept after me . he would n't leave it alone . marlena : did he force himself on you ? will : no , no , not like that . he just could n't believe that someone so young and hot and talented was already married . so obviously he was working me and i fell for it . marlena : it was one time ? will : yeah , it was only one time . and i avoided him after that . we just worked through e - mail . studio fired me right afterwards . i felt so relieved . like , `` at least this is over . it 's buried . `` marlena : did you think about telling sonny about it ? will : i mean , yeah , but , i thought , `` what good would that do ? `` it only happened once . i regretted it two seconds afterwards and it was n't going to happen again . marlena : it did . you came back to salem and you slept with paul . sonny : okay , what is it you came up with ? paul : okay , like i said ... this is more about will . sonny : i ca n't have you in the middle of this . paul : look , i 'm not , okay ? just listen . derrick and i were talking , and he asked me , you know , how coming out was for me . and he asked me how it was going . and then he said that he was surprised that you and will had already settled down together . he said that he could never do that right after coming out , and i realized ... he was right . i could n't either . and i was so surprised because -- i love you , sonny , and i want to be with you , but i realize , even if you were free , i could n't get married . i mean , not yet . and i started thinking about how focused i 've been on you and getting you back and i asked myself , `` why ? `` and it 's because it was easier than dealing with coming out and everything that 's about . sonny : so , you think this is true for will , too ? like he skipped a step ? theo : abigail has to come ! it 's me , chad , and abigail ! she has to , she has to ! abigail : hey , hey , theo ? theo , look at me . come here , look at me over here . look in my eyes , okay ? listen to me . i will go with you to the lake , okay ? i will be there , do n't you worry . theo : you promise ? abigail : i promise . all right ? you feel better now ? okay , can we take a deep breath ? [ both inhale ] abigail : shake it off . [ guttural breaths ] [ laughs ] come here . [ kisses ] hi , theo . everything okay ? chad : we 're just making some plans . it 's okay now , but you should check it out with theo . okay . we 'll go over it in session . you ready ? chad : i will be picking him up . got it . chad : hey , dude . later . theo : later . abigail : i 'll see you soon . theo : bye . abigail : bye . chad : you should n't have lied to him . hope : hey , what 's your read on this ? rafe : well ... hard to say , really . you think weston 's working for stefano ? hope : no . that would n't spook victor . he knows how to fight the dimeras . rafe : well , it does n't mean he wants to go to war with them again . hope : okay , but what if ... what if stefano uses clyde as his stalking horse ? rafe : well , that would definitely raise the game now , would n't it ? hope : mm - hmm . rafe : but weston working for stefano ... does that sound right ? hope : no , not really . rafe : no . maybe it does n't have anything to do with business ? hope : personal ? rafe : well , clyde is going out with kate . hope : stefano takes that very personally , as you know . rafe : yeah , as i 'm sure does clyde . hope : okay , so the question is , why would weston go to the dimera mansion with a target on his back ? rafe : he knows stefano would never kill him in his own house . hope : so that 's it ? that 's why he 'd walk in on him there . clyde knew he was safe . rafe : that 's a shame . [ laughs ] well , it is . seriously , can you imagine if those two thugs took each other out ? they 'd be doing the public a great service . clyde : now , the way i see it , you and victor have business interests that are , um ... more international . that 's where each of you have put your attention , which is fine , but it made a vacuum here in salem . my business is more local . i 'm very service oriented , so i have expanded here and i will continue to expand in this local market , and there should n't be ... stefano : in the study , now ! clyde : any problem around that . but if there is , i will resolve it , as to your friend victor can tell you . one more thing ... i 'm seeing kate roberts . there should n't be any hard feelings about that . i hear that you have moved on , as well , several times . so i hope that , uh , you wish us well . stefano : escort this man out . clyde : wait just a second . i 've said my piece , but i came here to listen , as well . whatever you wan na tell me -- stefano : i 've learned everything i have to know about you . get out , now . clyde : easy , big boy . i know the way out . lucas : you almost did it . you almost got me . good job , mom . kate : lucas , we 'll be helping will . lucas : we will be interfering in his life . kate : for his own good . lucas : oh , there 's my mom that i know and love . there you are . nice to see you , again , mom . kate : yeah , that 's right . i am you 're mother and i care about my grandson just as much as i 've always cared about you . lucas : yeah , you tried to run my life , too . kate : sometimes , a parent has to step up . the way you went to prison to protect will , remember that ? lucas : yeah , i remember that . he was young and i did that to protect him , yes . but will is a grown man , now , and he needs to work on his marriage all by himself without anyone butting in . kate : okay , fine . i agree to that , if everyone backs off . but justin pushed this job on paul to keep paul in salem , okay ? he is actively inserting himself between sonny and will . and why do you think he 's doing that , lucas ? lucas : i do n't know . i 'm not gon na start a fight with justin , okay ? i 'm not gon na do that through our sons . kate : yeah , well , justin does n't have that problem . lucas : i 'm not gon na do it . i 'm not going to waste my time wading in on this . kate : no , except you already waded in adrienne , right ? lucas : well there it is . it was a matter of time with you , huh ? you had to cross the line ? well , you did . good luck with your schemes . you know what ? i hope your boss does n't find out about what you 're doing . hope : not exactly the kind of comment we issue from the salem pd . rafe : well , no , no . not out loud . hope : mm . rafe : oh , but trust me . can you imagine if we got a 189 from the dimera mansion right now ? hope : no , personally , i do n't give a damn what stefano and clyde do to each other . it 's the collateral damage . rafe : you 're worried about chad . hope : and abigail . and ben . rafe : did you know that abigail is moving in with ben ? hope : what , really ? rafe : yeah , do n't worry though . he 's a good kid . it just means that she 's gon na be closer to clyde . hope : keep a look out , okay ? informally . you know who else might be very interested in hearing about this little sit - down ? rafe : victor . hope : mm - hmm . rafe : did n't he bite your head off once before for bringing up something like this ? hope : what ? i 'd just be passing on some news that came to me in the course of the salem pd 's routine , lifetime surveillance of all things dimera . no harm in that , right ? rafe : right , no . i guess not . you text me if you need back - up . hope : will do ... partner . kate : god , i could use a double shot of ... paul : [ exhales ] i know will loves you . i do n't doubt that for a minute . sonny : neither do i . paul : it 's just , maybe ... when i just met will , he talked about marrying the first guy he 'd ever been with , and that sounded great , but maybe ... i do n't know , um ... after today , really realizing how it is for me , um ... i guess i kind of get will . not the crummy things that he 's done to try and keep us apart , but ... but what happened between him and me . and i 'm not trying to bring that up -- sonny : no , you do n't have to explain it . i get it . paul : do you ? sonny : i got to get back to work . paul : okay . sonny : i 'll be at home . if there 's an emergency only . sure , everything okay ? sonny : not really . will : so i 'm a slut . i ca n't stay faithful to my husband . that 's what you 're saying , is n't it ? marlena : i 'm not judging you . i 'm stating a fact . you came back from l.a. and thought you 'd had a one - time thing . and then , you slept with somebody else . you need to talk to somebody about this . will : i 'm talking to sonny now . marlena : that 's not what i meant . i meant you need to talk to somebody about this pattern . will : it 's ... it 's not a pattern . it was a mistake both times . i know that now . [ cell phone ringing ] will : i ... [ clears throat ] sonny 's on his way home . marlena : okay . i 'm gon na go . i want to make a suggestion before i do . when sonny gets here , you stay calm and listen to everything he has to say before you react . will : thank you . i love you , grandma . marlena : oh , i love you , too . abigail : i did n't lie . i will go to the lake with the two of you . chad : really ? abigail : yeah . and you know what ? i 'm sure , um , that ben would love to join us because he and theo actually really get along and it would be great . chad : well , we 'll just be one hell of a quartet , then . abigail : how do you do that ? chad : i have an agile mind . something you have n't seen much of these days , but -- abigail : you 're -- you 're so sweet with him and you are compassionate and kind , and then you 're this : cruel . chad : payback 's a bitch . abigail : it really was -- it was all a plan , was n't it ? you came back into town and you were working me from the second you got here . the whole time , you had it in your mind that you were just going to use me -- chad : now , now , we both got what we wanted . abigail : i did n't want that . chad : which time ? come on , abi . you got one last time with a guy that can actually finish sentences . abigail : oh , please . chad : and anything else he starts . so , now you can go play house with ben and i can move on with ... other women . abigail : plural ? chad : it 's been more singular these days . abigail : zoe ? chad : oh , she is hot in ways that you will never get . you should see the things that we do in bed -- abigail : you 're disgusting , chad . what 's the special ? justin : stefano is meeting with clyde weston ? hope : that 's right . as we speak . justin : and why do you want me to pass this on to victor ? hope : he 'll know . please make sure he understands i was n't telling weston . it came up in routine surveillance of stefano . justin : i 'll let him know . hope : thank you . i 'll see you later , justin . hey ... how are things with you ? justin : you mean with me and adrienne ? hope : please tell me if it 's none of my business , but i just -- i want you to know how sorry i am about you two . justin : so , it looks like adrienne and i are headed down the same road as you and bo . hope : adrienne wants a divorce ? [ knocking ] lucas : [ sighs ] hey . adrienne : hey . lucas : what is it ? adrienne : justin . [ cell phone ringing ] kate : [ sighs ] is sonny there ? will : not yet . you said he 's not happy ? kate : it was just something he said to the barista before he left . `` things were n't okay . `` will : why ? kate : i do n't know . i could n't hear what he and paul were talking about . will : paul ? kate : yes , yes , but they were just talking outside of tbd . and then he came in and he told his staff that he was going home . will : so , maybe he was mad at paul ? kate : i do n't think so . i mean , they were very intense , but ... look , i have to go . call me later . paul : just the person i wanted to see . kate : really ? i thought maybe you were looking for my grandson 's husband . brandon thinks hellmann 's justin : i 'm the one who drew up the divorce papers , but adrienne would have gone to a lawyer if i had n't . hope : did adrienne say that ? justin : lucas makes her happy now , and i make her miserable . hope : i am so sorry . justin : it 's okay . hope : no , no , it 's not okay . you must be crushed . you just want it to be over . justin : that 's where we are . hope : i always looked at you and adrienne and thought you two could work your way through anything . justin : nobody 's talking . hope : justin , you probably do n't need my advice , but for whatever it 's worth , do n't do anything out of anger . it never helps . justin : too late for that . adrienne : the divorce papers came out of nowhere . i mean , not a hint . not a word . i mean , we did n't even talk about it , and then just -- boom ! lucas : so he blind - sided you ? adrienne : yeah , to say the least . what ? lucas : it 's just , um ... i 'm surprised , that 's all . adrienne : i know , right ? i mean , it was a total sucker punch . lucas : not by what justin did , but i 'm surprised by your reaction to it . clyde : hey , there . abigail : mr. weston , hi . clyde : you know , you 're going to have to stop calling me that . abigail : [ laughs softly ] clyde : word is , you 've made a certain young man very happy . marlena : oh , chad . chad , i 've been -- i 've been trying to get ahold of you . chad : ah , i saw the messages . i was , uh ... i was going to call you back later . marlena : oh , i , um ... i wanted to thank you for what you did with stefano . chad : sure . so , you , uh ... so , you 're okay ? marlena : i am , thanks to you . chad : did n't abe or roman call you about it ? marlena : uh , no , i did n't -- i did n't tell them what stefano did . chad : why not ? marlena : because all they could do would be get upset . stefano 's out of reach . he 's covered his tracks . it 's over . chad : marlena , stefano 's back in town , for good . paul : you have n't gotten my calls or texts ? kate : i do n't know . i have n't checked my call sheet today . paul : i 'm taking the job . kate : oh , goodie . paul : my business manager will handle the paperwork for profit designation . we want the money split between three charities , and my personal contract , that can come directly to me . kate : you do n't want your lawyer to look it over ? paul : he will after i do my mark - up . kate : your mark - up ? paul : notes . any counter - offers . kate : this deal is not open to negotiation . paul : of course it is . all deals are . kate : not this one . paul : kate ? cards on the table . we 're gon na be working together . kate : and ? it 's business . that does n't mean we have to like each other .

[ dramatic music ] is now a good time for a flare - up ? gabi : i knew it . i knew it was you . my husband , my hero , the only man who 's ever accepted me , the man that 's made me feel safe and happy -- happier than i 've ever been . i knew the minute i laid eyes on you -- jake : yeah , you made that pretty clear . gabi : okay , fine . i did n't go about it the right way , but you would n't let me . i w -- i had to get that dna test result , and now it does n't even matter because we have the proof . and i am so happy . i 'm so happy to have you -- to have you here and not -- not in my dreams , where i can actually touch you . jake : so what ? i still do n't get it , because if these results are actually legit , then my last two years in philly are the only real memories i have . everything else ... what is it , fiction ? gabi : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . but dr . rolf , he 's fully capable of implanting somebody with false memories . jake : of an entire life ? gabi : yeah , i 'm afraid so . [ tense music ] jake : just all seems so real . gabi : i know . i know . and i hate -- i hate that you remember this whole other life . i hate that you remember being with that other woman , gwen , and not me , but i 'm gon na fix this . i 'm gon na fix this , okay ? and very soon , you 're gon na remember exactly how much we loved each other . gwen : i 'm actually glad they let gabi off , because now she wo n't think that i just won jake by default . claire : oh , you ask me , a win is still a win . gwen : you know ? and i 'm not scared of her . she should be scared of me . what are you doing here anyway ? are n't you supposed to be out with ciara ? claire : oh , i did . yeah , we went wedding dress shopping all afternoon . gwen : ooh , that sounds like a lovely time . claire : it was a great time , actually . gwen : are you serious ? claire : well , why would n't i be ? gwen : i -- i do n't -- i do n't know , claire . um ... maybe because pretending to be her best friend is an easy way to pull out the rug from under her and ruin her life . i know i asked you this before , but we were interrupted by the very happy couple . what do you plan to do ? ciara : okay , ben , that is not fair -- i mean -- to assume that claire would wan na ruin my dress . you should have seen how happy she was about it . ben : how happy ? ciara : yeah . ben : so she faked being excited , like she could n't fake every other emotion in the book , like we did n't watch her fake every other emotion in the book right before she set you on fire ? ciara : okay . fine . that 's true . but she 's also a different person now , ben , just like you were when you got out of bayview . do you remember ? okay , and look , you just -- i mean , you should have seen us today , ben . we had so much fun . i mean , she helped me pick out a wedding dress . we confided in each other . we laughed . i -- ben , it was like i had my best friend back . finally , you know ? i mean , ben , she was so sweet and kind and caring and helpful . ben : yeah , which is exactly how she would act if she 's trying to gain your trust back . and then when you finally do trust her , she 's golden , and then she can infiltrate and sabotage our wedding from the inside . look , i do n't mean to be cynical ; i just ... ciara : no . ben : do n't trust her at all . ciara : it 's okay . i understand . i understand why you 're being cynical , and look -- okay , let 's say you 're right , right ? ben : okay . ciara : why would she do something so obvious as to pour nail polish all over the dress that she helped me pick out ? i mean , would n't she have known that she would have been the prime suspect ? ben : yeah , or she would assume that 's what you would think so that you would not suspect her . ciara : [ sighs ] ben : hmm ? ciara : okay , well , now i 'm all sorts of confused , okay ? so how about this ? you and i , we go together and we talk to claire and see if she has any theories about what may have happened to my dress . ben : that 's a great idea , except if she is the one who ruined it , she 's gon na lie . why would she admit to it ? does she wan na be sent back to bayview ? ciara : look , let 's not talk about what she may or may not do ; just -- just ... just come with me . okay ? just come with me , and for now -- for now , please , baby -- please , just give her the benefit of the doubt , okay ? for me , can you do that ? please . ben : [ exhales deeply ] sure . for you , i will go with you . [ scoffs ] god . sonny : yeah , you 're right . we should talk to your sister before we spring this on ari . will : yeah , i mean , i just do n't wan na get ari 's hopes up about having , like , a -- you know , a baby brother or sister if we 're just gon na disappoint her . sonny : yeah . well , i do n't know if she would actually be that disappointed , though . 'cause last time we brought it up , she seemed more interested in getting a puppy . will : mm . [ laughs ] true . sonny : but i think once she experiences having , like , a sweet little baby in the family , she 's gon na fall in love . and honestly , it 's like , the way that allie 's been praising us on how we 're raising ari , i think she 's gon na be on board with us adopting her child . will : i think you 're right . i mean , i do n't know why she 'd say no . allie : this was n't some snap decision , okay ? it 's not like i could n't figure out what to get rafe for his birthday so i decided to hand him my baby . eric : i know that , allie , and i 'm sorry if i su -- i suggested that it was some snap decision . i guess it 's just that i ca n't think of -- i ca n't help but think of my own situation . allie : you mean what happened with mackenzie ? eric : uh , rachel . yeah , i , um -- i did n't even know she was my daughter . and when i learned that she was , i felt like i missed out on so much . i felt like -- i was so glad that i found out when i did . allie : when she was sick ? eric : yeah , because i got to be there when she needed me most . i held her , and i comforted her . i let her know that she was n't alone . and there were some nights , you know , it was just baby and me . allie : and then you found out she was n't yours , and you had to give her up . i 'm really sorry . eric : do n't be . i 'm only telling you this because rafe -- rafe just went through something that was very similar , and you ca n't put him through that again . so if you do decide to offer rafe your child ... you ca n't change your mind . will : you know , however we do this , we just got ta make sure that allie does not feel pressured . sonny : right . yeah , i mean , absolutely not . we 'll agree to the terms , whatever makes her comfortable , of course . um , and , you know , she 's part of the family , so it 's not gon na be a closed adoption . i mean , she 's gon na be able to watch her child grow up . will : yeah , well , what if she wants more than that ? i mean , like , would -- how would you feel if she wanted to play , like , a role in the baby 's life ? sonny : i think i 'd be okay with it . i mean , what about you ? will : i mean , yeah , definitely . sonny : right , 'cause we 're not exactly strangers to the untraditional custody arrangements . i mean , we have -- i mean , think about what we 've done with gabi over the years . it 's working out great . will : yeah , true . although there is another issue . i mean , my dad does n't want allie to give the baby away at all . sonny : well , i think the more he keeps pushing her , she 's just gon na rebel against that . will : yeah , you 're probably right . well , there 's one way to find out . allie : [ sighs ] i hear what you 're saying , but you do n't need to worry about that . i 'm not going to jerk rafe around . i want him to have this child . eric : you do now . allie : you think something 's going to change my mind ? eric : well , after the baby 's born , are you gon na stay here in salem , or are you gon na go back to europe ? allie : i -- i do n't know . i 'll probably move back home . i had n't really thought about it . eric : okay , well , let 's just say that you do move back to europe . you have family here , and i 'm sure you 'll come back to visit . and when you do , i 'm sure you 're gon na wan na visit that little boy or girl . so would you plan on telling this child that you 're their mother ? allie : [ sighs ] i had n't really thought about that either . eric : well , those are some of the things that you do need to think about , because that decision will change this child 's entire life . claire : well , uh , my day has officially started to suck . i ca n't believe you actually think i wan na hurt ciara . [ knock at door ] oh , sorry . looks like we 've got some company . [ gasps ] hi . what 's up , guys ? how are ya ? come on in . um -- oh , i was just telling gwen how much fun we had today wedding dress shopping . and do not worry . i took great care of the dress . ben : we know you took care of it . vivian : gabi had dna tests run on this man ? rafe : yeah , she stole his toothbrush . she 's having it compared to stefan 's comb . we 're currently waiting on the results . vivian : when does she expect to get them ? rafe : gabi 's checking with the lab as we speak . they just came in . [ suspenseful music ] jake : i 'm sorry , but even if these results prove that i 'm stefan dimera , gabi , nothing else has changed for me . i still do n't feel anything for you . gabi : that 's not your fault . you said it yourself . you remember an entirely different life . but all that matters is that i love you . and , uh ... i actually know a way to help you remember just how much we meant to each other . allie : okay . so , obviously , i still have some things i need to figure out . but no matter what , i still think rafe would be a much better parent than i would . eric : [ sighs ] allie : especially because , well , there are so many things i wan na do with my life , and to give all that up to raise this baby ... [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . eric : for what ? allie : for being a terrible person . eric : allie , why would you think you 're a terrible person for not wanting to raise a child at this time in your life ? i mean , it is a huge , life - changing responsibility . i mean , it 's completely understandable that you 're not ready for it . allie : i 'm not . i 'm really not . none of this is definite . i have n't even asked rafe if he wants to adopt my baby . eric : then i think that 's something that you need to do . claire : i 'm sorry . uh , i 'm not quite sure what you 're talking about . ciara : claire , the dress shop called , and when they opened the garment bag of the one that i wanted , the one that you and i picked out together ... claire : uh - huh . ciara : it was covered in nail polish . claire : no ! no , no , no ! what ? ciara : yeah . claire : oh , my god , that is awful ! ben : huh . would you look at that ? i wonder if we should compare this to the stains on the dress . claire : really ? are you serious ? ciara : look , claire , no one 's blaming you for anything . okay ? if you happened to accidentally get some nail polish on the dress before you returned it , that 's fine . you can tell me . claire : i didn't . i didn't . ciara , i did n't even take the dress out of the bag , okay ? i literally just took it back to the shop with the other dresses . and then i came home , and i did my nails . ciara , i did n't ruin it . i swear . ben : right . and we 're just supposed to take your word for it ? gwen : look , mate , if she says she did n't do it , then she did n't do it , okay ? so let it go , yeah ? vivian : oh , my god . if my son 's alive , i 'll get my life back . i 've been so miserable without him . rafe : right . well , before you get too excited about getting your life back , you should probably get a lawyer . vivian : what for ? rafe : what for ? you just tried to kill lani price . it was n't that long ago . clearly , you could n't have forgotten . vivian : where are you going ? rafe : to do your paperwork . i 'll be back . [ phone rings ] vivian : oh , my god . stefan . please be alive . please . [ phone rings ] gabi : rafe ! rafe , rafe , rafe ! i was right . i was right . jake really is stefan . rafe : what ? seriously ? gabi : yeah , check it out yourself . the dna results -- 100 % match . rafe : oh , my god . honestly , i would have never thought that this was possible 'cause your heart is in julie williams ' body . jake : yeah , i do n't really get it either . gabi : well , i do . i do , and once you remember everything , our life is gon na fall into place , and you 're gon na remember our love . rafe , i need you to talk to rolf and get that serum , okay ? rafe : yeah , gabi , we talked about that . gabi : yeah , but that was before i had the proof that jake is stefan . rafe : yeah , i do n't see how that makes any difference . rolf wants to make you suffer . what better way to make you suffer than to keep you from the man you love ? gabi : you 're wasting my time . i want my husband back . rafe : yeah . yeah , i get that . well , if it turns out that jake is actually stefan , which will appear is the case , there 's someone in there that you might wan na see . gabi : who ? what ? rafe : vivian alamain . gabi : vivi ? you finally caught her ? rafe : yeah , she was at eli and lani 's wedding . she tried to kill the bride . [ dramatic music ] if your gums bleed when you brush you may have gingivitis . gabi : not really surprising that vivian would crash that stupid wedding . lani is a murderer , and everybody treats her like she 's a saint . so it 's understandable that vivian would wan na get revenge . rafe : it 's actually not understandable , because lani was just doing her job , whereas vivian is a homicidal maniac . jake : all right , so i take it stefan was close with this vivian , this homicidal maniac ? gabi : yeah , you were close with vivian , but it was n't exactly your choice . well , she 's your mother . allie : you 're right . i need to talk to rafe . thanks again for working through all this with me , uncle eric . eric : i 'm happy to help . so you can stop thanking me now , okay ? allie : i guess i 'm just not used to having someone around who 's so kind and rational . eric : mm . allie : are you sure you and my mom are twins ? eric : [ laughs ] your mom can be kind and rational as well -- when she wants to be . i know she 'll be just as supportive as i was when you tell her . allie : but you have n't told her , right ? eric : no , i haven't . allie : i 'm sorry . i know i put you in kind of a weird position when i showed up on your doorstep . eric : it 's what uncles are for , right ? allie : you 're the best , you know that ? not just at being an uncle ... the way you are with nicole and holly . i hope , one day , i find someone who loves me as much as you love nicole . eric : i hope so too . [ sentimental music ] allie : okay . [ both laugh ] well , i 'm going to go brush my teeth and comb my hair before i ask rafe if he wants to raise my baby . okay . ben : why do n't you stay out of this ? yeah . gwen : why should i ? claire is my friend , and i do n't like people accusing my friends of lying . ben : right ... [ with english accent ] because you 're such an honest bunch . [ normally ] why were you in bayview again ? gwen : [ forced laugh ] you 're so funny , are n't you ? that 's right . [ whispering ] i 'm perfectly sane . [ normally ] actually -- oh , that 's right . you 're the one who needed psychiatric help , are n't you ? in fact , you 're so fiercely protective over your girlfriend here , i 'm -- i 'm scared you might strangle me right here . ciara : okay , you listen here . claire : gwen , that is enough . ben . okay , look . i get why you 're protective of ciara , especially considering the past . come on , the past is the past . ciara , look , i am telling the truth . you looked so beautiful in that dress , and i know how excited you were for ben to see you in it on your wedding day . please , you have to believe me . i did not ruin your dress . at philadelphia , we know what makes the perfect schmear claire : come on , ciara . please say that you believe me . ciara : uh ... if , uh -- if you say you did n't do it , then i believe you . claire : oh , good . thank you . thank you . thank you so much . thank you ! ugh . oh , i 'm still your maid of honor , right ? ciara : um , yes . claire : oh , great . ciara : yes , you are . claire : thank you . and this is n't a total loss . i mean , look , yes , the dress was beautiful , but there are lots of beautiful dresses out there . and i am gon na help you find the perfect one again , okay ? and i 'm gon na pay for the dress that was ruined . ciara : no , claire . you do n't have to do that , really . claire : well , i want to . look , i can borrow the money and then pay it back when i get a job . ben : why are you even offering ? if you did n't ruin the dress , why would you pay for it ? claire : ciara asked me to take care of it , and the dress was my responsibility . ciara : please , claire , you really -- you do n't -- you do n't have to do that . claire : i know , but i want to , okay ? please let me handle this . ben : you know what ? let 's just figure this whole thing out later , huh ? we got ta go . ciara : right , um , we will talk later . claire : okay . ciara : okay . claire : i 'll see you soon . ciara : see you soon . claire : i love you . ciara : i love you too . bye , gwen . gwen : bye - bye . bye , now . claire : whew . gwen : well , that ben really does have a screw loose , does n't he ? [ clears throat ] but , uh , you know , claire , he kind of does make a good point . why would you offer to pay for the dress if you did n't ruin it ? unless you have a guilty conscience . eric : will , sonny , come in . will : thank you . eric : hey , i , uh -- i heard gabi was acquitted . you must be so relieved . sonny : definitely . will : oh , yeah . i mean , we did not know how we 'd break it to ari if gabi had to go back to prison again . eric : yeah , that 'd be tough . but the good news is , you do n't have to . so what brings you by ? sonny : well , we were hoping we could talk to allie . will : yeah , is she here ? [ phone rings ] jake : so my mother just tried to kill a police detective ? rafe : yup . gabi : it was n't her first offense . jake : what else has she done ? rafe : how much time you got ? gabi : the last time , she fled town because she shot kate roberts and buried her alive . jake : holy -- rafe : yeah , i 'm guessing the da is gon na be out for blood on that one . sorry . jake : ah , it 's okay . considering i never met the woman , it 's not really a huge blow . gabi : yeah , but you did love her very much . you were shielding her when lani shot you in the neck . wait , so maybe if you see her , that will spark up a memory . yeah , we ca n't count on dr . rolf and his serum , so maybe this is the next best thing . rafe , could -- could he -- could stefan possibly see vivian ? rafe : it 's worth a shot . allie : rafe . rafe : hey . allie : could we talk ? gabi : allie ? is that you ? oh , my god ! you 're so big ! are you pregnant ? allie : looks like it . gabi : oh , does will know ? allie : pretty much everyone knows . rafe : hmm . allie : rafe , do you have a minute ? it 's important , and it 's private . rafe : right . uh , well , looks like it 's gon na be a long night , so i was just gon na grab some food . you wan na come with me ? allie : sounds perfect . rafe : okay . gabi : okay , but -- yeah , could stefan please see vivian , though ? is that okay ? rafe : i do n't see why not . uh , she 's handcuffed to a chair . there 's a guard on duty . good luck . gabi : thanks . [ phone rings ] jake : all right , look , gabi . i do n't really feel right about this . gabi : no , no , you have to try this , because if you see vivian , maybe it will jog your memory and you 'll remember who you really are . you 're gon na remember how much you love me ... and -- and how much i loved you and want you . eric : well , i 'm sorry , guys , but you just missed allie . i mean , you could leave her a message . will : uh , thanks , but , you know , i think we kind of need to talk to her face- to - face . eric : it sounds important . sonny : it is . uh , we wan na ask her ... will : yeah , if we can adopt her baby . eric : wow . will : yeah , we know it 's kind of a big decision . eric : i , uh -- i was n't expecting that . and to be honest , i 'm sure allie is n't either . rafe : okay , order should be up in a minute . i got you something . allie : thanks . i 'm actually kind of starving . rafe : yeah , figured . so , anyway , what 's this important , private thing that you wan na talk to me about ? allie : okay . well , first , i just wanted to say how great it was to talk to you the other day . you were so supportive and sweet , just like you were when i was growing up . rafe : well , of course . you know i 'm here for you , right ? anything . allie : yeah , i know . rafe : okay . allie : even though you 're not my real dad , you 've always been such a great dad -- the best . and i know you would have been just as great to david . it was really unfair for the judge to take him away from you . rafe : yeah . yeah , it was , but , uh ... i 'm gon na be okay . allie : i know you will . and actually , i think i have something to help , something to make you even more okay . rafe : oh , yeah ? what 's that ? allie : do you want to adopt my baby ? ciara : [ sighs ] ben : ciara , no matter what you -- ciara : ben , please don't . please just ... ben : do n't what ? you do n't even know what i 'm gon na say . ciara : you 're gon na say that the fact that claire was just polishing her nails and the fact that she offered to pay for the dress proves that she 's the one who ruined it . and why am i here , being so trusting and naive for absolutely no reason ? ben : actually -- actually ... ciara : what ? ben : what i was going to say is that i stand by what i said before and that no matter what you wear on our wedding day , you are going to be the most beautiful bride i have ever seen . and i ca n't wait to spend the rest of my life with you . ciara : oh . ben : oh . ciara : oh , well , in that case , i agree with you completely . [ tender music ] [ sighs ] claire : gwen , you just told ben that you believed me that i did n't ruin ciara 's dress . gwen : he was just being a stupid jerk . i was n't gon na just sit back and watch you take that . but look -- look . lo and behold , we 're alone again now . so tell me , claire . did you ruin the dress ? claire : of course not . gabi : so are you ready ? jake : well , your brother did say she 's handcuffed , right ? [ phone ringing ] you coming ? gabi : oh . well , vivian and i , we 're not really friends , so i was thinking you would do this alone . jake : okay . fine . gabi : hey . uh , just remember she loves you very , very much .

jennifer : no , i 'm just asking you if we can just take a little break for now , please . daniel : so that jj can see how much power he has over you ? jennifer : no , so he can see that i value his feelings , daniel , that i 'm listening to what he 's saying to me . daniel : in other words , you think i 'm the reason he 's acting out . jennifer , seriously ? jennifer : no , daniel , i do n't -- daniel : seriously , breaking up with me is not gon na fix your son . jj : what did you say ? theresa : well , i heard you say that your stash was too good to sell , and , well , that means that there 's only one other thing that it 's good for , hmm ?

[ knock on door ] harold : excuse me , ma'am . the police are here . they have a warrant . sami : what ? harold : how many times have i had to say that ? hope : roman , marlena ... i did n't expect to see you here . roman : well , we are the parents . sami : i just do n't understand , another warrant ? i mean , hope , have you ever heard of piling on ? what , are you gon na arrest me , now ? hope : we got another tip . one of the hottest days of the year , and you had a fire ? sami : i , um , felt like having hot dogs . hope : sami ? i know you married him , but you keep getting in deeper . roman : hope , does she need a lawyer ? cop : detective brady . hope : excuse me . sami : [ sighs ] hope , n -- pl -- hope : planning a little trip ? sami : [ scoffs ] ej : please , do n't worry on my account , rafe . i 'm all set to go before a judge , i 'll get bail . i 'll be at that stockholders meeting . rafe : if you say so , ej . if you say so . sami : of course , we 're planning a trip . it 's called a honeymoon , hope . hope : with all the kids ? all using false names ? sami : i do n't know where those came from . hope : i hear morocco is absolutely lovely at this time of year . yeah , there 's great food , an international music festival , pristine beaches ... everything anyone would ever want . and guess what else ? no pesky extradition treaty with the united states . marlena : i do n't care for your sarcasm . hope : it 's not sarcasm . the tip we got was on the flight plan , filed by the dimera jet , bound for casablanca . so i 'm guessing that you and ej were planning on setting up house there at the dimera compound ? roman : ok , sami , now would be a good time to stop talking . hope : roman , i have a warrant to confiscate these , along with the ones with their real names . sami : you can get them from harold , along with anything else that you think you need . but i can tell you one thing for sure . ej is going to beat this . and , once again , he will succeed in making the salem p.d . look like a bunch of damn fools . paige : okay . [ sighs ] if you 're not going to say anything , then i will . this lawsuit thing ... maybe you thought you had to do it , but could n't you ... have given me a heads up ? instead of having me find out right in front of jj ? do you think that was fair ? eve : okay , you know what ? we 're gon na talk . we will . but it 's not gon na be about the lawsuit -- but for the record , i want you to know that i was completely in the right there , all right ? what i want to talk about is jj deveraux , and what kind of boy he is . jj : i 'm going upstairs to change . jennifer : it 's okay . maggie : whoo ! [ groans ] abigail : well , paige , is a sweetheart , but eve ? that woman is a stone cold bitch . maggie : i would n't say that . abigail : what ? maggie : well , she used to be a stone cold bitch . huh , she 's morphed into something much worse . jennifer : [ sighs ] abigail : did you see the look on paige 's face ? w -- she had no idea about that lawsuit . this -- this woman did n't even consider her daughter 's feelings . jennifer : no , you 're right . she did not even consider how her daughter would feel . abigail : mm . jennifer : and -- and i feel for her , i do . but , right now , your brother is my first priority . and i need to handle this right , for his sake . and i 'm gon na need both of you to help me do that . maggie : okay . abigail : yeah . maggie : [ exhales ] jennifer : aunt maggie , i 'm just asking you not to say anything to anyone . not even victor -- or daniel , please . maggie : you mean , the two people i 'm not supposed to tell , who would be in your corner , who would help you deal with -- with that -- that word that i do n't wan na use ? jennifer : right , it 's just for a couple of days . maggie : oh , my , ok -- do n't you think daniel should at least be told ? i mean , i know you two are taking a break from each other ... jennifer : you know what , aunt maggie , it 's not that i want to keep it from daniel , or that i think he would feel obligated to do anything . i just want it to be settled . eve would absolutely love it if this whole situation were the talk of the town . maggie : hmm . jennifer : but , i just think if i lay low , aiden can make this whole thing go away . so , please , for a couple of days , just do n't let it go any further . maggie : [ exhales ] of course . i wo n't say a word , i promise . jennifer : thank you . maggie : i 'm just sorry that you 're having to deal with this . i mean , something so petty , so mean - spirited . especially now . jennifer : well , thank you , aunt maggie , but i 'll get through it . we 've dealt with a lot worse , have n't we ? abigail : yeah , we have . maggie : well , [ laughs ] i should be getting home . abigail : oh , i 'll take you , aunt maggie . jennifer : oh , thanks , honey . maggie : thanks . abigail : yeah . jennifer : that 'd be great . abigail : i 'll see you later , mom . jennifer : love you . abigail : love you , too . maggie : i love you , jennifer . and if you ever need to talk -- jennifer : i know that you 're there . thank you . love you . maggie : i love you . thank you , that 's so sweet of you . [ laughs ] jj : hey . jennifer : hey . uh , i am so sorry about today . jj : why ? no , it 's not -- it 's not your fault , it 's okay . jennifer : no , i know it 's not my fault , but , i 'm sorry that it 's causing problems for you . jj : oh , do n't worry about me , all right ? uh , there 's just -- there 's one thing that i -- i need to get straight . jennifer : yeah , what 's that ? jj : okay , well aunt maggie called paige 's mom eve donovan . does that mean that she 's related ... to t -- jennifer : to theresa . yeah , i 'm afraid so . eve : we 're not talking about smoking in the boys room , sweetheart . this boy was dealing drugs . he was arrested for shoplifting , assault , trying to destroy the town square , named after his own family . paige : so , you did google him . eve : no , i did n't . your aunt theresa told me all about him . paige : what does she have to do with any of this ? eve : she was involved with him , sweetheart , in every sense of the word . so , um ... the drugs , his , uh , criminal activity , his violent streak , they -- that does n't bother you ? it 's just his relationship with theresa does ? paige : [ sighs ] he told me there was some girl . eve : `` some girl . `` your aunt theresa is a woman . and it 's no secret she 's a very troubled woman who has a history of choosing men , sweetheart , that are even worse than her . honey , that 's why i needed to tell you what she told me . paige : no . whatever happened is in the past . jj is different now . eve : and the check 's in the mail ? honey , people do n't change . they just get older . and i 've had to learn that the hard way , and you will too someday . hey , look -- look -- look at me . paige : [ exhales ] eve : you 're just too trusting . i mean , you always have been . but , that 's why i 'm here . that 's why i 'm back . i 'm gon na make sure that we do what 's best for you , okay ? sami : ej , why did n't you tell me ? ej : tell you what ? sami : why did n't you tell me that you had planned for us to leave the country , right after the wedding ? ej : what are you talking about ? sami : hope . she showed up at the house . they had a search warrant . i had barely changed , and there they were , looking through all of our things . they found them . they found the money , they found the passports . i mean , you left them out , ej . you left them on the table . they were just under some files . if you 'd told me , i would have hidden them . ej : i did n't tell you , because i did n't do it . hope : what 's your first impression ? rafe : that was very sloppy , even for ej . hope : fits right in with the theory that someone 's setting him up . rafe : uh - huh . hope : so who has an ax to grind ? rafe : who has the most to gain if he misses that meeting ? ej : how did they get the warrant , do you know ? sami : i guess they got some sort of tip that you had filed a flight plan with the dimera jet , for us to go to morocco . ej : all right , i 'm sure a flight plan was filed , but not by me . that 's what rafe was doing down here earlier , smirking . sami : what ? ej : oh , he came down here to gloat . rafe : that son of a bitch . [ scoffs ] so , i guess it 's not enough that stefano ruined our wedding night . ej : no , no , no . that was just his opening gambit . see , he uses rafe as a pawn . and he gets his guys to go into the house . they drop off the money and the passports . they hide them almost in plain sight , while i 'm arrested , and you and i are busy down here . sami : because stefano knows -- ej : if i 'm a flight risk , i 'll be denied bail . then i ca n't attend the bloody meeting . sami : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . i should have stayed at home . i should have protected us . i had no idea -- i just wanted to be here with you . ej : hey , hey , hey , hey , hey . none of this is your fault . and if that bastard thinks he 's gon na get away with this , he is mistaken . paige : [ sighs ] i do n't have it in me to talk about this anymore . eve : all right . sweetheart , i can see that you need some time to process everything that you found out about the lawsuit . and , as i need time to process everything i found out about jj deveraux . oh , honey , i 'm so sorry . i 'm so , so sorry . today was supposed to be all about you . you , and your wonderful accomplishments . i am just so , so proud of you , beautiful girl . i am . and i only -- i only want what is best for you . paige : i know that . [ phone ringing ] eve : oh , gosh . oh , sweetheart , i got ta take that . it 's -- it 's the lawyer . uh , hold on just a moment , please . everything 's gon na be okay , sweetheart . it will , it will . yes , hi . paige : maybe for you . jennifer : uh , so , yeah , obviously that means ... that theresa is paige 's aunt . jj : this is a great day . i mean , that was -- that is some great news . jennifer : i 'm sorry , i know ! this is supposed to be your day . i have an idea . why do n't we go out for pizza , to the place where they fly the dough in from new york ? jj : mom , i appreciate you trying , but i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm not up for going out tonight . i 'm sorry . jennifer : gosh , this is such a horrible situation , and you are stuck right in the middle of it . okay , well ... if you do n't want to go out , i will go in the kitchen and see what i can scare up for dinner . jj : hey , mom ? you really do hate eve , do n't you ? jennifer : i love you . and , right now , that 's all that matters . [ phone ringing ] paige : [ sighs ] hi . jj : hi , um ... just -- i - i just realized that i did n't get a chance to tell you how great you looked in , um , in your cap and gown . paige : you looked pretty good yourself . jj : [ laughs ] uh ... paige , i need to see you . paige : yeah , i - i need to see you , too . when ? how ? jj : well , actually , um , i have an idea . sami : i just do n't understand what you think we can do . if stefano keeps you from going to that board meeting , then there is no one there to stop him from gaining complete control of dimera enterprises . and then , with kate by his side , i mean , he will -- he will leave you with nothing , just because you wanted to marry me . rafe : well , stefano is the obvious culprit here . hope : looks that way . certainly strong motivation . it was at this very same time last year that ej ousted him from dimera enterprises . now , it looks like stefano wants payback from his son . rafe : would n't it be great if the two of them just went at each other with a vengeance , and just ended up destroying each other in the process ? hope : yeah , it 's all obvious , and it all fits . i just have this feeling that somehow it does n't add up . ej : marrying you is my greatest asset , and the best decision that i have ever made . and whatever father thinks he 's gon na get away with , i can assure you that the two of us together will make sure it does n't happen . sami : ej , you just tell me what to do . | ej thought that stefano was behind his arrest . sami thought kate could be helping stefano . hope thought someone wanted ej to get caught . rafe thought that hope assumed he wanted ej to get caught . rafe thought hope assumed he wanted to stop the wedding . rafe and hope continued to talk about who set ej up . ej and sami talked about how they were going to beat stefano . ej assured sami that he would get out of jail . hope got another anonymous tip . sami called someone and asked about the tip . roman and marlena talked about ej 's arrest . they were worried about sami and wanted to be there for her . |
hope : oh , my gosh . aiden : hey . hope : hi . i am so sorry . it look longer than expected . aiden : oh , no problem . hope : no problem ? you sure ? because when i was coming around the corner , it looked like you did have a problem . aiden : uh , well ... you know how we 've been round and round about keeping our professional lives separate ? hope : i do , yes . aiden : well , i know i 'm going to sound like a hypocrite here , but , um ... i need some information ... cop to lawyer . hope : clyde weston , right ? sonny : the truth is , the things that have gone wrong for us , a lot of it was my fault , not yours . will : s - sonny , no , that is n't true . sonny : okay , let me explain . of course , you 're responsible for what you did . but i need to take responsibility for what i did too . will : are you -- are you talking about paul ? sonny : no , you ... and everything i 've done to you from the very beginning . serena : look , roman , i - i understand . right now i 'm holed up in my hotel room . roman : not leaving town . serena : not leaving town . roman : serena , make sure you stick with that . serena : i know that you do n't think much of me right now , but when i make a promise , i -- roman ? roman ? ugh . [ sighs ] victor : listen , daniel , i 'm sorry i did n't get back to you before today . i know you left a slew of messages . daniel : yeah , forget it . we 're here now . victor : yeah , i 'm glad . so you two have really been through it the last couple of days , to say nothing of eric and nicole . can i get you something ? daniel : yeah . answers ... about xander . [ door opens ] xander : commissioner . so , uh , what 's next for me ? my understanding is that within 24 hours , the police -- roman : shut up ! just shut the hell up , you son of a bitch . you 're not gon na get away with what you did to my son . xander : i guess that means i 'm free to go . nicole : i 'm almost ready , daniel . you know , a girl needs a few more minutes to prepare before she -- eric : we need to talk about what happened . nicole : yeah , okay . well , what i 'd really like to concentrate on is , um ... look , we went through a really scary time , and we 're still alive , still ticking and kicking , and is n't that what matters most ? eric : what about the fact that we almost made love ? roman : okay , cook , kiriakis , whatever the hell your name is , here 's the deal . we 've got two victims that say you tried to kill them , and we have your alibi . xander : which i assume you checked . abe : we did . and there are several people in chicago who swear you were there all night . roman : and if they 're lying , they 'll go down with you . abe : we traced pings off cell towers showing that you used your phone when you were in chicago . roman : or somebody did . abe : and your credit card was swiped a couple times . so the upshot is the da is not going forward at this time . xander : thank you , commander carver . abe : you know , you 're still a person of interest . we 've got eyes on you . do n't leave town . xander : i would n't think of it . and , please , give your son and miss walker my sympathies . abe : fella , if i were you , i would n't push my luck . victor : brady filled me in on what my nephew did . all i can say is it 's hard to fathom and absolutely unforgivable . i understand the police have him in custody . daniel : they do . victor : and he 's been charged ? brady : he must have been by now . daniel : i called the station , but they had n't gotten back to me . victor : well , still , you must be relieved . god knows i am . the man should n't be walking around free . daniel : well , that 's why we came to talk to you , because you 're the one who freed him . nicole : what happened ... what almost happened ... well , it was -- it was complicated , right ? i mean , not -- i 'm not saying it 's not important . i 'm -- what am i saying ? i 'm -- when we were fighting for our lives , things were so overwhelming . eric : yes , i know it 's true . nicole : but now ... i mean , thank god we 're not in that position anymore . we can put that behind us and ... you know , we do n't have to worry about it anymore . we do n't have to think about it . eric : [ scoffs ] what are you trying to say ? you want me to just forget about it ? nicole , we ca n't pretend we -- what we almost did never happened . i ca n't , and i wo n't do that . i will take beauty into my own hands ... where it belongs . aiden : why did you say clyde weston ? hope : because ... [ sighs ] because he 's been a problem for us before . aiden , when you brought up the idea of keep things separate and then -- aiden : you jumped right to weston , like you had information on him . i thought you said you stopped investigating him . hope : i have . aiden : look , if there 's something that you know , i 'm sure there 's a -- hope : whoa , whoa . try not to assume , okay ? aiden : then why is weston the first person you thought of ? hope : a little while ago , something fell into my lap about your client . i 'm sorry . i reacted the wrong way . aiden : [ sighs ] okay , what fell in your lap ? hope : clyde weston , your client .. had a meeting with stefano dimera . sonny : will , we love each other . will : yes . sonny : we have a lot in common , but at the same time , we 're very different . will : well ... okay . sonny : i 've known who i am for a long time . i figured out who i was and how i felt . it 's been a long time since i came out . i 've been able to live in the open . i 've traveled the world , had relationships . will : you mean -- you mean paul ? sonny : no , not just pa -- that 's what i 'm trying to say . it was very hard for you to come out , sometimes overwhelming . will : but , sonny , i had you . you were always there for me . sonny : and that 's what i 'm talking about . anytime it was rough for you , you came to me for help . will : and you were there . sonny : yes , i tried to be , but i also took advantage of you . victor : you 're not talking about the charges alexandros was facing in scotland ? brady : murder charges . daniel : you helped him get it knocked down to simple misdemeanor . victor : i wish to hell i had n't . listen , you two did n't come here today thinking i had something to hide , did you ? daniel : do you ? victor : of course not . he was my nephew . he was a screwed - up kid . i just thought at the time that he needed a break . daniel : so you had your lawyer file an appeal , promise he 'd leave the country . victor : you take care of family , daniel ... especially when they 're young . if i 'd known how he was going to turn out , i 'd have let him rot . brady : granddad , whenever we talked about xander , you were always very vague . victor : i did n't think the details were important . obviously , i was wrong . daniel : i think it would be good to know that he was charged back then with first - degree murder . victor : you know what 's baffling ? is that ever since then , he 's been very good at following orders . i mean , when you two told me he was up to no good , i let him have it . i told him to leave salem . brady : let me guess ... he promised that he would , right ? victor : well , obviously , he lied to me . brady : well , he 's in custody now . just do n't try to get your lawyers to help out this time , all right ? victor : that bastard 's on his own . nicole : eric , we can talk . of course ... of course we can talk , and i just -- i want you to know , please , that what you said ... i was so happy , so grateful . i mean , just knowing that everything i did to hurt you , all the lies and all the horrible things you said about me and how -- listen ... and how you -- how you felt about me , how you thought about me ... the idea that all of that was gone ... eric : i punished you . i punished you for way too long . i needed you to know that i was wrong . nicole , i meant every word i said to you right before -- nicole : i know , i know , before ... before we almost died ... when it was just ... just us ... and all those feelings ... they were so raw and so ... and then we almost ... okay , but now , i mean , this -- this time , this right -- eric , the thing is ... look , we went through -- through a horrible time and just knowing that you cared , that 's -- that 's what kept me going . but i love daniel . i do . i ... i want to be with daniel , and i - i thought ... i thought you already knew that . eric : i - i just thought we needed to talk it out . nicole : and we are , i 'm glad we are . i 'm glad that you pushed this ... because it 's given me a chance to ... to tell you how much you mean to me ... even if i still love daniel more than i ever have . eric , i hope you understand . you understand , right ? aiden : you know what ? i do n't want to know anything more about what fell in your lap . hope : then you 're in luck . that 's all i 've got . aiden : okay , well , now maybe you can call off whoever you have following my client . hope : aiden , i am not having him followed . aiden : no ? hope : but dimera , on the other hand , yes , he is always on our radar . aiden : fine . hope : okay , hold on a second . what ? you think i 'm lying ? you think i said i shut down the investigation when i did n't ? hey ... we can either talk about this , or we ca n't . aiden : we ca n't . hope : okay , fine . then i consider it dropped . what should we have ? aiden : you know what ? this was a bad idea . hope : wait a minute . ah , ah ! wait a second . no , no , no . you started off saying you wanted information , cop to lawyer , right ? you do n't get to walk away until you tell me what the heck is going on here . will : sonny , where the hell are you getting this stuff ? sonny : no , okay -- will : you never took advantage of me . sonny : hang on , okay ? hang on . that did n't come out right . but i did make a mistake . and here 's what i did wrong . i did n't know at the time , but , frankly , i should have been more responsible . we started this up , and i let it fall into a relationship . and i 'll admit -- it was incredible that i was the first man -- the only man that you 've ever been with . will : sonny , i love you . you 're the only man i 've ever loved . sonny : but you slept with paul . and you slept with that guy in los angeles . i 'm not mad at you . i 'm not blaming you , but something like that is not ndom . it means something that you slept with two other guys . it means that you were n't ready to get married . [ knock on door ] serena : [ sighs ] xander : hey . serena : you 're out . xander : free as a bird . see , i was in chicago when eric and nicole were getting all toasty . lots of people saw me and talked to me . i 'm solid . but that does n't mean i do n't have a problem . serena : meaning me , i guess . xander : saw that statement you gave to the police . serena : how did you see my statement ? xander : in it , you said that i was dangerous ... that i had a scary past , that maybe i had it in for nicole and eric . luckily for you , you did n't get more specific than that . serena : you mean lucky for you . xander : when the cops come sniffing around again , serena , and they will ... stick to facts . skip whatever you think i might have been up to . then you and i 'll be just fine . serena : is that a promise ? am i supposed to just forget about what you did to eric ? am i supposed to forget that you tried to kill the man that i love ? xander : [ chuckles ] sorry . yeah . the man you love -- i almost forgot . that 's the other thing we have to discuss . i need to make something absolutely clear to you about eric . eric : nicole , all i want is for you to be happy . i know it 's strange ... you know , after all this time to finally ... have the chance to be open and honest with each other . nicole : i know . eric : so how do you want to tell daniel about what happened ? i mean , it 's going to hurt him pretty badly . nicole : well , i , uh -- i almost told him . but i was n't thinking straight . i had ... cobwebs in my head . and then i started to see things more clearly . and i thought to myself , `` why ... why would we tell him what we almost did ? why would we hurt him ? `` i know that 's not what we both want , right ? eric ... let 's keep this between us . eric : you mean lie to him ? nicole : well , it 's not lying if -- eric : you mean you do n't want to tell daniel something that important ? nicole : but you 're not understanding -- eric : nicole , i 'm not gon na do that . i ca n't . all the feelings that i 've had ... back when we were together ... they came rushing back to me . and i know you had the same feelings too . nicole : well , i -- eric : nicole , that was a very important moment for us . we almost -- nicole : we did n't , though . we did n't . eric : nicole , i 'm not -- nicole : no , eric , we did n't ! and now we have to ask ourselves , what is the right thing to do ? do we really want to hurt someone that we both love ... and tell him something that we did n't do ? the answer is very clear to me -- do n't say anything ... not to daniel , not to anyone . eric : can you live with that ? can you take the time that we had together ... what we were feeling ... and just put it in a box ... like it was meaningless to you ? [ door opens ] daniel : i think someone 's ready to ditch this place . brady : hey , how about two people ? how 's it going ? aiden : [ sighs ] i , um ... i have this case . uh , there seems to be a lot of evidence against my client , but most of it came from a jailhouse snitch . hope : okay . aiden : yeah , this is a guy that you put behind bars , so i need anything i can get on the guy . hope : to discredit him . aiden : right . hope : mm . aiden : which means ... i need you . hope : [ chuckles ] aiden : mm . will : sonny , that is so bogus . do n't say things like that . it 's not right . sonny : will , it 's okay . will : no , no , it 's not okay , sonny , and it 's not true . i wanted to marry you . i want to stay married to you forever . sonny : that 's what i wanted too . but i did n't take into account what you needed ... before we got engaged , before we walked down the aisle , frankly , what you need now . will : i do n't want to listen to this . sonny : what do you want to do , will -- sweep everything underneath the rug , never face the truth ? we 're gon na end up hating each other . will : i could never hate you . sonny : you could . and you will if we do n't face these problems , if we do n't solve these problems . will : that 's what we 're doing , sonny . we are facing this . we will solve whatever . forget myers . you never liked that guy . from now on , you pick the therapist . how about that ? sonny : i want to understand what 's going on today . i do n't want to push this into some future therapy session . will : i 'm not trying to avoid what you 're saying , sonny . i 'm not . sonny : will , you know what happened when i found out that you slept with that guy in la ? the first thing i wanted to do was find paul and sleep with him . xander : true love is a wonderful thing . it makes life worth living . serena : stop . xander : it also makes people do some really stupid things ... like when you told eric about the diamonds . serena : i had -- xander : shut up and listen . i realize that you thought you were protecting poor eric the innocent . but you were n't , were you ? it 's not smart , serena . now daniel knows , nicole knows , the police know . it 's gon na make some of my business dealings much more difficult . serena : you ca n't -- xander : i 'm not going to tell you to shut up again ! here 's the good news . there 's no proof . it 's my word against your lies . all the emails have been wiped clean . that thing does n't look like it 's worth anything anymore . in fact , the only thing that 's left is that fat stack of cash sitting in your account . but you signed those contracts to write articles for my pharma company , so that covers that . [ inhales sharply ] in fact , the only thing that is n't covered is your big mouth . serena : i wo n't say anything . xander : oh , i really hope you mean that . it seemed to come out awfully fast , did n't it ? so i 'll make you this promise . if anything about my business ventures makes it from your mouth into a police file , i 'll know about it . and i 'll go after eric ... not you , him . serena : please do n't ... xander : i know that you are just dying to redeem yourself in his priestly eyes . but your first priority , first and foremost , should be to make sure there 's still an eric for you to redeem yourself to . okay ? i hope i have n't been ... [ sighs ] vague . [ door closes ] daniel : i went by the front desk , and i was told that kayla signed some release forms . brady : you are finally good to go . nicole : we were just talking about what happened and how lucky we are to be alive . brady : going over it in your mind has to be upsetting . i mean , the thoughts and the feelings and the fears that you had ... eric : i 'm glad you 're all good , nicole . thanks again for everything , guys . i 'm gon na go get some fresh air . so , if you 'll excuse me .... brady : is he okay ? nicole : like i said , we shared a lot . you know , it 's hard to deal with . daniel : yeah , no kidding . brady : uh , i 'm gon na catch up with him , see if i can talk to him a little bit . nicole : i think he 's pretty talked out . brady : just in case . nicole : okay . brady : see ya . nicole : what ? daniel : you still care about eric a lot . i see it in your eyes . nicole : yeah . okay , well , i mean , i 'm ready to go , if you ... daniel : wait . wait , wait , wait . you know , i 've been thinking . nicole : hmm ? daniel : it 's great that you 're getting out of here . but why go home and be alone ? why not come to my place ? nicole : just for tonight ? daniel : i was thinking ... for good . hope : martin o'leary . aiden : mm - hmm . hope : [ scoffs ] yeah , i remember him . i forgot what we finally charged him with , but , uh , he was a real con artist . talked a blue streak , definitely willing to say anything he thought might help his case . aiden : yeah , that 's what i was thinking . hmm . hope : i 'll text you . i know how much you hated doing this , but , really , i am happy to do it . and by the way , mr. jennings , you 're not a hypocrite . both : mm . hope : [ chuckles ] aiden : what ? what 's so funny ? hope : you may not be a hypocrite , but once you get what you want , you know how to flip the romance switch . that is for sure . aiden : oh . you see right through me . hope : yeah , i 'm a cop ... aiden : you are a cop . hope : what 'd you expect ? aiden : you are a cop , but you are so much more than that to me . you are , really . so are you ready for the , uh -- the holiday ? hope : are you kidding ? i ca n't wait . aiden : yeah , well , chase -- he 's super psyched for it . hope : yes , ciara too . she 's so excited . aiden : that 's great . what ? hope : you 've made such a difference in her life . i hope you know that . something was missing for both of us . aiden : without a dad ... hope : and then you came along ... and the sun came out . will : oh , my god . all this time you just wanted an excuse to sleep with paul again , and i gave it to you ... sonny : will ... will : [ stammers ] because of what i did . i knew you still loved him . i knew -- sonny : will , will , will , listen to me . i was hurt ... so i wanted to hurt you back . this is n't easy to admit , but it 's true . will : so ... you did ... hurt me . you slept with paul . sonny : no , no , i did not . that would be totally unfair , to him and us . but the thing is ... i started thinking . how did we get to where we are right now ? arianna was ten months old when we got married . will : we were in love . sonny : because i wanted to get married . it was my agenda . i had already asked paul . i was ready . will : so was i . sonny : you were n't . you were running around like crazy trying to deal . everything was so new to you . will : sonny , no , do n't do that to me . i knew who i was . i was fine , and i knew what i wanted . sonny : when you found out that you were gay , you jumped into a committed relationship . now , be honest with me . was n't it somewhat comforting to latch on to me ... to feel somewhat normal ? nicole : um ... daniel , i ... daniel : okay , yeah , i know it sounds kind of impulsive . but it 's not . i 've been thinking about this for quite a while . and , yes , i 'm the one always saying , `` let 's go slow . `` and , yes , i have some trust issues . but it hit me last night ... that if i had n't always been like that , then maybe this nightmare that you went through never would have happened . nicole : daniel , you ca n't blame yourself . daniel : no , no , no , that 's not what i 'm saying . i mean , just running all over hell , trying to get to you in time and fighting to get to you ... alive ... it just suddenly hit me like a bell . i do n't want you anywhere ... than right by my side . nicole : baby , that is so sweet . daniel : life 's too short . it 's too short . whatever time we got , we got to live , and we got to live it . nicole : [ chuckles ] daniel : right ? i was even thinking -- i 've always been so careful with parker , making sure that he does n't get too close to anybody ... in case things did n't work out , but ... my little man ... he loves you to death . nicole : i love him . daniel : please just say ... yes . one word , just one word -- yes . nicole : [ inhales deeply ] oh . i love you . brady : eric . you seemed a little off back at the hospital . hey , listen ... i know that xander put you guys through hell , locking you up in that room , but ... you survived . y - you 're fine . i mean , everything 's gon na get better . eric : of course . brady : is there anything you want to talk about ? sometimes that helps . [ chuckles ] maybe just ... do you want to talk about what really went on in that room , when you two were locked in there together ? will : that 's enough , sonny . seriously , you may think that you have everything analyzed , but you 're wrong . you 're just wrong . sonny : let 's talk about california . will : what about it ? sonny : that job was very appealing for you ... to take off , get out of here . i saw the excitement in your eyes . will : no , sonny , my family -- my family needed me . i was there to support them . sonny : it opened the door for you , will , to freedom , a chance to explore the new you . will : it was a job , sonny . that 's it . writing a screenplay -- it was the first time i 'd done something like that . it paid like crazy . sonny : do you remember what you said to me before you left ? you said that our life was boring . will : oh , hey , no , sonny , no , i did n't mean that . i was -- i was feeling defensive . sonny : look , i - i understand . you did n't say it to be mean . but if i had n't traveled the world ... if i had n't done the things that i did , i might 've thought being here was boring too . you never got a chance to do all that before we got married . will : sonny , let 's do that . let 's have an adventure . t can watch the club . we 'll do whatever you want ... anything . sonny : that 's not the answer . nicole : ha . oh ! daniel : what ? nicole : shoot . i ... left my discharge papers on the table . daniel : oh , boy . okay , i 'll be by the elevator . nicole : okay . roman : hey , daniel . is eric still here ? daniel : uh , he just took off . roman : ah , damn it . i 've been trying to call him . his phone must be off . daniel : well , he went out to get some air . what , uh -- what 's going on ? roman : i need to tell him something . i also need to warn you and nicole . daniel : what ? roman : xander 's out . victor : i want this to happen yesterday . there is to be absolutely no connection , no paper trail between alexandros and me . good . well , double - check and get back to me . [ cell phone ringing ] xander : uncle victor . victor : you better be on a burner cell . xander : i am . it 'll be destroyed when we 're finished . i just wanted you to know that i am out of police custody . they essentially have no case . victor : well , stay away from me until you 're absolutely sure they have nothing to go on . xander : yes , sir . victor : oh , and do n't call me . i 'll call you . xander : i understand , uncle . victor : like hell you do . if you understood , you would n't be in the mess you 're in . trust me , i do n't give a damn about you , but i do about myself . i do n't want my wife or daniel or brady or anybody knowing that we 're connected . is that clear ? xander : yes , sir . victor : if any one of them finds out , you do n't want to think about what 's going to happen . xander : [ sighs ] brady : you know you can tell me anything , right ? eric : i always think of myself when it comes time to make a choice . i always think i know which way to go . right now i 'm ... i 've never been so confused . [ sighs ] brady : you mean because of xander ? you 're not gon na refuse to testify , are you ? eric : no , no , i 'm going to testify . in fact , in a way , i just ... i just feel so strange about what happened last night . brady : eric , you knew the guy back in africa . obviously , he 's good at fooling people . you 're not responsible for what went down . eric : brady , i know that you 're trying to help me right now , but ... [ sighs ] all right , i 'm just so exhausted . i just ... i think the best thing for me to do is be alone ... so i can think . brady : okay . all right , but just so you know , i have a ... i have a son that i want to show you . so you might want to come by the house . he 's a fantastic reminder that life is really good . talk to you soon . daniel : why in the hell would the da say she has no case ? roman : his alibi 's rock - solid . we 're still trying to break it . daniel : what about nicole 's word , eric 's word ? what , that means nothing ? roman : of course it does , daniel , but you know we need more than that , and like i said , we 're working on it . [ cell phone ringing ] roman : all right , i got to get back to the station . you tell eric what i said . also tell him i 'm doing everything i can . daniel : damn it . nicole : daniel , hey . is something wrong ? aiden : [ sighs ] hope : what ? aiden : all right , sorry , but i just -- i ... i 'm having a little trouble getting that little fight we had out of my head . i have to ask , is clyde weston always going to be an issue for us -- hope : bah - bah - bah ! shh . tell you what . aiden : what ? hope : let 's agree right now to forget all about him , okay ? deal ? aiden : been there , done that . okay , do n't you remember coming to my office , telling me that it 's okay if i represent him ? i do n't know -- maybe that was just some word game with you . will : then what is the answer ... for us ? sonny : you said before that maybe we should try a new couples ' therapist . i think it 's a good idea . will : done . sonny : but i also think you should try your own therapist ... alone ... someone to talk to , get advice from , without having to worry ... what i 'm hearing or what i 'm saying . will : [ sighs ] that 's , um ... that 's huge . sonny : will ... i would n't trade what we 've had for anything . but these last six months ... we both know we ca n't go on like that , right ? we got to take every day and use it ... figure out where we 're going . and i think we can get through it ... no matter what . will : [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] eric : [ sighs ] serena : i 've been looking for you . i am ... i 'm so sorry . eric : i do n't want to hear how sorry you are ... or more excuses or how much you love me ! serena : i 'm not ... i 'm not talking about that . i 'm talking about xander . daniel : uh , listen , i just got some news , but not here , okay ? let 's just go to my place and talk in private . i think someone is itching to get out of here . nicole : yes . daniel : yeah . dr. jonas , dr. rich needs you to look at a patient 's arm . he asked if you 'd hurry ? the man 's agitated . daniel : okay , okay , uh , this will be quick , all right ? do not go away . nicole : okay , i wo n't . right here . [ chuckles ] | eric wanted to talk to nicole about how they almost had sex . nicole let eric know that he means something to her , but she 's in love with daniel . sonny blamed himself for a lot of the problems he had with will . sonny has been out for years , but will is still adjusting to being gay . aiden wanted hope to stop investigating clyde . hope wanted answers , but he could n't give her any . hope was willing to drop it for now . sonny realized that he pushed will to get married . will did n't want sonny to keep blaming himself for what happened between them . xander went to serena 's place to tell her not to testify against him . eric just wanted nicole to be happy . eric asked nicole if she was going to tell daniel what happened . nicole wanted to keep it between them . eric did n't want to lie to daniel . nicole panicked when daniel and brady arrived in her room . |
sonny : what are the advantages of the new hires ? they wo n't have a personal agenda . as for the remaining staff , i am so proud of their dedication and hard work . i know that we got off to a rocky start , but i am confident , if we work together as a team , we will bring titan success it 's never seen before . [ beep ] justin : finally , a ceo i can be proud of , and he happens to be my son too . sonny : yeah , well , you were n't so proud when i fired the 50 employees that deimos hired in my first week . justin : well , you asked me to reserve judgment until you had the chance to get settled , and now that you have , i can see that you 're taking titan in the right direction . sonny : well , thank you for the support -- from you and uncle vic . it means a lot to me . with deimos out of the picture for good , nothing 's gon na stop me from achieving everything i set my mind to . gabi : i still ca n't believe he 's really dead . rafe : well , i 'm just sorry you had to be the one to find him . gabi : yeah , yeah , i could 've done without deimos ' dead body appearing and shocking the hell out of me . but you know what ? after everything that he 's put me through , what i ca n't stand is that jj is being held for his murder . and until the police -- rafe : yeah . gabi : have evidence to prove that , there 's no way that i will ever believe it . [ phone ringing ] jennifer : i do n't understand how they can hold you here without any solid proof . jj : lani 's account of me attacking deimos -- it 's pretty damning , mom . abigail : she was high on halo like everybody else . no one was thinking straight . jj : the guy 's blood 's on my shirt . i keep thinking if i did kill him , i 'd at least remember shoving that knife in his chest . jennifer : right , you do n't remember because you did n't do it . jj : look , i appreciate your faith in me , both of you , but knowing how much i hated this guy , i ca n't help but think it 's possible i did kill him . [ somber music ] [ beep ] chad : [ sighs ] do you want to be my wife ? abigail : yes . chad : okay . abigail : okay . [ dramatic music ] chad : why ca n't i stop thinking about her ? [ dramatic music ] rafe : listen , as far as i know , jj has n't been charged with anything , and trask -- i doubt she can even make a case with the evidence that she has . gabi : and you do n't think lani 's testimony 's damning enough ? rafe : lani was drugged just like everyone else . gabi : okay , but what about the blood on jj 's shirt ? rafe : the blood on his shirt , come on . you know , a halfway decent defense attorney could come up with 100 reasons as to why it was there . gabi : do you think he did it ? rafe : i do n't know . honestly , i do n't know . but even if he did , he was under the influence of a hallucinogen , so he might not be held accountable . gabi : okay , but listen , even if he was following orders or acting to protect some sort of innocent party , it -- the guilt of killing a living soul -- i mean , i -- i 've seen the man be upset because he could n't help a victim because he did n't have time for them , maybe because he could n't , and -- why are you looking at me like that , rafe ? rafe : just sounds to me like you still have feelings for the guy . [ light music ] jj : the reason i became a cop was the protect the people i love . and i thought , when i became a detective , i 'd finally be able to bring down deimos . guess in -- in the end , even dead , he ended up taking me down . [ knocking ] dario : hey , um ... abigail : dario , um , what are you doing here ? dario : i 'm so sorry to interrupt , but i need to speak to you . it 's important . jennifer : this is important too -- abigail : mom , please . [ delicate music ] um ... i 'll be right back , okay ? i promise -- i 'll be right back . [ delicate music ] [ door closes ] jennifer : we 're both alike , you and i. i will do whatever it takes to keep the people i love safe . jj : are you talking about me now , mom , or abigail ? [ melancholy music ] abigail : i do n't know what this is about , but i really need to be in there with my brother . dario : i know you 're worried about your brother , and i am sorry to take you away from him , but for me this is a question of survival , of life and death . abigail : what do you mean ? what happened ? dario : i -- i ca n't talk to you about it here . will you -- will you please come with me ? [ smooth music ] abigail : thank you . dario : mm - hmm . so i just learned that check on me sooner than later . abigail : how soon ? dario : i do n't know . could be tomorrow . could be today . since they 've gotten more aggressive with the laws , they 've amped up the screening process , so if they sense that something 's not 100 % legitimate , they can just arrest and deport me on the spot . abigail : and if you 're deported , um ... dario : yeah , i 'm pretty sure my mexican drug lord pal will be waiting to take me out the minute i cross the border . abigail : [ sighs ] dario : which is why it would be better , if the officials do come and check on me , that we are already married . abigail : my brother is being accused of murder . i ca n't really just run off and get married . dario : i know , i know , i know , i know , i know , i know . the timing ... sucks . but if i get kicked out of the country , i 'm not gon na have a future . abigail : yeah , i get that , but i just ca n't do -- i ca n't do that . dario : having a five - minute ceremony is n't gon na stop you from being there for your brother . abigail : i -- i know , but i j -- i mean , it 's just the idea . i mean , the idea that i would run off and do something that is supposed to be joyous and life- affirming , but meanwhile , my family 's going through hell -- dario : w -- okay , but would it -- would it help them if you deny yourself that joy ? abigail : okay , i 'm sorry , did you say deny myself joy ? this is n't a real marriage . it 's -- this is n't going to bring me any joy in the least , and , i mean , i 'm sorry if that sounds harsh , but i ca -- dario : no , i get it . i -- i understand . and i did n't mean that it would bring you actual joy . what i meant was it would n't be so strange if you were to do something positive and life - affirming , like you said , while your brother 's going through this rough time . i mean , you could use it maybe as a way to lessen the pain . people do that all the time . abigail : oh , come on . you know damn well nobody is gon na look at a marriage between you and me as a joyous , life - affirming occasion . it 's ... dario : yeah . i suppose not . that 's not it , is it ? abigail : what 's not it ? dario : you caring about what other people think -- that 's not you . maybe you 're having cold feet . abigail , i 've told you before , if you 've changed your mind , i 'll understand . but i need to know , and i need to know now , if you will marry me today . gabi : rafe , you know how some drugs make you say or do something that you normally do n't do ? rafe : oh , boy , did you -- did you do something when you were on halo that you regret ? gabi : i did n't stab deimos if that 's what you 're asking me , no . rafe : that 's not what i 'm asking . gabi ... gabi : i danced , okay ? rafe : danced ? gabi : yes , yes . rafe : you mean , like you danced on the table ? gabi : no , i danced with jj . rafe : so what 's wrong with that ? gabi : it was n't -- it was n't the dance part , that was -- i do n't know . rafe : what -- what part was it ? do i even -- do i want to know ? gabi : no , it was the way he made me feel when he was holding me . i felt like i was just ali -- i do n't -- it sounds -- this is weird , but it was -- rafe : sounds intense , huh ? gabi : yes , it was intense . it was intense because , at that moment , i felt like i was still in love with him , okay ? jj : this is the last thing you need , i know . jennifer : mm - mm , do n't you worry about me , 'cause i 'm fine . and you will be too once -- once the police see that you 're innocent . jj : i know you want to believe that . jennifer : 'cause it 's true . i gon na make some calls , but i will be -- i 'll be right out here , okay ? [ dramatic music ] [ phone rings ] hope . hope : oh , jenn . jennifer : oh , my goodness , thank god that security footage exonerated you and rafe . wait , what are you doing here ? hope : well , my job , i hope . jennifer : no , they said that you were in the hospital . they would 've have released you this quickly . hope : well , they did n't . i snuck out . jennifer : wait , you what ? hope : i snuck out . jennifer : why would you do that ? hope : 'cause i need to be here for you and jj . jennifer : no , you need to be in the hospital . i 'm taking you back there . hope : no , jenn , listen , i need to make sure the whole truth , the real truth , comes out about everything and make it very clear that a crime was committed under extraordinary circumstances -- jennifer : wait , you mean because everyone was on halo , right ? hope : yeah . justin : i 'm headed over to the police station right now to represent jj . i 'll do everything in my power to free him . sonny : i just wish i could do more to help jj . but unfortunately , i just do n't remember anything about -- i 'm gon na have you arrested ! deimos : you know what ? that 's almost as funny as you running titan . you do n't wan na make this any harder than it has to be . you can either give me the amulet , or i can take it from you . justin : sonny ? you okay ? sonny : yeah , i 'm good . i 'm just -- i 'm just -- i 'm just fuzzy from the halo , i guess , you know ? but i 'm happy that you 're helping out jj . i think that 's great , and i 'm sure you 're gon na prove that he did n't kill deimos . justin : yeah , i hope you 're right . [ dramatic music ] sonny : is it possible that i -- no , no , no , no , i would 've remembered if i had . paul : remember what ? sonny : how long you been standing there ? paul : long enough to see that something 's bothering you . you wan na tell me what it is ? [ dramatic music ] sonny : it 's just work . paul : you 're not planning on doing another mass firing , are you ? sonny : no , no , no , as strongly as i felt about getting rid of all the people that deimos hired , it 's hitting me now just how jarring that was for the company , and i need to be extremely careful with the decisions that i make moving forward . paul : well , i knew you 'd come back to me . sonny : yeah , where did i go ? paul : to the mother ship , i thought . you know , i was starting to think that the sonny i knew had been taken over by aliens . sonny : come on , i was n't that bad . paul : maybe . but , you know , standing here , spouting logic and reason , it 's a far cry from the power - hungry despot who wanted to take over the world and did n't give a damn who he trampled along the way . sonny : luckily , i have you to keep my ambitions in check . paul : well , i 'm glad i 'm here . i 'm glad i 'm good for something . sonny : you 're good for a lot of things , paul . paul : what is it ? sonny : i do n't want to lie to you . paul : then do n't . sonny : i remembered something from last night . paul : i 'm listening . sonny : i was arguing with deimos in the corridor . and ripped the amulet from my neck . paul : then what ? sonny : nothing . i ca n't remember past that . i do n't know . paul : okay , okay , maybe you did n't argue at all . sonny : what do you mean ? paul : well , because of the drugs , maybe your mind conjured up a memory . look , look , either way , you said that you were arguing with him in the hallway , but they find deimos killed in the living room . i mean , there 's a time gap -- that someone could have stepped in . sonny : to finish the job ? is that what you mean ? paul : maybe . now , now , now , you have n't shared this memory with anyone ? sonny : no , no , no , only you . i wanted to keep it a secret . i 'm just worried that jj 's being held under false pretenses . paul : no , i called my sources downtown . i mean , they barely have a case . sonny : oh , so does that mean that he could be released ? paul : maybe by the end of the day . okay , um , unless things change , let 's -- let 's just keep this memory between us . rafe : so you 're saying that you do still having feelings for jj . gabi : no , it was just in the moment . it does n't -- it did not mean anything . rafe : oh , 'cause when the drug wore off , then you did n't have those feelings . is that what you 're saying ? gabi : no -- jj and i are in the past okay ? and that 's it . we 're done . rafe : you 're sure ? gabi : yes , i 'm positive . rafe : positive . gabi : okay , i 'm building a future with chad , and i could not be happier . chad : hey . jennifer : hey . chad : hi , how 's -- ? jennifer : hi . chad : how 's jj 's case coming along ? jennifer : uh , hope is interviewing him right now . chad : without a lawyer ? jennifer : he decided he did n't want anyone to represent him in -- for this preliminary interview . chad : okay , w -- if it 's about money , then i -- anything i can do to help ? jennifer : no , it 's not -- oh , thanks , but justin is gon na represent him , and , you know , give us the family discount , so he 's on his way here now . chad : okay . you sure there 's nothing i can do ? jennifer : actually , there is something you can do . chad : all right , name it . jennifer : you can talk abigail out of marrying dario . chad : uh , she divorced me , jennifer , so not sure i have much of a say . jennifer : she loves you . chad : how do you know that ? jennifer : i know -- i know that . chad : i 'm with gabi now , so . jennifer : that does n't mean you still do n't care about abigail . and even if you never get back together , you still share a child , so i think that 's reason enough -- chad : yeah , i -- i know , of course i care -- i care about abigail , her happiness means everything . jennifer : right , then why would you let her throw her life away and marry someone that is not right for her ? chad : everybody knows how i feel about dario , but she 's an adult -- she 's not gon na listen -- jennifer : what , so do you think it 's okay to just let her make this terrible choice ? chad : okay , you know what ? i came here to talk to her about something that 's not this , so , um ... she 's not with jj anymore ? jennifer : no , she was , and then dario came by and said that he needed to talk to her . chad : she just left ? jennifer : yes , and he said it was something very important . chad : okay . jennifer : and so she 's gone . i do n't know where they went . maybe the club ? i have no idea . chad : okay , the club , then i 'm gon na go . thank you . thank you . let me know if you need anything . abigail : is this your way of testing me to see i 'll really go through with this ? dario : you did n't answer the question . abigail : i told you i would marry you -- i announced it in front of my ex- husband . i do n't really know what else you need . dario : i need to know that you 'll do it today because , if immigration does pop in , i 'll already be legal . abigail : ugh , okay , but if they know that we are going to get married , then -- dario : what 's -- what 's the problem , abigail ? is it chad ? did something happen last night ? abigail : why would you ask me that ? dario : because other than you having cold feet or caring what people think , i ca n't think of any other reason of why you 'd be hesitating right now . abigail : nothing is going on with me and chad , but if that is what you are worried about , then -- dario : no , oh , no , no , no , i 'm worried -- i 'm worried about getting deported . okay , look , i know this is sudden , all right ? but the fact that we do n't have time to invite anyone , that i 'm not gon na tux , that you 're not gon na get a beautiful dress , should prove to you that this has nothing to do with romantic feelings on my part . abigail : but we ca n't just walk into a court and demand that a judge marries us -- we 've got to have an appointment , there 's the -- dario : i -- i already reached out to the courthouse to make an appointment in case you did say yes . ugh . courthouse is fully booked . mayor carver ? abigail : what are you doing ? what -- ? dario : i 'm gon na see if he can marry us . abe : why , hello . you know , there does n't seem to be anyone here . can you take my order ? dario : of course , and maybe , while you 're waiting , you would n't mind doing a small favor for me and abigail . abe : well , how small ? dario : by the power vested in you by the good people of this town , would you pronounce us husband and wife ? let 's party ! you were -- dario : in love ? well , no , we -- we have been for a while . that 's why we can not wait any longer , because , you know what they say , once you 've found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with , you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible . abe : well , i would n't want it said that i stood in the way of true love , but , if the groom does n't mind , i would like to hear from the bride - to - be as well . abigail , i would do anything for you and your family . abigail : i know that , yeah . abe : so before i do this , i want you to look me in the eye and answer one question . is getting married to this young man , so soon after you got a divorce from chad , is that what you really want ? rafe : well , you 're not the only one who had a little halo - induced romantic moment last night . gabi : really ? you and hope danced too ? rafe : oh , yeah , we danced . yeah , we did , and i asked her to marry me . gabi : what ? no way . rafe : yeah , way . gabi : wait , rafe , what did she say ? rafe : well , she seemed willing , it 's just , um , there 's a little hitch . gabi : what do you -- ? okay , let me guess . you think because she was high on halo that she did n't mean it ? rafe : no , that 's not what i think at all . she seemed like she was totally genuine -- it 's just that she wants closure in bo 's death . and the only way she feels she 's gon na get that and get justice for him is by taking care of deimos . gabi : i mean , the guy 's dead . it sounds like justice to me , you know ? rafe : yeah , that 's exactly what i was thinking . gabi : okay , and ? rafe : okay , yes . so i 'm gon na propose again . gabi : yes ! rafe : but i need your help . [ jingling ] [ dramatic music ] chad : what -- you got -- you got the amulet now , you ca n't say hello anymore ? sonny : well , you obviously did n't want it , or you would n't have buried it in the sand . chad : i buried that thing for a good reason . sonny : well , i can think of 20 million good reasons to dig it up , and that 's what i did . chad : fair . i did n't believe that thing was cursed either , but i 'm telling you , it 's wicked , all right ? and the -- the party last night -- proof . sonny : so you 're blaming the amulet for deimos drugging all those people ? chad : yeah , he obviously wanted it , and drugging us was just the way he chose to do it . sonny : well , if it is bad luck , then deimos is the ultimate victim of the curse 'cause he was the last person to have his hands on it , and now he 's dead . chad : uh , no , except deimos is n't the only victim because jj 's life hangs in the balance . hope : this is what we know for sure . lani claims that she saw you attack deimos . justin : a memory that is highly suspect , since she was also under the influence of halo . hope : yeah , but there 's also the issue of the blood on his shirt from deimos . justin : strictly circumstantial -- could have happened any number of ways . hope : well , that is all we have so far . justin : in other words , you have no case . hope : and if there is no new evidence that comes to light in the next hour or so , the salem pd will have no choice but to let you go . until then , sit tight , and hope for the best . maybe even say a few prayers . [ dramatic music ] justin : looks like you 're pretty much off the hook . jj : we 'll see . justin : did n't you just hear what hope said ? they have no case against you . jj : so far . but even if i 'm not the one who stuck that knife in deimos ' chest , one of us did . she 's nationally recognized thing about picking out women 's jewelry , let alone the most important piece of jewelry that a woman could own . gabi : come on , you do n't have to worry -- i mean , your stylist little sister is going to help you , and i 'm not gon na disappoint , okay ? oh , i saw something in janet 's window that 's perfect . rafe : really ? gabi : yes , i did , yeah . rafe : okay , but hope has to like it . gabi : yeah , i mean , she 's gon na love it . not because it 's a stunner -- it 's because with it , she gets you . rafe : yeah , she does . it 's like a two for one bargain . gabi : yeah , seriously . look , it 's really important to find the right ring , but it 's more important to find the right guy . and hope did that . she chose you . rafe : that is very sweet of you . gabi : i love you . rafe : now let 's get out of here and find that perfect ring before someone else takes it , okay ? gabi : let 's go to janet 's . sonny : i 'm confident jj will be cleared . my dad 's working on getting him released right now . chad : yeah , so the , what , evidence is circumstantial ? sonny : i mean , thanks to deimos , none of us remember what happened . chad : except for lani . she saw jj attack him . sonny : and maybe she did . maybe it was the halo remembering . the bottom line here -- we might never remember who killed that son of a bitch . chad : who cares ? deimos has himself to thank for it . sonny : it 's kind of fitting , is n't it ? the victim 's own action providing a cover for the killer ? chad : yeah , well , yeah , i would n't say that maybe , you know , it wo n't come back to haunt someone . sonny : i mean , not as long as our memories do n't come back . chad : yeah , i 'm glad he 's gone -- along with the amulet . sonny : that thing really spooks you , does n't it ? chad : yeah , that 's what i get for not buying into my father 's superstitions . sonny : yeah , he did have a few that were out there , even for stefano . chad : for good reason . sonny : you think ? chad : yes . i never believed in luck . i believed that if you -- if you wanted something , you would just go out , and you would take it . sonny : and now ? chad : i do n't know . i 'm starting to think that maybe we do n't have as much control over our lives as we 'd like to believe . abigail : my marriage to chad was over long before we actually made it official , and i want to marry dario . and it would be really great to have somebody that i knew do it , but i understand if that makes you uncomfortable in any way . abe : yeah , well , i 'm going to call jennifer to see if she 's okay with this . abigail : i am an adult , and i think she 's kind of busy with jj right now , so . abe : i 'm not going to perform the ceremony without talking to your mother first . in fact , i 'll give her a call right now , so , excuse me . abigail : yeah . gabi : listen , i want you to like it too , okay ?

abe : i spoke to your mother . abigail : and ? abe : she gave her blessing . abigail : great . abe : grudgingly -- she did n't sound too happy about it . abigail : well , she will be . eventually . abe : all right . well , let 's do this . i do n't carry a wedding manual around with me , but i am going to try to do the ceremony from memory . and , given the hasty nature of this ceremony , i do n't suppose you two have written vows . dario : i -- i actually have something i want to say , if that 's okay with you . abigail : of course . dario : you 're so beautiful . you are so beautiful , inside and out . how smart , funny , and brave you are . but what i love most about you is your generosity , and i 've seen firsthand how you give yourself completely to the things that matter most . your family , friends , people you care about . you never hold back . you do n't hesitate . when you see somebody in trouble , you 're right there , putting their needs before your own , doing whatever it takes to make sure that they 're protected , safe , happy . no matter what it costs you . my vow is to love you with the same generous spirit you 've always shown me , to put you first . and to prove to you every moment of every day that i am worthy of all the times you 've done that for me . abe : abigail ?

kayla : thank you for coming out with me and , um ... spending this holiday together . nick : yeah , that 's all right . i 'm having fun . kayla : it 's strange , though , being here in salem on the fourth of july without a big brady - horton barbecue . they always do this , you know , big bash . but i guess with the big family wedding and all ... nick : oh , yeah -- your niece carrie and what 's the kid 's name , dallas ? no , no , no , austin . kayla : no , it 's actually lucas . he 's bill horton 's son . austin is kate 's son with curtis reed . nick : wait , i thought that was the marine , philip . kayla : no , no , no . that 's her son with victor kiriakis . nick : this is impossible . kayla : no , it 's not , really . when you get your memory back , it 'll all seem simple ... sort of . nick : if i get my memory back . kayla : you will . and maybe if we 're lucky , it 'll happen today . nick : how do you figure ? kayla : come with me .

[ scoffs ] it 's like you and dad never existed . mom , i - i know -- believe me , i know -- about all the stupid adventures that you used to go on , but that was just a part of the big love story , right ? you want to forget about dad ? you want to replace him with this joke of a relationship ? jennifer : [ sniffles ] jj : you know , fine , whatever . but do n't ask me to respect it . nicole : so , you were fine with tonight ? you -- you were good with that ? brady : oh , yeah ... yeah . nicole : kristen being 50 shades of bitchy and cruel , that was okay for you ? brady : nicole ... exactly . nicole : okay , you got it . brady : i do n't know . nicole : you knew she was toxic . oh , brady . brady : i know , i know . i know what you 're thinking . it 's like , did it really take a sledgehammer to bang me over the head to make me realize who she is ? yeah , i guess it did , but ... i 'll tell you what , if i have more nights like tonight , i mean , i 'm gon na be completely over that woman . nicole : the sledgehammer did n't work the first time ? you mean , you -- [ laughs ] brady : i 'm -- [ sighs ] i 'm this close . nicole : okay , i 'm sorry . brady : this close to -- do n't worry . seriously , like , every minute that goes by , i 'm more over her . nicole : okay . brady : all right . nicole : well , good . now take it in , soak it up , because you are so much better off . brady : [ sighs ] you 're right . you 're right . things are good . things are good . i mean , sami is free . by the way , play nice with her . nicole : [ clenched ] yes , of course i will . brady : and eric is feeling better , so ... life is good . daniel : [ sighs ] your arm ? that 's it , roll it up . there you go . i want to run a lot of labs , so -- eric : it 's okay , let 's do it . daniel : all right , come over here . eric : do every test you can think of , and let 's get to the bottom of this . daniel : here you go . kristen : my friend 's memory can never come back . you do realize how important that is for your personal well - being , do n't you ? chyka : of course , ms. dimera . you 've made it quite clear . kristen : everybody will find out what happened ... on my terms . my timetable . chyka : and nothing has changed to interfere with that . kristen : well , unless of course he remembers . or maybe there 's a trace of the drug in his system that will back up his version of events . you gave me your word . you promised me this drug was untraceable , now and forever . did you not ? chyka : certainly . it -- it should be . kristen : no , it better be ! untraceable , with no hint that can lead back to me . daniel : that 's it . we will have results soon . eric : good . i 'll pray for answers . | daniel was upset that jennifer wanted to break up with him . kristen told brady that he and everyone around him was going to be sorry . eric had visions of a bed while he was in the shower . nicole interrupted kristen and brady while they were arguing . kristen taunted nicole about her feelings for eric . brady and nicole were curious as to why kristen was so concerned about eric . eric passed out in the shower . daniel tried to convince jennifer that she 's a great mother and that she would be dealing with jj alone if she dumped him . she thought that was what she needed to do . he tried to get her not to push him away , but she thought he was making things worse for her and jj . she ended up leaving when parker 's babysitter showed up . kristen kept taunting nicole about eric , which upset nicole and brady . |

[ dramatic music ] [ knocks on door ] [ knocks on door ] andré : [ exhales sharply ] chad : where is she ? what have you done with her ? jj : all right , i 'll keep an eye on him . you can wait outside . chase : is ciara in some sort of trouble ? jj : this has nothing to do with you . chase : well , she did n't have anything to do with abigail escaping , if that 's what you think . jj : like i 've said , this has nothing to do with you . unless you 've got information that can help find my sister . chase : i do n't know where she went . why did n't she just go home ? that 's all she ever talked about . jj : she talked to you ? chase : uh , no , but i hear things , and i know ciara and abigail were close , but they hardly talked . jj : that 's not what some of the other patients told me . chase : well , some people just talk to get attention . so if you somehow think ciara helped abigail escape in some way , i can guarantee that 's not possible . jj : and why is that ? chase : because she was with me at the time everyone said abigail got away . ou the letter in my living room . andré : i would find that fortunate , would n't you ? chad : yeah , unless it 's one of your sick games that you use to make people suffer . in this case me . so you take it upon yourself to read it and then give me the news . andré : what 're you saying , chad ? are you implying that i know where abigail is ? chad : no , i 'm not implying anything . andré : what do you think i wrote the letter to stop you from looking for her ? you think i 'm in some sort of collusion with abigail ? chad : okay , well , thank you for spelling that out for me . now tell me where the hell she is . andré : you know , and you can keep your voice down , otherwise the whole town 's gon na hear you . chad : just tell me where she is , andré ! andré : i do n't know where she is ! chad : you 're lying ! andré : now why would i do that ? to what end ? chad : to what end ? to what end do you do anything to make people suffer , you son of a bitch . andré : [ scoffs ] would you just think logically for a minute ? just be rational . you and i , if you recall , had an agreement . there is something you have that i want . do you think it 'd be to my benefit to hide abigail somewhere ? why would i do that ? chad : just tell me where she is . andré : i have no idea ! i do n't know how many times i 'm supposed to tell you ! i do n't know where abigail is , and your angry accusation not withstanding , i wish i knew where she was . chad : [ laughs softly ] andré : all right , all right , all right . [ groans ] [ exhales sharply ] i did lie to you about one thing , but the only reason i did was because i did n't want you to be further traumatized than you already were . chad : okay , so what did you lie about then , hmm ? what did you lie about ? spit it out ! andré : i did n't find that letter . abigail gave it to me . i saw her . chad : if -- andré : that 's -- chad : you son of a bitch . andré : i tell you what , you either calm down ... or leave or we can sit here and talk rationally . which will it be ? [ tense music ] chase : she was in the reading room . i was out in the hall , but i saw her . jj : and you just sat there the whole time ? chase : what else is there for me to do ? i spent the whole day watching where she was so i could stay the hell out of her way . jj : that 's creepy , man . chase : i just do n't want this to be any harder for her than it has to be . i 'm telling you that ciara does n't know anything about abigail escaping , so why do n't you just talk to somebody who does ? [ soft dramatic music ] jj : ciara . ciara : yeah ? jj : i need to speak with you . will you step over here , please ? okay , i need you to account for all your movements before , during , and after abigail escaped . ciara : seriously ? jj : excuse me ? why the hell would i be joking ? ciara : you think i had something to do with this ? jj : you and abigail were close . you must have known how much she hated it here . ciara : yeah , but so did everybody . i mean , who likes it here ? jj : answer my question , ciara . ciara : okay , fine . i hardly even saw her while i was working . jj : okay , well , if you did n't help her out , then you got nothing to worry about . ciara : i did n't , but i 'm not sorry that she got out . and you should n't be either . jj : of course i 'm sorry . at least she was safe here . do you think it makes me happy that my sister 's missing , roaming around god knows where , in her state of mind ? ciara : no , i did n't mean that , okay ? it just seemed like this place was making her worse . jj : oh , right , and she 's much better off on the run . all alone , mentally unstable , no money , maybe hitchhiking across the country . yeah , that is a much better situation . ciara : come on , do n't be sarcastic . jj : no , i 'm trying to get through to you that it 's not good news that abigail is missing . whether she hated this place or not . ciara : i 'm sorry for being so insensitive . i just figured that if she was gon na leave , she 'd go home . that 's what i thought she wanted . that 's what chad thought she wanted . i ca n't believe that she 'd break his heart like this . jj : well , i 'm not convinced chad is being totally upfront with us . i think maybe he 's hiding something . if you know anything about that , you should tell me now . ciara : chad is a mess about this , jj . he 's not hiding anything . chad : wait , so you saw abby in the mansion ? andré : yeah . [ sighs ] she seemed so scared , so fragile ... emotional , but she felt she was doing the right thing . chad : and you just let her leave ? you did n't even try to stop her ? andré : well , of course i tried to stop her . chad : how ? andré : well , i -- i was trying to be persuasi -- i was emphatic ... [ sighs ] i tried to tell her to stay , and told her how much you loved her , how important that child was to her . chad : okay how did she react to all of that ? andré : well , she was ... she was kind of detached . i mean she was sad . there were tears in her eyes . she was emotional , but she felt she was doing the right thing . chad : and you did n't argue with her ? you did n't tell her that it was wrong . that it was the absolute worst thing that she could possibly do ? andré : chad , i could n't bind her physically . she 's a very determined woman . chad : okay , so then why lie to me ? why tell me that you found the letter ? [ dramatic music ] andré : [ exhales ] i was just ashamed ... chad : [ scoffs ] andré : that i could n't convince her to stay , and i knew it was going to be devastating to you , but it was her decision , and that 's why i knew that -- well , that 's how i felt , that the letter would be sufficient for you to realize that it was true . chad : you know , you make it impossible for anyone to believe anything you say . andré : i did try my best , and i -- i hope i can convince you that my heart was really in it . chad : [ laughs softly ] you do n't have a heart . andré : well , i hope this is ... [ chuckles ] does n't screw up our arrangement . well ... have a nice night . than for dropping by . [ phone rings ] rafe : hernandez . the salem inn ? what room ? i 'm on my way .

[ knocks on door ] hope : oh , no , i 'm sorry , i ca n't hold on . i 'll have to call you back . thank you . detective hernandez . what an unexpected treat , twice in one day . rafe : i need to ask you some questions . andré : is this about mr. monahan ? rafe : it 's not . why was aiden jennings visiting you in prison ? and why was he using an assumed name ? andré : hmm . hope : it was my idea to come here . [ soft dramatic music ] aiden : look , i 'm the one who brought so much pain into your life . if i was just honest with you from the beginning , if i never got involved with the dimeras then -- hope : then i never would have known you . i 'm just not ready . aiden : i understand . hope : you were right . it 's too soon . aiden : do n't want to force what 's not there . would n't even want to try . [ footsteps approaching ] ciara : chad ? chad : i thought you had to volunteer at the clinic tonight . ciara : yeah , i was shaken up so i asked if i could go home . so ... jj seems to think that you 're lying or , like , you 're covering something up . do you know where abigail is ? i swear , i wo n't tell anyone . i just want her to be safe . you know i got your back , right ? chad : i wish i did know . i wish i was hiding her . i wish i never sent her to the clinic . i wish that she never would have met ben . i wish i knew if my wife loved me . i wish i knew what the hell to do with my son ! [ dramatic music ] ciara : is there anything i can do to help ? chad : go check on thomas . [ exhales sharply ] hope : just gon na take more time , i guess . aiden : yeah . what if there 's nothing you can do ? hope : what do you mean ? aiden : what if ... you 're never ready ? hope : [ quietly ] i do n't know . aiden : i guess , you know , just ... being a few hundred miles away , i thought that would solve our problems . just wishful thinking , right ? it 's not salem . it 's not your house . what 's triggering all those horrible memories , hope ... it 's me . that 's never gon na change . andré : [ sighs ] do you know how many visitors i had while i was in prison ? rafe : besides your lawyer ? oh , i can count 'em on a couple fingers . feeling unloved ? andré : [ chuckles ] speaking of `` unloved , `` hope brady was one of those visitors . rafe : yes , i know . andré : she accused me of -- of , um -- of kidnapping and the disappearance of , uh , aiden . [ chuckling ] and then i had to get through this boring story -- preposterous story -- that the aiden look - alike was supposed to have been trying to kill her . rafe : yeah , but unfortunately with your family , it 's not so preposterous . it happened . andré : always blaming the dimeras . trite . [ sighs ] but now that my father 's gone , you 'll just have to find a new pastime . rafe : hmm , i do n't think so . andré : well , if my father did indeed substitute the aiden look - alike for the real thing , i had nothing to do with it . rafe : yeah , well , now that you 're father 's dead , it 's really convenient to blame him , but moving forward ... andré : hmm . rafe : it 's not gon na work so well for you . andré : is there a point to all of this ? i 'm just trying to make up for lost time . rafe : oh , you know what the point is . i did n't ask you why hope visited you . i asked you why aiden did . why do n't you want to answer ? [ dramatic music ] chad : well , what do you think ? ciara : i think somebody made her write this . i mean , maybe it 's her handwriting , but it does n't sound like her . chad : no , you 're right , it does n't . ciara : but who would do that ? who would want to keep her away from you ? ben ? chad : that was my first thought , but he 's locked up , so ... andré ? ciara : but why ? chad : i do n't know . to take advantage of me somehow ? ciara : so what 're you gon na do ? chad : i 'm gon na let him think it 's working . ciara : you really think that andré maybe has her somewhere ? chad : let 's find out . [ cell phone beeps ] chad : andré , it 's me . i lost my head and i overreacted . i 'm sorry . i need to see you . [ cell phone beeps ] chad : i 'm gon na track him down myself . ciara : wait , hold on . i do n't know if that 's the smartest move . chad : why not ? ciara : i mean , would n't it seem , like , kind of obvious ? did n't you guys just get in a fight ? chad : yeah . ciara : well , is there anything that he wants from you ? like some kind of peace offering or something ? chad : yeah , some stupid piece of property he wants me to sign over to him . ciara : well , try to make him believe that you 've changed your mind about it . otherwise , he 's gon na smell a trap . chad : you 're pretty good at this . ciara : i 'm a teenager . welcome to my life . chad : [ chuckles ] okay , so , i 'll bring him the paperwork . ciara : that 's good . chad : he 'll think i 'm weak and take advantage . ciara : you 're pretty good at this too . chad : welcome to my world . jennifer : what 're you doing to find her ? jj : we 're getting a search warrant for the dimera -- jennifer : i mean , do you really think that chad is lying to us ? jj : i 'm not leaving anything to chance . jennifer : do you really think he has abigail hidden somewhere ? jj : i think with him , anything is possible , and i think he 'll do anything , regardless of how foolish , to keep her hidden . [ cell phone rings ] [ cell phone beeps ] jj : deveraux . [ exhales ] okay , thanks , roman . i appreciate it . jennifer : what ? [ cell phone beeps ] jj : roman ca n't get a judge to sign off on the warrant at this hour , but it 'll be on his doorstep the first thing in the morning . jennifer : we do n't have time for that , jj . jj : mom , i think we need to focus on why andré 's suddenly involved . jennifer : and you really believe that andré is helping chad ? jj : i do n't know . i thought they hated each other 's guts , but , obviously , they 're doing something . another reason why we need to find abigail as soon as we can . at least chad loves her , but andré , he just cares about himself , and when he 's after something , mom , he does n't care who gets hurt . andré : why are you asking me ? i mean , do n't you have surveillance footage ? rafe : there 's no audio . andré : oh . oh , well , be as it may ... [ chuckles ] you know why aiden was visiting me . same reason hope was . he wanted to harangue me about the abduction i had nothing to do with , but it was the same conversation , different day . rafe : why 'd he use an alias , then ? andré : i did n't know that he did . maybe he just did n't want his name on record just in case he decided to murder me . rafe : well , he had to have known that there was video surveillance . andré : so how often do you look at it ? rafe : well , i know he went more than once . did you need a repeat haranguing ? andré : [ laughing ] yes , apparently . oh , by the way , he also wanted to ask me about a house that my father owned outside of town . rafe : oh , right , but unfortunately , that belongs to chad now , does n't it ? so why 'd he need to ask you about that ? andré : oh , that 's an interesting question . rafe : yeah . andré : maybe you should ask him . oh . [ sighs ] rafe : all right , i 'll be back . andré : hmm . i 'll wait with bated breath . [ chuckling ] [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] ah , thank you , thank you , thank you . aiden : the man who tried to kill you , he had my face , and , uh ... that 's never gon na change . hope : i really thought i was ready , but ... aiden : too much too soon , right ? [ sighs ] all right , well ... you know , i think maybe we should just ... head back to salem in the morning . what do you say ? hope : okay . aiden : okay . you know ... [ sighs ] i wish there was something i could do to make this easier . hope : i know . jj : andré left his room a little while ago , and chad stopped by to look for him after he already left . jennifer : oh , yeah , they 're definitely involved in this together . i ca n't even believe that chad would trust him over us . jj : he 's a dimera , mom . okay , we ca n't trust any of them . we need to find abigail and figure out a way to keep her hidden . i do n't care how much she loves him . i know that , in the end , he 's just gon na end up hurting her . chad : he was n't home . or he 's avoiding me . i should n't have made that call . i tipped him off . [ mouthing ] ciara : well , i think you can still get the upper hand . i have faith in you . chad : whoa . thanks . it 's good to have someone i can talk to . ciara : yeah . chad : someone i can trust . ciara : anything you need . i wan na help . chad : [ inhales sharply ] [ quietly ] hi . there you go . come here . oh . hi .

julie : i 'll call right now . jennifer : your dad dropped the charges ? that 's , uh , quite a change of heart . jj : i do n't -- i do n't think he has a heart . not after what he did to haley . he 's getting -- he 's getting something out of this , i just -- just ca n't figure out what it is . haley : yeah , but you -- you said that he told you he wanted to do something nice for his son . jj : it 's like mom said ... that guy is not my father . jennifer : i -- i think that jj 's right . i mean , i even told him that kayla recreated the drug that helped will get his memory back , hoping that he would want to take it , but no . he said he has no interest at all in remembering the man he used to be . eve : i 'm not hiding anything -- jack : yes , you are . i saw you . the way you went on about marlena just now ? you 're acting cornered . when you 're cornered , you go on this was felt all the way to vegas and across southern california . in an area with poor construction that can be devastating . we 've seen it in other parts of the world before . by the time it , of course , reaches to where we are in los angeles area , the intensity is much laureate . we felt it -- much lower yet . we felt it , and people were chiming in from different parts of california . hundreds of miles , hundreds of miles apart , declaring that they had felt it . was this stronger , lester , than other earthquakes that you 've experienced ? it 's among the strongest . keep in mind i covered the disasters in japan and also in haiti and they were sizable after shocks after that we had felt . but it 's been a long time since i felt one this -- that went on this long . i think they -- the length of it was what was -- disturbing , having been through these , sometimes it will feel like , okay , it 's a little rocky , and then boom , you 've got almost a second shock . this one was just this steady roll like you 're on the ocean . and in the past ten days , there have been two earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater centered nearby where this one hit . to what extent is there concern about aftershocks and potentially more earthquakes ? just from -- not having spoken to anybody about this particular quake yet , you know , aftershocks are almost a certainty when you get an earthquake of this size . whether they 'll be of a sides that we see here in los angeles is to be determined . i would expect just from the experience of covering a number of earthquakes that we would , you know , we would get some aftershocks along the way . lester , we are thankful that you and your family are safe . we appreciate your joining us . our joe fryer is in los angeles , as well . i want to get right to him . joe , at this point what 's the latest , any reports of any significant damage or injuries ? we 're checking around . so far there are no reports of significant damage or injuries . we know it was felt in the los angeles area , but we also know l.a. is a good distance away , a good two - hour drive from where this earthquake was centered . we are here in universal city , much like lester . we could also feel the earthquake . it was one of those situations where everyone sort of started to look around and go , is this an earthquake . again , we felt the same thing lester did . sort of a rolling motion which is very different from sort of an aggressive jolt . but it did seem to last longer than most of the earthquakes that we feel around here that are n't terribly aggressive . so the good news is no reports of any injuries . we know it was felt across california . someone in a live truck said it felt like someone had jumped on the back bumper and was jumping up and down . another person says that he was riding in a car and says he could feel the motion . some people looked up and felt like they could see sort of the buildings swaying a little bit in downtown los angeles . it 's something that nearly everyone seemed to notice , but it was n't so aggressive that we 're seeing things falling off of shelves or things being damaged to a serious degree . the big question will be if there are people who live closer to where this was centered , certainly it 's not as well populated out there . but -- was there nature severe damage out there . all indications are that this was a relatively shallow earthquake . those tend to cause more damage . it depends on how powerful the earthquake is and exactly where it happens . and we will continue to track that and those questions throughout the afternoon . joe fryer , thank you for that reporting . we will have much more tonight on `` nbc nightly news `` and continuing coverage about state - of - the - art . rex : aww , you make that yourself in shop class ? eric : yeah , well , i would n't mock it if i were you . i been tailgating with this thing at every packer game since we traded our first round draft pick for , uh , brett favre , actually . rex : looks like they used that at valley forge . eric : i prefer charcoal flavor over your propane fumes . actually , this contraption right here will beat your little thing on any given sunday . actually , any day of the week . rex : all right , well , game on , cheesehead . sarah : oh , wow , men being competitive . that never gets old . [ light music ] it is so good to see you in the flesh . it 's so much better than emailing . carrie : i agree , because in all your emails you never told me the real story about you and my brother . andrew wanted nothing to do with his volcano demonstration . sarah : uh , what -- what do you mean ? what story ? carrie : oh , well , i just was n't sure that you and rex would be able to work things out . sarah : oh ... [ laughs ] right , yeah , well , um , we did . we had to do some work , but we did do more than work things out , 'cause we got married yesterday . carrie : i heard . eric performed the ceremony . sarah : yeah , well , um , rex did n't really give him much of a choice . carrie : well , you look very happy . congratulations . sarah : thank you . i hope that we can be as happy as you and austin . carrie : well ... careful what you wish for . sarah : what does that mean ? carrie : that austin and i have split up . rex : not smelling any charcoal over there , man . you know what you got ta do ? you got ta -- you got ta light it on fire . [ laughs ] no , that 's right . you 're -- you 're trying . [ laughs ] hey , dad , how do you feel about beef tartare ? [ laughing ] [ light music ] do , do sarah : oh , carrie . i am so sorry . what happened ? carrie : hard to say , exactly . um , austin and i ... i do n't know , we just -- we stopped communicating . sarah : after all this time ? carrie : [ sighs ] i know . um , we tried counseling and neither one of us is sure that the marriage can be saved . so i just thought i 'd come back here , give it a break . maybe time will help . sarah : i hope so . i -- i may be completely overstepping here , but is it gon na be awkward with rafe coming today ? carrie : what do you mean ? rafe : happy fourth of july . eli : hey ! rafe : hey . lani : oh , hi , sweet boy . rafe : there he is . we 're heading to the pub . doug : so are we . shall we go ? julie : one minute . rafe , are you sure that 's such a good idea ? rafe : is what a good idea ? julie : you at the barbecue . you know what i mean ?

[ scene_break ] abe : look , roman , if this was the first time that she 'd done this to me , it might be different . but she does n't love me enough to be faithful to me and that 's the bottom line , roman . roman : listen to me , okay ? i know that lexie is sorry for what she did to you . she pleaded to me to ask you for another chance . she would do anything to make it up to do .. so why do n't you just talk to her ? let her explain . let her say she 's sorry . i think it 's the least you can do before you make a decision like this . for theo 's sake , if nothing else . abe : all right . all right , i 'll talk to her . [ scene_break ] lexie : the truth is ... well , i was unfaithful to my husband and sami found out . kate : lexie , i already know all of that . she was blackmailing you , and , obviously , she expected something in exchange . what i want to know is why you are protecting her . lexie : kate , i - i only have myself to blame . trust me ... if i could blame any of this on sami , i would . but i ca n't . excuse me .

[ suspenseful music ] [ knocking at door ] theresa : [ laughing ] yeah ! brady : hey , hi . theresa : hey , hi . brady : sorry i 'm late . hello , big guy . theresa : that 's okay . brady : the meeting went longer than i thought it would . theresa : yeah , all afternoon . is everything okay ? brady : yeah . it was more of a clash of personalities more than anything , but by the time it was over , we were on the same page . theresa : that 's good to hear . brady : hey , theresa , i want to go back and talk about that argument you had with victor . theresa : oh , gosh , did you remember to put a rush on that shipment that we were supposed to send to los angeles today ? brady : yeah . yeah , of course i did , but let 's not evade the question , okay ? i want to know what happened with victor . theresa : it was my fault , really . i stayed up all night to finish the rest of the designs for the dj wear launch , brady : mm - hm . theresa : and by the time i took tate for his walk this morning , brady , i was so exhausted , and i just collapsed on the bench , and ... well , i just closed my eyes for a few seconds , and the next thing i know , victor was waking me up , and he was all in my face because apparently i fell asleep while i was supposed to be watching tate . [ cooing to tate ] yeah , sleeping bunny ! [ whispering ] [ knocking at door ] dario : summer , it 's me . open up . summer : what are you doing here ? i said i 'd meet you at the club . dario : i thought i 'd pick you up . you 're on the way . what 's going on ? why wo n't you let me in ? summer : just give me ten minutes . i 'll meet you there . dario : tell me what 's wrong . summer : i 'll explain later . go , now . [ suspenseful music ] brady : theresa , how could you let yourself fall asleep like that ? i mean , do you understand that he could 've wandered off ? somebody could 've taken him . i mean , god forbid -- theresa : it was only for a second , brady . okay ? i swear . and you know what ? if he got hurt , or if someone tried to kidnap him , he would 've screamed his little head off , and i would 've surely woken up , and -- brady , i would give my life for tate . you know that . i mean , come on . victor 's making it sound like i was rip van winkle , the way he was tearing into me . brady : theresa , in his defense , i mean , he did stumble upon a pretty dangerous situation there . theresa : yeah , you 're right . i know . i know . and victor 's right too . but not about everything , okay ? he said i am an unfit mother , and i am not . look , nothing is more important to me than our son . brady : i know . i know that . and deep inside that crusty old man , he knows it too . but if you were that exhausted , you should 've known better than to take our son out . theresa : it 's just hard sometimes , brady . i 've been working a lot lately , and -- i do n't know . i have n't spent much time with him , and i just -- i miss him . brady : it 's okay . that 's gon na change once the company is rolling , and ... it 'll be fine . besides , he 's in capable hands . emma is terrific with him . theresa : yeah , i know that . in the meantime , though , would it be okay if maybe the three of us planned some family time ? just the three of us ? brady : mm - mm . of course . yes . i would love that . theresa : brady , nothing like this is ever gon na happen again . i promise you , okay ? please do n't be mad at me . brady : i 'm not . i 'm not . hell , i 'd be a hypocrite if i was . theresa : what do you mean ? brady : i have n't exactly exhibited the best judgment lately . theresa : what are you saying ? brady : summer . i was sure that she had changed , and , theresa , she has n't changed at all . she was a con artist and still is , and she 's been using me from day one . maggie : summer 's my daughter . she 's been so kind and generous and moved in , helped me with my physical therapy . and now it 's like she 's nothing more than a stranger to me . and please do n't tell me `` i told you so . `` victor : never , my love . maggie : i 've sent her several messages , but she has n't responded . victor : well , maybe it 's for the best . maggie : victor , as sad as all of this is , i intend to forgive her . victor : you ca n't be serious . maggie : of course , i am . you have children . over the years , they 've disappointed you , angered you , and yet you 've taken them back in the fold . victor : that 's different . my children were n't criminals . i know it 's difficult to accept , maggie , but we 'd be much better off without that parasite in our lives . dario : oh , hey , pull my arm out of the socket , why do n't you ? summer : keep your voice down . dario : what 's the matter with you ? why are you acting crazy ? are you off your meds or something ? summer : ha - ha - ha . you 're a real laugh riot . listen to me . someone left the satchel with $ 100,000 in my room . dario : awesome -- let 's take the next plane to barcelona . summer : dario , i 'm serious . dario : my god , you are . summer : and this , promising mucho more dinero if i agree to their request . dario : is this for real ? who the hell would send you something like this ? summer : i do n't know , but i have my suspicions . what i do know is this person obviously has money to spare , and the resources to have me followed all over town . look . dario : summer , if this person has been tailing you this whole time ... summer : i know . i know . they know that i killed clark . dario : and that i helped you bury the body . they could be watching us right now . summer : and if they know the truth , i have a feeling if i do n't do what they want , they just might turn me in for murder . theresa : they totally played you the whole time . brady : yep . summer claimed that clark forced her to con me , but i do n't believe a damn word that comes out of her mouth . theresa : you never should 've believed her in the first place , brady . i warned you about her . brady : can we not do that -- the `` i told you sos '' -- please ? theresa : i 'm sorry . brady : thank you . theresa : it 's just you 're such a good man , brady , and i hate watching you getting taken advantage of , and -- plus , you took her side over and over and over again , and look -- i 'd be lying if i said it did n't hurt a little . brady : i wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt , theresa . and it backfired on me in spades . theresa : does maggie know ? brady : she does now . where are you going ? theresa : i am gon na go find that conniving little bitch , and i 'm gon na run her the hell out of town . steve : listen , partner . for your mom 's sake , i think we should leave the `` mission impossible `` stuff to me for now . okay ? besides , you 've got enough to deal with , do n't you ? kayla : your dad 's right . you 'll be facing the judge about those vandalism charges and skipping bail . not to mention the robbery charges in california . joey : well , i 'm ready to take responsibility for my actions . i 'm gon na give jade a call , see what 's going on with her folks . i know she was kind of dreading it . steve : we 'll give joe a little privacy to do that , hm ? get some coffee ? kayla : be back . joey : i wo n't be long ... if she even answers . steve : tell her hello from us . kayla : ugh . steve : hey . you 're having another one of those headaches , are n't you ? kayla : well , it 's getting better . it 's just not completely gone . steve : well , i 'm here for you , sweetness . you know i 'll do anything i can to help you . kayla : i know that . thank you . well , i should probably go find fynn and tell him that i 'm back to work . steve : oh , okay . i guess i 'd better get going , then . unless you want me to come home with you . kayla : i 'm really not ready for that . i 'm sorry . aggie . but i think the best choice we can make right now is -- is to forget that summer even existed . maggie : i abandoned my daughter when she was born , victor . maybe if i had kept my baby girl , she would n't have had such a hard time of it . victor : i 'm not gon na let you blame yourself , maggie . you were young . you were poor . you were physically not able to take care of a child . maggie : we found each other , victor . and yes , when we were getting to know each other again , finally bonding , this happened . victor : maggie , do n't get yourself worked up about this . maggie : how can i not get worked up , victor ? my daughter 's out there somewhere , suffering , and i share part of the responsibility for that . victor : what do you want me to do , maggie ? just say the word , and it 's done . maggie : find her for me . please . dario : blackmail and bribery . that is a hell of a cocktail . whoever sent this means business . are you actually thinking about doing what they asked ? summer : well , obviously , the money is tempting , but no way . look , i 've seen and done things in my life i 'm not proud of , but this -- this is beyond reprehensible . dario : and you 'd be serving 20 years in prison , at least . summer : okay , dario , stop it . you 're scaring me . dario : good . i 'm glad . now send a message to that phone number and tell them `` thanks , but no thanks . `` summer : i think they 've made it quite clear that they are not gon na take `` no `` for an answer . now , i hate leaving the money behind , but i think the best plan right now is for me to just disappear . brady : theresa , stop , stop . hey , stop , please . do n't ruin our family outing because you want to go wage war with summer . it 's not worth it . please . theresa : you know what ? you 're right . i not going to let some sleazy little con artist ruin our family evening . brady : thank you . summer 's probably not gon na be sticking around much longer anyway , theresa . maggie 's disappointed and angry -- theresa : yeah , as she should be . ugh . brady : you know , except for dario , she has -- she 's lost everyone and everything . theresa : oh , for god sakes , brady , you 're not actually starting to feel sorry for her . brady : i am , in a way . listen -- i am , in a way . it 's sad . think about it . she 's never learned to love or trust anyone , so she lives her life by lying and manipulating to get what she wants . i mean , theresa , i have a history of getting duped by women like that . i mean , my god , back in the day it was nicole , and then it was kristen , and then it -- theresa : and then who , me ? brady , do you think you used bad judgment getting involved with me ? brady : theresa , theresa , look at me . you were a different person back then . so was i. i was a wreck back then , but yes , i 'd say that getting involved with you was initially part of that pattern . theresa : and now ? brady : you 've changed , and i have changed , and we have changed together . and i love you so much . there 's no regret here at all . theresa : it 's just hard sometimes , brady . you know , victor always trying to find fault in me , and -- brady : honey , let me worry about victor , okay ? theresa : [ scoffs ] yeah , well , good luck with that . i do n't think he 's gon na ever let me live down what happened with tate today . and you know what scares me the most ... is that what if , brady -- what if one day , victor finally succeeds in turning you against me ? brady : i promise that will never happen . steve : well , now i 'm a little confused . i mean , back in california , i thought we turned a corner . you even said you could n't live without me . remember ? kayla : i do remember that , but it does n't change the fact that your reckless nature scares the hell out of me . steve : i know . kayla : i think i just need some time to sort it out . steve : `` sort it out `` ... that seems to be your stock answer every time the subject comes up . you sure you 're not just making excuses because you do n't want to be with me ? kayla : that 's not it . i just feel that if i let you back in , i need to know , deep down in my soul , that it 's the right decision for me , for our family . look , i can never thank you enough for finding our son and bringing him home , but you heard him in there . he has clearly inherited your wanderlust and your need for danger . i mean , really ? vandalism , running away , robbery , and -- oh , and then ... ugh . steve : ava , right ? kayla : yeah . how can he ever forget that he murdered somebody ? how are we ever gon na forget that ? i just need time . steve : okay . but sweetness , i want to tell you something . you are my one and only . nothing is ever gon na change that . [ melancholy music ] victor : you know , i do n't think tracking summer down is going to give you the closure you think it will . besides , it may be too late . she could be miles from salem by now . maggie : all right , then . i 'll just use my cell phone and try to track her down ... one last time . dario : what did you say ? summer : that i would think about the request and get back to them . i just wanted to buy some time to get out of town . [ phone ringing ] dario : who is that ? summer : [ sighs , laughs ] [ phone continues ringing ] summer : it 's my mom . [ phone beeps , ringing stops ] dario : why 'd you do that ? summer : the thought of maggie ripping into me -- i ca n't stand it . you know what ? i hate myself for letting her down . dario : what the hell are you talking about ? i was the one who told you to squeeze whatever you could out of her , but you refused . summer : i doubt it . dario : let 's not take any chances . i 'll walk you back to your hotel . brady : calamari , oysters ? what do you want ? you want to start with an appetizer , or -- how hungry are you ? theresa : i 'm ravenous . brady : rav -- do n't . hey , hey , hey . do n't . do n't . summer : from the daggers i see in your eyes , i assume brady has already filled you in by now . brady : yeah . yeah , i did . and dario was in on it too . it 's funny . i remember more than one occasion of you two whispering very suspiciously with one another . summer : dario did n't know a thing . brady : and you two were never really dating ? summer : no . we 're just friends . brady : the lies -- they just keep coming . have you ever said anything truthful ? summer : yes . i was absolutely truthful with you once . and i think you know what i 'm talking about . theresa : what 's that supposed to mean ? summer : it 's not important . just do n't take what you have for granted . brady is a good guy , and he deserves the best . and so does your precious little boy . take good care of him . dario : hey , we should get going . brady : yeah . and summer , good - bye . summer : yeah . theresa : so , what is it that you 're not telling me ? maggie : she did n't pick up , so you 're probably right . she 's already left salem . [ knocking at door ] victor : oh , good evening , fynn . fynn : mr. kiriakis . victor : i hope you do n't mind , maggie . i asked dr. thompson to come over . i was worried about those two falls you had recently . maggie : dr. thompson ... fynn : please , call me fynn . maggie : fynn , my husband , as you can tell , is a bit of an alarmist . as you can see , i 'm doing quite well . fynn : i 'd like to be the judge of that , if you do n't mind . we 'll humor him . maggie : okay , well , if you find it necessary . but first , i 'd like to ask you a few questions about summer . i mean , you knew her when you and daniel lived in los angeles , right ? fynn : i did n't know her very well . maggie : okay , then your first impression ? did you -- i do n't know . what did you recall ? fynn : to be honest , she seemed to be a very troubled young woman . but daniel -- he saw something worth saving in her . victor : daniel was too much like his mother : too kind - hearted for his own good . theresa : brady ? brady : all right , listen . a few weeks ago , summer came to me , and she confessed that she was in love with me . theresa : oh , i knew it ! i knew it from day one . i knew that skank was after you . i had her pegged . ugh . why did n't you say anything ? brady , you can trust me . i would n't have said anything . brady : really ? theresa : no . i probably would 've . [ laughs ] i definitely would 've . brady : mm - hm . theresa : come on , though . hey , it 's a big deal . i feel like you should 've told me . i mean ... oh , my god . do you have feelings for summer ? joey : jade was n't picking up her phone . kayla : well , she 's probably talking to her parents as we speak . joey : you know , i really wish you 'd give jade a chance . do you still blame her for getting me into trouble ? kayla : i think that she is a very misguided girl who has set her sights on my son , and i do n't think that either one of you are really right for each other . joey : god , mom , just like that ? you do n't even know her or what her life 's been like . go get dad . he 'll back me up , or at least listen . kayla : i listen . joey : no , you do n't . you just think you do . where is he ? kayla : he 's spending the night in his office . joey : and not with you ? you still have n't taken him back after everything he 's done ? he risked his life for me again . what more does he have to prove ? kayla : you know , joey , it 's complicated . i love your father very much , but people change . i 've changed . joey : you know , if you ruled the world , it 'd be a pretty lonely place . you should think more with your heart and less with your head . dad deserves a second chance , and so does jade ! fynn : well , i 'm afraid i have no other option but to ... award you a clean bill of health . victor : well , that 's wonderful news . fynn : even so , i recommend you continue to take it easy . do n't push yourself too hard . maggie : thank you , fynn , for coming out at this hour of the night . victor : yes . we appreciate it . fynn : not a problem . any time . maggie : okay , good night . fynn : good night . victor : good night , fynn . maggie : so , are you happy now ? victor : sublimely . always happy to hear that my wife is in good health . speaking of taking it easy , have you thought any more about that cruise ? i know the first time we brought it up , you were a bit angry , but -- maggie : victor , are you sure you can afford it ? victor : i would n't be the self - made man that i am if i was n't wise enough to squirrel away a few bucks . maggie : okay . let 's look at it , then . i 'm starting to think that getting away for a while -- it might be the best thing for the both of us . [ sentimental music ] [ jade sniffling ] joey : jade , hey . jade : hey . [ sniffles ] i made it just before visiting hours were over . joey : i 'm glad . what 's wrong ? jade : things did n't go over well with my parents , and my dad kicked me out . and the sick thing is that ... i thought i did n't care about what they thought of me . but it hurts so bad , i know i do . joey : i 'm so sorry . they 'll come around . you 'll see . jade : no , i do n't think so . they hate me . and now i have no place to go . brady : no . i do not have feelings for summer . theresa : i just do n't want to be the last person to know some ho is after my man . brady : i have an idea . why do n't we -- why do n't we have a really nice dinner , huh ? theresa : oh , i lost my appetite a while ago . brady : okay , why do n't i order take - out , and we can have it later ? theresa : yeah , sure . kayla ? kayla : oh , theresa . oh , it seems like forever . theresa : yeah , it has been . grandma caroline told me that joey got shot . it sounded pretty scary . kayla : yeah , but he 's okay , thank god . he 's gon na make a full recovery . oh , look at this sleeping little prince . theresa : yeah , i just -- like for you . i mean , thinking your child might die . i would 've fallen apart . kayla : no , you would n't have . you 're stronger than that . i think motherhood suits you . theresa : wow . thanks . at least someone thinks so . kayla : why would anyone even question it ? theresa : it 's just victor . he 's been all over me lately . i mean , i made one tiny little mistake with tate today . he jumped all over me , and -- kayla : well , i would n't pay attention to him . it was n't that long ago that you were at the hospital , and i was keeping an eye on you . i 'm really proud of the way you 've turned your life around . theresa : thanks . thank you . that means a lot . i mean , i 've tried really hard . i do n't know . despite what victor says , i guess everyone deserves a second chance , right ? jade : you sure about that ? your mom is n't exactly my biggest fan . joey : she 's not gon na kick you out knowing that you do n't have a place to go . do n't worry . we 'll figure out a way to make this work . i love you . jade : i love you too .

[ laughs ] eric : thank you . it was nice that you and rex revived our family ... you know , getting together , despite what we 're all going through . rex -- that speech was really touching . sarah : yeah . he has a way with words . how are you doing , by the way ? not just with the family stuff , but nicole . i know you had to be thinking about her yesterday . eric : and holly . sarah : yeah , i was ... thinking about her too . just the most beautiful little girl . eric : i lit a candle for her . i hope she realized how much i loved her . sarah : oh , she did . you could see it every time you two were together . eric : [ softly ] i really miss her . sarah : have you thought about talking to nicole again ? eric : pffff . every day . sarah : and ? eric : nicole 's made it very clear that she does n't want to see me anymore . just respecting her wishes . sarah : so in other words , you 're just giving up ? that 's not like you , eric . eric : never in a million years did i think i 'd give up ... on someone that i loved , someone who was the love of my life . nicole 's not the same woman anymore . stefan : did you just say `` father `` ? kristen as nicole : i meant your father . stefan : i did n't hear the `` your `` part . kristen as nicole : well , that 's what you would have called him if you had met him . no one ever called stefano dimera `` daddy . `` okay , look , my point is i knew stefano well enough to know how he would have wanted this launch to go , and it 's exactly how i described . gabi : why do you care about stefano ? you hated him . kristen as nicole : you ca n't argue his business acumen . okay , listen ... [ scoffs ] i was around to see some of dimera 's most successful campaigns . i have more experience than gabi . that is why you should listen to me . gabi : you 've been out of the fashion loop for years . kristen as nicole : honey , fashion and style come and go . it 's experience that counts . stefan : you 're right . she 's right . but so do fresh ideas . kristen as nicole : [ laughs ] ted : what are you looking at ? kate : you . we might be dying in here , yet you 're still obsessed with all that . you are so vain . ted : oh , well , i did n't hear any complaints when we were together . kate : yeah , maybe that 's because you were busy admiring yourself . ted : oh , please , kate . you wish you could have another shot at this . kate : [ scoffs , laughs ] oh , my god . ted : but i mean , i 'm with hope -- i 'm sorry . and second -- kate : uh , yeah , we both agreed that you reek . ted : oh , au contraire . i feel very refreshed after my shower . but you , on the other hand -- tch . kate : you are a pig . ted : no , i 'm just speaking the truth . so why do n't you do us both a favor ... and take off your clothes . chloe : okay , so i 'm waiting to hear you say that you 're joking , right ? rex : i 'm not joking at all . i wan na get rid of this thing , and it would look beautiful on you . come on , humor me . just try it on , please ? chloe : okay , fine . oh ! ooh . rex : see ? what 'd i tell ya ? absolutely gorgeous . brady : what the heck 's going on here ? [ light music ] eric : you know , the pain of losing ... holly totally changed nicole . which is understandable , and i know ... i 've come to accept that it 's over with , me and nicole , you know , but then i think maybe that i just did n't do enough and ... sarah : what ? eric : i mean , there just might be some way to get through to her . but then i might be thinking about it too much , you know , and -- sarah : it 's too painful . eric : i just ... [ exhales ] i 've done everything i could . i got ta let go .

[ dramatic musical sting ] ted : xander , wait . look , i bought that necklace for hope . i want you to have it . give it to sarah . show her how dedicated you are to become a better man . xander : cheers . hope : you did n't buy that necklace . you got that from ted laurent .

he 's a hot guy . why should n't i go for it ? abby : well , he 's a lot more experienced , and not necessarily in a good way . he 's always talking about picking up his groupies after the race , and you know what ?
