[ scene_break ] maggie : victor . victor : i am in the best mood . you know , there is nothing that i like better than showing off . and this time , maggie , i have to tell you , i think i 've outdone myself . maggie : well , your modesty is overwhelming . on what exactly did you do this amazing job ? victor : on the mickey horton scholarship foundation . get your hat and coat . i 'll go over everything at dinner . that is , if you 're free . maggie : well , i 'm free . but i 'm not going anywhere with you . [ scene_break ] jennifer : there you are . carly : hi . jennifer : oh , i can see why you hang out here , a very cheery spot . carly : yeah . i think maybe i need a cloak and a hood like the french lieutenant 's woman .

[ scene_break ] richard : you and i are not partners . i do n't even know your name . i could give a rat 's ass about you . hope : i 'm sorry . i could 've sworn you helped me take down that dimera guy -- i 'm sorry , but did i imagine that ? [ door slams ] nicole : [ sighs ] richard : something tells me things did n't go very well . nicole : smug s.o.b . richard : uh - oh . nicole : i ca n't believe i married him . richard : okay , so you did n't get ej to tell you about his proof that you framed miss hernandez ? nicole : no , all he keeps saying to me in his pompous dimera way is i 'm not gon na know what hits me or when . richard : dude seems to be holding a grudge . nicole : i ca n't let him get away with this . and i know how to stop him for good . richard : i do n't think i wan na hear this . [ scene_break ] carly : well , yeah , jennifer , i think you should stay . i mean , i have problems that clearly trump your life , jack 's , and the kids . jennifer : carly , jack and my children are very independent and very self- sufficient . if you 're in trouble , i wan na be here for you . did you talk to daniel ? carly : uh , i almost did . jennifer : almost ? carly : it 's complicated . and just -- i could n't . at least not for now . jennifer : but you still think you should . carly : do you have any idea what i would pay not to know what i know ? jennifer : yeah , i do . sometimes you would rather not be involved . carly : that sounds personal . jennifer : it is personal . i wan na talk to you about bo and hope . [ scene_break ] hope : ciara , sweetie , mommy needs to talk to daddy for a little while , okay ? so why do n't you start that picture for grandma julie ? i 'll come get you when it 's time to go , all right ? ciara : fine . hope : okay . bo : how you holding up ? hope : as well as can be expec -- no , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i 'm okay . bo : you know , why do n't you take some leave ? a couple days off . hope : no , i - i ... work keeps me focused . i need that . bo : okay . hope : you know , speaking of work , i heard that arianna was released on bail . bo : got a problem with that ? hope : yeah , i do . i have a big problem with it . [ scene_break ] richard : oh , good lord , look at the time . you know , i promised myself i would n't miss a single -- nicole : we need to talk . no , i need to talk , you need to listen . ej has to be stopped . richard : you know what , i think we should take a wait and see approach , all right ? so why do n't you wait , and i 'll see you later . nicole : dick , dick . do n't you get it ? ej already does n't like you . and you know what i think ? i think whatever he did to me , he will also do to you . i can almost guarantee it . richard : [ sighs ] so you 're talking about stopping him . any ideas on how we do that ? nicole : yes . you and your partner in crime take him out . [ scene_break ] hope : arianna is the serial mugger , bo . the only thing stopping her the last couple of days were those prison bars . bo : okay , even if she is guilty -- hope : if ? bo : i do n't believe that she is . but if she is ... she would n't be stupid enough to attack again . hope : oh , come on . she is n't doing this for pin money . i mean , it 's obviously a compulsion , and compulsions escalate . bo : you think she 's that much of a sicko ? hope : do n't you ? bo : no , i do n't . she 's just this normal woman . hope : you really do n't think that she can cover the mess she is on the inside ? bo : what ? hope : all right , all right , you know what ? i 'll agree . i mean , she can . she can go through the day normal , she can keep it together , she can talk to men , even smile -- maybe even let them touch her . but that 's only because she knows what she gets to do to them that night . [ scene_break ] victor : i 'm sorry . maggie : no , you 're not . victor : it 's just that i find that facts and figures are a little more palatable with food . maggie : and you 've found that if you bulldoze people , you get what you want . you wan na take me out to dinner . so you throw a few old spreadsheets in a folder and expect me to buy it . victor : that 's not fair , maggie . maggie : oh , victor . i see through you . you may not want it to be true , but it is . victor : oh , i do want to take you to dinner . i mean , you 're smart , you 're funny , you make more sense than any woman i 've ever known . but this is not old spreadsheets in here . i would never try and con you , maggie . especially not using mickey 's name . maggie : i know you would n't . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that , that was not fair . victor : so you wan na go to dinner ? maggie : [ gasps ] [ laughing ] maggie : you know , i say it again and again , you are incorrigible ! victor : well , and hungry . [ knock on door ] maggie : [ giggles ] victor : listen , well , what 's a little dinner between friends ? vivian : i do n't know , victor , what is it ? [ scene_break ] carly : you need to know that bo struggled to make his marriage work . he really did try . jennifer : i believe that . i do . and i believe that hope tried . but sometimes life just gets the best of us . and maybe when i said i wanted to talk about bo and hope , maybe that was n't very accurate . carly : no ? jennifer : no . i wan na talk about you . [ scene_break ] bo : you 've obviously given this a lot of thought . hope : look at her life . she went to jail because of a man . a man that she thought loved her . you know what , from that moment on , her life was run by powerful authoritarian men . bo : what ? hope : it does n't matter if it 's true or not . it 's how it felt to her . i mean , just look at the facts . she has never attacked a weak , defenseless man . they 're always powerful men with authority . bo : yeah , like ej , who 's now doing everything he can to defend her . so he obviously does n't think she 's guilty . hope : okay . did it ever occur to you that maybe he does n't want it to be true that he was taken out by a woman a tenth of his size ? i mean , then again , what do they always say about men ? never underestimate the level of denial generated by the male 's ego , right ? bo : does n't sound to me like she 's the only one angry at men . hope : i am just trying to understand the perp . it 's my job . bo : yeah , and maybe you 're a little too close . hope : you know what , maybe you 're right . i hope i 'm wrong about her . i really do . because ... bo : what ? hope : oh , my god . i 'm worried that you could be next on her list . [ scene_break ] tad : i think there 's a reason why you do n't see bruce willis eating an ice cream cone . it 's almost impossible to be ruggedly masculine while eating an ice cream cone . ca n't do it . chad : whereas you 're ruggedly masculine at all other times ? tad : well , yeah . chad : so , yeah , will 's been gone a really long time . what 's taking him so long ? [ phone rings ] tad : i got ta get this . chad : hot date ? tad : [ mouths ] my mother . chad : ah , why do n't you just block her calls ? tad : 'cause i wan na reach adulthood . gabi : okay , why do boys always have to talk so mean about their mothers ? chad : i think it 's in our dna , hmm ? gabi : well , all i can say is i 'm glad you 're not fighting with your folks anymore . did n't really like that . chad : no , we 're not fighting anymore . but i do n't think we 're ever actually gon na work things out completely . gabi : why 's that ? chad : why , because i 'm never gon na measure up to them and their standards . gabi : that 's not true . chad : of course , it is . gabi : [ sighs ] chad : i wish they could just face it , you know ? but i do n't -- do n't think my mom can . gabi : okay , do not talk like that . come on , you got into wake forest . chad : ooh , uh ... correction . i think it 's more accurate to say that my mom got me into wake forest . if i have any future at all , it 's because of her . [ scene_break ] kate : so i will help you as much as i can , as long as it does n't cost me anything . madeline : why am i not surprised ? kate : because it 's exactly what you would do , right ? anyway , i suggest if you do n't want stefano to find out anything more about your sordid past than he already does , it 's probably time for you to leave . he has kind of a sixth sense when it comes to people who are hiding something . madeline : god , my fate is in your hands . can it get any worse than that ? kate : i think it already has . [ scene_break ] jennifer : hope is always going to be an issue in your relationship with bo . carly : i know that . jennifer : do you ? because when i look at the future , i see a very distinct possibility that you are going to get hurt . carly : so you think that bo is going to leave me for her ? jennifer : carly , i do n't know . you just have to know that bo and hope , they are connected for life . and not just because of ciara . carly : jennifer ... jennifer : i just -- look , i do n't think you 're seeing things very clearly . carly : you 're not telling me anything that i do n't already know . hope will always be a big part of bo 's life . i 'll just have to learn to live with that , wo n't i ? [ scene_break ] bo : you really think arianna 's gon na come after me ? hope : no , i 'm sorry , i did n't mean it like that . i meant that she 'll go after someone like you . bo : male authority figure ... unfeeling ... hope : it 's a pattern . bo : yeah . hope : the next victim may not make it . the violence is escalating . look at roman and brady , they were n't just attacked , they were branded . and ej nearly did n't make it . bo : but he did , and now he 's defending her . hope : and i think he 's making a very big mistake . mark my words . he 's gon na regret getting involved in that case . i just know it . [ scene_break ] nicole : look , everything 's in place -- arianna gets released ... [ sighs ] ej gets attacked again . and then he ca n't talk when she 's being convicted , all right . it 's perfect . richard : forget it . it 's not gon na happen . [ scene_break ] gabi : you think your future is up to your mom ? chad : if she has it her way , at least . tad : so what made you change your mind about wake forest ? 'cause i mean , you were so determined on going to salem u . chad : yeah , i was . until i got talked out of it . finally realized that i should maybe just leave town for a while . tad : so now you got access to a first - class education . sorority girls . chad : [ scoffs ] gabi : yeah . a whole new part of the country , a whole new set of people . chad : you guys make it sound more fun than it actually is , all right . oh , you know what ? i got a great idea . gabi : what ? chad : you guys should totally come visit me . i promise , you guys will have the time of your life . tad : yeah , i 'm -- you up for a road trip ? gabi : i - i do n't know . tad : oh , come on . it 'd be fun . [ phone rings ] tad : yeah ? i 'm sorry . i 'm leaving right now , i 'll be there in ten minutes . chad : is that your mom again ? tad : no , kinsey . supposed to meet her at the pub . she 's confirming i 'll be there on time . chad : but she 's always late . tad : yeah , she thinks her time is more valuable than mine . gabi : [ giggles ] chad : so , yeah , what do you say , gabi ? october ? i hear it 's beautiful that time of year . gabi : chad , you 're gon na be so busy . i mean , with all your new friends and everything . are you sure you want us to come ? chad : oh , absolutely . gabi , come on , you come to wake forest , and i promise you 'll have the time of your life . hmm ? [ scene_break ] madeline : if you 'll excuse me , please . stefano : well , no . because i want to know what you are doing here . madeline : i just came by to touch base with kate to make sure that we had closure . that the past would remain in the past . stefano : mm . [ sighs ] madeline , as a judge , you are supposed to have an insight into your -- well , defendant 's body language , right ? but all i 'm getting from you is a kind of lying through your teeth kind of thing . madeline : do we really need to do this ? stefano : you can ask katherine how finicky i am about knowing everything that goes on in this house . and since i can not trust you to tell me the truth ... i 'll just ask my wife . [ scene_break ] victor : damn it , vivian , get the hell out of here . you 're embarrassing yourself . vivian : [ gasps ] maggie : victor ! you do n't give orders in my house . victor : you 're right , i 'm sorry , maggie . we 'll go . maggie : no . you go . but i would like vivian to stay . [ scene_break ] nicole : dick ... do you know what will happen to you when ej realizes that you 're the one that set up arianna ? richard : i 'm not sticking around to find out . one more game and i 'm outta here . nicole : on what ? richard : my winnings . nicole : you never win . richard : then the law of averages is on my side . nicole : all right , look . well ... if you tell me who your partner is , then maybe i can change her mind . richard : no . not gon na happen . forget it . nicole : how much do you need to blow town ? in other words ... [ sighs ] just how much do you need for her name ? [ scene_break ] hope : i did n't mean to spend so much time talking about the case . bo : no ? hope : no . when i came in , you were looking at the divorce papers . bo : no , i was looking for ciara 's crayons , i just happened to pick those up . hope : we need to talk about it . bo : we said we 'd wait . hope : we said we 'd wait until after gran 's funeral . it 's after gran 's funeral . bo : there is no rush . i mean , you 're still grieving . hope : look , you were an enormous help to me through all of that . you 've moved on . i need to find a way to move on myself . and i think this means we move on with the divorce . carly : hey , i 'm home . i 'm sorry , i did n't know you were here . hope : hi . carly : i 'll let the two of you be alone . hope : no , no , no . no need , bo and i are done . i 'll just go up and get ciara . then i 'll be out of your way . carly : i really am sorry . bo : no . do n't be . it 's not your fault , believe me . [ sighs ] it 's mine . [ scene_break ] will : hey , you guys . what 's up ? chad : all right , two things . what 's up with you ? and where 's our food ? will : uh , yeah . gee , i forgot it , okay ? gabi : i was -- i was just leaving . got ta get to work . chad : so yeah , just remember what i said . think about it ? gabi : yeah . hey , will . see you around . chad : okay , so i was telling gabi -- will : you son of a bitch . chad : i 'm sorry ? will : mia is not gone five minutes , and you 're already putting the moves on gabi ? [ scene_break ] kate : madeline ... madeline does n't trust you . can you believe that ? she thinks you 're actually going to use what you know about her to disrupt her life . stefano : is this supposed to be funny ? kate : i think that i just want it to be over . so is it very , very hard for you to believe that she would come to me for assurance that this is n't all going to blow up in her face ? stefano : ah , well , listen , i can understand why she could be afraid of me . because after all , people who have been blackmailed , sometimes , you know , they nurture grudges . madeline : i did n't blackmail you . i held on to a little insurance . kate : and now that insurance -- that tape is destroyed . and she 's no longer a threat to us . [ phone rings ] kate : so let 's be gracious about winning . stefano : mm , i have to take this . i can not tell you how charming it is to see two working girls stick together like this . [ chuckles ] what a friend you have in katherine . madeline : did he buy that ? kate : i 'm never really sure . but i do know that you should probably go now and think twice before you stop by again . madeline : yes , i will . last thing we want is stefano thinking we 're keeping something from him . kate : which is complicated by the fact that that 's exactly what we 're doing . [ scene_break ] vivian : well ... your favorite kind of event -- an opportunity to become morally superior . maggie : hmm . you know , i 've thought a lot about you . but i never thought you were stone stupid . vivian : i am not . maggie : do you really think that you are gon na hold on to victor acting like a stereotypical fishwife ? vivian : [ chuckles ] do you think this is by choice ? i 'm vivian alamain . do you think i like dragging my husband out of a suburban kitchen ? having a rival -- a romantic rival that makes betty crocker look like lady gaga ? maggie : i am not your romantic rival . vivian : really ? then what exactly are you ? maggie : maybe he likes to talk to someone who does n't try to kill people . maybe he wants to get away from some , i do n't know , neurotic shrew who ... [ sighs ] okay , that was out of line . i 'm sorry . vivian : damn you . damn you for being right . [ scene_break ] bo : good night , little one . call you in the morning . carly : i really am sorry . bo : no , no . you live here , hope knows that . carly : i 'm just -- i 'm sorry you feel so bad . bo : i was looking for some crayons for ciara , and just happened to be holding those divorce papers when hope walked in . carly : oh . bo : and she wants to go ahead with the divorce . carly : she does ? bo : yeah . carly : do you ? bo : uh ... it 's kind of strange timing . i mean , she just lost her grandmother . carly : could it be more than just timing ? i mean , are you having second thoughts ? bo : no . carly : listen to me . and this is not me being noble , because i 'm not . but no one should have to go through something as horrible as a divorce unless they 're absolutely sure . so maybe i 'm the one who needs to step back . [ scene_break ] jennifer : hey , yes , jack . i 'm sorry i 'm so late , there 's so many people to say good - bye to . yeah , mike , he 's already at the airport . okay . all right , i 'll see you at the airport . love you . bye , jack . vivian : oh ! jennifer : oh . vivian : oh , jennifer . jennifer , wait . jennifer : wow , two more minutes , i would 've been home free . vivian : i just want to give you condolences about poor , poor alice . jennifer : thank you . good - bye . vivian : well , no , no , no . i do know what you 're going through . after all , we 've both lost someone we love . jennifer : i would be really careful if i were you . vivian : but i mean ... my poor lawrence -- jennifer : vivian ! are you out of your mind ! [ scene_break ] stefano : [ sighs ] the judge was n't able to stay for cocktails ? kate : well ... you did n't make her feel particularly welcome . stefano : you know how i feel about judges . at least when she was a hooker , she offered a service . kate : well , i think we should be relieved , do n't you ? i mean , the tape is destroyed and we can get on with our lives . stefano : mm . what if it 's not possible ? [ scene_break ] ciara : uncle justin ! justin : why , miss nana - banana ! so nice to see you again . ciara : that 's not my name . justin : rita - margarita ? [ gasps ] molly mcgolly ! ciara : no , it 's ciara . justin : ciara ! i was gon na say that next . listen , i have a message for you from the kitchen . there are fresh cookies in there . ciara : mommy , can i ? hope : yeah , absolutely , sweetheart . but with a big glass of milk . ciara : promise . justin : [ chuckles ] oh , i wish i could package that energy . hope : yeah , i know . justin : uh , hope , you look exhausted . hope : i am . justin : listen , i just dropped off some papers for victor . my day is over . why do n't you let me spend some time with her ? i can put her to bed , read her a book , and you could finally get some rest . hope : i do n't know what i would do without you . thank you , that 's very kind . justin : no problem . hope : good night . justin : good night . [ scene_break ] bo : i would let it ride , but hope said she wanted to move on . carly : well , maybe she 's in shock . you know , grief is a powerful thing . bo : yeah , well , the thing is i agree with her . i mean , we 've been in limbo for far too long . i 'm sick of it . carly : i still do n't know if moving ahead is really the right thing to do right now . bo : i realize that she 's still grieving , but this is something we agreed on before mrs. h died . carly : look , i 'm gon na come out and say it . what if it 's more than grief ? have n't you noticed how strangely hope has been acting for a while now ? bo : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] chad : jump to conclusions much ? i 'm not putting the moves on gabi . will : oh , you 're inviting her to wake forest for a study date ? chad : i 'm sorry , are you working on your dweeb merit badge ? what 's it to you who i ask to visit me ? will : and ... and mia ? that was -- that was nothing ? chad : right , right . well , she left , so am i just supposed to sit in my room and listen to kurt cobain 24 - 7 ? will : you 're a jerk , you know that ? chad : whatever . look , you might live in that big house with all those wack jobs , and your mom may be one taco shy of a combination platter , but that does n't give you the -- will : do n't ever say anything about my mother , ever . [ scene_break ] jennifer : you see , vivian , i have just been to the funeral of a person who , as opposed to you , actually mattered . so do n't ask me to stand here and mourn the death of a man that raped me . vivian : well ... [ scoffs ] he paid for it . jennifer : not enough ! because after he ruined my life , he went on to ruin carly 's life . vivian : [ sighs ] i can not even believe you 're taking her side . jennifer : [ sighs ] i ca n't even believe that i am standing here speaking to you right now . i am going back to london . and you know exactly where you can go . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , you remember when you got back from l.a. , and i told you that hope and i ran into each other ? bo : yeah , and she said something about how she felt no ill will toward you anymore . carly : right . and she was very forgiving , and i 've thought a lot about that conversation . and it was more than her just telling me she did n't blame me for you guys breaking up . it was her demeanor towards me . she was warm and understanding . you know , like she wanted to be my friend . bo : this is hope we 're talking about ? carly : yeah . so you come back , and it 's like the conversation never happened , like old times , like tonight . look , if i 'm being way off - base here , then tell me . i 'd like for you to tell me that i 'm way off - base . bo : i do n't think that you are . [ scene_break ] richard : nic ... you can threaten me or bribe me as much as you want . i 'm not gon na do it . nicole : dick ... richard : hmm ? nicole : did you get a backbone ? richard : i guess i did . kind of weird , huh ? nicole : yeah , i hate it . richard : look , nic , this woman that i 'm working with ... she matters to me . nicole : yeah , i see that . richard : which is why you have to be kept apart from her . you 're not exactly the good luck kid , you know ? nicole : well , uh ... seeing that you 're not spineless anymore ... i guess you 're not much good to me . see you around ? [ giggles ] [ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] i need a good night 's sleep . [ scene_break ] stefano : i thought this was verboten . kate : it is , but i 'm making an exception tonight , because you need to relax . stefano : mm . kate : keep worrying about that hyphenated woman . you 're letting her get under your skin , even though she 's defanged . and i 've told you over and over again she ca n't do anything to hurt us anymore . stefano : you know me very well , do n't you ? kate : hmm . i know that you tend to obsess . stefano : ah . listen , i was wondering if it 's possible you know where william is . i need to talk to him . kate : what ? stefano : about his internship . kate : what are you talking about ? stefano : well , he told me that he wanted to get a job for the summer , so i suggested he works for me , dimera enterprises . kate : [ chuckles ] well , that will look wonderful on his resume , wo n't it ? stefano : no , i -- he can work on some simple projects , you know , and learn about the business . kate : [ chuckles ] oh , sami will be just thrilled . stefano : [ chuckles ] no , william and i both agreed we were not going to tell her . kate : you 're becoming very fond of will , are n't you ? stefano : well , he 's your grandson . you are my wife . it 's family , no ? kate : i 'm touched that you think that way . stefano : of course , i do . as a matter of fact , i 'm -- well , i 've begun to feel as if he 's my own grandson . we 've got to make sure that we do n't tell samantha that either , huh ? kate : [ giggles ] stefano : 'cause she 's -- she 's stressed enough as it is . salud . kate : salud . stefano : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] chad : get your hands off me . will : do n't ever say anything about my mother again . never again , do you understand ? chad : ooh , looks like i hit a nerve . maybe she 's the reason you 're so protective of the ladies . will : i said shut up . chad : she 's got how many kids with how many fathers , and she was how old when you were born ? i guess maybe i 'd be an uptight prude like you too if i had a mother like that . will : at least my mother was n't a whore like yours was ! [ scene_break ] carly : can you tell me what you 're thinking ? bo : [ sighs ] well , before you came home , hope and i were talking . carly : bo ? bo : you know , i 'm not real comfortable talking about her with you anymore . it 's just ... 'cause you and i have ... well , it 's just not right . carly : i 'm sorry , i 'll drop the subject . i should n't have brought it up . bo : no , no , it 's -- i 'm not mad at you or anything , it 's ... you should n't have to deal with that . and i do n't know , let 's just not talk about it . carly : fine . hope will always be a big part of bo 's life . i 'll just have to learn to live with that , wo n't i ? bo : what ? carly : nothing . nothing at all . bo : okay . [ scene_break ] justin : oh , i like this one . i think this would look really nice in my room . ciara : i do too . that 's a dollar . justin : well , for a dollar , i think i need it signed by the artist there . i 'll get my wallet . ciara : you ca n't . you lost it . justin : now how do you know that ? ciara : 'cause mommy had it .

kate : i definitely have . so ... did you find chloe another job ? quinn : yes , i did , and she 's gon na put her heart and soul into this one . kate : how can you be so sure of that ? quinn : everyone says what a talented performer she is . kate : hmm . obviously you have n't seen her onstage . quinn : i do n't give a damn about the stage . her days of singing puccini to blue - haired millionaires are over . kate : so ... what if she does n't perform in the bedroom ? quinn : then she 'll have to face the music , and the tune wo n't be very sweet . chloe : what do we have to talk about , justin ? sonny : i 'm just gon na grab us a couple sodas . justin : oh , that 's a good idea . chloe : uh , you 're making me nervous . justin : no , do n't be . i just wanted to tell you that the , um , social worker is ready to move on to the next step of the , uh , evaluation . chloe : okay , well , that sounds positive . justin : it is . it is ... somewhat . chloe : somewhat ?

justin : meaning ... you need to have a steady income , also a place to call home ... a place of your own . taylor : okay , it 's not like you . ej : hmm ? what ? taylor : to be so quiet . ej : well , to be honest , when you called , i just thought that you might be in some kind of trouble . taylor : oh , i did n't mean to worry you . i just -- i just wanted to surprise you ... in a good way . did it work ?

oh . ooh . oh . well , i 'm cozy now . and i 'm not going anywhere until i find out what that son of a bitch is up to . justin : chloe , i know you understand . a child needs a real home . a hotel ... chloe : does n't cut it ? you think i do n't know that ? of course i want a home for my son , at least an apartment . and i 'm gon na get one . i 'm gon na find a way to make it happen . sonny : what about the guesthouse at victor 's ? chloe : hmm , thanks , but i think that victor would rather burn the mansion down than let me live there . and honestly , i think i 'd rather die than live anywhere near that man . sonny : okay . justin : well , how about your parents ? can they , uh , help you out for a little while ? chloe : well , i do n't really know how taking money from my parents is proving that i can provide for my own son . justin , look , i really appreciate all your help and everything that you 're doing for me , but i have to do this on my own , and i will . so ... thank you . excuse me , guys . justin : good luck . chloe : thanks . justin : i got it . i got it . chloe : thank you . quinn : just the woman i was looking for . chloe : how did you know i was here ?

quinn : do n't screw with me , chloe . he 's your lawyer , justin kiriakis . it 's just lie after lie with you . but this is where it ends , do you understand ? because if there 's just -- just one more even tiny , little , innocent fib ... we 're done . game over . taylor : a day ago , i was afraid i might lose you . and now ... i do -- i really believe we can have a future together . ej : we will ... my love ... a wonderful , wonderful ... happy future . now just give me a kiss . taylor : [ giggles ] anytime . ej : [ sighs ] stefano : and with great sadness , the young prince left his friends and the kingdom he once called home . johnny : but why , grandpa ? stefano : well , because prince vandelay made a foolish mistake , see ... [ groans ] like your father . johnny : what ? stefano : [ laughs ] no , no , no . okay , it 's not a big deal . no , i 'm kidding , really . your father made a mistake one time , and i had to teach him a lesson , you know . that 's all . [ laughs ] [ sighs ] sami : there 's no way i am sending rafe in there , guns blazing . what if my son gets caught in the crossfire ? bo : that mansion is huge . he 'll be off in his bedroom someplace . sami : what if he 's not ? what if he hears a commotion , and he goes to check it out ? hope : no , sami , sami ... we all know that ej and stefano would give their own lives before they ever let anything happen to johnny . sami : hope , we ca n't count on them for anything . bo : dimera has his operatives looking for rafe as we speak . hope : exactly , plus , rafe is officially wanted for murder one . some overzealous beat cop collars him , that 's it . it all falls apart . bo : we ca n't wait a day . we ca n't wait an hour . hell , we ca n't even wait ten minutes , or it might be too late .

[ laughs ] now i know why you get along so well with my son . taylor : [ chuckles ] ej : what do you mean by that ? stefano : well , you 're both wonderful . you 're entertaining . you 're , uh , wry , sardonic . ej : you know , father , you 're wonderfully entertaining . you 're actually not so entertainingly transparent . stefano : i beg your pardon ? ej : you 've told me many times that you detest sarcasm . so , in the interest of being straightforward , please , instead of insulting the woman who i happen to love , why do n't you just tell her the same thing ? stefano : a real charmer , is n't he ? ej : you see what i have to put up with ? come on , let 's go . stefano : put -- put up with what ? ej : what i put up with , okay ? no woman that i ever bring into this house is worthy of being a member of this family . taylor is the best and most honorable person to have ever set foot inside this house , and you will treat her with nothing other than love and respect ! you hear me ? stefano : hmm . you know , you 're getting all funny in the face . ej : i 'll funny you in the face . come on . stefano : no , wait , wait , please . wait , please . taylor , would you please tell my son that you are not offended and that you will make allowances for me being a little cranky , all right ? and that you also understand that i was just trying to make a little small talk before . that 's all . taylor : i do . we 're okay . stefano : wonderful . elvis , you 're right . you have picked a winner . taylor ... welcome to the family .

[ grunting ] daniel : aah ! [ fighting ] aiden : um ... daniel asked me to meet with him and nicole ... hope : okay . aiden : to discuss the case against xander cook . i need to go do some research . but we 'll talk later ? hope : you can count on it . aiden : okay . rafe : good ol ' clyde again , huh ? what happened ? hope : i blew it . i told aiden i 'd ended my investigation of clyde -- rafe : which you have , right ? hope : yes , i have . rafe : okay . hope : but then he asked a question and i thought he was talking about weston , and then i happened to mention that he had a meeting with stefano two seconds after he arrived back in salem . rafe : well , what happened at that meeting ? did you find out anything ? hope : no , just that it happened . rafe : what did victor say when you told him about it ? hope : i had to tell justin , but i 'm sure he 'll pass it along . rafe : i know victor thinks that clyde and stefano are ganging up against him . it 's only a matter of time before victor ... hope : before victor puts a hit out on clyde . clyde : now i know i 've told you this before , kyle , but you need to let it sink in nice and deep . my name never comes out of your mouth . is that clear ? kyle : got it . clyde : not to your dealer or anyone else . you do n't know me , i do n't know you , and i do n't want to know your crew , either . kyle : understood . clyde : now your job is to expand the business . and i expect you to do that . whatever anyone wants , soft or hard , we got it . do n't let me down , son . i do n't cotton to people who let me down . kyle : i understand , sir . this new guy 's coming to my party . i 'll see what i can do to get him back into the game tonight . clyde : now , that 's the wrong kind of attitude , son . do n't see if you can . just do it . [ sighs ] bev : whoa . okay , jj , slow down . you 'll be trashed before we even get to the party . jj : yeah . yeah , you 're right . it 's just ... it takes the edge off . bev : got it . yeah , i mean , your life has been pretty whack lately . you still miss paige . jj : i do n't want to think about her . or talk about her . just not tonight . i just want to have some fun . just you and me . bev : you want the rest of my beer ? you know , too many bubbles , and ... jj : yeah , why not ? we got to get rid of the bottles before we go , anyway . bev : you know , we could always ditch the party and just hang out upstairs . jj : and what about when my mom walks in in ten minutes ? bev : whoops . jj : you know what ? do you -- it 's kind of stuffy in here . do you want to go to the lake ? or is it too early ? bev : no , no , not if we walk slow . i like walking slow . with you . throw it out . paige : [ sighs ] great time for the ac to die . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] i love you , too . [ ice crashes ] paige : bastard 's not worth thinking about . god , i have to get out of this heat . where 's my swimsuit ? eric : nicole , hey , call me . i know you 're with daniel and everything 's probably okay but i just wanted you to know xander beat the charges . he 's out there . none of this would have happened if serena , but somehow -- serena : whoa , hey , hey . i did n't do a thing to help that son of a bitch . eric : nicole , i need you to call me , okay ? serena : not one thing , so stop saying that . eric : call me . you expect me to believe that , do n't you ? serena : i did n't help him . not intentionally . eric : meaning ? serena : i told the cops everything that happened that night , that i was with daniel and we were looking for you and for nicole , because we were worried that xander was going after you , and that we were getting these weird text messages -- eric : why do n't you just get to the part where you were helping xander ? serena : i had to admit that xander came by my room that night and told me that he was leaving town and he was going to chicago . eric : oh , yeah , but he did n't , did he ? because he stayed back here to kill me and nicole . serena : but i ca n't prove that . and xander has people who will say he was in chicago . he has proof . eric : what ? serena : he used his credit cards , his cell phone . eric : what , so he can walk free ? serena : i 'm sorry , eric . i did everything i could to help the police make a case . it just did n't work . eric : what , really ? everything you could ? because if you did , you would have told him about the smuggling that you and xander did to get diamonds into the country . did you , did you tell him that ? because if you did , xander would be behind bars right now . oh . so would you . nicole : you deserve it ! you deserve everything you 're getting , you bastard ! anne : stop it ! stop it , dr . jonas ! get off ! get off ! anne : aah ! nicole : do n't touch him ! leave him alone ! let go of him ! let go ! anne : you are going to back off right now , ms . walker . daniel : yeah , you think you can touch her ? do you , huh ? you think you can walk around and do whatever you want ? yeah , you son of a bitch ! anne : really , this is appalling . jonas , you 're a doctor . you are a surgeon and your hands are not meant to be lethal weapons . nicole : oh , shut up , you stupid cow . you have no idea what this bastard did to me . anne : i 'm sorry , can we contain the locker room language , please ? now listen . whatever this very handsome and well - dressed man did could n't possibly warrant him being beaten to a pulp , okay ? i am calling the police . nicole : good . why do n't you just do it ? he 's an escaped criminal . anne : what ? nicole : he 's wanted for attempted murder . real cheese people rafe : i did n't say a victor would put a hit out on anyone . hope : never crossed your mind ? rafe : of course not . hope : victor 's capable of a lot of things , and being ruthless is one of them , and you know that . rafe : yeah , well , clyde 's so damn arrogant , maybe ruthless is the only language that he unders -- hope : what ? what are you thinking ? rafe : maybe victor already tried . maybe that 's what happened . he tried to pull a hit off . hope : when ? rafe : well , clyde took over victor 's trucking business . we both know that victor did n't give that up willingly . hope : so you 're thinking -- rafe : maybe he made a move ? hope : and it failed . rafe : sonny got stabbed . hope : and victor shut down without a peep . rafe : okay , we 're both speculating here , but that would explain -- hope : would explain why victor backed off . but he 's never going to admit a damn thing . come on , rafe , you know what we got to do here . rafe : well ... nothing . hope : what ? what are you -- rafe : no , nothing . we 're so damn used to working together . we do n't anymore . this needs to stop . eric : i told the police that you and xander were smuggling diamonds . daniel said the same thing . so why did n't you back us up ? serena : eric , if i admitted something like that -- eric : it means you have a conscience . i 'm sorry , i forgot . serena : you do n't understand . xander fixed it so there 's absolutely no evidence . no diamonds , no e - mails , no paper trail . no good would come from telling the police anything . eric : yeah , well , sometimes integrity means you also have to have courage . serena : fine , then i 'm a coward and belittle me all you want . but xander made one thing very clear . if i betray him again , if i accuse him of anything , it 's not me he 's going after . it 's you . eric : oh , wait , i 'm sorry , you 're doing this all for me ? the fact that you wo n't be charged for smuggling diamonds is just an added bonus ? serena : i do n't care if i get charged . i 'll confess , eric . i will do anything that you want . because i love you . eric : no ! no , do n't say that . just go live your life somewhere else and leave me out of it . roman : okay , see what homeland security finds out , then text me . all right , thanks . all right , here 's the deal . our tech people say the phone records ca n't be fake , so obviously somebody was in chicago using xander 's phone to give him an alibi . marlena : then you need to arrest that somebody . roman : doc , when we find that needle in that haystack , you 'll be the first to know . marlena : roman ... roman : hey , i 'm as upset as you are , okay ? but you ca n't make a da charge somebody when all the evidence points the other way right now . marlena : eric and nicole know exactly what happened . this is insane . [ cell phone rings ] roman : all right , i got to deal with this . do me a favor . give the department some time . right now , let 's be very grateful our son is alive . anne : this man is wanted for attempted murder ? nicole : he 's an escaped criminal , yes . call the police . xander : excuse me . if i can just say something , nicole 's made a mistake . i 've already talked to the police . i came forward the minute i knew they were looking for me . they realized they 'd made an error and let me go . daniel : you pathetic bastard . nicole : there 's no mistake . you tried to kill me . and eric . you tried to strangle me . you trapped us in -- what are you doing ? why are n't you calling the cops ? anne : well , if he just got back from talking to them , what would be the point ? nicole : he 's a pathological liar . call the cops . xander : again , if i could say something . of course whoever did actually try to hurt eric and nicole should be caught and convicted . but it could n't have been me because i was in chicago . nicole : liar ! xander : which i proved to the police , so they did n't charge me . nicole : you trapped us in that crawl space and you turned the heat up full blast . daniel : they both could have died . both of them . xander : and no one is sorrier to hear that than me . nicole : you are going to get what you deserve . anne : hey ! hey , lady , calm down . anne : this is a hospital ! daniel : let it go , let it go . let it go , baby , let it go . let it go . because believe me , he is not going to get away with what he did . and we 're gon na leave . anne : what an excellent idea . nicole : why ? daniel : okay , okay , look , i 'll explain on the way . i will explain everything . but you 've got to trust me . nicole : he should be in jail . eric : and you touch her again , i will kill you . bev : oh , hey , thanks , man , for the invite . kyle : hotties are always welcome , bev . hey , jj . jj : hey , man . kyle : everything 's free for the asking , so do n't hesitate . bev : thanks . martha : hey , girlfriend , i 've got to talk to you . bev : what is wrong with you ? are you high ? you 're high . kyle : so , you got a job for the summer yet ? jj : yeah , i got one at club tbd . it 's a busboy , but there may be some bar action later . kyle : that place ? talk about lame . jj : yeah , my cousin owns it . kyle : well , it 's not so much the place , actually . but cleaning up after people ? i mean , come on , man . and what , the pay 's probably minimum wage , right ? jj : it 's a summer job . kyle : just saying . you do some work for me a couple days a week ... jj : dealing ? no way . kyle : jj , think about it . i hear you 're a real talent . jj : yeah , actually , i was . it was a long time ago . paige : great . somebody 's having a party . might have known . i will take beauty into my own hands ... where it belongs . rafe : sorry . i did n't mean to be giving orders , but we agreed that we were gon na back off , remember ? hope : it 's habit . i guess it 's just habit , you know ? we worked together , fall into a rhythm like old times . rafe : okay . i get it . but we need to stop . now . you got a family to look out for , and so do i. clyde made that damn comment about my sister being a sitting duck in prison . hope : i understand . rafe : okay . hope : believe me , come on , i mean , aiden 's representing clyde . rafe : exactly . there 's no sense screwing that up . hey , i know it does n't feel right . this is what we agreed to do . this is what we need to do . we 're gon na back off . right ? hope : well , for now . but thanks for looking out for me . rafe : well , yeah , any time , partner . you want to go in and get something to drink ? hope : yeah , that sounds great . [ cell phone ringing ] hope : hold on a second . hey , it 's my dad . um , i 'd better take this . would you order something for me ? rafe : yeah , i 'll get you something sweet . hope : exactly . something sweet . you know me so well . hey , daddy . rafe : well , hey , clyde . clyde : evening , rafe . kyle : seriously , man , think about it . lots of cash coming your way . day after day after day . jj : thank you , but it 's not going to happen . bev : okay , martha is so high . she is talking a mile a minute . okay , do you want another drink ? jj : that 's me . all right , man , i 'll see you . kyle : you bet . yeah , man . jj : all right . kyle : damn , i need that guy . i need that guy . hey . paige : hi . kyle : do i know you ? paige : uh , not yet . is this a private party ? kyle : yes , yes , it is . but i 'm throwing it , so you 're now invited . in fact , you 're on the a - list . paige : thanks . i actually just came for a swim . kyle : i - i can see that . well , swim away , but be sure to come back . anything you want , free for the asking . food , drinks , extras if you know what i mean . anne : uh , excuse me . sir , hi , as head of human resources here , i just wanted to say i was appalled by what dr . jonas did to you . i mean , i 'm sure it was uncalled for , but it was definitely lawsuit material , and you could make his life pretty miserable . xander : no , it was just a misunderstanding . and the last thing i want to see is nicole or daniel suffer any more grief . anne : mm - hmm . xander : daniel 's almost family . anne : who gets away with anything . well , if you change your mind ... [ phone ringing ] anne : i could give you my cell number , my -- my home address perhaps . xander : excuse me . hello , eric ? eric : i want to meet you . now . daniel : hey , thanks for meeting us here . aiden : yeah , no problem . um , i was able to do a little research . also had abe carver give me a quick rundown on the case against xander cook . nicole : aiden , why is that maniac walking the streets ? he tried to kill me and they let him walk ? how is that possible ? daniel : okay , nicole . aiden : here 's the thing : i made some phone calls . there are several very reputable people saying that they were with him that night . i mean , one is a hotel manager , one was an alderman . nicole : yeah , and a politician is so reputable . come on , i just -- daniel : okay , let aiden finish . aiden : no , no , i understand . i understand you 're upset . i really do . but i got to tell you something . between the people swearing he was in chicago the night you were attacked , phone records showing him making calls from a hotel in chicago -- nicole : oh , please . that could have been anyone . aiden : that 's true . daniel : the man 's whole life is a lie . aiden : and that very well may be , but unfortunately there 's simply no case . it 's nicole and eric 's word against xander 's . and it 's looking like he 's got a pretty tight alibi . daniel : okay , what about the security cameras at titan tv ? aiden : security tapes show nothing . in fact , there were n't even any fingerprints . nicole : none ? aiden : none . nicole : does n't that say somebody wiped the place clean ? aiden : it certainly does to me , and the police . but again ... daniel : no proof . aiden : no proof . look , nicole , i 'm sorry . i know you do n't want to hear this right now , but right now it 's looking like xander cook was never there the night you were almost killed . ( music plays ) eric : obviously you know i 'm not the only one who 's not happy to see you walk free . xander : i was having an innocent conversation with nicole , and -- eric : you stay away from nicole . xander : interesting . daniel had that same advice . but you know , eric , at no time have i ever meant any harm to you or nicole . i feel just awful you both think i was somehow involved . eric : my god . back in africa , when i was naive enough to think that you were actually a good guy , to hear about your sweet - sounding , wonderful charity . obviously it was just a front for your smuggling operation . xander : eric , i do n't know what lies -- eric : now i know who you really are . real you . he 's just a killer . because you were the one chasing nicole and me -- xander : eric , i was in chicago when -- eric : and we both know that is a lie . but i also know one more thing . you 're gon na pay . nicole : seriously , aiden , i know i 'm not the most reliable witness going here , but it happened . and eric testified the same thing . my god , he was a priest . aiden : i know that . and i wish i can give you something a little more positive , but right now it 's looking like the cops have their hands tied . nicole : so , xander just gets to walk around town free as a bird , and he can try to kill me again , any time he wants , is that what you 're saying ? daniel : nicole , the cops are still working on it . let 's not give up hope . aiden , is there anything we can do to help the police ? anything ? aiden : quite honestly , i do n't think there is , no . nicole : so , if the cops keep coming up empty ... aiden : the da will never press charges . rafe : so , how are things with you and kate ? clyde : well , you know , rafe , fourth of july fireworks got nothing on that woman . rafe : sorry . got a text , need to answer . sorry , i hate being rude . business . clyde : well , i 've come to expect nothing but rudeness from you , rafe , and i know you would n't let me down .

[ scoffs ] chloe : and i took him in . i helped get him on his feet , or at least i thought i was helping robert get on his feet . that 's why you did n't hear from me until now , philip . i did n't know until this week that he was your uncle deimos . philip : so how 'd you know ? news reports ? chloe : no , he told me everything . philip : uh , i would n't count on that . the guy 's a professional liar . chloe : yeah , i know that . philip : so deimos is in chicago . chloe : no , he 's coming back to salem . philip : he 's coming here . chloe : yeah . philip : did he tell my mother , my father ? chloe : i -- i do n't know , and i do n't care . philip : i do n't know if deimos told you , but , uh ... he and my mother -- chloe : yeah , i got some whole ugly story , and honestly , you ca n't ask me to care about kate . i do n't want to get involved in any of their drama . philip : i - i get that , but she 's still my mom . though , i guess he 'll be going after nicole now . she 's the one that pushed him in the river . chloe : no , she 's not . philip : [ sighs ] well , who was it ? i mean , he was there with nicole , and ... oh , my god . it was my mom , was n't it ? she tried to kill deimos . [ dramatic music ] nicole : so how 's the new guy staying in your house ? deimos ? is he pretty interesting ? parker : i guess . nicole : mm . did he tell you about salem ? you know , he was here for a while . parker : not really . but he does know about dinosaurs . nicole : ooh , cool . so he 's nice to you ? parker : he was fine with me , but ... after you left , mom got pretty mad at him . nicole : well , that does n't sound good . why was she mad ? parker : i do n't know , but she definitely did n't like deimos anymore . [ light somber music ] nicole : you know , kiddo , deimos , he can be a nice guy . sometimes he can be kind of ... well , he likes to play games , and i think sometimes when people say or do things to get what they want , they 're just being selfish , and they only care about themselves . so just be careful around deimos , okay ? parker : okay . nicole : bam it out ? bam ! all right , eat your ice cream . [ chuckles ] so good . mmm . roman : [ sighs ] kate : are you working tonight ? roman : we 're busy . what brings you down here so late ? kate : i ca n't very well sit home staring at the phone , now , can i ? what are you doing to find my husband ? roman : first of all , we do n't know that deimos is dead . kate : exactly . exactly . right now , he could be laying face - down in the mud needing medical attention . if he 's not , if he 's gone , i need to know . roman : so do we . but there 's nothing you can do here tonight . go home . get some sleep . no offense -- you do n't look so good . kate : really ? how am i supposed to look ? my husband 's missing . roman : [ sighs ] come here .

[ crickets chirping ] philip : when do you head back to chicago ? chloe : tomorrow . parker wants to see a few friends first , and he knows about maggie 's accident . i do n't think he quite understands it , but he 'd like to see her if she 's up for it . philip : i 'm sure she would be . quick trip ! chloe : yeah , well , i got to get back . my gig at the club got cut in half , and i 've got to find another job , or i 'm gon na have to start teaching again . there is a conservatory that 's like an hour away -- philip : no . chloe : no ? philip : do n't go back . chloe : uh , what ? philip : why did n't i think of this sooner ? chloe : what are you talking about ? philip : stick around tomorrow . i 'll have an offer for you that will change your life . chloe : philip , what -- philip : just - just - just -- just give me a bit to get everything square . we 'll need plenty of time to go over it . breakfast tomorrow at brady pub . chloe : okay . are you gon na give me a hint ? philip : tomorrow . i need to find my mom .

roman : yeah , c can . we got to work at it . we got to be optimistic . we got to be hopeful . but , you know , maybe if the kids see us , you know , happy , in love , respecting each other , maybe they 'll be more likely to find that kind of relationship themselves . kate : lucas will never have that with sami , believe me . roman : kate , what the hell are you doing ?

belle : i 'll be extra careful , i promise . brady : congratulations . belle : ahh ! wait , wait . should n't we talk to mom and dad about this ? 'cause what if they say no ? brady : i took care of it . i already talked to them . belle : and they 're okay with this ? brady : i think they 're going to miss having you around this summer , but they both agreed that you are mature enough to live on your own . belle : they said that ? brady : yeah , it 's kind of hard to believe , is n't it ? belle : oh , you are really -- brady : all right , all right , all right -- but seriously , serious , i would n't be doing this if i did n't think you were ready . belle : that 's very sweet of you , brady . brady : well , you are an adult now . i think you can take care of yourself . belle : i wish some people thought that . brady : uh - oh . what happened ? something go on with shawn , or ... belle : and philip , but i really do n't want to talk about it , 'cause it 's just going to get me upset . brady : as you know , no one messes with my little -- wait a second , my grown - up sister -- and getsway with it . belle : it 's really not that big of a deal . so , um ... how are you doing now that chloe 's gone ? brady : not great . brady : especially he . e. everything i see reminds me of her . belle : which is why you moved out . brady : mm - hmm . not that i do n't think about her all the time , no matter where i am . belle : have you , uh , talked to her ? brady : no . i mean , i 've picked up the phone at least a dozen times to call her , but i could never go through with it . belle : why not ? brady : because ... i would n't know atat to say . i mean , it would either be a serious conversation about how much i miss her , and how hard this is ... whether or not i made the right decision pushing her to leave salem . or you know what ? it would just be idtic small talk , like , `` how 's the weather where you are ? 'cause it 's really hot here in salem . `` either way -- either way , it would just be really lame . besides , chloe really needs her space right now , and the last thing she needs is -- is ... a distraction like me . but damn it , you know , i made the right decision . i know i did . do me a favor , okay ? do n't ever let me fall in love again . i mean , if it ever starts to happen , just remind me of what a colossal waste of energy it really is . belle : but it 's not , brady . and you know it 's not . just because a relationship does n't last forever , it does n't mean it 's a waste . life does n't last forever , and it 's still a wonderful thing . it has meaning and value . brady : touché . what i had with chloe was ... it was unbelievable . if i could do it all over again , i would not change a thing . belle : hey , do you -- do you mind if i call shawn and invite him over ? brady : it 's your place . go ahead . shawn - d : you think she 's actually going to sit back and let the guys run the show ? i mean , you know belle . you saw her in puerto rico when we were chasing after gran 's ruby . philip : yeah . she had to be right in the middle of the action . shawn - d : so then you see my point . actually , i 'm going to give her a call right now . oh , what do you know ? philip : who is it -- belle ? shawn - d : yeah . she wants us to meet her at brady 's loft . philip : really ? shawn - d : yeah . philip : i wonder why . shawn - d : i do n't know . what do you say we go find out , huh ? philip : yeah . nicole : where are you ? ! larry : right here . nicole : you know , larry , i thought you bailed on me . larry : yeah , well , you were taking so damn long to get the bullets , i decided to get them myself . nicole : well ? larry : voilà . ripped them off from a dealer . you know , you may be easy on the eyes , sweet cakes , but you 're not very easy to work with . nicole : well , excuse me . i 've never planned a murder before . larry : okay , relax , all right ? it 's just time to get the show on the road , that 's all . the sooner , the better . nicole : what do you want me to do ? larry : whatever it takes to lure victor into the public so i can get a clear shot at him . nicole : no way that 's going to happen . rex : but i thought for sure you and lucas had -- wait a second . i got to tell mimi . cassie : oh , that 's terrific . now the whole town 's going to know . mimi : [ humming ] rex : mimi ! hey ! mimi : i did n't hear anything , i swear . rex : it 's okay . we got here in tim mimi : what ? you 're kidding ! you guys didn't ... cassie : no , not that it 's any of your damn business , but , no , we didn't . the whole time i was here with lucas , i felt like there was something wrong . that was you , was n't it ? you were -- you were trying to warn me . mimi : well , then everything 's cool then . cassie : no , everything 's not cool . mimi : sorry , i just meant that since -- cassie : mimi , i was in bxdith him . how can i live with myself ? how can i ever face him again ? rex : hey , come on , it 's going to be okay , cass . cassie : no , it 's not going to be okay . do n't you get it ? this is the kind of thing that stays with you . you ca n't just block it out and forget that it ever happened . my god , what 's wrong with me ? rex : nothing is wrong with you . okay ? you 're smart , and you 're beautiful . do n't let one mistake change the way you feel about yourself . cassie : i have to get out of here . rex : where are you going to go ? i mean , can i drive you ? cassie : no , rex , you 've done enough for me tonight . i -- i have to deal with this on my own . rex : just wait , wait , wait . listen , you ca n't tell anyone about this , okay , or our lives as dimeras are over . please , just do n't tell anyone . cassie : i have to go . mimi : think she 'll keep her mouth shut ? nicole : how am i supposed to lure victor out in public when he keeps me locked up like a damn prisoner ? larry : so dramatic . nicole : i 'm serious . we do n't even go out together , not unless it 's victor 's idea . so if it 's gon na happen , it 's got to happen right here in his own backyard . larry : you know , that actually would work . i mean , the d d man has been the target of hit men before , has n't he ? all we have to do is make it look like a -- a hit man got on the grounds and put one right in his head . what 's wrong , sweetheart ? having second thoughts ? huh ? 'cause , you know , when victor hits the concrete for the last time , you 're going to be the merry widow . think about it . money , freedom -- they 'll all be yours . and then you ... sweet thing ... you 'll be all mine . belle : hey . shawn - d : hey . belle : guys , come on in ! philip : hey . shawn - d : doing okay ? belle : yeah , i 'm fine . hey . philip : how you doing ? brady : hey , what 's up ? shawn - d : what 's going on with your sister ? philip : what 's up , brady ? brady : hey there . so , did you want to tell them , or should i ? philip : tell us -- tell us what ? belle : welcome to my new place . shawn - d : are you serious ? belle : yeah . yeah , i 'm serious . well , brady moved in with victor , so , um , he asked me to move in here . shawn - d : just like that ? belle : `` just like that ? `` what , did you want me to take a few years and think about it ? shawn - d : you know what i mean . it just seems kind of sudden , that 's all . belle : well , brady moved out suddenly , so , yeah , i guess everything 's going pretty quickly , but my mom and dad are okay with it , accordi to brady , so why wait ? you know , it never occurred to me that i could be living here . this just always seemed like brady 's place . shawn - d : well , is n't it ? belle : is n't it what ? shawn - d : brady 's place . belle : no , not anymore . shawn - d : well , did n't you say you were just going to move in with grandpa victor temporarily ? brady : not necessarily . i mean , i 'm not going to be living there the rest of my life , but if it works out , yeah , i could be there for quite a while . it 's convenient fowowork , there 's tons of space there , and besides , i think my grandfather enjoys my company . shawn - d : what happens if you get sick of living at the kiriakis mansion and you want to move back into your loft ? what happens then ? do you just kick belle out ? brady : you 're being really negative about this , shawn , and for some strange reason , i do n't think it 's about me . shawn - d : i have a problem with her moving in , getting all settled , and then a week later having to move out . brady : okay , so who are you , her mother ? who is , by the way , totally cool with this , as she just told you , so i do n't understand why you 're not . shawn - d : i 'm cool with it if belle is . belle : i am ! ca n't you see that ? i am beside myself . i 'm excited and grateful , and it just feels right . and you 're acting grim about it . shawn - d : i just do n't want you living all by yourself . belle : why exactly is that ? shawn - d : because of this neighborhood . look how bad it is . brady : ah , shawn , you do n't have a clue what the hell you 're talking about . this neighborhood is perfectly safe . it 's lively . tons of young people live in and around this building . there 's a 24-hour drugstore on the corner . and do you think that my parents -- our parents -- would allow ble to live here alone if it were n't totally safe ? shawn - d : all right , i guess not . belle : no , no , of course they wouldn't . so stop worrying and being a downer , and just be happy for me . shawn - d : yeah , fine . i 'm great . it 's great . belle : shawn , this is incredible . i can have my friends over , and i can cook for them , which i love . and brady 's right . this is an amazing neighborhood . it 's two blocks away from salem place . that 's perfect . i have the most incredible brother , or what ? philip : your own bachelorette pad , huh , belle ? belle : yeah , now ... philip : good deal . belle : all i need to do is set up my justin timberla p posters . brady : i do n't think so . belle : i was just kidding . belle : look , shawn , this place wo n't mean anything to me if i do n't have you to share it with . i mean , i could cook for you , and if that cooking thing does n't work out , we can order pizza , and we can watch tv together , and i can share my dreams with you -- which you 're in all of , by the way . you know that , do n't you ? lucas : `` cassie . `` i did not sleep with cassie . all right ? how can you even say that -- me and cassie ? i mean , she 's cute , but -- i mean , i did n't sleep with her . all right , that i know . i did not sleep with cassie . you know what ? what 's it to you , anyway ? it 's none of your business who i date ! i can date whoever i want !

lucas : man , what 's the point ? sami : okay , okay . come on , nicole . get out of here . we 'll talk later , okay ? here 's your stuff . nicole : not only are you being rude , but you made me spill my drink . sami : you 've had enough already , okay ? goodbye . nicole : [ whistles ] fine . you do n't want to enjoy my fabulous company ? okay . maybe lucas will . sami : what ? nicole : maybe he 'd be surprised if i told him his good old pal stan lived right down the hall . sami : nicole , come back . all right , get in here . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm rex : what ? you do n't think the judge will let mimi go ? mickey : it 's not a sure thing . i 'm warning you -- it 's the judge 's call . roman , i think you should know that your nephew missed his pretrial hearing . roman : oh , man , shawn . mickey : judge fitzpatrick has issued a bench warrant for his arrest . roman : damn it ! patrick : i 'm starting to think my mom was right . instead of wasting our time waiting for the legal system to do the right thing , we should have just tried to bust her out of here . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mimi : are you sure you 're all right ? you still look kind of pale . marlena : i 'm just a little nauseated , that 's all . mimi : could it be food poisoning or something ? marlena : no , i 've had an upset stomach . it just does n't usually happen this time of day . mimi : this time of day ? are you ... pregnant ? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm shawn d. : you 're going on john 's private plane . why ca n't i just fly back with you ? kate : do i really have to answer that ?

philip : no , of course not . kate : honey , there it is . philip : how could he be all right with that , mom ? i know that shawn loves belle . the thing is he has no choice but to accept her decision . i know he 's not happy about it , but shawn and i talked things through , and we 're cool , right ? shawn d. : yeah . yeah , everything 's cool . john : how about you , izzy ? you okay with this ? belle : yeah , if shawn wants to fly back with us , i mean , i guess that 's all right with me . philip : good . now that , that 's settled , can we go home , please ?

strictly up to the judge , okay ? patrick : yeah , we understand . rex : mickey , i love mimi , and it kills me to see her behind bars like this . i do n't care what she says . she 's got to be terrified in there . roman : being behind bars , thinking about going to prison , would terrify anybody , especially a sweet , innocent kid like mimi . but at least marlena 's back there with her right now . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mimi : congratulations . does john know ? marlena : no . no . it 's our anniversary . mimi : what a great anniversary present . he is gon na be so thrilled . so will belle . oh , my gosh . i ca n't believe she 's gon na have a little brother or sister . you just got back from europe . you do n't waste time , do you ?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lucas : [ sighs ] sami : i have told you this a hundred times , nicole . you can not tell anyone that i was stan , especially not lucas . i 'm gon na make you some coffee . nicole : i do n't need any coffee ! look , i might be a little tipsy , but i know exactly what i 'm doing . sami : do you realize what would happen if you told everybody that i was stan ? nicole : of course i do . why do you think i 'm threatening you with it ? sami : no , you do n't . no more , okay ? listen to me . we made a deal , remember ? we agreed to protect each other 's backs . nicole : that 's right . a 2-way street . sami : [ sighs ] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm philip : hi . belle : hey . i think maybe you need to get some rest . you look tired . philip : i feel tired . thank you so much for staying here with me . belle : you do n't need to keep thanking me , philip . i 'm your wife . i 'm right where i belong . kate : i guess i 've been pretty hard to put up with these past few days . thank you . thank you for putting up with me . and thank you for taking such good care of philip . john : your boy is a true hero , kate . and he 's my son - in - law . nothing i would n't do for him . kate : still , i appreciate it . john : works both ways . i think you even fixed my back . kate : oh , you 're missing part of your anniversary , are n't you ? john : we 'll be home soon enough . it 'll be good to see marlena . kate : yeah , it 'll be good to see roman , too . john : i know what you 're thinking . kate : do you ? john : yeah . and just like you , i think philip and belle , they 're gon na make this marriage work . i 'm gon na go talk to the pilot . kate : [ sighs ] belle : what are you doing ? shawn d. : we need to talk . belle : there 's nothing more to say . shawn d. : this is the only place i can get you alone , so just give me a minute . i want you to know that this is n't over , okay ? i 'm not giving up on us . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm rex : this is torture . how much longer do we have to wait ? mickey : we probably should n't even be here tonight . there 's no guarantee that we 're going to hear anything from the judge tonight at all . rex : all the judge has to do is look at the damn tapes ! roman : you 're letting your emotions get the best of you . rex : yes , i 'm emotional , dad ! the woman i love is going to prison for a crime she did n't commit ! roman : the problem is she confessed . do you understand that ? rex : people confess to crimes they did n't commit all the time . they get browbeaten . roman : rex , come on . you got to be kidding me . mimi was not browbeaten . i can assure you of that . now , i know you love her . rex : more than anything , dad . and you 'd do the same thing for the woman you love . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mimi : i 'm sorry . that was a really stupid question . i know i 'm in no position to give advice , especially to a psychiatrist , but i think john will understand how it happened . i mean , you and roman were locked up together all those months . you probably thought you 'd never get out of there . marlena : john would understand if i had told him in the beginning . but i did n't do that . against my better judgment , i let roman persuade me that john was too frail and that he and kate would be distraught by it . we never dreamed i would turn up pregnant . mimi , i need you to keep this to yourself . mimi : of course . marlena : i know how close you and belle are , and i need some time to sort out how i want to handle this . mimi : i promise i wo n't say a word . marlena : thank you . mimi : i know how stressed you must be feeling . i mean , the last thing i ever expected was to wind up pregnant , but i did . and i definitely never thought i 'd have an abortion . you would never consider -- marlena : no . no , i would n't . mimi : this is really weird . i lost the love of my life because i decided not to have my baby , and you might lose the love of your life because you 've decided to have yours . marlena : that may very well happen . mimi : when i came to you for counseling , you told me to tell rex the truth . marlena : i still think that you should do that . mimi : well , that 's what you 're gon na do , right ?

i totally agree . of course , kate did n't see it that way . marlena : no . she did n't , did she ? roman : well , lucas is her son , and she ca n't forgive sami for hurting him . marlena : roman , i know she 's your wife , but i do n't like her attitude . roman : why ? because she ca n't get along with sami ? marlena : no . because she hates sami . i hope this does not become a matter between the two of you , but sami is her stepdaughter , and it 's possible she could be her daughter - in - law . she has to find a way to get along with sami if she wants any kind of reciprocity . i have n't said anything to kate up until now because of philip and what he 's going through , but the time will come when she and i have this one out . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [ indistinct shouting in distance ] mimi : who would have thought dr. evans would be going through what i went through ?

[ chuckles ] probably should get a refund on those . yeah , you should probably try and get a refund on him , too , seeing as how he went rogue and killed a poor , innocent woman . stefano : elvis , have you ever seen this man before ? ej : maybe . i do n't know . if i saw this guy , i would think that he was rafe . sami : oh , my god , you 're such a liar ! stefano : ah , now , see , i am starting to see a plot here . ej : i think so . stefano : see , obviously , they have hired this man , and they are going to try to use him to frame us . sami : okay , you know what ? i am sick of listening to this . bo , can we just please arrest them and move on to the next step , where they 're in prison ? you know , and then we go to trial , and then we let a jury of your 12 peers decide who they believe -- rafe , the ex - fbi - agent- turned - salem - police - officer , or you , the resident lowlife . taylor : okay , sami , sami , just -- would you stop ? would you just -- just leave ej alone ? sami : leave him alone ? honey , i 'm just getting started . melanie : just so you know , brady and i are friends , you know , like , he 's got my back , i 've got his , but that 's -- that 's it . dario : he wants more . melanie : why are we talking about what brady wants ? dario : uh -- i do n't know , because it 's easier than talking about what you want . melanie : oh . dario : so ... what do you want ? melanie : to start over . dario : alone or with someone new ? melanie : i think it would have to be with ... the right someone . dario : and have you met him yet ? melanie : yeah . i think so . carly : i - i did n't realize that you were having such a hard time being with daniel . i mean , the two of you seemed so -- i do n't know -- easy together . jennifer : uh , you -- [ laughs ] we -- we are . we -- we have a lot in common . but the biggest thing we have in common is that we are both on the rebound , so i think it 's a really good time to exercise caution , that 's all . [ cell phone rings ] carly : you know what ? it 's the floor nurse . she has a question about a patient . i better take this , okay ? so i wo n't be long . jennifer : yeah , okay . carly : okay .

[ scoffs ] and all for a job . and then i realized you 're worse , 'cause you orchestrated this whole thing . and you knowingly put him in your children 's lives . you left him alone with them , these kids that you 're supposed to love . and for what ? why ? why did you do this ? 'cause i - i - i love my husband . obviously , you do n't understand how important marriage vows are . they clearly mean nothing to you . but they mean something to me . he means everything to me ! i was willing to do anything ... to get my husband back . and just so we 're all clear , that means i was intimate with him . i had sex with him . i talked to ... my uncle bo , uh , about what that means , what that -- what that is . bo : she never would have consented to have sex with him if she had known the truth . sami : which means there 's a legal definition ... for what happened to me . bo : it 's called rape . sami : and you ... orchestrated it . you made it happen ... which makes you ... bo : accessories to rape . jennifer : you know , this is the first time ... daniel : hmm ? jennifer : probably since i was a teenager that i have not been completely dependent on a man . daniel : all right , and that 's a good thing ? jennifer : i do n't think it 's a bad thing . daniel : okay , can i , uh -- can i make an observation here ? jennifer : sure . daniel : okay , for most of that time , you have been emotionally dependent on your husband , right ? jennifer : yes . daniel : right . now , i admit , i do n't know the guy -- i really do n't . what i know about him is basically what you 've told me . but it seems to me that for much of your life , you have been married to ... oh , i do n't know ... a moron . emotionally dependent on a moron . jennifer : hey , wait . daniel : no , no , i mean it . i mean it . what kind of man -- a man -- leaves a woman like you and a daughter like abigail ? guy 's a tool . jennifer : so i guess i 'm the idiot who picked him . daniel : well , hold on , now . um , that 's -- it 's my turn . jennifer : okay . daniel : all right ? jennifer : all right . daniel : um , look , after my wife died , i developed a habit of , um ... being drawn to women who are going to screw up my life , guaranteed . and maybe i - i was just scared to get close to someone ... someone who would remind me of , uh ... what i lost . and the reason that i know i 'm doing that is because of you . you are so different . and it is different in the way it feels with you . vivian : but i 'm very concerned for you . carly : just get out of my way . vivian : oh , but you see , you have no one to talk to . after all , you murdered lawrence , and your son , nicholas , despises you . and then , of course , bo went back to his wife . and this newfound family you have does n't seem to have any use for you . carly : well , i guess there 's one consolation . there 's nothing left for you to take away from me . vivian : [ cockney accent ] oh , i would n't say that . stefano : accessories to rape . [ laughs ] why , you -- you have got to be joking . ej : look , samantha , if you fell prey to this , uh , gentleman ... it 's your decision . it had nothing to do with me . sami : you set me up . ej : prove that in court . bo : fay figured out what you guys were up to , huh ? that 's why she had to go . taylor : okay , could you not use my mother 's death in trying to solve your case ? bo : what ? you do n't want to know the truth about what happened to her ? you were standing right over there when you heard this `` gentleman `` say that he murdered her . hope : do n't you want to know why he said that , taylor ? taylor : okay , i want to know a lot of things . i want -- and i do n't even know where to begin . but can somebody please explain to me again why sami was lying on the floor that night , wearing my mother 's cameo ? rafe : well , i can tell you how he got it . i found it among his possessions . rafe 2 : he 's lying . [ scoffs ] stefano : you know , it seems to me that everybody here is lying ... except elvis and me . sami : boy , that sums it up , taylor . i have my life back . i am free and clear of him . i 'm never gon na fall for his act again . but you -- you have a very beautiful ring on your finger , and it is now up to you to make a decision -- if you want to marry him and then find out that he created frankenstein 's monster over here , the man that murdered your mother . dario : so , um , uh , this someone , do -- do i know him ? melanie : [ inhales sharply ] yeah , i guess so , i mean , as well as you could know anybody . dario : well , you know he 's very different than you . melanie : maybe that 's what i like about him . dario : and , uh ... do you know what he likes about you ? melanie : what ? dario : everything . quinn : you 're back . vivian : i am . i ran into carly manning . there was something a bit off about her . quinn : and you want to know what that something is . vivian : mm . i think i can get her this time . quinn : another glass of champagne ? vivian : well ... why not ? cheers . phelps : and you 'll let me know next time i can be of service ? man : yeah , sure . phelps : what can i do for you ? carly : nothing . phelps : come on , sweetheart . people only come to this part of the pier for two reasons , and you do n't look like a hooker . what 's your problem ? carly : i do n't have one . phelps : you just like to take long walks down to the pier late at night ? you a cop ? carly : nope . phelps : [ laughs ] so you 're looking to score , right ? it 's okay , honey . you came to the right place . daniel : hey . i know you 're scared . but do n't walk away from what we have here . jennifer : daniel , i ... daniel : what ? just tell me . tell me . jennifer : i ca n't tell you . daniel : yes , you can . jennifer : you do n't understand . daniel : yes , i will understand . all you need to do is talk to me . jennifer , just -- mm . [ exhales sharply , groans ] taylor : ej did n't have anything to do with my mother 's death . sami : how do you know that ? taylor : because i saw his face when i told him . he had no idea that she 'd been murdered . sami : oh , my god , does that ring make you stupid ? ej : you will not speak to her like that . sami : oh , shut up . the entire time the two of you were sneaking around behind nicole 's back , he had rafe locked in the basement . he was in charge . he had control over the whole thing . that does n't give you pause ? taylor : no , i - i have n't seen any proof . i have n't seen any proof yet that what you 're saying is true . sami : you need more proof than him ? okay , fine . let 's go down to the basement . stefano : yes , please do . you 'll find a wine cellar , a humidor . help yourself to some chianti , if you 'd like . sami : oh , my god . all right , look , i get it , okay ? he 's persuasive . look , i have been there . i understand where you 're coming from . but you have to know that i have walked in on him . i heard him . i heard him making promises to god that he would change his ways so that our son would get healthy , because he had cancer . that 's the kind of man you are holding hands with . if he can look god in the face and pull a scam ... you got to know he 'll do the same thing to you . ej : you -- i mean -- taylor : ej -- ej : no . taylor : ej ... tell me this is n't true . tell me you did not do what they are saying . daniel : she ended it with me . it 's done . adrienne : you 're making a huge mistake . ej : none of what these people say is true . none of it . | nicole came to and remembered that she untied rafe . she hoped she did the right thing . she tried to stand up and passed out again . at the dimera mansion , fake rafe told ej and stefano that rafe was pretending to be him and that rafe and sami have been playing with them . taylor walked in the living room and was shocked to see two rafes . taylor demanded to know what was going on . rafe told taylor that he is the real rafe and that the fake rafe killed her mother . at the hospital , carly spoke to daniel and got a chilly response from him . he told her about his problem with jennifer . she said she 'd talk to her . at the sapphire club , quinn and vivian talked about going after carly . quinn planned on doing some digging on carly to they can get something on her . at the cheating heart , brady talked to melanie about how she covered for him about ej 's attack . dario overheard their conversation . when brady left , dario told melanie that brady wants something from her . he wants the same thing . later , brady found nicole at the warehouse . she told him how she found `` rafe `` tied up there . he did n't believe her and thought she was drunk . taylor demanded answers . rafe told ej to be a man and tell the truth for once . sami showed up at the mansion to confront ej . she slapped ej . she told him that he would pay and slapped him again . sami wanted ej to tell taylor why he kept rafe in the dungeon , kept him drugged , and took his memory from him . sami continued to unload about what ej did to her . ej tried to deny everything . he tried to walk out , but bo and hope stopped him . stefano figured that bo was behind everything . bo informed stefano that he and ej are in big trouble . |

[ scoffs ] you ca n't remember where you parked the car the night before or if you even drove it , in the first place . you have zero memory for any of it . it 's all a blank . theresa : sanctimonious witch . maggie : [ scoffs ] do you remember phone calls that you make , texts you send ? you run a company , brady . how long do you think before it catches up with you in business , let alone in your personal life ? brady : let me tell you -- none of this would be happening if it were n't for my father , maggie , because you know what ? he pushes my buttons . he 's constantly on my case . maggie : oh , come on , give me a break , brady ! do n't blame someone else for your addictions ! this has nothing to do with john ! brady : no , i told you ! he is -- theresa : back the hell off , lady ! maggie : oh ! excuse me ! theresa : yeah , you heard me . you need to stop harassing brady right now . clyde : well , as much as i enjoy chatting with you , kate , i 'm real eager to see my kids . so , if could point me in the right direction ... kate : of course i could . um , ben , works at a club in town called the tbd . uh , and jordan is a physical therapist . she works at the university hospital . but i have to tell you , i think it 's a little early for either one of them to be at work . clyde : actually , i was hoping you might know where they live . i 'd hate to barge in on 'em at work . kate : well , sure . i mean , i could . i - i do n't know where -- where ben lives , though , but , um ... i believe i do have ... jordan 's address . clyde : that 's fine . i can start with my daughter . kate : okay . here we go . clyde : oh , and i was wondering -- if i do n't find her at home or if you should see either one of 'em before i do , would you mind not saying anything for now ? kate : [ chuckles ] well , of course not . i will not say a word until they have set eyes on you theirselves . would n't want to spoil anything . clyde : thank you . kate : and , um ... i 'm wondering if you could show me the same discretion . i think if jordan and ben knew that i was the one who tipped you off about your family , they might -- they might take it the wrong way . clyde : if that 's what you want , you got my word . kate : good . okay , then . well , good luck to you . clyde : thank you , ma'am . thank you for everything . both : mm . rafe : i know you want to talk to me , and i really do want to hear what you have to say ... but do you think you could hold off for a little while ? jordan : yeah , sure . is there something you need to do first ? rafe : yes . jordan : mm . [ chuckles ] eric : you could n't care less about sami or ej and the story . you just want to get in my face . and you 'll use any excuse to do that -- even this horrible situation between my sister and her new husband . nicole : that is not fair . look , i want to get to the truth about this for sami and ... [ sighs ] eric : [ scoffs ] nicole : okay ... maybe you 're right . i did want to see you , and -- and this just seemed like a good opportunity . i want to know if my testimony did anything to sway the bishop on your case . did what i say or what daniel said help at all ? eric : no , i have n't heard anything yet . nicole : eric , please . it -- is it so wrong to want to know if i helped make things right for you ? eric : no , but we both know that 's not your real motive . sami : it 's certainly useful to have a notary at your beck and call . ej : do n't forget to sign the proxy , as well as the power of attorney . sami : no , i did n't . i got it all . well , everything 's in order . you should n't have any problems . sami : okay . [ sighs ] ej : okay , so , listen , so the proxy -- that gives you the right to vote my shares . the power of attorney gives you -- thank you . just doing my job . ej : gives you control of the company . okay ? sami : ej , i can do this , all right ? i just wish we did n't have to . i wish this was not how we were spending our first days being married . we should be on a beach somewhere enjoying our honeymoon . ej : oh , we will be . trust me . i 'll either get this case in court , or i 'll get it thrown out . one way or the other , we 'll get our marriage back on track , okay ? sami : listen to my husband , the eternal optimist . ej : i do whatever is necessary to protect my family and our future . all right ? i ca n't wait to see you and the kids again . sami : they miss you . ej : i know . i miss all of you . now go on . get out of here . go and kick some ass in that boardroom . sami : [ laughs ] i will . i know i 'll have you by my side . trust me . i 've got this covered . ej : i have confidence in you . what happens when women use dove bar for 7 days with no mirrors ? theresa : you have no right to lay into brady that way . you have no idea what his father 's been saying or doing . and by the way , mr. john black is the problem . brady : okay , okay , theresa , just -- theresa : `` okay `` what , brady ? look , she needs to hear this . you know , i 've seen with my own eyes the way your dad treats you . anytime john black is in his airspace , he picks a fight . i mean , with all that negativity swirling around you , who would n't go to a dark place to block out the pain ? maggie : do you know what ? i do n't know where to start addressing how much is wrong with your defense of brady . theresa : [ laughs ] oh , god , please . maggie : theresa ! theresa : you know , no , we 're just blowing off some steam . we 're having a little fun . but then you and his father and everyone else in this town with an opinion just want to weigh in . and you know what ? we 're sick of it . maggie : oh , my god . you did listen in to a private conversation behind those closed doors ! brady : that 's enough . come on , all right , i 'm done with this . i got to go to work . i do n't have time for this . maggie : fine . i 'm available to talk whenever you want . theresa : can you believe that woman ? brady : listen to me . i 'm sorry for the change in plans , but we have to rain- check breakfast , because there is something that i got to do . eric : the only reason you want to know if your testimony helped is because you 're looking for an inroad back into my life . the way you get there is always a little bit different , but you 're working an angle . nicole : no , not this time . eric : every time . but it 's a lost cause . i mean , do n't you get it ? we can never be together , even as friends , because friends do n't do what you did . there 's nothing for you here ... with me . there ca n't be . kate : just wait . sami : just get it off . kate : all right ! all right . sami : god , all right , thank you . everything else is under control ? kate : yeah , yeah , i spoke to stefano . he was turning around his jet after he was tipped off that a arrest warrant would be waiting for him in salem . sami : who does he think is behind it ? kate : well ... sami : yes , right . kate : he did n't really say , although i would put money on the fact that he probably thinks it 's his very own elvis -- maybe shin , cooking up a coup . [ laughs ] sami : the point is it worked . kate : flawlessly . sami : so i have ej 's shares , and you have control of stefano 's . maggie : oh , my goodness . oh , where is it ? eric : oh , i 'm so sorry . maggie : oh , oh ! oh , my goodness ! oh , oh ! eric : no worries , this -- maggie : eric , i 'm sorry . [ laughs ] eric : i 'm sorry . is everything okay ? maggie : uh , yeah , yeah . i suppose . i - i was walking , for quite a while , i guess . i - i do n't know . i ended up here . i 'm not sure how . eric : well , what do you say i get us a couple iced coffees and we can talk ? maggie : you 're so nice . but i - i was -- i was worried about someone -- a sponsee . someone who i had very high hopes for seems to be backsliding quite a bit . eric : i 'm sorry to hear that . maggie : it 's sad , yes . i 'm afraid that that person is ... is gon na end up like most addicts do ... lost forever . theresa : you sure you want to be alone right now , brady ? brady : like i said ... theresa : well , i know . i know . it 's important . um , but , i mean , you could skip it , and we could just work , and we could grab a bite to eat and do what we planned , you know ? and then we could go back to my place . oh , come on , brady -- brady : i ca n't -- theresa : look , i took the morning off to be with you . brady : look , i know , i know , i know . i 'm sorry , but there is something important that i have to deal with . theresa : what 's so important that you want to ditch a morning off with me , hmm ? brady : theresa , it 's -- it 's -- it 's my problem , and i have to deal with it . theresa : hey , i get that . but , i mean -- brady : theresa , i need a little space right now , okay ? theresa : sure . yeah , got it . brady : i 'll -- i 'll call you a car to take you home . theresa : no , do n't . it 's , um -- it 's a nice day . i 'll walk . we 'll , um -- we 'll talk later ? brady : yeah . theresa : okay . brady : [ breathes deeply ] [ sighs ] okay . a few tweaks to mr. sun 's proposal ... and it 'll be a perfect fit for someone else . [ cell phone ringing ] john : john black . brady : dad , it 's me . we need to talk . [ both sigh ] rafe : okay . okay . you can tell me whatever you want to tell me now ... or over breakfast ... jordan : mm . rafe : since i did have the floor first . [ cell phone ringing ] jordan : ugh . rafe : is that -- yeah . jordan : uh , i think it 's yours . rafe : no ... jordan : [ sighs ] work ? rafe : yeah . oh , brother . they need me -- they need me to come down there and take care of something . but if you want to talk ... jordan : no , you know what ? what i want to tell you is n't going away . it 's not gon na change , and -- and it really should n't be a rushed conversation , so ... rafe : okay . after work , then ? jordan : sure . rafe : all right . mm . i 'm just gon na run and take a quick shower ... jordan : okay . rafe : if you 'd let me . [ both laugh ] jordan : [ sighs ] kate : oh , ye of little faith , i have time before the meeting . sami : you do n't have stefano 's shares . kate : yet . sami : the meeting is today . kate : i will get them before the meeting ! sami : and if you do n't ? kate : well , if i do n't , then everything is status quo . sami : that is not good enough , kate . kate : [ sighs ] sami : if you do n't get those shares away from stefano , then my cheating bastard of a husband has too much power at that company , along with his thug of a father ... kate : okay . sami : whom you claim to despise , right ? i have that right , do n't i ? kate : shh ! shh ! [ whispering ] just keep your voice down , all right ? sami : [ whispering ] kate , you ca n't do this to me . you have to get stefano 's shares , or our plan is dead . and then where the hell does that leave us ? nicole : my , oh , my . karma really is a bitch , is n't it ? john : kind of surprised to hear from you . brady : i 'm glad you came , dad . listen , i wanted to see you because ... i do n't want to fight anymore , you know , and ... [ sighs ] i just want us to try to make a fresh start . john : i want the same thing , son . brady : good ... because i have a proposal as to how we can make that happen . maggie : i - i 've said too much . eric : well , no names were mentioned , so ... maggie : no , but it -- you know , it 's not right ... for me to discuss another person 's problems , even if you do n't know who they are . eric : yeah . maggie : so , let 's talk about something else . [ sighs ] how are you ? i heard what happened with nicole . i 'm so sorry . eric : thank you . it 's -- it 's been rough , but , you know , i 'm kind of focused on the future , wherever that may lead . theresa : [ scoffs ] is that holier - than - thou bitch trash - talking me to my cousin now ? maggie : aw . you take care . eric : i will . you too . maggie : yeah . theresa : eric , hey . eric : hey , theresa . theresa : i just saw you talking to maggie , and , um ... anyway , it does n't matter . hey , grandma told me that you may become a priest again . eric : there 's no word yet . theresa : well , i think that 's awesome ... uh , for you , anyway . eric : yeah , thanks . theresa : hey , look , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry that nicole lied to you . but i did warn you about her . ej : who let you in here ? nicole : are you kidding me ? this is like a second home . i 'm practically on a first - name basis with most of the guards here . ej : mm - hmm . so what do you want ? nicole : well , it 's funny . you walked out of my life when i went to prison for taking sydney . and we -- we made peace with each other , did n't we ? i mean , you found it in your heart to forgive me , and i forgave you for the laundry list of things that you did to me . but forgiveness has an expiration date , does n't it ? ej : so , what , you came here to gloat ? nicole : no . [ chuckles ] oddly enough , i came here to help you . oh , what ? ej : [ laughs ] nicole : you 're laughing ? you do n't -- you do n't want help , even though you 're on the wrong side of those bars ? ej : you want to help me ? why ? nicole : well , let 's be real , ej . helping you helps me . kate : would you calm down ? you just need to relax . sami : no , no , kate . i 'm not calming down . do you understand the plan ? i mean , because it sounds like you do n't understand -- kate : i understand the plan perfectly , all right ? but stefano , unlike ej , is not a caged bird with one option . he has irons in the fire all over town . but ultimately i believe he will choose me as his proxy . in fact , i 'm certain of it . [ cell phone ringing ] sami : [ sighs ] kate : stefano . hello , my love . yes , is everything okay ? stefano : mm . could you be free in a couple of hours ? kate : of course i could . does this by any chance have anything to do with that arrest warrant , you making the decision not to come back into salem ? stefano : actually , it does . i will need to sign over my shares to you , katherine . kate : does that mean that you want me to go to the meeting , to place your votes by proxy ? stefano : exactly . kate : i ... i was just so afraid that you were going to say this . i -- of course , i would do anything that you wanted me to do , you know that . but i 'm just so sad that you -- that you wo n't be there . do you know that -- you know , my darling , i was going to get on the plane and i was gon na surprise you . that 's what i was gon na do , but , uh , i totally understand if you want me to stay here in -- in salem and take care of that proxy for you . stefano : brilliant . now , here is what i need you to do . kate : okay . yes , i understand . i 'll get in touch with the attorneys right away . i 'll sign the appropriate papers . no , i know exactly how that vote needs to go . yes , my love . yes , of course . and as soon as that board meeting is finished , i 'm going to be on a plane , and i 'm going to come to you , my love . ciao . in your dreams . are you feeling better ? sami : [ laughs ] yes . oh , my god , this is working out perfectly . oh , god , i 'm so relieved . [ exhales sharply ] okay , okay . so i have to go get ready for the board meeting . and you have to go sign those papers , right ? i mean , you have to go to a lawyer or something and get it all taken care of , so you go . and , then we 'll meet ... back ... why are standing there ? why are you looking at me like that ? kate : well , i 'll be taking off in a moment . but first , there 's just one little thing . [ both laugh ] rafe : beautiful day , huh ? jordan : it is . rafe : oh , and you have my word that tonight we will set aside some time to talk , okay ? jordan : okay . brady : you know , in a way , it could be like it was in the old days , when we were rebuilding basic black after the pension fiasco ? john : are you saying that you want to work together again as well ? brady : yes , i am . i think we should dive right in ... with a deal between basic black and titan . we can test the waters , regain the trust , see how a small business relationship can , uh , function . eric : theresa , you do n't even know nicole . theresa : true , but i know people like her ... who lie and cheat and make promises and bargains and everything else . but , look , the bottom line is ... people are who they are . they say they want to change , but they do n't . they ca n't . they just ... just take my word on this . ej : well , since everything you do is self - motivated , it would , of course , make sense that this is for your own personal gain . nicole : foreign concept to you , is it ? ej : so why do n't you explain how helping you helps me ? nicole : well , it 's simple , really . i 'm a reporter , and you , my ex , are news . and i would be privileged to tell your side of the story . ej : i see . nicole : i get an exclusive with you . i gain points with my boss and advance my career . and being unselfish for a moment -- for you , you get a little bit of sympathy going your way instead of the rampant social - media hate against you , which is blowing up all over the internet right now . so you get the court of public opinion leaning in your favor , which could help you in a court of law , by the way . and i get a huge scoop that could be amazing for me and my career . so tell me ... do you know who did this to you ? do you know who brought down the mighty ej dimera ? ej : yeah ... i know exactly who did this to me ... and they 're not gon na get away with it . kate : [ clears throat ] sami : what one little thing , kate ? we do n't have time for one little thing . we do n't have time for one humongous thing . we do n't have time for anything else , besides this . this is what we 're doing right now , okay ? all those other things that you have going on have to wait ... kate : [ sighs ] sami : until you go the lawyer 's , get your papers signed , and then you go to that meeting early . you have to win those board members over to our side -- stop smiling at me like that and tell me what is going on . kate : you see , the situation is , we both know what you 're getting out of this , but what am i getting out of it ? sami : seriously ? seriously , you 're doing this to me now ? kate : do n't you think it 's fair that i benefit from our clever little plan as well , no ? sami : you are . you are gon na benefit . of course you -- kate : i 'm going to do what i 'm supposed to do . and then ... you ... are going to do this . sami : i already promised you that i would -- kate : you see , sami , the problem is ... i know you promised me , but the truth is ... i do n't trust you ... not one little bit . | clyde arrived in salem and ran into kate . ej wanted sami to represent him at the board meeting . maggie tried to advise brady about being with theresa , but he refused to listen . theresa eavesdropped on brady and maggie 's conversation and was happy that he wanted to be with her . clyde talked to kate about reuniting with his family . nicole wanted to get info about ej from eric . eric did n't want to help her . he was upset with nicole and did n't think she really wanted to help sami . sami pretended that she did n't want to go to the meeting . ej convinced her to go to the meeting anyway . brady and maggie started arguing about john and theresa until theresa stopped them . clyde wanted to surprise jordan and ben at home so kate gave him jordan 's address . clyde did n't want kate to say anything about him being in town . kate did n't want clyde to tell how she told him jordan and ben were in salem . |

'cause i 'll say it , all right ? nicole : daniel -- daniel : last night -- the other night , i almost lost you . and if there was any doubt in my mind before , it 's gone . i know this is a huge step . and i do n't blame you for being gun shy . i hurt you . nicole : no , daniel , that 's not it , that 's -- daniel : but listen , you do n't have to commit right now . just stay the night , and we 'll take it from there . okay ? what do you say ? nicole : okay . daniel : okay . serena : how do you expect me -- eric : xander 's already been in touch with you today , right ? serena : yes . eric : then you reach out to him again . just reassure him that you 're not gon na tell a soul about what you know he did to nicole and me . just get him to confirm any part of what we told the police , and record it on your cell phone . and we 'll never have to see that guy again . he 'll go to prison . serena : eric ... i am -- i 'm willing to do anything to keep xander from hurting you , but he was here before . he admitted nothing . he does n't trust me . eric : listen . serena : to say anything potentially incriminating -- eric : serena , i want you to push him harder . serena : he is too smart . he wo n't fall for it . eric : you 're right . we 're gon na use plan b . serena : plan b ? eric : yeah , i have another idea to put him behind bars . i 've been the same shade of red for many years . paige : uh , hi , thanks for meeting me . donald : the pleasure 's all mine . daphne : hey , paige . i thought you were meeting your date . is he late ? paige : no , he 's right here . daphne : oh , hi , mister -- paige : donald , just donald . donald : you did n't tell me you 'd be bringing a friend . paige : well , i thought daphne here might like to join in on the fun . donald : mm . eve : the pharmaceutical industry is such a racket . [ scoffs ] it 's a good thing i have all that money from jack 's book . heh . [ phone rings ] eve : hello ? daphne : ms. larson , it 's daphne , paige 's friend . eve : daphne ? is something wrong ? daphne : i 'm afraid paige is about to do something really stupid . please , you need to come down to the square right away . jj : you did n't even read me my rights . and now you 're not letting me have my one phone call ? i know how this is supposed to work ... unfortunately . you 'll never get this to hold up in court . roman : jj , can it . you guys came in the back way , right ? nobody saw us . roman : okay , good . go ahead , uncuff him . jj : do you know how those guys treated me ? roman : cool it , jj . cool it . jj : cool it ? i did n't even do anything . i just had a couple of beers and i fought some guy for , like , five seconds . you 're gon na arrest me for that ? roman : no , i 'm not gon na arrest you . but we 're gon na talk . and what i mean by that is i talk , you listen . victor : that was hope brady . she 's coming over on police business . i want you gone by the time she arrives . first i want you to tell me why you 're a free man . xander : the police had no choice but to let me go . my alibis checked out , as i assured you they would . they had no evidence to hold me on . victor : they have n't given up , you know . xander : no , but eventually they 'll have to . there 's nothing solid to connect me to what happened with nicole and eric . or anything else i 've done . particularly for you , uncle victor . victor : there better not be . xander : once i am fully exonerated , i know you 're a man of your word . there will still be a place for me in your organization ? victor : i 'm well aware of your talents . otherwise you would n't still be alive . now , when or even if i choose to redeem you , it would be up to me . do n't contact me unless you 're summoned . xander : understood . i appreciate your generosity . victor : yeah , just get out . now . xander : yes , sir . maggie : victor , why was that would - be murderer in our home ? eric : we have plenty of crimes to choose from when it comes to nailing xander . if we ca n't get him for attempted murder , then we can always get him for smuggling blood diamonds out of africa . i mean , that ought to be good enough for two decades , right ? just get xander on record without making it suspicious . you said you spoke to him earlier , right ? serena : it 's true , but ... eric : but -- but what ? what ? right . if we turn that voice recording over to the police then you 'd be incriminating yourself because you did n't really mean when you said you 'd do anything for me . serena : damn it , eric ... eric : that you would help me . serena : you do n't get it . do you ? yes , i committed a crime . maybe i deserve to pay for it , but this is not about my freedom . if xander finds out that i double crossed him , do you think that he would hesitate to silence me ? i 'll probably wind up dead . daniel : you are gon na sleep in here , and i am gon na take the guest room . nicole : daniel , no , you do n't have to do that . daniel : i do n't want you to feel uncomfortable or pressured in any way . and after what you 've been through ... nicole : i could n't have gotten through it without you . i owe you my life , daniel . daniel : no , no , no . like i said , if i had n't been so hard on you , you 'd have come to me with your suspicions about xander , and none of this would have happened . daniel : i should have been there for you , and you should know from now on , i always will be . victor : maggie , i did n't expect you so soon . maggie : my meeting was over early . victor : huh . i was n't trying to hide anything from you , maggie . i just thought it would be better if you were n't here when i summoned alexandros . maggie : you summoned him here , why ? how did he even get out of jail ? [ doorbell chimes ] victor : that would be hope . with questions of her own . maggie : hi . hope : hey , maggie . hi , oh , so good to see you , you look gorgeous as ever . maggie : you too , thank you . hope : victor . maggie : i was just asking victor how xander got out of jail . hope : he had an air - tight alibi that put him in chicago . maggie : yeah , but we know that he was -- hope : well , hopefully , victor can tell us everything we need to know about xander . victor : i 'll do my best to help you any way i can . serena : eric , i wan na help you , i really , really do . but you ... you know what he 's capable of . and -- and maybe you do n't care about the risk that you 're asking me to take . maybe -- maybe you hate me so much -- eric : no , no , no , my god , i would never -- serena : that my life means nothing to you . eric : serena , i would never ask you to risk your life . i 'm sorry , it 's just -- it 's just an impulsive idea . you know what , i just did n't think it through . [ sighs ] serena : look ... maybe we could work together ? to help the police nail xander , and maybe if we could just sit down here , i could order some room service -- eric : no , we 're not gon na work together , and i do n't want anything to do with you , please . serena : eric ... eric : listen , i just did n't think this through , i ... i 'm sorry , i should n't have come here . donald : you know , i was kind of surprised when you contacted me . girls like you do n't usually give me the time of day . paige : like i said , i was looking for a very specific type of guy . donald : wow , i hope i 'm living up to your expectation . paige : oh , you definitely are . daphne : do you see what i mean ? eve : my god , that is her date ? i think i 've seen a picture of him in the dictionary next to `` sleaze . `` daphne : i 'm pretty sure he 's older than my grandpa . eve : what was she thinking ? daphne : well , apparently she 's lost her mind . oh , my god , earlier she was hinting at the fact that she wanted to ... i ca n't even say this in front of you . eve : what , daphne ? daphne : a three - way . eve : oh , my god , i wish you had n't said that . daphne : i know , that 's when i decided i needed to call you . eve : oh , i -- thank you . i 'm glad you did because i 'm gon na take care of this . but i 'm going to need you help . roman : jj deveraux , meet dea agent watts . jj : dea ? roman : yeah , agent watts is in salem because there 's been a large increase in drug - related incidents in the last several months . jj : i do n't have anything to do with that . i know you thought i was dealing because of an anonymous tip you got a couple of months ago , but i 'm not . i swear . you have to believe me . watts : actually , we do believe you . commissioner brady and i have been doing a great deal of surveillance and we 're convinced you 're clean . jj : you are ? okay , so then what am i doing here ? nicole : daniel . daniel : yeah . nicole : you were there for me . i was the one who was naive to think that i could take down a murderer on my own . not that i knew he was a murderer in the first place but i -- my point is , if i had n't lied to you -- daniel : you did n't think i would believe you . and i am so sorry i made you feel that way . is that why you 're having second thoughts about moving in ? nicole : no . i do n't blame you . but i gave you plenty of reasons to doubt me . daniel : that 's not true . nicole : including pretending to be interested in xander so i could get information on serena . daniel , i was so scared i might push you away . i was just trying to do something noble . daniel : you were . nicole : but i should have just left it alone . daniel : no , no , no . it turned out okay , though , right ? give me your paw . there . something good came out of this . we learned to trust each other again . and you 'll never feel like you have to keep another secret from me . eric : what was i thinking ? [ knock on door ] marlena : hi . eric : mom ? marlena : hi . eric : hi . marlena : how are you feeling ? eric : i 'm fine . marlena : uh , your father tells me that xander has been released from police custody . that must be very upsetting . eric : trying to let it go . if only he was n't so smug when i confronted him . marlena : you confronted him ? honey , he 's a psychopath , and i do n't use that word lightly . eric : mom . marlena : do n't you think you should stay away from him ? eric : i 'm not afraid of xander cook . marlena : maybe you should be afraid of him . eric : he 's not gon na do anything . not when the salem pd is watching over every move he makes . i bet victor is too . marlena : i 'm so sorry . i mean , not just about xander , but ... i know how much you love serena . eric : i thought i did . i thought she really loved me . should 've realized it was just a lie . xander : oh , hello again . i saw your , uh , boyfriend -- sorry , ex - boyfriend earlier . seemed a bit upset . serena : stay away from eric . xander : i do n't know why you 're getting so protective all of a sudden . he 's clearly through with you . hey , do you remember the last time eric dumped you because he preferred to give his heart to god ? we had the best rebound sex ever . too bad you 've become such a bore since then . serena : i am disgusted that i ever touched you . you ruined my life , and the fact that you 're walking free after what you did -- so wrong . xander : [ chuckles ] please , i did n't ruin anything . you loved being a player . you 're just sorry eric finally saw the real you . anyway , have a nice night . [ laughter ] paige : oh , my gosh . donald : did anyone ever tell you you 're really funny ? paige : uh , no , actually . donald : well , i ca n't imagine why not .

[ exhales ] one , two , three o'clock . four o'clock pop . victor : i mean , i was estranged from my brother . i hardly had any contact with his family except when they needed something . and alexandros was a troubled child , that 's true . but it 's not all that unusual . hope : no , unfortunately not . maggie : there 's a giant leap between shoplifting candy and attempted murder . hope : but that does n't happen overnight . why was xander here tonight ? victor : i asked him to . he insisted that he was innocent , of course . i made it very clear that i did n't believe him , and essentially , i disowned him . he shamed the family and my brother 's memory . hope : by chance , um , did he ask for your help again ? victor : no , he knows that would 've been futile . he committed an idiotic and vile act , and he deserves to be punished . you think the police will be able to come up with enough evidence to arrest him ? eric : serena was using me . marlena : you know , maybe in the beginning that was true . but , honey , i think i saw something . and i am loath to defend her , but i think she does have feelings for you . eric : that 's what serena wants me to believe . but i do n't believe one word out of her mouth . marlena : oh , so there 's no chance for a reconciliation ? eric : none . mom , she wanted me to move to hawaii and leave my family . this just puts the whole thing in perspective . marlena : what ? serena 's betrayal or ... you having a glimpse at your own mortality ? eric : the whole experience . all of it . daniel : i wan na be with you , nicole . i wan na give you everything you need . right now ... it 's rest , so you can get well . nicole : [ giggles ] daniel : i love you . good night . nicole : daniel , wait . you said we could tell each other anything ... so i want you to know that i do n't doubt us , and my whole life , i always hoped a guy like you would love a girl like me . daniel : nicole -- nicole : no , no , i do n't -- i do n't ... i do n't wan na mess this up . i do n't want to lose you . daniel : i do n't want to lose you either . so we wo n't . okay ? donald : you should probably be gone before paige gets back . excuse me while i check out some four - star motels along the way . hmm , maybe we 'll even stay at that fancy trump place when we get there . eve : okay , you listen to me . that 's my little girl , all right ? and i will do anything -- anything to protect her . so you just name it , whatever you want , but -- whatever you want just so you stay away from her . donald : well , hmm . i 'm between jobs at the moment . some extra cash might be nice . eve : how much ? donald : well , maybe 10 grand might tide me over for a bit . eve : $ 10,000 ? daniel : well , your daughter 's worth it , is n't she ? eve : [ stammers ] the banks are n't even open this time of night -- all right , will you take a check then ? donald : no , i wo n't take a check . cash only , babe . eve : what , you think i have cash like that just under my pillow somewhere ? donald : you got it on you right now . eve : what ? donald : that piece will fetch a pretty penny . there 's a pawn shop two blocks down open 24/7 . so what do you say ? 10 gs ... or i leave with your daughter tonight . and who knows if we 'll ever come back ? jj : are you kidding me ? you want me to go undercover ? roman : actually , i do n't like the idea , jj , but it 's not my call . now , agent watts here seems to think you are the perfect candidate . watts : i 've checked out your rap sheet . you got talent , kid . not the kind we like on my end of the business , but you 've had some notable success as a dealer . now if you got back in the game , no one would question it , especially now that you 've been revisiting the party scene . jj : how did -- how did you know ? watts : we 've been following you ever since we saw you with kyle southern . because he already approached you , we believe you 're perfectly positioned to help lead us to the person running this operation . jj : but i 'm not a cop . i do n't have any training . watts : you 'll get it on the job . i 'll be working very personally and closely with you on this . roman : now what you need to understand , jj , we 're not just talking weed here . this is hard - core stuff . there 's a whole lot at stake . jj : so i 'd be like an informant . a narc . watts : we 'd love to send in our own guy , jj , but it would take a long time to establish trust and -- jj : well , you better get started on that now . 'cause there is no way in hell i 'm doing this . ( music plays ) hope : right now we do n't have enough evidence to charge xander , but i 'm hopeful that situation will change . sorry , i ca n't tell you any more than that . [ phone rings ] maggie : oh , excuse me . i have to take this . bye . hope : bye . good to see you . so , victor , i mean , do you have any idea what brought xander to salem in the first place ? i 've heard rumors , but i was hoping maybe you could shed some light on it for me . victor : well , he said he was here on work - related business . nobody was more surprised than i was when he showed up on my doorstep . hope : did you know he befriended eric and serena in africa ? victor : no . but then as i said , i was not in close touch . hope : right . that 's right . well , we 're gon na be looking into his , uh , business contacts and his business dealings . do n't believe they 're entirely above board . victor : well , unfortunately , i 'm not surprised . hope : you do n't know anything about the situation -- anything at all ? victor : sorry . hope : i really hope you 're telling me the truth here . i hope you 're not lying to me , victor . well , thank you for taking the time to talk to me this evening . and , victor , you know i love you .

[ scoffs ] i knew you 'd fall for it . though i have to say , i thought it 'd take at least a couple of days for you to be parted from that much money . eve : honey , i do n't care about the cash . paige : what did he say to you to make you part with this money so fast ? eve : i love you . i did n't even think twice . paige : yeah , what do you think i should do this money ? i do n't want your dirty money . hmm ? oh , i know , maybe i 'll give it to the veterans . i mean , that 's who you stole it from , right ? eve : well , now you sound like jennifer . what , you take her side now , hmm ? paige : oh , i hate you both . but i know how much money means to you , and the idea of it going to a charity of jennifer 's choice , well , i just bet that drives you crazy . eve : you ... you went to all that trouble just to spite me , just to hurt me ? paige : yes . but i hope you know , however much hurt you 're feeling right now does n't begin to compare to what you did to me . eve : paige , i -- hurting -- losing you , sweetheart , hurts more than you could even know , i 'm so sorry . paige : no , no , shut up , okay ? i do n't want to hear it anymore . and for the last time , stay out of my life . maggie : oh . was hope optimistic that she 'll be able to build a case against xander ? victor : i 'm sure she 'll do her best .

[ piano chord resounding ] deimos : as you can see , the rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated . so many rumors flying around town at this time . strange , huh ? seemingly out of nowhere . for example , the wedding we allegedly had ... right before nicole allegedly shoved me into the river to my death . [ chuckles ] now that is interesting , do n't you think ? well , at least you did n't drink all my good champagne . kate : i only took what you promised me . deimos : [ laughs ] how euphemistically put . what ? i do n't even get a `` welcome back from the dead , deimos `` ? kate : no , of course , you do . i was in shock . but i 'm thrilled you 're back . i am just so happy you 're okay . chad : andré . i 'm glad you 're here . andré : are you ? you seem to be having a rather difficult time trying to figure out how you feel about me lately . chad : i know . i 'm sorry . i 've been , um ... i 've been a mess lately , andré . andré : yes , looking ... to blame someone . understandable . well , almost . chad : i was wrong to accuse you . without proof . andré : yes , as i said , understandable . but it 's also difficult . you think you can count on someone , and then they abandon you . i know how much you loved abigail . chad : i do . and i 'm lost without her . andré : oh , you have to get over that . she may never return . you have a child that depends on you . chad : can we sit down ? i 'd like to know more , um , more -- i 'd like to know what she was like when you saw her . when she gave you the letter . andré : well , as i said , she was scared . fragile . or maybe that 's what i brought out of her . but that seemed to fade as we continued to talk . i could see some sort of resolve in her eyes . it 's as if she was discovering her strength . you know what i mean ? chad : i 'd like to ... i 'd like to not believe that . andré : yes , i know that 's difficult . difficult when you 've lost someone , someone that you wanted to be close to . someone that you want to depend on . chad : why do i get the feeling that , uh , you 're not talking about abby ? andré : well , who could i be talking about ? chad : you think i betrayed you . do n't you ? andré : [ laughs ] i feel like the world betrayed me , but then you learn to get over it . but let me ask you something . why did you ask me here ? is this some sort of ruse to seduce me into giving you more information ? perhaps you still believe i know where abigail is ? or even worse , maybe that she 's being hidden somewhere . chad : no . no , i 've given all that up . andré : and how did you come to that conclusion ? chad : you 're not smart enough to trick her . andré : [ laughs ] oh , is n't that splendid ? being insulted and relieved at the same time . chad : i , um ... i want you to help me find her . if you do , i 'll give you anything you want . andré : anything ? chad : name your price . andré : even your brotherly love ? chad : yes . can i count on you ? jennifer : hey , there . ciara : aunt jennifer , hi . jennifer : hi . what 're you doing here all alone ? ciara : uh , i was just checking out classes at salem u for the fall . jennifer : oh , that 's great , that 's exciting . ciara : yeah . how are you holding up ? you must be pretty freaked out about abigail . jennifer : yeah . honey ... i could really use your help . ciara : what can i do ? jennifer : i want you to talk to me about chad . how he 's doing . has he said anything about abigail 's disappearance ? ciara : um , not much . i know that he 's really torn up . and that he 's doing everything he can to find her . jennifer : like what ? ciara : well , he has n't shared many details with me , but i think he hired some private investigator and -- jennifer : i do n't want to waste time here . jj and i really believe that he is hiding something . and i get it . he is afraid that jj is gon na have his sister locked away again once she 's found because of the fire , but trust me -- he is doing the wrong thing . ciara : chad 's not hiding her , aunt jen . he is torn up about this . he 's a mess without her . jennifer : honey , i have seen him , and i have talked to him . and he is defensive and cynical , which makes me believe that he is hiding something . ciara : if he knew where she was and was lying about it , i 'd be able to tell . jennifer : why ? how do you know that ? what makes you say that ? ciara : well , i 've gotten to know him pretty well over the past couple of months . better than you think . and i see how freaked out he is and how he ... jennifer : how what ? ciara : how fragile this has made him . he 's really freaked out , okay ? jennifer : you know what ? i know that , i know he 's freaked out . i know how much he loves my daughter . but i also think he loves her enough to hide her and protect her . and he thinks that he is the only one doing the right thing . ciara : no , that is not true . you 're wrong . jennifer : honey , i 'm not trying to fight with you . i 'm not trying to upset you . please . ciara : look , i get that you 're just as scared as he is , and maybe even more . but everyone is so quick to judge chad and to condemn him because he 's a dimera . you do n't even know the man that he 's become . jennifer : and you do ? just how close have the two of you become since you 've been living there ? andré : i 'm glad that you changed your mind about me , chad . and i 'm also touched that you want me to help you find her . and as i said before , i do have my finger on the pulse in the shadowed world . who knows , maybe they 've seen something , heard something , who knows where she 's gone . [ sighs ] but let me ask you something . chad : what ? andré : are you willing to accept whatever information i may find out , even though it may not be to your liking ? chad : what are you trying to say ? like , something bad could 've happened to her ? andré : well , that 's a possibility , i mean ... she 's out there on her own . you know how this world can be so dangerous . chad : okay , well , i 'd like to not think that , but if somebody hurts her , then i 'll hurt them worse than they could ever imagine . andré : well , i do n't doubt you will . but still , you 've got to be prepared . chad : i 'd like to stay positive . so ... will you just find out whatever you can ? andré : yes , so , you mean that i can have whatever it is i want ? i mean , i like this generous side of you . it 's heartwarming . i mean , talking about aside from that property , correct ? chad : yes . if you bring my wife back to me , you can have everything i have . i swear . andré : you really do love her , do n't you ? chad : yes . i 'd give my life for hers any day . andré : oh , well let 's hope that never comes to fruition . okay . let 's see here . thank you . chad : but , um , andré ... can i trust you ? andré : well ... let 's put it this way . as much as i can trust you , brother . chad : he 's leaving now . follow him . i want to know everywhere he goes and everything he does . stefano : well , if you think that you can trust andré ... then maybe you are the one who is mad . chad : maybe you 're right . maybe i am delusional . i am the one talking to dead people , after all . stefano : but you know that i am just a voice in your head . [ laughs ] the voice of reason . chad : that 'd be a first . stefano : yeah . abigail 's gone and does n't want to come back . and you are playing with fire . chad : she needs me to protect her , dad . if they find her before i do , then they 're gon na send her to a state facility . if they do that , i 'll never be able to live with myself . stefano : so you trust your crazy brother to help you , is that the idea ? chad : absolutely not . i still think that he knows where she is or is hiding her . i 'm just waiting for him to let his guard down . stefano : and maybe he 's simply letting you believe that you 've accomplished that . chad : well , either way , he 'll tip his hand eventually . stefano : how do you know ? chad : i 'm smarter than him . stefano : [ laughs ] you 're certainly more stubborn . chad : yeah , what is that supposed to mean ? stefano : what kind of mother do you think she 'll be if you do get her back and hide her away ? chad : she 's gon na be a fantastic mother . once she feels better . stefano : what if she never gets better ? ciara : i 'm not really sure i know what you 're asking me . jennifer : it just seems like you 're developing feelings for chad since you 've been living in that mansion , and you 're with him all the time . ciara : well , i do n't live in the mansion , i live in the guest house . and i 'm not even around him that much , because i spend most of my time with thomas . jennifer : but you 're speaking like you know him better than anybody . ciara : that 's not what i meant to imply , okay ? i 'm just saying that you should n't suspect him of keeping stuff about abigail from you . jennifer : but are you saying that because you 're trying to protect him ? ciara : no ! and i do n't appreciate how you 're accusing him . jennifer : i am trying to find my daughter ! ciara : so is he ! jennifer : honey , i 'm not trying to fight with you . i am not trying to make you the enemy . ciara : but you see him as one . jennifer : i just want my little girl back home ! ciara : and maybe if you trusted chad a little bit more , you 'd see that that 's all he wants , too . kate : you do n't know how horrified i was . how did you survive ? where have you been ? why did n't you tell us you were still alive ? deimos : i had my reasons . kate : which are ? deimos : none of your business . kate : none of my business ? do you know how devastating it was for me to watch you fall in that river ? deimos : do n't you mean when you pushed me into that river ? kate : surely you must know that was an accident . deimos : i do n't believe in accidents . kate : i may have been impulsive in lashing out , but after all , i had just watched you declare your love for another woman . but ... why would i try to kill you ? what would that have done for me ? deimos : oh , i do n't know , giving you this house . my money . kate : victor 's money . deimos : [ laughs ] that 's funny . i did n't see you giving any of it back to him . and from what i can tell , you 've made yourself quite at home . kate : if you were in my place , you would have done exactly the same thing . deimos : hmm . forged a marriage license , announcing to the world that you and i are married . maybe . kate : definitely ! and i think you should admire me for it . a woman after your own heart . deimos : perhaps at one time . not anymore . kate : i looked for you . everyone looked for you . they sent out divers , they searched the riverbanks -- deimos : oh , that is so touching . kate : i was heartbroken . deimos : heartbroken ? so heartbroken that you dug inside of my coat pocket , took the ring meant for helena that i offered to nicole , and slipped it on your own finger ? kate : this ring should have been mine ! we were going to vegas , remember that ? we were getting married , remember that ? deimos : right ! and that 's one mistake we avoided . which reminds me ... time to get rid of this piece of garbage . kate : no ! do n't . chad : check . hey , everything , uh ... okay ? i thought you left for the night ? ciara : um , yeah . so , um , jennifer thinks that you 're hiding abigail and that you 're lying about it . chad : yeah , i know . let me guess , she thinks you 're in on it , too . ciara : more or less . i told her that you were just as panicked as she was . chad : i bet she bought that . ciara : she just seemed so scared . i felt really bad for her . chad : what , you do n't think i do ? i do n't have time to worry about her . she 's gon na deal with this however the hell she 's gon na deal with it . i need to stay focused on finding abby before she gets hurt . ciara : did you talk to andré ? chad : [ chuckles ] yeah , we 're best buds . ciara : do you think he knows where she is ? chad : i 'm having my doubts . i do n't know , i ... i 'm paranoid . i feel like there 's nobody else i can trust right now . i do n't know , maybe that 's my own fear talking . ciara : hmm . this lack of trust ... does that include me ? chad : no . no , i feel like you 're the only one i can trust right now . ciara : good . count on it . chad : just sometimes , i ... ciara : what ? come on , tell me . chad : sometimes i see my father . he comes to me . it 's like i 'm having a conversation in my head and he shows me another way of doing things . ciara : hmm . i used to do that with my dad . all those years he was missing . man , i used to think that he 'd come up and give me some advice and help me through whatever i was going through . chad : which makes sense , because you loved your father . i hated mine half the time . ciara : i do n't think you completely hated your father . i think maybe you hated what he represented , but he was still your dad . chad : right , for going along with this psychology thing , you 're pretty good at it . ciara : well , you 're not that hard to figure out . chad : [ chuckles ] i guess not . ciara : so what advice did he give you this time ? chad : he told me that abby might never get better . and that i could be putting thomas at risk by trying to find her and bring her home . ciara : do you believe that ? chad : no . i do n't ... i do n't want to , but i do n't know . what do you think ? ciara : you 're probably not gon na want to hear it . chad : that bad , huh ? ciara : yeah . i think abby ran away because she was scared . she was scared that she might not get better for a long time . and that it wo n't be fair to put you and thomas through that . chad : okay , what , so it makes sense for her to be out there on her own with -- with no help or no resources ? ciara : no , no , that 's not what i 'm saying , okay ? i was just saying that ... in a lot of ways , this is a no - win situation . a for when i find abby and bring her home . there 's this doctor that my father used to use . a psychiatrist . he is very good at what he does and he 's willing to break the rules or the laws or whatever he has to do . for the right price , he will do whatever is necessary , no questions asked . so ... so i 'm gon na build a room down in the tunnel . somewhere safe , somewhere that is comfortable , where no one will be able to find abby . i 'll be able to keep her safe . ciara : it kind of sounds like you 're gon na keep her prisoner . chad : no , i 'm gon na be keeping her safe . she 's gon na be able to see thomas whenever she wants ; she will have unlimited use of doctors . it 's not ideal , but it 's the only thing i can -- it 's the only thing i can think of to keep her hidden . ciara : okay . well , you just got to find her . chad : [ scoffs ] ciara : it just -- it kind of seems like she does n't want to be found . i know that you do n't want to hear this , but maybe it was n't just fear that made her run away . chad : okay , so what ? so , what , you 're saying that she -- she ran away from me ? she stopped loving me ? what are you saying ? ciara : i 'm just saying -- okay , if you take away the possibility that andré has her , then there 's really no option . there 's no explanation of why she ran away and why she wrote you that letter . chad : yeah , i know , that 's why none of it makes any sense . ciara : i think she just needs time to think it through . and to pull herself together . she 's ready . you 're already doing everything . you 're watching andré , you have people out there looking for her . there 's nothing else you can do , is there ? chad : no . that 's the worst part of it all . i do n't know what to do . kate : no reason to be hasty . to ruin a good thing . deimos : only you would call a fake marriage a good thing . kate : it does n't have to be a fake thing . we can make it real . deimos : mm - hmm . but there would never be anything real about it . because i do n't love you . kate : you never did . so ... when you look at it that way , nothing would really change . but we could still be the power couple that you talked about . deimos : thanks , but i already have enough power . kate : you can never have enough power . deimos : mm . or money . right ? kate : now , money is the one thing that i 've learned to count on . and i want to swim in it . deimos : [ chuckles ] wow . quite the aspiration . but you 're gon na have to do it the heat of battle , did that get to you ? deimos : that was part of it , yeah . kate : what 's the rest of it ? deimos : it does n't matter . because the answer is no . kate : are you hesitating because of nicole ? the woman who berated you ? the woman who threw your ring back in your face , the ring that you meant for helena ? i mean , i know that nicole looks like your lost love , but she is a poor , poor substitution . how are you ever going to trust her ? how are you ever gon na know whether she 's being sincere or if she 's faking it ? because believe me , she has faked a lot . she 's faked everything . even marrying my son for a ton of money . yeah . you and i both know that the only reason she got involved with you is because of victor 's plan to take you down . so say you manage to persuade her into your bed . are n't you always gon na wonder if it 's really all part of some elaborate con ? she 'll smile at you with those big eyes , she 'll whisper that she loves you . she 'll stab you in the back . with me , you know what you get . there 's no subterfuge . everything 's on the table . in it to win it . to benefit each other , a marriage for both of us . it 's mutual . so what do you say ? are you willing to let nicole shred you ? or do you want to go to vegas as we originally planned and make it legal ? deimos : how soon can you pack ? d that you 've seen reason . you 're not going to regret it . kate : well , you can always lock your door . i assume we 're going to have separate bedrooms . deimos : well , i 'm afraid i 'm gon na have to insist on it . kate : yeah , well , that 's fine . the guest rooms are beautiful here and i 'm sure i 'll come up with a lot of productive things , ways to spend my nights . deimos : planning our world domination , no doubt . kate : we 're gon na be a great team . together , there 's nothing that we ca n't accomplish . deimos : right . and who knows ? life is full of surprises . there may be some nights that i forget to lock my door . kate : i should dig up our suitcases . deimos : let 's do that . the future mrs. kiriakis . jennifer : roman 's been working overtime on the search , and they 've branched out into the tri - states , but i feel like every single day that abigail 's gone , it gives her more time and distance to travel . caroline : darling , do you think that this maniac , ben weston has something to do with this ? jennifer : no . no , jj checked . he is behind bars . caroline : oh . look , abigail , she has been through so much . if i 'd gone through what she 's gone through , i 'd want to disappear . jennifer : caroline , please . caroline : oh , i 'm sorry , that was n't right , i just ... sorry . maybe abigail knows what she 's doing ? jennifer : caroline , i so want to believe that , i do . caroline : i know . there 's nothing in her letter that says to me that she 's confused or irrational . in fact , she had a pretty good plan . and , well , darling , she was n't getting any better in that place . jennifer : no , she was n't , that 's true . but i do n't i just ... i feel like i would give everything i have just to know that she 's okay and that she 's good . caroline : of course you would , yes . but you do n't -- you know , you have to keep your faith . and i know god is watching over her . he is and he will probably lead her back home when she 's ready . jennifer : but what if she never is ? caroline : do n't , do n't say that . come on , let 's pray , and do n't you ever lose faith . hmm ? ciara : come on , you need to get out of here for a while . let 's go for a walk or something just to clear your mind . chad : hey , you think i 'm gon na be any better off out there ? ciara : we can play chess . maybe that 'll take your mind off things . chad : look , i appreciate what you 're trying to do , but it 's -- there 's no point . there 's only one thing i can think about right now , and that 's not gon na change . so why do n't you just go check on thomas and then get some rest . ciara : i 'm not tired . come on , i 'm pretty wired , actually . chad : well , then go for a walk . i 'm sorry , that was harsh . it was n't supposed to be . ciara : it 's okay . i understand . chad : okay . fine , you want to go for a walk ? i could use some fresh air . we can ... well , you want to go get some ice cream ? ciara : yeah . chad : okay , thomas is sleeping , so we can just grab the carrier and go . ciara : okay , cool . i mean , i 'm down if you 're down . chad : yeah , yeah . let 's go . ciara : okay . chad : okay . kate : and that 's the first flight to mccarran ? perfect . yes , okay , thank you . thank you for everything . deimos : and who was that ? kate : that was my assistant . why are n't you dressed ? and where is your suitcase ? we have a 10 : 00 flight . deimos : well , then you better get going . kate : i better get going ? what about you ? deimos : i thought i 'd turn in early for the evening . i 've got a very big day tomorrow . kate : a busy day putting a ring on my finger and saying , `` i do . `` deimos : but i do n't . kate : you do n't what ? what 're you talking about ? deimos : i would n't marry you if my life depended on it . kate : do n't joke with me . deimos : does this look like i 'm joking ? kate : you told me -- deimos : i lied . just like you lied when you told the police that nicole pushed me in the river . kate : so that 's what this is about ? an eye for an eye ? deimos : it was a quick and easy way to get you the hell out of my house . you 're all packed . now all you have to do is walk out the door . kate : do n't be ridiculous . you need me . we need each other , i thought i made that clear . deimos : the only thing i 'm clear about is that you and i are over . i never should have encouraged anything with you in the first place . especially after -- kate : oh , after you saw the reincarnation of helena ? you are such a fool . such a fool if you go after her . deimos : well , i 'd rather be a fool than a man that spends his entire life punishing the world for disappointing him . and i sure as hell would n't spend another second with a woman who thinks nothing about destroying another person 's life to save and benefit her own . kate : [ laughs ] are you kidding me ? are you the pope all of a sudden ? you would cut down an opponent in the blink of an eye if you thought it was to your advantage . deimos : yeah , but you see the difference , kate , is that i choose my opponents wisely . you go after nicole , you go after me . you try that again , and i will shred every little pretty body part of yours all at once . now get the hell out of my house before i get tired of being lenient . kate : you 're not gon na kick me out . deimos : you do n't have a choice , kate ! do n't you get it ? do you really want to test me ? i still have to go to the police and tell them what happened that night on the riverbank . i could simply tell them it was all an accident , or i can just as easily point the finger at you . now , between mine and nicole 's testimony , they should n't have any problem whatsoever sending you away for attempted murder for life . or at least 20 to 30 years . kate : you just made the biggest mistake of your life . deimos : no , the biggest mistake of my life would 've been marrying you ! have a good life . [ door slamming ] ciara : so he 's sound asleep . he 's not even gon na know that we 're taking him for a walk . chad : um ... you know what ? i 'm , uh -- i do n't want to go anymore . i got to be here in case somebody calls . ciara : what ? you 're gon na have your cell . they 'll call you . chad : no . no . ciara : you 're gon na drive yourself crazy waiting for someone to call you . chad : you know what ? i am so sick of hearing that . i 'm so sick of people second - guessing me . and looking for psychological reasons as to why this is happening . there are no reasons . there is no guessing it . nobody knows what is happening . nobody knows what is gon na happen . but i 'll tell you what , i know damn sure that if and when it does ... i 'm not gon na be out eating ice cream like a child . i am gon na be here , in my home , waiting for my wife . ciara : you 're right . i 'm sorry . i was being selfish . chad : look , ciara ... ciara , wait . look , ciara ! [ sighs ] andré : a small charter plane went down in the gulf of mexico over the weekend , claiming the lives of the crew and passengers alike . hmm ... kate : hey , it 's me . i need to see you first thing in the morning . laying out a plan to settle a score . andré : i 'm going to need your help on something , but it 's got to be fool- proof . no one can question its authenticity , understood ? now , i 'm gon na send you an email with all the details , but it 's got to be done as quickly as possible . uh - huh . and , as always , discretion is paramount , understood ? [ chuckles ] that 's excellent . okay , we 'll talk soon . bye . [ sighs ] oh . that young . oh , it 's so tragic . oh . so young . so sad . hmm . [ sighs ] [ classical music on radio increasing in volume ] andré : [ sighs ] chad : you , um , left before i could apologize . ciara : there 's nothing to apologize for . i was asking you to do something stupid and inconsequential and you were n't ready for that . no big deal . chad : no , it , um ... it 's a big deal . you 've been nothing but supportive to me . and how do i repay you ? by blowing up and being an ass . ciara : chad , it 's okay . i 'm serious . chad : good . 'cause i would really hate to scare you off . and lose our friendship . you 're the sanity in that house right now . if i lose you , then this little guy is gon na have a pretty tough go of it . 'cause i do n't think i can handle being alone with him . ciara : you 're not gon na lose me . i 'm not gon na let that happen . i promise . | chad talked to stefano 's ghost . stefano advised chad that abby is n't good for thomas . jennifer and ciara argued about chad . jennifer thought ciara had feelings for chad . ciara denied her feelings for chad . they continued to argue about chad and abby . deimos confronted kate about trying to kill him . she tried to downplay what she did . kate let deimos know that everyone looked for him . kate let deimos know that everyone looked for him . deimos did n't believe her . deimos reminded her about what she did while he was gone . ciara went back to the dimera mansion and talked to chad . she told chad that jennifer thought he had something to do with abby 's disappearance . they also discussed chad 's conversation with stefano . |
philip : ahem . oh , there 's no messages from shawn -- none . look ... for what it 's worth , i think it was pretty nasty what that radio shock jock idiot did to you in the nascar pit . you know , calling in and pretending that he was shawn was ... belle : i was handling it , you know , and i would have been fine if you had n't picked that exact moment to tell me obviously shawn did n't care about me anymore . not like that 's the first time that you 've said that to me . but that was the last straw , philip . i just could n't take it anymore . philip : well , i do n't know what else to say . i 'm going to pack my stuff , and then i 'm outta here . [ scene_break ] crystal : ugh . john : well , now , that was n't very nice , you spitting on me like that . crystal : yeah ? well , sucker - punching me and tying me up and nearly drowning me with a bucket of water was n't very nice , either . so look -- why do n't we just call it a wash , okay ? now let me go . i have n't done anything . john : cut the crap , will you ? i overheard you talking to your buddy earl . i know you stole his gun and his key , so what , did you plant them on my wife ? did you set up marlena to die ? [ scene_break ] jan : i know that look , nicole . i 'm not going to do it . nicole : oh , loosen up . i do n't want you to whack john or crystal . what do you think i am ? jan : uh , gee , i do n't know . how about a lying , conniving , blackmailing murderer ? nicole : not funny . jan : not supposed to be . look , you said i 'm the only one that can do what you need . what do you need ? nicole : i need you to make me look like i 've been victimized by crystal . jan : ooh , that i 'll enjoy . i 'd love to beat you up . we better put some cotton in your mouth first so i do n't knock out any teeth . nicole : are you nuts ? i do n't want you to beat me up i was thinking more along the lines of tying me up and then accusing crystal of doing it . jan : boring . i like my idea better . can i rough you up a little bit ? okay , what the hell ? where 's the rope ? [ scene_break ] bo : pinpoint the source of that signal ? tek : not quite , but it 's definitely coming from hope 's radio . she 's somewhere on the outskirts of the north side of town . bo : if she jammed her radio , it means she could n't get to her phone or pda . tek : i know you 're worried about celeste 's premonition . i know that 's some heavy stuff , all right ? seeing you grieving over hope 's coffin . bo : no way . you 're wrong . you 're making this up . hope is not going to die . celeste : i 'm sorry , bo , but i think the meaning is -- bo : i do n't care what you think . if something happens to hope , patrick is responsible . if she dies , he 's the one who killed her . no , i do n't believe in that psychic crap . but , yeah , if lockhart 's got her , there is a possibility i 've lost her forever . [ scene_break ] hope : this is your last warning . stop what you 're doing , or i swear to god , i 'll shoot . i mean it , patrick . on the count of 3 . patrick : alternator static , check . hope : 1 ... patrick : mags -- check . hope : 2 ... patrick : heading indicator -- 340 . hope : 3 ! patrick : what the hell are you doing ? thank god you 're a lousy shot . hope : actually , i 'm an excellent shot . that was just to show you that i mean business . if you do n't get off this plane right now , the next one wo n't miss . [ scene_break ] jennifer : jack . jack , just think -- patrick lockhart . think . jack : i do n't know who any -- i do n't know who any patrick lockhart is . who is he ? jennifer : you -- you met him , uh , uh ... in -- in chicago . y - you spent the whole -- an entire day with him . jack : aah . damn it . that 's not going to work . look ... jennifer , i do n't remember spending any day with any patrick lockhart in chicago , even when i was pretending to be gay . jennifer : listen , jack , you 're -- you 're just tired , and you 're stressed , and that 's probably why you ca n't remember him . jack : it 's not important . jennifer , we 're going to talk about it at another time -- later . in the meantime , i do have an important question for you . you and abigail did girl scouts together , right ? jennifer : yeah . yeah , why ? jack : what 's the difference between a square knot and a granny ? [ scene_break ] tek : the signal 's getting closer . i should have the exact location soon . bo : damn it . i told hope not to go after that scum bag on her own . why did n't she wait for backup ? tek : 'cause that 's what you would have done , right ? bo : that 's different . she 's my wife . and besides this guy being dangerous , he 's obviously not working on his own . tek : so who do you think took jennifer and why ? bo : i do n't know . i mean , she 's pregnant . she 's a widow with a 13-year - old daughter . she 's not working as a reporter anymore . i have no idea why someone would want to kidnap her . and to make her think her husband 's still alive -- that 's just sick and wrong . somebody arranged for this private plane , so it 's got to be somebody with a lot of money and resources . tek : how does lockhart fit in ? bo : i do n't know . but i can guarantee you one thing -- when i do find him , he will tell me everything he knows . [ scene_break ] jack : by the way ... did i -- tell you how much i missed you ? jennifer : jack , i 've missed you so much , and i have so much to tell you . you -- you ca n't believe everything that 's happened since you 've been gone . jack : i 'll tell you one thing i 've learned since being dead -- death just is n't worth living without you . jennifer : you know what , jack ? you 're our whole life . jack : yeah . well , uh ... i 'll bet abigail 's changed a lot since i 've been gone . jennifer : yeah . she -- she has . she -- she 's grown up so much . she 's -- she 's so mature . but you know , deep in her heart , she 's still your little girl , jack . and you know , she 's been so strong for me , and when i go to bed at night , i hear her crying in her room , and she does n't think i hear her , but i do . jack : well ... does she know that you came looking for me ? jennifer : no , no . she 's at -- at camp , and hopefully we 'll be back before she gets back . gosh , jack , i have missed you so much , i feel like my heart 's going to burst sometimes . jack : well , we 've just got a lot of catching up to do , that 's all . all right . i got some good news . jennifer , i 'm not coming down there to get you . i got a better idea . jennifer : what ? jack : i 'm going to take this loop of this vine and throw it down , and you 're going to wrap it around your waist , and i 'm going to pull you up . here goes . jennifer : okay , okay . i got it ! i got it ! jack : good . just a minute , baby . or , uh , should i say babies ? i 'm going to pull you up , and you 're going to be in my arms , and i 'm never letting you go . i 'm going to -- oh , god . god , please , give me the strength to save jennifer . [ scene_break ] patrick : hope , if you shoot me , you may as well be shooting jennifer . i 'm the only one that can find and save her -- that is , if she 's still alive after being in a plane crash . hope : that 's what you keep saying , patrick . what makes you think you can do more than the police ? patrick : because i have more information than they do . hope : oh , right . information that you refuse to share , because you were part of the plot in kidnapping jennifer . patrick : damn it , hope , no . for the last time , i had nothing to do with this . hope : okay , fine . patrick : i did everything i could to -- hope : show me some proof , patrick . come on . show me some proof . that 's my pda that you took from me before . you found information about jennifer on it . what was it ? patrick : here , access your e - mail . hope : oh , my god . i do n't believe it . patrick : what you 've got there is virtually a map that can lead you straight to jennifer . [ scene_break ] philip : look , i 've just got a couple more things to shove in here , and then i 'll shove ... off . i gave a forwarding address to mimi , okay ? so you do n't have to deal with me at all . belle : philip , you do n't have to do that . philip : look , i 'm well aware that certain people -- namely , rex -- have been saying that i 'm just biding my time so i can make some sort of move on you , but they 're wrong . i thought we were always going to be best friends . if you do n't believe that that 's what i 've been to you ... you know , i 've just got to get out of here . forget it . belle : philip , wait . i came to find you because what i really wanted to say to you is i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] nicole : okay . first i want you to tie me to the chair , and then tie my hands and legs together , okay ? it 's got to look like i could n't have done this myself . it 's the only way john and brady will believe i 'm innocent , okay ? ow . hey . jan : you do n't think i should give you a fat lip or something ? nicole : do n't even think about it . ow . you 're pinching me , jan . jan : do n't be such a baby . i did n't complain this much when you were sewing my arm back up after marlena stabbed me in shawn 's bed . [ dreamily ] shawn . nicole : hey , hey , yo . earth to jan. look , the faster you get this finished , the faster you can get back to shawn . jan : hey , now you 're talking . what if by some weird chance , crystal 's already talking to john ? which would mean that she has an alibi , which would make all of this look pretty stupid . nicole : yeah , well , hopefully , john has n't gotten anywhere near her , and hopefully , she 'll be long gone before he gets a chance to . [ scene_break ] crystal : i do n't know what the hell you 're talking about . i had nothing to do with marlena 's death . john : you 're a liar . crystal : prove it . john : i will prove it . i 'll get the truth , and i can do it one of two ways -- the easy way or the hard way . it 's your choice , baby . crystal : you think you scare me ? do your worst . but first , before you do , let me tell you something -- i learned in prison if you know something and somebody wants that information , they 're going to get it . so you might as well save yourself the beating and just tell them . but no matter how hard somebody beats you , you ca n't tell them something that you do n't know . and i do n't know nothing about your precious marlena 's death except what i told you before -- that she blames you for betraying her , and she was sneaking out of prison to come and get you . john : shut up , will you ? it 's nothing but lies . that 's all you do is you lie . crystal : face it , john -- the woman that you loved was a killer , and she 's dead , and she brought it on herself , and there is no way that i am going to sit here and let you pin what happened to her on me . john : let me tell you something . i know you do n't want to talk . you know why ? because the second you admit any guilt in marlena 's death , you 're going right back in the slam for life , or worse , you 're going to go there for death . do you understand me ? but you want to know something , crystal girl ? it does n't have to be that way . crystal : ha . and now , ladies and gentlemen , it 's time for `` let 's make a deal . `` john : that 's a fact . you come clean right now and you tell me what you know about my wife 's death , and yeah -- yeah , i can make you a little deal .

[ scene_break ] stephanie : i 'm not trying to defend your dad , but you have to admit , you do n't know the whole story . maybe until you do , you should n't give in to so much hatred . max : i 'm sorry , but i have good reason to . how could he throw me away like that twice ? thank god i was taken in by the greatest family on earth , but robbins had nothing to do with that . stephanie : max , i know it hurts . max : no , you do n't know the half of it . though god knows i am so glad that i was n't raised as his son . i was n't a baby when he gave up on me , you know . i still remember some of the things about my mother when she was alive . i remember her crying . it 's a little fuzzy , but i remember enough of the tears and the sadness and her hatred . she hated him for good reason . and then she died . and i was alone , and he could have taken me in . he could have taken me back , but he did n't . he threw me back into the system and he walked away . now , how could he do that to me ? stephanie : you do n't know why and that 's my point . max : he is a well - educated man who makes a good living . how dare he give up on his own son . he 's a user , and he abandoned me . and he abandoned me because he was too selfish to take care of me . stephanie : i 'm sorry . max : all the memories that i have of living with my mother were about being scared for her . and then they were both gone . do you know how many nights i laid awake wondering where he was , wondering what i had done wrong for him to leave me , wondering if i was being punished for being bad ? stephanie : i 'm sorry . max : oh , no . it gets worse . even after the brady 's had rescued me , i obsessed about my real family for years , wondering if there were other long - lost brothers and sisters out there , wondering if he had kept them and not me . stephanie : look , i know trent hurt you , and it was wrong , but focus on the fact that you were adopted into an amazing family . you 're way better off without your dad . max : and i 'm not arguing with you about that . but do n't you see that this phone call has brought up all these old feelings to the surface ? this girl ... stephanie : your sister . max : i do n't want to get all excited about finding her . i mean , you heard her . you heard how fond she is of her father , which does n't make any sense . how can she still love the same man who used me and who threw my mother and me away ? it does n't make any sense to me . unless it was because of me .

[ knocking at door ] kayla : hi . abe : hi , hi . i 'm so sorry to interrupt . uh , i just wanted to check and see how rafe 's doing . kayla : well , i was just about to fill kate and gabi in on what to expect when he wakes up . abe : oh . it 's okay if i stay ? kayla : if it 's all right with gabi . gabi : of course . yes , of course you can stay . kayla : well , i just want you guys to be prepared for the fact that , when he wakes up , he may not know where he is or how he got here . kate : will there be memory loss ? kayla : well , it 's a possibility , but in most cases , the patient 's memory is intact . what he 'll have more problem with is the difficulty in reorienting himself to time and place . gabi : what does that mean ? kayla : it 's just that he may not be able to differentiate between what 's happening in the present time to what his mind was telling him when he was in the coma . that confusion could go on for a few days , or , in some cases , a few weeks . gabi : okay , um , is there anything that we can do to help him with that ? kayla : you 're already doing it , gabi , by just being here . when he gets faced with those challenges , just to be around the people he loves will help him a lot . ej : were you planning on going to the hospital to be there when he comes around ? sami : no . why would you ask that ? ej : well , i mean , he was bringing johnny an fbi jacket when he was attacked , so i would imagine that when he comes around and finds out what happened to him , he 's going to want to thank you for saving his life . sami : who are you , and what have you done with my fiancé ? ej : it 's -- it 's important to me that you understand that i 'm not threatened or bothered by the fact that , on some level , i recognize you do still care about him . sami : does this mean we 've actually grown up ? ej : god , i hope not . sami : [ laughs ] all right . well , i had n't planned on it , but maybe i will stop by the hospital on my way to see eric . ej : you should . take your time . sami : wow , you are just racking up the points this morning . why , mr. dimera , i might actually marry you after all . ej : you should . sami : [ laughs ] thank you for these . ej : justin , what the hell is going on ? justin : mr. shin in hong kong is holding us up again , and the board meeting of the london subsidiary has been pushed back . ej : this has to happen today . you understand ? or it 's all gon na come crashing down on our heads . get over here now ! justin : just take it easy , ej . the worst thing we can do is panic . ej : i am not panicking . and do n't you start gloating . i 've got a few more moves left up my sleeve , believe me . [ knocking at door ] kayla : oh , hi , hi . come on in . abe : thought i 'd drop in ... you know , and give gabi a few minutes with her brother , just , um , the two of them . kayla : kate 's still sitting there , no ? abe : she 's making some calls . kayla : oh . abe : so , uh , you do n't have an idea when rafe might regain consciousness ? kayla : no , but we 're hoping within the hour . abe : you 're telling gabi that there could be memory loss . kayla : yes , but i also told her that it 's possible that his memory will be intact when he wakes up . abe : but if it 's not ? kayla : well , he could have lost the last six months , or maybe even the year . abe : right . kayla : you know , i keep thinking about kate . you know , if he does n't remember the last six months , he is gon na be so surprised to see her sitting there when he wakes up . abe : and if he does n't remember the last year or so ... kayla : he 's gon na think he 's still married to sami . but you know what ? no matter what he remembers or , you know , what he 's thinking , i mean , we 're not gon na know until he wakes up . ej : mr. shin , i was under the impression you and i had come to a very clear understanding as to the new direction of dimera enterprises and your role within that company . well , i appreciate and i applaud your support for my father . however , if we look at some of his recent business decisions , i think that we can both agree he 's not quite the man he used to be . very well . i 'll call you back in half an hour . just something to think about , mr. shin -- if there is one thing i did learn from my father it is that you make an example of people who break their promises . justin : that was a little heavy - handed , do n't you think ? ej : that 's the truth . and speaking of promises , you promised me all my ducks would be in a row . justin : i think you underestimated your father 's ability to balance business with whatever sadistic pleasure he might be pursuing at the time . [ cell phone ringing ] justin : mr. benedict . thank you very much for calling me back . yes , i have ej right here . benedict . london subsidiary . ej : reggie , good to talk to you . how are you ? listen , i just wanted a quick word with you . let 's talk about , uh , your new role within the new regime , eh ? jennifer : okay . well , i guess there 's nothing to say . daniel : jenn . jennifer : what ? daniel : i think i just proved that i 'm right . when we do n't talk -- when we do n't talk like we used to , i get frustrated , and i just say things that hurt you . jennifer : i know , but i know you do n't mean them . and i know that you 're frustrated , and i know that i 'm asking a lot . i just need a little time to focus on jj . daniel : and make sure nothing upsets him . because he 's made it very clear our relationship upsets him . jennifer : right , but when he came back , you told me that you understood that . daniel : i do understand that . but that does n't mean he gets to call all the shots . i understand you 're afraid . i do . you think he 's gon na walk in on us and see something that 's gon na push him over the edge . but he wants you to feel that guilt , to feel the way -- he does . jennifer : daniel , he is so lost , and he knows that you do n't like him . daniel : i 'm not -- jennifer , he is terrorizing you . he is making you give up someone you love in return for maybe , possibly acting responsibly ? jennifer : no . daniel : that is no way for a young man to learn how things work in this world . jennifer : okay , okay , all right . just come back to me when parker 's a teenager , okay ? do you think i do n't know this ? do you think i do n't know that i am being manipulated ? but this is my son , and he is so lost , and i am scared to death for him . i have to do everything that i can to -- to fight my way back into his life . do you understand that ? daniel : and that 's what gets me . the way you fight for your kids , i love that about you . i do . so i have to keep my distance from you , and i 'm begging you to do the same for me . please , 'cause it 's only fair . because you can not bury your true feelings with this idle chitchat . i ca n't -- jennifer : i get it . you 're right . daniel : okay . jennifer : i 'm just asking you if we can just take a little break for now . daniel : so that jj can see how much power he has over you . jennifer : no , so he can see that i - i value his feelings , daniel , that i 'm -- 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 am -- daniel : seriously ? breaking up with me is not gon na fix your son . [ cell phone ringing ] jennifer : jennifer horton . yes , i 'm jj 's mother . he what ? jj : see , the problem that we 're facing is that i only deal with friends . and , uh , i do n't even know your name . theresa : theresa . jj : theresa . hmm . it 's just one name ? oh , like beyonce . well , hey , it 's , uh -- it 's a start . eventually , you know , i want to know all about you . theresa : yeah , well , we 're gon na have to take that journey later . i have this thing i have to get to . jj : well , maybe i could help you with that thing . theresa : [ chuckles ] jj : hey , how about a phone number , um , a facebook page ? do you have -- how do i find you ? theresa : if i need you , i 'll find you . [ cell phone ringing ] jj : hello ? jennifer : where are you ? jj : uh , i 'm actually on my way to study hall , but , uh , i 'm running a little late . jennifer : stop lying , and get your butt down to my office now . abe : gabi , um , look , i want you to know , everyone on the force is pulling for rafe . they 're willing to do whatever it takes to help him recover . gabi : thank you . that really means a lot . can i ask you something ? abe : mm , sure . gabi : i know that the grand jury believes that sami was trying to protect rafe . abe : mm - hmm . gabi : but do they have any idea why that detective was trying to hurt him ? i mean , i heard that they were friends . he even bought a baby gift from the store where i registered . abe : i -- i have no idea about bernardi 's motivations . and i hope that when rafe wakes up and he 's had some time to heal , that he 'll be able to help clear things up . gabi : i hope you 're right . abe : how 's the baby ? gabi : oh , she 's great . um , will has her today . uh , this picture is actually from this morning . abe : oh . oh , she 's beautiful . gabi : i take one every morning , and replace the one in the frame with it . you know , i just -- i want him to see her as she is when he opens his eyes . i - i save all the other ones , and -- i just -- i really -- i do n't want my brother to feel like he 's missed a moment . sami : oh , kate . rafe awake ? kate : no . i 'm sure he knows better than to come out of his month - long coma until it suits your schedule . sami : [ laughs ] you know , ej and i have this new product that is going to be absolutely fantastic for you . you should try it . it 's never too late . kate : where are you going ? sami : to see rafe . kate : the hell you are . john , it 's over . kayla : well , i appreciate it . listen , the whole family appreciates it . jennifer : oh , no . i 'm happy to help . i 'm sure it 'll be fine .

[ grunts ] jj : okay , mom , i get that you 're upset , but , uh , i do n't think you should swear at me . jennifer : mm , no , i did n't swear at you . i asked you to get your butt down here . but i do n't really think that you get anything . and i do n't want to hear another one of your explanations , and i do n't want to hear your analysis of my flaws . this time , i 'm gon na be the one talking , and you 're gon na listen . ej : no , of course , reggie . i think this is going to work out splendidly for both of us . supercilious twit . justin : you just promised that supercilious twit an even bigger slice of the pie , you know . ej : what the lord giveth , the lord can taketh away . now let 's think about this , shall we ? that 's london . so we 're just waiting for shin in hong kong , right ? justin : mm - hmm . wait a minute . i think we 've just found something that might help us sway mr. shin . ej : it 's a bit of a hail mary . justin : yeah . but you throw the hail mary pass whenever you ai n't got nothing else . ej : justin , if this does n't work , my father is going to know exactly what i tried to do , and who helped me . justin : i 'll pray . you dial . stefano : i understand that justin kiriakis is involved . uh - huh . now you are reassuring me that the problem with my son now is taken care of . excellent . uh - huh . excellent . no , no , no , no , no , no . look , he 's gon na find out soon enough , all right ? i think it 's time that we keep elvis in the dark for a little while longer . [ chuckles ] sami : ow . what is your problem , kate ? kate : the last thing that rafe needs when he wakes up is to see you there wanting an `` attaboy `` for discharging your firearm over his comatose body . sami : [ sighs ] one , you gave me that weapon , and two , i shot the man who was going to kill him . kate : oh , that 's really great . why do n't you just give yourself a medal , sami ? but kayla said rafe needs to be surrounded by people who love him , not self- aggrandizing narcissists like you . sami : oh , now you 're projecting , huh ? kate : no matter what you tell yourself , you left rafe for ej . rafe does n't know that you saved his life . all he knows is that you broke his heart . sami : you do n't get to tell me how i feel about rafe . he 's my ex - husband . he was practically a father to my children . kate : mm - hmm . you see , all of that 's in the past tense because of your doing . sami : okay , you know what i 'm hoping right now ? rafe has a little bit of memory loss , so he does n't have to subject himself to remembering his time -- i do n't even want to think about it . kate : this is n't about me . and this is n't about you and your petty jealousies . do n't you see ? it 's about rafe . rafe . but of course , you are you , and nothing i or anyone else says is ever gon na change you , is it ? sami : you got that right . kate : yeah . so why do n't you just barge on in into that room and make yourself the center of attention ? 'cause i 'm not gon na stop you . sami : you got that right , too . kate : daniel , i need to talk to you about rafe . everything 's fine . there 's nothing to worry about . gabi : thank you . hey , sami . sami ? sami : um , sorry . i was just wondering whether or not it 's okay for me to , you know , be here . gabi : of course . of course it 's okay . i mean , my brother would n't even be here if it were n't for you . daniel : well , the trauma to rafe 's body was substantial . and even though we did everything we could to help heal those wounds while he was in a coma , rafe 's total immobility will demand a lot of physical therapy . kate : will he be able to walk ? daniel : you know , i wo n't know that until he wakes up . but it 's unlikely he 'll even be able to stand . he is going to be like a baby . i mean , learning all of those motor skills all over again . but he 's not even gon na get to that part until , you know , we know for sure that he has mentally adjusted to coming out of the coma . kate : oh . daniel : okay ? kate : uh , that 's just it . that worries me . he 's gon na be so frustrated . you know , for a guy who would do anything to help anyone , he just hates needing help . daniel : mm - hmm . well , you know him pretty well then . kate : that 's not difficult . he 's a completely open book , a refreshing change from the other men in my life . daniel : huh . okay . well , whatever happens between you and rafe is really none of my business . kate : really ? nevertheless , it is inappropriate , right ? daniel : okay , you know what ? i 'm just -- i 'm gon na say that i 'm glad that my friend rafe has so many strong , stubborn women in his corner to just help him through . kate : well , that 's a right nice thing to say , doc . daniel : mm - hmm . doctor , uh , i think detective hernandez is starting to wake up . daniel : oh , okay . thank you very much . gabi : kayla said that he 's probably gon na be confused at first . sami : well , it 'll be our job to set him straight then . what else is new , right ? abe : wait , look . the chill of peppermint . jennifer : okay , so how long have you been back , and how many times now have you screwed up ? jj : mom -- jennifer : no , i do n't want to hear it . really , i do n't , 'cause i 'm gon na talk and you 're gon na listen to me . okay , because i set a punishment for your shoplifting . i - i grounded you . i took away all of your screens . but apparently , that is n't enough . and since you chose to leave school grounds during your lunch hour and not return in time for study hall , now i 'm taking away all of your lunch money . jj : so , what , you 're gon na let me starve ? jennifer : no . there 's gon na be food in the fridge , and there 's gon na be brown bags in the drawer , so you get up 15 minutes earlier , before you need to leave for school , and you make your lunch . or you starve . i 'm gon na leave that completely up to you , okay ? jj : mom , almost nobody brings a lunch . jennifer : almost nobody shoplifts . i am telling you right now , mister , you are walking the straight and narrow . do you hear me ? no more partying . no more hanging out . no more bringing inappropriately aged women into our home . in fact , to make it easy for you , no one is allowed in our home at this point . so rule of thumb , if it sounds fun to you , do n't do it . jj : you really have it in for me , do n't you ? jennifer : and finally , i need you to tell me that you understand . jj : very loud and very clear . jennifer : great . enjoy detention . god , jack . what has happened to our son ? ej : well , mr. shin , if that is how you feel ... there was just one more thing . it came to my attention that your -- your son is applying to attend a rather prestigious ivy league law school . well , i have rather close ties to the school . several friends and colleagues are on the advisory board . i mean , if you 'd like , uh , i could make a telephone call . of course . i would be only too happy to help . well , of course , we want to put our children first at all times , do n't we ? well , you 'll be hearing from the dean shortly . i 'll look forward to seeing you and your son the next time i 'm in hong kong . justin : nicely done . ej : sort of ironic , is n't it ? that the fate of stefano dimera , a man who would not lift a finger to help his son , is sealed by a man who would do anything for his . justin : let 's just hope all your bribes and cajoling hold until at least the vote occurs . if your father is able to get to even one single board member and turn him -- ej : well , i do n't think there 's any point in speculating at the moment . this vote 's gon na happen in the next five minutes . the axe is going to fall , justin . we just have to hope it 's on his neck , not ours . sir , we 're beginning our descent into salem . stefano : [ laughs ] i wonder , why do i have the feeling that my son is not gon na be happy to see me ? [ chuckles ] sami : i just realized , the last time i saw rafe , i , um , killed someone . gabi : he 's moving , but he 's not opening his eyes . is -- is he having another dream ? daniel : i ca n't answer that . but i can tell you that everything seems to be going smoothly . yeah . gabi : [ gasps ] [ monitors beeping rapidly ] gabi : wait , wait , what 's happening ? is something wrong ? break a leg ! jj : i forgot my backpack . you want to yell at me for that , too ? theresa : why , would you like me to ? jj : um , what are you doing in my mom 's office ? theresa : [ laughs ] [ cell phones ringing ] ej : yes ? justin : kiriakis . ej : what ?

[ both chuckle ] hope : thanks . rafe : yeah . yeah . paul : i did n't badmouth you to sonny . i just made clear my feelings about him . will : saying that i was n't ready for marriage was n't badmouthing me ? paul : i did n't say that . i just pointed out that you and i , we 're sort of in the same boat . i mean , clinging to sonny to avoid dealing with how hard it is to come out . it was the safe thing to do , and , will , you 're right . i mean , i just came out of the closet . and that makes me see that i am not in any shape for a relationship . will : except for with sonny . right , you could be in shape for that . paul : [ sighs ] this is n't getting us anywhere . will : and we 're not in the same boat . you were never open about your relationship with sonny , paul . i was . sonny never had to hide in the closet for my sake . and you 've never been in a committed relationship either . i have a daughter . arianna and i , we need sonny . we 're a family . do n't you get that ? paul : that 's the way things are supposed to work out . will : it is , and you 're not going to ruin it . you know , i thought i could come here and talk some sense into you , but you 've clearly made your mind up already . derrick : oh , am i early ? ben : here are those papers . clyde : thanks . you know , every time i come over here , the place looks more like a home . abigail 's got taste . ben : yeah , she does . she got that right there with that gift card you gave us . clyde : i know . she put a picture of it in her thank - you note . girl 's got taste and class . ben : yeah . clyde : so things are still good between the two of you ? ben : yeah , we 're okay . we 're going to some big picnic today . clyde : do n't sound real happy about that . how come ? ben : two words -- chad dimera . zoe : the summer picnic with your nephew . chad : you do n't want to go ? zoe : i did n't say that . just , uh , after the other night , i was expecting something a little more intimate . chad : oh , yeah , the , uh -- the kissing thing . zoe : yeah , the kissing thing . yeah . did n't exactly make me think about hot dogs or hamburgers . chad : well , whatever it did make you think about , hold that thought because today you get to see a different side of me . zoe : mmm . chad : and i get to see you in a bikini . zoe : uh , actually , you do n't , because i am dressed for a board meeting , not a picnic . chad : aha , not a problem because we are going to stop by the square and pick you up something on moi . zoe : oh , you buried your lede , mr. dimera . chad : hmm ? zoe : if you had mentioned a shopping spree on you at the start , i would have said yes a long time ago . chad : [ laughs ] okay . zoe : you see , i always thought that diamond necklaces go really well with bathing suits , do n't you ? chad : [ chuckles ] sonny : seems like a lot of food for just you and ben . abigail : um , it 's not just me and ben . it 's me and ben and theo and chad . sonny : what ? the four of you ? together ? abigail : theo insisted . yeah , he loves ben and chad . sonny : well , does he know that ben and chad do n't exactly get along ? abigail : i 'm sure they can put aside their differences for a couple of hours . sonny : okay . but i think it 's a good idea that you do n't tell chad that you moved in with ben . abigail : no , he already knows about it . sonny : really ? i guess he took it better than i thought he would . abigail : look . i know how he feels about ben , okay ? but they can move past everything for one afternoon . sonny : abigail , the problem is n't how chad feels about ben . it 's how he feels about you . kate : what the hell are you doing in my office ? justin : my job . i guess you forgot i have a big meeting in chicago . i think it 's a good idea to have facts and figures for my presentation to the titan board . kate : all you had to do was ask . justin : hard to do when you 're not here . kate : okay . next time , call me , text me . now you tell me exactly what you need and then get away from my desk . derrick : you want me to just meet you at the courts or the picnic ? will : no . no . it 's okay . i 'm just on my way out . you two have fun . catch you later . you may not be ready for a relationship , but you sure have a hot- looking tennis partner . derrick : is everything okay ? paul : sure . why would n't it be ? i mean , unless you 're aware that you 're about to get totally annihilated on the tennis courts and you 're looking for a way to back out . derrick : okay , see , now , if you were going to pitch this to me , i 'd be scared , but i saw you bat at wrigley . paul : yeah ? derrick : and in tennis , you actually have to hit the ball . [ both laugh ] paul : i am going to enjoy wiping the courts with you . derrick : i do n't know , there 's going to be a lot of good - looking guys out there . i feel like wiping the courts with you is going to turn some heads . paul : man , you know , you are so in for a rude awakening . derrick : uh - huh , mm - hmm . we 'll see . after you . victor : let me assure you , i did n't just sit back and let weston take over my territory . when he started pushing , i pushed back . hard . but -- and i seldom admit to a mistake -- stefano : seldom ? [ chuckles ] never . victor : well , this time i made the grave error of underestimating his resources and his instinct for survival . stefano : really ? victor : really . and that miscalculation cost me big - time . abigail : you know what , sonny ? chad made it very clear how he feels about me , so i 'm sure my moving in with ben really does n't matter to him at all . sonny : and because men never hide what they 're really feeling , especially dimera men . abigail : what are you trying to say ? sonny : really ? you do n't know ? abigail : chad hates me . he thinks that i am the worst of the worst . what could he be hiding ? sonny : that he wants another chance with you . abigail : [ scoffs ] sonny , you 're delusional . he ca n't even stand to be in the same room as me . the only reason that he 's going is for theo 's sake . sonny : right . abigail : and not only does he not want another chance with me , he knows how i feel about ben , so you know what , really , there is no point in having this conversation at all , okay ? sonny : abigail , he 's my best friend . i know him . i can tell he still cares about you . i got to get back to work . have fun at the picnic . abigail : huh . chad : so i talked to the manager . you can buy whatever you want , and he 'll just charge my account . zoe : they would n't happen to sell sports cars here , would they ? chad : i do n't think so . zoe : hmm . hey , wait , wait , wait . you 're not going with me ? chad : well , one , i like to be surprised . two , i have to make a phone call . i 'll meet you over there , all right ? just take your time . zoe : oh , believe me , i will . [ tense music ] chad : it 's okay . uh - huh . just tell mr. shin to give me a call after his meeting . justin : wow . i really love the professional attitude around here . `` stay away from my desk ! do n't touch my crayons either ! `` kate : what you were looking for . justin : ah . kate : want me to tell you where you can put it ? justin : you want to tell me what time i can expect you to show up to work tomorrow ? just in case , you know , you were hoping to do some work ? kate : if you 're suggesting that i punch a time clock , i 'm going to punch you ... right -- justin : i 'm waiting . do you want to finish that sentence ? kate : [ sighs ] why do you have to be such a jerk ? justin : i 'm just trying to keep it professional . kate : professional ? we both know the only reason you took this job was to get back at lucas for sleeping with your wife . justin : yes . well , she wo n't be my wife much longer . i filed for divorce . sonny : hey , ari ! you 're all dolled up . where are you two going ? will : we 're going to the summer picnic , and you 're coming with us . hope : okay , let 's go . ready ? wait a second .

ciara : ejecting people 's even more fun than calling them out . those are some kids from my class . can i go hang out with them ? hope : sure , sweetheart . just stay where i can see you , okay ? here . want me to take that too ? ciara : yeah . hope : okay . rafe : see ya . hope : [ laughs ] do you ever get she likes being in control ? rafe : yeah , still trying to figure out where she got that from . hope : very funny . rafe : so is john enjoying being back on the force ? hope : well , you know , he keeps saying he prefers being out in the field instead of sitting at his desk at basic black all day . rafe : yeah . hope : what about you ? you still like working at victor 's club ? rafe : it 's a job . hope : i know you hate not being a cop . rafe : go with the flow , right ? hope : come on , i 'm not buying that que será , será act . i see how you light up every time we talk about an old case , or any case for that matter . rafe : yeah , well ... hope : being a cop 's in your blood . rafe : mm . hope : i know . i 'm the same way . rafe : not much i can do about it , so ... hope : but you know what , selfishly , i have to say i 'm really glad that victor gave you a job . it 's still good to have you around to talk to , ask questions and , you know , get your opinion on some things . rafe : well , thanks . hope : i ca n't imagine working for victor being boring or dull , routine by any means . rafe : yeah , well ... i got to tell you , when i first started , i thought , you know , this could be something . hope : mmm . rafe : but ... hope : but ? i hear a big , silent `` but . `` rafe : well , i just , uh -- something changed . he changed . stefano : so weston struck back , and you just surrendered ? i mean , what does that man have on you ? victor : well , he does have something on me . but my main concern is making sure that my family is safe . that should be your concern too , making sure what little family you have left is protected from him . stefano : he would n't dare . victor : oh , he would . he does n't play by the same rules you and i do , stefano . stefano : oh . victor : a man like weston , his word means nothing . stefano : then he needs to be dealt with , you understand ? permanently . victor : i already tried that . stefano : you put out a hit ? victor : as i said , it cost me . stefano : your nephew , sonny . clyde was behind the attack . victor : and i have to make sure that there 's not another one . clyde : you got to be kidding me . you go to a picnic with chad dimera ? ben : all right , relax . it 's not a date . there 's going to be a lot of other people there . clyde : yeah , but why would she even ask you ? i mean , now that you know that she cheated on you with him , abigail wants the three of you to be friends ? ben : all right , well , would you back off ? abigail and chad 's nephew are really close , and the kid 's great . i love him , but ... clyde : but what ? ben : he 's special . he has autism . he does n't completely understand all things , and he gets upset over some things . and he loves chad , and apparently he thinks i 'm totally cool , so he just -- he wants everybody to be friends . clyde : oh . that what he wants ? or is that what chad told him to say ? chad : through the woods to grandmother 's house ? abigail : well , it looks like i bumped into a wolf . chad : or you followed him . abigail : i just wanted to ask you about theo . are you picking him up ? chad : uh , no , abe is . we 're going to meet them up at the lake . where 's ben ? is n't he coming ? abigail : uh , he 's going to meet us there . he had something that he needed to do with his dad , so , uh ... yeah . i 'll see you there , i guess . chad : mm - hmm . abigail : by the way , i was just talking to sonny , and , you know , he said something that i wanted to ask you about . it 's just , he said that , i mean -- zoe : so , chad , what do you think ? chad : mm - hmm . you would n't do half of your daily routine . kate : you 're getting a divorce ? justin : you seem surprised . kate : well , i am . justin : why ? i did sleep with someone else , and adrienne is sleeping with lucas . kate : yeah , but it 's salem . you know , that 's grounds for an embarrassing public shouting match , not for divorce . justin : kate , she 's obviously moved on . kate : no , she 's getting you back . you had it coming to you . do n't overreact . justin : i 'm not overreacting . i know you hate seeing adrienne with your precious lucas , but the truth is , our marriage is over . kate : [ sighs ] sorry . i 'm sorry . it just seems like you and adrienne are supposed to be together , and i should n't have been flip about it . justin : okay . i would n't have bought it if you tried to be nice . kate : [ chuckles ] justin : and i was being a jerk . kate : well , there . finally , something we agree on . justin : oh , can i ask you to not let anyone know ? i do n't know if adrienne 's told sonny and the other boys yet , so ... kate : no . promise . justin : i 'm going to talk to them after this meeting in chicago . really looking forward to that . kate : justin , i am sorry . justin : thanks . thanks for the info . sonny : i told you , i need to work . everyone 's going to the picnic today . will : i checked with t. he 's happy to cover . come on , we have n't missed the picnic since she was born . it 's a family tradition . sonny : it 's just -- will : it 's just what ? sonny : i 'm just worried you 're trying to ignore what we talked about last night . will : oh , sonny , i 'm not trying to ignore anything . i know we have a lot to work through . i 've set up an appointment with a therapist . the one that my grandmother recommended , the one that i 'm going to see by myself . but in the meantime , our lives ca n't just stop , right ? her life ? sonny : you 're right . i 'll go . will : i was hoping you 'd say that . i brought you a change of clothes . sonny : i 'll be right back . will : you hear that , sweetheart ? fingers crossed that now sonny can finally see paul 's moving on . ben : look , there 's just something about theo . he brings out the best in everyone . i do n't think even chad would try to use him to get what he wants . clyde : ought to send that kid to the u.n . ben : [ chuckles ] you 're right . clyde : it 's got to drive you crazy , though , trying to be nice to a guy who tried to send you to prison . ben : well , i admit , i 'll probably be tempted to hold his disgusting head under water . but i think it 's better for me to just be there and keep an eye on things . clyde : [ sighs ] i hope you 're right . but , uh , sometime soon we got to put our heads together , see if we can come up with some way to get this dimera dude out of the picture . permanently . chad : you look amazing . zoe : thank you . abigail : so you 're going to the picnic ? zoe : no , i 'm going to a meeting at the junior league . chad : [ laughs ] i asked her if she could join us . that 's not going to be a problem , is it ? abigail : did you , uh , explain about theo ? zoe : explain ? abigail : chad 's nephew 's on the spectrum , and , you know , sometimes it takes him a while to warm up to a new person . zoe : okay . abigail : i was just letting you know because i would n't want you to get the wrong impression is all . zoe : no , it 's -- i understand . i appreciate your telling me . chad : i should have told you . abigail : well , i guess i 'll see you guys there . um , hope you 're hungry . zoe : oh . now , i was wondering why you called me this morning . this explains everything , does n't it ? will : see ? it 's a beautiful view of the lake . sonny : [ sighs ] yeah , i like our usual spot . will : oh , let 's be crazy , you know , get a new spot for the summer salem picnic . live life on the edge . sonny : i 'd rather be near abigail and ben , our friends . will : yeah , but , you know , i thought it 'd be nice to have some private time , just the three of us . sonny : and there 's no kids . ari 's not going to have anyone to play with . [ paul laughing ] derrick : oh , man . so you shoved me in the water just because i -- and these are your words here -- '' wiped the courts with you , `` huh ? what a sore loser . paul : [ laughs ] you just have terrible balance , that 's all . derrick : yeah . victor : i 'm not willing to make another attempt on weston 's life till i 'm sure i can neutralize the measures he has in place . stefano : measures ? victor : he 's made arrangements for retribution . i 'm just not willing to suffer those consequences . neither are you . think of chad and theo , your other grandchildren . so , for now , we wait . stefano : mmm . for how long ? victor : until weston feels completely safe . he 'll let his guard down eventually , and that 's when we make our move . stefano : [ chuckles ] he wo n't even know what hit him . [ knocking on door ] kate : come in . clyde : damn it , are n't you one fine - looking businesswoman ? kate : yeah , and do n't you always know the right thing to say ? clyde : [ sighs ] so how is your morning going ? kate : oh , full of surprises . what about you ? you were going to see ben , right ? clyde : yep . kate : is he deliriously happy now that abigail has moved in with him ? clyde : well , it 's a period of adjustment , you know . they 've got a few things to smooth over . but in the end , i think everything 's going to work out just fine . ciara : teach me more , okay ? hope : ciara . ciara : please . come on . teach me more about balks . rafe : all right , all right . ciara : tell me . hope : mm , i 'll take this . rafe : all right , i 'm gon na tell you . listen , the first thing you got to know is that there is more than one kind of a balk , all right ? so if you see the guy ... ben : hey . hope : hey , ben . ben : have you , uh , seen abigail around ? hope : mm - mm . no , not yet . ben : huh . well , i 'm sure she 'll show up soon . hope : yeah . abigail : [ sighs ] well , sonny , you 're wrong . chad does n't have feelings for me . he just pretended to so that he could pay me back . oh , damn , i left my sunglasses there . chad : sorry , i do n't know what you mean . zoe : chad , i 'm not abigail . okay ? i 'm a grown - up . i know you do n't want me to meet your nephew or eat hot dogs . you invited me to this picnic . you dressed me for this picnic for one reason . chad : yes , and that reason is because if i have to attend the salem summer picnic , i would rather do it with somebody who is beautiful and interesting . zoe : no . you invited me to make abigail jealous . | will went to paul 's room to beg him to step aside so he and sonny could have a chance to save their marriage . abby told ben about going to a picnic with theo . ben seemed happy to go until abby mentioned that chad was going too . ben was a little agitated since he just had a dream about her calling out chad 's name in bed . chad invited zoe to go on a picnic with him and theo . ben downplayed his anger and made it seem like he was joking around with abby . kate saw rafe and hope together with ciara and was surprised that they were still friends since they do n't work together anymore . they did n't let kate 's comments bother them . stefano met with victor at the kiriakis mansion to talk about clyde . stefano thought clyde was n't much of a threat , but victor let him know that he was wrong to feel that way . will knew that paul was the one who told sonny that he got married too soon . paul denied saying anything like that to sonny . paul explained that he was in the same boat as will . will vehemently denied being anything like paul . ciara wanted rafe to help her umpire since aiden was n't going to make it to the picnic . rafe was willing to go to the picnic once he heard that aiden could n't make it . will reminded paul that he was n't afraid to come out because he married sonny and they have a family . will was about to leave when derek showed up . will did n't hide his excitement at the idea of paul and derek going to the picnic together . clyde showed up at ben 's place and they talked about abby and chad . |

[ dramatic music ] theresa : hey . brady : morning . theresa : ther brady : thank you . about what happened yesterday ? no . are you ? theresa : no . and , um ... look , i hope this is n't a sore subject , but i was kind of hoping to take him to the park with me today . it 's the first day that 's not boiling hot outside , and i thought maybe he would like it . brady : he ... would love that . yeah . theresa : look , why do n't you come with us ? oh . and see if there are any common markers between this fire and any suspicious activity over shawn : ask the real question . rafe : what ? shawn : do you really want all this paperwork , or do you want rafe : oh , that 's not what i -- shawn : look , i have n't spoken to her , sorry . rafe : i did n't mean to put you on the spot . shawn : no . no , no , no . it 's okay . you know , the truth ... rafe : thanks for that . shawn : i always thought the two of you were good together . i mean , technically , i do n't really have anything against aiden . rafe : did he really ? [ door opens ] hope : i think it 's all your favorite things . i wanted to make up for last night . aiden : hope , you have nothing to make up for -- hope : but i do . i do . i do . for us , for us to see if we could put aiden , i 'm sorry . i really , honestly , thought that if it 's time to go , it 's time to go . hope : i 'm sorry you 're disappointed . aiden : hey , i did n't say that . you 're the one saying it , okay ? look , i ... hope . i did n't come up here with a lot of expectations . right ? few nights alone with you -- that 's ... it 's all i could ask for . 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 ? baby steps . that 's ... that 's the way to go . hope : so you 're not disappointed ? you 're completely fine with the way things are ? is that what you 're saying ? aiden : of course . hope : you 're lying . aiden : what ? hope : you 're lying . shawn : wait , wait . so , what is it you think aiden 's lying about ? rafe : wish i knew . it 's a gut feeling . the guy did target your mom for the dimeras , so there 's that . shawn : it started with a lie . rafe : yeah . maybe that 's why i ca n't let it go . what do you think ? shawn : me ? rafe : yeah , you 've got good instincts . shawn : i do n't know , man . i hit the same block that you do when i go back to the beginning . the guy shows up here . he comes clean . it 's like ... i do n't know , it 's like he 's trying to start over . rafe : mm - hmm . at box 244 on route 17 ? shawn : what ? rafe : yeah . well , like you said , the guy wants to start over , so he buys some rundown piece of property on route 17 . shawn : wait , that 's not even in town . rafe : not near his office . hope 's house . the station . shawn : maybe he 's trying to fix it up and flip it . i mean , come on , at least he 's not trying to mooch off my mom . rafe : so you do n't think it 's weird ? shawn : maybe it 's all he can afford . rafe : he bought it from the dimeras . shawn : now that 's strange . what else you got ? rafe : well , if this is too close to home , if you do n't want to talk about it -- shawn : no , no , no , come on . no , go on , what do you got ? rafe : aiden went to visit andré in prison , claiming to be his lawyer . guy haines . shawn : he used an alias . rafe : mm - hmm . sure did . so i asked andré about it , and andré said he went there to chew him out about what had happened and to talk about the property . shawn : now , you think this property is important ? rafe : i do n't know . but i do n't think aiden snuck into jail just to give him a hard time about what happened . twice . that i know about . and andré said he just wanted to talk about the property . shawn : yeah , but he just came out and told you this outright ? rafe : yeah . which is why i questioned it . almost like he wanted me to know . shawn : i do n't know , maybe -- maybe it 's a cover - up . i mean , come on , no offense , but who the hell would believe anything that andré says . rafe : well , yeah . exactly . i would n't . but i saw the documents , and the pictures . i mean , it 's this run - down place , a fixer - upper , but aiden bought it . why ? shawn : that 's the question . aiden : yeah . yeah , that 's the question . i mean , if you wanted to invest money in a place -- if he had the money -- it certainly would n't be this place . i mean , it would take a fortune to fix up . shawn : mm . yeah , i do n't ... i do n't know . i do n't know . rafe : so you do n't think it 's weird ? shawn : yeah , i think it 's weird , but it 's not exactly criminal . rafe : okay . it 's close , though . shawn : look , i ... look , i do n't know , man . i mean , when it comes to aiden , i ... and i start to ask these questions , i got to remind myself that my mom is a smart woman . rafe : mm - hmm . shawn : and she 's loyal . i mean , all the years that my dad and her were together , it 's ... you know , after everything that they went through , it 's like she never , never was this serious about a guy , ever . then ... then aiden . i mean , she married the guy . she married -- well , technically , she did n't marry him , but she thought that she did . rafe : hold on a sec . say that again . brady : i was n't saying no to going to the park with you . i was saying no to you working . theresa : oh , brady , come on . we got a launch coming up pretty soon . brady : you say you 've been working to the bone . i 'm ... you 're worn out , okay ? theresa : right . so , maybe i 'll fall asleep again while i 'm supposed to be watching tate . brady : stop . i did n't mean that . theresa : okay . good . this is not gon na happen again . i even made this kind of yummy protein drink . it 's got enough jolt of caffeine in it that mommy 's gon na be up and babbling for the next week straight , so ... brady : that 's terrific . i 'll look forward to that . theresa : yeah . oh , listen . i made enough for two , so you should just come with us . please ?

theresa : i mean ... oh , man , it was so awful . i fell asleep right here with tate yesterday . i mean , i just closed my eyes for a few seconds , but it was exactly when victor walked by , and ... anne : really ? like the old man does n't doze off every once in a while ? theresa : okay , not with his grandson . his precious grandson . anne : what 's going on ? theresa : not in public . you ready to work ? anyway , he ragged on me for , like , an hour . anne : oh , god , that sucks . well , at least it was n't brady . right ? theresa : you should 've seen his face when i told him . anne : you told him ? theresa : yes . anne : why ? just to beat victor to the punch ? theresa : i do n't know . i do n't -- i just -- i do n't know , i guess i thought it 'd be better to just be straight with him , you know ? anne : was it ? theresa : i think so . of course , now he 's all worried that i 'm working too hard . anne : okay , t , we can not push these deadlines . theresa : yeah , i know . that 's what i told him . i told him we have to get these deadlines done , so ... anne : well , if that 's the worst problem you have as a couple -- you know , you guys are , like , disgustingly solid and happy . theresa : i know , are n't we ? everything is so perfect . anne : [ imitates gagging ] theresa : no , hey , it 's awesome . hey , and summer 's history now , so ... anne : that 's the would - be home wrecker , not the season , right ? theresa : yep . brady found out she was scamming him all along , and , uh ... you know , she just turned out to be the needy , manipulative little liar that i knew she always was , and , uh , she got caught . now she 's leaving town . anne : you 're sure ? theresa : mm - hmm . that 's what she said last night . we ran into her in town , and she said she was leaving . anne : all right , well , good riddance . theresa : yep . anne : maybe a skosh more enthusiasm ? theresa : she looked at me , though , she looked at me and tate , and she said , `` take good care of him . `` anne : no ! the heartless bitch . theresa : seriously , anne , there was something about the way she said it . it was so creepy , like ... i do n't know , like , maybe she somehow found out or heard that i fell asleep , and she was taking a shot at me . anne : come on . how would she have heard ? theresa : i do n't know . i do n't know . i just do n't trust that bitch and never have , but , you know what , it does n't matter . brady 's on to her , and that is all that counts . anne : all right . let me see . theresa : okay . anne : all right . summer : i 'm sorry you feel this way . brady : do you not get why ? summer : it 's everything i owe you . brady : yeah , it 's $ 50,000 . do you want to tell me where you got that money ? i know you do n't have it lying around , summer . summer : i hit up an old associate . they owe me , and i did n't want to owe you . brady : you know if you took that money off of victor or maggie or anybody else i know , you know that i 'm gon na find out about it . summer : i 'm telling you the truth . i wanted to make things right , and i did n't want to leave you hanging . i am not the same person you pulled out of the pacific last winter . i ... i 've changed . you 've changed me . hope : would you do me a favor ? aiden : of course . hope : come here . pure honesty . no judgments . no pressure . aiden : okay . hope : how did you see this trip going ? aiden : i do n't think we really need to -- hope : no , aiden ... aiden : hmm ? hope : please . i promise . whatever you say is totally fine . i just really want to know . aiden : pure honesty ? hope : yeah . hey , that 's the only way for us . we have to be completely honest about everything . aiden : and you are right . and i will be honest with you . here we are , right ? the first time we ... really alone since i got back , and i do n't know , hope , i just ... i just saw us being together , you know ? just getting lost in the moment , and ... hope : that 's all ? aiden : well , that is just the start . well , we 'd come in and see this beautiful place , go out on the balcony , and just ... breathe it in . i 'd look at you , and we 'd move into a kiss . so easy . no thought , no hesitation . sweet . complete . i look at you , you look at me , and we feel the connection come back , and we know . we have time . so we change and take a walk around the lake . maybe a hike like we -- like we had done . we have dinner here in the room . candlelight . no spaghetti . all your favorites . your favorite champagne . and you 're happy . you ... reach across the table for me , and i melt . we melt into each other . and we make love . after , we 're in our hearts , everything we 've held back , the love and anticipation , and it 's ... it 's perfect . perfect lead up . hope : to what ? what else ? aiden : the night . just the night . being in each other 's arms . hope : no , you were gon na say something else . aiden , please tell me . shawn : i said my mom loved the guy enough to marry him . i 'm sorry , but that 's the truth . rafe : yeah , it is . shawn : you keep grinning . no , you 're grinning . what do you got ? rafe : that 's how we verify aiden 's version of the story . shawn : okay , how ? rafe : the story that aiden told was true , right ? he was snatched away , and an impostor was put in his place . right after the engagement . shawn : okay , right . rafe : right . so the man that hope married was the impostor . a completely different guy than the guy that walked in here . right ? shawn : true . rafe : yeah . so how soon can you get down to the lab and run some tests ? [ dramatic music ] aiden : i had hoped , in my wildest dreams ... that we , uh , would have left here engaged . well , you know , that was just a fantasy . you asked , and , uh , yeah . hope : i did , i ... i asked . aiden : yeah , well ... you know , we got a lot out of this trip , though , did n't we ? i mean , we know for certain that , uh ... we got a long way to go . and that 's -- that 's good to know . right ? hope : yeah , sounds like a lot of fun . aiden : we will make it fun . hope : okay . aiden : okay . hope : yeah . aiden : now , look . i am not gon na push . and i do have another fantasy . hope , i want to deliver you from all the pain that i caused you . if i could find an antidote for that , then i would be the happiest man in the world . rafe : hope and aiden would 've had their blood drawn for the marriage license after aiden was snatched . in fact , your mom was so damn busy with the necktie case , i do n't think she ha shawn : and even if aiden did it earlier , it still would 've been after they were engaged . rafe : yeah , so that blood sample should not match aiden 's . shawn : and i still have the sample that we took when he resurfaced . rafe : okay , can you call the board of health and get that marriage license sample ? shawn : i 'm on it . if aiden 's telling the truth , then these samples -- they should not match . rafe : call me on my cell when you get the results . shawn : where are you going ? rafe : route 17 and county line . aiden bought that house for a reason . i 'm gon na find out what it is . theresa : mm . you know , the way she looked at brady with those big , stupid eyes -- it was like ... anyway , let 's ... okay . enough about summer . let 's just focus . let 's get some work done . anne : nope . nope , you need a break . theresa : what ? no , anne , we have deadlines . anne : that 's okay . they 're gon na have to push to tomorrow now , okay ? or at least this afternoon . theresa : okay , i can not goof off , okay ? i appreciate the sentiment , i do , but i would go nuts . anne : you 're cranky . you 're not concentrating . you 've got summer on the brain , and it 's messing with your life . you need to shake it . theresa : i have . look , i will . look at me , i 'm ... good . anne : okay , not even close . you 're no good to me or to yourself like this , so just take a break , okay ? theresa : anne , i ca n't , okay ? i just ... it 's fine . here . anne : all right , look . you have a wedding to plan , okay ? you have n't even designed your dress , have you ? theresa : well , i mean , look , i kind -- i 've kind of . i mean , it 's in progress . anne : well , make good progress , okay ? think about the wedding . think about your man . do something fun . anted him to go away . brady : you know what ? tell yourself any story you want . i do n't want to hear it anymore . i do n't believe it . i mean , is that it ? summer : that 's where you 're at ? try to help you . i helped you find your mother . have you seen her today , by the way ? summer : no , not yet , but -- brady : well , do her a favor , and do n't . just do n't see her . summer : wow . brady : yeah . well , she 's been through enough . she 's been through enough ... disappointment there 's nothing you could say to her that 's gon na make any difference . summer : so if i just disappear , that 'll be better for her ? brady : i will tell her that you left . she will understand . you can send a ... postcard from wherever you end up , summer . summer : and that 'll be enough ? brady : there 's nothing more to do . you understand that ? you understand that you blew it ? you had your chance to get a new life here , and you took every opportunity and you blew it , you know why ? the reason being was that you ... you did n't step up . summer : you think i can never change . brady : i think ... that you did n't . summer : you think i ca n't surprise you ? or help you , ever ? you think that i would n't ? brady : what could -- no , summer -- summer : you know , what if -- brady : there is nothing -- summer : there is something i can do for you , right here ... brady : there 's nothing you -- summer : right now . there is something that you would be so grateful for . brady : what are you talking -- hey ! stop it ! i 'm not playing with you right now . summer : neither am i ! what if i could help you ? brady : you ca n't help me . the reason you ca n't help me is because you help yourself . that 's how you operate . so stop pretending with me that it 's gon na be any other way , because it 's not . this is it . what are you -- summer : we could 've been so good together !

why would i go to all that trouble ? hope : i do n't know . maybe you were ... working some scam . maybe you were going to demand ransom for holly 's return ? or you just wanted to punish nicole , because she divorced you and you wanted to give her a false hope that her daughter was still alive . xander : false hope ?

hope : ted dropped off the face of the earth . last person to see him was you . xander : on his way out of town . hope : oh , he told me he was on his way to nicole . remember , he left me that message ? but he never showed up there . so what the hell happened to him ? xander : is it really so hard to believe that he dumped you by text and skipped town ? hope : oh , xander , thank you for that . i never made any mention of ted dumping me by text . so how 'd you get that idea ? xander : ted ... hope : ted . xander : yeah , he told me when he sold me the necklace at the pawn shop . hope : oh , well then maybe he also told you that he was meeting up with me after he spoke to nicole ? oh , he did n't tell you that ? and suddenly out of nowhere , he dumps me ? via text ? xander : mm , that is bad form . hope : it was you , xander . you sent that text from ted 's phone to cover your tracks . you 're the one who made ted disappear . kristen as nicole : kristen dimera ? what does she have to do with anything ? kate : nicole , ted and i have had a lot of time to think about it , okay ? why we were hit over the head , why we were kidnapped , why we 've been stashed under the dimera mansion . ted : and the only explanation we can come up with is that kristen is holding something over your head . kristen as nicole : you do remember kristen dimera is dead ? ted : oh , is she ? because everyone in that warehouse fire has turned up alive . kate : including you . and have you forgotten that kristen 's father is in phoenix himself ? ted : nicole , holly is not dead either . kate : it 's true , nicole , but you desperately wanted everyone to believe that ! and why -- why would a mother want everyone to think that she 's grieving ? kristen as nicole : she wouldn't . kate : that 's right , she wouldn't . unless , perhaps , kristen faked holly 's death and is holding her somewhere and is forcing you to do her bidding . ted : and you 're terrified , terrified that the truth will come out and then kristen will really hurt holly . kristen as nicole : that 's very ... creative . but what makes you think the late kristen dimera is involved ? kate : well , for one thing , maggie saw her in your room wearing a red dress . kristen as nicole : maggie took a tumble off the wagon . wait , you 're really gon na believe the memory of a drunk ? she might as well have seen elvis himself . kate : nicole , i know what i saw , okay ? and i saw a red dress in your closet , and i 'm also pretty damn sure that that voice i heard behind the door was kristen dimera 's . ted : kate did n't see who hit her over the head . for all we know , it was kristen , it was not you . kate : nicole ? listen , if all of these theories are right , i know that you 're feeling desperate right now , i know it . ted : nicole , we can help you . kristen as nicole : [ scoffs ] how could you possibly help me ? kate : okay . for starters , i know exactly how to deal with kristen . kristen as nicole : is that a fact ? kate : yeah , that is a fact . she may be a dimera , but i 've been married to two of them . kristen as nicole : then by your theory , why are you locked in there , and kristen 's out running around ? ted : kate , she has a point . kristen as nicole : okay , you know what , i 'm gon na let you little love birds get back to doing whatever it is you were doing before i interrupted . seemed like a vigorous way to pass the time while in captivity . kate : [ stammers ] nicole ! you ca n't leave us in here . kristen as nicole : do n't do anything i would n't do . ted : please , nicole do n't go . kate : nicole ! no ! no ! no , we could die in here ! nicole !

[ dramatic music ] chloe : hmm , you do n't like my necklace ? brady : i think it looks amazing on you , i just do n't know if it 's a good idea to accept a gift like that from a guy who was just married two days ago . chloe : rex and i are just friends , okay ? there 's nothing going on between us . brady : do n't -- no , do n't look at me like that . there 's not -- there 's nothing -- there 's no jealously going on or anything like that . chloe : why would i ever jump to that conclusion ? brady : look , i told you ... i accept the fact that i was a little overprotective when it came to stefan , all right ? it might not have been healthy , the way i was acting . chloe : so , you 're saying you 're done with that , being jealous and overprotective ? brady : i 'll admit to you i was happy when i heard that you were moving out of the mansion . but it was n't because i wanted you for myself or anything . chloe : of course not . brady : look , i never thought stefan was good for you . still don't . i never will . chloe : mm . i used to think that he was the best thing for me and the kids . i thought he really cared about us , but he did n't really care when i found him in bed with gabi hernandez the day of holly 's funeral . [ dramatic sting ] brady : are yo -- that happened ? really ? chloe : yeah , that happened . i -- i do n't get it . i thought stefan and gabi hated each other . brady : yeah , yeah , yeah ... chloe : i know they say that there 's that fine line between love and hate , but come on . the guy framed her for andre 's murder . she went to prison for it . she was beaten within an inch of her life . how do you go from that and then turn around and have sex with the guy ? it just -- it does n't make any sense . brady : no . [ blows raspberry ] not unless you , um , not unless you know the whole story . kristen as nicole : do n't go downstairs . gabi : why not ? kristen as nicole : because ... when i was wandering the tunnels i started to thinking . gabi : about ? kristen as nicole : about how i should n't have shot down your ideas earlier . gabi : you changed your mind about the party ? kristen as nicole : yes . you were right . margaritas would be more fun and hip -- i mean , better than some musty champagne party . stefan : you were so insistent earlier . kristen as nicole : yeah , i -- i know , i -- i have a tendency to dig in when i 'm challenged . and i 'm not very good at listening to other points of view . gabi : so what changed your mind ? kristen as nicole : i realized that i owe you , stefan , for giving me a chance . uh -- we 're on the same team , right ? we want the same thing ? stefan : what 's that ? kristen as nicole : for dimera to come out on top . stefan : glad to hear you say it . kristen as nicole : gabi , i 'm sorry for coming on so strong before . i guess i 'm just still so angry for what happened the last few years , and i will do a better job of channeling it more constructively from now on . gabi : well , i accept your apology , and i 'm sure stefan does too . kristen as nicole : oh . since when do you speak for him ? [ dramatic music ] [ pounding on door ] ted : open this door ! kate : ted , stop ! ted : you can not leave us in here , nicole . kate : no , she can . and she did , she 's gone . ted : [ sighs ] kate , look , is it me or nicole looked surprised , surprised to find us in here ? kate : no , yes , i think she was surprised , but she was surprised to find us alive , which means that xander was lying to her , because he led her to believe that we were dead . ted : then why , why was she in -- why was she in the tunnel in the first place ? kate : i do n't know , maybe she thought our bodies were down here and she was going to dispose of them . ted : wow , there 's a happy thought . [ soft dramatic music ] kate : but when she found us alive , why did n't she just kill us on the spot ? ted : well , maybe -- maybe she did n't expect us , she did n't expect us here . look , she did n't even have a weapon . kate : so now that she knows that we 're alive ... ted : is she gon na -- is she gon na come back ? is she gon na come back to finish us off ? eric : sami encouraged me to tell sarah how i felt . marlena : oh -- [ soft laugh ] i 'm sorry , it -- it is n't often that i agree with sami 's advice , but , boy , this time i do . eric : mm - hmm . marlena : so , you talk to sarah ? eric : no . before i had a chance , sarah and rex , they asked me to marry them . marlena : hm . did it occur to you to say no ? eric : mom , i 'm not gon na do to rex like i did to brady . i ca n't do that to sarah either . marlena : do -- do n't you think that sarah deserves a chance at happiness ? eric : she deserves to be loved by somebody wholeheartedly . marlena : and do you think that 's rex ? eric : i hope so . marlena : well what about rex ? does n't he deserve to have someone love him with her whole heart ? eric : well , sarah does love rex . marlena : not the way she loves you . eric : then why would she decide to marry him ? marlena : well , i think that she would marry him so she could get over the way she feels about you . but in my experience , that does n't work very well . rex : of course i did not sleep with chloe lane . why would you ask me that ? sarah : be -- because you said the word `` confession `` and then a woman 's name . rex : sarah , i promised you that i would never betray you again . sarah : i know . i 'm sorry i jumped to the worst . rex : i get that . but you can trust me . you need to trust me . sarah : so -- so what is this , all about chloe lane ? rex : i gave her the necklace from xander .

steve : what , throwing myself into a case ? getting as far away from here as possible ? seems pretty sane to me . marlena : what about your children ? what about all the people here that care about you ? john : this means you 're gon na have to go underground . steve : yeah , where i wo n't have to watch kayla and justin be happy together . that 's what i want , john . that 's what i need . will : uh , justin , um , this is my first time marrying people . was i supposed to -- justin : well , well , i just -- i need to say this . will : oh . justin : there is nothing i would love more than to hear you take me as your lawfully wedded husband , but i ca n't let this wedding go on without you knowing the truth and being honest . kayla : honest about what ? justin : i was on my way over here today , and i just happened to overhear hope and jennifer talking . it was about steve . jennifer : oh , my goodness . justin : and they were discussing steve 's feelings for you . kayla : [ stammers ] justin : he still loves you , honey , and he wants you back . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] kayla : i do n't know what jenn and hope were talking about , but steve has made it clear to me more than once that i 'm better off with you . victor : if it means anything , he said the same thing to justin about an hour ago . justin : but he did n't mean a word of it . am i right , jenn ? jennifer : i feel so bad . i - i did n't know that -- that you overheard us . i had no idea . justin : but i did . i did overhear , and after you left , i talked to hope , and she confirmed it . steve never stopped loving you . he never stopped wanting to be your husband . kayla : well , then why did n't he tell me that ? justin : you know how guilty he felt about abandoning you and getting caught by stefano and treating you so badly . kayla : he also said that that guilt was something that he could never get past . justin -- justin , this is our wedding day . why are you talking about him ? justin : because he did get past it . he got past it , and when he did , he realized that he could n't live without you . that day that i proposed , you mentioned that afterwards he came to the hospital to talk to you , but before he could do that , he saw me make a complete fool of myself in the middle of the nurses ' station . kayla : no , you did not . you were so sweet . justin : he saw it happen , honey , and that 's why he backed off , and he thought you were as happy as i was that we were engaged . kayla : and i was ! i -- i was ! oh , my god . i mean , is it true ?

steve : well , i already told them that i think that their mother 's made the right decision marrying justin . by now it 's probably a done deal . hope : unless justin 's conscience got the better of him and he decided to tell kayla that you 're still in love with her . john : why the hell would he do something like that ? hope : i told steve at the award ceremony that justin knew the truth . marlena : what ? hope : yeah . he overheard jennifer and me talking in the square about steve still being in love with kay and wanting her back . john : well , how do you know justin overheard you ? hope : because after jenn left , justin confronted me . i had no choice but to confirm what he heard . john : [ scoffs ] well , that kinda changes things . marlena : justin is a decent man . i ca n't imagine him knowing the information and then keeping that from kayla . never run dry of ... john : so if you knew and jenn knew -- hope : because jack told jenn . john : wait , wait , wait . you mean jack knew , too ? steve : i swore jack to secrecy . hope : and jack swore jennifer to secrecy . john : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait -- wait a minute . four of you knew , and nobody told kayla ? marlena : well , clearly it 's all up to justin now . jennifer : kayla , i have known for a while that steve never wanted to lose you , and i just found out this morning that hope knew . kayla : why could n't one of you tell me ? justin : because steve did n't want them to . hope said it was really hard keeping it from you . jennifer : kayla , it was . justin : but they agreed that it was up to steve to talk to you , and he didn't . kayla : of course he didn't . it 's just like him . confide in all my friends , but not in me . jack : he was just trying to do right by you . kayla : are you in on this , too ? steve : no , justin 's not gon na tell kayla how i feel about her . i mean , he is a decent guy , but he 's not an idiot . she 's a treasure , and he knows that . he 's not gon na jeopardize spending the rest of his life with her , and that 's the way i want it , okay ? jack : steve confided in me . he told me how he feels about you , and then he asked me to keep it to myself . i told jennifer because we do n't keep secrets from each other . kayla : oh , just from me . jack : he 's my brother . victor : good god . i ca n't believe we 're rehashing this here . you love kayla . she loves you . who cares what steve johnson feels ? let 's just get on with it ! sonny : uncle vic , dad brought it up because it 's important . kayla : justin , this is supposed to be the happiest day of our life . victor 's right . why are you talking about him now ? why 'd you bring it up ? justin : because i just found out myself , and it threw me for a loop , and i did n't know what to do . telling you immediately , not telling you at all , waiting till after we got married , and then tell you , and then before i knew it sonny was knocking on my door and telling me that it 's ready for the ceremony and -- and then i saw you walking in here barefooted and so beautiful , smiling at me , and i just knew that i could n't get married unless you knew the truth . kayla : [ scoffs ] what am i supposed to do ? justin : just think back to the day that steve went to the hospital and he saw me get down on my knee and propose to you . what if he had had the chance to tell you what was in his heart before i proposed ? would we still be standing here right now ? kayla : you do know what you are asking me to process here , right in the middle of our wedding ? justin : it 's not fair . i know . kayla : i 'm not blaming you . you were misled as much as i was , but at least you had the courage to tell me that steve ... that he wants me back . oh , my god . and you guys all knew about it ? everybody knew about it but me ? justin : do n't blame them . kayla : [ exhales sharply ] justin : it 's how steve wanted it . steve : i 'm done talking about justin and kayla , all right ? by now they 're already married . we were talking about me taking an assignment for the isa . so what about it , john ? john : why do you need my permission ? you 're -- you 're a grown man . if you wan na run away , go for it . steve : actually , i 'm flying away . got a ticket to d.c . marlena : when does your flight leave ? steve : soon . john , i love you like a brother , but i ca n't stay here and watch my wife be married to another man . john : you know , i just doubled our caseload because i brought you back into the business . steve : why are you being so stubborn ? john : maybe because i know this mission -- if you get on that flight , i wo n't ever see you again . marlena : honey , you 're not gon na change his mind . he needs our support right now . john : you okay with this ? hope : no . i 'm not o -- i 'll miss him terribly . but like you said , we ca n't -- i mean , he does n't need our permission . steve : okay , it 's settled . i got a flight to catch . marlena : oh , honey ... steve : all right . marlena : oh . steve : hey . marlena : mm . steve : would you keep an eye on your old man ? he 's a little lost without me . marlena : i know . i 'll do it . john : you come back . steve : i 'll try . okay . hope : come on . i 'll go with you back to my place . bye , marlena , john . steve : i love you guys . john : yeah , yeah , yeah . [ door closes ] justin : do you know how much i wish i had taken a different route today and not gone through the square and overheard jenn and hope 's conversation ? we 'd be married now . we 'd be celebrating with everyone , but getting all existential does n't change the fact that i did hear what i heard . and even before i heard it , it 's been on my mind that maybe you 've been avoiding your feelings for steve because you did n't want to hurt me . i want you to have whatever makes you the happiest . so if steve 's feelings do n't matter to you anymore , then we 'll get married , and we 'll spend the rest of our life together . kayla : i do n't know what to say . justin : you do n't have to say a word . i can see it in your eyes . i 'm bad . justin : the reason i did n't come straight to you after i talked to hope was because i went to the cemetery , and i wanted to tell adrienne that if things had been different , if she had survived that accident , that i would still be married to her , and you would still be our dear friend , and the thing that i 've learned about falling in love with a dear friend is that that friendship does n't die . steve wants you back , and as a man who is madly in love with you , i wish that was n't the case , but as a man who -- who 's your friend and always will be , i 'm happy for you .

[ both laughing ] marlena : i do . i guess i 'm a -- i 'm a drinking lightweight . [ both laughing ] john : no , i would n't put it that way . i would just say that you do n't need to drink to be -- be funny and charming and altogether adorable . i mean it , doc . and that bit about being a lightweight , well , you know what ? that 's just one of the things i love about you . in fact , i love everything about you , honey . marlena : well , that is so handy , 'cause i love everything about you . jack : steve is back working with the isa ? he did n't say anything about that . jennifer : kayla is looking for him and he 's going undercover ? hope : i have called him multiple times and it keeps going to voicemail . let 's just pray that kayla gets there in time . jack : oh , wait a minute . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na call the airport and see if i can get them to hold the fl -- wait a minute . i got a message from steve . [ phone beeps ] steve : hey , i 'm at the airport . i decided on the spur of the moment to leave town and i 'm not sure when i 'll be back . sorry i did n't get to say good - bye to you and jennifer . we wo n't be able to contact each other , so do n't do anything stupid while i 'm gone . i think kayla 's gon na be happy with justin , but do keep an eye on her for me . you 've been a good brother to me , jack . catch you later , dude . kayla : i -- i need to -- i need to get to gate , uh , six a -- uh , the d.c . flight . uh , well , i need your photo i d and ticket . kayla : well , i do n't have that . i just need to talk to someone who 's on that flight . it 's an emergency . look , i -- you know what ? i 'll just go right to the gate . hey , lady , lady ! no one gets past the checkpoint without a ticket . it 's the law . kayla : fine . i 'll buy a ticket ! sonny : hi . will : hey . did you find your dad ? sonny : yeah , he was at kayla 's , packing up his stuff . will : man , that 's pretty brutal . sonny : it was . i tried to get him to come back with me but he said he needed some time alone . will : do you know where he went ? sonny : i have a pretty good idea . justin : here we are again . just you and me . things did n't work out the way i planned . remember me telling you that steve was just pretending to be over kayla ? i decided i could n't keep it from her . i guess i should have known when steve came back that it would end this way . if that guy was anywhere on this planet , kayla would be drawn to him . and if anyone can understand that , it 's me , because if i found that there was a chance that you were alive , living in timbuktu , i would n't stop until i found you . there would be no one else for me . just you . adrienne . kayla : okay . all right , i have the ticket now . you have to let me on . come on . it 's too late . kayla : what ? the flight 's closed . the plane 's left the gate . kayla : no ! no , no , no ! no ! no , no ! [ crying ] oh , god ! no ! [ kayla sighs ] | kayla was shocked that justin stopped their wedding to tell her about steve 's feelings for her . she did n't blame him because he told her the truth about the way steve felt about her . she asked the guests if they knew about it . she was surprised that everyone knew about it but her . justin told her not to blame them . steve told john , marlena , and hope how he planned on leaving soon . john was upset with him because he would n't see him again if he left . marlena told john to calm down , but he was upset . she said he would need support . john calmed down and hugged him goodbye . hope decided to take steve back to her place . justin was willing to end the ceremony unless she was truly over steve and would be willing to have a life with him . she did n't say anything so he took that to mean that she was giving him her answer . |

brady : no victims here . no one was shot . victor : he fell in the pool and hit his head . you better have a look at him . abe : that 's it ? he fell in the pool ? victor : someone took a shot at him . he turned to see where the shooter was and slipped and fell into the pool . thank god the shooter missed . abe : are you sure brady was the target ? shawn - d : so your father killed your mother ? maya : i never said that . i said the police were convinced that my father killed her . they were wrong . he had nothing to do with her disappearance . he was absolutely lost without her . shawn - d : so you were raised by your father after that , after your mother left ? maya : yes . and it was wonderful . we were never apart . when he traveled , i went with him . my classroom was the entire world . shawn - d : okay , so , after traveling the entire world , you decided now to settle in salem , right ? why ? maya : i never settle anywhere . i 'm hereigight now . shawn - d : so this is n't forever . maya : nothing is forever . shawn - d : except for love ? ma : not even that . and anyone who says otherwise is a fool or a liar . jesse : i still ca n't believe you and your bitch got out of that warehouse . i almost did n't recognize her with that wig on , but tommy was right , were n't you , tommy ? tommy : me , right ? i 'm never right . you can ask anyone . jesse : what were you right about , tommy ? tommy : let 's see . uh ... maybe , uh ... `` she 's got a face you ca n't forget . `` that 's it , right ? that 's what i said . jesse : yeah , that 's it . then wt t did you say ? tommy : um ... something , uh ... maybe ... `` she 's got a great body . `` whatever . i do n't know . jesse : i think this kid 's got a thing for your wife . bo : hey , look , this is between you and me . it 's got notngng to do with tommy , so let him go . jesse : like hell . he set me up . tommy did a bad thing . tommy is a bad boy . bo : tommy did exactly like i told him . he had no choice . let him go . maya : it must be interesting having two women in your life who could n't be more different from one another . on the one side , you have innocent , inexperienced belle . and on the other ... well , there 's me . shawn - d : i hate to break this to you , but you 're not in my life the way belle is . you see , she 's it for me . and you want to know why , maya ? because i love her . maya : ha ha ha . touching . and , you know , i do n't believe you came here to talk to me about belle or my childhood -- not for a minute . shawn - d : it 's just i 'm trying to -- maya : oh , come on , be honest . why did you come here ? shawn - d : fine ! the truth is , i 'm spying oyoyou . lucas : why ? cassie , why are you working here ? it 's not like you need the money . cassie : i like it here . lucas : you like it here . you like -- you like having men ogle you and drool all over you ? you like that ? cassie : the men in here like me . i feel their stares , and they want me , and i like that . lucas : they want you for a quick `` wham - bam , thank you , ma'am , `` and that 's it . it 's back to their girlfriends or their wives or whoever they go home to . you know what ? i wanted you , and i thought you wanted me , too . cassie : it would n't have worked between us . it was n't real . lucas : was n't real ? and you think this place is real ? let me tell you something . every single guy in this place is pretending to be somebody they 're not . the only reason why they like the girls is because the girls tell them exactly what they want to hear . they wait on them hand and foot . and the only reason why the girls like the guys is because they 're getting paid to . that 's what this club is about . it has nothing to do with the outside world or real love . cassie : you know , you do n't know anything about real love , either . brady : here , nicole . nicole : oh . thank you . brady : the paramedics must get commission for every warm body they transport . victor : they want to take you in for observation ? brady : yeah , they did , but i sent them on their way . victor : you should 've gone . you could have aononcussion . brady : granddad , i 'm fine . i swear . abe : can you think of anybody who would want to come after you like this ? brady : it never dawned on me , but now that i think about it , yeah , there might be a few people who want me dead . bo : look , tommy had nothing to do with this . let him go . jesse : shut up ! shut up ! shut up ! just shut up ! or i 'm going to start gapping people right here and now . turn right at that alley up there . tommy : can i ask whe e we 're going ? jesse : the perfect place to dump a couple of bodies . hope : okay , where are you going ? brady , i wish i knew where you were . john : you see , the thing is , if we make it out of here , we 're going to have to tread water for quite some time . and if we do n't , we 're going to drown . tony : we 're not going to drown . the water 's not rising . we 'll stand on the railings and just hold onto the ceiling . the coast guard 's bound to come and rescue us sooner or later . john : you see , there 's only so much oxygen trapped in here . and once we use it up , well , we 're going to black out and we 're going to drown . tony : well , then , we 've got to do something . we 've got to find a way . john : calm down . you use twice as much oxygen when you 're agitated . tony : i 'm not agitated . john : i only came up here to get some air . i 'm going back out to work on the door . tony : no , no , i 'm going to go down this time . john : sure about that ?

[ whistles ] i 'm sure you know that a polygraph is n't 100 % accurate , and it is n't admissible in court . but it can -- and in many cases does -- help the authorities determine who is the actual guilty party . good . good . as long as you 're clear on what your dollars bought you . well , nice doing business with you . ej : that 's ridiculous . there 's no way that i could possibly have failed your test . it 's impossible . well , clearly there 's something wrong with your test procedure , gentlemen . roman : you can argue all you want , junior , but that test was administered by an objective professional , and according to the results , you were lying . ej : you 're not seriously going to buy any of this , are you ? spencer : i 'm sorry , mr. dimera , but i 'm afraid they speak for themselves , those results . will : i mean , yeah , but there 's got ta be some mistake . roman : or not . maybe we just finally found stefano 's murderer .

did you really think that i would just forgive you for what you did to me ? stefano : i was led to believe that you were not my son . ej : spare me . you were so consumed with your own wounded vanity that you sold your son for what , a cheap trinket and some empty words ? stefano : i was in torment . ej : you can rewrite your own history , old man . do n't rewrite mine . stefano : look , i admitted my mistake . you said that you forgave me . ej : you always taught me ... keep your enemies close . stefano : hmm . so then ... everything since that time , that moment , has been a lie ?

eric : yeah , it 's the second time . sami : what ? eric : it does n't feel as bad as it did the first time . maybe it 's going away . sami : i asked you yesterday , and you said you were feeling fine . eric : yeah , but that was -- that was yesterday . sami , what are you doing ? sami : i 'm calling mom . eric : no , you 're not . sami : why not ? eric : because i have a school that 's being consecrated tomorrow . i have a million things to do , and i do n't want anybody hovering over me . please . sami : but you can not will this away . you can not pray it away . you need to see a doctor . eric : i - i did . dr. jonas , he 's running a million tests on me right now . sami : well , good . did he tell you what he thinks it is ? eric : no , he 's just trying to tell me what it is n't . he -- he said that i just may never know what it is . sami : what ? what kind of answer is that ? eric : sami , please -- sami : what kind of doctor does daniel jonas think that he is ? stefano : this , from my own son ? ej : i spent my entire life trying to be your son . but in the end ... it did n't really matter . because i did n't have the right dna . stefano : i loved you . ej : you use that word like a bludgeon to hurt the people closest to you . stefano : what people ? ej : your love killed alexandra , killed tony , ruined kate 's life . stefano : uh - huh , so now you 're on her side , is that it ? ej : let us just say that i have a new understanding of her situation after you did exactly the same thing to her that you did to me . stefano : she betrayed me . ej : after you led her to believe that you were chasing marlena . what did you expect her to do ? you dumped her . did you want her to spend the rest of her life grieving over the loss of your love ? stefano : so you understand what she did with hernandez ? ej : let 's not talk about my reaction , father . let 's talk about yours . stefano : i do n't know what the hell you are talking about . ej : when kate inadvertently told you about her little dalliance with rafe , you went mad . the tiny bit of testosterone that you have left started to run your life . you lost sight of things that matter . companies . i owe kate a debt of gratitude . she made life very easy for me . stefano : i will make you pay for what you have done to me . ej : actually , i do n't think that you will . the phoenix is not going to rise again , father . theresa : i do n't know what you 're getting so worked up about . kayla : jennifer horton is one of my best friends . i asked her to do me a favor and give my niece a job as her assistant . she kindly agreed . i walk in here , and you 're treating her like she 's stupid . theresa : i was not doing that . now , i met her and jj a couple nights ago , and she treated me like a stranger . kayla : she has a lot on her mind . you know , kimberly asked roman and me and the rest of the family to keep an eye on you . theresa : my mother should give it a rest . kayla : look , jeannie -- theresa : look , i told you , i use my middle name now . it 's theresa , okay ? like the saint . kayla : okay . fine , theresa . people like jennifer are going out of their way to give you a fresh start . and i walk in here and see you only giving back attitude . theresa : are you going to be just like mom ? kayla : what is that supposed to mean ? theresa : she 's all over everything i do , and you know what ? i 'm not gon na take it anymore . jennifer : you want to tell me about all of that ? jj : all what ? jennifer : why you 're alone in my office with theresa . jj : mom , she did n't tell me anything . mom , i was just as blown away as you were . i did n't know she was kayla 's niece either . jennifer : okay , if you did n't know that she was kayla 's niece , then what was she doing in our house ? you never explained that to me . jj : god , because it does n't matter what i tell you . you 're not gon na believe me anyway . kristen : hi , jenn . jennifer : hey ! uh , oh , this is jj , my son . jj , this is kristen dimera . jj : hi . kristen : wow , you 're all grown up . jj : i 'm glad somebody thinks so . kristen : see , you talk about him like he 's a little boy . jj : [ chuckles ] tell me about it . just so you know , when the school calls to tell you that i 'm missing english class , it 's because i was getting a lecture from you . jennifer : okay , well , then i expect you to go straight home and call someone to get the notes that you 're missing , and do n't think i 'm not gon na check up on you . jj : i 'm used to that . kristen : oh ... jennifer : sorry you had to witness that . kristen : no , do n't apologize . i 'm really sorry that i gave him ammunition to use against you . that was not good . jennifer : oh , do n't worry . he can find it all on his own . kristen : what 's going on ? is he having a hard time adapting to life in salem ? jennifer : i do n't know . i do n't know if it 's life in salem or if it 's life with me . kristen : [ clicks mouth ] well , let 's talk about something happier . how are you and daniel doing ? daniel : hey , father eric . hey . sami : oh , well , thanks for coming so quickly . eric : i told sami this was not necessary . daniel : no , it 's okay . i wanted to talk to you anyway . sami : well , you should have seen him earlier . he was shaking . he almost passed out . i mean , do you know what it could be that 's wrong with him ? daniel : okay , i have your test results back . and we are about to find out . kayla : look , theresa , i do n't want us to get off on the wrong foot , all right ? but given the trouble that you 've been in , i just do n't really think that you 're in the position to tell me what you will or will not stand for . theresa : so you 're lining up with mom . because you know what ? i 'm not a teenager anymore , okay ? i do n't need to live in one of those rooms that grandma rents out over the pub so you guys can keep an eye on me . kayla : well , good . then you better hang on to this job , so you can find an apartment and pay rent in a place that you like . theresa : i will . kayla : good . and you can start by correcting this bad impression that you made with jennifer , and making things work here with everybody . 'cause you know what i think ? this is probably your last chance . jennifer : daniel and i are taking a break . it was -- it was my idea . kristen : ugh , i 'm so sorry . jennifer : yeah , thank you . kristen : so you do n't want to talk about it , i can tell . jennifer : no , i do n't , really . do n't take it personally . kristen : okay . you 're such a good person . i 'm so sorry . jennifer : oh , gosh , kristen , i really do n't know about that . kristen : oh , you are , and if you do n't have happiness with daniel , i hope you get it with somebody else , because you deserve it . jennifer : you know what ? i want you to be happy . kristen : [ laughing ] jennifer : and i am sorry about what happened with you and brady because i know that you truly loved him . kristen : do n't worry about me . i 've moved on . jennifer : already ? kristen : well , i had to . i did n't have a choice . daniel : i got the results back from all the blood work that we did . sami : you said that already . eric : just let him talk , sami . sami : sorry . daniel : well , i did what 's called a tox screen . i 'm not exactly sure how to interpret the results , so i called one of the area 's leading toxicologists . sami : a toxicologist ? you think that he was poisoned ? daniel : well , it 's a definite possibility . sami : but my brother needs more than just possibilities . eric : okay , sami . sami : he needs answers . you have to tell me what has happened since he got sick . eric : sami , back off . sami : every single detail . no , i 'm not gon na back off . you wo n't tell me . you have to explain to me . you should have seen him . he was shaking . i could barely hold him up . eric : but it 's over , and i feel fine now . daniel : well , maybe the effects of whatever it is are subsiding . sami : `` whatever it is `` ? daniel : okay , i am gon na hold off on drawing conclusions until i talk to a specialist . i faxed over the results . they 're studying them now , okay ? sami : so , once again , we are just dealing in theories here . eric : whoa , `` once again `` ? daniel : okay , now , yeah , sami is a little angry with me 'cause i asked her to leave rafe 's room because her presence agitates him . sami : [ scoffs ] eric : gee , i wonder why . sami : oh , that is not fair . look , i care about you , and i care about rafe , and i am not gon na apologize for that . eric : you know what ? i 'd like you to leave . sami : what ? eric : yes , i 'm tired of sharing my information about ... sami : eric ! eric : this with you . sami : but i -- eric : listen , that 's it . i mean it , just go . sami : well , you may have kicked me out of your office , but you are still my brother , and i am going to make sure you are okay , whether you like it or not . stefano : [ chuckles ] samantha pushed you into doing this , did n't she , huh ? keep me away from my grandchildren ? ej : samantha has no idea what i 've done . but she 'll be very happy when she finds out , after all the things you 've done to her . stefano : i have done nothing . ej : well , let 's put aside the 20 years of brutality and misery that you have brought upon her and her family . when you found out the woman that you did n't want did n't want you , you sent your little snitch bernardi to the hospital to try and kill rafe . unfortunately , samantha was already in that room , and she killed him before he had a chance to carry out your orders . stefano : and it means nothing at all to you that she 's willing to go through all of this to save hernandez ? ej : if she had been indicted by that grand jury , she would have spent the rest of her life in prison . but that did n't matter to you , did it ? your precious grandchildren would have grown up without their mother ! that did n't matter to you , did it ? you were only interested in saving your hide . and when things got a little bit tough , you crawled out of town , and you did n't dare come back here until myself and others had cleaned up your mess . kayla : i was just telling theresa how kind you were to give her this job , and she 's gon na work really hard so that you do n't regret doing that . she 's really grateful to you , jenn . so am i . jennifer : can i ask you why you were at my house with my son the night before last ? theresa : well , i 'd just gotten back to salem , and , um -- well , i have n't been here for a while -- not since i was a little kid -- and so much has changed , you know ? and i got lost . happens to me a lot . so , i saw your house , and it looked familiar , so i walked up to the door and knocked , and jj answered , and , um -- you know , really , i was just asking for directions . jennifer : hmm . okay . that 's fine . theresa : mm - hmm . jennifer : i guess i should show you around the hospital . theresa : great ! jennifer : let me just tell you something first . the reason i 'm doing this is because your aunt kayla and your uncle bo are very dear to me . the entire brady family is very dear to me . so i 'm happy that you 're here , and i really want this to work out ... theresa : but ?

ej : just ... you can hide uneven skin tone from here . jennifer : do n't misunderstand me , aiden . i -- i really appreciate everything that you have done . and i know what a fighter you are in the courtroom . aiden : but ? jennifer : but right from the start , all i have cared about is what jack would have wanted . aiden : he specified that all royalties go to the veterans . jennifer : yes , so that 's what i wanted . but then ... aiden : hey , you know ... i understand , this is difficult for you . please , you do n't have to explain yourself , okay ? jennifer : no , i do have to explain because jack is not here . but if he were , i know what he would say , and i know that he would n't want his son stuck in the middle of ... aiden : in the middle ? jennifer : jj and paige -- that 's eve 's daughter , and they are really , really close , and -- aiden : mm - hmm . and they could wind up being collateral damage , yeah . jennifer : yes , definitely . so i know jack . he would somehow find a way out of it , so that is exactly what i 'm gon na do . aiden : okay , um ... i 'm sorry , does this mean you 're going to give up ? daniel : i will have your file sent to dr. chung as soon as i get to the hospital . eve : okay . daniel : yeah . eve : great , thank you . thank you so much . you know , i just thought this whole issue with theresa was -- well , you know what ? daniel : nah , pshh , yeah . eve : now the big thing that i have to do is tell my daughter . daniel : oh , wow , i did n't know you had a daughter . eve : yeah . daniel : really ? here in salem ? eve : yes , and do you know what ? she 's the one that 's gon na be so disappointed that you 're not my surgeon because she actually is your biggest fan . daniel : really ? eve : [ laughs ] yes . you know her too . paige larson ? jj : oh , hey ! paige : hey . sorry i 'm late . jj : oh , i was too . do n't even worry about it . my mom would n't let me leave for a while . paige : mm . jj : but , uh , hey , she said that she thinks things might work out . you know , between her and your mom ? paige : really ? jj : yeah , yeah . she said that she did n't want us to have to be on opposite sides . paige : that 's amazing . jj : yeah , yeah . paige : but ... jj : what ? paige : i do n't know . maybe it -- maybe it does n't matter , even if they do settle this whole lawsuit thing . jj : your mom still thinks i 'm bad news . daniel : yeah , sure , i know paige . yeah , i had no idea that you were mother and daughter . eve : mm - hmm . daniel : she came to one of my surgeries . she observed not too long ago . eve : i know , and she was so impressed . she told me all about it . i mean , come on , who do you think urged me to find you ? daniel : oh , i had no i -- now i know , right here . eve : [ laughing ] yes . daniel : well , you must be very proud . eve : i am . daniel : she 's going to , uh , stanford in the fall ? eve : stanford , yes . yeah , i am . i 'm truly proud of her . and it 's a dream come true for the both of us , actually . daniel : well , i have a friend , uh , a doctor , who lives in palo alto . i 'll make sure paige has her name before she leaves . eve : are you -- you are the nicest thing . thank you so much . you know , i walked in here just so upset about my sister , and then ... wow . i -- i hope that we can be friends . daniel : of course , yeah . eve : well , good . you know what ? i got ta -- i got ta go . i 've got this meeting . daniel : okay , all right . eve : you know what , now ? daniel : yep , i 've got to -- eve : [ gasps ] sorry about -- now , hey , now that we do n't have this professional relationship , maybe , uh ... we could grab that drink sometime . shin : i would like to say welcome to our new co - ceos , the very beautiful ms . roberts and mrs. dimera . sami : [ laughs ] well , thank you gentlemen . kate : thank you all so much . this is indeed a historic day , and i think i can speak for mrs. dimera as well when i say that we are deeply , deeply honored . are n't we , sami ? sami : [ laughs ] kate : yes . sami : indeed . kate : yes . sami : thank you . rice : you 're welcome . ej : [ exhales ] abigail , my fate is in your hands . but it 's not just my fate . it 's samantha 's fate and the fate of our entire family . abigail , please . i 'm begging you . abigail : i doubt anyone would even -- would even think to talk to me about you . it 's not like anyone knows that we -- ej : yeah . abigail : what happened between us . ej : no , you 're right . i mean , i doubt anybody 's gon na contact you . but just in case they do -- abigail : do n't worry . i 'm not gon na -- i wo n't say anything about nick or about anything else . i do n't want anyone to suspect that we -- what we did , either . i 'd be -- i 'd be mortified . ej : sorry . abigail : you know ... it 's really sad , ej . you could have turned into someone so unique , so special . your brains , your drive ? you -- you could have done so much good instead of turning into who you are . they say as a boy mr. clean paige : my mom 's not our only problem . your mom just found out that i 'm the daughter of -- jj : she thinks you 're great . the best thing that ever happened to me . paige : am i ? jj : yes . but you 're the one headed for stanford . a 4.0 , the whole deal , and ... to your mom , i 'm a loser , a criminal . paige : no , you were never a loser . and you 've changed . jj : think i can convince your mom that 's true ? no ? not -- not even eventually ? paige : jj , there 's something about my mother you need to know , about her and guys . daniel : a drink . wow , that 's -- i -- eve : you do n't have to say yes , but i 'm hoping you wo n't say no . and just for the record ... daniel : hmm . eve : so we 're on the same page , this is just my way of saying that i think that you 're very interesting and very attractive . jennifer : no , i 'm not gon na give up , aiden . and trust me , i will not sign or agree to anything that you do n't approve first . but if eve thinks that she deserves half the royalties , that still leaves a lot of money for the veterans , right ? aiden : okay , i -- i got it . compromise is better than war , especially given your son 's situation . jennifer : yes , and this situation has been so tough . but you know what ? jack would have seen the funny side . [ laughs ] aiden : i 'm sorry ? jennifer : 'cause he knew eve so well . sometimes he even considered her a friend . and who knows ? maybe she even considered him a friend too , which is so amazing to me why she would want to wreck something that he wanted so badly . aiden : uh , and that 's the funny side ? jennifer : no , aiden , it is just -- it is so eve . i mean , when she gets involved with a man , any man , you just -- all i 'm saying is that i feel sorry for any man who winds up in her sights . daniel : look , the reason i hesitated is because i 'm sort of still working through my last relationship . i mentioned that the other day . eve : oh , yes , you did . and you know what ? i 'm sorry , i -- i do n't mean to press . i 'm just , um , hoping that maybe friendship is a possibility . daniel : i -- sure . yeah , i think that 'll work . eve : [ laughing ] okay , good . good . well , i do have a meeting , like i said . and , um , i hope that we 'll see each other around sometime . daniel : i 'm sure we will . you bet . eve : okay . daniel : all right . so long , and -- eve : wow . is this your handsome devil ? definitely takes after his daddy . sami : [ exhales ] oh , stop smirking . that letter was preposterous . kate : [ laughing ] oh , please . you would have done the same thing to me . sami : maybe , but i would 've done it better . kate : yeah , whatever . the point is , ej and stefano wo n't make a peep now . and if they do , they 'll just seem like complete fools . they could even be voted out at the next meeting . so we have six months . sami : that 's plenty of time for me . i plan to take ej on the ride of his life . one way , downhill . kate : oh , i can slice and dice stefano in six months . so ... partners ? sami : partners . jordan : no , rafe . out of town till tomorrow ? that 's just what i need . wait another day . kate : what are you doing ? are you talking to yourself ? jordan : i thought i was alone . kate : actually , i was just thinking about you . jordan : negatively , i assume . kate : oh , come on , jordan . i 'm not that person . truly , i hope you get everything you deserve in life . jordan : [ laughs ] uh - huh . kate : i 've had a lot on my plate lately . i have n't been able to keep up . so are you and rafe -- are you still on track ? no more bumps in the road ? i mean , not that i 'm prying , you understand . jordan : [ scoffs ] paige : mom , uh , see , when it comes to guys , men , she 's got this bad history . jj : okay . paige : sometimes she just hooks up with the wrong guy . i mean , it happens , you know ? nobody 's perfect . jj : right , yeah , but , i mean , what does that have to do with us ? paige : she sees me as ... i 'm like this jewel to her . and i know it sounds crazy , but she wants my life to be perfect , flawless , like hers never was . so she gets scared for me , you know ? jj : well , i mean , how about you ? are -- are you scared ? paige : of you ? [ laughs ] no , jj . never . maxine : help you with something , dr. dan ? daniel : uh , yeah , maxine , thanks . could you take this file over to dr. chung 's office ? he 's taking over this patient for me . maxine : he is , huh ? daniel : mm - hmm . maxine : i warned you , doctor . you need to work on your people skills , or you 're gon na lose all your patients . daniel : [ laughs ] okay , i 'll , uh , get started on that right away . no , the funny thing about this patient is she requested the change because she thought there 'd be a conflict , did n't want to put me on the spot . maxine : considerate . daniel : right ? yeah , and honest ... straightforward . jennifer : thank you for coming . eve : no problem . jennifer : um , this is my attorney , aiden jennings . aiden , this is eve donovan . aiden : hi , good to meet you . eve : nice to meet you too . aiden : mm - hmm . eve : well , jennifer , you did n't tell me i needed to bring my lawyer . jennifer : aiden 's leaving . it 'll just be the two of us . aiden : yeah , i will see myself out , okay ? jennifer : okay , thank you . aiden : take care . eve : well , well , well . is n't it just like you to hire a handsome man to be your lawyer ? jennifer : what is that supposed to mean , eve ? eve : oh , come on , give me a break . you always seem to have one hiding around to protect you . jennifer : can we not do this , please ? i just -- i want to talk . eve : talk . jennifer : okay . this is about the lawsuit . i want it to go away . eve : [ laughs ] i bet you do . really ? so how do you suppose you 're gon na make that one happen ? jennifer : by giving you what you want . ej : you look chipper . sami : [ laughs ] ej : how did the board meeting go ? sami : oh , it went fantastic . mr. shin was blown away . well , they all were . ej : of course , because they know what you are capable of . they saw what you did with countess wilhelmina . sami : and now i 'm gon na have a chance to shine even more . ej : what do you mean , shine ? sami : my new job as ceo . ej : [ laughs ] jordan : actually , kate , i do n't mind telling you . rafe and i are definitely on track . things could n't be better for us . kate : i 'm so happy for both of you . i mean , that 's what it 's all about , right ? being happy , staying happy . jordan : if you say so . see ya . kate : although , i do n't think the `` staying happy `` part is going to work out for you , tammy sue . [ click ] clyde : bingo . [ laughs ] well ... you got real good at staying gone , did n't you , tammy sue , huh ? but not good enough . i got you now , girl . and this time , i 'm not gon na let you go . paige : the problem is , whether or not i 'm scared does n't matter . if my mom gets something in her head -- jj : and if she keeps talking to theresa . paige : uh , uh - oh . your supervisor 's watching us . jj : w -- you know what ? i 'm gon na go tell him that i can do my shift some other time , all right ? we need to work this out . paige : no , we 'll be okay . i do n't want you getting on his bad side . i should go . jj : mm , man . uh , you know i -- i hate it when you say that . mm . paige : me too . daniel : so she came by to see me in person , wanted me to understand what was going on , so i would n't feel insulted . maxine : so this eve baron is obviously a nice lady . what 's she like , otherwise ? daniel : well , she 's got a real drive , a forceful personality . she 's got moxie . kind of like that about her . although , frankly , my guess is , she is a real handful . eve : [ laughs ] oh , my god , oh , my god , you have seen the light ! i 'm so proud of you . jennifer : this agreement is going to be very specific and binding . eve : well , yes , of course . jennifer : right , and once you sign it , this is gon na be behind us , okay ? eve : yeah , absolutely . i mean , that is , if it 's -- if it 's fair , of course . jennifer : yes , it 's fair . it 's exactly what i said , exactly what you asked for . all proceeds and royalties from jack 's book , we will split 50/50 . eve : well , jenn , that 's , um , mighty big of you to step up like this , but ... i 'm sorry , i do n't think that 's gon na be enough . ben : hey . abigail : hi , hey . ben : back for more , huh ? abigail : well , i owe you an apology . i 'm sorry that i ran off like that . i 'm not normally that rude . ben : it 's no problem . it 's my fault , anyway . going off on ej dimera like that ? you told me flat out , abigail . you have nothing to do with ej . but i had no reason to warn you . i just was n't listening . ej : [ laughs ] okay , good one . sami : [ chuckles ] ej : that 's priceless . no , seriously , what happened ? sami : they voted . kate and i were elected co - ceos of dimera enterprises . ej : okay , father would never have allowed that , samantha . why do n't you just tell me the truth ? sami : i just did . ej : and my father just did nothing ? come on , seriously . sami : well , he was n't there . kate had his proxies , and i had yours . i brought you the minutes of the meeting . is n't technology amazing ? i mean , ha , you could just get it all printed out so quickly . there was a digital recorder , and some computer somewhere else is getting it whipped up for ya . ej : no , no , no , no , samantha , you were supposed -- you were just supposed to go to the board meeting and -- and -- and -- and -- and ... oh , my god , samantha . what did you do ? sami : what did i do ? hmm . now , let me see . well , ej , i did to you exactly what you did to abigail , you son of a bitch . | sami was about to be announced as the ceo when kate reminded her that she needed her votes . sami had to read the letter kate gave her to the board members . eve went to daniel 's place to tell him that he could n't be her doctor anymore . aiden showed up at jennifer 's place to talk about her case with eve . eve explained that theresa is her half sister and that 's why he could n't be her doctor anymore . ej asked abby to use her discretion with the police . abby did n't want to lie for him . they continued to talk and then abby realized that he did n't want anyone to know she hired a hitman to kill nick . sami read to the board that ej wanted kate to be co- ceo with sami . clyde went through jordan 's things . eve told daniel that she got a new doctor . aiden discussed the lead that he found in jennifer 's case . ej and abby continued to argue about their situation . |

[ men laughing ] derrick : so you shoved me underwater just because i -- and these are your words here -- wiped the courts with you , huh ? what a sore loser . paul : you just have terrible balance , that 's all . derrick : yeah . so wish you were playing for the cubs now ? paul : ah , i wish i was playing for anybody . derrick : so much for baseball . abigail : [ sighs ] well , sonny , you 're wrong . chad does n't have feelings for me . he just pretended to so that he could pay me back . oh , damn ! i left my sunglasses there . chad : sorry . i , uh -- i do n't know what you mean . zoe : chad ... i 'm not abigail , okay ? i 'm a grown - up . i know you do n't want me to meet your nephew or eat hot dogs . you invited me to this picnic -- you dressed me for this picnic for one reason . chad : yes , and that reason is because if i have to attend the salem summer picnic , i would rather do it with somebody who is beautiful and interesting . zoe : no . you invited me to make abigail jealous . chad : [ scoffs ] what would give you that idea ? zoe : um , i have eyes ? chad : okay , yeah , well , maybe you should get them checked out , because what you 're seeing is n't there . zoe : [ scoffs ] look , i 've told you -- i 'm not looking for anything exclusive , but i do n't like to be used . chad : who 's using you ? zoe : you are . so why do n't you figure out your feelings about miss abigail and then get back to me ? chad : [ sighs ] ben : well , abigail will be here later . i do n't know where chad is , though . theo : why are n't they coming together ? ben : i 'm not sure .

ben : i think that when she gets here , the chances are real good . theo : yeah ! ben : real good ! let 's go . let 's go . abe : [ laughs ] chad : zoe ... look , i pay you to be the editor of sonix , not my shrink . i told you the reason i wanted you to come to the picnic was because my nephew was gon na be there and i wanted you to meet him . zoe : and so abigail and her hot boyfriend could see us frolicking with the kid . chad : okay , well , do you think he 's hot ? zoe : yeah , chad , i think he 's hot . but do n't worry . he is not as hot as you are . chad : okay , look ... here 's the deal . theo , my nephew ... he really liked hanging out with abigail and me , and i do not want to disappoint him , because abigail is ancient history . and she has been for a very long time . zoe : so , when i saw the way that you looked at her ... chad : you were imagining things . abigail and i are done , over , finito . zoe : [ chuckles ] hmm . you keep telling yourself that . maybe you 'll actually start to believe it . abigail : [ exhales sharply ] paul : hi . sonny : hey . paul : uh , you guys -- you guys remember derrick , right ?

lucas : no , no , i would n't do that . it 's not my place . plus , sonny and will have enough problems of their own . adrienne : hmm , right . and as usual , my timing is all wrong . but i feel i just ca n't wait any longer . i need to be honest with my boys , starting with sonny . what ? lucas : just wondering why you feel that you ca n't wait . is it because , uh ... you 've made a decision on where you want to go from here ? derrick : hey , uh , before we go play ... sonny : what ? derrick : i just wanted to apologize for the whole thing -- you know , telling you about will coming to see paul at the hotel and ... you know , if i had any idea will was your husband ... sonny : oh , that 's okay . i mean , how would you know that ?

[ sighs ] brady : look , you ca n't order hayley around . theresa : no , i just asked her to do me a favor so i could spend a few extra minutes with my baby . and you know what ? i 'm sorry , brady . i did n't realize that was a felony . brady : no , what it is , is you are using tate to get to me . i 'm not going to have it . it 's not going to happen . theresa : that 's not what i 'm doing . brady : really ? why have n't you found a bigger place by now to stay in ? have you even started looking for a bigger place ? theresa : yes , yes , of course i have . brady : well , then keep looking . look , i 'm going to make a deal with hayley so she spends half the week here and half the week with you and tate . but i 'm telling you , if you keep treating her like a servant , she 's not going to go for it . theresa : why are you so worried about what she wants ? for god sakes , brady , she 's your employee . you 've known her what , ten minutes ? brady : theresa , she 's a professional , and she is terrific with our son . theresa : oh , yeah ? how do you know ? you do n't spend any time here , and tate ca n't talk . brady : i checked her references . theresa : great , now you 're taking her side over mine . you know what ? i am so sorry , but i -- brady : no , no you 're not . no . cut it out ! now . you would n't do half of your daily routine . theresa : okay , look , i was just trying to say -- brady : i do n't care what you were trying to say . our arrangement stipulates that you 're supposed to be gone when i 'm spending time with my son . so stop coming up with excuses to intrude upon my time with him , because that 's not flying with me . theresa : i am not making any excuses , brady , okay ? i just -- i forgot where i put my tablet , because i was so emotional because it 's hard to say good - bye to your baby . brady : theresa , stop . give me a break . you 're living in this house . your baby 's right down the hall . but you and i might as well be living on different continents because we are going to lead separate lives . got it ? theresa : fine by me . brady : thanks . [ door slams ] adrienne : justin made the decision for both of us when he served me with divorce papers . but considering everything that 's happened , i really should n't be surprised . justin wanted out of our marriage . he slept with another woman and then used my infidelity as a green light to bail on me . lucas : and yet things still seem unsettled and tense . adrienne : well , of course they 're tense . lucas , you , above anyone , should understand what that 's like . you 've been through it . i mean , justin and i -- we share our boys . we have a history . lucas : yeah , i know . i know . i was n't talking about justin and you . i was talking about us . john : saw right through that one , did n't you ? paul : [ chuckles ] you really , uh , interrogate people for a living ? john : [ laughs ] paul : i do n't know . it made me feel like you -- you accept who i am . john : well , you know , when i found out that i had another son and that son was gay , i figured , `` i 'd better start getting with the program here . `` paul : well , i appreciate it . john : all right , so , now , tell me about this derrick guy . paul : derrick and i just play tennis . we 're friends . that 's it . john : oh , all right . well , it 's nice that you 've made another friend here . paul : yeah . yeah , i told mom that i 'm starting to feel pretty comfortable here in salem . john : yeah ? she okay with that ? paul : i think so .

[ sighs ] oh . [ scoffs ] you know , i did n't appreciate that little moment we had before in front of brady . i do n't know why you 're so determined to make me look bad . hayley : [ scoffs ] i do n't have to make you look bad . you take care of that all by yourself . theresa : let 's get a few things straight , cookie . i 'm the mother here , and you are the hired help , okay ? hayley : come on , tate , let 's get your bottle , huh ? theresa : [ sighs ] a new smoke detector ? oh , my god . seriously ? lucas : i 'm judging by your silence that today is n't the best day to talk about us . adrienne : you 've been so patient with me . i know i 've been distracted ever since i was served with those papers . lucas : it 's okay . it 's all right . i 'm not going to put any pressure on you . justin 's done enough of that . but what i do n't get , what i 'm having trouble figuring out is , especially at a time like this , i have n't seen you . adrienne : i know . lucas : talk to me . you can level with me , okay ? did you realize that you do n't want this divorce ? paul : i do n't know what you 're thinking about derrick and me , but i 'll tell you what i told my dad . derrick is an acquaintance who 's become a friend . will : well , i think it 's great that the two of you are friends , although it looks like you guys are a little bit more than friends . paul : i 'm not real sure what you 're insinuating here , will . will : well , it 's just -- i 've seen the chemistry between the two of you . why would n't you be interested in him ? he 's hot . obviously , he obviously thinks that you 're hot , so ... paul : why are you pushing this , will ? what are you so afraid of ? abigail : oh . [ chuckles ] theo is really into that inner tube ben brought . zoe : yeah . you should have told him to stop . abigail : why ? he was having fun . zoe : yeah , but you look a little green . abigail : oh , i was dizzy is all . zoe : yeah ? do you feel sick ? abigail : no , i do n't feel sick . i 'm just ... uh , spinning , and it 's a hot day , and , you know .... zoe : well , ben and chad can entertain theo . it looks like they 're actually getting along today . abigail : why would n't they be getting along ? zoe : i just thought ... but i guess i was wrong . oh , there 's a guy selling hot dogs . theo said he wanted one . how about i go buy some dogs and , uh , get the guys out of the water so we can have lunch ? abigail : yes . that sounds great . zoe : great . yo , hot dog guy ! abigail : oh , god , hot dogs . [ exhales sharply ] hayley : he 's digging it .

[ sighs ] it 's different this time than it was the last time . it 's not about hurt feelings or misunderstandings ... or trying to get the other person to listen . it 's just ... final . but i do n't want you to feel obligated to me in any way , either . lucas : what are you talking about ? obligated how ? adrienne : lucas , you are such a decent man . i do n't want you to blame yourself for this , and i do n't want you to feel like you have to rush into some kind of commitment to me . you and i ... i do n't think we 're in a place to make any kind of commitment right now . lucas : listen ... whatever we have is just starting . who knows where or how far it will go ? but i 'm okay with that . john : the case is n't closed , but xander 's pretty good at covering his tracks . you know , what we need is a break here , like somebody that 's close to him needs to roll on him . brady : like serena mason . john : or somebody who 's close to mr. cook , yeah . brady : keep me posted on that , all right ? john : yeah , i will . brady : oh , i heard something else . justin and kate , did they offer paul a spokesman gig for mad world ? john : yeah , it 's a fact . in fact , he 's going over the contract right now . brady : interesting . what if he signs it ? john : that means that he could be hanging out in salem for quite a while . will : who 's scared ? i 'm just telling it like i see it . paul : you 're seeing what you want to see . derrick and i play tennis . that 's it . will : if you say so . paul : does sonny know that you brought him here because you want him to think that something 's going on between derrick and me ? will : ah , hmm , mm , mm . i 'm here because i wanted to spend time with my husband and my daughter . paul : if that 's what you wanted , how come you did n't spread your blanket by the water so that your baby could play in the sand ? how come you picked a spot with the perfect view of the tennis courts ? will : paul , you ca n't really think that i organize my life around you . paul : let me tell you something , will . it is perfectly normal for two gay men to be friends without sleeping together . and you and sonny would know that if you had any gay friends . will : like you ? paul : this thing that you 're doing , these desperate antics to hang on to sonny ... all you 're going to do is push him away . will : do n't you start telling me what 's going to happen with sonny and me . derrick : whoo ! well , that was easy . you guys should have seen us . sonny : crushed 'em . everything okay ? chad : no , no , no , theo , you stay where i can see you , okay , buddy ? ben : [ exhales sharply ] chad : whoo ! hey , man , thank you for letting theo and me win that frisbee contest . you know , his therapist says it 's important for him to be winning right now and that kids like him need to build his self - esteem . ben : well , that 's good . but i did n't let him win . kid totally kicked my ass . chad : yeah , okay , well , then next time , he can be on your team . hey , hot dogs are here . hey , theo , come on , get a hot dog , buddy ! theo : with mustard and pickle relish ? abigail : yeah , that 's how you like them , right ? theo : where 's my hot dog ? abigail : oh , wait . you should probably dry off first . chad : okay , come on , buddy . i 'll get your back . zoe : okay , who wants a hot dog ? ben : me , right here . zoe : oh , you 're ketchup and onions , right ? ben : that 's me . zoe : there you go . ben : thank you . zoe : and this one is theo 's . could you hold that for him , abigail ? abigail : ooh . ah . yeah , sure . theo : hurry up , uncle chad . i 'm starving ! abigail : yeah , chad , hurry up . there you go . zoe : and here 's yours . and there you go , abigail . theresa : ugh ! that little bitch has finally pushed me too far . anne : ooh , which little bitch , and how 'd she do it ? theresa : tate 's `` phony as a three dollar bill `` nanny and i are in a pitched battle to see who will become mistress of the manse . anne : okay , so you think the nanny is after brady ? theresa : no , anne . i think she got into the nannying game so she could change dirty diapers full - time for the rest of her life for minimum wage . anne : [ babbles mockingly ] theresa : and it matters not to her that brady is attractive and available and loaded . anne : well , does she have a shot ? theresa : she 's not horrible to look at , if you ask me , but ... i guess if she 's your type . anyway , she tries to put me down in front of brady every chance she gets . ugh ! anne : all right , well , how does brady react ? theresa : how do you think , anne ? anne : like she 's practically perfect in every way ? theresa : pretty much . he 's all team hayley and treats me like i 'm just the egg donor . anne : yeah , well , you could take miss mary poppins ' flying umbrella and just shove it where the sun do n't shine . theresa : yeah , that would be great , except brady 's already afraid that she 's gon na quit because of me , and she 's great with tate , and ... [ scoffs ] god . what if my plan does n't work ? anne : plan ? what plan ? woman : how are you doing in there baby girl ? theresa : i just have to come up with some way to save tate from something really horrible , you know ? and then maybe brady would see me in a new way . anne : right . like a woman who would put her kid in jeopardy just to score points with his father . how 's that new , theresa ? theresa : anne , i would never , ever in a million years do anything to put tate in danger , okay ? so get that out of your head . anne : okay . theresa : i 'm just saying that if i can get brady to see me as a really great mother , then he 'll also see me as someone who 's worthy of his love and trust . anne : mm - hmm . oh , i have an idea . why do n't you try being a really great mother ? theresa : no , anne , the whole point is for brady to see me being that way , right ? i mean , he has this whole idea that we 're not going to be playing mommy and daddy together . anne : yeah , right . now he 's got this adorable suck - up nanny in the picture . theresa : yep , so , even if i do something and i can convince him that i 'm this wonderful mother , then that bitch is going to be there , and she 's going to get the credit for it . anne : what , she does n't have a day off ? theresa : no , and now they 've installed a nanny cam . anne : what ? where ? theresa : in tate 's nursery . anne : without telling you ? theresa : yes , anne . the whole situation has gone from bad to worse . [ sighs ] brady : i 'm glad paul 's sticking around in salem . i got to get to know him better . john : yeah , me too . brady : something happen ? john : no , i just dropped off some baseball equipment for theo at the picnic , and -- and paul was there with will and sonny . brady : is that situation still awkward ? john : yeah , it might be . but that was n't the problem . brady : what was ? john : well , paul was with another guy ... some guy that he said was just a friend , you know . brady : uh - huh . dad , tell me you did n't say something like ... `` are you sure he 's not more than a friend ? `` john : no . [ sighs ] yeah , yeah . brady : yeah , yeah . dad , dad , come on , paul 's a grown man . john : i - i - i know , but the guy seemed like a good sort . i mean , you know , he was nice . he was athletic . he dressed well . brady : so you assumed that he was ... john : [ sighs ] brady : we got to get your gaydar recalibrated . john : i just want him to be happy . i just do n't want him to go through life alone . that 's what i want for all my kids . brady : dad , i do n't think you 're going to have to worry about paul . he 's going to find the guy that he 's meant to be with . will : nothing happened . everything 's fine . paul : hey , um , you want to grab a bite , let these guys enjoy their afternoon ? i 'm starving . derrick : sure . paul : yeah , um , have fun with the baby . sonny : thank you . derrick : hey , maybe the four of us can do dinner sometime . that 'd be awesome . paul : yeah . sonny : [ sighs ] now that they 're gone , you want to tell me what 's really going on ? abe : hey , thank you again for making theo 's day . abigail : oh , my gosh . are you kidding ? i love doing it . abe : theo ? theo : thank you . ben : oh , hey , anytime , buddy . anytime . abigail : okay . we should get going . ben : all right . all right , guys , see you later . abigail : bye . chad : bye , abigail . zoe : hey , theo . you want to help me clean up the rest of this stuff ? abe : hey , uh , seeing you ... it really makes theo 's day . chad : well , it really makes my day too . abe : and your friend -- she seems like a very nice lady . chad : well , she is . zoe : oh , that 's a great watch . theo : it 's ben 's ! i did n't give it back ! chad : whoa , whoa , hey , hey . it 's okay . it 's okay . i 'll give it back to him , all right ? abe : hey , you know , it 's game time , buddy . theo : oh . chad : okay . hey , it 's good to see you . theo : bye ! [ both laugh ] abe : zoe , it 's nice to meet you . zoe : oh , it was nice to meet both of you . abe : take care . chad : see you . zoe : [ sighs ] chad : so , uh , did you have a good time ? zoe : i did . theo is a doll . chad : mm - hmm . zoe : and , uh , ben and abigail seem pretty solid , do n't you think ? chad : yeah , why would n't they be ? zoe : i 'm just saying . anne : okay , but how are you sure that they installed a nanny cam ? theresa : 'cause there 's a new smoke detector in tate 's room , all right ? and i 've seen these before , and i mean , to a normal , nonobservant person , it might not be a big deal , but -- anne : oh , right . no . yeah , but to abnormal , observant you ... theresa : stop being so flip about this , anne , okay ? it just so happens that this creep ex of mine got busted by that same smoke - detector camera , all right ? and the whole thing was horrible . i lost my entire stash and almost got arrested . it was crazy . anne : that must have sucked , obviously , but again , how do you know that in the smoke detector in tate 's room , there 's a camera ? theresa : i 'm sure , okay ? there 's 24-hour surveillance there . nobody bothered to tell me about it . i mean , you know , i know brady hates me , but i feel like i deserve to know . anne : hey , maybe ... maybe he did n't know . yeah . theresa : victor . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : ugh , that sly old bastard . you know , he would do anything to get something on me . anne : yeah , well , thank god you 've been a model mother . theresa : i know , but now he has eyes on tate the whole time , and ... oh , my god , that 's it . sonny : will ... brady : thanks for stopping by , dad . i 'm sorry you did n't get to spend more time with the baby . john : i feel that i 'll be back . brady , you know , i know i said i was staying out of your life , not gon na interfere , and i 'm not gon na . i just -- i do n't like theresa living in this house . brady : dad , i do n't like it either , all right ? john : no , i understand it 's your decision -- i get it . i mean , she 's tate 's mother , whether we like it or not , but ... if you can -- if you get the chance , get her out of here as soon as possible , because i think we both know that that girl is going to be nothing but trouble . brady : yeah . anne : hey , hey , hey , what are you stewing about now ? theresa : i - i 'm not stewing . i 'm just thinking , anne . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : why are we so afraid of technology , when it has the power to do so much good ? anne : what are you talking about ? theresa : the nanny cam , of course . okay , listen , this could be the thing i 've been waiting for . i mean , this could turn everything around for me . anne : yeah , well , it better be soon , because brady 's trying to get you kicked out of the mansion now , right ? theresa : yes , but with your help , i think we could fix mary poppins today . will : nothing happened between paul and me . sonny : will ... will : okay , he got a little defensive when i asked him about derrick . sonny : why would you ask him about derrick ? will : i was just trying to be friendly . sonny : what did you ask ? will : well , i mean , derrick -- he 's such a good - looking guy , and i just thought maybe -- sonny : you just thought you could figure out if they were sleeping together ? will : no . sonny : they 're just friends , will . will : how do you know ? sonny : because derrick told me . will : mm . so you were wondering the same thing i was .

[ sobs ] tripp : so , what are you doing here ? haley : i forgot my key . and you must have been in the shower when i knocked on the door , so i climbed up the fire escape and came in through claire 's window . tripp : no , what i meant was , are n't you supposed to be in china ? haley : oh . um , well , we were waiting to board our plane , but it turns out that my mother had an in with the senator who pulled some strings at the last minute , so here i am . tripp : so you 're here to stay ? haley : well , they 're letting me stay while i apply for my green card , so yeah , hopefully i 'll be here forever . tripp : that 's -- that 's fantastic . jj must be thrilled . haley : oh , yeah . yeah , no . he -- he definitely is . today 's actually the first day we 've -- we 've come up for air . he had to come back for work , and so i figured that i 'd stop by , get the rest of my things , and , um ... and just see how you 're doing . i heard about what happened with claire , and ... i 'm just so sorry you got hurt . tripp : i 'm fine . claire 's the one who isn't . haley : i just -- i still ca n't believe that was her who tried to kill us at the horton cabin . tripp : yeah , me neither . still ca n't quite wrap my head around it . victor : so claire tried to kill ciara . john : yup . victor : twice . john : yup . victor : good god . [ sighs ] well , listen . i got a bottle of bourbon hidden under the sofa there . would you get it for me ? john : yeah , sure . victor : feel like i 'm gon na need it . no , the other side . john : oh , of course . what was i thinking ? interesting place you keep your liquor , vic . victor : i was trying to get all the alcohol out of the house for maggie 's sake . john : yeah . well , i 'm sorry to hear that she 's struggling . victor : apparently she 's not the only one . what about ciara ? is she okay ? how 's she doing ? john : well , she 's , uh ... she 's -- she 's fine . physically . victor : claire ? what 's gon na happen with her ? john : well , she had a psyche evaluation done , so now we 're waiting for the judge to determine if she 's fit to stand trial or be committed to bayview . victor : did you tell her to talk to justin , see if maybe he can set up one of those deals where she 's an outpatient ? john : no , vic , that 's not gon na fly , man . what claire did was too serious . victor : oh , well , we 're family here . ciara 's not gon na press charges . john : it 's not about ciara , though . claire set fire to the horton cabin . i mean , she could 've killed tripp dalton and haley chen too . victor : who ? well , never mind . does n't matter . little claire locked up ? i ca n't see it . john : she wo n't have a choice . victor : the hell she won't . i could have the titan jet gassed up in an hour and get her out of the country asap . eli : john and marlena turned claire 's cell phone over to me . based on the voicemail , eve knew that claire was guilty , and she did n't do a damn thing about it . and not only that , she tipped off claire and told her that ben and ciara were setting her up to get a confession out of her . hope : she knew claire was unstable . she did nothing . how could she not see the danger both girls were in ? eli : two words : ben weston . hope : that bitch ! that -- ciara and claire could 've died , eli . eve : taking your own life is never the solution . claire : you do n't understand what i was going through , though . eve : claire ... yes , i do . because when i was your age , i tried to do exactly the same thing . claire : really ? eve : yes . i was lied to , bullied , hurt . and i thought the only way out was through a bottle of pills , but you know what ? i made it through . i made it through , and so will you , because you are so much stronger than i was back then . now , honey , you have so many people that love you . i should 've never , ever let any of this happen . claire : eve , no , no , no . you did n't do anything . eve : no , no . i knew that you were in trouble , sweetheart . i knew that . when you set those fires at the cabin , but i did n't say -- i did n't say anything , sweetheart . claire : well , yeah , because you were trying to protect me . eve : yeah , well that 's what i told myself , but the truth ... the truth ? i was just hell - bent on framing ben for what he did to my daughter , but nothing mattered , including making sure that you were all right , sweetheart . and i 'm so ... i 'm so sorry . well , i 'll just -- i will ... i will somehow deal with these -- with the consequences here . claire : what do you mean by that ? eve : your grandparents , they saw messages that i left on your phone and they realized that i 'm the one -- that i knew what you had done , and i did n't say anything . and i ... oh , i tried to deny it -- marlena : whoa , whoa . what the hell are you doing here ? this is hal . haley : just ... i feel so guilty . maybe claire would n't have gone over the edge if you and i had n't gotten married . tripp : no , no , that 's my fault , not yours . i did n't think about what this would do to claire . she was so ... so fragile . haley : yeah . well ... the good news is , since our marriage was outed as a fraud and has been officially annulled , you , tripp dalton , are no longer stuck being married to me . tripp : it was n't so bad . i got some really good wedding cake out of it . haley : oh , yeah , that was -- that was really good cake . tripp : yeah , it was . haley : hey , um , thank you so much for everything . you were the best fake husband i ever could 've asked for . [ gentle music ] john : i know you want to protect claire . she 's not well , vic . she ca n't run from this . victor : i 'll see to it she gets all the help she needs as soon as she 's safely out of the country . john : yeah , and then what ? do you really expect claire to be a fugitive the rest of her life ? victor : as opposed to what , being caged up like an animal ? john : you know , she stands a really good chance of avoiding jail time here , so no running . we just play this out . victor : at the risk of her freedom . no , i ca n't see it . i ca n't accept that . john : well , why do you think it 's up to you , vic ? doc and i , belle , shawn , you know , we know what 's best for claire right now , and that is , she has to face the consequences of her actions and get the help that she needs . victor : she always was a little troublemaker . i admired that about her . but this , i ... putting a match to her own aunt ? and those other two , i mean it 's incomprehensible . how could things have gotten so bad and someone not seen something ? john : well , actually , someone did . and they did n't lift a finger to help her . eve : i -- i just came to see how claire was doing . ciara : now you care about her ? marlena : you need to leave . claire : it 's okay , she can -- ciara : no , claire , it 's not okay . eve knew you were in trouble , and she did n't give a damn . eve : no , that is not true , ciara . ciara : did you know that claire was in trouble ? how long did you tell yourself that it was okay ? tripp and haley could have died . i could have died . she tried to kill herself because of you ! because all -- marlena : not the time . not the time . or the place . ciara : you 're right . [ sighs ] you are absolutely right , because eve will get everything that 's coming to her . you 're gon na lose your job . your freedom . everything that you love . and it 's exactly what you deserve . your life is over . eve : i know that you do n't believe this , but i ... i care deeply for claire , and i feel terrible about what happened to her . marlena : oh , i think you feel terrible because you got caught . let 's go . or should i call hospital security ? claire : grandma , wait . y - you have it all wrong , okay ? eve had no idea that i set the fire . she 's completely innocent . -and ... that 's your basic three - point turn . eli : since belle has n't allowed anyone to question claire given how fragile she is , eve refuses to drop the charges against ben , even though they 're bogus . hope : given that claire has admitted to it , she 's gon na have to . the judge is about to make a decision about claire 's future . where 's her phone now ? eli : i logged it into evidence . hope : evidence , well , i do n't think that 's the best place for it right now . not with eve as commissioner . i think it 'd be better if you moved it someplace less accessible , and the sooner the better . eli : yeah , i 'm on right now . hope : okay . eli : hey , hey , you called me about some unofficial police business . hope : it can wait . you just stay on eve , okay ? i do n't want her slithering out of what she 's done to my granddaughter . ciara : claire , you do n't have to cover for her . claire : i 'm not . i 'm telling the truth . marlena : we 'll talk about all this later . right now , you -- let 's go . eve : i 'll be thinking of you , sweetheart . marlena : [ clears throat ] eve : okay . claire : why are you here ? ciara : i wanted to see how you were doing . claire : what ? ciara , i ... i tried to kill you . you should hate me . ciara : i do n't hate you . claire : well , you should . you really should , because i hate myself . and look , i know it probably does n't mean much right now , but ... i am so , so sorry . [ melancholy music ] ben : what were you doing in there , eve ? eve : i came to see how claire was doing . marlena : you 're trying to manipulate her . you want to play on her sympathy so that she will side with you . eve : no , that is not true . marlena : well , it worked . because claire believes that eve knew nothing about those fires . eve : because it 's the truth . ben : no , it 's bull . eve , we heard the voicemail you left on claire 's phone . you knew what she did , and you tried to frame me for it . eve : ben , i was just doing my job . all the evidence pointed right to you as the arsonist . i mean , any reasonable person would jump to that conclusion . ben : there 's nothing reasonable about you . and there 's no way in hell you 're gon na get away with this . eve : are you threatening the police commissioner here , ben ? marlena : no . of course not . we 'd like you to know , though , that we 've turned claire 's phone over to eli . it 's now considered evidence . and your voice on that phone is going to sink you . eve : well , we 'll see about that , wo n't we ? victor : so eve donovan knew that claire was off her rocker and just kept the information to herself . john : yeah . victor : i always knew that lowlife was a piece of trash , but this a new low even for her . john : i 'm with you on that one , vic . victor : well , she 's not gon na get away with it , i promise you that . john : well , doc and i , we 're already working on it . victor : mm . all by the book , i 'm sure . well , if you do n't manage to put that bitch behind bars , we 'll do it my way . john : [ laughs ] let us handle this , okay ? victor : i 'm an impatient man . and the clock is ticking . john : i 'll take that as a yes . and ... i got ta run . i got ta get back to the hospital . victor : keep me updated . john : you know i will . victor : all right . and john , see to it that claire gets everything she needs . spare no expense . i owe to her ... and caroline and bo . john : yeah . victor : and john , give her a hug from me . john : i 'll do that , vic . ciara : tulips . these , uh ... these remind me of when we were little kids and ... our families met up in amsterdam for vacation . claire : we got into so much trouble that summer .

eve : well , theresa was vague , but , sweetheart , i am sure she was not making it up . paige : no . jj would have told me about something like that . eve : unless he knew it would force you to take a good , long , hard look at the boy he really is . me -- i 've ... i 've already made up my mind , sweetheart . but if we 're still a team and i 've opened your eyes about that boy , then you 're gon na realize that i have done you a very big favor . jennifer : sweetheart , if you get involved , you know that your relationship with paige -- jj : no , mom . no , i get it , but paige is not like her mom . she 's not gon na get caught up in all this crazy stuff . but i mean it -- you are not going through this alone . jennifer : [ sighs ] well , we 'll see , all right ?

[ sniffles ] how are we supposed to have fun again ? how am i just supposed to let go of this -- this awful sadness ? i ... [ both sigh ] ben : it 's called survival . realizing how fast somebody 's life can take a turn . how quickly things can change . just makes me that much more grateful for what i do have . ciara : knowing how fleeting it all is , you mean . ben : yeah . knowing that and ... well , i do n't know if i 'll ever be truly happy , given what i 've done in the past , but ... i can still feel love . and be grateful ... for the life i do have , and ... that i 've been given another chance to just be a decent person . i -- i 'm not gon na keep going on and on . i -- i do n't have all the answers or have the right to try and help anyone , but ... ciara : but you are helping me , ben . you always do . [ no audible dialogue ] you know , there was this time ... at bayview where i hurt myself . told the doctors that ... i was pretty damn sure that nobody gave a damn about me . i do n't feel that way anymore . because of you . i ca n't tell you what that means to me , because that 's what allowed me to let go of some of the pain . the guilt . the sadness . ciara , so many people love you . they are gon na be the ones to help you get through this . they 'll make the difference . just like you made the difference for me . [ tender , melancholy music ] -keep it down there . i have a system . ciara : i , uh ...

[ tender music ] eve : if you want me to resign as commissioner -- jack : that 's not what i want . you have to drop the charges against weston . eve : no ! jack : you will never make them stick . if a deal was made for claire to go to bayview , that means she made a full confession in front of one of your prosecutors and a judge . they know that she set those fires . eve : what , and then ben just gets to go free ? gets to have a girlfriend , a job , a life , and my daughter is six feet under ! jack , no ! jack : i 'm so sorry , but you have to do this . you have to let it go .

's job . he said he could keep working for us from the inside . nicole : hmm . is that why you did n't kill him ? if you and i own the d.a. -- nicole : yeah , he could prosecute us for kidnapping and attempted murder . [ scoffs ] enough stalling . kill them both . now . gabi : i -- i thought i was supposed to handle things down here ? stefan : your conversation did n't sound like party arrangements . chloe : yeah , you 're right . i was just telling gabi that i think the two of you deserve each other . gabi : chloe does n't know anything about our party . stefan : you 're kidding . it 's tonight . chloe : well , you 're not gon na find another venue with this late notice , so i 'll let you have your party here -- for triple the going rate . stefan : we 'll need the whole restaurant . chloe : okay , fantastic . i will go let my kitchen staff know and leave you lovebirds alone . gabi : [ scoffs ] we do n't have a menu . we do n't have a liquor order . we have nothing , and it is all thanks to nicole . stefan : gabi , for somebody who campaigned for this job , you 're doing a lot of bitching .

[ applause ] [ camera shutter snaps ] due to a series of missteps , the previous commissioner was unable to accomplish this . ciara : she 's throwing mom under the bus . eve : the guilty party is a troubled relative of ex - commissioner brady 's . thankfully , the fast action of our first responders prevented further tragedy from occurring , and the young woman responsible has made a full confession . she 's now in the hospital and receiving treatment . ciara : she 's saying mom was covering for claire ? you 're the one who knew about claire and did n't do a damn thing , you crazy bitch ! eve : this could have been dealt with sooner , but an overzealous police detective id 'd the wrong perpetrator . he will be dealt with accordingly . ciara : and now she 's going after eli ? ben : it is getting pretty crowded underneath that bus . eli : i 'm gon na go back to the squad room and see if eve made any attempt to follow up with kate 's call , and then i 'm gon na go have a little chat with xander . hope : all right , i 'm gon na catch -- got ta catch up with kate . see if she knows anything else about that day . i just wish there was more i could do . eli : hey , do n't worry , all right ? it may not be as bad as it seems . hope : hold on a second , okay ? watch your back . work quietly . if eve is covering up a crime , it 'll be dangerous for anyone she thinks is getting closer to the truth . eli : i 'm not scared of eve . hope : maybe you should be . [ door closes ] nicole : i 'm sorry , maybe i need to get my hearing checked . did i just hear you defy a direct order ? xander : oh , no , your ears are in wonderful shape . look , i 'll do a lot of things for you , but i draw the line at executing two people just because they got in your way . nicole : okay . fine . do n't kill them . just leave them in the basement to starve , and then you can tell your shiny new conscience that you did n't lay a finger on them . you know , i heard dying of starvation is easy . you just pass out and slip away . i am thinking of you , too . if those two do escape , then they 're gon na point the finger at the guy that put them in the basement . and then your promising new life here in salem will just -- poof ! blow up in smoke . is that what you really want ? gabi : so that is the traditional hernandez family margarita recipe . i think we should serve it tonight . stefan : salud . gabi : mm . stefan : [ coughing ] what the hell did you put in there , jalapeño ?

vivian : i want my son back . jack : so this jake person is really stefan dimera ? chad : apparently . gabi came by with these dna results , and they prove it , so now she can make good on that promise of hers that her and her dead husband can finally try to take back dimera . jennifer : well , you need to stop her . you can not let her do this to your family . chad : i could n't agree more . but i need to be in florida with abigail , so -- jack : i 'm not so sure about that . gabi : what the hell is this ? gwen : exactly what it looks like . i spent the night . gabi : how could you do that ? you just found out that we are married , and you slept with her ? gwen : well , we did n't do much sleeping , actually . gabi : those dna results , they prove that you are my husband . jake : okay , and i know how much they mean to you , but gabi , they mean nothing to me . gwen : which means that you mean nothing to him . gabi : okay , could you just give us a minute ? i have something that i need to discuss with my husband . gwen : and i have something to discuss with my boyfriend . jake : [ sighs ] gwen ... maybe we 'll talk later . gwen : if you think i 'm gon na leave you alone with your old lady here , you have another thing coming . limu emu & doug ciara : okay , look , i know that you 're still suspicious of claire , ben , i really just think that she 's trying to do the nice thing here . ben : you 're being naive . ciara , who gives a damn what she knows about jewelry . why would i want her with me , bossing me around about what diamond i should buy you . ciara : okay , well , you do n't have to let her be bossy . if you do n't like something that she picks out , you can just tell her no . ben : all right , i think i would do that without getting your permission first , but -- ciara : okay , no , i know . i know , you 're right . you wo n't let her push you around . i know that . i 'm sorry if it sounded like i thought that you would . i just -- look , ben , i feel really bad for her . okay ? she has gone through hell . i mean , thinking that her life was ruined , being so lonely and depressed and guilt - ridden in bayview , where she was trying to fix herself and she was trying to get help . and now that she 's out , she 's trying . maybe , you know , she 's trying a little too hard , but she 's trying , ben , to be sweet and caring and -- ben , she deserves a second chance , just like you did , remember ? please ? please , ben , come on . it would be so nice if you two could do this together . please . ben : okay , okay . ciara : thank you . claire : so ? ciara : pick me a winner . claire : oh , my god ! thank you , thank you . yay ! oh , we are gon na get you a spectacular ring for a spectacular wedding . chad : wait , you do n't think i should be with abby ? jack : we know you love abigail and you wan na be by her side , but chad , your brother rising from the dead ? this is huge . right ? and besides , just like you said , it 's just a matter of time before gabi and this stefan 2.0 comes after you and dimera enterprises . chad : i can handle that . jack : oh , i think it 's gon na be kind of a tough battle all the way from florida . jennifer : yeah , abigail would insist that you stay here and defend your family 's legacy , chad . chad : that 's true . she -- i mean , she hated gabi and stefan as much as i do , but i just -- i ca n't let her deal with what she 's going through alone . jack : she wo n't be alone . chad : what do you mean ? jack : i mean jennifer and i will be with her . gwen : [ sighs ] really ? after everything that we did last night , you 're kicking me out ? jake : i will call you later . gwen : well , maybe i 'll answer and maybe i won't . oh , god . you know , fun fact about your husband , here . he 's a loser . did you hear that ? and a womanizer . and a cheating , bloody , selfish bastard . yes , i called you a bastard . jake : that part 's true . gwen : loud and clear . so take some advice from me . i would n't trust him with my heart if i were you . bloody hell , i 'm fed up . jake : not that i owe you an explanation , but me and gwen -- i was just trying to forget about everything . just for one night . gabi : great , yeah . well , while you were busy forgetting , i have spent every single minute thinking about how i 'm gon na get your memory back . jake : any luck ? gabi : [ laughs ] i need the serum , and i need to talk to rolf . jake : last time you asked rolf to help you out , he set you up to go to prison . what makes you think he 'd help you out this time ? gabi : i know . that 's why i need to talk to your mother so she can talk to him , but the problem is , vivian and rolf are locked up in completely different places . kate : oh , you really think this jake person is stefan . vivian : gabi hernandez had a dna test done . i saw him in the flesh . a mother knows her son . kristen : vivian , what do you want me to do ? vivian : i want you to go to wilhelm rolf and get that serum so my son can get his memory back . apparently , he has a soft spot for you because of your relationship with stefano , is n't that right ? kate : i supposed so . vivian : of course he does . so if you do that , i will take the truth of the fact that you shot me in cold blood to my grave . and if you do n't , i will tell all . eli : what the hell is going on in here ? these are real people , not actors , chad : you 're offering to go to florida ? jennifer : yeah , i mean , the kids really want you here , chad . jack : but we know they love their grandma and grandpa , but they 're telling us they need you , so let jennifer and me do this . we 'll get on the first plane . we 'll go there now . chad : you guys have a newspaper to run . jack : we -- uh , look , you stay here , hold down the fort . i will go . jennifer : no , no . jack , listen , abigail needs me right now , so i will go , and the two of you can stay here with the kids . chad : if anything happens , and i mean anything , i 'm on the first plane . jack : deal . chad : who knows , maybe this whole thing will blow over faster than we think . jennifer : yeah . chad : this stefan guy will realize gabi 's a trainwreck and get the hell out of dodge . jennifer : well , here 's to hoping , right ? but what is important is that you guys will be here with the kids . chad : yeah , i should go pick them up from julie 's . jennifer : okay . chad : thank you . jack : hey , chad , you do not have to thank us . we 're family . jennifer : that 's right . we love you . eli : one of you had better answer me . what 's going on here ? kate : well , i heard that vivian was back in town , and given the fact that she 's responsible for a bullet hole in my chest , i just wanted to make sure that she was locked up so she would n't hurt anyone else . lani : believe me , she won't . eli : kate , you know better than to be in here . lani : the desk sergeant out there told us how you flashed your mayor 's office i d card in his face and just blew right past him . now i do n't think my father will be too happy to know that you are using your position to break protocol , kate . kate : well , i was just leaving , anyway . you see , i have a very important appointment with my doctor . vivian : good luck on that . kate : thanks . lani : i 'll make sure she 's going . vivian : oh , detective price , you have nothing to fear from me now because it seems you did n't kill my son after all . gabi : vivian would talk to rolf , but i got ta break her out of jail first . jake : you can just do that ? gabi : that 's doubtful , considering she tried to kill a police detective in front of witnesses . jake : okay , so what now ? gabi : i got ta find another way to get to dr . demented . but i need you to promise me something first . jake : oh , yeah ? what 's that ? gabi : promise me that until i get that serum , you 're not gon na sleep with gwen or anyone else . jake : ha ! eli : we knew gabi was running a dna test . it 's a match ? vivian : mm . lani : jake lambert is -- vivian : yes , my son . my son , stefan . he 's alive , by the grace of god . of course , he has n't got his memory back , but he will soon . oh , and by the way , i 'm so sorry about that mess at the wedding . chad : yeah . jake lambert . he 's from philadelphia . yeah , get me everything you can on him . thanks . gwen : uh . chad : bad day ? gwen : yeah , you could say that . it was going great until this -- [ sighs ] dimera bitch just showed up and ruined everything . chad : did you say dimera ? gwen : yeah . gabi dimera . why ? you know her ? chad : i do . why do n't i get the next round . you can fill me in . gwen : [ laughs ] yeah . jake : i 'm not promising you anything having to do with my sex life . what makes you think i would do that ? gabi : because we are married . we took vows . we exchanged rings . i have mine right here . before you were viciously ripped out of my life , you promised me that we would have the rest of our lives to love each other . that 's all i want . and i know that 's what you want . i just have to prove it . i need a little bit more time . jake : fine . i will not sleep with anybody temporarily . but do n't go reading into this . i 'm doing this for me , not you . gabi : fair enough . can we shake on it ? jake : complete celibacy until we find out who i am . that goes for you , too . gabi : not gon na be a problem . and once you remember everything , you 're gon na see it was worth the wait . claire : hey , can you believe what a great price that salesman gave you ? ben : you are a good negotiator . claire : mm - hmm . it 's kinda my thing . hey , and that ring is just so perfect , ben , in every way . ben : yeah . it is great . claire : yeah . yeah . ben : thank you for your help . claire : hey , totally my pleasure . [ beeping ] and look at that . i think your fiancée should be here any minute , so i 'm gon na let you two have some alone time . bye . ben : bye . claire : oh , do n't forget to post a picture . ben : mm . ciara : hey , baby . ben : hey . ciara : where 's claire running off to ? ben : oh , she had somewhere to be , but check this out . ciara : what ? ben : no wincing this time . ciara : oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . you found it ? you found it already ? ben : ciara ... ciara : ben -- ben : alice brady , i am the luckiest man on earth to be marrying you , and i want you to have this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love . ciara : [ exhales ] [ dramatic music ] um -- ben : what the -- | lani had a dream that vivian was trying to kill her . eli assured her that vivian would n't be able to hurt her . gwen thought she and jake were getting back together until he let her know that was n't ready to get back together . she thought he wanted to be stefan and be with gabi . gabi wanted chad to get stefan 's memory back . claire told ciara and ben that she got money from victor and paid for the wedding dress . ben thought it was strange since she said she did n't ruin it . ciara thought what she did was great job . claire wanted to help her with jewelry since she was wearing a hunk a metal on her hand . ciara informed her that it was her engagement ring . kate went to see vivian at the police station . she reminded vivian about what she did to her . vivian wanted to know if she was going to shoot her again . kate made it seem like she might have a gun in her pocketbook . gwen was n't happy that jake was brushing her off . he explained how he was practically being forced to be stefan . he just wanted to be with someone who know who he was at the time . gwen thought he used her , but he wanted to hold on to something familiar . he liked being with her , but she was n't impressed with that comment . she wanted to know if they were back together or not . chad could n't believe that gabi wanted him to help her . she said that he was going to go to rolf and get him to help stefan get his memory back . chad reminded her that she was going to take dimera enterprises from him . she said that she could do it . chad told her that he would n't do it . gabi got upset and said he would remember her without his help . ciara explained why she 's wearing a washer . she told claire that she and ben were going to the jewelry store . claire wanted to know if she could go too . chad was looking at the paternity test results when jack and jennifer walked in the room . he told them that stefan was alive . gwen climbed on top of jake and wanted to know if she was worth fighting for . gabi showed up at the garage and he wanted gwen to hide . she refused to be treated like the other woman and opened the door . she let gabi see how she was with jake . vivian did n't think kate would be allowed to be at the police station with a gun until kate pulled one out . |

[ scene_break ] kate : eugenia , i am going to ask you this once and only once . are you blackmailing me ? eugenia : of course not , kate . i mean , you 're much too powerful . i 'd never get away with it . kate : you 're right about that . eugenia : but you promised me a job if i helped you break up lucas and sami , remember ? and i 'm getting real tired of juggling three no - benefit , minimum- wage gigs just to pay my bills . kate : honey , look , the economy 's getting better . you just have to hang in there . eugenia : well , okay , i 'm serious , kate . things have gotten so bad that i had to send dino to live with one of my friends because i was never home to walk him or feed him . and you know how much i love that dog . kate : i know , but there is no way that i can give you a job at basic black . eugenia : what ? are you going back on your word ? because if you are , all bets are off . [ scene_break ] lucas : eugenia willens ? sami : lucas , she and your mom were in on it together , and i am gon na prove it . lucas : what are you saying , huh ? there was a conspiracy against you ? sami : damn right there was . lucas : sami , do you know how crazy that sounds . sami : they were hanging out a lot together back then . i saw them together , and they obviously were plotting the whole time . lucas : all right , fine . if you 're right , if my mom was really behind this , which i do n't think she was , but if ... why would she recruit eugenia of all people ? sami : because it 's exactly what i would have done . damn it ! i underestimated her . she got me by thinking exactly the way i do . the way i did . that 's what i meant . i 'm not like that anymore . lucas , all i want to know is if i can find a way to prove it , are you willing to give us another chance ? lucas : if you can prove it ... yeah , i will give you another chance . sami : lucas , thank you . lucas : you know what , sami ? that is only if you can prove it , and i do n't think you can . sami : well , i do . lucas : it does n't matter . i 'm gon na mail some stuff off to will this afternoon , so if you want to put anything in the package , you just come by , okay ? sami : i will prove that kate is guilty .

[ scene_break ] philip : thank you for doing this , honey , but i think maybe in the future we should just hire a nurse , okay ? belle : why ? did i hurt you ? i can be more careful . philip : ow ! [ grunts ] belle : oh , my god , i did hurt you . philip : no , no , no . it 's not you . the doctor said these phantom pains would ... still be going on for a while . [ sighs ] it is the strangest thing . belle , i swear , it feels like i have my foot . i can feel my leg . and then i start to think that this has all just been some nightmare that i 'm waking up from , but it 's not . all it is is my nerve endings playing tricks on my brain . it 's just ... [ exhales sharply ] ow . pretty nasty - looking , though , is n't it ? belle : it 's still healing . philip : yeah . it 's probably even harder for you to look at than it is for me . this is what i 've been telling you . all this -- this is not what you signed up for . belle : i signed up to be your wife , okay ? for better or worse , in sickness and in health . if this had happened to me , you 'd be right here , right by my side . this is just something we 're gon na need to get used to . that 's all . philip : it would just be so much easier if you did n't have to look at it . belle : if you want to hire a nurse tomorrow , you can . but today i 'm taking care of you , so you just need to sit back and stop complaining and enjoy it . philip : [ sighs ] okay . [ scene_break ] lucas : mom , who was on the phone ? kate : oh , that was joelle . she 's such a doll . she 's covering for me at work so i can concentrate on philip . lucas : that 's nice of her . you should remember that around christmastime . kate : oh , believe me , i will . lucas : good . i 'll get dressed . then we 'll go see philip . kate : so , honey , what was sami doing here , anyway ? no , no , let me guess . what , was she rambling on about how i set her up , how i was the one at fault for her winding up with brandon , in bed with brandon the night before her wedding -- the wedding that i busted my butt to arrange and then un - arrange ? and then what did she do -- try to seduce you or coerce you into getting back together again ? am i right about this ? lucas : yeah , you 're right . what , are you psychic ? kate : no , that 's because that 's the only song that jukebox plays . lucas : do you swear -- i mean , do you still swear that it 's not true ? kate : honey , how -- how could i have possibly done anything like that ? lucas : i do n't know , mom . sami 's convinced . she 's very determined to find proof . kate : well , she 's not gon na find any proof , because nothing happened , lucas . lucas : well , if something did happen , i mean , if she does find some kind of proof , i will never , ever be able to forgive you , mom -- not only for what you 've done , but the fact that you lied to me . kate : who do you believe -- her or me ? lucas : i believe you ... 'cause i believe you 'd never be that stupid . i mean , you 'd never betray my trust like that , right ? you know you 'd lose me . you 'd lose your son and your grandson , mom , permanently . kate : [ sighs ] lucas : oh , we wo n't talk about it too much . i 'm gon na go get dressed . then we 'll go see philip , all right ? kate : okay . relax . breathe deep . nothing 's gon na happen . [ sighs ] i have all my bases covered . there is no way that sami can prove that i was behind what happened -- no way . eugenia : you better come through with that job , katie - kate , and i 'm not talking entry - level , either . otherwise , that evidence that you do n't think exists is gon na destroy you . sami : eugenia is the key to proving that kate set me up . and i know her -- she must have some evidence saved . and i 'm not gon na rest until i get it out of her . [ scene_break ] hope : shawn would have found a way to germany whether i gave him the money or not . bo : probably , but you did n't have to make it so easy for him . i told him not to go , but you did n't seem to care . and now he 's missed his court date . judge fitzpatrick could find him in contempt , or worse . hope : look , there is no reason why she would n't grant the continuance . for god 's sake , it 's not like our son is a criminal , a threat to society . bo : she may not see it that way , hope . when he drove his motorcycle through that church window , he was drunk and high . he caused a fire . people could have died . she might think he is a threat , not only to others , but to himself and his own future . hope : that 's not true . bo : what is she looking at here ? a kid who 's got no job . he dropped out of school . his only ambition is to get belle back . hope : because he loves her , the same way you and i love each other . bo : she is married to someone else . hope : we do n't know what happened in germany . bo : yeah , only because your son wo n't call us back . hope : bo , please ... put yourself in your son 's shoes . bo : i know he loves belle . but if he keeps screwing up like this , it wo n't matter if she leaves philip , because our son will -- he 'll be spending the next 10 or 15 years in jail . hope : who are you calling ? bo : i 'm trying to call shawn . i 'm gon na keep calling him until i find out what the hell 's going on here . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : the point is belle and philip are not sleeping together . mimi : what if they are ? shawn d. : they 're not , and they 're not going to be . [ cellphone rings ] mimi : do n't want to answer it ? shawn d. : i know who it is , and i do n't want to talk to them . [ telephone rings ] mimi : hello ? hi , mr. brady . bo : well , congratulations , mimi . i heard rex found proof of your innocence . glad you 're out of jail . mimi : so am i . bo : you 're lucky to have a guy like rex on your side . mimi : do n't i know it ? your nephew is quite a guy . bo : of course he is -- he 's a brady . speaking of which , is shawn around ? mimi : um , i do n't know -- i just woke up , and rex went out to get some kind of surprise for me , so i ... bo : okay . well , if you see him or hear from him , have him give me a call right away . mimi : absolutely . as soon as i see him , i will give him the message . bo : all right , then , enjoy your freedom . [ scene_break ] mimi : [ chuckles ] why did n't you want to talk to your dad ? shawn d. : 'cause the last thing i need right now is another lecture from him . he treated me like i 'm 15 . he thinks i should back off from belle , that she should stay with philip just because she 's married to him . mimi : what about your mom ? shawn d. : well , she 's cool . she understands what love is . and she believes that belle and i belong together . she 's the one who gave me the money to fly to germany . mimi : hmm . shawn d. : i - i just -- i do n't know how much longer i can do this , meems . belle staying with philip -- the only thing that is keeping me sane right now is knowing that belle is more like philip 's nurse than his wife . [ scene_break ] philip : [ breathing deeply ] thank you , belle , for taking care of me , for loving me , and , most of all , for not giving up on us . [ scene_break ] mimi : hey , shawn , you have a letter from the courthouse . shawn d. : i 'll deal with it later . mimi : it looks pretty important . shawn d. : uh , it 's -- no , it just probably has to do with the trial . mimi : then do n't you think you should read it ? shawn d. : it 's no big deal . they were just trying to move my date up when i went to germany . but uncle mickey probably postponed it again . mimi : and what if he did n't ?

[ muffled indistinct shouting ] [ scene_break ] sami : ew . all right , sami , think like eugenia .

[ clears throat ] um , who , uh , did you want me to call next ? abigail : um , there 's , uh -- right , um ... there 's a woman that melanie went to see a couple of times when her mom was in bad shape -- a shrink . i remember the name . cameron : that 's privileged . abigail : even if melanie 's in danger ? come on , cameron , you 're a doctor . ca n't you at least -- at least try to talk to her ? please ? cameron : okay . give me the name .

sami : well , that 's exactly why you did n't tell me about it because you knew i would never give my approval , not in a million years . ej : the reason i did n't tell you about it is because i knew that you would n't be able to keep your bloody mouth shut ! sami : [ exhales ] daniel : i thought we agreed that our conversation about jj was between us . maggie : i made it worse . i 'm sorry . daniel : and i know that 's the last thing you wanted to do , i just -- i think we all need to just leave this alone right now . maggie : what does that mean ? daniel : well , it means that jennifer and i -- we are gon na take a break . maggie : a break ? why ? daniel : look , i really do n't want to talk about it right now . maggie : but after the last -- daniel : no , i really do n't wan na talk about it . theresa : thanks . caroline : you know , um , i have a vacant apartment upstairs . theresa : grandma , i already told you -- caroline : well , i - i know . i know you want to be on your own . but you know , it 's rent - free . and you ca n't beat tom 's cooking . theresa : grandma , i did n't come to sponge off family . caroline : according to your mother , you did n't want to come to salem at all . theresa : well , my parents just wanted to get rid of me for a while . caroline : they just wanted you to get a fresh start . theresa : [ scoffs ] caroline : they love you very much . kayla told me that you 're gon na be working with jennifer horton at the hospital . have you met her ?

i 'm not really in a position to give relationship advice , but i do see a lot of couples who come in here for counseling . it 's very difficult to work through your relationship when you 're not talking . so maybe this is something that you and daniel need to deal with together . daniel : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to hurt your feelings . i know you love jenn and you love me , but what would help the most is for you to not help . i 'm sorry . maggie : no . mm - mm . i understand . but , daniel , i 've known jennifer longer than you have , and i 'm telling you , she does not want to be alone right now . eric : putting your son first does not mean you have to exclude everyone else in your life . jennifer : eric , i know that , but -- eric : do you love daniel ? tell him . from my experience , it 's never the wrong thing to do . maggie : do you want to take a break ? well , then be honest with jennifer . you love her . tell her so . justin : take look around , adrienne , what do you see ? what do you see ? 40 rooms , a cook , a butler , a pool , hot tub . do you have a problem living here , knowing where uncle victor made his money ? adrienne : no . no , because you helped victor turn his business around to something we could all be proud of . justin : uh - huh , and so you think ej is n't capable of doing that . adrienne : oh . justin : look , you know what ? i really do n't care what people are saying about this deal . i really do n't care , because it 's all on the up - and - up ! so you can just keep on second - guessing me and -- and taking this morally superior tone , which is , as i pointed out , hypocritical at the very least . but that 's your problem , not mine . adrienne : it 's not all about you , justin . justin : oh , i know , i hate thinking about other people ! adrienne : our son is living with will horton ! his mother 's about to marry ej dimera ! does n't that concern you in the least ? justin : no , it does n't ! sonny is a grown man , and i trust him to make the right decisions . but lately , i 'm not sure i can say the same thing about you . sami : are you kidding ? i ca n't keep a secret ? that is ridiculous . i am the best liar , e best secret keeper on the planet . [ scoffs ] that night . the other night in bed when i was trying to cuddle with my fiancé , and you had to take that important call -- that was about this , was n't it ? you were planning stefano 's downfall instead of being in bed with me ? oh , so romantic . ej : i was planning our future . sami : and all those work emails , those mysterious work texts you were getting . ej : you know , samantha , any of those emails or texts would have only served to worry you had you known what was going on . i was trying , much to your horror now , evidently , to protect you so that you would not have to worry , so that you would not have to fret . i was also trying to protect myself , stupid fool that i am , from being driven crazy by you . sami : oh -- that is so unfair . ej : let me tell you what is unfair , samantha brady . what is unfair is that you now have the entire world at your feet , but instead of celebrating this incredible windfall , you are gon na bitch and moan because you were n't involved in the planning stages . sami : oh , my god , you are missing the point . you left me out of the planning stage of this because you knew i would never agree to it . i would never , in a million years , have agreed to you making a mortal enemy out of stefano dimera , because now he will dedicate himself to getting revenge against you , me , and our children ! everyone 's hair breaks . ej : if you would just listen to me for one second instead of running your mouth off like some petulant adolescent -- sami : i have been listening , ej , and that is the problem . ej : samantha , i have all the power ! i have it ! my father has none ! nothing ! zip ! all right ? it 's all mine ! what would you like me to do to communicate this to you so that you can grasp it ? shall i have it written in the sky ? would you like me to put it on the dimera blog ? sami : so stefano has nothing . ej : oh , by george , i think she 's got it . sami : he 's penniless . ej : no . he 's not penniless . but everything of any import -- the company , the jet , the house -- that is all mine . sami : so what about his pride ? did you take that from him too ? did you take back his need for revenge ? have you forgotten what he 's holding over us ? or do you just not care ... that stefano dimera is not the kind of man who is just going to crawl away and disappear ? no , i 'm pretty sure he 's going to be licking his wounds and planning his revenge , his vengeance , against you , and anyone who stands in his way will be history , including my son . he has evidence that could put will in prison . but you 're too busy dealing with your daddy issues to realize that i might lose my son forever ! jennifer : [ sighs ] if he thought i was sending him mixed messages before ... maggie : what is it ? daniel : you know what ? jenn 's the one that wanted the break . so unless i hear otherwise ... i have to respect it . [ sighs ] caroline : why would n't you and jennifer horton hit it off ? theresa : well , she definitely wo n't like me if i 'm late on my first day , so i better get going . caroline : all right , well , just stop by for lunch anytime . theresa : thanks . i will . grandma ... when i saw you in the hospital in california , i was really scared . i 'm so glad you 're doing better . caroline : you still have to be patient with me . theresa : [ laughs ] like you have n't been patient with me ? god , i mean , if i did n't have you to talk to , i -- caroline : you can always talk to me , jeannie . theresa . theresa : [ laughs ] caroline : i love you . theresa : i love you too . caroline : now you knock 'em dead . oh -- not literally . theresa : yeah , i 'll do my best . kristen : i 'm not comfortable meeting in public , but with everything imploding at my house , i did n't have a choice . chyka : i have n't been able to get in touch with your father . kristen : yeah , do n't even bother . did you get the photos that i emailed you ? chyka : right here . you know , your average doctor would never think to order these tests . kristen : daniel 's not your average doctor . so what does it show , anything ? chyka : no . the masking agents have done their job . the drugs you administered remain undetectable . kristen : great . fantastic . all i 've got ta do is one more thing . it 's all gon na come out when and where i want it ... to the people i want to show it to . there are women who sacrifice so much . ej : how dare you insinuate that i do n't care about william ? if i thought for one second that my father was going to use that evidence , do you really think that i would 've done what i did ? sami : i do n't know what to think anymore . ej : samantha , i would never do anything to put william or any other member of our family in jeopardy . why do you think i planned what i did down to the last detail ? sami : i would love to hear the details . ej : oh , well , get comfortable . my father is not going to expose william , because if he did that , he would expose his relationship to bernardi , and we know , by virtue of the fact that he went crawling out of town , that he does n't want to do that ! besides which , my father likes william . if he 's going to hold a vendetta over anybody 's head , it 's going to be mine . sami : right , because stefano always plays fair ? he knows better than anyone that the best way to hurt you would be to hurt the people you love . ej : [ scoffs ] samantha , we do not have to worry about stefano anymore ! sami : you saying that , you shouting that at me , does not make it true . you are standing there callously , irrationally being so cavalier about -- about the safety of our children ! if you think stefano is n't gon na come at you guns blazing , then you are a fool . ej : okay . i have a question for you . if i 'm such a fool , if i 'm so callous , if i 'm so irresponsible , so deluded , if i do n't love you or the children enough to protect them and put their lives first , then what the hell are you doing marrying me ? hmm ? [ eric and kristen panting ] eric : god , i want you . like i 've never wanted anything . kristen : i feel the same way . eric : shh . do n't talk . shut up and kiss me . kristen : you know , i 'm sure this is the biggest vicarious thrill of your lifetime , but could i please have my tablet back ? sarah : i 'm afraid it looks a little like soft porn . i mean , not that i would know exactly , because -- kristen : could you please just stop the editorializing ? all i want is your absolute assurance that nobody 's gon na be able to tell that that video was edited . and any traces of eric 's sad , little protests are gon na be excised completely . i 've worked very hard on this , and i need it to succeed . it has to be a megahit . daniel : oh !

'd . jj : i panicked , and i called daniel , dr. jonas . eve : i know dr. jonas . jj : he saved theresa 's life . he told me to leave because he knew that if i got caught , that i could go to jail . eve : and that 's what you did . jj : i should 've stayed . i 'm not proud of any of it . not only was it cowardly , but it was dumb . because when theresa came to , she remembered everything . and she pretended for months that she did n't . and then she turned around and blackmailed me . eve : how 'd she do that ? jj : she kept saying that if i did n't get her drugs , she 'd get me thrown in prison . marlena : i see . jj : she would n't let me tell anyone because she was just desperate to keep my mom and daniel apart . eve : because she wanted him for herself ? jj : how 'd you know ? eve : well , my dear sister wants every man for herself . so you extricated yourself from a situation by setting her up and then blackmailing her back . jj : well , i knew she 'd the bait , and she did . she fights dirty , so you got ta fight dirty back . eve : hmm . took me a long time to learn that , jj . but i realize that is the only way to deal with her . jj : yeah , it took me a long time too , but i feel like the best way to deal with her is just to avoid her all together . eve : you 're a smart boy . maybe i should n't be so hard on you . jj : really ? eve : i 'm not ready for a group hug or anything , okay ? jj : [ laughs ] no , no . i 'm good . i did n't come here to defend myself to you . i came here to talk about my mom . eve : what else is there to say , jj ? jj : i do n't think you have any right to go after her for my dad 's book or the movie rights . eve : actually , i have every right . abigail : sami , i wanted to tell you the truth . i wanted to tell you everything . sami : when ? when ? abigail : right before your wedding , i came to your office to see you . sami : oh , but you somehow managed not to say that part . what stopped you ? abigail : ej . sami : really ? ej what ? ej threatened you ? did he threaten to kill you ? did he threaten to kill your whole family ? 'cause that 's pretty much the only thing that would justify you not saying anything . and i think you should keep going . your mom here , look at her . she 's kind of shocked . maybe you should enlighten her on the rest of it , you know . do you want to talk by talking about the shower ? at the company changing room ? abigail : sami , no , please . sami : you tracked him down at his place of business and had sex with him in the shower . what -- you just said , `` ah , as long as sami does n't find out , it 's all cool with me . `` jennifer : sami , would you please stop it ? sami : i 'm not done yet . jennifer : sami , this ca n't be true . sami : it is true . i know it 's true . i know that you were naked in the shower having sex with my husband where anyone could 've walked in on you . because someone did . me . i 've had surgery , and yes , i have occasional constipation . jj : i do n't think my mom should owe you a penny . but she actually offered you what you asked for , and you still want more ? eve : well , maybe you want to hear my side of the story . please , jj , sit down . thank you . jj : i 'm listening . eve : well , i 'm quite certain that you really do n't know what it 's like to struggle financially , do you ? i mean , coming from one of the first families of salem as you do , and boarding school in britain , fencing lessons , bail at your ready whenever you needed it . you ever wanted for anything , jj ? jj : nothing material . no . eve : well , listen . paige and i are n't poor , do n't get me wrong . i do n't want anybody to feel sorry for us , all right ? see , i ... [ sighs ] i make just enough money so that my beautiful , talented daughter who was accepted into stanford , her dream school -- she does n't qualify for financial aid . i mean , have you ever wanted for anything like that ? have you ever needed anything like that or worried ? jj : no . eve : okay . but you were n't accepted into stanford now either , were you ? right ? well , i would sacrifice anything , anything to send her there , but i 'm not a magician . and because i have nodules on my vocal cords , i ca n't look to make extra money singing . not until i have a surgery which also is very , very expensive , and -- jj : i 'm -- i 'm sorry to hear that . eve : yeah , well , it 's been a lot more difficult than i ever imagined it would be . music is my love . it 's a passion . of course you must understand a part of that , right ? jj , i 'm just looking -- well , i 'm trying to get the most i can , for everyone , with these movie rights . and if i succeed , then everybody gets more money , including the veterans . jj : but -- eve : but no , listen . the veterans are not my first concern . they 're are n't , i 'll admit that . paige is . ah , jj , she 's tried and worked so hard to get where she is right now , and i just want to make sure that she gets the best education and the best future that i can give her . and i am not gon na stop until i know that she 's gon na get it . paige : [ crying ] i 'm sorry . marybeth : no , no . of course you 're upset . how could you not be ? paige : i know you 're right . i just keep thinking to myself , there must be some other way . but my mom hates jj 's family , and they hate her and ... marybeth : what are you gon na do ? hope : marlena ... marlena : hmm ? hope : you 're gon na be great . aiden : mm - hmm . hope : it 's gon na be fine . aiden : yes , you are our hero for agreeing to this . marlena : oh , you wo n't feel that way once i 'm on stage . louis : dr. evans , all you have to do is warm them up for a few minutes . get them relaxed . marlena : i 'm a psychiatrist . that 's not what i do . i do n't have any experience in warming people up . they want somebody funny and witty . hope : and you know what , you 're all of those things . roman : yeah , come on . remember the marx brothers festival we went to ? you did a great harpo . marlena : harpo did n't speak ! giselle : well , someone needs to speak . the auction was supposed to begin ten minutes ago . louis : we ca n't keep them waiting much longer . i mean , they 've already eaten all the cupcakes . giselle : if all of this hard work for the school was for nothing , i -- aiden : no , no , no . it has n't been for nothing . ciara : mommy , our teacher has his mean face on . hope : you 're gon na be great . you 're gon na be fine . you 're gon na be fantastic . just -- just be yourself . marlena : if i were myself , i 'd be in the parking lot right now . louis : it 's show time . let 's go , come on . aiden : okay . sami : you were naked in the shower with my husband when i came to see him . jennifer : please stop it . sami : i was trying to talk to him , and you were listening . you heard every word in there ! jennifer : sami ! sami : you had sex with him after i left , did n't you ?

jj : i 'm not looking that far ahead . but what i need is for you to lay off my mom . and i know that you do n't like her -- eve : jj , please . it 's not personal . jj : but even if it is n't , but mom has been through hell these last couple years , and i do n't want someone else to hurt her . eve : you love her a lot , do n't you ? jj : of course i do , yeah . i admire that about you . jj : then i guess we 're even . because if there 's one thing that i had to admire about you , it 's how much you love and care about your daughter . paige : i do n't know what i 'm going to do . i ca n't make my mom and jj like each other . marybeth : well , maybe you do n't have to . paige : what do you mean ? marybeth : your mom 's always going to be your mom , right ? but in , like , six weeks , you 're gon na be in california meeting a ton of guys who are cute and smart . paige : i do n't care . marybeth : come on , paige . you and jj have n't even been dating that long . i mean , what do you have in common ? you both look good in a lime green vest and like to sing in the shower ? the first time you come home from school , i bet you wo n't even call him . paige : i know who i wo n't be calling . marybeth : what did i say ? paige : i did n't ask your opinion , marybeth . i know how you feel about jj . and i know how i feel about him . it 's not gon na change . marlena : hi , there . good evening , everybody . i am dr. marlena evans . and i know that you were hoping to see patti stanger tonight , but sadly , she 's fallen ill , and she ca n't be with us . so i 've agreed to step in and fill in for her . and -- and who says that a psychiatrist ca n't -- did you hear about the guy that went to the doctor 's office -- i mean , the psychiatrist 's office -- and he said , `` doctor , can you help me ? i think i 'm a dog . `` and the doctor said , `` of course i can help you . why , have a seat on the sofa . `` and the man said , `` uh - oh . i 'm not allowed on the furniture . `` a psychiatrist friend of mine was running a group therapy , and he said to the first patient , `` what 's three times three ? `` and the patient said , `` it 's 200 . `` then the doctor said , `` oh . `` to the second patient , `` what 's three times three ? `` and the second patient said , `` it 's tuesday ? `` and then he said to the third patient , `` what 's three times three ? `` and the patient said , `` it 's -- it 's nine . `` and the doctor was so thrilled . and he said , `` how did you know that ? `` and the patient said , `` because i just subtracted 200 from tuesday . `` [ scattered laughter ] marlena : i had a patient once who told me she had called a psychiatric hotline , and she swears that this is what she heard . `` if you 're ocd , press one . repeatedly . if you 're co - dependent , have somebody else press two for you . if you have multiple personalities , press three , four , and five . if you 're paranoid - delusional , we know who you are . we know what you want . stay on the phone , and we will track you down . if you 're schizophrenic , listen for a very small voice that will tell you what button to push . and if you 're manic depressive , it does n't matter what button you push . we 're not gon na call you back . `` [ laughter , applause ] jennifer : you will not speak to my daughter this way ! you get out of my house right now . sami : oh , wait , hold on . the high and mighty jennifer horton is going to throw me out just for speaking the truth ?

[ soft piano music ] jj : are these your songs ? eve : ah , yeah . they actually used to be . but i do n't want to strain my vocal cords until i have the nodules removed . and you know what , jj , it probably would n't sound very good anyway . jj : well , i hope that turns out okay because paige said that you had an amazing voice . eve : hmm , you know what she said to me ? she said that you 're probably one of the most talented musicians she 's ever met . jj : she 's exaggerating . eve : yeah , and she said that you did n't realize how good you really are . so , shall we call a truce , jj ? jj : really ? eve : yeah . i mean , if i had to wait for you to suggest it , it probably would n't happen , right ? and i actually think that we should because we both clearly agree on one thing .

wait , is there even time for that kind of thing ? kate : look , look . i know -- i know you have concerns , i do . marlena : do you ? because i think if you knew that , maybe you would 've come to me before you married the man . kate : i knew you were n't gon na throw me a bridal shower . i knew that . marlena : no . i would have filed commitment papers . kate : okay , look , i know that it was a little hasty , but believe me , it was the very best solution to a very big problem . marlena : oh , what was the problem ? were you trying to destroy your life , and you were n't sure how to start it ? kate : you can relax , okay ? it 's a business arrangement . chad was missing . in his absence , we needed to keep the company together . the ceo of dimera must be a family member , and the board did n't trust andré . marlena : oh , that 's just so hard to believe . kate : it 's simple math , that 's what it is . i have the qualification , he has the last name -- that equals , i 'm now the ceo of dimera enterprises . marlena : chad is back . you can have the marriage annulled and -- and turn the company back over to chad . kate : it 's really not that simple , though , because my appointment is for six months , and i 'll have to be married at least that long . marlena : six months ? how much damage can happen in six months ? empires have toppled in fewer than six months . kate : i will be fine . i know what i 'm doing , marlena . marlena : really ? tell me , has he changed ? has he become an amazing , kind man now ? kate : no , i would n't exactly say that , but he 's not that bad . marlena : well , at least you do n't love him . tell me you do n't love him . kate : i do n't love him . but on the other hand , every time that i 've married for love , it 's turned out to be an unmitigated disaster . this is a lot cleaner . lucas : sonny confessed to deimos ' murder ? that makes no sense at all , anne . anne : well , apparently it made sense to the fuzz . i mean , according to my sources , the police are booking him right now . lucas : you 've got to be kidding me . i ca n't believe this . anne : i know , it 's so frustrating , right ? it 's like , all these huge news stories , and they all involve the owners of `` the spectator . `` it 's just a conflict of interest everywhere i look , you know ? lucas : that 's what 's bothering you about this ? that 's what you 're worried about ? anne : well , somebody 's got to put out a paper every day , darling . like if -- if they 're so distracted , jen and adrienne , it 's like , who do think is keeping this whole thing afloat ? annie milbauer . okay ? nobody wants to read about the salem swim team when there 's a juicy murder mystery going on , you know ? lucas : i got to go , okay ? anne : wh -- you just got here . lucas : i have to talk to adrienne about this . anne : i ... yeah , of course . it 's all about adrienne . adrienne needs you , you come a - runnin ' . i need you , you go running . sonny : [ panting ] thank you so much for being here . paul : where else am i gon na be ? sonny : oh , god . i just hate seeing my mom like that . especially after everything she 's gone through this year . it 's terrible . jj : what are you doing , sonny ? sonny : just waiting for raines to put me in the system , i guess . jj : why did you confess ? sonny : i was just telling the truth , jj . jj : you did n't -- you did n't kill deimos . you could n't have . sonny : you do n't know that . jj : and you do n't know that you did . sonny : i 'm just glad they 're letting you go . jj : i do n't want to be let go , man . not if it 's because you 're gon na be locked up . paul : we 're gon na get him off . justin 's already working on it . jj : this should never have happened . sonny , we do n't know what went on that night ! sonny : i know i saw deimos ' body on the floor -- dead . jj : that is not proof . sonny : no , but what about the waiter ? he saw me kneeling over his body . he heard me tell deimos , `` you got what you deserve . `` jj : he did . is that credible ? you 're not going to prison for this . [ door opens ] raines : detective , can i have a word with you ? [ tense music ] i have the paperwork for your release . it just needs your signature . this is still an open investigation , which means -- jj : which means i 'm not off the hook , even though you 're about to lock up my cousin . there . raines : i 'd advise you not to leave town . jj : oh , do n't worry . i 'm not going anywhere . i have a job to do , sir . raines : jj , i 'm sorry , but you 're on paid leave until further notice . jj : you 're not letting me work the case ? raines : you 're still a suspect in deimos kiriakis 's murder ; i do n't want you anywhere near this case . do you understand me ? i said do you understand me ? jj : yes , sir . [ slow dramatic music ] lani : jj , is everything all right ? jj : they 're letting me go . lani : what ? you 're free ? that 's incredible . how ? jj : sonny confessed to the murder . lani : sonny murdered deimos ? jj : no . no , it was n't him . i know it . i just have to prove it . lani : i found something . i think it might help . jj : where are you ? lani : at the martin house . jj : all right , i 'm gon na get over there as quickly as i can . we have to find a way to clear sonny . adrienne : i ca n't stand the thought of our son in a jail cell . justin : he wo n't be there long , i promise . adrienne : you know he did n't do it , right ? justin : i know our son is honorable and trustworthy . deimos provoked every single person in the house that night . they all had motive and opportunity to kill him . adrienne : why is our son the only one being locked up ? justin : adrienne , look at me . i promise you i wo n't let our son down , and i wo n't let you down , either . she 's nationally recognized adrienne : i do n't know what i 'd so without you , justin . justin : you seem to be doing just fine . adrienne : you know what i mean . justin : no matter what happens between us , we 'll always be here for our son , and each other . adrienne : and for each other , always . lucas ! lucas : hey . i 'm so sorry . i heard about sonny . is there anything i can do ? adrienne : no , i 'm just glad you 're here . lucas : are they taking care of you ? can i get you anything ? adrienne : yeah , no , you know what ? i just need to see sonny . lucas : i 'll go -- i 'll talk to raines for you . adrienne : no , no , i can do that . if you 'd just -- you just fill lucas in for me , okay ? i just got to be with sonny . sonny : i could n't let jj go down for this murder . not when i had information that could clear him . paul : jj 's right about one thing , though . you do n't know if you killed deimos . even if you were on drugs , i do n't believe that you 're capable of stabbing someone in the chest . sonny : you really think i 'm innocent ? paul : with all of my heart . sonny ... you 're the best man that i have ever known . you make me a better man . if anyone 's ever looked up to me as a role model , it is because of you . sonny : you make me a better man , too . paul : i love you , sonny . and i am gon na stand by your side the way you stood by mine . when we were on the island , i could have died . or worse , i could 've hurt you or even killed you , but you never gave up on me . you saved me . i am gon na do whatever it takes to save you . [ sad music ] lani : jj . jj : now , this is n't how partners are supposed to greet each other . lani : i do n't care . i am just so happy you 're free . jj : but sonny 's not . now , you said you found something . what is it ? lani : a salem inn room key . i found it out in the garden . hope and rafe are investigating now . i thought we should head over there and join them . jj : okay , raines made it very clear to me that i 'm not supposed to be working on this case . lani : you 're off the case ? jj : technically . but i 'm working this whether he likes it or not . but he ca n't know about it . lani : jj , if he finds out , you will lose your badge . jj : all i care about is clearing sonny 's name . i just do n't want to get the rest of you in trouble . lani : if you 're willing to take the risk , i am too . the room has been thoroughly cleaned , and nothing was left behind . rafe : okay . hope : you said that you were here when , uh -- when he checked in as sam -- sam reynolds . can you describe him ? uh , he was wearing a baseball cap and dark sunglasses . rafe : oh , yeah ? like he was in disguise ? none of the staff really remembers much about him except that he paid in cash , and he was a generous tipper . hope : was this him ? ah , maybe , but i was n't here yesterday morning when he left . rafe : hmm . okay , well , thank you . thank you so much for your help . we 'll see ourselves out . of course . hope : thank you . yesterday morning ? deimos was already dead by then . rafe : yup . so if deimos was n't here , then who was it ? who dropped the key in the garden the night of the party ? hope : the killer . day 13 . if only this were as easy as saving $ 600 marlena : no , but things could be worse . you could be marrying his father again . kate : see ? that is the spirit .

[ sighs ] what the hell , xander ? making threats like that in front of one of my detectives ? xander : desperate times . eve : no . [ stammers ] listen . we made a deal : i would forget about the 911 call accusing you of killing ted laurent , and you would forget that you got rolf 's diary from me , and that was gon na be the end of it . xander : well , it was n't because your detective dragged me in here , and now i need you to get me out . eve : well , i 'm not gon na do it ... because i held up my end of the bargain , so you 're on your own , my man . xander : oh , and you will be as well -- the instant jack finds out that you lied to him . i bet he 'll set a new land - speed record running back to jennifer . eve : fine . okay . you win . get -- go -- you can leave . stay out of trouble . this is your last time .

[ scene_break ] chloe : so you 'll only stay silent if this baby is daniel 's , if we can determine for sure that he 's the father ? carly : chloe , it 's the best i can offer . chloe : the best you can offer ? what , like the price on a used car ? i mean , come on , carly , this baby is daniel 's . i know it is ! it has to be . what ? why are n't you saying anything ? carly : 'cause i can tell by the look on your face and the desperation in your voice that you are terrified that this child is not daniel 's , that it 's the other man 's . oh , chloe , please be honest with me . is it possible that you already know that for sure ? [ scene_break ] melanie : hey , philip . where 'd you go just now ? philip : uh ... melanie : chloe 's pregnant . philip , chloe and my dad are having a baby . this is -- this is awesome . i 'm gon na be a big sister . i 'm gon na have a little sister or maybe a little brother , i do n't know . this is so cool , but you seem bummed about it . what 's wrong ? [ scene_break ] sami : i ca n't believe johnny left his penguin here . where is it ? [ scene_break ] nicole : so do you have something to say or did n't you hear me ? because i certainly overheard you talking to your father about how you kidnapped sydney . i knew you were an evil son of a bitch , ej , but this ... [ scene_break ] chloe : of course i 'm not sure . how can i be sure ? even when things were at their worst with daniel , we never stopped loving each other . but considering how far along i am , i honestly do n't know whose baby this is . carly : that 's why we 're gon na do a paternity test . chloe : so all this talk of helping me , it was just talk , was n't it ? you 're planning on exposing me no matter what , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] philip : no , nothing 's -- nothing 's wrong . i 'm just , um -- i 'm stunned . that 's all . melanie : okay , but , i mean , you should be stunned in a good way . you know , chloe being pregnant , that 's a good thing . why do you look so worried ? listen to your clothes ! philip : yeah , yeah , maybe i am a little worried . melanie : why ? philip : because , from what i understand , chloe -- chloe was under the impression that she was infertile because of all the chemo she had . you know , they said her chances of conceiving a baby were miniscule , so i do n't know if any of this can be true . melanie : well , my dad 's a doctor . i mean , why would he -- philip : no , no , it 's just more of those hysterical symptoms that she 's having . melanie : no . no , no , no , carly did the sonogram . there 's a baby in there . this is real . philip : carly did the sonogram ? melanie : yeah . yeah , that 's why they did n't have the wedding that night . that 's the news that carly had . that 's why daniel and chloe did n't get married . i do n't think chloe wants anybody to know yet though . but my dad could n't help himself , but i swore to secrecy . that 's the only reason i could n't tell you . i hope you 're not mad at me . i just -- i promised him that i would n't say anything . philip : no , no , no , that 's fine . do n't -- do n't worry about that . melanie : oh , 'cause i thought you were upset with me . philip ! philip : melanie , did your dad say how far along chloe is ? melanie : no . why would that matter ? [ scene_break ] carly : if the baby is his , i 'll let it go . and then i 'll just have to pray , as will you , that daniel does n't find out the truth of your infidelity in some other way . chloe : no , no , no . how could he ? carly : i do n't know . chloe : if you do n't tell him , god knows i certainly wo n't . carly : i 'm just saying that if he finds out the truth in any other way , chloe , not only will you lose him , but i will too , and melanie for good . [ scene_break ] daniel : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . you are not gon na do this . vivian : ha ! do what ? i ca n't even make a simple inquiry . daniel : no , you ca n't . you are gon na shut up and listen . vivian : how incredibly rude . daniel : am i -- am i not getting through to you ? you are gon na stay away from chloe , do you understand ? now get lost . vivian : oh , this is just unbelievable . it 's unbelievable how rude you are . daniel : did you not hear me ? i think i said get lost . vivian : and you know what 's even more irritating ? is the abuse that you 're heaping on me when it 's all conjecture on your part . daniel : yeah , like hell it is . vivian : oh , so you know what chloe and i were talking about ? daniel : i 'm gon na say this one last time . stay away from carly . stay away from chloe . stay away from melanie . because if you do n't , there will be hell to pay . vivian : i do n't think so .

[ scene_break ] ej : do you think anybody will believe this ridiculous fable ? especially coming from you . i mean , you 're hardly a bastion of truth and sanity , are you ? nicole : it is not a fable . it is the god 's to honest truth . ej : you 're way out of your depth . way out . and i was out of my mind back then because you had cruelly stolen my child . nicole : you were out of your mind . you were playing it that way too . ej : well , i do n't have time for this nonsense , so if you 'll excuse me . nicole : you were good . i 'll say that . you were -- you played it flawlessly . oscar - worthy , if i do say so myself . and then you had me attacked while anna spirited sydney into some hiding place just when i was about to bring sydney back . and then you blamed me for sydney 's disappearance . ej : god , you really have snapped , have n't you ? i mean , after everything you 've done to me , to come up with this outrageous , flimsy story . nicole : no , what i did , i did out of grief and loss and deep , crushing pain . what you did was a cold - hearted act designed to punish me and sami , to put us through hell actually . and all at the expense of that little girl who was taken out of her home and away from her mother , away from everything that she knew . no , ej , what you did was a far , far worse crime than mine could ever be . and like me , now you will pay . [ scene_break ] daniel : hey , chloe , it 's daniel . i need to see you as soon as possible . i just found out about vivian , and i know that she came to see you . look , baby , baby , i thought we made a promise not to keep things from each other . if i know i can help you . all right , anyway , i love you . call me or come and see me . i 'm at the hospital . okay .

[ scene_break ] melanie : because it 's a weird question to ask , how far along somebody is . philip : pfft , what -- what -- what , you do n't wan na know when the baby 's actually gon na be born ? melanie : well , um , yeah , i would like to know when the baby 's gon na be born , but it 's not the first thing i thought about . i was more like , `` hey , cool , they 're gon na have a baby . `` philip : i mean , look , when i asked how far along chloe is , i was just wondering when she and daniel would feel comfortable telling people , that 's -- that 's all . melanie : oh . philip : you know , but it seems everything i say , i just , i ca n't seem to get right with you . melanie : no , philip , do n't do that . look , i over - reacted , okay ? philip : well , yeah , i mean , especially given chloe 's history . melanie : yes , given -- given her history , you have every right to be concerned if maybe it 's too early to say anything , especially since there 's still a possibility of a miscarriage . philip : exactly . exactly , and if people knew it would be that much more painful to deal with , especially for chloe if ... [ phone rings ] philip : if people knew . melanie : oh , hmm . [ ringing continues ] melanie : it 's the hospital . i have an emergency shift . philip : well , there goes our day off together . melanie : what are you gon na do without me ? philip : i do n't know . actually , i was thinking about going to visit chloe , seeing if she 's okay . melanie : how sweet of you . philip : look , i know i 'm not supposed to say anything . it 's just gon na be too hard to not talk about any of this , but i think she 'll be fine if i know . melanie : you sure ? philip : absolutely . chloe and i go way back . melanie : okay , i just hope that daniel 's not mad at me for spilling . philip : trust me , i will smooth it all out . do n't worry . melanie : okay . philip : okay ? melanie : yeah . i mean , he ca n't be too mad at me . you are my husband . there should n't be any secrets between a husband and wife . philip : no secrets . melanie : i love you . philip : i love you . melanie : i 'll be back . [ scene_break ] nicole : you 're gon na pay , ej . just like you made me pay at my hearing , remember ? ej : the only thing i remember is that you were put away for months when you should have been put away for life . and now , somehow , you think you 're the victim . well , that is bloody ludicrous . nicole : what is ludicrous is that i did n't see it earlier , that sami and me and her entire family coulda been spared the torment . god , that i did n't see it when i came back in town and you were all over me about what anna said to me . ej : i 'm sure it makes a lot of sense in your rather pathetic little mind . the problem , my dear , is you do n't have any proof . nicole : proof . ej : ah , ah , ah , yeah , okay . nicole : yeah , yeah , i , uh , i forgot about that . ej : right . well , i 'll be going now , so good luck getting whatever help it is you clearly need . nicole : wait . ej : what ? nicole : i lied . ej : did you ? nicole : i did n't forget . ej : did n't ? nicole : about the proof . i , uh ... i have it right here .

[ scene_break ] ej : you recorded the conversation . why am i not surprised ? i mean , it fits in perfectly with your modus operandi . but if you think that you have something incriminating , you 're going to be disappointed . what 's that ? ah . cat got your tongue ? we 're done here . [ recording plays ] stefano : anna is the only one that knows the truth , and she has been neutralized . ej : she better be . stefano : she knows what would happen to her if she ever told anybody that you paid her to kidnap sydney . ej : ca n't believe i did that . i must have been out of my mind . i was just so angry at you , samantha , and nicole . just wanted to make you all suffer . stefano : you did that in spades , huh ? you made us all worry about sydney 's well being . for god 's sake , you made us think that she was dead . ej : i know what i did , thank you . stefano : so this is why i keep telling you , there 's no need to worry , all right ? anna is tucked away . no one is ever going to know . [ recording stops ] [ scene_break ] carly : hey , daniel . daniel : carly , you know , i was just gon na call you . carly : yeah ? why ? daniel : well , kate said something about vivian bothering chloe , and then i just talked to vivian a few seconds ago and confronted her , and she basically confirmed everything . do you know about this ? i -- i did see vivian when i went to check on chloe , yeah . daniel : but that could n't have been this morning . carly : no , it was last night . daniel : last night ? well , why did n't you say something ? chloe did n't say anything either . carly : daniel , i -- daniel : she is a maniac , carly -- dangerous and destructive , you know that more than anybody . carly : i do know that but -- daniel : did why did you guys keep something like this from me ? and why -- why is it that i feel like i 'm out of the loop here ?

[ scene_break ] vivian : you know , i saw your car out in the driveway all by its lonesome , so i thought i 'd stop by while maggie was n't around . melanie : vivian , you tried to kill me , so being alone with you is not an option , aside from the fact that we have nothing to talk about . vivian : oh , but we do . you see , my wonderful marriage to victor is n't actually turning out to be the dream i thought it would be . melanie : see a couples therapists . vivian : whoa . you and your wonderful sense of humor . melanie : seriously , vivian , go . vivian : do n't you want to hear why my marriage is n't working out ? melanie : yeah , i could care less . vivian : well , see , it 's because a certain someone is getting in the way . melanie : i 'll rephrase . uh , i do n't care . vivian : oh , well , maybe you do n't , but i think maybe your husband might . think about that . melanie : okay , what about my husband ? vivian : well , he must just hate living in this dreary place when he belongs in the mansion , and i thought if i could engineer a sort of blueprint to bring you back there that , well , then victor would not feel so badly about me -- melanie : i 'm gon na stop you right there . even the thought of living with you and victor makes me physically nauseas -- philip too . i know that for a fact . vivian : really ? melanie : mm - hmm . vivian : you think you know your husband 's mind , do you ? [ scene_break ] chloe : why do -- how do you know that i 'm pregnant ? philip : melanie told me . apparently daniel told her . chloe : oh , my god , why ca n't everyone just keep their mouths shut ? philip : yeah , well , good luck with that . point is you shoulda told me . chloe : why ? why do you think this baby 's yours ? philip : well , if you knew for a fact that it was n't , if you considered the dates , you might have told me so i would n't did n't get the wrong idea . also if you and daniel had been trying to conceive for a while and nothing happened -- chloe : well , it 's because my chances of conceiving with anyone were almost zero . philip : which means what ? chloe : which means you 're right . this baby could be either daniel 's or yours . philip : [ exhales ] chloe : what ? what are you thinking ? philip : just that when belle and i were trying to have a baby -- ah , never mind . chloe : what ? no , no , there 's no `` never mind . `` why are you bringing up belle ? philip : no , it does n't matter right now , okay ? the point is , is you 're pregnant . it could be my baby . we got ta figure out what the hell to do . chloe : yeah , well , the real problem is it 's not in our hands . it 's in carly 's .

[ phone rings ] chad : i 'll get it this time . hello ? yeah . no comment . kate : good man . mccarthy : well , you know how the double was always trying to get out of doing work ? bo : yeah , i do . mccarthy : well , this one day , i saw him on the government web site looking at mug shots . and he must have spent all afternoon going over it . i asked him what case he was working on , and he did n't answer . he just kept staring at this one mug shot . who 's that ? and i think maybe i know why . javier : now in the first place , you are n't even official here . so how are you gon na get me witness protection ? hope : my husband can do it . javier : uh - huh . hope : if you cooperate . javier : is that right ? yeah . and then sami 's daddy goes to the dimeras , he tells 'em what i said and where i 'm at . one day i 'm out in the suburbs , i 'm putting in petunias , and the next day i 'm the fertilizer . hope : he would n't do that . rafe : oh , yeah ? why not ? hope : because he hates them more than he hates you . javier : okay . so i got your word ? right . thanks , lady . i 'll take my own chances . nicole : look , i better get back to the hotel and pick up the pieces . kinsey : your sister 's lucky . nicole : my sister put herself through college and got herself a responsible job . i 'm the one who depended on the kindness of strangers until now . kinsey : what , are you kidding ? no , you were , like , a celeb on tv and all that . nicole : thank you . but that was a whole other life . look , right now i 'm just glad i 'm the one who 's been there and done that , looking out for her . kinsey : i wish i had someone like you in my corner . nicole : it 's been hard . kinsey : i do n't have any money for college anymore . nicole : that sucks . kinsey : and i 'm not what you 'd call a self - starter , so ... nicole : look , i know all about being poor . so if there 's anything i can do to help , just let me know . taylor : i think you should go . ej : [ mumbles ] good to see you again . taylor : i hope not . ej : taylor . i will do everything in my power to take your pain away . you just have to say the word . taylor : there is something i want . i want my mother back . bo : we need your help . abigail : does that mean that chad becomes the head of their family ? chad : you had it all , but you blew it all to pieces for every one of us . | at the police station , fake rafe thought that hope was going to torture him . she let him know that the dimeras will take care of him once they realize that he talked to the police . she told him that the feds want ej and stefano more than they want him . all he had to do was tell everything that the dimeras made him do . he will get put in witness protection if he cooperates with the police . abe told bo and roman that the da was upset that hope was working on the dimera case . abe wanted to call internal affairs because bo deputized a convicted felon . bo tried to defend hope . abe told him that he could be suspended or fired . bo was willing to take the risk . bo thought that once hope gets fake rafe to confess , the da would forget that hope should n't be on the force . roman went down to fake rafe 's cell and told hope that he was taking over . he told hope it was her last day and that she was n't authorized to make deals with fake rafe . roman told fake rafe that a computer tech was working on fixing his taped confession . later went back to fake rafe 's cell and tried to convince him to make a deal . |

[ heart monitor beeping ] chad : so , cameron , when you get off , could you meet me at the pub ? really need to talk to you . thanks , man . abigail , hey . abigail : chad . please do n't do this . adrienne : word to the wise , if a dimera happens to come in wanting an espresso , you might wan na make yourself scarce . sonny : why ? adrienne : well , in case you 're on someone 's hit list , of course . sonny : what are you talking about , mom ? adrienne : i 'm sure you just heard that your father 's decided to represent the dimeras . sonny : yes , i actually do n't wan na be in the middle of this . adrienne : [ sighs ] no , i 'm sure you do n't . i 'm sorry . look , just promise me you 'll be careful , please ? sonny : i am always careful . adrienne : okay , yeah . all right , listen . hey . you look tired . is the baby still up every two hours ? sonny : no . we 're taking shifts . it 's just i went out last night and stayed out late . and then i had to open this morning , so ... adrienne : so did you and will do something fun ? sonny : no , will did n't come . he stayed home with arianna . adrienne : you went out alone ? [ knocks at door ] will : come in , dad . [ door opens ] brent : will . will : hey , brent , what 's up ? brent : not much , how 's it going ? will : going great . brent : is -- is sonny around ? will : no , he was at work before i woke up . why ? brent : he left this in my car last night . eric : if this is about brady ... kristen : no , it 's not about brady . it 's about someone else and something that i think is gon na shock a lot of people . kayla : bad day ? abe : [ sighs ] bad week . bad month . bad year . kayla : i 'm sorry . abe : you know , as -- as relieved as i am that sami 's not going to trial , it 's just morale at the department could n't be lower . kayla : i 'm sure . abe : one of our own is shot and killed . his name 's been dragged through the mud , and the commissioner 's daughter 's the one who pulled the trigger . kayla : well , at least they have you to see them through . abe : we have n't gotten through it yet . we need some really good news to get us through this . kayla : yeah . abe : you know , we need to know that rafe 's going to be okay . after that setback he had , when will we know he 's through the woods ? kayla : well , there 's cameron now . maybe he knows something new . kate : [ sighs ] eric : i do n't know , kristen . it might be pretty hard to shock people these days . kristen : i 'm not so sure about that . i guess you have n't heard about ej and my father . it 's like the civil war all over again , and ground zero is my living room . only there 's nothing civil about it , believe me . eric : i 'm sure that 's put you in a very uncomfortable position . kristen : you know , actually , it 's the upheaval at home that has brought me here to you . eric : i 'm not connecting the dots here . having a little trouble . kristen : i 'm sorry . let me try to connect them for you . eric : if you would n't mind connecting the dots for me quickly because i kinda have -- kristen : all the drama and the chaos , yeah , i get it . and i really hate to impose on your time . i 'm kind of embarrassed , you know ? i have found myself to be a lapsed catholic lately . and my faith does mean a great deal to me . eric : really ? kristen : yeah . and i find myself in need of spiritual nourishment . eric : are n't we all ? kristen : yeah , we are . but my needs are more keen than most , i think , 'cause you know , brady dumped me . i 'm alone , kind of like i was when i was exiled from salem the first time . and my family has been my only source of comfort and support . and now ... eric : their problems sorta trump yours . kristen : exactly . eric : hmm . kristen : do n't you think you can understand , you know ? i thought i found the answers that i was looking for my whole life about love and vocation . and -- and then i find that it 's nothing but a big farce . you do n't know if you should thank the person that clued you in or maybe strangle 'em . eric : if this is about brady -- kristen : it 's not about brady . it 's about marlena . eric : we 're not gon na go there again , are we ? kristen : well , you 're the one that asked . i was just saying , you know , your dreams are crushed . you 're all alone , totally disconnected from everything that you thought you believed in and everything that you were . do you understand what i 'm saying ? eric : i 'm not sure i do . kristen : oh . darn . well , maybe someday you will . [ sighs ] and it could happen sooner than you think . chad : hello to you too . what are you talking about ? abigail : what you were talking to cameron about , and i 'm telling you , this is a bad idea . chad : why ? abigail : because it 's not your decision to make . chad : no ? then whose decision is it ? abigail : oh , my god , do you even have to ask , chad ? it 's mine . chad : [ scoffs ] brent : yeah , it must have slipped off his wrist without him noticing . will : yeah , well , it 's not the first time it 's happened , so -- [ knocks at door ] lucas : hey , will , i ... will : hey . lucas : oh , sorry . will : um , dad , this is sonny 's friend , uh , brent . and this is my dad . brent : nice to meet you , mr. horton . lucas : nice to meet you . brent : oh , congrats on the baby . lucas : thank you . thank you , i appreciate that . on that note , i 'm gon na take a little peek at the princess . how you doing ? will : good . lucas : oh , man , look at her . brent : look , so i can just go to the coffee shop , grab a latte , and give this to sonny . will : no , no , do n't go out of your way . he 's gon na be home soon , so ... brent : okay . will : did you guys have fun last night ? brent : yeah . yeah , we had a great time . uh , i have n't been to a party like that since -- well , since probably the last time i went out with sonny . will : hmm . cool . brent : what about you ? how was your night ? will : great . ari slept , i slept . sleep is pretty awesome these days . brent : i bet . will : mm - hmm . anyway , thanks so much for bringing this by . brent : yeah , yeah , sure . see you around . will : yeah , all right , see ya . brent : nice to meet you . lucas : yeah , you too . take care . let me just get this straight for a second . you let sonny go out with that guy last night while you stayed home , took a nap with the baby ? will : um , well , um , yeah . lucas : and sonny 's watch did n't make it home ? come on , man . is something wrong with this picture ? adrienne : so let me get this straight . you went to a party with another guy without will ? sonny : it was just brent . do you remember him ? he was the guy that had ... adrienne : oh , the cast . sonny : the cast for six months , yeah . adrienne : oh , my god , yes . now i remember . [ gasps ] i thought he went to study in europe . sonny : he did . adrienne : he did . sonny : yeah , but now he 's back . adrienne : well , that 's great . well , that 's important . sonny : what 's important ? adrienne : well , that you 're seeing people , that -- that you 're having a social life again . sonny : i never stopped having a social life . what , you think when will and i moved in together , i just told all my friends to go to hell ? is that what you think ? adrienne : no , of course not . that 's not what i 'm saying . sonny : well , then what do you think ? can you -- can you just be direct with me for a change ? please ? adrienne : fine . all i 'm saying is that i 'm relieved to see that maybe you 're getting a little of your old life back . that 's all . sonny : my old life back ? adrienne : mm - hmm . sweetheart , you 're young , much too young to be trapped in an apartment night after night , cooking , cleaning , and baby - sitting . sonny : all right , just stop , stop , stop , stop . first of all , i am not trapped anywhere . i am exactly where i wan na be . and second of all , will , gabi , and i , we share the cooking and cleaning responsibilities . so for you to think that i 'm doing all the housework is crazy , not to mention totally unfair to will and gabi . adrienne : all right , you know what , you just -- sonny : no , no . and another thing , you know what ? i 'm not gon na calm down until you get this through your head -- that we take turns doing what needs to be done . and i am in no way being taken advantage of . and every night is not a big , boring drag of cooking and cleaning and changing diapers . we all pitch in . and sometimes , guess what . guess what we do . adrienne : what ? sonny : we have fun . and we talk to one another . and we watch movies and play video games and tell jokes -- adrienne : okay , fine , fine , fine , shh , stop . i get it . your life is wonderful and fun and full of laughter . and a great time is had by all . excellent , excellent . all i 'm saying is , i think young people should go out and meet other young people , that they should have experiences , that they should have variety in their life . that 's all i 'm saying . sonny : please , please , please , please , please . can you listen to me , mother ? adrienne : i am . sonny : i do not want or need to meet new people or have variety in my life because i know that 's code for `` if you would just break up with will , i would be happy . `` but guess what . that is not your decision . and it is not happening , not now , not ever . adrienne : can you see into the future ? sonny : i am not having this conversation with you right now . adrienne : look , stop being so defensive , and you know what ? another thing , stop putting words in my mouth . i never once in this conversation said you should break up with will , never . sonny : no , but i can read between the lines . adrienne : oh , god . am i a bad mother because i want my son to have some fun and excitement in his life ? so that he 's not bogged down with this huge responsibility while he 's still trying to find his way ? [ sighs ] i think back just a little while ago to your life . it was simple . sonny , you were happy . cameron : [ sighs ] rafe 's latest e.e.g . shows no change . kate : so is that bad ? kayla : no , not necessarily . at least there 's no more indications of distress . kate : of course not . sami 's barred from his room . abe : since when do you have your medical license ? kate : okay , abe . she went in there twice . and the second time was after daniel kicked her out and told her not to come back . and both times , rafe just about jumped out of his skin . cameron : [ sighs ] i was there . abe : why do you think he would react that way ? kate : gee , i do n't know . cameron : excuse me . i need to grab my lunch while i still can . take care . kate : sami 's gon na worm her way back into the room . she 'll always find a way . kayla : you know , i 'm not sure that i agree with daniel . you know , we do n't wan na upset rafe . but she has elicited the only communication that we 've had with him so far . kate : okay , look . um , actually , he talked to me too . kayla : what ? and you did n't think that that was important to tell me . kate : well -- adrienne : what did he say ? sonny : [ sighs ] okay ? you were saying ? adrienne : all right . i want you to listen to me . i do n't want to upset you . i do n't wan na cause you any more stress , okay ? sonny : mm - hmm . adrienne : i just feel that -- i just feel that maybe you 've settled into a situation -- sonny : settled into a situation . adrienne : [ sighs ] yes . sonny : i am living with the guy that i love . my life is great , everything about it . i should feel lucky , and you should too because i - i 'm in a good place right now . adrienne : honestly ... sonny : hey , brent , how 's it going ? brent : hey , man , good . sonny : good . brent : look , i just wanted to come by and say sorry i kept you out so late last night . i hope it was worth it . adrienne : [ chuckles ] kate : i do n't think what rafe said was necessarily as important as how he said it . kayla : why not ? kate : he was n't agitated . he felt safe with me . abe : why do n't you wan na tell us what rafe said ? kayla : we really need to know . if it 's personal -- kate : no . it 's n -- it 's not that . um ... well , you remember when you said that he might have a hard time distinguishing between his dreams and reality ? kayla : yes . kate : he asked me why sami tried to kill him . chad : [ sighs ] you think this should be your decision ? abigail : yeah . chad : what are you talking about , abigail ? abigail : i heard you on the phone with cameron . chad : yeah , ej asked me to move back in the mansion . abigail : wait , what , he did ? chad : you heard he tossed my dad out of the house , took over dimera enterprises , right ? abigail : no . oh , my god . where have i been ? chad : i guess you did n't hear that much of what i said on the phone . i guess you thought that i wanted to talk to cameron about you . abigail : it 's -- i ... chad : were you afraid i was gon na challenge him to a duel or something , huh ? i 'll put a bullet straight through your heart unless you move aside . abigail deveraux is mine . she is mine . cameron : you talking about me ? chad : huh ? sonny : mom , you remember brent . adrienne : of course . of course . great to see you , brent . brent : you too . adrienne : you have grown up . [ laughs ] brent : and you have n't changed at all . adrienne : flattery will get you a free latte , right , sonny ? [ giggles ] brent : that 'd be great . i need a big shot of caffeine after last night . oh , if you 're missing your watch , i left it with will . sonny : oh , oh , thank you . thank you . brent : yeah , yeah , yeah . i - i told him about the rave too . you do n't mind , right ? sonny : no , of course not . i was gon na tell him in the morning , but he was sleeping when i left , so ... brent : oh . adrienne : so , brent . brent : yeah . adrienne : what have you been doing since we last saw each other ? brent : actually , i have been traveling through the u.k. and france and a little bit of spain . adrienne : really ? fascinating . brent : yeah , studying architecture and design . adrienne : wow , wow . you know , when sonny was a little boy , he used to dream about growing up to be indiana jones . sonny : [ chuckles ] that 's -- that 's archaeology . adrienne : i know that . the point is he used to build these elaborate buildings , and then he 'd destroy them only to build them back up again . it was really interesting . so do you plan on being in salem for a while ? brent : um , yeah . i 'm planning on sticking around for a while . i never thought i 'd miss it so much , you know ? adrienne : well , great . hope to see more of you . brent : me too . sonny : um , i 'll get those coffees for you in one second , okay ? brent : yeah , yeah , yeah , i 'll be over here . sonny : okay . adrienne : he 's so -- sonny : mom . please . will : here you go . lucas : thank you . will : sonny 's allowed to have a life , dad . lucas : well , i know . it 's just if there 's something going on between you two , you can tell me . will : no . someone just had to take care of ari . lucas : what about the baby 's mother ? will : what about the baby 's father ? lucas : what about where 's gabi now ? will : [ sighs ] she had a class , dad . i do n't know why you 're so worried about this . everything is going great with us . lucas : if things are going so great , what 's sonny doing out with another guy , partying it up , doing whatever he want -- will : they 're -- they 're friends . lucas : really ? will : dad , not everything is about sex , you know . lucas : whoa , whoa , ease back on that . i 'm not talking about sex . i 'm just saying , why would -- why would sonny think it was cool to leave you alone here and party his life away ? will : i told -- because i told him to . that 's why . eric : what are you getting at , kristen ? kristen : do you ever have doubts , father ? eric : everyone has doubts . kristen : of course . because there 's so little to hold on to in life , right ? so little that truly lasts . certainly not love . not family . not even your deepest - held beliefs . and certainly nothing of the flesh . eric : everything in life is fleeting . kristen : right . which is why it 's so important to keep your eye on the prize , the hereafter . but if you already know that you 're going to hell , what 's the point of even trying ? eric : but god always forgives . kristen : mm . yeah . but people do n't . eric : cuts both ways , does n't it ? kristen : i suppose . but since i know that i 'm never gon na be redeemed in the eyes of the people that i care about , i feel free of duty , of responsibility . eric : love . what does that leave you with ? kristen : oh , my goodness , father . limitless possibilities . i can be myself . i can focus on my needs and my wants . and honestly , i ca n't deny myself any longer . that 's why i 'm here . it took years to build this business . eric : you seem to be having trouble coming out and saying what you wan na tell me . kristen : [ sighs ] i suppose that 's true . eric : well , if you wan na make a confession -- kristen : oh , no , no , no . nothing that formal . i just wan na get something off my chest . eric : to me ? kristen : yeah . you 're such a great listener . i mean , amongst so many other talents . eric : talk to me , our personal history aside , of course . kristen : hmm , what a history it i eric : you know you can tell me anything . kristen : be careful what you wish for . lucas : wait a minute , you told sonny to go out with an old friend for a night on the town while you stayed home and baby - sat ? will : it 's not baby - sitting if it 's your own kid , dad . lucas : [ sighs ] you know what i mean . come on . why ? why d you do that ? will : because it 's sonny . he 's the guy who climbed k2 , okay ? i 'm not gon na ask him to give up everything that he used to love . lucas : sometimes , that 's what being a parent means . you know , you got ta do that for a while . will : he 's not a parent . yes , he stepped up in a major way , but he 's not a parent , dad . lucas : but what , what 's he doing now , complaining about it ? is that it ? will : no , he loves ari . and he is so amazing with her . all right ? and when she 's older , then we can go off , and we can travel , and we can do everything that we love to do together . okay , stop looking at me like i 'm crazy . lucas : i 'm not looking at you like you 're crazy . i 'm just -- you know , you 're -- you 're mature , you 're -- old soul . you 're very old for your age . will : aw . well , having a kid can do that to you . lucas : well , it did n't do that to me . and your mother 's got , like , four kids , and she still acts like she 's 12 , so it did n't work on her either . i think you 've lapped us , to say the least . will : no , just wait till i call you in the middle of the night freaking out when she has a fever or something . lucas : i used to do that . your great - grandma alice used to help me out all the time . so i know exactly what to do , and i know that she would be very proud of you . she would . will : thanks . lucas : and i know i ca n't take credit for that , but i will anyway . will : oh , god , i got my -- lucas : i love you , man . will : i love you too . sonny : there you go . brent : thank you , sir . sonny : you 're welcome . brent : good to see you again . adrienne : good to see you too , brett , take care . brent : see ya . adrienne : [ chuckles ] sonny : will you stop ? adrienne : stop what ? sonny : you do n't think i remember what you did with me and brian ? it 's the same exact thing . you were pushing us together when i clearly wanted to be with will . okay , i 'm not gon na have you do that again . adrienne : i was n't . honestly , i would n't . sonny : no , no , you were n't ? `` bye - bye . hope to see more of you . `` what was that ? adrienne : he 's your friend . you want me to say , `` i hope to see less of you ? `` sonny : no , i do n't wan na do this again , please . this is my life and my business . you ca n't tell me who i can spend more or less time with . do you understand that ? adrienne : all right , fine . do whatever you want . for your information , i 'm very interested in architecture . sonny : what kind of insane non sequitur is that ? adrienne : ever since i got married in greece before you were born -- because ... sonny : but what in the world does this have to do with anything we 're talking about ? adrienne : when i said , `` i 'd like to see more of you , `` i 'd like him to meet uncle victor . sonny : [ groans ] adrienne : he 's a very personable young man . he 's very intelligent . i mean , people would like to talk to him . sonny : oh , okay . so he 's all those qualities that will does n't have . i see . adrienne : stop putting words in my mouth . i 'm trying here . ca n't you see how hard i 'm trying ? sonny : why do you have to try so hard ? adrienne : [ sighs ] sonny : it 's simple . i love will . and he loves me . he 's a great guy . is that not good enough for you ? adrienne : i want the very best for my son . sonny : i have the very best . i got ta go . adrienne : sonny , i did n't -- sonny : you know what , mom ? we might not have the most conventional family , but it 's working . so you have a choice to make . you can accept us or forget about us . eric : be careful what i wish for ? kristen : you seem to think that i came here to unburden myself somehow . and really , i just wan na make a simple request . eric : really ? kristen : yeah , really . i mean , when you think of all the time and energy and not to mention the money that i sank into this school project . and although it was unfortunate i could n't see it through to the enid my contribution really mean so little ? eric : you know you have my gratitude . kristen : aw , that 's so sweet . but did my invitation to the reception with the bishop get lost in the mail ? eric : it 's a very small reception . kristen : [ chuckles ] i know . i 've lost a lot . it would mean so much to me if i could attend . cameron : so i do n't have to sweat being dueled to the death . [ sighs ] chad : not before i get your advice anyway . abigail : chad . chad : relax . sorry . abigail : you know what ? i - i should probably get going 'cause i have a lot of stuff -- chad : oh , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , hold on . before you do ... [ sighs ] i would like to get your take on this too , okay ? since they kicked my father out of his house , ej and kristen have both asked me to move back in . abigail : that 's huge , chad . chad : hmm , yeah . and the first person i would 've talked to about something like this would 've been lexie . and obviously that 's not possible , so ... cameron : you 'll -- you 'll settle for me . [ clears throat ] abigail : chad , have you talked to will and sonny about this ? i mean , will lived with the dimeras for a while . and his mom now -- chad : yes , i 've -- i 've tried . okay , but they 've got so much going on right now . and i need to make a decision . so ... i trust your judgment . and yours . kayla : thank you . all right , kate . is there anything else that i should know ? anything that you did n't see fit to share with rafe 's attending physicians ? kate : look , i was n't trying to hide anything . you said yourself that he would be confused , that he might be delusional . abe : whoa , whoa , wait , wait . are you trying to protect sami ? kate : no ! i just want rafe left alone . he does n't need to hear her whining and complaining about how innocent she is . kayla : oh , so in other words , you put your personal animosity towards my niece ahead of rafe 's well - being . kate : i was protecting him from her hysterics . kayla : well , you know what ? you probably did just the opposite . had we had a chance to examine him when that happened , we would have a better idea of how his recovery is progressing . kate : he 's going to wake up again . kayla : yes . but right now , he is extremely vulnerable , physically and mentally . excuse me , dr. brady . detective hernandez is starting to come around again . kayla : all right . kate : kayla . please . kayla : all right . maybe it would be helpful for him to see a familiar face when he wakes up . but you have to promise me that you will not upset him . kate : i will say nothing to upset him . eric : [ sighs ] i know you want to attend . but you -- you must know that -- kristen : that brady 's gon na be there ? and marlena ? of course . but this town is small ... i mean , ish . and we 're kinda used to tripping over each other wherever we go . eric : i just wan na avoid the bloodshed and the fisticuffs at the benediction . i mean , if it 's all the same to you ... kristen : but why ? the bishop 's gon na be there to grant absolution . eric : but you -- kristen : i 'm kidding . come on . you said it yourself that this school probably would n't have happened if it were n't for me , and i think i deserve a chance to see the fruits of my labor , do n't you ? eric : well -- kristen : i promise i 'm not gon na cause a scene . eric : why am i not so sure i can believe you ? kristen : come on . after all the money that my family and i just kind of threw at this project , we wan na see it succeed . surely you can understand that a cordial relationship would be to the benefit of everybody concerned . ciara : i 'm here . eric : you sure are . how are you ? ciara : hi . kristen : hi . ciara : i did n't know you guys were friends . kristen : crazy , huh ? yeah , i was just saying what a small town it is . eric : [ laughs ] is this your friend ? ciara : this is jamey . guess what . eric : what ? ciara : he 's coming to st. luke 's school in the fall too . eric : all righty . hi , sir . it 's very nice to meet you . my name is father eric . i 'm sure you 're gon na really like it here . jamey : my mom says leaving my old school is gon na change my life . i sure hope so . eric : well , jamey , i sure hope so too . there are women who sacrifice so much . eric : so what are you looking forward to most about coming to st. luke 's , hmm ? ciara : well , jamey said he 's never had a computer in his classroom or a real playground with a ball field . jamey : and no barbed wire fence . eric : well , you do n't need a fence he at st. luke 's . you 'll be safe . so y ready for a v.i.p . tour ? ciara : what 's v.i.p . ? eric : very important people ! and after all , you are the reason why we built this school . and you will do me a huge favor if you can break in one of our baseball gloves . [ chuckles ] if you wan na go to the reception , if you can just stick around for a few minutes , i 'll have sister margaret bring you a ticket . kristen : sure . thank you . [ sighs ] what the hell are you looking at ? cameron : you wan na voluntarily move yourself into the middle of world war iii ? chad : well , i feel like i need to be there for ej and kristen . i mean , they 've totally been there for me . abigail : what about stefano ? cameron : yeah , he asked you to move in before , right ? and you wait until his son kicks him out on his ass before you decide to say yes ? abigail : i - i do n't think he 'll take that so well , chad . do you ? chad : well , no . abigail : so ... chad : thanks for the advice . it really helped . abigail : w -- [ sighs ] yeah , right . cameron : wait , that 's all you 're gon na tell us ? chad : i just need some more time to think things through . that 's all . cameron : hey , before you go , have you -- have you followed up with the doctor about your head ? chad : you implying something , cameron ? cameron : uh , yeah . it 's very hard . you took a bad hit at the lake . i mean , if you have n't gotten it checked out , you -- chad : why should i ? like you said , it 's hard . i promise you , i 'm fine . thank you for the advice . i 'll see you guys later , okay ? abigail : well ... [ door closes ] abigail : that was n't awkward at all , was it ? cameron : no , but there is always a next time . my break 's over . better get back to work . abigail : okay . cameron : have a good day , okay ? abigail : yeah , you too . sonny : hey . brent said that he stopped by . uh , i 'm sorry . will : for what ? sonny : well , you were sleeping this morning . and i was gon na tell you that i went to that rave , and -- will : no , thank you so much for not waking me up and telling me that . it 's fine . sonny : are you sure ? will : absolutely . it was my idea for you to go out and have a little fun . sonny : that 's true . will : yeah , i 'm glad that brent brought this watch back , though . sonny : me too . will : maybe we should get a new clasp or something , so it stops falling off everywhere . sonny : no , it 's -- it 's good . it 's okay . will : okay . sonny : i will make sure that it 's not going anywhere . adrienne : lucas , hey . lucas : hey . hey , adrienne , how you doing ? adrienne : pretty good . how are you ? lucas : good , thanks . adrienne : you know , actually , i was just with parker a little while ago . i showed him this video of arianna , and he would like to pencil in a playdate with her as soon as she can talk . lucas : oh , really ? adrienne : [ laughs ] she really is beautiful . lucas : she is . i just got back from seeing her . she 's changed a lot already . adrienne : oh , i know , right ? you know what ? let me show you this . it is so cool that we can record these memories . that way , we can never forget .

[ dramatic music ] kate : well , it turns out that , um , xander was only the muscle . he has a partner in crime . oh ! oh ! oh ! sonny : okay , so , we just established a new tradition . will : you know , i happen to think that walking arm in arm across the threshold is much more romantic anyway . but -- but seriously . i totally could 've carried you . you know that , right ? 'cause i 'm fully recovered , i 'm feeling strong , i 'm full of energy . i 'm just so happy to be out of that hospital bed . sonny : i am so grateful to have you home . but even though you are full of energy , you have to take it easy , okay ? kayla gave me strict instructions not to let you push yourself too hard . will : fine , then i 'll let you wait on me hand and foot . sonny , bring me my slippers . and where 's my breakfast ? i require my headphones and my laptop . sonny : well , i will get you that anytime , okay ? will : oh , speaking of my laptop , i can not wait to get back to work at the `` spectator . `` what ? oh , what 's that look ? sonny : no , no , nothing . it 's just , um , you know i support you 100 % in your career , right ? like , you know that . will : yeah . oh , you 're sort of in career limbo right now . i 'm sorry . that was inconsiderate of me to bring up work . sonny : no , it was n't inconsiderate at all . no , not at all , not at all . okay , i - i mean , i do wish i had a clue of what my next step would be career - wise , um , but i do n't know , i just , i do n't know what i 'm gon na do .

[ scene_break ] philip : [ sigh ] i ... i found out ... chloe was pregnant . daniel : okay . philip : yeah , and see , melanie , she did n't mean for me to find out , but i did . and as soon as i found out , i rushed right over to tell her how happy i was for you guys . and that 's when she told me that you guys were trying to keep it a secret . daniel : i did n't have the right to expect melanie to keep something from her husband . philip : so we 're good ? daniel : mm . you know , what i do n't get is why the two of you looked like it was such a big deal . [ scene_break ] brady : you had no business meddling in our lives . arianna : that 's right . melanie : great , now you 're a united front . brady : look ... there are problems between us that you do n't understand . arianna : we 're not gon na get back together because you tricked us into being in the same place at the same time . melanie : okay , fine . you guys wan na leave ? take off . but first you have to look me in the eye and tell me you do n't love each other anymore . which one of you 's gon na go first ? [ scene_break ] philip : uh , you know , if it looked intense when you walked in , that 's my fault . 'cause i put chloe in a tough spot . i wanted her to cover for melanie , and she did n't wan na keep anything from you , so . daniel : hmm . well , i just do n't know why you 'd think i 'd be mad at melanie for repeating something that i really could n't keep quiet myself . chloe : yeah , you 're right . philip and i were just being silly , and i was being superstitious , you know , wanting to keep this a secret . because we just -- we found out so early , and this is a high - risk pregnancy , so . daniel : you know , you have every right to wan na keep it a secret . and i should 've told you that i told melanie . chloe : yeah , but it 's okay now . you know what ? i actually feel differently now . i 'm excited , i want people to know . so it 's not a problem anymore , right ? philip : [ claps ] well , congratulations , daniel . daniel : thank you . philip : congratulations . daniel : thank you , wow . philip : you know , i better get going before i cause any more trouble . chloe : [ nervous chuckle ] philip : i 'll talk to you guys later , okay ? [ sighs ] that baby has to be his . it has to be . chloe : so you 're really not upset with melanie ? daniel : she 's married to philip kiriakis ... not much i can do about that . chloe : what does that mean ? daniel : well , i know that he 's your old boyfriend and you still have a soft spot for him . but if i 'd known melanie was my daughter ... i would 've done everything i could to stop that marriage . [ scene_break ] ej : look , samantha , i do n't know what it is exactly that you think you know -- nicole : come on , ej , let the girl talk . sami : it 's about arianna , is n't it ? that you are defending her , that you paid for her bail . and you just ca n't stand it because you want everyone to think that rafe 's sister 's the one who committed all these muggings . and you know that because the victims are friends of my family or related to me , you think you can drag me down here and make up some stupid story that 's gon na make me turn against ej ? ej : that is exactly what she wants to happen . sami : [ scoffs ] nicole : look ... i 'm the one who tried to give arianna an alibi . ej : right , which conveniently did n't pan out , did it ? in fact , it took the police right to her door . nicole : what ? i do n't -- i - i -- sami : you know , you 're really unbelievable , okay ? unbelievable ! you just have a problem with everyone else being happy , is that it ? you ca n't stand it . nicole : whoa , wait a minute . are you that clueless that you do n't see what 's going on here ? do you really think that ej would rush down here and try and stop me from telling you what he did for arianna ? no , he is trying to stop me from telling you what he did all on his own . [ scene_break ] arianna : look , we never said that we did n't still care about each other , we do . i mean , it was actually a really hard decision to make . brady : we agreed that what we have , it 's just ... not enough . melanie : i know you want me to stay out of your lives and leave you guys alone . but unfortunately for you , it looks like i take after my mom . and i 'm not gon na stand for that . so will you please just talk to each other ? arianna : well , honey , this is not fair what you 're doing . melanie : no , what 's not fair is that you guys were about to get married , and then nicole shows up out of jail or wherever she came from and everything got messed up ! so who is it gon na hurt to talk to each other ? brady : your call . [ sighs ] arianna : okay . yeah , we can talk . yeah . melanie : sweet , cool . bad news , though , the lake is not really doing it for me anymore . so i 'm gon na let you guys do your thing , i 'm gon na head out . there are two turkey sandwiches in there , along with maggie 's divine potato salad , so you know , knock yourselves out . and i 'll see you later , okay ? [ clears throat ] arianna : you think she 's right ? you think we made a big mistake ? [ scene_break ] chloe : why are you suddenly turning against philip ? daniel : no , i 'm not turning against him . i just ... you know , he 's older than melanie , and that can throw off the balance of power in a relationship . and i would n't want him , you know , pushing her around . chloe : well , you 're older than i am and you do n't push me around . daniel : no , i do n't . but philip does . chloe : what are you talking about ? daniel : like right now . he wanted you to keep a secret from me . chloe : he thought he was protecting melanie . daniel : well , what 'd he think i was gon na do ? read her the riot act for telling him something that i probably should n't have told her myself ? chloe : oh , my god , this is all my fault . daniel : see , right there . right there -- and that 's the other thing that bothers me . why is it you 're always upset after you 've been talking to him ? chloe : i 'm not . daniel : you are . and look how philip 's handled this . he finds out that you 're gon na have a baby , he does n't keep it to himself and wait for you to go tell him the good news , you know what he does ? he gets in his car , in the middle of the day , and he comes to congratulate you . and then next thing you know , he 's trying to get you to keep something from me . chloe : it was just a little white lie . daniel : yeah , to him maybe . well , i hope he 's not tying my daughter up in knots the way he does you . chloe : the only reason i 'm tied up in knots right now is 'cause you wo n't let it go . daniel : i can do that . if you 'll do something for me . i just wish that you would put maybe a little distance between yourself and philip . [ scene_break ] sami : what is it , nicole ? 'cause i thought you had decided to chase after brady now , and that you were gon na leave me and ej alone . ej : it 's fine , let 's just get out of here . sami : no , in a minute . i wan na understand what 's going on . you think you have a chance with brady . but to do that , you have to make sure that arianna 's behind bars -- this is sort of how i figured it . so ej 's screwing that up for you , so now you 're gon na screw with us ? nicole : what is all this `` us `` talk ? is he reeling you in again ? wow , nicely done , elvis . ej : you 're exactly right , samantha . so why do n't we get out of her presence before she does anymore harm . sami : no , i wan na hear her say it . so what is it ? is this about brady ? or are you gon na try and do something to screw with my life again ? [ scene_break ] philip : hey . melanie : hi -- hey , what are you doing home ? philip : looking for you . melanie : why ? philip : in my fantasy , you were n't wearing this bathing suit . melanie : oh , yeah ? philip : mm , here . melanie : what ! philip : you like daisies , right ? melanie : yeah , i do . what did -- what -- i just get flowers for no reason ? philip : is n't it our five month anniversary or something ? melanie : mm . you 're setting the bar awfully high . i 'm gon na be expecting this treatment now for the next billion years we 're married . what , did i say something ? [ scene_break ] chloe : could we please not argue about philip ? daniel : so you 're not gon na do what i asked ? chloe : what ? keep my distance from him ? i do n't really see how that 's possible , considering he 's your daughter 's husband , for one thing . daniel : okay , okay , okay . so together , we go out as a couple ... but you avoid seeing him one - on - one . is that so difficult ? chloe : no , i guess not . but do n't you think that 's a little mean , just to suddenly blow him off ? he 's a good friend of mine . daniel : no , no , no , he 's not just a good friend , chloe . and you know damn well he 's more than that . chloe : what ? daniel : no , you guys were together before , right ? you were once a couple ? chloe : yes , but i do n't -- daniel : so does n't it occur to you that that might just make me feel , i do n't know , slightly uncomfortable ? chloe : come on , you have no reason to be jealous about -- daniel : this is n't a question of jealousy . no , you are with the guy all the time . now why is that ? why ? he is a married man , for god 's sake . not to mention he has a job . an important one , apparently . but yet , you know what , he has all the time in the world to come and see you . to congratulate you on a pregnancy that he 's not even supposed to know about . chloe : i ... i do n't know why you 're so mad . daniel : no ? all right , well , let me clue you in . chloe : wow . daniel : i was being a little disingenuous before . chloe : okay . daniel : i am jealous .

[ scene_break ] chloe : i did n't realize that my friendship with philip felt like a threat to you . daniel : what , you thought i 'd be thrilled about it ? you guys , and your little meetings at the brady pub or wherever ? then him coming over here today ? and you telling me that you confide in him all the time . chloe : not all the time . daniel : and yet , when i asked you just to keep a little distance with him , you think i 'm being unreasonable . and then , boom , you just shut me out . chloe : fine ! i do n't think you 're being unreasonable . i agree to it , okay ? i 'll avoid philip kiriakis like the plague . if he ever calls or stops by , god forbid , i 'll just tell him , `` philip , i 'm sorry , we 're not allowed to be friends because daniel feels excluded . `` daniel : you know what ? you know what , never mind . just forget it ! you do whatever the hell you wan na do , all right ? chloe : daniel , wait . daniel : mm . [ scene_break ] nicole : you 're just trying to intimidate me because you know i can deliver the goods . ej : nicole , if you really felt that tape would convince samantha , you would 've played it by now . you know the problem ? when you got out of prison , you should 've left salem . just packed up your bags and disappeared . you would 've been fine . but you had to come back here because you wanted to get even with me and you wanted to dig your talons into brady . well , you 've lost on both counts , you understand that , do n't you ? samantha and i are very , very happy . nicole : mm - hmm . ej : she despises you , and brady will too once i prove that you framed arianna . nicole : you 're all talk , you know that ?

[ scene_break ] ej : nicole , if we have n't made it abundantly clear , we have no interest in anything you may have to say . sami : actually , i wan na hear , 'cause i wan na -- ej : do n't let her do this to you , come on . sami : are you serious ? gabi : hey , what 're you doing here ? arianna : oh , the station was down a camera operator , so they called me in . do you know where the action is ? nicole : right over here . so is the truck ready to go live ? arianna : arnie , are you ready ? whenever you are . nicole : yep , yep , yep . you should n't have said that i did n't have the guts . because now i 'm gon na do this in front of your whole fan club . nicole : hey . brady : hey , what is this ? what 's going on ? nicole : brady , wow . now you 've just made this whole thing complete . you are not gon na wan na miss this .

[ sniffles ] daniel : no , do n't be sorry . chloe : i 'm not blameless in all of this . daniel : what ? no , no , vivian set you up . only you did n't know anything . and me , i was just being a selfish idiot . chloe : but i did things . daniel : no , shh . listen . you turned to philip because he believed in you when i did n't . and you told him all the ways i was letting you down , right ? right ? well , you know what ? i forgive you . can you forgive me ? okay . chloe : [ sniffles ] daniel : so , look ... baby , so the way i figure it we can keep feeling guilty , or we can move on . what 's it gon na be ? chloe : [ sigh ] [ scene_break ] ej : okay , you can stop this little scene right now . nicole : do you think this lip gloss is too shiny , or is it okay ? ej : what ? nicole : you know , ej , i knew that i wanted to do this in a big way , i just did n't know how . but then when you launched into this -- this nauseating paean of praise to yourself about you and your big family , then it came to me . i thought why not just do this right now ? your whole family 's here , right ? and by the way , is n't this the place where you tossed sydney 's bloody clothes into the river to convince sami that her baby was dead ? you see , i want all of your loved ones up close and personal when i tell all of salem what a monster you are . sami : look , i do n't care what she says , i am convinced that this is all because nicole is upset that ej 's representing you and bailed you out and everything . arianna : why ? because she thinks it makes it harder for her to get with brady ? nicole : wrong answer . brady : well , then what is -- what is the answer ? nicole : well , you 'll find out in a minute . tell the truck i 'm ready to go . [ scene_break ] philip : what 's wrong ? melanie : i threw you with the nursery part ? philip : um , yeah , kind of . melanie : look , i know we said we would backburner the idea of having a kid , but ... philip : uh - huh ? but ? you know , i just thought that we were gon na have a little bit of time to ourselves . you know , live life , and ... i mean , you have n't even finished nursing school yet . melanie : i - i - i 'm still not talking about now . i 'm not , it 's just , you know , finding daniel , and now he and chloe are gon na have a baby , just ... philip : mm - hmm . melanie : i do n't know , it just made me realize how great a good family could be . i 'm just saying maybe we could find a house that is kid - friendly for later . you seem upset . philip : oh , no , its that you just -- i 'm a little surprised . that 's all . and look , we can start looking for houses , and they can have as many rooms as you want . how about that ? melanie : really ? philip : mm .

ej : no , you do n't get to tell me that i am making a mistake , all right ? listen , i know the law just as well as you do . and this is what i want . so just do me a favor and make it happen . all right ? thank you .

i mean , what 's -- what 's going to happen to him ? rafe : good news . just checked the status of allie 's ' flight , and she 's coming home on time . sami : wait . oh , i missed her so much . i can not wait to put my hands on that girl . rafe : yeah . i kind of got that when i saw the menagerie of new stuffed animals in her bedroom and the six bags of groceries full of her favorite foods . sami : are you suggesting that i went overboard ? rafe : you are allowed . totally . sami : uh , yeah . i better be . do you think that johnny and sydney will want to come with us to the airport ? rafe : i do n't know . if they do n't , i 'll stay here with them . sami : or we could just drop them off at grandma 's , and then you could come . rafe : yes , but if i stay here , you can go see allie alone and talk to her , since she is going to be seeing me for the first time . sami : oh , god . i just do n't know what to say to her . i mean , how do i explain ? how do i explain to my daughter that it 's all my fault that she has been through this ? bo : okay . thanks , man . hope : hey . bo : oh , hey . how 'd it go with frankenrafe ? hope : uh ... i 'll tell you all about it once i delouse . bo : that bad , huh ? hope : oh , my god . seriously , i just -- you know , i think pretending to be rafe kind of kept a lid on his essential scumminess . the gloves are off now . bo : so you were n't able to make a deal ? hope : [ sighs ] well , he does n't trust the bradys any more than he does the dimeras . he said he 'd rather take his chances in prison . bo : aw , hell . hope : you know , he 's just -- he 's a pig . he -- the last thing he -- never mind . bo : what ? hope : i just -- bo : hey . what ? hope . hope : he said , `` give that pretty little girl of yours a big , wet kiss from uncle rafe . `` wait , bo . no , no , no . stop , stop . stop . you ca n't let him see you like this . it just gets him going . and he 'll enjoy it . take a deep breath . breathe . okay . bo : [ exhales deeply ] all right , all right . there is another way to prove that he 's connected to the dimeras . ej : [ sighs ] what do you want ? chad : [ sighs ] the truth ? what did you and stefano do to rafe hernandez ? rafe : hon , i do n't think that feeling guilty is going to be a whole lot of help to allie . sami : i know that . but she 's going to be looking to me for answers . i 'm her mother . i should have answers . rafe : well ... sami : but i do n't . i mean , why did n't i listen to her when she told me that rafe was mean to her ? i should have done something . rafe : like what ? sami : anything . anything would have been better than telling her to be patient with `` rafe `` because he was n't acting like himself . oh , my god . i ca n't believe i said that . rafe : sami , it was like the second or third time that she said that he was mean to her , you got her out of here . sami : i should have kicked his ass out . rafe : sami , listen to me . you never stopped thinking that something was wrong with the guy . you never stopped trying to get to the bottom of it . sami : i should have known . rafe : all right -- sami : rafe , i should have known . rafe : sami , please . we talked about this , did n't we ? right ? you said you were n't going to beat yourself up about this . listen , i 'm a trained fbi agent , and under those circumstances -- i mean , come on . sami : oh , come on . i have grown up with the dimeras . i know what they are capable of . rafe : your little girl is coming home . that 's what 's important , okay ? focus on that . otherwise , the dimeras , they win . okay ? hope : you saw the double staring at a mug shot on rafe 's computer ? mccarthy : right . bo : one of our roadblocks is that we have no idea who this guy is . i mean , it 's -- it 's like stefano erased him from the database when he hired him . hope : well , he probably did . bo : so if this guy is a friend , any kind of connection , it could be a start . mccarthy : yeah , luckily , i got a good look at the mug shot . i just have to find it again . hope : does the double know you saw it ? mccarthy : yeah , i told him i thought the guy looked like a sicko . and he got all offended . hope : i won ... what .. bo : what ? hope : what if -- what if the guy in the mug shot is n't a friend ? what if it 's the double with his real face and his real name ? bo : and he was checking the database to see if he was still there . hope : exactly . it makes sense . bo : mccarthy , find that picture . mccarthy : i 'm going as fast as i can , boss . it 's just going to take me a while to track down everything he looked up . hope : listen , i could go back in . tell him we 're on to his true identity . maybe that 'll -- bo : no , no , no . let him sit there in his own stink . stare at the walls . i want him to think we 've given up on him . hope : yeah , well , what are we going to do ? stand around here and hope we get lucky ? bo : no , there 's another way to go about this . hope : i was hoping you 'd say that . bo : tell you about it in the car . hope : let 's go . bo : hang in there . hope : we 'll be back . lexie : ooh , that was rough . daniel : ugh . maxine : how 's mr. clark doing ? daniel : well , we got it all . he 's in recovery . maxine : already ? daniel : yeah , our friend lexie here had the idea that the tumor was bigger than it looked in the scan , and , uh ... she was right . lexie : well , i 'm just happy for the patient . maxine : well , i 'll bet you his wife and three little kids are happy too . you two are the best . daniel : thank you . lexie : whew . i am so glad that things turned out well . i mean , i was ... i was afraid i would n't be myself in there . daniel : yeah , i saw the paper this morning . lexie : yeah . most everyone did . daniel : well , i did n't know what to say . lexie : oh , you mean there 's nothing in the card store that says , `` thinking of you after your father created an exact double of his grandchildren 's stepfather `` ? daniel : well , you know , in this town , they could make money on a card like that . lexie : [ laughs ] you know what , you 're right . daniel : just saying . lexie : goodness . well , i guess all that talk about rafe not being himself was accurate . daniel : yeah , i know . you know , sami brought rafe in here a couple of weeks after the accident , and the mri scan showed that he did n't have an accident . guess we know why . lexie : mm . one thing you can say about my father and brother . they 're creative . daniel : [ chuckles ] yeah , how is it that you decided to use your superpowers for good ? lexie : oh , i flirted with the dark side . did n't turn out well . daniel : let me , uh ... let me buy you a coffee . lexie : yeah . yeah , thanks . daniel , you know ... when i think of what sami and those children went through , i could -- i could strangle my father . daniel : yeah , it ca n't be too easy for you , either . lexie : ugh . no , i 'm -- yeah . it 's not just me . i mean , the media -- sugar , please . thank you . is all over abe . because he 's married to a dimera . daniel : mm - hmm . lexie : i just -- i just wish i could convince abe that we should take a leave of absence . get out of this town . take theo away . daniel : you could do that , but would n't that be running away ? abigail : i saw chad at the hospital when ej was a patient . and he told me that stefano already has made him feel more a part of a family than he ever felt with his mother and the guy that he thought was his father . jennifer : i know . he grew up believing the d.a . was his father , right ? and now the d.a . could be prosecuting his real father . that 's crazy . abigail : what 's this going to do to him , mom ? jennifer : well , stefano and ej , they have n't been charged yet . abigail : well , the news said that they kidnapped sami 's husband . and they passed off that other guy as him . jennifer : right , but nothing 's been proven . abigail : as far as we know . and they have that other guy in jail . jennifer : all right . well , you know what i - i see from this ? i see two really good things . abigail : really ? 'cause i do n't see any . jennifer : well , listen , chad was n't involved in any way . right ? and now , he 's going to have to see what the dimera family really is . abigail : hmm . chad said that stefano 's starting to rely on him . jennifer : whatever that means . abigail : if stefano and ej go to prison , then ... does that mean that chad becomes the head of their family ? jennifer : well , you know what , that could be his worst nightmare . and yours too , honey . ej : you want me to confide in you , is that right ? man to man . chad : i want to know what to say when the phone rings and it 's a reporter . ej : you tell them to shut the hell up , and then you hang up the phone . chad : oh . so you did it . you kidnapped rafe ? and you put that other dude in his place ? ej : let 's just say that i 've been advised by my attorney not to say anything . chad : oh , you know what ? that 's -- that 's cool . because you know what ? i have a feeling that anything you tell me is just gon na be a bunch of bull . [ knock at door ] sami : oh . it 's , uh , aunt hope and uncle bo . hey . both : hi . sami : what 's up ? is there some news ? bo : uh ... we need your help . lexie : no . i do n't see trying to shield my son from his grandfather 's criminal activities as running away . daniel : okay . i 'll shut my mouth off . bad habit . sorry . lexie : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . no , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . daniel : no , no , no . lexie : oh , god . i ... i just want to go away , and stay away until this is all over . daniel : all right , you know what bothers me is that it 's you , abe , and theo should n't be the ones to have to leave town . lexie : yeah , i know . i know . [ sighs ] even if we do , i mean , this will never be over . daniel : you seem pretty sure they 're guilty . lexie : come on , daniel . you know what they 're capable of . [ sighs ] but theo does n't . you know , my baby does n't . he does n't . and because he 's so young , and because he 's on the spectrum , i ... i do n't know how to tell him why i want to take him away from his uncle and his grandfather . you know , i mean , to him , i 'd be the bad guy . jennifer : here 's what i think about this situation . do n't borrow trouble . abigail : who has to borrow it ? there 's plenty to go around . jennifer : have you even talked to chad yet ? abigail : no , and that bothers me , too . jennifer : yeah , he 's got a lot to think about . abigail : i know , i know . jennifer : well , listen , you -- you were really careful with him , you know , from the very beginning . and now you trust him , right ? abigail : yeah , but he had me convinced that the dimeras had somehow cleaned up their act . now i know they were just going underground . jennifer : all right , but it does n't change the fact that you are a smart cookie , and you think chad 's a good guy . so a good guy is going to keep his distance from a bad family . abigail : yeah , well , try . who knows if he 'll actually be able to ? jennifer : my money 's on chad . abigail : yeah , well , your money was also on dad , and look how that ended up . jennifer : abigail , i want you to stop talking about your father like that , okay ? ej : why would i lie to you ? i mean , you 're a part of the clan . right ? you having second thoughts ? chad : this is n't about me . ej : oh , come on , chad . come on , be a little bit creative , hmm ? i mean , think about it . think outside the box for a second . you could , uh -- you could be the good son . you can be the -- the michael corleone , hmm ? you can have evolved . chad : so you 're just going to jerk me around instead of leveling with me ? what , afraid i 'm going to call the cops ? ej : try and get this through that thick little head of yours , chad . i do n't really give a damn what happens to me . rafe : you 're kidding me . he turned down witness protection 'cause he does n't want to rat on the dimeras ? sami : he 'd rather go to prison for murder ? bo : yeah , and he wo n't last inside . hope : yeah , if his big mouth does n't get him killed , then -- sami : stefano probably will , right ? hope : absolutely . rafe : right . so you said you needed help ? bo : yeah , we 're trying to figure out who the double was before stefano turned him into you . rafe : hmm . got any leads ? hope : well , he was looking at , uh , mug shots on your computer . we 're thinking maybe he was looking at his old self . bo : if we could figure out who he was , you know , it could give us some leverage . sami : of course . so what can we do ? bo : actually , it 's you , sami . you 're the one who spent the most time with him , and i 'd like you to think about that time and see if you can come up with anything that could help us . rafe : bo , you know , allie 's ' coming home today . bo : yeah , good . good . rafe : yeah , yeah , it is good . and , um , i was just talking with sami , and i think the best way for us to move on is just to focus on being a family right now . just try and put some of this stuff behind us . hope : sami , we know how much you 've been through . rafe : i do n't see how . sami : it 's okay , rafe , actually . i want to help . i want to do whatever i have to to nail those bastards . chad : you could go to prison . ej : chad . i 've already lost ... everything that matters to me . i lost my father 's respect . i lost the woman that i love , and i 've lost my children . most of all , i lost my children . so in answer to your question , yes . i ... arranged for rafe to be kidnapped . and i was involved in the impostor taking his place . i did it because i wanted to end samantha 's marriage to rafe , and i did not want him to become a father to my children . i had means , i had motive , and i had opportunity . so here . brother . you go ahead . you call the police . you tell them what i just told you . chad : look , ej . i do n't think i should be the one to do that . ej : do it ! rafe : i just do n't want sami to have to relive that nightmare . there 's got ta be another way . sami : no , you know what ? this is gon na be different . rafe : well , how ? sami : because . because i 'm in charge . i get to help . i get to help everybody nail them for what they did to me . and then i wo n't feel like such a victim . bo : we 're not just relying on sami . she 's our backup in case this mug shot thing does n't pan out . sami : look , i am happy to be your plan `` b , `` okay ? hope : no one knows ej and stefano like you do . if you could just help us prove there was a conspiracy between them and the double , then that means anything he did , they also did . sami : so if he murdered fay -- hope : in the eyes of the law , they murdered fay . sami : okay , what do you need ? bo : so think about the interactions between the double and the dimeras . anything that can prove their connection . hope : anything . anything you remember , no matter how small or inconsequential it seemed at the time . it could be the nail in their coffin . abigail : so dad 's a good guy now ? is n't that , like , revisionist history ? jennifer : now , sweetie , i know that sounds confusing . abigail : yeah , it kinda does . jennifer : i know . i 'm confused too . abigail : so what exactly are you confused about ? jennifer : you know what , sweetie , it 's -- it 's difficult . it 's -- it 's really complicated to -- to end a marriage with the father of your children . i would n't even have you right now if i had n't been so in love with your dad . and he with me . so listen to me . just because ... just because something ends , it does n't mean that it did n't have great value , okay ? i mean , imagine if we looked at life like that . you know , i mean , we all know that it ends at some point . but it does n't take away its meaning . abigail : i know . jennifer : good . look at me . all i 'm saying right now is that i think that maybe i have gained some perspective . but , like i said before , i love your dad . because he gave me you and your brother , and you are the two greatest blessings in my life . sami : okay , so at the very beginning , we were having this birthday party for , um , for sydney and johnny , who 'd just come back from the hospital . and , uh , so we needed a cake , right ? and ej said he would go get one . and then `` rafe `` offered to go with him . which i thought was crazy at the time , because obviously , rafe would not want to spend two minutes alone with ej . hope : right , of course . they wanted to talk . bo : good , good . that 's a start . sami : but it 's not enough , right ? um , oh . he , um , he made a pass at stephanie . hope : are you -- what ? bo : dirtbag . sami : she said it was really creepy , too . hope : yeah , well , i 'll give her a call and find out exactly what happened . rafe : you might want to call nicole , too . he hit on her as well . sami : how do you know that ? rafe : she came by here after i got back . wanted to pick up where they left off . sami : i will scratch her eyes out . did he hit on everything that moved ? bo : okay . well , nicole will be useful . she hates ej . sami : there 's someone else you should talk to . jennifer : so tell me , what 's -- what 's going on in your pretty little head ? abigail : i 'm wondering if ... if you 're thinking that -- jennifer : what ? thinking what ? abigail : that it 's okay if chad 's the father of my children . jennifer : what ? honey , i - i do n't want to think about the father of your children . for at least ten years , please . look , all i 'm saying is that people are more complicated than you 're willing to admit , okay ? abigail : chad got a girl pregnant in high school . jennifer : all right . uh , is he a part of that child 's life ? abigail : no . the baby , she , uh ... she died when she was only a few months old . jennifer : oh , that 's -- that 's awful . i 'm sorry . abigail : this changes everything for you , right ? now chad 's the spawn of the devil and i have to break up with him . jennifer : no , sweetie , i did n't say anything like that . but you are having a hard day , and you are obviously really upset with me . abigail : i 'm sorry . jennifer : it 's all right . i think that maybe you realize , more than i even thought , how complicated people can be . abigail : well , with chad , things just keep getting more and more complicated . but you know , it -- maggie told me that , uh , i should n't be afraid of love . jennifer : guess what ? aunt maggie is always right . abigail : is she ? jennifer : yeah . abigail : then how come you had it and you went screaming in the other direction ? maxine : i hate to interrupt , but i think there 's a mistake on the o.r . schedule . they have you scheduled to work both days this weekend . daniel : no , that 's not a mistake . maxine : you 're working six days in a row ? daniel : well , if i do n't have a problem with it , you should n't have a problem with it . maxine : your life . lexie : well . um , i - i thought you were taking jennifer to san francisco this weekend . daniel : mm , no , that 's canceled . lexie : why ? daniel : maybe you should ask her . ej : well , that makes it official . chad : i do n't know what you 're talking about . ej : yeah , you do . you made up your mind . you decided to become a dimera . start with a rich soil , sami : the reason i ended up kicking him out was that dario showed up here and confronted the creature about how he had had a woman here the night before . bo : what woman ? sami : i do n't know . some skank he picked up in a bar . rafe : her name was alicia . she came here also . she was like 5'10 `` , green eyes . dario could probably give you a better description . bo : well , good . good . um ... if she was a stranger , maybe he was more open with her . hope : well , guys , uh , you 've been a huge help . thank you so much . if you think of anything else , just please let us know , okay ? bo : yeah , sorry to have to put you through this again , sami . sami : you know what , i 'm happy to help . i will do whatever i can . and actually , there is something else i 'd be more than happy to do . bo : what 's that ? sami : [ scoffs ] you said i spent more time with fake `` rafe `` than anybody else . you give me half an hour alone with him , i 'll get whatever you need . jennifer : you know what , i am on a deadline . and i need to get back to my work . abigail : oh . you do n't want to talk about breaking up with daniel so that he can hook up with carly and save her from being a drug addict ? jennifer : i 'll have you know that carly 's doing a lot better . abigail : oh , is she ? is that because she has hope now that she and daniel are going to work out ? jennifer : maybe . abigail : there is no hope for her and daniel , mom ! he wants you . i mean , does n't that even matter to you , what he wants ? daniel : i do n't know . jen , she said a lot of stuff , but i do n't know . i do n't know . i do n't know if i believe it . lexie : do you want to share with me the nature of this stuff ? or -- or is that being nosy ? daniel : no , no , no , no , no . you know what ? here 's -- here it is . she said -- she said she thought that things were going too fast . rushed . and she does n't want to be emotionally dependent on a man . lexie : is this about jack ? daniel : yeah , well , see , that 's what she wants me to think . lexie : you do n't believe it ? daniel : uh ... lexie , i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't know what to believe . i mean -- i mean , her divorce . just finalized . maybe she looked at the paper and she realized that 's -- that 's not what she wants . i mean , i -- lexie : yeah , but i mean , how could she want to be with a man who -- who left her ? basically went halfway around the world and does n't even call her . daniel : i do n't know . i do n't know , but she 's not talking . lexie : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i -- really , i thought the two of you were good together . daniel : oh , i did too . i did , i felt the same way . i was feeling it . we were into it . but now , i -- you know what , i have no choice but to just back off . ej : [ sighs ] chad : just tell me one thing . how involved was father ? ej : [ sighs ] you 're hoping ... that i 'm going to tell you this was all my idea ? somehow i forced him to be complicit ? chad : well , he was pretty angry with you this morning . said he never wanted to see your face . what the hell am i supposed to think ? ej : care about him ? chad : he saw a set of test results and he took me in . tried to get to know me . made me part of the family . guy who raised me was n't like that . not even when he believed i was his biological son . ej : you love him ? chad : yeah , guess i do . ej : then it may interest you to know that when i go to prison , father will be sharing the cell with me . this other rafe ... this creation ... was his idea . sami : they 've got to give me some time alone with the creature . i mean , he 's told me that i drive him crazy . he 'll tell me all about ej just to get me out of his face . rafe : yeah , he 'll also say anything he can to hurt you . you 've been hurt enough , honey . sami : he ca n't hurt me now . he ca n't touch me . johnny : it was on tv . sami : what ? what was , sweetheart ? johnny : it said that daddy and nonno might go to jail . it 's a lie . we spend a lot of time on the feed jennifer : you know what , sweetie , i do n't like hurting daniel . abigail : but you 're just doing it anyway ? jennifer : you know , carly 's sanity is more important to me than my happiness or daniel 's . abigail : do you ever feel like a busybody ? like you 're arranging people 's lives for them ? jennifer : you know , i really hope that 's not what i 'm doing . abigail : well , i 'm thinking about breaking up with chad before i even know how it plays out , so . like mother , like daughter , right ? jennifer : i think that you are trying to avoid getting hurt . and that is completely understandable . abigail : what are you doing , mom ? are you really trying to protect carly ? are you trying to stay true to dad ? lexie : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . are n't you the man who was just lecturing me about not running away ? daniel : well , i was told when a woman says `` no , `` she means no . lexie : hmm . well , here 's something else about a woman . you might want to listen to this . when her man does something that upsets her , sometimes she wo n't say anything . but in her head , she opens a computer file with his name on it . it has a little icon with his face on it . and she starts storing stuff in there . daniel : really ? lexie : mm . until one day , he does something -- maybe not even that big of a thing , you know . like , uh , i do n't know . throwing dirty gym clothes on the bed or something . and she 's like , `` all right . that 's it . i 've had it . `` daniel : yeah , but see , jennifer was n't like that . lexie : no ? daniel : no . lexie : oh . okay , well , on the off chance that she is like that , do n't you think you have a right to know what 's in that file ? would n't that be best for both of you ? sami : hey , johnny , i guess i thought we agreed that you were n't gon na watch tv unless rafe or i were in the room . johnny : my video was over . sami : did sydney see it ? johnny : no , she fell asleep . rafe : yeah , i carried her to bed . sami : oh , great . thank you . so , um , what did you see , exactly ? johnny : the -- the lady on tv said that daddy and nonno might go to jail because of the bad things they did . rafe : hmm . sami : you know what ? no matter what daddy has done , it does n't change how he feels about you . johnny , look at me . he loves you . and he always will , sweetheart . hey , um , you know allie 's ' coming home in a little bit . johnny : i know . sami : yeah ? do you want to go with us to pick her up at the airport ? rafe : well , all right . how about this ? maybe when we come home , we 'll have pizza night . the way we used to . sami : [ gasps ] pizza ? pizza with mushrooms ? johnny : pizza with mushrooms ? rafe : no , no , no . no mushrooms . sami : what ? rafe : i 'm ordering it with extra broccoli . oh , yeah . johnny : i hate broccoli ! sami : that 's right , i forgot . he likes cauliflower . cauliflower on his pizza . rafe : i forget . sami : oh , i know . johnny : i hate cauliflower ! sami : [ laughs ] rafe : what ? sami : okay . all right , pizza with mushrooms . and then you know what else ? when sydney is ready , maybe we can stop by the toy store . johnny : yeah ! sami : [ laughs ] oh , i 'm so proud of him . rafe : me too . sami : i mean , i know we say it all the time , but just with everything he 's been through , he is so strong . rafe : i know , right ? i wonder where he gets that . sami : [ gasps ] rafe : guess . sami : stop it . you are still totally in the doghouse . the whole alicia thing ? rafe : yeah . sami : stop , stop ! rafe : come on . [ both laughing ] bo : and that 's everything ? no , no , no , stephanie . it 's -- it 's very helpful . yeah . miss you too . bye . hope : what did she say ? bo : well , he acted like he was trying to comfort her after she broke up with nathan , but she knew he was just trying to grope her . hope : what a pig . bo : yeah , she did n't give us anything that could be of any use . what about alicia ? hope : yeah , well , i 've been trying to track down rafe 's brother , try to get a full description . but i ca n't get him on the phone , and he 's not at the cheatin ' heart . mccarthy : all right . i got it . hope : what ? bo : [ exclaims ] ej : chad , the only difference between father and me is that i feel some sort of remorse for what i did . and he 's just sorry that he got caught . chad : so you 're going to lay this on him ? sell him down the river ? is that -- that 's your plan ? ej : my plans are none of your business . chad : you know , when you asked me to be your best man , you said you were all about family . that was a lot of crap . you say you did this for johnny and sydney ? you did this so you could stick it to sami and rafe . and you and father are headed to jail . johnny and sydney wo n't have a father or a grandfather . i wo n't have a brother or a father . kate wo n't have a husband . and you made this happen because it pissed you off that sami wanted another man ? ej : looks like you have me all figured out . chad : i thought i did . i thought you were this powerful , sophisticated guy who could get anything he wanted . and i was the jerk who knocked up his girlfriend and disappointed just about everyone . but at least i had some sense enough to realize what i got when i became part of this family . you had it all , but you blew it all to pieces for every one of us ! you 're the jerk . jennifer : hey . hi . daniel : i want to talk to you . jennifer : i would love to , but i 'm on a deadline . and i need to get out of here . daniel : je -- [ sighs ] abigail : i 'm sorry to bail on you like this , but , uh , you do n't want me around right now . i would just be a drag . a total buzzkill . no , it 's not about chad . [ door opens and shuts ] abigail : okay , maybe it is about chad . listen , i got ta go . have fun . chad : you heard , did n't you ? what happened ? come on , let me have it . mccarthy : so his real name is arnold feniger . hope : no wonder he did n't want to tell us . bo : mm . mccarthy : he 's got a rap sheet a mile long . operated mainly in the detroit area . bo : mainly petty larceny . was n't very good at it . hope : he must 've thought he hit pay dirt when he was recruited by the dimeras . bo : did n't know he was way out of his league . good work , mccarthy . now that we know who he is and where he 's from , we can use it against him . what are you thinking ? hope : i think i know a way we can get to him . sami : okay , you really think she 's going to like this doll ? rafe : uh , yeah . well , if she does n't , you can always give her one of the other 15 toys that you got her . sami : all right . i just ca n't wait to have her back . ca n't wait to have her in my arms . johnny : are you two going to kiss ? sami : so what if we are ? rafe : yeah . johnny : gross ! rafe : gross ! sami : oh ... i 'm gon na kiss you next . johnny : [ laughing ] rafe : get him , get him ! sami : you get kisses . you get kisses from everybody 'cause we 're a family . [ smooching ] more kisses all the time . bo : as of this moment , hope brady has no official capacity with the salem p.d . sami : you listen to me , ej , and you listen good . taylor : but i still love him . | at the dimera mansion , ej was on the phone with his lawyer . he wanted his lawyer to get started on his case . chad walked in the living room and demanded to know the truth about what he and stefano did to rafe . ej did n't want to confide in him . chad did n't think ej would tell the truth anyway . they continued to argue about what was happening to the family . ej finally admitted that he did arrange rafe 's kidnapping and told chad to call the police . ej told chad that stefano would go to jail with him since creating fake rafe was his idea . chad thought that ej was going to put the blame on stefano . they started fighting again . chad told ej that he ruined the family and then he left . at the pub , jennifer and abby talked about jack , chad , daniel , and carly . abby wanted to know if she was really protecting carly or staying true to jack . at the loft , rafe let sami know that allie was on her way home . sami wanted the whole family to meet allie at the airport . rafe thought sami should talk to allie first . sami blamed herself for everything that happened . rafe convinced her that she did everything she could to protect the kids . |
nicole : i 'm waiting . dario : hey . nicole : hey . [ instrumental music ] dario : what 'd deimos say when you guys met up ? nicole : he said he would tell dario : that 's awesome . so why is n't it on the news that he 's alive ? nicole : i 'm kind of wondering that myself . can we just do this later ? philip : just tell me what 's going on with deimos . i heard he 's alive and back . kate : who told you that ? philip : chloe . kate : i was right . deimos : there 's always knocking . kate : now , would you have opened the door ? deimos : what do you want , kate ? i thought i made myself pretty clear that i did n't want to see you anymore . kate : well , whether you like it or not , we have some unfinished business that we 're going to settle today . [ dramatic music ] theresa : finally . what took you so long ? brady : i got here as soon as i could . i 'm sorry . listen , has anybody called or anything ? belle : no , no ransom calls , nothing . theresa : summer could have taken tate to china by now . belle : have you heard anything ? brady : yeah , i have . theresa , your blood work tested positive for a -- a strong barbiturate , and there was residue of that drug in your protein drink . theresa : oh , yeah ? well , guess who put it there , brady ? summer . belle : pretty much nails it : tate was taken , and it was premeditated . theresa : [ crying ] you know , that bitch , she was so smug . she just looked at me like i was a complete idiot , and she just loved twisting the knife . `` so , oh , you take care of your son . `` brady : theresa , theresa . all right , honey , i got to stop you there . we do n't have any proof that it was summer . theresa : [ sobs ] oh , my god , you are defending her ? what -- god . [ crying ] chloe : hey , i 'm late for breakfast , i know , but i 've got parker sorted for the day with his friend josh , whose family is taking them to the lake for a picnic . philip : he 'll like that . chloe : yeah . philip : glad you made it . chloe : yeah , me too , especially if this meal lives up to its hype . i mean , really ? it 's gon na be life - changing ? philip : could be . how 'd you like to be a star ? dario : i guess i was right . nicole : right about what ? dario : that deimos was gon na screw you over . nicole : he came back to salem . dario : even if he did , the cops still suspect you of foul play . nicole : well , not for long . not once people see him walking around town . dario : if they even do . nicole : okay , deimos ca n't hide forever . besides , why would he want to ? he came back to salem to reclaim his life . dario : maybe he thought it was n't worth it and decided to disappear again . nicole : he would n't do that . not with the way he -- dario : not with the way that he feels about you ? you -- you keep saying that . i guess we 'll see if those feelings are real or not . eduardo : dario . dario : hey . eduardo : hey . got your text . glad to see you here . and this remarkable person is ? dario : nicole walker , eduardo hernandez . nicole : oh , mr. hernandez , it 's a pleasure to finally meet you . eduardo : ms. walker , yeah , it 's a pleasure to meet you . nicole : thanks . eduardo : yeah . so , son , let 's talk . you want to join me in the office ? dario : no , no , no . this is fine . i 'll make it quick . [ soft background music ] dario : i decided to take the job . i 'll run this place for you . eduardo : awesome . you just made my day . thank you . i got a feeling this may be the positive first step between you and me that i 've been hoping for . dario : yeah . yeah , i got that . i would n't put too much hope into anything . the only reason i 'm taking this job is 'cause i need the money . eduardo : yeah . deimos : and what business could you and i possibly still need to discuss ? kate : well , first , there 's the fact that when i got to titan this morning , i was barred deimos : hmm , kudos to my security staff for being on the ball . kate : [ chuckles ] you know , maybe you 've forgotten , but i have a contract with you that guarantees me employment as ceo . deimos : mm - hmm , well , that contract is now null and void . kate : well , my lawyers will have something to say about that . you know , i talked to them this morning , and they 're ready to go to court unless i am back in my office by lunchtime . deimos : you really sure you want to do that ? kate : what , stand up for my rights ? deimos : forcing me to go to the police , tell them that you falsified a marriage license ? and then again , there 's that little business of you trying to kill me . kate : [ scoffs ] that was an accident . deimos : mm , yeah , you say `` tomato , `` i say `` attempted murder , `` and that 's how i 'm gon na continue to see it just as long as you insist on taking this adversarial stance against me . but then again , if you agree to go quietly from titan , i 'll consider backing up your story when i 'm questioned by the salem pd . kate : you 'll `` consider `` ? deimos : mm - hmm . just as soon as you return all the money that you siphoned from my accounts and transferred to your own accounts in the cayman islands . kate : i have no idea what deimos : it 's all right here , kate , in black - and - white pix . [ dramatic music ] kate : you would really do that ? you 'd take everything from me , after all of the things you have taken already ? deimos : what the hell are you talking about ? kate : you know exactly what i 'm talking about . were going to have a future together , so i put things aside . i even put aside my fears of getting involved with another man because of what you led me to believe , you son of a bitch . deimos : oh , kate . we both made mistakes . now , i suggest you do n't make another one . philip , what are you talking about ? philip : do n't worry , i have n't been drinking . here 's the thing . chloe : oh , good . philip : i -- i told you how i got my hands on this record label ? chloe : yeah ? philip : well , i got to admit , i 've had a hell of a time getting the thing up and running . hard to sign singers and bands unless i already have names on the label that they recognize . so having you walk back into my life was a godsend . chloe : really ? all i did was help you sober up . philip : yes , you did , but you also told me that you were having a hard time getting nightclub gigs . chloe , you are definitely label material . how about we do a record ? let the whole world know that you 're back , talented as ever ? john : yeah , looking forward to hearing from you . just make it soon , ronnie . paul : i thought you said he could get in trouble by helping us . john : did him a lot of favors in the isa . he owes me . paul : so you told him to contact all of his contacts and have his contacts contact all their contacts . talk about telling a guy what to do . john : that 's how you get it done , kid . tuck it away for future reference . paul : i will . listen , i -- i hate to say this , but is there some sort of rule of thumb , like if you do n't find tate before the end of the day ... [ dramatic music ] john : the only rule that i go by is : you never give up . now , call these guys . use my name . do n't let 'em beg off . paul : got it . john : trust me , kid . we 're gon na find him . brady : i 'm not defending summer . theresa : yeah , sure , you are . brady : no , i 'm not . theresa : yes , you are , brady . it 's what you do . belle : theresa , let 's just try to calm -- theresa : you know what ? she conned him out of $ 50,000 . did he tell you that ? brady : she -- she gave it back . theresa : [ scoffs ] oh , so that makes her a saint ? brady : theresa , let -- let -- no , she 's not a saint . listen to me . but there 's nothing that she 's done to indicate that she could kidnap a child . we do n't have any proof . we do n't have a ransom . theresa : what ? she is not ... brady : we do n't have anything like that . theresa : after a ransom , brady . she 's after revenge . why do n't you understand that ? we told her to leave town . you told her you did n't love her , and so now she paid us back belle : okay , you know what ? i should probably go . brady : belle , i do n't -- i do n't want you to go . i want you -- i want you to tell me , do you think summer could theresa : will you please stop trying to find someone else to stick up for that horrible woman ? look , she has our son , she dario : running this place will just left behind ? nicole : hmm , and what did he dario : shady stuff . nowhere near legal . nicole : all right , well , is he still ? dario : he says he is n't . whatever , you know . he -- he comes back to town , he acts all humble , and he completely fools my brother , my mother , my sister -- nicole : but not you . i get it . can i just ask you one question , though ? would it kill you to take his word for it , at least on a trial basis ? everyone deserves a second chance . dario : [ chuckles ] you 're talking about deimos . roman : uh , let me talk to you later . [ dramatic music ] deimos : from the expression on your face , commissioner , i gather you 're not accustomed to seeing people return from the dead . roman : not as a rule , no . kate said nicole walker tried to kill you . pushed you into salem river . is that true ? deimos : everything i have to say here today will be the truth , the whole truth and nothing but . deimos : so , commissioner , i understand that kate showed you a video of some of the argument that nicole and i had at the river . roman : she did . got it on file . deimos : well , i 'm here to assure you that nicole did not push me into the river , nor did she harm me in any way . roman : okay . um , who did ? deimos : no one . it was an accident . you see , i had been drinking heavily that night , and i was upset , stumbling about . and fell . roman : kate , you swore nicole pushed this man in the river . deimos : right , but she was very confused . it did happen very quickly , and i 'm sure that kate is also very sorry that she made such an accusation . kate : yes , i 'm very sorry . roman : mm - hmm . okay , um ... so where have you been all this time , mr. kiriakis ? deimos : once i , i contacted from a while back , who h commissioner , i 'm fine . it 's all in the past . we can all move forward now . i mean , you did marry kate like she claimed , right ? deimos : yes , i did ... we 've agreed to annul the marriage and go our separate ways . roman : [ snaps fingers ] just like that ? kate : well , it was rash , eloping to vegas . it was fun and romantic at the time , but -- deimos : right , and in the sober light of day , we both realized that we prefer being single . roman : sorry it did n't work out for you two . kate : so am i . roman : well , okay , then . hell , case closed , i guess . thank you for coming in . deimos : my pleasure , commissioner . i 'm glad i could clear things up for you . no need wasting any more of the taxpayers ' dollars on this nonsense . roman : so long as we got to the truth . deimos : that we did . chloe : philip , this is really sweet . i mean , it 's such a morale booster , but i 've never worked as a recording artist . philip : well , then it 's time . chloe : again , i 'm flattered , but i do n't know . working long hours in a studio , touring , publicity trips -- i do n't think that 's exactly the life for a mom of an eight - year - old son . philip : what if we make it all revolve around parker , so you 'd never have to be away from him ? chloe : wow , okay , hard sell . okay , let 's get real for a second here . i mean , you have n't heard me sing for years . for all you know , i 've lost it . philip : let 's find out . nicole : maybe we should n't talk about deimos anymore . obviously , he gets to you . dario : no , nicole , he obviously gets to you , and i do n't know why you wo n't admit it . eduardo : here we are . nicole : oh , thank you , mr. hernandez , but i -- i ca n't . eduardo : eduardo , please . nicole : eduardo . eduardo : yeah . nicole : but you two should really celebrate by yourselves . family is important . dario : uh - uh , nicole , you are not bailing on me now . you -- you stay right there . eduardo : yeah , please do . any friend of my son 's is always dario : besides , dad here is gon na want to get to know you . dario : nicole used redecorate the place , give it oh . nicole : okay , please , do not put your father on the spot . everything in my life is up in the air right now . eduardo : well , if you 're interested , just say the word . dario has faith in you , obviously , and he 's in charge . nicole : thank you . i appreciate the confidence . eduardo : you 're welcome .

[ soft rock music ] belle : come on , theresa . how is this brady 's fault ? theresa : because he 's the one who brought summer to salem . he could n't get enough of her in california . no , so he had to bring her home . belle : that 's not the way maggie explained -- theresa : oh , and he just loved the way she fell in love with him , and you know , no matter what kind of crap she pulled , he kept defending her over and over again , telling me not to be mean to her because sweet little summer was so , so sad and she tried to kill herself -- brady : stop it -- stop it . theresa : you know what ? brady : that is not -- theresa : he was still -- still recovering from his heart transplant when he went into the ocean after her . did you know that ? he could have died . [ crying ] [ laughing ] and oh , man . you know , summer , waiting in the wings for brady to fall in love with her . belle : hey , but that did n't happen . brady : no , it -- it did n't happen . [ keys clattering ] belle : because he loves you . theresa : well , she paid him back by stealing our son . belle : okay , hey , come on . let 's just all take a breath here , okay ? just take a breath . theresa : [ sobbing ] [ knocking at door ] theresa : do n't touch me . [ weeping ] shawn , hey , hey , have you found anything -- anything about tate ? shawn : look , i 'm sorry . the detectives had a few leads , but nothing panned out . theresa : what ? no , of course not ! because everybody 's looking in the wrong place ! [ dramatic music ] convinced that summer townsend took their son , and god help anyone who tries to convince her otherwise . shawn : thanks . belle : but it is kind of understandable , you know ? that fear . shawn : yeah , she 's terrified . if you 're not feeling up to it , i mean , you could probably ask your mom , and she could stay with theresa . belle : oh , no , i 'm fine . i just hope they find tate soon . shawn : look , something 's gon na break . belle : hey , how 's she doing ? brady : i managed to get her to lie down . i 'm -- i 'm sorry she was -- shawn : believe me , if anybody knows what this feels like , it 's us . so belle says that theresa said she 's 100 % positive that summer townsend 's behavior shawn : but you do now ? brady : yeah , she did , but she was n't wrong , belle . she conned me . [ dramatic music ] brady : and the last time i had it out with her , i told her i did n't want her in my life anymore , and she was more than angry with me . she was ... the back door 's always locked . i mean , i do n't understand how she could get in the kitchen and slip a drug into theresa 's drink . shawn : look , she 's a con artist . i 'm sure that she can find a way . brady : can you -- can you stay here for a little while ? i -- i -- there 's something i have to do . belle : yeah , not a problem . brady : thank you . belle : yeah . shawn : take care . i should probably go too . belle : okay . shawn : are you sure you 're okay ? belle : i 'm good . shawn : all right . belle : good luck . [ door closes ] chloe : seriously , philip ? come on , this place gives me the creeps . philip : hey , i understand you do n't want to run into my uncle deimos , but i got a text from my mom saying they 'll be at the police station for quite a while . so let 's do this . it 's a great piano . chloe : well , if you do n't remember , i ca n't really play the piano . i mean , i could play a few chords . philip : that 's cool . whatever you need . go for it . chloe : okay . [ piano chords ] [ piano chords in a higher key ] chloe : something calls me calls me back again so softly , i hear it i 'm always coming back to see you just like the returning thief who asked you and life 's sweet mysteries i 'm always coming back to see you [ dramatic music ] deimos : that was beautiful . kate : so , you 're singing in salem ? why are you back in town , chloe ? philip : have n't you learned by now it 's impolite to pry ? kate : oh , should i just ignore her ? chloe : you know what ? i 'll leave this up to you guys to debate . i 'm gon na go . philip : wait for me . i 'll ... drive you -- or not . kate : so , if you had to be serenaded , you could n't have found another piano in town ? philip : sorry , i thought you 'd be at the station a little longer . how 'd that go , by the way ? kate : well , everything 's resolved . philip : the way you 'd hoped ? deimos : i did n't throw your mother under the bus , if that 's what you meant . kate : just threw me out of the house . philip : and your marriage deimos : kate : along with my job and any money that i might 've made recently . deimos : speaking of which , we still have some paperwork to finalize . philip : you gon na be okay ? kate : oh , i 'll land on my feet . i always do . but god help anyone who stands in my way . belle : could n't sleep ? theresa : bad things happen when i close my eyes . any news ? belle : no , brady left to go take care of something . theresa : [ scoffs ] probably went to the hardware store to get some duct tape for my mouth . i 've said such horrible things to him lately . but i 'm not wrong . why ca n't he understand that ? what i 'm feeling ? i mean , honest to god , it 's like no one understands . belle : i do . our daughter claire was kidnapped . theresa : really ? belle : mm - hmm . she was taken to ireland . believe me , i know what that panic feels like , that -- just utter fear . theresa : but you found claire . belle : we -- we got her back , and that entire situation brought shawn and me closer than we 've ever been before . theresa : good . glad to hear it , but do n't count on that for brady and me . john : yeah , thanks , i 'll check it out . anything else you come up with , let me know . paul : can you give me more than that ? john : you know , if i do n't use your name , they 're not gon na ask . just write down exactly what they said as soon as you get off the phone . the wording could be important later . paul : right . john : remind me to give you a crash course in gregg shorthand also . now , we 're gon na go into the web next . start with social media . type in tate 's name . let 's see where it takes us . paul : right . you know , we should check out anyone talking about new adoptions too . that could be a cover story for -- john : human trafficking . black market . damn , kid , you 're picking up on this fast . go . paul : dad , you okay ? john : yeah , just the reality of what we 're doing here . [ pounding at door ] john : yeah , it 's open . brady : dad , i need your help . i need you to locate summer townsend now . roman : thanks for coming in . brady : what 's -- what 's going on ? roman : good news . now , we really did n't get into how he survived , but he said it was an accident that he fell in the river , so you 're off the hook . nicole : that is good . roman : yeah , thought you might feel that way . nicole : yeah . did he say anything about kate ? roman : well , that they actually did get married before he disappeared . nicole : he said that ? roman : he did , but apparently , they have decided to put a quick end to that . nicole : that is good . i mean , i -- i 'm glad everything 's resolved . [ chuckles ] [ dramatic music ] kate : just do as i say . transfer the funds into the account i gave you . no , you wo n't be able to contact me at the office any longer . if you need me , call my cell . satisfied ? deimos : just as long as you do n't try to double - cross me , everything is hunky- dory . kate : you know , i could n't help noticing that chloe went completely white when she spied you in the doorway . deimos : did she ? kate : philip told me that she was back in town . he also mentioned that she said that you were alive , and nicole was n't responsible for you falling in the river . deimos : nicole was n't . kate : yeah , how did she know that ? are the two of you acquainted ? deimos : that 's no longer your concern , kate . after all , we are having our marriage annulled , remember ? speaking of which , with that ring , we de - wed . time to give it up . kate : i suppose you 'll be trying to give it to nicole again . deimos : as i said , not your concern . kate : has n't she humiliated you enough ? deimos : do n't push it , kate . kate : you know , helena should be happy that she did n't marry you . it was probably a blessing that she fell off that cliff . deimos : and you should be happy that i 'm not strangling you right now . kate : really ? because what would nicole think about that ? but then again , this is who you really are , is n't it , deimos ? [ door slams shut ] brady : you had n't heard ? both : no . dario : no idea . that 's -- that -- that 's terrible . eduardo : so your son and -- and your grandson . my god , you guys must be going out of your minds . we will help in any way that we can . brady : thank you . dario is actually key here . have you spoken to summer since she left town ? dario : no . brady : you mention a thief . dario : yeah , but she 's not a kidnapper . brady : good . tell us where she is , so we can prove you right . [ jazzy background music ] belle : okay , two hot ... hey , you hang in there , okay ? there are still plenty of reasons to hope . theresa : hope , sure . hope is meaningless . look , i -- i ca n't just sit here , okay ? i have to do something . i know summer kidnapped my son . i know that . she did it to get back at brady . i know that . belle : well , if that 's true , brady will find the proof . the police , the fbi -- theresa : no , i ca n't wait for brady or the police or anybody , okay ? i have to take care of this myself . summer went , i would tell you , honestly . eduardo : it 's too bad she did n't confide in you . you were pretty much her only friend , were n't you ? dario : yeah . a lot of times , summer was n't clear about things . she just -- she would just disappear . brady : do me a favor . if she contacts you in any way , you let me know , all right ? dario : of course . eduardo : ag john : appreciate it . brady : hey , belle . belle : brady , are you anywhere near a television ? brady : yeah , yeah , i am . why ? brady : can someone turn on the titan channel , please ? eduardo : sure . please , if anyone sees my son or knows where he is , contact the salem police immediately . not only is it the right thing to do , but i am offering a $ 1 million reward to anyone who can bring my son tate home to me .

[ scoffs ] abigail : i do n't really see the analogy between my situation -- jennifer : there 's -- there 's none , there 's no analogy . but do n't you think that you deserve some joy after everything that you have been through ? and you just keep putting yourself out there like this . abigail : mom , i 'm -- jennifer : no , i 'm not gon na stop . i can see it in your eyes . i can see the sadness , and that is what 's breaking my heart . can you please ... reconsider this arrangement with dario ? before it 's too late , before something goes horribly wrong . kayla : i do n't understand what you mean , after seeing what i do . tripp : i - i just , uh ... you 're so smart and so kind , and being a doctor takes a lot of study and dedication , and i 'm just not sure i could ever measure up , you know ? steve : tripp , listen . you know , it 's understandable that you 're feeling a little unsure of yourself , but i ca n't tell you how many times she 's told me that you really do have what it takes . tripp : she 's kind of prejudiced , though , right ? me being family and all . kayla : no . i am not being prejudiced , not in the least . i am being absolutely objective when i say that you are smart and you 're quick and you empathize with the patients . that is n't something that can be taught . it 's a gift . steve : listen ... you do n't have to make a decision right now , okay ? why do n't you just look over the study guides and think a little bit more about what you wan na do . kayla : you know what ? i 'm right here . so if you have any questions or you wan na talk about it ... okay ? steve : son ... you really should listen to kayla , okay ? 'cause if she says you 've got what it takes ... pretty damn sure you 've got what it takes . okay ? 'cause in my experience , she 's never wrong about anything . [ kayla giggles ] [ soft music ] jade : this thing is , i 'm still in love with joey , but we 've been broken up for months , and i just do n't see myself getting out of the friend zone with him . so ... i 've decided it 's time to move on . eric : i think that 's very wise . but just because you made up in your mind to let go , that does n't mean your heart is ready to let go yet . jade : right . ca n't just turn off your feelings , can you ? eric : no . not in my experience . jade : so what do i do ? eric : you find a way to put that energy into a new focus . jade : you know , i actually think i know what that focus might be . eric : yeah ? what 's that ? jade : my mom called last night and she told me that my grandmother passed away . eric : jade , i 'm so sorry . jade : thanks . she was really old and she had been sick for months , so ... it was n't really a surprise . but nana ... she was a force of nature . i really looked up to her . she never judged me . or anyone else , for that matter . kinda like you in that way . my mom is ... a whole other story . but she did call me and ask if i 'd spend the rest of the summer with her . help clean out nana 's cottage . eric : it sounds like she wants to spend some time with you . jade : yeah . i guess after everything that 's happened , she 's realizing how important family really is . eric : i think you should take a chance . you should go for it . jade : really ? eric : yeah , you know , just because people make it more challenging , that does n't mean we should stop trying to love them . nicole : the horton center is a strong supporter for those in need , and i am more than happy to fulfill my community service with such a wonderful organization . uh , yes ... eric brady is my supervisor . no , there 's no issues . why ? have you heard otherwise ? [ exhales ] well , we were engaged , but that was a long time ago . i assure you , mrs. simmons , that my past with mr. brady has no bearing on the work that i do at the center , which is very important to me because ... i want to prove to judge thorpe that i am responsible enough to raise my daughter . yes , yes , of course . you can stop by any time . thank you .

[ somber music ] think you should go and be with your mom . jade : you know what , joey ? i have been loyal to you ... and i 've loved you since day one , and what do i get in return ? dumped on the side of the road like trash . i even overlooked the fact that you killed someone in cold blood . you murdered tripp 's mother , and i kept my mouth shut -- does n't that count for something ? your brother would have destroyed you by now if he knew the truth -- but i kept your dirty little secret . maybe i was wrong about you . maybe you 're the one who 's not worth it . [ somber music ] steve : so ... just think about what kayla said . because , like i said , she ... kayla : i am not always right . no one is . but i 'll tell you something . i am right about this : you are smart , and you 're good with people . okay ? but whatever you decide to do career - wise , your father and i are behind you a hundred percent . steve : that 's right . tripp : thank you , that -- that means a lot . steve : i got ta go help joe fix his icemaker at the loft , but i just wan na tell you ... makes me really happy that you two are getting closer . see you later . kayla : so , uh , you still gon na do rounds with me ? tripp : yeah , yeah , i am . i wan na see how mr. chancellor 's doing after his surgery . kayla : great ! well , i think that he 's first up , so shall we ? scott : dr. brady . kayla : oh , hi , scott . scott : i was looking for you . kayla : yeah . have you met my stepson tripp ? scott : no . kayla : this is scott mitchell -- he 's chairman of the hospital board . both : nice to meet you . kayla : what can i do for you ? scott : well , before you go see your patients today ... we need to talk . abigail : there 's nothing to reconsider , mom . it 's done . jennifer : not necessarily . i can help you , honey . abigail : you know what i need from you , mom ? i need your support . and you already promised that you would give it to me . jennifer : yes , i did . but i can not support you when i know that you 're hurting . abigail : i can take care of myself , mom . jennifer : yes , i know you can . but what concerns me is that you have not really thought about this . i mean , you married a man to help him out . is dario hernandez really worth the trouble ?

[ dramatic musical buildup ] nicole : okay , we were under the influence of halo that night . eric : i had plenty of reasons to kill deimos . he was responsible for xander kidnapping you and me . he hurt people i loved . nicole : i know , but from what i remember , you did n't even know deimos was at the party . eric : maybe i learned he was there when you were in the bathroom . [ edgy music ] nicole : yeah . when i splashed water on my face ... but why ? eric : just talk this through . we had a toast ... and then we were in my room . [ edgy music ] nicole : then we imagined daniel ... talked about forgiveness , and then ... [ gasps ] then i , uh ... i gave daniel a kiss good - bye . [ breathing hard ] [ murmurs ] i , uh ... i need to go ... splash some water on my face . [ edgy music continues ] brady : hold on a second . you 're married to abigail ? as in chad 's wife ? dario : uh , chad 's ex . look , man , i do n't know what kinda game you 're playing , but if something happens to her -- dario : abigail and i are in love . brady : oh . dario : so you need to mind your own business . speaking of businesses , should n't you be bothering some other people since the ceo of titan just got arrested for murder ? brady : if anything happens to jennifer 's daughter ... you 're gon na answer to me . [ soft dramatic music ] abigail : i ca n't believe you 'd even ask me that . jennifer : is that an unfair question ? you know the gdr has been involved in illegal activity -- abigail : yeah , but mom , that 's eduardo . that was eduardo . he 's the one who broke the law . it was n't dario -- dario 's not his father , mom . jennifer : abigail -- abigail : he 's a very decent and kind man who 's always been there for me , and i know he would never do anything to hurt me . dario : abigail 's right . i 'll never do anything ... to hurt your daughter , jennifer . that -- that is a promise . jennifer : i really hope you mean that . dario : i do n't make promises lightly . jennifer : i need to go . i 'm late for a meeting . [ edgy music ] steve : there we go . just a little adjustment , she 's good as new . should have plenty of ice in no time . [ somber music ] you okay , son ? joey : oh , yeah . yeah . i was just , uh ... i was just going over my fall schedule before you got here and ... i have to admit , i 'm not feeling too inspired to ... finish school . steve : well , you feel like you 're not gon na do well or ... you 're worried you 'll flunk out ? what ? what 's goin ' on with you ? joey : just not feeling it , i guess . steve : okay . you got ta finish school whether you 're feeling it or not . education is important . it 's very important . you know that . it 's not something you can just walk away from because you 're not inspired or whatever . you got ta make it your business to get inspired . do you understand me ? joey : yeah , i do . and i 'm trying . but i have no idea what i wan na do with my life . steve : well , that 's okay . you 're still young . you got plenty of time to figure that out . joey : tons of people my age already know what they wan na do . like tripp . steve : hey ... no one is comparing you to tripp . or to anyone else . joey : i know , but obviously , tripp wants to be a doctor , you know ? he 's shadowing mom . she 's really invested in his future . and that 's fine . i 'm happy for him . but he has a goal . he has ... a direction . steve : are you feeling jealous ? that it ? joey : i guess maybe i am . i 'm not confident like tripp . sometimes i ... wish i were more like him . scott : kayla , we reviewed your cases of the past two months , and we 've found another error in your notations ... unfortunately . kayla : who was the patient ? scott : warren sherman . you were treating him for emphysema . kayla : that 's right . scott : you prescribed morphine . kayla : it 's part of the protocol . scott : well , your dosage was well over the standard and may have contributed ... to mr. sherman 's death . so the review board has launched a full investigation and , uh , until we have some answers ... seth burns and i have to suspend you . we have no choice . we 'll put you on paid leave . [ dramatic music ] joey : i feel like such a loser ... being jealous of my own brother . being jealous of anyone . steve : come on , joe . you 're human , are n't you ? we all feel jealous at times . competitive ... want what the other guy has . believe me , i 've felt it plenty in my life . joey : still , it seems so petty . i mean , i 'm grateful to have an older brother . i really am . tripp and i have been ... getting along great . and ... he 's cool . he 's easy to talk to . steve : i 'm sure he feels the same way about you . joey : there 's only so close tripp and i can be . you know that . steve : [ sighs ] joe , i ... i do n't think that necessarily has to get in the way . joey : i killed his mom . of course that gets in the way ! even if he does n't know , hell , i know ! steve : of course you do . and you 're right -- how could it not get in the way ? it was a stupid thing to say . joey : even if tripp never knows the truth ... i have a feeling i 'm not done paying for killing ava . kayla : um ... i respect your decision . i understand . scott : i 'm so sorry that it had to come to this , kayla . [ sighs ] i 'll be in touch regarding scheduling your formal interview with the review board . kayla : and i 'll arrange for someone to take over my duties as , uh , the chief of staff . scott : appreciate that . tripp . [ dark music ] tripp : kayla , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . kayla : yeah . me , too . [ tense music ] nicole : [ whispering ] you know , um ... you said something ... about maybe ... having something to drink and that you did n't wan na go down that road again . eric : right . and then i started talking about daniel . i told you that i saw him , that i thought he was here , but obviously , i was hallucinating . nicole : i guess i was so high that just the suggestion of him being here ... [ sighs ] i saw him too ... telling you to forgive yourself . telling me to forgive you . eric : and then we kissed . nicole : oh , my god . oh , my god , i thought -- i thought you ... were daniel . i thought ... i thought i was kissing daniel . eric : when i told you i had done something bad ... i do n't think i was talking about deimos . i was talking about ... kissing my brother 's girlfriend . so the question is ... do we tell brady ? [ somber music ] brady : i 'm actually glad that i went to a meeting today . jennifer : i know , me too . it always makes me feel calm , no matter how my day 's going . brady : exactly . and i 've been swamped at titan , and the fallout of sonny 's arrest . it 's been nuts . jennifer : and that 's the thing -- when everything gets crazy , you need to make sure you go to the meetings . brady : that 's right . and i know things have been ... crazy for you . i 'm aware of that and i know all about it . jennifer : you know all about what ? brady : ran into dario today . jennifer : oh . lucky you . brady : hmm . yeah , he had some interesting news to share about he and abigail being married . what -- what is that all about ? jennifer : i do n't wan na talk about it , please . brady : so you do n't approve , i assume ? jennifer : that is an understatement , but abigail 's a grown woman . she can make her own choices . brady : speaking of choices , it was interesting . you were in the meeting talking about ... a guy that you had recently been seeing , and , for whatever reason , you two had to break up because you had decided it was n't going to happen . you were talking about my brother eric , were n't you ? [ soft instrumentation ] nicole : i do n't wan na lie to brady . but if i do tell him , i know it 'll hurt him terribly . even if it meant nothing . eric : right . nicole : but not telling him -- i went through that with daniel ... never admitting that you and i ... held each other the way we did when ... when we were in danger , when we were ... trying to keep each other alive . and then ... i did n't tell daniel , and i regretted that deeply . eric : me too . and i do n't want him thinking that baby -- nicole : you know what , we do n't need to talk about that . the point is brady needs to know that we kissed that night , because i do not want history to repeat itself . dario : thank you for ... sticking up for me with your mom earlier . it means a lot to me that you believe in me . [ soft piano ] abigail : yeah , actually , um ... i did n't wan na say anything to her earlier because i think she 's got a lot to deal with and i did n't want to worry her . but , um ... i got ta be honest , dario . [ sighs ] dario : okay . abigail : i 'm having some serious doubts about all of this . [ somber music ] steve : joe ... i know you 're still hurting over what happened with ava . and i know ... you 'll always carry the weight of that . but with time , it will get easier . i promise you that . and it 's good you 're still going to counseling . keep doing that . and you know you 've always got me and your mom to lean on . you know that , right ? joey : yeah , i know . i 'm grateful for that . steve : is there something else goin ' on ? joey : yeah . it 's jade . [ somber instrumentals ] she 's ... leaving . steve : she 's leaving town ? well ... that 's good . i mean , i think she could , uh , benefit from some distance . joey : yeah , yeah , i think she could too . but , uh ... i 'm gon na miss her . i 'm hungry . steve : well , go make yourself something to eat . joey : you want anything ? steve : no , no . no , thanks . [ phone rings ] [ ringing ] [ line ringing ] [ beep ] steve : hey , sweetness . how ya doing ? kayla : not good . steve : what 's going on ? kayla : i ... i 'm being , uh , suspended from the hospital , and , um , and they 're going to investigate me . steve : okay , you stay put . i 'll be right there . kayla : [ whispers ] okay . [ phone beeps ] [ heavy sigh ] [ emotional music ] brady : i talked to my brother recently about you , you know . he was ... pretty disappointed with the way in which things worked out . i think he was hoping that they would , i mean ... jennifer : yeah . i - i -- me too . i just ... i do n't think ... being in a relationship is in the cards for me anymore . brady : how can you even say something like that ? that 's crazy ! jennifer : brady , i have been so lucky . i had -- i had one ... great love in my life , and that was jack . and he gave me two beautiful , somewhat challenging , always amazing children , and i ... am so grateful . i 've had a full life . brady : your life 's not over yet , though . you 're young . there 's so much more to do . do n't ya think you might be able to give eric another chance ? eric : brady was upset just hearing that . nicole : that you and i woke up together -- i know . eric : and we assured him that nothing ... nothing happened . nicole : now we 're gon na tell him that something did ? even though it was just a kiss ? i mean , thank god we did n't -- it was -- it was just a kiss . eric : just a kiss . [ edgy music ] nicole : but still ... he 's ... very sensitive to even the thought of my betraying him . i have to tell him we kissed . [ soft music ] dario : what are you worried about , abigail ? abigail : look , i - i know what we are doing is not exactly on the up and up . committing fraud is a very serious offense . but i have made a choice to help you because you 've been a very good friend to me , very caring and very honest . you 've always been very upfront with me about your intentions and your actions . dario : and i ca n't tell you how grateful i am for your help . and i promise that your faith in me will be rewarded . i 'm not gon na ... betray your trust or make you regret all that you 've done for me . abigail : i hope not . [ soft music ] abigail : i 've got ta go run a few errands . dario : ' kay . i 'm gon na head to the shower . i 'll text you when i head over to the club . abigail : sounds good . [ lightly somber music ] jennifer : you ... you 're such a good friend , and i know that ... that you want me to have someone in my life . and i think that eric is a great guy , i really do . i just do n't ... think that we 're meant to be together . brady : maybe you have n't given it enough ... time . give it some more time . jennifer : no , we -- i have . we have , it 's ... but like i said , i care so much about him and i really want him to find happiness . brady : [ whispers ] okay . nicole : i ca n't lose brady . and after what 's happened with holly , i mean , there 's only so much i can take . [ edgy music ] nicole : feeling sorry for myself , in case you had n't noticed . eric : no , you 're entitled . nicole : no , i 'm not entitled . i have so much to be grateful for ... and i 'm going to get my daughter back . i have the love of a great man . i ca n't -- i ca n't lose that . eric : nicole , are you gon na tell brady the truth or not ? dario : yeah , no , it 's all here . and no one 's seen it . only me . yeah . later . [ lightly tense music ] [ dramatic musical flourish ] kayla : maybe i did enter the wrong dosage . maybe it really is my fault that mr. sherman died . steve : stop . stop . you 've got ta stop it . kayla ... you 're a good doctor . you 're caring , you 're conscientious . i know that . everyone here knows that . listen ... we 're gon na fight this . you got the best pi firm in town on retainer . kayla : i just do n't know what 's gon na happen to me . steve : you 're gon na come out of this okay -- that 's what 's gon na happen . you 'll be vindicated . kayla : maybe i do n't deserve to be . steve : hey , something 's off here . i can feel it . you 've been wronged . i do n't know how or why ... but i 'm gon na find out . i 'm gon na help you clear your name . okay ? jade : hey . thanks for meeting me . tripp : yeah , sure . what 's going on ? jade : i 'm taking off . i have to get out of salem for the summer . tripp : what ? wait . you 're supposed to help me take down kayla and make her pay for what she 's done . jade : i know , but i just really need to take care of myself right now . and i kinda get the feeling that you 're having second thoughts on taking down joey 's mom ? an attack of conscience ? am i right ? tripp : sometimes ... i do feel sorry for her , yeah . jade : yeah , i get that . well , i should get back to the house . i have to start packing . tripp : all right . jade : tripp . maybe ... you should n't destroy kayla after all . i mean , i know that you wan na get back at her for your mom 's death , but the thing is , she 's not ... tripp : she -- she 's -- she 's not what ? what are you rambling on about ? i mean ... [ suspenseful music ] tripp : what are you not telling me , jade ? | jade got upset with joey when she told him about her grandmother dying . he told her she should go see her mother . jade reminded him what she did for him and realized he was n't worth it . tripp talked to kayla about his career when scott ( a chairman at the hospital ) wanted to talk to her . nicole met with eric because she remembered something . she remembered that he said he did a bad thing . eric remembered that too . he wondered if he killed deimos . they went over what happened that night . brady found out that dario and abby were married . brady warned dario not to hurt abby . jennifer warned abby about getting out of the marriage . dario walked in and heard them talking . he assured jennifer that he would n't hurt abby . scott told kayla that another one of her patients died because of her negligence . he told her that she was on paid leave until further notice . |

abigail : god . sami 's probably taken an ad out in the paper by now , telling everyone what she knows . jennifer : no way , that is not a good idea . she would not air her dirty laundry in public . what would that do to her children ? abigail : that is the thing that i feel worst about . you know i -- i think i could use some time alone . do you guys mind ? jennifer : no , of course not . abigail : okay . i 'm just so lucky to have you guys . thank you . jennifer : hey . i love you , baby , always . jj : and me , too . come here . abigail : um ... i 'm just sorry because i know that what 's coming is not going to be easy for any of us . jennifer : oh , she is right . it is not easy fighting the wrath of sami . eric : sami , just -- just tell me the whole story . sami : well , there 's really not that much to tell . the man that i married was sleeping with someone i thought was my friend . eric : you said you 've known for weeks . sami : i have . eric : then why ? why did you go through with the wedding ? sami : well , for one thing , i did n't want to listen to 16 versions of `` i told you so . `` eric : we would n't have done that . i would n't have done that . come on , you know that we all love you . if you had backed out of your own wedding , we would 've been there for you , and helped in any way . sami : hey , here 's the thing . i helped myself . i am now co - ceo of dimera enterprises . and i am going to make sure that that bastard and his father wind up with nothing . sonny : it 's awful that this has happened . but your mom seemed like she was looking forward to getting revenge . will : that 's just how she buries what she 's really feeling . i mean , she 's -- she 's got to be totally crushed . she 's been in love with ej for so long . and the kids , this is going to tear their lives apart , their family . sonny : will , i 'm sorry . come here . i know this is going to tear you apart , too . theresa : well , brady and i were married today . john : [ laughs ] and where the hell did you get that , out of a crackerjack box ? theresa : no , i got it from my new husband , actually ... dad . john : uh - huh . theresa : yeah , sorry we did n't invite you to the wedding , but ... well , we decided to elope . and in case you do n't believe me , i have a certificate right here . go ahead . john : well , obviously you plied my son with alcohol and drugs to get him to agree to this . but you know something ? he was n't of sound mind , and that is grounds for an annulment . theresa : oh , you do n't know what you 're talking about . john : well , i know that tomorrow , in the light of day , when my boy is sober , he 's not going to be carrying you across any threshold . he 's going to kick you to the curb . that new guy is like a donut , tasty . will : oh , my god . sonny ... i bet that it was my mom who got ej arrested . sonny : yeah . and i bet you she had abigail in the wedding as a form of torture . will : i mean , abigail was such a wreck about this guy . my god , if i had known that it was ej -- sonny : no , no , hey , hey , you know what ? let 's call her right now . we need to call abigail , let her -- will : no . no . i really think that the best thing for us right now is just to stay out of it . jennifer : hey , i saw you called earlier . i did n't hear it . thank you . jj : oh , it was no big deal . jennifer : no ? you called me twice and brought me flowers . jj : um ... i know that you did n't want me to get involved with this thing with paige 's mom -- jennifer : right , you were just going to call paige . jj : i did . but that kind of made things worse and i got upset . so , i decided to go and talk to ms . larson myself . jennifer : honey , i told you not to get involved with eve , and i meant it . eric : do you honestly think that ej and stefano are gon na sit back and let you run their company ? sami : well , they do n't have much choice . kate and i made sure the contract is ironclad . eric : kate ? she 's your co - ceo ? sami : yeah . and the best part is that stefano and ej are the ones who put us in charge . i mean , obviously we tricked them into it but ... we get to keep the jobs for at least six months . it 's irrevocable -- eric : yeah , and how is this going to help anything , sami ? i mean , getting revenge this way ? sami : well , it makes me feel better . and it makes me rich and powerful . eric : and miserable . and in the end , you 're going to be the one who hurts the most . brady : i 'll never tie the knot again as long as i live . theresa : i know how much you hate me , john . i also know how much you want to ingratiate your way back into your son 's life . so you know what ? you want to help brady get out of this marriage ? i have a proposal for you . john : yeah , and what 's that ? theresa : i 'll help you ... if you make it worth my while . let 's say ... a cool one mil ? you write a check , i go back to nevada , have the whole marriage annulled , and you and i , we can forget this whole thing ever happened . brady does n't even need to know about it . hmm ? john : one mil ... theresa : i 'm glad we understand each other . [ on recording ] i 'm glad we understand each other . john : oh ... yeah . it 's over . theresa : you are not going to win . john : already did . when brady wakes up and finds out that you tricked him into marrying you and then you tried to get me to pay you off to dump him ? theresa , he does n't love you . and when he really gets to know you , he 's going to hate you ... for the selfish , lying , little loser whore that you are . sonny : abigail is suffering too . she needs our support . will : and we will give it to her . but not now . i just think we all need to take a little time with this . and besides , she 's got her mom , her brother . sonny : and you got me . will : thank god . you know , sometimes i feel like you 're the only person i really know anymore . you know , ej and i , we 've had our problems . it 's not like i did n't know how ruthless he can be . but i also know that he loves my mother . he really loves her . which is why i do n't -- i do n't get how he could do something like this . to abigail or my mom . sami : what i 'm doing is wrong ? what about what ej and little abby ? what about what they did ? eric : of course , it was . sami : well , then , do n't tell me that you think that ej seduced poor , innocent , little abby deveraux , because -- eric : sami , i 'm not making any excuses for anyone . but if you go running over to abigail 's house , yelling anything vulgar then -- you 've already been there . sami : well , yeah . and if you 're about to say that it was n't going to help , you 're wrong , because it did . i felt great . ej is not the only one who is going to pay for what happened . i am going to make sure that little abby pays , too . jj : mom , listen . i know how you feel about her , and i know that she came across like a selfish bitch -- jennifer : jj . jj : but she 's paige 's mom , and she ca n't be all that bad . and considering that i went to her place to tear her apart -- jennifer : oh , no , jj . jj : no , she was actually ... reasonable in the end . jennifer : `` reasonable `` ? eve ? jj : mom , all i 'm saying is that maybe we should be just open to listening to her . jennifer : no , honey . i have listened . and the answer is no . i really need you to be on my side for this , all right ? if we are going to fight this lawsuit , our family needs to be united . abigail : okay , does someone wan na tell me what 's going on ?

will : all the time . why -- why are you even asking ? chad : she was in with kayla when i showed up . and she was crying . you know , it looked intense . will : oh , i mean , it might just be a work thing . chad : hmm , it did n't look like a hr turf war . sonny : maybe it was about jj ? he 's going through a rough time . she 'd talk to kayla about that . chad : it 's probably just a family thing . so should we look at the tax stuff or ? kayla : you are asking a lot . abigail : i know , but i -- i would n't be asking this if it were n't -- kayla : right , if he was n't a dimera . i got it . and you know what , even if i 'm within the letter of the law , ethically , this is a minefield . i -- you know , i ca n't say yes . but i -- i ca n't say no either , so you know what , just let me think about it , all right ? abigail : thank you for saying that . thanks . i should go . kayla : you know what , i -- i just have -- i just have one more question . abigail : okay , sure . kayla : when you slept with chad , it was before you knew that he was trying to humiliate you , right ?

i mean , you said yes to chad . yes ... so ... why ? do you remember a few weeks ago we were -- we were here at the hospital and we had that conversation , remember ? i mean , it was about this , was n't it ? you were so upset because you felt that you were -- you were attracted to the wrong kind of person and that you were falling in love with somebody who was bad for you . you know , the whole time , i thought that you were talking about ben . but you were really talking about chad . were n't you ? jj : what are you doing with that jerk ? he is trouble , paige . paige : oh , you know all about that . jj : in this case , i do . why would you hang out with him ? paige : because he 's cute , funny , and we have a lot of fun together , so . jj : really ?

this guy is dangerous , and he will end up hurting you . it 's only a matter of time . paige : it really is hard to believe that you have the audacity to tell me that . that you , who did probably the cruelest and most despicable thing that someone can do to someone else ? can be worried that i might get hurt by a guy who 's actually very nice to me . jj : of course he 's nice to you , he wants ... paige : what , say it . jj : no , i wo n't . you know exactly what that bastard wants . paige : oh , unlike you . all you ever wanted from me was love and devotion . jj : do n't do this , paige . paige : oh , what , me ? you 're the one who 's interfering with my life . okay , you 're the one who was the nerve to try to tell me who i should or should n't hang out with . jj : yeah , that 's right . i do have the nerve to try to protect you from scum , and you 're not gon na stop me from telling you over and over again until i get through to you . ben : abigail is the one who encouraged me to give clyde a chance . jennifer : well , abigail knows how imperfect parents can be . ben : well , she 's been really fair about my dad , and he 's crazy about her . hope : must feel good to finally put down some roots , huh ? ben : oh , you have no idea . if i could just stay in salem for the rest of my life with abigail , that would be a dream come true . you know what , let me try and text her . jennifer : oh , yeah . ben : oh , you know what , it 's actually getting late . i got ta get to work . uh , you guys are more than welcome to stay here and wait if you want . hope : no , actually , you know what , i need to get going myself . jennifer : oh . ben : okay . hope : yeah . jennifer : oh , well , i guess -- ben : you sure ?

[ scene_break ] john : nope . it 's not a ploy , doc . not at all . tony and i were trapped in a life - and - death situation . we had a little bit of time to talk about our lives , and we realized , what 's the use of attacking each other ? we have bigger battles to fight . marlena : well , i 'm sorry to sound cynical about this -- john : no , look , realistically , i do n't think tony dimera is reformed . i mean , our experience together did n't fundamentally change who he is , but i realized that i have n't been able to pin anything on him , have i ? i mean , i have n't been able to link him to any real crime , so what the hell am i doing holding on to this anger here , this need for revenge ? i mean , what do i want to do ? do i really want to go around the rest of my life fighting with my -- my half- brother ? marlena : what about the business on the yacht ? you thought he was doing something illegal there . john : yeah , well , listen , whatever it was , it was n't illegal , at least technically . marlena : technically ? john : look -- i ca n't go around regulating tony 's moral compass . i mean , that 's too exhausting . and face it , the guy 's smart . whatever he 's doing , he stays just above the law . marlena : this is so odd to hear you talk like this . what do you want ? you want to tony just to go off scot - free , is that it ? john : no , look , look , i 'm still with the i.s.a . , so i have obligations to fulfill . i 'm just saying that i 'm -- i 'm through letting it get personal . my personal hatred for tony ca n't cloud my judgment . i just -- i got to let it go .

[ scene_break ] sami : lucas , just hear me out for a second . forget for a second that we 're talking about your mom . if she is the kind of woman who would bribe a judge to keep shawn in jail , then she is the kind of woman who would set me up so that you would n't want to marry me . lucas : sami , when our wedding blew up , it did n't just hurt you . i know my mom 's done some bad things , but she would n't deliberately ruin my life and will 's -- she could n't do that . sami : you bet your ass she could .

[ sighs ] nicole : eric , i probably know you better than anyone , and i have loved you ... i 've loved you as a friend for a very long time . eric : a friend ? nicole , we -- nicole : just wait . just hear me out . when you came back to salem , things changed . and we admitted that we loved each other . eric : deeply . nicole : but then i ruined it . eric : but i forgave you . nicole : okay , what i am trying to say is ... when we thought we were going to die , it was only natural that some of those feelings would come back . we thought we were saying our last good - byes , and what you said was so -- eric : nicole , i meant every word , and i still -- nicole : okay , but it was in the moment ! things changed . we were saved . and it ... it breaks my heart if this hurts you because i never wanted to hurt you again . [ sighs ] but the man who saved us is your closest friend and also the man that i love . daniel : what in the hell do you think you 're doing ? xander : serena and i are just having a little disagreement . daniel : you okay , serena ? serena : fine . daniel : good . i think the police would like to know about your little disagreement . serena : um ... uh , daniel , wait . it really -- really was just an argument -- a business disagreement . xander : i hired serena to write an article about a drug my company 's working on . what can i say ? things change . i do n't think we can work together anymore . daniel : is that true ? serena : yes . xander : serena was insisting on seeing the contract -- which i do have on file , by the way -- but since she has n't actually done any of the work -- serena : you know what ? you can forget the contract . we 're done . xander : no . when you return the payment i made , then we 're done . have a nice day , everyone . serena : well , i tried . daniel : you tried ? what were you doing ? hope : i assume you both know what i just told you is classified . brady : of course . victor : yeah , we got that . [ phone ringing ] victor : just do whatever you have to to nail the bastard . hope : excuse me . brady . yeah , where ? sure . yeah , i got it . okay , thanks . if you 'll excuse me , i need to run . when you leave , please shut the door , okay ? brady : okay . this ca n't be easy for you , xander being your nephew and all . victor : oh , the hell with him . brady : granddad . you 're not -- you 're not still involved with xander in any way , are you ? victor : i would n't trust that bastard to give me the time of day . he 's a snake . but he 's smart . you know , i have very little confidence that the salem pd is going to win this one . brady : yeah , i 'm with you on that . victor : maybe i ought to take care of it myself . brady : granddad , no . no , absolutely not . victor : it 's an option . brady : well , it should n't be an option . take it off the table . look , i know things were done differently back in the day , okay , but you 've changed . and the whole family 's very happy about that . bottom line is , nicole and eric are all right , and you have a brand - new great - grandson that just popped into your life , so please , do n't do anything to mess that up for anyone . as a matter of fact , why do n't we go back to the house right now and check up on that grandson of yours ? what do you say ? theresa : oh , finally ! yes ! she 's back . do your thing . rory : come on , dude . it 's me . are you back doing drugs ? jj : no way . rory : okay , well , are you going to start dealing again ? jj : dude , just -- will you let it go , man ? rory : dude ! all i 'm saying is that we made a great team . and look , i could use the cash , and i 'm sure you 're not living large off of what sonny 's paying you as a stock boy . jj : look , stop , okay ? i 'm not gon na do drugs , and i 'm not gon na go back into dealing . rory : oh . okay . well -- eh , it 's probably good . i mean , getting in with that kyle dude , it 's a bad idea . jj : why ? rory : well , i mean , he does n't just move weed . he sells everything : pills , g , meth , coke , h . jj : well , how well do you know him ? rory : well ... why ? jj : i just want to know what he 's like . rory : well , i know that he can come off as a really nice guy , because he 's trying to get your business , but if you cross him , i 've heard he can be real scary . jj : hmm . paige : i 'm not saying i forgive you or anyone . i 'm still not even sure why you did what you -- well ... i know you 'd do anything to protect your kids . jennifer : yes , even when i should n't . paige : you know , a lot of times i wish i could go back and not know things . jennifer : believe me , honey , i feel exactly the same way . paige : but we ca n't . jennifer : no , we ca n't , unfortunately . but starting right now , maybe we could just feel a little less awkward toward each other . [ cell phone rings ] jennifer : sorry . paige : [ clears throat ] jennifer : oh , i 've got to take this . i 'll be right back . paige : okay . eve : so you can forgive her and not me ? daniel : seriously , do i have to warn you about taking on a guy like xander ? do i ? you want to hurt him ? you want to hurt him ? then for god 's sake , testify . about the diamonds , or hell , do it about what he did here today . just do something . serena : daniel , i would love nothing more than to screw xander to the wall , but nothing i do is going to make any difference . daniel : really ? really ? why ? why not ? serena : because he can manufacture an alibi watertight . even though we were just talking , right here , with him , he could say he was a million miles away . daniel : yeah , just like he did the night he tried to kill eric and nicole , right ? serena : exactly ! xander might be scum , but he is ridiculously smart . what ? daniel : you know the first day i met you , all you talked about was eric : how you cared about him , how he made you happy , and all this time , you are using him and helping a man you know is scum . serena : daniel , i would apologize to every single person in this town every single day if i thought that it would help eric . daniel : really ? well , saying sorry is easy . what counts is what you do , and what you did was bring xander to salem , which almost got eric killed , not to mention nicole -- what about her ? serena : okay , whoa , stop . [ laughs ] stop , because that is where i draw the line . the last person i 'm going to feel sorry for is nicole . what happened to her and eric , that is her own damn fault . eric : nicole , i know you too . very well . and daniel . but i also know how much you two struggled trying to make things work , because you still had feelings for me . nicole : we got past all that . eric : if daniel ever knew what happened between us , when we were trapped thinking we were gon na die , do you think he would forgive either one of us ? nicole : eric -- eric : nicole , all i want is for you to be happy , but i do n't think that 's possible for you and daniel . not after what happened between us . nicole : daniel never has to hear about it . if you want me to be happy , then let it go , let me be happy , with daniel . look , i 'm -- i am moving in here today , and i am starting a new life with daniel . a life i am hoping will last forever . the movers are going to be here soon to deliver the rest of my stuff , so -- eric : daniel will be there , right ? nicole : i 'm not exactly sure when , but -- eric : do you know how hard it is for me to ... be there , to talk to daniel ? daniel keeps thanking me for being there , saving you when xander tried to kill you . he thinks i 'm some kind of saint . it 's all i can do not to tell him that when we were alone , locked in that tight space -- nicole : okay , if you 're feeling guilty , you 're gon na have to find a way to forgive yourself and forget what happened . eric : i do n't think i can . [ knocking on door ] nicole : the movers . brady : hey . nicole : hi . hi , victor . brady : uh , we wanted to stop by and give daniel a heads - up about a get- together we 're having . victor : nice to see you , eric . eric : you too , sir . nicole : well , daniel 's not home , but what 's the occasion ? brady : it 's for my son . it 's for tate , and maggie 's gon na plan it . she 'll be in charge when she gets back from chicago , but glad you 're here , because naturally , both of you are invited . daniel : look , that is the most twisted logic . a murderer , a thief , your partner tortures and tries to kill two people , and it 's nicole 's fault ? serena : she hated the idea of eric and me . she would n't stop trying to dig up dirt on me , and then , she starts teasing xander ? manipulating a man who is one crazy son of a bitch , and then it blows up in her face , and you and eric just sweep it under the rug . daniel : what ? serena : you just always forgive her . daniel : no , no , no , no , no . no , if you understood how many -- serena : i do n't want to understand that bitch . daniel , i 'm sorry . you 're melanie 's father , and i do wish you all the best , but i do n't see how anyone could ever be happy with nicole . daniel : i do n't want to hear you say another word about nicole . hope : oh , serena . you 're just the person i wanted to see . rory : so ... what 's the deal , man ? why all the questions about kyle ? jj : he 's been hitting on paige . but if i tell her to stay away from him , she 'll just do the opposite . rory : [ chuckles ] yeah , probably . women , you know ? oh , my god , are you still hoping you can get back together with paige ? paige : i made it clear a long time ago that i will never forgive you or jj . eve : what ? and jennifer gets a pass ? paige : what she did was wrong , but she did it for what she thought was a good reason . eve : no , what she did , sweetheart , was blackmail me . she tried to keep me from telling you the truth . paige : as though you ever would . she thought she was helping . eve : she is a lying witch . why ca n't you see that , sweetheart ? paige : because i 'm not you . you 've hated her forever . and the other day , i finally realized that that hate is exactly how we got where we are today . eve : no , the truth is that jennifer does n't even know -- paige : the truth is -- is that you hate her more than you ever loved me . eve : oh , honey , no , no , no . that 's not true . honey , i pawned off that beautiful ring that your grandpa shane gave me to buy you out of trouble with that awful man ! paige : that awful man -- eve : my god , does n't it prove how much i love you ? paige : that awful man was my partner , remember ? he helped me make you pay . let me guess , you went back to that pawn shop first chance you got . eve : well , i -- i tried , but the ring was already sold . paige : good . that 'll keep it fresh -- what it feels like to lose something precious and never be able to get it back . eve : paige -- theresa : hey , i 'm sorry i 'm late . it was total chaos at my job . where 's tate ? hayley : in his crib . i was just about to go back up . theresa : oh , i 'm so glad you could stay . hayley : you know , i 'm working on my degree , and it does n't help when i have to miss a class because you had another one of your emergencies . theresa : you know what ? i do n't care that you had to miss a class . your job is taking care of my son . hayley : yeah . and i do a hell of a lot better job of it than -- look , just give me more notice next time , okay ? theresa : you know what ? actually , you can leave , because tate 's mommy is here now and he 'll be fine . okay ? hayley : [ scoffs ] theresa : oh , and ps , there wo n't be a next time .

[ chuckles ] yeah . this is my new home . i 'm moving in today . ah . brady : okay , okay , no , no , no , no . we should probably get going . we just wanted to get the ball rolling on this thing , so ... uh , we have some things to do at the house , but we 'll get out of your way . nicole : okay . eric : hey , good to see you . brady : you too . we 'll talk , okay ? nicole : bye . eric , i do n't think you should be here when daniel gets home . eric : i ca n't just drop this . nicole : fine . then let 's just go somewhere else . i 'll text daniel and tell him i 'll do the unpacking when i get back . rory : i mean , after everything that happened , jj , i mean , w -- after paige found out that you did her mom , what , you think that she 's just going to take you back -- jj : hey , i 'm just trying to figure out a way to keep her from hooking up with kyle , okay ? rory : well , that should n't be hard . jj : what do you mean ? rory : well , kyle told me himself that he 's looking to expand his business , so , you know , if you became a customer , he would n't want to cross you . jj : well , i 'm not going to do that . but maybe ... rory : what ? jj : maybe i can put him in touch with some of my old buyers , and then he 'd have to back off to stay on my good side . rory : there you go . jj : but maybe i do n't have to take that kind of risk . i can do this on my own . rory : so , uh ... you want to head to the lake ? i 'm sure there are a lot of bikini babes out on a day like today . jj : nah , nah , you go ahead . i 'm going to try to find kyle . rory : well , that should n't be hard . he 's always hanging out on those benches on the other side of the park . theresa : hey . yeah , i got the baby back in his crib . he 's sound asleep . listen , how 's it going ? did you edit me in yet ? great . okay , and you know how to slip out the back , right ? hey , thanks , man . you 're the best . okay . show time . henderson : miss theresa is with master tate upstairs . victor : oh , do n't bother telling her that we 're back . the last thing i need -- theresa : oh , thank god you 're back . oh , finally . it 's just been so awful . brady : what 's wrong ? theresa : well , there was an emergency at the hospital , so i had to stay longer than expected , and when i got home , tate was up in the nursery all alone , hayley was down here in a total mood because she had to miss class because of her job . victor : is there a problem or not ? theresa : yes , victor , there 's a problem . i went upstairs , and tate was sitting there in a sopping wet diaper just screaming bloody murder , crying his eyes out . i mean , she did n't even bother to check on him . brady : is he all right ? theresa : yeah , he 's fine now . i changed him . i got him settled down . he 's finally asleep but -- victor : well , he was n't that upset then , was he ? brady : i doubt hayley would leave him in a wet diaper for long . you trying to make her look bad or something ? theresa : what is with you two ? you know what , go check the diaper pail if you do n't believe me . that thing 's got to weigh 5 pounds . victor : good god . theresa : [ scoffs ] fine . do n't believe me . hayley 's always perfect , right ? you do n't have to care , but i 'm sorry , i do . tate was neglected . brady : stop , stop . i will talk to hayley tomorrow . victor : oh , do n't bother . no point insulting the young lady with bogus charges . theresa 's lying . and you know what , missy ? i can prove it . brady : granddad , instead of accusing theresa right off the bat , why do n't we try -- victor : relax , brady . proof positive coming up . i installed a nanny cam in the nursery . brady : you what ? theresa : you installed -- oh , my god . victor : i figured it might be needed since there are people here who like to make trouble . brady : granddad , why -- why did n't you say anything ? victor : i just did . theresa : so you 're telling us that you 've been spying on our son the whole time like some peeping tom ? victor : oh , put a sock in it . theresa : you know what , just because you think i 'm a terrible mother -- i 'm a good mother . brady : stop , stop , take a breath , both of you . listen , let 's take a look at the footage , and we 'll see what happened to tate . victor : sure , it 's on the computer . kyle : what 's up , jj ? how 's it going ? jj : it 's going good . i 've been thinking , though , about what you said . kyle : yeah , you ready to get back in the game ? jj : no , but i can sell you a list of my old customers . you interested ? kyle : yeah , sure . jj : all right , good , good , good . i just need you to do something for me too . hope : wow . these are nicole 's things ? daniel : yeah . yeah . look , i know nicole 's not your favorite person -- hope : hey , hey . you 're happy , i 'm happy . daniel : i am . it 's finally clear to me about what i want , and the best part is , nicole wants the same thing . nicole : i 'm not saying that your feelings are n't real . do n't put words in my mouth , but you put all your trust in serena , and then she betrayed you . and suddenly , we 're in the same room together , and i -- i do n't know , i just think maybe it was a rebound thing . eric : nicole -- this is n't about serena . nicole : okay , but still -- eric : you know what ? i get it . you do n't have the same feelings for me . but i 'm not going to spend the rest of my life pretending that nothing happened . theresa : oh , what ? no apology ? you saw how that nanny walked off and left tate alone for , like , an hour . she could n't even be bothered to come back even though he 's crying his little eyes out . brady : [ sighs ] theresa 's right . the diaper was -- it was drenched . victor : well , then , i 'm glad we had the camera because i would have never believed it . brady : hayley 's going to have to be fired . theresa : oh , well , i 'll make the call . brady : no , theresa , listen , stop . i 'll -- i 'll do it . theresa : okay . yeah . you 're probably better at that stuff anyway . brady : i 'll call the agency tomorrow , and i 'll set up some interviews right away . theresa : um , listen , i 'd really like to sit in on those . i mean , it 's going to put off the apartment search a little while , but i hope that 's okay . brady : course . kyle : what 's this favor i got to do for you ? jj : it 's about paige larson . i do n't want you selling to her or even hanging out with her . ever . kyle : jj , what 's your problem , man ? hmm ? why is who paige hangs out with any of your business ? paige : yeah , jj . why would that be any of your business ? jennifer : oh , paige . [ sighs ] xander : there 's no way they 're going to arrest me . they 've got zero on me . so what i 'm going to do is , i 'm going to stay down , stay patient , and when the time 's right , everyone who tried to hurt me is going to pay a very nasty price . daniel : well , i guess i better get some of these things out of here , huh ? here , i 'll put these in the bedroom , and i will be right back . hope : good luck . daniel : oh , thank you . nicole : the best thing is to not make this about us . eric : nicole , listen -- nicole : daniel is a part of this too , and i love him . and if you really do care about me , then you 'll accept that . but whether you do or you do n't , i just need to know for sure . can i count on you to keep this to yourself , or are you going to tell daniel what happened between us ? | xander threatened serena until daniel showed up . they came up with a story for daniel until xander walked away . daniel wanted to know what serena was doing with xander . she said that she tried to set him up , but it did n't work . hope let victor and brady know that the police plan on getting xander as well as anyone who helped him . theresa plotted with anne to make hayley look incompetent . they set up the nanny cam to make it look like hayley 's not doing her job . eric told nicole that he loved her . she wanted to be friends with him . jennifer saw paige at the town square and wanted to apologize for everything . paige told her that she did n't hate her . eve saw them together and was upset by it . rory heard jj talk about kyle on the phone and thought he was dealing again . rory told jj that he sells more than weed . rory warned jj that kyle can be dangerous . paige was willing to talk to jennifer until she had to go . eve went up to paige and questioned how she could forgive jennifer and not her . daniel wanted serena to help by testifying against xander . serena did n't see a point in that because he would get away . daniel mentioned nicole and serena went ballistic . nicole continued to let eric know that she wanted to be friends with him because she wanted a life with daniel . |
[ first 6 minutes missing ] i 'm getting you out of here . i promise . do n't come , please . it 's a zoo here already . yeah . listen , i 'll call you the minute i hear anything . i promise . listen , tell daddy ... tell daddy i said thank you . belle : he shawn : brady , how 's it going ? brady : it 's not , shawn . i think i 've chased about a dozen leads and i have nothing . theresa : shawn , my dad said that an isa agent will be here later to help coordinate the intelligence . shawn : good , that 's great . i mean , that 'll be a big help . brady : is the brady : i was afraid of that . going on television , it 's gon na bring all the nut jobs out -- theresa : yeah , well , at least i did something . brady : yeah , well , maybe you should have consulted -- theresa : oh ! oh , like you consulted me before bringing summer here to salem ? or before you let her con you put of $ 50,000 ? brady : i 've already admitted i 've made mistakes . can we not play the blame game now and concentrate on finding our son ? is that okay with you ? is everybody clear on that ? maggie : that 's not possible . no . absolutely not . summer would n't kidnap tate . she would never ! she could n't ! i certainly hope you are n't the one who put that thought in their heads . john : no , maggie . actually , it 's coming from a lot of different sources . paul : just before summer left , she had a run - in with theresa . she said something kinda strange , kinda like a warning . she said , `` take good care of your son . `` maggie : that 's it ? john : and she also met up with brady . now apparently , summer has had at nothing was gon na hap .. kinda lost it . now given her criminal history -- maggie : for pity 's sake , a criminal history ? she worked as a con artist . that hardly makes you a kidnapper . i 'm telling you she would n't do something like that . victor : maggie , you 've missed several calls on summer since she came back to salem . i know you do n't like to think of her as evil because she 's your daughter -- maggie : you do n't have any proof . that cryptic statement about looking out for tate , i could have said that . i know she 's miffed at brady for not caring about her , but a bruised ego does not turn her into a kidnapper . john : she left town at the same time tate came up missing . paul : she give you any clues of where she might go ? maggie : her adoptive parents lived in texas and then ... she lived in cali -- she lived in california when daniel was out there . paul : how about relatives ? maggie : her adoptive parents are dead . she does n't even know where my daughters live . john : and she has n't contacted you since she left ? maggie : no . summer and i had a falling out . i 've left her messages , but she has n't gotten back to me . please listen . it 's like you 're not hearing me . summer simply is n't capable of doing something this horrible . [ pensive music ] maggie : summer 's phone , it still goes to voicemail . john : yeah , brady tried a while ago . he got the same thing . plus i got a guy that 's trying to track her down using the phone , but it 's definitely been turned off . paul : dad , i just got a text from the guy in la . john : yeah , yeah . i want to talk to him . see if he 's got time . i also want to try to get ahold of harry again . maggie : i know you think she did this . victor : she 's the most obvious suspect . maggie : but why ? victor : hell hath no fury , maybe ? brady did turn her down . maggie : but this is just -- victor : or maybe she 's just in it for the money . maggie : you said there have n't been any ransom demands . victor : yet . maggie : well , if it 's true , then i ca n't help but feel part of this is my fault . victor : what are you talking about ? maggie : because i abandoned her when she was just a few days old . and then when she came back into my life , desperate to be wanted , i could have done so much more to help her , to build a bond , and show her some trust . victor : maggie , you did more than enough to help that woman . not your fault that she 's a criminal . a liar . that she took my great - grandson , deserves to be in prison . or worse . brady : it 's been a long day , okay ? nothing 's going right and i ... theresa , i ... please , do n't -- do n't do this . i need you . i need -- i need us to be a team . theresa , please . theresa : brady , i am really , really sorry that i am so angry at you for bringing summer here . god , i just -- i just -- i feel like i can hardly look at you , brady , and i ... i know -- i know it 's unfair , but i ... i told you , i told you , and i told you that she was trouble , that she would wreck things , that she was a liar , and what did you do ? you sided with her . you sided with her over the woman you said that you loved . brady : the woman i still love . the woman i still -- theresa . please . please , please . i admitted it . i 'm owning this here . [ stammering ] what do you want me to do ? what more can i do ? okay . then i - i 'll go . i 'll go check in with my dad . theresa : [ sobs ] justin : i got one more question . if you indeed loved hope as much as you say you did , why did n't you alert her that stefano planned to kill her ? aiden : justin , i wanted to so badly and i explained this to hope . stefano made it quite clear , if i backed out , if i did n't go through with it , he would kill chase . so i was delaying . i was hoping i 'd find a way out . roman : you know what , aiden ? it 's very strange that you conveniently leave certain pages blank . aiden : excuse me ? roman : you could n't tell hope about the murder , 'cause you 'd have had to tell her about everything , like the fact that you were on stefano 's payroll . like the fact that he brought you back to salem , told you to seduce her . aiden : i am not proud of my weaknesses . justin : weaknesses ? you were n't just gambling with borrowed money . you were gambling with hope 's life . roman : stefano obviously had you pegged . he knew you would n't go through with it , so he made the switch to a hired killer . justin : but right now , we 're actually more interested in why ... why did you add your name to hope 's life insurance policy as a beneficiary just before the attempted murder ? aiden : i -- that -- no . that -- that was n't me . that had to be the dimeras . look , stefano is dead . may he rot in hell . andré is not . he 's the one you should be questioning . he 's the one that needs to pay . and i 'll tell you this -- i will do anything i can to help you bring him down . [ dark music ] andré : [ chuckles ] today ... father . today . [ sighs ] justice for all . hope : could n't get a signal outside either . rafe : listen to me . listen to me ! get back in your car and keep driving until you get a signal . hope : told you , i 'm not leaving . i 'm not leaving without you . rafe : both of us dying here means no one wins , hope . hope : all right , you know what ? we need to figure out a way to get these chains off you . if we keep pulling and yanking ... rafe : no , no . hope : we could set off the explosives . how 'd you end up in this place anyway ? rafe : i do n't know . all i know for sure is that aiden just bought this place from the dimeras . you know his whole story about what happened that night , it 's all bs . hope : i know , i know . the son of a bitch has beenowed up . i know the whole story , rafe . blood test , the switch . all of it . some guy i picked , huh ? rafe : i 'm sorry . hope : so , uh , aiden bought -- bought this house -- wait a minute . do you think andré 's involved ? rafe : probably . damn it , it does n't matter . hope , just go ! get out of here now ! go ! hope : okay -- rafe : look at the time . hope : wait a second . rafe : look at the damn time . hope : i got it , i got it . this is gon na work , i know it . rafe : oh , my god , just ... hope : just stay still ! okay . paul : okay , it 's final . nothing on any u.s. airline under her name . i 'm still checking overseas carriers . john : now if she planned this carefully , and we have to assume that she did , first thing she would need is a new identity . paul : maybe even multiples . [ sighs ] honest to god , the thought of anyone taking that little baby ... i get so angry , i could rip -- john : [ shushing ] objective . paul : right . be like my dad . cold and cunning . john : i 'm not cold and cunning . i 'm ... unreadable and sly . brady : is there anything ? victor : no . maggie : brady , if summer 's responsible , i am so sorry . brady : starting to look that way maggie , and i 'm sorry about it too , but she was angry at me . she gave theresa that weird warning , then she disappeared the same time tate did -- john : all right ! we 've got something , guys . [ phone ringing ] shawn : shawn brady . theresa : [ cries ] shawn : listen , i do n't know . just check the supply cabinet . yes , i will -- i 'll be in later . belle : this wedding gown is really terrific . theresa : yeah , on paper . belle : no , i ... i think it 'll be really beautiful when it 's made . theresa : i am so stupid . you know , i ... i actually thought i could have it all . i almost did , you know . my company was up and running . going great . the cutest little boy calling me mama . i was about to marry the man that i 've loved since ... [ clears throat ] i should have known , right ? that it would never happen because i do n't deserve it . this is stupid . this is ... this is payback . when you 've done horrible things to people , really horrible things like i have , eventually ... eventually it all comes back to you . belle : listen , theresa . listen to me . nobody deserves to have this happen to them ever . okay ? your dreams can still come true . shawn : theresa , none of this is your fault . theresa : [ sobbing ] belle : besides , you 've changed . you have . theresa : yeah , victor sure does n't think so . belle : victor does n't ... shawn : look , victor 's wrong about a lot of things . way wrong . belle : especially when it comes to people . shawn : my phone -- my signal 's in and out . i 'm gon na go outside . i 'm gon na try to call my mom , see if she heard anything , all right ? belle : okay . shawn : i 'll be right back . julie : mmm . delicious as always . claire : great - grandma julie : you think you might share that with the horton side of the family ? claire : um , not if i do n't want to be disowned by the brady side . julie : i could give you grandma alice 's donut recipe . claire : oh , my god ! can you make it any more tempting ? julie : still nothing from hope ? doug : you 'd think i 'd be used to this by now . i mean , hope has been a police officer for how many years ? [ stammering ] the idea that she could be out in the field and putting her life in danger , it just never gets easier . hope : damn it . rafe : you need to go . hope : not giving up . rafe : you 're not giving up . will you -- would you be realistic ? look at the time . like i said before , we do n't even know if that thing 's accurate . it could blow at any time . just go ! go ! hope : no . rafe : i do not want to die knowing that you died trying to save me . hope : the reason you 're in this mess is because of me . i gave aiden another chance when it should have been us . rafe : just stop . stop blaming yourself . just go . go . hope . get outta here . just go ! stop it , go ! hope : no ! wait ! it 's working . shawn , listen to me . i 'm with rafe . we 're trapped in the basement of the old dimera house out by morganville . there 's a bomb . it 's set to go off in six minutes . get the bomb squad here now . shawn : yes , yes , right now ! i 'm on my way ! hope : okay . i 'm getting you out of here . tell that gal good job . now here 's the deal . ticket agent saw a woman matching summer 's description . bought a ticket using cash under the name cindi callahan . brady : that was alias she used in la . john : that 's a fact . it 's a puddle - jumper airline . ultimate destination 's las vegas , should have landed about an hour ago . maggie : did she have a baby with her ? john : she could n't recall that , maggie . paul : well , a baby would n't need a ticket . john : good point . brady : all right , i 'm outta here . i 'm on the next flight . john : hold on ! just because she landed in vegas does n't mean she 's still there . victor : vegas is a major international hub . she could be anywhere in the world by now . summer : yes , i know it sounds a little odd , but you 're a travel agent . you must run into all sorts of people who want a spontaneous vacation . you bet . and in my case , i want to leave right away . i do n't know . not -- not in the u.s. somewhere exotic . and money is not a problem . well , what do you have available in say ... the next two hours ? victor : i 'm not saying she 's necessarily in the wind , brady . i mean , maybe she thinks vegas is a great place to hide . brady : but if summer wants to take tate out of the country -- john : son , all i got ta do is make a call here . we will get summer 's picture up all over mccarran airport . now she ca n't move that fast right now , especially if she has a baby in tow . paul : she 's still in vegas . paul : what do you got ? paul : when i was a ballplayer , i made friends with a hotel manager who 's a big shot in vegas . he said he did some checking and a cindi callahan just checked into this hotel on the strip . brady : that is so great . okay , okay . we know where she is . dad -- dad , listen to me . i want to keep this quiet -- no -- no -- no cops , no fbi , no isa . i do n't want to -- i do n't want to freak her out when she has my son . that 's the way i want to do it , okay ? i will be in touch , i promise you . maggie : [ cries ] justin : there 's not a damn thing i can charge him with . i mean , i ca n't prosecute a man for thinking about committing a murder . roman : justin . he had all the equipment . now he can lie as much as he wants to , but damn it , come on ! i mean , he 's got ta be guilty of conspiracy at least . justin : so he conspired with stefano , who 's conveniently dead . and andré , who would deny it with a smile . honestly , aiden could move against us for holding him as long as we have without charging him -- roman : what the hell ? i mean , what are we gon na do ? we 're just gon na cut him loose ? justin : no , we are gon na follow him very closely , and hope that we catch him doing something roman : oh , come on , justin . god , i hate this . and the worst part , i 've got ta tell hope . hope : it 's a straight shot out route 16 . they 'll be here in three minutes , four minutes tops . rafe : right . so what 's the bomb squad gon na do , hm ? they gon na race down here so they can die with us ? not like this . rafe : please , just go . go . go before it 's hope : no . paul : summer 's rap sheet does tend to go on . victor : that bitch does n't have an honest bone in her body . i do n't know . maybe i should send some men down there . brady may need some backup . john : hold off on that . i think brady 's right . we do n't was summer to panic , especially is she is holding tate . she 'll listen to brady . maggie : if there were just something that we could do ... john : we 're gon na have our eye on summer . let 's just ... hope that brady gets to vegas before she decides to make a run with tate again . julie : so darling , have you had any news about your cousin tate ? claire : well , according to my mom , theresa thinks summer is the one who kidnapped him . julie : summer ? maggie 's daughter ? claire : yeah , apparently , she had a thing for my uncle brady and since he did n't feel the same way , she wanted to hurt him . so she ... julie : oh , poor darling . doug : yeah , so sorry , sweetheart . claire : i mean , i just really hate to think of all the things that could happen . i mean , what if summer 's neglecting him , or is being mean to him , or what if she just abandons -- doug : hey , cool it . cool it . no use speculating and making yourself sick . we know that everything possible is being done to find him , okay , right ? okay , so then , we just put all that aside and we put out all the positive energy that we can . claire : i 'll do my best . julie : darling , i think you could use some positive energy . why not call shawn - douglas ? see if he 's heard from his mother . doug : good idea . shawn - douglas , it 's your grandfather . uh , call me when you get this message , please . i 've been trying to track down your mother and i am starting to get a little worried , so please call me . belle : shawn said he was going to make a call , but seems like he disappeared . theresa : maybe he got a lead on tate . maybe he went to go check up on it . i mean , they could be close to finding him . belle : maybe , maybe . listen -- theresa : but do n't get my hopes up , right ? belle : that 's right . theresa : 'cause , really , there is no hope . belle : oh , honey , no , no , no . do n't think like that . brady : we may have a lead on summer . theresa : what ? where is she ? brady : she used one of her aliases . she flew to vegas . she check into a hotel , and she 's there right now . theresa : was tate with her ? brady : listen to me , listen to me , the only reason i came by is 'cause i wanted to tell you in person , okay ?

[ scene_break ] bo : what the hell are you saying to me , hope is n't important ? john : just hear me out , bo . i think you need a dose of reality . i sent my private jets to search those waters because you asked me to . now do i believe hope 's alive ? no , i do n't . because if -- and this is a very big if -- if she survived that missile attack on her plane and the crash in the ocean , there is no way anyone could survive those shark - infested waters . bo : hope supposedly died in front of my eyes once . john : yeah . bo : she was n't gone . i 'll never believe she 's gone . john : bo , it 's time to concentrate on who is behind this . and why hope -- when she had a gun on lockhart , she made a decision . she chose to go off with him . why ? a lot of questions we 've got to get answers for out there . why was jen kidnapped ? in a plane that also went down . and who was sending jen all these messages supposedly by jack ? we 've got a big puzzle here that we got to fill in . and until we do -- then and only then are you going to find out what happened to hope . bo : we 're obviously being toyed with here . people being treated like pawns on a chessboard . bo : do you think ... john : stefano . bo : maybe he 's not dead . john : would n't be the first time , would it ? bo : dimera -- or whoever 's behind this -- they 're not gon na get away with it . we got to get the answers . we got to get to the truth . we ca n't lose any more people that we love . .yeah .

paige : yeah , jj . why would that be any of your business ? let me tell you again . get the hell out of my life , and stay out of it . jennifer : paige .

[ stammering ] i was n't searching the place . i swear to god i was n't . it just fell out of the bag when i -- daniel : do you like it ? hope : do i like it ? do -- what is there not to like ? but i know this is none of my business . daniel : no , no , i think it 'd be nice to have a female point of view . it really would -- here . is it too big ?

eric : i ca n't talk about this . nicole : we have to . eric : not now . and certainly not in this place . do n't you see it would be pointless ? nicole : pointless ? this is the most important thing in my life right now . are you going to tell daniel or are n't you ? kyle : is there a problem here ? paige : i do n't know what he 's been telling you , but remember that loser ex- boyfriend i was telling you about before ? well , i was talking about him . so whatever he 's been telling you , do n't believe it , because everything that comes out of his mouth is a total lie . jennifer : what did they put in this thing ? hope : okay , then . hey , every light is on in the place , and there are boxes everywhere . what i do n't see are flowers , candles -- champagne . i sure hope there 's champagne -- daniel : no , no , whoa , whoa . no , i 'm not gon na ask her tonight , no . hope : oh . daniel : no , i 'm gon na wait until she has a little time to just settle in . hope : yeah , well , with all of nicole 's stuff here , that could really take months . daniel : well , i do n't know if i 'm willing to wait quite that long . hope : you know , something else you might want to think about is maybe calling a closet company , yeah . they can be expensive but they can really maximize your space . daniel : you know , this news does n't exactly thrill you , does it ? hope : i did n't say that . daniel : no , no , you just started chatting about closets . hope , you know , one of the things that i like about you is you do n't chat , so my guess is you think i 'm making a mistake . eric : you have to know i 'd never hurt you . nicole : not on purpose . but you still have n't answered my question . eric : listen , i have a lot of work i have to deal with right now . later , all right ? nicole : looks like i do n't have a choice . music throughout hope : i 'm not talking about her moving in here or you two seeing each other , it 's this . it 's the ring . it 's the commitment , daniel . it just seems a little rushed ! does n't it seem rushed ? daniel : you think i 'm going to marry her because she almost died ? no , it 's all right . it 's all right . say it -- you can say it . i came close to losing her , and i realized i am never going to take the chance on losing her again . nicole : what are you doing here ? serena : that 's your business because ? nicole : because it seems every time i turn around , there you are . serena : this is the town square , not a deserted alley . i think you 're being a little bit paranoid . you got ta remember , it 's a small town . nicole : what i remember is what you 've done and who you are . i remember months of `` butter would n't melt in your mouth , `` while you 're conspiring with that animal who tried to kill eric and me . what i remember is that you are a deceitful and yes , lethal , bitch . so i do n't think it 's paranoid to worry about bumping into you . i think it 's good sense . serena : you should watch what you say to me . nicole : and you should stay far , far away from me . serena : is that a threat ? that might be a mistake . aiden : ladies , is there a problem ? serena : everything 's fine . nicole : no , everything is far from fine . i 'm glad you 're here , aiden . in fact , you are just the man i want to see . jennifer : excuse me . you may want to check what they put in these shakes . it tastes really strange . i 'm sorry . would you like another ?

oh , and by the way , i was on your website , and you have this one picture of the crocus coming up through the snow -- jennifer : eric ! eric : oh , hi ! jennifer : hi ! oh , my goodness ! i 've missed you ! it is so good to see you ! oh , my goodness ! kyle : so you two ... you guys were , like , together ?

nothing . jj : he is bad news , paige . paige : that 's for me to decide ! i do n't need you telling me who i should see or not see , okay ? i do n't need you telling me anything . but here 's what i 'm going to tell you . you need to get it through your thick head that i see who i want and i do what i want , and what i want now , more than anything , is for you to get out of my life . daniel : so maybe it 's a little rushed , but we have been through so much , i think we deserve to be happy . hope : you do . you deserve to be happy , absolutely . i 'm looking at you right now , and i can honestly see you really are happy . i 'm happy for you . and i will look forward to dancing at your wedding . daniel : thank you . hope : if nicole messes this up , she 's a complete idiot . nicole : aiden , this is serena , the woman who used eric as a mule , pretending to be in love with him while working with that guy xander . you know , the one who tried to slow - cook me and eric . serena , this is aiden , my lawyer . probably the best lawyer in salem , if not the state . now i know i need to meet with you on this , but the criminal case against xander has been stalled , and i was thinking of bringing some kind of civil suit . you see , the legal standards are different . it 's a lot easier to get justice with a civil suit . just ask oj . in fact , i think that 's going to be my next step . if you and xander do n't end up behind bars where you belong , what could be a better second choice than to bleed you both dry of that filthy money you got from those blood diamonds ? jennifer : well , i know that you 're okay physically , but it could n't have been easy for you to get over that emotionally . eric : i do have a new phobia . steer clear of crawl spaces . jennifer : how masculine of you to make a joke like it did n't mean anything . eve : um , i need to make a phone call . jennifer , it 's nice seeing you . jennifer : it 's been a pleasure . no , but i 'm serious . really , are you okay ? eric : yeah , i mean -- well , it 's weird . i was so focused on nicole and , you know , we almost lost her . but now that she 's okay , it makes it easier to move forward . but it means a lot that you care . but honestly , i 'm all good . no worries . jennifer : good , so you 're ready to go back to work , 'cause i have a project for you . eric : great ! just tell me when , where , what . jennifer : i will , but i ca n't tell you right now , because i have to run , but i can not tell you how glad i am to see you ! eric : thank you . jennifer : oh , did i tell you that we want to do a photo essay of all the crawl spaces at university hospital ? pronto . yours -- it 's all yours . eric : they all think you are so nice , but you 're not so nice , and i 'm gon na tell them all . eve : i could n't reach my friend . eric : oh , right , i 'm sorry . eve : but i was still wondering if you 've sold that photo or not . eric : not yet . eve : okay , well , i thought about this : why do n't you go home and pick up the picture , and then meet me at the pub ? i have n't had dinner yet , and i hate to eat alone -- eric : oh , me , too . but honestly , i have this very , very important phone call that i have to take at home , because all my pictures are there . eve : oh , oh , yeah , okay . you know , some other time . eric : you know , you know what , let me finish . why do n't you come back to my place ? listen , i can look for the picture and maybe i can rustle up something for dinner . i mean , if you 're willing . eve : willing ? yes . yes , i would love to , yes ! let me ask you something , though . are you as good a cook as you are a photographer ? eric : well , let me put it this way : in terms of dinner ... eve : uh - huh . eric : do n't get your hopes up . eve : okay . jj : paige , believe me . i get that it 's over . i want to stay away from you . paige : then do it ! jj : okay , but then get a brain , paige ! for someone supposed to be so smart , you are so stupid . paige : [ breathing loudly ] jj : i 'm just saying one thing , and i want you to hear me . you do n't have to say anything . just take this in . kyle is bad news . this is n't about me trying to get back into your life . you have made your feelings totally clear . i ca n't make it happen , and i know that it will never happen . but be mad at me . try to ruin my life , not yours . i ca n't just walk away when i see you making a huge mistake , one that might really hurt you . paige : you 're right . you 're so right . you ca n't get back into my life . say hi to my mom for me . eve : well , i do n't guess anyone would call you a neat freak . eric : listen , i know i may not be organized , but i can definitely put a finger on anything important in a matter of days . eve : okay . well , i 'll tell you this much . you 're certainly talented , eric . eric : well , i do n't know about that , but i 'm definitely prolific . eve : i tell you what . you get all this organized and i 'll check out what 's in your refrigerator , because , you know , we all have our talents , and mine is heating up leftovers . [ clicks tongue ] eric : [ clicks tongue ] hope : okay , great . thank you so much . i think that 's it for now . daniel : anything to help . you think you 're any closer to making a case against xander ? hope : we 'll see . daniel : ca n't believe i 'm connected to that animal , or that victor is . hope : victor being so good and pure and all of that ? sorry , withdrawn . we 've been playing so nice lately . daniel : [ laughs ] hope : hey , do n't forget . put the ring away ... daniel : ah ! hope : before nicole gets here . daniel : yes , yes , yes , yes . i think i am going to claim this drawer as mine , 'cause i 'm pretty sure nicole 's gon na take the rest of the apartment . hope : well , i hate to tell you this , but these might only be the first wave . daniel : yeah , i fear you 're right . [ laughs ] hope : oh , gosh , i got ta go . i have a date with aiden tonight . daniel : he is a lucky man . hope : actually , you know what ? i think i 'm the lucky one . oh , you might want to think about renting a storage unit . daniel : yeah . hope : it 's a lot of stuff . daniel : [ chuckles ] hope : good luck . daniel : thank you . [ exhales ] aiden : would you excuse us for a moment ? serena : sure . aiden : okay . all right , look . i have to go , but listen to me . if you 're gon na have a prayer of winning this case ? you have to know when to ... keep the mouth closed , understand ? nicole : i understand . i do n't like it , but i understand . aiden : good . all right . serena : just so you know , your threats do n't scare me , and as you well know , i had nothing to do with what happened to you and eric . nicole : as i well know ? that is bull . you brought eric into your mess with that animal . look , if you bring a sociopath and a semiautomatic to a party , and he uses it to kill someone , you ca n't say you had nothing to do with it . serena : your analogies are lamer than your reporting . do your worst . go ahead and file your stupid lawsuit . nicole : you think that 's my worst ? the lawsuit is the least of your problems . i have a bigger , faster , more effective way to blow your life to hell . want to hear ? woman : how are you doing in there baby girl ? hope : aiden , i 'm so sorry . i did n't -- aiden : detective brady ! what a surprise , and you look beautiful , as you always do . hope : this is beautiful . aiden : just like you . bit of the bubbly ? hope : not quite yet . something i need to do first . aiden : what 's that ? hope : this . serena : i am not interested in anything you have to say . nicole : really ? 'cause my boss sure was . he ca n't wait . everybody loves stories about lying , hypocritical skanks . serena : so you 're writing your autobiography . nicole : clever . you 're insinuating that i 'm a bad girl , too . well , that 's true . i 've lied . and i 've married men i do n't love for money , and i 've done some pretty terrible things . but i have never hooked up with some rough trade -- that would be xander -- and helped him smuggle blood diamonds . you know whose blood that refers to ? children 's blood . you and xander deal with warlords who make children kill . that is where that money comes from . and there are n't enough degrees of separation to wash that blood off your hands , and my boss seems to think that 's a great story . serena : you ca n't prove that . nicole : no . but there are a lot of nice , decent people who would like to try and help me . even if i ca n't prove it in court , i can prove it in a court of public opinion . i can prove you 're a medical journalist just like paris hilton is an actress . journalists do not use an innocent man to smuggle blood diamonds into the country , and then sleep with him to try and get them back . that job has a different title . serena : write whatever you want , because everyone knows it 's just tabloid garbage . nicole : as little as i think of you , i know you have an achilles ' heel . you actually care what eric thinks about you , and i 'm gon na make him learn the truth about you , and he will finally see what a disgusting person you are , and he will never , ever forgive you . eric : this is delicious . eve : [ giggles ] eric : i -- how did you do it ? eve : hot sauce . eric : i - i had hot sauce ? eve : yeah , you did . it was up in the cabinet , like , way in the top . but i also made some coffee . would you like some ? eric : great , and i can look for that old picture . eve : oh , well , good luck with that . oh , wow . this is lovely . i mean , this is a beautiful girl , but this -- eric : thanks . eve : you know , you can almost feel how much you feel for her in this , you know . you can see it . eric : yeah , it 's an old picture . eve : i guess i , uh ... touched on a sore subject . what happened ? eric : she betrayed me . eve : really ? eric : yeah . i thought she loved me . it turns out she was just using me . just an old boring story . eve : i 'm sorry . eric : oh , please , do n't be . i finally smartened up . almost dying will really do that for you . what are you looking for ? eve : checking to see if you have any sweetener . eric : i do n't have any . eve : you know what ? i do , actually . eric : what ? eve : in my purse . so , you and nicole , what that guy did to you , and that girl , serena , right ? eric : serena , right . eve : well , was she a part of it ? eric : in a way . eve : so , `` betrayal `` was n't too harsh a word , then . eric : you know , with serena , she 's gon na be brought to justice . but she committed plenty of crimes that were far worse than just breaking my heart . people delude themselves into thinking they can get away with the horrible things that they do . but ultimately , if you commit a crime , there are consequences . jennifer : oh ! hi , honey . jj : hey , nothing . jennifer : hey ! hey , hey , hey . what 's wrong ? do n't do this . come back down here . you are upset . and i 'm going to worry if you do n't tell me what happened . jj : it 's stupid . i ran into paige . she 's hanging out with some really bad people and she just wo n't listen to me . and she could end up getting really hurt . jennifer : all right , and i 'm really sorry to have to tell you this , but there 's nothing you can do about it , honey . you have to let her go . kyle : [ chuckles ] so ... what was all that about ? paige : jj 's just a jerk and a loser and i 'm just sick of it . kyle : i mean , what 's he like ? how come ? paige : he 's like the biggest liar ever . you ca n't trust him no matter what he says . but you know what ? i do n't want to talk about him . i want to talk about us . [ glasses chime ] aiden : [ chuckles ] you know , when we met , i would n't have given you 12 to 1 that we 'd even be talking in a year . hope : hmm , i certainly loathed you , did n't i ? aiden : you know , i think i picked upon that . it 's when you said , `` i loathe you . `` hope : i did not say -- i did not say that ... in so many words . aiden : well , you did n't have to . hope : well , you certainly did n't cover how you felt about me . you were so arrogant and uptight . aiden : whoa , wait a minute . i was arrogant ? hope : you certainly were , yes . aiden : i think you were -- hope : i was what , mr. jennings ? aiden : damn beautiful . yeah . hope : yeah , that was a really , really great save . that was really good . you were kinda cute yourself . aiden : mm . hope : wow , huh ? what a journey . wait a minute . how long ago was that ? do you know , hmm ? how long ago was it ? aiden : i do . hope : yeah ? aiden : do you know what day it is today ? hope : hmm , no . what day is it ? aiden : no ? hope : no . what day is it ? aiden : let me remind you . [ waltz music plays ] hope : do you hear that ? aiden : hmm . hope : did you do that ? aiden : what ? hope : my gosh , how did you do that ? aiden : wait , wait , wait a minute . hope : how ? aiden : no , do n't -- stop , no . hope : what ? aiden : do not be a cop . hope : okay . aiden : okay ? it is romantic . just listen . do you remember ? hope : right . it is romantic . aiden : does it give you a hint ? hope : i do remember . aiden : it is our anniversary . it was a year ago today when we first danced together . hope : and we did n't fight . i 'm going to say something i probably really should n't say -- aiden : oh , boy . hope : i , um ... i liked fighting with you . aiden : you did ? hope : yeah , i loved how you could keep up with me . aiden : well , you know what i loved ? hope : what ? aiden : how you did n't play the girl card , yeah . hope : i 'm so glad we did n't get stuck there . i guess i liked the dancing more than the fighting . aiden : me , too . just took me longer to get there , that 's all . hope : me , too . aiden : yeah . hope : both of us . as they say , we had a lot of baggage . aiden : hmm . hope : this is beautiful , and i love that you remembered . aiden : are you kidding me ? how could i not remember ? i mean , all of a sudden , i was n't bitter or angry , alone . i was happy . dancing with the most amazingly beautiful woman , who actually made me look forward to the next day . how could i not remember falling in love ? so ... may i have this dance ? hope : and the next one . and the one after that , and after that . nicole : daniel , no , i told you i 'd do that . you should n't do all the work . daniel : no , no , no . wait till you see the bedroom . trust me , there 's enough work for both of us . nicole : [ laughs ] well , maybe you were right to clear the living room . make room for the next load . daniel : next load ? nicole : oh , do n't be so cranky . come on , now that i 'm back , things will move twice as fast . why do n't you get this big box over here and i 'll just move this , right in here ? oh , that 's gon na be -- do n't ... nicole : ooh ! daniel : touch that drawer . eve : you know , if you do n't find the one with the crocus , i love this one . i 'll take this one . eric : thank you . it 's one of my best sellers . eve : well , i 'm sure it is . it 's the header to your website , too , is n't it ? gosh , you know , it 's really , really perfect because it captures just how unique your work is . eric : well , that was jennifer 's idea . she 's got a great eye . i mean , it really helps me do what i 'm doing . eve : [ scoffs ] is there nothing that that woman ca n't do ? what , is she gon na win a nobel peace prize next ? eric : eve ... i like you . and you are always welcome in my home , but you understand that jennifer is my friend . an old , trusted friend . i understand the two of you have issues , and i 'm not taking any side , but please , i just ca n't have you talking about her like that in my home . eve : wow , i -- i feel like i 'm five now . eric : i did n't mean to do that . listen , we can just change the subject or something . eve : no , no , no . you know what ? i like that you said that to me . it was , um -- it was very direct , not angry , but not the least bit ambiguous . look , there 's something that you probably do n't know , but ... feelings are weird . eric : no . eve : there 's a part of me -- i mean , a very detached part of me who knows that the way i feel about jennifer is really screwed up and has been for a really long time . but it does n't help that everybody in this town -- i mean , absolutely everybody -- thinks that she walks on water , and that everything is just my fault , has to be . all my fault . well , it 's not my fault . it 's not all my fault , anyway . i 'll never forgive or forget what her son did to my daughter , what he put her through . you know , jennifer 's not blameless , either , here . okay , you know , here i go . i start , and -- i start and i just ca n't stop . but i got ta stop . got ta stop , 'cause it just takes me to a bad place , and i ca n't go there , because my daughter needs me . eric : you know , i think telling me what you just told me was really brave . eve : that 's not brave . talking . changing how you think and what you do , that 's brave . eric , you really helped me tonight , so thank you . eric : i ca n't imagine how . eve : you made me realize that i need to think a little less about myself ... and more about my daughter . kyle : i 'd love to talk about us , but how about we find someplace a little more private ? paige : sounds nice , but i 've got ta get back to my dorm , but maybe we can hang out sometime ? kyle : sure . what about jj ? paige : are you worried about him ? kyle : me ? no . of course not . paige : then i 'll give you a call . jj : i get that it 's over , and that she wo n't listen to me . i 'm scared . i do n't think she understands what kind of people she 's dealing with . jennifer : and i 'm sorry that there 's nothing you can say that 's going to change anything , honey . you have to accept that . jj : you 're right . there is nothing i can say , but maybe there 's something i can do . [ waltz music plays ] hope : oh , wow . aiden : hmm ? hope : i ca n't believe that it was a year ago tonight , i finally admitted to myself that i was falling for you . aiden : do you know i could n't imagine my life without you ? hope : you never have to worry about that . [ cell phone rings ] kyle : did n't expect to hear from you again , after that scene with your girlfriend . jj : no , she 's not my girlfriend . kyle : then what was all that warning me about staying away from her ? jj : well , you can forget about that . after you left , we talked , and it came crashing back what a pain in the ass she is . so if you want her , you can have her . kyle : is that why you called me , to give me permission ? jj : no . to talk about that other thing . kyle : you mean business . jj : yeah , well , i 've been doing some thinking . maybe i can help you . maybe it might be exactly what i need . eric : i 'm sorry i never found that picture . eve : it 's all right , eric . just , you know , let me know when you do , okay ? eric : you know , if you want to talk more , i can put on another pot of coffee . eve : oh , you know ... i really should go home and think things through . it 's not my strong suit , but you 've helped me realize that it 's easier to be mad at jj and jennifer rather than face what i 've done . eric : well , everyone makes mistakes . eve : yeah . everybody has secrets . no matter how much you try to keep them , they always have a way of coming out .
