[ scene_break ] tony : it 's an unfortunate point of law -- is n't it ? -- evidence . you 're absolutely hamstrung without it . and seeing that you have no evidence to support your trumped - up accusations , i 'll be on my way . bo : yes , to a dark , dank , rather depressing cell ... andré . tony : do n't call me that . bo : i do n't know where you 're getting your information , but it 's obviously wrong ... andré . we have plenty of evidence . it 's coming in as we speak . it 's rock solid ... andré . so the next move is yours . we can do this the easy way or -- tony : `` easy `` is a relative term ... detective . easy for me may not be here . oh . oh . bo : come on , man . you do n't want to die tonight . tony : no . not yet . bo : i think it 's time for us to cooperate . tony : to what end , detective ? there 'll be no mercy waiting . bo : accommodations can be made . tony : ah . you want something that i have . bo : i 'd like to know where we can find tony . tony : total immunity -- that 's what i want . nothing less . bo : that ai n't gon na happen . andre : then you 'll have to say goodbye to your poor friend tony because he 's gon na rot on that sad , little island -- alone -- for another 20 years .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : how does jett 's situation have anything to do with nick ? and why are you changing the subject ? stephanie : look , i know i keep bringing it up , and i 'm not trying to make you feel lousy , either , okay ? i 'm just worried about you . i think you 're wasting your time with nick . chelsea : stephanie -- stephanie : he does n't set you on fire , chelsea , and you know that 's the truth , so stop wasting his time , too . chelsea : we just -- we have this connection . stephanie : a friend connection -- even best friends . look , nick is a nice guy . but as far as the `` down where it hurts you not have his hands all over you `` kind of connection -- it 's not happening , chelse . chelsea : well , that 's what you said that you have with jeremy , right ? but you guys fight all the time . stephanie : and i hate his guts 12 times a day , but i hate it even more every second i 'm not with him . and the makeup sex -- off the chart . chelsea : that 's just sex . stephanie : are you kidding ? `` just `` ? okay , maybe for you with nick . it 's what was n't there between you two that makes the difference , and that 's passion -- `` heart pounding with bombs going off in your head so intense you might pass out `` passion . and once you 've had that , there 's no going back to just sex , okay ? that 's what you need to find for yourself , chelsea -- passion -- and soon , before it 's too late .

[ scene_break ] sami : i do n't have anything to say to you . e.j . : it 's not gon na be long now before we 're sharing responsibility for two young lives . what 's gon na happen then , eh ? sami : i have some ideas . you ? e.j . : i do n't particularly wish to get lawyers involved . sami : are you threatening me ? e.j . : i 'm offering you a choice -- you either respect my position as the father of these children , or i guarantee you you 're gon na face some difficult consequences . [ scene_break ] bo : so , tony 's marooned on some island ? andre : uncharted . very remote . there is a map , however . no doubt you 'd like to know where it 's kept . bo : okay . you spelled out your bargaining chip -- fine . come on down . let 's negotiate . come on , man . we both know you 're not gon na jump . andre : do we ? to be frank , even death is more preferable than being double- crossed . trusting the word of a brady . bo : i swear to you . help us get tony back , and then once he 's here -- andre : just stay where you are . bo : andre ! andre ! andre : help me . help me , for god 's sake ! help me . [ scene_break ] chelsea : so , grab some passion before it 's too late ? so you 're worried that i may qualify for a walker before i ever experience mind - blowing sex ? stephanie : turn around and all your chances are gone . chelsea : well ... if passion is what you and jeremy have , then pass me my dentures . stephanie : look what you 've done to yourself , chelsea . you 're with a guy who wants you but you do n't want , and the guy you do want -- you 've got him yelling at you instead of the married witch that has him all wrapped . where are you going ? chelsea : i 'm gon na go find jett . is that okay ? stephanie : mission accomplished . [ sighs contentedly ] [ scene_break ] jeremy : hey , baby . if you 're smiling now -- stephanie : i 'm not talking to you . jeremy : good . i did n't come here to talk . stephanie : and i 'm not doing that , either . jeremy : come on . it was just business . stephanie : i 'm so tired of the `` just business . `` jer , i need some fun . jeremy : that 's me , kid . i 'm king of fun . stephanie : yeah ? prove it .

[ scene_break ] sami : wow . i 'm so relieved to hear that you 're not threatening me , e.j . now , if you 'll remind me , what is the difference between difficult consequences and threats ? e.j . : civility ... my dear . keeping things as pleasant as possible between the two of us is a priority . sami : what does that mean exactly ? e.j . : it means that as soon as all of this is over and everybody 's safe , i think we should sit down with a family - court judge and come to an agreement . sami : for custody ? e.j . : lucas can be involved , too . i 'm fairly sure that the judge will order the children to be placed in your care , which is how it should be , i suppose . sami : lucas is gon na be a father to those twins . e.j . : the twins are gon na have two fathers , okay ? i 'd like to see them alternate weekends , occasional holidays . i hope you 're not gon na try and fight me on this , samantha , because i am going to be a part of those children 's lives . sami : i thought you 'd want a war . e.j . : no . what i want most is for us to be friends . sami : [ scoffs ] you said you wanted to be honest . e.j . : all right . fine . you 're right . you 're right . but it looks like this is the best i can get , so i 'm just gon na have to make peace with that and your marriage . sami : can you do that ? e.j . : yeah . i think i can , as long as my rights as a father are honored , okay ? i do n't see why there has to be trouble between the two of us . we need to sort out the custody , what 's best for the children , and then i will leave you and lucas alone . [ scene_break ] andre : come on . help me . for god 's sake , just help me . bo : you afraid you might not bounce back from the dead again ? andre : listen , you can smirk all you like , just help me . bo : well , start talking . tell me where the map is . you know what , andré ? in situations like this , terrible things can happen . andre : you ca n't . you 're a cop . bo : i 'm also a brady , and you know how we are . i 'll tell people you jumped , and everybody will believe me . andre : all right . all right . i 'm begging you , just bring me up . i 'm begging you . that 's what you want to hear , is n't it ? that 's what you want to hear -- a dimera beg ! bo : not really . i 'd rather hear where the map is , and hurry up . i 'm getting a bit tired here . andre : all right . just pull me up , and i promise i 'll tell you . bo : okay . come on . grab my arm . andre : [ grunting ] ow . bo : that 's all the further you 're going . now tell me where the map is . andre : all right . it 's bart 's back . bart : tony ! bo : tell me where the map is . bart : tony ! tony ! hang on ! hang on ! hang on ! tony ! bo : andre ! bye ! bye ! thank you . good night . good night , you two .

[ chuckles softly ] andré : why come to me ? why not go to your dearly beloved with this revelation ? abigail : i ca n't . andré : oh . is it because you want to use the information that you collect on him for a divorce court ? abigail : no , no . i 'm not gon na divorce dario . but i do want to know what he 's been up to before he gets a chance to convince me that there 's nothing to worry about . andré : maybe you 're afraid you 're gon na believe him . abigail : actually , i 'm afraid that he 's gon na believe himself . he 's gon na find himself deeper in a hole that he 's already in . andré : you realize , as his wife , that you and thomas could end up in the hole with him ? abigail : i 'm not gon na let that happen . and neither will dario . andré : are you sure about that ? abigail : i have a pretty good feeling that the reason that he 's doing this is because he feels like he needs to provide me with an extravagant lifestyle much like what i had -- andré : like my brother ? abigail : yeah . but i told him that is not why i loved chad . i do n't care about the money . but i do want his business to be legit . andré : do you think that 's possible given the history of his father 's penchant for shady deals ? abigail : i think that if i tell dario exactly what i need him to stop doing that he would stop . andré : i hope you are n't being naive about all of this . abigail : after this past year , that 's the last thing that i will ever be again . but like i said , it is in dimera 's best interest to stop dario 's illegal activities . andré : so , what do you need from me ? abigail : well , for starters , i need your resources . in order for me to see how deeply dario is into this counterfeiting business , i 've got to be able to break into his work computer . andré : what you 're saying is that you need an expert computer hacker . and why would i know anybody like that ? because i do . i know the perfect man for the job . andré : well , dimera 's latest it genius is going to be here any minute . abigail : and you trust him to be discreet ? andré : absolutely . abigail : well , in case i have n't already said it , thank you . andré : you do n't have to thank me . although i do wish you 'd think about some alternatives once you 've got the information you 're seeking . abigail : alternatives to what ? andré : your marriage . given dario 's business dealings in the past , i think it 'd be safer if you and your son would send him to prison . abigail : dario has been a very , very good friend to me . andré : that 's really a strange way to describe your husband . abigail : friend . husband . can he not be both ? andré : i do n't believe for a minute that you love this man . abigail : i guess i do n't really care what you believe . whatever i find out , i 'm gon na stand by him .

[ chuckles ] stefano : have you lost your mind , elvis ? ej : what do you want me to do , huh ? let marco shoot them ? stefano : you know , i just do n't know what 's going on with you . what are you trying to do , huh ? atone for your past sins , for goodness sake ? is that it , huh ? you think that she 's gon na come back to you no matter what happens ? i mean , if you do something honorable in your life . what is this ? taylor : i do n't think ej knew that that man was going to hurt mom . nicole : you are unbelievable . taylor : what ? nicole : you 're buying it . you 're buying the whole `` i did n't kill myself so i 'm not responsible `` act from ej . taylor : okay , i did not say that . nicole : then what did you say , please ? taylor : look , what i 'm having an issue with , what i 'm reacting to right now , nic , is that the man who did kill mom is n't going to go to prison . i 'm not saying ej is blameless . i 'm not saying it 's okay what he did . nicole : okay , fine . but that man pretended to be rafe and did god only knows what to sami all that time , on ej 's orders . so ej does n't have to pay for that ? brady : not to mention ej let his kids be in that apartment with that creep the whole time . nicole : ej betrayed me . he betrayed you . and he put i do n't know how many lives at stake before mom got in the way and lost hers . so ej does n't deserve to be punished because he did n't have his hand on mom 's back on the top of the stairs when she was pushed down ? taylor : i am not saying that . okay , i just do n't think it 's right that that imposter gets to go free . nicole : no . you 're having second thoughts about giving up the love of your life . listen to me . that imposter will probably cut a deal with the cops . and if he does , then ej and stefano go to jail for good . and that 's suddenly making you feel some kind of forgetful . brady : ladies ... not that anybody asked me , but all this bickering and sniping you 're doing is n't gon na make any difference . rafe : sami , come on . come on . really , sophia was undercover , that 's why i did n't tell you about it . and when she was n't undercover anymore , i told you . and ... uh , listen , i know that her personality is a little bit outgoing . sami : [ scoffs ] you think ? rafe : well , that 's just the way she is . what ? sami : i would 've described her more as being obnoxiously flirtatious , but that 's just because she was flirting with my husband right in front of me . rafe : she was n't flirting with me , she 's just ... she was happy to see me , sami . i mean , she was the same way with dario . sami : yeah , yeah . right . mucho gusto , rafa . rafe : sami . sami : rafa . rafe : sa -- would you -- okay , listen . we were co - workers and we were friends . that 's it . sami : okay . okay , so at what point in the friendship did she think it was appropriate to talk to you about what kind of husband and father you would make ? rafe : i do n't even remember that conversation . sami : she sure does . rafe : well , obviously it meant more to her than it does to me . sami : okay , well then why did you act like you remembered it ? rafe : because . what was i supposed to say ? huh ? `` sophia , i do n't remember that , `` or `` you 're making that up . `` come on . sami . sami : well , i mean , i think she also remembered your reaction , right ? does n't she remember that you laughed when she said that ? rafe : okay , whatever ... my reaction was , whatever i said to her or did n't say , i do n't know . it was a long time ago , all right ? sami : rafe , she obviously had a major thing for you . rafe : okay , maybe she did . maybe she did n't . i do n't know . it does n't matter . but like i said before , we were friends and that 's it . all right ? you do n't believe me . sami : no , i do . rafe : no , you do n't . look at you , look at -- the look on your face , i can tell you do n't believe me . sami , come on . it was a long time ago . nothing happened . and even -- it did n't , but even if it did , would it matter ? i mean , i did n't even know you then . but i 'm telling you we were just friends , that 's it . sami : okay . okay , you were just friends . look , i get it , okay . i see why she 's interested in you . look at you , you 're b -- you 're you . and obviously , i do n't blame her . i mean , i just ca n't help but be suspicious that she 's gon na try to steal you from me because that 's what i would do if i were her . rafe : oh , my god . look at you . you ... are the cutest thing in the whole world , you know that ? i love you so much . i love you more than anything , and everything . and nothing is ever gon na change that . i promise . okay ? hmm ? all right ? abe : now i give a statement to the press . lexie : are you sure you 're ready for the inevitable conflict of interest questions ? abe : i 'm an old hand at it by now . lexie : [ sighs ] good luck . ah . mr. district attorney . d.a . woods : interesting day for you , is n't it ? lexie : i am not gon na get into that with you . d.a . woods : this is not gon na go away after the rest are made , you know ? lexie : sorry ? d.a . woods : the fact that your husband is putting his brother - in - law and father - in - law in prison could prove tricky come next election day . lexie : [ scoffs , sigh ] you wan na know what i 'm thinking ? d.a . woods : sure , why not ? lexie : i 'm thinking ... that the boy you raised is about to lose his father and his brother . chad 's already lost his mother . so maybe just once you could show him a little decency and be there for him . d.a . woods : go to hell . stefano : you 're working on your legal defense . ej : hmm ? yeah , no , sorry . i might finally put that law degree to some good use . stefano : you have a plan . all right . you know , if those two cops out there had anything on us , we would not be standing here . and our former employee has not confessed , and perhaps ... he never will . nicole : taylor , what are you gon na do ? taylor : whatever i can . look , i am going to go down to the station and i am going to protest their decision to set our mother 's killer free . nicole : wait , wait , wait , if you do that , if you try to stop what the cops are doing , then ej and stefano will get away with murder . taylor : devil 's bargain . right ? nicole : taylor , do n't . stop , do n't you ! taylor : no , no , no , no , no . brady : let her go . let her go . my doctor told me calcium brady : sorry . nicole : she came to me . this morning , after she found out the truth about ej . and she said she hated him . [ chuckles ] brady : sit . well , nic , you know about that thin line between love and hate . nicole : yes . brady , i do . brady : mm . nicole : but she wanted him to pay . she even blamed him for our mother 's death . but now she 's all fired up about the double being in jail , knowing full well that if he stays in there then ej and stefano will be free again . brady : listen , taylor ca n't change what 's already been set in motion , nicole . ej ca n't change it , i ca n't , you ca n't ... what 's done is done . go ahead , let your sister raise holy hell , it 's not gon na make one damn bit of difference . rafe : well , sami , there are reams of paperwork going back and forth between the d.a . 's office , and the public defender 's office , and bo 's desk . and trust me , it takes time . and i 'm sure when it 's all done , one of them 's gon na call . sami : so that 's arnold whatever ? that 's his wrap sheet ? rafe : yeah , yeah . sami : can i look at it ? rafe : you sure ? sami : [ sighs ] rafe : that okay ? sami : yeah . it 's just ... it 's just i ca n't believe he ... [ clears throat ] i ca n't believe what he did to me and to you . and i ca n't believe that ej was behind it . [ laughs ] rafe : yeah . sami : hey , so ... i 'm sorry about the whole sophia thing . i mean , i 'm not that sorry . but you have to know that i would rather think about us , and i 'd rather fight with you than think about this crap . rafa . rafe : [ chuckles ] all right . hey ... i get it . sami : god ! i just -- i want ej and stefano to go to prison , i do . i just do n't want that guy to get away with it , you know ? i mean , it just kind of -- it 's upsetting to think about . rafe : he 's not gon na get away with it . and he 's never gon na come near you , or the kids , or me , or anyone else for that matter , ever again . all right ? public attorney : well . hope : well ? public attorney : i got it . hope : he took the deal ? bo : he signed it ? let me look at that . oh , yeah ! yeah , yeah , yeah . hope : thank god . bo : lopez , get a stenographer down to arnold 's cell right now . yeah . all right ! public attorney : [ chuckles ] bo : we did it . whew ! stefano : [ quiet whisper ] deputy 2 : showtime . stefano : ho , ho ? deputy 1 : you 're under arrest . arnold : bank craze gone wrong ? bank robber 1 : shut the hell up . arnold : figures . bunch of losers . bank robber 3 : what 'd you say ? arnold : what ? nothing , man .

[ scene_break ] john : so junior is n't junior after all . oh , i ca n't believe it . lucas : yeah , all that time he was insisting that he could never kill his own father , he was right because stefano was n't his father . john : well , that 's assuming that ej knew about that letter . lucas : he had to have known . come on , he had to have known . we all knew he was guilty . we just did n't know what pushed him over the edge . but now we do . stefano was gon na disinherit him . he had no choice . he had to do it before somebody else found out . marlena : someone knew . will did . he had the letter . so he did know . and he never told anybody . john : but why ? why would he keep it a secret ? lucas : because will was protecting that son of a -- [ clears throat ] sorry . marlena : what if it turns out that it was n't ej he was protecting ? john : what are you thinking ? marlena : well , i do n't wan na say it , but what if will had something to do with whatever ej had done ? [ scene_break ] ian : where is this coming from ? kate : you said you did n't want to have secrets from each other , right ? ian : yes , i did . kate : well , neither do i . and you still have n't answered my question . ian : hmm . you want to know why i 'm keeping tabs on dimera enterprises ? the simple pleasure of taking care of you . kate : i think i have to be very clear about something to avoid confusion . ian : all right . kate : you easily manipulated madison with your abundant charms , and once upon a time , you did the same to me . but times have changed . ian : you do n't trust me . you have n't from the start . i understand that . kate : do you ? ian : yes . it 's because of the way stefano treated you . he tested your loyalty , even after you swore your love and devotion to him . kate : unfortunately , yes , that is true . loving stefano made me vulnerable . and that 's a lesson learned . ian : that 's why i 'm gon na take care of you . so you wo n't be at the mercy of that man ever again . kate : how are you going to do that ? angle for a share of the dimera fortune using my name ? ian : well , do n't you think you 're entitled to that ? kate : okay . but what then ? because i 'm grateful , i 'm going to share the windfall with you ? ian : there are benefits to that situation . i can see that . kate : you make it happen and we 'll talk .

abigail : [ sighs ] ben : yeah , hey , do n't do this to yourself . it happened , it 's over now . right ? abigail : right . yes , ben , i swear to you , it was over with ej before i ever even met you , and i do n't even know why it happened . i - i -- when i think about it , i do n't even recognize myself because i was -- ben : abigail , i do n't need to know the details . please . abigail : right . okay . i - i just ... ben , i 'm sorry that i was n't honest with you . my god , i took you to their wedding . ben : no wonder you were so stressed out when i got there . ej was flirting with you and sami was acting like she was your new best friend . abigail : yeah , well , that 's all over now . sami hates me . which is -- i get it , i get it . i 'm just ... i 'm afraid that sami 's not gon na stop until she has ruined my life . sami : you ca n't just move in here . kate : well , actually , i can . sami : who says ? kate : oh , well , you see , the house is owned by dimera enterprises , and you and i share title of c.e.o . to dimera enterprises , so you and i share the house . although i have to say , it was so unfortunate i could only get two trunkfuls of my things delivered tonight . sami : aw , just the pointy hats and brooms ? kate : ugh ! you see , that 's that droll wit that i am just going to love living with . [ chuckles ] but i have to say , i did go ahead and take the master bedroom , you know , because when stefano and i were married , i just loved watching the sunset from that bedroom , so beautiful . sami : [ laughs ] yeah , that 's what you and stefano were doing up there , watching the sunset . kate : would you lighten up ? come on , we 're not gon na spend that much time with each other . there 's more than enough room in this big , old house for both of us , now that we 've kicked ej and stefano to the curb . sami : [ chuckles ] okay , this has been a long , really , really , really long day , and i am just not in the mood to tangle with you . [ grunts ] kate : okay . well , the way i see it , you have two options . you can retire to the library , the billiards room , or any one of the 100 rooms in this house , drink your martinis , pass out , or you can stay here with me and get down to the business of making sure that everyone who has wronged us pays ... and pays and pays and pays . it 's up to you . rafe : so you 're telling me that stefano and ej handed over the running of the company to sami and kate ? abe : i really do n't know how it went down . i assume that the charges against ej did n't play too well with the board , not to mention the outstanding warrant against his father . rafe : so this change in leadership must have come at that big board meeting , right ? abe : the dimeras are finally going down . that 's all that matters to me . rafe : yeah . well , wait , if sami is running the company , then that subpoena should go to her . abe : right . rafe : okay . cancel the process server . i 'm gon na deliver it myself . adrienne : have n't abigail , jennifer , and jj been through enough since they lost jack ? lucas : yeah , they have , adrienne . adrienne : i 'm gon na call jenn . lucas : well , good luck . she 's not answering her phone . adrienne : well , i do n't care . i 'm gon na leave a message . sonny : mom . adrienne : what ? what ? ej walked all over sami and abigail . they have to know that we 're on their side . ej : william , i 'm sorry , i do not want to talk about abigail . will : then i 'll do the talking . abigail is my cousin , and i have known since last winter that something 's been up with her . she finally told me that it was a guy , she would n't say who , of course , but it never entered my mind that this guy could be you . i was so sure that you loved my mom . ej : i love your mother ! william , i will always love your mother ! look , i - i - i 'm fallible , and i made a mistake , and i 'm sorry , and it 's ruined two people 's lives ! will : your own brother had just broken abigail 's heart . chad still loved her when he left salem and you knew that . you knew all of it , and you still went to bed with her . what is wrong with you ? jordan : [ grunts ] [ winces ] clyde : after all this time , i did n't think we 'd start out like this . jordan : you are not my father . clyde : from the moment i married your mama , i thought of you as my own , and after we lost her , i was all you had . that lowlife whose name is on your birth certificate never wanted anything to do with you . jordan : do n't talk about my father like that ! clyde : you still got him on a pedestal , do n't you ? you were n't even five years old when he drank himself to death . jordan : that is not -- clyde : please , could we sit down and have a visit ? i want to hear all about you . i 've been so worried about you and your brother . have you heard from him ? ben : there is one thing i 'd like to know , and then we never have to mention ej dimera again . abigail : okay . ben : this time that we 've , you know , had together , getting to know each other , has this just been your way of trying to forget him ? sami : kate , is n't it bad enough that we have to work together ? do you really want to see my face every night across the dinner table ? kate : no . [ sighs ] but when that son of a bitch finds out that we are living here together , drinking his brandy together , and plotting his demise together , he 's gon na go out of his mind , and i think that is worth it , do n't you think ? sami : i suppose . kate : you know another thing i 'm gon na do , as soon as i have a moment , i think i am going to get a decorator into this man cave . maybe some flourishes , some chintz . but that abomination is gon na be the first thing that goes . sami : well , now we 've found one thing we can agree on . [ chuckles ] kate : actually , i think we can find more common ground than that . i have file folders here for each division of the company , and i 've divided them into two groups , group `` a , `` group `` b. `` group `` a , `` these are the ones that we are going to kill ourselves to make profitable . sami : and group `` b `` ? kate : well , group `` b `` is where stefano and ej have invested the bulk of their personal assets . those are the ones -- sami : that are gon na crash and burn . kate : oh , by george , you 've got it . you feeling better now ? sami : you know what ? i think i do . kate : [ chuckles ] jordan : i have n't heard from ollie . i do n't have a clue where he 's at . clyde : and here i thought you were smarter than to lie to me right off the bat . jordan : i 'm not lying . clyde : do you think i just rolled into town last night ? i 've been here for a couple of days getting all my ducks in a row . i been watching you . i been watching him too , ben , as he calls himself now . so how about the three of us get together for a little family reunion ? right now . jordan : i 'm not letting you anywhere near my brother . abigail : i may have made a lot of mistakes , but i swear to you , i 'm not using you to forget about ej . i was over ej before you and i ever even met , and what he and i had , it was -- it was n't about love , it was -- it was nothing even close to that . ben : what was it about then ? abigail : uh -- i ca n't say . ben : are you sure you were never in love with him ? maybe you still are . ej : look , william , the relationship that i have with your mother is -- it 's very complex . will : how about you and abigail ? was that complex too ? or did you just see that she was vulnerable , and decided to go in for the kill ? ej : [ laughs ] i did n't take advantage of abigail . look , you 're gon na think of me whatever you 're gon na think of me , and i understand that i ca n't do anything about that , i get it , but when it comes to abigail and your mother -- will : look , i realize that they need to take some responsibility for this mess . mostly , i just think that they -- they did n't want to see you for the man that you really are . maybe i did n't either . i so wanted to believe that you 'd changed . so did mom . but you have n't . you 're a dimera . you will always put what you want before anything else . ej : i 'm gon na get her back , william . will : which one ? my mom or abigail ? sami : [ scoffs ] [ doorbell ringing ] sami : yeah , but if all of these companies in group `` b `` start hemorrhaging money , do n't you think that the board will lose faith in us ? kate : well , not if group `` a `` is doing gangbusters . the board does n't care about where it comes from , they just want to see profits in the end . [ knocking at the door ] sami : yes ? kate : come in . sami : what is it , harold ? harold : detective hernandez is here . kate : oh , great , show him in . rafe : oh . hi , ladies . kate : detective hernandez . it 's happy hour at the manse . could i offer you a martini ? sami : [ laughs ] rafe : [ laughs ] no , no thanks . but what i would like to know is , what the hell 's going on ? jordan : i 'm not calling ben . i 'm not setting him up for you . i do n't care what you do to me . clyde : you 're smart enough to know i have people watching my boy , right now . do you want to know if he 's okay ? abigail : ben , you have to understand that when things with ej and i started , i -- [ phone ringing ] ben : i have to go . abigail : wait , but ben , i -- ej : you know full well i 'm talking about your mother . we have two kids , we 're a family , and we 've worked through a lot tougher things than this in the past . once i get out of this mess , i 'm gon na go convince her that she is the only woman that i love and the only woman that i want to be with ! will : save it for someone who cares . i 'm sorry that i ever trusted you . i 'm not gon na make that mistake again . rafe : so ... this is a subpoena . the state 's attorney 's office has requested certain financial documents from dimera enterprises . kate : can i see it ? rafe : mm - hmm . kate : oh , well , these are the divisions that we were just talking about , sami . hmm . absolutely , we would be more than happy to comply with the subpoena tomorrow morning . rafe : great . not even gon na consult with ej or stefano , huh ? kate : well , you see , we 're rather tired of answering to men . sami : [ laughs ] yes , and we have decided to run dimera enterprises our way . rafe : oh , cool . although that 's got ta be kind of awkward , considering you just married ej . sami : do n't remind me . [ knocking at the door ] harold : i 'm sorry to interrupt . miss sydney is out of sorts , ma'am . she 's asking for you . sami : oh , of course . thank you , harold . i - i have to go to her . kate : no , that 's okay , go . sami : okay . rafe . rafe : sami . so , you and stefano -- kate : there is no me and stefano . rafe : ah . is there a sami and ej ? 'cause i 'm kind of getting the feeling -- kate : well , there was a sami and ej , but then sami found out that ej cheated on her . jordan : you know , you might as well give up . he 's not gon na show . he got that message , and he took off in the other direction . clyde : nice try , but he knows you 're alone with me right now , and if he 's half the man i raised him to be , he 'll show . and that 's a good thing , 'cause after all these years , three of us have a lot to talk about . and i must say , time has been good to you . you 're even prettier than the day you left . ben : get away from her . clyde : [ chuckles ] hello there , ollie . or would you rather me call you by your new name ? ben : i do n't want you to call me anything . has this bastard told you what he wants yet ? clyde : i 'm getting a little disappointed with the way you two are treating this reunion . a stranger might hear you and think i was the one who done you wrong , instead of the other way around . ben : you can tell yourself that garbage , but do n't tell it to us . we know the truth . do you really think tracking us down means anything 's changed ? clyde : it means i have my family back , and i 'm not letting 'em out of my sight again . ben : we 're not kids anymore , and you 're getting to be an old man . i do n't know what you think you can do to us now . clyde : well , then , let me lay it out for you . first , i can get the law on you . you two stole a whole bunch of money from me , and tammy , you abducted a minor and took him across state line . that 's a federal offense . now , you both know i was real unhappy when you took off . you do n't even want to think about making me that unhappy again . [ footsteps approaching ] abigail : we both knew the truth was going to come out . did n't we ? adrienne : okay , honey , are you gon na be able to sleep tonight ? okay , honey . i 'll see you tomorrow . i love you . how 's the baby ? sonny : sleeping like an angel . adrienne : she 's the only one . lucas : what did jenn say ? adrienne : that she found out about ej and abigail because sami showed up and acted like a total bitch . sonny : mom , sami was really hurt . she thought of abigail as a friend . adrienne : yeah , but she had to know that this was all ej 's doing . sonny : it does n't sound like it 's all ej . adrienne : oh , come on , i talked to abigail . she was defending him . he talked about reading her father 's book , and how impressed he was . he snowed her . and i should have realized what was going on from the get - go , but for sami to go over to jenn 's house and -- [ door opening ] will : [ clears throat ] what 's going on ? adrienne : i 'm sorry , will . i really tried with your mother . in fact , i felt so bad for her when ej was arrested , but now -- lucas : adrienne , please , calm down . will : no , let her talk . what did my mom do now ? rafe : ej cheated on sami . is that a fact ? kate : oh , yeah . rafe : with who ? anyone i know ? kate : abigail deveraux . rafe : [ chuckles ] wow . kate : i know . i guess she was n't as innocent as we all thought . it 's kind of ironic , is n't it ? rafe : how 's that ? kate : well , sami cheated on you with ej . rafe : i know , that was the end of things . kate : [ sighs ] and then ej cheats on her , destroying everything that she thought they were . rafe : well , sami made the mistake of thinking that ej could change . kate : at least you and jordan are happy . rafe : yeah . means a lot to me . kate : i want you to know that jordan is never going to find out that the two of us were together the other day . rafe : yeah . i thought we both agreed that was a mistake . kate : i know . i know , and i know if jordan found out that we slept together again , it would certainly destroy her . adrienne : your mom did n't just tell jennifer about ej and abigail . she had pictures and she showed them . will : you 're sure ? adrienne : jennifer told me herself . now , look , i know your mom is hurt and angry , but to do that , that -- lucas : adrienne , adrienne , come on , i think we should go now . that 's enough . adrienne : you 're right . okay , all right . listen , i 'm sorry . lucas : look , i got ta go out of town in the morning , but when i get back , i 'll have a talk with your mom , okay ? i 'll get her to concentrate on ej and back off abigail . will : okay , but look , it -- dad , it 's not just abigail that i 'm worried about . what 's gon na happen to johnny and allie and sydney with ej in jail and mom on -- lucas : do n't worry about it , okay , do n't worry about your little brother and your little sister , i 'll take care of them . if i have to , i 'll get 'em out of that house myself . will : thanks , dad . lucas : all right , i love you . will : i love you too . lucas : all right . you ready ? adrienne : good night . will : bye . lucas : sonny , take care , okay ? adrienne : good night . sonny : [ sighs ] my mom is on her high horse again . i 'm so sorry . will : no , what your mom said is true . my mom knows what kind of guy that ej is . for her to take this all out on abigail like this , in front of her mom ? i just -- i ca n't believe her . i ca n't believe any of this . sonny : will . nobody died . everything is gon na be okay . will : keep telling me that . [ baby cries ] sonny : i 'll go . abigail : when i think of the lengths we were willing to go to , you were even planning to have nick killed to keep this from coming out . but if we had just been honest , and told everyone when it happened , i -- do you honestly think that it could be any worse than this ? ej : i 'm deeply sorry for what you 've been through . i 'm getting what i deserve , but samantha should n't be striking out at you . abigail : well , she told ben too . ej : have you had a chance to talk to him ? abigail : i tried , but he got a text message and said he had to go . i 'm pretty sure he just did n't want to hear about it or think about it anymore . i know how he feels . ej : i 'm sure he has a lot of questions . abigail : only one , actually . he ... wanted to know if ... i ever loved you . ben : you can threaten us all you want . you do n't run our lives anymore . clyde : i 'm not threatening you , but i am your daddy , and you do need to show me some respect . ben : i 'll show you how much i respect you ! jordan : no , stop , please ! wh -- do you really expect us to just go back to the way things were ? clyde : no , i do n't expect that at all . i 've made the necessary arrangements . jordan : what does that even mean ? clyde : i 've hired somebody to manage the business while i 'm gone . i see why you two like this town . listen , i know i 've made mistakes . we can get together tomorrow and talk about that , and about how you 're gon na pay me back for everything you put me through . i 'm sure we can come to some understanding . oh , and if you 're thinking about running , i 'd think again if i were you . be a lot harder without these . jordan : you were in my apartment ? clyde : i told the janitor i was your daddy , he let me in . nice cat you got there . jordan : oh , my god . clyde : listen , sweetheart , i did you a favor by taking these . they 're not something you want the police to see , especially when one of those cops is your new boyfriend . rafe : that night we were together ... i 'd just seen gabi , and -- kate : no , i know , i know . you had had way too much to drink . rafe : yeah , i 'm not proud of it . can we just put it behind us ? ben : have you been watching her ? clyde : the two of you are n't gon na be able to draw a breath without me knowing about it . now , i need time to convince you that i 've changed . i ca n't do that if you go running off . so if you need to reach me before tomorrow , i 'm at the salem inn . which is a nice place . a man could get real comfortable there . ben : that bastard . how did he find us ? jordan : no clue . ben : i do n't know what you 're thinking , but i 'm building a life here . i 'm not running again . rafe : i do n't like lying to jordan , but i also do n't want to hurt her . kate : i understand . sami : gilda ! please check on sydney in an hour , make sure she 's sleeping . kate : how 's sydney ? sami : she had a nightmare about her father , that he was lost and she could n't find him . kate : oh , my god . she 's gon na have so much to deal with , given the fact that her father , in the foreseeable future is gon na be behind bars for quite a long time . sami : [ chuckles ] so does that subpoena spell out everything that we need to do ? rafe : yeah , it does , so -- sami : well , as kate said , we 'll get the information to you first thing tomorrow . anything else ? rafe : no . no , that 's it . actually , there is one thing . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry about what happened to you . sami : are you serious ? you told him my personal life while i left the room ? i 'm -- kate : it 's not like it 's a -- you 've kept it a secret , sami . really , i 'm surprised you have n't gotten a bullhorn yet . sami : well -- that 's not the -- i 'm fine . i can handle this . rafe : i know . i saw the look in your eye . i almost feel sorry for ej dimera . sami : [ chuckles ] harold , see rafe out , please ! huh . kate : what ? sami : you and rafe had a booty call ? kate : [ scoffs ] we could n't help ourselves , okay ? will : thank you , i 'll have to think about it . no , i 'll get back to you tomorrow . thank you . sonny : who was that ? will : my editor at the magazine . they want me to write a cover story . sonny : and you have to think about it ? are you nuts ? will : i do n't know if i can do this . sonny : sure you can . you 're a great writer . will : they want me to write about my mom and ej . ej : what we had is over . so do n't torture yourself about it . abigail : my answer to ben was that whatever happened between us , it had nothing to do with love . sami : i ca n't believe rafe slept with you again . what , has he lost his mind ? kate : hey , hey , hey ! we 're partners , remember ? sami : i thought you found out the information , you know , that jordan 's was hiding from him . kate : i did , and rafe is going to find out soon too . sami : is it enough to break them up ?

[ scene_break ] marlena : that 's the entire story . i 'm sure i 've left out big chunks of it . john : you have no idea how many crimes were committed in your name . tony : oh , yes , andré had said as much when they brought me here , promised that he would restore the name i sullied . john : when you said `` they , `` are you saying that stefano was in on this ? tony : of course he was . you see , in andré , stefano found the son he always wanted . you know , just forget about them . tell me , how 's little samantha ? she must be grown by now . marlena : she 's grown . she 's married . she 's having twins . tony : twins ! double blessing . marlena : yeah . tony : it is , is n't it ? i mean , is there something wrong ? marlena : no , no , the twins are healthy . it 's just -- john : her husband , lucas roberts , is not the father . stefano 's youngest son , e.j . , is . tony : e.j . ? john : e.j . wells . does n't have a dimera name , but by god , he 's got the dimera genes -- every last lousy one of them . marlena : yeah , the twins were ordered by stefano , conceived at his instruction so they could create stem cells to save his wretched life . tony : without sami 's consent ? marlena : trust me -- without her consent . tony : oh , marlena . john : this vendetta between the dimeras and the bradys has gotten a little out of hand . marlena : it 's past a little out of hand . john : the bradys are gon na put an end to it , though . they 've had enough . marlena : tony , we 're trying to sort out what might have begun the vendetta . we found some old letters , and we have a few clues now . tony : you found letters ? marlena : yes , letters between stefano 's father , santo , and shawn brady sr . 's sister colleen . john : the bad blood had something to do between the relationship they had back in ireland over 50 years ago . marlena : tony , we are so hoping you can help us with this . john : santo , colleen ? tony : i heard bits of the story , especially from stefano when he had one too many stregas . but this for sure -- colleen was murdered . marlena : we know that . shawn told us that reluctantly . tony : well , santo never got over it . i mean , he was on his deathbed , and he expected a promise from stefano that he and his heirs would avenge her death until the end of their days . john : the old man knows how to keep a promise . marlena : tony , can you tell us anything at all that might help us end this vendetta ? tony : oh , i 'm sorry . wait a minute . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . i remember something . i have n't talked about this in years . stefano ... uh ... holds the key . john : yeah , well , we kind of figured that much . the thing is , he 's not talking . tony : no , i mean a literal key . and he wears it on him all the time without fail . marlena : tony , what does the key open ? do you know ? tony : oh , gosh . uh ... no , i -- all i can remember is that it had something to do with the vendetta and how to end it .

[ scene_break ] hope : yes , we did . we found a second set of prints on the note . but that person must not have a criminal record , because the prints did n't match anyone in our database . abigail : so since you matched this guy 's fingerprints , that means that he has a criminal record , right ? hope : correct . he served time in a mental hospital . he escaped last year . chad : oh , my god . bo : hey , try to stay calm . we have a solid lead . there 's no indication that melanie 's been hurt . hope : i 'm going to call daniel , fill him in . excuse me . bo : okay . gabi : so i guess there 's no way of tracking down this other person , right ? bo : i never said that . gabi : oh , how ? bo : we sent the prints to the passport agency . we 're not gon na stop until melanie is home , safe and sound , and everyone , i mean everyone who was involved in this kidnapping is brought to justice .

[ clears throat ] a new look and a new name . tell me , if you 're so innocent -- what 's your name -- danielle mullen now ? why are you going to all this trouble ? summer : will you give me a break ? i 'm trying to start a new life . salem did n't exactly welcome me with open arms . brady : stop , this has nothing to do with how salem treated you or not . you have thicker skin than that and i know that about you . summer : i 'm going to miss my flight . look , i do n't have the answers you need . you 're wasting your time here . if you -- you would be better out there looking for tate . brady : no , no , no , no , no . it 's coming together now . clark 's sister comes to town . then someone tries to blackmail know what that is . what went on with you and clark ? summer : leave me alone ! brady : tell me ! summer : just please leave -- theresa : damn it , summer ! for the first time in your life , listen , you got ta tell the truth . please . if you did n't commit a crime , then why are you running ? brady : tell us ! theresa : why ? summer : because i did commit a crime ! i killed clark . e search of the entire premises , and there is n't a sign of my mom or rafe . dario : that 's good , right ? it means they were n't there for the explosion , right ? shawn : yeah , i mean , i - i -- i 'd like to think that , yeah . eduardo : right , well ... of course , if you did n't find their body -- you did not find their bodies , right ? so -- so they escaped . there 's no doubt about that . it 's just a matter of ... figuring out how . my guess would be underground . shawn : god , you might be right . i mean , the property used to be an old dimera safe house . it would make sense that there would be another way out . eduardo : yeah . shawn : i 'm gon na guess it was probably through the dimera tunnels , which are spread out all over town . eduardo : okay , so we should be talking to somebody with knowledge of those tunnels . shawn : and i know just the guy . maggie : i 'm so glad you had time to stop by . i know how busy you 've been at the martin house . julie : darling . i always have time for you . and doug is managing the b & b today , so i can be here just as long as you need me . maggie : thanks . oh , julie . i 'm heartsick at the thought that summer might be responsible for kidnapping tate . julie : sweetheart , let 's not jump to conclusions there , okay ? i know theresa thinks that summer is the number - one suspect , but remember , theresa is ... theresa . maggie : but if it 's true , and somehow summer is involved , then i would feel partly responsible . julie : that 's nonsense , maggie . maggie : is it ? is it ? julie : nonsense . maggie : i blame myself for giving her up . and i was n't very helpful making her transition into my life , was i ? julie : not your fault , darling . it was bec -- [ sighs ] maggie : yes . yes . it was because of victor . john : well , we know for a fact that brady and theresa arrived in vegas . we just do n't have any confirmation yet they made contact with summer . victor : what 's so damn hard ? i mean , thanks to your son , we tracked her alias , cindi callahan , to that hotel on the strip . the hell 's taking so damn long ? john : i do n't know . we just have to be patient . so tell me , vic . how 's maggie handling the news ? victor : you mean about summer 's possible involvement ? john : mm - hmm . victor : how do you think ? she 's horrified . tortured with guilt because she gave the girl up , because she did n't spend enough time with her , which is insane . her main concern now is the baby , of course . as is mine . john : yeah , of course . damn it , vic , i hope to hell she 's the one who took tate . then at least we know who we 're dealing with . victor : and if she 's not ? john : then we 're back to square one . far too much time has gone by since the kidnapping . theresa : you murdered clark ? summer : i did n't murder clark . we a and he attacked me . and while i was fighting him off , he fell and hit his head . and he died . and i knew there was no way for me to prove that it was an accident , so i covered it up . and do n't even ask ... brady : and then his sister showed up looking for him . summer : and i freaked out . so when the blackmailer sent me those pictures and asked me to kidnap tate , i knew i had to get out of town so they would n't turn me in to the police . and that is why i told you to look after tate . brady : i want you to give me the blackmailer 's number . give it to me , and we 'll let you go . you have my word . [ phone line trilling ] brady : this is brady black . i do n't know who you are . i do n't care . all i care about is my son , tate . i 'll give you anything you want . no questions asked . just please return my son to me . you can reach me at the following number . 555 - 0176 . i 'll be waiting for your call . summer : now can i go ? brady : you can go when they call back and i 'm confident that you had nothing to do with this . then you can go . summer : you lied to me . brady : yes , i did . i left a message , but we have n't heard back yet . can you put a trace on that number ? john : you got it , kid . brady : took a little bit of arm twisting , but i think we convinced summer that 's she 's better off if she cooperates with us . anyway , dad , we 're gon na stay put . i do n't want to get the call while we 're on a plane . john : all right . you keep me posted . brady : will do . victor : i take it they apprehended summer ? belle : what ? that 's amazing . john : but she does not have tate . however , she was trying to leave the country . apparently , she was blackmailed into kidnapping tate , but she refused to go through with it . victor : blackmailed ? by whom ? john : she claims she does n't know , but she did give up the contact number . i 'm gon na put a trace on it right now . adriana : okay , we 're here . blanca : why 'd you say you could n't tell us over the phone ? dario : um ... let 's -- let 's sit down . adriana : [ stammering ] i do n't want to sit . dario : i - i think it would be better if -- adriana : this is about your brother , is n't it ? is n't it ? dario : mami , things might not be as bad as they seem . blanca : what does that mean ? dario : it meansc until i 've told you everything . shawn : thanks for meeting with me , abe . abe : of course , of course . i am so sorry about what you 're going through , shawn . shawn : as much as i want to believe that my mom and rafe are still alive , i ... i ca n't get the visual of that explosion out of my head . abe : yes , but no bodies have been recovered , so there 's still reason to hope . shawn : which is one of the reasons why i wanted to speak with you . so i was talking with ed . he seems to think that my mom and rafe could have escaped some place throughout the house , possibly underground , right ? and then i remembered that this property used to be an old dimera safe house . so it would make perfect sense that there would be another way out . abe : stefano 's tunnels . yeah , they could have found an escape hatch or some secret passageway . i mean , god knows , there are enough of them . you might be on to something . shawn : that 's what i 'm thinking . and look , um ... i 'm sorry that i have to bring this up . but i remember that stefano kept lexie in those tunnels , did n't he ? abe : yes . yes , he did . shawn : i know that that must have been a ... must have been a tough time for you . but you got ta tell me , is there anything that you remember , anything at all about those tunnels . anything . abe : wish i did . you know , they 're a very complicated network of escape routes . the only people i can think of that might have a working knowledge of them would have been stefano and ej . shawn : and they sure as hell ca n't help us now . abe : no , but ... but there might be another dimera you could still talk to . deimos came to town , victor 's not the same . julie : maggie , you really think if deimos had n't shown up in salem , victor 's attitude towards summer would have been less ... combative ? maggie : mm . of course not . [ exhales wearily ] [ chuckles ] why i would even think that ... julie : darling , i know you do n't like the way victor has treated summer , but he did believe that she was ... using you . and in his own heavy - handed way , i 'm sure he was trying to protect you . because he loves you . maggie : but julie , he 's so cruel to her . and he 's cruel to theresa too . he 's so lacking in compassion . it feels sometimes as if he 's reverting back to the man that he used to be , not the man that i married . and i guess what i 'm trying to say is i 'm not quite sure how to get my husband back . julie : darling , darling ... paul : i 'm good , but this man 's the boss . john : got it . part of a dummy corporation . set up , dismantled couple weeks ago . chopin group . paul : so what do we do now ? john : submerge . we go deeper . gon na be looking for the names of the people on the articles of incorporation . summer : take your time . i missed my flight anyway . theresa : like i give a damn . the only thing i care about is finding my son . brady : where were you headed anyway ? summer : does n't matter now , does it ? i mean , now that you 've spoken to your father , they 'll never let me leave the country again . brady : well , until we find this so - called blackmailer , consider us joined at the hip . and why is n't he calling back anyway ? theresa : oh , my god , brady . brady : was is this ? where 'd you get this ? you gave me back the 50 k i gave you . what are you doing with this much cash ? summer : leave my money -- brady : what did you do ? one last job before you left town ? what is this ? summer : what if i did ? theresa : and what if it is n't ? what if this is your share of kidnapping our son ? is that the real reason you changed your look , you 're leaving the country ? summer : i told you , i turned down the blackmailers . i 'm trying to escape a murder rap ! what do n't you understand ? what do i need to do to make you believe me ? brady : nothing you could do or say would make me believe you right now . i 'm gon na call him one more time .

i need you to trust me , and i need you to trust that -- that telling you who did it is not gon na help in the recovery , but what it is gon na do is put the person who told me in grave danger , and i ca n't risk that . lucas : all right . all right , fine , i 'm just not used to hearing a dimera say `` let it go , `` that 's all . chad : okay , well , what do you want -- some milk and cookies served with that too ?

[ dramatic music ] dario : i do n't think it 's his best side , but it 's a pretty clear picture of a bloody knife in his hand . and that napkin sure makes it look like he 's trying to wipe the knife clear of finger prints . his finger prints . is n't that what it looks like to you ? abigail : you 're enjoying this , are n't you ? dario : you know , the way i see it , if that 's not incriminating , i do n't know what is . it also pokes a huge hole in your statement that the two of you were together the whole night . abigail : where 'd you get that ? dario : i took it myself . abigail : you were n't there . dario : oh , but i was . i worked like a dog so i could come back to that party and surprise you . well , you can imagine how surprised i was when i walked in and saw this . you know what they say . a picture 's worth a thousand words . abigail : so thieving just was n't low enough for you , was it ? had to turn to blackmail ? dario : come on , come on . i think you should be thanking me for keeping this quiet for as long as i have . abigail : why did you keep it quiet ? dario : well , as you know , i do n't have a great relationship with cops , and i figured as long as they were chasing their tails with deimos , they 'd stay out of my way . and , with all the crap that deimos pulled , i figured maybe chad did us all a favor . abigail : i think gabi would never forgive you if you sent chad to prison . dario : that 's right . she loves him . almost as much as you do . chad : i 'm not covering for anyone . kate : then tell us who did it . chad : look , i 'm gon na tell you the same thing that i told lucas , and that 's that the situation with the hacker 's being handled , and that 's -- that 's all you need to know . kate : oh , really ? chad : yeah . kate : because i 'm the ceo . i need to know . i have the right to know . chad : well , i need you to trust me . kate : i have backed you in everything you 've done -- hell , i even married andré so you could hold on to the company . lucas : that 's going above and beyond the call of duty . chad : i 'm not telling you . that 's that . kate : oh , really ? that 's that ? chad : mm - hmm . kate : because i do n't think that 's true . lucas : oh , here it comes . here comes the ultimatums . i 'm gon na go before she draws blood -- good luck , boss . paul : okay , so i got a lead that might clear sonny . marlena : could n't you ask steve if he could help you with this ? paul : i did , but , you know , he 's got his hands full trying to prove that kayla was n't negligent . john : what are you talking about ? marlena : oh , i 'll -- i 'll -- i 'll fill you in later . so what do you know that might help sonny ? paul : okay , there was a key card found at the crime scene , and the cops traced it back to a room at the salem inn . now , whoever it was , they checked in with a phony name , and , inside the room , they found pornography , the same kind that xander liked . now , there were no finger prints , and the dna was inconclusive , but i think that xander was involved . marlena : wait a minute , is n't xander in prison in greece for trying to kidnap nicole ? paul : yeah , but i think that he got out to get his revenge on deimos for letting him take the fall . john : and then he returned to the greek prison ? it 's quite a stretch . he could n't have done that without help . marlena : who would help him ? he 's as bad as deimos is . paul : okay , okay , there are a lot more questions than there are answers , but that 's why i need your help . and -- and that means that i 'm gon na be taking him away from you for a while . hattie : oh , oh . anjelica : what on earth are you doing ? hattie : oh , i 'm trying to get comfortable . it 's one thing to be in prison -- that was bad enough . but trying to look and act like and dress dr. marlena 's making me crazy , ugh . want some chew ? anjelica : no , no , you do n't have time to get comfortable , and you can not chew gum . you have to be marlena evans 24/7 , all right ? and believe me , you 're gon na need all the practice you can get . hattie : hey , you know what ? go find somebody else to play this part . why do n't you do that ? go on some website . go on -- go on marlenaevansgoppledanger . com . see what that shows you . anjelica : oh , my god . it 's doppelganger . oh , god , this is not gon na work . it 's like , you know , if you are going to do this , you are going to have to walk into this woman 's life and look and think and walk like her 24 hours a day , all right ? marlena evans 24 hours a day . that 's what you 've got to do -- comprende vous ? hattie : oui , oui , señorita . i got it . got any booze around here ? i need a highball . anjelica : oh , great . anjelica : eight , nine , ten . all right , look , i 'm sorry , but -- hattie , what are you doing ? look , look , look , i 'm sorry . i am a little on edge , and i took it out on you , all right ? hattie : yeah , okay , well you got ta watch that . look , i 'm no shrinking violet , but i got feelings , you know ? anjelica : i know , i know . hattie : and you do n't have to keep telling me how hard it 's gon na be to convince that john black that i really am , you know , dr. marlena . is me being her really necessary ? anjelica : well , i think so , and i think that you should also stop being so negative about the plan . i think you should concentrate on how great it 's gon na feel to pay back andré dimera for what he did to you . hattie : you 're right . you 're right about that . but why do i have to be dr. marlena for it ? anjelica : well , because he would be on guard against hattie , but , see , as marlena , you could get close enough to hit him where it hurts . hattie : yeah , right in the dimera family jewels . anjelica : well , that 's a little graphic . hattie : well , that 's how i see it . anjelica : all right , all right , yes , yes , i know , but you have to remember that marlena evans is exceptionally well - spoken , so , you know what ? if you 're gon na wan na have any chance with roman brady , you 're gon na have to be all marlena , and zero hattie . hattie : what are you saying ? roman would n't like me like this ? anjelica : that 's exactly what i 'm saying , yes . he 's never really gotten over marlena . so if you play your cards right , you could still end up with the man of your dreams . but first , marlena has to break up with john black . paul : look , i am really sorry , but i need dad to go to greece with me . we have to prove that somehow xander got out of that prison somehow -- that xander was the one that killed deimos . i am in over my head here , and this is right up your alley . i mean , you know i 'm right about that . marlena : i do . paul : okay , i know that this could n't have come at a worse possible time , but ... i would understand if you said `` no . `` john : you love him , do n't you , son ? paul : i do . john : then i ca n't say no . sweetheart ... i just keep thinking -- what if this was one of our kids facing what sonny 's facing ? and what the hell are adrienne and justin going through right now ? adrienne : you know , if anything good has happened from all this , it 's that sonny has paul . after he lost will , i was so afraid he 'd never find that kind of happiness again . justin : you never forget your first love . adrienne : true . although lucas and i are proof that you can love again . enough talk , i 'm sorry . you know what ? i have to get back to `` the spectator , `` and you have to get back to work on sonny 's case , please . justin : yes , please , please , try not to worry , okay ? i 'm gon na take very good care of our boy . adrienne : i know that . thank you . justin : of course , and call me anytime . i do n't care how late , okay ? adrienne : okay , good . lucas : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? paul : i 'll leave you two alone . [ delicate music ] john : what do you think about all this ? marlena : i think you would n't be you if you did n't go . i want sonny cleared as much as anybody does . arianna needs him . and paul needs his dad . john : you are so understanding . marlena : i do think it 's rather bad timing , but i 've enjoyed these two minutes with you . john : i will be back as soon as i can . marlena : do that , would you , please ? 'cause i do n't know what i 'd do if i lost you again . anjelica : okay , so your first significant test will be to break off your relationship with john black . hattie : oh . yo , dude , hit the road . you bother me . anjelica : all right , let me rephrase that . to break off convincingly marlena 's relationship with john black . hattie : oh , you want me to be a little more ladylike , is that it ? anjelica : well , yeah . hattie : i 'm needling you here . oh , man , you just make people want to needle you . hey , and something else , you know what ? if i 'm gon na be working with you , do n't treat me like i 'm stupid . anjelica : all right , all right , look , i 'm sorry if i -- if i come off as a little overbearing . hattie : now there 's a word for it . anjelica : it 's just the stakes are so high . hattie : you never did explain to me what the stakes are for you . anjelica : well , if everything goes according to my plan , i 'll get a chance at love again too . with justin . justin : what do i think i 'm doing ? i think i 'm having a cup of coffee with adrienne . do you have a problem with that ? lucas : i have a problem with you taking advantage of the situation , yeah . justin : the situation ? you mean our son who 's facing murder charges ? adrienne : all right , i hate this , guys , really . i hate this . lucas : you know what you 're doing . you 're using her concern for sonny to try to shove me out of the picture . justin : wow , a little self - absorbed , are we ? lucas : like you were when you were married to her , maybe ? you screwed up , kiriakis . you did that all on your own . now you want her back . adrienne : all right , uh , tuh , stop it . right now , just stop it . chad : kate , neither the police nor our security department could figure out who the hacker was . i owe the person that did . now -- now my source seems to think that they can not only arrange for us to get our money back , but also ensure that it 's never gon na happen again . now , is n't that the best possible outcome ? kate : no , it 's not , because if we have vulnerabilities in our cyber security , we need to get as much information as possible can from the hacker to retool our system . chad : well , i made a promise that i would n't say anything until the hacker has the opportunity to make things right , okay ? kate : so that 's what your source wants ? chad : yes , and there is nothing you 're gon na be able to say to make me waiver . kate : hmm . see , now i know who you 're protecting . you 're protecting abigail , are n't you ? abigail : i do n't love chad . he 's moved on , and so have i . dario : well ... no one wishes that were true more than i do . then maybe you and i could have been happy together . abigail : no , dario . i told you from the beginning i did n't think that i could ever love you . i think maybe even then i sensed what you were really like . dario : there 's no point in crying over spilled milk . you still love chad . abigail : he 's the father of my child . dario : yeah , and you would do anything to protect him . so i think it would be best for everyone concerned if you just forgot about what you uncovered here . because it would be a damn shame if that made its way over to the police . chad dimera would go down in flames , and i would n't think twice about lighting that fire . adrienne : justin just spent the last half hour talking me down off the ledge , telling me that he was sure that he could get sonny cleared , and i hugged him -- i hugged him . now , if you ca n't deal with that , you need to tell me now . lucas : no , i -- i can deal with that . adrienne : well , good . lucas : i just ca n't trust him anymore , sorry . adrienne : all right , do you swear not to use sonny to come between me and lucas ? justin : do you even have to ask ? lucas : oh . adrienne : look , honestly , fellas , i can hardly wait till the two of you grow up . seriously . lucas : could n't answer the question . anjelica : you know , even after all these years , i 've never loved another man the way i love justin . hattie : mm . anjelica : i want him back , but first , i have to get adrienne out of the way . hattie : yeah . wait a minute , are n't they divorced ? anjelica : well , yes , but he 's still hung up on her even though he wo n't admit it . you know , he 's a wonderful man , but he has terrible taste in women . hattie : yeah , well , you would know . anjelica : i just need him to give me another chance , you know ? just to show him how good we could be together . hattie : yeah , well -- well , i can see that , you know , but , see , what i do n't get is , um , how does me being dr. marlena help -- help you get justin ? anjelica : well , if you will have a seat , i will explain it to you . but first , lose the gum . hattie : [ chomping ] [ spits ] anjelica : thank you . john : you 're never gon na lose me , doc , 'cause i could never love another woman the way i love you . every when we 're away , you always have my heart . marlena : i 'm glad we both understand that . john : that 's a fact . marlena : mm . john : i love you , sweetheart . always and forever . chad : you and i are done talking . kate : because i 'm right . of course , because i 'm right . this is about abigail . not that i think that she did the hacking . that leaves dario , which makes perfect sense . like father , like son . like you too . 'cause you have that look on your face that stefano used to get when he 's not gon na say another word . but take a little advice from someone who 's been there . it 's one thing to put your marriage before business , but you 're no longer married to abigail , and i am not going to let this company suffer because you 're pining for your ex- wife . abigail : i ca n't believe i ever thought you were a good person . dario : look , i do n't like playing hardball with you , but you left me no choice . abigail : so what ? you just expect me to let you off the hook ? dario : no . no , i -- i 'm actually expecting a little more than that . i know you say you do n't love chad , but i know -- i know you do . so does my sister . and he 's committed to her . so why do n't you just -- just give me a chance to make you happy ? i 'll give you some time to think about that . if you do go to the cops with what you found , all i have to do is push a button , press send , and the picture of chad and the dearly departed go straight to the police . chad 's future 's in your hands . [ door shuts ] abigail : [ gasps ] [ phone ringing ] chad : hey , it 's me . i was just calling to check on the situation with dario . i -- believe it or not , i 'm just worried about you , so , um , give me a call when you can . thanks .	anjelica went back to ny and saw marlena in her office . she said she was expecting her and that they were working together . chad called lucas to the mansion to tell him who stole their money . abby confronted dario about the counterfeiting . dario tried to justify his actions , but she did n't want to hear it . abby warned him to give the money back to chad or she would go to the police . dario told her that chad would be in trouble . chad would n't tell lucas that dario stole the money . lucas wanted to know but chad just wanted a press release done . dario told abby that chad killed deimos . justin and adrienne talked about how she got to keep the spectator . anjelica talked to marlena turned out to be hattie . marlena met john at the town square . paul wanted john to help him get sonny out of trouble . adrienne was worried that sonny might have killed deimos . dario asked abby if she was with chad the entire time during the party . abby lied and said she was . dario showed her proof that chad killed deimos .
sami : is this what they mean by getting all hot and bothered ? lucas : i do n't know . we started out wet and lathered , but that just was n't sexy enough . why do n't you turn around , and i 'll get your back . sami : this -- other than my salty cinnamon , this has been the perfect day . lucas : even with that salty cinnamon , it 's been perfect . and i 'm not gon na let anything ruin it . kate : what was i thinking ? he probably still has manda in there . eh . i do n't want to douse that flame . well ... i could always leave them with sami . ha ha . [ scene_break ] bo : well , that is not good enough . there 's got to be more information out there on patrick lockhart . that 's a little hard to believe . i have an i.s.a . file right here in front of me that says he could be a killer . now , where is the evidence ? who the hell did he kill ? yeah , get me that information . john : all right , that 's enough , bo . you 're exhausted . let 's shut it down . bo : like hell ! that -- if my wife is dead , lockhart 's the reason . i got to find out everything there is to know about him . who he knows , who he 's worked for , where he 's lived . john : nothing 's more important than finding hope , but that 's not going to bring her back . you know it , do n't you ? bo : it 's possible . john : you saw the missile strike the plane . you were at the crash site . you know there are no survivors , bo . come on , man . i know how hard this is to accept . i went through the same thing with doc . even while i held her in my arms after she was shot , even when i was in the morgue and i saw her laying on that slab , a part of me did n't want to believe that she was dead . and sometimes i still refuse to believe it . [ scene_break ] abe : you know what bothers me about you , patrick ? patrick : what 's that , abe ? abe : the fact that i think you genuinely care about jennifer and her baby . patrick : yeah , and that bothers you why ? abe : because you said jennifer 's life depends on us letting you go . patrick : that 's right . abe : but you care more about the scumbags you work for . you 'd rather protect them than help us find jennifer and her baby . [ door closes ] roman : which makes you a scumbag . patrick : i told you , i do n't know anything . [ scene_break ] hope : did you find my dad ? marlena : no , hope , i did n't . i looked everywhere . i 'm sorry . hope : do you think something happened to him ? roman : no , no . he 's around here somewhere . it 's just that with no cell phones or pagers , it 's difficult to get a hold of somebody if they 're not at home . abe : he 'll be here as soon as he finds out you 're on the island . marlena : what 's going on here ? abe : patrick knows something about jennifer 's kidnapping ... and maybe a lot more . patrick : all i know is that if jennifer 's still alive , she 's in danger , and if you do n't let me go , both she and her baby could die . roman : not if you tell us where you think she is . patrick : i do n't know ! abe : then how do you expect to find her ? [ scene_break ] jack : you 're still alive . you 're alive . but you 're burning up . oh ... i got to do something . i 've got to help you . jennifer ? you 're on fire . i 've got to ... help . [ muttering ] oh , my god . [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] sami : what was that ? lucas : what ? [ doorbell rings ] sami : my doorbell ringing . lucas : forget about it . come on . sami : oh , i want to , but it might be belle with news about shawn or something . lucas : better hope it 's not my mom with more lasagna . sami : [ laughs ] no , i 'm sure your -- do n't worry about it . your mom learned her lesson the first time to call before she comes first , and anyhow , i 'm probably the last person she would stop by and see . finish your shower . lucas : hurry back . [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] sami : okay , okay , hold your horses . i 'm coming . oh , what the hell are you doing here ? kate : oh , sami , relax , okay ? the only reason i 'm here is that i know the children at will 's camp ca n't receive packages from anyone other than their parents , so i brought by these cookies that you could send to him for me . sami : oh . kate : i mean , i would have left them with lucas , but then i realized that he 's probably still enjoying the company of that lovely nurse manda . ha ha . well , i would n't want to interrupt , you know , so could you send these to will for me ? sami : no . kate : okay . i could be petty and vindictive , but actually , it is just so wonderful that you are finally a 3-time loser . because lucas -- he 's with manda right now . he 's probably going to be with her for a long time . who knows ? maybe they 'll even get married . and i do n't even know this woman , but i know she 's going to be the best thing that ever happened to him , because she 's not you . sami : oh , yeah ? kate : and then lucas will sue for and get full custody of will , and you 'll end up exactly the way you deserve to -- angry , bitter , and alone . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , we have been through all of this over and over again . i just think that i have a better chance of finding jennifer alone . if the people that are holding us prisoner are watching , a search party will never be able to slip away . but one person stands a chance . abe : providing you can get through the electric force field along the perimeter . but you know how , do n't you ? patrick : no , i do n't , but i 'm gon na try . abe : you know , roman and i are trained to find missing persons . are you ? and why does jennifer 's life depend on you being the one to go look for her ? marlena : may i talk to patrick alone , please ? patrick : no , no . that is a waste of time . you 're a shrink , right ? what the hell do you want to do to me ? marlena : i just want to talk to you . and if your concerns for jennifer are sincere -- we all want what 's best for her , and i think that roman and abe will probably let you go . patrick : fine . fine . go ahead , ask away . [ scene_break ] [ both panting ] jack : [ muttering ] oh ... wait . oh ! jennifer , i -- oh . oh , this -- oh ... wait a minute . jennifer ... i -- it 's water ! we got water . jennifer , feel it . do you feel the water ? it 's water . feel it . jennifer , baby , do you feel that ? feel that . it 's water . jennifer : oh , jack . oh ... oh , thank god you 're alive . jack : shh . jennifer : oh , thank god . jack : no , no , do n't talk . jennifer : thank god ! jack : do n't talk . just calm -- calm . we 've got to conserve strength . all right ? save your strength . just save your strength . hold onto this . i 'm gon na have to go and get you some food -- bananas or some coconut milk . all right ? does that sound all right ? jennifer : yeah . jack : good . i got to figure out where we are and find a way back . jennifer : what , back where ? back where ? jack : huh ? jennifer : where ? jack : back to -- back where i came from . i got to find back where we came from . okay . i 'll be back . you just hold onto that , okay ? stay calm . please stay . all right . okay . jennifer : jack ? jack ? could you , um ... could you get me some watermelon ? watermelon sounds really good . jack : what ? i ca n't get -- i -- all right . watermelon . jennifer : yeah . jack : got it . jennifer : okay . jack : watermelon . jennifer : okay . jack : you stay right there . jennifer : okay . jack : i got to find a watermelon . watermelon . watermelon . watermelon . jack : aah ! jennifer : jack ? jack ? jack ? [ scene_break ] roman : well ? marlena : he is definitely hiding something . abe : i did n't have a doubt about that . marlena : but his motives are good . i think he really cares for jen . hope : so do i . but then why is he being so secretive ? roman : you could n't find out anything at all ? marlena : no , i 'm sorry , i could n't . hope : excuse me , but is n't saving jennifer the most important thing right now ? if she is alive , she is out in that jungle somewhere , alone and pregnant . she could go into labor at any time . marlena : hope is right . we 've got to find her immediately . hope : that means we let him go . roman : no , we ca n't , we ca n't . what if he 's lying about wanting to get to jennifer ? abe : you know , roman 's right . i mean , he could be using this to try to hook up with whoever 's running this little dog - and - pony show . hope : wait , wait , wait , listen , that 's possible , but do n't you think it 's worth the risk ? roman : no . no , hope , i 'm sorry . we 're gon na do this by the book . there are too many lives at stake besides jennifer 's .

vivian : do i have to spell it out ? i mean , we 've -- we 've become closer . you -- you seem to have more respect for me and more trust , and you do n't know what that means to me . and because of this said respect and trust , i would like to ... set you up in a legitimate business . quinn : look , ma , i appreciate the sentiment , but m fine on my own , thanks . : i 've never owed anyone a damn thing , and that 's the way i 'd like to keep it . kate : and there 's no need to have secrets . you 're a fan of lola . who would n't be ? randy : look , just tell me what you 're asking , okay ? kate : well , evidently , our lola has decided to branch out . she has been bitten by the showbiz bug , if you will . she booked a low profile gig at a local nightclub . she fancies herself a singer . randy : so what do you want from me ? kate : well , i would like you to attend one of the performances . randy : that 's it ? kate : well , after you arrive , i 'm going to arrange to have you seated next to a representative from child services , who is t going to be very impressed , until you manage to slip into the conversation the fact that you paid our little songbird for sex . randy : why the hell would i doing that ?

jennifer : how do you think he took it ? adrienne : he 's still confused . jennifer : of course he 's confused . he does n't understand why i 'm letting carly 's feelings get in the way of our being happy together , but he does n't understand the kind of shape that carly 's in right now . adrienne : what does that mean ? jennifer : adrienne , let me just tell you something . it is the only thing that is keeping her together . believing that she has a chance with daniel , that is all she 's got right now . carly : [ sobbing ] ej : it is wonderful to be taken seriously , father . you know , to have your feelings respected . so i appreciate your remarkable sensitivity . stefano : what ? i 'm wrong ? ej : this has absolutely nothing to do with taylor . stefano : oh , come on . this money grabber . she 's been a problem from day one . ej : hey , enough , all right ? you do n't talk about her like that . i 'm warning you . stefano : oh , you 're warning me ? well , i 'm warning you , elvis . get with it , all right ? no matter what you do , no matter how much remorse you show , she is not going to forgive you . do you understand that ? ej : am i -- am i talking to a wall right now ? i told you , this has nothing to do with taylor . stefano : you know , she may forgive you for a few things , but her mother 's death ? ej : i had nothing to do with her mother 's death . stefano : uh - huh . but in taylor 's mind , you did . ej : okay . i 'm going to say something now , and you are actually going to listen . i would never give up my children to just ingratiate myself with a woman . what i 'm doing is first and foremost for the children . and then for me . so that i can be better , if not a more worthwhile person , then at least less of a disgrace in their lives . stefano : [ sighs ] i do n't know where all this lunacy is coming from , all right ? but i 'm gon na put a stop to it . i 'm gon na get my other lawyers , and they 're just gon na stop this charade , and do n't even dream about trying to stop me . chloe : do n't get me wrong , kinsey . i am flattered , but i just do n't think it 's a good idea to want to be anyone but yourself . and if you do want to try to emulate someone , it should definitely not be me . kinsey : why not ? i mean , you 're everything i want to be , you know ? gorgeous , talented , strong ... i quinn : my thoughts exactly . i 'm quinn . kinsey : uh , i 'm kinsey . nice to meet you . chloe : hey , uh , kinsey , can we have a moment ?

[ sighs ] if he torpedoes this whole campaign because of his attitude towards the product , i do n't want to feel the heat . i want to go on record . justin : got it . you 're on record -- a broken record , but paul is part of mad world now , and you do n't get to just refuse responsibility because he was n't your first choice . so suck it up and find a way to make it work or ... kate : or ... leave ?

[ shower running ] justin : the truth is as much as i 'd love to blame lucas for what happened between me and adrienne , it 's not his fault . i was the one who was unfaithful . i was the one who was gone for months on end . kate : well , for a reason . it was n't just you alone . justin : we know . but the bottom line is there comes a time when you decide to either work on your marriage or punt . and i punted . kate : sometimes that 's the better part of valor . justin : you 're not going to make me feel good about this . kate : [ chuckles ] okay . okay , so do n't feel good , all right ? but you will move on . justin : eventually . kate : soon ... because i have plans . i need you on your game . justin : not to worry . i can handle business . that may be the only thing i can handle for a while , but ... kate : okay , then . then let 's make it worth your while . i am going to send you the files as soon as i get back to my office . justin : kate . kate : oh , you 're going to thank me for being kind and insightful . i do have my moments . justin : do me a favor ? kate : if i can . justin : look out for yourself . kate : [ sighs ] you 're talking about clyde ? do n't worry . i can take care of myself .

[ scene_break ] [ sirens approaching ] brady : paramedics are here . nicole : probably do n't need them now , right ? i mean , the guy 's got to be dead by now , right ? man : i 'm guessing the victim is down in the car . brady : yes , yes , he is . he 's down in the ravine . man # 2 : no . there 's no one in the car . nicole : what ? ! you mean he not only survived , but he got away ? [ scene_break ] bo : ha ha . you 're right . i owe you big time . bye . before you say anything now , i did not break our promise . i did n't call them . they called me . the interruption was their fault . hope : you 're being a little defensive , do n't you think ? bo : well , maybe a little . hope : i know it 's not your fault . bo : okay . hope : okay , so ? are you going to tell me who it was and what it was all about ? do we have another bail - jumper to go after ? bo : no , we do n't . i just put out a few feelers , that 's all . hope : about what ? bo : that mystery substance of maya 's . i , you know , just called in a few favors . actually got some shaky leads on where it might have come from . hope : why did n't you just call the i.s.a . ? bo : because they would n't have given me any more information than what shane already gave you . hope : do you think they know what it is ? bo : i don know . what i do know is that somehow tony dimera is involved in this . hope : because he was in with maya . bo : yeah , up to his neck . so i just got to go out there and see what i can come up with without the i.s.a . knowing what i 'm doing . hope : all right , okay , when do we leave ? bo : that 's what i got to talk to you about . hope : you 're not doing this without me . [ scene_break ] lucas : it 's just stress . you know , is n't that why anybody drinks , because of stress and work ? and i have will . you know , he 's been a little more negative than usual . he totally thinks the world is this unsafe place . maggie : well , he 's right , is n't he ? lucas : yeah , he is right . but i do n't want him to be right , not at this age , not about that . i do n't want him thinking that bad things are going to happen to him , and he 's got to go through life worrying about that . it 's just no way to live . maggie : no , it is n't . lucas : and then there 's me . i 've been , um ... i 've been kind of out of control lately . maggie : well ? lucas : i 'm having unsettling thoughts about somebody i hate . maggie : unsettling thoughts ? lucas : yeah . maggie : come on , lucas , if something is bothering you enough to start drinking again , then you 've got to open up . you 've got to be honest with yourself . and with me , or i 'm out of here . lucas : wait , wait , wait . do n't , do n't . you 're right . i 'm sorry . i just , uh ... i 've been having romantic fantasies about someone who i know i do n't want to be involved with . maggie : there . was that so hard ? you 're having fantasies about sami . lucas : yeah . yeah , i am . can you believe that ? i do n't know why i 'm having these fantasies . i do n't even know why i 'm talking about it . maybe if i talk about it , i 'll stop having the fantasies , and then i wo n't feel like i need to drink so much , because that 's what this is . this is me drinking because of sami , and this is sami 's fault once again . maggie : lucas -- lucas : it is , in a roundabout way . maggie : stop it ! you know better than that . no one can control your life but you , lucas . it 's no one 's fault but yours that you crossed that line and took that first drink . lucas : you 're right . you 're right . i take full responsibility for drinking again . but i am not taking responsibility for these stupid fantasies ! i do n't know where they 're coming from . i do n't want them . i want them sent back . i want them gone . i mean , it 's no secret . everybody knows i hate sami ! maggie : i do n't think that 's true . [ scene_break ] tony : well , do n't be shy . samantha , is there anything i can do to ... make you feel better ? tony : oh . let me understand . what you 're saying is ... a diamond bracelet to match the earrings and the necklace . yes ? yes . i think an exquisite diamond bracelet would complement the other jewelry , but i think the pièce de résistance would be to place a larger diamond on this finger here to replace the one that brandon walker gave you . [ scene_break ] brady : come here . what the hell is with you , nicole ? you want this guy to get away ? nicole : no . no , i 'm just blown away that someone could survive an awful crash like that and walk away from it . man : i do n't think that 's what happened . the driver 's door was completely torn off . my guess ? either the driver opened it and jumped out , or the door flew open and he was thrown out . nicole : you mean there 's no sign of him anywhere ? man : he could have been thrown anyplace . i have n't been on many accident scenes as violent as this one . brady : no , this one was pretty nasty . man : how sure are you that he was still in the car when it went over the side ? brady : dead sure . there 's no possible way he could have jumped out of the car . man : all right , let 's start looking . my partner 's down in the ravine . i 'm gon na search the area to the west . why do n't you guys take this area down here ? man # 2 : you got it . man : i 'm gon na need you two to wait in the car so i can get a report from you after i find this guy . brady : i 'm sorry , but i just ca n't wait up here . i got to help you search . man : okay , but do n't touch anything if you find it . brady : right . all right , you know what , nicole ? i 'm just gon na check these bushes down here . nicole : no , you 're not . not alone . i 'm going with you . brady : nicole , your shoes , remember ? nicole : oh , i do n't give a damn about my shoes . i 'm going with you , and that 's all , so shut up and help me down the hill . brady : fine . let 's go . man : hey , over here . i found him . [ scene_break ] bo : hope , would you relax ? hope : relax , relax . we just got through talking abut how this was going to be our business adventure . it 's not you , it 's not me , it is us . is that not what we decided ? bo : this has nothing to do with our business adventures . it 's not like we 're going out after some bail jumper or something . it 's -- this is a lot of boring legwork . hope : i thought we were a team . you misled me -- bo : we are a team , hope . but we both do n't need to go out there and interview clerks and dock workers . hope : for the sake of argument , let 's just say we both did go out and interview clerks and dock workers . what would we be asking ? what would we be looking for ? bo : maya 's mystery substance . look , i 'm going to check the point of origin records on the ship it came in on , ask a few questions . it 'll take a couple of days -- nothing big . hope , it 's -- it 's grunt work . hope : well , i can grunt with the best of them . bo : yeah , i know that about you . but you can also hang out with zack . listen , this might not be anything . it could be a big waste of time . hope : and if it is n't ? bo : if it is n't , i 'll make you a deal . if i come up with any leads , i 'll give you a call . i 'll work on this together . okay ? it 's settled i go this alone , right ? [ scene_break ] lucas : what do you mean i do n't hate sami ? of course i hate sami . she is the bane of my existence . i hate everything about her . everything she does drives me crazy . what , are you saying it 's in my subconscious ? is that what you 're saying , that that 's why i 'm drinking because i ca n't accept that ? and if it is , maggie , you 're as crazy as she is . maggie : oh , that 's rich . because i never said anything close to that . you 're the one that said it , lucas . that means you 've been giving it a lot of thought . that means a part of you thinks it 's true . lucas : no , it 's not true . there is nothing between us . there 's no attraction , there 's no nothing . the only thing we have is disgust and revulsion . maggie : and what about these fantasies and unsettling thoughts you 're having about her ? lucas : i do n't know what to do about those fantasies . maggie : well , i think it 's simple . you just tell her how you 're feeling . lucas : yeah , right . have her laugh in my face ? she 'll laugh me off the map . maggie : are you afraid of being laughed at ? is that what this is -- fear ? lucas : yeah . yeah , maybe i am a little scared , but ... i never thought of myself as a coward . maggie : well , then do n't be . talk to her . and , also , i would like to know how you 're feeling about returning to the meetings . lucas : well , i do n't know . is there one tomorrow ? maggie : yes . there is . lucas : then i guess i 'll be going to that meeting . maggie : well , good . so , what are you going to be doing about sami ? lucas : maybe i should talk to her , while i still have the nerve . maggie : is she home ? lucas : no , she 's out , uh , she 's out with somebody , but i think i might know where they might wind up . thank you , maggie . i appreciate it . maggie : you 're welcome . aw ... lucas , do me a favor . lucas : yeah . maggie : next time , call me before you start tipping the glass . lucas : i will . i promise . maggie : good night . all right . lucas : you got lipstick on me . maggie : yeah , i know . [ scene_break ] tony : so , how many karats would you like this diamond to be ? i can certainly afford a larger one than brandon walker . oh . i 'm sorry . that was insensitive of me . please do n't take it seriously . no , no . of course not . but all joking aside about the ring , would you accept the bracelet ? you know , you and i are so much alike . much more than you 're willing to admit . well , we 're both loners . not always by choice , but , you know , we have our own individualism -- the way we think , our impulses , our actions , our thoughts ... well , you know , sometimes they 're misunderstood . we 're determined , focused ... sometimes a little self - involved ... self - important . but i do n't see those as negative traits , do you ? i mean , i think you and i came back to salem and we danced around each other . honestly , i think it was because we were trying to use each other . so , if you can put that past behind you and consider the benefits of having a future with me ... [ scene_break ] nicole : wait . nicole : he sure looks dead . he is , is n't he ? man : i ca n't find a pulse . let the paramedics know where we 're at . help me turn him over ? brady : [ coughs ] this man looks familiar . i 've seen him somewhere before . recognize him , nicole ? nicole : no , i have never seen him before . brady : oh , my god . this is larry welch . i 've seen his picture in the paper . man : no , larry welch was killed during a prison transfer . brady : yeah , i know he was , but this is him ! [ music plays ] [ scene_break ] hope : okay . okay . you can go without me . but ... on one condition . bo : what 's that ? hope : if you get a solid lead , you have to call me right away . bo : i promise . hope : no , actually , you have to call me every day . no , make that twice a day . because you have to call with a progress report three to four to five times a day . because you need to call for all those in - between times and especially right before you go to sleep , because i have to hear your voice . bo : i 'll call just to hear your sexy voice and picture that perfect face and that luscious body . hope : are you sure you want to go ? bo : mm - hmm . hope : you know what i want to do right now , brady ? bo : got a pretty good idea . hope : wrong . bo : then what is it ? hope : i want to do that when we get home . bo : okay . hope : right now i want to dance . bo : okay . singer : when the world casts a shadow and i 'm feeling [ scene_break ] tony : oh , relax , sami . i 'm not anxious to hear church bells chiming , either . no , i find you ... appealing ... interesting ... intriguing . and i think you could prove to be a valuable asset to me in the future . and vice versa . so , what do you say ? may i have the pleasure of sharing another evening with you ? [ scene_break ] man : is he alive ? man # 2 : i do n't know . i could n't find a pulse . nicole : he 's dead . man # 3 : give us some room , please . nicole : he has to be dead . man : this guy 's still alive . [ next_on ] rex : there has to be some way to get philip away from her . mimi : tell him the truththat the three of you have the same mother . philip : ha ha ha ha ! lucas : there could a guy that cares about you . abe : larry , who helped you ? who was it , larry ?	larry is finally caught , and after his crash , is found alive , much to nicole 's dismay ! tony gives sami a pair of diamond earrings , and they plan another date . after a meeting with maggie , lucas decides to tell sami about his feelings . bo and hope share a romantic evening , but then get a lead on the mysterious goop ...
jan : they must be going at it hot and heavy . guess they 're going to let the answering machine pick up . philip 's voice : hi . philip and belle are n't in right now . leave us a message . how was that ? belle 's voice : perfect . just perfect . jan : now do you believe me ? shawn - d : jan ? jan ! jan : what is it , pumpkin ? i was just trying on my new uniform . i can not wait to cheer my lover on , especially when he hits the long - awaited home run and slides right into home base .

[ scene_break ] gene : i appreciate you seeing me on such short notice , brady . brady : well , mr. briscoe , you 're titan 's chief legal counsel . i could n't turn you away . so what 's going on ? what 's on your mind ? gene : well , i wish i came bearing better news . the agreement to fund the isabella toscano black concert hall expires at midnight . if you ca n't get the voting members to agree to fund the project , i 'm afraid it 's officially dead . brady : if my grandfather was still alive , he would n't give up . he would make the family understand why this concert hall was so important . he 's counting on me to carry out his wishes . so is chloe . bo : brady , come on , man . i am in the middle of trying to find my wife and son . brady : bo , i know your mind is elsewhere , but i need to ask you a favor . can you come over to titan for a meeting ? philip : no . no way . absolutely not . brady : philip , will you just listen to what i have to say ? philip : how many times have we been over this , brady ? i do n't need another fistfight this morning , all right ? brady : all right , listen , before you say no , i 'd appreciate it if you would just listen to what i have to say . [ scene_break ] victor : rhubarb -- my favorite . would it be too much to hope that you 're about to make one of your blue - ribbon rhubarb pies ? caroline : victor . oh . well -- ahem . why do n't you help me make it ? it 's not as if you have to run titan on this island . what do you say ? victor : i 'd like that . caroline : what 's wrong , victor ? it 's nicole , is n't it ? victor : i never could keep anything from you . yes , yes , it is . it wo n't be long before my widow poisons my entire family against each other . from what i understand , she 's well on her way . [ scene_break ] nicole : what the hell is that doing there ? how long has the man been dead ? marie , i want you to remove victor 's nameplate a.s.a.p . marie : should n't we wait until the board names a new ceo ? nicole : excuse me . are you questioning me ? what , are you still afraid of the old man even now that he 's dead ? marie : mr. kiriakis was a wonderful , generous man . nicole : the name is mrs. kiriakis , and my late husband was anything but wonderful . well , maybe he gave you two weeks ' paid vacation , a lousy bonus , and a honey - baked ham for christmas , but he gave me nothing but grief 24/7 . ahem . let me give you a little tip , marie -- the sooner you realize there 's a new sheriff in town , the better off you 'll be , so for the last time , i want you to call maintenance and have victor 's nameplate removed . marie : but , mrs. kiriakis , is n't that almost sacrilegious ? after all , mr. kiriakis built this company from the ground up . nicole : company . he built this company . this is not a church , and he is not a god , so it is not sacrilegious . brady : i agree with marie on that one . nicole ... i think you 're making a big mistake . [ scene_break ] patrick : i am not the enemy here , dr. evans . how do i convince you that i am not involved in some conspiracy with your captor -- our captor ? marlena : well , so far , we only have your word for it , and that 's not worth very much , is it ? patrick : damn it , why ca n't you people see ? i only want to save jennifer . if she and her baby survived the plane crash , she is going to need our help right now . marlena : we understand that . that 's why abe and roman and hope went to search for her . they 're trained to find missing persons . you 're not . and if you have information about her whereabouts , you have not been very forthcoming . i just hope they find her pretty soon . that force field is nearly impossible to get through . patrick : you 're wrong , dr. evans . marnana : you know some way to get through it ? you do , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] abe : hope ! hope : aah ! abe : hope ! hope ! roman : hope , hope , can you hear me ? abe : she 's in shock . roman : aw , damn it , hope . we 're not going to lose you , too . [ scene_break ] marlena : patrick , if you know a way through that force field , you had better tell me . patrick : i do n't . marlena : when i said it was almost impossible , you said i was wrong . what did that mean ? patrick : all i meant was if jack deveraux found his way through the force field , so can i . marlena : what happened to jack was a fluke . there was a power surge when he tried and slipped through . he has n't been seen since . he could have been attacked in the jungle by some wild animal , could have been killed , or could have been killed by our host . tony dimera found his compass in the jungle . abe found his shredded backpack in salem place . patrick : that does n't mean jack 's dead . from everything i 've heard about deveraux , he 's a pretty resilient guy . for all we know , it could be our captor is trying to scare the inhabitants of new salem , warning us not to follow in deveraux 's footsteps . marlena : well ... you could have a point . or you could have been sent by our host . why , you could be a spy or an assassin . patrick : i swear on my life , i am not either one of those things . if you let me go , i 'll prove it . if jack and jennifer are still alive , i 'll find them , and i 'll bring them to safety . i 'll risk my own life for theirs . marlena : why ? you barely know them . patrick : because it 's the right thing to do , and maybe i have n't always done the right thing in my past . what do you say ? will you convince abe and roman to let me go ? [ scene_break ] roman : all right , how 's her pulse ? abe : the shock from the electrical force field sent her heart into an erratic rhythm . roman : well , we do n't exactly have a defibrillator out here . what the hell do we do ? abe : we 'll just have to keep trying to keep her calm . all right , let 's just talk to her , keep her breathing steady . roman : all right . hope , hope , this is roman . now , abe and i are right here . now , we need you to concentrate on your breathing , okay ? can you do that for us ? try to breathe evenly . abe : you know , early in my career , i was a paramedic in chicago . i dealt with some cases like this . roman : yeah , but that was different . you had equipment . abe : no , no , that 's what i 'm trying to say . we had so many cutbacks in the program -- we just had to figure out different ways to treat the victims . roman : well , then , so what the hell did you do ? abe : we improvised . roman : all right , let 's improvise . what are you looking for ? roman : what are you going to do with that ? abe : i 'm going to try to save her life . [ scene_break ] caroline : how can i ease your mind about nicole ? victor : you ca n't . nicole is my mistake , a monster that i created . caroline : oh , i would n't say that . she was off to a good start when you met her . have you talked to hope about nicole ? victor : yes , and our daughter - in - law informs me that my slut of a wife has managed to cause a rift in my family . she has pitted brady against bo and philip . caroline : victor , it does n't take a brain surgeon to know that the girl 's head over heels in love with your grandson . victor : she 's obsessed with my grandson , and that 's what frightens me . [ scene_break ] brady : why do you want to replace my grandfather 's nameplate ? nicole : hello -- he 's dead , i 'm alive . and since i 'll be leading this company into the 21st century , i need an office . assuming we were n't planning on making this one a historical landmark , i want it . brady : is this really the way to go about it , by attacking my grandfather 's executive secretary ? nicole : what ? brady : and by replacing the nameplate on my grandfather 's door ? how can you say that you have titan 's best interests at heart ? victor kiriakis is a name people trust . he is the whole reason why people do business with this company . nicole : mm - hmm . but now he 's gone , and life has to go on . look , i simply asked her to remove victor 's nameplate . she was the one who started giving me grief . marie : i felt i had to say something out of respect . nicole : well , consider this , marie -- the only reason i never fired you is out of respect . brady : all right , will you stop it ? get in here . i 'd like to talk to you . now you listen to me -- you want to succeed at this company , you have got to convince my grandfather 's employees , his peers , and his family that you 're going to carry out his visions . if you want to erase his memory , you better quit right now . so instead of replacing the nameplate on his door , why do n't you carry out my grandfather 's visions that he set forth in last year 's stockholders meeting ? nicole : concert hall folder ? i thought this was dead in the water . brady : it was . i just talked to gene briscoe . we have one last chance to set this project in motion . are you game ? [ scene_break ] philip : you know , you did n't have to come down here . belle : no , i wanted to . besides , someone 's got to keep the peace between you and brady . philip : yeah . belle : i ca n't have my half - brother hating the new man in my life . bo : belle , sounds like you moved on from shawn to philip . [ scene_break ] jan : i am so smart , taping my little love monkey 's every move . oh , look at you , shawn -- live on tape . you sure are one yummy little cookie . and with this new editing software , i 'll be able to patch together some of the audio so that you can give belle the ultimate blow off . ha ha ha . aw , poor belle 's going to be so devastated , she 's going to have no choice but to run back to philip 's waiting arms , and once that happens , shawn - douglas , you will be all mine . .yeah . [ scene_break ] roman : so what 's that going to do ? abe : the sap 's a natural sedative . it should help calm hope and regulate her heartbeat . roman : abe . abe , her eyes are fluttering . abe : all right . slow and steady , slow and steady . roman : all right , damn , pard -- i 'm impressed . hope : did i make it ? abe : you 're alive . hope : no , the force field -- did i get across ? abe : not quite . hope : oh , god . what happened ? roman : well , you got electrocuted , so just -- just take it easy , okay ? abe : hope ! hope : aah ! oh , god , jennifer . abe : no , no . roman : hey , not so fast . not so fast . abe : you 're not going anywhere , kiddo . roman : no , no , no . just take it easy , huh ? abe : yeah . your body 's just suffered a tremendous shock -- literally . roman : come on . you ca n't over - exert yourself . i want doc to take a look at you first . hope : roman , i 'm fine . roman : hope -- hope : i 'm fine . really , i appreciate your concern . just help me get up . abe : all right , all right . roman : all right . abe : here you go . okay . hope : oh . [ scene_break ] hope : there 's got to be a way around this thing . roman : well , i 'm afraid without the equipment , it 's going to be impossible to break that code . hope : lucky for us , we 're in possession of the key . i 'm going to get it . roman : hope . hope , damn it . wait . [ scene_break ] marlena : those are noble words , patrick , but it 's not up to me to let you go . patrick : i have no reason to want jennifer and her baby dead . i am not in on any plot , i swear . i 'm innocent . when you were arrested as the serial killer , everyone , including my sister mimi , was shocked . she could n't believe it . she thought it was impossible that you could have killed all those people . she told me what a saint you were , how you were so fair and kind and caring , how you gave everybody the benefit of the doubt . now , if that 's true , it has to be in your nature to give me the benefit of the doubt and let me go . marlena : i appreciate your kind words . it really is not my decision to make . patrick : look , i may not be a saint , but i am not responsible for jen 's kidnapping . i only want to help her and her baby . if you let me go , i will break through the electrical perimeter . [ door slams ] hope : and how do you plan on doing that , patrick ? [ scene_break ] victor : nicole is a cold - blooded killer . i 'm afraid if brady rejects her , she 's liable to try and kill him . caroline : well , maybe we better hope brady falls in love with nicole . victor : huh ? brady 's in love with chloe . caroline : chloe 's not there . in my experience , it 's possible for a person to love two different people . there was a time when i was involved with two different men -- two men i loved very much . it did n't work out for us , victor , but who 's to say ? if you 'd stayed in salem , maybe it would have been you . victor : so you think because nicole is in town and chloe is n't ... caroline : when it comes to love , it just happens . brady could be carrying a torch for chloe , but it 's possible he could fall in love with nicole . well , now that i 've said that , it 's also true that -- that brady 's love for chloe may be his best defense against nicole . victor : [ sighs ] i do n't want my grandson involved in any of this . caroline : victor , there 's not much you can do about it , given your circumstances . victor : well , i 've got to believe that -- that bo and john are going to have their eyes open . they 'll be able to see how dangerous nicole really is . caroline : when it comes to feelings , love , or even attraction , we hear what we want to hear . victor : that 's true . brady 's too much like his mother . not only is he trusting , but ... he 's also very fair , and he 's being led by his heart , not his head , and nicole is far too bright to leave any evidence behind that 's going to incriminate her . i should have cut nicole loose when i had the chance . caroline : but you were in love with her . victor : no . i only loved one woman my entire life ... and it certainly was n't nicole . [ scene_break ] nicole : of course i want the concert hall to be built . that 's why i offered you my jewelry to help fund it , but you refused to take it . have you changed your mind ? brady : no , no . with all due respect , it was a very generous offer , but , nicole , your -- your jewelry would n't fund one day 's worth of work . i mean , to fund this concert hall , we 're going to have to return to the root of our troubles . nicole : not bo and philip . brady : yes , i 'm afraid so . i 've called a meeting . [ scene_break ] [ intercom beeps ] brady : excuse me . yes ? oh , they are ? nicole : [ thinking ] this could n't have worked out better if i had planned it out myself . there 's no way bo and philip are going to give in on the concert hall . once this meeting is over , i 'll be a few short steps from getting everything i ever wanted , including brady . brady : okay . thank you . bo , philip , and belle are here . you ready to go ? nicole : absolutely . brady : hey , listen , nicole , i just wanted to thank you for your support regarding this concert hall . it means a lot to me . [ scene_break ] belle : what i meant was philip 's my new roommate . he 's subletting mimi 's room , since she 's living with rex . and i 'm so , so sorry -- bo : no , no . hope is alive . i know what you 've heard in the news , but ... i 'm going to find my wife and my son . shawn is coming home , belle . trust me on that . philip : bo , maybe we should n't have this meeting right now -- bo : no , this is important . victor would want us to put a stop to this concert hall nonsense . brady : sorry you feel that way , bo , but granddad wanted this concert hall to be built . do n't you want to honor your father 's wishes ? it 's your last chance to keep victor 's sons and grandsons on the same side , just like granddad wanted . [ scene_break ] jan : that should do it . if only i had this audio - splicing technology when i was growing up . i could have pulled some wicked stunts on my mother . shawn - d 's voice : hey , dad , mom , it 's me . sorry i 've been out of touch . anyway , i just wanted to check in , but my cell phone died . i have n't seen the news or picked up a newspaper , but i finally did hear about marlena 's death . anyhow , i just wanted to say i love you both , and give my love to zack . jan : oh , oops . shawn , gosh , did you forget to mention belle ? aw , she is going to be so devastated . shawn - d : [ sighs ] oh , i have to get out of here . i know exactly how to take care of jan spears . [ scene_break ] bo : brady , we already took a vote on this . you had no right to bring this up again just because it 's in your self - interest . gene : hello , everyone . bo : gene . gene : i could hear you all the way down the hall . now , let 's calm down , all of you . bo : you 're involved in this now ? gene : brady asked if i would moderate , and i 'm happy to do so in the interest of a family truce . now , what say we all step inside the office ? bo : what is she doing here ? this is a family meeting . brady : nicole is victor 's widow , bo . she has as much right to be here as we all do . ahem . all right . i called you all here because today is the final deadline for funding the isabella toscano black concert hall . now , i know what you all are thinking , i want this concert hall built because i want chloe to come back to salem , right ? wrong -- it 's more than that . i 'm asking you all to reconsider your votes and really think about what victor wanted . philip : he wanted to keep you away from nicole . brady : he wanted to honor his daughter isabella 's memory . bo : isabella would not want this silly concert hall . brady ... you did n't know your mother , and that 's a tragedy , but i knew her well , and as long as there are needy people out there in the world , she would want this money to go to charity . brady : the money can still go to charity , bo . victor 's fortune is not going to be tied up forever . besides , my -- my mom grew up in italy . she loved the arts . my grandfather never would have approved this if -- if it was n't what she wanted . this project meant a lot to him . it means a lot to me . [ scene_break ] brady : come on , people ! why ca n't we honor my grandfather 's memory and his daughter 's memory ? why ca n't we abide by his final wishes ? i do n't want a -- i do n't want a family divided . victor kiriakis would n't want that , either . now , please , i am asking you all to reconsider your votes and approve this concert hall . what do you say ? [ scene_break ] hope : i am so fed up with you , lockhart . just tell us what the damn code is . how do we break through the force field perimeter and gain access to the jungle ? patrick : i do n't know . i 'd have to look at it first , study it . abe : you know the answers , lockhart , only you 're not telling , and we 're going to get the truth out of you one way or the other . marlena : no , abe , no violence , please . patrick , if you know anything , you 've got to tell us what it is . patrick : i have nothing more to say . you might as well just go ahead and kill me . abe : well , that 's quite a bluff , lockhart . be careful of what you ask for . hope : could i see you outside ? [ scene_break ] hope : i want to talk to him alone . abe : no way . you 're not going to make out any differently . marlena : abe , you know what ? he and hope have been through a lot together . they -- they survive a plane crash . maybe he 'll feel that , uh , he can trust her and open up to her . worth a try . abe : i do n't like it . hope : i 'll be fine . marlena : and just in case , take that . [ door closes ] abe : i hope she knows what she 's doing . [ scene_break ] patrick : you 're joking , right ? abe sent you in to kill me ? you must 've drawn straws . you could 've picked a better weapon , though . unless you 're trying to make this as torturous as possible . hope : do n't be ridiculous . i 'm not gon na kill you . all right , patrick , i want some answers . [ scene_break ] caroline : thank you , victor . i 'm flattered . victor : and as you said , who knows , if i had stayed in salem , how different our lives would be today . caroline : do n't you see ? brady 's situation is not unlike ours on this island . separation from the people you love is very difficult . victor : how well i know . caroline : yes . you made that quite clear just before ... my death . you were so protective and very sincere . i was very grateful . victor : i always tried to be respectful of your relationship with shawn . i ... did n't want to upset you or your family . of course , i know i was n't always successful . caroline : when shawn came back from ireland visiting his sister and heard that we were spending time together ... i thought he was going to have a heart attack . it 's not as though we were having a torrid affair . we have a history together . we share a son , two grandsons . victor : i 'm very proud of bo and his family . caroline : i wish you could 've spent more time with bo . victor : so do i . well , i 'm grateful for the time i had . i enjoyed being a part of their lives . caroline : yes . victor : but i miss being a part of your life , caroline . you know , if there 's any way that i could go back and change things -- undo my mistakes -- i would . [ scene_break ] brady : before you all make a decision , i just want you to take your time and think about it , and understand that i would never spend my grandfather 's fortune on a concert hall , even if i had to make the decision all by myself . so whatever you may think granddad 's motive was , this is what he wanted to do . so just consider that , okay ? bo : fair enough . philip . bo : hold on , you guys . i 'm gon na call home and check the messages . belle : okay . shawn - d 's voice : hey , dad , mom , it 's me . sorry i 've been out of touch . anyway , i just wanted to check in , but my cell phone died . i have n't seen the news or picked up a newspaper , but i finally did hear about marlena 's death . anyhow , i just wanted to say i love you both . and give my love to zack . [ beep ] bo : hey , belle , um , you should hear this . it 's a message from shawn . belle : [ gasps ] oh , my -- oh , my god . [ scene_break ] nicole : ahem . gene : very nice speech . i do n't know if it 's gon na do any good , but at least you tried . brady : you know how much this concert hall meant to my grandfather . why wo n't my family approve the damn thing ? gene : you want to hear my honest opinion ? brady : absolutely . gene : the problem is nicole . i do n't mean to be cruel , but bo is right . as long as nicole is a part of this family , the only thing that bo , philip , belle , and everyone else is going to agree on is just to disagree . nicole : [ thinking ] which is why , brady , you and i are gon na end up rich , happy , and alone . [ scene_break ] jan : poor belle is never gon na know what hit her . jan : things are looking up , baby doll , especially now that belle 's out of the picture . aah ! [ coughs ] shawn ! shawn ! stop it ! i can not breathe . [ coughs ] [ scene_break ] belle : thanks . bo : yeah . philip : belle , what did shawn 's message say ? belle : it 's what he did n't say . he did n't explain where he is or why he has n't come home . he did n't know about his mom , but he knew about mine . he did n't say anything about me . he did n't even mention my name . philip : come here . bo : brady , i 'm outta here . i 'm sorry , but the only reason i think victor was planning on building that folly of a concert hall was to keep nicole away from you . brady : i disagree . bo : well , then we got a problem . gene . philip : hey . i 'm gon na take belle home . brady : um , your vote ? philip : uh , no , sorry , you 've have n't convinced me . as far as i 'm concerned , your little concert hall is on ice . permanently . you have a good day , though . gene : brady , you gave it your best . call me if you need me , all right ? brady : that 's it . it 's over . not only did my family vote down the concert hall , but chloe is never coming back to salem . nicole : brady , relax , okay ? your future is bright . you 're gon na go a long way . [ thinking ] and now that chloe is never coming back , i 'm gon na be right by your side , and no one will ever stop me . [ scene_break ] abe : i 'm gon na check out the perimeter on the west side of the city , and then i 'm gon na pay my ... brother - in - law count dimera a surprise visit . if tony tells me anything , i 'll be in touch . marlena : you think that tony and patrick might be working together ? abe : well , let 's face it , we do n't know anything , so we 've got to try everything . roman : all right , well , you just be careful out there , pard . [ scene_break ] caroline : we 've been through this before , victor , and we both know there is no turning back . after i was pregnant with bo , our lives took a different turn . victor : but i never stopped loving you , caroline . my love for you runs very deep . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . caroline : oh . it 's such a comfort , having you here . victor : i feel the same way . [ scene_break ] roman : i 'm gon na put a stop to this , doc . marlena : roman , roman , no . no , no . roman : victor is hitting on my mom . marlena : uh ... i do n't think you ' re right about that . i do n't see that he 's forcing himself on her . roman : what do you mean -- that she is -- marlena : i think she 's lonely . i think she 's very lonely . and it 's a well- known fact that they have a longstanding affection for each other , so what is the harm in an innocent kiss ? roman : well , it might be innocent on my mom 's side , but not his . marlena : roman , you do n't know that . look , they may never see their families again . is it wrong to take comfort from each other ? i mean , at the end of the day , in new salem , we are all we have . [ scene_break ] patrick : i understand why everyone 's so suspicious of me . but i would never harm a hair on jennifer 's head . i would 've sacrificed my life to stop that plane from taking off and bringing her here . you know that 's true . hope : then just tell us what you know . patrick : i 'm sorry , but i ca n't . hope : okay . all right , i 'm gon na let you go . but under one condition . patrick : what 's that ? hope : i 'm going with you . patrick : this sounds familiar . i do n't think so , hope . think of what you 've gotten yourself into . hope : you have a choice to make , all right ? either i go with you , or you stay . now , what 's it going to be ? [ scene_break ] john : sami , just calm down . sami : give me that . you took it because you wanted to punish her . i will never forgive you for this . [ scene_break ] marlena : it was like i was ... free - falling right into the belly of hell . abe : you were . [ scene_break ] jennifer : there 's finally a way out of here . jack : jen , freeze !	jan dresses up as a cheerleader for shawn . shawn tries to convince jan that he will always love belle . jan edits video and audio footage to make it appear that shawn is okay and has moved on from belle . shawn uses jan 's cheerleading whistle to choke her . bo gets the edited message from shawn and allows belle to listen to it . brady is even more determined to convince the rest of the family that the funds should go to build the concert hall when he hears that the deadline for building will expire at midnight . brady is against nicole 's desires to remove victor 's nameplate from his office door at titan . nicole agrees to help brady but for her own selfish motives . bo and philip are still against the concert hall , believing that neither victor nor isabella would want this project to happen .
chloe : why is brady taking such a long time to get back ? he 's been gone for over an hour . brady says he does n't care what i look like , that he loves me -- and even though i 'm grateful for that , i do care . i just hope that this dr. travis brady found can work miracles on my face . brady : did i just hear my name called ? chloe : wow , you look amazing . but why are you so dressed up ? is there another wedding that i do n't know about or maybe a last blast or coronation ? brady : chloe , your curiosity can only be satisfied by putting this on and coming with me . [ scene_break ] belle : i hope philip sleeps through the night without too much pain . these are the flowers that philip gave me when he left to go overseas . my mom had a flower like this in her bouquet . [ sighs ] i 've got to stop thinking about shawn . it 's totally disloyal to philip . and he 's the one who needs me . [ scene_break ] marlena : john , there 's something i have to tell you . it 's about the baby . [ telephone rings ] john : just let it ring . marlena : it might be belle or philip . john : yeah , you 're right . it is izzy . john : hey , izzy . belle : hey , dad , how you doing ? john : i could n't be better . after all , i 'm gon na be a father again . you probably called to talk to your mom . belle : well , actually , i called to talk to both of you . but is she still there ? john : yeah , she 's right here . um ... here . hold on a second . love you . belle : love you , too , dad . marlena : thanks . hi , sweetie . how 's philip ? belle : he 's asleep . marlena : he 's okay . he 's just sleeping . he 's sleeping . um , i 'm gon na take this on the balcony . excuse me , please . kate : are you all right ? marlena : uh , i 'm out on the balcony , hi . belle : i was calling to make sure everything was okay , but i guess you still have n't told dad yet about the baby . marlena : no , no , i have n't . i - i was just about to , and -- i 'm having a little bit of a hard time putting the words together . i ca n't bear the thought of hurting him so . belle : mom , he loves you . it 's gon na be all right , but you ca n't wait any longer . you have to tell dad that the baby you 're carrying is roman 's . [ scene_break ] bo : hey , how 's it going ? hope : tony sent this message . you know he 's expecting us to come look for him and your parents and your daughter . we got ta stay one step ahead of him , bo . but now that we 're working together , i think we can do it . bo : i think we can do it . jack : i hate to be a naysayer , but i would n't count on it . [ scene_break ] like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . [ scene_break ] belle : mom , you are still gon na tell him , right ? marlena : i am . of course i am . honey , kate and roman are still here . belle : oh , wow . do you need some moral support ? i can be there in a few minutes . marlena : no , thank you . i think i have to handle this on my own . belle : i think you 're being awfully hard on yourself . you and roman were held prisoner . you did n't know if tony was gon na let you go or if he was gon na let you live . i think it 's completely understandable that you two would turn to each other . marlena : but do you see ? if i had just told him in the beginning as soon as i came home , it would have been so much easier . now it -- now it kind of looks as though i 'm telling him because i got caught . oh ! oh , belle , take this lesson . you want to always , always be honest with your husband . belle : yeah , i 'll take your advice , mom . and call me if you need anything , okay ? i 'm here for you . marlena : i know . i know . thank you , honey . i love you . bye - bye . belle : bye , mom . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : belle . i overheard . i come up to this roof a lot . it just ... reminds me of us . belle : shawn , please do n't say anything , okay ? this is hard enough on my mom as it is . shawn d. : it 's hard on my uncle roman , too . belle : yes , it is . god , what is wrong with my family ? it 's like we 're cursed or something . every time i think everything 's gon na be okay again , i -- this baby could ruin my mom and dad 's marriage . [ scene_break ] john : so , was belle excited about having a baby in the family ? marlena : oh ... belle is incredibly supportive . i 'm feeling , uh ... a little tired . i 'd like to lie down . would it be all right if we went upstairs and had some time alone ? kate : we should really be going . take care of yourself . marlena : thanks . john : thank you both for coming by . could you see yourself out ? marlena : good night . kate : [ sighs ] roman ? roman , are we leaving ? roman : kate , i 'm sorry . i know you ca n't possibly understand this , but i 'm not going anywhere right now . john : tired ? marlena : mm ... john : look , if you want to wait until the morning to talk , it 's fine with me . marlena : we have to have this talk now . what i have to tell you ca n't wait one more day . the truth just ca n't wait one more minute . john : the truth about what ? [ scene_break ] chloe : wait a minute . why do you want me to get dressed up ? where do you want to take me ? brady : you have nothing to worry about . i put together an amazing outfit for you . chloe : brady , just because i saw a few friends does n't mean that i 'm ready to go to some big public event . is that what you have in mind ? brady : i guess i misunderstood . see , you did so well at the wedding party at chez rouge , i just -- it felt like your official coming out . chloe : oh ... well , after i 've had the surgery with dr. travis , you can take me anywhere you want . can you just be patient with me until then ? brady : me , patient ? all right , fine . but we still do have a problem . chloe : what is it ? brady : well , chloe , i bought this dress for you , and i would really love it if you would put it on for me . will you ... just for me ? chloe : [ chuckles ] yeah , only because it makes you happy because -- let 's be completely clear here -- i 'm really not going anywhere . brady : okay , fine , deal , just got the message . chloe , as long as i have this , i do n't have to take you anywhere .

[ scene_break ] shawn d. : your mom and dad love each other too much to let this ruin their marriage . belle : my mom is carrying roman 's child . how is my dad gon na get over that ? shawn d. : all i know is that when my parents found out j.t . was n't their biological son , that did n't matter . we could n't help but love him . belle : shawn , this is totally different . this is like history repeating itself . i mean , you know what happened when i was born . i broke up my mom and roman 's marriage because he found out she 'd had an affair with my dad . shawn d. : okay , what 's happened here between your mom and my uncle roman -- it 's not like an affair . it 's like they were stranded on a desert island , and they did n't know that they were going to be rescued . it 's only natural that they turn to each other , especially after the history they 've had with one another . they were married , they 've had kids , and they always were close , even after the divorce . belle : and that 's exactly the part that i think my dad 's gon na have a hard time with . there was all this leftover jealousy , even though so many years have gone by . my mom and dad could get a divorce , just like my mom and roman did . and sami always blamed me for breaking up her parents . she was right . shawn d. : you were a baby . belle : i just want to protect my parents . shawn d. : you are doing everything you can for them . belle : well , it 's not enough . i 'm just so afraid for them . shawn d. : it 's gon na be all right . belle : i ca n't . i ca n't do this . shawn d. : we did n't plan that . it 's what your heart wants . that 's what we both want . we love each other , and we want to be together . belle : i am philip 's wife , and this ca n't keep happening . if i did n't understand before the importance of honoring my vows , i definitely do now . i mean , look at what 's happening to my family . shawn d. : i 've been thinking about that . and you 're right . i think you should stay with philip .

[ groans ] hope : theresa . abe : you okay ? theresa : um ... look , brady 's with john , and he 's a total mess . he 's really worried . hope : how about you ? theresa : well , of course i 'm worried . look , we all are . hope : i meant how are you holding up ? abe filled me in on what happened . abe : we were hoping you could tell us your story again . theresa : it 's not a story , okay ? it 's what happened . abe : okay . okay . theresa : i told you , okay ? john was attacking brady . and brady -- he was just defending himself as best as he could . i mean , end of story . hope : he hit john with the fireplace poker ? theresa : yes . abe : yeah , about that ... we -- we lifted two sets of prints off that poker . now we know who they belong to . one set of prints belong to brady . there 's no surprise there . hope : but the other print -- that belonged to victor . theresa : well , for god sakes , it 's his house . i mean , his prints are all over everything . that makes perfect sense . hope : well , in a way . theresa : sorry ? abe : the print we lifted off of the poker was a single print ... just a partial . hope : yeah ... theresa : okay . hope : which leads us to believe that someone deliberately wiped the poker clean . abe : and that does n't jibe with what you told us last night . daniel : i wish i could give you something to hang on to . we 're running more tests , trying to determine what 's going on with john 's coma . probably the best thing for you to do is get some rest and -- brady : no , i - i ... i just want to know what 's going on . i want to know what happened . daniel : yeah . okay , well , i 'll check back later and see what i can find . brady : thanks , man . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] i do n't understand . i never wanted this . how could i do this ? maybe that 's ... maybe that 's why i do n't remember because i 've turned into ... someone who could do this to their own father . theresa : for god sakes , what are you saying , that i wiped the poker clean ? abe : no , we 're just trying -- theresa : but somehow i left brady 's print on it , yeah ? hope : theresa , we need to -- theresa : i mean , for god sakes , have n't you guys ever heard of maids ? i mean , the place is a mansion . it 's got servants crawling out of the woodwork . they 're cleaning everything every day . abe : no , we -- look , we understand that , and it 's very possible that the poker was wiped down before the fight . hope : it 's just a little odd , that 's all . abe : and then there 's the position of the bodies . they could not have possibly been on the floor in exactly -- theresa : i mean , seriously , mr . carver , you really need to start writing things down , and then , hey , my aunt hope here -- she could be , like , your sidekick . hope : theresa . theresa : i mean ... [ scoffs ] i already told you i was just going to see if they were all right . hope : so naturally she moved them , abe . theresa : yes . i mean , since when did caring whether someone was dead or alive turn into a crime ? abe : no one 's saying that , theresa . hope : theresa , what 's confusing here is that you can only move them so much . abe : brady would 've had to have swung that poker with tremendous force . but the damage that john suffered just is n't possible if brady was standing that close . hope : that 's right . theresa : [ groans ] hope : so the bodies must have been moved quite a distance for them -- aiden : sorry if i 'm interrupting . hope : what are you doing here ? aiden : i got a call from -- theresa : from me . yeah . i hired him . eve : jenn , being rude like that does not accomplish anything . jennifer : are you kidding me right now ? did you really just walk into my house ? eve : well , i was just wondering if maybe we could just be a little bit more adult today . jennifer : oh , well , i 'm just wondering how long it will take for the police to get here . eve : oh , well , great . well , why do n't you call 'em ? let 's see how fast they can get here , and when they do get here , we 'll have your daughter brought up on assault and battery . jennifer : excuse me ? well , then they 'll have to charge you too , because from what i heard , she was provoked . and you gave as good as you got . and for your information , my daughter has been very stressed out lately . so , if you could just give her a break -- eve : oh , well , boo - hoo . that gives her a right to hit people ? i mean , you really need to be more reasonable , jenn . jennifer : no , you need to be reasonable , because i made you a deal -- 50 % of everything ... eve : what ? jennifer : and you did n't want it . you 're not satisfied because you want a fight . well , congratulations . you just got one . eve : [ scoffs ] when your baby is ready to explore the world , eve : you know , jenn , i do n't want a fight , and i get it . i - i know . you 're angry with me . jennifer : oh , really ? you think ? eve : yeah , and that 's why you 're not listening to what i 'm saying . and i know , apparently , you 're happy with the movie rights going to that so - called `` reputable `` producer . jennifer : right , because he is going to protect jack 's material . eve : well , he might . but there are other producers out there that would do exactly the same and -- and pay more for the privilege . jennifer : oh , i see . eve : why do you want to dump jack 's book for a penance ? you know that he cared about the veterans . that 's all he cared about . jennifer : do n't you pretend you know what jack would 've wanted . you want your hands on more money , and that 's -- eve : okay , you know what ? you 're right . i do want what 's coming to me , but i 'm also look -- jenn , i 'm also looking out for your son and my daughter . jennifer : excuse me ? eve : right . i mean , do you really want them going at each other just because we 're having a little squabble ? jennifer : oh , my goodness . you are going to use our children as a pawn to get what you want ? get out of my house ... eve : what ? jennifer : right now . eve : jenn ! jennifer : get out of my house ! eve : stop manhandling me . jennifer : i made you a deal . eve : i just thought that we could talk about this . you 're not being very ladylike . jennifer : and guess what . you 're not getting a penny or a cent . eve : what , jenn ? jennifer : get out of my house ! eve : jenn , stop it ! jenn , you 're being unreason -- oh , you locked it ! you bitch . [ keys clacking ] nicole : [ sighs ] [ line trilling ] daniel : hello . nicole : hi . it 's me . are you at the hospital ? daniel : yeah , i 'm busy . nicole : got ya . um ... i was hoping we could meet later . coffee , maybe ? daniel : okay , look , things are crazy here . i 'm sure you know why . nicole : people dropping like flies because of this heat ? daniel : you have n't checked the news lately ? nicole : yeah . sami brady is taking over dimera enterprises . i just ate . thanks . but i can still have coffee . you think ? daniel : no . no , here 's what i think . you said you cared about eric . you did n't . you said our friendship really meant something . it did n't ... which means you are the same person you 've always been . the only one who matters is you . have your coffee alone . nicole : daniel , that 's not -- wait . i -- daniel ? [ knock at door ] hope : theresa , you thought you needed a lawyer ? theresa : no , it 's for brady . with all this talk about fingerprints and moving bodies , you guys are clearly trying to build a case , after i told you that it was self - defense . hey , just so you know , i tried to hire brady 's cousin justin kiriakis , but he 's , like , in dubai or something . aiden : understood . theresa : but you came up really quickly . you seem to be on everybody 's short list . aiden : that 's good to know . theresa : i just want to make sure that i 'm protecting my husband 's interests , that 's all . aiden : of course . hope : wait a minute . your husband ? brady : what 's going on ? theresa : oh , good . you 're here . say hello to aiden jennings . he 'll do the talking from now on . hope : brady , we 're just trying to put things together , make sense of what happened -- theresa : they 're trying to make sure that you get arrested . brady : no , no , no . hold it . hold it . hold it . hold it . i do n't want a lawyer . i do n't need a lawyer . if you have any questions , i will answer them . this whole thing is my fault . theresa : brady -- brady : i 'm not running away from this . stop . i 'm guilty . theresa : look , brady , do n't say stuff like that . it 's not -- it 's not true . aiden : whatever the situation , never a good idea talking to the police without a lawyer . brady : hey , thank you . listen , i 'm good . thanks for coming . i do n't need you . aiden : your call . abe : look , why do n't we all have a seat over here ? brady : yeah . theresa : hey , um , listen , thank you for coming . i really appreciate it , and , um , just do n't -- do n't turn your cell phone off , okay ? aiden : i have some other clients to see in the hospital , so i - i wo n't be far , okay ? theresa : thanks . aiden : all right . brady : seriously , i - i want this cleared up as much as you do , so ask away . theresa : no , brady -- hope : wait . theresa , excuse me . it 's best we talked to brady alone . why do n't you go wait over there ? theresa : but i -- no , i just -- i 'm the only witness , remember ? i mean , i do n't want you to just sit here and put words into brady 's mouth . brady : listen ! hey ! stop . i 'm good . go to the waiting room , okay ? please . theresa : [ scoffs ] brady : all right , so listen ... listen , i want to help . i do n't remember anything . my memory is a blank . abe : look ... from the get - go , theresa is saying you acted in self - defense . now , she repeated that this morning . hope : brady , you 're not saying anything . does that mean you have your doubts and that theresa has it wrong ? brady : yeah . theresa : do n't do anything stupid , brady , okay ? you -- you did n't do anything wrong . eve : who did n't do anything wrong ? theresa : what the hell are you doing here , eve ? eve : well , i had an appointment , you know , about my throat surgery , but the doctor 's in chicago , and , of course , nobody called to even tell me about it . i 'll just add that to my peachy encounter with jenn this morning . of course , your warm , little greeting here 's just the perfect start to a perfect ... theresa : [ groans ] eve : day . what -- do n't get any coffee on your tacky dress . honey , hey . hey . what 's going on ? look at me . what 's wrong ? you 're pale . you 've got dark circles under your eyes . theresa : you know what ? i 've been here all night , eve , okay ? eve : oh , my god . what have you done now ? eric : do you have a minute ? nicole : i , uh ... sure . come on in . so what do you want ? eric : i need to ask a favor . nicole : okay . eric : it 's about sami . nicole : oh , my favorite subject . that sami 's taken over dimera enterprises -- is that it ? eric : yes and no . you 're gon na hear a lot of negative comments about her . you probably already have . nicole : oh , we are talking about sami . eric : well , the thing is , it could start to snowball -- everyone piling on . what i 'm asking is , is that you do n't make it worse . nicole : sorry ? eric : you have news to report , and i get that . i just ... i just want you to show some restraint . i know you two do n't care for each other , but she has children . nicole : right . eric : i take it as a ... nicole : as what ? eric : as a personal favor . nicole : yeah , okay . you know i 'd do anything for you . eric : thank you . nicole : you look tired . you want to sit ? eric : no , i 'm gon na get going . nicole : eric , wait . please . vo : sadly , angela 's gotten used to the odor her cat leaves in the couch , eric : what ? what , nicole ? what ? nicole : well , you came all the way over here . so , i mean , why rush off ? eric : i asked a favor . you said yes , and i 'm done . nicole : well , maybe i 'm not . look , the fact that you came all the way over here , even if it was just for a favor , it 's something , at least it is to me . it 's kind of like a baby step . i can hope . one baby step here , one baby step there . eric : nicole , really ? nicole : seriously ... how many homilies did you give on hope ? and what , now it 's wrong ? it 's wrong to hope that maybe someday we could be friends again ? look , i know you 're tired of hearing it . but if one of us does n't push , then it 's never gon na happen . look , just this morning i was on the phone with daniel , saying , `` you know what ? maybe we should just get some coffee together . `` eric : did he say yes ? did he ? nicole : no , not in so many words . eric : i 'm sure it was one word ... `` no . `` jennifer : oh , my gosh . i was just calling you . aiden : hey , what 's going on ? what 's up ? jennifer : okay , do you remember when i said i was gon na sit down with eve one- on - one and try to hammer out a deal ? aiden : yeah , yeah . here , sit down . jennifer : okay , well , this is the deal . you are going to hammer her . she does not get one penny , not one cent , aiden . aiden : wow . sounds like someone 's ready for a fight . jennifer : oh , i 'm ready to fight if you 're ready . aiden : definitely am . like i said , when i looked at that annulment document , i felt i have a really good shot at getting it thrown out , but what happened ? what happened with eve ? jennifer : let 's just put it this way . there are some people that you can always count on to do the wrong thing . theresa : what the hell , eve ? i mean , why does everyone always assume that i 'm doing something wrong ? eve : well , it 's because it 's what you do . theresa : i 've had a really rough morning , okay ? and a hell of a night . and right now i 'm just really worried about my husband , who -- eve : oh , wait , wait . back it up here . hus -- husband ? theresa : yes , brady black , and he 's terrific , okay ? do n't -- do n't tell dad , please . eve : well , sorry , but i am your sort of sister , and that is kind of family news , right ? theresa : yeah , but just do n't say anything yet . please , eve , i -- look , it was last night . it was kind of an impulse thing , and i -- eve : oh , my god . do n't tell me . you put your husband in the hospital on his wedding night ? what , did you snag some old geezer and have so much sex ... theresa : oh , my god . eve : that you gave him a heart attack ? [ laughing ] is that what you did ? theresa : no , eve ! i just -- look , it was n't my husband , okay ? it was his father . there was this ... horrible fight . i mean , it was an accident , really . it was an accident , and -- eve : oh , my god . how many accidents do you have a month ? okay , i 'm gon na repeat this . what did you do ? theresa : [ crying ] seriously , eve ... [ sniffles ] i could just really use some support right now , maybe a little help . but you know what ? you always -- you always have to cut me down . just get the hell out of here , all right ? just -- no , just get out . i do n't want to -- no , get the hell out of here ! eve : come on , now . theresa : look , i did n't do anything . i ... [ sighs ] i did n't do anything wrong . that 's how it 's gon na stay . brady : i was drunk ... last night . i was deep down drunk . there 's no way to know what i wanted to do or what i meant to do . [ sighs ] no judgment whatsoever . hope : henderson said he could hear yelling , even from the servants ' rooms . abe : you know , maybe the two of you were mixing it up ... and it was n't necessarily self - defense . brady : [ stammers ] look , i know that 's what theresa said . i just -- i do n't know if it was self - defense or -- hope : brady ... you married theresa last night , but you 're not wearing your wedding ring . abe : you think you and john were fighting about theresa ? brady : maybe . hope : daniel ... any word ? brady : just -- just say it . daniel : well , your father 's physical condition has been upgraded from critical to stable . brady : oh , thank god . daniel : but he has slipped deeper into a coma . brady : i do n't -- '' deeper `` ? i do n't understand . daniel : if it were a medically induced coma , essentially , the doctors are in control , and we could bring him back at any moment . but this is different , and john ... well , john has gone deeper , and , uh ... brady : and you ca n't bring him back ? daniel : we are not in control . brady : what are you -- what are you saying ? daniel : we do n't know if he 'll ever wake up . eric : it 's written in your eyes , nicole . daniel said , `` no . `` nicole : and what , that makes you happy ? you get to kick me one more time ? eric : you know me better than that . and i think it 's time that you faced the truth . you lied to daniel . he trusted you to do the right thing , and you used him . and now you think you can just casually say , `` hey , let 's go grab some coffee , `` and all is forgiven ? it does n't work that way . nicole : fine ! i get it ! i was an idiot . and how dare i ask for forgiveness ? my life is a disaster on two feet , and it should stay that way forever because i 'm worthless , right ? right ? daniel : brady , i want to stay positive . i really do . but as of now , it 's really up to john . his brain needs time to heal . look , it 's like a computer . it shuts down to save energy . it goes into safe mode . and the brain can heal . and if it does , we 're going somewhere . if not .. brady : if not -- i - i got it . if we 're done -- abe : yeah , sure . go see your dad . brady : thanks , man . daniel : yeah , hang in there . okay , fyi , i 'm handing john 's case off to the staff . hope : you got him through the surgery . daniel : i did . he just needs long - term care right now . abe : yeah , thanks for everything , man . daniel : no , no , you bet . it 's -- you know , it 's been a long night , so i 'm gon na swing by the pub and get something to eat , okay ? maxine : and then you 'll go home and get some rest , right ? daniel : uh , no . i will come back here and do my rounds . hope : take care . daniel : all right , i 'll see you later . hope : bye . i 'll make some notes . abe : yeah . right . yeah , things are pretty vague , but , hey ... hope : hey , listen , when brady said -- theresa : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] i ca n't stand this . i -- daniel : [ sighs ] eve : daniel ? [ laughs ] i did n't know that you were gon na be here . wow . hope : you 're back . i thought brady said he did n't need a lawyer . aiden : well , i have a few other clients to see here in the hospital today . hope : oh . aiden : yeah . so my , uh , message box has been filled with compliments about the -- the gala . hope : yeah , uh , mine too . aiden : it was a very good night for us ... and for the gala . theresa : ugh , for pete 's sake , do i get a rest ? abe : i am just trying to get a handle on what 's going on . this is not a witch- hunt . theresa : oh , well , you could 've fooled me . i mean , what , do you think i 'm just making this up ? look , i know what i saw . brady was just defending himself . aiden : okay , folks , i 'm going to insist that if there are any more questions that they be asked in a formal setting in my presence , okay ? theresa : thank you . abe : yeah . theresa : now , uh , w - where 's brady now ? hope : theresa , i am sure no one meant to make you feel uncomfortable . abe : brady 's in with his dad . theresa : well , then that 's where i should be , with my husband . mr. jennings ? thank you . i mean , they know i 'm just way too upset . i ca n't -- i ca n't think straight . i mean , they 're trying to put words in my mouth . aiden : okay , look , they put a pin in it for now , but if you need me , call , okay ? theresa : thank you . aiden : yeah . john : [ groans ] theresa : [ breathes shakily ] brady ... how 's he doing ? brady : answer me a question first . theresa : okay . brady : i know what you said about what happened last night . but what i need to know is ... were you lying ? so , duke , what do you think of our new bush 's baked beans video game ? hope : theresa seems , uh ... pretty jumpy , huh ? abe : you know , there are really only three alternatives . `` a , `` she 's telling the truth . `` b , `` she 's lying to protect brady . hope : and trying to cover things up , making sure he ca n't be charged . abe : or `` c `` ... hope : she did it herself . well , that 's a stretch ... right ? abe : forensics is telling us that there 's nothing to contradict what she 's saying . the trouble is ... theresa 's the one saying it . hope : yeah . but , you know , i can see why she 's so jumpy , though . if she does anything , anything at all that breaks the terms of her probation , going back to l.a. means going to prison for her . abe : you know she 's not gon na change her story . so we just have to wait for brady or john to fill in the blanks . hope : only john is in a coma , and brady has no memory . theresa : `` lying `` ? [ scoffs ] seriously , brady ? i mean , you think i would lie about something like this ? brady : theresa , listen , yeah , yeah , i do . i think you would to protect me . so i need to know , were you lying ? tell me . theresa : no , brady , listen to me . okay , listen ... look , i swear you did n't do anything wrong , okay ? john was ... he was attacking you , and i saw it . and you were just defending yourself . i mean , look , come on , i know that you feel bad about what happened , but no one 's going to blame you for doing what you had to do , okay ? you understand that , right ? brady : you know what i need ? theresa : yeah , you need some rest . brady : no , what i need -- i need a meeting . i need a meeting . marlena should be back in a little while , and it 's probably best i 'm not here when she gets here . theresa : a meeting ? brady : yeah , things , uh ... things need to change for me . theresa : okay . okay , look , i 'll just go with you . hope : uh ... it 's hard to know what to say to you ... i mean if you might be representing brady or theresa . aiden : well , if it becomes official , i 'll speak up . hope : uh , last night , um ... at the gala , the way i took off with ciara -- aiden : hey ... no problem . you know , we still have to get together , do a write- up about how the evening went , maybe make some suggestions for next year , but i can do that myself . hope : well , i can handle that ... on my own . maxine : brady 's a mess , ca n't remember a thing . and his dad -- honey , that man is in deep trouble . jennifer : daniel was the surgeon ? maxine : oh , yeah . otherwise , mr. black would n't even be alive . and guess what . he 's going over to the pub to get something to eat . then he 's coming back to make rounds . jennifer : i know . he drives himself too hard . maxine : it 's probably because he 's lonely . eve : so you sure it 's all right if i join you here ? daniel : ah , of course . eve : thank you . [ both chuckle ] eve : well , i mean , look at you . you 're looking a little tired there , my friend . daniel : yeah , well ... eve : did you have an early call ? daniel : no , no , no , more like an all - nighter , you know , an emergency . managed to save the patient . just a -- it 's a tough situation , though . yeah . what ? what is it ? eve : i hate to pry , but that emergency did n't have anything to do with my little sister , theresa , did it ? daniel : yeah , i ca n't really talk about the case . eve : okay , i get it . i get it . just , i ... i saw her earlier , and i do n't know . i just -- what can i say ? trouble just seems to follow that girl around . daniel : oh , yeah , i hear you . i hear you . eve : i mean , i know i 'm no saint , but theresa -- whoo - hoo - hoo - hoo - hoo . daddy asked me to check in on her , but i 'm telling you , that is one tough job . daniel : yeah , well , i 'm sure you 're doing the best you can . eric : i 'm not sure what i 'm supposed to say to that , nicole . after what you did ... nicole : after what i did ? what i did , i did because i loved you and you loved me , remember ? or did you forget about that ? okay , you know what ? i - i was weak ... too weak because i was afraid to lose you , so i lied . i lied , and i -- and i fought , and i did anything i could . what , now i 'm this horrible person , right , who 's not worth a minute of your time ? until you need a favor . aiden : i 'm sorry . hope : no , i 'm sorry . aiden : you know , i just assumed that -- hope : exactly . you ... because of this case , we probably should n't be having private meetings or actually , um ... anything else that could be misconstrued . aiden : okay . okay , i 'll do the post - gala stuff on my own , so ... hope : thank you . aiden : you 're welcome . i got to go . okay . brady : i 'm gon na hit that meeting alone . there 's lots of things i need to get a handle on . theresa : oh . okay . brady : we 'll , uh , we 'll talk about the marriage later . but i do n't want to be late for the meeting , so we 'll deal with that later . theresa : yeah , it 's no problem . i hope it helps . brady : it has to . it better ... 'cause i need to make some changes . theresa : hey , um ... about your dad , did they say -- brady : the doctors ran more tests , theresa . they said he 's in ... a deeper coma ... maybe permanent . [ door closes ] theresa : [ sighs ] permanent , okay . eve : oh , i am being a total , total downer . and i 'm so sorry . it 's the last thing that you need after a tough night . daniel : ah , no , no , no . eve : so tell me -- how is parker ? is he still with his mom ? daniel : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . but we 'll touch base tonight . eve : aw . you miss him a lot , do n't you ? daniel : oh , i do . eve : you know , i can remember the first time i had to go away out of town on business , and i left paige with a friend of mine . daniel : mm - hmm . eve : and i got this really vague email . `` sorry about paige 's hair . `` well , hell , i did n't know what that meant , and she 'd shut off her phone . so i just stewed , and i stewed , and i stewed , and i thought , `` i just ca n't take it anymore . `` so i got in the car , and i just drove all the way back home . and the whole time i 'm thinking , `` oh , my gosh , `` you know , `` maybe she got too close to the stove . oh , my gosh , it 's my fault . something 's bad happened to her . `` so i get there . i walk in only to find that paige had decided to wear her food on her head . daniel : [ laughing ] oh , no . eve : oh , yeah . and my friend -- she had shampooed her hair , and paige had all these little curls just all over her hair and going every which way . daniel : oh , my gosh . eve : of course , i felt like a total , total idiot . daniel : oh , no , no , no , no . eve : no , i was the idiot . daniel : every parent has that moment where their kid decides to just -- brrh -- dump everything on their hair . eve : you too ? parker ? daniel : oh , yeah . oh , my god , in spades . i got so many pictures . eve : oh , show me . show me , show me , show me . daniel : you want to see ? eve : yes , i 'd love to . daniel : oh , my god . wait till you see this kid . eve : okay , well , we 'll just have to see . we 'll have a battle here -- battle of the hairdos . daniel : all right , look at that , look at that . eve : oh , that 's great . daniel : right ? guess who had to clean it up . jennifer : [ sighs ] [ muffled laughter , indistinct conversation ] nicole : you come here , here , of all places , and you ask for a little favor , but god forbid should i ask you for one minute of your time . eric : what do you want ? nicole : you said you loved me . i do n't know -- maybe to treat me like a person . eric : and how did you treat me , like a person or a prize ? nicole : i loved you ! i did what i did because i loved you . eric : no , you loved the idea of love , but you did n't love me . i do n't know what it was , but it was n't love . nicole : you son of a bitch ,	eric asked nicole not to report what sami was going through . nicole agreed for eric , but she wanted to repair their relationship . eric did n't want to do it . eve ran into theresa at the hospital . theresa ended up telling eve that she got married . theresa was worried about what happened to john and wanted eve 's support . eve only wanted to know what trouble theresa got into so theresa did n't tell her . theresa wanted her to leave . hope and abe questioned brady about john . daniel told brady that john slipped into a coma .

[ exhales ] my focus has to be on ciara today . your sister deserves a happy , peaceful wedding , shawn , which means that she can not be worrying about what claire might be up to , what she might do . i 'm sorry . sorry . victor : you sure you 're feeling all right ? ciara : i promise . victor : and you really think claire is responsible for your being put in here ? ciara : [ exhales ] i really , really do n't wan na believe it , grandpa , but i mean , it 's been three times now that something has gone wrong while she 's been around , and i ca n't spend my entire wedding day afraid that she might do something else , grandpa . not after what ben and i did to get here . victor : you 're really headstrong , like all the women in our family . ciara : so that means you will respect my decision ? victor : yes , but i wo n't take sides in this dispute that you 're having with claire . i love you both . ciara : i love you , too , grandpa . so , i will be seeing you at the wedding , yes ? victor : [ exhales ] no . that 's why i came here , to tell you that i wo n't be attending the wedding . ciara : why not ? is -- is it because of me and claire , or is it because you still do n't approve of ben ? will : so the wedding is still on . ben : damn right it is . i 'm getting married today . will : that is great news . uh , i 'm so sorry i was such a hard ass about not letting you see ciara . ben : no , will , i 'm sorry . you 're doing your job as the best man . will : exactly .

[ sighs ] before we tell everyone ... i need to know if you 're sure about this . daniel : well , usually when a man puts a ring on a woman 's finger , he 's pretty sure . nicole : [ chuckles ] daniel : what , honey ? what are n't you saying here ? nicole : daniel , you believed in me when no one else would ... no matter how badly i screwed up . and i still do screw up all the time . i wake up in the morning . i 've made three mistakes before the coffee 's been made . daniel : nicole ... nicole : just listen , okay ? this is your out . i love you , and i just want what 's best for you , and if it 's not me , i do n't want you to do this . look , you were really worried that i was gon na die , and i 'm afraid that affected your judgment , you know ? and -- and maybe you wanted something that you really do n't . you know , and -- and life will -- it 'll finally get ... more quiet and normal , and then you 'll realize that ... so i just need you to think about it right now . are you absolutely sure you want to spend the rest of your life with me ? paul : now , you see , your uncle paul is gon na have to teach you the proper grip for a split - finger fastball . john : [ imitates whoosh ] paul : [ chuckles ] this kid is strong . john : looks that way . yeah . paul : brady left me with him , and i - i started to panic a little bit . but we 've been fine ever since . john : oh ... amazing stuff , right ? paul : it really is . john : just the fact that brady found out he had a son and then he got him back , kind of a miracle all the way around , right ? yeah , i know about that kind of miracle ... being a father and all . paul : what is it ? john : i just hope that someday you can experience the same thing , son . brady : do you think serena has another reason to stay in salem besides this -- this xander investigation ? eric : listen , i do n't know , and i do n't care ! i just want to forget about her , okay ? brady : dude , i know you want to forget about it , but she 's bad news . you ca n't ignore the fact that girl -- who knows what she 's capable of ? eric : listen , brady , forget it , okay ? just let it go ! just let it go . daniel : nicole ... look at me ... and listen very carefully . i do n't care what happened before this night . wait . that 's a lie . i do care about it . but all it does ... is make me love you more ... make me see how far we have come ... and feel so much gratitude for the honesty and the love that we have . nicole : [ sniffles ] daniel : it is everything ... to me . so , yes ... i am sure i want to marry you . nicole : [ chuckles ] daniel : i am very , very , very , very sure . nicole : [ laughs ] daniel : oh . kyle : hey , what 's going on ? jj : do you have the stuff ? kyle : you ever hear of foreplay , jj ? relax , man . what 's your rush ? jj : i - i just do n't know what else we need to waste time on , so ... kyle : turn around . jj : what ? kyle : turn around . jj : come on , are you serious , man ? kyle : yeah , man . jennifer : i did a terrible thing . maxine : sweetie , you do n't do terrible things , so i 'm not buying that . jennifer : well , you should , because you 're wrong about me . i hurt paige badly . and i would do anything to make it right with her . jj : satisfied ? kyle : mm - hmm . yeah , you ca n't ever be too careful .

[ laughter ] marlena : an astonishing athlete , yep . doug : just a crying shame that -- that he blew out his arm at such a tender age . marlena : well , not to go down the , um , `` gosh , if things had been different `` road , but the truth is that paul blowing out his arm , as you said , um ... really was a catalyst for him coming to salem , having surgery , and finding out that he had a father that lived here . julie : mm - hmm . marlena : it was good for both of them . me too . paul : [ whispering ] there you go . hey . [ sighs ] [ normal voice ] i 'd -- i 'd like very much to have kids someday , if i find the right person to , uh , marry and start a family with . john : yeah , i 'm sure you will . so what else has been going on with you ? paul : well , i do n't know if you 've heard , but , um ... i 've lined up some work with kate . john : mm , yeah , actually , i did hear that . so , uh , -- so how 's that working out ? paul : it 's , uh -- it can be challenging . john : yeah . paul : [ chuckles ] yeah , but i 'm dealing with her . john : yeah . i 'm sure you will . what else ? paul : well , i 'm trying to get back into shape . not competitive - sports shape , obviously . john : i think you 're doing pretty good . paul : oh , thanks . i played a pickup game of basketball with some friends . john : yeah , no kidding . with anybody i know ? paul : will and sonny . eric : let 's just talk about something else , huh ? like , you know ... how 's things going with theresa ? i mean , has she moved out of the mansion yet ? brady : no . no , eric , we had to postpone it because there 's a problem with the nanny . listen to me . i think you should talk to someone . eric : listen , if you mean a shrink , forget it . forget it . brady : all right , well , then talk to your brother . why do n't you talk to me ? you know , obviously i 'm concerned . eric , you need to talk to me about what really happened that night when you and nicole were trapped and you almost died ... because i think something else happened , something that i do n't know about . i do n't know whether it was with xander or nicole or both or what . talk to me ! come on . what -- what has you so rattled ? nicole : you 're right . it 's all behind us . and whatever mistakes we make moving forward , we 'll fix those too . daniel : we will . nicole : yes . daniel : so we 're getting married . nicole : damn straight we are .

[ laughs ] oh , my god . [ sighs ] [ giggles ] [ knock at door ] nicole : you could n't stay away , could you ? [ laughs ] eric . eric : i called your office . they said you took the day off . nicole : half day . eric : i 'm sorry . i should n't have come . nicole : no , no , no , wait . i 'm glad you did . there 's something i need to tell you . daniel : what in the hell was serena doing at eric 's ? brady : i have no idea . i pressed eric after she left , and he was n't talking .

[ chuckles ] paige : do n't get me wrong . i do n't care even one little bit , but if i were you , i 'd be dead straight worried about jj and his new friend ... the drug dealer . kyle : do n't you remember , jj ? you told me to steer clear of paige larson or you would n't come work for me . and then you two get into some petty little fight , and suddenly you do n't give a damn if i start seeing her ? jj : what 's your point ? i really do n't like the way you 're looking at me . kyle : see , jj , i 'm getting the sense that you 're not being 100 % honest with me . so how about you cut the crap and come clean with me ? kayla : so i 'm on the bicentennial committee , and we are coming up with all sorts of events to commemorate the big day . hope : wow . this is great . kayla : yeah . hope : please let me know if there 's anything at all i can do to help . i 'd be happy to . it sounds like it 's gon na be a pretty great celebration .	daniel proposed to nicole . nicole accepted his proposal , but thought about kissing eric . nicole was n't sure if they should go public with their engagement . serena went to eric 's place to talk about what happened between nicole and him . eric jumped on the defensive and refused to tell her . jj went to roman and agent watts to talk about working with them . agent watts wanted jj to keep the truth from everybody . jj wanted his mother to know about it or he was n't helping . he did n't want her to think that he was really dealing again . paige considered going out with kyle . daphne reminded paige that he 's a dealer , but paige did n't care . daphne wondered if paige wanted jj to save her . agent watts agreed to let jj tell his mother the truth about what he was doing . roman wanted to know why jj changed his mind . jj thought about kyle talking to paige .

steve : okay , look ... you were right . i am the only one who 's coming at this with a little distance . now , victor and summer , they 're obvious suspects . but too obvious , i think . then there 's this chopin outfit in the middle . now , i thought that was just a shell corporation to try and lead us down a blind alley . but they 're real . so what are they doing in the middle ? this is n't a simple abduction . philip : it 'll get easier . chloe : what ? philip : seeing deimos with nicole . chloe : no , it 's not about nicole . it 's about seeing deimos at all . philip : hazard of a small town . we all run into people we 'd rather not . marlena : oh , hi . kate : hey . you sounded surprised when i called .

[ light instrumental music ] deimos : before i saw the real woman , the woman in front of me right now . nicole : i see your lips moving . that 's it . deimos : nicole , i am a different man , and i am gon na prove it to you . [ dramatic music ] ve always said that you want to protect your boys , but then you end up in situations where they have to turn away from you . you choose men that are going to hurt you , and then those relationships kate : i like complicated men . they 're attractive . marlena : i know they are . kate : that does n't mean i have a deep - seated need to see relationships fail . marlena : unless they always do seem to fail . kate : [ groans ] marlena : oh , we do n't have to do this . kate : no ! i -- no , i asked . marlena : okay . you do n't seem to like men that are simply complicated . [ chuckles ] they 're simply criminals .

[ scene_break ] philip : so , what did abe tell you ? morgan : just that they found my father 's jacket snagged on some wires down the river . philip : so they think that -- morgan : oh , they would n't come out and say it , but i know that 's what they 're all thinking , that he 's dead . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . philip : do n't be . morgan : i just -- i 've been at my wit 's end ever since reading those letters . i just wish i knew one way or the other . philip : i know . morgan : my mind keeps taking me to places that i do n't want to go . i keep picturing him under the water . philip : do n't do that to yourself . morgan : [ crying ] i ca n't help it . what if he 's laying on the river like -- philip : stop it . stop it . morgan : i know it 's what they 're all thinking . i can tell . philip : nothing is for sure yet . morgan : i mean , we 've always been so close , you know ? you would think i would know if he was alive or ... dead , but i do n't . it 's driving me absolutely crazy . philip : well , i can tell that he loved you very much . anyone could who 's seen the two of you together . morgan : yeah , he -- he did . he does . [ sniffles ] it 's always been my father and me , you know ? i mean -- i mean , my mom and i got along , but she just did n't really understand me . but my father and i , we 've been best friends as far back as i can remember . [ voice breaking ] i was always a daddy 's little girl , you know ? it sounds kind of funny in this day and age , but it 's true . philip : you 're lucky . morgan : i know i was . i am . he 'd do anything for me . i remember this one time , i was failing physics . and he talked the teacher into letting me do a project for extra credit , so we decided on a model volcano . he got all excited , and he went out and he bought all this modeling clay , boxes of baking soda , and what must have been , like , a gallon of vinegar . and we decided to try it out before i brought it into school . and the mess it made in the kitchen -- oh , my god . my mama could have strangled him . but he spent all weekend cleaning it up , and when i brought it into school on monday , i got an `` a. `` philip : he sounds like a terrific father . morgan : he is . which is why i know he would n't just up and leave if he was n't really scared of something or someone . philip : come here . morgan : us southern girls and our overprotective fathers , right ? [ sighs ] now all i want to do is protect him , but i may be too late . philip : do n't give up . morgan : i 'm trying not to . i pray this is just all a big misunderstanding and he 's trying to make his way back to me . [ scene_break ] kate : you know , sometimes , tony , you read too much into little things . tony : oh . do i ? kate : yeah . naturally , the idea of paul hollingsworth being murdered upsets me . any act of violence that would come close to my family upsets me , especially in this instance because philip has taken a special interest in paul 's daughter , and i think morgan is a very lovely girl . tony : i know . she interned for me . kate : i know that . i also know that she 's really devastated by the disappearance of her father , and i feel for her . tony : as do i. i 'm very fond of morgan . kate : so , naturally , i am upset . as a matter of fact , i think i 'm going to call philip and tell him what roman said . maybe he can soften the blow for morgan . [ scene_break ] john : i need a favor . tony : i 'm all ears . john : the advertising business that you bought has an in - house p.r . department , right ? tony : yes , it does . john : i have an associate by the name of paul hollingsworth who needs some help . it seems he 's been accused of some unfortunate wrongdoing . i would like you to spin it . tony : i wonder if dear uncle john had anything to do with this . ava : it 's my case ? e.j . : like i said , i just had a meeting with the , uh , district attorney 's office . ava : so , i take it they 're not letting me off with a slap on the wrist . john : i 'll leave you two in private . ava : no , no . do n't go . john : no , a meeting between attorney and client should be more secret than a confessional . if i stay , they could force me to testify about what i 've heard . ava : yeah , you 're right . i - i - i do n't know what i was thinking . my father taught me that before he taught me to tie my shoes . john : yes . i 'll be back when you 're finished . ava : thanks . e.j . , tell me everything . e.j . : [ clears throat ] look , these meetings with the d.a . , they 're pretty standard in any criminal case . basically , what you 're doing is while i 'm trying to have a little peek at your cards , you 're trying to have a little peek at my cards , and both of us try not to give anything away . on this occasion , though , it was a little different . the d.a . pretty much folded out the deck in front of me . ava : and ? e.j . : and they are extremely confident . ava : and what do you think ? e.j . : i think they hold all the cards . i think this is gon na be really tough . [ scene_break ] hope : it 's not just me . the whole department is involved in this case . my god , brady . we 're talking about drug smuggling , arson , maybe blackmail , definitely a disappearance , and a possible murder . you really think you can solve this on your own ? bo : i 'm working on some very strong possibilities . i do n't want to shed light on anyone till i 'm sure . hope : what exactly are we talking about here ? can you tell me that ? bo : if i told you , then i 'd have to tell abe and roman , and that 's what i 'm trying to avoid . hope : just stop , okay ? bo : i know you 're upset . hope : yes , i 'm upset ! i 'm your partner on and off the force . you 're supposed to tell me everything . bo : fancy face , you got to believe me . i have a very good reason for keeping you in the dark . hope : are you in danger ? [ scene_break ] kate : philip , it 's me . i 'm at the pub . i was just talking to roman . he may have evidence that proves that paul was murdered . philip : yes . yes , i 've heard that . kate : philip , what the hell 's going on ? philip : i 'm down at the station with morgan . i 'll talk to you later . kate : better sooner than later . [ scene_break ] tony : how 's philip ? kate : ugh . do n't do that . tony : mm . kate : philip is fine . why would n't he be fine ? it 's morgan that i 'm worried about . tony : well , would you give her a big hug for me if you see her ? kate : you 're leaving ? tony : yes , i 'm sorry . would you forgive me ? i 've got to cut our celebration short -- another meeting . kate : at this late hour ? tony : well , no rest for the wicked . kate : ah . tony , i hope you do realize that i do know that you are responsible for a lot of my success . tony : never forget it . oh , anna , why do i always get your voicemail ? listen , my love , i 've got to rush over to uncle john 's for a little errand . why do n't i catch up with you later at the pub ? okay , my love ? i miss you . bye - bye . [ scene_break ] roman : well , if he is down there , let 's hope he 's close to shore and he got snagged up in the weeds . if he drifted out into the main shipping channels , he could be 50 miles away by now , and we 'll never find him . abe : we 'll drag the river , keep the dive teams working until we do . morgan : you 're dragging the river for my father ? ! [ scene_break ] bo : no , i am not in any kind of danger . there are just some -- some things i got to take care of . i want to protect you from any future fallout . hope : fallout ? that sounds ominous . bo : would you just let me do what i got to do , let me protect you ? hope : i do n't need your protection . i need you to trust me . bo : well , that trust thing goes both ways . look , i know you do n't like this , but you got to trust that i 've got a very good reason for doing what i 'm doing . hope : where are you going ? wait . bo : well , there 's somebody i got to find . hope : who ? bo : would you stop with the questions for tonight , please ? hope : i 'm supposed to just accept that while you just walk out of here . bo : yeah . give me a kiss . trust me , will you ? [ door opens , closes ] hope : no . i do n't trust you . i ca n't . [ scene_break ] ava : all right , tell me everything , e.j . i do n't want you to hold back . e.j . : okay . unfortunately , the d.a . has such an overwhelming wealth of evidence against you that they pretty much feel they can charge you with whatever they want whenever they want to . i mean , they have n't even filed the kidnapping charges or the shooting with hope . ava : well , how nice of them . e.j . : according to the d.a . , those charges are chump charges when you compare them to what happened in ireland . it looks pretty likely they 're gon na move forward with the international portion of the trial first . it 's more complicated , but that 's the way they want to go . my suspicion is that they 're getting pressure from the federal government . ava : probably , right , because three people lost their lives . e.j . : it 's true . i mean , our defense against that , the only thing we can say is that you were not aware of the fact that you were acting under the influence of a pernicious drug . ava : yeah , but they 're gon na try and prove that it was n't the drugs , that it was willful and deliberate . e.j . : darling , that 's their job . ava : sabotage and murder . e.j . : that 's what you 're charged with . ava : and it 's what i 'm gon na be convicted of , is what you 're trying to tell me , right ? e.j . : what i 'm telling you is that they have an extremely strong case . ava : and i suppose it does n't make any difference that i did n't intend for anyone to die because in the eyes of the law , i might as well have just shot them in cold blood ? e.j . : look , ava , we are gon na do everything that we can , but ... ava : but they 've got me . man , e.j . , if -- if i could go back in time and change any of it , you -- you know i would .

[ scene_break ] tony : ah , good evening to you , uncle john . john : good evening , nephew . what an unexpected surprise . tony : a good one , i hope . john : what do you want ? [ scene_break ] morgan : all that stuff about not giving up hope , and you 've already given up on finding my father alive ? abe : that 's not true . morgan : then why are you dragging the river ? abe : morgan , we certainly hope to find your father alive . but since we found his jacket in the river , it 's just logical that we 'd search there . morgan : but it 's just so -- roman : morgan , morgan , i am very sorry . but whatever happened to your dad , it 's best to know the truth , is n't it ? morgan : yeah , i guess . just please find him , okay ? roman : we are doing our best . i promise . abe : bo , it 's good you 're here . bo : yeah , i just came to get an update . abe : i 'll be with you in a minute . bo : yeah , sure . morgan : my phone battery 's dead . is there a phone i can use ? i need to call my mother , let her know what 's going on . abe : oh , certainly . bo : so , you found her father 's jacket . roman : we 're dragging the river for his body . bo : think you 'll find him ? roman : yeah . yeah , i do . abe : let 's go check in with the dive teams .

[ clears throat ] anna : you know , that man will drive me to drink . i suppose i 'll just have to wait for him here . kate : suit yourself . anna : really , kate . ca n't you be civil for five minutes ? i mean , the last time i saw you , you were almost sweet . kate : you know , you 're right , anna . have a seat . have a drink . have five drinks if you want . there 's no reason in the world that two civilized women ca n't bear each other 's company for a few minutes . anna : well , i can if you can . kate : [ chuckles ] so , how 's the business , hmm ? anna : not so good . it folded . you know i 'm working with tony now . kate : yeah , that 's right . that 's right . i did hear something about that . [ clears throat ] anna : well , that bartender 's taking his time getting over here . kate : yeah , i know . they usually fall all over themselves trying to wait on me . anna : oh , did i tell you i spoke with carrie a little earlier ? did you hear ? she and austin are going to try starting a family . kate : good for them . anna : [ laughs ] me a grandmother . [ laughs ] there 's a shocker for you . kate : well , do n't worry . after the first one , believe me , it gets easier . anna : [ sighs ] you know , it 's funny because i would think that after everything i put carrie through that she 'd run screaming for the hills at the idea of motherhood . let 's hope she turns out to be a better mom than i did . you see , that 's when you could step in and say something to me like , `` oh , do n't worry , anna . do n't be silly . you were a great mom . `` kate : sorry . you do n't have to worry about me throwing stones at you , though . i mean , even though i did my best , i was n't exactly the best role model for my kids . anna : oh , come on now . even i have to say that 's nonsense . kate : is it ? [ scene_break ] hope : oh , damn it . straight to voicemail again . bo : after all your promises , it turns out you 're not only a liar , you 're a killer . philip : i am not . bo : and after all that , you have the nerve to hang on his daughter like that . philip : because i 'm trying to help her . what is wrong with you ? i already told you i did n't kill paul hollingsworth . bo : they 're dragging the river for his body right now . philip : not because of anything i did . yes , maybe i 'm guilty of threatening a man who tried to double - cross me , but that 's it . that 's as far as it went -- a threat . i am no killer . bo : you 're just like victor . sounds so very convincing . philip : because i 'm telling the truth . bo : i listened to the tape . you threatened to kill a man if he did n't obey you . philip : i lost my temper . bo : no . i listened to that tape very carefully . you did n't sound angry . you sounded like a kiriakis -- icy and in control . philip : you know what ? think what you want . there 's no proof i did a damn thing . bo : yeah , thanks to me . philip : i 'm not the one who gave that tape recorder to our father . that was all victor . bo : yeah , i 'm sure he destroyed it two minutes after i left the room . it 's always a mistake to listen to him . philip : not this time , bo . [ exhales deeply ] i know how much it cost you to do what you did , and i know you did n't do it for me . you did it for our father . you and i have just never been that close . bo : never had the chance . philip : no . we did n't . which is why what you did for me is all the more amazing . i 'll never forget it , bo . and i know there 's no way i can ever repay -- bo : you 're damn right there is n't ... especially if what i did let you get away with murder . [ scene_break ] ava : do you know what it is like to look back on your life and realize that you have made one mistake after the other , and all those mistakes have hurt people ? e.j . : i think we all go through that in time . ava : well , i 've done some terrible things . e.j . : look , ava , if we are going to get through this , you need to be strong . ava : `` if . `` why is n't that statement filling me with optimism ? e.j . : i 'm a good lawyer . ava : that 's why i hired you . e.j . : i do n't know of a lawyer in this country that could convince a jury to acquit you . ava : you do n't pull any punches , do you ? e.j . : why would i ? i would n't be doing you a favor if i did . look , two pilots are dead . these men were married . they both had children . shawn brady is dead . he was one of the most beloved members of this community . now , there is some good news . now , from what i can tell looking through this , there is no evidence at all that in any way ties you to the sabotage of the plane . ava : okay . e.j . : however , one of -- i forget his name -- one of your cousins , whoever it was you had sabotage the plane ... he 's gon na testify against you in return for immunity from the prosecution . ava : what ? when did this come about ? e.j . : i do n't know . i just got this stuff today . and then it gets more complicated . the irish government , they want to try it in ireland . that means interpol is gon na be involved . ava : so you 're saying i 'm gon na rot in an irish prison . e.j . : hey , please , let 's not -- let 's not -- remember , just let 's not get ahead of ourselves . it 's gon na make things extremely complicated . complicated is bad . but complicated can also be good . now , if we have a lot of different players in this game , we have an opportunity , i think , to be able to take them and begin to play them off against each other . it 's not gon na work for very long , but we can buy some time . we can definitely buy some months . we can possibly buy a few years . the first thing we need to focus on is making sure that you are not extradited to ireland . ava : yeah , absolutely . e.j . : okay . so , let 's just stay with that . once we 've dealt with that , we can deal with everything else . ava : fine . e.j . : there 's one more thing we need to talk about . look , if you do n't get the right judge , or you do n't get -- i do n't know -- a miracle ... ava , you 're gon na have to start thinking about making a deal .

[ both laugh ] i do n't know what i did , but i must have done something right . kate : oh , a lot of things right , i 'm sure . anna : now , come on , do n't tell me you 're sticking up for me at last . kate : i do n't know . i must have had too much to drink . you think ? anna : that 's better . [ laughs ] i really did do the best i could with carrie . and luckily it was n't enough to ruin her . i bet you were a tough , smart , take- no - prisoners , no - nonsense woman who would do anything for her kids . kate : well , if we 're really being honest , maybe i was too strong with them , always telling them to go after what they want and damn the consequences . anna : well , your kids are a handful , but they all turned out fine . kate : yeah . anna : okay , lucas did shoot e.j . and maybe you could have given him a little better set of problem - solving skills , but he still has time to learn . kate : yes , he does . 10 years , as a matter of fact , unless he gets off for good behavior . anna : well , look on the bright side . only one of your kids is in prison . [ scene_break ] tony : it 's fascinating . you know , i never thought it possible , but i think my father 's house suits you . even after all this time , it still has that slight aura of menace . john : once again , anthony , what is it you want ? i highly doubt this is a social visit . tony : oh , you know me -- salem 's number - one workaholic . i came to talk to you about one of my clients . john : and what client would that be ? tony : paul hollingsworth . [ scene_break ] philip : i am not a killer . our father knows that , and i think you know it , too . bo : whether you did it or not , victor would have done anything to protect you . philip : i know sometimes he goes a little far , but think of what he 's accomplished . bo : [ scoffs ] think of how he accomplished it . philip : what is that supposed to mean ? bo : he 's always acted as if the laws do n't apply to him . he 'll do anything to get what he wants . and as i see , like father like son . philip : you 're wrong about dad . he has a strict moral code , and there are limits to what he 'll do . bo : self - imposed limits . he does n't give a damn about the laws i work to uphold every day . philip : i 'm not gon na argue about our father 's past sins . he 's committed more than his fair share , but you got to know that he 'll do anything he can to protect his family . look at what he did for brady . bo : [ chuckles ] kidnapped his own grandson , locked him up in rehab . philip : for his own good . and what about you ? he brought in daniel jonas to save your life . and i ca n't tell you how many times he 's gone to bat for me . bo : yeah , especially recently . [ sighs ] philip : even when he 's in the hospital , sick in bed , what does he do ? bo : he plays the family card , convincing me to hand over the proof that you 're a killer . philip : if paul 's dead , i had nothing to do with it . and if you did n't believe that , you never would have handed that evidence over to victor . bo : he played on my loyalties . philip : bo , i understand . bo : i doubt it . philip : we 're brothers . bo : do n't you start that with me . that 's what got me in this mess in the first place . philip : it matters to you , though . you never would have risked your whole career otherwise . do you think i do n't appreciate that ? do you think i do n't know how much you 've risked for me ? you did something you believe is wrong for a good reason , bo . bo : you do n't get it , do you ? there is no good reason for destroying evidence . philip : you feel guilty . i get that . but what 's done is done . bo : that does n't mean i can let it go . [ scene_break ] ava : all right , e.j . what kind of a deal ? e.j . : there 's gon na be a strong likelihood of you going to prison . i 'd be doing you a disservice if i told you otherwise . ava : how many years ? e.j . : i do n't know . it depends on what kind of deal we make . my advice is that we think about making a deal as quickly as possible . the longer this drags on , the more time the judge has to spend on this , the more time the d.a . 's office spends on this , the more money it costs the state , the less amiable they 're gon na be . ava : great . oh , my god . i - i wish my father was alive because he would know how to fix this one . e.j . : sweetheart , your father could n't fix this . ava : oh , you did not know my father . e.j . : look , we both know some good people and some powerful people . so , whoever you have to talk to , talk to them . i 'll do the same , all right ? ava : okay . e.j . : i was gon na talk to john . ava : no , no , no . do n't talk to him . i will take care of this , all right ? i 'm gon na wait for you to come back to me and bring me some positive news . e.j . : okay . ava : thanks . um , can i just have a minute by myself to digest all this ? e.j . : of course . absolutely . ava : thanks , e.j . it 's not like i did n't know that this was coming . e.j . : okay . call me if you need me , all right ? ava : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] anna : [ laughing ] [ siren wailing in distance ] kate : thanks for this . anna : any time .

[ scene_break ] bo : i know you do n't like this , but you got to trust that i 've got a very good reason for doing what i 'm doing . hope : i want answers . bo : let me paint this picture for you . if it turns out hollingsworth is dead , i 'll be working night and day to find his killer . meanwhile , i am hiding the identity of the prime suspect . we who work in this building call that obstruction of justice . philip : how many times do -- bo : i know ! i know . you did n't kill him . but if it turns out you 're both a liar and a killer , i will not need that tape . i will confess what i did and turn you in , as well as myself . now get the hell out of here .

johnny : [ laughs ] yeah . rafe : [ growls ] ej : johnny , come on . why do n't you finish your yogurt , and then we can get out of here , okay ? sit down . well ... rafe : well . ej : i 'm sure you heard everything by now , so ... i give you one free shot . go ahead . you let me have it . sami : and i thought he was gon na love me ... forever . i mean , what else could go wrong , right ? we 'd already put each other through every hell imaginable . and of all the things that i thought could happen ... i just never , i just never , ever suspected that , that he would ... and when i got that picture , and i just saw that they show him and -- and abby ... it just felt like a bomb had gone off , you know . and i felt like i could n't hear anything outside of myself . all i could hear was my heart pounding and breaking . caroline : well , that 's what you need to feel , dear , if you want to get past this -- sami : if i want to die . no ! no , grandma , no way , no . so i -- i looked at that picture , and i made myself look at it again , and i just kept looking at it until it stopped hurting . until my heart stopped pounding . until it ... until my heart stopped . until i had a plan . this is the first time i 've cried since the whole nightmare started . caroline : that 's because you bottled it up . sami : grandma ... i was surviving . that 's what i do , right ? i survive . i pasted this happy bride smile on my face . the minute i found out the truth , it was just like everything became clear to me . i would look at ej looking at me . i could see how relieved he was that he had gotten away with it . and he would touch me , and i would swallow and force myself to pretend like i believed he still loved me . he would kiss me , and all i could see were his lips on abby 's . i just wanted to scream every time he was near me . caroline : well , that 's what you should have done . you had every right , sami . you should have screamed . kick him out , kick him out ! but not this ! sami : i will not let him go until i have made him pay . i wo n't do it . i am going to break him . i am going to destroy him the same way that he ... i want him broke as ... me . we had finally , finally gotten it right . we finally were a family , and he broke us . he broke us , grandma . caroline : oh , sweetheart . tortured , traumatized ... kayla : even the food was great . i mean , you know those kind of things . all you can hope for is edible . you guys picked the best caterer . aiden : well , that was all hope . kayla : well , you make a great team . hope : uh , i need to get to the station , so if you 'll excuse me -- aiden : you , uh , you got a minute ?

mom , you 're in the middle of a lawsuit , and obviously something just got worse . jennifer : i -- yeah , i met with eve this morning , and it is clear that we are not going to be able to settle anything . abigail : why ? what happened ? what -- what did she do now ? jennifer : oh , nothing . she just went back to her old playbook . she was hitting on daniel just to get to me . jj : wait . hitting on ? are -- are you sure ? jennifer : yes , i am sure , honey . sorry , but this is her m.o . jj : my god , that 's just -- that 's -- that 's wrong . abigail : so , what did daniel do ? jennifer : oh , honey , he has no idea what 's going on . abigail : oh , god . this is -- i 'm sorry , but this is just so out of bounds . and eve is not getting a dime of dad 's money . mom , you have to stop her . kate : rafe hernandez is dating jordan . clyde : before that , he dated you . kate : [ laughs ] well , how did you know that ? clyde : research . same as you did on me . kate : but you see , jordan gave me a reason to wonder . clyde : so did a woman showing up out of nowhere from salem . we 're not so different , you and i . we both look out for our own . kate : yeah . you know , i 'm not exactly sure what you 're implying . clyde : oh , i 'm not implying anything . but i get the feeling that you and i are on the same page as far as this rafe fella goes . he does n't belong with my little girl . rafe : yeah , i heard about your affair . shocking . but it 's none of my business . ej : when did that ever stop you ? come on , detective . there 's righteous moral indignation to be spouted here . you disappoint me . rafe : well , do n't get me wrong . i 'm glad sami kicked you to the curb . ej : oh , you 're mistaken . we share the same curb . rafe : really ? huh . well , you 're gon na wish you were in statesville if you try and share the same house with sami now . ej : i 'm not going anywhere . remember that , detective . i 'm staying here in town with samantha and my family . i will never leave them . caroline : that 's okay . it 's okay . sami : no , no , no ! what am i doing now ? no , grandma , stop it , okay ? i am not -- i am not weak . caroline : no , well , pain is n't weakness , you know ? sami : being a cliché , a joke , is weak , and he made the trusting little woman . caroline : i 'm -- i 'm sure ej never meant to do this . sami : he had his little twinkie naked in a shower two feet away from me . i 'm sorry to be graphic about this , grandma but i was there talking to him about business . and , yeah ... i talked to him about our problems . but it was us , you know . we 're a couple , and we were working through things . and -- and we loved each other , and the whole time , she was just there . she -- she was dripping with water -- naked in the shower . caroline : i 'm -- sami : and -- and that 's when i decided , you know , when i found out , i just decided , she was my friend , and i was going to bond with her , and i was going to tell her about how much ej and i love each other , and the whole time we were talking , i 'm sure she was imagining my fiancé naked with her . i 'm sure the two of them were just laughing their heads off the whole time . caroline : oh , no . sami , i 'm sure ... ej never laughed about it . sami : they made a fool out of me ! caroline : they embarrassed themselves . that 's what happened . and i -- i swear ej knew that the minute it happened . he messed up royally , and he knew it , and he knows it to this minute now . sami : why ? why do you feel bad for ej ? caroline : be -- [ sighs ] because i was ej . i cheated on grandpa shawn with victor . in one stupid moment , i risked everything that made my life worth living . sami : but grandpa stayed . you two never split up . caroline : no , we did n't . and i thank god for it , because if i had ruined what grandpa shawn and i were building , i mean the happy hours that we had together -- sami : oh , my god , grandma . are you suggesting that i should take ej back ? that i should give him another chance ? [ scoffs ] aiden : i do n't want to drive you away . it 's your hospital . this will just take a second . hope : and actually i still have some questions i need to ask you about john . i need to take notes , actually . kayla : sure , go ahead .

when you cheated on sami , and got involved with your little brother 's ex - girlfriend ? what were you thinking ? ej : i was just ... doing something impulsive that i regretted immediately . sami : then repeated it several times . come on , ej , you knew exactly what you were doing . you were having trouble with sami , and you knew that my daughter would feel vulnerable after everything that happened with chad . so you seduced her , because you knew it would be easy . and you did n't even give a damn about her in the end . as long as you were satisfied . you are a disgusting pig . kayla : hey , hey , wait up . look , did i say something wrong ? because i would never want to hurt your feelings . hope : no , kay , no , it was n't you , it 's not you . kayla : well , is there something wrong with aiden ? hope : no , there is n't . kayla : i mean i know how much he gets on your nerves -- hope : he does n't get -- [ sighs ] kayla : oh , no . hope , oh . jj : mr. jennings . hey , my mom is n't here right now . aiden : actually , i 'm here for you . the status report on your community service is due . jj : right . come on in . i just have my log hours right over here . aiden : great . whoa , someone 's been busy . jj : yeah , i just want to get my hours done before college starts if i can , so . aiden : oh , yeah ?

i came to the mansion to talk to you about what you and chad had done . and you thought that i was talking about you and abigail . you reeked of guilt then . you knew then that it was wrong . that it was not an accident . you are a rotten man . and i 'm just so grateful that my daughter sees that . i just wish that she had n't had to find out the hard way . ej : i wish that too . jennifer : [ chuckles ] really ? well , that means nothing to me . nothing . and sami was out of line the way she went after my daughter . but i would buy a ticket to watch what she 'll do to you .	sami admitted to caroline that she still loved ej even though she hates him . sami explained to caroline how she looked at the picture of ej and abby over and over until the pain went away . caroline wanted sami to let go of her need for revenge , but she refused to do it . clyde let kate know that he did research on her . he also told kate that rafe did n't belong with his little girl . rafe and ej ran into each other at the town square . they talked about ej 's affair and that he would n't leave sami . caroline tried to convince sami that ej was sorry . caroline reminded sami that she cheated on shawn . ej ran into jennifer . caroline continued to warn sami that she should n't give up on ej .
eric : i 'm telling you , serena knows something , or at least she thinks she 's onto something . nicole : about us in the crawl space ? that 's not possible . eric : i did n't think so either . nicole : she saw us together , but she did n't act suspicious about anything . eric : she said she ran into you after that . nicole : she did . i accused her of stalking me , and then we got in a big fight , but -- eric : yeah , but were you right about that ? was she following us ? nicole : well , even if she was , she did n't act like she overheard us talking about anything or what we were talking about . eric : the only thing she told me is she was tipped off by something that you said . nicole : what ? oh , my god , what -- what could i have said ? brady : if you think i 'm gon na stand here and chitchat with you , forget about it . serena : i heard you . you told daniel that you think eric did something wrong and that he 's troubled by something . but eric 's a good person . what could he have done ? paige : do n't get me wrong , i do n't care even one little bit . but if i were you , i 'd be dead straight worried about jj and his new friend , the drug dealer . jennifer : now , paige , if you mean rory -- paige : rory ? no . this guy makes rory look like an amateur . jj : dude , what -- what are you , paranoid ? paige and i are done . i 've told you that . i could n't care less what she does . now , you recruited me , and now you do n't trust me ? all right , forget it . i 've had enough of this crap . kyle : so i guess i 'll see you around . have a nice life . clyde : miss milbauer ? anne : oh , mr. weston . how nice to see you . clyde : well , thank you . it 's nice to see you too . in fact , i 've been looking for you . anne : mr. burns said you requested a tour of the hospital . clyde : well , the girl in your office said you were down here , and i hope it 's not a bad time , but you 're probably taking a well - deserved break . anne : oh , come on , i do n't mind hard work , mr. weston . and i would do just about anything for the hospital charity 's biggest donor . abigail : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] kayla : hi , doll . abigail : hi . kayla : how are you doing ? abigail : i 'm great . yeah , it 's aside from being pregnant and not knowing if the baby 's father is the man i love or the guy i despise . stefano : oh , i miss him terribly . [ chuckles ] and samantha does n't even want me to see my grandchildren . chad : do you blame her ? stefano : hey , come on . she 's obviously not in her right mind . she 's bereft without elvis . chad : right . yeah , she 's doing it out of grief , not because she remembers all the stuff that you did to her . stefano : listen , she and elvis fought like tigers , you know ? but in the end , ha ha , they could n't live without each other . in that way ... they were like you and abigail . brady : do you make it a practice to eavesdrop on people 's private conversations ? hmm ? serena : no . but i heard what you said , and because we both care about eric , and i 've noticed something 's been bothering him lately , and you noticed the same thing . brady : serena , maybe what 's bothering him is the fact that the guy who tried to kill him and nicole is still out there . you want to help my brother out ? why do n't you help by helping the police put xander behind bars , hmm ? serena : i told them everything i know . brady : yeah , i 'm sure you have . serena : i know you love your brother , and i know it 's hard to believe , but i do too . brady : oh , you know , serena , save it . we 're gon na get some things straight right now . nicole : no . no , we are okay . eric : and how do you know ? nicole : serena told you she heard me say something , which is not possible . i 've had my guard up with that bitch since i first laid eyes on her . eric : all right , then what did you two talk about ? nicole : well , after i told her what i think of her little diamond - smuggling operation with xander , i walked her through how i would ruin her career . that 's probably why she came to you . [ gasps ] she 's trying to get something on me . she 's fishing . eric : listen , just -- i hope that 's it . she seemed pretty sure about herself . nicole : ha . `` seemed . `` `` seemed `` being the operative word here , right ? she saw us together . she wanted you to believe that she knows something that she could n't possibly know . she wanted you to buy her act so that you would say something that would clue her in . oh , eric . you did n't do that , did you ? jennifer : how do you know what you just told me ? paige : i ca n't -- i ca n't say . i 'm really sorry . i just thought you should know . jennifer : yeah , that -- that my son is hanging out with a drug dealer . yes , his mother should know this ... as much as i wish it was n't true . paige : talk to jj , okay ? jennifer : oh , i 'm gon na talk to jj . but when you saw them together , what were they saying ? paige : no , i ca n't . it 's none of my business . okay ? jennifer : yeah . after everything that happened , you -- you told me this . you do n't know how much i appreciate that . jj : suit yourself . kyle : hey , deveraux . where do you think you 're going ? jj : i thought that -- kyle : sit down . come on , that was just me being careful . you get that , right ? jj : you know i used to do what you do , so how about you stop testing me and we get down to business ? kyle : all right . have you still got that list of your regular customers ? jj : yeah . so ? kyle : so maybe i can buy that list from you , and then maybe we can find some other opportunities to work on together . jj : maybe . kyle : i need you to do something for me . jj : like , when ? kyle : like , now . i 'm kind of booked up with appointments today . i want you to drop off something with my brother . jj : you got a brother ? kyle : yeah , i come from a very large family . you get my drift , right ? jj : all right , you did n't tell me i was gon na be an errand boy . kyle : no , you 're not an errand boy . consider this a favor , a mutual showing of good faith . jj : how so ? kyle : i 'm trusting you with merchandise , and you 're showing me you 're really ready to go back to work by delivering this now . my man . i 'll be in touch . clyde : you see , i 'm thinking of making another donation to the hospital . anne : yes , i heard a rumor about that . i hope you know how much your generosity is appreciated . clyde : well , that 's good to hear . but i do have some questions i need answered . anne : i will do my best . clyde : now , i had a personal interest in that other charity that i helped get off the ground ... anne : mm - hmm . clyde : 'cause , well , that was my daughter 's idea . anne : oh , yes , i know , and what a lovely person ... clyde : jordan . anne : jordan is . what a loss to the hospital , you know , and i assume that you 're worried about what 's happening with the fund now that she 's moved away . but i can assure you , mr. weston , i have gotten deeply involved , and the fund is doing wonderful things for a whole lot of needy people . clyde : i 'm so relieved to hear that . anne : yeah , i mean , i -- jordan 's partner on the project , abigail deveraux , not exactly the brightest bulb in the circuit , you know . clyde : before you go any further ... anne : yeah . clyde : it might interest you to know ... anne : tell me . clyde : that abigail deveraux is living with my son ... anne : mm - hmm . clyde : and someday may just be my daughter - in - law . abigail : aunt kayla , i 'm sorry . i - i did n't mean to snap at you . i know that you 're just trying to help . kayla : you know , baby , when you showed up at my office , it was -- it was obvious that you were blindsided by this pregnancy . and i think now that it 's sunken in that it 's really happening , you 're -- you 're angry . abigail : yeah , i 'm ... well , mostly at myself . kayla : well , you know what ? it 's a good thing you 're getting your feelings out , because you have a big decision to make and you need to know why you 're making it . abigail : well , if you think i 'm getting my life together , why do n't you check back with me when i find out if i 'm carrying chad 's baby ? kayla : and what if it 's ben 's baby ? are you gon na be happy with that ? chad : do n't do that . stop harping on abigail and me . i mean it . stefano : [ chuckles ] i was just speaking the truth . chad : here 's the truth . abigail hates my guts . stefano : you know , samantha felt the same way about elvis . okay ? that kind of passionate hatred , it 's often a cover for a whole other kind of passion . brady : if you 're telling yourself that eric 's having second thoughts about dumping you , then you 're even more delusional than i thought , because he hates you . serena : that does n't mean that i stopped caring about him . brady : serena , find someone else to care about and stay away from my brother . i think i made that perfectly clear back at the apartment , did n't i ? serena : oh , yeah , you did , perfectly clear . brady : but you 're not the kind of girl to give up easy , are ya ? serena : i 'm a journalist . that 's how we are . brady : what 's this i hear about you getting a job around here ? serena : it 's a grant , actually . brady : grant ? is it from the hospital ? 'cause i 'm actually on the board of directors here . and if you think i 'm not gon na step in and make sure you do n't get that grant , then you do n't know me very well . eric : nicole , i swear i did n't say anything that serena could latch on to . nicole : are you sure ? eric : yes , i 'm sure . she pumped me about that night , but i kept turning it back on her and xander ... and how they made that night happen . i did n't say anything about what happened between us . nicole : oh , eric . you are such a great guy . but when it comes to lying , you suck . it just does n't come out naturally , and i 'm sure serena knows that . eric : okay , wait . you were n't there . whatever serena thinks she 's onto , it did not come from me . nicole : well , it did n't come from me either , okay ? no matter what she told you . oh . she 's got to be bluffing . she wanted one of us to say something she could use . eric : well , that 's not going to happen . we 're gon na stick together -- nicole : what ? eric : your ring . nicole : yeah . eric : you and daniel are engaged ? nicole : yes . we are . i do n't know if you 've ever eric : you did n't say anything . nicole : i did n't know . daniel sprung it on me today . that 's -- that 's why i wanted you to stay , so i could tell you . eric : you 're happy about it ? nicole : eric ... you know i am . look , i know we came really close to making love that night , but we talked about this . it meant something different to me than it did to you . eric : i just -- i thought if we did n't die , then , you know , it could be a new beginning for us . nicole : i was terrified , and saying good - bye , it -- eric : i should have married you when i had the chance . nicole : it would n't have worked out . i 'm not your type . [ chuckles ] eric : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , i disagree . but i am happy for you and daniel . and i hope serena does n't ruin this for you . nicole : nothing is gon na ruin this . and if serena tries , i swear to god i will destroy that bitch . serena : i hate to disappoint you , but the hospital does n't have anything to do with the grant offer i got . it comes from the university , so there 's nothing you can do about it . brady : do n't be too sure . i 'm a kiriakis . there 's always something i can do . serena : i wish you would just believe that i still love eric and i want what 's best for him . brady : hmm . is that why you planted those diamonds on my brother and had him mule them out of africa for you , hmm ? serena : you know , even if that were true , then that would mean that i owe eric big - time . and if he 's troubled about something , which you said he was , then i 'm worried about him . brady : what makes you think the very thing that is troubling him is n't you , hmm ? serena : because like you said , he dumped me . he wants nothing to do with me . so whatever 's bothering him , it 's recent . it 's somebody else 's doing . anne : um , you know , i - i was not -- i 'm sorry . i was not trying to say that abigail deveraux was stupid . you know , i think she 's just young and inexperienced . in fact , since i 've taken over the fund - raising and the distribution of the funds , she has been like a right arm to me , you know , very capable . clyde : so glad you feel that way . anne : yeah . okay , so , well , did you want to take that tour now ? clyde : i have got a few questions first . anne : ask away . clyde : you know , i 'm thinking about turning my attention to a different department here at the hospital . anne : oh . clyde : prenatal care . abigail : of course i 'd be happy if the baby is ben 's . how could you even say that ? kayla : i just want you to be honest with me . but more importantly , i want you to be honest with yourself . abigail : i do n't know what you mean . kayla : it 's just that when you talk about chad , i just sense something , and i -- abigail : what ? what ? what exactly are you sensing ? are you sensing how much i hate him or how much i despise him ? i mean , are -- are you -- maybe are you sensing how much it would ruin my life if he is the father of my baby ? kayla : what i sense is that your feelings for chad are unresolved . chad : it 's too late to play cupid . abigail 's living with another guy . stefano : and samantha was married to rafael hernandez . you know , she and elvis caused each other so much pain , and by the time that they finally accepted it ... [ laughs ] that they were meant for each other , you understand ? their time ran out . is that what you want for yourself , huh ? huh ? and abigail , hmm ? jj : agent watts , please . hey , i just got back from seeing kyle . he had me deliver a package to a guy he said was his brother , and that guy gave me an envelope . it 's drug money . what do i do with it ? okay , so i 'm gon na give the package to kyle like i 'm supposed to . but you and i have to meet , 'cause you need to tell me what to do next . okay , good . mom ? jennifer : jj , what have you gotten yourself into now ? eric : i get a little worried when you start talking about destroying someone . nicole : i know how to handle serena , okay . but you and i are the only two people who know what we did -- almost did . and we 're not gon na say anything to anyone , right ? eric : right . nicole : things will be fine . [ chuckles ] eric : i hope so ... because the person who has the most to lose is you . i care about you , and i always will . congratulations . nicole : thank you . okay , serena ... you 're next . anne : prenatal care . clyde : right . anne : oh , it 's interesting . clyde : my late wife , god rest her soul , she was carrying a child when she passed . anne : oh . clyde : our son died with her . anne : oh , and there were complications during pregnancy ... clyde : oh , no , no , no . anne : that caused her death . clyde : no , she was a passenger in a pickup truck , and the driver lost control of the vehicle , and it smashed into a tree . anne : i 'm so sorry . you know , i 'm -- i 'm still not quite making the connection to the prenatal care . clyde : well , you see , she was on her way ... anne : mm - hmm . clyde : to get one of those tests that you give women who want to know if the baby 's okay . anne : oh , yeah . clyde : but for some reason , they made her wait until she was far enough along so it was safe for the baby . anne : oh , yeah , it must have been and amniocentesis . clyde : i do n't know . it was n't really important to me back then , but she really wanted that test , you know ... anne : yeah . clyde : to make sure that the baby was healthy . so i was thinking that maybe i could honor her memory by donating money so women who ca n't afford those tests could get them . anne : that 's lovely , really , and very generous . clyde : i 'd like to see that department when you show me around . anne : absolutely . we can , in fact , go on the tour right now . clyde : great . anne : yeah ? clyde : yeah . anne : okay , great . mr. weston . clyde : mm - hmm . chad : i 'd be a little more choked up by your concern about abigail and me missing out on our true happiness if i did n't really know it was about you and what you 're missing out on . yeah ? the property that abigail stands to inherit . stefano : you 're wrong , son . it is about wanting you to be with the woman that you love . and i will do everything , everything to help you make that happen . kayla : you know , you are my only concern . and i know this pregnancy was a shock . and i also know that you are going through a really difficult time . abigail : yes . yes , i am . you could say that . kayla : that 's why i said i want you to be honest with your feelings . abigail : i am . kayla : when we do this paternity test , i just want you to be prepared that you may not get the results that you 're looking for . abigail : well , i -- i 'm gon na find out the truth , and then maybe i can wake up from this nightmare . [ cell phone rings ] paige : hi . i guess you got my text . kyle : how about we meet for coffee ? we could hang out , see where it goes . paige : coffee ? kyle : yeah , club tbd . paige : sounds good . i 'll see you soon , kyle . bev : what kind of game are you playing ? jennifer : i see you putting that envelope in your backpack . i also heard a rumor that you have a new friend . a drug dealer ? jj , really ? jj : i can explain everything to you , mom . i was planning to do it anyway . jennifer : okay , well , you better start explaining . and while you are at it , make it the truth . jj : can we sit down to do this ? jennifer : [ sighs ] jj : i was approached by an agent from the dea . jennifer : as a suspect ? jj : no . they want me to work for them . jennifer : they -- what -- what do they want you to do ? jj : they said that with my history , reputation , whatever , that i can go undercover for them . jennifer : and so this new friend of yours ? jj : it 's their idea , not mine . jennifer : right , the drug dealer . jj : they want to stop the flow of hard drugs into salem , mom . jennifer : `` hard drugs `` ? are you kidding me ? you are barely 20 years old , jj . jj : they said that 's what makes me effective . jennifer : who is `` they `` ? tell me who `` they `` is . jj : a guy named agent watts and roman . jennifer : roman is in on this ? jj : yes , mom , but the rest of salem pd is n't , and they are n't going to . you ca n't tell hope . they were n't crazy about me telling you . jennifer : yes , that 's why they call it `` going undercover , `` because mothers never know as a rule . jj : mom , i said that i already put you through enough to make you think that i was getting back into drug dealing . i could n't stand it if you thought that i 'd let you down again . jennifer : honey , okay . i - i am grateful that you insisted on being honest with me . i love you for that . and -- and i am so proud of you , and i realize how important this is , but what if something happens to you ? that scares me . that scares me so much . frustrated with your overactive bladder medicine not working ? clyde : well , thank you for that tour , miss milbauer . anne : oh , please call me anne . clyde : all right , anne . i was so impressed with that lab . you know , all those tests they can do now to find out if a baby is healthy even before it 's born is just amazing to me . anne : it is . clyde : the guy who runs that whole thing ... anne : martin . he 's the best . clyde : martin 's his name ? anne : yeah , right . every doctor in this hospital knows that his findings can be trusted . clyde : well , i tell you , he must be one smart fella . anne : yeah . clyde : listen , i 'll be in touch with you . anne : well , i 'm looking forward to that . clyde : okay . anne : okay . clyde : well , fancy meeting you here . abigail : mr. weston , hi . what are you doing here ? clyde : well , actually , i was looking for you . jj : mom ... do n't be scared , okay ? they 're gon na give me training so i know how to handle myself . and i 've already approached that guy . jennifer : wait , you 've already been doing this without any training ? jj : the dealer is smart , and he 's careful . i do n't think he 'll ever trust me enough to let me get that close to him . jennifer : is that the goal , jj ? jj : i want to do this . i have to do this . jennifer : i understand , but -- jj : mom , it 's especially important to me 'cause i sold drugs . i hurt people . i hurt them badly . you know that . and maybe if i do this , it 'll make up for all the bad stuff that i did . jennifer : okay , you 're talking about paige now , are n't you ? paige : i do n't even know what you 're talking about . bev : kyle southern ? you flirted with him the other night just to drive jj crazy . and it worked . he totally freaked . but that 's not enough for you . now you 're having coffee with some creep who is so not your type . paige : [ scoffs ] okay , you do n't know what my type is or what i 'm like anymore . but i know something about you . bev : oh , yeah ? what 's that ? paige : do n't worry . what i have to tell you should make you real happy . [ knock on door ] eric : hey . did you forget something ? brady : nope . i 've been thinking about you since we talked , and i 've decided that i 'm really worried about you . [ knock on door ] serena : nicole , do come in . nicole : close the door . serena : what a surprise . nicole : you and i are gon na settle something . serena : what 's that ? nicole : i heard you talked to eric , and i know what you said , and i just want you to know it 's gon na get you nothing . paige : you 're obviously all about jj , always have been . so i think you should go for it . bev : i have your permission ? wow . thank you . paige : jj knows that i do n't want any part of him , so you probably have a shot . he always liked you . it does n't mean he wo n't break your heart , though , i mean , if you have one . maybe you deserve it . no . nobody deserves the kind of things jj does . bev : you can stuff your warnings . i know who jj is , and so did you . how could you not ? you 're a straight - a student . he was your little rebellion , and you knew exactly what you were getting into . so go cry about it to somebody else . paige : i was wrong . you and jj deserve each other . but i 'm gon na give you another warning , and you should n't ignore it . do n't let jj meet your mother . jennifer : you want to do this as some sort of penance for what you did to paige , right ? jj : what if i do ? jennifer : i am not denying that what you did to paige hurt her badly . and i made it worse by covering for you , jj . but you doing this is not gon na change what happened . she told you herself , honey , she does n't want any part of you . she wants to start a new life for herself . jj : and that scum that i saw today , that dealer , that 's the one she 's making her new life with . anne : hmm , i thought mr. burns was gon na be in here . that 's what his secretary said . kayla : he was leaving right when i got here . anne : yeah , well , i 'm just gon na have to find him , then . mr. burns asked me to give clyde weston a tour of the hospital , and i think he 'd want to know how it went , you know . kayla : well , maybe you can catch him in his office . anne : mr. weston was very impressed . i think he 's gon na make a hefty donation . kayla : did he tell you that ? anne : well , no , but that 's 'cause we ran into abigail , and we had to cut our conversation short , but he -- kayla : too bad . abigail : and why were you looking for me ? clyde : to apologize for barging in on you and hope brady this morning . abigail : oh , no . you do not have to apologize for that . please , it was so nice of you to -- to come and try to fix my stupid sink . [ chuckles ] clyde : well , i hope you know that i 'd do just about anything for you , sweetheart . you have made my son happier than he 's been in his entire life . nicole : so you paid eric a little visit . serena : that 's right . nicole : mm - hmm . stirring up trouble again , are we ? let me ask you a question . what does that get you ? serena : well , hopefully , it gets you off my back and stops you from publishing an article alleging that i 'm the brains behind xander 's illegal activities . nicole : `` alleging `` ? who came to salem to get those diamonds back ? who started an affair with eric to get close to them until you could get them to xander to get your cut ? serena : okay . i 'll say it for the 500th time . [ sighs ] yes , i hooked up with a bad guy , and that -- that is on me . but i still had to get those diamonds , or else xander was going to kill eric to get them . and i warned you to stay the hell away from xander , but you 're too pigheaded and/or stupid to listen . nicole : okay , you better calm down , or you might miss the one chance i was gon na give you to save your ass . serena : i ca n't wait to hear this . nicole : you 've made eric 's life a living hell long enough . i 'm sure even you can see that . so why do n't you just stay away ... from eric , me , daniel , brady , everyone ? i 'm sure you can handle it . i mean , are n't you getting sick of getting told off ? now , listen , if you do that , i promise i will do something for you . eric : come on , why should you be worried about me ? brady : because i know you . i can tell that you 're struggling with something really big , and you 're not talking to anybody about it . eric : i 'll be okay . i 'll be okay . brady : great . i feel so much better now , eric . eric : yeah , well , what do you want me to say ? brady : how many times when i was struggling did you come to me and say , `` brady , there is n't anything i would n't do for you `` ? eric : yeah , well , did you take me up on it ? brady : no . no , i did n't . that 's because i was an idiot . you 're supposed to be the rational , wise brother . eric : yeah , well , everybody knows that . brady : yeah . eric : you 're right . there is something going on . brady : see , i knew it . eric : listen , you have to ... brady : i knew it . eric : give me your word that it 'll absolutely stay between us . you get used to the lingering kyle : so everything went okay with the buy ? that 's good . good . good . listen , i got to go . paige : hi . kyle : hi . you look -- you look amazing . paige : thanks . kyle : listen , i got to fire off one text , and then you and i are gon na have some fun . paige : sounds good . kyle : all right . jennifer : i can not believe that paige would take up with a drug dealer , jj . jj : yeah , she would n't have before . then she found out what i did , and now she does n't care what happens to her . jennifer : well , that 's horrible . but that is up to paige and -- and eve , her mother , who should be looking out for this destructive behavior . jj : eve ? mom , are you kidding me ? eve does n't have a clue , and paige does n't want to see that . jennifer : okay , but , honey , you have to understand , whatever paige does and whoever she is involved with , that is up to her . she is not your concern , not anymore . jj : okay , so i 'm just supposed to sit back and do nothing while she hangs out with a guy that can get her hooked on drugs or worse ? jennifer : no , jj . jj : i 'm just supposed to say , `` hey , it 's not my problem `` ? jennifer : i 'm just saying if this guy is as bad as you say he is paige will eventually see right through him . she will come to her senses . she will . jj : eventually is n't good enough , mom . and what if she does n't ? jennifer : honey , i know that you are trying to be responsible . i know that you 're trying to be brave . and i know you are trying to undo what has been done , and i love you for that . but you have to do this because it 's -- it 's right and it 's noble and it 's important . it ca n't be about paige . [ cell phone ringing ] abigail : well , i hope you know that your son makes me very happy too . clyde : i 'm glad to hear that . ben probably told you he had a pretty hard go of it growing up because of me . abigail : yes . yeah , he 's told me . clyde : i was afraid he might never be happy . but now , you know , he 's got a good job . he 's going to college , but mainly , he 's got you . and i 'm hoping that this is the start of a lifetime of happiness for the two of you . kayla : mr. weston , hi . clyde : dr. brady . kayla : hi . i hear -- i hear that you just went on a tour of the hospital . clyde : i did , yeah . abigail : mr. weston , i have to get back to work now , but it was really nice to see you again . clyde : good to see you . abigail : kayla . kayla : so i also hear through the grapevine that you are maybe gon na give a sizable donation to the hospital . clyde : well , you heard right . the hospital can pretty much count on me doing exactly that . kayla : well , that 's very generous of you . clyde : well , it took me a while to learn , but you do reap what you sow . [ cell phone rings ] clyde : sounds like somebody wants you . kayla : yeah , apparently . oh , yes , i got to go . okay , well , good talking to you . clyde : nice to see you . chad : excuse me . hi , i 'm looking for abigail deveraux . you would n't happen to know where she is . oh , she 's been working in the office almost every day . chad : thank you . abigail : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] abigail : what do you want ? chad : you and i have to talk . serena : how could you possibly help me ? nicole : i heard about your new job at the hospital . how you got any job in this town is beyond me . i guess you did n't put your years as a diamond smuggler on your résumé . serena : make your point . nicole : okay . if i write that article that we talked about , you wo n't have that job for long , and you wo n't get another one . i mean , this is the kind of story that is bound to get picked up by wire services , and then it 'll go viral . but ... i will let it go . i wo n't write one word ... on one condition . go away . go back to africa or some other continent besides this one and start your train wreck of a life over far , far away . leave eric and the rest of us alone . [ scoffs ] serena : whoa . you are scared to death , are n't you ? what you so afraid of , nicole ? eric : answer my question . brady : nothing you tell me will leave this room , okay ? it 'll stay between us . i promise . eric : it 's nicole . i 've fallen in love with her again .	eric told nicole that serena possibly knew what happened between them . nicole did n't want to believe that she knew anything . serena tried to get brady to help her find out the truth , but he did n't tell her . paige warned jennifer that jj was with a drug dealer . jennifer appreciated the help . kyle wanted jj to deliver something for him . brady threatened to keep serena from getting her grant if she did n't leave the situation with eric and nicole alone . nicole wondered if eric let something slip that serena picked up on . eric denied it . eric noticed her ring and was visibly disappointed . nicole was determined to keep serena out of her business . serena did n't care for brady 's threat and was convinced someone else is the reason why he 's upset . clyde went to the hospital to check up on abby . kayla was n't sure if abby had feelings for chad . stefano believed that chad and abby were meant for each other . jennifer overheard jj talking about having drug money .
eric : so what did kate say that upset you ? sarah : ugh , let 's just say that she added insult to injury . eric : it must be pretty bad if it 's bothering you that much . sarah : she implied that us three , you , me , and your brother , living together is ... incestuous . rex : well , leave it to my mom to call it like she sees it . sarah : rex , i -- i can explain . rex : no , there 's no need to . i know exactly what 's going on here . i just ca n't believe i did n't see it sooner .

[ exhales ] oh , wait a minute . i know exactly who you are . you are that mean , mean , mean kristen dimera . oh ... xander : and why would you believe a word gabi says ? she works for -- and is sleeping with our main rival . brady : xander , gabi would 've never swiped this briefcase from you if she was n't sure that it contained evidence that would exonerate stefan . xander : if she was so damn sure , why did n't she open it herself ? brady : because her brother convinced her that whatever she found would be inadmissible in court because she obtained it illegally . xander : for such a terrible cop , rafe offered remarkably good advice . [ dramatic sting ] if you do n't mind -- brady : i do mind . like you said , stefan 's our biggest rival . so if you value your job , you 're gon na open this briefcase , you 're gon na show me what 's inside it . it 's time for you to show me that you 're a true kiriakis . lani : mr. laurent . did you get my messages ? ted : yes . yes , i was -- i was going to come by the station , so -- so we could talk in person . lani : here 's fine . i 'd like to discuss the statement you gave about your kidnapping . are you sure you did n't leave anything out ? ted : oh , very likely . i 'm a lawyer . i pay close attention to details . lani : mm , and you also know that hearsay is inadmissible in court . ted : of course . lani : we need more than xander 's word that stefan was behind your kidnapping . ted : okay , well , i 'm sorry , i do n't know what else i can give you . lani : kate provided some information she left out of her original statement . i need to corroborate it . [ suspenseful music ] kate : if you think you can strong - arm me into keeping silent about your crime , then you 're greatly mistaken . stefan : no , you 're the criminal here . you and ted made this whole thing up . and i 'm gon na prove it . kate : okay , that 's it . i have had it . i 'm gon na call the police . stefan : you 're working with nicole . i do n't know what your plan is , but you 're not gon na get away with it . eric : kate did n't mean it literally , it 's just her way of pointing out two brothers living under the same roof is a little ... rex : yeah , yeah , yeah . my wife . i get it . i just did n't want to believe it was true , but all the signs were there , i just chose to ignore them . sarah : rex , there 's nothing going on between eric and me . eric : yeah . rex : i know that . [ soft chuckle ] why did you think you had to tell me that ? rex : why would you feel the need to reassure me that there 's nothing going on with you and eric ? sarah : it -- just -- it sounded to me like you believed your mother 's implication that there is . rex : yeah , it 's kind of an odd thing to -- to jump to . [ soft chuckle ] eric : well , you said there were signs , like , signs of what ? rex : that my mom was gon na start playing mind games with my wife . you know she ca n't help herself . she always gets in the middle of her kids ' marriages . sarah : well , you know what they say . a daughter is a daughter for life , but a son 's a son until he takes a wife . so , okay , maybe kate is a little bit jealous . but i should n't have let it bother me so much . rex : come here . [ kisses ] do you have any idea how lucky i am to have a wife that is so understanding ? xander : [ sighs ] [ soft sinister music ] brady : what 's this ? xander : intel on businesses dimera is considering acquiring . so obviously i did n't want gabi seeing what i had . i 'm being proactive in my new job . brady : the question is why am i just seeing this now ? xander : as opposed to when ? brady : as opposed to when i threatened to fire you . now , why would you try to argue the finer points of your contract and -- and just crow on about your double - dealing with stefan when you could have just shown me this intel ? susan : everyone thinks you died in the fire . but you , you are alive as alive can be . kristen : susan , i can explain , okay ? susan : i am a smart cookie . you disguised yourself as me once before , so that you could slither your way through salem , so no one would know it was you . and you put me in a freezer ! you locked up me there , and you took my place at dr . marlena evans 's wedding . and you tried to kill her . oh ... you 're here to -- to finish the job , are n't you ? kristen : i need you to listen to me . susan : i 'm not afraid of you . i 'm not . okay , maybe just a little bit . but i will not let you hurt my best friend . kristen : susan , i am not going to hurt your best friend . susan : you are darn right you 're not ! kristen : [ gasps ] [ dramatic music ] kristen : all right . susie , come on now . put the gun down . if you pull the trigger , it will go off . susan : i know how to use a gun . i have my permit , and i have a very good aim . and i 'm not mean like you . i just want you to go to jail so that you do n't hurt anybody . police ! police , help ! help ! there 's a dangerous woman and she dressed like me ! her real name 's kristen dimera -- kristen : susan , i just -- wait . susan : help ! kristen : wait just a minute . i -- i 'm not -- i 'm not -- i 'm not kristen . come on . do n't you recognize me ? huh ? [ tense music ] xander : i did n't show you the intel yet , because i had n't quite finished vetting it . and i wanted to make sure i had before i handed it over . i 'm a very thorough guy . brady : [ sighs ] you 're thorough , you 're also a very secretive guy , which does n't work well in our business relationship , xander . i ca n't have you running around , making -- making deals with stefan dimera that involve kidnapping . xander : this is the thanks i get for getting kate out of your hair . brady : and i told you , i can handle kate just fine on my own . xander : i did you a favor . brady : a favor that could 've blown up in my face , xander , in case somebody suspected that i just wanted to get rid of the competition out there . xander : but no one does . brady : here 's the bottom line . you work for me . i ca n't have you out there going rogue whenever you want to . xander : shall i take a blood oath ? swear on a stack of bibles ? brady : no , no , that 's -- that 's not necessary . but i am gon na need to see what else is in that briefcase . rex : [ kisses ] you making your famous corn chowder for dinner ? sarah : no , it 's for the bump on the back of my head where your mother whacked me with an ice bucket . rex : what ? what , it 's not enough she 's insulting you , she 's physically attacking you now ? sarah : no , no , not -- not on purpose . i went to go check on her , and she thought i was somebody sent by stefan . rex : no , look , i 'm gon na have a little chat with my mom and tell her to respect my wife and my marriage . eric : well , it 's clear that she 's still on edge since the kidnapping . rex : well , yeah , i 'm gon na reiterate that to her . excuse me . sarah : i already -- rex : look -- can you just keep sarah company , please ? thanks . [ soft dramatic music ] ted : [ sighs ] i do n't -- i 'm sorry , detective price , but i 'm pretty sure i have already told you everything . lani : i thought so too . but when i followed up with kate , turns out she had more to say . ted : well , as you know , when we gave our statements , we were in pretty bad shape . it 's completely normal that that sometime we omit some minor details . lani : this is a very significant detail . ted : i see . is it possible for me to review my statements ? we should go to the police station right now , it 's okay . lani : actually , i have a copy of it right here . [ suspenseful music ] kate : you can make all the threats you want , but you 're going down . stefan : [ soft chuckle ] i know you despise me , kate . you 've made that very clear . you have for months . but why now ? why come after me now ? does nicole have something on you ? kate : oh , please . stefan : all right , so it 's not blackmail , maybe she made you a deal , offered you something pretty substantial to get me out of the way . maybe a job at dimera like the one i took from you . kate : enough . stefan : whatever she offered you , i 'll beat it . all you got ta do is tell the cops that i 'm innocent and she 's behind the whole thing . kate : really ? stefan : uh - huh . kate : too late for that . stefan : no , it 's not . you do n't owe her a damn thing . i 'll give you whatever you want . all you need to do is explain why you 're doing this . kate : i had no choice . [ tense music ] brady : what are you waiting for ? you have nothing to hide , xander , right ? so just show me what 's in the briefcase , please . maggie : um , sorry to interrupt . um ... brady : no . maggie : i just -- i had a moment of weakness . brady : okay , okay . did you , uh , did you have a drink ? maggie : uh , no . [ soft chuckle ] uh - uh . um , it 's , um , it 's victor . he 's -- he ca n't stop complaining about susan banks being here . brady : i know . maggie : and my nerves are shot . brady : okay . i 've got you . let 's , uh , let 's go to a meeting right ? maggie : okay . brady : i 'll find one right now . maggie : okay . okay . xander : you hang in there , maggie . you 're a strong woman . you can beat this . i 'm behind you all the way . [ suspenseful music ] maggie : sure . sure you are xander : what does that mean ? maggie : you said that you wanted to become a better person . and i was willing to give you a second chance . and then we find out that you 're involved in a kidnapping . now i 'm just not sure that i can trust you . i 'm kind of afraid of what you 're gon na do next . brady : do n't be afraid . i have a close eye on this one . let 's go , okay ? [ door shuts ] xander : brady might be watching me , but he did n't get a look at you , did he ? come on , nicole . let 's have some fun . susan : of course i know who you are . you 're kristen pretending to be me . kristen : no . no , no , no , honey . i 'm your sister . susan : uh - huh , you 're lying . uh - uh . my sister penelope died . kristen : uh -- i 'm your other sister . uh , sister mary moira . susan : what ? why are you dressed like me ? hmm ? why are n't you in a nun 's habit ? stefan : so nicole does have something on you ? kate : i never said that . stefan : but you did say you do n't have a choice . why is that ? how did she get you to go along with her plan ? kate : it 's time for you to leave . stefan : why , kate ? you afraid nicole 's gon na see us together ? kate : [ sighs ] oh , god . stefan : hey . look at me . if you feel threatened by her , i can help . kate : i do n't need your help . stefan : but i need yours , okay ? look , you know i hate you . but i 'm not afraid to admit that . you have me right where you want me , though . name your price . kate : it 's not about the money , you idiot . stefan : i do n't know why you 're cooperating with her , but i can see that you 're scared . it does n't have to be that way , kate . if we joined forces , we will destroy her . you 'll be safe . i 'll be free . we both win . all you have to do is tell me what 's really going on . sarah : [ sighs ] well , i hope rex is n't too hard on kate , 'cause she was trying to be protective of her son , and i respect that . and honestly , if anyone 's been the mother - in - law from hell , it 's been my mom . she 's not the biggest fan of rex . eric : yeah , well , given his history , you ca n't really blame her . sarah : yeah , but what about my history ? eric : well -- sarah : i strayed , too . i mean , every time someone comes down on rex for cheating , all i can think is i 'm a hypocrite . eric : yeah , yeah , yeah , well you and xander , it was a one - time thing . sarah : i meant , in my heart . with you . [ tender music ] eric : sarah , that 's all behind us . sarah : i know . but there 's this part of me that thinks that maybe kate kind of has a point , you know ? like , we keep saying that we do n't want to hurt rex , but we keep choosing to just stay in the same place . we keep choosing to put ourselves in a situation where we 're around each other all the time . i mean , if we keep going the way that we are , are n't we just tempting fate ? stefan : we 've worked together before , we can do it again . all you have to do is tell me the truth , and i promise you we will come out on top . kate : right . why would i ever trust you ? you just told me that you hated me . stefan : i did . but i hate prison even more . kate : [ sighs ] stefan : and you know i do n't like being under anyone 's thumb . kate , we can protect each other . rex : what the hell is going on here ? stefan : your mother was just about to tell me why she 's trying to frame me for kidnapping . [ suspenseful music ] kristen : i want you to go to the police and tell them the person who kept you hostage in here was stefan dimera . kate : okay . okay ! but what if the police do n't believe our story ? kristen : oh , you better make them believe it . because i have people everywhere . and i 'll have no choice but to send one to kill you both . better yet , i 'll just take out one of your precious children , kate . [ dramatic whoosh ] kate : he 's lying . he 's trying to harass me . he refused to leave . stefan : kate , please . kate : go ! just leave ! leave ! stefan : i 'm begging you -- rex : back off . enough . stefan : [ scoffs ] this is n't over . kate : [ sighs ] rex : the hell is this ? i thought he was locked up . kate : well , he made bail . and then he came over here to -- to intimidate me so i would n't testify against him . rex : well , that 's a crime . so i 'm calling the cops . ted : i 'm sorry , detective price , but , uh , my statement seems to be complete . lani : so during your kidnapping ordeal , you never saw stefan , correct ? you only dealt with xander . ted : i 'm not really sure what you 're trying -- getting at . [ phone rings ] [ phone beeps ] lani : detective price . salem inn , room 2119 ? i 'll be right there . ted : wait , that 's kate roberts ' room . lani : apparently stefan dimera paid her a visit . ted : is she all right ? lani : her son called it in . apparently stefan verbally harassed her . we 'll finish this conversation another time . ted : no , i 'm coming with you . lani : this is a police matter . you are a witness . better if you stay away . ted : the hell i will . kristen : well -- i gave up my habit . susan : how come ? kristen : because i fell in love . susan : [ laughs ] nuns are n't supposed to fall in love . kristen : i have spent many years committed to god , obeying my vows and poverty and ... all the other stuff . and -- anyway , there was a gardener at the convent . and i fought the attraction . so , so long i fought that attraction . [ soft laugh ] i mean , i prayed every day and every night . oh , but then eventually , love just won out . it did . and hank and i want to spend our life together . susan : oh , is that his name ? hank ? kristen : yeah . [ laughs ] my heart just , like , boom , pops when i say it . susan : this is -- it reminds me of roger . you know , the first time i met him , he had his hair all greased up , and he had these real sexy leather pants on . [ laughs ] i was just a goner . [ inhales ] oh , but that 's just how love is sometimes , you know ? it just happens . kristen : [ soft laugh ] oh -- oh , you 're just are the sweetest , nicest person . i knew you 'd understand that . susan : i think i do . i think i do . just what -- why are you here in salem ? kristen : well , because . you 're my sister and i wanted to share how -- how happy i am , uh ... about our relationship , you know , with hank , before we go on this , um , this cruise around the world . yep . [ soft laugh ] susan : a cruise ? kristen : yeah . susan : [ laughs ] ooh . so where you gon na go ? kristen : well . [ soft laugh ] it is best that i do n't tell you that , susan . just in case the nuns come calling , okay ? now , susan , i want you to promise me that you 're not gon na say anything to anyone , that you saw me , all right ? in case that the convent , you know , tracks me down , the sisters track me down , and wants to pressure me to come back now . and i just -- i may lose hank if i do that . susan : oh , oh , oh , i promise you , i promise you , i promise i will not -- i wo n't say a word , no . but guess what ? you have to promise me that when you get back in town , that you and your honey bunch come visit roger and i in memphis . we 'll go on one of those little double dates . kristen : oh ! yeah ! i 'd love that ! that 'd be so great ! oh , god , you know , i -- we may not be close , but you are a -- i really , really am glad you are my sister . susan : me too . me too -- oh , and i am so sorry i pulled this gun on you and mistaken you for that awful kristen dimera . oh . i just want you to have a fabulous trip . kristen : [ soft laugh ] susan : oh . both : [ soft laugh ] kristen : okay . susan : [ laughs ] [ dramatic music ] kristen : [ groans ] oh , now sister mary moira is sailing off into the sea . [ soft chuckle ] or the sunset , wherever the heck she 's going . now , where are you , xander , with my mask ? eric : i 'm not gon na lie , as much as i love being near you , kate is n't the only one who 's concerned . it , uh -- you know , my parents , they 're worried , too . sarah : are you worried ? eric : to be honest , you know , um , as great as it is , sharing a meal with you and rex or watching a movie , when i see his arms around you , yeah . it hurts . sarah : that 's the last thing that i would want and -- when i said yes to rex 's proposal , it 's because i thought that you and nicole were gon na be together . i thought -- i mean , if i would 've known that we had a chance , i -- eric : sarah , don't . don't . listen , you 're married to my brother . he loves you as much as you love him . sarah : but i hate that this is hard on you . eric : if you want to make this easier , just be the best wife you can be to rex . rex : so i threw stefan out and called the police . kate : i mean , honestly , i do n't even know how that animal got bail . i mean , it 's ridiculous . am i going to need a restraining order or something ? lani : i hope that wo n't be necessary . i 'm sure the d.a . 's office will contact stefan 's attorney and put them on notice . we 'll be in touch . rex : thank you . [ soft dramatic music ] kate : i am so glad that you showed up when you did . rex : are you okay ? kate : [ sighs ] yeah , i 'm -- i 'm fine . why did you come over anyway ? rex : oh , please , mom , do n't even worry about it . we 'll talk about it some other time . kate : what ? what is it ? rex ? rex : okay . you upset my wife . kate : oh ... rex : look , sarah was n't exactly thrilled with you calling us living with eric incestuous -- `` incestuous , `` by the way ? come on . all right , i will spare you the lecture , given the recent circumstances . are you sure you 're okay ? you seem very shaken . kate : well , i mean , i could use a little water . rex : okay , okay , definitely . is this the ice bucket you hit sarah over the head with ? kate : okay ! i am sorry that i hit her over the head , okay ? i mean , i -- i really thought that she was someone that stefan had sent over . and then , you know , stefan did show up , so it kind of proves my point . rex : i just -- i get it . i understand , that 's okay . kate : look , and i understand that -- that -- well , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that she was offended by the comments that i made , but actually , honey , it struck a nerve . and i have to wonder why . rex : just -- we 're over it . but she 's my wife . and i love her . so it would be great if you two could just get along . kate : i know . okay , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na do my part , i am . rex : thank you . means a lot to me . kate : mm . rex : now , if you 're sure you 're okay , i 'm gon na leave on a high note , all right ? kate : oh , sure . you know , it 's just -- the thing is , though , well , i -- i 'm not the only mother - in - law involved , you know ? rex : and there goes the high note . kate : well , i 'm saying , in all fairness and equity , sarah should really talk to maggie , because maggie should be treating you nicer as well . maggie : thank you for coming with me . brady : my pleasure . i 'm always up for a meeting . you know that . maggie : [ soft laugh ] i did get the feeling , though , that it was n't the best timing ? i mean , were you and xander arguing about something ? brady : well -- yeah -- mm . long story short , i promised gabi that i would return xander 's briefcase to him . but when i did , he was n't exactly grateful . he acted very ... squirrelly . it concerned me . i did n't like that . maggie : mm , i can see what you mean . you know , [ clears throat ] xander had me convinced that he had turned over a new leaf . but , uh , i 'm having my doubts about that . brady : do n't worry about him . if he tries to betray our family or the company , he will be toast . kristen : what took you so long ? xander : i enjoy making you suffer . kristen : well , you will suffer if you cross me . xander : i thought we established that i hold the power now ? which means i 'm not scared of you . but ... i 've had my fun . so your days masquerading as susan banks are over . kristen : and not a moment too soon . i came face to face with the real susan banks , and she held a gun on me . xander : [ soft chuckle ] sorry i missed that . but you 're not dead , so you must have talked her down . kristen : yeah , i did . i made up a story that i was her sister , the nun , and she bought it . now , give me back the mask . you know i -- if i 'm not disguised as nicole , i ca n't get near brady . xander : well , i ran into your lover boy back at the manse . he almost got a look inside my briefcase . well , did he see it ? xander : no . but it was close . if he got a look at this , all your plans would blow up in your face . well , this face . kristen : [ sighs ] damn you for messing with me . xander : well , you should know by now that messing with me can be deadly . copd makes it hard to breathe . susan : oh , maggie , hi ! brady .

[ soft laugh ] see , ted and kate are terrified at what i 'll do . and i am sure that they will tell the story about stefan kidnapping them . and now that , uh , my little brother is out of the picture , no one will stop me or nicole from taking over dimera enterprises . xander : are n't you forgetting gabi hernandez ? kristen : oh , please . i could crush her like the little cucaracha she is . xander : okay . just remember , i know who you really are . and if you get in my way , i 'll blow you and all your big plans right out the water .

[ tender music ] sarah : rex , we need to move out . rex : [ soft chuckle ] what , 'cause of some dumb comment my mother made ? sarah : no , because it 's time . rex : i thought you loved living here . sarah : i do , i -- i have . i -- it 's just -- eric : i think what she 's trying to say is she 's ready for an upgrade from , you know , the man cave . rex : [ soft chuckle ] yeah . eric : the whole dirty socks and , uh , you know , dishes . sarah : your brother 's being polite . he 's using humor to avoid the truth . which is ... we 're imposing . eric needs his space , and -- and we need ours . and it 's not like we 're not gon na see him . we 'll have him over for dinners and movie nights and ... rex : yeah . yeah , and he -- he does n't have to watch us make out on the couch . [ chuckles ] eric : yeah , and as much as i 'll miss you guys , i 'm gon na not miss any of sarah 's makeup all over my bathroom counter . rex : yeah , but she does n't need any of that , i mean , you 're such a natural beauty . [ laughs ] eric : that she is .	sarah and eric talked about rex . she said she cheated on rex in her heart . she thought kate might have been right about them tempting fate . eric said his parents said the same thing . he said it hurt to see her with rex . sarah said she thought he was going to be with nicole . he said she was married to his brother . kate thought about kristen threatening her . kate told him to leave . ted called kate and told her to call him back so they could get their stories straight . lani showed up . she said they needed more than his word to prove that stefan was guilty . she said kate was providing enough detail . ted looked over his statement . lani called kate . ted followed her .

[ scene_break ] belle : philip is in trouble with his superiors because of me , and i just wanted to explain to them that it 's not his fault that i was following him around when he was tailing maya . philip : and i asked belle to stay out of it like she should have done in the first place . shawn - d : you do n't want to mess with the marine corps or miss belle black . philip : belle , just trust me that i can take care of myself , okay ? belle : i do . shawn - d : see , he wants you to take care of you . he 's a good friend . philip : yeah . um , i do n't have much time , you guys , so i 'll catch you later . shawn - d : yeah . philip : see ya . shawn - d : later .

[ scene_break ] dr. galloway : hey , you can release that breath you 've been holding . things are looking good . there 's still some swelling , but the scarring is minimal , and as you continue to heal , your vocal control will be improving by leaps and bounds . with a little retraining , you should be able to achieve full volume and normal range , which means you 'll be able to speak clearly with no pain and with hardly any residual effects from your accident . good as new . [ scene_break ] lucas : i 'm sorry . i - i know your personal life is none of my business . tony : ha . how quite right you are . although i would not have hired you if i did n't think you had a certain natural curiosity . as i recall , i expressed concern about sami when she was in the hospital , about your involvement in her personal life . lucas : yeah , you said she did n't need mixed signals , and i agree with that . tony : right . and you need to be decisive , lucas . i mean , sami 's background is certainly different than mine , and yet i identify with her survivor instinct . i admire her spirit . lucas : so what are you saying ? what are you saying ? are you in love with her or what ? [ scene_break ] jack : no . no , no , no , no , no . barry : do you know how many people in their homes feel victimized the way hope brady did ? she could give them hope . this is a feel - good story , jack . jack : but -- yeah , but -- barry : no , no , no , no , no . on the other hand , this could be a cautionary tale . you never know what dangers are lurking . jack : tv is not about frightening people . barry : tv is about entertaining . jack : have you ever taken a journalism class , ever ? barry : this is n't journalism , jack . now , just get out there and have some fun . jack : this is not fun , barry . let me -- listen , journalism is an important ...

stephanie : what else ? max : [ grunts ] you know , this is completely crazy . the deeper we get into this , the more , i think , there 's a hell of a lot less to salvage . stephanie : well , i still say we can do it . if we rebuild the engine , replace the fuel lines , front suspension , exhaust manifold , the rest is pretty much bodywork . max : oh , you make it sound so simple . i do n't quite get why you 're doing this . stephanie : doing what ? max : helping me -- the competition . stephanie : well , maybe i do n't see you as competition . max : oh , thanks . stephanie : [ chuckles ] i 'm kidding . max : i 'm not so sure . stephanie : seriously , this is fun for me . there 's nothing i love more than a challenge . max : that 's what i -- i get that about you . stephanie : plus , i know how much this car means to you , but god knows why . max : excuse me ? what was that ? stephanie : you said yourself she 's been unpredictable the last few races .. max : yeah , but , stef , i 've poured my blood , my tears , and my sweat into this thing . i pretty much built this car from scratch . i 'm just a tiny bit attached to it . stephanie : you know what i think ? i think race cars are a lot like relationships -- sometimes they can turn out to be more trouble than they 're worth . [ scene_break ] abby : thanks for waiting for me . chelsea : no problem . how 's your dad ? abby : he 's still pretty out of it , but he 's hanging in there . hopefully this new trial drug is working . chelsea : it 'll work , abby . i know it will . hey , if there 's one thing we all know about your dad , it 's he 's a survivor , right ? i mean , seriously , i 'm surprised he 's not in the guinness book of world records after everything he 's been through . abby : you know , you 're right . he 's gon na get better and [ sighs ] hopefully he will . chelsea : he will . you ready to go ? abby : yeah , um , i 'm just gon na go say goodbye to my mom . chelsea : okay , take your time . i still have to figure out a way to get max to forget about mrs. goodwrench . that 's it .

[ scene_break ] sami : that 's very sweet of you , e.j . e.j . : i was n't saying it to be sweet . i meant that . sami : but i do n't know if you would mean that still if you knew what i had done . e.j . : it does n't matter what you 've done . if austin loves you ... and i know that he does , if you come forward and you tell him the truth , he 's going to be able to find a way to forgive you . sami : the truth . e.j . : yes , the truth . you remember the thing that 's gon na set you free ? sami : whoever said that does n't know me and certainly does n't know what i 'm capable of . e.j . : we all make mistakes . sami : not like mine . e.j . : look , i 've made plenty of mistakes , serious ones . one in particular , you know . sami : what ? do you mean about the woman that you told me about from england , the one that you loved so much ? e.j . : i should never have let her go . sami : you said that she chose to pursue her career rather than being with you . e.j . : but i ca n't help but feel that if i 'd fought for her , really fought for her ... maybe things would have worked out okay . maybe we 'd still be together . and that 's why i think it 's so important that you have to fight for austin , because if you do n't come forward and tell him the truth and he finds out that you 've lied , you really do n't have a chance . sami : you do n't understand . you 're preaching to the choir . i am all for fighting for the man that i want to be with . i just have to find a way to make austin understand what i did . i do n't want to lose him to carrie . [ scene_break ] austin : oh , my . sami : austin . austin : just when i thought you could n't get more beautiful . you look amazing . sami : thank you . austin : amazing . sami : you told me tonight was special , so i ... austin : well , something tells me that this is gon na be a night that neither one of us will ever forget . sami : i bet you 're right . e.j . : look , maybe i should give you guys a little -- austin : no , no .

[ scene_break ] abby : maybe i should stay here with dad . you should go home and get some rest . jennifer : no , no , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . listen , why do n't you try to relax and go out and have some fun tonight , okay ? your dad 's stable . there 's nothing to worry about right now . and besides , you know what ? it 's what he would want for you . abby : mom , what about you ? you 've barely slept or eaten or anything . jennifer : honey , i 'm fine , really . now , go on . chelsea is waiting for you , okay ? you can come see your dad in the morning . he 's not going anywhere . abby : you 're gon na call me if you need me ? jennifer : yes , i promise . i love you . abby : i love you , too .

[ scene_break ] e.j . : well , austin , listen , why do n't i leave the two of you alone ? i can let you off the hook . austin : no , tonight is a celebration . carrie and lucas are gon na be here later , so the more , the merrier , so let 's head up to the roof . i do n't want to keep sami in suspense any longer . e.j . : why do n't i go and grab a bottle of champagne and i 'll see you up there ? austin : you do n't have to do that . i got it all covered . e.j . : austin , i insist . austin : we 'll meet you up there . e.j . : i wo n't be long .

[ slow music plays ] austin : so , what do you think ? sami : austin ... how in the world did you do this ? austin : i 'm a multitasker . no , i wish i could say i did it all by myself , but i had some help -- maggie and the staff at chez rouge . sami : i do n't get it . i mean , why ? what is this all about ? austin : i wanted to show you , our friends , and everyone how much you mean to me . and when i said ... this was gon na be a night that we 'll never forget , i meant it . sami : i still do n't understand . austin : you will . this is just the beginning . i have a much ... bigger surprise in store for you . afterwards , this will all make sense . [ scene_break ] lucas : lexie , what are you talking about ? carrie : are you saying there 's something wrong with the baby ? lexie : i am so sorry . i do n't even know how to tell you this . [ sighs ] there is no baby . lucas : there 's no baby ? carrie : you mean that i lost it ? i miscarried ? lucas : she could n't have had a miscarriage . she would have known something happened , right , lexie ? lexie : no , no , she did n't lose the baby . she was never pregnant . carrie : what ? lucas : she took a test . there must be some mistake . she took a pregnancy test . carrie : i followed the directions to the letter . it was definitely positive , lexie . lexie : unfortunately , what happens sometimes with home - pregnancy tests is that you get a false positive . it 's very , very rare , but it can happen . carrie : but my period , i have n't had it . lexie : right , well , um , that could be from all the excitement and stress of planning your wedding or finding out , believing you were pregnant . in effect , you had what some refer to as a hysterical pregnancy . carrie : oh , my god . this ca n't be ha -- i called my o.b . 's office . they did n't even want to see me until 10 weeks . lucas : honey , do n't worry about it , okay ? if we ca n't have a family , if we ca n't have a baby now , we 'll just try again . it 'll work out , i promise . lexie : [ clears throat ] actually ... there 's something else i need to discuss with you . carrie : what ? what more could there possibly be if i was never really pregnant ? lexie : well , remember , after the appendectomy , we talked about the residual scar tissue from your ruptured ovarian cyst , that it could affect your chances of conceiving and the longer you waited -- carrie : no . lexie , do n't tell me that it 's too late . do n't tell me that i ca n't have children . [ scene_break ] max : you 're not the first person to wonder what i see in chelsea . stephanie : oh , i think it 's very clear what you see . it is a well - known fact that max brady has an eye for cute girls . girls as in plural , never just one . max : all right , whatever you 've heard about me , all these rumors or anything like that , they ... are true . stephanie : [ laughs ] a girl in every city , a trail of broken hearts from indianapolis to daytona . max : no , that 's all done . i 'm not like that anymore . stephanie : really , because of chelsea ? max : yeah . stephanie : okay . max : what ? stephanie : nothing . it 's just ... there must be more to her than meets the eye . max : there is . there 's a lot more . it 's hard to explain , okay ? she 's complicated . stephanie : right . max : she 's been hurt a lot , so she has these major trust issues , but she 's not a bad person . she 's -- she 's like this scared little girl inside , and -- and -- i -- i need -- i do n't know . i 'm making excuses . stephanie : but you love her . that 's the bottom line . max : yeah , i love her . there 's something about her that makes me want to be a better person . someday when she 's all grown - up , i want to -- i want to marry her . stephanie : wow . that is serious . max : yeah . [ clears throat ] so , what about you ? stephanie : what about me ? max : is there someone special in your life ? stephanie : actually , there is ... or was . [ scene_break ] abby : okay , chelsea , so , what 's your big plan ? how are you gon na make max stand up and take notice , as you put it ? chelsea : by hooking up with this guy . abby : you 're serious ? chelsea : mm - hmm . abby : have n't you done that like a million times before ? that 's your big plan ? you 're gon na make him jealous ? chelsea : no , i 'm not gon na just make him jealous . this time i 'm gon na make max see that he 's got some serious competition .

[ scene_break ] e.j . : he 's quite the romantic , your fiance . sami : he is romantic , and he is wonderful , and he is handsome and charming and everything that i have ever wanted or dreamed of . and now i am going to blow it . when he finds out that i am the same horrible , lying , manipulative bitch that he left in vegas , he 's gon na -- e.j . : samantha , that 's not true . and by telling him the truth , you 're gon na prove that . the old sami would n't have done this . sami : there is so much more that you do n't even know . e.j . : let me tell you what i do know , okay ? i think that your secret somehow involves you keeping carrie and austin apart , and the real problem here is that i think that you 're afraid that if austin finds out the truth , he 's gon na go back to carrie . the reality of the situation is , they 're over , okay ? carrie made a choice . she 's married to lucas , and she did that of her own free will , regardless of whatever you may have done . and even if , you know , austin did want to go back to her , which i do n't believe , the reality of the situation is , it 's impossible . she 's having a baby with lucas . sami : you 're right . you 're right . austin would never break up a family , because he is a good person . and i am not . e.j . : will you stop talking about yourself like that , please ? look at this . nobody does this unless they 're head over heels . samantha , trust me . you need to get this situation over with before austin finds out the truth about what has happened before whoever 's writing these mysterious notes writes another one , and this time sends it directly to him . sami : i know . i know you 're right . and i 'm gon na tell him as soon as he gets back . austin : thank you , god . [ scene_break ] lexie : i am so sorry . i wish i did n't have to tell you this . carrie : you said when you found the scar tissue that if i did n't start a family soon , it would be too late . that was n't that long ago , lexie . lexie : i know , i know , but predicting exactly how much time any woman has is impossible , carrie . lucas : wait a minute . what are you saying , that carrie ca n't get pregnant , with all the fertility drugs they have -- in vitro ? it worked for belle and philip and shawn and mimi . why not us ? lexie : well , those are each very different cases . look , i am so sorry . i wish i could tell you there was hope , but these test results are very clear . i 've consulted with dr. ross and dr. bader . i know how badly you want to have a child , carrie , but based on your hormone levels , your chances of conceiving are less than 1 % . [ scene_break ] abby : am i missing something ? did you or did you not promise max that you 'd be his girlfriend ? chelsea : no , i promised , but i had my fingers crossed just in case . abby : are you in second grade ? give me a break , okay ? the guy totally commits to you , and you are so insecure that you ca n't trust it , then you start playing games . chelsea : look ... i just do n't want to lose him , okay ? abby : you 're not gon na lose him , chelsea . chelsea : abby , it 's already started . it 's just like i told you -- you commit to a guy . he knows he has you , and then he starts to lose interest . abby : he 's not losing interest . his race car just got totaled . his whole career could be put on hold . the only thing you 're worrying about is him paying attention to you . he has other things on his mind . what is wrong with you ? chelsea : stephanie johnson is what 's wrong with me . everything was fine here until she showed up . abby : look , they 're just friends . chelsea : really ? you think so ? she wants him , abby . and you think that he does n't notice that ? he likes her , too . abby : not like that . chelsea : how could he not ? she 's gorgeous , and she 's a fellow grease monkey . they have all this stuff in common . they 're practically made for each other . and you saw him . he could n't wait to get rid of me at the garage so that they could be alone together . abby : she was helping him with his car . at least she knows how much it means to him . chelsea : yeah , i do , too . believe it or not , i actually care about max . i should be the one that 's there for him . abby : look , if you go through with this plan , you 're gon na lose max for good . chelsea : not if i do it right . look , according to this article , it says that the number - one way to keep your man interested is to make sure that he 's jealous . abby : i find that hard to believe . chelsea : well , it 's all right there . abby : wow . maybe you did n't read the sidelines . chelsea : what ? what 's in them ? abby : well , it also says that it 's the number - one way to lose him . `` it 's a dangerous game that could easily backfire . play at your own risk . `` chelsea : that 's just a disclaimer . all they 're saying is , is that you have to know how to work it . and i do . abby : what are you doing ? chelsea : i 'm just texting max .

adrienne : sonny is the most loving and thoughtful person in the whole world , and that 's why i know he did n't kill deimos . but if we do n't find out who did , sonny is going to prison , and there 's nothing i can do about it . and the thought of my son spending the rest of his life behind bars is just devastating . marlena : yeah , well , you know what ? nobody wants that to happen , and that is why john and paul are working so hard to clear his name . they 're following every lead . adrienne : lead ? is there a lead ? do they know who killed deimos ? xander : you came all this way to accuse me of murdering deimos and now suddenly you doubt me ? paul : yeah , well , victor is capable of anything , but he loves sonny . he 'd never sacrifice him . xander : but would he sacrifice me ?

victor : i 'll say whatever i need to say to get sonny out of jail . brady : no . no , no , no , no . granddad , you ca n't confess to the murder . you ca n't give a false confession . victor : why not ? nicole : because they 'll see right through it , and it 's only gon na make things worse for sonny . victor : but then what the hell am i supposed to do ? stand on the sidelines praying for a miracle ?

hattie : i did n't just come down here to chat you up and show you my new clothes , you know . i 'm talking about a real , bona fide get out of jail free card . bonnie : is that anything like the card you got for hope brady ?

maggie : i told her , and i have told her every time i have visited her . nicole : okay , pictures . pictures , pictures . maggie : pictures . pictures . . okay . nicole : okay . maggie : there . nicole : oh . maggie : there . look . brady : oh , my god . maggie : look . look . look , there she is , and there she is on that bouncy thing . she absolutely loves that . nicole : look at her . she 's wearing that little outfit i gave her . maggie : she is . nicole : she 's changed so much , has n't she ? brady : a little bit . nicole : oh , my gosh , and look at this one . brady : you know what that is . nicole : is that a teeny tiny little tooth ? oh . maggie : yes , it is . nicole : oh , my little sweetheart . oh , maggie . i know it has n't been long , but she 's just growing up . and i 'm not there to see it . eric : i 'm gon na figure out a way to distract you so i can eat the rest of these while you 're not looking . jennifer : they are so good , right ? eric : no . donuts are good at a store . this -- that is a spiritual experience . jennifer : well , my gram used to say that she had a very special ingredient in her batter . eric : yeah ? did you find out what it was ? jennifer : no , because then it would n't be special and then it would n't be a secret . eric : well , then how did you find out ? jennifer : okay , i 'll tell you the story . when hope and i were little girls , we were obsessed with what this special secret ingredient was , so when we were about eight years old , we hid under my gram 's kitchen table , and the thing is , she knew that we were there , but she never said a word . eric : so what did you see ? jennifer : well , she was just , you know , working along , working along , and we watched her make her dough , roll it out , drop it in the oil . we saw flour , we saw butter , we saw sugar , but we did not see the special secret ingredient . so just when we were about to give up , my grandpa tom walked in , and he kissed my grandma , and she walked over to him , and she gave him a donut , and we saw the look on her face , and in that instant , hope and i knew that the secret ingredient was love . eric : well , thank you for sharing that . jennifer : that 's what friends do . eric : you know , we 've seen each other under some dark times . and now here we are . jennifer : yeah . here we are . eric : i really do n't think that there anything that we ca n't say to each other . jennifer : well , i 'm glad to hear you say that , especially after what brady said to me yesterday . eric : what exactly did brady say ? marlena : adrienne , i 'm so sorry . i misspoke . i did n't mean to say they were following a lead . i should have said that they were going to pursue every avenue to bring sonny home . adrienne : i understand . marlena : and you should know that they 're working tirelessly , and they will not stop until they achieve their goal . adrienne : sonny 's lucky to have so many people who love and support him . marlena : well , you know what ? luck 's got nothing to do with it . he deserves it . he 's such a wonderful man . i mean , i think of him as my grandson . standing before him with will on their wedding day , marrying them , was one of the proudest days of my life . i will never , ever forget that . adrienne : neither will i . marlena : i still think of him as family . i always will , because he has to remind his daughter about will -- how to keep that memory alive . adrienne : she 's been through so much in her short little life . the thought that she could lose another father ... marlena : no . no , no , no . no . ari is not gon na lose sonny . adrienne : how can you be so sure ? marlena : because i have so much faith in john , and i know that he will not stop until he brings sonny home to you and to his daughter . adrienne : i pray you 're right . john : you want our help getting out of here , you got to give us something concrete . xander : see , the thing is , i ca n't give you concrete unless you give me the proper incentive . paul : what kind of incentive ? xander : well , for starters , immunity , of course . john : you talking about full immunity ? xander : the isa can do all sort of things , mr. black , and if you want me to risk my life to help you and sonny boy , i need assurances that my butt is gon na be safe and secure in that beach chair . paul : what if he 's telling the truth ? john : when the hell has xander ever told the truth ? paul : i know xander 's history , dad , but what if this is real ? and if it 's sonny 's last hope ? bonnie : i have spent years trying to get old red out of my noggin . hattie : yeah , and people get all high and mighty and say we got to forgive and forget . bonnie : there 's no forgiving maggie horton , and i sure as hell am not forgetting that she stole my soul mate . hattie : yeah . good old mickey horton . may he rest in peace . bonnie : he was the sweetest man in the whole world , and you know , when i set my eyes on him , maggie was out of the picture . i mean , she was gone -- dead . and the poor man , he was devastated . and who taught him to live again ? who picked up the pieces of his broken heart ? hattie : bonnie lockhart did . bonnie : damn straight i did . we fell in love -- deep love . and i was this close to getting everything i 'd ever wanted , and then she rose from the grave , that auburn - haired zombie , and then nothing was the same when maggie came back from gilligan 's island or wherever the hell she was from . hattie : yeah , well , honey , she stole him from you . bonnie : damn right she stole him . and not only did she steal my cutie patootie , but she stole my livelihood , my everything . hattie : that 's just not fair . i mean a nasty old cow like that coming along and hurting a good woman like you . bonnie : that 's right . that 's right . it is not fair . and every time i think about her and what she did to me and my mickey , i just want to take my hands and put them around her scrawny little neck . hattie : oh , oh , hey , hey , easy , girl . easy . easy . bonnie : what ? hattie : no , 'cause we ca n't do that . we ca n't do that . but there 's one thing we can do . bonnie : what ? hattie : we can get payback . maggie : being kept from your child is just -- it 's the worst thing in the world . nicole : how did you get through it ? how did you survive having your child taken from you ? maggie : that 's not an easy answer . you just have to go on with your life . because what other choice do you have ? and you have to have faith that someday soon , holly will be back in your arms . nicole : i 'm trying to hold onto that . yeah . maggie : okay . honey , listen . you got to stay on course with this community service . you have to keep your head down , because you have to prove to the judge what a great mom you can be . nicole : i just -- i just hate that another family is raising her , that some stranger gets to hear her first word and see her first steps . maggie : well , the foster family said that they would take videos . nicole : it 's not the same thing , maggie . it 's not the same thing as being there . maggie : her foster mother is -- nicole : is not her mother . i am her mother . brady : you will -- maggie : right . you are . brady : you will always be her mother . you have to be patient right now . nicole : i hate being patient . maggie : i know you do . i know , sweetheart . but you have to be strong now , okay ? and you have to have faith , like i said , and that your daughter will be back in your arms very soon . nicole : okay . okay . i guess i should go change for community service . will you send me those pictures , please , maggie ? maggie : of course . nicole : okay . thank you . maggie : you 're welcome . nicole : thank you so much , 'cause i do n't know what i would do without you . maggie : well , you 're never gon na have to find out . nicole : or you , brady . i hope you know that . eric : what did brady say ? jennifer : it 's nothing . i should n't have brought it up , really . eric : jennifer , if it 's nothing , then why wo n't you tell me ? jennifer : no , because i have an editor 's meeting , and i really need to go . eric : jennifer , please tell me what brady said . jennifer : it was n't -- eric : i do n't know why you 're not telling me . jennifer : it 's no big deal -- eric : what ? jennifer : i was at an aa meeting , and i was just generally discussing our relationship . eric : our relationship ? yours and mine ? jennifer : yeah , and i did n't mention your name , but brady was there , and so he called me out on it . eric : what did you say ? jennifer : i just said that i think that we were destined to be friends and that i was okay with that . eric : how did brady take that ? i mean , did he weigh in ? jennifer : yeah . he told me that i should give our relationship another shot . eric : did he ? jennifer : i mean , i know he was just looking out for us and trying to be a friend , you know ? eric : i 'm not so sure about that . i think he 's got skin in the game . bonnie : payback is a bitch , and so is maggie horton . hattie : yeah , well , that 's maggie horton kiriakis . you know , she did n't waste any time at all moving on from rich mickey to even richer victor . bonnie : she 's probably out sunning herself on some big yacht drinking fancy champagne . hattie : yeah , and here you are stuck in here eating slop off a tin tray . you know , she 's out there living large , like one of those tv housewives . bonnie : god . remember how we loved to watch those gals . ooh , especially that hottie lisa . both : whoo , whoo ! [ both laughing ] bonnie : i swear to god , every time i look at her , i think , `` that is someone i used to know , `` but i ca n't . hattie : hmm . hey . bonnie : hmm ? hattie : you could be one of those dames . bonnie : oh , my god , i 'd be great on that show . hattie : yeah , yeah . bonnie : oh , i 'd be hosting fancy parties and getting into fights and flipping tables , and what i would n't give to see the look on old red 's face when i became a star . hattie : yeah . bonnie : hmm . hattie : hey , let 's do it . bonnie : well , it 's kind of hard to be a big tv star when you 're a fugitive on the run for your life . hattie : you 're forgetting something . once i get you out of here , you wo n't be a fugitive . bonnie : how do you figure ? hattie : 'cause you wo n't be bonnie lockhart anymore . bonnie : well , if i 'm not gon na be me , who am i gon na be ? hattie : i 'd like you to meet adrienne kiriakis . brady : wow , you look great . not a speck of dirt on that . nicole : thank you . i have to look nice for my community service at the horton center . brady : yeah . was eric gon na be there today ? nicole : yes . he 's my supervisor . he 's always there . brady : mm - hmm . nicole : brady , we need to talk ... brady : no , hey , no , no . nicole : about this . brady : we do n't need to . we 're good . nicole : are we ? brady : yeah . you 've told me a million times . you and he were out of your mind , and you just thought you were kissing daniel , and i get it . nicole : kissing him good - bye . okay , but it 's obviously still bothering you . brady : it does bother me , okay ? it bothers me a little bit . how could it not bother me ? nicole : i -- brady : i do n't -- nicole : stop . i love you . i love you and only you . brady : i want to trust in that . i want to trust in that . it just -- it 's hard , because i 'm constantly worried every time you walk out the door that you 're gon na be with him , and i feel a certain way . i do n't like feeling that way . nicole : do n't , do n't , do n't , do n't be . look , a judge ordered me to work with him -- the man that took daniel from me -- and i will never forgive him for that . and i promise you , as soon as i am done with my community service , i will not go anywhere near eric . you believe that , right ? brady , please tell me you believe that . okay , now you 're making it really hard for me to go . brady : i 'm gon na cancel my meetings for tonight , and i want you to text me as soon as eric lets you leave , okay ? can you do that ? okay . eric : nicole and i -- we were both so hopped up on whatever deimos put in everyone 's drinks , we had no idea where we were or what we were doing . jennifer : did something happen between you ? eric : no . i mean , not what you think . it 's just -- we had a close moment . jennifer : close . eric : yeah . when brady found out , he was n't happy . he just tried to play it off , and ... jennifer : i get it . so that 's why he was trying to push you in my direction -- get you away from nicole . eric : yeah , but i 'm not sure he knew what happened between nicole and me when he spoke to you . i 'm not surprised , but i just do n't think it was right for him to make you think ... jennifer : no , you do n't t have to worry about me . i mean , i can make my own decisions . eric : jennifer , it 's still not right how -- jennifer : i knew that things were over between the two of us . i know that . we 've moved on . you will always be such an important part of my life because of everything that we 've been through . eric : jennifer ... jennifer : yeah . eric : i think i 'm gon na take a shower . i do n't want you to be late for your meeting . jennifer : yeah . why do n't you take a donut for the road ? eric : i will , but you have to make a promise and not tell anyone . jennifer : your secret is safe with me . paul : do you think the isa would go for it ? could we offer xander a deal ? john : son , you know how much i want to clear sonny . i mean , i would n't be here with you if i did n't . paul : yeah , but if we could prove that victor hired xander to kill deimos , then we could get sonny free . john : yeah , well , all we got is xander 's word , and hell , that 's practically worthless . paul : yeah , but , i mean , he 's not gon na talk unless we can get him immunity . i mean , is n't that worth taking a chance at saving sonny ? john : you know , son , if it were up to me , maybe . the isa -- never gon na go for it . xander : what 's all the chatter ? do we have a deal or not ? john : nope . no deal . xander : you 're just gon na walk away ? john : unless you make a full confession right now and you give me solid proof . xander : why would i give you anything ? if you do n't want to help me , why the hell should i want to help sonny ? paul : tell the truth , xander . xander : the truth ? okay . i hope sonny enjoys his date with the electric chair . bonnie : that face . we could be twins . hattie : i know . bonnie : why , if i did n't know any better , i 'd say i was looking at a picture of me , except i 'd never be caught dead in that hideous outfit . hattie : yeah , well , see , here 's the hard part . if you 're gon na play this woman , this adrienne woman , you 're gon na have to dress like her too . bonnie : oh , hells no . hattie : yeah . even if your freedom depends on it ? bonnie : okay . let me ask you a question . why are you so keen to get me out of here ? what 's in it for you ? hattie : well , it 's kind of a package deal . you know , you become adrienne , and i got to become that snooty dr . evans . bonnie : shut up . hattie : you shut up ! [ both laughing ] bonnie : whoo ! hattie : so the thing is , it 's a chance for both of us to be living our dreams . bonnie : oh , hattie . hattie : yeah . i know , bons . what do you think ? should we do it ? ( vo ) more `` doing chores for mom `` adrienne : okay , marlena . see you soon , okay ? marlena : oh . hey , wait , wait . adrienne : what ? marlena : how 'd your appointment go ? adrienne : oh , it went great . my numbers are good , and the recovery from my surgery was right on track . marlena : i 'm so pleased for you . tell lucas to take you out and celebrate . adrienne : you know , i 'm gon na do that . thanks . and i was thinking maybe i could take you up on that talk sometime soon . marlena : well , i hope you do . adrienne : just with everything that 's going on in my life , i could really use every friend i can get right now . marlena : i want you to count me as one of them . adrienne : thank you . thank you . bonnie : i got to hand it to you . that 's a pretty spectacular plan . you come up with that all on your lonesome ? hattie : yeah , i had a little help . bonnie : from whom ? hattie : oh , i love it when you do that . uh , boss lady wo n't let me tell you till you 're , you know -- till you 're part of the plan . so what do you say ? are we gon na do it ? bonnie : i do n't know . i do n't know if we can pull that off . i mean , i do n't even know this adrienne chick . hattie : yeah , well , i can handle that part . honey , we 've got to get you out of this hellhole . bonnie : and back at old red . hattie : yeah . old red . bonnie : you know , i dusted that woman 's stupid figurine collection for years , and if i ever accidentally broke one of them ugly things , man , it was like the world had come to an end . hattie : yeah , she should never have treated you like that . bonnie : no , she should n't have . in fact she did n't care about me or mickey -- only herself -- and it 's time that worm turned . hattie : ooh . are you saying that we 're doing it ? bonnie : oh , yeah , baby . it 's time for these leopards to change their stripes . [ both cackling and growling ] brady : jen , was maggie expecting you , or ... jennifer : no . i 'm not here to see maggie . brady : is there a problem ? jennifer : yeah . my problem is you . nicole : [ cries softly ] [ sobs ] come on . you do n't even have a stupid tissue ? [ tense music ] nicole : what ?	xander implied that victor could have killed deimos and let sonny take the fall for it . john and paul did n't agree . victor told brady and nicole that he was going to confess to killing deimos to get sonny out of jail . xander told john and paul that victor got him out of jail to kill deimos . john questioned why he was back in jail . hattie told bonnie that she could get her out of jail . hattie told bonnie that they could get revenge on maggie . maggie showed nicole and brady pics of holly . nicole got sad because she was missing so much of holly 's life .
steve : sweetness ? kayla : i 'm right here . steve : [ grunts ] kayla : how are you feeling ? steve : like i - i got a wad of cotton between my ears . kayla : that 's the anesthesia wearing off . you 'll be back to your old self in no time . steve : does that mean the surgery worked ? kayla : well , the engineer was very , very optimistic . he said that the bionic eye is functioning perfectly . and the surgical team had no trouble connecting it to your optic nerve . steve : well , sounds like everything 's good . unless you mind being married to a cyborg . kayla : [ chuckles ] no . i am willing to live with it . steve : so am i . if it means i get to see you again . kayla : well ... should we take the bandage off and find out ? steve : okay . claire : hey , tripp , i - i heard your dad was out of surgery . tripp : yeah , yeah , they just brought him back to his room a little while ago . they said the procedure went well , so i 'm just waiting to go see him . claire : okay . well , i can wait with you . um ... so , ciara came by the loft . tripp : she - she did ? when ? claire : uh , when i was on the phone with you . that 's why i had to go all of a sudden . tripp : and how did she seem ? claire : uh , still really angry at the world . actually , i take that back , she was angry at everyone except for ben weston . you 're right . she totally developed some really weird bond with that guy . [ suspenseful music ] rafe : you see , we 've already been over this , ben . fire marshal says someone intentionally set that fire . hope : and not only did you have access to the cabin , you also have a history of setting it on fire . rafe : mm - hmm . [ suspenseful music ] hope : why not just make it easier on yourself ? the judge will be a lot more lenient if you just tell the truth and confess . ted : and why would my client confess when he 's not guilty ? rafe : who are you ? his lawyer ? ted : and i 'm advising him not to say another word till at least we get a chance to confer . rafe : huh . what 's the going rate for selling your soul , hmm ? what 's he paying you ? ted : for the record ? six hundred dollars an hour . but mr . weston is not the one who hired me . hope : then who did ? ciara : me . rafe : what ? [ dramatic music ] [ doorbell dings ] stefan : gabi . back so soon ? gabi : not by choice . you forgot to sign the gabi chic papers . stefan : i guess i kinda left in a hurry , did n't i ? i 'll sign it now . gabi : so , what happened when you got to the clinic ? were you able to talk abigail out of getting that abortion ? chad : uh - oh , this ... sounds serious . abigail : i do n't know how to tell you this . chad : what is it ? abigail : i 've been keeping something from you . chad : okay . abigail : oh , god . chad : abby , you 're , uh , you 're starting to scare me . abigail : i 'm pregnant . [ dramatic music swells ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] [ dramatic music ] stefan : [ clears throat ] got to the clinic just in time . gabi : and ? stefan : and it took some convincing , but ... she decided to keep the baby . gabi : convincing , that 's a dimera term for threatening ? stefan : i made her see the truth ... that if she 's gon na accept her alter as part of herself , she has to accept her choices as well , which means ... accepting my child . gabi : that 's pretty impressive considering she hates your guts . stefan : part of her does . part of her still loves me . and that part of her will live on through this child . gabi : yeah . ca n't imagine chad being very happy about this . stefan : we 'll find out soon enough , wo n't we ? i 'm sure she 's telling him as we speak . [ suspenseful music ] chad : you 're pregnant ? abigail : chad , it -- chad : whoa , whoa , whoa ! abigail : no -- chad : [ laughing ] are you kidding me ? you 're preg -- we just -- we were just talking about having a baby . now you 're pregnant ? whoa , why - why that -- babe , you -- you 're not happy ? abigail : no . chad : w - why ? this is ama -- what ? this is amazing . abigail : it 's not yours . it 's stefan 's . any object . any surface . kayla : you ready ? steve : ready as i 'll ever be . kayla : okay . [ suspenseful music ] how does that feel ? steve : [ sighs ] feels okay . kayla : [ sighs ] steve : but i ca n't see anything . i ca n't see anything at all . claire : so ciara was just going on and on about how she would 've died on the side of the road or something equally tragic if ben had n't found her . you know , it 's weird , it 's like he 's her knight in shining armor . tripp : yeah , or maybe she has stockholm syndrome . claire : is that where you think that some crazy guy 's totally normal ? 'cause if it is , then i - i think she definitely does have that . tripp : yeah , and the only problem is i do n't know how to cure her . claire : maybe you should try talking to her ? tripp : yeah , i think the operative word there is `` try . `` she 's still mad about finding you and me together . claire : okay , tripp , i have a really weird question . you do n't think that ciara has feelings for ben , do you ? tripp : what ? no . why - why would you say that ? claire : okay . look , tripp , i told you , it was a weird question , okay ? it 's just the way that she 's talking about him . you know , it 's like , she 's really attached to ben , and i kind of suggested that the reason that she 's into him is because after what happened with chase , she just does n't think that she deserves anyone normal . tripp : what 'd she say ? claire : oh , she read me the riot act for daring to give her advice , but , to be honest , i think i hit a nerve . [ discordant music ] hope : why , ciara ? why in god 's name would you hire an attorney for ben ? ciara : 'cause he needed help . rafe : help ? ciara : and he did n't have anyone else . rafe : where did you even get the money ? ciara : when i turned 21 , i finally got access to the first part of that trust fund grandpa vic set up for me . it 's my money , mom , and i can spend it any way i want . hope : and this is how you 're going to spend it , defending a convicted criminal ? how the hell do you live with yourself ? ciara : mom , stop . hope : no , i will not stop , after what he tried to do to you . ciara : he did n't do anything to me . you do n't have any proof that he set that fire . it was an accident . hope : an accident ? well , ben obviously decided not to share the whole story with you , honey . ciara : what do you mean ? hope : we got back the preliminary report from the fire marshal . the fire was deemed suspicious , meaning it 's likely it was intentional . [ dramatic music ] gabi : i know you never met stefano . stefan : look , look , if you 're gon na tell me i should consider myself lucky , save it . gabi : no , actually , i was gon na tell you that maybe you should try to learn more about him . find out what kind of father he was , and then you can be the exact opposite . stefan : i never met the man , but i 've heard quite a bit about how he treated his children . specifically how he wanted to control them . gabi : oh , he was much more than controlling . he was manipulative and cruel . stefan : look , gabi , you do n't have to fear for the life of my unborn child , okay ? i 'm very much looking forward to becoming a father . i consider it an opportunity to make up for my own childhood . i plan on being very involved , very hands - on . there , that should -- that should do it . gabi : listen , i 'm sorry about the mix - up , with the gabi chic papers and the paternity tests -- stefan : oh , please , gabi , there was no mix - up . [ dramatic music ] chad : it ... is stefan 's ? abigail : i 'm sorry . chad : that was -- that was -- abigail : three months ago . yeah . that 's how far along i am . chad : i mean -- okay , but you and i were together . we were together when i - i took you home from the police station . abigail : i know . i know . chad : three months ago . abigail : i know . you have no idea how much i do n't want this to be true . i just wanted to come , and i wanted to tell you that it was yours , and i just wanted to give you an answer . and i went , and i got a paternity test done , and i ... [ cymbal shimmering ] i 'm so sorry . [ dramatic music ] sometimes , bipolar i disorder kayla : thanks again , hank . well . that was good news . steve : [ grunts ] my progress is well within the normal limits . kayla : you heard what he said . he said that your - your optic nerve is still healing , and that 's why it 's taking a little time for it to sync up with the bionic eye . steve : i guess we 'll just have to wait and see . too bad i 'm no good at waitin ' . kayla : he said he 'd be back in 24 hours . and , after all these months , what 's - what 's - what 's one more day ? steve : you 're right , baby . and it 's gon na be a good day . tripp : hey . just wanted to come and check in on the patient . kayla : hi . steve : hey , tripp . tripp : hey , can you see me ? kayla : uh -- steve : not yet . kayla : no , um , your dad 's optic nerve is still trying to adjust to the bionic eye . but the engineer was just here , and he said it 's to be expected , so there 's no reason not to be optimistic . tripp : yeah , your brain 's probably just still trying to figure out this new upgrade . kayla : listen , i have a few more questions for the engineer , so i 'm gon na try to catch up with him . tripp : okay . kayla : good to see you , tripp . tripp : good to see you . steve : those fries i smell ? tripp : yeah , i even brought hot sauce . steve : ooh . just what the doctor ordered . tripp : yeah , so how 're you doing ? steve : i 'm , uh ... i 'm still a little groggy , but a hundred percent . minus the eyeball . how 're you doin ' ? tripp : i 'm good . i 'm good . steve : no , you 're not . i can hear it . something 's wrong . tripp : dad , this is n't the time . steve : no ? what 're we supposed to do , just sit around here , making small talk ? wait for me to see ? the hell with that . just tell me what 's going on . tripp : it 's ciara . steve : oh , i thought so . i heard she was back . tripp : yeah . yeah , she is . which is why i was hoping that we could work things out . steve : did n't go like you hoped ? tripp : no , definitely not . nope , i 'm starting to think that our relationship is just a lost cause . ciara : you knew about that report , and you did n't tell me ? ben : sorry . i was afraid you would n't believe me . rafe : yeah , it kind of makes you wonder what else he 's keeping from you . ben : ciara , i swear to god , i have no idea how that fire started , but i had nothing to do with it . i would never hurt you , you know that . ted : ben is not the only one who knew about the fire marshal report . that 's right . i read the report . and while the marshal said that the fire could have been suspicious , he did n't point to any definite cause . a lot of possible evidence , but really nothing conclusive . rafe : mm - hmm . yeah , well . it 's a preliminary report . ted : right , right . but if the case was so open - and - shut , well , do you think there would be at least one shred of evidence that would link my client to that fire ? rafe : right , right . so , uh , if your client did n't do it , who did ? now , you do realize that no one lives within a 5-mile radius of that cabin . ted : since when an arsonist has to live in the area ? as far as i 'm concerned , it could be someone from salem . someone who has something to gain by framing my client . rafe : [ laughs ] framing . okay . let 's say you 're right . let 's say he was framed . how exactly would someone do that , because ... he just happened to run into ciara . no one knew that he had taken her to that cabin . ted : perhaps he was framed after the fact . hope : excuse me , what are you suggesting ? ted : what makes me a very good lawyer is that i do my research . and i found out that you tried your damnedest to keep my client from being released from shady hills . maybe you resented the fact that he was a free man . so , you decided the best way to bring him back into custody was to make sure he was to be blamed for that fire . guys , after all , we both know this is not the first time you 've been involved in an illegal cover - up . [ dramatic music ] gabi : what 're you talking about ? it was obviously a mix - up . stefan : right , right , you just , uh , happened to hand me the results of abigail 's paternity test . gabi : i was trying to hand you the gabi chic contracts , and i got the wrong paper . abigail told me that you were her baby 's father in confidence . why would i want to expose her secret ? stefan : because you wanted me to stop her from ending the pregnancy . gabi : okay , and why would i help you ? you 've ruined my life . if anything , i want to hurt you . stefan : i certainly wo n't argue that . maybe it , uh , was n't about hurting me . maybe it was about hurting abigail . [ suspenseful music ] chad : you 're pregnant with , uh ... with stefan 's child ? abigail : i 'm sorry . i just keep thinking , i wish i would n't have ever even gotten the test , i mean ... i just , i wanted to put this whole night and everything with stefan behind us , and ... i wanted to give you some good news , and ... i made it worse . i mean , baby , i would do anything to change these results , you have -- you have to know that . the last thing that i want is to go and have stefan 's baby . i mean , i went to a clinic today because i was gon na end the pregnancy . chad : why did n't you ? abigail : because i spoke to someone who made me realize i could n't do it . chad : who ? abigail : stefan . rafe : i 'd watch my mouth if i were you . accusations against the commissioner are not taken lightly in this department . ted : wow . detective , are you threatening me ? rafe : maybe . hope : no . no one is threatening anyone here . but if you are suggesting that someone in this department set your client up , you better have proof . ted : well , that 's the great thing about being a defense attorney . i do n't need proof . and right now , i 'm just pointing out the fact that it could be many different explanations for what happened that night . railroading my client to fit your theories is unhelpful to anyone -- hope : your client has exhibited a pattern of behavior very similar to this crime in the past . he once before set fire to the very same cabin , and that is enough to make him a suspect . ted : not enough to hold him without charging him . i mean , unless you have uncovered evidence that would directly implicate him . rafe : no . we do not have evidence that directly implicates him . ted : then i 'm gon na have to ask da trask to release my client immediately . hope : and i 'm gon na make sure she refuses . rafe . keep an eye on him ? rafe : mm - hmm . do n't worry . he 's not going anywhere . hope : ciara ? ciara : i 'm not going anywhere either . mr. laurent ? shall we ? ben : i should 've just told you everything , and i 'm sorry that i didn't . ciara , just please ... tell me you still believe me . [ sighs ] stefan : you said it yourself , gabi . abigail told you the truth in confidence . for all i know , she had no intention of telling chad she was -- she was pregnant . now , spilling her secret to me , that puts a pretty big , uh , wrench in the game , do n't you think ? gabi : abigail 's my friend . why would i want to hurt her ? stefan : because she hurt you . sent you to prison . well , i -- well , her alter did . gabi : with your help . stefan : i played a part . but her false testimony , ultimately , that 's -- that 's what sends you to prison . if it was n't for -- if it was n't for abigail , your , uh , cell mate would 've never beat you up , right ? which apparently has left you barren , yes ? gabi : i might not be able to have children anymore , yes . stefan : right . whatever , my point is , is that if it were me , i 'd hold a pretty big grudge . gabi : right , well , i 'm not you . and abigail was not in her right mind when she said that . and i 'm not gon na blame her for something that she did n't even know was happening . stefan : [ groans ] gabi , that 's very , very good . very ... convincing . you 've obviously been rehearsing all the right things to say . gabi : i do n't need to rehearse anything . but you 're right about something : there is someone to blame for everything that 's happened to me , and that person happens to be you . stefan : then why are you working with me ? gabi : well , because , as much as i may hate you , and i hate you , i love my company that much more . and it 's the only way that i can run it . stefan : let me make sure i understand this . i ... help gabby , and i 'm the root of all evil ? abigail gets a free pass . gabi : abigail 's my dear friend . i only want what 's best for her . [ dramatic music ] chad : you told stefan about the baby ? abigail : no , he - he found out by accident , and then he managed to show up at the clinic . chad : and - and he convinced you to keep it ? abigail : he made me realize some things . chad : like what ? abigail : like , when you have did , your alters exist to help you deal with -- the parts of yourself that you 're ashamed of . chad : i - i do n't care about the dids ! stop using all these dids as an excuse ! abigail : i understand ! i understand that this is hard for you , but if i 'm going to be integrated , i 've got ta accept those parts of me ! chad : give me a break . abigail : i do ! because it was n't just me . the truth is , i did it . the baby is not gabby 's , it 's mine ! chad : and stefan 's ! abigail : what does that mean ? what does that even mean ? chad : you keep using -- using these alters as an excuse . are you sure that it 's not just that you 're in love with stefan ? for mild - to - moderate eczema , tripp : you know , i was so excited when i heard ciara was back in town , and i thought i was finally gon na get the chance to make things up to her . but she did n't want to talk to me . and after i insulted ben , forget about it . steve : ben weston ? tripp : yeah . yeah , can you believe that ? it 's like she thinks this guy walks on water , and she does n't blame him for the fire or anything else that happened . steve : have you had a chance to talk to her since ? tripp : yeah , well , i 've tried like a million times . called , texted , but i have n't gotten anything back . steve : well , like i told you , ciara 's stubborn . like her old man was . rest his soul . you just let her know that you ... still care about her and that you 'll be there when she is ready . tripp : that 's enough ? steve : sure , it is . you know , when kayla and i first got together , i did everything i could to push her away . but she never gave up on me . i thank god she didn't . 'cause all these years , she 's been my anchor . you could be ciara 's . [ mysterious music ] claire : aunt kayla , hi . how is uncle steve ? can he see ? kayla : uh , no , not yet . but it 's still early . i - i just met with the engineer , and he said there 's just no reason to be alarmed . claire : okay , well , i will keep thinking good thoughts just in case . kayla : thank you . i appreciate that . claire : mm - hmm . kayla : is everything all right ? claire : what ? oh , yeah . yeah , i 'm fine . kayla : are you sure about that ? claire : yeah . yes . you 've got enough on your mind already . kayla : listen to me . we are family . i am here for you like you are here for me . and , you know what , i could use a distraction . claire : [ laughs ] well , okay . um ... have you ever been into a guy who was into some other girl ? kayla : mm . david banning . claire : seriously ? kayla : seriously . he was the center of my universe . until he dumped me for renee dimera . claire : how 'd you get over it ? kayla : well , i did n't at first . in fact , i pined for him for a long time , just wanting to get back together with him . and then i think i finally just realized that david and i were n't meant to be . and you know what , it 's a good thing , 'cause i would 've never met your uncle steve . claire : okay . well , then , do you think that there 's still maybe some hope for me ? think that i can find someone who loves me as much as uncle steve loves you ? kayla : i am sure of it . [ tender music ] stefan : no matter how it happened , i 'm very grateful that i found out about abigail 's pregnancy before it was too late . gabi : so . she 's keeping the baby . did you guys talk about custody and visitations ? anything like that -- stefan : i 'm sure we 'll come to some kind of agreement . gabi : chad is gon na be thrilled about this . stefan : i do n't care how chad feels . he ca n't keep me from being a part of my child 's life . gabi : and , what , you think you can keep him out of the picture , is that it ? stefan : my only concern is for this child . gabi : right . your connection . your only connection to gabby . the b - b - y one . stefan : right . gabi : i know how much you 've , uh ... missed her . and now that she 's back in your life , except -- stefan : except what , gabi ? gabi : well , abigail 's not gabby , the b - b - y one . stefan : why are you pointing this out to me ? gabi : they 're one and the same . i was just wondering . since you ca n't have gabby ... is it abigail you want ? [ dramatic music ] abigail : i do not love stefan . i can barely even stand the man , chad . you have got ta know that i love you . chad : oh , well , gabby loves stefan , and apparently , gabby 's a part of you . abigail : gabby freakin ' knew how to play the piano , okay ? i 'm at my grandma 's house -- chad : piano ? who cares ? abigail : it does n't -- whatever , the point is , not everything about gabby stayed with me . chad : except that . so when you ... and stefan talked about the baby , did you guys figure out how it was all gon na work ? he gon na move in with us ? we gon na be a happy family ? he 's gon na get it on wednesday , we get it on sunday ? did you guys figure all that out ? abigail : it 's too soon for that , and i would never make a decision like that without talking to you first . chad : except this one . abigail : you are my husband . you are the man that i want to live my life with . chad : i 'm just not your child 's father . abigail : you 're not his biological father , no . but you are gon na be a father in all of the ways that count , and ... unless you do n't want to . [ somber music ] chad : do you have any -- do you have any idea how hard it has been for me to try to ... forget that you slept with stefan ? do you ? to try to pretend like i did n't walk in on my wife with another man ? you know how hard that 's been ? and now you 're asking me to raise his child ? you want me to have ... abigail : i 'm sorry . chad : you want me to have a daily reminder ? of what happened ? kayla : hey ! steve : hey . kayla : you did n't save any fries for me ? steve : no . afraid tripp and i polished 'em off . kayla : ah . thanks a lot . steve : sorry . so , did the engineer have any good news ? kayla : well , i asked him to double - check all his data from the most recent trials . there were several simulations where the eye did n't begin to work for a few hours . steve : how many hours has it been ? kayla : i do n't see that it would hurt to check again . i 'm , uh , i 'm gon na shine a light in your eye , all right ? steve : okay . kayla : could be bright . anything ? steve : it 's totally dark . well . he said he 'd be back in 24 hours , right ? kayla : right . twenty - four hours . steve : mm - hmm . kayla : so . how was tripp ? how 's he doin ' ? steve : he 's having a little trouble with his love life . kayla : so is claire . i just saw her . gave her some advice . steve : i did the same with tripp . kayla : you think it worked ? steve : i hope so . [ uplifting music ] claire : tripp , hi . um , so i - i just talked to my aunt kayla . i guess the eye is taking a little bit longer to work than they expected ? tripp : yeah . yeah , yeah , but they 'll have a better idea by tomorrow , so i think i 'm just gon na go home . claire : okay , well , before you do , there 's something that you should know . ciara is coming back to live with us at the loft . tripp : she is ? claire : mm - hmm . tripp : well , maybe she has n't really written me off . maybe - maybe she can still forgive me . [ uncertain music ] ciara : so the fire marshal was n't sure if the fire was set on purpose ? rafe : no . can you think of another explanation ? ciara : it 's just ... ben took care of me . he cooked me dinner . he made sure that my leg was n't bothering me . i mean , he was the one who saved me in the first place . why would he try to kill me ? rafe : i know , it does n't make sense . you did say that he was off his meds . ciara : no . that 's not it . i mean , yeah , he freaked out for a minute , but ... i got through to him . i know i did . rafe : hmm . you two , uh ... you got close ? ciara : we talked about a lot of things . things that i 've never talked about with anyone . i 'm pretty sure he has n't either . after a while , i started to see him as a friend . rafe : yeah . abigail thought that way too .

[ sighs ] even if he 's totally wrong for you . eve : you do n't seem to have a very high opinion of me , do you ? paige : i 'm the one who has to listen every time it all falls apart . i 'm the one who has to put up with you warning me about boys and how they only want one thing . eve : sweetheart , i just want you to be careful . i just want you to wait until the right guy comes along . that 's all . paige : what if i want the same thing for you ? eve : i guess i , uh , should take my own advice , should n't i ? i 'm just not too good at being alone , sweetheart , you know ? paige : i 'm sorry if i came down on you . eve : no , you did n't . you go . you go have fun . go on your date , all right ? go . go , go , go , go , go . paige : mom , i love you . eve : i love you so much . i love you . daniel : jj , your mom knows she has your love and support , no matter what , and you know that you have hers . so you just need to concentrate on you and paige . right there , that 's what your mom wants . jj : yeah . you know , you 're right . it 's just , the thing is , daniel , is that my mom is really trying not to drag me into this mess . it 's just , i 'm not sure paige 's mom is doing the same thing . daniel : okay , i ca n't even begin to speculate on eve donovan 's thought process , but from what i can tell , she really loves her daughter , and i hope she knows the best thing for paige is just to -- to keep her out of this . jj : you know , i , um -- i heard that , uh , you were spending time with eve . daniel : oh , yeah ? you just happened to hear that , did you ? no , no , no . she is no longer my patient , so i do n't even have to see her . jj : good . i 'm -- i 'm glad . daniel : good . [ both laugh ] jj : but , um ... daniel : but , um ... jj : how are you and mom ? like -- nicole : of course i 'm sorry about you and daniel . i know the reason you broke up is because of something i did to eric , and i just wanted to say that i truly regret that . jennifer : well , maybe you mean it , and maybe you do n't , but i do n't have time to figure it out . i just need you to leave me alone right now . nicole : fine . okay . but there 's nothing to figure out . i 'm just trying to take responsibility for my actions , which is more than i can say about you . eric : has the church come to a definite conclusion ? white : i wish that i could say yes . eric : but you ca n't . white : you stated that most of the evidence that proves kristen dimera drugged you has been destroyed . eric : i know . white : and what you were able to provide was heavily tampered with . eric : yes . white : i 'm 100 % in your corner . i do n't doubt your innocence in the least . eric : that means a lot to me . white : but this case has already received considerable publicity , and whatever final decision the church makes will be heavily scrutinized in the press . so since there is no clear - cut answer , a rather drastic step must be taken . eve : honey , i -- i know that i 've been a hypocrite also about lecturing you about boys . it 's just that i love you so much , and i just do n't want to see you get hurt the way that i 've been hurt . so if i do n't take my own advice , i hope that you will . paige : do as i say , not as i do . eve : and i know you like jj , and i can even see why . you just be careful right here . right here with your heart . do n't you ever do anything that you do not want to do because you 're afraid of losing him . okay , sweetheart ? unless , of course , you want to end up like me . paige : [ sighs ] i 'll be careful . i promise , okay ? daniel : look , i will always care about your mom , and that 's really all i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na say about that . jj : 'cause it 's none of my business ? daniel : no , i care about you too and abigail . but this really is between your mother and me . jj : i just -- i just wish there was some way to fix it , you know ? 'cause just a few months ago , man , we were -- we were happy , and everything just felt right . has n't been like that since my dad died . every time i think about that time , it just makes me crazy . [ sighs ] daniel : look , jj , i 'm -- i am so sorry . jj : no , it 's just not you and mom . abigail ... [ whistles ] she 's in a mess , you know ? and paige is leaving for stanford soon . i feel like everything is , you know , falling apart . daniel : and you feel like it 's gon na stay that way forever , right ? yeah , no , no . look , i 've been there , man . i 've been there . i get it . i get it . but the bad times , jj , they do n't -- they do n't last either . i think the key is to just -- you cherish the good moments right when they 're happening . jj : yeah , if you say so . yeah , i do . and do n't worry about paige going away . you enjoy the time that you have together right now . you make the most of it . the future -- the future , man , it will work itself out . nicole : look , i do n't know the details of your latest breakup , but what i do know is daniel is a good man , and he is loyal to a fault . so my gut tells me that you are the one that screwed everything up . hard to deny , is n't it ? yet here you are , judging me , not giving me a minute of your time , when in reality , you messed up every bit as badly as i did . jennifer : know what , nicole ? do n't undersell yourself , because i could never cause the same kind of pain and destruction that you have . as hard as i tried , i could never do it . nicole : well , that 's not exactly true because i saw daniel today , and he looked pretty destroyed to me . jennifer : you know what , nicole , you could just walk out of my life right now , please . aiden : excuse me , ladies . ladies , you may want to take this outside . people are staring . nicole : i was just leaving . you know , jennifer , i think my first instinct was right . maybe you 're not good enough for daniel . white : i know that what i 've told you may seem a bit extreme ... eric : this is , uh , not the news i was expecting . white : but if you do what you 've been asked to do , there 's a very good chance things will work out in your favor . eric : so you said . before i agree to do anything , i 'd like to discuss it with brother timothy . white : you need guidance ? eric : yes , your excellency , i do . maggie : brady , have you been to a meeting ? brady : more than one , maggie . this has been quite a wake - up call for me . you know , i have n't even been tempted since this whole thing happened . maggie : well , you hit bottom , and now you have a sincere desire to change . that 's the first step . i 'm so proud of you . brady : how can you say that to me ? after the way i talked to you , how can you say that to me ? maggie : that was the booze and the cocaine talking . brady : maggie , i was so loaded , i do n't even remember what i did to him . and now i get to live with it for the rest of my life . theresa : you know , i was the one who was by brady 's side , protecting him and taking care of him . victor : oh , save your righteous indignation for shane donovan and the bradys . if my grandson was n't a rich man , you would have left him face down in the gutter . theresa : that is not true . victor : and as long as we 're talking about money , you 're not going to get a dime of his . brady : what 's going on here ? so , duke , what do you think of our new bush 's baked beans video game ? jj : hey . paige : hey . jj : you look great . paige : thanks . so what movie do you want to see ? jj : i was thinking that maybe we could stay in because abigail just went out , and mom 's at a meeting with , um ... paige : her lawyer ? jj : i just -- i do n't want to get in -- paige : me neither . i 'm so sick of talking about that lawsuit and our moms . jj : yeah , me too . paige : i just want to have a good time . jj : so what do you want to do ? paige : mmm ... staying here by ourselves -- that sounded like a pretty good idea . theresa : your grandpa was just , uh , welcoming me to the family . victor : how you holding up ? brady : as well as can be expected . if you do n't mind , i would like to talk to her alone , please . victor : oh , we hardly had a chance to -- maggie : that 's fine . it 's fine , brady . brady : so what did he say ? did he threaten to destroy you ? theresa : [ chuckles ] i can handle him . brady : yeah , you 're probably one of the only people that can . theresa : so , um , what did you want to talk about ? brady : i 'm pretty sure you know . abe : hey ! hi , i thought you two were in europe . victor : we were . maggie : but then we heard about john . abe : yeah , it 's a terrible thing . uh , look , have you seen brady ? maggie : he has n't left the hospital since it happened . victor : what do you want to see him for ? abe : oh , i just have some questions , you know , about what went on last night . victor : what kind of questions ? daniel : hey ! maggie : hi ! daniel : hey , i did n't know you were back . hey , abe . abe : hey . maggie : hi . daniel : hi . maggie : how 's john ? daniel : well , uh , no change . maggie : oh , dear . daniel : yeah . uh , if you want to talk about it , i 'm off duty and -- victor : actually , i want to hang out just in case brady needs me . would you mind driving maggie home ? daniel : no , no , not at all . are you , uh -- are you ready to go ? maggie : uh , i 've seen john . i 've talked to brady . i guess there 's nothing more for me to do . i 'll see you at home . daniel : all right , come on , mom . all right , take it easy , abe . maggie : okay , bye , abe . victor : tell me you 're not here to arrest my grandson . white : thank you for coming on such short notice . nicole : this is about eric , right ? i 've already told you everything i know . white : yes , and you 've been most helpful . nicole : okay , have they made a decision ? does eric get to be a priest again ? white : that has n't been determined . nicole : and it does n't make any difference that the so - called victim is kristen dimera , and she 's dropped out of sight and on the run ? white : that ca n't be proven . nicole : [ sighs ] white : and neither can eric 's statements since most of the evidence to support it has either been destroyed or compromised . nicole : no disrespect , your excellency , but what does the committee -- who do they think they are ? a forensics lab ? okay , i 'm sorry . i just -- i get a little hostile when something is my fault . you must think i 'm an awful person . white : it is n't for me to judge . nicole : well , eric sure has . he 's made it pretty clear that he hates me and he 's never gon na forgive me for what i did . paige : were you playing before i got here ? jj : yeah , daniel was here , and he gave me that guitar , so i was playing it for him . paige : so you two talked ? jj : yeah , i actually , uh , asked him about him and your mom . paige : why ? jj : well , after she was hitting on him today , i just -- i wondered if she was hitting on him to get back at my mom , so -- paige : my mom -- she did n't know daniel used to be your mom 's boyfriend . jj : like , you did n't tell her ? paige : no , why would i ? she saw him as a doctor and thought he was nice . [ sighs ] jj : all right . paige : and , you know -- when she , like -- she 's interested in a guy or whatever , she does n't exactly play hard to get . but she was n't trying to upset your mom . jj : okay . all right . paige : you hungry ? jj : you know , i was , but then you came here and -- poof , nobody was home , and all of a sudden , i did n't give a damn about food . paige : mm , me neither . jj : yeah . aiden : okay , so i filed a summary judgment with the court today . jennifer : all right , what is that ? aiden : i 'm asking to have the case dismissed . jennifer : do you really think that could happen ? aiden : well , it could be decided as soon as next week , and with any luck , we wo n't have to go to trial . jennifer : that would be such a relief , because i just want this over with . aiden : i know , i know . well , let 's keep our fingers crossed , all right ? jennifer : yeah . aiden : okay . jennifer : i just ca n't tell you how much i appreciate all the work that you have put into this , because i know it has taken up so much of your time . aiden : well , it 's good for me to be busy right now . keeps me out of trouble . maggie : i should n't have let him get to me , daniel . and i should n't have given up until i had gotten brady into rehab . daniel : well , you 're the one who told me that aa says if someone does n't want help , there is nothing you can do . maggie : well , he 's sober now , and he 's going to meetings . daniel : yeah , and with your support , i think he 's got a shot . maggie : you put a lot of faith in me . daniel : yes , i do . and knowing that you 're going to take care of brady makes me feel better about leaving town tomorrow . maggie : where are you going ? brady : i think we both know that we should be looking into an annulment . theresa : right . brady : marriages that start with a groom being so plastered that he does n't even remember the wedding -- they usually do n't end up turning out so well . theresa : yeah , gosh . i - i mean , i was just so high , i barely remember it myself . brady , i hope you know that i was n't trying to trap you . brady : no , i do n't think that . and you 've been great . you really have , through this whole nightmare . i - i just think , for many reasons , that we should go our separate ways , theresa . theresa : you mean we ca n't even hang out anymore , like , as friends ? brady : i hope you understand . theresa : uh , yeah . yeah , i guess i do . i -- yeah . brady : hey , hey , hey , i do n't -- it 's not even gon na be the same dynamic , theresa . i - i plan to stay sober . theresa : [ cries ] brady , look , i hope that you know that i really do care about you , and i 'm just -- [ sighs ] i am so sorry for what happened to your dad . brady : me too . theresa : [ cries ] you do n't deserve to go to prison . brady : well , that 's -- that 's up to the police department now , and if it comes down to it , i 'm gon na take responsibility for it . that 's something i have n't been doing a whole hell of a lot of lately . theresa : yeah . brady : i just pray that my dad wakes up and tells me what happened . theresa : yeah . yeah , i - i hope so too . are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? caroline : what did the bishop say ? is there any chance that you could become a priest again ? eric : mm , not yet . caroline : but there is a chance . eric : if i jump a major hurdle . caroline : well , i 've jumped a few hurdles in my life . can i be of any help ? eric : i wish , but unfortunately there 's only one person who can help me now . nicole : you still have n't told me why i 'm here . white : i 'm assuming you still want to do whatever you can to make things right for eric . nicole : course i do , but i already told you everything i know , and i 'm assuming eric gave you what was left of that crooked doctor 's records . i swear i do n't have anything else stashed away . white : and i believe you . nicole : so there 's nothing else i can do . white : you could serve as a witness . nicole : i already did . white : well , this would be quite a different situation . paige : jj ... jj : what ? no one 's gon na be here for a couple hours . paige : okay . jj : yeah . eve : do n't you ever do anything that you do not want to do because you 're afraid of losing him . okay , sweetheart ? unless , of course , you want to end up like me . paige : [ sighs ] jj ... jj : mm , you are so beautiful . paige : jj , stop . jj , i said stop . daniel : remember i told you about this medical conference i have in st. louis ?

there 's got ta be something else there that everyone else missed . rafe : no . you know as well as i do that forensics and the fire department searched every square inch of that place . they did n't find accelerant . they did n't find or anything that says that there was arson . hope : they 're not as motivated as i am . rafe : look , if ben said -- hope : no , `` if '' -- wait ! `` if `` ? `` if `` ? chloe : whoa , whoa , whoa ! guys ! guys ! if you want to beat the crap out of each other , please ... take it outside . gabi : how you doing ? abigail : oh , god . i know why they call it morning sickness . because it starts in the morning , and it just goes all day . gabi : yeah , when i was pregnant with arianna , the stress made it worse . abigail : god , i 'm in for it then . gabi : listen , i found these in the kitchen . i remember my doctor used to tell me never to leave my stomach too empty . abigail : i 'll try anything . gabi : yeah , the only down side was i gained ten pounds in my first trimester . abigail : i think my weight 's the least of my concerns . thank you . gabi : sure . abigail : look , it 's not lost on me that you 're helping me deal with morning sickness and you would give anything to have morning sickness . and i know that 's my fault . gabi : yeah , we all know that it was n't you in that courtroom . it 's what stefan did to you . i mean , he almost ruined both of our lives . abigail : you must really hate him . gabi : oh , i freaking hate his guts . but i mean , you 're the one that 's having his baby , so does that change how you feel about him ? john tyson 's motto was , hope : wait a minute . `` if `` ? are you saying you think that there 's a chance that ben did n't start the -- rafe : no . hope : well , then what are -- rafe : i am not saying that . hope : well , hear you -- rafe : and i know perfectly well what ben weston is capable of . for god 's sakes , he killed three women , one of which turned out to be my half - sister who i never got to know . so when i think of him , it makes me want to put my fist through a wall or his face . hope : of course it does . i 'm sorry . rafe : it 's okay . all i 'm saying is we do n't have enough to put him away ... yet . hope : i know . rafe : when was the last time you had something to eat ? hope : that is the last thing on my mind right now . rafe : oh , yeah ? what if i call up your favorite thai food place and i grab something to eat and you and i sit here and we go over these files and we figure out some way to put weston away ? hmm ? hope : well ... pad thai does sound kind of good , actually . rafe : okay . hope : but only if we could start with dessert ... first . ben : come sit down . ciara : if you did n't set that fire , ben , then who did ? hmm ? ben : ciara , all i know is i went to go fill my medication , and when i came back , the place was up in flames . ciara : [ sighs ] okay . you ran out of your meds when you left that night . so are you sure that you remember everything that you did ? ben : yes ! look , the wiring in that place , it was -- it was terrible . the fire could 've been an accident . ciara : yeah , okay , but would n't the fire marshal have seen that , ben ? ben : i guess . ciara : i want to believe you ... god , i really do . but i also really , really do n't want to get played again . trusting guys has n't really worked out that well for me . ben : i know what it 's like to find out you 've been lied to . and when i tell you that i would never ever hurt you ... it is the god 's honest truth . abigail : this baby in no way changes how i feel about stefan . he disgusts me . the only man i will ever love is chad . i just ... do n't know how he 's ever gon na accept this child . gabi : well , did he say anything before he left ? abigail : he said that he is afraid every time he sees this baby that he will be reminded of me in bed with his brother . gabi : [ sighs ] that 's a tough one . abigail : yeah . you 're telling me . gabi : yeah , but it was n't you . it was gabby with a y . abigail : boy , dr . laura stole your freedom and gabby stole your name . my alters did a number on you . did n't they ? gabi : chad must know that you 'd never sleep with stefan . abigail : i think he 's just afraid . i mean ... he 's afraid because now gabby 's memories are my memories , and he 's worried that i 'll feel some kind of pull toward stefan , especially now i 'm ... i mean , i 'm carrying his child . gabi : and what did you say to that ? abigail : i said that the pregnancy makes me hate stefan even more than i already did . but i just -- i do n't know if chad believes me . stefan : i know how hard this must be for you , chad , me gloating in there like that . i should not have done that . it was wrong . yeah , i should have thought about how i would feel if i found out that abigail was having your baby . chad : she was -- she was sick , and you took advantage of her . stefan : oh , come on now . we both know that i did n't force myself on gabby , who , mind you , is now a part of abigail . right ? look , we can keep beating each other up if you want , but that 's not gon na change the fact that your wife and i are having a child together . ted : did i miss telling you i liked it rough ? because i thought our slapping days were over . kate : this maniac that you 're you 're now defending tried to kill my grandson . and in my mind , that makes you eminently slap - able . ted : mm . but your grandson 's fine now . kate : no ! no , he 's not fine . he still does n't have his memory back . he lost his family . we thought he was dead . we buried him . we had a funeral . we grieved for him . he was my first grandchild . he has a very special place in my heart . and this man , this ben weston after he finished doing his very best to suffocate will , he stuffed his body in a duffel bag , and he dragged him off to the place where he was found ! ted : phew ! so if i do n't drop ben as my client ... this is just it for us ? kate : [ laughs ] i do n't know . i do n't know . but i do know that will is blood . and i know that i will stop anyone who tries to hurt my family . will : you 're right . why do n't they say what they want ? and i thought cut - out letters went out with black and white movies . sonny : in the old movies , they would do that so no one would recognize the handwriting . or be able to match a messed up key from a typewriter . will : yeah , no one uses typewriters anymore . they could 've just printed this out . it 's like they 're trying to be dramatic . sonny : if someone actually saw us put his body in his trunk , they do n't have to work very hard to be dramatic . will : that 's true . maybe they 're enjoying torturing us . sonny : wait a minute . will : what ? sonny : what you just said . i think i know who left that for you . my mom 's pain from will : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm waiting . who do you think it was ? sonny : what if it was leo ? will : uh , have you forgotten that leo is dead ? sonny : have you forgotten people thought you were dead ? will : sonny , i checked him more than once . he did not have a pulse . sonny : yeah , but we were -- we were freaking out , okay ? and you 're not a medical examiner . what if he was just unconscious and then he came to in the trunk of the car ? will : and then what ? he unlocked it from the inside ? sonny : it 's not impossible . what if he 's doing this to screw with us ? will : we need to get this dusted for prints . leo was an ' escort ' ... he had a record , so i mean , his prints have to be in the system , right ? sonny : i know who would do it for us in a heartbeat . will : no , forget it . sonny : will ... will : no , i do not want paul involved ... this has to stay between us . ted : kate , i 'm sorry . i owe you an apology . i took ben on as a client without thinking what that would do to you . kate : so you 'll drop him ? ted : i 'm sorry , but like i told you , everyone is entitled to a defense . and i 'm a good lawyer . kate : [ sighs ] that 's really not what i wanted to hear . ted : ben is innocent until proven guilty . and as now , the police does n't have a case against him . even if i do n't like the guy , i 'm not gon na tell him to get another lawyer . if that is a deal breaker for you , we can go our separate ways . well ... it was fun while it lasted . kate : i 'm serious . if you do anything that ends up hurting will ... ted : no . abigail : chad and i have gotten through so much together , but this ... i mean , this is different . this is my child ... this baby 's gon na be a part of our lives from now on . and how the hell do you get over that ? gabi : right . i mean , that 's why i mentioned maybe you should just have told chad that it was his from the first place . abigail : [ stammers ] i do n't even know how to live with a lie that big . i can't . gabi : i know . i know . i just -- all i know is that chad loves you as much as any man has loved a woman . i mean , any man that i 've ever seen . and i think you just have to have faith , abigail , okay ? that he 's gon na calm down and that he 's gon na learn to accept your child . chad : [ stammers ] do you have any idea how hard it is to be a father ? yeah , you walk around in circles for hours just to get 'em to stop crying you know , you 're willing to give your life for 'em just to see a smile . stefan , you do n't want a child . you want a souvenir . all right ? gabby is n't real . all right ? but i 'm ... i 'm betting my wife is . abby , she 's real . stefan : oh , no . i see what you 're doing there . but no , you 're absolutely right . i do n't know what it feels like . but i intend to be the father that i never had . you understand ? gabby may be gone , but she lives on through that child . chad : and what if she gets rid of it ? stefan : [ laughs ] well , if you 've talked to her , and i assume that you have , then you would know that that 's not happening . you need to accept that , chad . i hope that you do . but right now , i do n't know . because you keep going on and on about this great love you have with abigail . but yet , i come here and find you drinking alone at the bar while your wife is at home alone . i mean , is that what a loving husband does to his pregnant wife ? friends , colleagues , chad : what happens between abby and me will be none of your business . stefan : uh , yeah , that 's where we 're gon na have to disagree a little bit . out of respect , i must ask that you not upset the mother of my child . chad : speaking of mothers , your mother is n't around to save you anymore . you really want to do this again ?

rafe : mm . right here . hope : thanks . rafe : do you want the last spring roll ? well , technically it 's yours . hope : go for it . rafe : all right . trying to poke a hole in ben 's alibi ? hope : his story works if he walked into town and back like he said -- but if he hitched a ride to the pharmacy , then -- rafe : then he was able to start the fire and get his prescription filled . hope : and he had enough time to get back to watch ciara and the cabin go up in flames . rafe : you know what ? it stands to reason that pharmacy has a security camera in the parking lot . maybe we will get lucky and catch ben on tape . hope : rafe ? rafe : yeah ? hope : thanks . rafe : my pleasure . rafe : there 's still some sticky rice . you 're the one that loves it . hope : rafe . rafe : i 'll call the pharmacy . hope : hey . everything you 've done since ciara went missing ... rafe : i love her . i love her . she 's -- she 's a good kid . hope : thank you . rafe : yeah . pharmacy number on that statement ?

[ dramatic music ] limu emu & doug tripp : i - i did n't wan na worry you -- i just thought it 'd be easier to go through dr . shaw . kayla : but i 'm your stepmom , and worrying is part of my job . a job that i love , by the way . you wan na maybe just tell me what 's going on with you ? tripp : uh ... like i said , i have n't been sleeping that well . i keep having dreams about the fire , claire , crazy dreams , and ... i was afraid to fall asleep . ha . and there 's my guilt . kayla : guilt ? about what ? tripp : i 'm ... part of the reason claire spun out of control . i mean , my fake marriage to haley is what caused her to snap . kayla : tripp , you can not take that on yourself . there were so many contributing factors to claire 's mental illness . tripp : [ sighs ] yeah . have you heard how she 's doing at bayview ? kayla : she seems to be settling in . i know that she 's determined to get better . tripp : glad to hear that . kayla : what about haley ? have you seen her ? how 's she doing ? tripp : uh , yeah , she actually moved back in the loft . kayla : she did ? tripp : mm - hmm . kayla : i thought that your marriage was annulled . tripp : it was , it was . uh , she 's with jj now . they both moved into claire 's old room . kayla : you think that 's a good idea ? haley : ghosts ? uh , no . no ghosts , um ... i must look like one , though . i did n't really sleep that well last night . jj : i think you look as beautiful as ever . but ... you were tossing and turning . you sure everything is okay ? haley : huh ? yeah , no , i just -- new place , new sounds , you know ? so , um ... how was your shift ? jj : it 's over . ha . so how 'bout i , uh ... make you some breakfast ? haley : you 're so sweet . but i just , uh , i 'm not really hungry right now . jj : okay . then , uh ... why do n't you , uh ... just go back to our room , get some rest . [ dramatic musical sting ] haley : no . no , i ca n't ! jack : so who 's the lucky guy ? did you meet online , you swipe left or right or whatever you do ? jennifer : no , jack . he 's a doctor . his name is henry shaw . he was my date at the new years eve party when you came back from the dead and turned my life completely upside down , which was really fine before you showed up . jack : henry shaw -- i remember . nice name , nice fella . jennifer : very nice fellow . he 's very kind , he 's very honest , he 's very smart . jack : whole package -- really ? a triple threat ? you picking up where you left off ? jennifer : why would n't i ? i mean , you refused to take the serum . you do n't really care about who you were or the family that you had , and i 'm tired of convincing you . so you can just stay in wedded misery with eve , and i 'm gon na move on with my life -- a life that was very fulfilling until -- jack : until i came along in town . you already said that . jennifer : right . but it 's all true . so ... what is it you wanted to tell me ? stefan : ahh . join me ? gabi : you know what time it is ? stefan : it 's whisky o'clock . it 's been a tough day . gabi : yeah , well , at least you 're not in jail , so ... stefan : a little thing called bail , remember ? gabi : i know , i was at the police station . i offered you a ride , but instead you wanted to go harass kate . stefan : i told you that 's where i was going -- to get the truth out of her ; you did n't have a problem with it at the time . gabi : you almost got your bail revoked . stefan : you heard about that ? gabi : yep . that 's what happens when your brother works for the p.d . please tell me that kate copped to something . stefan : nothing . she seemed scared , and i called her out on it , but ... i do n't know . right when i thought she was gon na talk , she denied everything . gabi : she 's never gon na admit to lying about you , and neither is ted laurent . we need a new plan . stefan : my favorite part about that sentence ... `` we . `` as in you and me . feels good that someone finally has my back . gabi : yeah , well , your back is gon na be behind bars if we do n't get the truth , ' k ? so let 's skip the annoying , lying jerks in the middle and go straight for the jugular of the person that 's behind this all . kristen as nicole : i do n't understand what you mean . what mask ? brady : the lucha libre mask . kristen as nicole : oh , that . brady : mm - hmm . kristen as nicole : well ... word gets around . brady : yes , it does . ran into gabi . nicole , she said you answered the door wearing this mexican wrestling mask , um ... i do n't know why you would do something like that . what 's going on ? kristen as nicole : well , you know , maybe poor , sweet little gabriella hernandez should n't be pounding on people 's doors screaming and shouting and harassing them . brady : well , she was slightly offended by the whole thing , but i do n't want to talk about gabi . i want to talk about you . i 'm ... i -- i 'm concerned , nic . i mean , your behavior , it 's completely unhinged . it 's not like you . i 'm a little worried . why would you answer the door like that , nic ? i did n't have to shout out for help . gabi : the only thing that makes sense is that nicole knew ted and kate were locked in the dungeon because she put them there . stefan : you keep saying that , but how did she get them to lie and accuse me ? either she has something on them , or -- gabi : she 's making it worth their while -- is this single malt ? stefan : course . gabi : yeah . it 's not that they need much motivation , but ... okay , kate resents you for firing her , and she 's worried that you 're gon na come after her for shooting vivian . and ted , you kidnapped him and you stashed him on a remote island . stefan : and i did that at kate 's request , if you remember . gabi : i get it . the point is , they have motivation to lie . stefan : i understand , but something does n't add up . kristen as nicole : stefan tried to fire me . gabi was cheering him on , and i held it together until i got back to my room , and ... brady , i 've just been so emotional lately , since ... losing holly , and -- brady : o - of course . i understand that , nicole . kristen as nicole : i was just having a good , old - fashioned cry . and then all of a sudden , that witch started pounding on my door and demanding that i open it . but i was all puffy and red - eyed , and i - i just -- i did n't want her to see me like that . i didn't ... want her to see that she had won . so i saw the mask , and i put it on ... and opened the door hoping that i 'd scare her away . brady : it definitely worked . kristen as nicole : brady , i know it was n't the smart thing to do or the sane thing to do , but ... i did it , and i - i -- i hope you can understand . brady : i - i - i guess so . the real question is where did you get the mask in the first place ? kristen as nicole : it came from xander . eve : i guarantee you i 'm not gon na change my mind about this real serum here , so you can take this package and you can get the hell outta here , okay ? and consider this association permanently over . xander : that 's a rather rash decision , given what a great team we are -- my batman to your commissioner gordon . eve : why do n't you crawl back into that batcave you came out of ? because the only person that this commissioner cares about right now is her husband , the mayor . xander : who will never remember anything because of yours truly and some excellent sugar water . eve : well , i hope that after jack tries a couple of doses of the fake serum and he realizes that it 's not working , he 'll stop trying to get his memory back . and then we can go back to living happily ever after once and for all . jack : just right -- well -- right this ... right -- there you go . i ... i want you to know that i have been thinking a lot about what you said the other day . jennifer : i said a lot of things , and you did n't like any of them , jack . jack : you 're convinced that when i lost my memory , i lost my -- jennifer : compassion , scruples , basic humanity ? jack : that about covers it . which is why i 've decided ... jennifer : decided what , jack ? i have a date that i 'm going on . i have a date . jack : i decided to -- to -- i decided to restore your press credentials . jennifer : that is almost decent of you , jack . jack : i 'm not the monster you make me out to be . i do care about you and our children . jennifer : i really wish i could believe that . jack : you know , i may not know or remember you or jj -- jennifer : oh , stop , stop ! you have had every opportunity to remember , and you wo n't take it , so have a good life , jack . jack : have a good date ! jennifer : i will ! tripp : but , you know , when i heard jj and haley needed a place to stay , i thought it was perfect , you know , since ciara and i need to cover the rent now that claire 's gone . kayla : you know , i understand that it might make sense financially , but ... do you think it 's really a good idea for you and haley to be living together in such close quarters ? tripp : what do you mean ? kayla : i just , you know , before you with you and claire and ciara and theo -- it just , you know , it kinda got complicated . tripp : mm - hmm . kayla : and if there 's any feelings whatsoever between you and haley , it could get complicated again . tripp : look , all right , haley might be my ex - wife , but ... kayla : yeah ... tripp : the marriage was fake , okay ? we 're friends , that 's it . she 's with jj now , and i 'm happy for them . [ beep beep ] oh , my prescription 's ready at the pharmacy . kayla : uh , listen , uh , tripp . let me know how that medication works , okay , and , uh ... i mean , if it does n't work , make sure you talk to somebody . or me , maybe . tripp : it 's all good , okay ? i love you . kayla : i love you too . [ murmurs ] jj : what do you mean , you ca n't ? what 's going on ? [ tense music ] haley : [ groans / sighs ] how can i sleep if you have n't even eaten ? saving all those lives -- you must be so starving . jj : well , i -- i 've got errands to run . i was gon na grab something while i was out . haley : what kind of girlfriend would i be if i -- if i ca n't make my man an amazing breakfast ? um , let 's see , uh ... what about some fabulous , fancy , totally gourmet cereal and milk ? jj : just like i like it . but i like you ... a little better . [ knocking on door ] haley : i got it . i got it . jack : oh , hi , uh ... hi , um ... jj : her name is haley , dad . jack : uh , right . uh , haley , haley , hi . it 's , uh ... it 's nice to see you . jj : how did you know i was here ? jack : your mother . your mother told me what happened . jj : that a racist jack deveraux supporter threw us out of my apartment ? thank you . is there anything else ? jack : um ... yes , actually . i would like to talk to you alone , if ... if you do n't mind , uh , haley . jj : whatever you have to say to me , you can say it in front of my girlfriend . jack : right . uh , well , this is it , um ... wanted you to know that i had the serum made up , and i took the first dose . jj : you 're lying . gabi : what does n't add up ? stefan : nicole 's motive . it 's thin . gabi : no , i get it , it 's about holly . she 's upset that because of you , the cartel was able to get to her little girl . stefan : right , but she also blames eric and chloe and even maggie . she has insulted them , screamed at them , but she 's not trying to destroy their lives . gabi : all right , let 's look at this a different way . she wants you out of the picture -- why ? what does getting you out of the way accomplish ? dimera . stefan : oh , please , she could n't even handle a couple of days running basic black . gabi : well , i never said she was competent -- i said she 's ambitious , okay ? the point is , she 's run major corporations . maybe she sees eliminating you as a major opportunity to move up in dimera . stefan : you have a good point , which means i need to do what i started doing before i was arrested and fire her ass . gabi : i 'm not sure that 's a good idea . brady : xander gave you the lucha libre mask . w - when ? or more importantly , uh , why ? kristen as nicole : xander came by my hotel room a while ago ... begging for me to take him back . the mask ... was a gift . brady : that 's an extremely weird gift . kristen as nicole : yeah , well , xander is an extremely weird guy . he is also a huge mexican wrestling fan . brady : w -- kristen as nicole : he forced me to watch it with him when we were in nashville . he even wore the mask . brady : o - okay . that 's too much information . i do n't need to know that . kristen as nicole : just thinking about it ... i was n't his wife . i was his prisoner . i mean , that 's why i was pretending to enjoy it , but really , i was in agony . i had to ! brady : i know -- you were in that situation because of me . kristen as nicole : no . brady : and i am always going to be sorry for that . kristen as nicole : no , brady , i am free because of you . i owe you everything . brady : no , you do n't -- you do n't owe me anything . not a thing , especially because of what you had to go through . kristen as nicole : i do . and i know exactly how i 'm going to repay you . brady : we 've talked about this . kristen as nicole : i know . i understand . you do n't wan na hurt eric . i get it . so ... maybe i can show you another way how grateful i am by helping you ... by helping you take over dimera . i 've always been excited for what 's next . jennifer : yeah , i 'd like to make a reservation , uh , for two at 7 : 00 ? yeah , thanks , julie . bye - bye . hey ! kayla : hey ! table for two ? sounds like a date . jennifer : yeah , it is . kayla : dare i ask ? is it with jack ? jennifer : no . dr. shaw ! kayla : oh . jennifer : yeah . i realized that i have wasted a lot of time waiting for my ex- husband to have this epiphany that is never going to happen , so i 'm free . because jack has decided that he is never going to take that serum . jack : i 'm not lying . i took my first dose of the serum this morning . jj : mom told me you decided not to take it . jack : i changed my mind . jj : why ? jack : i wan na remember my family , jj ... my life . i thought maybe -- maybe seeing you would trigger something . jj : so you really did it ? jack : i did it . jj : you know what happened to will . is n't it risky for you to take that stuff ? jack : well , i made up the antidote , so i 'm ready at the first sign of trouble . jj : that 's no guarantee . jack : does n't matter . remembering my life , my family -- that 's worth the risk . jj : what about your new family ? jack : well ... eve has been incredibly supportive . she was actually the one who administered the serum . jj : even though you with your memory is the last thing eve wants . jack : you may think what you want about eve , jj , but , uh , she buried her daughter . memories are all she has , and she would never deny me the chance to look in my son 's eyes and remember the first time i held him . jj : do you feel the same way about remembering mom ? xander : eve donovan ... dreaming of hearts and flowers and picket fences . must be love . eve : it 's eve deveraux , and , yes , it 's love , xander . jack is the best thing that ever happened to me . that 's why there 's no way in hell i want him to get ahold of some serum that 's gon na possibly give him his memories back of that dried up old twig jennifer and have it seep right down into his brain . xander : come on . you 're sexy as hell . bit of a handful , but jack seems to enjoy that . do you really think if he recovered his memory , he 'd dump you and go running back to a mouse like jennifer ? eve : that mouse , with all those memories she whines on and on about , gives her too much power over jack , and i ca n't risk that . so the last thing i want is for jack to get his hands on the serum or rolf 's diary ever again . xander : i wish there was a serum i could give sarah horton so she 'd forget about rex . but it 's too late now . they 're already married . there 's not much i can do short of kidnapping . eve : uh , okay , all right , you know what -- that 's it . get outta here ! get outta here , and you stay out of trouble , all right ? and listen to me . you 've gotten your last `` get out of jail card `` from me -- the last one , xander . xander : we 'll see . eve : [ scoffs ] this is hal . stefan : of course firing nicole was a good idea . and if i had n't listened to abe 's kinder , gentler plan of letting her resign , she 'd already be gone . gabi : wait a second -- stefan : no , no , no , i 've got to get this crazy woman out of dimera before she buries me . gabi : what 's the old man always say -- oh , yeah . `` keep your friends close , your enemies closer . `` stefan : i can guarantee you he was n't dealing with a woman who wanted his head . gabi : i 'm just saying we give nicole a little space , okay ? she 's bound to slip up . she 's really not that smart . so we nail her , expose her , and clear you . stefan : that 's a good idea , but i ca n't have that parasite roaming the halls of dimera causing more damage . [ phone beeps ] nicole walker 's about to be eliminated . [ line ringing ] brady : you want us to take over dimera . kristen as nicole : yeah . why not ? stefan 's on his way out . andre 's dead . ej 's in no condition to run anything , and chad does n't want the job , so it 's ours for the taking , brady . i 'd still run basic black , despite stefan 's efforts . so maybe i can just convince the board to let me run the entire company . at least for a little while . and then i can easily help you mount ... a takeover . so ... what do you say ? brady : i say your plan has , uh ... one big problem attached to it . kristen as nicole : okay , whatever it is , i 'll make it go away . brady : no , this -- you can't . the dimera corporate charter dictates that the ceo has to be family . you ... you are not a dimera . [ intense music ] jennifer : when i think of all the time that i have wasted pining away for the jack that i love to return , it makes me so angry , kayla . kayla : you know , i - i ... i understand , i do . i just , you know , just hold out hope for you and jack . just like i 've been holding on to hope for me and steve . but listen , if it 's not going to happen , i 'm proud of you for taking care of yourself and doing what 's best . and listen , hey , henry is a great place to start . he 's a good guy . so go for it . jennifer : yeah , that 's exactly what i plan to do . jack : i ran into your mother . i did n't tell her i took the serum . jj : why not ? jack : she was going on a date . she was very excited . not just about the date , but about the prospect of moving on from any hope about the two of us . i -- i did n't wan na confuse her , give her any sort of ... false hope . so , if i could ask you and you , haley , please , could we -- could we just keep this between us ? i really , really -- i do n't want your mother to know that i took the serum . jj : we 've got some things to do this morning . so there 's nothing else ? hey , dad . good luck . [ emotional music ] haley : you okay ? jj : yeah . i think that was my dad actually trying to do something right . haley : want me to , uh , finish making you -- finish making you breakfast ? jj : no , it 's okay . i 'm gon na run those errands . and i want you ... [ sniffles ] to go to our bed and get some rest . [ sniffling ] haley : jj 's right , i just , um ... just need some rest , and then everything will be just -- just fine . [ ominous chords ] claire : way to lie to jj and just pretend like everything is totally fine . well , you know , you are totally stupid if you think that my boyfriend tripp can just make me go away with a couple of pills .

[ dramatic music ] philip : you want to write songs for chloe ? claire : yep , they 're already written . chloe : really ? claire : yeah . you know , not just songs . you know , i 'm always jotting down little musical phrases , like , an idea for a lyric , so i could turn them into something just for chloe . okay , look , i have n't heard you sing in a very long time , but you have a beautiful voice , and i know that i could give you just the right song . chloe : thank you , claire . philip : claire , look , i 'm sorry , but you need to stay focused on training your voice . we 'll stay focused on getting material from established songwriters for chloe , people who have chops , know how to write a hook . claire : well , i -- i write great hooks . just listen , okay ? philip : claire , this is n't personal , but we need names to get chloe noticed . claire : okay , then how about i just work for chloe ? like , as an assistant while i 'm training my voice , you know ? i can do all the jobs that nobody else wants to do . chloe : you know , philip , it would be nice to have someone we can count on once we start recording , but how do your parents feel about this ? claire : great . they would be behind it 100 % . justin : well , look who 's back from the dead . deimos : sure there are quite a few people around here that wish i had stayed that way . justin : thanks for seeing me . i hear you 've been through a lot , so you can be forgiven for not remembering , but before you disappeared , you sent me a request . deimos : hm . seems like a lifetime ago . justin : i wanted you to know that i handled it before i heard about your accident . deimos : did you ? justin : my point is ... deimos : you want me to know that you can be trusted . justin : what are your thoughts ? deimos : tell me , did you speak to victor today ? i 'm just curious if he told you that i went to see him asking for a truce . justin : that 's the first time i 've heard about that . but i 'm not surprised . he has a lot on his mind right now . deimos : plotting his revenge against me , no doubt . justin : actually , it has nothing to do with you ; his great - grandson was kidnapped . deimos : tate ? brady 's son ? justin : yeah , that 's right . deimos : he 's just a baby . my god , his parents must be ... justin : you sound like you really care . deimos : of course i care . he 's a baby . he must be terrified . he needs his mother . anyone that would do that to a child deserves to burn in hell . am not trying to pick a fight with you . i 'm not trying to purposefully disagree with you , okay ? claire just threw me for a loop . i 'm not at my best right now . i 'm sorry . shawn : well , she did kind of blow both of us out of the water . belle : so what do we do ? shawn : well , claire is convinced that she does n't need to go to college . but we know that she 's not ready to become a professional singer quite yet . i mean , come on , that could be a pretty brutal life . belle : mm - hmm . and of course , she thinks she can handle it . shawn : yeah , and we both know that she is not as tough as she thinks she is . so i agree with you . belle : really ? shawn : mm - hmm . but we ca n't make her feel like we 're trying -- we 're forcing her to go to college . we have to -- i think that we have to get her to believe that it 's her idea . belle : agreed . shawn : how the hell do we do that ? belle : [ chuckles ] i have no idea . philip : you just made someone very happy . chloe : well , i 'm happy to help . philip : let 's see how you feel about it in a couple of months . chloe : well , as long as her parents do n't have a problem with it . i mean , i do n't want to stir up any trouble with that family . philip : yeah , we would n't want that to happen , would we ? theo : so she 's singing your songs ? claire : yep . yeah , she just , like , does n't know it yet . theo : [ chuckles ] i do n't really understand . claire : well , i got chloe and philip to give me a job helping out . so then , when the time is right , i can just make sure that they hear some of my stuff . you know , it 's all about being in the right place at the right time . theo : mm - hmm . yeah . all right , well , what about philip 's promise to give you a deal ? claire : i mean , he claims that it 'll happen when he thinks i 'm ready . for now i will work on impressing chloe . theo : i mean -- hey . that 's great , claire . i 'm really happy for you . claire : thank you , theo . theo : for what ? i did n't get you the job . claire : no , but , you know , if it were n't for you , i would have never gone over and talked to them . you gave me a little push i needed . [ chuckles ] theo : really ? claire : really . theo : well , why do n't you call ciara and tell her what happened ? claire : we 're kind of not talking . theo : so you guys are still mad at each other ? claire : no . i mean , yeah . well , i do n't know . it 's kind of weird . theo : well , is she all right ? claire : yeah , yeah . i just know that she 's out of your uncle 's house and she moved back in with her mom . theo : so is she okay ? claire : yeah , yeah , like i told you , i think she kind of just got in over her head with chad . you know , i think she really liked him and now she 's realizing that he 's never gon na stop loving abigail . theo : i , uh ... i did n't know it was that serious . claire : it 's not . it 's not . she just needs some time to get over it . please do n't tell her i told you , okay ? i was n't supposed to talk about it . theo : yeah , no . um , yeah . okay , well , i got to go . claire : really ? i mean , i thought we could , like , hang out . celebrate my new job . theo : yeah , no , i really do got to go . congratulations . i really -- i hope , you know , it works out great for you . deimos : how long has tate been gone ? i need to speak with someone . i 'll get back to you . justin : okay . deimos : i tried calling you earlier . nicole : i know . i was in the middle of something . deimos : right . i need to talk with you . i need to find out what your thinking is about taking over basic black . nicole : my thinking has n't changed . i have a job . i 'm gon na help dario re- imagine this place . deimos : really ? taking over an established business . helping a beach bum pick out placemats . really , is that -- that a tough choice ? nicole : you do n't have to be snide . deimos : and you do n't have to play hard to get . just tell me what you want . all right ? what can i give you to take the job ? give me a figure . [ dramatic music ] nicole : you do n't get it . deimos : what ? nicole : this is n't about money . this is about trust . and i 'm not sure you really are the changed man you claim to be . deimos : okay , nicole , i understand it 's gon na take some time for me to earn your trust , so why do n't we do this : why do n't we keep the professional side of our relationship separate from the personal side ? what do you think ? nicole : well , i have an idea . why do n't we simply not have a business relationship ? or a personal relationship , or any kind of relationship at all . now if you 'll excuse me , i have to help dario pick out some placemats . deimos : nicole . i just found out about tate . do me a favor , will you ? if you see victor , ask him if there 's anything i can do to help . nicole : i doubt there is . dario : what did deimos want ? nicole : oh , to accept him for the sincere guy that he is . dario : did you buy it ? nicole : of course not . everything 's an act with that guy .

[ light instrumental music ] theo : look , i should n't have told you how i felt , okay ?

[ knocking on door ] justin : i 'll get it . victor : maybe kidnapped tate ? justin : i 'm telling you , deimos had nothing to do with it . victor : yeah , well , if that 's him , punch him in the jaw . maggie : victor . justin : oh , my god . maggie : what ? justin : sonny !

[ sighs ] never mind the motive . never mind the evidence . i know him . and i know he 's a good man . and i know he has a kind heart . and you are blaming me for everything . daniel : i did n't do this , kate . and you are the first person i think of who would delight in hurting chloe . kate : really ? daniel : really . kate : not the man that she wanted out of her life ? not the man that she begged to leave her alone ! daniel : no , not true . kate : you point the finger at me , even though i would n't even be here if it was n't for chloe -- for her donating her bone marrow . i would n't be alive . and even though when i found out about the two of you , i made the decision -- i made the decision because of her sacrifice , and because you saved my life ... just to let it pass . hope : really ? you just let it go . kate : yes . i let it go . i let it go because i knew the truth would hurt lucas . hope : so you held no grudge against chloe at all ? kate : hope , chloe vowed to me that she was going to dedicate her life to lucas and to allie . and she was doing that . and daniel promised that he would leave her alone . and i was stupid enough to believe it . i hate that she 's in there fighting for her life . still , i 'm thinking about lucas , and how this is going to affect him . i have to think about that . do you understand me ? there is no way -- no way i wanted to see this happen . . [ scene_break ] stephanie : no way . daniel would never do something like that . he 's a doctor . he 's a great doctor . philip : does n't mean he 's a saint . stephanie : but to poison chloe ? i mean , why ? philip : you know , the more i talk about it , think about it , the worse i feel . so i 've told you what i know . let 's drop it . stephanie : sorry . philip : what are you doing here ? do n't answer that . i 'm a real son of a bitch tonight . can i get you a drink or something ? stephanie : uh , look , philip , i came here to make sure you got the right story , in case you have n't already heard . something about melanie and me . philip : i have n't heard a thing . you sure you want me to ? stephanie : yes . um , melanie and i got into a heated discussion earlier . philip : a fight . stephanie : yeah , i was mad at her for standing up nathan horton to go off with you , and i accused her of sleeping with you . philip : that did n't happen . stephanie : i know that now . i ... came here to tell you that i 'm sorry , and that i made a huge mistake . [ scene_break ] maggie : melanie . melanie : maggie , i 'm so sorry about chloe . maggie : honey , i was telling nathan earlier . when -- when you go home , you must n't eat anything that 's in the kitchen . because that poison is what put chloe in the coma . melanie : yeah . no , i heard . i wo n't -- i wo n't eat anything in the kitchen . and -- and when i get home , i 'll clean it from top to bottom for you . maggie : well , that 'd be helpful . oh -- oh , dear , you know , i need to tell mia . she probably has no idea . is everything all right with you two ? melanie : yeah . absolutely . nathan : why would there be a problem ? maggie : uh - huh . okay . i have to make the phone call to mia right away . excuse me . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] kate : lucas has to call me back . can you imagine if he finds out about this from someone else ? hope : kate , the news is going to be devastating no matter how he hears about it . kate : you 're right . finding out that your wife is in a coma , poisoned by the man she was having an affair with -- daniel : no , no , no . i did not poison her ! and we were not having an affair . we were keeping our distance . which is pure hell for the both of us . but she was faithful , and i respected that ! that 's one thing i respected ! bo : whoa , whoa , let 's take it down a notch . maggie : we have to be very careful about this . we ca n't make the mistake that i made when i told lucas about daniel and chloe . hope : what ? what ! kate : maggie ... hope : when did this happen ? kate : you told him ? maggie : well , chloe had broken the engagement , and lucas had started drinking . so i went to the cheatin ' heart to try to talk some sense into him . it did n't work , of course . so i thought i would try some tough love . kate : my god . maggie : i know it was a terrible idea , and i 'm -- it was a terrible mistake . but then he went to daniel 's , and he was gon na have it out with him . hope : yeah , but instead there was a gas explosion . maggie : right . and he was so drunk , and he was so traumatized by the explosion that when he came to in the hospital , he did n't remember a thing . bo : how do you know that ? maggie : because ... he did n't . i mean , well , he did say one time that he was beginning to remember bits and pieces , but he never brought it up again . oh , excuse me . bo : okay , so lucas acted like he did n't know . he never said anything . but he 's the producer of the show , so he had access to the tainted food . kate : wait a minute . hope : and he left town . bo : providing a perfect alibi . kate : that 's ridiculous ! lucas loves chloe . bo : as does the doc . kate : hope , lucas is your cousin . bo : and he 's got a history of taking things into his own hands . ask e.j . dimera . kate : all right , you are not gon na blame this on lucas . i know for a fact he did n't do it . bo : meaning you know who did . [ scene_break ] sami : nothing 's wrong . rafe : well , something just got to you . sami : i was just thinking about how nice it is that we 're here . you know , at home we can pretend like the rest of the world does n't exist , and that ...

[ scene_break ] nicole : i do n't understand , e.j . sydney and grace -- what did your father tell you about me ? e.j . : listen , he -- he just pointed out the logic of it , that 's all . i mean , look , these are two girls . they 're born on the same day . they 're half - sisters . i think it 's natural that you would be upset by grace 's death and feel that you wanted to be more protective of sydney . nicole : right . good . good , i 'm glad your father helped you understand that . losing a child is a parent 's worst nightmare . e.j . : it is . but it was -- it was me who lost a child that day , not you . i mourned grace . i still mourn grace . but it has n't affected my behavior the way that it seems to have affected yours . nicole : i do n't know about that , e.j . you 've had some pretty dark days . e.j . : sure . i 'll admit that . i 've had a lot on my plate of late . my brother died . i had that feud with the kiriakis family , and then ... i discovered a daughter and lost her all in the same day . but i am pulling myself back together , and i think that i 'm more focused now . nicole : on me ? e.j . : yes , on you . and i can see that my wife is in a lot of pain , and i want to know why .

[ scene_break ] kate : no , i ca n't tell you who poisoned chloe . but i can tell you that lucas did n't . bo : yeah . well , we 'll want to talk to him when he gets back . kate : this is unbelievable . your prime suspect is standing right over there . the rejected ex - lover with access to any kind of drugs he wants , and you 're just ignoring him .

[ suspenseful music ] you know , i wo n't be putting on one of those paper gowns . fynn : understood . kayla : okay . fynn : sorry . kayla : [ small laugh ] is this really necessary ? fynn : i ca n't count while you 're talking . kayla : well , i 'm alive . fynn : yeah . i can certainly see that . any dizziness ? kayla : no . fynn : lying to me is futile . kayla : occasionally . but -- a little dizzy , but ... i , um ... well , they 're not as bad as they used to be . fynn : why do n't you just get the surgery ? if this hematoma has n't calmed itself down by now , it 's highly unlikely -- kayla : you know , i ca n't have my whole family sitting vigil at my bedside . they have enough to worry about . fynn : well , a medical crisis would give them a lot more to fret about . kayla : i actively need to be involved in my son 's life . i ca n't do that being laid up in a hospital bed . fynn : what , is joey 's recovery not going well ? kayla : no , it 's fine . it 's just that he has no common sense . fynn : he 's 18 - -what do you expect ? anyway , i 'm glad he 's recovering well . kayla : yeah , he is . physically , anyway . fynn : but ... kayla : i 've just been trying for months to get him to see a therapist , but he refuses . i mean , he 's got so many issues that he needs to deal with . but he says he 's an adult , and i ca n't force him to do that . but he 's not acting like an adult . fynn : well , he 's far from alone on that one . kayla : and then he ... i do n't know what he sees in that girl . i mean , she practically got him killed and ... fynn : he 's obviously not thinking with his head . kayla : oh , that makes me feel better . fynn : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . kayla : i swear , if she hurts him again ... joey : what ? jade : what if your mom comes home ? joey : she 's working the late shift . she wo n't be home till , like , 5 : 00 a.m . jade : but she 'll be here -- joey : why are we talking about my mother ? jade : because this is her house , and she does n't want me here . joey : she just has to get to know you a little better . jade : it 's not gon na work the same way with her that it did with you . joey : i really do n't care . jade : well , do n't say that to her ... okay ? she already thinks i 'm a bad influence on [ funny voice ] her baby boy . joey : because you are . steve : [ sighs ] damn it . eduardo : what ? steve : oh ... another dead end . every hour that goes by without finding that kid ... i should n't even be here . what am i doing ? eduardo : well , spinnin ' your wheels and going without sleep ai n't gon na get it . where should you be ? steve : i wan na be home with my wife ... eduardo : so why are n't ya ? steve : same reason you 're not , maybe . eduardo : yeah , but i will be , and soon . steve : yeah ? eduardo : yeah . steve : so what 's your secret ? eduardo : as a wise man once told me ... `` nunca te rindas , hermano . `` steve : never give up . eduardo : ah - ee . [ mellow music ] joey : let 's go to my room . jade : [ exhales ] why ? joey : why ? jade : well , what if we fall asleep after ? joey : wow . that 's not something i was worried about . jade : [ laughs ] i do n't want you to have to sneak me out in the morning . joey : i do n't care ! jade : will you stop saying that ? i do n't want your mom to hate me more than she already does . joey : no offense , but i do n't think that 's possible . jade : what ? you said she just has to get to know me better and then ... she 'd be crazy about me . joey : i never said that . jade : well , you said the first part -- i just filled the rest in . and now you 're saying that she could n't hate me more than she already does ? joey : i was just joking . jade : the hell you were . joey : what , are you mad ? jade : it hurt my feelings , joey ... okay ? i - i -- i do n't like thinking anyone hates me . much less the mother of the guy that i 'm ... into . i mean , i know she 's not like president of my fan club or anything , but to think she actually could n't hate me more ... hurts . joey : jade , listen to me , please . come here . my mom does n't hate you . she does n't think you 're a bad person . she just thinks i 'm a bad influence on her precious baby boy . joey : she would n't like any girl i was hooking up with . jade : no ? not even if she was filthy rich and successful and graduated from some ivy league school . an awesome family with , like , a ... a hotshot lawyer dad and like a brain surgeon mom or something like that ? joey : [ laughs ] well , i think the real question is ... would someone like that wan na be my girlfriend ? jade : okay , you have a point . thank you . joey : besides , i like you just the way you are . jade : i 'm glad . and i know i 'm perfect for you , joey johnson , with all my many faults . joey : that 's true . [ both chuckle ] joey : and in case you have n't noticed , i have a few faults myself . jade : no , you do n't . you 're perfect ! [ giggles ] joey : i think my mom 's really gon na like you when she gets to know you ... what a good person you are . jade : you really think that ? shut up ! joey : and i especially like kissing you . jade : [ giggles ] i like kissing you too . among other things . kayla : can you believe that joey actually wanted me to let jade move in with us ? i mean , really , i - i mean , i 'm not a person who ... who would normally toss a homeless girl out on the street . but does n't she have another friend ? or maybe she could get a job and she could find herself an apartment or something . fynn : you do n't have to justify yourself to me . kayla : no , i think i 'm justifying it to myself because i feel so bad . fynn : why ? kayla : because i - i 've taken a stand . but it does n't even matter . i mean , joey 's home right now , and for all i know , she 's there too . i just felt that if i -- if i said yes , she could move in , that i was just allowing this sort of free - for - all . fynn : well , given that she has no home ... it beats the alternative . kayla : i suppose . and i do understand what a know ? fynn : i 'm sure you understand very well . i mean , she got him to run away she hooked him up with he was involved in an armed robbery . i mean , i 'm not absolving him from all of his responsibility , kayla : and then when she got herself involved in this hostage but no , she called my son . and then she did n't give him a heads - up about what he was walking into . fynn : look , not to defend her , but you tend to put your faith in the one you love . kayla : yeah , he loves her . he does n't even know what love is . but what if it 's for real ? fynn : as you we heart is forever making the head its fool . ever . but kayla ... stubborn . but i love that about her . i really do . eduardo : you 're kinda stubborn yourself , are n't ya ? well , my guess is she spent a throw on your cape and fly off to your latest top - secret adventure somewhere . steve : right . and i do n't know how to make her believe i 'm done with all that . especially 'cause i 'm not sure i believe it myself . eduardo : not quite yet , huh ? steve : well , you know , the last time i promised her i 'd stay put , i took off halfway across the world ... to rescue her brother . eduardo : well , she ca n't hold that against ya . steve : no . but i mean , these kinds of situations ... just keep finding me . eduardo : think that 's because maybe you really do wan na keep some distance between yourself and your family ? steve : no , no , i do n't . eduardo : no ? well , then , maybe it 's time you actually did something about it . steve : okay . what was your brilliant solution , obi - wan ? eduardo : i apologized . i groveled . i pleaded , and i promised . steve : i tried all that . eduardo : yeah , yeah , and after all of that ... failed ... i did the only thing left to do that would show adriana i really meant it . adriana : oh ... gracias . blanca : what ? you 're watching your waistline or what ? adriana : i was just reading about this diet . eat nothing but cabbage soup for seven days . blanca : ugh ! adriana : ay yi yi ! where do they come up with these crazy idea ? i mean , i would like to lose a kilo or two ... the sensible way . blanca : for eduardo ? adriana : [ exhales ] would you stop with that ? blanca : what ? you did n't answer my question . adriana : eduardo is not moving into rafael 's house . i mean ... dario and his father [ speaking spanish ] and little ari -- she does n't need to listen to all that fighting . her life has been hard enough already . blanca : well , maybe they 'll get along if they spend more time together ... no ? adriana : ah , you do n't know my son very well . besides , this is rafe 's home , and he 's working on building a relationship with his dad . it would be harder for him to do it under the same roof . blanca : yeah . okay . in that case , have you considered moving in with eduardo ? adriana : ay , dios mio ! blanca : que ? ! steve : so you 're telling me you proved to your ex that you cared by ... buying a bar ? eduardo : yes . she knows how much i value a dollar , that there 's no way possible i 'm gon na walk away from the amount of cash i sunk into this place . steve : as opposed to walking away from your family ? eduardo : ouch . steve : again -- i 'm not judging . i just do n't see how that would convince her . eduardo : well , i think adriana also appreciates the fact that i got our son working here , you know ? at this rate , the guy might even move out at some point in time . steve : which son is that ? is that the one that does n't like you very much ? eduardo : yeah , dario . we 're working on that , uh ... we 're working on it . steve : i think i met dario . he 's not here tonight , huh ? eduardo : nah . he 's not here . business has been pretty slow . steve : yeah , i can see that . you know , uh ... this place used to be a hangout of mine . eduardo : oh , yeah ? steve : back when it was called the cheatin ' heart . you ever hear of it ? eduardo : yeah , i think so , but i never hung out on this side of town too much back in the day . steve : place was hopping . they had -- they had pool tables in here and ... the floor was covered with peanut shells . course , the bar taps had n't been cleaned in years . pretty funky . i had to drag kayla here the first time . i taught her to play pool right over there . you know , some nights , she 'd be there , cheering me on when i was ... hustling some poor fool . we 'd end up blowing all the money on beer and the jukebox . some nights , we danced all night long . anyway , you ... you ca n't afford to be giving away the good stuff , man . eduardo : you know , i - i got a feeling there 's a reason you walked in here tonight . steve : what , so you could play barkeep and practice giving advice ? eduardo : there you go . how am i doing ? steve : pretty good . eduardo : [ chuckles ] steve : 'cause you 're right . i ca n't just talk the talk . i got ta walk the walk . kayla : ah . fynn : coffee ? kayla : yes . but you better make it decaf . fynn : medically , that 's a wise choice . but i do n't know how you 're gon na get through the rest of the night on this alone . there we go . you should go home . the ward 's half - empty . kayla : well , at least you 're not proposing to check me in . thank you . fynn : if you keep pulling these late nights , i 'll tell you what ... kayla : i 'll sleep in the call room . fynn : do you mind if i ask you a personal question ? kayla : that depends . [ chuckles ] fynn : has steve always been the one ? kayla : um ... no . i mean , i had other serious relationships . it was just different with him . and he was the man i chose to marry and have my kids with and , um ... when i thought he was lost , i would do anything -- i mean , really anything -- to get him back . fynn : now that he 's here ... kayla : i know it 's not fair . i mean , he 's done everything i 've asked him to . i do n't know . i think that my , um , my mind and my heart are telling me two different things . fynn : yeah , i thought that time we were out in california , that , you know ... kayla : i know . i thought that too . i mean ... he brought my brother back to me , he ... he saved joey 's life . he 's my hero in many ways , but ... i do n't know , then we get back here and i just realize i ca n't live with the drama that he brings to my life . you know , i should n't be telling you all this . i 'm sorry . fynn : no . i 'm the one who asked ... you know ? as someone who 's been doggedly single his whole life , it 's hard for me to wrap my brain around that dilemma . it 's just ... kayla : in my experience , those are the guys who have been hurt way too many times . fynn : do n't quit your day job . i do n't think you have a future in psychoanalysis . i 'm the heartbreaker , believe it or not . kayla : and you 're proud of it . fynn : no . kayla : [ laughs ] really ? fynn : yeah , i think i 'm finally ready to settle down . kayla : what happened ? fynn : i met someone . kayla : [ soft laugh ] a hotel and , to be honest with you ... i do n't know if i could ever live with eduardo again . i understand now why he had to leave ... i do . i just can not get past his other family . blanca : you mean his other wife ? adriana : i do n't know , blanca , it -- it 's not easy to picture the man you love with another woman . blanca : mm - mm . it 's not . adriana : if it was too dangerous for eduardo to stay with us ... how could he have another child with eve ? blanca : oh , maybe , i do n't know ... maybe he thought the agency would n't find him . adriana : hmm . maybe . i do n't know what else eduardo can do to prove that this time it will be different . but ... i really need it to be different . blanca : well , guess what . you 'll never know if you do n't ... adriana : if i do n't ... give him another chance ? oh ! [ scoffs ] [ tense music ] fynn : when i think about daniel and how at long last he was ready to settle down with the woman that he loved but he never got the chance ... now i do have that chance , i do n't wan na screw it up . be real with me . what scares you more -- going back to steve or starting over ? kayla : i - i 've started over many times , it 's not that -- fynn : yeah , but you guys have been doing this dance for months . if he could convince you that he 's changed , he would have already done it . kayla : fynn , i - i do n't think we need to have this conversation . fynn : kayla , look , i graciously bowed out because you wanted to be with steve , and that 's fine , but i do n't think you 're sure . i do n't think you ever will be . i am . he ca n't make you happy . otherwise , you 'd be with him . i can give you what he never could , what he never will . kayla : fynn -- fynn : look , you 're different from every woman i 've known . and when we were driving to california to find joey ... look , yeah , i did have an ulterior motive . but you ca n't deny what 's going on here . you ca n't deny what we 've got . [ dramatic music ] joey : we stayed right here and everything was just fine . you did n't fall asleep . my mom did n't show up . jade : well , we lucked out . [ laughs ] joey : yes , i did . the day i met you .

[ laughs ] but i ... i really do respect her ... for how much she loves you . i wish my mom felt the same way about me . joey : i love you . jade : i love you too . joey : stay here tonight . please . jade : joey -- joey : pleeeeaaase ? jade : joey ! joey : pleeeeaaase ? jade : [ laughs ] okay . joey : yes !

[ exhales heavily ] i told them to think about someplace with a beach . how does that sound ? abigail : you know , i think even a sunny spot can be a real drag with a woman who hates your guts . dario : [ laughs ] you know , i -- i could 've told them that chad offed deimos . i could 've showed them that picture that i took , but i did n't . instead , i 'm giving up someone who could 've made me big money for the rest of my life . abigail : you 're just all heart , are n't you ? dario : i am when it comes to you , and you 're gon na love that beach . abigail : i would n't be so sure of yourself , because i have not told you that i was going . dario : well , you 've had all night to think about it . so either you come with me ... or ... i show this ... to the cops . abigail : how did you get that back ? dario : that 's what happens when you make bail . life goes back to normal . and this ... is your new normal . so ... i think you 'd better start packing . yikes ... kayla : the it guy already looked at my tablet . he said it had n't been hacked . and you know no one has access to my passcode . steve : well , that 's not why i want to use your computer . can you pull up the general duty scheduling starting with the day of the first mistake and show me what shift you were on ? kayla : okay . there . steve : okay , now mark all three days when you supposedly prescribed the wrong dosages , and let me know if shelly was on duty . kayla : well , we do n't have anything on her . steve : okay , so we widen the search . we find any medical personnel who was working all three of those shifts . kayla : feels like a long shot . steve : you know what feels like a long shot to me , baby ? you making the same serious mistake three times . kayla : okay , well , there might be a lot of names on that list . steve : yeah , there could be . but we have to come at this from every angle . you 're not typing . kayla : [ sighs ] can i tell you how much it means to me that you are the very best detective in the world and you believe in me ? steve : thanks , baby . now clickity - click . joey : sure you do n't want me to make you one of these ? tripp : no , i hate that crap . joey : it 's good for you after a run on a hot day . okay , well , uh ... i 'm just gon na -- tripp : so i should n't even mention my mom to you ? joey : what ? tripp : i said i wish i 'd had a chance to get to know her , and you just changed the subject . joey : man , you know the stuff she did . she tried ruining my parents ' lives . tripp : yeah , but that stuff she did , it does n't fit with the lady i saw on these dvds she left me . look . joey : what is that ? tripp : pictures of her . i had them made off the dvds . see ? she looks ... she looks nice . joey : she was good at that ... being two different people . look , i am sorry that that happened to you . and i 'm glad you have a family now . i , uh ... i 've always wanted a brother . dad seems really happy to have you around . mom thinks you really have a shot at becoming a doctor . i know she 's not your real mom , but take it from me , she 's like the best one ever . tripp : come on . she 's no saint . joey : where 's that -- where 's that coming from ? i thought you liked her . [ door opens ] andré : i just saw gabi rushing out of the front door like something 's wrong . chad : yeah , she , uh -- she just found out that dario got arrested last night . andré : oh , yeah , of course . chad : you already knew ? andré : well , i saw it on the news . well , that 's why i came out to talk to you about . chad : what 's to say ? andré : well , he deserves to be in jail for what he did . chad : i agree . deserves to be in jail and as far away from abby as possible . andré : yes , and now that he 's behind bars , there are flames to put out . there 've been questions about our cybersecurity . chad : that 's why i got lucas on it . andré : oh . oh , so why do n't you go and see lucas at the office and consult with him ? chad : because the nanny 's out shopping , and i got to be here when thomas wakes up . andré : oh no , let me do that . so why do n't you just call lucas and tell him you 're on your way ? chad : you trying to get rid of me ? dario : so what are you thinking ? are you coming with me or not ? abigail : what choice do i have ? dario : you know , you should look at this way -- at least you do n't have to watch him making a life with my sister . abigail : they 're gon na be raising my son ! dario : that was your decision . your baby - daddy killed someone . so you 're either coming with me , or chad goes in the joint . what 's it gon na be ? tripp : if your mom 's such an angel , why is she always so mean to jade ? joey : not always . you should 've seen her when jade was pregnant . tripp : yeah , if she was pregnant with someone else 's baby and not yours , it would n't have been like that . joey : look , man , you ca n't buy into everything jade tells you about her . tripp : look ... kayla 's not my mom . okay , and i 'm -- i 'm never gon na think of her that way , no matter what you or steve want . joey : fine , but you have to admit , she 's been really good to you . i mean , letting you shadow her at the hospital , always talking about how good you are with the patients -- i mean , i 'm starting to get kind of pissed that she 's bragging about you so much . tripp : yeah . yeah , well , do n't worry about that . i 'm no saint either . joey : i 'm the furthest thing from it . tripp : yeah , right . joey : everything i put my mom and dad through ... and now that things are finally looking better , my mom gets in trouble at the hospital . them saying she made those mistakes , suspending her ... it 's already getting to her . tripp : no matter how that plays out , she 'll still live a good life , right ? joey : a good family life , maybe . but if she ca n't be a doctor anymore ? that would kill her . kayla : well ... looks like you were right . steve : okay , shelly was the only nurse or doctor or resident or intern who was working all three of those shifts when the wrong dosages were given . and kayla , you said that you reported her for bad - mouthing the hospital to patients , and that went in her personnel file . kayla : i know , i just ca n't believe it . she took a same version of the oath that i took , which was `` first , do no harm . `` i ca n't believe she would risk a patient 's life just to get back at me . i mean , who hates somebody that much ? what is it ? steve : okay . remember that background check i told you i was doing on shelly ? well ... [ sighs ] it turns out she was fired from her last nursing job for insubordination . looks like she 's got a problem . kayla : yeah . you think that she thinks that i was trying to get her fired from here ? steve : and she tried to get to you first ? maybe . now we 've got means , motive , and opportunity . what we do n't have is hard evidence . andré : i 'm not trying to get rid of you . chad : no , see , i -- i know you too well , and i know you 're trying to put on over on me . i 'm not stupid , andré . andré : but chad , would n't you agree that it 's not a good idea for kate or myself to reassure the stockholders or clients the company is safe from a cyberattack ? you need to do that , do n't you agree ? so how 'd you like to be the boss ? chad : abe . hey , how you doing ? it 's , uh , good to see you . what do we owe the pleasure ? abe : good to see you too . so , do you know why he asked me to stop by ? chad : uhhh , nope . but i just found out -- found out about it just now , so why do n't , uh -- why do n't you enlighten us both ? andré : well , abe is not very pleased about the fact that ... that his son theo is working for the company . chad : well , okay , i -- i told theo to tell you days ago when i offered him the job . abe : well , he was keeping it from me because he felt i would n't approve . and i do n't . andré : well , i 'm sorry if -- if we 've become between you and theo . abe : `` if `` ? chad : okay , look . abe , the -- offering theo the job was my idea . the kid 's a genius when it comes to computers . andré : but you are his father . and if you want theo to sever ties with the company , all you have to do is return the laptop . that way , we 're able to remove the dimera software from that , and then that will be that . okay , wait , wh - why do you have theo 's computer ? abe : i took it because i wanted to find out what he was doing for you . chad : did you figure it out ? abe : no . chad : this is why theo was here last night . andré : yes , he did n't want you to know about the situation . he was afraid you might be disappointed in him . abe : so `` the situation `` is already a mess . andré : well , no . as i keep telling you , all we need is the laptop back . abe : you know , i am as anxious to get the dimera material off that laptop as you are . andré : then ... you will return it to us ? andré : if it means that theo will no longer be working for you , absolutely . andré : yeah , well , absolutely . think of him as being terminated . chad : do n't , whoa . okay . not so fast . let 's just ... dario : you 'd better start packing . abigail : now ? dario : tell me where i 'm going . i have to get on the plane . abigail : i mean , do you not understand how hard this is for me ? dario , you are asking me to choose between chad in prison and abandoning my son !

[ somber music ] gabi : okay , i -- i got to go . dario : you made the right decision . chad : okay , look . [ stammering ] i did n't offer theo the job just because he 's good with computers . i did it because he 's our sister 's kid . he 's blood ; he 's part of the dimera family , and he has as much of a right to be a part of dimera enterprises as i do . abe : you bout know ... what that man did to lexie . he manipulated her into doing terrible things . things that were n't in her nature . chad : and i -- i understand that . okay ? i love lexie too . but my -- my father is not running the company anymore . i am , and do you really think that i would -- i would offer theo a job to work for me if i did n't plan on running things on the up and up ? abe : you 've set yourself a lofty goal ... that you have n't always met . and you . i know you think the `` up and up `` is for suckers . andré : i would n't think of coming between you and theo . but if we 're going to assure the public that the company 's safe from a cyberattack , then we need the information on the computer . abe : you want that computer pretty badly , huh ? andré : yes , enough to get lawyers involved . chad : look , enough , enough . andré may be okay with letting theo go , but i certainly am not . abe : well , if you want that computer back ... fire andré instead .

[ scene_break ] john : hey , come on , buddy . if you 've got some theory about what happened to my wife , let 's hear it . bo : i was thinking of carly . you know , how vivian gave her that powerful herb to make it appear that she was dead . celeste : yes . and carly was buried alive . john : wait , you think that maybe something like that happened to marlena ? bo : yeah , she could have been given a paralytic drug that not only made it appear that she was dead , but made her impervious to pain , so , you know , that scalpel -- she would n't have felt it . ah , you -- oh ! i 'm just grasping at straws here , john . i could believe my wife is still alive because i have n't seen her body , but marlena -- i 'm sorry , man . she was shot in the heart . there 's no way she could have survived . there 's only a couple scenarios here that could be true . we got some sicko grave robber , or -- i know you do n't want to hear this , but maybe milbauer was running some kind of business on the side . you know , selling human organs on the black market . celeste : oh , god . [ scene_break ] tek : well , i can definitely confirm milbauer offed himself . lexie : there 's no doubt about it . tek : if you do n't need me for anything else , i 'm gon na drop these samples off at the lab . then i 'll go arrange a coroner to pick up the body . bo : okay , thanks , man . tek : all right . lexie : milbauer must have been terrified to have actually killed himself rather than reveal whatever it was he knew . bo : missing something here . there 's a piece of the puzzle we 're not getting . lexie : yeah , i know . bo : like , who the hell is behind this ? celeste : [ gasps ] oh ! oh , god , no ! it ca n't be !

[ scene_break ] hope : you 're spinning what attorneys call an alternative theory of the crime . the problem with that ... you have nothing to back it up . you have n't given me any concrete evidence whatsoever that kate has anything to do with this . daniel : but you think the evidence against me is concrete . she manufactured this . and you do n't believe me . hope : it 's a theory . i do n't believe or disbelieve theories . i consider them . like for instance , i could ... consider another theory . you told me how much you loved chloe . daniel : i still do . hope : and she broke off the affair and chose lucas over you . then look what happened . you resigned from the hospital . you were gon na leave salem , correct ? daniel : look , things changed after all that . we talked . we were gon na be together . hope : so you say . again ... no evidence that was true . and aside from that , it 's kind of contradicted by maggie overhearing the phone call . daniel : no , i know kate did that -- hope : daniel , the phone call , the resignation . that looks like a very angry , rejected man , as in `` if i ca n't have her , no one will , `` kind of man . daniel : not true . that is just not true ! hope : i did n't say it was . it 's a theory . and here 's the big problem . the one person who can tell us which theory to choose ca n't talk . which brings me to another theory . what if chloe knew something ... that someone did n't want her to share ? [ scene_break ] victor : you are incorrigible , kate . you 're marvelous ! kate : you 're still here . victor : i 'm going , i 'm going . kate : victor ... all joking aside , our conversation tonight was private , personal . victor : what you 're asking is will i keep your secret ? kate : [ laughs ] what secret ? victor : do n't worry , kate . i wo n't tell anyone what you did to the ... soon - to- be - departed chloe . matter of fact , i 'll say , `` good girl , nice work . `` see ya at the funeral . kate : always nice seeing you too , victor . victor : how ? kate : excuse me ? victor : i must be losing my touch . when i asked you how you were gon na keep lucas from suspecting you , you said you had that covered . and i did n't ask the next logical question -- how ? how are you gon na keep him and the police from suspecting you ? [ scene_break ] sami : so you , uh ... you did n't like emily 's fiancé ? meredith : no , i did at the beginning . sami : yeah ? meredith : oh , yeah . he was great -- like something out of a movie . he was good- looking and funny , and emily seemed so happy . sami : seemed ? meredith : in the beginning . emily believed he 'd do anything for her . we all believed that . sami : a real hero type , huh ? meredith : yeah . i thought he would die for emily , and she 's the one who died . sami : what happened ? meredith : i ca n't talk about this . sami : no , meredith , come on -- meredith : no , sorry , i ca n't . i ca n't , i just -- i 'm sorry . sami : meredith , just -- [ sigh ] [ scene_break ] abe : i did n't say anything about firing you . bo : it would clear up this problem we 're having . you 'd look objective , decisive , like a politician . abe : would you listen to me ? now , i am not trying to influence this case . i 'm trying to warn you ... that you 're under a lot of scrutiny and whether you like it or not ... appearances matter . bo : all right . gene : commissioner , this just came in from the lab . bo : about time . thanks , gene . abe : that does n't look like good news . bo : not for jonas , it is n't . [ scene_break ] daniel : i did n't do anything to chloe . i wish she could talk , and then she could back up everything that i 'm telling you . hope : was the affair over ? daniel : i told you it was . hope : but you were still in love with her . daniel : yes . hope : and kate found out about the affair and was upset . daniel : yes , she was . hope : okay . could you just explain to me why she would ask you to do the television show with chloe and why the heck you would ever accept ? daniel : yeah . she bribed me . and this is something you can verify . she offered to match my salary with a donation toward breast cancer research in honor of my late wife . it 's just another setup . she 's pushing me with chloe , and i 'm telling you , she is setting me up with this scenario . hope : and you accepted that ? believed that this woman who hated what you had done needed you ? oh , and only you ... as a guest star . daniel : yes . she said that after i took care of philip ... hope : you mean saved his life , right ? daniel : yes , yes . she had forgiven me . and you know what ? yes , i accepted it . i did n't say , `` wow , maybe kate is planning to kill chloe and hang it on me ! `` hope : but you were still in love with her . did it really seem like a good idea to work with her ? daniel : no , as a matter of fact , it was n't a good idea . it has been painful , and it threatened to get out of hand , and that is why i resigned . that is why i was planning to leave salem . hope : so you say . again , we ca n't ask chloe for confirmation . daniel : no . hope : except there was something she said . last time she was admitted to the hospital , she told lexie she did n't want you anywhere near her , she did n't want you to treat her . now , why would she say that ? [ knock on door ] bo : excuse me . hope : thank you . daniel : what 's that ? hope : i 'm asking the questions here , doctor . why would she say that ? why would she not want you to treat her ? daniel : i think ... i think she was afraid . hope : afraid of you ? [ scene_break ] sami : hey . everything okay ? kids go to sleep okay ? rafe : everything 's fine . how 'bout you ? sami : yeah . yeah , i 'm fine . rafe : did you get the painting smock that allie left at your grandma 's ? sami : no , um ... it was n't there after all . rafe : oh . but you had a good visit . sami : we always do . rafe : yeah ? ha . seemed like you were gone for quite a while . [ scene_break ] victor : so how are you gon na wiggle out of this , kate ? i mean , she was killed on your set , you hate her , and no one is going to suspect you ? kate : [ sighs ] no one knows i hate her . victor : oh , please , kate . kate : you know , i 'm not discussing this with you anymore except to make it perfectly clear that i did not poison her and i do not know what you 're talking about . victor : wheels within wheels always was your modus operandi . queen of the complex conspiracy . kate : i thought you were going home . victor : and always an exit strategy . always a loophole . kate : okay . okay . i 'm gon na go check on lucas 's flight now , 'cause he 's supposed to be here and you 're supposed to be gone . [ cell phone rings ] victor : yeah , bo , what is it ? bo : i need the name of a good criminal lawyer . victor : and why would you need that ? bo : we 're about to arrest jonas for attempted murder . victor : what a surprise . they 're arresting daniel for this . and how did you come to that conclusion ? [ scene_break ] sami : working on your interrogation techniques ? rafe : sorry . just seemed like you were gone for a rather long time . sami : yeah , well , um ... when it was n't at the pub , i decided to go see if it was at lucas 's and , uh , turns out there was no one home . rafe : ah . wasted trip , huh ? sami : yeah . yeah , tell me about it . so , um ... you put the kids to bed ? you get some time to yourself ? rafe : matter of fact , no . i had an interesting conversation ... with your father . [ scene_break ] lexie : [ exhales ] she 's gone from a glasgow 8 to 4 . nathan : damn it . lexie : she might never come out of this . [ scene_break ] hope : why would chloe be afraid of you , daniel ? daniel : i did n't say that . you did . i think chloe was afraid because ... given as sick as she was ... with the pain medication ... if i was in the room , she might say something that would indicate ... how she felt about me . hope : again , we only have your word for it . daniel : you know what ? i 'm not sure that 's true . hope : you think chloe confided in someone ? daniel : maybe nicole , but that 's not what i 'm talking about . i think kate confided in someone . victor kiriakis . [ scene_break ] victor : i do n't care what time it is . the big fat retainer i pay you says i do n't have to . just get down there . stop the questioning . bail him out if you have to . keep me posted . so what 's your plan `` b `` ? kate : i do n't know what you mean . victor : how do you get out of this mess without pinning it on daniel ? he 's family , kate . i do n't give a damn what you do to chloe ... but you are not going to pin this on daniel . kate : [ scoffs ] do n't be absurd . you know , go ahead and tell bo your fantasy that i 'm involved with all this . i do n't care . he 's not gon na believe you . victor : no , but lucas will . [ scene_break ] sami : my dad was here ? why ? rafe : said he called you earlier . wanted to make sure everything was all right . sami : he 's ... just always worried about me . i 'm gon na go check on the twins . maybe we can watch tv or something . rafe : sami . why are you lying to me ? [ scene_break ] daniel : are we done ? hope : no . daniel : can i get to the hospital , please ? hope : not quite yet . no , daniel . this , uh ... theory of yours ... makes kate out to be a really formidable opponent ... not only driven , obsessed with wanting to hurt you and chloe . and also capable of spicing audio recordings . planting evidence . placing your fingerprints on it . oh , and finding someone to impersonate you to pick up the prescription . she 's not only good ... she 's had a real streak of luck , has n't she ? i mean , everything 's gone her way , has n't it ? daniel : yeah , well , because nobody knew what she was doing . now you know . now you can stop her . hope : but you know what ? this is the part that really stumps me . how did she know what poison to use ? where 'd she get it ? i thought you had to be a doctor to do that . daniel : you do . look ... the only thing i want you to believe is that chloe is in danger . for god 's sake , you can do whatever you want to me , but you keep kate away from her ! [ scene_break ] abe : well , here it is in black and white . second time around . daniel 's prints and only daniel 's prints are on that bottle . bo : yeah . and the prescription was in his handwriting and the pharmacist said a man fitting jonas 's description picked it up . abe : you still think he 's innocent . bo : yeah . i do . abe : well , that does n't change what you have to do . we both know that . [ scene_break ] kate : do n't threaten me , victor . i wo n't have it . victor : this is no time for bravado , kate . you 're not doing this to my godson . kate : godson . what does that mean ? victor : it means i 'm looking after him . and you 've got a lot of work to do in a very short period of time . kate : there is an overwhelming amount of evidence against him . victor : yes , thanks to you ! kate : why do n't you just think about what he 's done , what he 's done to me , what he 's done to lucas . victor : i 've been thinking about what you 've done , kate , and for once i think you 've gone too far . so what are you gon na do to make this right ? lucas : mom . what is it , what 's going on ? victor : well , are you gon na tell him , kate ... or should i ? [ scene_break ] bo : i care about finding out who poisoned chloe , and it sure as hell was n't the doc . daniel : watch her . you watch kate very carefully , and then you can prove that it was her . sami : come on , just tell me what happened -- all of it !	sami tries to get meredith to talk about emily , but all she will say is that everything changed between her and her sister because of emily 's fiance , rafe . she tells sami that rafe was n't as wonderful as they all thought at first . meanwhile , rafe learns that sami and roman have a secret . roman refuses to tell him anything . rafe catches sami in a lie when he learns she never showed up at the pub . he questions her about it once she arrives home . hope interrogates daniel , who continues to insist that kate is behind all of this , and that she is setting him up for chloe 's attempted murder . bo learns that only daniel 's fingerprints were found on the vial of poison . he thinks daniel is innocent , but abe tells him he must arrest daniel due to the overwhelming evidence against him . victor shows up at the hospital , and kate basically admits that she poisoned chloe herself . victor wonders how she will keep people from suspecting her when , all of a sudden , bo gives him a call to tell him about having to arrest daniel for the crime . victor is furious with kate , and threatens to tell lucas what she has done unless she makes this right . lucas shows up at the hospital , asking kate what has happened . lexie admits to nathan that there is little hope chloe will ever come out of her coma .

hope : i ca n't believe this . not from carly . bo : i know . hope : she just never seemed like the type of person who ... bo : who 'd be strung out on drugs . hope : right . but then again i never saw myself as having a drug problem . bo : whoa , hey , hey , stop . it 's totally different . those drugs were prescribed to you by a doctor . you had a bad reaction . you were n't dependent . hope : still . it really messed up our lives , did n't it ? you think it was photoshopped ? vivian 's still in town . bo : yeah , i know . carly , what are you doing here ? carly : i heard about ciara and theo . it 's terrible . i just wanted to make sure you were okay . bo : well , we just got a lead on her whereabouts . carly : i could n't stop thinking about you . i just could n't stop . you were always so strong , taking care of other people . you must be so worried and feeling helpless . bo : we might have caught a break here . carly : i will do whatever i can . let me help . i 'll do anything . bo : some mail came for you by the house . it looked like some important stuff . carly : it 's junk mail . kind of wasted a trip . whoops . bo : um , something 's going on with you that you 're not telling me ? carly : i 'm telling you i want you to leave me alone . bo : the last few times i saw carly , there was definitely something wrong . i should have seen this coming . she 's in trouble . big trouble . hope : then you and i are gon na help her . jennifer : roman . roman : jennifer , what 's wrong ? jennifer : i need to report a missing person . daniel : carly manning . vivian : how many hits ? is n't that what they 're called ? hits ? gus : well , let 's put it this way . dr. manning as now as infamous as the girl who did the friday song . vivian : oh . quinn 's work is absolute genius . gus : that was my idea . i put the picture online . vivian : yes , but if quinn had n't made sure that carly had the drugs , there would be no photographs to take . carly 's probably under a bed or in a closet somewhere hoping she 'll vanish . gus : actually she 's managed it . vivian : what ? gus : melanie and her friends are looking everywhere for her to no avail . vivian : well , i saw her at the pier , and she was n't in very good shape . oh , god , i hope wherever she is she stays there . quinn : so you 're carly manning ? the woman my mother is so eager to destroy . carly : where am i ? quinn : my hotel room . carly : how did i get here ? quinn : you do n't remember ? carly : what do you want from me ? brady : taylor tells me that ej remembered seeing melanie on the pier the night i beat him up , which means it 's only going to be a matter of time before he remembers everything . nicole : are you sure that 's what he said ? you know ej 's not gon na let this go . brady : oh , i know . i assumed that when i beat him up . nicole : i saw stefano , and he is chomping at the bit to get even . all he needs is a name . brady : there 's plenty of names . okay , there 's carly , there 's daniel , there 's melanie , there 's even jennifer deveraux , all right ? nicole : mm - hmm . brady : these are people that covered for me . it 's my turn to look out for them now . nicole : that 's admirable , and i love that about you . but this is ej we 're talking about , and i know how he operates better than you . he is not going to go after melanie or the others . he is going to go after you , and , in ej 's world , `` go after `` is a euphemism for kill . ej : melanie . do n't insult my intelligence . i know that you were there that night . i know that you came to my aid at the pier . and i know that you were doing it to cover for brady . melanie : i do n't know what you 're talking about . ej : do n't lie to me . i 'm not guessing , melanie . i remember . brady : did n't you both tell me that ej had grown a conscience , huh ? nicole : i do n't know . maybe . maybe for the women he 's screwed over , like me ... and you . but for someone who put him in the hospital ? trust me , he 's still kicking it old school . so he 's after you , and i 've managed to burn the few bridges i have built in this town . we should hit the road together . you will stay in one piece , and the kiriakis family and the dimera family war will be called off . taylor : okay , does it matter that i think this is the worst idea ever ? melanie : you 're bluffing . you are . i mean , let 's be honest . if you really knew who beat you up , you would n't be doing a little dance with me , ej . you 'd be out of bed searching for revenge . am i right ? ej : i know that you were there . melanie : okay . i 'm gon na get you another nurse , okay ? ej : i think i 'm quite happy with the one that i have . bo : yes , carly needs help . hope : whoever put that photograph online is trying to destroy her , bo . bo : i do n't think you and i are the ones to help her . hope : i -- roman : i 'm not sure about that . hope : why , what happened ? roman : daniel jonas and jennifer just arrived to report that carly 's been missing several hours . jennifer : roman just probably wants us to be here , you know , so -- if we have to give a statement or something . daniel : what are you doing ? what happened ? jennifer : just wiping some dirt off from digging in the dumpster . you do n't have to move away from me . i had gloves on . you 're fine . daniel : what were you doing in the dumpster ? jennifer : well , i was out behind salem inn , and i thought , if they 'd already emptied carly 's trash , maybe there would be a clue . if i found something , i could find where she is , you know . daniel : yeah . jennifer : i mean , it 's just an old reporter trick . daniel : yeah , well , plenty of your colleagues are on it right now , so ... i 'm sure it 's fine . jennifer : yeah , you know , i was upset about that at first , but maybe it 's good . maybe they can find something that will lead us to her , you know . daniel : well , i went door - to - door a few blocks from the inn . nobody remembered anything . jennifer : it 's all my fault . okay . you were right . this is all my fault , daniel . daniel : okay , maybe i was too hard -- jennifer : no , you were n't too hard on me . i could n't tell you that carly was doing drugs because then you would have to report her , right ? so i did n't want her to lose her career . but now look what she 's lost . maybe she 's lost more than that . daniel : okay , it is n't important who did what . but what is important is that we find carly . quinn : found you in the alley behind the inn . you were out of it . and there was a drunk who was trying to take advantage . that 's why our clothes are dirty . it 's -- do you remember any of that ? carly : i - i do n't -- i do n't know . quinn : i 'll find you something else to put on . carly : i can just go . quinn : whoa . here . carly : i can make it . quinn : lie back down . i do n't bite , you know . carly : that 's a relief , i guess . quinn : my name 's quinn . yours ? carly : carly . quinn : nice to meet you , carly . nicole : why do you get a vote on what brady and i do ? taylor : because i saw ej , and i know where his head is . brady : i know where his head is too , but i 'm not gon na say it with ladies present . taylor : i still believe he 's changed . nicole : and you still believe in the tooth fairy idea too , i assume . taylor : okay , what if he has n't ? do the two of you really want to spend the rest of your lives running from the dimera family ? brady : no . i 'm not going to . and that 's why i 'm staying put . that 's why i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm gon na find melanie , and i 'm gon na warn her . [ cell phone ringing ] brady : excuse me . that 's dario , and he 's gon na help me find out where she is . did you find her ? nicole : all right , um ... i ca n't believe i 'm gon na say this , but since you seem to be the one who makes ej want to be a better man , you 're the one who 's gon na have to tell him not to kill brady . melanie : ej , let go of my arm . ej : we 've dealt with each other before , melanie . you 'd do well to remember you 're a little bit out of your league . i know that you were there that night . i know that you helped me . you may have even saved my life . do you really want to continue to lie for a man who left you to clean up his mess ? melanie : i do n't know who saved you . and your chart says you have a pretty severe concussion , so this florence nightingale you 've created is probably something you made up when you were knocked out cold , because to me , you 're a lowlife criminal who drew a get - out - of - jail - free card and is lucky to be alive . ej : so are you , my dear . so are you . melanie : let me go , or i 'll scream . [ screams ] dario : let her go , or you 'll be screaming . jennifer : and it just took me a while to figure out what was wrong with carly , and then i finally did , and then it took me a while to confront her with it , but when i got up the nerve , she said that it was true . and then i just -- i kept it to myself . hope : why ? jennifer : i do n't know why . because she told me that she was okay and she had a handle on it , and i believed her . you know how disciplined carly is . and i know that she was having some personal problems , so i thought , okay , if she solves those , then she 's not gon na want to do the drugs anymore , right ? hope : mind telling us what those personal problems were ? jennifer : she was falling in love with daniel . daniel : okay , look , i had no idea . jennifer : and i did n't tell him . my mistake was i was trying to force the two of them together , and that 's why i broke up with daniel , so i told him about carly 's feelings for him , but i did n't tell him about the drugs . daniel : and i went to carly , and i told her that there was no chance for us , and i was pretty straightforward , and that was right before the pictures were taken . jennifer : anyway , she overdosed on pills last night . bo : my god . jennifer : someone took a picture of her . daniel : put it online . jennifer : and that 's when i found her this morning . daniel : well , you saved her life . jennifer : and she saw these pictures , and then she thought about everyone else that had probably seen these pictures . daniel : including melanie . jennifer : she was just humiliated . so she snuck out of the hotel room . we have n't seen her since . roman : well , we ca n't launch a missing person investigation till the person 's been missing for 24 hours . bo : roman -- roman : i 'm not done yet . but what i was gon na say is that picture on the internet changes all that . so , bo , hope , you two head up the investigation . whatever you need -- manpower , court orders -- you got it . you and carly saved my grandson 's eyesight . we owe you big time . we 'll find her . daniel : [ softly ] thank you . vivian : fate is so ... gus : fickle ? vivian : quinn managed to destroy carly and avenge lawrence , something i failed to do . i mean , it 's amazing . gus : mind - boggling . vivian : mm . what 's even more amazing is that quinn did n't even know lawrence . he resented him because i brought lawrence up as my son and made quinn have to deal with his father . gus : i know , madame . you 've told me several times . vivian : well , you know , i made a choice , i did n't want to interfere with lawrence 's happiness . quinn 's father did n't exactly give me a choice . gus : and lawrence was happy , was n't he ? right up until the moment his wife stuck a knife in him . vivian : yeah . i never understood quinn 's ... jealousy , but you know what ? it was because he truly cared , and now i know that . that -- that thing with his father , it was just a dalliance . i mean , he meant nothing to me . i 'll never understand it . how did he bring up such a fine son without any help from me ? gus : good question . why do n't you think about that ? quinn : do you want something to eat ? carly : no , i could n't . quinn : just some tea and dry toast . it might absorb the alcohol . carly : i do n't even remember getting drunk . why do i reek of beer ? quinn : what 's the last thing you do remember ? carly : feeling like my life was spinning out of control and i just had to make it stop . quinn : would it help to talk about it ? carly : you do n't even know me . quinn : sometimes it 's easier to tell your story to a total stranger . dario : i said let her go before i pull you out of that bed . ej : whoever you are , i really do n't think you want to give threats to me . dario : who i am ? i 'm rafe hernandez 's brother . ej : another one . great . you know , i 've had so much fun with your family . dario : and after what you did to him and sami , i 'd say you got off easy . you know , we should have never -- melanie : look , just forget it . come on . ej : i am going to remember , melanie . and not just your part in it . melanie : you 're bluffing . dario : yeah , good luck with that one . you 'll have an easier job of making a list of the people that do n't want you dead . [ door slams ] ej : [ clicking his tongue ] taylor : i do n't want brady getting hurt , but ej does n't listen to me anymore . nicole : okay . so since my plan is so crazy , do you have another one ? i did n't think so . taylor : so is melanie okay ? brady : dario says he 's gon na take care of her , but this one 's on me . nicole : what does that mean ? brady : it means i started this . so it means i 'm gon na finish it . i paid the bar bill . nicole : i 'm going with you . brady : look at me . look at me . you are not going with me . is that clear ? is it clear ? nicole : yeah , i guess . i guess . brady : good . good . taylor : brady . brady . please , please do not make this any worse . brady : i wo n't . nicole : oh , my god . do you buy that ? 'cause i sure as hell do n't . [ door slams ] melanie : ej , can you hear me ? it 's gon na be okay . i 'm gon na take care of you , okay ? ej : nice try , melanie . but i saw the look on your face . i 'm right . bo : so you guys and melanie were the only ones in carly 's room , and carly said she needed a minute ? jennifer : yeah , and that 's when she went into the bathroom . daniel : then it turned out to be more than a minute , and then melanie went to go check on her . jennifer : the window was open , carly was gone , and we just assumed she went down the fire escape . bo : right . you think she went to make a drug buy ? jennifer : no , bo , she knew , at this point , that she needed help . she was ready to go to rehab . and then that picture showed up , and she was humiliated . but what i 'm trying to say is , is that what she 's doing ? do you think she 's out trying to buy more drugs ? hope : hello . jennifer : what ? bo : what ? hope : here . take a look . this is the salem inn surveillance footage from this afternoon . it does n't cover the whole area outside the inn , but what it does show is one of the frequent fliers in the area . bo : mm - hmm . hope : right about the time carly disappeared . daniel : wait , what 's a frequent flier ? bo : an individual who gets picked up often enough to have their own cot at county lockup . lewis . jennifer : wait , what does that mean ? what kind of frequent flier is he ? bo : drugs and alcohol mostly , but we 'll be able to find him . daniel : well , is he the kind of guy who gets violent ? bo : you know what , we 'll go pick him up and find out what he has to say , okay ? carly : you do n't want to hear my story . quinn : why not ? carly : this is all my fault . quinn : what is ? carly : would you believe i 'm a doctor ? a surgeon . you would n't want me cutting on you right now , would you ? quinn : what happened ? carly : a long time ago , i married the wrong guy . quinn : what was his name ? carly : lawrence . lawrence was a little weird . but i did n't find that out until it was too late . quinn : how was he weird ? carly : he liked to keep me locked up . quinn : come on , you ca n't stop now . carly : what ? quinn : how did you get away from lawrence ? carly : i waited until my son grew up . did i tell you i have a son ? quinn : no . carly : nicholas . oh , my precious boy . from the moment he was born , he had this sweetness about him . oh , and he had a smile that would light up the room . i mean , everyone who meets him ... quinn : everyone who meets him ... carly : oh , my baby nicholas , you sweet boy . quinn : you 're very proud of him , are n't you ? carly : always . always . quinn : where is he now ? carly : mm . now with ... does n't matter . quinn : oh , it must matter to you . carly : it would if ... quinn : if what ? carly : if i could see him . if i could put my arms around him , tell him ... i want to tell him so much ... my baby . oh , he 's got a smile . i can see it in my mind 's eye . it just lights up a room . quinn : so you said . carly : oh , i 'm repeating myself . i 'm sorry . quinn : but can you do that ? see your son ? hold him in your arms ? carly : no , i ca n't . i ca n't even talk to him . quinn : and why is that ? carly : he does n't speak to me . quinn : why not ? carly : i killed his father . quinn : but you 're not in prison . carly : it was self - defense . so i was finally free . but i lost my son . you see what i mean ? it 's all my fault . vivian : you know , i always imagined quinn would grow up to be as ineffectual as his father , but , in fact , i see more and more of myself in him . gus : so do i . vivian : hmm . he single - handedly destroyed carly . gus : she was rather ripe for the plucking , do n't you think ? vivian : what does that mean ? gus : she almost witnessed the murder of her beloved daughter . remember the comb i got you ? the one that was laced with the poison ? the one you were supposed to give melanie on her wedding day but did n't because you decided to try and push her off the roof of the kiriakis mansion instead ? vivian : that was a long time ago . gus : and there was the plan to have chloe lane murder carly manning . vivian : i do n't want to dwell on negativity . gus : i wonder why . vivian : those plans were too complicated . quinn 's was simple and direct . revenge -- it is a wonderful thing to share with people you love . gus : you know what , why do n't you do just that ? vivian : gus . oh ... he 'll be all right . chad : ah . you 're still awake . ej : what are you doing here so late ? chad : ca n't a guy just visit his own brother ? ej : oh , come on , chad . father sent you . right ? chad : no . but i did hear him tell kate that you think the attack on you was an attack on the entire family . ej : did n't mean to frighten you . chad : i 'm concerned about stefano . so is it true ? ej : it was just a feeling really . chad : yeah , well , what kind of feeling ? ej : i do n't know . i mean , i thought it would become clearer , but unfortunately it does n't seem to have . chad : so you have n't remembered anything else ? ej : no . you know , i 'm not really sure that i ever will . hope : oh , lewis , my friend , how are you ? bo : oh . hey , man . [ claps lewis 's back ] long time no see . lewis : what do you guys want with me ? bo : beautiful night . is n't it just ... [ inhales ] beautiful ? do n't you love how the moon glints off the edge of that dumpster ? hope : oh , yeah . that 's enough to make a person 's thoughts turn to romance . lewis : i did n't do nothing . okay ? hope : seen this woman today , lewis ? bo : come on , man . you help us out , next time you 're a guest of the county , i 'll throw in turndown service . lewis : never seen this lady in my life . hope : really ? that 's funny . because she went missing right here . and the surveillance tape of the area only had one guy on it . and guess who it was , lewis ? bo : i hate to do this to you . looks like we 're gon na have to haul him in . hope : oh , i just hope he 's not carrying anything of a suspicious nature on him . bo : yeah , 'cause that would make him a three - time dummy , and , the last time i checked , the state pen does not have the amenities that county does . lewis : okay , look , i saw her . all right ? but i did n't do nothing to her . bo : well , do you know where she might be ? lewis : yeah , i got an idea . jennifer : do n't you think you should just keep trying to call melanie ? daniel : no , her phone 's off . i mean , i do n't know why . jennifer : my gosh , what is taking so long ? daniel : you know that saying `` no news is good news `` ? i think that 's true in this case . roman : bo and hope just called in . jennifer : hey , what 's going on ? roman : they found their man . he says he might know where carly is . jennifer : [ gasps ] daniel : oh , that 's great . roman : okay , i 'll let you know what we find out . jennifer : okay . daniel : oh , my god . that is -- jennifer : thank god . thank god . carly : you should really get me out of here . quinn : why ? carly : well , 'cause i smell like a brewery and i ruin everything . quinn : what does that mean ? carly : every man that i ever loved never ended up loving me back . quinn : well , maybe you should stop taking up with the wrong men . carly : my head 's killing me . quinn : will you at least let me get you some aspirin ? carly : no , i do n't like to take pills . anymore . quinn : even if you can get rid of the headache ? carly : you 're right . quinn : all right , do n't go anywhere . carly : could n't if i tried . nicole : oh , my god , i ca n't just sit here . i 'm going after brady whether he likes it or not . taylor : okay , wait , he just told you not to follow him . nicole : so ? taylor : so for once in your life , will you please listen to somebody else ? nicole : the pot calling the kettle black much ? did you listen to me when i told you i was in love with ej ? and you know how i feel about brady . i thought you were clear on that . and for someone who says she 's all about family , you have a funny way of showing it . you have some serious problems , taylor . taylor : yeah , you 're right . i do . chad : so this morning you tell father there 's a plot against the entire dimera family . now you say it 's just a feeling and you do n't remember anything , so ... ej : you seem suspicious . chad : well , still think father sent me over here to pump you for information ? ej : i ca n't think of any possible reason why i would hold out on father . chad : well , i do n't know . he was ranting about you taking the so - called high road and surrendering your own children because of taylor . he also said that you 're trying to win the love of a woman who refuses to give you the time of day . but it does n't matter what you tell me . you and i both know that our father will not give up until he finds out who tried to kill his son .

[ door closes ] jj : i really wanted to call or text you . um , and i - i 'd take out my phone , and i 'd stop because i just ... i had no clue what to say to you . but i - i want you to know -- and i 'm totally sure that this is gon na probably come out wrong -- that i did n't mean to push you . it 's just ... i mean , you 're so beautiful and -- and -- and sexy and -- paige : jj -- jj : no , that -- can -- can we -- can you erase that , please ? just -- that was a stupid , guy thing to say . i 'm not pressuring you . and i - i would n't do that . that -- that is not like me , and , uh , just -- that is not cool . um , i mean , i 'd never try to get you to do something that you 're not ready for . and i - i hate myself if i offended you . you 're just ... you 're just great and amazing . can you ever forgive me ? victor : [ chuckles ] anybody order a hooker ? eve : victor , you have n't changed a bit . that 's not a compliment . victor : what are you doing on my property , eve ? eve : i thought maybe my sister might be here . victor : she was , but i gave her the old heave - ho . i have this prejudice against money - grubbing whores . but then she 's just targeting one drunk rich guy . you , on the other hand , are stealing from our wounded warriors . so you might as well pack your bags and get the hell out of salem and prostitute yourself somewhere else . eve : sorry , victor . you can huff and puff until you stroke out . i do n't give a damn . i 'm back , and i am gon na get what 's mine . theresa : oh , thank god . i was -- i was just so worried when i saw the papers this morning . brady : abe said there was n't enough evidence to -- to bring charges . theresa : well , i 'm just so happy . brady : thanks ... theresa : yeah . brady : for your support . theresa : hey , i was just telling the truth . brady : [ sighs ] theresa : i mean , brady , you would never , ever deliberately try to hurt your father . you know that . brady : if i was sober , no , but i was n't sober . i was so far from sober that i do n't remember what the hell happened , theresa . theresa : yeah , well , i do , and i saw him attack you . brady : and i have a hard time believing that . theresa : [ sighs ] brady , he has you so twisted up . brady : hey , i do n't -- i do n't want to talk about him . theresa : yeah , i understand . i ... you know , i was just telling my sister about how traumatized you were by the whole thing . a - and i get that , of course . but ... i mean , life moves on , right ? so maybe now we can just take a deep breath and -- and think about what comes next ? brady : yeah , maybe we should do that . [ sighs ] we need to talk about our marriage ... uh , i mean , rather , our annulment . theresa : yeah , i ... look , do n't -- do n't stress about that , okay ? just take -- take your time . brady : no , i 'm not . i 'm not stressed out about it . i 'll simply have the papers drawn up , and i will send them to you , okay ? theresa : hey , brady , um ... about the annulment ... brady : do you have a problem with it ? paige : i 'm not going to forgive you , because you did n't do anything wrong . you kissed me , and i overreacted . jj : well , i should have heard you when you said `` no . `` i should have stopped . russ : well , you can stop now . jj : i 'm sorry , boss . russ : oh , hey , do n't be . look , this is your last day , and even though you have a couple hours left to go ... let 's call it done . [ dustpan clatters ] russ : you did a good job , deveraux . jj : thank you . russ : uh ... i like that you proved me wrong about you . now give me that vest . come on . jj : all right . paige : [ chuckles ] russ : oy . stay in school . [ both chuckle ] jj : paige , want to ... come with me ? nicole : i loved you . i did what i did because i loved you . eric : no , you loved the idea of love , but you did n't love me . i do n't know what it was , but it was n't love . nicole : you son of a bitch . timothy : eric . eric : brother timothy . it 's good to see you . thank you for seeing me . i need your help . it 's hard to do god 's will when you do n't know what it is . theresa : no , brady , o - of course there 's no problem . i mean , i 'm not going to hold you to something that we -- we both know was a big mistake for both of us . brady : okay . theresa : i just ... i - i do n't want you to feel pressure . i mean , do n't feel like you have to get this done a.s.a.p . brady : i 'm sorry that i dragged you into all this . theresa : no , please do n't . please . come on , hey , i ... i was just standing by a friend . i mean , i - i know that you said that we ca n't hang out anymore , but we are still friends , are n't we , brady ? brady : we will be again . i know that . but right now i just -- i just need to -- to fly solo ... to get my head ... theresa : yeah . brady : straight . justin will be in touch . theresa : okay . it 's just , um , a bump in the road , a temporary setback . [ sighs ] oh , then why do i feel so bad ? [ sighs ] i wonder if you ever get to feeling so small eve : hey . you 're crying . theresa : you know what ? it 's just aller -- allergies , okay ? can you go away ? eve : let me help , sweetie . theresa : i just told you you can go away . eve : well , i just feel awful . i mean , i can see that you 're upset , and i know that i was n't nice to you on the phone , so ... theresa : oh , yeah , so you 're gon na just come over here and pretend to be nice so that i 'll do whatever it is that you want me to do ? eve : my , you 've gotten so cynical . theresa : [ scoffs ] look , do n't make yourself comfortable , okay ? [ doorbell rings ] theresa : [ sighs ] [ knock at door ] [ water running ] anne : you , young lady , you are way out of line . first , you call me back from the human resources retreat . you know how much that means to me . but i drop everything -- and by everything , i mean the complimentary pomegranate facial -- to come back here to salem to calm your ass down . and then i put my professional standing at risk , and what do you do ? you turn on your heel and you walk out on me ? theresa : um ... anne , this is my sister , eve . eve , this is my boss , anne milbauer . eve : hello , anne . my sister simply gushes about how much she loves working for you . anne : oh . [ giggles sarcastically ] if you think you 're getting rid of me 'cause your sister 's here , you got another thing coming . theresa : no , no , no , i 'm just -- i 'm gon na get rid of her because you 're here . if you 'll excuse us ... eve : oh , sure . well , it 's so nice to match a face with the name . anne : oh . eve : here you go , dear . a face that could use more pomegranate . oops . let me grab my purse . ta - ta . theresa : anne , i am so sorry about this morning . i just -- i really needed to talk to brady . anne : you 're crying . you -- you were walking on air when you left the hospital . theresa : yeah . brady , uh -- he decided that he wants to annul the marriage . anne : [ scoffs ] okay , but you -- you already knew that . theresa : well , i - i certainly had n't given up . anne : oh . theresa : i mean , anne , when -- you know , when brady and i said that -- [ sighs ] when we said , `` till death do us part , `` i - i really meant it . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : i just -- i think ... you know , i think brady needs a little space ... anne : mm - hmm . theresa : and i - i can be patient . you know , as a -- as a wise man once said , `` time is on my side , `` so ... anne : yeah . okay . i 'm sorry , but did you forget you 're talking to me ? can you save the tammy wynette crap for that dumb stud with the two - point - gazillion alcohol level . theresa : do n't talk about brady that way , okay ? anne : okay . okay , let 's talk about you . what i want to know is why you were so desperate to find out if john black was maybe gon na wake up and then so over the moon when you found out he wo n't . marlena : [ gasps ] john ? john . timothy : i would have thought you 'd be happier about the chance to plead your case in rome . eric : nicole is going to be there too . timothy : well , that 's good . her testimony could really help . but after everything that 's happened , it must be , well , strange that she 's the one who holds the key to your vocation in her hands . eric : brother timothy , i 've been praying for help ... [ sighs ] getting past the feelings that i have for her . when i see her , i ca n't bear it . sometimes i think i 'm as angry with her as i am with kristen ... maybe more . is it normal to have such ... anger towards another human being ? timothy : i have to ask -- are you sure the emotion you feel for nicole is anger ? nicole : i want to help ... that is if we 're still friends . brady : sure . we 're still friends . i 'm in no position to be picky . nicole : [ chuckles ] brady : [ laughs ] what is it ? what 's wrong ? nicole : i just ca n't believe someone still wants to be my friend . jj : do you remember what a jerk i was about having to do community service ? paige : kind of . jj : you know what ? i 'm really glad i did , because that 's how i met you . and i want you to know -- i do n't care about our moms or the lawsuit or anything . paige : no , me -- me either . jj : i 'm just so glad you were cool about last night , because ... if you had n't have forgiven me ... paige : hey , there -- there was nothing to forgive . jj : i - i - i would have died . paige : what ? jj : paige , that would have killed me ... [ scoffs ] because i - i want to be with you ... always . paige : me too . victor : that harpy eve donovan had the temerity to show up on my doorstep . jennifer : uh , hello , victor . victor : now , you listen to me . if you need anything -- you need money , you need lawyers , anything -- to put that woman away , you 've got it . jennifer : you 're always so wishy - washy . let me handle her , okay ? victor : oh , i do n't know . you deal with a creep like eve , you need a creep like me to watch your back . jennifer : [ laughing ] okay , well , i will keep that in mind . victor : good . daniel 's off to a medical conference . jennifer : did you just change the subject ? victor : hmm ? no . we were talking about you , about your life . jennifer : no , you were talking about daniel , who asked me to give him space , and i 'm going to do that , victor . victor : that is a big mistake . jennifer : victor , i appreciate you being on my side , but daniel made it very clear . he is not interested in seeing me anymore . he does n't want me in his life . so what other choice do i have ? victor : you do a , um -- a girl thing . i do n't know -- maggie can get me to change my mind about anything . jennifer : victor , that is not an option . the only choice i have is to make peace with the situation that i am in ... and that is letting daniel go . daniel : [ laughs ] well , we 'll video - chat tonight , and we 'll finally end the longest game in history . oh , i beg to differ , little man . i am gon na take you down . that 's right -- down . oh , you 're probably right . all right , i love you , buddy . bye . [ exhales deeply ] [ sighs ] jj : you really mean that ? paige : of course i do . jj : i , uh ... i think i 'm in love with you . paige : and i love you . victor : you know , you two have a lot in common . you 're both damn fools . jennifer : victor , we have tried so many times . victor : then try again ! if you do n't find some way to talk to daniel -- and i mean soon -- you are going to be very , very sorry . eric : i keep telling myself , no matter what nicole 's done , i can not forgive her . but i still have feelings for her ... such strong feelings . timothy : are you still in love with her ? theresa : [ sighs ] anne , you 're right . i ... i was rude , and i 'm so sorry . anne : and now you 're dodging the question . [ cell phone ringing ] anne : [ sighs ] i got to go . but i am not dropping this . okay ? theresa : hey , um ... let 's get facials sometime . anne : let 's get real . theresa : [ scoffs ] damn , damn , damn . ugh . eve : seems like somebody 's had a really , really bad day . theresa : did you forget something ? eve : yeah , i kind of did . i kind of forgot to close the door , so i heard your entire tête - à - tête with elphaba . and you know what ? you did not answer her question . theresa : will you just leave me alone ? eve : last night you were desperate to leave salem . today you 're staying . now , what could have possibly changed your mind ... maybe john never waking up ... hmm ? so last night why were you so afraid he would ? brady : so i 'm done . i 'm done with a lot of things , nicole . i 'm done with liquor , drugs , lying , hurting people . but most of all , the mistakes i 've made with women -- kristen ... theresa . it 's over . it 's all over . roman : is something wrong ? marlena : oh , oh , uh ... i do n't know . i - i ... i - i dozed off , and i woke up with this panic . roman : well , that makes sense . this is all pretty scary . marlena : what ? no , no , it 's -- look , i 'm a doctor . i 'm levelheaded . roman : but ? marlena : but i - i 've got this feeling of ... dread ... like something terrible is about to happen .	abe told brady that the da decided not to press charges against him . victor thought brady should be happy , but brady was still worried about john . nicole saw daniel at the hospital and they ended up arguing over eric . eric told roman and marlena that he 's going to rome . they talked about that for a little while before marlena asked eric to say a blessing for john . roman watched the expression on marlena 's face when eric gave the blessing . eve called theresa and wanted a favor from her . they argued about it before theresa ended the call . roman told marlena that she was still in love with john . victor warned brady now to let theresa get money out of him . eric and nicole bumped into each other . eric asked her if she talked to the bishop .
brady : i feel like we 've interviewed half the women in salem . theresa : i know . brady : i mean , this agency is supposed to be known for top - of - the - line nannies , right ? theresa : so they say . brady : so why is every woman that comes through these doors unqualified ? theresa : i have no idea . aiden : i sent my assistant home early tonight . here , have a seat , please . ben : your message said you got another call from florida . aiden : yeah , the authorities apparently have some more questions . ben : am i in trouble ? clyde : all right , stop talking and listen , the both of you . we got everything we need on that lab technician . you know how it goes down , right ? okay , it happens tonight . no screw - ups . kayla : ah , great . i 'm glad i caught you . abigail : hi , i texted you . did you get it ? kayla : i did . and the answer is yes . you are eight weeks along , and you can find out who your baby 's father is . will : who 's that ? who 's that ? chad : and look at you . all ready for bed ? oh , my god , she is gon na break so many hearts , will . will : oh , i know . will you hold her for a second ? i got to grab her blanket . chad : i would love to . will : you remember your honorary uncle chad ? chad : i would hope so . oh - ho - ho , what a feeling . yeah . you are magic . you know that ? huh ? will : did you tell him that you 're pregnant ? abigail : no . will : have you given any more thought about what you 'll do if it turns out that chad 's the father ? abigail : yes , will , of course i have . that 's all i think about . eric : i do love you . i want you to have the life that makes you happy . i 'll never tell daniel what happened between us that night . you have nothing to fear about that ever again . nicole : thank you . does this mean you 've gotten over how you feel about me ? eric : no . i do n't think i ever will . daniel : serena . serena : daniel , there 's something that you need to hear . daniel : look , if this is about nicole ... serena : it 's not . it 's eric . nicole : it ca n't be that way . you 're saying you still love me , but that i have nothing to worry about ? it ca n't be both ways . eric : yes , it can . and it is . daniel : this is about eric ? serena : yes . daniel : okay . before you start , though , if you think i 'm gon na help you fix things with eric , you better think again . serena : that 's not what this is about , daniel . i did n't come here for a favor . i came here to do one for you . one , two , three o'clock . four o'clock pop . eric : all i 've done is think about this , and pray , and ... nicole : eric , i am glad you still have your faith , but -- eric : nicole , just hear me out , please . my prayers were answered . but , as usual , not the way i expected . you see , it finally hit me , the real reason why i needed to tell daniel . it 's because if i thought if he knew ... you and i could have a chance to be together . nicole : eric ... eric : but that 's not love . it 's selfishness . and if i love you , honestly love you -- and i do -- what i should want is for you to be happy . what makes you happiest , and what you deserve , is to be with daniel . daniel : you 're gon na do me a favor ? serena : daniel , i 've known about you a lot longer than i 've known you . daniel : because of melanie . serena : and when i met you , i -- is this nicole 's jacket ? daniel : yeah , yeah . serena : is she here ? 'cause she should hear this too . daniel : no , no , she 's out . serena : she 'll be back soon ? daniel : i think so . serena : good . i 'll wait . brady : i have no idea what to tell the buyers at this point . it 's something i 'm gon na have to deal with at the office . theresa : work 's a real killer , huh ? brady : you have no idea . theresa , do you think we 're being too picky ? theresa : are you kidding ? this is our son we 're talking about . brady : i realize that . theresa : come on , brady . you 've interviewed all those losers . you know how incompetent they are . let 's not forget that last disaster we had to fire . brady : hayley , right , i know . what about that women that came here the other day who had just moved here ? she seemed okay . theresa : the one i caught googling your net worth ? that 's not okay , brady . brady : you 're right . that 's not okay . theresa : listen , there 's a parenting website i found , and it spelled out exactly what we need , all right ? a nanny has to have the right qualifications , you know ? tate 's a helpless little baby . and who 's gon na look out for him if we do n't ? brady : right , i know . when 's the next interview ? theresa : it 's not for a while . listen , i need to go check in at the hospital , okay ? but tate 's sleeping , and the monitor 's on nice and loud . so i 'll be back later , all right ? brady : okay , all right . maggie : still no nanny ? brady : nope . maggie : is it really so difficult to find someone ? brady : apparently so . theresa : [ laughs softly ] yeah , it 's really hard ... when you 've rigged the system . will : oh , i 'm sorry . sonny 's not here . i can leave him a message if you want . chad : actually , i came to see you . will : oh , okay . well , just give me a minute . i got to go put her down . she 's staying with the sitter tonight , and it 's usually better for the trip over if she 's already asleep , so ... chad : okay . good night . will : say bye - bye . chad : good night . ben : was it the cops who called you ? aiden : no , it was an assistant state 's attorney . ben : so they 're keeping tabs on me . aiden : well , more like following up . ben : it does n't make sense . i was a total nobody in that whole gambling thing down in florida . plus , i thought they closed the case . why open it again ? aiden : would they have a reason to open it again ? kayla : we have chad 's dna on file , so we 'll use that to check for paternity . abigail : okay . hey , kayla , thank you . thank you so much , so much , for helping me with this . kayla : you are welcome . i know that this has been weighing you down the last few weeks . now it 's time to know for sure . abigail : doing this is ... sort of questionable , right ? kayla : somewhat , yes . but actually , the privacy issue is fairly small . all i 'm gon na do is just check for a match . and then you 'll finally know for sure . abigail : right , then i 'll know if the father is either ben or chad . will : it 's a nice shot , huh ? chad : yeah . did you know grace would have 6 years old now ? will : yeah . 6 this last january . chad : yeah , i guess it 's easy for you to remember . you know , you actually got to spend time with her , hold her and play with her . will : do you think about grace a lot ? chad : yeah , i try not to go there . but , you know , anytime i see a little girl or , you know , especially when i hold arianna , it just all kind of comes back . will : did you come here just to talk about grace ? chad : no . no , actually , i came here to talk to you about abigail . woman : how are you doing in there baby girl ? ben : mr. jennings , i have no idea why they 'd still be looking at me . aiden : okay . is there anything that you forgot to tell me ? ben : nothing , no . look , i know i should have been more upfront with you when i first came to see you . but aside from telling people where they could go to gamble , if they asked , seriously , i walked -- i made sure i walked the line when i was in florida . aiden : yeah , when you were going by the name of kevin reynolds ? ben : i used that name to keep my father from tracking me down . aiden : yeah , you told me that . and he never did ? ben : no . aiden : well , then it 's probably nothing , okay ? so go . do whatever you 're gon na do tonight , and do n't even worry about it . ben : yeah , okay . thanks . aiden : all right . ben : all right . aiden : take care . ben : you too . aiden : [ sighs ] abigail : [ exhales ] kayla : i thought you 'd be relieved . at least the suspense of all this will be over with . is there something else ? abigail : yeah , lots . kayla : about ben or chad ? abigail : well , how about people finding out before my family does ? hope already knows . kayla : you told her ? abigail : no , i did n't tell her . she accidentally spotted the box that the pregnancy test came in . kayla : but she does n't know that chad could be the father ? abigail : no . no , she 'll go through the roof if chad is . kayla : no , she would n't , baby . she would support you , just as jj and your mother would . they all love you . and no matter who the father is , this child is gon na be yours . abigail : well , i do n't -- i do n't see them throwing a big celebration if the baby turns out to be a dimera . will : chad , i do n't know why you want to discuss abigail with me , but ... chad : because you 're close with her , all right ? and i have to talk to her . will : call her . chad : she wo n't pick up . all right , i went to visit her at the hospital today , which made her mad , and then furious . and then ben 's old man shows up , so i was out the door . will : why was she angry ? chad : okay , look , here it goes . i did something last month that hurt her , badly . like , think of something so disgusting that you would n't even want to say it out loud , and then multiply that by ten , and that 's what i did . will : why ? chad : because i love her . clyde : wait a minute . that 's all there was to it ? ben : well , yeah . mr. jennings said it was probably nothing . but still , i thought i 'd let you know . clyde : yeah , i 'm glad you did . that 's my boy . i 'll see you soon . nicole : thank you . you made my day . my life . eric : hardly . but i 'm glad . nicole : but ... eric : what ? nicole : we still have to worry about serena . eric : i do n't think so . i mean , what does she actually know ? nothing . i mean , if she wants to dig , let her . she 'll just come up empty . nicole : and you wo n't ... eric : say a word . i 'm at peace . there 's nothing more to say to anyone . you certainly wo n't say a word to anyone . nicole : no . eric : then serena will never have anything more than a wild guess . daniel : no , serena . no , you are not waiting for nicole to come home . the hell with this conversation . in fact , we 're not even having a conversation . serena : wait , did you just say that i 'm not waiting for nicole to come home ? meaning she lives here ? daniel : yeah . yeah , we 're engaged . but do n't expect an invitation . we 're done . serena : no , you 're right . you 're right . we do n't need to wait for nicole to come home . we need to do this right now . you deserve to know what 's going on . maggie : tate looks so sweet when he 's sleeping . brady : yes , he does . okay . maggie : are those all the nannies you 've interviewed ? brady : yep , and it looks like tomorrow we 'll be interviewing some more . maggie : you know , i really do n't understand why it 's so difficult . brady : theresa downloaded a bunch of questions that we were supposed to ask . and sure enough , none of them made the cut . i know we 're supposed to demand the best . tate deserves the best . but the longer we drag this out , maggie ... maggie : the longer she lives here . brady : and i 'm swamped at the office , so i 've had to give her every responsibility . she found the agency . she 's setting up the interviews . maggie : mm - hmm . so do you think she 's dragging her feet ? brady : no , i mean ... not exactly . maggie : all right , then . what exactly ? theresa : [ laughs ] it is exactly the way i planned . it could n't be better . anne : did i deliver , or did i de - liv - er ? theresa : oh , you did . and your friend who runs the agency is amazing . anne : yeah , gloria 's always talking about how there 's , like , ten deadhead losers for every decent nanny . you know , she 's gon na want a little something for her efforts here . theresa : yeah , tell her not to worry , i 'll come through . anne : okay . oh , no , i told her . i told her that , despite what i thought , you 're gon na marry this gorgeous gazillionaire . theresa : look , anne , i do n't want to marry brady because he 's rich , okay ? we have a child together , and i love him . oh , anne , i love him so much . i love his heart , and i love his soul , and -- anne : yeah , and his money . theresa : look , anne , stop making snide remarks , okay ? i 'm serious . just focus . did you get a hold of your friend ? anne : i did . she 'll be here any minute . theresa : great . okay , the main thing is , i just someone around who will say the right things and drop little hints to brady about how i 'm just this amazing -- anne : oh , there she is . hey , megan , right on time . theresa , please meet megan , your dream nanny . will : wait , so you did something awful to abigail because you love her ? chad : yeah , i know . it was stupid . but that 's why i need to explain it to her , and soon . will : why soon ? chad : she moved in with ben a while ago . for all i know , he 's thinking it 's time to take it to the next level . will : yeah , that could happen . chad : but i got to at least give it a shot , right ? i mean , even marlena said that if i love somebody , i ca n't just do nothing . will : does marlena know that you 're talking about abigail ? chad : no . but , i mean , she 's still right . will : okay , but , chad ... what if abigail is sold on ben and she wants nothing to do with you ? chad : then ... i back off , permanently . but i have to at least give it a shot , right ? the problem is , is she wo n't talk to me , which is why i need you to get to her and convince her that she has to hear me out . please . abigail : that 's why i have n't said anything to my mom or jj . kayla : well , you need the facts first . abigail : right . and then , even if it 's worst - case scenario , i 'll tell them , and i 'll hope that they 'll understand . kayla : you know what , i ca n't say this enough . they love you , and they 're gon na love your baby . does anybody in this family love sydney or johnny any less because of who their father was ?

[ laughter ] maggie : who cares if he did n't call us ? he 's back . justin : what made you decide to come back anyway ? not that i 'm complaining . sonny : oh , well -- [ knock on door ] justin : i bet that 's your mother . there she is . adrienne : ca n't believe it ! hi , baby ! sonny : hi , mom . adrienne : oh , honey . oh , you 're back , you 're really , really back . sonny : yes . i 'm sorry i was gone for so long . you know , i just had to take care of a few things in paris . adrienne : you know , honey , it does n't matter . you 're here now -- that 's all that matters . sonny : yes . and as soon as i heard about uncle vic and maggie , i wanted to take the first flight out . victor : well , why did n't you ? maggie : victor ! sonny : well , i - i could n't . at least i thought i could n't . i hope you can forgive me . victor : oh , do n't worry about it -- was n't much you could do here anyway . sonny : yeah , but -- victor : just save it . you 're not the one i 'm looking for an apology from anyway . hochman : all the arrangements are made for mrs. kiriakis ' surgery . all i need now is her signed consent form . deimos : i have no doubt that once my brother tells maggie that you 're the top surgeon for her type of injury , she 'll want the surgery . hochman : mm - hmm . your brother is going to wonder why i 'm agreeing to do this operation now after i turned him down flat ... him and his blank check . deimos : oh , i 'm sure we can think our way around that . hochman : other than the fact that you 're forcing me to do it . deimos : if you do n't want to be blackmailed , doctor , maybe you should have led a different kind of life . hochman : [ laughs ] mr. kiriakis , i know that you and your brother hate each other 's guts ... yet now you 're resorting to blackmail to help his wife . before i take her into the o.r . , i think i deserve to know what your agenda really is . justin : so sonny , you 're about to tell us what was keeping you so busy in paris . sonny : real estate . adrienne : excuse me ? sonny : yeah , it was a little complicated , but it 's finally closed , and i can give this ... to you . victor : where 'd you get this kind of money ? sonny : i sold the club you bought me in paris . and the building it was in . victor : you what ? sonny : yeah . you put it in my name . victor : it 's been in the family for years . it 's right next to the gare de lyon -- it 's prime real estate ! sonny : i know , and that 's why i held out until i got the asking price . maggie : but that was supposed to be your inheritance . sonny : please let me do this . you two have done so much for me ... it 's really terrible what happened to you . i wish i could do more . adrienne : he means it , victor . take the money . victor : you know , you did n't do a bad job raising this kid . come here . you 're the best , sonny . the best of all of us . deimos : i do n't owe you an explanation , doctor . i do n't owe you anything . all you need to know is that the people of this town feel that maggie would never knowingly hurt another human being ... not in her entire life . now the woman ca n't walk . that just is n't right . i want her fixed because it 's the right thing to do . that is my agenda . and you 're gon na make that happen , or the whole world is gon na know all your dirty little secrets . hochman : you are asking a lot of a retired surgeon . deimos : you may be retired , but all your colleagues feel that you 're the best hope for maggie . trust me : i 've spoken to all of them . now , let 's go . hochman : go where ? deimos : if i 'm going to sell this to my brother and maggie , i 'm gon na need your help . do n't disappoint me , doctor . [ tense music ] who am i kidding ? they 're tailing me . i 'm never gon na get out of here .

[ bottle clatters ] he 's always hated her . i mean , recently they just had this major , major fight . john : yeah , brady , i know all about that . but ... come on . what the hell does vic get out of taking your son ? brady : i do n't know , maybe , uh ... if he holds on to tate long enough , theresa and i , we fight , we -- we end our engagement . john : all right , so he ... brady : he causes a rift ! john : takes his great - grandson away from parents that he loves on a chance that he can break them up ? brady : but he also gets to frame summer . it 's like a two - for - one . john : [ scoffs ] brady , you think he would really risk losing you and maggie ? come on , pal , i 'm not buying it . i 'm not -- i - i do n't get it . i just think there 's someone else who 's trying to set up victor and summer . brady : all right , then , damn it , help me out here . help me out , 'cause there 's something i do n't understand . like steve said ... what are we missing ? [ dramatic music ] adrienne : so you 're home for good ? sonny : mom . adrienne : what ? it 's just a question . justin : maybe he does n't know the answer yet . victor : what the hell are you doing here ? deimos : i came here to discuss something with you and maggie . i had no idea that i 'd be walking into a family reunion . you must be jackson , my grandnephew . yeah . everyone calls me sonny . deimos : well , good to finally meet you , sonny . and you must be the beautiful mother i 've heard so much about . adrienne : cut the crap . victor : if this is another attempt to try and patch things up between us ... deimos : well , as i told you , i 'm not giving up until i prove to you that i 'm on the level . hopefully , this 'll do the trick . victor : well , it better be good . deimos : doctor . victor : what the hell are you doing here ? i offered you the moon to operate on maggie , and you would n't even consider it . deimos : dr. hochman has since decided to rethink that decision . he 's now ready and willing to perform the operation to get maggie back on her feet . maggie : what ? sonny : y - you can do that ? you can help maggie walk again ? hochman : i 've read all of your medical records , i understand the full nature of your injury , and i know i can help you . victor : i bent over backwards to get you to take her case ... and you could n't be bothered . hochman : let 's just say that your brother made me see the light . victor : i bet he did . what 's the catch ? deimos : there 's no catch , brother . i owe you for what i did to your life , and this is my way of making it up to you . victor : oh , come on . you 're the master of quid pro quo . what do you want ? maggie : do i get a vote ? victor : you do n't know what these two have in mind for you , maggie . maggie : dr. hochman has an international reputation . you said so yourself . i mean , do you really think he 's gon na get me on the table and make me worse ? victor : no . he would n't risk that . but ... maggie : but ... what ? what is the downside ? if this is real and if it can get me to walk again ... how can we say no ? in private . i 'll walk you out . victor : can we have a minute ? justin : of course . maggie : i know what you 're thinking ... that deimos is using me to back you into a corner . you do n't want to be beholden to him , and i can understand that . victor : it is n't ego , maggie . it 's survival instinct . maggie : who cares ? victor : maggie ... maggie : i mean it , victor . deimos did n't walk in here with a ... with a strange doctor . you vetted dr. hochman yourself . you would have moved mountains to get him to operate on me , 'cause you believed he was my best chance . you said he had it all over all the other surgeons that you had considered . and he could virtually guarantee that i would walk again . those were your words . and they 're still true . justin : uncle victor ... i really do n't think you can turn this down just because deimos got the doctor to do the operation . victor : no , you 're right . i ca n't . [ tense music ] victor : i do n't know how you got hochman to do this , and i do n't wan na know . i just want maggie to be maggie again . i want everything that was stolen from her to be restored . deimos : well , then , you wo n't regret this . sonny : you know , we 're all grateful for what you 've done , but if you 're serious about making it up to my uncle vic and maggie , there 's a lot more you can do . you know that , right ? like give my uncle his company back . how about returning the money you extorted from him ? you fixed it so you 'd control everything that was his . you have the power to give it back to him . sounds like everything i heard about you is true . and i 'll try not to ... be upset with you for stealing my thunder . victor : what thunder ? deimos : what sonny just said is the other reason why i came here today . you want maggie to be maggie again . so why do n't we talk about how to make you whole again ? [ suspenseful music ] paul : i was just thinking about something . brady : what ? paul : jacoby ellsbury . brady : ah ... jacoby ellsbury . who 's that ? paul : he 's a leadoff hitter . he almost always gets on base , and when he does , he starts to dance on and off the base , trying to steal second . he got in my head when i was pitching -- drove me crazy . brady : okay ... paul : now , see , i would be so intent on keeping him on first or trying to pick him off , i would lose my focus on the batter . brady : paul , what does this have to do with my son ? i 'm not following -- paul : the kidnapper . he 's like ellsbury . he 's dancing off the base saying , `` look at this , `` and `` look at that , `` trying to keep you from focusing on what 's right in front of you . what if the kidnapper ... purposely made this look like your grandfather set it up ? brady : then that would keep me focused on him and nothing else . maybe . maybe , paul . paul : okay , what if -- what if the kidnapper ... made victor look guilty ... to keep you from seeing that your grandfather is his real target -- not you and theresa . brady : someone 's getting back at my grandfather ? paul : well , i hear he 's got a lotta enemies . brady : oh , you could rent a stadium to hold them all , paul , but i do n't know . it 's a far - out theory to me . john : maybe not . brady : what do you got , dad ? john : you know what ? i 've been trying to figure out why this guy who 's trying to blackmail summer would just give her the number of a company -- chopin group -- as a contact . so i tried checking out all the corporate charters here in the states -- nothing . i went overseas . brady : what 'd you get ? john : i kept thinking it was a dummy corporation , but ... chopin group , it 's for real , all right . it 's chartered in greece , got offices in athens . supposedly import / export business , and on the surface it looks totally legit . brady : yeah , on the surface . what 's -- what 's beneath the surface ? john : one of the backers has got major ties to the greek mob . brady : greek mob ? dad , that connects them to victor ! john : no , no , no , not the way you think . this guy 's connection to the mob -- it goes back a long way . i found a picture of him with a business associate . now , this picture was taken ... when they were probably in their 20s , but you can see . brady : see what ? what am i looking at here ? john : this guy over here is your neighborhood leg breaker . and this guy over here ... brady : that 's deimos , is n't it ? john : that 's a fact . maybe you 're right -- maybe he 's still trying to get back at vic . brady : and he 's using my son to do it ! [ door opens ] theresa : i know who took tate -- i know who did it . brady : what are you talking about -- what do you know ? theresa : i do n't care what summer said to us -- it 's her . all right ? she 's been lying to us from the very beginning , and i have proof . deimos : within reason . victor : aw ... there he goes . hedging already . deimos : i 'm offering to give you back half your holdings . you can keep titan enterprises as well . my only real interest is basic black . i 'll hold on to that . i 'll keep that , half the money and the house ... and we 'll call it square . victor : and i 'm supposed to be overwhelmed by your generosity ? deimos : i do n't expect you to give me an answer today . i just hope that you wo n't reject my offer out of hand . it 's a way for both of us to move forward with our lives , brother . it makes me very happy to undo what was done to you . you did n't deserve it . maggie : you would know .
