[ scene_break ] taylor : why do you need me anyway ? quinn : i have my reasons . and since i know things that an upstanding , reputable young lady , such as yourself would n't want it broadcast all over town , i 'd say you need me too . taylor : wow . so this is how you 're going to be , huh ? you 're gon na continue to blackmail me ? quinn : you persevere in it , this situation , taylor , refusing to work as an informant . all i 'm asking is that you honor your commitments .

'cause if anything ever happened to you ... [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] abe : so , bo , i read everything you sent me . crime solving , making those clearances , hell , i 'm all for , it . why would n't i be ? but , hey , you have to look at the bigger picture . bo : you mean the political picture . abe : no , that 's not what this is about . bo : i wish i understood what it really was about . abe : oh , come on , bo . you know damn well if you and hope start tossing a ton of resources at this thing -- resources which , by the way , the city can ill afford -- headlines 'll start flashing that there 's a serial attacker on the loose . bo : why does there have to be headlines ? we can work this under the radar . taylor : hope , the files you asked for . hope : oh , thank you so much . taylor : sure . hope : so , abe , uh , what 's more important -- saving the city 's image or saving a life ? abe : oh , come on , hope . you know it 's not that cut and dry . hope : abe ... i 'm really starting to wonder ... would you really be this cautious , would you be so worried about tossing resources at this thing , as you put it , if the women were n't working the street ? [ scene_break ] chloe : [ sighs ] wow . this has gotten way too scary and horrible for words . kinsey : so what are you gon na do ? chloe : what do you mean ? kinsey : well , you told me you could n't quit , that your pimp would go to child services if you did n't do what he asked , and well , you 'd never get to see your baby again . chloe : ah , trust me , never again . i 'd quit in a heartbeat if i could . but you 're right . there 's just way too much at stake . i 'm so close to getting parker back . i ca n't lose him now . [ scene_break ] nicole : so am i right ? are you wishing last night had n't happened ? brady : you know , nicole , i 've been doing a lot of thinking since maggie got shot . and you know , i mean , introspection is not one of my strong suits . you know , i 'm pretty much an action - reaction type of guy . you know that . nicole : how fascinating , but what does that have to do with us ? brady : because i act before i think , that 's the reason why all this insanity has happened the last few months . i mean , last week it got out of control . it got dangerous . innocent people could 've been -- could 've been killed . nicole : yeah , right . and that all happened about the time i moved in here . brady : no , no , no , no . i 'm not -- i 'm -- i 'm not putting this on you . i 'm responsible for my own actions . nicole : okay . all right . enough with the 12-step program stuff . can you just tell me what you really mean ? brady : did you ever stop to think that maybe the two of us are just bad for each other ? nicole : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] rafe : so how are ya feeling this morning ? sami : better . rafe : 'cause you look a little -- little pale . sami : [ laughs ] thanks . rafe : no , i mean , are you nauseous , are you -- sami : yeah . well , i was a little bit . rafe : you were ? do you -- do you want tea then , or some toast ? or what do you need ? sami : you . rafe : well , okay . well , i 'm happy to oblige . what ? what ? sami : nothing . nothing . rafe : no , hold on . it is not nothing . what going on ? sami : okay , it 's not nothing . rafe : you all right ? sami : yeah , yeah . it 's -- it 's fine . it 's just -- i do n't understand . you know , i 'm the one who never gets sick . everyone around me gets the cold or gets something , and i never get it . and i do n't understand what 's wrong with me . rafe : nothing 's -- no , no . whatever it is , we 're gon na find out today , and we 'll deal with it , okay ? it 's no problem . sami : it 's not that simple . it 's just not . you know , you always have this way of fixing everything for me , everything in my life . and believe me , i appreciate that . i but i do n't think this is gon na be that easy . i mean , when grace was sick , you know , and she had a fever , and the doctors were saying it might be okay , that she might be okay , i knew -- i knew there was something wrong . and that 's how i feel right now . i feel like there 's something wrong . rafe : well , did n't lexie say that it might be nothing ? sami : of course , she said that . she 's a doctor . they all say stuff like that . she did n't stalk me here because it 's nothing . mean , she obviously thinks it 's more than a hangnail . rafe : well , i 'll tell you one thing i know , and that is , sami brady hernandez has never been in a fight that she ca n't win , okay ? you 're right . i do n't have a crystal ball . i do n't know what the doctor 's gon na say . but there is one thing i know -- we 'll get through this , whatever it is , together . like we always do . okay ? [ scene_break ] kinsey : so even after this other poor woman was attacked , you 're not gon na change your mind ? and then -- and then i 'm supposed to do as you say , not as you do . chloe : do n't even think about it . kinsey : i 'm not , i 'm not . i just -- i ca n't believe you 're gon na go back out there . chloe : look , i know it 's dangerous , and i hate it , but i need to make some money so that i can prove that i can support parker . kinsey : but there are other ways to get cash . maybe not quite as much -- chloe : well , you know that that 's not the only reason . like you said , if i try to quit , then quinn is gon na go to child protective services and tell them what i 've done , and then i will never see parker again . kinsey : you 'll never see him again if you 're dead either . take a good look , chloe . i listened to you last night . now you listen to me . if this happens to you , where is that gon na leave parker ? do you want him to lose his mom forever ? [ phone chiming ] taylor : `` you know i never bluff . `` [ scene_break ] abe : everyone in this city is entitled to equal protection , and you know i 'm committed to that , hope . hope : yes , i do , and i apologize , abe , but we 've got ta do somethi -- abe : look , i get that the two of you are passionate about this and frustrated . i am too . but until we can prove there 's a pattern , i can not go public . i can not say there is one . bo : okay , okay . then it 's settled . thanks for your time , abe . abe : yeah , well got ta get to the hospital . i got a message from rafe to meet him there . bo : about ? abe : i do n't know . but if it 's about this case , he 'd better have a lead . i 'm not gon na send this town into a panic for no reason with nothing to give the public except `` be careful out there . `` hope : abe , please , there is a pattern . abe : look .. , that 's my answer . and hernandez better not give me any argument either .

[ scene_break ] nicole : bad for each other ? you and me ? is that what you really think ? brady : look , come on , you know -- you know as well as i do it takes more than just great chemistry between two people , and do n't -- listen , you ca n't deny that something happens when our personalities get together . nicole : something catastrophic , disastrous , cataclysmic ? brady : yeah , yeah , nicole . it 's like -- it 's like we enable one another . nicole : [ laughs ] okay , so you 're saying that when we 're in each other 's presence , we are not in control , that all our worst instincts come to the forefront , and we encourage each other to sink to the mire of rotten . brady : right . nicole : is that what you 're saying ? really ? oh , come on . brady , we are n't all perfect people , okay ? we 're damaged goods . who cares ? you treat me like no other man has . and even when you 're upset with me or disappointed in me , there is an understanding . and i know that you get me and you love me . am i wrong ? brady : no , you 're not . nicole : so then i guess i feel the opposite of you . i feel without each other we 're doomed . [ scene_break ] chloe : was she one of yours ? quinn : sorry ? chloe : the woman who was attacked . quinn : look , i really do n't have time to -- chloe : you said that you could protect me , but you ca n't . you know you ca n't . quinn : you 're making a scene , chloe . chloe : quinn , just let me go . please . let me go . [ scene_break ] hope : well , i 'd say we ha a pretty good handle on who the major players are . except for this -- this new guy in town . i ca n't seem to collect any information on him . bo : yeah , that 's why we should be out on the street , asking questions . hope : you mean doing police work ? bo : yeah , something like that . hope : you know , i get the feeling that this pimp with no name is gon na be very helpful in our investigation . taylor : is there anything else you guys need ? bo : yeah . um , the woman who was attacked and ended up in the hospital , we 're having trouble finding her family , and they should be notified . taylor : okay , i 'm on it . bo : thanks . hope : miss mandy wo n't tell us who her pimp is . bo : do you think they connected , this mystery man and our victim ? hope : well , she 's not in any of our files . look , the important thing right now is we 've got to find out who this guy is and who he 's connected to . that 's got ta be our top priority . bo : yeah . [ scene_break ] lexie : sami , rafe ... the truth is , right now i do n't have answers for you . but i will have answers after your tests . sami : tests . tests take time . last time i came in for simple blood work . i waited a week before the doctor called me back . rafe : the waiting 's killing her . sami : i woke up every ten minutes last night . rafe : she 's still feeling queasy . lexie : well , that could be from the stress . listen , i know the unknown can be scary , but let 's not make this worse by driving yourself crazy , okay ? i mean , it could be absolutely nothing . sami , hey , i mean that . okay ? sami : but do you really think it 's nothing ? i mean , how many times have you seen cases like mine where it actually turned out to be nothing ? [ approaching footsteps ] abe : oh , sweetheart . hey , sami . uh , rafe , i got your message . is everything okay ? rafe : uh , well , we hope so . abe : well , if , uh -- if this is a bad time- sami : no , it 's not . it 's fine . you know what ? um , why do n't you go and talk to abe , and i 'll text you as soon as i know anything . you know what ? i think it 's a good idea . rafe : uh -- sami : i love you . rafe : i love you . okay . i 'll just be gone a couple of minutes , all right ? sami : yes ! rafe : okay . sami : go . lexie : i 'm glad you told rafe what 's going on . sami : are you kidding ? i do n't know what i was thinking yesterday . i could n't get through this without him . [ scene_break ] abe : so what is it ? what can i do for you ? rafe : oh , i just think there 's someone you need to see . i just thought you should see what we 're up against . [ scene_break ] quinn : let you go ? sweetheart , i thought we already had this discussion . several times , in fact . you are an integral part of my stable . in my line of work , you do n't let an asset of such value just get away . chloe : look , if you ca n't do something as basic as protecting innocent women from being beaten up and left for dead , then you do n't belong in this business . quinn : what you need to do , chloe , is keep a low profile . and when you speak of protection , well , i ca n't take care of you every second of the day , now , can i ? besides which , the girl from last night was attacked by a stranger . it had nothing to do with me . chloe : she worked for you . quinn : and she wandered around in a very dangerous neighborhood by herself . not a smart idea . chloe : smart idea ? what , and is it a smart idea to force women into selling their bodies , to debase themselves just to make you rich ? quinn : you need to calm down , chloe . chloe : i just do n't understand why you wo n't budge on this , why you even recruited me for this disgusting job in the first place . quinn : [ chuckles ] i think that would be obvious . chloe : oh , no . no , no , no . do n't you make this about my looks or anything else . or even the fact that i made an idiotic , drunken mistake by sleeping with you the first night i met you . this was personal , was n't it ? you know , ever since the beginning , it 's been your mission to get me -- quinn : look , it was n't personal ... for me . chloe : what ? quinn : look , do n't get it twisted , love , okay ? you needed this . now , either way , you 're in it , so stop complaining . chloe : you said it was n't personal for you , meaning it was personal for someone else . quinn : pardon ? chloe : quinn , you know what you said . do n't deny it . there 's someone that wanted me to do this , is n't there ? quinn : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] rafe : i questioned her earlier . i was n't able to get much out of her . abe : so i heard . rafe : she 's afraid . and who can blame her . claims she did n't get a good look at her assailant , just like the other two girls . compared to mandy , looks like they got off easy . abe : have you checked with her doctors ? rafe : oh , yeah . she has internal injuries , worse than i originally thought . she just got out of surgery , and there may be complications . abe , this was n't her fault . and if there are other victims , chances are it 's not gon na be their fault either . abe : aye . all right , you made your point . rafe : did i ? abe : you 'll have all the resources you need . access to the press as well . and my office will back you all the way . just find the sick bastard that did this . [ door clicks open ] [ door clicks shut ] [ scene_break ] [ phone ringing ] bo : brady . hey , man . oh , that 's good news . yeah , thanks . i will . hope : what 's going on ? bo : that was rafe . abe just gave us carte blanche . hope : are you kidding me ? bo : no . hope : what turned him around ? bo : came to his senses , i guess . hope : well , we 'd better get to work then . bo : yeah . hope : i say we hit the hospital first , be there when mandy wakes up . and , uh , you know what ? if she realizes how committed we are to solving this case , hopefully she 'll tell us more than she did last night . bo : yeah . hey , taylor , when you find that family , let us know . taylor : yeah , sure . no problem . [ scene_break ] [ phone chiming ] rafe : oh , no . sami : [ sighs ] rafe : dr. abbott wants to know if the baby 's still moving . sami : um , yeah . [ chuckles ] actually right now . here . rafe : what ? whoa ! what , did he just kick ? sami : yeah . that was a strong one . rafe : yeah , it was ! like doing karate in there or something . never felt anything like that before . um , yeah , the baby is definitely still moving . he just kicked . [ knock at door ] sami : come in . both : hey . rafe : i just got your text . you did n't get the test done , did you ? sami : yeah , yeah . they said they could see me early , and when does that ever happen , right ? i guess it 's just 'cause i 'm the patient of the chief of staff . rafe : why did n't you page me ? i wanted to be here . sami : it was quick . i mean , it just all happened so fast , and it was pretty painless . this is the hard part -- waiting . rafe : okay . so did dr. tannenbaum say anything ? sami : exact same as lexie -- that she wants to wait until they get the test results . and then she said she was gon na consult with lexie , he definitely did n't make me nervous . rafe : well , uh , just -- that means you 're in good hands . sami : i know i am . rafe : okay . so when do we find out ? sami : i do n't know . i mean , i guess they said it would n't take long . rafe : hey . lexie : hi . [ scene_break ] quinn : no need to let your imagination run wild . all i meant was that it 's always personal when i go after a girl i think is right for my operation . i learned a long time ago to keep personalities out of the equation . chloe : you expect me to believe that ? quinn : why would n't you ? chloe : you know , it always bothered me how you pursued me . from the start , it 's like you always had some sort of an agenda , like someone put you up to it . i 'm right . who was it ? quinn : we 're done talking about this . chloe : no , we are not done talking about this . that look on your face . somebody did put you up to this . it 's the only explanation . i ca n't believe i did n't think of it before . who was it , quinn ? quinn : you 're crazy . you work for me , and that is all you need to know . good- bye , chloe . chloe : no , we are not done yet . [ scene_break ] hope : no change ? nurse : not so far . miss pierce is still under sedation . hope : taylor . taylor : oh , hey . bo : hey . taylor : hi . um , i got in touch with the victim 's sister , and , uh , she lives a few miles out of town , but she 's on her way . bo : that 's great , but you did n't have to come all the way down here to tell us that . you could 've called . taylor : i know , but , um -- well , i kind of ended up bonding with , um , mandy 's sister on the phone , so i told her i would come down here to the hospital and check on mandy personally to see how she was doing . hope : and report back to whom ? taylor : gina . um , her sister 's name is gina , and , um , after i see mandy , i 'm supposed to give her a call . hope : that 's very sweet of you , taylor . taylor : she asked if i could sit with her for a few minutes . i was hoping that i could honor the request , if it 's possible . hope : she 's still unconscious . but i ca n't see why it would n't be okay to sit with her for a little while . taylor : thanks . hope : all right . be right back . come this way . bo : see ya . hope : pretty bad , is n't it ? taylor : oh , my god . the poor girl . hope : i 'm determined to nail this bastard . [ sighs ] hey . bo : hey . hope : uh , you know , i 've been thinking about our next plan of attack . bo : okay , and ? hope : i think we should go undercover . bo : we ? hope : me , actually . bo : that 's a great idea . you know , you being a call girl , walking the streets late at night . why did n't i think of that ? hope : this may be our only shot of learning this guy out . bo : yeah , you 're right . it -- it could be . i mean , it 's insane , and dangerous , and you 'll give your husband an ulcer , but ... hope : okay . bo : heck , let 's do it . hope : fine . you know what ? if you want , you can give me all the arguments , okay ? that it 's dangerous , that it 's insane , that you 're never gon na go for it . but you and i both know i am gon na do it anyway . bo : hope . hope . hope : so why do n't we just cut the part where we fight and figure out how to make this work ? what do you say ? [ scene_break ] nicole : [ sighs ] you know what ? you can make a case all day long that we are bad for each other , that we 're codependent , whatever the hell that means , and that we enable each other , and that we bring out each other 's weaknesses -- brady : i do n't have any weaknesses . nicole : oh , stop , brady . you know what ? i can make an equally strong case that says we are what makes each other whole . brady : come on . nicole : no , come on nothing . brady : oh , come on , nicole -- nicole : that is what i believe . i know i can give you what you need . i know i can . just like you give me what i need , and you always have , brady .

[ doorbell rings ] anne : here you go , proud mama . jennifer : oh , shoot me now . anne : i cleaned out abigail 's office . and now , since i 'm sure you have an almost legitimate excuse to skip work , you will -- jennifer : i will be at work first thing tomorrow morning . be ready , anne . anne : oh , so brave , honey . so you 're ready to hear what everybody has to say about your little principessa ? jennifer : i am very proud of my daughter ... anne : aw . jennifer : yesterday , today , tomorrow . anne : [ imitates violin playing ] jennifer : she made a mistake , and she took responsibility for that mistake ... anne : oh . jennifer : because she 's a decent young woman ... anne : mm - hmm . jennifer : and she has nothing to be ashamed of . anne : [ laughs ] of course . what was i thinking ? it 's so very admirable to sleep with someone else 's fiancé . you know , maybe your daughter should get a medal . jennifer : you , on the other hand , anne , you just feed off of people 's misery , and you stir up trouble without an iota of compassion or generosity in your heart . anne : mm - hmm . jennifer : and for that , you should be ashamed , very ashamed , because you deliberately hurt people . and with you ... anne : [ sighs ] jennifer : it 's never a mistake . will : i just got off the phone with the editor . the response has been growing all day . the website even crashed once from all the traffic . sonny : wow . will : yeah , zoë says we even got some -- some calls from two local news stations . sonny : you 're going on tv ? will : well , not yet . zoe said that we should wait for the story to go national first . we 're meeting first thing tomorrow morning to -- to talk about some -- some of my new story ideas . sonny : that 's great . will : yeah , i 'll be able to pitch in a little bit more . sonny : what ? will : i 'll be able to help out with rent and -- and -- and bills . sonny : i do n't care about -- will : oh , there 's someone at the door . i should probably get this . i 'll -- i 'll talk to you later . sami : my son was duped . that editor took what he wrote and blew it completely out of proportion . yes , ej is planning to speak to you . he will call you as soon as he can . today ... you bet . you just hang in there , gerald . this is gon na blow over . [ sighs ] i thought i had it handled . i had warned them , but the entire board is freaking out . everybody wants to talk to you , and everything 's falling apart . you have to help me . roman : okay , talk to you later . hey . i 'm glad you came down . i wanted to tell you this in person . marlena : is it about sami ? roman : no , it 's about kristen . | brady tried to no avail to get a specialist to help john . anne was ecstatic when she found out that abby was ej 's mistress . jennifer and abby worked on a strategy to make abby look better in the press . daniel went to jennifer 's house once he found out about abby 's affair . sonny and sami argued over abby . ej and will argued about his article . ej reminded will that lucas went to jail for a crime he committed . ej let will know that he could still go to jail for shooting him . sonny tried to convince sami that ej seduced abby . sami did n't want to hear what sonny had to say in abby 's defense . marlena arrived at the dimera mansion as sami told sonny that will was the only one who could have written the article because he 's the only one who they would have talked to about everything . will wanted ej to get out of his apartment . the prosecutor tried to convince the judge to deny kristen bail . kristen wanted to speak in her defense . will continued to believe that sami was the one that revealed abby 's name to zoe . ej reminded will about everything sami did for him . will said that ej and sami were the ones to blame for the article coming out . if they had n't told anyone , will would n't have written it . kristen assured the judge that she was n't a flight risk . |
victor : [ clears throat ] maggie : seems like so long ago . victor : time flies when you 're having fun . maggie : [ laughs ] yes , it does . i did n't even know we had any wedding photos . we did n't have any flowers or music or a caterer . but it was a perfect day . when you get married at our ... less - than - tender age -- [ chuckles ] you 're not looking forward to having babies or the promise of a long life built together . victor : quality over quantity , my dear . maggie : this past year , losing bo ... and daniel and our home ... finding summer and then -- oh , we survived the very worst , victor . so whether or not i can walk after this surgery today , i 'm gon na be okay . i did n't even think we 'd have our first dance as husband and wife with no music . victor : insane to think of a groom with two left feet . maggie : but we found a way . victor : we will dance , maggie . always . maggie : [ chuckles ] yes . shawn : i spoke to an admissions counselor at salem u today , and he said that if claire defers for a year , that she wo n't need to reapply . belle : but we do n't want her to defer for a year . it 's not like she 's gon na learn anything from this job with chloe . shawn : probably not , but you never know . belle : in five years she could be standing on a street corner with a guitar case , collecting nickels and dimes . shawn : belle , she 's talented . belle : yes , she is . she still needs a plan b. i sat down with her , i tried to show her what the difference a degree would make in lifetime earnings . she seems to think she 's gon na be the next katy perry . shawn : look , after she spends enough time fetching coffee and being yelled at by chloe because her latte is n't hot enough , i 'm pretty sure she 's gon na rethink it . i 'm just afraid that if -- that if we push her too hard that it 's gon na -- belle : i know , i know . this is all my fault . shawn : what do you mean ? belle : i never should have bought her that damn nightclub . it 's like i set her up to fail . chloe : [ moans ] [ dramatic music ] deimos : what is this ? you are not terminating my baby . you understand that . chloe : it 's not your baby . deimos : no ? then whose is it ? do you even know , you shameless slut ?

[ door closes ] claire : uh , chloe , are you okay ? chloe : [ sobbing ] [ dramatic music ] maggie : victor , we 'll dance regardless of whether i 'm in this chair or not . we 'll find a way . victor : well , it 's important that when you go into a surgery that you go in with an attitude that it 's going to be successful . maggie : i am hopeful that dr. hochman will be my miracle worker . i just wish it all was n't happening today , when we 're all so preoccupied about tate . victor : maggie , we 've done as much as we can do . brady 's in indianapolis . i 'm sure he 'll contact us as soon as he gets a lead . meantime , i 'd like to be able to give him some good news about you . it 'll raise his spirits . maggie : but you ca n't call him , victor . he blames you and he blames me . victor : maggie , listen , whatever involvement summer had in this whole thing has nothing to do with you . maggie : but i ca n't stop feeling guilty . victor : ca n't you just think about yourself for once ? i do n't want you worrying about anything else . [ knock at door ] victor : nicole ? nicole : hi . maggie : hi . nicole : uh , i hope this is n't a bad time . i heard maggie 's having surgery today . victor : who told you that ? nicole : brady . uh , i 'm so happy for you . maggie : oh , hi . nicole : um , i , uh , brought you something . [ somber music ] maggie : [ chuckles ] thank you . nicole : i , uh , thought the doctors said they could n't operate . maggie : that 's right , um , until deimos convinced a surgeon to help me . shawn : you did n't set claire up to fail . you thought edge would be a great place for her to learn how to sing in front of a live crowd . belle : yeah , and it backfired , just like you said it would . instead of gaining confidence , she decided that i did n't have faith in her to make it on her own . shawn : belle , she knows that 's not true . belle : maybe i should ask her if she wants to sing at the -- [ chuckles ] doing it again . shawn : mm - hmm . look , if claire 's gon na make it in the business , or she 's not , then she 's gon na have to be the one to feel her way through it . and we ca n't be the ones to just make her dream come true or to just , you know , take it away from her . belle : you sound so much like -- shawn : like dr. marlena evans ? belle : no , actually , more like philip . [ somber music ] chloe : if i ca n't record this album because i 'm pregnant -- philip : hey , kelly clarkson did it . chloe : she also cut her tour short because she was sick as a dog , and i 'm not kelly clarkson . philip : chloe , you 're a great mom . this kid is very lucky . chloe : lucky ? to have a father like deimos ? philip : are you gon na tell him ? chloe : i do n't know . i have to think about it . philip : sure , well , just uh , whatever you need . like i said , let me know . chloe : thanks . claire : sorry , i did n't realize you still were n't feeling well . chloe : no , it 's probably just a bug or -- you know . claire : you 're pregnant . look -- chloe : and just to be clear , i am not having an abortion . claire : oh , oh , okay . chloe : and this has to stay between us . claire : sure , yeah . uh , does philip know ? chloe : yeah . claire : and the father , right ? chloe : claire , i just asked you to not say anything to anyone . am i not being clear ? claire : very clear . i had that dream again -- claire : sorry , i was n't trying to upset you , i was just trying to -- chloe : claire , i appreciate your concern , but you have to understand that you 're my assistant and not my bff , so please do n't be offended if i 'm not wanting to share any more with you . claire : right , right , of course , i 'm sorry . chloe : no worries , it 's fine . claire : well , i got rid of the food , if that 's -- sorry , sorry , i probably should n't have even , like , brought up the word . chloe : just so you know , i 'm gon na be meeting philip later to discuss our plan going forward , and it might affect your employment . claire : oh , wait , you 're not thinking of not recording the album because you 're pregnant , are you ? chloe : [ sighs ] well , we 'll see . claire : why ? i mean , look at beyoncé and carrie underwood , and -- chloe : do you think i 'm in their league ? claire : well , um ... yes . chloe : [ laughs ] good answer . you know what ? could you run some errands for me when i 'm out ? there 's a list right there . claire : sure , sure . chloe : thank you .

[ sighs ] you know , ca n't we just be grateful that maggie 's having this surgery , and that you and deimos are n't trying to destroy each other , and nobody died ? and you can go back to being your newly domesticated self ... changed by the love of a good woman . victor : yes , maggie 's love did change me . i suppose i should be thankful that someone or something caused deimos to do the same . the roses are blooming in herbal essences [ dramatic music ] [ cell phone rings ] philip : hey . feeling any better ? chloe : mm . not much . philip : sorry . chloe : but on a bright note , i have decided what i want to do . philip : yeah ? chloe : yeah .

[ dramatic music ] nicole : [ sighs ] my fiancé died earlier this year and you just got out of prison after 30 years , and you were engaged to kate a few months ago . you hated me . deimos : i never hated you . what are you trying to say ? i 'm unsuitable ? nicole : no , i 'm just saying you need to slow down . deimos : [ sighs ] you lost your fiancé a month before your wedding . that was tragic , but did n't it teach you that waiting is pointless ? i mean , personally , i would love to start a family . nicole : okay , deimos . before you start registering us for china and layettes , there 's something that you need to know about me . i mean , there 's a lot you need to know about me , but this one particular thing might affect the way you feel about having a future with me . deimos : i ca n't imagine anything having that kind of effect on me . nicole : well , uh , you keep talking about wanting children . you need to know i -- i ca n't have any . deimos : uh , wait -- what , um -- did you mean that -- nicole : i was shot several years ago . deimos : my god . nicole : i mean , i recovered . obviously . but , uh -- you know , the doctor said that i -- i could n't get pregnant . then i did . twice . [ dramatic music ] nicole : i almost carried to term , both of them . my little miracle babies . but the doctors warned me that , uh -- you know , my body could n't take the -- deimos : nicole , i 'm so sorry . i had no idea , i would n't -- nicole : i know . i -- deimos : it 's all right . you do n't have to say another word . nicole : yes , i do . i was out of my mind , and i ca n't even begin to tell you all the crazy things that i did . and then i finally had to accept that i just , i -- i could n't have any kids of my own . and daniel knew , but he had parker and his daughter melanie . deimos : so he did n't want any other children . nicole : no , it 's not that . he was just okay with me . but it 's different for you , you know , you have so many years to make up for . and the first thing you said is that you want children , and it 's not possible for me , so if it changes the way that you feel , i understand . deimos : no . no , of course not . nicole : deimos -- deimos : okay , nicole . we do have options , right ? we can adopt . we can always hire a surrogate . if we really want children , we can have them . okay . i get it . you 're the one who said it , that we should take one step at a time , right ? so for now , i 'm just grateful that you decided to come back to basic black . i ca n't imagine there could be anyone who could be so simultaneously cut throat and charming . nicole : [ chuckles ] you could . [ both laugh ] deimos : so if you do n't mind my asking , what changed your mind ? nicole : what you did for maggie . i had time to think about it . that 's what changed my mind . hochman : mrs. kiriakis . are we all ready to go ? maggie : we sure are . hochman : well , then , you have a date with the anesthesiologist . maggie : mm , jealous ? victor : you bet . maggie : [ laughs ] hochman : i 'll see you in recovery . maggie : okay . thank you . victor : dr. hochman , i , uh , i just wanted to say how i 'm grateful that you came out of retirement to do this surgery . hochman : i had planned to be in tahiti today . victor : well , i hope mind is gon na be 100 % here . the other doctors in the hospital said this could n't be done . if you have the slightest doubt as to your abilities -- hochman : the -- [ sighs ] mr. kiriakis , i am confident in my abilities . but you understand that there are certainly risks and no guarantees . victor : i do . listen , my wife is my whole world . hochman : i understand . victor : i know you probably hear that a lot , but it 's true . really true with me . my wife changed my life for the better and if it were n't -- well , i just need for this surgery to change her life , too . shawn : , uh , hey , listen . i got ta get back to the station . a lab report just came in that your dad really , really needs , okay ? belle : okay . see you when you get home . shawn : okay . [ smooches ] both : bye . philip : [ clears throat ] belle : philip , i , uh , i did n't see you come in . philip : i just got here a few minutes ago . [ sharp inhale ] things are going well for you and shawn . belle : uh , yeah . great . philip : i 'm glad . listen , there 's something i need to talk to you about . belle : okay . philip : after our last conversation , uh -- i 'm starting to think -- belle : just spit it out , philip . philip : i appreciate your help in trying to get my record label off the ground . belle : but ... philip : i 'm starting to think your being a silent partner is a mistake . to be silent ? philip : god help me , i do , but it seems you do n't . belle : i 've said since day one i do n't know the first thing about the music business , so -- philip : that 's right . you do n't . you also said on day one that i needed to give claire a record deal , even though she was n't ready . and now you 're hassling me about her being chloe 's assistant . belle : i 'm not hassling you . philip : either you 're involved or you 're not . i know you 're still trying to work out if you want to be a controlling mom or a totally hands - off one . belle : [ scoffs ] excuse me , i know exactly what kind of mother i am . philip : look , i 'm not saying you 're not a good one . belle : right , the double negative there was really convincing . philip : i know how much you love claire . but she 's feeling smothered -- belle : you spend an hour a week with her , so do n't pretend that you know how she feels more than i do . philip : you 're right . and to be honest , i do n't care . i just do n't want to punish claire because you 're driving me nuts . sorry if that sounds harsh . [ jazzy music ] belle : i will bite my tongue and be the good silent partner you want me to be . philip : [ sighs ] we both should have known that working together would end badly . belle : wait , end ? philip : i 'm gon na try to find somebody to buy you out of the label . deimos : you know there 's still no guarantee that maggie will ever walk again . but dr. hochman is the best surgeon -- really the only surgeon who could do this procedure . [ dramatic music ] nicole : well , regardless , if it works , i 'm sure maggie and victor are just happy that you tried . deimos : victor did n't even want to take me up on my offer . i think he finally realized that it was maggie 's only chance . i wonder how it 's going . we should probably call dr. hochman 's office soon to get an update . nicole : well , i was planning on going to the hospital to be there for maggie when she wakes up . why do n't you come with me ? sonny : uncle vic . victor : oh , sonny , thank you for coming . sonny : how 's maggie ? victor : she 's still in the or , i have n't heard a thing . hochman : mr. kiriakis , we just wheeled your wife into recovery . victor : how is she ? hochman : oh , she did very well . i was able to relieve the impingement on the cervical nerves , and restabilized the vertebrate . victor : was the surgery a success , yes or no ? hochman : from my perspective , it went as well as possible . but we 'll have to wait and see how much function she regains as the swelling subsides . victor : that 's not an answer . hochman : mr. kiriakis , we 've discussed this before . i 'm optimistic , but only time will tell . victor : when can i see her ? hochman : very soon . sonny : keep faith , uncle vic . [ jazzy music ] belle : what is wrong with you ? first you question my parenting , and then after you begged me to help you -- philip : i did n't beg . belle : you throw my investment in my face . philip : that 's not what i 'm doing . belle : of course it is . this is payback , right ? because i picked shawn and not you . you never got over it last time , and you 're still -- philip : why do you think everything 's about you ? this is n't personal . belle : you made it personal . philip : i just want to keep business separate from our old baggage . belle : then why sign chloe lane ? how 's that for baggage ? philip : why are you so upset that i want to buy you out ? belle : 'cause it 's not gon na be easy , and i do n't wan na be stuck in an investment with someone who does n't appreciate what i 'm doing . philip : what do you mean , it 's not going to be easy ? belle : investors tend to shy away from guys who do n't know what they want or how to get it . good luck . deimos : you know what we were just talking about , taking things one step at a time ? i definitely do n't think that victor would welcome me -- my presence at the hospital . nicole : oh , please . victor does n't welcome anyone 's presence . but you 're the one that made this surgery happen . and being there to check in with dr. hochman ... will just show that you care . deimos : why do you want me to go ?

[ light music ] susan : well , maybe you 're right . i mean , those meds did do a number on me . [ laughs ] one time , i dreamt that ... the king took me for a ride in his pink caddy . [ giggling ] kayla : you know what ? this is marlena 's wedding day . so maybe we could all agree to not talk about kristen . belle : yeah . susan : oh , yes , yes , yes . i cross my heart . yeah . you know what ? i just wan na thank you for inviting me to your little hen party last night . i know everybody loved my tarot card readings . belle : i could have done without you dealing my kid the death card . susan : well , like i said , you can interpret that in many different ways . oh , which reminds me . about the lovers card -- kayla : you know , susan , i wonder if you could do me a huge favor . you know , valerie had a very important job for the wedding -- she was going to take care of the centerpieces , but she had to go because she has to take care of a patient . so i 'm wondering if you could go to doug 's place and you could make sure that those centerpieces are -- are centered . can you do that ? i mean , i really need someone i can trust . susan : oh , i 'm on the job ! kayla : okay , perfect . susan : i just love those little hourglass centerpieces . kayla : yeah , they 're great , are n't they ? susan : yeah . sands through the hourglass , right ? kayla : mm - hmm . susan : um ... that does n't mean that , um , john and marlena 's ... you know , days together are numbered ? kayla : no . of course not . their love is timeless and eternal . that 's what the hourglass symbolizes . susan : oh ! kayla : yeah . susan : that -- that -- that -- yeah . that 's good . that 's much better . kayla : okay , good . well , let 's get going , huh ? it 's an important job . i 'm really counting on you . here 's your bag . susan : thank you . oh ! see you later ! belle : bye . kayla : thank you . susan : i 'm gon na do a good job -- i - i am . kayla : i know you are . belle : god . thank god [ laughs ] you got rid of that weirdo . marlena : uh , w - was that -- did val have to go to the hospital ? kayla : yeah , she did . she did n't say why , but she did . marlena : oh . well , i wonder who the patient is . abe : so , dr . grant , is there anything you can do ? we only have a few hours . valerie : well ... i did do a brief plastic surgery rotation when i was a resident , but that was a long time ago . brady : well , we 're pretty desperate . really , you can try anything . john : anything . valerie : well , i do have one idea . but i 'm gon na need your help . i ca n't do it by myself . allergies with sinus congestion and pressure ? eric : so why do n't you want to go to mom and john 's wedding ? i mean , is it because you do n't have a date ? roman : [ laughs ] no , i do n't mind going stag anywhere . eric : if it 's not about anna , then what ? roman : hey , i know what you 're thinkin ' , and you 're wrong , okay ? your mom and i were over a long time ago . no , maybe -- i do n't know . maybe it 's just me , but i 've always thought that an ex - husband or an ex - wife at a wedding , that just seemed ... strange . eric : mm . roman : kinda awkward , you know ? i mean , it 's their day . i want them to totally enjoy it . eric : yeah , but mom and john want you there . we all do . roman : i appreciate that , and i get it , but i 'm gon na sit this one out . eric : first sami , and now you . roman : any word from your sister as to why she 's not coming ? eric : she said it was about hope and rafe . mom does n't buy it , and neither do i . roman : well , i left sami a couple voicemails . i have n't heard back . i hope she 's okay . eric : i 'm sure she is . you know , maybe it 's best that she does n't show up anyway . i mean , besides susan banks back in town and all . roman : susan banks ? eric : yeah . roman : oh , man . eric : mom and will , they may have forgiven her . but sami ... not a chance . kayla : i have no idea who val 's patient is . marlena : well , it does n't matter . i just did n't know if there were a patient or you were just trying to -- belle : trying to get rid of susan . yes , she was . and hallelujah ! kayla : i 'm sure that susan means well . i just do n't think that she needs to be here while you 're getting ready . belle : it is ironic . marlena : ironic ? why ? belle : [ giggling ] 'cause kayla gave the job of centering the centerpieces to the most off - center person on the planet . kayla : well ... marlena : belle . belle ! belle : come on , it 's funny !

[ scene_break ] billie : there 's no way that patrick would let things get far , not with chelsea . bo : you would n't say that if you saw what i saw . billie : bo , chelsea 's had a crush on patrick for a few months now . i mean , when we first moved into the house with patrick , i was taking a shower , and chelsea `` accidentally `` walked in , in a towel . it was obvious she was hoping to see patrick . and then when she saw little old me , she was a little p.o .

kate : so , has your physical therapist been in ? rafe : yeah , she has . and she 'll be back later . but let 's talk about the night that sami shot bernardi . kate : okay , let 's not . because you really need to stay calm , so -- rafe : i 'm kind of sick of staying calm , actually . i wan na find out some answers -- will : hey . hey , what 's up ? kate : hi , sweetie . will : hey . brought another picture of ari for you . rafe : well , let me see that thing then . well , look at that . she does get cuter by the day , does n't she ? will : yep . hey , sorry . i probably should 've knocked first or something . kate : no , no problem . rafe : that 's fine . kate and i were just talking about the night that sami shot bernardi . kate : yes , and i was trying to explain to rafe that he needs to keep the stress at a minimum . and hope and abe and roman have gone over all the evidence , so -- rafe : yeah , but i have n't . so , let 's talk about it . from the beginning , shall we ? sami : well , in case you 've forgotten , i love ej . we 're going to get married . melinda : not unless the warden grants permission . justin : melinda , get serious . melinda : i am . i 've done my homework , ms . brady . you and ej have , shall we say , a checkered past . you 've done much worse to him that a simple setup . and it 's a well - known fact that your fiancé goes into a rage at the mere mention of his father . you give me ej , he 'll give me daddy . sami : go to hell . melinda : i expected you to say that . you need time to process . but i wo n't wait forever . think about your children . no mother for ten years , or for their entire lives ? they 'd still be young when you got out . and i 'd make sure the state allowed for very generous visitation rights . talk it over with justin . he 's a good attorney . he 'll advise you . it 's an excellent offer . stoller : you 're obviously going to great lengths to , uh , help your fiancée . i hope she 's grateful . ej : oh , she is . well , she will be . she loves me every bit as much as i love her . sami : the idea of betraying ej , setting him up , i mean , it 's crazy , right ? justin : let me put it this way -- it 's the best offer , probably the only offer , you 're gon na get . te : thanks , mom . daniel : wow . one of these days , i 'm gon na have to write something about you , maxine . `` from anonymous . `` oh , boy . `` dr. jonas deserves this honor for any number of reasons . he 's an extremely talented surgeon who saved countless lives . but just as important to me is the fact that he exhibits a warmth and caring for his patients that is unmatched . on a personal note , i can tell you that in 2011 , he performed a difficult and dangerous heart operation on me . `` jennifer : then this last fall , my appendix burst and he operated on me in a remote location , using only basic tools he could find at the scene . i work with a great many doctors , and they are all fine individuals . but dr. jonas is so capable , so caring , and so compassionate that he not only saved my life , he changed it . joyce : i 'm hoping the photographer makes him take off his shirt . maxine : you did not just say that . joyce : what ? the guy 's obviously in great shape . maxine : and you would know that how ? joyce : fine . i 'm just guessing . that 's why i would n't mind a little proof . maxine : the guy is a highly respected surgeon . joyce : so ? surgeons do n't take their shirts off ? maxine : oh , joyce , please , give it a rest . dr. jonas would never allow that . joyce : yeah , but think of the magazines they 'd sell . maxine : you do realize that dr. jonas is taken , do n't you ? joyce : i thought that `` dannifer `` thing was off again . maxine : `` dannifer `` ? joyce : yeah , you never heard that ? it 's what everyone around here calls them . maxine : [ chuckles ] oh , i get it . you mean like `` brangelina `` or `` kattom , `` right ? joyce : [ laughs ] it 's `` tomkat , `` and that 's over . maxine : oh , really ? well , forgive me for not being up on the celebrity romance or those silly , idiotic , combined names . and by the way , i think it 's kind of shameless that everyone around here has nothing better to do than gossip about the personal lives of the staff . joyce : oh , lighten up , maxine . maxine : no . no , i will not lighten up , not about this . dr. jonas and jennifer do n't need you all whispering behind their backs . and fyi , i know dr. jonas pretty well . and he 's so in love with jennifer , trust me , it will never be off . not if he has anything to say about it . in fact , i think this photo shoot at the apartment today might be just what they need to fix things . jennifer : harry , this is the lens . but i think that you really did such a fantastic job . so if you just wan na use that for a special effect , or -- harry : um , i changed my mind , so we 're good . if you could just sign . jennifer : oh , great . yeah , that was really good . okay , um , thank you again . harry : you 're welcome . jennifer : and this was wonderful . you know where to get a hold of me ... harry : i do . jennifer : if there are any problems . have a great day . harry : oh , thanks . jennifer : okay . well , that 's that . and now i will get out of here and get back to work . thank you so much for doing that . daniel : jennifer , wait . hope : you were arrested in l.a. six times . theresa : no , no , no . two , minor stuff . hope : theresa , stop . stop lying . would you stop lying , okay ? because the lapd emailed me your rap sheet . theresa : oh , my god . hope : `` stolen car , dui , fighting , possession of drug paraphernalia . `` oh , and last , but certainly not least -- let me get to that . `` possession of cocaine . `` do you have any idea how lucky you are to be sitting where you are , and not in prison ? fortunately , your parents and your lawyer convinced the judge to give you probation , providing that you moved here to salem , you let us help you , and you cleaned up your act . so , how 's that working out , do you think ? theresa : fine . hope : theresa , honey , you have a huge family that loves you . theresa : [ scoffs ] hope : everyone is really worried about you . look at me , please . as am i , because clearly it is starting all over again . theresa : and you can prove that how ? hope : what do you think about possibly going to rehab ? theresa : oh , my god , no . okay , that 's it . i have a job to do , okay ? hope : fine . be very good at that job , theresa . it 's your last chance . rafe : so what are we talking ? 10 , 12 people ? kate : well , i mean , we could ask kayla for a head count on the doctors and the nurses . but there were two security guards . there were two orderlies . and it was chaos . rafe : oh , chaos , yes . the perfect cover when a weapon disappears . will : the main thing to remember though , is that mom , obviously , would not have used a gun if she did n't see bernardi with a razor . rafe : oh , of course not . kate : i think we 're just going to have to hope for an impartial jury . rafe : uh - oh . looks like my next torture session 's about to begin . kate : that means you and i have to go . rafe : yes . thanks for the picture , will . will : you bet . okay . whoa . i just hit the mother lode . sami : okay , so , just be honest with me . i mean , is my case completely 100 % hopeless ? justin : it 's not good . i mean , we 'll put character witnesses on the stand . we 'll dispute the forensics , things like that . sami : in other words , yes ? justin : [ sighs ] sami : okay . so , um -- so what 's your advice ? justin : we wo n't do better than this deal . and it could be much worse . ej : is everything all right ? justin : everything 's fine . sami : yeah , it 's fine . i 'm just , you know , stressed out . ej : look , samantha , i know things seem bleak right now . but i 'm actually feeling better about things than i did . sami : why ? ej : well , i just -- i have good feeling . justin : well , let 's hope you still have that good feeling after we pick the jury . sami : i do n't . i do n't have a good feeling , ej . i feel hopeless . i feel like if i go to trial , i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life behind bars . ej : what do you mean ? i 'm sorry , samantha . if ? if you go to trial ? jordan : excuse me , sir . this patient needs time alone . please , leave . you bet . but first , william horton , katherine roberts , rafael hernandez , you have been served . rafe : what the hell ?

[ uplifting music ] [ somber music ] this joyous occasion is the official coming together of two people who have loved each other for so long . i know from experience how much it means to be surrounded by loved ones at a time like this . `` susan `` : [ sniffling ] i always cry at weddings . [ crying ] [ blows nose loudly ] i - i - i 'm so sorry . i just have allergies . just keep going . [ sniffles ] abe : ah , it is my privilege to join john black and marlena evans in holy matrimony . [ soft , stirring music ] abe : john and marlena have asked will horton to speak first . will : um , my grandmother has asked me to read a sonnet from william shakespeare . [ exhales ] `` let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments . love is not love which alters when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove . o , no . it is an ever - fixed mark that looks on tempest and is never shaken ; it is the star to every wand'ring bark , whose worth 's unknown , although his height be taken . love 's not time 's fool , though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle 's compass come , but bears it out even to the edge of doom . if this be error and upon me prov 'd , i never writ , nor no man ever lov'd. `` so obviously [ laughs ] i am no shakespeare , but i would also like to speak a little bit from the heart . um ... until very recently , i had little to no memory of any of you . i was told that you loved me and that i loved you . but i struggled with that with trying to feel the love that i just did n't remember . but now i realize that love is n't tied to the past . for as long as john and my grandmother have loved each other , what we 're celebrating here today is n't the memory of that love . it 's that it still exists , and it 's still alive today , in the present . so love to me is ... living every moment like a breath , every moment as if it were a heartbeat . [ soft , emotional music ] [ chuckling , murmuring ] [ country western music plays ] roman : hey , sonny . what can i get ya ? sonny : a shot of tequila . the good stuff , please . roman : really ? sonny : really . how come you 're not at the wedding ? roman : well , somebody 's got ta hold down the fort . uh ... what 's that doing here ? sonny : well , this is just a memory that will and i had . and i have to accept the fact that this picture and everything it means is in the past . roman : by knocking back tequila ? sonny : saying good - bye to the love of my life . you got a better way to do that ? will : people told me that you and i had a very special connection . and i didn't ... really know what [ laughs ] to even think of that at first . all i knew of myself was i was a bartender in memphis . um ... but the first day that i met you , you gave me the courage to come here . and you gave me the courage to allow myself to be loved . and then eventually to love . so i just wan na say thank you , thank you very much to both of you for letting me be a part of this amazing celebration of love and commitment . [ soft percussive note ] marlena : thank you all for joining us today ... at this celebration of love and commitment . [ uneasy music ] marlena : we are here to witness and share the marriage of sonny kiriakis and william horton . marlena : will ? is everything all right ? will : yeah . yeah , i 'm sorry . it 's fine , uh ... i -- you know , it just hit me what [ laughs ] what a big moment this is for the two of you . i love you . marlena : [ mouthing ] i love you . abe : and now we will hear from john 's son paul . paul : hey , what 's wrong ? what happened up there ? sonny : for reasons i wo n't get into , um ... i decided to tell will how i felt . that i never stopped loving him , and that i wanted him back . but he made it very clear that he 's not interested . [ inhales ] yeah . he 's just all about paul . and that 's just gon na ... be the way it is . will : paul , everyone is waiting for you . paul : you sure you 're all right ? will : yes , i 'm fine , i just got a little dizzy . i think i 'm gon na chug some water . paul : want me to go with you ? will : no ! there 's a whole wedding waiting for you . paul : [ chuckles ] i 've been asked to offer words from johann wolfgang von goethe , an 18th - century poet and statesman . but what most of us do n't know about goethe is that , uh , well , he was considered one of the greatest power hitters of all time . [ light laughter ] no , i 'm serious . i 'm not kidding -- the man was filthy behind the plate . [ laughter ] the reason we do n't know this about him is , well ... well , it 's because his playing left field made him a defensive liability . yeah , but despite his limitations , see , goethe was smart enough to know to hold up his glove when a ball was being thrown at him . steve : oh ! [ laughter ] paul : [ chuckles ] well , that 's a story for another day . goethe said that ... `` that is the true season of love ... when we believe that we alone can love , that no one else could ever have loved so before us ... and that no one will love in the same way as us . [ stirring music ] will : calm down , calm down , calm down . [ exhales ] remembering does n't change anything . remembering does n't change anything . [ exhales ] [ lightly edgy music ] marlena : i was so honored to be asked to officiate here today . it is n't often that we get to be a part of such a completely joyous occasion . this one in particular holds a unique place in our lives and a very , very special place in my heart . will : [ groans ] mm ... [ lightly edgy music ] when i received the diagnosis , [ indistinct chatter ] abe : john and marlena have written their own vows , and now they would like to say them to one another . marlena : [ light laugh ] wow . and here we are . i love you so much . you are ... you are my life . you are my love . you are my confidant . you know , every time you call me doc ... it reminds me how much you understand and support the work that i do . you know , i 've been doing this a very long time . i 've seen a ... a lot of ... relationships , a lot of love stories . and the one thing i never really clearly understood ... was ... what makes people fall in love with each other . [ light laugh ] i mean , love is , um , mysterious , it 's unpredictable . people fall in love , and they do things -- sometimes good , sometimes bad -- they would never normally do . see , love ... love does n't have any patterns . it does n't have any rules . it really is just a leap of faith . maybe they call it that because we 're never sure somebody is going to be there to catch us . and yet , we leap . it is such a show of ... courage , of bravery . [ emotional music ] [ lightly tense music ] will : this is crazy . [ breathing hard , sniffling ] sonny : i love a good adventure . that 's been my life . and what my dad said is kinda true . i 've been out on the edge most of my life . i 've been to every continent on this earth ... and if you had asked me a couple years ago , i would have said ... that will be my life . i never thought i would settle down ... until i met will . [ somber music ] you 're my anchor ... my anchor who ... never weighs me down but gives me something to hold on to ... a reason to make a home . our life together is the greatest ... adventure of my life . roman : well , sorry about that -- we are out of the good stuff . sonny : just my luck . well , um , just ... gim me whatever you have then . roman : all right . you know what , sonny , um ... something i wan na say . i know that you remember when will came out that , uh , i was n't the most accepting member of the family . sonny : yeah . it was a , you know , a shock to all of you . roman : yeah , but sami made it very clear to me that i 'd better change my ways if i wanted to be a part of will 's life and hers . and then ... i watched you two guys fall in love . and i watched you ... accept that baby that will had with gabi as your own . and then i saw the three of you make a family together for that little girl . i got ta tell you , it was a beautiful thing to see , all right ? and not only that , you guys made me lose some very stupid and backward ideas i 'd had ... and i ca n't thank you enough for that . sonny : well , i 'm , uh ... i 'm sorry that we could n't keep it going for ya . roman : hey , look . will cheated on you . that hurts . look , i know that , okay ? and i am so sorry it did n't work out for you . but something i wan na tell you . i am very proud to know you . [ soft guitar chords ] sonny : [ sighs ] i had you , will . i had you . no matter what ... happened between us , i had your heart . you wanted to get past what happened , and i - i blew it and held on to my pride , my ego . i just let you go . [ scoffs ] what the hell was i thinking ? [ soft , contemplative music ] marlena : [ laughs ] i fall for you ... every single day . i know it is n't always smooth [ voice breaks ] sailing . i know sometimes you make me a little crazy . [ light laughter ] but there is ... no one else i would rather be crazy about . and crazy with . [ both laughing ] so i vow to you today to be with you on this crazy adventure called love for every day until i die . [ soft , stirring music ] with uncontrolled moderate - to - severe eczema , john : [ sighs ] she did it again . [ laughter ] sweetheart , you just ... stopped my heart when i saw you standing there at the end of that aisle . and then you ... you took my breath away when you started walking towards me , the finals steps of this incredible journey that has led us to this moment to ... to promise ourselves only to each other . you know , it just hit me again how lucky i am to have you in my life . it 's ... taken us too long to get back here , and that 's -- that 's been on -- [ voice breaks ] on me . because ... being with me means that you have had to get used to the idea that sometimes i need to ... drop everything and take off in the middle of the night to some far - away place . but i hope you know ... that you 're always on my mind , sweetheart . and my heart is always here with you .

marlena : i would n't mind hearing a little more about that . john : your old buddy , xander cook , gave you up to the da , kristen . he 's gon na walk away a free man now . hope : said you were running the entire operation , and he was just following orders . john : yeah , he 'd say anything to keep himself out of prison , but you know , when i heard that , i started putting a few things together , like when maggie told kate that she saw you in nicole 's hotel room . brady : i did n't even believe her . john : nobody believed her . kate : she 's the one who had ted and me kidnapped . she 's the one who wanted us to die in the basement . she 's the one who threatened my family if i did n't blame stefan , right ? brady : so you knew ? you knew nicole was kristen ? kate : no , no . no , i thought she was a victim , just like me . i had no idea they were the same person . john : then doc tried to come and talk to you . she tried to help you , but you just said disgusting , cruel things to her , and yeah , nicole was no saint , but she never would 've been that damn vicious . marlena : that 's your specialty . kristen : yeah , well , it was a bad move on my part . every muscle in my body just wanted to grab your skinny throat and squeeze it . john : but you could n't do that , because it would 've given you away , would n't it ? and you knew the only way you could get your hooks into brady was to make him keep thinking you were somebody else , somebody that he was in love with , and that is why you went so overboard tonight to ensure me by whispering in my ear , `` i 'm gon na make brady happier than he has ever been before . `` kristen : i would have . anna : by wearing a rubber mask ? you really thought that would work ? sarah : i told you about the mask that dr . rolf was working on tonight . john : you thought it was science fiction , something right out of `` mission : impossible . `` kristen : yeah , but clearly not so impossible . john : right . and that 's when i put it all together , because without this mask , you could n't operate in salem without giving yourself away . kristen : [ chuckles darkly ] wow , you are really clever , john . i could never put anything past you for long , but i definitely fooled the rest of you morons , even the love of nicole 's life . eric : yeah , why ? brady : why ? why did you do this ? kristen : you do n't know ? brady : no . kristen : i did it for you . brady : you did this for me ? kristen : brother 's company , but most importantly , i did it for you . anna : so that 's it ? she forced you to help her take over dimera enterprises ? tony : no , i agreed to do it . anna : agreed ? why would you help that monster do anything ? tony : it 's complicated . we 'll talk about it later . anna : oh , you better believe we will . kristen : dimera enterprise is my birthright . sarah : you doing all right ? eric : no , i 'm definitely not all right . kristen : what was i supposed to do , stay in exile ? watch vivian 's bastard run it into the ground ? brady , come on . you ca n't be on his side . he forced chad out . he tried to take his wife . marlena : do n't even try to say you did this on moral grounds . you ca n't sell that . kristen : i had to figure out a way to save my father 's company and win the love of my life back . brady : stop it . there 's no way you could 've made it out of that warehouse alive . there 's no way . kristen : yeah , but here i am . luckily , luckily , i had rolf 's playbook , and i could transform myself into the one woman that i thought had a chance with you . i mean , come on , brady . you loved her once , until she slept with your f -- your brother . brady : enough . you fooled me . you got me . a fool . i don't ... no , she -- she did ! she fooled me . john : it 's not on you , man . it 's not on you . brady : i saw the sun . no , i saw the signs . i saw all of them . so what about the scar on your back , kristen ? it was n't from the fire , was it ? it was from the tattoo removal , right ? you had your phoenix taken off your back , 'cause that was the one thing that would give you away . kristen : right , right , and i hated -- i hated it , but it was . you were right . it was a dead giveaway , and it had to go , but inside , inside me , i am still the phoenix , and i beat death again , and if i could n't be with you as myself , at least i could be with you as her . brady : kristen , you stole a woman 's identity , you desecrated her memory , for a man ? kristen : yes , but you were the man ! you are the man , brady ! yes , i stole her identity , but it 's not like she needs it where she is now . sarah : do you want to get out of here ? eric : no , not till i see her dragged out in handcuffs . kristen : and i would do anything to get you back . brady : don't . eli : let 's wrap this up . kristen : if i could figure out a way to come back as myself , and you would give me a chance , i would have . brady : that option kind of went out the window when you decided to drug my brother and have sex with him on video . kristen : i thought it was a gamble . i did -- i did n't even know it was going to work , but i had to try , even though nicole was n't going to have an easy time getting with you , either . eric : you mean because of me ? kristen : [ laughs ] what do you think ? i 'm just a normal person [ disquieting music ] kristen : i admit , you were a thorn in my side , being the love of nicole 's life and all . i mean , there is no accounting for taste . sarah : do n't listen to her . just do n't engage . marlena : no , don't . nothing she can say can change what she 's done . kristen : i have been honest about why i did what i did . i just -- i wish you would understand , brady . brady : understand ? kristen : yeah . brady : understand that you wanted me , but were willing to destroy everyone around me , even my brother ? kristen : oh , my god . you were the fly in my chardonnay , the curdled cream in my coffee . i knew , i knew nicole 's miraculous return was going to be really difficult , because you were gon na be right there , panting after her , clinging to her like a barnacle , so i had to come up with a really good reason for her to reject you . eric : holly ? kristen : go to the head of the class , my boy . [ chuckles ] that little girl 's untimely death , uh , was just what i needed . i mean , it was the motivation nicole needed to just grind you into the ground . sarah : you used the death of a child for your own devices ? marlena : she even blamed you over and over for holly 's death . kristen : marlena , i mean , it kind of was . i mean , was n't it nicole 's dying wish for you to take care of her holly , protect her , and did n't you hand holly over to that fembot , chloe , while the drug cartel was after her ? [ mock gasps ] oh . and did n't chloe succumb to my idiot half - brother ? did n't , uh , she accept his offer to move in with him , let him take care of her and her little brood , and was n't it the drug cartel that kidnapped holly from his house ? i mean , it was genius . it really was , because holly died , and then bingo , nicole was free to send you and all her annoying loved ones packing . sarah : you almost destroyed my mother when you blamed her for holly 's death . kristen : you know what ? i - i felt really bad about that . i did . i do n't have anything against maggie . you know what , john ? do you remember when you and i coached that little league team together ? john : yeah . you were a different person back then . kristen : yeah , but i still look pretty fetching in a baseball cap . oh , but a girl 's got ta do what a girl 's got ta do . brady : what if holly had n't died ? what was your plan to get me to get -- get over nicole ? hope : you 're so calculating . the kidnapping -- it did n't just fall into your lap , did it ? the drug cartel was n't behind holly 's death . you were . you did it . you orchestrated the whole thing , did n't you ? kristen : just like i , uh , caused both world wars and the dust bowl , the dry- out . wow , hope , you have got too much time on your hands now that you 're not commissioner anymore . eli : but i am commissioner , all right , and i tend to trust hope 's gut , so if she thinks that you orchestrated holly 's death , i believe her . kristen : you 're not gon na prove anything . eric : you took the life of a sweet , innocent little girl ... brady : no . eric : just to break up with me ? brady : no , she didn't . she would do a lot of things , but given how much she 's always wanted a child , i do n't think she would harm one . kristen : thank you . thank you . i really appreciate that . but if anyone is responsible for holly 's death , it 's you , sweetheart . you , eric . you sent that little girl to her grave , just like you sent her daddy to his . eric : that little girl did not deserve to die ! she did n't deserve to die ! sonny : she 's got a gun ! [ all yell ] kristen : anybody moves , the bitch gets it . roman : easy , easy . [ disquieting synth music ] john : easy , easy , easy . kristen : you know what ? move . i should just do it , mm ? i put a cap in you , and then someone shoots me , and we go out in a blaze of glory . will : no ! kristen : you know , i suggest you hold off on your heroics . wow , you know what , john ? all that bilge you spouted about how you could n't live without your beloved here ? i think you might just have to live with that . john : let her go . kristen : why , so that everyone here will be on me like white on rice ? john : i said let her go . kristen : and i said no . you know , i think doc and i have had this date since the beginning . hmm ? and i 'm not afraid to pull the trigger . hope : you 're the woman i saw in the park , hovering over a trash can , because you were disposing of the necklace you stole from ted 's apartment after you killed him . kristen : i invoke my constitutional right not to answer , on the grounds that i may incriminate myself . kate : because you 're guilty , and you know it . you murdered ted . kristen : you are having a night for yourself , are n't you , babe ? well , i really loved watching you try and pull out susan 's , uh , buck teeth . will : where is susan ? did you do something to her ? [ suspenseful music ] let 's just say susan wo n't be stepping on my blue suede shoes anymore .

[ laughs ] alliteration under these circumstances . i might be better than i thought . john : you do n't need her , kristen . let her go . kristen : do n't you get it , john ? this is my ticket out of here . last year , i was forced to settle on your psychotic granddaughter . this year , i have upgraded to first class . i have finally got my hands on the one thing i have waited my whole adult life to destroy . john : take me instead . marlena : john , no . kristen : [ laughs ] oh , wow . that 's intriguing , john , but , uh , i 'm gon na go with what doc says . no sale . brady : what about me ? it 's all right . said you 've done all of this for me . well , let her go , and i 'm all yours . [ suspenseful music ] humira patients , you inspire us . brady : i 'm serious . i can give you the one thing that you want more than to hurt her . that 's me . kristen : nice try , but i did n't get where i am by being naive . you said some things to me , and i heard them , and -- so now you 're just gon na walk off into the sunset with a monster ? brady : i do n't -- i do n't want my father and marlena to hurt anymore . i want them to be okay . just take me , kristen . just do it . marlena : no , no , do n't do that . kristen : right now , it 's time for you to shut your trap . brady : kristen . kristen , i 'm serious . show me -- show me your humanity right now , in this moment . please . i will work this out . kristen : why ? no , why ? brady : because we 've done this before , remember ? i left eve for you before . kristen : yeah , but you double - crossed me . brady : but you 've spent the last month getting back at me , so -- kristen : aye , touché , touché . still , i still ca n't trust you . brady : kristen , i do n't think mutual trust is gon na be a big point in our relationship , but if you want a one - way ticket out of here , baby , just take me . kristen : you remember when i , um , asked you if you would go away with me tonight ? brady : yeah . kristen : yeah , i was gon na tell you everything . i was gon na tell you who i was . i really hoped , like , really hoped , that this would all be true , that you would remember that i was the woman that you loved . i really , really thought that , brady . i thought that we could be together forever . so honestly , i do n't think that the commissioner here is going to , uh , let us do anything . brady : he might , you know . if you let me change places with marlena , i know that we can work something out . kristen : forget it . brady : why ? kristen : why ? because you 're just gon na double - cross me again , and we both know it . no . no , i 'm just gon na take my beautifully coiffed human shield and get the hell out of here ! john : easy ... kristen : back . get back .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : hello ? hi , this is chelsea brady -- shawn brady 's sister . i was calling to check and see how he was doing . can you tell me anything ? oh , sure . i 'll hold . nurse : dr . carver ? a family member of shawn brady 's is asking about his condition . lexie : which line ? nurse : line 3 . lexie : okay , thanks . this is dr . carver . chelsea : hi , lexie . it 's chelsea brady . lexie : yes ? chelsea : listen , i 'm really worried about shawn . can you tell me how he 's doing ? lexie : uh ... shawn 's doing fine , chelsea . chelsea : are you telling me the truth ? i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to call you a liar . it 's just that you hesitated when i asked you how he was . lexie : well , it 's nothing health - related , but a situation has come up . um , chelsea , this is nothing for you to concern yourself with . chelsea : i 'm his sister . why would n't i be concerned ? lexie : if you 're so concerned , i suggest you talk to shawn and ask him to explain .

[ laughs ] so anyway , turns out i 'm not a very good criminal . someone saw the whole thing and made a tape of it . sonny : oh , my god . justin : so ... i 'm out . and i 'm lucky , actually , lucky that i ... i only lost my job . sonny : dad , how did you not get arrested ? justin : because he was a low level guy . i mean , there was no harm except for the fact that ... he walked . abe understood that deimos was a threat to our family . the bottom line : i broke the law , and i had to resign . sonny : well , is this gon na go public ? do we need to find a good lawyer ? are they gon na pull uncle vic into this , too ; are they gon na go after him ? justin : no , no , no , no , no . no publicity , no trial . as bad as this would be for our family , it would be worse for the salem pd and the prosecutor 's office . and i kept victor 's name out of it , said i came up with the whole thing . but abe agreed to let me resign quietly , for personal reasons . sonny : this is all because of deimos . justin : i 'm the one who did it . sonny : to get to deimos . justin : yeah . too bad that truce did n't start , uh , sooner . sonny : dad , there is no truce . if i 'm right , this was all a smoke screen so deimos could set uncle vic up with that kidnapping . justin : you sound awfully sure . sonny : because uncle vic would n't kidnap tate . brady : it 's like nothing ever happened . theresa : i know . i hope he slept like that every night .

[ sami laughs softly ] [ quiet , emotional music ] it 's worth fighting for . john : kristen . did you listen to what you just said ? you survived . you got your life back . i do n't think you really want to go through with this anymore . kristen : actually , i kinda do . john : just put the gun down . come on . abe : look ... we can end this peacefully without anyone getting hurt . just ... just let it go . kristen : you wo n't let it go . you will never let this go . marlena : if you put down the gun , i will not press charges . kristen : how dare you ? you wo n't press charges after you threw me to my death ? [ scoffs ] you did n't give me one thought after that . you are the worst excuse for a human being that i have ever met in my entire life . it 's time for payback . it 's finally time you got yours . i chose this day , specifically your wedding day , to end your life . you and john are on the verge of happily ever after ?

[ voices rise ] [ intense music ] with uncontrolled moderate - to - severe eczema , sami : do you believe me now ? she said -- she said she was gon na kill you as soon as you were married , and that is why -- that is why i had to stop the wedding . eric : all right , sami kristen : sami , i have plenty of bullets ... so if you do n't get out of my way , i will take you out too . sami : i 'm not going to let you kill my mother . kristen : you ca n't stop me . no one can stop me . brady : that 's not really true , is it ? you could stop this anytime you wanted to . kristen : brady . i hoped you 'd be here . will : [ laughs ] it 's hard to imagine anyone forgetting my mom . sonny : yeah , i mean , she 's , uh ... formidable . will : yeah . she 's so much more than that . i remember coming out to her . i remember how disappointed she was ... and scared . sonny : i mean , she -- she did come around . will : yeah ... she did , i remember that . that 's because my dad -- oh , my god ! my dad ! i remember my dad ! i - i - i remember how -- how supportive he was about me coming out . until ... until he found out about us . sonny : yeah . my mom was the the same way -- she was n't that big of a fan of us . i do n't know if you remember that part or not , but ... she also came around . will : yeah . so did my dad . he ended up ... being really happy for us . sonny : that 's the important thing . will : man ... i took so long figuring things out , i didn't ... did n't make it easy on them . sonny : well , i mean , it was n't easy on you ... being their kid . will : yeah . i remember blaming them my entire childhood for not being the perfect couple . all i wanted ... was for my parents to be together . you know , i wanted that ... that perfect , happy family . but now i know that there 's really no such thing as ... perfection , you know ? at least not when it comes to family . sonny : well , perfection could be boring . will : yeah . my folks were -- [ laughing ] my folks were never boring . [ sniffles ] my ... my dad 's an alcoholic . he 's been married a bunch of times , and ... my mom is ... sonny : she 's ... sami . will : ha . oh , my god , i was horrible to her . i was -- i was not -- not big on forgiveness where she was concerned . sonny : yeah , but she also did some things that are ... kinda hard to forgive . will : like ... having ben strangle me a second time so that maybe i 'd get my memory back ? sonny : yeah , yeah , i mean , that 's vintage sami . will : she did it 'cause she loves me . sonny : fiercely . will : fiercely . like i love her . brady : you 're doing that thing again , kristen ... that dimera thing where you list all the terrible things that everybody has done to you , but you kinda skip over what you 've done to everybody else . like stealing someone 's child . kristen : my child . brady : and how about the second before you went out that window , you had that gun aimed at marlena just like you are now , yet you wind up being the victim every time . you know that i know you better than anyone in this room . i even know the piece of you that 's trying so hard not to come out right now -- the woman that just wants to be loved , that just wants to be a mother . that just wants ... love herself . but what screwed all that up ? hmm ? kristen : you did . brady : you sure ? kristen : [ softly ] i did . brady : your need for revenge did . you remember , do n't you , when we talked about adopting our own child and having a family ? we were that close . kristen : till you changed your mind . brady : why ? why did i change my mind ? kristen : because of what i did to eric . [ crowd gasps , exclaims ] eric . [ intense , suspenseful music ] you just made a very big mistake ! [ suspenseful music ] kristen : i was here to get marlena ... and that 's all . but you , brady , you just ... took me down painful memory lane to distract me from father doofus here . so i 'm gon na ...

[ giggling ] oh , come on ! come on . do n't you remember ? you found john having sex with your mother on the conference table all those years ago ? oh , that memory should just -- that probably shook you up . broke your father 's heart . broke your family apart and ruined your lives . oh ... sami . sami : john and i worked that out ... years ago . and even if we had n't , i would never do that , 'cause my mom loves him . kristen : and you love ... ej . sami : wha ... what does ej have to do with any of this ? kristen : i 'm sorry , did n't i tell you ?

[ scene_break ] victor : i appreciate your concern , brady , but as i told you before , it 's unwarranted . brady : you ca n't lock nicole up , granddad . there 's a law against that sort of thing . victor : my wife has led a very harem - scarem existence . she needs boundaries and lots of structure in order to feel secure . brady : uh , with all due respect , granddad , hanging out with nicole has made me realize something . she is a wild bird , a free spirit , so to speak . she needs outdoors , wide - open spaces -- victor : that 's why my little sparrow of a wife needs to have her wings clipped .

[ scene_break ] victor : our priorities changed , that 's all . maybe that 's difficult for someone of your generation to understand . brady : no , it 's not that i do n't understand it , i do n't buy it . you two are miserable with each other . victor : if my blushing bride were all that miserable , why does n't she just leave ?

[ scene_break ] john : you know -- kate : could you take me -- could i take him for a second ? could you give me just a quick spin around the dance floor ? john : what a great idea . roman : well , um , at the risk of butting in where i probably should n't , is there a problem ? [ scene_break ] marlena : uh , i asked john if he would give sami a job at basic black , and he 's refused . roman : ca n't say i blame him . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm john : that 's a nice save . kate : mm . so , you want to tell me about it ? john : nah . kate : look , i 'll be glad to help if i can . john : well , there is this ... person marlena wants me to hire on at basic black , and ... i think it 's a terrible idea . [ scene_break ] marlena : i think it 's perfect for sami . she 's always enjoyed fashion , and this could be a real career for her . roman : doc , look , i love our daughter very much , but hurricanes could be named after her . she causes major chaos wherever she goes . [ scene_break ] kate : so this person that marlena wants you to hire -- john : oh , by the way , i said no , so ... kate : well , i 'm very familiar with a lot of people in the fashion and the publishing worlds . is it someone that i know ? [ scene_break ] tony : it may take a little finagling on my part , but i think i 'm confident enough that i can help you land a job at basic black . sami : really , tony ? that is so amazing . thank you for coming to my rescue again . i do n't know how to thank you . tony : ah , it 's my pleasure . i live to make you happy . ha ha . sami : ahem . well , look at the time . i have to go . you need to rest , recover from your injuries . i 'll see you soon . tony : yes , yes . [ chuckles ] ah , well ... [ scene_break ] bart : boss , anything i can get you before i turn in ? tony : thanks , but i think i have everything i need tonight . bart : sir , i could n't help overhearing . tony : that 's -- that 's a surprise , yeah . bart : john black has accused you of attempted murder . now , how are you going convince him to give sami brady a job ? tony : i 'm not . [ scene_break ] bo : i do n't mean to scare you . hope : it 's okay . hey , we have to face the facts and admit what we 're dealing with . bo : the fact is , someone 's trying to kill us , and the only way to stop them is to catch them . hope : brady , what i went through with larry welch -- him stalking me all those months -- i ca n't go through that again . i wo n't . bo : you do n't have to . i 'm gon na protect you and our family at all costs . so , the decision is definite . hope : what ? bo : well , like i said , we 're putting the bounty hunting business on hold as of now . bo : we spent a lot of money getting things started -- buying a new suv and everything . we 're probably in the hole . hope : hey , wait a minute . bo : hmm ? hope : i have some good news , brady . bo : what ? hope : i called and checked on my stock portfolio . things are starting to look up . bo : well , that 's just great , but we 're not touching that money . it 's for the boys . hope : yeah . you mentioned something earlier about taking a job as a security guard . bo : yeah , a buddy of mine retired from the force . he 's a detective -- or was a detective . he , um , opened his new agency . always looking for people to work at night . that would give me my days free to track down our assailant , and i 'd be here in salem with you and the boys . hope : as long as we have each other , we will make ends meet one way or the other , brady . bo : yes , we will . keeping our family together -- that 's all that matters . [ scene_break ] brady : henderson , of course i 'm concerned about nicole 's welfare . she 's my grandfather 's wife . i just want her to be happy . henderson : whatever you say , sir . i did n't mean to imply anything -- brady : good night , henderson . oh , where 's the fire ? victor : you stay out of it . brady : nicole . [ scene_break ] woman : are you afraid of flying ? nicole : no . no , i 'm just , uh ...

[ scene_break ] john : do you really want to know ? i 'll tell you . kate : you know something ? i do n't want to know . do n't tell me . whoever marlena wants you to hire , that 's your business , and i 'm going to stay out of it . john : probably just as well . kate : you look miserable . john : you think ? it 's not easy for me to say no to doc . kate : you know something ? if this is going to be such a stumbling block in your relationship , why do n't you just let me help ? there 's no job right now , but i could talk to human resources , and maybe they could create a position . john : ha ha ha ha ha . you could live to regret that one . kate : you know something ? if there 's one thing i learned in my marriage to victor , it 's that you should never , ever let work come between you and the person you love . [ scene_break ] roman : all right , doc . let 's say sami does go to work for john , and true to form , she makes one bad decision after another . do you really want that kind of stress between your husband and you ? marlena : she would n't be working that closely with john . and he 's only there part - time , anyway . roman : yeah , but kate is there full - time , and given her relationship with sami , that could blow up real fast . look , i -- i 'm just saying i think it 's a bad idea to force our daughter on john and kate . marlena : maybe you 're right . roman : i believe i am . marlena : maybe sami will have to work this out all by herself . [ scene_break ] john : i do n't know , kate . i appreciate the offer , but ... kate : hey , you 're not going to have to work with them . i 'll teach them the ropes . i 'll make sure they fit in . john : that could prove to be pretty difficult . kate : oh , believe me , i can whip anyone into shape . john : that 's a fact . kate : why do n't you just let me do this for you and marlena ? john : god knows it would make her happy . and it would get me out of hot water . kate : then i insist .

[ scene_break ] hope : okay , so what 's the game plan ? how are we going to track down the person who tried to kill us , brady ? bo : well , for starters , we 're gon na keep a low profile . while i hit the streets -- ouch -- you are going to keep an eye on zack . hope : excuse me ? [ scene_break ] bart : boss , if you 're not the one to get sami brady hired at basic black , well , then who is ? tony : it 's a game . if sami gets the job , she 'll feel beholden to me . if she does n't , she 'll be upset with john , and she 'll come running back to me . although i do n't think that will happen . i ca n't see my brother john not granting his precious marlena her wish . and either way , it 's a win - win situation . bart : swingin ' . tony : all right , swinging . but sami brady is as good as mine . [ scene_break ] sami : much better . [ scene_break ] roman : well , all right . do you think i could steal my date back now ? john : no problem . thanks again for the save . hmm hmm .

philip : so you 're suggesting we do a dna test ? lexie : yeah . as i said , the lab technicians believe the information found in claire 's file is legit . but , you know , given the suspicious circumstances of how it got here and your understandable skepticism , it would be a quick and easy way to clear this up beyond question . so , what do you say ? philip : i say a dna test is completely unnecessary . shawn and belle have never been together , so there 's no possible way that shawn could be claire 's father , right , belle ?

roman : aside from the fact my daughter 's going on trial for murder ? adrienne : i hate it that that 's what it -- roman : a closed trial . so her dad ca n't even be there to support her . adrienne : i 'm sorry . roman : yeah . you sorry about sami or the fact you turned in the evidence that 's gon na put her in prison ?

ej : i still do n't understand why you 're doing this . kristen : why is it so hard to believe that i 'd wan na help my future sister - in- law ? who is facing life in prison , by the way . besides , it gives me something else to concentrate on . ej : meaning ? kristen : oh , nothing . you know , i really hope you do n't have to change that portrait in any way , you know ? maybe add a little prison orange to sami 's outfit ? jj : get your hands off me . jennifer : daniel . daniel , let go of him ! daniel : you apologize to your mother right now ! jennifer : daniel , that is my son ! daniel : apologi -- who do you think you are ?

me ? okay . i do not believe you actually are putting this on me ? jennifer : why would n't i put this on you ? you just attacked my son . daniel : who called his mother -- his mother a slut ! jennifer , we were kissing . you -- you -- you may be as smart as they come , but when jj 's involved , you are deaf , dumb , and blind . jennifer : that 's because you have no idea what -- daniel : you really are , and i 'm not just talking about how he makes you jump through hoops when it comes to me . i am talking about who he is , what he does when you 're not around . do you know what that is ? jennifer : that 's right because you think he 's a criminal , right ? daniel : no , i do n't . jennifer : why do n't you just admit it and at the same time , why do n't you give me proof of why you even think that ? daniel : okay , look , i have -- i have heard some things , yes . and i 've seen him hanging around some shady characters . but since you never wanted to hear it , i just keep my mouth shut . jennifer : that 's amazing . daniel : i do n't say a thing . jennifer : no , jj 's right . you do hate him . daniel : no , i do not . you wan na know what the truth is ? the truth is i love you and i wan na help you . that 's the truth . jennifer : well , you 're doing just the opposite . daniel : jennifer . jennifer . [ growls ] gabi : thank you so much , shelby . you are a life saver . yeah , i 'll get them from you this afternoon ? [ knocks on door ] gabi : okay . thank you so much . okay , bye . nick : hey . are you okay ? gabi : yeah , i just have to be here with ari and i 'm missing my history lecture again , so -- nick : oh , is that gon na count against you ? gabi : well , the professor does n't take attendance if that 's what you mean , but i mean , i need to know what he 's emphasizing in the finals next week , so i 'm -- in the meantime , i 'm trying to do my calculus homework , which i totally do n't get -- nick : hey , hey , hey , hey . calm down . you got to your history lecture . i 'll take care of arianna . gabi : no , sorry . i do n't think that 's a good idea . ej : that was fast . kristen : yeah , sami was very specific . i did n't have to make any decisions really . i got these kids ' photos . i thought she might like 'em . ej : oh , she will love them . thank you . kristen : mm - hmm . she seemed pretty pessimistic . do you really think the trial 's gon na go that badly ? ej : um -- [ clears throat ] actually , i 'm very encouraged by the way things are going now . kristen : mm - hmm . well , justin is a first - rate lawyer . he does n't seem very optimistic . why do you ? ej : instincts . gut feeling . whatever it is that people call it . kristen : i think they call it bribery , blackmail , and intimidation . ej : i have no idea what you 're talking about , darling . kristen : so you have no idea that we dimeras tend to stack the deck to make sure we win ? ej : this is going to be a fair trial . kristen : i hope so . i 'd hate to see with you charged with something stupid like criminal conspiracy . ej : not going to happen . kristen : or leave an opening for stefano to strike back . ej : kristen , i can assure you , i am firmly in control of the situation . the only thing that matters to me is samantha . i did not spend my entire life working to be with the woman who i love and trust just to let it slip through my fingers . justin : you 're thinking melinda trask 's deal is something you might be able to accept ? sami : well , it 's my deal , is n't it ? justin : what do you mean ? sami : look , she thinks i can give her stefano , right ? if i do that , would n't it be worth more than just ten years ? could n't i reduce it to , like , time served ? okay , one year . five years ? justin : all right , let 's just -- let 's just skip the sentence part . in order for you to give her stefano , you have to give her ej . are you ready to do that ? what 's all the buzz ? [ phone rings ] jj : yeah , what ? rory : dude , i 'm going to see you at the final later , right ? you said i could look at your answers ? jj : whatever , dude . rory : great . dude , you do n't sound so good . are you going to flunk or something ? jj : rory , i could pass the finals with my eyes closed , man . just got ta take care of some business first . rory : yeah ? business in the park ? jj : right . people are gon na wan na party after the final gets out , including me . you down ? rory : sure . but seriously , you do n't sound so good . are you sure you 're okay ? jj : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm fine . see ya . jennifer : we need to talk . jj : uh , no we do n't . jennifer : uh , yeah we do . you are not walking away from me again . daniel : come on , come on , jennifer . just pick up . please , just -- [ knocks on door ] man : excuse me , dr. jonas ? daniel : what ? man : you should get your door fixed . package for you . daniel : yeah ? great . thank you . man : can you sign ? have a nice day . daniel : yeah , you too . stupid time to get a package . `` why do n't you get your door fixed ? `` you know , i do n't give a damn -- adrienne : roman , i 've known you since forever and i definitely know how you feel about your children . so let me ask you this . would n't you have done the same thing to protect one of your own ? roman : you know what , adrienne ? i 'm not gon na stand here and give a lecture on what 's right or wrong . you did what you did . nothing we say or do here is gon na change that . adrienne : but , roman , you -- roman : but i wish to god you had n't done that . gabi : i 'm sorry , okay . i know that you 're trying to help . nick : no , no , no , it 's honestly no problem . i totally get it . after what i did to -- to will and sonny , leaving me here to babysit is , uh -- some people , you know , are n't gon na forgive and forget that , uh -- that easily . so , um ... no -- no history lecture , but what 's going on with calculus ? gabi : uh , well , she gave us some -- she gave us all these problems to solve and then we have to work on these other things on derivatives and then i have my test coming up and -- oh , my god , i am so sorry . today you had your parole hearing . i did n't even ask you how it went . nick : yeah , i know , i was wondering about that . you should be thinking about me 24/7 instead of thinking about your history lectures and your calculus and what -- what 's your baby 's name again ? gabi : shut up , just tell me . nick : uh , i was in and out in seven minutes . i 'm a free man . gabi : oh , my gosh , that -- that is amazing . congratulations . nick : thank you . it feels -- it feels really good . it feels like maybe i have , like , a - a shot at a good life now . but , um , that 's -- that 's for later . right now we have to focus on this calculus problem so that we can move on to derivatives . gabi : good luck with that . nick : gabi , it 's -- honestly , it 's pure math . it 's logic . once you understand this , you 're -- it 's gon na be as easy as , like , changing diapers . gabi : okay , great . ej : i 'm sorry . i missed you and brady at chad 's opening . it was quite the gala . kristen : i know . we were there , we just left early . ej : everything okay ? kristen : everything 's better than okay . it 's righter than right . ej : so the two of you are back together then , eh ? kristen : mm - hmm . no problems . well , i forgot to tell you , but i 'm sure you already know . you ca n't tell anybody about this pregnancy scare , not even daniel . ej : i wish i could believe you . kristen : sorry ? ej : kristen , i get the feeling that things are not as perfect as you say they are . kristen : no , everything 's under control . i know what i want . i know how to make it happen . sami : okay , so if i give that bitchy prosecutor something on ej a he ends up getting arrested , do n't you think he could work some deal where if he gives them stefano , he probably would n't have to serve any time at all , right ? justin : okay , let me ask you . how do you think ej will react when you hand him over to the prosecutor ? sami : he 'll be angry , obviously . but he loves me . and he would do anything to save me . he told me that . and he 's really smart . i really think he could get out of this . i mean , he 's gotten out of worse things than this , right ? so if -- if the prosecutor reduces my sentence , right , to something doable , something short , then if i hand over ej , he could work some deal , right , where he does n't have to serve any time at all if he hands them stefano . and then stefano 's the one who goes to prison and everybody else wins . justin : mm - hmm . there 's a lot of ifs in that long sentence . have you thought about what might happen if ej ca n't deliver stefano ? sami : then that would mean that -- justin : you and ej would both be in prison . sami : so , is that from track ? i mean , is she freaking out 'cause i have n't taken her offer yet ? maybe we should wait a little bit and then she 'll sweeten the deal . justin : no , sami , that was to sonny . um , listen , i got ta take off for a little while , but try not to worry . sami : that 's it ? that 's what you 're gon na tell me ? try not to worry ? justin : what do you want me to say ? sami : you 're my lawyer . i want you to tell me that you 're gon na make sure i do n't go down for murder . justin : yeah , well , i certainly do n't hope that happens . roman : hey , justin . justin : yeah , roman -- perfect timing . you can visit with your dad . i 'll be back . roman : hey . sami : hi , daddy . roman : how you doing ? sami : i 've been better . dad , you 've seen this . you 've seen murder cases before . what do you think my chances are ? [ ari crying ] nick : look , uh , i 'm gon na go get ari . you keep working , okay ? gabi : okay , but this is totally -- okay , i see it . i got it . i totally got it . nick : hey , it 's okay . mommy 's right here . gabi : hey there . hello , munchkin . did you have a good nap ? here , come over here with mommy . hey . yeah , you were a little bit hungry ? yeah , i bet you are . did i get it right ? nick : yeah . yeah , you totally got it right . gabi : you see that ? you see that ? mommy 's got a teacher who thinks that everybody already knows exactly what she 's teaching . good thing is we got nick , who 's a genius and he 's gon na clear everything up , right ? yeah , that 's nick . say hi . hi . daniel : [ laughs ] jennifer : i have missed seeing this face . i have missed seeing these eyes and this nose and these teeth and these ears and these knees and these shoes and your toys and everything . daniel : all right . oh , come on , jenn . pick up . pick up . jj : look , mom , i 'm sorry i called you that name , okay ? jennifer : you should be sorry . jj : i am . i feel awful about it . and honestly , i wish i could take it back , i do . but the rest of it , i 'm not sorry in the least . you lied to me . jennifer : i never lied to you . jj : mom , you told me over and over that you and dr. jonas were done . jennifer : no , that is not what i said to you . i said that we were taking a break . jj : oh , come off of it , please . you played word games and made me believe that it was over . jennifer : you are gon na sit down right now and we are gon na settle this . jj : no , i 'm out of here . jennifer : no , you are not ! because i have stood here and i have listened to every word that you have said . and i am so tired . and we 're gon na sit down and we 're gon na settle this . and the first thing that you 're gon na understand is that i have never lied to you . jj : you know what , mom ? i 've got a final . you want to make me sit here and listen to you while i miss it ? jennifer : no , you need to go to school and then you 're gon na come right back here and we 're gon na finish this conversation . jj : you know what , thank you for today . let 's hope i can focus so i do n't fail . adrienne : hey , guys . sonny : mom . adrienne : oh , hey . listen , i -- look , i - i understand why you did n't invite me to the opening and everything , but i just wanted to stop by and see the place and it is terrific , honey . sonny : thank you . yeah , uh , it 's just that right now is not a good time for -- adrienne : justin , could you please explain to sonny that i - i just came by to see the place and wish him well . justin : well , actually , adrienne , i need to speak to sonny and will alone . adrienne : i should leave ? justin : if you do n't mind . kristen : so , do n't you think sami 's gon na want these pretty soon ? ej : yes , i was just about to leave . why ? is brady coming around for a midday ... snack ? kristen : no . not a bad idea though . actually , i 'm gon na go see a friend and -- ej : keep things under control ? kristen : something like that . you should do the same . and remember , be careful . ej : you too .

sami : heard from trask yet ? has she offered a better deal ? justin : sami , you ca n't expect that . the ball 's in our court . it 's up to us to take it or not . and you should also realize that if trask gets a jury that she thinks will convict , she could just pull the offer . sami : really ? justin : i 'm afraid so . ej : shoes for milady . just in time . sami : thank you . justin : the jury selection starts in ten minutes , you guys . ej : and i brought you some tape so that you can stick these up . sami : thank you . god , you know what i want more than this though ? to not see these walls ever again . adrienne : how could i leave when you 're so obviously upset and worried about something ? sonny : will and i both got subpoenaed to testify against sami . and will 's thinking about clamming up , but that could put him in prison . but then if he testifies and says everything that he knows , that can make sami 's case worse . adrienne : thank god you 're protected . sami : i love that you brought me these pictures . but i just wish i could have them in person , you know ? ej : you will . okay ? hopefully soon . samantha , i 'm not going to let anything bad happen to you . justin : okay , it 's time . will : gabi , why did you think i would be okay with this ? nick fallon is the last person in the world that i want in this house . it does not matter to me who invites him in . gabi : okay , all right . let me -- let me just get -- let me get this straight . not only do you choose when you will or will not take care of arianna , you 're also gon na choose my friends ? i do n't think so , will . will : do you want me to make a list of everything he 's done ? gabi : you know what , he got off parole today . he 's a free man . will : uh -- okay , you know what ? he paid for the crimes that he did back then , right ? but he has not paid for what he 's done to me , okay ? when he blackmailed me and basically tried to steal my daughter . gabi : he said he was sorry ! he said he was sorry , okay ? will : okay , great . he said he was sorry ? that just makes it all better then , right ? and i 'll be fine with him coming in here and holding my daughter -- gabi : well , she is my daughter too . all right ? and you and your boyfriend need to start remembering that . rory : i got ta say , you were right . your mom 's been lying this whole time . jj : yeah . rory : like , since forever . of course , you 've been lying too and your lies are way bigger . jj : oh , you 're a big help , you know that ?

kristen : mm - hmm . daniel : well the judge does n't run things in this hospital , i do . and you , you 're not going anywhere near my patients . so it 's everyday sun exposure brady : she wants -- she wants to `` make things right . `` marlena : god knows what that means . brady : you know , when she was making her little pitch to me , all i could think about was dad , lying in his hospital bed , not able to lift a finger , and it 's because of her . i mean , it 's -- it 's because of her , and me . marlena : brady , what if she left you and she 's going after john ? daniel : just so you know , i 'll be calling the hospital security to issue an order that says you 're never allowed back in that room . and then i 'm gon na call brady . i 'm sure both of us could find some judge who is n't in your father 's pocket . one that -- who will issue us a restraining order , to keep you away from john , permanently . kristen : do you ever shut up ? i just wanted to see him that one time , okay ? but while we 're here , i 'd like to talk to you . is there some place we can go and speak privately ? daniel : you -- you 're joking , right ? kristen : no . we have a few things that need to be ... straightened out . ej : um , i 'll have a , um , coffee . victor : [ laughs ] i see you have n't lost your celebrated knack for making friends . ej : well , i know i do n't have any at that table , victor . victor : oh , i 'm hurt ! i thought our last business transaction was ... downright convivial . ej : mm - hmm . you know this article that william wrote , it 's been troubling me . victor : oh , i 'll bet . that boy is a credit to the fourth estate . his mother must be proud . ej : yes . ran into lucas , earlier . it appears it had been troubling him , too . and he did a little bit of digging . victor : i ca n't imagine what you 're getting at . ej : you own truvista . that article was your doing . sonny : will , i swear to you , all i did was get someone to look at your writing . if it had n't been good enough -- will : zoe browning works for your uncle victor . i could have submitted something that i wrote in the fifth grade , and they would have given me a job . sonny : i was just trying to -- will : help ?

will : none of this would have happened , if you had just minded your own business . sonny : i got you a chance at the magazine , that 's it . i did n't set you up to write that article . that 's on you , pal . your mom , ej , and abigail , they might all have been moving on from this by now , if you had n't been so desperate for attention . sami : you know , i thought about not telling them your name . i really did . but then , i remembered how you took comfort in my arms , and i held you when cried , when you thought you were pregnant with my fiancé 's child . and so , you know what ? i changed my mind . abigail : hm , interesting . making me lose my job , trying to turn ben against me , showing those pictures to my mother ... really , sami ? that was n't enough for you ? sami : no . because of you , my marriage was over before it began . and my children 's lives will be in shreds . so i have to take a little comfort in knowing that you ca n't hide behind your shiny , sorority - girl image , anymore . everyone gets to know what a lying slut you are , including chad . abigail : what ? sami : yeah . oh yeah , i emailed him , um , the link , and i sent him , in express mail , a copy of the article , so he 'd have it in person , to read . so he would know that the second he left town , you just could n't wait to jump his big brother . abigail : you -- you vile , vindictive woman -- sami : oh , put it in a letter and send it to the editor . i have bigger fish to fry . abigail : oh really , do you ?

sonny : this whole thing was a power trip for you , and you enjoyed it . will : a power trip . you think messing up abigail 's life was a turn on for me ? sonny : not abigail 's life ... your mom and ej . that was your turn on . victor : if you think i would waste my time planting naughty articles about you in the press , you 're as bonkers as your lunatic sister . ej : i 'll tell you what , you can skip your games , okay ? 'cause i 'll just go and talk to sonny . he 'll tell me what happened . victor : all i care about with that magazine is that it turns a profit . how they do that , is up to them . ej : mm - hmm , i see . so your editor just happened to hire william , did he ? just happened to assign him a story about samantha and me . victor : why not ? i understand that issue 's flying off the stands . they 've ordered a second printing , and the traffic to the website has tripled . ej : and while you 're counting the dollars , do you have any consideration for what this is doing to my children ? victor : oh , now that 's something you should have thought about when you were doing abigail deveraux . ben : oh , here you go . victor : i changed my mind about the drink . you , uh , should have the ventilation checked in here . i think the room 's getting full of hot air . ben : you can go , too . you 're bad for business . sami : what do you know about wei shin ? abigail : ooh , i know his name pushes your buttons . sami : right . he was mentioned in the article . abigail : yes , he was . it said he is the most influential shareholder on the dimera enterprises board . sami : well good for you . you read the other parts too , not just the parts about you having sex with my fiancé in the shower . abigail : you know , i wonder what mr. shin thinks about you and kate roberts running the company . sami : nice try . but , you are way out of your pay grade , here . mr. shin would n't give you the time of day . unless , of course , you cornered him in the shower .

'cause you are going to go away . kristen : that 's funny , my attorney does n't think so . daniel : he 's got a nice fat retainer to keep telling you what you want to hear . kristen : like , anything that happened between us is just your word against mine ? daniel : yeah , abe told me that you had your boys go over that hotel room . i guess you have a hidden talent , now , for getting rid of forensic evidence ? kristen : i have no idea what you 're talking about . daniel : none ? kristen : mm - mm . daniel : hm . kristen : and anything you think i may have said to you about eric is really just ... your word against mine , it 's inadmissible , it 's hearsay . daniel : yeah , well the d.a . does n't need my testimony to nail you . i mean , there 's plenty of other evidence to ... put you away for a long , long , long time . kristen : well , i guess we 'll see , wo n't we ? daniel : yeah , we will . i -- i know you and your family are used to out- maneuvering the justice system , but ... really , you -- you got sloppy , this time . you hurt too many good people . and they 're gon na see to it that you go away for a long time , and get what 's coming to you . oh , look at that . i am out of time to waste on you . let 's go . kristen : daniel , wait a second . i did n't get a chance to tell you what i wanted to say . daniel : oh , no ? all right , let me guess , let me guess . you hate my guts . but i 'm fine with that . at least maybe you 'll stay out of my way , now . kristen : daniel , i do n't hate you . i wanted to thank you . ( vo ) friday night has always kristen : you 're the first thing i think of when i wake up , and you 're the last thing i think of when i go to sleep . brady : [ groans ] you do n't have to worry about kristen driving me to drink , maggie , because it 's not gon na happen . [ exhales ] kristen : i would n't be here , i would n't be back in salem , if it were n't for you . i would n't have this second chance with brady . daniel : oh , no , no , no . do n't underestimate yourself . just because you could n't force me to trick him into coming to you , that does n't mean you could n't have come up with a whole ' nother scheme to just get the job done , no ? kristen : no , no , no , no , no , i could n't have planned anything this brilliant . daniel : no ? hm . you think you 're gon na get to me ? kristen : i do n't know . daniel : no , you do n't know ? well you 're wrong . you know , actually , i , um , i kinda find you just a little bit boring . kristen : really ? daniel : yeah . kristen : do you ? daniel : little bit . kristen : hm . well , it does n't change the fact that i owe you . i think things are gon na go better than i ever expected . i think they 're gon na work out perfectly . daniel : really ? kristen : really . so , thanks again . daniel : you want to thank me ? do you ? well why do n't you write me a nice little note , on prison stationery , when you get behind bars ? kristen : yeah , well , i hate to disappoint you , dr. dan . daniel : hm . kristen : do n't think it 's gon na happen . maggie : kristen has caused you and eric a world of pain . brady : [ exhales ] maggie : and the stress of her return , it 's got to be a trigger for you , to give in to your disease . but you did n't do it ! brady : i did n't do it . but i got ta go to a meeting . maggie : good , that means you 're taking steps to control what you ca n't control . brady : why ca n't there be a switch in my head that i can just flip off , so i do n't have to think about kristen ever again ? maggie : yeah , well i wish there was , too . brady : i -- i -- i just do n't want to think about her . i do n't want t -- i 'm done with her . i do n't want to -- i do n't want to talk about her . let 's talk about you . how are you ? maggie : me ? me , i 'm fine . brady : i heard about will 's article ... what it 's doing to abigail 's life . you -- you have to be hurting for her . maggie : honestly ? i just -- i do n't know how will could do a thing like that . will : i was trying to get my mother to see what she was doing to abigail . sonny : and it did n't enter your mind that abigail could end up as collateral damage ? will : no . you know that i never meant for her to be named . sonny : `` the young woman in question worked at university hospital . she was a close friend of the family , who frequently spent time with the dimeras and their children . `` truvista is a local magazine . anyone with half a brain could figure out who ej was sleeping with . it did n't -- it did n't occur to you that maybe this would go viral ? that maybe other news sources would -- would put the pieces together ? will : i am a writer , not a reporter . i do n't know that stuff . sonny : you know your mom . you knew she was doing anything to get back at abigail . it did n't cross your mind that she would find a way ... to get her hands on that article ? will : i -- i did n't think -- i did n't think -- sonny : you did n't think . you did n't think . you did n't think , you were just so psyched about putting your mother in her place . you did n't even warn abigail . no heads up , nothing . will : my grandmother is a psychiatrist . i do n't need my glorified barista husband to tell me what i 'm thinking . sonny : okay , okay , okay . will : and i do n't want to be -- i do n't want to be married -- i do n't want to be married to anybody who 's trying to control my life . sonny : are you serious ? you know damn well i do not do that . i do not try to control your life . will : no , you just go to uncle victor , to give poor loser will a job . sonny : you know what , will ? maybe i was just trying to do something nice . will : nice ? sneaking around behind my back because you do n't believe in me enough , to believe that i can get a job on my own ? you see how well that worked out for everybody ? sonny : will , wi -- [ baby crying ] sonny : i 'm coming , honey . daddy 's coming . ben : you 're still here ? ej : look , i know how you feel about me . i just wanted you to know that i 'm very happy that you and ab -- ben : i do n't want to hear how glad you are , that i 'm here for abigail , or how you think she 's a terrific person . in fact , i do n't want to hear a word you have to say about the woman i -- abigail : hm , luckily , mr. shin gave me his direct phone number , so i ... find it ... sami : you 're bluffing . abigail : ah ! he called me , sami . he was very anxious to talk to me . from what he said , it seems like you 've been lying to him . which ... is kind of confusing , because , from your little chat with will 's editor , i would think you would be a full - disclosure type of gal . but , you know , guess i was wrong . hm , oh well . sami : okay , abby . put your phone down , and tell me what you want . they say his magic erasers tackle so many messes , abigail : what i want is for you to back off . you 've had your revenge , sami . you 've had it in spades . i should call mr. shin right now , just for what you have done to my mother , and to chad . sami : okay , you have no idea the games you are playing . people 's lives -- abigail : what , could be ruined ? 'cause you sure as hell did n't mind trying to ruin mine . sami : well do n't you think that 's fair ? i mean , should n't you have thought about your own life when you decided to sleep with someone else 's fiancé ? abigail : i do n't know , sami , i think you can relate . i think that you might understand acting impulsively , and not considering what the consequences might be , before pulling the trigger on something . but let 's be honest , here . my sleeping with ej , that 's over and done with now , is n't it ? you 've -- you 've put everything out in the open , sami . and guess what ? you 've got no more bombs to drop . do n't you ever come and blindside me or my family ever again . do you understand me ? sami : what if mr. shin calls you ? abigail : i wo n't lie for you . but , then again , i also do n't have to answer his calls , unless you give me a reason . sami : he 's a clever man . he might try to find you , send someone . abigail : i 'll answer all of his inquiries with the truth . sami : which truth is that ? abigail : it 's all in my press release . you know what , sami ? you and ej ... i hope you spend the rest of your miserable lives in this sick , twisted house , tearing each other part . it 's exactly what you deserve . will : [ exhales ] thank you for meeting me . marlena : you look terrible . what 's wrong ? will : everything . marlena : hm . sonny : [ grunts ] hey , uncle vic . victor : i got your message . the mountain has come to mohammed . how you doing , cutie ? [ laughs ] huh ? sonny : she 's a little cranky right now . she 's overtired . victor : but very beautiful , nonetheless , hm ? sonny : here , come on in . did you happen to run into will today ? did he read you the riot act ? victor : about your asking me to help him get a job ? you told him , huh ? sonny : i was gon na tell him , but someone beat me to the punch . that 's why i texted you . victor : you once told me that you two never keep secrets from each other . this one was kind of a whopper . sonny : i screwed up . and i was n't the only one . victor : me ? what 'd i do ? sonny : if you 'd have stopped this thing before it started , a lot of people we both care about would n't have gotten hurt . victor : [ exhales ] brady : i have n't talked to abigail in the longest time . i mean , i 've been ... i 've been preoccupied with things , but she 's a serious , smart girl , is n't she ? maggie : yeah , she is . i know that . brady : and for ej to use her like that ? i mean , i -- i think i should go rearrange his face . maggie : oh , no ! oh , oh , oh , oh ... do n't do that , okay ? 'cause that 's not gon na help anybody . okay , have you , um , talked to sami ? brady : sami does n't really confide in me , anymore . maggie : well this has to be humiliating for her . brady : sure . she 's not gon na let anybody see it . she 's gon na walk around town , and try to get even . maggie : maybe you could call her . brady : i did ! well , i mean -- i -- i texted her , and i texted jennifer , and i 've gotten no response . not that i blame them , i mean i ... maybe they do n't want to talk to me . i have n't really been a member of this family for the -- maggie : oh come on , they want to talk to you . they love you . just like i love you . brady : so many people have had my back . now that i have control of my life , i 'm gon na return the favor . kristen : so although it 's been so fun catching up with you , i really have to go . and would you please give my best to jennifer ? daniel : mm . kristen : oh , wait a minute , you ca n't do that because she does n't really want any part of you , anymore . and why is that ? you never told me what happened with you two . daniel : okay , were you leaving ? buh - bye . kristen : may i please just give you a little bit of friendly advice ? stop projecting your anger at your ex - girlfriend onto me . i think you 'll have a much happier , healthier life , honestly , daniel . daniel : okay , okay . go to hell . kristen : okay , well . guess i 'll let you to your little life . and i just have to thank you again for helping me with mine . daniel : [ exhales ] [ groans ] [ exhales ] ej : please tell me that 's not an explosive device . sami : very funny . ej : oh come on , given our last conversation , it is at least within the realms of possibility . sami : ha . ej : you 're sending it to the kids ? sami : yeah . um , johnny was begging for his bears sweatshirt , 'cause it 's cold in the mornings ... ej : oh . sami : and allie wanted to give chocolate chip cookies to all her friends ... ej : ha , right . sami : and sydney 's been a little homesick , so i -- ej : homesick , really ? sami : yeah , i packed her stuffed penguin . you know , it makes everything better . ej : right . so how do you , uh , know all of this ? did you talk to them on the telephone ? sami : no , uh , allie emailed me . she wanted me to know that she was , um , chairman of the camp olympics . ej : chairman of the olympics , my goodness ! what a position of responsibility . sami : [ laughs ] ej : let 's go and see them . we could take the kids out to a nice bite to eat . sami : um ... we do n't want to give them the wrong message , though . ej : okay . okay , well , i will go to bed . sami : and if i want your help with the board ... then you want me to come with you , right ? abigail : hi . ben : hey . i 'm surprised to see you . was n't sure if maybe you were , you know , gon na be running off again , or -- marlena : honey , are you thinking that sonny is responsible for what happened after that story came out ? will : well , if sonny had n't been pulling the strings ... abigail would not be dealing with the fallout from that article . marlena : that 's pretty selective thinking you got going on there . will : what do you mean ? marlena : where 's the part about you taking the job ? where 's the part about , you agreed to write about your mother , and ej ? honey , you have responsibility in this . will : i take responsibility ! s -- sonny said ... sonny said th -- ... marlena : okay , tell me what he said . will : sonny said that i enjoyed writing an article that hurt my mom . how could he think that ? marlena : might there be a little truth to that ? will : no , i love my mom . i wanted to stop her from hurting the other people that i love . marlena : and that 's a good agenda , but maybe the article was n't the best way to do it . will : i have to go . marlena : wait a minute . wait , wait , wait . remember this ... sonny loves you . you love him . do n't forget that . victor : you know , i fully expect what i 'm about to say is gon na blow up in my face , but , here goes ... you came to me and you asked me to pull some strings to get will a job ... without his knowing about it . now , you ca n't complain because you do n't like the way things turned out . sonny : whose idea was it for a story about ej and sami ? victor : mine . sonny : so it is your fault ! if will had n't written that -- victor : someone else would have written it . sonny : then it would be their problem , uncle vic , not will 's and mine . victor : well , i take it will was n't too thrilled with your efforts on his behalf . sonny : `` too thrilled ? `` uh , no . he was furious . he stomped out of here , and i do n't even know where he is . victor : no , will 's a grown man . nobody put a gun to his head and told him what to write . sonny : no , but he knew the editor had expectations . victor : i hear that this piece is gon na bring more assignments his way . that should make him happy . sonny : i know , but i do n't know if he 's gon na take those opportunities , now that he knows he did n't get the job on his own . victor : all we gave him was a chance , and he delivered . and everybody down at the s -- at the magazine thinks he 's a terrific writer . that should mean something to that stubborn husband of yours . sonny : `` stubborn `` is the operative word . are you gettin ' tired , huh ?

susan : i just -- i -- i ca n't believe that that mean , mean , mean kristen ruined the extra - special celebration for dr . marlena evans and mr . john black 's extra - special true love . sonny : well , thanks to you , marlena is alive and can celebrate many more anniversaries . will : that 's true . last time kristen showed up , s was n't so lucky . sonny : the only good thing that came out of that ruined wedding was that you got your memory back . will : yeah , and as thrilled as i am about that , kristen set off a chain of events that devastated too many people in this town . sonny : yeah . hopefully , this time it 'll be different . anna : what do you mean kristen 's not the only one who 's killed people ? you do n't mean you . she did n't make you kill someone , did she ? because you would never do that . you 're not a killer . that 's impossible ! tony : you 're wrong , anna . i took a man 's life . eric : i 'm sorry . sarah : no , it 's all right . i mean , god , to find out that kristen has been masquerading as nicole this whole time , i mean , that 's -- that 's like losing nicole all over again . eric : i know , but victor and maggie did not come to the party . they need to know the truth -- what happened to nicole , holly 's death . sarah : okay . if you need time alone to process this , i can tell her . eric : no . we 're doing this together . first , i want to apologize again . sarah : for what ? eric : for getting emotional about nicole . it just ... it hit me really hard , you know , the idea of her death , the finality . but i never want you to question my feelings for you again , okay ? sarah : you have no reason to apologize , and you have every right to grieve nicole . i just -- i can not believe all the things that kristen did . and with xander 's help . eli : well , well , well . if it is n't the teflon don of salem . xander : it 's within my legal rights to seek as many immunity deals as the d.a . 's willing to allow . and so far , she 's been very willing . lani : how is it that you make everything sound so sleazy ? xander : it 's a gift . you know , instead of shaming me , the police should be thanking me for exposing kristen dimera 's latest reign of terror . eli : hell of a lot sooner would have been nice . xander : well , now you know . and i suggest that you and the lovely detective price get off your bottoms and go and arrest kristen ... because until you do , i wo n't feel safe walking the streets of salem until that bitch is behind bars . lani : actually , we have kristen in custody . she 's right behind that door . eli : care to say hello ? brady : i wan na hear it . i deserve to hear you admit to killing all those people , kristen -- ted , holly , nicole . i wan na hear you say it . kristen : [ laughing ] brady , come on -- you have it all wrong . i did n't kill anybody . brady : stop lying to me ! you 've been impersonating nicole this whole time to get what you want . i know the kind of person you are . i know what you 've been up to . i want you to tell me the damn truth , kristen . kristen : look , i swear to you -- i swear i did n't kill anybody . brady : you tell me why i should believe a word you have to say . why should i believe you ? kristen : because i love you . you are the only person in this world that matters to me , so please just hear me out . i will -- i will tell you everything ... so that you 'll know that i do n't have blood on my hands . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] xander : kristen 's in there ? why is n't she in a cell ? eli : we just brought her in . lani : and she was not happy when hope told her that you ratted her out to d.a . trask . xander : hope said that ? eli : yeah , but you got all that immunity . it 's all good , right ? xander : has kristen confessed ? lani : to loving brady ? yes . to being responsible for a string of deaths ? no . eli : unless you got something you wan na add . wan na go for another immunity deal ? xander : there 's no way kristen can be released , right ? eli : you sound nervous . does n't he sound nervous ? [ light laugh ] i guess i would be too if i flipped on kristen dimera . lani : if you do know anything else , now would be the time to come clean . xander : unfortunately , i , uh , have someplace to be . eli : damn near ran outta here , did n't he ? lani : would n't you if you 'd ticked off kristen dimera ? what kind of ... monster kills a child just to get what she wants ? [ door closes ] sarah : hi , mom . maggie : hi ! i did n't expect to see you tonight . sarah : um ... [ ahem ] . how 's victor doing ? maggie : uh , better , better . it was a good idea to keep him home . so ... how was the big anniversary party ? was it fabulous ? were john and marlena surprised ? sarah : we all were . eric : kristen dimera crashed the party . kristen : i can not bear to have you look at me like i 'm a killer . brady : because you are . kristen : no , brady , i - i saved lives . brady : you are . kristen : no ! i saved lives . i did n't take them . brady : holly and nicole are dead because of you , kristen ! you even shot ted laurent . kristen : no , that was n't me . i did n't shoot ted . it was tony . anna : you . you shot ted laurent ? but i thought you were n't like the rest of your family . tony : i 'm not ! shooting ted was an accident , i swear . but kristen 's using that as leverage over me . anna : okay , so that 's it . so if you left her , she would go to the police and tell them you shot ted on purpose ? tony : no , there 's more to it . she threatened to hurt you if i did n't stay married to her . anna : you mean by hurt -- tony : yes , yes . anna : kill me . tony : yes . anna , as much as i wanted to come back to you , there was only one choice to be made , and that choice was to protect your life at all cost . please tell me you understand that . will : there you go . susan : you know what , will , i need something definitely stronger than h2o ! sonny : uh ... all right . well , one shot comin ' right up . susan : hey ! sonny , can you make me one - a those , um , blue hawaiian , you know , with a little extra creme de le coconut ? sonny : um ... no ? susan : okay , shot 's gon na do fine , thank you . oh , make it -- make it a double . double . sonny : want a dou -- all right . get ya a double . double coming right up . [ susan murmurs ] all right , we can get ya a double -- here we go . susan : thank you . [ gargling ] ohh ! [ smacks lips ] will : susan , i -- i ca n't believe that you -- you chewed through those ropes to escape . do your teeth hurt ? susan : yeah . i mean , it did n't help that -- that mean , mean , mean kate , you know , tried to yank 'em outta my mouth . how did she think i could be kristen being me , i mean ... sonny : that makes sense . susan : what ? sonny : it was obviously kristen who showed up at our door last month . susan : no , no , no , sonny , that was me at the door . will : no , but -- yeah , she showed up first . sonny : yeah . she was like really weird , like even -- will : yeah . sonny : even for -- susan : what ? even for who ? sonny : do you remember she gave xander that lucha libre mask ? susan : a lucha what - cha ? will : uh ... the mexican wrestling mask -- yeah . sonny : and she said that she wanted to replace it with a more , um , feminine one . do you remember that ? i bet you xander took that nicole mask . will : yeah ! so that 's why she had to go around salem pretending to be susan . she went to go get the mask back from xander . sonny : and that 's why there was a gun in her purse . it all makes sense . susan : a gun . a gun . will : a gun , yeah . wow , i - i -- i do n't wan na think about what would have happened if we had n't taken the gun from her that day . eric : so all this time , kristen duped everyone into believing she was nicole . maggie : ha ha . so then i saw kristen in the red dress . i know i 'd been drinking , but i was n't hallucinating . susan : uh ... i am so sorry that we doubted you . maggie : no apologies , sweetie . i was drinking , and i should n't have been . how did kristen pull it off ? and why ? susan : i -- [ sighs ] partly because she wanted to gain control of dimera , and that 's ... why she married tony . maggie : she married her brother ? [ sighs ] anna : you were protecting me ? tony : anna , i fought so hard to recover and to come back to you . there is no way i would have allowed kristen to -- to hurt you . anna : even if you had to stay married to her ? tony : yes . anna : and even ... if i hated you ? tony : ha . yes . oh , anna , your life , whether i share it or not ... is the most precious thing on earth for me . anna : oh , tony ! oh , darling . i only said i was marrying roman just to make you jealous . but you are the only one that i want to be with , ever . and forever . tony : well , ever and forever might have to wait , because they still can accuse me of murdering ted . anna : but it was an accident , and the police should understand that . tony : anna , listen . i was very well aware of kristen 's criminal activity . some may say that i was an accomplice . anna : no , no . now , you -- you were a victim . and ... now that wicked witch is locked away , you 're free and she ca n't hurt you -- or me -- anymore . tony : i hope you 're right , my love . anna : oh , i am . i am . and all we have to do now is go to the police and explain about ted 's death and that you had no choice but to do whatever kristen told you to do . tony : but what if they do n't believe me ? brady : so now you 're trying to pin ted 's murder on your brother ? i mean , from a family that prides itself on loyalty , i think your daddy would be very disappointed in you , kristen . kristen : it 's true . ted showed up at my hotel room to talk to nicole . he was desperate to convince her to turn on me , then things got a little crazy and we argued and ... and tony shot him . brady : tony shot him . well , ted was found dead in his apartment . kristen : well , maybe because i took him to his place to make his death look like a robbery gone bad . brady : to protect tony . kristen : yes , yes , yes ! to protect tony . because he did me a huge favor by marrying me so that i could regain control of dimera from stefan . brady : so you framed stefan for ted 's murder to get him out of the way ? kristen : no , no , that was just dumb luck . brady : [ sarcastic laugh ] dumb luck ? kristen : yes . brady : how so ? kristen : i had no idea that stefan was gon na chase down ted and get caught standing over his body with a gun in his hand . you have to believe me , brady . brady : kristen . kristen : what ? brady : if all of this is true ... then you wo n't mind telling the police , will you ? kristen : i will do anything you ask if it will prove to you that everything i 've done is a way to find my way back to you . tech : at safelite autoglass , tony : you know , i should have gone to the police immediately after i shot ted accidentally . anna : but kristen was blackmailing you . tony : but what -- why would they believe me ? anna : because it 's the truth ! that woman used your love for me to hold you hostage . but in the end ... love won . [ tony chuckles ] and i wo n't -- i wo n't lose you again , tony , not ever . not after thinking you were just ashes . tony : [ laughs ] you are such an angel . you are ... everything that is good , bright , and light . anna : that 's because i have you back again . and tony , we have faced much worse than this . we will survive this too . we just have to tell the truth . tony : you 're right . and with you by my side , i have nothing to fear . so now we will go to the police and convince them that i am nothing like my sister . anna : hmm . tony : yes . susan : how dare kristen impersonate me yet again for her nefarious deeds ! no wonder you two were all kinda strange the day i showed up . sonny : well , we 'd just seen kristen off , and then you showed up like two minutes later . like , you were wearing a completely different outfit . will : yeah , talk about confusing . susan : oh ! like when you two gave me that gun just outta the blue , right ? will : well , i mean , yeah , 'cause we thought it was yours . but actually , it was that -- susan : it was that phony kristen 's ! [ gasps ] oh , and like you and -- and brady , you know , you accused me of -- of throwin ' myself at him when you know that i only have in this love tank of mine room for my roger -- that 's it . sonny : well , that was because before you showed up , kristen threw herself at brady , like practically just stripped his towel off of him . susan : my god . she besmirched my good name ! she did the same to my sister , sister mary moira . oh , that little she - devil ! she made us look like floozies ! [ light music ] kristen : i , uh , took some money ... the diamond necklace , and i put the gun next to ted 's body to make it look like a robbery . and then i left . eli : anything else you 'd like to add ? kristen : no . no , there 's nothing else . i 'm telling the truth . eli : all right . that concludes kristen dimera 's statement on the death of ted laurent . august 26th , 2019 . [ click ] brady : so what now ? lani : we need to get tony 's statement , see if it corroborates with kristen 's . eli : and just so you know , laurent 's death is n't the only crime we 're investigating . there 's also the death of holly walker . brady : can i have some more time with her , please ? eli : sure . [ soft , uneasy music ] kristen : truth and nothing but . now do you believe that i did it all for you ? brady : if that 's true , kristen , if you ever cared about me at all , i 'm gon na need something from you . i need you to look me in the face and admit to me that you killed holly . eric : kristen married her brother , but her ultimate goal was to get to brady . maggie : yeah , but he would never wan na be with her . sarah : yeah , but that 's why she pretended to be nicole and push eric away . maggie : so that 's why she blamed you for holly being killed by the cartel . i mean , that was her excuse for ending things between you . eric : yeah . [ dark chords ] maggie : okay , there 's more , is n't there ? sarah : i - i 'm -- i 'm afraid so . eric : maggie , she did n't act alone . [ door opens ] she had an accomplice . sarah : there he is now . [ tense music ] maggie : you knew nicole was kristen , and you said nothing ! xander : i did n't have much choice . maggie : well , what is so hard about doing the right thing ? sarah : you forget who you 're talking to , mom . xander : i wanted to , i did . but i 've been working with kristen since her science experiment in nashville , and once she gets her hooks in you , she does n't let go . maggie : you pretended to be my friend . xander : i am your friend . maggie : the hell you are ! i told you i saw kristen and ... you made me think i was hallucinating . you let me think that my drinking was part of the problem ! xander : i am so sorry for that . maggie : you know , victor 's right . you do n't deserve to be a part of this family . xander : i made mistakes . i regret them , i -- eric : you regret getting caught . xander : i 'm trying to make good -- i just sang like a bird to the police about kristen . she wo n't get away with what she 's done . sarah : things that she did with your help ! you watched her torture eric and break his heart , and you did nothing ! xander : well , it seemed to work out in your favor , sweetheart -- you could n't pick up the pieces fast enough . eric : you know , i thought you were a piece of trash helping deimos kidnap nicole . but what you did to holly was pure evil . susan : come on ! sonny : all right , all right . susan : i mean , i should -- i shoulda known that i was n't talking to my sister , sister mary moira . `` i 'm elopin ' with the gardener . `` a cruise around the world . my sister is a prude from the get - go . i mean , she gets seasick just takin ' a bath . why did n't i know that that was n't her ? i mean , because i am one thing . i -- maybe not one thing . i may be some things , but i am not -- definitely , definitely , definitely no fool ! sonny : well , kristen fooled all of us ... okay ? with the help of xander . which explains the payments that she was making to xander from that nashville account . will : yeah . if only we had figured that out sooner . we could have stopped kristen from terrorizing salem again . sonny : who knows ? maybe even ted laurent would still be alive . lani : here 's the transcript of kristen 's statement . eli : what do you make of it ? lani : it 's hard to know . her statement incriminates tony , the brother who helped her , and then it clears stefan . but why would she do that after trying so hard to steal his company and to destroy him ? eli : love . lani : what do you mean ? eli : kristen loves brady , and she 'd damn near do anything to prove that to him . maybe even tell the truth . kristen : if i ever cared about you ? how can you even doubt that you 're my world ? everything i 've done is for you . brady : everything you 've done -- are you proud ? you proud of everything that you 've done ? kristen : do you remember nashville ? brady : of course . kristen : you wanted me then . you loved me -- i know you did . brady : nashville -- this is what nashville was about . i slept with you so i could find out where nicole was , kristen . that 's it . kristen : i love you , and i know you love me -- kristen -- kristen ! we had great sex -- that 's it ! do you understand me ? it 's not love . it is not love . kristen : you can tell yourself whatever you want . but i know when you made love to nicole ... deep down , you knew it was me , did n't you ? did n't you ? [ eerie descending notes ] ah , it ended to soon . eli : let 's go find tony dimera , see if we can have a little chat with him . tony : no need to find me . i 'm right here . lani : we need to talk to you about the death of ted laurent . tony : well , that 's what i 'm here to discuss . eli : your sister said that you killed him . tony : she said that ? lani : did you shoot ted laurent ? tony : unfortunately ... yes , i did . but i 'm quite sure that my sister must have told you that it was an accident . lani : she left that part out . eli : we also need to ask you about why you 've been aiding and abetting your sister all this time . anna : tony has n't been aiding and abetting her . he 's her victim . kristen has been using him for weeks . tony : it 's all right , darling . anna : no , it 's not all right , darling . tony is a hero . the only reason he did n't tell anyone what that evil woman was up to is because she threatened to kill me if he did . susan : [ slurping ] i just hope for once the police figure out a way to put kristen in jail for good and for keeps . 'cause that woman ... ha ! she is a terror ! [ light music ] here . gim me another one . will : mm - mm . i think you had enough . susan : what ? brady : i slept with nicole . my feelings were for nicole . if i had known you were behind some mask , i never would have touched you , kristen . kristen : yeah , but you did touch me . a lot . and you know every curve on this body . my body . not nicole 's . and that mask ... it may have let you believe what you needed to believe to make you feel safe , but deep down ... you knew that we have too much power . brady : no . you 're wrong . you 're wrong . you 're wrong . kristen : no , brady . [ laughing ] oh , i 'm not wrong ! just admit it ! i mean , you admitted it to nicole . come on , you still had feelings for me . you felt it , you felt my love , you felt me every time you touched that scar of the phoenix , every time , brady . you may have been making love to nicole , but you were there wanting me . i know that you were , deep down , deep down , right now , brady . you still do . eric : i do n't care what kristen did to me , but i 'll never forgive you and kristen for holly . i mean , you were the one who kidnapped her from her bed , were n't you ? maggie : oh , my god . kristen and xander kidnapped holly ? and killed her ? eric : and then they hung the blame on the cartel . maggie : you 're a monster ! eric : if you think you 're getting immunity for taking the life of that sweet little girl , you 're dead wrong . because if the police wo n't prosecute you , i 'm gon na make you pay . xander : you 've got this all wrong -- i loved holly when she lived with me and nicole in nashville . i 'd make up these silly little games and make her laugh every time . sarah : you made her laugh , and you drove her off a cliff ?

kristen : so you probably know brady better than anybody , right ? you know how hurt he was , and you know how he values honesty and truth , right ? daniel : right . kristen : okay , so when we decided to try again , i became so terrified that he was gon na change his mind . and i was terrified that people were gon na convince him that i was playing games . and honestly , i would rather die than lose brady again . daniel : okay , you love him . you do n't want to lose him . that does n't really involve a secret . kristen : what you do n't understand is that brady is my salvation . he 's the only person that sees any good in me at all . the only one that thinks i 'm capable of love . i mean , except for jennifer . i 'm totally rambling here . hold on a second . daniel : mm - hmm . kristen : okay , this is what happened . i began to doubt . i started questioning if brady and i really could have any kind of a future together , and things got so black for me that i even thought about breaking it off . daniel : yeah , been there , doing that . kristen : right , so i told jennifer that , and she talked me down . and then i started thinking , well , you know what ? maybe things are n't so bad for brady and me . i mean , maybe we -- we could make a go of it . so i - i called jennifer , and i told her that , but i also swore her to secrecy because i did n't want anybody , including you , to know about what almost happened . do you understand that ? brady : you know , you and i do n't always see eye to eye . jennifer : [ laughs ] brady : usually because i 'm wrong . jennifer : well , yeah . brady : oh , well , sometimes . all right , whatever . it d -- you 're special to me . you 're a good friend . jennifer : yeah . you 're my friend too . thanks . brady : so , friend ... jennifer : mm - hmm . brady : i feel comfortable saying something to you , and i hope it does n't cross a line . jennifer : okay . brady : you need to give it another shot with daniel . okay ? you need to start over again . i 'm doing it with kristen , and it 's working out fine . we 're -- we 're building a foundation again on trust and on honesty . and i th -- why are you looking at me like that ? what 's wrong ? jennifer : [ exhales ] kristen : i am so sorry , because i made such a huge deal about jennifer not telling anybody that when i overheard you say that you were n't gon na keep it a secret , it just totally freaked me out . [ laughs ] you do n't have to believe me . call jennifer . she 'll tell you . eric : nicole , i am happy . nicole : yeah , i , um , i think you really are . eric : right now , i am , uh ... [ exhales ] i 'm really tired . and , uh , you know what ? but god , he 's gon na show me the way . and you know what ? i 'm gon na follow his path . and his will , not eric brady 's will , be done . i know this has been , you know , very difficult times for me . i mean , you know more than anyone else that it was a very difficult decision when i decided to become a priest . but , you know , i still have feelings . i still have ... terrible doubts . gabi : there . you see ? that 's how it is . that 's how it 's gon na be , because whatever i say , whatever i do , it always comes back to you two , and i 'm the odd man out . sonny : gabi ... will : you 're not . sonny : we do n't want you to feel that way , honestly . gabi : well , that 's how it is , sonny , because you two have each other . will : you have us too . and we all have arianna . gabi : yeah , except when it 's you two against me . sonny : no , we 're not against you . we 're not against you . gabi : oh , my gosh , you do n't get it . you do n't understand . i was married to nick . everything was planned out . my life completely changed , all right ? i thought i was gon na have what you guys have . will : yeah , it changed 'cause nick went crazy . i do n't see how you do n't see that . gabi : thank you , will . thank you for reminding me about how my life fell apart . all right ? you know , for one second , just for one second , try to imagine what my life is like , how my future was yanked out from under me . will : [ sighs ] daniel : [ sighs ] the only thing i care about is not seeing brady get hurt again . kristen : i know . i do n't want him to get hurt either . i just have to stop questioning every little thing , you know ? daniel : yeah . kristen : 'cause i do n't want our doubts to -- my doubts to screw things up again . daniel : yeah . kristen : and so i just have to be positive . daniel : yeah ? is that how it 's done ? kristen : [ laughs ] yeah . daniel : okay , look , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to get so intense there . it 's just that jennifer and i , we -- kristen : oh , it 's okay . did something happen with the photo shoot ? i came by 'cause i thought maybe i would take her to lunch , and -- daniel : well , no , yeah , photshoot 's done . she 's -- she 's gone . kristen : oh . daniel : yeah . kristen : i probably should n't say this , but i was kind of hoping that if you guys were working together , then maybe one thing would lead to another , you know . [ laughs ] oh , sorry . daniel : no , it 's -- i think -- i really think you should go . thank you . [ groans ] kristen : okay . daniel : [ exhales ] kristen : what 's this ? brady : jenn , what is it ? jennifer : no , it -- brady , it 's just because daniel and i are having so many problems that i really want this to work for you . and kristen . brady : uh -- it 's going to . it 's -- it will . jennifer : good . so everything 's good . brady : yeah . no , it -- actually , it 's -- it 's great . i think because of what happened last time , we 're more careful now , and it 's better . i think we 're actually closer than ever as a result of it . jennifer : that 's great , because a while ago , you know , you were afraid that maybe kristen was hiding something from you . that 's all . brady : why would you bring that up ? jenn ... kristen considers you a very good friend . did she say something to you ? kristen : this is so awesome . it 's official . daniel : [ laughs ] yeah . yeah , see right there ? father is , you know , daniel jonas . there was a screw - up , and then chloe had to get the name changed from philip to mine . but now it 's -- yeah , it 's official . it 's all good . it 's , uh -- kristen : you 're so lucky . you get to raise your little boy . daniel : yeah . kristen i bet jennifer 's thrilled , huh ? daniel : yeah , well , you know , it was just delivered today , and i thought the first person to see it would be jennifer , but she 's ... kristen : oh . daniel : you know , gone , and i 'm not sure , you know , when i 'll see her . we just sort of blew up , and ... kristen : yeah . daniel : it 's all over at the moment , but , i mean -- kristen : well , you know , whatever it 's worth , you know , i 'm on team daniel and jennifer . i really like you guys together . i think you belong together . daniel : thank you . thanks , thanks . eric : of course , i did go through with my vows and became a priest . nicole : right . eric : and you , you know more than anyone . you know that i was haunted for a very long time because of what happened in the congo . nicole : yeah , i remember . i remember . eric : and i stood there ... silent ... while father ryan just -- well , he died in front of me . nicole : eric , it was n't -- eric : my -- nicole : it was n't your fault . eric : yes , but my point is , is that you helped me through this . you helped me see that this was part of god 's plan for me . i will always feel a special bond with you . nicole : yeah , me too . eric : i 'm glad that we 're good friends . nicole : [ laughs softly ] eric : and i 'm really glad that you stayed on and worked with the church , even when you had your doubts . but i know that it was a part of god 's plan for you too . jennifer : no , brady , listen all i 'm trying to say is i want you and kristen to be together and happy , and i know she wants that too . brady : right . yeah , that 's -- [ cell phone rings ] brady : that 's why it 's gon na work . we 're taking -- we 're taking baby steps this time . jennifer : good . brady : excuse me . jennifer : oh . brady : uh , china , china . i got ta -- i got ta take this . jennifer : china ? brady : yeah , little business deal , so will you excuse me ? jennifer : yeah . brady : [ speaking mandarin ] [ knock at door ] [ light knock at door ] kristen : are you all right ? daniel : did you have fun over at billy 's place ? maggie : well , apparently he did . i met him and joanna at the park . we had a terrific time on the swings , but parker said he wanted to come here and get his train engine . daniel : oh , he did ? maggie : so here we are . daniel : all right . maggie : and then we 're gone . daniel : oh , well , no rush at all , no . maggie : oh . daniel : none . maggie : okay , well , i guess the photo shoot , then , is over . was jennifer -- daniel : [ grunts ] maggie : okay , fine . you know what ? you can talk about it when , uh , when you 're ready . daniel : right , yeah . maggie : right . daniel : um , but for now , i 've got something to show you . and you too . and you know what that does to me ? you know what ? makes me very , very happy . yes , happy . maggie : [ laughs ] tickle , tickle , tickle , tickle ! parker : [ giggling ] maggie : [ laughs ] sonny : will , i understand why you were upset when you came home and saw nick holding your daughter . will : yeah . i did n't say anything to nick , unfortunately . i just ... attacked gabi after he left . sonny : yeah , but then i walked in at the wrong time and made things worse . will : no , you did n't . good for him , you know . he 's on parole . good for him , trying to turn his life around , but i -- sonny : you just do n't trust him . will : no . i never will . sonny : i do n't know if you want to hear this , but , um , i think we 're gon na have to bend a little for gabi . you know , she did make some good points . will : i know . you -- you 're -- you 're incredible . sonny : what ? will : i do n't -- i do n't -- how -- how are you so understanding about this ? i mean , you got a -- a place for all of us to live in , and you -- i mean , you do a third of the work when it comes to arianna , and you 're -- sonny : it 's not work . i -- well , i mean , it is work , but i 'm doing what i want to do . i 'm living with the guy that i love , and i 'm living with his daughter . will : well , i love you too , but , uh ... i do n't know , i -- sometimes i just wonder how long this can work out . sonny : are you -- are you talking about us ? nick : hey . gabi : hi . nick : i thought you were finished with calculus . gabi : um , yeah , i am . this is just extra credit . i really need it because i spent a lot of time away from class when arianna was born . nick : do you want to show me ? gabi : uh , i 'm already halfway through . nick : let 's see . uh , you 're not actually halfway through . you 're -- you 're almost done . gabi : i am ? nick : yeah . try reducing the right side first . gabi : [ sighs ] yeah . yeah , that was it . oh , my gosh , why am i so stupid ? nick : you 're not . you 're -- you 're just upset . or something . gabi : just not enough sleep . nick : are you sure it 's not me ? gabi : what ? nick : i do n't know . we spent a lot of time earlier talking about arianna and your calculus and -- and your history lecture , and we did n't even really address what happened last night . i just hope you do n't ... regret it . daniel : all right , now look at this right here . you see that right there ? it says `` father ... daniel ... jonas . `` parker : that 's me . daniel : yes , and that 's me . all right ? and you know what we can do later on ? why do n't we skype melanie ? maggie : ah ! daniel : and you can smile for her that big smile while you still got teeth , and we 'll show her this , uh , this paper right here . okay ? now , we got a train problem , right ? we need to get that train fixed ? where -- you know where i think it is ? parker : no . daniel : i think it 's in my room . why do n't you choo - choo your little heinie -- parker : no , it 's not . daniel : i think it is . parker : no . daniel : check it out . try . ready , set , go ! check it out . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] look at that . i mean , i do n't know why it seems so important to me . it 's just -- i guess that , uh , i mean , even though i do n't expect chloe to give me a hard time anymore , i now know . and parker can never be taken away from me . maggie : oh . you know , i - i always have dreamt that you and jennifer would raise him together . but -- [ clears throat ] well , i just want you to know how i feel . daniel : i do n't think you could hide how you feel . [ chuckles ] come here . maggie : i 'm so happy for you . daniel : thank you . maggie : [ sighs ] jennifer : why were you at daniel 's ? kristen : because i thought i 'd go by and take you to lunch and celebrate how wonderful life is now that you and daniel are back together again . but no , instead i found him alone , in a really bad mood , with a broken door . jennifer : we had a fight . kristen : seriously ? did you break that door down ? jennifer : no , jj broke the door when he stormed out of daniel 's apartment . kristen : what the hell was jj doing there ? jennifer : jj was looking for me , and when he walked into the apartment , he saw us kissing . kristen : oh ! that 's good . jennifer : no , that 's bad . he lost it . he -- he blew up . it was horrible . kristen : well , daniel did n't say much , but i could tell it was pretty bad for him too . and he puts on this nice , brave front , right ? he is one heartbroken mess of a man . nicole : hey , um ... i 'm sorry . eric : for what ? nicole : that i ever doubted you made the right choice ... father . kristen : i know you do n't want to hear it . jj needs to man up . jennifer : kristen , he 's not a man . kristen : he 's old enough to accept the fact that his mother is in love , and she deserves to be happy . thank you very much . jennifer : oh , kristen . kristen : you need to get your fanny over to daniel 's and make this right . jennifer : no , you do n't understand how complicated this is . kristen : he got some great news today . jennifer : what ? kristen : i 'm not telling you . you 're not gon na hear it from me . you better go over to daniel 's . jennifer : i am not going over there , kristen . kristen : please stop ! your life is in your hands . do n't blow this chance . do n't be a stupid idiot like i was , jenn . brady is the best thing that 's ever happened to me in my entire life , and i sincerely want you and daniel to be as happy as i know brady and i are going to be . nicole : there is no `` later `` . you real -- you need to get some sleep . you are totally wiped . eric : i am . and i will . i 'm just sending a text to lizbeth 's sister . i 'm just wanting to let her know that i 'm back at the rectory if she needs me . nicole : [ clears throat ] eric : okay . fine . nicole : thank you . now , i will wake you if she calls , okay ? please just go . get some rest , go . eric : right . nicole : good - bye . will : no ! no , no , no , no . no , i 'm not talking about us . i 'm talking about gabi 's cra -- i mean , this weird setup with -- we got with gabi , you know ? although i guess it kind of does come down to us , because it 's a lot to ask . sonny : ask what ? will : you know , for you to keep raising our -- i mean , um , raising my daughter , you know , even part - time . sonny : you did n't ask . i was the one who said i wanted to do it , and even if you would have said no , i would have insisted . will : well , i do n't believe you . sonny : i 'm serious . i am willing to do whatever it takes to make this work . but you and i both have to understand that this is not gon na be easy for gabi . will : yeah , i -- okay , i guess not . i just hope that with nick , i mean , she opens her eyes . gabi : nick , it probably should n't have happened . but it did . so there 's , um , there 's no reason we should regret it . nick : i always -- i thought being with you was like -- was like reaching for nirvana . you know ? and afterwards , when we were just resting , it was like -- i do n't know , like i took -- like i took a potion or something . it was like time moved slow , and your body would be pressed against me , and ... it was like we were weightless . it was like a -- like a dream . gabi : i have to get to class . nick : yeah . gabi : i 'll see you . nick : yeah . good luck . kristen : wait a minute . where are you going ? stop . will you at least try ? jennifer : yeah , i 'll call him . kristen : oh , good . look , here 's your phone . do it now . please . i will let myself out . jennifer : kristen -- kristen : woo , woo , woo . jennifer : okay . all right , thank you . good - bye . kristen : good - bye . good luck . [ gasps ] brady : boo . daniel : wow , you know how to type ? nicole : hi . daniel : hey . nicole : how are you doing ? daniel : um , i 'm not , uh -- ugh . hey , listen , is father eric around ? nicole : he was , uh , he was up with a patient all night . he just went to bed a little while ago . with any luck , he is sleeping like an angel . eric : [ gasps ] | will and gabi argued about the things that nick has done . daniel wanted kristen to tell him what she 's hiding . kristen wanted to get out of daniel 's apartment . gabi , will , and sonny started to argue about their arrangement with arianna . daniel told kristen that she could leave , but he was calling brady . kristen stopped daniel from making the call . gabi and will continued to argue about nick seeing arianna . daniel threatened to call brady again if kristen did n't tell him the truth . kristen agreed to tell daniel the truth . kristen explained to daniel that she was afraid she would lose brady . brady went to see jennifer and they talked about daniel . |
jj : hey , thanks for making the time to see me . hope : oh , honey , are you kidding ? i 'm always so happy to see you . what 's going on ? is it abigail ? jj : oh , no , no . but she is doing better . it 's actually about me , and it 's nothing bad . i got a letter that my juvenile record was expunged . hope : oh , my god , not bad ? are you kidding me ? that 's fantastic . jj : i know . i totally was n't expecting it . aiden had to pull a lot of strings to make it happen . hope : and you 're here because ... jj : well , i wanted to get him something to thank him . and i do n't have a lot of cash , and i was hoping that you could tell me what he 's into . hope : i 'm afraid you 're going to have to ask someone else . jj : whoa , just the look on your face . do you , like , hate the guy ? aiden : [ sighs ] [ romantic orchestral music ] hey . here you go . put that away . it 's on me . aiden : that 's not necessary . i 'll throw that in too . aiden : is this your phone number ? i just ca n't picture abigail deveraux and ej dimera . she always seemed so ... theresa : sweet and innocent ? listen , if she could screw over my evil cousin sami , she 's even more manipulative ... jennifer : than you ? not possible . theresa : oh , jen , jen , i was just looking for you . jennifer : oh , i ca n't wait to hear why . theresa : well , anne 's out of the office today , and i 'm in charge of finding your replacement temp . jennifer : i need to get to my office . theresa : hey , wait , before you go , i just want to make sure that we 're , you know , clear on your criteria . you need somebody who 's reliable , of good moral character , and ... [ clicks tongue ] oh , yeah , somebody who wo n't be forced to resign in disgrace . gosh , your daughter really shocked all of us , did n't she ? eve : did you see this ? paige : poor abigail . eve : poor abigail ? i mean , i know sami brady 's no saint , but i think she 's kind of the victim here , do n't you ? paige : did you read the whole article ? you 're just saying that because you 're mad at jennifer . eve : [ scoffs ] sweetie , you 're completely missing the point here . this is so not about me . you know , it is a perfect example , though . paige : of what ? eve : well , of how screwed up the whole horton - deveraux clan is . paige : mom ... eve : they 're trouble , sweetheart , trouble that you do n't need . abigail : hey . hi , did n't you close last night ? i did n't expect i would see you here today . ben : yeah , i 'm picking up some keys for the storage room so we can move some stuff , if i can find them . be back in a second , though , okay ? abigail : okay . jordan : abigail , hey . you had an interview today , right ? how 'd it go ? abigail : actually , it did n't . i 'm pretty sure someone in hr got ahold of will 's article and decided that i was n't right for the company . jordan : i 'm sorry . abigail : it 's okay . i 'm actually really excited about this new marketing position that just opened up at the sports complex in west salem . jordan : oh , i love that place . rafe actually has a friend that works there . maybe -- kate : rafe , hey . rafe : hey . kate : hey , will told me that you were visiting gabi in prison yesterday . how 's she doing ? rafe : yeah , she 's hanging in . kate : i 'm glad to hear that . so how are you doing ? clyde : hey , good morning , detective . ms. roberts . kate : you two know each other ? paige : oh , come on , mom . jj and abigail 's family is no more messed up than ours is . eve : hey . paige : or anyone else 's . i know you 're upset that i deferred stanford , but ... eve : no , no , this is n't about stanford . do i wish that you had gone ? yes . there 's nothing that i can do about it now . i just -- i just do n't want you to look back and discover that you 've just made the wrong choice . paige : meaning staying here -- eve : and getting hurt by jj deveraux is exactly what i mean . i mean , if his sister , the `` golden child , `` can behave like that , imagine what you 're gon na expect from a little ex - con . paige : do n't call him that ! eve : oh , sweetheart , i just want you to be careful . paige : [ scoffs ] how many times do i have to say it ? jj really is a good person . he 's kind and thoughtful , and he 's totally turned his life around . i do n't need to be careful around him . eve : how deep are your feelings for this boy , huh ? are you in love with him ? hope : [ sighs ] of course i do n't hate aiden . i mean , why would i ? in fact , you know what ? i like him . i do . he 's a -- he 's a great guy . i just do n't know him well enough to know exactly what he 's into , i mean , to help you pick out a gift for him . jj : oh , how is that possible ? i know it 's a little forward , but you come in here every morning . we joke . you 're the highlight of my work day , and i do n't even know your name . aiden : it 's aiden . aiden . aiden : yeah . i could n't help noticing you 're not wearing your ring . aiden : no , um ... no , i 'm not . and this is very flattering , but i do n't date . never ? aiden : never . thanks for the coffee . [ sighs ] theresa : you know , i did n't think that abigail had it in her , but you know what they say about still waters . jennifer : what do they say about still waters , theresa ? theresa : well , it 's just that she always seems so demure , practically virginal , but to snag a man like ej , well , she just must be some kind of hellcat in bed . hey , does she get that from you ? is that what doctor dan saw in you ? because i ca n't imagine what else it could be . jennifer : and i ca n't imagine how you sleep at night knowing that all you do every day , all day , is cast a pall on the lives of other people who are unlucky enough to cross your path . i mean , truly , what a sad commentary on the state of your life that you find satisfaction in gloating over other people 's problems , spreading bitterness and gloom . it is tragic , actually , with all the gifts that you have been given -- beauty , brains , opportunities , people who care about you -- that you have trashed your life . clyde : uh , no , i do n't know ms . roberts , but i have seen her picture in the business section of the spectator . i mean , who could forget a face like that , right ? though , i must say , ms . roberts , that picture hardly does you justice . rafe : [ chuckles ] kate : it 's so nice to meet you , mr. -- clyde : clyde weston . you might know my stepdaughter , jordan ridgeway , or my son , ben rodgers . kate : oh , of course . lovely , lovely children . clyde : thank you . i hope i 'm not interrupting anything . rafe : what ? no , not at all . clyde : i just wanted to tell you , rafe , how sorry i was to hear about you and jordan . she 's pretty shook up about it . rafe : yeah , yeah . that makes two of us . clyde : oh . really ? if the two of you are so sad about it , you mind my asking what happened to split you up ? abigail : so i 'm guessing you did n't take my advice and talk to rafe , did you ? jordan : [ sighs ] no . abigail : but , jordan , you have to know that kate did n't mean anything to him . jordan : there 's part of me that believes that you 're right , but not that it matters . he made a choice that night , and now we both have to live with it . eve : you know , sweetheart , i thought i was in love when i was your age too . paige : with frankie , and you wound up marrying him . both : mm - hmm . eve : and we both know how that turned out , right ? paige : i 'm not you , mom . eve : i know you 're not . my gosh , you have so much more promise than i ever did . that 's why i ca n't just sit back and watch you throw away your plans , all your dreams , your life -- paige : i 'm not doing that , and i really ca n't have this conversation with you again . gon na go down to the moving van and finish getting all of our stuff . eve : you know , it 's crazy timing , huh ? i mean , very interesting that cousin john got that job offer in chicago and allowed us to stay in this old dump . paige : it 's not a dump , mom . eve : well , it 's not the taj mahal either , but it 's temporary . we 'll start looking for a nicer place soon . paige : i 'll go get some boxes . eve : sweetheart , you do n't have to do that , you know , alone . we can hire someone . paige : i 'm fine . eve : really ? your book box from your old bedroom weighs at least 80 pounds . oh , you -- you asked jj to help you , did n't you ? paige : yes , mom , i did . eve : oh , man . damn that boy . jj : you and aiden were working together forever on that auction for st. luke 's . how can you not know anything about the guy ? hope : all business . aiden : jj . do i want to know what you 're doing in a police station ? jj : well , actually , i was talking to my cousin hope about how grateful i am to you for getting my juvie record expunged . aiden : oh , yeah , well , you know , just doing my job . jj : well , you know , it meant a lot to me , so ... you know what ? i 'm glad i got to thank you in person , but ... i 'll see you later . aiden : okay , all righty . take care . jj : all right , you too . bye . hope : bye , jj . aiden : so i 'm here to depose officer post about an arrest made in the richards case . hope : sorry , she 's unavailable . aiden : in other words , i have to reschedule . hope : yeah , i 'm afraid so . aiden : great . who do i have to talk to about that ? hope : that would be me . theresa : do you really expect people to stop talking about what your daughter did anytime soon ? jennifer : i do n't know , anybody gon na stop talking about you and brady anytime soon ? theresa : what about us ? jennifer : how you used his addiction and got him to go to las vegas and then you got him drunk and coerced him into marrying you ? theresa : that 's not ... jennifer : not what happened ? that is what happened . everybody knows . you used his illness to get what you wanted , and if you had n't gotten him so drunk and so high out of his mind , he never would 've fought with his father . theresa : you were n't there . jennifer : i did n't need to be there . as far as i 'm concerned , what happened to john is not brady 's fault . it 's yours . ( vo ) if you have type 2 diabetes , theresa : [ sighs ] it 's my fault your daughter 's name is being dragged through the mud . it 's my fault that you and daniel broke up . it 's my fault john black 's in a coma . huh , what is n't my fault ? jennifer : you know , what happened to john is a tragedy to everyone involved , and just because you are n't the one who hit him over the head with that poker , we both know that you bear plenty of responsibility for what happened . so you need to worry about yourself , theresa , because abigail is gon na be fine . but you ? let 's just say i have my doubts , and it looks to me like you have the same doubts . eve : hey . is everything okay ? theresa : [ sighs ] eve : theresa , what did she just say to you ? rafe : so jordan did n't tell you why we broke up ? clyde : no . she 's a pretty private person , as i 'm sure you know . rafe : yeah , yeah . clyde : all i know is , she 's not the same happy girl she was a couple of weeks ago . what it 's worth , i hope the two of you find a way to work things out . rafe : well , you and me both . yeah . clyde : well ... oh . now that i 've had the pleasure , i hope i get the opportunity to talk to you about acclimating in salem , given your ties to the business community . rafe : well , why do n't you two talk now ?

[ chuckles ] clyde : you have had your skivvies in such a bunch about anyone seeing the two of us together , i thought i would just jump in there and introduce myself . that way , if anyone should see us in the future , they would n't suspect a thing . kate : oh , brilliant . clyde : and personally , ms . roberts , i 'm rather fond of the idea of being seen with you in public . you are an extraordinary woman . aiden : [ sighs ] well , what is wrong with the first ? hope : it 's not gon na work . it 's labor day . aiden : yeah , that 's right . it is labor day , and i 'll be laboring away at my office . hope : oh , i 'm so sorry to hear that , but it 's officer post 's first weekend off in a month . aiden : okay , you realize i need to get this done before i go to court and there 's a trial . hope : look , i 'm doing the best i can here . aiden : really ? hope : officer post has been on an extended undercover assignment . aiden : all right , well , how about when she 's off duty ? hope : she 's a single mother with two kids , pulling double -- okay , i tell you what . i will talk to her and see what i can do , all right ? aiden : all right , well , i wo n't hold my breath . hope : what ? really ? aiden : no , i 'm sorry . the hope brady that i first met at st. luke 's -- well , i think she is back . hope : and what is that supposed to mean , mr. jennings ? aiden : oh , you know exactly what it means . everything is an argument with you . hope : oh , so now you 're making this personal . aiden : it is personal . why does it have to be like this ? hope : like what ? aiden : like this ! like we 're always yelling at each other . [ knock at door ] eve : i hope this is n't a bad time . i hate to interrupt your hard day at work , but apparently there was a snafu with the publisher , and my check was sent to you by mistake . jennifer : right , and i was going to put it in the mail . eve : jennifer , i am here now . jennifer : well , the check is at home . eve : well , go get it . jennifer : i 'm working . i 'm not going anywhere . eve : since when ? jennifer : excuse me . eve : no , excuse me . this is totally unacceptable . jj : you know , i did n't mean to upset you . paige : no , you did n't . he was n't another guy , jj . it 's my dad . i never talk about him because it makes my mom go ballistic . [ sighs ] jj : well , i wo n't go ballistic . but you do n't have to talk about it if you do n't want to . paige : there 's not much to say . one day , he and my mom got in a fight , and he walked out the door and never came back . jj : paige , i 'm really sorry . paige : [ sighs ] he sent postcards every now and then , but they eventually stopped . then my mom just stopped mentioning him . [ sighs ] my mom drives me nuts sometimes , but i understand why she acts the way she does with men , with me . she just never got over him leaving . jj : yeah , and neither have you . paige : mm - mm . but you know how that feels , huh ? kate : clyde , i really do appreciate your kind words , but if you think you 're going to use me to -- clyde : use you ? no , i would n't think of it . i do think of us as partners in all this , though . you know , dancing with the one who brung you , right ? i mean , you are the reason i 'm here , kate . kate : well , yes . clyde : and i do consider myself very lucky not only to be reunited with my kids , but i 've never met anyone like you . such a beauty with a zest for life and , the same time , a real barracuda when it comes to business . [ both chuckle ] kate : is that a compliment ? clyde : oh , definitely . i have really enjoyed the time that we 've spent together . kate : well , my part of being a barracuda means that i 'm very busy , so ... clyde : oh , i 'm getting carried away here , are n't i ? i 'm sorry . i have a habit of saying what 's on my mind . that 's what people do where i 'm from . kate : hmm , well , that 's charming . clyde : well , it can be , but i know it can also turn some people off here in salem , and i would n't want to do that . kate : all 's well that ends well . if you excuse me ... clyde : well , it has n't ended yet , though . i mean , before you run off to make mr. dimera another million or two , do n't you have some valuable information for me ? jordan : rafe , please wait . hope : i am not the one who 's yelling . aiden : well , you are now . hope : [ sighs ] as soon as officer post -- aiden : do n't call you . you 'll call me . sure .

[ scoffs ] nicole has never been a threat to me . she -- i have no reason to hurt her . brady : and holly ? kristen : come on , you know better than anyone how i feel about children . i wanted nothing more than for nicole to be with her daughter . i mean , i risked my neck pulling her out of that fire , so i should have something to show for it . brady : so something reasonable like -- like stealing nicole 's identity , right ? kristen : i needed to come back to salem . back to you . but i could n't do that as myself , and lucky for me , i had access to all of rolf 's mask technology . but unfortunately , the mask was n't enough , so i needed someone to -- to , uh , you know , teach me . to show me how to be nicole . brady : her baby for her life . you expect me to believe that nicole did all this willingly ? kristen : well , i mean , maybe she was in a -- tied to a chair or something , but she did know a good deal when she heard one . i made all necessary arrangements for her to be with her daughter , and i made sure that , uh , no one would come looking for her or holly . brady : by convincing everyone out there that they were dead . right ? kristen : it is . the truth and nothing but . brady : okay , question . kristen : mm - hmm ? brady : why should i believe a single word that you 're saying ? [ phone beeps ] will : she 's not answering . sonny : well , maybe we 're just , you know , overreacting . i mean , she is running dimera , okay ? she could just be working late . will : i mean , being a ceo is a full - time job , obviously , but when you were a ceo , if i called you and you knew it could be about ari , you answered . sonny : you 're right , and so would gabi . you know , but maybe she does n't have her phone . 'cause when i saw nicole earlier , gabi had left her phone at the dimera mansion . i just -- i just figured she went back to get it . will : wait , hold -- hold on . the last person who saw gabi was nicole . sonny : it was kristen dimera . gabi : please tell me you 're not reading into this . into what we just did . stefan : i do n't think there 's much reading that needs to be done . gabi : stefan , come on . it 's not like we have n't had hate sex before . stefan : that 's what you thought it was ? hate sex ? really ? gabi : okay , fine , i admit , i enjoyed it , and i 'm sure you did too . but , i mean , how can i put this delicately ? it 's getting old . stefan : [ laughs ] gabi : is something funny ? stefan : only your continuing insistence that there 's nothing between us but the physical when it 's obvious you have feelings for me . gabi : i 've never denied that i 've had feelings for you . feelings like disgust and hate . the , uh , heartfelt wish that you were dead . tony : oh , anna , please . anna : [ hiccups ] tony : i ca n't stand to see you so upset . [ phone ringing ] anna : would you listen to yourself ? you 're in this terrible situation and -- and you 're worried about me . tony : yeah , force of habit .

[ hitches breath ] [ weeping softly ] tony : dear god . anna : what ? what is it ? tony : with everything that 's been happening today -- with kristen being unmasked , me being charged with ted 's murder -- i just completely forgot . kristen told me she locked gabi and stefan in the tunnels beneath the dimera mansion . anna : are they still there ? tony : as far as i know . you know , she wanted me to kill both of them , and when i refused she got very upset . anna : this is the best news ever . you can use their imprisonment to gain your freedom .

'cause all that time we spent together working side - by - side , i saw how your mind works . i saw that you go after what you want , anything you want , and anyone else be damned . so , yeah , after i found out that you had been conning me for months , did i hate you ? sure , but i saw underneath that . that there was more , and that everything about you -- all the -- the deviousness , the passion , the treachery , the genius -- all those qualities are exactly what caused me to fall for you . gabi : you fell for me ? stefan : yes . i should have admitted it before now , but my pride , my ego would n't let me do it . but i 'm done with all that now . if we never get out of here , i 'm not leaving anything unfinished . that 's why i 'm laying it all out on the line . i care for you , gabi hernandez , and i 'm done pretending i don't . will : okay , so you showed up at the mansion and you -- you found nicole , who was really kristen , chilling in the living room . sonny : well , `` chilling `` would not be the right word . i mean , she was -- she was really nervous . will : nervous ? sonny : yeah , especially when i pointed out gabi 's phone . i said , `` gabi would never leave her phone behind . `` okay , and she -- and she was just like , `` oh , no , it 's no big deal . gabi had some emergency business meeting to go to . `` [ sighs ] how could i not know something was up , will ? will : hold on , how -- how could you not know that -- that it was kristen wearing a nicole walker mask ? i mean , that -- that 's not a conclusion that anyone would jump to . sonny : guess you 're right , but this whole thing is just crazy . will : yeah . okay , so we only have kristen 's word that gabi even left the mansion , and we know she was furious that gabi was running dimera . sonny : oh , my -- what if kristen did something to hurt gabi ? kristen : how can you doubt that i 'm telling you the truth ? i mean , as fantastic as it sounds ... you should know by now ... i will go to any lengths to be near you . xander : i understand your skepticism , but despite everything else she 's done , kristen would not hurt a child . and if she did , she 'd have to answer to me . eric : yeah , well , forgive me if i have a hard time accepting your assurances . sarah : can i talk to you for a minute ? [ tense music ] xander : maggie , i swear to you , i 'm telling the truth . maggie : [ sighs ] xander : and ... i know how much holly means to you . maggie : and yet , you had no problem watching me grieve her death . xander : as i said , i -- i 'm trying to be a better person now . so i really hope that you know that i 'm acting in good faith when i tell you your granddaughter is alive . sarah : you do n't fully believe him , do you ? eric : no , i do n't , but i ca n't think of any reason why xander would lie . what would i have to lose by proceeding on the assumption of truth ? sarah , i have a chance to honor the vow i made nicole . before she died , i promised that i would -- i would keep holly safe , and if that little girl 's alive , i 'm gon na move heaven and earth to find her . sarah : yeah . i 'm gon na be right by your side until you do . brady : do you really expect me to believe you ? do you ? you 've been lying to me , kristen . not only with your words , with your body . every time you touched me , you pretended to be somebody else . that 's pretty sick . kristen : i 'm not so sure about that . you see , i think a part of you -- i mean , maybe even a part that , uh , is bigger than what you 're willing to admit -- knew that it was me all along . brady : mm - mm . kristen : in fact -- in fact , brady ... when we were alone together ... the person who was lying to you was you . nicole never kissed you the way i did . she never touched you the way i did . brady : s - stop that . kristen : do you remember the first time we were together all those years ago ? you said to me ... that you could be the man you could never be with any other person . brady : i remember . kristen : you know what , and this time , right now , it 's no different . in the light of day , i was nicole , but in the dark , when you and i were together and we were touching each other , i was kristen . and you , brady ... you were that man again . and i know that no one in this town believes the word i say , but you trusted me once , and i need you to trust me again . brady : you want me to trust you ? do you ? is that what you want ? then you are gon na have to trust me first . i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis .

[ sighs ] i wish there was a way we could find out if they 're all right . anna : you know , you seem awfully worried about stefan . tony : why , is that a problem ? anna : have you forgotten your whole reason for working with kristen and keeping me at arms ' length was to keep your brother from running the family business ? and now you 're doing the same thing to me all over again , only it 's now to make sure he sees the light of another day . what is important to you , tony ? do you really , really want to risk your life and our future for vivian alamain 's bastard son ? [ indistinct announcement on pa ] [ door squeaks ] gabi : well , you go ahead and tell yourself whatever you want , but we both know it was just sex -- nothing more . stefan : no . if that 's what you think , then so be it . but like i told you , i 'm done denying my feelings . so if we never get out of here , you can keep on trying to destroy me , you can keep on hating me -- hell , you can use what i just confessed to you against me ... but i am opening my heart to you ... knowing full well you promised to break it . will : um , so i know you 're probably out on police business , but , um , just give me a call whenever you get a chance . it 's important .

[ suspenseful music ] maggie : xander ... you said you regret working for kristen . you regret causing me pain , and all the other people who loved holly so much grief . well , if that 's the case and you truly do want to help the people that you 've harmed ... then go to kristen . get her to tell you where holly is . sarah : you said you wanted to be a better man . prove it . do this for holly . for my mom . xander ... do it for me . kristen : i wan na trust you . i wan na believe that you really mean it when you say that there 's a chance for us to be together . i give you nicole 's location ... and you 're just gon na do what you always do . mm - hmm , you 're gon na ignore what 's in your heart , turn your back on me .. but unlike you , i am a woman of my word , and i gave nicole her daughter in exchange for her life . and if anyone in this town wants to see them again ... you ... are gon na get me a new deal . complete immunity from all my crimes . gabi : you 're right . you 're right . after what you did to me , i vowed to seduce you and crush your heart into a million pieces . stefan : so what are you waiting for ? gabi : i can't . stefan : why not ? gabi : oh , my god . oh , my god , i am going to hate myself for this so much more than i hate you . you 're right , okay ? you 're right . i ca n't keep pretending . i 'm -- damn it , stefan , i feel the same way you do . stefan : [ chuckles ] you do ? gabi : can you -- yes , i do , but stop smiling , okay ? oh , my gosh , brady and kate , they warned me that i was playing this dangerous game , but did i listen to them ? no , i did not . i said to myself , `` no , you 're never gon na get hurt again . you 're never gon na fall for a guy again . `` but the joke 's on me , 'cause ... not only did i feel something for the man that i just despise on this planet , i actually fell in love with him .

'cause i knew the guy holding the gun is not the type to shoot first and ask questions later . i 'm glad you 're okay . roman : [ sighs ] so am i . now can i ask my question ? sami : shoot . roman : when it comes to men , do n't you think you can do better than ej dimera ?

[ scene_break ] hope : do you really think that marlena 's going to have a different opinion than the prison psychiatrist ? because they all said the same thing . that nick is ready . maggie : hmm . i know . but i think i would feel more comfortable hearing it from a dear , trusted friend . hope : i understand . maggie : anyway , it may not make any difference in the end . i mean , nick is talking about canceling his parole hearing .

[ tense music ] abe : how 'bout me ? so ... that 's how i became the bait . rafe : now let 's reel him in . lani : i do not wan na get you in trouble , jj . jj : abe has been a friend of my family forever . hell , he is family . i will do whatever it takes to prove he 's innocent . lani : okay . so tell me what you 're thinking . jj : okay . for starters , it 's not just eli going along with this that does n't make sense . it 's hope and rafe arresting him without even protesting . lani : right . it was almost too easy for them . jj : which makes me wonder if maybe they know something we don't . lani : like what ? jj : like there 's no way your father 's arrest will stick . lani : yeah , but how would they know that ? eli : well , maybe rafe could tell that his brother was lying when he named your father . lani : but at that point , why would n't dario just tell the truth ? eli : a lot of reasons . bottom line ... we know dario had to deliver someone important enough to justify the fbi putting him in witness protection . lani : and who 's more important than salem 's upstanding mayor ? jj : exactly . so why do n't we try to find out who dario 's real partner was ? that i.t . guy from the club , myron , he worked really closely with dario . lani : he already said he did n't know anything . jj : then let 's see if we can help him remember .

ciara : you have got to be kidding me . ben : nope . this whole time , `` nicole `` was really kristen dimera in a mask . ciara : unbelievable . wait , wait , wait , so where is kristen right now ? ben : the cops took her in . ciara : do stefan and gabi know about this ? ben : i 'm not sure . trying to reach them , but there 's no answer . starting to get worried . [ dramatic music ] oh , my ... kate : i thought you were sick . i thought that 's why you were n't at john and marlena 's soirée . victor : yes , well , from what i hear , it was just as well that i didn't . kate : mm - hmm . it was quite the surprise party . that 's for sure . but since you 're up and around , i guess that means that you were n't really under the weather . victor : i feel like hell . i dragged myself over here to find out why you lied to my face about shin . kate : what are you talking about ? victor : talking about getting cozy with the competition . the hell you up to , lady ? [ tense music ] john : just ca n't wrap my head around the fact that `` nicole `` was kristen . marlena : when i think about all the things she 's done to the people we care about ... john : ca n't stop thinking about brady . see the look on that kid 's face when i ripped that mask off ? marlena : and eric ... to believe that nicole was back from the dead and rejecting him and then realize that he 'd lost her forever ... sarah : no , i - i ca n't take this anymore . i 'm gon na go down to the police station . maggie : i 'm as anxious as you are , sweetheart . but you 've just got to sit tight and have faith . sarah : faith ? in xander ? mom , do you honestly believe that kristen is gon na tell him where holly is ? maggie : well , he said he 'd try . [ somber music ] sarah : maybe it was a mistake to let eric go with him . i -- i 'm afraid of what he 's gon na do to kristen if she does n't cooperate . maggie : oh , hon , i know you 're concerned about eric . but what happened here tonight was n't just a shock to him . sarah : i know . and ... brady and ... god , marlena . john ! maggie : and you . kristen : [ sighs ] you may have been making love to nicole , but you were there wanting me . i know that you were , and deep down , deep down right now , brady ... [ laughs ] you still do . i can see it in your eyes , brady ; you still care . i know you do . so i 'm never giving up . one way or another , we will be together . eric : nicole ca n't be alive . she died in the fire . brady : kristen -- she swears it 's true . eric : she 's lying ! she 's just worming her way out of going to prison . brady : listen to me , listen to me . i know you have every reason to believe she 's lying to you , but i think she 's telling the truth about this . eric : why ? why -- when has she been honest with us ? brady : because in her twisted mind , she thinks that we 're still gon na be together , right ? and she thinks that honesty is gon na be the way to win me back . so she 's telling me everything that she would n't tell anybody else . that holly is alive , that she 's with nicole somewhere -- eric : no , brady ! do n't you see she 's just messing with you ? brady : you do n't understand what i 'm saying to you . kristen made nicole a deal . she said ... that she would let nicole live and be with holly , and , in return , nicole would let kristen steal her life . [ dramatic music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] ben : you were in the tunnels ? gabi : yes , yes , we were stuck in the damn wine cellar . ben : by kristen , right ? she did this ? stefan : yeah , she knocked us out and dragged us down there . ciara : oh , my god . well , a - are you guys okay ? how did you even get out ? stefan : will and sonny rescued us . gabi : where the hell were you ? ben : we were just about to start searching . gabi : oh , really , okay , so stefan and i , we 've been mia for hours , kristen is out loose , and you -- now you 're gon na start searching ? ben : i 'm sorry . okay , we honestly just found out that kristen dimera was passing herself off as nicole . we had no idea . we just found out . gabi : you are the head of my security ; you 're supposed to keep me safe , but you 're completely incompetent . ciara : look , gabi , i know that you 're upset , but this really is not ben 's fault . ben : i promise you , mrs . dimera , nothing like this will ever happen again . gabi : no , you 're right . it won't . because you 're fired . [ dramatic music ] sarah : i am ... stunned . and angry . and so , so sad . you know , when i think about my feelings , i - i think about how what eric is going through is so much worse . i had no idea that kristen could be that evil . maggie : she 's gon na get what 's coming to her . sarah : i hope she pays . i hope we find holly . and that this whole nightmare is just over . honestly , mom , all i can think about is how much eric is suffering and how i just wish i could take his pain away . maggie : mm . you love him very much , do n't you ? sarah : i really do . maggie : well , he 's a very lucky man to have you in his life . sarah : [ scoffs ] no , do n't give me too much credit , 'cause ever since `` nicole `` came back , i have been feeling pretty damn insecure . maggie : well , that 's not the impression i got earlier . you seemed so convinced that things were gon na work out between you and eric . sarah : i know he loves me . but there is a part of me that ... that wonders if he truly wants to be with me or if we just ended up together because nicole rejected him . maggie : you two are together because your connection is undeniable . and because this wicked kristen dimera made him think that nicole was no longer the woman that he had fallen in love with , that her anger had turned her into a completely different person . sarah : yeah . still ... i 've been afraid that time would soften nicole 's anger . and that she would eventually forgive eric and then he 'll just go running back into her arms and i ... i 'd lose him all over again . maggie : well ... we know that 's never gon na happen . [ chuckles ] brady : kristen said that she pulled nicole right out of the warehouse before it exploded . and now she feels like she deserves something in return . eric : nicole 's alive ? brady : kristen was desperate to come back to salem , so she knew she could n't do it as herself , so she came back as nicole . she used rolf 's technology , whatever the hell it is , to create a mask and then she convinced nicole to help her pull off the impersonation . now , she had nicole and holly in some remote location and then kristen came back . eric : so first she 's dead , now she 's alive ? brady : i know ... eric : i kn -- you know what , brady , i ca n't even believe you . brady : i do n't believe -- hey . eric , i did n't believe it either . but think about it . how many people made it out of that fire ? and you know nicole . she would do anything for holly , anything . if kristen really did make her that offer , eric , she -- eric : kristen does n't make offers ! she 's a cold - blooded killer . you know it ! brady : but she would n't hurt a child . and she had nothing against nicole . xander : did kristen say where nicole and holly are ? brady : no . no , she 's not gon na tell me unless i find a way to grant her full immunity . unless we do , we 're not gon na see them again apparently . eric : then i 'm gon na go talk to that miserable bitch myself . brady : hey , let me go with you . eric : no , i 'm gon na do this on my own . [ tense music ] i 'm just a normal person victor : mr. shin chairs the board at dimera , our biggest rival . kate : i know . victor : well , when i met you earlier at the club , you feigned disdain for him . kate : oh , my god , seriously , i do n't have a clue to what you 're talking about . victor : oh , save in . number one , i can always tell when you 're lying . and number two , the bartender told me you had your heads close together and you did n't seem upset at all . kate : oh , really ? really , you 're spying on me ? victor : no , i simply tipped the man . obviously i should have been spying on you . kate : it was n't my idea , victor . mr. shin approached me -- and quite aggressively , may i add . victor : oh , please , you 're gon na make me nauseous . kate : oh , my god , no , not to sleep with me . to hire me ... as ceo of dimera . victor : so have you defected or not ? john : voicemail . [ phone beeps ] marlena : you know what , i 'm sure he 'll check in when there 's news . please try not to worry . john : i ca n't help myself , doc . despite everything kristen has done to brady , i 'm afraid she still may have a hold on him . [ suspenseful music ] kristen : hello , eric . eric : i prayed to god i 'd never have to lay eyes on your face again . kristen : oh , you still pray ? i would 've thought the whole sex , lies , and videotape thing would have put a kibosh on that . eric : you destroyed my life as a priest and you tortured my family . but this , this is a new low for you . kristen : what are you so upset about ? i - i assume brady told you that your lady - friend is still alive . eric : and you 're lying ! just like you lied when you pretended to be nicole . kristen : i fooled you , did n't i ? eric : she was the love of my life . you made me think she hated me , that she blamed me for the death of her daughter ... to get your hooks into brady . kristen : it was n't personal . it 's true . i wanted brady . and you were in my way . i kept telling you to stay away . but you were like a bad rash . you kept coming back . so i had to come up with something to get you to leave me the hell alone . eric : the death of a child ? kristen : holly is not dead . eric : yeah , but you made us think she was . even after john ripped off your face , you did n't say a word . you only mentioned it to brady . why , did you think that somehow he 'd start caring about you ? kristen : brady does care about me . eric : he hates you as much as i do . kristen : why are you pitching a fit ? you should be out there celebrating . i swear ... on my love for brady , nicole is alive . eric : you demented freak . kristen : [ laughs ] now , now ... you better start being nicer to me , because i 'm the only one who can tell you where nicole and her precious little daughter are . are n't you dying to find out ? ciara : you ca n't fire ben . gabi : yes , i can . i run dimera . ciara : why would you get rid of your most dedicated employee ? ben : ciara -- ciara : no , no , no , no . ben works his tail off day and night . he 'll go without food . he 'll go without water . he 'll go without sleep . he 'll put his life on the line just to keep other people safe . he is smart , he is loyal , and he always does his best . gabi : yeah , well , his best got me and stefan locked in a dungeon and left to die . ciara : how were we supposed to know that kristen was running around in a nicole mask ? you guys did n't know . nobody did . stefan : she has a point , gabi . gabi : listen , i know that you two are simpatici or whatever , but i have a child to think about . i can not take chances ! stefan : you 're right . you and arianna deserve the best , and you 're getting that and more in ben . gabi : well , you know i ca n't stand him . stefan : look , gabi ... it was n't too long ago you felt that way about me and you changed your mind , right ? the important thing is we are free and unharmed , okay ? probably better off for having been locked up together , if you know what i mean . gabi : yes , i know what you mean . will you stop ? yes , ben , you can have your job back . ben : thank you ... mr . and mrs . dimera . gabi : mm - hmm . ben : you wo n't regret this . stefan : mr. and mrs . dimera . gabi : [ sighs ] stefan : has a nice ring to it . [ chuckles ] now that we 've both been honest about our feelings for each other , hopefully it 's smooth sailing from here on out . gabi : i hope so . hey , listen , um , i got ta go . i got ta go check on arianna right now , actually . stefan : okay , hey , just promise me you 'll come back and spend the night . gabi : well , arianna 's been worried , so ... stefan : yeah . sonny and will are probably just getting there . it 's late . she 's sleeping . you 're gon na sit down and watch her sleep all night ? gabi : [ laughs ] stefan : we will have you up and out of the house and back home before she wakes up . gabi : well , i ca n't make any promises , 'cause i need to go check up on her right now . i need to get going . kate : i ... declined mr . shin 's offer , obviously , because i work for you . victor : you telling me you turned down a shot to be top dog at dimera ? and you turned it down out of loyalty to me ? kate : is that so very hard to believe ? victor : yes . kate : i told mr . shin that i could n't work for him because of my allegiance to you . but truthfully , it 's because i was afraid of kristen . she had threatened to kill me , kill my family . i thought it best not to defy her . victor : that cuckoo 's in a cage now . kate : exactly . so now i 'm free to accept the offer . victor : and is that your plan ? kate : that all depends . victor : on what ? kate : on whether you can match mr . shin 's offer . demote brady . make me ceo of titan . brady : what in the hell are you doing here anyway ? xander : i came to help . i promised maggie and sarah i 'd try and get kristen to give up holly 's location . brady : yeah , maggie , after three decades of being sober , destroyed by your lies , xander , you know that ? xander : i 'm trying to make it up to her . brady : do n't give me that crap . you knew that holly was alive . you did n't say anything . xander : i did n't know anything about nicole , i swear . all kristen told me was that holly was in good hands . i had no idea she was with her mother until you told us just now . brady : sorry i do n't buy it , xander . you 've teamed up with kristen before . and you hate eric . you 've always been jealous of him because nicole has been the love of his life . you tried to put a bullet in him . xander : you have no right to lecture me on being jealous of eric . brady : we 're not talking about me ; we 're talking about you being scum . xander : look , whether you believe me or not , i did n't know anything about nicole . yeah , i might not have been the man of her dreams , but we were married . i did care about her . and i , for one , am happy that she did n't die in that fire . brady : are you suggesting that i 'm not ? xander : no , i 'm suggesting that , instead of wasting your time trashing me , maybe you should just be happy nicole is alive . sarah : it is going to be so hard for eric to have to grieve nicole all over again . but , mom ... this changes things . maybe now eric can finally find closure . and maybe now we both can finally move forward . and i 'm gon na be there for him every step of the way . maggie : like i said , he 's a lucky man . sarah : do you think that i 'm a horrible person ? because it sounds like i 'm relieved that nicole is gone , like it makes things easier for me . maggie : no , honey , i know what you 're saying . sarah : because i would never ask or expect or even want eric to forget nicole . what i want is all ... all i want ... is for eric to be happy . eric : okay , let 's hear it . kristen : as i told brady , i need full immunity first . so ... run along . talk to the da . and once i 'm free , i 'll tell you anything you want to know . eric : you 're not going free until you talk . kristen : and i 'm not gon na talk until i go free . so we hit a wall . eric : kristen , i 'm telling you -- kristen : this is not a negotiation . you get me a deal ... or you will never see nicole again . [ screaming ] eric : where is she ? where is she ? eric : you tell me where they are now ! tell me where they are , kristen ! [ overlapping shouting ] you tell me where they are ! i want to know where they are ! brady : eric ! eric : where 's nicole ? brady : leave her alone ! maggie : listen ... you know , do n't be so hard on yourself . i had a few private moments of my own when i found out that kristen was masquerading around as nicole . and they were n't entirely noble . sarah : what kind of thoughts ? maggie : well , let 's just say that i was relieved that i did n't hallucinate kristen . i had been drinking and , when i saw her in nicole 's room , i ... well ... everyone thought i was delusional , and that made me feel terrible about myself . but i was right . i know what i saw . sarah ; mom , i am ... i am so sorry . i have been so wrapped up in my own stuff lately that i have n't even told you how proud i am of you for your sobriety . maggie : oh . [ laughs ] ooh , and i 'm so proud of myself . and so is victor . he gave me this . it 's to celebrate ten weeks ' sobriety and counting . i was touched . sarah : i 'm glad that victor is being supportive . maggie : well , he and i had a rough patch lately . but it 's partially my fault . but now we 're on the right track . and hopefully for good . kate : i know you do n't want to lose me . if you make me ceo , i wo n't leave titan and i wo n't leave you . victor : [ sighs ] i ca n't do that to brady . i mean , you of all people know how hard it was for me to renew my relationship with my grandson . kate : i know how easily distracted he is by personal matters . i mean , right now , he 's dealing with a psychotic mess as we speak . victor : kristen dimera will go to prison and he 'll go back to work . kate : but i do a better job , and you know that . i earned this . i deserve it . eric : i 'm out of here . xander : if you do n't mind , i would love to get a hold of ms . dimera . just make it quick , all right ? i 've got to take her down to holding . kristen : [ coughs ] oh , you have some nerve , showing up here . xander : i just came to talk some sense into you . kristen : if you think i 'm gon na listen to a spineless traitor like you -- xander : i 'm just gon na cut right to the chase . you want immunity , you can get it , just like i did . but first you have to make a show of good faith . there are women who know when little leaks show up , ciara : so if gabi stays in charge at dimera , do you think she 'll let us stay at the gatehouse ? ben : well , i do n't know what happened down in that cellar , but gabi and stefani seem to be getting along . ciara : you noticed that too , huh ? ben : oh , yeah . i mean , since stefan wants me to stick around and gabi seems to listen to him , i think we 'll be able to keep our place . what ? ciara : nothing , it 's just ... you just said `` our place . `` ben : that 's how i think of it . ciara : me too . ben : okay , good . ciara : yeah , you know , it 's really ... it 's really starting to feel like home there . you know , it 's where i wear your t - shirts , where i burn our dinners ... ben : mm . ciara : and it 's where we made love for the first time . ben : mm - hmm . ciara : mm - hmm . and you know what 's really cool ? ben : what ? ciara : i think it 's really cool that us living together was n't some sort of , like , big discussion . we just ... i do n't know , we kind of just drifted into it . ben : well , let me make one thing very clear to you , ciara . i did n't drift into anything . i have wanted what we have together since the day i fell in love with you . no , you know what ? ciara : mm ? ben : even earlier . i 've wanted this ... since the day i found you on the side of the road . fate brought us together . ciara : mm ... ben : i will never let anything -- anything -- tear that apart . [ tender music ] stefan : anyway , mr . shin , sorry i missed you . i look forward to speaking soon . [ phone beeps ] how 's ari ? gabi : you were right . she was sound asleep . so how come you were on the phone with mr . shin ? stefan : i 'm just checking in , since i assume i 'll be getting my job back . gabi : [ scoffs ] why would you assume that ? shin named me ceo and i 've been doing a pretty good job while you 've been away . stefan : sure , but i was only away because i was framed for kidnapping and murder , which is why you were tapped to step in . i would imagine shin and the rest of the board will want things to get back to normal as soon as possible . it 's not gon na be a problem , is it ? for you ? and by `` you , `` i mean `` us . `` victor : i 'm sure shin has moved on by now . kate : on the contrary . it 's an open - ended offer . so all i have to do is say yes and , as andre 's widow , i qualify . victor : dimera already has a ceo . kate : gabi hernandez ? she 's about as qualified , as capable , as my shoe of running a multinational corporation . stefan 's a joke . and kristen will be totally out of the running by the time they throw her into prison . victor : i 'm just not sure i can do it . kate : the victor kiriakis that i know always puts his company first , because he knows , by ensuring the continued success of titan , he 's taking the best care of his family . and his family is more important to him than anything . victor : but if i demote brady , he 's never going to forgive me . kate : [ scoffs ] brady 's a big boy . he 's going to get over it . he knows it 's only business . and if he does n't , then he 's really not up to the task , am i right ? let 's do it . john : you know what , doc , i think we need to call a timeout here from worrying about our boys and just try to enjoy the last couple hours of our anniversary . marlena : you know , if it had n't been for kristen , this would have been a perfect night . john : no , no , no , no , no , it 's all good . i 'm here with my incredible wife . we have just celebrated another year together . as far as i 'm concerned , it could n't be any more beautiful than this . marlena : i 'm just so glad i married you . john : th -- that was my line ! you just -- you just took the words right out of my mouth . but i can promise you this , sweetheart . we are going to enjoy many more happy anniversaries , especially now that kristen dimera is finally out of our lives for good . [ romantic music ] kristen : i 'm not saying a damn word until i get total immunity . you sure didn't . but once you knew that they could n't touch you , you flipped on me like the rat you are . xander : come on , k.d . ca n't you tell me where holly and nicole are ? just for old time 's sake ? [ dangerous music ] kristen : [ mouthing ] go to hell . xander : you owe me . kristen : i owe you nothing . brady : hey . why do n't you go home ? i 'll call the da . i 'll set up a meeting , all right ? eric : i 'm not leaving . not until i know the truth . brady : we 're gon na get to the bottom of this , i promise you that . come on , go home and get some rest . i 'll call you as soon as i hear anything , i promise you . go home . [ dramatic music ] kristen : i swear on my love for brady , nicole is alive . nicole is alive . nicole is alive . nicole is alive . stefan : why do you seem so unhappy ? when we were in that room , i opened my heart to you , told you that i have real feelings for you . gabi : well , then why are you so quick to demote me ? stefan : i 'm only taking back a job that 's rightfully mine . gabi : right , and you 're expecting me to go back to running gabi chic ? stefan : would that be so bad ? gabi : it 's just not as easy taking orders now that you 're used to giving them . stefan : you 've been under me before . gabi : yeah . but i prefer to be on top . i thought you liked it too . i mean , you were n't complaining earlier . [ phone beeps ] [ line trilling ] eric : hey . sarah : eric . hey , i 'm going crazy worrying about you . what 's going on ? what happened with kristen ? eric : can you come over to my place ? i need to talk to you in person . sarah : of course .

mimi : hey ! rex : you ran out on me . why ? where are you going that you do n't want me to know about ? shawn - d : hey , should n't mimi be helping ? 'cause this is her place , too , right ? belle : she should be here any minute . you know , it 's weird calling it her place . she 's hardly ever here . she 's always with rex . shawn - d : does n't she realize the guy is out of his mind ? belle : she is in love with him , shawn . she thinks she 's the luckiest girl in the world 'cause her boyfriend 's so smart and gorgeous . shawn - d : yeah , who cares if he 's crazy and violent ? belle : we do n't know for a fact rex is the one that attacked your parents . shawn - d : he just had motive and opportunity , and if he had n't walked in on me when i was looking at his computer , i 'm sure i would have found even more incriminating evidence than i already did . belle : it 's a shame . shawn - d : and you know what ? i 'm not going to stop there . i 'm telling you , i 'm going to continue investigating him until i find out what the hell he 's up to , and philip -- he better stay out of my way . philip : look , mom , i 'm just kind of busy right now . can i call you back ? okokay . all right , bye . cassie : philip . philip : cassie , hey . cassie : this works out well . great timing . philip : for what ? what are you doing here ? cassie : i 'm here to help you break up shawn and belle . kate : ah , hello . marlena : oh . kate : want company ? marlena : well , since it 's you , yes , i do . kate : i thought i 'd get a bite and then go over to salem place . you look upset . marlena : oh , well , no , just the usual worries . well ... maybe a little more serious than the usual worries . kate : something to do with sami , by chance ? woman : great party dresses . you want to try on a couple ? sami : um , actually , i need some work outfits . i just got a great job at an upscale company . woman : congratulations . i 'll put something together for you . be back in a minute . sami : thanks . caroline : hi , sami . sami : oh , grandma . caroline : i heard about your job at basic black . oh , that 's wonderful . sami : yeah , i 'm really excited about it . caroline : of course you are , and i know john was the one who had enough faith in you to give you a chance . sami : yeah , well , that 's what john and mom want everyone to think , but i know better . caroline : what 's that supposed to mean ? sami : look , mom and john have never done anything to help me . they just broke up my family and ruined my childhood , remember ? caroline : oh , sami , for heaven 's sakes . when are you going to get past what happened all those years ago ? sami : probably never . caroline : well , your father got past it . roman forgave marlena and john , and yet you still harbor all this resentment . sami : well , because my dad refuses to see the bad side of anybody , but i see john and marlena for who they really are . they are just stuck - up , selfish millionaires who have always treated the bradys like trash . caroline : sami , do n't say that . sami : it 's true . that is who they really are , and it 's about time that you dealt with it , grandma . tony : hmm . [ knock on door ] tony : come in . woman : commander carver is here . abe : you have some explaining to do , dimera . tony : oh , two visits in one day . to what do i owe the honor ? abe : one of my informants is dead . tony : what has that got to do with me ? abe : oh , cut the act . you know as well as i do he worked his way into the dimera organization . he was ready to talk and wound up with a bullet inisis head . tony : well , what can i say ? 2-timing 's a dangerous business . abe : and you 're suspect number one . tony : hmm . has it ever occurred to you , did you ever think , that this man possibly could have made hundreds of enemies ? abe : none as ruthless as you are . tony : how do you think my sister would react if she finds out that you 're harassing me ? abe : you stay the hell away from her . tony : are you really going to arrest your own brother - in - law ? victor : on a scale of 10 , i 'd say your hangover was a 9 . nicole : an evening with a vodka bottle beats spending the night with you . victor : your attempted cacape last night was pathetic . nicole : if that damn plane had left on time , i 'd be dancing in the streets of paris by now . victor : i have operatives all over the world . you 'll never escape from me . nicole : why not ? why not let me go ? victor : because you 're mine . from now on , you 'll obey me and stay away from my grandson or i 'll have you arrested for the murder of colin murphy . nicole : what does brady have to do with this ? victor : you 're trying to get him on your side , make me out the bad guy . nicole : you are the bad guy . victor : when he finds out that you 're a whore and a murderer , he 'll figure out soon enough who the real villain is . in fact , maybe it 's time i told brady . brady : told me what ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . brady : so what is it you , uh , want to tell me ? victor : it can wait . brady : does it have anything to do with last night ? nicole : why would you think that ? brady : i was looking for you . where were you ? nicole : out . victor : sometimes nicole needs to be alone . last night was one of those times . nicole : now is one of those times , too . brady : all right , what the hell is going on here , granddad ? victor : not a damn thing . she 's miserabl s she blames me . brady : so why do n't you try speaking to her instead of locking her in her room ? victor : i have work to do , brady . brady : granddad -- all right , sorry , please , just ... tell me what happened between you two last night . what was it ? rex : mimi , you 're meeting someone , are n't you ? mimi : no . yes . but it 's -- it 's not what you think . i 'm meeting belle . we 're painting the loft today . rex : why could n't you just tell me ? mimi : because i -- i - i knew you 'd want to help , and -- and it 's not like we ca n't use all the help we can get , but i just -- i - i thought you would n't be interested . rex : so you did n't even tell me ? mimi : shawn and philip are going to be there , and every time you guys are in the same room together , it turns into a shouting match or worse , and i just -- i do n't need that . rex : am i supposed to be happy about shawn breaking into my room and snooping through my computer files , huh ? whose side are you on , mimi ? mimi : yours , of course . look ... we really could use your help painting , so why do n't you come back to the loft with me ? i mean , who knows , maybe we can all be friends again , the way we used to be . rex : i doubt that , but i 'll go . mimi : great . i 'll race you to my new bedroom . rex : i 'll givyoyou a 10-second head start . mimi : okay . rex : [ thinking ] i love you , mimi , but the truth is , i ca n't let shawn out of my sight . because if there 's one thing i 've learned from tony , it 's keep your friends close , but your enemies closer . philip : cassie , i never gave the green light to this little plan of yours . cassie : but you do want shawn and belle to break up , do n't you ? philip : yeah , but game playing and deception are not the ways i 'd like to go about getting a woman . and even if i ever did decide to sink to that level , it is impossible to break those two up . and besides , they 're my friends , and i do n't want -- cassie : fine , fine , i do n't need your approval . i 'm going to do whatever i want anyway . i 'm going to pit shawn and belle against each other , and then it 's all clear . you can just swoop in on her little heart . belle : i thought i heard voices . what are you doing here ? cassie : i 'm here to help you paint . excuse me . philip : [ sighs ] cassie : hey , shawn , let me help you . philip : do n't look at me . i did n't invite her . belle : well , thanks for bringing the paint . philip : sure . i got a bunch more in the car . i need shawn to help me . belle : if you can tear him away from cassie . cassie : there . maybe i should start with the baseboards down there . tony : lexie 's a dimera . you try to destroy her family , she 'll never forgive you . abe : theo and i are lexie 's family . tony : yes , well , she could divorce you and keep the child . call it the best of both worlds . abe : let 's start with where you went when i left here , when my informant was shot . tony : i was here at home . abe : can anyone vouch for you ? tony : actually , no . belle : cassie , it 's time for you to go home . cassie : w ? ? i 'm just here to help . belle : hard work 's not your style . you might break a nail . cassie : hmm . you 're just jealous . your boyfriend looks down my shirt , and you go ballistic . belle : home , cassie . now . cassie : not a chance . this party 's just heating up . shawn - d : man , it is so hot out there . philip : yeah , it is . cassie : i did n't know we were gon na go topless . belle : we 're not . cassie : oh , but i do n't want to get paint on my shirt . rex : cassie , what are you doing ? cassie : um , painting . belle : well , keep your shirt on . shawn - d : what are you doing here ? mimi : shawn , please do n't start . rex : i was invited . unlike you , i do n't break in where i 'm not wanted . marlena : sami was devastated when brandon left her . and then she got the annulment papers through the mail . kate : well , what did she expect ? marlena : she still loves him . does n't want to sign the papers . and she 's hoping that abe can sort of campaign on her behalf . kate : what ? she 's living in a fantasy if she thinks abe 's going to side with her after what she did to lexie , changing the paternity test . marlena : oh , i know . i know . she 's ridiculous to think that abe might help her , and in fact , he didn't . he refused her . kate : [ sighs ] marlena : and then all hell broke loose , and apparent s she had some nasty words for abe and lexie before she left in tears . kate : your daughter is really on the edge . marlena : i should n't be telling you this . i mean , she is going to be working for you . kate , i 'm hoping that this will be like a second chance for sami , working at basic black . kate : whenever sami is feeling less than zero , she makes me enemy number one , which makes basic black the worst possible place for her to be , do n't you think ? sami : you 're my family . my grandparents are supposed to love me and keep me safe . you did n't fight for me . you did n't try to help your son save his marriage . caroline : stop right there , young lady . do n't you judge your grandfather and me . we did everything we could to keep your parents from splitting up , but marlena loved john . sami : you mean that she got a taste of the high life and never looked back . caroline : do n't you talk that way about your mother . sami : are you kidding me ? she went for the first high roller who came along . she abandoned me and eric and left my poor father heartbroken . caroline : oh , samantha brady . how can you have so much life experience , and so little tolerance of other people 's faults ? i mean , you know what it 's like to make a mistake . you want forgiveness and grace , so why ca n't you be less harsh in your judgment of others ? sami : when you say things like that , it makes you seem so good and noble . but the truth is , if you 're for what 's right , you 're against what 's wrong , and what john and mom did was wrong . caroline : things happen between a man and a woman that you do n't plan . i mean , you ought to know that . when it comes to love and passion , our minds are sometimes ruled by our heart , even if it means hurting others . it 's -- i 'm not saying it 's right . sami : well , yes , you are , because you 're siding with them against me , just like everyone else in this pathetic family . caroline : do n't you talk about your family that way . i wo n't have that . has n't marlena suffered enough without having her own daughter put her down ? sami : marlena 's a whore ! caroline : dear god ! sami : you know , grandma , you 're the one who taught me about the bible , and the 10 commandments say `` thou shall not commit adultery . `` caroline : the bible also speaks of forgiveness . sami : yeah , when the person confesses and repents , and that is not marlena . caroline : sami ! sami : well -- sorry , grandma . i apologize . i 'll forgive , okay ? i 'll forgive my head off . caroline : well , i hope you mean it . sami : i do . this conversation has ... helped me see the light . i 'm a changed person . caroline : if only that were true . sami : i love you , grandma . i 'm sorry , okay ? i'llee you later , and happy shopping . caroline : sami , call me soon . we 'll go out to dinner with your grandfather . he 'd love to see you . sami : i would love that . i will . i promise . take care . caroline : yeah . sami : sorry , grandma , but forgiveness ? no way . i am out for the sweet taste of revenge . brady : granddad , something must have happened last night . nicole was so upset , she climbed out of her bedroom window . victor : why do you care ? brady : because i live under the same roof . i notice these things . victor : look , some things that happen between a husband and wife are private , and impossible for outsiders to understand . look at bill and hillary . brady : i just want the two of you to be happy , okay ? victor : and i appreciate that , but trust me , our marriage will survive . now , why do n't you show me that new recording studio of yours ? brady : whoa . that was the smoothest change of gears i 've heard in a very long time . victor : well , watch and learn . come on , you owe me a tour . nicole : i 'll never get out of this hellhole . not without an ally . abe : no one on your staff can vouch for your whereabouts when my informant was being killed . tony : actually , i gave the staff -- well , most of them -- the rest of the day off . abe : what about the woman that answered the door ? tony : mabel ? oh , she was out all morning running errands . abe : rex and his girlfriend -- they were here . tony : yes , they were , but they left . i 've been alone for hours . abe : well , it looks like your luck has ruouout , dimera . no alibi . you 're on shaky ground . tony : why is it every time a crime is committed here in salem , i am automatically the suspect , hmm ? abe : i know your history . tony : how could i have possibly bashed in people 's skulls while i was in a coma , shot people at point - blank range , and they were miles away ? abe : i never said he was shot at point - blank range . how did you know that ? tony : i just read minds . abe : this is not a joke , damn it . tony : if you 're going to arrest me for murder , then do it . otherwise , get the hell out of my house . abe : one way or another , i 'm going to get the goods on you , dimera . shawn - d : you 're not welcome here . rex : yeah ? if you do n't like it , take off . belle : no , no , no , no . no , everyone stays , because we need workers . mimi : yeah , let 's start upstairs . you guys start downstairs , and maybe we can work our way back to one another by the end of the day . shawn - d : yeah , do n't count on it , all right ? you know , if the lights go off , watch your back , because he 's liable to hit you upside the head like he did my parents . philip : whoa . shawn , come on , man . rex : where the hell do you get off ? philip : no , shawn , no ! not here , man ! this is not the place , okay ? you calm yourself down ! shawn - d : philip , why do n't you stay out of it ? belle : stop ! mimi : no ! philip : back up ! shawn - d : just like a dimera , coming at me when my back is turned ! rex : you started this , breaking into my house and hacking into my computer files ! shawn - d : if i had those files , you 'd be in jail right now ! rex : i have nothing to hide ! i should have had you arrested for breaking and entering . mimi : stop it , you guys , please , both of you ! we all used to be friends ! we trusted one another , and we stood up for each other ! i 'm sick of this . belle : mimi 's right . we all need to get along . rex , you are my brother , and i care about you . anand i love you . i want to spend the rest of my life with you . and like it or not , we 're all going to be family . so please just try to get along . mimi : [ crying ] shawn - d : mimi , do n't cry . mimi : this is supposed to be fun . this is our first apartment . belle : mimi and i were really looking forward to decorating this place , making it our own . shawn - d : come on , it 's not too late to still have a good time . cassie : yeah , it 's been a lot of laughs so far . philip : we need to find a way to work together , you guys . shawn - d : you 're right . i still have my suspicions , but there 's no sense in figining . rex : your suspicions are wrong . i did n't attack your parents . belle : guys , please . do n't let the feud between the dimeras and the bradys continue into our generation . look at what it did to our parents . shawn - d : okay . wrestling match is over . philip : right , so let 's go back to our corners and come out painting . rex : meems . hey . come on . shawn - d : i 'm sorry . belle : yeah , me too . it started out to be such a good day . shawn - d : hey . it 's just important how we finish , right ? cassie : leave everything to me . belle and shawn are history . woman : will this work for you ? sami : well , the cut is nice , but the color 's not right . i need something that wo n't show blood . woman : what ? why ? sami : i 'm in the revenge business , and it can get very messy . woman : right . um , well , i 'll just go look for something that 's a little more blood - friendly . sami : [ laughs ] marlena : you 're in a good mood . sami : mom . how long have you been standing there ? marlena : long enough to hear you laughing . what 's so funny ? sami : i 'm just thrilled about my new job . higher than a kite . marlena : let me bring you down to earth , sami . what happened ? what did you say that upset your grandmother so ? sami : i just told her a few home truths . you know what a pollyanna grandma can be . she never deals with reality . brady : that better be lemonade . nicole : actually , it 's a new drink . i like to call it the colin murphy . one splash irish whiskey , one shot in the back , shake well , and put it on ice till the cops show up . brady : so that 's it . nicole : that 's what ? brady : that 's why you 're so upset . you 're haunted by the shooting on your wedding night . nicole : close , but no cigar . brady : nicole , that is not the answer . just give me it . put it down . nicole : brady , you do n't even know what the question is . brady : then clue me in , okay ? nicole : ask victor . brady : i did . hehe told me to butt out . nicole : ditto . brady : all right , you do n't want my help , then you 're on your own . nicole : okay . one question , but it 's got to be the right one . brady : okay . give me a hint . nicole : why do n't you ask me what the one good thing in my life is ? brady : what is the one good thing in your life ? nicole : you . cassie : leave it to belle to pick the color of urine for her walls . philip : ha ha . right . hey ! cassie ! try to keep it on the wall . come on . ahh . mimi : oh ! rex : watch where you 're going . belle : this is a disaster . shawn - d : i have an idea . belle : oh , quick , before they all kill each other . shawn - d : all right , everybody , break time . listen , pizza 's gon na be here in probably about 15 minutes , so , uh , put those paint brushes down , and i 'm gon na learn you all some oldies . belle : you 're a genius . shawn - d : show them how it 's done , babe . belle : what are you doing ?

lucas : who else could it have been ? who else ? but i never would have done that , ever ! i never would have done that . chloe : well , i do n't -- maybe you were so bombed , you thought you were with adrienne . lucas : no , no ! no , i mean -- maybe , okay ? maybe it 's possible , maybe . but that does n't explain how she ended up dead ! chloe : i hate to say this , but it looks like you had sex with anjelica because you thought she was adrienne . lucas : oh , i do n't feel good all of a sudden . oh , god . chloe : well , what was she doing in adrienne 's room ? lucas : i do n't know . i - i - i do n't know . i - i - i ran into her a couple days ago , and -- and she was trying to make a truce with adrienne . she was looking for her . chloe : okay , so , what , last night , you came here waiting for adrienne and then she came here to see her ? lucas : what , and then we just did the deed like that ? we would n't do that . come on , she hates me just as much as i hate her . chloe : i do n't know . maybe you were so drunk , you did n't know what you were doing . and maybe she was n't really looking for a truce . lucas : i do n't know . i mean , i do n't know . that does sound like her , i guess , but -- chloe : yeah , so she wanted to stick it to adrienne by having you stick it to her . lucas : well , she got stuck with the short end of the stick . chloe : seriously , i do n't think that there 's any way around this . we 're gon na have to call the police . lucas : no , no ! no , no ! no , no ! no . no , no , no , no , no . no , no , no . we ca n't do that . hattie : it 's your lucky day . andre : why ? hattie : i 've decided to help you . andre : and why are you doing that ? hattie : well , i think i owe it to the world to -- to help decide if you really are becoming a more decent person . andre : ah . hattie : so i will do your evaluation . andre : ah , that -- and what do you get out of that ? hattie : well , i - i just do n't like the idea of -- of kate playing ... roman the way she is , and we both know that 's what she 's doing . andre : oh . what i do n't understand is , um , you doing me this favor , how that would impact kate and roman . hattie : well , i 'll sort all that out . roman is my ex - husband , but i - i think he deserves better than ... kate . andre : oh . [ chuckles ] this is wonderful . i mean , you giving me a positive evaluation will certainly convince the board to allow me to have control of dimera enterprises . hattie : oh , right . maybe we should let them know that kate is having an affair and it means she 's distracted and she 's not attending to business . andre : exactly . and then i can show her the door . hattie : well , i would n't be mean about it . i mean , i would n't want to see her get hurt . andre : ah . so ... do we have a deal ? hattie : oh . oh , yes , we do . um ... why do n't you just call my office and make an appointment as soon as possible ? marlena : oh , i would give anything to feel your arms around me . john : i can make that happen , doc . just close your eyes again . i want you to see us together , just you and me .

[ dark music ] sometimes , bipolar i disorder belle : i wo n't let you make this your fault , dad . bad luck did not cause what happened today . mom getting shot did not happen because you saw her in her wedding dress . it happened because of my impulsive and selfish sister . john : isabelle , isabelle -- belle : i mean it ! only one person is responsible for what happened to mom , and that was sami . sami : hope , if i had thought you might take rafe back , i would have -- hope : you would have done ... exactly the same thing . but then again ... look at what you did to your own son . you found out that will was alive . my god , what a miracle . he was alive and well . and you gave ben the chance , the opportunity to finish what he started . sami : i was trying to help will . hope : you goaded him into choking your own son , sami . you did n't care how terrified will was -- it did n't even occur to you that it could have been his last breath , and you just got him back ! because you know what ? all you cared about ... all you ever care about is you . you just wanted him to remember you . that 's all you cared about ! adrienne : honey , this is so wonderful ! have you told arianna that her daddy remembers her ? sonny : not yet , no . i figured i 'd let him do that . adrienne : i knew it . i told you this would happen eventually . this is gon na get you and will back together . sonny : okay , it might be a little ... soon to say that , okay , 'cause he does care for paul , and he does n't want to hurt him . adrienne : but honey , he cares for you now too . sonny : he , uh , remembers loving me . and ... adrienne : and what ? come on ! you know i 'm gon na get it out of you . just spill it ! what ? sonny : [ softly ] he kissed me . adrienne : oh , my gosh ! sonny : do n't go there . do n't go there . i - i do n't know what it meant , okay ? will : i know i probably should not have ... kissed sonny . but my feelings for him ... they came back so suddenly , and ... they 're so strong . eric : let me ask you . are you saying you 're still in love with sonny ? paul : ah , thank you , major nelson . my father will appreciate you trying to help me . [ phone beeps ] okay . he says he 's going to send isa 's whole file on kristen , but he also says that they have nothing on her from the time that she was declared dead . rafe : well , evidently , she 's alive now and still in the vicinity , so maybe this time we will actually nail her . paul : yeah , maybe . rafe : yeah . hey , why do n't you go take a break ? go over to the hospital , be with your dad , brady . paul : yeah . yeah , that 's a good idea . rafe : all right . [ lightly edgy music ] brady : stop ! kristen : [ exhales ] brady : you cut the crap . you tell me where to find my fiancée right now . kristen : [ laughs ] sure ... no problem . you 'll have your fiancée back ... without a mark on her ... after you and i make love . when you 're expecting a little angel , be soft . brady : make love to you ? maybe when hell freezes over , kristen . kristen : [ laughing ] you 're just afraid that i 'm right ... that all your little dalliances are just you trying to forget about me . brady : i have forgotten about you . see , i 'm marrying eve . i 'm in love with eve . i will get my son back , and we 're gon na have a very happy life together . that 's how the story ends . kristen : hmm . well , that key to that life is me . you know the terms . and you do n't have to worry . i 'm not gon na tell eve . [ whispers ] it will just be between you and i . brady : it 's funny . theresa tried this very same crap with me ... kristen : ah ... brady : and i did n't go for it . kristen : you did n't go for it , huh ? well , did theresa have your fiancée at gunpoint ? because , you see , i do . and if you love her the way you claim , you 're gon na do whatever it takes to set her free . john : come on . you saw what kinda shape sami was in . she could n't even string two sentences together . this was all on kristen . belle : no , dad , we were all blindsided . we all thought kristen was dead . sami actually knew . she had the chance to stop this , but she held that gun at you , dad . and she did n't drop it . she did n't pass it off to eric or brady . john : i know , i ca n't explain any of that , but she -- belle : no . you do n't get to let her off the hook . the bottom line is that sami fired that gun because she wanted information on ej . sami : i did n't realize you hated me that much . hope : i do n't hate you . i 'm sick of your selfishness . sami : now , just a minute . hope : kristen is responsible for what happened today . but you aided and abetted her . sami : i went to the wedding to warn my mother that she was there . hope : then kristen told you that ej was alive and knew where he was , so ... all bets were off , and you totally forgot about your mother and john . because all you cared about from that point on ... [ sighs ] was getting what you wanted . sami : you do n't need my statement , hope . it sounds like you already know everything i was thinking and feeling . hope : give me your version . sami : my version is that kristen drugged me ... so that my mind was a fog and my body was moving in slow motion . hope : but you still pulled the trigger . the truth is , sami , that you and i both know that you have never , ever done anything in your life that you did not want to do . and today was absolutely no exception . you said that you wanted to be the one to find kristen . is it so you can make her live up to her end of the bargain ? well , you held up yours -- you shot your mother . and now you want kristen to tell you where ej is . sami : i will never believe that i pulled that trigger . and i wan na get out of here so i can go be by my mother 's side . hope : no . sorry . you 're not going anywhere until you accept responsibility and answer for what you did . sonny : will and i , we were just ... looking at each other in this -- this whole new way . and then susan came staggering in and told us about kristen . so i said i will deal with her and i told will to go back to the wedding . now with this ... news about marlena ... adrienne : everything 's on hold . okay , i get it . i heard you offer to go to the hospital . sonny : yeah . will said i should stay here and keep an eye on susan . what if he decided that he wants to keep me arm 's - length ? eric : so ... you have a chance to tell paul yet ? will : i had a couple minutes with him , but ... i did n't say anything . eric : maybe you just need a chance to clear your head , do some thinking . will : i do n't think that 's gon na happen anytime soon , not until we , you know , find out what 's going on with grandma and find out what mom 's part in this is . eric : i understand that . will : i think the first thing i should do is tell paul , is talk to him . give him an idea of what 's going on with me . paul : hey , what are you talking about ? will : paul ! hi . paul : what 's going on ? with uncontrolled moderate - to - severe eczema , adrienne : honey , i 've got to get back to the paper . marlena 's shooting is gon na be a headline tomorrow , and i want to supervise this personally . sonny : okay . adrienne : listen to me . do n't jump to conclusions about will . let him have a chance to let this sink in , please . sonny : i know . he has a lot to deal with right now . adrienne : exactly . but honey , he has his memory back , and that 's a good thing . i know it is . oh ...

[ scoffs ] melanie : okay , i do n't know you , nicholas . nicholas : and i do n't know you . melanie : right , but i know our mom , and i know how much she loves you and misses you . so my guess is , if you came here to see her and things did n't go so well , it 's not because of her . nicholas : melanie , it 's not that black and white . melanie : it -- did you make things worse ? nicholas : i do n't know , okay , but i 'm leaving , and i 'm sure she 'll be able to recover better without me around . melanie : how the hell could you say that ? nicholas : look , i ca n't turn off my feelings . melanie : but you can turn off being a loyal son ? nicholas : do n't even go there with me . melanie : okay , fine . nicholas : okay , you have no idea who i am . melanie : you 're right . i do n't . all i know about you is what mom 's told me -- that you 're funny , that you 're handsome , and that you 're smart . but she must 've left out the part about you being a completely selfish bastard . dr. norman : you wanted to see me ? carly : do you have any idea what you 've done ? dr. norman : i 'm sorry ? carly : you 're my therapist . you 're not supposed to make things worse ! dr. norman : i 'm sorry you feel that way . carly : my son , you pushed him too far too soon . and i was an idiot for letting it happen , but i had no idea what you were doing . he 's going back to europe . you put distance between us . and i do n't know when or if i 'm gon na see him again . dr. norman : and you blame me for that . carly : yeah , i blame you for that . my boy comes back here , nervous about our tentative relationship , and before he has a chance to get his head on straight , you 're grilling him in some family therapy session . dr. norman : [ sighs ] you have a lot of history to process . carly : oh , nothing 's getting processed . he 's gone ! dr. norman : and i 'm sorry to hear that . i really -- carly : oh , my god ! that 's all you got for me ? dr. norman : carly , it 's -- carly : do you know how long it 's been since i 've seen him , since i 've hugged him , since i 've told him that i love him ? my boy came back to me all on his own , and you ruined that ! you ruined my life ! yummy , yummy , yummy , i got love in my tummy jennifer : mm . i have something that i wan na say . daniel : uh , oh , preamble . jennifer : i just want you to know that the past few months that i have spent with you , they have been really special . daniel : oh . jennifer : what ? daniel : but ... jennifer : no . no , there 's no buts . daniel : no ? jennifer : no . you 're the best . you 're the best guy . you are such a great guy . i mean , you 're successful , you 're -- you 're funny , you 're patient , you 're flippin ' gorgeous . daniel : wow . nice . jennifer : you like that ? flippin ' . daniel : that 's hot . jennifer : well , it 's true . i mean it . and you 're thoughtful . look at this room . look at -- look at this whole romantic setup you have here . you surprise me , and you deliver . you 're kind of perfect . daniel : hardly , but thank you . jennifer : and i just -- i want you to know ... that there is n't anyone else that i would want to be doing this with right now . out of anyone in -- in this world , it 's you . daniel : um , can i ask you one question ? jennifer : yeah . daniel : do you wan na do this with me more than leif garrett ? jennifer : yes , and that 's big . daniel : wow . that 's an honor . jennifer : that 's an honor . daniel : that 's a big honor . jennifer : i know . daniel : ohh . jennifer : hey . daniel : hmm ? jennifer : i love you , daniel jonas . daniel : i love you too .

'cause i promise you , he will not interfere with this . victor : you 're not hearing me , kate . we decline respectfully , and the decision is final . kate : you can overrule this ? brady : i can ... but i wo n't . i 'm sorry , kate . kate : you are making a huge mistake . maggie : kate , i do n't think you 're gon na get them to change their minds . i 'll walk you out . brady : you passed up an amazingly profitable business venture , and i 'd like to know what the hell is wrong with you ? nicholas : okay , listen , sis . you have no idea what i 've been through or how i feel , okay ? so until you step in these shoes for one day , please back off . melanie : okay , listen , bro . this is n't the time to deal with your issues . our mom is fighting for her life . nicholas : okay , do you know how hard it is to live with this , to know that my own mother is responsible for my father 's death ? melanie : no . i ca n't imagine what you must be going through . nicholas : okay , she did n't miss a birthday or -- or not show up to a soccer match . melanie : i know . nicholas : all right ? this basic trust that i had with her , it 's gone , all right ? and everything i used to think , i ca n't think that anymore . melanie : was she good to you growing up ? nicholas : of course . she -- she was an amazing mother . i did n't have her till i was 12 or so , but , i mean , she made up for it every day that we spent together afterward . melanie : i did n't get her till i was much older . nicholas : i know . melanie : because your dad made her give me up . see , i grew up in a terrible household with a despicable man who tried to break me down and almost did . and because my mom did what your dad told her to , i missed out on a whole childhood of her love and my real father 's love , who 's an amazing man that i did n't get to meet until just recently . you may be okay right now , nicholas , but life has this funny way of changing on a dime , and when yours does , our mom is the best person to have on your side . forgiving her is the best thing i ever did . and you could have that too . nicholas : what if i ca n't ? melanie : your dad is gone . okay ? nothing you do or say will ever bring him back . and do you wan na lose your mom too ? carly : i am furious with you ! and i 'm blaming you for losing nicholas . [ sighs ] it 's my fault . i - i 'm the one who 's in rehab . i 'm the one who killed his father . dr. norman : he still has a lot of his past he has to deal with . you 're here confronting yours . maybe in time the two of you will be closer to being on the same page . carly : it was easier before he came here . honestly . i mean , i missed him terribly , but seeing him and having him tell me that he -- he ca n't even be near me , i 'm not strong enough . dr. norman : you are a very , very strong woman -- carly : no , i used to be . i 'm not anymore . i 'm weak . that 's why i 'm here . dr. norman : well , then we 're gon na work on knowing your strengths and dealing with your weaknesses . that is exactly what therapy is , what it can provide . carly : i 'm done . dr. norman : what do you mean ?

i 'm gon na start using again ? dr. norman : i would fear that , yes . carly : i do n't care . nicholas : i do . remember when i was a kid and i hated to lose ? i would always ask you ... both : for a do - over . nicholas : can i have one now ?

then you do n't have to be involved at all . help me . ej : what do you think i 'm trying to do ? sami : i do n't know ! i do n't know because i am trapped in here . and you are out there ! and i think about it all the time , all the ways i could possibly get out of here . but this is the only lifeboat in sight . it is the only deal . if you wo n't let me give them stefano , then you will have to . ej : all right , so we both go to prison , all right ? i get what ? 20 years ? life ? sami : i do n't think it will happen that way . ej : that is exactly what is gon na happen , samantha , exactly what 's gon na happen ! you and i both go to prison , except you get out a hell of a lot earlier than i do ! that works well for you , does n't it ? sami : this is not what i want . ej : well , that 's the deal you made . sami : not yet . ej : when was it exactly that you decided that this was the way to go ? sami : you heard what justin and that expert said about jury selection . i do n't have a chance at trial . what was i supposed to do ?

[ laughs softly ] mm . kristen toyed with sami . i felt it -- anger and desperation . thinking that the love of your life is out there somewhere , and someone is keeping them from you for their own personal reasons is -- it 's not cruel . it 's evil . jennifer : no , you 're right . there is no justification for what kristen did . there is no justification for anybody who would keep two people apart who are meant to be together . paul : okay , dad , okay . call me if anything changes . love you . hope : how 's marlena ? paul : oh , she 's still in surgery . hey , my dad has n't seen brady at the hospital . neither has anyone else . hope : can you reach him by phone ? paul : no , and he 's not answering any of my texts . hope : you know , what happened at the wedding was incredibly upsetting . maybe he went -- brady probably just needed a little time . paul : okay , that makes total sense . he probably wanted to go back and shower and change before heading to the hospital . hope : yeah . paul : i 'm a -- i 'm still gon na swing by the inn just to check on them . hope : of course . let me know if you hear from them , okay ? paul : okay , thank you . hope : bye . susan : all right , how could samantha brady shoot her own mama ? will : susan , come on . can you cool it , please ? sami 's my mom . susan : yeah , but she sicced a serial killer on you -- sonny : okay , hey , hey -- is there any word on marlena ? will : she 's still in surgery . this is not sami 's fault , okay ? kristen made her pull the trigger . susan : how can you make someone pull the trigger ? will : kristen would take her to ej , who 's dead ? paul : i think kristen thought that it would be more fun if sami shot john and marlena had to watch him die . will : and are you sure that she was -- that -- she was really going to , like , actually going to shoot john ? paul : she was in the motion of turning and that 's when eric tackled her , and then the gun went off . will : i do n't -- that 's why i do n't think she could -- i do n't think she could do that . paul : well , with the drugs ? will : [ scoffs ] paul : okay , and , i mean , what if sami really believes that kristen was gon na take her to ej ? the guy was the love of her life . and if he 's alive -- i mean , you are , right ? i mean , who knows . i mean , that 's -- just that promise alone , it 's a pretty powerful motivation for sami wanting to pull the trigger . will : you know how conniving kristen can be . susan : yeah , yeah , yeah . that is true . i mean , she can be a bit of a sneaky pete , okay ? you know , i got ta get to the hospital . will : what ? susan : marlena needs me . sonny : no , no , no , i do n't -- susan , i do n't think that 's a good idea . susan : but john needs me too . will : john 's with his family right now . but you know what you can do for them is maybe you can go up and pray . susan : well , yeah . i could do that . i could say a rosary . i 'm gon na do that . that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . will : okay . sonny : [ sighs ] i know . i 'm really sorry . i did n't mean to , like , set her off or anything . will : trust me , it 's not your fault . sonny : how did kristen make sami shoot marlena ? will : kristen told sami that if she shot john , she would lead her to ej -- a living , breathing ej . sonny : ej 's alive ? will : i do n't know . who knows . but i 'm not gon na say a word to susan about it . i do n't want her getting her hopes up that her real son might be alive . sonny : you 're alive . will : i mean , yeah , but , everybody knows kristen dimera ca n't be trusted . kristen : stop fighting it . you know we 're a perfect fit . look , remember when we 'd touch , when we 'd kiss -- no other woman can satisfy you like i can . let me show you . brady : no , no . kristen : yes , brady . yes . make love to me . now .

[ scene_break ] sami : okay , you two , i 'm sorry , but i have to get going . i have a lot of stuff to do for the wedding . lucas : come on , you 're not gon na celebrate with us ? sami : i want to , but i ca n't . it 's the new me -- i have to be the responsible one . lucas : all right . i guess we 'll just have to celebrate alone . sami : [ chuckles ] do n't celebrate too hard . it 's okay with you , is n't it ? will : yeah , sure . it 's for a good cause . sami : it definitely is for a good cause because now we are going to have the wedding that is gon na be the best day of our lives , and you heard it here first . bye . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] will : dad ? lucas : hmm ? will : do you think mom 's being honest with us this time , that she 's not keeping any secrets ? lucas : i do think she 's being honest , buddy , or else i would n't be marrying her . will : well , good . lucas : what else is on your mind ? what do you want to tell me ? will : i do n't know . it 's just , you know mom 's history when it comes to weddings . lucas : i do all too well , yeah . will : they all blow up in her face , like last time . lucas : yeah , but last time was n't her fault . you remember that . what happened last time was your grandmother 's fault , not your mother 's . [ scene_break ] roman : wow . kate ... you really do n't get it , do you ? no matter what sami may or may not have done , since your stunt to destroy her life , it does n't matter . kate : it does n't matter ? roman : not as far as i 'm concerned . kate : [ scoffs ] because ... roman : because ... you hurt my daughter . and then you lied to me about it . kate , you broke your promise to me in the ugliest way possible . so , no , you and i are not gon na reconcile . and that 's why i 've asked mickey to move this divorce along as quickly as possible . sami : [ thinking ] if my luck holds out just a little while longer and i can help tony escape , i swear i 'll never do anything bad again .

lexie : yes , and a third and a fourth , whatever it takes for you to get the best medical care possible . what are you thinking ? sami : i 'm thinking about my kids . i 'm thinking that i ca n't have cancer , because my kids need me . rafe : sami , sami . even if this is the worst - case scenario , w - we can beat this . sami , we can beat this , right ? am i right ? we can beat this . the odds are in our favor . chloe : and after that happened , uh , his father got full custody and left town with him . eliot : i 'm sorry . chloe : me too . well , um , i have a friend , an attorney , who 's helping me , and he said as long as i can establish residency and show a certain income and be able to prove to child welfare that i 'm fit , then we start with visitations and eventually move to joint custody . eliot : well , you just be careful out there . this guy , this one who 's attacking the prostitutes , he -- i am so sorry . chloe : do n't be . it 's what i am . eliot : no . no . you 're not . you 're just a mother who 's trying to help her kid . uh , thank you . and , lola ... chloe : yeah ?

[ laughter ] chad : yeah , well , it does n't change -- look , imagine -- imagine how satisfying it would be , the daughter of john and marlena , to say that you helped legitimize the dimera name . belle : you think that 's really possible ? chad : well , if anyone can go legit , i can . and it ... and it 's time . and i want to do it , and i need to do it for abby . and i 'm fairly certain she would approve of my choice . belle : all right . i 'll think about it . but first , i think we need to clean up this mess . chad : okay . belle : where to start ...

[ chuckles ] well , at least when you and i were in the operating room , i was n't thinking about joey every single second , you know , worrying about his safety in there or ... what his life would be like when he gets out . and the thing is , you know , i just ... i was just always able to fix things for my kids , you know ? and even now that they 've grown up , i could still help a little , you know ? like ... i could comfort them , or give them advice . valerie : yeah . kayla : but now i -- you know , i do n't -- i do n't know if joey 's even gon na ever have a normal life , or -- or if he 'll have any kind of life at all , and ... there is nothing , nothing i can do about it . [ sighs softly ] tripp : this was a mistake . i should go . steve : no , no , no . wait . hold up . [ sighs ] listen . i admit , it 's painful for me . it 's been a tough time for all of us . but you are my son ... and i wo n't abandon you . i love you . i always will . nothing can change that . thorpe : ms. walker , the last time you appeared before me , i made it clear that if you wanted custody of your daughter , you would have to be a model citizen . nicole : i have , your honor . i -- i 've done everything i can to prove that i will be a good mother . thorpe : have you ? because there have been some very serious allegations made about you . brady : your honor , i do n't -- i do n't know what you 've heard , but -- justin : brady . brady , brady . let him finish . nicole : what have you heard ? thorpe : that you violated the court order to stay away from holly . nicole : court order ? thorpe : according to her foster mother , you approached the child in the town square and then lied about your identity and picked her up . justin : your honor -- brady : your honor , the woman is mistaken . she would never go near holly . she knows that she can't . she would never jeopardize her chance at custody . is n't that right ? nicole : no , brady , um ... it 's true . i was there with holly . lani : what are you doing ? jj : i told raines we were meeting with a witness and could n't be disturbed . thought maybe we would have ourselves a picnic . lani : [ laughs ] here ? in the interrogation room ? jj : yeah , it 's lovely this time of year . lani : right , when we 're not , you know , interrogating criminals ? jj : you know what , i was gon na bring candles , but i thought they might set off the sprinklers . why are you looking at me like that ? lani : because you 're weird . and amazing . [ soft music ] have i told you how grateful i am to have you in my life ? jj : i could always hear it again . lani : my whole life , i 've been ... attracted to the wrong guys . guys who were n't interested in me ... who were selfish and did n't treat me well . jj : and what about before , when you probably thought i was another one of those guys ? lani : but i was wrong about you . and i 've never been so happy to be wrong . claire : it 's just clickbait , theo . it does n't mean anything . theo : yeah , but people believe this crap . they think my dad 's a criminal . claire : well , what do you think ? theo : he 's not just my dad . he 's my hero . you know , i know he 's a good person . claire : yeah , then you should n't doubt him . theo : so you think he 's innocent ? claire : well , i think that you 're the most honest person i know , so if you believe him ... then that 's good enough for me . valerie : [ chuckles ] kayla , i -- i do n't know all the facts , but i think it 's admirable that joey stepped up and took responsibility for his actions . kayla : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm proud of him for doing that . it just -- it just did n't need to be like that . valerie : you raised a good son . and prayerfully , he will make it out of prison and be a better person for it . kayla : thank you for saying that . valerie : [ softly ] yeah . kayla : it 's a tough time for all of us . valerie : no , especially for you and steve . i would n't dare compare what i 'm going through with abe to your situation . it 's good you guys have each other to lean on . kayla : yeah . valerie : i do n't mean to pry , but , kayla , the look on your face -- i mean , are you and steve okay ? tripp : uh ... well , thank you for understanding . steve : well , like i said , you 're my son . i love you unconditionally . that 's how it works . tripp : and your other son ? how is -- how is he doing ? steve : joe 's doing okay . he 's ... he 's hanging in there . tripp : i hope so . you know , before he left , we had a pretty good talk . i 'm gon na miss my brother . steve : yeah , you two got pretty close , i know . tripp : yeah . and i feel so terrible that he 's not here and that i am , and ... especially after what he went through , and what he must be going through now , it 's just -- steve : you did n't cause any of that , tripp . tripp : yeah , but if it were n't for me -- steve : you did n't cause any of it . tripp : okay , but ... i still caused a problem between you and kayla , i know that . i just hope i did n't ruin your marriage . [ dramatic music ] nicole : when i went to the square , i had no idea i would get that close to holly . thorpe : but you knew she 'd be there ? nicole : yes . i swear , i was only gon na watch her from a distance . i had no intention of breaking the court order . thorpe : and yet you did . nicole : holly was left alone with her foster sister . holly started to cry , and the little girl did n't know what to do . she panicked . so yes , i picked her up , and i held her in my arms , because that 's what you do when your baby is sad and crying . i am deeply sorry for breaking the rules , but i wo n't apologize for loving my little girl . thorpe : i understand the sentiment , ms . walker , but the law is the law , and feelings do n't come into play . brady : that 's not fair , judge . how -- how can feelings not come into play when you 're talking about the love of a daughter and a mother ? thorpe : bottom line , when you violated the court order , you may have cost yourself the chance to get your daughter back . oscar mayer deli fresh ham has no added nitrates , claire : okay . you pick the game . theo : i , uh -- i do n't think i could concentrate . all i can think about is my dad . claire : theo ... theo : you know , if he -- if he goes away , i wo n't have either of my parents around . i 'm gon na be all alone . claire : but that 's not -- that 's not true . theo : and if -- if i screw up , no one 's gon na be there to help me . no one to decorate the christmas tree with , no one to take me out for my birthday . damn it ! claire : what ? theo : i -- i should n't be feeling for myself . i hate it , okay ? i 'm not the one going through hell . my dad is . claire : stop . you 've got to stop beating yourself up for feeling worried and upset . and even for feeling sorry for yourself . you 're allowed to do that ... especially around me . come on , theo , do you really think that you 'd have no one , even if your dad was n't around ? which , by the way , he will be . look . okay . i guess what i 'm really trying to say is that -- i mean , you do have people who care about you and love you . like lani ... and like brandon . and me . valerie : kayla , listen . you do n't have to share anything with me that you do n't want to . kayla : you know , when you and i were in that operating room together , we functioned as a team . we had to . one goal , both partners moving in the same direction . my marriage to steve was like that . valerie : and now it 's not anymore ? kayla : we had a difference of opinion ... about something very important , obviously . valerie : about joey turning himself in ? kayla : right . i mean , we came to an understanding , but even so , i ... ever since then , things have n't been the same . valerie : you blame him ? kayla : steve could have stopped joey from confessing . and he did n't do that . and i ca n't help but feel that he -- he chose his own son over ours . steve : kayla and i are gon na be okay . we 've been through tough times before . we probably will be again . tripp : yeah , but every time she sees my face , she 's just gon na think of joey in prison . steve : yeah . well , it wo n't be easy . tripp : i swear , i -- i never wanted it to go down like this . steve : you are n't the reason joe 's in prison . from the moment it happened , he 's been tortured with guilt for taking your mother 's life . and it killed me to see him go to prison . but i understand why he had to confess . tripp : yeah , well , kayla doesn't . i mean , i know she said she does , but that was just after joey made his case over and over again about why he needed to confess ... but i think that was just for his benefit , you know ? steve : she 's his mother . she 's going through a hard time . tripp : kayla 's a ... she 's a good person . i mean , she welcomed me into the family . she helped me with my dream of becoming a doctor . you 're both good people . that 's why you said you 'd never send me away . but you should n't have to choose between the two of us . i should just do everyone a favor and just leave salem for good . brady : with all due respect , your honor , what did you expect nicole to do , just walk away from her daughter ? thorpe : mr. black , you have spoken out of turn quite enough . brady : but seriously , i mean , what kind of -- no , what kind of person would do -- nicole : brady , it 's okay -- justin : your honor . your honor , nicole 's honesty today should be commended . for the foster mother to leave a child alone with a 12-year - old , it 's -- thorpe : we are not here to rule on the judgment of the foster mother . justin : well , it seems relevant to me . thorpe : mr. kiriakis , would you like to present any more evidence before i make my ruling ? justin : [ sighs ] yes , your honor . this is eric brady . he was nicole 's supervisor at the horton center . thorpe : go ahead , mr . brady . eric : your honor , when ms . walker was assigned to do her community service at the center ... well , she and i , we had a complicated history , and i knew she would n't be thrilled to be there . but i can say without any hesitation , she 's only been a godsend . before she arrived , the center would struggle to even stay open . she 's single - handedly raised enough money to keep the lights on . the center 's only a better place because of her . she 's a caring , compassionate woman , which makes her a great worker and a great mother , so i 'm only asking you , your honor ... give her a chance to be a mother . thorpe : thank you , mr . brady . i 'm gon na need more time to consider all of this . let 's take a half hour break , after which i will render my decision . [ dramatic music ] nicole : that judge has it in for me . i could see it in his eyes , and so does justin . that 's why he 's not here . eric : no , no . justin had a call to take . do n't read too much into it . nicole : brady . i - i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry i did n't tell you about seeing holly . brady : yeah , why -- why did n't you ? nicole : well , there was so much going on , and we thought we had convinced the foster mom it was n't me . brady : whoa , whoa . `` we `` ? nicole : eric was there . brady : oh . eric : i was just passing through . i did my best to clean it up . brady : did n't do much good , did it ? nicole : brady . brady : listen , thank you for what you said today . i hope it had an effect on the judge . eric : yeah , me too . nicole : no . we 're acting like this is a fair trial . this whole thing is a joke . deimos paid off the judge . eric : nicole , deimos is gone . we just have to have faith that judge thorpe is gon na do what 's right . nicole : wait , where are you going ? brady : there 's something i got to do . nicole : well , you 'll be back when the judge calls us , right ? brady : yeah . jj : you know what i keep thinking ? lani : i would love to hear . jj : i wish we could just -- we could go back and -- and delete that night in miami . you know , the night all of this started . you and me , i mean . lani : right . i wish that too . jj : and then we could -- we could totally just -- just redo that night , you know ? and -- and have us get together in ... i do n't know . the most perfect , romantic way . lani : so let 's just make up a story we like better . how 's this ? i fell off a fishing boat , and you found me washed up on the shore and saved my life . jj : what were you doing on a fishing boat ? lani : [ laughs ] i do n't know . just go with it . jj : okay , okay , okay . lani : [ chuckles ] jj : how about ... i snuck on board a giant ocean liner and took you away from your evil fiancé ? lani : [ chuckles ] okay , a , that was `` titanic , `` and spoiler alert , he dies at the end . jj : ah ... lani : and b , you copied my boat idea . jj : okay , well , that 's why i 'm a cop , not a writer . lani : okay . try this . we were partners who fell for each other and shared a romantic kiss on a picnic in the interrogation room . jj : yeah , that sounds good too . lani : and ... it 's the truth . valerie : i should check out . i 've got to meet with justin about abe 's case . kayla : let us know if you need anything , all right ? and please tell abe we 're pulling for him . valerie : no , absolutely i will . thank you . kayla : well , i 'll see you tomorrow , then . valerie : yeah . hey , listen , what are you doing tonight ? kayla : tonight ? valerie : yeah , i -- this should n't be long . and , um , maybe we can go grab some dinner later . kayla : that 's very sweet of you , but honestly , i am so tired . i 'm gon na go home and have a -- have a quiet night . valerie : sure . i understand . well , text me if you change your mind . kayla : okay . valerie : listen . try not to be so hard on steve . you guys really need each other now . kayla : you know , val -- valerie : listen , he 's a tough , proud guy , but he 's suffering too . take care . kayla : thanks . yeah . steve : you know , it scares me sometimes how much you remind me of myself . tripp : i do n't know about that . steve : trust me . we johnsons seem to have a natural instinct to run away from our problems . i think it 's in the blood . tripp : i 'm not running away . steve : that 's exactly what you 're doing . you think you 'll make it easier on everybody if you disappear , but take it from me , it 'll just make everything worse . tripp : yeah , but look at all the trouble i 've already caused . steve : so you think that things will get magically better if you leave ? tripp : kayla wo n't have to see my face every day . 'cause i 'm just a constant reminder ... steve : yeah , you are a constant reminder . you remind me of how unpredictable life is . and how we should live in the moment and never take anything for granted . and how sometimes the most amazing things that happen are the ones you never see coming . i want you to stay , tripp . and i know it 's gon na be a lot of work , but i -- i think that you can find a way to regain kayla 's trust . tripp : you do ? steve : yeah . and i 'll help you , if you let me . tripp : okay . i 'll stay . steve : good . i 'm glad to hear it . tripp : you know what , i 'm gon na work my ass off to regain that trust ... okay ? from everyone . in fact ... i think i might have an idea to help me take that first step . claire : okay . my grandma says that everything in life makes more sense if you start with a clean house . theo : mm , i do n't get that . claire : well , i do . i mean , if your life is a mess , why would you want your room to be one too ? theo : yeah , maybe she 's ... claire : what is it ? theo : it 's joey 's hat . claire : oh . theo : man , i miss having him around . claire : i know . me too . theo : what do you think about what he did ? claire : i do n't know . i think he must 've been really scared and confused . theo : yeah . i mean , he was living with that secret for a long time . it got harder to keep when tripp was around . i just hope he comes home soon . claire : me too . theo : but until then , we are stuck with an expensive apartment that was meant to be split four ways . claire : yeah , did n't ciara say that she was coming home for school in the fall ? theo : well , i have n't heard from her . and steve and kayla offered to help , but i do n't want to take their money . we need a new roommate . claire : what about tripp ? theo : tripp ? why would he want to move in with us ? he has his own place . claire : well , jade 's not around , and he 's going through a really rough time right now . he might not want to be alone . theo : you 've been thinking about this ? claire : no . i mean , i ... theo : you been thinking about tripp a lot lately ? claire : he 's a good guy . theo : well , i 'm not sure . i mean , i do n't know the details , but he did try and hurt joey 's family . claire : no , no , it 's not like that . tripp just wanted to figure out a lot of stuff about his mom and steve , and he made a mistake . theo : did he talk to you about this ? claire : yes , and he feels awful about what he did . theo : is this when you two were hugging ? claire : yeah , he was upset . he opened up to me . it was nothing . theo : did n't look like nothing to me . claire : why do you care ? wait . are you jealous ? [ dramatic music ] tripp : see that ? that 's all the money i have in the bank . steve : that 's a whole lot of zeroes . tripp : but i do n't want it anymore . i do n't want my mom 's inheritance . steve : well , ava 's family is not gon na be too happy if you try to give it back . tripp : i 'm not gon na give it back . i want to do something good with this money . so i 'm going to donate it to salem university hospital . steve : all of it ? tripp : every last cent . you were right , it 's -- it 's blood money . i 'm sorry that i did n't realize that until now . steve : you sure about this ? tripp : i went into the system , and i changed kayla 's patient files . i could 've -- i could 've killed somebody . steve : yeah , you could have . tripp : and i caused that hospital a lot of trouble . i owe everyone there . but mostly -- but mostly i owe kayla . she did n't deserve any of what i did to her . and i know that it wo n't make up for everything , but ... it 's a start . what do you think ? steve : i think it 's an incredible gesture , son . and a hell of a good start . nicole : [ sighs ] did brady seem okay to you ? eric : yeah , he seemed worried about you . nicole : i do n't think he was happy about hearing we were together the day i saw holly . eric : it 's not like we planned it . nicole : well , would you believe that if you were brady ? eric : nicole , you ca n't worry about that right now , all right ? you were honest with him , just like you were honest with the judge . nicole : yeah , i do n't think that was a great idea either . eric : it 's always better to be honest , nicole . i 'm proud of you . i 'm proud of you for standing up for yourself . nicole : being honest is new for me . it does n't come easy . i 've told so many lies through the years . i 've hurt so many people . it 's coming back on me now . eric : no , i do n't think that 's true . i think you 've made up for all your mistakes in your past . nicole : that 's not exactly true . eric : what do you mean ? [ knocks at door ] thorpe : mr. black , i have n't called you back yet . brady : i know . i 'm here on my own . thorpe : this is highly irregular . brady : tell me about it . judge , you and i need to have a man - to - man talk . thorpe : if this is about the custody hearing , i can not discuss that with you . brady : yes , you can . yes , you can , because here 's the thing . you are going to give nicole walker back her daughter , or i will destroy you . thorpe : who do you think you are , coming in here and threatening me ? i can have you thrown in jail . brady : i know that you took a bribe from my uncle deimos to keep holly away from her mother .

[ scene_break ] patrick : oh , that 's it . defend max and blame me . just remember one thing -- i did n't take chelsea to that sleazy motel . frankie : jack , i 'm not saying max is a saint . jack : i 'm not , either . i 'm not , either . but compared to lockhart -- look , that 's why i dragged you all the way over here -- to look at him , to see how he lives off other people . he ca n't wait to live off my family . frankie : jack , jack . patrick : what are you guys talking about ? [ scene_break ] jennifer : hope , what frankie and i had together -- what we shared -- was 20 years ago . that was a long time ago . hope : you sure about that ? jennifer : yes . and -- it 's wonderful to have all of those memories to share , and it 's wonderful to share them with a close friend , but that 's what we are right now . we are really close friends . there is nothing romantic between us anymore . there ca n't be . hope : because you love jack . jennifer : yes , he 's my husband . and what we have is forever . frankie was at our wedding , remember ? hope : it 's just that when it comes to exes , a spark in one can rekindle a flame in the other . jennifer : okay , are we still talking about frankie and me , or is this about bo and billie ? hope : no , no . jennifer : you are worried about them , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] billie : stop it ! stop it , both of you ! bo : i 'm gon na stop him from bringing our daughter to a place like this again . max : if you 'd just let me explain for a minute , i 'll tell you why i brought her here . bo : i know why . max : no , you do n't . she was upset . she did n't want to be around either one of you , so i brought her here . i did n't take advantage of her . they just did n't have a room with two beds . bo , i slept on the floor . and then i wanted to get two rooms , but chelsea wanted me close by . nothing happened . bo : nothing . max : i swear , bo . and she 's not taking the news that you 're her parents well at all . she 's furious , especially with you . billie : well -- i - i 'm gon na find a way to get through to her . max : you got your work cut out for you . chelsea does n't want to accept that the benson 's were n't her real biological parents , and who can blame her ? they 're the only real parents she ever knew . and then to find out that her real birth mother is the woman that she hates the most in this entire world .

[ laughs ] there we go . yee - haw , little lady . do i have something for you from cowboy barto . sami : yeah , thanks . bart : and i 'm sure that -- oops [ laughs ] you got something for cowboy barto yourself . sami : yeah , i do . it 's the time and date of tony 's transfer to the maximum- security prison . bart : it 's a real deal ? sami : yes , it 's a real deal . it came off my dad 's computer . bart : no one saw you get it , right ? sami : you think i want anyone to know that i 'm helping tony dimera escape from jail ? bart : frankly , sami , i have no idea how your mind works , but i 'll tell you something . tony knows , but your logic deludes me . sami : `` eludes . `` bart : huh ? sami : never mind . the point is , i do n't want to get caught , and i got to tell you , kate roberts has been hanging around a lot lately . bart : i thought she was kate brady now . sami : it 's gon na change soon . the point is , she 's been lurking around watching me , and i think she 's suspicious . did tony say anything to her ? bart : no , tony did n't . that 's not his style , all right ? that is not his style . relax . kate 's just fishing . sami : well , i think she knew something . bart : take it from cowboy barto . she did n't know anything , all right ? and if this works and if the boss is freed , then we 'll make sure kate never hooks anything . but if it does n't work , all bets are off . [ chuckles ] that 's second outfit . [ scene_break ] kate : [ sighs ] [ slams table ] damn her . i am not going to let sami ruin lucas ' life . marc : so , the d.o.c . needs the time and place of dimera 's transfer so they can be ready for him . roman : i know that . all right , detective adams , i trust you . you 're a good detective , but this goes no further . the information on my computer is bogus . marc : how come ? roman : because it 's a no - brainer that dimera 's operatives are gon na try to free him , and the logical time to do that is during the transfer to maximum security . that 's our weakest link . but to plan it , they need specifics . so i 'm guessing that somebody from their organization is gon na try to hack into my computer and get it . marc : you set a trap with phony info . roman : if tony gets it , it 's not gon na do him a damn bit of good , but it may help us lock up a few of his cohorts . [ scene_break ] sami : i know better than to try to double - cross tony , so i got you the real information . that is the time and date of tony 's transfer order . so that 's it -- no more favors . no one finds out that i was stan , especially kate , right ? bart : [ chuckling ] [ scene_break ] roman : you see , i 've got the real information about tony 's transfer on an encrypted disk safely hidden away . it took us too long to find that damn bastard . i 'm not gon na take any chances on losing him now . marc : you really think the dimeras can infiltrate our computer system ? roman : when it comes to the dimeras , believe me , anything is possible . but if they hack in , it wo n't do them any good . tony is gon na be successfully transferred at a different place and a different time , and whoever stole that information will be arrested . [ scene_break ] bart : like i said , if this `` get out of jail free `` card works and the boss is sprung , then you 're in the clear . sami : for good ? bart : hey , take it from cowboy bart -- you 'll be able to breathe easier . [ scene_break ] lucas : hey , what took you so long ? i got worried . sami : oh , i just wanted to buy this for will -- you know , surprise him or something . lucas : that 's cool .

[ scene_break ] max : i 'm sorry to upset you . i really do like you , billie , but there 's no easy way to say this . chelsea does n't want anything to do with you . billie : no . no , not after all these years . bo : max , why do n't you let us talk to chelsea alone ? max : okay . good luck , 'cause you 're gon na need it . chelsea : you 're a bad boy , max . i got everything all hot and steamy for you , but you never -- oh , my god ! what the hell are you two doing here ? !

[ scene_break ] nicole : stefano , it 's not like i had anything to say about it . stefano : this is impossible . baker sent the letter to his lawyer ? nicole : yes . that 's -- that 's what he said . and i believe him . stefano : no . nicole : he said that the lawyer would bring it to the police if baker told him to , or the second he found out baker was dead . he said it spells out everything . my -- my miscarriage , how i got the baby from mia and then switched hers with sami 's . the whole cover - up . everything . stefano : why in god 's name did you not tell me ?

[ scene_break ] kate : time for the last good - bye , chloe . [ scene_break ] rafe : but ... i do n't get it . how did you know that baker was gon na be here ? sami : i told you , he called me . rafe : yeah , you said he said something about letting his patients know that he was moving or something ? sami : right . it was ridiculous . totally lame . but before he came up with that stupid excuse , he told me that he had something really important he wanted to say to me . rafe : about what ? sami : about grace . rafe : oh . that 's interesting . sami : i thought he was offering his condolences . but he did n't even know that -- that she was gone . so when i told him , that 's when he started acting all crazy . and he started making excuses , and then he just hung up the phone . rafe : just like that ? sami : but it does n't make any sense . why would he want to tell me that he 'd moved ? what do i care ? rafe : um ... you would n't ? sami : exactly . so that 's when i started thinking maybe he was calling to apologize . maybe -- maybe he was gon na explain something to me . rafe : about what ? sami : about grace ? i mean , i know it was a virus , but -- but maybe something happened in the clinic that made her more susceptible , you know ? rafe : yeah , it could be . sami : i told nicole , asked her what she thought about him calling me . rafe : what 'd she say ? sami : she told me that she thinks he 's troubled , and that i should stay away from him . rafe : but you did n't , did you ? sami : not at first . i thought she was right . but then -- but then i realized i could n't . i had to talk to him . rafe : did you talk to him ? sami : no . i called him and i left a message . he did n't answer , so i told him to call me back . and that 's when i was at the brady pub . i talked to pete , and i found out you were coming to the dominican republic , and ... and that clinched it for me . i -- i realized you must be suspicious . and i thought maybe you had ... real evidence . so do you ? do you have evidence against dr. baker about -- about grace ? [ scene_break ] nicole : stefano , i did n't tell you about the letter because i thought baker was out of my life . stefano : he was calling you ? hmm ? he was threatening you ? you came to me for blackmail money , and you thought he was out of your life ? nicole : yes , but i had no -- stefano : what the hell did you think i was going to do , huh ? let him destroy my family ? la mia famiglia ? nicole : stefano , shh . stefano : that i was just gon na stand by , of course , and then see him destroy my son 's happiness , right ? just blow it to dust -- is that what you think ? why do n't you use your head once in a while ? nicole : i know , i should have told you . stefano : you should have told -- look , you should have , you should have . a lot of `` should haves , `` you . forget about it . all your lies , everything that you have done is now going to become public knowledge . nicole : oh , my god . stefano : i 'm sure that that letter is on its way to the authorities as we speak . nicole : well , is n't there a way we could stop it ?

[ scene_break ] rafe : actually , coming down to the dominican republic was ... it was weird . i got a call from baker myself . sami : what , really ? rafe : yeah . i do n't know , i did n't expect it either . especially because i was the one that ran him out of town . sami : so you were gon na find him and -- and make him talk ? rafe : yeah , ask him some questions , get some answers . i certainly did n't expect to see him dead . sami : so who do you think killed him ? [ scene_break ] stefano : yes , well , things are not always what we expect them to be . nicole : what was that about ? stefano : our good friend hernandez went to the dominican republic to confront baker . nicole : what ? did he say anything ? does he know you sent people down there ? stefano : let me finish ! i knew that hernandez was on his way there , so i had set up a thing that there would be an accident while he was in baker 's room . nicole : rafe 's dead too ? stefano : oh , damn it , woman ! nicole : okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i 'm just upset . i mean , everything 's falling apart around me . stefano : all right , just keep quiet . listen and learn , all right ? i planted some evidence that would implicate hernandez in baker 's death . nicole : oh . clever . stefano : yes , but the only problem is he left the country before he could be captured . ah , so ... [ chuckles ] who knows now what evidence he found on baker ? nicole : evidence of what ? stefano : evidence that leads to you , that 's what ! nicole : oh , my god . you know , i -- i 've had horrible nightmares ... about this day , but i was always so glad when i woke up . stefano : yes , of course . huh ? all about nicole , right ? nicole this , nicole that , huh ? what about me ? you ever think about that ? what is going to happen when elvis finds out that i 've been helping you ? huh ? that i have lied to him . i 'll tell you what is going to happen . my only son is going to despise me . nicole : i 'm supposed to feel sorry for you because your son wo n't worship you anymore ? i 'm about to lose my entire family ! stefano : you know something , you can take your little pity and shove it ! you understand ? you 've got to think . we have got to stop that letter before it even gets mailed . [ sighs ] give me the lawyer 's name . nicole : i do n't -- i do n't know who he is . i do n't know anything about him . stefano : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] lucas : you know , for a student nurse , you sure ask a lot of questions that are none of your business . melanie : oh , i 'm just curious . you know , as a nursing student , we 're actually -- we are taking a class called `` issues in ... trends , `` and we 're studying patients and families in situations like yours , and how they make their decision -- come to terms with -- with everything . i just , uh -- i know it 's really hard ... for you . lucas : oh , really , is that a fact ? melanie : yeah . hey , if you do n't want to talk about it , it 's -- it 's whatever . lucas : no , i just said it was none of your business . melanie : yeah , no , that 's -- that 's completely fine . i respect that . and i 'll probably find out what your decision is in a little while anyways . lucas : you 're ridiculous . you do n't know when to quit , do you ?

[ scene_break ] nathan : you , uh , uh -- i 'm sorry , miss roberts . sometimes i 'm not clear about what i mean . of course you can go in . just not right now . see , uh , i have to examine chloe and take a few notes , and then you can come right in . lucas : okay . kate : okay , well , do what you need to do . we need to give dr. horton a few minutes before we say our final good - byes . lucas : all right . [ scene_break ] brady : i honestly did n't think there was anyone home . arianna : hey , do n't worry about it , okay ? it was n't embarrassing in the least . brady : no , i 'm sorry . really , i 'm sorry . arianna : hey , no , it 's fine . do n't worry , okay ? hey , we 're presentable now , right ? brady : yeah . not for long , though . arianna : uh - uh . uh - uh . nope . brady : what , what , what ? arianna : i got ta go . i should get going , yep . brady : no , you should stay . arianna : i 'm going . what if your grandfather comes back ? brady : it wo n't matter because we 're gon na be in my room . [ scene_break ] rafe : well , it 's not hard to guess who killed baker . the man ran up huge gambling debts . bookies , loan sharks ... they 're not nice people . sami : i did n't think they really killed people , though , right ? i mean , they ca n't collect your money if they 're dead . rafe : well , it 's a rough world out there . sometimes the threatening thing gets a little out of hand , you know ? sami : so you think they killed him by accident ? rafe : maybe . maybe not . the point is he was dead , so they needed a fall guy . i show up , and they try and make it look like i did it . sami : i guess that seems logical . rafe : yeah . sami : is that -- is that what you really think happened ? rafe : what do you mean ? sami : i do n't know . i guess i just keep feeling like you 're ... not telling me something . is there someone else involved with this ? [ scene_break ] stefano : hello , darling . i , uh -- i need help , quickly . yes , um , a dr. richard baker was a patient in the hospital in ... nicole : may . stefano : in may , yes . and he had a visitor , a lawyer . i need that man 's name . yes , yes , i 'll wait . he fell here in the mansion , and they kept him overnight for observation . stefano : oh , yes . uh - huh . thank you , my love . yes . believe me , a lovely gift is already on its way . nicole : so you got his name ? stefano : i have a job for you . use as many men as you need because this is urgent . i want you to find a william hynes ... h - y - n - e - s. all right , he is a lawyer here in salem . find him . bring him to me immediately . yes . [ sighs ] now , we sit ... and hope . nicole : hope ? stefano : hope that mr. hynes has not heard about baker 's death ... and already that letter has not been sent . [ scene_break ] nathan : uh , i just , uh , got the wrong chart . sorry . uh , excuse me . i 'll just be a minute . lucas : yeah .

[ scene_break ] rafe : the truth is i do n't know what baker did or did n't do , or who he was hanging out with . the dude was always up to something , right ? sami : so you think that trying to frame it on you was a spur of the moment thing ? rafe : i guess . what , do you got a better explanation ? sami : no . rafe : well , if you think of one , let me know . sami : okay . rafe : okay . i 'm sorry . sami : for what ? rafe : i guess i still want to be a -- a hero ... who says the right things , shows up in the nick of time . i wanted to get some answers out of baker . hell , i do n't even know who killed him . sami : you were trying to help me . rafe : yeah . now if it turns out that something did happen to grace at that clinic , we 'll never know . sami : what about -- what about that guy ? rafe : who ? sami : this lawyer ... william hynes . dr. baker had his card in his wallet , and i do n't know . maybe he knows what happened . [ scene_break ] stefano : mr. hynes , how good of you to come . i am stefano dimera . this is my daughter - in - law nicole . nicole : hi . stefano : unfortunately , my son is stuck in a business meeting , so he will not be with us . hynes : look , sir , when i was brought here , i was searched . and i mean completely . and then they took my cell phone . stefano : do n't be alarmed . you will get it all back . hynes : that 's not the point . the point is that i have the right -- stefano : the point is ... that i had to make sure that you had no listening devices on you . hynes : well , why would you even think that ? stefano : call it ... second nature . now , your client ... dr. richard baker . he gave you a letter that was to be opened upon his death , yes ? hynes : no , sir , not to be opened . to be given to the police . stefano : ah , that 's very good . you are very precise with your choice of words . so tell me , precisely ... where is the letter now ? nicole : have you sent it ? we have to know if you sent it . [ scene_break ] melanie : hey . daniel : hey , hey , what 's the word ? anything ? melanie : uh , nathan said there 's no change in chloe 's condition . daniel : no , no , no , it 's gon na change . the drug just has to kick in . she 'll start to recover . she will . she will come back to me . melanie : i hope so . daniel : you know what i should do , i should probably just call nathan . melanie : uh , actually , you know what , i 'm gon na text him and have him call the second her condition changes . just remember , i do n't want them to be able to connect your phone with his . daniel : all right , all right , all right , you know , in case it does n't work out . melanie : no , no . in case he gets caught and he has to lie his way out of it . because if they find out you were in contact , he could lose his internship . [ scene_break ] nathan : you sure about this ? any second thoughts ? lucas : of course i 'm having second thoughts , man . who would n't ? come on . [ cell phone ringing ] nathan : i 'm just saying , once you make the decision to discontinue the support ... if you later decide to put her back on ... lucas : then it 'll be too late . i know . lexie explained the whole thing to me already . nathan : then why do n't we wait a couple days , lucas ? lucas : i have made my decision . we are doing this . we 're doing it now . nathan : all right . let 's go see her .

[ knock on door ] kristen : coming . brady : you bitch . nicole : actually , this letter came out of the blue . someone in santa fe saw a clip of one of my interviews and offered me a job . daniel : so when do you leave ? nicole : never . the money is lousy . daniel ... if i did leave ... would you miss me ? kayla : i think brady is just trying to process what 's happening . he 'll be along . marlena : kayla , i 'm just gon na say this . what if i pay to keep john in the hospital , hmm ? kayla : marlena , i should 've done a better job explaining this to you . to judge a head injury , doctors use what 's called a gcs , which is a glasgow coma scale , and the range is from 15 being the best to 3 being the worst . when john was brought in , he was an 11 . by the next day , he was a 9 . yesterday his score was a 7 . marlena : so what -- even if he stays in the hos -- kayla : you know what ? we are not gon na move him for a few hours , and actually , i was gon na do another gcs now . so , if you want to wait ... marlena : yes , thank you . eric : is there anything i can do ? marlena : yes , there is . kristen : i can tell you 're upset , but it 's still really good to see you . want to come in ? want to have a seat ? brady : no , i 'm gon na stand , okay ? kristen : okay . i did n't know you were keeping tabs on where i was staying . brady : do n't flatter yourself . i went to the mansion . they said you were n't there , and i figured you 'd be here . kristen : well , still you had to want to find me , right ? talk to me ? maybe see me ? brady : no , that 's the last thing i want , kristen . kristen : okay , well , then why are you here ? brady : you want to get dressed ? kristen : and then what -- we 'll talk ? brady : no , we 're not gon na talk . i 'm gon na talk . you 're gon na listen . but right now you 're gon na put some clothes on . get dressed . will : i really do n't think that we should deal with this right now , sonny . it might make everything worse . sonny : nope , you 're wrong again . everything is gon na be worse if we do n't deal with it head - on . think about it . that 's the only way we can make our marriage work . will : okay . what am i wrong about ? sonny : well , there 's two things . will : now i 'm wrong about two things . sonny : possibly more . okay , first , you said when i blew into town , what impressed you the most was how many things i got done on my own . i came out . i started a business . i climbed k2 . i traveled the world . will : well , you did . sonny : but not on my own . somewhere along my journey , no matter what i wound up doing , there was someone there to give me a helping hand , okay ? so maybe i went about it the wrong way with you , but that 's exactly what i was trying to do for you . anne : sweet pea , something is telling anne that you 're not giving me the whole truth and nothing but the truth with regards to this john black scenario . now , if you 're covering for brady and that 's what you want to do , that 's your call . [ knock on door ] anne : but i think it would be better -- [ sighs ] theresa donovan ? theresa : yes ? sign here , please . theresa : okay . have a nice day . theresa : thanks , you too . anne : well , you either won a prize , or you 're in trouble , and knowing you , i 'm gon na bet on trouble . so do you want to read that alone ? i could wait in the hall . what is it ? theresa : it 's my annulment papers . it 's official . brady and i are done . eric : anything you need , just name it . marlena : oh , first of all , i want to say that you can always say no . eric : all right . marlena : i know that you 're thinking of going to colorado or to africa , and i understand that , well , you know , with all that happened with nicole . eric : and now that kristen 's back . marlena : right . so i was wondering if you would mind staying in salem just a little while longer . that is n't what i mean at all . what i mean is , would you mind staying in salem indefinitely ? that 's a lot to ask , is n't it ? i know . eric : my plan was to put some real distance between me and everything that 's happened this past year , although i would come back to testify against kristen . anyway , it 's really what i thought would be best . marlena : okay . i understand that . eric : but if you need me to stay , i 'll stay . marlena : i need you to stay . your sister needs you , and brady needs you . eric : then i 'm here . daniel : no , i would not miss you if you left . nicole : well , then i guess you will be disappointed to know that i am not leaving town . daniel : okay , nicole , i do n't care one way or another what you do . we 're not friends , remember ? nicole : oh , yeah , i remember . you remind me every chance you get . but you know what ? sticks and stones . sticks and stones and cold shoulders and icy stares and -- you know what ? never mind . i 'll stop bothering you . i 'm so sorry that i 'm not leaving . daniel : actually , maybe you 're right . i do n't know . maybe it is good that you 're sticking around . nicole : oh . daniel : at least you and brady patched things up , and with kristen back , you could use all the friends you can get , good or bad . nicole : wow , i will savor those words , and you know what ? even without your encouragement , i would be there for brady during this entire nightmare , aka kristen dimera the sequel . so you see ? i do n't abandon people i care about . kristen : okay . all dressed . let me start , please . i know why you 're mad . daniel told you that i went to see john , right ? brady : why the hell did you do that ? kristen : well , i did n't mean any harm at all . brady : all you do -- no , no , no , all you do is mean harm , kristen . do n't give me that . you ruin people 's lives . in my family alone -- marlena , mine , eric 's , my father 's . it 's all over . you 're not doing it anymore , okay ? you are never to see my father again . kristen : okay . that was easy , right ? brady : kristen , i 'm not kidding around with you , okay ? i got a judge to issue a restraining order . you can check with your lawyer , okay ? but if you come within 100 feet of my dad , your bail will be revoked . you will go back to jail . do you hear me ? kristen : duly noted . mm , you want some water or something ? look , i can just see that you 're really angry with me . brady : angry does n't -- angry does n't cut it , kristen . you make my -- you make my stomach turn . you make my skin crawl . i mean , just looking at you right now , i do n't have a word to describe to you how much i hate you . you wrecked my life . maybe worse than that , kristen , you 've wrecked my relationship with my father . you just severed it deliberately , and i 'm partially to blame for it . but do you understand i 'm never gon na be able to -- i 'm never gon na be able to make that right with him ? kristen : i know you hold yourself responsible for that , and i can see that you 're in such agony . brady : i know . i am responsible for it . kristen : you 're not , and this is what i do n't understand . i read the paper . you 're not responsible for it . what happened that night you fought with john ? sonny : look , i get it . you want to be independent . who does n't ? seriously , though , i accepted help from so many different people . will : yeah , you say that . sonny : my parents gave me my first loan to start my business . i had a friend who actually tricked me into going to my first rock - climbing class , and then he kept pushing me further and further . and as far as being this badass who came out , it would 've been twice as hard if my mom had n't made it clear that being gay is perfectly cool . will : i would n't have minded having a little of that . sonny : listen , if someone wants to give you help to get to the next level , does that mean that you 're not good enough ? if i 've made you feel that way , i am so sorry . will : okay , well , that 's the first thing i 'm wrong about . what 's the second ? sonny : i 'll show you . anne : all of it for you . just drink it . i mean , you must feel like you stepped into the biggest sinkhole of all time , right ? i mean , to feel so disconnected from all that money , and to think that guy talked you into walking away with nothing . theresa : [ scoffs ] you know , i was on top of the world when i married brady . [ chuckles ] and i had all these stupid fantasies , anne -- you know , walk - in closets , servants , and buying whatever i wanted , kicking maggie kiriakis out on her sanctimonious ass . anne : [ laughs ] theresa : old shrew . [ sighs ] god , and then we got back from vegas , and just everything went wrong . you know , john showed up , and ... he spewed all this garbage . attack , attack , attack . and then brady had to hit him , you know , in self - defense . anne : uh - huh . theresa : do you know what the worst part was , anne ? i really liked being with brady . [ sniffles ] he has this great smile , and ... he has this laugh . and his laugh would just make you want to follow him down the street , you know . but i 'm stupid . i should 've known it was n't gon na last . nothing good in my life ever lasts . it 's fine . i , uh ... [ groans ] god , you -- you 've got to be kidding me . sally : so , when we went to commercial , i said , `` miles , if you do n't stop looking down my blouse , i swear to god , i 'm gon na knock you to kingdom come . `` i do n't care if he 's the producer . a woman 's got rights , you know , even the right to wear a low - cut blouse . nicole . who 's the hunk ? you know him ? nicole : former friend . sally : is he mad at you ? nicole : well , let 's put it this way . when he thought i was taking the job offer in santa fe , he said he would n't miss me if i left . that was a lie . sally : it was ? nicole : yeah , it 's one thing to be mad at someone , but it 's another thing entirely when you think you 're never gon na see that person again . sally : yeah , i get that , but if ... what are you -- nicole ? nicole : yeah , yes . it 's perfect . sally : we 're supposed to finish this . nicole : i know . sally : the news -- nicole . eric : so my plan is to clear my name , make kristen pay for what she did not just to me , but to you and brady and john . marlena : john . you know , when everything is said and done ... i think everything that happened to john is because of kristen , because of her lies . eric : [ sighs ] i hate that you have to go through this . i know john was the right one for you . it took me a while to accept that , but i did . i just wish there was something i could really do to make this better . brady : the last thing i 'm gon na do is talk to you about what happened to my father . kristen : well , i just do n't understand . you and your father fought a lot , but usually it was because of me , and it does n't make any sense that you 'd still be arguing . brady : did you not hear what i just said ? kristen : you 'd even moved on . you got married and everything . brady : it 's none of your business , all right ? kristen : it 's okay . i know that it was just a rebound kind of thing and was kind of sudden -- brady : kristen , i 'm not gon na talk to you about this . kristen : but this is my whole point , brady , all right ? you were making all these rash decisions , and you were rushing into things , and you were spiraling out of control with the drugs and the alcohol . and i was worried about you , and that 's why i contacted daniel . do you see ? brady : hold on , hold on . you contacted daniel ? is that what you call it ? kristen : oh , i know how he puts it . he 's very dramatic about the whole thing . brady : you should 've stayed the hell away from him . kristen : well , i could n't . i had to make sure you were okay . now that i 'm here , i can see that you 're not . i can change that , brady . i can help . sonny : here you go . remember this ? will : boy , do i . my first attempt at a blog page . thank god i never published it . sonny : why ? why did you not publish this ? sonny : well , you said that it needed some work , and then when i kept asking , you finally admitted that it really , really sucked . sonny : yeah , well , i tried diplomacy first . will : i think i know where this is going . i accused you of not being honest about my writing . sonny : you know damn well i know the difference between good and bad , and the stuff you finally got published , the blog that zoë browning saw , those were brilliant . that 's why you got the job . will : that and uncle victor making a call . sonny : yeah , so what ? he made a call , but you would n't have got past a quick read if your article was n't good . will : probably . sonny : you know , it really burns me that you do n't understand how much i respect you and how much i love you . now , i know i screwed up . will : yeah , you did . sonny : well , will you let me make it up to you ? will : no . anne : well , what the hell is going on ? theresa : they put brady 's copy of the annulment papers in with mine . anne : okay , so you 'll put it in an envelope , and you 'll just send it back to him . theresa : no , i 'm just gon na go drop it off myself . anne : maybe you should go when you 're in a slightly better mood . theresa : no , i want to get it done today , okay ? i just -- i want brady to get out of my life and his stupid father too . anne : okay , all right . theresa : [ sighs ] marlena : you know what ? i ca n't keep watching this . all i think about is kristen and everything she did . eric : mom , why do n't you go take a walk ? i 'm gon na stay . i 'll text you if anything comes up . marlena : would you ? thank you . i 'll , uh -- i 'll get back to you . thank you . nicole : oh . for pete 's sake , i just ca n't seem to keep anything in my hands today . well , that went well . brady : seriously , you want to help ? you want to help ? plead guilty ... and give eric his life back . kristen : i want to help you , brady . i want to make things better for you . brady : you do n't make things better . you make them worse , and everything you touch dies . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to hurt your feelings . oh , wait , wait , wait . i could n't have hurt feelings , because you do n't have feelings , and i learned that a long time ago . kristen : i know i made a lot of mistakes . brady : you call them mistakes ! kristen : i told you in the park that i wanted to make things right , and now i know how . brady : you know how . here it comes , right ? here comes the pitch . tell me . tell me the story that you -- how are you -- you know what ? i do n't want -- i do n't want to listen to this -- kristen : wait a second . i was n't gon na tell you anything . i was n't gon na say anything , but ... please , just give me five minutes , and i can explain . please ? i promise you . you wo n't regret it . sonny : okay , i tried . no forgiveness . got it . will : wait . you do n't understand . you do n't have to make it up to me , because there 's no reason you should . we 've both made mistakes . sonny : no kidding . will : and i know that you did everything that you did because you love me . hell , i 've always known that . it 's just i get insecure , and i lash out , you know ? sonny : it 's no problem . will : god , i called you a glorified barista . sonny : i said you were desperate for attention and enjoyed destroying your mom and ej . will : well , you 're actually pretty dead - on with that . listen to me . no matter what , no matter how mad i was , i never stopped loving you . sonny : back at you . anne : excuse me . i was summoned . daniel : i just left a note that said `` please see me . `` anne : and here i am ... seeing you . daniel : i would like you to consider someone for the college intern program . anne : oh , let me guess -- another freaking horton , perchance ? daniel : no , it is paige larson -- premed , very qualified , so please do n't hold it against her that i 'm making the recommendation . anne : oh , now , why would i ever do that ? oh . oh , well , i 'll be gosh darned . now , that 's theresa 's niece . this is jj 's little girlfriend . daniel : yes , very qualified . anne : yeah , or maybe you 've decided the best way to score points with jennifer is through her son . daniel : no , i am just trying to help someone because they deserve it . anne : really ? daniel : no agenda , really . anne : so sweet jenn 's never gon na hear a word about this ? daniel : okay , anne . anne : hmm ? daniel : if paige does n't get this internship , i am going straight to the board . anne : [ sighs ] i 'll look into it . daniel : thank you so much . anne : [ hisses ] daniel : [ exhales deeply ] kayla : should i ask ? daniel : please do n't . please . what 's up ? kayla : i 'm sorry to barge in , but i had to see you . actually , there 's something that you need to see . nicole : come on , eric , will you ? i ca n't wait around here forever . eric : thank you very much . i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . nicole : oh ! i am such a klutz today . sorry , i -- eric : they 've offered you a position in santa fe . nicole : yeah . what can i say ? one of my segments went national , so they decided i should be part of team santa fe . it 's an amazing offer , really . eric : so you 're leaving salem ? nicole , that 's terrific . [ knock on door ] marlena : kristen , open up . i know you 're there . brady : [ sighs ] she 's here . same psycho , same hotel . marlena : and what the hell are you doing here ? i thought you were gon na stay away from her ? brady : i just came here to give her a little warning , and now you 're here to witness it . stay away from my dad , or you 're gon na go back to jail . are you gon na be all right with her alone ? marlena : i 'll be fine . it 'll be short and sweet -- not so sweet . i hope i did n't spoil whatever you had planned by showing up unannounced . kristen : not at all . your timing could n't have been better . nicole : i guess i did n't realize you wanted me gone so badly . eric : i 'm sorry . i 've just been thinking about leaving town myself . i mean , it seems logical not having to see each other on a regular basis . nicole : where were you planning to go ? eric : nowhere now . my mom asked me to stay . with all the business with john , sami , and kristen , she needs me . but if you 're heading to santa fe , i appreciate your taking a step . it 's something i never could 've asked for . nicole : uh - huh . eric : i assume this has to do with me at least partially in mind . nicole : damn it , eric . i never said i accepted the job . i just said it was an amazing offer . eric : i 'm so sorry . i just jumped to the wrong conclusion . nicole : what ? eric : you planned this . nicole : [ sighs ] excuse me ? eric : you were trying to manipulate me . nicole : oh , my -- eric : you never stop , do you ? daniel : well , i tend to check my email just before i 'm ready to leave . kayla : yeah , but this ca n't wait . it 's important . wait till you see it . theresa : oh , hey . i hope it 's okay . henderson let me in . they sent both copies of the annulment papers to me , and i was just leaving you a note , but -- i should go now . i 'm sorry . hey , brady . brady : hmm ? theresa : hey , hey . you okay ? kristen : would you like a drink ? marlena : no , i would not . kristen : okay , well , i 'm sure you do n't mind if i do . i do n't know what it is . whenever you 're in the room with me , my throat gets so dry . it must be all the love . marlena : you are mighty chipper for somebody who 's gon na spend the next two decades in prison . kristen : oh , that did n't take long , did it ? the imperious tone , the self- righteous attitude . i think i 've missed you . marlena : well , we have n't missed you ... least of all brady . i suppose it was clear after your chat with brady that he will never forgive you . kristen : we 'll see . marlena : wow . you really are delusional . kristen : oh , marlena , i know that you have a deep loathing for the idea that somewhere , someday , someone might actually be happy , but i try to look past that . marlena : so you 're insane . yes , and what about all the pain and heartache you 've caused him ? kristen : i 've caused him ? i 've caused him ? you 're the one that showed the video to the church full of people . you 're the one that publicly humiliated brady on his wedding day . marlena : for the love of god ! kristen : you ruined his life . you decimated his life . do you have any idea what that did to me , marlena , to see him spiraling out of control with drugs and alcohol ? and i could n't help him . i wanted to reach out to him , and i could n't . marlena : what is this ? you want me to feel sorry for you ? is that it ? 'cause you know damn well that you 're responsible for everything that happened to brady , and thank god he is getting his life back in order . theresa : brady , that was -- kristen : marlena , although it 's always so much fun to listen to your various pronouncements , could you please just say what 's on your mind and get the hell out ? marlena : mm - hmm . well , i was watching someone i love , someone that you 've destroyed , and it occurred to me that i should come by and tell you in person that i will do whatever it takes to make you pay . kristen : to make me pay . it 's so funny hearing that , 'cause it 's always about making me pay . when do you pay ? and i 'm not just talking about hurting brady by showing that video to everybody . i 'm talking about what it did to your son eric , 'cause that was really such a shame -- marlena : oh , do n't pretend to care about eric . are you serious ? you only care about one person , and that is yourself . you are selfish to the core , and you 're evil , and that 's why you lost brady , and that 's why you lost john . kristen : as i said , such a shame . poor father eric , he was such a terrific priest . although , i have to say , after that night in the hotel with him , i 'm sure he was -- marlena : you disgusting bitch , you cost him his vocation . he 's an innocent man , and you destroyed his vocation , and you did it just to hurt me . kristen : i know i did . i can see from the look on your face it still causes you pain . that makes me so happy . marlena : all right . you can take your cheap shots . i know it 's all you have left , because you 've lost . brady wants nothing to do with you . your own brother , ej , has abandoned you . and when your case goes to court and the judge sends you to prison , i 'll be sitting in the front row , cheering , because i will know you got exactly what you deserve . it 's for all the people you 've hurt , especially it 's for hurting john . kristen : you know , it 's funny you should mention john 's name . i mean , really , he 's the one that started this whole chain of events , is n't he ? guess what . he 's gon na be the person that ends it . sonny : hey , you know what ? will : what ? sonny : that was our first big fight as a married couple . will : and we made it through it . maybe we should celebrate . sonny : what do you have in mind ? will : hmm , let me think . um ... how about ... nicole : eric , really , i -- for pete 's sake , i just dropped a piece of paper . how is that manipulating anything ? eric : you dropped it for the second time . you wanted me to read it , and what , did you want me to , like , cry if you left town ? you want me to fall on my knee and beg you to stay ? nicole : no , of course not . it was just -- eric : you just ca n't help yourself , can you ? just you and these new schemes , new ways to trick people into making things go your way . there 's no room left for honesty in your world , is there , nicole ? well , let me give you some free advice . i want you to take that job . i want you to move to santa fe . no one wants you here . daniel : this just came in out of the blue ? kayla : yeah , and i emailed to you immediately . what do you think ? daniel : it 's unbelievable . think it 'll work ? kayla : seems like it . daniel : well , if it does , it 'll change everything . marlena : look , i do n't know what kind of a sick plan you have in mind , but i should tell you something . if you go near john ... i will kill you . kristen : okay . marlena : okay . kristen : but as usual , you do n't have a clue . i 'm not here to hurt john . i 'm here to save him . | kayla let marlena and eric know that john belonged in a long - term health care facility . brady went to see kristen and called her a b * tch . he wanted to talk to her . she tried to flirt with brady , but he did n't want to hear what she had to say . sonny wanted to make his marriage work with will . will was n't sure they could work it out . sonny explained that he wanted to work things out with will and that will was n't a loser . marlena asked eric if he could stay in salem . eric wanted to put some distance between his problems . he decided he would stay if marlena wanted him to do it . she said she did because they all needed him . brady warned kristen to stay away from his father . kristen wanted to know what happened between brady and john the night of the accident . |
chad : i know what you 're saying . `` you ? praying ? `` i feel the same way . you prayed , so if it brings me just a little bit closer to you , then i guess i ... i 'll give it a shot . your faith was strong in god . and in family . and in our love . guess i 'm -- i 'm here looking for answers . because i want to do what 's best for our son . chloe : yes , parker , i 'm feeling much better . it was just a little tummy ache , okay ? yeah , now have fun with rebecca . i love you so much .

[ cell phone ringing ] kristen : oh , ha . hi , daniel . yeah , i thought i 'd be hearing from you . nicole : excuse me . you 're acting like it 's my fault you made the wrong assumption . i never said i was taking that job in santa fe . eric : no , you just made sure i misinterpreted what i saw ... hoping that i 'd beg you to stay . forgive and forget , right ? after what you did , that 's not going to happen , nicole . sami : you 're damn right . nicole : oh , why do n't you buzz off , sami ? sami : why do n't you get a clue , nicole ? he does n't want anything to do with you . my brother will never want anything to do with you ever again . so why do n't you salvage what 's left of your dignity and get lost ? kristen : so i assume you got my email . daniel : yeah , kayla did . we both looked over the formula and the statistical studies . we 'd like to see you , if that 's all right ... in person . kristen : wonderful . daniel : well , how soon can you come to my office ? kristen : well , there 's a problem . see , brady took out a restraining order against me , so i ca n't go to the hospital because of john . and given the sensitive nature of the information , we probably should not meet in public , so what about meeting at my hotel room ? daniel : let 's meet at my apartment . kristen : okay , sounds like a plan . see you soon . we 're going to meet at daniel 's . marlena : what the hell have you done ? kristen : i guess you 're going to find out . jj : it 's -- it 's just , uh ... nothing . paige : no , it 's a box with my name on it ... addressed to my dorm room at stanford ? jj : okay , look , when you decided that you were n't going to go there and that you were going to stay here for another year , i 'd already sent it . i just wanted this to be the first thing you opened when you got there . paige : but i did n't get there , so they sent it back . jj : mm - hmm . paige : that 's so sweet , jj . what 's in it ? jj : nothing . just ... stuff . let 's not open it . paige : why not ? jj : it 's just -- when i put this together , i thought we were n't going to be seeing each other for a couple months , so it 's just -- i do n't know . it 's just going to be cheesy . paige : i love cheesy . jj : okay . scissors . paige : open it . jj : oh , boy . paige : [ giggles ] aha ! [ giggles ] i 'll definitely save this for next year . jj : all right . paige : [ giggles ] jj : okay . [ laughs ] well , i did the community - bathroom thing at boarding school , so believe me , you are going to need those . paige : okay , save them too . [ laughs ] jj : yeah . paige : aw . actually , this is kind of a bad picture of me . [ laughs ] jj : paige , i do n't think you could take a bad picture if you tried . paige : you always know what to say . okay . jj : i know -- it 's ... it 's kind of lame , right ? paige : it 's perfect . eric : sami , just back off . sami : look , i just do n't think you should have to put up with a baby snatcher -- nicole : why do n't you mind your own business ? eric : i got this . sami : he is my business . he 's my brother , and i 'm not going to stand around and let you harass him . nicole : maybe if you focused on your own relationship instead of eric 's , ej would n't have cheated on you . sami : oh , really ? you want to go there ? you want to start this right now ? nicole : you know , your son really nailed you in that article . what did he say about you ? you 're narcissistic , petty , and selfish to the bone ? sami : you are dead meat . nicole : oh , you want to kill me -- go ahead . sami : yeah , do n't tempt me . nicole : 'cause i hear stefano is inches from salem , and you and kate are at the top of his to - do list . i 'm surprised that your kids are n't motherless yet , crying themselves to sleep at night . you know you have a target on your back . eric : nicole , what is wrong with you ? nicole : she started it ! actually , i 'm ... sorry i said that bit about your kids . they 're going to be fine . they 're going to be fine . i did n't mean what i said . i just lost my temper . [ sighs ] [ both sigh ] theresa : hey , um , can i ask you something ? brady : sure . theresa : well ... you know you 've been saying for weeks now how we should , you know , go off on our own ... no more good times , no more anything . and i mean , you know , the annulment papers -- they just came in today , so ... why did this happen ? kayla : marlena , today we received an email from a biochemist who works in a lab in ... in someplace in the world . and apparently he was told to contact us . kristen : yeah , by me . kayla : by ... daniel , i think you better do this . daniel : yeah . yeah , the email contains part of the formula for an experimental drug , also some statistical studies . kayla and i researched this extensively , and we both agree that , in theory , this drug could be used to bring john out of a coma . marlena : no . no , that 's impossible . this is some vicious game of hers now . look , daniel , we 've talked with every specialist in the country . this -- this drug certainly would 've come up . kristen : marlena , you know my father -- he likes to stay ahead of the curve on these kind of things . he 's always in touch with the most brilliant physicians in the world . marlena : hmm , the lovely chyka ? kristen : who ? anyway , when i told my father that john was going downhill and that marlena was heartbroken , he decided that he would help make john better somehow , find a cure . marlena : she 's lying , is n't she ? i mean , there is not a cure , is there ? this is just some kind of hoax . all she wants to do is have a good laugh with stefano . kayla : marlena -- marlena : or even worse -- you know what ? the drug will kill john . kristen : [ laughs ] why would i bother ? he 's a couple days away from death . marlena : you 'd bother because you 're a vile , vicious woman . kayla : marlena ! marlena , we need to try to keep this as civil as we possibly can ... no matter how we feel about kristen . but based on our studies , this drug does have the potential to save john ... or at least improve his condition . daniel : well , as i told you before , uh , you only gave us part of the formula . marlena : oh , i get it now . if we want the other part of the formula , we have to live up to a series of her conditions . kristen : not a series , just a couple . the first one involves brady . marlena : [ scoffs ] paige : missed . jj : well , i mean , how was i supposed to get that ? paige : [ laughs ] jj : all right . paige : all right . okay . aw . jj : okay , see ? you 're -- you 're not even trying . paige : i 'm kind of `` popcorned `` out . want to do something else ? jj : yeah . well , this is , like , the last night before classes start . we got to do something fun . paige : like ? jj : i got it . it 's perfect . but it 's going to require us to get a lot more naked . nicole : to all the dumb dreams that never happened . hear , hear . and to the dumbest person in this room , right here . caroline : what the heck do you think you 're doing ? nicole : hey , i just got that . get your own . caroline : what makes you think you can come into my pub and order anything ? nicole : i thought you said i was always welcome . caroline : well , that 's before i knew what you did to my grandson . without that , he might still be a priest . nicole : ugh . [ sighs ] eric : nicole -- she did n't have to throw it in your face . and the cracks that she made about stefano killing you and kate ? sami : well , she 's closer to the truth than i thought . we do have pretty big targets on our backs . eric : sami , is he threatening you ? sami : no , no . i have n't heard a peep out of stefano , actually . i mean , i did hear a rumor that he , um ... well , he might be making a deal with the state . eric : so stefano could be back in salem any day . sami : which would not be good news for kate or me . brady : look , uh ... y - you asked me what happened . i 'll tell you what happened . i really was n't thinking . and this -- this was really sudden . theresa : well , when you came in earlier , you seemed , uh ... you seemed upset . my god , brady . did something happen with your dad ? did he ... brady : no , no , no , no , listen , he 's -- he 's the same . theresa : oh . well , that 's -- that 's good . so what was going on with you when you came in earlier ? brady : look , um ... this ... this was a mistake . i am so sorry . marlena : and there it is -- once again , her crazy scheme . all you want to do is get brady back . let me tell you something , sweetheart . he wants nothing to do with you . he hates your guts . kristen : okay , maybe if you could shut up for a second , i would explain that i actually want the exact opposite . kayla : i 'm sorry ? kristen : i came very close to telling brady about this earlier , and i 'm glad i did n't . i do n't want him to know anything about it . i want him to be kept completely in the dark until we can find out for sure if the drug works , because i do n't want his hopes to get up for nothing . daniel : okay . kristen : can we at least agree on that , yes ? daniel : no , no , let 's , let 's , let 's . okay , not a word . not a word to brady . none of us want to see brady get hurt again , ever again . kristen : yeah , thank you . neither do i . marlena : [ scoffs ] kayla : the report that came along with that email said that it was imperative that the drug was administered as soon as possible . daniel : we just -- we just need the rest of the formula . kristen : right , well , that would depend on marlena ... which brings us to the second condition that i mentioned earlier . i think we should go talk about that one in private . living with chronic migraine brady : it was ... so selfish of me , theresa . i mean , i - i tell you we 're over , and then i drag you to bed . theresa : hey , you do n't ever have to drag me . brady : yeah , but talk about a mixed signal i 'm sending you . theresa : well , i 'm not mad , if that 's what you were worried about . i mean , seriously . if you were confused , it 's -- brady : it 's -- it 's not that . theresa : okay . well , you know , whatever it is , i - i really care about you , brady . you know that , right ? so , you know , i mean , if this was just a one - time thing , then that 's cool . that 's fine . brady : you sure ? theresa : yeah , absolutely . i mean , you know me , i 'm always looking for a good time , and you were definitely ... a good time , brady , so ... brady : okay , thanks . theresa : yeah , sure . no problem . nicole : excuse me . the reason eric got defrocked was because of kristen . go steal her martini . caroline : yeah , well , i have a few choice words for that piece of trash . but you are the one who destroyed the evidence that would 've cleared him , and so you 're as much to blame as she is . nicole : i helped him in every way i could . i went to rome . i testified for him . they reinstated him . he is the one who decided not to go back to the priesthood . caroline : that 's because he was so full of hate for what happened that he did n't think he could do it . nicole : well , you know what they say -- it 's a thin line between love and hate . eric : sami , have you told dad ? sami : about what ? eric : sami , if he threatened you , you need to go file a report . sami : oh , no , no , look , we do n't know what 's going to happen with stefano . he might not get the deal . and he probably wo n't be able to come back to salem . what ? eric : sami , the dimeras get what they want no matter who gets hurt . they get away with murder almost as much -- i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . sami : no problem . eric : you understand what i 'm saying , though , right ? sami : yeah . eric : you got to be on guard , ready for anything . i know you remember what happened with kristen . sami : yes , yes , i know , okay ? she paid off a judge , and she made bail . but she is going to pay for what she did to you . i know it . i know it in my soul . you 're going to testify against her at her trial . she 's going to end up at statesville , and then she 's going down . daniel : we 're going to be right outside . marlena : thank you . kristen : you might want to alert the hospital lab . the sooner they can get that drug ready to make , the better . the formula might actually come in tonight , depending on what marlena decides . kayla : oh , god . i hate that woman . daniel : well , unfortunately , she 's holding all the cards . kayla : you know , too bad we ca n't just come up with the rest of the formula by ourselves . daniel : i know . but if we 're just -- one ingredient is the least bit off or the wrong amount was used ... kayla : i have to get back to the hospital . i wonder what kristen 's doing in there . daniel : well , i have a pretty good guess . she is about to wreck a lot of people 's lives . kristen : so here 's the upshot . although i was able to convince my father to help find a cure for john , he wants a couple of assurances before he hands it over . marlena : what kind of assurances ? kristen : well , you love your daughters , right ? marlena : yes . kristen : well , my father loves me . he does n't want to see me go to prison . marlena : no . kristen : yes . you have to have a convo with eric . paige : [ screams ] [ both laughing ] paige : perfect way to say good - bye to summer . jj : yeah . yep . you know , when i 'm crammed in my seat tomorrow , listening to that boring lecture , i 'll just be able to lean back and think of you in that bikini . paige : stop it . jj : no , it 's true . paige : how many classes do you have tomorrow ? jj : three . yeah , but i 'm thinking about dropping one -- music theory . paige : why ? jj : i do n't know . i just feel like i should study something more useful . paige : okay , here 's why you 're wrong . you should study whatever you feel passionate about . and you 're a terrific musician . second , i signed up for that class too . jj : really ? when ? paige : it was supposed to be a surprise . jj : well , you 're just full of surprises , are n't you ? paige : oh , well , i hope so . i hate to think i 'm predictable already . we only met six months ago . jj : well , i 'm not dropping that class . paige : good . actually , music theory was one of the few interesting classes i could actually get into , you know , 'cause i enrolled so late . jj : yeah . paige : what ? jj : just -- i do n't know . just staying here and going to salem u -- that really screwed things up for you , did n't it ? just be honest , okay ? are you sorry that you stayed ? brady : [ sighs ] theresa : here you go ... the annulment papers . brady : thanks . i ca n't apologize enough for -- theresa : brady , do n't . seriously , i had a really great time . brady : but i know how you feel , and i crossed a line , and -- theresa : no , hey , no harm , no foul . and , you know , it 's really nice to know that you care about me . brady : i do . i do , and of course we can be friends . theresa : we will be . brady : good . theresa : you do realize , though , that that was the first time we ever made love sober . [ chuckles ] brady : imagine that . theresa : yeah . well , i think it made it that much sweeter . [ cell phone ringing ] theresa : hey , is , uh , china calling already ? brady : no , it 's one of the nurses at the hospital . it 's ... it 's about my dad . caroline : you mean because eric hates you , that really means he loves you ? well , you 're crazy . you should see a psychiatrist soon if you think that 's what my grandson feels for you . nicole : son of a bitch ! i have no idea how eric feels about me , okay ? all i know is i love him more than i 've loved anyone in my entire life . and he loved me . and , yes , i still love him . i will always love him . that feeling does n't just die , not for me , not for anybody . sami : at least one dimeras going to pay for what they 've done . even if ej and stefano find a way to skate with just a fine , at least kristen will -- eric : what ? what 's wrong ? sami : i was just thinking that your case against kristen might make stefano -- eric : come after you even stronger . sami : i did n't say that . eric : sami , do you think i should drop the charges ? sami : no . no . my god , eric , of course not . no , you have to make that woman pay for what she has done to you . i ca n't wait -- i ca n't wait to picture her living her life in statesville . eric : sami -- sami : and then even if you 're not a priest again , at least you 'll know you 've done the right thing . eric : i could be putting your life in danger . sami : no , no , you wo n't be doing that at all . do n't -- do n't worry about that . i mean , honestly , like , stefano 's not going to harm the mother of his grandkids , i promise . he 's not like that , you know ? i should n't have even have thought of it . i should n't have said anything . it 's fine . eric : i do n't know . i mean , you know stefano 's a cold - blooded killer . sami : well , you know , allegedly . but that 's not the point . the point is ... if anything , he 's most mad at what i did taking his company from him and embarrassing him . it 's not about you . do n't worry about it . eric : yeah , i suppose . sami : hey , i know . you , you go get 'em , tiger . rawr . eric : you know , some days after everything that 's happened in this past year , i 've been struggling . but , you know , when i saw kristen being dragged into that police station , it kind of gave my life meaning again . sami : i hear that . eric : some days it 's the one thing that keeps me going , just knowing that i 'm going to send that woman to prison . marlena : you 're asking me -- i 'm his mother . you ca n't ask me to hurt my son . kristen : okay , let 's be really clear about this . i 'm not asking . my father is asking . even if i begged him , he would n't hand over the drug . okay ? only if eric agrees not to testify against me . without his testimony , there 's no case , and without a case , my father 's very happy . marlena : and , of course , you 're very happy too . kristen : of course i 'm very happy , yes . but again , i ca n't get the drug . only my father can get the drug . marlena : you are disgusting . after all you 've done to my son , you expect him to give up any chance of justice ? kristen : it 's not my problem , i 'm sure you could figure something out . marlena : maybe stefano wants something else . kristen : you know what 's so interesting about this ? if john 's condition is deteriorating as quickly as i hear it is , should you really be standing around here weeping and moaning ? do n't you think you should be trying to find eric ? daniel : marlena , are you okay ? kayla went back -- kristen : do n't worry about her . she has a lot on her mind . sami : think of it this way . you know , you 're actually going to make everyone -- especially me -- very happy by putting kristen away . eric : really , finally . sami : yeah , exactly . she does n't have a friend in the world . even ej 's going to be testifying against her . eric : yeah , everything would 've been different -- sami : if he had turned on her in the first place . i know . i feel like an idiot . i should not have been loyal to that son of a bitch . i mean , why ? why ? eric : because you were in love , sami . sami : but you 're my twin . you 're my brother . you mean everything to me . eric : i love you . nothing will ever change that . i mean , after all the years and the stunts that you 've pulled off , you should know that by now . sami : i do . and i am grateful ... 'cause you are such a great brother . eric : mm . sami : and kind ... and thoughtful ... eric : uh - huh . sami : and handsome . eric : right , ooh , good one . sami : mom 's favorite . eric : mom 's favorite . sami : [ laughs ] you know i hate that one . that 's my least favorite . daniel : [ chuckles ] all right , let me guess . you -- you told marlena to convince eric not to testify against you . kristen : hmm , was that a guess , or were you eavesdropping ? daniel : oh , i knew the second you asked kayla and me to leave the room . it 's kind of predictable , really . kristen : aw , i 'm starting to think you know me too well , daniel . and by the way , i was just passing on a demand of my father 's . daniel : oh , were you ? is that a fact ? i hope you do n't expect anybody to believe that . i mean , you seriously think brady wo n't blame you for this ? kristen : blame me ? for what , saving his father 's life ? daniel : more like saving your own . kristen : you 're so cynical . that 's just an added bonus . daniel : you are awfully confident that this drug is going to work . kristen : daniel , it will . daniel : oh , it better . if it does n't or if this is a bluff , you are going to be in a deeper hole than you are now . kristen : maybe you do n't know me as well as i thought you did . let 's check . am i bluffing ? daniel : no . kristen : no . it 's going to be a win - win for everybody . daniel : except for eric . kristen : and why do you say that ? he 's just going to find some phrase in the bible . `` vengeance is mine , sayeth the lord . `` besides , he 's giving his mother back the love of her life . how could you say no to that ? daniel : you 've got it all figured out , do n't you ? kristen : it 's going to happen . daniel : yeah ? well , even if it does , there is -- there is one thing you should know . brady -- he is never going to change his mind about you . brady : [ sighs ] theresa : so is he waking up ? is he saying anything ? brady : no , that was , uh ... theresa : [ clears throat ] brady : that was one of the nurses telling me that i can go see him because they 're done with the testing for today . but they 're -- they 're moving him to a long - term - care facility . they do n't think he 's going to wake up . theresa : oh . brady : yeah , yeah . theresa : well , that 's -- that 's really sad . um , i should -- i should let you go , then . i 'll see you . brady : thank you , and thanks for being so understanding . theresa : hey , hey , we 're good . [ sighs ] well ... [ giggles ] brady might think that was a one - time thing , but me ... not so much . kristen : there you go again . you 're always so sure of yourself . it 's getting kind of comical . even you ca n't predict the future . daniel : well , just some things are kind of obvious . kristen : mm . i have to go . there 's somebody i need to see . i 'm sure we 'll be in touch as soon as marlena does her job . bye . [ door closes ] [ footsteps approaching ] [ monitor beeping ] marlena : after all that eric 's been through ... all that he 's lost ... how do i ask him ? because he deserves -- you need his help . brady needs him . [ cell phone ringing ] eric : hey , mom . where are you ? marlena : hi , honey . i 'm not far . um ... eric , i - i need to talk to you about something . it 's really important , so could you -- could you just come and meet me , please ? paige : okay , there . if mary beth texts back again , i 'll just ignore her . i 'm sorry . jj : oh , it 's no problem . paige : so , anyway , am i sorry i stayed ? no . nothing at stanford 's so important that i should skip having another year with my mom ... and you . jj : you sure ? paige : absolutely . what , you think you 're holding me back ? [ laughs ] i could soar with the eagles if it were n't for you ? jj : stop , stop , stop . it 's just -- okay , i just -- i worry about you , all right ? because i love you . paige : i love you too . so staying here is a good thing . [ camera shutter clicking ] sami : [ sighs ] [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] nicole : stupid old cow . you think feelings like that just go away ? they do n't . bitch ... this is your fault . there , kristen . at least you 're giving me something to look forward to . theresa : anne , you are not going to believe what happened . no , no , this is n't about jenn - jenn . this is about brady . and it is so exciting . kristen : oh , really ? do tell . brady : they may be moving you to a different place , but , uh ... this is n't over , dad . i do n't care what these tests say , and i do n't care what these doctors say . it 's not over . [ door opens ] kayla : brady , hey . brady : hi . is it time ? kayla : um , well , actually , your father 's transfer 's been put on hold for a little while . brady : really ? why ? kayla : well , you know , it 's just sort of a procedural thing -- red tape . brady : `` red tape `` ? what -- what do you mean ? kayla : listen , do n't worry about it . [ cell phone ringing ] kayla : they 're going to reschedule it , and i 'll let you know as soon as that happens . oh , i 'm sorry . i got to take of this . daniel : ah , always playing games , are n't you , kristen ? [ cell phone ringing ] daniel : hello ? kayla : hi . hi . it 's kayla . um , listen , i just wanted to tell you that brady 's here , and i do n't think i did a very good job explaining why his father 's not being transferred . uh , i do n't know . maybe he bought it . but you might be getting a phone call . daniel : all right , got it . what 's up with the lab ? kayla : i alerted them , and they said that they 're ready to go as soon as we get the rest of the formula to them . so tell me , were you right ? did kristen tell marlena that she 's got to convince eric not to testify ? daniel : she did . and marlena 's probably found him by now . i 'd hate to be her . eric : mom , hey . marlena : hi , honey . eric : you sounded so upset on the phone . is everything o -- mom , have you been crying ? what happened ? did something happen with john ? marlena : no , john -- john is the same , but he 's -- he 's the reason that i 'm here . eric : i do n't understand . marlena : oh , i hate myself for doing this . eric : doing what ? marlena : i have to ask you to do something ... and it 's something really horrible . | sami overheard nicole and eric arguing over her taking a new job . sami wanted her to leave eric alone . daniel wanted kirsten to meet at his place to talk about john . nicole and sami argued over eric . eric stopped them from arguing and he and sami walked away from nicole . kayla and daniel told kristen and marlena that there 's a special drug that john could get to help him . marlena did n't believe the drug would help john . daniel and kayla found out that they only have part of the drug to help john . kristen wanted them to help her before she talked to stefano about getting the other half of the drug . |
