gabi : well , i 'm sorry if i ca n't fall to my knees and scream for joy . it was vivian 's grand scheme , with the help of andre , to steal gabi chic , that derailed my entire life . the woman is a liar , a manipulator , and a bitch who 's only out for herself . stefan : well , lucky for me , i fell for a woman who reminds me of dear old mom . gabi : do n't expect me to be happy about this . stefan : can you at least be happy for me ?

a man who 's afraid if you knew the truth about him , he never would have gotten the chance to know you . that 's all i wanted -- a chance . but now that you 've left me , i have nothing to lose by being honest . `` honey , maybe we do n't need to hear the rest of this . hope : no , wait , daddy ... why ? what do n't you want me to hear ? what -- what 's in that ? -their béarnaise sauce here is the best in town . doug : it does n't matter . what ... your idea of just throwing it away might be the best of all . hope : daddy ... `` when you told me about the death of your son , zach , i told you i lost a child as well '' -- `` but that was a lie . `` one of the most ... horrific moments of my life and he used it . doug : that bastard . i wish he was -- i wish he was still alive so i could knock the hell out of him . oh , god -- thank god you saw the light about that man and walked away . honey , honey , here 's a -- here 's a lit candle . let 's burn the damn thing . hope : i love that you want to protect me , but please ... i need to read the rest . doug : okay . hope : `` kate told me she lost her husband . i lied and told her that my wife had died as well . `` doug : yeah , the man really has a pattern here , does n't he ? hope : `` and when diana colville insisted that she ran into my wife in the south of france , i pretended to be surprised , but i was worried the truth could come out . what i know for sure is that i am dead to the woman i married , which is what i deserve . `` doug : and now we 're supposed to feel sorry for the son of a bitch ? hope : daddy , please . i need and want to read the rest of this letter . doug : okay , okay . hope : `` i 'd give anything to look you in the eye and confess all my lies and misdeeds , if only for the privilege of once again being in your beautiful presence . but i doubt you will give me that chance , and it 's not one i deserve , so please know that despite all my lies , the one truth ... is this ... i love you . daddy ... walter : relax . are you kidding ? the boss is a dimera . i do n't care if she 's behind bars -- no way in hell i 'm saying a word . eric : that 's too bad , because kristen would want you to tell me whatever you know about nicole and where she 's headed with holly . walter : you think i 'm stupid ? eric : who do you think gave me the address ? walter : kristen ? vivian : you see , he does have a brain . walter : why would she do that ? eric : because she 's facing serious charges . a conviction sends her to prison for life , so she worked out a deal with the salem pd . but your boss ? she 'll be free as soon as i find out that nicole and holly are safe . walter : why should i believe you ? eric : you can believe me or not , it 's your choice . but if you 're so worried about losing rolf , can you imagine what kristen 's gon na feel like when she finds out you were the one guy who blew her chance at freedom ? stefan : i wish you could understand what this all means to me . my mother ... alive . it 's a miracle . gabi , i have been mourning her every day , and now -- if you could just give her a chance -- look , i know she 's not the easiest person to get along with , but if you could just give her a chance and spend some quality time with her ... gabi : ca n't you just set her up in a nice retirement community in , say , antarctica ? stefan : look , gabi ... i know that vivian 's scheme to steal gabi chic from you was the tipping point that caused you to lose everything , but , hey , i was involved in that too , right ? but you found it in that incredible heart of yours to forgive me . to love me . i 'm hoping you can do the same thing for my mother . gabi : damn it . stefan : is that a yes ? gabi : okay , look , forgiveness is a long shot , but i will try . the love part ? not gon na happen . stefan : you 're the best . gabi : no , i 'm an idiot . stefan : who loves me . gabi : not very much at this moment . stefan : really ? gabi : mm - hmm . stefan : are you -- you sure about that ? gabi : yes , i 'm sure about that . stefan : mm . gabi : maybe we should take this upstairs . stefan : i would love to , but i have to get to chicago . gabi : you have to get to chicago this second ? stefan : yes . gabi : [ sighs ] okay , fine . at least there 's an upside to all of this , and that 's gon na be kate 's face when she finds out that vivian 's alive . are n't you happy that i stopped you from killing her ? stefan : yes , but kate can not know anything about this . sarah : what do you mean ? who -- who is `` she `` ? who -- who left you for dead ? julie : she said ... she ... [ monitor beeping ] sarah : i wonder who she meant ? kayla : well , hopefully we 'll get some answers soon . in the meantime , let 's hope that the echocardiogram and the bloodwork tells us what caused this and how bad it is . tech : at safelite autoglass , stefan : we wan na bring kate down , take back dimera , right ? gabi : yes . stefan : i do n't care that my mother survived the bullet that kate put in her . i still want her to pay for what she did . so we use this . gabi : how ? stefan : not sure exactly yet , but we need to keep it a secret until we know how we 're gon na use it to our advantage . gabi : okay , well , it 's gon na be hard to keep a secret if kate gets suspicious as to why you 're leaving town all of a sudden , so why do n't you just send ben ? stefan : that 's a good idea . ben . when we finally do reveal that vivian 's alive , kate gets a look at her , and i ca n't wait to see her face . she -- if we 're lucky , she 'll have a heart attack . gabi : maybe even a real one . stefan : what 's that mean ? gabi : oh , um , nothing . i just , um -- i bumped into julie and we got into it , and she faked a heart attack . i mean , it was n't the first time she 's done this . stefan : huh , sounds like julie -- putting on a show to get attention . gabi : yeah , you should have been there -- this one was emmy - worthy . ben : i raided the vending machine . energy bar , trail mix , and water . ciara : you did n't have to do all this . ben : here . ciara : [ hitches breath ] [ sighs ] ben : our chinese picnic ended up in the trash . you need to keep your energy up . ciara : a fortune cookie 's never said anything about this , ben . ben : hey . look at me . grandma 's gon na be okay , okay ? and i 'm gon na be with you every step of the way , all right ? ciara : [ sniffles ] okay . ben : okay . ciara : [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] um , how 's grandma ? how 's -- how 's my oma julie ? sarah : she 's stable . ciara : so does that mean she 's gon na be okay ? sarah : well , they 're -- they 're taking her for some tests and we should know more shortly . ciara : tests ? what -- what kind of tests ? sarah : i 'll let you know as soon as i know . ciara : she 's keeping something from me . ben : well , maybe there 's just not much to tell yet . ciara : no , i do n't know , ben . it 's this vibe i have . i have this feeling that something is going on and it 's bad , right ? because if it was good then she would tell me , right ? ben : you do n't know that . it 's stefan . ciara : [ sniffs ] ben : says he needs me . it 's urgent .

brady : i 'm sorry . nicole , i ca n't do it . theresa : wait , listen . it 's called an equity group , and i read that if you get one smart , savvy businessperson who everyone respects to go in first , then it attracts others . maggie : and why do you think i would do it ? you have a very short memory . theresa : so you 're what ? holding a grudge ? maggie : no , but it 's fair to say that you have been less than dependable in my experience . theresa : oh , maggie , come on . listen , you live with me . you know i hardly even drink anymore , and that 's since way before tate came home . listen , i am dependable . maggie : you do n't know the first thing about running a business . theresa : i know you need a product to sell . and listen , there are people at basic black who know how to balance the books and do a business plan or whatever , but what they need is a vision . they need a brand , an image , and that 's me . maggie : so you 're the image of basic black ? they do n't need a figurehead . theresa : i do n't mean me , like , `` oh , here i am standing at my desk . my power suit matches the curtains . `` i mean , like , look , these . maggie : did you just throw these together last night ?

i have a talent ? brady : you want me to convince my dad to sell you a still big company for less than asking price ? nicole : at first . less at first , but i am good for it . brady : i do n't get it . nicole , this is not just a challenge . this is like tying an anvil around your neck . if you bite off more than you chew , it could -- nicole : okay , why do n't you want to help me , brady ? brady : hold on . i did n't say that . nicole : you said everything but yes . why ? brady : i do n't think you should get yourself involved in something rash that could backfire . nicole : you do n't trust me , do you ? john : i -- i did n't -- it did n't really feel like that kind of a call . marlena : of course not , because it 's your job . it 's your duty , so it 's easy for you . john : doc , i did n't plan this . they just called . it 'll be a day or two , tops . marlena : mm - hmm . john : this is torture for me . marlena : you think ? john : well , not as much torture as the look on your face right now , but enough . marlena : this does n't work . john : doc , i 'm gon na make it up to you . i promise . you are the most important aspect in my life , and we have worked so hard to get back to this point . i do n't want to blow it . marlena : then do n't . joey : why did i have to come here ? kayla : because i did n't want to get into this in the middle of my family pub , and apparently you needed a little space . joey : space ? so no one can hear you scream ? kayla : you know , joey , i need your help with this . you did n't want to go back to school in ohio . you made that spectacularly clear . so i worked so hard to get you placed here in a school in salem , and you are making a joke . joey : i 'm not a potted plant . kayla : what ? joey : i do n't want to be placed . kayla : what , you do n't want to go back to school ? i 'm sorry , you have to . it 's the law . joey : i did n't have to go to ohio . you just dumped me there after dad took off . kayla : you know , i never heard anything about that -- joey : did you want to hear ? i hated that place , and this other place would be the same . i do n't want prep school . it 's not me . kayla : well , what is you , joey ? joey : public school is fine . kayla : no , i -- i do n't think that 's a good fit for you . joey : but it 's what i want . why do n't you for once ask me what i want , instead of always -- kayla : is this because -- is this because your dad took off ? joey : what ? that is so random . kayla : look , i know that you 've been so angry with him . i was too . joey : yeah , right . you 're the reason he took off in the first place . steve : what the hell is that supposed to mean , anyway ? steve : how are things going with your family reunion ? steve : it 's hard to say . victor : not for me . in a word , it sucks . not going anywhere . so you come over here and rattle my cage about bo . go home , steve . take care of your own business . steve : i can do more than one thing at a time . victor : not when one is an uphill climb , and the other one is impossible . you want to prove to kayla that you 're back and that you 're reliable ? go be reliable . leave bo out of it . not gon na make any points with me or with hope . god knows you 're not gon na help bo . john : you 're right . marlena : so you do see how unfair it is of you to romance me and then do a 180-degree turn , leaving me alone , wondering if you 're gon na be dead or alive the next time i see you . john : this is john black . i ca n't make it into d.c. today , so why do n't we reschedule for first thing next week ? i 'm sure . it 's gon na have to wait . thanks . marlena : wow . john : should have done that the first time . marlena : yeah , thank you . why did n't you ? i know why . john : hmm ? marlena : because you made it all up . there never was a meeting . you made up the meeting so you could cancel it and then be my hero . john : you have a devious mind , do n't you ? marlena : yeah , yeah , let me see your phone . john : no , come on , do n't . marlena : let me just take a look who you were talking to . john : no , no , no . marlena : come on . john : is that really what you think of me ? marlena : you know exactly what i think of you . let me take a look . let me take a -- brady : it 's not about trusting you . nicole : wow . brady : i know you mean everything you 're saying . i 'm being protective . nicole : of who ? john ? because i do n't need protecting . brady : until you do . nicole : okay , things are a lot worse than i thought if you ca n't imagine me succeeding . brady : hold on , hold on . that 's not true . i did n't say that . nicole : i remind you of a time when i kicked butt running a business , but it does n't seem to register . brady : all right , look , i do n't know , i do n't know . listen , maybe -- maybe you 're right . i am skeptical , but you have screwed up a bit since then . nicole : who has n't ? okay , you know what ? maybe my screw - ups were more dramatic than some . brady : i can probably give you a run for your money on that count . nicole : yes , you can , but somehow you get a second chance , third , fourth , fifth , sixth -- brady : all right , true , true . nicole : because brady , people want to see you do well . you know , maybe if you help me , people want to see me do well . you owe it to me . brady : really ? nicole : yeah , and you owe it to yourself , because you were a former screw - up . do this , and you could be the patron saint of former screw - ups . brady : ooh . would i get my own day ? nicole : and a statue . theresa : this is one i put together last night . and listen , they 're just preliminary , okay ? they 're more impressions . maggie : why did n't you tell your mother that this was your passion ? theresa : well , i could n't . i had already heard a verdict . maggie : it 's hard to believe that you could n't speak up and make her understand . theresa : right . so this is my fault . maggie : no , it 's not . theresa : never mind that my brother sucked all the air out of the room , and my mom was ... i guess i just let their judgments shut me up , and then i found boys , and i just checked out . but listen , that was a long time ago , and i 'm taking charge of my dreams now . you think the work is good , right ? maggie : yeah , it is . listen , i 'm no expert , but i know what i like . theresa : okay , good , and there 's people at basic black who know how to build , who know how to refine things , and i mean , maggie , their stuff is so well- made , but it 's so boring , and i just -- i think if they had the right designs , it could be a whole new beginning for them and me . maggie : theresa , it 's still a big leap . you could be setting yourself up for a very big fall . theresa : i know , but look , maggie , i ca n't just start at the bottom and hope that someday somebody lets me take a baby step . listen , i have a son now , and i have a lot to prove . and i know that it 's gon na be hard to convince you , and it 's going to be even harder to convince john , but i am not going to give up on my dreams this time , okay ? so listen , here it is . here 's what i want and what i 'm willing to give you for it . listen , maggie , i know that you think i 'm a hot mess , and maybe it 's hard for you to imagine me succeeding anywhere , but come on . is n't that the beginning of every success story , of every meeting you 've ever been to ? just think about it . kayla : did your father say that ? joey : he did n't have to . i can tell . kayla : you know , you 're right , joey . i have made choices for you , but i 'm the mom , and that 's my job . i tried to make the very best choices i could , and i 'm sorry if you felt that you did n't have a big enough say in that . we can do better with that . you know , joey , i never wanted this to be your childhood . i -- i did n't want you to come from a broken home . joey : then why did you break it ? kayla : your dad and i just ... we got to a place where it was n't working . joey : you just gave up . kayla : what ? joey : you drove him away , and then he stayed away . kayla : no , no , no , that 's not what happened . you are making this so hard for me . i do n't want to talk bad about your dad , and god knows i have made mistakes , but there 's one thing that you need to be very clear about . i am not the reason your father left . steve : you 're right . things are a little bit rough with kayla and joe right now , but i 'm not giving up on them , and i still want to find bo . victor : does this give you a convenient excuse to leave town again and look noble doing it ? steve : you really think i 'm that big a dog ? victor : i know you are . steve : victor , i am not trying to duck out of town , and not that it 's any of your business , but yeah , i would like to try to prove to kayla that she can trust me again . victor : and you think finding her brother is gon na do that for you ? steve : i 'm worried about bo . what 's up with you , man ? have you just gotten used to it ? i want to find him for his sake and for hope 's and kayla 's and ciara 's and yours . so why do n't you stop treating me like the enemy and help me figure out what happened to bo ? john : desayuno . marlena : oh , you did n't . john : huevos rancheros . marlena : everything is forgiven . john : really , it was that easy ? no , really ? if i promised you huevos rancheros every morning in bed , you might want to make this official ? marlena : official ? what does official mean ? john : married . i mean , do we really want to live in sin at this point in our lives ? marlena : i kind of like it . john : what 's it gon na take , doc ? i mean , last night was some of my best stuff . marlena : i know . john : i was talking about the trip down memory lane . marlena : so was i . john : and it was n't enough ? you know i 'm not gon na give up , doc , and i will wear you down . marlena : let 's make a deal . brady : i 've always wanted my own statue , you know . nicole : ten feet tall . i 'll put it in the front offices . i 'll even name the company after you . brady : it 's already called basic black . nicole : see ? it 's meant to be . brady : okay . listen , i 'm not sure about going to my father and asking him to lower the price , but i will lend you half the money to -- nicole : really ? oh , oh , oh , oh , oh , oh , oh . brady : it 's okay . nicole : thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you . you 're wonderful . thank you so much . you have no idea how much this means to me . thank you , thank you . brady : i 'm sure i 'm doing the right thing . nicole : you 're the best friend ever . oh , i can always rely on you . thank you so much . brady : you 're welcome . victor : no , i did n't get used to bo being gone , and it made no sense to me that he would go . steve : so you must have checked it out . victor : of course i did . steve : and i 'm not talking about calling the isa . victor : of course not . that would get me nowhere . i did manage to scrape together a few clues , which i sent off to my people . steve : did they come up with anything ? victor : not much . i 'll show you the report . steve : that 's a start . we 're gon na bring bo home . victor : you know , if he wanted it . steve : what ? victor : i 'm not sure bo wants to be home . you know , he did n't have to go , but he chose work , and it cost him his wife . sound familiar ? nicole , thank you , thank you . brady : you 're welcome , welcome , welcome . nicole : oh , and it 's official ; it 's st. brady day . thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you . brady : go get 'em . nicole : oh , hey , did i thank you ? brady : i do n't think you have yet . nicole : thank you ! brady : you 're welcome . theresa : she seemed happy . what , did she win the lottery ? brady : she thinks . i 'm not so sure , though . theresa : what 's going on ? brady : nicole is making a bid on basic black , and she asked for my help . theresa : you ca n't do that to me . john : what kind of deal ? marlena : i will exchange wedding vows with you . john : i 'll call st. luke 's right now . marlena : no , no . slow down . i will exchange wedding vows with you right here on the bed . john : does n't sound very official . marlena : it 's not . it 's provisional . if you can walk the talk for one month , then we 'll make it real . kayla : you 've grown up so much . you know , it 's -- it 's hard for me to accept that sometimes , but you 're right . you are old enough to have a bigger say in the decisions and to hear more things . joey : the truth ? kayla : you know , joey , i -- i do n't know if there 's only one truth . your dad 's a pretty restless guy . when i first met him , i do n't think he committed to anything that was n't right in front of his face . i do n't know if he can be a steady person for anyone . you need to hear that . i have tried so hard to protect us , and i wo n't let him hurt me again like that , and i hope he does n't hurt you either . but i guess that 's for you to decide now . steve : that 's one flimsy report . victory : yeah , well , my men could only follow bo so far . they were in the balkans , and they got grabbed by some isa shadow . they said they were putting bo 's life in jeopardy . steve : so you had to back off . victor : well , i did n't want to get him killed . the isa promised that they would make sure that he could get through to us in the future . steve : did he ? victor : a couple of letters . steve : do you have those letters ? victor : oh , like letters from camp . `` i 'm fine . how are you ? `` absolutely nothing of value . steve : well , let me take a look just in case . john : doc -- no , marlena . i take you to be my wife ... and i will love and cherish you and honor and protect you , and i 'm gon na wake up grateful every morning for that chance . and this time i promise you i 'm gon na get it right , to be worthy of you and to give you the life that you have deserved all along , for as long as we both shall live . marlena : ditto . john : ditto ? quite the poet . [ laughs ] marlena : i knew i was going to spend the rest of my life with you from the first moment i laid eyes on you . i really want this life for us . i really want this to work , and i want to love and honor and cherish you and help make for you the life that you deserve as long as we both shall live . john : ditto . [ laughs ] and by the power vested in me from my heart , i pronounce us provisionally married . one month ? marlena : start the clock . theresa : i was serious about buying basic black . brady : i 'm not doing this . theresa : well , i know you did n't believe me , but i 've been working on it ever since , brady , and listen , if you help nicole -- brady : no , no , no . nicole has corporate experience . she helped me run titan for a while . theresa : sure , and then what ? she just walked away , got distracted ? come on , why does she want basic black ? brady : she sees it as an opportunity . theresa : yeah , but does she have the passion for it , or does she just want the title ? because i have a vision for the company , okay ? i have actual plans , not just some flow charts , and -- brady : hold on , hold on . you told me that this thing was a plan for a bomb . theresa : what ? brady : i remember this . it was behind the headboard of your old place . you never let me see what was inside it . theresa : that 's because i was embarrassed , but i 'm not now . look , these are my designs , okay ? this is what basic black needs , and i already had a meeting with maggie to discuss our equity group . brady : equity group ? you have an equity group ? theresa : well , it 's being formed but -- brady : theresa , listen . it 's -- it 's really good to go for things , all right ? but -- theresa : but what ? aim low ? do n't expect much ? just be a loser ? what , you think because i 've made mistakes in the past that that 's what i 'm gon na do now ? listen , brady , i just need a chance . brady : it 's `` groundhog day . `` oh , my god . my life is `` groundhog day . `` theresa : what ? brady : this is just the second time i 've heard this . theresa : okay . brady : and it 's just as true now as it was before . theresa : so does that mean that you 'll help me ? because i need big time help with john -- brady : hold on , hold on . i ca n't make you any promises . theresa : why not ? brady : because i just told nicole that i would help her , and i wo n't back out on that . steve : yeah , these letters are vague . it 's more like a travel log . victor : yeah , but you can bet that none of those is where he really is . steve : yeah , probably not . wait a minute . `` the water was so perfect . it was like being in the merchant marines seeing tahiti for the first time . `` well , uh ... victor : what ? steve : we never went to tahiti . victor : maybe he went without you . steve : no , bo and i did all our tours together . we never docked in tahiti , not once . okay , this one 's dated in july . victor : right . steve : `` give my love to hope and ciara ... `` july . no happy birthday to ciara . victor : well , maybe he wrote it in a hurry . steve : what , he forgot his daughter 's birthday ? victor : then it 's under stress . steve : victor , those are two things that bo would never get wrong . somebody else wrote these letters . victor : you think the isa did it to shut me up ? steve : maybe , but if not , bo is in big trouble .

[ scene_break ] bo : hope , if there was ever a time to give billie a break , this is it . she 's been looking for her daughter for a long time . she 's been dreaming of being with her , loving her , helping her through life 's -- hope : okay , i 'm sorry . i am trying to be as supportive as i possibly can .. but nothing is ever going to make me forget the way she took advantage of you when you were under the influence of the poison gas . she got you to make love to her . bo : i thought she was you . hope : exactly , and she knew that . how can you ... how can you expect me to ever trust that woman after that ? bo : hope , it 's not an issue of trusting billie . it 's an issue of trusting me . hope : yeah , but the thing is ... you 're so blind to the tricks she uses to get you , bo . and trust me -- she 'll find a way to use chelsea to bring you closer to her , as well . bo : hope , she does n't need tricks to bring me closer to her . we have a daughter together . we 've found her . we 're dedicated to being there for her . and you 're part of this whole picture , too . we have to find a way to deal with this new family situation . [ scene_break ] abby : look .... i know you want to pretend like you 've never met bo and billie , but you 've got to face the truth . they 're your parents whether you want them to be or not . chelsea : life sucks . then there 's billie 's mother . abby : your grandmother . chelsea : something tells me she does n't exactly bake cookies . and she turned me down when i asked her for a job at basic black . so she 's just as much of a witch as her daughter . must be the genes . abby : then i guess you have the same `` witchy `` genes . [ scene_break ] billie : mom , what will it take to get this through your head ? my life is all about georgia . ch - chelsea . okay ? [ clears throat ] i am her mother , and bo is her father , yes . but we do not have a future together , okay ? how many times do i have to tell you that ? kate : okay , okay . i 'll stop for now , all right ? billie : thank you . kate : but look -- you really need to stop pushing with chelsea . just take this from my experience , okay ? she knows that you 're there for her . she knows that she 's wanted . but if you insist upon it , i 'm really getting the feeling that she 's the type who 's just gon na end up pushing you further away . [ scene_break ] mimi : here 's the bubbly , ladies . chloe : thank you . belle : mimi , you know i ca n't drink . mimi : oh , that 's right . you 're pregnant . how could i forget ? [ scene_break ] bonnie : sad , is n't it ? meems and belle used to be such good buds . but when your best friend stabs you in the back , you 've got ta cut her out of your life . and the way she strung you along -- for shame . though in a way , i ca n't blame her . i mean , you and philip are pretty hunky . but the girl wanted to have it all -- married to moneybags kiriakis , with you on the side waiting for her . and you 're so loyal , you probably would have waited forever . though loyalty is a great quality . that 's why i 'm so glad you and my mimi have found each other . shawn d. : ms. lockhart , mimi and i are just friends . bonnie : yeah , sure . but you know that is the best way to start a relationship . hey , passion 's like champagne . once the bubbles are gone , yuck . a great wine -- ah , listen . a great wine gets better and better every year ... just like your friendship with mimi . shawn d. : mimi and i -- she 's great . bonnie : no , no , no . my little girl is the best . she is sensitive , considerate , always there to listen and make it better . she gets her compassionate side from me , though . [ chuckles ] mimi : what ? shawn d. : nothing . [ scene_break ] sami : grandma , i do n't even want to think about how many times i have been to the altar . caroline : maybe you 're trying to set some kind of record . sami : [ chuckles ] caroline : sami , no , this time it 's gon na work . sami : do n't do it . do n't jinx it . caroline : no , no , sweetheart . it 's going to work because of you and lucas ' relationship . it 's based on the right things . sami : [ sighs ] you 're right . what things ? what do you mean ? caroline : love . sami : yeah , that 's true . caroline : give - and - take . sami : definitely . caroline : honesty , truth , and , most important , trust . [ scene_break ] philip : hey , can we grab a chair ? brady : yeah , no problem . dude , i totally forgot that you , you know , you have a prosthetic and you 're walking again . philip : that 's what everybody keeps saying -- i got a prosthetic . and it 's weird , man . i just got ta get used to it . right now walking with a cane is actually pretty cool . i 'm actually on a list to get a more advanced prosthetic . i just have to learn to walk better . lucas : well , you 're going fine with the cane . brady : nice . lucas : beers for you guys . here you go . brady : so , when are we gon na hit the court and play a little one - on - one ? philip : whenever you want , as long as you 're okay with getting your ass kicked by a one - legger . brady : [ chuckling ] oh , you 're on , man . put 'em up . lucas : [ chuckles ] busted ! [ scene_break ] roman : john , what about the cellphone you gave him ? john : just goes to voice mail . roman : oh , well , obviously that means the damn thing 's off . john : yeah . roman : yeah . john : listen , roman ... lexie had me convinced that dr. north could help bring marlena 's memory back . but now i feel that handing her over the way i did , to a virtual stranger -- i do n't give a damn how many degrees he has -- was a total mistake . [ scene_break ] alex : so ... do you trust me ? marlena : [ chuckles ] you know i do . that 's such a relief to me . you know , before i came away with you , it was -- it was as though every moment was just torture -- people watching me expectantly , hoping that i would remember who they were . and , oh , i j -- it was just so much stress , i could n't stand it . alex : nobody could . marlena : the way you do that , you 're just so -- so reassuring . everybody else , no matter what the words were , just -- well , there were these accusations . but with you , you give me the freedom to be okay with not remembering . alex : [ southern accent ] well , glad to have been of some help , ma'am . marlena : [ laughs ] oh . alex : your husband keeps calling . marlena : i know . i 've been hearing the messages . i guess he wants me to attend some weddings -- a couple of my children are getting married . i do n't want to , and i guess i should feel guilty about that . alex : ah , ah , ah . no , you should n't . you ca n't help what you 're living through right now . marlena : there you go , making me feel normal . well , no -- almost normal .... with the way that i am . you see , it 's so difficult to keep disappointing people that watch you and want you to remember them . and that 's what would happen at the wedding if i went -- all those people staring at me . i just do n't -- i do n't think that i - i can do that . i just do n't think that i can do that . alex : well , that 's why i put off calling john back . i was worried you might be having second thoughts about going down to the weddings . marlena : can you imagine what that would be like ? i mean , sitting there and just wishing it would all be over . what would you like me to do ? alex : well , what i 'd like you to do ... is something that i think you have never experienced before in your life . marlena : what is it ? alex : i can assure you , it is one of life 's great pleasures . [ timer dings ] alex : oh ! it 's ready . excuse me . marlena : well , that 's mysterious ... but i guess everything is to me . [ scene_break ] hope : tell me something , okay ? um , has billie suggested that you , she , and chelsea need some alone time , just the three of you ? because if she has n't , she will . bo : let 's put the focus back where it belongs -- on my daughter . she 's going through a heck of a time right now , and i 'm gon na be there for her . hope : your daughter is beautiful ... very smart ... and knows how to play people off of each other . look at the way she got you , max , and patrick to turn on each other when we found her down at the beach . bo : are n't you being pretty tough on her ? she just had a terrible accident , lost the people she thought were her parents , just found out about her biological parents -- her world 's been turned upside down . makes sense to me that she 's acting out right about now . hope : you know , jennifer and i were talking , and , uh , she got the same take on her as i did . chelsea is out to get whatever she can out of this situation . you need to see that . bo : [ chuckling ] hope , that 's a rather cynical view . hope : it 's easier for me to be objective because chelsea is not my biological child . bo : and she is mine , and i know that 's not the problem . it 's that she 's billie 's and my daughter . and you ca n't get past that . [ scene_break ] caroline : i 'm surprised to see you here , kate . kate : well , i 'm not here for sami . of course , i 'm sure that does n't come as a surprise to either of you . probably no one in this room is here for sami . nope , chloe 's our girl . we 're happy for her because she 's marrying the man that she loves , and she deserves that . not you . sami : it is killing you that i am marrying lucas , 'cause you did your best to make sure that did n't happen . kate : oh , and i would do it all over again in a heartbeat , because you are a disaster . and i 'm sure if i took a survey , everyone would agree with that -- of course , except for your grandmother . but , then again , caroline always has been too nice . caroline : sami , sami . let it go . let it go . kate has her own problems . kate : a glass of white wine , please . you certainly are putting your college education to good use , are n't you ? she 's married to my son . do n't forget that . [ scene_break ] bonnie : no matter how you dress it up , trash is trash . shawn d. : [ chuckles ] bonnie : hon ... it hurts me to see how much it hurts you looking at your ex . and believe me -- i know what that 's like . i 'll handle the bar . you go join the bachelor party for a while . shawn d. : yeah ? are you sure ? bonnie : go , go , get , get . now . hustle . shawn d. : do n't have to tell me twice . bonnie : i hope not . [ chuckles ] yes , this is bonnie lockhart , at alice 's . where is he ? mimi : what are you up to ? [ scene_break ] kate : hey , girls . abby : hey . kate : hi , abby . hi , chelsea . chelsea : granny kate . what do you want ? kate : i think that we should meet again ... officially . billie : hey , mom , what 's going on ? kate : hey . is there anything wrong with me introducing myself to my granddaughter ? chelsea : we already met ... at the coffee shop , remember ? i asked you for a job . kate : yes , i do remember , and it did n't go very well , did it ? as a matter of fact , i think i was downright rude . billie : hmm . kate : hmm . i should probably apologize for that , but , you know , given the type of job that i have , people are always hitting me up for work . but if i had known that you were billie 's daughter , things would have gone a lot differently . believe me . so , should we start over again ? chelsea : i 'm just curious -- how do you lose your own kid ? i mean , you and bo say that you loved me so much , so how did you lose me ? billie : chelsea , it 's a really long story . and i would like to tell you all about it later . chelsea : fine . let 's go . billie : no , wait . chelsea , wait . all i meant was it 's personal . and i will tell you about it , in private . but i can tell you this -- i did n't ... bo and i were told that you were stillborn . it has to do with this family called the dimera 's and stefano dimera 's obsession on ruining the lives of the people in this town . and to be honest with you , we do n't even know all the answers . but we do know this -- you and i -- we have each other . i 'm your mother , and bo is your father . can we start with that ? chelsea : what am i supposed to call you -- `` mom `` ? i had a mom . that 's what i called her . billie : how about `` billie `` ? is that okay ? chelsea : i guess . sure . billie . look , i do n't mean to make this hard for you and bo . i just need more time , i guess . billie : yeah , sure , mm - hmm . we 'll talk later . we 'll talk later . chelsea : okay . thanks , billie . billie : oh , mom . abby : why are you being so nice to them all of a sudden ? chelsea : abby , i just went through a traumatic experience . i do need time to figure everything out , to process things ... like , for one , how i 'm gon na make this big farce pay off into something really , really big . [ scene_break ] lucas : be careful . yeah . victor : well , lucas , i was like a father to you for a few years . would you like some fatherly advice ? lucas : not if you 're gon na tell me not to marry sami . victor : in that case , all i 'll say is , uh , i hope you know what you 're doing . roman : john , listen to me . all i 'm saying is i do n't trust this alex north . like you said , i do n't care how many degrees he 's got . i think , if it was me , there 's no way in hell i 'd let marlena -- john : i told you , roman . i 've checked the man out . i did n't send her up there with some quack . roman : all i 'm saying is there 's something wrong with -- john : all right , i get your point . you think i made the wrong call . what 's really eating you up is that it 's my call to make and not yours because she 's still my wife . but you forgot about that when you took advantage of her and you got her pregnant , did n't you ? it 's what got us in this mess here , so you hold yourself responsible , roman , because i do . [ scene_break ] alex : this is an ancient heat - therapy technique used to achieve complete relaxation . marlena : mmm . it 's working . alex : that 's because the stones are heated to precisely two degrees above body temperature . the warmth from the stones relieves all of your stress . marlena : stress ? what stress ? alex : ahh . shh . try not to talk . just give in to the warmth , the sense of peace . marlena : [ sighs ] how can i ever thank you ? alex : knowing that i 'm helping you is all the thanks i need . but do n't think you 're getting off easy . this is just the start of our treatment today . later on , i 'm hoping to try some hypnotherapy . marlena : mmm . is n't that dangerous ? alex : no , not at all . in fact , you used it quite extensively in your practice . marlena : i did ? alex : mm - hmm . but do n't worry . you ca n't be forced to do anything you would n't feel comfortable doing in a conscious state . marlena : really . alex : mm , really ... unless , of course , the practitioner was someone who was unscrupulous and untrustworthy . marlena : you mean someone the opposite of you . alex : all i want to do is help you , marlena . [ scene_break ] hope : no , it 's not just because chelsea is yours and billie 's . am i thrilled that the two of you share a child ? what do you think ? but she is your daughter , so she 's my stepdaughter . all i 'm saying is i think you should be prepared , okay ? i want to be there as much as i can for her , but you need to prepare yourself . she is a teenager with problems , bo . and she is all over the map emotionally , and more than a tad manipulative . jennifer agrees with me . i know that you 're carrying all this guilt around , okay , because you were n't there all those years . but you just want to keep looking the other way as much as possible . bo : i want things to work out , hope . i 'll tell you something . they will . everything 's gon na be fine . hope : i 'm pulling for you . bo : you 're pulling for us . we 're all a family now . shawn and zach -- they 've got a new sister . and we 've got another child to share our lives with , okay ?

[ scene_break ] lucas : what are you saying , huh ? what are you saying , that austin still has feelings for carrie ? is that what you 're saying ? what , are you rooting for him to get back with my wife ? thanks . billie : lucas , hold on . i am not rooting for anyone to get hurt . lucas : nice . billie : but i -- i do think that he still loves her . do n't you ? lucas : you heard what he said at the wedding , right ? he said he loves her and he wants to spend the rest of his life with sami . that 's what he said . and now that they 're talking , it 's just a matter of time before that wedding 's back on . mark my words .

[ exhales ] everything is gon na be okay . chad : [ chuckles ] that 's supposed to be my line . melanie : i know . maggie was just as worried as i am about nick going free . and if it were n't for me , she would have been behind him 100 % . chad : well , she loves you . melanie : and i love her too . which is why i have to do for nick what she did for me , and that 's give him a second chance . chad : well , lucky for us , it 'll be in a city far , far away . thank god he decided to go off with his mom . melanie : yes . they can start their life , and we can start ours .

[ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sami : let me guess who you think the new ceo should be , you . kate : sadly , no . because i think it 's all over for countess `` w `` . now that you no longer have lucas cleaning up after you , i think you 're going to drive my company right into the ground . sami : it 's not yours anymore . kate : i think it was worth the sacrifice , especially if lucas has finally escaped your evil clutches once and for all . sami : well , at least i did n't have to sleep my way to the top , like you did with creepy ian . though i 'm sure you 're very happy that he is in the loony bin . of course , well , it puts you out of a job . kate : on the contrary , i 'm staying on at mad world as ceo . brady and victor promoted me . sami : are you kidding ? kate : no . no , i 'm not . i 'm also not kidding that this is war , sami . and my guns are a lot bigger than yours . so prepare yourself , because i am taking you down .

sami : why do you think that the prosecutor asked for a continuance ? ej : well , it could be any one of a number of reasons . sami : but abe made it seem like it was good news . so ... justin , do you know what this is all about ? justin : well , i 'd imagine it has something to do with the new evidence that 's come to light . is n't that right , ej ? kate : kayla , glad i tracked you down . kayla : what 's wrong , kate ? kate : plenty . and since you 're the chief of staff of that pathetic excuse for a hospital , perhaps you can explain to me how stefano dimera got access to rafe 's room . jordan : easy now . rafe : no , i 'm not gon na take it easy . until i 'm on my feet ... until i 'm myself again . [ straining ] nicole : eric , um , i was wondering if -- hey ... what 's wrong ? eric : nothing . nicole : really ? you look kind of wiped . maybe you should ... try to take a nap . eric : i 'm good . really , i 'm okay . nicole : no , you 're not . maxine : nice to see that smile . good news ? jennifer : yes . jj got an 86 on his first summer final . maxine : way to go , jj . jennifer : yes ! well , considering he got a 52 on his last test , i am ready to break out the champagne . i 'm telling you , maxine , i think my son has finally turned a corner -- daniel : oh . rory said you guys could hook me up ? jj : yeah . top - quality stuff . no - return policy . got it . [ footsteps ] rory : aw , crap . fellas , a little wholesome summer fun , huh ? excuse me . looks like you guys wo n't see the outside for a while . you 're under arrest . jj : what the ... hope : i heard the request for back -- sami : what evidence ? justin : apparently , bernardi opened a bank account for his son . the balance was over $ 100,000 . sami : well , that 's certainly enough to prove that he is a dirty cop . ej : uh , how -- how did they stumble across this evidence ? justin : actually , it 's pretty ironic . adrienne , of all people , saw timmy 's deposit slip and then tipped off abe . ej : my goodness . well , this continuance , do we know how long trask is requesting ? justin : no . i 'll know more when we go before the judge . ej : okay , well , look , if we 're not heading into court immediately , i 'm going to take care of a couple of things back at the office . sami : um , okay . sure . ej : okay . i 'll be back as soon as i can . justin : anything i can help with ? ej : no , thank you . um , see ? told you . keep the faith . i 'll be back soon , okay ? sami : well , this is good news , right ? i mean , $ 100,000 , that 's a real chance to prove that he 's dirty , which clears my name . justin : yes , if it turns out to be true ... it probably will . nicole : i know it 's insane , brady coming to you , asking for your blessing to marry the spawn of satan ... eric : nicole -- nicole : and i know i was dumb enough to marry ej twice , but compared to his sister , he is prince charming . eric : nicole , you ca n't know what 's going on in brady 's head . nicole : because there 's nothing going on in his head . that 's the problem . please tell me you did n't say what brady wanted to hear . eric : i ca n't tell you that , nicole . jennifer : sorry . i should have been watching where i was going . daniel : likewise . jennifer : i just got some really great news . jj did great on his first final . daniel : i -- i heard . jennifer : yeah , i mean , it might not seem that great to you , but i 'm really proud of him . i really feel like he 's turning things around . hope : jj , what happened ? jj : i know what it looks like , but you 've got ta listen to me , it 's not what you think . nicole : you did n't tell brady that you would marry him in the church ... eric : i ca n't tell you what i discussed with brady , because it 's confidential . nicole : i was in the room . eric : until you left . nicole : oh -- oh , my god . my head is gon na explode . are you serious ? eric : i guess we wo n't return to that conversation , will we ? oh , by the way , i still owe you a check . nicole : for what ? eric : uh , settling up for the hotel bill that night i got sick . nicole : oh , come on . eric , please , te -- you ca n't tell me you 're okay with your brother throwing his life away with that -- i do n't even have an appropriate word to say in front of you ! anyone can see that you 're tortured . unless something else is wrong . is there ? daniel : i 'm glad jj is doing so well . i hope he keeps it up . jennifer : thank you . daniel : yep . jennifer : uh -- daniel : [ clears throat ] jj : hope , it 's not what -- hope : i would n't say another word without your attorney present . jj : why ? i did n't do -- hope : and do n't tell me you did n't do it . you were caught in the act of selling drugs . you ca n't explain that away , jj . jj : but i can explain why . hope : okay , i 'm listening . jj : okay , i had this huge fight with my mom -- hope : about what ? jj : it was about daniel . so look , i was just in a really bad place when my friend rory reminded me that i owed him some cash ... like now , today . he told me that we 'd be settled up if i helped him . so it was n't my idea or my fault . hope : no , i 'm sorry , jj , but this is your fault . the why , it does n't matter . how ridiculous is that ? the point is you were dealing drugs . now you 're gon na deal with the consequences . let 's go . rafe : what are you -- what are you doing ? jordan : you are done for the day . rafe : i could have done , like , ten more reps . jordan : you could also do a lot more damage by pushing too hard . rafe : okay , listen , i know my body , all right ? jordan : your grip strength is 28 bilaterally . your lean body mass is 85 % , and your shoulder range of motion is 60 degrees medially . if you continue to push , you risk a serious setback . is that something you want , mr. hernandez ? kate : stefano is a maniac who has a personal vendetta against rafe . kayla : if you 're concerned about rafe 's safety , then maybe you should speak to the police department about getting him 24-hour protection . kate : ha ! believe me , i would pay anything to make that happen . kayla : and what makes you think that you would be any happier with his security than you are with the therapist that you hired ? kate : so are you telling me it 's unreasonable to expect good care for rafe ? kayla : no , i just think that the decisions about his care should be made by rafe . i will talk to him about what happened with stefano , okay ? and then we 'll take it from there . kate : i 'll tell you exactly what happened with stefano . he threatened rafe 's life . kayla : did rafe tell you that ... or did stefano ? sami : well , why would n't it be true ? i mean , we know that bernardi was working for stefano , so obviously he had to stash the money somewhere . justin : yes , but an offshore account or a secret safe somewhere is the usual m.o . i mean , what if timmy decides he wants to make a withdrawal ... or tell his best friend that he 's the richest third - grader in america ? sami : well , right , but he would have to have his name on it , because that 's the only way he could access it to take money out or put money in . or marge would have had to know . justin : no , she did n't . actually , she was quite shocked . sami : that must have been hard for her to find out that she did n't know her husband at all . justin : yeah , well , when yore in love with somebody , it 's easy to see what you want to see ... and ignore what you do n't . sami : are we still talking about marge bernardi , or are we talking about me now ? ej : think very carefully before you answer this question , mr. stoller . stoller : wh - what 's that , sir ? ej : the police discovered the funds you put in timothy bernardi 's account . now , if they were to request the consult of a forensic accountant , how long would it be before they realized the money had been placed there after bernardi died ? jordan : i asked you a question , mr. hernandez . rafe : what do i want ? i want my life back . i want to be able to answer a phone or pick up a fork or to press a damn call button when i need to . actually , you know what ? i do n't want to press a button . i do n't want -- i just want to get out of this damn bed and out of this hospital and back on my two feet again . jordan : well , in that case , i need you to listen , follow my instructions , and do exactly what i tell you to do . and if you do n't think you can comply , then i should probably say good - bye and good luck right now . kate : you know what stefano is capable of . kayla : of course i do . which is why i know that if he wanted rafe dead , he would already be dead . kate : he 's biding his time . kayla : you know , not only is stefano on the board , he is the hospital 's top donor . so what would you like me to do ? is there any other board members that you would like me to bar from visiting the third and fourth floor just on your say - so ? kate : [ scoffs ] wow . so do you mind if i hire a private guard ? kayla : i will need rafe to agree to that first . okay ? have a good day . kate : damn you . damn you , stefano . justin : why would you ask me that ? sami : i know what you 're thinking . that i was even willing to think about taking the prosecutor 's deal to sell ej down the river . justin : sami , i am not making any judgments here . sami : well , i am . i ca n't believe i was even considering it . that i was just -- i was just desperate . you know , i was just desperate to get out of that cell . i was desperate to be with my kids . justin : of course . you thought if you gave up ej , that he 'd find some way to get out of it anyway . sami : well , he is smart . you know , i mean , i do think he could have made some sort of deal . justin : right . and ultimately , you could n't take that chance , could you ? sami : the kids need him . hell , i need him . so here we are again . ultimately it was a sami brady 100 % selfish decision . justin : no , it was n't . i think you 'd do anything for the man you love . and he 'd do anything for you . ej : you told me they could not work out where the money came from . but if they can work out when ... stoller : as i said before , if the investigators follow typical protocol , they 'll never know . ej : right , but what if they become suspicious ? if they dig deep ? they bring in an fbi expert . how long ? stoller : a week and a half . two . but they 'll probably give up long before then . ej : melinda trask does not give up . stoller : i really do n't think we have anything to worry about . ej : pray you 're right . nicole : if something 's bothering you , eric , you know you do n't have to just keep it between you and god . sometimes you actually have to talk to a person . you can talk to me . eric : i know i can . nicole : but you wo n't . i get it . you only need a friend when it 's convenient for you . eric : nicole -- nicole : but , you know , you put that collar on ... eric : nicole , please stop . nicole : and you hide right behind it -- you know what ? just forget i said anything . i 'm going . [ phone ringing ] daniel : hello ? eric : daniel , hey , it 's eric . i just wanted to see if i could stop by . daniel : yeah . when were you thinking ? eric : how about now ? hope : any idea who tipped you off ? yeah , it was just some kid . said that a couple of guys from salem high were dealing . hope : so you set up the sting . and the rest is history . i have a feeling we 're gon na get two very different stories here . well , at least one of 'em has a casual relationship with the truth . call rory 's parents for me . sure . hope : thank you . i 'll deal with jj deveraux . time to call your mom .

[ door opens ] ej : hello , hello . sami : i 'm glad you 're back . ej : darling . these are from the children . they made you some cards . forgot to give them to you earlier . sami : oh , that 's really sweet . ej : you 're not going to open them ? sami : well , i do n't want to cry . justin : ej , i 'm glad you 're back . i was just thinking how this continuance actually might work in our favor . ej : uh , no . no continuance . we 're fighting any delays of this trial , justin . we are going full steam ahead . [ knock on door ] kayla : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't know you were in the middle of a session . i 'll just come back later . jordan : it 's okay . we 're definitely done for now . kayla : hmm . rafe : thank you , actually , for rescuing me from drill sergeant ridgeway . kayla : oh , she 's working you hard , is she ? rafe : yeah , she works me hard , she rests me hard . she just basically likes to boss me around . kayla : well , that 's great . then she 's doing her job . rafe : well ... kayla : listen , i know that you are getting impatient . anybody in your situation would be . but you 're gon na get there . rafe : i hope so . kayla : listen , um , do you mind ? i need to talk to you about something else . you know patient safety is a foremost concern -- rafe : oh , for god -- did kate say something to you about stefano ? kate : jordan , if i could have a word ? jordan : yes ? kate : i 'd like an update on rafe 's progress . jordan : and why would i give you one ? jj : did you know that my mom was lying about breaking up with daniel ? i walked in on ' em -- hope : we 're not talking about your mom and daniel . jj : i 'm just explaining how -- i never thought that she would do something like this , just ... i was feeling really angry . hope : hold that thought . jennifer : wha -- what happened ? hope : take a deep breath . jennifer : was he arrested for shoplifting again ? hope : no . jennifer : oh , good , 'cause i was so afraid -- hope : listen to me . jennifer : what ? hope : he 's being charged with selling drugs . eric : [ sighs ] daniel : okay , i will do anything to help you . you know that , right ? eric : yeah , i appreciate it . daniel : but without the evidence that mason collected , all i can do now is just , i guess , just look at your blood work again . eric : i know , i 'm grasping at straws . daniel : can you tell me more about what you remember ? anything . anything would help . eric : i saw a matchbook from the hotel earlier , and i just ca n't stop thinking about it . daniel : okay , well , is that it ? eric : no , it 's nothing specific , it 's just -- i do n't know , it 's just something just does n't feel right . i told father matt that maybe something in me just does n't want to remember . but now , i ... want to know . kate : what did you just say to me ? jordan : i 'm sure you 're familiar with doctor - patient confidentiality . i ca n't speak to you about mr. hernandez 's condition without his permission . kate : i 'm the one who -- jordan : you 're the one who what ? kate : i care for rafe . his sister recently had a baby , and i 'm the one who is here day in and day out , so -- jordan : well , that does n't entitle you to privileged information . excuse me . rafe : i really wish she had n't said anything . kayla : did he threaten you ? i really need to know that . rafe : no . not exactly . just wanted to make sure that i was well aware of my position in this hospital bed . helpless . kayla : you are not helpless . rafe : i pretty much am , actually , you know . and my ex - wife is about to stand trial for murdering a guy who may or may not have been sent here to kill me with a razor blade by stefano , depending on who you talk to . kayla : i can speak to the police and have them put the guard back outside the door . would that make you feel more comfortable ? rafe : uh , no , actually . i think the salem p.d . has much better things to do than to stand in my door and to watch me struggle trying to stretch a rubber band . kayla : kate has offered to hire someone privately . rafe : you know , i do n't need protection . i just need to get out of this hospital and to get better . kayla : well , we 're working on that , right ? rafe : yeah . kayla : yeah . rafe : right . i mean , do you really think that jordan can deliver on her promises ? kayla : i think she 's your very best bet . kate : oh , god . maxine : pretty bad , huh ? kate : oh , it 's vile . maxine : not just the coffee , though , is it ? kate : [ sighs ] maxine : that 's got you agitated ? kate : no . maxine : stefano ? kate : were you here when he came to the hospital ? maxine : no , i did n't have the privilege . i heard he was here , though . kate : bastard . maxine : kate , after what happened before , do you really think that someone 's gon na come in here and try to hurt rafe again ? kate : clearly , you do not know stefano . maxine : not well , no . though i have had my encounters with the man . kate : i bet you gave him a run for his money . maxine : oh , i stood up to him , all right . let him know who was boss . [ both chuckle ] kate : well , if anyone could intimidate stefano dimera , it would be you . maxine : kate , do n't worry . only medical staff and people who love him -- and there are plenty of those -- will be allowed in his room from this moment on . trust me , okay ? that 's a promise . kate : okay . maxine : so while i pour myself a cup of this vile coffee , how 'bout you go and see him ? kate : i think that 's just what i 'm gon na do . maxine : [ chuckles ] kate : thanks . maxine : honey , cut yourself a break . you are not responsible for what happened . justin : why would you turn down the chance to look for more evidence to exonerate sami ? sami : yeah , you thought that the continuance was a good thing . ej : because if melinda trask is worried , and i know her , she 'll be working twice as hard to find evidence against you . sami : like what ? ej : do we want to wait to find out ? justin : it 's also possible that she could drop the charges , knowing that the case is now no longer winnable . ej : okay , but then she could refile the charges . she did that once before . i mean , samantha , do you really want this cloud hanging over your head again ? sami : no , of course not . but the only reason that she refiled the charges is because she saw the video of me attacking bernardi , courtesy of adrienne kiriakis . but that 's not gon na happen again . i mean , if this money proves that bernardi was dirty , then what other evidence could possibly come to light that would make me seem guilty ? justin : that 's exactly what i was thinking . i 'm gon na take mr. deveraux , get his prints . jennifer : did he tell you what happened ? hope : he claims he was coerced by his friend into helping with this transaction ... that he 'd never done anything like this before . jennifer : right . did you believe him ? hope : listen , whatever happened , he needs an attorney right away before he says anything more . jennifer : um , do you have justin 's number ? hope : yeah . jennifer : oh , wait , he 's starting sami 's trial later today . hope : i know one of his associates . i hear he 's very good . you know what , let me see if i can grab justin before he gets into court , okay ? jennifer : yeah , i appreciate that . hope : love you . jennifer : love you . jj : mom ... i can explain . jennifer : oh , i 'm sure you can . kayla : you can go in and see rafe now if you want . kate : ms. ridgeway refuses to update me on rafe 's progress . kayla : as it should be . hipaa regulations and all that . kate : i pay her salary , kayla . kayla : i know . you 've told me . on numerous occasions . you know , if rafe wants you to be updated on his care , all you have to do is ask him to sign a waiver . kate : that simple ? kayla : mm - hmm . well , it should be . but in your case , i do n't think anything short of rafe 's full recovery is gon na give you peace of mind . kate : we 'll see about that . good morning again . rafe : [ quietly ] good morning . kate : how are we today ? rafe : i 'm feeling pretty good ... today . but we need to talk . ej : look , we all know melinda 's not gon na drop this case . she 's far too ambitious . sami : you make it sound like she can win . ej : well , she thinks she will , but she wo n't because this evidence gives us reasonable doubt , samantha . justin : ej , this is not a slam dunk . ej : but it is enough . it 's enough to get you acquitted and to make sure you do n't have to spend one more night in jail . and i do n't think , frankly , that we should settle for anything less . justin : all right , listen . if you 'd like , i could argue against the request for a continuance on the grounds that the prosecutor should have to stick to the schedule that she originally requested . sami : you think that this is the right decision -- it 's a good idea ? ej : samantha , if we go through with this trial , and you 're acquitted -- sami : if ? ej : when we go through with this trial , and you 're acquitted , it is the only way to guarantee that this nightmare is over . then you can come home to me and the children . sami : well , when you put it like that ... justin : sami , as your attorney , i just have to say this -- that i 'm not sure that this strategy is in your best interest . but in the end , it 's your decision and yours alone . daniel : hey , here you go . eric : thanks . daniel : yeah . eric : i 'm really sorry to bother you about this again . daniel : no , no , you 're not . i want to figure out what happened just as much as you do . eric : yeah , but you 've got so much on your own plate . daniel : no . eric : listen , feel free to tell me to mind my own business , i just -- daniel : [ scoffs ] eric : i want to know how things went . your talk with jennifer . daniel : well , in a way , i guess they -- they went well . you know , getting parker 's birth certificate actually gave me some clarity about what we both need . why letting jennifer go was a good thing . was the right thing , anyway . eric : that 's not what i thought you were gon na say . daniel : you know what ? jennifer and i , we -- we have spent a lot of time and energy trying to make this relationship work . and it just -- it does n't . and i ca n't -- i ca n't -- i just ca n't make it work , so -- eric : are you sure about that ? daniel : [ chuckles ] you know what ? i have a little boy who needs to be my main focus , just like jj needs to be jenn 's . so i guess that 's , uh -- i guess that 's what the universe is telling us . eric : the universe or jj ? that was a very selfless thing . is that what jennifer wanted ? is that what you wanted ? daniel : you know , i just want jennifer to be happy . eric : if she needs you ... will you be there ? jj : did hope tell you what happened ? jennifer : i want to hear it from you . jj : i did something really dumb , mom . i was just so upset after -- jennifer : `` i was so upset after we fought , `` jj ? jj : yeah . i turned in my paper at school , and i met rory at the park . i just -- i just wanted to hang and chill . but then he reminded me that i owed him some cash , and he -- jennifer : oh , okay , so you thought that you would settle your debt with him by helping him with his business ? jj : after everything that happened at boarding school , i know that i should have just walked away . i -- i knew that -- jennifer : you 're that angry at me that you just want to punish me , jj ? jj : mom , i swear , it happened one time . one time . and if i would have been thinking straight , i never would have let rory talk me into doing something like this . are n't -- are n't you gon na say anything ? eric : good , you 're here . nicole : what 's so good about it ? eric : i have your reimbursement for the hotel bill . nicole : mm - hmm . so what , it 's just all business all the time ? eric : we are at work . nicole : really ? 'cause i 'm pretty sure a church is not a business . i thought it was about relationships and people and souls . so now , not only can i not be your friend , but i guess i ca n't ask you to be mine . eric : i 'm sorry if i 've been a little distracted , but i just have something else on my mind . nicole : okay , well , then you think . i 'll walk . [ ominous music ] kate : oh . rafe : kate ... i appreciate your concern . i really do . kate : but ... rafe : but you ca n't control whether the thermostat 's set too high or my oatmeal is too thick or if it takes the nurse too long to respond when i push the call button . i mean , you can , but i do n't want you to . kate : [ sighs ] okay , every patient needs an advocate -- rafe : can you stop calling me a patient ? kate : well , i did n't -- rafe : i 'm a man , okay ? i 'm a man . i just want to be able to get the hell out of here and take care of myself . kate : well , you are going to be able to do that . rafe : okay , and you ca n't -- no , list -- if i push the button and the nurse does n't come in here right away , then you know what that does ? that gives me more motivation to get the hell out of here . to get out of here . i mean , do n't you understand that ? so i can see what 's out there in the world , what 's waiting for me . kate : i guess i just feel responsible . rafe : you 're not -- no one is responsible for me ... but me . ej : samantha , justin 's absolutely right . this is entirely your decision . but i 've seen a number of cases like this before . sami : i 'm sure you have . ej , you had me at being able to go home to you and the kids . so , justin , i want you to fight the continuance . i want this whole thing over with once and for all . justin : i hope it will be . okay , well , i 'll start the paperwork to file a motion . excuse me . sami : ej , what would i do ... without you ? ej : hmm . maxine : dr. dan , you talk to jennifer ? daniel : no . and unless this is about work -- maxine : it 's about why she 's not at work . daniel : why ? maxine : she got a call from the police station . she rushed out of here like a bat out of hell . something 's very wrong . jj : mom , you believe me , do n't you ? jennifer : no , i do n't . jj : but i 'm -- i 'm telling the truth . jennifer : do you know how many times i 've heard you say that ? really , how stupid do you think i am , jj ? i feel like i do n't even know my own son anymore . but you know what the sad thing is ? is that i think i finally do . jj : what do you mean ? jennifer : i wanted to believe you . i wanted to believe every excuse , every single story . but now i have to face the truth -- that my son is a criminal . he 's a liar . jj : mom -- jennifer : no , do n't even say anything , because you know what ? it is the end of the line . it is all over . | kate asked kayla how stefano got into rafe 's room . jj made a drug deal and got busted by the police . it turned out that jj 's friend 's boyfriend set him up . justin told sami that adrienne was the one that found out about the money and went to the police . hope was one of the cops on the scene and wanted to know how jj got in trouble . nicole did n't understand why eric would want to officiate brady and kristen 's wedding . she also thought that something was wrong with eric . hope was upset that jj was caught selling drugs . jj lied to hope about why he was selling drugs . kate continued to ask kayla about rafe 's care . just and sami talked about the money in timmy 's bank account . ej met with his henchman to talk to him . rafe struggled with his physical therapy . jordan wanted rafe to do everything she said . kayla felt that stefano 's high donations to the hospital would make it hard for her to stop him from being at the hospital . sami talked to justin about why she did n't take the deal . ej wanted to make sure that the money his henchman put in timmy 's account wo n't be traced back to him . nicole was upset that eric would n't confide in her . hope called jennifer to tell her about jj 's arrest . |

[ knocking on door ] it 's thrilling , is n't it ? ben : is sonny here ? i 'm supposed to pick up some paperwork from him -- for the club . will : he 's -- he 's out but he left it here for me to give to you . come in . i 'm sure that , with everything that 's happened , you must be pretty upset with me . i do n't have any excuses . not that you 'd want to hear them . i just hope that everything -- it 's not causing too much trouble for you and abigail . marlena : adorable . abigail : oh , i saw it at barron 's and i just could n't resist . it 's for my goddaughter . marlena : she 'll be darling in it . abigail , may we chat for a moment ? please ? clyde : well , there you are , tammy sue . very pleased to meet you , you come highly recommended . carlo : do i ? clyde : yeah . by kate roberts . i 'd say that 's about as high as praise can get in this town . sami : oh , kate , you know i prefer to eat breakfast alone . kate : okay , so i am expecting a call from my attorney , just keep your fingers crossed that he comes up with something , anything to keep that judge from ruling in stefano 's favor . what the hell is that doing there ? [ phone ringing ] oh . [ whispering ] my attorney . hello . stefano : ah , katarina . buon giorno . rafe : all right , got your message . what the hell do you want ? [ soft orchestration ] male announcer : like sands through the hour glass , so are the days of our lives . stefano : it 's so good to hear your voice , katarina . sami : so what , kate , is it your lawyer ? oh my god , hang up the phone ! stefano : [ laughing ] is that my lovely daughter - in - law that i hear , huh , shouting orders to you ? kate : what do you want , stefano ? stefano : not a thing , only to wish you well on what should be a marvelous day in salem . ej : well , i can imagine you were surprised to hear from me . rafe : yeah , well i 'll tell you what does n't surprise me , that you wanted to meet in secret . but what does surprise me is that you wanted to meet here , in the center of town , in broad daylight . ej : rafe , i asked to meet you because i have something that may be helpful to you . rafe : oh , well , forgive me if that does n't interest me . but see , your brand of help usually -- is n't . ej : i think when you see what i have to offer , you will realize that what i 'm offering this time is different . eric : i thought you 'd lost the capacity to shock me , kristen . yet i can not wrap my head around what kind of human being would hold somebody 's life hostage to get her way . kristen : well it 's not just somebody , it 's the father of the man i love , eric . eric : yet you would withhold the medicine that could save his life in order to get your freedom . kristen : yeah . you finally understand . yes mom , the girls are doing good . abigail : how 's john ? has there been any change at all ? marlena : no , there has n't , but we 're hoping for some good news very soon . abigail : good , that 's great , i 'm glad to hear that . marlena : thank you . that was n't why i wanted to talk to you . i 'm sure you 're not thrilled to be sitting here with sami 's mother . or will 's grandmother . but i 'm genuinely concerned about you . abigail : i 'm fine . yeah , i 'm okay , really . marlena : i know . you 're smart and you 're strong . and you 've been through so much the last couple years . and with your father 's death and all the -- all that came with your brother coming back . and there was the business with ej . that must 've been very confusing , complicated , even before it went public . abigail : you know -- thank you , um , so much for your concern , marlena , i really appreciate it . but i 'm -- you know i 'm handling just fine , really . i - i - i - i 'm -- well , at least i 've -- marlena : what ? abigail : no -- stop , stop . i thought i was , at least . well now i 'm not so sure . ben : can i just have the papers , please . will : so you 're not going to answer my question ? ben : the papers . thank you . abigail and i have n't talked about you , will . but i always thought you were one of the good guys . i know sonny is . this is n't about him , it 's about you . and the truth is , i do n't know how the hell you could 've ever written that article . will : i do n't have any excuses , like i said . i started writing , and the more i wrote , the more i realized that i had to tell the whole truth or tell nothing at all . ben : well , maybe you should 've gone with the second option . will : i 'll agree with that . things got out of hand . i never meant to hurt abigail , but i know that i did . i screwed up . have n't you ever screwed up ? clyde : you miss your mama , do n't ya ? it 's been five years and we all still miss her real bad . but you got family . we 'll have each other to lean on . we 'll always have each other . so that 's what i had in mind . doable ? carlo : depends . clyde : on ? carlo : someone else is ahead of you . ej : you do understand , i hope , that this has to be on the q.t . nobody can know that we met . rafe : well , god 's sake , ej , just get to the point . why did you call me ? ej : i called you here because i trust you . kate : stefano , if you 're trying to scare me -- stefano : of course not , carissima , i only wanted you and samantha to know that the games are over . ciao . sami : well , what did he say ? kate : he 's trying scare us . sami : by saying what , exactly ? kate : basically , that the games are over . sami : god , i knew it . kate : you knew what ? sami : ej told me last night , that stefano 's been calling all the members of the board , trying to set up an emergency meeting . kate : in salem ? about what ? sami : well , i would think it would be to get rid of us , the ceos -- would n't you ? kate : yeah , yeah , i mean , that 's what i would do -- i mean , what else is he gon na do at this point , right ? sami : look , we have made the board so much money -- have n't we ? we have impressed them , certainly , we came up with this idea for a coup that most people would never have even tried -- for the record . and we should show up at that meeting , we should impress them with our ideas and prove to them that we are what 's best for the company . kate : oh my god , sami , you know , what the board decides right now -- it 's the least of our problems if stefano is coming back to salem . whoa , my cuts still there . kristen : i know . but the d.a . needs your testimony , without it there 's no case . eric : and daniel ? kristen : that 's just his word against mine . eric : you 're a pathological liar , kristen . you 're selfish , vindictive , like to torture my family and continue to get revenge on the people i care about . which is why i 'm seriously tempted to go ahead with my day in court . and tell the world what you did to me . kristen : but you 're not gon na do that , are you ? marlena : abby , i know some very good people that might help you to talk about things . abigail : okay , marlena , um , there is one thing that you may be able to help me with . marlena : of course . abigail : i hurt someone that i really care about and i -- i do n't understand . will : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to -- i do n't want to minimize what i did , or how much it hurt abigail . [ phone ringing ] ben : i have to go . will : ben -- i 'm glad you ca n't read yet . otherwise you 'd hate daddy too . clyde : whoever the hell 's ahead of me , i want to meet him . carlo : [ laughing ] not sure that 's possible . clyde : you 'll learn this about me , carlo , i do n't give up easy . rafe : you trust me ? [ laughing ] aw , that 's rich , ej . really ? ej : let 's just say that i am quite sure that you will do the right thing with what i 'm about to give you . rafe : so what 's in it for you ? right . you do have a tax evasion charge hanging over your head , do n't you ? ej : that court date is three months away . and right now i have much more important fires to put out . rafe : so what 's the catch ? ej : there 's nothing in this for me . but i will require your assurance that you will properly use what i am about to give you . rafe : the big reveal . ej : i know that you have a court date later today , regarding my father 's tax evasion charges . this little document will make sure that you and the people you care about get the decision you want . kate : stefano is going to be hell - bent on revenge , from the moment he sets foot in salem . sami : we do n't know that for sure . kate : huh . sami : tell me again exactly what he said to you . kate : oh , basically he said , `` game 's over . `` sami : maybe he was just talking to talk , you know ? kate : oh yeah , 'cause that 's so much like stefano , no follow through . sami : look , i 'm just trying to stay positive . kate : oh my god -- hey , why do n't you try coming up with a plan to counter- attack his attack . sami : oh yeah , that 's a great idea , kate , why do n't i do that when i have no idea what he 's planning . let 's just -- let 's just stay optimistic , okay . let 's not jump to conclusions . kate : i have an idea , maybe we should stop whistling past the graveyard . this is stefano we 're talking about , okay ? that 's your father - in - law , the biggest revenge executioner on the planet . sami : so what do you want to do ? kate : what do i wan na do ? prepare . because whatever he has planned for us , believe me , we will not see it coming . rafe : what the hell is this , it 's just a bunch of numbers . ej : it 's a bunch of numbers that will stop the judge from ruling in my father 's favor . rafe : ah , right . you and your father are at odds again . and so you want me to make sure that he stays the hell out of salem . ej : hm , no , my father and i are not at odds . and as i alluded to you earlier , those numbers did not come from me . my father has a lot of enemies , rafe , and i 'm sure you and your boys at the salem police department can do your due diligence and dig in to those tax evasion charges . couple of shadow companies all of your own . rafe : right , while you keep your -- your whistle clean out of it . ej : something like that . rafe : so that 's what all these numbers are , proof that your father 's hiding money ? ej : they show how my father diverted funds to avoid paying taxes , without implicating anybody else . rafe : like sami or kate . ej : i 've given you everything i have . the success of this operation is now entirely in your hands . rafe : you 're doing this for sami . ej : samantha has no idea what i 'm doing , and it is imperative that it stays that way . rafe : why , you do n't want her to know that you 're protecting her from your father ? sami : okay , seriously kate , i do not think that stefano is going to kill us . if he wanted us dead , he would just send one of his henchmen . he would n't even need to be in salem -- and by the way , we 'd be dead already . kate : no , no , no way . that is not his style , believe me , i was married to the bastard long enough . there 's nothing he would like more than a front row seat to the carnage . sami : he is not to kill u us . kate : really ? you know , i 'm gon na hold you to that . sami : fine . he 's not going to kill me , i 'm the mother of his grandchildren . kate : oh , that 's nice , thank you , it 's so lovely . sami : for the record , i do n't think he 's going to kill you , either . he had feelings for you , he 's probably still got a soft spot somewhere . kate : whatever his feelings were for me , or the feelings he has now , none of it matters . none of it matters . have you ever heard that expression , a fate worse than death ? sami : i ca n't -- i mean i honestly just ca n't -- kate : no , no , you can , you can because if either of us are ever going to survive whatever he has planned , then we can not be in denial . because believe me , whatever it is , it 's more horrific than we could ever imagine . ben : hey , what is it ? what 's wrong ? jordan : have you seen clyde ? ben : no , why ? have you ? is that why you 're so shaken up ? jordan : i 'm shaken up because he has ruined my life . i 've finally made something for myself . i had a life here -- a great job , an amazing guy . ben : jordan . jordan : it was the first time , in all the years that we left poplar bluff , that i stopped running -- that you stopped running . we have friends , a feeling of what it 's like to have a home . ben : and we ca n't let him ruin that or any of those things for us , sis . i promise you , it 's gon na be all right . you ca n't promise that , ben -- you can say that -- you can say that , but you know him . you know clyde and you know nothing is ever going to be the same again . abigail : so it all got mixed up . i do n't even understand why i pushed ben away like that , i just -- i do n't know , it just happened . marlena : abby , i think if you examine the moment , really carefully -- considering everything that you 've been through , you might find that your actions had nothing to do with ben , or the way you feel about him . abigail : i know how i feel about him . i like him , i really like him . and now i 've hurt him and i just -- i do n't know how to change that . marlena : i 'm not sure you can change that . but you can sort out your own part in it , and then talk to him . hopefully he 'll understand . abigail : yeah . yeah , you 're right , i do n't want to lose him . i really care about him and i just -- he 's such a great guy , i feel like if i talk to him he 'll listen and i -- eric : when you opened that door and you saw me standing there , you knew i 'd give you what you want . as if i 'd let john pay the price for your miserable devil 's bargain . you 'll have to take my word this time , wo n't you ? kristen : and i do . eric : here are my conditions . i wo n't sign anything . kristen : i was n't gon na ask you too . eric : nor will i promise not to testify against you , until you 've made sure that medicine , that latest miracle drug , reaches john and he awakes from his coma because of it . kristen : eric , wait a second . now that that 's out of the way , i just want to tell you i am so sorry . eric : sorry ? you think sorry covers what you did to me ? kristen : i 'm not talking about what happened between the two of us -- although , actually , i am very sorry about that . but i have n't seen you in a really long time , and it 's remarkable how much you 've changed . eric : what do you know about me changing , you do n't know me now and you did n't know me before . kristen : i knew you . we did the pre - cana counseling , remember ? we worked side by side for the scholarship fund for the kids from st. luke 's , and i saw how seriously you took your work . how much you loved working with the people in the parish . you were a strong and caring man of god . and no matter what happened between the two of us , i could never have changed that , i never had that kind of power . but you have changed -- a lot . and i know why . it 's because of nicole . eric : no . you 're really crossing into dangerous territory kristen : she made you bitter . that 's so sad . it 's tragic . it 's heartbreaking . but that 's on her . we all know it . yes ! abigail : i -- i really want to go give this to arianna . marlena : i understand . abigail : thank you for listening . ej : abigail ? marlena , is abigail okay ? you seemed to be having a pretty intense conversation , so i was just -- marlena : if you think i 'm going to discuss that or anything with you , you are out of your mind . ej : i 'm just concerned about her . marlena : you 're concerned ? if i remotely believe you could be concerned about anybody but yourself , i still would n't discuss it with you . ej : look , i appreciate that you do n't have any empathy or understanding what i 'm going through , but i would like you to please consider accepting the fact , that despite what everybody else may say , i have feelings . i care about your daughter , i care about your family and i -- marlena : do n't you dare ! do n't you dare bring up samantha to me . ej : i was n't . i was about to ask you about john . has there been any change ? rafe : so , i 've been digging , basically , 24 - 7 , and i 've come up with some new information and some specific numbers which i need you to verify . well , as soon as you can , before the dimera hearing . kate : the hearing , what about it ? rafe : still on for today . [ both sigh in relief ] sami : that means we still have time . [ knocking on door ] will : abigail . abigail : hello . i bought ari the prettiest little outfit and i think that gabi will just love it . will : well , ari 's asleep but as soon as she wakes up we 'll put it on her , we 'll send gabi a picture . abigail : okay . will : that is super cute . i 'm really surprised to see you . abigail : why ? i 'm arianna 's godmother and i made a big promise to be a part of her life , no matter what else is going on or how i feel about her father . ben : i thought we decided we were n't gon na run anymore . jordan : clyde wo n't go away , ben , he 'll never go away . ben : then we have to just ignore him . we have to act like he 's not even in salem , jordan . look , i can take care of myself now . and if he ever comes near you , you let me know and i 'll handle it . jordan , what happened this morning that upset you so much ? clyde : you miss your mama , do n't ya ? it 's been five years and we all still miss her real bad . but you got family . we 'll have each other to lean on . ben : sis , talk to me , please . tell me what happened ? carlo : [ laughing ] clyde : well ? carlo : i did what i could , clyde . you may be getting a call . clyde : one way or another , i will make this happen . marlena : john , i went ahead and i asked eric to go along with kristen . i 've asked her not to testify against her so that we can get you the drugs you need . i know how upsetting that 's going to be to you . because , once again , our lives are in kristen 's hands . eric : i saw kristen . i gave her my answer . i 'm gon na do it . i 'm sorry that i even doubted , even for a minute , that it was the -- the right thing to do . i 'm sorry i put you through that . marlena : i love you so much . oh my . and i know -- i know what this is costing you . eric : it does n't matter the cost , it 's doing what 's best for john , doing everything we can for him . marlena : i just hope kristen 's right . i hope this drug works . eric : i know how much he means to you , mom . marlena : i just hope that i get a chance to tell him . abigail : why did n't you tell me ? will : abigail , i wrote the truth , but i never meant for them to mention your name . abigail : no , why did n't you tell me that your mom was the one who insisted that my name be in the article ? will : because i wrote it and it was my byline . abigail : i know , but i know the editor is the one who insisted my name was in it . will : and i thought that i was protecting you by not mentioning your name , but i was in denial . even if your name had n't have been mentioned , people would have put two and two together that it was you . abigail : still ... will : still what ? abigail : when i first found out i was really upset and now that i know all the details , it 's not quite as horrible as i first thought . will : well i 'm really glad to hear that . you hear that , ari , your daddy is not as horrible as your godmother once thought . abigail : but he 's still a colossal jerk . will : nobody is angrier about this than me . except maybe ben . he came by earlier today . abigail : what ? why ? will : to get some papers for sonny . i tried to feel him out about you two but he was vague . are you guys alright ? jordan : i hate clyde being anywhere near us . ben : we ca n't let him do this , jordan . we ca n't let him win . the only thing we can do is just keep trying to make our lives better from now on . abigail : i do n't want to talk to you about ben . will : i understand . i just hope you two are okay . abigail : let me know if the dress fits ari . will : i will . it was really sweet of you to get that for her , and to bring it over . abigail : yeah , i love that little girl . and i 'll see her soon . will : you come by any time . abigail : yeah , i know , i 'll work it out with sonny . ej : well of course you 'll be compensated for any proprietary information . what time is stefano dimera 's hearing ? thank you . now , if rafe just does his part . [ phone ringing ] yes . who ? never heard of him . have him checked out . i know . well you better hope this pays off . rafe : well sami , i 'm doing what i can , but i 'm not sure we 're gon na be able to stop stefano . sami : but you have to . i mean , you have to stop him . rafe : sami , he has an armada of lawyers helping him dodge absolutely everything . kate : what if he threatened my life ? eric : mom , i know this is a chance for john , but -- marlena : oh , i 'm not counting on this if that 's what you 're worried about . it 's just that this is the first hope we 've had , you know ? um , look , you -- you spoke to kristen . what do you think , is she bluffing ? is she trying to torment us ? i 'm sorry , i mean , how can you tell , how can any of us tell what she 's thinking ? eric : we ca n't . all we can do is pray . stefano : i am confident that i will see you very , very soon , cara . kristen : i know , father , and when we do we will both be free . stefano : [ laughing ] glorious . kristen : but do n't waste time , please , you need to get that drug to kayla and daniel as soon as possible . stefano : of course , but remember -- kristen : it 's untested , i know . stefano : uh - huh , you must be realistic about this . kristen : i know , it could go either way . i 'll talk to you soon . it has to work . just has to work , i mean , please , everything is riding on this . rafe : did stefano threaten your life ? kate : i 'm asking if that would make a difference in the outcome of the hearing . rafe : well , the hearing is about his tax evasion charges . kate : yes , i know . and stefano suspects that i 'm the one who handed over the evidence that would formalize those charges , that 's why he 's threatening to kill me . rafe : so he did threaten your life ? kate : that 's what i said , is n't it ? rafe : well , it 's your word against his . kate : not if i have a witness . rafe : someone heard the threat ? kate : sami . sami heard every word . sami heard stefano threaten to kill me . jordan : ben is right , we can not let him win . abigail : [ clears throat ] ben : i 'm working . abigail : ben , listen , i want to talk about what happened . ben : i do n't want to talk about it . abigail : please ? ben : there 's nothing else to say . okay , i -- i get the bigger picture now . i saw you looking at ej dimera and the whole thing made sense . abigail : ben , please -- ben : come on , abigail , i was kissing you and you pushed me away . and you did that because you were thinking about him . clyde : mr. dimera , it 's a real honor , sir . | eric confronted kristen about playing with john 's health . marlena wanted to talk to abby . marlena was concerned about abby . abby assured marlena that she 's fine . abby started thinking about kissing ben and ej . ej met with rafe because he had information for him . stefano called kate to let her know that the game is over for her . eric told kristen that he was tempted to testify against her . kristen knew he was n't going to do that . ej gave rafe a document that gives him and the people he cares about exactly what they want . kate and sami talked about preparing for whatever stefano 's going to do to them . |

justin : anjelica 's dead ? what happened to her ? hope : anonymous call came into the station earlier . someone claiming there was a dead body found in adrienne 's room at the salem inn . actually , in her bed . justin : [ scoffs ] what ? ! bonnie : poor angelica . oh , and that person who must 've found her must 've been so scared . god , i 'm sure glad it was n't me , 'cause i'dve passed out for sure . justin : what else do you know ? hope : forensics idd the body , but that 's it . still waiting on cause of death . adrienne ... what the hell was angelica doing in your room ? and in your bed ? rafe : it 's definitely gabi . eli : i ran into gabi here maybe an hour ago outside . rafe : what was she doing here ? eli : i do n't know , she had her keys and she was about to come in , but i told her she could n't because of the investigation . rafe : so she disobeyed again . that sounds like gabi . eli : well , she must 've come back because i escorted her to the square . that 's the last place i saw her . so she came back here . she came back here , she found the package , and then raines -- who we know was on his way to meet myron , saw her ... damn it . he 's got her . i swear to god , if he does anything to her i 'm gon na kill him . kill him . gabi : so this is where you and dario were running your counterfeiting ring ? you 're not gon na get away with this . you know that ? raines : well , pardon me . are you comfortable ? that 's the least i can do to try to make your final moments as pleasant as possible . gabi : what are you talking about ? my final moments ? what are you gon na do to me ? raines : it 's funny how things work out , is n't it ? if your thug brother had n't betrayed my trust , you would n't be in this situation . then there 's your other brother , detective hernandez . oh , he and his fiancée , they were just a little bit too close for comfort . well , ms . hernandez , your entire family has been nothing but trouble , but now ... it 's my turn . gabi : okay , look , look , i am not -- i 'm not making excuses for dario . yes , yes , he 's a criminal . right ? but you are the police commissioner . you out of all people should know there 's no honor among thieves . raines : my plan would 've proceeded without a problem if it was n't for your snitch of a brother . i covered his ass . i made the arrangements . i did every damn thing for that son of a bitch . everything ! and all i did was take just a fraction of the profits . gabi : that does n't look like a fraction to me . raines : [ chuckles ] that 's a mere pittance for all the work i did . i helped dario build the family business . convinced abigail to marry him so he would n't be deported , but of course , all of that was a lie and what did he do ? he screwed it up 'cause he was n't man enough to take the fall himself . so he threw our righteous mayor carver under the bus . gabi : i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry for whatever dario did to you , but he was pushed into a corner and when people are pushed into a corner , they will do anything to survive . you would do the same thing to protect yourself . so can you blame dario for running ? raines : no , i can't . your brother has every right to be afraid of me . gabi : well ... i 'm not afraid of you . jj : myron just checked in . apparently , raines never showed up . he never got the evidence to plant on abe . eli : damn it . ! he definitely knows that we 're on to him . lani : well , where do you think he is ? eli : wherever he is , i 'm afraid he has gabi . jj : wait , what ? eli : we found her purse at tbd . lani : oh , my god . rafe : gabi never showed up at the babysitter 's to pick up arianna . jj : we 'll put out an apb . i 'm sure someone saw something . eli : hey , we 're gon na find her , man . rafe : yeah . justin : hope , you do n't honestly believe adrienne had something to do with this ? hope : i 'm just trying to gather the facts . but adrienne does n't seem up to answering any questions right now . bonnie : i 'd love to answer the questions , i just do n't feel -- justin : adrienne , hold on . uh , look , adrienne could n't possibly know anything because she was here with me last night . hope : why would anjelica be in your room ? justin : maybe she was delivering room service ? extra towels ? hope : should i put that in the report ? justin : i 'm sorry . that 's not helpful . hope : no , it 's not . justin : look , all i know is that anjelica did want to call a truce with adrienne . so maybe that 's why she went up there . to do just that . hope : okay , okay . maybe . i mean , i suppose that could be the reason , but it still does n't answer why she took off all her clothes and got into adrienne 's bed . justin : right , right . well , that 's your job to figure out , not ours . all i know is that adrienne was here with me last night . bonnie : my favorite place to be . my love . hope : well , i 've taken up enough of your time , so , um ... and , you know , i just want to make it clear that i 'm not accusing you of anything , i just want some answers as i 'm sure you do as well . bonnie : of course i do . i mean , someone winds up dead in my bed , i 'm curious . not to mention ... [ shudders ] hope : okay , then , feel better and i 'll be in touch . justin : thank you . hope : okay , bye . bonnie : bye . [ sighs ] thank you . thank you for standing up for me and for getting that woman off my case . i mean , really ? just because anjelica winds up dead in my bed , i mean , really ? [ sighs ] justin : just let me in , i 'll help you pack . bonnie : no . justin : adrienne ... is there something you 're not telling me ? bonnie : justin , you 're my man . the love of my life . why would i keep secrets from you ? justin : i do n't know , but i do know when i went to your hotel room last night , you were acting really strange . you would n't let me into your room . i mean , like you really did n't want me to go inside . like you were hiding something . bonnie : wow . justin : wow what ? bonnie : you really think i did it . you think i killed anjelica . justin : no , i don't . but i also know that you and anjelica had a very volatile relationship , so i 'm just thinking that maybe you might know something and if you do , now is the time to tell me . i love you . you know i would do anything to protect you . bonnie : justin , i swear to you -- on our children , i did not see anjelica last night . justin : okay . but i 'm still curious as to why you would n't let me inside . bonnie : [ sighs ] you really wan na know ? justin : yes . bonnie : you really wan na know ? well , it 's like i said . i 'm ... still having issues with my body . that 's it . i 'm just not ready for you to see this . i do n't feel comfortable . and i hope you understand . justin : of course i do . i 'm sorry . bonnie : now do you believe me ? or would you rather think that i killed a woman and stripped her naked and tucked her into my bed before climbing into yours ? eli : yeah , i 'm on it . lani : apbs are out . jj : i 'm going to find myron , see what he knows . eli : i called in some favors at the bureau , i 'm gon na check in with them . rafe : thanks , guys . thank you . hope : rafe , oh , my god , i just heard your message . we 're gon na find her . rafe : [ mumbles ] i swear to god , if raines hurts gabi -- if he hurts her , i 'm gon na tear him -- i 'm gon na tear him limb from limb . hope : he is not gon na hurt her . we 're gon na bring her home . safe . raines : [ chuckles ] sit your ass down . gabi : why should i ? raines : then i guess your life is n't that important to you . gabi : if you wanted to kill me , you would 've already done it . raines : ms. hernandez , do n't push me . gabi : these idle threats , they might 've worked with dario , but they 're not working with me . raines : oh , you 're quite the little spitfire , are n't you ? gabi : yes , yes , i am and you know what you are ? you are a bully . you see people 's weaknesses and then you take advantage of them like you did with dario . raines : sit down . gabi : no , i know what it takes to be a real cop . somebody that people respect and love and look up to like rafe -- raines : i said , sit down . gabi : you do n't have that and you never will . you do n't have the character or the strength to be on the right side of the law . raines : oh , like dario ? yeah , he 's a real choir boy . gabi : he was n't a police officer . you are literally the most important man in salem pd . what you 're doing is ten times worse ! raines : you wan na talk about courage ? every time something went wrong , dario split . ran like a little scared boy . left me to clean up his mess . he 's a coward . gabi : oh , yeah ? what kind of man gets behind the wheel of a car and runs innocent people over ? i mean , abigail almost died doing what you never would have done which is protecting people that she loves . you know , she has more courage than you ever will ! raines : [ shouts ] enough ! sit down ! ah , boy . i liked abigail . it was an unfortunate incident that happened . you know , i was very upset about that . but sometimes -- as you 're about to find out , innocent people get hurt . claire : so , since we do n't want help from joey 's parents and now that there 's only two of us splitting the rent , it 's just , you know -- it 's way too much . and not to mention the water bills and the electricity bills and all that . so if we could just divide things up three ways , then it would be a win - win - win for all of us . tripp : yeah , i guess that does make sense and i would n't have to move my stuff very far . claire : right ? i know . and i could even talk to my boss at the cafe and see if they need any extra help . tripp : ah , really ? you 'd do that ? claire : yes , oh , my god , of course , tripp , this is going to work out . tripp : and , uh , theo ? you have n't really said much . what do you think ? theo : claire knows what i think . i do n't think you should move in . steve : what are you trying to say , kayla ? that i 'm okay with what happened to joe because i still have tripp ? you do n't really believe that , do you ? look at me . when joe went to prison , i lost my son , too . and there is nothing and no one who can ever fill the hole in my heart . i regret every single moment of joe 's life that i missed . and i mourn all the moments that could 've been if he had n't been taken from us now . kayla : look , i , uh -- i know that i encouraged you to be there for tripp . and i would -- i would never ask you to turn your back on him ... just because it hurts me to see you being a father to him . i just -- i just feel like ... my being a mother to joey ... has been taken away from me . steve : no , baby . joe will always need his mother . kayla : i know now that he 's grown up , but , you know , everything , but i just -- i just keep thinking about when he was a little boy . he was so afraid of his own shadow , you know ? i would tuck him in at night and he 'd start yelling , `` mom ! mommy ! there 's a monster in my room ! `` and i would go in there and i would turn on every single light and he would take my hand ... and we would search out every corner of his room ... [ sniffles ] until he felt safe . and now i just -- he 's in such a dark place and ... i ca n't do anything about it . and i ca n't make him safe . [ somber music ] claire : theo . theo : what ? claire : do n't be rude ! tripp : no , no , no . it 's okay , claire . this is about joey , is n't it ? you 're loyal to him . that 's cool . i respect that . and there 's no hard feelings . i 'll just find another place to live . claire : tripp . tripp , just wait one second . okay ? [ whispers ] what is your deal ? theo : what ? claire : what is your deal ? this is the perfect situation for us . theo : no , this is the perfect situation for you . claire : what does that mean ? theo : you knew i 'd be pissed . why would you ask him to move in here ? claire : i do n't know , i guess the bigger question is why are you pissed ? is it really because of joey ? or is it something else ? look , theo , we need to be very practical right now , okay ? tripp needs a place to live and we need a new roommate . so will you get off of your high horse about this or would you rather ride it right out of this apartment ? eli : guys , i 'm sorry . feds do n't have any leads . hope : you ca n't be serious ? nothing ? rafe : hold on ! hold on . i think i got something . [ dramatic music ] gabi : rafe 's gon na track me down . as a matter of fact , you know what ? he 's probably on the way over here . raines : which means we need to get this show on the road . gabi : come on , just let me go okay , this is pointless . you 're gon na get caught . why do n't you just turn yourself in , okay ? all of these threats , they 're useless because i 'm not leaving here as your hostage . raines : [ chuckles ] you do n't get it , do you ? you 're not a hostage . you 're a witness . justin : sweetheart , of course i believe you . i 'm just having a really hard time trying to piece together what might 've happened . i mean , you have to admit this is ... really bizarre . bonnie : [ scoffs ] i know , right ? i mean , anjelica winding up dead in my bed -- technically , it was n't my bed , it was the hotel 's . [ shudders ] justin : anjelica and i may have had our differences , but ... [ sighs ] i would 've never wished this on her . bonnie : oh , me , neither . what a shame . justin : well , i better call alexander . he should hear this from me . bonnie : oh , your son with anjelica , of course . um , give him my best ... justin : i will . [ upbeat dramatic music ] [ line trilling ] bonnie : [ whispers ] what is going on , hattie ? ! i just got paid a visit from hope brady who wanted to know anjelica was naked and dead in my bed ! and you know what ? i have the same question . what the hell did you do after i left ? ! theo : you should know that claire hates it when you drink straight from the carton . tripp : wait , wait , so does that mean -- theo : welcome to apartment 4 . [ claire and tripp chuckle ] tripp : really ? are you sure ? theo : yeah , it 's the practical thing to do . tripp : thanks , guys , and i promise no drinking from the carton . claire : okay , and do n't turn the a / c below 68 or i will freeze to death . tripp : you got it . i 'll go start packing my stuff . claire : okay and let us know if you need any help at all because theo here is really good at lifting things . tripp : cool . thanks . claire : [ sighs ] finally we can get mr . brinkley off of our backs . you like him , do n't you ? claire : mr. brinkley ? ew , he 's like 40 . theo : you know what i 'm talking about , claire . you like tripp . claire : you know what , theo ? yes , i do like tripp . i do and he 's always been super nice to me . and i think you need to give him a chance . you know , i really do n't understand why this is bothering you so much . you know , you and i are just friends , so ... obviously i know that you 're not jealous . okay , whatever . i 'm gon na go see if tripp needs any boxes . steve : baby ... i know how much pain you 're in because i share it with you . but we should be trying to get through this together . that 's what joe wants . he told us that . and when he killed -- when he killed ava , he thought he was protecting his family . i wish he could 've considered the consequences , but in the state he was in , how could he ? what a horrible thing for any young person to have to live through . do n't make him watch his family be torn apart . and this money that tripp is offering the hospital , you know it 's not ava 's anymore . it 's his . and he 's offering it because he 's trying to make amends . he 's trying to show his gratitude to you for welcoming him into the family . and his regret for all the pain he caused . i do n't wan na see him denied the opportunity to make those amends and to show how much he respects you and respects us . sweetness ... please do n't let the ghost of ava come between us anymore than it already has . please . kayla : okay . okay . i 'll accept the donation . steve : thank you . i 'll tell tripp . [ somber music ] rafe : i think it 's a lead . hope : what is it ? rafe : it 's a list of gdr assets that the fbi froze when dario went on the run . okay , look , here 's tbd , a couple of his other businesses i recognize , but look at this address . hope : it 's just outside of salem . rafe : exactly . it could be where raines has gabi . [ dramatic music ] raines : you know way too much , my dear . i 'm afraid you 've become a liability . gabi : i wo n't say a word . okay ? i wo n't say anything . the tape , you destroyed it . so there 's no evidence . there 's nothing . raines : except for you . you ca n't erase that tape from your mind . gabi : yes , i can . i can -- i can totally do that . raines : poor baby . i 'm sorry . ca n't take that chance . gabi : what ? [ gun cocks ] no , please ! do n't ! raines : i 'm afraid this is it . gabi : [ whimpering ] please do n't ! raines : shut up . | kayla was n't thrilled when tripp offered to donate his inheritance to the hospital . steve asked her what happened . kayla let him know that she saw him celebrating with tripp at the pub . she was n't happy that joey was in prison while they were drinking . she did n't want blood money . she blamed ava for why she lost joey . eli and rafe looked in tbd when they saw the police line was broken . they looked around and eli found the envelope dario sent . rafe noticed gabi 's pocketbook . raines took gabi to a cabin . he wondered what he would do to her . kayla argued with steve about tripp . hope told bonnie and justin that anjelica was dead . justin wanted to know why anjelica was in her hotel room . rafe was ready to kill raines if something happened to gabi . raines let gabi know that her family was trouble to him . he pulled his gun out and pointed it sat her . |

[ ahem ] you know , it 's not her fault . i get that , but it -- it 's ... gabi : [ chuckles ] yes . does n't mean it did n't hurt , though . i mean , eli did n't mean to get lani pregnant , right ? chad : yeah , but that situation was different . gabi : i know . i know that . i 'm just ... i 'm just saying that the result was the same . as soon as i found out that lani was carrying eli 's baby , i knew that i had to end that relationship . i mean , what was i supposed to do ? there 's no going back from that .

'cause i 'm about to start a family of my own . abigail 's pregnant . with my child . abigail : you think i 'm being unfair . jj : look , i think you 're going through a lot . and i - i get that it 's hard to see gabi there for chad , trying to help him out , even as a friend . but think about it , abs . she 's been a good one , to you and to me . loyal and caring . if it was n't for her , i 'm not sure i 'd even be here . abigail : i know . god , i know , and i just feel terrible for saying these things , but every time i 'm around her lately , i get a really weird vibe . and i 'm gon na ask you something , jj . just try to be objective . i know ... i know you 've spent a lot of time with her lately . jj : not a lot . we 've talked a few times . abigail : okay , well , you 've been in touch , so ... has she given any kind of an indication that she would still be angry at me ? gabi : you know , when i was in ... prison and in jail , i told arianna that i was away on a business trip . she 's a smart little girl . i mean , she knew i was lying . so now she 's ... got it in her head that i was away for so long because i did n't want to be with her . and she wants absolutely nothing to do with me . jj : man ... i 'm really sorry . gabi : the only thing that kept me going was ... was knowing that i was going to come back to see her , and just when i thought things could n't get any harder , i - i 'm wrong . jj : well , sonny and -- and will can ... can change her mind , ca n't they ? gabi : she 's been telling them that she does n't wan na be ... `` only `` anymore . that she wants a little brother or a little sister . i mean , how can i win her back if i ca n't even give her what she wants most ? jj : is kayla sure of that ? gabi : the beatings , the , uh , injuries caused scarring ... and kayla says the chance that i could , you know , carry a pregnancy to term is ... is pretty low . i 'm somebody that prides myself on ... on being positive , on seeing the bright side . but i do n't see the bright side here . jj : listen , i - i ... i know you feel this way right now , and i get it . but arianna will come around . she loves you . and there are other ways to give her that little brother or sister she wants . gabi : yeah . maybe . i have to admit , it 's pretty hard ... to watch your sister come back from killing a man and sending me to prison for it ... to just pick up right where she left off . she 's got a wonderful future now . and i 'm the one ... that has to suffer for the rest of my life because of what she did to me . abigail : what is it , jj ? jj : just , uh ... just remembered a conversation i had with her and , uh ... i hate to say it , but you might be on to something . ( cat 1 ) friskies world ... valerie : what kind of mistake are you talking about ? lani : eli and i have been spending a lot of time together . maybe too much . valerie : [ scoffs ] why too much ? lani : because we 're not a couple . but since we lost the baby ... valerie : of course . naturally , you 'll be drawn to each other . that 's understandable . lani : i suppose . but i do n't want us to end up confusing sharing our grief with something more . the last thing i want for either one of us is to ... end up hurt any more than we have already been . eli : no , grandma , i was n't talking about gabi , okay ? i 've hardly seen her lately . julie : so , who are you leaning on these days then ? eli : lani . julie : well , that makes sense . both of you are grieving . only natural that the two of you would find comfort with each other . eli : yeah . and that would all be fine if i would n't have screwed things up . julie : how 'd you screw things up ? eli : well , a few weeks ago , i kissed her , and ever since then , things have just been really weird between us . julie : was she upset because you kissed her ? did she kiss you back ? eli : not really . actually , she kinda freaked . and then today , when we had another close moment , she could n't get away from me fast enough . julie : well , there is a way to ... to clear up this confusion . you got ta be honest about your feelings . i assume you have them , or we would n't be having this discussion . eli : yeah . i do . julie : well , darling , just tell her . eli : i just do n't think that 's the right move . i mean ... lani and i , we 're good friends . i do n't wan na screw that up . julie : i do n't see how being honest can ruin a friendship . what is the worst thing that can happen ? she could say , `` i 'm not interested in having a romance with you . `` of course , that would hurt , but ... you 'd know where you stand .

like , i -- i do n't have a plan . i do n't have anything i can do that will make this better . and if i have cancer , i ... i do n't even know how to finish that sentence . rafe : well , maybe you 're not supposed to know unless you do . sami : i think that 's what i was trying to say ... before i bit your head off . rafe : eh . sami : i wish i had a job . i wish i had that job at the police station . just something , anything , to take my mind off the horrible waiting . rafe : well , for the record , it does n't make that much of a difference . sami : [ laughs ] rafe : it does n't . sami : well , when i 'm with the kids , you know , and they 're fighting in the bathtub , or wanting 16 stories to go to sleep -- all those , you know , annoying mom moments ... they 're all so precious to me . it was n't like this with johnny . when johnny was sick , i had a plan . i knew exactly what i was gon na do . i knew how to get the right specialist . i knew everything , because i was going to make sure that he did n't get sick . i was gon na do everything to make sure he was okay . end of story . rafe : and you did . you did everything , sami . sami : we both did . rafe : well ... sami : if me being sick makes sure that he 's healthy ... rafe : sami , it does n't work that way . sami : we do n't know that . what i do know is that i do n't need the internet to tell me that having ovarian cancer is not a good prognosis . chad : all right , look at this right here -- the salem u sports and athletic tab on the homepage . sonny : wow . this sucks . chad : right ? will : there are n't any video links ? chad : and it 's nothing interactive . sonny : no , they do n't even have the schedule up , and these standings are from 2009 . abigail : you guys , nobody even looks at that site anyway . chad : nobody looks at it , because it has n't been updated in two years . sonny : why would anyone bother ? will : what if there was a ticket - selling option ? chad : that would actually work . will : because i waited in this effing line today , but if people could buy tickets from their dorm room . chad : and they could do real - time game updates . sonny : video highlights . will : stream , like , an interview show . sonny : dude , that -- oh , my god . i love that idea . abigail : and they could do player profiles with pictures . and also stats and things . abigail : what ? i 'd look . gabi : also , you can get sponsors to pay for the ads . chad : okay , hold on . yes , yes , and yes . that sounds great . will : if this works , like , if this takes off , then -- sonny : we can target other campuses locally . chad : and then spread out from there . sonny : this could be amazing . chad : actually , this could be huge , all right , but it 's probably gon na take a huge amount of time ... sonny : i 'm in . i 'll make it work . will : me too . i mean , if you want something , you make room for it . whoo . ej : let 's just get one thing perfectly clear between the two of us , shall we ? nicole : oh , yes , like how our relationship has always been -- clear . ej : i 'm not jealous of you and brady . nicole : no ? then why wo n't you leave us alone ? ej : [ sighs ] the inevitability of the implosion , it fascinates me . nicole : again , why ? for your information , we are not imploding , and the last time that happened was because of you . well , guess what ? you 're not a factor anymore . ej : sure about that ? why are you being such a colossal jerk ? i am trying to move forward with brady , and i am trying not to make the same mistakes . do you have a problem with that ? is that okay with you ? ej : tsk , not really . nicole : you know what ? if i could kill you and not go to prison , i would , ej . i would . brady : okay , okay . i think that 's enough time . what do you think ? ej : sure . nicole : definitely . i think this is where you go . leave . ej : it was a pleasure . nicole : thank you for not making a scene . brady : it 's only because you hit him first . that 's a hell of a right hook you got , by the way . nicole : i 'm sorry about that . brady : it 's not your fault . you all right ? nicole : yeah , i am now . sami : it 's just the idea of missing sydney 's first day of kindergarten , or allie 's first communion , or johnny making his first million ... just kills me . i have quite a way with words , do n't i ? rafe : yeah . i love you so much . sami : you really are a saint , you know that ? rafe : that 's me -- saint rafe . sami : [ laughs ] you have to make sure that i do n't become a downer through all this , okay ? rafe : okay . sami : i 'm counting on you , because i am a very bad patient . i hate being sick . i never get sick . there was this one time when i was like six years old , and i had the chicken pox , and my twin brother eric made me a plaque that said `` world 's worst patient . `` rafe : great . sami : and then i gave him the chicken pox , and then we both made john 's life miserable . i 'm just worried that when i go through all of this you 're just gon na get sick of my crap . rafe : 'cause that 's never happened . what ? you said do n't let you get down . am i wrong ? sami . you 're my world . you mean everything to me . and there 's nothing -- there is nothing that is gon na get in the way of that . not now , not ever . we 're in this together , you and me . that 's a promise ... forever . hey ! sonny : okay , we need a business plan to present to the athletic department . chad : without calling them out as lame . will : good point . abigail : you guys ca n't forget about women 's sports also . there 's lacrosse and soccer . basketball . gabi : gymnastics . sonny : they 're right . will : yeah . abigail : did you seriously not think of this until i just said that ? chad : you know what ? you guys should help . abigail : oh , wow , i think we have to . clearly you guys are lost without us . chad : mm - hmm . will : you know , if you work on the website with me , we can spend more time together . gabi : i 'd like that . will : [ chuckles ] gabi : i always wan na be with you . ej : these numbers are good . kate : uh , they 're brilliant . ej : brilliant , my dear , we will save for the profit report . kate : wow . this company is going to take off like a rocket . everyone 's onboard . they 're getting the vision . they 're working to give countess wilhelmina a memorable debut . ej : you 're excited . kate : mm , because i believe in the product . ej : good . you need a spokesperson . you know that , right ? kate : yes . i have people working on the options . ej : okay . a model , celebrity , somebody with a famous face ? kate : yeah , yeah , yeah , that 's my thought . ej : good . and , uh , as per our agreement , i 'm not interfering too much with your company . kate : well ... i thought that , until stefano called me and he was already aware of our plans . ej : you wanted to tell him yourself ? kate : you know very well i did . ej : well , i talk to father every day about business , and it just came up . kate : well , i 'm gon na let it go . i 'm going to let it go , because my focus is on the company and that 's it . ej : you know this , uh , this passion of yours rather reminds me of a woman that i once knew . kate : who ? ej : dare i say the old kate roberts has returned ? kate : ah ! well , i have to say i missed that fire . and frankly , your drive reminds me of the old ej . so perhaps we 're even . ej : perhaps . kate : you were distracted , ej . you were distracted by sami , your troubles with the children , nicole , taylor ... you were lost . ej : i was distracted . i was n't lost . kate : well , whatever you wan na call it , i prefer this version . it 's more efficient . ej : i 'm glad you think so . this , uh , business of yours , if it 's successful , it fits right into my plans . kate : excuse me ? ej : your success is my success . understand i approve this funding because it 'll help me open other doors for the company . [ pen writing on paper ] kate : okay , you need to listen to me very , very carefully . if you try to corrupt my plans , mold them to fit your needs , i will take my product , and i will be out of here faster -- faster than you can even ask how it happened . do i make that clear ? nicole : [ sighs ] ej is an idiot . what does he get out of goading us ? brady : i think it makes him feel superior . nicole : no , no . ej is not like that , brady . he 's a machine in his work , in his relationships ... he does n't get caught up in feelings and resentment . brady : people change . nicole : he 's being juvenile . brady : to me he just seems hurt . nicole : excuse me ? brady : mm - hmm . nicole : he married me and took up with my sister in like five minutes . brady : after you kind of did the same thing to him , if you recall . nicole : are you defending him ? brady : well , you have to admit , i mean , you have a pattern with guys , nicole . you love 'em , you snag 'em , you leave 'em . nicole : i do n't believe i 'm hearing this . your grandfather has really gotten to you . brady : no . listen , ej is an ass . that is obvious , okay , but you ca n't sit there and act like you do n't know what 's going on and what this is all about . okay ? i mean , nicole , you 've hurt him , and you 've hurt me . you went back to him . you came back to me . it 's kind of like groundhog day . nicole : i truly do n't believe this . you 're taking his side . brady : i 'm not taking his side . i do n't care about ej . i do n't wan na talk about ej . i do care about you . nicole : do you ? brady : i really do . but i 'll be honest with you . every minute i 'm with you , i 'm constantly looking over my shoulder , and i 'm wondering when i 'm gon na hear the clunk of that other shoe falling . sami : you really are the perfect guy , rafe . rafe : [ chuckles ] sami : how did i get so lucky ? rafe : oh , please . i ask myself the same thing about you every day . sorry about earlier . sami : do n't be . i mean , it 's not your fault . i jumped down your throat because ... because i 'm scared . rafe : yeah . i am too . sami : tell me what you 're scared of . rafe : scared of seeing you in pain ... seeing you be scared ... being helpless ... not being able to help make you better . sami : you always make it better . rafe : yeah ? you know what i wan na do ? sami : what ? rafe : i wan na tell you that everything 's gon na be okay , that we 're gon na live these long , healthy , happy lives , and there 's nothing to be afraid of . sami : ca n't do that . rafe : yeah , i can . i can . coffee does n't have vitamins ... unless you want it to . abigail : that went well , right ? gabi : yeah , i guess . abigail : what do you mean you guess ? will wants you to help with that website project . i mean , he said so himself -- so that he could spend more time with you . gabi : abigail , i love spending time with will , but working on this website is gon na be exactly what we do together now , which is just hang out as friends . abigail : okay , so is the problem that it 's just hard for the two of you to find time to be alone together ? gabi : i mean , how hard can it be ? we hang out , and then he wants to play video games , or he forgets he has a test to study for . abigail : god , that is just so strange . gabi : no . no , it 's not . you know what 's funny ? i know exactly the reason why . abigail : you do ? gabi : yeah , i did something wrong . abigail : wait , what do you mean ? gabi : i did something wrong the first time we had sex . abigail : oh , come on , gabi . there is no way . gabi : it has to be . i mean , what guy does n't wan na be with his girlfriend after the first time they 've done it ? a guy who is n't into his girlfriend because he did n't like the sex the first time . that 's who . will : i 'm glad you guys like this idea . sonny : dude , it 's genius . chad : also was getting abigail and gabi onboard . will : yeah , they 'll be awesome . chad : and bonus , because they wo n't hate us for spending all of our spare time holed up in a computer lab . will : i mean , i hope not . chad : you guys okay ? will : what , me and gab ? yeah , sure . never better . nicole : are you serious ? you sit around waiting for me to hurt you ? brady : no . but would i be surprised if history repeated itself ? not really . nicole : [ scoffs ] okay , brady , i know you 're upset about chloe , about ej , but i just have to say that i would -- i would die before i could hurt you again . i -- i hope you know that . brady : [ sighs ] i know . i believe that , actually , but , uh , you 're just a very complicated person , you know that ? nicole : well , so are you . and i prefer `` passionate , `` if you do n't mind . brady : i know . i prefer passionate as well , but passionate and complicated women do n't sit still for very long . nicole : i 'm committed to you , brady . and after everything that 's happened today , i hope you see that . i 'm serious about this , about -- about us . i did n't know what i wanted before , and now i do . brady : what do you want ? nicole : i want you . ej : but nothing about our business arrangement has changed . we still have our agreement . kate : mm . well , after what you just said , that 's a little hard to believe . ej : really ? kate : mm . ej : that the success of your company is beneficial to me . kate : you know exactly what i 'm talking about . ej : kate , i do n't know how much more clear i could be . kate : [ sighs ] ej : you 're in charge of countess wilhelmina . you make 100 percent of the day- to - day decisions . i have no interest in the minutiae . kate : just the rewards ? ej : right , but i thought we understood that . kate : no , i do , i do . i 'm just checking . ej : look , if this company is successful , it shines a light on the family name globally . kate : that 's more important to you than the bottom line ? ej : that is the bottom line , kate . your company and all of our other holdings , their legitimacy , their strength , that 's our success . kate : wow . that 's a lot of pressure for my little cosmetics firm . ej : well , i think you can handle it , and you 've never thought small . kate : well , no , no . i mean , i am flattered that you think my cosmetics business could legitimatize the dimera name . it 's just a tall order . ej : it 's all about appearances , really , is n't it ? kate : really ? ej : mm - hmm . kate : do you believe that ? ej : i do , and more to the point , i know that you do too . sami : you are my hero ... every day . rafe : i wan na be . sami : but that does n't mean you have to be strong every single minute , you know . rafe : well , i 'm not . i just -- i pretend to be . sami : you do n't have to . you are strong for me , and you help me be strong . you have to let me help you . and even if i am sick ... i know i have you . rafe : you have me . always . chad : so i got bottle service at the club last night -- abigail : okay , first of all , do not ever think you did something wrong . gabi : abigail , will and i had sex once , and never again . he 's just not interested in me , okay ? i think he cares about me and he wants to be close to me , but he 's just not into me , and that 's what this is all about . abigail : but why would n't he be into you ? why would n't he want you ? okay , gabi , can i ask you something a little bit personal ? gabi : [ sighs ] i think we 're beyond this point . abigail : all right , all right , all right . so when you and will are alone together , do you always just wait for him to initiate things ? gabi : well , um -- abigail : i mean really , really initiate . gabi : yeah . yeah , i guess i do . abigail : okay . well , maybe you should do something about that . gabi : you think ? abigail : yeah , i do . i mean , why not ? gabi : yeah . yeah , maybe you 're right . chad : all right , fellas , i 'm gon na have to bounce if i 'm gon na make it back to my urban studies class on time . uh , hey , abigail . do you wan na , um , walk me back to class ? abigail : yeah , i do . definitely . gabi : i have to go too . will : okay . gabi : uh , i 'll miss you . see you later ? will : yeah , sure . gabi : good . i ca n't wait . chad : [ clears throat ] uh , gabi ? come on . let 's go . and guys , more later . sonny : all right , take it easy . gabi : text me after class . chad : um , so what do you think about , like a -- doing , like , a weekly ticket raffle ? sonny : will , are you okay ? will : yeah . yeah , i 'm fine . i just , um -- i 'm gon na get a burger . kate : i mean , my company is going to deliver , but with all of the press the family has had lately -- i mean especially lately -- do think a successful company is really enough to upgrade the dimera name ? ej : do n't underestimate me , kate . kate : oh , no , heaven forbid . ej : [ laughs ] have a few tricks up my sleeve . kate : [ chuckles ] you know , i think you need a little more than that . ej : what ? kate : me . ej : in what capacity ? kate : well , i mean , not me exactly . someone -- someone like me . a kate . a devoted wife . someone who can smile prettily for the cameras just at the right moment to deflect attention away from you . ej : oh , you mean a trophy wife ? kate : no , no . i mean a real wife . a devoted wife , like i am to your father . unflinchingly devoted . that 's exactly what you need . ej : i 'll keep that in mind . thank you . kate : i 'm serious , ej . you need someone who is going to accept you for exactly what you are and put family first ... always . brady : [ chuckles ] you remember that conversation we had earlier today ? nicole : uh , before we got the phone call about chloe ? whether you changed your mind about kicking me out of the mansion . brady : yeah , yeah , that one . um , i did n't change my mind . but i also -- i do n't wan na put any pressure on our relationship . nicole : meaning ... brady : meaning i think we should take things lighter this time . just try it . we 'll -- you know , no strings , no commitments . we 'll just take it very ... easy . sound good ? nicole : okay . brady : you got ta trust me on this one . you 're not too happy about it , are you ? nicole : well , did you think i would be ? brady : i wan na take it one step at a time with you this time . easy . tell me you can deal with that . hey babe , thanks for going shopping . lexie : sami , it 's lexie . your test results are in . sami : yes ! where am i ? sami ... wait a minute . oh , my god . | brady and nicole talked about chloe at the pub . nicole reminded brady that they have to keep their stories straight about chloe 's attack . ej showed up at the pub and talked to them . ej taunted nicole about bouncing between him and brady . brady got in ej 's face and ej thought he was going to beat him up again . brady was tempted to do it . during their argument , nicole slapped ej . brady told nicole that ej was n't worth fighting with anymore . sami saw rafe using his laptop and saw him looking at cancer information . she assumed that lexie told him that she has ovarian cancer . sami was upset . rafe let her know that lexie did n't call . she reminded rafe that he told her not to read info that 's online . she thought he should n't have looked up the info and ran into the bedroom . |
sami : hi ! marlena : hi . sami : thank you so much for coming . marlena : oh , you are so welcome . oh , i know how tough it is to get kids off to school in the morning . and you ca n't find any time for yourself . sami : yes . true -- marlena : and i also wanted to talk to you about something . it 's something that i 'd like to have you hear from me , not anybody else . sami : sounds ominous . marlena : well , no . actually , it 's , uh -- it 's about brady . he 's , uh -- he 's offered kate a job at titan . sami : yeah , i know . marlena : oh ! okay . well , um , you know , he 's going through a lot right now . and , uh , i 'm just sort of hoping that you can find your way to be supportive . sami : mom , he hired kate . of all people on the planet , kate . and i 'm not allowed to say anything ? marlena : this job is good for brady right now . and i think that kate can help him carry the load , so ... that a girl ? sami : okay . marlena : thanks . glad that 's settled . [ laughs ] rafe : would you two just keep some distance ? and it will be a hell of a lot more peaceful for everyone . nicole : okay , fine . rafe : okay . nicole : but i still need to talk to you in private ? about the baby . rafe : okay . nicole : our baby ? sami : bitch . marlena : whoo ! so sorry . and who would that be ? sami : oh . [ chuckles ] mom ! do n't you know ? nicole . rafe : i just wanted to say i think it 's really nice of you , helping caroline out like this . gabi : well , actually , she 's helping me out . she gave me my job back . rafe : why ? you have a job . modeling , right ? i mean , it 's totally okay with me now . gabi : i know -- i know it is . but it 's not okay with me . i quit . chad : hey ! uh -- i thought you were gon na sleep in this morning . melanie : hey , yeah . good morning ! i was . i just , um -- i could n't sleep , so i just returned some emails to my -- silly thing -- to my mom and dad and grandma . [ chuckles ] chad : are you done ? melanie : mm - hmm . chad : then get your cute butt back to bed . melanie : much better . chad : i know why you could n't sleep . it 's because of nick , is n't it ? abigail : [ laughs ] nick : it 's so good to see you , cuz . abigail : i wanted to see you before you left town with your mom . nick : oh , yeah . there 's , um , there 's actually been a little change of plans . abigail : what happened ? they revoked the parole ? nick : no ! no , no , no , no , no . but , um , under the terms of the parole , i have to stay here in salem . abigail : [ sighs ] will : hey . so i got your text . you wanted to see me ? sonny : yeah . uh , there 's something i wanted to talk to you about . daniel : are you sure about this ? you really wan na give up tending bar to be the chief of staff at a major research hospital ? kayla : well , what can i say ? i need a break . stress was really getting to me , you know ? daniel : mm . well , i can say on behalf of almost everyone here , uh , glad to have you back . kayla : yeah . i 'm glad to be coming back . you know , and if i have my way , i wo n't be the only one rejoining the ranks . daniel : yeah ? kayla : i am hoping that jennifer will come back too . jennifer : here you go . nicole : oh ! jennifer : this used to really help me when i was pregnant with jj . nicole : thank you . look , i 'm sorry to be such a pain in the -- a bother . jennifer : no ! no . you 're not at all . i , um , i find it so interesting how you and daniel have become friends . i -- i suppose , um , him save -- saving the baby really forged this very powerful bond between the two of you . nicole : [ chuckles ] uh , actually , it 's a little more complicated than a friendship . marlena : so i share with you how concerned i am about brady , and you respond , apropos to nothing , by calling nicole a name ? what is , uh , what is happening with you ? sami : mom , it 's the same thing that 's going to continue to happen as long as she 's living in salem at the same time that i am . i bumped into her bump . marlena : oh , nicole . and is she taunting you about being pregnant with rafe 's child ? sami : yes , and , mom , i am never , ever going to understand why they did what they did . jennifer : what do you mean when you say , um , more complicated ? nicole : well , it 's -- it 's weird , you know ? my -- well , my life has always been complicated . you see , ej -- he was one of the many bumps in my road . but he was really hard on me when he found out about the baby . and daniel , he was great right from the beginning . he was protective , right ? he was just this old- fashioned good guy . jennifer : yeah , he is . he goes the extra mile for every single one of his patients . nicole : and saving this baby was n't the first thing that he did for me . it was just the most recent thing . jennifer : implying that he 's going to continue doing great things . nicole : and that 's why i will want him in my life forever . daniel : so , you 're , uh -- you 're gon na bring jennifer back . kayla : well , it 's not set in stone , but i -- you know , she 's great at her job . daniel : mm - hmm . kayla : and i think it 'll be really good for her , distract her from her grief . what do you think about it ? melanie : yes . yeah . uh , i was thinking about nick . but that 's over now . chad : is it ? melanie : mm - hmm . he 's going far east with his mom . chad : [ sighs ] and we 'll have our life here . melanie : exactly . [ phone rings ] chad : oh ... sorry . melanie : oh , no , no . chad : [ groans ] melanie : do n't go , do n't go , do n't go , do n't go -- chad : oh , i have to . i 'm sorry . i promised sonny that i would pick up a deposit for him at the coffee shop . but we 'll continue this later ? melanie : well , i do like having something to look forward to . chad : mmm , me too . melanie : all right , go . chad : [ groans ] [ door closes ] melanie : [ sighs ] marlena : sami , i know exactly how you feel . sami : are you really on my side ? marlena : of course i 'm on your side . look , nicole -- thank you -- will continue to taunt you . you ca n't change that . and she 's gon na have rafe 's baby . you ca n't change that . the only thing you can change is your response to it . and that , darling girl , is the only thing that 's gon na make you happy . rafe : you quit ? but you wanted to model more than anything . what could possibly have made you quit ? gabi : why ca n't i take this job ? i mean , what 's it to you , chad ? chad : well , here 's what it comes down to . you love modeling , right ? gabi : yeah , you know i do . chad : okay , well , remember that time when you tried to take away what i love most ? melanie ? now it 's my turn to take away something you love . gabi : i - i got -- people need coffee , excuse me . rafe : did sami say something to you ? huh ? gabi : look , rafe , it 's all for the best , okay ? rafe : gabi . not so sure about that . if you think occasional irregularity is no big deal , abigail : does melanie know that you 're staying in salem ? because even though she did n't try to stop you from getting parole , nick , i 'm not sure that she 's comfortable with the idea of you being back in town . nick : i think you 're right . i think she will be bothered at first . but i 'm hoping , after a while , she 'll see for herself that i 've turned myself around . abigail : well , you sure seem like the nick i grew up with . nick : i am that guy . and i swear , i -- i 'm not gon na give melanie a reason to regret doing what she did for me . will : okay , what 's up ? why do you -- what do you wan na talk to me about ? sonny : i was just gon na ask you if , uh , what you were -- will : wha -- wha -- wha -- i 'm sorry . look , i - i mean , i 'm glad you did text me because i thought we , you know -- we needed to clear the air . sonny : you think it needs to be cleared ? will : yeah . sonny : well , i just thought maybe we could just kinda -- just move on and not even talk about it , you know ? will : oh , okay , yeah . that too . that works . it 's just that , you know , i -- i - i know you think i 'm a jerk . and i know , you know , you -- you think i ca n't handle being gay , or -- sonny : no , no , no . i did n't say that . i did n't say that . will : well , yeah . i mean , you did n't say those exact words , but that 's kind of , i think , the conclusion that you -- that you drew . sonny : no , no , i - i did n't mean anything . will : i - i -- i 'm not -- i 'm sorry . i 'm not looking for an apology or anything . i do n't want you to apologize . i 'm just saying that i think you made , you know , a few good points . um , couple good points . and , uh , i am working on it . so , yeah . maybe i could use a little encouragement or something . [ chuckles ] sonny : well , um -- chad : will . hey , man . sonny : what 's up ? chad : have n't talked to you in , like , forever . will : yeah , yeah . chad : uh , yeah . um , i think you and i have a lot to talk about . jennifer : i think i 'm going to give you some advice with the tea and sympathy . daniel is a , uh , great , great doctor , but i think you also need to be honest with yourself and realize that you are very vulnerable right now . and i think it would be a really big mistake to -- to make all of this into more than it really is . if you excuse me , i - i 'm running late . nicole : i have a really great idea . i do n't have really anything to do , so maybe i could take some of your pictures of jack , and i can make a scrapbook for -- for the kids or maybe for your bedside -- jennifer : no , you do n't really -- you do n't need to bother doing that at all . i -- i 'm just fine , thank you . i 'm really running late . nicole : bye .

[ sighs ] and if i 'm incriminated ... okay , no . no , that 's not gon na happen . i have to find out what 's going on . jj : i know that it was horrible . but , mom , it was a mistake . i - i had to get rid of -- jennifer : the drugs ? you had to get rid of the drugs that you had in my home ? jj : i was going to give the laced doughnuts to my friends . jennifer : oh , so it was an act of charity , jj ? jj : mom , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry . jennifer : no , you 're not really sorry . you 're sorry that you got caught ... because that did n't stop you last time either , did it ? remember the -- the other time that you were really , really sorry ? you did n't stop lying then or dealing drugs then either , did you ? how does that feel ? how does that feel to just -- to just make your mother look like such a fool ? `` oh , no , mom , those shoes -- those are rory 's new shoes . they 're not mine . and you know what ? i want to go to the library , mom . i want to study . `` my god , jj , you played me for a complete fool . i was a complete fool . brady : i do n't understand this -- this reaction of yours . i mean , is this a religious thing or something ? kristen : no . but speaking of that , do you really think eric 's gon na let me get married in his church ? brady : do n't worry about him , okay ? do n't worry about him . i 'll take care of him and st. luke 's . this could be fun . kristen : fun ? brady : yeah . come on , imagine you and i in a room talking openly about marriage . heck , we might get to know each other in ways we have n't yet . it 's not like we have any secrets from eric . kristen : i 'm not gon na do it . matt : i think the reason you 're so upset about the dream is really simple . you 're under a lot of stress . you were already overworked when you took on the school and the scholarship . and then there 's your sister . i know how upsetting it must be to watch what 's going on . eric : yeah . it 's not easy , yes . she 's telling the truth about everything . matt : well , then we have to count on our faith in god and the legal system . eric : i am . i - i really am . you know , it 's just weird being a twin . i 've always been able to handle things much better when it 's been about me than my sister . and we 're being compounded by the fact that so much has happened to my sister . matt : are you saying she brought this on herself ? eric : actually , no . for the first time , i think she 's an innocent victim who was in the wrong place at the wrong time . matt : with a gun . eric : yeah . there 's that . sami : um , so you argued against the continuance , right ? justin : yes . it did n't take long . i stated our case . my sense is that we 'll get an answer soon . sami : how was trask ? justin : actually , she seemed a little nervous . sami : but that 's good , do n't you think ? i mean , she seems like the type that does n't get unnerved easily . justin : yeah , well , i 'd feel better if i was n't so nervous myself . stefano : hello , elvis . [ clears throat ] well ... i hear things are looking up for your fiancée . jennifer : it is like you are just driven to self - destruct . you get yourself kicked out of boarding school , and you lie about it . and i know that you set out to destroy daniel 's mp3 player , parker 's train set , daniel 's car , and you lied about all of it . but do you want to know what really , really gets me ? it 's that you threw your father 's memory in my face ! everything that your father and i have worked for , for what we wanted in our family , you just -- i ca n't even say the word for what you did to his memory ! what happened to you ? jj : that 's what happened to me . go on , go on over to him . let him make you feel better . he 's the only one you really care about . i can stay in jail . that 's fine by me . i just want you to get out of my damn face ! ej : i do n't know what it is you think you know about samantha 's case , but i can assure you it 's none of your business . stefano : mm - hmm . maybe . but , um , you know , even though there are a lot of people who think that i am retired , i mean , i get a lot of phone calls with information . ej : do you ? stefano : mm . ej : special at the early - bird dinner ? stefano : [ chuckles ] that 's a good one . but you know what ? the really good thing is that all the money was found in that dead police officer 's son 's little bank , you know ? now , any detective who was honest would never leave that kind of money in a child 's bank , would he ? maybe , just maybe , that is samantha 's ticket to freedom . ej : no , samantha 's ticket to freedom , father , is that she 's telling the truth . stefano : [ chuckles ] well , that 's a little naive , now , do n't you think ? okay , well , anyway , that 's beside the point . the thing is this -- one other thing that bothers me is your demeanor . i do n't want to hurt your feelings by this or anything . i hope you do n't mind my saying it . but i watched you when you walked in the door . and i do n't know . you walked like you had -- were -- i do n't know . like a little ... weak little puppy . ej : i just learned not to jump the gun . stefano : oh , boy . if you had only learned that before you stabbed your father in the back . sami : justin , what are you talking about ? why are you nervous ? justin : wrong word . [ chuckles ] no , i just , uh -- i just hope that if this new evidence about the money in timmy 's account does n't pan out that it does n't end up hurting our case . sami : how could it hurt our case ? the money proves that bernardi was a dirty cop . justin : sami , i should n't have said anything . really , you need to stay focused . forget i said it . [ cell phone ringing ] justin : oh . here 's the judge . i got to go . really , just forget i said anything , anything at all . okay , bye . sami : [ scoffs ] yeah , sure . no problem , justin . nothing to be nervous about now . obviously , you think that ej planted that evidence . [ sighs ] brady : you know , i knew this was gon na be a hard sell , but i had no idea you were gon na freak out the way you did . kristen : i did n't freak out . brady : oh , you 're right . it was a calm , considered response that you had . kristen : [ sighs ] okay , maybe i freaked out a little bit . brady : yeah . kristen : you 're right . we should be able to talk about everything and anything . brady : yeah . kristen : so i 'm gon na go talk to eric about it , but , you know , just do n't expect me to make any promises . brady : that sounds reasonable . all right . kristen : okay . brady : by the way , the reason i want to do this is because i love you . i just love you . kristen : i just love you too . brady : mm . jennifer : oh , okay . why do n't you just add to the list `` you 're a coward `` ? jj : what ? jennifer : you screw up seven ways from sunday , and you want to blame everyone else . you do n't even have the guts to say , `` i did these things . `` no , all you say is , `` my mom has a boyfriend . my dad died . i 'm not to blame . i did n't do any of this . `` jj : mom -- jennifer : you know what ? i will always love you ... always . but i do not like you right now . and you know what ? i 'm getting you a lawyer , because as much as you want me out of your face , i do n't think you want to go to jail . why do n't you ask nick ? okay , mr. deveraux , i 'm gon na need your full attention . jennifer : excuse me . his lawyer is not here yet . it 's just some paperwork , okay ? jennifer : yeah . lee : you 're getting to be more and more like your father every day , but i do n't think that even he was this stupid ! abigail : mom , should -- should i call uncle justin ? jennifer : no . he 's working on sami 's trial , but hope is sending someone down . i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . your brother is in so much trouble , and i am so ... abigail : angry . yes , mom , you should be . jennifer : i am so afraid he 's gon na mouth off to one of these cops . abigail : no , he wo n't , mom . i 'll -- i 'll talk to him . like he 'll listen to anyone . daniel : can i , uh -- what can i do ? times almost up for sears biggest daniel : hey , you 'll get through this , you know . we 'll get him out of here . jennifer : daniel , you were so right about everything . i was so wrong . abigail : jj , you listen to me . you better not give these cops any attitude . daniel : that 's not what 's important . you , uh , want me to call justin ? jennifer : no . there 's a lawyer on the way . i am so sorry . daniel : no , it 's okay . i mean , it may not feel like it , but maybe ... maybe it had to happen . i mean , maybe now he 'll let you help him . maybe now you can get through to him . jennifer : yeah , now that i am not a blind idiot . daniel : now that you know the truth . lies -- they throw you . you 're so honest , you ca n't process them . but you are so good with the truth . jennifer : do you really think i can get him back ? daniel : i know you can . [ pager rings ] jennifer : oh . i 'm sorry . you probably have an emergency . someone needs you . daniel : ah , it 's surgery . um , i could get a sub -- jennifer : okay , no , you go . no , you go . i mean , i know that i have you with me ... even if you 're not right here . daniel : i am . ej : yes , i thought you were being very jovial in your defeat . stefano : do i look like a defeated man to you ? [ chuckles ] i mean , i have the money i need . and i certainly do n't have to worry about problems day to day because you took care of it for me . ej : oh , happy to oblige . stefano : yes , which gave me a new perspective . ej : what new perspective ? stefano : well , it seems that some of your critics feel that this situation that you 've been going through with samantha , right , has turned you into not the man that you always have been , see ? but i said to them , `` look ... my son certainly is intelligent enough to deal with anything that comes his way , no matter what happens with samantha one way or the other . ej : oh , my fiancée 's gon na be fine , father . she can beat these ridiculous charges . and then the real criminal will be brought to justice . stefano : hmm . what a wonderful thought . i really , really wish that i could help you , but alas , my hands are tied . ej : i wish they were tied ... behind your back on a gallows . theresa : uh , so have you seen jennifer around ? maxine : she had to leave . theresa : personal emergency ? maxine : do n't know . did n't ask . theresa : okay . maxine : oh , hey , i was just gon na page you . that surgery got postponed . daniel : ugh , damn it . maxine : you went to the station house ? i 'm glad you went . i know you two are not together , but i 'm glad you went . daniel : uh , she 's my friend . i just needed to make sure she 's okay . maxine : yeah . she 's your friend . you just keep telling yourself that , okay ? theresa : hi . um , i heard about jj . so , uh , i was just wondering if there was anything i could do to help . daniel : you know , that 's very , uh -- that 's very nice of you , but there 's really not much anybody can do right now . theresa : so i guess my name did n't come up . let 's hope it stays like that . brady : you do n't look like you 're enjoying that coffee too much . nicole : it 's not the coffee that sucks . brady : would you like to talk about it ? nicole : it 's none of my business . maybe i should n't . brady : that 's not your standard operating procedure , nicole . by the way , can i tell kristen not to expect any more stealth attacks ? nicole : [ scoffs ] brady : hmm ? nicole : it was n't an attack . it was a tête - à - tête . i was just chewing the fat with that catastrophic mistake you 're about to marry . eric : i 'm just tired of all this gnawing at me . matt : our fallback position is still the same -- pray for guidance and maybe all will be revealed . [ knock at door ] kristen : hi . am i interrupting ? is this a bad time ? matt : oh , no , i was just about to leave . eric : thanks again , father matt . matt : all right . eric : please , come in . i have the actual last two applications right here . it 's gon na be a tough call to make . kristen : yep . well , i think i know of a way to make it a whole lot easier . theresa : hey , i heard your surgery got postponed . maybe i could buy you a cup of coffee ? daniel : uh , no , no . theresa : you know , i 'm a really good listener . i 'm sure i could help you forget about the whole thing . daniel : okay , did you hear where i said `` no `` ? i thought i was pretty clear before . theresa : oh . oh , god . i just -- i meant as friends . seriously , i did n't mean anything else by it , i promise . dr. jonas , i really just want to help . i mean , there 's got to be something i could do . daniel : [ exhales sharply ] abigail : do n't be stupid , jj . this is n't about daniel . this is about you . this is about you selling drugs and getting caught doing it . jj : i do n't expect you to understand anything . it 's like you do n't know me at all . abigail : you 're right , jj . i do n't know you at all ... but i really want my brother back . lee : first time , huh ? jennifer : excuse me . lee : i 'm rory 's mother . i 've been getting calls to come down since he was 13 years old . [ sighs ] but i could tell it 's your first time . jennifer : uh , no -- lee : you know , i guess 16 , 17 times is the charm . i just told him i 'm done with it . i 'm done with him . i 'm kicking him out as soon as it 's humanly possible . jennifer : what ? lee : and if you were smart , you 'd do the right thing -- save yourself a whole lot of grief , 'cause it may be the first time , but it sure as hell wo n't be the last . you can see in his eyes he 's not gon na change . jennifer : no , no -- lee : i see your old man hightailed it out of here . washed his hands of it , right ? jennifer : what ? lee : his dad -- he was here for , what , two minutes ? jennifer : no . that -- that was not jj 's father . jj 's father is dead . that -- lee : oh . good rebound . be careful , okay ? that 's a fine - looking man you 've got there . this one -- he sent two guys i really liked packing . i d did n't matter we got along . you see , what they all do n't want is domestic problems . jennifer : you know what ? i really do n't want to have this conversation right now , please . lee : you know , all i 'm saying is save yourself the pain . he 's good - looking . your girl is real nice . cut your losses and concentrate on the things that count , 'cause take it from me ... that kid of yours ai n't worth it . nicole : brady , i care about you . and after what that woman did to you the first time around , i just -- i ca n't stand to see you get hurt again . brady : yeah , but that 's -- that 's definitely in the `` none of your business `` column . nicole : hey , wait a minute . i 'm ... i 'm serious when i say she 's a mistake . and i will never accept that you two belong together . and i do n't think eric will either . kristen : well , i happen to think that both final candidates deserve to be in the final slot . eric : what do you propose ? kristen : i 'm gon na give you more money , so they can both attend . eric : wow . kristen : yeah , i started thinking about that last kid that got so far , only to be rejected , you know . that kind of disappointment can really twist you up . i mean , twist one up . eric : yeah . well , i 'm gon na make two great phone calls because of you . so i guess our business is done . kristen : uh , no , not quite . daniel : there is n't anything you can do , theresa . i appreciate your concern . i 'm sure jennifer is handling things . she 's a very strong , resilient woman . um ... excuse me . theresa : [ scoffs ] well , that 's your last chance , mister . you just blew the best thing you could ever have .

[ keys clacking ] theresa : very interesting . jj : you and mom are just alike , you know that ? you think things are so great , but they 're not . we can never be what we were before dad died . i 'll never be that same kid again , so stop trying to turn me into something that i 'm not . you ready ? it 's time to go . jj : where ? to your cell . jennifer : i do n't know how you can say that you 're gon na give up on your son . i will never give up on my son . lee : fine . keep wringing your hands and gnashing your teeth , but it 's not gon na change anything . he 's going down , and there 's nothing you can do about it . abigail : they 're taking him away . what 's going to happen to him , mom ? to us ? brady : you know , i think you 're wrong about eric , actually . as a matter of fact , nicole , he may wind up ... marrying kristen and me . eric : there 's something else that we need to talk about ? kristen : yes . this pre - cana thing . eric : brady told you about that . kristen : yeah . and i would really like it if you would tell him that you thought it over and that the answer 's no . sami : hey . hey . justin was here , and he said he got a text from the judge , so he 's , um , gon na go find out if the judge has ruled on the continuance . ej : good . sami : is everything okay ? ej : i ran into my father . it was n't very pleasant . sami : well , it never is . ej : yeah . sami : ej , i 'm sorry . your dad must be getting a thrill out of it , knowing that i 'm in hell because he put me here . ej : not for long . let me tell you something -- he is going to pay for what he did . justin : okay . continuance was denied . ej : [ exhales ] justin : the jury 's been ordered back in . the prosecution has to start their case . sami : good . when ? justin : today . your trial starts today . | justin wanted ej to tell him what he 's up to if he 's supposed to fight the continuance . jennifer read jj the riot act for his behavior . brady and kristen talked about eric . brady let kristen know that he asked eric to marry them , but kristen was against it . jennifer warned jj that he was n't going to lie to her again . she wanted to know if jj had drugs in the house . jj 's silence told jennifer everything she needed to know . kristen continued to protest eric officiating their ceremony . justin asked ej if he planted the money in timmy 's account . ej did n't want to answer that . jennifer realized that jj was responsible for the ladies behavior at the book club meeting . she realized that jj laced the donuts . jj tried to explain to jennifer what he was doing when he sold drugs , but she did n't want to hear it . brady kept trying to get kristen to change her mind about eric officiating their wedding . stefano ran into ej at the coffee shop . stefano asked how his fiancée was doing . jennifer continued to yell at jj . when jj and jennifer noticed daniel at the station , jj yelled at jennifer . jj said he would rather stay in jail and that he wanted her out of his face . |

[ somber music ] laura : for some reason -- i mean , they seem to under - diagnose ptsd at that facility . i do n't know why , i mean , maybe it 's their philosophy . and they were giving abigail medications , anxiety medications that can worsen the symptoms of ptsd . honey , the world that she knew was an unsafe place for her . that 's why she ran . she was n't running from you . she was n't running to anything in particular . she was just running . and she never , sweetheart , stopped loving you . and she did not die believing that you did n't love her . jennifer : oh , god . laura : sweetheart , i know that in her own way , she was , she was trying to find a way back to you . please , sweetheart , believe that . i promise you it 's the truth .

[ tender music ] steve : listen , uh , i -- i do n't mean to send you mixed signals . it 's just , i -- i -- i 'm all over the place right now . i mean , i was talking to adrienne earlier , i actually told her i was freaking out . i mean , i actually used those words . kayla : yeah . brothers and sisters can help us regress , ca n't they ? i was talking to kimberly on the phone the other day , and i confessed that i was buggin ' . steve : oh . kayla : i do n't even know what that means . steve : well , it 's not good . you think , uh , we 'll ever be able to use words like `` chill ? `` `` awesome . `` hell , i 'd even settle for `` bitchin ' . `` kayla : and `` we 're happy . `` i wonder what that would feel like . steve : that would feel right . that should be our goal . it 's my goal . and i mean it this time . [ tapping ] marlena : i was stunned to get your message . what do you want ? [ wily music ] clyde : well , here 's the deal . i get no privileges , i mean , none . no matter where they put me . but if i could get a better psych eval , that could get the boot off my neck , so to speak . marlena : and you think i would do that for you ? clyde : i know that you could . marlena : i could evaluate you , yes . but there 's no guarantee that things would tilt the way you 'd like them to . clyde : just a minute there , doctor . we 're not through yet . nicole : you really asked maggie and victor to move back in ? deimos : yeah , that 's right . i 'm hoping the man victor was all those years ago is not the man he is today . i just do n't want to hate him anymore . nicole : i do n't get it . what happened ? deimos : you . nicole : me ? deimos : mm - hmm . nicole : oh , please . i 'm the original `` get even `` girl . deimos : what can i say ? when i 'm with you , i ca n't even think about hating anybody . nicole : i actually think you mean that . deimos : well , if you believe anything i say , that puts you in a very select group . nicole : hmm , well , i make my own mind up about people . deimos : i 'm sure you do . nicole : mm - hmm . deimos : but that does n't mean i 'm gon na be a boy scout , i hope you realize that . nicole : oh , i know . deimos : which is why i 'm sure someone is trying to make it look like i kidnapped brady 's son . [ electronic ringing ] deimos : excuse me . [ clears throat ] nicole : did you talk to victor about that ? deimos : yes , i did . he 's hired john black to investigate this drug dealer named titus drew . nicole : i remember that name from my reporting days . deimos : really ? nicole : yeah . deimos : well , i had some dealings with him . so did victor . nicole : what kind of dealings ? deimos : it 's not important . it 's in the past . nicole : mm . deimos : i 'm just telling you because john seems to think that he may lead us to whoever 's trying to set us up . [ romantic music ] nicole : well , um , what if i used my reporting skills on your behalf ? deimos : you would do that ? nicole : absolutely . deimos : that would be great . nicole : i 'll get right to work . deimos : wait a minute . wait a minute . come here . nicole : my goodness . for a man who 's a suspect in a kidnapping , you 're in a pretty good mood . deimos : well , it must be the company i keep . nicole : [ chuckles ] [ door closes ] [ dramatic music ] victor : brady , i know you saw me . can we talk ? brady : why ? i know what we 're gon na talk about . i 'm going to accuse you of kidnapping my son . you 're gon na say you did n't do it . can i go now ? victor : no , just stay for a little bit . i have more for you than just a simple denial . [ dramatic music ] jennifer : chad , i thought that we agreed that it would be best for thomas to stay with adrienne and lucas right now . laura : that little boy is a piece of heaven . is anything wrong ? jennifer : we just need to talk privately right now . laura : all right . well , it 's a good thing we brought two cars , huh ? jennifer : yeah . laura : all right , darling . i 'll see you back at the house . jennifer : okay . chad : dr. horton , i 'll hope you be in salem for a while so i -- she hates me . jennifer : like most people in this town , she 's had some pretty unpleasant dealings with your family . chad : i 'm not gon na let my son leave this house . jennifer : chad -- [ footsteps approach ] lucas : i , uh , think we showed up at a bad time . adrienne : oh . chad : what are you doing here ? jennifer : i called them to -- chad : so you 're just gon na make those decisions no matter what i say ? clyde : you 're so slick . [ wily music ] clyde : think you got all the answers , do n't you ? that you , uh , control the whole game ? marlena : well , i 'm not sure what the game is , but as far as control goes , you have none of that in here . so i can understand how you might feel a little of jealous of people that have their freedoms . clyde : jealous ? let me tell you , i 'd rather be stuck here in this hellhole than have to deal with the good people of salem . marlena : that 's so interesting . i 'll make sure i write that up and put that in your evaluation . orpheus : hey , that looked just like ... clyde : the devil ? orpheus : yeah . yeah , something like that . what 's your name ? clyde : clyde . clyde weston . yours ? orpheus : my name is milo harp , but i used to be known as `` orpheus . `` [ cymbal shimmers ] victor : you know i made a promise to your mother that i would always take care of you . brady : [ clears throat ] here we go again . victor : if you believe that i took your boy , then you believe i was conning her when i made that promise . brady : you know , bringing my mother into this , that 's a pretty cheap shot , even for you . victor : i 'm not playing by any rules . i 'll do whatever i have to to make you believe me . now , i know you looked at the facts , and you think you 've come to the only conclusion , but you 're being suckered by the people that took tate -- brady : 'cause i can be suckered , because i 'm -- i 'm gullible . i 've always been gullible . right ? victor : i want you to forget the facts and take a leap of faith . i want you to believe in me and my love for you and for your boy . steve : look , the problem is n't with us . it 's me . i mean , adrienne said that , uh , i did n't want to ask for help because i would think it was weak . and i admit that 's -- that 's part of it . but if i do n't ask for help , and it means losing you , i 'll take the help . kayla : i ca n't make these decisions for you . you are gon na have to figure it out for yourself . i know you want to change . but changing your career path is n't the answer . i do n't want you to be something that you 're not . i just want to see you stop running from yourself . and whether you do that or not is completely up to you . but i can not nag anymore . i can not complain . i 'm done . steve : i know . kayla : well . good luck with all that . steve : hey , so -- listen . i 'm gon na handle this . i 'm gon na find someone to talk to who 's not a personal friend , who 's not marlena , and i -- i 'll try that for a while , see how that goes . okay ? kayla : sounds good . steve : and i 'll work hard , i promise . kayla : it all sounds really good . but i have to say , uh , i 'll believe it when i see it . [ dramatic music ] my belly pain and constipation ? you have kids . you know how hard it is for -- for me to just say , like , `` yes , please , take my son . i 'll see you when i can . `` i mean , what would you do in my position ? adrienne : we could move in here . lucas : [ chuckles ] sorry , excuse me for a second . we could what , where ? did you just say `` move in here ? `` adrienne : yeah , yeah . oh , calm down . it 's a perfect solution . lucas : inviting more dimeras into your life is never a good solution , honey . it 's usually a problem , a big problem . so i say no . hell no . adrienne : lucas , you listen to me and you listen hard . it 's not about you , baby . it 's about thomas . we could all love on him while we get through our grief . lucas : you 're serious , are n't you ? you really want me to live in this house ? adrienne : jennifer 's your sister . thomas is your grand - nephew . lucas , this is where he lives . we 're family . does n't family mean anything to you ? lucas : whoa -- whoa -- wait a minute . do n't do that . and do n't -- do n't get all teary eyed on me . i hate when you do that . you know i ca n't say no to anything when you cry . please , stop , for me . all right , whatever you want . just do n't cry , okay ? adrienne : kay . this is why i love him . [ tender music ] jennifer : what do you say ? can this work for you ? chad : yeah . that i 'm okay with . clyde : so you know the venerable dr . evans , do you ? orpheus : well , it 's been a long time since she and i crossed paths . but i knew her intimately . [ dramatic music ] orpheus : i just wish i 'd recognized her sooner . i would love to have said hi . you know , catch up . i never dreamed i 'd be seeing the one person i hate more than anyone in the world . clyde : well then . we have something in common . orpheus : i 'm recently transferred here , and , uh , i 'm sure they 're gon na move me again soon . but it is an exquisite kind of torture to be this close to salem and yet find myself stuck behind bars . clyde : so tell me , what would you do if you were n't stuck behind bars ? orpheus : i 'd kill everyone in salem . we all need a hug in the morning ... steve : hey , sweetness , i did it . have you ever heard of , uh , dr . strauss ? dr. carmine strauss ? i got an appointment with him . and i think i 've already figured out what my issue is . kayla : that was quick . steve : well , yeah , well , i -- i have n't talked to him yet , but , um , they made me fill out this -- this , uh , really detailed form , all these personal questions . and , i read it over before i turned it back in and i saw a pattern . [ dramatic music ] steve : there were all these questions about my childhood . got me thinking about duke and everything he did to me and adrienne . and it really brought home to me that the way i am and everything i do now -- living on the edge and -- and -- and the dangerous jobs , all of that -- it 's nothing but the flip side of lousy self - esteem . kayla : no kidding . steve : you knew that ? why did n't you ever say anything ? kayla : would you have listened ? steve : no , probably not . so , look , i -- i have the appointment with him next week . and , um , after that i was wondering if we could press the reset button on us . kayla : the reset ? [ scoffs ] steve : you know . kayla : i do n't , actually . why do n't you figure it out ? get back to me . [ cymbal shimmers ] lucas : so , i mean , after we get to know thomas a little and he gets to know us , we could take him out of the house , right ? maybe go to the park ? chad : you got a car seat ? lucas : oh yeah .

[ wily music ] andre : i may have some good news . i happened to be at the right place at the right time today . i think i may have found someone that can turn out to be our ally . brady : how do you explain the pill that i found on your living room carpet ? victor : planted there to incriminate me . brady : what about theresa ? your hatred for her , has that changed ? i mean , are you finally ready to give us your blessing ? theresa : hey . what 's going on ? brady : nothing 's going on . i 'm done ; i 'm finished . victor : i was hoping that was n't so . really . [ ominous music ] theresa : hey , brady . are you okay ? brady : no , i mean , yeah . he wants me to believe that he had nothing to do with what happened to tate . and i -- i ca n't do it . but i am getting married to you . and what i do know is that he will not be there . deimos : great , you 're back . i was just upstairs trying to figure out where everyone would stay if victor takes me up on my offer . nicole : well luckily this place is huge . deimos : oh , i 'm sure we 'll still have plenty of privacy . nicole : we ? deimos : well , i 'm hoping you remember that i made an offer to you too ? nicole : well , to be honest , i -- i was n't really thrilled with that idea . deimos : and why is that ? nicole : sitting across the breakfast table from victor every morning of my life ? no , i 'm sorry . it 's not gon na happen . deimos : well , i did say it was your choice , right ? nicole : well , i do have something that might put you back in a good mood . deimos : really ? nicole : mm - hmm . deimos : and what 's that ? nicole : talked to one of my old sources about titus drew . [ odd thud ] [ ominous music ] deimos : oh , i 'm sure it 's just one of the maids . nicole : do you think that 'll help ? deimos : help ? nicole : mm - hmm ? deimos : are you kidding ? that could be the missing piece that blows this thing wide open . john : clyde actually thought that you were gon na give him a positive evaluation ? marlena : after all we 've been through , can you even believe that ? john : no . but , you know what , i do n't even care . i do n't want to talk about clyde weston . he 's really a non - issue . what i want to do is just focus on you . [ romantic music ] all right . us . orpheus : a pipe dream ? now , why would you think that ? clyde : well , is n't it obvious ? i mean , it 's one thing to plot revenge on your enemies if you 're not stuck in a hellhole like this , but we 're a little impotent here . orpheus : i never much cared for that word . [ suspenseful music ] clyde : so tell me , why do you hate marlena evans so much ? marlena : are you thinking of letting me go ? please let me go . orpheus : oh , i 'll -- i 'll tell you someday , perhaps . but in the meantime , why do n't we look for an opportunity to make our dreams of revenge a reality ?

[ dramatic music ] hattie : okay . i 'll make this simple . sometimes when somebody loves somebody , and they get together , everything seems just fine . and then at some point , the person they love just decides they love somebody else , a lot . and they love somebody else that they -- they just never got over . brady : maybe they 're just friends . maybe they 're friends , hm ? i mean , you and -- you and roman , you were friends before , right , for years ? marlena : yes . but see , the love never really went away . i 've seen this happen with hundreds of my patients . it 's the pull of that one , great , true first love . it just does n't go away . brady : no , that 's ridiculous . that 's insane , okay ? people -- people get over their first loves all the time . true love is when you find someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with . eric : what 're you doing here ? should n't you be home with holly and -- is everything okay ? nicole : oh , it 's wonderful . holly 's just getting her final exam . there 's nothing to worry about . eric : i 'm really thrilled for you . nicole : yeah . eric : but i 'm not so sure about the frog . nicole : oh , i ... i 'm just so nervous , excited . i ca n't believe this is really happening . eric : nobody deserves it more than you . i 'll leave you to it . nicole : wait , um ... what are you doing here ? eric : the horton center , they called about julie bates . it 's an emergency . nicole : she 's one of my favorite clients . you 've always been such an advocate of hers . if you need any help , just let me know . eric : oh , yeah , yeah , for sure . right now i think you need to worry about being a great mommy . nicole : thank you , again , for speaking up for me with the judge . eric : well , that was only the truth , you know . and you brought such light to the center . you know , i should get going . nicole : [ gasps ] my baby ! ohhh . hi , sweetie , hi .

[ dramatic music ] hattie : wow . brady : wow ? hattie : a competent psychiatrist can see that you are totally projecting . brady : no , i 'm not . we 're talking about you . hattie : are we ? brady : yeah , you betrayed my father . you broke his heart , and he 's -- he 's stood by you through every crisis your relationship has ever had . hattie : well , i 'm sorry that your father is hurt . but the sad fact is that , well , sometimes when one person follows their heart , somebody else gets hurt . brady : so you -- so you dump him ? ! it 's cruel ; it came out of nowhere . hattie : well , i 'm sorry that he got hurt . but you know what 's even worse ? somebody who is clinging to a relationship once it 's over . oh ... well . i think this conversation is tapping into some problems that you might be having with -- with nicole . brady : no , you 're completely wrong about that . [ overlapping arguing ] hattie : you got a little flop - sweat going on here , and your jaw 's all clenched up -- brady : no , it 's not . hattie : and you 're becoming very defensive . you know what ? a good therapist could help you with that . of course , that would not be me , but you could find some help . i think we 've put a button on this , do n't you ?

[ chuckles ] gabi : why are you being so hostile ? abigail : i 'm just trying to get to the truth . gabi : well , you 're grilling me like i broke into your house . abigail : uh , you kinda did . gabi : the door was unlocked . abigail : i 'm not the only person that lives here , gabi . what if you would have walked in on doug or julie or my mom and scared them half to death ? and , you know , quite frankly , you have n't explained to me what you 're doing here . gabi : i told you that i came to talk to you . i do n't understand this attitude . i mean , i know we 've been through a lot , but i thought things were getting better . abigail : you know , i did too . but the more that i think about it , the more something does n't really feel right , because you 're saying all the right things , and you 're telling me that you 're my best friend ... gabi : i am your best friend . abigail : and you claim to want chad and me to be together . gabi : i do . abigail : but then every time we 're on the verge of making that happen , you manage to interrupt . gabi : abigail , i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you 're talking about . abigail : oh , see , i do n't -- i do n't believe that . i think you 're doing it on purpose . gabi : why ? why would i do that ? abigail : because you are still angry at me for what i did to you after andre died . gabi : i told you that i -- abigail : yeah , you do n't blame me . you 're angry at stefan . and i wanted to believe that , so , you know , i ignored the signs , even though i felt like you were faking it all along . gabi : what , you think that i was faking our friendship ? abigail : i see your face , gabi , when you think i do n't notice . you 're smiling , but you are angry . gabi : and , what , you think i 'm lying to you ? abigail : you admitted it to jj . and why would n't you be bitter ? why would n't you blame me ? i did terrible things to you after my personality split . gabi : okay , you know what ? let 's not do this , abigail . abigail : i cost you your freedom , i cost you your daughter , and i almost cost you your life . you have every right to hate me , but every time i ask you about it , you say no , you 're not angry . gabi : abby -- abigail : you do n't blame me for anything , but you do . do n't lie to me . be honest . gabi : okay , you want me to be honest ? abigail : mm - hmm . gabi : you ruined my life . yes , you ruined my life . i do n't only blame stefan for everything that 's happened to me . i blame you too , and i always will . stefan : if you want to search the house , be my guest . eli : my man . all right , well , you 're welcome to follow along with us . stefan : uh , no , thank you . uh , i 've got a lot of work to catch up on . but you let me know if you need anything . eli : all right . stefan : mm - hmm . lani : we 'll start upstairs . [ sneaky music ] kristen : [ grunts ] stefan : oh , my god . the next time you hide in a secret passageway , make sure nobody sees -- kristen : you called me unstable ? john : talk to me , val . why is n't she breathing ? valerie : john ... john , i need you to leave this room . we 're gon na intubate her and help her breathe . john : but she was fine a minute ago . valerie : yes , i know , john . please . john : just do whatever you can to help her ! valerie : yes . [ tense music ] will : brady , do you think i want to hurt paul ? brady : mm , that 's exactly what you 're doing . will : so then is it better that i just lie to him ? brady : no , i think it might be better for you in this instance to put his feelings and concerns over your own . how about that ? will : [ sighs ] i - i do n't want to make things any worse for him . brady : good , good , then don't . then don't . what are you gon na do , will ? i mean , how -- how do you see this conversation going ? `` gee , hey , paul , thanks so much for , uh -- for saving my mother 's life and falling out of that window and nearly killing yourself . oh , by the way -- by the way , i got my memory back , so see ya . do n't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out . `` will : brady , come on . you know it 's not like that . brady : then what is it like ? how do you see it going ? you gon na sit by his bedside and let him down easy and he 's gon na be okay with it and say , `` hey , no hard feelings `` ? i got news for you , will . it 's not gon na go that way . there 's only so much a man can take . sonny used him when he thought that -- that you were dead , but the minute he realized that you were alive , you know what he did ? he dumped paul . will : no , that 's not true . brady : it is ! he literally left their wedding to go looking for you , will . that 's exactly what happened . you 're doing the same damn thing . you know what paul is ? paul 's a placeholder for you for when you got your memory back . that 's how it happens . will : no , i loved him . brady : you love him . will : [ stammering ] i did n't know my memory would come back . brady : i want you to be careful about using the word `` love . `` i do n't think you know what that means , 'cause to me , it does n't seem like you give a damn about paul . you and sonny seem to want what you want , and you do n't care about anybody else . well , i care about my brother , because he 's in a bed and he 's fighting for his life . and he ca n't fight for himself , so i 'm gon na fight . i 'm not gon na let you and sonny treat him this way ! sonny : whatever happens between will and me , i 'm just happy that ari has her daddy back . chad : yeah . i mean , i guess that is , uh , ultimately our job , right , to make our children feel safe and loved ? sonny : you know , i heard you -- you took thomas to the lake today . chad : yeah , i did . sonny : that must 've been great . i know you 've been missing him . chad : yeah , it was awesome . we had a ton of fun . you know , we went swimming , and we , you know , grilled . it 's just this , uh -- still just this cloud kind of hanging over us , you know . sonny : yeah , with abigail and the -- and the pregnancy ? chad : yeah . it 's just , i - i - i - i 'd love to be able to spend the day as a family . but no matter -- no matter ... no matter how hard i try , i just ca n't -- i ca n't get the idea that she 's carrying stefan 's child out of my mind , so ... sonny : that 's not getting any easier ? chad : no . no , i spoke with gabi about it . she brought up , you know , that she was in a similar situation with lani carrying eli 's child . sonny : what 'd she say ? chad : she said that ultimately she could n't get over the pain and the anger and , uh , it broke them up . sonny : that was different . chad : yeah , no , of course it was different . but i -- that does n't mean that i 'm gon na be able to -- does n't mean -- i do n't know how the hell i 'm gon na be able to accept that baby . abigail : well , finally , the truth . go ahead . go for it . why do n't you tell me how you really feel ? gabi : you know what ? let 's not do this , abigail , okay ? abigail : no , let 's do . instead of going and talking to chad or jj or sonny , why do n't you say it to me ? gabi : all right , fine . okay , here it is . yeah , i 'm angry . you have absolutely no idea how angry i am . but i 've just -- i 've had to keep it bottled up because that 's what you 're supposed to do . you 're supposed to turn the other cheek because it 's not your fault because you 're ill . that 's what everybody says , right ? everybody says that it 's not your fault that i went to prison , that it 's not your fault that i almost died , it 's not your fault that i almost lost my child . she 's never gon na be the same . i mean , god knows what kind of damage this has done to her , knowing that her mom abandoned her again . and that was your fault . because of you , i was beaten so badly that i almost died , and i probably will never , ever have children again . and here you are , pregnant , pregnant with stefan 's baby . and chad , of course , he still loves you . chad 's trying to find some way to accept that you 're carrying his brother 's child because that 's what we 're supposed to do . we 're supposed to help poor , sweet abigail , because nothing 's ever her fault because she 's mentally ill . i mean , how can i blame you , right ? and yet i do . abigail , i wake up every single morning furious of everything that you have done to me . here you are . you have everything , and i always end up with nothing . abigail : are you here because you want revenge ? stefan : have you lost your mind ? go back downstairs . kristen : you do n't have to be so hostile . stefan : just go ! go , go , go , go ! kristen : all right . stefan : crazy . finished searching the house ? lani : we did n't find anything . stefan : that 's because there 's nothing to find . now , it 's getting late , so if you do n't mind . eli : actually , one last thing before we go . we 'd like to check the tunnels . i 'm alex trebek here to tell you sonny : chad , you ca n't compare your situation to gabi 's . chad : yeah , well , i know . i know . i know . they were n't -- they were n't married . sonny : and they did n't have a child . abigail did n't cheat on you , okay , at least not on purpose . chad : yeah , i know . sonny : that was n't her with stefan . chad : i know , and it all makes sense in -- she was sick , and i know it was n't her fault . sonny : okay , so why not try and get past it ? chad : what do you mean ? i have -- i have tried ! i 've -- yeah , i 've tried , but i do n't know how to be with abby and i do n't know how to help her raise that child without feeling like i am getting stabbed in the gut over and over and over and over and over again , all right , because every time i see that baby , it 's gon na be a constant reminder of one of the worst days of my life . sonny : i understand that , okay , but i believe that your love is stronger than that . chad : stronger than my -- than what , my hate for stefan ? what if i take my resentment out on that kid ? sonny : no , you would never do that . chad : i do n't know . sonny : it 's still raw right now , that 's all . you have time . you do n't have to decide the rest of your life today . it 's not all or nothing . chad : abby -- abby does want me to spend more time with her and thomas , so ... sonny : okay , so try it , okay ? and whatever you decide to do in the end , i 'm not gon na judge you . but i will judge you if you give up . chad : i 'm not giving up . sonny : well , that 's good . hey , chad , things are gon na get better . you got to trust me . i mean , look at me and will . i never stopped loving him , and now we have a second chance at spending the rest of our lives together . brady : [ sighs ] the nurse said , uh , paul is still unconscious and , uh , they 're gon na run -- gon na run some more tests on him . will : he does not deserve this . brady : so why are you doing this , then ? will : i told you already . i -- brady : i think that you need to think about how you 're gon na handle this before you run in there and tell paul that you 're gon na dump him . really think long and hard about what you 're doing . will : i have thought about it . brady : will , you 've had your memory back , what , a day ? you consider that a long , hard thought process ? i mean , really ? will : well ... i - i know how i feel , and i -- you know , i know what i want . brady : it 's not all about what you want . i know you know what you want . here 's what i want . i would love for you to take some time and think about how amazing paul is . i want you to take some time and think about how protective he was when you first came into town , when you could n't remember anybody or anything about it . why do n't you think about how many times he 's had his heart crushed and especially about what he 's just been through . and , most importantly , i want you to consider not crushing his heart one more time . stefan : tunnels ? lani : we 're all aware that there 's a network of tunnels running through this house . eli : you know , where you helped hold , uh , let 's see , kate , marlena , and even your own mother prisoner ? stefan : yes , uh , i - i remember that . as a matter of fact , i did n't want a reminder of that in my house , so ... i had them sealed up . eli : really ? stefan : yes , there 's no longer access . eli : well , hell , if it 's all the same to you , we 'd just like to check just to be sure . stefan : you know what ? no . no , not without a warrant . so thank you for coming , detectives . if i hear from my sister , i will let you know . thank you , and good night . [ tense music ] sure , sis . i 'll lie to the cops for you . why not ? kristen : are they gone yet ? stefan : for now , but they 'll be back . -i 've seen lots of homes helping new customers gabi : no . no , i did not come here for revenge . i came here to talk to you . i did not intend for all of this to come out . abigail : well , i 'm glad it did . it 's better than keeping it all bottled up until something really bad happened . gabi : and i feel really bad about having these feelings . abigail : you know , i got to know , um , you know , when you keep interrupting chad and me , are you doing it on purpose ? gabi : no . no , i 'm not . i really want you two to be together . abigail : even after what i cost you ? gabi : you know , as angry as i am , i would never willfully try to hurt you . abigail : why not ? gabi : [ scoffs ] okay , fine . yeah , maybe subconsciously i was upset , so maybe i interrupted you because you were so happy and i was not . but i - i really do think that you and chad deserve to be together , happy . abigail : well , thank you for saying that . gabi : and i 'm working on my anger . you know , i ... i think that we could maybe get past this and have a fresh , new start . abigail : hmm . you know , everything you said about me ruining your life is true . gabi : it was n't you . abigail : no , but gabby 's a part of me , and i do need to take responsibility for her actions , so ... it is my fault that you went to prison . it is my fault that you might not be able to have children . and i am sorry , gabi . [ cell phone ringing ] gabi : it 's chad , is n't it ? abigail : gabi . gabi : yeah . it 's okay . i 'm gon na go . i got to go home anyway , so ... abigail : i 'm really glad that we talked . and i 'm -- i 'm sorry . gabi : me too .

[ dramatic music ] -and ... that 's your basic three - point turn . kate : vivian , i do n't think that you really want to do this . vivian : i ca n't think of anything that i 'd rather do more . kate : you mentioned this the last time we were together , before we struggled with the gun . you offered me the opportunity to team up with you and to take over titan . vivian : and you turned me down , in no uncertain terms . remember ? kate : yes , i do . i was angry , and i was short - sighted . i should have said yes . i see that now , and i would like to make it up to you . vivian : how would you do that ? kate : by making you the same offer . i assume that stefan has told you that i was named ceo of dimera enterprises ? vivian : mm - hmm . kate : what do you say the two of us join forces ? run the company together ? vivian : i 'm listening . eric : you know about kristen and brady ? nicole : oh , yeah . she told me her whole endgame . and i tried to convince her that brady would never want me back , and no one would believe that i would -- that i would choose him over you . eric : so that 's why she had to use holly 's death as an excuse ? nicole : oh , god . kayla : there you go . put pressure on that . you 're all good to go . sarah : thank you for doing that . kayla : oh , sure . listen , have you -- have you heard from eric ? sarah : no , not since he went to go look for nicole and holly . so he 's just out there looking for them . nicole : i 'm sure that 's hard for you . sarah : yeah . kayla : well , i 'll get this to the lab . sarah : no , no , i can do it . kayla : are you sure ? sarah : yeah , it 's on my way . kayla : okay . well , listen , you know , i just -- i just want you to know that i am available to talk about eric or anything , any time , all right ? sarah : i appreciate that . kayla : yeah , okay . see you later . [ tense music ] sarah : kayla ? kayla : um , yeah ? sarah : i think i 'm pregnant . nicole : kristen knew that no one would challenge a grieving mother , no matter how bizarrely she behaved . eric : it 's true , because she used holly 's death as an excuse for everything . nicole : but she did n't just use holly against you or the people in salem who loved her . she used my daughter against me , too . eric : what , did kristen threatened holly ? nicole : not directly , but she made it very clear that she would do anything to get what she wanted from me . eric : yeah , i wish i would have just seen this coming . i wish i would have seen behind the mask sooner . nicole : no , no , i -- i do n't blame you , eric . eric : i blame myself . i did n't listen to the part of my heart that knew that she was n't the woman that i love . nicole : she fooled me , too . the first time i saw kristen in that mask , i thought i was looking in a mirror . eric : yeah , well , thank god john figured it out . i mean , he unmasked her in front of everybody . even brady had to face who she really was . brady : look , i made a mistake a long time ago when i fell for kristen . but i wanted to save her , ciara . thought i could . much in the same way you probably feel like you can save ben . ciara : ben does n't need to be saved , okay , brady ? and since when do you think that you know so much about me and ben ? i mean it 's not like you and i have talked much recently , you know ? brady : i realize that . i know that . i want to change that . i really do . i would love to be closer to you . ciara : yeah , okay , well , we 're not gon na get closer if you keep badmouthing my boyfriend . look , he is a good person , and he is very , very important to me . what , what , brady ? what 's with the look ? brady : it 's just that the one thing i learned from kristen dimera is that people -- they just do n't change . ciara : so you 're saying that you were finished with kristen a long time ago ? brady : yeah , yeah i was . ciara : mm - hmm . except for -- i heard that you were just with her again last week . yeah . brady : did you hear that ? well , that 's because i did n't even -- i did n't know it was her , ciara . i thought it was nicole . ciara : of course . yeah . brady : i know how it sounds . trust me , it 's crazy . ciara : it 's just that , well , i 'm assuming that you guys were , like , together- together ? brady : yes . we were . ciara : yeah . okay , so you were intimate with a woman that you used to love without realizing that she was actually another woman that you used to love ? brady : you got it . i mean what is your point here ? ciara : nothing , nothing . it 's just -- it 's interesting . brady : interesting . ciara : that 's all . brady : ciara , i know where you 're going with this . you 're suggesting that i probably knew it was kristen the whole time . ciara : yeah . brady : kristen said the same thing to me . she made the same case . i did n't know . i honestly did not know . you have to understand that this family -- the dimeras -- they can be ruthless . utterly ruthless when they want to be . they are not like us . ben : i 'm not walking away from ciara . i love her . victor : you may have convinced my granddaughter that you 're a reformed man . you 're harmless . but i know better . ben : victor , you do n't know me at all . victor : i 've had quite a few dealings with your father . ben : i 'm nothing like my father . victor : oh , i would n't be too sure about that . as your sister recently proved , the weston family tree is full of rot , as are the apples that fall from it . ben : how can i prove to you ? how can i prove to you that i would never hurt ciara ? victor : you ca n't , because i 'd never believe it . ben : what do you want , huh ? what do you want ? xander : this must bring back memories , eh ? victor : let me make myself even clearer . you 're going to break up with ciara , or my nephew here is going to break your neck . victor : well , what 's your answer , ben ? you think this is funny ? ben : i do . xander : shut your face ! ben : i 'm sorry , fellows . it 's just that you 're not gon na kill me , victor . xander : oh , i would n't be too sure about that , mate . ben : you hear that ? see , i 'd expect that of him . a big , dumb thug . but you 're smarter than that , victor . you know you ca n't trust this weasel , because he 'd do your bidding , and then he 'd hold it over your head forever . xander : i tried to warn you . ben : so why do n't we just skip all the theatrics , and you untie me , gramps ? before you do something that everybody 's gon na regret . victor : now who you calling gramps ? sarah : i just -- i 've been nauseated for a few days . and at first , i just thought it was stress , you know , from everything with kristen and nicole . kayla : are you sure it 's not ? sarah : well , xander made this offhand comment about me being pregnant , and i really did n't think anything of it . and then later , i was checking my calendar , and i definitely missed my period . kayla : so the father is rex ? sarah : no , the timing does n't add up , so it has to be eric 's . but he 's out finding the love of his life , and -- kayla : okay , okay , slow down . let 's not get ahead of ourselves , okay ? sarah : it 's just , like , this -- the timing could n't be worse . kayla : i know , i know . but you know what ? do n't start making assumptions until we can confirm that you actually are pregnant , okay ? you have been under a lot of stress , and that does cause people to miss their periods . sarah : okay . kayla : want me to go to the lab ? i 'll take it . sarah : thank you . i do n't -- i 'm so sorry for just laying this all on you . kayla : no , it 's okay , really . i mean it , anytime . sarah : i appreciate your discretion . kayla : of course . it 's just between you and me . sarah : maybe it 's a false alarm . it 's just with eric finding nicole ... i mean , the last thing any of us need is for me to be pregnant with his baby . eric : hey , so is everything okay with holly ? nicole : yeah . believe it or not , she fell asleep . eric : really ? nicole : yeah , right on top of a huge pile of stuffed animals . it 's probably the excitement of you being here and the news about going home . it just wiped her out . eric : i know the feeling . it 's been quite a ride . nicole : eric , i am so glad you 're here . but i am so angry for what kristen put you through . eric : it 's not as bad as what she put you through . i wish i just would have seen through it . i 'm sorry i didn't . nicole : she did everything she could to keep you from getting too close . but i ca n't help but think about brady . eric : what about him ? nicole : her goal was to get close to him . eric : and she did . nicole : how close ? eric : brady slept with her . brady : all right , ciara . i ca n't explain why i -- i did n't see through kristen 's plan . ciara : you do n't have to explain , okay ? i get it . i get what it 's like to find the good in someone , even though they 've done horrible , horrible things . brady : well , i 'm not defending kristen , at all . ciara : you do n't have to . i see it , brady . i see it in your eyes . a part of you still loves her . brady : no , you -- ciara , you ca n't love somebody -- ciara : no , no , no , see ? brady : you ca n't love -- ciara : that sounds a lot like your brain talking , okay ? and can you actually look me in the eye and tell me that , if it were possible , you would n't want one more chance with kristen ? brady : what are we talking about me for ? we 're not supposed to be talking about me . we 're supposed to be talking about you and this wonderful offer that i 'm giving you with titan , ciara . ciara : okay . well , if this job offer is contingent on me breaking up with ben , then you can forget it , okay ? i will not give up the man that i love . not for anything . victor : xander . ben : [ gasps ] victor : i 'll ask you one more time , mr . weston . are you going to do as i ask ? ben : hell no . i 'm gon na love ciara until the day i die . victor : well , then i 'm afraid that day is today . tremfya ® helps adults with moderate nicole : i do n't believe it . brady slept with kristen ? are you sure he still believed it was me ? eric : that 's what he says . although i know that if i would have gotten that close to you , i would have known that was n't you . nicole : because you love me . eric : and i always will , and none of that matters now . all that i care about is getting you and holly home where you belong . nicole : home . that word never sounded so good . [ laughter ] eric : i know so many people who are dying to see that little girl alive and well . especially maggie , and -- nicole : what ? eric , what is it ? eric : before we go back to salem , there 's something that you need to know . kayla : well , here you go . sarah : this is -- kayla : yep . sarah : already ? kayla : well , that 's one of the perks of being chief of staff . i get the office with the most natural light , and i can put a rush on orders . sarah : you ? kayla : no , no . i did n't look at it . i think that you should see it first . sarah : thank you . kayla : but i can certainly stay here if you need me to while you open it . sarah : no , i think i should do it alone . kayla : okay , well , you know where to find me if you need me . sarah : thank you . kayla : well , like i said before , i 'm here for you . no matter what , all right ? okay . [ dramatic music ] brady : look , you are free to make whatever personal choices you want in your life . i just want you a member of my team on titan . period , that 's it . ciara : so then , you 're okay with me dating ben ? brady : i did n't say i was okay with it , but the job offer is not contingent on you leaving your man . ciara : then i will hold you to your word , and i will consider your job offer . brady : yes , good . that 's all i want . that 's all i 'm asking for . i think if you apply yourself , you 're gon na be great . ciara : oh , brady . wait a second . kayla said that when we found julie in the park that ben saved her life . brady : is that right ? ciara : mm - hmm . just like he saved mine in the fire . i hope that that can show you and the rest of the family the kind of guy that ben really is . victor : ironic , is n't it ? the necktie killer being done in by his own weapon of choice . ben : [ coughs ] victor : what the hell are you doing ? xander : i told sarah i 'm a changed man . victor : so ? xander : you know i 'm always down to rough somebody up , but i ca n't kill anybody . at least , not right now . victor : you ca n't even do this right . you are pathetic . xander : i 'm just trying to be the kind of man sarah could be with . victor : as if she 'd give you the time of day . give me that thing . i 'll do it myself . kate : what are we doing here in a graveyard ? we 're supposed to be at dimera signing paperwork . vivian : yes , indeed . i did find that proposal you made about us partnering up to run the company very tempting . kate : so you 're turning down my offer ? vivian : well , it was hard , because , you know , that -- that talk you gave about , `` let 's topple the patriarchal system `` was really inspirational . however , you are the last badass bitch i would ever want to partner with . excuse me . could i ask you to just step a little to your left ? kate : what the hell is this ? vivian : bad news for you . good news for me . kate : vivian , you ca n't really think that you 're gon na -- that you 're going to do the same thing to me that you did to carly manning ? that you tried to do to maggie horton ? vivian : oh , i 'm sorry . whatever are you talking about ? kate : vivian , please do n't do this . don't . do n't bury me alive . vivian : who said anything about alive ?

norman : so how 'd you feel about our session today ? carly : oh , it was okay , i guess . norman : all right , that sounds a little evasive . carly : well , 'cause maybe it is , because i 'm so sick of talking about my feelings . norman : that 's because you do n't like doing anything that you 're not good at . carly : i 'm not a -- i 'm not a feeling kind of girl . i 'm a science geek . just the facts , ma'am . norman : mm - hmm . liar . carly : oh , no , i was the queen of the science fairs . i was like the venus williams of the science fairs . norman : no , i mean you 're lying about not being fond of feelings . carly : mm . norman : you 're a very compassionate , deep - feeling woman . carly -- carly : i think you can ask the staff at university hospital and they 'd tell you something different . norman : yeah , i think i could ask your children , and they 'd say i 'm right on the money . carly : and look what i put them through . real life is too complicated , okay ? i like the o.r . no feelings in there . norman : carly , i want you to think about something . i - i get what you 're saying about having to compartmentalize to be able to go into the o.r . and get the job done . but that does n't mean that you do n't feel for your patients . being married to lawrence , you had to compartmentalize just to get through the day . i think maybe you got too good at it . carly : so when i lost bo and i was attracted to daniel , those little pills were just helping me not to feel . norman : by george , i think you 've got it . carly : she can be taught . norman : [ laughs ] so the next step in this process is to wade back into the world of feeling a little bit . but we 're gon na start with some pretty positive , straightforward emotions . carly : how do we do that ? norman : well , i 'm giving you a hall pass . you get to go out for lunch . carly : you want me to explore my feelings about tuna salad ? melanie : i like tuna salad . nicholas : tuna salad ? you like tuna salad ? and here i have turkey on rye . norman : meet your lunch companions . carly : thank you . norman : hey . enjoy . lexie : who did this to you , chloe ?

that never happens . hope : i did n't say anything because maybe it does n't mean anything . but remember when the department said there was n't enough in the budget to go after this guy early on ? bo : yeah . if we had gone after him , chloe would n't be in the hospital right now . hope : anyway , i kind of did a little poking around myself . bo : all by yourself ? hope : mm - hmm . bo : you not following department policy ? hope : stop . i checked out the alley , and guess who i bumped into . chloe . bo : when was this ? hope : about a week ago . she said she was on her way to a music class , had gotten lost . bo : yeah , right . and ? hope : well , i just -- something felt a little off , just did n't seem right . but then again , maybe it 's just me making something out of nothing . maybe the perp was n't targeting chloe . maybe she just wandered into his territory for whatever reason , and she surprised him . bo : yeah . and he got sloppy and made a mistake . hope : mm - hmm . exactly . larry : forensics is on the way . bo : okay , thanks , man . have them check out this indentation in the wood here . check it for foreign materials that might be embedded in it . larry : sure thing . hope : it might help us i.d . the weapon . bo : what would really help is if chloe woke up , told us what the hell happened here . brady : yeah , attagirl . squeeze my hand , come on , chloe . come on , squeeze my hand . come back to us . atta -- come on . you 're doing great . honey , squeeze my hand again . do it . maxine : what happened ? brady : i was talking to her about parker , and she squeezed my hand . she squeezed it really , really hard . well ? what do you think ? maxine : well , there 's no real change , except an elevated heart rate . you know , it might have just been a reflex . brady : no . hey , no . i was talking to her about her baby , and she squeezed my hand . she was responding to what i was saying . maxine : i believe you . i believe that she can hear you . because she did squeeze your hand when you talked about her son , but ... it 's a good sign . it 's a beginning . brady : then she could recover , and she could wake up . maxine : i ca n't say that , but i -- i think it 's a very good thing that you 're here . sami : i just could n't stand it , you know ? i got the message from lexie , and i just could n't stand the fact that some lab tech knew and i did n't . i could n't wait for lexie to finish her rounds . rafe : right . sami : i mean , i know you do n't understand , i know you think i 'm crazy , but i just had to know . i had to know if i have cancer or not . rafe : i get it . sami : you do ? you 're not mad ? rafe : no . actually , i 'm kind of relieved . sami : relieved ? rafe : yeah . you breaking into someone 's office and hacking into their computer -- how did you do that , by the way ?

sonny : you know , this was much easier before i went to paris . oh , you 've gotten so big . gabi : yeah , she does tend to keep growing . sonny : yeah , but now i can see it happening again . i missed so much . but i 'm home for good . okay , ari ? [ gabi laughs ] sonny : okay ? she 's ignoring her daddy . [ gabi laughs ] sonny : oh , and gabi , you 've got to put me on the top of your babysitting list . i mean it . i mean , if you and jj ever want -- gabi : jj 's no jj 's not here , okay ? i do n't know where he is . sonny : what 's going on ? gabi : nothing . you know ... one call . one call is all i 've gotten since he took off to miami . sonny : well , i mean , he 's looking into the plane crash . he 's worried sick about his sister . i 'm sure he 's going through a tough time emotionally . gabi : oh , i get that , but why does n't he call somebody that cares ? somebody that can talk to him to help him get through that ? julie : jennifer , you said to remind you that -- oh , my god , jj ! jj : hey , julie . julie : welcome home , kiddo . well , i had no idea that you were coming in . why did n't you give us a call ? jj : i just -- i did n't know when i was gon na get a flight . [ julie sighs ] jj : i was on standby . julie : your mother will be so glad , so thrilled that you 're back . well , everybody 's going to be . jj : yeah , i do n't know about everybody . gabi 's last text -- she 's really ticked off i did n't stay in touch the way i should 've . julie : jj , if that girl does not understand what you 've been going through with your family , you should drop her . maggie : wait . back up . deimos actually said he wanted us to move in with him ? victor : well , if we move into the east wing , we 'll be by ourselves over there for the most part . there 'll be plenty of room for you to do your rehab , keep all the equipment over there until you get stronger . maggie : victor , you know i 've always tried to stay positive , and i 've always hoped that you and your brother could come to some kind of common ground , but this gesture is -- victor : i know . it 's over the top . he knows it too . in fact , he made some lame joke about keeping your enemies closer . [ phone rings ] maggie : but what ? [ phone continues ringing ] victor : speak of the devil . what can i do for you , deimos ? deimos : i need to see you , immediately . chad : thanks for coming , kate . kate : my pleasure . you know , when i was coming up the drive , i saw lucas and adrienne pushing thomas in his stroller . do they come by often ? chad : yeah , well , jennifer and i thought it would be best if thomas had as much family around as possible , so they decided that they 're actually gon na stay here for a little while . kate : mm , till your life gets back to what it should be ? chad : jennifer 's too . kate : right . you know , i ca n't speak for adrienne , but i can certainly say that lucas will really do a good job with that little boy , and he 's gon na enjoy every minute of it . chad : that 's good , 'cause i could use all the help i can get , and i trust him . kate : of course you can trust him . chad : i 'm also gon na need another kind of help ... from you . maggie : what did he want ? victor : a meeting . it sounded serious . maggie : let me guess . he wants to renege on his offer ? victor : no , no . you know , i 'm not sure of much of what deimos says , but the offer he made was sincere . maggie : well , i 'm glad that you 're trying to work things out with him . and maybe we will be able to put the past where it belongs . victor : maybe . but all i care about right now is you and whatever you need to get you back on your feet again . maggie : then let me tell you what i wo n't need . i wo n't need a warm and fuzzy scene with deimos , or some lovely rooms in what used to be our east wing . all i need is you . kate : you want my help with what ? chad : okay ... dimera enterprises is in shambles . we have companies all over the world . kate : yeah , i know . chad : and most of them are , you could say , like , borderline - legal , especially the ones in asia . kate : [ laughs ] i remember . chad : and i want them all above board immediately . streamlined , more efficient . like , i 'm talking making a lot of changes . a lot of changes . big changes that are n't gon na be easy . kate : no , it 's not going to be easy , especially given the way that stefano stacked the board . chad : mm . but aside from all of the borderline - legal companies , i 've got shell companies , unregistered companies , double - registered companies . i 've got losers -- more than i 'd like to admit -- i 've got winners -- some that are actually pretty solid . but the kicker is all of them have completely different bookkeeping systems . kate : yes , because stefano thought confusion was the best cover . you keep the governments guessing . chad : that 's over , starting now . see , if i 'm gon na make dimera enterprises great again , i need experts . and i also need somebody -- you -- in charge of those experts , who knows what they 're doing . kate : tell me something . rebuilding dimera enterprises ... is that somehow your way of honoring your father 's legacy ? chad : no , no . this has nothing to do with him . see , i promised abby that i was going to build a life for thomas based on trust and honesty , and it 's a promise that i want to keep . i want to be the father that thomas needs , right ? the father that -- kate : that you never had . chad : yeah . now , stefano dimera was n't necessarily one of the good guys , but what he was good at was teaching me how to love family . and that is what i 'm gon na do for thomas . kate : [ scoffs ] all right . chad : does that mean that you 're gon na help ? laura : [ scoffs ] big mistake asking kate roberts for anything . you 're not sold on gabi . julie : well , she killed nick . somehow , she got out of prison early , and now she 's causing you trouble . jj : no , this is on me . i went down to miami , and i got caught in my own world down there trying to find out what happened . julie : of course . jj : i should have contacted her more . and i should 've at least told her face- to - face that i was leaving . julie : whatever , whatever , darling , just please call your mother and tell her you 're back . jj : i will right now . texting her . julie : i 'm so glad you 're home . jj : me too . julie : car keys ! jj : thank you . julie : [ sighs ] gabi hernandez ... sonny : twice a week ! wow , she 'll be a ballerina in no time . gabi : you would n't say that if you stayed and watched the class . the teacher just lets them do what they want , and then she calls it ballet . but it 's fun , and arianna loves it . sonny : well , that 's all that counts . gabi : yeah . you know what ? i wanted to ... apologize . i came off a bit harsh earlier . i 'm sorry . sonny : no , you were just upset . gabi : yeah . yeah , i still am . but you were trying to make me feel better , so i 'm sorry . sonny : forget it . gabi : hey , i know that jj 's your cousin , and you really like him , but , you know , it 's not your job to fix things . that 's all on him . and he can just be so -- you know , whatever . i 'm gon na go get something at the drugstore before arianna 's class ends . sonny : you know , i need to say something , okay ? gabi : yeah . sonny : i think the reason you were so upset is because jj means so much to you . gabi : yeah . i just do n't know how much i mean to him . laura : your butler said that you were back here and that i should come ahead . chad : yeah , that 's fine . laura : well , obviously , i did n't know that you 'd be with the likes of -- chad , this woman is not anyone you turn to for help . kate : laura , this woman happens to be very close to chad , and has known him for years . laura : right . ever since you married his father , the old spider himself , which hardly makes you anyone that someone should trust . chad : laura , is there something that you need ? lucas and adrienne have thomas right now . laura : that 's wonderful . let me tell you what i need . i need you to think long and hard before you allow kate to be involved in my great grandson 's life . chad : okay , kate loves thomas , and she would never do anything to hurt him . look , i do n't know what 's going on here , but maybe we should just take a step back . kate : yeah . why do n't you take a step back where you came from ? laura : young man , a person 's past says a lot about their future . someone who does n't hesitate to lie , to break the law , or to poison someone -- chad : okay , laura , will you stop ? now , i asked kate here because i was hoping that she would help me rebuild dimera enterprises for my son , for your great grandson . laura : [ laughs ] even though she once stole the corporation out from under your father ? this is not someone that you should be asking to help you . kate : laura , i 'm standing right here -- right here ! chad : you know what , laura , i really do n't appreciate you coming into my home and getting into it with kate , so maybe this is something that we should discuss later . laura : oh , i 'm so sorry . i should n't still be judging you for your past ... with my husband . or god knows how many other men during your escort days . no , let 's make this about thomas , chad , and about the kind of people that abigail would want around him . chad : no , i think i know what abby would want . laura : no , you do n't . not at all . in such good spirits , maggie . maggie : well , every day i get a little bit stronger , and that 's definitely something to be happy about . deimos : absolutely . did victor tell you about my offer ? maggie : yes . and i appreciate you being so generous , but we still need to think about it . deimos : of course . take as much time as you need . it 's a standing offer . victor , do you think maybe we can go down to the square , talk a bit ? victor : it 's up to maggie . maggie : oh , please go . julie 's coming by later , and we definitely do n't want the two of you listening in . victor : all right , then . deimos : again , great seeing you . maggie : yes . victor : after you . deimos : thanks . chad : now , abby would want me to make sure the company survives so i can provide a future for my son . laura : oh , i 'm sure you have all the right plans . like when you checked abigail into shady hills . you know , if she 'd gotten treatment almost anywhere else , she 'd be with us today , alive . kate : oh , how can you be so damn insensitive ? laura : obviously , you were misled about where abby would get the best care . no sense in dwelling on it now . besides , i promised jenn i 'd take a step back . kate : it 's a little late for that , is n't it ? laura : let me tell you something , chad . just so we 're clear . when my beautiful granddaughter told me how much she loved you , boy , i gave her quite an earful . i told her all about what your father had done to me , what your brother peter had done to her mother and her father . but , you know , my abigail -- she just stood right up to me . she flat - out said that you were n't like that . kate : because he 's not . laura : not yet . all this resurrecting of stefano 's legacy , and allowing his ex - wife into your head ... you 'll become your father , chad . chad : that 's not true . laura : you are on your way to becoming the man that stefano would be so proud of , not the man that abigail fell in love with . so , whatever choices you make , please proceed with caution . otherwise , i 'm afraid for the future . chad : i need some air . [ laura sighs ] chad : i 'll be in touch . kate : yes . a man is grieving . his life is shattered , and he 's trying to find a way to go on , and you are here to -- laura : to help . kate : [ laughs ] to help . well , if you think that 's what you just did , then you are crazy ! but that 's right , 'cause you are , are n't you ? you are crazy `` as a loon , `` i think the saying goes . poor abigail . then again , apple does n't fall very far from the tree , now , does it ? all the right plans . like when you checked abigail into shady hills . i mean , if she 'd gotten treatment anywhere else , she 'd be with us today , alive . you are on your way to becoming the man that stefano would be so proud of , not the man that abigail fell in love with . chad : hey . jj : hey . chad , i need to say something real quick . i 'm sorry for the way i left things before i went down to miami . chad : no -- wait -- look , neither one of us made the right moves that day with abby 's -- you know , the disappearance of the plane . jj : everybody deals the best they can , i guess . chad : that 's it . your mom said they did n't -- they did n't find ... jj : no . no trace . sometimes i feel like i 'm gon na open the door and she 's gon na be standing there . well , i was on my out , so take care . chad : wait , hold on . do you think that maybe we could start over ? abby would n't want us going at each other . i think that maybe we should give it a try , at least for thomas . jj : sounds good . deal . how about i swing by tomorrow and see my nephew ? chad : you got it . jj : i 'm gon na ... chad : all right . jj : go find gabi . you have n't seen her , have you ? chad : no , i have n't . but if i do , i will tell her to call you . jj : thank you . julie : sharing the mansion ? that is a big step . maggie : mm . julie : well , wanting to put the family back together again -- that 's commendable . do n't you think ? maggie : deimos does seem to be trying . julie : but you 're not buying it ? maggie : i 'm cautious . julie : well , victor is not stupid . he must think deimos ' offer is on the up- and - up , or he would 've said no by now . maggie : so , you think it 's a good idea ? julie : honey , my opinion does n't matter . only your opinion . i will say this : it 's a gargantuan mansion . i mean , there 's room for everybody there . maggie : [ laughs ] true . julie : and there 's something great about living with family . you know , doug and i , we are happy as clams to be with jj and jennifer . granted , we moved back because jennifer needed us . but still . maggie : family . julie : mm - hm . maggie : mm . yeah , no ... [ sighs ] it 's just that , except for deimos , there is no family . there 's no justin and no philip and no brady . julie : no , there 's victor and his brother . this would give them the chance to bond , a chance to heal all that pain . those two greek guys -- they 're pretty smart . they know it 's going to take a lot of goodwill glue to heal the crack in that relationship . and , my darling , the glue is you . victor : so , how 'd you get onto this ? deimos : a source . very reliable . victor : good , 'cause we 're gon na have to make this stick . deimos : oh , there 's no doubt about that . my source found out who titus drew sells to -- was n't sure if it was important . but for me , bells started going off immediately . victor : damn right . it 's the only person it could possibly be . damn it , it was staring us right in the face the whole time . deimos : we played right into this person 's hands . too busy pointing fingers at each other even to consider it . victor : like puppets on a string . this person wanted our situation to escalate . deimos : of course . so we 'd ultimately destroy each other . victor : son of a bitch . deimos : so , what do you think ? time to confront tate 's kidnapper ? victor : oh , definitely . i know just how we should go about it . [ cell door opens ] [ dark music ] jj : hey . gabi : you 're back . jj : yeah , i just landed a little while ago . i did n't text you . i figured i really screwed up saying good - bye on the phone , and i did n't want to do the same thing saying hello . gabi : okay . jj : can i try to explain why i could only call to say good - bye ? gabi : sure . you can also explain why you sounded like you 'd rather be doing anything besides talking to me . jj : no , that 's not true . just -- gabi , my head was so messed up , and i was going down to see if my sister -- let me start over . gabi : no , do n't bother , because i get it . you were upset . but i was too . i mean , do n't i count for anything ? jj : you count more than anything . gabi , listen . i want to fix this . can we at least try ? sonny : chad ? hey ! did you hear me ? chad : sonny ! sonny : you okay ? chad : yes . take a seat , man . sonny : [ grunts ] it 's kind of weird that we have to pay for coffee now . chad : yeah , right ? i actually have to carry around cash now , which is unfortunate . [ both laugh ] sonny : yeah , just like the good old days . chad : hey , hell of an article in the `` wall street journal . `` new kiriakis at titan moving on up . sonny : yep , i 'm learning . i was the big frog in a small pond over in europe , but corporate headquarters is a lot bigger . chad : meh . sonny : yeah , it is . chad : well , you know , you could always ... sonny : i could always what ? chad : well , you know , if you wanted to move up faster , you could always come and work for dimera enterprises . we could use you . sonny : thank you , but no . my uncle vic would have a stroke ... chad : no . sonny : if i ever worked for dimeras . remember when my dad did a side job for ej a while back ? chad : yeah , but that was when our families were enemies . and besides , i 'm taking dimera enterprises straight now . not that you would know anything about being straight . sonny : get out of here . get out of here . that is a good move though , making it legit . chad : yeah . sonny : but i think you and i should stay friends , skip the business . chad : all right . if you change your mind ... sonny : i hear you . listen , when i came in , i asked you if you were okay . you said fine , but i do n't believe you . chad : yeah , it 's -- it 's weird trying to imagine life without abby . sonny : mm - hm . chad : thomas was n't old enough to remember , but i do , and as short - lived as it was , we had , you know -- we had some pretty good times , so it 's just -- it 's an adjustment . umm .. i do n't know -- i guess you heard your mom and dad are moving into my place ? they 're gon na be keeping an eye on thomas . sonny : what ? chad : yeah . sonny : i -- no , i did not hear that . chad : well , we just decided a little bit ago . so , if your mom calls , would you please act surprised ? sonny : i will , yeah . yeah , yeah . that makes sense , though . i mean , my mom loved abigail like a daughter , so , she 'll be a great help . chad : yeah , definitely . sonny : you know , if you ever need anything , you can call me . i take calls from friends . chad : that 's kind of you . thank you . i do too . victor : just let me know if anything changes . otherwise , we 've got everything taken care of on this end . bye . deimos : all set ? victor : the kidnapper awaits . deimos : great . victor : you know , i 'm really going to enjoy this . deimos : that makes two of us , brother . [ dramatic music ] jj : see ... the thing is that i have a lot of issues when it comes to death . my dad , paige , and now abigail -- gabi : i know . look , i understand . i do n't know -- i just -- i wanted to be that person that you turn to , the person that helps you get through this , and instead you just shut me out . jj : it was n't like that . it was weird , gabi . i had to deal with it every day , but at the same time , i was doing things that would make me not think about it . i went on coast guard searches . i tracked the tides . i poured over all kinds of charts on currents . but every time i had to talk about it , i shut down . gabi : yeah , because then you 'd have to deal with it . jj : yeah . and i 'm sorry . i do n't know if it 's that i 'm just too messed up in the head , or it 's a guy thing , but that 's what happened . i 've missed you like crazy . gabi : i missed you too . you know , this -- this talk does not let you off the hook . jj : i get that . but i 'll do anything to make it right . you just have to tell me what . [ phone beeps ] gabi : i actually have to go , because arianna 's class is over . i have to walk over there . jj : can i walk with you ? gabi : i 'd like that . maggie : julie , i do n't think i 've ever heard you advocate for victor . julie : [ laughs ] no , no , i 'm just trying to lay out the possibilities for you . now , if deimos was sincere in his offer and victor 's okay with it , that 's fine . if you 're not okay with it , you 'd better speak up loud and clear right now , darling . maggie : i 'm just worried . i mean , what if it turns out that living in the same house makes things worse ? and what if they start fighting ? julie : oh , they probably will . but ... i remember when i was a little girl . uncle mickey and uncle bill fought all the time . and my mother would come in and referee , and ... even though they were fighting , it really did n't matter . yes , they pushed each other 's buttons , yes . they had terrible tempers . but in the end , that did n't count . not deep down . maggie : they loved each other . julie : yes , you bet they loved each other . i do n't think deimos and victor ever had a chance to learn what brotherly love really means . they could learn that . they might be quite a team . maggie : yeah . orpheus : so , we 're roommates now , hm ? clyde : looks that way , does n't it ? orpheus : well , that 's quite a coincidence . clyde : not exactly . i do have a little pull here . orpheus : and you picked me . what an honor . clyde : and i thought we could talk some more about salem . we have a mutual distaste for that zip code . orpheus : oh , i think i 've said enough . clyde : listen . i do n't like living like this . i am consumed with hate . some nights , i sleep real peaceful , you know ? i have happy dreams . then i wake up and then i ca n't think of anything but the loss and the grief and the hate . orpheus : sounds familiar . clyde : now , we spoke before about wanting to do something about it . so keep your eyes open . there may be a way . chad : kate , i 'm really sorry about that mess earlier with laura . you know , she can -- she can be kind of -- i do n't know -- you know her better than i do . but i 'm serious about what i said about wanting to turn the companies around . you know , i want to be able to do something for my son that 's -- that 's honest and good , and i ca n't do it without your help . it 'll work , you know ? and ... you know , it has to work . it 'll work . anyway , just let me know , okay ? [ dramatic music ] jj : but i can drive you to the airport . laura : oh , honey , it 's not a problem . the cab will be here at any minute . listen , i left a note for your mom on the desk . jj : okay . laura : and i ca n't tell you how great it is seeing both of you . although i did n't get much of a chance to spend time with you . jj : no . no , i was down there . it hurts too much to talk about . laura : they were positive ? jj : there may be some wreckage that might wash up somewhere , someday , but there were no bodies recovered . laura : sweetheart . i know how much that hurts for both of us -- for all of us .

[ laughs ] adrienne : honey . [ smooch ] i 'm so happy for you . this is the best news ... [ laughs ] sonny : i still ca n't believe it 's happening . adrienne : i know . sonny : like , honestly , it 's everything -- everything i 've been waiting for . and it 's like , this is the time . second chance to get it right . it 's all happening . [ somber music ] it 's just that -- it 's just -- the timing , the timing is -- adrienne : i know . i know . paul ... sonny : he 's such a good guy . adrienne : he is . sonny : i mean , he could 've died saving sami 's life , and he loves will so much . and will 's gon na have to , you know , break his heart . adrienne : i know , i know . my heart breaks for paul , and for will . when i had to tell lucas that i had chosen your father , it was the hardest thing i ever had to do . sonny : but you made the right decision . adrienne : so did will . [ smooch ] i got ta see if there 's any hot water left for ari 's bath . that susan banks is obsessed with bubble baths , i swear . sonny : she 's gon na be gone in a couple days . i promise . adrienne : yeah , well , i have the high hopes for bonnie as well . i swear , i will sleep a lot easier when that trash is behind bars and not hurting our family ever again . bonnie : well , adrienne already raked me over the coals . should 've known you 'd want to take your bite too , since i pretty much nearly stole your precious victor right away from you . maggie : oh , please . you and your knee - squeezing , your melons . you were never a threat to my marriage . bonnie : but me and my melons -- we made you nervous , did n't we ? maggie : hardly . victor and i laughed about you and got rid of you , and now here you are , going back to statesville where you belong . bonnie : fine . you 're not here to give me what for about victor ? then why are you here ? maggie : lucas , and the hell you put him through . [ phone trilling ] chloe : oh , good lord , it 's julie again . lucas : oh . chloe : i 'll be right back . [ smooch ] yes , julie , what now ? will : wow , that looked nice . lucas : yeah , yeah , it is nice . will : is it serious ? lucas : it 's nice . it 's nice . chloe 's the calm in the middle of the every storm -- even this one . so , what about you ? did you get any sleep last night ? will : it was kinda hard to in this place . i 'm , like , in between paul 's room and grandma 's room and the waiting . lucas : yeah , boy , your mother -- your mother has done some outrageous things , but this takes the cake . will : this is on kristen , though . she wanted grandma dead , and john . and she would 've killed mom if it were n't for paul . lucas : [ sighs ] he 's got a hell of a heart . he does . no wonder you love him . will : i do love him , dad , but ... lucas : but what ? come on , you can talk to me . like you said , i 'm your dad , even if you do n't remember . will : like , when i was younger , and we used to play `` airplane , `` or that one time when you , mom , and i went camping and there was maybe a snake that might 've maybe allegedly gotten into your tent . lucas : yeah , because you put it there . you knew you put it there . wait a minute . you remember ? will : yeah , everything . lucas : you remember everything ? will : [ sniffs ] bonnie : all i did to lucas was exactly what angelica told me to do . i was a pawn . i was practically a victim here . maggie : you were never a victim . you were an accomplice . bonnie : i am truly sorry for what i did to lucas . and if i had n't been on the run , i 'd have done everything in my power to -- what is it you people call it ? make amends . 'cause i will never , for the life of me , understand why adrienne could dump such a sweet person . and the boy is smoking hot . maggie : do n't you dare pretend to care about lucas . you nearly destroyed him ! bonnie : but i did n't want to . i mean , come on , he was just collateral damage . and how many times do i have to say it ? i am so sorry for what i did . i am not that woman anymore . i swear to you ! maggie : the hell you are n't ! bonnie : you know what ? you just believe what you want , all right ? but if you can convince lucas to come and see me , i will tell him face to face just how sorry i really am . lucas : you remember everything ? how ? when ? why 'd you wait to tell me ? why did n't you tell me right away ? will : it just happened . i was at the wedding . it was at grandma 's wedding . i was giving a speech then all of a sudden i just started having these memories and everything came flooding back , including how much i love you . lucas : how much you love me ? what about how much i love you , man ? i do n't care if you 're the old will or any kind of will , you 're my will . that 's the only thing that matters . did you tell your mom ? does she know ? will : no , not yet . i told eric , i told brady , and sonny . lucas : oh , you told sonny ? what does that mean ? does that mean you remember loving him ? will : i feel it -- loving him , and being in love with him , but present tense . lucas : ah , okay , i got it . that 's why you 're hesitant about paul . will : yeah . sonny and i wan na be together . we wan na be a family with ari . but i mean , i -- you know , i did n't get a chance to tell paul and now he 's in a hospital bed . how do i say , `` hey , you know , thanks for saving my mom 's life and also , by the way , like , i 'm leaving you `` ? brady thinks i 'm a monster . lucas : [ sighs ] come on , stop . will : i 'm thinking maybe he 's right . john : i have n't stopped praying since doc got shot . but i 'm beginning to wonder ... [ scoffs ] if god is even listening to me . eric : he is . do n't ever doubt that . john : you 're right . this is the time we need our faith the most . somehow i have a feeling that he may listen to you a little bit more . eric : dear heavenly father , we come to you together with heavy hearts . sonny : the day that paul and i were supposed to get married , bonnie was a hell of a lot more interested in uncle vic than she was her son 's big day . adrienne : mm . sonny : which is so not you . i should 've known something was wrong . adrienne : how you missed me ? sonny : very funny. > > nn honey , honey . you need to go back to the hospital . you need to be with will . come on . sonny : i would love to be with him , but he wants to do this on his own . th as ... [ sighs ] as hard as this is gon na be , will 's gon na find the right words . he 's gon na let paul down gently . will : i do love paul , but i am in love with sonny . but paul did this amazing thing . i mean , he saved mom 's life , so i feel like maybe -- do i owe him ? do i have an obligation to stay with him ? lucas : i do n't think that 's gon na work , really . will : not so much ? lucas : no , not at all . look , i 've been where paul is . as much as i loved adrienne , i would not want her to stay with me because she felt obligated to . it would n't have worked . she 's in love with justin . and i knew that . you know , i really did , and ... i mean , i would n't want her to be with me if her heart was n't in it , you know ? it would n't have worked . will : yeah . so ... [ clears throat ] honesty ? lucas : yeah . yeah , that 's the best thing . i mean , it 's gon na be hard for paul at first , especially in the beginning , but i mean , do you really think the guy 'd want you to stay with him if you were n't fully committed ? belle : [ sighs ] [ monitor beeping ] hey . you know , dad 's really proud of you . of course he 's all kinds of proud of you without you going out a third - story window . like father like son , i guess . you have such a good heart , and just so much courage . and if anyone should be lying in this bed , it should be sami . you know , this is all her fault . mother is on a ventilator , clinging to life because of my selfish , out - of - control sister . and now we 're gon na be buried in all of this paperwork . it 's a good thing there 's a lawyer in the family , right ? [ dramatic music ] oh , my god . will : [ sighs ] you 're right . of course . i should be honest with paul . lucas : yeah , you should . you want some more fatherly advice ? follow your heart . follow your heart . it 'll never let you down . will : you make it sound easy . lucas : it 's not . it 's the hardest thing to do . will : [ laughs ] lucas : it 's so hard . believe me , if i would 've done that , i would 've followed my heart from the very beginning and realized something was going on with adrienne and maybe i would 've figured out that it was n't adrienne after all , but bonnie lockhart . bonnie : hey , hey , hey ! [ scoffs ] oh , god . i 'm not trying to escape here . how stupid do you think i am ? no , look , i 'm just trying to take a peek . are you sure there 's nobody here to see me ? cop : looks like you 're out of luck . bonnie : oh , damn . you would n't happen to have a cell phone i could just borrow -- cop : no . bonnie : yeah , of course not . [ door slams ] come on . where are you ? ugh ! please , please . please , you 've got ta come through for me . come on , baby . maggie : how are marlena and paul ? chloe : oh , i just spoke to brady . marlena 's suffering from septic shock . she 's on a ventilator . maggie : oh no . lucas : this can not be happening . maggie : and paul , please -- tell me his outlook is brighter . lucas : i think will went to check on him , but i think he made it through surgery , so ... maggie : oh , i 'm glad to hear that . lucas : you know what ? maybe i should go check on marlena now . maggie : ah -- lucas , listen . before you go , i just came from seeing bonnie lockhart at the salem pd . lucas : bonnie lockhart ? why ? chloe : why would you put yourself through seeing that woman ? maggie : because i wanted her to own what she did to you , to understand that her actions led you to drink again . lucas : maggie , i can take responsibility for my own behavior . it 's not her fault . it 's my own fault . maggie : bonnie says she regrets hurting you , and she insists you -- wants to apologize in person . chloe : yeah , right . maggie : i told her i would relay the message , but i think you should keep your distance from that one . lucas : well , you know , if she wants to make amends , maybe i should listen to her . maybe it 'll do me good as well as her . maggie : i do n't know . it 's not as if that woman has a conscience . chloe : do you want me to go with you ? lucas : no , no . i 'll be fine . i 'll just handle this really quick . i 'll go alone . just ... [ smooch ] tell will i 'll be back later . chloe : okay . maggie : hey . bye . oh . belle : this ca n't be . will : hey . how 's paul ? belle : see for yourself . will : do you mind if i -- can i sit with him ? belle : yeah -- you know what ? i 'd really appreciate that . i , uh , i need to go and see my mom . will : okay . belle : see you later . will : yeah , sure , of course . [ soft dramatic music ] john : we 've cheated death more times than i could even count , and now we 're down to this -- damn machine keeping her alive . [ sighs ] so help us . it just breaks my heart . eric : we just have to believe that our prayers will be answered . brady : right , i mean , dad , when they are , it might help if you , you know , cleaned yourself up a little bit . john : i 'm fine . dad , seriously . kayla said you could use the on - call room , get a nice shower ... eric : yeah . brady : shave , come on . john : [ sniffs ] kids , i just -- i just do n't wan na leave her . eric : you know what ? she wo n't be alone . you know what ? i 'm gon na be right here with her . come on . john : okay . eric : [ sighs ] mom , you got ta come back to us . you got ta come back . [ door creaks ] hey . belle : any changes ? eric : no , i 'm afraid not . but , you know , brady was able to convince john to get cleaned up . belle : i ca n't believe that she was -- she was awake and talking yesterday . do you know when the specialist is gon na be here ? would you mind checking for me ? eric : yeah , i can make a call . belle : okay , thanks . eric : i 'll be right back . belle : okay . [ smooch ] [ sniffs ] [ sighs ] there 's so many things that i wish we would 've talked about . [ sniffs ] i just hope there 's still time . depression is not just sadness . adrienne : want me to have -- cooked me some breakfast ? or better yet , let me make you your favorite -- french toast with brioche and blueberries . sonny : thank you , but i 'm just -- i 'm just gon na wait . adrienne : mm , and fret , and worry . sonny : you know me very well , do n't you ? adrienne : well , i do know my son , and i love you so very much . and i 'm so happy for you and will . but if you do n't need my mad breakfast skills , i think i better go to work , get to `` the spectator . `` there 's a lot of news to tell , you know , with crazy kristen dimera on the loose . sonny : yeah , huh ? at least one crazy 's been caught . adrienne : did i tell you ? can you believe that bonnie actually had the gall to ask me to help her escape , and that i should be grateful ? like she had anything to do with your father and me reconciling . sonny : yeah , well , she was definitely responsible for lucas drinking again , and you being in the hell of statesville for months . adrienne : well , it 's all about justice now , is n't it ? and karma . and i just hope karma bites bonnie so hard , she 's out of our lives for good . [ giggles ] bonnie : [ sighs ] where are you ? cop : might be your lucky day after all . bonnie : finally ! uh , what are you doing here ? lucas : maggie said you wanted to see me . bonnie : yeah , but i did n't think you 'd actually come . lucas : well , i 'm here , bonnie , so you might as well say what you have to say . bonnie : boy , you are as fine as the last time i saw you . lucas : oh , this is gon na be fun , is n't it ? except for this time i 'm not falling down drunk , am i ? bonnie : and i 'm sorry about that . lucas : it 's all right . i 'm sober now . i 'm stronger than i 've ever been thanks to the help of my friends and my family . bonnie : and that higher power , right ? any chance that higher power might just ... [ sighs ] nudge you into forgiving me ? lucas : being able to forgive those who have wronged us is part of my recovery , so yes , i forgive you . bonnie : you mean it ? lucas : yeah . yes , i mean it . bonnie : i am so glad to hear you say that . phew . 'cause i really need your help . [ monitor beeping ] will : you are one crazy , brave man . so kind . so generous . so loving . i hope you -- you know how much you mean to me . paul : will ? will : hey . hey , hey , you . paul : [ groans softly ] where am i ? will : you , um , you 're at the hospital . you just had surgery . how do you feel ? paul : [ winces ] like i -- i fell out a window . will : yeah , well , even a superhero like you ca n't fly , i guess . paul : sami -- is she okay ? will : she 's alive , yeah , thanks to you . brady told me everything . paul : hey , he probably exaggerated . it was no big deal . will : you risked your life to save my mom , so it is a big deal . paul : well , she 's the mother of the man that i love . will : you know , there 's so many people who are gon na be so happy to hear that you 're awake , so i 'm gon na go . i 'm gon na go let them know . paul : do n't go . it helps to have you here . will : you okay ? paul : yeah , just -- i 'm just trying to remember everything that happened . it 's all kinda hazy . will : what -- what do you remember ? paul : uh , i love you . and that you had something very important that you wanted to tell me . what is it ? [ somber dramatic music ] lucas : you want my help ? bonnie : [ scoffs ] i 'm not nearly as guilty of some things as people think i am , truly . the idea of going back to statesville with time tacked on ? i can not do it . i ca n't do it . and i was just hoping -- i was just hoping that maybe you could help me . lucas : and that 's why you apologized ? you 're trying to rope me into helping you ? bonnie : uh , no , not really . lucas : you know , it 's one thing to accept an apology . but why in the hell would you ever think i would help you stay out of prison ? bonnie : because i 'm the mother of your child . lucas : [ scoffs ] adrienne : really , enough about bonnie . let 's focus on the good things . let 's focus on the happy things , like you and will and ari being a family again . sonny : i know . i just wish that i could do that without breaking paul 's heart . and the last thing i want is for him to get hurt . will : you know what ? you just got out of surgery , so i think it can wait . paul : i 'm fine . whatever it -- whatever it is , lay it on me . will : okay . it 's good news , actually . i got my memory back . [ soft dramatic music ] paul : [ laughs softly ] oh , my god . that 's amazing . will : yeah . paul : how did that happen ? when ? will : at the wedding , actually . during my speech , i had one memory , and then i had more , and then they all just kinda came rushing back . it freaked me out . paul : that 's -- that 's why you left . will : yeah , it was -- it was a lot to process . and i wanted to tell you then , but , you know , grandma got shot , and then you had to run off and be a hero , so , you know , there was n't really a great time to break the news . paul : people , um -- people usually do n't `` break `` good news . will : oh ... [ laughs ] it just -- yeah . figure of speech . paul : so you remember loving sonny now , do n't you ? will : yes , i do . i remember my life with sonny . i remember how much i loved him . paul : so , what does that mean for us ? belle : it was n't supposed to be like this . [ door creaks ] [ sniffs ] eric : hey . the specialist was delayed . thank god valerie got that ventilator on mom when she did . you know , it buys us time . lets the doctors do everything humanly possible to keep her alive . belle : that 's the problem . we ca n't let them do that ...

qñ oor jack : [ laughing ] i 'm not going anywhere . you and your mommy and i are going to be together for the rest of our natural lives . abby : does this mean i ca n't go off to college or have an apartment of my own like belle ?

jack : well ... jennifer : that 's what i 'd like to know . rex : look , i really need your help finding a way to get along with the guy . belle : i do n't know why you decided to become his roommate . rex : shawn and i were okay when we were roommates at hartley house . i mean , we were friends -- until i caught him hacking into my computer files . belle : you know why he did that . rex : yeah , because he has some crazy idea that i attacked his parents . well , i didn't . okay ? i swear it . look , you 're my sister , belle . you have to make shawn understand that i 'd never hurt anyone . belle : i do n't know , rex . rex : i mean , if someone were to attack our mother , i 'd probably be just as -- belle : do n't even talk about someone attacking mom . rex : god , i wish she were here to help settle this . belle : she 's not , though . she 's in colorado visiting eric , so we 're all on our own . rex : right . and you 're the next best thing . you have the same goodness . you know ? i mean , you 're able to see things from different points of view . that 's why i 'm coming to you . belle : [ sighs ] rex : you believe me , do n't you ? belle : rex , i want to . it 's just -- shawn - d : dimera , what do you think you 're doing ? tony : but you realize that a plan of this magnitude could easily backfire ? well , of course you can count on me . i 'll make sure every key element is in place . and i 'm also cultivating a useful ally . yes , samantha brady . you always said you admired her drive . i think she is the key element to everything you 've ever wanted . no , no , no , no , please , leave samantha brady to me . i promise you will not be disappointed . sami : it 's brandon writing to apologize for walking out on me , and for trying to annul my marrgege . lucas : `` dear samantha , i 've spoken with lexie and abe , and i 'm shocked over your recent behavior . how could you use me as an excuse to barge into their home and make a bunch of crazy threats ? `` yoyou did that ? sami : do n't ask . lucas : `` our marriage was a fraud . i want you to sign the annulment papers and return them to my lawyer a.s.a.p . brandon . `` sami : [ sobbing ] lucas : sami . what did you expect , huh ? sami : i expected him to honor the vows that we took . lucas : that 's not going to happen . sami : it 's all lexie 's fault . lucas : what ? sami : yeah . abe and lexie -- they turned brandon against me . lucas : no , no , no , no . you did that , sami . you did that all by yourself . sami : i could have made brandon understand . he still loves me . i know that he does . you do n't know how great things were between us , how we used to stay up late talking and laughing and making love , and then we would nap and we would make love again -- lucas : stop . enough , all right ? please do n't share that kind of thing with me . sami : god , you just do n't understand . all i needed was a little support from a man who was supposed to be like a father to me . all i needed was for abe to say , `` you know what , brandon ? i think you should give her another chance . `` how hard is that ? that 's all he had to say . but , no , he badmouths me instead . he 's such a jerk . lucas : i do n't get it . if he 's like a second father to you , why are you calling him a jerk ? why do you treat his wife like that , huh ? sami : what ? lucas : yeah . sami : i 'm supposed to be nice to her after all the horrible things that she has done to me , the horrible things that she has done to abe ? i will never understand why he took her back . lucas : sami , it 's because he loves her , all right ? that 's what love does . sami : she is a bitch , lucas . she 's a bitch , and a phony , and she is tony dimera 's sister . abe must be a masochist to want to stay married to her . he 's always all smiles when she 's around , all , `` oh , my sweet little lexie . `` it makes me want to throw up . lucas : would you just ststop it ? you 're judging them . stop it right now . sami : and they do n't judge me ? i 'm not supposed to notice that lexie lied to her husband , that she betrayed him with another man , who happened to be my boyfriend ? the only reason she 's with abe now is because she 's too much of a coward to raise that kid on her own . lucas : oh , great . so , uh , you -- you 've got this pathetic life , but you do n't care , right ? you 've got everyone else 's life figured out , right , sami ? sami : how could abe trash me like this ? how could he do this to me ? lucas : because you switched the results of his wife 's paternity test , all right ? you crossed a major line . sami : yeah , well , he crossed a major line with me , and he is going to rreret it . lucas : stop it . what did you say when you barged into their home ? what did you say to them ? sami : i said i wished they would both just drop dead . lucas : you do n't -- you do n't believe that . do n't say that , sami . sami : i do mean it . i mean every word of it . i hate abe carver , and i hope he dies ! abe : it 's like someone walked over my grave . x bonnie : aw ... do n't feel bad , honey . that money you had in that account was chicken feed . mimi : it was $ 50,000 , minus $ 4,350 for a car . that leaves -- bonnie : chicken feed compared to what i could earn for you , me , and connor if i had my own country & western club . mimi : that old pipe dream ? bonnie : could use the place to showcase some of my songs . i got one in the works right now could go platinum just like that ! mimi : you and your crazy schemes . what was it last week , mom -- alpaca farming ? bonnie : ooh , god ! mimi : speaking of crazy schemes . bonnie : well , it 's working , is n't it ? do you see a cigarette in my hand ? mimi : no , but i smell one . bonnie : do you know what ? do n't be so cynical . mimi : cynical ? mom , you just stole thousands of dollars from me ! bonnie : and one of my songs is worth at least thousands more ! listen to this . i 'm losin ' at lotto but there 's mm , mm hope in my heart see , now , there is a sentiment that millions of people can relate to . mimi : you spent my money on lotto tickets ? bonnie : well , yeah . i had to parlay what i had into capital to put a down payment on the bar . mimi : and how much have we won ? bonnie : so far ? a 6-pack of soda . but i have another ticket left , and i 'm just sure that it 's a winner . m mimi : oh , is this it ? bonnie : that 'd be it . mimi : you 're absolutely right . bonnie : i knew it , i knew it ! what did we win ? what did we win ? mimi : 2 bucks . bonnie : ah , darn . bad . real bad . mimi : i ca n't believe i did n't notice . you 've been making withdrawals for months . you forged my signature . you ordered another atm card . i do n't -- how did you do it ? bonnie : well , i knew your social ... and your mother 's maiden name . mimi : how did you get my password ? bonnie : well , that was a no - brainer . r - e - x - d . mimi : i could sue you , you know that ? bonnie : right . like you 'd put me in jail and your little brother out on the street . mimi : i would n't do that to connor -- not again . but if it was n't for him , i would seriously consider it . bonnie : sweetie , please . please ? i 'm gon na make it up to you , i swear . this is just a temporary setback . mimi : i 'm gon na have to get two jobs now because of you . bonnie : what for ? mimi : to pay for my apartment , my education , my existence . bonnie : you could move back here . mimi : oh , not on your life . bonnie : what about rex d. ? could n't he loan us some cash ? mimi : no ! i already told you , no , i am never going to ask rex for money , okay ? get it ? never ! lucas : stop this , okay ? sami : abe carver ruined my life . lucas : that is insane . sami : brandon would have come back to me sooner or later if abe and lexie had n't poisoned his mind against me . lucas : sami , you lied to brandon . you tricked him into eloping with you . i mean , how he was so gullible , i 'll never know . but maybe if you were honest with the guy , he 'd still be here . sami : brandon has a big heart . i know that he would have been able to forgive and forget . lucas : for meddling with the paternity results ? sami , i really do n't think so . sami : no , he would have , okay ? he would have given me a second chance if abe and lexie had n't interfered . lucas : look , it was never meant to be between you and brandon . that 's why it ended . did you ever think of that ? huh ? sami : no , no , because brandon is the only person who ever understood me . he is my soul mate . lucas : well , you said the same thing about austin . do n't do this . please do n't cry . do n't go off the deep end . not now , sami . come on , not with our son coming back from camp . i mean it . please . please , what can i do ? how can i help you ? stop crying . sami : can you turn back the clock ? lucas : what are you talking about ? sami : when i was a little girl and my family was still together , we were so happy then . lucas : hey , do n't tell me you 're still obsessing about that . sami : i 'm not obsessing about it , lucas . i just think about it a lot , that 's all , and -- and i wish my parents were n't divorced , okay ? there 's nothing crazy about that . lucas : i did n't use the word `` crazy . `` you did . sami : even though i 'm an adult , that does n't mean that i do n't wish that my family was still together the way it used to be . lucas : wait , wait , wait . it can't . it ca n't be the way it used to be , all right ? your mother is married to another man , all right , and they 're in love . and they have another kid . sami : you do n't have to remind me about their precious little isabella , okay ? i know that she 's the joy of their life . lucas : that 's great . that 's real mature . what , do you resent your sister , is that it ? sami : no . okay , i do n't resent my sister . i love belle . i just think it 's creepy the way that they worship her . in fact , i feel sorry for her . she 's the product of my mom and john 's sleazy sex romp on the titan conference room table . you know , that ca n't make her feel very good about herself , right ? lucas : i do n't think she cares . her parents love each other , and they love her . that 's all that matters , sami . sami : how is it that you always makmeme feel worse about everything , lucas ? lucas : well , i 'm trying to pound some sense into your head . i mean , you keep obsessing about your parents getting back together , and it 's just not going to happen . i 'm sorry . your dad 's moved on , too . sami : oh , you do n't have to remind me . lucas : hey . hey . my mother makes roman very happy . si : i : oh , god , you did n't have to go there . lucas : i did n't go there . that 's not what i meant , all right ? just because you hate her ... sami : no , i think their relationship is pathetic ! they havnothing in common . my dad is funny , and kate has no sense of humor . my dad is kind , and kate is evil and mean . my dad is generous , and kate -- lucas : would you just shut up ? shut up ! shut your mouth about my mom ! i mean it ! sami : oh , you 're the one who brought it up ! lucas : no , i was talking about will ! sami : okay , then let 's talk about will . i am doing this for will . when i was a little kid and my family was together , that is what i want for will . i want to be able to recreate all of that . lucas : it does n't work that way . sami : well , it could . lucas : listen to me . your mother is married to john black . you father is with my mother . everybody 's happy . leave it alone ! sami : no , it 's all wrong . lucas : it 's not wrong ! you 've got to accept the fact that things have changed ! sami : no , i want them to change back , and i am going to make it happen ! jennifer : cayenne ?

belle : why did you have to do that ? mimi : rex ? lexie : jennifer , maybe we 're just overreacting . maybe abe and jack are doing what they feel is best for their families -- preparing for the unexpected . jennifer : lexie , if there i some real jeopardy going on , i want to know about it . lexie : abe 's always in jeopardy . i am so thankful that he 's going to be retiring from the force soon . jennifer : has your mom had any more premonitions ?

that he is a sneak and a creep . and even if i did n't suspect him of the attack , i still would n't like the guy . belle : how classy of you . shawn - d : i do n't get it ! why do you always have to defend him ? belle : because he is my brother , and you always seem to forget that . shawn - d : i do n't forget . it just so happens that i do n't think it makes a damn bit of difference . if someone you are related to happens to be bad news , you have to acknowledge it , do n't you ? i mean , think about all the criminals that are out there . their families have disowned them because they have done really horrible things . belle : i repeat , shawn -- we have no proof that rex did anything horrible . shawn - d : oh , i 'm so sick of this conversation . belle : and i am sick of your attitude towards rex . there is no reason for you to be so mean to him . look , he 's not my favorite person , okay ? but i feel sorry for him . he 's trying to make a life for himself . shawn - d : how ? by bashing people over t h head ? by moving into people 's apartments who hate him ? or by treating his girlfriend like dirt ? belle : he does n't treat her that badly . shawn - d : that badly ? that 's okay with you , that he does n't treat her that badly ? i 'm sorry . i just thought you had higher standards for someone whisis your best friend . belle : this conversation 's going nowhere . shawn - d : no , no , no . no . i just have to know one thing . are you taking rex 's side ?

[ laughter ] shawn d. : it 's read . mimi : yeah , she thought it was an original choice for something blue . chloe : yeah , she was right . mimi : now that we 're all blushing and whatnot , here is the serious one . she thought these sapphire earrings would match your eyes beautifully . chloe : oh , my god , mimi . they 're gorgeous , but your mom should n't have done this . mimi : do n't worry about it . she probably stole them from maggie horton . [ laughter ] belle : okay , well , i have the something borrowed . it 's my gold cross . chloe : oh , wow . b - brady has one just like it . belle : yeah , my dad gave them to us . and we have so many blessings in our lives , chloe . and brady just loves you so much . and it 's such a miracle that you 've overcome everything that you have to get to this day . and i wish you many , many , many more miracles . [ scene_break ] john : so , just because kate and roman have split up , you think we should get a divorce , also ? alex : let 's not be too hasty here , marlena . i do n't think now is the time to be talking about life - altering moves . roman : you know what ? maybe you 'll feel more like yourself tomorrow , marlena , at our daughter , sami 's , wedding . it will be a very special day . john : kind of like today is for us . you know -- brady . marlena : i know . brady 's wedding . i know . i think i 'll just go on upstairs and get changed . excuse me , please . roman : well , uh , i got ta get to work . um , john ... john : yeah . roman : can i talk to you for a minute ? john : [ sighs ] [ inhales ] roman : i told you it was a mistake letting doc go away , letting alex call the shots . now it looks like marlena 's gon na have to pay for that bad decision . john : all right , i admit bringing north in on this might have been a mistake here , but the fact is , she has bonded with the clown and we 're just gon na have to deal with it . roman : like hell we are . if you ca n't find a way to bring her back , i will . [ scene_break ] alex : i can , uh , see that you 're torn between john and roman . kate : excuse me ? am i patient of yours ? alex : oh , no , but i -- kate : well , then what the hell are you talking about ? alex : oh , please forgive me , mrs. brady , but i have done extensive research on the lives of those close to marlena . well , i know that you and john were engaged . kate : john and i believed that marlena and roman were dead , dr. north . alex : yes , but nevertheless , you still love both men deeply , much as marlena did . and i sense that you 're having some difficulty getting over that love for john . and roman has just announced that he is filing for divorce . i was just wondering if that makes you torn about which of the men you really want to be with . kate : [ chuckles ] that is really none of your business , is it ? alex : that 's not exactly true . you see , your feelings about these men can have a real impact on marlena and her recovery -- her future . kate : ah . well , my marriage to roman is over . it 's finished . alex : so then does that mean you 're thinking about being with john ? [ scene_break ] john : son , i have got a huge favor to ask you . hope you 'll understand . brady : yeah , what 's up ? john : i hate doing this . i know that i 'm supposed to be your best man today . but considering marlena 's condition -- brady : hey , dad , come on . i understand . i mean , you need to be next to her during the wedding . that 's cool . anything i can do to help her get her memory back . john : yeah , thanks . last thing you need today , huh ? now you got ta round up a new best man . brady : it 's cool . i 'll think of something . actually , i know exactly who to call .

[ scene_break ] john : i did n't want to interrupt your conversation . i could tell that you were getting a little upset . kate : [ chuckles ] oh , i was . john : so , what 's your take on dr. north ? kate : oh , it 's the same as yours . he has an agenda . at the very least , he wants to take control of marlena , and he is good . i just wonder how close they got at the cabin . john : yeah , been asking myself the same question . look , if you get the chance , could you help me keep an eye on him during the wedding ? kate : you know i 'll do whatever i can to help you . john : thank you . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : yeah , great . okay . i 'll see you at the church . bye . you sure you 're cool with me being the best man ? belle : of course . why would it be a problem ? shawn d. : i just do n't want you to be uncomfortable .

[ sighs ] lucas , i wish we were getting married today . [ scene_break ] tek : i 'm sorry , abe , but i disagree . even if stan is some master of disguise , every wanted fugitive makes a fatal mistake sooner or later . abe : tek , i was fighting the dimera family when you were in elementary school . all i 'm saying is do n't underestimate the guy . tony has tentacles that reach all around the world . so why ca n't he have somebody working for him inside the jail ? and we have to assume that he knows he 's being set up . roman : abe 's right . now , our number one priority today is to get tony transferred to maximum security . but hopefully before the day is out , we will know the i.d . of this bastard stan .

quinn : i told the officer i was on my way to visit my poor old mum . i said she 's fret if i was late . vivian : you are shameless . gus : i do believe this celebration was supposed to include champagne . vivian : gus , how proactive of you . thank you . quinn : yeah . oh ! ah , sorry about that , mate . vivian : gus , that is the second glass that has left your hands in two days . gus : no harm done . i 'll just get another glass . vivian : gus , this evening is very important to me . gus : you 've made that abundantly clear . vivian : look , every time quinn and i get together , we get closer . i do n't want to jeopardize it . gus : whatever do you mean ? vivian : well , let 's just say sometimes three 's a crowd . do you understand ? gus : perfectly . vivian : good . jennifer : hey ! there he is . hi there . daniel : hey . you do a lot more for that dress than the mannequin did . jennifer : oh , this old thing ? victor : do n't worry , we have our own table . we wo n't be intruding on your evening . nice poem . eloquent use of the rhyming quatrain . daniel : bite me . maggie : enjoy your evening . charles ! charles : mrs. horton . how lovely to see you looking so well . maggie : oh , it 's so nice to see you . it 's good to be here . i 'm sure you know mr. kiriakis . charles : pleasure to see you again . now i have saved a lovely table for you both . maggie : oh , it is my favorite , thank you . daniel : i can not get over how great you look in that dress . jennifer : i can not get over how great it is that you bought me this dress , and that you arranged for this whole evening . daniel : i just wanted to do something special . what ? jennifer : something 's wrong . daniel : and here i thought i was covering so well . jennifer : no , what is it ? daniel : no , i am not gon na bring us down tonight . jennifer : you know what , i am not gon na even pretend to have a great time tonight if there is something upsetting you . daniel : it 's chloe . sami : you think will knew something was up ? rafe : he knew something went right . sami : 'cause it did . it 's over ! it 's really over . rafe : hey , nothing but good times ahead . that 's it . sami : can we really afford this place though ? rafe : yeah , sure . you just want one course , right ? i 'm kidding . we 're celebrating . sami : we totally are . we are celebrating . but i 'm really happy with a salad . i mean , i had a big lunch . rafe : would you stop ? stop with the money , okay ? we 're fine . though it does seem rather odd coming from you . same person who broke into lexie 's office to get her test results . someone that larcenous can definitely figure out a way to get us out of the check . sami : oh , yeah , i 'll get right on that . no way . i do n't wan na go from the hospital to the jail . rafe : i think i know a way the arresting officer could be tempted to look the other way . sami : oh , really ? rafe : mm - hmm . sami : well , why do n't you tell me how the officer might persuaded to be more lenient ? rafe : okay . charles : [ clears throat ] rafe : hi . hernandez . table for two . charles : of course . right this way . hope : mandy ? mandy : you guys are probably sick of me freaking out on you . hope : do n't worry about us . we 're fine . what about you ? are you okay ? mandy : the guy 's face . it was n't round . it was n't long . hope : oval ? like yours ? mandy : yeah . like that . hope : doing great . really are doing great . vivian : well , look who 's back from the hospital . you must be feeling better . maggie : better than you actually . thank you for asking . vivian : there must be some lingering effects from the gunshot wound like brain function or something . victor : vivian , do n't you have to be somewhere ? the ladies room ? vivian : darling , there must be some sort of lapse here . you 're with victor kiriakis . i mean , it was proximity to him that got you almost killed and certainly definitely shot . maggie : well , actually , my thinking has never been clearer in ages . and i guess my brush with death just made me realize what 's really important . the only after - effect is just this little touch of nausea , which is why i asked charles to seat me as far away from you as possible . vivian : excuse me . maggie : thank you . daniel : i just -- i could n't believe it when i saw her name on the chart . and then to see her lying there -- jennifer : i 'm sorry . is she gon na be okay ? daniel : well , she was beaten so badly she 's in a coma . so i just -- jennifer : daniel , that 's awful . they think that it 's the same guy that attacked those two prostitutes , right ? why would he attack chloe ? daniel : roman does n't know . jennifer : this is horrible . i am so sorry . daniel : when it all came out that phillip was parker 's father , i ... really thought that i was the injured party . then i saw her lying there and i thought , uh ... after that day , her life just took this big left turn . and mine just kept going straight along . jennifer : yeah . yeah , that kinda makes me think of , um , me and jack , you know ? i mean , god only knows where he is and what he 's up to right now . daniel : yeah . what do they call that ? survivor 's guilt . jennifer : i do n't know , maybe . but what i do know is that i am here with you right now . and i think that i am unbelievably lucky . daniel : now i am gon na be thinking about chloe . i just ca n't help it . jennifer : of course , of course . daniel : but i will be concentrating on you , and i ca n't help that either . sami : i just noticed something rafe : do i have something in my teeth ? sami : no , no , stop that ! no ! look at the other tables . we have a way nicer flower arrangement than anyone else . either we totally hit the jackpot -- rafe : or i went to the florist ? sue me . sami : i ca n't . we do n't have anymore money . rafe : you 're right . we do n't . sami : after this dinner and the flowers ... rafe it 's too much . rafe : can we not talk about the money anymore , 'cause it 's kinda bummin ' me out . sami : that 's our song . you did that too ? rafe : i did . i just figured we 've been together all this time . we never go out for fancy dinners or have champagne or ... dance to our song . i just decided no matter what lexie told us , we were gon na do this tonight . so can i have this dance ? may i ? hmm ? sami : yes . oh , yes . rafe : good . and another thing this is priceless . so i do n't care about the money that we do n't have . maggie : they look so happy . victor : listen , i 'm sorry about vivian . i had no idea she 'd be here . maggie : i do n't give a hoot about vivian . i just love being with out . victor : are you really getting bored at the manse ? maggie : not when you 're there . but the rest of the time ... i like to scramble my own eggs . and weed my own garden . i 'll talk to henderson and see that you get to do those things . maggie : oh , it 's not necessary . victor : i want you to feel comfortable in my home . it 's very important to me . maggie : why did you say that ? victor , is everything all right ? victor : well , that sort of depends on you . jennifer : i heard they were going through a hard time . it looks like they worked it out . daniel : yeah , it 's great when that happens . jennifer : yeah , it 's great when that happens . daniel : oh , right there . jennifer : oh . daniel : thank you , charles . jennifer : thank you . that 's funny , we did n't order anything yet . daniel : well , i took the liberty of ordering for you . and this right here , is the first course . jennifer : oh , but you do n't have anything . daniel : oh , my goodness , will you just open it please ? jennifer : open it ? [ gasps ] daniel ! oh , my gosh , these are beautiful . are you kidding me ? daniel : they 're okay . they 'll be beautiful when they 're worn by you . jennifer : what did i do to deserve these ? daniel : you had the good sense to come along in my life at exactly the right time . jennifer : and vice versa . gus : something you need ? vivian : you know that after - hours place near the river ? gus : the one i told you about . vivian : right . well , i want you to put me on their list for tonight . gus : for two people i presume . vivian : well , certainly not for three . jennifer : well ? daniel : well , i think we should hit the dance floor . jennifer : right now ? daniel : yes , right now . i like knowing i 'm the envy of every guy in the place . jennifer : with my new earrings on . daniel : yes . victor : so how 's the chocolate mousse ? maggie : you do n't answer my questions , so i 'm not gon na answer yours . victor : i have no idea what you 're talking about . maggie : you said it was important for you that i 'm comfortable in your home . and then you stopped talking . victor : well , believe it or not , i was at a loss for words . maggie : well , just take a stab at it . victor : all right . i want you to feel comfortable in my home because when you 're there , every room you enter seems brighter , the windows seem cleaner , the furniture seemed newer . the wallpaper seems to be in better taste . taking a place that 's come to feel like a fortress and made it into a joyous place . and i do n't want that to end . and it wo n't if you decide to stay . permanently . daniel : wow , special night over there ? sami : yes . it 's special . very , very special . jennifer : we could n't help noticing how happy you guys look . sami : i could n't help noticing those unbelievably beautiful earrings . jennifer : thank you . they were a very special present . sami : you know , it seems like we 're all celebrating . we have a bottle of champagne coming . we 'd love to share it with you . daniel : well , i ca n't say no to a bottle of champagne . what are we celebrating ? sami : everything . 0 maggie : you want me to live with you ? victor : i do . but no pressure . just take your time , think about it . maggie : you know , um , i do my best thinking when i 'm dancing . victor : really ? may i have this dance ? jennifer : these flowers are beautiful . really . sami : rafe thought of everything . daniel : is this some kind of anniversary ? rafe : no , no . today is just a day that we 're gon na remember for a long , long time . daniel : there you go . thank you , charles . and put this on my bill . rafe : oh , no , no , no . daniel : no , i got it . i got it . what should we toast to ? hmm ? sami : i say we toast to life . rafe : to life . jennifer : i love that . to life . sami : cheers . [ footsteps ] bo : why do n't you show us what you got ? hope : does this look like the man who attacked you ? mandy : that 's him . quinn : i 've changed my plans . i 'm all yours for the evening . vivian : oh , that 's wonderful . quinn : i 'll pull my car around and we can check out -- vivian : oh , do n't worry about the car , gus 'll take us . where is he ? where 'd he go ? is n't forensics finished here ? not yet . they 're gon na take one more pass tonight . what do they think there 's left to find ? beats me . quinn : bye . vivian : bye . gus : hey ! stop that ! what 's the matter with you ? yeah , this should be easy to find . lexie : no change . chloe : gus . bo : he sees the same thing we do . roman : we 're all thinking that maybe we saw this guy before ? chloe : gus . lexie : did you say something ? roman : maybe we finally got the break we need . | daniel looked at chloe 's chart and realized that she was in a coma . he rushed to her room . daniel could n't understand why chloe was attacked . daniel wanted roman to find the person who attacked chloe . bo took mandy to see the sketch artist so she could identify her attacker . lexie told sami and rafe that the abnormal cells were n't cancerous . sami and rafe were relieved . jennifer showed up at victor 's place to give maggie some things since she 's staying with victor for now . they talked and victor showed up with gifts for maggie . victor wanted to take maggie out . vivian and gus were at chez rouge . gus assumed vivian arranged a special dinner for them , but he thought wrong . she arranged the dinner for her and quinn . vivian did n't think there was room for three people . |
\will : sonny . what day did we take ari to get her hair cut ? i want to send a picture to the kids at camp . sonny : i 'm not sure . was it wednesday ? it 's okay to miss sami . she 's your mom . will : well , it does n't matter . she still hates me for writing about her and ej and abigail . ben : there 's nothing else to say . i get the bigger picture now . i saw you looking at ej dimera , and the whole thing made sense . abigail : no , ben , please . ben : come on , abigail . i was kissing you , and you pushed me away . and you did that because you were thinking about him . look me in the eye . tell me i 'm wrong . abigail : you 're not wrong . i was thinking about ej . clyde : mr. dimera , it 's a real honor , sir . ej : who the hell are you , and what do you want ? jordan : what brings you here ? lucas : i was just visiting john . how have you been ? jordan : fine . lucas : is that fine like the last time i saw you ? jordan : pretty much . lucas : i 'm sorry . jordan : about ? lucas : you and rafe , you 're going to try to work things out , right ? jordan : [ sighs ] why do you care ? rafe : so stefano did threaten you ? kate : that 's what i said , is n't it ? rafe : well , it 's your word against his . kate : not if i have a witness . rafe : someone heard the threat ? kate : yes ... rafe : oh . kate : sami . she heard every word . she heard stefano threaten to kill me . rafe : that 's funny because stefano is still out of the country . we have confirmation on that . so how did he threaten you ? kate : over the phone . he called me . rafe : right . so how was sami a witness to that ? kate : because i put him on speaker . as soon as i heard his voice , i knew he was up to something , and i wanted sami to hear every word . rafe : right . and what exactly were those words , sami ? sami : [ scoffs ] lucas : well , no , it 's just , you know , you and rafe make a great couple , and rafe 's a friend , so -- jordan : and kate is your mother . lucas : yeah , so ? so what ? that does n't mean i want to see rafe and my mom together . not at all , i would n't wish that on my worst enemy , let alone a friend . but i do believe her when she told me , you know , what happened between them was all her doing . i mean , i did see them that night , so -- jordan : no , i ca n't go through this . lucas : i think my mother orchestrated the whole thing , so if you and rafe break up because of this , you 're just going to let her win . jordan : and we ca n't have that . mm , now i get it . lucas : no , no , wait , wait . that 's not what i meant . jordan : you want me to get back with rafe just to punish kate . kate : well , stefano said -- rafe : um , i want to hear it from sami . kate : oh , okay . tell him . rafe : yeah . sami : so , uh , well , stefano was blathering about , you know , everything that 's happened : how we [ scoffs ] took his plane and , uh , the company and then the article at truvista , and , i mean , he was getting himself all worked up , you know . he was getting more and more angry , and then , i mean , he just came right out , and he said , `` katerina , the games are over . `` and he said , `` when i come back to salem , i 'm going to kill you , you broken - down whore . `` rafe : oh . stefano : i want the jet fueled and ready . i return to salem today . sonny : your mom does n't hate you . nobody hates you . will : you saw her , right ? sonny : she was mad . but she 's worried about you too . will : but not worried enough to show up or call . and that would be too much to ask right now , i get that . sonny : hey , you guys had a fight . i fight with my mom all the time . will : this is big . sonny : my mom tried to break us up and stop us from getting married . you both will get over this . will : i hope so . sonny : hey , ari , you want to get out of daddy 's hair while he writes ? will : [ laughs ] my searing exploration of salem 's traffic problems awaits . sonny : i 'm sure you 'll make it riveting . will : bye , sweetie . sonny : all right , we 'll bring you some lunch home . will : stay out of trouble . sonny : you too . will : [ chuckles ] [ exhales deeply ] [ sighs ] no problem . no problem . rafe : so that was it , huh ? those exact words ? sami : well , i mean , a lot of it was in italian . he said puta or puttana . i forget , which one 's the italian word for `` whore `` ? i mean , he just kept going on and on . it was really aggressive , but he definitely meant the word `` whore . `` rafe : oh , oh , okay . all right , i will -- excuse me . kate : mm - hmm . rafe : i will go see d.a . trask , and you two sit tight . kate : oh , why ? rafe : well , because the hearing is -- wow , in less than an hour , and you two may need to testify . kate : oh , right . sami : well , we 'll be here . testify ? kate : `` broken - down whore `` ? sami : oh , well , the story needed specifics . besides , it 's the kind of thing that stefano would have said to you . kate : no , no , he would n't . sami : well , it 's our story now , under oath . kate : yeah , what 's your problem ? sami : i 'm not going to lie on the witness stand . kate : oh , my god , sami , it 's just a little lie . a lie that is n't even a lie , because he did threaten me . he threatened us . and all you have to do now is get on that witness stand and testify to the judge , and we 're home free . i do n't even know why you 're hesitating . lucas : look , i 'm sorry for pushing , and i know it 's hard to get past what he did . i can see that . it 's just , you guys have gotten over so much to get together already , and i thought , you know -- jordan : i have another patient to see , so -- lucas : okay , okay . i wo n't stand in your way . i just think you should know that ... you 're an amazing , beautiful woman , and even though i may be rooting for rafe , i would love to see you happy with someone . jordan : thank you . lucas : i think we all deserve that chance . ben : thanks for being honest . abigail : wait , ben , wait . ben : there 's nothing else to say . abigail : you do n't understand . ben : no , no , i get it . i was an idiot . abigail : no , you were n't . okay ? i -- ben : then the whole thing was a mistake , abigail . abigail : what ? ben : i thought we could get past this whole thing with ej , and i thought that 's what you wanted too . clyde : i 'm clyde weston . did our friend not say anything about my proposition ? ej : i can assure you i have no idea what you 're talking about . clyde : oh , course not . me being a complete stranger . well , it 's probably best if i fill you in myself anyway . you got a minute to listen ? i think it 's possible that the two of us could do some business together . mom : good luck , sweetie ! i love you ! girl : i love you too . abigail : that is what i want , ben . i do n't want to think about ej , ever . ben : yeah , and i 'm just the guy to help you forget . abigail : that 's not what i said . ben : i do n't do rebounds , abigail . you want ej ? go get him . abigail : no , i do n't want ej . he does n't want me . ben : then do whatever you want , but i 'm not going to be your consolation prize . abigail : okay , you -- tad : yo , ben , i need you to tap the -- okay , wait , is this a bad time ? abigail : yes , it is . ben : no , perfect time . we 're done here . abigail : wait , hold on , ben . tad : oh , i 'm sorry . abigail : so am i . lucas : look at you . you look so cute . she looks great . what 's going on ? sonny : you going to say hi to grandpa ? lucas : yeah , thanks . i still shudder every time i hear that . what 's going on ? you look great . how 's your daddy doing ? is he doing good ? sonny : he 's hanging in there . lucas : yeah ? sonny : mm - hmm . lucas : still kicking himself every second for writing that article ? sonny : pretty much . he 's moving on , though . working on something new right now . will : hello . zoe : hi . is this okay ? i know you work from home , so i hoped i 'd catch you . will : well , i 'm actually pretty busy , so -- zoe : will , i 'm here to make you an offer . jordan : abigail . abigail : hi , jordan . jordan : uh - oh , i know that look . is something wrong ? abigail : uh , no , nothing i can talk to you about . jordan : well , that means it 's about ben , yes ? is it serious ? abigail : uh , yeah , i think that it could be over , and it 's all my fault . ej : and why would you believe that you and i could do business together ? clyde : well , i believe that , despite our obvious differences , we have mutual interests . you know , i 'm probably not saying this the right way . the truth is , i 'm a little nervous finally meeting you . what i mean to say , sir , is i was hoping that maybe i could come work for you . sami : i think you 're overreacting , kate . kate : and i think you 're in denial . i absolutely do n't believe that you think stefano is not a threat . sami : of course he 's a threat , but he 's not here . and look , even if he was in town , do n't you think the first thing he would do would be get the board together and get us ousted as ceos of his company ? kate : yeah , maybe he would . it would certainly be a lot better for him if we were n't in the spotlight . sami : great , so he gets to beat his chest , and we retire three months early . kate : no , you did n't hear me . sami : yeah , i did . you think he wants us out of the spotlight , i agree . kate : it would be easier for him to eliminate us if we were n't in the spotlight . sami : he 's not gon na eliminate me . i 'm the mother of his grandchildren . kate : oh , my god , yeah , yeah , yeah , since yeah , you just keep on telling me that , do n't you ? sami : yes , i do . and i will keep telling you until you get it . kate : i get it , okay ? i talked to him . i heard his voice . he wants revenge . sami : fine . he 's going to try to get revenge . but he 's not going to kill us . i mean , he 'd end up fighting ej too . kate : [ scoffs ] really ? sami : look , no matter what else happens , ej does n't want me dead . kate : okay , okay , well , i know you are never going to waver from that naive and idiotic interpretation of that situation . but , sami , really , do you think any of that matters ? sami : ej is his son . kate : tony was his son , and he left him to rot on an island for god knows how long . oh , he loved marlena . what did he do with her ? he kept her prisoner . and lexie , poor lexie he kept hostage in tunnels so toxic , they contributed to her death . sami : look , in all of those instances , we 're still not talking about , you know , outright murder . kate : [ scoffs ] no , no , no . no , because he loves the torture , you see . so what he 'll probably do to you is lock you up . away from your children , away from your loved ones . you remember when we were talking about a fate worse than death ? because you 're going to be wishing for death , sami . sami : this whole thing has gotten so far out of control . kate : you knew what we were doing . we were stripping stefano of everything , including his bride . and now we need to -- we need to face reality . if he comes back here as a free man , we 're not only going to lose our company , we 're going to lose our lives . [ door opens ] kate : one way or another . rafe : well , good news . just spoke with melinda trask , and she 's agreed to put both of you on the stand today . sonny : there she goes . we heard from allie yesterday . lucas : yeah , yeah . i get emails every day myself and pictures . she 's growing up a lot . she looks so different . it 's so weird . sonny : she did mention a boy she met at camp . lucas : she mentioned a what ? sonny : [ chuckles ] lucas : a boy at camp ? what are you talking about ? last i heard , boys were gross . sonny : sorry , dad , but kevin apparently is `` awesome sauce . `` lucas : `` awesome sauce `` ? i 'll sauce that little weasel if he comes near her . sonny : [ chuckles ] lucas : what ? you laugh now . laugh all you want . same thing 's coming for you and will , right around the corner . sonny : seems like a good problem to have . normal problem . lucas : yeah , as opposed to blowing up your family in a public print kind of way ? sonny : mm - hmm . will 's still pretty upset about the whole thing . i think deep down he wishes he had never written it . lucas : well , i 'm sure sami pushed all the right buttons to make that happen . sonny : well , none of it could have happened if i had n't gone to my uncle vic and gotten him the job . lucas : i 'm really sorry about that , sonny . i had no idea if i told will about victor that it would be news . sonny : no , no , no , no . i should have been up front with him . lucas : maybe , yeah . that would help . you guys , you know , work together on things , work through things together , it 'll be great . that 's what a marriage is all about . sonny : is it ? lucas : yeah , it is . that 's what i hear anyway . i read books . it must be right because that 's exactly what i did n't do . so learn from my mistakes , my son . you and will , you just be honest with each other , okay ? everything else will be fine . will : i heard victor fired you . zoe : i was unemployed for four hours . will : no kidding . zoe : yeah , and for the record , i would have quit anyway . will : so where 'd you land ? zoe : sonix . will : that 's huge . their website gets 6 or 7 million unique hits per month . that 's national reach . what 's the gig ? zoe : feature editor . i have full editorial control . will : how 'd you manage that ? zoe : well , i wo n't lie to you . after the success of your piece at truvista , it put me in a good spot to dictate terms . so i 'm thinking ... maybe we should get back together ? will : [ chuckles ] you mean work together again ? that 's why you 're here , is n't it ? zoe : well , also to check on you . i was worried . are you still getting blowback from the story ? will : i 'm dealing , but , yeah . there has been repercussions . the fact that you overruled me and printed abigail devereaux 's name made everything worse for everyone . tad : sorry about that . i did n't mean to bust things up out there . ben : you did n't . tad : abigail , she 's one amazing woman . i hear crickets . what 's up ? ben : it 's over . tad : oh , that 's too bad . so you wo n't mind me asking her out , 'cause she is smoking hot . so maybe things are n't as over as you think they are . jordan : here , tell me . abigail : no , i ca n't , jordan . i really -- it 's just -- it 's too awkward . but just know that ben has every right to be upset with me . it was unrealistic of me to think that he could get past what happened with me and ej , so -- jordan : but he had . i mean , it was over before you and ben even met , right ? abigail : yeah . jordan : and it stayed over , did n't it ? i mean , you and ej did n't get back together -- abigail : no , no , god , no . i would never . no , i think it 's just that , you know , i think the article dredged it all back up again . ej : you wish to work for me , do you ? well , i have a full maintenance crew at the house and at the company . clyde : yeah . sir , i realize your time is valuable . i understand the suspicion . i 'd feel the same way if i was in your shoes . i 'm from a little town called poplar bluff . your people can check me out . now , i do n't pretend to be in your league , sir , but i do know our business . and from what i 've seen and heard since i came to salem , all due respect , you 're getting ripped off . now , i do n't know if the people you deal with have more overhead than i do or if they 're just greedy or foolish . but what i do know is , i can see to it you do a whole lot better . just give me the chance , sir . kate : okay , sure . we 're ready to go . rafe : okay , good , good . yeah . i 'll be right back . kate : so are you with me ? sami : look , it 's risky , but yes , okay ? i 'm with you . the alternative is way worse . kate : good . let 's get our story straight before we go in . sami : our story 's straight . it 's what i said to rafe , right ? stefano said , `` the games are over . `` kate : when he comes back to salem , he 's going to kill me . sami : and he called you a broken - down whore . kate : okay , no , we do n't have to add that in . sami : yeah , i think we do . i mean , we have to be exactly on track , right ? i mean , that 's the story i told rafe . if we change it now , he 'll be suspicious . stefano : we have anticipated every move that katerina and sami could make , huh ? they are neutralized , all right ? so there is nothing that they can do now to prevent my return , huh ? kate : maybe you 're right . maybe -- maybe the insult makes it more threatening . sami : well , it also gives stefano a motive , you know , that he was so hurt by your betrayal . kate : hmm . you know , i think that 's good . i really do . you accidentally helped with your little jab , sami . sami : i just want you to know , if we do end up in jail for perjuring ourselves , i will hold it against you for the rest of our lives . kate : oh , really ? oh , really ? 'cause that wo n't be very long if stefano wins this hearing . sami : how did we end up here ? kate : `` how did we end up here ? `` that 's because you were so hell - bent on getting revenge against ej for him cheating on you . sami : wait a second . you 're the one who -- rafe : all right , change of plans . neither one of you will be testifying today . ( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? zoe : i know i put you in an awkward position , will , and i 'm sorry for that . will : but now i should trust you ? why ? zoe : because i will tell you the truth . will : are you sorry for naming abigail ? would you do it again ? zoe : sorry i named her without talking to you . and yes , i would do it again . will : i wo n't ever write about my family again . zoe : agreed . and i can promise you , nothing would go up without your approval . will : in writing , i want that promise in writing . zoe : fine . i have a list of ideas for your first story . will : i have n't even said yes yet . zoe : you want to stay at truvista and write about traffic patterns . will : how did you know what my assignment was ? zoe : oh , that dog of a story has been sitting around for months . mitchell assigned it to you because he thinks you ca n't say no , that you do n't have options , and that you 're green . will : but you do n't think i 'm green ? zoe : our most important demo is college - educated readers , 18 to 34 . that 's you . we need a voice and a perspective like yours . and now you do have options , with a nice bump in salary and not just fee per piece . we would put you on staff . that 's a regular paycheck whether you 're published or not . will : and you would put all of that in writing ? zoe : i already have . i know that you are better than what truvista will let you do . question is , do you know it ? will : i need to talk to my husband . zoe : well , i need an answer soon . will : i understand . zoe : give yourself a real break , will . [ door closes ] rafe : listen , this is good news . there 's some new evidence that came to light . i did n't want to say anything in case it did n't turn out , but the d.a . says we 've got him dead to rights . sami : wha -- is there still going to be a hearing ? rafe : yeah , it 's going on right now . but trask says it 's a slam dunk . kate : really ? i ca n't believe that . rafe : well , believe it . in fact , if stefano sets foot in salem , he 's going to be arrested immediately . kate : how did you find the evidence ? rafe : just a little digging . sami : you found it ? rafe : yeah , yeah . i found it . just had to hand it over to forensics , and that 's it . kate : so was it from one of stefano 's shadow corporations ? rafe : well , the details of the case are confidential . sami : hey , it does n't matter , right ? thank you . that 's what we should be saying . thank you so much , rafe . rafe : that 's okay . sami : it 's amazing . rafe : oh , no . just doing my job . sami : [ chuckles ] yeah , totally . good for you . rafe : yeah , okay . well , that 's it . you two , you do n't need to hang around , all right ? kate : thank you . sami : no , yeah , really . thank you . rafe : yeah . sami : oh , my god , oh , my god . this is amazing . we 're safe . kate : yeah , for now . sami : what ? kate : something 's not right . not quite right . sami : what are you talking about ? you think rafe is lying , and stefano is back in town , and he 's going to surprise us at the house ? kate : no , no . but i think something 's going on that he 's not telling us about . clyde : now , i 'm looking to stay here in salem for a spell , and i have access to a quality product at a lower cost than your current suppliers . and your distribution system is decent , but even there you 've got breakage ... spillage . and i know how to put a stop to that . you check me out , mr. dimera , you 'll see . ej : are you finished ? clyde : [ chuckles ] uh , yeah , i suppose i am . son of a bitch . abigail : i have no feelings for ej except complete disgust . i wish what happened with us never happened . he and sami , you know , they -- they should be together . the two of them deserve each other . ben : you want to go out with abigail ? go for it . does n't matter to me . tad : hmm . you know , there 's a poker game thursday night at rooney 's . you should come . ben : yeah ? tad : no , you 'll lose your whole paycheck . you can not bluff . ben : do you want me to , like , prep the bar or something for the next shift ? tad : no , because that 's not going to make this go away . oh . you can not bluff . you 're a wreck over this girl . abigail : i care about ben so much . and , you know , i know the timing was lousy when we first met , but i do n't know . i just -- i thought that we had a chance at something , you know , something special , something good . jordan : then why would you give it up ? ej : yes , i need more background on clyde weston . well , then double - check and check again . look , if there 's even a whisper of a connection to law enforcement , i want to know about it . okay . and if he 's right about our suppliers , if i 'm being overcharged , i need to know . thank you . clyde : no , i do n't know how it 's going to end up for sure . yeah , i 'm very happy . i think i just fell into a sweet deal that 'll set me up for good . right here in salem . abigail : ben made it real clear how he feels . jordan : well , did you make it clear how you feel ? abigail : i tried . he did n't want to hear it . he did n't even listen . jordan : it 's because he 's hurt . abigail : i know . and i understand . jordan : well , understand , but do n't give up . you need to give ben a chance to hear you again if you think what you had is worth fighting for . abigail : i do . jordan : then do it . fight for it . abigail : thanks , jordan . tad : hey . yeah . you got it . hey , sonny called and said the new olives for the signature martini got left behind when we were cleaning out the storage room yesterday . can you go get them ? ben : yeah , sure . sonny : ah , did you eat yet ? will : no . sonny : oh , great . i 'll heat this up . oh , i ran into your dad . he could n't keep his hands off ari . is that a draft of the article ? will : huh ? no , no , i 'm stuck on that . sonny : oh , you 'll figure it out . what are you reading ? will : it 's , um -- it 's a job offer . from sonix . sonny : that 's huge . how 'd they find you ? did they read your story ? will : zoe browning landed there after uncle victor fired her . she 's offering me a job . sonny : you 're seriously thinking about going to work for a woman who nearly ruined your life ? sami : can you just take the win , please ? what is wrong with you ? kate : okay , you do n't find this even a little bit strange ? how many forensic accountants did we need to hire to go through all of the company 's financial records ? sami : a lot . kate : right , exactly . and we are the ones who discovered all the evidence that the state has right now , and yet today , they find more evidence that was missed by all of those experts . and rafe found that evidence . sami : okay , so maybe he just was really lucky . you know , i mean , maybe he has that sixth sense that good cops have . kate : mm . or maybe he had help . and we both know there 's only one person ... who could give him that help . [ phone rings ] ej : yes , father ? stefano : oh , how i wish rafael hernandez was dead . ej : well , who does n't ? is there a particular reason for wanting that today ? stefano : he trumped up some ridiculous evidence against me , all right ? so the charges were not dropped . now there are more charges pending . ej : hmm , well , that is most unfortunate . would you like me to handle it ? i can do a little digging . stefano : oh , i 'll find out myself . ej : father , please . i do n't want you to trouble yourself . let me get to the bottom of this for you , okay ? and just so that you know , as of right now , everything 's under control . stefano : those women . ej : those women are under my watchful gaze , father . and to be fair , they 're actually doing quite a good job . and the core of the business is safe and thriving . and if i need to intervene , i will do that . stefano : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , once the charges against me are resolved , i will intervene myself . i 'll pay them back for all their efforts . sami : all right , well , let 's go , come on . kate : sami . sami : what ? kate : be careful . sami : what ? kate : i just think it 's best if we stick to rafe 's version of what happened , that he discovered the evidence all on his own . sami : of course . you coming ? you read the labels on the foods you eat - will : zoe browning apologized for making those edits without my approval . sonny : i bet she would do it again . will : i told her i was n't going to write about my family , ever . i made that clear . sonny : but if it 's someone else 's family who gets trashed , that 's okay ? will : so now all journalism is trashy ? you do n't think that there are some people who should be exposed for the lousy , dangerous things that they do ? sonny : is that what zoë said she wanted you to write about ? will : she said that i could write about whatever i want . sonny : how can you trust her ? will : she put it all in writing . look , sonny , this is a chance to write about something that really matters , not just traffic patterns . sonny : if you want to write about something else , i will ask my uncle victor -- will : no , i do not want your family 's charity . sonny : will , it 's not charity . will : zoe browning wants me to do this . my writing . i got this offer . what ? sonny : i 'm going to go check on ari . will : sonny . sonny : i will support you in whatever you do , okay ? will : your opinion matters to me . sonny : does it ? 'cause it sounded like you already had your mind made up before i even walked in the door . [ door closes ] ben : [ exhales deeply ] damn it . rafe : hey . you 're still hanging around . kate : yeah , yeah . i think i just wanted to be sure . rafe : yeah . well , guess what . the hearing 's over , and the charges stuck . kate : thank you . rafe : well , no need to thank me . thank your ex - husband for being such a crook . i just did my job . kate : hmm . a little above and beyond , though , do n't you think ? rafe : mm , no . not really . kate : yes , really . rafe : really , no . [ both chuckle ] kate : but thanks for looking out for me . rafe : yeah , any time . ej : okay , i 'm looking at the photograph right now . sydney , you sent this ? oh , no , wait , i -- oh , i see . oh , william sent it to you . i see . well , i would imagine that baby ari did cry . it 's scary . do you remember the first time you had your hair cut ? i had to stick you in a fire engine and cover your ears because you were afraid somebody was going to snip them off . [ laughs ] um , i think i do have a photograph . i will send it to you . okay , do me a favor and stick allie on , will you ? thanks . hey . how are you ? good , good . your mother and i have been thinking about you a lot . we 're very much looking forward to seeing you soon , and we think you 're very brave . okay . is johnny there ? hello , big man . very proud of you for looking after your sisters . okay , i love you too . go away and have a good time . okay , okay , bye . hello . sami : the judge ruled against stefano . he 's still under indictment . ej : so he ca n't come back ? that 's a lucky break for you . sami : it 's not luck . i know what you did . | kate told rafe that sami heard stefano threaten to kill her . rafe wanted to know what stefano said to kate . kate was about to tell rafe everything that he heard , but he wanted to hear it from sami . stefano let someone know that he was returning to salem . will thought sami hated him . sonny convinced him that he will work things out with sami . rafe seemed to believe the story that sami gave him and he went to the district attorney to tell her the story . sami freaked when she realized she had to testify about what stefano said . clyde introduced himself to ej and believed they could do business together . ben was upset with abby because he thought she was rebounding from ej . abby tried to explain things , but he did n't want to hear it . will 's editor ( zoë ) wanted to make will a job offer . ej was skeptical about clyde wanting to work with him . clyde wanted to work for ej and help out his business . sami did n't think stefano was going after her and kate . kate knew that stefano wanted revenge . sami did n't think ej would let stefano kill her . kate warned sami that stefano would make them suffer . rafe let sami and kate know that they could testify against stefano . |

[ scene_break ] jack : kiriakis mansion ? okay , tell me -- who do you suspect ? victor ? the gorgeous wife ? the loyal butler ? who ? abe : i 'm not ruling out anyone . jack : uh - huh . you remember that i told you jennifer and i saw nicole kissing colin right here in this very mall , and at the same time , we saw a camera sticking out of a bush . someone was taking pictures of them . that is blackmail . uh - huh . abe : you make it sound so cut - and - dried . and if you remember , i had people falsely confessing to murder . jack : oh , abe , look , i only confessed to it because i was afraid that jennifer actually killed colin to protect me , so ... water under the bridge , all right ? seriously , who do you suspect ? abe : seriously , i 'm keeping that to myself for now . jack : but it 's safe to say that your list has expanded , since you 've included a dead man on the list , and -- and if that dead man 's a dimera , maybe our wives are right to worry about us . [ scene_break ] lenore : it happened very suddenly . i went to the store for some groceries , and when i got home , well , he was already gone . it was very hard not getting to say goodbye . jennifer : i - i 'm sure , mrs. manning . lenore : the worst part for me was losing albert just at that time . you see , he had just retired . al and i had always wanted to live by the ocean . we were talking to real estate agents about selling the house and making our dream come true , but it was too late . lexie : mrs. manning , would you tell us how you handled such a tremendous loss ? lenore : well , i was very sad , as anyone would be who ... really loved her husband . we were best friends . nobody made me laugh like my albert . for the first year or so , i visited our children , which helped a little . but you see , i think a part of me was still expecting albert to walk in the door . when i finally accepted that he was really gone , that 's when i became very down , stopped seeing my friends , got so i would n't even answer the phone when my children called to check up on me . lexie : in other words , you became depressed . lenore : oh , my , yes . got so bad , i did n't even get out of bed some days . lexie : uh , mrs. manning and i met a few months ago when her daughter brought her to the clinic at the hospital . we talked , and i told her about a new medication that i thought might turn things around for her , but she was n't interested at first . would you tell us why , mrs. manning ? lenore : i was brought up to handle my problems by myself . when bad things happened , you got through them as best you could on your own . but dr . carver told me some things that helped open my eyes . lexie : i just reminded mrs. manning that seniors take medication for heart disease , diabetes , and many other physical ailments , so why suffer from depression if there 's a treatment ? lenore : being sad is one thing . not being able to get out of bed in the morning -- that 's when it 's time to ask for help . lexie : if anyone out there watching today would like more information , please speak with your doctor . do n't suffer needlessly . help is available . jennifer : that 's right . we want to thank you , mrs. manning , so much for sharing your story . lenore : i know there are women out there like me who 've lost their husbands , too . maybe we gave them some hope today . jennifer : yes . losing your spouse , mrs. manning , at any age must be one of the most difficult things that you could ever go through .

[ scene_break ] alice : well , tom and i were luckier than most . we had years and years of a happy marriage . what i would n't give to have his arms around me again . jennifer : gram ... have you seen grandpa tom again ? alice : no . no , dear , i have n't , and i have n't heard any children 's voices , too , thank goodness . jennifer : well , that 's good . i 'm glad . and i know all this stuff is just an old wives ' tale , but it still gives me the creeps . lexie : what stuff ? jennifer : you know , all that stuff where they say a ghost comes back and then the ghost says someone 's name , and then supposedly , that particular person is doomed . mickey : mom -- ahem . we 'll see you later , okay ? alice : yes , yes . mickey : you have an appointment , do n't you ? alice : yes , i 'm late for my manicure . mickey : okay . maggie : all right . jennifer : thanks for coming . maggie : okay , sure . mickey : bye - bye . jennifer : bye . gram , excuse us . maggie : mickey , what 's wrong ? mickey : [ sighs ] jennifer : lexie , i hope i did n't seem unprofessional during that interview . i just felt like i was going to lose it every time mrs. manning was speaking . lexie : yeah , me too . jennifer : i really wish jack would have seen it . then he would understand what this investigation is doing to me . lexie : i keep telling abe i 'm scared . i want him off the force now , but he insists on fulfilling his obligation to his job . [ scene_break ] abe : jack , i know why our wives are upset . even without stefano dimera in the mix , we 're in dangerous territory here . jack : what are you talking about ? we 're wearing the white hat . the good guys always win . abe : only in the movies , jack . i should n't have let you get involved in this . you 're not a police officer . there 's no reason for you to risk your life . so just go back to your tv show . with stefano dimera possibly involved in this and victor kiriakis , i mean , these guys -- they just do n't play . they shoot first , they ask questions later . jack : you 're actually trying to scare me off this case . abe : i 'm telling you , jack , stay out of it . i 'll handle things myself from here . no arguments . jack : you actually think i 'm going to quit the biggest case of my career ? you 're crazy . you -- jack : all right . just you and me , baby . we do n't need abe carver . we 'll crack this case all on our own . [ scene_break ] victor : i 'm well aware of the effect that my wife has on other men . you would n't be human if you did n't notice how beautiful she was , and sexy . brady : she is all that , but you are my grandfather , and she is your wife . victor : oh , and you think of her as your dear old step - granny . you think i was born yesterday ? brady : i like nicole . she 's had a hard life , and i worry about the decisions that she makes . that 's as far as my feelings go . victor : all right , fair enough . what about nicole 's feelings for you ? brady : i think she appreciates what i 've done for her . she likes working at the blue note , okay ? it 's not because of me , but because she likes working . she 's a smart woman . it 's a challenge for her . and i think she 's lonely . victor : and she needs you so much . nicole is playing a game with you , brady , and you 're falling for it . do n't . nicole is my wife . she belongs in my bed . are we clear on that ? [ scene_break ] woman : okay , a mushroom omelet and home fries . more coffee ? nicole : i 'm fine . woman # 2 : colin ! colin ! colin , where have you been ?

[ scene_break ] maggie : mickey , please . mickey : maggie -- maggie : tell me what 's wrong . do n't `` maggie `` me . i saw that look on your face when alice was talking about tom . did -- did you see him , too ? did he say your name , mickey ? mickey : no , no . no on both counts . but somebody else -- somebody else saw tom 's ghost . maggie : oh , god . who ? mickey : abe carver . [ scene_break ] [ cellular phone rings ] abe : commander carver . who is this ? well , yes , i would like information about colin murphy 's murder . [ scene_break ] jack : colin murphy 's murder . bingo . [ scene_break ] jennifer : oh , lexie , jack -- jack acted like it was no big deal , but what husband goes and gets a will without even talking to his wife ? it 's like he 's admitting that he 's in danger . lexie : abe just made provisions in his retirement package for me to get an annuity in case he ... oh , god . jennifer : it 's so hard not to be scared , is n't it ? lexie : what if ... one of us ... loses our husband like poor mrs. manning , only much sooner ? [ scene_break ] maggie : abe carver saw tom 's ghost ? mickey : that night at mom 's house when jack called us over . abe told me that tom 's ghost appeared to him , and he called him by name . maggie : [ sobs ] oh . oh , mickey . do you think that old wives ' tale could come true , and that abe is doomed ? [ scene_break ] abe : yes , there is a reward if the tip leads to the arrest of murphy 's murderer . so who should i check out ? [ scene_break ] jack : a new suspect in colin murphy 's murder case . yeah , baby . i just got my next big story . [ scene_break ] victor : you 're a very eligible young man , brady . get out there and mix it up . find a woman you enjoy being with . [ scene_break ] nicole : i want to keep this feeling , brady . i do n't want it to leave . brady : it 's a pretty good feeling , huh ? nicole : it 's way beyond good . i mean , it was like time stood still . okay , here we go . brady : all right . ready ? 1 , 2 , 3 , go . nicole : whee ! oh ! push me as high as you can . higher . i want to go to the moon and never come back . [ scene_break ] brady : you know what , granddad ? you 're right . i do need to get out there and start seeing women . [ scene_break ] [ thud ] nicole : let go ! let go of the gun ! let go ! aah ! nicole : aah ! aah ! aah ! nicole : victor ca n't give me what you can give me . you 're young and kind , and i need you in my life . [ next_on ] philip : why does he hate the brady 's so much ? shawn - d : that 's what dimeras ' do . rex : i hate being a brady . i hate it ! tek : the closer you get to the truth , the closer you get to danger . abe : that 's why i 'm not going to share this information with jack . jack : i 'm on the trail here . i can smell the truth . i just want to finish this . i really like the -- i like ... johnny : personally i think it 's a good thing . | brady and nicole grow close after he comforts her from a bad dream she was having about killing colin but their intimacy is cut short when victor storms in the door calling his wife a whore . he quickly kicks brady out of her room and warns nicole not to attempt to seduce his grandson . victor later has a chat with brady and suspects that he has feelings for his wife . lexie catches abe holding a picture of her `` deceased `` father and finds out that abe believes that stefano is still alive . she tries to convince him that it ca n't be possible but abe still holds on to his suspicions . meanwhile jack gives jennifer more reason to worry over his `` sudden death `` when he makes it a point to take advantage of the `` time `` they have left together . later abe finds jack to warn him that stefano may be alive and expresses his belief that stefano may have been the one behind the attack on bo & hope . caught up in the new news about stefano , jack jumps to the conclusion that he could have also been the one who killed colin murphey but abe shuts down his theory and knows that all the evidence points to the kiriakis mansion . jack then tries to get abe to confide in him about who it is that he suspects for the murder but he sticks to keeping it quiet . to jack 's surprise abe then suggests that jack back himself away from the case against the dimera 's to protect both himself and his family but he is determined not to let the story of his career pass him by . meanwhile , lexie appears as a guest on jennifer 's show , in the house , to talk about the rising epidemic of clinical depression . they invite a woman , mrs. manning , who was treated by lexie to tell her story of depression after her husband died which turns out to be hauntingly similar to what both jennifer and lexie are going through with jack and abe . when mrs. manning pulls out a picture of her late husband and passes it to the two women , they see the faces of their husbands . after the show they confide in each other about their fear that their husbands will die soon . |

[ scene_break ] sister teresa : mary came to the convent seeking guidance . she 's the one who told me about the fairway clinic right before sami gave birth . rafe : you mean she recommended the place ? sister teresa : right . yes , she was also pregnant , you see , planned to have her baby there as well . rafe : did she ? sister teresa : i assume so . i have no way of knowing for sure . rafe : right . all right , then what ? after she recommended the clinic she just what , she disappeared ? sister teresa : well , no , i saw mary again . she ... she came back to the convent . rafe : when ? sister teresa : not long after she had her baby . rafe : why ? sister teresa : she wanted to ... thank me for having given her some comfort . rafe : that 's the only reason ? sister teresa : no . she also came to see grace .

[ scene_break ] sami : okay , i understand that rafe has been acting strange , but ... he 's not dangerous , and i do not need a restraining order . nicole : all right , you wan na know what my theory is ? sami : maybe . nicole : in some sick way , i think rafe blames me for your breakup . and he probably blames me for whatever happened between him and his fiancé . sami : oh , he does not . all right , nicole , never mind . i 'm out of here . nicole : listen , please . i know you do n't wan na hear this , sami . but i do care about you as a friend , and i am just worried that rafe 's gon na hurt you more than he already has . he has some serious problems , and if that were n't true ... you would probably still be a couple . am i wrong ? sami : i just need to be alone . excuse me . nicole : wait , wait , sami , wait , wait . sami : no . nicole , i do n't want to talk about it . i 'm sorry . nicole : i did what i had to do , syd . sami and rafe ca n't be together so that we can be . always and forever . [ scene_break ] rafe : [ sighs ] okay ... so you 're telling me that not only did this mary woman get you to take sami to the clinic , but she also came back to the convent to visit grace ? sister teresa : yes , she did . but ... i do n't understand . what has this got to do with sami and what happened to grace ? rafe : sister theresa , are you gon na be here for a few hours ? sister teresa : i will . why ? rafe : well , because i think pretty soon i 'm gon na have the answer to that question . in fact , i 'll have the answer to all the questions that i have . [ scene_break ] hope : okay , so according to the updated intel ... brenda came to salem recently with her brother kyle . they took up residence at a downtown motel and ... a witness saw her kissing another man very late at night , a few weeks before the kidnapping . dean : has anyone been able to identify the man ? the one she was kidding ? hope : mm - mm . not yet . but it 's a lead i 'm definitely gon na follow up on . dean : detective brady , if it 's all right with you , i 'd like to handle this part of the investigation myself . hope : well , technically , dean , you 're still on medical leave . dean : i know , but i , uh ... i have to do this . i mean , i need to . for ciara . hope : okay then . it 's yours . ah ! [ snaps ] which reminds me . the reason i asked you to come here in the first place ... dean : yes , detective ? hope : i want you to know you 're gon na get that reward money .

[ scene_break ] brady : so arianna , were you looking for me or what ? arianna : well , yeah , i was . yeah , i was , um ... i was actually wondering how melanie was holding up . brady : [ sighs ] not so good . uh , it 's been pretty rough for her because , unfortunately , we were too late . the video got out . stephanie saw it , philip saw it . arianna : oh , god ... brady : so she 's gon na need a lot of support , probably . but hopefully ... hopefully everything 'll work out . arianna : maybe not . brady : yeah , maybe -- i mean . maybe not , but ... hopefully it will . it 's probably the wrong attitude to take . why would we tell melanie to have such low expectations , you know ? arianna : um ... i was n't talking about melanie . i was talking about us . [ scene_break ] dean : look , it 's a nice gesture , detective , but i - i do n't need that money -- hope : no arguments -- it 's happening . dean : i do n't want you to put yourself out there -- hope : you have no say in the matter , dean . you 're getting the money . dean : i was just doing my job , like i 've said -- hope : you saved my daughter 's life . my god , to me that is ... a heck of a lot more than only doing your job . dean : i just wish i could do something for you in return -- hope : you saved ...

[ scene_break ] rafe : well , i got ta hand it to you , nicole . getting sami to leave her own place so you could check out her mail before she did -- now , that is pretty damn clever . nicole : [ laughs ] i do n't even know what you 're talking about . rafe : oh , come on , there 's no one around -- cut the charade . nicole : yeah . i want you to leave . rafe : oh , i bet you do . 'cause i know all about you , nicole . the lies , the games . it 's all gon na come crashing down , you know . nicole : oh , you know , i have had enough with you ! i have tried to be nice to you . i really have . and i have supported your love for sami because at one point , it actually seemed genuine . but obviously , you are a troubled soul , and i know exactly what you 're doing . and i will pray for you that you find someone to help you turn your sorry , pathetic life around . rafe : okay . well , hey , nicole , you know what ? maybe we can pray together . we can go up to that convent of the holy cross . as a matter of fact , i was just there and ran into a mutual friend of ours . sister theresa ? she said to send you her fondest regards . [ scene_break ] brady : you 're talking about us , you and me ? arianna : yes . how is this supposed to work ? with your need to take care of all of these -- these broken women ? i mean , i - it consumes you ! brady : broken women ? what are you -- what the hell are you talking about ? arianna : well , today it 's melanie , right ? and then before it was your ex - wife ? brady : she 's in a coma . you resent the fact that i was concerned about a woman that might have been dying or -- arianna : you know what ? it -- it 's more than concern , though , brady . it 's like you 're obsessed . and then there 's nicole . she says jump , you say how high ? brady : i 'm not with ... any of those women , okay ? you mean more to me than ... any of those women do right now . arianna : that 's a really ... that 's a really nice thought there , okay ? but you know what ? i do n't need rescuing , okay ? i 'm not broken the way that they are . brady : and that 's a bad thing ? i - i 'm ... i 'm not getting your point ! arianna : well , you know what ? let me tell you the point , okay ? there 's this pattern with you , and i 'm actually ... beginning to see it . and i do n't fulfill your need to take care of these women , to be co - dependent , or whatever the word is , so ... we need to take a break . brady : okay . now i wan na know the real reason . arianna : that is the reason . brady : i do n't ... believe you . not a word . arianna : that 's because you are hurt , and i understand that . brady : do n't do it , do n't you pat -- do n't you patronize me . we had a wonderful time the other night , an incredible time . everything was great . this morning you were behind me 100 % when we helped melanie out . everything was fine . and now this . it 's insane ! something else has happened , right ? arianna : yes . something has .

[ scene_break ] rafe : convent of the holy cross . you are familiar with it , yes ? even though it 's on the other side of salem . my old neighborhood . nicole : never heard of it . rafe : hmm . you know how i can tell you 're lying , nicole ? your lips move . nicole : you know what ? i really need you to leave , rafe , okay ? i 've got things to do . rafe : you do n't fool me , nicole . you never have . and while it may have been very clever of you to somehow get that letter that baker sent to sami before she did ... you were n't so clever on this score . nicole : why are you doing this , hmm ? rafe : mm . nicole : do you miss work ? the fbi fired you , so you feel the need to chase every phantom clue that blows through your paranoid cabana ? rafe : yeah , well , maybe you did n't know this , but i also had ties to the convent . then again , you probably were so overwhelmed with trying to hide whatever secret it was that you were keeping that all those lies , they just -- they just caught up to you , did n't they ? nicole : okay , rafe , get out . rafe : no . not until you tell me what you 're up to , nicole . or should i call you mary ? nicole : what ? rafe : hmm ? that 's how you met sister theresa , is n't it ? as mary . and then you got her to take sami down to the fairway urgent care clinic to deliver her baby the very same night that you gave birth . and then afterwards you , uh ... you became kind of a regular , checking in on grace ... what was happening . nicole : that is crazy . i never did any of that . rafe : oh , please ! you knew that sami was carrying e.j . 's baby the whole time she was in witness protection , and you just kept tabs on her . you hovered over her ... like a vulture , just waiting to drop in . and now ... now you 're gon na tell me why , nicole . [ scene_break ] arianna : i spoke to my ex today . after i saw you . and he 's thinking about coming to salem . brady : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry , and what -- what ? you -- you wan na be available to him when he gets here ? arianna : you could put it that way . i guess i , uh ... i 've just realized that i ... i still have feelings for him . brady : arianna , you told me not so long ago how much of a loser drug addict this guy is . how he could n't keep himself clean at all . arianna : yeah , but you know what ? he sounds fine now , you know ? and whatever his failings are or his weaknesses ... we have fun together ... you know ? we laugh . and he 's -- he 's interesting . brady : as opposed to boring , dull me ? is that it ? arianna : [ stammers ] look ... i admit , i am attracted to you , okay ? but ... there is this , um ... [ sniffles ] there 's just this holier - than - thou thing that you 've got going on , and i got ta tell you , it is getting really old . brady : so ... the other night -- is that when you realized all this , arianna ? that i was , uh ... boring , and you 're tired of this ? arianna : okay , well ... we had sex . and it was great . [ sniffles ] but ... brady : but ... please , go on . arianna : sometimes you only have to experience it once . brady : and now that you 've experienced me and us ... you 're done with it now ? arianna : exactly . [ scene_break ] stephanie : well , i am really grateful for what you 've done for ciara , and i 'm glad i got a chance to tell you that . dean : thanks . that means a lot . bo : okay . let 's get you home . you ready ? stephanie : it 's good to see you . hope : good to see you too , sweetheart . stephanie : very nice to meet you . hope : i 'm sorry you had to see that . dean : look , i do n't mean to pry , but there is obviously a lot of tension between you and your husband . hope : it 's not your problem . dean : it is ... in a way . i mean , the truth is is ... i have a great deal of respect for you and the commissioner , and if this reward money is causing problems in any way -- hope : no , no , no , you just stop thinking that way . dean , you saved our daughter 's life . you gave her back to us . and for that ... we will always be eternally grateful to you . it 's just ... dean : what ? hope : i 'm gon na go and get ciara . she 's the real reason i asked you to come over here . dean : oh . i see . hope : she 's starting to remember more and more about the kidnapping , and i ... just thought that it would be really good for her to see you again . the heroic man who saved her . dean : right . okay . if you insist . hope : i do . i do . i 'll be right back , okay ? dean : okay . [ laughs ] a huge reward ? that bitch 's marriage is on the rocks . talk about killing two birds ... [ scene_break ] roman : so did you ask rafe about it , why he and nicole were acting so weird ? sami : yeah . i confronted him after she left , and he was being all secretive and weird . dad , something is definitely not right here . roman : i 'm sorry about this . i know this is hard on you . sami : yeah . it is . i was in love with him . dad , i -- i thought he hung the moon . thought we were perfect for each other . and now nicole is trying to convince me that he is some kind of nut job . roman : well , has she convinced you ? sami : no . no , i ca n't think that about him . but then , i ca n't be objective . i was in love with him . i still am . but , dad , maybe you could be objective . you 're good at this . you can read people ... gauge his motive . what do you think ? does any of this make sense to you ? roman : well ... unfortunately ... yeah . yeah , it kinda does . [ scene_break ] nicole : you are out of your mind . i had no idea that sami gave birth to that baby . i thought she was adopted . and it was n't until after -- [ exhales ] grace died ... that i found out she was sami and e.j . 's kid , okay ? just like everyone else . rafe : well , sister theresa seems to think otherwise . nicole : well , i do n't know sister theresa , okay ? i 've never met the woman , and i have never been in that convent . rafe : well , then why would she say that she knows you ? nicole : because she 's lying . rafe : ha . nicole : and you know what 's more likely is that you , being the sick , twisted troublemaker that you are ... you managed to convince some poor , put - upon nun to have some sort of false memory . rafe : nope . nicole : no ? rafe : no . did n't convince her at all . she simply told the truth , which actually ... it 's what nuns do . i think actually being honest is part of their job description . nicole : hmm . rafe : mm - hmm . nicole : well , i do n't care what you think ... because we 're done . in fact , i 'm calling the police . rafe : better idea -- call e.j . nicole : what ? rafe : i 'll call sami , and we can each tell our side of the story . nicole : oh , that 's ridiculous . rafe : you know what , i 'll call for you . just , uh ... let me have the number . i think not . nicole : i am not dignifying your insane accusations by arguing with you anymore . you have no proof . it is just your vicious , angry word against mine . rafe : really ? i think you 're forgetting about sister theresa . now , come on , nicole , just think , okay ? there 's a way that we can break this riddle wide open . now , all we have to do is get you and sister theresa in the same room . matter of fact , she 's waiting at the convent for us right now . so what do you say ? let 's end this mystery once and for all . [ scene_break ] brady : get out . get out . arianna : brady , just ... i do think that you 're a really good person . and i sincerely hope -- brady : get ... out . now .

stefano : go ahead , say it . you want him to die . sami : do you really want to do this now ? stefano : and if i did n't know that you had an alibi , courtesy of your boy scout here , i 'd still think you are the one who have put him here . rafe : well , she did n't . she was with me , so back off . stefano : yes , you were sleeping . i promise you , samantha , that i 'm going to find out who did this , and when i do ... that person is going to die in pain and alone . daniel : the hematocrit can give us an hourly basis of any internal bleeding in the -- [ monitor beeping ] stefano : [ breathes deeply ] daniel : no change for now , mr. dimera . we 're monitoring any internal bleeding . his brain functions are still diminished , but patterns are holding . stefano : i do n't want to hear about functions , patterns . i want to hear ... when is he going to wake up ? daniel : i 'm afraid i ca n't tell you that , sir . all i can say is everything that can be done is being done , and it 's going to stay that way until this situation resolves itself . excuse me .

[ chuckles ] certainly is n't brains and wit , god knows . so , uh , perhaps it 's a man . something 's going on here . and it 's only a matter of time before i find out what it is . carly : last warning , vivian . vivian : oh , chloe , your new friend is being so protective . it 's really a shame that she does n't know how open you were to my suggestion . carly : you just go from bad to worse . what are you talking about ? vivian : why do n't you let your new bff tell you the details ? ciao . chloe : um , carly ... [ sighs ] i - i think i need to tell you something . [ scene_break ] melanie : why would it be your fault , uh , that vivian 's trying to get all gooey with me ? maggie : because victor and i have become friends , and she is jealous . melanie : of you ? maggie : mm , she 's insecure . stop it . obviously she feels that if she ingratiates herself in victor 's family that he 'll be inclined to see her in a good light . melanie : well , if she wants to ingratiate herself with me , she better stay out of my way . maggie : well , i do n't think you have to worry about that , because once i 'm gone , she wo n't feel threatened anymore , and she 'll stop being a pest . melanie : good ... i think .

[ sighs ] look , carly , you -- you really went out on a limb and helped me with this paternity test and making sure that daniel did n't find out about it ... so i owe you the truth . carly : about ? chloe : what i almost did to you . [ scene_break ] daniel : there are no easy answers , sami . there 's not even guidelines to follow , 'cause every case , every person is different . sami : so there 's no way to know for sure ? daniel : look at it this way . when chloe was in a coma , several doctors told lucas that she would be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life . he almost pulled the plug . sami : but she made it back . daniel : yeah . yeah , she did , and in her case , she was breathing on her own . ej 's situation is entirely different . if his brain functions drop significantly or cease entirely ... sami : that 's when i 'll know ? daniel : maybe . i wish i could be definitive ... but i ca n't . sami : okay . look , i understand . thank you .

[ laughs ] [ sobbing ] [ scene_break ] vivian : [ sighing ] oh . oh , philip , how wonderful to see you . if you 're looking for victor , he stepped out . philip : i came to see you . vivian : oh , that 's so nice . son comes to visit . philip : i am not your son ! vivian : i carried you for nine months for -- philip : shut up . shut up and listen . you stay away from my wife , okay ? no run- intos , no bump - intos , nothing . are we clear ? vivian : oh , dear , i guess melanie told you about my offering to help with chloe 's shower . philip : she does n't want you anywhere near her , and god knows i do n't either . i mean it , vivian -- final warning . next time , i will do whatever it takes to make sure you never see melanie again . vivian : well , all right , fine . i can drop the shower business . i have enough on my hands with my plans for isabella . philip : excuse me ? vivian : oh , your father did n't tell you . i 'm planning a lovely tribute for his late daughter , your lovely sister . i am having her remains moved and put into a magnificent sarcophagus . she will be prominently displayed . is n't that nice ? philip : isabella 's been dead a very long time , vivian . what 's your game ? vivian : game ? philip : do n't give me that blank look . what the hell are you up to ? [ scene_break ] maggie : what do you mean , you think it 's good ? i thought you did n't want vivian in your life . melanie : yeah , but i want you in my life . maggie : it 's just a little trip . i 'm not gon na be gone forever . melanie : but i 'm gon na miss you . maggie : i 'm gon na miss you too . i 'm gon na book this trip today . it 's that important . melanie : today ? why -- why would you -- it 's because of victor , huh ? [ scene_break ] rafe : hey . any news ? sami : no . dr. jonas said that when the time comes , i 'll know what to do . rafe : hmm . well , stefano will never say that it 's time to let go . so you 're gon na have to be the one who decides ... for ej ... and for the kids . [ scene_break ] stefano : [ crying ] be strong . you can do this . you have to do this for the children . you hear me ? i do n't know who shot you , elvis , but ... they shot the wrong man . i should be lying here instead of you . [ sobs ] if i could only take your place , eh ? [ scene_break ] ian : all right , i 'm in . stephanie : great . now can you tell me if philip 's the one who changed the results from negative to positive ? ian : [ sighs ] nothing came into st. mary 's from titan , so it definitely was n't philip . stephanie : really ? ian : whoever changed the results , they -- they came in from -- from somewhere else , i mean , from a different server ... unless it was done internally . stephanie : but philip is the most logical . i mean , he 's the father , not daniel , and now the results say the exact opposite . who else would want to keep this secret safe ? melanie did n't know . daniel did n't know . oh , my god . [ scene_break ] melanie : maggie ! maggie : oh . oh , no , no , no , no , now . victor has got nothing to do with this . i 've been planning this trip for months . it 's time , that 's all . melanie : no , i do n't believe that . something happened with you and victor . maggie : melanie . melanie : i mean , why else would vivian start feeling the need to mark her territory ? and all of a sudden , you 're gon na go grab a plane today ? maggie : the trip has got nothing to do with victor . now , the subject is closed . [ scene_break ] vivian : philip , sweetheart , i 'm not up to anything . maybe i 'm just trying too hard to convince victor and all the others that i 'm -- that i care , that i 'm proud to be part of the family . philip : oh , wake up , vivian ! nobody cares about you , and nobody cares about what you think . vivian : that 's not true . the problem is ... well , i figured out what -- what is really wrong , and that is that no one will give me a second chance , except for my beloved husband . philip : you tried to kill my wife , vivian . and now you 've come up with this ludicrous idea of moving my sister 's body to some sarcophagus . what , do you think that is gon na impress my father ? you ca n't fix a marriage made in hell by moving dead bodies around , vivian . victor : what 's going on here ? [ scene_break ] stefano : i will never give up on you . fight , my son . fight . and do n't worry . i 'll find who did this to you . i love you . fight . [ scene_break ] sami : i do n't want to decide this . i ca n't . rafe : i understand . some things ... you just have to let them play out . you think , um ... sami : what ? rafe : well , maybe if you went in there and , i do n't know , sat next to him , maybe you 'd have a better idea of what to do . sami : right , and if it were anyone but ej , i 'm sure that would help , but it 's not . it 's ej and those damn machines . rafe : well , those machines are keeping him alive . sami : right . and if i tell the doctors , they 're gon na turn them off . rafe : look , if he 's gon na die anyway ... why not just let him go ? it 'd make life easier ... for everyone . [ scene_break ] daniel : oh , come -- come on in , beautiful . melanie : hello . daniel : so what 's up ? melanie : well , i thought i would stop by and tell you that i 'm throwing a baby shower for chloe , and if you 're good , i 'll invite you . daniel : i 'll try to be good . melanie : [ giggles ] carly 's gon na help too . daniel : really ? melanie : mm - hmm . daniel : well , you just turned an otherwise stressful day right around . it sounds like you and chloe are actually getting close . melanie : yeah , i guess we are . daniel : yeah , and the fact that chloe and carly are now getting along is like ... icing on the cake . [ scene_break ] ian : wait , you know who changed the test results ? stephanie : it has to be the one who had just as much to lose as philip -- chloe . ian : the mother of the baby . stephanie : right . ian : well , does she have the smarts to do that ? stephanie : no , but she could find a friend . ian : kind of like you did . stephanie : yeah . but you 're the best friend in the whole world . ian : thanks . but hey , you 've , um , done me favors , so ... stephanie : so we 're even now , right ? ian : right . and i guess this pretty much wraps it up . i mean , if anybody wants to keep the results secret , it 's the mother . stephanie : yeah , except for the fact that chloe is the biggest blabbermouth . i do n't really trust her to keep the secret to herself . plus , i have to make sure that it was really her . [ scene_break ] chloe : this is really hard for me to talk about . carly : chloe , i can see that , but it 's out there now . so what is it you tried to do to me ? chloe : when i thought that you and daniel were sleeping together and lying and i slept with another guy ... vivian started saying all this crazy stuff , and i ... carly : what ? chloe : well , um , i ... i sort of ... tried to kill you . [ scene_break ] philip : well , your new bride is getting an earful from me about staying away from my wife and out of my life for good . vivian : philip , i know you 'll always be somewhat distrustful of me , but you have to know that i have only your family 's best interest at heart . philip : oh , you do n't have a heart , vivian . [ scene_break ] stefano : where do you think you are going ? sami : well , stefano , i 'm going to go sit with ej for a little bit . stefano : you are never to go into that room , ever . lexie : okay , father , stop it . you ca n't dictate who goes into ej 's room . stefano : i am his father . lexie : sami is his legal medical guardian . stefano : oh , for the love of god . lexie : do i have to call security ? stefano : i 'll be watching you . sami : fine , you do that . stefano : my son is helpless in there . rafe : mm - hmm . stefano : and your new fiancée has brought nothing but pain and ugliness in his life . rafe : well , at least she did n't kidnap his baby daughter . now , if you 're looking for someone to blame as to why ej got shot , why do n't you look in the mirror ? stefano : what ? rafe : yeah . for all we know , the wrong dimera got shot last night . as far as i 'm concerned , i wish whoever was responsible for this would 've wiped out the entire dimera clan . [ scene_break ] sami : you are johnny 's dad . you 're sydney 's dad . how could you -- i ca n't believe i did this . [ silenced gunshot ] [ scene_break ] vivian : [ sighs ] i do care about you , philip , and victor . aside from lawrence , you 're all i have . that 's why maggie horton 's going on a long , long trip ... to nowhere . [ scene_break ] philip : why is she still here ? i mean , okay , something weird was going on at the wedding , but , i mean , that 's got to be over with by now , right , dad ? victor : philip , i would appreciate it if you do n't ask me questions i ca n't answer . philip : oh , you can . you just wo n't . [ sighs ] look , i do n't know what the hell is going on here , but i do know this -- there 's got to be somebody out there that you can love -- i mean , you know , really love . somebody who 'd actually make you happy . whatever . i 'll see you . maggie : i 'm going on this trip for us ... and not for whatever silly stuff is going on with victor . [ scene_break ] ian : we just proved that philip was n't the one that changed the results , so , i mean , is n't chloe the next logical suspect ? stephanie : i suppose . i mean , she did sleep with philip and , uh , cheat on daniel , so i 'd imagine that that slut would n't want anyone to find out . ian : but still ... stephanie : what ? ian : well , i mean , you just said she 's a big blabbermouth . so if that 's true , i mean , eventually she 's gon na slip up , and everybody 's gon na know the truth . stephanie : no , i can never let that happen . [ scene_break ] carly : you tried to kill me ? chloe : please let me explain . carly : as in actual murder ? chloe : yeah , but it was a complete lapse in judgment . i was not thinking straight . carly : i ca n't believe i 'm hearing this . chloe : i am so sorry . it was a huge mistake , and i have regretted it ever since . carly : chloe , what exactly did you try to do to me ? [ scene_break ] stefano : my son is in there fighting for his life , and you -- lexie : okay , okay , okay , stop it , stop it , both of you . okay , no one needs this right now . back off , rafe ! rafe : all right , i 'm sorry . abe : lex , lex , lex . lexie : oh , abe , i 'm so glad you 're here . kate : what 's going on ? stefano : this trash here is gloating over the fact that my son is on his deathbed . lexie : ej , um ... he 's on life support . he has diminished brain activity . he ... [ sighs ] he may not -- he may not -- sami : oh , my god , what have i done ? lexie ! lexie ! somebody ! sami : lexie ! oh , my god , lexie , hurry ! rafe : what 's going on ? what 's going on ? sami : i do n't know . i do n't know . lexie : ej ? ej ? sami : i was just talking to him , lexie , and -- and he opened his eyes . lexie : rafe , please . rafe : all right , come on . come on , let 's wait outside . sami : okay . lexie : ej . ej , can you hear me ? ej , honey , can you hear me ? ej ? ej ! sami : i do n't believe this . i mean , i - i do n't believe this . stefano : what happened ? rafe : ej opened his eyes . stefano : [ gasps ] my god . d - d - does that mean ... ? sami : he 's waking up . he must be waking up . [ scene_break ] stephanie : if chloe is the one who changed the paternity results , i will talk to her . i 'll just tell her that i 'll do everything i can to keep her secret . ian : yeah , i mean , but first , you need to prove that it 's her . stephanie : yeah , how do i do that ? nathan : uh - oh , guess who 's on break . hi , ian . ian : what 's going on ? nathan : not much . what 's going on with you ? and , uh , why are you here a - again ? [ scene_break ] chloe : well ... let me start at the beginning . [ sighs ] i was hit with a lot of things all at the same time -- finding out i probably could n't have children and then the hysterical pregnancy and then finding out that daniel had a child with you . i 'd never felt so jealous or insecure over someone my whole life . you had given daniel the one thing i thought i never could . [ voice breaking ] and then vivian found out how much i hated you , and you know what happened next . carly : she tricked you . she made you think daniel and i were having an affair . chloe : yeah , and that led me to sleep with another man , and you found out and started pressuring me to tell daniel about it . carly : you wanted to get rid of me for good . chloe : i was desperate , okay ? i did n't know what i was doing . i just -- i could n't bear the thought of losing daniel . i 'm really ashamed . carly : you still did n't tell me what you were trying to do . how did you try to kill me ? chloe : it 's too horrible to even say . you find out , you 'll never speak to me again . and you 'll probably go to daniel and tell him . but after what i did ... i would n't blame you . [ scene_break ] maggie : sorry i did n't call . i was in the neighborhood , and i wanted to drop this off . it 's for the baby . daniel : well , uh , thank you . but why -- melanie : hey , maggie , i did n't know you were coming over . maggie : i was delivering a baby gift . daniel : is n't that thoughtful ? and speaking of thoughtful , guess who 's throwing a baby shower for chloe . maggie : i heard . that 's so sweet . melanie : yeah . i wish you could come . maggie : what , have you been bad ? melanie : [ laughs ] no , she has n't . she 's going away . and that just breaks my heart . [ scene_break ] vivian : oh . gus : madame , do you really want to be doing this ? vivian : broken record , gus . gus : but the last time you put someone in a coffin -- vivian : oh , please stop talking about the last time . practice makes perfect . besides , i 'm not trying to kill anyone . i 'm just playing with maggie . gus : playing with her ? you 're planning on driving the poor woman insane . vivian : the poor woman shamelessly threw herself at my husband , no , i 'm afraid maggie has made her bed , and now she 's going to have to , as they say , lie in it . [ scene_break ] sami : oh , my god . oh , my god . i ca n't believe this is happening . i ca n't believe he was just lying there , a - a - and then he -- stefano : and then -- then what ? sami : he told you , he -- he opened his eyes . stefano : and you wished he had n't . sami : no . no , of course not . do n't say that . stefano : oh , cut out the act , samantha . we all know how you feel about my son . and in your heart , you do n't want him to make it , because if he does , you know what is going to happen . [ scene_break ] chloe : do you remember the night of victor and vivian 's wedding ? carly : unfortunately , yes . chloe : well , you ordered me to tell daniel about my fling . carly : yeah , i did . go on . chloe : well , vivian overheard me , and she offered to help me take care of you . so she gave me a number to this man who was supposed to be really good at making elevators malfunction . carly : that night in the hospital , the elevator crashing ? chloe : yeah , it was n't an accident . it was meant to kill you . [ scene_break ] ian : i 'll catch you later , steph . stephanie : yeah , i 'll call you . nathan : you know , up until recently , i 'd never even heard of your pal ian before , and now he 's here all the time . what 's , uh ... i mean , what 's up with that ? stephanie : nothing . i told you , he 's helping me with the hospital 's new computer software . i did n't realize how difficult it was gon na be . nathan : right . come on , you 're not telling me the whole truth . [ scene_break ] daniel : where are you going ? maggie : um , a vacation , you know , just to get away for a while . [ cell phone rings ] melanie : shoot , it 's the caterer i tried to call . i 'll be right back . maggie : okay . daniel : okay . well , are you gon na be gone for a while ? maggie : i 'm not sure . um , i 'm just gon na kind of play it by ear . daniel : are you ? okay , well , have you been planning this ? because it seems a little sudden . maggie : um ... well , you know , no , i just -- i 've been wanting to get away . and then this , you know ... this trip ... mickey and i -- we had planned to take it right before he died . [ chuckles ] so i just thought that maybe it would be ... comforting in a way . daniel : hey . maggie : okay , okay , what ? all right , why are you looking at me that way ? daniel : i just think that , i mean , going on a trip that you were going to take with mickey ... look , is it -- is it presumptuous for me to say that i do n't think it will be comforting ? in fact , i think it will be , uh , difficult , actually . maggie : no , it 's not presumptuous . you lost your wife . so you do have experience with grief . [ sighs ] you could be right . daniel : is there another reason you 're leaving town ? victor : you know , it 's very dangerous to disobey me , so listen carefully . no matter what it takes , i order you to have fun today . am i clear ? then let our adventure begin . [ scene_break ] sami : stefano , i do not want ej to die . he is the father of two of my children . stefano : that 's exactly why you want him to die , because you would love nothing more than to have the children to yourself . sami : oh , that is ridiculous , okay ? ej is the one -- stefano : alexandra , did he wake up ? is he going to be all right ? [ scene_break ] carly : you 're not getting away with it this time . will : i know what you did . rafe : so i 'm gon na make you pay for what you 've done to sami . | stefano , sami , and rafe got in an argument . stefano threatened to kill the person who shot ej . ej 's condition did n't change . daniel did n't know when ej was going to wake up . chloe and carly tried to throw vivian out of the pub . vivian wanted to know why chloe and carly are suddenly buddies . vivian was determined to find out why they are getting along . vivian dropped a hint that chloe helped try to kill carly . when vivian left , chloe wanted tot ell carly something . sami asked daniel about ej . since there was n't a change , sami did n't know whether or not to pull the plug . she wanted to know when it was the right time to pull the plug . ian was n't able to check to see who changed the paternity test results right away . chloe recapped to carly about vivian tricking her into thinking that carly slept with daniel . chloe felt she owed carly the truth after everything carly has done for her . daniel told sami that there 's no right decision on whether to pull the plug on ej . if ej 's brain functioning gets worse , he suggested that sami should pull the plug . stefano opened up to ej about him being his favorite son . stefano broke down and cried over ej . philip went to see vivian and warned her to stay away from melanie . he was going to do whatever it takes to make sure she never speaks to melanie again . she told him about her plans to move isabella in the sarcophagus . ian found out philip did n't change the results from titan . stephanie tried to figure out who could have changed the results . philip flipped out on vivian for thinking that she should be given a second chance . victor interrupted them to find out what was going on with them . rafe suggested that sami pull the plug on ej if he is going to die anyway . he thought it would be better for everyone . sami looked as if she liked the idea . |
abigail : there you are . thank god . [ door shuts ] abigail : i really need to talk to you . chad : i ca n't , not right now , okay ? they just called . sami 's trial just started . i 'm going there right now to testify . abigail : oh , my god . what an awful day . chad : look , i got a text from sonny . he and will ... they both got called in for today . melinda : and am i correct that you knew about the video of your mother attacking the victim detective bernardi ? will : [ softly ] yeah , but ... melinda : i 'm sorry , i did n't hear you . will : yes , i knew about the video . melinda : and given the incriminating nature of the video , you lied to police , covering up that the video even existed . justin : objection . argumentative . judge sims : nice try , mr. kiriakis . answer the question , son . will : no , i did not tell anybody about the video . melinda : in point of fact , you lied under oath . but with good reason , of course . you were trying to help your mother cover up the fact that she murdered detective bernardi . justin : objection . melinda : just like three years ago , when you helped her cover up the fact that she shot ej dimera in the head . justin : your honor ! melinda : your honor , i 'm establishing a pattern here . the defendant has a history of trying to solve her problems with a gun and getting the witness here to lie about it , to aid and abet , to obstruct justice . but you and your mother are n't getting away with it this time . this time , you 're going straight to prison . judge sims : guard , escort the witness to a holding cell . sami : what ? no ! no ! you ca n't do that ! will : i 'm sorry , mom . sami : will , no . sonny : will . move it . sonny : will . will , hey , wake up . will , wake up , you 're having a nightmare . hey , you 're having a nightmare . it 's okay . will : oh , my god . that was awful . sonny : look , it was just a dream . whatever it was is not going to happen . will : well , i hope not . be seated ! judge sims : today 's docket ? the state versus samantha brady , for the murder of detective joseph bernardi . [ gavel bangs ] brady : i know you think you know eric better than anyone in the world , but he 's my brother . nicole : he 's your brother , but he 's not crazy . he is not gon na marry you and kristen dimera . brady : well , i happen to think he will . and give us his blessing . eric : there 's something else that we need to talk about . kristen : yes , this pre - cana thing ? eric : brady told you about that ? kristen : yeah . and i would really like it if you would tell him that you thought it over and that the answer is no . eric : you want me to tell my brother that i wo n't let you take pre - cana counseling at st. luke 's , and i wo n't be the one to marry you ? kristen : exactly . eric : are your objections on any religious grounds ? kristen : [ laughs ] no . my objections are personal . will : the look on my mom 's face as i was being led away was the worst part . sonny : yeah , well , that 's a crappy dream , but it 's just a dream . it 's not an omen . will : where 's gabi ? is n't she supposed to be back with ari by now ? sonny : yeah , and i talked to her , and everything 's under control . will : okay , i find that hard to believe . sonny : well , child care - wise , everything 's under control . [ sighs ] look , i do n't want to testify against your mom either . will : my guess is that before you met me , you never needed immunity from prosecution . sonny : yeah , no , that 's true . i mean , before you were in my life , it was perfect , and then you came along and screwed everything up . will : thanks . sonny : everything is gon na be okay . i promise you we 're gon na get through this together . and you look fantastic . will : thanks . well , when this is over , i 'm never lying for my mom again . i 'll only lie for you . i hate secrets . melinda : i will prove that the defendant lied and continues to lie . i will prove that she had the motive , means and opportunity to murder detective bernardi . murder , ladies and gentlemen . that is what we are talking about in this case . she murdered marge bernardi 's husband . she murdered timmy bernardi 's father , a decorated hero of the salem police department . she took a sacred human life . and for that , she must pay . justin : so we hear the prosecutor say my client samantha brady lies . but here 's what she did n't say : that samantha brady is stupid . because she 's not . no , she 's far from it . so if , indeed , samantha brady is not stupid , why in the world would she shoot a man in a hospital room , knowing there was no viable means of escape ? because she had to . she had no choice . she had to stop bernardi right then and there . and why would she say that bernardi was holding a razor , if he was n't ? why would she make up something like that unless she knew that it could be corroborated ? why not just say that bernardi was choking detective hernandez or smothering him ? i mean , why invent a fictitious weapon ? she said so , ladies and gentlemen , because it 's the truth . and every time you ask yourself `` why ? `` during the course of this trial , the only answer is that samantha brady is telling the truth . chad : so what is it ? what 's wrong ? abigail : i 'm fine . and you 're gon na be fine . the important thing is that the lawyer got you immunity . chad : yeah , i just hate doing this to will 's mom . he 's so worried about her and his little brother and sisters and -- abigail : hey , chad . you did everything that you could to avoid this . so maybe now the best thing that you can do is just get it over with . chad : and get on with our lives , right ? i 'll text you later . tell me what 's wrong then , okay ? abigail : okay . nicole : the whole world , with the exception of you , of course , knows that kristen dimera is crazy . she 's a whack job , out there where the buses do n't run . brady : and you are the poster child for mental health , right ? nicole : and apparently it 's contagious , because you 're just as crazy as she is now . [ sighs ] [ softly ] after everything that she has done to your family , you really wan na do this whole death - till - you - part thing ? you do know that kristen sees death as a viable alternative to divorce ? brady : i 'm glad convent life has mellowed you out , nicole . nicole : i just have to accept the fact that she 's got her hooks in you . but eric ? why would eric wan na marry the two of you ? why ? i can just imagine how she got this sicko idea -- brady : it was n't her idea . it was my idea . eric : okay . just fyi ... guys like me are n't supposed to lie . kristen : well , that 's good , because i 'm not asking you to lie . eric : yes , you are , and it 's not even for a good reason . why do n't you just tell brady you do n't wan na do this ? kristen : look , he asked you before he talked to me . eric : another good reason to turn down this idea . kristen : but i 'm not asking you to lie , okay ? it 's to spare brady 's feelings . this whole pre - cana wedding thing ca n't happen . it would just be a whole lot easier if it came from you . abigail : wh -- cameron , please do n't go . cameron : uh , is , uh , everything okay with chad ? he -- he seemed upset . abigail : yeah , would n't you be too , if you were going through everything that he was going through ? cameron : [ sighs ] now tell me , what did your doctor have to say ? chad : no one else can know about this . not my family , not abigail , not will or sonny . cameron : why ? chad : because i do n't want anyone 's pity . that 's why . cameron : you mean -- chad : you were right about the brain tumor . turns out i 'm dying . cameron : so he finally told you the truth ? abigail : the truth ? melinda : the state calls chad dimera . ej : justin , why are they calling chad ? why are n't they calling abe or hope or somebody who could testify that ... sami : that i knew bernardi and i was lying about it ? justin : no , she does n't wan na call anyone who might open the door to the money that was found in bernardi 's son 's account . do you swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? chad : i do . melinda : the state would like to introduce exhibit `` a. `` mr. dimera , did you record a video of samantha brady on may 7th of this year ? chad : yes . melinda : and can you tell us who else is in the video ? chad : detective bernardi . melinda : again , mr. dimera , so the jury can hear you . chad : detective bernardi . melinda : thank you . your honor , i request permission to play this video , to show the jury what happened weeks before detective bernardi 's murder . nicole : you want eric to marry you and kristen . this was your idea . brady : yeah , yeah . nicole : okay , wait . what ? brady : what ? what ? nicole : what is wrong with you ? brady : you know , i forgot . i 'm being a friend here . and i told you the truth . but you 're not being a friend , nicole . you 're the president and founder of the kristen dimera defamation committee , and i 'm sick of it . nicole : no , no . i am your friend , and i just want what 's best for you , and that 's to not marry that woman . brady : i do n't want to hear it anymore ! nicole : okay , all right . let 's just take kristen out of the equation , okay ? brady : fine . nicole : what about eric ? think about what this would do to him . you 're asking eric to marry you to the woman who tried to kill his mother . brady : do n't think that that has n't slipped my mind , all right . we 're all trying to move on here . nicole : fine , then move on . okay , marry -- marry her . just leave eric out of this . do n't put him in a position where he has to say no to you . brady : nicole , you know what ? i already asked him . nicole : oh , you did ? brady : yeah . nicole : oh , well , then how did it feel to have your brother the priest laugh in your face ? brady : he did n't laugh in my face . as a matter of fact , he 's thinking about it . and for your information , kristen is the problem . she 's the one that has the issues with this . and they 're talking about it right now as we speak . eric : i 'm not gon na sin to smooth your path . kristen : come on , father . i 'm not asking you to knock over a bank . eric : why are you so against the idea ? i mean , it seems to me that you 'd want me to be backing you up . kristen : [ slaps eric gently ] i just think that the less time you and i spend together , the better it will be . for brady , for me , and for you . ng we are flintstones kids cameron : well , i 'm glad he finally told you . abigail : what do you mean `` finally `` ? he tells me everything . he 's told me everything from the very beginning . cameron : really ? abigail : yes . he does n't want to testify against will 's mom , but we knew that we had to go to court sometime . cameron : [ sighs ] the trial , yeah . abigail : yes , the trial . i really do n't need you giving me trouble about chad right now , okay ? not now . cameron : abigail , what 's wrong ? abigail : chad tried really hard to keep me out of this whole video thing . why is everything so screwed up all the time ? cameron : okay , what is wrong ? abigail : i should probably just tell you anyway . it 's gon na be all over the paper , and i ca n't really keep it a secret . jj ... cameron : what about jj ? abigail : i just -- i feel like i do n't even know him anymore . melinda : nicely done , mr. scorsese . justin : your honor . judge sims : watch it , ms . trask . melinda : sorry . mr. dimera , you made that video on your phone , did n't you ? chad : yes . melinda : can you explain why you did n't come forward when ms . brady was first charged ? let me remind you that you lose your immunity if you lie under oath . chad : well , it sort of made ms . brady look ... i mean , it made it clear she knew the guy . melinda : you had to stop yourself from saying `` guilty `` just now , right ? justin : your honor . judge sims : watch it , ms . trask , and i mean it . melinda : mr. dimera , did your brother , ms . brady 's fiancé , know about the video as well ? chad : yes . melinda : what did he advise you to do ? chad : leave it alone . melinda : in other words , he advised you not to go to police . is that correct ? chad : yes . melinda : how would you describe ms . brady 's demeanor during the attack ? justin : your honor . melinda : in your judgment , mr. dimera , since you witnessed it in person . we need to make sure the camera did n't lie . judge sims : answer the question . chad : she was ... angry . melinda : mm , just one more question , mr. dimera . why did you take this video ? chad : i thought it was funny . melinda : now that the man she attacked in the video is dead , do you still think it 's funny ? justin : your honor . melinda : withdrawn . i have no more questions for this witness . judge sims : mr. kiriakis ? justin : i have no questions for this witness at this time . judge sims : witness is dismissed . [ bangs gavel ] sami : [ whispering ] why did n't you cross - examine him ? justin : because anything chad says would only dig you in deeper . sonny : 12-year - old fishing magazine . st the thing to pass the time . hey , i 'm not trying to be insensitive . will : i know . sonny : you know that , okay ? i 'm just trying to distract you , so you do n't implode . so ... [ inhales , exhales ] take a deep breath . will : i will . sonny : everything 's gon na be okay . will : this is my fault though , i think . sonny : here we go again . will : no , listen to me . listen to me . if i had n't have slept with gabi , then she would n't be pregnant , the wedding would n't have blown up , my mom would n't have broken up with rafe , right ? rafe would n't have had sex with grandma , and then stefano would n't have come after rafe . sonny : i - i think you could make prop 8 your fault . will : i 'm being serious . sonny : i do n't think you see that that chain of thoughts -- it 's a little egocentric . all the choices that your mother and rafe and stefano and kate -- it does n't matter . just that you slept with gabi . will : i 'm not -- sonny : okay , but think about the choices we 've made , and where those choices have led us . we get to go to bed every night together . and we get to wake up and take care of that beautiful baby girl . and for the record , if we could rewind and i could go back and stop you from sleeping with gabi , i would n't . i would n't , because i would lose too much that i love if that had n't happened . [ door opens ] jackson kiriakis . sonny : here , there 's a great article on creels . i think you 're gon na love it . i 'll see you in a little bit . will : grandma sami 's gon na be here any minute , okay , sweetheart ? okay . we should really come here me . sonny : we come here as often as we can , will . will : i know , it 's not enough . [ door opens ] sami : there you are . will : hey . sami : bless you for coming . will : hey ! mom , what happened ? sami : i 'm so happy to see you . and you . hi , sweetheart . did you miss me ? i missed you so much . i missed you all . more than you know . sonny : all right , come on . let 's go sit down for a second , okay ? will : what are these bruises ? what are they doing to you ? sami : hey , will . no matter what happens , this is not your fault . and i want you to promise that you wo n't feel guilty . you have nothing to feel -- will : wait , what do you mean , `` no matter what happens `` ? sami : [ whispering ] i ca n't spend the rest of my life like this . i just ca n't . time 's up ! will : no , no , no . okay , wait , wait , wait . sami : i love you . will : no , time 's not up . sami : will , i love you so much . will : what do you mean , `` time 's up `` ? sami : i love you , sweetheart ! will : i love you . hey ! she just got here ! sonny : all right , it 's gon na be okay , all right ? it 's gon na be okay . it 's gon na be okay . nicole : okay , well , that 's a good thing . because as soon as kristen opens her lying , hypocritical mouth , eric will realize what a phony , selfish , destructive bitch she is . brady : yeah , what could be more selfish and destructive than establishing a scholarship fund for kids ? nicole : oh , please . that 's just a protective covering . writing a check , it -- that 's not giving back , it 's buying goodwill . [ sighs ] brady , i am your friend ... brady : are you my friend ? nicole : yes , we are . bra : are you sure about that ? nicole : i do n't want to see kristen hurt you again . [ sighs ] okay , let 's -- let 's switch gears here . please think about what you 're doing to eric . what kind of brother would put his own brother , a priest , who does everything for everyone else , in an impossible position ? brady : i 'm so over this . nicole : no , i 'm not gon na let you do this . brady : this is not your call ! nicole : yes , it is ! brady : this is not your business ! back off ! eric : you know , i do n't understand why you 'd want to spend less time together . i thought we 'd be working quite well together on the scholarship program . kristen : we have been ! we have been . but , you know , contrary to most people 's opinions , i 'm not always completely selfish . i do consider other people 's feelings . and how do you think marlena felt when she found out that brady and i were engaged again ? i have been afraid to ask how she took the news that you and i were working together . eric : we 've had better conversations . kristen : exactly . so you marrying brady and me would only cause more pain and upset . eric : [ sighs ] kristen : frankly , i 'm stunned you did n't shut him down when he initially proposed it . eric : it crossed my mind . kristen : so do it now . eric : no . if you wan na stop it , it 's your choice . but i wo n't . melinda : is right for you . sonny : so help me god . melinda : mr. kiriakis . is it all right if i call you `` sonny `` ? we would n't want the jury to get confused between the witness and the counsel for the defense . sonny : sure . you can call me whatever you 'd like . melinda : great . now , sonny , you , like mr. dimera , are testifying today with immunity . sonny : yes . melinda : good thing . criminal obstruction can result in some pretty severe sentencing . sonny : i did not seek immunity . it was arranged without my knowledge . melinda : an advantage of having strong ties to the legal community . sonny : it was your office that did it , ms . trask . and i do n't have any ties to you . melinda : and what is your relationship with chad dimera ? sonny : business partner . melinda : do you remember what your business partner said to you when he gave you the video ? sonny : that i should know ... what i 'm getting into . melinda : i do n't understand . why would he warn you like that ? sonny : sami brady is will horton 's mother . melinda : and what is your relationship to ms . brady 's son ? sonny : he 's my partner . melinda : i thought you just said that chad dimera was your partner . sonny : chad dimera 's my business partner . will is my life partner . my lover . melinda : and what instructions did ej dimera give you , specifically in terms of your partner will horton ? sonny : he did n't want me to tell will about it . melinda : so you did n't ? sonny : no , i did . melinda : so because of the video , you knew , when ms . brady said she did n't know detective bernardi , that she was lying . justin : objection . melinda : withdrawn . the answer goes without saying . i have no further questions for this witness . judge sims : your witness , mr. kiriakis . justin : i just wan na ask you about your reason , or reasons , for not sharing the video . melinda : objection . beyond the scope . judge sims : you opened the door , ms . trask . you can answer the question . sonny : because i knew there was no way that will 's mom could murder someone . i do n't care what 's on that video . i knew she was telling the truth when she said she was protecting detective hernandez . justin : nothing further . melinda : redirect , your honor . judge sims : what a surprise . melinda : sonny , are you saying that ms . brady has never lied to you or to her son ? judge sims : answer the question , son . sonny : no , i 'm not saying that . melinda : i have nothing further for this witness , your honor . judge sims : you can stand down . [ bangs gavel ] melinda : the state calls william horton . abigail : so we 're trying to get a lawyer for him . but my uncle justin is busy with will 's mom 's case . oh , cameron . my brother was dealing drugs . i mean , if he gets the wrong judge , then he could go to prison for years . cameron : abigail , was -- was he using ? abigail : i do n't know . i mean , i used to know everything about my brother . and now ... i feel like he 's a complete stranger to me . cameron : okay , so -- so just now , did you talk to chad about this ? abigail : no . no , i did n't want to stress him out on his way to court . cameron : yeah , it 's too bad . you need somebody to talk to . abigail : yeah , well , i 'm talking to you now . and you 're being really nice to me , even after everything . cameron : listen , abigail , we 're friends , okay ? no matter what . now can i say something to you , as a friend ? abigail : yeah , sure . cameron : with all that you 're going through , maybe now is n't the best time to get serious about anyone . kristen : why are you being like this ? i me , honestly , you 've never made it a secret how much you hate brady and i being together . eric : okay , here it goes . there 's a guy who came to me , and he said not only does he want my help , but he wants god 's blessing to get his marriage off to a holy start . how am i supposed to say no ? kristen : i so hate arguing with good people . eric : if you and brady are meant to share a life together , i will not be the one who stands in the way . i 'm not just talking about as a couple , but perhaps as a family . maybe it 's god 's will for you to be blessed with children of your own someday . you know , from the way i 've seen you work with those children here , i think you would make a wonderful mother . nicole : yes , this is my call . because who else is gon na look out for eric ? clearly not you . fine . he -- he is the most selfless , giving , caring man that i have ever met . and if you wan na destroy your life and marry that lunatic , my god , why do you think god created vegas ? just do n't do this to him . he does not need the stress . he is your brother . and he is too good and too kind to say no to you . brady : you know what ? i 've -- i 've tried to get through to you . i really have . i 've tried to argue with you . i 've tried to ignore all the vile things you say about kristen and me , but no more . i ca n't do it anymore . i 'm sick of listening to you . i 'm sick of hearing what you have to say to me . i 'm tired of trying to be your friend , nicole . you think kristen and i are insane ? why do n't you take a good look in the mirror ? a deep look into a mirror ! you 're crazy and obsessed over my brother . why do n't you learn to let him go ? nicole : go to hell . eric : i think i have finally shut you up . i mean , with god 's help , of course . [ laughs ] kristen : so ... you really think i 'd make a good mom ? eric : if god chooses to bless you with children ... i do . kristen : okay . so if brady and i were gon na do this pre - cana thing , i mean , what does it entail ? nicole : so please think about what you 're doing to eric . eric : hi , this is father eric brady . i ca n't take your call right now , so please leave a message at the tone , and i 'll get back to you as soon as possible . thank you . pre - marriage counseling is tailored to the couple . but the three of us , we 'd probably meet several times . i 'd ask you how you see your lives together . kristen : oh , boy , i bet i 'm gon na get a good grilling . eric : [ laughs ] well , i 'd ask him some very tough questions too . kristen : yeah ? like you 'd ask brady -- he 'd have to explain what his feelings are for me to you ? eric : yeah , that 's how it works . kristen : okay , well , let me think about it . and thank you for , you know , making me see beyond my initial objection . you know , it gives me a different perspective . maybe it could be a good thing . eric : he works in mysterious ways . kristen : oh , boy , tell me about it . anyway , i will be in touch . anyway , thanks . bye . [ door shuts ] kristen : [ sighs ] it 's me . i need to see you immediately . abigail : chad . hey , how did it go ? chad : it was just about what i expected it to be . [ cell phone rings ] abigail : i 'm sorry , i really have to get this , but i 'll be back . chad : yeah . cameron : well , i should get going . cha whoa , whoa , whoa . what the hell are you trying to pull here ? sonny : it 'll be okay . will : okay . [ ej whispers inaudibly ] kristen : so i could end up seeing a lot more of eric , with brady in the room . dr. chyka : i know what you 're worried about , but i assure you , this will make no difference . eric : call me when you get this . and if you talk to her , tell sami i love her . [ tense music ] why does this keep happening to me ? nicole : eric . you can not -- you can not be thinking about marrying brady and kristen . kristen : i 'm sure you know what i 'm about to say . you better be right about this , chyka . dr. chyka : i keep telling you , you have nothing to worry about . kristen : right , just go back to that rock i found you under , okay ? have a nice day . if i get rid of this , i get rid of my one chance of shattering marlena 's complacent little life . but if i get rid of this , maybe i can give myself a chance at a decent , happy life with brady . pre - cana counseling ? maybe you do have a sense of humor . eric : let me tell you something , nicole . you do n't get to come in here and tell me about brady 's relationship with kristen . it 's none of your business . and you do n't tell me what to do or not to do . nicole : i 'm just looking out for you . eric : no , you 're not . you 're just doing what 's best for you . as usual , you do n't care about anyone but yourself . now would you just leave me alone ? [ sighs ] nicole : [ scoffs ] chad : i heard what you said to abigail . about not getting too serious with me . so -- so what do you do ? you -- you pull away from her , but you 're still trying to make sure she 's just friends with me until i 'm out of the picture ? cameron : listen , you do n't know what she 's going through . chad : well , obviously , something 's wrong . but you thought it 'd be a good idea to take advantage of that ? cameron : okay , look , i 'm sorry you 're sick , okay ? but you wo n't talk to me about your treatment , and you have n't told abigail anything . do you really think this is the right time for her to get even closer to you , under these circumstances ? think about that . abigail : is everything okay ? chad : yeah . melinda : so , will , did your mother ask you to lie for her , to cover up that she knew and hated detective bernardi , that she had physically attacked him ? will : no . melinda : mr. horton , i will remind you that you are under oath . will : well , my mom would not murder anyone , okay ? she was trying to protect rafe . judge sims : son , you need to answer the question . and refrain from offering your opinion . i 'll let it go this time , but if it happens again , i 'll have to find you in contempt . melinda : will , did your mother ask you to lie ? sami : [ mouths ] will : um ... melinda : we need a verbal response , will . will : yeah , mm - hmm . yeah , she did . melinda : did she ask you to lie to the police ? will : yes . she did . melinda : thanks for being honest with us . i have no further questions . judge sims : mr. kiriakis ? justin : i have no questions at this time . judge sims : the witness may step down . [ bangs gavel ] will : [ mutters ] thanks . well , i do n't wan na hurt her , but that 's what i keep doing . if she goes to jail , it 's ... my fault . sami : [ whispering ] why is she doing this ? justin : she 's gon na spend as much time as she can doing a character assassination , keep us from the evidence incriminating bernardi . judge sims : ms. trask ? melinda : the state calls kate roberts . sami : oh , great . well , this day has been a nightmare . now it 's gon na get worse . chad : everything is fine . but now i want you to tell me what happened . why are you so upset ? look , i wan na help you , okay ? any way i can . abigail : thank you . thank you so much . chad : [ kisses ] abigail : [ laughs ] brady : so have you heard anything about sami ? eric : no , i keep calling my dad , but it 's going straight to voice mail . i 'm sorry you wasted a trip . brady : no , no . actually , there 's -- there 's another reason why i came . i think i 've put you in a bad position . you know , i did n't mean to complicate things and get you involved in all this . eric : you know what ? no . kristen and i talked . brady : and ? eric : well , maybe this counseling - and - marrying - you thing will be a good idea . kristen said she 's gon na think about it . brady : she 's gon na think about it ? wow . eric : yeah , who knew , right ? that kristen would be the one to bring us closer . kristen : so maybe with just a little bit of counseling ... i could let go of the past . nicole : what the hell is that ? | sami 's trial began . brady and nicole talked about whether eric would marry him and kristen . kristen and eric also talk about him officiating the wedding . melinda made her opening statement and then justin made his opening statement . brady and nicole 's discussion turned into an argument . kristen asked eric if he could tell brady that they do n't have to counseling before they got married . melinda called chad to the stand . melinda asked chad about the video he took of sami fighting bernardi . brady did n't want to keep hearing what nicole had to say about kristen . nicole insisted that eric would n't want to marry brady and kristen . kristen believed it would be better for everyone if she and eric stayed away from each other . melinda continued to grill chad about the footage . chad 's testimony did n't help sami 's case . justin had no questions for chad because he did n't want him to make sami look worse . will had a fantasy that sami went to prison because of him . |

eric : who knew , right ? that kristen would be the one bringing us closer . brady : huh . i 've actually been happier lately than i 've been in a long , long time , man . eric : yeah , that 's great . brady : that 's great . you do n't sound that enthusiastic . eric : what ? i am . i really am . it 's just sometimes i wonder if ... you , sami , or i will ever be happy at the same time . i 'm just anxious to hear how it goes today . brady : yeah , first day of the trial . i mean , it 's too bad it 's closed to the public . eric : i wish we could all be there . brady : me too . what 's going on ? what 's with that remark you made ? you hope that sami ... and you and i will all be happy together at the same time ? what -- are you okay ? kristen : so maybe , with just a little bit of counseling ... i could let go of the past . nicole : what the hell is that ? kristen : nicole ! oh . i did n't know anybody was here . nicole : i know . you were too busy staring at whatever that was in your hand . kristen : it 's really nothing . nicole : oh , well , if it was nothing , then why did you just shove it back in your bag the second you heard my voice ? and why are you trying not to look like i just caught you with your hand in the cookie jar , hmm ? daniel : well , you are now free to leave the hospital . rafe : yeah ! the real world -- what a concept . daniel : yeah , well , enjoy your furlough . rafe : i just wish i was doing something more fun than testifying at sami 's trial . jordan : i do wish you 'd chosen to testify using closed - circuit tv . it would 've been much easier on you . i 'll go arrange for the van . rafe : thanks . you do n't seem too fired up about this either . daniel : uh , i think jordan 's right . this is gon na be hard on you . rafe : yeah , well , i 've seen closed - circuit testimony , and it 's not nearly as effective as being their in person . daniel : mm - hmm . rafe : sami saved my life . she saved my life from a dirty cop . this is the least i can do to help her , you know ? daniel : yeah , yeah , but what exactly does that mean ? rafe : what does that mean ? daniel : i 'm just curious how far you 're willing to go for sami . and nothing but the truth , so help you god ? sami : he 's wasting his time . she would n't know the truth if it hit her in the face kate : i do . ej : it 's in her best interest to be truthful . sami : are you kidding me ? she 'd be thrilled to have me put away for life . state your name . kate : katherine roberts . ms. trask ? melinda : sorry , your honor . shall we get started ? kate : i 'm ready if you are . she 's a loving mother of four ... three of whom are under ten . how would you sleep ? brady : i get it . i understand . take it easy . i 'm just ... i do n't know . eric : what ? brady : i sensed something . forget it . hey , bro , listen ... eric : [ sighs ] brady : i can tell something 's on your mind , something other than sami . so why do n't you stop jerking me around about it ? eric : okay , you 're right . brady : just because it 's part of your job description that you have to listen to other people confess does n't mean you ca n't confide in me . by the way , it wo n't leave this room . you have my word . eric : thank you . you know , i think the best thing for me to do is ... is letting it go and stop dwelling on it . brady : mm - mm . does n't work . trust me , i 've tried it . best thing you can do ... is let it out . why do n't you tell me what 's going on ? eric : maybe i should . kristen : did somebody forget to give me the memo that i owe you an explanation about anything ? nicole : not anything -- just whatever you shoved in your purse . kristen : have n't we been down this road before ... when you found me holding a pregnancy test ? and it kind of blew up in your face when i reminded you that i ca n't have children . and then you ran to daniel and told him that jennifer was pregnant , only she was n't . mind your own business ! nicole : okay . yes , fine . you set me straight about the whole pregnancy - test thing . but you certainly are avoiding the subject right now . and in spite of your best efforts , bambi , you still got that deer - in - the - headlights look . kristen : do i ? okay . nicole : yeah , you do . kristen : i 'll tell you what this is -- it 's a flash drive , nicole , all right ? my company has a big deal this afternoon , and on this flash drive is information about the negotiation . so are you happy ? nicole : i would be ... if i believed a word of that garbage . melinda : this is a 9-millimeter pistol . have you ever seen it before ? kate : yes , i bought that gun . melinda : for what purpose ? kate : to give as a gift . melinda : to whom ? kate : to sami brady , the defendant . melinda : your honor , the prosecution would like this gun entered into evidence . ms. roberts , the defense has already stipulated that the gun i just showed you is the same gun that killed detective bernardi . my question to you is , why would you give a lethal weapon as a gift ? kate : i gave it as an engagement gift ... as sort of a joke . melinda : i do n't find it humorous . it was used to kill a man in cold blood . justin : objection , your honor . sustained . melinda : okay , i 'll rephrase . can you explain what was supposed to be funny about that gift ? kate : [ sighs ] answer the question , ms . roberts . kate : i told sami that it may come in handy as protection someday . melinda : from ? kate : from her fiancé , ej dimera . eric : it 's just i keep having the same dream over and over ... another reason why i 'm not getting a whole lot of sleep . brady : what kind of dream ? eric : [ sighs ] it goes back to when i was sick . brady : are you still having symptoms ? eric : that 's just it -- i 'm fine . brady : daniel seems to think that you were poisoned , eric . eric : daniel is convinced that i was poisoned . brady : really ? well , no wonder you 're having awful dreams , then . who -- who the heck would do that to you anyway ? eric : if i knew the answer to that , i think i might not be having the dream . kristen : you do n't believe me ? it really hurts my feelings . it thought that after working with all those kids and the scholarships that you and i created a bond that would last a lifetime . nicole : [ chuckles ] that 's funny . yeah , no matter how hard you try to work the `` ooh , i 'm trying to be a good person `` thing , inevitably , without fail , you are up to no good . i know you 're hiding something . kristen : you need to shut your mouth , 'cause you do n't know what -- matt : hello , kristen , nicole . nicole : hello , father . kristen : father , is n't it a beautiful day ? matt : ah , this is my favorite time of the year , especially now with the new school and our first class . kristen : i know -- it 's so exciting , is n't it ? matt : i saw a list of the scholarship recipients . you have no idea how your generosity 's gon na help a whole lot of families . kristen : oh , i 'm so happy to help . i wish i could do more . nicole : mm - hmm . matt : uh , maybe you can be of help to jennifer horton . you 're a friend of hers , no ? kristen : i am . what 's wrong with jennifer ? daniel : i know ej was here to see you . i 'm sure he reminded you of everything you owe sami . rafe : [ chuckles ] yeah , you think ? daniel : [ chuckles ] rafe : you know the bottom line ? i 'm here . i get to spend time with my niece and be here for my sister , and that 's because of sami . sami 's got a family too . i do not want to see her taken away from those kids . i mean , she 's innocent . daniel : you ca n't testify about what happened with bernardi and sami . you know that you were unconscious . rafe : yeah . that 's not what ej wants . daniel : yeah ? spell it all out for you , did he ? rafe : yeah , he did . obviously sami 's case hinges on proving that bernardi was on the take , right ? daniel : mm - hmm . so ? rafe : so ej wants me to remember something from when we worked together , something that would prove that . daniel : of course , yep . rafe : i 'm not gon na do it . no way . i 'm not gon na stand up there and lie . daniel : i 'm sure he took that well . rafe : oh , yeah . he reminded me that you and i had no problem lying when nicole was pregnant with his baby . daniel : you know , if that baby had lived , we might both still be lying . rafe : yeah . well , as far as i 'm concerned , there 's a huge difference in lying to protect a child from ej 's influence and lying under oath . daniel : right , not just because of what could happen to you . if you get tripped up on that stand -- rafe : the jury could turn and convict her right then and there . daniel : yeah , well , if you believe sami 's version of what happened -- rafe : and i do . daniel : okay , well , the best thing to do , in my opinion , just tell the truth . rafe : that 's what i intend to do . and hopefully everyone else does as well . then sami may stand a chance . melinda : did you believe that by becoming involved with ej dimera , samantha brady had reason to fear for her life ? kate : as i said before , the gun was an attempt at humor . melinda : a loaded weapon is hardly a gag gift . kate : i have a rather dark sense of humor . melinda : even so , surely there had to be some basis for the joke . were you saying that samantha brady would have to accustom herself to a world in which violence is a way of life ? justin : objection . not only is counsel leading the witness , but she 's attempting to use the reputation of the dimera family name to smear my client . judge : sustained . find another line of questioning , ms . trask . melinda : of course . where were you the night that samantha brady shot and killed detective bernardi ? kate : in the hospital , in gabi hernandez 's room . melinda : you 've heard the defendant 's version of events . did they even remotely jibe with what you saw with your own eyes ? daniel : hey , there . what are you doing here ? victor : what do you think ? i need more money . daniel : good to hear you 're not sick . victor : never felt better . when am i gon na see parker ? daniel : anytime you want . just do n't corrupt him . victor : [ chuckles ] maggie tells me somebody 's done a real job on jennifer horton 's son . he got busted . daniel : yeah . yeah , that 's what i hear . victor : ah , that 's not all that maggie told me . daniel : so you know about jennifer and me ? victor : mm - hmm . daniel : yeah . um , i 'd like to , uh , keep that to myself . i 'd rather not talk about it . victor : well , then you can listen . no woman should have to deal with a punk son all alone . daniel : okay , i know . once i heard that he was at the police station , i went over there . jennifer was handling things , i 'd say , just fine . victor : all right , forget the kid . i 'd like to see you as happy as maggie and i are . you deserve it . so does jennifer . and you know me -- i do n't say that about everyone . daniel : [ chuckles ] yeah . matt : i 'm sorry . i thought you knew . kristen : well , what happened to jennifer ? nicole : jj got arrested for dealing drugs , and she did n't call her bff ? kristen : jj was arrested ? when did this happen ? matt : this morning . jj was caught in the act . it seems he 's been hanging around with a fast crowd and jennifer knew nothing about it . kristen : oh , my goodness . she must be a wreck . i 'm gon na go find her . thank you so much for telling me , father . nicole : well , at least jennifer knows what her son 's been up to . it 's better than being in the dark . matt : yes . nicole : all right , father , i 'll see you at the rectory . matt : i was wondering if we could talk for a minute . nicole : for you ? i 'll give you more than a minute . [ both chuckle ] matt : it 's about eric and what you can do to help . eric : you know what i should do ? i should just stop obsessing about it . i mean , it just seems so selfish of me , when ... my sister 's whole life is kind of on the line right now . i mean , that 's -- brady : eric , eric , your sister sami would be the first one to say , `` get to the bottom of it . `` eric : but daniel keeps coming up with dead ends . i mean , i 'm no help . nicole -- i mean ... i do n't know . she did n't see anyone . she found me when i was sick . brady : hey , maybe she did see someone . maybe she saw something . eric : yeah , but she would 've told me . brady : well , maybe she has n't put it together yet . it does n't hurt to ask her again and again . eric : you 're right , you know . brady : i know i 'm right . listen , uh , i got to go . i 'm gon na ... i 'm gon na get on this for you , okay ? you deserve some answers . i 'm gon na make sure you find them . eric : thanks . justin : objection . counsel is practically instructing the witness to say my client is lying . sustained . you 're on thin ice , ms . trask . melinda : i apologize , your honor . when did you enter the room where detective bernardi was shot ? kate : after i heard the gun go off , gabi and i ran there . melinda : who else came into the room ? kate : ej dimera was there . kayla brady was there and a nurse . they were attending to detective bernardi . melinda : and was the defendant still there ? kate : yes . and rafe hernandez . it was his room , but he was comatose . he was n't aware of what was going on . melinda : and when you saw the defendant , was she holding the gun that you gave her ? kate : yes . melinda : and did she say anything ? kate : she said that detective bernardi was trying to kill rafe and that 's why she shot him . melinda : did she say how she knew that ? kate : she said that she saw him holding a knife , or at least she thought it was a knife at that point . melinda : did you see the weapon anywhere ? kate : i ... it as chaos in that room . i mean , it as crowded -- so crowded within minutes . melinda : that 's not what i asked you . did you see any sign of the weapon ms . brady said detective bernardi had in his hand when he was shot ? kate : no . no , i saw nothing like that . melinda : no further questions . jordan : if you 're determined to testify in court , it 's my job to see that you make it there and back safely . rafe : i appreciate it . jordan : uh , the woman on trial -- she 's your ex - wife ? that must not be easy -- testifying against someone you used to be married to . rafe : [ scoffs ] i was called by the prosecutor , and i do n't remember anything that happened that night , so ... there 's nothing i can say that 's gon na hurt sami . jordan : well , that 's good , i guess . rafe : but i appreciate your concern . jordan : my concern is how the stress of all this will affect your progress . you have to be 100 % committed to the program i have you on , or you wo n't get anywhere . i 'll be back when it 's time to leave . rafe : okay . ca n't wait . your witness . sami : is there a chance that she could be up to something ? ej : just leave her to justin . justin : what brought you to the hospital on the night of the shooting ? kate : i 'd come to visit rafe . justin : did you visit him often ? kate : yes . rafe and i are friends . justin : you made regular visits to a comatose man who had no idea you were there . you must be very good friends . kate : if that 's your way of asking if we were involved , yes , we were . and before the beating sent him to the hospital , we were lovers . justin : now , is it correct that you were the first one to find detective hernandez after the beating ? kate : yes . justin : and you called 911 , and you stayed there until help arrived . kate : yes . justin : must 've been a very frightening time . kate : yes , it was . justin : and during that time , did you ever wonder who might possibly be responsible for this terrible beating to your lover ? kate : of course i did . justin : did you come to any conclusions ? kate : i was convinced it was my ex - husband . justin : please state his name for the record . kate : stefano dimera . justin : and what did you suspect was his motive ? melinda : relevance , your honor . justin : your honor , i 'm asking for the same leeway given to the special prosecutor . i just want to pursue a line of questioning that bolsters the defense 's theory of the case . you opened the door , ms . trask . but please get to the point . you may answer the question , ms . roberts . kate : he was a very jealous man . justin : and was mr. dimera , in fact , responsible for what happened to detective hernandez ? kate : [ sighs ] no . justin : did he even know about your affair with detective hernandez ? kate : not until i confronted him after rafe was attacked and ... made the mistake of telling him myself . justin : and how much time elapsed between the moment stefano dimera learned about your affair and the moment my client used the gun you gave her to shoot joseph bernardi in order to keep him from killing your lover ? melinda : your honor , that is pure speculation ! the jury has heard no evidence which suggests a link -- please state your objection , ms . trask . sami : what 's going on ? ej : he 's got her . nicole : you said you wanted to talk about eric , but you look so serious . matt : sami 's in jail , on trial for killing a policeman , and , uh ... she could go to jail for the rest of her life . eric is overwhelmed with worry . nicole : believe me -- i know . i see what 's it 's doing to him . and you know what the sad thing is ? i do n't even think sami cares . matt : no , i 've known sami a long time . she loves her brother . nicole : yeah , i 've had a long history with sami too , and i beg to differ with you . the only person that sami has ever cared about is sami . matt : i did n't ask you to talk so we could discuss sami . it 's eric and what you can do for him . nicole : i 'd do anything for him . but what do you mean ? matt : i do n't know if you 're aware of this , but eric has other things on his mind besides sami . [ knock at door ] daniel : hey . kristen : hi . have you seen jenn ? daniel : uh , well , probably still at the police station . kristen : i just heard about jj . may i please come in ? daniel : uh , um ... re . yeah , no , you -- kristen : thank you . daniel : yeah . kristen : so she 's not answering the phone . she 's not returning any calls . is she okay ? daniel : okay as one can be when your teenage son could be charged with a felony . kristen : [ gasps ] have you seen her ? daniel : uh , yeah , i was just at the police station , but i could n't stay . i got called into surgery . kristen : and you say that jj might be charged with a felony ? daniel : well , i do n't know that for sure . but this is n't just simple possession . he was actually dealing . kristen : [ gasps ] is he gon na get out on bail ? daniel : ah , you know what ? when i left , jennifer was still trying to sort all that out . kristen : well , she just must be a - a wreck , right ? daniel : you know , yeah . but , you know , i probably should n't be talking about her with you . i do n't -- i 'm sure she 's gon na call you back as soon as she gets the chance . [ distant crash ] daniel : ah , that 's okay . it 's parker . it 's parker . he , uh -- he lets me know he 's woken up from his nap by whipping toys across the room . i 'll be right back . hold on . you got quite an arm , man . kristen : hey ! daniel : you got quite an arm . this right here -- oh , you 're gon na get all shy on me ? this is parker . kristen : hi , parker ! you 're awfully bright - eyed and bushy - tailed for a little boy that just woke up from a nap . daniel : yeah , and this is miss kristen . kristen : hi . daniel : you want me to get you a snack ? kristen : ooh , i bet i know what you want for a snack . you want broccoli ? [ laughing ] kristen : nuh - uh ! kristen : you do n't like broccoli ? daniel : yeah , kind of hard to believe there , huh ? kristen : how smart are you ? [ both chuckle ] kristen : okay , i better go . i 'm gon na try to find jennifer . and good luck with that snack . daniel : no worries . yeah , okay . sorry i could n't be more help . kristen : you know , maybe you can . daniel : you know , i already told you everything i know about jj . kristen : it 's not about jj or jennifer , actually . it 's about me . matt : eric has a number of personal problems . he feels none of them can be solved . it 's very hard for a priest . nicole : i have to admit -- i have n't exactly been easy on him , so i will try to back off . matt : there 's something you could do . nicole : name it . matt : eric seems obsessed with what happened to him when he got sick . these unanswered questions are eating at him . this is something he may never understand . we have to help him accept that . nicole : i get what you 're saying , father matt , and you can count on me . daniel : uh , here -- no , please , sit down , sit down . kristen : oh ! daniel : oh , whoa ! look at that ! kristen : hey , parker ! daniel : uh , is this -- is it a medical question ? you all right ? kristen : oh , you know , i have an issue , and it requires a specialist . and i was referred to a dr. dunstall and a dr. green , and i was wondering if you 've heard anything about them . and what do you think ? daniel : uh , yeah , dunstall and green -- they 're fertility doctors . kristen : i know . i know i know , i know . i was told a long time ago that i could n't get pregnant , but there 's been so many advances , and ... since i 'm about to get married again -- daniel : you 're ge -- uh , okay . wow . kristen : i know , and brady and i talked about adoption , but before we start that process , i 'd like to -- daniel : be absolutely sure that you ca n't have one of your own here . kristen : exactly . i know it would take a miracle , but clearly miracles happen , right ? brady : good . you 're here . victor : well ... you have n't greeted me like that in a while . brady : [ sighs ] i owe you an apology . victor : for what ? brady : well , things have been happening pretty fast in my world , and there 's some news i should 've given you before . victor : you 're engaged . brady : you heard . victor : ah , secrets do n't last long in this town . brady : yeah , i do n't really like the word `` secret . `` that kind of means that i 'm hiding something or -- it has a bad connotation to it . i - i love her . it 's as simple as that . that 's why i 'm doing this . victor : [ sighs ] i can see that . so congratulations . brady : thanks . i know i got a long way to go before people believe i know what i 'm doing , but ... you should know , as far as this marriage is concerned , i 'm kicking it old school , as they say . victor : how so ? brady : well , posting of the banns , pre - cana conferences -- the whole nine yards . victor : you ca n't be serious . brady : completely serious . ask eric . victor : you and kristen ... are seriously talking about a church wedding ?

ej : no . not since this whole thing went public , samantha . the board knows that you duped him . for father , this is about saving face , and nothing is as important as saving face . kate : you know , this is really all your fault , sami . you practically dared will to write that article . sami : all right . the point is the article 's out , right , so let 's focus on what we can do to fix it . kate : there 's no `` i `` in `` we . `` sami : what is that supposed to mean ? kate : means that i 'm realizing , more and more , that it 's every woman for herself . adios , partner . sami : kate . hope : i know what i said . and i meant it . aiden : and i 've been trying to honor that . but you were the one who walked up to me and nicole , and you 're the one who sat down and made herself comfortable . hope : well , now that i know that you make fun of me behind my back , it wo n't happen again . so , mr. jennings , um , good - bye . and have a great life . eve : shopping ?

rory : right . jill : are you going to the big party tonight ? rory : i am now . daniel : hey , thanks for coming . kayla : yeah , i have been over this , but i want you to look at it . it 's a complete rundown on the drug that kristen says will bring john out of his coma . daniel : either it 's a lie or this is john 's best ... last chance . sami : never mind about kate , you know , she 's just panicking , being her usual self . she knows that we 're all in this together , do n't worry . ej : that 's right . we are all in this together . okay ? i plan on keeping my promise , samantha -- i will protect you from my father . sami : seriously ? i mean , you 're really gon na do this ... even after everything i did to you ? ej : well , after what i did to you , i do n't expect anything less . so i assume that kate used her time with you to try to make you doubt everything i said to you , everything i felt -- all of it . sami : yeah . she did . she did n't succeed . | kayla caught hope daydreaming and wanted to know if she wanted to talk . hope wanted to talk . eve told jill to go to the party that jj and paige were going to so she could meet him . kate walked in on sami and ej hugging . sami lied and said they hugged because of the kids . kate thought ej helped rafe get the evidence against stefano . ej warned them that stefano was coming after them . jennifer went to see daniel , but things did n't go as planned . he wanted things to stay casual between them when she wanted to see parker . jennifer was upset that daniel would n't let her spend time with parker , but he lets jj and abby spend time with him . daniel did n't want parker to get confused . hope told kayla that aiden kissed her . kayla seemed happy about it . jennifer had to reschedule her coffee date with daniel . sami thought she and kate had to come up with a plan when stefano gets back . ej left to take a phone call . kate wanted to know if sami lost her mind . |

brady : you lie to everyone else . why make a personal exception ? theresa : but here 's how you find out you 're right . you get confirmation that you actually are talented from someone who ca n't stand you . brady : you actually found somebody that could n't stand you ? theresa : abigail deveraux , who 'd like to see me rot in hell , had to admit that my sketches are really , really good . i mean , here , just take a look . brady : they are good . theresa : thanks . brady : very good . theresa : thank you . look , brady , please let me prove myself to you . okay , i 'll hire someone who knows the business , and i 'll learn as i go . brady : theresa , why ? theresa : what do you mean ? i literally just told you -- brady : no , why ? why do you really want to do this ? nicole : you want to hang out . cool . you just let me know how you want to handle the `` we ca n't stand each other `` thing . kate : i say we table it until you hear what i have to say . nicole : ooh , shot in the dark , wild , wild guess -- the only reason you want to shoot the breeze is because i came into a lot of money ? huh . kate : i have to tell you the truth . i was so impressed with the way that you parlayed a horrific near - death experience into a major chunk of change . tip of the hat to you . nicole : well , it sure as hell beats marrying someone you hate . kate : god , is that true . nicole : well , that chunk of change is no longer the figure that was quoted in the paper . kate : what did you do ? did you blow it all on candy ? nicole : [ laughs ] no . i gave serena 's portion to charity . kate : what ? a moment of weakness ? nicole : well , i 'm glad i did because of , you know , what happened to her . kate : yeah , well , and it will give you a substantial tax write - off . nicole : that 's true . kate : but what about the quarter mil that victor gave you for xander 's share of the settlement ? nicole : hmm . dear kate , that 's none of your business . okay , fine , i 'll bite . would you just tell me what you want from me ? kate : basic black . nicole : you want to talk to me about basic black ? kate : now that john has ruined it , we could get it for a song . nicole : we , as in you and me ? kate : i know that you 're interested in buying the company , and so am i . but i have a slight cash flow situation right now , so i thought , why not let bygones be bygones ? nicole : yeah , i just bet you do . kate : we could pool our resources , and we could take it over ourselves . nicole : huh . theresa : look , brady , i understand that you have reservations -- brady : theresa , look . if i were to help you out with this little scheme , i think it would be a lot like giving me that first little taste of cocaine . first you 'd start planning how to get the ring back on your finger , then how to get your name on the marriage license , then how to get your name on my joint checking account . i 'm not feeding into that delusion . and by the way , when i told nicole that i would help her , i agreed to front her half the money that she needs . theresa : [ scoffs ] what ? because she 's never lied or cheated before . brady : this conversation is over . it 's over . theresa : fine . but you know what ? i 'm gon na get that money , and i 'm gon na buy that company . nicole walker can just go to hell .

eric : of course we will do whatever it takes . belle : okay , just listen to me . i was going through mom 's paperwork and i found this . it 's an advanced directive . that means that -- that when a patient ca n't speak for themselves , this document becomes their voice , right ? so what mom 's saying is very clear . she does n't want her life prolonged by artificial means . eric : she 's on a ventilator . belle : right . so we need to go and tell her doctors to shut it off . right now . chloe : thank you .

there is no kid . you 're creating this whole thing to get a get - out - of - jail - free card . bonnie : you really do n't remember coming back to me and begging me for a second chance ? lucas : no , i don't . bonnie : [ sighs ] that 's right . you were drunk . lucas : oh , here we go again . i was drunk . that 's right , i was . bonnie : it 's just that you were so cute . and so sad and , well , hell , i just could n't resist . next thing i know , you and i were just hot and heavy between the sheets . lucas : no , no , no , it did n't happen . no way . bonnie : honey , you may have forgotten , but you gave this girl one hell of a night to remember . not to mention the gift that keeps on giving . all 7 pounds and 4 ounces of her . kayla : will , that is such great news that you got your memory back . how does it feel ? will : um , it feels kind of crazy . um , you know , a little overwhelming at times . kayla : [ exhales ] i can only imagine . but i am so happy for you and your family . especially your little girl . does she understand that you remember now ? will : yes , she does . uh , i told her . and i mean it 's not like we were n't close before , you know . i was always very fond of her even before i had my memory back , but ... now , you know , remembering her as a tiny baby and feeling , you know , that -- that my love for her when she was born and ... i do n't know , like , my daughter , you know ? it 's -- i mean , it 's just -- it 's different . kayla : i bet . will : yeah . kayla : well , i guess i can , um , stop feeling guilty now that i could n't give you any more of the serum . looks like , uh , one dose did the trick . paul : uh , well , you know , we just , uh -- we 're glad that it finally happened . kayla : yeah , so am i . hey , listen , you know , when things settle down a little bit , i 'd love to run some tests and just confirm that , uh , your long - term memory is fully back . will : i -- i 'm pretty sure it 's -- it 's all there . um ... i think the important thing now is , you know , obviously making sure paul is okay . kayla : yes . we all feel that . um , if you 'll excuse me , i 'll get started on those tests , okay ?

[ crying ] maggie : lucas is -- he 's worked extremely hard on his sobriety . i think this time around he 's gon na stick the landing , as they say . hmm ? certainly his sobriety is not determined one way or the other on his encounter with bonnie lockhart . chloe : i -- i know that . of course not . and i 'm not suggesting that i 'm worried about that . maggie : but clearly you are , chloe . chloe : i guess . i 'm -- i 'm just so protective of lucas . he 's had so much disappointment in his life and him having this issue with addiction -- maggie : uh - huh . having this issue with addiction does not mean that -- that he 's so fragile that the slightest discomfort is -- is gon na undermine his commitment to sobriety . and you know what would help , chloe ? is if you believe that , too . [ sighs ] i mean , if you believed in his strength . i mean rather than -- than constantly worrying that -- that he might have a relapse at any time . chloe : i 'm not constantly worrying about it . maggie : or worrying at all . listen , i mean , if you have to worry , do n't communicate that to him . now , the last thing lucas needs is to sense your fear and your skepticism . he needs you . and all the people who love him . and to have faith in him .

[ dramatic music ] you got drunk again , did n't you ? lucas : i did , yes , i did . but that 's not the worst of it . i 'd like to introduce you to anjelica deveraux . chloe : deveraux ? lucas : she 's -- she 's dead ! how 'd you know about anjelica deveraux ? it was never made public . bonnie : well , i know because hattie adams tucked angelica 's cold corpse into my warm bed while you were passed out . right after you and i were , you know , close as close can be . lucas : the amount of wrongness in that sentence is staggering . bonnie : okay , then . so maybe you recall having sex with anjelica . lucas : no , no , no , no . no , all right ? just , no . no . bonnie : correct - a - mundo . because , little darling , you had sex with this little chickadee sitting right across from you . and you knocked her up . [ light dramatic music ] lucas : what you 're telling me just is n't -- it 's not possible . bonnie : oh , honey , i get why you do n't remember . i mean , you were drunk as a skunk . seeing double . how about i just walk you through ? there we were , you and i , my room . and you were swigging away right out of the bottle . now , i offered to call you a cab . but no , no , no . but you said you wanted to sleep it off right there in my bed . lucas : no , no , no , no , no . bonnie : at first , i felt kind of sorry for you because you kept going on and on about how you lost everything you cared about . job , your kids . and , baby , then you kissed me . and it was like fire . and i thought to myself , `` what the hell ? `` i just could n't resist . oh , yes , lucas . oh , yep . right there . no , do n't stop . don -- hey . hey , what ? what ? what 's wrong ? lucas : something 's different . bonnie : oh , honey , that was just a little move i was trying out that i saw in an adult movie . lucas : no , it 's you . you 're different . you 're not adrienne . [ light music ] chloe : yes , i agree we have to have faith in lucas and let him know that we believe in him . it 's just that ... maggie : just what ? chloe : well , when lucas was drinking , he got himself into so much trouble . maggie : what kind of trouble ? i mean , aside from the obvious destructive behavior that comes with the territory . chloe : i -- i just mean trouble in the general sense . and he knows how worried we all were about him , and he feels terrible about it . maggie : well , you know , making amends is -- is part of recovery . i 'm sure he 's done that with you . chloe , yeah , he has , and i let him know that we 're all good . but after i got back from mexico , i could tell that he was holding back and he admitted he was because he 's afraid that he 's gon na let me down . maggie : chloe , is lucas afraid he 's gon na start drinking again ? chloe : he said that he needs to take it one day at a time and i 'd be lying if i said that that did n't scare me just a little bit . sonny : hey , i came as soon as i got your message . you sounded really upset . what 's going on ? what is it ? john : damn it , roman , if i did n't have to be here for doc and paul , i 'm telling you , i 'd -- roman : yeah , yeah , but john , john , you do , okay ? you do , so you need to get this situation with steve out of your mind as much as possible . and like i told kayla , have faith in shane . john : yeah , i do . i do . and thank you . this , um -- this little break was just what i needed , but i got ta get back to the hospital . roman : you know what ? i 'll go with you . uh , how about i look in on your son while you check on marlena ? john : that 'd be great , roman . thank you . roman : all right .

i 'm sorry , what ? finish your sentence . if i betray your mother , what ? you 're gon na divorce me ? stefan : i did n't say that . gabi : okay , hold on . so your loyalty to this evil woman is greater than your loyalty to your wife ?

ej : justin , ej dimera . um , well , since they say that an attorney who has himself for a client is a fool , um , i was wondering if i could ask you for some legal advice . it 's regarding a rather personal and delicate matter . it concerns my ex - wife , nicole walker , so i would be very grateful if you could give me a call . thank you . nicole : actually , in the beginning , daniel was the one pursuing a relationship with me . and then melanie got kidnapped , and now nick fallon is out on parole , and he 's focused on his daughter . rafe : i 'll bet he is . nicole : he 's a good father . rafe : yeah . nicole : and i get why he has to make her a priority now . i mean , i would -- i 'll do the same thing when my son 's born . rafe : yeah . well , it sounds all very neat and tidy . nicole : [ grumbles ] okay , fine . you know what , there 's more to the story . you know , you cops , you 're so annoying . rafe : yeah . nicole : [ laughs ] rafe : so ? nicole : oh . everything i 've told you is true . there 's just another layer now that jack has passed away unexpectedly . jennifer is back on daniel 's radar . rafe : so you think daniel still has feelings for jennifer ? nicole : okay , let 's not get carried away , all right ? daniel has a big heart , and he would help anyone -- anyone that he 's cared about , no matter the cost to him . but that heart needs to go to the right person . rafe : and that would be you . nicole : just sayin ' . daniel : i hope it 's still hot . melanie : yes , thank you . daniel : so who was at the door earlier ? melanie : brady . he was just doing the same thing you 're about to do . daniel : really ? buying you coffee loaded with soy products ? melanie : ha , no , driving me crazy . daniel : honey , listen to me -- melanie : no -- i -- look , i love you . daniel : i love you , but -- melanie : good -- uh , good , so you can stay here , and we can talk about whatever you want , as long as it 's what normal people talk about , which means no kidnapping , no parole boards , no nightmares . daniel : i 'm sorry , you 're having nightmares ? are you having nightmares now ? you did n't tell me you were having nightmares . melanie : just -- you did n't listen to a single thing i jus -- daniel : i did listen to you , you said , `` nightmares . `` melanie : how 'bout we talk about the cubs , or we could talk about the election 'cause that 's always something good to talk about . daniel : you know , why do n't we talk about this ... engagement ring on your finger ? melanie : [ sighs ] jennifer : um ... are you here for that ? brady : this ? uh , yeah . you too ? jennifer : yeah , i 'm so late . brady : i know , i 'm late for it too . jennifer : on purpose ? brady : maybe . i do n't know , these bereavement groups , they probably help a lot of people , but honestly , i do n't -- i do n't feel like i want to focus on what i lost , you know ? jennifer : you know what ? i get that , i do . brady : i mean , i 'm sitting here , right ? this pretzel -- [ laughs ] this giant pretzel , i -- i used to get one of these for madison every single time the guy with the cart was here , and she used to eat the whole thing , and i honestly -- i ca n't finish this . is this the biggest pretzel you 've ever seen ? [ laughs ] jennifer : ginormous , yes . [ laughter ] brady : will you -- will you help me out with this thing , please ? ej : yes , florence , i 'm well aware that it is a custom order . and that i 've given you no time , but my dear , you 've never let me down before , and you know i pay very , very well . she is extremely special , thank you , but she 's also prone to flip - flopping , which is why this gift has to be extra special . will : um , you know what ? you always do what you want to do , so why do you suddenly care what i think ? sami : i always care what you think , but now i can ask you 'cause you 're old enough and definitely all grown up lately , and you 're better than most people in this town at being objective about ej , so ... so what do you think ? will : you know , i think that underneath it all , i think he is a good person . sami : okay , that says a lot . does that mean that you think that it 'll really work for us this time ? will : you know , i did n't at first , but i do n't know , i 've given it a lot of thought , and , you know , if you want to be together , you really want to be together , then , yeah , you should try , i think , you know ? and i 'll root for you . i 'll -- i 'll help , or whatever . sami : [ laughs ] will : [ laughs ] sami : thank you ! will : oh . wow , thank you . i mean , thanks for actually talking to me about doing something before , you know , you do it . i 'm serious . sami : [ laughs ] you 're welcome . will : [ laughs ] sami : so are you gon na open your present or wait till next christmas ? will : all right . [ grunts ] i 'll do it . okay . oh . wow . is this the -- is this the jacket that -- that we walked by in the window that one time ? sami : yeah , you definitely stopped and stared at it and commented on how cool it was , and i know you never normally do that , so -- will : wow , you were paying attention . sami : i do that ... sometimes . will : thank you . can i -- i 'm sorry , can i say one thing to you ? sami : sure . will : no , i -- [ laughs ] it 's just -- this conversation aside , about ej , i just think that , you know , you 've got to admit that you 've been all over the map with men lately . sami : [ sighs ] okay , maybe you 're right . rafe : i do n't hate y -- i do n't . i could never hate you . sami : yeah , no . no question , you 're definitely right . will : okay . thanks , um , so just -- i do n't know , can you be sure this time , please ? sami : [ chuckles ] melanie : it 's pretty . it 's pretty . chad , he proposed to me last night . daniel : i -- i do n't even know what to say . does -- does your mom know ? and what about maggie ? melanie : you 're the first . daniel : i 'm the first ? melanie : mm - hmm . daniel : can i just ask you , you know , one simple question ? melanie : yeah . daniel : yeah . what in the hell are you thinking ? melanie : what ? daniel : what ? no , i am serious , baby , i am so serious . this is out of nowhere , mel . melanie : i thought you liked chad . daniel : i do like chad , but i 'm not expecting you to be engaged to the guy . melanie : okay , but we 've been more than friends for a long -- daniel : friends , exactly , friends , but this , what is this ? you know what this is ? this right here , it 's impulsive , and it 's just like -- it 's like philip . reminds me of philip , the whole thing . melanie : philip ? daniel : yeah . melanie : really ? are you trying to make me freak out ? daniel : no , i 'm not trying to make you freak out , honey . in fact , i 'm not someone who can just stand here in judgment . melanie : no ... daniel : i 'm not . melanie : you 're not someone who can stand there and judge , and really , i do n't understand why you 're not more happy for me . daniel : you do n't understand ? you know what , i 'm sorry , but it 's the timing of the whole thing . now , baby , right now ? melanie : as opposed to what ? so i should n't get married to chad ? daniel : why do n't you tell me why you want to get married to chad ? because right now , all of this , this whole drama with nick , tell me right now why you want to get married . rafe : well , you want my two cents about your feelings for daniel ? nicole : depends . rafe : well , i 'm gon na give it to you anyway . listen , you need to tell him , okay ? look , the three of us , we 're already keeping this huge secret about ej being the father of the baby , and now , to do this to daniel , not to tell him ? no way . way too complicated . you got ta tell him 'cause the stakes , they 're way too high . nicole : pot , kettle black , hello . rafe : the what ? nicole : okay , first of all , i 'm not keeping my feelings a secret from daniel . rafe : well -- nicole : okay ? he -- maybe he does n't know how strong they are , but he does know about my feelings , and second , you 're telling me that i should tell me feelings to someone ? i mean , you 're like the worst offender of that ever . rafe : what are you talking about ? nicole : what am i -- seriously ? it 's starts with an `` s. `` sami , sami , sami . rafe : sami ? nicole : [ laughing ] yeah . rafe : are you kidding me right now ? nicole : no . rafe : sami ? nicole : no , i 'm not , because i would have to have a sleep mask on not to see the way you two looked at each other when you brought her in the hospital after her latest inappropriate debacle . rafe : oh , my god , i was just making sure that she was okay . you -- you 're kidding me right now , right ? nicole : no , i 'm not kidding you right now , no , i 'm not . i ca n't stand her . rafe : well , neither can i . nicole : oh , i believe you . mm - hmm . listen , just because you do n't -- rafe : you -- you 're nuts , and i 'm not gon na even do this with you right now . nicole : lis -- just because you ca n't stand her does n't mean that you do n't want to be with her , and as much as it makes me gag to see you two together , i just care about you ... and i want you to be happy . do you think -- do you think you could be without sami and be happy ? or is she it ? jennifer : okay . you see , i do n't really like the crust . brady : what do you mean cr -- it has crust ? is there crust on a pretzel ? jennifer : yeah , pretzel has a crust . i do n't eat the crust . i would just dig out the middle , and then jack would eat all the crust for me . i would leave this for him . brady : that 's , uh , that 's a great system for eating a pretzel . jennifer : it 's a really good system , actually . [ laughter ] and it 's these little memories that really get me the most . brady : the little things that only you and he knew , they 're the best . jennifer : yeah . brady : you know , i spoke to melanie this morning . that actually helped me out a little bit , focusing on someone else 's problems . it 's amazing . jennifer : i know it 's really rough for melanie with nick back here , but i 'm telling you , brady , he 's changed , i really believe that , i do . brady : i hope that you 're right . jennifer : well , she 's lucky , she has you . brady : well , thank you . she has me , she has chad , she has her father too . jennifer : yeah , daniel 's a great dad . brady : he 's a very good dad . jennifer : yeah . you know , the way he is with melanie reminds me of how jack was with abigail . i mean , not that they would n't get into it like cats and dogs sometimes . [ laughter ] brady : they 're supposed to . melanie : you just ca n't help yourself , can you ? i mean , i tell you that chad and i are engaged , and you bring up nick , which i 'm pretty sure i remember asking you not to do . daniel : okay , i 'm pretty sure that was before i saw the ring on your finger . melanie : yeah , which you 're so happy for me about , right ? daniel : how am i gon na be happy for you when your boyfriend proposes marriage when you 're extremely vulnerable ? you know , and i do n't even think you 're thinking straight right now . melanie : are you listening to yourself talk right now ? daniel : i am listening to myself because it is your father trying to take care of you 'cause you are not dealing with how terrified you are about nick , and yet you want to get married ? melanie : do i need to ask you to leave ? daniel : no , i am not leaving , i am gon na stay right here , and we are gon na deal with it , all of it , right now . rafe : okay , whatever you think you saw between me and sami , that was history , all right , because i am telling you there is no there , there . it 's done . nicole : mm - hmm . well , ej seems pretty plugged in about you and sami . rafe : oh , yeah , he does , does n't he ? nicole : mm - hmm . rafe : because he 's using the fact that i 'm the baby 's father to let her know that i 'm unavailable . nicole : but you 're not the baby 's father , and you are available . rafe : nicole -- nicole : you want to be with her . rafe : nicole , i do not want to be with her , and i am not gon na ever go back to her again . in fact , if i see her walking down the street , i 'm gon na cross to the other side because i do n't want to be near her , not now , not ever , all right ? nicole : oh , that is so not true . rafe : uh , yeah , it is . nicole : you know it as well as i do . will : ahh . sami : like a glove . will : wow . this is great . sami : yeah , it 's awesome . definitely think you 're gon na get heads turning in this . will : we 'll see . sami : speaking of which , how 's it going in that department ? will : oh , what department is that exactly ? sami : well , we just got through talking about my love life , right ? will : oh , um , yeah . i think it 's a little weird the other way around , um , since you 're my mom , and that department 's kind of closed . sami : well , i do n't believe that . will : yes , believe it . sami : look , will , i just think you have to learn to trust yourself and believe in who you are . if you do that , other people will see that , and they 'll respond to it , and they 're gon na love you for who you are too . will : thank you . um , thanks . you know what , y -- why do n't -- you should take the same advice . sami : [ scoffs ] ej : are we all set ? well , my dear , you 'll just have to find somewhere on the planet where daffodils are in season . hold on . that 's my lawyer on the other line , i 'll have to call you back . uh , try holland . justin , thank you for calling me . mm . i wanted to talk to you about nicole walker . i need your expertise in the matter . mm - hmm . billie : excuse me . ej : yeah . billie : excuse me . ej : one -- one second . billie : excuse me . ej : what ? billie : hi , do n't mean to bother you , but , um , it 's too good to pass by . are you still interested in nicole ? only six degrees separate the body temperature will : hello . um , i called in a takeout order for will . oh , yeah . i 'll get it for you . will : okay . tad : what is this , a gay bar now too ? wow , this town 's been invaded . will : that 's clever , now ...

rafe : we were friendly colleagues . melinda : how long did you work together ? rafe : it was , uh , a little bit over two years . melinda : and in all that time , did you ever see or hear anything that would make you think that joe bernardi was anything other than an honest , loyal officer in the salem police department ?

kate : he said that she waved a gun at him and told him to stay away from her and her family . sonny : okay , well , it sounds like he exaggerated a fight when he was at odds with our family . and that 's certainly how it has to sound when he 's on the stand . 'cause the prosecution is gon na subpoena him now for sure . kate : right . will : do you mind watching ari just for a little while ? kate : no , i would say i would love to do that . do you mind if i bring her by though to see rafe when he gets back from court ? will : no , of course not . okay . great . thank you . kate : okay . bye - bye , sweetie . will : bye . kate : bye .

'cause now i 'm old enough , and i 'm big enough to knock you straight on your ass . clyde : you know , jordan did n't just save you from me back then . she saved me from myself . if she had n't left with you -- ben : yeah , one of us might be dead . clyde : i know i needed that wake - up call . and i listened to it . ben : what else are you going to say ? clyde : well , there 's your girl . i 'll let you two have some fun . i hope you and i can talk again real soon . ben : so does that mean you 're sticking around ? clyde : well , like i said , i like it here in salem . met some real fine people , but bottom line is ... my kids are here . ben : [ breathes deeply ] abigail : you okay ? ben : i am now . i 'm off work , and you 're here . abigail : okay . [ chuckles ] what do you want to do ? ben : just be with you . abigail : i like that plan . ben : mwah ! brady : it 's -- it 's the company . it 's a business thing , some kind of crisis . i have to go back to the house and deal with it . theresa : yeah , but i thought that we were gon na talk about -- brady : i 'm sorry , you wan na -- there 's something you had to tell me . what was it ? theresa : it -- it 'll keep . just go do whatever you have to do , and i -- i 'll see you later . brady : okay , thank you for understanding . theresa : sure . [ exhales ] damn it . daniel : i have been reading up on drugs similar to this , but i -- kayla : none of them have the same lab results as this one does . daniel : we 're not just talking about lab tests , we are talking about brady 's father . i mean , we 're not even sure that this will work . kayla : i think that we 're at the point where we should do anything for john . you know , even if this drug does n't work , for me , it 's better than doing nothing . daniel : yeah , but why did we have to get it from kristen ? kayla : by way of stefano , no less . i 've been thinking the same thing . daniel : well , whether it works or not , we 're giving her another chance to mess with brady . and maybe this time ... she 'll destroy him . kristen : no , wait a minute . what 's the matter ? do n't you feel well ? where 's the snappy comeback ? marlena : you had your father develop an experimental drug to help john just to get one up on me . now , come on , what is that ? kristen : you know what , do whatever you want . do n't give him the drug . why do n't you just ship him off to some very sad facility and watch him die slowly , one inch at a time ? marlena : you know , if you 're involving brady in this in some vain hope of getting him back , if you 're getting his hopes up for no reason , there will be hell to pay . kristen : oh , i 'm scared , scared . why has n't daniel told her ? i know i gave him everything he needed . [ exhales ] god , maybe brady does n't even know . okay , look , this drug has to work . just hold on , kristen , this drug is going to work . that bastard better not double - cross me . [ gasps ] brady : hey , what was that phone call about ? it was so mysterious , you -- you 're in on this too ? kayla : yeah . brady : this is about my dad , is n't it ? daniel : yeah , it is big news . ben : this is n't really much of a dinner , but -- abigail : no , it 's fine . it 's great . ben : i wanted to take you to that new sushi spot near the pier , but -- abigail : but then you saw your father and you were n't in the mood anymore , right ? ben : when i did n't hear from him for a few days , i was hoping he kind of just left town . abigail : are you worried that he 's never going to leave ? ben : he keeps saying he likes it here . he likes the people . but he keeps trying to get me to believe that he 's not the same guy he was when i was a kid . abigail : but you do n't believe him ? ben : no , he knows how to turn on the charm when he wants something . but he 'll never change . not really . abigail : you know , my father was n't perfect either . in fact , he was far from it and -- ben : abigail , my father is nothing like yours . if you saw the way he was -- abigail : how was he , ben ? what did he do to you ? ben : i 'm not even going to get into it . i wanted this night just to be special for us . abigail : and it still can be . anne : so , i guess things did n't go well with brady ? theresa : they did n't go at all . anne : well , what happened ? theresa : well , i was gearing up to tell him that his crazy ex - girlfriend was threatening to throw me in the river , and then he got a phone call , and just took off . anne : oh , why ? theresa : i do n't know . he said it was work , i mean , at least that 's what he said . anne : okay , so is she really going to throw you in the river ? theresa : she just wants me out of the way . anne : well , then maybe you should get out of the way . i mean , if she 's so scary . look , there 's no guarantee that brady 's just going to get all protective , and come running back to you . theresa : but it 's a shot , anne , and let 's be honest , my window of opportunity is kind of closing here . anne : okay . theresa : [ exhales ] god . anne : i mean look , maybe they 'll transfer his father soon . theresa : no , 'cause then brady 'll be all worked up and i 'll feel guilty about that . i - i - i , oh god , i do n't know what to do . i do n't -- i do n't know . anne : well , you know , you may have better luck if you asked brady for his protection in a cozy , say less fluorescent , environment , if you know what i mean . anne : oh , my god . you 're a genius . ej : hmm , first marlena and now you . i better get out of this place before i run into jack the ripper . ej : well , i 'm sure you could handle jack the ripper . tell you what , you enjoy the fresh air and the freedom while you can , hmm ? kristen : look who 's talking . are n't you being indicted for cooking the books or something , ej ? ej : it 's a white - collar crime . it 's really small potatoes compared to drugging and raping a priest . kristen : and we could 've helped each other until you went over to the other side . ej : my wife 's side . kristen : no , your estranged wife 's side . i mean , jennifer 's daughter , chad 's girlfriend , really ? ej : i really do n't see any point in talking to you about this . kristen : well , neither do i. i find your domestic situation entirely too boring . ej : wonderful , then why do n't we just go our separate ways ? kristen : okay , you know what though , eej ? i just have to share this with you ; father 's been so incredibly helpful . i mean , really , he 's been very supportive , and i think things are looking up for me . ej : yeah ? [ laughs ] kristen : mm - hmm . i really do . ej : do n't make me laugh . kristen : i would n't dream of it . ej : why ? what have you done ? brady : what is all this ? daniel : it 's information on an experimental drug , one that 's not even on the market . kayla : that 's why we did n't tell you about it . daniel : and we think it may be able to bring your father out of his coma . brady : the -- all the top specialists that you brought in , how come they did n't say anything about this drug ? daniel : because they did n't know about it . brady : the top guys in the field did n't know this drug existed ? and you want to use this on my dad ? daniel : yes , yes . the drug reacts on nerve cells in the lower part of the brain , the brain stem . kayla : and these nerve cells are responsible for maintaining a waking state . daniel : they rely on neurotransmitters like neoepinephrine and dopamine to turn on cell groups in the upper part of the brain . kayla : we 're really excited about this drug 's potential . daniel : and we really do n't see a down side . the only thing , the worst thing , that could actually happen is nothing . kayla : and john stays just like he is . daniel : so we need your permission to do this . brady : when ? daniel : as soon as possible . brady : this could bring him back ? kayla : yes . brady : why did n't you tell me -- why did n't you tell me about this before ? kayla : we did n't want to get your hopes up until we had checked it out . brady : and did you ? kayla : yes . i want to do it . let 's do it . daniel : okay , well , hold on . there 's something else you need to know . the person who brought us this drug ... it 's kristen . sami : you know when your daddy was little , i would give him these plums , i think it was , just a spoonful . and then he would blow this big raspberry , and all the plums would end up all over me , and he would have this big grin on his face . it was so funny to him . but that was a long time ago . i 'll get you that address you need . theresa : anne , brady getting that phone call , it was a good thing because now i can tell him that i need to meet him somewhere private . anne : yeah , like under a quilt with a roaring fireplace . theresa : and he can hold me tight and tell me that everything 's going to be fine . anne : and then one thing could lead to another and -- theresa : and luckily i know exactly where that place is . anne : ahh . kristen : i thought you were so eager to get away from me . ej : my relationship with you is what came between me and samantha . so if you can my father are cooking anything up that involves her in any way -- kristen : you have got to be kidding me ! she set you up . she had you arrested . she and kate took the company away from you and father . and you 're worried what she 's going to think about what i 'll do ? ej : yes . kristen : see , team of wild horses , dessert cream , mashed potatoes , ej dimera -- ej : what are you doing ? kristen : thinking up of a list of things that are whipped . when are you going to stop letting sami do your thinking for you ? ej : that 's not how it works . kristen : really ? she allowed you to make me your enemy , and that was not smart . ej : [ chuckles ] i 'm shaking in my boots . kristen : you should be . [ exhales ] really ? i have n't heard anything from brady , not even a text . i have to know what 's going on , i do n't care what happens . brady : kristen gave you this drug ? daniel : mm - hmm . brady : how did that happen ? daniel : well , remember when i found her in your dad 's room ? i think she got some information on his chart , and -- [ knocking ] daniel : okay , whoever that is , you came here for an update on your dad 's condition . marlena : i saw kristen . she said you have the drug she wants for john . daniel : yeah , come on in . come on in . marlena : oh , you told brady . brady : i 'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this , but ... they 're telling me that this drug may help him . marlena : really ? are you sure ? kayla : daniel and i did research on the drug 's properties . daniel : and an analysis on it 's active ingredients . there is nothing that could harm john . marlena : so it 's legitimate ? there 's -- it 's not a placebo ? kayla : mm - hmm , it could be the one thing that brings him back . marlena : are you going to do it ? brady : yeah , i 'm going to do it . daniel : in spite of the fact that kristen made this happen ? brady : i want to help my dad . i do n't care where it came from . and you 're telling me this could -- could work . daniel : yes . brady : then what are we standing here for ? let 's get down to the hospital and do this . daniel : let 's go . this is a pip . ben : i just wish things were less complicated for both of us . abigail : yeah . you know , since we ca n't control what goes on around us , maybe -- maybe we should keep things between us , you know , uncomplicated . ben : really ? uh , how uncomplicated ? abigail : oh , no , i did n't mean completely uncomplicated . ben : oh . [ chuckles ] well , good , because the two of us , that 's one complication i 've kind of been looking forward to . abigail : oh , yeah ? ben : mm - hmm . sami : so i sent it to you , the address . did you get it ? [ phone chirps ] will : i got it , thanks . sami : great . anything else ? will : yeah . arianna 's not the only one who misses you . sami : [ chuckles ] i guess i just do n't understand , will , how could you miss someone who could do such horrible things that you had to write an article about it ? will : i do n't miss her . i miss the woman that i wrote about in the beginning of the article . you remember , i was in first grade . and i came home from school , and i told you about this big kid that punched me on the bus . the very next morning , you got on the bus with me , and you told that kid that if he ever messed with me again , he 'd have to deal with you . sami : [ laughs ] will : i miss her . sami : well , i 'm that woman too . but i 'm also a woman who was very deeply wounded by the man that she wants to spend the rest of her life with . and when someone hurts me , or the people i love , i hurt them back . and i 'm willing to pay that price . i 'm not a perfect person . i 'm not a perfect mother . and i understand that if this was fiction , i would n't be the heroine . but you do n't get to pick which parts of me you accept . you know , that 's not love , and that 's not what real family is all about . you do n't have to agree with everything , or like all the decisions that i make , but ... if you accept me , then you got ta take all of me . and if you do n't , then -- then that 's your choice , but then you decide to walk away , and you -- and you get nothing . clyde : well , mr. dimera . ej : pat him down . clyde : hey , wait a second . ej : let 's go . clyde : all right , hold on . mr. dimera , i - i get it . i 'm sorry . daniel : well , we 're all set up . i 'll be giving your dad the injection in -- in a few minutes . brady : thanks . okay , i think i 've -- i think i signed everything . kayla : all right , great . i 'll make sure this gets in your dad 's records , and you have his medical proxy , right ? brady : yes , and the hospital has a copy . kayla : perfect . anne : oh , hi . where have you been all morning ? kayla : why do you need to know ? anne : well , i 'm just trying to find out when john black is going to be transferred . kayla : well , you 're head of human resources , so i do n't think that mr. black 's treatment is any of your business . excuse me , thank you . anne : hmm . [ phone rings ] brady : this has to be really hard for you . marlena : my only concern ... our only concern ... is your father 's life . now , let 's hope . brady : yeah . and i - i do believe that kristen 's doing this for me . and as much as i despise her now ... i ca n't hate her for that . theresa : thanks . henderson : i did n't see mr. black come in . i do n't think he 's here . theresa : oh , well he told me that he was coming here . henderson : then perhaps i 'm wrong . theresa : perhaps you are . henderson : if i find him , i 'll tell him you 're waiting for him . theresa : you do that . okay . [ exhales ] brady , i - i do n't really know how to tell you this , but ... it 's about kristen . well , she knows we have this ... relationship , and she said some really frightening things to me . um ... look , i - i did n't really want to bother you with this because you 're so worried about your dad , but it 's just that she really scares me . and i - i - i hear a noise in my apartment , and i think that she 's broken in , and i - i ca n't sleep , or eat , or -- [ door opens ] both : what are you doing here ? how you doing in there , baby girl ?

[ laughs ] will : here we go . sami : oh , okay , okay . will : hi . hi . sami : bye . will : bye . sami : [ exhales ] will : well , that was n't so bad , was it ? i mean , it could have been a lot worse . sami : [ sniffs ] miguel : he 's clean . ej : make sure we 're not disturbed . you 've been pursuing me rather aggressively , mr. weston . clyde : that 's the way i do business . ej : and why should i do business with you ? why should i trust you ? in fact , can you give me one good reason why i should let you live ? daniel : well , i 'm all set up to give him the injection now . [ monitor beeping ] brady : come on , dad . this has to work . theresa : [ scoffs ] well , not that it 's any of your business , but i came here to talk to brady about you , and he is n't going to like the things that you said to me . kristen : he 'll get over it . theresa : he 's not going to get over you barging into his house , and neither will victor . kristen : i think they both will . i 'm here to deliver some amazing news . theresa : oh , really , amazing news from you , really , huh ? kate : yeah , actually from me . i found a drug treatment for john . he 's going to come out of a coma , he 's going to make a complete recovery . theresa : [ gasps ] [ glass shatters ] | theresa told anne that she planned on using kristen 's threats against her to get brady back . kristen ran into marlena and they argued over whether daniel and kayla used the drug that she told them would save john . ej reminded sami that he only wanted one chance to prove himself to her . ej believed that she could beat stefano . theresa wanted to talk to brady . kristen knew that kayla and daniel would use the drug for john . kristen and marlena continued to argue over john and brady . daniel interrupted brady 's conversation with theresa because he wanted to see him . will went to see sami . he wanted to try to make things right with her . theresa decided not to tell brady about kristen when daniel called him . marlena warned kristen that she would pay if she 's just getting brady 's hopes up about the drug that 's going to save john . after marlena walked off , kristen ran into ej . |

[ sniffs ] i know that had to be very hard to hear , but paul ... you need to stay positive on this , okay ? you hearing me ? you need to stay positive , because that will make all the difference . paul : [ sighs ] when that , uh ... when that torn rotator cuff ended my pitching career , i thought , that 's it . that 's it , my life is over . roman : but it was n't , was it ? paul : no . roman : not over now , either . this is just the beginning of a new chapter . all right ? is it going to be tough ? you 're damn right it 's going to be tough . and no , we do n't have all the answers . but the lucky thing here is you got a partner in this . a very good man who will be there for you all the way . will : so , yeah , i 'm glad that we 're -- we 're on the same page about paul . sonny : yeah , he 's dealing with enough right now . there 's no need to pile on . will : yeah . right , so , so , so -- so we agree . we say nothing to paul about us . we -- we do n't tell him that my feelings for you have come back . we definitely do n't tell him that , you know , we 're going to get back together . sonny : no , it 's not the right time . will : yeah . sonny : you know , i think right now , our only concern is just helping paul through his recovery . and of course , praying for marlena . will : yeah . well , i should actually probably get back to the hospital . sonny : okay , just please call me if you hear anything . will : yeah . sonny . what happened to paul is horrible . and we 're going to be there for him 1,000 % . but i just want you to know that i love you so much . [ soft music ] sonny : i love you , too . lucas : what are you saying ? what do you mean the baby will be gone , huh ? belle : our baby . if you do n't help us , they will ship me back to statesville , and our baby will be placed in foster care with strangers who are probably just there for the check . lucas : you know what ? i 'm not buying it . bonnie : oh , come on , you still do n't believe me ? lucas : no , not until i get that paternity test you mentioned . bonnie : then go for it . lucas : i will , definitely . sheila : oh , it 's on , now . bonnie : look , i know this is a shock to you . i 'm sure you were figuring that you were done in the kid department . believe you me , so did i . honestly . but this baby ... she 's a miracle . [ laughs ] she 's my miracle . sheila : and praise the lord . bonnie : i just wanted to find a nice , quiet place to settle down and raise this little lovebug , and i did . and then that patchy the pirate found me , and he dragged my ass back to salem . lucas : why did n't you tell steve about it ? why did n't you tell steve about our bundle of joy when he picked you up ? bonnie : because i thought i could give him the slip . all right ? but no such luck . oh , god , and believe me , if it was just me in this sucky situation , i 'd be able to handle it just fine , but now ... now i 've got baby bonnie to think about . [ baby coos ] lucas : baby bonnie ? you named a baby bonnie ? bonnie : yes . it has kind of a ring to it , does n't it ? paul : you 're right , will is amazing . [ sighs ] but this , uh -- this might be more than he can handle . i 'm not sure he 'll want a future with a man who 's confined to a wheelchair . roman : paul , did you not just hear what the doctor told you ? you could very well get feeling back in your legs -- paul : and if i do n't -- roman : then you will figure it out . with family and friends . and most important , with the man in your life who is committed to you and will be there for you no matter what . kayla : jen , hi . jennifer : hey , hi . kayla : i 'm sorry , i did n't know you were here . jennifer : no , it 's okay . i just was , uh ... just came to check up on you . you know , last we spoke , you were ... you were looking for steve , and you were going to talk to him about what you were keeping from him about stefan . kayla : uh , yeah , right . that 's what -- i was , yeah . jennifer : what happened ? kayla : um , i 'm going to have to wait now . um , steve was called out of town on business , and uh ... he -- he really did n't have time to go into detail , so i do n't know when he 'll be back . jennifer : oh . kayla : i hope soon . jennifer : yeah , okay . kayla : so tell me , um ... what 's going on with eric ? how is he ? jennifer : eric and i went to the chapel a while ago , 'cause we just wanted to pray for a little bit , and he said that he thought kristen was evil . kayla : i agree with that . jennifer : he was talking about specifically when kristen was taunting sami about ej , and ... and he said that he thought it was cruel that someone would try to keep two people apart that were meant to be together , and then ... kayla , i realized that is exactly what i am doing to eric by not telling him what i know about nicole . i am as bad as kristen . kayla : you absolutely are not . jennifer : yes , i am . because i am denying him the chance to live the life and have the family that he wanted , so how am i any different , kayla ? kayla : uh , well , let 's see . kristen dimera is a deranged liar , and you are a compassionate , loving person . jennifer : no . i am not so sure . [ edgy music ] kayla : you know , when you talked about this before , i agreed with you . i thought that you should keep quiet . but as hard as that was , it was for the greater good . but seeing how upset you are about all this , i think i was wrong . belle : you ca n't be serious . john : oh , you bet i am . belle : you want me to just pretend that i have n't seen mom 's directive ? john : the hospital does n't know about it . so your mother is going to remain on that ventilator for as long as it takes , till she 's better . belle : dad , i know how hard this is . john : i do n't -- i do n't think you do . i do n't think you have any idea . i do n't think you know what your mother and i have -- have battled and overcome . i do n't think you realize that i spent half of my life in darkness , just looking for a home , and i -- i found it ! marlena is my home . it does n't matter where the hell i am in this world . she is the one beacon of light that pulls me back where i belong , and if you think i 'm going to give that light up now , young lady , you 've got another think coming . i will never give up on your mother ! not because some damn piece of paper tells me . you back me up here on this one . you tell your sister right now to tear up this piece of paper here before anyone 's the wiser . belle : [ sobs ] [ dramatic music ] lucas : i can not believe you named your baby bonnie . bonnie : oh , what ? men can name their kids after themselves , but women ca n't now ? sheila : that 's right . sing it , sister . bonnie : exactly . i was thinking beyoncé as a middle name . or maybe bubbles . lucas : you know what , that 's it , i am out of here . bonnie : no , wait , wait . you ca n't go . lucas , please , you ca n't run out on your family . you 've got to help us , please . lucas : i am not doing a damn thing until i know that baby 's mine . [ baby coos ] bonnie : baby bonnie needs a fresh diaper . sheila : oh , forget it . now , i am not the maid , and i 'm for sure not the nanny . lucas : well then , who in the hell are you ? bonnie : she is a dear friend who is going to take this little angel outside , so i can please talk to her father . please . oh , watch her head . sheila : and the favors keep adding up . [ light music ] lucas : fine , what ? bonnie : if you do n't help us , i will be shipped back to statesville . please , ca n't you just talk -- ca n't you just talk to adrienne ? lucas : what do you want me to say , huh ? bonnie : tell her to cut me a break ! i begged her myself , mother to mother , but she turned me down . but i know , lucas , i know you can change her mind . lucas : why would she listen to me ? what are you talking about ? bonnie : because that woman owes you big time for the way she dumped you . lucas : she did n't dump me . you dumped me ! adrienne was in prison ! bonnie : when she came back home , she did it for real . now , i just know if you just went to her , and you just asked her for this simple solid , just a simple , little solid , that it would make all that hurt go away , and i know that she 'd say yes to you , lucas . she would say yes . lucas : unbelievable . what , what precisely , is the damn solid ? bonnie : you just ask adrienne to ask the da to drop the charges against me , so i do n't lose our baby bon - bon , please . please , papa bear , please . [ exhales ] wo n't you help us ? will : hey . roman : hey , will . i was just talking about you . will : oh , um , good things , i hope . roman : yeah , i was just telling paul how lucky he was to have a guy like you on his team . paul : of course , i already knew that . roman : all right , listen . uh , i 'm going to let you two talk , okay ? will : okay , it was good to see you , grandpa . roman : yeah , good to see you , too , will . you , hang in there . paul : you know it . and uh , roman , um ... i know people are worried , so it 's fine if you want to tell them what 's going on . roman : all right . [ soft music ] will : what is going on ? paul : i , uh ... i think you should sit down . will : why ? why -- why -- why ? what -- what did kayla say ? paul : well , uh ... apparently , the injuries are worse than they initially thought . will : mm - hmm . paul : from what they 're saying , i , uh ... i may never walk again . [ exhales ] [ soft music ] will : i 'm so sorry . we 're going to -- we 're going to get you -- we 're going to get you through this , all right ? we 're -- we 're -- we 're -- i mean , starting with , of course , a second opinion . you 're going to see the best doctors in the world , and we 're -- [ stammers ] whatever you need . paul : thanks , but , uh ... will : but -- but what ? paul : you know , i was -- i was trying to be brave with roman , you know ? but the truth is , i am scared as hell . what if there 's nothing that can be done ? what if -- what if i 'm paralyzed for life ? john : come on , eric . tell your sister to destroy this document right now . eric : [ sniffles ] i do n't think i can do that . john : what do you mean you ca n't do that ? come on , you 're not -- you 're not a priest anymore . it 's not like you 're committing a mortal sin here . eric : because i do n't think it would be right . john : [ stammers ] i 'm not asking you to betray your mother 's wishes here -- belle : that 's exactly what you 're asking me to do , dad . she signed that of her own free will . john : [ stammers ] maybe -- maybe she just did n't really fully understand what all this meant . belle : she is a very smart woman , and she would n't have made a choice like this without thinking about it long and hard . eric : why do n't we just take a few minutes ? belle : oh , please . we 've spent too much time already . i need to get this to kayla . john : no , no , no . i 'm not letting you do that . belle : dad , i know what you 're feeling , okay ? because i 'm feeling it , too . but the law does not care about our feelings . john : what are you doing ? are you going to go lawyer on me now ? belle : dad , i 'm trying to explain the reality of the situation . you do n't have legal standing here . john : what the hell are you talking about ? i 'm her husband . belle : no , you 're not . you were n't married to her when she had those papers drawn up , and you 're still not . john : oh , my god . [ sniffles ] so , i just , uh ... just give me some time . i -- i need a -- i need a couple hours . uh , you can give me that , right ? belle : sorry , dad , i can't . [ somber music ] jennifer : kayla , i do want to tell eric the truth , but you -- kayla : but you 're afraid . jennifer : yes , how could i not be afraid , kayla ? kayla : because eric loves you , and he wants to marry you . jennifer : by default , yes . kayla : no . jennifer : he has no idea the real reason that nicole left town . he does n't know that brady forced nicole to leave . if he knew that nicole was still so deeply in love with him when she left , he would -- kayla : what -- what do you think he 's going to do ? you think he 's just going to drop everything , and go run off to find her ? jennifer : yeah , maybe . you saw sami 's reaction at just the mention of ej 's name , kayla . kayla : well , you know what ? eric is not sami , and they are completely different situations . jennifer : kayla , i know that eric cares about me . but i am not the one . i am the one that he settled for , and after what i 've done , i do n't deserve him . kayla : you know what i think ? i think that you have eve donovan in your head now . look at that ring on your finger . look at it , come on . eric chose you . he wants to marry you . i understand that you are afraid of losing the man you love . and that fear can be very powerful . jennifer : yes , i know that you have a fear of losing steve over the secret that you 've been keeping , but we both know that 's not going to happen , kayla . sonny : yeah , that 's all i really know . okay , okay , mom . i 'll talk to you soon . roman : hey . sonny : hey , roman . roman : hey , how you doing ? sonny : i mean , i 'm okay . you know , i was going to go check on paul , but i did n't want to intrude , so i 'm just waiting on an update from will . roman : yeah , well , will 's in there with him now . sonny : well , hopefully , he 'll call soon , because i 'm -- i 'm really worried about paul . roman : the outlook is not great , sonny . sonny : what do you mean ? roman : well , paul gave me the okay to tell people , so ... he might not walk again . sonny : oh , my god . roman : but , you know , try to remember this . there is some good here . paul fell three stories , lived to tell the tale . he 's young , he 's strong , and surrounded by a whole bunch of people that love him . and i 'm real glad that will came by the hospital when he did . paul is going to need him now more than ever . will : [ exhales ] i know you 're scared . but you are the bravest person i have ever met . i mean , you risked your life to save my mom . paul : i 'm not feeling so brave right now . will : it 's okay . you 're not alone . your friends , your family -- we 're all here , you know ? we 're -- we 're going to be here with you . so you do n't have to be afraid . paul : how could i be with you by my side ? will : i promise you ... i 'm going to be here with you and for you through all of this . lucas : this is just a nightmare , that 's what this is . a total nightmare . bonnie : listen , listen . i need you to focus , all right ? now you need to go to adrienne pronto , and convince her to forgive and forget . and look , if she says no , just figure out another way to get me out of this jam . lucas : i never agreed to help you , did i ? and there 's no proof that baby bonnie -- god , i hate that name . there 's no proof that that baby is mine . bonnie : i told you , i 'd take the swab , we 'll do the swab . lucas : you know , i can see . i can see you 're working really hard here , and you know what ? you 're being very convincing . but if you think for a nanosecond that i 'm buying this , you got another think coming . bonnie : i am telling you the truth , please ! lucas : no you 're not . you 're lying . you 're doing some kind of con , some kind of scam , are n't you ? you know what , you 're on your own , lady . you 're on your own , that 's it . bonnie : no , wait , wait , wait ! wait , look , i know you 're freaked out , i know it . and i know you 're still angry at adrienne , but please do n't take it out on me , please . lucas : guard ! bonnie : no , fine , fine ! we 'll leave adrienne out of it . this is n't about her , anyway . it 's about us . lucas : there is no us ! let me go , let me go . bonnie : listen to me ! we created a life , and we have to take responsibility for that life . lucas , that child is yours . she is a part of you , and she needs you . my god , if you wo n't do it for me , do it for your daughter . tech : at safelite autoglass , sonny : well , is there any -- any hope that paul might walk again ? roman : there 's always hope . sonny : so kayla did n't rule it out completely ? roman : no , no . but no matter what , paul has got a long , hard road ahead of him . sonny : yeah , well , we 're going to help however we can . roman : yeah . hey , listen , i , uh ... i want to get back in there , and check on john . sonny : yeah , is there any news on marlena ? i told my mom i would keep her updated . roman : no , it 's just kind of wait and see right now . sonny : please tell john that he 's in my prayers . roman : i will do that . my god , his wife fighting for her life , and now this news about paul . i really do n't know how i 'm going to tell him . [ somber music ] kayla : steve knows how much i love him , and that all i 've ever wanted is the best for him . and i just have to trust that he 's going to be okay with what i tell him . jennifer : he will be , i know it . but kayla , it 's different with me and eric . i do n't think he 's going to be as understanding about this whole situation . and what do i do ? what if i tell him the truth , and he does go looking for nicole ? kayla : you know , i do n't think he will . and if he does , you know in your heart that you were honest . our secrets can come back to haunt us . [ somber music ] belle : dad , listen . we can debate this all day , but the bottom line is ... [ sharply inhales ] by law , i have to take this to kayla . john : i love you , isabella . [ sniffles ] i 'll always love my baby girl . but i have never been more disappointed in you in my life . belle : [ stammers ] i 'm just doing what mom -- john : mom wanted ? belle : [ sniffs ] john : maybe . belle : [ exhales ] john : but as her husband ... oh , i 'm so sorry , counselor . i mean , as the guy who was two seconds away from marrying her before a bulled slammed into her chest , if there is even a glimmer of hope that she 's going to come back to us , i 'm going to hold on to that . belle : yeah . john : i just wish that her daughter could find it in her heart to do the same . belle : daddy , i -- john : if you love her , really love your mother ... you will forget that you ever saw this document . belle : [ whimpers ] [ sobs ] eric : hey . belle : [ sniffles ] eric : it 's okay , he just -- he 's scared , that 's all . we all are . belle : [ sobs ] what am i supposed to do ? eric : i do n't know . but mom , she ... she made you her proxy for a reason . belle : [ sniffles ] eric : she knows you 're going to find the right answer . belle : oh , yeah . [ sniffs ] [ exhales ] [ dark music ] it 's tough to top an original . bonnie : i swear to god , this is not a scam . that baby belongs to you and me . you have my word . lucas : oh , your word , right . now i believe you . bonnie : lucas , the clock is ticking . if you do n't do something soon , i 'll be sent back to the slammer , and our daughter will go god knows where with god knows who . and can you really live with that ?

[ chuckles ] you owe me big time . calling me out of the blue , asking me to pick up your baby . a baby i did n't even know existed . bonnie : sorry . your birth announcement must have got lost in the mail . sheila : [ scoffs ] it looks like big daddy horton 's did too . so , i guess he declined helping you out , huh ? bonnie : he 'll come around . because that 's what decent people do when someone is in need . they put their own needs to the side and to the back burner , and they step up . they step up , right , baby ? [ baby coos ] bonnie : oh , baby . [ exhales ] will : hey . um ... i have news about paul . sonny : i heard . will : then you know how serious it is . sonny : yeah . will : paul told me he 's afraid he 's never going to walk again . i -- i promised him i would be there for him through all of it . but , sonny , i -- i -- i still feel the same way about you . i love you . i 'm in love with you . i want to be with you . right , this does n't have to be -- this does n't have to be the end for us . sonny : yes , it does . john : [ exhales ] hey , kid . i have n't stopped thinking about you for a second .

are you thirsty ? eric : no , mom , we 're fine . but hey , would you mind watching holly for us for a little while ? marlena : not at all , but why ? nicole : because i have to go to the police station and make a full statement on what kristen dimera did to me . kristen : john , you must be here to thank me for my cooperation . john : i 'm not here to thank you . i 'm here to tell you to stay the hell away from my boy . kristen : oh , my , my , someone is testy today . just the thought of me going anywhere near brady makes you -- john : sick ?

sonny : i mean , i can only speak from my own experience , but , um , you know , i did love paul , and i was going to marry him . but , deep down , in my heart and in my soul , i knew that you were the only one for me . so i 'm pretty sure that 's what eric is feeling about nicole right now . will : so sarah 's gon na get her hear broken , and all we can do is be there for her ? sonny : well , we can start right now . i think she 's upstairs . [ doorbell rings ] [ dramatic music ] stefan : yes , my mother is alive . so what ? eli : i 'd like to question her . stefan : why ? she had nothing to do with kate 's shooting . eli : she had motive . kate shot her first . do you have any idea where vivian is ? gabi : she 's upstairs . eli : i need to speak with her , now . brady : why ? why would you feel like you have to apologize to me ? nicole : because kristen used me . she transformed herself into me so she could take advantage of you , and i let it happen . i mean , i even coached her on how to pull it off . brady : nicole , nicole , i do n't -- listen to me . i do n't blame you for that . kristen was threatening you . you needed to save holly . nicole : i did . brady : nicole , there is nothing to forgive , okay ? eric : then how about you forgive me ? brady : for what ? eric : accusing you of trying to get close to nicole , taking advantage of her grief . brady : no , look , eric . that was -- that was kristen behind her mask , torturing you , trying to make you feel guilty for holly 's death . that was just -- i knew you were out of your mind , man . eric : i was , but i never should have taken it out on you . i 'm just angry at myself for not seeing through it . brady : if anybody should have seen through it , it should have been me , you know ? autumn and kristen and i , we were intimate -- nicole : okay , okay . all right , all right . you know what ? it 's over . it 's over now . neither one of you should blame yourselves or each other . this entire thing was no one 's fault but kristen 's , so can we just put this behind us ? can we all agree on that ? eric : hey , we should get to station . brady : i 'll let you go . i 'll see you later . marlena : brady ? hi . brady : hi , hi . um , i 'm sorry i 'm here unannounced . marlena : it 's all right . you okay ? brady : yeah , yeah . i 'm fine , i 'm fine . i actually came by to see you and dad , and i -- the door opened , and there was nicole . marlena : incredible , huh ? brady : i 'm just relieved everything worked out the way it did . i think things are gon na be better , actually . between eric and i from now on . it was still just a shock to see the real nicole . marlena : what about the fake nicole ? brady : kristen ? she 's behind bars . marlena : well , i guess everybody 's back in salem now , so she 's fulfilled the terms of her agreement . i guess she 'll go free . i do hope that does n't mean she 'll walk out of jail into your arms . stefan : i ca n't allow you to question my mother . eli : why not , stefan ? stefan : well , first of all , she had nothing to do with kate being shot . she came straight here from chicago . she 's been with me ever since . eli : if you 're lying , you know that makes you an accessory , right ? stefan : i 'm not lying . eli : then let me speak with her . tell her to come downstairs , or i can go up there myself . it really all is the same to me . stefan : well , it 's not the same to me without a warrant . you see , my mother 's exhausted . she 's been through quite the ordeal . in fact , she 's sleeping right now , but when she wakes up , i 'll have her call you , so . eli : well , you 've been awfully quiet , gabi . you know anything about kate 's shooting ? sonny : vivian . will : you 're , um , dead . sonny : what are you doing here ? vivian : oh , at the moment , i 'm looking for where you boys hid the bar cart . will : no , he means how are you here ? vivian : oh , as i understand , you and i are the recipients of a really miraculous injection . will : mm , rolf 's serum . vivian : yes , yes . he restored my life . then he restored my memory , which is quite a miracle after what your grandmother did to me . will : what do you want ? vivian : i came to apologize to sonny , well , and to you too . it was really wrong of me to hire that horrible leo starke to come after you . sonny : he did n't come after me . he falsely accused me of sexual harassment . vivian : when he found out that i was dead , he gave up being able to get his grubby little hands on any more money , so he probably slithered back from whence he came . sonny : no , actually , kate took over your little plan . vivian : really ? my , my , my , she 's even more ruthless than i thought . will : we moved past that , but it all started with you , vivian . you tried to destroy sonny 's life . you cost him his job . you cost him his reputation , his dignity . vivian : i 'm really deeply sorry for that . understand that , at the time , i was blinded by my need for revenge . sonny : so what , we 're just supposed to let it go ? vivian : there 's nothing i can do about the past , but i promise you i 'm going to be a better person . will : yeah , i do n't believe you . vivian : nearly dying can change a person . you ought to know that . i just want to make amends to everyone that i 've ever harmed . and i know there are a lot of people . so i 'm beginning with the two of you , and next , there would be maggie . is she at home ? both : no . vivian : okay , then . next in line would be your grandmother , kate . now , i went to the dimera mansion . she is n't there . i also checked all of her other haunts in town . she was nowhere to be found , so do you have any idea where she might be ? will : you expect me to believe that you want to make amends to kate after she shot you ? vivian : my enemies can not forgive me unless i forgive my enemies . we 've just got ta learn to live together peacefully , so think of me as an ambassadress of goodwill . sarah : hey , i just got a call from the hospital . your grandmother , kate , is in surgery . will : what -- what -- what happened ? sarah : apparently , she was shot . will : she was shot ? who -- who shot her ? sarah : i do n't have any of the details . will : we got ta get to the hospital . sonny : i 'll drive , i 'll drive . vivian : well , oh , dear . i should be going , too . sarah : you 're not going anywhere . kristen : you know , never mind . i already know the answer to my question . you 're here because you 're worried . because you know the pull between brady and me is as strong as ever . he was the first one here when i was brought in . he raced to my side . john : only to get information on nicole and holly . kristen : you can throw every excuse you want at me . the fact remains . the connection between me and your son is undeniable . i see it in his eyes . the way he looks at me when we 're together . i could feel it when we made love . john : he thought you were nicole . kristen : yeah , he says that , but he knew . no , on some level , he knew it was me , and once he accepts that , once he admits that i am under his skin and i always will be , well , the next thing you know , i 'll be calling you daddy . eric : hey , nicole , nicole ! nicole : you evil bitch ! i 'm a big kid now gabi : i know absolutely nothing about kate 's shooting . eli : you sure about that ? gabi : i would tell you if i did . kate is my friend . vivian , on the other hand , i am not a fan of , actually . that 's why i did n't hesitate to tell you she was here . i thought you were gon na drag her off . stefan : as i 've said , my mother 's not going anywhere . eli : when vivian wakes up , tell her i will be back with a warrant , and when i do come back , i 'll have some more questions for you . stefan : oh , like , what ? my favorite color ? eli : i 'd like to know where you were when kate was shot . vivian may be our number - one suspect , but you are a very close second . you should probably get a lawyer too . gabi : do you have an alibi ? stefan : gabi , i do n't -- gabi : the cops are all over this , okay ? you need to protect yourself . stefan : i 'm more concerned right now with protecting my mother . gabi , thank you for not ratting her out . gabi : i did n't do it for her . i did it for you . i love you , and i know you do n't want to lose your mother again . stefan : she means the world to me . gabi : i know , but vivian 's a freaking menace . well , she 's been back all of five minutes , and the police commissioner is grilling you about an attempted murder . do n't sigh at me , please . stefan : i 'm not sighing at you . i 'm just preparing myself to tell my mother that kate survived . vivian : i beg your pardon ? sarah : i recognize you , vivian alamain . vivian : and you would be ? sarah : sarah horton . the daughter of the woman you tried to bury alive . vivian : oh , you mean maggie . sarah : there was more than one ? vivian : it was ages ago . i 'm a changed woman now . a near - death experience will do that to you . sarah : you were shot , right ? vivian : yes , in cold blood by a vicious , vindictive slut . but i have been recuperating for the past year with dr . rolf in chicago . sarah : wait , you must have been there with holly and nicole . vivian : yes , until they escaped . and then that eric brady showed up looking for them . eric : he found them , and now eric and nicole have been reunited . vivian : you do n't seem too happy about that . [ clamoring ] kristen : what the hell is wrong with you ? nicole : what the hell do you think is wrong with me ? you stole my face . you stole my whole life . you would have done anything to get what you wanted , including trying to kill my daughter ! well , you know what , kristen ? i was your prisoner , but i 'm free now . and you 're gon na spend the rest of your pathetic life rotting behind bars . kristen : oh , wrong . i made a deal with the mayor . i told jack exactly where you were in exchange for complete immunity . and here you are . so my information was good , and now it 's my turn to go free . nicole : oh , i would n't be so sure about that , kristen . i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis . nicole : it 's -- it 's okay . i know about your whole deal with jack . eric told me everything . kristen : then you know the mayor promised me immunity . nicole : he had no choice . holly and i were missing . you were the only one who knew where we were . kristen : i 'm sorry . should n't you be thanking me ? you , the kid , lover boy here are all together now . is n't that what you wanted ? nicole : oh , you would just love to paint yourself as the hero here , now , would n't you ? but you are nothing but a psycho . i know that . eric knows that . and i 'm gon na give my statement , talk to the police and the press , and then , the whole world is gon na know all the demented things you did to me , and i would n't be the least bit surprised if jack tore up your little deal , locked you in a cage , and threw away the key . kristen : they wo n't do that . nicole : they wo n't do that ? i guess you do n't read much , because jacks ' whole campaign was about being tougher on crime . that 's how he got elected , so how do you think the public will react ? kristen : well , it 's not my problem . is it , now ? look at you , a bunch of ingrates . i dragged you from that burning building . i saved your life . i gave holly back her mama . and what , i do n't even get an ounce of gratitude ? eric : you want us to thank you ? you 've caused our families unbelievable pain ! kristen : yeah , a lot of pain , and it 's for good reason . the best reason . everything i did , every action i took , that was to get back the love of my life . nicole : you deceived brady in the most twisted way . kristen : well , i would n't be talking , honey . you went right along with the plan . nicole : i did n't have a choice ! kristen : you even coached me on how to be you eric : you made us believe that holly was dead . nicole : and then you blamed eric . you used my child to break his heart , you -- john : and when i took that mask off your face , you broke his heart all over again , did n't you ? kristen : oh , my god , i admit it , i admit it , okay ? yes , i pushed eric away . i will admit that . but guess what ? i did n't make him fall in love with another woman . nicole : how could you -- stupid ! sarah : of course i 'm happy for eric . why would n't i be ? he 's been reunited with the love of his life . vivian : so you said before . i did n't buy your jubilation the first time . sarah : excuse me ? vivian : methinks the lady doth protest too much . so what 's the story ? was there a thing going on between you and eric , or what ? sarah : the whole town knows we got involved after we thought nicole had died , but that 's over . vivian : and why is that ? sarah : because i have resigned myself to the fact that eric wants to be with nicole now . vivian : boy , did i read you wrong . a moment ago , when you stopped me from going out of the door , i thought , `` there 's one feisty little pistol . `` but i was wrong . you 're just like your mother . namby - pamby , goody two shoes . a wimp . sarah : where do you get off , talking to me like that ? vivian : if you were smart , you 'd listen to me . i 've gotten to know the other woman over the past few months , and i can tell you , the word `` resigned `` is not in her vocabulary . she 's as feisty as they come . sarah : what 's your point ? vivian : my point ? let 's see . she is a feisty , fiery woman , and that 's clearly what eric likes . and clearly , you still care a lot about him . so i ask you , why are you giving up so easily ? stefan : my mother 's gone . gabi : maybe she went to go kill somebody else . stefan : gabi , this is serious . gabi : i do n't know what to say . maybe vivian overheard us talking about kate , she went to the hospital to finish her off . stefan : that was my thought , too , but -- but i still have the gun . gabi : well , we both know there 's more than one way to skin a cat . you should probably go find her before it 's too late . eli : the guard told me what happened in here . kristen : oh , you mean nicole attacking me ? eli : come on , it 's time to get your statement . kristen : you should be arresting her for assault . i mean , i have witnesses -- eli : kristen , take it easy . i will have a doctor come take a look at you . kristen : take it easy , yeah , cool . you 'll pay for this . brady : i appreciate your concern . i really , really do , but marlena , i 'll tell you what i 've been telling everyone else , and that is i am finished with kristen dimera , promise . marlena : mm , that might be easier said than done . she 's gone through some extraordinary lengths to get you . maybe she wo n't give up so easily . brady : well , it 's a lost cause . you ca n't force somebody to love you , right ? so she can try whatever she wants . i 'm not gon na return those feelings . marlena : well , that 's sort of what i was thinking . um , maybe on a very subconscious level , you do . these are real people , eli : thanks for your cooperation , nicole . your statement was very helpful . eric : and the incident with kristen ? eli : do n't worry about it . i spoke with the doctor , and he reported that there are no injuries . nicole : that 's too bad . eli : well , i 'll be in touch if i have any more questions . eric : thank you . eric : are you okay ? nicole : yeah , i 'm just so glad it 's over and i 'm grateful that you 're with me . and i 'm sorry that i lost it on kristen . eric : i get it . i 've been there myself . nicole , i just want you to know what kristen said about sarah . [ both stammering ] you told me i 'm the love of your life . that i 'm the only one that you want to spend your life with , and i believe you . you know , maggie , um -- maggie really wants to see holly , so i should go pick her up from your mom 's before it gets too late . eric : yeah , right . come on . sonny : hey . will : well ? sonny : kate 's still in surgery , okay ? and i spoke to kayla , and she does n't know how long it 's gon na be until we hear any news . will : oh , my god , what if she does n't make it ? sonny : no , she 's the toughest person i know , okay ? she 's gon na be okay . will : you do n't know that , though . sonny , she was shot , and i want answers . i want to know who did this . sonny : okay , then we 're gon na find out who did this . i promise you that . will : it 's got ta be stefan , right ? he hates kate for shooting vivian , for accusing him of kidnapping , for taking his job . sonny : i do think stefan 's a viable suspect . but i keep wondering if the person who did this was right under our noses before . will : vivian . sarah : i am no wimp , and neither is my mother . and to answer your question , i 'm giving up because eric and nicole are in love , and he and i would have never gotten together in the first place if he knew that she was still alive . vivian : you know , if i were you , madly in love with someone and this old flame showed up . i would use every weapon in my arsenal to hold onto him . [ phone rings ] ah , got ta take it . [ phone beeps ] i 'm in the middle of something , darling . stefan : i do n't care , mother . i need you to come home now . kristen : did you arrest nicole for assault ? eli : the doctor found no evidence of injury . kristen : are you kidding me ? i was assaulted on your watch , commissioner . i could sue you , or at the very least , go to the press . john : you know , i got a feeling if you 're looking for sympathy , you 're not gon na find too much around here . kristen : i will get my freedom . so when will i be released ? eli : that 's up to the da . kristen : so call her , or better yet , call the mayor . he 's in charge . and you tell him if he messes with me , there will be hell to pay . sonny : when vivian came by the house earlier -- will : it was all an act . sonny : yeah . she was n't trying to make amends with us . will : no , she was using us to cover her tracks . sonny : pretending that she was looking for kate , claiming she had no idea where she was . i 'm guessing she had a very good idea . will : i 'll tell you one thing . if vivian is the one that shot kate , she 's not gon na get away with it . vivian : oh , gabriella , how good to see you again . gabi : oh , unfortunately , the feeling is not mutual . vivian : how rude . gabi : what are you gon na do ? are you gon na shoot me , and you gon na bury me in st . luke 's cemetery like you did with kate ? vivian : you told her ? stefan : where the hell have you been , mother ? vivian : i 've been doing damage control with kate 's family , coving my tracks in case they started wondering where she is . stefan : she 's in the hospital having surgery as we speak . vivian : yes , i know . sarah horton told me . stefan : did you know that you 're the number one suspect here ? the police commissioner was just here . he wants to question you , and you better be damn sure if kate survives , he 'll question her too . vivian : yes , well , luckily , she 's in no condition to tell anyone anything . gabi : oh , she has n't named you as the shooter yet , obviously , but when she recovers , that 'll be a different -- vivian : would you excuse us , please ? this is between my son and i . gabi : gladly . stefan : gabi 's right . mother ! vivian : yes ? stefan : if kate survives this thing , she will point the finger directly at you . vivian : well , we 're gon na have to make sure she never gets that chance , hmm ? john : there she is . marlena : there he is . oh , honey . how did it go at the station ? john : maybe you ought to sit back down . i got a lot to tell you . marlena : yeah , well , i have a lot to tell you , too . where should we start ? john : how about i give you the bad news first ? kristen : brady . brady : kristen . kristen : that 's right , love . it 's me . i 'm free . vivian : you know , if i were you , madly in love with someone , and this old flame showed up , i would use every weapon in my arsenal to hold on to him .

mimi : well , you 're just good at everything you try , are n't you , babe ? rex : not exactly . when cassie and i came to salem , i did n't even know how to talk , never really had a friend . shawn , belle -- they took us in . they were good to us . dude , why in the world did you ever think i would want to hurt your parents ? i mean , we lived in their house when we had nowhere else to go . shawn - d : according to your own computer files . rex : that you broke into my house to look at . shawn - d : you and your family had a reason to want revenge against my parents for destroying your natural dynamite or whatever it was . rex : that does n't mean i 'd bludgeon them , for god 's sake ! that 's hardly productive for anyone . shawn - d : do you see how he is ? always logical until he has a total meltdown . you have serious anger management issues . rex : well , i remember when you were putting your fist through glass windows , yelling at everyone who crossed your path . you were practically ready to be committed because you thought you shot a man in the back -- colin murphy , your own cousin . and it 's not like you did n't pull the trigger . you 're just lucky you missed . shawn - d : that scum was trying to kill my father , and he was probably ordered to do it by your father ! rex : you of all people should know what it feels like to be presumed guilty of a crime you did n't commit . mimi : uh , guys , why do n't we just sit down ? belle , please just bring over the salad , please ? shawn - d : you know what ? i 've lost my appetite . i ca n't do this . i 'm sorry . i 'm outta here . rex : you see ? you see what i mean ? he attacks me , he leaves . he does n't want to work this out , and he does n't care how it affects you ! belle : shawn , wait a minute . i think i have an idea , a way we might be able s settle this . shawn - d : i 'm listening . belle : it might -- it might sound crazy , but we 're getting a little desperate , right ? shawn - d : no , i 'm sorry . there is no way to fix this . belle : i have to believe that there is . hope : what do you think caused the fuse to blow ? abe : maybe a power surge . you know , the electric company has crews in this part of town fixing a cut cable . bo : so you 're running the prints you lifted from that fuse box . what , about 80 of them ? that 'll narrow things down a lot . you okay ? hope : hmm ? bo : you okay ? hope : just being here , you know , where we were attacked . i just -- we 're fine , right ? i mean , all of us -- we 're ... well , you know , we were just talking about ghosts foretelling people 's deaths . i just -- i know that we were n't really serious about it , but i got a little jumpy . can we get out of here now ? are we done ? bo : yeah , sure , let 's go . hope : yeah , good . i 'd like to stop by gran 's on the way home . bo : yeah , i want to go by there , too . abe : you know , i 'd like to come with you . mrs. horton is like family to me , just like the two of you . look , um , it would mean a lot to me if you both came back to the force when i go . bo : you mean when you leave ? abe : when i go . belle : i ca n't stand this . can you ? everyone 's so tense all the time . shawn - d : what are you trying to say , that this is my fault ? belle : of course not . but we have to be willing to do something to try and change this . shawn - d : no one 's asking you to get along with cassie . we all deal with the fact that you two hate each other . why should this be any different ? belle : because rex is dating mimi . mimi is my roommate . rex is your roommate . and if we do n't do anything to change this , then i 'm going to move out . is that what you want ? shawn - d : no , of course not . belle : good . shawn - d : so , what 's your idea ? belle : well , maybe we can try and figure out ourselves what happened the night of the fashion show . shawn - d : the police have n't been able to figure it out . what do you expect us to do ? belle : well , you were telling me about that thing they do in law school -- mock trial . shawn - d : a mock trial ... with rex ? i thought you said you wanted to have a peaceful dinner . you just want to calmly pull him aside and tell him that we think he 's a homicidal maniac ? belle : of course not , shawn . but you 're pre - law . this is what you want to do with the rest of your life , and we have rex here . you could question him , grill him , cross - examine him , whatever you want . shawn - d : well , if he 's wiling to do it . of course , he could lie . rex : i think it 's about time we got everything out in the open -- no more secrets , no more lies , all right ? and no more breaking into people 's rooms . shawn - d : and no more trying to kill people 's parents . philip : and no more arguing about any of this , okay ? now , belle , what was your idea ? shawn - d : she has an idea for a mock trial . `` mock `` being the key word . philip : well , you know what ? i do n't hear anything better miming from anyone else . now , who 's going to volunteer to be judge ? mimi : oh , come on , we 're not really going to do this , are we ? philip : we 're going to need somebody impartial , and , belle , i nominate you . cassie : `` impartial `` -- she 's shawn 's girlfriend . philip : well , she 's also rex 's sister . so , what do you say , belle ? it was your idea . will you do it ? jennifer : evil ? aunt maggie , what are you talking about ? maggie : uh ... i was talking about all the terrible things that seem to be happening to our friends and family in salem lately . i mean , the attack on bo and hope -- it was so brutal and senseless . and then sami 's accident and john black 's ... and before that , colin murphy was murdered . i do n't mean to be morbid . it 's just that it 's no wonder we 're all feeling a little unsettled right now . suddenly , our town does n't seem like a very safe place to be . mickey : so , uh , i - i hear that , uh , jack 's back at the `` spectator `` working on a very big story , huh ? jennifer : yeah , he is . maggie : so , what 's wrong , jennifer ? jennifer : you just said -- salem does n't seem like such a safe place to be anymore , and i do n't want my husband to be the next one to nearly die , and i do n't want that for anyone else , either . maggie : so it 's this story that he 's working on that 's got you so worried ? jennifer : oh , at t maggie , i do n't even know what it is . he did n't come home for dinner , he did n't even call me . maggie : so , why do n't you call him ? jennifer : because i ca n't call him if he 's in the middle of something right now . maggie : well , he 's probably lost track of time . so i 'm sure he 'd be thrilled to hear from you . jennifer : i 'm calling him . maggie : okay . mickey : honey ... maggie : hmm ? mickey : you realize that what abe told me was said in confidence . i ... our niece , who also happens to be a reporter , can not find out that the commander of the salem police department thinks he 's having visions and hearing his name spoken by my dead father . maggie : but your whole family is worried about your mother 's mental health when she claims she 's seeing the same thing . so maybe there 's nothing wrong with alice at all . mickey : do n't tell me that you -- now you believe in ghosts . maggie : do you have any other explanation ? harold : yeah , jack 's actually going to be filing the story tonight . jennifer : you mean he got a break ? harold : well , not much to break , really . i could write the ending myself . jennifer : what -- harold , i do n't understand . harold : well , we 're kind of shorthanded , so jack 's filling in to cover some routine local news . jennifer : routine -- jack ? harold : yeah . anyhow , you should be able to reach him on his cell . jennifer : all right , harold , thanks . i 'll talk to you soon . bye . all right . come on , jack . come on , jack , pick up , please . jack : all right . good . all set . okay . ahem . nicole : oh . good . the phone man 's here . is everything fixed ? jack : absolutely . ahem . belle : i do n't know , philip . me , of all people ? mimi : you 're asking her to take sides against her boyfriend or her half- brother . belle : which is what i 'm being asked to do anyway , so ... yeah , i 'll be the judge . but as long as we all agree what we decide is what we decide . cassie : you mean what you decide . you get to be the judge and the jury , right ? philip : cassie . cassie : fine . objection withdrawn . shawn - d : well , i object . this is insane . belle : you know what , shawn ? you 're right , but i do n't know what else to do . shawn - d : i know . belle : now , besides mimi , we were all at the fashion show . we 're all witnesses , anif we ca n't figure out what happened , maybe nobody will , and then what ? rex : i agree . and i believe you 'll be fair . belle : do you believe i 'll be fair ? shawn - d : of course . mimi : okay , everybody , let 's eat . cassie : this party 's a blast . belle : now , there 's no point in rehashing what we remember , because we 've been over it about a hundred times , and i 'm assuming that everyone 's telling the truth . now , mimi , you and cassie know rex better than anyone . do you think he 's capable of hurting someone ? mimi , i know you broke up with rex before because you said you were worried about his temper . you guys are back together now , but are you still worried ? i mean , can you tell me you know he 's innocent ? jack : a right . jack : damn . i rush all the way out here , and now the whole thing does n't even work . victor 's voice : colin ... jack : oh , come on , come on , come on , come on . victor 's voice : murderer ... nicole : i 'm tired of talking , at least to you . nicole : i thought this was working . victor : why would you think that ? icicole : well , when you were upstairs , the phone guy was in here , and he said this was working . victor : what was he doing in the house ? the problem was with the outside line . jack : come on ... come on , keep talking . tonight on `` global national `` : renew ... restore ... rebuild ... it 's been two years since 9/11 . how are they coping ? wilf dinnick and mike armstrong are in new york to find out . on tonight 's `` global national . `` nicole : is that a wiretap ? victor : looks like a dual - function device . accepts phone conversations , but it also picks up ambient room noise . the tradeoff is , it 's only good for about 500 yards . nicole : you mean whoever planted this is right outside listening ? victor : i would n't be surprised . nicole : well , what if they hear , victor ? i ca n't go to jail . victor : i do n't think this was planted by the police . they do n't have a warrant . nicole : you mean ... someone else might know ? victor , you 've got to get rid of them . victor : who am i not supposed to get rid of ? nicole : if you do n't do this for me , you know what the alternative is . i will ruin your life forever . cassie : of course my brother is not capable of hurting anyone . he 's the best . really , he is . mimi : whoa . cassie and i actually agree on something . belle , i know i told you that rex has a temper sometimes , but who does n't ? i mean , he 's never hurt me . never . and i truly believe that he would never hurt anyone else , either . definitely not on purpose , and especially not shawn 's parents . and if you 'll excuse me , i 'm going to go get the pies out of the oven , and you deliberate on whatever you have to do . i 'm sorry . i did n't expect tonight to turn into a trial , literally . rex : it 's okay . i 'm used to it . mimi : are you okay ? rex : of course . mimi : i lied for you . rex : what do you mean you lied for me ? do you belive i 'm guilty ? mimi : no , that 's not what i meant . i just -- i mean , i did n't tell them everything that i know . rex : then it does n't matter , right ? because you know i 'm innocent . mimi : these pies need to cool off . philip : all right , you guys , last chance -- does anybody have anything else that they want to say at all ? belle , do you have any more questions you need to ask ? belle : no . philip : so you 've got your verdict . do you think rex attacked bo and hope ? is he guilty or innocent ? hope : hi . what 's going on ? is there a party going on ? mickey : yeah , we just finished . do you want to start another one ? jennifer : you know , grandma -- she just went to bed . we came over and brought her some dinner earlier . hope : how is she doing ? jennifer : she 's about the same . i thought that jack would be with you , abe . i guess not . abe : i 'm sorry . jennifer : well , did you hear from him at all tonight ? abe : well , not for a while . is everything all right ? jennifer : well , i - i hope so . i mean , i tried calling his cell phone , and it 's turned off . and he 's a reporter . you know , you always wait for your source to call . the only time that he is out of reach is when he 's undercover , abe . abe : are you afraid it could mean he 's in danger you know , i warned jack to back off and let the police do their job . i hope he was paying attention . sorry i missed mrs . horton . would you give her my love ?

[ scene_break ] trent : i need a favor . melanie : yeah , i got your message . what 's your favor ? trent : you remember my old friend claude . melanie : yeah . trent : well , he was always very fond of you . melanie : so ? trent : well , claude is attending the marchands ' party on their yacht . he says that , um , if he has one drink with you , he 'll forgive my debt entirely . melanie : and you believe him ? trent : well , he 's given me no reason not to , unlike you . melanie : yeah , you 're one to talk -- my liar of a father , who never even bothered to mention that i have a brother ! trent : [ sighs ] do n't act innocent with me . i know how you 've been living your life . i 've seen that website of yours . you look like a little slut . and do n't try to deny it . melanie : so you think that gives you the right to pimp me out ? [ scene_break ] trent : nicole , no , hey , wait . nicole : i knew i should n't have come back . what are you still doing here ? trent : i 'm meeting someone . nicole : who ? trent : john black . nicole : since when did you two become friends ? trent : we 're not . nicole : oh , do n't tell me you 're gon na hit him up for money , too . trent : of course not . i was hoping you had reconsidered . nicole : i am not giving you a dime . you need money ? talk to the shrink inside . maybe she 'll pay you to be part of some psychological test . i hear they use rats all the time . trent : i believe they use mice . nicole : whatever . you 're still vermin . [ scene_break ] trent : hello , marlena . marlena : hello , trent . trent : you know , it 's always been my opinion that a beautiful woman should never dine alone . may i join you ? [ scene_break ] anna : i told you to let me do the talking . if we do n't land the rexer account , it 'll be all your fault . tony : well , i apologize for cutting your presentation short , but you were literally putting people to sleep . i mean , all that snoring was becoming unbearable . anna : i 'll have you know i had the rapt attention of mr. rexer . he never once took his eyes off me . tony : oh , the man 's a pervert . he was staring at your behind the entire time . anna : he liked my ideas . tony : yeah , and i 'm sure you gave him plenty of them . anna : [ scoffs ] tony : [ chuckles ] not that i blame him . anna : my presentation killed , and you know it . tony : [ chuckles ] anna : oh . tony : yes , mm . anna : oh , tony . you should n't have . tony : well , i wish i could take credit for this , but i ca n't . anna : well , then , who arranged all of this ? oh , do you think john is entertaining ? tony : i do n't know , but someone 's clearly trying to impress tonight . it 's the best bottle that we have in the cellar . anna : must be a really special occasion . [ scene_break ] stefano : it is . and you two are certainly not a part of it . tony : i knew it would n't be long before you decide to slither back out from the east wing . stefano : how charming . need i remind you that this is my home ? oh , and , by the way , uh , my , uh -- how do you say -- date will be arriving very soon , and i would like a little privacy . tony : you have a date ? but you must mean a business date . stefano : no . i 'm entertaining a lady tonight . anna : [ chuckling ] well , if she 's willing to associate with you , she ca n't be much of a lady . tony : well , who is she ? i mean , what woman would be nervy or foolish enough to -- to date you ? [ scene_break ] kate : hello . front door was open , so i came in . i hope i 'm not too early . abe : once again , stefano has managed to manipulate his way out of paying for his crimes . i spent almost my entire career trying to put this monster behind bars , and nothing -- nothing sticks . hope : we 'll get him ... eventually . abe : well , when ? i mean , over and over and over again , we try to bring this monster to justice , and he slips through our fingers every single time . when i think of him living this cozy , carefree life , with all the pain that he 's caused everybody else -- it 's just not right . it makes me ... sick . bo : abe , um , i understand your frustration , believe me , but ... is there something else bothering you ? abe : [ chuckles ] look , i 'm sorry . i 'm just feeling a little bit out of control these days , both at work and at home . hope : because of theo ? abe : feeling pretty useless these days , especially when it comes to my son . not being able to help him ... it takes a toll on me . [ scene_break ] marlena : i 'm sorry , trent . i was n't looking for company . trent : oh , that 's too bad . i felt like we had such a good conversation earlier about you moving on with your life . how 's that going ? marlena : i 've decided on divorce . trent : really ? well , good for you . although i doubt that john took the news very well . marlena : no , he did n't . trent : aside from losing a remarkable woman , he probably was n't too happy about shelling out money for a divorce settlement . marlena : i do n't care about john 's money . trent : well , no , of course not . i 'm sure you make quite a good living on your own , hmm ? marlena : all i want from john is my freedom , a chance to have a whole new life . [ scene_break ] stefano : kate . i 'm so glad you could make it . kate : well , of course . you have made quite a miraculous recovery . stefano : well , you know me .

[ coughs ] sorry . anna : oh , you still have that cold ? kate : no , i do n't think that 's it . i think it 's just a change in the weather . [ cough ] actually , i 'm taking antibiotics now . stefano : i 'll be damned if -- i can not believe what i am hearing . you expect me to talk to you about my social calendar ? what is wrong with you ? anna : tony , come on . you 're not gon na get anything out of him . let 's just go . tony : but -- anna : you know i 'm right . you have a lovely evening , kate . stefano : [ chuckles ] anna : what are you doing ? tony : i ca n't leave kate alone with stefano . we got to find a way to protect her . stefano : i am so pleased that you could accept my invitation , kate . it 's good to look at a friendly face , especially one as beautiful as yours . kate : thank you . so , you must be happy to be back in your home again . stefano : ah , yes , well , finally , it 's starting to feel as if i never left . kate : and i heard that you 're no longer facing criminal charges . stefano : yes , the whole thing with john was merely a misunderstanding . kate : yes , i 'm sure . stefano : and now i am free to do as i choose , make a life here in salem again . i 'd like to make a toast . hmm ? to new beginnings . to us . [ scene_break ] tony : what kind of game is he playing ? anna : [ yawns ] do we really have to stand out here listening to kate talk about herself all night ? tony : i told you we 've got to look out for her well - being . anna : tony , i 'm sure she 's not in any real danger . stefano probably just wants a dinner companion and had the bad taste to choose kate . tony : you know , if you could put your petty feelings aside just for a moment , you 'd remember that stefano always has an ulterior motive . we have to find out what that is and how it involves kate . anna : i think you 're being overprotective . tony : not when it comes to stefano . anna : or do you mean kate ? tony : what , are you jealous again ? anna : who 's wearing the big flashy ring ? tony : that 's right . do n't you forget . but kate 's our friend . she needs our help . i mean , would you like to spend an entire evening alone with stefano ? anna : no , of course not . tony : well , then , we have to find a way to thwart his plan . anna : [ gasps ] i have an idea . tony : you do ? anna : yes . come with me .

[ opera music playing ] brady : the girl 's a fighter . you are a fighter . and you got ta fight now , honey . for parker , for your friends , for everybody that cares about you . fight . nicole : bit of advice ... ej : please . nicole : when dining alone you should choose to sit at the bar . that way you do n't look like such a loser . ej : bit of advice . nicole : hm . ej : next time you try and make such a cutting barb ... pay a little bit more attention , my dear . two glasses . nicole : hm . so you were stood up . ej : no . nicole : expecting someone then ? ej : yes . ahem ... matter of fact , she just arrived . rafe : you got a job ? sami : well , not yet , but i 'm going to . i just have to start pounding the pavement . rafe : well , honey that 's great . it is , i 'm -- if you 're sure that 's what you wan na do . sami : i totally do . but you notice that i am telling you this in advance . i 'm not gon na sneak attack you with a job at the police station this time . though still , for the record , i think it would have been nice for us to work together . rafe : well , for the record , so do i . it 's just , you know , i think it would be good for us -- not for the good people of salem . sami : what is that supposed to mean ? rafe : what it means i 'd have a hell of a time trying to concentrate , you know ? sami : ha ! rafe : there would n't be a lot of crimes getting solved , you know ? sami : oh , really , really ? is that the problem ? bo and hope have that trouble all the time , they keep so focused on each other that they ca n't concentrate ? rafe : okay , for the record , everyone knows that bo and hope do a great job of working together -- i have the utmost respect for bo . but when i 'm around you ... i ca n't seem to keep my hands off you . hmm ? will : wow . gabi : yeah , i 'm rusty . will : why do i get the feeling that i 'm being hustled ? gabi : because you are . [ laughs ] will : yeah , you 're good . gabi : yeah , i 've had great teachers . oh ! oh , yes ! dario taught me that move . melanie : ah , okay . gabi : [ laughs ] speaking of -- hey , what 's up ? i thought you guys were having a girls ' night ? melanie : well , eh , it was n't supposed to be girls ' night . gabi : where 's my brother ? melanie : yeah , guess . gabi : work . melanie : yes . gabi : ha ! melanie : bob , tell her what she 's won . gabi : [ sighs ] well , i 'm sorry -- i know that you 're not thrilled about dario working for brady . but , um , you know , he seems to like what he 's doing . melanie : yeah , i know . gabi : he 's had so many dead end jobs that have been miserable . he 's happier there than i 've ever seen him . abigail : yeah , i mean , i think that brady 's leaning on him a lot more now with everything that 's going on . gabi : what do you mean ? abigail : well , daniel said that brady has n't left chloe 's side since she was brought into the hospital . kinsey : brady , can i talk to you for a second ? brady : yeah , what 's up ? kinsey : um , the cops . i mean , i 'm so grateful for the way that you stepped in and answered all those questions for me . brady : but you wan na know what to do if they follow up with you , right ? kinsey : yeah . i know that the most important thing is chloe getting better and obviously the police getting that maniac off the streets -- brady : yeah , but if they find out what she was doing , as in working the streets , then -- kinsey : then she 'll never see parker again . brady : well , so far they have n't made the connection and i think that 's the way it should stay . kinsey : totally . brady : you know , uh , she had her first video chat with parker a little while back . i remember her telling me . he said `` mama `` for the first time . and now he 's probably wondering why he has n't heard from his mom in a while . kinsey : what if she does n't come out of it , brady ? brady : kinsey , do n't . do n't think that , okay ? she 's gon na come out of it . and i do n't have a doubt in my mind about it . ej : nicole ... please . sit . nicole : with you . ej : that was the general idea . nicole : well , it would be a waste not to have a glass of champagne since the bottle is already opened . ej : quite . nicole : i do n't get it . how did you know i would be here ? ej : you of all people should know better than to ask me that question . nicole : oh , okay . so you want something from me . mm - hm , and you actually cared enough to ask me nicely which is a change . but you know , ej , i would just prefer for you to cut to the chase , okay ? so tell me . what the hell is it that you want ? sami : mm , you 're really okay with this ? right ? you 're okay with me getting a job ? rafe : yeah , yes . hey , listen , if that 's what you wan na do , do it . sami : it is . rafe : 'cause i know you 've been feeling a little restless lately , especially with the kids off at school and , um , money has been a little tight . sami : but what ? rafe : what ? no , listen -- okay , do n't get me wrong . you would be great at anything and everything that you wan na do . it 's just right now is a hard time with the economy the way it is and especially if you have n't worked in a while . sami : have you ever known me to want something and not end up getting it ? rafe : well , that 's a good point . sami : i get it , okay ? i understand it 's gon na be difficult , i do . and i have to cast a wide net , i 'm gon na have to get rejected a million times . but i 'm gon na pick myself up , dust myself off and try again . rafe : i have no doubt . sami : good , because that 's a new rule . after everything we 've been through , this whole place ... doubt - free zone . rafe : noted . heh ... doubt - free . sami : completely , 100 % . rafe : yeah , so what kind of job are you looking for ? sami : airline pilot . it was either that or apply to be a backup dancer for britney . i was thinking about nfl quarterback , but you know , shoulder pads , not in . rafe : yeah . sami : um , no seriously , i do n't know -- i do n't know . obviously i 'll take any job , but i just want something that i 'm good at , something that uses my talents . rafe : oh , yeah . sami : whatever they are . rafe : yeah , sure , so long as it 's not your talent for breaking and entering . sami : how dare you ? rafe : well , 'cause you do know it is illegal to break into a doctor 's office , especially when you 're looking at their private files . sami : what are you gon na just never let me live it down ? rafe : what ? are you talking about breaking into lexie 's office ? sami : shut up . rafe : all right , all right , i 'm sorry . but for the record , it 's not the worst thing that you 've ever done but you probably do wan na leave it off the resume . sami : oh , that is some very sound , professional advice . i appreciate that . rafe : that is the professional advice from your cop husband . sami : [ laughs ] rafe : okay ? and it 's the right advice . gabi : oh ! and the crowd goes wild . yeah , you can pick your jaw up off the floor now . will : so now i know i 'm dating not just a ps3 shark but a pool shark as well . gabi : yeah , there 's a lot of things you do n't know about me . oh , and you know what else ? i won the bet , so that means i get to plan our date . will : that was the deal . gabi : here 's an idea , how about we , um , find a camping spot by the lake ... a secluded kind . maybe we can spend the night together . will : heh , that 's , uh -- that 's what you want ? gabi : well , what i want is just to be with you again . dario : gabi ! you are not gon na believe it . i have some incredible news . [ opera music playing ] brady : there was a time when chloe meant everything to me . in a lot of ways she still does . kinsey : you still love her . brady : a love like we had does n't really go away . it stays with you . i mean , our marriage did n't work out but that does n't mean i ... [ sighs ] i never stopped caring about her . that does n't mean i never ... i always wanted her to be happy , you know ? kinsey : i 'm sure she feels the same . brady : that 's what kills me about this whole thing . she did n't come to me . she did n't come to me and tell me what was going on . she turned to selling herself and her body to -- for what ? if she would have come to me none of this would have happened . nicole : tell me , damn it . what the hell is it you want from me ? ej : nicole , is a husband not just allowed to enjoy a glass of champagne with his wife ? nicole : oh , my god , you must think i am stupid . ej : i do n't think you 're stupid ... i think you 're my wife . nicole : on paper . oh , my god , ej , you slept with my sister . you asked me for a divorce and now you 're playing mind games with me ? calling me your wife ? what you did with taylor it makes me sick to talk about . ej : i 'm sorry . truly . nicole : well , you know what ? instead of being sorry , ej , maybe you could help me with my nausea . you explain to me what that was , with you and my sainted sister . ej : truthfully ? nicole : well , if you can manage it , yeah . ej : what did your sister and i see in each other ? [ sighs ] what did we see in each other ? i have no earthly idea . [ laughs ] nicole : [ laughs ] i can do a little cash ... sami : cheers . rafe : cheers . sami : to us . i love those kids more than anything but this ... is heaven . rafe : it is so good to see you smiling again . you know that ? sami : well , i 'm happy . and i 'm excited , this whole job thing is gon na be awesome . rafe : yes . sami : i have so much more life experience than i did last time when i ended up at that dead - end job at the hospital . rafe : mm . sami : for one thing i am married to the greatest husband in the whole world . rafe : i 'll drink to that . [ laughter ] see ? you should put that on your resume . sami : oh , yeah . rafe : yeah . sami : well , but seriously , with all the kids i 've totally learned to multi- task . i mean , i can scramble an egg and answer the phone and break up a fist fight all with one hand . rafe : that would take me at least ten . sami : [ laughs ] i also have been scheduling all the fundraisers for the kids ' schools . i fill out all those forms , i do everything online with the bills , and -- i mean , i juggle everyone 's schedule . rafe : i know , i know . and i tell you all the time , it is totally miraculous and we would n't know what to do without you , we would n't know if you if you were coming or going . thank god you 're not going anywhere . sami : hm , i 'm not . rafe : no . sami : i 'm not -- but , you know , i have a lot of confidence that people are gon na wan na hire me , that i have a lot to offer . rafe : you do . sami : i hope . rafe : yes , listen -- i may be a little biased , but if i was hiring i would hire you right this second . sami : you really think so ?

[ telephone rings ] will : uh , no . sonny : okay . will : get it , yeah . sonny : it might be the supplier i 've been waiting for all day to call me . will : yeah . sonny : so just one second . hello , this is sonny . uh , yeah , hey , brian . what 's up ? [ knock on door ] sami : oh . hi . ej : hi . were you expecting somebody else ? chad : what in the hell do you think you 're doing , huh ? gabi : what ? what was i supposed to do , chad ? okay , what -- what did you want me to say , all right ? what excuse could i give melanie for not being her bridesmaid ? what ? tell me . i tried to duck it , okay ? i could n't . chad : well , not hard enough . how -- how can you stand up with me and melanie after what you did to her , huh ? gabi : not that you care or anything , but i am very happy for the two of you . chad : oh , you know what ? if it was up to you , melanie would have been dead . gabi : okay , no , no , no , no , no . i never wanted melanie to get hurt . chad : she nearly died because of you . now , there is no way you will be a part of our wedding . this ca n't happen . gabi : what does that mean ? chad : it 's over . melanie : [ giggles ] abigail : oh , my gosh . melanie : i know . look how shiny . abigail : i know . melanie : it 's so shiny . abigail : in every way . nick , you work here ? nick : uh , yeah . i just , uh -- i just started today . but i work in the kitchen , so i wo n't be out front much .

[ clears throat ] will : yeah , so i 've heard . you know , the funny thing is that you do n't have a love life for the same reason that i do n't have a love life . sonny : yeah ? will : yeah . so i think we have more in common together than we thought . [ folder slams ] rafe : [ sighs ] oh , yeah . no problem here . i know exactly what i 'm doing . ej : uh , is everything all right ? sami : yeah . sure . ej : okay . just -- you seem a little bit , um , all over the place . sami : well , you know me . i mean , that 's just -- i 'm always running around crazy . ej : yeah , i do know you . you look stunning . sami : thank you . ej : so ... are you ready ? | rafe told sami that she was a fool who was n't right for her . she wanted to know who the right man was if ej was n't the right one . adrienne and sonny talked about who he was interested in . when he told her that he was interested in will , she was not too happy . he wanted to know what she had against will . will asked t if sonny said he was interested in him and t said he was . at the pub , nick introduced himself to gabi , but she was n't too happy to talk to him . he thought he had to get used to that . sami questioned rafe about who the right guy was for her , but he dodged the question by telling her that ej is a dangerous man . she told rafe that he could n't tell her how to run her life and not tell her what was going on . he suggested that she should n't be with anyone . gabi apologized for the way she treated nick . they talked about melanie and how he ended up working at the pub . gabi was willing to give him a second chance . sami closed the door in rafe 's face , but he barged in . he continued to talk to sami about being alone . she did n't really want to listen to what rafe had to say . rafe also used the kids to get his point across with sami , but that did n't work . she was convinced that being with ej was the right thing . adrienne thought that will had a lot of baggage because of his parents . adrienne mentioned how will helped ej and sami while they were on the run . sonny reminded adrienne that the charges did n't stick since stefano was n't dead . adrienne wanted sonny to fall for someone that will make his life easier and not harder . will wanted t to tell him everything that sonny said . t told will how brian hit on sonny , but sonny rejected him because of will . adrienne thought that brian would be a better match for sonny . he wanted adrienne to stay out of his love life . |
theresa : well , not that it 's any of your business , but i came here to talk to brady about you , and he is n't going to like the things that you said to me . kristen : he 'll get over it . theresa : he 's not going to get over you barging into his house , and neither will victor . kristen : i think they both will . i 'm here to deliver some amazing news . theresa : oh , really , amazing news -- from you , really ? kristen : yeah , actually . from me . i found a drug treatment for john . he 's gon na come out of a coma , he 's gon na make a complete recovery . [ glass shatters ] he 's clean . ej : make sure we 're not disturbed . you 've been pursuing me rather aggressively , mr. weston . clyde : that 's the way i do business . ej : and why should i do business with you ? why should i trust you ? in fact , can you give me one good reason why i should let you live ? clyde : mr. dimera , i do n't cotton to threats . i never have . ej : then let me be clear , mr. weston . let me rephrase . if you 're playing some sort of game with me , consequences will be lethal . nicole : want to tell me what 's goin ' on ? at the hospital ? with john black ? [ monitor beeping steadily ] brady : come on . come on , dad . this has to work . marlena : what was that ? brady : what was it ? what 's happening ? is he waking up ? kristen : i just gave you some really good news , and you 're a wreck . what 's wrong with you ? answer me . daniel : i tried to explain on the way over , this wo n't happen quickly . the drug has to act on the central nervous system for a period of time before there 's any real change -- 24 hours at least . marlena : we just saw a change . brady : it jumped . daniel : yeah , it 's a short - term reaction to something new being introduced into the bloodstream . brady : all right , but still -- i mean , that was a reaction . i mean , this could happen . i mean , he could wake up tomorrow , right ? daniel : [ sighs ] i 'll tell you what , why do n't we grab a cup of coffee , and i 'll go over some things in more detail . marlena : go on . i 'll stay with john . daniel : come on . you and me , buddy . marlena : i let you go once . i wo n't do that again . eric : nicole , assuming i even know what you 're talking about -- nicole : oh , you know exactly what i 'm talking about . my source at the hospital said that john was supposed to be transferred to a long - term facility today , and that got put on hold . eric : yeah , well , i 'm sure there 's an explanation for that . nicole : well , then let me finish . not long ago , kayla and daniel put a lockdown on john 's floor . extremely top secret , only trusted staff allowed . because something was going on in john 's room . now , unless your stepfather 's condition went downhill , something else is going on . what ? eric : listen , nicole , i thought i made it clear a long time ago that i 'm not sharing anything with you anymore -- ever . now , if you 'll please excuse me . nicole : fine . i came to you first , okay ? [ cell phone ringing ] nicole : so this is the way you want to play it , i 'll get my story from some other source , and i will tweet it to the universe by midnight . ciao . eric : nicole , wait ! daniel : brady , you need to take a breath . i told you in the car on the way over , the drug was slow - acting . we 're not gon na know anything for sure until tomorrow . brady : look , i understand that , but if this thing works -- this is a lot to process for me , okay ? not only my dad coming out of a coma , but the very reason he 's getting a chance here is because of kristen . kristen made it happen . daniel : okay , brady , bra -- brady : i mean , i 've been screamin ' and yellin ' my head off that this woman is back in town . but the reality of it , the truth of it , is that kristen coming back to salem may have been the best possible thing that could 've happened . kristen : hello . i just gave you some fantastic news about john having a recovery , and you 're freaking out . you act like you 've seen a ghost . what is going on with you ? when john wakes up -- theresa : no ! no , no , no ! john ca n't wake up . no , he 's not gon na wake up . that ca n't -- that 's never gon na happen ! kristen : it 's gon na happen . just chill . i mean , the drug i gave kayla and daniel is gon na take a while , but it will work . theresa : no , just shut -- shut up ! kristen : what the hell is going on with you ? why are you so upset ? wish you could give hair moisture anne : oh , hey , maggie . maggie : ms. milbauer . anne : hey , hey , no , no , no . come on , call me anne . everybody calls me anne , and we 've known each other a long time . maggie : it 's nice to see you , anne . anne : yeah -- wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . maggie , what 's that charming son of yours up to , huh ? maggie : sorry ? anne : well , something 's going down at the hospital . dr. dan 's in the lead , as usual , right ? so -- friend of mine 's got kind of a special interest . maggie : i 'm not following you . anne : oh , you do n't know ? oh , come on , he must 've clued you in . he and kayla brady are very hush - hush about it . very intense , something about john black . no ? [ chuckles ] i ca n't even find out what 's happening . i mean , can you imagine ? and i 'm like the hospital 's queen bee . [ both laugh ] maggie : are you ? anne : yeah . maggie : mm . well , look , i assume that if i 'm supposed to know about it , someone would 've told me . so i guess it 's none of my business . or yours , anne . bye , now . anne : damn it , somebody 's got to know something . [ sighs ] clyde : mr. dimera , i 've done my homework on your family . so i know that when you make a promise -- ej : threat . clyde : that you are a man of your word , yes , sir . now , i would n't have asked to meet up with you if i did n't think this would be good for the both of us . and as i said , i got good reason to stay on here in salem now , since -- ej : yes , yes , yes , i know your reason for staying here . your children are here -- ben and jordan . both of whom despise me . so why would you want to work for me ? [ knocking on door ] roman : hey . got your text . something going on with john ? marlena : you know what , i can fill you in later , but right now i 'm going to stay with john , so i would like it if you would find eric . roman : okay . marlena : our son did something so incredibly selfless for me , for brady , for john . he sacrificed -- you know what , the important thing is that i think eric deserves to be with his dad right now . he 's at the pub . can you spare some time ? roman : absolutely . okay , i 'll go talk to him . marlena : okay . roman : okay . eric : please sit down . as i recall , you promised that you would n't broadcast anything about me or my family . you still agree to that ? nicole : of course . so are you saying that -- eric : yes . something is going down at the hospital , and yes , it does involve john . my mother just texted me and confirmed that it 's underway . nicole : eric , i 'm sorry . i 've always liked john . he was fair to me -- good to me , actually . eric : nicole , you do n't understand . it 's good news . nicole : really ? what ? eric : you do n't need to know , and even if you did , i 'm sure you could find out on your own . nicole : but you already know -- seriously , there 's good news , and you do n't want to tell me what it is . eric : nicole , for all i know , what 's going on right now , it might not change anything . it 's premature to even talk about it . nicole : oh , bull . this has nothing to do with premature , you just do n't want to tell me . eric : and i wo n't . daniel : i need you to keep an eye on john 's vitals . and when the time comes for a shift change -- maxine : deb margolis is on at 6 : 00 . i 'll pass it on . everything 's on the down- low with mr. black . and we 'll text you an update every hour on the hour . daniel : excellent , thank you . thank you . all right , let 's -- let 's go . brady : what are you talking about ? i do n't want to leave my dad . daniel : marlena 's with him . she 'll text you if anything changes . maxine is on top of it . brady : daniel , i think i should stay . i want to stay . daniel : no , i think you need to come with me . i want to make sure you understand . brady : understand what ? daniel : what kristen 's motives are and why she 's doing all of this for you . theresa : do n't think i do n't know what 's going on . you followed me , that 's what you 're doing here . kristen : what ? theresa : that 's where you came up with that stupid lie . i mean , seriously , kristen , do you think anyone is gon na believe you , that you came up with some miracle drug to wake up the dead ? what a crock . you know , brady would n't even believe you if you told him his name was brady . kristen : just dial it down a little bit . you might lose your voice . theresa : oh , wow . kristen : not that that would be a bad thing . theresa : you know , brady is in pain because of what happened to his father , and you came here to prey on that . kristen : okay , you 're not making any sense at all . are you aware of that ? theresa : oh , yes , i am , and you know it . kristen : no , you 're not . no , really -- why would i come here to -- why would i do something like that ? i 'm not here to prey on anybody , especially brady . theresa : 'cause you 're desperate . kristen : [ laughing ] what am i desperate about ? theresa : because ... you ... you found out . you found out , and you ca n't stand it . so you came over here to do what you do best , screw up brady 's life . kristen : what is it that i found out ? theresa : oh , you know damn well . brady came over to your hotel room , and you got him all freaked out , so he came to me for comfort . needing me , wanting me , and we made love . nicole : wow . you are starting to sound just like marlena . `` nicole 's worthless , nicole 's evil , nicole 's a lying sack of -- `` eric : nicole , this is not about you . and none of this is your business . nicole : i am a reporter , and something has happened to a man that 's been kind to me , the father of one of my very few friends . oh , of course , no , though , it 's none of my business . eric : well , if you think it is , i 'm still not gon na be the one to give you any information . nicole , please excuse me . i have work to do . roman : hey . well , your mom tells me you did something incredibly selfless . you want to tell me what that might be ? marlena : mm . i do n't see a change . maxine : dr. dan said things will be slow at first . i 'm just keeping a record . marlena : well , there 's no real guarantee this is going to work . maxine : no guarantee , no , but the doctor seemed positive . as far as i 'm concerned , this new drug is about the only positive thing at work here . medicine 's one thing , love and faith is something else . can i get you anything , dr. evans ? marlena : no , thanks . i 've got everything i need right here . daniel : the hospital was not the place to talk about this . brady : well , dan , i mean , what 's left to say here ? i mean kristen got a hold of an experimental drug . it might work , it might not work . daniel : okay , hear me out , okay , because this has been going on for a while , and you 've been left out of the loop until the last minute . brady : why is that , so i would n't get my hopes up ? daniel : well , yeah , but there 's more . brady : having to do with kristen , you mean . daniel : that 's right . look , when she first started in on me , most of sounded just like hot air . for example , one of the things she said is that she was grateful that i forced her to come back to salem . brady : in handcuffs . daniel : yeah , she said she would never do it on her own . brady : right . daniel : and now i 've given her this chance to reconnect with you . in fact , it already started . your dad is her opening . brady : [ sighs ] daniel : you follow me ? brady : yeah , yeah , i do . kristen can give me the one shot that nobody else can -- the possibility of bringing my dad back , saving his life and mine too , if you really think about it . daniel : yeah , and hers . brady : sorry , what do -- what do you mean ? daniel : okay , here 's the thing . marlena can confirm this . saving john is n't just about john or you . the deal was , for john to get this drug , eric had to agree not to testify against kristen . brady : what the -- then there would be no case . daniel : exactly . brady : every -- you know , everyone was telling me . daniel , everybody was telling me -- daniel : and if this goes the way kristen wants it to go , she walks . she walks scot - free and free to come after you . kristen : you pathetic , lying little piece of trash . there 's no way brady made love with you . theresa : [ chuckles ] kristen : your marriage is over . he wants nothing to do with you . theresa : seriously ? kristen : he 's done , yeah . theresa : you think i have to lie about the way we made love when he came home ? you know , brady was so intense . kristen : shut your mouth , theresa . theresa : i thought he was gon na die , and we loved every second of it . kristen : shut your mouth , theresa . theresa : then you found out , so you came over to his place to tell him some story about how you 're going to wake up his father from a coma . kristen : you know what , i do n't have to lie about that . theresa : oh , sure you do , because you were scared stiff that brady and i are gon na get back together . it 's 'cause you got all worked up at your place , and then he came home to the one he likes best . and i got to tell you , those sheets were so hot we could 've set fire -- kristen : you bitch ! how you doing in there , baby girl ? kristen : you filthy little -- brady 's not gon na have to put up with you anymore , 'cause i 'm gon na kill you . theresa : he 's mine . he 's mine !

[ stammering ] there ca n't actually be a drug , okay ? brady told me , like , 100 times that john 's never gon na wake up . it ca n't happen , so ... maggie . come on , you do n't -- you do n't believe that she 's telling the truth , do you ? no . she ca n't be telling the truth . it ca n't be . mom : good luck , sweetie ! i love you ! girl : i love you too . clyde : well , mr. dimera , you can hardly blame my son if he 's not all that happy with the fact that you had an affair with his new girlfriend . now , i 'm not speaking out of line on this . i read it in the magazine . and he 's got a big sister who 's very protective of him . always has been . so i would n't be surprised if jordan had n't been all that nice to you . ej : what 's your point ? clyde : the point is , i 'm not one to mix business with family . that never works out . would you agree ? anyway , it 's clear you had your boys check me out . you know what i did down in poplar bluff . you know that i never had any run - in with law enforcement . ej : yeah , for whatever that 's worth . clyde : you know that i can provide you with quality product at a lower price than you 've been paying . ej : and why would you do me this favor , mr. weston ? clyde : well , i 'm in business to make money , just like you . but when i heard i might be stepping on your toes ... [ laughs ] my mama did n't raise no fool . ej : i think i 'll be the judge of that . marlena : right . if i tell you what 's going on , do you swear will you not print a word of it until i give you the go - ahead ? nicole : sounds fair . okay . marlena : okay . okay . john has been given an experimental drug that may reverse his coma . nicole : that 's terrific . brady must be ecstatic . marlena : yeah , he -- he is . he is . nicole : what ? why are n't you floating on air right now ? wait a minute . come to think of it , eric was pretty cool about this too . so reserved . all right , what 's going on ? marlena : look , of course i 'm thrilled that john may return to us . as is brady , of course . nicole : but ? marlena : but the drug that john has been given was provided by kristen . eric : is there anything ? brady : no . no , we would 've heard . daniel said there wo n't be anything till tomorrow , but ... i needed to see you . what you did for my dad -- eric , i -- what you sacrificed . i am so grateful to you . thank you . maggie : theresa , i have no idea what 's true and what 's not . theresa : but there 's no way that john could be cured . it 's impossible , right ? maggie : brady is n't here . i 'll tell him you called . good night . theresa : thank you . [ cell phone ringing ] theresa : what ? anne , i do n't have time for you . oh , my god . i think i 'm gon na be sick . oh , my god . [ phone rings ] daniel : hey , mom , what 's up ? maggie : [ chuckles ] hi . i was just about to ask you the same thing . is there a new drug being tried on john black ? something that would bring him out of a coma ? daniel : i ca n't talk about a patient . you know that . maggie : so i 'll draw my own conclusion about what i 've heard . daniel : you can do that . maggie : okay . so what i 've heard is that kristen is behind it . and just so you know that i 'm gon na do whatever i have to to help brady through this . daniel : he 'll appreciate that , and i 'll do that same . maggie : good . okay , then . i guess i 'll say good night . by the way , i love you , and i 'm very proud of you . daniel : thank you , and right back at you . and nobody should be counting their chickens , okay ? maggie : understood . good night . daniel : all right , night .

anne : something very big is going down at the hospital . theresa : god . anne : yep . dr. dan , the miracle man , he gave john black some experimental drug . theresa : oh , no . no , no , no , no . anne : oh , yes , yes , yes , yes . and the scuttlebutt is that this drug is gon na wake the old boy up any day now . theresa : that ca n't happen . anne : well , it 's medicine , toots . there 's not much we can do about it , right ? theresa : okay , no , no . i 've got to do something . i 've got to think of something . anne : okay . okay , well , while you get your thinking cap on , here 's my idea , all right ? here 's what i think you should say to brady . theresa : no , yes . that 'll work . that 'll work . okay . anne : always nice talking to you . this is damn good . nicole : unbelievable . so to save john , eric had to give up any chance he had to make kristen pay for what she did . marlena : yeah . and if the drug works -- and the doctors think that it might -- kristen goes free . the d.a . has to drop the case . nicole : no . free to go after brady again . does he know ? marlena : he does . daniel told him . nicole : damn . and poor eric . marlena : well , eric thought it through . he did what he thought he had to do . nicole : yeah . because he 's so good to the bone , the soul . he 's so amazing . which you already know . oh . ugh , that bitch . that disgusting -- you know what , kristen is not human , and i bet the devil is ashamed for making her . she should be put down . marlena : nobody would miss her . nicole : hey . you know what , we teamed up once before to stop her . why do n't we do it again ? why do n't we -- marlena : no , no , no . no , no . let me be clear . i think she has to be stopped , but you and i will never work together . nicole : [ sighs ] right , because of what i did to eric . marlena : because of what you did to eric . i want nothing to do with you , and neither does he . brady : it 's hard to believe there 's so much hope right now . it 's all because of you . eric : do n't forget about daniel and kayla . brady : i 'm -- my dad could beat this thing . eric : but it could be a while . brady : [ sighs ] it 's also hard to believe that kristen 's gon na walk . i -- i ca n't -- it 's like she 's gon na hurt you all over again . she 's getting that chance . eric : listen , do me a favor . brady : name it . eric : i want to you stay away from her . brady : no , i will . i will . i 'm not getting involved with that psychopath again . eric : good . good . brady : right now , i 'm gon na go home , and i 'm gon na get a photo album . i want to take that to my dad , 'cause when he wakes up , i want him to see family faces , friends ... eric : yeah . yeah , yeah , yeah . brady : anything that 'll jog his memory , hopefully . eric : right , well , i 'm gon na go over to the hospital , check and see how mom 's doing , so i 'll see you there . brady : okay . hey , eric . eric . i meant what i said , all right ? you can count on it . i hate kristen more than i ever have , and it 's because of what she did to you . daniel : kristen , you 'll notice that i have n't closed the door . oh , because i want you gone . kristen : did you do it ? daniel : you know , i do n't want to get physical with you again , but i will , 'cause you do n't really have an invite to be in my -- kristen : did you give him the drug ? look , i deserve to know . daniel : no , you do n't deserve to know anything . good night . kristen : did you do it ? daniel : of course i did . we both knew that i would . i did . so stop trying to wake up my neighbors and get out of my -- kristen : does brady know ? daniel : yeah , he knows . he knows exactly what you did . in fact , i made sure he understood . you forced eric to drop the charges . you got to walk free . john , he gets to wake up . it is one sweet , sweet deal . i 'm sure brady 's sitting back going , `` i have a true angel in my life . this beautiful '' -- kristen : you know what ? that was always slightly problematic . it 's not that devastating . daniel : mm , yeah , whatever you say . but now i realize , for some reason , you like to just hang out with me , but i 'm not really feeling it today . kristen : daniel , i want to talk to you about this little run - in i had with a disgusting little bitch . daniel : who 's your latest target ? kristen : theresa . do you know what she tried to tell me ? she tried to tell me that she and brady are sleeping together . can you believe that ? daniel : [ sighs ] kristen : oh , my god . are you telling me it 's true ?

[ glass shatters ] kristen : she was n't even hopeful for brady . she was petrified . i mean , she was , like , running around like an idiot . she was completely panicked . theresa : john ca n't wake up . no , he 's not gon na wake up . that ca n't -- that 's never gon na happen . kristen : it 's gon na happen . just chill . i mean , the drug i gave kayla and daniel is gon na take awhile , but it will work . theresa : no , just shut -- shut up ! kristen : i mean , it was like she did n't even want john to recover . it did n't make any sense to me . [ whispering ] oh , my god . it was n't brady . daniel : excuse me ? kristen : she was terrified . she was afraid for her life . daniel : hold on , what the hell are you talking about ? kristen : brady did n't do it . daniel : do what ? kristen : he did n't hit john over the head . it was theresa . theresa 's the one that put john in the coma . | kirsten told theresa that she gave daniel and kayla the drug to save john . theresa got nervous about it . kristen demanded to know why theresa was acting upset about her news . brady believed that kristen coming back to salem was the best thing that could have happened . daniel could n't believe what he heard . nicole wanted eric to give her a scoop on what happened to john . eric was upset and refused to help her . daniel wanted to explain to brady why kristen helped john . theresa rubbed it in to kristen that she and brady made love . daniel explained that kristen used john to get to brady . daniel also told brady that eric had to agree not to testify against her in order to get the drug . kristen did n't believe that brady made love with her . theresa gave kristen more details until kristen choked her . |

[ silenced gunshot ] sami : i was n't even really thinking about it . i just did it . and i 'm just staring there , and he 's ... and then i 'm just staring at his head and the blood , and all i could think about was getting out of there . and i ended up at the pier , and i threw the gun away in the river , and ... [ water splashes ] and even knowing what a horrible thing i had done ... i knew i had protected my kids . i had stopped him from hurting them . and i went back to rafe 's and , uh ... and he was still asleep and i thought , oh , my god , maybe i 'm gon na get away with this . maybe -- maybe god is on my side this time . maybe he thinks it 's okay because -- because no one saw me do it . but obviously , i was wrong . i do n't -- i do n't think that god thinks it 's okay .

maggie : it 's hard not to think that . melanie : this has nothing to do with nick . maggie : melanie , i saw your face when you ran into nick yesterday . you could n't get out of here fast enough . melanie : because i was surprised , not scared , and i had somewhere else i was supposed to be . you know how much i want this . i have always wanted just a relationship where somebody loves me and it 's real and it 's honest . chad : so what are you saying , gabi -- that if i tell melanie that you knew about andrew all along , you 're gon na turn it around on me ? gabi : look , i tried to tell melanie . i know that i did things wrong . but you know what ? you tried to stop me , okay ? chad : because she was freaked out enough over nick 's parole hearing , okay ? she did n't need to know that the real enemy was right in front of her . gabi : i get it -- you were trying to protect her . your heart was in the right place -- i understand . chad : yeah , uh - huh , all the good that 's done , right ? gabi : i am not the enemy , chad . you know , nick is always going to be an issue for her , especially now that he 's staying in salem and working at the pub . chad : whoa , whoa , whoa . what -- what did you just say ? gabi : oh , you did n't know ? mrs. brady hired him . chad : i do n't believe this . gabi : that 's why she needs her friends now more than ever . chad : oh , do n't you talk like you 're one of her friends . get over yourself ! gabi : chad , look , i know i messed up , and i know that if she finds out , that 's gon na crush her . when she finds out what you did ... lying to her ... covering stuff up ... she 's gon na be destroyed . daniel : so i suppose it 's just a fluke that jennifer 's been given an office , say , in the basement . anne : it was the largest space available at the moment . daniel : you know , she really does n't need large . she needs to be online . you really want to go up against me on this , anne ? no . you do n't . nicole : jennifer , why are you being so defensive ? i 'm just trying to be positive and forward - looking for you . jennifer : `` forward - looking `` ? nicole : yes . brady is a great guy , and you and he , sadly , share something that you , no doubt , could help . that 's the only point i was trying to make . jennifer : i have to get to work . nicole : okay , just one more thing . since you brought up the subject of daniel ... i just hope i did n't offend you the other day . jennifer : oh , when you accused me of pushing him aside ? no , i did n't take offense to that at all , nicole . nicole : i 'm sorry if you think that was the point i was trying to make -- jennifer : no , but i think you were making yourself very clear that the best thing i can do for daniel is to give him space . i understand . nicole : look , i do n't mean to harp on it . that 's just what i 'm getting from him . i know that you do n't want to play mind games with him , no matter how unintentional it may be . jennifer : i 'll see you later . nicole : [ sighs ] and off she goes to work with daniel . [ scoffs ] hmm . well , with the number i just pulled , she 'll probably keep her distance , but ... just in case she does n't ... melanie : what chad and i have is real . maggie : melanie , i never doubted your love for chad . melanie : i know . and i was hung up on the fact that he 's a dimera . but that 's not who he is . maggie : of course not . but that 's not what i 'm concerned about . melanie : you do n't need to be concerned about anything . i called my mom . she 's happy . she 's totally fine with it . she and my brother are gon na come out for the wedding . maggie : that 's wonderful . melanie : it would be ... if you were happy too . maggie : come here . i am happy for you . we are gon na have so much fun planning the perfect wedding for you and chad . so ... when is your mom coming ? melanie : uh , she does n't know . she does n't have her schedule yet . [ sighs ] i was thinking maybe i would go , um -- go see her in europe first . maggie : i -- yes , i think you should go visit her definitely . melanie : i know , i just -- i do n't want to leave chad right now , so maybe i 'll just wait until the wedding . maggie : uh , does that mean you 've set a date ? melanie : no . no , no , no , we 're gon na have a long engagement . maggie : [ laughing ] oh , good . of course . yes . melanie : okay , i have to go . but having your support means ... everything . maggie : you have it ... always . i love you so much . [ crying ] melanie : i love you too . okay . okay . i will , uh -- i 'll call you . maggie : okay . melanie : okay . [ giggles ] maggie : [ sighs ] she 's not in a rush . oh , thank god . chad : all i wanted was for melanie to feel safe , and you messed it up . gabi : me ? really ? look , i am not the reason that nick got paroled , chad . chad : you hired andrew to stalk you . that 's how all this started . gabi : what ? look , all i wanted was for you to notice me -- that 's it . chad : so what are you saying ? this is my fault now ? gabi : yeah , maybe if you would have told me that it was never gon na happen between us , then i would -- chad : are you serious right now ? i had no idea how you felt about me . gabi : really ? [ scoffs ] how could you not ? i mean , did you -- let me -- did you look at me just once , maybe ? once ? chad : you know what ? i wish i did . maybe then i would have realized what a nut job you are and what you were capable of . gabi : or maybe you just liked the idea of me fawning all over you . chad : oh , yep , you know what ? that 's it . that 's what i live for -- being stalked by some lunatic girl who does n't care if someone dies , as long as they get my freakin ' attention ! gabi : chad ... this is not all on me , all right ? if you -- if you would have noticed me , noticed how i felt -- you know what ? you could have told me `` gabi , this is never gon na happen for us . i am never gon na be able to love you . `` then maybe , maybe none of this would have ever happened to melanie .
