[ scene_break ] john : always thought it was hard making a dead man look like he was taking a nap , but you made a guy taking a nap look like a dead man . bo : he 's hooked up to iv 's in the bottom of the casket . john : that 's clever . so , after the funeral service , we 'll go to the cemetery and ? bo : bury an empty casket . this pile of guts gets transferred to a clinic out of town .

[ scene_break ] sami : that 's not love . santo killed colleen . e.j . : no , samantha , he did not . sami : if you 're any indication , dimeras do n't deal well with being told no . e.j . : look , i admit i 'm stubborn . but i am not my grandfather , and he is not me . sami : he is exactly you . you 're both pigheaded , stubborn egomaniacs who will do whatever it takes to get what you want . e.j . : samantha , stop , please . just ease up on this flattery , all right ? people will talk , darling .

[ scene_break ] colleen : i do n't know . santo : you do n't know ? you do n't know because you have no right to know , because i have made it very easy for you to come here , to lie to father mallory . colleen : you think it 's been easy for me ? maybe we should end this now . you 're asking me to give up everything for a man who does n't know me at all . [ scene_break ] sami : good for you , colleen . do n't let him push you around . e.j . : she 's brave , i 'll give her that , just like you . sami : what do you mean by that ? e.j . : you say that i 'm just like santo . maybe . but where does that leave the two of us if you 're just like colleen ? [ scene_break ] lexie : people who did n't know stefano do n't understand that he was capable of inspiring love . but under all that charm were obsessions that destroyed him and our family . do n't ever forget that , benjy . `` i did n't come here to grieve . i came for revenge . i hate the old man . `` anna : did you see roman 's reaction to andré 's death threat ? he barely flinched . i find bravery so sexy . hope : so now you have standards . anna : oh , i 'm serious . i 'd like to do something nice for roman when this is all over . maybe i 'll go by his place and cook him a nice dinner . hope : or maybe not . anna : maybe .

[ scene_break ] lucas : excuse me . what did you mean , what you said earlier about e.j . ? tony : you know , i forget whatever it was i said . lucas : you hinted that he was with sami . if he is , just say it . tony : you just did . marlena : lucas , they 're about to start . do you want to join john and me ? lucas : i got to get out of here . marlena : why ? is something wrong ? lucas : i 'm about to find out . [ scene_break ] sami : i am trying to find a way to end this vendetta . e.j . : so am i . sami : no , you are trying to draw comparisons between us and santo and colleen . e.j . : look , stop denying it . you are just like your great - aunt . sami : why , because i refuse to give in to dimera men ? e.j . : no , because you both refuse to give in to what 's in your heart . sami : colleen , do not let him bully you . e.j . : look , you love her . she loves you . nothing else matters . [ scene_break ] colleen : goodbye , santo . santo : no , colleen . no , no , no . you can not leave till you have made a choice . you have to choose me or the church . colleen : i gave you my virtue . what more do you want ? me own da would n't recognize me for all the lies i 've been telling . santo : what do i want ? what do i want ? colleen , i want you every minute of every day . colleen : if you 're tired of waiting , then i understand . santo : of course i am . colleen , i love you . colleen : i 'm asking you for one more day , santo . and i 'll give you your answer .

[ scene_break ] colleen : one more day . is that too much to be asking for ? santo : let me tell you , colleen , after so much waiting , many men would walk away . colleen : you are not many men , santo . but if you will not wait , i 'll be heartbroken . but i shall survive . santo : i am sure you would . colleen : i love my life as much as i love you . santo : you love being cloistered ? you love being hidden away ? colleen : yes . santo : no , colleen . you confuse love with duty -- what is expected of you by others , not what is meant for you . colleen : oh , so you think i need rescuing . is that it ? you think i 'm a poor , simple girl who did n't know what she signed on for ? well , you 're wrong . i do n't need a savior , santo . i already have one . santo : what i am saying , colleen , is that you are very young and you are very beautiful . and we love each other . why is this decision so difficult ? colleen : because i love being a novice , and i 'll be happier being a nun . i believe in service to god . so if i leave , i have to know that it 's the right choice . santo : fine . you have your wish . take one more day . how could i say no to you ? i love you . colleen : i wo n't keep you waiting . you 'll have your answer tomorrow . santo : i will pray , then . you know , they say that god hears the prayers of a condemned man waiting for a reprieve . colleen : tomorrow .

[ scene_break ] sami : you 're saying the only reason that santo could n't have killed colleen is because you could n't kill me ? please . e.j . : look , samantha , if he killed her , i would know . reading these letters would feel wrong . instead they feel -- sami : no . ah . do n't you dare say fate . e.j . : it scares you , does n't it ? this idea that we may be in the grip of something that is beyond our control . sami : you scare me , e.j . , because you are taking these letters and you twist them around . and you twist around santo and colleen and you and me so that i feel like i ca n't even think straight . e.j . : i 'm not twisting anything . what i 'm doing is giving in to what must be . sami : no , what must be is me and lucas . you are just obsessed with getting what you want . and if someone tries to stop you , well , then there 's hell to pay . e.j . : i 'm not that man anymore , samantha . sami : you ca n't help but be that man , e.j . , because you are a dimera . santo has infected your entire family . he 's in stefano , filling him with hatred . he 's in andré . and you know what ? he is in you . you can deny it all you like , but he is there . e.j . : he is in me . but do n't you understand , samantha ? that is how i know that he could not hurt colleen .

[ sighs ] but they 're the only odds we have , so we got ta roll with them , and hope that they 're enough to break this case open . gus : someday you 'll understand . i did this all for you . victor : look , i do n't want to get ahead of myself here . maggie : oh , we would n't want that . victor : if you were to agree to move in with me , the idea of waking up to you every morning would make me very happy . maggie : me too . victor , i think that you know that i consider myself a modern woman in many ways . especially when it comes to the way people choose to live their lives . [ sighs ] but that does n't mean that there is n't a part of me that 's still pretty darn old fashioned . victor : well , that makes two of us . maggie : i 'm glad you understand . 'cause that 's a part of myself that i need to honor , despite the times that we live in . see , i believe that a commitment between two people -- and it is a formidable commitment to live with someone -- it is n't just a handshake or a kiss ... or even your wonderful king size bed . a real commitment , victor , means marriage ... before god and friends and most of all family . victor : are you saying that you want to get -- maggie : get married ? now ? oh , good heavens , no . i 'm not ready for that . just like i 'm not comfortable living with a man that i 'm not married to . it 's just not me . so while your offer is so sweet and so generous , i 'm sorry . i have to say no . hope : no change in chloe 's condition . brady 's barely left her side . bo : he 's pretty torn up about this . hope : he still cares about her a lot . bo : yeah . this thing started out ugly , then the sicko made it personal . i mean , i thought we had him figured out , then he attacks chloe , blew our m.o . hope : maybe not . i mean , obviously , the guy 's hatred is directed at women . that has n't changed , but the amount of rage he 's shown has grown with each attack . bo : which means whatever 's setting him off is escalating . hope : exactly . and if that 's the case , he will strike again . bo : so we got to figure out who he is before he does . hope : oh , but we need to know more about where this kind of rage comes from . what triggers it to begin with ? bo : you know , the obvious thing would be some woman in his life , you know ? ex- girlfriend , ex - wife ... his mother . hope : why do all of his attacks happen on the pier ? maybe that location is somehow significant in his life . bo : yeah , you know what ? i have an idea . it 's gon na take some time . hope : no , at least we 'll be doing something . i ca n't stand this waiting . knowing that psychopath is still out there thinking he got off scot free , it 's killing me . bo : yeah . quinn : mom , thank you ... vivian : mmm . quinn : for inviting us to lunch . vivian : anytime . quinn : and you ... taylor : hmm . quinn : i will see later . taylor : i hope so . quinn : enjoy the queen 's exhibit . [ laughter ] what ? taylor : oh , it is alexander `` mcqueen . `` quinn : well , there is an exhibit , right ? taylor : yes , there is . quinn : well , good . on that , i 'm off . and no talking about me while i 'm gone either . vivian : mm - hmm . taylor : oh , it is a shame he is so adorable . takes the fun away from making fun of him . vivian : i must admit that i 'm very taken with him myself . uh , that might seem like an odd thing for a mother to say about her son . taylor : a bit . vivian : well , you know , we have n't really had the traditional mother - son relationship . in fact , when he came to this town , i was n't sure we 'd have any relationship . at least not one that would turn out well . taylor : well , obviously that 's changed . vivian : but it seems that he has a tremendous ability for forgiveness , which he did not inherit from me , but i 'm very grateful for . taylor : well , from what he has told me , he is really enjoying getting to know you as well . vivian : you know , to be blunt , i did n't think i 'd like you very much . well , i have very high standards for my son . taylor : understandably . vivian : but i find that i 'm enjoying your company enormously . taylor : well , thank you . vivian : i actually think we could be friends . taylor : i would like that . vivian : and i see just from this little bit of time how happy you make my son . and , um ... that 's very important to me . gus : just in case i need a little something extra . sami : come on , baby . i want this job . i want the job . i want this job . caroline : you 've been here for a long time . sami : oh . oh , sorry , grandma . caroline : i 'm just curious , you know , as to what 's got you so occupied . sami : oh , uh , nothing . i mean , i just was applying for a job . caroline : well , that 's wonderful . sami : yeah , i think so . caroline : huh . sami : what ? caroline : you tell me . you 've got that sneaky sami look on your face . you know , like , used to mean you had your hands in my cookie jar . sami : grandma ! that is not fair . i ca n't believe you can read my mind like that . caroline : oh , sweetheart , if only that were true . huh ? sami : so i 'm not stealing cookies and i 'm not changing paternity test results or anything . caroline : well , that 's a relief . sami : look , grandma , i -- i applied for a job even though rafe told me that he wanted me to wait . caroline : so you could n't wait ? sami : right , i could n't . i mean , look , in this job market , i did n't want someone else to snatch up the job that should be for me before i even had a chance to apply . is that so wrong ? caroline : [ chuckles ] well , it 's certainly proactive . sami : i have a feeling in my gut that this job is legit . and if it 's not , if it turns out to be a scam , then i 'll figure out what to do then . i just feel like rafe is being overprotective . that 's all . caroline : well , i can understand his concern . after what you 've been through , he 's just trying to do the best for you . sami : what are you talking about , what i 've been through ? caroline : i mean , sami , i know that you had cysts removed . you 're probably waiting and worrying that it might be cancer . sami : oh . caroline : hmm . that all you have to say , huh ? `` oh `` ? why did n't you tell me ? quinn : great . i appreciate it . i 'll pick up the new key card immediately . thank you . hope : and since we have n't been able to use any physical evidence to identify our attacker so far , we are trying a different tac . rafe : like what ? hope : well , we 're thinking there 's got to be something in this guy 's past , something significant that 's triggered his rage . rafe : that 's a good thought . so where you looking ? bo : well , all the attacks happened at the same location . rafe : the pier . hope : yeah , and whatever that event was , maybe it happened there . rafe : an incident with a girlfriend maybe ? hope : maybe he was jilted . bo : or a traumatic event with his mom . we 're going through the database , see if anything fits . rafe : how far back you going ? bo : 20 - 25 years . rafe : all right . hope : hope we 're not wasting time looking for something that does n't exist . rafe : well , uh , ca n't hurt to look . what years you want me to cover ? bo : ' 90 to ' 95 . rafe : okay , i 'm on it . you guys have a free lunch or something today ? hope : we were taste testing for the big party . rafe : seriously ? hope : yeah . rafe : when i 'm here , it 's cold turkey and white bread from the deli across the street . what 's going on ?

[ holly fussing ] adrienne : what do you mean , bonnie gave you the -- what do you mean that bonnie gave you the money ? where did you see her ? sheila : at the mansion . i was there giving justin the note , and i ran into lockhart . and i got to admit , man , i was n't going for the whole switcheroo thing at first , until i saw her again , and y ' all really , really look like twins . adrienne : unlike me , she is a real con person ! if you think you 're gon na get your money out of her , you can forget it . i 've heard about her . sheila . sheila : [ laughs ] funny you 'd say that , 'cause she said the same thing about you , how , when justin read the card , he 'd have no reason to give me the money because he already knew where you were . ugh , whatever . adrienne : no , that 's not true ! that 's not true . he 'd be very grateful . he 'd want to reward you ! sheila : not according to bonnie . and she has a reason to pay me . because if she does n't , i can blow her whole cover sky - high . last thing she wants to do is get booted out of the `` greek tycoon 's `` estate . adrienne : what ? i do n't live at the mansion . i live at the salem inn with lucas . sheila : uh , not anymore . see , the you that people think is adrienne , she and justin are back together . justin : seems to me you 're trying to weasel out of paying for your crime . hattie : no ! no , not at all . i - i just do n't want to pretend that i did n't have help . justin : well , even if you did , even if you were the brains behind the operation and this other person was nothing more than a grunt doing your dirty work -- hattie : i did -- i did most of the dirty work myself . but the fact is , they 're just as guilty . justin : `` just as guilty `` ? you kidnapped a woman and stole her life ! hattie : yeah . well , what they did is just as awful . justin : okay , then . tell me who it is . eric : so hattie admitted to everything ? marlena : [ chuckles ] thank you , sweetie . uh , you know , i - i actually saw her at the station . she fell apart and confessed . eric : including why she was hanging out with adrienne ? marlena : no . no . but she did say she was not working alone . eric : well , do you think adrienne was trying to help hattie do what she did ? marlena : oh , honey , i do n't want to think that . eric : well , i 'm sure she thought hattie was you , just like we all did . marlena : i 'm so curious what that -- that `` therapy session `` was all about . eric : yeah , it was more like a celebration to me . marlena : a celebration ? of what ? eric : i wish i knew . marlena : well , in any event , we 'll get to the bottom of it sooner or later . but i really want to ask how you 're doing . eric : me ? oh , i 'm fine . see ? marlena : hmm . eric : mom , you have to be somewhere now , do n't you ? marlena : well , no , no , i do have some time , actually , so -- eric : mom , you came here to talk about hattie , did n't you ? marlena : we can talk about hattie , but first we 'll talk about you . [ soft dramatic music ] nicole : i like working at the center . but , brady , this is n't because of eric . brady : what is it because of , then ? nicole : well , because i - i like people . i like helping them . you know , i even wrote a few grants , and julie seems to think we 'll get additional funding . brady : that is great . nicole : brady . brady , come here , please . this is n't about eric . so ? what do you think ? brady : what do i think ? i think that after everything that 's happened between you and eric in the last couple weeks that if i were to look at you right now and say it did n't bother me at all that you were going back to work with him , i 'd be lying to your face . that 's what i think . nicole : oh , i never thought being around someone could make me so happy . brady : [ sighs ] well , i wish you were talking about me , but i know better . nicole : no . brady , you make me happy too . it 's just , having holly back and watching her play with tate and hearing her laugh , it 's like all my prayers have been answered . brady : nothing 's gon na change that . nicole : nothing 's gon na change us either , right ? brady : what do you mean ? nicole : well ... [ sighs ] after what adrienne said , you know , that you never get over your first love -- i mean , i do n't believe that . and i 'm hoping you do n't either . brady : i don't . i don't . i mean , that 's -- it 's a cliché about love that never made much sense to me . it 's kind of ridiculous , if you think about it . nicole : me either . i mean , your first love , it could be awful , could be a terrible relationship , and of course you would get over that , right ? i mean ... brady : yeah . nicole : unless you like to wallow in your own misery . brady : who wants to do that ? exactly . nicole : so ... you 're okay with me going back to work at the center ? brady : yeah . yeah . i - i said i was . you know , i said i was , and i meant it to you , and i know it means a lot to you to do it . besides , who can say no to julie , right ? so ... nicole : it 's not easy . brady : you told me there 's nothing going on between you and my brother , and i believe you . and this not only gives me the chance to say that i 'm totally fine with it , but it gives me the chance to prove it to you , okay ? nicole : okay . adrienne : this ca n't be happening . i ca n't be back with justin . sheila : all i know is , when i was there looking for him and i ran into bonnie , she said she lived there with him at the mansion . adrienne : i do n't get it . live -- live there ? what about lucas ? sheila : she probably dumped him . adrienne : oh , my god ! oh ! oh , my god , lucas ! [ sobbing ] this must 've been her plan all along -- to take over my life so she could get to justin and his money . oh ! sheila : and , uh ... it looks like it 's paying off . adrienne : no . justin 's a smart man . he will figure this out sooner rather than later . sheila : girl , wake up . a man has no use for a brain when it comes to love . they see what they want to see . when your ex sees bonnie , girl , all he sees is you . adrienne : [ gasping ] hattie : you might not believe me at first . but when you hear what i got to tell you , you 're gon na -- [ door opens ] bonnie : justin , what are -- what are you doing here ? justin : what am i doing ? i 'm listening to this woman try to convince me to represent her . bonnie : can i see you for a minute outside ? hattie : uh , no . no , you may not see him for a minute outside . i 'm talking to him now . you 'll just have to wait your turn . bonnie : it 'll just take a moment , please . justin : hold that thought . hattie : hey , wh -- justin : i 'll be right back . [ suspenseful music ] bonnie : are you forgetting what that woman did to y -- our friends ? i mean , john and marlena -- what would they think when they found out you were representing her ? justin : well , i have n't agreed to do that . she 's just insisting that i hear her out . bonnie : about what ? justin : well , apparently she was n't working alone and she 's hoping that if she gives up her accomplice , the judge will go easy on her . bonnie : you know , that woman 's practically a grifter . i mean , you ca n't believe anything she has to say . justin : well , i 'd still like to hear her out . bonnie : well , just promise me you wo n't represent her . justin : adrienne , you need to calm down . bonnie : promise me ! please . justin : why do you care so much anyway ? bonnie : well , i - i do n't want you to get involved with -- with a client who 's clearly bad news . justin : well , whether i do or not , it 's my decision . now , i know you did n't come down here to tell me to steer clear of hattie adams . why are you here ? claire : okay . tell me , theo . what is this big problem ? theo : uh , tripp . you know , he asked me if i was cool with him asking you out , and i do n't think i want to live with someone who wants to date my girlfriend . claire : oh . yeah , you wo n't have to . theo : okay , so are we gon na tell him he ca n't move in ? claire : no . no , no , no , he can still move in . theo : okay , i 'm confused now . claire : okay , okay . so the reason that tripp asked you how you felt about him asking me out is because i told him how you got jealous after you saw us hugging . and then he decided -- on his own , i swear -- that he wanted to help me out by making you even more jealous . theo : and how would that help you ? claire : because if you got jealous enough , then ... eventually you 'd admit that you want me back , kind of like you did . you still want me back , do n't you ? eric : mom , please . do n't look so worried . everything is fine . marlena : or are you being stoic ? i know things are n't easy , working here with nicole , especially given your history . brady : why do n't you call eric , tell him you 're gon na come back ? nicole : really ? i mean , i 'd like to ... especially because he 's probably stressed out right now about trying to replace me . eric : it was n't easy at first , working with nicole . in fact , it was downright uncomfortable . but we found a way to work through it . marlena : i 'm so glad to hear that . brady : you do n't have to explain , and you do n't need to get my permission , that 's for sure . i want you to do what you want to do . so call eric . right now , if you want to . eric : not that it matters anymore . marlena : what do you mean ? eric : nicole -- her time here is over . it 's probably for the best . [ line rings ] [ cell phone ringing ] excuse me .

[ cell phone rings ] i 'm sorry . i just do n't want some other annoying , pushy reporter getting the scoop on me . justin : yeah , what do you got ? look , i got to take this . bonnie : no , no , go ahead . i 'll be fine .

[ dramatic music ] brady : [ sighs ] [ suspenseful music ] hattie : i kind of feel like you 're leaving me high and dry here , you know . do you expect me to take the fall all by myself for this ? bonnie : well , if you 're the only one who got caught , why ruin both lives ? hattie : well , because you were involved in it too . bonnie : [ sighs ] hattie : look , you stole adrienne 's life , same as i stole marlena 's life . and you put adrienne in prison , and i put marlena in the nuthouse . bonnie : all right , all right , all right . just keep it down , would you ? hattie : it just does n't seem fair to me , you know ? you 're out there living in the lap of luxury and you got that greek god just drooling all over you . bonnie : honey , but it 's not my fault that things did n't work out for you and roman , really . hattie : i know it 's not . i know it 's not . it just seems like i get the short end of the stick , you know ? and ... well , before , i had to go up for a crime i did n't commit . and do n't think i want to go back there without a fight . bonnie : look , i do n't expect you to do that . i just -- please , please , hattie . please . hattie : i do n't know , bonnie . seems to me like if i got to go back to prison , well , then you should too . theo : of course i still want you back . claire : oh , okay . phew . theo : but , um , you 're sure you did n't put tripp up to trying to make me jealous , right ? claire : yes . yes , i 'm sure . i swear to god , that was all tripp . theo : mm - hmm . claire : not that i was n't happy that he did it . i should probably say something to him . theo : what are you gon na say ? claire : `` thank you '' -- for helping you and me get back together .

[ uneasy music ] belle : okay . will : okay . hi . i know mom 's the reason you 're in this bed . i remember a lot of things being her fault . i 'm kind of afraid that i 'm taking after her , that i -- it seems like i 'm leaving chaos wherever i go . i 'm in a pretty messed - up situation , and i would -- i would give anything to tell you about it . i love mom , but there 's ... some things i could never talk to her about , and ... you were always that person for me . you always told me to be myself . you said that ... would be good enough for anyone . i hope i 'm doing the right thing now . ciara : i can not believe my mom just dragged ben out of here . like , all of a sudden , she 's got this new evidence out of nowhere . tripp : look , look , i know that ben took care of you when you got hurt , and that you know him in some way the rest of us do n't -- ciara : ben put my bike back together . he stopped me from feeling like i ruined something that my dad loved . tripp : that does n't mean you owe the guy ! ciara : why not ? tripp : because he killed three people , ciara , and he meant to kill will ! ciara : okay , but he 's not that person anymore ! god ! tripp : ciara , look , i know that you 're loyal , and i know you 're stubborn . but ben 's print was found on that can that your mother found , and what was in that can is what started the fire that could 've killed you . those are facts ! i mean , you 've got ta see that your mom 's just not out to get ben , right ? hope : i arrested him for attempted murder . rafe : you got ta be kidding me . hope : sit down . let me finish . do n't say anything until i finish . after i left you , i went back out to the cabin to do another search , just in case i had missed something , and i found an empty can of accelerant . i ran it through the lab , just to confirm my suspicions and have it dusted for prints . rafe : i do n't believe this . hope : forensics found a partial print on the can . it matches ben 's . sami : well , i guess no one should be surprised , you sick pervert . ben : what are you in for this time , sweetheart ? sami : oh , shut your mouth ! hope : no ! hey ! you sit -- sami ! rafe : what are you doing ? cut it out ! hope : hey ! rafe ...

[ somber guitar music ] maybe she thought that she was just gon na be a burden to you kids . come on , could n't she know she 'd never be that ? brady : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , dad . john : i do n't remember my life before her . i do n't have any idea how to ... live it without her .

[ eerie music ] tripp : you are a good person for caring so much , but this is not your fault and not your problem , okay ? if ben did start that fire , then he deserves what he gets . ciara : yeah . hope : sit down . do you want a phone to call your lawyer ? ben : i do n't have to call him , because i did n't set the fire . besides , i 'm sure ciara 's already done that . she knows i 'm innocent . hope : this says you 're not . ben : never seen that before in my life . hope : you 're lying .

[ scene_break ] john : excuse me , gentlemen . roman : look , john , we are sorry to interrupt . if it were n't for hope and jack and now bo -- john : no , i understand . we do n't have any time to waste , and i want to get to the bottom of this as much as you do . so first thing 's first . how in the hell are you alive ? i mean , how did you survive these murders and end up in this place , anyway ? roman : well , that i 'm afraid we ca n't tell you . we really do n't know . victor : we do have a theory . john : sounds like this could take some time . let 's have a seat and hear it . roman : all right . well , starting with the ... salem stalker murders , we figure they were staged . staged for whatever reason to make marlena , as well as the other victims , think she was the killer . she confronted us . i mean , we remember that clearly , and so does she . john : well , she confessed to being the killer under the truth serum . roman : and the details of that confession had to have been planted or brainwashed into her subconscious , because we know doc is not a killer . john : i never thought she was . i got ta tell you something , gentlemen . i mean , obviously , you 're all alive , but you put on one hell of a show . roman : we figure we were given some kind of herb or drug to make it only appear that we were dead . victor : obviously , it had to be strong enough to fool a doctor or even a mortician . john : yeah , well , i think you 're right about the drug . i mean , that 's the only explanation , and it fooled just about everybody , even lexie ... except for our trusty mortician milbauer . it did n't fool him because he was in on it . victor : how did you know about that ? john : i had my suspicions when we came across ... a teddy bear , vic . one green eye , one blue eye . the significance is that everybody in salem knew that that bear had been buried with marlena . victor : so somebody opened the casket . roman : to get this teddy bear . john : that 's not all they got . we exhumed marlena 's body . the bear 's gone , marlena 's gone , the casket 's empty . roman : she 's alive , she 's here , but you do n't know that . victor : so , what did you do after you found out that marlena 's body was missing ? john : i paid a little visit to the mortician 's office and confronted milbauer about his missing corpse . he pulled a gun and blew his brains out . [ scene_break ] philip : you really think your coming here was a mistake ? belle : i do n't know what i think about anything anymore . part of me wants to move on with you and ... part of me is just not willing to give up on shawn . i mean , this is crazy , and it 's horribly unfair to you . jan : oh , darn it . i ca n't hear what they 're saying . oh , what the heck ? a picture 's worth a thousand words , right ? philip : belle , this is n't about being fair to me . this is about you . i hate seeing you go through all this confusion . i want to help you come to some sort of resolution . so look in your heart and tell me , what do you really want ? belle : i thought i knew . philip : i 'll take that as my answer . you still want shawn , and you 're willing to wait for him . [ scene_break ] belle : these rings represented the promise and commitment that shawn and i made . philip : well , if you 're feeling guilty , like you 're breaking some sort of vow that you two made , why do n't you take a look at shawn ? what is the way he 's treated you say about his level of commitment ? what does it say about how much he cares for you or your feelings ? jan : looks like he knows how to work it . i 'll bet he knows all the right buttons to push -- in bed and out . philip : i think i have proven myself to you , belle . this is not about sex for me . this is about a lifetime commitment . i know that you could never give your body to someone without giving your soul , as well , and i think that is great . that 's why i love you so much . belle , i could make you so happy . and i will never hurt you the way that shawn has . so i 'm asking you to put these rings away ... philip : and wear mine . [ scene_break ] jan : damn . this is getting serious . shawn - d : [ thinking ] no ! belle , do n't do it ! i love you . jan : poor shawn . belle does n't even know you 're here . look at her admiring philip 's ring . the question is , will she take it ? [ scene_break ] mimi : nothing was going on . i 'm just upset that our whole dinner was ruined and we keep getting those annoying phone calls . rex : i 've got an idea . why do n't we just screen our calls the rest of the night ? okay ? if anybody calls , we wo n't answer unless it 's belle , okay ? and as far as dinner goes , you know , it 's already kinda late . how about i just make some popcorn , we cuddle on the couch , and we watch that movie ? mimi : what movie ? rex : the one you need to watch for your communications class -- the one you rented yesterday . mimi : right . that movie . rex : yeah . `` ready or not . `` `` the funny and heartwarming story of an ambitious young couple on the fast track to success whose lives are turned upside - down by the unexpected arrival of a baby . `` mimi : a baby . that sounds like a chick flick . are you sure you want to watch it ? rex : yeah , i want to . i mean , i do n't know . it sounds ... kinda cute . mimi : really ? rex : yeah , i mean , it got two thumbs up . how bad can it be ? mimi : sounds like an interesting plot . i mean , uh , how would you feel about something like that ? rex : something like what ? mimi : like ... having a baby . rex : i ... ca n't think of anything that would excite me more . [ scene_break ] nicole : i ca n't believe this is happening . i 've waited . i 've wanted this for so long . i just hope that when i wake up in the morning , i do n't find this all to be a dream . or worse ... that making love to me was your way of forgetting chloe . wha -- [ thinking ] oh , damn . why did i have to open my big mouth ? he was n't even thinking about chloe until i mentioned her name . victor 's voice : ha ha ha ha . nicole : oh , my god . you again . what the hell are you doing back here ? victor : well , i wanted to be the first to congratulate you , my dear . you blew it . ha ha ha ha . [ scene_break ] roman : well , you know what , john ? we had figured that milbauer had to be involved in it . otherwise , the rest of it does n't make sense . john : what do you mean by `` the rest of it `` ? roman : our theory , after we were drugged and made to appear dead , we figure our bodies were switched with identical corpses . victor : ones that had been altered to look like us . marlena : well , that would certainly explain why jack 's eyes and organs were donated while he was still alive , which -- please , god -- i hope he is . roman : something else . our wounds had to have been faked to be fatal before the bodies were switched . because when we wound up here , we were just fine , other than being groggy and disoriented from whatever drugs they gave us . john : that 's an interesting theory , roman . the bodies being switched before they were buried . unfortunately , it ca n't be true . [ scene_break ] mimi : really ? you 're serious about wanting a baby ? rex : of course i 'm serious . i ca n't imagine anything more important than having a family . mimi : oh , god , i , uh , i am so glad to hear you say that because -- rex : but the most important thing is not having anything yet . i mean , a baby right now -- that would be a serious mistake . mimi : oh . [ scene_break ] philip : look , i know that asking you to take my ring -- it 's a big step . just like our being together physically -- it 's a serious commitment . but i have waited a long time to be with you , belle . and i 'll wait longer if i have to . i will never pressure you . but i wo n't lie to you . i want you , and i think that you want me , too , if you will just let yourself admit it and trust that it 's okay . what do i have to do to prove to you that i 'm sincere ? you want me to stand on my head ? because i will do it . i will stand on my head right now . belle : look , i - i want this settled as much you do . you 've been so unwavering , and all i 've done is gone back and forth . you deserve an answer right now . i just ... [ scene_break ] roman : thanks , doc . john , what the -- what are you talking about here ? i mean , the bodies would 've had to have been switched before they were buried . john : well , if that were the case , these identical corpses would still be six feet under back in salem ... which they are not . and we know this because ... bo never believed that hope was dead . and that mysterious signal that was coming across their police computer he 'd figured out was a message from you -- he was even more convinced she was n't dead . not only that , he thought that you were alive and you were alive and ... marlena was alive . but i , for one , was not of that opinion . but bo would n't let go . so he got an exhumation order for your body and abe 's . and that 's when we found out that all the coffins were empty . marlena : all the bodies were gone ? john : all . victor : maybe the bodies were taken so that tests could n't be run to prove that they were n't us . roman : yeah , why would , uh , whoever think that anybody would dig up those graves ? john : well , especially when everybody in salem up to this point believed that you were all very dead because ... of you . marlena : thank god that 's a lie . john : yeah , well , i thank god for a lot of things . i thank god that you survived a gunshot wound to the heart . roman : yeah , and again , that had to be fake , just like all the other so - called murders . john : i 'm gon na switch gears here . vic , this question 's for you . now , we know that you were not a part of these salem stalker victims . so who do you think took you out ? victor : well , you do n't have to worry about that , john . that 's personal business . believe me , when i get back to salem , i 'll take care of it . everyone who conspired to do me in will get exactly what 's coming to them . [ scene_break ] nicole : brady , i 'm so sorry . i did n't mean to be insensitive , bringing up chloe while we were -- while you and i were ... i ... brady : nicole , chloe 's in my heart , and she always will be . but if i let myself , i could spend the rest of my life mourning for her and grieving , and i do n't want that . i do n't think that chloe would want that for me , either . i think that she would want me to move on , to find happiness , and that 's what i 'm determined to do .

[ door slams ] rafe : hi . oof . how you doing ? i heard a lot of people say having a heart attack is like having an elephant sit on your chest . i 'm sorry about that . stefano : spare me the phony sympathy , all right ? rafe : listen , i got to ask you some questions . normally i would n't bother you , but i am kind of up against it time - wise . stefano : i did not kill those two young women . rafe : no one 's saying you did . stefano : nor did my son . rafe : well , see the thing about that is that there 's a witness who says they say chad angry and drunk . you know , sometimes people do things they would n't normally do when they 're in that condition . stefano : my son is not a killer . rafe : no ? stefano : do you hear me ? huh ? he is not a killer . rafe : you sure about that ? stefano : take your damn questions and your ... [ coughing ] what 's going on ? rafe : oh , i 'm sorry . i do n't know , i just -- i was asking him some questions and he got a little upset . sir , i ca n't let you stay . rafe : yeah , yeah . okay , okay . no problem . no problem . stefano : [ groans ] rafe : see , i should have known better . dimeras , they always protect their family . you 'd do anything to watch out for your son , would n't you ? stefano : blood is blood . rafe : yeah . stefano : [ muttering ] chad : what are you doing ? were you just in there ? rafe : yeah , i was just checking to see if your father knew anything about the investigation . chad : okay , well , i just spoke to the cardiologist , and he 's not out of the woods yet , so why do n't you just let him rest . rafe : do n't worry ; i wo n't be back . your father did n't know anything anyway , not that he 'd say anything if he did . chad : right . rafe : yeah . chad : so what ? i 'm still in the cross - hairs ? rafe : you 're the only suspect . chad : yeah , i get that , but you know i 'm being framed , right ? rafe , for a minute , i thought it was my father . it 's not . i 'm out of ideas . i do n't know -- i do n't know what else to do . rafe : let 's go somewhere to talk . clyde : what the hell were you doing at the police station ? jj : went there to try to rattle somebody 's cage , get an update on paige . would 've looked kind of suspicious if i did n't push for answers , right ? clyde : right . jj : the weird thing is the business with chad dimera . clyde : i 've seen the papers . jj : so obviously i was wrong about you being behind it . clyde : yeah , whatever . best thing you can do is forget about your girlfriend . bad stuff happens . it 's time to move on , 'cause we got work to do . ( vo ) maggie was n't thrilled when ben and i got married . justin : eve , i 'm afraid i am really swamped right now . eve : oh . justin : but , you know what , if you 'd like , i can refer you to some police counselors ? eve : no , no . justin : they work with victim 's families all the time . eve : you know , i just got to learn not to be so needy . justin : it 's okay to ask for help . eve : you 'll let me know if you get anymore new developments , right ? of course . and like i said , an arrest is imminent . eve : thank you . take care . rafe : if you think that you 're being framed , you 're the one that 's gon na have to prove it . chad : because you 've already decided i 'm guilty . rafe : oh , i have n't decided anything , but we are this damn close to arresting you . think about it . you were the last person seen having an argument with the woman who was later found strangled . we just found out that you were near the dormitory of a student who was also found strangled . chad : i barely knew who she was . rafe : maybe . but paige was the one who saw that you had a cut on your lip , making her a witness for the prosecution . you tell me what you were doing by her dormitory at 11 : 00 that night ? yeah , i did n't think so . so now what do we have ? we have the same mo for two murders . you know what else we have ? we have that bloody napkin with your blood on it at the first scene and the key to your gate . and we also have physical evidence that links to the dormitory and the dimera mansion . now , the only good thing your damn lawyer has going for you is weak motive and the fact that there was no dna found on either one of the ties that the victims were strangled with . chad : i know , all right , but can you tell me how much time i have ? rafe : very little . you 're not going to be doing yourself much good if you 're in prison . chad : do you think i 'm guilty ? yes or no . rafe : well , if the evidence says so , then yes . and if not , then no , but the evidence is piling on up damn quick . i need you to rack that brain of yours and figure out who hates you so much that they want to see you go down for double murder . hope : thanks for sticking up for me . aiden : hey . so joey has some serious family issues . you know , maybe he 's just taking it out on you . hope : oh , i suppose . or maybe , you know , does n't help that he 's a teenager . aiden : no , no , not one bit . [ both chuckle ] [ phone buzzing ] ciara : chase is all busy playing video games with his friend . why ca n't you just give me the news now and tell chase later ? hope : because then chase would find out after you , and that would n't be fair . aiden : hey , you know , i have to go see someone right away . hope : do n't roll your eyes . aiden : can i meet you all at the hospital after the physicals ? hope : yeah , of course . aiden : okay , all right , good . hope : love you . come on , ciara . no rolling your eyes .

[ clattering outside ] kate : what was that ? rafe : okay . so chad 's been alerted . maybe we should split up , check in with perimeter and patrol units , see if there 's been any movement . you good ? hope : huh ? oh , yeah . i was just , um -- since aiden was instrumental in getting the charges to stick ... rafe : yeah ? hope : against weston ... maybe we need to check in with him . rafe : no . you should not be the one to do that . i 'll put another cop on it . hope : thank you . rafe : mm - hmm . well , hey , has he said anything else to you about reopening stefano 's murder case ? hope : no . i 'm not sure if i should feel relieved about it ... or really nervous . chase : hope wo n't have a choice ? what does that mean ? aiden : chase , i do n't want you worrying about it , all right ? chase : dad , i do n't get it . aiden : [ sighs ] okay , look . i can tell you this , all right ? i have a little piece of information that i know hope will like to keep secret . chase : what , so you 're gon na blackmail her into being with you ? aiden : no , look . here 's what 's gon na happen , all right ? she and i are gon na spend a little alone time together , all right ? she 'll remember all the good times we had together and then remember our love . claire : okay , i will . yeah , i love you too . bye . ooh .

[ soft dramatic music ] chad : maybe i should come over and just check things out . kate : no , no , it 's fine . it was -- it was just the wind . chad : okay , well , i still do n't want you to be alone . kate : [ sighs ] look . chad , i 'm fine . i have my security . they 're gon na be here anytime . and if something happens before that , i have rafe on speed - dial . i 'll just call him . chad : okay . stay safe . kate : you stay safe too . you and thomas . jj : you sure you do n't mind us making a pit stop ? i 'm running on empty . gabi : impressive . jj : sorry ? gabi : the whole text - without - looking thing . jj : i 'm sorry . fielding work texts . i 'll stop . you have my full attention . gabi : # blessed . jj : so ... working for chad dimera . ca n't say i 'm all that happy about it . gabi : you know what ? just go back to texting . jj : i love you , gabi . and i worry about you . getting involved with a dimera , even in business , can be dangerous . gabi : i 'm picking out clothes for chad . i 'm literally getting paid to shop . i mean , hello ? dream job ! jj : i 'm being serious . gabi : jj , you 're a cop . jj : what does that have to do with anything ? gabi : you 're telling me my job is dangerous ? jj : that 's a whole different thing . gabi : why ? is it because i 'm a woman ? jj : no , it has nothing to do with you . you know what i mean . gabi : no , i do n't know . please tell me . jj : chad leads a complicated life . because of his name , he has a lot of enemies . i tried to warn abigail about that too . gabi : jj , it 's -- jj : come on , gabi . ca n't you understand why it would worry me ? gabi : not really . the whole -- the whole situation that happened with your sister , the tragedy of what happened ... i get that it 's a pain that you 're always gon na have , but it had nothing to do with chad , nothing . jj : how can you say that ? gabi : because it was ben weston who killed all those people and he put her through hell . jj : yeah , but chad was in the picture . he provoked it . gabi : i do n't think that chad intended to provoke anything with ben . he always tried to protect her against him . jj : yeah , well , that went really well . gabi : well , of course it did n't go well because he was a psychopath . but the way it all went down , i am sure that chad did everything in his power to protect abigail from what happened because he loved her very much . jj : yeah , well , a lot of dimera men have loved their women so much and they all end up getting hurt . badly . or worse . look what ej did to my sister . practically ruining her reputation . got her fired from her job . that really screwed her up too . gabi : ej 's not here anymore , jj . jj : but chad is . and though he may not be directly at fault , i feel like i lost my sister to the dimeras . and i 'm not gon na lose you to them too . kate : okay . windows , doors closed . locked .

[ door opens ] justin : adrienne . what 's going on in here ? and how did you get in here ? bonnie : oh , i may have told the officer that i was your assistant . please do n't be mad at me . justin : i 'm not mad . i just do n't understand why you 'd lie . bonnie : well , i told you , i wanted -- wanted to talk to hattie for `` the spectator , `` but she 's not being very cooperative . hattie : hey , i got something going on here , you know ? bonnie : well , fine . we can just go now , then . hattie : no , wait . wait . wait a minute . hold on . hold on . there 's no reason you should leave empty - handed , you know ? how about if i give you a -- a big , juicy story for your next headline , maybe tomorrow , you know ? come on , sit down , dimples . you 'll want to hear this . how about if i tell you the name of the person that i was working with ? [ tense music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] bonnie : maybe we should talk one - on - one , hattie , for the exclusive ? hattie : well , why ? do n't you want the whole world to know who i was working with ? justin : okay . who was it ? hattie : it was , uh , anjelica deveraux . justin : wait a minute . you 're saying anjelica was behind this ? hattie : yeah . till she up and croaked , left me holding the bag . justin : why ? hattie : because she figured out that i look like -- like marlena evans . and then so she hired me to impersonate her and take over her miserable - ass life , and , um -- and there it is . so there . you got your story . justin : wait a minute . i meant why would anjelica want to hurt marlena ? lucas : do n't start with me , okay ? with all the losses i 've been dealing with lately , i just had one little drink , one drink to take the edge off . that 's it . you do n't have to act like it 's the end of the world . if you have the papers , i 'll sign them now . we can get back to work . kate : [ sighs ] i do n't need your signatures anymore . lucas : why not ? kate : because i 'm firing you . abe : fired ? the fbi fired you ? eli : well , they 're pretty decisive that way . abe : i do n't understand . you ran a solid investigation . eli : yeah , well , the bureau thinks that i mishandled the case . abe : raines would 've gotten away if it had n't been for you . eli : let 's just say those are n't the details that matter to my boss . abe : well ... i hope you did n't lose your job because of me . eli : you ? abe : yeah , well , it was my idea to -- to use myself as bait , to let people think that dario had named me as his accomplice . eli : it was n't that . the bureau was n't happy that a civilian was caught in the cross fire . abe : a civilian ? you mean gabi . gabi : a double wedding with chad and abigail ? [ softly ] okay . sonny : gabi , if it makes you uncomfortable , you do n't have to come . paul : as much as we want you there . sonny : i mean , it 'd be awful if you did n't come . we obviously want you there . but if it 's gon na be too difficult for you , i completely understand . gabi : okay , can i , um -- can i take a minute to think about this ? i do n't think i can give you an answer right now . sonny : sure . yeah , yeah . take all the time you need . gabi : okay . okay , but , um , listen , whatever i decide for myself , arianna will be there . sonny : she will ? gabi : yeah , of course . of course . i mean , i would never -- i would never take that away from her . she 's -- she 's thrilled to be your flower girl , and she wants to be a part of that . sonny : okay , well , maybe it 's time we make it official ? gabi : yeah . sonny : tell her the good news ? gabi : yeah . chad : you know , uh , you 're pretty incredible . that you were able to broker peace with , uh -- with my crazy and very dysfunctional family . abigail : dysfunctional ? you think they 're dysfunctional ? nah . no , they are just totally virtuous and wholesome . chad : aw , that 's so sweet that you think of my family that way . that 's amazing . but , you know , seriously , i 'm grateful that you were brave enough to , uh , talk some sense into them . abigail : well , i know it 's important to you that there be peace among all of us dimeras . chad : yes , it is . and , uh , who would 've thunk it , that you were the one to be able to do it ? abigail : well , i think we all just want the same thing . we want the company to thrive and want there to be a legacy for the family . chad : yes , yes . and , uh , i mean , with kate and that , uh -- and that deal -- she 's close . it could , uh -- could secure the future for dimera for a long time . abigail : mm - hmm . chad : it 's important . abigail : you miss being in charge , do n't you ? mm - hmm . chad : i do . yeah , i miss being ceo . but in the meantime , i 'm , uh -- i 'm happy to have , uh , this extra time with you and thomas . you 're my deal of a lifetime . abigail : mm ! chad : oh , that was cheesy . but it 's true . it 's true . i am the luckiest guy in the world . if your skin had a wash label marlena : do you remember eric 's reaction when you told him how hattie broke up with you ? john : yeah , he 's protective of his mom . it hit him pretty hard . said he was gon na drop everything and go over and he was gon na talk to you and -- as it turns out , hattie -- just to figure out what the hell is going on . marlena : he did . he did that . he went right to the salem inn looking for me . and he said he heard a lot of loud music coming from one of the rooms . and then he heard hattie 's laughter above the music . and when he knocked on the door , hattie opened the door -- to adrienne 's room . john : come on . what would adrienne be doing hanging out with hattie ? marlena : well , that 's what he wondered . he said there was music playing . there was a lot of junk food being consumed . and they were drinking . john : what the hell ? oh , come on . so let me ask you this . how did hattie explain that away ? marlena : apparently hattie said that she was there counseling adrienne over the breakup with lucas and that they were doing some sort of a role - reversal therapy . john : oh , come on , doc . that does n't make any sense . marlena : because it 's not true . we both know that hattie did n't take over my life because she -- because she wanted to be a doctor . john : doc , are you saying that hattie 's been working with adrienne ? justin : so are you telling me that anjelica was after adrienne ? that was her endgame ? hattie : yeah . see , i was supposed to pretend to be marlena , and then i was gon na have her in therapy , and then eventually i 'd just drive her nuts . bonnie : so that 's why you came to my hotel room after i broke up with lucas . you knew i 'd be guilt - ridden for breaking his heart . hattie : come on , i never hurt you . in fact , i think we had some pretty good times . bonnie : well , i should 've known something was n't right . justin : well , why did n't you say anything to me ? bonnie : because i just thought she was off her game after breaking up with john . you bitch ! you really took me for a ride . justin : i still do n't understand why anjelica would go through all this trouble just to hurt you . hattie : seriously ? you 're ivy league ? you ca n't connect a few of those dots ? bonnie : justin ... anjelica hated me . i mean , she could never get over the fact that you chose me over her all those years ago . it 's just so hurtful that she would try to destroy me like that . justin : well , i 'm just grateful she did n't succeed . abigail : [ giggling ] sonny : okay , okay , okay , that 's enough . that 's enough . paul : yeah . yeah , yeah , yeah . nobody in here 's married yet . chad : no , we 're practicing . beat it . abigail : [ giggling ] what , are you guys gon na be this late to your wedding , huh ? chad : yeah , you know what ? maybe we should , uh -- we should flip a coin to see who gets married first . abigail : what is the deal with this flipping coins ? chad : shh ! sonny : i 'm not gon na flip a coin . but listen , before we talk to father louis , there is something i want to talk to the both of you about . chad : uh - oh . okay . sonny : we told gabi that we 're having a double wedding . and she asked about ari being our flower girl , so we told her that she would be yours as well . abigail : how -- how did she take it ? paul : uh , she was , uh -- she was a little thrown by it . sonny : at first , but the good news is that she 's okay with ari being a part of the wedding . chad : well , is she -- uh , is she still gon na come , or she 's -- she 's not coming anymore ? sonny : she said she 's gon na think about it . gabi : are you happy that your daddy asked you to be a flower girl at his wedding ? arianna : are you happy , mommy ? gabi : uh ... of course i am , sweetheart . of course . lucas : one damn drink and you 're gon na fire me ? you know all the losses i 've gone through lately . you know what i 've lost . i 've lost my son and adrienne . i - i ca n't lose this job too . i need this job . kate : okay . but it seems to me like you 're acting like all you need is one more drink . i know you 're hurt , and i know you 're heartbroken . but this is not the way to handle it . lucas , you need help . lucas : no , i need some empathy . i need some support , anything , but i guess that 's not you , is it ? that 's not in your wheelhouse , right ? kate : okay . how do you think will would feel if he were alive and he saw you right now ? lucas : did you actually just say that ? that actually came out of your mouth ? kate : oh , what ? what ? why , is that off - limits , to bring up your son , your son who loved you , your son who wanted the best for you ? because he would be appalled if he saw you drinking right now , lucas . lucas : mentioning my son in any other way but a loving , respectful way is off- limits , yes , because he 's gone ! how could you do that ? how could you try to make me feel guilty about my own son ? any person with a heart or a conscience would know that you do n't say that ! that 's off - limits ! kate : i 'm sorry . lucas : good ! good , i 'm glad you 're sorry , because now i really do need a drink . kate : lu -- [ cell phone rings ] yes , mr . shin . no , i - i - i know . i 'm going to get the figures to you . i 'm just gon na have to call you back . lucas ! i want the most out of my health and life . john : does n't make any sense . i mean , for adrienne to take part in a scheme designed to hurt so many people ? marlena : i agree . but what was she doing with hattie ? what other explanation could there possibly be ? john : you know , brady -- he said that adrienne was acting kind of strange ever since she moved back into the kiriakis mansion . maybe there 's ... something going on with her that no one realizes . hattie : anjie was just living to get back with you . oh , man , that torch she carried for you -- i 'm surprised she could even stand up straight . bonnie : well , that 's because justin 's such a warm and wonderful , loving man . justin : but why would she involve you ? hattie : i was her secret weapon . i mean , she could get rid of all the competition and never get her own little hands dirty , you know ? justin : anjelica must have known that i would never take her back . hattie : well , i do n't know . all i know is what she told me when we were in the trenches . bonnie : well , i think i have enough for my story . we should get going . justin : well , it sounds like you got to know anjelica pretty well . hattie : yeah . yeah , we were pretty close . may she rest in peace . justin : then maybe you can shed some light on how anjelica wound up dead in adrienne 's hotel room at the salem inn . eli : my superiors believe that i acted irresponsibly . abe : taking that shot at raines . but you saved gabi 's life . eli : the fbi does n't see it that way . besides , my boss has been jonesing to get rid of me for a while now , and i basically just handed him the perfect excuse . abe : look , can i ask you why he wants you gone ? eli : i have n't always followed the rules . that tends to rub the bureau the wrong way . abe : [ chuckles ] well , i hope you 're not planning on leaving town . that would be hard on your mother . eli : yeah . i do n't want to . i like it here . abe : you 're a damn good agent , eli . have you , uh , thought about working with the salem pd ? i could put in a good word . eli : that 'd be great . thanks . abe : i just have to find a commissioner . that is my first priority . gabi : all right , it 's really easy . you just grab a couple and you throw them in the air so that the bride knows where she 's got to walk , okay ? you try . throw them up . whoo ! perfect ! [ laughs ] okay , great . and so if you have a couple left over , just throw them up . lucas : hey . arianna : grandpa ! lucas : hey ! oh , easy ! easy there , arianna . how 's my , uh , sweet , sweet little baby granddaughter ? lucas : my sweet , sweet little baby granddaughter . just when i thought there was no one around who cared about me , there you are ! you know how much i love you ? i love you more than anything in this whole , whole wide world . gabi : hey , ari , sweetheart , why do n't you come over here ? lucas : no , no , no , no . she 's fine . she 's fine , really . hey , guess what . grandpa lucas does n't have a job anymore , so that means we get to spend more time together . and you know what we could do ? we could have a -- a sleepover at my place . what do you say ? arianna : yeah ! gabi : ari -- lucas : yay , let 's do it ! it 's gon na be so fun ! gabi : lucas , i 'm sorry . she can't . um , she can't . ari , listen , will you just -- will you go pick up the flowers that we were practicing ? thank you . lucas : listen , she 's my granddaughter . you know , i should be able to see her . gabi : i know . but just not -- not like this , okay ? not when you 're drunk . lucas : what are you talking about ? i 'm not drunk . i 'm fine . gabi : no . no , you 're not -- you 're not fine . and anyway , she 's gon na stay over the night at sonny 's , so you can't . lucas : well , i 'll give him a call . i 'll talk to sonny , and we 'll just flip -- flip the plans around a little bit . gabi : no , you ca n't call him , because he 's planning a wedding , okay ? and i think that he 's not gon na want you around her drinking anyway , so why do n't you just -- why do n't you go home , okay ? and you need to rest . just rest . lucas : why do n't you quit telling me what to do ? you and sonny , you ... make me sick . you ca n't stop me from seeing my granddaughter . gabi : lucas . john : doc , let me ask you this . what possible motive would adrienne have to team up with hattie ? marlena : or how would they even know each other unless ... john : go on . unless what ? marlena : adrienne 's been through so much -- i mean , battling cancer and -- and worrying so much about sonny . maybe she 's experiencing some kind of ptsd . no . no , no , that does n't sound right . does n't sound like adrienne . if she had a -- had a problem psychologically , she would -- she would deal with . she would find some kind of help . she would n't go off the deep end and start scheming with hattie adams . john : no . totally out of character . marlena : yeah . i ca n't shake the feeling that i 'm right here . i think -- i think adrienne has got something to do with all this . hattie : why did anjelica end up dead ... in adrienne 's room ? uh ... uh ... hey , i do n't know . i 'm just the hired help . justin : okay . of course . how would you know ? ready to go ? bonnie : actually , i 'd like a moment alone with hattie . justin : why ? she told us everything she knows about anjelica . bonnie : i need some closure . and i 'm obviously not gon na get it with anjelica . justin : adrienne , i do n't know how i feel about leaving you alone with her . bonnie : justin , i 'll be fine . there 's a cop right outside . she ca n't hurt me anymore . i need to speak with her woman - to - woman . justin : okay . if this is something you really feel like you need to do ... bonnie : oh , it is . justin : okay . i 'll be right outside . bonnie : thank you . hattie , thank you , thank you , thank you . hattie : jeez , you 're choking me here . bonnie : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i just -- i just thought you were gon na give me up back there . hattie : well ... i thought i was too for a second . then i saw you like that , just twisting in the wind , and ... i do n't know . maybe i do have a little soft spot for you . and i just figured , ah , what the hell ? one of us has a right to be happy , huh ? bonnie : oh , my god . oh , my god , you are the best . you are the best . hattie : i know . i know . [ both laugh ] and the thing is ... i think i 'm needing a favor from you . bonnie : what kind of favor ? chad : wait , so how come father louis is n't asking you guys about changing your last names ? paul : why would he ? chad : he asked her . sonny : what , you do n't want the internationally known - in - business kiriakis name ? paul : what 's wrong with the internationally known - in - baseball narita name ? chad : ooh . hey , you got a coin ? abigail : uh - uh , i do n't have one . chad : we 're gon na flip for it ! paul : we 're not flipping coins . listen , hold the thought , though . i got to -- i got to go to a meeting with jj for the tux fitting . chad : yes , and we 're going to your place for ours , yeah ? sonny : yes . chad : yeah . lucas : there he is . i want to have a talk to you , mr . sonny kiriakis ! sonny : whoa , lucas . lucas : what , you think you and gabi can keep me away from my granddaughter ? really ? you better start lifting some weights , buddy , 'cause that ai n't gon na happen ! not now , not ever . sonny : lucas , i - i think you better have a seat . come on . lucas : i 'm not sitting anywhere , man . i 'm staying right here . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na take care of this right here , right now . abigail : look , uncle lucas , let me just take you home , okay ? lucas : i do n't need to go home . i 'm staying in this church . this is where i belong . this is where i could tell the truth in the presence of god so i could tell sonny that i have rights . i have rights , man ! you know gabi accused me of being drunk ? she accused me of being a drunk ! sonny : i 'm sure she did n't put it that way , lucas . all right , but it 's obvious that you have been drinking . lucas : really ? it 's obvious ? who 's it obvious to ? who 's it obvious to , huh ? sonny : it 's obvious to anyone who -- we can tell that you 've been drinking . lucas : oh , you are so clever , are n't you ? [ mockingly ] `` it 's obvious to anyone . we can tell you 've been drinking . `` blah , blah , blah . you make me sick , man ! you make me sick , you damn traitor ! sonny : whoa , hey , look , i know that you 're hurting 'cause my mom just ended it with you . but you 're not gon na spend another minute with my daughter until you sober up . lucas : oh , now she 's your daughter ? she 's not your daughter , you idiot ! she 's will 's daughter , will 's ! and you have no right keeping me from her , especially after the way you abandoned my son ! paul : okay , lucas , sonny did not abandon will . lucas : said the sanctimonious son of a bitch who split up my son 's marriage . chad : lucas . lucas : you have nothing to do with this , man . this is between sonny and me , right ? it 's between me and the coward , the coward who backs away . you cop out . you back away when things get tough . sonny : hey , why do n't you relax ? lucas : yeah , like mother , like son , right ? chad : lucas , that 's enough ! lucas : like mother , like son . you know , if you would have stuck around just once , just a little bit , maybe my son would still be alive right now ! maybe ! gabi : no , listen , you can not stay with lucas . you 're staying with your dad tonight . arianna horton , mirame ! arianna . eli : looks like you could use a hand . [ soft dramatic music ] abe : i ca n't believe what you two have been through -- locked up at bayview , hattie adams running around salem impersonating you . marlena : [ laughs ] thank god that 's over , huh ? abe : well , i give you my word , she will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law . john : good job . marlena : thank you , abe . abe : i got to get back to the station . john : all right , partner . abe : see you later ? marlena : mm - hmm . john : good job , man . abe : thank you . john : come on , i 'm surprised you did n't tell abe about your suspicions . marlena : well , i did n't want to jump to any conclusions . i mean , i would like to talk to adrienne before i do anything . justin : so how did it go with hattie ? did you tear into her ? bonnie : i did n't have the heart to . you know , in a way , hattie was one of anjelica 's victims too . justin : i guess that 's true . bonnie : so i was wondering if maybe you would reconsider representing her . justin : [ laughs ] i thought you did n't want me anywhere near her case . bonnie : you know , after talking to her just now , justin , she 's a lost soul , so lonely and miserable . i can see how easy it was for anjelica to take advantage of her . please ? justin : adrienne ... bonnie : for me ? justin : why can i never say no to you or your big , beautiful heart ? bonnie : then you 'll do it ? justin : i 'll go talk to hattie . i 'll see you at home . bonnie : okay . dodged that freaking bullet again . [ exhales deeply ] ( birds chirping . ) ( river flowing . ) eli : bad day ? gabi : not as bad as yours . did you ever find out why you got fired ? eli : uh , internal politics . anyways , i would much rather hear about your day . gabi : okay , well , my day started with learning that my daughter would be abigail and chad 's flower girl . and then i had to figure out a way to tell her that she ca n't spend time with her grandfather until he sobers up . and someone 's not very happy about that . eli : i see . well , sounds to me like everyone here could use some ... ice cream . gabi : [ laughing ] what ? eli : yeah ? gabi : oh , no . kate : hey , have you seen lucas ? bonnie : no , why would i ? kate : well , he 's a little hard to miss , stumbling around town three sheets to the wind , thanks to you . bonnie : hold on a second . it 's not -- kate : no . no . you hold on a second . adrienne , you abandoned him without any warning and in the cruelest way possible . bonnie : i did n't mean to hurt him . kate : no -- you did n't mean to ? okay , so is that the same way you did n't mean to let justin interrupt your wedding to lucas ? oh , is it the same way that you did n't mean to take so long to decide between the two of them because you could n't make up your mind ? bonnie : do you think it was easy being caught between the two of them ? kate : well , apparently not , since just when you finish swearing your love and devotion to lucas , you take off after justin . how could you be so heartless ? bonnie : i am not heartless . i care about lucas . kate : do n't say that to me . do n't say that you care about him , because you do n't care about him , all right ? you care about yourself . bonnie : you have no idea what i 've been through the past few months . kate : that 's what you 're going to do ? you 're going to blame your behavior on the cancer ? because i was with you during your cancer treatment , and you were a brave woman and you were a strong woman , and that 's the woman that i admired . that 's the woman who became my friend , and that 's not you anymore . you 're callous and you 're mean - spirited , and i do n't know how the hell that happened . bonnie : look , i was just trying to be honest with lucas about how i felt . kate : you were n't honest with him , adrienne . you were cruel and you were selfish . and now he 's drinking again . bonnie : so talk to him , kate . you 're his mother . show him that he needs to stop . kate : okay , i ca n't talk to him because i had to fire him , and now he 's angry at me too . bonnie : what ? you -- you fired him from a job he loves after everything he lost ? kate : yeah , i did , because it 's the best thing for him and the company . bonnie : are you kidding me right now ? the company ? who cares about your brokenhearted son ? i 'm not the cruel one here , kate . you are . kate : you wait . if anything happens to him , i hold you responsible . abigail : uncle lucas ? let 's just go , okay ? and we can find you a meeting , please . lucas : i 'm not going to any more meetings . abigail , i have been to every single meeting in this town . i 'm not doing it again . they 're all the same . get out of my way ! chad : you know what , lucas ? she 's doing her best to help you . lucas : really ? chad : just stop . lucas : she 's trying to help me ? how is she gon na help me , chad ? how is she gon na do that ? you kids have no idea . you 're planning your double wedding like it 's some kind of prom night . you do n't know what you 're doing . you think you can just slap a ring on somebody 's finger and seal it with a kiss ? does n't work that way , man . life does n't work that way . i got news for you . look at all you , staring at me . standing around doing nothing , like you did when -- when justin came in and broke up my wedding . no one ever did anything about that , did they ? sonny : is that what this is about ? is this payback ? lucas : i would n't waste my time with that . but you 're about to , are n't you ? sonny : excuse me ? lucas : you 're about to waste your time , right ? you 're about to get married . do the math . do the math ! 50 % of all marriages fail . they end up in divorce . the second time around , number 's even bigger than that . and you 're halfway there , buddy . congratulations . pretty much assures that at least one of these marriages is gon na -- is gon na fail . it 's gon na crash and burn ! hey allergy muddlers chad : let 's go . he 's drunk . he does n't know what he 's saying . lucas : i do n't know what i 'm saying ?

justin : your honor , can you instruct the witness again to answer my question ? marge : you 're trying to make it look like joe was a dirty cop , and he was n't . you know it . i know it . everybody who 's ever known him knows it ! he was a hero ! and those two over there have done nothing ... justin : your honor . judge sims : mrs. bernardi . marge : he 's a dimera ! he 's a dimera , and his father 's the biggest crook in town , and has been for years ! justin : objection . marge : it 's true ! everyone in this room knows that it 's true ! judge sims : mrs. bernardi . you will refrain from making outbursts in my court and answer mr. kiriakis 's question . or i will have no choice but to have you remanded to custody . justin : mrs. bernardi . do you know where the money in your son 's bank account came from ? marge : you ca n't do this . justin : [ forcefully ] i repeat , do you know where the money -- marge : no , i do n't know where the money came from ! but it was n't my husband 's ! he did not put it there . he was a cop , and he was clean . and i did n't just have a hundred thousand dollars lying around . justin : well , then how do you account for it ? marge : someone else must have put the money there . but it was n't joe . it was not joe . justin : who else had access to your account besides you , your husband , and your son . marge : [ whispering ] no one . justin : no one ? marge : no one ! but he is a dimera ! and they can get away with whatever they want ! somehow they got access to that account . justin : mrs. bernardi , i know you 'd like to believe that . marge : i do believe it , because it is the only explanation that makes any sense ! the doctor hoysyselin it . kayla : chad , you need to calm down and listen to me . cha no , you need to listen to me . cameron had no right discussing my illness with you , okay ? it 's a breach of doctor - patient confidentiality , and i may just have that bastard sued . kayla : you are completely overreacting . i was on duty the day that he got your ct scan results . i consulted on your case . i am his chief of staff . we do that every day , all day . chad : okay , okay . but there is no reason for you or cameron to consult about me anymore , okay ? i have a new doctor now . kayla : yes , i know . and i know that you 're not telling cameron what the name of the new doctor is . chad : because it 's none of his business . kayla : why would n't you want the doctor who diagnosed you to consult with your specialist ? chad : because cameron is all up in my business , and i do n't want him asking too many questions . kayla : he is concerned about you , and so am i . chad : okay , well , there 's no reason for you to be concerned about me anymore , all right ? i am fine . and , yes , i have a brain tumor . but i also have the best doctor dimera money can buy right now . i do n't want anyone else to know about this . kayla : not even abigail ? chad : especially not abigail . abigail : okay , mom ... what if this tough - love thing backfires ? what if something really bad happens to jj , and we never even see him again ? jennifer : what are you -- do n't say that , abigail ! abigail : but , mom , it 's possible ! i lost my father . i do n't wan na lose my brother too . jennifer : [ sighs ] jj : you wo n't even know that i 'm there . and i know that bo 's out of town , so i could really help you out at the house , you know ? and i do n't -- i do n't eat a lot . okay , yeah . [ laughs ] that was a lie . but i 'll try not to clean out your refrigerator , i promise . hope : [ laughs ] jj : and i would love to spend some more time with you and ciara . she 's just so unbelievably cute . what ? you do n't like the idea ? hope : oh , i ... i would love to help you out . jj : all right . hope : but you need to go home . oh , and before you get on the horn to all of the other hortons and johnsons in town and tell all of them that , oh , you 'd like to get to know them better , and that you 'll help out around the house , and that -- whatever else yolson gon na come up with , let me assure you , they 'll react exactly as i have . jj : mm , you mean my mom got a hold of them ... hope : jj , listen up . the charges against you are very serious . do you not understand that ? and as a cop , i have seen up close where that path can lead , and it 's not warm and fuzzy . so stop being a jerk before you end up behind bars for the rest of your life . okay ? okay ? hey , we 're family . but i 'm also a cop . and i 'll be watching you . actually , the entire force will be watching you . rory : dude , i 'm sorry , that was brutal . [ cell phone rings ] jj : i 'm not coming home , abigail . abigail : jj , i need to talk to you in person . jj : fine , but only you can come . no mom . judge sims : mrs. bernardi . i need you to stop speculating and answer the questions that are asked of you . mr. kiriakis . justin : nothing further , your honor . judge sims : ms. trask ? melinda : i have no further questions for this witness , your honor . judge sims : you may step down , mrs. bernardi . marge : you have to believe me , please ! judge sims : mrs. bernardi . marge : joe was a good man , and he was a clean cop ! judge sims : bailiff , remove the witness immediately . marge : he 's been set up ! how can you do this to us ! [ sobbing ] he 's dead . my husband 's dead ! judge sims : bailiff , move ! marge : and you wan na make it worse for me and my little boy for the rest of our lives ? she killed his father ! judge sims : bailiff ! marge : she killed his father ! judge sims : i can grant a 15-minute recess . justin : the defense would like to proceed if the court will allow . judge sims : call the prosecution 's next witness , ms . trask . melinda : the state calls adrienne kiriakis . ej : did you know about this ? justin : well , i knew that she would be called , but i did n't think it would happen today . but trask is nervous now that the money thing is out there . sami : god , i hated seeing her like that . ej : she had to find out that her husband was dirty sooner or later , and it 's a lot better for us that it happened on the stand . samantha , we have nothing to regret or feel guilty about . nothing . melinda : please state your name for the court . adrienne : adrienne kiriakis . melinda : and you are married to the defendant 's attorney ? adrienne : yes . melinda : you are the person who provided the video of ms . brady attacking detective bernardi prior to his death , is n't that right ? adrienne : yes , i felt -- melinda : you were also the person who provided police with the tip to look into the bank account of the deceased 's son , timothy bernardi , were you not ? adrienne : yes , i -- melinda : can you tell the court , mrs. kiriakis , how you came to know that there was over $ 100,000 in joe bernardi 's son 's bank account ? ej : what can you do ? justin : nothing yet . adrienne : i ran into marge and her son timmy as they were coming out of the bank . and timmy dropped his passbook , and i bent down to help him pick it up , and i noticed the balance on the receipt . melinda : ah . what an extraordinary coincidence , yes ? justin : objection , your honor . judge sims : sustained . melinda : so did you know that mrs. bernardi and her son were coming from the bank when you ran into them ? adrienne : no . melinda : so it was a coincidence . adrienne : yes . melinda : hmm . and coincidentally timmy just dropped his bank passbook at your feet , and you just happened to see the balance ? adrienne : i believe that 's what i just said , ms . trask . melinda : you see nothing unusual about this ? adrienne : i do n't understand where you 're going with this . melinda : well , i 'll explain it then . you see , mrs. kiriakis , it seems to me that a series of amazing coincidences befell you , the defense attorney 's wife . justin : objection . leading the witness . judge sims : sustained . i think you 've gone far enough , ms . trask . melinda : no further questions , your honor . chad : all right , look . abigail and i just got back together . i do n't wan na ruin what we have by talking about depressing things , okay ? i do n't want her pity . kayla : you know , i understand that . but you would n't get that with abigail . she is a kind and caring person , and she would help you through this . chad : still , she 's been through a lot . losing her dad , now this stuff with her brother . this is the last thing she needs right now . kayla : it 's reality . life throws up some curves . and you know what ? keeping secrets , especially something as serious as this , it 's really no way to start a relationship . chad : okay . well , i 'm in treatment . and i 'm gon na beat this damn thing . and then , when it 's over , i 'll have spared abigail from ever having to worry about me . kayla : oof . chad : now , now , look , i - i care about her . a lot . i would never hurt her . so please trust me on this . and do n't say anything to her , okay ? not a word . abigail : [ sighs ] can we talk alone ? rory : sure . [ grunts ] we 'll go get some smoothies or something . do you want one ? abigail : no , i 'm good , thanks . rory : cool . bev : you are so not cool . rory : [ laughing ] whatever . abigail : jj , please come home . jj : wow . no warm up ? abigail : moving out is -- is a mistake . this is crazy . jj : no , mom is crazy . abigail : hey , do n't talk like that . mom is an amazing person . and she always will be . jj , she loves you so much . sure , she 's angry , but that does n't mean that she does n't care about you . i was just with her . i 'm telling you , i saw the look on her face . she 's worried sick about you . jj : well , maybe mom should have thought about that before she started playing prison guard . abigail : jj , i need to tell you something , and i want you to hear me . when you were in london , i messed up pretty big . i ... did some awful things that i am not proud of . but mom forgave me . and so did dad . because i took responsibility , and we worked through it together . and you have to do the same thing . you ca n't just run away from your mistakes . mom 's being tough on you right now , because she feels like she has to . but i am telling you , jj , that this is breaking her heart . and it 's breaking mine too . so , please , just come home , and we can work on being a family . if not for mom , will you do it for me ? ej : thank you for your cooperation , mrs. kiriakis . i 'll be cross - examining you myself today , due to the personal nature of your relationship with the defense attorney . adrienne : i understand . ej : now you have previously stated that you provided the defense with the video showing ms . brady attacking detective bernardi ? adrienne : yes . ej : and at the time that you presented this video to the state , had ms . brady been charged with first degree murder ? adrienne : the charges had already been dropped . ej : so it is when you presented this evidence to the prosecution that ms . brady was charged for a second time ? melinda : objection . the prosecution stipulates -- ej : the prosecution has made every attempt to portray the witness as colluding with the defense , when , in fact , we would not be here in this courtroom today , were it not for mrs. kiriakis . is that not correct ? judge sims : you 've both made your point regarding the witness . anything more ? ej : no more questions , your honor . judge sims : you 're dismissed . your next witness , ms . trask . melinda : the state calls edward craig . ej : your honor , we have no record of this witness . melinda : your honor , edward craig is with the fbi . and the defense opened themselves up to this questioning by accusing detective bernardi of corruption and wrongdoing within the police department . judge sims : i 'll allow it . sami : [ whispering ] what does that mean ? what is going on ? justin : i think we 've been set up . abigail : jj , i know that you are really upset . and i know that you 're feeling betrayed , but -- but hanging out with your loser friends is n't the answer . jj : at least my friends want me around . mom , does n't . abigail : god , jj . what happened to you ? when did you turn into this selfish , cold - hearted person ? jj : that 's it . abigail : n - no , no ! it 's not it . you 're gon na listen to me , jj , and you 're gon na listen well . you got expelled from school for dealing drugs , and then you lied about it . and you came home , and you got arrested for doing the exact same thing . so you tell me , how did you think this would go ? you thought that mom would just say , `` welcome home , jj . can i make you a sandwich ? `` jj : i thought that she would try to understand me , ab -- abigail : she did try , jj ! she tried for months and months and months . she tried with every cell of her being ! but you did nothing but disrespect her ! you lied to her face , jj , over and over and over again . you made her life miserable ! and instead of saying you were sorry and correcting your behavior , you just continued to do more dumb , destructive things ! jj : you know what was dumb ? me agreeing to talk to you . [ grunts ] abigail : you know what was even more dumb , jj ? me thinking that i could actually get through to you ! so go ahead , jj . run along ! you go play with your juvenile friends who love you so much more than we do . i am officially giving up . jj : good . abigail : you know what ? i get it now , jj . let me tell you something . i loved dad a lot . just as much as i love you ! but dad ... he was always making excuses for taking off , for abandoning his family . and now , jj ... you are doing the exact same thing . you are your father 's son . you are just like him ! hope : shawn - douglas turned out fine , and so will jj . jennifer : yeah . do you think that i 'm handling this whole thing right ? hope : i do . i do . jennifer : 'cause abigail , you know , she thinks this whole , um ... she 's worried this tough - love thing is gon na backfire and ... i mean , i 'm just worried 'cause i have n't heard from him . so i 'm thinking , you know , maybe i should just call him or ... i do n't know . bev : here you go . hot chocolate . jj : i thought you guys got smoothies . rory : naw , too cold , man . what , you did n't notice ? bev : yeah , temperature dropped , like , 20 degrees . looks like it 's gon na rain too . jj : perfect . melinda : please state your name and occupation for the court , mr. craig . edward : edward craig . i 'm a computer forensics expert for the federal bureau of investigation and head up that division . melinda : and your team was brought in to research the $ 100,000 deposit into timothy bernardi 's bank account , is that correct ? edward : yes . melinda : specifically , you were brought in to determine if there was computer fraud involved . edward : that 's right . melinda : and what did you determine , mr. craig , after your investigation ? edward : our initial tests came back clean . everything seemed to be above board . but we kept digging . melinda : oh , why were you so persistent ? edward : because the people who had access to the account , had no idea how the money got there . and eventually , we found discrepancies in the bank 's computer system . melinda : what kind of discrepancies ? edward : it had been hacked . prior to august 22nd . melinda : of this year ? edward : yes , of this year . prior to that date , the account had $ 23.47 in it . melinda : $ 23.47 ? edward : yes . melinda : once again , this is timothy bernardi 's bank account ? edward : yes . melinda : well -- but i do n't understand . our records show regular transactions . regular transactions -- deposits of large sums of money -- on several occasions . the largest deposit coming the day before detective bernardi was murdered . edward : those deposits never happened . melinda : i 'm sorry ? edward : they never happened . the $ 100,000 was a lump - sum deposit on august 22nd . melinda : well , that 's very curious . because detective bernardi was killed on june 11th . jennifer : no . i 'm not calling him . he has to know that i 'm not gon na back down , that he has to follow my rules . hope : that 's right . i agree with you . jennifer : it 's just so hard , 'cause it 's ... times like this i miss jack the most . hope : i know . it 's very tough being a single parent and having to make all ... the decisions on your own . but you have an incredible support group and so many people that love you . you know i love you . jennifer : [ laughs , sniffles ] hope : and maggie and daniel and abigail and -- jennifer : it 's so hard . i ca n't even ... lean on daniel right now , for so many reasons . [ door opens ] jj . [ light , running footfall ] hope : hey , uh , i got ta get going , okay ? jj , it 's good to see you , honey . jennifer : i 'm really glad you came back . maybe we can sit down and talk this whole thing out . jj : i did n't come to talk . i came to get my jacket . chad : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] abigail : chad , i - i 'm sorry , i should have called first . chad : no , no . it -- you 're fine . just unpacking some boxes . come in . abigail : wow , your place looks great . chad : you 're upset ? abigail : my brother . chad : okay , um , they -- they denied his bail ? abigail : no , no . he 's out . but he is making all kinds of stupid decisions and ... chad . he is tearing my family apart . chad : all right . jj : oh , my god , mom . there 's no drugs in there . mom ! jennifer : jj , i think you know why your word is n't enough , okay ? jj : can i have my jacket ? or do you want me to freeze to death while i 'm living on the street ? [ sighs ] jennifer : j -- wait , jj . i owe you an apology . melinda : so given the date of the deposit , it would have been impossible for detective bernardi to put that money in his son 's account . since he was dead . interestingly enough , the defendant was charged on july 22nd . and the deposit was made after that date . justin : objection . melinda : i have the date right , do n't i ? edward : yes . melinda : and were you able to determine the source of the funds ? edward : my team traced it to an offshore account in the cayman islands . melinda : the caymans ? edward : yes . melinda : in your experience , mr. craig , who generally has the ability to pull off such a complicated business transaction ? edward : in my experience , the people who have the means to hire the very best hackers in the world . melinda : `` the means . `` edward : unlimited means . jennifer : i should have brought you home . after your father died . but , jj , i honestly thought that it made sense not to disrupt your life . that was a really bad call on my part . you needed to be with me and abigail . and then , once i got you home , i needed to pay more attention to you to -- to see how you were doing . jj : what are you getting at , mom ? jennifer : i just wan na own up to my mistakes , because there were a lot of them . and i 'm just asking you to own up to yours . jj : [ scoffs ] so -- so nothing 's different . you 're still being impossible . chad : look , um , i 'm so sorry this stuff with your mom and your brother is so hard . i wish there was something i could do to help you . abigail : you are . you are helping . just by ... being here for me . chad : always . abigail : i do n't know what i would do without you , chad dimera . chad : well , you do n't have to worry about that . because i would never leave you . jennifer : [ sighs ] here . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] what happened , jj , to my sweet little boy ? did time apart really change you that much ? 'cause , you know , we used to be so close . we had this crazy bond , remember ? and i think it was because you were my miracle baby . you know the doctors said you were never gon na make it . and i did n't believe them , because i knew ... that this little baby inside me was so strong , and that he was gon na survive , and he was gon na grow up to be someone very , very special . jj : [ sniffles ] jennifer : and i was right . i did n't give up on you then , and i am not gon na give up on you now . [ voice breaks ] because i am your mother . and i love you unconditionally , and that is never gon na change . and because i 'm your mother , i 'm not gon na let you destroy your life . so maybe you think i 'm being unreasonable or maybe you think i 'm being mean , but i 'm trying to help you , jj . please , i am begging you , do n't walk out that door . please just stay here with me , and let 's rebuild that bond that we had , okay ? let me help you get your life back on track , please . justin : objection , your honor . judge sims : sustained . ms. trask ? melinda : nothing further , your honor . judge sims : mr. kiriakis ? justin : uh , the defense has no questions at this time . but we do reserve the right to call this witness back to testify . judge sims : witness is dismissed for now .

[ clears throat ] poor jj . those got sent to paige by mistake . eve : [ chuckles ] that 's what you get for drinking and texting . good work , jill . jill : your approval means everything to me . eve : although i must say i 'm a little disappointed in jj . i mean , but it 's a typical male , right ? give them a couple of cocktails , and they 're all over the next available girl . jill : well , i mean , the truth is -- eve : i knew that my daughter could not trust this boy . [ chuckles ] jill : well , i 'm not so sure about that . we had to move away from the original plan ... improvise a bit . eve : what do you mean ? jill : he would n't take a drink . he never took his eyes off paige , and he would n't even ... lay a hand on me . so i had to give him a little extra ... push . eve : well , what did you do exactly , then ? jill : he 'll be fine ... [ clears throat ] even if he does n't remember much . he certainly wo n't be able to explain his way out of this one . so ... [ clears throat ] mission accomplished . i have a bus to catch . and since i held up my end of the bargain , it is time for you to pony up . mary beth : i mean , how locker room is that ? bragging about hooking up with -- paige : stop it , all right ? mary beth : sorry . but at least now you know the type of guy he is , so you can dump his ass and get with someone who is n't such a loser . paige : thanks for stopping . thanks for covering up the fact that you 're thrilled and that it does n't really matter that this is killing me . i guess the party was more fun than you thought . mary beth : i 'm sorry . where are you going ? paige : to find jj . i need to know what 's going on . daniel : thank god i was there and your mother did n't see you . damn it , jj , after everything you 've been through , i thought you learned your lesson . jj : i did n't do anything . i only had , like , one little sip of a beer , and i stopped because paige made me see how stupid it was . so then from then on , all i drank was soda . daniel : i saw you staggering home . i saw it . you had something besides soda , come on . jj : i do n't know , all right ? it 's all a blank . but i do know that i was not drinking . i must have been drugged . daniel : hey , hey , hey , do n't lie to me . if you took something , just tell me . tell me what it was . jj : no , i - i did n't . i would not do that , daniel . daniel : okay , so you think somebody drugged you ? jj : [ scoffs ] maybe not on purpose . but there were a lot of drugs at the party , and maybe i drank out of someone else 's cup or something . daniel , will you please believe me ? i swore off drugs a long time ago , and i meant it . i saw how much i hurt mom and abigail , and i will not put them through that again . daniel : i believe you . jj : thank you . i just -- i know -- i know i 've given you a lot of reasons not to . daniel : okay , well , let 's get you to the hospital . if you were drugged , we need to know what 's in your system . jj : well , whatever it is , it sucks because i do n't remember having any fun , and i feel like crap right now . i ca n't because my record just got expunged , and if i test positive for drugs -- daniel : okay , do n't worry about it . do n't worry about it . we 'll do this on the q.t . do n't worry . jj : thank you . and do n't call mom or paige , okay ? i do n't want them to know ... yet . i just -- i just want to get this figured out , figure out what happened , and i - i just do n't want them to worry . daniel : all right , let 's go . jj : [ coughs ] daniel : [ sighs ] [ knock at door ] mary beth : you were so right . all i had to do was get paige away from jj for a little while , and he inevitably got in trouble at that party . you know , we are so lucky that he was so drunk and/or stupid to send those skanky photos to paige . eve : yeah , we were lucky , and you know what , mary beth ? you really need to go , because paige does not need to know that we even talked about this . otherwise she 's going to think that we conspired against her , honey . mary beth : well , we kind of did . i mean , you told me to fake an injury , and i even got my arm x - rayed . eve : and you know what ? i appreciate that so much , and you have been such a dear friend to her . come on . but remember , now , you can not tell her any of this , okay ? mary beth : no . eve : okay , okay , honey . thank you . okay . oh ! [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] sweetheart , i know that this is going to hurt so much , but in the long run , it 's for your own good . paige : where did everyone go ? what happened to the party ? abe : i - i had to break it up . and there were arrests for underage drinking and drug use . paige : jj was here . was he -- did -- did you have to -- abe : no , jj was n't here . i have n't seen him . are you okay ? you seem upset . paige : i 'm just anxious to find jj . he and i have a lot to talk about .

[ crying ] i stand outside , and i stare up at your window , wondering how you 're doing and what you 're thinking , and it 's killing me that you 're shutting me out . i , uh ... i saw that you 're selling your photos online . can you at least tell me about that ? eric : what do you want me to tell you ... that i ca n't be a priest anymore because of you , that my job at the hospital is ending and i have to find a new way to make a living ? nicole : well , how 's -- how 's that going ? eric : oh , splendidly . i can almost pay my rent , which is for free . nicole : well , maybe if you put some of your black - and - white photos up , that might -- eric : how do you know i have n't ? wow . you 've been to my site . dear lord , please do n't tell me you 've made a few purchases . aiden : i told you that i have feelings for you . you made it quite clear that they were not reciprocal , so i -- hope : can i talk ? please , just ... aiden : yeah . hope : [ sighs ] okay , i have n't been completely honest with you or particularly honest with myself , for that matter , and you see , the thing is , is that -- i mean ... at times , i ... i have felt a certain attraction for you . but , i mean , it 's just so complicated . aiden : [ chuckles ] it is . look , it is . it is complicated , and you do n't have to explain . you love your husband , okay ? and whatever it is that you feel for me ... is damn insignificant in comparison to that . hope , i get it . hope : no . no , you do n't get it . it 's ... no , you do n't get it at all . [ door unlocking , opens ] eve : honey , i was n't expecting you back so soon . how was the party ? paige : [ sniffles ] jj : i do n't -- i do n't understand , 'cause i do n't remember that at all . daniel : well , uh , there 's a reason for that . tests came back , and there 's some evidence of a very potent drug in your system . jj : all right , look , look , but , daniel , even if i was completely gone , i - i - i would n't have cheated on paige . i would n't have hurt her like that . daniel : well , drugs can make you do things that are n't really , uh , normal . jj : it -- it -- i do n't know , okay , because there seems like there 's something wrong about this . i mean , instead of sending the pictures to rory , which i would n't have done in the first place , i sent them to paige ? does that seem like some kind of a weird coincidence ? daniel : okay , so you think ... jj : i think that maybe it was n't a mistake that i got someone else 's drink . maybe i was deliberately drugged . what if i was set up ? ben : was that your ex ? abigail : yeah . ben : yeah . he seems like a real jerk . abigail : he 's not . ben : well , he acted like a jerk . what did he say that got you so upset ? abigail : he just -- he -- he , like , just lashed out and , um ... i really hurt him , ben . ben : so he 's a fragile jerk ? that 's the last time he ever talks to you like that . you have my word on that . abigail : it 's not going to happen again . he just ... just needed to get it out of his system . ben : that 's a really nice way to put it . look , i know we were supposed to go out tonight , but do you want to reschedule ? abigail : would you mind ? i 'm sorry . i - i just -- i do n't think i would be that much fun tonight . ben : i will walk you home , okay ? we have plenty of other nights . abigail : yeah . ben : come on . nicole : yes , i bought a photo off your website -- sue me . eric : do n't do it again . nicole : why ? what is so wrong about it ? eric : because any connection between us is wrong . i hate it ! i hate you . nicole : fine . i wo n't do it again . but i 'm keeping the one i bought and all the other photos you gave me . you know why ? because it 's all i have left of us .

[ sighs ] paul : [ sighs ] so you remember what happened when will and sonny and derrick and i went out together ? marlena : oh , yeah . those drunks with their gay slurs -- how could i ever forget that ? paul : yeah . well people called me names when i was pitching . you know , if i gave up a home run or something , it 'd just roll off my back , but , i mean , i was n't ready for the kind of hatred that i felt that night . marlena : how could you be ? i 'm so sorry that happened . paul : no . it get 's better , i know , but , i do n't know -- it just makes me wonder why i put myself in that kind of spotlight ? marlena : you did it for the kids . so they could start to feel good about themselves , about who they are ? paul : yeah , i tried telling myself that , but it was a hard sell . [ chuckles ] i do n't know . i just wish i had a friend talk me down . marlena : i know who you can call 24/7 . your father . john : so the agency thinks this contact might really have a lead ? mm - hmm . mm- hmm . well , that sounds like a start . yeah , yeah , i definitely want his number . do you have it ? aiden : i can tell you 're really worried about chad , but i 'm gon na do everything i can to prove he 's exactly the man you think he is . ciara : really ? aiden : really . ciara : great , but i still think you should stay away from mr. dimera . kayla : it was you ? aiden : ah , hey , ladies . kayla : one of my nurses said that somebody was in stefano 's room drilling him . i never thought it would be you . ciara : he 's chad 's lawyer . kayla : stefano is n't allowed any visitors . aiden : yeah , well i thought it 'd be a comfort to him to let him know that i 'm doing everything i can to help his son , which is my job . kayla : well my job is to make sure that my patient does n't have another coronary , so please stay out of his room , all right ? come on , you guys . let 's get you cleared for soccer , okay ? here you go . aiden : all right . hope : i think you 're in trouble . aiden : i think you 're right . abigail : no . no , there is no way i am letting you do this . steve : hey , joe . joey : hey . steve : you 're looking a little down , son . what 's up ? joey : first day at the new school . steve : mm . well it 's not so new , is it ? some of your old buddies might be still there . joey : i do n't know if you could call them buddies anymore . steve : yeah . listen , i know it 's hard for you coming back here . it 's hard for me too . joey : yeah ? steve : yeah . so , you know , if you need to talk . i 'm here . i 'd like to help you any way i can . joey : are you serious ? steve : of course i am . joey : does that mean you 're , like , actually gon na stick around for mom and me this time ? hope : so , did you get some answers from stefano ? aiden : no . no , no , no . he fell asleep while i was talking to him . hope : oh . aiden : so how 's working going for you ? hope : oh , my gosh . it is so fantabulous . aiden : yeah ? hope : so amazing having rafe back . we have a pretty heavy workload though . aiden : two murders in one week , i 'd say so . any new developments ? hope : nice try . aiden : why , what do you mean `` nice try `` ? that is no different than you trying to pump me for information about stef -- hope : excuse me , that 's not -- okay , no , you know what ? i was just kind of concerned for him , that 's all . aiden : concerned , really ? hope : mm - hmm . aiden : why , because you 're so fond of the guy ? [ chuckles ] no , but i will tell you one thing . it 's very weird to see him so weak and frail . hope : why would it be weird ? you 've never laid eyes on him before , have you ? chad : i do n't know what you think you 're doing , but you need to leave . abigail : do n't do that . i texted you when i heard about your dad and you did n't respond , so i had to come here to see you and -- [ sighs ] even though i just promised ben i would stay away from you . chad : you know , ben had the right idea . abigail : well i 'm glad that i 'm here . someone had to stop you from ruining your life . chad : excuse me ? abigail : what are you doing ? you 're taking off ? you 're running from the cops ? chad : what else can i do ? i was so drunk , i do n't remember what happened with serena and i was in the same condition when paige was killed . abigail : chad , there has to be someone who saw you when those murders happened . i mean , aiden , he can hire an investigator to find a witness . chad : he did ! the guy is n't coming up with anything . okay , now i know you do n't want to believe i could kill anyone . believe me , neither do i , but that does n't change the fact that serena and i got into an argument and people saw her slap me in the face right before she was murdered ! or that paige saw me following her out of the club that night ! or that a petal from a rare flower in my father 's garden was found right next to paige 's body . add all that up , plus the fact that i do n't have an alibi , abby . it does n't matter whether you or i believe i could kill anyone because i look like the guy who it . [ sighs ] i 'm all out of options , abby . abigail : maybe you 're not . paul : i mean , i thought about calling john too . marlena : and what stopped you ? paul : i 've dumped enough problems on him already and he hardly knows me . marlena : he feels like he 's known you for years . paul : what ? marlena : what ? this is a man who lives for the opening of baseball season . he 's always talking about , you know , fabulous games you pitched and your era ? [ both chuckle ] paul : yeah . marlena : sorry . paul : no , i mean -- well that paul narita 's history . all i talk to him about now is -- dealing with prejudice and losing endorsement deals . [ laughs ] marlena : sounds like you 're learning to live a whole new life . different kind of life . john knows a lot about that . paul : does he ? marlena : he had to face a lot of adversity in his life . paul : when he was my age ? marlena : no . younger . paul : well he must have had his parents to help him with that ? marlena : john did n't have the luxury of knowing his birth mother and father . paul : he never told me that . marlena : you should talk to him . please . would do you a lot of good and i promise you it would do him good as well . john : got your name from the isa . did you get my text ? it 's a digital image of an old newspaper article about a kid that drowned by the name of forrest alamain . yeah , great , great , look -- the reason i 'm calling is 'cause i 'm trying to track down the cop that investigated that case . can you help me out ? that 's what i wanted to hear . no , no , no , no , no -- you just keep right on digging . you find everything you can find out . aiden : ah , no , i 'd never met stefano dimera in my life , i just , um -- got a pretty vivid picture of him from chad and did n't square up with that old man i saw in the hospital bed , so -- hope : well do n't underestimate him . he has more lives than the proverbial cat . kayla : oh , hey . hope : there they are . aiden : hey . kayla : the only thing these two little rascals have is serious sweet tooth . here you go . it needs to be taken care of pronto . hope : hey , sweetheart . aiden : thank you so much . kayla : uh - huh . i 'll talk to you guys later . aiden : all righty . all right , so this `` sweet - toof . `` what 's the best way to remedy that , hmm ? maybe some ice cream ? ciara : that would help . aiden : yeah ? ciara : but what we really want to know is your secret , right chase ? chase : right . aiden : the s -- oh , well , we 'll talk about that a little later on , all right ? steve : yeah . well , sounds like you do n't have a whole lot of faith in me . joey : i mean , i give you credit for wanting to try again . but i think it 's a little late for the whole father - son bit . steve : no , man . it 's never too late . at least i hope not . and your sister 's all grown up , you 're not . so if you need to tell someone salem high sucks , you can talk to me . huh ? i can speak to your mom . if you want to be reinstated in that boarding school ? joey : that 's not what i want . steve : okay . well salem high it is , then . joey : looks like it . i do n't think the family 's exactly gon na throw a party . [ scoffs ] steve : why do you say that ? joey : well for one thing , aunt hope was trying to act really nice to me and i got in her face . told her she 's not family anymore because she divorced uncle bo . i do n't even know why i said that . steve : well , maybe because you 're 16 years old . bo is the one who left , so your aunt hope , you know , she waited . she waited a long , long time . and that aiden jennings dude came along and offered her something -- chance at a new life and she decided that 's what she wanted . joey : i do n't get it . why would uncle bo just split ? steve : the isa has all kinds of ways to make you want to come back in . joey : he 's part of the isa ? just like you were ? steve : yeah . and i know your mom thinks i went to work for them because i was bored with my life with her and you kids , but that 's just not true . there were other reasons . joey : like what ? steve : i ca n't get into that . so i 'll tell you what . next time you see your aunt hope , try apologizing to her . joey : yeah . steve : she 's a forgiving person and she loves you . joey : what about you ? think mom 's ever gon na forgive you ? kayla : 3 % . who let that happen ? [ clatters ] kayla : uh ... wow . hmm . [ knock on door ] kayla : uh , come in . hi ! joey : hi . um , i have to buy a bunch of supplies for chem lab . can i have some money ? kayla : uh , they make you buy your own supplies ? joey : budget cuts . kayla : oh , well , yeah . i hear that . well tell me how was school ? joey : it was okay . [ laughs ] how come you put that picture out again ? kayla : uh , well -- i was looking for my phone charger in my desk . it was in the back . i do n't know why -- here , is that enough ? joey : god , dad 's hair . it 's like a mullet . kayla : oh , he never had a mullet . my hair on the other hand -- i do n't know what i was thinking . joey : dad 's tux , it 's like -- looks like one of the -- what was that group you guys used to make us listen to ? the temptations . [ laughs ] kayla : uh , yeah . i guess his tux does kind of look like that . joey : i ran into him today . kayla : your dad ? what did he have to say ? joey : we talked about stuff . kayla : mind if i ask what kind of stuff ? joey : i mean , you 're gon na find out anyway . [ sighs ] i acted like a jerk to aunt hope . kayla : oh , she told me that you were pretty upset . joey : so you already know . yeah , but dad and i already talked about it . i 'm gon na tell her i 'm sorry . kayla : did he help you understand why you said what you said ? joey : i thought she dumped uncle bo for that other guy , but dad told me it was uncle bo 's fault . that he left her just like dad left you and me . i 'm trying not to get my hopes up , but it seems like dad 's starting not to act like such a -- kayla : jerk ? joey : i mean , at least when it comes to his family . chase : so , what 's the big secret ? ciara : i think i know . hope : ciara ? hope : i mean , it 's just an idea . could be wrong . aiden : hmm . well , maybe , we should act it out ? hope : hmm . aiden : mm . ciara : is this going to be embarrassing ? aiden : oh , come on now . you survived seeing your mom and me dancing at the st. luke 's gala , right ? you even recorded it on your phone . did i happen to mention he 's the , uh , budding martin scorsese over here . sure is . so i think it makes sense for you to record this for posterity too . ciara : what 's posterity ? hope : it has to do with wanting to keep a record of times you want to remember . chase : go for it . aiden : hmm ? hope : hmm ? both : hmm , hmm . ciara : $ 5 says this is gon na end with them kissing . chase : i 'm not betting with you again . like , i always lose . ciara : [ snickers ] hope : you ready ? aiden : i 've been ready for this for a long time . ciara : you better be recording this . chase : five , four , three , two -- aiden : hope williams brady , will you marry me ? hope : i would love to marry you . ciara : told you . chase : who cares ? they 're getting married ! aiden : yes , we 're getting married . come here . ah . hope : of course , you want to see the ring . [ laughs ] paul : i have to go . i have a meeting with mad world . marlena : i am so glad i ran into you . paul : yeah , me too . marlena : you know , you really helped me put stuff into perspective . marlena : any time , 24/7 . john : hey , you 're back , you 're back . how 'd your trip go ? marlena : i told you he 'd want to know about that . paul : yeah , but i 've got this meeting . john : oh , that 's okay . paul : can i call you later ? john : yeah , yeah , yeah , sure . paul : awesome . john : look forward to it . john : something bothering him ? marlena : oh , i think he 'll tell you about it when he calls you . i know he feels very lucky to have a father like you in his corner . john : and i 'm very lucky to have a woman like you in mine . marlena : [ giggles ] what was that for ? not that i mind ? john : i had a good morning . are you having some luck ? john : i did . i think that , uh , maybe i 'm finally on the right path to finding my parents . chad : what are you thinking ? abigail : that the big problem is your memory . if you could remember what happened to you during those blackouts , than you could defend yourself , right ? chad : i 'd have a shot , yeah . abigail : ever heard of hypnotherapy ? sometimes when you 're hypnotized , things come back to you . you remember things . maybe dr . evans could help you . chad : no . abigail : what ? chad : i 'm not dragging her through this mess or you either . [ machine whirring , beeping ] [ eerie music ] aiden : ah , mm . ciara : so when is this happening ? have you picked a date ? hope : well actually , we were thinking maybe -- very possibly we 'd do it during the salem bicentennial celebration . chase : when 's that ? hope : november 9th . ciara : of this year ? hope : yes . aiden : yes , that 's right . this year . ciara : then we have lots to do . have you looked at dresses ? and shoes ? and who 'd coming to the wedding ? hope : do n't worry . oh , my gosh , you are like a little julie . we will get it all done , i promise . ciara : starting right now . i saw the most perfect dress that would look awesome on me . let 's go , come on . aiden : all right , all right . hope : oh , my gosh . chase : sometimes , i just do not get her . aiden : yeah , well you better figure her out 'cause she 's gon na be your stepsister . [ chuckles ] chase : that is totally cool . aiden : yeah . [ cell phone vibrates ] aiden : oh -- [ beeps ] kayla : you know , um , i have n't said this to your dad , but i 'm starting to think that maybe his coming back -- maybe it means something . joey : like what ? kayla : well your father always had this need to be a daredevil , but he always liked coming home , too . do n't tell him what i 'm about to say , okay ? but maybe if i had spent less time getting mad at him or getting my feelings hurt and more time trying to accept that his is just how he is . i mean , it does n't mean he does n't love us , right ? i mean -- i think he does . why else would he keep coming back ? joey : maybe because even when you had big hair , dad was hot for you . kayla : argh ! [ giggles ] muah . i love you . [ beeping ] steve : hey , john . john : hmm , hey -- steve : marlena , i 'm sorry , i do n't mean to interrupt . marlena : oh , you 're not . in fact , my apologies , i have to handle something . excuse me . john : all right , be careful . steve : [ sighs ] sorry , man , i really need to talk to you about something . john : no , sit down . sit down . steve : hope showed me the letter you brought back to her from bo . john : okay . steve : i read it . it definitely sounds like him . it 's his handwriting . but i still ca n't wrap my head around the idea that he 'd abandon his family . i just ca n't . john : yeah , well , it surprised me , too , but he was working undercover . steve : doing what ? john : i do n't know . steve : john , did bo put that letter in your hands . john : no . after i met with him , the letter was delivered to the hotel room a couple hours later . steve : when you saw him , did you ask you take a letter ? john : he never said a word about it . now , look ... after the last time we met , i started doing a little digging . steve : what 'd you find ? john : not a damn thing . and by that , i mean it 's as if bo never worked for the agency . steve : are you kidding me ? what do you make of that ? john : i 'm not sure . i 'll tell you what i hope did n't happen -- that the mission went south and the isa is just covering it up . abigail : chad , come on . i mean , you have to at least think about it . chad : no , i do n't . if i see a shrink , it 's gon na look like i 'm gearing up for an insanity defense . abigail : how do you know that ? chad : because my lawyer already suggested it . abigail : so seeing a therapist might make you look guilty , but running away wo n't ? chad ... look at me . you are not thinking this through . this is your life we 're talking about here . please . try to find out if marlena will see you . i mean , there could be a chance that you could find out what happened during these blackouts . you have to at least try . i 'm pretty sure that marlena will do this without anyone knowing about it . please , chad . ben : abigail ? abigail ? she 's marrying you . she 's carrying your baby . you can trust her . you have to trust her . | john has flashbacks to his past when he did n't know who he was and makes calls to investigate old articles . marlena runs in to paul at the club and suggests he call john if he needs someone to talk to . stefano tells aiden that he 's on his own but aiden wants his debts paid off when he marries hope like they planned . hope and kayla show steve the letter she received from bo to finally convince him that bo left on his own . steve recognizes that it is bo 's words and handwriting so he apologizes . ben sees the headline about stefano 's heart attack which seems to upset abigail . ben reminds her of her promise not to see chad while he leaves for class as abigail is working from home . |

[ scene_break ] john : no , i will . do not go . marlena : why should i stay ? so stefano can attack and denigrate me in front of everybody ? the awful part is that he 's right . i did a terrible thing . i 'm a doctor , john . i 'm a respected member of my community , and i deliberately injected a man with a poison . i put him into a coma . john : yes . why ? because he did a terrible thing . he destroyed your life by taking away the man that you love . for the longest time , you thought that your husband was dead , that that man in there had killed him and , in a way , he did . and you 're right when you say that i 'll never be the person that i was . you 've lost that guy forever . and it 's all because of stefano dimera . marlena : john -- john : so he got what he deserved . hell , if i had anything to say about it , i would have left him in that coma . and i 'm not just saying that because of all i stand to lose because he 's back now . i 'm saying that because he hurt you . and even though i know you want nothing more to do with me , i would kill anybody who did that to you again . marlena : thank you . john : for what ? marlena : for clarifying everything that happened , reminding me why i did what i did . he did take away the person i love most in the world . and i 'll never , ever , never get him back again . look , it was n't just about vengeance , you know ? when i saw what stefano did to you , i realized he 's capable of doing anything at all . like , i 'm afraid of what he might do . he might go after my children . john : so you took matters into your own hands . well , that 's what we have to do sometimes , blondie , just to protect the people we care about . marlena : [ sniffles ] john : so do n't feel bad . feel good . and do n't feel ashamed or guilty . feel empowered . you 're an incredible woman . and i can see how that ... guy that i used to be was so in love with you . [ scene_break ] stefano : i just wanted to set the record straight at last . anna : did you really think this would work , stefano ? that marlena would just admit to something so unconscionable and unbelievable ? stefano : but it is true . i have been accused and vilified as some kind of a monster while the homicidal dr. evans , who is totally responsible for my extended coma and my life of hell , is revered . enough already . sami : my mom is not and never has been homicidal . you 're still alive , are n't you ? stefano : yes , i am . but the state that she put me in was a living death . do you understand that ? and it 's time that everybody knew that this woman is a menace . the entire world should be aware of it . e.j . : okay , we should call this a night , shall we ? tony ? anna : the very idea that marlena could do anything so horrible , even to you -- marlena : actually ... i could ... and i did . it 's all true . i injected stefano with an untraceable toxin that put him in a coma . and given the chance to do it again ... i might just do it . [ scene_break ] lexie : you know , sometimes when i 'm watching him sleeping , i just ca n't take my eyes off of him . he just seems so serene , so at peace . just like -- abe : just like any other kid . lexie : yeah . abe : i am so proud of you . lexie : for what ? abe : for being a great mom . for dealing with all this stress from your job , stefano , me . you know , you always make theo the first priority . our son is very lucky to have you . so am i . lexie : no . i 'm the lucky one . i thank god every day for you and theo . [ scene_break ] anna : you actually stuck a needle in him , put him in a coma ? it ca n't be possible . sami : she had no choice . stefano : there is always a choice . there are not many people in this world -- presuming that they have a conscious -- would choose to play god with a man 's life . marlena : he 's right . the truth is , i 'm not proud of what i did . but when i saw what he had done to john , i knew i had to find some way to stop him from hurting anybody else . and my conscious unfortunately -- i do have one -- would not allow me to kill him . so i decided that i had to incapacitate him . e.j . : so that 's why you inject him with an untraceable toxin ? marlena : my intention was to render him incapable of speech or any communication whatsoever so he could no longer hurt anyone . his brain , his mental facilities , were still completely intact , assuming that they ever were intact . stefano : hmm . are n't you the clever one ? but you are still capable of the cruelest kind of torture because i was a prisoner in my own body . i was aware of everything around me . i could see , hear , but i could not communicate . i was powerless to do anything . sami : oh , it 's a torture you well deserved , stefano . i am proud of my mom because she had the courage to finally put you away . stefano : i guess i can not blame you for standing by her . she is your mother after all , and family should stick together , which brings me to the point of this evening . antony , elvis ... what say you now that you 've heard marlena admit the truth ? e.j . : as far as i 'm concerned , nothing 's changed . tony : you know , whatever was done to you , by whomever , you brought it on yourself , so you 're not gon na get any sympathy from us . anna : or anyone else . stefano : this is the final insult . the final treachery . mm . i am through with both of you . and as of this moment ... i put you on notice . i put you all on notice . vengeance ... will be mine . john : no , i 'm putting you on notice , brother . right here , right now . [ scene_break ] lexie : i ca n't remember the last time we did something like this , you know , something as simple as enjoying a bottle of wine . abe : oh , i hope before the night 's out , we 'll be enjoying it a lot more .

[ scene_break ] jennifer : so what is it , nicole ? what do you have on daniel ? nicole : what do you mean , what do i have on him ? jennifer : oh , please , spare me the moral outrage . you tried to kill victor . that 's daniel 's godfather . you coached chloe on how to lie to daniel when she was carrying philip 's baby . daniel would n't do anything for you unless you were holding something over his head . he certainly would n't risk his career to lie for you . nicole : i have no reason to blackmail daniel , not when he cares for me so deeply . jennifer : oh , is that so ? nicole : yeah , if he did n't , he would have never made love to me . jennifer : so you 're having an affair with daniel ? nicole : you look so surprised . jennifer : i guess i should n't be . nicole : well , you might as well know all of it . this is rafe 's baby . and after ej and sami cheated on both of us , we found comfort in each other . jennifer : and made a baby . nicole : yeah . and it was a mistake . but you know what ? i 'm so happy about it . and when daniel and i got together , i did n't know what was ahead for us . jennifer : okay , well , then why did n't you move in with daniel instead of me ? nicole : because we 're trying to keep it a secret . jennifer : why ? nicole : look ... daniel is in my life now . he 's a part of my life , and he 's going to be a part of my baby 's life too . jennifer : i do n't believe you -- i do n't believe you . i think you are lying . nicole : about what ? jennifer : about all of it ! you have been trying to keep me away from daniel since jack died , and if you are so sure of him , you would n't be doing that . and i know this is n't rafe 's baby 'cause you ran away with sami 's baby . so i do n't care how hurt or angry he is at sami , he would never have sex with you ! and if you did ... sleep with daniel ... you seduced him , and you convinced him to keep your dirty little secret . nicole : you do n't know what you 're talking about . jennifer : but you know what ? in spite of everything you did , your dirty little secret is not a secret anymore . [ scene_break ] daniel : [ exhales ] hey , chad , it 's daniel . uh , i saw melanie this morning . she told me that you two are planning on getting married in two weeks . i think that is a huge mistake . so please call me as soon as you get this , or , um , you know , or we can talk in person . so ... yeah , give me a call . thanks . melanie : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to yell at you . abigail : it 's okay . it was just a suggestion . melanie : i know , i know , i know , i just -- i just got in a fight with my dad about this . obviously he does n't think i should be getting married . gabi : um , he does n't ? why ? melanie : it does n't matter . it does n't matter . at this point , chad and i have no idea who 's actually gon na show up , but we 're still getting married . and if you guys do n't wan na come , that 's fine . i understand . but i want you there . i want you both there . so are you in or are you out ? abigail : we 're in , we 're in . we 're totally in . and we are gon na make sure that you have the perfect wedding . right ? gabi : right .

[ scene_break ] sami : okay . what was wrong ? why do n't you tell me what the fight was about ? ej : you know , your concern for my injuries is really touching . sami : why do n't you just tell me the reason for the fight ? ej : there was n't a reason for the fight . sami : oh , come on . ej : samantha , look ... there was a lot of testosterone , it started overflowing , and that 's really all there was to it . okay ? let it go .

victor : you look chilly , stefano . should i adjust your blankie for you ? stefano : listen to me , stronzo ( turd ) . i may be on my back at this very moment , but if you think that that means i 'm helpless , ha ha , think again . you looking for me ? aiden : you again . yeah , me . aiden : i was expecting to see -- he sent me instead . he 's bored with reminding you that your loans are past due . so he wants me to remind you in a whole new way . unless you got the cash on you right now . will : no , i have n't heard from sonny since he left . i miss him so much . marlena : of course you do . i imagine she does , too . will : you know what makes it hurt even more , is knowing that i did this . i made this happen . if it had n't been for me , sonny , arianna , and i we 'd still be a happy family . marlena : you know , if you want to talk about this , i am always available to you . will : thank you . but i know you have a lot to deal with right now , too . poor uncle eric . i ca n't believe his old girlfriend was murdered . marlena : and paige larson . will : chad , i mean , the cops are thinking he 's the killer , right ? i mean , i know the guy 's got problems , but to murder two people ? how is that even possible ? hope : until we get the forensics report back on the neckties , we 've got the napkin near serena 's body with chad 's blood on it , the key to the dimera gate that we found in the park -- rafe : yeah , but chad says he dropped the key . anyone could have picked it up . hope : right , but the petal near paige 's body is from a flower that only grows locally in stefano dimera 's garden . rafe : mm - hmm . hope : and also , there 's paige 's statement that she saw chad follow serena out of the club , and let 's not forget about the scene that you witnessed between chad and paige right before paige was murdered . rafe : yeah , exactly . all of which gets us nowhere . hope : [ sighs ] you said that it looked like he was furious at her for talking to you . rafe : yes , i did . but if i had to testify , i would be forced to say that i did not hear a damn word that they were saying , nothing . hope : you realize justin is biting at the bit to charge him with two counts of murder one . rafe : yeah , believe me , i know . but what aiden said is true , all of this evidence that we have , it is all circumstantial , hope . hope : rafe , there 's the fact that he ca n't account for his whereabouts at the time of either murder . two blackouts in two nights ? odd , do n't you think ? rafe : yeah , especially considering the fact i could n't find any history of alcohol abuse . hope : you think it 's possible he could be lying about the blackouts ? rafe : or he 's being set up . hope : you know , from the very beginning , your gut 's been telling you that we ca n't pin this on chad just yet . rafe : yeah , because i think that there 's more here . there has to be . abigail : will you do it ? will you please let marlena hypnotize you ? chad : abby , all of the evidence is pointing to me . if anyone sees me walking into marlena 's office , it 's gon na look like i know i 'm guilty and that i am trying to get her to say that i was nuts during the time of the murders . abigail : chad , chad , i know the hospital layout backward and forward . i can get you in without anybody seeing you . chad : you know , you -- you 'd do that for me ? abigail : i would . yeah . chad : okay , before you say anything else , i have to tell you something and -- and it 's a game changer . steve : hey . kayla : hello . steve : so why 'd you want to see me ? i mean , i thought you said everything you needed to say when hope and i were in your office . kayla : and then joey came by and said he saw you today . steve : is that all he said ? kayla : no . it sounded like you had a decent talk . steve : decent . okay , i 'll take that , given the last couple of days . kayla : you know , i just -- i just want to ask you something . you come back , you start to make a little progress with your son , but all you really want to do is leave town for god knows how long and go hunting for bo . steve : listen , i have been talking to john about this . he 's been looking into it , because he 's back with the isa . kayla : and ? steve : john ca n't find anything on bo . it 's as if he never worked for the agency . now , either than means that bo is so deep undercover and they 're trying to protect him or they really do n't have any idea where he is or what happened to him . john hopes that does n't mean that bo is in real trouble and the isa is trying to cover it up . now , do you want me to just ignore that ? kayla : i do n't know what to say . steve : kayla , you know i came back here because i wanted to see if there 's still a chance for us . i 've been thinking , if i can bring your brother back and show you that i 'm not just looking for a reason to run away , you might be willing to give me another chance . rafe : what i 'd like to do is take everything we 've got and try and put a profile of the killer together -- age , social standing , mental state , everything that we 've got . hope : you know , marlena 's good at psychological profiling . she 's done it for us so many times . rafe : exactly who i had in mind . hope : good idea , actually , pretty great . rafe : well , thank you , ma'am . hope : i 've missed working with you , you know . rafe : you , too . whoa , got a feeling those are n't for me . jerry : no , these are for you , detective brady . hope : well , wow . rafe : well , wow , is right . hope : thank you , jerry . rafe : did n't he send you flowers yesterday ? hope : yeah , but things have changed since yesterday . rafe : oh , yeah , like what ? rafe : `` thank you for making me the happiest husband - to - be in the world . `` huh . chad : if i let marlena hypnotize me , then , yeah , i could find out what i was doing when -- when serena and paige were murdered , but i could also remember doing it . abigail : that -- that 's not gon na happen , chad . chad : and there could be a third possibility . all of the evidence is pointing to me because i 'm being set up . abigail : who would do that ? chad : my father . abigail : why would he do that to you ? chad : to punish me for telling you about him wanting to swindle you out of the inheritance . abigail : chad , i think that 's a little over the top , even for stefano . chad : no . abigail : what did he do after you said that to him ? chad : he grabbed his chest and fell over . that 's why i did n't respond to you when you asked me how i was doing after his heart attack . i might have caused it . so that being said , all of this could be much worse than you thought , and it could be really dangerous if you help me out . abigail : if your father did this , then you can not run away . chad , you have to fight back . you have to prove that you did n't do this . now , are you gon na let me get you in to see marlena or not ? will : chad has been different since he came back . marlena : hmm . different how ? will : more of a dimera , or at least acting like one . but he 's not a killer . he did n't even know serena or paige . the cops are saying he just flipped out and killed them both for no reason ? marlena : there seems to be some incriminating evidence . what do you think caused the change in chad ? will : it 's not what , it 's who . abigail . he loves her . but he keeps saying that he 's over her . i know he 's not . just like i could never be over sonny . marlena : i thought she was involved with ben . i mean , i thought they were engaged . will : trust me , there is still something between chad and abigail . marlena : how do you know ? will : i ca n't talk about it . marlena : i see . okay . will : if chad is mixed up in this mess , i hope abigail is smart enough to steer clear of him . marlena : i think abigail is smart enough to do the right thing . i think we should trust her . and i think you should trust sonny . just give him some time . will : what am i supposed to do with myself while i give him some time ? marlena : well , spend time with your sweet baby girl . and you could start to work again . will : i do n't even want to think about journalism . marlena : will , you 're a wonderful writer . you have so much bottled up inside of you . just pick something that you 're passionate about , something that interests you , and start to write . i think the words will just flow out of you . rafe : i guess that 's the big surprise that aiden was talking about , he was gon na give you . it 's great . hope : yeah , i took some time to think about it , and i said yes . told the kids about it today . they were over the moon . rafe : wow . congratulations . it 's -- the guy 's burning through his flower budget , though . hope : yeah , probably . rafe : yeah . hope : we 're happy . rafe : well , then i 'm happy for you . i mean , wow . hope : thank you . rafe : yeah . yeah . kayla : oh , i 'm sorry . am i interrupting anything ? rafe : no , no . hope : kay . rafe : no , no , no , no . it 's okay . i 'm gon na start working on that thing we were just talking about . hope : great . rafe : yeah , all right . hope : what brings you by ? kayla : i had a deposition i had to do , and i thought i should come talk to you . aiden ? hope : yeah . kayla : wow . hope : yeah . kayla : so why were you hugging rafe ? hope : he was -- he was congratulating me . kayla : mm - hmm . hope : i have some news , and we did n't want to say anything to anyone else until we told the kids , but ... kayla : oh . aiden : i 'm gon na have the money . i just need a little bit more time and then -- time is something you ran out of . aiden : see , here 's the thing . the guy who owes me money is in the hospital . once he gets out , he 's gon na pay me back , and then when he pays me back , i can pay your boss back with interest . so it 's -- it 's gon na -- that 's a good plan . aiden : yeah . oh , congratulations on the engagement . aiden : yeah . ben : it 's no big deal .

'cause i 've been thinking it may be best for all concerned if you just stayed in the hospital , looked after your health , and let the authorities pick chad up soon as possible . i mean , hell , what 's he ever done for you ?

kayla : no . you know that i am so happy for you and aiden . and when you told me that he proposed , i did not discourage you from accepting . and when you said that you had doubts , i supported your decision to take time to decide . hope : then what am i sensing ? does it change how you feel now that 's i 've accepted his proposal that we 're engaged ? kayla : no , i just -- it just occurred to me that if you marry aiden , will you not be my sister - in - law anymore ?

kayla : i thought i should tell you . hope : yeah . kayla : 'cause i know it 's not easy for you . hope : no , it just -- you know , when he started talking about it earlier today , i know how angry and defensive i must have sounded , and i hope to god that you do n't think that i do n't want bo to be found . kayla : i would never think that . hope : i really wish that steve could find bo and convince him to come back for his children , for you , for your mom . you know what else i wish . that i could tell him face - to - face that it 's over between us . there 's someone i can count on now . that 's what i wish . kayla : must feel good . hope : aiden 's woken me up . he made me see that the sun still shines , kay . hope : i do n't know how i got so lucky . you 'll need to come back in about a week for another x - ray to make sure the fracture fragments have n't moved . aiden : got it . i 'm going on break . will you look in on mr. dimera ? i just gave him pain medicine . he should be out cold pretty soon . aiden : hey , wake up . stefano : [ groans ] [ sighs ] is there no rest for the weary ? aiden : do n't you get it ? my back is up against the wall . if i have to deal with that goon again , i may end up with no fingers . stefano : well , is it my fault that you like to gamble , huh ?

chad : yes , i know -- i know how all of that sounds . but the evidence they say they have , my lawyer says it 's all circumstantial . yet the cops keep coming after me . in fact , on the way over here , there was an unmarked car following us . marlena : and you think that was the police . chad : yeah , or -- or the person who 's setting me up . marlena : excuse me . chad : look , i told abigail that i think it 's very possible that i 'm being framed . marlena : so you think ? it sounds like you 're not even sure whether you 're innocent or not . hope : after you told me that you saw steve , you seemed to want to get off the subject rather quickly . kayla : well , telling myself that i loath him and i 'm glad that he 's not in my life is a lot easier when he 's not around . but i do n't know . when he 's in the room , i - i -- hope : yeah . you 're still attracted to him . kayla : well , i do n't know if it 's just , like , an old habit or something or -- or if it 's more than that , but i am gon na do my best to fight it . that 's all i can tell you . hope : he wants you back , does n't he ? kayla : oh , he says that now . i mean -- hope : kay , we both had men in our lives that have greatly disappointed us . kayla : and they 're larger than life . hope : i need to look ahead , instead of remembering the past . kayla : you seem like you 're managing that . hope : that 's what i 'm determined to do . mr. dimera ?

[ scene_break ] eleanor : so , dr. jonas , you 've practiced at a number of reputable hospitals . daniel : i have . eleanor : and how would dr . carver compare with the other chiefs of staff that you 've worked with ? daniel : well , let me just say this . initially , i was brought here specifically to perform a rare pancreatic procedure on a patient . the operation was successful . and i assumed i would just be moving on . but then dr . carver here asked me to stay . and i must admit , i was a bit hesitant at first . but then the more i thought about it , the more it made sense . why not ? why not stay ? good people , great environment . i felt i had something to offer . but most of all , i just like the way things work around here . and to me , well , that says a lot about the person in charge . eleanor : would you say that you have a good working relationship with dr . carver ? daniel : without a doubt . eleanor : this next question , i apologize , but it has to be asked . daniel : please . eleanor : do you think that the fact that dr . carver 's son was recently diagnosed with autism has affected her work ? julie : how is that relevant ? eleanor : is n't it possible that dr . carver 's personal problems interfered with her duties as chief of staff ? daniel : no , absolutely not . lexie has been nothing but professional through all of this . lexie : it 's okay . i am dealing with a lot right now . and maybe my son 's diagnosis has affected my job , but it does not change my commitment to my patients and my staff at this hospital . and it never will . [ scene_break ] nicole : i know that your son is the most important person in your life . and that 's part of why i like you . you put your family first . i respect that . e.j . : so you 're telling me that you would n't have a problem sharing me with johnny ? nicole : i think there 's room for both of us . it 's sami i do n't want to share you with . e.j . : nicole , she 's his mother . she 's always going to be a part of his life . nicole : ca n't we send her to that deserted island ? e.j . : [ chuckles ] you 'd like that , would n't you ? nicole : i can think of a lot of people who would . e.j . : come here . look , if we 're gon na do this -- us -- you need to give a little , and i need to know that you 're willing to do that . nicole : i 'm willing to be flexible . but sami has to do the same . e.j . : she will . trust me . nicole : you say that now , but wait till she finds out we 're dating . i mean , if -- if we take it to that level . e.j . : no , quite . nicole : that 's it . how long are we gon na play this game ? e.j . : what game ? nicole : are you gon na ask me out or what ? e.j . : oh . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] mayor marino : how dare you suggest that i accepted a bribe . abe : now , we know that stefano bought his way out of jail and out of those charges . does n't take a genius to figure out what 's going on here . roman : abe , why do n't we let it go for now ? abe : you want to know what i think happened ? mayor marino : no , i do n't . abe : i think stefano paid off whoever he had to , starting with the d.a . and working his way right up through you . mayor marino : that 's enough . abe : you know , when you ran for office , i actually voted for you . i thought , `` here 's a young guy . he 's smart , energetic , full of fresh ideas . he 'll bring a new strength and courage to city hall . `` i could n't have been more wrong . mayor marino : commissioner , consider this your final warning . abe : what are you gon na do ? fire me ? mayor marino : if you persist . abe : you know , the last thing i want to do is work for a corrupt and , even worse , a cowardly and intimidated city hall . i 'll find a way to get stefano on my own . roman : do n't do this , partner . abe , do n't do this . abe : sorry , roman . i quit . roman : abe ! [ scene_break ] eleanor : before we deliberate , i 'd like to pose one final question to dr. jonas , if i may . daniel : please . go right ahead . eleanor : in your experience , when a chief of staff falls behind in her administrative duties , as dr . carver has , what would be the repercussions ? daniel : well , i 'm really not in a position to answer that , but , you know , i will say this . i have worked at a lot of hospitals where the chairman and the chief of staff has essentially and singularly been an administrator who 's done nothing but worry about deadlines and budgets and filing reports and papers . they were little more than a paper - pushing automaton . but that is not dr . carver . she is first and foremost a physician , someone with heart , dedication , perseverance , intelligence , and understanding , and , above all , compassion . so , simply , i believe dr . carver is the best doctor -- no , the best person this hospital could have to lead it and to represent it . this institution -- all of you right here are incredibly lucky -- no , no , you are fortunate and blessed to have her . and it would be a huge mistake to let her go . eleanor : thank you , doctor . now , if you and dr . carver would please step out for a moment while the board deliberates . daniel : you know , may i please just say one more thing ? eleanor : i think we 've heard enough . julie : oh , eleanor , for god 's sake , let him speak . eleanor : go on . daniel : i would like you all to please take a good look at this woman . she is what this hospital is all about . lexie treats her staff like they are family , from the heart surgeon to the janitor , and i 'll tell you what -- it shows , because i have never been in a hospital where the chief of staff has been so highly regarded . and these people here , they do n't -- they do n't just follow in her footsteps because they fear her . they do it , and they gladly do it , because they respect her . now , i 'll hope you 'll all keep that in mind when you make your decision . thank you . lexie : yeah . eleanor : the question before us is very simple -- do we keep dr . carver as chief of staff , or do we let her go ? [ scene_break ] kate : i am sorry that i was so hesitant about coming to the hospital today . philip : that 's okay . kate : no , it 's not . it 's not . you were concerned . you were worried about your mother , and i should feel lucky . philip : what , so does this mean no more complaints ? kate : yeah , no more complaints .

[ scene_break ] lucas : you know what , chloe ? i think they need to run some more tests on you . i think your brain has finally turned to mush . you 're talking to god , and now my mom is poisoning you too ? chloe : she knew about the affair . lucas : it does n't matter ! it does n't make her a killer . chloe : lucas , every time i got sick , kate was there . she is the one who gave me the apple , the only thing that i 'd eaten that day , and i got sick . remember ? she 's the one who provided all the food for the show that we were using , and every time i ate something , i got sick ! lucas : daniel sent those apples -- he 's the one who gave them to you . chloe : anything i ate , any food , it came from trays provided by kate . do n't you see ? chloe : has it hit you yet that the police have a ton of evidence against daniel ? he wrote out the prescription . the damn drug was found in his apartment ! chloe : oh , and your mother is not smart enough , not devious enough to plant evidence ? lucas : she would n't go that far -- she would n't do that . chloe : come on , it makes a hell of a lot more sense than daniel trying to kill me . he loves me , and i love him , all right ? we were planning -- oh , my god . lucas : what ? chloe : i 've been awake for a while now . why is n't daniel here ? lucas : i do n't know ! who cares ? who cares where he is ? maybe he left town because he knows for a fact he 's got ta stand trial tomorrow . chloe : no , what if kate got to him too ? [ scene_break ] stefano : you know , katherine , i 'm not only flattered that you came to me for help , but in a strange sort of way , i 'm ... deeply moved . because the last time we talked , whoo ! you were so terribly angry at me . kate : yeah . just because you ordered my son to be murdered ? how petty of me . stefano : mm . you know that my dealings with the kiriakis family is not something that i can discuss . and surely , you must realize that having lived with victor . kate : what about your dealings with me ? stefano : none of victor 's business . kate : good . stefano : you know ... [ drumming on table ] look at this here . we have a very interesting setup on this table . kate : yes , i know , i know . but time is running out for me , and frankly , things could get a lot worse very quickly . are you going to help me or are you not ? stefano : of course . i should think that goes without saying . but you must realize that there 's going to be a price , naturally . kate : price ? stefano : a non - negotiable price . are you willing to agree to those terms ? hmm ? ho ho ho ho . [ laughing ] will you look at that ? [ laughs ] kate : what ? stefano : the queen . i captured her . [ scene_break ] lucas : so not only did my mom try to kill you , but she 's going after your boyfriend too . wow , chloe , that 's amazing ! chloe : i 'm just afraid that something 's happened to him . lucas : you know what , i 'm sick of talking about this . i do n't wan na discuss this with you anymore ! you and your dumb fantasies about this . you want me to tell you how it 's gon na play out ? i 'll tell you -- when the police -- chloe : lucas -- lucas : and not if ... but when the police arrest daniel -- and they will arrest him , again -- he 's gon na go to jail for attempted murder . chloe : but he 's innocent ! lucas : really , is he ? and you know what ? the d.a . 's gon na stick to their guns . you know why ? because they have all the evidence they need -- the prescription he wrote , the drugs in his apartment , and the phone call you made to maggie . chloe : what phone call ? lucas : you called maggie . you called maggie before you were drugged , before the taping of the show , and you asked for help . you said that daniel was threatening you . chloe : that never happened ! lucas : oh , really , so now you 're calling maggie a liar too . chloe : no , lucas , i 'm just saying whatever she thought she heard , it -- it -- that 's crazy , all right ? i was n't afraid . in fact , i was absolutely mean to daniel that day when we were gon na tape the show because i was trying to hide how i truly felt . and i was trying to focus on you and just you and trying to make things work for us . lucas : well , that paid off , did n't it ? that turned out great . chloe : oh , lucas ... i ca n't tell you how truly sorry i am , all right ? but in the end , i ... i gave in to my true feelings . lucas : well , you know what ? i 'm gon na follow my true feelings too . i mean , i know we do n't have a future together . i know there 's no chance of that . but i 'm gon na make sure you and daniel do n't either . he 's gon na spend the rest of his life in prison . chloe : no , you ca n't do that ! daniel did n't do anything wrong !

will : what 's the rush ? zoe : i have a new assignment for you . it 's a profile piece . will : who 's the subject ? zoe : chad dimera . jeremiah : just who the hell do you think you are ? chad : well , my friends call me chad -- jeremiah : what kinda name is that ? chad : but you can call me mr. dimera . i 'm the guy who 's telling you : leave this girl alone . jeremiah : you got the wrong idea . her and i are old friends . we go way back , do n't we tammy sue ? i just wanted to say hello . chad : and now you have . jeremiah : you take care , now . chad : i hope i did n't barge in . i just did not like the way that guy was talking to you . jordan : i did n't like it , either . thank you . chad : i remember you . we have n't been introduced , but i thought your name was jordan . sonny : will and i took ari to see gabi yesterday . rafe : oh , thanks , man . bet that meant the world to her . sonny : got some pictures . rafe : yeah ? sonny : uh - huh , see . rafe : aw . see . i do n't know how she does it -- she still manages to smile , even when she 's going through hell . god , i worry about her . sonny : person she 's worried about is you . ben : want to talk about jordan ? what about her ? lucas : well , it 's just , uh , i heard jordan and rafe broke up . ben : yeah . lucas : yeah , it 's too bad because , you know , they 're both really great people and i thought it would work out between them . ben : oh . lucas : do you think it still could ? ben : what 's this about ? are you asking me if you can take my sister out ? kate : well , um , you may be very adept at reading women , but if you are sensing any interest coming from me , then i think you may want to have your meter checked . clyde : oh , if i 've given you offense , i 'm so sorry . kate : offense . no , no , do n't be silly . women just adore the phrase , `` women are women . `` we respond so well to that . clyde : oh . well -- what i was trying to say is that , where i 'm from you learn , pretty early on , that you ca n't always trust everything that comes out of a person 's mouth . kate : even so , do n't you think you oughta have some respect for it ? clyde : oh , yes ma'am . but what i trust is what i see in their eyes . now , maybe the question here is n't whether or not you 're interested , maybe the question is , um -- kate : what ? clyde : well , you say you 're so swamped at work that you ca n't have lunch with me . but kate , you run a cosmetics company , right ? you and i both know that if you go out to lunch , women everywhere certainly are n't gon na run out of lipstick . right ? so it makes me wonder , is there some other reason you 're too afraid to share a simple meal with me ? roman : you know what , sami , people told me that maybe you were over the top , going after him the way you did when you found out he cheated on you . you know what i said ? `` no . `` i said i thought you got it about right . i said i thought you had finally figured out who you got involved with . ej : she 's involved with a man who loves her , roman , and who has always loved her . roman : and you show your love by sleeping with another woman . i do n't even want to think what you 'd do if you actually hated my daughter . sami , please , tell me you are not this desperate . will : we have been over this . zoe : and i agreed not to ask you to write about your family . did you turn into a dimera when i was n't looking ? will : my mother is married to chad 's brother . zoe : yeah , legally . that does n't make him family . will : oh , you are splitting hairs . besides , he is my husband 's business partner . zoe : the man is a dimera . our readership loves to read about them . our sales numbers prove it . will : even so , chad , he has no power at dimera enterprises . zoe : ah , but his brother -- the brother that he took a bullet for -- slept with his ex . he grew up thinking that he was the son of a judge and the d.a . then he finds out that he is the biological son of stefano dimera and his mother died in a tragic accident . tell me that that 's not a cover story . will : even so , i have not spoken to chad since he left . he 's thousands of miles away . zoe : not anymore . he 's back . jennifer : chad is back ? how do you know that , did someone tell you ? abigail : i wish . i was at the square , i was waiting ben , and then chad just walked by . jennifer : how did that go ? abigail : it was good , at first , actually , but he was just biding his time . jennifer : he 'd read the article ? abigail : yep . sami sent it to him . jennifer : is there no end to what that woman will do ? abigail : i do n't know . but chad knows all about ej and me , now . he said there 's no one i could 've picked that would 've hurt him more . jordan : i grew up being tammy sue but i never really liked my name . chad : jordan suits you . jordan : thanks . chad : so , did you grow up in the south , like that guy ? jordan : we lived in the same town , but i managed to lose my accent when i left . chad : and what 's he doin ' here ? jordan : i did n't ask . how are you doing ? chad : okay . jordan : i mean , the night we saw each other at the club it was right before you got shot . it must 've been hard to come back here . chad : sort of . yeah , but i 'm back now . how 's rafe ? jordan : fully recovered . chad : oh , that 's great . jordan : yeah , it is . chad : and were n't you and he -- jordan : uh , yeah -- but not anymore . chad : really ? well , i thought he was smarter than that . rafe : well , i 'll make sure that gabi knows that she does n't have to worry about me . i 'm just fine . sonny : she blames herself for what happened with you and jordan . rafe : what ? no , that 's ridiculous . and i will set her straight . there 's only one guy who 's responsible for screwing things up between jordan and me . you 're looking at him . lucas : you know , if i was interested in taking your sister out , i 'd probably ask her myself . i was just hoping to hear she was okay . ben : seems like you 're hoping for something else . lucas : no . no , i 've been the rebound guy a few times in my life , um , i do n't want to be that guy again . roman : see , i did n't come here to have a scene with you , i came to talk to my daughter about something else . ej : so next time , here 's a thought : call before you come over , and then you wo n't have to see things you do n't wish to see . sami : okay , uh , ej , hey , um , how 'bout we let me talk to my dad for a little bit . just the two of us -- okay . ej : okay . if you need me for anything i 'll be back here in an instant . sami : all right , dad , let me have it . will : chad 's back ? you know that for sure ? zoe : one of my stringers was on his flight last night . will : and you want to use what he 's been through to sell magazines . zoe : you catch on quick . will : the guy is my friend . zoe : oh come on , you just said you have n't talked to him since he left . that was like a year ago . was n't chad dimera the guy who outed you at your own wedding ? will : you should run that through a fact - checker , because that is no where near being accurate . zoe : right . he said that the groom was n't the father of the bride 's baby , you were . which is even better . our readers will eat that up . will : oh , so i should just be okay with pimping out my personal life for the magazine . zoe : is n't that what you did when you wrote about your mother ? will : i learned from my mistake . zoe : okay . fine . this is a great story , but if you have a problem with writing it , then i 'll give you a pass . will : that 's what my deal is . zoe : but , there is going to be an article about chad , whether you like it or not , and i have a whole stable of writers who are dying for an assignment like this . and maybe they wo n't work as hard to protect chad as you would . and , unlike them , you have it in your contract that you approve any changes to any article you write . so , if i decide to do something like -- will : reveal abigail 's name ? zoe : exactly . you can turn around and sue me and end up owning the whole magazine . so , think about what 'll be best for your friend chad . just do n't take too long . kate : clyde , there are n't many things that i 'm afraid of . clyde : which is just one more thing to like about you . kate : okay . look , we are both very busy people and , no offense , but do n't you think this is really just a waste of precious time . clyde : well , you did find time to come all the way to poplar bluff to look me up . kate : because i had good reason . clyde : because you were so concerned about tammy sue and your friend , rafe . kate : right . clyde : so let me ask you this , is he the reason you wo n't have lunch with me ? rafe : it 's just clear that you broke the three second rule , i definitely should 've gotten some free throws . sonny : you pitched a tent in the key . lucas : he was camping out in the key all day long . ben : you got ta pay a fee . lucas : we 'd a killed you guys . ben : are you kidding me ? rafe : talk about -- sonny : hey , hey , let 's let 'em think that if it 's gon na make 'em feel better . rafe : well it 's the truth , that 's all . sonny : all right , i 'm gon na get going . lucas : please , do n't go . ben : me too . sonny : now we 'll let the losers pay . it 's been fun . lucas : get out while you can . next time you 're mine , no freebies . rafe : hey ben , hold on a second . i 'm pretty sure that sonny did n't tell you that i was coming . i just wanted to say that it was cool that you came and played . ben : no , no , he told me . you do n't have to thank me . you think i 'd pass up a chance to knock you on your ass again ? never . never . rafe : that 's good , that 's silly -- alright , buddy , i got ta get going . lucas : what 's going on with you and ben ? guy played like you had a target on your back or something . rafe : well , you got ta respect a guy that sticks up for his sister . you should probably get the bill , you threw up quite a few bricks . lucas : yeah , yeah , thanks . yeah , take that with you . rafe : see ya , bud . lucas : all right . rafe : next time . lucas : all right . jordan : rafe did n't do anything stupid . he and i -- well , it just did n't work out . chad : sorry . jordan : well , hey , i got ta run . i 'm meeting someone for lunch . chad : enjoy . uh , maybe i 'll see you around . jordan : and thanks again for coming to my rescue . it was very gallant . chad : wow , gallant . i have n't been called that in a while . jennifer : so chad must 've been pretty angry . abigail : oh , yeah , he was -- he was angry , all right . jennifer : right , the guy who lies about having a brain tumor to get rid of the competition is up in arms -- abigail : ej 's his brother -- jennifer : how do you -- please ! as much as i wish that that whole affair had n't happened , why should it matter to him ? you broke it off with chad a year ago , you can see whoever you want . did he come back here to make you feel guilty ? abigail : well , he should n't have even bothered , i already feel guilty enough as it is . jennifer : honey , do n't say that . abigail : mom , i 've slept with two men in my whole life , and they 're brothers . jennifer : listen to me , you owe chad nothing . he used you and he lied about something so important . abigail : i know , and i gave him hell for that . i was so self - righteous about what chad did to me . and then slept with ej . the guy who helped him pull it off . roman : well , i did n't come here to yell at you . i came here because i love you . they told me how scared you were that stefano might find another way to come back to town now . let me ask you this , has he made any specific threats to you , something i can act on ? sami : dad , you know stefano , he 's smarter than that . god , i ca n't believe my ego . that i thought i could bring stefano dimera down with income tax evasion . roman : well , that is how they got al capone . sami : right , in the ' 30s . dad , we humiliated him , and now it 's public knowledge . roman : yeah , and stefano is all about his image -- no doubt about that . and to have two women bring him down , whew ! that has got to hurt poor , old stefano . as for me , i am very proud of both of you , and i wo n't forget that , as long as i live . sami : [ laughing ] thanks , dad . unfortunately , he 's not going to forget it , either . roman : well let me ask you this . if you 're scared , why are you all over the guy who was your other prime target ? is n't that playing right into ej 's hands ? kate : rafe and i are just friends , really good friends . clyde : well , i 'm glad to be set straight . but if you 're not pining away for him , there ought to be somebody else . beautiful woman like you , that 's criminal if you ask me . why is n't there someone in your life ? kate : that 's so nice of you to say that . but did it ever occur to you that maybe i 'm just not looking ? clyde : oh , i owe you an apology . kate : no , not necessary . clyde : and i 'm gon na make it up to you over dinner . kate : clyde , no . clyde : you said you were n't scared to share a meal with me . kate : well , i 'm not . clyde : lunch is out 'cause you 're too busy , that leaves dinner . kate : no , i just do n't think -- clyde : it 'll be painless , i promise . you might even get a laugh or two . come on , what are you so scared about ? oh , make me so happy . i 'll give you a holler as to when and where . kate : i did not agree to that . sami : daddy , our entire family has yelled at me that i am overreacting about what happened . roman : you always overreact , sami , that 's what you do . so do n't under - react now . okay ? now look , sweetheart , i know you 're scared , but -- wait a minute , wait a minute , wait a minute . ej is telling you he 'll protect you from stefano , is n't he . and you believe that . sami : because it 's true . he will . he can , but that 's not why -- and it 's not why i married him . roman : well , you do remember that your mom and i did n't come to your wedding , right ? sami : i know , but it 's because you hate him . roman : yeah , 'cause we 'll never forget the things he 's done and we know he 'll never change . but when your mom and i heard what you did after you found out he cheated on you , we thought that you had finally figured that out too . sami : mom has some nerve , pointing the finger at ej , after what she did you . jennifer : does ben know about you and chad ? abigail : well he does now . jennifer : well i do n't think it 's going to be a problem because he seems like a really good guy . abigail : he is . yeah , he is a really good guy . and it 's nice to be with someone who 's uncomplicated . clyde : hey , whatcha doin ' ? ben : getting ready for the lunch crowd . clyde : looks like we can talk privately now , huh ? ben : about what ? clyde : this . open it . please . ej : chad ? chad : how 'd you know where to -- ej : you know , you and i need to get a couple of things straight . now . zoe : i do n't understand what the problem is . will you please just tell him zoë browning called ? yes . he is . okay , well then just tell him to return the call as soon as he is . no , no , no , no , no , no . no , no , i need you to make it happen . i am on a deadline . thank you . lucas : zoe browning ? zoe : what is it ? lucas : i do n't know , i was just wondering how you sleep at night . zoe : what is your problem ? lucas : my problem is what you did to my son , that 's my problem . zoe : who 's your son ? lucas : will horton . ring a bell ? nice guy -- great guy , actually . talented writer , full of integrity , and you used him to sell your lousy magazine , did n't you ? well thank god he does n't work for you anymore . thank god ! hello , are you even listening to me right now ? zoe : finally -- yes . lucas : finally what ? what is this ? zoe : just read it . sonny : will ? roman : we were talking about ej , not your mother . sami : we are talking about cheating . i wan na hear you tell me what you think the difference is , between what mom did to you and what ej did to me . roman : so you expect me to still go after your mom , after all these years , about that ? sami : i 'm just saying , it still hurts . roman : that was a long time -- yes . but i let it go . okay ? besides , this is a different situation . sami : you 're right . yes , i agree , it 's a different situation . mom was in love with john . ej did n't love abby . he still loves me . and i know it still hurts . but dad , let 's go back there , right ? if we went back to 1993 and mom had done this horrible thing to you and it hurt you . but she came back and she said she was wrong and she said she did n't love john , she loved you instead . and she wanted to get back together with you . are you seriously gon na tell me that you would n't have taken her back , that you would n't have wanted to be a family with your children ? are you gon na look me in the eye and tell me that you would n't have taken her back ? roman : under those circumstances , yes ! i would have . in a minute -- no doubt about it . okay ? you happy now ? ben : what 's all this money for ? bribe ? clyde : it 's your sisters . it 's the money she offered me to leave town . ben : it 's jordan 's life savings . clyde : i started feeling really bad about taking it . i knew i should 've ripped up the check right then and there , but you know , a man 's got his pride . ben : especially if he 's you . clyde : and mine was wounded so i cashed the check . but then i got to thinkin ' . i want her to have it back . would you give it to her ? abigail : hey , jordan , i 'm so sorry i 'm late . jordan : oh , i just got here . abigail : you okay ? jordan : i just ran into someone i used to know . someone i never expected to see again . abigail : i know the feeling . i ran into chad last night . he 's back in salem . jordan : i know . abigail : you do ? jordan : because i just ran into him , too . ej : now that you 're not waving a gun in my face , let me tell you something . chad , i am truly sorry for any hurt that i may have caused you . you had your moment , you 've got your power back , that is as far as this goes . chad : i see . so you decide that . ej : i have this chance to get back something that i very foolishly lost . now , if you do anything to prevent that from happening -- brother , no brother -- i 'll cut you down . lucas : so you 're the editor of sonix , and you 're taking will -- zoe : will is following me there , yes . lucas : why ? zoe : because i took one look at the editing staff at sonix and decided that we needed someone who was -- how 'd you put it ? uh , a good writer who had integrity . lucas : yeah look , about what i said before , all right -- zoe : about how much sleep i get . lucas : yeah , about that sleep thing . i did n't mean that at all . zoe : you 're afraid that some of the words that you said might have an impact on your son 's job . lucas : yeah , yeah a little bit . zoe : it 's okay . i hired the son , that 's not gon na change because the father is a horse 's ass . lucas : a what ? zoe : have a great day . sonny : i missed you on the basketball court today . will : do n't give me that , the text said you had ben sub for me . sonny : he 's a good guy but he 's no substitute for you . will : come on , the guy 's got major reach on me . sonny : yeah , but he does n't have your moves . both : [ laughing ] clyde : after the two of you left , and i found out tammy sue took my money , too , i was plenty mad . ben : yeah , i 'll bet . clyde : and i guess i was still mad when she tried to pay me back . then i started seeing the two of you again and it just hit me , how much i love you two . and all i want is to have you back in my life again . i know i got a lot of work to do before i can make that happen . i know that . and i 'm afraid that if i go to tammy sue now and try to give her back the money , it 'll just upset her . that 's why i 'm asking you to do it . ben : and when i get there i 'm just supposed to talk up how humble and sincere you were when you asked me . i 'm supposed to tell her how much of a changed man you are , right ? clyde : i do n't have any control over what comes out of your mouth when you talk about me , you can say whatever you want . but if it 's not too much to ask , would you please tell her i 'm sorry . jordan : did i say something wrong ? abigail : i 'm just confused , i do n't understand why you 're so upset about running into chad . i thought you guys did n't even know each other . jordan : oh , we do n't . that 's not who i was talking about . in fact , chad came along at just the right time and helped me out . abigail : oh , good . jordan : look , i do n't know anything about why the two of you broke up , but he seemed like a really nice guy , to me . abigail : he probably is a nice guy ... today . he got something off his chest . he vented all of his hatred at me . sami : i 'm sorry . you okay ? roman : yeah . yeah . i 'm okay , sure i am . look , i know you 're trying to make a point here , but come on , comparing your mother to ej , sami ? sami : i was n't doing that -- not really . roman : then what , exactly , were you doing ? sami : i guess i was just trying to say -- that you do n't get to decide who you love . but i know i do n't have to tell you that . i mean , you 're the man who fell in love with kate roberts . a wise man once told me , that `` when you do find true love , you better never take it for granted , 'cause you have to cherish it because it 's a gift . `` roman : you know what , that wise man who told you that , he probably had way too many beers . sami : uh - uh , he was sober . he 's right . he 's my daddy . chad : okay , so , let me make sure i have this right . so i took a bullet for you , and then i almost died . and then i left town and you jumped into the sack with the woman you knew i was still in love with . just for the hell of it . and now you want me to suck it up or you 'll cut me down ? ej : chad , i have apologized for what happened with abigail . and i 've told you , repeatedly , how much it meant to me that you saved my life . i have this chance to bring my family back together . i saw you sidling up to kate this morning , and i do n't know what you 're talking about , i do n't know what you 're planning , but whatever it is , i 'm putting you on notice : you better stop it . or you will regret it . chad : hmm . you know , i wonder what father would think of you threatening me . it might make him wonder what you 'd be willing to do , how far you 'd be willing to go , to get samantha back . see , i 'm kinda wondering that myself . ej : well you better pray to god you do n't find out . kate : so , what are you doing here ? roman : well , i was just at your house , obviously , you were not there . so -- by the way , i do like that new picture you and sami put up where stefano 's used to be . kate : oh yeah , yeah , well that was publicity 's idea . anyway , since you were at the house , did you have a chance to talk some sense into sami about ej ? roman : well , i , uh , tried . but sami reminded me of a couple things i 'd forgotten . kate : like what ? roman : for one , you ca n't always pick who you fall in love with . sonny : i still wish you could 've made it to the game today . will : oh , it 's probably a good thing i did n't . zoe showed up here . sonny : why ? will : uh , pick up my contract . sonny : she ca n't wait for you to put it in the mail ? will : well , she has another assignment for me . sonny : already ? that 's great , what 's it about ? will : chad . chad : hey , how 's it going ? ben : look buddy , unless you 're ordering , i do n't have anything to say to you . chad : oh , come on , benny . ben : after the way you spoke to abigail yesterday , you can just get the hell out of here , pal . chad : whew , well , is that any way to talk to your boss ? jordan : i ca n't believe chad hates you . abigail : you did n't see him last night . jordan : would you excuse me for a second ? i 'll be right back . abigail : wha -- ? uh , okay , sure . jordan : clyde ! yeah , you . rafe : hey , abigail . abigail : hi , hey rafe . how 's gabi doing ? i 've been thinking about her a lot . rafe : well , sonny and will took the baby to see her yesterday . yeah , she 's doing pretty well . abigail : good , i 'm glad . rafe : yeah . anyway , i talked to sonny after we played some basketball . lucas and me against sonny and ben . abigail : oh , really . rafe : yeah , evidently you 're dating a pretty good player . abigail : oh , am i ? rafe : yeah . abigail : well , i would n't know , he 's been holding out on me . rafe : oh , has he ? well -- so you here with your mom ? abigail : um , no , i 'm here with jordan , actually . rafe : oh . abigail : well , i was here with jordan . she got up all of the sudden and said she 'd be right back , and just kinda -- left . i do n't know why . clyde : hey sweetheart , i was just talking to -- jordan : do n't sweetheart me . what the hell is jeremiah doing in salem ? ej : samantha ? your father ? i 'm sorry . sami : [ sobbing ] ej : i 'm so sorry . | roman was upset when he saw sami and ej kissing . roman wondered if she was desperate . chad saved jordan from the guy who grabbed her . zoë wanted will to write a story about chad . will did n't want to write a story about his friend . he also wondered how he was going to write it when chad was thousands of miles away . jordan told chad about her past . zoë told will that chad was back in salem . zoë tried to convince will that it was a good idea for him to write the article since he knows chad . she wanted to give will some time to think about it before he made a decision . roman advised sami not to be with ej again . |

[ soft dramatic music ] will : i do n't blame sonny for anything . lucas : he 's moving on with his life . he 's getting married again . he 's acting like you never existed . will : well , i want him to be happy . and i think you should too . lucas : anybody could be happy . sonny and paul could be happy . adrienne and justin could be happy . i was supposed to get married here , man . i was supposed to get married to her . i sat here -- stood her like a dope and i waited for her to come down the aisle to marry me and it never happened . will : well , maybe ... maybe it was n't meant to be . maybe adrienne was always gon na end up with justin . lucas : is that why you came here ? is that what you came all the way down here to tell me ? that i never had a chance with adrienne ? will : no , dad , i 'm saying that maybe you are meant to be with someone else . lucas : yeah , like who ? will : what about mom ? lucas : sami ? lips lose natural color over time . sonny : oh , the things lucas said about will . jj : mm - hmm . how did sonny react ? paul : he played it off like he was okay , but i know that it brought up a lot of terrible memories and guilt . jj : guilt ? guilt for ... breaking up their relationship ? that was n't sonny 's fault . paul : no , it was mine . jj : well , you did n't know will was sonny 's husband when you guys hooked up . paul : yeah , but once i found out , i ... i should have stepped back and let will and sonny work things out . and maybe if i had ... jj : `` maybe if you had `` what ? will and sonny would have stayed together ? will would n't have been killed ? paul : maybe . jj : stop , paul . nothing that happened was because of you or sonny or anyone else besides that psychopath ben . he murdered will and two other people . he terrorized my sister . he had all of us fooled . paul : it 's just that -- jj : you have nothing to feel guilty for . [ soft music ] look . i thought that sonny would n't get over will , but you brought love and happiness back into his life . you 're the best thing that ever happened to him , man . gabi : yeah , lucas was drunk and he tried to see arianna , so i sent him away . maybe -- i did tell him that you guys were working on the wedding , so maybe he thought you were at the church . abigail : no , do n't worry about it . you had no idea of knowing what he was gon na do . gabi : what did he say ? abigail : what did n't he say ? um ... well , he went after sonny for marrying paul and for abandoning will and then he went on to bash pretty much the entire institution of marriage , so ... gabi : what ? i ca n't believe that i -- that i missed that . i mean , did you at least finish everything you needed to finish before he showed up ? abigail : yeah . yeah , we just needed to let the priest know it was gon na be a double wedding and i think he was pretty surprised . [ chuckles ] gabi : well , yeah , so was i . abigail : i 'm sure that did come as a shock , yeah . did n't really realize what you were getting yourself into when you said arianna could be sonny 's flower girl . gabi : no , but , um ... i mean , look at her . [ chuckles ] she 's really excited . she made me buy her those flowers . abigail : ah , did she ? um ... you know , obviously , you want your daughter to be present for her dad 's wedding , so i guess the question is whether you 've decided whether or not you 're going to be present for mine and chad 's ? sonny : the whole time i was gone , i was thinking about will . missing him . then i got his message . [ somber music ] i 've listened to that thing so many times i pretty much have it memorized . `` i love you so much , sonny . and even if i do n't get the chance to get back together with you , i have to make this right for you . i love you . `` [ quietly ] i love you . [ laughs softly ] i was gon na plan a trip home . i just wanted him to know just how much that message meant to me . and that i still love him . [ sighs ] if i just came home one day earlier , chad . chad : stop . stop . sonny : just one day earlier . chad : sonny . sonny . you have to forgive yourself . it 's what will would want . okay ? he 'd want you to be happy . he 'd want you to fall in love again . and ... he definitely would n't want his father of all people to be the one that stands in the way of that . lucas : you know more than anyone what it was like when your mother and i were together . it was disaster . will : not always . lucas : [ sighs ] we fought all the time . will : mostly over me . lucas : but you were the thing that connected us . i mean , without you , we would have killed each other . will : you and mom loved each other for a long time . lucas : your mother and i , we had a lot of good times together . we raised a lot of hell . will : [ chuckles softly ] and i know you still think about her . lucas : your mom will always hold a special place in my heart . there 's only one sami brady in this world . will : thank god . will : mostly i 'm grateful for you and allie . i know that you wanted your parents to get back together , but ... i 'm sorry , it just does n't look like that 's gon na happen . will : okay . well , if not mom , then how about somebody else ? lucas : have you taken a good look at me lately ? i 'm a belligerent drunk with no job , all right ? i 'm not exactly a catch . will : you ca n't give up on yourself , dad . or on love . lucas : sometimes love gives up on you . will : okay . okay , fine . you wan na give up ? fine . quit . go ahead , quit on life . just fall down to the bottom of that bottle and die . that 's a great way to honor my memory . lucas : [ breathes shakily ] ohn 's disease . jennifer : i know that lucas is drinking again . i tried to get him to go to a meeting with me and he just wo n't do it . kate : did you keep trying ? jennifer : he 's not taking my calls at this point . kate : i tried to get through to him , too , but i think that i just made things worse . jennifer : how ? kate : the first time i found out that he was drinking , i gave him a warning , and then when i caught him again , i fired him . i know . please , do n't judge . jennifer : no , i 'm not judging you . i know you have a business to run . kate : no , it was n't just about the business . i ... i feel so helpless as a parent watching my child lose to an addiction , and i thought that i could give him a wakeup call , and i think that ... it just all backfired . jennifer : there 's no easy answers . i think that you need to let him hit rock bottom and then when he gets to that place , he can pull himself back up . kate : i just hope someone can reach him , jennifer . i really do . before he just throws his entire life away . lucas : you know , i 've already gotten a lecture from your grandmother and jennifer . i do n't need a lecture from my dead son too . will : well ... i am in your head , so you brought me here for a reason . lucas : yeah , because i 'm drunk . that 's the reason . if you 're gon na try to guilt me into going to rehab , you are wasting your time . will : i 've got nothing but time , actually . lucas : yeah , right . that 's what i used to think too . [ soft dramatic music ] will : so that 's your plan ? wallow in your pain instead of dealing with it ? lucas : you got a better one ? sonny : if i could just talk to will one more time . just let him know that i forgive him , and that i never stopped loving him . chad : he knows . trust me . i 'm sure he knows . sonny : [ sighs ] chad : look , things do n't always go as planned . right ? and i know that i 'm stating the obvious , but what i 'm trying to say is , when that happens , you just -- you got ta come up with a new plan . you know , look at me and abby . sonny : you both are getting a second chance . i mean i 'm so happy for you . chad : yeah , so are you . sonny , you are getting a second chance , okay ? paul is your second chance . paul : so before i came along , sonny and will , they were happy , right ? jj : mostly . why ? paul : i mean , i wan na know about them , you know . not just the legend of sonny and will . i wan na know the truth . jj : truth . well ... they fought through a lot to be together . and when they finally were , it just really seemed to work . paul : and sonny seemed happy ? jj : yeah . yeah , he did . he spent all those years traveling around the world . nothing holding him down , but ... will grounded him . so whenever he was around will , he just seemed lighter . like i said , they just worked . sonny : and everyone knew it . jj : yeah , it was kind of hard to miss what they had going on . you know , their connection . paul : so you would say , uh ... it was true love for the both of them ? jj : yeah , i 'd say that . paul . look , man ... if you 're worried that sonny does n't love you as much as he loved will , do n't go there . they 're in the past . you and sonny , you have your whole lives ahead of you . together . gabi : look , it 's your wedding , and you have enough to worry about , so i really do n't want you worrying about me . abigail : look , hey , you 're my friend . your feelings are important to me , okay ? but at the same time , if you do n't wan na come to the wedding , i do understand . what are you thinking right now ? [ soft dramatic music ] gabi : abigail , um ... you know , everything that 's happened has been -- has been really hard . and i know that i 've got plenty of time until i can totally get over it , but i 'm trying and ... every day i 'm getting better and better , and i 've got arianna . she 's my best friend , so , yeah . abigail : so ... does that mean you 're gon na come to the wedding ? gabi : seeing you guys happy and seeing sonny finally marry paul and seeing him happy , that matters more than whatever i 'm feeling . so , yeah , of course i 'm gon na be there . abigail : i really do love you . gabi : and i love you very much too . and just so you know , eli asked me if i wanted to go with him to your wedding , so i wo n't be all that pitiful by myself there . abigail : oh , come on , you 're not pitiful . you 're beautiful and you 're just -- you 're a great person . gabi : so are you . come here . abigail : thanks . so ... eli , huh ? gabi : oh , no , it 's not a -- [ laughs softly ] abigail : i should n't have -- right , yeah . i should n't have said that . gabi : i never -- it 's not a date or anything like that . abigail : i get it , yeah . i 'm just glad you 're gon na be there . gabi : me too . sonny : you know what ? you 're right . i 'm not gon na let lucas 's drunk rant spoil my wedding or even my day . chad : there he is . sonny 's back in the game . sonny : [ laughs ] chad : wan na know why ? 'cause you 're lucky . i mean , how many people get to say that they 're marrying their best friend ? i mean , i ... i do n't know , not many , but you are , yeah ? and you know what ? you and paul , you make a great couple . sonny : well , thank you . and i also wan na apologize . chad : why 's that ? sonny : i just , you know , no one 's gon na be looking at you at your wedding . it 's just -- because i 'm gon na be so damn smashing in my new tuxedo . chad : no . now i may be biased , but i think that they 're gon na be looking at abby . that 's just ... sonny : okay , you 're probably right . and you know what lucas said about most marriages ending in divorce ? chad : screw statistics . sonny : exactly . love is all about beating the odds , and i 'm betting on you and abigail . sonny : oh . sonny : and paul and me . thank you . chad : mm . paul : it 's just -- i mean , it just seems like sonny and will , they were the couple . thee couple . i mean , people talk about their wedding like it was a royal event . how do you live up to that ? jj : you do n't have to . look , man . you and sonny belong together . you guys are the present and the future . just like i said . you and sonny . end of story . paul : yeah . okay , yeah . yeah , you 're right . jj : i know i 'm right . paul : yes . jj : so how about we go get our tuxes so you do n't have to get married in your jeans . paul : you know , i would n't mind that . it 'd be a lot more comfortable . jj : you 're not supposed to be comfortable at your own wedding . paul : [ chuckles ] god forbid .

[ scoffs ] who knows , maybe in his mind he meant it . but it did n't stop the monster that he was , the things that he did . so i 'm sorry , but i can not let you anywhere near my sweet little david . you are just too dangerous . ciara : are you kidding me ? ben is too dangerous ? jordan , the only person in this room who is capable of hurting that little boy -- not to mention anyone else in this town -- is you . anna : when i first lost tony ... i thought i was going to die . and then by some miracle , he came back to me . and now i 'm going to lose him all over again . but i do n't expect you to understand that , because i guess you could never understand somebody that ... loves someone so much they ca n't live without them . kristen : you ... you are so wrong . anna : [ huffs ] kristen : you are . i - i - i feel love . i feel it ... as intensely and as passionately as anyone else , even more so . when i 'm not in the presence of the person that i love ... i mean , my heart , it just -- it aches . so , to put it succinctly , i am the quintessential romantic . anna : quintessential romantic ? [ laughs ] wow , that 's amazing . does that mean you 'll help me ? kristen : [ exhales ] yeah . yes . i will help you get the love of your life back ... if you help me get mine . brady : what do you mean ? what do you mean you understand how i feel ? john : course i do . brady , do n't forget , once upon a time , i was in love with kristen too . and i felt that same pull towards her , so trust me -- trust me when i say i know very well the power that she has over a man . brady : [ laughs ] damn . how do i fight it , dad ? how do i fight it ? i mean , it was one thing when i knew she was locked up for the rest of her life , right ? but now i know ... i know she 's out there . i know she 's in salem . she 's roaming around . how the hell am i supposed to stay out of her bed ? how do i stay away from her ? i do n't know how to do it . anna : how can i help you get brady ? kristen : you never heard the power of persuasion ? hmm ? anna : [ chuckling ] you expect me to talk him into loving you ? kristen : no , brady already loves me . he just ... he needs a little help accepting that fact . anna : right . well ... [ chuckles ] even if i was willing to try , tony 's trial is today . and i could talk to brady until the end of time , but i 'm not sure i could convince him , given that huge time constraint , that being with you would be in his best interest . kristen : yeah . you 're right , you 're right . it 's a dumb idea . i expect someone like you to help someone like me -- god forbid . anna : no , no , no , i - i - i would if i could . i 'm just saying -- kristen : oh , what are you just saying , that you 're not even gon na give it a chance , give it a try ? no , no , no , you know what you can do , anna ? this is what you 're going to do , hmm ? you 're gon na go to your beloved tony and you 're gon na tell him that you 're gon na wear something very special for his first conjugal visit . maybe you can go as a dominatrix ? maybe he likes the naughty nurse type ? you know , does it matter ?

'cause all it takes is one post or one thread and the thing goes viral . so hopefully you can nip it in the bud before it 's too late . kate : yeah , well , you know , once it 's out there , i do n't know what i can do about it . rafe : well , these things are a lot more traceable than most people think . so ... get it removed in time , i 'm sure you and sami will be just fine . kate : well , that is so reassuring . you know what i think i 'm gon na do , i 'm gon na do my part , and i 'm gon na prepare mad world just in case the tide turns . sami . sami : kate . kate : hey . okay , there 's been a change in tactics . delete the postings . immediately . sami : oh , my god , that was amazing . rafe : i 'm sorry . i did not mean to interrupt , but she was just going on and on . i could n't help myself . sami : are you kidding me ? of course ! that was awesome . you -- i know how good it feels to give kate a taste of her own medicine , and you were fantastic . you really came to my rescue . rafe : yeah , well , let 's not read too much into it , okay ? sami : sure . i mean , you know , it 's happened a couple of times lately . rafe : yeah , well , it 's not like she was trying to mug you . sami : well , ha , no . but certainly kate 's version . it just makes me curious , you know , why you go out of your way for me . makes me think that maybe you , um , still care about me . rafe : [ snorts ] kate : two olives , right ? victor : who let you in here ? kate : henderson . and do n't you be too hard on him . you know he 's always had a soft spot for me . victor : what do you want ? kate : well , we need to discuss business . victor : be quick . i have n't got all day . kate : okay . i wan na know exactly how we 're going to crush sami , brady , and countess wilhelmina in one fell swoop . okay , you 're in a mood . victor : how astute of you ? no wonder sami 's never been able to get the drop on you . kate : mm . obviously this is not a good time . let me guess . trouble in paradise ? victor . come on . you know you can talk to me . brady : hey , hey , hey . if you ever talk to me about madison like that again , i 'm gon na put you through a wall , all right ? chad : you 're right . i 'm -- i ... was completely out of line . i -- i do n't know why i said that . brady : chad , what is wrong with you ? chad : i do n't know , okay ? look , i know that you saved melanie . and i owe you everything . i 'm really sorry , okay , but i 'm just -- i 'm under a lot of pressure right now , okay ? brady : i can see that . let me take a stab at why . is he name nick fallon ? chad : yeah . brady : if you 're under all this pressure , do you think now is the right time to get married ? honestly ? chad : i mean , i love melanie . and i wan na be with her . i want -- i wan na marry her . brady : i understand that . i 'm not saying do n't marry her . all i 'm suggesting to you is maybe take a step back and let everyone get adjusted to the way things are right now . chad : and what if i do n't see the point in waiting ? brady : the point is that getting married supposed to be the happiest time in your life , and this is clearly not that . chad , just take it easy . just take it easy . take a couple months , whatever it takes . but step back , reevaluate ... or this thing might fall apart . is that what you want ? maggie : i 'm sorry you feel i do n't approve of what you 're doing . melanie : because you do n't . maggie : i 'm just concerned , melanie . melanie : yeah , i know . that 's what you keep saying . i do n't understand why adrienne is the only one that 's happy for me . maggie : adrienne ? melanie : yeah . see , when i told her , she had the kind of reaction that i was hoping you would have . 'cause she was happy for me . and she hugged me and she said she was excited and that she could n't wait to see me and chad walk down the aisle . maggie : honey , i repeat . i still do n't understand what the rush is in doing this . melanie : why does it matter ? i wan na get married . why is n't that enough ? why does it ... matter if it 's two weeks or two years , grandma ? maggie : oh , melanie . melanie : you know what ? no . i do n't wan na do this . i have a fitting for my wedding dress that i 'm gon na wear when i walk down the aisle with the man i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life with , and i do n't wan na focus on you and everybody else thinking that i 'm making a big mistake . maggie : you 're right . you should n't have to think about that . you do know that i love you with all my heart . and if you think this is really the right thing for you and the right time , and if this is what you really want , then no more questions , no more ambivalence . i support you , 100 % . i 'd consider it a great privilege to watch you walk down the aisle . melanie : so what 's the catch ? maggie : no catch . i 've come around , that 's all . i want what 's best for you . do n't listen to what i say or what anybody else tells you . you listen to your heart . because you , my dear , sweet girl , you 're strong ... and you 're smart ... and brave . and i believe in you . and that 's all i have to say . it 's what i should 've been telling you all along . what can you do with curly , frizzy hair ? bo : hey . this is it . hope : hey . bo : my list is complete . hope : wow ! you have a lot to choose from . bo : yeah . i mean , most of it 's kind of crazy stuff , but ... that 's kind of fun , you know ? thinking about my dreams , my aspirations ... putting them on paper . it 's rather liberating . hope : feel like leaving the force will be liberating , a relief ? bo : you bet . wo n't be getting up every morning to go into the office and bang my head against the wall . hope : oh , my god , seriously ? you are the biggest exaggerator . bo : oh , yeah . hope : brady , it has not been that bad . bo : how many times , over the last few years , have we sworn to get the dimeras ? make them pay for what they 've done . hope : a few . bo : a few hundred times , yeah . and what happens every single time ? nothing . and we both know how that feels . hope : yeah , all too well . bo : and is it gon na change ? no . every time we get close to nailing them , they jump through a loophole , they pay off a judge , a mayor , a governor . this last time , they worked for the friggin ' fbi . hope : okay , no more caffeine for you . clearly , you 're very passionate about this . bo : no , i 'm -- i 'm fed up is what i am . and there is nothing on this list that 's gon na be anywhere near that frustrating . hope : well , i 'm happy to hear that . because the last thing i would ever want is a frustrated husband . it 's true . the system has tied our hands almost every which way we turn . bo : got that right . you know what ? i been thinking . hope : yeah ? what have you been thinking ? what ? bo : nothing . hope : no , do n't do that . brady , that 's not fair . bo : oh , my goodness . look at the time . hope : oh , you are so lucky . time for me to go bang my head up against the wall for both of us . bo : yeah , i 've got another hour or so , so i 'll catch you later . hope : okay . mwah . love you . bo : love you too . hope : i 'll see you later , brady -- you 'll do fine with it . bo : all right . hope : hey . bo : hmm ? hope : astronaut , cowboy , indian -- i love you . bo : mm . thanks . hope : no matter what . bo : love you too . okay . if i was n't a cop , my hands would n't be tied . better not put that on the list . rafe : come on , sami . why are you doing this , huh ? sami : wha -- what am i doing ? i just wan na know what 's going on . i wan na know how you feel . i mean , look , when you walked out , i thought i was never gon na see you again . rafe : yeah , for good reason . sami : yes . but now here you are , and it just seems like we 've seen each other a lot lately . you telling me to stay away from ej . rafe : well , that 's just common sense . sami : why do you care who i date ? i mean , if you 've moved on and that 's final and that 's the truth , then that 's something i can deal with . but it just seems like everything that 's been happening -- i just wan na know . i wan na know the truth . rafe : the truth . okay , um ... i thought i would never get past what happened . i mean , how you broke up our marriage , how i felt every time i looked at you because of that . sami : but ... rafe : i do n't know . i do n't know . sami : well , then let me tell you how i feel . every time i look at you , i am so mad at myself for what i did . i do n't understand of how i could let go of something -- how could i not -- i 'm talking too much already . rafe : no , no , no . sami : [ clears throat ] rafe : it 's okay . sami : i just would like time . if it 's okay with you , i think we could just talk , you know ? i mean , maybe we could just sit down somewhere and talk about everything and just ... just see where it goes . victor : once again , your ... keen powers of observation have betrayed you . my mood has got nothing to do with maggie . kate : then what ? victor : chad dimera . he 's in a rush to marry melanie in a misguided attempt to try and protect her from nick fallon . kate : oh . and you have objections ? victor : many . i could handle the whole nick situation with one call . kate : well , then why do n't you ? oh . did maggie say no ? that woman can be such a goodie two shoes sometimes . maggie : oh , and one of my shoes is about to kick your behind out of here , kate . you have exactly ten second . 10 ... 9 ... kate : thanks for the drink . maybe next time i 'll be able to finish it . maggie : do n't count on it . kate : buh - bye . victor : i can explain , maggie . maggie : victor ... i love you . kate 's gone . so perhaps it 's best if you quit while you 're ahead . i missed you . melanie : hi . nick : hey . sorry , um , i was just -- i was just going . melanie : no , do n't . please . nick : do n't worry . you 're not chasing me off . i just -- i have to get back to work . melanie : no , it 's okay . i mean , i was looking for you . nick : i do n't understand . melanie : we need to talk ... about everything . hope : and , uh , i 'm hearing some other things about you too , bo . bo : it 's all just talk right now . we have n't made any decisions . hope : hey , theo . so good to see you , sweetheart . i 've missed you . theo : you too , aunt hope . hope : and you too , dad . abe : oh . hope : oh , abe . how are you guys doing ? abe : we 're doing just fine . hope : yeah ? abe : yeah . right ? nick : hey , little man . you lost ? what 's your name ? i 'm nick . abe : uh , theo , you know better than to wander off , huh ? come on . maggie : you have your nerve . you know that ? i mean , just because you do n't like what 's going on , it does n't mean that you can call in a fix on the situation . victor : why not ? do n't you wan na stop her from marrying this clown ? wait a minute . she 's not pregnant , is she ? maggie : no ! victor : then i do n't understand what the rush is . what 's changed ? brady : i think i know what 's changed . it 's nick fallon , is n't it ? maggie : i have my suspicions . i just suspect that maybe chad is doing this in order to protect her . victor : oh , good god . brady : did you tell melanie that ? maggie : i did , but it did n't go over very well . she was very unhappy that i was n't happy . brady : all right , then . i 'm gon na find chad ... and i 'm gon na try to talk him into slowing things down , okay ? maggie : thank you , thank you . victor : i 'll have henderson bring the car around . maggie : no , uh , um -- victor . you 're gon na be like a bull in a china shop . um , i need for you to stay here and do nothing . victor : not exactly my forte . maggie : i know . try it , okay ? i 'll call you from the car . | chad asked melanie to leave salem with him . she wanted to know why he wanted to leave . hope met bo at the pub . bo was deciding what he could do if he left the police force . rafe and nicole were at the coffee shop talking about ej . they knew he had a game plan and wanted to be ready for him . gabi interrupted them and wanted to talk to rafe . she noticed that he had a bruise on his head . lucas showed up at sami 's apartment because he 's taking allie to a sleepover . lucas wanted sami to keep the drama in her life to a minimum while allie was with her . sami let lucas know that ej and rafe 's fight was n't about her , but lucas did n't agree with that . chad told melanie that he wanted to live anywhere in the world . melanie wanted to know when chad started lying to her . melanie put two and two together and thought chad proposed to her to get her away from nick . chad said that he wanted to protect her and did n't want nick to hurt her . melanie said that it was n't his fault . chad flashed back to when gabi said it was his fault that he did n't tell her that he did n't have feelings for her . rafe and gabi talked about how he got in a fight with ej . gabi thought it was over sami . rafe insisted that he was n't interested in sami . lucas and sami continued to talk about the fight between ej and rafe as well as about will 's life . lucas told sami that he was n't the least bit interested in her anymore . they continued to talk about that until lucas left . gabi told rafe that he was the happiest she 'd ever seen him when he was with sami . hope advised bo to do something that he really loved . abe and theo arrived at the pub too . abe told bo and hope how he heard about the cutbacks . bo let abe know that he did n't make any decisions about his future yet . theo saw nick and ran to him . abe quickly got theo away from nick and reminded him about running off . kate ran into sami at the town square . kate heard about the problems that were happening at countess w. sami was in the dark about it . kate let sami know that there was going to be an investigation about the overseas factories at countess w. kate told sami about the multiple label law violations going on with the company . sami could n't believe that was happening . |
sami : ej , what are you doing here ? i - i thought you were gon na go with justin . ej : justin said he would handle it . i thought i should be here with you to reassure you . sami : you could reassure me by telling me what the hell is going on . hope : no , i ca n't give you more time . i 'm the one who 'll be called on the carpet . just do it . abe : forensics ? hope : yeah , they 're all over it , but they need more time . abe : no , no , we do n't have it . hope : i know , so i authorized another squad . abe : ye , i want the `` a `` team on this . we need accuracy . we can not afford mistakes . justin : what kind of mistakes ? i want some answers . we are in recess , and i have no idea why . enlighten me . jordan : good . rafe : yeah ? jordan : yes . i know it probably does n't feel like it , but you 're making real progress . rafe : thanks . jordan : it 's a fact , not a compliment . rafe : i know . i was just thanking you for helping me . jordan : it 's my job . rafe : yeah . i wonder where kate is . i could use some caffeine . jordan : my guess is ms . roberts is berating the barista because the foam on your latte is n't fun enough . rafe : oh , my god . jordan : what ? what is it ? rafe : i do n't believe it . jordan : what ? is something wrong ? rafe : wrong , no . it 's like a miracle , actually . jordan ridgeway , the most serious of all medical professionals , actually just made a joke . [ laughs ] it 's kind of funny . hey . daniel : thank you so much for doing this . maggie : oh , yeah , spending time with my grandson -- it 's a real trial . daniel : yeah . maggie : so how long you gon na be ? daniel : i 'm not sure , but i will -- i 'll keep you posted . maggie : so does this spur - of - the - moment trip have anything to do with jennifer or jj ? daniel : no , it 's something i 'm doing to help eric . matt : i offered a mass for your sister this morning . eric : me too . matt : you know , i have a feeling when the trial 's over , you 're gon na start feeling better . eric : well , that depends on whether she 's free or she 's doing time in the state house , right ? i 'm sorry . matt : do n't apologize . you have enough on your plate . eric : father , i know that you think i 'm stressed , and i 'm not saying that i 'm not . it 's just ... [ clears throat ] [ sighs ] it 's this dream . i just -- it never changes . matt : and you do n't even know who the person is ? eric : that 's what 's so strange . i never see the woman 's face , but i know that i know her . brady : ooh , ooh . kristen : okay . nicole : ooh , aye - yi - yi - yi . brady : are you all -- kristen : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . nicole : no problem . kristen : well , i think you actually bumped into brady . what 's wrong -- still a little tipsy ? brady : little -- still a little -- what were you wasted last night ? kristen : more like this morning . then again , it 's always 5 : 00 somewhere , right ? abe : you are not welcome in here right now , counselor . justin : abe , come on , i need to know if you have anything , anything to help sami . hope : you heard the commissioner -- out . justin : hope , come on . hope : let us do our job . justin -- justin : hope ! hope : trust us . [ phone rings ] hope : brady . got it . abe : all right , i 'll call forensics , tell them to keep on this . meanwhile , you and i better handle this personally . sami : will you please just tell me what is going on ? ej : i do n't know . sami : then lie ! god , ca n't you just make something up ? i 'm sorry . no . that was my fault . i 'm sorry . i should n't be yelling at you . i should n't be taking this out on you . it 's just this whole thing is driving me insane , ej . every little thing seems to make that trial just last forever . ej : samantha , look , i know this situation is awful for you . and -- and i 'm really not just saying this . i think things may be looking up . you heard what justin said . that prosecutor did not look happy . sami : so this could be good for me . or i could just be getting my hopes up for nothing . so tell me -- what do you think ? i mean , at the end of the day , are they gon na take me away from you ... from my kids , from my life ? stefano : if somehow ... samantha gets out of this mess , one way or the other ... you are gon na live here in this house ... as my son . you are gon na work with me , side by side . you and your entire family are gon na live in this house , my house ... until ... i want it otherwise . ej : yes . samantha , that is not going to happen . we just need to keep the faith . sami : we just need to believe that this is finally what will make these bars disappear . i love that just washed freshness , sami : ej , i - i want you to be honest with me . i know i have this way of making myself the center of attention . ej : well , no , let me stop you there . you are the center of attention , because wherever you go , you are the most interesting person in any room . sami : do n't be nice to me , ej . ej : i will stop immediately . sorry . sami : you have been there for me . you have been my rock since this whole thing started , and you -- you have done everything for me . and i know that i have not returned the favor . if i get sent away , i know what it will cost you , and -- ej : samantha -- sami : ej , i 'm just really sorry . ej : hey , stop -- stop it . stop worrying about me , okay ? loving you and supporting you , that 's what keeps me going . that 's what i live for . kate : such levity . i did n't know physical therapy could be so lighthearted . rafe : yeah , who knew , right ? ms. ridgeway just located my funny bone . kate : really ? how nice for you . rafe : yeah , turns out she actually has a rather droll outlook on , uh , things . kate : [ chuckles ] oh . so what did she say that was so droll ? oh , come on . seriously , i could really use a good laugh right now . rafe : no , okay . i was wondering what was taking you so long , right ? and so she was -- you know , you just kind of had to be here . kate : okay , so -- but i was n't here , you know . and the reason i was n't here , the reason i was so late is that this barista , i swear , i 'm sure she could n't even spell her job title . she could not get the order straight . i mean , i do n't know what is so difficult about a no - foam , low - caf latte , but , i mean , it 's not like it 's quantum physics . what 's so funny ? rafe : [ laughs ] nothing . i 'm -- kate : oh . oh , i get it . i 'm what 's so funny , right ? rafe : no , kate , listen , um , jordan had just painted a verbal picture of you and the barista , and , um , it just turns out that she was rather accurate in her depiction . kate : [ chuckles ] oh , my god , how funny that is , right ? so university hospital now has their very own kathy griffin , complete with verbal pictures . how amazing . jordan : well , i think i should be going . i 'll check in on you later , detective hernandez . kate : yeah , be sure to spread that merriment , 'cause god knows everyone loves -- loves a joke at someone else 's expense . [ chuckles ] [ door closes ] rafe : okay . um , should i call salem p.d . ? 'cause evidently your sense of humor has gone missing . kate : yeah , whatever . you just shut up , okay ? 'cause i am known for my sense of humor . rafe : oh , are you really ? kate : yes , i am , and you need to drink this before it gets cold . maggie : i do n't understand . what are you doing for father eric ? daniel : it 's just a project i 'm helping him with -- you know , quick day trip . maggie : right . well , i guess i was hoping it was something to do to help jennifer . daniel : i know . maggie : daniel , this is such an awful mess . daniel : well , if there was something constructive i could do , i would . i just -- you know , you 're right . it 's just an awful mess . maggie : and it 's not like you to do nothing . daniel : there 's nothing to do . maggie : unless if jennifer is trying to get jj to move back home , then your being around would kind of get in the way . i keep waiting for you to say i 'm wrong . daniel : hey , you said it , not me . maggie : hmm . eric : father , i -- please . i do n't mean to keep harping about the same subject . the dream really bothers me . and , yes , i understand there 's nothing we can do about our dreams . matt : except pray . eric : yes , and i 'm doing that , but at least i know there 's something concrete i can do about the other thing that bothers me . matt : the reason you got sick at that hotel . eric : i 've cleared my schedule for today . maybe i can finally get some answers . if i 'm not able to solve both of those riddles , at least maybe i can solve one of them . brady : nicole , i do n't understand . nicole : there 's nothing to understand . i went to an early brunch with an old friend , and we had a couple mimosas that went straight to my head . i 'm sober as a judge now , and i do n't need help standing on my feet . but thank you for helping me before , even though i did n't need it . kristen : you know what ? i did n't need you attacking me earlier . so i guess we 're kind of even then , huh ? brady : excuse me . hold on a sec . you attacked her ? kristen : mm - hmm . brady : why ? nicole : do i really need a reason ? daniel : okay . thank you again for taking care of parker . call me if you need anything . maggie : we 'll be fine . i 'll pick him up from joanna in about an hour . daniel : oh , that 'd be great . thank you . yes , indeed , it will be an hour . maggie : okay . i love you . listen , by the way , this project you 're doing for eric -- is he all right ? daniel : uh , he 's okay . but i 'm hoping when we 're done , he 'll be doing even better . okay . thank you . matt : are you sure you 're up for that drive to the capital ? eric : it 's better than staying around here driving myself crazy . i mean , there 's nothing that i can really do for sami but pray for her . you know , on my way , i 'll pray for her . when i get there , when i get back to that hotel room , maybe i 'll have some answers . you know , i 've been told he helps those who help themselves . brady : just tell me what happened . nicole : whoa , wait a minute . you 're the one that got yourself engaged to a lying , sociopathic drama queen , and i 'm the one who has to explain myself ? it was nothing . it was , like , a stupid little incident . brady : incident ? well , she said that you attacked her . nicole : oh , well , give her the chance , and she 'd call it world war iii . i 'm so done here . there 's no time . good - bye . brady : did you exaggerate ? kristen : is that what you want to believe ? brady : i just want to know the truth . kristen : okay , well , the truth is she is a sad , pathetic human being , and i 'm not the only one that thinks that , or marlena would n't have stood up for me . brady : marlena stood up for you ? kristen : she did . i know . i was shocked too . but clearly it 's because nicole is out of control , and she 's over the top . and people like that , you know , they just want to lash out and blame everybody else for their problems . i hate this . i can tell you 're upset , and i want to talk to you , but i have that errand to run . you want to go with me ? brady : no , no , no , no . let 's , uh -- let 's meet up later , okay ? kristen : all right . you know , i 'm just reveling in the irony that i 'm gon na end up with a man with a big , fat heart . brady : you just might . all right , i 'll see you -- see you later . kristen : okay , bye . rafe : you 're not actually really mad that jordan made a little funny , are you ? kate : no . of course not . no , i 'm not . i mean , i do n't know , though . if you 're asking me , maybe i should be . rafe : oh , come on . you have to admit that jordan being a little less than totally serious about anything is ... wow . kate : oh , yeah . yeah , wow . hope : rafe . excuse us . uh , we need to talk . rafe : what happened ? is it about sami ? hope : no , she 's fine , but we need to go over something about the case with you . and there 's not much time . would you excuse us ? kate , we need to talk to rafe alone . ej : justin , what 's going on ? justin : something big , but i do n't know what . abe and hope are psyched about something but are completely tight - lipped . sami , i think you have reason to be optimistic . ej : why ? justin : because they are -- they want this to be airtight , so they 're dotting the `` i '' s , crossing their `` t '' s. i mean , do you really think they 'd be working this hard on something if it could possibly hurt sami ? ej : no . justin : they 're doing everything they can to get you out of here , to get you home . rafe : yeah . there 's definitely something familiar about her . abe : can you be more specific ? rafe : got it . i got -- bernardi knew her . yeah . yeah , i remember him talking to her when we 'd , uh -- we 'd be working or when we were at the pub . every time he saw her , he would always go up to her and say hello . hope : how many times did that happen ? rafe : i do n't know . maybe a couple times . hope : okay , there 's something else we need to go over with you . there was a night before everything went down that bernardi called in sick . now , according to the , uh -- the station log , you covered for him that night . rafe : yeah . okay , uh , he was not sick . actually , he just wanted to take marge and timmy out for a nice dinner , so he asked me to cover for him . abe : do you remember the name of the place ? rafe : i do n't think he told me . it was , uh ... no , actually , it was an italian place . yeah , uh ... `` ver '' -- '' ver `` something . abe : verducci ? rafe : yeah , that 's it . abe : it 's a quiet place way on the other side of town that 's known for one thing -- not the linguini . they 're very , very discreet . rafe : whoa , whoa , wait a second . are you saying ... that joe and this woman ... wow . they were having an affair , were n't they ? okay , so , if he was having an affair ... abe : we did n't say that . rafe : okay , what does this mean for sami ? bernardi was obviously not quite the family man he made himself out to be , huh ? abe : you know , why do n't i move on and you finish up here ?

i mean , you 're so talented , i -- thank you . thank you . chloe : no , you 're welcome . and you know what , i 'm here for you for any help you need . it 's important to have somebody support you when you 're in this business . claire : you 've got philip . chloe : i do . and this baby will be -- [ knocking at the door ] claire : i 'll get it . grandma . hi , um , i 'm actually working right now , so -- marlena : no , actually , you 're not working . you 're coming with me . claire : no , but i -- marlena : no arguments about it . claire : grandma ! marlena : sorry . sorry . chloe : it 's okay . take care . nice to see you , marlena . eduardo : my guess is the m.e . will rule that the broken neck was caused by the accident , so ... i 'll skate on that , but those three bastards going free , that 's all on me , man . the van ran off the road , i hit my head , i blacked out , i came to , and -- and they were gone . john : they had to figure this was just their lucky day . eduardo : john , i had no idea who they were . if i had i , you know i would have -- john : yeah . eduardo : i ca n't go to the police . john : no , no , no , no , no . you 've come to the right place . after all ... we were trained to control situations just like this . rafe : i know how much you care about jj . gabi : yeah , i 'm just worried about him , you know , he 's -- he 's been through a lot . rafe : yeah . gabi : first his dad , then paige , and now his sister . rafe : yes , and when you lose someone you love , the ... pain can be overwhelming . you want that pain to go away so bad or to never happen , that you will do anything . you 'll take risks , you 'll make bad decisions . gabi : yeah , like when we lost our sister . rafe : yeah . and when you got in trouble . gabi : you -- you crossed a line for me . you lied for me . you know , you -- you kept it a secret that you even knew i was involved in melanie 's kidnapping . rafe : well , i could n't risk losing you . gabi : yeah , but you lost your job because of that . rafe : i got it back , did n't i ? gabi : yeah , thank god . rafe : yeah , well , i did . gabi : okay , well , never mind . let 's not even -- that 's over and done with , and you 're never gon na have to cover for somebody like that again . rafe : yeah . yeah . you know , you ... do what you have to do -- when the time -- you do what feels right .

[ suspenseful music ] marlena : claire . claire , wait a minute . claire : no , i 'm never gon na forgive you . you know , you totally humiliated me in front of chloe . she 's my boss . marlena : you listen to me . you were not supposed to be there . claire : i just do n't understand why i 'm in trouble for going to work . you know , everybody 's always riding me -- '' be responsible , be responsible , `` and then when i am , i 'm still doing everything wrong . marlena : i understand that . and i know that you are very , very responsible . you are very independent , and you are a very strong young woman . those are things that i love about you . but claire , you made a commitment . you promised you would not leave the house without telling john or telling me . claire : okay , well , that was last night . i went to work this morning . marlena : listen carefully to me right now . these men that escaped from prison -- one is named orpheus . he has sworn to hurt john , and me , and one way that he would do that would be by hurting our family , and that would mean you . gabi : look , i do n't know how i feel about what 's going on between jj and i or what 's not going on . i 'm just -- i guess we 're fine the way we are right now . i do n't know . rafe : i feel you . right ? i mean , why talk about it if you do n't have to . gabi : exactly . rafe : yeah . gabi : hey , listen , i know it 's hard for you to get away from work , but i 'm glad you came out here to have breakfast . it 's just -- it 's nice when we really sit down and talk . and i know that you do n't have all the answers for me , and i can work things out on my own , but ... it 's nice to have somebody who will listen . rafe : yeah . well , i learned a long time ago that i definitely do not have all the answers . in fact , i do n't really have that many answers , but you know what ? anytime you want to talk , i 'm here for you . just call me . i 'm a good listener . gabi : thanks . [ dramatic music ] philip : green tea , no sugar , guaranteed to make you walk even sooner . maggie : oh . you did n't have to do that . philip : well , i wanted to . and look , deimos is gone . let me guess , you splashed water on him and he melted . maggie : he had things to do . philip : probably more phony speeches to write . maggie : philip , i realize you 're angry . and god help me , but i know how stubborn a kiriakis man can be . but i think deimos ' heart -- if he has one -- is in the right place . philip : you bought all that garbage ? maggie : he wants to reunite the family . now , victor wo n't admit it , but he wants you back in his life . and these criminals on the loose , they 're just a constant threat to everyone , and it 's got victor terribly rattled . could you maybe take that as an opportunity to reconcile with him ? philip : why is this so important to you ? maggie : because i love my husband , and i love his only living son . [ laughs ] plus , i 'm selfish . i 'd love for chloe to have parker in this house , so i could see my grandson anytime that i want . philip : deimos is not interested in parker . all he 's interested in is that baby chloe 's carrying . maggie : philip , this is important . you , chloe , parker , this unborn baby would be safer here . would you at least try and talk to chloe ? rafe : i will definitely keep an eye on jj , but i need you to promise me something too . be careful . i do n't think that you 're a target , but these guys are wackos . if they think there 's any way they can use you or arianna to get to someone like marlena or john , they will . gabi : okay , i 'll be careful . i promise . rafe : okay , girl , please . i love you . gabi : thanks , rafe . i love you too . eduardo : think i could get one of those ? gabi : oh , my gosh , papa , what are you doing here ? i missed you so much ! eduardo : i missed you too , kid , so good to see you . hey , man . rafe : hey . eduardo : hey . hey . rafe : how you doing ? i did n't expect to see you . i thought that , you know , the threats were -- eduardo : yeah , no , the threats are over . they 're over . rafe : good . eduardo : yeah , yeah . although this is a pretty dangerous time for everybody in town , i heard , 'cause three convicts escaped ? rafe : yeah , all convicted of violent crimes . i do n't know how the hell they got out , but ... it 's not good . gabi : are you staying for good ? eduardo : well , for the foreseeable future at least . gabi : oh , i 'm so happy you 're here , i missed you so much . dario : well , i 'm sure as hell not . paul : see , i 've come to know my dad pretty well . he gets so wrapped up in his work , he forgets to have breakfast . john : oh , really ? what , and you 're gon na make me an offer that i -- ahh , ca n't refuse ! [ both laughing ] john : mmm . paul : ahh . john : thanks . paul : mm - hmm . so , you think that salem p.d . would mind if we joined in on the manhunt for those creeps ? john : i 'm sure roman could use all the help that he could get , in fact , i 've got the ball rolling in that . paul : how 's your arm ? john : well , it 's all right . it 's just tired . it 's kind of like , i suppose , if you threw both ends of a doubleheader , you know ? oh , listen , i been meaning to tell you . you made some -- some impressive , quick , and penetrative moves at victor 's . i was so proud of you , kid . paul : thanks . john : yeah . also i wanted to tell you that if i ever give you the green light to do something like that again , do n't you ever risk your life . you got that , kid ? paul : [ laughs ] i got it .

[ easygoing guitar music ] how you doing ? lani : why does everyone keep asking me that ? abe : because we care . val told me you talked . lani : she had no right telling you my personal business . abe : whoa . hold on there . hang on . no confidences were spilled . she just -- she was just concerned . lani : sorry . abe : hey . you want to tell your old man all about it ? kayla : i 'm sorry . the results are n't ready yet . lucas : i mean , that baby ca n't be mine , right ? i mean , what are the odds , really ? kayla : well , it -- it just takes one time , you know . lucas : i know . i know it takes one time , kayla , but with bonnie lockhart , and -- and me passed out drunk like i was ? no way . there 's no way . although , when i looked into that baby 's eyes , i did see something . i mean , i did see something . there was a connection there . so what if that baby is mine ? then what do i do , huh ? what then ? kayla : i ... i think that you are getting ahead of yourself . i think the best thing you can do right now is to not drive yourself crazy . lucas : yeah , i know , i know . you 're right , you 're right , you 're right , you 're right . i got ta calm down and just be rational about the whole thing . right ? i mean , if the baby 's mine , then i -- i got ta own up . i g -- i got ta -- i got ta face my responsibilities . kayla : 'cause that 's who you are . lucas : i 'm also the guy who was so drunk that he slept with a woman pretending to be a woman that she was n't , and i did n't remember anything . bonnie : lucas has the right to know that he has a daughter . chloe : except she 's not his . this is just another one of your scams . bonnie : what ticks you off more , that lucas has a baby girl , or that he made sweet love to me ? chloe : you 're nothing but a con artist who ended up exactly where you belong : in prison , and that 's where you 're going back to . bonnie : well , i do n't think lucas would let the mother of his child languish behind bars , dear . chloe : how can you use an innocent child to save yourself ? any mother -- any real mother -- would protect their child , would do anything for them -- something you know nothing about . bonnie : i would do anything for my children , and i have , because i love them . chloe : really ? okay , you know what ? this sick game ends now . bonnie : a game ? game ? do you really think that i would -- i would agree to a dna test if i was trying to pull something ? chloe : well , you did switch places with adrienne , so if anyone could figure out how to fake paternity results , it would be you . bonnie : oh , chloe lane . i laid down with that man , got knocked up , and had myself a beautiful child , and you and lucas can lie to yourselves all you want , but once those results come back , t - ruth time , and you 're just gon na have to accept it .

[ suspenseful music ] [ quiet intriguing music ] chad : is , uh , spending time with my wife and son a bad idea ? gabi : no , no . i know ... i know you want to spend time with them , but i - i saw abigail last night , and i -- chad : and what ? did -- did something happen ? gabi : abigail is , um , she 's just -- you know , she 's showing quite a bit , and i know you 've worked really hard to come to terms with -- with her carrying stefan 's baby . i know you want to make it work , but maybe , chad -- maybe -- i do n't know . chad : what ? maybe what ? gabi : i know that you love spending time with abigail and thomas . d -- i get that . do n't you think that when you see her , all you 're gon na see is ... stefan 's baby growing inside of your wife 's belly ? lucas : ca n't believe it . i ca n't believe i slept with bonnie lockhart . even when i knew it was n't adrienne , i did n't let that stop me . no . i kept going . why would i do that ? why ? kayla : do not beat yourself up over this . come on . lucas : how could i not beat myself up ? kayla : you are being too hard on yourself . you know , bonnie fooled all of us , too , and we were sober . lucas : i know , i know , i know . you 're right . i know . i know . but it 's the shame of it . and now i got ta tell chloe . i - i got ta tell chloe , not only did i sleep with bonnie , but there might be a kid ? and chloe 's understanding . she 's -- she 's beyond supportive , but this -- i do n't know . this ... she 's not gon na want to stick around for this . it 's gon na be even too much , even for her . [ uneasy music ] chloe : is this kid even yours ? bonnie : [ snorts ] what kind of question is that ? chloe : well , you bail out of town , and you come back with a baby , and let 's be honest here : is n't that uterus of yours just a bit dusty to carry a child ? bonnie : ooh , cheap shot . that the best you got ? 'cause really , honey , i do n't have anything to prove to you , because this whole thing is between lucas and me , which means it 's none of your business . chloe : uh , that 's where you 're wrong . bonnie : what , because you 're his girlfriend ? well , let me tell you something , sweetheart . once these tests come back and prove that lucas and i share this child , there 's just gon na not be no room in our little family for you . [ percussive music ] chloe : there 's no way in hell that i 'm gon na let that happen . bonnie : oh , please , honey . is that a threat ? 'cause you know what ? i spent ten long years in statesville . i fended off murderers and psychos and thieves , and let me tell you something , sweetheart : you 're just an opera singer . so go sing your song somewhere else , before i show you what scary really is . chloe : have you heard of el fideo ? bonnie : [ scoffs ] way to change the subject , girl . well , of course i have . who has n't ? he made scarface look like a teddy bear , until somebody rubbed him out . why ? chloe : because that someone was me . sheila : you 're a daddy ? hot , suave , changing diapers ? spit up on your collar ? no , i 'm sorry , i just do n't see it . [ laughs ] eli : the baby died . sheila : oh , i 'm s -- i 'm sorry . lani : eli and i ... we 've had these ... these moments . abe : you think there 's something between you ? lani : that 's what i talked to valerie about . i do n't know . maybe , maybe not . what if it 's just the grief , and i do n't want us to -- to turn the grief that we 've been sharing into something that it 's not . right ? abe : i love that heart of yours , your consideration for eli 's feelings , but maybe , you might be overthinking this . [ easygoing music over speakers ] lani : [ laughs ] you and valerie are made for each other . [ abe laughs ] she said the same thing . abe : well ... she 's a wise woman . lani : after valerie and i talked , i saw eli , and ... he admitted to having real feelings for me . no pressure . he just -- he wanted me to know . abe : you know , you said you were afraid of hurting eli . does that mean that you 're also afraid to explore your feelings for him , and see where it might lead ? lani : eli and i went through a lot together , and i think he 's incredible , but i -- i just ... abe : but what ? is it jj ? you still hung up on him ? lani : no . not really . i do n't think . abe : that 's an answer . lani : [ laughs ] i just ran into jj , and it was nice . we 're finally on good terms , maybe even friends , but ... as far as anything more , i do n't think jj sees me that way anymore . abe : but eli does ? sheila : man , i am so , so sorry . eli : no , it 's -- it 's cool . look , it 's just -- there 's no way you could 've known . it was a boy . sheila : oh . eli : we named him david . david abraham . sheila : that 's rough . hey , little mama . you see this guy over here ? he 's not that tough . eli : here you go . can i hold her ? sheila : yeah , sure . there you go . got her ? eli : yeah . hey , you pretty girl . okay . i bet there 's a smile in there somewhere . sheila : look at that . you 're a natural . you 'll get another chance . you still , um , with the baby mama ? eli : no , uh , i 'd like to be , but ... i think the only thing she sees when she looks at us is losing david . i do n't know if she 'll ever get past it . [ baby fusses ] bonnie : [ laughs ] you killed one of the most dangerous men in the world ? [ laughs ] what 'd you do , hit him with one of your high c 's ? [ laughs ] oh , my god , you 're serious . chloe : i stabbed that son of a bitch in the back . i made him cry like a stuck pig . now imagine , if i can do that to a man like el fideo , what i could do to you , because if you hurt lucas again , you 're not gon na have to imagine it . i 'll show you . [ disquieting music ] oh , and ... he never saw me coming . neither will you . kayla : chloe is a very strong woman , and she cares about you very much . i have complete confidence that you are gon na get through this . look , you made a mistake . you 're human . lucas : i was a drunk , stupid human . kayla : yes , you were , but you fought back , and chloe was witness to all that . she knows who you are . she knows who you are in here . and that 's what counts . she 's not going anywhere . lucas : i hope not . i realize how lucky i am . i - i know that i 'm so grateful to have a second chance with chloe , but ... and everyone else , you know ? everyone else who 's dealt with me and my stupid drinking . if this baby 's mine ... if this baby 's mine , then ... [ melancholy music ] i guess i 'm just gon na have to shut up and do the right thing . abigail : and gabi apologized for being so angry , and she 's working on it , and , you know , just wants us to all be able to have a fresh start . jj : yeah ? does n't answer my question . you believe her ? abigail : [ sighs ] i ... she seems sincere . jj : but ? abigail : but i 'm g - gon na keep my eyes open . you know , on her , and chad too . i always thought that our love was this rock that i could count on , but now ... it 's fragile , and ... i do n't want to do anything that might break it . jj : you know , abigail , you 've done the work . gotten treatment . you 've integrated your alters . you 're giving chad time and space and love . you got this . abigail : yeah . yeah , i think i do . and i - i think we 're gon na get through this , and we 're gon na end up stronger than ever . and we have to . part of me made decisions that are gon na haunt us forever , so ... chad : i have to make it work with abby , and if i 'm gon na do that , i have to ... accept the fact that she 's -- is gon na have , uh -- gabi : you 're a really good man , chad . chad : well , it does n't really feel like it lately . gabi : i just do n't want to see you get hurt . chad : no , a - abby was the one that was hurt . she ... she was ill , and stefan took advantage of her , and now she 's pregnant . and she 's had a lot of courage through it all , and i 'd be lucky to have half that courage , so i am gon na have to try to step it up if i 'm gon na be the husband she deserves . [ uneasy music ] uh , i got ta go to the picnic . bye . gabi : have fun . oh , i almost forgot , chad . sorry . arianna -- she , uh -- she glued my key to the mansion to a piece of wood for her school project . i - i ca n't get it off , so i was wondering if i could just borrow yours . chad : just leave the keys on the ... gabi : whoop !

[ cell phone ringing ] i really need you . eli : so when you 're done watching bonnie 's baby , are you headed back to chicago ? sheila : well , my shiny new life is n't exactly going as planned . turns out nobody wants to really hire an ex - con , so i -- i do n't know what i 'm about to do , really . eli : well , if you need a reference , let me know . sheila : thank you . eli : i got you , all right ? we go way back . whatever you need . sheila : so you gon na give me this kid back , or what ? eli : i do n't know ... sheila : i have to take her back . [ laughs ] eli : here you go . sheila : thank you . all right , little mama . and you know what ? if your lady friend is smart , she 'll figure you 're too good of a guy to let go . [ tender music ] abe : whether you want to see where things go with eli or not -- that 's obviously your choice , but for what it 's worth , he 's really impressed me . he 's solid . he did right by you and your son . lani : he was a rock , and i do care about him . it 's just ... abe : i - i know . you 're confused , and you do n't want to make the wrong choice . but maybe there 's a chance that the bad you and eli went through will turn into something good . lani : maybe . abe : sit with that heart of yours . listen to it . you 'll find your answer .

[ cell phone beeps ] jj : straight to voicemail ? jack : no , no , it actually rang a couple times , so she must have seen it was me and hit ignore . jj : no . no , mom would not ignore a call from you . jack : well , maybe she just -- she could n't answer the phone . maybe she 's so deep undercover on this story , she could n't even tell adrienne about it . jj : that does n't make sense . they 're equal partners in the paper . they keep each other in the loop with everything . jack : then how do you explain the text ? jj : my guess ... mom 's not the one who sent it . [ dramatic music ] jack : so you think someone else sent that text on jennifer 's phone . jj : look , i sure as hell hope not , but think about all the weird stuff that 's gone down lately . someone trashed that lab . rolf is missing . jack : you 're saying you think your mother 's in trouble . jj : look , i do n't -- i do n't want to jump to conclusions , okay ? when i was a cop , i was trained to think through every possible scenario . jack : all right , all right , so maybe -- so your mom and rolf could be together , or he could be holding her against her will . jj : dad , we need to stop speculating . we need to go to the police . jack : right . right , right . i 'll tell you what . we 'll have the police make it a top priority . we -- rolf . rolf : i have returned . brady : go ahead . talk . kristen : well , i was just at the courthouse . brady : they 're not throwing your ass back in jail ? kristen : no . no , no . i 'm still free . i went to testify on behalf of tony . and i 'm happy to report that the charges against him have been dropped . he 's been released . brady : well , that 's great . i 'm happy for tony . i 'm happy for anna . but really has nothing to do with me , kristen , so -- kristen : no , it does . it has everything to do with you because i did it for you . nicole : i wish i could say i 'm not worried about kristen , but knowing she 's out there ... eric : hey , that psycho 's never going to hurt you again . right now , kristen 's laser focus is on one thing . my brother . abe : and getting back dimera . i made the mistake of accepting a job there . chief communications officer . nicole : really ? abe : well , stefan made this big pitch on how he wanted to clean up the company , erase the awful legacy of his father , create a better -- better place . and i thought i would honor lexie by helping him do that . and i could look out for you . nicole : i 'm touched that you did that for me , abe . it just makes me sick that kristen deceived everyone . pretending to be a grieving mother . abe : well , she wanted an in at dimera . and now that kate 's in a coma , she probably sees the ceo position as hers for the taking . and i might be in the market for a new line of work . nicole : [ chuckles ] you and me both . abe : well , what are your plans ? nicole : i do n't know . i have n't made any other than spending as much time as possible with eric and holly . abe : those sound like fine planes to me , and i 'm going to leave you both to it . nicole : hey , please do n't be a stranger . abe : same to you . nicole , welcome home . nicole : thank you . oh , you know what ? we should go pick up holly . i told maggie we 'd meet them at her place . eric : oh . nicole : hey . what is it ? are you worried that we 'll run into sarah ? eric : no , it 's just , you know , us being happy being together , hand in hand , seems a bit cruel . nicole : oh , i understand . if it makes it easier , i can pick her up on my own . eric : no . actually you know what ? i think sarah can handle it . besides , you know what ? i ca n't imagine being away from you one more minute than i already have been . nicole : okay . all right , let 's go . let 's go . eric : come on . sarah : i am well aware that i have to make a decision . it 's all i think about . and ... after a lot of tears and lost sleep and soul searching , i -- i made my decision . xander : you have ? sarah : yeah . i 'm gon na terminate the pregnancy . copd makes it hard to breathe . abe : well ... that 's a lot of food for one person . eve : you 're point ? abe : i just know that you 're living alone now . eve : well , if you 're asking me if this food is for jack , no , it 's not . it 's not like we socialize much now that he has fired me , dumped me , and basically ruined my life . abe : well , that 's really -- it ai n't my business . eve : but the mayor 's race was . and i truly regret ever encouraging jack to run against you , abe , and now i am sorry that you -- that you lost . abe : well , maybe if he did n't have such a ruthless campaign manager . eve : i thought at the time that he was the right man for the job . it just turns out he 's not the man i thought he was . abe : well , jack is not the man he used to be . that 's for sure . eve : hmm . you know , i 'm thinking here . since we were both wronged by the new and not - so - improved jack deveraux , how about if we team up , bring him down ? jack : rolf . where the hell have you been ? rolf : decompressing . after my lab was vandalized and my serum destroyed , i was distraught . i had to go somewhere quiet so i could recover from the stress . jack : you were supposed to lie down in the on - call room and you disappeared . rolf : yes , well , that room was insufficient -- look this is my life 's work we are talking about . to see it so violently decimated , i -- i contemplated going to a meditation retreat . but then i received a phone call from madame , and she told me -- jack : madame , madame , i got it , i got it , madame , right . so just tell me , do you have any idea where jennifer is ? rolf : ms. horton ? no , why ? jj : she might be missing . rolf : missing ? jj : we figured since you were both unaccounted for ... jack : what have you done to jennifer ? jennifer : [ panting ] [ muffled yelling ] xander : are you ... are you sure about this ? sarah : look , i 'm ... i know that you 're just trying to help , right ? but , honestly , this is none of your concern . all i need from you is your word that you will just keep your mouth shut . i do not want eric to know about this child because he 'll just feel obligated , and that 's the last thing that i want . xander : but if he -- sarah : no , xander , please do n't try to talk me out of this or talk me into anything else either , okay ? just ... i am not going to have eric 's baby , and he will never find out that i was pregnant . sarah : eric , i did n't want you -- eric : xander , are you harassing her ? xander : what ? sarah : no , he 's not . xander : why would you think that ? nicole : because you 're you . eric : and sarah 's clearly upset . sarah : this has nothing to do with xander . xander : have you ever considered that this might have something to do with you ? eric : sarah -- sarah : no , i really do n't want to talk right now . xander : you left her high and dry . and you think i 'm the bad guy . rolf : of course i did n't do anything to ms . horton . why would i bite the hand that feeds me ? jj : especially with your appetite . rolf : look , you and jennifer brought me back to salem , attended to my every need , offered to fund my research , provided me with a state - of - the - art laboratory , which , granted , it 's in a bit of a shambles , but i know that 's not your fault . jack : so , despite this setback , you 're willing to continue ? rolf : oh , absolutely . i am eager to get back to work on the serum , which will , i have no doubt , restore your memory . jj : that 's great , rolf . thank you . rolf : well , i best get back to the lab and see if i can salvage anything . jack : do you think he 's lying about your mom ? jj : he 's a weird dude . but my gut says he 's telling the truth . what reason would he have to hurt mom ? jack : well , we both know there 's one person who 's made it very clear that she wants to ruin your mother 's life . eve . jj : i 'm not gon na let that happen . and i 'm gon na go to the police , see what i can find out as well . jack : right . while you do that , i 'm gon na go to the source . i 'm gon na get the truth out of eve , one way or the other . whatever it takes . eve : come on , abe . it 'll be a blast . we 'll boot jack out of office , and then we will take over this town . abe : you know , i think the people that voted for jack might take issue with that . eve : i don't . i think maybe they might be happy that we 're righting a wrong . you know , i got a man with no memory elected on a landslide and there 's no telling what i can do for you . we can do together . we can rule this town , abe . come on . abe : i did n't run for public office to rule anything . i wanted to serve the people . eve : and no one does that better than you , abe . abe : if you believe that , why did you work so hard to push me out . eve : [ sighs ] well that was one of my many mistakes . abe : no , eve . you knew exactly what you were doing . because you wanted power , fame , fortune . all the wrong reasons to get into politics . eve : but , abe , hey , this time it would be different because i would be working on the side of good , bringing corrupt , crooked jack deveraux to his knees . abe : i read that you lost your lawsuit against jack . and i also read that dr . rolf is hard at work on a new batch of serum to help jack regain his memory . and on top of everything else , you 're really angry , are n't you ? eve : you 're damn right i am . abe : you 're lonely too . i understand loneliness . i understand anger too . and i know that giving into it , seeking revenge , spreading fear and hate is not gon na bring me or you or anyone else a sense of peace . eve : so what do you suggest i do with all the rage inside me , abe ? abe : let it go . kristen : i 'm trying to be a better person . someone worthy of your love , brady . brady : mm . in other words , you would n't have had the basic decency to try to help your brother out of a murder rap unless you were trying to prove something to me ? kristen : that 's not what i said . brady : kristen , that 's exactly what you said . you -- you 're desperate . you 're trying to throw anything you can against the wall and you 're hoping it 'll stick . just last night you were trying to convince me that we should be together because we both have , what , dark sides ? kristen : yes ! yes , we do have a dark side . we do , and i wanted you to -- encourage you to embrace that because i was n't listening to you , but i am now . i hear you , brady . i understand that you want to live in the light , and i want so much to live there with you . and i know i ca n't change overnight . but i am trying . just like you are . you 're the bad boy doing his damnedest to be better , and i 'm just a bad girl trying to do the same . brady : it 's gon na take a hell of a lot more than one good deed , kristen . kristen : i 've done more . i have . not only did i set tony free , but i also did the same with jennifer . brady : what in the hell are you talking about ? kristen : [ laughs ] jennifer : [ muffled grunts ] [ heavy breathing ] jack : you 're getting all worked up here . jennifer : jack , would you stop it , all right ? just admit it . after all this time , they finally caught up with us . the brick through the window , the man who attacked me , they were all warnings , but i did n't listen . i mean , and now , jack , who knows what 's gon na happen . we 're probably both gon na di -- jack : no , nothing 's gon na happen because we 're gon na find the alternative . jennifer : [ breathing heavily ] [ muffled cries ] eve : [ sighs ] [ mysterious music ] [ knocking at door ] jack : eve ? open up . i know you 're in there . eve : okay , jack . what do you want now ? jack : what the hell did you do with jennifer ? jennifer : [ muffled screams ] [ panting ] it could be our last night together . and if it is , if we really do never get out of this room , do you know what would be the saddest thing of all about it ? jack : you mean other than just death in general ? jennifer : we 'll have missed our chance forever . and i 'm not gon na let that happen . i ca n't let that happen , jack . [ muffled grunting ] [ yells ] [ breathing heavily ] [ intense music building ] rolf : dr. johnson , do you have a moment ? kayla : no , actually i don't . i have several critical patients that i need to deal with . can we talk about this later , please ? rolf : i will be quick . i 'm sure you 're aware that the beautiful laboratory you 've provided me has been vandalized and my work destroyed . kayla : i heard . hospital security is on it . rolf : well , while i 'm hopeful that the culprit is brought to justice , my main concern is that i 'm able to continue with my research . aside from the serum , to restore jack 's memory , i have several other projects i 'm in the middle of , and , um , i need some supplies . kayla : there is something that you need to understand . i 'm not happy that you 're here , rolf . i 'm not happy that you were working on your own projects in my hospital . i authorized this so that you could work on the serum . rolf : so ... the supplies ? kayla : make me a list . i 'll get you what you need . brady : did you do something to jennifer ? kristen : no ! brady : did you ? kristen : no ! no , i just meant that she was living in a kind of prison since jack came back without his memory . when i found out that dr . rolf went awol , i contacted him immediately and i told him to get right back to the hospital . brady : out of the kindness of your heart . kristen : yes . and jennifer 's an old friend . brady : an old friend , yeah . you do n't have any friends in this town , kristen . all you 're telling me is that you 're still running around giving orders , making demands , pulling strings . that 's a mob boss . kristen : [ sighs ] well , if that 's the case , then i do n't have a single soul left on my payroll . brady : what about your partner in crime , xander ? kristen : bless your little heart . you 're jealous of him , are n't you ? brady : you are insane . kristen : am i ? eric : why was sarah upset ? xander : as if you care . eric : i do care ! now answer me . xander : sarah was quite clear that she did n't wan na discuss it with you , but is n't it obvious why she 's upset ? nicole : okay , all right , enough with the phony outrage . if you did n't help kristen with her crazy plan to take over my life , eric and i never would have separated . you know what , you admit it that you were thrilled that eric and i got back together because that meant you had a chance with sarah . eric : if you lay one finger on her -- xander : been there , done that , mate . eric : i 'm warning you , i will -- xander : will what , eric ? on sah . now she 's ripe for the picking . eric : you son of a bitch ! brady : i could not care less about xander . kristen : but you do care about jennifer . brady : yeah . yeah , i 'm glad rolf is making the serum . i 'm even glad tony 's free . that 's great , but that has nothing to do with us -- if you think these things are gon na change anything between us -- kristen : it has everything to do with us because what i did , i did it for love . once jack gets back his memory , he and jennifer will be reunited , and i already reunited eric and nicole and tony and anna . the only two people left are you and me . brady : kristen . there is no you and me . all right ? kristen : you finally admitted that you want me . and i understand that being together has been a problem for you , but not anymore , brady . not anymore . brady : you need to stop -- kristen : no , i need you to listen to me . brady : stop with your -- kristen : please . i have been redeemed in the eyes of so many people in this town . you do n't have to be ashamed of me anymore . you know , no more guilt . no more regrets or resisting . we can be out there , free to live our truth as soul mates , and i know that you want that , brady . we can have that . we can show the world our love . abe : brady . kristen : oh . [ laughs ] what are you doing ? should n't you be doing damage control at dimera ? i 'm sure the company must be in crisis with the ceo fighting for her life . if you need me to step up , i 'll be right there . abe : stefan and gabi have things under control . kristen : yeah , i doubt that . but you and me , we made a pretty good team , did n't we ? abe : i thought you were nicole . i would never work with you . now get out of here . i need brady alone . kristen : i 'm not going anywhere . brady : if you wo n't , i will . kristen : thanks a lot . abe : it 's the least i could do . nicole : eric , stop ! stop , please ! just forget it . he 's not -- he 's not worth it . xander : my wife is talking to you . nicole : excuse me ? you agreed to divorce me . i have new papers being drawn up as we speak , and then you will be officially and permanently out of my life . xander : it 's been real , love , but , as i said earlier , i 'm over you . eric can have my sloppy seconds . nicole : okay , okay , wait . please , please , stop . do n't , eric . let 's go get holly . come on . [ tense music ] jj : you have n't had a minute to rest , have you ? kayla : no , i haven't . and i do n't plan to . i just saw julie . jj : how is she ? kayla : well , you know , she 's putting on a brave face , but i know that she 's scared . jj : i know the feeling . kayla : what are you scared about ? jj : kayla , my mom might be missing . kayla : what ? what do you mean ? jj : when dr . rolf saw what happened to his lab , he had a melt down and took off , and dad and i were supposed to meet mom this morning at the brady pub to coordinate a search for him . at the last minute , she text dad saying that she 's off covering a story , but aunt adrienne says that 's not true . kayla : well , did adrienne say where she thought your mom might really be ? jj : no one does . and i talked to lani . she said it 's too early to file a missing person 's report . kayla : well , when was the last time you saw your mom ? jj : last night . i was helping her clean up the lab , but since then , silence . i ca n't reach her . kayla : well , what about that text that she sent ? jj : i do n't think it came from mom . i think it was eve . so does dad . kayla : you think that she 's involved in this -- in your mom 's disappearance ? jj : we 're not sure , but if she 's the one who trashed the lab ... kayla : you think that she did that too ? jj : well , it makes sense that she would try to destroy the serum because she did it once before . look , dad went to go question her . i doubt she 'll cop to anything . she did n't when she confronted to her about the lab . kayla : so she denied that she 's involved ? jj : yeah , but that does n't mean anything because we ca n't believe a damn word out of her mouth . kayla : you know , this might be the first time in her life that she actually is telling the truth . jack : jennifer 's missing . you made it clear you 're gon na ruin her life , so you 're the number one suspect . eve : [ sighs ] well , if that 's the case , jack , why are you banging on my door and not the cops ? jack : because i -- you got two bags of food . eve : wait , hey , hey , hey ! hey ! you think one of these is for jennifer , huh ? jack : is it ? jennifer : [ screams ] help ! somebody ! help ! abe : hey , buddy . brady : hey . abe : i 'm gon na get some -- some water . you care for some ? brady : no , i 'm kind of resisting the urge to get something a little stronger than that , abe . abe : hey , um ... can i call somebody ? brady : no . no , i 'm good , i 'm good . but thank you for coming by when you did . i , um ... i really hate the draw that that woman has over me . it 's -- it 's hard for me to deal with . she 's very -- she 's very tempting for me . abe : well , you know , she really did a number on you . it 'll take some time , that 's all . brady : i hope to hell you 're right . xander : kristen . kristen : that 's right . i 'm free . despite you throwing me under the bus to get yourself out of jail . i 'm still gon na make you pay for that . xander : what are you doing here ? kristen : i 'm looking for brady . xander : oh . well , he 's out . i 'll be sure to tell him you stopped by . kristen : no , you won't . xander : look , i 'm getting tired of this , the power games , the threats . i say we call a truce . kristen : why ? xander : because i 'm trying to turn over a new leaf and prove to sarah that i can be a better person . kristen : yeah , well i 'm trying to do the same thing with brady . i mean , i 'm doing all these wonderful things , but he does n't give me credit . xander : yeah , you 're a veritable saint . kristen : who -- who did i really hurt by doing this , hm ? nobody . holly and nicole and jack . they 're all alive and happy because of me . xander : you wan na know who got hurt ? sarah horton . while eric and nicole are riding off into the sunset , she 's left with nothing but a broken heart . kristen : mm . that puts you in a really good place , does n't it ? see , once again , thanks to me , you 're getting everything you want . xander : i wish people would stop saying that . it 's not that simple . kristen : why not ? xander : 'cause sarah 's pregnant with a baby she does n't even want -- kristen : i beg your pardon ?

[ scene_break ] vivian : victor , no . you ca n't be saying this . victor : you satisfied ? i did n't believe it myself at first . you know , vivian can be dense as cement when it comes to how other people feel about her . i never thought she 'd see the light of day and leave . justin : apparently she did . yeah , but it just seems like such a 180 for her . vivian : you -- you tell him , justin . tell him it ca n't possibly be true . justin : but strange things do happen sometimes . victor : i wonder if this is another one of her schemes to make me miss her . justin : could be . now that sounds more like vivian . victor : well , we 'll find out for sure when we all gather for the ceremony , and she 's either there or she 's not . vivian : [ sighs ] victor : no way she would miss being the center of attention . brady : unless she left . victor : right . vivian : no . my love , i 'll find a way . i promise . i promise . victor : in either case , prepare the divorce papers , if she 's gone , and we 'll call it desertion . that way she wo n't even get the prenup money .

[ scene_break ] ej : you 'll forgive me , billie , but i really do n't see why you 're so concerned with samantha 's love life . billie : well she did break my brother 's heart . both of theirs actually . repeatedly . ej : okay , but , um , austin is a continent away and samantha and lucas are through . billie : yes , lucas is through with her , but you must know that when sami brady is a woman scorned , which she is often , whoo , watch out . ej : it 's funny you say that , actually , because i 'd heard exactly the same thing about you . billie : you know , most people evolve over a couple of decades . sami 's got four kids , but i think that deep down , she 's still this lonely little girl looking for the daddy that she never had , because your father took him away . ej : well , cosmetics counter girl come psychologist . billie : come on . anyone with a brain could see it . you 're just so blindsided by her mysterious charms . sami brady wants a white knight , and you do n't exactly fit that bill . i do n't know . i would bet money on the fact that she 's just gon na keep all of her options open .

[ giggles ] adrienne : and i know i was young , very young , but looking back i really wish we had n't waited so long . maggie : well , it 's not just that melanie is so young . she has a good head on her shoulders , but she 's impulsive . and i 'm afraid . i 'm afraid chad is pushing her , because after everything that happened with andrew and now having nick released from prison ... adrienne : he feels the need to protect her . maggie : yeah . adrienne : just like you did . maggie : yeah . adrienne : sweetie , i know . i know you 're her grandmother . it 's your job . and believe me , i raised four boys who bungee jumped and mountain climbed and just about sent me to an early death . sonny being the biggest daredevil of them all . one thing i learned through all that is the harder i pushed to get them to do it my way , the more they were dead set against and doing just the opposite . maggie : oh . adrienne : mm - hmm . now see , i know nothing about raising girls . so you have to tell me were melissa and sarah like that at all ? maggie : [ laughs ] of course , they were . adrienne : of course , they were . maggie : you 're absolutely right . you are right . adrienne : oh , boy am i right . you really do have to let kids run their own lives . and i really should not be giving out that advice unless i 'm ready to take it myself .

judge sims : it is my understanding , commissioner , that you have some new evidence . you have the floor , sir . let 's hear it . abe : thank you , your honor . from the beginning , the defendant has claimed that she shot detective bernardi because he saw him standing over rafe hernandez wielding a dangerous - looking straight razor . the investigating officers and the forensics team found no such razor . however , that is no longer true . here is that razor . sami : [ gasping ] maggie : i came as soon as i got your message . is this about j.j. moving out ? jennifer : yeah , but he did n't move out . he walked out . do you remember me complaining about how hard it was with abigail at this age ? maggie : mm , i have a vague recollection . jennifer : i had no idea how hard it could be . aunt maggie , j.j. is out there . i have no idea where he is . and god only knows what kind of trouble is waiting for him now . theresa : [ sighs ] `` theresa donovan . `` yes ! [ chuckles ] i got it ! 2,500 bucks . i ca n't believe this . that was so easy . probably should 've asked for more . [ cell phone ringing ] theresa : [ chuckles ] what ? j.j. : hey , i 'm in the park . i 've got to see you . theresa : [ sighs ] j.j. : come on , please ? it 's really important . theresa : okay , i 'll be there in a few minutes . oh . probably safer if i just leave it here . [ chuckles ] victor : so we still ca n't prove to brady that kristen had an affair with some guy ? marlena : oh , my gosh . i was relying on nicole to keep her distracted while i tried to get her phone . victor : did n't work ? marlena : [ laughs ] it was disastrous . if i had n't dropped this into her purse and fished it out in time , she 'd be on to both of us by now . kristen : the way things are going , i may not need you after all . well , hello there . nicole : oh , what do you want ? kristen : you were so hammered . i wanted to make sure you got here okay . nicole : oh , nothing to it . i just was driving with one eye shut . kristen : aw , that 's very sad . i think you need help . nicole : look who 's talking . kristen : i do n't have any addiction issues . nicole : oh , yes , you do . you get a buzz off making misery . and your specialty is doing it sneakily , insidiously , sub rosa . kristen : [ laughs ] was that latin or pig latin ? nicole : which is why i 'm guessing nobody really knows the worst , most miserable thing you 've ever done . eric : this is a waste of time . no . it was a dream . it had nothing to do with -- it could n't have anything to -- it was here . abe : once this razor came into possession of the police department , forensics did a thorough examination of it . detective bernardi 's fingerprints were all over it , as was his blood in a splatter pattern that was consistent with a gunshot wound . obviously , he was holding the razor when he was shot , just as samantha brady claimed when she made her original statement . melinda : objection . your honor -- judge sims : overruled . commissioner , how did this razor fall into the hands of the police ? sami : that 's exactly what i want to know . i have been dying for months wondering what happened to that thing . e.j . : the razor bernardi brought with him to slice up rafe , the blade that disappeared at the crime scene -- you did n't destroy it . you have it . you 've had it all along . stefano : if somehow samantha gets out of this mess one way or the other , you are gon na live here in this house as my son . e.j . : yes . me too . eric : how could it ? could it possibly be ? no . no . abe : now , this woman 's name is gloria nash . and until a few hours ago , she was employed as a nurse at salem university hospital . judge sims : what happened a few hours ago ? abe : well , apparently she got word that police officers were coming to the hospital to reinterview all the nurses that were on duty the night detective bernardi was killed . judge sims : go on . abe : ms. nash left the hospital in the middle of her shift and skipped town . we believe she 's on a flight to morocco -- judge sims : which has no extradition treaty with the united states . abe : exactly . so we obtained a search warrant for ms . nash 's locker at the hospital and her apartment . we found a receipt for a one - way , open - ended ticket to morocco . we then searched her apartment , and that 's where we found the razor . judge sims : did you find anything else in the apartment ? abe : oh , we found plenty . there are financial records from a bank in morocco . we lifted fingerprints and recovered dna from a male who apparently had been a frequent visitor at the apartment . the prints and the dna were in every room , including the bedroom . we accessed ms . nash 's email and recovered copious communications sent via an untraceable proxy account from the man who had been visiting the apartment . the man i 'm talking about is detective joseph bernardi . jennifer : i just feel like i 've been on the phone for hours . i 've been talking to our family ; i 've been talking to jack 's , just asking them not to take j.j. in no matter what his story is . maggie : honey , the temperature is dropping out there , and it 's supposed to rain . i mean , do you really want him sleeping on the street ? jennifer : no , aunt maggie , of course , i do n't . and i ca n't even believe i am saying this about my own child , but if ask my son to come home , he wo n't look at that as kindness . he will look at it as weakness , and then this behavior will keep going on and on and on . maggie : okay , okay . i understand what you 're saying . i really do . but , honey , if he ca n't come home , where is he gon na go ? theresa : hey . j.j. : hey . hey , i really appreciate meeting with me . i know it 's not great for you to be seen with me . theresa : hmm . i do believe that 's the nicest thing you 've ever said to me . j.j. : yeah . and i want to let you know that i did not give you up , okay ? the cops do n't know at all that you 're one of my buyers . theresa : thanks . j.j. : sure . theresa : so what 's gon na happen to you ? j.j. : i do n't know . my mom got me a lawyer , and he got the charges knocked down to -- i think it 's misdemeanor possession . theresa : dude , that 's nothing ! i mean , dealing could get you a bid in prison , but misdemeanor possession ? even if you get convicted , the jails are so crowded , you 'll end up getting kicked . yeah , you 'll be back in your comfy little bed that same night like none of this ever happened . j.j. : well , the thing is , i do n't have a comfy little bed , and i -- i need a place to crash . theresa : what , your mom kicked you out ? j.j. : no , it was -- it was me . i just could n't take her anymore . theresa : yeah , her and aunt kayla . couple of self - righteous bitches , you know ? but i do n't -- i do n't really know anybody that could take you in . j.j. : well , i was -- i was actually thinking , what about your place ? victor : so what did nicole do to distract her ? marlena : she pretended to be drunk . victor : ah . well , at least she 's had the empirical experience to make it convincing . marlena : [ laughs ] victor . hmm . victor : you know , what if we brought her in on this ? marlena : oh , dear . i 'm afraid you 've lost your marbles . having that loose cannon in the mix is the last thing that we need . victor , you should 've seen her today . oh , my gosh . i 'm stunned that kristen did n't figure the whole thing out herself . kristen : you know , i 've done some pretty horrible things in my life . but i still think i might be able to learn a thing or two from you . something 's off about earlier . nicole : like what ? kristen : like the way you were loaded in the morning and you went after me . why ? nicole : i already told you . i 'd rather see brady with lindsay lohan . kristen : hmm , that 's funny . considering , though , how plastered you were , i mean , you 're so perky and alert now . nicole : yeah , well , it wore off . kristen : well , when somebody is as wasted as you seemed to be , we both know there are some very adverse side effects . yet look at you . you 're perfectly fine . eric : it just does n't make sense . it goes against everything that i believe . daniel : hey , how 's it going ? eric ? eric , are you okay ? abe : the name on the moroccan bank account is joseph bernardi . judge sims : ms. nash 's name is nowhere on this . abe : right , but we have documents proving that she let him use her account to transfer funds into it . melinda : this is all well and good , but it does nothing to alter the fact that samantha brady shot detective bernardi dead . abe : she did shoot him , but we 're no longer certain that the gunshot wound is what killed him . i have affidavits from dr. kayla brady , who was the first physician to attend to detective bernardi after he was shot . she states that she believes detective bernardi would have survived the wound . and the surgeon who performed the surgery felt the same way after the surgery . now , detective bernardi suddenly bled out in the recovery room , and the death certificate reads that he died of complications after surgery from a gunshot wound . however , dr. brady now believes that he died from causes unrelated to the shooting . judge sims : what does she base this on ? abe : gloria nash was on duty the night detective bernardi died , and a coworker remembers her in the vicinity of the recovery room right after detective bernardi came out of surgery . she had knowledge and opportunity to cause his death . judge sims : what about motive ? abe : many of the emails we read on ms . nash 's computer were from bernardi telling her that because of his son , he would never leave his wife for her . sami : oh , my god , this is all coming together . judge sims : commissioner carver , you 've given us a great deal of evidence to go over . i want both attorneys in my chambers immediately . all rise . sami : oh , my god . justin : just try and stay calm . sami : oh , right , like that 's gon na happen . justin : [ laughs ] [ cell phone ringing ] jennifer : excuse me . this -- maggie : mm - hmm . jennifer : these are the phone records i 've been waiting for from the phone company . these are all of jj 's calls -- calls that he 's made , calls that have come in . i just need to be able to give these to other parents . maggie : well , look , okay ? you know , i can see how anxious you are to get to that , so i 'm gon na let myself out . okay ? jennifer : yes , thank you , aunt maggie , so much . i love you . maggie : i pray -- i love you too -- that everything 's gon na work out soon , okay ? jennifer : mm - hmm . maggie : okay . jennifer : thanks . thank you for coming by . maggie : sure . jennifer : what is this one number that he keeps calling over and over again ? i know this number . theresa . oh , my -- theresa : you want to stay with me ? j.j. : i told you i 'm not going back to my house . and we do get along , do n't we ? come on . what ? theresa : you know , i 'd like to help you out , but , look , if your mom found out , she 'd go straight to aunt kayla , and then we 'd both be screwed . i really need this crummy job , j.j . j.j. : my mom will not find out , and no one will see me going in and out . it 's supposed to be fricking cold tonight . theresa : no , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . j.j. : do n't worry about it . theresa : you know , if you need a place to stay , there 's a really easy solution . j.j. : there is ? theresa : yeah , come on . use your head . bailiff : all rise . sami : what happened ? judge sims : court will resume . ms. trask , given the presence of the razor , the forensics on the razor , the relationship between the deceased and this nurse , and the moroccan bank account , do the people wish to proceed with the case against samantha brady ? melinda : no , your honor . e.j . : yes ! melanie : in light of the new evidence and in spite of all the unanswered questions , the state wishes to officially withdraw all charges against samantha brady . judge sims : so ordered . ms. brady , you are free to go . sami : [ crying ] thank you ! justin : [ laughing ] sami : thank you . [ crying ] it 's over ! it 's finally over ! marlena : victor , i think bringing nicole into this would be a serious mistake . victor : all right , all right . we 're still back to square one with less time to stop this wedding . marlena : yeah . [ cell phone ringing ] marlena : oh . i 'm so sorry . excuse me . hello . sami , are you all right ? [ gasps ] oh ! oh , that 's wonderful news . i 'll be right there . victor : what ? marlena : all the charges against sami have been dropped . i got to go . kristen : you were n't drunk , were you ? nicole : oh , dear god , you caught me . right ? i get my jollies off playing drunk and starting fights . kristen : you 're up to something . nicole : is that why you 're here ? because if it is , you really need to get a life . kristen : oh , i 've got a life . i 've got a great life . do you know why i 'm here , nicole ? nicole : mm - mm . kristen : dropping off some forms for the pre - cana meetings that i 'm having with eric and my brady , because you know what ? brady and i are getting married . remember ? nicole : mm , that 's great . so i 'll make sure he gets these . kristen : you know what 's interesting ? eric and i have become good friends . i feel kind of protective of him . i wonder if i should let him know that his assistant 's fantasy life consists of imagining what he looks like without that collar on . nicole : get out . kristen : pretty hot is what i 'm guessing . [ laughs ] [ cell phone ringing ] kristen : oh , excuse me . hey , eej , what 's up ? you 're kidding me . that 's amazing . of course , i 'll be right there . well , i 've got to go . more important things to do than hang out with a sad , pathetic , lonely , jealous loser . nicole : [ hisses ] eric : i 'm -- i 'm starting to figure some things out . daniel : you look pretty upset . eric : well , it 's all a -- [ cell phone ringing ] eric : i 'm sorry . daniel : that 's okay . eric : mom . mom . okay , what happened ? what are you talking about , `` it 's over `` ? are you serious ? i 'll -- okay . i 'll -- i 'll get the details later . i know you have a ton of people to call , but -- all right , mom . mom , thanks for letting me know . okay , bye . daniel : what , uh -- what happened ? eric : all the charges against sami are being dropped . she 's going home . daniel : well , there you go . that 's fantastic ! you know what ? why do n't you take my car and go back for the celebration ? eric : what about you ? daniel : no , i 'm gon na stick around here . i want to check a few things out . but , you know , i 'll rent a car when i 'm done . do n't worry about it . eric : listen , are you sure ? daniel : get out . go , man . go . all right ? eric : all right . daniel : you got it . eric : sami 's going home . daniel : mm - hmm . eric : this could be some kind of turning point for our whole family . daniel : it could be , man . all right . do you have a mouthwash that works all day ? sami : hey ! johnny : mom ? sami : hello ! hi ! what do you do to get a hug around this place ? come here ! allie : mom ! johnny : mom 's home ! sami : [ crying ] i have been waiting so long to do this ! sydney : can you stay home now ? sami : yes ! yes , i am staying home forever . i promise i 'm never gon na leave you again ! justin : when you woke up this morning , did you have any idea the day would turn out like this ? e.j . : i always hoped it would . thank you , justin , for everything you 've done . justin : well , i appreciate that . but you really need to thank whoever tipped off the cops about that nurse . i wonder who that person was . e.j . : i do n't know . i would imagine just somebody who 'd did n't want to see samantha pay for a crime she did n't commit . justin : right . kristen : you 're already home ? it 's over ? e.j . : it 's over . kristen : oh . oh , i think i see tears in my cynical brother 's eyes . aw . allie : did you bring home the pictures we made , mommy ? sami : yes , of course i did . i would n't leave them behind . kristen : wait till father hears about this . e.j . : yes , indeed . sami : oh , mom . thank you . thank you for being here for me when i could n't be . marlena : it was my very great pleasure . allie : mom ? can i show you my science test ? sami : of course . allie : i got an `` a `` on it . sami : you did ? of course you did ! i ca n't wait to see it . johnny : i found a turtle by the pond . can we keep it ? sami : a turtle . wow . yeah , of course we can keep it . i do n't have to touch it , though , right ? [ laughs ] johnny : mom says we can keep the turtle ! allie : yay ! j.j. : come on , theresa , stop with the games . what 's the solution that you could n't believe i did n't think of on my own ? [ cell phone rings ] jj : do you -- do you have to get that right now ? theresa : oh , no . it 's just your mother . and by the way , she 's the solution i 'm talking about . j.j. : are you paying attention ? my mom is the reason that i do n't have a place to crash . theresa : oh , come on . look , i 've seen the way you work her . just look at her with your big , sad eyes . she 'll totally cave . j.j. : all right . you know , that 's a -- that 's a game i 'm done playing . i 'll figure something else out for tonight . theresa : well , : at about the money i gave you to buy pot ? maybe you could get a really cheap hotel room . j.j. : it 's confiscated . theresa : [ sighs ] hey , this is all the money i have , but , you know , take your time getting it back to me . j.j. : wait . hold on . this is -- this is all the money you have and you 're not worried about when i pay you back ? but you 're -- you 're always complaining about money . theresa : yeah , well , you know , things are kind of looking up on that score . jennifer : theresa .

come on , come on , admit it to me . just say it to my face . eric : okay , okay . i do . i do . but i 've never done anything about it . she does n't know how i feel . brady : how long have you had feelings for her ? just tell me . how long have you been in love with her ? eric : i never said that i -- brady : how long ? ! eric : i guess it started when i came back to salem . brady : about six or seven months then , huh ?

i want you to think , long and hard , about where you are in your life . you know , maybe brady has bailed you out of a few situations over the years , but i 'm willing to bet you 've done the same for him . i do n't want to see you get trapped in a relationship because you feel you owe it to someone . gratitude and love are very different things . [ phone alarm beeps ] nicole : well , um ... sorry , i guess my lunch break is over . abe , thank you for listening . abe : hey . i 'm always here for you . nicole : thank you . eric : you want me to fire nicole ? brady : it seems that that 's our only option . eric : because i care about her , she should lose her job ? brady : yeah . eric : you know what ? i want you to know something . nicole is making a difference here . people are walking in here asking to see her . you know what she 's doing ? she 's helping people get back on their feet and get their lives together . brady : i know that , and i think that 's terrific . but by firing her , you 'll be able to move on with your life . that 's a win - win for everybody , eric . fire her .

[ scene_break ] smith : i hope i 'm not getting too personal , but hope did tell me that you two were no longer together . bo : if you 're implying that i no longer have the legal right to protect her , you 'd be wrong . she 's my wife . we 're not divorced . she 's the mother of my children . and she 's honorable enough to want to pay for what she 's done . but being beat up by inmates , it 's not part of her sentence . so when she gets out of the infirmary , i would like you to put her in isolation . smith : commissioner . bo : yes ? smith : the prison is my jurisdiction . bo : we 're talking about a woman 's life here . smith : and i will do everything i can to protect her . but this is n't summer camp . it 's a prison . bo : and i 'm not asking you to bend the rules or go easy on her . i do n't follow . you came all the way here to tell me that there 's a dangerous situation , and yet you imply that you can not guarantee my wife 's safety . smith : and as i said , i will do everything i can to ensure that she is safe . bo : i 'm sure you will .

[ scoffs ] i guess it 's no secret that john and i did n't really like each other . eric : theresa , he 's not dead . theresa : fine . we do n't like each other . look ... maybe he 'll wake up , and he 'll have some personality change -- a nicer one . i 've been researching trauma cases -- just stuff that was lying around at the hospital . i read that sometimes brain injuries involving extended comatose periods really change a person . i mean , would n't it be better if john woke up and he did n't remember all those awful things he said to brady , how he treated his son ? i mean , if he did n't remember anything about that horrible night at all ? eric : i would n't count on that , theresa . daniel : as you know , there 's been no change in john 's brain activity since we administered the drug . the window for its efficacy could be closing . brady : yeah , but -- but , i mean , it 's an experimental drug , though , daniel . i mean , how can you possibly know how long it 'll take or a window closing ? daniel : but that 's the thing , brady . it may have already closed . marlena : you mean that all of this may have been for nothing ? the first hug is from you . chad : look ... i hope things work out just the way you want them to , kristen . kristen : thank you . i 'm sorry i got a little crazy . things have been so stressful for me lately , chad . chad : yeah , i get it . no worries . kristen : so enough about me . what about you ? i know that it 's no accident that your arrival here coincides with the publication of will horton 's tell - all article about our dear brother ej and his affair with abigail deveraux . abigail : i 'm not gon na ask chad anything , because i do n't believe what he said about you . i know you would never steal , especially from sonny . and i know you . i know that you would never sell drugs . ben : thank you , i guess . abigail : but i did see you give that money to jordan , and it must 've been thousands of dollars , so i 'm just trying to understand what 's going on here , ben . ben : [ sighs ] it was n't my money . abigail : okay , then whose was it ? was it jordan 's ? eric : you seem distressed , theresa . theresa : distressed ? well , yeah . who would n't be ? i mean , it 's a really sad situation , eric . eric : i think the reason you 're distressed and sad is that if john wakes up , then brady and his father 's relationship will be reconciled . i mean , brady -- he wants to make amends with his father , and that threatens you . theresa : no ! i -- what ? eric : if john and brady 's relationship can come together again , where does that leave you ? i mean , since much of that final argument that night was about you marrying brady in las vegas . theresa : yeah . of course . look ... you 're right about everything . it 's just that -- eric , if john wakes up , he 's gon na do everything he can to make me look bad to brady . eric : i find that interesting that you 're making that your main concern when a man 's life is on the line . theresa : that 's not my main concern , eric . eric : i have a lot at stake if that drug works , theresa . i will not be able to go after kristen for ruining my life . to save john 's life ... it 's a small price to pay . theresa : yeah . look , i totally agree . i mean , what kind of horrible , terrible person would n't want john to wake up , would n't want the drug to work ? [ sighs ] god , eric , why are you looking at me like that ? eric : because no matter how much you protest , i - i think you -- theresa , you do n't want john to wake up . and now i finally understand . now i get it . brady : listen , thank you . i know you did everything you could to help my dad . daniel : i 'm not giving up just yet . brady : but you think it 's unlikely that he 's gon na come out of this , right ? daniel : [ sighs ] brady : right , okay . listen , i got to -- i got to get out of here . i got to clear my head . daniel : okay , brady , brady . i understand that you 're angry and that you want someone to pay for what happened to your father . but confronting kristen is not gon na bring him back , and it 's not gon na help you get your life back . chad : that article -- it 's not why i 'm back . kristen : oh , chad , please . you 've got to be kidding me . ej humiliated you in the most horrible way possible . and you know what i 've learned ? ej 's become very adept at doing that kind of thing -- turning his back on his family . chad : i do n't think he sees it that way . kristen : i do n't give a crap how he sees it . he slept with the woman you love , and he turned his back on me . he threw us both under the bus because he 's an arrogant , self - centered son of a bitch , and i 'm holding him accountable . ej : [ laughing ] theresa : i know what you 're thinking . eric : if you were the cause of the argument between brady and john and they were to turn on you because of it , well , that 's something you have to live with . sometimes we have to face the consequences of our own actions . [ cell phone rings ] eric : it 's my mother . listen , i have to get to the hospital . theresa : hey , is it about john ? is something happening ? eric : drug 's not working yet . i have to get going . theresa : [ laughs ] oh , yes . john is n't waking up . and i did n't even have to do anything to make sure that he would n't or explain it at all if he did . [ sighs ] eric , maybe you 're right . maybe there is a god . now brady needs me . brady : i 'm not off to confront kristen . i 'm not off to find theresa . the only person i want to see right now is eric . daniel : okay . all right . brady : he gave up a lot -- almost everything to help save my dad . and you too , man . i mean , you guys here at the hospital -- you 're the real heroes , actually . even if my dad does n't wake up , i 'm appreciative . daniel : i 'll go back to the mansion and wait with you while you track down eric , okay ? parker left a toy there . i got to pick it up . or i could get ahold of eric -- brady : daniel , daniel , not necessary . something i want to do myself , okay ? it 's all good . daniel : all right . well , i 'm here if you need me . all right ? brady : thank you . daniel : all right . brady : see you , man . chad : if i 'd only known then ... kristen : known what ? chad : that you have this , like , sixth sense about stuff . kristen : hmm . chad : you always did give me great advice . kristen : oh . fantastic . you never took it . chad : i wish i would 've . kristen : well , now that you 've realized i am indeed infallible , i 'm gon na give you some advice / wisdom / eh , call it whatever you want that you are gon na take , all right ? chad : let 's hear it . kristen : okay , well , you came back to salem to settle some scores . chad : uh , did i say that ? kristen : told you to shut up . you need to listen to me . listen very hard . commit it to memory . when people hurt you , you have to make them pay . but you can hurt them even worse , and the way to do that is to make sure that they do n't see you coming . chad : keep your friends close . kristen : mm - hmm . and your enemies closer . ben : i wo n't lie to you , abigail , but it 's not my place to explain anything more about that money . i really hope you can accept that . look , things were great with us , honestly , almost perfect . now chad dimera comes to salem for not even , what , exactly a day , and he already has you doubting me ? abigail : ben , it 's not about chad . chad did n't put that money in your pocket . ben : [ scoffs ] abigail : i 'm sorry . if you -- if you ca n't talk about it , i 'm sure that you have good reason , and i do trust you , ben . ben : thank you . abigail : but i have to ask you this ... if we were walking down the street together and an envelope full of $ 100 bills just fell out of my bag , would n't you be curious where i got it ? ej : samantha . sami : what ? ej : shh , stop , hey . hey , i want to see your eyes . sami : [ breathing heavily ] ej : i love you . sami : okay , you need to -- i need you to stop . [ sighs ] ej : tell me . sami : it 's what i 've always been scared of with us . ej : samantha jean brady , you are scared of nothing and no one . sami : i 'm scared that if i do n't hold some piece of myself back ... that if i ever lost you , i would n't be able to survive . ej : when it comes to matters of the heart , you are the bravest person that i have ever met . when i think of all the years that i hated watching you wear your heart on your sleeve for all of those heartless bastards ... sami : [ laughs ] ej : i gave you my soul . i wo n't ask for it back . i do n't have any need for it without you . but the rest ... is up to you . ben : you 're right . i would be curious . and i 'm sorry that i got so defensive with you about it . it 's just that i ... abigail : it 's okay . let 's just drop it . ben : yeah . abigail : oh , i saw your sister before . she seemed upset . ben : did you ask her what was wrong ? abigail : yeah , she was kind of vague , but she did mention seeing someone that she used to know . i 'm guessing i should probably not tell her that i saw you give her the money , right ? ben : well , i ca n't speak for her , but i highly doubt that she 'd want to talk about it . abigail : yeah . ben : look , i 'm sorry , and i hate that i ca n't tell you everything . i do n't want there to be any secrets between us . abigail : i know . and , really , you were just protecting your sister , and i respect that , ben . i do . i would do the same thing for jj . do you really think that things between us before were , um ... close to perfect ? ben : oh , as close as it gets . [ cell phone ringing ] abigail : oh . ben : [ sighs ] my break is over . i have to get back to work . abigail : that 's okay . i 'll remember right where we left off . ben : okay , good . abigail : [ chuckles ] ben : so then we can pick this up when my shift ends ? abigail : yeah . ben : yeah ? abigail : yeah . eric : i 'm so sorry . daniel : yeah . yeah , you know that stuffed bunny you 've been missing ? i found him . yep . yep , and he 's gon na be waiting for you when you get home . i miss you too , buddy . we 're gon na spend a lot of time together . i 'm gon na see you soon , okay ? i love you , parker . [ laughs ] okay . all right , sweetheart . bye . [ sighs ] now , why am i not surprised ? theresa : nice bunny . but i have no idea what you mean . daniel : sure you do . we both know why you 're here . you heard about john . marlena : i want to thank you for being here . i want to thank you for being willing ... to sacrifice the justice you deserved to help john . eric : i just wish that -- marlena : you know what ? you gave me hope ... even for a little while . and that was such a gift . [ sighs ] if anything good comes out of this ... it will be the fact that you get the justice you deserve ... for everything kristen did to you . kristen : hi . brady : bitch . it did n't work , kristen . it did n't work ! ben : just the way you like it . abigail : oh , thank you so much . ben : you 're welcome . chad : [ clears throat ] your money 's no good here . sami : [ sighs ] i want you . ej : say it . sami : [ chuckles ] ej : samantha . i know you trust me with your body . but i want your heart and your soul . i will never give you a reason to cut me out . and i will devote my life to being worthy of you . but i want ... i need the words . this is our time . marlena : we have been through so much ... over so many years . i ca n't ... i ca n't believe ... that now ... i have to find a way to say good - bye to you . kristen : please , just calm down . brady : you have a lot of nerve to tell me to calm down . kristen : the drug has n't been given enough time yet . brady : it 's been plenty . there 's been plenty of time , and it 's not working . i just came from my father 's bedside . we 're losing him . kristen : you do n't know that . brady : all the results from this drug say that it 's worthless . your drug is worthless ... just like you . my father 's dying , and there 's nothing anybody can do . kristen : brady , stop . just listen to me , please . brady : i do n't want to listen to you ! kristen : please . the doctors do n't know what they 're doing . they 're in over their heads . they 've never had to deal with this kind of treatment before . please , you just -- you ca n't give up . brady : why ? because you tell me i should n't give up ? it 's over ! it 's not working ! it 's done ! kristen : i gave you hope , and despite all the lies between us , it 's not false hope . i 'm telling you , it is n't . i did everything i could , brady , to bring your father back to you because -- because i love you . i love you , brady . i love you , and i want to take that guilt that you have , that soul - wrenching guilt that you 're feeling -- i want to take it away from you . i want to give you a chance to learn the truth about what really happened that night . brady : what truth do you want to tell me about that night , kristen ? theresa : of course i heard about john . i do work at the hospital , do n't i ? look , i know that that drug that kristen cooked up was a total bust . daniel : mm , so you came here to comfort brady . you think that 's what he needs right now , a little comfort from you ? theresa : is he here ? what ? daniel : uh , brady is not here . theresa : okay , well , then i 'm gon na go find him . you know , his father 's life basically just ended . i think i should be there to comfort him . daniel : oh , of course you do . yeah . but is n't it gon na be a little hard to hide the relief ? theresa : relief about what ? daniel : relief that john is not going to wake up and tell the world what you did to him that night . come on gang . work those thighs . find you both here . i owe you an apology . ben : you do n't owe me anything . chad : look , can you just hear me out for a minute , please ? i was out of my mind when i got back into town . will 's article kind of sent me over the edge , and i took out a lot of my anger on you . abigail : i already told you that i understand why you would be upset with me ... how what happened must have hurt you badly . chad : it did . it did . and i thought that lashing out at you would help . and it did n't . and it was wrong ... because i know that you never meant to hurt me , abby . sami : `` our time `` ? ej : now and forever . sami : is that really the best you can come up with ? i mean , `` our time `` ? ej , i was with you until the end , but , i mean , i just felt like ... you know , you can do better than that . ej : [ stammers ] sami : [ shrieking ] no ! no ! no ! please ! [ both laughing ] sami : i 'm yours . i 'm yours , ej , no take - backs , finally and forever -- my heart , my soul , whatever you want . ej : i want it all . i want you . sami : i love you . brady : what could a pathological liar like you know about the truth , anyway ? kristen : i know you 're a good person . i know you 're a good man , and you 're a good son . no matter what happened that night in the mansion , you 're probably a better son than john ever deserved to have . brady : watch it . do n't you talk about him like that . do n't you talk about him at all . you do n't know what kind of a father he was . he would 've done anything for me , kristen . he would 've sacrificed anything , even his own life , just to keep you away from me . kristen : but , brady , i know you 've been on this horrible path , and it 's been heading downward , and that you probably feel like everything is wrong in your life and nothing can fixed . brady : it ca n't be fixed , kristen . and the sick thing about it all is that you knew that it could n't be fixed . kristen : that 's not true . brady : you knew that this bogus drug was n't gon na work . you knew it was n't gon na work on my father . kristen : that 's not true . brady : you knew it was n't gon na bring him back , but you also knew that we were desperate and that we would -- we would try anything ... even -- even go to you , as ridiculous as that sounds , for help in the mere chance that my father would possibly wake up from your help . kristen : i wanted that for you . brady : no , you did n't . no , you did n't . what you wanted to do was have marlena and eric and me jump through hoops again and fall apart so you could sit back and just watch everybody in pain . how was the show ? did you like it ? was it fun ? because i 'm losing my dad , and there 's not a damn thing you can do about it . kristen : brady , you know , even if john does n't wake up , if he does n't come out of the coma , there is something else that can be fixed . [ sighs ] brady : hmm ? kristen : it 's the guilt you feel about that night and what happened to your father . theresa : look , i know that you think you 're clever , daniel , but i actually do n't have a clue what you 're talking about . you know what happened to brady and his father that night . daniel : actually , no , i do n't , and neither does brady . no one knows but you . and you have been sweating every second of john 's treatment . you 've been a mess since this happened . you do this nonchalant thing , which is as believable as a ufo story , or you 're in just total panic , have 600 rapid - fire questions -- is he gon na make it ? when is he gon na be up ? will he be up ? and if he is , will he remember ? yeah . it 's pretty clear your emotional state hinges on john 's prognosis . when things look bad for john , you are calm , but when a chance of john waking up seems like a possibility , you just -- you lose it . theresa : i do not lose it . daniel : you 're not exactly subtle . sorry to bust your bubble . theresa : are you high on pharma - grade drugs that you 've been lifting from the hospital , because you 're acting awfully paranoid . daniel : wow . this is fascinating . theresa : `` fascinating `` ? i do n't -- what is wrong with you ? where is this -- this is so out of the blue . where is this coming from ? daniel : actually , it is n't out of the blue or all of a sudden . i have been wondering all along , and now ... i think i 'm pretty close to on the money . theresa : [ scoffs ] i do n't know what you think , daniel , but ... daniel : theresa , you know exactly what i think . was it you ? were you the one who hit john and put him in that coma ? marlena : i have prayed so long and so hard ... that you 'll come back to me , that ... that you 'll come back to us . and now they 're saying that i have to ... find a way to say good - bye to you . john ... i love you so . i love you so . what ? i think -- i think my mind is playing tricks on me now . it just felt like -- abigail : thank you , uh , for saying that , chad . chad : i know you , abigail . you would never intentionally hurt anyone . maybe in a little while ... ben wo n't be so mad . he 'll let me apologize for putting him on the spot the way i did . abigail : why did you do that ? chad : you ca n't blame a guy for being a little jealous . anyway , i 'm trying to be a better person . and i 've resolved to start owning my mistakes , stop blaming people for my failures . i know i 'm the one who blew it with you , abby , not the other way around . that 's something that i have to live with ... learn from . ben . abigail : he was trying , ben . ben : i have zero interest in anything that guy has to say . abigail : okay . is it really the smartest choice to be outright rude to one of the people who owns the place where you work ? ben , all i 'm saying is that i really do believe that chad is sorry , and ... he 's a good guy . chad : [ sighs ] you were right , sis . do n't let 'em see you coming . marlena : eric , he 's holding my hand . he wo n't let go . eric : okay . brady : i will carry what i did to my father with me every day -- every day that i walk this earth . kristen : you do n't have to . [ cell phone ringing ] theresa : you 're accusing me ? how sick are you to try to pin this on me and -- [ cell phone ringing ] kristen : what is it ? theresa : what is it ? brady : it 's my father . marlena : john ... john ... daniel : there 's news . it looks like john ... may be waking up . | chad and kristen reunited in her hotel room . they talked about the things that have happened while he was gone . ej and sami began to make love . theresa hoped that john would n't regain his memory . daniel was concerned that john was n't awake by now . marlena and brady were afraid that the experimental drug was used for nothing . kristen figured out that chad was in salem because of will 's article . abby grilled ben about the money he had . eric thought theresa was upset about john waking up because john was going to break up her relationship with brady . eric realized that theresa did n't want john to wake up . kristen drove it home how ej turned on his family . she wanted to make ej pay for it . brady wanted to find eric . daniel thought he was going after kristen and wanted to go with him . brady lied and said he was going home . kristen warned chad that he should keep his enemies close . ej told sami he loved he and she wanted to stop making love . |

i should -- i should probably be seeing a shrink or something . jennifer : yes . theresa : and i will . jennifer : good luck with that . theresa : my -- my family , they 're -- they 're probably my best hope . i mean , they 're my only hope , really , but if you fire me , then they 're gon na -- they 're gon na turn on me , and i wo n't have anybody . my life will be ruined . jennifer : do you know what , theresa ? i can not even begin to count how many chances i have given you . you have turned your nose up at this job so many times . theresa : no , but i -- jennifer : you just drift in and out of here whenever you please . you lie to me . you manipulate me . but the worst part is , you used my son . and you knew how young and vulnerable he was . and you know what ? i hold you partially responsible for what he 's become . theresa : [ scoffs ] jennifer : yes , i do . because you promised me you 'd stay away from him , and you did n't . you played him . you made him your drug dealer , theresa . theresa : i 'll -- i 'll stay away completely , okay ? jennifer : oh , yeah . theresa : no , this time , no phone calls , no nothing . and i 'll -- i 'll do a really good job , jen . you know i can . i just -- come on , please do n't fire me . please . jennifer : you stole from this hospital , and you are done . theresa : god , you know what ? you pretend like you are so damn fair , but you had it out for me from day one . and you know what ? the only person that you 'll give a break to is sweet little j.j. and you give him chance after chance after chance after chance . jennifer : and look where it got me ! bev : are you sure we wo n't get in trouble ? i mean , you guys just got out of jail . what if we get caught breaking into his apartment ? j.j. : we wo n't be breaking in . my mom 's got a key in a drawer somewhere . rory : wait . i thought you said that she broke up with dr. dan . j.j. : yeah , well , who knows when my mom 's lying ? my money 's on her still having the key . let 's go get it ? bev : yeah . rory : wait . wait . wait up ! daniel : you know , i always thought jennifer and i would be raising parker . you know , a new family , j.j . perfectly okay with it , just like abigail is . brady : daniel , all that -- all that can still happen . daniel : oh , it could . yeah , around the time pigs start landing at salem airport . no , no , all that dreaming is just me being naive . you know , and it 's weird , you know ? the weird thing is , jennifer and i , we have walked through so many fires together , and we made it -- brady : daniel , i do n't mean to interrupt you . i got to say something to you . you know the one thing i 'm familiar with is addiction , right ? well , that 's when you start believing in the lies and you deny what 's real and what 's right . you may not know this , but the underlying message that you 're sending by staying away from jennifer is that j.j. and his lies have won . marlena : so you ca n't tell me about these images , or you do n't want to ? eric : mom , there are some things that i 've never told you because there was n't any evidence to support it . i just did n't think there was any point to it . marlena : to what ? eric : well , daniel thinks that the illness that i had was n't because of an infection or a virus . marlena : well , then what was it ? eric : he feels that i was poisoned . marlena : oh . oh , my god . eric . listen . if that 's the case , finding out about these images is crucial . you have to tell me about the images . eric : i ca n't . it 's just -- they 're so vague . i mean , that 's why i keep asking you about this hypnosis . i just feel if i can just jog my memory , i can understand what made me sick . marlena : good , that might work . eric : well , then recommend someone to me . marlena : i will . me . daniel : well , i hear you , brady . and hey , you 're probably right . the best thing i can do right now is just back away . i told her . i told her . i told jen , `` i 'm here . i love you . call me anytime . `` and who knows ? maybe in the long run , it 'll all work out , but just not now . brady : i 'm sorry , man . i mean , i hate hearing that . daniel : well , i hate talking about it . in fact , i want to get off this damn subject . brady : all right . daniel : what about you , huh ? how are things going with you and kristen ? brady : well , i feel bad telling you this , but things are actually going great . daniel : well , i am very , very happy for you brady . brady : you know , jennifer and i had a pretty good conversation the other day about , uh , you know , that time after the explosion ... daniel : mm - hmm . brady : when she lost jack . daniel : and you lost madison . brady : mm - hmm . we both never felt that we would be happy again , that we would never find someone to make us happy again . i found kristen . i 'm sorry . i just -- i hope to hell you and jennifer find a way to work it out . jennifer : your parents are very dear friends to me , and i wanted to help them in any way that i could . and that is the only reason that i hired you . theresa : and i really appreciate that ; i do . jennifer : but you know what ? i know where they 're coming from , 'cause i have a child who is really troubled . but i 'm gon na do everything i can to make sure that he does not turn out like you , because you are a manipulating , lying thief . theresa : i -- i tried to tell you , okay ? that check -- jennifer : no ! i have learned my lesson , and i am drawing the line . the worst thing that i could do for you right now is to give you one more chance , so i 'm not gon na do it . so get your stuff and leave , because you 're fired . theresa : wow . i am so glad that you 're so nice and you care so much about my family . i -- i 'm glad that you would do the world for them but not me . no , 'cause i 'm some bad seed , right ? [ scoffs ] god , you know what ? my life is gon na be ruined when i walk out this door , and it 's all because of you . jennifer : really , theresa ? if that 's true , if there is someone to blame , look in the mirror . theresa : [ huffs ] j.j. : what 'd i tell you ? the key to dr. dan 's . rory : party time ! bev : oh , yeah . rory : whoo ! j.j. : she 's -- she 's just -- she 's such a liar , man , saying they were over but never giving her key back . bev : you really loved your dad , did n't you ? j.j. : yeah . he was , uh -- he was the best , but he 's gone . we got to go . kristen : hold on , victor . hold on a second . why wo n't you tell me what you and nicole are up to ? victor : why in the world is this so important to you ? what 's the point ? kristen : the point is , you love brady almost as much as i do . and i know that nicole 's story was completely bogus . i saw the two of you whispering , and i can feel it in my bones . there 's a conspiracy going on . i know it . victor : okay , you got us . nicole is deep into the obama birth certificate thing . we 're thinking of going to kenya together to investigate . kristen : you 're incredibly clever . do you want some advice ? victor : if it 's free . kristen : nicole has a bad habit of sticking her nose in people 's business and then wondering why nobody wants her around . this time , she 's trying to get in between brady and me . victor : really ? why would she do that ? kristen : because she 's stupid , victor . she 's too stupid to see what 's coming . she 's going to lose brady , her last best friend . he 's gon na cut her out of his life , and all it 's gon na take is one word from me . i would very much hate to see the same thing happen to you . brady : really ? nicole : ugh . brady : still bending the elbow there ? relax . look , i 'm not gon na give you a lecture . i know better than anyone that that does n't work . nicole : like hell , you do . you 're the one who sicced maggie on me . eric : mom -- marlena : i know . i know . at the risk of seeming -- i do n't know -- immodest , i am one of the best psychiatrists in this part of the country that deals with hypnosis . eric : i just -- marlena : and as it happens , i 'm free . eric : this would just be too uncomfortable , no offense . marlena : no offense taken . okay . let me tell you something . these images , they could be memories , fragmented memories , and they 're very delicate . and you 've got to pull them out and get them in the open . because if you do n't , they could just slip away and become unavailable to you . so it will help if you 'll just share with me what the images are . eric : [ sighs ] mom , i do n't know how to say this . this would just be too uncomfortable if i did this with you . marlena : eric , my goodness . seriously ? honey , you 're a priest . i mean , what could be so bad ? jennifer : what are you doing here ? j.j. : just came to get some things . jennifer : i see that you brought some help with you . i would really prefer it if they could wait outside . rory : sure , no problem . come on , bev . jennifer : what things did you come to get ? because i do n't keep any money in the house . j.j. : clothes , mom . it 's just -- it 's getting colder outside . i needed them . what , do you want to check the pockets for drugs ? satisfied ? jennifer : listen , just because you 're choosing not to live here and live under my rules , that does not mean that you can just come and go as you please . j.j. : all right , fine . i 'll leave , and i wo n't be back . jennifer : j.j. , where are you staying ? j.j. : yeah , like you care . jennifer : i do care . because you just talked about it getting cold tonight . i mean , are you living outside ? because you could get sick , and that 's not even safe . j.j. : yeah , but you 're the one who called everybody in the family and told them to lock me out . so where 'd you expect me to stay , mom ? theresa : hey . kayla : hi . theresa : great news about sami , huh ? kayla : yes . oh , what a relief , huh ? theresa : yeah . sami 's one of the few people in this town that never judges me , you know ? kayla : theresa , i think that there 's a lot of people in this town that have been fair to you and gone out of their way to be nice , including jennifer horton . theresa : oh , god . ew . can we please stop pretending like jennifer horton is such a saint ? she just fired me , by the way . kayla : what ? theresa : yeah . kayla : why ? theresa : i do n't know . she probably got tired of faking it , i guess . kayla : what happened ? theresa : okay . um , this is just between you and me , okay ? i think she took one look at me and , well , you know . i mean , she 's older , and i 'm younger and better - looking -- kayla : oh , for heaven 's sake , stop . theresa : i 'm just saying . kayla : you know , jennifer is a professional . i know that she has had her hands full with you . i have read the file . i 'm just wondering what it is that pushed her over the edge this time . theresa : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . she keeps a file on me ? kay : it 's mandatory . yes , she does . theresa : well , yeah , but she 's -- what , she 's passing it around ? kayla : no , i am chief of staff . i have access . theresa : this place sucks . kayla : no , you know what sucks is that you just lost your job . theresa : but -- yeah , but i s -- i was hoping , like , you know , like , you could , like , transfer me or something . but -- aunt kayla , if i lose this job , i 'm gon na go to jail , and i was just -- i do n't know . if she 's passing around this file on me -- come on . you got to help me , please . brady : look , just a little concerned about you . all right ? and i did talk to maggie . she used to be my sponsor , remember ? nicole : well , she 's not my sponsor . brady : well , you know what ? you do n't need a sponsor to go to a meeting . they happen to have one at the `` y `` at 7th and 9th if you 're interested -- nicole : what is it with you a.a. people ? brady : i 'm a little worried about you right now . nicole : not everybody is an alcoholic . you do n't know what is going on in my life right now or why i came in here for a drink , and you sure as hell do n't know -- brady : actually , you know what ? i do know this . i do know that you were drinking this morning , and now you 're drinking again . nicole : oh , for pete 's sake . brady : and you 're still drinking . i 'm just say -- and it has nothing to do with being jealous over kristen and me or anything like that . nicole : no , i made that very clear , brady . brady : but what it seems -- it seems clear to me that this might be a little cry for help . i think you still have feelings for my brother eric , and they 're not going away anytime soon , and you 're drowning your pain in this . nicole : i told you that in confidence , and it was a moment of weakness . and i also told you that i am past that now , but you ca n't stop , can you ? you just keep throwing it back in my face . eric , eric , eric . eric : i do n't want to keep fighting with you about this , because there 's got to be somebody else you can recommend . marlena : well , i -- honey , it 's late . it 's late notice for anybody . i just do n't -- eric : you know what ? i 'm gon na call daniel , see if there 's anyone who -- marlena : wait . wait . wait . wait . wait . no , no , wait a minute . bill altman . he 's good . he 's in town . let me try him . and , eric , you know this will not be easy . kayla : there is nothing i can do for you . you barely qualified for the job with jennifer , and now with your work history here , there is just -- theresa : wait . are -- are you gon na tell my parents ? kayla : no . that 's something that you should do . theresa : w -- no . i ca n't do that . they 're just waiting for me to screw up . kayla : that 's not true . theresa : it 's so true . i can see my mom , you know , practicing her sighs and my dad trying to sound like -- kayla : i think that you need to tell them sooner than later . they need to make travel arrangements for you . theresa : no , i ca n't go home . aunt kayla , no , i 'm not -- i 'm not -- i 'm not leaving here ever , ever . kayla : you need to calm down . all right , all right . [ cell phone ringing ] kayla : oh , listen , i got to go . this is urgent . we 'll talk about this later , all right ? theresa : but -- jennifer : i ca n't even tell you how much this hurts just to see you upset and hear the anger in your voice . and i just feel like i just keep walking around trying not to cry every second ... j.j. : i 'm not the one to blame . jennifer : because i ca n't figure out what happened to my little boy who loved me so much . j.j. : come on . jennifer : and when i hear you talk about me -- i just want you to know that i love you . i love you so much . i always have , and i always will , j.j . j.j. : i love you too , mom . jennifer : j.j . j.j. : what ? jennifer : one more thing . i -- i need the key . j.j. : what ? [ tablet beeping ] nicole : you know , what i would really , really like is for just one person in this town not to see the worst in me . brady : i do n't . and i know somebody else who does n't either . nicole : of course , eric , right . but the second i say his name , you automatically think i have feelings for him . you are turning into maggie . brady : oh , g -- what is -- you are getting an awful lot of messages . what 's that ? nicole : yeah , i -- i know . i mean , ever since sami got off for bad behavior , eric 's been getting all these emails for interviews and -- and photo shoots and radio , whatever , you name it , and i have to go through all of these for him . brady : do you want me to give you a ride back to the rectory ? nicole : i do n't drink and drive . you know what ? i 'm just gon na hang out here for a while , okay ? brady : will you please -- will you please take care of yourself ? nicole : yeah . i always do . can i get a double espresso ? two peels , please . marlena : i ca n't thank you enough for doing this , dr. altman . dr. altman : not at all . to have you ask me , high praise indeed . eric : well , i think i got all the phones unplugged . let me get my cell phone . dr. altman : now , that 's fine . eric : is there anything else i can do ? dr. altman : no . well , if you get the overhead lights , we 'll leave these two on over here . nothing else . marlena : there . i -- i 'm going to step outside and catch up on my emails . you 're in very good hands . eric : thank you . victor : it must be very comforting to have such a high opinion of yourself , kristen . seriously . one word from you and my grandson would disown me ? kristen : well , i certainly hope you do n't have to find out . victor : my dear , brady 's family was around long before you . and it will be around long after you 're gone . and make no mistake , you will be gone . brady : hello . hope i 'm not interrupting . take a new look ... theresa : face it . you just got upset because your precious little boy thought i was hot .

[ phone beeps ] brady : who 's fired now ? deimos : oh , i was just , um ... i was talking to the head of the security team . i 'm getting tired of waiting for the police to catch orpheus and friends , so i want to put my own team on it . but he 's been telling the rest of the team that he does n't think it 's a good idea . brady : he 's right . deimos : i 'm sorry , excuse me ? brady : he 's right , okay ? it could screw up everything the police are doing . deimos : the police are tripped up on warrants and procedures . in a situation like this , you have to be as ruthless as the criminals you 're going after . i 'm sorry , brady , if you do n't approve of that , but frankly , i really do n't care . brady : hold on , hold on . i understand your frustration . okay , i share your frustration -- deimos : hey ! hey . so , what ? did you change your mind ? decide to move in ? nicole : ah , no , i came to visit theresa . deimos : ah . and you thought you 'd stick around and wait for me to come back ? nicole : do n't flatter yourself . deimos : mm . brady : i 'll leave you two alone . nicole : [ chuckles ] deimos : hey . nicole : hi . so where did you go ? deimos : i , um -- well , i went and joined chloe at her doctor 's appointment . nicole : oh . and how 'd that go for you ? deimos : actually , it went great . nicole : hm . philip : okay , mom , you were right . kate : of course i was . about what ? chloe : philip is n't the baby 's father . kate : [ scoffs ] you just never disappoint , do you ? who 's the lucky daddy ? chloe : deimos . kate : ugh . well , that 's perfect . there 's champagne in the fridge . oh , not for you . i know how careful you are about those things . philip : okay , will you just listen ? kate : i 'm all ears , philip . all ears . philip : deimos followed us to chloe 's ob today . he had justin hand her a court order demanding a paternity test . kate : well , i hate to say i told you so . philip : no , you do n't . kate : the truth always comes out , and now it will . philip : not necessarily . not if you cooperate . kate : and why would i do that ? philip : because you hate deimos . kate : [ clears throat ] philip : and this is your chance to stick it to him where it hurts . [ sighs ] he has everything he wants except a kid , and you have the power to keep it that way . kate : [ sighs ] and how , pray tell , would i do that ? philip : i did a little research on chloe 's doctor . his name is wright . you 've helped raise money for his clinic in the past . he owes you big time .

[ scene_break ] bart : why was jack so tough to kill ? tony : ah , killing him was easy . what was difficult was that we had to find an exact body look - alike because he is a goody 2-shoes organs donor . but thankfully , we were able to make that switch , and no one was the wiser . bart : how about all the others ? tony : well , more of the same . maggie was shot with a dart . marlena -- she was programmed to see the murder . but what was tricky was that i was almost caught by mickey and the policeman . luckily for me , i already had the killer 's mask back on . bart : okay . how did caroline die in the church like that ? i mean , you were n't anywhere around . tony : ha ha . what we did there was drugged her tea , and we timed it perfectly that she would die in church . that was fantastic . and then , of course , there was cassie . i caught her on the way to the police station , so i drugged her and stuffed her in the piñata . bart : but was n't that risky , boss ? i mean , putting that thing up in a public place like that ? tony : no , it was thanksgiving . it was early . not many people about . but i tell you what was tricky was that marlena had gone away with john . she had n't yet been programmed in the confrontation with cassie . so eventually we did that , before she made the confessions to the murders . bart : okay , okay , all right . one thing 's been really bothering me , and that 's victor . i mean , why is he here ? marlena did not kill him . tony : well , we just took advantage of a particular situation of an incompetent killer . when they failed to kill victor , we just walked in , did it , and that was it . bart : so who did it , anyway ? tony : you do n't really need to know that , now , do you ? bart : okey - dokey . tony : mm . next was roman . roman : this ca n't be happening . tony : and then there was doug . now , he was particularly troublesome . we fought . he lived a little longer than i expected . doug : oh . aah . oh . ow . tony : mlelena and i -- we were almost caught by the keystone kops . i only had enough time to inject doug with half a dose . oh , he took so long to collapse . that 's why he had time to write a note incriminating marlena . bart : which alice horton found . tony : yes , thereby sealing her fate , the poor thing . i did n't mean for her to become a victim , but we could n't afford to have marlena caught prematurely . everything had to go according to the master schedule . now , marlena had to be killed . the tricky part was so many people out there that wanted her dead anyway . ah , the timing of that was so crucial . we shot the dart into her heart by a sharpshooter ... ha ha . i 'm sorry , but he was also under our employ . bart : ha ha ha ha ha . man . i - i -- i 'm -- i feel privileged , like i 've been let in on houdini 's secrets . tony : well , there you have it . bart : not quite , boss . not quite . not quite . you 've accounted for everybody -- everybody but yourself . you were the only one who was attacked in a public place . why the hell would you put yourself through that ? tony : oh . ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . right . because they all suspected me . i was arrested , remember ? so i had to think . in order to accomplish all the other killings , i had to become the next victim myself . bart : but , boss , you were very nearly really killed . tony : yeah . yes , i was . oh , yeah , my death did get a little sloppy .

[ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kate : so no one knows better than i the agony of having samantha brady sink her hooks into your son ... but along with that agony comes a perverse knowledge of who she really is , and i think i know her better than anyone . stefano : your point ? kate : you keep searching for the trigger that made her shoot ej . you think because she had already won that she did n't have a motive . stefano : that 's right . kate : you see , i think that she decided to shoot ej the second she found out that he had taken sydney . now you and i , we are -- we are feeling , passionate people , and we would have picked up that gun straight away . but not sami . because she 's cold and she is calculating and she has ... an innate sense of self - preservation . so she -- she would n't strike without an alibi . she hooked up with rafe . who knows ? maybe she even drugged him , and then she returned here to get her revenge . you see , when sami does something , she does n't want to pay . stefano : this time ... she will .

i - i love you , melanie , and all -- all i 'm trying to do is just keep you -- melanie : [ sobbing ] keep ... me . gabi was right , huh ? if she had n't shown up , you would 've killed nick . chad : [ stammers ] you 're just angry right now , okay ?

i only saw testing labs on those pages , and they do n't keep blood supplies . jennifer : well , then you just saw part of the list . you see , because when you type in `` blood labs , `` a lot of things come up on the search , but i can assure you , i am contacting the correct people . daniel : really ? for what , jenn ? jennifer : you want to do my job for me ? daniel : i do n't want you to get hurt . jennifer : oh , i 'm not going to get hurt . daniel : okay , you hear ej tell his lawyer that he still believes that nicole 's baby is his and that he 's gon na push for a dna test . in the same day , i just see you with a list of dna labs . come on , what am i supposed to think ?

[ door opens ] chad : [ crying ] gabi : you need to go upstairs , and you need to rest . nick : uh , in a minute . you went over to melanie 's tonight . did n't you ? that was the -- the quick errand . that 's how you knew chad was there . because of me ? gabi : yeah , but not in the way that you think . nick : did you tell her about the fight ? gabi : yeah . look , chad 's a thug , and melanie needed to hear it . you -- you were saying that -- that we needed to take responsibility for the things that we 've done and how that makes us free . nick : yeah . gabi : well , i 've been a really rotten person , and i needed to own up to it . nick : get out . gabi : no , seriously . nick : [ laughs ] i seriously doubt that . gabi : you 'd be surprised . nick : yeah . i would be . but it does n't matter . gabi : of course it matters , nick . nick : we 're all of it , gabi . everything we do . and to me ... you 're a guardian angel . rafe : i 've got to -- to , uh , check in with the station . sami : oh . rafe : but i 'm sure you 're busy too . right ? sami : oh , no , actually . my mom has the kids tonight . rafe : oh . sami : i did n't mean that . rafe : no , no , no , i know . sami : i mean , i did n't mean it the way it sounded , you know , like that we have the apartment all to ourselves . rafe : i get it . sami : i just meant that i 'm not busy . you know , i 'm totally free . rafe : well , enjoy it . sami : [ laughs ] i will . thanks . rafe : yeah . sami : um , good night . rafe : night . sami : and , uh , um -- and thank you . i had a really nice time tonight . rafe : me too . sami : see ya . rafe : i 'll see you . hey . | chad tried to stop gabi from telling melanie the truth . gabi felt that it was time that melanie learned the truth . nick wanted to leave the hospital , but maxine told him he could n't leave until kayla released him . nick wondered if she was a friend of melanie 's . he let her know that she had nothing to fear from him , but maxine thought someone had a reason to fear him judging from his bruises . chad warned gabi to shut up , but she did n't . she apologized to melanie for betraying her in the worst way . nicole saw jennifer packing up her things . nicole thought jennifer was putting her out tonight . jennifer let her know that she has to get out when her baby is born . nicole said that daniel told her that jennifer talked to him about ej . jennifer let nicole know that it had nothing to do with daniel . nicole did n't believe that . rafe and sami went on their date . rafe took sami to the pub . he was n't sure if she would want to eat there since she was dressed up for their date , but she was fine with it . rafe ran into daniel at the pub and they talked about ej investigating nicole 's baby 's paternity . when daniel left the pub , rafe and sami continued with their date . sami asked rafe how nicole was doing . rafe seemed confused , but sami let him know that she overheard him talking to daniel about nicole . jennifer and nicole continued to talk about daniel . nicole rubbed it in to jennifer that daniel was going to be over there with her all the time . jennifer did n't care about what was going on between nicole and daniel . melanie was upset that gabi and chad betrayed her . melanie thought that chad wanted to throw gabi out because he did n't want her to tell the truth . chad let melanie know that he would never cheat on her . gabi let melanie know that they were n't together too . gabi told melanie that chad loved her ( melanie ) and that andrew was n't really a stalker . gabi told melanie that she made up being stalked . gabi continued to explain how she got andrew to pretend to be her stalker . melanie was very upset that gabi betrayed her that way . melanie expected more than an apology . melanie yelled at gabi and told her to get out . chad asked melanie if she was okay . melanie wanted to know why he did n't want gabi to tell him the truth . melanie realized that chad knew what gabi did and did n't say anything to her about it . |
jennifer : what are you talking about ? theresa : i can help you get your son back . jennifer : why would you do anything for me ? theresa : that 's not the question . the question is do you want jj to come home ? jennifer : how on earth are you supposed to make that happen ? theresa : trust me , i can . look , jj listens to me , so i 'll have him a move back in voluntarily and i 'll get him to work things out with you , but first you have to get me my job back . deal ? jj : there 's lots to drink . bev : some of these dvds are cool . rory : yeah . it 's too bad dr. dan 's not going to stay away for a whole month . i could learn to like this place . bev : [ laughs ] daniel : zip ! boom ! parker : [ laughs ] daniel : yeah ? what do you think of daddy 's hotel room , huh ? yeah , this is where i 'm gon na stay while you and your mom -- [ knock on door ] daniel : uh - oh . who 's that ? chloe : hey stranger . daniel : hey . chloe : it 's been a while . victor : abigail . abigail : mr. kiriakis , hi . it 's good to see you . victor : it 's good to see you too . let me get right to the point . your mother is making some very bad decisions . she needs help . abigail : okay . well , there 's been some rough times right now at home -- victor : i know all about your brother , but pushing daniel away is not the answer . it 's not gon na help your mother . it 's not gon na help jj . it 's certainly not gon na help my godson . but now , i know she listens to you . so what you can do -- nicole : oh , victor , please leave this girl alone . kristen : kristen ? hey , hey , what is it ? what 's wrong ? marlena : can you describe her to me ? what color hair does she have ? eric , who is she ? who is she ? eric : blonde . marlena : okay . she 's a woman with blonde hair . do you know her ? eric , try to see her face . kristen : i do n't understand . something 's happening . brady : what ? what ? kristen : something horrible .. chloe : oh , my god , my big boy ! money has missed you so much . oh , sorry i 'm squeezing you so hard . [ gasps ] you 're so big . oh , it always seems like it 's so long . daniel : i know . i know . chloe : ooh . [ growls ] parker : [ laughs ] chloe : so , you 're my big man . [ gasps ] are you ready for our very first sleepover ? daniel : oh , my gosh . he 's been talking about it for a week . chloe : [ laughs ] daniel : and you know , i do n't have any early appointments , so you can bring him back here anytime tomorrow morning . so -- yeah . and park , come on , kid . why do n't you go over there -- come here . ready ? and go get your bag . chloe : [ laughs ] daniel : and do n't forget f that little bear , okay ? over to that bag right there , kid . go see if you can get it . find that bear . chloe : [ sighs ] um -- daniel : he 's -- he 's psyched .

eric : mom , i 'm a long way from being all right . what did i say what i was under ? marlena : you said there was a woman in the room and that she was a blonde . eric : are you sure that 's all ? marlena : i asked you if you thought you knew her , and you nodded . eric , what else did you remember ? brady : kristen , hey , hey , hey . listen to me . it was -- it was just a feeling . kristen : [ gasps ] brady : no , no , no . listen , there 's nothing to worry about . i 've known you for a long time . i 've never known you to be clairvoyant . kristen : [ scoffs ] i know . i do n't think i am . i do n't know . whatever it was , it was very strong -- very strong feeling . it was like ... brady : honey ? kristen : somebody walking on my grave . theresa : god ! you are impossible . i mean i know you had it out for me , like you hated me from day one , but -- jennifer : no , theresa . i gave you every single chance . theresa : oh , my god , but no , i 'm telling you i can get you your son back , and you 're just telling me to take a hike ? jennifer : yes , i am . right now as a matter of fact . theresa : [ scoffs ] you know what ? you are just like my parents . whenever they had a chance to make the wrong move , they made it in spades . and you know what the sad part is ? i like jj . i really do . he is -- he 's cute and he 's got that whole cool - guy thing going for him , lots of energy and smarts . but what he does n't have is a mom who knows what the hell she 's doing , and she does n't even care that she does n't know . i -- i feel sorry for both of you . jennifer : [ sighs ] rory : yo , check this out . we could unload this anywhere . we can get at least a bill . jj : hey , dude , no . put that back , man . bev : what 's up , jj ? you hate dr. dan . why not let rory rip him off for a little extra spending cash ? jj : because his kid would know that it was missing right away . i do n't want to do that , man . i do n't want -- i do n't want parker getting upset . he 's just -- he 's really into his video games , and he 'd probably cry or something . rory : so you 're all gooey about that little boy ? jj : no , just use your head , dude . if the kid misses it , then daniel knows he 's been robbed . and then he calls the cops . do you want to get arrested for something else ? rory : no . bev : no . jj : okay , then . bev : yeah , jj 's right . we really need to be careful . okay , we ca n't take any of his stuff or drink any of his booze . jj : rory . bev : it would just be stupid , asking for trouble . rory : [ sighs ] fine . so can we get high or something ? bev : yes . chloe : daniel it -- it 's important for me to say ... thank you . you know , after all the things that i did to you and jennifer , and for you to give me this new beginning . we both know you did n't have to , so thank you . daniel : hey , well , chloe , you got help . you were n't seeing things realistically . now you are . i know how much you love parker . chloe : more than anything . and , uh , this program -- my therapy , it 's -- it 's done wonders for me . it 's been great . daniel : good . chloe : you know , there 's no denying that i loved you , of course , but trying to hold on to you when it was wrong for both of us -- daniel : okay , it -- it 's done . you do n't -- chloe : no , it -- it is , but i want you to know that i 've finally learned that even if you do love someone , there is a time to let go . victor : just butt out , nicole . this is a private conversation . nicole : abigail , he 's just gon na give you some long - winded spiel and try to get you to do what he wants you to do . just please , feel free to walk away whenever you want . abigail : no , no . actually , it 's okay . i agreed with mr. kiriakis . my mom should be with daniel . he is a great guy , and they were great together . but mom says that it 's best if daniel stays away , and -- and daniel says the same thing . so -- victor : that 's because they 're being stupid . nicole : oh . stupid is mr. kiriakis ' specialty . victor : zip it , nicole . abigail : okay . i could try to talk to daniel . maybe he would listen . victor : good , do it . do -- tonight . it 's very important . abigail : okay . yeah . well , it 's -- it 's not too late . i 'll go over there right now . victor : excellent . let me know what he says . abigail : of course . okay , good night . victor : good night . nicole : bye . victor : [ sighs ] any more smart remarks ? nicole : anyone else 's love life you want to interfere with ? night 's young . brady : hey , hey . it 's nothing . nothing . do n't worry . i 'm real . you 're real . our love is real , okay ? kristen : i was just so scared . brady : of what ? kristen : brady , no matter how much you and i love each other , something 's gon na come along and destroy it . brady : uh - uh . no . no way . not ever . eric : i do n't remember anything . marlena : eric , of course you do . eric : no , in hypnosis , any kind of suggestion could be interpreted as a memory . marlena : not necessarily true . eric : i must have been imagining things and thinking they must have been a memory . marlena : let 's talk about the things that we think we know . eric : i know nothing . marlena : you remembered there was a woman in the room . that 's entirely possible . and if she were there , that would be very upsetting to you . now , there are lots of reasons for that , eric , but let 's remember what the doctor said . daniel said he thought you 'd been poisoned . maybe this woman poisoned you . maybe she hurt you . what do you think ? eric : nothing . i do n't want to talk about this anymore . marlena : honey , i 'm trying to help you get to the bottom -- eric : no , mom , i do n't need your help . the subject is closed . it 's done . marlena : eric , what are you hiding ? victor : you sure you 're not looking at another shot to snag yourself a doctor ? nicole : oh , please . would you just delete that from your file ? i just want daniel to be happy always with the woman he was destined to love . jennifer . victor : [ sighs ] nicole : now what ? victor : you know , you 're still the same pathetic romantic that you always were . now you think everybody 's got the perfect soul mate just waiting for them out there somewhere . and you , of course , are gon na find yours . what a crock ! nicole : you have the longest string of failed relationships in human history . and then you found maggie . why ca n't i hope that something like that would happen to me ? daniel : um , chloe , you know what ? try not to look back 'cause you have a whole lot goin ' on for you . you know , one of these days , you will meet someone who 's right for you , and you 'll build a -- you know , a whole new life . chloe : maybe . what about you and jennifer ? have you guys set a date ? daniel : okay , let 's not talk about personal stuff , okay ? i just -- chloe : okay , sorry . i -- daniel : okay . chloe : i -- it 's just a little weird . since i got here , you have n't really mentioned jennifer 's name once . there 's nothing wrong , is there ? jennifer : please tell me you did n't come here to talk me out of firing theresa . kayla : no . no , it 's -- it 's final . i 'll do the paperwork in the morning . jennifer : thanks . i guess we should possibly talk about pressing charges . kayla : pressing charges ? jennifer : kayla , i caught her embezzling hospital funds . kayla : what ? jennifer : yes . she signed her name . she issued herself a check from my discretionary account . kayla : oh , my god . jennifer : of course , she did n't mention that to you , did she ? kayla : this just keeps getting worse . jennifer : all right , listen . technically , she did n't steal because she did n't cash the check . okay ? and she was so desperate to keep her job that maybe firing her was punishment enough . kayla : oh , well , going back to l.a. , she 's gon na face punishment , all right . rory : i 'm feelin ' like some rap . bev : oh , no . come on . it 's so boring . [ scoffs ] [ knocking on door ] abigail : daniel , are you home ? kristen : i do n't know how you do it , but you always make me feel better . i wish we could just bottle whatever it is to give me so i can take it with me wherever i go . brady : well , you have it . it 's right here . you always have my love with you . kristen : you have mine too . [ cell phone buzzing ] brady : oh , no . kristen : it 's okay . go get it . brady : no , not now . i do n't want to . kristen : yes ! it could be eric about the pre - cana meeting we have tomorrow . maybe he 's setting it up . brady : all right . nope , it 's work , and i can handle that from -- no , damn it . kristen : what ? brady : to handle this , i have to get something from the house . kristen : that 's okay . that 's okay . i 'm better now . you go do that , and then i 'll check with eric about the sessions . brady : you do n't have to . kristen : oh , i know i do n't have to . believe me , i know . brady : [ laughs ] kristen : but i want to because as soon as we get this pre - cana stuff out of the way , the sooner we can set a date . and if you have n't noticed , i ca n't wait . brady : i have n't noticed . double that for me . eric : hiding anything , mother . it 's about -- you remember -- you remember when you said if i did n't recover my memories , they could disappear very soon ? marlena : yes , eric , but that -- eric : i think they 're gone . i think the things that i seem to remember while i was hypnosis is -- it 's fake . i should n't have agreed to do this at all . marlena : oh , i -- father matt : oh , sorry to interrupt . eric : no , father matt . you are not interrupting . actually , i need to speak to you alone . my mother was actually about to leave . i 'll talk to you tomorrow , okay ? marlena : sure . my phone 's always on . eric : thank you . father matt : nice seeing you , marlena . marlena : father , so good to see you . eric : we -- we were just finishing up our first hypnosis session . father matt : oh , did you remember anything ?

if you 're looking for dr. jonas , he and his little boy went on a trip . abigail : oh , really ? that 's weird . i could 've sworn i heard voices when i got off the elevator . maybe someone leaving a message on his answering machine ? abigail : yeah , maybe . thank you . huh . jj : oh , that was too close . daniel : um , let -- let 's try to concentrate on parker , right ? that 's why we 're here . chloe : yeah , i just assumed you and jennifer , that that was a topic that 's not really off limits . daniel : uh -- you know what ? parker , what you -- what are you eyeballin ' over there , kid ? what 's goin ' on ? what is this ? parker : [ laughs ] daniel : what is this ? parker : it 's a present . daniel : it 's a present ? well , it does n't look like the bear , and it certainly does n't look like your overnight bag . what -- what have -- what have we got going on here ? parker : [ laughs ] daniel : a game ? parker : yes , this is a game . daniel : [ gasps ] it 's a game . chloe : oh , um , honey , yeah . we can -- we can play this game , but you have to wait until we get to mommy 's place , all right ? daniel : actually , parker thinks it 's best if three people play . chloe : really ? you like three people to play this game ? daniel : yeah . chloe : oh . oh , it 's you and jennifer play with him . daniel : okay . you know what ? i bet i know what 's on your mind . i 'll bet i know . do you want me , you , and mommy to play that game ? do you ? does that sound good ? well , let 's get it on ! game on , kid . game on ! parker : [ laughs ] daniel : game on ! ha - ha - ha ! parker : [ squeals ] daniel : it 's game on ! i 'm gon na take you down . marlena : victor , i 've come to give this back to you . there 's no sense in me carrying it around . victor : what is the matter with you , woman ? that thing is priceless . it 'll cut through the password on any smart phone , download the information in seconds , and you do n't want to use it ? marlena : i 'm not going to get a chance to use it . we might have to admit that i am not gon na get this done . i can not get my hands on kristen 's phone . victor : something happen to you today ? marlena : yeah . it 's eric . i have been so worried about brady and kristen and sick about sami that i have forgotten all about my son . victor : what about him ? marlena : well , you know , we just -- we all assume because he 's a priest that he 's strong , that he can take care of himself , but he ca n't right now . i need to focus my attention on helping him . victor : what 's wrong ? marlena : i wish i knew . all i know is that something is eating him alive . victor : you too , from the looks of it . marlena : well , yeah . you know what ? we assume that he 'll be okay , that because he 's a priest , he 's -- he 's strong and he 's kind and he 's good . and the truth is he 's only human . eric : the dream that i keep having and whatever happened to me in that hotel room are definitely connected . i just do n't know how . father matt : and you think this woman you keep seeing tried to hurt you in some way ? eric : possibly . the thing is that i had this picture in my head of this woman being dark - haired , but tonight , i could clearly see that she was blonde . and i had this distinct feeling that i know her . and i keep thinking about ... tonight , why someone would want to hurt me . kristen : [ gasps ] eric : god , i want you like i 've never wanted anything . jennifer : hi , baby . have you heard from your brother at all ? abigail : no , i have n't , mom . jennifer : okay . 'cause i 'm just wondering where he 's gon na spend the night . you know , it 's supposed to get really cold , like down into the 40s i think . abigail : do you want me to call him ? jennifer : i do n't know . will he talk to you ? abigail : maybe . i do n't know . i mean , i hope so . do you want to talk to him ? jennifer : uh , no . i mean , i probably -- abigail : mom , how 's jj ? gon na know that you care about him if you do n't tell him ? jennifer : honey , he knows that i care about him . i have told him that i love him over and over again . it is up to him now . jj : oh , man , it 's my sister . rory : oh , my god . she knows that you 're here . jj : it 's my phone , you idiot , not daniel 's . rory : oh .

[ laughs ] jj : she 's just like that , man . she just -- just wants to help . caroline : theresa , we have talked . roman agrees , kayla agrees , and i agree . so there 's no point in playing us one against the other . theresa : you 're all against me ? caroline : no , we -- we 're not against you . it 's just that -- theresa : can we just skip the lecture , okay ? caroline : it 's not a lecture . i made mistakes . plenty of them . but i changed , and that 's 'cause i got sick and tired of my life being miserable all the time . so if you change , you 'll find the whole brady family on your side . that 's a promise . eric : i 've read it . it 's not that good . nicole : should you be here ? eric : i need some advice , and you 're my go - to . nicole : okay . what 's up ? eric : do you think i should leave the priesthood ? nicole : what ? eric : come on . every priest has a little bit of doubt . mine just is a little bit larger . nicole : okay , but you -- you ca n't do that . you do so much good . it would n't be right . eric : i 'm human , nicole . i have the same needs and desires as every man . i care about you . no , that 's not true . i want you . i love you . nicole : [ sighs ] eric : what if all these ideas in my head are just figments of my imagination ? i only wanted answers , and now i have all these questions . father matt : you need some quiet and prayer . god offers peace overall . eric : you 're right , as usual . father matt : if you need me , my door 's always open . eric : thank you . father matt : good night . [ tapping on door ] victor : eric is an adult , marlena . stop meddling and keep your eye on the prize . you 're the one that told me that kristen had lied to brady . marlena : oh , great . we 're back to that . victor : well , it 's kind of important , do n't you think ? marlena : look , i ca n't do anything about this . has that not become abundantly clear to you ? victor : [ sighs ] so what are you gon na do ? are you gon na give the bitch a pass ? marlena : i wish you would understand my position in this thing . brady : how we doin ' ? abigail : mom , i know that you 're really torn up about things right now , so i 'm not gon na push , okay ? not about jj , and not about daniel . jennifer : thank you . abigail : but i am going to say that i am so happy that you fired theresa . jennifer : yeah , well , that 's something i should 've done a long time ago . abigail : you know , if you need help , i 'm happy to come in between classes to help you with filing and stuff . jennifer : thank you , honey . that 's really sweet . i would love that . abigail : okay , yeah , i 'll be there . you know , it occurred to me tonight that right now , we 're all we 've got . chloe : will you get your toys and go to your bag so that we can go , please ? daniel : here you go . chloe : [ sighs ] thank you . be careful . oh . daniel : [ laughs ] yes , that 's your child . chloe : thank you . daniel : mm - hmm , you bet . chloe : um , hey , i was just wondering if i could have a little more alone time with him tomorrow . can i drop him off a little later ? daniel : yeah , sure . i just have a patient i really need to see , so no later than 11 : 00 ? chloe : deal , thank you . i appreciate that . but you know what ? if you leave now , you could actually get home and sleep in your own bed tonight , and i would n't mind driving parker back to salem myself tomorrow in -- in the afternoon or something . would that work ? rory : what 's the problem , dude ? you 're always ragging on your sister . jj : yeah , it does n't mean you can . yeah , my family 's messed up , but it 's not abigail 's fault . it 's 'cause of this son of a bitch . bev : hey , let 's get high . okay ? i rolled a joint . jj : yeah , go -- go smoke it by the window so you do n't stink up the place . bev : oh , anybody have a lighter ? jj : there 's got to be a lighter around here somewhere , or matches . all right , here you go . bev : awesome . kristen : am i interrupting ? eric : its fine . come in . kristen : i just wanted to confirm our session for the pre - cana meeting tomorrow . eric : oh , i 'm sorry . i was supposed to send an e - mail to you and brady . um , 11 : 00 . okay ? kristen : yeah , that 's totally fine . i 'm really trying very hard not to be nosy , but are you okay ? you seem upset . eric : tired . is there anything else ? kristen : no , that 's it . i 'll see you tomorrow . eric : good night . kristen : night . eric : [ sighs ] brady : what 's up with you today , granddad ? you 've been arguing with everybody today . victor : just a bad mood , i guess . brady : marlena , you look awfully serious . thought you 'd be walking on air once sami was cleared . marlena : i am . it 's the best news i 've had in ages . brady : say that again . marlena : mm - hmm . well , i should get going . i 've got some early patients . sorry about tonight . brady . brady : bye - bye . what 's goin ' on ? and i can already smell it coming , so fair warning . no bull . theresa : ugh , i hate this town . i hate this hell hole , but i ca n't go home . damn jennifer . damn that stupid woman .

ej : i feel the same way . you know , i - i really -- i do n't think i would be able to recover if i lost you again . sami : why would you lose me ? ej : there 's something i need to tell you ... something i thought would n't come out , and it -- and it may not . you know us dimeras . i mean , we -- we do n't spill unless our backs are really up against a wall . sami : so now ... ej : i just -- i do n't want us to have any secrets anymore . that means i have to share everything with you , which means i have to tell you everything . chad : so ... you said you wanted to talk about something . will : i do . come in . have a seat . chad : [ clears throat ] it looks like you and i have some catching up to do . hope : hey , marlena . you okay ? marlena : oh , a sprain . hope : oh , i just heard the news about john . he 's waking up ? my god , that 's wonderful . marlena : well , i 'm -- i 'm trying to steel myself , you know , just sort of stay objective . hope : yeah , okay . marlena : because there 's no guarantee of -- of what he 's going to remember or who he might remember . i mean , he could see somebody that he loves and not even realize who they are . [ monitor beeping ] john : [ weakly ] son ? brady : dad ? you 're here . you know -- you know me ? john : of course i do , son . brady : [ chuckles ] daniel : only time will tell how much the patient will remember what happened to him the night of the trauma . kristen : brady did n't do it ! daniel : do what ? kristen : hit his father over the head . it was theresa . theresa 's the one that put john in a coma ! oh , i can see it in your eyes . you heard the great news , right ? john is waking up . glory be , glory be . i know that you are just as thrilled as i am , are n't you ? hope : marlena ... it may take some time , but i really believe that john 's coming back to you . you 're going to make sure he does . marlena : it 's a little overwhelming , you know ? i mean , i wish i could turn off the doctor part of my brain that knows all the dangers and just ... and just live in the faith . hope : well , your faith has been sorely tested , but i think it 's still hanging in there . oh , gosh , i better get going . i 'll check back later , okay ? marlena : yeah . hope : take care of that arm . marlena : [ chuckles ] hope : oh , uh ... how 's brady ? marlena : he 's in with john . hope : i know he 's been hard on himself over the fight with his dad . marlena : well , if john survives , they 'll have to deal with that . right now we just want to make sure that he wakes up . kristen : i do n't know . i just -- i ca n't stop wondering what john 's very first words are going to be . theresa : oh ... well , i think this is great news for brady . i 'm thrilled for him ... kristen : mm - hmm . theresa : since i 've been there for him through all of this . kristen : that 's so sweet . but if you 're so team brady , then why are you at the mall ? why are n't you at the hospital with him right now ? brady : you have no idea what it means to hear your voice . john : what ? brady : dad , you -- do you -- do you know where you are ? do you know what happened to you ? my budget used to be a real downer , chad : you must be really proud of your writing . will : my editor gave me this . i 'm going to hang it up right there . it 'll be great when my mom comes over ... ej ... abigail . no one wants to forget about this little piece of journalism . chad : [ chuckles ] and so what do they have you working on now ? will : well , first of all , i 'm not with truvista anymore . i 've moved on to sonix . chad : yeah ? that 's a big step up . will : well , that 's actually what i want to talk to you about . they want me to do a cover article for my first assignment . chad : yeah ? what 's the subject ? will : you . chad : [ chuckles ] sami : well , you ca n't just drop a bomb like that and then not tell me what it is . come on , ej . ej : i knew about what kristen did to eric and why . sami : really ? ej : she told me just before the wedding , and i ... i ke -- you know , i - i kept it from you , and then i lied to keep you from knowing . sami : i see . ej : look , she told me , she swore to me that she really loved brady ... and that what happened with eric was something that she deeply regretted . and she knew that if it came out , she was going to lose brady . she -- look , she chose him over revenge on your mother . sami : bully for her . ej : look , samantha , please , what i want you to know is that i 'm not , and was n't , covering for her . i was trying to hold on to you . i could n't undo what kristen had done ... but i knew that if the truth came out , it was going to get between us . and you might recall , things were not going well between us at the time . sami : i recall . you did n't have to tell me this . ej : i know . it 's a calculated risk . i need to you see that i can be honest with you , but ... i also know this may be too much for you to bear . sami : you did n't have to tell me , because i 've known ... for a while . brady : dad , do you -- do you know where you are ? john : [ breathes deeply ] [ door opens ] marlena : john ? john : hey , doc . [ both laughing ] theresa : you know , you keep bothering me like this , and i might have to go get a court order of my very own . kristen : oh , you 're such a tattletale . you told brady about our conversation , did n't you ? theresa : yes . i did , and he was very protective . kristen : of you ? theresa : mm - hmm . kristen : you honestly think he cares about you ? by all means , go find him . you know where he is -- right by his father 's bedside . i bet he ca n't wait to talk to his dad , take a little walk down memory lane . theresa : i have to go . kristen : say hi to john for me . give brady a great big hug . bitch . daniel : hey . brady : hey , hey . marlena : oh , daniel . brady : he said he knew me . he called her `` doc . `` daniel : well , that -- that is great . all right , let 's -- let 's not exhaust him . why do n't you wait outside ? and i 'll , uh -- i 'll take a look . marlena : okay . brady : okay , all right . marlena : honey , we 'll be right outside . you 're going to be fine . [ door closes ] daniel : john ? can you open your eyes ? john : [ sighs ] daniel : do you know who i am ? john : [ breathes deeply ] hey , daniel . daniel : that 's right . john ... do you remember what happened to you ? chad : so my guess is , writing that article about ej and your mom made you a hot property as a writer and the dimera family a hot property as a subject . will : people are always interested in powerful families . but up until now , all of the articles have come from the outside . you 're a member of the family . chad : all right , so what -- it would just be about ... where have i been ? what have i been up to ? how i feel about coming back ? will : something like that . chad : and how i feel about my brother sleeping with the woman i was in love with . ej : so wait a second . you knew about kristen , and you still came back to me . sami : because i realize that you are the kind of guy who would have done something about it if you could have ... and that sometimes , mr. dimera , lying is just a reflex . ej : it was that lie that started everything . i mean , i lost -- i lost my mind . sami : [ chuckles ] ej : hey . i - i know you love me . [ irish accent ] but i 'd like a little bit of reassurance that that irish temper of yours ... sami : [ laughs ] ej : has finally run its course , you know . i do n't think i could take going back to jail or anything like that . sami : i had to get retribution out of my system ... but i have . ej , i have to tell you , i ... the fact that you were honest with me means more to me than anything . it means ... that you want to make this work . ej : how did somebody like me ... ever end up being so lucky ... as to meet somebody like you ? sami : i have no idea . [ chuckles ] mmm . daniel : wow . it 's , uh , quite a day . marlena : is he all right ? daniel : he 's good . he 's good . he -- he knew me too , so ... brady : [ chuckles ] marlena : oh , thank god . daniel : but we all need to understand that these interactions , though positive , are really exhausting on him . so he 's just getting a little rest right now . marlena : well , there 's no chance he 'll slip back into the coma , is there ? daniel : marlena , he is out of the coma . he is just resting . we 'll get answers to all of our questions , but probably not today . marlena : may i just go sit with him ? daniel : uh , sure , sure . but i 'm limiting his visitors to just the two of you . i know i can trust both of you to let him get the sleep he needs to recover . marlena : thank you ... for everything . daniel : okay , please , please do n't thank me . i did a job , that 's all . i am just -- i am so relieved for you ... for your whole family . okay . brady : hey , hey , listen , did , uh -- did dad say anything else when you were in there ? daniel : [ exhales deeply ] no . no , i would n't let him if he tried . but , uh , brady , let me repeat ... you need to be patient . brady : i know . i know , but there 's just -- there 's a lot i want to say to him . i got to tell him i 'm sorry about what i did . i need to say that to him . daniel : [ sighs ] you know what , brady ? that -- that is something you can not do . here , come on . let 's go to my office . come on . come on . kristen : when john wakes up , he 's going to have some very interesting tales to tell . stefano : john black ? interesting ? [ laughs ] that must have been some blow to the head . kristen : what he says could profoundly change how brady feels about everything . stefano : look , how many times do i have to tell you to stay in the moment , right , okay ? the best laid priests -- no , no , no , i mean `` plans , `` can go wrong . kristen : it 's so much fun talking to you , father . stefano : [ chuckles ] as a matter of fact , i just sent you something on your phone to remind you to never , never overestimate your position . kristen : could you please just stop lecturing me ? oh , my god . hope : marlena and the doctors are cautiously optimistic . caroline : oh , that 's great . oh , thank you so much for coming in person to tell me the news . hope : it 's nice to finally have good news for a change . caroline : yeah . hope : yeah . caroline : that 's -- that 's not the only news , is it ? it 's not the only reason you dropped by . hope : you 've always known me so well . caroline : is it about bo ? hope : this is , yes . it is ... about bo . chad : i 'm just ... not really sure i want to share my feelings in print . will : i get that . and i have an out . if you do n't want me to write the article , i wo n't . but you should know that no matter what , this story is going to be written , as my editor said , by someone who will ... not work as hard to protect you . chad : [ chuckles ] so i do n't really have a choice in the matter ? but you do . so the question is -- do you want to write the article ? i mean , i 'm pretty sure there were people who were less than thrilled with the article , your journalistic debut . will : one or two . chad : and your second feature on a dimera ... maybe you should write something a little less close to home . [ both chuckle ] ej : wow . who knew full disclosure could be such a turn - on ? sami : [ laughs ] yeah . ej : [ sighs ] sami : ha . god . ej : what ? sami : i was just thinking about how most couples , when they go through tough times and then they find their way back to each other , how their family is really happy for them . ej : you do n't think that our rapprochement is going to be greeted with universal celebration ? sami : if by `` celebration `` you mean everybody doing everything they can to try and tear us apart . ej : [ sighs ] well , it 's just you and me against the world . that 's how i like it . sami : me too . but there is one person we 're going to have to deal with . i mean ... how are we going to tell your father ? stefano : does that bring back memories ? kristen : you know , honestly , is n't it enough that i see her in my nightmares -- that horrible creature you found ? stefano : mm - hmm . that horrible creature undid both of us . kristen : i do n't care about susan . i do n't care about her weird obsession with john . all i care about is brady , okay ? that 's who i 'm focusing on , and i want to know what 's going on with him . good - bye . daniel : medically , we need to let john set the pace . given his disorientation , it 's a very confusing time for him . we ca n't barrage him with questions or details . brady : all right . daniel : john will talk , in his own time . but i need you to promise me that you are not going to lead the conversation or put something into his head that is n't there . brady : i 'll do whatever you tell me to do . i promise you that . daniel : thank you . all right , i need to go . joanna is dropping parker off today . brady : daniel ? daniel : yeah ? brady : you told marlena that he wo n't slip back into a coma . does that mean the drug worked ? daniel : well , it would , uh -- it would seem that way . brady : [ chuckles ] daniel : yeah . brady : it 's crazy . i mean , there are -- there are going to be so many people who are going to be so happy to hear about that . marlena : what are you doing here ? theresa : uh , i - i work here . and also , i - i heard the good news . john 's awake , right ? marlena : yes , he 's , uh , out of the coma . theresa : well , i 'm just thrilled . marlena : funny -- you do n't look thrilled . you look a little scared . chad : so ... you think that i have a better shot at a `` fair article `` if you write it . will : you 're sonny 's partner and , i hope , my friend . yes , i would try to be fair and accurate . chad : and it would be good for your career , right ? will : yes , it would be good for my career . chad : so ... that 's what you get out of it . what do i get out of it ... a little payback ? will : if that 's what you 're looking for , then i 'd go with someone else . i 've already hurt abigail , and i wo n't do anything else to cause damage . i 've already done enough of that . chad : okay , so you have to protect abigail . what about ej ? do you have to protect him too ? will : well ... if i 'm quoting you , then they 're your words , not mine . chad : my words ... in print . [ smacks lips ] i 've got some thinking to do . i 'll get back to you . will : [ sniffs ] [ door closes ] ej : number one , as i have told you many times , you 're the mother of his grandchildren . that means a lot . and two , what you did was motivated by ... anger , revenge . on a certain level , those are qualities that he admires and respects . sami : i think we should stick with the family thing . you know , your grandkids would be really upset if their nonno killed -- rubbed out their -- their mommy . ej : he knows that . he does . look , it 's not going to be easy . i 'm sure when he comes back , he 's going to be more than a little bit angry with you , but with time , he 'll be fine . he 'll forgive you . kate , on the other hand ... [ telephone rings ] ej : is in -- one second . sami : what ? ej : oh , it 's harold . i mean , if he 's calling us , i suppose it must be important . yes , harold ? really ? i think you should release the dogs . it 's your mother -- she 's coming . sami : what ? stop it . ej : [ laughing ] i 'm joking , do n't release the dogs . sami : oh , my god , i have to get dressed . ej : hold on one second . she called . she 's going to be here in a minute . sami : oh , my god . all right , well , let 's get dressed . tell him -- ej : hold on one second . harold , why do n't you just send her right up ? sami : harold , ignore him . stop it . ej : he 's not there . sami : [ sighs ] she probably talked to my dad , and she 's coming here to try to convince me what a huge mistake i am making . ej : she might surprise you . sami : i doubt it . you know what ? it does n't matter ... because i am the only one who gets to decide who i love . caroline : you heard something ? hope : no , i have n't heard anything . caroline : oh , is it something i 've forgotten ? hope : no , no , nothing -- nothing 's happened , and ... nothing 's changed . we still do n't know where bo is or what he 's doing or ... when he 's coming back , if he 's coming back . caroline : well , say it , would you , please ? just say whatever you came here to say . hope : that i love you ... that you 've always made me feel a part of bo 's family . caroline : but you are . hope : caroline ... i 've prayed every day since bo left that he would come back to me and to ciara , to our life together . [ sighs ] marlena was talking about faith today . i 've lost faith . i do n't believe he 's coming home . i really do n't believe that he 's , um ... i really do n't believe that 's going to happen . caroline : [ scoffs ] so i 've decided that -- caroline : no , do n't -- no , stop . would you please just stop there ? [ knock at door ] daniel : i missed you so ... much . kristen : i need to talk to you . daniel : well ? kristen : that was a lot easier than i thought it would be . [ sighs ] okay , so i know john 's waking up , okay ? so will you please tell me what 's going on ? oh , come on . i will beg if i have to . daniel : [ chuckles ] no , no need . it 'll all be public knowledge soon . yeah , john did wake up . he recognized brady and marlena and , uh -- and me . kristen : that 's wonderful . daniel : yeah , we still do n't know the extent of the trauma , how well or how quickly he 's going to recover . it 's still a bit of a -- bit of a process . kristen : yeah , but the process has begun , has n't it ? daniel : mm - hmm , yeah . kristen : thank you for sharing , daniel . daniel : well , it was calculated on my part . i figured if i did you this courtesy , then maybe you can do me one . kristen : uh - huh . i know what you want . daniel : yeah ? kristen : you want me to help you nail theresa because you know i 'm right . you know she 's the one that hit john over the head . she 's the one that put him in a coma . theresa : well , i 'm -- i 'm certainly not scared . but i - i am concerned . i just do n't want brady to have to relive that horrible night all over again . i mean , he 's already so upset about what happened to his father . marlena : well , i think brady is grateful that his father 's improving . not especially concerned about himself right now . theresa : well , no , no , that 's not what i meant . i mean , i 'm just really worried about brady a - and john too . i mean , i 'm not a doctor , but i ca n't really see how going over what happened that night could be good for john either . maybe we should just all count our blessings , you know ? marlena : mm . oh . brady : i was just talking with daniel earlier . marlena : uh , i - i was going to head out and tell sami the good news . would you mind just -- brady : would i -- sitting with dad ? no , that 's where i want to be . in case he wakes up , he wants to talk or something , i want to be there . i 'll call you if anything happens . marlena : perfect . thanks . brady : you bet . theresa : hey , brady . brady : hi . sorry . i am preoccupied . theresa : yeah , i can see that , and i 'm worried about you . look , i know you , and i know that you ca n't wait to talk to your father , but ... i also know that you probably should n't listen to anything he has to say . daniel : i do not know what theresa did . i do n't know if she did or did n't do anything that night . kristen : you 've got to be kidding me . you know that you have suspicions . daniel : and john -- maybe he 'll tell us one day , maybe he wo n't . but , ah , no , it 's really not -- not about theresa . come . now ... i want you to just take a few minutes and really listen to what i 'm going to suggest ... 'cause i want you to try to hear what i 'm saying , not just with your mind , but with your heart . you leave brady alone . kristen : [ laughs ] brady 's a big boy . daniel : is he ? kristen : yeah . he can take care of himself . daniel : good work on that `` really listening `` part , yeah , 'cause , see , i was n't finished there . so what i 'm asking you is to leave brady alone , not just for his sake ... but for yours . your kids get used to sweaty odors in their room . chad : expensive . yeah , i 've been in that store . ca n't get out of there with one of those bags for less than 10 grand . ej : it 's the thought that counts . chad : wait . so is that a bribe to get sami to take you back or a payoff because she already has ? marlena : there you are . sami : hi , mom . marlena : i 've been calling you . sami : oh , that looks way worse than you said on the phone . marlena : [ chuckles ] it 's fine . sami : are you okay ? marlena : i 'm fine , i 'm fine , i 'm fine . sami : ej left so that you can tell me off -- i mean , talk to me in private . marlena : well , i 'm not here to tell you off . i 'm not here to talk about you and ej . i 'm here to tell you that john is awake . sami : wait . what ? marlena : [ laughing ] he 's awake . sami : mom ! that 's amazing ! marlena : i know , i know , i know . i could n't wait to tell you . [ laughs ] theresa : i 'm just worried that you dad 's going to make you feel bad about what happened that night . brady : theresa , i ... bashed his head in with a poker while i was drunk and high . you do n't think i should feel bad about that ? theresa : well ... i - i mean , it was n't your fault . you were acting in self- defense . but i mean , john could be delusional and say all kinds of crazy things . brady : well , if that is the case , then he 's going to need me . but more likely , if he remembers anything , i 'm going to have to face him theresa , and i 'm going to have to own it . theresa : yeah , but you already have owned what you did , and i - i mean ... it 's not your fault that he slept through it . brady : hold on . hold on . it was my fault . he did n't choose to be in a coma , okay ? i did that to him . see , this is exactly what i 'm talking about , brady . i mean , you feel so guilty , and you 're acting like everything that happened that night is all your fault and it 's only your fault . you seem to skip over how he acted . brady : i do n't remember how he acted . i do n't -- 'cause i was out of it . theresa : uh , but , well , i mean , are you just going to take everything that he says at face value ? i mean , what if -- what if he -- he tries to paint a different picture about what happened that night ? brady : why would he do that ? theresa : i do n't know . maybe his brain 's scrambled or something or ... brady : or -- or ? theresa : or , brady , what if he wants to make somebody else pay for his mistake ? brady : why would he do that ? theresa : i do n't know . i mean , he -- he -- maybe -- he was just so angry that night , and -- and what if he tries to shade things ? brady : what do you mean `` shade things `` ? are you -- are you saying that he would lie ? theresa : i do n't know . i 'm just really worried about what 's going to happen . brady : okay , let me tell you what 's not going to happen . he is not going to lie . there are so many times , theresa , where i ... have mistaken what he was saying or what he was doing . i thought he was trying to hurt me . i could n't have been more wrong about it . that man loves me . my father loves me . and whatever he has to say to me in there ... i 'm going to deal with it . theresa : brady ... [ monitor beeping ] kristen : well , i 'm sure that it , uh -- it keeps you up at night worrying about my welfare . daniel : uh , you know , i am worried about brady . i think it 's best for him for you to leave , and i think your staying here would be really , really bad for you . kristen : mm , again , your concern is so touching . daniel : all right , look , you know that little road trip back to salem that we took in the back of that truck ? kristen : mm - hmm . daniel : yeah . see , i saw a part of you that really missed that time with brady . i saw that you really did love him . still do ? kristen : i still do . daniel : yeah ? you wanted to do the right thing for him . so i 'm appealing to that part of you that 's ... kristen : what -- human ? is that what you 're trying to find -- that crazy word `` human `` ? daniel : something like that -- not quite . first of all , no matter what you believe about you and brady , ai n't going to happen , ever . so , no matter what you do , you 're never going to get back with brady . kristen : okay . i ca n't accept that . daniel : not really your call . kristen ... you are very beautiful . you 're very smart . your life is n't over . it 's far from over . i think there 's someone else ... that you can love ... not someone who is -- is the son of an ex - lover , not someone who is a means to an end , not someone who you feel the need to manipulate . so , for brady 's sake , but really ... for your own ... move on . kristen : oh , so ... what i 'm hearing is that you think that instead of a boy , that i need , um ... i need a man , right ? maybe someone that can ... handle me ? i had no idea that you were so interested , dr. jonas . i 'm only in my 60 's . caroline : so you came here ... to tell me you ca n't do it anymore . you ca n't ... you ca n't wait for bo . hope : not like this . he 's deserted me . caroline ... i ca n't not know what my life is . caroline : so it means ... ? hope : i 'm filing for divorce , caroline . ej : my relationship with samantha is none of your concern . chad : come on , bro , we 're family . everything you do is my concern . oh , by the way , high marks on some world - class philandering . not many guys could do it with the brother 's girlfriend , the wife 's maid of honor , get it immortalized in print , and still get the wife back . so you must be really good in ... negotiations . ej : if you wish to keep living in that house , i suggest you start treating samantha and myself with a little bit more respect . chad : oh , well , see , do n't you know that you ca n't command respect ? you have to earn it . ej : it 's good to have you back , chad . it 's nice to see you 've grown up finally . chad : [ sighs ] [ cell phone ringing ] will : so ... what 's up ? chad : that article you wanted to write ? let 's do it . will : are you sure ? chad : positive . sami : i just ca n't take it . i am so happy for you and -- and for john . marlena : i know . i knew you would be , but ... why did ej have to leave us alone for that ? sami : oh , uh , no , not that . i just -- well , we thought that daddy would have talked to you . marlena : well , i spoke to him , but he just said that you and ej were getting closer again . sami : yeah . well , i mean , i thought you would rush right over here to tell me that i was being an idiot . marlena : sami ... what you are is a grown - up . and if you decide that ej is what you want and he 's going to make you happy , you 're deciding that with your eyes wide open . and all i have ever wanted for you in your whole life ... is for you to be utterly happy . sami : well , thank you ... mom , 'cause ... i am . [ sniffles ] [ crying ] thank you , mom . marlena : oh , honey , i 'm so glad . i 'm so glad . sami : [ crying ] daniel : kristen ... in your wildest dreams . kristen : [ laughs ] actually , in your wildest dreams . sorry to disappoint you , but i 'm not going anywhere . [ door opens ] kristen : so you can go ahead and worry about brady . i will worry about me . theresa ... she can just worry ... a lot . [ monitor beeping ] brady : [ scoffs ] you 're hands are like ice . i 'm going to get you another blanket . i 'll be right back . theresa : [ exhales shakily ] well ... it 's now or never .

[ laughs ] never thought i 'd have a folder entitled `` wedding venues , `` though , you know . jennifer : wedding venues ? clyde : yeah , it 's amazing what you can find out online . here , here 's the one . what do you think of that ? jennifer : mr. weston ... clyde : clyde , please . jennifer : clyde ... i think it would be best if we let abigail and ben decide where they wan na get married . clyde : well , you know , i know abigail 's got a good head on her shoulders and , uh , i wish i could say the same thing about ben , but the fact is they 're both still kids . you know ? and kids do n't always make the best decisions . abigail : this is just a misunderstanding . ben : no , no , no . abigail : yes , it is . ben : it 's a lot more than a misunderstanding , abigail . abigail : no , ben -- ben : this is you -- this is you breaking your promise to me to stay away from this bastard . and now you expect me to make you my wife ? when you lie so easily ? why would i do that ? i wanted to do this a while ago , but i made something for you . abigail : you ma -- okay . what ? wh -- you made this ? my god , it 's beautiful ! i did n't know you could do this . i mean , most of the time , chad , you are trying so hard to do anything you can to get us together , and now i 'm here and it feels like you 're trying to get rid of me . chad : abby , i am not trying to get rid of you . that is the last thing that i wan na do . chad : hey , it 's okay . it 's okay , it 's over . it 's over . marlena : you ... you ... chad : no , it was n't me . it was n't me , there was somebody else here . marlena ... marlena . marlena : do n't touch me . chad : shh . it 's okay . it 's okay . hey . hey . hey . no , no , no . no . oh ... hey . hey . hey . rafe : yeah , i 'm at the hospital . i 'm gon na follow up with marlena again . see if she has any thoughts on what kind of sicko killed serena mason and ... paige larson . [ phone beeps ] rafe : son of a -- oh , thank god . this is detective hernandez , i 'm in marlena evans ' office . she 's been attacked . we need medical assistance right away . we need help in here ! jennifer : i thought that you had more faith in your son than to question his decisions . clyde : no , no , no . do n't get me wrong , i think that asking abigail to marry him was the best move that ben ever made . jennifer : right , right . and so now they 're gon na get married , and they 're gon na be starting their lives together . and they 're gon na be making decisions , decisions a lot more important than where they 're going to get married . and we , as parents , we just need to back off . clyde : yeah , but you got a real advantage over me on that . you know , you have been a great , hands - on mom from the very beginning for your kids . and i got a lot of time to make up for . jennifer : okay , and i can understand that , but i just feel like -- clyde : i see this wedding as something that ben and i can go through together , you know ? and i have a lot of business contacts , so i can save 'em money on flowers and catering and all that stuff . and that business is such a racket , they can see a naive kid like ben coming from a mile -- jennifer : i just think you need to stop going on and on about this wedding , 'cause you might not even be there . ben : you look surprised to see me . i do live here , you know ? abigail : of course i know . ben : then why are you still here ? what were you just doing ? abigail : i was just a million miles away . ben : you spend a lot of time there . abigail : [ sighs ] i was looking at this . and i was thinking about how much i appreciated the fact that you made this for me . ben : yeah , well , it was n't anything fancy or expensive , but -- abigail : ben . ben : i guess i 'm glad you still like it . abigail : i love it . ben , i love you . ben : you know , like i said before , you 're still here . did you forget the part where i broke off our engagement ? abigail : i just told you what i was still doing here , ben . i 'm here because i love you . and i have to get you to understand that what you think you saw between chad and me ... ben , you 're overreacting . ben : [ scoffs ] i kinda love how it 's always my fault . abigail : i - i did n't say that , ben . i do n't even think that . ben : no , but you do think that when i walk in and i find you alone with a guy that means nothing to you , alone in a hospital room , and he 's touching your face ... you think that if i 'm not just fine with that , i 'm overreacting . abigail : ben ... you saw exactly what you were looking for . ben : he was -- he was touching you . abigail : yes . yeah , he was . ben : yeah . abigail : and yes , chad and i have history . and yes , i do n't treat him like an enemy . ben : well , see the situation , abigail , is that he keeps hitting on you , and you do n't make him stop . abigail : ben , do n't you think that me marrying you is kind of sending a message that he 's not the one i want ? i have to get you to see that he is not your rival . ben , he is not a threat to you . i love you . i wan na marry you . i wan na raise our child together . and chad ... chad ca n't keep that from happening . but you could . ben : [ sighs ] you know that is what i want more than anything in the world . abigail : i know -- i mean , i think -- i think i know . i just , i think that you ... you get in your own way . ben : then let 's fix this now . right now , i think there 's a way -- only one way to have it the way you just imagined our future would be . come away with me tonight . and we 'll leave salem for good .

[ laughs ] jennifer : i mean , maybe a little , but ... clyde : yeah , that 's your gentle way of telling me i 'm overstepping , right ? jennifer : look , clyde , i understand it . my only daughter is getting married , and i want it to be perfect too . but i also know my daughter . she has a really sweet side , and she is really sweet , but she also has a real spine . and this is her and ben 's wedding . you and i , we 're supporters , that 's it . that 's all of our part in all of it . clyde : seems like you got quite a spine yourself . jennifer : i am what you call a protective mother . clyde : then i better watch my step . listen , i 've said before , i got a lot to make up for with my kids , and i do get carried away , but , you know , things just have a way of unraveling . i seem to be the only one who can make things right . jennifer : you think you are , clyde . clyde : yeah , i do . but a lot of the time , i am right . you 're quite a remarkable woman . i look forward to a closer relationship once the kids are married . abigail : why ?

jordan : i guess you do . like i said , i am really sorry for the pain that i caused , and i have no intention of ever hurting you again . ciara : what are you doing here , jordan ? jordan : i came to return this . ciara : that 's the gift that ben got for david . jordan : i know . i want to give it to you to avoid another fight with my brother . ciara : what 's wrong with ben getting his nephew a present ? jordan : look , i 'm sure you think his heart is in the right place , but i ca n't accept things from ben . ciara : why not ? jordan : because i ca n't afford to have ben influence or infect david in any way . ciara : infect ? jordan : there is evil still inside of ben , and there always will be . i can not allow that around my son . ciara : ben is not evil . jordan : look , i 'm sorry , ciara , i 'm sure he has you fooled , but you have to trust me . an evil like that never goes away . brady : and now that she is kristen again , she 's up to her old tricks . she 's trying to seduce me and reel me in . sarah : and you 're afraid that you might cave ?

is that it ? brady : i 'm not gon na -- i ca n't change her . she 's kristen dimera . sarah : how did it go when you saw her earlier ? brady : i looked her right in the face , and i said , `` kristen , nothing is ever gon na happen between us . `` sarah : good -- how 'd she take it -- was she upset ? brady : no . no . she shrugged her shoulders , she smirked at me , and said , `` well , if you say so . `` right ? sarah : she 's that confident that you 'll end up together . brady : yeah , and that is what is unsettling to me . it 's as if she thinks it 's just a matter of time , like she knows something . sarah : or she has a plan . brady : it ca n't happen , no matter how much i 'm drawn to her . i 'm never gon na give that woman another chance . hope : jordan was released into your custody ? rafe : well , not exactly . she just needs someone who can vouch for her . hope : after everything she did to ciara ? i have to say , i -- rafe : hope , she has no family here , no one who can look out for her . this way , i can keep watch on her , okay ? not to mention i can keep david in my life . hope : how does she seem ? rafe : okay . a little fragile , i guess . hope : but the doctors at the hospital -- they released her with a clean bill of mental health ? rafe : yeah . she still has to stay in close contact with her doctor till she 's readjusted back into society . i understand . hope , i understand you have absolutely no reason to trust her . hope : damn straight . she tried to kill my daughter , rafe . i do n't want jordan anywhere near her . rafe : yeah . well , it 's a little late for that . ciara : ben is a good and caring person , jordan . jordan : well , i can cite a few dead people that would argue otherwise . ciara : no . no , because if you had actually spent time with him the last time you were here , you would have seen how he 's changed , and maybe you would n't have lost it and got sent away to bayview in the first place . jordan : i was sent to bayview because you -- look , i have made mistakes , okay , but it was ben 's actions that pushed me to extremes . ciara : extremes ? extremes ? jordan , you tried to kill me . jordan : i was trying to get you to see how dangerous ben is . he is the one that belongs in bayview . ciara : oh , my god , you 're still delusional , are n't you ? jordan : i see things really clearly . ben is clyde weston 's son , and he will always have his influence coursing through his veins and if you do n't see that , you are just creating more trouble for yourself . ciara : yeah , you know what , i think it 's time for you to go . jordan : okay . i did what i came to do . you still have a chance to save yourself . ciara : [ small laugh ] thank you . thank you for your concern , but i know your brother , jordan . i love him , and i always will , so ... jordan : it 's your funeral . ciara : wait . i 'm giving you a second chance . why ca n't you do the same for ben , huh ? jordan : because he does n't deserve one . marlena : is it possible that you are overreacting to jordan 's release ? ben : overreacting ? she tried to kill the woman i love , and then when i was alone with her , she -- marlena : go on . ben : [ sighs ] she said that she was sure ciara was going to get hurt . marlena : by her ? ben : not exactly . but when i called her on it , she claimed that she meant that i was going to hurt her , but i know what she really meant . marlena : i 'm gon na tell you something right now . i want you to listen . i want you to stand down , and do not engage with your sister . ben : it 's not me . she 's the threat . marlena : listen to me ! you have worked so hard to get your life back together . do not engage with her . ben : fine . if you ca n't do anything to help me neutralize jordan ... then i 'll find a way to do it on my own . thank you . nyquil severe gives you powerful relief lucas : i want to do the right thing for you . i do , but i do n't wan na say good- bye . i want to honor your life . i want you to live on .
