i mean , come on . would n't you do anything to protect melanie ? daniel : yeah , but that 's not what you did . you did n't protect her . you flew into a rage , and you beat an innocent guy to a bloody pulp . chad : look , nick is not innocent . daniel : you could have killed him . gabi : okay , is it too early ?

gabi : yeah , he never did . i mean , yes , he -- he kidnapped melanie , but -- but , um ... rafe : what are you -- what are you talking about ? he never did ? gabi : rafe , um ... andrew was never a stalker . i paid him . maggie : so do you want me to take these back to the house until you decide ? melanie : just return it . maggie : you sure ? melanie : yeah . whatever happens , i 'm gon na want a fresh start anyway . maggie : okay . um , i 'll put this in the car and -- and , uh , i 'll go down to the square and get you one of those soy concoctions that -- from the coffee house , i guess . melanie : right , well , that sounds good . thank you . maggie : all right , is there anything in this beautiful kitchen that you can make for breakfast ? melanie : in the fridge ? uh , mustard ... maggie : okay . melanie : wilted lettuce and a gray apple . maggie : oh , wow . melanie : i 'm gon na order us some breakfast . maggie : well , now , that sounds good . melanie : and it 'll be here by the time you get back . maggie : okay . melanie , um ... i 'm not gon na call . so do n't feel the -- the need to , uh , pick up the phone , unless you want to speak to chad . you know he 's not gon na give up . melanie : i know . maggie : do what 's best for you , okay ? chad : i would n't have killed nick , okay ? i know that that is not who i am . daniel : gabi stopped you . we may never know now , will we ? chad : look , have n't you ever had to -- had to fight to keep someone safe ? i mean , it happens . sometimes in order to -- to protect the one you love , you have to fight . daniel : yeah , but that 's not what happened yesterday . do you hear how unbalanced you sound right now ? chad : i - i do n't think i 'm -- i 'm making myself understood . i -- so i 'm frustrated , okay ? that -- that 's what you are hearing in my voice . daniel : mmm , i do n't think so . chad : i - i feel like the f -- the future i have with melanie is sitting right here between us . daniel : you know what ? i wish it were , because right now , that 'd be an easy decision . chad : did melanie tell you she wants to postpone the wedding ? daniel : yeah . chad : well , i bet you and mrs. kiriakis are happy about that . daniel : you know what ? it 's melanie 's decision , but yeah , the wedding ? we thought the wedding was a little too rushed . chad : look -- okay , look . we -- we were ready , okay ? i - i love her . daniel : i 'm sure you think you do . chad : it 's true . daniel : is it ? if it 's true -- if you really love my daughter , then you will stay away from her , and you will get some professional help . chad : wait a minute . y - you think i 'm sick ? daniel : because the anger that you unleashed yesterday is not a one - time deal . you need to check yourself . look , i know your adopted father was not a walk in the park . and i know the dimeras are not the greatest role models ... chad : okay . daniel : in this department . chad : look , it 's not like that . daniel : chad , you need to decide who you want to be . and until you do , you need to stay away from my daughter . because she 's been through a lot , and you know that . now , if you love her , if you truly love her , you will not put my daughter at risk . chad : i am not a risk . god , daniel , this -- this is getting out of control , okay ? look , i know i messed up , okay ? but i would never do anything to hurt melanie . i - i 'm gon na make this up to her , i promise you . daniel : okay , forget about all that . melanie has family . she has me . i will take care of her . you need to take care of you . and you need to leave her alone . can you do that ? chad : i 'm sorry , but i ca n't just walk away . gabi : i thought for , like , a minute ... i thought , `` okay , everything is gon na be okay . `` but the truth is that i wake up every day ... and i know that the reason that melanie got kidnapped was because of me , and the reason she nearly died was because of me . rafe : [ sighs ] gabi : your face ... rafe : what ? gabi : say something . rafe : [ scoffs ] what do you want me to say ? gabi : i know . i know that i did horrible things , and i hurt people . and i thought that that was the worst part until this minute . you ca n't even look at me . you hate me so much , you ca n't even stand to look at me right now . sami : oh , my god . if i do n't focus on work , kate will be right , and that is reason alone to -- all right , so rafe goes to get coffee about now . if i happen to run into him between here and the coffee shop -- oh , my god , i am such a stalker . [ sighs ] but , hmm , would n't be the first time . [ knock at door ] sami : hey ! [ laughs ] how about that ? you totally saved me from -- ej : oh , i 'm always happy to save you . on your way out ? sami : yes , i was , um , leaving . you know , business . ej : without your laptop ? this is about rafe , is n't it ? sami : no . okay , fine . but it 's not like i 'm planning something . ej : you do n't have to lie to me , samantha . i know you had a date with him last night . sami : i did n't say anything about lying . ej : [ laughs ] you always lie . i mean , that 's a given . the question is , how did it work out for you ? when it comes to getting my family to eat breakfast , caroline : yes . roman : see you later . caroline : okay . bo : later , bro . roman : take care . hope : tick - tock , tick - tock . bo : uh , yeah . hope : guess the clock is ticking . bo : mm - hmm . hope : so ? what do you want to do ? bo : everything . i want to go , i want to stay , i want to take ciara to that pumpkin patch thing . i want to nail the , uh , south street carjacking gang . i want to put dimera away for everything that he 's done . and then i want to be an astronaut . hope : [ clears throat ] of course . bo : yes . hope : but what do you want to do next week ? bo : oh , yeah , there is that . hope : yeah . ooh . all right , i have to get to the school . i have to be there in ten . bo : oh . hope : but , um , i am free by lunch , if you want to do a drive - along . bo : ooh . hope : mm . bo : that sounds sexy . hope : it can be . very sexy . bo : [ chuckles ] you know , i 've had this , um , idea rattling around in my head . hope : yeah ? bo : i want to discuss it with you once , you know , i get everything kind of nailed down . hope : mm - hmm . i 'll be waiting . bo : okay . hope : you 'll figure it all out . bo : uh , yeah . hope : you always do . later , brady . bo : later . hope : oh . the phone . bo : yeah . hope : see you later . love you . [ door closes ] caroline : any , uh , life - changing decisions you 'd like to share with me ? [ laughs ] bo : uh , roman ratted me out , huh ? caroline : no , bo , i still got ears , you know . come on . come on , bo . tell your ma about it . daniel : if you do n't get help with your anger and give my daughter some breathing room , you will have to deal with me . take care of yourself . chad : w - wait . hold on . listen , um ... melanie 's phone . she 's gon na need it . daniel : yeah ? how many messages from you ? chad : three . daniel : that 's enough . that is enough . i will give this to her , and she will decide . chad : [ sighs and sniffs ] [ grunts ] i 've got ta make this right . rafe : gabi -- gabi , just hold on a se -- hey , listen , listen . would you stop ? listen to me . listen . hey . you 're my sister . you 're my sister , and i love you no matter what . okay ? gabi : yeah , but look , you do n't know how scary it is . rafe : yeah , well ... [ scoffs ] i 'm thinking . you know ? and i 'm -- [ exhales sharply ] this is a lot to take in at once , you know ? and i 'm -- and i 'm trying to plan the next move , and ... [ laughs ] i 'm a little -- i mean , you -- you did this all over chad ? gabi : i know , i know . how stupid can i be ? i mean , i know , it sounds so stupid . you know what ? you know what , rafe ? you know what the worst part is ? the worst part is , i could hear ari in my mind . i could hear her chewing me out , telling me , `` it does n't matter how lonely you are . you never give a piece of yourself up for any guy , because it 's not worth it . `` she was so strong , and i do n't -- rafe : no , she was n't always strong . she made mistakes too . i 'll tell you one thing . she definitely would 've been chewing you out for this . gabi : i just wish she was here . [ sobs quietly ] rafe : me too . gabi : okay . [ inhales ] rafe : okay . all right . gabi : i did what i did , okay ? rafe : yeah , you did . gabi : i get it . no excuses . and now i have to pay the consequences , right ? rafe : yeah , you -- you do . gabi : okay . rafe : and you will , okay ? gabi : yeah . rafe : it 's gon na be okay . i have faith in you , and i 'm glad that you brought this to me , okay ? so it 'll be okay . gabi : yeah , well , i just did n't want you to be surprised when i walked into the police station . rafe : yeah . gabi : um , actually ... i want you to go with me so i can turn myself in . rafe : no , no , no , no . no . uh , no , that is not happening . i 'm not letting you do that . [ key rattling at door ] melanie : i thought you had to work . daniel : no , i , uh , have a later shift . so how 'd you sleep ? melanie : fine . daniel : fine ? melanie : yeah . daniel : see , that 's what you tell your grandmother . but now you 're talking to me . melanie : right . i kept my eyes closed . i have a lot to think about . daniel : yes , you do . you do , and i want you to get every chance to do that with a clear head . so i paid chad a visit this morning . nick : you should go . chad : i will . okay ? i just , uh -- i just wanted to say that i -- i know i - i messed up . and i am so sorry . ej : so if it 's children first , job second , what does that make rafe ? is he a child , or is he a job ? sami : you 're mad . ej : [ chuckles ] no . actually , uh , i 'm not mad . i just do n't quite understand why you felt the need to lie to me . sami : i did n't lie . i mean , i did n't mean to lie . i did n't plan on dating rafe . it just happened . ej : okay , so how did that work out for you ? sami : okay . i 'll be honest . ej : i think you just were . sami : something did happen . do you have a rolling pin ? bo : yeah , i know it sounds crazy to even think about giving up a job where i have seniority , a steady paycheck -- especially in this economy . caroline : well , there are some people who would think that anytime . bo : but , ma , i j -- i need a new challenge . caroline : i said some people . one of them is not me . bo : really ? caroline : no . you 've got to have a challenge . i mean , if you do n't keep your blood going , you know , you -- you rot . bo : you sound like pop . caroline : [ laughs ] bo : yeah , i - i just think if i , um -- if i do leave the force , i might have a chance to ... caroline : what ? bo : i do n't know , accomplish something that 's worthwhile . and really , it 's -- it 's not gon na bother you if i leave the force ? caroline : it 's gon na be a relief to me . bo : uh , how so ? caroline : having one less son in the force means having one less son to worry about . bo : oh . caroline : but i think bo is gon na miss his little brother . bo : you mean roman ? caroline : yes , roman . he will miss you , although he likes to act tough . he 'll be sorry to see you go . but hope and ciara will be happy to see you follow your dream . rafe : listen , you made some big mistakes , but that does not mean that you should go to prison . gabi : rafe , did you not hear me ? i -- melanie nearly died because of me . rafe : did you tell andrew to kidnap her ? gabi : no . rafe : okay . did you ever hint to andrew that you wanted her to disappear ? gabi : no . rafe : did you tell andrew to hurt her ? gabi : of course not , but he did those things all on his own . rafe : well , yeah , because he was a sicko . okay ? he -- he probably would have fixated on her if he would 've seen melanie at one of your photo shoots . gabi : maybe . i do n't -- rafe : sis , listen to me . you are not responsible for most of the things that he did . okay ? now , what did you do when you found out that he 'd taken melanie ? gabi : uh , well , i asked him to let her go . rafe : uh - huh . gabi : and -- and then i went back to his house to check if he had let her go , and when i got there , he 'd taken off with melanie . rafe : so then you followed them into the tunnels . gabi : yeah , but , rafe , none of that is important , because i did n't go to the police first , all right ? i did n't tell them what -- what i knew , that he had melanie , all right ? and if i would 've told them , then maybe none of this bad stuff would 've happened . look , i messed up , okay ? and there 's no way around it . melanie : how is chad ? daniel : well , he 's , um -- he 's sorry . i asked him to give you some time to think , to breathe . is that okay ? melanie : yeah , that 's fair . daniel : okay . well , i 'll make some breakfast . so what color is the apple now ? melanie : grayish . daniel : okay , good . melanie : no , but you do n't have to -- just get out . daniel : uh , you 're not the boss of me . melanie : [ laughing ] no , no . um , i love that you want to take care of me , but i 'm just up to here with people that are concerned for me , and i just kind of want to be alone for a little bit . daniel : oh , i get it . i get it , trust me . melanie : okay . daniel : but are you sure ? melanie : uh , yes , i 'm sure . daniel : all right . you promise to check in ? melanie : i do n't have my cell phone . daniel : that 's because i do . yeah . chad asked me to , um , give this to you . melanie : are there , uh , messages on it ? daniel : uh , just a few , yeah . but if you give me your code , i can delete them and -- melanie : dad . dad . daniel : going to the gym . melanie : thank you . um , dad ? daniel : hmm ? oh . whatever you need , baby . chad : you do n't want to let me off the hook . that 's -- that 's fine . okay , i get that . i mean , i would n't either . but put yourself in my shoes , man . i mean , come on . you had her scarf . you would n't tell me where she was . nick : i did n't know . chad : l - look . okay . i get that now . but it 's not like there was n't history there . and i - i snapped . and i should 've laid off . i mean , maybe if gabi had n't jumped in the middle , i would 've . but -- but her defending you , it made it worse . nick : you 're gon na blame gabi for this ? chad : you know what ? there are some things that you do n't know about there , okay ? nick : you 're just looking for any excuse , man , are n't you ? chad : look , i 'm -- i 'm here . okay ? and i 'm trying . but you got ta meet me halfway . nick : oh , yeah ? what 's halfway between you and me ? half crazy ? chad : you 're gon na milk this , are n't you ? okay , trying to get sympathy from everybody . nick : you know what , chad ? i - i would be happy if i did n't have to tell a soul . i do n't want melanie hurt , and the fact that you 're here tells me she is . chad : do n't talk about mel -- nick : we were okay . melanie was finally okay with everything after we spoke . i 'm not your problem , chad . and i wo n't be . chad : so is that your halfway ? nick : you stay away from me . i 'll stay away from you . let 's leave it at that .

[ chuckles ] abigail : it 's just that when i got to the club , um ... things seemed kind of tense between you and chad . ben : okay , i do n't want to talk about chad . abigail : neither do i. i just ... think we kind of have to . i do n't want you to lose your job because of me , ben . chad : checking up on me . stefano : it 's a father 's prerogative , you know . and i just wanted to see how things are going in salem . chad : things here are going just about the way we thought they would . kate : announcing that you intend to seduce a woman may play well in poplar bluff , but in salem , it falls flat . clyde : oh , i 'm so sorry . i figured you 'd know i was n't talking about anything ... physical . kate : [ scoffs ] ha . what were you talking about , then ? clyde : from the day i met you , i felt like we just clicked . i think we could make a powerful team . kate : a team ? you mean working together ? clyde : mm . a powerful lady like you scares off a lot of men . kate : but not someone like you . clyde : there 's a lot i could learn from you -- that 's for sure . but i think you could learn from me too . kate : about business ? clyde : exactly . kate : because you 're so powerful . clyde : [ laughs ] well , if a man has to brag about his power , he probably does n't have very much . kate : okay . but even if we did make a team , it 's very difficult for me to imagine exactly what kind of professional relationship we could possibly have . brady : i do n't know how to lie to my dad about what happened that night . theresa : just tell him it was an accident . brady : come on , theresa , he 's not stupid . he 's gon na realize that he did n't hit himself in the head with a fireplace poker . theresa : what happened that night -- it was so horrible . i mean , i do n't remember everything that happened , but -- but you and your father had this terrible fight , and then you were -- brady : drunk and wasted . theresa : yeah . look , i know that eventually your dad 's gon na have to know everything that happened , but not now . i mean , just tell him the parts he can handle . tell him -- tell him he fell down , and he -- and he hit his head or something . maybe he 'll buy that . brady : theresa , theresa , why are you pushing this so hard ? i mean , you have nothing to worry about . theresa : brady , that 's not true . i have my own reasons for -- for hoping your father does n't remember everything about that night . clyde : well , believe it or not , i happen to have some money . kate : some ? clyde : [ laughs ] we can get into details later . kate : well , tell me , are you looking to invest ? clyde : i 'm prepared to go all - in . kate : i see . i see , but i still do n't really understand . clyde : do me a favor . just promise me you 'll think about it . abigail : when i got there , it seemed like chad was trying to make up for being such a jerk before . ben : yeah , he was trying . abigail : well , maybe -- maybe you should just , uh ... ben : just what ? get over myself ? abigail : i was going to say , maybe you should just ... try to find a way to stay there . ben : here 's the thing about chad . i just do n't trust the guy . i heard the way he was talking to you , and he 's no different than his brother . and i do n't want any part of anybody that could hurt you like that . caroline : you have feelings for aiden ? hope : i do n't know . i 'm not sure . but even if aiden had n't come along , i - i - i still would have come to this decision about bo . before aiden came in and you found out about the date ... you seemed to have understood my decision . caroline : [ sighs ] hope : i really need your support now . brady : i do n't get why you would feel guilty about any of this . theresa : are you kidding ? god , brady , when i think about that night , i just -- it makes me sick . brady : o - okay , do n't -- do n't -- do n't go there . theresa : well , too late . i already have . i mean , that fight that you had with your father , it was about me . i 'm -- i 'm the one who got you drinking and doing drugs again -- brady : hold on . no , no , stop . stop . i did plenty of drinking and drugs without any help from you , all right ? theresa : yeah , but you would n't have gone to vegas that night without my help . and -- and you would n't have gotten married , and your father would n't have come home and found out about it , and ... brady , when i think about my -- my part in this , i just ... i feel so horrible . i mean , i almost cost you your father . [ sighs ] and i hope you know how much i still care about you . ej : you know , from the first moment that i met you -- sami : you mean , when you were ej wells , the dashing race car driver ? ej : samantha , i knew that you were the one for me . sami : it must have been so complicated for you , since stefano had send you to destroy our family . ej : you 're really not trying to make this easy for me , are you ? sami : uh , nuh - uh . ej : uh - huh . let me ask you something . do you remember when we had to bond , uh , together , so we could fake out that immigration officer ? sami : yeah , that was a lie too , though , right ?

aiden : uh , he 's over there . he 's taken up with his -- with his friend . look , i am so sorry if i screwed things up with your husband 's mom . hope : yeah , well , probably not a good idea to bring up us dating in the brady pub . please do n't do that again . aiden : i just did n't think . but look , hope , tell me -- if you think this is a bad idea -- hope : no , it 's not . i -- well , i , um ... i 'll be there tomorrow . promise . aiden : really ?

chad : no , and i do n't see that happening . sorry . stefano : ahh . and katarina -- what about her ? chad : i told her everything you wanted me to tell her . stefano : that you were on her side , no ? i mean , that you wanted to help her undermine me , huh ? chad : yeah , i made it very convincing . stefano : you know , she is not a stupid woman , okay ? are you sure that she believed you ? chad : [ sighs ] oh , yeah . she bought every word . kate : well , i promise to think about it . but do n't get your hopes up . clyde : i wo n't . and whatever you decide , i 'll respect your decision , even if i do n't agree with it . at least i got to spend a wonderful evening with you . kate ? kate : clyde . clyde : are you a film buff ? kate : yes , actually , i am . clyde : i think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship . kate : rick said that to a man named louis . clyde : i know , but i did n't . ben : unfortunately , i think we need to slow down a little bit . we 're not exactly in a private place . abigail : kind of seems like it . you 're right . you 're right . you 're right . you 're right . okay . ben : i want to be with you so bad ... it 's not even funny . but i am renting this room in this place , and they do n't exactly allow guests . abigail : and since i ca n't really , uh , walk you past my mother and my brother ... ben : [ chuckles ] abigail : to take you to my bedroom , i think that we might need to come up with a plan . ben : oh , we will . believe me . abigail : [ laughs ] ej : darling , i was n't actually finished explaining the whole -- sami : you have to let me have my -- ej : okay , when i said that i wanted to spar with you , i did n't mean right here and now . so , if you just give me one second to just maybe talk -- sami : it 's my turn . ej : yes , dear . sami : you were about to rehash all the terrible things we 've done to each other , were n't you ?

[ soft music ] [ both chuckle ] hope : okay , so we both think the other is more qualified . rafe : yeah . except now , we both know that the other person wants the job , which is new information . hope : i promise you , i never considered saying yes until i heard that you were n't interested . rafe : well , same here . hope : oh , mama mia . what does this say about our relationship ? rafe : that we want what 's best for each other . hope : mm - hmm , but you know what else ? rafe : hm ? hope : that we were both so afraid of conflict , that we were willing to deny ourselves what we both really wanted . rafe : yeah . hope : yeah . rafe : i like my version better . hope : me too . rafe : yeah , i do . well ... hope : yeah ? rafe : let me just say this , okay ? hope : mm - hm ? rafe : i do n't want this job , and i do n't care about this job as much as i care about you . hope : vice versa . that goes without saying . rafe : it 's tough . hope : it is . rafe : we 've always worked together as equals . hope : always . sort of . rafe : so , now what ? hope : and it has n't always been easy . rafe : well , no , it has n't been easy . no , of course not . hope : i mean , you 're a little argumentative at -- and so am i. i mean , it 's even . but we 've always seemed to work it out , have n't we ? rafe : right , right . mostly , yeah . i think so . hope : mostly . i think so too . rafe : but you 're worried it wo n't work out this time . bonnie : look , there 's nothing wrong with me , all right ? there 's just more to this operation than money . sheila : oh , so i get it . you want the money and geriatric sex . so you , like , a necrophiliac or something ? like , what are -- bonnie : what ? sheila : [ sighs ] just look it up . so , do you even think the old man can stand at attention ? 'cause i do n't even think he can take you over the mountain . bonnie : [ shushing ] i am not sleeping with him for fun , okay ? it 's for revenge on that red - headed , black - hearted kewpie doll he married . sheila : why ? what did she ever do to you ? like , make you dust her figurine six times ? bonnie : she stole my husband . sheila : what ? bonnie : it 's a long story , all right ? we 'll get into it later . sheila : okay , i 'll wait for the movie . victor : maggie ? justin ? where the hell is everybody ? bonnie : it 's him . it 's show time . go , go , go , go , go , go , go . [ solemn music ] chad : uh , is n't that something that you should 've told us that could happen ? justin : chad , any other judge would 've signed off on this annulment , no questions asked . abigail : okay , but do you really think i 'm gon na be convicted ? how long would i even go to jail ? chad : no , no , that 's not -- that 's not gon na happen , 'cause you did n't do anything wrong . abigail : [ scoffs ] chad : no , no -- hey , listen , after everything we 've been through , we 're not gon na let this stop us , okay ? all right ? we 're gon na -- we 're gon na -- we 're gon na fix it , right ? there 's got ta be -- there 's got ta be a way that we can fix this ? justin : i have an idea , but it 's a long shot , and it 's risky . abigail : what is it ? i 'll do anything . chad : yeah , what -- what -- what is it ? sonny : i 'm sorry . paul : no , do n't be . [ chuckles ] you 're just being honest . sonny : yes , i am , okay , but when i wish that things are different , i want you to know that has nothing to do with how i feel about you . you know i love you . i just wish things were different , because will would still be here . paul : and the two of you would still be together . sonny : [ murmurs ] i mean , maybe . god , i hate this conversation . paul : well , i don't . i mean , this is -- this is important , okay ? uh , sonny , look , you lost someone that you love , someone -- someone you married , shared a daughter with . you lost them suddenly , tragically . [ sighs ] it 's , uh ... yes , i know you still have a lot of complicated feelings about that ... [ sniffles ] about him , and you 've been living a long time with those feelings . sonny : i really have , okay , but right now , i just -- i do n't know why . it just feels so unbearable . paul : because you 're about to make a commitment to me , because -- because -- because there 's a finality to that . sonny : i guess that 's -- i guess that 's why i just never expected to feel this way , like , ever . paul : well , i do n't find it to be a surprise . i mean , getting married , um , it 's a big step that you took with will , a step that i do n't think you were ever planning on taking with anyone else . sonny : you know , even after will was gone , everyone would tell me , `` sonny , will would want you to be happy . will would -- would want you to find love , `` want me to move on ... but still ... paul : still what ? sonny : i just feel like i 'm betraying him . paul : sonny , um ... do you wan na go through with this wedding ? little dakota 's nose was quivering in fear . sonny : i love you , and i wan na marry you more than anything . [ soft music ] that 's why i did n't wan na tell you . okay ? this is about me . paul : also about me . i mean , i understand . i have my own guilt about will . sonny : no , i keep telling you , you ca n't blame yourself for that . you had no idea will was my husband when you slept with him . paul : yeah , but then why do you keep blaming yourself ? sonny , i know that marrying me is n't going to change how much you loved will . sonny : i know that , in my head . paul : yeah , but in your heart , i think you share the same question that i have ... are you ever going to love me as much as you loved him ? justin : abigail , i drew up a statement for you to sign . in essence , you 'll be swearing that dario 's immigration status had nothing to do with why you married him . abigail : but that 's a lie . justin : i did n't just hear you say that . look , even if the judge is skeptical , he will most likely have to accept this statement , because it is sworn testimony , and he has no evidence to the contrary . chad : that 's the -- that 's -- that 's the big plan ? that 's what you got ? justin : you know , chad , she actually did break the law , so i 'm sort of limited to the number of defense strategies available to me . abigail : no , he 's right . look , i got us into this , and it 's not really his responsibility to get us out . but , i mean , if i lie under oath , that 's breaking the law too , is n't it ? justin : i 'm afraid you 'll be in just as much trouble if you don't .

[ sighs ] adrienne : honey , i hear you . but i - i have to ask the selfish question . where do your feelings figure into this ? sonny : they don't . and they ca n't , because paul 's body is broken . how can we also break his heart ? adrienne : but i - i ... i know that you both want to protect him . i know that . i get it . and what you 're doing is incredibly honorable and kind . honey , do n't you think , really , really , it 's a huge mistake ? will : nothing has changed between us . i promise . i 'm with you because i love you . paul : but you got your memory back before i was hurt . will : so ? paul : so that was a huge moment for you . and we -- we never got a chance to talk about it , what you were feeling ... you were thinking . will : [ sighs ] i mean , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i still do n't see what this has to do with -- with anything . paul : because you remembered being in love with sonny . then i fell out of a third - story window , and how can i not wonder if my injury had any impact on your decision ? will : because that -- that would be crazy . paul : would it ? will , just -- just be honest with me , please . i mean , is this -- is this what you really want ? or is this just pity ? will : paul -- paul : no , i need to know . before kayla gave you the news about my legs , did you still want to be with me ? bonnie : what 's the problem ? lucas : first i get my baby back , and then you get your release . bonnie : oh , no way , josé . i hand over our baby without this puppy being signed , sealed , delivered , how do i know you wo n't bail on me ? lucas : you have my word . bonnie : ha ! your word ai n't worth squat , son . lucas : neither is yours . i do n't trust you either . what happens if you sign this document and you disappear with my baby ? what happens then ? i 'm not taking that chance . justin : look , lucas is right . it would be imprudent to proceed in such a manner . lucas : yeah . bonnie : what , you think you can throw some fancy lawyer words at me and i 'll cave ? lucas : you know what ? no baby , no freedom . that 's the deal . bonnie : well , what we have here is a stalemate . how 's that for a fancy word ? jennifer : do n't even think about feeling sorry for me . this is all my fault . kayla : you were scared . jennifer : no . i was n't scared . i was a coward . if you could 've seen the look on eric 's face when i told him i have kept this from him for months ... the disappointment and the hurt ... he was so shocked , kayla . and i was being selfish because i love him , and i -- and i was afraid to lose him . kayla : you know , eric is a good guy . you just need to give him some time . jennifer : oh , really ? then -- and he 'll just completely understand why i lied to him all this time ? no . you did not see him when he left , kayla . it was bad . eric : that 's it ? no denial ? no excuses ? brady : i was angry , eric ! she sw -- nicole swore to me up and down that she did not love you . she said , `` i do n't love him . `` eric : oh , shut up ! brady : she said , `` brady , i love you . i want to be with you . `` and it was a lie . eve : you do n't have to do this , brady . brady : you know how played i was by -- by kristen and theresa . i was not -- i was not about to let one more woman make a fool out of me in this town . now the woman that had been my friend for years , one of my best friends , dumps me for my brother ! eric : what ? brady : i thought about revenge , and i went through with it , all right ? i did it ! eric : so you decided , `` either i blackmail her to get what i want , make her choose between salem , me , or go to prison for murder . `` brady : yeah . i d -- i did it . eric : you destroyed my life ! brady : i did n't mean to d -- i did n't -- i 'm sorry . eric : [ yells ] brady : eric , i 'm sorry . i did not mean -- i 'm not that guy anymore , eric . i 'm not angry anymore . 'cause i 'm in love with this woman , and nicole did me a favor because that was the heartbreak that i needed to find her . now i 'm -- i 'm happy with her , and i love her . eric : oh , that 's great . that 's great , brady . i 'm glad you 're a changed man . so you tell me this right now . if you knew this all along and you 're such a changed man , why did n't you just come and tell me ? why did n't you tell me ? sonny : knowing that i ca n't be with will is agony . but it is not a mistake . adrienne : i just do n't see how you can say that . sonny : because this is n't about me . this is n't about will . this is about paul and his happiness and his recovery . adrienne : look , i -- sonny : that is the priority . adrienne : honey , this is a very noble thing you 're doing . but if you and will love each other , then paul needs to know . you have to come clean . honey , it 's the same thing that i had to do with lucas when i came back from prison . sonny : i know , and -- and , mom , look how that turned out . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry , you know , but it -- it 's the truth . lucas was a mess when bonnie broke up with him . and then he fell into the abyss when you did it for real . i ca n't do that to paul . adrienne : so , what , will just stays with paul and pretends nothing ever happened ? honey ! sonny : yes . adrienne : look , my heart goes out to paul , but , honey , it is breaking for you and will . i mean , my god , not only does will get his memory back , his memory of his love for you . he feels it , and you two finally have a chance at the future you always wanted . now , honey , please . please , to have that all ripped away because of some cruel twist of fate , it just -- honey , it 's too hard to accept . sonny : you 're right . but it 's what we have to do ... for paul . adrienne : [ sighs ] will : of course i want to be with you . that was true before , and -- and it 's true now . paul : are you sure ? will : yes . yeah . no doubt in my mind . although i - i do think that you 're -- you 're selling us kind of short . paul : what do you mean ? will : i have so many strong memories of us too . you know that , right ? i ... i remember bonding over tokyo fab together . i remember working together to escape that mausoleum . i remember sharing the most incredible chocolate dessert on our first date . paul : by -- by `` sharing , `` you mean you ate the whole thing and i watched you . will : yes . i - i remember you encouraging me to take the job at `` the spectator `` when i had zero -- zero confidence in myself . i remember all those nights that we stayed up talking , we stayed up not talking . and i - i remember waking up in your arms in the morning and ... just feeling safer and ... more peaceful than i 've ever felt in my life . so all -- all of those memories are in my head too . but -- but how i feel about you is not a memory . it 's -- it 's here . it 's right now . and i promise i would not give that up for anything . paul : what if i have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair ? will : we 're not -- we 're not going there . we 're not . you are a strong man . you can do anything you set your mind to . this is a temporary setback , okay ? it 's temporary . it 's a setback that we will get through together . paul : [ sighs ] i love you , will horton . will : i know . paul : such an amazing heart . for you to stick with me through -- i mean , knowing everything that i 'm facing ... [ sighs ] i am so damn lucky to be with you . jennifer : eric was so angry when he left , he did n't even say where he was going . oh , my gosh , what if he went to find nicole ? kayla : you do n't really think that , do you ? jennifer : yes , he felt so blindsided and betrayed . that 's the first thing i would do . why would n't he want to find nicole and tell her the truth ? kayla : i think that eric just needed a little time to absorb all of this . jennifer : no , kayla . he 's furious . he 's furious with me and with brady . and i do n't know . i mean , once all this sinks in , i feel like he is gon na go after brady with a vengeance and brady 's not even gon na know what 's coming . brady : i did almost tell you the truth , eric , but then we -- we put aside our differences and ... eve : it 's true . eric : wait . you knew about this too ? brady : hold on . do n't -- do n't bring eve into this . eric : how could you ? brady : no , look , i told her not to say anything , especially to you and jennifer . eric , you -- you were finally happy , man . you -- you were with jennifer , and you two were great together . i did n't want to mess that up . i did n't want to screw that up for nicole either . if -- if i would 've told you the truth , it could 've come out that nicole killed deimos . and what would 've that done ? what would 've that done for holly and nicole ? eric : you are so full of it ! you kept quiet to cover your own ass . brady : no . no . that 's not true . eric : brady , i thought we moved on . i thought you and i were -- i thought we were brothers again . but this whole time , you knew about it , and you said nothing . you ruined the chance that nicole and i could have happiness . brady : eric -- eric : you said nothing . brady : eric , i 'm sorry . i am sorry . eric : nothing , and i do n't believe you . i do n't believe you ! you are a pathetic human being .

maggie : i do n't know what you mean . julie : i 'll explain . maggie : okay . julie : in our married life , i 've always arranged things for doug , and this is the last thing i want to arrange . i do n't want him to be alone . he would n't be good at it , and he would n't be happy . so when i 'm gone , i want you to take my place . maggie : i ca n't do that . julie : why not ? maggie : well , of the 15,000 reasons why not , let 's just start with the fact that i 'm married to victor , and i think the three of us are a little old for a ménage à trois . julie : oh , sex . it 's not the issue . first you have to divorce victor , and then you marry doug . maggie , you and victor , it 's never going to work out . you quarrel all the time , because you 're a fine person , a person of fine character , and victor has no character at all , and you 'd be marrying up . maggie : well , you know what , i 'm gon na put this entire conversation down for the fact that you are just out of your mind . julie ... julie , whatever happens , no one could ever take your place with doug . julie : i worry , maggie . he 's a wonderful person , but he 's not practical . my darling needs looking after , maggie . maggie : do you really think that hope is gon na let anything happen to him ? and victor and i will be right there . julie : and jennifer ? maggie : of course . julie : there 's no of course about that . eli -- eli told me what 's going on . i 'm just -- i 'm worried sick , maggie . maggie : well , do n't be , because jack and jj and eli , they 're gon na find her , and they 're not gon na give up until they do . julie : find her ? they do n't know where she is ? maggie ? maggie , what 's going on ? eli : lab says they ca n't get anything back from jennifer 's phone . jj : it was always a long shot . shah smashed it to pieces . jack : which means he 's starting to panic . we 're running out of time . i can not stay here , poring over shah 's life history anymore . eli : where are you going ? jack : i 'm gon na go rattle some cages . jennifer : henry , why did n't you tell me this before ? shah : i do n't need your pity . jennifer : no , i know you don't . it just would 've helped me to understand you , and as a result , i misjudged you , and so i hurt you , and i am so sorry for that . shah : you mean if you would 've known my mother was a manipulative drunk , you would n't have ran off with every man who crooked his finger at you , or whatever he crooked ? jennifer : i did n't know that you had such strong emotions for me . you always seemed so -- shah : boring ? insipid ? jennifer : no , you seemed strong , and you were stoic . you had to be strong to survive your childhood . you had to be and to build the life that you have built for yourself . shah : you know when my mother was nice to me ? when she was broke and out of liquor . you turn the charm on and off just like her , and now you 're tied up ... at my mercy , and now i 'm strong . now i 'm stoic . [ laughs ] my god , this is déjà vu . jennifer : what do you mean ? shah : at the end , when mommy dearest was at my mercy , helpless , she begged me not to . but it was too late for that . yeah , way too late . jennifer : henry , did you hurt your mother ? xander : nicole , let me put it this way . where we 're going is none of your business . eric : sarah , what are you doing with a guy like this ? xander : once again , none of your business . and do n't pretend you give a damn what happens to her . you dropped her like a hot potato the second this one came back from the dead . eric : sarah 's still my friend , and i do n't want to see her getting mixed up with a jerk like you . xander : watch it . sarah : hey , stop , both of you . my god , i can take care of myself , all right . look , i think it 's great that you and nicole and holly are all together again . okay , i 've told you that . i have told xander that . you deserve to be happy after everything kristen put you through . eric : kristen and him . sarah : eric . let 's go . lani : any luck on shah ? eli : no , and given how little we know about this guy , i think jennifer might be running out of time . shah : you 're a regular anna freud , are n't you ? probing my psyche for weak spots . i 'm sorry to say i am no norman bates . i did not kill my mother . she died a natural death , under my constant and devoted care . jennifer : i am so sorry . shah : [ laughs ] of course , sociopaths are very good liars , so you actually only have my word on how she shuffled off this mortal coil . jennifer : henry ? shah : hmm ? jennifer : if you untie me , i can help you . shah : you do n't give a damn about me . jennifer : that is not true . i do . shah : why would you call for help if you wanted to be with me ? jennifer : because i called for help before i realized that honestly we are exactly the same . shah : oh , this i got to hear . jennifer : i 'm serious . i mean it . when you were talking about your mother , and you were talking about how she used you and abandoned you , all i could think about was jack . because you know what , that 's what he did to me . he used me , and he abandoned me . and you know what , he 's not coming for me . look , right ? he 's not coming . i 'm still here . it 's just you and me . henry , i 'm not like your mother . and i will never leave you . and if you untie me , i will show you how i really feel about you . maggie : you played me . julie : yes . maggie : eli never talked to you about jennifer . julie : eli lied to me . but you , maggie , you 're gon na tell me the whole story . maggie : honey , honey , you have got to calm down . julie : maggie , you tell me , or i 'll crawl out of this bed on my hands and knees , and i 'll go down to that police station , and i 'll find out . maggie : okay , henry shah took her , and no one knows where . julie : oh , god ! oh , god , no ! oh , god , no ! eric : sarah 's right . she can take care of herself . it 's just , what is she doing with xander ? nicole : well , we were told , and i quote , `` it 's none of your business . `` eric : well , something was wrong . just the way she acted ... i do n't know . nicole : honey . she was upset about seeing you , us . it 's gon na take her a while to get over what happened . eric : i do n't know . it was just something about the way she was being . you know , i 'm worried . maybe i should just text her . nicole : okay , wait , wait . you left her , so she gets to play this any way she wants . you have to stop worrying about her or trying to help because it 's not fair to her . eric : you 're right . nicole : i know ; i usually am , and you 're just gon na have to get used to it . oh , but really , she was really sweet about holly . eric : that was sincere . she 's crazy about holly . nicole : i know . sarah 's really good with her too . she obviously loves kids . xander : you okay ? sarah : i 've been better . so fun running into the father of my child before i get my abortion . as if i did n't feel bad enough already . xander : are you having second thoughts about this ?

woman : commander abraham carver , who was shot by an unknown assailant earlier today , has been undergoing surgery at university hospital here in salem . the damage from the gunshot was extensive and severe , but our sources at the hospital say there 's still a possibility of survival and recovery . nicole : hmm . i 'm starting to think the only way to get away from abe is to kill him ourselves . victor : after you . nicole : now why do i doubt that ? brady : all right , i 'm going to the hospital . i want to be there for lexie and , plus , my dad would want me there . you coming ? nicole : no way . man : commander carver survived the surgery . we have moved him to icu . his wife is with him now . roman : is he conscious , doctor ? man : no , and he may not be for quite some time . hope : well , but he 's going to recover , is n't he ? man : well , the damage was extensive . i ca n't offer any guarantees t this time . sorry . celeste : [ sighs ] tony : by the way , i -- i sent cassie home to make sure that the staff prepares the guest room and the nursery for alexandra and theo , just in case the worst happens and abe does n't survive . celeste : if abraham dies , i do n't know how my daughter will go on without him . tony : yes , she will . you 'll be there for her , and so will i . kate : you do n't have to be here , do you ? lucas : i 'm here for tony . i work for him . lexie 's his sister . got to show my support . believe me , i do n't want to be here any longer than i veve to . kate : yeah , i know . it 's important to roman that i 'm here . you know , abe was -- is -- his best friend . it 's really going to tear him up if he dies . lucas : yeah , i 'll tell you what 's going to really tear him up -- whenever he finds that guy who shot abe . he 's going to tear that guy up ... or her . sami : oh , hi , glenna . glenna : sami , hey . i heard about your new job at basic black . congratulations . sami : thanks . yeah , thanks . um , listen , um , i know that the doctors wo n't commit to anything , but how is abe ? glenna : it does n't look good . i got to go . sami : well , at least cassie had the sense to leave . belle : she was only here because of her dad . shawn - d : yeah , well , rex and tony do n't seem to get it . nobody wants them here . belle : lexie does . rex and tony are her family . shawn - d : some family . everybody knows the dimeras want abe dead . mimi : is your headache any better at all ? rex : it 's worse . mimi : well , why do n't we just go home ? we do n't have to be here . rex : i 'm staying . mimi : why do n't i stay , and i 'll call you if there 's any news ? rex : i told you , i 'm not going anywhere until i know if abe 's going to survive . mimi : rex , when you say that , it sounds like you 're hoping he dies . hope : i ca n't stand this , brady . i wish there was something we could do . jack : there is . we can do what i suggested earlier . jennifer : do n't even think about it . jack : jennifer , it 's not like i 'm doing it alone this time . we leak out word that i 've got an idea who the shooter might be . then we use me as bait to lure him out . jennifer : so help me god , i will shoot you myself , jack . jack : there 's a solution . jennifer : it is not going to happen . i am not going to be the next lexie / theo . do you understand me ? we are all standing here waiting to see if abe is going to live . i will not go through that . hope : jennifer 's right . we all just have to keep praying that abe survives .

shawn - d : yeah , that sounds like a good idea . belle : let 's go . shawn - d : all right . sami : i had nothing to do with abe 's shooting . he was like an uncle to me . tony : you do n't have to try to convince me , sami . i know , like a lot of other people , what you thought of abe because he did n't want you near brandon . so it 's only obvious , is n't it , that you would seek revenge . sami : yes , okay , i was angry at abe , but give me a break . to shoot the police commander ? i mean -- tony : well , no one in their right mind 's going to believe that you tried to shoot abe , even though he tried to come between you and his son . sami : you 're right . yeah , maybe i 'm just getting all worked up over nothing . tony : yeah , you are . anyway , but you 're right about one thing . the road would be a lot smoother to brandon if abe had n't put so many roadblocks . sami : [ sighs ] lucas : i got news for you , sami . tony 's wrong . the way i see it , you 're the number one prime suspect in abe 's shooting . kate : can i get you anything ?

man : yes , sir . kate : so , um , any information about that gun ? roman : no , no . the prints were wiped clean , the serial number was filed off . we 'd gotten a tip that somebody was trying to buy an untraceable weapon . obviously , this could be it . kate : so even if the bullet matches the gun , you probably wo n't be able to find the shooter . roman : oh , no . no , we 're going to get him . i do n't care what i have to do . i am going to make sure whoever tried to kill abe is going to spend the rest of their miserable lives rotting away in statesville prison . momonitor beeping ] celeste : any change , darling ?

all these dreams that we have ? or is the truth really that there is no happily ever after ? mimi : would you just calm down ? jeez . do n't take any more aspirin , rex . rex : look , i need them . mimi : why do n't you just try and take it easy and relax , maybe ? rex : how can i relax when that damn shawn brady wo n't let up on me , huh ? `` rex attacked my parents . `` `` rex tried to kill abe . `` damn it , mimi , i 'm telling you , if i were a killer , that punk would be the next person on my hit list . bo : according to this report , the forensics team and the e.r . doctor estimate t s shot was fired at close range ... almost point - blank . john : point - blank . damn it , abraham , how could you let the attacker get so close ? bo : maybe it was someone he knew , someone who knew him extremely well -- well enough to know the precautions he was taking to protect himself . sami : what do you mea i 'm the number one suspect ? how can you even think that , lucas ? lucas : you know what ? it does n't matter what i think . it matters what the police think after they establish a motive , and motive to off abe is what you have in spades . sami : we 've been through this before . yes , i was angry at abe , but that is a far cry frfrom trying to kill the man . look , anybody who knows me would know that -- lucas : anybody who knows you knows you 'd do anything to get brandon back . look what you 've done in the past , sami . face it -- if abe dies , you 're going to be in a world of trouble . tony : bart , can you hear me ? good . there is a gun in the bar in the back of the limousine . yes , the limousine is parked in the hospital parking lot . i want you to come down , i want you to get the gun , i want you to dismantle and dispose of all the pieces , preferably in different locations . no , it ca n't wait till i come home . you do it now . such a boob . jack : jennifer , look , i care about abe , i do , but sitting here trying to chronicle mood in the trauma center is just not the kind of investigative reporting that i was cut out for , so this is what we do . you cover for me , and i 'm going to get out of here and i 'm going to go sneak over to that crime scene , okay ? jennifer : you -- you like it , do n't you ? you like dangling over a vat of bubbling , boiling acid , right , jack ? jack : hey , i like that . that 's real - life metaphor . jennifer : will you stop it ? i am not going to let you get yourself into danger , and if you try to slip away , i 'm going to tell roman , and he 's going to have you arrested for interfering in a police investigation . jack : you wouldn't . jennifer : yes , i would . jack : wouldn't . jennifer : would . jack : [ sighs ] kate : searching for the person who shot abe must be like searching for a needle in a haystack . i mean , he was a cop for so long , he must have arrested hundreds of criminals who would want to see him dead . roman : i think abe was about to make an arrest . he was threatening someone now . that 's why he was shot . kate : i see . so you 're going to be looking at suspects from his most recent cases . roman : primarily , yes , because those are the people who would most want to see abe dead . kate : well , there are others who have had issues with abe recently -- i mean , including your daughter sami . celeste : roman , roman , come quickly . abraham -- it looks like he 's waking up . roman : is he waking up , lex ? lexie : i think he 's coming back to me , roman . roman : all right . i do n't want to push it , but as soon as abe comes to , i 'm hoping he can i.d . his shooter , 'cause i want that son of a bitch behind bars by tonight . [ monitor beeping ] abe : [ grunts ] [ inhales sharply ] lexie : sweetheart . yes , sweetheart , yes , sweetheart , i 'm right here . i 'm right here , sweetheart . ook at allthe interest ... victor : you know , abe 's death is certainly no guarantee that you wo n't still be arrested for killing colin . jack deveraux is also very suspicious . nicole : jack deveraux ca n't arrest anybody . victor : well , nevertheless , we do n't know how much of his suspicions abe shared with his fellow officers . he could have written it down , he could have recorded it some way . let 's face it -- abe 's death is to our advantage , but it 's certainly no guarantee that we 're free and clear . hope : why do you think abe 's shooter knew him well enough to know he 'd be taking extra precautions to protect himself bo : because he was shot in the throat , not the body . the shooter knew he was wearing a bulletproof vest . john : that 's a fact . it was n't a professional hit , either . otherwise abe would have taken that cap right in the head . no , this was done by a nervous amateur -- otot too fast , too low . besides , abe was relaxed when he went down . hope : how do you know ? john : because when roman and i found him , his weapon was holstered and secured by the thumb latch . bo : if abe was worried or unsure about somebody , he might have already drawn his weapon or at least had the strap off . john : yeah , abe knew his attacker very well . and on a darker level , it was someone he trusted as a friend . bo : at least someone who would n't shoot him in broad daylight . i 'm going to go in the house , see what i can find . john : forensics said the door was locked , nothing looked disturbed . bo : yeah , the report said that everything took place out here , but i think whatever i find in the house will lead us straight to the shooter . jennifer : yeah , i 'm going to go call caroline really quick . jack : okay . jennifer : excuse me . brady : hi , sami . sami : brady . brady : they just told me downstairs that abe 's out of surgery . sami : yeah , we still do n't know if he 's going to make it . brady : you know where dad is ? sami : your dad is with bo and hope at the crime scene playing supercop , and my dad is in with abe and lexie . where are nicole and victor ? brady : they did n't think that they 'd be welcome here . sami : well , they probably would n't , but at the same time , it still seems like an excuse . what are they afraid of ? brady : why would they be afraid of anything ? sami : i read the papers . we all know that abe was about to figure out who murdered colin murphy , and my money is on nicole . soso maybe she whacked abe to keep him quiet . brady : sami , where the hell do you get off making groundless accusations like that ? sami : oh , do n't act like you did n't think of that yourself . that 's why you 're acting so defensive . i thought you hated nicole . what 's going on over there ? is living at the mansion watching nicole prance around half - naked gotten you hot for your step - granny ? brady : oh , you 're disgusting , sami , and you could n't be more wrong . lucas : nice . real nice move . best way to take suspicion off yourself is to pin it on somebody else , right ? sami : oh , go to hell , lucas . maybe you did it . that 's it , is n't it ? you did it , and you 're putting your guilt on me . jack : ahem . cocould n't help overhearing that . sami : hello . eavesdropping is fun entertainment in a hospital waiting area when everyone hates each other . jack : ha ha . tell me , i ca n't quite remember . why do you think nicole killed colin murphy ? sami : we both know that colin and nicole were having an affair , right ? so maybe colin was blackmailing her . look , do the math , jack . jack : yes , i agree with you completely , sami . sami : well , then why do n't you investigate her , already ? it 's a hell of a story . jack : do n't i know it . jennifer : tony , i just spoke to caroline , and theo is fine , but she is afraid that theo is going to miss his daddy tonight , though . brady : uh , hey , tony , i just wanted you to know i 'm really sorry to hear about what lexie 's going through . ty : y : oh , thank you , brady . good news that theo 's all right , though . excuse me . brady : so , uh , jennifer , i heard downstairs that abe 's out of surgery , and sami does n't think he 's going to make it . have you heard otherwise ?

lexie : i love you so much , sweetheart . abe , i need you . roman : we need you , buddy . we need you , so come on . come on , wake up . tell me who the bastard is who did this to you . abe : [ grunts ] shawn - d : come here . you are not going to lose me , okay ? because i 'm not going to lose you . we are going to be together forever . belle : i 'm rere that 's what abe and lexie believed , too . and now abe 's been shot , and he could die . and there 's a chance that they 'll never even find his killer . mimi : rex , would you seriously think about hurting shawn ? rex : every time he gets on my case . yeah , i want to punish him . but would i ? no . i would never intentionally hurt anyone . how can you even ask me that ? mimi : i 'm sorry . i just -- i just know you have a temper , and with your headaches and your violent mood swin , , i just -- i do n't know . rex : i - i do n't want to talk about it anymore . i - i do n't want to think about abe or anybody but the two of us . rex : i want to make love to you . mimi : rex , how can you even think about making love after everything that happened today ? rex : because i - i just -- i need -- i need to forget about all the pain and -- and the grief and ugliness and just concentrate on the best , most beautiful thing in my life , and that 's you , mimi . rex : i love you . i want you now . bo : i got abe 's pda and all the notes on the cases he 's been investigating . i 'll bet you anything there 's enough in here to lead us straight to whoever tried to kill him . john : yeah , let 's hope so . [ cellular phone rings ] jn : excuse me . yeah , john black . brady : hey , dad . john : hey , kid . what 's up ? brady : i 'm at the hospital . john : at the hospital ? is he gone ? brady : no , no , actually , roman told me to call you and -- and , uh ... it looks like abe is -- is actually waking up . john : great news , son . we 're on our way . abe 's waking up . bo : all right . hope : all right , let 's go . let 's go before ... jack : i want to see what 's going on in there . let 's go on in . jennifer : no , we shouldn't . too ma p people in there might not be good for abe 's condition . let 's go back and sit down . jack : all right , all right , all right , all right . tony : amazing , is n't it ? e might be pulling through . brady : tony , you sound disappointed . tony : oh , not at all . the damage was so extensive , it 's a bit of a miracle he 's still alive , let alone his regaining consciousness . jack : it sounds like you might be worried what abe might say . tony : now why in god 's name would i be worried ? i 'd be so happy if abe could tell us who tried to kill him , and then people could stop accusing me of it . and you , mr . deveraux , will owe me an apology . lexie : abe , sweetheart , can you hear me ? abe , i love you so much . celeste : abraham , darling , try to open your eyes . roman : hey . abe , buddy , you got to come back to us , all right ? partner , you got to remember what happened . i got to know who did this to you . abe : [ moaning and gurgling ] guys . that 's great go wash up . bo : i 'm detective bo brady . my wife and i just rejoined the salem police force , so abe carver is not only our boss , he 's one of our best friends . he 's a loving , caring , decent family man , and i swear to god , i will not rest until i find the son of a bitch who tried to kill him . woman : thank you , detective . we 'll be back with more as the story develops . victor : you are in trouble , my dear . and let 's not forget that bo is my son , soso do n't be asking me to kill him when he comes looking for abe 's shooter and colin 's killer . and rest assured , bo wo n't stop until he proves who did it . abe : [ breathing heavily ] lexie : take it easy , sweetheart i 'm right here . roman : yeah , buddy . yeah , buddy . okay . take care . calm down . man : i got your page . he 's regained consciousness ? lexie : yeah . man : did he try to speak ? lexie : uh , he 's moaned . i ca n't make anything out of it . man : will you all please wait outside ? i need to examine him . lexie : i 'm staying . man : very well . hope : roman ... bo : hey , roman . hope : how is he ? how 's abe ? roman : well , he 's a little better . he 's coming to . hope : oh , thank god . roman : he tried to talk , but he 's weak . john : any shape to i.d . the shooter ? roman : i do n't know , but if the doc says it 's okay , we 'll talk to him again after he 's examined . did you find anything at the house ? bo : yeah , all of abe 's case files . and his pda . he 's a very thorough cop . he kept very detailed records of all his cases , even casual conversations if he thought they were going to be important . hope : we 're going to go through everything as soon as we can and follow up on any leads we get . tony : is it possible that the attack on abe was an act of random violence ? john : no way . whoever shot abe was clearly after him . no sign of a struggle or robbery . flat - out cold - blooded attempted murder . man : excuse me . roman : officer . man : captain brady , we got the forensic comparisons on that bullet from commander carver 's neck and the gun we found outside the trauma center . roman : well , i 'll be damned . it was this day that earned the gemini nomination for best newscast . this day that earned the nomination for best anchor . and this day for best special event coverage . `` global national `` with kevin newman . watch , and judge for yourself . belle : do you really think rex shot abe ? shawn - d : absolutely . he did n't have an alibi that was n't contradicted by maggie , and i believe maggie a hell of a lot more than i believe him . belle : just remember what your dad said . keep a lid on it , 'cause if it turns out that you 're wrong ... shawn - d : yeah , i know . but if i had to bet on it , i 'd say that he 's definitely guilty . i think he tried to kill abe the same way i think he tried to kill my parents . mimi : that was incredible . almost too intense . it was just like the first time we made love after we got rid of dr . rolf 's dead body . the only other time it was like this was ... the night after the attack on bo and hope . you know ... maybe making love is your way of getting rid of all the stress after something terrible happens to the people we know . is that it , rex ? honey ? mimi : or maybe it 's your way of forgetting that you 've done something terrible . woman : here 's the latest development in the attempted murder of commander abraham carver . we 've just been told he 's regained consciousness and hopefully will be able to identify the gunman who tried to kill him . nicole : remember , victor , it does n't matter who pulled the trigger . if i go down for this , we take the fall together . roman : all right , officer , thank you . take that back to the station . man : yes , sir . bo : do we have a weapon ? roman : no . no , the bullet was too flattened to tell whether it was fired from that gun . in fact , it might not be possible to match it to any weapon , which , of course , is going to make it a hell of a lot harder to find our shooter . man : captain brady , you can go back in . abe may be able to speak to you , but please stop if he seems weak or agitated , okay ? roman : all right , thank you , doctor . all right , john , bo , hope , i need you three with me . brady : you looked a little uptight , sami . looks like that smashed bullet is going to be irrelevant , because abe is about to identify the shooter . jack : the only missing suspects are victor and nicole . roman : lexie , do you think abe can hear me ? lexie : yeah . he opened his eyes for a while , but he 's still very weak . roman : all right . all right , partner . now do me a favor here . squeeze my hand if you can hear me . all right , buddy . all right , that 's good . that 's good . now , i want you to think back to what happened right before you were shot . all right , you left the house to walk to the church . you were carrying your gun and wearing your kevlar vest . abe : what are you doing here ? roman : what happened next ? abe : yeah , i 'm very well protected . i 've got my gun , got my vest . this damn thing 's heavy . [ gunshot ] [ monitor beeping ] roman : all right , buddy . all right . calm down . calm down , partner . all right . you saw the shooter , did n't you ? abe : [ mumbling ] roman : and you knew this person , right ? abe : [ breathing heavily ] roman : all right , abe . abe , you got to tell me . who was it ? who shot you ? was it tony ? rex ? was it victor ? nicole ? lexie : abe , please . please tell us so we can make the bastard pay . abe : [ mumbling ] mimi : i will handle my situation with rex on my own in my own way . bonnie : meaning you 'll blow it . mimi : no ! john : come on , talk to us . tell us who did this to you . abe : [ groaning ] bo : we 're gon na get the bastard who did this . we are . | victor , nicole and brady listen to reports on abe 's condition . lexie is with abe and he is out of surgery , and she and john beg him to tell them who shot him . tony , rex , kate , sami , and lucas remain to act suspicious ... |

chad : i think visiting carly is a great idea . okay ? it 's time away from salem . it 's distance from everyone and everything here . melanie : i 'm surprised you 're so happy about it . chad : yeah , well , i mean , we can make up classes later . i mean , this is more important . okay ? i 'm -- i could be ready by tomorrow -- melanie : no . i 'm going to see my mom . by myself . without you . i need time . okay ? i need some space . chad : you mean , away from me ? a few hours ago we were -- we were planning our wedding . our honeymoon , our whole lives together . melanie : i know . chad : and i said i was sorry . melanie : i know you 're sorry . and i know you were just trying to protect me . chad : i do n't know what else to do . melanie : neither do i . chad : look , i - i still love you , mel . everything you felt for me , it 's just -- it 's gone , just like that ?

sami : that was before you kissed me . rafe : okay -- sami : i mean , there was a solid minute there , where i actually thought that it felt like a year ago , and everything was perfect . rafe : oh , everything was never perfect . sami : so you 're really going to stand there and tell me that you did n't feel anything ?

because you think i ca n't control my own life , i ca n't handle my own life because i need you there to tell me what i want and what i need . right , chad ? chad : melanie . listen to me . one of the reasons i fell in love with you is because you are strong and feisty , and you know what you want at all times . these last few weeks , with everything that 's happened , you 've been a mess . we 've all been a mess , and i was just trying not to make things worse than they already were . melanie : yeah , well , you made them 100 times worse ! chad : so i - i do n't understand , okay ? you -- you 're furious at me , but not at gabi ? melanie : i 'm furious at gabi ! but just because i did n't call the police on her does n't mean that i will ever forgive her . chad : what about me ? will you ever be able to forgive me ? ej : now that samantha 's sister is out of the picture , she and rafe are growing increasingly close , which is making it increasingly difficult for me to discredit him in her eyes . so we need to do something now before this bloody baby 's born . howard : and before she falls in love with him again -- ej : that 's not going to happen , nor is he going to be a father to my child . this thing has to be perfectly planned , do you understand me ? samantha can have no idea that i had a hand in this . howard : and you live happily ever after ? ej : i 'll live a lot more happily than he will . rafe : i 'm sorry , okay ? the kiss was -- look , i want to talk to you about this , i just ca n't right now , okay ? i 've got -- [ cell phone ringing ] rafe : i got ta deal with this -- sami : is something wrong ? i mean , do you need help ? do you need -- rafe : no , what i need -- i just need you to stop pushing me right now , okay ? for once in your life , can you do that ? melanie : i do n't know if i 'll be able to forgive you or see you the same way . it 's why i have to go alone , so i can figure out some things . chad : out of sight , out of mind . melanie : never . but i need to do some serious thinking about what i want to do with the rest of my life . chad : and i need to know if i 'm going to be a part of that life . so ... sonny : we should get back to work . will : no . sonny : yes -- will : come on -- no , put that away . do we have to ?

you studying hard ? will : oh , yeah , you know . always . lucas : nice , nice . what do you got ? a little economics , ooh , that 's tough . that 's really tough . sonny , you should be good at that , though , right ?

'cause i 'll tell you what , i do n't -- i do n't have the time to drive myself crazy about it or to fall off the wagon or anything like that because i 'm busy every minute of every day lately . marlena : that can be an invaluable coping mechanism , especially in the first few months . brady : i miss working with dad , though . marlena : i know . he misses you too . but he knows this is what 's best for you right now . brady : he has been so amazing . and i remember saying some not - so - wonderful things about dad to madison , and i regret it . i - i - i should n't have said those things . i blamed him , and i -- i blamed you . i bl -- i blamed everyone but me about what was going wrong in my life , and that was wrong . it was all on me . marlena : brady , brady -- brady : i just -- i need to say this to you . thank you . thank you for supporting me . you always did , and i owe you two so much . sami : i get it . i broke your trust . i threw away our marriage , and i broke your heart . rafe : yeah . you did . sami : but can you honestly say that you 're happier now than you were when we were together ? rafe : sami , i ca n't do this right now . sami : okay . rafe : i just -- sami : yes , of course . sorry . um , i 'll see you later . or not . [ cell phone ringing ] rafe : justin ? justin : hey , i just sent you a text . rafe : yeah , i was just about to reply . justin : my meeting was canceled , so i can meet with you after all . rafe : excellent . i 'm on my way . sami : yeah , maybe i do push too much . i do n't care what rafe says . it meant something . adrienne : hey . i thought you had a deposition this afternoon . justin : well , it just got canceled . adrienne : really ? call that serendipity , my yoga class was called off as well . justin : oh , well , i wish i knew that five minutes ago . i just made an appointment with rafe . adrienne : great . justin : sorry . adrienne : no , so much for serendipity , i guess . justin : there 's always tonight . adrienne : yeah , you can pencil me into your planner . justin : i think i can be trusted to remember . adrienne : really ? mmm . justin : [ chuckles ] adrienne : mmm . justin : adrienne . adrienne : no , what ? i 'm not interfering . i learned my lesson . justin : but obviously , you 're still not too happy about the fact that sonny and will are going out . adrienne : i do n't want him to break our son 's heart . what 's wrong with that ? justin : they 're kids , okay ? they 're both going to have their hearts broken plenty of times . it 's part of life . there 's nothing we can do about it . adrienne : you 're probably right . justin : what do you mean , `` probably `` ? adrienne : okay . justin : i love you . adrienne : honey , i love you . ej : chad , i 'm really sorry . chad : not as sorry as i am . ej : all right , look . let me just -- let me see if i 've got this straight . melanie expects you to sit here and twiddle your thumbs , while she gallivants around europe carefully weighing whether or not she might deign to come back to you ? chad : it -- it 's not like that , okay ? i ca n't believe gabi opened her damn mouth . i mean , if that little bitch had just done what she was told , none of this would have happened . ej : whoa , wait a second . what exactly does gabi hernandez have to do with all of this ? gabi : when i found out that andrew had melanie , i did n't tell anybody . and -- and then he said he 'd call the police , and i totally freaked out . nick : but now you want to turn yourself in ? gabi : i just ca n't live with feeling guilty like this . nick : okay , but do you think that confessing it to everybody who will listen will help ? gabi : i 'm not telling everybody who 'll listen . i 'm telling the people who matter . nick : do you feel better ? gabi : telling you ? yeah . i do . nick : good . so , you know , uh -- let rafe do his big brother thing . find a lawyer , get a good defense . just -- you got ta do everything you can to help yourself . gabi : yeah , like what ? nick : stay away from chad . stay away from melanie . gabi : yeah . definitely can do that . nick : all right , um -- i should finish bussing my tables , so mrs. brady does n't dock my pay . gabi : yeah . yeah , you better do that . melanie : [ clears throat ] lucas : you okay ? you seem annoyed . sami : since when do you care ? lucas : oh , i always care , actually . i just have to keep a safe distance from you , right ? you still have n't answered my question . sami : i 'm fine . thanks . i , uh , do n't know which of these masterpieces is supposed to be the one she wanted to -- lucas : i think allie said it was a portrait of , um -- sami : will ? lucas : that 's will . the stick figure . yeah , how the hell did you know that ? sami : oh , because he 's her favorite subject . her big brother , her hero . lucas : well , speaking of will , i saw him . he was with sonny . sami : oh . wow , okay . so they 're still friends after what happened with adrienne ? lucas : oh , from what i saw , yeah . i 'd say they 're more than friends , sure . sami : what did you see ? lucas : i saw them kissing each other . right there , in the middle of the horton town square , for everyone to see . sonny : hey , you made it . will : uh , yeah , i did . sonny : well , i 'm gon na get this done , and then i 'll , uh , meet you at the table . will : okay . sonny : all right ? will : all right , no rush , you know ? adrienne : is this seat taken ? will : oh , uh , no . no , have a seat . adrienne : thank you . um ... i understand you overheard something . something i never should have said . will : oh , yeah , i mean , in -- within earshot of me , you mean . adrienne : no . never . i was wrong . and i hope you can forgive me . gabi : i was just gon na go . melanie : i would like you to stay . gabi : okay , can i just say something first ? melanie : go ahead . gabi : melanie ... look , i know that there 's nothing worse than being betrayed by a friend . and trust me , i -- i will accept my punishment . i just want you to know that i never wanted you to get hurt , ever . and i know that that is hard to believe . but it 's the truth . ej : why did n't you go to the police when you learned what gabi had done ? chad : i know , i should 've , but mel was in such a bad place , okay ? and i did n't want her thinking that she could n't even trust one of her best friends . and then this whole thing with nick 's parole came up , and it all just seemed like it was too much . ej : the truth would 've been a lot easier coming from you , chad . chad : yeah , i - i get that , okay ? but i did n't think that gabi was going to go confessing all over the place , okay ? she and i had a deal . okay , look , i know she was a liar , but i did n't think she would risk going to jail . ej : chad ! you almost went to jail when you beat up nick ! chad : it was stupid , and -- and i was -- ej : oh , you -- you were defending the woman you love . chad : okay , well , the woman that i love thinks that i was being a dimera . ej : being a dimera ? chad , you were acting like a bloody hero . come on . has she never read othello ? chad : i do n't know . but i have , and it did n't end too well . i ca n't believe this . nick and gabi get to go on with their merry lives , while i lose the woman that i love . ej : okay , look , chad . what exactly would you like me to do about this ? chad : i want gabi to pay . and i need to think of a way to keep melanie from leaving salem . because if she does , i know i 'll lose her . can you help me ? sami : well , i am glad that will and sonny have worked things out . lucas : yeah , yeah . sami : but you do n't seem glad . lucas : you know what , sami ? i want what will wants . i really do , but i just wish he 'd be a little bit more discreet about it , you know ? sami : really ? why is that ? 'cause it 's easier to talk the talk ? to say that you 're okay with your son being gay than to actually see your son living the life of a gay man ? lucas : i 'm not gon na lie . sami : good .

[ sighs ] you still seem worried . chloe : how could i not be ? your mom says that this dr. wright will come through for her , but what if he does n't ? what if he has a flash of conscience and changes his mind ? i 'm not gon na feel good about this until i see that those test results say that you are the father of my baby . philip : chloe , listen to me . they will say that . i promise that . you and i are gon na raise this kid together . and do a damn good job of it . kate : i do n't have time for your games . there 's somewhere i have to be and i ca n't be late . clyde : well , we were in the middle of a conversation recently before we were so rudely interrupted by chad . i 'd like to finish that . kate : i 'm not interested . clyde : get interested . fast . john : so is everyone clear on how to handle things if you run into orpheus or those other two goons ? marlena : i am . paul : i got it . john : all right . honey , how 'bout you ? claire : sorry , what ? why is everybody staring at me ? john : did you hear a word we said ? claire : yes . of course . you were telling us what to do if we ever run into those creeps . john : which would be what ? claire : it 's not like i 'm in any danger . they do n't even know who i am . marlena : have you forgotten they terrorized everybody at brady 's wedding ? paul : wake up , claire . marlena : and then they kidnapped joey . claire : i know , i know . i 'm sorry . yeah , he must be totally freaked . marlena : you should be totally freaked . john : why do n't you run the drill by her once again . i 'm gon na head to the hospital , see steve and kayla . maybe i can help with the search , okay ? [ cell phone beeps ] marlena : it 's the hospital . they want me to come in and calm some nerves . john : all right , listen , i do n't want you going alone . i 'll get you some protection . whatever you do , do n't leave that one here alone . see you , kid . i love you . marlena : i love you . just be careful . john : i will . take care . steve : you need to get off your feet , baby . bet you have n't rested since i was gone . kayla : no , i did n't rest ! because all i could think about was you and joey , and so afraid they you were gon na run into orpheus out there . steve : oh , well , that would have been something since he thinks i 'm dead . kayla : well , maybe he should continue to think that you 're dead . steve : [ groans ] kayla : what 's the matter ? steve : nothing , i 'm fine . kayla : no , no , no , you 're -- you 're in pain . steve : no , i 'm fine . kayla : you know , steve , you were hit multiple times at close range , and even though you were wearing that vest , you could have internal injuries . steve : do n't worry . okay , do n't worry . i am fine . kayla : no , i am taking you to the hospital . steve : no , you 're not taking me anywhere . kayla : yes , i 'm sure the emergency power is on there , and we can get you an x - ray . steve : i do n't need x - rays . kayla : and then , you know what , we can check on dr. winters , who is covering for me and make sure -- steve : i will not let you be orpheus 's next target . and besides that , you 're in no shape to go anywhere . kayla : i am better than you think . steve : listen to me . you 're not stepping one foot outside that door . i ca n't risk losing you again . i wo n't . nicole : okay , before we even get into deimos , how are you doing ? how 's the doctor ? how 's your headache , blood pressure ? how 's the baby ? chloe : blood pressure 's fine . headaches are better . baby and i are fine . nicole : yeah . that 's what deimos said . i ca n't believe he slapped you with a paternity test . i thought you 'd be totally wrecked right now . chloe : yeah , well , i 'm not thrilled , but ... he had a court order . i did n't have a choice . nicole : honey , why did you go to your doctor 's appointment at the risk of running into those three wackos ? chloe : well , first of all , i was going stir - crazy in that house . secondly , i already had the doctor 's appointment scheduled out of town and i did n't want to cancel it . i mean , i had no idea that deimos was gon na have me followed . nicole : oh , yeah , when he told me that , i gave him a hard time about you and the baby and everything . chloe : please do n't tell me that you slipped up and said anything to him . nicole : about him being the father ? no . no way . he knows we 're close . figured i was just being an overly protective friend . chloe : well , good . of course you were . you always have been . nicole : still , i mean , you just seem ... really zen , considering . chloe : well , i 'm just ... trying to keep my stress levels down . nicole : mm - hmm . i 'd still think you 'd be a little worried , knowing that the results are coming out . chloe : honestly , i think i 'm just gon na be relieved when this whole nightmare is over and done with . nicole : oh , my god . that 's why you 're so calm . chloe : what ? nicole : you figured out a way . you figured out a way to get those results changed so it looks like philip is the father , did n't you ? chloe : [ scoffs ] like i would even know how to do that . nicole : chloe . maybe not you . you know someone else who could . chloe : no , you 're wrong . nicole : honey , we 've been through so much together . and i know when you 're holding back and you are definitely holding back right now . just tell me . chloe : okay , fine . yeah , i did it . but i had to . i had to to protect this baby . and if i had to do it again , i would . deimos : well , it looks like someone 's in a hurry . philip : well , i do n't want to keep the guy you got tailing me waiting . deimos : excuse me ? philip : and to think , i almost believed that aria you gave about family pulling together . deimos : i meant every single word , philip . philip : family does n't spy on family . deimos : unless one of them is lying to another about a baby 's paternity . then all bets are off . besides , philip , i have a right to know the truth . philip : we told you the truth . you just do n't want to believe it . deimos : but i keep going back to when i first found out that chloe was pregnant . philip : this oughta be good . deimos : she told me that she was with you before and after she and i had been together . as if she was covering her bases , like she did n't know the timing herself . philip : i think you 're reading into this . deimos : am i , really ? because when she took me in after your mother almost killed me , she and i spent a lot of time together , philip , days and nights , and we became very close . philip : i do n't really need -- deimos : she was an emotional wreck . she was lonely . she was vulnerable . philip : she was obviously upset because we had a falling out , or , believe me , she would have never been with you at all . deimos : but if i was just a rebound , and the two of you were so connected that you got back together right after she 'd been with me , then why is it , after all the time that we spent together , all that sharing that we had together , why is it that she did n't mention you once ? did n't bring up the breakup . hm ? oh , i do n't know , maybe because there was nothing to tell , do n't you think ? kate : let go of me ! clyde : still got that fire in your eyes , do n't you ? kate : clyde , you 're hurting me . clyde : oh , katey , you did n't used to be scared of me . there was a time , not so long ago , when you and i were just -- good lord . [ grunts ] sweetheart ! huh . i was gon na let you go . but now i 'm gon na have to kill you . kate : you do n't have to do that . you do n't want to do that . clyde : no ? well , maybe you 're right . i mean , here we are , all alone ... kate : no , we 're not . we 're not alone . there 's cops all over here because of you and your friends . there 's one now . help ! help ! who 's gon na kill who , huh ? [ screaming ] orpheus : clyde . kate : [ panting ] what are you waiting for ? do it . nicole : okay , well , is this plan foolproof ? can you pull it off ? do you know someone at the lab ? chloe : the details do n't matter . nicole : yes , they do matter . they matter because if someone finds out those results are switched , you could get in a lot of trouble . chloe : oh , do n't you dare judge me when you did something just as bad -- sydney ? nicole : okay , look , i 'm sorry . i 'm not judging . i 'm not , but the closer i get to deimos , the harder it is to lie to him . chloe : i thought you were taking things slow . nicole : i am , but ... i do n't know . what if it does get serious ? chloe : you still ca n't tell him . nicole : this would n't be so hard if he was n't trying to be such a stand - up man for me . that 's why he told me he had you followed . and meanwhile , i 've been lying to his face ever since i found out he 's the father of your baby . chloe : nicole , listen , i know this is hard for you , but once these test results say that philip is the father of my baby , then deimos is gon na have to accept that and just move on . nicole : yeah , one can only hope . chloe : can we please stop talking about him ? besides , i 've got to get back to brookville clinic and get those test results . nicole : okay , go . i - i 'll get the check . nicole : well , i was kinda hoping you 'd come with me . nicole : you want me to be there ? chloe : yeah , i need all the support i can get right now . nicole : okay . but you 'd better be prepared . even though deimos promised he would back off if he found out he was n't the father , he still wants that kid . chloe : well , he 's never gon na get it . never . philip : you are grasping at straws . deimos : and you 're not answering the question . philip , fine , you want the scoop on me and chloe , here it is . our history in a nutshell . we 've basically run the gamut of what two people can be to each other . first loves , best friends , friends with benefits , hell , we were even parents together when we were raising parker . deimos : [ chuckles ] that 's pretty ironic , do n't you think ? considering the fact that he was n't your biological child either . philip : no . deimos : right . philip : but this child is . deimos : i guess time will tell . philip : bottom line , what 's past is past . right now , chloe and i are truly committed to each other and to being the best possible parents we can be to our child . deimos : unless , of course , this test proves that i am the father of that child . philip : it wo n't . deimos : you seem pretty confident , philip . philip : i am . as much as you might want a child to call your own , you wo n't have claims on this one . no way in hell . kayla : do you think steve 's right ? that orpheus is gon na keep joey as a hostage so he can negotiate his escape ? john : makes sense to me . steve : not that it 's gon na work . kayla : well , what if he does n't want to escape ? what if he -- what if he 's so deranged that all he wants is revenge and he does n't care if he gets caught ? what happens to our son then ? steve : listen , calm down . we got ta stay strong . kayla : but what about joey ? i 'm sure he 's just terrified . steve : yeah . john : well , you know , what 's working in his favor is the benefit of having you two as parents . he has , um ... strong survivor skills , no doubt about that . kayla : yeah . steve has been a rock . but i just ca n't sit around here and do nothing . steve : she wants to go to the hospital and go to work while we look for joe . i told her it 's not safe . and she 's in no shape to go anywhere . john : you know what , marlena , she 's heading to the hospital to check on some patients . i 'll give her a call . i 'll see if she 'll check in with the acting chief of staff and make sure everything 's running smoothly , how 'bout that ? kayla : i 'd appreciate that . john : and steve 's right . there 's no need for you to go out there and try to risk anything . i mean , the whole town 's on alert . it 's only a matter of time before they catch these guys . steve : there you go . marlena : claire -- claire : i have , like , half a bar of power -- marlena : put that thing away , please . claire : why could n't i just stay home ? why 'd you let our bodyguard go ? marlena : you saw that old woman . she was lost . she was terrified . she needed the escort . we 're close to the hospital . we 'll be just fine , okay ? claire : oh , wait , did n't you say that the hospital runs on a generator in case of emergency ? marlena : that part you heard . claire : mm - hmm . marlena : come on . let 's go through the back . kate : clyde , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . i - i 'm sorry , i 'm am . i should never have dismissed you that way . i should never have done that because you 're right . there is fire , there is fire -- orpheus : oh , come on . you 're not buying this crap , are you ? clyde : shut up , will you ! kate : look ! i know -- i know important people . i know them , all right . so when you get out of here , i can talk to them . when you get caught -- orpheus : caught ? we 're not getting caught . would you take her out ? clyde : oh , shut up . marlena : oh , my god . orpheus : well , well , well . marlena : claire , run ! orpheus : this is my lucky night . clyde : whoa . not so fast . so you still think i should kill her ? orpheus : i do n't care what you do with her . i 've got all the women i need right here . we all need a hug in the morning ... chloe : look , i know this all sounds crazy especially since , in the beginning , i was n't even sure i wanted to have this baby . nicole : i remember . chloe : but since i decided to keep him , i 've just ... just developed this really strong bond . nicole : did you say him ? chloe : i just have this gut feeling it 's a boy . nicole , i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry you are n't able to have a baby of your own . nicole : [ chuckles softly ] chloe : and i really wish with all my heart that that would have happened for you . nicole : thank you . that really means a lot to me . and i wish i could have had one too , but ... hey . i would love to be his godmommy if you 'd let me . chloe : i would love that . nicole : i know this is all stressful for you , but ... just remember how blessed you are . chloe : i will . nicole : you protect that baby , do whatever you have to do to keep that little life inside of you safe . chloe : okay . orpheus : do n't fight it , doc . consider this a date with destiny . now who is this lovely creature ?

clyde : oh , we 're through talking , sweetheart . marlena : look , she 's got nothing to do with the vendetta you feel against my family . so just let her go and keep me . orpheus : oh , your protective instinct is impressive , marlena . like a lioness with her cub . or in this case , her grand - cub . kate : why are you doing this ? you do n't know what you 're doing . clyde : oh ... i 've thought all about it . this is the only way to end things between us , sweetheart . orpheus : you do n't think i did my homework ? all those years in prison , i studied all the inhabitants of salem ... including your granddaughter , claire . that 's a lovely name for a lovely girl . marlena : you stay away from her . orpheus : you 're in no position to bark orders , marlena . come to think of it , forcing you to watch your precious granddaughter shot and killed might be the best revenge -- marlena : no ! orpheus : clyde . let 's finish this . marlena : [ screams ] steve : well , roman said he thinks me before orpheus and his cohorts slip up . kayla : let 's just hope that joey does n't get caught in the crossfire . steve : joe 's gon na be fine . like john said , he 's a survivor . not only that , he 's smart as a whip . kayla : he 's got good instincts . steve : that 's right . he 's got good instincts . he 's smart . and he 's got a strong will , just like his mama . he 'll find his way back to us . i know he will .

marlena : john asked me to carry this at all times . it 's a panic button . all i 've got ta do is press this . he knows exactly where i am . kate : can i get a spare one of those ? john : i 'll get you one . kate : okay , uh , look . thank you so much for saving my life . i will always be grateful . john : whoa , whoa , whoa . where are you going ?

claire : mm - hmm , yes , i get it . john : yeah , weston 's with them and they 're on the run . i think they 're heading west on spruce street . now i 'm not sure , but i think orpheus might have caught a bullet here . i do n't see any blood . he might need some medical attention . they 're on foot . they ca n't get far . roman 's sending an officer here . he 's gon na take your statement and kate 's sta -- where the hell 's kate ? marlena : she was right here . john : what 's the matter with that woman ? did n't she hear me ? josh , do n't you have friends coming over ? kayla : if our son is a survivor , it 's because of you . steve : i do n't know about that . i was n't here for the important years of his life . i failed him in so many ways . kayla : whatever you did n't do for him when he was younger , you more than made up for that when you were willing to take the rap so he did n't have to go to prison . and you single - handedly pulled him out of that cult . you 're his hero . you know ... i see so much of you in him . his fearlessness , his determination . your big heart . and our son has seen and experienced more things than any kid his age should ever have to go through . steve : and he survived it . kayla : i have faith in our son . just like i have faith in you . xander : what are you gawking at ? orpheus : get me something to stop this bleeding . xander : what the hell happened ? clyde : john black shot him . orpheus : it 's just a graze , but the blood wo n't stop . clyde : ca n't believe you 're dumb enough to give him an opening . orpheus : the gun jammed , you idiot ! would n't have happened at all if you have n't been playing games with that kate woman and finished her off like i told you . ah ! what are you doing ? xander : to stop the bleeding ! clyde : he 's in pain , you dolt . orpheus : not half as much pain as the rest of our enemies are gon na be when i get done with them . i started with your old man . what do you say we finish off the johnson bloodline with you ? you inherit lots of traits from your family . kate : sorry i 'm late . `` meet me in the exam room . `` okay , well , i 'm here . where are you , dr. wright ? steve : i 'm glad to hear john got there in time . hopefully that shot he took at orpheus hit the target . all right . thanks for calling , paul . kayla : orpheus was shot ? steve : they 're hoping . he and weston cornered claire , marlena , and kate in an alley . john got there before anyone was hurt . kayla : it was only orpheus and weston ? steve : joe was n't there . neither was xander . i think he must be guarding joe . so listen , i 'm gon na head out , check a few places that i have n't gone yet . and i 'll call as soon as i know anything . kayla : are you sure you do n't want me to just ... i could cover one end of the town and you do the other -- steve : no , no , no , i 'm positive . besides , we need to ration gas right now . the pumps still are n't working . we do n't know when the power 's coming back on . kayla : all right , i 'll rest , but if i feel better , when you come back , we 'll save gas because then i can ride along with you . steve : we 'll see about that . but right now , i 'm gon na walk out the door , you 're gon na lock it behind me . you do n't open it for anyone . not even that guard outside . okay ? kayla : no one except you or joey . steve : good . kayla : i got it . steve : call me if you -- kayla : i call you , right . i got it . steve : kiss me . i love you , baby . kayla : be careful . steve : we 're all gon na be back together real soon . it 's gon na be all right . orpheus : so what do you say , little patch ? you ready to go meet your old man in the great beyond ? joey : yeah , i do n't think that 's gon na happen . orpheus : oh , you do n't think so , huh ? joey : what happens after you kill me , tough guy ? you got no leverage . i thought you were the smart one . orpheus : you smug little brat . joey : you know it 's true . orpheus : get this kid out of my sight before i shoot his eye out and leave him a half blind fool like his old man . joey : shut up about my dad . orpheus : oh , yeah . you do n't like that , do you ? that 's not such a bad idea . maybe i 'll call xander . when he 's done cleaning out that pharmacy , i 'll have him stop by the johnson house and rip that patch off the cold , dead -- [ chuckles ] wow . well , i guess you do n't like people talking bad about the dead . well , it 's not really gon na matter 'cause you 're gon na join him soon enough . john : how 's she doing ? marlena : she 's upset . orpheus : yeah , well , orpheus has that effect on people . marlena : it is n't orpheus . she 's upset because her tablet wo n't work . john : clearly , that young lady has n't grasped the severity of the situation . marlena : i think she 's beginning to . john : how 'd you get that panic button without orpheus seeing you ? marlena : i do n't know . i - i just saw him eyeing claire and i went into some sort of survival mode . john : well , you did good , doc . marlena : we did . if you had n't given me that panic button , i do n't know what would have happened to us . john : well , we 're safe now . except for kate . what the hell was so important she risked her life to get there ? chloe : this is it . the moment of truth . nicole : not exactly truth . philip : tell me again why she 's here ? nicole : because -- deimos : that 's what i 'd like to know . nicole : look , chloe is my friend , okay ? she asked me to be here and i 'm here to support her . dr. wright : well , i assume you 're all back here about the paternity test results ? deimos : yeah . yeah , that 's right . so how much longer do we have to wait ? dr. wright : you do n't . i have them right here . | chloe talked to philip about how shocked she was that kate decided to help them . nicole was n't thrilled that deimos had chloe followed . kayla panicked over joey being kidnapped . she wanted to help with the search . steve and john warned her not to do it . clyde confronted kate and she got smart with him again . kate thought she had the upperhand when she pulled out her gun . she was fooled when orpheus showed up . orpheus got lucky when marlena and claire showed up . |

[ quietly ] conventional marriage . nicole : what ? what -- what are you talking about ? i do n't think it was conventional . ej : what -- nicole : i think it was -- i think it was rare . oh , my -- these two beautiful people -- this couple that -- they managed to find what everyone out there is looking for , ej -- everyone ! i 'm sorry , everyone except you , of course . ej : oh , really ? okay , what exactly is it that everybody , except me , is looking for ... hmm ? nicole : to find someone to spend the rest of their life with . to find someone that -- that needs you as much as you need them . who understands you , who loves you no matter what . that is what i want . i am tired of settling , ej . and i -- god , i may never find it . but i would rather die than end up in some -- some man 's arms that i ca n't stand . i do n't know , maybe it 's the romantic in me . you know what , enjoy the rest of the party ej , and good luck -- good luck with your millionaire matchmaker . ej : come on , nikki , would you -- nik -- [ sighs ] abigail : you know how i know this day 's totally gotten to me ? i found myself thinking the only thing that would make today more perfect would be if dad were here . jennifer : come here . come here , sweetie . abigail : you know , i know that what he gave up -- us , basically -- that 's his loss , not ours . jennifer : that 's okay , 'cause you know what , we are gon na take all this anger and all this pain and all this hurt , and we are gon na put it behind us . do you understand me ? adrienne : you know , i 'm thinking that that 's probably gon na get pretty much easier with this handsome doctor following you around all the time . melanie : otherwise known as my dad . maggie : yeah . you two look awfully good together . melanie : you do . jennifer : well , thank you very much . oh , shh . shh . we were just talking about you . melanie : hey , yeah . mostly good things . [ laughter ] all good things . i 'm kidding . daniel : well , if you do n't mind , i was kind of hoping that i could steal jennifer away , just for a bit . jennifer : oh , another dance ? daniel : no , no , no . this is more important than a dance . abigail : oh . ooh . daniel : this way , milady . jennifer : i will walk this way with you . hope : thank you for the information . i appreciate it . thank you . bo : what 'd they say ? hope : they would n't give me a name . or tell me why all these statements were sent here . bo : they give you anything ? hope : they did . they said this was a clearinghouse account that 's been open for 20 years . bo : that 's more information than i thought we 'd get without a court order . hope : obviously , these do not belong to jennifer . bo : yeah . as long as this account 's been open -- 20 years plus -- that just leaves your grandparents . hope : i 've never , ever heard either one of them talk about this before . it 's a strange thing to keep a secret , do n't you think ? chloe : ahh , oh , wow . nicole : well ? chloe : i said good - bye to daniel . nicole : are you okay ? chloe : i will be . it 's just that salem has been my home for so long . nicole : that does n't have to change . i mean , we 're still living here . brady : yeah . chloe : i know . all the people i love . except for parker . brady : hey , remember , you 're doing this for him . remember that , okay ?

oh , i know what it is . i know what it is . it is because i love you this much . jennifer : really ? daniel : yeah . jennifer : well , that 's funny because , you know , i was her favorite , so ... daniel : really ?

hope : no . and given the dates , the only person it could belong to is gran . i know she revised her will right bef -- there was no mention of this in any of the paperwork that was drawn up . not even a letter to anyone saying it even existed . what ? brady , what are you thinking ? tell me . bo : you 're not gon na like it . hope : no , probably not , but whatever it is , i need to hear it . bo : you know i love your grandma , and i know what kind of integral person she is . but if i were to find this in any other circumstance , anyone else 's home -- an account hidden away for over 20 years ... money coming in , going out , same time every month ... there 's only one conclusion i could draw . hope : i 'm thinking the same thing . is it even possible ? is it ? could someone have been blackmailing my grandmother ? kinsey : so what do you think ? chloe : are you serious ? kinsey : yeah . i mean , i could use a fresh start too . boy , could i . and , god , i would be so helpful . i swear . you know , i could watch parker for you while you 're working at the club . chloe : i mean , hey , if you really want to , i 'm all for it . kinsey : really ? chloe : yeah . kinsey : oh , my god , thank you . i 'm going home . i have to pack . chloe : wow . this is really happening , is n't it ? nicole : bye . you are gon na be fabulous , i know it . chloe : thank you . brady : [ clears throat ] chloe : i do n't know how to say good - bye to you . brady : then do n't . just knock 'em dead for me , all right ? carrie : this has been such an amazing day . austin : and it 's not over yet . carrie : i wish we could stay longer . austin : i know . i know , me too . carrie : no matter where we are , this is the one place that always feels like home . austin : no matter where you are , that 's it too . marlena : i 've missed everybody . they were such a big part of our lives . john : i 'm glad we made the extra effort to be here . it all goes by so fast , does n't it ? marlena : i was thinking about brady . i think you 've got ta make contact with him before -- john : i know , i know . so ... do you think we should tell everyone the other reason we 're here ? marlena : no . no . they 're having such a good time . let them enjoy that as long as they can . daniel : jennifer , i am crazy about you . and i want your smile -- that smile right there -- to be the last thing i see at night , and the first thing i see every morning . i think we 're ready for this . jack : unh ! [ alarmed shouts , breaking glass ] [ gasps and whispers , laughter ] daniel : what the hell ? jennifer : oh , my god ! jack : hi , jennifer . jennifer : jack ! jack : i love you ! jennifer : you do n't love anybody -- you love yourself ! jack : if you would only -- abigail : daddy ? jack : i 'm not deserting my family . daniel : you already did . jennifer : i want you to go . you 're not gon na keep me away from my daughter . | everyone was still gathered at the town square . jack overheard jennifer talking to daniel about failing her children . chloe told brady , nicole , and kinsey that she got the job in chicago . chloe had to get lexie to discharge her from the hospital because she has to be there for the weekend . she owed everything to brady . daniel reassured jennifer that she 's a good mother . they talked about her marriage ending . jack was still listening to them . chloe walked up on daniel and jennifer . chloe said she was leaving for chicago . marlena and roman talked about their lives . roman wondered if everything was okay with her and john . she made it seem as if things were n't okay with them . john and brady had a reunion that did n't go that well . when bo and hope went to jennifer 's house , they reminisced about the past . chloe said goodbye to daniel . daniel reassured chloe that she would do great in chicago . |
lucas : i mean , i heard that sami really laid into you for trying to come between sonny and will . adrienne : god , lucas ... [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry for what i said . lucas : no , no , no , no . i get it , i do . and , to be honest with you , um ... i 'm not so sure you were wrong . adrienne : uh ... lucas : well , i know that sonny probably wo n't be back for a while , so now might be a good time for us to talk about it . adrienne : what ? `` it `` being ? lucas : i know , i know that you 've kind of been back and forth on it . you know , on whether or not sonny and will should actually get together , and , uh ... i think , you know , in your heart of hearts , you probably feel the same way i do . adrienne : you do ? lucas : yeah , yeah , i do . you know , i 'm thinking that they should not do it , you know ? adrienne : [ sighing ] no , lucas , i do n't know . lucas : wow , i guess this is gon na be a little awkward , then , is n't it ? adrienne : you do n't want your son to get involved with my son , you mean ? hm ? will : you know , i did n't think it was a hard question . how was your date with rafe ? sami : it was n't a date , as it turns out , because rafe made it clear it means absolutely nothing to him . you know , i do n't mean to involve you in this . will : no , it 's too late . you know , i 'm sorry , but just a few weeks ago , you were asking me about ej , and wanted my advice whether you should get back together with him , and now you 're dating rafe . sami : right , i get it . i 'm a train wreck . will : well , i 'm sorry to say it but ... sami : it 's true . but this one is n't my fault , okay ? rafe is the one who was leading me down the garden path , and then he totally backed up off the highway ! he broke my heart again . ej : i know exactly what your sister gabi did to melanie and my brother , so why do n't you and i discuss what we 're going to do about that ? rafe : what we 're gon na do about it ? ej : this is not some little adolescent prank . there are some very serious legal issues here . she 's not just gon na get a little slap on the wrist , you understand . she 's going to go away for a very long time . that is , of course , unless you and i can come to some sort of ... arrangement . rafe : [ scoffs ] gabi : i ca n't -- i ca n't do this , justin . i 'm scared . justin : i can see that . gabi , i ca n't help you unless you tell me exactly what happened . gabi : look , it 's just that someone , someone that knows what i did , someone that used to be my friend , turned against me when they found out what i did . brady : hey , man , i , uh , came by to check on melanie , but you -- you look like hell . what 's going on ? chad : yeah , mel and i are n't getting married . brady : you 're not ? chad : no , the wedding 's off . brady : i do n't know what to say , chad . i 'm sorry . chad : how about you congratulate yourself , brady ? it 's what you and half the town wanted , right ? daniel : mel , are you okay ? maggie : we were so worried about you . melanie : yeah , sorry . no , i did n't mean to worry you . i , um , i just had to say some good - byes . daniel : what ? melanie : um , i 'm leaving salem ... today . ej : chad was a witness to andrew 's , um , deathbed declaration . your sister was indicted by his final words , rafe , all of which , as i 'm sure you know , is admissible in a court of law . do you have anything you wish to add to that ? rafe : you seem like you have a lot to say . ej : [ laughs ] here 's the bottom line : the only thing that i need to say is `` go . `` see , when i say that to chad , he takes what he knows and he gives it to the district attorney . the district attorney will then file charges against your sister . now , i think it looks like a pretty airtight case . i mean , you would know , obviously , in -- in your line of work . all this , of course , would be rather a moot point if chad did n't say anything . i mean , your sister 's rather , um , immoral and wanton act would go unpunished . and you , of course , would be free to spend the rest of your life helping her reform . [ chuckles ] so what 's it going to be ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . [ soft orchestration ] lucas : i - i 'm sorry . i do n't get it . adrienne : what 's not to get ? lucas : i just thought you were dead set on will and sonny not getting together . adrienne : no , lucas . it was actually you who just said that i was back and forth about it , that , in my heart of hearts , i was against it . lucas : yeah , but in the beginning , you said that will was all wrong for sonny . what , are you gon na deny that right now ? adrienne : no , it was a knee - jerk reaction . i was ... worried that will was loaded down with too much baggage to be in a healthy relationship with my son . lucas : by `` baggage , `` what do you mean ? by having me as a father ? is that what you mean by `` baggage `` ? adrienne : and sami as a mother , yes . will : rafe broke your heart ? sami : he made me think that he wanted to try again , and then all of a sudden , he did n't want to try again . will : well , maybe he got cold feet after what he went through , with you being with dad and with ej . sami : okay , will , i am explaining to you that this hurt my feelings , so would you please not take rafe 's side ? will : i 'm not -- hey , i 'm not taking rafe 's side . i 'm just saying that , obviously , he 's having a hard time moving past everything . sami : clearly . i get that . will : and you , um , expected him to , obviously , get over it , right ? sami : was i totally deluding myself ? yes , i mean , i thought we had a chance at ... working things out . will : well , maybe you pushed too hard . guys do n't like that , really , so just , i do n't know , back up . see how it plays out . sami : he already made it clear how it 's playing out . it 's over . ej : now , rafe , you know that if i elect to have chad and melanie keep what they know about your sister to themselves , they will comply . rafe : get to the punch line , ej . ej : you mean the price tag for our collective silence . i think you already know what that is . rafe : [ scoffs ] is that right ? [ scratching ] melanie : i decided to take my mom up on her offer to come visit . so , she has a business conference in barcelona . that does n't sound so bad , right ? daniel : no , it sounds , uh , great . melanie : so if i take a plane tonight , i 'll be there by tomorrow morning , and her conference will be done , so then we can rent a car and drive all over spain . she 's taking time off . and i ... need a vacation . daniel : so it 's just that ? maggie : a vacation ? melanie : um ... yes and no . um ... i 've needed to get away from here for a while . i should have done it before everything got out of hand . brady : look , man , i never said you guys should break up . i just thought you should n't get married in a fever , that 's all . what happened ? chad : [ sighs ] mel got upset with me . and i made some mistakes , i - i admit that . but i 'm not the only one who made them . justin : all right , so , um ... just to be clear , chad overheard your conversation with the kidnapper just before the kidnapper died . and chad used to be your friend , but now he seems to be your mortal enemy . gabi : yeah , but ... look , i told melanie the truth , because i could n't live with it anymore . and i know what i did was wrong , and i also know that i have to -- i have to face the consequences now . justin : okay , do you know what that means ? gabi : what does what mean ? justin : gabi , you 're looking at at least three very serious charges : obstruction of justice , conspiracy , making false statements to the police . if convicted , you 're looking at ten years in prison . gabi : [ gasps ] lucas : you know what ? you can say whatever you want about me . i do n't care what you say about sami . but will -- there is nothing wrong with will . he 's a great kid . adrienne : i 'm not saying he 's not . lucas : and sonny is right there . he 's back right now . and we still have to talk . adrienne : not here . lucas : fine , let 's find someplace else , 'cause i 'm not through . adrienne : well , neither am i . will : can i ask you a question ? sami : what ? will : is it possible that maybe you blew everything out of proportion , and rafe was not sending mixed signals to you at all ? sami : will , he was totally cold , completely distracted . he looked right through me . will : okay . then did you consider the possibility that maybe you walked in on his bad mood , and it really did n't have anything to do with you ? sami : are you suggesting that i might have totally misunderstood the situation ? will : well , i 'm assuming it 's happened before . sami : once or twice . will : yeah . then i would say it definitely is a possibility . sami : well , then what do i do ? will : are you serious ? oh , i 'm sorry , were you born yesterday ? sami : you 're saying i should talk to him . will : yeah , talk to him . just talk to him . say , `` what 's up ? `` ej : it really sort of boils down to this . i will make sure that my brother does not give testimony to a grand jury , thereby keeping your sister out of prison for , ooh , the next , uh ... 20 years or so . rafe : if ? ej : if ... if you give up samantha ... to me . [ scoffs ] sami : i do remember rafe saying that he was distracted . right when i got there , he told me that it was n't a good time for him . will : you just remembered this ? sami : my relationship with rafe is complicated . will : [ chuckles ] oh , my god . sami : and , anyway , i mean , i - i went to see him , right ? so -- so this time he should come and see me if he wants to talk to me . will : oh , yeah , that 'll make it even . sami : look , i 'm supposed to be concentrating on you and -- and my work anyway . and i 'm not supposed to be having relationship dramas . will : how 's that working out for you so far ? sami : not great . the point is , i am ... dressed for work , so i 'm gon na go to work . that 's what i 'm gon na do . and if he wants to talk to me , he can come find me there . will : wow , how evolved of you . sami : will . will : you know , do n't you see you 're still playing a game with him ? if you want it to work , just tell the man the truth , okay ? find him , say , `` hey , rafe , i 'm worried that you 're waffling . i do n't like it . are we gon na do this or not ? `` sami : i like that . will : thanks . you both need to grow up though . sami : oh , really ? listen to you , mr . relationship expert all of a sudden . will : [ laughs ] no , not ... at all , but i do know how not to do things by watching you , so ... oh , anyway , got ta go . mwah ! just get out of your own way . gabi : oh , my god . no , no , no , no , no , no . i know i did really horrible things , but i never hurt anybody . i never wanted anybody to get hurt . justin : well , gabi , i 'm sorry to say , your intentions are irrelevant . you withheld important information about a crime from the police . you lied to them , outright , more than once . gabi : i know , but ... i went back into the tunnels to try to save melanie myself . i did , okay ? justin : yes , yes , you did ... gabi : i did n't want anybody to get hurt . justin : after the fact . gabi : i did n't want her to get hurt . justin : the fact that she was n't does n't change what you did . you plotted for weeks with andrew , right ? there 's probably incriminating voice mails and text messages . gabi , the evidence against you is overwhelming . gabi : melanie said that she would n't testify against me . justin : she may not have a choice if she 's subpoenaed . on top of that , she 's not the only witness they have . there 's chad , too . gabi : that would be the worst part . justin : why ? gabi : 'cause ... chad 's out to get me . chad : melanie has always been a humble person , you know ? always telling me that she 's not perfect , so why should anyone else have to be ? including me . i mean , she knows that we have our weaknesses , our character flaws , i mean , whatever you want to call them . melanie is also very forgiving . i mean , look what she ended up doing for nick . i mean , what i did to him -- i mean , my god , it 's not like i 'm a -- i 'm a criminal . brady : is this really about degrees of misbehavior , chad ? chad : look , all i 'm saying is that she 's just raw from everything , and -- no one was into the idea of us getting married in the first place , so i mean , maybe she was influenced by that , you know , by -- by maggie , by -- by her dad . i mean , things can change . brady : yeah , yeah , they usually do . chad : i love her , brady . melanie will realize that 's all that matters . melanie : kind of figured you guys would put up a little bit more of a fight . [ laughter ] maggie : well , it was sudden . [ laughs ] but , in some ways , it -- it might be a good thing for you to get away , melanie . daniel : yeah . i think so . and i 'm gon na miss you , more than you know , okay ? but it 's not gon na be forever , okay ? you 'll be back . melanie : yeah . of course i will . adrienne : okay , what ? lucas : well , i just need you to stop taking this as such a personal attack on your son . adrienne : oh , that you do n't want your son dating my son . lucas : sonny is more experienced than will . adrienne : at what ? being gay ? lucas : no , he 's just -- will is vulnerable right now , and sonny is ... sonny . he 's moving fast . adrienne : how ? lucas : well , i 've seen them together . i 've seen them twice now -- adrienne : uh - huh . lucas : and both times , they -- they were just moving fast , okay ? adrienne : lucas , please stop talking in code . lucas : they were kissing . all right , they were kissing each other . adrienne : kissing ? lucas : yeah . adrienne : and kissing is , um , in your lexicon , is rushing things ? like a gateway drug ? lucas : sarcasm , really ? you think this is funny ? i 'm sorry , i 'm not amused -- adrienne : no , i do n't think it 's funny . actually , i don't . but i 'm really trying to get to what this is , what we 're talking about . lucas , i - i think you 're uncomfortable with the fact that your son was kissing another guy . and if he was kissing another guy , it means he 's attracted to another guy . and you 're pretending that you 're okay with it , but ... you 're really not . i think you 're totally uncomfortable with your son being gay . ej : rafe , please . look , you love your sister . i think we can both agree , it 's fairly obvious you still love samantha . you have to choose between them . who matters most to you ? just doing my job . rafe : you know damn well i 'm not gon na put a value on my sister ... or sami ... for anyone , especially you . ej : well , you leave me with no choice . [ frantic knocking at door ] gabi : rafe ! rafe ! i need to talk to you right now ! are you in there ? rafe ? i really need to talk to you right now , please . oh , my god , um -- rafe : you okay ? gabi : yeah . i 'm sorry , i did n't know that you were busy , um ... rafe : oh -- ej : no , no , it 's absolutely fine , gabi . you know , your brother and i , we just had a tiny bit of police business that we had to take care of , but , um ... we 're finished now . he 's given me his answer . sami : um , annette , listen , you have n't put any calls through since , uh , i 've been here . well , i 'm just wondering , you know , if anyone else calls , any business , or especially if rafe hernandez calls , you just put him through , no matter what . it 's about business , okay ? just put him through . [ slams phone ] [ sighs ] [ taps keyboard ] rafe : no , no , no , no , no . i was talking to ej about something else , not about the business with chad , all right ? now , listen , tell me exactly what justin said . gabi : rafe , look . he was scaring me to death , okay ? he was talking about charges , and things i do n't even know about . he says i can go to prison for a really long time . rafe : all right , but would you listen ? that 's the lawyer 's job . they give you the worst - case scenario , okay ? it 's not usually as bad as they say . gabi : i do n't know , rafe . i mean , it sounded really , really bad , okay ? rafe : okay . gabi : and the person that can make me go to prison already hates me . rafe : chad . gabi : what if he testifies against me ? what -- what am i supposed to do ? rafe : hey , hey . do n't worry about this , okay ? listen to me . i 'm gon na take care of it . all right ? chad : you look pleased with yourself . ej : to have everything under control is always a good feeling . melanie : okay . daniel : okay , wow . that 's it ? all in there ? melanie : yeah , well , no , there 's another bag . daniel : is there ? melanie : yeah . [ laughs ] daniel : mel , i - i just -- baby , i -- [ knocking at door ] [ sighs ] brady : hey , dan , is -- so it 's true , yeah . melanie : who told you ? brady : chad told me . melanie : right . daniel : i 'll tell you what , um ... i 'll go get one of those soy nonsense latte things for you to ... melanie : sure . daniel : slurp on your way to the airport . melanie : [ laughs ] wonderful . thank you . [ door closes ] you look mad . brady : if i had n't talked to chad , i mean , were you just gon na leave town without telling me ? were you just gon na -- what , are you gon na send me a postcard or something , i mean ... i do n't even know if they have postcards . melanie : [ laughs ] brady : could you have even found a postcard ? melanie : i am -- i 'm sure i could have . um ... i have to do this for myself . brady : yeah , that -- i mean , that much i get . i understand . melanie : that 's not enough ? brady : i did n't say that . melanie : [ sighs ] this is very hard for me , because i have to leave all the people i love , you included . so can you do that thing where you put your arm over me and you tell me that everything is gon na be okay ? brady : come here , come here . lucas : you know what ? do n't do that . do n't pigeonhole me into being some old- fashioned dad who does n't know what 's going on these days . all right , i 'm perfectly clear that my son is gay . i am . but just seeing him make out in public with another guy ? i do n't know , maybe you and justin are used to that , but i 'm not , so it 's gon na take me some time . adrienne : what , to get used to it ? well how about this ? it 's not yours to get used to . how about your son is still the same sweet kid he always was ? lucas : how do you know i would n't be just as nervous if he was in a serious relationship with a girl right now ? adrienne : [ scoffs ] lucas : at his age . adrienne : lucas , lucas , really , you 're gon na stand here and pretend that your mini - meltdown at seeing will and sonny kiss was n't about the fact that they 're two guys ? lucas : well , no , not necessarily . adrienne : oh , come on . lucas : i just do n't think they should , is all , all right ? adrienne : should what ? be happy ? in love ? what should n't they be , lucas ? lucas : i do n't know , okay ? i do n't know . adrienne : good . you know what ? good . that 's the first honest answer i 've heard from you . and now it 's my turn . i was wrong to let my feelings about you and sami influence my feelings about will , okay ? will may very well be the perfect boyfriend for sonny . he 's a great kid . he is kind , he 's smart . lucas , you should be proud . lucas : i am proud of my son , okay ? adrienne : i know you are . i do . you know , sonny and will ... really might fall for each other . and the way this country is changing , who knows ? we might be in - laws , you and i. mm . put that in your pipe and smoke it , baby .

rafe : hey , any sign of dimera ? not since we got here , detective . rafe : which was when ? few minutes ago . rafe : yeah , but chad was just spotted here a little while ago . oh , damn it . damn it ! i know that this is where the dimeras always escape . i should 've had someone here . oh , god . that 's got ta be abigail devereaux 's . you see that ? pictures of her mother and her brother . now the question is , when was she here , and who was she with ? chad : [ sighs ] abby . [ sighs ] abigail : i assume you had a chance to check the place out ? chad : well , there 's not much to check out . it 's just a fishing shack . your dad seriously lived here ? abigail : yeah , uh , he needed a place to hide . it fit the bill . actually , it belongs to victor kiriakis . chad : seriously ? abigail : yeah , his family used to come here , like , decades ago . no one comes here anymore . you know , obviously . chad : hey , um ... have i said `` thank you `` ? thank you . it means a lot to me that you care this much about me to take these kind of risks . abigail : um , i got you some stuff . i got you , um ... i got you some bread and , uh , beef jerky and water , um , and the rest are all canned goods . and , um , got you a can opener just in case . chad : i 'll survive . abigail : listen , i want you to try to stay inside as much as possible , okay ? um , and there 's jackets in case you get cold . um , but check the pockets first 'cause there 's always , like , hooks and lures in there . so you should just be careful . chad : i will . i will . thank you . my biggest problem is gon na be sneaking into salem . abigail : chad , you ca n't do that . you ca n't ... chad : yeah , i have to prove i did n't murder those women , abby . abigail : i know , but you need an alibi , okay ? but let me do that . i 'm gon na check on that for you -- chad : hey , you and ben are leaving tomorrow . for good . remember ? [ ben gasps ] [ serena grunting ] [ whimpers ] [ ben breathing heavily ] roman : jenn , i do n't care . this is not how it 's done . jennifer : okay , well , i 'm sorry . jj is extremely upset right now . roman : about paige . i get that . no doubt about that . that 's got ta be very painful for jj , but he 's supposed to check in with me or agent watts at least once a day . it 's been over 48 hours , jenn . jennifer : i know that you do n't want to hear this , but jj is in a terrible place because ... roman : jenn ? jennifer : because there is someone out there who could hurt him . someone who just killed a girl that he loved very much , roman . roman : jennifer , listen to me . these two cases are totally different , all right ? paige 's murder had nothing to do with whoever 's shipping drugs into salem . we 're positive now . chad dimera murdered paige . jennifer : okay , then why did you set him free ? roman : because we did n't have enough to hold him at first . and since his latest attack , he 's on the run . jennifer : what ? what latest attack ? who did he kill ? roman : nobody . no one , okay ? now , he did try to strangle a woman at the hospital . i ca n't give you details , but thank god she survived . jennifer : roman ... roman : point is , dimera is missing . jennifer : gosh , this is so ... [ sighs ] roman : crazy , crazy . i know that . and that is all the more reason that jj needs to follow the rules and report in . jennifer : no , jj needs to get out of salem and stay there . roman : jennifer , look at me . is there something you 're not telling me ? aiden : i need to tell you something , but it 's just , uh , i 'm so ashamed . hope : i can see that . aiden , come on , it ca n't be that bad . aiden : no , hope , it is . it 's , uh ... hope : aiden , tell me . aiden : i 'm drowning in debt , and , um ... you know , the amount is so overwhelming that i , um ... after meredith died , i made some risky investments , and they were riskier than i thought . and at first , everything , you know , it was so good . then everything went so bad so quickly , and i started borrowing and borrowing and ... hope : how bad is it ? aiden : i made a bad situation worse , because i went to some lenders who were n't exactly on the up and up . i 'm in so deep that i , um ... i may not survive . [ metallic clanking ] [ suspenseful music ] steve : looks like they turned this old monastery into a prison . where are you , buddy ? right there . there you go , pal . brand - new home . when the boss gets done with this guy , he 's gon na wish he died a long time ago . [ electricity crackles ] [ dramatic music ] [ ben breathing heavily ] paige : [ whimpering ] help ! [ screaming ] no , no ! [ continues screaming ] ben : i did n't mean to . i could n't have . no . it was chad . abigail : chad , i 'm gon na check on things for you the minute i get back to salem , and then i 'm gon na do it again in the morning so that i have time . and you know what ? ben is probably not gon na even want to leave until the afternoon . so that 's gon na give me plenty of chances to figure things -- chad : abby , stop , stop , stop ! stop , stop ! bringing me out here was amazing . thank you . but you 're done . i ca n't have you involved anymore . abigail : well , i am involved , whether you like it or not . chad : abby , please , i am begging you . protect yourself . let me figure out how to deal with this . abigail : [ scoffs ] ugh , chad ! what do you -- what do you think you 're gon na do ? i mean , really , what 's gon na happen ? you think that you 're just gon na sneak into salem and just pretend like nobody recognizes you ? i mean -- chad : relax . i 'm not gon na do anything stupid . you really should get going . ben 's probably waiting for you . you can go anywhere in the world that you want . be happy . that is all i 've ever wanted for you . abigail : thank you . [ soft music ] chad : hey . so this is our last good - bye . abigail : yeah , i guess , uh ... chad : i need you to know that i ... no matter what happens , i 'll always remember what you did for me . have a good life , okay ? abigail : okay . hope : you have been through so much . you kept what happened to meredith a secret for years , and look what it cost you . aiden : yes , but you changed all that . hope : no , i did n't . you did that . you changed that , aiden , when you finally opened up to me and told me that you had n't caused meredith 's death , that it was chase , and that all you wanted to do was to protect your little boy . do you know what that meant to me ? it showed me that you trusted me . aiden : baby , and i am so grateful to you . hope : no , i do n't want your gratitude . aiden , do you hear me ? i want your trust . i 've stood by you from the second i fell in love with you , and i have never ... i have never , ever regretted it . and here we are , i mean , i find out now that you 've been in debt all of this time ? seriously ? it makes me feel like what else are n't you telling me ? are you being honest with me ? aiden : look , i was arrogant , okay ? i lied to myself . i know that . i thought i could make back everything i lost in one quick move . all i had to do was just take one big chance -- hope : and all that time , you were lying to me . you -- leading me to believe that everything was fine . aiden : listen to me , i felt that i needed to because after everything we built , i did n't want you to see me as some sort of failure , someone that you could n't see yourself having a future with . look , i ... there 's no way to justify it . um ... so this is it , i know . i 'm sure you 're not gon na want me in your life anymore . so you know what i 'm gon na do ? i will -- hope : wait , what ? what ? wait , wait , wait ! aiden ... who said anything about not wanting you in my life ? i do not . i love you . aiden : baby ... listen to me . i do , i love you too . i 'm sure you want those details now , you know ... hope : no , not right now . aiden : i want to try to explain because -- hope : no , no . we 'll get to that later . it 's not hard to see the kind of pressure that you 're under . oh , my gosh , your hands are trembling . so let 's get to it , huh ? how much ? aiden : $ 100,000 . hope : even ? aiden : what ? hope : $ 100,000 even ? not $ 102,000 or $ 106,000 ? $ 150,000 ? aiden : oh , no , no , no . um ... i -- you know , i can cover the rest , uh , of course . hope : who 's the shark ? aiden : look , this is a guy that you ca n't intimidate . hope , i 'm gon na be honest with you . he 's made some remarks that i 'm not the only one at risk here . hope : chase ? aiden : yes . this guy is watching us in the square . he sees chase and makes some stupid remark about what a fine little boy my son is . hope : oh , my god . okay . all right , one step at a time . let me make a call . jennifer : you really want to get into this with me ? seriously , roman ? about how my son got involved in this ? how you got him into it even when i tried to tell him no ? roman : jenn , the only reason i am here is to make damn sure jj 's all right . i ca n't know that until he checks in . jennifer : no , well , he is never going to be all right . nothing is ever going to be all right ever again . what ? roman : i was right the first time , was n't i ? there 's something you 're not telling me here . okay , what 's really got you so scared ? jenn , you can trust me . you know damn well you can trust me , so come on . talk to me . jj : what the hell 's going on ? abigail : hey , you . hey . hey , what 's wrong ? ben : i thought ... abigail : what ? ben : i thought you were n't coming back . abigail : what ? hey , of course i -- of course i was . why would you think that ? ben : i am so sorry for what i said . when i saw you with chad at the hospital ... it 's like i just -- i lose all control sometimes . abigail : we talked . remember ? we 're fine . i 'm leaving salem with you tomorrow . ben : i know how hard that would be for you to leave your home and your family . abigail : well , my family 's gon na be with you soon . and nothing is more important to me than this baby and my baby 's father . ben : where were you just now ? abigail : i was at my mom 's , remember ? i was saying bye . jj : why did you come to the house ? roman : well , maybe i would n't have to if you 'd check in like you 're supposed to . jj : so you just come barging in ? to hell with my cover ! roman : all right , wait a minute . hold on here . what the hell is going on ? both of you act like you 're gon na jump out of your skin . now , did something happen ? are you trying to cover something up ? jj : you came here for a report , right ? well , here it is . kyle 's missing , and i have no idea where he is . that was my contact . that was my only contact . so guess what . i am useless to you , to the dea , to anybody . roman : not necessarily , no . did you ever find out who kyle reports to ? jj : no , so there 's nothing more that i can help you with . i want out of the entire operation . hope : call when you know . thanks . now we wait . aiden : i feel awful . awful taking money from you . i ... hope : hey , we love each other . we 're getting married . and in marriage , there is no room for secrets . ever . please , you have to trust me . aiden : yeah . sorry . [ sighs ] hope : okay . then we 're good . steve : not outside . nothing . whole damn place . if you were here , bo , where the hell are you now ? [ suspenseful music ] what 's this ? bo : [ panting ] [ grunts ] [ groaning ] roman : something 's going on here . jennifer : oh , roman , for goodness ' sake , really . roman : do n't tell me it 's not ! jj : what 's going on is simple . i 'm out . roman : okay . okay . if you ca n't make contact , you ca n't make contact . i will call agent watts , tell him he has to go along with this . you 're done . just keep your head down . if kyle contacts you , you call me immediately . jj : will do . roman : okay , like i said , keep your head down . take care . okay . jj : okay , what happened when i was gone ? did you say anything to him ? jennifer : no , i did n't . i wanted to . [ door shuts ] jennifer : but i knew you had to be the one to decide that . jj : good . jennifer : but listen , if you go to roman quietly , just tell him what is going on with clyde weston , honey . jj : mom , it is too dangerous . that man looked me dead in the eyes . he even smiled when he said it . paige , you , me -- he marked us all . the guy is not right in the head . you can even see it when he talks to you sometimes -- jennifer : oh , honey , i know that . i can sense that myself . he stopped by here the other day out of the blue supposedly wanting to talk about the wedding , and the whole conversation was so strange . and now he manages to run into me every time i 'm in town , acting like we 're supposed to be best friends ? jj : oh , my god . jennifer : what ? jj : i just realized that he -- he 's so paranoid ... mom , he must have planted a bug in here or something . jennifer : jj ... hope : will it be liquid when the bank opens tomorrow ? great . thank you . you 're a lifesaver . aiden : hey . hope : hey , okay , um , we are good to go . you need to get this to whomever it is you need to get it to . tell him it 'll cash out first thing in the morning . as far as , um , giving me any more details on how this happened , let 's skip it . just until you get this sorted out . okay ? ben : i 've decided we 're not gon na leave salem . abigail : you said -- ben : no , i 've been doing a lot of thinking , abigail . it 's just not fair for me to drag you away from your whole family . my dad 's here too , so it 'd be like walking away from mine . i want our baby to grow up with family around . let 's stay . abigail : my god , ben . ben , thank you so much . oh , god , you have no idea how much this means to me . ben : well , you ought to know by now that i would do anything for you . abigail : i know . ben : i mean it , abigail . anything .

claire : okay . whoa . way over the top , and this right here is my life . paul : that tablet is your life , but i 'm over the top ? claire : okay , look , paul . my online channel is building hits and people come here every day to see if i 've posted something . so i have to be there for them or they 'll just move on . you know , salem might be shut down but the rest of the world is definitely still spinning . later . paul : mmm . claire : okay , really ?

[ sighs ] the information i have is about austin . [ grunts ] [ scene_break ] austin : all right , you need to just take a deep breath . take a deep breath . are you sure the valet did not know that you were the bride he was talking about ? sami : austin , it does n't matter that he did n't know . how many times has he told that story already ? this whole town feels that same way about me , do n't they ? he just made me feel like garbage . austin : he did , or you just do ? [ scene_break ] mimi : thank you for suggesting this . shawn d. : what are you talking about ? i 'm the one that should be thanking you . this has been a hell of a day , and there 's no way i could have gotten through it without you . maggie : love may have ended for one member of our family today , but it 's just the beginning for another . mickey : what do you mean ? shawn d. : cheers . mimi : cheers . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sami : austin , how could you defend the valet ? you do n't even know him , and i 'm your ex ... lots of things . austin : you totally missed the point . sami : well , explain to me your point , because right now , i 'm wondering if maybe it 's not a good idea for me to be eating with you after all . austin : why do you care what the valet or anyone else says ? sami : he totally slammed me . austin : so what ? the only one that can make you feel bad about yourself and what you 've done is you . only children worry about being called names . sami : sticks and stones . austin : sticks and stones . exactly . sami ... when are you gon na grow up and stop being your own worst enemy ? [ scene_break ] hope : i could stay in this bed with you forever . listening to your heartbeat , feeling the waves . i know the boat 's tied off to the dock , but ... it 's like we 're by ourselves in the middle of nowhere . [ chuckles ] like this , i wo n't get dinner made , and i 'm guessing that we both worked up quite an appetite . hey . where are you ? bo : i 'm just ... thinking about what sami did . shawn could have died because of her . i 'm not excusing him going off on that crazy rescue mission with the boys , but , man .. hope : bo , it 's history . the important thing is , is that shawn did come home safe , and so did the others . bo : sami 's done some stupid things in her life , but ... what was she thinking ? hope : she was n't , which is always her problem . bo : yeah . hope : only this time if she somehow manages to avoid jail , i do n't think anyone will ever forgive her again . or trust her , especially roman and lucas . bo : yeah , this is the last thing roman needed . going through that split - up with kate , and whatever the heck is going on with marlena , that 's the last straw . hope : you know , i feel even worse for will . he 's just a kid . and here he is once again having to deal with one of his mother 's messes . bo : speaking of kids and messes , how do you think shawn 's dealing with this belle / philip having - a - baby thing ? hope : not well , bo . bo : i tried to call him when he left the church , but all i got was his voice mail . hope he does n't do something stupid . hope : no , i think he 's finally learned his lesson . bo : mm - hmm . and what about you ? hope : me ? what do you mean ? bo : well , you still think shawn and belle belong together , right ? hope : yes , i do . bo : well , pushing him into pursuing her could only end up bad for everyone , especially shawn . hope : you 're right . bo : uh - huh . hope : i know how much shawn wants to be with belle , how much he belongs with her , but belle and philip have a baby now , and they need to stick together for their daughter 's sake . they have to . bo : you know , this baby 's been coming along for quite some time now . why the sudden change of mind ? hope : well ... it was during sami and lucas ' wedding , before all hell broke loose , that is , i saw philip and belle looking at each other , bo . they really do love each other . it 's so obvious -- both of them . of course , i do n't know if belle loves philip the same way she loves shawn . but she does love him . bo : mm - hmm . hope : and in time with the baby , i -- they 're just gon na keep growing closer and closer . bo : yep . nothing could do that like a child . hope : yeah . you 're right about that . [ scene_break ] chelsea : look , billie , you , me , and bo are never gon na be a family , okay , so let 's just drop it . billie : hey , i 'm not trying to replace the parents who raised you , chelsea , but they 're gone , and bo and i -- we care about you . we love you . we created you and ... you know , i 'm not trying to make you forget the benson 's . i 'm just trying to cook you a hot meal . chelsea : even though you do n't know how . billie : even though i do n't know how . i 'm trying . chelsea : and that 's the problem , billie . you 're always trying too hard to do things for me . to cook me dinner , to make me love you , to make us a family . it 's driving me crazy . billie : well , you do n't seem to have too much of a problem with it when my mother is buying you expensive dresses . chelsea : that 's because i 've never had a grandmother before . i had a mom and dad . and i love them . i do n't want new ones . i want them back . they 're the ones that taught me how to ride a bicycle , who took care of me when i had the chicken pox , who made my favorite cake on my birthday . and it 's not fair that some drunk driver just comes and takes them away from me . billie : no , it 's not . chelsea : and it 's not fair that you and bo brady come around and tell me that they were n't really my parents after all . billie : no , we did n't say that . we never said they were n't your parents . they were . chelsea : just not my birth parents . billie : as hard as that is for you to accept , they were n't . chelsea : if they were still alive , would you still be trying to take me away from them ? billie : no . no , i would hope that we could find some way to share you . chelsea : what ? like some hot - fudge sundae ? billie : no , chelsea , please . i know that i can not replace your mother ... but she 's gone . and i 'm here . is n't something better than nothing ? chelsea : no . it 's not . i hate this , billie . billie : look , okay , i know this is awkward for you . i know it is . it 's awkward for me , too , but i think it 's worth it ... because i ... i think you are worth it . chelsea : maybe you 're not . billie : okay . okay , um ... well , then , if you do n't want me to be your mother , then how about we aim for being friends ? chelsea : i already have friends . [ stamps foot ] [ scene_break ] nicole : well ? did you reach austin ? kate : what the hell are you still doing here ? nicole : let me guess -- he was n't picking up . kate : that 's none of your business and get your feet off my sofa . nicole : hey , i thought you were changing . kate : i 'm not going anywhere , nicole . what is this about ? ah ! i got it . you want money . okay , you can have money . you can have money -- nicole : kate , kate ! i do n't want your money . kate : really ? then what is this all about ? nicole : sami . [ scene_break ] sami : austin , if this is your idea of a pep talk , you should definitely avoid a career in motivational speaking . austin : all i 'm saying is you do n't have to respond to everything that happens by lashing out , turning yourself into a victim . you can empower yourself . sami : you heard what that valet said , austin . i 'm a menace to society . austin : he 's never even met you . you are a beautiful , loving , caring , young woman . your life 's not over . you can still turn things around . sami : i tried that , and i still lost lucas . austin : you 're going to find another love . sami : i do n't ... austin : if you are serious about changing , i bet you next time , it 's for keeps . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : mmm . this is so much better than those microwave meals i make for dinner every night . mimi : [ chuckles ] on my budget , i can barely afford those . and then i have to be tortured by the cooking smells coming from belle and philip 's . my mom 's pretty good about giving me free meals at alice 's , though , but who knows when i 'm gon na be able to eat in a restaurant like this again . earth to shawn . shawn d. : sorry . i , uh , i just got distracted . mimi : about the food ? shawn d. : um ... about belle . you know , if you would have told me a year ago that she would have been giving birth to another man 's child , i -- i mean , i know it 's over . i 've known it 's over , but seeing her with her child just makes it real in a whole new way . mimi : we all really are adults now , are n't we ? shawn d. : yeah , yeah , we are . mimi : and it 's time to stop drifting and dreaming and live our lives . [ scene_break ] mickey : hello , there . maggie : hello . mickey : i just asked pierre to make a special chocolate mousse cake for shawn and mimi . maggie : oh , that 's so thoughtful . and what a romantic surprise . mickey : and i also asked him to make one for us for later because i 've heard that chocolate can be a real aphrodisiac . maggie : yeah . i do n't know about you , but i do n't need any chocolate . mickey : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sami : oh , god . rub it in , why do n't you ?

[ scene_break ] billie : ugh ! chelsea 's right . these are horrible . whoa . are -- are you going out ? chelsea : i 'm not staying in and watching tv with you all night . and not that it 's any of your business , but i figure i 'd hook up with abby and maybe go to a club or something . billie : is that another new outfit ? chelsea : yeah . one of grandma kate 's favorite new young designers . you like it ? billie : well , since you asked , no . not at all . it 's a little too `` sex in the city `` for salem . chelsea : well , first of all , `` sex in the city `` is so yesterday . and secondly , why do n't you just tell me i look like a whore like sami did this afternoon ? billie : all right , you ca n't pay any attention to what sami says . she 's vicious . chelsea : how can i forget about it , billie ? or what she said after that ? billie : what did she say ? chelsea : that i was obviously following my family 's tradition because both you and grandma kate were whores . can you believe that bitch ? my dress cost more than her whole damn wedding . and i may not want you as a mom , but not only are you i.s.a . , i mean , you created countess wilhelmina cosmetics . and grandma kate runs one of the biggest fashion conglomerates in north america . why would she make it sound like you guys are just a couple of prostitutes ? what ? what 's wrong ? do n't tell me that sami was telling the truth . [ scene_break ] kate : w -- what do you mean something about sami ? what 's going on with her ? nicole : you 're just gon na have to see for yourself . kate : okay , and if i go to dinner , i 'll see ? nicole : yes , look , let 's go . come on . kate : no , i 'm not going anywhere . look , i 'm waiting for austin . nicole : he 's got your cellphone number . kate : what if he comes by ? nicole : i guarantee you wo n't miss austin . kate : how do you know that , nicole ? nicole : because he would n't fly here all the way from new york and then leave without seeing his mother , right ? yes , so go change , woman . time 's a - wastin ' .

[ scene_break ] bo : of course billie and chelsea are a lot alike , and things can get a little volatile . but most mothers and daughters are alike . that does n't mean they ca n't find common ground . hope : but this is n't normal mother / daughter friction . chelsea hates billie , and she makes it clear every chance she gets . bo : maybe they need a referee . hope , i have an obligation . hope : the only obligation you have , think about it , is to your daughter . brady , if you put yourself in the middle and chelsea thinks that you 're siding with billie against her , you could lose your daughter forever . is that a chance you 're willing to take ? listen -- oh , gosh , i better get to the bakery before it closes . just think about what 's really important , okay ? and do n't eat that sauce . i love you . [ scene_break ] chelsea : so , you and grandma kate were both really hookers ? i thought sami was just being a jealous bitch , but she was telling the truth ? billie : in a manner of speaking . chelsea : what the hell does that mean ? billie : i told you when i was young , i was on the wild side . chelsea : billie , being a prostitute is a little more than being `` wild . `` billie : yeah , yeah , you 're right . chelsea : and you have the nerve to judge me ? billie : i know what could happen to a lonely , vulnerable girl who thinks she is more sophisticated than she really is . my father got me involved in porno films when i was younger than you are now . and it was n't until i met bo that i actually turned my life around . chelsea : that 's why you said he was your protector . billie : and i 'll always love him for that . chelsea : so , what ? were you and grandma kate , like , in business together ? billie : no , no . chelsea [ sighs ] i was n't even raised by your grandma kate . when lucas was little , she was a single mom struggling to make ends meet . she wanted to give him the kind of life that she was n't able to give austin and me . so she let stefano dimera turn her into a high - priced call girl . chelsea : so i really come from two generations of hookers . billie : hey ! two women who turned their lives around . chelsea : oh , my god . what if sami 's right ? what if it is genetic ? what if i 'm doomed to follow in your footsteps ? billie : that is not gon na happen , okay ? i will not let that happen . you 're gon na break the cycle . chelsea : you ca n't promise that . nobody can . oh , my god . i must be cursed . billie : chelsea . chelsea , no !

[ scene_break ] meredith : okay , let 's see what we can do here . i bet you 've gotten a whole slew of calls . emily told me once that your password was her name . e - m - i - l - y . you changed it . i 'm shocked . oh , but i have an idea . s - a - m - i . and that 's it . i 'm in . one more betrayal , one more ... way to disrespect the wo -- the woman you claimed you loved then murdered . and then forgot . oh , if i had any doubts about what i 'm doing , they are gone now . emily would want to make sure that i never let you hurt anyone else .

he fell into the dessert , daniel . that 's jack , it 's always drama or hi - jinks . there 's nothing in between . daniel : well , jack 's exciting . jennifer : no , it 's not exciting . it 's not . it 's not what i want . i want ... i want empathy and i want communication and commitment . i want you . i do n't even know why we are talking about jack being in salem in the first place , 'cause he 's probably not even in salem anymore . he probably jumped the next plane . this was probably a little pit stop on to his next adventure , and he did n't even want me to find out he was here in the first place . obviously it was an accident that i found out he was here . daniel : i know , yeah -- i mean , so why are we talking about him ? jennifer : i do n't wan na talk about it -- i just want my life back . daniel : okay , okay . jennifer : that 's what i want . daniel : i know . jennifer : and i just -- i wan na know -- i wan na know why . why did he do this ?

paige : great -- of course , i 've only been here for two minutes . daniel : well , no worries , we 're not gon na ask you to do brain surgery for a couple weeks . kidding . paige : i know . daniel : you have nothing to be nervous about . paige : i heard anne milbauer can be kinda -- daniel : oh , if anne gives you a hard time , you send her my way . paige : oh , i did n't mean -- daniel : no , that 's -- i mean it . paige : okay . daniel : okay ? alright , now , i want you to come with me . paige : where are we going ? daniel : oh , it 's just a surprise . jj : hi . if you 're looking for my mom , she 's -- eve : no , i 'm here to see you , jj , and i think you know why . sami : i was hoping he 'd be awake . marlena : oh , yes , well the doctor said they 've got him sedated . he 's been disoriented . sami : uh - huh . so does he remember anything ? marlena : well , he 's been a little agitated . sami : the doctors think he 's gon na be all right , right ? marlena : daniel says he -- his prognosis is very good . sami : thank god . marlena : thank you so much for coming . sami : mom , no matter what my history is with john , i 'm so glad that you got this miracle . marlena : thanks for saying that . sami : i just wish that , you know , we could find a way to make kristen pay for what she did to eric . i 'm not giving up hope that she will suffer for what she did . kristen : i 've got great news , father , all the charges against me have been dropped . no more horrible ankle accessory . i am free ! stefano : congratulations , my dear . now , how do you plan to celebrate your victory ? kristen : i do n't know , i 'm not sure . stefano : why not ? kristen : i do n't know . i 've been waiting for this day for months , and now that it 's here , i woke up with this feeling of dread . stefano : about what ? kristen : i 'm not sure . ej : mother , what on earth are you doing here ? susan : oh , elvis , i just had to come . i had to . to save my sweet , sweet boy . look at you , how big and everything . sami : mom -- oh , i forgot . the kids , they made a get well card for john and i left it at home . oh , i am going to hear about that from johnny . marlena : no , you know what , that 's okay , i can swing by and pick it up . that 'll give me a chance to get my hugs from the children and that 'll do my heart good . sami : why do you say it like that ? i mean , they said john 's gon na get better , right ? marlena : oh , no , no , no , no , of course he is . i just -- you know , i have n't had a chance to tell him how much i regret what happened the last ... year . the fighting and all that . sami : will he remember all of that ? marlena : oh , i do n't know . but i do n't want to forget how i feel . how i feel right now , about him and how i feel about your incredible support . sami : oh mom , i felt the same way . i 'm so grateful to you for supporting me , and giving me your blessing -- ej and me . marlena : yes . well , whatever makes you happy . so if this makes you happy -- sami : it does , mom . it makes me very , very happy . marlena : oh , honey . ej : look mother , i 'm obviously delighted that you 're here , but a little bit shocked . i do n't quite understand -- why is it , exactly , that you had to come all the way from england to save me ? susan : i promised i was never going to set foot in this creepy place ever again . but i had to to rescue my boy . ew - ew . ej : what 's wrong ? susan : this place gives me the heebie jeebies , elvis , i could n't step one foot in here if i thought mr. stefano dimera was here lurking around . ej : oh , okay , mother why do n't you just tell me exactly what it is you came here to save me from ? susan : okay , elvis , i was at home minding my own business and i just had a premonition , you know , just like celeste used to have . do you remember her ? ej : a premonition ? susan : yes , it struck me like a lightening bolt right out of the blue . and i could n't sit still with it , so i turned to your step daddy and i said , `` edmund , elvis is in danger -- terrible , terrible , terrible danger . aiden : so , i 'm sorry to drag you all the way out to chicago , but i thought it might help to be away from prying eyes . hope : i appreciate that . thank you . at home i 've always been , um , half of a couple . you know , `` bo and hope . `` the idea of having to explain to people right now -- aiden : i understand . hope : i 'm sure caroline expected me to wait forever for bo . so my deciding to move on , it 's not going to be easy for her -- or anyone , really . aiden : including you . hope , before this date goes any further , i just -- i need to ask you ... are you sure you 're ready to do this ? paige : hi . kayla : welcome . paige : thanks . i did n't expect the chief of staff to be interested in meeting the interns . kayla : well , i 'm also jj 's aunt . paige : oh . kayla : i 've heard a lot about you . paige : have you ? daniel : yeah , dr. brady , here , is going to give you the v.i.p . tour . paige : oh , i 'm not a v.i.p . kayla : no , do n't worry , every university hospital employee is a v.i.p . daniel : now , you 're gon na shadow dr. brady and you 're gon na find out what it takes to run this place from top to bottom . paige : wow . kayla : well , do n't get too excited , i 'm not that interesting . daniel : yeah she is . and i 'm sure you 'll learn a lot . paige : well i 'm looking forward to it . jj : if this about what happened -- eve : you know , marybeth told me about the photos , jj . jj : it 's not what you think . eve : really , you did n't make out with some tramp the minute my daughter was n't around ? jj : no , i would never do that to paige . eve : wow , then you must have an identical twin brother running around here somewhere . jj : what ? eve : how else do you explain the photos , jj ? jj : i 'm pretty sure that i was set up . eve : well , that 's the best that you can do , jj ? i thought you were a better liar than that . jj : well , i 'm not lying , i was waiting for paige to come back to the party and -- paige was all i can think about , okay , i was n't interested in this other girl , at all . eve : well then why do you think it happened ? i mean , if you 're not interested , surely you would n't have jumped this other girl 's bones the minute my daughter was n't around to witness it . jj : i did n't jump anyone 's bones . and i do n't know why or how it happened , okay , do n't you understand ? eve : no , the only thing i know and i understand is that you were so wasted , obviously you blacked out . jj : no , i was totally sober . eve : until my daughter left the party . jj : even then , i swear , i was n't high or drunk . not on purpose . eve : what the hell does that even -- what do you mean , `` not on purpose `` ? jj : it means i did n't willingly drink or do drugs , okay . someone must 've wanted me wasted -- i think someone put something in my drink . eve : drink ? jj : it was a soda . and it might even be that girl that was in the pictures . eve : do you still have those photos on your phone ? jj : yeah . eve : well , show them to me . jj : why ? eve : because paige erased them from her phone , she insisted that they were n't a big deal . you know what , i 'd like to see them for myself . now ! ej : look mother , we talked about this . you know , i know that you have a very active imagination , yes , but i think if you really were psychic than you would win the national lottery once in a while . you do play every week , and yet you seem to lose rather consistently . susan : oh , my elvis , you sweet thing , you , i can not control my gift , honey . but i want you to know that this feeling that i have in the pit of my stomach , it is not heartburn , because i know heartburn well -- cause when i was carrying you in my belly i had it all the time , this really bad feeling . ej : mm - hmm . why do n't we just get to the point -- whatever that is . susan : evil -- evil 's about to besot my first - born baby . that 's you , elvis . ej : mm - hmm . susan : it was just so scary for me i could n't sit still . i hopped on the first flight to salem . i was in such a rush i forgot my motion sickness bands . ej : mm - hmm . susan : poor , not - so - nice man that was sitting next to me on the airplane . ej : well , i 'm sorry about that , but you really could 've saved yourself the trouble . i mean , i 'm fine -- in fact , i 've never been better , terrific , in fact . as you know , i just got married . susan : yes , i heard about that . and i 've been thinking that maybe , you know , this evil that i feel 's gon na besot you might have something to do with that spawn of satan . now i 'm sorry , i do n't wan na hurt your feelings , but you know she kinda is . dr. marlena evans is my friend , but that sami brady 's caused her a world of trouble . ' course i could probably say same thing about you , now could n't i , my sweet boy . ej : mother , she is the love of my life and the mother of my children . susan : why do you keep splitting up ? ej : we went through a rough patch , that 's all , but now things really could not be more perfect . susan : oh , elvis , honey , things could always be more perfect . ej : well , we 're planning a honeymoon so i 'm sure we 'll take care of that . hey , you never know , we could come and see you and edmund . susan : there 's just one problem with that , honey , i 'm here right now . ej : tell you what i 'm gon na do -- here 's an idea , i know a guy , i 'm gon na give him a call , and i 'm gon na find you a flight back to london today . there we go . susan : yep , but see , i 'm not going anywhere without you . ej : mother , as much as i would love to go with you , i 'm afraid i can not take the children out of school . susan : you ca n't stay here . [ phone ringing ] ej : one second . i have to take this . would you just excuse me for one second , and please , please , do not go anywhere . thank you . susan : i 'm a stay right here . i know mr. stefano dimera ai n't here , but i can still sense his evil presence . i 'm gon na take care of that right now . yes , i am . gon na get rid of that evil . you just go , evil . you go , evil . you just go , evil . you go , you go , you go . [ both screams ] paige : what 's been your favorite job so far ? kayla : oh , that 's a tough one . i guess the most rewarding was when i helped run a free clinic in nigeria . paige : wow , i 've always wanted to work in africa . kayla : have you ? paige : yeah , my mom was there for a little bit and -- kayla : oh , that 's right , i knew that . paige : yeah , she always made it sound like this amazing adventure . kayla : well , if you ever have any questions , do n't hesitate to ask me . paige : thanks . kayla : so , what about college , how 's that going for you ? paige : well , i love my classes , so far , but my first exams are n't until next week , so -- kayla : well , make sure you make time for fun -- 'cause that 's important too . paige : yeah , well , jj and i went to that big off - campus party a few nights ago , so -- kayla : you did n't have a good time ? paige : well , it just did n't turn out to be quite as fun as we thought it would be . jj : why do you want to see these pictures , i mean , what difference does it make ? eve : because my daughter is very trusting . she downplayed all this to me because you downplayed it all to her . but you know what , i 'll be the judge of that . jj : i told you -- eve : well if you do n't want to show me , obviously you have something to hide . jj : all right . eve : oh , my god ! jj : but -- eve : i had no idea that these were so graphic , so lurid . jj : but you have to understand , miss larson , that is not me -- eve : okay , stop nattering on , jj ! look at you , you 're all over this young woman ! and you 're half naked . jj : yeah , i told you , i do n't remember . eve : because you were drugged ? stoned ? high ? whatever ? it 's no excuse for your behavior . jj , i 'm so disappointed in you . i thought you were different . jj : look , okay , you do n't get it , okay , 'cause this is not my fault . paige believes me . she knows that i would never cheat on her . eve : that 's because she 's inexperienced . and like i said , she 's very trusting . but , you know what ? i know better . i want you to listen to me , and i want you to listen close , you 're to stay away from my daughter . you hear me ? far , far away . jj : no , i wo n't . eve : excuse me ? jj : you need to hear me out first . eve : no , you need to get out of my way ! jj : wait ! susan : sami brady , you just scared the dickens out of me . sami : yes , you surprised me , as well , susan . ej did n't tell me that you were coming . susan : that 's because it was a surprise . sami : i -- i bet . susan : look at you , huh , lookin ' like yourself , huh ? sami : so , susan , i do n't know if you know , but i 'm sami dimera now . susan : yeah , i know . i heard you tied the knot . boy how time flies , huh ? seems like just yesterday you were strapped to electric chair , just waitin ' to fry for killin ' someone , huh ? sami : well , it was a lethal injection -- but i was totally innocent . susan : imagine that . sami : is ej here ? susan : he 's got a phone call . well , you know what , while it 's just us chickens , maybe we can put our heads together , talk some sense into ej . sami : about what ? susan : my boy 's in danger . sami : what kind of danger ? susan : well , the dangerous kind of danger . and i do n't know exactly what it is , but i do know that the only way i can protect my son and his family , is if he comes home with me . sami : you want us to come to england with you ? susan : no ... no ... see , actually when i said family , i meant johnny and sydney . but , uh , i guess you could come too . sami : susan , i am his wife , i am the mother of his children . susan : well , he said that maybe you need a honeymoon , so we have a convertible sofa so i guess that would do . ej : mother , samantha is n't going anywhere , and neither , for that matter , am i. dove invited women to a makeover with a difference . hope : aiden , i would n't be here if i did n't want to be . there 's no doubt in my mind that i want to give this -- us ... a chance . aiden : well , i 'm glad . hope : and you know , it 's also because i finally feel that i have no other choice but to try to make a life for myself . aiden : look , if this does n't click , okay , whatever , this is no harm , no foul . okay ? we just go back to being friends -- right ? hope : [ sighs ] yes , exactly . okay . aiden : mostly . all right , well , i do have an amazing afternoon planned , if i do say so myself . hope : do you ? aiden : mm - hmm . now , i understand that you are a sondheim fan . hope : who told you that ? aiden : well , i have my resources , you know . um , so how would you like to go see a matinee of company after lunch ? hope : what ? no , no , no , are you serious right now ? aiden : of course i 'm serious right now . hope : i would love to but they 've been sold out for -- aiden : well a client scored me some tickets , okay . and look , i promise i will get you back to salem in time for dinner . okay ? hope : well , you have thought of everything , have n't you ? aiden : that 's right . really want our first date to be perfect . hope : oh ! eve : let go of me , jj . jj : um , i 'm sorry , i just wanted a chance to be able to explain myself , 'cause i can prove that i 'm telling the truth . eve : really ? well how ? jj : well , it 's not exactly hard evidence , but um , just give me one second . [ phone ringing ] daniel : hey , what 's goin ' on ? jj : hey , um , daniel , i 'm in need of a big favor , um -- is there any way that you can meet up with me in the next hour or so ? daniel : well as a matter of fact , i was about to go on break . um , how 'bout my place ? jj : oh , that sounds great , um , and i just want to let you know that i 'm going to be bringing paige 's mom along with me . stefano : you 're starting to sound like celeste -- vibes and eyes of -- [ laughs ] kristen : actually , you know what , it 's your fault . stefano : moi ? kristen : yeah , because yesterday you had to remind me that even the best - laid plans can go awry . and then you sent me that horrible photo . why did you do that ? i mean , it was very unnerving . stefano : it was simply a caution not to let down your guard . now , if you are finished prattling on about yourself , i have a favor to ask . susan : elvis , you 're so cute . ej : mother -- susan : yes you are , and i know that sometimes i tend to embarrass you . ej : oh , i have no idea what you 're talking about . susan : yes , you do , and it 's okay . it 's part of the reason why i stayed away , honey , even though it crushed my heart , knowing that you were being corrupted by your evil father and -- i 'm biting my tongue , right now , elvis , i 'm biting my tongue so hard i bet it 's bleeding . but i do want you to know that i stayed away , also , 'cause i knew that you were living the life you always wanted to be livin ' . a life that edmund and me could n't give you -- edmund and i ? me and edmund ? i never get that right . but anyway , i had that premonition and i knew that i just had to spring into action like a momma bear protecting her baby bear cub . ej : mother , i know how much you love me -- susan : i love you . ej : and i love you , and i wish that i could spend more time with you , but samantha and i are just in the process of rebuilding our relationship . susan : it 's okay , i said she could come too -- if she really has to . ej : well -- sami : um , that 's just so nice of you . thank you , but i 'm -- i 'm busy , you know , i have to stay here , i 'm running dimera enterprises -- with elvis . susan : you see , that 's the work of the devil . now come on , you need a new job , elvis . why do n't you come to england , i know the perfect job for you . you could work for the sun , it 's just like the national enquirer , only a whole lot classier . please ? wo n't you do this for your momma ? please , it 'd make me so happy . please ? please ? please ? ej : mother -- susan : please , elvis ? ej : this is my home . i 'm staying in salem . susan : well then so am i . waiter : i 'm so sorry , again . aiden : no , it 's , it 's , it 's okay . waiter : unfortunately , now , there 's been a small kitchen fire . hope : oh my god , was anyone hurt ? waiter : we put it out , but all we have left to serve is coffee and mints -- on the house . aiden : on the house . thank you , so much . mints -- thank you so -- these are my favorite . thank you , appreciate it . thank you . hope : oh , my gosh . aiden : thank you , yeah , thank you . ah , this is unbelievable , hope , i am so sorry . hope : no , do n't worry , it 's fine -- really , it 's -- we 'll grab something quick on the way to the theater and try to find you a new shirt . not that there 's anything wrong with that fabulous - looking t - shirt . aiden : are you sure you do n't mind ? hope : no . as much as i was looking forward to my spaghetti -- which you know i was -- i 'm much more excited about the show . aiden : you are ? good , good , because it has amazing reviews and i think it 's going to be a lot of -- [ phone ringing ] aiden : i 'm so sorry , do you mind if i just -- hope : no , please , take it . aiden : i apologize -- hope : what ? the show 's been cancelled now ? is that next ? aiden : yes . the show 's been cancelled . hope : what ? aiden : yeah . oh -- this is unbelievable . kayla : have you met our new intern , paige larson ? maxine : no . kayla : paige , if you are under the false impression that i run this place , mm- mm - mm . you got a problem or an issue , you go to her . paige : [ chuckles ] got it . maxine : dr. jonas requested a counseling consult for a new admit . they 're slammed downstairs and have n't been able to get to her yet , so , i thought maybe you could talk to her in the meantime . i hate to keep her waiting . i have a feeling that you 'll know just what to say . kayla : yeah . i 'll take care of it right away . daniel : i took a blood sample from jj the night of the party , and i can assure you he was n't drinking . the only substance that i found in his system was a drug . the name that i doubt you 'd recognize , but in the vernacular , it 's called a roofie . eve : so he was taking drugs . jj : no , nobody takes a roofie on purpose . eve : actually , jj , they do . jj : fine , whatever . explain these pictures accidentally getting sent to paige , eve , i 'm telling you that i was set up . daniel : okay , eve , i 've gotten to know jj and i believe he 's telling the truth . he would not take that drug on purpose . eve : and i should trust you because , why ? i mean , you 've made it very clear , daniel , you do n't trust me . daniel : i know that you and i , we 've had our differences , but i want you to understand that i believe that paige is a fantastic young woman . otherwise , i would n't have helped her get an internship at the hospital . eve : i should just fall down at your feet in gratitude ? daniel : all i 'm saying is that i would n't be advocating for jj if i had a single doubt about his innocence . eve : huh ? jj , would you give us a moment , please , i would like to talk to daniel -- alone . ej : mother , look , listen , this is completely ridiculous , you understand ? i 'm not in any danger . susan : how do you know that , elvis ? i 'm the one that has this feeling , not you . and now that i 'm here , i have it a whole lot more . i can see it in your eyes , elvis , you 're up to something . somethin 's gon na cause you a world of trouble . i think you need to tell your momma about this , you just get it on out . you get it on out , you get it on out , you 're gon na feel a whole lot better . ej : look , this is ridiculous , mother -- marlena : susan ... banks . susan : now dr. marlena evans , look at you , you 're just as beautiful as the day i left . what happened to your arm , now , you hurt yourself ? marlena : oh , skateboarding accident . all : [ laughing ] the kids love hearing that , is n't it silly ? no , i was just -- it 's a sprain , that 's all . but speaking of lovely , you have not changed a bit . susan : oh , thank you . edmund 's love , i guess , just keeps me young . marlena : i can see that it does . is he with you ? susan : no , he 's not . marlena : oh , i 'm sorry . so , how long will you be in salem ? ej : actually , mother is going to be getting a flight home later today . but in the meantime , you two should catch up . if you do n't mind , samantha and i actually have a business meeting that we need to attend , so marlena , maybe you 'd be kind enough to amuse my mother for a couple of hours -- marlena : oh , i 'd be charmed . thank you , i would love to . sami : no , no , thank you . marlena : i just -- i came by , i was hoping to see children when they get home from school susan : children -- ca n't wait to meet the children . marlena : oh , they are so precious . susan : i 'm sure they are , i 've seen pictures . sami : hey , mom , this is the card , right , i told you johnny and the kids -- marlena : oh , yeah . sami : made for john . marlena : okay , that 's great , i 'll give it to him -- he 'll be very touched . ej : wonderful -- well , we 'll be back shortly . susan : you might think this is all settled , but it 's not . ej : time will tell , mother . susan : it certainly will . sami : mom , see ya . mom . ej : come on . sami : ' kay . susan : well now look at that . marlena : uh - huh . susan : the children did that . it just -- marlena : amazing . susan : artists , huh ? marlena : they are , they are -- runs in the family , i suppose . susan : so how are you and john ? aiden : so , is there anything in particular you 'd like to do while we are here ? would you like to , i do n't know , maybe gawk at the sears tower or take a dip in freezing lake michigan ? hope : well , i think we should quit while we 're ahead . aiden : are we ahead ? hope : the mints are really good . aiden : i wanted our first date to be memorable , guess i got what wished for , hmm ? just not quite the way i intended . hope : come on , you have to admit , this is gon na be a great story to tell the kids some day . i had fun . i did . but then again , i 'm not the one who had a plate of pasta dumped on me . it was nice just spending time with you . aiden : so , are you saying you might be willing to try this again ? kayla : i thought it might be more comfortable to speak in here . uh , may i call you lucy ? lucy : oh , could you , please , leave it open , i do n't want to be closed in here with anyone . kayla : of course . lucy : no offense . kayla : would you like me to call a family member or a friend to be here with you ? lucy : no , i do n't want anyone to know ... about what happened to me . kayla : why not ? lucy : um , ... cause i feel like it 's my fault . if i 'd just been more -- more careful , or -- kayla : lucy , listen to me . you were raped . you are not to be blamed in any way . an act of violence was committed against your will . listen to me . seriously , this is not your fault . it is not your fault . it is n't your fault . eve : as a parent , you 've got ta understand my concern . i mean , what if it was your daughter ? what was her name ? daniel : melanie . eve : alright , melanie . what if she came home and told you that her ex - druggie boyfriend had some compromising pictures taken of himself with another woman ? that he did n't remember it happening , but they found drugs in his system . would n't you be just a little bit skeptical of his story ? daniel : okay , you know what , yeah i would , but see , i know jj . eve : yes you do , and from everything theresa 's told me , he 's lied to you over and over again . he 's caused you a world of trouble . now what makes you think he has n't reverted back to his old ways , daniel ? daniel : eve -- eve : no , you 're not omniscient . you ca n't know . but what i do n't understand is why you 're so quick to take his side , i mean -- unless , oh -- you 're trying to score points with the fair jennifer , are n't you ? daniel : my opinion of jj has nothing to do with jennifer , but i 'm not so sure you could say the same . marlena : john , uh , john had an accident . susan : huh ! oh , no ! is he alright ? marlena : well , he 's , he 's recovering at university hospital and the prognosis is good . susan : well that 's -- that 's wonderful news . marlena : i will pass on your good wishes . susan : please do . dr. marlena , when i think about the things i did back then , to the two of you , i feel so bad . marlena : oh , no , no , no , no , no . susan , susan , there is no need , no need for that at all . susan : well , i guess everything ended up the way it should , right ?

my mom , or a psychiatrist ? marlena : maybe both ? nicole : you think threatening a lawsuit is gon na stop me ? hmm ? kate : nicole , if we drag out this ownership battle for months , we 're going to throw the company into bankruptcy . which means we both lose a hell of a lot of money . theresa : what are you guys doing here ?

nicole : excuse me ? i mean , with kate ? who 's been a total snake ? kate : nicole . this is a sad time . we need to move past it . nicole : fine . all right , look , we got a company to run . lucas : i guess the upshot is that adrienne wants to , uh , take one more try at keeping her family and her marriage together . will : but the divorce was final . lucas : yeah , well , i guess when it comes to people 's feelings , nothing is final . will : wow . dad , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . lucas : yeah , yeah . just stay out of it , okay ? let 's not talk about that anymore . concentrate on sonny . i do n't want to talk about his mother . will : okay , look , i realize that things are kind of a little bit awkward now , but here 's what i 'm thinking . sonny gave me a million chances to fix things , and i blew every one of them . i was manipulative , i was jealous , i was insecure . name it . but if i had just been honest from the get - go , i would not be alone right now . nobody knows more about being alone than you . dad , you were alone for years . until adrienne came along . lucas : yeah . justin : eve . i 'm sorry . you should n't have seen that . is there something you wanted ? eve : justice . how about justice ? justin : eve -- eve : yeah , you know what ? actually , i just came down here to lay my eyes on the piece of slime who murdered my daughter , but guess what ? i ca n't do that because you have n't caught him yet . you have n't arrested him yet . justin : yes , but he will be -- eve : do you know what tomorrow is ?

are you saying that we 're just gon na fail ? kate : everything that we try is going to work -- brady : will you please , please , please , shut the hell up ? justin : eve , listen . i do n't make promises lightly , but i 'm gon na make one right now . i 'm gon na see to it that you get justice . eve : thank you . what -- i 'm not impressed enough ? justin : no . i was just remembering my family used to always take care of their business outside the law . for decades . it was always brutal . always wrong . eve : well , now you 're working inside the system . justin : yes , i am . and so should you . but you have to be patient . eve : i know i just sounded a little gangster back there in the police station . i 'm sorry . justin : it 's okay . but trust me , this is gon na work out . i would never lie to you about that . abe : so you trained in miami ?

no , sir . i 've known about you a long time . abe : sorry ? lani : you were one of our 10 role models that we studied in advanced civics . i remember you were listed as `` aso . `` always serving others . oh , my god , that sounds like i 'm trying to score points . i 'm not . abe : well , it 's , uh -- it 's understood . thank you for the compliment . but you should probably get to the briefing room . lani : right . i do n't want to be late on my first day . it was nice to talk to you , sir . abe : thank you . lani , excuse me , um ... are you sure we never met ? lani : no , sir . i 'd remember . adrienne : oh , jeez . lucas : adrienne . adrienne : hey . lucas : listen , i saw what you saw . you want to talk about it ? adrienne : you know what , um , i 'm fine . i think i just misread the situation , you know ? eve just lost her daughter , for heaven 's sake , and justin -- justin was comforting her . letting her know that people care . that everything was gon na be done . lucas : all right , well , if seeing justin with eve is n't bothering you , i believe that . but it 's got ta be something . there 's got ta be something going on with you . is it me ? is it because of what i said when i told you that you were making a mistake by giving justin another chance ? adrienne : no , no . could we just not talk about that , please ? please ? lucas : okay . let me just say this . whatever 's going on , whatever 's bothering you , i would love to help in any way i can . i mean , there was a time when we could tell each other anything . so i 'm here if you -- adrienne : all right . i 'll tell you . today , jason is here to volunteer brady : my son , uh , he 's trying to sleep . he 's upstairs . upstairs , which is where i heard every single word you were shouting . theresa : i was n't shouting . kate : sorry . we 'll try to keep it down . nicole : yes , sorry . we 'll be much better . brady : thank you . i 'm gon na check my messages . nicole : [ sighs ] kate : so , i think we will revisit the budget later . hopefully when we have both had time to think about it . so let 's get to the design end . theresa : oh , yes , finally . okay , so -- nicole : honey , theresa , would you mind getting us some coffee ? kate : ugh , i 'd love some coffee , mm - hmm . theresa : uh , yeah . i can just , uh , ring the bell for henderson and -- nicole : actually , it 'd be a lot faster if you could just get it yourself . okay , did you see the style magazines from last month ? i mean , i have a few here -- kate : i do . nicole : impressive , right ? kate : i remember those . theresa , the coffee . oh , absolutely . who 's the photographer ? s. wiggins ? do you know s. wiggins ? nicole : beats me . i mean , these look like they were shot from a spy cam on a drone . kate : that 's totally embarrassing . nicole : i know . kate : see , what we need to do is get -- there -- see , something like that . nicole : i think it 's the colors , the movement . that 's something that i wanted to deal with today , i mean , we need a photographer who understands style . kate : i could n't agree more . nicole : okay , so that 's why i was hoping we could convince eric to join us . kate : i have put out feelers to giovanni carpolini . we need the best , right ? nicole : yes . no , i mean , i already offered eric the job . kate : [ sighs ] nicole , we are trying to reinvigorate a dying company . this is going to be all uphill . why would we hire a fashion photographer whose last gig was taking photographs for the hospital newsletter ? nicole : well , because , i mean , he 's been a little -- kate : look , i understand . i know he 's your friend . i like him , too , but we have to be realistic . if we 're going to have one opportunity to do this , we have to do it right . look . do n't you think we need a master ? nicole : yes . i guess you 're right . eric : it 's been hard . life 's been a long , downhill run . i know , suck it up . move on . the fact is , i just -- i 'm starting to feel a little confused . marlena : you know , there are so many constants in your life . compassion , integrity , kindness . things that are part of your core . so they 'll always be there . you 'll never feel confused . go out there . find some challenges and take them on . and you 'll do just fine . eric : i should 've come to my psychiatrist sooner . marlena : do that next time , okay ? eric : okay . you want some more tea ? marlena : uh , no , no . i 'm fine , thank you . but i 'm thinking maybe i 'll just go lie down . i did n't get a lot of rest last night . eric : okay , well , i 'll let you get to it . marlena : oh , honey . eric : take care , okay ? marlena : you take care too . eric : you know , i can stay if you want . i mean , if you have any doubts about chad not being guilty and want to talk it through . marlena : i do n't want to think about all that for a while , okay ?

lucas : absolutely . adrienne : yeah . lucas : i 'm sure it will be fine . and at least it 's good news about your mother . adrienne : yeah , yeah . she 's doing well . well , you know , well enough . lucas : right . and if they find out that -- that you share the same gene , then -- adrienne : there are -- there are preventative measures . [ sighs ] just waiting is -- oh , god , sorry , it 's waiting is so , so hard . lucas : no , no , i know . you know what ? in that case , i think , uh , i think you need a distraction . adrienne : sorry ? lucas : come here . come with me , all right ? adrienne : no , lucas . lucas : come on , come on . adrienne : no , wait . lucas : come on , it 's gon na be fine . no arguments . theresa : okay , i got the coffee that you guys wanted . so , i was , um -- what 's going on ? nicole : oh , the coffee , right , sorry . no time . kate : i am off to make an offer to carpolini . theresa : but -- kate : and if he turns it down , then i 'm just going to put out feelers to the marquette brothers . nicole : okay , and while you 're doing that , i will check out those three designers . theresa : wait , what designers ? what the hell ? i 'm the designer ! nicole : theresa ? kate : right off the bat ? theresa : well , i 'm good . i 'm damn good . kate : you do have talent . theresa : yeah . kate : a lot of it , actually . nicole : theresa , honey , look , we put a pile of money into this company , all right ? let 's wait till it 's a success and then maybe you 'll get a trial . ciao . theresa : what is with you people ? look , i did n't get into this so i could go get you coffee . kate : of course you did n't . you wanted to be the designer . theresa : uh - huh . kate : but no one , and i mean no one , starts at the top . now , we 're going to be bringing in a lot of people with amazing talent and you 're going to study under them , and you 're going to work with them , and eventually , you 'll realize that you were given the education and the chance of a lifetime . i 'll talk to you soon . theresa : [ sighs ] [ grunts ] just -- brady : is everything okay ? theresa : do i look okay to you ? marlena : i am not making that assertion . what i am saying is , that it 's very questionable for a person who was guilty to come looking for help . abe : marlena , think . it was a very smart move . it laid the groundwork for reasonable doubt if he got caught . marlena : then why did he strangle me ? does n't that do away with reasonable doubt ? and what about making multiple appointments ? if he were planning on killing me ? abe : yeah , i do n't -- i do n't know . and you do n't either . but in the meantime , you can not afford to make any more mistakes . marlena : excuse me ? abe : you do n't think it was a mistake to accept chad as a client ? when you 'd agreed to do a profile on the killer for the police department ? marlena : he was only a person of interest then . abe : look , maybe , you know , it was n't illegal , but it 's clearly a breach of ethics . marlena : no . abe : [ sighs ] marlena , i 'm here as a friend . and yes , chad is family . but i need to be objective here , as do you . so i 'm warning you , if he makes contact , talk him into turning himself in . if you offer him safe haven and shield him in any way , even under the guise of giving him therapy , you will be charged as an accessory . eve : [ sighs ] [ sobs ] [ groans ] [ sobbing ] adrienne : i ca n't believe it . you kidnapped me . lucas : well , i had no choice . what was i supposed to do ? and the boat did its job , you know ? did the job it was supposed to do , 'cause i saw you smiling halfway to sandbar island . you had a big smile on your face . adrienne : [ laughing ] okay , i smiled , i smiled . oh , that wind on my face , and the bouncing of the waves . you are so -- you always know exactly what i need . thank you . lucas : well , uh , just -- just call me if you ever want to do it again , okay ? adrienne : i will . lucas : i 'm gon na go . uh , but take care , and , um , let me know when you find out something . adrienne : i will , thank you . lucas : all right . justin : hey . adrienne : oh , hi . justin : hi . i thought you told me that you and lucas were , uh -- adrienne : justin . justin , we 're friends . that 's never gon na change . justin : oh , well , i just -- adrienne : uh , you -- we 're doing so good . can we just not push it , please ? please ?

aiden : all right , i 'm not following you . well , the power company temporarily diverted its electricity to us , so that 's gon na mean an overload to our systems . aiden : all right , so if we 're gon na do this press conference , we have to do it as soon as possible -- is that what you 're saying ? if you want a press conference , soon is better . aiden : all right . officer , i need to get to the , uh , box . yeah , yeah , sure . thank you . pardon me . [ edgy music ] look , i want to talk to you two because i keep going back to this stefano dimera case . there 's a few things in there that just do n't set right with me . i was hoping that you two could ... help clarify a few things . rafe : wow . hope : we went over every detail of stefano 's case at least a hundred times . rafe : the facts are all right there . they point to andré dimera being the murderer . aiden : except he was n't . rafe : no . he 's still our guy . he just paid someone else to talk so he could be set free . aiden : hmm . so you ... still believe he 's guilty ? hope : yeah . yes . rafe : what the hell do you expect us to say ? aiden : the truth . a little cooperation . see , as d.a .... i can make this case disappear forever . or i can re - open it ... take another look - see . and dig ... a little deeper . see , if i decide to re - open this case , i know ... there 's a few things in there that are gon na trouble me . the murder weapon , for instance . do you know for certain , hope , that andré stole bo 's gun ? hope : not provable . but it was found in his possession . rafe : he stole it from her house so he could set her up for murder . aiden : yeah , see , that 's not provable either , though . that 's just a theory ... right ? that andré wanted to kill his father ... and have you take the fall for the murder ? rafe : do you have a point , aiden ? because we have three psychos on the loose . aiden : well , maybe you could just quickly answer this question : why would andré keep the gun ? why would he dump the body in an abandoned building ? i mean , that 's -- i look at those things , and that sounds like the work of someone who 's trying to improvise . now , we 're talking about andré dimera -- experienced criminal . does n't sound like something he would do . right ? [ phone rings ] aiden : you think ? it 's the attorney general . has some questions about the curfew -- i have to take this . i 'll , uh , be right back . [ beep ] aiden : aiden jennings . [ tense music ] hope : everything i did that night was wrong . i lost it . i snapped . i shot stefano , and i dragged you into the cover - up . rafe : no , you did not drag me into anything . and frankly , we both know that stefano goaded you into shooting him . hope : i 'm still guilty of murder . [ intense music ] rafe : i do n't question you holding a press conference , sir . in fact , i think that it is vital to do so , but ... why in such a public venue ? hope : exactly . abe : absolutely not . hope : it would be much better to do it from here . abe : the day orpheus , clyde , and xander have me cowering is the day i 'm no longer fit for office . frankly , i ... i resent your challenging my authority . we would n't even need a press conference if you and the rest of the salem pd had done their job and brought these bastards in ! steve : here 's some decaf . kayla : decaf ? seriously ? steve : yeah , seriously . last thing you need is caffeine racing through your system . kayla : that is exactly what i need . steve : kayla ... we 've been out there all day looking for joe and claire , and you have n't even recovered from surgery yet . what you really need to do is lie down and try to get some sleep . or just rest . kayla : sleep ? rest ? are you kidding me ? our son and our niece are out there somewhere -- god knows where -- being terrorized by some lunatics . can you sleep ? can you rest ? steve : no . kayla : no . steve : but i have n't been through what you have . kayla : to hell with what i 've been through . they have been kidnapped , and i 'm not gon na rest until they 're home safe and sound . john : cell 's not working ? marlena : uh , no , no , uh ... the power came back , so i ... i was able to charge it before . you know , i have n't been able to reach shawn and belle . they must be beside themself knowing what 's going on here right now . john : we 're gon na get through this , doc . marlena : you know what ? i feel like it 's my fault . if i just ... if i had n't taken claire out of the house -- john : listen to me . claire is smart as a whip ... and she is strong just like you are . she 's gon na find a way to outsmart these bastards -- i know she will . and then she 's gon na lead us right to her and joey . [ thud , clatter ] joey : [ whispers ] hey , we need a plan -- we better get the hell outta here ! belle : [ whispers ] yeah , i have one ! if i can just get my hands free . joey : how can you do anything when they never take damned eyes off us ? belle : shh ! just chill out , okay ? i know exactly what i 'm doing . xander : i know you wan na use these ... little brats as human shields to get us out of town , but it could backfire on us too . slow us down , get us caught ... or worse . orpheus : xander , when i ask for your opinion , you 'll know i 've completely lost my mind . we 're not adopting them . they are of value to us , and when they cease to be , we 'll deal with them . belle : you wo n't get away with this , you know . my grandfather will stop at nothing to have you back behind bars ! orpheus : is that so ? i ca n't tell you how much i look forward to giving him the opportunity to do just that . [ dramatic music ] steve : sweetness . listen . i feel the same way you do . but i am worried about you . you just had surgery . i 'm worried about you getting so worked up . kayla : no ! i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm trying to stay calm . i 'm ... i wan na be strong , and i wan na be here for joey when he comes back . and i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na take him in my arms and i 'm ... i 'm gon na hold hi -- i ... i just wan na hold him in my arms . that 's all i want . steve : me too . kayla : we just need ... we just need one clue , one ... one lead ... and then we 'll find him . steve : [ whispers ] that 's right . kayla : yeah . steve : let 's hold on to that . kayla : yeah . [ sobs ] ciara : i keep thinking that i 'm gon na wake up from this horrible nightmare ... but it 's not a nightmare , is it ? it 's actually happening . those creeps have claire and joey . theo : i mean , i just hope to god they 're okay . i do n't know what i 'd do if anything happened to her . or joey . ciara : me neither . theo : what ? ciara : nothing . theo : well , you 're looking at me funny . ciara : well , it 's ... it 's just something really lame to even be thinking of right now . theo : right , well ... just say it . ciara : well ... i can see how worried you are . especially about claire . and i know that it 's because you have a thing for her . and i know that waiting and not knowing makes it harder on you . you really do care about claire , do n't you ? rafe : well , with all due respect , sir ... you 're under a lot of stress . so are we . but i think that it is rather unfair of you to accuse us of incompetence when our men are working tirelessly around the clock to bring these fugitives in . abe : well , then they 're not working hard enough . this city is slipping into anarchy . the citizens are looting , brandishing firearms . if we do n't get this under control , this is not going to end well ! for anyone ! especially the hostages ! [ somber music ] abe : [ stammers ] i 'm sorry , i - i , uh ... that was ... terribly insensitive . hope : it 's okay . abe : no , no , no , it 's not . look ... at the risk of losing one of my best detectives , i would understand if you want to step back from this investigation and be with your family . hope : no . absolutely not . claire is my family . i 'll get in touch with the bureau ... report back to you as soon as i have something . abe : good . good . thank you . rafe : thank you , sir . well ... i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , he 's , uh ... he 's under a lot of pressure , you know ? hope : claire could be going through god knows what right now and ... and joey . rafe : we 'll find 'em . look at me . come on . we ... are going to find them . [ somber music ] marlena : i wish i had the same confidence in claire that you do . look , i know she 's smart . and i know she 's tough . but -- but she 's also so cavalier about this whole thing . she was barely listening when you had the family talk . john : you think that did n't register with me ? that 's why i reviewed everything with her again . [ dramatic music ] john : hey , punkin ' did you hear anything i was talking about earlier ? claire : say what ? john : ah . there 's my answer . claire : oh , hey , granddad , i just put these ear buds in . of course i was listening . john : [ laughs ] i know you were . so , hey , just for the heck of it ... if , um , if something happens and you find yourself in danger , what 's your game plan ? punkin ' ... i did n't give you this necklace to add to your bling collection , sweetheart . i gave you this necklace because i love you so much and i want you always protected . claire : yeah , i love you too . john : i know you do . so listen to me very carefully . if you think for one moment that your life is in danger , you just press this little charmy thing on your necklace here , okay ? and what it 's gon na do is activate a transponder . it 's gon na go right to my cell phone with your exact location . i will be right there ! do you understand ? claire : i got it . marlena : i 'm glad you spoke to her -- i 'm glad she knows exactly what to do . i just hope she gets a chance to use the transponder . john : what we have to do is alert steve and kayla about that necklace . more than likely , orpheus will be holding claire with joey , so with any luck , we 're gon na be able to rescue both of them and bring 'em home together . belle : hey , my grandfather 's so much smarter than you . you wo n't even see him coming . orpheus : well , he certainly cares a great deal about you . which means he 'll do anything to get you back , including play right into my hand . so you see ... it 's a win - win for me . you and little joey here are our `` get out of town free `` cards . joey : yeah , if you get out of town . you really think our parents and the cops are just gon na let you walk away ? not after you killed my dad . belle : hey . oh , my god , joey . no , you do n't even know . oh , my god , no , he is n't dead ! your father is not dead ! yeah , he just outsmarted him with a kevlar vest , pulled one over on this jerk , just like my grandpa john will . orpheus : i 'll give you this , kid ... your old man is resourceful . but his resources are about to run out . joey : but he 's alive . he 's alive , which means you 're going down ! orpheus : oh , spare me the melodrama , kid . [ joey laughs ] orpheus : salem is in a state of chaos because of me and my crew . when we 're ready to make our move ... we will strike . and then you , well ... most of you , anyway , can get back to your boring , mundane lives . xander : but only after they dish out the ransom money for you punks . orpheus : you talk too much . i 'm going out to do a few things in preparation for the ... press conference this afternoon . keep an eye on them . xander : why do i have to babysit ? orpheus : because i asked you to . xander : what about clyde ? where 's he disappeared to ? orpheus : clyde has his own errand to attend to . [ suspenseful music ] clyde : [ chuckles ] yeah . [ phone rings ] [ ringing ] clyde : hey , jeremiah . i just picked up what you left for me ... and is it ever a beauty . theo : thanks . ciara : so , uh , you never answered my question . maybe i should n't have asked . i mean , under these circumstances , it is ... kind of trivial , right ? theo : yeah , i guess . ciara : but , hey , it 's a distraction . i mean , we know that joey and claire are gon na be fine , so ... theo : yeah . yeah , we -- we do know that . and , i mean , sure , i have a thing with claire , but right now i 'm worried about both of them , her and joey . i just ca n't imagine how scared they must be . ciara : i can , unfortunately . i know how terrifying it is . aiden : uh , hey . i heard about the , uh , the raid on the docks . any intel on the fugitives ? hope : a group of vigilantes decided to go after them . there was gunfire , but no sign of the fugitives . aiden : yeah . hey , uh , sorry about claire and joey . i 'm sure you 're worried sick . hope : yeah . i am . excuse me . aiden : hope , before you go , there 's something i - i wan na talk to you about . hope : aiden , please , not now . aiden : yes , hope . now . i really must insist . steve : you are the man , john . always one step ahead . kayla : i do n't understand . if claire has a device , and she knows how to use it , what 's the hold - up ? why has n't she activated it yet ? marlena : well , maybe she has n't had a chance to use it yet . or maybe orpheus has discovered that she has it . steve : if it looks like a necklace , why would he suspect anything ? john : he would n't . i 'm sure that claire will find a way to activate the transponders . kayla : we should get going . abe is gon na give his press conference at the square , and we should present a united front . marlena : yeah . john : hey , partner . steve : yeah . john : we ca n't underestimate orpheus . if he feels the walls closing in , he 's gon na assert his power , so ... we 're gon na need to be ready to roll if those bastards make a move . steve : i 'm ready . xander : you sure this plan of yours is gon na work ? orpheus : if i was n't sure , i would n't be carrying it out , would i ? xander : just asking . orpheus : instead of asking pointless questions , why do n't you focus on your part in said plan ... and remain silent . i 'll be back shortly . [ tense music ] joey : hey . what were you trying to say before ? belle : in my necklace . joey : what necklace ? belle : oh , god ! no , no , no , no , no , no ... oh , my god ... xander : quiet ! ca n't hear myself think with you two yammering on ! [ exhales ] whining ... and complaining ... like the spoiled little brats you are . pathetic , entitled . think the world owes you a living , do n't you , sweetheart ? well ... think again . [ tense music ] clyde : oh , this is perfect . just perfect . xander : good news , my friend . so ... handling the transfer to the offshore account should n't be a problem . i do have a couple of questions , though . hello ? stavros ? you 're breaking up . hold on . [ suspenseful music ] xander : oh , what the hell 's going on here ? you try any crap like that again , and i 'll shut you up permanently . and that goes for you too . orpheus : kiddies misbehaving ? xander : i say we throw them in a sack and drown them like kittens . orpheus : well , fortunately , you are not in charge . they 're worth more to us alive than dead . xander : so how 's all this gon na work ? orpheus : you 'll see . [ tense music ] hope : you insist ? aiden : i would just like for us to go somewhere a little more private so we can talk -- hope : aiden , if you have n't noticed , there 's a crisis of major proportion going on in salem . and as district attorney , i 'm sure there 's something far more important you could be doing other than talking to me right now . [ dramatic notes ] aiden : hope ... i 'm just asking for a little of your time so you and i can talk . hope : i said no . i think you should -- rafe : what 's going on ? what ? hope : he wants to talk . like i said , this is n't a good time . [ aiden clears throat ] rafe : see ... i - i thought that we made ourselves clear . did we not ? hope does n't want to have anything to do with you anymore . now , what 's it gon na take for you to get that through your thick skull ? aiden : [ laughs ] i do n't know who you think you 're talking to . but what i need to talk to her about is between she and i , okay ? it 's personal . rafe : oh , is it personal ? i 'll tell you what . i 'm gon na make it personal between me and you if you do n't back the hell off . [ phone rings ] clyde : i 'm about ready to roll on this end , brother . orpheus : good . remember ... do n't make a move until you hear from me . i wan na make sure that the good people of salem get my message , most especially ... my enemies . clyde : yeah , you and me both . i think my message is gon na be a little bit more direct . by the way , my man jeremiah says the raid on the dock was courtesy of the kiriakis camp . orpheus : the old man seems to be losing his touch . from all the gunfire , one would think that kiriakis and his men were convinced they had us cornered ... when , in fact , they were n't even close . huh . well , maybe he 's not in charge any longer . clyde : well , victor was definitely off his game during my time in salem . but i hear that his younger brother deimos has allied with him and ... together they could be a force to be reckoned with . orpheus : [ laughs ] they 'll be dead , you fool . and we 'll be long gone ... before they have a chance to do anything to us . houston : mission allergy escape . rafe : you wan na talk about what was going on between you and aiden ? he was pretty adamant . he needed to talk to you about something . hope : i have no idea . i mean ... no . i have no idea what he wanted to tell me . rafe : all right . hope : i - i do n't get it . he 's relentless . unless , of course , he 's thinking that maybe because i bandaged his hand the other night at the pub , maybe he thinks there 's still something between us ? rafe : [ chuckles ] yeah ... [ mutters ] . you know what i think ? i think that he 's the type of guy who 's gon na take anything , any moment , big or small , and put it under a microscope and try and find something that he can hold on to . hope : yeah . yeah , maybe you 're right . rafe : ohh ... i just ca n't stand that he came back . now you got ta deal with that on top of everything else . hope : thank god i have you , though . rafe : [ softly ] yeah . we should get going . hope . yeah . to be continued ? rafe : oh , yeah . abe : marlena , kayla , look , i 've been at police headquarters all morning , and we still do n't have a lead on where joey and claire might be . i - i 'm sorry . i wish i had better ... better news . the swat team 's arrived . look , i will check in later . steve : what 's taking claire so long to activate that necklace ? john : she 'll find a way . i know my ... granddaughter . what the hell ? steve : what 's wrong ? john : no signal . hell , i do n't even have any bars . marlena : you ca n't get through ? john : i had a signal earlier . i do n't have anything now . damn it . marlena : what if , uh , what if claire 's trying to reach us ? what if she 's tried to get through and she ca n't ? what if she 's made the responder work , but she ca n't reach us ? john : whoa , doc , let 's just hope that 's not the case , okay ? [ suspenseful music ] orpheus : showtime . go and stand behind our guests . and when i give you the cue , remove the gag from claire 's mouth . xander : why ? you wan na let her cry for her grandparents ? orpheus : [ exhales ] use your head , man . if we 're gon na get them to give us a ransom , they 're going to need to hear from one of the kids . it might as well be the one from the family with the most money . xander : what if they give away our location ? orpheus : how on earth would they do that ? [ intense music ] clyde : son of a bitch . he 's the worst of them all . we have speed , mr. mayor . five , four , three , two . abe : good afternoon . i 'm mayor abe carver . these past few days have been harrowing and challenging for the people of salem . three convicted felons have conducted a reign of terror that has sparked panic and , in some cases , violence . xander : `` salem under siege . `` abe : despite the rolling ... xander : i like the sound of that . orpheus : stay tuned , my friend . the best is yet to come . abe : in an effort to inform the public that the salem pd , along with the fbi and the mayor 's office , is doing everything in their power to apprehend these fugitives and to safely free the hostages . now , that having been said , i must address the city - wide looting , vandalism , and vigilante activity . this kind of behavior will not be condoned and tolerated . and anyone engaging in this activity will be arrested and charged ... to the fullest extent of the law . now is not the time to forget who we are as citizens of salem . this is our home . and despite what 's going on , now is the time to remember the pride we all have in our city . [ dramatic flourish ] abe : for your own safety , think before you act . and please adhere to the curfew . and remember , in a situation like this , taking matters into your own hands is not the answer . i know you 've all seen these escaped prisoners on the news . if you see any of these men , please do not ... orpheus : i 've had enough of this wind bag . abe : call 911 - - orpheus : sorry to interrupt your speech , mayor carver , good as it is , but it occurred to me that you and your fellow salemites might like to see us in the flesh . mug shots can be so unflattering , do n't you think ? i am orpheus , part of the trio of terror that has , as your own broadcast suggests , salem under siege . and you 're right , mr. mayor , the good people of salem should be afraid ... very afraid . because we 're not going to stop until we get exactly what we want . now , if you 'll permit me ... what is happening to these two could just as easily be happening to you ... if we do n't get what we want . rafe : find out where the signal is coming from ... now ! [ intense music ] belle : hey , grandma , granddad , please help us ! marlena : oh , dear god . she 's not wearing the necklace . [ dramatic musical buildup ] [ tense music ] rafe : i do n't care how compromised the base station is . find out where that signal is coming from now , damn it ! orpheus : now , i realize christmas is still a few months away ... but i must confess , i 've never been a patient man . so , with the help of my associates , i 've managed to put together what we might call a wish list . $ 20 million will be transferred into an untraceable offshore account of our choosing . we will , of course , be providing you with the routing and the account numbers . when we have received confirmation of the transfer and we are safely out of the country ... then ... and only then will we reveal the whereabouts of the hostages . but i warn you ... if our demands are not met , chaos and terror will continue to spread across salem like a plague . abe : how the hell do you follow that ? aiden : people need reassurance more than ever . abe : yeah . hope : nothing yet ? rafe : no . i 'm still hoping they 're gon na be able to trace the signal . john : what the hell happened to her necklace ? marlena : i pray to god they did n't find it . orpheus : well , that could n't have gone any better . i hope clyde was able to enjoy the festivities . xander : [ exhales ] yiamas !

[ doors creak ] man : whoa . [ exclaiming ] woman : oh , my goodness . [ `` bridal chorus `` plays ] jj : chad . [ gentle music ] abigail : [ laughs ] [ laughter ] real cheese people are ham and swiss people . justin : i 'd like to begin by thanking all of you on behalf of the bride and grooms for being here today . now , i know most of you were expecting to see father louis standing up here to conduct the ceremony , but , unfortunately , he had a family tragedy , and he had to bow out at the last minute . so it is my great pleasure and honor to stand in his place . now , i promise i wo n't veer too far off course , which is why sonny had me put a little cheat sheet on my tablet to avoid doing just that . [ laughter ] but before i do begin speaking as today 's officiant , i would like to just say a few words as a father to one of the grooms and the uncle of the bride . like many of you , we 've all been to our fair share of weddings . but we 've all seen ceremonies where the egos involved sometimes overshadowed the very reason that brought us all together in the first place . but that 's not the case today . that 's not the case for these four extraordinary people , extraordinary friends , who have chosen to share their special day with each other and all of us . their wedding is n't about just them as individuals . it 's a collective celebration of their love for one another , and there 's a lot of love in this room -- not just between the bride and the grooms , but among those of us who are lucky enough to be part of their lives . and i realize that some of us here have had our differences , okay ? some of us have had many differences in the past . [ chuckling ] but , as we gather here today , to bear witness to these two beautiful couples , paul and sonny , chad and abigail , i trust that we can leave any feelings of ill will outside the church . marriage is a sacred institution , not to be entered into lightly or unadvisedly , so i must ask if anyone here can show just cause why either of these couples should not be lawfully joined together , let them speak now or forever hold their peace . [ door opens ] [ ominous music ] julie : oh , uh , sorry . [ laughter ] trouble with the caterers . doug : yes , but it 's all been handled -- we handled it . do n't worry , continue . julie : so yeah , do n't wait for us . doug : keep on going . julie : yeah . [ laughter ] doug : this way , this way . julie : oh , excuse me , sorry , sorry . i 'm so sorry . justin : okay , since no one here has any objections , we 'll move on . our couples have asked a member of their respective families to speak on their behalf today . brady ? brady : [ clears throat ] i was going to talk about love . that 's a -- it 's a wedding . so that 's what you do . you talk about love . i was going to say that when you share your life with someone you love , it 's more meaningful -- it 's better . it 's richer . but the truth is , when you love someone , it can be hard . it can be -- it can be complicated . it can be one of the hardest things that you ever do , but that does n't mean you give up and walk away . because , without love , life is -- life is really not worth the trouble it brings . when we stop loving , we stop living , and when we stop loving , we might as well die . my wish for all of you is this -- no matter how tough things get , and they will get tough , do n't ever give up on each other . do everything you can , no matter who or what gets in your way , to be with the one that you love . [ gentle music ] justin : andre ? andre : i 'm very proud of my brother today . and equally proud of the woman that he 's chosen to be his wife . when i 'm around abigail and chad , i ca n't help but be uplifted by the light that comes from the love that emanates from them . it 's made my heart not so dark . and i 've turned out to be a better man . i 'm quite sure that everyone in this room will agree that history will not be remembering the dimeras for how they loved , but when they write the story of chad and abigail , it 'll be a story of beauty , poignancy -- a story of true love , a passion that is timeless . and so i want to say to them , to wish them a very well - deserved happily ever after . [ gentle music ] oh , sorry , sorry , to paul and sonny , um ... abigail : [ laughs ] andre : much happiness to you as well . [ laughter ] [ gentle music ] justin : maggie ? bonnie : they asked maggie to talk about love ? mickey must be turning over in his grave . victor : what did you say ? bonnie : i said this part is my fav -- all the speeches . maggie : today is all about second chances . i know a little bit about those . we are told to take it one day at a time , that tomorrow was never a guarantee and that yesterdays is not worth that much either . we only have today , this very moment . you 've all been given a second chance at love , and that opportunity -- it 's so rare and so precious . sonny , paul , abigail , and chad , i have faith that you will take one day at a time . take each and every moment as a new opportunity to love each other better and to take this second chance and to make it count . i hope and pray that today that your love -- it 'll be a reminder to all of us to take that chance too . [ gentle music ] my mom 's pain from justin : before paul and sonny and chad and abigail exchange rings , they have chosen to share the vows that they 've written to each today . paul ? paul : ever since i was four years old , i knew what i wanted to be . i could throw a baseball faster and ironically straighter than ... [ laughter ] than any kid twice my age . it made me different . and , um , it 's just about as different as these -- these feelings that i started having a few years later . so i used the first thing that made me different to cover up the second . i hid behind it . i could stand on a little mound of dirt in front of 75,000 screaming people , and everywhere i went , they all knew who i was . i was paul narita , all - star pitcher . i was respected and admired , but me -- i could n't even look at myself in the mirror . um , my grandfather and my mother , they could n't be here today , but they raised me together , and i like to think they did a damn good job of it . hi , mom . [ speaks japanese ] um , my mother and my grandfather -- they 're japanese , obviously . [ laughter ] uh , and the reason i tell you that is because , well , the japanese , they do n't have a word that means `` identity , `` which , for a good part of my life , i was trying to find for myself , and for that portion , i could n't find out who that was . i did n't really know who i was until i met you , sonny . and when i first saw you , i saw someone who was brave , was funny . [ chuckling ] who was honest and true to himself and what was in his heart , and , as i got to know this man , i saw something else 'cause all those feelings that i 'd had , those feelings that i 'd been hiding -- they were n't wrong . and , um , it was through our friendship , and then , later , my love for you that i was able , for the first time in my life to look in that mirror and see who i really was . when i was four years old , i knew what i wanted to do , but it was only until very recently that i found out who i wanted to be . i want to be the man who spends the rest of his life with you , sonny kiriakis . [ gentle music ] [ gentle music ] sonny : it 's true that i was able to see who you were before you could -- or , before you could admit it , but you were the one who saw how good we could be together , and that was before i had any clue at all . and now we 're standing here , paul , in front of the most important people in our lives , and they all know and you know that i have been in love before . and i lost that love . and , for a while , i was lost , and i did n't want to be found by anyone . you helped me find my way back from a broken heart . you showed me that i could love again , and i 'm so happy that it 's you that i fell in love with . and as we begin this journey again , i know that no matter which direction i turn , you are gon na be there for me like you 've always been . and paul , i want you to know , from the bottom of my heart , there is not another living soul on this planet that i would rather be standing here with than you . chad : great , yeah , i 'm gon na follow -- i 'm gon na , okay , i 'm gon na follow that . [ laughter ] abigail : you want me to go first ? chad : uh , yeah , that 'd be -- abigail : let you off the hook , okay . chad : deal . can you hold that , please ? justin : i 'll hold that .

belle : mimi , i do n't believe in abortion . you know that . mimi : god , belle , do you think i really want to do this ? i do n't have a choice . belle : that 's not true . mimi : belle , if i have this baby , i wo n't have a future . look , i was -- i was in the hospital nursery yesterday , holding and rocking all the newborns . and there was this one little baby with the sweetest little face you 've ever seen . she was so helpless and -- and totally dependent . and then this young girl walked in and came over to me . her name is lori jean . she was the baby 's mother . she named her ariana . is n't that a pretty name ? anyway , lori jean told me that when her boyfriend found out she was pregnant , he freaked , said he was n't ready , and thought she was trying to trick him into marriage . he told her to get an abortion , but she refused . so he left her . he never called her again , never even asked how she was doing or when the baby was due . and now she 's all alone . belle : but she wo n't be forever . mimi : how do you know that ? belle , she always wanted to go to college . she said she wanted to have a career . belle : well , she still can . mimi : how ? belle : if she wants it badly enough . mimi : of course she wants it , belle . do n't you understand ? she has a kid to take care of now , okay ? her whole life is ruined . everything she hoped and dreamed of will never happen . belle : well , i do n't believe that . i mean , i still think all of her dreams can come true . mimi : then you 're out of your mind . belle : she has her child -- a beautiful baby girl . you said so yourself . just like your mom had you and your brothers . mimi : what difference does it make how beautiful the baby is ? what kind of life is she going to have ? that 's the question . belle : a life full of love , because her mother sacrificed everything for her . just like you . so , what , you did n't grow up with the fanciest clothes and a lot of money , but ... you are the happiest person i know . and the nicest . my life would be completely different if you were n't in it . and rex 's -- mimi : do n't do this to me , belle , okay ? yeah , i 'm glad i was born , okay ? but why do n't you ask my mom how she feels about it ? belle : your mom is glad you were born . mimi : but look at everything she gave up for us . i do n't think she ever lets us forget it . belle : but you would n't do that . you would n't feel that way . mimi : how do you know ? belle : because you are completely different than your mom . mimi : i 'm just -- i 'm not ready to be a mom . i just ca n't -- i ca n't face the responsibility . i ca n't face it alone . belle : you are not alone . you have me , you have rex , all your friends and family . you 've always wanted kids . mimi : and i can still have them . later , when i 'm ready . belle : you do n't know that for sure . mimi : i ca n't have kids this way , belle . this is not the future i dreamed about , okay ? you remember . wedding -- you as my maid of honor -- travel around the world , and then a couple of years later , if i 'm ready , settle down and start a family . belle : you can still get married , mimi . you love rex . mimi : and in my dreams , i was n't working two crummy waitressing jobs , either . how am i gon na keep that up when the baby comes ? not like we can afford daycare . not like we have insurance . when you hear about people having to make this kind of decision all the time , but you can never really understand what they 're going through or how they can do it until it happens to you . i want my baby to have a good life , belle . i do n't want to bring it into a family who resents it and that ca n't give it everything it needs or wants . belle : love is really all that matters . mimi : no offense , belle , but you did grow up with everything . so it 's pretty much impossible for you to understand . you know that saying about walking a mile in someone else 's shoes ? well , i have , and i 've decided to get an abortion . and i understand why you ca n't come with me , but all you have to do is respect my privacy and just not tell rex . promise me you wo n't tell him .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : all you and billie do is criticize me . bo : i 'm sorry if it seems that way . chelsea : you do n't like the way i dress . you do n't like who i go out with . you do n't like the way i drive . bo : we want you to be safe because we care about you . chelsea : you do n't even know me . i just found out that you and billie were my birth parents . we have no history . and to have you guys suddenly be up in my face all the time , it 's just too much . bo : yeah , well , this is quite an adjustment for all of us involved . and , yes , you 're not a kid anymore . but even though you 're 18 , it does n't mean you ca n't use a little guidance every now and then . chelsea : i guess . bo : okay . so , why do n't you tell me what you and billie were talking about when you got upset and jumped in the car and sped off ? chelsea : we were talking about what sami said to me at her wedding , or her non - wedding . bo : what did she say ? chelsea : she called me a whore . bo : she actually said that ? chelsea : and she also said that i was following the family tradition , because billie and grandma kate were both whores , too . bo : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry you had to hear that . but you 've been around enough to know that sami 's in no position to judge anyone . chelsea : except she was right . grandma kate and billie were both ... you know . billie admitted it . bo : must have been quite a shock to hear something like that . chelsea : well , yeah . bo : chelsea ... chelsea : anyway , after billie told me about her and grandma kate 's wonderful past , i started thinking . maybe it does run in the family . bo : no , that 's not -- look , you 're gon na make mistakes . we all make them .. but they 'll be your own mistakes . it 's good that billie told you . i mean , it 's good that you first heard it from her . chelsea : except i did n't . sami told me first . and if she had n't , i bet you billie never would have even said a word . bo : no , no . i 'm sure she would have preferred to tell you in her own time and space , but she would n't have kept it from you . listen , billie did a lot of things when she was young that she 's not proud of , but she 's a good person , and she 's worked very hard to become the woman that she is now . and she does n't want you to make the same mistakes she 's made . she 's trying to protect you . chelsea : i do n't need protecting . bo : you might not think you do , but -- chelsea : i need billie to stop butting in my life . [ scene_break ] kate : look in the mirror . just look in the mirror . look at yourself . you are one mean , vindictive creature who hurts everyone you come in contact with . sami : oh , you 're so full of it . kate : am i ? what about chelsea ? how many times have you talked to chelsea ? what , once ? and still you found reason to call her a whore . a young girl -- you do n't even know her . but because she 's my grandchild , you have to find a reason to hurt her . are you proud of yourself ? sami : i feel sorry for her . she 's a brady , so she could have had a chance , except for that she 's related to you . so you 're probably gon na ruin her life , just like you have lucas and will . kate : oh , well , lucas is gon na have every chance at happiness . believe me . once he gets over you , he 's gon na find a woman worthy of his love . sami : his getting over me is n't gon na be as easy as you might think . kate : we 'll see about that . sami : what are you gon na do , kate -- buy him another $ 5-million bride ? but if you spend a little more money , you might get a woman that you think is worthy of him . we all know how that deal with nicole worked out , do n't we , kate ? every time you think you 're helping him , all you do is hurt him . i was good for lucas . and he was good for me . damn you , listen to me ! you listen to me ! our love was the real thing , kate . it was the real deal . kate : [ scoffs ] you really are crazy , are n't you ? crazy . you and nicole were the worst things that ever happened to lucas or austin . and if either one of you ever , ever tries to get near them again , i swear to you , i -- sami : what ? you 'll do what ? kate : you know something ? i 'm not gon na have to do anything , because there is no way in hell that either of them would ever have anything to do with you or nicole . [ scene_break ] nicole : [ chuckles ] so , is this what you do -- cheer up down - on - their - luck women ? austin : well , if you 're feeling better , i 'm glad . but maybe i needed cheering up , too . nicole : what ? do n't tell me you 're down on your luck , too . austin : no , no , but i do n't get out much . my social life has been very quiet . nicole : get out ! that is not the austin i remember . austin : people change . i 've become quite a workaholic . nicole : wow , you have changed . austin : that 's what i 'm telling you . nicole : yeah . i do n't -- i still ca n't believe it . you must have a bunch of women waiting for you in new york . austin : well , i 'm not saying i live like a monk . i got out , but , you know ... you know , just no one special . nicole : why not ? i mean , new york 's filled with the most beautiful women in the world . austin : no question . trouble is , i left my heart here in salem .

'cause he was telling me about chloe and how he wants to marry her a.s.a.p . sami : and i do n't understand it , but frankly i do n't care . rafe : well , yeah , because i was totally inspired by it . the fact of the matter is , i want to marry you as soon as i possibly can .

will : all i 'm saying is you should have told me about this , and you did n't , sonny . that 's on you . sonny : you do not get to come here and start bitching to me . will : i 'm not . sonny : after everything that i 've put up with from you . will : excuse me . what exactly are talking about ? what have you been putting up with from me ? sonny : really ? really ? i hope you have nowhere to go real soon , because this might take some time . will : well , it 's nice to know you 're making a list of everything that 's wrong with me . i 'm sure that took years . sonny : no , will , you are frickin ' perfect . will : i 'm not saying that i 'm perfect ! i 'm saying this is about -- ej : i thought you two were a little bit more mature than this ... though , i suppose , clearly i was wrong . kate : hi . gabi : oh , kate , hi . kate : are you waiting to see rafe ? gabi : yeah , but he 's with his physical therapist . kate : when is n't he ? [ chuckles ] gabi : i know . you came to see him too ? kate : um , no . i have a board meeting , actually . your brother has made it pretty clear he does n't want me hovering . gabi : mm . have you made it clear how you feel about him ? jordan : all right . the orderly will be here any minute to help you back into bed . you did good with the leg lifts today . i think we 'll try putting ten- pound weights on your ankles tomorrow . i guess i 'll go see what 's keeping the orderly . okay , enough with the silent treatment . what 's bugging you ? nicole : uh - oh . do n't tell me jj and jennifer are driving you to drink during the day . daniel : no , no , just coffee . nicole : what 's going on ? daniel : you know what ? ask jennifer . i 'm staying out of it . nicole : that 's probably a good move . daniel : yeah , i guess . nicole : listen , um , i 'm glad i ran into you . there 's , um ... something else i 'd like to talk to you about . daniel : all right . what 's up ? nicole : it 's eric . can you just tell me how he 's doing ? brady : it still hurts me to know how you preyed upon me ... and that i was attacked to further your plan . i mean , even with all the love in the world , how do you trust someone after that ? how do you move on with someone , knowing that they wanted to harm you ? you all right ? what is wrong with you ? eric : no , i 'm fine . it 's just that i - i remembered something i forgot to do , so ... i wo n't be long . [ door closes ] brady : are you buying that ? he did n't look fine at all . daniel : why are you hitting me up for information ? if you want to know what 's going on with eric , just ask eric . nicole : i ca n't , okay ? daniel : wait . did he tell you he ca n't talk about it ? nicole : no . daniel : no ? really ? 'cause the nicole i know would n't stop until she got him to open up . nicole : right . and that same nicole knows when to cut her losses . eric : i was so close ... so close that i lost it again . [ sighs ] brady : i 'm gon na go find him . kristen : eric 's gon na be just fine . brady : hey , what -- hold on a send kristen : look , i need -- please , i need to know what you were getting at before he left , because it sounded to me like you were saying that all the efforts we made to try to work things out was just nothing . is that what you were saying ? brady : what are you -- [ door opens ] brady : hey . what 's going on ? are you okay ? eric : yes , i am now . brady : well , you -- y - you 're still really pale . eric : oh , well , i 'm fine . like i said , i ... i just needed a moment alone . brady : what , did i get too intense for you or ... ? eric : oh , no , it was n't that . i just ... i apologize . brady : for what ? eric : for abruptly leaving like that and walking in without even knocking . brady : eric , you -- forget about that . it 's -- it 's not a big deal . but seriously , what just happened there ? eric : i 'm not sure . it was , uh ... kristen : why are you looking at me like that ? eric : i 'm sorry . i ... i did n't realize . i was just ... something struck me . ej : now , if you two want to go and have a fight , that 's fine , but you do not do it in front of her . sonny : we were arguing for about two minutes . i think she 's gon na be just fine . ej : what 's wrong with the two of you , hmm ? you guys usually put on such a united front . will : nick is sleeping with gabi , and genius here did not tell me about it . ej : you kept that from william ? why would you do something like that , after the way nick 's behaved ? sonny : yeah , that 's me . i lie about important stuff just for the hell of it . will : i know -- why did you do it , then ? sonny : because she said if i told you about her and nick , she was gon na move out and take the baby . will : no . sonny : now , since you two seem to know everything , what would you do in that situation ? kate : gabi , you know that i care about you . but i am not in the habit of being lectured about my emotions from twentysomethings . gabi : you said you and rafe broke up right before that guy put him in the hospital , right ? kate : yes , that 's true . why are we having this conversation ? gabi : well , because he 's been here for weeks , and you just keep checking up on him , and i know it 's because you still care . kate : of course i care . he was almost beaten to death . he still ca n't walk , gabi . gabi : i think it 's more than that . and if you think that it 's weird to hear this from someone like me , think about how scary it is for someone like me to say it to someone like you . kate : okay , then why are you doing it ? gabi : because my brother is the greatest guy on earth , but he 's still a guy . kate : believe me , i 've noticed . gabi : look , he can explain and infield - fly rule so that a two - year - old can understand it . but when it comes to talking about his feelings , he 's pretty clueless . kate : you know , i never really thought -- i thought it was about him being clueless . i thought it was more that he did n't like to talk things to death . and i - i really like that in a man . gabi : okay , well , maybe that 's why you two were so happy when you were together . kate : if we looked happy , it 's because we were happy . gabi : okay . is rafe happy with the way things are now ? kate : i do n't know . gabi : that 's my point . rafe : jordan , i 'm beat , all right ? you worked me ass off today . nothing 's bugging me . jordan : well , you worked hard and made real progress . i guess i thought you 'd be happier . rafe : happier ? okay . listen , i used to bench - press 250 pounds . you expect me to be happy because i 'm lifting my leg six inches off the floor ? jordan : that 's a huge achievement . rafe : wow . do you realize that 's the first truly encouraging thing you may have said to me ? jordan : i 'm a physical therapist , not a cheerleader . and this should n't be about me . it 's supposed to be about you wanting to be the man you used to be . rafe : well , okay . well , then i guess that 's the mistake that i 've made , because i thought you were supposed to be some sort of coach , and , uh ... well , all the coaches i had , the good ones anyway , um , they always let me know what they were thinking . i do n't know what you 're thinking ... not at all . jordan : i - i 'm thinking that you 're doing an amazing job ... rafe : yeah ? jordan : and that i 'm really happy about that . rafe : really happy ? that is what you said ? jordan : trust me . rafe : huh . well , how about that ? first a little joke , then an admission of feelings ... maybe she 's not a robot after all . daniel : okay , let me get this straight . you want to know how eric 's doing , but yet you refuse to ask yourself ? nicole : [ chuckles awkwardly ] it 's not that i refuse . look , can we not do this little dance ? ca n't you just tell me what i want to know ? ugh , forget it . that 's what i get for caring about someone . daniel : ah , you care ... just not enough to go talk to the guy , which i really do n't get . nicole : even if i explained it to you , i still do n't think you 'd get it . daniel : maybe i do . kristen : could you please be more specific ? i mean , exactly what were you struck by ? eric : it was what you were saying . kristen : yeah , i was struck by that too , but i think in an entirely different way . brady : wait . why are you upset ? kristen : should n't i be ? i mean , obviously we 've upset father eric . he 's uncomfortable . i find this whole situation to be very fraught and very difficult . and -- and it 's overwhelming . okay , i 'm overwhelmed . and i 'm sorry we wasted your time . brady : kristen , please -- come on , sit down . kristen : no , i do n't want to sit down . brady : it 's important . sit down , please . please . kristen : what ? brady : i know this is difficult , all right ? it is for everybody . t it 's also important for us and our future . you know that , and i know that . so , yes , we are gon na waste some more of eric 's time , because i 'm not done . i was asking how you get past someone saying `` i love you `` to your face and then planning to stab you in the back . kristen : yeah , i remember . i remember that . brady : well , i can answer my own question . see , i really thought about it . and , uh , why would you have cared about me in the beginning ? why would n't you use me as a pawn in your little revenge game ? because i had an agenda too . it was a hateful one . i wanted her gone . i wanted her out of everyone 's life . then i got to know her . she made me laugh . and she made me feel alive again . i forgot about my agenda ... 'cause i fell in love with you ... just like you did ... with me . i - i think it happened to me sooner than it did for you , but the process was the same . but i was so screwed up at the time that i did n't think that her being in love with me could be more important than getting even . she begged me for understanding . she opened her heart to me . she tried to tell me how she felt . and i was n't about to listen . i shut you out . all i 'm trying to say is , kristen ... you deserve much better . will : okay , i 'm a -- i 'm a jackass . sonny : yeah , you are a jackass . will : i 'm sorry . i should 've known that you would n't keep anything from me without a good reason . so ... i 'm sorry . can she do that , by the way ? can she take , um ... can she take her and just leave ? ej : there 's not a law that says she has to live with the father of her child . will : okay , okay . this is what i 've been saying . nick is doing it again . sonny : just relax . will : he 's controlling her again . sonny : he 's not doing that . i figured out what she was doing , and i called her on it , okay ? she probably just said the first thing that came to her mind . will : did she take it back ? no ? no , she did n't , so ... sonny : well , what did she say when you walked in on them ? will : she did n't say anything , because i almost killed him . sonny : so she did n't say she was gon na leave with the baby ? will : not to me , but she said it to you . sonny : she said it to me 'cause she wanted me to be quiet and not tell you . i 'm sure she did n't mean it . ej : that seems like a pretty generous interpretation of her motives . will : yeah , i think -- i think too generous . sonny : i 'm just -- i 'm trying to see it from her point of view , is what i 'm doing . will : why ? sonny : because she is a new mom , and she 's trying to finish school . and the brother she 's counting on is laid up in the hospital , okay ? and the two people who should be there for her , us , are too busy doing other things , and we 're not pitching in . ej : do you think that she 's feeling isolated , sonny ? sonny : i think she 's feeling lonely , is what i think . and i think she was thinking , remembering the last time she cared about someone , and boom . nick 's on her doorstep , and that 's who she turned to . will : the only problem with that , sonny , is that the person that she 's turning to is a nutjob . kate : i 'm only gon na stay a few minutes because , actually , i have a board meeting , but , um , i thought maybe we could talk . rafe : you do n't ever need an excuse to come see me , you know . kate : i know that . now , you are in a good mood . did therapy go well ? rafe : eh , you know . but , uh ... well , i guess i 'm not taking things for granted like i used to , you know ... like being able to lift my legs . so now that i can do that again , it 's a real high . kate : well , that 's wonderful . rafe : yeah , well , jordan says it 's the first step toward me actually walking again . kate : so she 's encouraging . rafe : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , she actually said she was happy for me , if you can believe that . kate : [ laughs ] yeah , she 's been so businesslike . rafe : yeah . no , she 's starting to change . i actually think i 'm starting to get through to the woman . nicole : and just what do you think you get ? daniel : you want to know if eric 's all right because you are ready to move on . nicole : ca n't put anything past you , can i ? daniel : yeah , sharp as a bowling ball , this one right here . i do n't know . it just seems like it 's been a really good healing time for you , working with eric . nicole : i guess you could say that , yeah . daniel : but also a retreat from the real world . nicole : the real world did n't exactly seem like a friendly place . daniel : okay , this ca n't be easy for you . i mean , eric has been a really good mentor to you . nicole : you have no idea . [ chuckles ] daniel : what ? wait . what is this ? nicole : it 's a business card from a tv producer . he said i could have my job back whenever i wanted . i just did n't think anyone in the tv world would give me a second chance , and ... what ? what ? daniel : nothing . i am happy for you . nicole : all right , do n't play me . seriously , do you ... do you think that i 'm deserting eric in his hour of need ? daniel : no . but i 'm a little worried about you . brady : so how do you get over the feeling of being betrayed ? you have to ask yourself -- is the misery of the past more important than the happiness of the present ? in my humble opinion ... you need to learn to let things go ... 'cause that 's a lot easier than trying to live life without the person you love . i will do anything , whatever it takes , to not lose this woman . i love you that much . i love you so much . you are my love . you are my soul mate . and i thank god for you every day . [ breathes deeply ] and that 's all i got . how 'd i do ? kristen : you really meant all of that ?

i mean , you , standard - bearer for truth , justice and the american way . samantha and i could barely stand to listen to it . it must 've been humiliating for you too , though , i would imagine ... though probably not as humiliating as being stuck in this bed day after day ... like an impotent little child . nicole : hey . eric : hey , nicole . hey , come in , please . i 'm glad you 're here . nicole : great . why ?

lani : i did n't think i 'd spend my first day searching for a murder suspect . rafe : oh , yeah ? they had you out looking for dimera , did they ? lani : me and half the department . i 'm sorry we did n't have any luck . rafe : last seen at the docks . he could be long gone by now . andre : no need to open with vulgarities , mr. jennings . after all , this is a business meeting . aiden : uh , yeah , but i do n't have any business with you . andre : no , i 'm handling all of mr. dimera 's affairs while he 's recovering from his heart attack . aiden : we kept this between us for good reason . stefano : listen , and behave . aiden : someone bought up all my debt . andre : you had debts that could be bought ? how sloppy of you . aiden : why did you do it ? andre : because i listen to and obey mr. dimera . be a lesson you 'd do well -- well for you to learn . also , we want to ease your burden . aiden : hmm . so you found cooper . andre : and wolaski . stokes , palacci . and one bobby shakes . that was all of them , was n't it ? oh , no , no , there was one more . no , jimmy gorgeous . uses a beauty salon as a front for his loan sharking . god , you just made so many fascinating friends since you have arrived in salem . aiden : you , uh -- andre : no . we bought your debts . every last one . we own you , mr. jennings . aiden : i will pay you back . andre : oh , of course you will . and you will do exactly as you 're told for as long as we need you . maggie : you have a lot of faith in rafe . hope : yeah , because he 's a great cop . he was in the field for the fbi for years before we ever had him at the salem pd . but you know what , it 's not just the experience . i mean , rafe has the best instincts i 've seen in a cop since -- let 's just say a very long time . maggie : hmm . he 's been off the force for a while . hope : sounds like someone 's making an awful lot of noise at the kiriakis dinner table . maggie : justin ... hope : mm - hmm . maggie : he 's excited about his job , and he 's prosecuting this case . hope : which is why we want to make sure we prosecute the right guy . maggie : listen , i 'm with you , hope . i just pray that we find him soon . hope : okay , i 've been pulling really long hours , but rafe , i do n't think he 's been home for more than an hour since we found serena mason 's body . maggie : so do you think that he has a lot to prove ? hope : people make him feel like that . definitely . roman , he was n't exactly happy to put him back on the force . and justin , you 've clearly heard him . they 've been butting heads . maggie : hmm . you think they may have a point ?

lani : i 'm sure you 've thought of anything i can see . rafe : price , please , do n't hold back . anything could be a help . lani : well , the two crime scenes seem almost staged , as if the killer was intentionally trying to make them look identical . also , the murder weapons , the time the murders occurred -- it 's my impression that our killer wanted everyone to think that he or she was repeating a pattern . rafe : you 're good at reading a scene . you looking for a shield ? lani : i ca n't take the detective exam yet , but that 's the next step . as soon as i 'm allowed . rafe : next step ? lani : who knows what comes after that ? every option is open to me . rafe : sky 's the limit , huh ?

pedro : yes , um , your gentleman let me in . i 'm looking for victor kiriakis . doctor pedro salinas . maggie : nice to meet you . um , is victor expecting you ? pedro : well , he flew me in from peru . he said it was an emergency . maggie : dr. salinas , ah . from peru . pedro : yes . where can i find mr. kiriakis ?

marlena : mm - hmm . i mean , i have n't -- have n't been sleeping too well since the attack , but it gets better every day . yeah , i 'm seeing somebody about that . rafe : oh , good . that 's good . so -- marlena : i do n't think that i ever thanked you for what you did for me . rafe : oh , no , you did . you did . marlena : no . i truly believe you saved my life . rafe : yeah , well , i 'm just disappointed that i was n't able to catch the guy red - handed . marlena : yeah , i know . rafe : so , if you 're up for this , i would really love to hear what kind of profile you 've put together on the killer . or shall i say , on chad . marlena : well , you know what ? let 's , um , let 's keep this -- rafe : impersonal ? marlena : no . professional . rafe : marlena , are you worried about violating privilege ? because you are aware of the fact that if a client attacks you , you 're no longer bound -- marlena : no , no , i do understand that . i understand my rights , thanks . rafe : okay . so that 's not it . tell me what 's bothering you . marlena : it does n't make any sense . rafe : yeah ? marlena : well , that chad would come to me for help . and then that he would try to kill me . chad : hey , hey , hey , hey . hey , do you remember me ? andre : so , father , is there -- is there anything i can get you ? stefano : well , there is one thing i could use . i need to rest . andre : i 'll get harold to make up your room . stefano : you know something ? i am so glad that you are home . andre : so am i . stefano : yeah . andre : i do n't want you to worry , father . nobody knows that i 'm in salem . but eventually they 'll have to know that i am alive . stefano : ah - ha . but not yet . andre : no . not if we can help it . aiden : ugh ! ciara : nice ! chase : yes ! andre : we bought your debts . every last one . we own you , mr. jennings . you 'll do exactly as you 're told for as long as we need you . ciara : i own that property , mr. jennings . aiden : what ? chase : you owe her for landing on her property . and you have to pay me rent too . aiden : what ? and you both look so innocent . ciara : and rich . aiden : hmm . chase : pleasure doing business with you . aiden : oh , you think ? you wiped me out . ugh . hope : do you know what this is about ? maggie : yeah , i do . victor . victor : it 's a little hectic right now , maggie . maggie : dr. salinas has arrived from peru . victor : oh , thank god . maggie : is n't he the one you told me about ? victor : yes , and he 's just in time . um , listen , tell the good doctor to sit tight , and tell henderson to feed him and then we 'll meet him later at the hospital . maggie : is that where you are now ? victor : no , we 're -- we 're going there . we 're taking caroline . maggie : oh , no . um , i - i can join you right now . hope is here too . victor : oh , good . bring her along . caroline needs all the people that she loves near her now . rafe : so you do n't think that chad 's guilty . marlena : it just does n't make any sense . rafe : okay , so he came to you for counseling ? maybe hypnosis to try and recover his memory ? marlena : hypothetically . rafe : he 's trying to come up with an alibi . marlena : i told him that it would take weeks , and any number of sessions and we could still not come up with the right answer . we could still come up empty - handed . rafe : it would 've been easier for him to buy an alibi than that . marlena : i know . but he really wanted to know exactly what happened . rafe : yeah , fair enough . but that does n't mean that he 's not necessarily the killer . in fact , that could explain how he could be the guy . maybe he just snapped and does n't remember . marlena : not with that crime scene . the person that committed those murders did not do it in a dissociative state . rafe : how solid are you on that ? marlena : as solid as i can be without hearing a confession . rafe : okay ... so then how do you explain chad attacking you ? marlena : i - i do n't know . i just -- i saw him standing there in my office , but it still does n't make any sense to me . rafe : okay . well , anyway , that releases you as his doctor , so help me find chad . what did chad remember under hypnosis ? marlena : he went back to when serena was killed . he remembers having a fight with somebody at the time of the killing . let go , man ! chad : hey , hey , look , i do n't -- i do n't want to fight . i was here the other night . do you remember me ? i have an appointment . chad : okay , okay , here . look , it wo n't take long . here . here , all right ? you can take a cab . all right , so you wo n't be late . what do you want to know ? chad : okay , the other night , do you remember me ? yeah . yeah , i remember you . chad : yeah ? hope : oh . hi . caroline , hi . kayla : um , i 'm gon na go get her settled . maggie : we 'll see you in a bit , okay ? hope : she did n't know me , did she ? julie : no , she did n't . victor : 50/50 . maggie : how long has she been like that ? julie : i have no idea . the other day , when the three of us were at the mansion , she was not herself . remember ? maggie : yeah . julie : but today when i got there , she was having an argument with shawn as though he was alive and in the room . hope : oh , god . maggie : well , dr . salinas is ready to come over whenever you call . hope : who is this , victor ? victor : salinas has been doing some research on caroline 's condition . cutting edge stuff . he 's developed an experimental protocol that he 's had some success with . julie : a treatment ? you mean a cure ? victor : with any luck , it could be caroline 's ticket out of here . ciara : they found paige in the shower . she 'd pulled down part of her shower curtain . chase : trying to get away ? aiden : hey , hey , hey , guys . let 's not talk about this , okay ? chase : everyone at school is . aiden : really ? ciara : yeah . there 's a serial killer on the loose . aiden : hey , listen , listen . you got your mom , rafe , your uncle roman . they 're -- they 're gon na catch this guy , okay ? so no one has anything to worry about , okay ? ciara : but what if they do n't ? chad : what do you remember about me ? you were wasted . chad : yeah , yeah , i was . yeah , i just wanted to know the time , and you freaked out on me . chad : yes , yeah , you reached for my watch . to see the time , that 's all ! chad : right , right . okay , i 'm sorry . it was a rough night . morning . it was 2 : 35 in the morning . chad : how do you know that ? because you freaked when i asked for the time . chad : you 're right , i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . okay , how about this ? i want to make amends for freaking out , yeah ? maybe we can help each other out . yeah ? chad : okay , here . tell you what , since knowing the time is so important , why do n't you , uh -- why do n't you go buy a watch of your own ? okay , but first i need you to -- i need you to take a ride with me . i need you to tell some guys what you remember about the other morning . okay ? i need you to tell them all that you remember me , about the fight , right , the time , okay ? all of it . where do you want to go ? chad : just to the police station . woman : my mom and i have the same hands . hope : wait a minute . this doctor 's on trial treatment ? victor : we 'll , uh , we 'll let him explain it . hope : in other words , you do n't know . maggie : are we sure that this is safe ? hope : you ca n't know that without clinical trials . victor : there 's no time for that . caroline is going downhill fast . she has to get her treatment started right away . julie : he 's right . maggie : how can you say that ? julie : because i saw her . victor : this is caroline 's only hope right now . and the benefits far outweigh the risks . kayla : you want to try an experimental treatment on my mother ? over my dead body . rafe : if not chad , then who else ? who would want to hurt these women ? who would want to frame chad ? chad : it 's okay , it 's not far . i 'm gon na have a car -- no way in hell i 'm going to the police station ! chad : okay , okay , listen , dude , you 're not in trouble , all right ? not at all , i promise . nothing 's gon na happen to you . you 're damn right it wo n't because i 'm not going . no cops ! chad : no , but -- aiden : you really think your mom is gon na let a serial killer get away ? she 's a good cop , is n't she ? ciara : yeah . she 's like a ninja cop . aiden : right ? ciara : wait , but what if -- aiden : but no , no , no . no `` buts , `` all right ? chase : say it . she 'll just think it really hard , anyway . aiden : what ? ciara : what if before the cops catch him , the psycho kills someone else ? aiden : no , no , no . listen to me , sweetheart , listen , listen , listen . you are safe , okay ? this family , our family ... you 're safe . and that 's not just your mom 's job . it 's my job too now , okay ? i 'm gon na tell you something . nothing is gon na happen to any of us , okay ? come here , come here , come here . it 's gon na be okay . it 's gon na be okay . | rafe and lani talked about the murders . lani thought the killer was trying to make the killings look identical . aiden found out that andre and stefano paid off his debts . aiden thought he could tell hope everything and have nothing to lose . andre reminded aiden about chase . kayla and victor talked about caroline 's health . kayla was ready to prepare for the worst . victor wanted to fight for caroline . caroline was determined not to die yet . caroline saw shawn 's face in the mirror and let him know that she was n't going to die because her family needed her . julie heard caroline talking to the mirror at the martin house . julie called kayla to tell her about caroline . kayla and victor went to find caroline . aiden told andre and stefano that he wanted to pay them back by being chad 's lawyer . andre did n't want aiden to represent chad . chad snuck out of the shed and talked to a homeless person about seeing a `` friend `` of his . |

without any sort of warning , he just -- okay , just -- just wait . just -- abe testified that there had been an anonymous tip . obviously , that was because of stefano . and they only found that razor in bernardi 's girlfriend 's apartment ... because you had to make a deal with that bastard . ej : it was that , or you went to prison for the rest of your life , samantha . i did n't have a choice . sami : so he got his house back . what else did you have to give him ?

[ chuckles ] was -- was ridgeway your married name or something ? jordan : no , i was never married , but , um ... well , it 's complicated why we have different names . but anyway , we are related . chad : good . okay . family is really important . did ben come to salem because you were here ? jordan : yeah . we decided it would be better to stay closer . chad : i bet you 're a great sister . jordan : i try to look out for ben . chad : and you heard about the run - in that we had ? listen , i am really sorry for that . i 'm an ass . chalk it up to a tough reentry . i hope you and ben wo n't hold it against me . jordan : he 's very understanding . take care . chad : hey , uh ... what about you ? do you understand , or is this a thing now ? i mean , i just got back to salem . i thought i had this great new friend . i hope i did n't screw that up . jordan : no , you did n't . chad : [ clicking tongue ] rafe : how can it be about jordan ? kate : because clyde is jordan 's stepfather . rafe : i live by my instincts , okay ? that 's how i survive . and there is something that is definitely wrong with that guy . kate : what , because his stepdaughter does n't like him ? that 's not uncommon , rafe . rafe : no , it 's not just dislike . jordan ran away from him . she lived under different identities to hide from him . kate : okay , and now he 's found her , and guess what . the sky did n't fall . rafe : [ groans ] kate : okay ? i mean , is there even a possibility here that maybe jordan is exaggerating ? maybe she misjudged the `` threat . `` i do n't know . you know , all i can say is that clyde has been really open about the fact that he made mistakes with his kids , and he 's in town to make amends . rafe : i know that 's the story . kate : really ? so do you have evidence that would contradict that , detective , or is this just your gut instinct ? you know , because , actually , he has only nice things to say about you . rafe : [ scoffs ] kate : no , he 's hoping that you and jordan work things out . rafe : yeah , right . yeah . so he says . kate : [ laughs ] you just wo n't let this go . rafe : no . kate : what , are you jealous ? jeremiah : you know what you 're taking on ? clyde : i am not leaving all that money on the table . jeremiah : you 're gon na take on the whole dimera family ? clyde : wo n't be the whole family , just ej . jeremiah : now , how do you figure that ? clyde : the man 's on his own . there 's all kinds of shenanigans going on with their legitimate businesses . there are rifts in the family . jeremiah : you 're sure . clyde : oh , yeah . i 'm gon na deal with that arrogant s.o.b . myself . sami : it 's been a hell of a day , huh ? ej : quite . sami : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] kids are n't even home from school , and already your mother descended on us from england , going on and on about how evil was all around you . and we had to do business over my grandmother 's clam chowder today . [ both laughing ] and then i come home , and your sister 's here throwing her garbage at me . ej : yeah , i 'm sorry . sami : no . what ? no . you do n't have to say that . it could just as easily have been my family attacking you for who knows what . ej : yeah , but you have to admit , my family does bring a rather elevated level of crazy and potentially lethal force to the party . sami : i 'll give you that . it 's not too late . is it ? i mean , we could elope and just never come back . ej : i have aliases . sami : no . i - i turned them all in to the police when i had you busted . ej : did you ? huh . sami : what ? are you saying i missed some ? [ gasps ] i did n't . i do n't know how i feel about that . ej : just think of it as me always being ready to do whatever i need to do to protect my family . sami : seriously ? you 'd just pick up and go ? ej : anywhere . sami : and there 's nothing you 'd be sorry to leave behind ? ej : samantha ... all i need is you ... you and the children . that 's everything i need , and i have it right here . ben : i 'm still figuring it out , but i see what jordan does , and it 's like ... she could be happy , even when we were on the run . no matter where she was or how messed up the rest of her life was , she woke up every day and helped people . that 's what i want . i do n't know what or how , but that 's the one thing that i wake up with every day . so , no matter what i do , it just -- it has to matter to somebody besides me . abigail : it will . you 'll find that . i know it . rafe : i am not jealous of clyde , no . kate : okay , good . rafe : but i do care about you , and i do n't want to see you get mixed up with a guy that 's bad news . kate : well , it would n't be the first time . rafe : no , it sure would n't . and that 's the thing . so ... excuse me for looking out for a friend . jj : i love you so much . clyde : ask me , jeremiah . you can speak freely . jeremiah : when you say you 're gon na deal with ej dimera , you talking about an arch breslin - type solution ? 'cause i do n't care how much squabbling goes on in the family . some things will pull them together right quick . ej : they ca n't get to us , not if we do n't let them . sami : and we wo n't , no matter what happens out there , no matter who tries what . ej : we wo n't allow them to get to us ... because we ... live here . sami : and here ... always . ej : always . sami : [ chuckles ] paige : maybe we should go upstairs for privacy . jj : no . no . no . uh ... paige : something wrong ? jj : uh , yeah . yeah . abigail : [ chuckles ] ben : you are so beautiful . how did i get so damn lucky ? chad : i should have called you before i came back . this should 've been my first stop . it 's just ... on the entire way here , the whole flight , i just kept rereading that article about ej and abigail in my head , and the whole -- look , sorry . i just could n't shake it off that fast . sonny : i 'm not surprised . but what about now ? you 're still my partner , chad . are you gon na be okay with ben and abigail and everyone else involved coming in here on a regular basis ? chad : now i know why we do n't have a bouncer on the payroll . it 's because it 's you , is n't it ? sonny : get out of here . chad : yeah , you 're even more badass than when i left . sonny : count on it . chad : all right , look , so all that other stuff ... over . done . rearview mirror , all right ? i 'm good . now , partner ... i think we need to change how things are done around here . rafe : well , just ... just take it slow with this clown , okay ? kate : [ sighs ] rafe : okay ? kate : oh , now he 's a bozo ? rafe : you know what i mean . kate : and thank you , okay ? thank you for caring . rafe : okay . kate : hey . ah , jordan . jordan , you -- you just missed rafe . jordan : yeah , i saw . kate : oh , no . no , it 's not what you saw -- jordan : what you and rafe do is your business . kate : no , no . wait , wait , wait . it 's not about me and rafe , not the way you think . it 's just that ... he seems to be very upset about the fact that i went out with your dad .

[ dramatic music ] xander : so when sarah woke up , i just made up a story that her doctor had been called away on some emergency , that he 'd left and had n't come back . kristen : you knocked him out and stashed him in a supply closet . i mean , i really do hope that you covered your tracks and that the doctor does n't hunt you down and press assault charges . xander : if it comes to that , i 'll explain to the doctor that he should forego legal action lest he lose the very generous anonymous donation his clinic just received . kristen : [ scoffs ] well , that is an inspired move , but i can not have this coming back to haunt me . xander : relax , kristen . there 's no way that doctor will be able to finger us . it 'd be like he 's chasing a ghost . kristen : but she had an appointment . xander : all evidence of which has been wiped from the clinic 's computer and surveillance footage . it 's as if we were never there . kristen : so what happened when you told her the abortion did n't happen ? xander : she was relieved . kristen : yeah ? xander : yeah . i offered to take her home so she could reschedule , but she did n't want to . she 's changed her mind . kristen : how come ? xander : when she was under anesthesia , she had a -- a dream that made her rethink her choice . she said she was glad that the doctor was called away , helped her realize that she did n't want to end her pregnancy after all . kristen : so what is she gon na do now ? xander : well , if you 're asking whether she 's gon na tell eric , i really have no idea , but he 'd better not hear about it from you . kristen : okay , like i said , the only baby i am interested in now is mine , and since daddy brady has not returned my call , i am gon na have to take the little bump to him . woman : what 's my safelite story ? kayla : kate , believe me , i know how this looks , and i really -- i truly feel terrible about what it did to you and your family and to julie and her family . kate : i just do n't understand how you gave lucas such bad advice . kayla : to be clear , i did not give him advice . i presented the facts so that he could make an informed decision . kate : oh , really ? facts that turned into fiction ? kayla , how could you be so wrong ? kayla : to be honest , i -- i do n't know . what happened is -- well , it defies logic . kate : oh , i see . this is a medical miracle . kayla : based on everything that we saw , your test results , your -- your vital signs , your inability to breathe on your own -- medically speaking , the odds of you waking up were nearly none . kate : hmm . kayla : so as far as i 'm concerned , yes , this is a miracle . kate : you know , just between us , woman to woman , do you think there 's any possibility that the facts you presented to lucas were based on our history , just a little bit of payback , revenge ? kayla : absolutely not . i do n't know how you can even say that . kate : oh , come on . it 's not exactly like we 're , like , friends , is it ? kayla : i took an oath to do no harm , regardless of who my patient is . kate : kayla , come on . we know there 's been bad blood between us since i threatened to get you fired , since i told you that if you exposed my involvement with theo 's shooting , i would go public with the fact that you covered up for tripp when he altered medical orders . kayla : i do n't see the point of you dredging all this up . kate : the point is that you 've hated me since i blackmailed you , and then the whole thing got worse when you agreed to help stefan retaliate against me for what happened to vivian . kayla : i feel sick about what i did , but i did n't know how else to help steve . and by the way , you did shoot vivian . kate : and she shot me back . kayla : well , then maybe you should direct your anger towards her instead of me . kate : oh , believe me , i will , but thank god she 's about to be arrested . maybe she has already . stefan : thank you , robert . all right . [ keypad beeps ] he 's gon na meet us at the station . gabi : okay . oh , guess you did n't find her ? rafe : do you see her ? gabi : hmm . stefan : told you . she 's not here . rafe : no , i did not find her , but i did find this down there . gabi : half the town has been locked in those tunnels . that could be anybody 's . rafe : oh , is that right ? gabi : uh - huh . rafe : with the initials va on it ? your mother was definitely down there . the question is , where is she now ? hmm ? [ tense music ] vivian : oh . i feel like a mouse who 's escaped a maze in a really fabulous outfit . gosh , i love shoulder pads . where 's my scarf ? oh , i must have lost it in one of the tunnels . never mind , never mind , never mind . i have to go find someplace to hide before somebody sees me . rolf : it 's a little late for that , madam . eric : nicole ? nicole : hmm ? eric : what 's on your mind ? nicole : i -- i ca n't stop thinking about rolf and what he said . eric : yeah , i get it . he 's creepy and weird , but let 's do our best and forget about it , okay ? nicole : well , it 's kinda hard when he 's running around salem , free as a bird . eric : listen , i understand , and i do n't understand , after all the chaos he 's caused , why is he not sitting in a prison cell ? nicole : yeah , right ? and someone actually asked him to perform an abortion ? i mean , who would ask that freak to do something so personal ? eric : i have no idea , but whoever it was must have been very desperate . let 's not waste any time talking about that . rolf and his insanity -- let 's leave it in the past . nicole : yes . sorry . eric : it 's okay . xander : there 's the happy couple . brady : all right . well , i appreciate it . [ keypad beeps ] i 'm sorry about that . that was a business call . sarah : oh , it 's -- it 's no problem . brady : well , do you -- do you want to tell me what 's going on or not ? sarah : [ sighs ] it 's -- it 's complicated , and honestly , i do n't think unloading on you would help the situation at all . brady : [ sighs ] i could listen . listen , you did a really good thing for me . you prevented me from going down a dark path that i really did n't want to go back down , and that was because you were kind and you were understanding , you helped me get to a better place , so i do n't -- i do n't know if i can do that for you , but ... i can try . seriously , sarah . i mean , you can trust me . you can tell me anything . kristen : i hope i 'm not interrupting . brady : how -- how the hell did you get in here ? kristen : oh , i showed myself in . i could n't wait for henderson because i have some amazing news . brady : right , kristen , you know what ? you can take your amazing news and give it to somebody who gives a damn because you 're leaving now , okay ? kristen : no , no , no . you ca n't throw me out , no . brady : why ca n't i throw you out of here , hm ? kristen : because i 'm pregnant with your baby . vivian : dr. rolf ... [ laughs ] my goodness . what are you doing here ? rolf : well , i was cutting across the park when all of a sudden you appeared as if out of nowhere . i 'm assuming it was from one of the dimera tunnel entrances . vivian : yes , you assume right , but , oh , my goodness , i -- i am so happy to see you . rolf : mm . so you are in some kind of trouble , i take it ? vivian : oh , yes . 100 % , i 'm in trouble . dr. schotzy , i need your help . i need you to help hide me . rolf : i 'm not sure i can get involved . vivian : oh , but we once shared living quarters ... [ chuckles ] courtesy of kristen dimera . all those meals , the glasses of rieslings zinfandel , and oh , we talked . oh , those talks we had . rolf : yes , as i recall , you were the one doing all the talking . vivian : what , you did n't enjoy my stories about my days in bollywood ? i was in some major movies . rolf : yes , i know . you told me several hundreds of times . you know , perhaps you should have returned to india or at least stayed in chicago . at least that way , you would n't be in salem , where you 're wanted for attempted murder . vivian : right . so you 've heard . rolf : yes , everybody 's heard what you did to kate dimera . it 's all over the news . vivian : shh . that 's because kate regained consciousness . i mean , i do n't understand how could that have happened ? it 's certainly not because of her good karma . rolf : [ scoffs ] no , madam . it was me . kate : first i thought i was seeing a ghost , but it wasn't . it was vivian back from the dead , mad as hell , pointing a loaded gun at me . oh , god . so i tried to talk her down . actually , i thought that i did because she suggested that i take a walk , but she led me to the cemetery . [ scoffs ] kayla : and that 's where she shot you ? kate : [ scoffs ] she wanted me to see the open grave , you know ? she wanted me to see her intention , and then she pulled the trigger , and she ended up burying me alive . lucky for me , the hole was n't that deep . kayla : wow . that 's why you showed up here at the hospital covered in dirt . kate : yeah . yeah , and i walked all the way to this hospital -- no car , no ambulance . kayla : it 's a miracle you survived . kate : you 're damn right i did . i defied all odds . i walked out of that elevator on my own two feet , bleeding from a gunshot wound , and i would think just that fact would make you and your crackerjack team not give up on me so quickly . kayla : we didn't . kate , the decision was made when you showed all signs of a person going into a persistent vegetative state . kate : let me ask you a question . why do n't -- why do n't you use all of your expertise right now and tell me what kind of state i 'm in ? kayla : [ scoffs ] kate : oh no , let me save you for that . i 'll tell you what type . litigious . i 'm in a litigious state right now -- me , my lawyers , and a very big settlement . kayla : like i said , i am extremely sorry . my prognosis was based on the information that i had at the time . i was wrong , and i 'm gon na do everything in my power to figure out why . kate : oh , i can tell you why . because you were so obsessed with helping julie that you just threw in the towel with me . kayla : that is absolutely not true . we never weighted your life against julie 's . it was -- it was completely about what your chances were for recovery . kate : you told everyone i had no chance to recover , that it would never happen . well , guess what ? it did . kayla : well , you know , it 's like you said . your will to live beat all odds . kate : and sealed julie 's fate . by the way , now that julie 's not getting my heart , what happens with her ? can you help her ? eric : get lost . xander : okay , i 'll go , but first i just need to give something to nicole . your divorce papers , already signed . nicole : thank you . well , now let 's see what kind of tricks you 've tried to pull . xander : no , no tricks , no surprises . i swear . nicole : okay , well , as much as i 'd love to believe that , i 'm still going to give these to my lawyer to go over with a fine - toothed comb , but thank you for the hand delivery . xander : of course . nicole : and now there 's nothing that can get in the way of us being together .

'cause you know what i think ? i think that you sent me upstairs as a diversion to help her escape . stefan : that 's a hell of a baseless accusation you 're making against my wife . rafe : oh , shut up . you ... [ scoffs ] you hit a new low . you have , and it 's not gon na be long before you 're back in prison , and we both know that is not a good place for you . but do n't worry . you 're not gon na be left out , because as soon as i catch vivian , you 'll be named as an accessory . stefan : if you catch vivian . and if she made her way into those tunnels , she could be anywhere now . i mean , finding her is gon na be like , hell , finding a good cop in this town . gabi : stop . stefan : you know those tunnels weave all the way through salem ? rafe : yeah , actually , i do know that 'cause i was just down there in them , and i also know your mother ca n't stay down there forever , and when she comes up , i 'll be right there waiting for her with a nice pair of shiny cuffs . stefan : good luck . rafe : thank you . vivian will be caught , and when she is , you 're both going down with her . vivian : so you 're the reason kate dimera is n't dead ? rolf : it was a spontaneous resurrection . vivian : and what does that mean ? rolf : well , i happened upon her languishing in the hospital alone , unconscious , clearly close to the brink of death , so i made a spur - of - the- moment decision to give her a little jolt , you know , get her up and running again ? vivian : could n't you at least have left her with amnesia so she could n't point the finger at me ? rolf : [ chuckles ] i 'm sorry . the serum has been perfected . vivian : and you wasted it on her ? for heaven 's sake , why ? rolf : stefano always had a soft spot for kate , and i still have a soft spot for stefano . vivian : ah , yes . , maybe you could tell me where he 's hiding ? i mean , after all , rolfy , there 's no one better to hide me from the police than stefano dimera , no one more powerful or great . now where the hell is he ? nicole : i do n't believe it . that jerk was actually telling the truth . these divorce papers are clean . eric : now life is finally coming together . nicole : yeah . i mean , i have a family . i have a divorce .

[ scene_break ] billie : answer me , chelsea . what 's the real reason you 're so bothered by all this ? chelsea : i am bothered by this because you 're acting like a total hypocrite . i mean , you made me feel like the worst person in the entire world for trying to keep bo and hope apart . but now you 're trying to come in between a married woman and her husband . i mean , what kind of example is that ? billie : okay , first of all , steve and kayla are n't married anymore , at least not in the true sense of the word . they 're married in name only . and , hell , i 'm not even sure if that 's correct or legal because he was pronounced legally dead so long ago . chelsea : that 's just a technicality , and you know it . billie : no , it 's the truth , and you know it . so listen to me , why do n't you just admit that the real reason you do n't want me with steve is because you ca n't imagine me with anybody else but your father ? chelsea : [ scoffs ] that is so not true . billie : is n't it ? chelsea : mom , i 'm not 9 years old , and this is n't `` the parent trap . `` i 'm not sitting here plotting to get mommy and daddy back together . billie : okay . maybe not anymore , but deep down inside , it 's what you really want , and i do n't blame you one bit .

[ scene_break ] mimi : shawn , you know i 'm right . you 've never really gotten over belle . oh , i know you loved me , but there was always that part of your heart , that little part that still belonged to her . actually , a big part that i could never get near . and do you know how that made me feel ? i was your wife ! but from day one , i have felt like i have had to fight just to hold on to you , and that was n't fair . you never should have made those vows to me when you still had those feelings . and i never should have agreed to marry you , especially knowing what i knew . but the desperate , pathetic fool that i was , i thought i could make you forget about her . i thought that one day you would come to love me in the same way because that 's what you promised me . but belle did n't make that very easy for either one of us . she 's never gotten over you , either , and she has made that very clear so many times . so this is what i have had to live with , shawn . this is what has been tearing me in two ever since we got together . and , yes , it was wrong of me to deceive you , and i am sorry . i am more sorry than you 'll ever know . but , like i said , i 'm not the only one who 's lied here , shawn . the last time belle got cramps and you went to the hospital and i saw you kissing , you kissed her more than once . and you tried to explain it away , but i know what you said was n't the truth . if you did n't want to be with me , you should have just said so ! but you told me over and over and over again that i was the one that you really wanted , not belle . so if that was really true , then please tell me you can understand what this has been like for me and ... and somehow find it in your heart to forgive me . shawn d. : mimi , i can understand why you did what you did , given my history with belle and how much we once loved each other . and maybe there were some unresolved feelings because of the way things ended with us . mimi : maybe ? shawn d. : all i 'm saying is i can understand why you might feel threatened by claire being mine . but what i ca n't understand , what i will never understand is how the only one that you really thought about in all this was yourself . it was all about your happiness , your future , and what was fair to you . what about what was fair to an innocent child ? you deprived her of her natural father for almost the entire first year of her life . and if you had it your way , you would have kept me from her forever . and what about what you did to philip ? mimi : philip got the wife and the child he always wanted . shawn . : philip thinks this child is gon na be ripped away from him . mimi : that 's exactly what i never wanted him and claire to have to go through because they 're already bonded , and they 're already a family , shawn . shawn d. : now he 's had how many more months to love claire as his own and live a lie ? the guy is going through hell right now because of you . you took four lives , and you just trashed them to get what you wanted . and if you think that i am gon na forgive you for that , i can tell you right now it is never gon na happen . [ scene_break ] philip : now , look , i 'm only gon na say this once . belle and her baby are in trouble . they ca n't handle any more stress , none at all . so unless you are here to wish them well and mean it , mom , i need you to leave . do you understand ? kate : yes . yes , i do understand . but before you make me out to be a monster , i think you should remember something . it was not such a long time ago that you wanted that baby gone . philip : yes , i wanted belle to have an abortion . when she had been pregnant for about a day and i knew about the embryo switch and i knew she was carrying shawn 's baby , i wanted to do something about it . can you blame me ? but that was when i thought something was gon na come between us , and i do n't think that anymore . we are as connected as we ever have been , and we are gon na raise this new baby just like claire . kate : what about shawn ? philip : i 'll deal with it . i 've been through enough . i can handle this . kate : yeah , but now you have two children that have another guy 's dna . bo and hope told me about claire . philip : it 's not what you think . it happened before we were married , and shawn and belle did n't even know about it . kate : yes , honey , but now they do know about it . philip : so what , mom ? what are you saying ? kate : what i 'm saying is that maybe it 's time to reconsider . you always do the honorable thing . you want to do the right thing . but a time comes when enough is enough . philip : why do n't you just come out and tell me whatever it is that 's on your mind ? kate : you need to walk away , all right ? i thought belle was the one because you loved her , and i thought she could make you happy if shawn was out of her system . but now they have not only one , but they have two children together . i think you 're fighting an uphill battle here , and i think you deserve better . i think you deserve a woman who is going to love you as much as you love her . and , honey , that 's not belle , and it 's never going to be .

[ sighs ] why do n't you go upstairs and unpack ? chad : sami 's the reason what ? ej : does n't matter , okay ? go and get a room in the north wing . in fact , you can have the north wing . chad : no , no , wait , wait . hold on , hold on . hmm . you made a deal , did n't you ? our father was sitting on the evidence that cleared sami , am i right ? that 's why the razor suddenly appeared and the mistress and the bank account and all that stuff ? it was like all of a sudden , the cops busted open a piñata , and all the stuff kept falling out . stefano put it all out there for a price , am i right ? ej : what was i supposed to do -- just let her go to prison ? chad : well , of course you could n't , because he had you , man . ej : thank you ! it 's not that hard to understand , is it ? chad : actually -- ej : no . chad : no , you know what ? i do get it . stefano had you boxed in so he could dictate the terms . i 'm surprised all he wanted was for you and sami and the kids to live here . ej : well ... that was just the first order of the day ... although i suspect it is the one that mattered to him the most . you know how he likes his torture . no , once that was over , he made sure he took care of business . chad : so you did pay for it . ej : in blood and treasure . chad : how much ? ej : everything . sami : now ej says that we have to all live there together . lucas : but you ca n't do that . sami : i know . no , i mean , it 's crazy . it would be a nightmare . it would be completely toxic . lucas : yeah , he 's been living off those poisonous fumes long enough . sami : do n't . caroline : oh , okay , okay . i am lost . and this time i ca n't blame it on alzheimer 's . lucas : ej wants sami to live in the dimera mansion , the dimera crypt . caroline : oh , that 's where you 've been living , is n't it ? lucas : well , this time with the crypt keeper himself . sami : what he means is that stefano is back . lucas : which might be a good thing , after all , because that means that allie does n't have to live there anymore . sami : well , i 'm really happy this is working out for you . lucas : i 'm sorry that you 're hurt . i am . but if you and ej are gon na break up , maybe it 's better now than later . caroline : you and ej are breaking up ? sami : no . no , we are not . he is going to realize that i am right . he is going to come to his senses . lucas : oh , that sounds just like him , does n't it ? caroline : but you 're in love with him , are n't you ? sami : yes , of course i am , and i thought he felt the same way about me . caroline : he does . sami : then how can he expect me to do this ? if he really loves me , he would never ask me to do this . chad : so stefano leans on you to get you to stay here and makes you lean on me to get me to move in . ej : circle of life , dear boy . chad : ah , dimera - style . no wonder all the decanters are always half empty . ej : maybe we should start thinking about them as being half full , eh ? here . welcome home . chad : one big , happy family . lucas : i 'm just saying you should n't let ej bully you at all . you know , if you know something 's not right for you and the kids , you should n't do it . that 's all there is to it . sami : he 's not bullying me . lucas : i 'm just saying you 're doing the right thing , okay ? so stick to your guns . not your guns . forget i said `` guns . `` do n't touch another gun as long as you live , okay ? sami : good tip . lucas : hang in there for us . sami : thanks . look , grandma , the truth is , the fact that lucas agrees with me is sort of making me think that maybe i 'm wrong . jump in anytime . right ? it 's the dimeras . ej 's being psycho . you told me so . caroline : if i were to say anything , it would n't be any of that . sami : well , then do n't hold back . what are you thinking ? i mean , it would be a nightmare living in that house , right ? insane caroline : well , it does n't make sense , but why is ej insisting on it ? sami : because he told stefano he would . caroline : that ca n't be it . sami : it is . well , i mean , there 's more to it . it 's ... he had to promise stefano some things -- a lot of things -- to get stefano to give up the evidence that proved that i was innocent . caroline : such as ? sami : the entire company ... the deed to the house . caroline : everything ej had . sami : and then he had to promise that he would live in that house with him , that he would bring the entire family to live under that roof with him . caroline : and ej is sticking with that . sami : and it does n't make sense . i mean , it would be a nightmare , and he knows that . but he -- he keeps insisting that he gave his word as a dimera . caroline : well , i understand that . sami : what ? caroline : the man gave his word . it has to mean something . chad : it 's unbelievable . does n't sami get what you did for her ? ej : she says she does . chad : ah , well , and she still leaves you here with your decanter in hand . that 's -- that 's cold . ej : no , no , no , no . she wants me to leave with her and double - cross stefano . chad : well , it would n't be the first time . ej : i gave him my word ... as a dimera . chad : ah , the nuclear option . you told her that too ?

ej : of course . chad : well , then that ca n't be that . it 's not over yet . ej : chad , she stormed out of here . chad : ej , it 's sami . she storms out on the way to the supermarket . you ca n't take that seriously . come on . ej : this was not her having some little tantrum . she meant it . chad : well , then you have your work cut out for you , okay ? it 's not over yet . ej : i do n't beg . chad : no . hell , no . no , no , no , no . you make your case , counselor . she 'll get it . ej : maybe ... in time . chad : uh - uh . now ... while everything 's still mushy and she has n't dug in her heels . seriously , do it . ej : thank you , chad . it 's good to know you care . chad : oh , no , no . do n't -- do n't tear up on me , okay ?

nicole : ej . are you happy with what your sister managed to get away with ? ej : i 'm not giving you a quote for your television show , nicki . nicole : i 'm not asking as a reporter . i 'm asking as someone who cares about eric . your sister caused him a tremendous amount of pain . she ruined his life and got off scot - free . oh , let me guess how that makes you feel . sami : and i 'm just a little bit nervous , eric , 'cause i have something i have to tell you . um ... and i wanted to do it in person , so i 'm so glad you 're here . eric : what is it ? sami : [ exhales ] i got back together with ej . we 're -- we 're together , for good . jordan : you ... [ stammers ] wait . you ... kate : i was out with your father . yeah , we had a harmless little date . well , but i can see that you 're about to burst a blood vessel about it , which i suppose i understand , given your feelings for me , of course , and your complicated relationship with your father . i mean , i understand that , but you know the thing that 's really curious to me ? why would rafe be so upset about it ? jj : no , no . paige : uh ... is something wrong ? jj : yeah . it 's just -- it 's just -- we ca n't be , like , down here alone , you know ? 'cause my sister and my mom could walk in . paige : we could go up to your room and close the door . jj : [ stammers ] paige : really ? okay , uh ... well , my friend daphne lives in a dorm on campus . she has night classes , and i could get us in . we 'd have privacy -- she does n't have a roommate or anything . jj : paige , are you -- are you not listening ? i said no . eve : [ exhales ] oh ! jenn , you scared me to death ! jennifer : you do not just get to dump on me and turn on your heels and walk away . eve : well , yeah , i do , 'cause i think i 've said all i need to say to you . jennifer : well , i have n't said everything that i want to say . i am not done , not by a long shot . eve : [ sighs ] ben : you are so beautiful . how did i get so damn lucky ? eve : i do n't have all night , jenn . jennifer : your words have consequences , eve . eve : i was just telling the truth . jennifer : the truth ? you would n't know the truth if it bit you on the -- eve : oh , come on . we all know what kind of man jack was , all right ? now we 're all gon na see what kind of man jj is turning out to be . okay , now you may have been willing to settle , but listen to me -- i 'm not . not for myself and certainly not for my daughter . she deserves better than your son , and damn it , she 's gon na have it . paige : i know you have more experience than n i do . is that what bothers you ? that i 'm not as -- jj : wh -- no . no , no , no , no , no . of c -- of course not , no . paige : [ exhales ] okay , because i 'm really into you . and i -- you do know that i love you . jj : yeah , i love you too . paige : so i just wanted us to get closer and have more alone time . is this about my mom ? [ sighs ] jj , i 'm so sorry that she was mean to you , and she said all those things , i -- jj : no , look , paige , it 's not about your mom . it 's -- paige : oh , okay , well ... then the only other thing it could be about is what i overheard about what happened to your aunt kayla . is that it ? is that what -- is that what 's upsetting you ? i do n't -- what ? sami : i can see by the look on your face that you 're upset . i mean , i did n't expect you to be jumping for joy or anything , but ... look , eric , i know how you feel -- how everybody feels -- about ej . but it 's important to me that you -- of all people , that you understand . ej hates that he hurt me . he has gone out of his way to make it up to me . and i 've hurt him too . but we 're a family , and ... we have worked through this . our kids are so happy when we 're together . you should have seen them last night . i mean , we -- we had so much fun , all of us , just ... i 'm never gon na be okay with the fact that ej knew what kristen did and did n't say anything . eric : sami -- sami : okay , just hear me out . i -- i want you to know that he is horrified by his sister 's actions against you , and he hates that you were in pain . eric : okay , sami , you know what ? we talked about this a while back . sami : yes , and i remember everything that we said . ej makes me very , very angry , okay ? and i hated that he did n't step forward for you . eric : sami , we both know , even if you hated ej for not stepping forward for me , it was n't what broke you . it was his affair with abigail , and i still do n't understand how you were able to get past that . sami : well , it was n't easy . but it was simple . i forgave him . certainly with your experience , with faith , you can understand that better than anyone , ca n't you ? which leads me to my next question . can you forgive me , being with ej ? ej : nicki , i 've had absolutely nothing to do with my sister since she came back to salem . nicole : oh , please . do not kid a kidder . ej : what she did to eric was deplorable . beyond the pale . nicole : right . except you knew all about it before anyone else did , and you kept it quiet . so maybe you did n't think it was `` beyond the pale `` back then . i do n't know , but maybe -- maybe you were thinking it was actually ingenious . ej : [ laughs ] okay . it was nice seeing you , nicki . nicole : it 's ironic , though , is n't it ? i mean , after all the hell that we put each other through , and -- that was another life . you get back with sami , i fall in love with eric all over again , and yet here we are . you 're not with sami , i 'm not with eric , because neither one of us could keep a houseplant alive , let alone maintain a relationship . ej : oh , uh , i 'm sorry , you have your facts wrong , not that that should be any real great surprise to either one of us , but , um ... samantha and i are actually back together , and we are doing better than we ever have . jordan : no idea what kind of games you 're playing now , kate . kate : well , surely by now you know i do n't play games . and -- and , in truth , it was rafe who introduced me to your father . jordan : stepfather . kate : whatever . whatever . but since clyde 's new to town , i thought i could fill him in on a few things . and , truthfully ? he 's really a charming man . jordan : he 's -- ugh . you do n't even know him . kate : well , i know the two of you did n't get along very well . and i know that he is eager , if not desperate , to make things right between the two of you , to be in harmony with both of his children . nicole : you and sami ... ej : are back together . yeah . and i have to tell you , we are happier than ever . nicole : that is , um ... [ laughs ] not a surprise . uh , quite predictable , actually , because everyone in salem knows that sami ca n't be without a guy for more than five minutes . of course , rafe and lucas would never take her back , because she 's shown them her true lunatic colors , but you seem to be insatiable for lunacy , women who walk all over you . so naturally , sami had to settle for you . but it 's sad , really , that you have such low standards . you 're a good - looking guy . okay , you lack a conscience and a soul , but you 're quite witty , cute smile , decent body . ej : do you know what i think 's sad ? nicole : hmm ? ej : i think it is sad that you will never understand the type of love that samantha and i have . nicole : [ laughing ] sami : come on . eric , just say something . tell me what you 're thinking . eric : does it matter ? sami : yes , of course it matters ! you matter . you 're my twin . we have our special twin bond . i ca n't go the rest of my life thinking that you hate me for being with ej . eric : sami , special bond or not , no matter what i have to say ... you 're still gon na be with ej , right ? paige : i feel really bad about this -- bringing up what 's obviously a very painful topic for you . i 'm so sorry . jj : it 's all right . paige : [ exhales ] jj , i just met your aunt , but you 've loved her your whole life , and here i am just talking about her and what she went through , and -- jj : uh , paige ... i -- paige : from the moment i even brought it up , you 've been a mess . i mean , i knew you would be , but even more than i thought . jennifer : it was a matter of the right time , i 'm telling you ! jj : mom , you allowed me to live in this fantasy about dad . i - i thought that he was this -- this weird , funny guy that goes on adventures , and then i find out that he -- you know what ? i ca n't even say it . paige : you 're not even listening to me anymore , are you ? oh , my god . something really is wrong . jennifer : first of all , jj is his own man . he is not his father . and you , of all people , have no right to call him out on anything or terrorize him the way you did today . eve : [ exhales ] jennifer : he did n't have to show you those photos . he showed them to you because he wanted to prove to you that he was entrapped . eve : did you even see the pictures , jenn ? obviously not , because anybody with eyes in her head could tell how into that girl he was . he was loving every minute of it . jennifer : anyone with a brain in their head would see that it was n't true , that it was a setup , eve . eve : oh , please . oh , right , just as his errant father was always set up every time he behaved criminally , despicably ... jennifer : you listen to me , and you listen to me hard . my -- my husband , yes , he -- he made mistakes . serious , serious mistakes , but he was a wonderful and caring man and -- and father and husband , eve , and -- eve : oh , would you just put a sock in it , jenn ? i mean , come on , really ? i mean , defending your family is usually a noble act -- i will grant you that -- but not when your family 's not worth defending . jennifer : you watch yourself , eve . eve : well , let 's just look at the facts , shall we ? you got your daughter abigail , who slept with ej dimera , of all people ? and now jj , all over that little slut , i mean , come on . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . jennifer : okay , i 'm leaving right now , eve . eve : let 's not forget about jack , jack , jack , jack . always and above all , jack , right ? yes , and as much as i really loathe speaking ill of the dead , the truth is , jenn -- um , well , your protestations to the contrary notwithstanding -- the truth is , he was ... a cheater , grifter , absent father , absent husband , but moreover , he was a pathological liar who used you as a human doormat over and over again . but you know what ? you loved it , because you got to play victim . and you ate it up , because you also got to look like the all - forgiving saint that -- well , i got ta admit , jenn , you are not . but what you are is a masochist . you loved how jack hurt you . you loved every single minute of it . oh ! jj : um ... it 's all , uh ... it 's kind of complicated . um ... when you -- when you asked if , um , if this was about your mom , i w -- i was n't telling the truth , because it is . paige : okay . jj : yeah , uh ... she kind of got to me , you know ? more than i let on , uh ... the things that she said , and those -- she asked if she could see the photos , and , uh , i knew they looked really bad , but i also thought that she would see that it was a setup right away . of course , she did n't , you know ? and she , uh , she laid into me pretty hard . paige : [ scoffs ] that 's so unfair . none of that was your fault , and she had no right to lay into you like that . jj : yeah . paige : i 'm gon na find her and have it out with her . jj : oh , no , no , no , no . hey , you do n't have to do that . paige : yeah , i do . i told her i believe you did n't have anything do to with that girl , and ... [ scoffs ] this time , she 's gon na listen to me . i 'm not letting her have the last word on this , jj . [ phone ringing ] jj : uh ... um , i 'm sorry , i really have to deal with this . hey , i 'll see you tomorrow , okay ? paige : yeah , sure . [ scoffs ] that 's the last time mom gets in the way of me and my boyfriend . eve : dear god . jennifer : you get this through your head . i am not gon na listen to you say one more negative word about jack or either one of my children . and you will stay away from my son from now on . you will not call him , text him , email him , anything , ever again . i hope i made myself clear . eve : sorry , bitch . i 'm just getting started . ben : i remember the first time i saw you . i was working the bar , and you came into the club to pick up a package for sonny and will . abigail : yeah , for their wedding . ben : mm - hmm . abigail : you made such a big deal about how overdressed i was . ben : oh , my god , to be honest , i was just so blown away at how beautiful you were , i -- i made a complete fool of myself . abigail : no , no , you did n't . ben : yeah . abigail : not at all . i do think i was , like , instantly attracted to you , though . ben : no . abigail : you were shy , though . but i do n't think that now , of course . nicole : [ laughing ] ej : i do n't know what it is that you find so amusing . nicole : i 'm sorry . it 's not so much what you said as how you said it and with such a straight face . [ clears throat ] `` actually , nicole , what 's sad is , you 'll never understand the type of love that samantha and i have . `` blah , blah , blah . [ laughs ] ej : it is sad . nicole : okay . ej : i do n't think you have ever experienced it , nor do i think you ever will . nicole : oh , oh , really ? how deep is your love , ej ? is it so deep that you jumped into bed with abigail deveraux ? and then sami does everything in her power to destroy you -- she has you arrested for tax evasion , she steals your company . and yet , somehow , now , apparently she has you eating right out of her hand or something like that . ej : one ca n't help but wonder if all this bitterness and resentment comes from the fact that you destroyed any possibility of any relationship with dear father eric . nicole : do n't you talk to me about eric , do you understand ? he has more integrity in his little left earlobe than you 'll have in over five lifetimes . you are not worthy to speak his name , especially when you just stood by and let your sister destroy his life and destroy us . ej : oh , dear nicki . you 're still in love with him . [ laughs ] sami : yes , i love ej no matter what . but i love you too . and i just want you to understand me and -- and love me anyway , the way you always have . so , if you ca n't get past the whole me and ej thing , i want you to tell me . i 'm sitting here , being totally honest with you . so i just -- i just want you to be honest with me too , okay , eric ? please . eve : [ sighs ] paige : [ exhales ] how could you do that to me , mom ? how could you go after jj ? eve : well , someone had to , sweetheart . jennifer : ugh . hey . hi , honey , how are you doing ? honey , what is it ? what 's going on ? it 's eve , is n't it ? and i totally understand , because i know exactly what happened today . kate : i understand your anger , i really do . jordan : like hell you do . kate : it 's not about your father . your stepfather , i 'm sorry . it 's really about the relationship between me and rafe . and i did tell him that my date with clyde was just that , just a little dinner between new acquaintances . and i also made it abundantly clear that no matter how rafe feels about me , we just do n't have a future together . so , if you could find it in yourself to just go ahead and forgive him for what we did together , i really do think that you two have a chance . jordan : you really are a colossal bitch . ej : [ laughs ] nicole : oh , does n't matter how i feel about eric , okay ? not anymore . ej : okay , i -- look , i 'm sorry . nicole : mm . ej : seriously , nicole , i 'm wondering this . with all that you and i have been through over the years , do you think it 's maybe time for us to just put the past behind us and , um , want what is best for one another ? nicole : [ laughs ] ej : huh ? nicole : uh , yeah , that -- that would be different . ej : yeah . nicole : mm - hmm . ej : refreshing , maybe , even ? nicole : hmm . we have been through the wars . with sydney ... ej : mm - hmm . nicole : sami , with each other . ej : look , i 've known you for a long time . nicole : mm - hmm . ej : and in all the time that i 've known you , i have never heard you speak about anybody with the intensity with which you speak about eric . so i ... can appreciate that this is obviously very painful for you . nicole : yeah . like i said , it does n't matter . ej : who are you ? nicole , you 're not really gon na throw in the towel that easily , are you ? nicole : it was n't easy at all . ej : okay , okay , okay , look . just -- if you love him this much , then just -- nicole : all right , as much as i love him , ej , multiply that by a gazillion , and that is how much eric hates me . okay ? sami : so you 're sitting there not answering my question . eric : the one thing that we 've never battled is our love for each other . my beautiful , impossible sister . sami : [ laughs ] eric : i love you as much as you love me . and i can not conceive one possible idea that would ever prevent me from loving you with all my heart . paige : you had no right to rip jj down like that . eve : no , i had every right , sweetheart , because i 'm your mother . i 've spent my life trying to protect you from harmful people . paige : [ laughs ] oh , please . eve : you told me that those pictures were nothing and that your friend mary beth had blown it completely out of proportion , but i 'm telling you this . jj showed me those pictures , and they were horrifying , sweetheart . you were n't honest with me at all . paige : what ? i was too . mom , it was a setup . jj did n't even know it was happening . eve : sweetheart , please do n't be a fool , all right ? jj -- jj knew exactly what was happening , all right ? and i know why you do n't want to believe what you see . i was just like you once , sweetheart . but , paige , i always thought that you were smarter than me . i mean , am i wrong ? or has this boy completely already damaged the smart , sensible girl that i raised ? honey , what has he done to you ? jennifer : i know . i know that eve came over here , and she jumped all over you , demanding to see those photos . so i just paid her a visit , and i had it out with her . jj : mom , i -- jennifer : what ? i 'm not gon na stand back and let her attack my son . and she went after your sister . jj : why abigail ? jennifer : because she will use the two of you as pawns to get to me , jj . nothing is off limits with her , not even your dad . but i am telling you right now , she is not gon na get away with it , okay ? so you -- you just live your life , and do n't worry about that poor excuse of a woman . and you do what you do , and you be who you are . do you understand me ? honey , what is going on with you ? your hands are shaking . tell me what is wrong . jj : mom , uh ... i - i 'm in trouble , and i 'm -- i 'm just not sure what to do about it . ( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? ej : nicole , in my growing experience , i have really found that hate can be temporary . nicole : well , not for eric . he is going to hate me for all eternity . and what -- wait , what are you -- what are you doing ? are you -- are you actually encouraging me not to give up on him ? because if that 's what you 're doing , i -- wait a minute , hold on . let 's back up a second . you know -- you know that sami is gon na dump you yet again . is she really the one that you love ? ej : she 's the one . nicole : well , good luck with that . ej : you take care . paige : jj has n't done anything to me . nothing . i have n't changed at all . but my eyes are wide open now , and it 's totally clear that this is all about you , mom . eve : ooh . paige : yeah . you hate his mother , you 're still mad about his father , so you hate him . eve : this is a ridiculous oversimplification , sweetheart . paige : oh , it 's ridiculous , all right . sure , yeah , you say you 've given him a chance , but you have n't at all . you stay up nights coming up with things you can use to go after him . eve : well , i really did n't have to look too far on this one , did i ? paige : [ scoffs ] jj : i , uh , i love paige so much , mom . it 's like i ca n't even think about not being able to be with her . but i get afraid sometimes . jennifer : oh , honey , i understand . i understand it has n't been easy on you guys , considering all the history , but something else is going on here , and you need to tell me what it is . abigail : i do n't ever want to leave this room . what ? ben : i do n't either . but , eventually , we 're gon na have to . and when we do , we 're gon na have to find a place where we can do this all the time . just us . unless ... abigail : unless what ? ben : i do n't know , maybe you do n't want to . abigail : yeah . yeah , you 're right . i 'm gon na have to seriously consider it . ben : yeah ? well , maybe i can help you decide . mm . well ? abigail : yeah , it 's gon na have to happen again . ben : mm . abigail : mm - hmm . ben : yeah , that 's what i thought . abigail : and again ... and maybe again .

[ laughter ] uh , and -- and the reason i tell you that is because well , the japanese , they do n't have a word that means `` identity . `` which , for a good part of my life , i -- i was trying to find for myself . but of course , i -- i could n't find out who that was . i did n't really know who i was . until i met you , sonny . and when i first saw you , i saw someone who was brave , who was funny . [ soft laugh ] who was honest , and true to himself and what was in his heart . and as i got to know this man , i saw something else . i saw those feelings that i 'd had , those feelings that i 'd -- i 'd been hiding . they were n't wrong . and , uh , it was through our friendship , and then later my love for you , that i was able for the first time in my life to look in that mirror and -- and see who i really was . when i was four years old , [ soft laugh ] i knew what i wanted to do . but it was only until very recently that i found out who i wanted to be . i want to be the man who spends the rest of his life with you , sonny kiriakis . sonny : it 's true that i was able to see who you really were before you could . or , before you could admit it . but you were the one who saw how good we could be together . and that was before i had any clue at all . and now we 're standing here , paul , in front of the most important people in our lives . and they all know and you know that i have been in love before , and i lost that love . and for a while , i was lost . and i did n't want to be found by anyone . you helped me find my way back from a broken heart . you showed me that i could love again . and i 'm so happy that it 's you that i fell in love with . and as we begin this journey again , i know that no matter which direction i turn , you are gon na be there for me , like you 've always been . and paul , i want you to know from the bottom of my heart there it not another living soul on this planet that i would rather be standing here with than you . chad : great . yeah , i 'm gon na follow -- i 'm gon -- okay , i 'm gon na follow that one .

[ scene_break ] kate : countess wilhelmina is going to bury mad world cosmetics and madison james . ej : read all about it ! kate : huh ? ej : the front page . every single local newspaper , even got a write - up in the new york times . kate : ohh , that is impressive . you 're all over the blogosphere as well . ej : hmm . who knew dimera running for mayor would garner so much attention ? kate : you did . you did . announcing your candidacy at that block party last night was absolutely brilliant . the only other person who got any kind of attention was john black because his arrest was a showstopper . ej : uh - huh . oh , here we are -- `` man in wheelchair walks straight to jail . `` [ laughs ] kate : okay , well , we 'll feed off the misfortune of others later . i have a very busy day . ej : oh , yes , you have the relaunch of countess wilhelmina . kate : i have so much to do . i have so much to do while i keep an eye on the competition . let me tell you . if anyone could scrub the launch of countess wilhelmina , it 's madison james . all right , you . ej : mm - hmm . kate : enjoy your first day as a candidate . and do n't forget the little people . ej : the little people , my dear . trick is to make sure you stay in the little people 's minds . i have good press today , but the trick is to get it every single day until i win this election by a landslide . kate : oh , well , i have a good p.r . firm for that . i mean , if they can keep the wannabes and the has - been in the news , i 'm sure they could help you , my dear . ej : that 's very sweet of you , i think , but , actually no , i already have somebody in mind . kate : nicole ? nicole : i still have my key . so i let myself in . but since i wo n't be needing it anymore , you can have it back . kate : the pawn has fallen , just like john black . [ scene_break ] marlena : good morning , darling . john : well , i 've had better . marlena : mm . i was hoping you could get some sleep last night . you know , today 's your arraignment , and you really should look your best in court . john : [ sighs ] marlena : oh , my god . john , what happened ? john : easy , doc . it 's not as bad as it looks . marlena : tell me what happened . did your legs give out ? did you fall ? john : exactly . marlena : no . who did this to you ? john : some of my fellow guests did n't like my looks , so they took turns changing them . marlena : well , how did they get into your cell ? you were meant to be by yourself until the arraignment . john : oh , there was a surprise exercise break in the middle of the night , and i was herded out in the general population with everyone else . marlena : why did n't the guards stop it ? john : [ laughs ] what guards ? not a single cop showed up until it was all over . [ scene_break ] hope : john black was to be kept in his holding cell until this morning until his arraignment . bo : why the hell was he put where the other inmates could get at him ? mistakes happen . bo : yeah . who made these particular mistakes ? hope : who ordered him to be sent to the yard with the other inmates ? well , i took him , if that 's what you mean . look , if i screwed up , then , you know , oops , i screwed up . it 's not like john black was ... [ laughs ] killed or anything . hope : you are a disgrace to that uniform . according to you . that 's your opinion . look , you want to write me up so i can get out of here already ? bo : i 'll do more than write you up . i 'll make sure you 're suspended without pay . no , you wo n't . the union 'll block it . in fact , i may even get a bonus because of what happened to john black . now how about that write - up ? [ scene_break ] kate : well , nicole , if your infestation of our happy home is now over and you 've come here merely to drop off a key , however clumsily , you may now leave . ej : actually , kate , nicole is here at my invitation . kate : oh . are you now lobbying for the vote of the tawdry and tacky ? nicole : should n't you be sunning yourself on a rock somewhere ? ej : kate actually has a meeting that she needs to go to , do n't you ? kate : ej , why is she here ? ej : kate , please , you 're going to be late . kate : okay . fine , my love . ej : thank you . nicole : not that i 'm a big fan of kate 's ... ej : well , not that many people are . nicole : but she does bring up a good question . why am i here , ej ? what do you want from me ? [ scene_break ] brady : grandfather , good morning . victor : it is indeed . brady : oh , you 're very cheery this morning . does that mean maggie accepted your proposal ? victor : she did , and i could n't be happier . brady : well , i mean this , congratulations to you . victor : thank you . i am a very happy man . and i will be elated when we acquire mad world cosmetics from madison james . brady : mm - hmm . amen to that . by the way , she 's late . typical prima donna businesswoman , right ? victor : oh , she 'll be here pretty soon . that was quite the affair we had here yesterday , was n't it ? brady : yeah , yeah , especially when my father was hauled off by the fbi in handcuffs . victor : that was regrettable . did you talk to john today ? brady : no . victor : brady , he 's your father . brady : you know , where is this madison woman anyway ? victor : listen , her business is well worth waiting for . madison : is that fresh coffee ? i 'd love some . victor : madison , what a pleasure to finally meet you . madison : how do you do ? victor : please , sit down . madison : thank you . victor : my grandson brady black . madison : pleasure . brady : my pleasure . victor : thank you for coming all the way to salem to meet with us . madison : well , i do enjoy doing business face to face . so who 's hungry ? brady : i 'm starving . victor : well , then , why do n't we order ? and then we can talk a little business before we eat . madison : victor , before we start , there 's something i have to tell you . on the way in , i spoke to the hostess . i asked her to make sure the kitchen did n't rush our order . you know , i want to take our time here at this first meeting . 'cause first impressions are so important . do n't you think ? [ scene_break ] nicole : actually , let me ask you a question . why are you running against abe ? he has done a great job as mayor . he deserves to be reelected . ej : well , obviously i disagree . otherwise , i would n't have thrown my hat in the ring . nicole : you 're gon na lose . big . everyone loves abe . ej : oh , i see . everybody hates me ? nicole : pretty much , yeah . ej : uh - huh , right . you 're very cheery for so early in the morning . nicole : come on , you know it 's true . but what i for the life of me do not get is why you want to run for mayor . unless , of course , you 're more of a glutton for punishment than i am . or you 're just so arrogant that you actually believe that you 're gon na win because of your good looks and your deep pockets . ej : well , i do n't seem to remember good looks and deep pockets doing jack kennedy any harm . nicole : okay . so what do you want me to do ? hmm ? you want me to canvass nursing homes and say , `` hey , vote for elvis `` ? ej : that 's a good idea , right ? if we get some of those old ladies thinking they 're pulling the lever for the king . ? ? ? ? ? ? nicole : do n't waste my time . ej : okay , nic , all right , nicole , i 'm sor -- look . i 'm sorry . okay ? bad joke . [ sighs ] i ... i need somebody who can put a positive spin on the family name . nicole : mm . well , that 'll take an army of miracle workers . the dimera name is right down there with stalin . ej : agreed . however ... what would you do to fix it ? i mean , you know , if you were my publicist . nicole : [ scoffs ] you ca n't be serious . ej : look , nicki , i need someone . someone who can convince the good people of salem , okay , that the dimera name has been vilified by the liberal media , that the wealth and the reputation that we have does n't make us any different from anybody else in the world . see , now i have good press now , ? ? ? ? but i need good press every single day . i need everybody in this town -- i need everybody in this country to know that a dimera is worthy of elected office . nicole : wait , wait , wait . back up a second . why do you want national recognition ? you 're only running for mayor . ej : baby steps . baby steps . [ scene_break ] hope : i ca n't believe lauritano completely disobeyed the order to keep john separate from the other inmates . bo : he wanted payback , and he got it . hope : i understand that people are angry at john , but , i mean , his reputation is impeccable . he 's done a lot for this town . bo : his reputation does n't mean anything to the people who invested with him and lost big . i mean , we 're talking city , unions , rank - and - file citizens that bet their lives on basic black , and it 's -- it 's gone . people trusted john with their money because they thought it was in safe , secure hands . they had faith in him , both personally and professionally . now that that 's gone , all they 're left with is fear and anger . hope : a lot of growth funds had losses the last few years . but i never heard any complaints about basic black . bo : well , john 's investment division was able to make money when other companies were going under . the investors thought john was golden . so they poured more money into basic black , thinking they 'd get a bigger return . hope : until the money disappeared . bo : yeah . and we 're talking billions over night just gone -- pension plans , 401s , life savings , you name it , it 's ... it 's gone . ours included . hope : we 'll get it back . brady , we 're gon na get it back , as soon as we figure out who 's really behind this . john will be proven innocent . brady , anyone who knows him knows he would never steal a cent from anyone . and just think of how insane this is . it 's not like he needs the money . he 's rich in his own right . bo : not according to the feds . they think he needed this money to shore up basic black , that it was floundering in the rough economy . hope : you do n't honestly think that -- bo : hey , the f -- i read the fbi file . what they have against him ... he looks guilty as hell . [ scene_break ] marlena : oh , john . they should have taken you to the hospital . you 've only been walking a short time . an injury to your brain -- john : just some cuts and bruises . i 've done worse shaving . marlena : please do n't make light of it . you know how fragile your recovery is . the arrest on top of everything could -- john : i 'll be okay , just as long as i have you . marlena : always . you always have me . the arraignment 's today . you 'll be out on bail . i will get you home where you belong . roman : maybe . maybe not . marlena : you know something we do n't know ? roman : i just do n't want you to get your hopes up , doc . you either , john . [ scene_break ] madison : victor , you flatter me . victor : oh , but it 's true , my dear . you built mad world cosmetics from the ground up , took a boutique brand and turned it into a name respected by women all over the world . that takes more than business savvy . that takes a commitment . passion . madison : thank you , victor . not everyone gets that . you know , not everyone gets me . victor : we do . that 's why we want you and mad world cosmetics to come to titan . do n't we , brady ? brady : yes , we do . it would be very , very good for business . madison : well , mad world is n't just a business to me . i need you to understand that this company is part of me . i want what 's best for it more than what i want what 's best for myself . victor : so eloquent . all the more reason why you should be at titan . we understand where you 're coming from , and we respect it . madison : and i 'm sure mad world 's bottom line does n't hurt . victor : profits matter . but people matter more . i promise you , you bring your company to titan ... [ cell phone rings ] victor : i 'm sorry . i thought i turned that ringer off . my fiancée . if you 'll excuse me . madison : oh , of course , victor . congratulations . you know what , your fiancée is a very lucky woman . victor : thank you . madison : hmm , he is quite the charmer , your grandfather . ah . a lot of women wo n't admit that they like to be treated like women . i 'm not like that . brady : some men may be intimidated by your success . madison : or maybe all the negative publicity i 've received lately . brady : look , if you 're referring to the way i acted earlier ... madison : i have always run my company my way . with no interference from anyone . brady : good . i like that . all the more reason why you should merge with titan . because like you , madison , we are in charge . we tell our employees what to do . if they do n't do it , they 're gone . that 's how we roll . madison : okay , well , if you think for a minute that i would give up control of mad world , you could n't be more wrong . [ scene_break ] marlena : do you think there 's some reason john will not be allowed out on bail ? especially after what happened last night ? roman : john , i 'm sorry about that . it 's been taken care of . i guarantee you that will not happen again . marlena : that 's why he needs to be out on bail , 'cause he 's not safe here . roman : under normal circumstances , he might get bail , but the charges against john are staggering . marlena : carrie told us that in cases like john 's the judge will often allow bail . and considering john 's health ... john , you would agree to house arrest , would n't you ? roman : doc , you know what , i think you 're a little too close to this situation to see it for what it is . john and his investment firm are high - profile . they think they brought down another bernie madoff . their plan is to skin john alive . and from what i 'm hearing , they have the evidence to do it . marlena : why do n't you sit down and rest your legs for a second and let me talk to roman ? do n't tell me for a second you think he 's guilty . [ scene_break ] hope : i -- bo : [ clears throat ] hope : read the fbi 's file on john too . twice . and , yes , the feds have more than enough evidence to put john away for the rest of his life . that is , if the evidence is legit . bo : oh , is this the start of your conspiracy theory ? hope : well , what is it that judge judy always says ? if it does n't make sense , then it 's usually not true . bo : i 'm not arguing with you . but we both read the fbi file , and it has conviction written all over it . hope : maybe that 's it . bo : what ? hope : maybe it 's too airtight . bo : the feds are n't that easily duped . hope : but it 's possible . brady , everyone knows that john would never steal a cent from them . so if billions of dollars have been embezzled from the basic black investment division , someone else did it . bo : yeah , well , we 're just ... we 're gon na have to figure out who it is . hope : then you -- you agree that john 's innocent ? bo : yeah , i never doubted it . hope : thank god , because , for a second there , i was n't sure . bo : no , look , john and marlena , they could have stayed in europe and fought extradition if it came to that , but they came here to be part of our celebration , even though they knew john could be arrested . guilty people do n't do that . hope : well , as bleak as everything looks right now , the truth comes out . bo : it always does . hope : john 's gon na be proven innocent . bo : look , you and i know that he 's innocent , but those people who 've lost their pensions , lost their life savings , they 're out for blood . john 's blood . [ scene_break ] brady : my grandfather and i want to buy your company , madison , but we want you to run it . you would remain ceo , and you 'd have complete , complete autonomy to run things the way in which you 'd want to . madison : okay . i 'm listening . brady : you 'd make a fortune off the sale itself , you 'd earn an obscene salary , and you 'd also get annual bonuses . madison : no t - shirt ? brady : you want a t - shirt ? madison : tell victor i 'm refusing your offer . brady : nothing would change . you 'd be running your company . madison : except mad world 's profits would n't go to me . they 'd go to titan . brady : good point . so i 'm prepared to sweeten the pot with profit participation . what do you think ? madison : i think i almost forgot . is n't this yours ? brady : [ laughs ] listen , i owe you a lot more than this . if my grandfather found out that i mistook you for a hostess , he would have freaked out . madison : i was standing behind the hostess stand . brady : yeah , you were , but for me to assume that you were a woman that -- madison : what , a woman who works for a living ? i do , brady . i 'm not different from most women these days . brady : trust me , you are . um , i had a lot on my mind this morning , i had a lot to do , and i ... madison : did n't want to waste time with a corporate bitch , i know , i got it . brady : i said bitch , did n't i ? i used that word ? madison : mm - hmm . brady : i should have gotten a picture of you before this meeting . instead i acted like a jerk . madison : pompous jerk . brady : pompous . madison , i 'm sorry . really . madison : since you 're a good tipper , i accept your apology . brady : thank you . [ laughs ] madison : you know what we should do ? i 'm thinking i should keep this in case i decide i want to tell victor what really happened , but i wo n't , because then it might look like i was doing business with titan . brady : look , before you decline the offer , i want you to think about this , okay , give it some time . madison : you know what you should do , you should take this here money , and you should buy your lady love a single long - stemmed rose . i 've always thought that was such a romantic gesture . brady : it is a very romantic gesture , but ... victor : sorry for the interruption . madison : no apologies needed , victor . it was your fiancée . victor : well , have you decided to accept our most generous offer ? madison : not exactly . brady : she turned us down flat . victor : well , a shrewd woman like miss james knows better than to accept a first offer . what can we do to sweeten the pot ? brady : oh , i sweetened it already , and she still is n't biting . the thing i do n't know , madison , is , why would you take this meeting if you had no intention of making a deal whatsoever ? madison : that 's my counter offer . this is what i 'm gon na need in order to sell you mad world cosmetics . brady : [ laughs ] madison : so ? what do you say , titans ? we have a deal ? [ scene_break ] nicole : you are running for mayor as a first step towards national office , and you want me to do your p.r . ? ej : precisely . nicole : why ? i mean , come on , i 'm hardly qualified to do p.r . , and i am certainly not your number one fan . you could have any high - powered , big name firm you want . ej : right , totally . but , you see , the thing about a high - powered , big - name firm is they do n't know me . you know me . okay , you know how to spin my strengths . nicole : yeah . hide your weaknesses . ej : exactly . exactly . nicole , in my entire life , the only person i 've ever trusted myself to be myself around is you . nicole : what is this really about , ej ? [ scene_break ] marlena : okay , roman , just go ahead and say it . tell me you think john is guilty . roman : no , i do n't . marlena : i 'm glad to hear you say that . roman : besides , he 's a very wealthy man . he does n't need other people 's money . marlena : yeah , well , as long as we 're being open with each other , that 's not entirely true . john still has his wealth , but he does n't have the kind of money that he used to . roman : who does these days ? marlena : yeah . see , basic black took a big hit with the recession , and john 's income is tied to company profits . roman : okay , i get the picture . marlena : anyway , my point in saying that is that john 's wealth then and his wealth now are very different things , and i think the authorities have tried to use that information to make it appear that john had a motive for embezzlement . roman : all right . well , looking guilty and being guilty are two entirely different things , so try not to worry , okay ? it may take some time , but i guarantee you , john will be proven innocent . okay ? doc ... hang tough , all right ? you have made it through worse than this , and so has john . marlena : roman , i had a dream that , when we came back to salem , all the hard times would be behind us . that was such a nice dream . [ scene_break ] bo : a lot of folks are demanding we go medieval with john for taking all their money . hope : i 've been listening to my messages . most people were just venting , but i 'm not so sure about this guy . listen . john black is scum . i trusted him with my family 's future , and he kicked us to the damn gutter . i wanted to die when i heard . die for what trusting that bastard cost my wife and kids . then i had a better idea . john black should die . hope : what do you think ? should we trace the call , arrest him ? that was a death threat . bo : it was close , but not quite . hope : it sounded awfully ominous . bo : yeah . a lot of folks out there just like him . hope : what is it ? bo : we 're gon na have to put more guards on john when we take him over to the courthouse . hope : that 's a good idea , brady . listen , what if there 's trouble ? what if the guards assigned to him look the other way ? like lauritano did last night . bo : i 'll choose those guards myself . people i can trust . we got to keep john safe . marlena : did something happen that i do n't know about ? i should stab him in the back like he did all us little people . i hope john black burns in hell . bo : sorry you had to hear that . but we needed you to understand the level of anger out there . hope : so many people lost every ... last cent they had . unions , companies . even the city of salem had their pension funds wiped out . and they all blame john . marlena : i understand people 's anger . but to threaten his life ? bo : yeah , it is -- it is getting ugly . marlena : whatever happened to innocent till proven guilty ? hmm ? john is innocent . he did n't do those terrible things . hope : we know that . because we know john . bo : and the truth will come out . john will be exonerated . but right now people ca n't see past the fact that they 've been wiped out . they 're full of fear and anger . they need to focus their upset on someone . hope : and unfortunately that someone is john . bo : so for that reason , we 're gon na assign more guards to protect him on the way to the courthouse . hope : we 'll do everything we can to keep him safe . marlena : like you did last night ? i feel so much better now . [ scene_break ] madison : so do we have a deal or not ? victor : well , i think i 'll let brady break the news to you . brady : madison james , welcome to titan . madison : well , thank you very , very much . victor : you drive a hard bargain . madison : when i 'm not driving my bentley , sir . victor : further testament to your well - deserved success . you 're a very savvy businesswoman . tough , shrewd , and driven . just kind of the mogul we like to do business with . madison : well , thank you . i am so glad that you did n't believe any of the negative press i seem to be getting lately . victor : never heard any . madison : oh , really ? i 'm surprised . victor : i 'm sure any unflattering remarks came from people who were jealous of you and your success . do n't pay any attention to that nonsense . madison : i do n't . i know exactly who i am when i 'm good and when i 'm bad . victor : well , we should probably have a little toast to our new alliance . due to the hour , i think maybe we should do it with coffee . madison : oh , you know what ? i 'm out . i drank all of mine . brady , would you mind asking the hostess to bring some fresh coffee ? brady : i 'll do you better than that . i 'll get it myself . victor : oh , and some sweetener . [ laughter ] madison : oh , you make quite a team , you and brady . i 'm impressed . very impressed . [ scene_break ] ej : you think i have an ulterior motive in offering you a job ? nicole : can you blame me ? ej : okay . nicole , look , given our history , no . just for me , just put your suspicions to one side and hear what i have to say . nicole : okay , ej . give it your best shot . ej : i need somebody who 's unfettered by the old rules of engagement . see , these ad agencies , they -- they have an attitude . they want to do things their way , which is the same way that they do things for everybody . what i need is somebody who 's brazen . i need somebody who 's unafraid . i need somebody who can help me win this election in a landslide . nicole : no pressure there . ej : i need somebody who can convince the people of this town that the dimeras are doing things a new way , a better way , by being better themselves . nicole : oh , are you saying you 're going to be good again ? ej : oh , good god , no . no , no , no , no . that 's what i want people to think , darling , okay ? and you have to convince them for me . nicole : so this new - and - improved ej , it 's just for show . you are still a dirty , rotten scoundrel . ej : no , darling , i 'm a dirty , charming scoundrel . nicole : you know what , i know that i should be running out that door right now , but i just ca n't seem to tear myself away from this train wreck . ej : i pay very well . nicole : well , you should to be a miracle worker . ej : so you accept my offer ? good . nicole : hey , wait a minute . all right , how about this ? what about my past ? what if it comes back to haunt me and that hurts you , hmm ? ej : i thought about that . i thought about it . and this is how i 'm gon na spin it , okay ? you turned your life around . you reinvented yourself , right ? and that 's what you 're doing for me . nicole : i have n't accepted the job . ej : okay , no , no , but , listen , this is easy , okay . it 's a simple story . besides which , everybody loves a comeback story . everybody loves to believe in the power of redemption . right ? see , this is not as tough a job as you think . nicole : [ stammers ] i ca n't believe -- this is ridiculous . i ca n't believe i 'm listening to this . no . look , ej , i told you last night . i do n't want to be with anyone , not you , not brady , no one . ej : so that 's a yes , is it ? nicole : oh ! [ scene_break ] madison : cheers . brady : hear , hear . victor : well , i suppose the first order of business should be to move mad world 's headquarters here to salem . brady : yes , and you 'll need showroom space as well . madison : well , what about right here in the square ? i get the sense that this is the place to be . you know , it 's new , it 's fresh , and it has all the charm of a downtown . brady : yes , it does . everything you 're saying is true . victor : do you know kate dimera ? madison : we 've met on several occasions . i know that she plans on relaunching her cosmetics firm , countess wilhelmina . victor : her company would be direct competition to mad world . madison : until i put her out of business . brady : well , the thing is , kate is planning on opening up a showroom and an office in this square as well . it might be better if you -- madison : settle for a strip mall ? brady : oh , i did n't say that . of course not . madison : if kate dimera plans on opening her showroom here in the square , then you can be damned sure that 's where i 'm gon na be too . [ scene_break ] hope : marlena , we are just as upset over what happened to john . bo : the guard responsible is being punished . if i have my way , he 'll be fired for what he did . marlena : john had just gotten back the use of his legs . he could have been paralyzed again . hope : we know . i 'm sorry . i promise you , it will not happen again . marlena : all right , i 'm sorry i snapped . bo : it 's okay . we understand . you 're upset . marlena : i was with him the whole time , you know . i was at his side day and night as he fought to try to walk again . there were no mysterious emails or faxes . there were no hushed conversations with people from basic black . just john ! torturing himself , trying to get back on his feet .

[ stammers ] it could . perhaps it could , but i think moving , leaving town has got to be our last resort . nicole : okay . daniel : okay , okay . nicole : you 're right . it 's just that that ... that dream and everything else that 's going on , i guess it 's just driving me crazy . daniel : i know it is . i know it is , and i know you 're scared , but , i mean , for us to just pack up and move west ... i do n't know . i mean , my mother 's here , and my practice ... nicole : i know . daniel : is right here . nicole : i know . i know how devoted you are to maggie . daniel : look , besides , you know , there are plenty of other ways this could all play out . nicole : [ scoffs ] that was a stupid idea . i know i have a lot of those . daniel : no , listen . listen to me . i made a promise to you that i will protect you and that baby , and i am going to stick by that . you have my word . nicole : i know i do . and i 'm more grateful than you can imagine . daniel : okay , i got to -- i got to , um -- i got to run to work , all right ? so , um , you 're gon na -- you 're gon na be okay ? nicole : yeah , sure , i 'll be -- i 'll be fine . daniel : great . well , i will , um -- i will see you later , and then we 'll , um -- we 'll look for a place for you to stay , okay ? nicole : okay . daniel : we 'll figure this out . okay .

[ chuckles ] i feel somewhat , um , insensitive going on about my son and his needs . so i hope you can forgive me if it seems callous . jennifer : you know what , aunt maggie ? life goes on . and you 're devoted to your son , as you should be , and that is not callous or insensitive . maggie : thank you for understanding . jennifer : yes , i do . i understand that you want to protect your son . and i was trying to protect daniel , and that 's what got him so upset with me , which is why he does n't want me involved in his life anymore . maggie : i know that 's not true . jennifer : aunt maggie , i know it is true . that 's why your insistence that he needs me to think well of him -- it does n't make any sense . maggie : it does to me . jennifer : no , it does n't ! he 's not acting that way . he 's actually dismissive of my opinions . maggie : well , maybe you overreacted . i ca n't -- i ca n't believe that daniel would be dismissive of you . jennifer : well , he is . and i know you 're trying to help , but i have not lost my mind , and i have not lost all perspective -- i promise you . maggie : i 'm sorry if you think i 'm judging you . jennifer : i do n't think that you 're judging me . i just ... i know you 're trying to help your son , and you do n't want him to be stressed and unhappy . i get that -- i do . maggie : honey , i do n't want that for you either . jennifer : i know . maggie : so , jennifer , look ... i will tell you that given daniel -- that he ca n't be a surgeon any longer . i mean , you know how passionate he was about his work . jennifer : i do know that . maggie : and then there 's more heartbreak for him because his daughter left . jennifer : i know , but she 'll be back , aunt maggie . maggie : well , we hope so , but we do n't know when . anyway , the point is that with all of this upheaval in his life , more than ever , daniel needs to know that the people he cares about are there for him . jennifer : no , that 's where you 're exaggerating my importance in his life . maggie : no , i 'm not . i 'm not . trust me , jennifer . you see , that 's why i think this is tearing him apart -- to think that you 're not his friend anymore .

you need to do better than that childish attempt you just made . theresa : you know , younger works for him , jenny . so , just so you know . jennifer : [ laughs ] no , because he does n't use children the way you do . my son is a very confused , young man , and he 's going through a tough time . theresa : hmm . jennifer : and you will stay away from him and let him heal . you are the last thing he needs in his life right now . kayla : i 'm sorry , jj . jj : what about my dad were you going to say ?

he had this thing where he would take off on some adventure . and i know that mom and abigail resented it . but you know what , i get it . especially being around this town . it 's real hard to breathe here . kayla : jj , give it a chance . a real chance . i got ta go . jj : not until you get it all out . kayla : what ?

abigail : you are the problem . you should 've just been honest with me , cameron . if you were n't interested in me that way , you could 've just said that . cameron : i could n't say that , abigail . i could n't say that because it was n't true . stefano : family can be very compelling . ah . chad : you know , especially this family . we , uh , compel each other a lot . stefano : only for the greater good . chad : that 's an interesting interpretation of what ej did with me . stefano : as a matter of fact , i thought he would be here by now . chad : yeah , i saw him earlier . he went to find sami . stefano : ah . chad : yeah . it seems they had a minor disagreement about where to live . stefano : yes , but do n't worry . they 'll both be back here very soon . ej : samantha , please do n't say anything , just not yet . sami : oh , ej , you have to let me talk . ej : just -- look , i understand . things seem impossible . i recognize that . sami : well , it is n't . it 's just -- ej : but they 're not . there is a way to insulate you from my father . sami : no , there is n't , ej . ej : you 're wrong . sami : what are you talking about , ej ?

i 'm sorry . ej : i - i do know how difficult it is for you to consider moving back into the mansion . sami : not as difficult as this is for you . and that is the other reason i panicked . 'cause the idea of you having to live there with your father -- if -- ej : just do n't . okay , no . just -- just leave it . sami : you went to hell for me . and i 'm not gon na leave you alone in it . you see , ej , what i realize is that it does n't matter where we are . and it does n't matter who else is there . as long as i have you and our kids , then nothing else matters to me . stefano : so , join me for a game . chad : i do n't play much chess . it 's a little inactive for me . stefano : hey , it is exercise for the brain , my son . chad : yeah , whatever . stefano : well , anyway , how is abigail ? chad : she 's good . stefano : mm - hmm . chad : we 're good . stefano : and cameron -- is he still a problem ? chad : how do you even -- [ chuckles ] you know what , never mind . should n't surprise me that you know . stefano : you know , i have to know what 's going on with my children all the time . chad : yeah . and someday , i 'll have to spot whoever it is you have tailing me . stefano : [ laughs ] chad : now that would be a useful skill in this family , now would n't it ? stefano : so , do you need help with cameron ? chad : [ chuckles ] no . no , no . thank you , but he 's backed off . abigail 's mine . abigail : i do n't understand . cameron : okay , well , okay . maybe i was n't real -- was n't real clear . but i am putting my career first , so i felt like we could only be friends for now . abigail : `` for now `` ? cameron : abigail , why are we having this conversation ? i mean , you said it yourself . you 're with chad and you 're happy . and you know what , i 'm happy for you . okay ? abigail : [ groans ] how is men not a four - letter word ?

daniel : it 's mutual , really . maggie : really ? daniel : yes , it is . maggie : oh , okay . daniel : it 's mutual . maggie : it 's very clear to me that you still love jennifer . and yet , for the first time in this , this round and around about all of this , i just get the feeling that you really are letting her go . daniel : i am . i mean , i do n't want to . but it 's the only thing i can do . so how about it ? how about it ? a family reunion . will you please , please just think about it ? maggie : of course . i 'll talk to victor . and i 'll see what he 's got going for the next few months . daniel : thank you . theresa : you have no idea what a drag you are to everyone around you . you know what , went i first met jj , he was so cute . he was so proud to bring me home . he was trying to impress me . he wanted to show me how great he actually is . but then you walked in and treated him like he was 12 years old . you humiliated him . jennifer : you do not know -- theresa : no , i saw his face , jenny . and then he talked to me about it afterward . you make him feel so small . it 's like you do n't really even see him for who he really is . jennifer : you know what , that is enough . theresa : no , he told me that all you care about is yourself and getting on with your on life . and he even told me that you did n't offer to let him come home after his dad died . jennifer : i am not gon na discuss my personal life with you ! theresa : oh , no ! god forbid that you take time to talk about your own son . you know what ? jj 's doing just fine without you . jennifer : oh , yes . perhaps by your standards , he is , theresa . theresa : by his standards ! you know , he never intended to live the way that you wanted him to . it was all an act . and he put it on for as long as he could . and he was so proud of how he fooled you . we just laughed about it . but you know what the sad part is ? even after all that , deep down inside , he still loved you . and what he really needed was for you to love him back . jennifer : you know what -- theresa : but you were n't there , jenny , you were n't there . jennifer : this is really unreal right now . theresa : jj was heartbroken over his dad , and you were n't there . jennifer : you shut up ! just shut your mouth ! jennifer : i am not going to stand here and listen to this garbage . you know nothing about jj 's father or jj . theresa : well , i know this . jj hates you now . jennifer : you stay away from him . or the trouble that you have had so far is going to look like a vacation at the beach . theresa : [ scoffs ] jennifer : are we clear ? ej : so can i please take you away now ? sami : what do you mean ? to chicago ? ej : yeah . sami : i thought you were only taking me there to get me away from stefano . ej : no . we 're celebrating your getting out of prison . i thought it would be nice . we can go away , we can take the kids , we can go out for around the lakefront . sami : oh , no , no . please stop . please stop . you 're tempting me to change my mind . ej : about what ? sami : i think we should go home . ej : `` home `` ? sami : to your -- stefano 's . ej : oh . you mean hell . sami : that 's the place . grandma and lucas -- they have the kids . they 'll be fine . i think we should go talk to stefano . ej : now why would you want to do that ? sami : lay down some ground rules . ej : oh , samantha , that sounds very ominous . sami : look , seriously . you promised him , did n't you ? you promised him that you would be a loyal son , that you would live in his house , that you would bring your family to live there . but you did n't do something crazy like promise that i would be happy about it , did you ? you did n't promise that i was all of sudden gon na be sweetness and light ? ej : well , yes -- but , no . no , i did n't . but i still do n't think that means that it 's necessarily a good idea to -- sami : come on , stop , stop . i think it could be fun . come on . have some fun with me . stefano : so no game ? chad : [ groans ] another time . stefano : ah . you should practice , you know . you need skills . chad : you mean the `` ruthlessly destroy your enemy `` kind of skills ? no thanks . i do n't need those skills . stefano : really ?

abigail : hmm , not possible . you 'll always be squirt . jj : if that 's your way of getting me back home -- abigail : actually that 's not why i 'm here . jj : what ? abigail : it does n't come out until later this week . jj : seriously , how come i do n't know about this ?

[ door closes ] brady : okay ... [ sighs ] this is not going to easy for me to talk about , so ... but i 'm just -- i 'm not going to sugarcoat it for you . the reason you were in a coma , dad , is because , um , we got in a fight at victor 's . and , uh ... i was , um -- i was drunk ... and i was high , and i was angry at you . and i , um -- i hit you . i hit you with a poker from the fireplace , and i knocked you -- i knocked you unconscious -- john : no , son , you did n't do that . with psoriatic arthritis , i had intense joint pain that got ej : i saw you playing with johnny and sydney yesterday . you were laughing and cavorting all the time you were planning on sending their father to prison . kate : [ scoffs ] sami 's children are going to be so much better without you in their life . ej : i see . destroying our family gives you some kind of pleasure , does it ? kate : no , that would be you . you know , even if you manage to wiggle out of going to prison , after only a few months , you and sami would screw it up again . and then your so - called family would be in pain ... all over again . ej : you know ... i understand your hatred towards my father . but why all the animosity toward me ? kate : because you are your father . victor : good god , woman , how can you be that judgmental ? caroline : why -- [ crying ] why 's everybody giving up on bo ? victor : nobody 's giving up on bo . i think about bo every day . so does hope . caroline : but she 's gon na divorce him and what 's -- run off with someone she does n't even know . victor : she 's being very honest ... with bo , with you , with ciara , with herself . look , like it or not , for whatever good reason ... bo essentially has abandoned her . caroline : but if -- i mean , if he comes back -- victor : if he does , or when , we 'll deal with it . in the meantime , hope is doing what she should -- being honest , moving on . nicole : oh , come on , aiden , what am i supposed to do , huh -- just guess who this amazing , mysterious woman is ? aiden : well , uh ... nicole : oh , uh , okay , well , you two enjoy your date . hope : you told her about our date ? aiden : no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . no , no . chase overheard me making a reservation . he had run up and mentioned it in front of nicole . nicole saw you , and then -- hope : aiden , it 's important that no one -- that people do n't know until i tell them . aiden : i know . no , no , i - i know . look , i 'll speak to nicole , all right ? and by the way , chase has no idea it 's you , all right ? and i assume that you have n't spoken to ciara about this -- hope : i 'm definitely not looking forward to that . but it has to happen soon . aiden : all right , well , then let 's just talk about us ...

[ monitor beeping ] john : it 's kind of amazing i woke up after all this time , is n't it ? what 'd they do -- find some kind of a miracle drug ? marlena : there 's a lot i need to explain to you . and there 's lots of time for that . the important thing right now is that you 're back . you came back . i was telling eric how grateful i am . john ? john : did you say eric 's here ? marlena : he 's right outside . john : could i see him ? daniel : get out . theresa : when i 'm done . daniel : i said , `` get out `` ! theresa : i know what you 're doing . daniel : are you on something ? theresa : you have a sick fantasy that i 'm the one who hit john , put him in a coma . and you just -- you ca n't wait to run around town telling anyone who will listen so you can turn them against me . well , you either forget it right here , right now , or i will sue your ass so hard that you 'll never come out of debt . daniel : well , that just terrifies me . theresa : you think i 'm joking ? daniel : well , if you did nothing wrong , then you have nothing to worry about . but if you did -- theresa : the only thing that i 'm worried about is you , because you hate me , and you want me gone . daniel : oh , i think you will be gone once john remembers . [ keys clacking ] you ever seen statesville ... from the inside ? theresa : you ca n't prove a thing . and if you start pushing your lies , you better hire a good lawyer , pal , because if you mess with me , i will mess right back , understood ? hey ! look at me .

[ monitor beeping ] john : [ groans ] theresa : and do n't think that you 'll just be dealing with lawyers , because i will be all over social media with this thing . everybody will know that you 're spreading stupid lies about me because i wrecked your chances with your precious jennifer . daniel : are you done ? theresa : and that includes your little boy . it 's going to be impossible to protect parker from hearing bad things about his player daddy . and sure , he might not understand what any of it means yet , but he 'll sure as hell get it at some point . so am i done ? not with you , never . so watch your mouth , because you 've got nothing on me when it comes to john black , not one thing . your final warning , daniel -- start spreading lies about me , and i will burn you down . victor : you know , it 's all over town that stefano 's royally pissed at you . ej : oh , i 'm sure he 's just upset that samantha and i are back together . after all , she and kate did rather publicly humiliate him . victor : oh , i think stefano 's unhappy about more than that . ej : sorry ? victor : he 's put the word out that no one is to extend credit to you ... for any reason . he 's cutting off your air , ej . now , you know , normally i do n't mix business with pleasure , but i sense a real royal showdown coming here . and i 'd like to have a ringside seat . caroline : i love you , hope . always have . hope : i love you too ... a lot . caroline : okay , it is settled . you have to move on . do what you have to do . hope : thank you . caroline : oh , and -- and the fellow -- what 's his name ? hope : [ chuckles ] aiden . caroline : aiden , aiden . well ... please , tell him from me , from a woman who 's memory is not what it should be -- tell him that , you know , sometimes the best thing to do is just forget about it . hope : [ laughs ] [ exhales deeply ] brady : i pushed him so far away . i hurt him -- i hurt him so badly . and then when i finally -- when i finally realized , i just -- i do n't -- i do n't think -- i think it 's too late . marlena : it 's not too late . we 're lucky . we 've got him back . and that 's all that matters . what ? brady : it was n't just luck . we had help , and there is something i need to do . i 'm gon na have to thank kristen . daniel : [ exhales deeply ] [ knock at door ] daniel : no . no ! oh , for the love of god ! kristen : i did n't have any choice , okay ? look , i would like nothing more than to meet you at the hospital , but there 's a restraining order against me , so i ca n't . so i followed you over here because i want to know if john is remembering . daniel : what , who hit him over the head ? kristen : exactly . because theresa should not be allowed to get away with it . daniel : no . she should n't . eric : it 's just that john -- he specifically said that he wanted some rest , so ... oh , yeah , no problem . all the monitors are seen here at the desk . there 's no need to disturb him . eric : that 's great . thank you . absolutely . theresa : hey , i heard that you were talking to john . how 's he doing ? eric : he 's better all the time . he 's stronger , clearer . yeah , i mean , he 's doing a lot better and remembering a lot more than anybody thought he would . theresa : about ? eric : about the night that he got in a fight with brady . excuse me . john : [ sighs deeply ] brady : do you know what happened to you ? john : eric ! ... talk to you about brady . you know that he 's back drinking ... you know that he 's back drinking again and god knows what else . he wo n't listen to a damn thing i have to say -- eric : john , he 's not gon na listen to me either . brady : i 'm so angry -- eric : he still blames me for what happened with kristen . john : that 's just irrational . it 's like everything else he 's doing these days , like hanging out with theresa donovan . brady : do you know what happened to you ? theresa : mr. black , this is theresa donovan . i need to talk to you in person . i 'm at victor 's house . brady : how could i do this ? john : ah , he took a rap to the head . he might have a concussion . theresa : he 's just drunk , okay ? he 's gon na sleep it off , and then he 'll be fine . john : you do n't seem very worried . brady : do you know what happened to you ? john : where the hell did you get that -- out of a cracker jack box ? theresa : no , i got it from my new husband , actually . brady and i were married today . brady : do you know what happened to you ? theresa : i have a proposal for you . john : yeah , what 's that ? theresa : i 'll help you , if you make it worth my while . you write a check , i go back to nevada , have the whole marriage annulled , and you and i can forget this whole thing ever happened . let 's say ... a cool one mil . brady : you have no idea what it means to hear your voice . john : theresa , he does n't love you , and when he really gets to know you , he 's gon na hate you for the selfish , lying , little loser whore that you are . theresa : stay away from him ! john : just back off ! it was theresa ! | hope told victor and maggie that she 's divorcing bo and that she met aiden . aiden met nicole at the town square and she wanted to know who he 's dating . kate did n't think ej 's relationship with sami would last . kate let ej know that she will make sure he goes to jail . anne told theresa that john was waking up and that she should be worried . john woke up with marlena and brady at his side . john was shocked that he was in a coma so long . brady told john that he was drunk and hit him with a poker . john told him that he did n't do it . ej did n't understand why kate had so much animosity towards him . kate said it 's because he 's become his father . victor went to caroline and called her out for the way she treated hope when she found out that she was divorcing bo . caroline did n't want to give up on bo . victor did n't want to give up on him either , but he felt that hope needed to move on with her life . john did n't believe that brady would hit him with a poker . john asked daniel what really happened the night he was hit . |

not to mention using dario . talk about low . deimos : why ? he came to me . he wanted a job . and since you followed me and eavesdropped on us , you already heard that it was n't like we took pleasure in what we were doing . nicole : oh , so , if everyone feels bad about it , then it 's okay ? deimos : okay , fine . you know what ? why do n't we just skip to the part where you followed me . nicole : self defense . deimos : i ca n't do this . nicole : what ? deimos : i do n't want to fight with you , nicole . i already feel like someone died . i thought i had a child on the way . you know what that feels like better than anyone . nicole : but you do n't . deimos : you 're right . i do n't . nicole : it gets easier . well , not easier , but further away . and you found out sooner than later , so that helps . and you 're right . i know exactly how much it hurts . aiden : you know , andré kept telling me that you killed stefano . but i did n't want to believe it . that man 's a liar . could n't believe it . but when i told you about it , you lied to me . hope : you want to talk about lying ? aiden : oh , no , no , no , no . hope , i wanted to believe you . i really did . i mean , this is so out of character for you . to kill somebody in cold blood . even if we are talking about stefano dimera . how could that happen ? hope : should i speak into the microphone ? aiden : i 'm not recording . i do n't need anything else . i 'm asking . hope : i was out of my mind . i snapped . i do n't even remember half of the things that stefano said . i do n't remember pulling the trigger . aiden : rafe and roman , they 'd do anything for you , right ? hope : i would have confessed . i wanted to confess . i did . but all i could think was ciara ... aiden , i could n't leave her . i could n't leave her . chloe : did n't you get my text ? nicole : no , i - i did n't . chloe : would you please excuse us ? deimos : yeah , sure . nicole : no , no , no , no . not yet . he has something he needs to tell you . deimos : really ? is this a deal breaker ? okay , fine , um ... chloe , i had dario following you . he broke into your place . he saw your calendar . and that 's how i knew that you had a doctor 's appointment in brookville . and i 'm sorry . chloe : well , you 'll be sorry in prison , 'cause i 'm calling the cops . nicole : chloe -- deimos : see ? chloe : are you listening to this ? nicole : do n't call the cops . all right , just calm down . could you just ... give us a moment , please . deimos : absolutely . take all the time you need . nicole : sit down . chloe : okay , how can you listen to what that man is saying and sit here and hold his hand and act like that was normal ? nicole : well , uh , in all fairness , he thought you were lying to him about the baby . and p.s . , he was right about that . but he 's gon na leave you alone now . he apologized . chloe : barely . nicole : chloe , it 's done . it 's over , except for the fact that he 's a wreck . can you just let it go ? chloe : what do you mean , he 's a wreck ? nicole : he wanted to be a father so much . he was attached to the idea . to your baby . now he thinks it 's never gon na happen . so yes , i can hold his hand because i know exactly how he feels . hope : just tell me what happens . what do you want from me ? aiden : [ sighs ] i wo n't do anything . hope : what ? what does that mean ? aiden : you behind bars wo n't help anything . stefano dimera destroyed so many lives , including mine . look , the world is a better place with him gone . hope : what , that 's it ? we just ... we just go on like none of this happened ? aiden : well , i did n't say that . hope : what are you saying ? i mean , what do you want ? aiden : i want you . john : all right , turns out we 're gon na have power for at least another hour . marlena : okay , so that means you can get a hot bath if you want . claire : thanks . marlena : why do n't i check in the fridge , see if i can cook something up before it spoils . claire : okay , stop . john : now , come on , pumpkin . you got ta get some food in you . claire : no , stop being so nice to me . seriously , you guys should be furious . marlena : we 're too relieved to be angry . claire : okay , then , let me be angry for you . i was completely stupid and irresponsible to go outside when you all told me to stay in . okay ? wi - fi is not worth it . webpage hits just do n't matter when there are psycho criminals roaming the earth . and it 's my own fault that i got nabbed . and i should have stayed inside , and i 'm sorry for putting everyone else in danger -- john : no , no , no , no . you did n't put anybody in danger . i 'm gon na hang that on the goons that took the two of you . but yeah . next time , stay inside . claire : i will , i will . i promise . marlena : we 're just so glad you 're safe . claire : come on . i hope joey is too . kayla : thank you . steve : how 'bout some tea ?

[ sighs ] andre : also , it 's very painful , i 'm sure . kate : will really was an extraordinary young man , you know . andre : i 'd heard that . kate : he was -- he was so smart and he was kind ... and he was such a gifted writer . andre : and everybody , i hear , who knew him loved him , apparently . kate : yeah , they did . you know , because ... you know , he had that thing that people have where when you 're with them , they make you feel like you 're so very important to them , you know ? he 'd always give his undivided attention . andre : well , that 's unusual for young people , is n't it , 'cause they 're always on the phone tweeting and texting and tweeting . kate : that 's true . but not will . thank you . at least not with me . andre : you were close , were n't you ? kate : we were . we were close . but you know , i ... i just did n't spend enough time with him . i really didn't . and he was such great company . we had so much fun together , you know ? he was so charming and funny and ... and he really reminded me of lucas so much . they had the same humor , and they both had such big hearts . andre : listen , i 'm sorry that lucas had a relapse . kate : i know , i know . i am too . [ sighs ] god , i just wish that i could help him . i really do . but ... andre : have you heard anything about ben ? kate : ah , yeah , i called hope , and i guess that he refused to say anything else until he had a lawyer , so ... not that it makes any difference , because everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie . andre : yes , but knowing that , it does n't make it any easier , him saying that will was alive . ca n't imagine what -- how that must have affected you . kate : how it affected everyone . but how it affected me was that it brought back that ... horrible , horrible moment when we found out that he was gone forever . andre : yes , and him saying that will was alive , even though he 's a lunatic ... but there ... was a moment there that you hoped . [ melancholy music ] kate : hope is a cruel thing . i never hope anymore . abigail : you know , when i saw ben today , i thought i was losing my mind again , just for a minute . then i saw that he was real . i was actually more afraid of him when i thought he was n't there . chad : yeah , i get that . abigail : i 'm not sick anymore . i 'm strong . healthy . chad : with a hell of a right hook . abigail : mm - hmm . pretty satisfying to , uh ... chad : put him on his ass ? abigail : yes . i did n't feel like i really needed to hurt him like i did before , but i did feel like it was important just to make sure that he knew he was n't dealing with the same person . he can not control me . ca n't manipulate me . chad : well , i think you definitely proved that . and there was 50 people including myself who would never have let him hurt you . you got to admit , though , it was ... it was pretty awesome watching you be the one to take him down . abigail : yeah , i think so too . i 've come a long way , baby . chad : we both have , baby . abigail : we 're gon na make it through this . and so are sonny and paul . i just wish we 'd hear from them . jj : you know that ben 's story is a load of bull . paul , i was on the force . will 's body was taken to the morgue . his parents came in and identified him . i loved will ; we all did . but there 's no way in hell this could be true . sonny : you think i 'm gon na help you hurt abigail ? i do n't need to hear any more of these lies . ben : but you 're not sure i 'm lying . not really . or else you would n't be hanging on to my every word .

[ gentle music ] lani : stop right there . hi , my name is sam davis and i 'm going to tell you about exciting plans available to anyone with medicare . many plans provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs . with original medicare , you 're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits , but you have to meet a deductible for each and then you 're still responsible for 20 % of the cost . next , let 's look at a medicare supplement plan . as you can see , they cover the same things as original medicare and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co - insurance . but they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage . now , let 's take a look at humana 's medicare advantage plans . with a humana medicare plan , hospital stays , doctor office visits and medicare deductibles are covered . and , of course , most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage . in fact , in 2018 , humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $ 7400 , on average , on their prescription costs . most humana medicare advantage plans help you stay active and keep fit by including a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost . and , you may be able to save on dental and vision expenses , because coverage is now included with most humana medicare advantage plans . you get all this coverage for as low as a zero dollar monthly plan premium in many areas . and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana 's large network . if you want the facts , call right now for the free decision guide from humana . there is no obligation , so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network ; to find out if you can save on your prescriptions and to get our free decision guide . licensed humana sales agents are standing by , so call now .

[ both chuckling ] seriously , why did he do it ? why would he marry vivian -- again ? justin : well , i guess he thought that if he gave in and married her that she 'd leave bo and carly alone . adrienne : has anyone told victor that sometimes people get married because they love each other ? justin : actually ... i think he 's lucky . adrienne : lucky ? justin : ahh ... this divorce is just an inconvenience to him . it hurts like hell when you divorce someone you really love . adrienne : yeah , i know .

[ imitates gun firing ] done and done . well , now that i 've basically guaranteed gabi a job , i should -- i should probably get a job for myself . that 'd be smart . got ta pull your weight , nick . will : okay ... listen , i know that a deal had to be made , and believe me , i 'm the happiest person alive that you 're out of prison . but now that everything 's said and done , and you 're cleared , does ej really have to honor his promise to stefano ? i mean , ca n't we kind of -- sami : i ca n't get into the specifics , okay ? but you have to understand that we do n't have a choice . listen , if sonny had done something like this for you , would you walk away from him just because things did n't turn out exactly as you 'd pictured them ?

ej : it 's handled . the medical records have been authenticated . chad : wow , how did you do that ? ej : oh , you do n't want to know . just know that they will now fully illustrate your treatments and your recovery going forward . and that is the truth in so far as anybody who inquires will know . chad : well , look , i know that this is a normal day at the office for you , ej , but thank you . seriously . ej : come here , you 're welcome . chad : but i do n't like the idea of lying to abigail forever , though , all right ? ej : chad , take it from me . there is never a good time to tell your girlfriend that you lied to her ex - boyfriend about a brain tumor . chad : yeah , you 're probably right about that . ej : you say you love this girl ? chad : i do , yeah . ej : okay . not living in truth is a small sacrifice to make sure you keep the person you love . abigail : aunt kayla ... hi . kayla : hi , abigail . abigail : mom , um , why do n't i go to the hospital and get that paperwork that you wanted from your office . jennifer : yeah . thank you . i appreciate that . i 'm really sorry . do n't take that personally . we were just talking about the past -- it 's just fresh ... kayla : i understand . i understand . i do . jennifer : so can you tell me what happened ?

what did you say ? wh -- kayla : i just said that -- that jack was n't perfect , and ... his father was no saint . jennifer : kayla , what -- kayla : i do n't know why i said it . i do n't know what came over me . honestly , i do n't . i mean ... i do n't know , maybe it 's still alive for me . then he started talking about daniel , and i ... i do n't know . jennifer : no , i understand why you said it , i do . kayla : no . no , no , no . you know what ? it was wrong . i wish i could take it back . jj started asking me all these details , and i did n't say another thing , i just left . jennifer : right . and that 's why he went to his sister and asked what you meant . kate : she did n't say anything either , did she ? jennifer : no , she did n't say anything , but , kayla , i know my son . he 's not gon na let this go . adrienne : jj , i know you 've been asking around for a place to stay , and i want to be up front with you . you ca n't stay here . you really need to go home and mend your fences with your mother . oh , honey , we all love you very much , and we 're all very upset about all this . jj : yeah , yeah , i mean , i know all that . and i 'm actually seeing everyone else 's side of it . adrienne : good . good . jj : and i 've been thinking about this lately , and i really want to go home . and i 'm so appreciative of what uncle justin has done for me . wow , so much . i want a fresh start , and maybe i can have one . adrienne : oh , honey , that 's so great . i 'm so proud of you . come on , why do n't you make yourself comfortable . i 'll make you a celebratory sandwich . ham and cheese , right ?

deimos : i assure you your business interests down at the docks have not been compromised . justin : on behalf of the kiriakis family , the salem pd has our deepest apologies . it was never our intent to put any innocent lives in danger . philip : it 's all there in black and white . in the last 24 hours , over half the companies that do business with us have pulled their shipments from the docks we control . the longer they hold out , the bigger the hit to titan 's bottom line . theresa : did titan relocate its offices ? brady : the power is out down there . all hell is breaking loose -- philip : thanks to brady jumping the gun . theresa : yeah , he was protecting his family . philip : he could 've cost us the family business . deimos : all right , philip , there 's no point in casting blame right now . we have way too much work to do . sonny : brady , `` the spectator `` wants a statement . deimos : i 'm sorry , but we really have to keep our focus on the task at hand right now , okay ? so i hope -- i 'm sure you understand . thank you . thank you . chad : you 're serious ? you want me to -- you want to bring andré back to the company ? kate : on a trial basis , yes . chad : okay , so it seems you 've forgotten my plan to rebrand dimera enterprises into something that is actually reputable and trustworthy . kate : of course not . chad : yet you recommend re - hiring somebody who was once the epitome of everything my father stood for . kate : chad , you have to hear me out . chad : no -- my -- i am making these changes to honor abby 's memory and to create a legitimate legacy for our son . now , tell me how bringing back andré is gon na do anything but undermine that plan . kate : andré knows the ins and outs of dimera enterprises . and andré is family . chad : family or not , his business tactics are questionable at best and , more often than not , reprehensible . sorry . i ca n't run a company and watch my back at the same time . andré : you wo n't have to , i assure you . you give me this chance , i 'll play your game . i also think it 's only fair that i be part of this family business again . [ glass shattering ] gabi : you want in , you 're gon na have to get through us . aldo : you do n't want to mess with me , chica . gabi : oh , my god . wait a minute . you 're -- you 're that creep who attacked me . aldo : you 're the hernandez girl -- the one who pepper - sprayed me . you know how long that stuff burned my eyes ? gabi : hey , get lost or get burned , man , okay ? aldo : this does n't have to get ugly . gabi : it 's too late for that . aldo : we know you got some nice loot inside that store -- expensive jewelry -- and i 'm guessing it 's insured . let us have it , we 'll be on our way . gabi : oh , no , no , no , no , that is not gon na happen . brady : i take full responsibility for the raid . i got intel from what i thought was a credible source that there was suspicious activity going down at the docks . i had to make an on - the - spot decision . i made it . deimos : yeah , well , as i 'm sure you can see , it was n't the right one . brady : no , it was n't , and i did n't want this outcome , and i 'm sorry about the position i 've put titan in , but xander went after theresa , and he vowed to go after every member of this family . we have orpheus and clyde out there plotting against the rest of the town . they had to be stopped . i did something . justin : but they were n't , were they ? deimos : all right , you know what ? at this point , there 's no reason to rehash the how s or the why s . it does n't matter who called for the raid . philip : oh , the hell it does n't ! huh ? brady took it upon himself to make a decision that could bring titan crashing down around us . brady : and what if it was chloe or your baby that had been attacked ? you want to stand there and tell me that you would n't have done the same thing ? philip : do n't you bring chloe into this . brady : i ca n't undo what was done , all right ? what do you want from me ? what do you want ? philip : a guarantee ... that the next time your testosterone is pumping and you 're jonesing for some vigilante justice ... brady : oh , jesus . philip : you 'll think twice before acting on impulse . andré : you know , it seems that it was sonny kiriakis and brady black who ordered the ill - fated raid . chad : and i still do n't see how any of this plays into the dimeras gaining more business . kate : chad , give him a chance to explain . andré : since the bungled raid , there 's been a heightened police presence on the docks , and the powers that be in the import - exporting business are getting rather uneasy . the control of the docks is ours to take , and the potential money that will be coming in will flood the dimera coffers . all i 've got to do is make a few phone calls . chad : no , absolutely not . y ! you 're the- chad : great , now , so correct me if i 'm wrong , but are n't most of the players who operate down at the docks involved in illegal activity ? kate : well , we would just be providing ships for subsidiary companies . we would n't have to know what their cargo was . andré : and our hands would be clean . chad : not exactly . i mean , in order to get into business with these people , we 'd have to -- what ? we 'd have to pay off unions , customs officials -- god knows what else we 'd have to do . kate : well , chad , that 's how all business is run . chad : no , no , not -- not this one . okay , we are rebuilding dimera enterprises , all right ? we 're dimera great again , making a name that is not just feared , but revered . and how are we gon na do that when we are still involved in illicit activities ? kate : well , your idealism is very noble , but i think perhaps it 's time for a dose of harsh reality . chad : what are you talking about ? kate : chad , i went over the balance sheets as well , and that high - tech endeavor -- that 's just one of the ventures that 's going to have to be put on hold . chad : you know what ? no -- you 're not gon na scare me into changing my mind . kate : i 'm not trying to scare you . as the head of the company , you have every right to say no to an opportunity that i think , personally , would be lucrative . but the sad truth is if you want to leave anything to thomas other than pride in the dimera name , you 're going to have to rethink that decision . deimos : all right , you know what ? back off , everybody . listen , i agree that brady made a somewhat rash decision , but in a misguided attempt to protect his family . now , we certainly ca n't indict him for that . brady : why , thank you . philip : great . wonderful . and would n't it be heartwarming , now that we 're all getting along , if it actually helped the situation , if it did a damn thing for titan 's bottom line . sonny : i do n't see you coming up with any solutions , philip . philip : here 's a thought . before we go any further , how about we define our roles when it comes to kiriakis business ? deimos : that 's fine with me . justin : i agree . since sonny and i are the only members of the family officially employed at titan , i suggest we be out front , projecting a positive image . the rest of you can handle all the behind - the - scenes damage control . philip : we would n't need to do damage control if one of us had exercised some self - control . brady : see , see ? we 're not getting along yet , are we ? i mean , do i have to remind you of all the misguided , stupid things that you 've done that have reflected very poorly on us ?

[ line trills ] sonny : hey . i could really use a friend right now . call me if you 're free to meet up . kate : chad , you 've said yourself that the plans to develop a high - tech division at dimera are gon na cost much more than projected . chad : yeah , and our money that belle gave back is gon na help with that . kate : no . that money is already earmarked . chad : for -- for what ? kate : for debt incurred by dimera during your absence . chad : debt ? what debt ? nobody has told me anything about debt . kate : because no one wanted to bother you . you were taking care of abigail and her illness at the time . chad : how deep a hole are we in ? kate : well , at the current rate , i 'd say we 'll probably be filing for bankruptcy in six months . chad : [ scoffs ] six months ? andré : you know , we can still turn this around . chad : yeah , by going after the kiriakis holdings . andré : well , it 's not as unethical as you think . chad : why is it that everybody says that when they are about to do something completely unethical ? kate : chad , if you trust my judgment , then you 'll do this . it 's the only thing that 's going to keep the company afloat . and once dimera is on solid footing , we can divest of any holdings that you do n't feel comfortable keeping . chad : [ scoffs ] no ! i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't know . kate : it 's the only way to save the company and ensure your son 's legacy . chad : talk to the interested parties . see what our options are . clyde : hey , a man does crazy things when he 's backed into a corner , you know ? as much as i did n't mind putting a bullet in the mayor of salem , my real target was that bastard aiden jennings , and i got to stop that now . i got to focus on what 's important , which is family , which is ben . poor boy almost lost his mind when they took thomas away from him . and i 'm gon na right that . i 'm gon na grab that little tyke right out of that damn dimera 's arms , i 'm gon na get my boy out of prison , and the three of us are gon na have a reunion that we wo n't ever forget . adrienne : come on , baby , close those eyes and go to sleep . justin : i heard you and lucas were playing house in the dimera mansion . adrienne : justin , what do you want ? justin : you . i 've come to take you home . sonny : thank you for meeting me like this . chad : yeah . you sounded stressed in your voicemail . what 's up ? sonny : well , that 's an understatement . chad : i 'm guessing this is about the kiriakis business down at the docks ? sonny : you heard . chad : yeah . i heard titan 's taken a pretty big hit . sonny : yeah . a very big hit . chad : so , what do you want -- wondering if dimera 's gon na make it bigger ? pt on top of things . attorney , one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish . gabi : that 's him , dario . that 's the creep who attacked me . aldo : only because your brother told me to . deimos : i am speaking for victor kiriakis when i say that the kiriakis family will do everything in its power not to lose you . philip : i get that you 're feeling vulnerable with the heightened police presence , but i can guarantee your business is as secure as it ever was . deimos : it 's all right . it 's okay . look , i will call you , all right ? and we will make this right . i promise . philip : this is n't over . i 'll be in touch . deimos : we 're definitely gon na lose some money over this . philip : all thanks to brady . deimos : you really seem to have it in for him , philip . philip : his bungled heroics might have cost us the company , and i am sick of him justifying his ridiculously bad decision by using the , you know , `` it was all for the family `` card . deimos : well , surely you can relate to that better than anyone , ca n't you , considering the fact that you now have a child on the way ? philip : oh , that 's one hell of a non sequitur . deimos : really ? no . here 's the non sequitur : i heard chloe left town suddenly , and has no immediate plans to return . philip : i still do n't get what that has to do with brady playing the family card . deimos : two days ago , you told me that you were committed to staying with her and raising this child with her . philip : yeah , that 's true . not that it 's any of your damn business , but i had a change of heart . i decided the baby would be better off being raised by chloe alone . i know that may seem unfeeling to you , but i have my reasons , none of which i care to discuss with you . deimos : you can not be serious . philip : look , being a kiriakis is n't exactly father - of - the - year material , okay ? i gave up my son tyler to foster care , and look at my dad and me . deimos : it took my brother and me 30 years to make peace . i 'm confident that he will come to his senses a lot sooner with you . philip : do n't hold your breath . deimos : in the wake of this current crisis , i believe that victor 's gon na come to realize that the kiriakis men need to stop tearing each other down . the obvious answer is that there 's strength in numbers . and the only real , effective way for us to deal with the threats against this family is to deal with them together . adrienne : lucas and i moved in here to help chad with thomas . i mean , the poor kid is overwhelmed . between losing abigail and looking after his son and running dimera enterprises , he 's all -- justin : oh , i have a feeling chad 's got plenty of help running the family business . adrienne : what 's that supposed to mean ? you know what ? wait a minute . since when do you have a say in what i do and where i do it ? justin : i 'm sorry . it 's just that things are in crisis mode over at titan with this failed raid at the docks , and our son being smack - dab in the middle of it . adrienne : i heard that brady initiated that raid . justin : he did , but sonny insists on sharing the blame . he really could use your support right now . adrienne : and that 's why i should move into the mansion ? justin : lucas could come too , if you want . but you should know the war between the two families is heating up again . adrienne : how 's that possible ? stefano 's dead . justin : andré and chad are alive and well . adrienne : [ sighs ] well , i never trusted andré . but chad -- i have all the faith in the world that he would do the right thing . he has told me himself that everything he does is for this little boy . i will call sonny , but right now , really , honestly , justin , i got to get this baby down . justin : okay . take care of yourself . adrienne : you too . sonny : what happened at the dock was my fault . chad : i thought brady was the one who called in the raid . sonny : he did , because of the threat to his family , especially theresa and tate , but i should 've stopped him . chad : yeah , but it makes sense that you would n't . i mean , those psychopaths are terrorizing my family as much as yours . sonny : well , for me , i did n't do it to protect my family . i did it to get revenge on clyde weston for having me stabbed . chad : clyde weston 's the one that had you stabbed ? okay , well , revenge seems appropriate . sonny : i just figured if you heard the whole story , maybe it 'd be less likely you 'd take advantage of the fallout for titan . chad : i mean , come on , sonny , andré 's already looking at the possibilities . sonny : so , he 's back at dimera ? chad : yeah , yeah , he 's back for now . sonny : okay . well , if the consensus is to move on kiriakis territory , you 're the one that gets the final say , right ? chad : right . sonny : you know my uncle vic built titan on the shippingdet , dimera has lucrative interests in a number of ventures . you have the high - tech division . you have the clean energy -- chad : yeah , which are n't gon na turn a profit for at least a year . sonny : you do n't need our business , chad . chad : or maybe we do . look , dimera 's made a number of financial missteps over the past few months , okay ? and we 're struggling to stay afloat , so yes , we are looking for other things . sonny : i 'm asking as a friend : do not do this . chad : so -- dario : are you even gon na look at me ? huh ? gabi : you know what ? what kind of brother are you ? what is wrong with you ? do you know how scared i was , dario ? do you -- who would hire somebody to hurt me like that ? dario : i did n't hire aldo to go after you . i hired him to scare rafe . gabi : and why in god 's name would you want to hurt rafe ? dario : i wanted it to look like it came from eduardo 's past . gabi : what ? this -- this is all to make papi look bad ? dario : he is bad , okay ? he had no right to come back into our lives , gabi . gabi : dario , did you send that threatening note ? the one that he left town because of that note ? did you send that ? dario : no , gabi , i swear i did n't , but the fact that he got a note like that that calls him a murderer -- that says it all , do n't you think ? gabi : dario , all i ever wanted my whole life was our family to be together , and just when i thought that that was gon na happen , you went and you ruined it . dario : i was n't trying to hurt you . gabi : yeah , well , too late . dario : gabi , you ca n't tell jj about this , because if he finds out , i 'm -- gabi : just , please , dario , get out of my sight . dario : i 'm really sorry . andré : oh , i was just telling kate what i learned down at the docks . chad : i 'm listening . andré : it seems that the power players are looking for a change . chad : by `` change , `` you mean leaving titan . andré : and working exclusively with dimera enterprises . just give me the word , and i 'll make the call . brady : i asked them to hang in there until the dust settled . i did n't get the reaction i was hoping for . justin : sounds like andré got there before you . philip : and completely took advantage of the strain that raid put on their businesses . [ glass shattering ] brady : gentlemen , i ca n't tell you how sorry i am . philip : no , you ca n't , 'cause you do n't have a clue what you 've done . brady : you know , i 'm sick of your mouth . why do n't you back off ? philip : no way . my father spent his whole life building this company , and in one impulsive , thoughtless moment , you 've brought it to the point of collapse . theresa : how dare you attack him ? every one of you had a target on your backs , and brady was the only one willing to do what he thought was right to protect this family . shame on you . shame on all of you . jj : are you okay ? gabi : yeah . jj : the nightmare 's over . those guys wo n't be bothering you or anyone else for a long time . gabi : i just never want to see those guys again . jj : you still seem pretty upset . gabi : how could anything else happen with you always there to save me ? you 're my own personal superhero . hey , i could get used to that . [ giggles ] brady : babe , it 's okay . theresa : no . brady : it 's all right . theresa : no , it 's not okay . you know what ? you all talk about family , about how there 's nothing more important than standing together as one , and yet here you are tearing down the one member of your family who tried to protect you . and what 's worse : it 's just over some business deals gone wrong . brady : baby , baby , i can handle this . theresa : yeah , i know you can . there is nothing you ca n't handle . philip : except maybe that raid on the warehouse . theresa : oh , what have you done to protect anyone lately , philip , huh ? you know , i was n't that different than the rest of you a while ago , but then brady showed me that the only bottom line that matters is keeping the people you love happy and safe . and he is the kindest , smartest , most unselfish person i have ever known . so , you know what ? instead of tearing him down , how about you appreciate him , and you appreciate how damn lucky you are to have him in your lives ? look , i know it was n't my place . and yes , maybe i spoke out of turn , but i wo n't apologize , okay ? and i wo n't be shut down , br -- deimos : i have to agree with theresa . we need to stick together . otherwise , this threat from dimera could break us up if we do n't . sonny : i 'm not sure there is a threat . i spoke to chad . he did admit that andré was checking out the possibilities , but they never committed to anything . philip : did he give you his word they would n't ? sonny : no , but i asked him as a friend not to , so it definitely made him stop and think . philip : about how he was gon na face you when he stole all our business . sonny : no , no , i do n't think chad would do that . philip : because he 's your friend ? sonny : as a matter of fact , yes . justin : sonny , like i said earlier , this is n't about friendship . it 's about family . and just like you would , chad is going to make the best decision for his . unfortunately for us , this opportunity might be too good for him to pass up . chad : so , sonny practically begs me , in the name of our friendship , to not go after the kiriakis business . kate : what did you say ? chad : what could i say ? i said that we were looking into the possibilities , but we have n't committed to anything . kate : not yet . chad : kate , he 's my best friend . we 've been friends forever . kate : this is n't personal . it 's business . and if you want to save your business , then you 'll agree to make this deal . chad : are there any other options ? any other possibilities ? kate : i 've looked at every angle . adrienne : oh , here 's daddy . look at the baby . chad : hi ! there 's my sweet boy . i 've missed you . kate : oh , he 's missed you too . chad : at the end of the day , everything i do is for this little guy . is n't that right ? andré , make it happen . yes ! yes . hi . got to make it happen . clyde : so , you 're saying those dimeras got thomas in a virtual prison , huh ? right , and there ai n't no way in ? all right . thanks for the update , jeremiah . i do n't care what it takes or who 's got to get hurt . i 'm gon na bust in there and take that little kid . | kate tried to talk chad into letting andre work for dimera enterprises again . the kiriakis men talked about how brady and sonny 's plan to have the raid at the docks ruined their business . gabi and her friend were approached by looters . gabi recognized one of the looters as the one who attacked her . he threatened gabi , but she had pepper spray . andre told chad about titan losing money because of brady and sonny . chad did n't understand how that helped his company . andre and kate explained how it could benefit the company . chad wanted dimera enterprises to be a reputable company . the kiriakis ' continued to argue over losing money at titan . deimos got a call and found out things were worse than they thought . gabi tried to defend herself against the looters but aldo grabbed her . |
chloe : hey , lucas , it 's me again . i just have n't heard from you since you made that deal with bonnie . um , did she take you to see the baby ? is the baby with you right now ? i 'm just really worried about you . can you please call me back ? thanks . [ phone beeps ] eric : chloe , hey . hey , i was wondering -- is something wrong ? chloe : oh , um , i 'm just kind of worried that bonnie lockhart might be leading lucas down a wild goose chase now that she has what she wants from him . i -- i 'm sorry . what can i do for you ? eric : listen , i know i 've already asked you this , but i need to find out how i can contact nicole . chloe : eric , i told you . as far as i know , nicole dropped off the face of this earth when she left town . eric : listen , if you can think of any details ... anything that might help me find her , i just ... chloe , you 're my last hope . i 'm at a dead end . [ dramatic music ] eric : i need to talk to nicole . i figured you two might have been in touch since you 're holly 's grandma .

[ tense music ] chad : all right . so you think she 's sick again ? gabi : i think i 've seen signs of gabby , and stefan sure has . chad : all right , what are you -- who the hell are you hanging out with ? stefan -- [ stammers ] why would he say that ? abigail : i 'm on my way out , stefan . stefan : this is important . abigail : there 's nothing that you could say to me that i would find important . get out of here , please go . stefan : no , no , no . not until i talk to gabby . [ tense music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] [ both grunting ] eli : hold still ! sami : you wait one second ! what are you arresting me for ? eli : the judge that granted your bail specifically stated that you had to stay out of the kristen dimera investigation , and you ignored his order . sami : wait , says who ? eli : stefan dimera . sami : oh , and he 's a reliable source , really ? eli : he filed a formal complaint stating that you broke into his house , and in so many words , stated you were looking for kristen . sami : okay , and you bought that -- hold on ! just a second . you bought that ? eli : i had no choice . sami : okay , why are you harassing me ? why are n't you out looking for kristen ? eli : we are . sami : uh - huh . have you found her ? eli : no , but that still does n't change the fact that you defied a judge 's order . now , you give me no choice than to put you under arrest and put you in a cell . sami : damn it . john : darling ? what 's going on ? what just happened ? [ screaming ] it just happened again . what 's going on , doc ? marlena : we were talking about when sami shot me , and i think -- i think i remembered something . john : like what ? marlena : it 's , uh ... it 's not clear . it 's not clear , i just -- i think ... i think before i heard the gunshot ... i think i saw something . john : okay , maybe you did . why do n't you slowly just try to focus on what you saw ? maybe you 'll remember what it was . [ dramatic music ] with uncontrolled gabi : you know , i 'm sorry . i should have never even told you that or anything . chad : tell me what stefan said . gabi : are you sure ? because you know that stefan loves stirring trouble . chad : tell me , tell me . gabi : all right . well , he , um ... `` let it slip `` that he went to see abigail . and i was so mad about it , i told him to stay away from her . i told him that she wants absolutely nothing to do with him , and then he said ... no , i do n't know . it 's just -- it 's too much . chad : come on , what 'd he say ? gabi : he says that abigail was the one that asked him to come over . chad : no , he 's a liar . gabi : he says that she sent him a text saying that she needed him . and when he got there to her house , she was confused because she thought she had sent that text to jj , and she -- that it was a mistake . chad : then she meant to send it to jj , so that 's -- that solves it . gabi : i -- i hope so . i mean , i want to believe that . but stefan thinks she 's covering something -- chad : what the hell does stefan -- the hell do i care what he says ? i do n't -- he 's going to think what he wants to think , so . gabi : no , yeah , i get that . he just says that abigail was ... thrown . she seemed confused , that she did n't even remember sending that text . chad : because she did n't send the text . it was -- it was the ... the gabby , with a y . [ tense music ] abigail : are you going to start following me around based on one text message that i meant to send to jj ? stefan : i did n't believe you when you said it , and i still don't . abigail : you live in a dream world . stefan : at first , you do n't remember sending the thing . the next , you -- you claimed it was supposed to be for jj . you 're obviously confused , and i know why . gabby sent that text , did n't she ? abigail : if that were true , and it 's not , you are the only person who would think it was a reason to celebrate . stefan : first thing she did was contact me . she 's more powerful than you think . abigail : no . stefan : she wants to come back , because she wants our baby -- abigail : no . stefan : yes , and she wants me . [ dramatic music ] sami : stefan dimera 's the one you should be arresting . he was harboring a fugitive . you know , i know for a fact -- i know for a fact that kristen was down in those tunnels . eli : you know for a fact ? how ? sami : well , because i went down there . she locked me in . eli : are you saying that you laid eyes on kristen ? sami : well , not exactly . eli : i did n't think so . sami : no , but she was down there , she locked me in . it had to be her . eli : nice try , let 's go . sami : no , no , no . wait , hold on , please . just one second , okay ? give me a chance to explain . you can go down there . you can be the hero . look , i can tell you where the secret tunnels are . there 's a door in the dimera living room . the button is under stefano 's portrait , and it opens the secret passage to the tunnels . you can be the hero and solve this entire case . just go check it out . please , you 'll see that i 'm telling you the truth , and in the meantime , you can just unlock the handcuffs , and then i can find my mom before kristen does . eli : wait , wait , wait , wait . back up , shh . why do you have to find your mom ? [ tense music ] marlena : i remember ... seeing something , and i was thinking that -- that should n't -- that should n't be there , that 's wrong . and things were happening -- happened so fast -- john : all right , all right , all right , all right . all right , just -- just slow it down and go back to what you remember clearly and just start telling the story . maybe it 'll trigger something . marlena : yeah , that 's what i have my patients do . john : who do you think i stole it from ? marlena : oh , from me . john : [ laughs ] marlena : um , so ... kristen made sami take the gun . and ... and she told her ... that ej was alive , and that -- that she would tell sami where he was if ... if she -- if she -- if she would shoot you dead . john : okay , you 're right on point . just keep going . marlena : and then ... sami pointed the gun at you , and i kept thinking , `` oh , do n't , do n't , don't. `` and ... everybody was looking at sami . and that 's when eric leapt at her , and -- and tried to get the gun . john : right . marlena : and then -- john : and then what ? marlena : oh , i -- i do n't know . it all -- it all happened so fast . [ gasps ] john : what ? marlena : i think that i saw something from behind sami , way , way in the distance . i think it was ... somebody . john : somebody . a person ? that 's what you saw that should n't have been there ? marlena : i 'm not sure , it was all so -- it was all so sudden -- [ tense music ] john : what 's going on ? come on , talk to me . marlena : john . john : what ? marlena : i remembered . the thing that should n't have been there , the thing that i saw . it was another gun . managing my type 2 diabetes was n't my top priority . at humana , we believe great things are ahead of you when you start with healthy . and part of staying healthy means choosing the right medicare plan . humana can help . with original medicare , you 're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits when you 're sick . but keep in mind you 'll have to pay a deductible for each . a medicare supplement plan can cover your deductibles and co - insurance , but you may pay higher premiums than you do with other plans . and prescription drug coverage is n't included . but , with an all- in - one humana medicare advantage plan , you could get all that coverage plus part d prescription drug benefits . you get all this coverage for zero dollar monthly plan premium in most areas . and humana has a large network of doctors and hospitals . so call or go online today . find out if your doctor is part of the humana network and get your free decision guide . discover how an all - in- one medicare advantage plan from humana could save you money . there is no obligation and the book is free . chloe : why are you so set on finding nicole ? you 're engaged to jennifer . you are happy . eric : remember me saying that brady did something that forced nicole to leave town ? chloe : i do , but brady denied it . eric : and he 's lying . i was right . chloe : you 're sure ? eric : i ca n't go into the details , but brady has something on her . chloe : well , it must be something big . eric : and it is . he said that if she did n't leave salem , he was going to the police . chloe : what ? that does n't sound like brady . eric : and that is why i need to find her . victor : admit it . this is getting to you , too , is n't it ? maggie : what 's getting to me ? victor : that our home has turned into a cracker factory . you 've been preoccupied all day . when we get home , anyone whose name is not kiriakis is getting walking papers . maggie : that 's -- it 's not it , victor . victor : mm . well then , what is it ? because i know it 's something . maggie : you 're right . after you went to bed last night , eric showed up . he wanted information on where nicole is . i told him i had no idea . that was a lie . victor : you 're in contact with her ? maggie : she keeps me informed on how holly is doing . but she does it with a condition . that i tell no one where she and holly are . i understand why she feels that way , but lying to eric is horrible . [ tense music ] victor : i think you know i have very little use for nicole . but i respect you for keeping her confidence . maggie : thank you . victor : you 're a woman of your word , maggie . one of the reasons i love you . so if you have to tell eric what i consider to be a little white lie -- maggie : but if you had seen his face . he is so desperate to find her . victor : eh , it 's a terrible situation . maggie : you know , he told me that she left him because brady forced her to , and that brady is the reason that she does n't want anyone to know where she is . eric looked awful . i tried to get him to tell me more , but he wouldn't . and that 's everything i know . do you -- do you know anything ? i mean , can you explain why brady did this ? [ tense music ] victor : i 'm not going to lie to you , maggie . i 've had enough of that to last us a lifetime . i know more than something . i know the whole damn story . and it 's an ugly one . [ dramatic music ] eli : your mother is in her room , recuperating . sami : yeah , no , of course . i just -- eli : why do n't you just stop playing games ? sami : this is n't a -- you know what ? you 're right , you 're not going to believe me anyway , so why bother explaining ? so we 'll just do this your way . you can run me down to the station , but you know what ? these charges are n't going to stick , because i do n't care what anyone says . i did n't pull that trigger . [ dramatic music ] john : you saw someone else with a gun ? marlena : yes , i think i did . john : could you tell who it was ? marlena : no , no . it was -- it was so far away . john : where was it ? marlena : it was across the square . by the bushes , i think . john : but you know you saw a person with a gun in there ? marlena : yes . i 'm almost positive . [ tense music ] [ gunshot ] john : what is it , doc ? marlena : oh , i -- i -- i just heard -- heard the sound of that shot . sami was right in front of me . the shot came from -- from much farther away . oh , oh , john . that means that sami 's innocent . that sami was n't the person who shot me . [ dramatic music ] chloe : how does jennifer feel about you looking for nicole ? eric : she gave me the ring back . chloe : you two broke up ? why ? eric : jennifer has known what brady did to nicole for quite a while . she kept it a secret until she could n't live with it anymore , and she finally told me . chloe : okay , i do n't get any of this . eric : listen , i 'm slowly figuring this out , but jennifer was just afraid it would change everything between us if i knew about brady and nicole . chloe : and that 's why she gave you the ring back . i 'm sorry . eric : me too . in more ways than you know . chloe : so if the only reason nicole left town was because brady forced her to , then what does that mean for you and nicole ? [ dramatic music ] maggie : i 'm ... i 'm stunned . victor : it 's pretty stunning . maggie : brady really did that . [ exhales ] i know that he believed that he and nicole were going to make a life together . [ chuckles ] and i also know how hurt he was when she was drawn back to eric . but to do something so hateful and so vindictive , i -- i do n't know what to say . eric was devastated . he did n't know what happened . and brady just watched that , and enjoyed it . victor : well , i do n't know what was going on inside of him . maggie : and all this time , you 've known it was nicole who killed deimos ? victor : he was threatening to go away and take her little girl with him . your granddaughter . ca n't say i blame her for sticking a knife in the sob . maggie : and you kept it to yourself . victor : it was brady 's secret . he would have been in a world of trouble if i opened my mouth . he obstructed justice . maggie : i wonder ... if eric knows that you know . victor : so do i . because if it ever gets out , i 'd be in a world of trouble too . [ dramatic music ] chad : maybe what she said this morning was right . gabi : what , that she cancelled a picnic to go see a psychiatrist ? chad : yeah , maybe she 's worried about backsliding . gabi : [ exhales ] you know what , i 'm sorry that i 'm even talking about this , suggesting this . it obviously is the worst case scenario . i 'm -- who am i to jump to conclusions ? chad : you did n't , stefan did . gabi : yeah , because that 's what stefan does . he loves to start problems between you and abigail . you know , he probably wanted me to tell you all of this . yeah , that 's exactly what it is . he -- god , i 'm such a moron for falling for it . chad : stop , stop . do n't -- do n't do that . do n't blame yourself . abby 's stressed with the pregnancy , and that -- that son of a bitch has been running around town , bragging about the fact that he -- he got my wife pregnant and that he 's going to be the father of her child , so . yeah , he 'd probably love it if she slipped again . thank you for telling me , because abby 's going to need me on her side . gabi : yeah , i just ... i just had to say , you know , that stefan thinks gabby is back , and reaching out for him . chad : those are his exact words ? gabi : well , he said he got a text from abigail . that he went to her house , and when she opened the door , that she said she did n't even remember sending that text because she was asleep . chad : again ? gabi : apparently . chad : so she missed the picnic because she was sleeping , and then she went back asleep . gabi : well , either that , or -- chad : she 's losing time again . then stefan 's right . [ tense music ] stefan : if you think i 'm going to forget about this , you 're fooling yourself . abigail : oh , leave me alone . stefan : abigail , i am not here to bully you . i care about you . abigail : oh , bull . gabby is a symptom of my illness and you want her back . you do n't give a damn about me . stefan : that 's not true . if she is back , i know her better than anyone . so maybe i can help you with her . abigail : oh , are you going to help me out of existence ? stefan : yes . yes , i am . your emotional health is important to me , and to our baby . okay , look , if you do n't -- if you do n't want me around , then -- then i 'll call chad . abigail : do n't you dare call chad . stefan : you have to tell someone what 's going on with you . abigail : i do n't -- i do n't want to talk to him . i do n't want to tell him anything about it . he 's already had to deal with enough of this mess . stefan : okay , then , will you talk to me ? please ? abigail : if i do , will you just leave me alone ? stefan : [ exhales ] abigail : okay , fine , yeah . you 're right , i lied . i do n't remember sending the texts . obviously , i did . and i 've been losing time . i just keep telling myself it 's because i 'm sleeping a lot , but you know , i 've told myself that before . stefan : the first time gabby came out . i knew it . [ dramatic music ] marlena : if only i could remember that face . john : you know , sami was saying all along that she did n't pull that trigger . because she didn't . marlena : if only we could prove that . john : well , maybe we can . marlena : how , john ? [ dramatic music ] john : it 's going to be easy to determine if the bullet that hit you came from this gun . only , we do n't know if this was the gun kristen had at the wedding . marlena : it is . john : how do you know that ? marlena : because when she was waving it around , she said : `` this is the gun that i gave to sami . `` john : we 're in business . i 'll take this downtown . we 'll run it through the police lab . we have the fragments of the bullet that hit you . marlena : okay , okay . go do it now . john : i will , i will . i just do n't want to leave you -- marlena : no , i 'm fine , i 'm fine . john : do n't get all worked up , okay ? okay . marlena : just go . john : okay , i will . and just try to rest , and if you need anything , i got a guard right outside the door . marlena : anybody i know ? john : old buddy from the isa . do n't worry , built like a cement mixer . marlena : just go . just go and ... mm . john : love you . [ dramatic music ] marlena : [ exhales ] gabi : chad , hey , do n't -- do n't jump to conclusions , okay ? abigail is doing so well . chad : yeah , but she , uh -- she has this baby inside of her that ... oh , that she knows was conceived while she was blacked out . and now , it 's starting to kick , and it 's a constant reminder of what happened between gabby and stefan , and ... [ chuckles ] maybe -- maybe gabby 's fighting to be in charge so she can be the one to give birth , i do n't know . gabi : oh . oh , i see what you 're saying . chad : i mean , look , she 's strong . all right , but this pregnancy was just a shock , and especially when she found out that it was stefan 's . and then , you know , stefan has n't let up , and he just keeps showing up and keeps going , you know ? i moved out . and she 's got to deal with all of that , so . gabi : do n't torture yourself , okay ? i mean , especially if you do n't even know if all of this is fact . chad : i just ... i just -- i could find out . [ dramatic music ] abigail : last night , when you got the text , it was n't the first time that i woke up and i did n't know where the time had gone . stefan : really ? abigail : chad and i made a date to take thomas for a picnic yesterday . and then , when chad showed up , he found me asleep , and thomas was just in his room , crying . at least , i think that 's how it happened . stefan : why would you doubt it ? abigail : i -- i was worn out , but i do n't remember feeling sleepy , and i do n't -- i just remember waking up . stefan : all right . well , do you think there was something about the picnic ? some reason you would n't want to go ? abigail : no , stefan . i was actually looking forward to the picnic because it was supposed to be the beginning of chad and me getting back together . stefan : right . but gabby would hate that . abigail : i mean , what if i would have left the house ? or what if i would have left thomas ? stefan : chad does n't know anything about this ? abigail : no , no . i mean , it 's just -- just jj . and i do n't want him to know . okay , not until i have a better understand of what is happening . and we rescheduled the picnic for today , but i told him to just go ahead and go without me because i had a doctor 's appointment , which is a lie . i 'm going to go see a psychiatrist . that 's what i was getting ready to do before you got here . stefan : right . i think you 're doing the right thing . i 'll go with you . [ dramatic music ] john : hey , just found out you were here . sami : well , i just found out that hattie adams , that nutjob , is pretending to be mom . what is going on ? i thought she was supposed to be in prison . john : gee , uh , listen . i 've got a lot to talk to you about , so i 'm to try to make this brief . i smuggled hattie out of prison . sami : you -- because the hospital was determined to take mom off that ventilator , and you were n't going to let that happen . john : that 's a fact , yeah . i put hattie in your mother 's bed , and i moved your mother to a secure location so she could stay on the ventilator . i know i took a big chance here , but i did n't have any power over that advance directive . sami : this sounds like something i would have done . john : well , i would have done that and a hell of a lot more for your mother . sami : [ chuckles ] john : and it paid off , samantha . she 's out of the coma . sami : for real ? john : for real . sami : she 's -- oh , my god , she 's awake ? she 's talking and stuff ? john : yeah , she 's talking and stuff . sami : oh , john , oh , john . thank you , oh , you 're the best . oh , thank you so much . oh , this is incredible . john : yeah . sami : where is she ? i tried to get kayla to tell me , but she would n't say . oh , god , no , you do n't want me anywhere near her , and i -- i understand that . because it 's my fault she 's in a coma in the first place . john : no , actually , i do n't believe it 's your fault she was in the coma .

[ tense music ] victor : should n't you be with arianna ? is n't that the whole purpose of your staying here ? gabi : arianna has a playdate , and thomas is taking a nap . so what 's the problem with me hanging out in the living room ? victor : you do n't have the run of the house . gabi : well , talk to sonny , not me . victor : believe me , i will . [ dramatic music ] gabi : you 're not going to bring me down , you old grouch . not when things are finally going my way . chloe : i 've called nicole 's cell a million times . it always goes to voicemail , and she never calls me back . eric : yeah , i 've done that , too . i do n't know if it 's still her cell phone . chloe : it 's probably not . she 's smart enough to have ditched it by now . eric : well , maybe there 's no use . maybe there is no one who can help me find her . maggie : you 're wrong . i can help you . eric : but you said you couldn't . maggie : i was lying . i know where nicole is .

[ scene_break ] adrienne : [ sighs ] i assume he 's talking to mickey . what does he say ? kayla : he thinks our best bet is to plead insanity , that steve was overwhelmed by benjy 's death and he just snapped . adrienne : that 's pretty much the truth . kayla : yeah , exactly . adrienne : [ sighs ] sit down . sit , sit , sit , sit , sit . how are you holding up ? i know how much you loved benjy . kayla : to tell you the truth , i 've been so worried about steve , i think i have n't really had a chance for it to sink in that he 's really gone . adrienne : it just does n't seem real . kayla : you know , his car -- his car is in bo and hope 's garage . i just have n't been able to bring myself to go pick it up . adrienne : shh , shh , shh , shh . there 's plenty of time for that . how 's sonia ? kayla : she 's devastated . you know , benjy sent her and her baby out of town because he feared for their safety . i 'm sure when she kissed him goodbye , she never thought that it would be for the last time . adrienne : i 'm just glad andré 's in custody . when i think of all the pain and misery that man 's caused -- kayla : i blame stefano for this . andré is a monster that he created , and i hope that his guilt eats him alive . i hope that he suffers every day for the rest of his life for what he did to his own son . [ scene_break ] bo : get out of here , dimera . stefano : i have every right to be here , detective . i have an appointment with the district attorney to discuss my case against my assailant . and since the wheels of justice grind slowly , i 'm here to make sure that they move along . i 'm sure you can understand that . bo : listen to you . stefano dimera , trying to play the victim . poor you . you brought this on yourself , and nobody , including the d.a . , is gon na let you make a joke out of the legal system . stefano : let 's not argue about where the joke is here , all right ? instead , why do n't we bask in the lovely light of love that 's going on between our families , hmm ? you have heard , have you not ? you and i may soon be family . bo : [ chuckles ] ahh , there 's the joke . [ scene_break ] lucas : will , just try to calm down , okay ? we 'll explain some things to you . will : how can you explain it ? this is nuts . have you forgotten what he 's done to you ? sami : no , okay , will ? but let me explain what will happen if i do marry e.j . will : what do you mean what will happen ? sami : if i marry e.j . , the vendetta that the dimera 's have against the brady 's will be over completely . will : what ? sami : i know how it sounds , but if i marry him , there will be no more attacks against our family . but those terms are nonnegotiable . will : if you and e.j . get married ... who came up with that crazy idea ? lucas : [ clears throat ] sami : it was n't me . look , i 'll explain the whole story to you , okay ? it 's really long and complicated , but i 'll explain it to you later . lucas : your mom thinks that if she gets married to e.j . that you and the twins will be safe . sami : just think about it . no more violence , no more attacks , no more vendetta against our family . it 'll be over . will : so , no more sending me off to switzerland ? sami : yeah , no more looking over our shoulder , waiting for someone else in our family to get hurt . the vendetta will be over forever . will , i love your dad . i love him more than anything , and i always will . but i have to do this . and i just want you to try to understand , okay ? you do n't hate me , do you ? will : no . i do n't hate you , mom . sami : you do n't ? will : heck no , i think you 're amazing . [ scene_break ] sami : oh , will . i ca n't tell you how happy i am that you understand . lucas : you 're okay with this , right ? will : well , no , of course i 'm not okay with it , but -- but i get it . i get that marrying e.j . is n't what mom wants . she 's making this incredible sacrifice for our family . [ scene_break ] belle : i can not believe that i 'm hearing this from you of all people . what happened to the guy who would stop at nothing to find claire , who practically went to the ends of the earth for her ? philip : do you want that guy back , that whack job ? 'cause i sure do n't . belle : well , i 'd like the part of him back that would fight for the sake of a child , who does n't know the meaning of the word surrender . what happened to him ? what happened to the man who never says die ? philip : i 'll tell you what happened to him . he 's scared . belle : you ? philip : lauren is psycho , okay ? anything could have happened by now . what if this ends in something that i ca n't deal with ? i 've already lost one kid . belle : you have not lost claire . philip , you have n't . believe me , claire is always gon na be a part of your life . i 'm gon na make sure of that . philip : thank you . belle : so , i do n't see how you can give up on tyler . philip : if i ca n't find him , what choice do i have ? belle : you will find him . i know you will . philip : this way , at least i can imagine him with some loving couple -- a mom and a dad -- being loved and cared for . okay , so he wo n't have the kind of money he 'd have if he would have been raised by me , but maybe that 's a good thing , right ? sometimes i wonder ... what i would have been like if i was raised by some regular old family and not the son of victor kiriakis . i might be a better person , huh ? belle : hey , you are a wonderful person , and you do n't ever think anything else . philip : thank you . your opinion means a lot to me . i guess you knew that . belle : it would be wonderful if tyler was with a truly loving family , if he 's not with you , that is , but would n't you worry ? philip , think about it . what if he was in a bad situation ? that would torment you not knowing if he was okay . philip : i have no idea what i 'm up against , what she might have done , what happened to him . it really scares me to think of what i might find . belle : hey . hey . whatever you find , we 're gon na face it together , okay ? i 'm gon na be right by your side through all of this , i promise .

[ sniffles ] roman : but let me ask you this : are you afraid that if you make the wrong call , you wo n't be able to live with the guilt ? what if you 're making the wrong call now ? what if that drug could help ? and what if you are the only thing standing between ma and her only real chance ? kayla : that is not fair . roman : maybe not , but if it were any other patient , would you turn it down ? kayla : yes ! i would never give a patient an untested drug that has dubious benefits -- especially not my mother . who 's bo brady ? steve : who 's bo brady ? the man you were holding here ? you did n't even bother to ask his name ? hey . you tell me about this blood stain . i never knew the prisoner 's name . i never even knew why he was being held . i was just following orders . steve : who gave you those orders ? huh ? who ? justin : i do n't mean to interfere , it 's just -- i went through something similar with alex 's mother . brady : no -- no , listen . no worries , no worries . i do n't have romantic feelings for theresa . and given everything that 's happened , i never will . justin : i get that . i just wonder if she does . eduardo : it was a lovely service . eve : it was . eduardo : i should n't have tried to have a say in plans you 'd made . eve : no , you should n't have . eduardo : got ta say , it was remarkable to hear all those wonderful things about her . you obviously did a great job of raising our daughter . eve : i ca n't take any credit for that . she was just an amazing girl . eduardo : yeah . something like this happens , you take a hard look at your life . i know there 's nothing i can do to make up for what i missed . i can only tell you how sorry i am . and how deeply i wish things had turned out differently . eve : me too .

[ laughs ] kayla : it 's hard to know which one of her symptoms are from her stroke or the underlying illness , and that drug is designed to just treat the latter . if she has another brain bleed -- roman : how likely do you think that is ? kayla : i have no idea . roman : the odds were against her after the stroke , were n't they ? look how hard she fought to get back . look , i do n't believe ma ever made a decision based on fear . in fact -- you know , pop always said the only reason their business succeeded was because ma was willing to take chances . i mean , hell , they took a fish market -- a fish market , turned it into a pub with no restaurant experience . it was crazy , it was nuts . but it worked . kayla : yeah , it did . roman : and were n't you the first female altar server st. luke 's ever had ? i do n't think that was your idea . have you asked yourself what ma would do if she had the capacity to make this decision herself ? kayla : of course i have . roman : i think we both know what she 'd say . kayla : can i just have a second with her , alone ? roman : sure . sure . you take all the time you need . i love you , sis . i love you . kayla : oh , mom . you know who i always come to for advice when i have a tough decision ? you have no idea how much i miss being able to do that . the doctor in me says giving you an untested drug is just -- it 's ethically wrong , and potentially so dangerous . but the little girl in me just wants my ma back . it is so hard to let go . i do n't want you to leave us . and i know you would n't , either . is roman right ? hi . [ caroline moans ] kayla : hi , how you doing ? caroline : fine . kayla : do you think that we could talk about something for a second , kinda serious ? caroline : yeah , what -- what ? kayla : it 's about your medical care . caroline : sure . well , i -- i think you -- my daughter , dr . brady , should be part of that conversation . would you mind calling her for me ? kayla : sure . roman : well , i think kayla 's on the fence , but i 'm still not sure she 's gon na change her mind . victor : listen , if she 's worried about the legal ramifications for the hospital , we can take caroline anywhere . roman : no , victor , no . hope : hey -- roman : that 's not it . hope : hi . how 's caroline doing ? roman : the same . the same . hope : yeah ? victor : kayla still wo n't give her the drug . roman : she has legitimate concerns , but ma 's going downhill so fast , i just do n't think we have any other alternative . hope : god , i am so sorry . this is a very difficult decision , especially with so little information on what the outcome might be . victor , how did you find out about this treatment in the first place ? victor : i did n't find out about it . bo did . steve : where do you get your orders ? answer me ! i do n't know . steve : do n't give me that . it 's true . i got paid every week in cash , delivered by a messenger . steve : okay . now you are gon na tell me something you do know . was bo hurt ? we had to take some extreme measures to get him to answer some of the questions . steve : extreme measures ? you mean like torture ? yeah , he was very determined not to talk . steve : not to talk about what ? what were you asking him ? about a formula . or serum . that 's all i know , i swear . steve : where the hell is he now ? [ stammering ] steve : you are gon na talk to me and tell me where he is . brady : tate 's already asleep . theresa : i wanted to put him down . i just want to hug him and never let him go . brady : i know . theresa : brady , thank you so much for your support today . it meant a lot to me . brady : i 'm glad i could be here . i 'm -- i 'm -- i have some work to do , so i 'm -- i 'll be in the study if you need anything . theresa : sure . justin : excuse me . mr. larson ? eduardo : yeah . justin : could i have a word with you ? eduardo : sure . justin : rafe was right about one thing -- we will need to coordinate your reward through the police department . eduardo : all right . justin : and next time you decide to go renegade , just give me a head 's up first , all right ? trust me , i 'm on your side . as long as your actions serve the case , i 'll support you 100 % . eduardo : actually , mr. kiriakis , i do n't really care if you support me or not . i want justice for my daughter . somehow , i do n't think that 's what you 're in this for . maggie : i think i 'm gon na go down to the cafeteria . would anyone like anything ? hope : no -- no , thank you . victor : no , thank you . roman : well , you know what ? i -- i could use a walk . i think i 'll tag along . maggie : well , good . hope : what are you talking about ? you have n't been in touch with bo . victor : no , not for years . but , when he went to california to the clinic with caroline , he ran down every lead he could find . that 's what led him to dr . salinas in peru . hope : but that was three years ago . why are we just talking about this now ? victor : well , although the research was very promising at the time , the drug was only in the developmental stage . bo asked me if i would be able to fund it , and of course i said yes . hope : i do n't understand . why did n't he mention it to me ? to anyone ? victor : he did n't want people to be getting their hopes up . hope : someone should 've told kayla at the very least , do n't you think ? victor : no , the other reason that we wanted to keep it under wraps is because it was potentially a huge breakthrough and a lucrative discovery . we did n't want people trying to get into this to make a quick buck . it would 've compromised everything . so -- i mean -- if the doctor lost control of the research , we could be in clinical trials for years . if it fell into the wrong hands . one thing caroline does n't have is time . we need to act now . i just hope that kayla comes to her sense before it 's too late . okay , mr. brady . let 's have a little chat .

[ laughing ] perhaps it 's a little unorthodox , but what better way than to educate you about your ancestors , huh ? you know , giovanni , what i would love to do -- i would love to take you to see some other family plots , too , in new orleans and italy . would n't that be wonderful , huh ? would n't that be terrific ? but i 'm afraid that 's going to have to wait for another day . johnny : [ babbling ] stefano : yes . you know , we dimeras , we have quite a legacy , you know that ?

[ scene_break ] chelsea : i 'm worried about kate , but i ca n't get past my anger towards her because she betrayed my trust with the man that i loved . i guess i still love him , and that 's why it hurts so much . am i that terrible ? stephanie : no , you 're just honest . chelsea : and now i 'm mad at her because i ca n't be mad at her . stephanie : i know . come here . chelsea : oh , and i do n't even know what this is because philip wo n't tell me anything . stephanie : well , what about daniel ? maybe you can find out from him .

[ scene_break ] melanie : i know i sound like a total bitch , but i 'm glad he 's dead . he was a horrible person . philip : hey , there 's no need to apologize . i 'm not judging you . melanie : you 'd think i 'd be a little more loyal , seeing as how he put up with me . i was n't exactly the best daughter . philip : that 's okay . melanie : no , it 's not ... not at all .

did i wander onto the set of `` man men `` ? is this the twilight zone ? clyde : do you have a problem with me asking for due respect ? kate : i have a problem with you acting like a chauvinistic jerk . look . i have had a lot of losers in my life . i 've been saddled with a lot of them . but i 'm really learning how to cut my losses . i liked your confidence at the beginning -- i did . but your ego is way , way out of control . you need to find someone who 's gon na like being with a narcissist , because that certainly is n't me . just consider yourself dumped . chad : she gone ? kate : yeah . chad : look , there 's something i need to talk to you about . sonny told me that clyde was the one that had him stabbed . kate : damn him . chad : in order to get victor to back off . kate : will was so scared that sonny was gon na die . chad : and that 's why sonny and brady made that preemptive strike against clyde . kate : yeah , but -- what good did that do ? clyde is still at large . kiriakis business holdings are at risk . chad : sonny 's mad at me for taking advantage of that and he wo n't even return my calls now . chad : do n't do that . do n't get sentimental . do n't back off . do n't make concessions . chad : well , okay , you know , i have a little trouble putting the almighty dollar in front of everything when everybody 's under siege , when my son 's at risk . kate : i want you to think about your son . clyde 's gon na get caught . this whole nightmare is gon na be over . but those deals we made kept this company from going into bankruptcy in six months . and as we discussed before , it is n't just dimera enterprises . it 's your son 's legacy . and you and i are going to protect that . andré : is laura with you ? good . i knew she could help . oh , do n't worry . i wo n't say a word to anyone . not until you are good and ready . ciara : theo . so scared when you just took off without me . theo : well , i mean , sorry you were worried . ciara : why did n't you answer my texts ? theo : i was n't checking my phone . ciara : that 's not like you . theo : well , i mean , i 'm busy , i got things i need to do . ciara : what things ? theo : look . the man who shot my dad , he has to pay , okay ? ciara : and he will . when he get caught , he 'll be punished . theo : no , now . ciara : now ? theo : yeah . ciara : theo , i do n't like the way that you 're talking . look , your dad is gon na be fine , and as for the guy that shot him , leave that to the police . theo : no , they do n't care enough . no , not like me . i 'm his son . it 's up to me . ciara : it 's not up to you . those men are dangerous . theo : i know . so am i . orpheus : `` you and john black meet me in the private area of the square equipped to transfer $ 20 million to the following swiss bank account . come alone . do exactly as i say , or joseph johnson dies . `` clyde : you best be damn sure they ca n't trace that email . orpheus : yes , clyde . i 'm damn sure they ca n't trace the email . just glad we had enough power to send it . well , it seems that our time here in salem is drawing to a close . we terminate all those that need to be terminated . and we leave . clyde : with thomas . god help him that gets in the way . jennifer : you just missed ciara . they found theo . hope : i know . jennifer : she went to the police station to see him -- hope : i know , thank god . thank god he 's okay . jennifer : yeah . hope : she texted me . jennifer : good . i 'm glad you dropped by . hope : yeah . jennifer : what 's going on ? hope : i guess i wanted to tell you in person . i mean , you 're gon na hear about it anyway . jennifer : what ? what 's wrong ? hope : it 's over between rafe and me . i broke up with him . aiden : very stupid thing to do . rafe : so is trying to blackmail hope . now , i do n't know what you think you have on her , but i 'm not letting you get away with this . aiden : look , you have no say in the situation . rafe : oh , really ? aiden : yeah , and hope is a very strong - minded person . so she 's gon na do what she thinks is best . rafe : oh , you think you can make her do what you want her to do to protect the people she lives . aiden : [ sighs ] i see . you need to put a spin on this , is that it ? rafe : no . aiden : is it ? because you 're hurting . she dumped you . that 's what happened , right ? listen to this , rafe . she 's gon na be with me . deal with it . rafe : you 'd have to kill me first . aiden : do n't tempt me . jennifer : you broke up with rafe ? why did you do that ? you love him . hope : sometimes , love just is n't enough , is it ? jennifer : but you do love him . hope : it 's complicated . jennifer : no . that is not complicated , hope . i was there in the hospital after the explosion . his -- oh , my goodness . his love for you , it was so all over him . come on , i know that ... you love him the same , so whatever it is -- hope : i do n't have a choice , okay ? jennifer : what ? hope : just do n't judge . jennifer : i would never . you know that . please , i am on your side . hope : thank you . that 's what i need right now . rafe : you 're not gon na get away with this . you 're not . aiden : let me give you a little reality check , okay ? you just assaulted the district attorney . now i can bring you up on police brutality charges . or maybe something much , much worse . clyde : roman and john should have responded by now . orpheus : now they need to think , which we know is hard for both of them . but they will . they 're not about to take chances with young joseph 's life . marlena : all right , i updated the file based on what i heard from kate and chad . roman : thanks . but there 's been a new development . i just got an untraceable email demanding we act now on that ransom demand . marlena : oh , come on . that must be a trap . no , they do n't want money . they want revenge . roman : i know that . but i do n't have a choice at this point , not as long as they got joey . so i set up a meeting for john to wire money and get joey back . marlena : i do n't like this . do n't like it . and you 're right . we got ta do whatever they say . roman : i 'm doing everything i can , i assure you , to make sure that john and joey are both safe . but we do n't have a lot of time , so john has to be in that town square ready to wire money in 30 minutes . | marlena went to kate to find out more about clyde . she figured that kate would know something about clyde since she dated him . kate did n't want to think about her time with clyde , but marlena needed her help . clyde believed that orpheus ' plan to blow up the warehouse was a bad idea . clyde thought that they should have been out of salem by now . orpheus had other plans before they left town . clyde talked to orpheus about ben and jordan , but he did n't seem to care too much . clyde felt bad for shooting abe . he also felt sorry for what the shooting did to theo . theo tracked down clyde so he could get revenge for what happened to abe . ciara told jennifer that she was worried about theo because he was gone . hope broke up with rafe . rafe did n't understand why she wanted to break up with him . he thought that aiden was responsible for what hope was doing . chad and kate talked about how clyde wanted to take thomas from him . chad refused to let clyde take thomas from him . marlena remembered something clyde told her about him feeling bad about the way he treated his children . clyde did n't want to be like his father and she thinks he 's trying to make amends for it . while clyde was talking to orpheus , he thought he heard a noise . orpheus wanted clyde to check it out . rafe realized that aiden was blackmailing hope . he wanted to help her deal with it . rafe also realized that aiden knew that he helped her cover up stefano 's murder . |
abigail : [ laughing ] chad : whoo ! ohh ... you happy , mrs . dimera ? abigail : i 'm so happy . yes . [ soft music ] victor : that bad , huh ? brady : i did n't see you when i came in . victor : obviously not . listen , brady , i know that weddings can bring out all kinds of complicated feelings in people ... especially when they 're interrupted by ... a homicidal maniac . i do n't want to see you lose your hard - won sobriety . especially not over the likes of nicole walker . [ somber music ] chloe : look , the real reason eric left salem is you . he left because of you . nicole : chloe , i do n't know what you 're implying . chloe : i am not implying anything -- i 'm just saying it outright . which ... is hard for me because ... i care about both eric and brady . nicole : brady ? chloe : look , they both confided things in me , things that they were trusting me with not to tell anyone , but i ca n't sit silently by while you 're in the dark about this . and i just do n't wan na keep secrets from you anymore -- not after everything that i put you through . so i feel like i should just tell you the truth . eli : [ laughs ] jeez ! gabi : i 'm so sorry . eli : you 're a lot stronger than you look . gabi : well , you know , maybe i should give my teacher some credit , you know ? [ both chuckling ] [ soft music ] man : [ loudly ] ah - hem ! [ tense music ] the hell do you think you 're doin ' ? sonny : hey , thank you so much for getting here quickly . paul : so justin said that because sonny and will were legally separated before will 's death ... sonny : i would n't be considered next of kin . i ca n't authorize having will 's body exhumed . paul : so we had lucas sign off on it -- or we asked him to . sonny : but he refused , so you 're the only one we can turn to . marlena : oh . i see . [ stammers ] i 'm will 's grandmother , but i ... i doubt that i could authorize an exhumation . paul : actually , we were hoping for something else . marlena : oh ? what ? paul : marlena , if you could talk to ben ... you 're the only person with the skills to be able to get through to him . sonny : just get him to explain why he 's saying will 's alive . [ somber music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] sonny : marlena , we can only imagine how painful this has been for you , having ben show up like that and crash the wedding and saying that will 's alive . marlena : that was painful . painful for you as well . but i do want to know why ben said what he did about will . paul : well , he said it because he 's insane ... because he 's trying to hurt us . look , will is dead , and he is not coming back . i 'm sorry ... but it 's true . i mean , ben weston is a liar . and he 's only trying to destroy what we have together . sonny : maybe he is ... but if there 's the slightest chance that will 's alive ... paul : then you have to know . [ quiet music ] marlena : i ca n't promise , but i ... i will find out what i can . brady : you 're right . not about nicole . but about my ... sobriety . i do n't wan na -- i do n't wan na give that up either . victor : then , for god 's sake , brady , get a hold of yourself ! brady : granddad , what i 'm trying to tell you is i 'm fine , i 'm okay . it 's kind of mind - boggling to me how i can go to these big public occasions and -- and ... be fine . then i get here alone , and that 's when i 'm ... i 'm tempted . that 's why i 'm glad you 're here with me , granddad . victor : you know , you and nicole seemed fine at the wedding ... with everything that was going on . brady : we are fine . we 're -- we 're -- we 're great . we 'd be great if i could just get over the damn guilt of eric leaving town , then maybe i 'd be better . victor : brady , when are you gon na learn ? when you finally start to get what you want in life ... you have to stop feeling guilty about how you got it . [ pensive music ] chloe : nicole , you are my best friend and we almost lost each other once . and i do n't wan na ruin our friendship by keeping something this ... big from you . nicole : i appreciate that , i do , but i - i already knew that eric left town because of me . he told me . well , he wrote me in a -- in a letter he left . chloe : what exactly did he say ? nicole : well , that things shifted after i forgave him for what happened with daniel . chloe : okay , that much is true . nicole : of course , i thought working together would be a lot easier , but he felt that since we finally put the past in the past ... [ chuckles ] that it was the perfect time for him to leave salem . chloe : oh ... [ sighs ] . wow . okay , we , llthat guy seems to be one of the most unselfish people i 've ever met . when i think about everything that he 's given up -- he gave up his job , his friends , his family -- but most importantly , he gave up you . nicole : what are you talking about ? chloe : oh , my god , you still do n't get it , do you ? nicole : get what ? chloe : eric did n't leave salem because you forgave him . he left because he 's still in love with you . [ soft dramatic music ] nicole : [ sighs ] this is insane . it ca n't be true ! chloe : it is true . eric told me himself . nicole : what ? how did that even come up ? chloe : well , honestly , i kinda sensed something , and so i called him out on it , and he said yeah , he 'd been trying to deny it , but it was no use . nicole : well , i - i - i just do n't believe it . chloe : well , believe it . it was tearing the guy up inside . i told him he 'd have to deal with his feelings eventually . nicole : and this is how he deals with it -- by quitting a job that he loves and leaving a town full of people that love him . it does n't make any sense . chloe : well , it was a little more complicated than that , especially after brady found out . nicole : brady knows eric has feelings for me ? chloe : yeah . nicole : okay , now i definitely do n't believe it . because if brady knew , he would have said something to me . chloe : [ sighs ] well , i 'm sorry , nicole , but it 's true . brady knows everything . gabi : rafe , stop . rafe : no . it 's bad enough you took a shot at raines that coulda killed her . gabi : you know , eli is a trained marksman -- he knew what he was doing . rafe : even marksmen miss . gabi : he saved my life . i have told you over and over that what you need to be doing is thanking him ! rafe : no , i 'm not gon na thank him for taking advantage of you at a time like this . gabi : what are you talking about ? rafe : what -- you 're gon na act like tonight was n't rough on you ? that psychopath coming back into town , crashing the wedding , acting like will 's still alive ? gabi : ben is not gon na get -- rafe : and you had to see chad get married . gabi : they 're not even married yet , rafe ! please ! what ? rafe : they got married like an hour ago . chad : so i need to , uh , talk to you . abigail : okay . chad : it 's kinda serious . abigail : what 's wrong ? chad : um ... well , as happy as i am that , you know , we were able to , uh ... do our vows , um , would you be upset if we cancelled our honeymoon ? abigail : i totally forgot about a honeymoon . chad : well , i didn't . i had this ... amazing trip to australia planned with quite the itinerary , i must say . abigail : mmm . i always wanted to go there . chad : we will . just , uh , just kinda does n't seem right with everything going on right now . abigail : well , as much as i would love being whisked away by you ... i agree . i do n't think we should go . chad : thanks for understanding . abigail : mm - hmm . well , thanks for being the kinda guy who does n't cut out on his friends . i love you for that . [ sighs ] i just feel bad for sonny . you know , i know that we all know that ben 's claims are pretty outrageous , but i just think even mentioning that will is alive is ... chad : yeah . it just does n't seem fair . it 's like their lives are just in limbo now -- sonny , paul , will 's family . abigail : it 's not fair . it 's torture . john : hey . marlena : oh , hey , honey . john : how you two holdin ' up ? sonny : we 're better now ... that marlena agreed to help us out . john : okay . okay , well , fill me in on the latest . paul : sure . do you mind ? marlena : i 'm so sorry you have to go through this . sonny : i feel the same way for you , marlena . marlena : [ softly ] yeah . thanks . you know , you 're right , it is just still so painful ... to think about the way that will died . just ... terrifying and ... so young , so young , his whole life ahead of him . and now you ... [ soft laugh ] you 're getting married . your whole life ahead of you . i ... i should tell you how happy i was when i heard the news that you and paul wanted to share your lives together . sonny : yeah . it 's just that i feel horrible -- i feel so guilty . marlena : guilty ? why ? sonny : 'cause here i am , i -- i 'm in love again . i 'm getting married again . and what 's will up to ? will 's gone . marlena : oh , sonny , please , no , do n't -- sonny : i ca n't help but think about the way i treated him . i was so unfair . i judged him for one mistake ? and i did n't even -- i did n't just judge him , marlena . i abandoned him . he died thinking i was done with him , that i had fall out of love . marlena : no . no , darling , he always knew that you loved him . sonny : i know you 're just saying that to make me feel better . we have no idea what will felt when he died . marlena : i knew my grandson . i understood -- i felt that bond you two shared . so i know that ... will thought ... you would get past it ... that you would end up together . sonny : i would give anything to tell him that i still love him . even though i was upset and hurt when we separated ... will was the love of my life . i need to tell him that , marlena . and i 'm hoping that i get that chance . [ edgy music ] ben : oh , look . the gang 's all here . ben : i 'm sorry ... for bustin ' up your big day , boys . but maybe next time will can crash it . john : no , no , no -- marlena : do n't let him get to you -- that 's what he wants . do n't let him do it . john : hey , hey , hey , hey . doc , you sure you 're up for this ? marlena : [ quietly ] i am up for this . john : all right . i 'll be right outside here . marlena : okay . [ john murmurs ] paul : why do n't you get outta here , go check in with your family ? sonny : but if he tells marlena something -- paul : the second i find out anything , i will let you know . okay ? [ tense music ] john : hey , hey , hey . all right , all right , just cool down . hope : it 's up to marlena now . [ intense musical sting ] ben : what are you doin ' here ? what ? you wan na scream at me for saying your grandson 's alive ? go ahead . knock yourself out . marlena : i do n't wan na scream at you . [ soft music ] i wan na know why you said what you did about will . ben : i thought i made myself pretty clear about that . marlena : i 'd like to hear it from you , ben . ben : [ sighs ] i came back to tell sonny the good news ... that the real love of his life is alive . marlena : not to break up the wedding ? ben : yeah . i escaped the fricking nuthouse and risked getting caught for that . marlena : well , you got ta admit that your timing makes it look that way , do n't you think ? ben : read into it however you want . marlena : well , you showed up . it was conspicuous timing . the wedding was about to go on . ben : you people act like i 'm a monster ! [ soft , dramatic music ] maybe because of what i did , i am . but when i escaped bayview ... i could have just disappeared . and i didn't . i didn't . instead , i risked everything so people like sonny and you and everyone else that cared about will would know the truth . what do i get for my efforts ? disrespect ? worse than that , i get treated like dirt -- i get attacked , i get shunned and scorned like i rained on your damn parade ! screw that . [ whispers ] screw that . i 'm done ... wasting my energy ... on a bunch ... of ingrates . so i say ... [ screaming ] to hell with all of you ! marlena : uh -- [ dramatic music continues ] chad : we 've been through a lot ... came out the other side . abigail : mm - hmm . stronger than ever . chad : love you so much . more than words ... could ever express . abigail : well , then how 'bout you find another way ? chad : oh ... okay . abigail : uh - huh , uh - huh ... [ poignant music ] victor : i realize you needed a little push to take control of the situation . brady : i should have thought it out more thoroughly . victor : would you rather eric was still here ? working side - by - side with nicole every day , day after day ? maybe even sleeping together -- brady : stop -- don't . don't . do n't do that . victor : no ? which would be worse ... the guilt of his leaving or ... the constant worry that the two of them make a fool of you ? you 'd be made into a cuckold . brady : [ scoffs ] cuckold . what is -- what is with that word ? victor : do n't know what it means , look it up . brady : i know what it means . victor : then get on with it . you made the right choice . live with it -- stop kicking yourself . you won . brady : i 'm glad i won . just wish i was happier about the way i did it . nicole : i can't ... believe that brady knew how eric felt about me . did eric tell him too ? chloe : no . i did that ... accidentally . brady acted like he already knew , but i had my doubts . but then when i said it , the look on his face -- i could tell that he did n't actually know a thing . nicole : it 's hard to believe that ... brady 's known this whole time and did n't do anything . [ lightly edgy music ] what ? chloe . chloe : well , uh ... he ... he told eric to fire you . nicole : what ? but he did n't fire me . chloe : yeah . because eric could n't bear the idea of making you leave a job that you love . nicole : so he left a job he loved instead . chloe : yeah , i mean , the thing is , eric cares about you and brady . i mean , he just -- he did n't want to interfere with your happiness . nicole : that 's what brady said at the wedding in front of all those people -- you have to do ... everything you can , no matter what or who gets in your way , to be with the person you love . i guess this is ... what he was talking about . chloe : i hope that you do n't hate me for telling you this . nicole : no , i ... i don't . i ... i 'm glad you did . chloe : so ... what are you gon na do now ? [ dramatic musical buildup ] it 's all pop - culture trivia , but it gets pretty intense . gabi : so they -- they did it . chad and ... and abigail got married again . rafe : uh - huh . gabi : good for them . rafe : are you okay ? gabi : yeah . of course . [ stammers ] i ... i knew the wedding was gon na happen . i just ... thought that with everything that happened today , it just -- well , you know what , it does n't even matter . does n't matter . rafe : you see this ? see , that 's ... gabi : what ? rafe : that 's why i did not want you messing with her . gabi : rafe , stop , okay ? please stop trying to protect me . rafe : i 'm not gon na stop protecting you , okay ? i 'm your big brother . it 's my job . i am always gon na protect you , and i do n't give a damn if you or anyone else has a problem with that , okay ? eli : message received . gabi : you know what ? you 're actually right about something . i 've had a really long day . it 's a lot for me to take in , so i would like some alone time . rafe : you heard her . gabi : can you go , please ? i 'll be fine . rafe : okay . [ soft instrumentals ] gabi : [ sighs ] eli : well , uh ... i should ... i should probably get going too . gabi : i 'm sorry about rafe . eli : no , it 's -- it 's fine . i 'd be the same way if you were my sister . but ... [ both chuckle ] i 'm glad you 're not . gabi : me , too . eli : okay , well , look , i -- i just really wanted to make sure that you 're okay about chad and abigail . are you ? chad : is there anything ... mrs . dimera would like before she retires for the evening ? abigail : mmm ... forgot how much i love it when you call me mrs . dimera . mrs. dimera . chad : well , lucky for you , you 're gon na be hearing it for the rest of your life , so ... abigail : you know , there is something i would like . chad : name it . abigail : i wan na go upstairs , and i wan na spend the whole night with you . [ soft chords ] chad : done . abigail : after you . chad : okay ! [ abigail giggling ] john : hey ... how you doin ' , buddy ? paul : i - i just hope that i 'll ... i 'll be able to help sonny get through the pain of losing will all over again . john : what do you mean ? paul : well , that 's what it 's gon na be like when marlena gets ben to admit that he was lying . john : okay . let me ask you somethin ' . have you given any thought as to how ... you 're gon na handle it if ... ben 's telling the truth ? ben : i have to say ... you know how to keep your cool . did n't even flinch when i blew up just now . marlena : i think you were raging for a reason . ben : for what ? marlena : guilt . ben : [ scoffs ] [ somber music ] marlena : ben . [ softly ] i watched you in the church . i saw your face . i saw the remorse . i saw the regret you felt at hurting willing . ben : you need to get your eyes checked . marlena : you were friends . you were close friends . and will was kind to you . ben : lotta good that did him , huh ? [ sniffles ] guy shoulda known i was a lost cause . marlena : he never felt that way about you . ben : think i care ? marlena : [ whispers ] i do . i think you do care . [ ominous riff ] ben : what do you want from me ? marlena : i 'd like some answers from you . i think it 'll be easy for you . ben : you 'd be wasting your time . [ cuffs clink against table ] but , hey , i got nothing better to do . fire away . nicole : how ... how could i be so clueless ? chloe : well , do n't blame yourself . eric and brady both did a darn good job of keeping this from you . nicole : would you mind ... watching holly for a few hours ? chloe : of course not . nicole : you sure ? holly : are you kidding ? i love spending time with her . but where are you going ? [ holly fussing ] nicole : honey , mommy has to go do something . i 'll be back . chloe : are you gon na go confront brady ? nicole : she 's just had a bottle , so she should n't be hungry for a while . chloe : nicole , please tell me what you 're gon na go do . nicole : i 'll be in touch . [ lightly edgy music ] brady : think about this before you do something rash , okay ? i 'm telling you , these campaigns are coming along well . you tell me what marketing needs , and i can make it happen . that 's not a problem . sonny : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? brady : call you back . what am i doing ? those employees that you fired ? created one hell of a mess . they 're off getting better jobs , okay , so i authorized marketing to compensate the existing employees for overtime . well , that 's not your decision to make . brady : well , since i 've been making most of the decisions since you 've been in jail , i -- sonny : well , i 'm not in jail anymore , am i ? victor : what is all this yelling about ? sonny : uncle vic , could you kindly inform your grandson that i am still the ceo , and as ceo , i am the one in charge . brady : sonny , sonny . you -- look , you 've been through a lot -- you 're obviously a wreck from what happened today . i do n't blame you . why do n't you take some time -- sonny : no , i do n't need any time -- i need you out of my way ! brady : well , i 'm sorry ! i 'm not ready to give up this job , and from the look of it , my friend , you 're in no position to take it back ! paul : you 're not buying any of this garbage , are you ? john : hey , come on , son . you know me . i just think it 's important to ... always be prepared for any possibility . paul : what i am prepared for is to help sonny work through having his hope shattered once again . and what this psychopath is doing -- this is beyond cruel ! john : hey , ca n't argue with that . paul : i mean , he 's just trying to mess with our relationship . he 's not gon na succeed , though . i mean , look , you were there at the church , right ? john : yeah . paul : y - you heard sonny say that i was his true north ... that i was able to bring him back from heartache . john : yeah , i heard that , and you did . paul : and i 'll do it again if i have to . i 'll be damned if i let ben weston destroy what sonny and i have together ! [ somber music ] marlena : ben ... let 's start with what happened at the church . you said will was alive . ben : yes . marlena : how is that possible ? ben : i do n't know . marlena : did , um ... did you ... did you see him ... alive after you strangled him ? ben : no . marlena : but you 're sure that he survived . ben : yes . marlena : i - i do n't understand -- if you did see him dead , then how is it possible that he did survive it ? ben : i do n't know . [ eerie music ] marlena : did somebody tell you ? is that it ? did somebody tell you that ... will is alive ? ben : yes . marlena : who told you ? was it a voice in your head ? ben : no ! marlena : it was a real person . ben : yes ! marlena : somebody at bayview ? ben : maybe . marlena : a - a - a doctor , a nurse , an orderly , a - a - a patient ? ben : no , no , no . [ marlena sighs ] marlena : a visitor ?
