[ scene_break ] kate : you ca n't be serious . it 's like you have n't heard a single word i 've said . i just finished explaining to you , reminding you of all of sami 's crimes committed when she posed as stan . how could i have helped you save her life ? austin : because you have . i listened to every word you said , and it suddenly clicked . there is no way sami can be prosecuted for the things she 's accused of . thank you , mom . you have no idea how much you just helped . kate : austin -- [ scene_break ] austin : hey , roman , it 's austin . i need to talk to you and mickey right now . it 's really important . roman : all right . come in . sami : austin , austin , they just said that if i 'm convicted of treason , they 're gon na execute me -- that i could be going to death row again . austin : you can forget about that . there 's no way in hell i 'm gon na let that happen . sami : what ? austin : no way . [ scene_break ] jennifer : well , is anyone gon na answer me ? what am i gon na be so upset and angry about ? jack : well , um , really , upset is n't really the right word . it 's really more , um ... it 's more disappointed , actually , because , you see , i 'm working on this really big research project . jennifer : a research project -- you did n't tell me anything about that , jack . jack : exactly -- i did n't tell you . you 're already a little disappointed and about to be upset . jennifer : no , i 'm not upset . you always ask for my help when you have a big project . jack : that 's true , but not this time . this time , you 're not being asked for help . jennifer : well , what is it ? what 's it about ? jack : well , that 's just the thing . it 's confidential for the moment -- confidential . jennifer : jack , i am your wife . we have never kept secrets from each other about anything , ever . jack : true , but this time , i - i need -- i need -- i need -- i need to do it on my own . jennifer : frankie , do you know something about what jack 's working on ? jack : he does , but he has been sworn to secrecy . jennifer : oh , i see . so frankie can know , but i ca n't -- your wife . jack : [ stuttering ] yes . and when the time is right , you will see -- it will all be revealed . and you 'll realize why i could n't share it with you , my lovely , inquisitive journalist of a wife . jennifer : okay , i wo n't push . i just came in to tell you there 's a pot of coffee ready if anyone would like some . frankie : i could use a cup . jack : oh , good . you guys go ahead and have some coffee . i 'm gon na just stay here and get back to work on this . jennifer : without coffee ? jack : uh , yes . you see , i 'm just -- i 'm buzzing , buzzing from the ideas that are hitting me right now with this project . it 's very exciting . jennifer : you really are being very mysterious , jack deveraux . jack : it seems that . it does . but i 'm telling you , when the time comes , you 'll know why . in the meantime , if you 'll both excuse me , i need to get back to it 'cause time 's a - wasting , and i 'm on a bit of a deadline here . jennifer : all right . i can see we 're not wanted in here at the moment . come on , frankie , let 's go have some coffee . frankie : yeah . jack : [ sighs ] all right . back to my project -- to find an expedient , painless way to die . [ scene_break ] marlena : i did n't realize it was my birthday . john : well , it is . like i said , i had plans . alex : excuse me , but you know the rules , john . you should have run any plans you made for marlena past me first , although it seems a moot point now , in light of the circumstances . john : this is between my wife and me . stay the hell out of it . marlena : please do n't take your anger out on -- john : i do n't understand why you 're doing this . less than an hour ago , we were sitting around , having coffee , talking about belle and the baby and our family . and we were making some progress . even belle felt the same thing when you visited her in the hospital . she thought you were on the verge of a breakthrough , and , hell , you just walk out on her . and out of nowhere , you ask me for a divorce . why is that ? marlena : it 's simple , john . i do n't love you . john : marlena -- marlena : i 'm sorry . i know that must be upsetting to hear . john : you just do n't remember . marlena : you know what ? a woman is supposed to love her husband . at the least , a woman should feel that he 's not a stranger . and , john , being married to you makes me uncomfortable . i feel like i 'm living with a stranger . john : your memory 's gon na come back , and you will remember how much in love we were . marlena : and you also keep pressuring me . that 's why i need to have you out of here . oh , my gosh , you pressure me . you try to undermine the faith that i have in my doctor . that 's why i need you out . that 's why i want to be alone . john : okay , now i understand . you 're the one behind this , pal . [ scene_break ] sami : austin -- roman : look , austin , i do n't want my daughter going to prison any more than you do . but these charges are serious . mickey : i 'm afraid that roman is right . avoiding a conviction is not going to be easy , and probably the best thing we can hope for is a plea bargain . so i 'm recommending that sami plead guilty on the condition that the death sentence is taken off the table . austin : with all due respect , mickey , there 's not gon na be a need for a plea bargain because there 's not gon na be any conviction . and if i 'm right , there 's not going to even be a trial . kate : austin , of course there 's going to be a trial . sami was working with tony dimera . she teamed up with him . she lured those boys into his trap . she betrayed all five of them . roman : she 's right . and all five will bear witness to that fact , and they will all be subpoenaed to testify . kate : which i 'm sure they gladly will . they put their faith , they put their trust in this person . and they almost lost their lives because of it when she handed them over to the enemy . sami : that is not how it happened . i never wanted them to die . kate : tell that to the jury . sami : austin , you said there 's a way you could prove i was innocent , that i do n't have to stand trial . austin : no , i did not say i can prove you 're innocent . like your dad said , there are plenty of witnesses to testify against you . kate : now you 're finally talking sense . roman : austin , if you 're aware of this fact , why did you say that sami would n't stand trial ? austin : because there is no way they can prosecute her for the things that she is being charged with . [ scene_break ] mickey : i have read the indictment , and there 's no way that sami can deny that she was stan or that she turned over u.s. citizens to an enemy in a country where we were engaged in war . and by definition , this is high treason . austin : except for one thing , mickey -- they have the facts all wrong . sami : austin , you really think you can get them to drop the charges ? austin : i 'm sure of it . kate : this is beyond ludicrous -- beyond . roman : all right , austin , go ahead . make your case . austin : i just have a question for sami . all right , how did you end up becoming this person stan in the first place ? be honest , because your life could depend on it . sami : okay , all right , i 'll tell you the whole story . well , it started when kate drugged me and brandon and sabotaged my wedding to lucas . and after that , i was devastated . i 'd lost the man that i love . i 'd lost my son . and i was the lowest i 'd ever been in my whole life . and that 's when my so - called mysterious benefactor convinced me to turn myself into stan . roman : and tony being that mysterious benefactor . sami : right . but i did n't know that it was tony , dad . i just thought it was this guy . he was only text - messaging me , and then he would call me on the phone and disguise his voice . and , frankly , i did n't care who it was . i just thought it was some mysterious stranger who wanted to help me get revenge on the people who had hurt me . kate : you certainly did that , and some . sami : actually , i did n't . i never got to do any of it . i mean , i tried to hurt john and kate , only because i knew -- even though i did n't have proof , i knew that kate was behind what happened to me and lucas . and john took her side , and then he put her in my mom 's house to take her place , and i could n't stand that . austin : go on , sami . tell us more about tony , or this mystery person . sami : well , then he tricked me onto a plane and into the war zone . and i ended up in a bunker where philip was already being held hostage . dad , i swear , as soon as i found out that it was tony , i was horrified , and i did n't want to have anything to do with him . but he showed me proof that you and mom were still alive , and he promised that he would bring you home safely if i helped him . kate : hmm , and that 's when you betrayed lucas and philip and rex and brady and shawn . that 's when you committed treason . why do n't you understand that , austin ? austin : because that 's just it -- it was n't treason , not even close . roman : austin , how do you figure that ? austin : okay , the fact is , lucas , rex , shawn , and brady -- they were in no way affiliated with the united states military . they were acting on their own as armed mercenaries in a hostile country out of u.s. jurisdiction with no treaty agreement . you know , if i understand correctly , they were wanted by the marines for escaping protective custody after they had been discovered . and secondly , and i think more importantly , tony dimera , as hated as he is , was never the declared enemy . roman : all right . but he was a wanted criminal . austin : yeah , but the point is , sami was n't working in conjunction with the enemy of our country . actually , her turning the men of salem over to tony probably saved them from being killed or captured . [ scene_break ] sami : you 're right . i mean , they were way over their heads in that war zone . there were bombs and gunfire . it was a nightmare . kate : sami , tony was trying to kill them . sami : he never said that . he promised me that he would n't hurt them . kate : oh , please . and you believed him ? sami : well , he had n't killed anybody else , not even my parents . he had proof that my mom and dad were still alive . i thought that they 'd be safer there than in the war zone . kate : then why were you still pretending to be stan ? austin : for protection , obviously . can you imagine what would have happened to sami -- a young , beautiful civilian in a war zone ? turning yourself and disguising yourself as a man was probably one of the smartest things she could have done . the point here is that nothing sami did was under u.s. jurisdiction . it certainly was n't treason , because she did n't betray anyone to an enemy of our country . as a matter of fact , she 's responsible for saving those guys from tony . she not only is n't a criminal . my opinion -- she 's a bona fide hero . kate : [ groans ] roman : you know what , mickey ? he might be right . i mean , obviously , sami is n't totally innocent , but ... mickey : under the law , she may not be prosecutable for any of these crimes . sami : [ gasps , laughs ] [ scene_break ] jennifer : i 'm really getting excited for jack 's party . it 's really coming together so well . i 'm just not sure what i want to do about the music . i mean , i know julie and doug are gon na sing , but as far as dancing , i do n't know if i should have a live band or a deejay . what do you think ? frankie : hmm ? what ? jennifer : band or deejay for jack 's party . frankie : do n't know -- that 's a tough call , jen . jennifer : what 's wrong ? frankie : nothing , why ? why do you ask ? jennifer : you just seem distracted , like something 's bothering you . frankie : i guess i am . i 'm sorry . jennifer : no , it 's okay . is it something you want to talk about ? frankie : yes . yes , it is . um ... i do n't think this party is such a good idea , jen . [ scene_break ] jack : [ sighs ] god bless the internet -- total access to all the spectator 's archives . [ chuckles ] who knew there were so many ways to shuffle off this mortal coil ? lexie : you 're not going to tell them you 're dying , are you ? jack : no . no , i 'm not . the greatest gift that i can give them is just to have some -- just a few special , wonderful , happy memories in these few months that we have left . [ scene_break ] alex : i know you 'd like to blame me , john , but i assure you , i had absolutely nothing to do with marlena 's decision . is n't that right ? marlena : that 's right . i wanted the divorce all by myself . john : i do n't believe that . alex : she just told you -- john : would you get out of here so i can talk to my wife ? alex : all right , of course ... if that 's what you want . marlena : no , it 's not . i do n't want you to go . john : okay . well , in that case , would you excuse us for a second ? i 'd like to have a word with the doctor . alex : fine . [ scene_break ] john : all right , north , i 've had it with you , pal . alex : likewise . and so , clearly , has your wife . she told you she ca n't take any more of your constant badgering . you 've pushed her over the edge . now she wants nothing more to do with you . you 've brought this all on yourself . john : oh , no . you 're responsible for this . you 've been trying to keep us apart from day one . alex : for her good . for both of you ... so that maybe , without all the pressure , she could get her memory back . i tried to warn you that this could happen when you took her away from the cabin . john : i 'm gon na warn you right now . i have n't figured out what kind of game you 're playing yet , but i know you 're behind this divorce business . and if you do n't get out of my house right now ... alex : you 'll what ? john : i 'm gon na throw your ass off that balcony , and do n't think i wo n't . alex : i do n't think throwing me off the balcony is going to be as easy as you imagine , mr. black . but such a confrontation would upset my patient . i do n't think that 's what you want , is it ? john : [ inhales sharply ] i just want you gone . my suggestion would be to use the front door . alex : fine . i 'll go ... not that it 'll make any difference . she 's not going to change her mind . john : not as long as you 're messing with it . get out of here . [ scene_break ] marlena : well , is everything worked out ? alex : oh , everything 's fine . listen , i do think , though , that you and john need some private time to talk . marlena : are you sure ? i 'm not sure . alex : you 'll be okay . i wo n't be gone long . [ scene_break ] marlena : all right , we 're alone . i 'm not sure whatever you have to say is going to change anything . i 'm not saying that to be cruel . it 's just the way that i 'm feeling about it . john : i 'd still like to give you your birthday present . marlena : i do n't feel comfortable doing -- john : please , i insist . happy birthday . marlena : what is it ? john : open it . marlena : oh . uh , a photo album . is this your way of trying to get me to remember ? john : yeah , that 's exactly -- why do you act like that 's a bad thing ? do n't you want to remember ? you do want to get your memory back , do n't you ? marlena : of course i do . why would n't i ? john : all right , then just go on . open it . that 's all i 'm asking . come on , you got nothing to lose . you got everything to gain . just -- just take a look at it . will you do that much for me -- for what we shared ? just do it , and then i 'll go , if that 's what you really want . [ scene_break ] sami : what do you think ? it makes sense , what austin said ? kate : like hell it does . austin : mickey , roman , you have to admit it does . roman : mickey ? mickey : well , i think i need to call the d.a . and the u.s. attorney and see what they have to say . roman : i think that 's a good idea . i 'll go with you . sami : dad , dad , please , please , you think i have a chance , right ? roman : do n't get too excited , all right ? we 're just checking this out . mickey : we 'll let you know as soon as we find out anything . sami : oh , austin , austin , thank you . [ scene_break ] kate : [ groans ] austin : do n't even start . kate : i 'd like to know exactly what sami did to you last night in her apartment that just made you totally lose your mind . austin , she 's a criminal . austin : she 's not , and you know it . she 's certainly not a traitor to her country . she 's just as much a victim in this as anyone else . kate : a victim ? austin : of your schemes . if you had n't interfered -- kate : i 'm the one who almost got your brothers killed ? austin : that 's not what i 'm saying . but your actions did n't help . i really believe she 's responsible for saving the lives of my brothers and brady and shawn . sami : he 's right . i mean , i risked my life to save lucas and those guys . i was n't about to let them get hurt , even if it meant that i had to die . does n't that mean anything to you , kate ? i know that if will were hurt and someone rescued him , i would be grateful , even if they were my worst enemy . kate : spare me , okay ? just spare me . i ca n't believe you have the nerve to try to make yourself out as some kind of hero . i do n't care what austin says . this lame attempt to rationalize what you did -- it 's going nowhere with me . you are going down , and i hope you fry . [ scene_break ] jennifer : why do you think throwing jack this party would be such a bad idea ? frankie : i just do n't think jack 's up for it , that 's all . jennifer : of course he is . there is nothing that jack would love more than a giant celebration with his family and friends . i have invited everyone that he 's known his whole life . i mean , college roommates , professors from college , colleagues from the newspaper . i even invited this little boy that he grew up next to his whole life . he 'll be thrilled . frankie : you 're right . maybe this is exactly what jack needs to change his mind . jennifer : change his mind about what ? [ scene_break ] jack : this is perfect -- meets all my criteria , right down to the not - so- grisly details . so now the date . all right , let 's see . we got , uh ... halloween . well , got ta love the irony . it 's a couple weeks away , and jennifer always said she came to love me for my fatalistic sense of humor . at least i can show her i kept it right up to the end . [ telephone rings ] um ... hello ? jo ? oh , jo , yes , uh , uh ... no , no , no , i have not forgotten to pick up jack jr. tell vern he can teach him to read all the bylines he wants . i 'll be right there . yeah , yeah . chip off the old block . no , no , this is perfect . this is perfect . this 'll be the way to go -- no doubt about it . [ scene_break ] austin : mom , how can you say that ? i mean , you really want sami to be put to death ? sami : are you kidding ? she 'd love it . kate : it 's not what i meant , okay ? as much as i do n't like it , she is the mother of my grandson . austin : you just said you hope she fries . kate : it was a figure of speech . but i do think she should pay for what she did , yes . sami : i have paid . kate : oh , please . there -- there is no denying that you were -- and still are -- stan . you were teamed up with tony dimera . she was responsible for almost getting your brothers killed . i do n't see how you could just forgive and forget that , austin . austin : i do n't think any of it was intentional , and i do n't think any of it would have happened if you had n't interfered in her life . i believe that when she lost lucas and will , she was out of her mind with grief . she was in a very desperate and vulnerable place . kate : i do n't care . i do n't care how desperate she was . there is no excuse for what she did . sami : give me a break , kate . you come up with all sorts of justifications for the things that you have done to me , and you ca n't find a way to understand what drove me to do what i did ? kate : there 's a big difference between the two of us . when i went in to stop lucas from marrying you , it was to save lives . when you masqueraded as stan , it was to destroy lives , sami . austin : that is enough . that 's enough . sami : dad . dad , so , what happened ? what did the d.a . say ? austin : is sami off the hook ? mickey : well , we spoke to the d.a . and the u.s. attorney , and we laid out your argument before them , austin . in my opinion , it was a damn good one . roman : and we got their answer . kate : oh , for god 's sakes , would you just tell us -- is it good news or is it bad news ? [ scene_break ] jennifer : frankie , what are you saying ? what would this party make jack change his mind about ? frankie : maybe -- maybe change his mind ... about surprise parties , of course . you 're right , jen . having old friends and family around -- how could jack not have a good time ? jennifer : jack 's always loved surprise parties . frankie : he has ? jennifer : yes , that 's why i 'm keeping it a surprise . frankie : oh , well , then , there 's no problem , is there ? jennifer : you 're starting to sound like my husband . the two of you have been spending way too much time together . speaking of which , he is still working on that mysterious project . he 's been at that computer for hours . frankie : sorry , i ca n't help . jennifer : that 's all right . i will get it out of him . in fact , i 'm gon na make him take a break , whether he wants one or not . frankie : i could n't agree more . [ scene_break ] jennifer : let 's go see if he wants any of this coffee that we could n't talk him into before . so , how 's it going -- the big project ? jack : it 's going great . in fact -- in fact , i 'm really excited . jennifer : good , good . that 's wonderful . so , you ready for that cup of coffee now ? jack : uh ... no . no . i 'm on to you . i 'm not gon na let you do that . jennifer : what am i doing ? jack : you 're trying to ply me with caffeine so my motor mouth will get going , but it 's not going to work , and i 'm not talking . jennifer : one sip , motor mouth , one sip . jack : no , no , no . actually , i have to go get jack jr. before vern turns him into the youngest copy editor the spectator has ever seen . so , i 'm out of here . can i get either of you anything ? jennifer : no . frankie : i 'm good . jack : well , i 'll be back in a jiff . jennifer : jack ... jack : yes ? jennifer : you just -- you seem so happy . whatever this research is , it must be very exciting . jack : it is . it is . it 's downright , uh ... life - altering .

for good ? ej : so i was thinking , maybe we should just skip our engagement party this evening . sami : what ? why ? ej : so we can make love all night long . sami : mm . well , that is a wonderful plan for tomorrow . i 'm absolutely not gon na miss my -- i mean , our party . ej : mm - hmm . sami : [ laughs ] ej : you know my father 's going to be there , right ? sami : yes , but he 's everywhere , right ? we live with him now . you know , i was thinking about it though . his bad karma is totally balanced out by my brother the priest 's good karma . and we 're gon na be surrounded by my family and friends of whom i have so few . ej : right . i forgot they 're all so thrilled about this wedding . sami : you are gon na charm them . ej : speaking of which , did you mention to your father that we 're having this party ? sonny : do n't -- do -- i have n't , okay ? i will . i promise i will . i 'm just getting up the nerve . ej : mm . gon na have to mount quite the charm offensive . but you do have quite the knack for getting what you want . sami : speaking of , you know what i want ? ej : i know exactly what you want . sami : mmm . kayla : jj . jj , listen to me . you need to know that this was a really long time ago . and i - i did something to hurt your dad . i mean , i would never -- i could never justify what he did . but you need to understand that he was a very different person then . this is long before you or abigail were born -- jj : stop ! i do n't wan na hear any more ! kayla : jj . daniel : hey , hey , hey . what 's going on in here ? kayla : we 're okay . jj : no , we 're not okay ! nick : gabi , you have no idea how happy we can be . we just have to get out of this damn town . [ sighs ] i promise you , i 'm not giving up on us . i 'm gon na make all of our dreams come true . kate : i do n't recall ever saying i was going to have that conversation and i certainly do n't recall ever saying that i was in love with him . gabi : well , okay , you did n't use those exact words , but it was pretty obvious that 's w -- kate : no , what 's obvious is that rafe , right now , needs to concentrate on getting better . that 's the only thing that matters . gabi : okay , but if he knew how you felt , maybe it 'd give him even more motivation to get better . kate : oh , believe me , he has plenty of motivation . gabi , i ca n't force him . look , tell him i had to go and you enjoy your visit . gabi : okay . kate : bye . jordan : i ca n't tell you when you 'll be ready to go home . rafe : a week ? two ? three ? jordan : i said i ca n't -- rafe : no , i just want an estimate , okay ? what 's your best guess ? jordan : fine . two years , give or take . rafe : two years ? are you out of your mind ? i 'm not staying here for two years in this bed . you got ta -- no . i 'll get a new -- oh ... okay . you 're just messing with me . jordan : just trying to give you a little extra inspiration . rafe : or maybe a stroke . jordan : you are the only one that can determine when you will get out of here . take it easy . get some rest . rafe : yeah . you 're gon na pay for that ... joke . [ door closes ] ej : you okay ? i think this is the quietest i 've ever seen you . sami : no , it 's just ... thinking about how lucky i am . and how marge has to live with -- ej , if i ever lost you , i do n't know what i would do . ej : stop . you do n't need to worry about that because i 'm not going anywhere . daniel : are you all right ? no , you 're not all right . what -- what did he do ? kayla : no , it -- it was n't jj 's fault . he just heard some really upsetting news today and -- if you could have seen the look on his face , the way he reacted . i 'm really afraid of what he might do next . daniel : all right , do n't worry about it . i 'll go after him . kayla : daniel . daniel : no , i got this . rory : dude . jj , what happ -- jj : do n't wan na talk about it . rory : hey -- jj : i said i do n't wan na talk about it ! rory : whatever , man . jennifer : jj ! oh , no . oh , no . oh , god . oh , jj . kayla : yes , jack deveraux ... raped me . | marge ran into ej and sami and read them the riot act for what happened to her husband . sami tried to comfort marge , but it did n't work . jj tried to trick adrienne into spilling the beans about what jack did to kayla . adrienne managed to realize that jj did n't know that jack raped kayla . jj ran out of the house when adrienne called jennifer . gabi let nick know that they were better off as friends . jennifer arrived at the kiriakis mansion to talk to adrienne . adrienne let jennifer know that she almost told jack the truth . jj and his friends went to jennifer 's house to get the truth about jack . jj looked through old transcripts that jennifer had of lawrence 's trial . jj found something while looking through the transcripts . |
jj : hey , how 's it going ? paige : jj , why did n't you tell me about your dad and aunt kayla ? jj : my dad and -- are you kidding me ? aunt kayla told you about that ? why ? [ knock at door ] will : mom , hi . come in . sami : thanks , thanks . um , i brought this for my granddaughter . will : thank you . um ... you know the party is for johnny , allie , and sydney ? sami : oh , yeah , of course , but i did n't want arianna to feel left out , wondering why all the other kids are getting so much attention . will : that 's very sweet . sami : no , you and sonny throwing this party , that 's -- that 's very sweet of you . will : i need to talk to you about something . sami : okay , good , 'cause i need to talk to you too . i mean , i 'm sorry that i let lucas be the one to tell you about ej and me . i mean -- will : whoa . what about you and ej ? sami : that we 're back together . but you should have seen the kids . i mean , when they came home from camp and we were all just having so much fun on the sofa -- will : excuse me ? you took that creep back ? ej : you son of a bitch . chad : what 's the matter , bro ? what happened to all that british cool ? ej : i want you out of this house . chad : yeah , i think you 'd better check with kate about that . you know , from what i hear , she 's got more say than you do about who bunks here and who does n't . ej : oh , i see . you 're sucking up to her , are you ? chad : yeah , why not ? she 's always been good to me , better than my own damn family . ej : you little twit . do you have any idea what you have done ? chad : oh , i get it now . you talked to stefano . john : kristen 's back ? and brady 's with her ? marlena : yeah , right now . john : i was hoping this head injury was making me hear things . marlena : no , i 'm afraid it 's true . john , i 'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news . john : give me your phone . marlena : what ? john : doc , please , just give me your phone now . brady : no , no , no , i ca n't do that . kristen : brady . brady , wait . after everything i sacrificed to come back here , after saving your father 's life -- and i hope you know i did that for you -- do you really want me just to walk away and pretend i never met you ? is that really what you want ? caroline : oh , it 's about time i had a chance to thank you . eric : for what ? caroline : john is gon na be all right because of you . eric : grandma , it 's because of the army of doctors who work for the dimeras . all i did was just make a deal with kristen . caroline : [ sighs ] it must have killed you to lose your chance to put her away . eric : it 's not what it just did to me . it 's -- i feel like i gave kristen another shot at brady . caroline : well , he certainly must be onto her by now . eric : grandma , she 's responsible for john coming out of his coma . caroline : ugh . knowing her , she 's gon na milk the florence nightingale bit from here to tomorrow . oh . [ scoffs ] brady : do n't start this . kristen : it never ended for us , brady . brady : you drugged my brother and had sex with him when he was out of it . it was over then . i just did n't know it . kristen : you still want me . brady : i still want cocaine , too , but some impulses you just do n't act on . kristen : then why are you here ? brady : because i wanted to thank you for bringing my father back . that 's why . kristen : i do n't want your thanks . [ cell phone rings ] brady : marlena , is dad okay ? marlena : uh , he 's ... he 's better than okay . he 's barking orders . brady : [ chuckles ] that 's -- that 's great . marlena : he would like to see you . brady : when ? marlena : as soon as possible . in fact , he would like you to bring kristen with you . my budget used to be a real downer , paige : i do n't know why you 're making such a big deal out of this . jj : you do n't ? paige : i mean , i guess it 's sort of a random connection . jj : is that what you call it ? paige : well , your dad just happened to be kayla 's patient when she was a private duty nurse and when she first decided to become a doctor . what would you call it ? jj : oh , uh -- well , yeah , i mean , i guess i see what you mean . paige : i mean , it 's kind of weird , right ? he just walks into her office without a clue that her boyfriend is his brother ? i mean ... so now she 's your aunt ? i do n't know . it 's just weird . jj : so , that 's what she told you ? paige : yeah , why do you seem so surprised ? jj : oh , well , because , i mean , even i do n't know all the details . that happened before my parents were married , and , well , my mom just does n't like to talk about it that much . paige : why ? jj : uh , my dad had cancer . paige : oh , i 'm sorry . but if you did n't know what happened , then why were you so upset when i told you what she told me ? jj : um ... paige : jj ? [ baby cries ] jj : well , parker did say that naps are for babies . i guess he 's not letting go of that idea . just let me -- paige : no , let me . i have n't seen him for a while . sami : i guess i just thought that -- will : that somebody else would have given me the happy news that you 're back together with that cheating scum of a husband ? sami : uh , will , ej has been very good to you , so you do n't -- will : yeah , and then he seduced my cousin while he was engaged to my mother , so , no , i 'm sorry -- i 'm not gon na be spending anymore male - bonding time with him . sami : god , why did n't lucas just say something ? is it so hard ? will : no , what dad did or did not say is not the issue here , mom . sami : no , obviously , it 's not . will : nobody told me because they probably did n't want to talk about it . they probably did n't even want to think about it . sami : which is obviously how you feel as well . will : after what ej did , how could you even consider taking him back ? i mean , do you have any pride at all ? ej : you seem to think that you have been very clever . but you do n't have any idea how serious this is . you have unleashed a monster on me and my family . chad : oh , give me a break . look , i was here when you took the company from the old man . he huffed and puffed and took off with this cecily ... or whatever her name was . that was business . that turns him on . it 's like his chess game . he loves trying to win everything back . this , i can assure you , is very different . chad : how ? ej : he knows it was me who turned him into the police . he knows that if he comes back to this town , he 's going to prison for a very long time . and he knows that because of you . chad : are you so clueless or , no offense , so stupid that you did n't think that he 'd find that out from someone ? ej : no . i knew he 'd probably find out . it was a chance i had to take to protect samantha and that ungrateful hag , i take it , you 're in league with . chad : [ chuckles ] payback 's a bitch . ej : well , so is kate . so good luck with that . paige : i swear , parker . no big train went through your room . it was just a bad dream . you 're not buying that , huh ? jennifer : it was a matter of the right time . jj : mom , you allowed me to live in this fantasy about dad . i - i - i thought that he was this weird , funny guy that goes on adventures , and then i find out that -- you know what ? i ca n't even say it ! paige : okay , trains only run on railroad tracks . you know that , right ? okay , do you see any railroad tracks on your floor ? no , see ? feel better ? that 's good because even big guys need naps . i still take naps sometimes . so does jj . honest . you are so not a baby anymore , okay ? you want your bear ? jj : how am i supposed to tell paige something like that ? paige : something like what ? jj : oh . it 's about my dad . um ... you wanted to know why i got so upset when you told me that aunt kayla told you about him and her . paige : is something wrong ? jj : yeah , uh , i mean , there sort of is . it 's just , uh ... i found out that my dad was n't always the guy that i thought was always so great . paige : okay . what do you mean ? jj : well , i just ... i guess -- i found out that , uh , before i was born and before my parents were married that , uh , he was pretty much a jerk . paige : that 's what my mother thinks . jj : well , she 's not totally wrong . and even after he married my mom , he put her through a lot . paige : like what ? jj : like , um ... just living here , you know , and being my mom 's husband and being our dad ... just was n't enough for him . he always -- he always had some big idea , you know , or he 'd take off on these adventures , and my mom and abigail ... they did n't really get that . and my aunt kayla and my dad 's own sister , aunt adrienne ... they always sided with my mom over his . everybody in the family did . paige : it must have made things a bit tricky for you and your dad . jj : yeah . it really did . it still does . paige : why ? jj : because i love my dad . but i just grew up hearing people say that they did n't like him or they just did n't like things that he did . and i still love him . [ chuckles ] i always will . paige : why would n't you ? he was good to you . jj : yeah . and that 's what i want to remember , so , um ... could you just do me a favor ? can you not talk to my aunt kayla about my dad anymore ? paige : yeah . i 'm really sorry . the last thing i want to do is bring any bad memories up . and as for your aunt kayla , talking to her , she 's , uh -- she 's probably told me more about her life than she ever wanted to at this point , so ... i 'll drop it . jj : thanks a lot . brady : tell dad i 'm on my way and tell him i 'll have kristen with me . my dad 's alert , and he wants -- kristen : an audience with me . you know what that means . brady : it means that marlena told him what you did ... 'cause i did n't . kristen : well , even if he does want to see me , it 's not going to be possible . brady : why not ? kristen : because you took out a restraining order against me , brady . i ca n't go anywhere near him , remember ? brady : yeah , i remember , but i can take care of that . kristen : why ? what are you doing ? brady : texting roman , and he will have the order lifted . kristen : he ca n't do that . he 's gon na have to talk to a judge . brady : he 'll make it happen . i 'll tell him that that is what my dad wants and that i will be with you . ready to go ? kristen : yeah . brady : let 's go . marlena : do you want to tell me why you 're doing this ? john : well , if i told you i knew what i was doing , would you believe me ? marlena : i 'd like to . john : when brady and kristen get here , i need you to do something for me . can i count on you ? marlena : you know , you 're being very mysterious . john : brady is with that woman alone right now , and he 's with her because of me . i need to take care of this my own way , but i ca n't do it without you , doc . sami : you came to my house . you brought your daughter with you . i actually believed that you wanted to have a truce with me . will : i did ... with you , not with ej . do you remember when gabi was dealing with nick , when we all trusted ej ? when abigail became suspicious , we asked him to go and talk to her . well , he did a lot more than talk . sami : and he was n't the only one . will : so now -- now you 're all about forgiveness . i - is that it ? a - are you gon na forgive abigail ? sami : i understand that she 's your cousin , but she is not an innocent victim in what happened . will : do not make this about her . do not try to pretend this is her fault . sami : i 'm not saying it 's all her fault , but she certainly has a history , i mean , she did pull quite a scam on austin . will : uncle austin did not sleep with her . your husband did . a - a - are you really telling yourself that some girl fresh out of college was able to manipulate ej dimera into an affair ? is that what you 're telling yourself , that she just -- she handcuffed him to the bed -- sami : oh , you just stop it ! stop right now . chad : so , if it 's a choice between trusting kate or trusting you , i think i 'll take my chances with her . ej : then you are a fool . chad : and you 're not ? look , you keep saying that all your problems are my fault , but did it ever occur to you that if you had n't been so nasty to kate , if you had n't have slept with the -- with the woman that i was in love with that you would n't be in this mess right now ? i guess it 's hard to admit that you are getting exactly what you deserve . ej : i know you 're very comfortable up there on your moral high ground . but did you ever stop to think about the kind of revenge that father is going to enact because of what you said ? chad : so you hit a little bump in the road . it 's happened before . ej : i have never informed on him to the police before . he sees that as the ultimate betrayal , but i 'm sure he told you that . chad : so ? i mean , what 's he gon na do , kill his own son ? ej : that is precisely what he will do . eric : is it possible to be a dimera and a decent human being at the same time ? caroline : well , i think it 's a little late for kristen ... and ej . i do n't know what john and marlena will do . if brady takes that woman back in his life ... well , thank god sami has seen the light about ej . eric : when 's the last time you talked to her about it ? caroline : when she told me about abigail . why ? eric : because i have talked to her , and she , uh -- caroline : oh , do n't tell me that she 's -- sami 's taken ej back ? eric : yes , grandma . she has . sami : [ sighs ] i should n't even be here . if you 're not gon na listen , then you 're never gon na understand . will : do n't go . please . i promise that i 'll listen ... even if i do n't understand . sami : [ sighs ] everybody makes mistakes , will , everybody . will : i know . i have a daughter that reminds me every day . sami : best mistake you ever made ? will : [ chuckles ] sami : i guess i want you to try to remember how you felt . remember how you lied to sonny about arianna and being her father ... how it made it seem like you were ashamed of her but the truth was you just did n't trust sonny to handle ... handle the truth about her ? will : i hurt a lot of people . sami : but sonny 's ... he 's your guy , right ? and you love him . and he loves you , so that means when -- so that means when you lie to him , it hurts him more . will : what are you getting at ? sami : i 'm sorry . um ... i know this is hard , but ... because you love sonny so much , if he made a mistake , if he did something terrible -- will : sonny would never cheat on me . sami : i hope not . but if he did ... and after a lot of pain and heartache and soul - searching you came to understand that it was just a mistake he had made and that he still loved you and , in fact , he had never stopped , never stopped loving you , are you sure that you would just throw away everything that you have ? will : i do n't know . i hope i never have to find out . sami : me too . will : [ sighs ] but if i were to let myself go there ... then , yeah , i get why you could n't just throw it all away . sami : thank you . will : nobody knows what happens in a marriage except for the two people in it . [ baby cries ] sami : huh . is she up from her nap ? can i see her ? will : i 'll -- i 'll check . i put her down just before you got here , so ... sami : oh , no , she needs her rest for the party . will : wait for me . do n't go . i still really want to talk to you about something . sami : okay . yeah , i have a little bit of time before my meeting . [ sniffles ] oh , yeah , i could just -- will : she dropped her pacifier , and as soon as i gave it back to her , she went straight back to s - sleep . sami : chad dimera ? how did he spend his time away from salem , how -- how much contact has he had with the rest of his family ? is this the something that you wanted to talk to me about ? chad : do n't you think you 're being a little melodramatic ? the old man would never kill one of his own kids . we 're his life . ej : he may feel that way about you . in fact , i know he does . but do not delude yourself . do n't forget what he is capable of ... especially when he feels he 's been betrayed by a member of his family , particularly by his son . he left tony ... in prison on an island . he left peter to rot in jail . chad : [ chuckles ] so he 's not just a killer -- he 's , what , sexist ? ej : no . he took his time getting kristen out of the white slave racket she was involved in . he abducted alexandra . the carcinogens that she inhaled when she was trapped in that tunnel ... they are what ultimately killed her . chad : yeah , i remember . ej : yeah ? you may also remember what he said after that . he said he was a changed man . he said the same thing after you were shot . chad : yeah . ej : yeah . he is the same vengeful monster that he was born to be . and you have unleashed that monster on me and my family . you may hate me . but samantha ... your niece ... chad , your nephew ... would you have them be destroyed too ? could you live with that ? paige : [ sighs ] he 's fast asleep . he really did need a nap . so how are you doing with let the great world spin ? jj : well , uh , you know , i ... i find it , uh , luminous and impressive , you know , just a novel filled with achingly fine writing . paige : [ laughs ] wow . you 're really into it . jj : well , yeah , i mean , how can i not be ? you know , it 's all so -- it 's marvelous and -- and stunning and , you know , just ... symphonic . paige : you know ... i can say the same thing about you . jj : oh , yeah ? paige : mm - hmm . well ... you are definitely ... mesmerizing . both : mm . jj : you know , i do n't think it would be a good thing if daniel came in and saw us like this , not after we told him what reliable babysitters we are . paige : we 're being reliable babysitters . have n't you ever heard of multitasking ? jj : uh , yeah , yeah , um , we ca n't do this . will : what were you doing -- snooping ? sami : i was n't snooping . it was sitting on your table for anybody to see . it looks like you 're writing an article about chad , and that had better not be what you are doing . will : i 'm sorry . i was hired by sonix , and my first assignment is to write a profile of chad dimera . sami : will , you do n't understand . you ca n't do this . will : here we go again . sami : no , chad hates ej now . will : well , are you surprised ? he was in love with abigail . sami : right , but -- but that means that chad is gon na trash ej , and we ca n't have that . i mean , the consequences of him actually revealing -- will : mom , the article -- it 's gon na happen . sami : what about your cousin ? right ? y - you love her . you do n't want to see her get hurt , and chad 's probably gon na say terrible things about her . will : you do n't care . and besides , you should n't worry . she 's not gon na be mentioned in the piece . sami : no , of course not , but me and ej -- we are fair game here . will : oh , my god , i - i doubt that he is going to mention you . but he is a dimera . ej is his brother , so i have to ask . sami : no , of course , chad will be happy to fill you in on every little detail . will : well , you seemed to have thought that he deserved to know about ej and abigail and be upset about that . you -- you were the one who made sure he knew . oh , but i 'm sorry -- that was before you decided that we 're all human . we all make mistakes . sami : okay , if you write an article that slanders -- will : do not threaten me , mom . i am writing that article . and so , before either one of us says something that we 're gon na regret ... i think you should leave . sami : finally , something we agree on .

[ scene_break ] sami : why would i be angry at you ? ej : samantha , i 've caused you a tremendous amount of unhappiness . sami : what are you talking about , ej ? ej : to start off with , you know , the way i treated you when i found out that you kept sydney from me . sami : but that was ages ago . why are we talking about that now ? ej : being in here , it 's given me an opportunity to think about a lot of things . to remember . and in many ways , to reflect . confronting you at the church , at the funeral of the girl who we thought was our daughter was ... and to threaten to take johnny away from you ... it was unspeakably cruel . and i 'm so sorry . you do n't have anything to say ? sami : well , given that it 's coming from you , and the life i 've lead , guess i 'm just not used to it , you know ? i 'm not normally on this side of an apology . ej : i just want you to know something . nothing that you could ever do to me , certainly nothing that you could ever say to me , will make me stop loving you . so ... kinda the same , you and i . we shoot from the hip , and we ask questions later . sometimes . sometimes not at all . but sometimes later . i just need you to know that i get it , you know ? i know why you kept sydney from me , it 's because of the life that i was leading . and the things you did to me , they were just reactions to the things that i did to you . i just want you to know that i understand . that i forgive you for anything you may have done to me . and i 'm terribly , terribly sorry . that 's why i asked you to come here today . just ... just so i could say that to you . sami : oh , god , i wish you 'd said this sooner . i wish -- ej : tell me . tell me what you wish . finish your thought . come on , samantha , tell me . it might make you feel better . sami : i wish i 'd brought the kids . they miss you and they need to spend time with you . i wish i 'd brought them to see you . and you know what ? i will definitely -- i 'll bring them next time . but you know what , will has them right now . ej : mm - hmm . sami : mwah . and he is being such a good big brother , so i have to go relieve him . but i will see you soon . i will be back . ej : okay , love you ! sami : [ giggles ] ej : enjoy them while you can . [ scene_break ] will : what 's tough on my mom is letting ej think that they are married ... when she hates his guts . arianna : right . because if there was this big shock , ej could die , and she does n't want that . right ? will : no . no . it 's just when she walked out of stefano 's house that night , she thought that she would never have to deal with ej again . and now , unfortunately , she does . arianna : well , thank god she walked out of that house , right ? thank god none of you guys were there the night ej was shot . [ scene_break ] daniel : now we do not have to keep talking about this , carly . carly : i just do n't want you to ever think that i take your forgiveness for granted . daniel : i know you do n't . and the person i 'll never forgive is your crazy ex- husband . carly : that makes two of us . if he were n't such a sadistic lunatic , and ... daniel : i know . i do . carly : i 'm just still so sorry . daniel : do n't . do n't , do n't be . as soon as you got him out of the way -- carly : euphemistically speaking . daniel : you came straight here . carly : yeah , with vivian on my tail .

like , omg , you learn something new every day . will : you took a bullet for him . that 's what he meant to you . chad : `` meant , `` past tense . so ask me if i 'd do it again . mm - mm . and if there 's another bullet out there for ej , i seriously doubt that there is anyone alive that would step in the way . ej : now i certainly do n't expect to win you overnight , but i am telling you the truth . it does matter to me what you think . eric : could you just give it up ? what 's done is done and all that matters now is you have to find a way to live with it . ej : look , i would not presume to tell you how to feel , but you are here . you are in my house . eric : because my grandmother was coming here whether i drove her or not . and , yes , i will be coming back here to see my sister ... and my nephew and my nieces . so let me make this very clear to you . the only thing that matters to me is how you treat my sister . nothing else counts . ej : right . sami : i know that , grandma . okay ? i know . i was here too and i just -- i know that the only reason he could upset me like that is because i love him so much . and after i found out what happened , that love , it was covered by my anger , you know . i was angry . i was -- i was very seriously angry . and then i just -- i had to move on , you know . i realized i needed to let it go , and when i did , i saw that my love for him was still there . it was still underneath everything . and i finally was able to hear ej , and how he kept telling me that he had never stopped loving me . and that he truly , deeply regretted being unfaithful to me , and that if he could take it back , he would . caroline : you -- you ca n't take it back ! i know that better than anybody ! sami : grandma , grandpa forgave you . caroline : i -- i had a talk with victor . and -- sami : about me ? caroline : no , no , but , yes , in a way , it was . he told me ... that i should try not to be so judgmental ... about what makes other people happy . so ... if ej does love you , you know he 's gon na spend the rest of his life making up for it . i pray for you , honey . i pray for both of you . sami : grandma . caroline : now , sweetie . sweetie . brady : i 'm gon na see what 's keeping marlena . john : all right . it 's all right . i asked her to come . marlena : theresa ? john wants to see you . theresa : i do n't understand . why ? brady : i 'm sure he 'll tell you when you get there . let 's go . theresa : no . daniel : it 's fancy seeing you here . john : i think she should be here . it 's thanks to her that i 'm awake , talking , and ... remembering . daniel : really ? john : yeah , i had a moment a little while ago . i just want to make sure that i 'm not taking one step forward , two steps back , you know ? daniel : oh , yeah , yeah , that 's , uh , that 's a good idea . john : because when i say what i have to say , i do n't want there to be any questions about my reliability . daniel : most certainly . theresa : you must see , brady , that i do n't really belong in there . i mean , it 's just a family thing , right ? marlena : john specifically asked to speak to you . he would like to talk about that night . are you really going to make him wait ? theresa : no , no , of course not . brady , you know , he just woke up from a coma so we ca n't really take anything that he says that seriously . brady : i have to . we have to . i mean , this is what we 've been waiting to hear for a long time now . theresa : you . kristen : i 'm so glad brady found you . hi , i 'm henry winkler miguel : is this for mr. dimera ? clyde : the man can see for himself how well we 're doing . that 's the arrangement , right ? miguel : the arrangement only covered the territory he approved . clyde : well , that 's true . that 's very true , but it 's hard to imagine that the man has so much money , he do n't care about leaving that on the table . especially when there 's so much more to be made . more for everyone . right ? jeremiah : what do you think he 's gon na do ? clyde : we 'll just have to wait and see , wo n't we ?

caroline : i think it 's a little more cheery than that . you know ? ej : you know ... sami : tell him , grandma . ej : i think you 're right . i think you 're right . caroline , there is just one thing that i really wanted to say to you . caroline : you know , ej , i think it 's best that we just , you know , stay nice and general and talk about the grandkids and weather , gasoline prices . thank you , thank you . sami : thank you for bringing her by . eric : yeah , no problem . we 'll see you later , okay ? sami : grandma , i love you so much . caroline : i love you , darling . you know that , you know it . okay , here we go . eric : okay , here we go . ej : so ... how did that go ? sami : better than i could have hoped for . she wants me to be happy . ej : good . so does your brother . it 's really wonderful that we have the support of your family . unlike chad , who i could -- sami : hey , hey . um , that reminds me . i did n't want to text you this , but will is writing a new article for sonix magazine . ej : sonix , my goodness . that 's a wonderful magazine . sami : yeah ... he 's writing it about chad . chad : you could use that as a quote for your article . `` i 'll never take another bullet for that sob again . `` will : uh , maybe , maybe not . chad : does it need to be more pointed ? will : chad , print is forever . if someone were interested , if they were to dig this up and see what you had to say about ej , all of this unfiltered anger , think about it . who 's gon na look worse ? chad : oh , me ? really ? will : he 's your brother . chad : man , your mom really has gotten to you , has n't she ? look , i 'm gon na have my say about the guy , and as you pointed out , the article is gon na happen with or without you . and if it happens without you , you ca n't protect anyone . anyone . so i want you to think about that , william ... and get back to me . sami : so , i mean , obviously will was very upset to find out that you and i were getting back together , but i talked to him . i mean , i did . i actually thought we were getting somewhere too , and then ... i saw the notes about his article about chad and i flipped out . i mean , obviously he has no idea that chad is gon na use that article like to get you and -- and -- and probably me too . and that was even before i knew that chad had gone to stefano . and now he has a forum to go public ? oh , my god . ej : samantha , just , please , calm -- sami : what 's he capable -- ej : darling , calm down . sami : i ca n't just calm down . this is chad we 're talking about and my son and he has no frame of reference of what he 's done . you would think after the first magazine article and ... how that went , that he would have learned his lesson , but no . do you know he told me to butt out of his life and out of his career and he told me to get lost ? ej : well , i know that must be a very strange concept for you , but you are somebody who is always open to the opinions of others . sami : this is n't a joke ! stop it ! you -- he kicked me out of his apartment . ej : tell you what . would you wait here for a moment ? there 's something i have to do . sami : what ? no . ej , you ca n't -- where are you going ? ej : it 's a surprise . sami : what ? ej : but i 'll be right back . sami : no , you ca n't . ej : ah ! zip ! theresa : you did n't tell me that she was going to be here . kristen : is that a problem ? theresa : i would think it 's a problem for every person in this room . you know she has an agenda . she always does . john : i asked for her to be here . honestly , it 'll be all right . this wo n't take long . doctor ... so did i pass muster ? daniel : you 're doing very well , just do n't push it . john : i 'll make this fast . but it 's important . very important . brady : dad ? john : i 'm sorry i 'm doing this to everyone here , but i -- i 'm not quite ready yet . marlena : are you all right ? you said he was -- john : no , no , no , doc , doc , i 'm fine . i just think we need someone from the police department here . theresa : the police ? john : before this goes any further . kristen : well , let me make that call for you . sami : you know what ? never mind . i 'm the one who 's supposed to be able to walk away in a huff . what the hell ? you have some nerve showing your face here again . will : well , i figured you 'd show up eventually . i take it you talked to mom ? ej : may i come in ? will : yeah , just keep your voice down . ari 's sleeping . ej : i do n't have any reason to raise my voice . i see you 're getting ready for the party . will : wan na help blow up balloons ? ej : no . i came here to talk to you in private before the children arrive , although i would like to take the opportunity to thank you for doing this for them . will : look , ej ... whatever is going on between us , sonny and i want you and mom to be here too . just come knowing that i get to pick what i write about . and this article with chad , it 's no different . if my own mother ca n't come here and tell me what to do , i 'm not sure why you think i 'm gon na let you bark orders at me . ej : write the article . will : what ? ej : you heard me . do it . marlena : you can put the phone away . roman is on the fifth floor interviewing witnesses . shall i get him for you ? john : oh , that would be great . daniel : well , i 'd like to ask you about your memory . it was pretty spotty the last time we talked . but now , it 's all there . john : just came rushing back . obviously , that was after you and i spoke , theresa . i was surprised to realize just how much you were holding back . kristen : is that true , theresa ? john : bet you remember everything now , do n't you ? theresa : i 'm not sure i know what you mean . john : well , we talked about that night -- the night that i was hurt -- but you left out the whole week leading up to it . all the fights we had about brady , how i tried to get you to leave town . theresa : well , you were still recovering . i did n't want to upset you and the doctor said that we should let you remember on your own . john : and that 's exactly what i did . i remembered ... on my own . i also remember something else you said . that since that night , you and brady have become close . that you 've been helping him deal with all of this . theresa : i - i tried to -- brady : dad , dad , what do you mean ? john : what i 'm about to say has to do with the three of us . you , me , and theresa . eric : listen , it was my pleasure , grandma . caroline : whoa , whoa , not so fast , not so fast . eric : what 's wrong ? caroline : you tell me . sami was center stage today , but i want to know what 's going on with you , and please ... do n't hold back . chad : so let me guess . you saw ej and he whined all over the place about what i told stefano ? sami : stop acting like this is a casual conversation . because of you , your father thinks that ej betrayed him and set him up . chad : well , because of me , father does n't think that . he knows that . sami : okay , stop enjoying this . you have no idea what your father is capable of . chad : look , i 've been through all of this with ej , and honestly , that was a lot more fun than this . sami : okay , this is n't a joke . this is your brother we 're talking about , my husband . chad : right , the guy who stabbed us both in the back . i meant what i said , sami . i do n't dislike you . i just wish you 'd wake up and -- sami : what ? and what ? be bitter like you , just going around trying to get revenge ? chad : oh , you mean like you were until you decided that jumping in the sack was more appealing ? sami : oh , you -- chad : sami , stop trying to put all of this on me . we both know that everything happening to ej is your fault . will : you want me to write the article ? what 's the catch ? ej : there is no catch . i do n't wish anything else coming between you and your mother . i think things have been hard enough between the two of you as it is . and , william , you 're a parent now , so i can imagine you would have some idea of how painful this is for her . you go ahead and write your article . i 'll say that you and i spoke and i gave you my blessing . will : so you 'll just take this hit no matter what chad says about you , and you 're okay with that ? ej : i may not like what you wrote about me last time , but i certainly ca n't pretend it was n't well written . you talk to chad , you get his take . i 'll take my lumps all in one go . i do n't think this situation can get any worse for me than it already is . do you ? will : i did n't see this coming . ej : there is ... one proviso . will : i knew it . what 's the catch ? ej : i would be grateful if you would avoid dragging abigail 's name through the mud for a second time . will : do n't worry . i already made it clear to chad that abigail is off limits . ej : good . and your mother ? will : abigail 's not the only person i miss having in my life . i miss my mother too . ej : well , let me see if i can help you with that . i 'm ... grateful that we can have this conversation man to man . look , i know you have mixed feelings about my getting back together with your mother , but i promise you i will prove myself to her and to you and to anybody else who counts . and i will not hurt her ever again . brady : dad , what do you mean ? roman : hey , hey . john : hey , roman , thanks for coming . roman : are you kidding me ? whew ! good to see you ... alive and kicking . john : so , roman , i know there was a lengthy investigation the night i was hit with that fireplace poker . roman : yeah , we got all the information we could . john : but you were n't able to find out what i knew . roman : no , you 're right about that . john : but you have what brady said and theresa . roman : absolutely . it 's all on this . john : you think you can bring it up for us right now ? it 's important . roman : sure . wo n't take a minute . kristen : do n't you just love technology ? eric : grandma , listen , i hate to break it to you , but there 's really nothing exciting to tell . i 'm just focusing on my photography and being there for the family , that 's it . caroline : so nicole is just in the rearview mirror and so is the church ? eric : grandma , please . caroline : now , now , now . all work and no play ... eric : we really gon na have this conversation ? there 's no one and it 's just -- it 's far too soon . caroline : well , please do n't say never , you know ? i just -- i want you to be happy . eric : i think that 's a long way down the road before i can trust someone again . i trusted nicole and look how that turned out . caroline : well , surprise . nicole turned out to be , you know , nicole . but that does n't mean that the right person is n't out there somewhere , waiting . sami : so you tattle to your daddy and you 're saying it 's my fault ? chad : oh , it 's completely your fault . see , you tipped the first domino , sami . you put it all in motion . you went after ej , which in my book was completely justified . but you went after him with such ferocity that you literally put the man in a corner . see , he had to go big to get you back . he had to pull out all of the stops . so what did he do ? he betrayed his own father . all for your sake , which i bet makes your heart go all a - flutter . but if father 's angry now , if he 's licking his chops to get back at ej , then it is all on you . do n't shoot the messenger , sami . just take a good , hard look in the mirror . sami : i 'm not gon na tell ej we had this conversation . chad : i can see why . sami : no , no , you have no idea why because you are messing with a very dangerous man . brother or no , you threaten ej 's kids or his wife and he will kill you . in your family , that 's not hyperbole . chad : please , i did n't threaten you or your kids . sami : you may not have intended it , but you have put us at risk . you 're arrogant . i like that . but , chad , you are so out of your league . chad : man , this house -- i 'm gon na get some air . sami : you do that . [ cell phone rings ] ej : what is it ? miguel : i thought you should know , sir , clyde weston has begun selling his product all over town . outside of the area you specified . ej : damn it . are you sure ? miguel : very sure . give me an order , mr. dimera . i 'll do anything you ask . roman : mr. black testified that he had no memory of the fight with his father . the last thing he remembered was being with ms. donovan on the way back from las vegas . john : and theresa 's statement ? roman : when asked about the events of that evening , ms. donovan responded , `` i 'm not sure . it all happened so fast . john came over to talk to brady and me . i thought i should leave them alone , but then i heard john attacking brady . and brady , oh , my god , he -- brady , he grabbed the poker . he was just trying to defend himself and he hit john across the head . `` marlena : john ? is that the way you remember it ? | john told brady , marlena , and kristen that he remembered everything . chad wondered if will changed his mind about writing the article . will reminded chad about the way his family reacted when he wrote the other story . ej thanked eric for what he did for his sister . marlena wanted to get a doctor for john . he thought that was a good idea , but he wanted someone else there too . caroline wanted to hear sami 's explanation for taking ej back . sami assured caroline that she and ej would work things out this time . caroline reminded sami how she just told her that she would n't take ej back . theresa let daniel know that john did n't remember anything . daniel was n't so sure . marlena interrupted them to let them know that john wanted them . will suspected that chad wanted to use him to get to ej . eric did n't want to talk to ej about what he did for kristen or anything else . eric would see sami and the kids , but did n't see a reason to talk to ej . sami explained to caroline why she got back together with ej . caroline eventually understood sami 's situation and they hugged . theresa did n't want to go in john 's room at first . brady and marlena had to practically drag her off to the room . |
marlena : think . try to think . you saw the bushes . you saw the gun . who pulled the trigger ? [ door slides open ] john : you do n't know how good it is to see that smile of yours . marlena : mm . john : mm , and i 'd swear your lips have never tasted sweeter . marlena : oh . you are such a romantic . john : a romantic who will never take another moment of our life together for granted . marlena : i plan to live a long time . john : i 'm holding you to that . [ both chuckle ] marlena : did you learn anything down at the station ? john : it 's all good . that bullet fragment that kay and val took out of you did not match the gun that sami was holding . marlena : oh , my word . john : yeah . marlena : then that means that ... sami : that i did n't shoot you . marlena : oh . john : [ laughs ] marlena : oh ! oh , honey , honey , honey . john : [ chuckles ] marlena : aw .

[ chuckles ] no seriously , how you doing ? eli : i 'm hanging in there . sheila : well , i think i have just the thing to make you feel better . eli : please tell me that 's what i think it is . sheila : mm - hmm . eli : baltimore crab - puppies just like mr . hooper used to make back home ? sheila : mm - hmm . eli : did you ... sheila : make them ? hell no . i get them from this guy who sells them at a kiosk on the docks . well , have one . eli : yeah . abe : i want to know who 's responsible , damn it ! eli : excuse me . abe : there is a reason for the sign . there are rules . and if we do n't have rules , what do we have ? chaos . eli : abe . what 's going on ? what 's wrong ? abe : somebody parked in my spot . a beat - up ' 91 chevette . license plate `` t - l - c-4-e - v - a. `` sheila : that would be `` tlc for - evah , `` and , uh , yeah , that would be me . bonnie : baby , sweetheart . i 'm sorry , but you heard him . i did n't have a choice . mimi : no choice ? damn it , mom ! what is wrong with you ? how could you let lucas walk out of here with my baby ? bonnie : how could i stop him ? mimi : take my child out of his arms ! come up with one of the lies that 's always at the tip of your tongue . bonnie : i resent that . and you heard him . he was n't taking no for an answer . mimi : this was n't a part of the plan , mother . you have some serious explaining to do . [ both laugh ] lucas : she 's perfect . i mean , she 's perfect , is n't she ? chloe : she is . [ baby babbles ] lucas : it 's crazy . you think she has my smile ? look at that . look . yeah ? chloe : maybe . yeah . lucas : yeah . i can not believe it . i can not believe i have another daughter . it 's amazing . it 's unbelievable . right ? [ baby talk ] it 's unbelievable . eric : it 's so good to see you . nicole : my god , eric . how did you find me ? eric : maggie gave me your address . nicole : she had no right to do that . and you should n't be here . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] sami : [ laughing ] actually , i think it 's the twerking that did it . but then she went to take a bite of my burger with grilled onions . marlena : oh , grilled onions . sami : exactly . that is how i knew for sure . though , of course , she still tried to deny it . marlena : wait , were you trying to confront her ? sami : yes , i did confront her with a pair of sharp scissors . it was very convincing . john : i am so sorry that i could n't tell you or anybody else what was going on , but it was the only way to give your mother the time she needed to come back to us . sami : i mean , john , i totally understand and i am so grateful 'cause if it were n't for you , if it were n't for that , mom would n't be here . marlena : but i am . and now everybody knows , beyond a shadow of a doubt , you did not pull that trigger . sami : the charges were dropped . i could n't get here fast enough . marlena : oh ! john : mm - hmm . and now that we know you did n't fire that gun , we got to figure out who did . sami : john , i have an idea about that . [ solemn music ] nicole : eric . you need to go . just leave , please . eric : nicole . nicole , please , not like this . i need to talk to you . nicole : holly 's asleep . eric : i 'll be quiet . nicole : eric , this is n't a good time . eric : then i 'm gon na wait here until there is a good time . nicole : you need to go home , eric . i told you i do n't love you . eric : that 's a lie . and you know it . abe : you 're on your own personal crime spree , are n't you ?

it 's not like you 're handicapped . eli : um , let 's go move your car . abe : too late . i had it towed . lucas : see that ? i mean , i thought i was done with this , i really did . you know , will 's all grown up , and allie , she 's growing up too now . she 's getting there . but this , this is just crazy . it 's got blankets and bottles all over again and bedtime stories , yes ! chloe : yeah , and diapers and teething and no sleep . there 's nothing like it . lucas : you know , despite all the crazy that brought this baby here , i am excited . i really am . i mean , this is a second chance for me , you know , to become a real father this time , you know , someone who can get things right and make a difference . maybe bonnie will view this little baby as a second chance too . you know ? she 'll be a better mother and make better decisions maybe . chloe : oh , lucas . i do n't want to be a downer , but i went to high school with mimi lockhart , remember ? lucas : yeah , yeah . chloe : i know what kind of mother bonnie was and you and i both know that she 's a sociopath . now that you two share a child , i 'm sure she ca n't wait to bleed you dry . lucas : well , i am not gon na let that happen , all right ? there 's no way i 'm gon na let bonnie lockhart exploit me or my daughter . is n't that right ? yeah , daddy 's here . yeah [ chuckles ] mimi : my daughter is with a complete stranger . bonnie : not a complete stranger . mimi : how could you do this ? how could you let that man walk out of here with your grandchild ? great . her little bunny . she ca n't get through the night without this . bonnie : honey , would you please just relax ? mimi : i never should have agreed to this stupid plan . bonnie : do you understand the very tricky line dance required to pull this off ? one false move and i 'm under someone 's boot . mimi : so you just gave lucas my baby to buy your future ? bonnie : [ sighs ] honey . most parents would be happy to have a night off from their rug rat . mimi : she 's a human being , mother . she does n't know lucas and while you might not understand this , kids are sensitive . they know when something 's off . bonnie : sweetheart , lucas is a wonderful man , and he 's smitten already . baby bonnie 's gon na be just fine . mimi : stop calling her that . it 's not her name , and she 's not your baby or lucas ' . she 's mine ! bonnie : just please do n't tell him that . mimi : actually , mother , that 's exactly what i 'm going to do . bonnie : oh , hell no . you 're not going anywhere . sami : look , it 's pretty clear that kristen hates you , right ? and she was determined to do something about it , so maybe she was n't willing to leave it to chance that i would actually pull that trigger . maybe she had someone waiting in the wings , someone on standby ready to pull the trigger if i didn't . john : yeah , that 's a valid point . unfortunately , it 's all conjecture unless we can i d the shooter . sami : ca n't help you there . i mean , i was drugged out of my mind as you both remember . what about you , mom ? can you remember anything ? marlena : i 've been trying so hard to just think of something to focus on . i 've got memories of the bushes and the hand . sami : could n't you try , like , i do n't know , self - hypnosis or something ? marlena : oh , honey . it does n't work like that . i 'm just -- i 've been trying so hard to focus on getting a little clearer picture . john : got it . i 've got exactly how we can find out who shot you . chloe : she really is an angel . lucas : i know . chloe : i hope that you 're gon na have a real chance to be an influence on her as she grows up . lucas : i 'm going to be a big part of this little baby 's life . i 'm gon na make sure she has everything she needs . chloe : hm . yeah , and i 'm sure that that 's exactly what bonnie 's counting on . ca n't you see that this is her shiny , new atm card ? what if she asks you for child support ? or what if she enjoys her new - found freedom and cash so much that she packs up this baby and leaves town ? lucas : i am not gon na let that happen . do n't worry . chloe : and how are you gon na stop her ? it 's clear that she 's using this kid for her own agenda . it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with bonnie . bonnie : look , look ! i know you 're upset , and things are n't going exactly as planned . mimi : because you lied to me . bonnie : i did n't lie . exactly . look , just do n't -- the plan became a little more fluid , all right ? mimi : i want my baby back ! bonnie : and you will have her back as snug as a bug and back in your arms soon ! but please , please , please , lucas can not find out the truth . you have to swear to me ! mimi : you 're negotiating the return of my child . bonnie : no , of course i 'm not , all right ? but you have to understand this was not my first choice . i went to that boring adrienne kiriakis and i asked her to drop the charges , but she got all high and mighty on me and refused , so come on . i had to get a little more creative . mimi : with my child ? bonnie : lucas was my only hope . mimi : by saying the night you too had sex ... bonnie : we made a beautiful baby girl . mimi : except you didn't . bonnie : but my beautiful daughter did . please . honey . i 'm begging you . just give me a little more time . mimi : that 's the one thing you do n't have . john : the city maintains closed circuit tvs all over horton square . all we got ta do is review the footage of the day of our wedding a little bit of luck , we can zero right in on the shooter . sami : oh , my gosh , of course , and once we figure out who that is , it 'll take us right back to kristen . john : yeah , and since she is still a threat to you , doc , finding her and the shooter is our number priority , and i am all over it . i 'm going downtown . i love ya , honey . marlena : i love you . sami : hey , uh , thank you for saving my mom 's life . again . john : saves mine every day . sami : it 's pretty ridiculous how in love with you he is . marlena : [ chuckles ] yeah . i 'm pretty lucky . of course , that , um , `` till death do us part , `` i do n't know . got a little close for comfort . sami : [ chuckles ] marlena : what 's going on ?

[ sniffles ] and you know that i never , never stopped loving you . my mom 's pain from moderate bonnie : chloe wo n't be a problem . mimi : that 's probably what nicole walker thought , and then chloe tried to get custody of her daughter . bonnie : well , it was n't like it was a random kid . i mean , come on . chloe was the surrogate . mimi : yeah , surrogate who got a little too attached to someone else 's baby . what if that happens with my daughter ? bonnie : will you just relax ? chloe and lucas will ooh and ahh over that baby one measly night . i will barge in there tomorrow and get her back . mimi : and then what ? what if lucas starts making noise about custody ? hm ? visitation ? it 's not like you can just disappear with his baby . he 'll track you down . bonnie : why do n't you have any faith in your mama ? mimi : the mother who snooped in my diary , who embezzled from me . the mother who sold dead trees that she 'd flocked within an inch of their life so no one would notice . except for the cop who did . bonnie : you had to admit it was creative . mimi : till you got caught . and you always get caught . and what about mickey horton ? bonnie : that ... that was love . l - o - v - e . mimi : which led you to revenge . r - e - v - e - n - g - e. and that 's the reason you 're in this mess . your sick need for revenge on maggie . you know , if you had just stayed in prison -- bonnie : i 'd still be in solitary while you were kicking up your heels . ca n't you have a little respect for your mother ? mimi : do n't you dare spell that . bonnie : [ sighs ] listen , mimi . sweetheart . you , of all people , should know we 've only got one life to live . so , why do n't we just spend the remaining days of our lives happily as mother and daughter ? baby bonnie is allowing us to do that . mimi : i 'm getting my daughter and i 'm going home . bonnie : you ruin this for me and i will go to the authorities and tell them who really killed your father . with a fire poker in the living room . abe : so is this about the marriage license ? i gave the envelope to the clerk to file , so by this time , you two should be man and wife for life . john : that 's great . but i need another favor . abe : well , you know sami 's been cleared of the charges . john : mm - hmm . and that means there 's a shooter out there somewhere , and i got a lead . right before doc was shot she remembered some movement in the bushes . she saw someone holding a gun . abe : any chance she saw a face ? john : i 'm afraid not , but i do think there 's a possibility we captured that shooter digitally . now , what i 'm hoping you will do is give me access to city 's cctv network that covers the town square . i can review that footage . there 's a good chance that we can i d the person who shot doc . marlena : [ raspy ] sweetie . i know how hard this is for you . i know how long you 've looked for ej . i know how much you want to see him again . sami : you heard kristen admit that he was alive . at your wedding , you heard her . marlena : i hope it 's true . you might want to consider the idea that kristen told you he was alive so she could have some way to control you . sami : no way . i feel it in my gut . ej is out there . i know you ca n't understand , but he is . i know it . what if it 's like will ? what if he ca n't come back ? i 'm not gon na stop until i find him . i 'm not going to quit ever . marlena : i never thought you would . i was thinking about the wedding . when i saw you holding that gun my life actually did flash before my eyes . sami : oh , mom . marlena : but listen to me . what i saw was you and eric and belle , and i realized all the time that i lost with you because things happened . i made choices that kept me away from you . sami : no . you ca n't dwell on things like that . you are a great mom . marlena : well , i did my best , but the point is , i want you to promise that you will not spend any more time away from your children . because i do n't want to have -- do n't want to have your life flashing before your eyes and have the same regrets that i have . sami : okay , mom . i promise . i promise , no regrets . eric : god , i 've dreamt of this . but i thought you were impossible . i even tried to move on . you -- you were all i wanted . and now that i have you i 'm not gon na let go . nicole : eric ... eric : i know . i know this is asking a lot , just trying to pick up right where we left off and me just showing up on your doorstep when you and holly have already made a life here . but if it 's time you need , i understand . time now we have . we have all the time in the world . nicole : no . no , eric , we don't . you have to leave . now . sheila : you owe eli $ 250 . abe : well , that 'd be on you , ms . watkins . sheila : well , ms . watkins does n't have that type of money , mr . mayor . abe : oh . well , here 's an idea . why do n't you put your best foot forward and get a job ?

eli : hey , some good may come out of this . stefan , his heart may be able to save my grandmother 's life . lani : is that what kayla said ? eli : kayla said that his heart is viable , so he could be an organ donor . the only thing is , is we have to get gabi to agree to it . gabi : well ? rolf : oh , patience , mrs . dimera . i can not offer an informed opinion about your husband 's medical condition unless you allow me to examine him first . gabi : right , of course . all right . it 's just , you know , these -- these doctors are wrong . you know , one of them is kayla johnson . she -- she 's never liked stefan . she blames him for her failed marriage . and look at how wrong she was about kate , you know ? about being at death 's door , and she 's wrong about stefan too . rolf : i 'm afraid she 's not wrong . gabi : what do you mean ? what -- rolf : i 'm sorry , mrs . dimera . there is nothing i can do for your husband . i 'm bad . ben : thank you . ciara : you 're welcome . ben : babe , you do n't have to look so worried . you were right . it was a bad dream . ciara : it 's not about that . while you were sleeping , my mom called , and i have some really bad news . ben : about julie ?

ciara : last night someone was brought into the hospital with a gunshot wound . the doctors did everything that they could to save him , but there was nothing that they could do . he was declared brain dead . ben : that 's terrible , but it 's good news for your grandmother , right ? ciara : possibly . ben : then what happened ? what 's wrong ? ciara : ben , the person who was brought to the hospital , the man who lost his life , it was stefan . rafe : no , i just wanted an update on ciara 's case , hoping we 'd have a suspect by now . jordan : and since you do n't , you thought maybe i did really try to run her down . rafe : no . no , i was n't wondering that at all . you told me you did n't do it . jordan : and it 's the truth . i swear . ugh . although , considering my past with ciara and my past mental health issues , i 'm -- i understand you 'd have your doubt . rafe : no , no , no , you told me , and i believe you . jordan : right . oh , you know what ?

rafe : um , yeah , i , uh , saw her last night , and she 's in a really bad place . lani : it wo n't be easy convincing gabi to give her husband 's heart to your grandmother , a woman that she hates with a passion . eli : well , unfortunately , that 's not even the hardest part . lani : what do you mean ? eli : from what kayla 's told me , gabi is still in denial about stefan 's condition . she refuses to give up hope that somehow he 'll recover . gabi : there 's nothing that you can do for stefan ? what are you talking about ? you barely looked at him . rolf : look , i 've seen all i need to see . gabi : no . no , no , no , there has to be something else . um , what about the formula , the one that brought back will and vivian and all those other people ? rolf : no , it wo n't work in this case . gabi : what are you talking about ? that 's what it 's supposed to do . it 's supposed to bring back people from the dead . rolf : no . look , actually , that is a popular misconception . the formula does n't bring people back from the dead , only from the brink of death . the patient still has a tiny spark of life in them . unfortunately , stefan has no such spark . gabi : you 're lying . shut up . you are lying , okay ? and i do n't understand why you would lie . why would you lie ? rolf : ms. dimera , please . gabi : oh , i get it . no , i get it . you 're loyal to kristen . of course , so if stefan 's out of the way , then she can have dimera to herself ! rolf : no , no , no , that is not true ! gabi : you lying son of a bitch ! that 's what you are . i 'm leah . and that 's me , at humana , we believe your healthcare should evolve with you . and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you . humana can help . with original medicare , you 're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits , but 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 and still not get prescription drug coverage . 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 as low as a $ 0 monthly plan premium in many 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 humana medicare advantage plan could save you money . there is no obligation , so call or go online right now . eli : i 'm -- i 'm hoping gabi will come around , but the problem is , is we do n't have that much time . lani : has anybody tried talking to her ? eli : not yet , and , well , i do n't even know who the best person would be . lani : well , it ca n't be kayla . gabi lost it on her last night . what about rafe ? eli : no . no , i -- i ca n't put him in that position . i mean , to ask him to put me ahead of his sister ? no , no , it 's -- it 's got ta be somebody from my family . lani : well , i would normally say hope , but she and gabi just are n't in a good place right now . eli : and doug 's in no condition himself , so ... that leaves me . as julie 's grandson , i need to be the one to talk to gabi . gabi : you son of a bitch , i hope you sleep at night . i really hope -- rafe : whoa , wait , what -- what the hell is going on ? rolf : what 's going on is your sister has completely lost her mind . she refuses to listen to reason . gabi : he 's lying . that 's what he 's doing , so he and kristen can have dimera . well , you know what ? i 'm not gon na accept that , and neither is my husband ! rafe : gabi . gabi : no , no , stefan , he 's gon na come out of this , and when he does , he 's gon na make you pay for not helping him . rolf : look , i 've already told you : stefan can not recover . it 's a medical impossibility , and if you do n't understand what i 'm saying , then you 're as brain dead as your husband ! gabi : are you kidding me , you -- rafe : all right , all right . you know what ? if you value your life , you will leave right now . rolf : gladly . gabi : you get out of here . get the heck -- i never want to see you again , huh ? crazy man . do n't you tell me that . do n't you look at me like that . rafe : gabi , what are you doing ? you can not go around threatening people like that . gabi : okay , so what am i supposed to do ? take no for an answer ? say , `` okay , thank you so much for trying ? `` no , okay ? this is a matter of life and death , rafe . i 'm not gon na give up . that creep ?

it 's not gon na make a difference . you have to accept that stefan is gone . gabi : no . rafe : gabi . ciara : stefan is hooked up to a machine that keeps him breathing , but if he wasn't ... there 's no brain activity , ben . he 's gone . ben : i ca n't believe this . oh , my god . ciara : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i know you considered him a friend . ben : he was n't just a friend . ciara , besides you , he was the only friend i had . the guy gave me a home and a job when nobody would give me the time of day . doing security for him and everything like that just gave me purpose . it helped me turn my whole life around . i just wish i was able to tell him that . now i never will . jordan : all right , david . this looks like the perfect spot to wait for your sitter , although i guess we better be careful because this is where ciara brady almost got hit . of course , your uncle ben accused me of driving . hmm . can i tell you a secret ? kristen : oh , i do love a good secret . victor : if you 're expecting an apology , i would n't hold my breath . last time i looked , this is still my house . sonny : do n't worry . we 're -- we 're well aware of your feelings , uncle vic , okay ? but apparently brady has some news that he would like to share with us . victor : do n't tell me you botched the sinclair deal . brady : no , the sinclair deal will be closing today . victor : well , then , what 's the news ? come on . the coffee 's getting cold . brady : kristen dimera is pregnant with my child . victor : [ laughs ] that 's a good one . you almost had me . brady : [ laughs ] yeah , it 's not a joke . victor : you idiot . victor : what the hell is wrong with you ? you swore to me you would stay away from kristen . brady : i -- i -- i did stay away from her . i -- i have n't laid a finger on her since she was released from prison . victor : oh , so what are you telling me ? this was an immaculate conception ? brady : this would n't have happened if i would have known it was kristen . the child was conceived when i thought she was nicole . victor : oh , i ca n't believe this . why is it so damn difficult for you to keep your pants zipped ? brady : granddad , i 'm not thrilled about this , okay ? but the fact is , yes , yes , she is probably pregnant with my kid . victor : probably ? you 're not even sure it 's yours ? brady : i 'm not 100 % sure . she agreed to a paternity test , and i 'm going to take her up on that . victor : that 's the first smart thing you 've said today . brady : i would n't hold out much hope , though , because i think she 's telling the truth . victor : well , then there 's only one solution . you have to force her to terminate the pregnancy . [ baby crying ] kristen : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to intrude . it 's just i , uh -- i needed to clear my head , so i went for a walk , and then i mean , suddenly i just -- i felt a little lonely . jordan : well , yeah , i know the feeling . you 're kristen dimera , right ? kristen : yeah , i hope you do n't hold that against me . jordan : jordan ridgeway -- only if you do n't hold it against me . kristen : [ laughs ] i ca n't recall we ever met , but , uh , i definitely know who you are , although no one told me that you had such a beautiful little baby . jordan : oh , yeah , this is david . kristen : hi . oh , my gosh . so beautiful . jordan : he is . kristen : hi , david . you know , i just found out that i am about to have a child of my own . jordan : oh , my god ! that 's amazing . kristen : yeah . jordan : congratulations . kristen : thank you , thank you . jordan : wow . this must be such a happy time for you . kristen : oh , it is . it really is , except that i just got some terrible news about my brother . jordan : stefan 's shooting . i -- i heard about that . i 'm so sorry . kristen : yeah , me too . me too . jordan : were you and your brother very close ? kristen : um , i mean , we had a complicated relationship . jordan : oh , yeah , well , i know all about that . my brother and i were extremely close , and now every time something bad happens , he blames it on me . i mean , get this . he actually is accusing me of trying to run over his girlfriend . kristen : well , did you ? ben : as bad as i feel about stefan , at least his death wo n't be in vain . i mean , if his heart goes to your grandmother -- ciara : and that 's a big `` if . `` his next of kin needs to make that decision , and in this case that is gabi . ben : who hates julie . ciara : yeah . yeah , and on top of that , my mom called me and told me that she is in denial . gabi refuses to believe that stefan 's dead . ben : oh , god . ciara : yeah . ben : poor gabi . ciara : yeah , i know . i feel so bad for her . i mean , to have the person that you love ripped away from you so suddenly , i -- god , i ca n't even imagine . ben : i can . for a moment last night i thought i lost you . in that moment , i felt like my life was over . lani : you 're going to ask gabi to donate stefan 's heart ? do you really think that 's the best idea ? eli : julie is my grandmother . from the moment i came to town , she welcomed me with open arms . she went out of her way to make me feel a part of this family . and , yes , she can be a little extra , but ... lani : [ chuckles ] eli : i think she 's just making up for lost time . lani : oh , i think that 's one way of -- of putting it . eli : i love her for it . i do . i mean , she 's always fought for me , so now it 's time for me to fight for her . rafe : gabi . gabi : no . rafe : gabi , please . gabi : let me go . rafe : listen to me . just -- gabi : if you 're not gon na support us , then you can just leave , because stefan does not need this negativity . rafe : please . please , just -- you need to let him go . gabi : i should 've known . you know , i -- you hated -- hated him . you hated that we got married . rafe : come on . no , he was n't my first choice , okay ? i admit that , but i supported you . i wanted you to be happy . i accepted it , okay ? gabi : i am happy . do n't you get it ? do n't you understand that after years of pain and heartbreak , i 'm finally happy ? i love him ! i love him more than i 've loved anybody my whole life ! rafe : i know . gabi : okay , well , then how can you ask me to let go of him ? how can you ask me to let go of the man that loves me ? no , you do n't understand . this is a lot , okay ? you can not ask me to do this . this is too much . it 's too much . oh ! oh ! oh ! ciara : ben , i love that you are so worried about me , okay ? but we do n't know for sure that it was jordan who tried to run me over . we don't . for all we know , it could have been some random drunk driver , someone who did n't know me at all . wrong place , wrong time , you know ? ben : maybe . ciara : i 'm -- i should probably get to the hospital . i wan na check up on my grandma . ben : i can drive you . ciara : no . ben , you do n't -- you do n't have to do that . ben : i 'd feel a lot better if i did . ciara : ben , you ca n't protect me every minute of every day , and i do n't want you to . i 'll be careful , okay ? i promise . i 'll be fine . ben : okay . ciara : okay ? bye . kristen : okay , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to be forward . i -- i believe in getting straight to the point , and since neither of us have a wealth of girlfriends to confess our secrets to , you know , if you wan na get anything off your chest , then feel free . no judgment , i promise . rolf : ah . kristen , i 'm glad i ran into you . we need to talk . kristen : right , rolf , i 'm in the middle of something now . rolf : um , it 's about the baby . kristen : oh , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . jordan : no , it 's okay . it was really great talking to you . kristen : oh , you too . it was a pleasure . um , maybe we can do this again sometime . i mean , i sense we have a lot in common . brady : i 'm not gon na ask kristen to abort our child . victor : why the hell not ? sonny : come on , uncle vic . we know how much family means to you . you ca n't really want kristen to get rid of her baby . victor : and i do n't want brady tethered to her for the rest of his life , and do n't tell me she wo n't be . she 's gon na use this to reel you back in . brady : give me some credit , will you ? i told her -- i told her this is n't gon na change anything between us . victor : oh , really ? and did you tell her in your big - boy voice so she knows you 're serious this time ? brady : come on , grand -- you think i 'm thrilled about this ? i 'm not . i know . i understand . i understand you do n't want kristen to be the mother of my baby . i do n't either . the fact is , i 'm -- i mean , what am i supposed to do here ? i have another life to think about . no matter how i feel about the mother of this child , i 'm not gon na turn my back on -- on my kid . rafe : gabi . hey , gabi . i know how hard it is for you to let him go , but ... look , holding on to false hope like this , it 's not -- gabi : it 's not false anything . he 's right here . he 's right here , right here , right now . rafe : gabi . would you look at me , please ? i know how much he means to you . i know how much you love him . i know . it 's breaking my heart . it 's breaking my heart because i love you , but you ca n't do this . you -- you ca n't do it . you got ta let him go . you have to . maybe you think about all the -- the good times you had together , how much happiness you brought him ? no , that 's not helping . gabi : nothing 's gon na help . the only thing that will help is if he comes back to me . rafe : gabi . gabi : but he ca n't , can he ? he ca n't , rafe . rafe : i know . i know . gabi : please , no . rafe : i know . gabi : [ sobbing ] copd makes it hard to breathe . jordan : all right , be good for her , david . thank you , janice . ben . ben : returning to the scene of the crime . jordan : as i told detective price , i did not try to run down your girlfriend , so you can take your false accusations and shove it . ben : i swear to god , if i find out you went after ciara -- jordan : you 'll what ? you know , for a reformed serial killer , you sure do make a lot of threats . ben : stay the hell away from ciara . you hear me ? jordan : the only one that needs to stay away from ciara is you . but , you know , i have a feeling that as long as she 's by your side , bad things are gon na continue to happen to her . maybe next time she wo n't be so lucky . rolf : i , um ... [ clears throat ] assume you 've heard about your brother . kristen : yes , i did . it 's quite tragic . rolf : well , you really mean that ? kristen : of course i mean that . i mean , how can you even ask me that , rolf ? i mean , he might be a complete and utter nuisance to me , but he 's still family . rolf : please , please , just do n't get excited . i can not explain it carefully enough how important it is for you to stay relaxed and stress - free . kristen : right , and if you were n't always swooping in and startling me , i could . rolf : well , i could not agree more , which is why i want to start scheduling regular weekly appointments . it 's the best way i know to monitor your health . kristen : mm , excuse me ? um , when did you decide to be my ob - gyn ? rolf : [ scoffs ] as if your ob - gyn could even qualify for such a case . need i remind you your pregnancy would have been impossible were it not for my fertility treatments ? which is why i -- i feel responsible to look out for him or her , to make sure you deliver a healthy child . brady : is there something wrong with the baby ? lani : you know how proud i am of you for wanting to go to bat for julie . eli : but you do n't know it 'll work . lani : you just told me that gabi ca n't face the fact that stefan is gone , and if she even thinks that there 's a chance that he might recover , i just -- i do n't think that she 's gon na give up his heart . rafe : hi . how 's julie doing ? eli : no change yet . but she 's hanging in there . rafe : all right . eli : have you seen gabi ? rafe : yeah , i was just in with her . lani : how is she doing ? rafe : devastated . she really did love stefan . lani : rafe , i -- i feel awful about what happened . rafe : no , no , no , no , do n't do that . listen to me . listen , you were just doing your job , all right ? lani : yeah . rafe : anyway , you know , she -- she was having a hard time coming to terms with him -- him being gone , but now she -- she seems to have finally accepted it . you know , i know she 's gon na pull herself together for ari 's sake . eli : yeah . rafe : yeah . anyway , i got ta get to work . i 'll see you around . lani : yeah . eli : thanks for coming by , all right ? rafe : of course , man . hey , i 'm gon na be praying for julie , okay ? eli : thanks . rafe : yeah . lani : i know what you 're thinking , but do you really think that now is the right time ? eli : there 's never gon na be a good time . julie needs stefan 's heart , so i got ta talk to gabi , now . gabi : is rafe right ? stefan , do i have to figure out a way to say goodbye to you ? i do n't know how . i do n't know -- how could this be happening ? we were just starting our life together . how can it end like this ? oh , come on . we both know you had all the answers , so how do i do it ? how do i -- how do i let go of you ? [ sobbing ] these are real people , kristen : no , no , there 's nothing wrong with the baby . um ... rolf is being overly cautious , as usual . he suggested that we schedule weekly appointments so that he can monitor the baby . brady : hmm . normally i would n't agree with this quack -- rolf : hey . brady : but i think it 's a good idea . kristen : hmm . yeah , in fact , since i need to have constant supervision , um , best course of action would be to have rolf move in with me . brady : over my dead body , kristen . will : well , that was fun . victor : sonny , get your husband out of here before i throw something at him . sonny : okay , well , why do n't we go to the hospital and check on julie and kate ? will : and gabi . okay . victor : what are you doing here ? ben : you owe me a favor , old man , and i 'm here to collect . lani : well , this is a surprise . rafe : hello again . lani : i was just about to put an order in for eli and his family . you want anything ? rafe : no . i 'm good . lani : you checking out the crime scene again ? rafe : yeah , yeah , i was . i was hoping if i took another sweep of the area , i might get some answers as to who tried to run down ciara . lani : are you worried it 's jordan ? [ elevator door dings ] [ knock at door ] eli : gabi , is it okay if i come in ? gabi : sure . eli : look , i -- i just want to say that i am so sorry for what you 're going through . gabi : that 's kind of you . eli : look , i do n't -- i do n't mean to intrude , but if you have a few minutes to talk ? gabi : okay , yeah . eli : there 's something i need to ask you . it 's very important . | gabi dragged rolf into stefan 's room so he could save stefan . rolf said he gave up general medicine . she knew that stefan was still alive . she wanted him to bring stefan back to her . victor told will , sonny , and brady about the news that stefan was shot . he was happy about it , but they were n't . will and sonny did n't want to listen to victor gloat about stefan being shot . brady asked them to stay so he could tell victor his news . kristen found out about stefan being brain dead . she was sorry her child would n't meet him , but she knew he would watch out for her . lani told eli that internal affairs cleared her for shooting stefan . she felt like she had doubts about shooting stefan . eli tried to make her feel better , but she was n't convinced she did the right thing . eli told her that stefan ' heart could save julie . they just had to get gabi to go along with it . gabi wanted to know if rolf could help stefan . he wanted to examine stefan . she told him that kayla was wrong , but rolf said she was n't wrong . he told her there was nothing he could do for stefan . jordan overheard rafe 's phone call and wondered if he thought she tried to kill her . rafe did n't think she was the one who did it . they ended up talking about gabi . he told her that she was in a bad place . lani reminded eli that it would n't be easy to convince gabi to donate stefan 's heart . eli told her how gabi is in denial about stefan being brain dead . gabi wanted rolf to help stefan , but he said he could n't help because he did n't have a spark of life . gabi thought he was working with kristen and that 's why he would n't help him . rolf told her that was n't true . eli hoped that someone would be able to convince gabi to let stefan be julie 's donor . he thought that he should be the one to talk to gabi . rafe showed up at the hospital while gabi was yelling at rafe . rolf tried to explain the situation to him , but gabi would n't let him talk . gabi wanted rolf to leave so he left the room . rafe tried to convince gabi to accept that stefan was gone . she refused to accept it . jordan took david out for a walk . she realized they were where ciara was almost hit by a car . she wanted to tell him a secret when kristen showed up . victor refused to apologize for the way he felt about stefan being shot . brady told victor , will , and sonny that kristen was pregnant with his child . victor thought he was joking , but he was n't . victor called him an idiot . |

ej : people made fun of the name , johnny ? johnny : no , my other name , dimera . kristen : wow ... that was so emotional , john . what great news . so glad you 're better , huh ? this is really just a time for family though , is n't it ? must be such a relief for you to have that burden lifted off of your shoulders , even though i know that was difficult to hear . i know how worried you were about what you thought happened that night but see , i always knew that those fears were unfounded . it 's great , is n't it ? i mean , finally , all the questions about what happened that night have been answered . must 've been such hell to have that hanging over your head for so long . ej : kids made fun of your name ? which kids ? johnny : older ones . one of them said their dad knew all about us . i did n't know what that meant . but they 're all kind of laughing at me , until the counselor made them stop . ej : johnny ... you have a very special last name . now , it 's a name to be proud of . people , sometimes they say things , you do n't always know why . sometimes they say things just to be mean ... and i ca n't promise you that it wo n't happen again . as you get older , people are going to recognize your name and they are going to react in a certain way . but do n't worry about them because they could just as easily be thinking about your nonno or me . you be your own man . you be a good man and people will respect you for who you are . it does n't matter what your last name is . johnny : of course it 'll matter , daddy . i got my name from you . clyde : hey , i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just , uh , wanted to check in with you , son . make sure everything 's okay . ben : yeah , it 's fine . everything 's fine . clyde : good . well , if you need anything else , you be sure to let me know , all right ? i want you to know , i 'm here for you . and jordan , i 'm glad to see you too . you looked real happy when i came in . i hope things are looking up for you . jordan : `` if you need anything else , `` what was that about ? ben : it was nothing . jordan : no , `` nothing , `` he was way too happy for that to be `` nothing . `` ben : i borrowed a little money from him , okay ? jordan : you borrowed money , why ? abigail : you are trying to take ben 's job away from him so i do n't really care what you have to say -- chad : okay , listen to me . ben has nothing to worry about . he 's not gon na lose his job , all right ? i 'm the one that 's taking a step back at the club . abigail : what ? but -- chad : see what happens when you actually listen ? you find out all sorts of interesting things . abigail : you 're taking a step back , what does that mean ? chad : i -- i talked to sonny and told him that ben and i were n't a good mix . ya know , sonny had said that ben and t have been doing a really great job so i thought about it and i realized that the club had been doing great without me . so , i decided not to go back . abigail : i see . chad : i was really looking forward to it . getting involved again . but it 's sonny 's place now . ya know , so , we reworked the partnership deal . i 'll take a lower percentage , sonny will get a bigger cut . abigail : are you really gon na do this ? chad : you ca n't be gone as long as i have and expect everything to stay the same as when you left , right ? abigail : right ... right . well , uh , i , um ... i should go . chad : um , look , i get it , my stock 's not too high with you right now . abigail : well , maybe it just went up . chad : oh , yeah ? abigail : a little . chad : okay . abigail : yeah , i got ta go . chad : wait , wait . before you go , um , do n't tell ben about this , okay ? abigail : why ? chad : i did n't do it for him . abigail : right . i wo n't say anything to ben . thanks , chad . brady : dad , are you okay ? that seemed to take a lot out of you . john : i 'm tired . it was n't easy but it was necessary . yeah , i think i 'm gon na try to get some rest here but first , can i have a word with my son ? marlena : sure . yeah , get some rest . we 'll talk later . roman : heal up , man . john : thanks . brady : theresa , he wanted a moment alone with me . dad , listen -- john : i know what you 're gon na say but i knew all along that it was n't you . you could n't do that . brady : it 's just the two of us here , okay ? i need you to tell me ... were you lying ? kristen : that was interesting . you said something very wise before about not getting ahead of oneself . daniel : what the hell are you talking about ? john : you 're worried that i 'm taking the blame to protect you . but , brady , you 've got ta trust me . you are not responsible and i swear that that 's the truth . brady : dad , whatever happened that night , i need you to know that it would 've been a much different story if i had had my act together . no , come on , think about it . the drugs , the drinking , the bad decisions . you were trying to help me the whole time . i turned my back on you if i would 've listened to you , it would 've been different . john : stop it , it 's over . from now on , we do n't look backwards anymore . we 're gon na look forward ... both of us . deal ? brady : yeah , it 's a deal . john : deal . marlena : you all right ? theresa : yeah , why would n't i be ? marlena : you seemed a little jumpy in there . before john said what he thought happened . theresa : no , i was just nervous . i was worried about what he might say . i mean , ya know , he just came out of a coma and i 'm not really his favorite person and -- well , i was just worried that he would get confused and misremember what happened . i mean , that could happen , right uncle roman ? roman : i guess so . theresa : yeah , but you know what , i think that we 're all very lucky that john got it all right . i mean , that 's got ta be good news for his continued recovery , right ? brady : dad would like to see you . marlena : all right . thanks , honey . theresa : well , you and kristen looked thick as thieves in there . not to mention all the looks that you were exchanging . what was that all about ? sami : hey , um , johnny , i ca n't ! your sisters , they just will not get ready . will you go hurry them up for me ? johnny : on it . thanks for talking to me , daddy . i love you ! ej : i love you . sami : what 's wrong ? ej : i was thinking about father and this whole mess . sami : it 's different this time , is n't it ? it 's worse . ej : no . sami : you 're really worried . ej : in a way , it 's not . i mean , in a way it 's exactly the same . he 's furious , he 's threatening revenge . but at the end of the day , he 'll come to realize we 're family and the whole thing will settle down . sami : you want that to be true and you want me to think that that 's true but i know you do n't believe it . ej : i do n't know what i would do if he went after you and the children . sami : look , ej , i will talk to him . you know , i 'll try to explain . i will grovel if i have to . ej : no , absolutely not . no , no , no . i opened this door , it will be me who closes it . and i will . please try not to worry . i 'm not going to let anything bad happen to us now that we are finally back together . and ... we have a party to go to . so let 's get happy . sami : [ laughs ] no ! no , please ! stop ! please ! okay , i 'm happy ! ej : happy ? sami : did you really work things out with will ? ej : yeah . i told him to go ahead and write the article . not to worry how i 'd react . sami : i really did not expect you to say that . ej : well , i did n't want to cause any more friction between the two of you and i 'm determined to make us one big , whole , happy family if i have to bring in hired muscle to do it . sami : thank you . thank you . [ phone rings ] ej : sorry . i have to go and do something . can i see you at the party ? sami : okay . okay . oh , you know what i was thinking , actually ? i kind of what to walk in with you . you know , so why do n't you just do what you have to do and then call me and then we can go together . walk in that door together . ej : that sounds like a dream . sami : okay . ej : i would like that . i walk in with you tonight , and i wake up beside you tomorrow morning and every morning thereafter . i am the luckiest man alive . and you look fantastic . sami : [ laughs ] ben : clyde overheard me talking about the whole money thing and he offered to cover me on what i needed . jordan : and you just took it ? ben : i ca n't just take money from my college fund . it 's all tied up . i ca n't just pull it out for regular stuff without having to pay a penalty . jordan : what do you mean , `` regular stuff `` ? groceries ? oh , the economics of falling in love . dinner dates , flowers , motel rooms -- ben : hey ! all right . jordan : sorry . look , hey , ben , i want you to be really , really happy . i want you and abigail to have fun but taking money from your father was a mistake . you ca n't open the door to that man . you know what he did to us . ben : jordan , of course , i remember . but it was in the past . jordan : and we have to keep him there . you know what , let me give you the money to pay him back . it 's better to owe me than him . ben : okay , you already know the answer to that question . so i 'm sorry that your angry but i can handle it myself . jordan : i 'm not saying that you ca n't . it 's just ... ben : jordan , i know . i know . jordan : sorry for butting in . i got ta go . but next time -- ben : yes , next time i will call you . i will . jordan : okay . sami : sonny , thank you so much for offering to pick up the kids , all right ? so i 'll see you outside in a couple of minutes , i 'll have them ready for you . johnny : mommy ! is everything okay ? sami : yeah , everything 's great . johnny : where 's daddy ? sami : oh , he had to go but um , daddy and i are gon na meet you at the party , okay ? johnny : okay . i forgot , i got this for him at camp . it 's for luck . sami : really ? that is the sweet thing ever ! daddy is gon na love that . okay , you hold onto it , we 'll give it to him tomorrow , okay ? johnny : okay . jordan : hi . chad : hi . you seemed a thousand miles away just now . jordan : oh , uh , yeah , i guess i was just a little , uh , distracted thinking about where i was going . anyway , it was good to see you again . chad : oh , your brother got to you , did n't he ? jordan : excuse me . theresa : so what were you two really going on about ? was it me ? hm ? daniel : hey , uh , everything okay ? brady : yeah , yeah , just need a little time to , ya know . daniel : yeah , yeah , if you have a minute i have some thoughts about your dad 's treatment i 'd like to go over with you if ... brady : no , i would . i would like that . roman : all right , i 'll tell you what , i 've got to get going . see you both . brady : thanks , roman . daniel : let 's um , let 's find some place to talk . theresa : okay . so john remembers everything . but he 's willing to lie about it . this has got to be about kristen . i just feel the hate between them . what is daniel up to ? john : you and i , we 've got so much to talk about . marlena : not now . there 's no rush . you rest , we 've got all the time in the world . [ door closes ] daniel : well , uh , let 's talk about your father . [ door slams shut ] abigail : hi ! ben : hi . abigail : hi , uh -- well -- uh , you 're working , obviously , so , um ... ben : no , you do n't have to go or anything . i 'm honestly not that busy . really . abigail : right , oh , yeah . it does n't get crazy here until later , right ? ben : yeah . exactly . later . uh , do you want something to , uh , to drink ? how about , um , damn , how can i not remember what you like to drink . abigail : it 's fine . do n't worry , i ca n't even remember myself right now . i , i do n't like just one thing , ya know ? so , i like lots of different , uh , things so , whatever is good . ben : okay . abigail : okay . ben : one , um , `` whatever `` coming right up . abigail : great . ben : you know what , maybe um , maybe i 'll take it to you outside . abigail : really ? ben : yeah , i mean , it 's a beautiful indian summer out there , right ? go on , i 'll catch up with you . i 'll surprise you . abigail : okay . all right , i 'll see you there . ben : all right . chad : i mean , you just seemed so anxious to get out of here . i mean , it 's been really great getting to know you and , you know , if my issues with your brother bother you at all then ... jordan : no , it 's not you , really , it 's -- i guess i was just a little distracted . do you ever have coffee in your own coffee house ? chad : uh , maybe i 'm just checking out the competition . jordan : or steering clear of my brother ben ? if you ask me , that 's pretty considerate . ej : you set up the meeting ? i can not believe i told that man twice , `` stick to the territory that i assigned you ! `` now , it 's time to lay down the law . kristen : you got me . wow , what a surprise . you were just a little less than truthful , were n't you ? john : and you have such deep regard for the truth . kristen : you know . you know what theresa did to you . i know you do . and still , you 're willing to let her get away with practically killing you because you think that 's gon na keep brady away from me . you know , john , for someone who 's just recently in command , i 've got ta tip my hat . you sized up the situation quickly , you decided how to play your hand but i got ta tell you , john , you made the wrong choice . you decided that theresa is the lesser of two evils but even you have to admit that if she had even slightly better aim , we would n't even be having this conversation right now , would we ? you ... have to live with your choice . and you have to pray that you did n't just put your son 's life in danger . john : good - bye . chad : yeah , i do n't know what 's so sweet about not going to my own club . jordan : well , because you could . you own 1/2 the place . it 's like you do n't want to make waves . chad : you know , you 're probably the only person that i know who thinks that i do n't wan na make waves . ask her . hello , sami . sami : oh , hello . i had no idea you two knew each other . chad : it 's a small town . do you want something ? sami : i 'm looking for ej . he was supposed to meet me here . chad : he went that way , towards the park . sami : did he now , well i 'll got get him . thank you . chad : oh , did he get off the leash again ? sami : you little ... jordan : well , i take back the wave - making thing . that was tense . chad : yeah , sorry . family stuff . i probably should 've just asked her to join us . jordan : no , no , no , no . she kind of ca n't stand me . chad : see , i knew i liked you . something else we have in common . sami : ej ? ej , where the hell are you ? my god , this does n't make any sense . clyde : mr. dimera , your man said you wanted to meet . everything okay ? ej : did you really think that i would n't find out what you were doing ? i told you how this was supposed to work . i gave you explicit orders . clyde : well , maybe your damn orders did n't make any sense . sami : now what ? no signal . damn it . ej : you do n't talk to me like that . you seem to forget who i am and what i represent . clyde : well , you talk a big game but only a fool would be so shortsighted . now , i 'm here to make money . so why do n't you go home to your wife and let me send you your cut . i promise you , you 'll be a happy man . ej : i 'm not going anywhere , mr. weston . not until you understand it 's over . you 're finished . and i 'm not just talking about the territory that i designated you . you 're finished in salem . you 're going to be going home . you 're going back , tonight . clyde : well , golly , ej , i just do n't see that happening . dove invited women to a makeover with a difference . theresa : all right . i do n't know what they 're talking about but who cares ? john made it clear that he remembers everything so it does n't really matter what anyone says . i 've got that . brady : but then , i really keep wondering if my dad is actually ... telling me the truth . i keep wondering if he 's lying about what he remembered just to save me from the guilt , you know ? i just feel like there 's something he 's not saying . daniel : me too . kristen : good - bye . you made the wrong choice , john . but it 's not over . abigail : hi . ben : hi . abigail : god , you 're right , it 's such a beautiful night out . indian summer , it 's warm and it 's -- ben : and it 's a perfect night for `` whatever . `` jordan : `` something else `` we have in common ? so there 's more ? chad : well , ya know , i did have tennis elbow and you are a physical therapist . i mean , what ? that 's kind of freaky , right ? jordan : what are the odds of that ? anyway , it was nice to see you again . chad : well , if you stick around , i could come up with more . ya know , like i think puppies are incredibly cute , how about you ? jordan : uncanny . i 'll see ya . chad : look , look , look , i know you have time . all right ? it 's your day off , right ? jordan : wait a minute , how did you know that ? ej : i do n't think that you fully appreciate who you 're talking to . clyde : well , that 's the thing , ya see . i know exactly who i 'm talking to . sami : come on . [ groans ] the hell with it . clyde : the man i 'm talking to needs some schooling . you see , i thought i was getting involved with a professional . a pretender is more like it . yeah , you got the fancy accent , the mistress on the side and a nice cushy lifestyle handed to you on a platter . by a gangster father who does n't seem to have taught you the first thing about how this all works !

[ chuckles ] will : gave up on growing up ? ben : no , no , i just ... decided it was an ugly tie . no offense . i mean , if you like it so much , you can have it . will : yeah , no , now that i know it 's been in the trash , uh , i 'll pass . but thank you . hope : i just got off the phone with roman . aiden : and he explained how i helped get clyde extradited to florida . i 've been trying to find you so i can tell you myself . hope : i do n't understand . aiden : okay , you 're right . i have been lying to you . i 've been lying to you for a long time about clyde . hope : but why ? you said he was clean . you were absolutely sure . aiden : yes , i had to tell you that to protect you and the kids . hope : what are you talking about ? aiden : he threatened you and chase and ciara . hope : and you did n't tell me ? you -- aiden : no -- hope : do n't you think i had a right to know that ? aiden : look , i could n't tell you , or he would have retaliated . hope : the time you were mugged , that was clyde ? aiden : yeah , it was clyde sending a not - so - subtle message to me to keep my mouth shut . hope : my god . aiden : look , listen to me . if i knew what kind of guy he was , i never would have represented him . but once i did , it was pretty tough to extricate myself from that situation . hope : but you had . aiden : yes , because once clyde was arrested , i saw an opportunity to make those charges stick to get him out of our lives for good . i am sorry that i did n't tell you the truth . but you understand why , do n't you ? lucas : how long you been standing here looking at that thing ? adrienne : a while . i mean , i know i 'm not gon na understand the medical terms , but i asked kayla to send it to me directly . i wanted to be the first to know , you know ? lucas : yeah . yeah , yeah , i understand that . you know , um , i 'm not a professional . i really do n't know what i 'm talking about , but i did do some reading . and even if you do have the gene , that does n't necessarily mean that you have cancer . and even if you do , there 's so many thing that they can do for you about it . adrienne : i know , i know . i know . i mean , they 're options , there 's treatments . lucas : listen , it 's okay . it 's okay to be scared . now i do n't think you should open that envelope until you know that you 're good and ready . adrienne : actually , talking to you , it 's helped . i 'm ready . lucas : yeah ? adrienne : yeah . justin : you 're right . i would have told roman to take you off the case and put you on traffic patrol . rafe : listen , i understand why you want to make an arrest . this is your first big case as d.a . , and you want a win . justin : i do also have a slight interest in getting a killer off the street . rafe : yeah , and if his name 's dimera , yeah , that would be especially meaningful . justin : for a lot of people . rafe : yeah . well , for you and me both . but i 'm not in this for the `` attaboys `` or for the press conferences with the mayor afterwards . i just want the people of this town to feel safe . justin : me , too . rafe : yeah . but the difference is , you think they 're gon na be safe if we get dimera off the streets . what if he 's not our guy ? justin : what are the odds ? rafe : what are the -- i do n't know . but i 'll tell you one thing , marlena 's not convinced he 's the one who attacked her . justin : but why would he run ? rafe : why ? because he 's afraid of being railroaded because he does n't think that he can prove his innocence . now , that 's not the way the system 's supposed to work , though , is it ? chad might very well be guilty , but i just want to put a case on your desk that 's a slam dunk . justin : i hope you can , too . rafe : oh , well , count on it . because in the end , you and i both want the same thing . to get this killer off the streets , whoever it is , before he kills again . will : did abigail find you ? ben : what ? oh , yeah . yeah . will : well , i just thought you guys would come back together . ben : she had to talk to her brother . i wish she 'd just stayed here . i told her to rest . will : well , she 's worried about you . look , ben , um , i 'm really sorry about your dad . you must have been really shocked when you heard . ben : of course i was shocked . but he 's gon na be cleared . it was all just a huge misunderstanding . will : i sure hope so . ben : it was . will : um , you know what , i just meant that , um , i know about your history with clyde . ben : yeah , he 's changed . okay , will ? i mean , when you -- when you wrote that article about him , did you find anybody , besides that lying loser , who had one bad word to say about him ? no . you did n't . i 'm just so sick and tired of everybody talking trash about my family . meanwhile , the cops are wasting all this time going after my dad when the real criminal is chad dimera . will : maybe . ben : you sound just like abigail . how much more proof do you people need ? i mean , does another body have to turn up to finally have everybody convinced ? will : ben . ben : what ? will : are you okay ? too weak . justin : i 'm not gon na contradict a word you said . rafe : since when ? justin : since now . i went to abe and offered my resignation over my screw - up with dimera . rafe : so you 're not even the da anymore ? justin : do n't get your hopes up . he would n't accept it . he knows the people of salem are scared . they need stability . they need to know that the best people are in charge . rafe : like you . justin : and you . look , i admit , when i first started this job , i had , uh , certain goals . some of which were ... selfishly motivated . you want an airtight case ? so do i . rafe : it 's no fun looking like an idiot in court . justin : no , it is not . we got off on the wrong foot . that 's my fault . how about we start over ? gabi : hey , what 's going on ? abigail : hey , hi . gabi : hi . abigail : uh , we 're doing all right . where is that beautiful daughter of yours ? gabi : oh , she 's at the sitter 's . i came to see rafe , but i -- i should have called . abigail : i have n't heard from ben and i thought he 'd be back . i 'm gon na go check on him . yeah . i do n't have to worry about you now , do i ? jj : no . i hope i do n't have to worry about you either . abigail : i 'm pretty freaked out . but we 're gon na be okay . you 'll tell me the whole story later ? jj : yeah . abigail : love you . bye . gabi : what story ? jj : i sort of helped abigail 's future father - in - law get arrested a little while ago . gabi : what ? jj : let 's just say that ben is n't too thrilled with me . ben : you think i should be okay , will ? my dad 's in jail . my fiancé 's brother is the one who railroaded him . yeah , that 's right . jj 's the reason why my dad 's in jail . will : i do n't understand . ben : we all know jj went back to dealing . i bet he just made my dad look guilty to save his own ass . will : how does that help jj ?

tripp : why would claire be the reason ? theo : because you like her and she was my date . tripp : okay ... for one thing , that would be a really lame reason . i mean , i 'm not that immature , okay ? and if you must know , the reason i did n't go to the wedding was because -- actually , that reason is n't really important , but what is important is that all that stuff i said before , i was just trying to help claire out . no , we 're just friends , i promise , you know , that 's all . the truth is , she gave me some good advice once , and i just wanted to show my appreciation , you know , be a good friend to her in return . i mean -- i mean , she 's great , you know . theo : yeah . tripp : she 's -- you know , i really like her as a person , but she 's -- she 's your girlfriend , you know . and like i said before , i was just helping her out . claire : this is all very true . i mean , tripp was just helping me out . and i 'm so , so happy that you gave me another chance . and i think we both owe you for that . steve : i do n't know what you mean , baby . how have i not been honest with you about tripp ? kayla : okay , saying that you 're not being honest may be unfair , but i think sometimes you avoid talking to me about him . steve : you know why i do n't talk to you much about tripp . kayla : because you think i ca n't handle it . steve : because i know you 're very sad about joe . we both are . you know , why should i make it harder for you by going on about my other son all the time ? kayla : because he 's a part of your life , which makes him a part of my life . steve : okay . what do you want to know ? kayla : you have n't told me why he did n't go to the wedding . steve : what 's your mom always say ? an invitation is n't an obligation . kayla : i would think that he would want to be there to support his new family . steve : it 's a good thing he was n't there , though . i mean , like , what a disaster it turned out to -- kayla : oh , stop it , okay ? it was n't -- it was n't tripp 's decision not to go , was it ? it was yours . you -- you asked him not to go , did n't you ? steve : i thought it would be best , that the last thing you needed was to see was tripp at a family celebration . kayla : is that so ? so i 'm guessing that you said something to him like , `` hey listen , man , do n't -- do n't go to the wedding , okay ? because i know that you 're my son , but my wife is very fragile right now and she comes first , `` right ? is that what you said , some -- some version of that ? steve : no , i did n't say anything like that , no . in fact , i hardly had to say anything at all because tripp understood . kayla : of course , because he 's a sensitive guy . steve : i do n't know what you want from me , kayla . kayla : i want you to consult me before you go reading my mind and telling your son that i do n't want him around . that is unfair . do n't ever do that again . hope : gabi found will . he was dead . there was a funeral . he 's buried in st . luke 's cemetery . what 'd your father say to you ?

if i -- if i did n't kill him , what the hell happened ? man : all right , time 's up . clyde : yeah . i 'll explain everything when i come back and get you out of this hellhole . ben : that was it . i did n't hear from my father again after that . sonny : why would clyde tell ben that will 's alive ? victor : i do n't know , but it seems to me the two of you need to get down to the station and see what hope has found out . sonny : you 're right . victor : but before you go , look , i understand why you 're doing what you 're doing . i mean , you 're trying to process all of this , but your family is not your enemy . sonny : wish i felt the same way . victor : i 'm worried about him . brady : yeah , you should be . he 's a mess . he had no right to go after nicole that way either . i do n't -- speaking of which . victor : what ?

( avo ) if you 're burdened by belly pain and constipation , sonny : hey , did you -- did talk to him ? well , what did he say ? please tell me , what did he say ? hope : well , according to ben , clyde visited him at bayview during the siege . he said that his father told him he was gon na help him escape and reunite him with thomas , but he told clyde that he should n't get thomas back . he felt he would n't be a good father . paul : wow , ya think ? hope : for him to admit that , that 's huge . it 's a lot closer to reality than he usually is . paul : if clyde told ben that he was gon na kidnap thomas , and then he tried to do it -- hope : what 's your point ? paul : maybe -- maybe clyde was trying to alleviate ben 's guilt by saying that he had n't killed will . maybe , you know , clyde was thinking that ben 's sick mind would latch onto it and it would n't ruin his plan of reuniting ben and thomas . sonny : that 's possible , but -- paul : but what ? sonny : if ben was worried about thomas 's perception of him being a killer , why would n't clyde try to convince him that he had n't killed anyone ? hope : right , and why would he single will out ? brady : nicole , it 's brady . i just left you a message . call me . [ cell phone beeps ] victor : no answer ? brady : i 'm sure she 's fine . she 's fine . victor : nice of her to let you know that . brady : she 's a little late , all right . she 's just as little late . it 's not a big deal . she 's probably driving , and she ca n't answer her phone . i 'm sure she 'll -- she 'll be here any minute . [ thunder rumbles ] eric : when you chose lucas ... i knew i needed to move on . nicole : and then you went to colorado to be near your grandmother , and you accepted a photojournalist job in africa , and ... that led you to the priesthood . [ thunder rumbles ] i thought about it constantly . i thought about you ... where you were , what you were doing . eric : nicole , i thought about you , obviously . but dredging up the past is not gon na change my mind . my feelings for you are one - sided . you obviously know how that feels . i guess all of us experience unrequited love at least ... one point in our lives . it 's not fair . it 's not fair to you or to brady to have me around feeling the way i do ... especially not for you . it 's not fair of me to put you in that position . steve : i 'm sorry , baby . i was trying to protect you , and i ended up hurting you . you 've got ta know that 's not what i wanted to do . kayla : and i love you for wanting to protect me . and what tripp did , i -- i just -- i just ca n't open my heart to him . i hope that 's not always the case , but ... it is right now . steve : and you know i understand that , right ? kayla : yeah , i do . but you know what , this is bigger than me , bigger than us . and as much as we always have to think about what 's best for joey , you need to think about what 's best for tripp . steve : you 're right . i 'm sorry i second - guessed you . wo n't happen again . i ... am such a lucky man . kayla : yes , you are . i 'm lucky , too .

[ thunder rumbles ] eric : i hope you understand why i have to do this , why i have to leave salem . nicole : i 'm trying to . but what i still do n't understand is , why would brady give you an ultimatum ? [ thunder rumbles ] eric : he loves you . nicole : i know that , but what about respect ? if he truly respected me , he would know that you 've been a huge part of my life . not only have you saved me from myself time and time again , you rescued me and my daughter from xander . i mean , if you had n't done that , where would i be , where would my daughter be ? eric ... you truly have become ... one of my best friends . eric : you 're mine , too . i will always hold you close to my heart and take you wherever i go . nicole : eric . what if i do n't want you to go ? ben agai he : o , son . i n't let you that . i think ben ha useverything he knows , hich is , sadl not very much . pl : so whatyothinthat clydweon might kw more ? hope : there 's y one wayto find ou ke drive out tstatesville tomorrow , talk to m , hear whaheas to y . paul : what if he wo n't talk tus ? sonny : then i know someoneiltalk to . bradyco on , nicol where are you ? e ? eric : icole , do yoursela favor , go to th car and never look back . nicole : no . please just go . i want you to forget about me before i do something i regret . nicole : something like what ?

[ ahem ] after my fall , i ... i woke up in that convent . and staying with the nuns , they nearly convinced me to make amends with my enemies . brady : till that image of stefano changed your mind . kristen : yeah . [ sighs ] i did n't have the strength to fight demons on my own . brady : yeah . i suppose stefano ... would n't appeal to your better angels , kristen . kristen : yeah , but you do . you do , brady . and knowing that we could be together and that we could rekindle the love we once had ... that is all i want . that is all i need . so i need to know : is this a fool 's errand ? or can we really ... actually be together ? brady : let me tell you something . [ exhales ] see , over the years , i 've tried to convince myself that what we had was a -- was a lie . that i did n't love you . i tried to convince myself of that , but the truth if it was that i , uh ... once in a while ... i would think about what might have been . you know , that fantasy of you and me and what we had . it would make me smile . it really would . but then , you see , i had to push those feelings down . i had to ... i had to chastise myself because -- kristen : because i 'd hurt you ... and the people that you love . brady : that 's right . but i 'm looking at you right now , and let me tell you , i -- i -- i 'm sick of fighting that feeling . and all i want right now is you . kristen : [ exhales ] [ intense music ] sami : so we think this xander guy ... shot you on kristen 's behalf . john : it 's certainly possible . marlena : how do they even know each other ? sami : weekly meetings of psycho killers anonymous . john : those kinda people always run in the same circles . xander 's always been known as a gun for hire . maybe kristen just simply enlisted his services . sami : you know , the whole time that kristen 's guys were holding me , i did n't see any sign of him . john : last time he was in town , he brought ... theresa back from mexico . he was trying to get in good with his uncle . apparently , he thought vic was gon na make him ceo of titan . when that did n't happen , he just hightailed it outta town . maybe that 's when he hooked up with kristen . sami : great . basically that means we have two homicidal maniacs to deal with . eric : he knows ... that you ... nicole : that i killed deimos . yes . eric : but how ? xander : i 'll be happy to explain . you see ... before i left salem last summer , i had a quick gander in my uncle 's safe . i thought maybe he 'd have an extra gold brick or two lying around , but ... i found something much more valuable instead . a recording of nicole confessing to murder . eric : a recording that brady used to blackmail her into leaving me ? now you 're using it against her ? xander : well , after i left salem , i tracked nicole down and confronted her with her dirty little secret . eric : and what are you hoping to get out of it , money ? nicole : no . eric : [ softly ] then what ? xander : her lovely hand in marriage . eric : nicole would never marry you . xander : oh ... she already did . with uncontrolled valerie : that 's just eli . he 's a loyal friend . and i - i feel ... you know , maybe eli thinks he owes sheila for something that happened a long time ago . abe : well , maybe you should talk to him . make sure he does n't get sucked back into her web . valerie : well , he 's smarter than that . he can take care of himself . abe : i do n't know . he 's in a vulnerable place right now . valerie : well , that 's because of your daughter . lani : [ scoffs ] what the hell , eli ? why would you share something so personal with her ? eli : i told you , sheila and i are old friends . we grew up in baltimore together . sheila : yep . used to run around the playground together . so i know what a good man he is , and i do n't like the way you treated him . lani : excuse me ? eli : sheila , maybe you can give us a few minutes here ? sheila : no . someone needs to set this chick straight . lani : how is this any of your business ? sheila : eli just told you . [ laughs ] he and i are good friends . you know what ? more than that . we 're family . he laid out everything for me . so what makes you think you 're so much better than him ? eli : i never said that . lani : and i did n't either . sheila : then why else would you shut him down the way you did , especially when the poor man opened up his heart to you ? any woman can see he 's a good catch . he 's smart , successful , a true gentleman . he 's even funny -- well , sometimes -- but definitely easy on the eyes . but i guess that was n't good enough for you . and you still tossed him to the side . eli : sheila . that 'll be enough , thank you . if you would just -- sheila : okay , whatever . i just wanted miss price here to know what a huge mistake she 's making . lani : you have no idea what you 're talking about . you do n't know what eli and i have been through . sheila : oh , eli told me about the baby . [ small laugh ] i 'm truly sorry for that , but it 's still no excuse how you treated him . lani : you know what ? just mind your own damn business . eli : lani , wait -- lani : no . i have work to do . marlena : you think xander is still in salem ? john : uh ... i do n't know . i 'll call hope . i 'll ask her to be on the lookout just in case . marlena : so that 's a yes . john : no , honestly , i do n't see why he 'd stick around here . i mean , for all he knew , the deed was done . marlena : maybe if he 's been working with kristen , maybe they 're hiding out together . john : you said you thought that she was staying with stefan ? sami : but there 's plenty of places to hide at the mansion . he could be there too . but now stefan knows i 'm on to him , so there 's no way he did n't kick them out . it 'd be too risky to let them stay . marlena : so with no place left to hide , maybe she 's hightailed it out of town . john : yeah . we got lucky . maybe they 're both long gone . marlena : wherever they are , i 'm sure they 're creating chaos . eric : i ca n't believe this . xander forced you to marry him ? nicole : well , it was either that or go to prison for killing deimos . i was ready to take responsibility for what i did , but not if it meant leaving holly . xander : mm . so noble , this one , is n't she ? but if you must know , nicole has refused to consummate our marriage ... so far . and theresa 's false accusations notwithstanding , i would never force a woman to have sex with me . eric : what a guy . xander : too bad , though . i keep telling nicole that we could have something special , if only she could let go of the past -- ie , you . i knew as long as you were still walking the earth , she 'd never be able to love me . so that left me no choice . i had to kill you . nicole : what ? xander : oh , i took my best shot ... literally . but , as luck would have it , at the last possible second , you moved . so i shot your mother instead . 90 % of women brady : when did you get this ? kristen : mm ... after my swan dive in italy . it 's meant to signify my rebirth spiritually and physically . [ small laugh ] brady : i think it 's beautiful . kristen : now that we 're together ... i 'm kind of thinking i might have been a little too premature ... with the tattoo . brady : oh , yeah ? maybe you should get a , uh , a big heart right here with brady in the middle of it . kristen : [ giggling ] brady : would you prefer that ? [ both laugh ] kristen : not quite . brady : no ? kristen : just , um ... being here with you right now , it 's just ... i feel like i 've woken up from this terrible nightmare . i mean , the last few years have been so unbearable . brady : the recovery -- that must have been ... painful for you , huh ? kristen : not as painful as knowing that i might have lost you . or that you hate me . i was so lonely . brady : you were alone ? i mean , were you ... kristen : [ laughs ] what , you think i was with another man ? brady : no , no , no , i did n't mean that . i did n't mean that , i just ... i was thinking you were actually with -- with ej . or was ... was that a lie ? [ edgy music ] john : all right . i spoke to hope , got her up to speed on the fact that xander was the one who shot doc . sami : oh , fantastic . what 's she gon na do about it ? john : she 's gon na put out an apb ... and unfortunately , it only covers salem . but i also spoke to victor . he has n't heard from xander since he left town . sami : well , as far as i know , kristen and xander could be anywhere by now . john : yeah . well , there 's one thing i know about fugitives are they ... screw up . they 're gon na make one mistake , and when they do , i 'm gon na be right there to bring 'em to justice . sami : i 'm not exactly super - concerned about justice right now . marlena : but ej ? sami : kristen 's my only hope , mom . if he 's alive , if he 's out there , she 's the only one who knows where he is . john : yeah , samantha ... [ rubbing hands ] we both know how much you wan na believe that 's true , but ... please , be careful about getting your hopes up , okay ? sami : thank you , john . john : yeah . sami : i have been disappointed more times than i can count , but i am not giving up . this is too important , and right now , my gut is telling me ... that it 's gon na be different this time . [ edgy music ] nicole : you tried to kill eric ? eric : you son of a bitch ! xander : it was the only surefire way to stop you pining for him . nicole : when was this ? xander : remember that business trip i took back in august ? well , i could n't miss salem 's social event of the season -- john and marlena 's wedding . i had a clear shot at eric until he decided to tackle his gun - toting sister . eric : sami . nicole : sami had a gun too ? xander : it 's a long story . eric : you let sami think she shot her own mother ! xander : and now she 'll know the truth and be relieved of the crippling guilt she must feel . honestly , i 'm just glad to have it all out in the open . if there 's one thing i hate , it 's keeping secrets from my wife . eric : you 're sick ! nicole : [ gasps ] [ dramatic chords ] you are gon na spend the rest of your life behind bars . xander : i would n't be too sure about that , mate . it 's time to finish the job .

kristen : well , since i need constant supervision , i think the best course of action would be to have rolf move in with me . brady : [ laughs ] over my dead body , kristen ! rolf : that stipulation does raise some interesting possibilities . brady : hmm . maybe you 're looking to have somebody try your serum on you ? rolf : speaking of which , i have work to do . so i will leave it to the proud parents to - be to sort all this out . brady : why are you smiling like that ? kristen : like this ? brady : yeah . kristen : well , it 's obvious that you wanted a moment alone with me . so i 'm all yours . gabi : you want to ask me something now ? eli : like i said , it 's very important . gabi : okay , i see . well , considering the fact that i 'm trying to find a way to say good - bye to my husband since i did just figure out that he 's not gon na be coming back to me , but go ahead . eli : gabi , i know this is a terrible time . like i said , this ca n't wait -- gabi : oh , my god . i know what you want . eli : you do ? gabi : yeah . you want me to forgive lani . lani : checking out the crime scene again ? rafe : i was just hoping if i did another sweep of the area , i might get some answers as who tried to run down ciara . lani : hm . are you worried it 's jordan ? rafe : she swore to me that she 's innocent , she would never do anything again to hurt ciara . lani : so you 're saying that you believe her ? [ tense music ] ciara : jordan ? what the hell are you doing here ? victor : did you just barge into my house claiming that i owed you ? ben : yes . because you do . victor : i find your lack of respect repugnant , but i admire your guts . what is this favor you 've come to ask ? ben : i need you to get rid of my sister . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] gabi : your trigger - happy girlfriend already tried that . you know , she was here last night telling me how sorry she was . eli : gabi -- gabi : what ? what is it ? what do you want ? eli , what -- you want me to swear that i 'm not gon na sue her ? promise that i 'm not gon na try to get her fired ? absolve her from the action that she took in one moment that took away the entire chance at a lifetime of happiness for me ? okay , so no . i am feeling a lot of things and forgiveness is not one of them . i 'm sorry . rafe : neither ben nor ciara actually saw jordan behind the wheel of the car . and besides , jordan does n't even have a car . lani : but she does have a history of violence towards ciara . rafe : yeah . well . bottom line , there 's not one shred of evidence that indicates that jordan is behind this thing . lani : and as a cop , you have to look for that evidence . and if you do n't find it , you have to follow your guts . rafe : yeah , i know . listen , i want to believe jordan , i do . i have my doubts . the bottom line is her and her brother have a history of bad blood . ben : you remember jordan , right ? victor : the homicidal maniac who tried to burn ciara alive ? yeah , she rings a bell . ben : yeah , well , she 's back in town . they let her out of bayview . victor : then she 's suddenly rehabilitated just like you were . ben : no . not at all . she 's still extremely dangerous , and i need you to stop her . victor : well , i 'm sort of busy with problems with my own family now to get involved with any insipid feud you may have with your sister . though i must say , i 'm pleased that clyde 's spawn are finally turning their homicidal impulses to each other for a change . ben : no , no , no . jordan is n't trying to hurt me . she 's after ciara again . jordan : i 'm here to apply for a job . physical therapist position i had a few years ago . i 'm living in salem , and i have a baby now , you know ? got to go back to work , so -- [ elevator rumbles ] ciara : why did you just do that ? jordan : why do n't us two girls have a little chat ? jordan : ciara , it is a matter of life and death that you understand what is going on . okay , i know my brother has tried to make you think that i 'm behind your near - miss in the parking lot . and i know he 's been filling your head full of ideas that i 'm out to hurt you . ciara : ben is -- well , he 's very protective of me . jordan : well , he is very wrong about me , okay ? i have worked so hard to get well and to give my son and i a fresh start because that 's all that i want . and i 've got ben out here making threats and telling people that i 'm still some kind of a threat . oh , my god ! his lies , it just makes me want to scream . but , honey , i know what he 's doing this for . we both know ben wants to get rid of me . ben : i ca n't say for sure whether jordan was behind the wheel of that car or not , but i have no question in my mind that she is responsible for what happened to ciara . victor : you 're sure my granddaughter is all right ? ben : yes . she 's fine . she 's just -- just a little shaken up . victor : you reported this to the police ? ben : of course . but jordan says she had no involvement . and since we do n't have any witnesses or evidence to prove otherwise , the cops ca n't do anything , which is why i came to see you . victor : so you 're asking me to commit a crime on your behalf . ben : you tried to kill me in this very room . and i never told ciara about it , which is why you owe me this . and i figured since you had no problem when you were willing to choke the life out of me in order to protect ciara that you 'd have no problem with helping me make jordan disappear for the exact same reason . victor : well , our interests do seem to align . ben : so you 'll do it ? victor : i 'll do whatever is necessary to keep my granddaughter safe . if what you say is true -- ben : yeah . you got to believe me . i 'm telling you , the threat to ciara is not me . it 's jordan . victor : maybe i should get rid of both of you just to be on the safe side . ben : [ scoffs ] as i 've told you many times , victor , i love ciara . i 'm not a threat to her or anybody else anymore . but jordan is . they never should have let her out of that hospital . lani : are you having second thoughts about vouching for jordan in court ? rafe : jordan was released from bayview with a clean bill of mental health . lani : you do n't think that seemed kind of quick ? rafe : [ chuckles ] oh , i agree , it was quick , but doctors say that she 's mentally stable . who am i to stand in the way of a mother and her son ? and besides , i was the only one that jordan had to turn to . lani : i have n't had a chance to bring this up , but when i came to the house last night to question jordan , i could n't help notice that you two were really comfortable together . rafe : oh , were we ? lani : yeah . rafe : like , we are not romantically involved , if that 's what you 're implying . and i care about her and her son . lani : you 're right . i 'm sorry . rafe : okay . lani : you know , i know you were there for me , and i really do think that it 's wonderful that you 're stepping up to take care of a single mother . rafe : right . rolf : it appears as if i am the answer to your prayers . kristen : so tell me . what is it that you want , brady ? brady : what i do n't want is rolf anywhere near my kid . i do n't even know why you would consider that given that you already have an obstetrician ? kristen : i do ? brady : you said , when i came to your room , the strange voice that i heard was your obstetrician on speaker phone , right ? kristen : right . yeah . no . that did n't work out . brady : that did n't ? kristen : mm - mm . brady : then you need to get another ob . preferably someone that does n't study under dr . frankenstein would be great . kristen : you know , i 'm sorry that my choices on how to manage my pregnancy do n't meet your high standards . but i am doing the best i can to figure this all out on my own . i do n't have anyone to turn to . my father is god knows where , and my brother tony , and he 's still angry with me that i almost let him take a murder rap . and now my brother stefan is brain dead . [ monitor beeping ] eli : gabi , internal affairs interviewed lani this morning . they cleared her of any wrongdoing . gabi : oh . well , there 's a shocker . we both know that the salem pd has it out for the dimeras . the odds of them doing an unbiased investigation are even longer than the odds of stefan waking up . eli : gabi , she tried to shoot her . okay , she had to protect herself . what else could she have done ? gabi : well , she could have hit what she was aiming at , okay ? lani could have killed that bitch . eli : all right , fine . let 's not argue about this . everyone agrees that what happened to stefan is a tragedy . and i am truly sorry for your loss . gabi : i believe you . so , okay , well , if it 's not about lani , then what do you want ? eli : i came here for my grandmother . i want to ask you if you 'll give stefan 's heart to julie . ciara : look , i 'm meeting my mother here , and if i 'm late , she 'll definitely start to worry , so -- jordan : please , ciara . i am desperate . listen , ben wants me put away . he wants me put back into bayview so he can talk rafe into letting him be around david . i do not want him anywhere near my son . ciara : i really need you to move , jordan . jordan : i wish you would hear me . i wish you could see the kind of man that he really is . ciara : i do . i do see , and i love him . jordan : oh , my god . why is everyone giving ben a second chance but not me ? he has murdered three people . no , but you know what ? he 's cured . he 's a good guy . me ? no . i 'm the bad guy . i 'm scary . oh , my god . this is crazy . [ button clicking ] oh , now look what you did . you broke the damn thing . looks like you 're stuck here with me . ciara : [ under breath ] come on . ben : i 'm telling you , jordan is out to hurt ciara . i 'm just trying to protect her . victor : i generally do n't believe serial killers . but given your sister 's track record , i ca n't ignore your claim . ben : so i did the right thing coming to you since the cops wo n't help ? victor : i 'm not surprised the police did n't do anything . they never do . i learned the hard way a long time ago that , at one point or another , a man has to take the law into his own hands . rafe : i wish i knew for sure whether or not jordan had something to do with what happened here . but till more evidence comes to light , i 'm just gon na have to keep a close eye on her . lani : yeah , well , i really need to get that food order in for eli and his family , so -- rafe : yeah . right , okay . listen , i meant what i said earlier . you 're a great cop . lani : it really does n't feel like that right now . i mean , i know i got cleared and all , but still -- rafe : yeah . lani : yeah . rafe : yeah , it 's always tough , no matter what the circumstances , if you take a life . lani : it 's not just any life though . it 's your sister 's husband . and i just -- i just -- i feel awful . rafe : yeah , that 's gon na take some time for you , for her . and her first step is accepting that stefan 's gone . lani : yeah , about that . after you left seeing her earlier , eli went to talk to her . and he 's with her right now asking her if she 'll donate stefan 's heart to julie . brady : i 'm sorry about stefan . kristen : thank you . you know , i -- i did n't really know him , but now i 'm never gon na even get the chance , but -- since i 've been ostracized from what little family i have left , i am looking ahead to the next generation of dimeras . do n't you worry , little andy or jenny . i wo n't let anyone hurt you . brady : i 'm sorry . andy or jenny ? kristen : just playing around with some names . oh , what if we had twins ? would n't that be marvelous ? brady : kristen , we were talking about finding you a doctor , okay ? kristen : your mother is a very strong and independent woman . and i will do whatever it takes to keep you safe . dr. rolf , eccentric as he may be , did have a hand in your conception . so i 'm gon na have to trust him to provide the care that we need . brady : kristen , stop . there 's got to be another way . rolf : i heard about julie williams . i understand her prognosis is quite bleak . hope : stefano dimera 's personal physician . his son 's near death , that 's why you 're here , is n't it ? you 're planning another one of your resurrections . rolf : as i told mrs . dimera , my formula only works if a patient has a spark of life . unfortunately , mr . dimera has no such spark . now julie williams , on the other hand -- hope : wait a minute . what are you -- what are you telling me ? are you saying you could help julie ? gabi : is this some kind of sick joke ? eli : gabi , please . just hear me out . nothing is certain at this point , but the doctors think that stefan could be a match for julie . his heart ... gabi , his heart is strong . my grandmother almost got kate 's heart , when that fell through , she fell into a deep coma . and there is a chance that she may never wake up unless -- gabi : you know what you are asking of me ? eli : i know . and i would n't do that if i did n't truly believe that this would help you . gabi : help me ? eli : gabi , listen , what happened to stefan was a terrible accident , okay ? but his death does n't have to be in vain . now i know that must be -- that must be impossible for you to imagine right now because of the pain that you are going through . gabi , i promise , if you do this , not only will it bring so much joy to me and my family but it will also help you heal because stefan 's heart , which is filled with so much love for you will live on . gabi , i am sorry to ask you to make such a huge decision so fast ... but my grandmother does n't have a lot of time . and only you can save her . will you ? rafe : eli 's talking to gabi ? lani : yeah , and he was agonizing over it . if someone should ask her , who should ask her , the time , and then you finally said that gabi was accepting the fact that stefan was never coming back . rafe : yeah , but i did n't mean that she was ready to donate his heart . she was completely devastated . lani : of course , and i get that , and eli would have waited , but julie is barely hanging on , rafe . rafe : i know . i know that . i mean , obviously , i want what 's best for her . you know , i want it for her , for hope , doug , ciara . but , you know , everyone who loves -- i love her . lani : and so does eli . and that is where he 's coming from . rafe : okay . i know . i understand that . it 's just gabi and julie , they 've had a rough history , you know ? and i just -- i do n't know that she 's in a position right now to give something to the person that has shown her such contempt . gabi : you want me to give my husband 's heart to julie williams ? eli : i know you and my grandma do n't have the greatest relationship . gabi : okay . that 's -- i think that 's an understatement , do n't you ? you do know that , at some point , we have wished each other dead . eli : but this is a chance to end all of that . gabi , i know how terrible you felt when my grandmother had that heart attack in the park , and then you thought she was faking it and left her there . gabi : are you saying that i owe this to julie ? rolf : i can not heal julie 's heart , but i can give her something that no other doctor can . hope : what ? what is it ? rolf : time . i can extend her life so that , hopefully , she can hold on till another heart becomes available . hope : and why should i trust you ? rolf : i do n't think you have any other options . i am willing to extend the benefit of brilliance to julie . so if you could just do me the courtesy of accompanying me to my lab , i shall deliver to you that miracle you ask for . i 'm going to help you to help julie . so what are you afraid of ? ciara : i 'm calling ben . jordan : well , good luck . i remember trying to make calls from these elevators . you 'll never get a signal . looks like we 're gon na be here a while . when are you going to learn , ciara ? i am not the one you should be scared of . the only one you should be afraid of is ben . ben : so you 'll do it ? victor : yes , i 'll deal with jordan . ben : thank you , mr . kiriakis . victor : you know , you say you 're a changed man , that my granddaughter 's love has saved you . you 're no longer the monster that killed those people . ben : i 'll always regret the horrible actions i took , the pain i caused . but yes , ciara 's love did change me , it changed everything , made me a better man . victor : if that 's the case , are you sure you want your sister 's blood on your hands ? kristen : this -- this is a high - risk pregnancy , brady . any little thing that happens to me , i could lose this baby . i need someone by my side , will take care of me so that little andy or jenny will make it safely into this world . brady : i can hire somebody . not a problem . kristen : no , i do n't want a stranger . i do n't want a stranger hovering over me in my most vulnerable moment . ideally , the father would be here , taking care of us , monitoring , protecting his child . but you do n't seem to want to make that happen . so ...

does this look pretty to you ? it 's not pretty . i do n't know -- i 'm not pretty anymore . i do n't know if i 'm ever gon na be pretty again . and i just ... i just need some sleep , okay ? i swear to god , if i do n't get some sleep , i 'm gon na freaking lose my -- [ tate crying ] theresa : i ca n't -- i ca n't do this anymore . i can not do this anymore . kate : lucas , it 's good of you to check on me , but honestly , i 'm fine and i 'm not scared of clyde . lucas : you should be scared of clyde , 'cause one guard is n't enough , mom . and your bodyguards do n't know what they 're doing anyway . clyde tried to shoot you twice already . you should n't be alone . and i know that philip asked you to stay with him already . kate : too crowded . lucas : it 's not too crowded . what are you talking about ? place is thinning out already . chloe 's gone . she has no plans to return to salem -- you should be happy about that . kate : she should have taken deimos with her . and victor . and theresa . should i go on ? lucas : is there anybody in the western hemisphere that you could stomach long enough for your own safety ? kate : hm . well , i am fond of chad . and of course , there 's always andré . chad : that woman certainly keeps me on my game . andré : i gather , from the call , you mean kate . chad : in 24 hours , she snagged three international investors that i 've been working weeks to try to win over . i would certainly love to know her secret . andré : no , she got creative , something you 've been loathe to do . chad : what , are you trying to tell me that kate is n't on board with my plan to make dimera enterprises legit ? andré : well , she may be no board with the idea but what she 's proven from her recent business activities is that she is a true dimera . willing to color outside the lines whenever necessary . question is , are you ? chad : well , if you 're asking me if i am willing to go against my own principles , then the answer is no . andré : but you already have . when you smelled kiriakis blood , you moved in for the kill . chad : see , i did n't do anything illegal , and nothing that they would n't have done if the situation was reversed . andré : true . but are you ready to make the tough decisions ? the really ugly ones ? joey : i wan na go with you to john and marlena 's . i want to be part of the plan to catch these creeps . kayla : no . you have been through enough . steve : no , actually , it 's not a bad idea . kayla : really ? steve : well , joe spent up - close and personal time with those creeps . maybe heard or saw something that could help us . kayla : i guess you 've earned not having your mother be overprotective . steve : there you go , sweetness . joey : and anyway , orpheus does n't want me anymore . but that does n't mean he 's stopped wanting revenge . all he was talking about when i was at the warehouse , was making his enemies suffer . steve : well , that 's all the more reason we have to put this plan into motion fast . before that bastard makes his next move . joey : and if we do n't , he will make good on that threat . i guarantee it . i had that dream again -- you know . theresa : yeah , you do n't know the song . i made up a song about clouds . seems to be the only thing that works . brady : theresa , i 'm sorry . theresa : hey , you know what , it 's not your fault , okay ? you do n't know the song ... brady : no , no , no , it 's not about the song . about you and tate being cooped up in here . theresa : it 's more than just being a fussy baby . i mean , that goes with being a mom , you know ? goes along with all the good stuff that i would n't trade for the world . brady : is it about not being able to go outside ? theresa : more about being inside all the time , you know ? every time we turn a corner , i run into some member of your extended family . especially victor . i mean , brady , he still treats me like i 'm an outsider , or worse . brady : i know . so let 's -- listen , i 've told you this before . i 'm gon na tell you again . just stop trying with him . give it up , i mean -- you are a good person . you know that , i know that . if my grandfather chooses to be unkind and judgmental , then damn it , that 's his problem . it 's not yours . theresa : how is that not my problem ? when every time i see him in the hallway , i 'm just stressed out and , i mean , god forbid i have to sit across from him at the kitchen table , you know , during dinner . he wo n't even look at me , brady . brady : well , that 's his loss , because you 're really , really really great to look at . [ both cooing ] lucas : why am i surprised ? i should n't be surprised at all . andré 's totally your type . kate : [ forced laugh ] okay , not that it 's any of your business , but our relationship is purely platonic . and what do you mean by my type ? lucas : he 's your type . he 's a homicidal maniac . you love those guys . kate : oh , that 's nice . that 's so respectful , lucas . lucas : what did you think ? did you think having a murderer in this house would scare off the other ones ? is that what you thought ? kate : you know what 's such a coincidence , is that you are as distressed by my living arrangement as i am yours . lucas : really ? i think that 's a stretch . do n't you ? are you comparing adrienne to the likes of clyde and andré ? no way . kate : okay , all i 'm saying , that by agreeing to live at the dimera mansion and watch over chad 's son , you are putting your life in jeopardy . or have you forgotten that the main reason that clyde came to salem was to take thomas ? lucas : no , i did n't forget that . have you forgotten the dimera mansion is the safest place in salem ? it 's guarded within an inch of its own life . i could n't be anywhere safer . that 's why i would like you to consider moving to the dimera mansion with us . kate : oh , really ? lucas : yeah . kate : but to be perfectly clear , you would prefer that i live with philip at the kiriakis mansion . lucas : i would prefer you go to europe with austin . kate : [ laughs ] excuse me , what did you say ? lucas : nothing , forget it , nothing . i assume that 's a no . kate : much to your relief . lucas : i will be relieved when clyde weston is behind bars and he ca n't get to you . that 's when i 'll be relieved . kate : okay , honey , look . there 's nothing to worry about , all right ? and by the way , mental health issues aside , andré is not a monster like clyde . he 's good company . and he reminds me of my old friend , tony . lucas : you know , i 'm beginning to think you 're the one with the mental health issues . and you need to deal with them , so your children do n't have to . kate : [ forced laugh ] love you ! nicole : okay , wait . we should stop . deimos : what ? [ both moaning ] nicole : there 's no privacy in this house . deimos : come on ! nicole : oh , it 's brady . deimos : brady ? nicole : stop , stop . marlena : i have n't had a chance to thank you for all you did for claire . joey : i 'm just relieved she got out alive . john : now that you kids are in the clear , we can act a little more aggressively smoking these clowns out . steve : you know what , i think we need to keep in mind that now they lost their leverage and the ransom money , they might be gearing up for a major showdown as we speak . marlena : which is why we have to move quickly . kayla : i do n't want joey in the line of fire again . joey : mom , please , i 'm fine . john : kayla , you do n't even have to worry about that . we 're not gon na go busting in , shooting the place up . this plan call for us to deal with each of these men one on one surgically . marlena : and each one of them has a different trigger . so we have to approach them all very differently . i have made up some files on each one . starting with ... xander . aka alexandros cook kiriakis . a young man who , according to his own uncle , was considered a `` bad seed `` and never fully accepted into the family . the rejection and neglect he suffered and his inability to prove himself worthy of the kiriakis name , has manifested itself into a need for control , through money , manipulation and violence . that brings us ... to clyde weston . clyde weston is a man consumed by guilt over having abused his children the same way he was abused by his father . ironically , clyde does n't hold himself or his son ben responsible for their crimes . instead he 's blame- shifted onto chad dimera , determined to redeem himself in ben 's eyes by reuniting him with chad 's son . favorite tool of redemption ? also violence . and finally , we come to orpheus . he 's the most dangerous because he 's got nothing to lose . he 's consumed by grief that he 's never been able to get past , he 's lost all perspective . he sees the world in black and white . his end is going to be violent . but the one question remains is , will he go alone or will he take people he thinks of as his enemies with him ? kayla : then what do we do ? you already made it clear that all three are past the point of rational negotiation . marlena : and that might be our one advantage . when kate asked me to bring you back to dimera enterprises . you heard me tell her that i do n't have time to run a company and watch my back . andré : i do n't understand -- chad : i still do n't have time for that . and you 're still on probation . andré : well , of course , i did n't mean to imply -- chad : i allowed one questionable transaction . and you assume that i 'm on some slippery ethical slope to doing things my father 's way , and that 's not the case . do you understand ? andré : i was just simply -- chad : you might be back at dimera enterprises . but i 'm still in charge . do n't forget that . andré : of course . oh , chad , my intention was not to take control , but to advise you , that 's all . i want all of this to work out . i want to be part of my brother 's life . kate : andré . andré : hello , kate . chad : i understand congratulations are in order . you closed those contracts . kate : i was hoping you 'd be pleased . chad : we make a good team . kate : yes , we do . chad : i 'm very happy to have you back . kate : same here . andré : [ chuckling ] just a love - fest all around . brady : sorry , just looking for tate 's bunny . deimos : of course you are . nicole : see , this is what i am talking about , and this is why i should be leaving . deimos : no , no . i want you here . in fact , i 'm gon na go talk to security , move your car to the garage . nicole : you can look now , brady , i 'm -- i 'm dressed . i 'm sorry , deimos and i -- brady : no , no , no , no . it 's none of my business . nicole : no , it 's not . but i know how you feel about deimos . brady : no , no , it 's okay . we 're not exactly butting heads as much as we used to . nicole : oh , well , that 's a good thing , right ? brady : do me a favor . be careful . nicole : i will . brady : with all the crap that 's going on in this town right now , as much as i did n't really wan na see that , it was nice seeing ... that smile on your face . i have n't seen that in a long time , and that was nice nicole : yeah , i 'm ... kinda scared to say it out loud , but i never thought ... i 'd feel this way again . but , yeah , i 'm ... i 'm happy . marlena : all rightie . based on these profiles , we know exactly how to trigger each man to get the responses that we 're looking for . i 've put flags on certain mental disorders that correlate to each man . you 'll wan na study those . they are predictable . john : okay , so now that we know what makes each and every one of these guys tick , just have to find a way to exploit the hell out of 'em and hopefully pressure them into screwing up . joey : you should know i tried that when orpheus showed me the picture of his kids . marlena : that 's his biggest weakness . joey : i figured that , but it was like , after he finished talking about his kids , he got , like , really angry at me for getting him to open up about it . john : excellent , man . this is exactly why you came . good job . marlena : we might have to rethink the way we push his buttons . kayla : how are we gon na do that when we do n't even know where they are ? joey : well , one claire got away , they left the warehouse and we ended up in some new hideout . it kinda looked like the old one . steve : you know , if we start searching the warehouse district , i think we might tip 'em off . it 's not a good idea . john : which is why we 're not going after them . we 're gon na flush 'em out of hiding . we 're gon na force their hands on our turf . what marlena flagged , how do we make contact ? marlena : hey , wait a minute . we ca n't do this alone . there 's just five of us . steve : who else are you talking about ? john : everyone who has a target on their back . not just from one guy , but from all three of them . steve : you think it 's smart to get civilians involved ? kayla : we 're already involved . marlena : we all want the same thing . we all want an end to this reign of terror . so in my experience , we all have to work together , and that 's the way we get this thing done . joey : i do n't think we 're the only ones with backup . steve : what does that mean ? joey : the entire time i was held hostage , clyde was on the phone constantly , asking guys if they wanted in on the action of bringing the town to its knees . john : all right , fine . more reason to get everybody involved here . we 're gon na need that manpower . marlena : as long as we present a united front . kayla : do you see a problem with that ? marlena : well , not everybody gets along . steve : they 're damn well gon na have to rise above , are n't they ? john : that 's a fact . they wo n't have a problem putting differences aside to make this happen . joey : i do n't think that 's gon na happen . those maniacs , even though they 're supposed to be working together , they 're constantly ragging on each other . marlena : which will only help our divide and conquer strategy . theresa : hey , thanks , but tate dozed off without it . what took you so long ? brady : well , i thought you could use a little self - soothing yourself . ca n't take you on a real date , so this is gon na have to do for right now . theresa : yeah , thanks , but -- what , i mean , it 's really sweet , honey , but if i take one sip , i 'm just so wiped out i 'm gon na pass out and ... brady : all right . well , we 're at least gon na make a toast . theresa : okay . brady : you hold that . theresa : [ laughs ] brady : i would like to toast to the most beautiful mother and wife to be . theresa : oh , yeah . yeah , i 'm looking really gorgeous these days with the dark circles under my eyes and the , you know , t - shirt featuring spit - up -- brady : i love it all . it all works for me . ever tell you i had a thing for spit - up and dark circles -- theresa : you shut up . brady : i thought you were ready to pass out . is n't that what you said ? `` brady , i need sleep . `` theresa : i got a second wind . actually , yeah . brady : okay . theresa : mm - hmm . brady : love second wind . theresa : [ giggles ] [ cell phone ringing ] theresa : god , please do n't answer that . do n't -- brady : i 'm not . i 'm not gon na answer . but i 'm gon na silence it . theresa : okay . brady : good - bye . see you la -- it 's my dad . it 's my dad . [ both chuckling ] deimos : i was beginning to think brady would never find that damn toy . nicole : he did find us . deimos : well , he 's not gon na find us now . [ cell phone ringing ] nicole : it 's okay , just answer it . deimos : hello ? yes , this is deimos . dr. evans , hello . well , as a matter of fact , nicole is right here . why ? what 's going on ? chad : no problem . kate : what was that about ? chad : kayla said that she and steve would explain when they got over here . what are you -- no , no , no . not you . you got ta go . andré : hm ? i beg your pardon ? kate : well , then , i should probably leave as well . chad : no , 'cause she asked for you to stay here specifically , just not him . kayla : thank you . steve : still ca n't believe my sister 's living in this mausoleum -- kayla : thank you . thank you for seeing us at such short notice . chad : absolutely . i heard about joey . you guys must be so relieved . kayla : yeah , we are , thank you . how is our great nephew ? chad : thomas is doing really well , thanks to adrienne and lucas . kayla : yeah , are they here ? because they really should be in on this . chad : no , they 're not . they 're with -- they 're out . i 'll fill them in as soon as they get back . steve : you know , i really do n't want adrienne involved in anything to do with these three animals . chad : i figured that that 's what this was about . marlena was here earlier . kate : and we told her everything about clyde . kayla : so then you 're aware that his main focus is to reunite thomas with ben ? chad : that 's why we have all this security . i mean , if that bastard even tries to get close to this place -- steve : wait a minute . since when do the dimeras wait for anyone to make the first move ? chad : i assumed that the police were doing their job . kayla : well , they need some help , and john and marlena have come up with a plan . steve : and we need you to be a part of it . chad : well , if it means keeping my son safe , then i 'm in . kate : i suppose you want me to do something ? steve : kate , since you have a history with clyde , he 's already come after you twice , chance are , he 's probably gon na want to finish the job . but since you do n't live in a locked - down place like this , you 'd be a better candidate for luring that snake it . kate : a lure ? as in bait ? that 's what you want me to be ? steve : yes . john : i 'm really sorry to have to drag you out here in the middle of the night , but i wanted to talk to you away from deimos . brady : what 's this about ? john : where 's the baby ? theresa : he 's asleep . emma 's with him . john : all right . it 's good that someone 's watching him , and i 'm glad to hear he 's locked up at victor 's . look , son , it 's um ... it 's very clear that two of these maniacs are gunning for you . xander , for one , simply because of what you did . brady : i know about xander . who 's the other one ? john : orpheus . simply because you 're my son , you 're now in his crosshairs . brady : what do you suggest i do about that ? john : i want you both to listen to me very carefully and do exactly what i say . now first of all , there will not be a repeat of what went down on the docks with this kiriakis goons . brady : you heard about that ? john : of course , i heard about that . now despite what happened , i want you to make peace with deimos . we all need to be on the same page here . the last thing i need is him going rogue and -- brady : dad . dad , i think there 's something you do n't understand -- john : do n't fight me on this , kid . brady : listen , i 'm not -- what you do n't understand is that deimos did n't order the raid . i did . deimos : welcome . marlena : thank you . i 'm sure you were a little thrown to hear from me , huh ? deimos : yeah , you might say that . nicole : marlena . marlena : hi , nicole . nicole : wow . twice in one day . did n't victor and i give you enough on xander ? marlena : you did , thank you . and you were very helpful . then i got to think about deimos and realized that , well , you know xander . you might have some idea where he is . deimos : you mean because we 're both kiriakis outcasts ? marlena : no , mostly because victor had rejected both of you , and yet , you 're the one who survived . deimos : well , that 's because i forced victor 's hand when it came to accepting me . xander folded . marlena : but you must have known how he felt . deimos : absolutely . he knew i understood , better than anyone . marlena : so did that make you more responsive to what he was going through ? deimos : are you asking me to reach out to my nephew ? marlena : yes . i am . nicole : what about me ? marlena : well , nicole , he tried to kill you . and i suspect he may try again . so unless you just want to wait here for him to come after you , or maybe you want to fight back . deimos : forget it . all right , nicole will not be a part of this . i 'm in , but only if she 's out . nicole : i appreciate your concern , deimos . but i 'm just as much a target as anyone else in this town . deimos : exactly . which is why you should n't be a part of this . marlena : you know what ? you seem like a very intuitive fellow to me . you must realize by now that nicole does n't do anything she does n't want to do . now if you really care about protecting your family , as you say you do -- nicole : he does . deimos : i would do anything to protect my family . marlena : will you do exactly as you 're told ? nothing more , nothing less ? deimos : if the plan means putting an end to the threat of these three madmen , i will follow it to the letter . marlena : i 'll need your word on that . deimos : you got it . chad : i mean , there 's got ta be a way we can make this work without involving kate . kayla : well , according to john and marlena , her role is pivotal in catching clyde . chad : and what if something goes wrong ? i mean , clyde 's already tried to kill her twice , i mean , what ... no . there 's got ta be another way . steve : if there is , we do n't have time to come up with it . we need to move on this now before they strike again . kayla : we are all putting ourselves on the line in one way or the other , and it is crucial that we all work together on this . i mean , if we do n't work -- steve : if we do n't work together , we 're all screwed . so are you two in ... or out ? john : i suspected it was you who ordered the raid . brady : i know it 's -- it was a mistake ! theresa : xander almost strangled me before our wedding , okay ? brady was just -- he was afraid of what he might do next . he was only protecting his family . brady : already been read the riot act from the entire family , especially now since the dimeras got wind of the fallout and they moved in on our territory . john : so the rumblings are true . the feud between the families has been rekindled . brady : rumblings are true . john : well , you know what ? all that 's got ta be put aside if this plan 's gon na work . there 's gon na be no more kiriakis versus dimera . it 's gon na be all of us against those three psychopaths if we 're gon na win this thing . by god , we 're gon na win this thing . we all need a hug in the morning ... theresa : sound asleep . brady : see , our luck is changing , theresa , i 'm telling you . after talking with my dad , i think that this whole ordeal in town is finally coming to an end . and we will finally be able to just be normal human beings once again . theresa : i hope so . brady : hey , what is it ? tell me . theresa : it 's still not over , brady . i mean , between now and when it is , what if something happens ? brady : nothing 's going to happen . theresa : your dad said it . xander and orpheus have their sights set on you -- brady : it does n't matter . nothing 's going to happen , theresa , okay ? i 'm a very powerful man . i can make things happen . theresa : i 'm not in a joking mood . brady : come on . i know you 're not ; come here . come here . okay , truth be told , i ca n't guarantee everything , and i ca n't control everything that happens in our lives , but this , i can tell you for sure . i 'm so in love with you and our family and i 'm determined to make our lives so much fun and happy and joyous and i 'm gon na make that happen . maybe with a few siblings . who knows ? theresa : [ laughs ] what ? brady : yeah . theresa : a few ? no , how many is a few ? brady : i was thinking eight , maybe 14 . i do n't know , something like -- theresa : stop it . brady : we 'll just have -- we 'll pace ourselves . one kid every two years . does that sound good ? theresa : yeah . yeah , that sounds great . hey , but first thing 's first . okay ? brady : yeah , i know , we got ta get the ... get the old knot tied , right ? theresa : brady ... i just ... what if we do n't get married ? i mean , i just keep thinking that , you know , daniel died -- brady : stop , baby , baby . stop , we are getting married . it 's going to happen . and no one , not even xander , can prevent that from happening , okay ? you just need a little distraction . that 's what you need . theresa : [ scoffs ] brady : speaking of which , what were we doing right before my phone started to ring ? i ca n't remember , what was that ? it was fun . theresa : it was , yeah . brady : mm ? theresa : mm - hmm . brady : hey . you hear that ? theresa : hear what ? brady : exactly . it 's beautiful . theresa : [ laughs ] nicole : i am almost giddy knowing what 's in store for xander . i only wish it could start tonight . deimos : well , then , that would n't leave us any time . nicole : for what ? deimos : what do you think ? tomorrow 's gon na be here soon enough . so why do n't we enjoy the calm before the storm , huh ? chad : `` as they began to eat , jamie smiled and said to her , ' brother , there 's no way you 're getting any of my pancakes today , jack . `` the end . yeah ? yeah , i do n't know about that book either . you do n't have any idea what 's going on , do you ? you know , promised your mom that i was gon na do everything i could to make sure that you were always safe . you grew up and had an amazing life . yeah . that nothing was ever gon na happen to you . i 'm gon na do everything in my power to make sure of it . i love you . hey . hey . i love you . andré : i 've been waiting for you . kate : you have to stop doing that . andré : what ? oh , i 'm sorry . i 've just been waiting for you so you can fill me in on [ inaudible ] place with that mystery meeting . kate : well , it 's late . and i 'm exhausted . andré : oh , you should go to sleep . but fill me in first . kate : it really does n't concern you . andré : [ laughs ] and since when has that stopped you from spilling the beans ? kate : good night , andré . andré : well , well , well . something 's going on . and i 'm sure i 'm gon na find out what it is very soon . john : have any trouble convincing kate and chad ? steve : well , the kate part was a little like pulling teeth . kayla : but they came around . what about you guys with nicole and deimos ? marlena : deimos does n't want her in . kayla : ah . something tells me she did n't listen . john : brady and theresa are on board . i just got off the phone with roman , who 's gon na fill in hope and rafe . marlena : okay . well , then , everybody 's in . john : just to reset . once we have xander and weston out of the way ... steve : you and i focus on orpheus . john : who doc considers the most dangerous of all . marlena : please remember that he blames you for losing the loves of his life . please do n't let him take away mine . john : not a chance , baby . steve : it 's almost over , sweetness . john : all right . we 're all set . let 's do it . | marlena talked to john , steve , kayla , and joey about the prisoners ' personalities . she thought that knowing how they are would give them an advantage against the prisoners . lucas wanted kate to stay at the dimera mansion to stay away from clyde . kate thought she was safe at the martin house with andre . chad and andre talked about who was in charge of dimera enterprises . marlena gave everyone the prisoners ' profiles to study . joey remembered the prisoners mentioning going to a warehouse after claire escaped . steve wanted to go after them , but john did n't think it was a good idea at first . marlena wanted to work together on it . joey remembered the prisoners talking to other people on the phone about destroying salem . |

[ cell phone beeps ] brady : bitch cost me my son . i 'm over it , done with her . kristen : that is a good answer . brady : i thought you 'd like that one . kristen : mm . you miss your , uh ... son , tate , do n't you ? brady : mm , every day . every minute , every second , i miss him . kristen : w -- [ sighs ] what if i had a way to , uh , make up for all the questionable things i 've done to you ? brady : [ scoffs ] really ? kristen : oh .

eli : we did n't want to get your hopes up . doug : should n't i be kept in a loop about my own wife ? lani : yes , absolutely you should . doug : well , then tell me the truth , damn it . eli : kayla said -- kayla said that stefan is brain dead and that he has no chance of recovery . she advised us not to say anything to you because she did n't want to get your hopes up , but she thinks that stefan might be a possible donor for julie . doug : that would be a miracle . when the thing about kate went sour , i thought we would never , ever have another chance . eli : we don't . doug : what do you mean ? lani : eli just came back from speaking with gabi , and she said no . doug : but there must be something else we can do . eli : i wish to god there was , but gabi 's in charge of all the medical decisions for stefan , and she made it very clear that her decision was final . gabi : as painful as this is , i got ta do the right thing . so i got ta -- i got ta disconnect stefan from these machines so that i can make plans to give him a proper burial . i 'm need to go talk to kayla . i need to do that , but i do n't -- i do n't want to leave him alone , so could you just stay with him a few minutes , please ?

she is pregnant with my child . maggie : your grandfather told me . victor : and also told her that you were an idiot . brady : it 's a high - risk pregnancy , which means she ca n't be left on her own . kristen : right , and earlier today i -- i almost fainted , and if brady had n't been there , i do n't -- brady : the bottom line is that she needs constant care and supervision to make sure nothing goes wrong . victor : we 're way past wrong . maggie : victor , please . it 's obvious brady is doing what any good father would do . he 's thinking about the wellbeing of his baby . victor : yeah , he 's thinking all right , but not with his brain . my weak , foolish grandson is once again letting this harpy take advantage of him . brady : do you have any idea what she was planning to do if i had n't moved her in here ? she was planning to have wilhelm rolf be her doctor and her roommate . maggie : no . brady : yes . maggie : oh . brady : god knows what that sadistic freak would end up doing to my child . hope : what the hell did you inject me with ?

brady : well , as you can see , i do n't have much choice about her proximity to my kid . victor : if it is your kid . kristen : of course it is . since i came back to salem , i have n't made love to anyone but brady . maggie : that 's more than we need to know . kristen : i 'm just saying there 's no chance anyone other than brady is the father . victor : i thought she was gon na have a paternity test . brady : we have to wait until the end of the first trimester . until then , i have reason to believe that she 's telling me the truth . victor : and you had reason to believe she was nicole walker too . brady : all right , i 'm not doing this again with you , grandfather , i won't . maggie : brady is right . you need to stop fighting . it 's not good for anyone , especially the baby that kristen is carrying . kristen : thank you , maggie . i have been advised to avoid stress . victor : maybe you ought to think about cutting back on the psychotic rampages . just a thought . kristen : look , i am well aware that no one wants me here , and not in a million years did i think i would be here , but this pregnancy , it took me completely by surprise . victor : oh , please , you 've been trying to procreate by any means necessary for years . kristen : yes , yes , and all my attempts have failed , and still back in asheville , i asked rolf to give me fertility treatments knowing that the odds of me conceiving a baby were terrible at best . but by some miracle i beat those odds , but it still is going to be difficult for me to carry to term , so i need someone to help me , someone to -- to take care of me . maggie : but rolf of all people ? kristen : what choice do i have , maggie ? huh ? i mean , brady made it very clear that he did n't want to be with me , and i do n't have any family left . i have no friends . for all his flaws , at least rolf is n't a stranger . victor : oh , please . hire a baby nurse . i 'll hire one for you . brady : i do n't want that . grandfather , i need to have her close because i want to oversee everything . victor : wake up , brady . you 're playing right into her hands . i told you she was gon na use this baby to reel you in again . brady : and i told you that i 'm not gon na let that happen . this arrangement , it 's just temporary , only for the duration of the pregnancy so i can make sure that my child is safe , okay ? i have told kristen nothing is going to happen between the two of us . she is very well aware of that , but i 'm tired of explaining myself , i do n't need to anymore . i 'm gon na show her to her room . victor : take one more step , and you 're fired . [ tens music ] eli : doug , it kills me to disappoint you like this . i knew it was too soon to talk to gabi , but i also knew how little time julie had left . i had to try . doug : well , i 'm grateful that you did , eli . eli : no , i wanted to bring everyone good news , but gabi just -- she just shut me down . i do n't know . maybe she feels like putting stefan in the ground is the only way that she can find closure . lani : gabi can still have closure , but maybe she just wants stefan to be whole , you know ? we all keep assuming that his heart just living on is gon na make her happy , but maybe it wouldn't . eli : especially if it 's living on inside of julie . doug : did gabi say that ? did she refuse to do this because of her history with julie ? eli : she ca n't get past the bad blood between them . you know , i thought that because i used to be close to her and we had a history , that i 'd be able to get through to her . doug , i 'm sorry . i feel horrible . gabi : i need to talk to kayla . sonny : okay , but we need to ask you something . gabi : okay , so ask . will : okay , um ... we understand how you feel , but we 're -- we 're hoping that you would maybe consider possibly donating stefan 's heart to -- gabi : are you serious ? oh , my god , julie , julie , julie ! okay , hold on a second . what about -- what about me , okay ? what about my feelings and what my husband has been through ? do you guys think that he 's just a piece of meat that you can carve up ? sonny : no , that is not how we feel . gabi : do not lie to me , sonny , okay ? i know that you hate him . everybody hates him . you know , everybody thinks that he 's this -- this monster whose life is not worth saving , but that is not true , okay ? he 's -- he 's a kind , loving man , okay ? did you know that he -- he tried to save his mom , okay ? sonny : he was shot protecting vivian . gabi : he took a bullet for that bitch , and now she disappeared , and she does n't even care ! will : vivian is gon na pay for what she did , gabi . i promise you . gabi : what about lani , huh ? that tramp wants me to forgive her , okay ? you know that ? and then eli wants me to just allow these people to -- to cut open his chest , take his heart out , and give it to julie . and i thought you two were supposed to be on my side ! sonny : we are on your side . will : we are , gabi , we 're not trying -- listen , we 're not trying to pressure you . gabi : of course you 're trying to pressure me ! that is exactly what you 're doing , and that 's probably because hope and doug and ciara , they 're putting pressure on you , right ? so what , eli struck out , and then you 're next ? is that what it is ? will : no , no , gabi , no . gabi : liar , liar , both of you , that 's exactly what you 're doing ! you 're team julie . i ca n't believe this . sonny : no , no , please . gabi , we love you . we know much you 're hurting right now . will : gabi , this -- this is -- this is it for julie . this is her last chance . gabi : i do n't care about julie , you know ? the answer is no . i do n't even think i could do this for anybody , especially julie . are you kidding me ? she 's -- she still hates me for what i did to nick , okay ? she thinks i left her there to die . will : gabi , you apologized for that . gabi : i mean , i tried , but she does n't care . she does n't care , and she never will . she 's not gon na have stefan 's heart , okay ? will : okay . but i want you to understand that that means there are gon na be two funerals tomorrow , one for stefan , one for julie . gabi , if you let her die , there 's no going back . rolf : did you really think i would forget what you did to the great stefano dimera ? you shot him in cold blood even though he was innocent of torturing your precious bo . just like everyone else in this town , you hated him , and then you took your unjustified revenge and got away with it ! but ultimately the phoenix outwitted you . he rose from the ashes once again , but you , you , hope brady , might not be so lucky . i 've been saying , i 'm fine . brady : you ca n't be serious . victor : i 'm as serious as julie williams ' heart attack . maggie : victor . brady : you would fire me over this ? i have titan at the top of its game right now , and you would undo all of that to -- to what , punish me ? i do n't believe that you would do that . victor : you better believe it . you take that woman upstairs , and you 're out on your ass . so what 's it gon na be ? gabi : i 'm about to move my husband from this bed to a grave , and -- and you 're -- you 're laying a guilt trip on me ? will : no , that 's not -- no , we 're not . of course we 're not . sonny : all we 're saying is that this decision is permanent , okay ? you ca n't reverse it . gabi : i know that . it does not change the way i feel . sonny : it 's just that we taught our daughter the importance of generosity and compassion . will : that 's right . one day ari is going to find out that you could have saved julie 's life and you refused . how -- how do you think that 's gon na make her feel ? gabi : are you using my daughter against me ? will : no . gabi , i 'm not . all i 'm saying is we 're looking ahead , and we understand that you ca n't right now because of how much pain you 're in . gabi : no , you 're right . we have raised ariana to be kind and giving . she has the sweetest , most forgiving soul , but i don't . sonny : that is not true . gabi : no , it is . i have been vicious and vengeful . i 've taken risks that could easily separate me from my daughter again . will : have you made mistakes ? gabi : mm - hmm . will : yes , we all have . gabi , you 're a good mother . ari is the way she is because of you . gabi : you 're just saying that because you want something from me . you 're sucking up to me . sonny : no , no , gabi , no . this is your decision to make , and whatever decision you make , we 're going to respect it . we just do n't want you to wake up a month from now or a year from now filled with regret . rolf : your dear cousin , jennifer horton , was so grateful to me for agreeing to restore jack deveraux 's memories that the two of them secured this lab for me so i could work on all my pet projects . little did they know that you are one of my very favorite pets . who 's a good girl ? who 's a good girl ? [ laughing ] [ tense music ] did you know that every single flush maggie : victor does n't mean it , brady . he was just speaking out of the heat of the moment . victor : i mean every damn word . brady : you 're asking me to choose between my career and my unborn child ? victor : and i have n't got all day . brady : then you can find yourself another ceo . victor : you 'll regret it . brady : the hell i will . come on . gabi : i can live with regret . i already do . sonny : you say that now , but your feelings can change . gabi : you asked . i answered . now drop it . will : okay . okay , i -- i 'm sorry . i got ta say this one more time . if you take stefan off of these machines , that 's it . gabi , there 's no coming back from that . gabi : you know , you 're telling me that you 're not putting pressure on me , but you totally are , you know ? it 's already hard enough to deal with this without everybody ganging up on me , okay ? will : okay , okay , okay . gabi , we -- we 're sorry . we 're done . sonny : and whatever you decide , it 's not gon na change how we feel about you , okay ? will : gabi , i love you . we love you , no matter what .

[ gentle music ] gabi : this is so unfair . all those other people got to have a miracle . they got to come back to the people that they love . so why not you ? how am i supposed to say goodbye ? you 've made me happier than i 've been in my entire life . you know everything about me , the good , the bad , how i tried to destroy you , and you still loved me anyway . i know you -- that you were the only person that you 'd never judge me , you know , for telling julie 's family to go straight to hell .

[ country music ] gabi : so have you had a chance to talk to sonny ? paul : yeah , i spoke with him yesterday after joey got rescued , but only for a couple of minutes , and now he 's not returning my calls . gabi : yeah , we 've had spotty service , but he 's also feeling overwhelmed with all the family responsibilities . he 's got a lot on his mind , a lot he 's worried about . paul : yeah , like the kiriakis shootout debacle at the pier ? gabi : yeah , i overheard chad talking about that . was sonny involved in that ? paul : he was , and he 's upset with chad for moving into the kiriakis territory . gabi : you know , now is not the time for friends to be fighting . paul : no , i agree , but i do n't know what to do about it . gabi : you know what ? maybe i do . xander : this town is crawling with cops and feds . clyde : well , just another reason for us to split up . you ever heard of divide and conquer ? xander : we said we 'd be a team . clyde : [ scoffs ] and every time the three of us put our heads together , they nearly get blown off , so i 'm gon na take my chances solo , and who knows ? maybe i 'll create enough of a diversion to help you two losers out . i 'm gon na steal some baby stuff for thomas , and i 'm gon na grab that sweet boy , who i know has been missing his daddy something awful . now , say what you will about ben . he was a good daddy to his son , which says a lot about a man , you know ? hell , he was so happy when he found out that baby was coming . well , you know , i -- i know i did something right . orpheus : oh , i would n't be so sure about that -- your having done something right , that is . clyde : do n't you get all snide with me about that . not about that . orpheus : sensitive subject , is it ? [ gun clicks ] [ suspenseful music ] clyde : my son and my grandson mean the world to me . everything that i do is to help them out , is to better their life . orpheus : well , giving your son ben a better life should n't be that tricky , given that he 's in prison for murder . nowhere to go but up , really . clyde : you shut the hell up . orpheus : i 'm just saying -- clyde : i 'm saying you shut up . orpheus : i can -- i can picture you now , shooting your way into the dimera compound , pistol in one hand and disposable nappies in the other . clyde : yeah , it 's not gon na be a problem . my boy got past them and their guards , and i will too . orpheus : i guess i need to remind you again , clyde . your boy ended up in a federal penitentiary . i do n't want you getting caught and leading the police back here . clyde : well , i do n't give a damn what you want . y'all take care now , you hear ? chad : what clyde wants most is thomas , so he 's gon na be headed here at some point . lucas : and that can happen at any time ; you said yourself . i mean , they 're desperate now . adrienne : but you have all this security . chad : yeah , and they 're on high alert , but they 've been known to fail , and clyde is clever , so if he uses that `` good old boy `` routine and somehow sneaks past the guards or , god forbid , finds the tunnels , he 's gon na kill anybody in his way , especially me . lucas : just proves how sick he really is . chad : if he gets to me , i ... you two are the only people thomas has . adrienne : we 'll take care of him . lucas : yeah , we 'll guard him with our lives . chad : i know what i 'm asking . he 's not your son . lucas : it 's my -- my late niece 's son 's family , man . it 's the same thing . adrienne : that 's right . he 's got jennifer , jj , and us . chad : you guys are amazing . thank you . now , i do n't know what 's gon na happen , but it 's probably gon na be soon . you have four sons to think of . you have a daughter , and it 's probably gon na go down today . lucas : yeah , today makes one year since will died . chad : if you need to back out -- lucas : no , no , i 'm good . i 'm good . i can help . getting even with ben weston 's old man would make the day a little bit easier for me . adrienne : and we 're not leaving you alone in this house with thomas , and that 's all i 've got to say about that . lucas : yeah , i would n't argue with this one . she 's a real force of nature . adrienne : [ chuckles ] chad : okay , here 's the plan . my belly pain and constipation ?

[ suspenseful music ] andré : are you going to a baby shower , clyde ? i did n't think you 'd be the type . clyde : who the hell are you , and how do you know my name ? andré : everybody knows your name . you 're in the paper . well , you were in the paper when we had a paper , before your lot decided to cut the power to the printing press . we could n't even use our electronic toy . clyde : who are you ? andré : i 'm andré dimera . clyde : dimera ? you mean there 's another one of you ? andré : oh , yeah , my father was quite the ladies ' man . clyde : your father was a murderin ' son of a bitch , and i 'm betting the only way he got a woman into bed -- andré : do n't say another word about my father . clyde : oh . [ laughs ] did n't mean to hurt your feelings . i apologize for speaking ill of the dead , so let me restrict my comments to the dimeras that are alive and kicking . i do n't discriminate . i hate every one of you . andré : yeah , well , i suppose i understand , but i 'm quite the mellow fellow . zen , if you will . i do n't allow people 's dislikes and likes worry me . it 's a waste of time and energy . clyde : no , no , no . i said hatred . that 's a whole different animal than dislike . andré : yeah , well , that 's your choice . clyde : what are you doing here ? andré : oh , i come here to think , meditate , count my blessings . clyde : your blessings ? oh , you got blessings , do you ? andré : oh , yeah , i 'm a very lucky fellow , clyde , and i hope to be even luckier . clyde : well , you better -- andré : i had no idea -- wait there . i did n't know you were here . clyde : now , that 's a load of bull , 'cause i 've been running circles around the cops and the fbi , and all of a sudden you pop up knowing who i am ? who are you working for ? andré : well , maybe i just have magical powers . clyde : well , they 'd best be damn magical , 'cause i 'm real close to throwing your ass into that river . andré : oh , you would n't want to do that ... because the truth of the matter is , i sought you out because i have a business proposition . clyde : you do ? [ chuckles ] well , i am an old hand at doing business with dimeras , hmm ? so this better be good . go ahead and talk business . andré : hmm . [ instrumental music ] hope : i need help . jennifer : okay . what 's going on ? is it about the manhunt , or -- hope : no , no , no , no , see , that 's -- that 's the same . i 'm here on break right now . jennifer : is it personal ? is it something about you and rafe ? hope : no , no . it 's something much bigger than that , and i 'm going crazy . i 'm going crazy , out of my mind trying -- trying to figure out how the hell i 'm gon na deal with this . jennifer : what is going on ? tell me . hope : i ... the person ... the person who killed stefano is n't the man who confessed . it 's me . i killed stefano . i shot him dead in his own house , and then i covered it up , and now aiden knows about it . jennifer : wait . wait , aiden , how ? hope : oh , my god . he suspected something , and , my god , he played me . he totally played me . he set me up . he recorded a conversation , a private conversation that i thought i was having . aiden : i want you to admit that you killed stefano . hope : how many times do i have to tell you ? i did n't kill stefano . aiden , i did n't kill stefano . i think i did that , and it was wrong . i lost it . i snapped . i shot stefano , and then i dragged you into the cover - up . aiden : you want to talk about an investigation ? the cable news channels would love a story like this , especially when the fact comes out that roman , who 's your brother - in - law , a police commissioner , helped you cover it up , send an innocent man to prison for a crime that you committed . hope : andré is hardly innocent . aiden : oh , oh , i see , so andré 's the bad man , and you 're not . so tell me , what did roman say , hmm ? who cares if he goes to prison for a crime that he did n't commit , hmm ? is that what passes for justice here in salem ? what about rafe ? rafe . just think about what 'll happen to him when it comes out that he 's the one that helped you move stefano 's body . his life will be destroyed . so , hope , you maybe do n't want to save yourself . do you really want to destroy rafe and roman 's lives ? hope : and in that conversation , i admitted to killing stefano , and now he 's blackmailing me . jennifer : i -- i do n't -- i do n't know what to say . hope : what are you gon na say ? what does some -- oh , my god , what is ... i am so in over my head . i have no idea . what -- what am i -- what am i gon na do ? jennifer : hey , just wait . you said that aiden was trying to blackmail you . what does he want ? i mean , does he want money ? hope : what do you think he wants ? what do you think -- he wants me , me to love him , to love him ! jennifer : no . that is impossible , hope . no . hope : that 's what i keep telling him . he 's not rational . if i do n't do what he wants , he could destroy ... he could destroy a lot of lives . chad : our families may be messed up , but they 're still our families . paul : i know sonny a lot better than i know you , but one thing that i can see about you is that you try and do the right thing . gabi : most of the time . paul : and -- and sonny , i 'm -- he 's got this built - in thing about him where injustice drives him nuts . you 're trying to do the right thing for your family . sonny thinks that what you 're doing to his family 's unjust . now , have i -- have i got this right ? sonny : yeah , pretty much . gabi : you know , after i left those messages , i found this in my purse . you guys remember ? chad : is that our old tbd ness card ? gabi : yes . sonny : you saved it ? gabi : i remember when you guys opened that place , and , you know , you put up the money . chad : well , sonny had the experience . gabi : the point is , you trusted each other , and it worked . please do n't let the pressure of this sink a wonderful friendship . [ soft acoustic guitar ] chad : gabi 's right . i need all the friends i can get right now . i 've been making the wrong decisions . i have clyde weston trying to take my son , and i 'm scared . sorry . sonny : it 's gon na be all right . we got you . clyde : now , you said you had a business proposition for me , but you 're still not talking . andré : because i find it counterproductive to talk at gunpoint . clyde : and since your name is dimera , see , i have to wonder . maybe you 're lying about that proposition . maybe you 're just trying to keep me here for some reason , which really makes me want to pull this trigger and dump you in the river . andré : oh , no , you do n't want to do that , 'cause you 'd be missing out on a , oh , just wonderful opportunity , and let 's face it , clyde , opportunities for you right now are in short supply . so why do n't you put that gun down ? clyde : why do n't you stop trying my patience ? andré : i 'm not here for a confrontation . i came here to make an offer . now , you can shoot me if you want , but it 'd be more advantageous for you if you listened to what i have to say . ca n't see it . ca n't taste it . [ dramatic piano music ] hope : [ sobs ] jennifer : hope , can you tell me how this happened ? hope : i was just -- i was out of my mind with grief . i did n't know what to do . then they found evidence that seemed to point to stefano . i was convinced . i was positive that -- that he was responsible for having bo kidnapped and tortured . jennifer : hope , i 'm so sorry . hope : oh , god , what am i gon na do ? oh , my god . i have to handle this the right way . jennifer : what ? no . you are not gon na do what aiden is asking you to . hope : no , of course not . i -- he wants me to move to oregon with him . jennifer : why ? hope : because that 's where chase is . jennifer : after what chase did to ciara ? hope : [ crying ] he hopes that she moves with us . jennifer : this is crazy . she would never do that . you would -- you would never ask her to do that . hope : see ? there 's no right answer here . what am i gon na do ? jennifer : okay , first , it 's gon na be okay . it 's gon na be all right . we 're gon na think of something , okay ? hope : okay . okay . okay . adrienne : shoot . lucas : whoa . why -- whoa , why shoot ? why -- what 's that ? adrienne : well , i did n't -- i did n't know you were in here . lucas : who were you talking to ? adrienne : you know , if you 're gon na get up in my business all the time , we may have problems . lucas : oh , okay . adrienne : um , i just -- i had some blood work done , and i was supposed to call the lab today and get the results , but with the hospital on lockdown , i just got the recording . lucas : what kind of blood work ? adrienne : oh , it 's just routine . lucas : so why do n't you tell me , then ? adrienne : you 're not gon na give up , are you ? lucas : no . adrienne : no . um , you know i have the breast cancer mutation gene . lucas : yeah . adrienne : well , every three months i have to have my blood tested to see if there are elevated levels of something called ca-125 . it 's a tumor marker number . lucas : and if there 's a lot of that in your blood , what ? adrienne : no -- well , it could mean that i have a tumor , but there are a lot of benign conditions that can elevate it as well , so .... lucas : so you have to go through this , like , every three months ? adrienne : well , if i have breast cancer or ovarian cancer , i want to know pretty fast . lucas : well , yeah , i know that . i know . it 's just -- adrienne : and besides , if cancer wants to kill me , it 's gon na get in line behind clyde weston , right ? lucas : that man does n't have a prayer against you . you know that , right ? adrienne : yeah . [ romantic music ] clyde : all right , i 'm listening . andré : i 'll make this brief . [ suspenseful music ] i want control of the family business . i 'm the oldest surviving son . it 's my birthright , and the only way i can gain control of the family business is to make sure that chad meets an early demise . clyde : so why do n't you kill him ? andré : right , you -- you want me to kill my own flesh and blood ? clyde : well , he is in the way . andré : we dimeras , we do n't slaughter one another . besides , it 'd be impossible to run a business empire from prison . clyde : then do n't -- do n't get caught . andré : well , when i get somebody that i know is just as capable of doing the dirty work for me -- [ both laughing ] clyde : i see . so what 's in the deal for me ? andré : well , i saw you earlier , stuffing the bag with some children 's clothing . it 's for the brat , right ? i can get that for you . clyde : well , you know , the thought of wasting chad and grabbing my little grandbaby does kind of make the mouth water , but -- tell you the truth , i have yet to come up with the perfect plan . andré : well , why do n't you let me take care of that ? clyde : and you would do what ? march me up to the front door ? i know that house is armed to the ceiling . i 'd wind up dead or back in prison . andré : [ laughs ] not if you know the right person who knows the chink in all that armor . chad : thank you for getting sonny and i back together . i hate being on the outs with him , and i -- i did n't know what to do about it . nice work . gabi : well , i was n't being your employee , moron . i was being your friend and sonny 's . chad : i know , and i need all the friends i can get right now , especially you . gabi : what -- what are you talking about ? chad : this -- this whole situation , it 's got to end . gabi : right , yeah , i agree . chad : it 's gon na happen today . gabi : what 's gon na happen today ? chad : yeah , i 'll tell you everything . i 'm gon na need your help . [ dramatic music ] andré : so now that 's everything , and do you understand how fortunate you are that you crossed my path ? clyde : i most certainly do . andré : and you know exactly what you have to do ? but i tell you , you know , the beauty in doing it my way is that there 's no risk for you . clyde : hmm . andré : well , almost no risk . nothing comes easy in life , right ? clyde : and once you 're in control of all that money , you will remember what i did for you , wo n't you ? andré : oh , of course . clyde : 'cause i 'm gon na help ben raise his son once i get him out of prison . andré : then you have to stop wasting time . stop squandering opportunities . go get what it is you came for , clyde . clyde : i am gon na have my grandson in my arms before the end of this day .

brady : this deal could go either way . it 's not about the numbers either . it 's about leadership at titan . there 's too much in - continuity . people do n't like it , they 're getting nervous , and it 's bad for the bottom line . victor : we 've already been over this , brady . i 'm not going to make any decisions about who runs titan until the time is right for both of you . brady : look , i 'm genuinely sorry for what sonny is going through . i ca n't imagine what he 's going through , with ben weston coming and ruining his wedding , claiming that will is alive , what that 's doing to his head . ca n't imagine , but that 's all the more reason to keep me in charge , because sonny has to deal with his personal issues right now . victor : seems that sonny is not the only one with personal issues . i see nicole did n't come home last night . nicole : so last night was n't a dream ? eric : no , it was the most incredible night of my life . nicole : mine too . but now it 's morning , and ... it 's back to the real world . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] eric : i 've never felt for anyone the way that i feel for you . but if you say this can never happen again , i 'll understand . nicole : is that what you want ?

nicole just went to chicago to help her brother brandon out . victor : is that why chloe showed up at midnight last night with holly ? brady : what , are you spying on me ? victor : just being observant . brady : well , then , you should know that ... nicole just asked chloe to babysit , that was it . victor : sounds fishy to me . brady : why the hell are you so hard on nicole ? victor : because i know her . brady : i know her too . and we 're in love . she 's committed to me . she 's committed to holly and tate and our whole family . she 's committed to family , grandfather . that 's why i was happy that she could go and help her brother brandon out when he needed her . victor : who are you trying to convince ? me ? or yourself ? roman : clyde is a dangerous man . he tried to kill kate more than once . whose bad idea was it for her to confront him ? marlena : sonny asked her to do it . but it really was kate 's decision . roman : oh , of course it was . that woman . marlena : yeah . uh , that woman was somebody you kissed recently , am i right ? roman : well , yeah , all of salem knows that , thanks to andre 's freak show of a news conference . marlena : so do you have some feelings for her ? roman : it was ... one kiss . misunderstanding . marlena : really is okay , you know . i mean , it is n't like the two of you do n't have a little history . roman : kate is married to andre . marlena : and we both know that 's not a real marriage . roman : well , real or not , kate 's not available . kate : hopefully , this wo n't take too long . no funny stuff . clyde : [ chuckles ] still gorgeous . kate : still a murderous , low - life , lying piece of psycho trash . clyde : nice to see you have n't lost that mouth either . hey , cool it . clyde : it 's all right . she and i go way back . do n't we , kate ? so i 'm guessing that you did n't come all the way out here just 'cause you missed me so much . kate : you tried to kill me , clyde . you put a bullet in abe . you tried to kidnap thomas . clyde : you mean colin ? yeah . how is the little boy ? kate : you know , i 'm not here to update you on your victims . clyde : then why the hell are you here ? kate : it 's about ben . clyde : what about ben ? kate : he escaped from bayview . clyde : he wh ... he escaped ? kate : oh . you did n't know that ? clyde : well , how the hell would i know something like that ? kate : well , that 's exactly what i 'm here to find out . come on dad ! adrienne : i knew someone would figure it out ! that crazy bonnie locked me up in here and stole my life ! hattie : i ca n't breathe ! gah ! adrienne : what ? my god , you 're a prisoner too ? hattie : wow . ca n't get a thing past you , girl . adrienne : but i do n't unders ... oh , my god . oh , marlena . did that hattie adams do to you what bonnie lockhart did to me ?

sheila : i prefer `` money buys happiness . `` bonnie : that 's not how it goes . sheila , i swear to you . the dirt i have on victor will buy you and i more happy than we could ever spend . sheila : or it 's just more of you blowing smoke . bonnie : i overheard him on the phone . he plotted to kill his brother . now , does that sound like he 's blowing smoke ? sheila : so that 's what you been sitting on ? bonnie : mm - hmm . sheila : so the old man ordered a hit . well , i did n't think he had it in him . bonnie : yeah , well , now i got ta figure out how to hit gold with it . sheila : well , i suggest you figure it out quick , 'cause if i do n't see my gold soon , i 'm gon na make your scheme go boom . brady : what is it with you ? one minute , you 're telling me that i 've won because eric 's gone . now you 're trying to make me feel insecure about it . victor : i just want you to keep your eyes wide open . brady : because you hate nicole , right ? victor : because i do n't want to see you get hurt . brady : how can i get hurt ? how can i get hurt ? it 's not gon na happen . eric is gone . he 's out of town . victor : eric is gone , and all of a sudden , nicole has a personal emergency and ca n't make it home . brady : all right , just say ... you think that she spent the night with eric , right ? nicole : i ca n't even stand the thought of hurting brady , but i have to tell him ... but how do i find the words ? eric : i 've hurt my brother so many times . and he 's forgiven me so much . nicole : i 'm not gon na lie to him . he deserves to know the truth . i owe him that . what do i say , eric ? how do i tell brady you 're the man i love ? it 'll break his heart . kate : so , abigail and chad ... and paul and sonny were at the altar , and ben comes waltzing in and puts a stop to everything . clyde : [ chuckles ] good to know he 's got his old man 's knack for shaking things up . kate : he definitely does . because he told sonny that he could n't marry paul because he was still married to will . and that will was still alive . clyde : you do n't say . kate : you do n't know anything about that ? clyde : well ... you know , they say my son is certifiable . so anything that he says probably should n't be held up to the light of reality . kate : because he mentioned that you 're the one who told him that will is still alive . clyde : well , how could i pay him a visit when i 'm a prisoner ? kate : hmm . well ... we figure that you paid your little visit when you were terrorizing salem with orpheus and xander . so i want to know , why did you tell ben that the man he killed is still alive ? bonnie : sheila , relax . i play this right , you get your money . sheila : what are you waiting for ? go in there and tell him what you know , hit him hard , and give him half . bonnie : no , no , i got ta explore my options here . sheila : there 's only one other option . from where i 'm standing , blackmail looks a hell of a lot easier than shacking up with that old bag of bones . especially because it does n't look like he 's into what you 're offering . bonnie : all right , look , look . i 've just got ta suss out how to play this right . now , i straight - up go to victor with what i 've got , it could totally backfire on me , and then my butt is back behind bars , and there 's no way in hell that that 's gon na happen again . i 've got it . you lower the boom on the old man . brady : nicole 's helping her brother out there , and you spin it that she 's cheating on me ? victor : i did n't say that . if i were you , i would make sure that she 's not pulling a fast one . brady : stop , do n't , do n't -- do n't ! she 's devoted to me . have you not been here ? have you not seen how devoted she is to her family ? to tate ? to holly ? to me ? she 's the mother she 's always wanted to be . we are a family , and i would appreciate it if you 'd have a little faith in her . victor : i do n't care how many good deeds she does or how many lullabies she sings to holly . nicole walker will always be nicole walker . brady : until she 's nicole black . victor : you 've certainly done a lot for this woman . brady : she 's grateful to me . victor : not the same as love . brady : no , we , we ... we 've shared too much together . we are ... we 're happy people together . she would never betray me . she would n't do it . victor : you 're a good person , brady , sometimes too good . i 'd hate to think that nicole would take advantage of that . [ cymbal shimmering ] eric : the rain has cleared . that is the good news . nicole : after i finish this cup of coffee , i 'm gon na head back to salem and talk to brady . eric : and then what ? nicole : i do n't think living in salem is an option . and like you said , it 's a small town , and we will run into brady . and that would be cruel , and i do n't want to hurt him . eric : do n't want to see him hurt anymore . maybe chicago . new york . nicole : how about right here ? you know , it 's cozy . it 's so beautiful . eric : seriously ? nicole : mm - hmm . eric : i do n't see you as a country girl . nicole : but you love it . and i love you . and i think holly would love it too . next door , i saw a jungle gym and some toys . you know what that means . instant friends .

[ dark , tense music ] eric : you would n't have stabbed deimos if you had n't been drugged . you are not a killer . nicole : no , i 'm not a killer . and no matter how ... terrible deimos was to me i still have to live with the guilt of his murder every day . eric : then why would you bring up the idea of killing xander ? nicole : because i 'm desperate , eric . you have no idea what it 's been like the past few months here -- trapped , alone , scared that if i do something wrong , he 'll send me to jail with that confession . eric : killing him 's not the answer . nicole : then what is ? how else am i gon na be free ? how else am i gon na be with you ? eric : i do n't know . i do n't know yet .

[ dramatic chords ] eric : ca n't believe how big she 's gotten . nicole : well , it 's been almost a year . eric : i guess in my head she was still that little girl that i said good - bye to . nicole : yeah . yeah , holly , this is ... my friend eric . he 's a very good guy , and he helped rescue us the last time we needed help . eric : wow . holly , you sure are the prettiest thing i 've ever seen . [ nicole chuckles ] you look just like your mother . nicole : yes . and he 's very smooth .

[ laughs , inhales ] [ blows out ] stefan : well , now you know . sami : so where is he ? where is ej ? [ music intensifies ] eric : she 's such a sweet little girl . nicole : she liked you . i could tell . [ laughs ] eric : well , i kinda have a way with women under three and all . nicole : oh , yeah ? [ eric laughs ] she is usually pretty shy , but ... i think she could feel how much she means to you . eric : you know i love her . i still do ... since the minute she came into my life . much as i still love you . [ soft , emotional music ] [ whispering ] god , i miss this . and i miss the idea of the life i thought we were gon na have together . nicole : i miss it too . and i ... eric : what is it ? nicole : [ exhales ] xander 's never gon na let me go . not as long as he has that recording . but eric , you ... you could keep holly safe . you could take her with you . eric : and -- and leave you behind ? nicole : it 's -- it 's the only way . i do n't want her to grow up a prisoner like i did . i mean , i spent almost my whole childhood in fear of my father . i - i don't ... i do n't want that for her . i want better for my little girl . i want holly to have a normal life and a great family , and she 's never gon na have that if she 's trapped here with me . eric : nicole , listen -- nicole : please , eric . will you take my daughter and ... and raise her as your own ? [ tearfully ] please ? [ beeping ] brady : damn it ! it 's not phoenix either . ah , screw this . maybe unscrew this . [ suspenseful music ] what the hell . xander : chill , boss . i was in and out of salem in under an hour , and everything 's under control here . kristen : i need to know that you 're loyal to me and not distracted by nicole . xander : i am loyal to you . you gave me a job when my whole family turned their back on me . i thought victor would be grateful when i saved theresa from that drug lord in mexico , but no ... he threw me out on my ass , again . kristen : when i heard about that , i had a feeling that you would be happy to work for one of your uncle 's rivals . xander : and have i not delivered ? i kept your project safe . even nicole has no idea what i 'm doing here . kristen : no , you 've accomplished what i 've asked you . but we ca n't get sloppy . our work here is not done , and until it is , we have to protect this project with our lives . sami : so ... where is ej ? stefan : he 's ... recovering ... in a private facility . sami : ' kay . where is this facility ? do you have a -- do you have an address ? stefan : whoa , ho - hold on . need i remind you of our deal ? half of the money before i talked , half of the money after ? sami : yeah , but you 're not done talking -- you have to tell me where to find my husband . stefan : wire the rest of the money into my account , and i 'll tell you exactly where he is . sami : wait a second -- that is not our deal . stefan : yeah , well , you know , deals evolve , and this is ... what 's on the table now . take it or leave it . roman : can you believe that crazy woman came to the pub ? kayla : yeah , of course i can believe it . she 's `` crazy `` about you . and brady 's cheeseburger and fries , apparently . roman : yeah , well , she 's back now , and hopefully , she will ... remain loyal to her new husband . kayla : [ sighs ] poor john . this on top of everything else . to have hattie adams as his lawfully wedded wife ? oy . roman : yeah , well , hopefully we can get that marriage annulled very soon . kayla : and she 'll be out of our lives for good . roman : i hope you know how proud i am of you . kayla : [ small laugh ] me ? why ? roman : yeah , you . for being so brave and for giving yourself so completely to helping marlena even though ... you 're going through a tough time yourself . kayla : well ... i feel better now that i talked to steve ... just knowing that he understands now why he was arrested . and like you , i 'm gon na be optimistic that shane will clear his name , and then he can finally just ... come home to me . roman : it 'll happen , kay . soon . eric : i am not leaving you here with xander . nicole : it 's the only way for holly to have the life she deserves . eric : what about the life you deserve ? think about everything you went through to be her mother . are you really willing to let her go ? nicole : it 'll be the hardest thing i 've ever done . but i 'm telling you , you could give her a better life than i could right now . eric : no . nicole : yes . eric : no . i will not do that . nicole : please , eric . eric : you are her mother . she needs you , and you need her . nicole : holly 's already had a tough life . i just want her to be safe and happy . eric : and she will be , and so will you . nicole , we 've already lost so much time together . we 're in this together . and i 'm not leaving you ... ever . sami : you son of a bitch . i should have known that i could n't trust you . stefan : [ laughing ] let 's be honest , sami -- can either one of us really trust the other ? sami : you know , i 'm going to find ej , with or without your help . and if it 's without , i can tell you right now that i will make sure he knows how his half- brother treated me , and he will destroy you . stefan : well , h - how you gon na find him ? sami : i see what you 're doing -- you do n't want me to find ej . is that it ? you 're afraid of what will happen if i do ? stefan : why would i be afraid ? sami : you have a very good reason to be afraid , because he 's twice the man that you are . you 're worried that he 'd try to take the company from you , and you 're already having to deal with chad . stefan : look , if ej dimera decides to come back to the land of the living , i will welcome him with open arms . i mean , i came here to salem to connect with my family . that was the whole reason . sami : really ? stefan : yeah . sami : then why did you start a war with chad ? stefan : well , chad is threatened by me . he tried to push me out . sami : you wan na connect with your family , then prove it . help me find my husband . look ... stefan . i do n't know you very well . so i ca n't expect you to understand . and maybe you 've never had this experience of meeting someone who sees you for who you really are ... all your faults ... and they love you anyway . or maybe they love you because of them . but that 's what i have with ej . he is everything to me . and he is everything to our kids . and when we lost him ... our whole world fell apart . i have spent ... three years searching for him . and if you have any decency , please ... please tell me where to find him . stefan : i do n't know where he is . i would tell you if i did . [ soft emotional music ] wait . i may have something that can help you -- maybe . sami : what ? stefan : when kristen left , uh ... harold found this scratch piece of paper with an address on it . i do n't know if it 's connected . sami : but it might -- i - it might be the address -- stefan : i do n't know . sami : it might be where kristen has ej . [ breathless laugh ] xander : so you 've been in salem this whole time . kristen : mm . mostly in tunnels under the dimera house . xander : oh . did you at least accomplish what you set out to do ? kristen : well ... i did n't come to nashville alone . brady 's with me . xander : brady left eve for you ? kristen : why so surprised ? he has n't gotten over me . xander : he told you that . kristen : yes ! he told me that . xander : and you do n't think maybe he was lying ? kristen : i am not naive . i overheard him talking with his father , and he could have turned me in , but he didn't . he loves me . and i can trust him . [ suspenseful music ] brady : oh , man , that 's a lotta wires . okay . green and blue -- [ exhales ] what the hell ? [ electric sizzle ] today is the day and it 's gon na be great . john : i want you to listen to me . no more field trips . [ hattie laughs ] no more burger runs . you just sit here in your bed , you eat your damn jell - o and keep your big mouth shut ! hattie : is that any way to treat your new wifey ? you 'd better not forget who 's got the leverage here . john : you do n't have as much leverage as you think you have . hattie : oh , really ? really ? what if i just tell them who busted me outta statesville ? huh ? and who set me up here to become marlena ? 'cause if i do , you know what ? it 's over . it 's over for you and for marlena . john : and you ! forget freedom , forget burgers , forget roman . you 'll be dragged back to prison so damn fast , it 'll make your head spin ! hattie : oh , i doubt that you would do that . john : oh , we wo n't do it . because as much as i hate it , you and i are now mr . and mrs . john black , so damn it , start acting like it ! hattie : [ groans ] ohh ... ohh ! nicole : you 're right , i - i -- i do n't know what i was thinking . i could never live without my daughter . eric : and you 'll never have to worry about that either . you know , my ... biggest mistake -- we 've made so many of them when we first fell in love -- and my biggest was ever letting you go . nicole : you ca n't change the past , but i know in my heart , some way ... somehow , we will have a future . eric : we will . but first , we need to find that recording . nicole : okay . eric : i want you to tell me , where does xander go when he leaves this apartment ? nicole : well , he leaves every morning for a -- a few hours . supposedly , he goes to work like he told you . eric : well , starting tomorrow , i 'm gon na follow xander and see where he goes . maybe wherever he spends his day , that 's where the recording is . nicole : okay , but just be careful -- you know how dangerous he is . eric : you do n't need to worry . [ whispers ] promise . 'cause tomorrow , i 'm gon na find out where xander goes . today ... stefan : oh , no , ho ho , hold on . i did what i promised . i told you everything i know about ej . now , you need to wire the rest of that money into my account . sami : i 'll tell you what . after i find ej and he 's alive and well ... then i will give you the rest of your money . stefan : no , no , no , that was n't the deal ! sami : deals evolve . this is the one on the table now . stefan : [ laughs ] sami : take it or leave it . [ lightly suspenseful music ] xander : you have nothing to worry about . this project is very important to me and my future with nicole . i 'm not gon na let you down . kristen : [ softly ] okay . i 'd like to see the patient . will you bring him in , please ? xander : you 're the boss .

[ chuckles ] and then one day , xander showed up at my doorstep . talk about a nightmare . eric : i just hate that you had to go through that . nicole : you wan na know what i hate ? i hate that you thought that i did n't love you anymore . and you did n't know that the last thing i wanted was to leave you . that you did n't know that you had my heart . always . eric : nicole . nicole : but now ... but now ... even though i do n't wan na let go , and i just wan na stay here with you all day and night , we have risked so much already . because if xander chooses this one day to come home early ... please , eric , you have to leave . eric : no . nicole : [ sighs ] lucas : i think she likes you . kate : i have to admit , she does remind me of billy as a baby . [ baby cooing ] actually she looks a little bit like philip . chloe : philip ? yeah , i could see that . lucas : i think she just agreed . chloe : [ laughs ] lucas : well , i could stare at this baby forever , but i think bonnie 's on her way to come pick her up . kate : and take her where ? lucas : i do n't know . i do n't know where bonnie 's staying . it 's okay . it 's all right . kate : well , then how are you gon na go pick her up when you wan na visit with her ? lucas : i do n't know , mom , all right ? we did n't work that out . we do n't have the custody arrangements working . kate : okay , okay , well , you need to do that . you need to do that right away . i mean , what are you gon na do ? every time you wan na visit her , you 're gon na have to give bonnie another get - out - of - jail - free card ? come on , lucas . chloe : i agree with kate . kate : oh , what , did hell just freeze over ? lucas : uh , we all agree , okay ? [ baby cooing ] i know , i 'm sorry . it 's okay . kate : you know , chloe , you 've been uncharacteristically silent about all of this . how do you feel about it ? i mean , having the baby just dropped in your lap . chloe : well , honestly , since nicole left town , i 've really missed holly . so i 'm thrilled to have this little girl in our lives . [ baby crying ] kate : are you going to be thrilled to have bonnie in your life as well ? chloe : well , having bonnie in our lives is not exactly ideal . but it 's not my call , and i stand by lucas , whatever decision he feels is best for his daughter . [ dramatic music ] mimi : my baby 's daddy is irrelevant . all that matters is he 's not lucas . his name is n't on the birth certificate . so unless he decides to take this to court , he 's got no legal claim on my kid . bonnie : neither do i . mimi : well , we 're not gon na give him a chance to find that out . first , you go meet him just like you planned and take my daughter back . nice and easy . bonnie : mmm , i do n't do nice and easy . mimi : you 're right . that would be suspicious . bonnie : mm - hmm . mimi : so you show up and rip my child from his arms . bonnie : mm - hmm . mimi : then once she 's back in mine , i 'll get the hell out of this town . and so will you . in the opposite direction . bonnie : mmm , he 'll think he 's following the baby . mimi : really he 's just off on a wild goose chase . you lead him around the world and back while i raise my daughter in peace . bonnie : so how long does this goose chase last ? mimi : as long as it takes . what do you care ? you got your freedom . bonnie : hold on a second . hold on , are you saying ... are you saying that i 'm never gon na see my grandbaby again ? mimi : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . maggie : i 'm sorry . this could n't have been easy for you to hear . jennifer : no . maggie : you probably look at what i did as a betrayal . jennifer : i do n't , aunt maggie . of course i don't . you were protecting your granddaughter . i 'm the one who broke eric 's trust . and i could n't live with the guilt . so i had to tell him this secret that i was keeping from him . maggie : [ sighs ] it must have been so difficult for you , darling . jennifer : you know , when eric and i first started seeing each other , i really was n't sure if i wanted this relationship to go any further because i really -- i really believed that he still had feelings for nicole . but he said that he did n't , and he said that he had to put those feelings behind him , and -- and he thought that nicole left because she did n't love him enough . [ dramatic music ] but if i 'm being honest with you , deep down i knew that his heart always belonged to nicole . nicole : eric , you have to leave . whether it 's sooner or later , xander is coming back . eric : i do n't care , and i am not leaving you here . nicole : please , just for one night . and then tomorrow you can follow him . i wish i could have done it myself , but ... eric : baby , you were taking care of holly . she was your first priority . now i have a chance to follow xander and see where he goes , where he might be keeping those recordings . he will have nothing to hold over you anymore . [ dramatic music ] nicole : i pray that you find it . but you ca n't stay here . because if xander catches us , you wo n't be following him tomorrow . do you understand me ? 'cause he could expose me or hurt you or worse . eric : you know what ? i do n't care what -- if i go , how can you expect him not to try and sleep with you ? all right ? he 's trying to find new ways to punish you . nicole : no , no . xander only wants me because he knows he ca n't have me . he knows that my heart belongs to you . now and forever . [ sniffs ] xander : problem ? kristen : no , i 'm just surprised brady has n't called back . it 's not like his social calendar is full at the moment . xander : his sun rises and sets on you , eh ? how sweet . kristen : cut the sarcasm . xander : i know you think you can trust brady , but from my experience , you should watch your back . kristen : did i ask for your advice ? no , i didn't . and are you forgetting who works for whom ? [ suspenseful music ] brady : [ grunting ] [ metallic clinking ] [ dramatic music ] jennifer : as much as it hurts to lose eric , maybe it 's just better if i 'm not with anyone right now because , you know , i have a lot of things to do . i have a lot of things i need to be focused on , and ... maggie : yeah , i know abigail , she 's been through a rough time . i mean , she 's pregnant with stefan 's child . and chad moving out . jennifer : yeah . she 's in a lot of pain , aunt maggie . maggie : yeah , so is chad . i mean , it 's -- it 's obvious what a toll it 's taking on him . jennifer : this whole thing is such a mess . maggie : oh , well , i just keep holding out hope that they will be able to get through this . jennifer : me , too . maggie : yeah . hey , you know i hate it when people i love are suffering . [ sighs ] jennifer , have you talked to lucas lately ? jennifer : no , i haven't . why ? maggie : uh , well , he is dealing with a very complicated situation of his own . kate : well , i think you have made a really , really good decision . i 'm gon na go to justin 's office right now and get the ball rolling . lucas : that 'd be great . kate : okay . chloe : oh , you know what ? you 've got ta get this baby out of here , then , before bonnie shows up . why do n't i take her for a walk ? lucas : that 'll be even better . thank you . i really appreciate it . thank you , both of you . kate : honey , you know that i would do anything for my family . anything . [ dramatic music ] bonnie : so what you 're telling me is that all i have to look forward to is spending the rest of my life on the run ? mimi : how exactly did you think this was going to turn out , mom ? i do love you . but i think we love each other best from afar . bonnie : [ sighs ] well , i ca n't argue with you about that , for sure . mimi : look , we do n't have time to waste . you go get the baby , then meet me in the square in an hour . bonnie : okay . mimi : okay . bonnie : okay . oh , hey , wait , just ... mims . mimi : yeah ? bonnie : if i have n't already said it , thank you . thank you for everything you 've ever done for me . i love you . kristen : well , i think our friend here is getting pretty tired . maybe you can take him back to the room so he can rest . hey , i 'll see you soon . brady : come on . truth time . did you tell sami that ej was alive just to -- to drive her nuts ? were you being manipulative ? huh ? kristen : can we not discuss this right now ? we have so much to catch up on . right now i just -- i wan na enjoy this time being in your arms . [ clattering ] who 's there ? for mild - to - moderate eczema [ suspenseful music ] bonnie : oh , there 's the proud papa . did baby bonnie give you any trouble last night ? lucas : no , no , actually she was perfect . bonnie : oh , good . so , where is the little rugrat ? lucas : out . bonnie : `` out `` ? i -- hello , did n't we agree to meet here so i could pick her up ? lucas : yeah , yeah , i know . i know . i changed my mind . bonnie : what ? what 's going on here ? i -- i 'm the mother . i have rights . lucas : not for long . bonnie : what 's that supposed to mean ?

[ dramatic music ] eric : i 'm gon na leave . but i 'm not gon na be very far , so if you need me , i can be back here very quickly . nicole : i know i told you you have to leave , but now i ... eric : you 're having second thoughts . nicole : yeah , is that crazy ? eric : no . not at all . you 're just ... the thought that this is just another fleeting moment of happiness . but i promise you , this really is the beginning of our new life together . i have something for you . it 's for protection . until i can give it to you myself . nicole : i love you so much . [ knocking ] eric : and he would n't knock , would he ? nicole : no . i mean , i have a diaper delivery service that comes about this time . you know what ? you should probably hide anyway just in case . eric : i 'll be right here , okay ? nicole : yeah .

'cause after everything you 've done for me , the last thing i want to do is hurt you . jan : shawn , you are so sweet . i mean , this is exactly why i love you . and if you just give me a chance , i promise i 'll make you remember exactly how much you love me . jan : oh . wait , wait , wait . i do n't want it to be here . mimi or rex could walk in . come on , let 's go to my place . you seem recovered enough to get back on the love wagon . come on , love cakes , let 's be together again , body and soul .

[ scene_break ] [ siren wailing in distance ] philip : lexie ... is she all right ? what 's wrong with her ? lexie : i gave belle as complete an exam as i could give her here . philip : and ? lexie : and there does n't appear to be anything physically wrong with her .. although if she continues to feel this way , i 'd like to run some blood work to rule out a thyroid problem , which is fairly common in new mothers and could cause similar symptoms . philip : but if it is n't a thyroid problem , what do you think it is ? lexie : belle 's in a very precarious mental state . at the very least , she 's suffering from exhaustion . philip : then i 'll get her more rest . i 'll hire a full - time nurse . i 'll pick up the slack . lexie : that 's a good start , but , look , i 'm afraid it 's much more involved than that , philip . philip : what does that mean ? lexie : here . come sit down . philip : okay . lexie : okay . i 'm not a psychiatrist , but this probably did n't start with the baby . look at the year belle 's had . a rushed wedding , followed immediately by her new husband being shipped off to war and then taken prisoner . and when you did return ... philip , losing your leg did n't just happen to you . it happened to both of you . belle 's had to adjust almost as much as you have . philip : i know that . it 's just that , lexie , she has been so strong . i think i 've just leaned on her too much . lexie : no , no . look . this is n't your fault , philip , okay ? and this is n't belle 's fault . philip : [ sighs ] lexie : um ... this was an unplanned pregnancy , which is n't to say that belle did n't want to have the baby , okay ? i am sure she loves your daughter with all her heart . but it makes it that much harder for her to adjust to all these changes in her life . and with it being a difficult labor , belle knows very well that she or the baby or both of them might have died . it could be frightening to face your own mortality that way . philip : i know . lexie : and add to all of that , i mean , the fluctuating hormones , the sleep depravation . i mean , all the fears and anxieties that go along with being a new mother is too much . it 's just too much for anybody to deal with . philip : [ exhales deeply ] when you put it like that , no wonder she 's a wreck . so that 's why she ca n't stop crying ? lexie : my guess is that belle is developing a full - blown case of postpartum depression .

a bomb like that ? nicole : eric and i never meant to hurt you . brady : does that make it okay ? you know , i literally had my heart ripped out of my chest because of that son of a bitch . and it 's happening again to me . nicole : no , that 's -- that 's not fair . brady : that 's not fair ? you want to know what 's not fair ? how about the fact that deimos and i were the ones that proved that holly was your daughter ? we did that . you know how you repaid deimos ? you killed him . nicole : deimos was a monster . he was going to take holly and disappear . brady : i did take holly and disappear . with you . i left everything for you . i went to another country for you . i almost died so you could be with her . a little girl that i call my daughter now . nicole : i 'm sorry . brady : do n't say you 're sorry . actually , you know what you can be sorry about ? the fact that my little boy , i do n't know how i 'm going to explain this to him , nic . you see , when theresa left us , he was too young to understand , but understands this . he 's gon na remember your face and holly 's . nicole : so what 's the plan , brady ?

eric : well , according to nicole , brady , uh , he took it well . maybe he was prepared for it . he knows how i feel about her . so maybe , you know , with the holidays coming up , maybe it 's not the best idea to invite me to any family gatherings . marlena : oh , my gosh , no . please -- let 's not go there until we have to , okay ? eric : but just know that i hope brady understands that i still love him . marlena : honey , we just ca n't ever control who we love . just ... how we behave . you and nicole , i mean , you 've ... you 've been in love for a very long time . believe me , i do understand those feelings . eric : i know you do . thank you , thank you for understanding . marlena : and i 'm sure that you and brady can sort this out at some point . eric : yeah , yeah . i hope we do , 'cause i 'm going to keep trying . till we work things out , i just ... any problems that brady and i have , i hope it does n't create any issues for you or john . john : you 're not really serious . you ca n't exhume will 's body . paul : why not ? it 's not like we have n't done it before . john : come on , son . it 's a different situation with stefano . it was a whole different ball game . paul : look , i know that will was family to you , but -- john : it goes beyond that . you know , we just -- we ca n't ignore lucas 's wishes . i mean , he does n't want his son 's grave disturbed . we have to respect that . and the law . paul : what other choice do we have ? john : we 'll figure out something . paul : like what ? we have no idea where rolf went after he left statesville , and he 's the only person who can give us answers . john : i just need you to be patient right now . paul : okay , for how long ? a few days ? a couple of months ? even if we find rolf , there is no guarantee that he is going to cooperate . he could send us on another wild goose chase and we 'll end up right back where we started . john : i know that you 're frustrated . paul : i am not frustrated . i am scared , dad . i 'm scared that this distance that i 'm starting to feel with sonny is not going to go away . and that it 's only going to continue to grow the longer that this goes on . as much as i love him , and as strong as i know our love is , i ca n't compete with a ghost . i know that i am asking a lot from you , dad , but please . please . wo n't you do this for me ? lani : jj would be really upset if he knew i was here talking to you about this . but i think it 's important that you know . first of all , he feels really awful about what happened . hope : i know he does . he told me . lani : did he also tell you the horrible and personal things ben said to goad him ? hope : no . no , he didn't . lani : let 's just say , i would have lost my cool too . i think most of us would have . commissioner , i 'm not asking you to lift his suspension . but jj and i work really well together , and if you would just give him another chance ... abigail : wow . oh , my gosh , this is so cool . jj : since i could n't come up with something for you and chad , i decided to get something for thomas instead . abigail : oh . wait ... is this the one that you used to carry around all the time ? this is the one that grandpa bill gave you ? jj : yeah , yeah . and he told us that this actually belonged to his grandfather , so in a way , it 's kind of a family heirloom . so i thought it was time to give it to thomas . abigail : that is so incredibly sweet . thank you so much . oh . you know , um , we 'll just -- we 'll keep this on loan until you have your own family . right ? jj : no , no , no . no , it 's thomas 's . abigail : do n't you want to give it to your kid someday ? next generation of hortons ? jj : i think we 're looking at the next generation . better take good care of this , buddy . i 'm counting on you . brady : no , no . i would never keep you here against your will . besides , i already told you , i do n't want to be with some slut who ca n't keep her hands off my brother . nicole : so what do you want ? brady : i wo n't you to break eric 's heart . just like you broke mine . marlena : you are so sweet to think about john and me . eric : i just need to know that you are both okay with this . marlena : hey , this is your life . and you have to live it the way that makes you happy . eric : mom . marlena : hmm ? eric : what is it ? marlena : oh , oh , oh . well , i was kind of thinking about , you know , paul and sonny . their situation is so similar to the situation between you and brady . eric : really ? how so ? marlena : well , because if by some miracle will is alive , well , then sonny will get to have a second chance at his first love . eric : yeah , and then in that case , paul could have his own heart broken . marlena : i know . and john and i would never wish for that kind of pain for paul . but on the other hand , if there 's a chance that will is alive , how can i not wish for that ? paul : if will 's grave is going to be exhumed , is n't it better that we 're the one 's to do it ? we 're not strangers . we will be respectful . i understand how upsetting this is for marlena . and lucas , sonny . i do not want to add to that , but they deserve to know the truth . we all do . dad , maybe we just do n't tell them until it 's all over with . john : when do we do this ? paul : tonight . copd makes it hard to breathe . hope : you make a very persuasive argument , lani . lani : thank you . hope : but considering -- jj : sorry , i was just looking for lani . fitz at the desk told me that she was in here . hope : not a problem . actually , lani and i were just discussing her partner assignment . jj : right . listen , i want to tell you again , i 'm sorry for what happened with ben . and i feel especially bad that it 's the first thing you had to deal with as commissioner . but i want you to know , you made the right call . i 've learned from my mistake , and it wo n't happen again . just let me know when you 're done . hope : jj , wait . marlena : i know the search is on for rolf . eric : the police , do they have any leads ? marlena : well , no , not yet . i 'm sure they 've got to do a lot of digging to find out where we went after statesville . eric : yeah . well , keep my posted . marlena : i will . when there 's any news , you 'll be the first to hear . eric : i hope you get all the answers you need and want about will . marlena : thanks . i do too . well , uh , i guess nicole 's on her way over . i wo n't take any more of your time . i love you so much . eric : i love you too . let sami know i 'm here for her if she needs me . marlena : i will . bye . eric : bye . nicole : how am i supposed to break eric 's heart ? brady : well , you can forget about telling him the truth . that you killed deimos in cold blood and that i 'm forcing you to do this , or otherwise i 'm just gon na have to go right to the police . nicole : and how is that supposed to happen ? brady : it 's easy ; you go to eric , you dump his ass ; you tell him that whatever you have or whatever had is dead and gone . and then you pack your bags , and then you take holly and you get your ass out of town so that i never have to see your lying , cheating face ever again as long as i live . nicole : god , brady . who are you ?

kristen : my brother got shot , and you called jennifer ? sami : where are your priorities ? your brother is in surgery , and that little girl was standing next to him when he was shot . twice . she has blood on her dress . she is completely traumatized , and i thought she needed her mother . yeah , yeah , so i called jennifer before i called you . what was i thinking ? and , you know what , i really think this is the right time to have that conversation , 'cause that 's what matters ? kristen : no , what matters is why you did n't call me . sami : 'cause i do n't want to talk to you . kristen : listen , that nut job went into the club and shot my brother because you killed her husband . if chad dies , it 's on you . sami : [ scoffs ] gabi : arianna 's asleep , and the babysitter has to go home , so now that abigail 's mom is here , i think i 'm gon na go . will : okay . thanks . gabi : can you call me , though ? will : absolutely . sure . gabi : okay , i 'm gon na say bye . sonny : you okay ? will : are you okay ? i 'm -- no . sonny : there were so many people there . it could have gone so much worse . will : mm - hmm . sonny : then chad , i mean , he -- he almost got shot at -- will : i know , i know , i know . he 's gon na be fine . he 's gon na be fine . he 's a tough dude . he 's gon na be fine . cameron : come on , come on . adverse effects if ... no . damn it , no . daniel : the celiac artery 's ruptured . his bp is falling . daniel : if i do n't fix this artery , we are going to lose him . cameron : oh , any word from the o.r . ? maxine : i just got dr. dan 's suicidal plan . cameron : let me see . no , they ca n't give this to him . they ca n't give it to him . maxine : well , if something 's wrong , you need to scrub in and tell dr. jonas asap . ej : what was that ? something 's wrong , is n't it ? cameron : it 's not good . chad 's celiac artery collapsed , and dr. jonas is in there right now trying to stop the bleeding . i need to get in there . ej : why ? cameron : because if i do n't tell daniel that chad is on a special treatment for his brain tumor , he could die . ej : i 'm sorry , dr. davis , i ca n't let you do that . jennifer : what we have to remember is that daniel is the one doing the surgery , okay ? i am living proof that he can work a miracle . abigail : i know . jennifer : and chad is so young and so strong . abigail : he 's a good person too , mom . he 's so important to me and ... now more than ever because ... he 's the first guy that i -- he 's -- jennifer : oh , gosh , babe , i 'm sorry , i did n't -- i 'm sorry , i did n't know how close the two of you had gotten . sami : you want to do this right now ? you want to play the blame game with me , then you could -- i 'm not doing it . i am not getting sucked into your petty crap right now . excuse me . do you know where ej is ? stefano : ahh , you . sami : here we go again . eric : i do n't understand why you ca n't answer one simple question . nicole : i told you , i 'm not in a giving mood , and why would i be when i overheard kristen gloating about how you agreed to marry her and brady ? eric : that 's right . nicole : you know , we talked since you 've made this decision . why did n't you tell me then ? eric : because it 's none of your business . nicole : well , it will be when you come to regret it as a priest , as brady 's brother . how could you sanction him getting married to the devil ? eric : nicole , butt out . nicole : i ca n't . when it comes to you , i ca n't always do that . hope : do you hear what you 're saying ? do you really believe it 's an eye for an eye ? marge : you both know the dimeras were behind everything that happened to joe . hope : no , marge . joe was responsible for what happened to joe . he was a grown man who made his own decisions . and he was on the take . marge : do you think a man like stefano dimera gave him a chance ? hope : there 's always a choice , marge . roman : she 's right . marge : remember mayor marino ? roman : yes , we do . marge : he tried to go against the dimeras , and he ended up dead on their doorstep . did either of you do anything to make the dimeras pay for that ? no , you did n't . and you never do . i 'll bet stefano dimera threatened me and timmy . that 's why joe did what he did . and i 'm so sorry for shooting that kid , and i have to live with that for the rest of my life . but if stefano dimera and his family feel the way that i feel right now , then maybe justice was finally done . sami : do n't you even start with me . before you jump all over me , i have one thing i want to say to you . if chad dies tonight , you have no one to blame but yourself . you and i both know that you are the reason that i had to kill that woman 's husband , and that is why she went so crazy that she showed up at that club and started shooting the place up . you put this in motion with your ridiculous jealousy about kate and rafe , which is crazy because you 're the one who kicked her to the curb in the first place . so if you want someone to blame , why do n't you go down to the men 's room and take a look in the damn mirror ? and i hope for once you see what kind of man you truly are . kristen : father . just what the hell did you say to him ? sami : i just told him the truth . daniel : i used a dacron to stitch up the celiac artery , but it 's not holding , so i had to clamp it again and over - sew it . and then i am going to apply a topical haemostatic agent . we 'll definitely need more blood . his bp is holding . daniel : yeah , he 's doing good . he 's doing good . thank god he 's a strong , healthy young man . right there . cameron : i do n't think you understand what we 're talking about . we are talking about chad 's life . ej : no , i understand . you have to listen to me . cameron : no , you listen to me , his tumor trials are not on his medical record . and if dr. jonas administers any kind of haemostatic agent , it could kill him . ej : how ?

'cause you came back to salem after they escaped , right ? eduardo : right . kate : [ sighs ] eduardo : i 'd been away . i was trying to locate a guy . i tracked him to dixon correctional . i had reason to believe that he had caused harm to my family and that he was planning to do it again . so , they were transferring him to a maximum security facility , which is why he was on that van with those three other men . i posed ... as a guard , got myself on the van , too . kate : and it crashed . eduardo : it crashed . everything went sideways . the guy driving lost control and we got bounced around and i -- i hit my head . when i -- when i woke up -- kate : orpheus and xander and clyde were -- were gone . eduardo : they were all gone . so i 'm the reason for all of this . what happened to you , my son , those two kids who got kidnapped , everything that happened here ... it 's all ... my fault . i laugh , i sneeze ... eduardo : you gon na say something ? kate : [ sighs ] eduardo ... do people ever call you eddie ? eduardo : sometimes . kate : eddie , i think we need to take a breath here , 'cause somehow it seems like you 're -- you 're looking for some kind of absolution . eduardo : well , if i had n't been on that van , had n't done what i did -- kate : no , no , no , i get it . i understand that . you were the linchpin . probably none of this would have happened if you had n't done whatever you did in that van . i do n't -- i do n't even want to hear the details . i do n't wan na hear 'em . but you feel guilty , and that 's real and that 's understandable . but frankly , i think if there 's anyone you need to explain things to it 's your family . i know adriana is back in mexico , but your kids are here . i think you should talk to your children . eduardo : and say what ? i 've been on probation with all of them since the moment i set foot in this town . seems like everything i do to try to fix it makes it worse . a couple of hours ago , it looked like dario was gon na die because of me . rafe 's out there every day chasing these maniacs , risking his life because of me . gabi was terrified something could happen to that little angel girl . all these people here are suffering because of me . it 's insane . it 's insane . kate : look , i ca n't speak for everyone , all right , but what you did in that van you did to protect your family . that 's what you did . now , you go to them and you tell them that . you explain that , they 're gon na understand , and they 're going to forgive you . these people here , they 're not your victims . you think i 'm your victim ? okay , that 's fine . i forgive you . now go talk to your son . eduardo : well , look at you . you ... you look so much better . dario : i still do n't know where all this fatherly compassion 's coming from , but ... yeah , yeah , i 'm gon na get outta here . i 'm gon na go check on tbd . eduardo : i already got a report . it 's ... you know , the damage was n't too extensive , but , you know , it was significant enough . it 's gon na -- it 's gon na be a while before it can open again . dario : like -- [ clears throat ] i guess i 'm gon na be out of a job for a while . eduardo : so you 're not still ... you 're not still hooked up with kiriakis ? dario : no , no , no , no . i stopped working for deimos because ... i 'm not working for him anymore . eduardo : okay , well ... [ laughs ] dario : do n't -- do n't look so upset about it . eduardo : you know , i ... i mentioned it before . i just wondered if you might possibly want to come work for me in a new thing that i 'm setting up . the pay would be really good . dario : well , seeing as i 'm broke ... why the hell not ? steve : hey , baby . kayla : hi . steve : you know , after you save 10 or 20 lives , you get to take a break . kayla : no , i ca n't take a break , not now , not -- not when we have all these yellow tags still everywhere . steve : well , you still have a lot of help everywhere . kayla : you know what would make me feel better ? steve : what ? kayla : if you 'd tell me that this is the worst it 's gon na get . i mean , you 've been out there . you 've seen the people . you 've seen the town . is there more to come ? steve : i do n't know , sweetness .

[ dark music ] john : hope ? hey . i heard about julie . are you okay ? roman : you know , knowing julie as i do , i think you could put shirley temple 's heart in there or jack the ripper 's heart and julie would still be julie . kate : oh , really ? roman : mm - hmm . kate : well , if she 's such a go - getter , why was she just lying in her bed waiting for a miracle ? why was n't she proactive like i was ? roman : wait a minute . are you blaming her for not willing herself out of a failing heart ? kate : i do n't know . i do n't know . i just know that i 'm tired of lying here . roman : easy , okay ? lady lazarus , it 's been one day . kate : i want to get back to the business of living . roman : uh - huh , which means that you are afraid you 're gon na get replaced at dimera enterprises . kate : [ scoffs ] oh , really ? roman : mm - hmm . kate : really ? you want to see kristen as head of dimera ? would that make you happy ? because that 's the whole reason she came back to salem : to reclaim her so - called legacy . roman : i would n't worry about kristen . she 's got her sights set on brady at the moment . kate : what ? roman : mm - hmm . kate : really ? oh , my god . victor must be apoplectic . he 's going to end up firing brady . who knows ? i might end up running both companies . roman : oh , kate . katie , will you just hold on ? kate : oh , roman brady , you have made my day . oh . anna : i 'm heading to the town square to return a few items . tony : oh . well , do n't worry about money . i 'll get myself a job . anna : who 's worried about money ? darling , i have more than enough to take care of both of us . tony : i ca n't accept that . anna : what ? tony : well , call me antediluvian , but i need to be the breadwinner . anna : well , i do call you anti ... tony : yes . anna : ... de whatever you said , but i love you anyway .

[ both chuckle ] hope : of course . yeah . rolf : i must say you seem to be losing your edge . xander : i 'm as edgy as i ever was . rolf : [ scoffs ] pining away after a little nobody like sarah horton . xander : you do n't know her like i do . she has a certain amount of edge herself . rolf : huh . if you say so . so if i deliver this , what 's it worth to you ? my services do n't come cheaply , though . sarah : guess what ? i decided that i 'm not going to leave salem . xander : you have ? what -- what changed your mind ? sarah : eric found out that i 'm pregnant . xander : oh , i 'm sorry . i -- i know that you did n't want that . sarah : actually , i 'm fine with it . it was so stupid to think that i needed to leave town . i mean , eric is so crazy in love with nicole he does n't care about the baby . so now , they can live happily ever . and so can you and i . xander : [ sighs ] you want to know what this is worth to me ? name your price . marlena : i 'm so sorry . eric : you know what ? it 's all right . marlena : well , i did n't think that anybody was home , so i just used the -- you know , the outside key . eric : yeah . marlena : yeah . next time , i 'll call first . i think i 'll be going . nicole : marlena , please , please wait . do n't go . please . just stay and have some cake with us , but first , i think i 'll slip into something a little less comfortable . sorry . excuse me . marlena : yeah . honey , i -- i , uh ... i know you certainly have heard about stefan , and -- and , um ... i assume you know he 's been declared brain dead . and ... well , julie is , um , getting a transplant today . eric : well , that 's -- that 's -- that 's great news . marlena : yeah , yeah . i hope so , and in fact , um , kayla and sarah are gon na be scrubbing in with the transplant team . eric : then she 's in good hands . marlena : yeah . have you talked to sarah lately ? eric : no . things have been a bit awkward , you know , but i 'm hoping that we 'll be friends again soon . marlena : i hope so too . eric : how is she ? marlena : well , professionally she 's doing brilliantly . i just do n't know if she 's managed to switch off her feelings for you . honey , look , i know that ... you and nicole have loved each other for a long time . i can see how happy you are . you know , a while back when you and i were talking about this when sarah was still ... eric : mom . marlena : with rex , you were n't sure if you could get over your feelings for her . so i 'm wondering if you have been able to do that . at humana , we believe your healthcare should evolve with you . and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you . humana can help . with original medicare , you 're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits , but 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 and still not get prescription drug coverage . 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 as low as a $ 0 monthly plan premium in many 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 humana medicare advantage plan could save you money . there is no obligation , so call or go online right now . john : it 's really a beautiful rosary . hope : yeah . julie got it at the vatican when she and my dad were on one of their cruises . john : oh . it must mean a lot to her . hope : to me too . john : yeah . hope : i do n't know why i keep dropping it . i dropped it in the chapel too . actually , i would n't even have it if rolf had n't found it . john : dr. rolf ? what the hell would he be doing in a hospital chapel ? hope : i do n't know what he was doing there . he 's been hanging around the hospital a lot ever since jennifer convinced kayla to give him lab space here . john : yeah ? why would jennifer do something like that ? hope : she thought that rolf could help jack , but then jack got his memory back on his own . john : and he 's still here . hope : kayla says she wants him gone . john : and rolf is still hanging out . yeah . i wonder what he 's up to ? rolf : before i name my price , i 'd like to know what this project entails . xander : well , it 's not exactly rocket science , doc . get in your car . drive across town . give this envelope to eric brady . rolf : and how do i explain a strange woman 's personal information in my possession ? xander : well , first of all , keep me out of it , and then just say that you were in this house visiting your old friend kristen -- which is the truth -- and that you just happened to see this envelope laying about . and being the nosy so- and - so that you are , you could n't help but open it up and read it , and you figured out that eric was the baby daddy , and you thought he had a right to know . rolf : [ chuckles ] do you know , for this errand , you could have had any messenger . xander : a messenger can be traced back to me . i 'll give you 10 grand . rolf : hmm . xander : 20 . rolf : no . no . i do n't want your money . xander : have you got a screw loose ? rolf : no . i have other priorities . but there is something else -- something which could convince me to run your little errand for you . eric : i do think about sarah , especially since i got the mistaken idea she was pregnant . marlena : oh , i did n't know about that . eric : yeah . well , it was a misunderstanding . it 's all been cleared up now . nicole : so did you make a wish and blow out the candles ? marlena : i knew i forgot something . eric : yeah . there 's no need , because all my wishes have come true . marlena : well , i 'll -- i 'll leave you two to celebrate . i 'm gon na meet john for supper . eric : mom . marlena : oh . hmm ? eric : thanks for the cake . marlena : it was my pleasure . good to see you , nicole . nicole : it was good to see you too . [ door thuds shut ] eric : hey . is something wrong ? nicole : well , i , uh -- i have a confession to make . i heard you talking to your mom . eric : oh . nicole : yeah . it seems we have some things to get out in the open . anna : thank you for meeting me . i have something very important to say to you . roman : okay . what do you want now ? anna : nothing , smarty . [ dramatic music ] roman : what 's that ? anna : that is the ring i bought for you to give to me . i 'm taking back my proposal . roman brady , please do me the honor of not marrying me . [ tense music ] kate : tony ? what are you doing here ? tony : i just learned that my brother was taken off life support ... that i arrived too late to say my good - byes . kate : hmm . well , i 'm very sorry . tony : i wish i 'd gotten to know him better . stefan and i , any interaction we had was adversarial . when he and kristen were fighting over who was going to be the next ceo of dimera enterprises -- kate : you were part of that ? oh , that 's right . that 's right , because kristen was passing herself off as nicole , and she had to marry you to qualify . really boggles the mind . tony : oh , i agree , which is why i thought it was a surprise that mr . shin called me today . kate : shin called you ? tony : yeah . he did n't tell you ? he asked me to take over for you as ceo . [ dark music ] kate : over my dead body . anna : so now that tony and i are back together , i wanted you to know that you are off the hook . roman : okay , but ... [ chuckles ] why are you pushing this on me ? i mean , you 're the one who paid for it . anna : well , i do n't have any more use for it . and i figured you could maybe sell it . keep the money . think of it as , uh , payment for services rendered . it does seem like the least i can do . roman : anna , i am just very glad that you and tony worked things out . anna : oh , me too . you know , when he first came back , he was acting like a dimera . and i wo n't have that . so thank goodness he wants nothing to do with his family or their dirty , dirty business . kate : shin must know that i 'm out of the woods now . why would he make a ridiculous offer like that to you behind my back ? i have a contract . tony : oh , he knows that . but since you 're far from recovered -- kate : okay . you listen to me . vivian put a bullet in my belly and dumped in an open grave . i crawled out and staggered to this hospital , not to allow you to pry the company out of my warm , not - dead hands . tony : oh . that 's rather dramatic . but do n't shoot the messenger , love . i did n't contact mr . shin . he 's the one who called me , and anybody who 's ever talked to me knows that i have no interest in running dimera . kate : good . then you 'll have no problem calling him and telling him that . [ tense music ] rolf : i 've been working at a lab at the hospital , but my access to it has been revoked . xander : why do you need a lab ? rolf : that 's none of your business . xander : so i presume you want me to find you a new lab ? rolf : you presume correctly . xander : if i do that and you get back up to your usual mischief , i could end up behind bars again . rolf : i 'm working on a top - secret project , one that 's very important to me personally . und that is all i can tell you . and if it 's a deal - breaker , then so be it . john : so why would rolf still be hanging around when kristen does n't seem to have any use for him anymore ? hmm ? i do n't like it . hope : rolf 's been doing a lot more good than harm lately . john : what are you doing ? are you defending the guy ? that 's the man that downloaded my memory onto a cd , for god -- no , no , no . let 's forget about that . let 's talk about you and what he did to you . marlena : oh . this a bad time ? john : no , sweetheart . this is actually a great time because you 're just interrupting a very bad trip down memory lane . [ tense music ] eric : i am sorry about what you may have heard . it 's just that my mom has been a cheerleader for sarah . but she knows that you are the love of my life . nicole : until you realized i was really alive , you were ready to make a life with sarah . and i know you . you do n't make that kind of commitment without deep feelings . and those feelings do n't just go away because i came back . eric : nicole , i am where i want to be . nicole : maybe i 'm just feeling insecure , but when i thought sarah was pregnant , it hit me ... that she can give you a child and i can't . eric : you know what ? holly may not be my biological child , but i could not love her any more than i already do . nicole : but you always wanted to have a bunch of kids . eric : nicole , a long time ago i made peace with not having children when i became a priest . nicole : i still ca n't help but wonder ... if sarah really had been pregnant , would you have left me and gone back to her ? roman : anna , you keep this , all right ? let tony put that on your finger . anna : oh , i already suggested that , and he turned me down flat . he wants to buy his own ring . roman : well , good for him . when 's the wedding ? anna : i 'm not sure . we 're thinking about doing it in france or italy so carrie and noah can be there . roman : you two have n't firmed up the plan ? anna : well , to be honest , we 've been too taken with the honeymoon to think about wedding plans . and all that matters , really , is that tony is back and he 's mine . and we both want the same things for our future together . kate : well , you said you had no interest in running the company . tony : i know , but ... kate : you know , but ... but what ? spit it out . tony : anna has expensive tastes . kate : [ scoffs ] tony : a job would be helpful . kate : anna is independently wealthy . tony : hmm , and i told her i 'm not gon na live off her fortune . she thinks i 'm old - fashioned . kate : she thinks you 're sexist . tony : yeah , but then you 'd say anything to keep me from taking your job . kate : tony , you 're not qualified . tony : i 've had some experience . kate : mm - hmm . 90 % of your résumé was compiled by andre when he was pretending to be you . tony : what you 're saying is that i need to prove myself . kate : exactly . why do n't you apply for the executive training program ? tony : i 'll take that under advisement . [ vase and balloon clatter ] kate : [ sighs in annoyance ] god . marlena : you look pale . you all right ? hope : i 'm just exhausted . john : well , you know what ? food is a weapon against that , and when 's the last time you ate ? hope : i had something last night when i got home . john : last night . marlena : yeah . you know , john and i are about to grab a little , quick supper . john : mm - hmm . marlena : just over at the square . close by . why do n't you join us ? hope : no . i -- i do n't want to leave . i 'd hate to leave until i know something about julie . marlena : hope ... we 're all concerned about julie . but she has n't even gone into the o.r . yet . the surgery 's going to take hours . look , the team is keeping me posted , so what do you say ? come with us . john : you know she 's not gon na take `` no `` for an answer . hope : all right . [ john and marlena chuckle ] john : okay . [ somber music ] xander : so what are you gon na do ? blow up salem ? freeze the planet ? rolf : certainly not . i only work for the betterment of society as a whole . xander : yeah , so i 've heard . rolf : did n't you tell me the clock was ticking on sarah 's departure ? you want me to do this or not ? xander : agreed . i 'll get you a lab at titan . rolf : hmm , and i 'll give you a list of all the equipment i require . xander : i 'll get it all tricked out . whatever you need . [ dark music ] rolf : deal . eric : sarah is n't pregnant . so there 's no reason -- nicole : i want you to answer my question . i know you , eric . you would never walk away from your own child . eric : that 's true . and i would never walk away from the woman i love , either . nicole : you broke it off with sarah , and you loved her . what would stop you from doing the same thing to me ? [ pensive music ] eric : sarah and i had n't been together very long when i thought you might be alive . nicole : but you loved her . eric : not as deeply as i love you . [ stirring music ] i wish that i did n't hurt her the way i did , and i ... i care for her . and i want her to have happiness . but i do n't regret for one second being with you . and nothing ... nothing is ever going to change that . nicole : okay . rolf : are n't you afraid this is going to blow up in your face ? xander : eric 's so besotted by nicole , nothing can make him see anything but her . rolf : not even impending fatherhood ? [ calculating music ] sarah : guess what ? i 've decided to stay in salem . xander : i ca n't tell you how happy that makes me . sarah : me too . i do n't know how it happened , but eric found out that i was pregnant , and he 's already left nicole and we 're gon na be together . is n't it so wonderful ? i 'm getting everything i ever wanted . marlena : [ sighs happily ] john : hey , how about right here ? marlena : perfect . i love the flowers . john : mm - hmm . hope : rolf ? rolf : uh ... oh .

[ scene_break ] carly : look , i know you feel that way now , but i 'm hoping -- melanie : carly , the worst thing you can do right now is tell me how i feel . philip : mel , come on . i mean , how is what carly did so different from what we did ? we lied to protect daniel and the baby . melanie : yeah . we lied to protect my dad and my little brother or my little sister . but she lied . you lied and lied and lied , and the only person you were worried about protecting was yourself . [ scene_break ] daniel : hey . come here . listen , i was pretty upset by what was said about melanie . it was careless and it was unkind . but from what i 've seen , i know you love her , and you respect that she 's a big part of my life . so i think you and i , we should put this behind us . chloe : thank you . for being so forgiving . daniel : hey . look . i love you . and i know you have an amazing heart . and you never wanted to heart melanie . i know that . chloe : no , i did n't . oh , my god . she 's your daughter , and she 's very special to me . daniel : yeah . me too . chloe : daniel , do you think that she 'll ever forgive me ? daniel : honey , i do n't know . i ca n't answer for her . chloe : that means no , does n't it ? it 'll never be okay between melanie and me again , will it ?

[ sighs ] jennifer : like when your dad died . abigail : dad was trying to protect me , and chad was doing the same thing . jennifer : no , wait , honey . you wait a minute . what happened to chad is no more your fault than what happened with your dad . abigail : nothing has been the same ever since . jennifer : yeah , you 're right . it has n't been the same . abigail : i do n't know . maybe it 's just bad luck or something . i 'm starting to think that it 's our destiny , mom . i mean ... why do we have to lose all the people that we love ? kristen : marge bernardi went to that club to shoot you . i believe that makes this your fault . sami : you should check your facts . she was planning to shoot ej . kristen : because she blames him for getting you off ! you killed her husband ! this is on you , sami ! sami : you and i both know that your father hired joe bernardi to maim rafe . if he had n't done that , i would 've been guilty of visiting my ex - husband in the hospital . look , i have done some terrible things in my life , and i 've hurt people i love . this one is not my fault . kristen : oh , so you did n't shoot and kill a guy ? you did n't do that ? sami : because your father left me no choice . kristen : [ scoffs ] sami : if the law does not make him pay for what he did , i hope to god that what has happened to chad finally does the trick . daniel : give me another shot of epi . cameron : i do n't think there 's any point . daniel : just do it ! come on , chad . come on , here we go . come on , come on . here . all right , go . ready ? come on . doctor , i think he 's gone . daniel : mm - mm . no .

[ monitor beeping ] [ camera shutter clicks ] you 're the owner of this place , right ? sonny : one of them , yeah . i 'm gon na have to ask you to stay clear of this area . sonny : yeah , we just want to make some sandwiches and -- and some coffee and bring it to the people at the hospital . is that okay ? the area behind the bar is not part of the crime scene . sonny : okay , that 's perfect . that 's all we need . will : great . thanks . [ clears throat ] so what do you want me to do ? sonny : you know what ? you do n't have to do anything , because i know every kind of coffee that everyone likes , and i saw chad make his dad a cup of coffee before , so i know what kind that is too . [ coffee beans clatter ] will : okay . hold on . hold on . sonny : no , we have to -- let 's just clean this up . we got to get back to the hospital . will : we will . we will . i want to talk to you . sami : i 'm sorry that i got into it with kristen . i know this is n't the right time . ej : it 's okay . you did n't say anything that was n't true . sami : well , i know , but ... i know she 's really scared about chad too . ej : you ever read king lear ? sami : i skipped that one . ej : it 's about an old man who tries to control his grown children by wielding his power . instead , he starts a war . he dies ... holding the body of his youngest child . sami : i can see why you are thinking about that right now . ej : yeah , maybe this will finally get through to father . sami : well , something better . ej : samantha , he stepped in between me and the gun . why would somebody do that ? jennifer : like i said , you 're not a little girl anymore . i do n't need to know every detail of your life . abigail : mom , chad is not a detail . jennifer : honey , i - i know . i just feel like i have been so focused on your brother that i have just sort of allowed you to fend for yourself . abigail : no , mom , that 's not true . jennifer : yes , it is true , and we both know that i have . abigail : okay , well , even if you have , mom , honestly , i - i did n't even notice , because ... chad was there ... and i could talk to him like i never could before . he was so sweet about everything , and he 's the one who gave me an early copy of daddy 's book . jennifer : the one that you gave to jj ? abigail : yeah . he wanted me to see it before the rest of the world did . jennifer : that was really thoughtful of him . abigail : [ sighs ] chad knew everything about me , and for the first time in my life , i did n't hold anything back . sorry . i hope that 's not too much information . jennifer : no . you know , it 's like i said -- you 're not my little girl anymore . abigail : he and i ... we were together before he gave me the book . it 's not like he was doing that to get me in bed or anything . jennifer : oh , my goodness . honey , honestly , first of all , i know that you would never fall for a tactic like that , and second of all , i know that chad is not his father 's son . stefano : i always prided myself on being strong ... the enemy that no man could vanquish . but ... this has happened to my son because ... i was foolish and vain . i tested katherine for no reason , and then i threw her out of my life , instead of taking her in my arms and telling her that i was sorry and that i loved her . and instead of facing the fact that i pushed her into rafael 's bed ... i started a chain of events ... that gave me nothing ... and left chad fighting for his life . samantha is right . at this point ... all my power is useless . and only you ... you ... can save my son . daniel : okay , here we go . clear ! [ monitor beeping ] cameron : he 's still not in sinus rhythm . daniel : all right , let 's do it again . come on , chad . this ... is me . sonny : it 's just that woman comes in here , waving the gun around ... and he does n't even think . he just steps in front of ej and sami , and then he gets shot . will : i know . sonny : i do n't get it . like , i did n't -- i did n't know that he could do something like that . will : me either . well , listen , when -- when we were younger , he was always saying how he was the only child of two people who could n't stand each other . and then the whole thing came out with his mom and stefano , and he suddenly kind of fell into a family . sonny : one that he would risk his life for ? will : well , apparently . i mean , maybe he did n't know until he saw the gun . he did n't know that he was pro - gay until he found out that -- you know , found out about us . sonny : [ chuckles ] he was -- he was happy ... will : yeah . sonny : for us . will : i know . he 's your best friend . sonny : [ sighs ] he is ... you know , like , after you , of course . will : well , thank you . so let 's get some coffee made , and let 's get our asses over to the hospital , okay ? sonny : that sounds good . will : great . stefano : your son died to save sinners like me . now it 's my turn to pay for my own sins . if you will spare my son 's life , i promise to make up for what i have done . jennifer : you know what ? i look forward to , uh , getting to know him better . abigail : i really hope you have that chance . sami : 'cause he 's your brother -- that 's why . ej : would you do the same thing for eric ? sami : yeah . and i know eric would do the same thing for me , and i know you would do the same thing for chad . ej : [ sighs ] i 'm not sure i 'm that noble . sami : well ... i 'm sure that you are , ej dimera . you were willing to give yourself to the d.a . to keep me from spending the rest of my life in prison . why are you being so hard on yourself ? [ sighs ] ej : i blackmailed chad to get him to move into the mansion to make father happy . sami : what are you talking about ? ej : he was resistant . [ sighs ] i got my hands on some information , and , uh , i used that to break down his resistance . it 's the only reason he moved in . sami : well , he did n't seem that miserable about it . ej : samantha , chad never wanted to be a dimera . it was me who forced the issue , and that 's the reason he 's in there fighting for his life . sami : [ sighs ] stefano : i know that you do n't make deals with men like me . but ... i can not lose another child ... especially if it 's because of my own misguided actions . if you spare my son , he will do so much good in the world . and i will try to be a better man . please , please ... give me that chance . huh . give him that chance . daniel : clear ! [ flatline ] [ monitor beeping ] cameron : you did it . he 's back in sinus rhythm . oh , my god . his pulse is steady . he 's not cyanotic . cameron : i ca n't believe it . daniel : all right , let 's get him closed up and down to i.c.u . i 'll get an orderly . daniel : ah , all right , way to go , buddy . somebody up there is on your side , because it clearly was n't your time to go . [ monitor beeping ] [ door opens , footsteps approaching ] hope : hey , guys . sonny : hey . hope : what are you doing here ? will : uh , we just made some sandwiches and coffee for people at the hospital . roman : how 's your mom doing ? will : uh , worried , just like everybody else . sonny : did you , uh , hear anything about chad ? hope : no , not yet . sonny : okay , well , we 're gon na get going . will : yeah , great . it was good to see both of you . roman : okay , we 're going to the hospital after this . we 'll see you there . sonny : okay , i 'll see you . roman : okay . hope : careful driving . sonny : okay . roman : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ smacks lips ] [ exhales deeply ] hope : i know what you 're thinking . roman : it could 've been sami 's blood . i probably should 've been here . hope : no , no , no , you ca n't blame yourself . roman : no , i 'm just thinking , maybe i should 've come to this celebration for the engagement , even though i detest the guy she 's gon na marry . i might 've been able to stop this . hope : i stayed home to be with ciara . see ? life is full of choices , roman ... yes , even for cops . we had no way of knowing that marge bernardi was gon na crash the party with a gun . and you know how much i love sami , and she knows what she 's getting if she marries ej dimera , but she 's doing it anyway . roman : i have n't given up . she still has n't married him yet . cameron : his pulse is steady . i still ca n't believe it . it 's like you willed his heart back . daniel : if will was involved , it was his . something 's making that kid want to stay alive . [ monitor beeping ] cameron : i - i do n't think it 's something . i think it 's someone . kristen : i saw the way my brother was looking at you at the party . if anybody can help pull him through , it 's gon na be seeing you again , believe me . abigail : thank you . i hope so . will : so i 'm guessing since i did n't hear anything from you -- is it still the same ? sami : yeah , yeah . no , you guessed correctly . will : all right . ej : it is just the waiting that is driving me crazy . roman : i 'm gon na talk to sami . hope : yeah , okay . hey . jennifer : hi . hope : hi , sweetheart . oh , honey , i 'm so sorry . hey , sonny . can i ask you a few questions ? jennifer : i ca n't even believe this whole thing has happened . hope : oh , thank god more people were n't hurt . roman : i need to talk to sami alone . sami : why ? dad -- daniel : um ... well , uh ... chad -- he made it through surgery . abigail : oh , thank god ! daniel : he 's being moved into a room now . abigail : oh , thank you . sami : that 's such good news . daniel : yeah , but i 've got to be honest with you . that bullet did some damage , and he 's gon na be in pain for quite a while , but it is a miracle that , uh , he made it through . cameron : yeah . daniel : he 's obviously a fighter . ej : dr. jonas , i 'd just like to thank you for saving my brother 's life . thank you . um , i 'm gon na go and find father . sami : okay . abigail : thank you . thank you , thank you so much .

[ phone ringing ] jordan : oh , uh ... i 'm sorry , i got ta go . rafe : no -- no -- no , it 's okay . take care . chad : theo , it 's okay . all right ? i 'm not going anywhere . theo : my mom is with ej now , up in heaven . dad said . abe : lexie 's not alone now . chad : and that 's good . hey , look at what ej gave me to give to you . theo : [ gasps ] glider ! uncle ej gave me one . broke it , i broke it . this is so cool ! chad : [ laughs ] it is . he wanted you to have this new one . it 's plastic , so it wo n't break so easily . hey , you want to try it out ? theo : yeah ! chad : yeah ? okay . abe : [ laughs ] yeah , go ahead . hey -- hey , stay where i can see you though , buddy , and do n't get it hung up in those trees . you bought it . chad : i knew he liked the one ej gave him . i thought he should have something to remember him by . abe : well , thank you . how you doing ? chad : hanging in there . hey listen ... my father wanted me to ask if a reward would help catch who killed my brother . maybe 50,000 or 100,000 ? clyde : hear me on this . we did n't kill ej dimera . you did . miguel : but , when he punched you , i thought that -- clyde : well , that 's just the thing . you did n't think . did you ever hear me ask you to kill anyone ? miguel : no , sir . clyde : well , then . come on now . do n't go all lily - livered on me . things 'll work out . miguel : you do n't understand . stefano 's gon na send -- clyde : hey , i 'll take care of stefano , okay ? but i need you to do something for me . one simple thing . miguel : yes , sir . clyde : i need you to hide out for a while . miguel : [ laughs ] there 's nowhere to hide when stefano -- clyde : hey , do n't worry . where i 'm gon na put you , nobody 'll ever find you . kristen : because of what happened to john , and the fact that my father and i were able to help , i 've come to know daniel a lot better . nicole : oh , kidnapping did n't do the trick , huh ? kristen : well , i always knew he was a skilled surgeon , but i was n't aware of what a brilliant healer you are . who knows , maybe if you 'd been with ej after he was mugged , things would be different . daniel : look , i wish i could 've helped . eric : my condolences . nicole : yep , sorry about ej . kristen : thank you . i know that he was special to you , was n't he ? nicole : he was . kristen : well , at least i heard that , uh , sami was with him , you know , when he died . and they were able to exchange a few words . nothing meant more to my brother than your sister 's love . and their children , of course . i think it 's very sad that it takes a tragedy like this to make you realize something you should have known a long time ago ... like this man 's skill and knowledge . and honestly , without it , john would probably still be languishing in a coma right now . john : damn . even with all this physical therapy , i 'm not gon na be out of here for days . kristen : you know what theresa did to you . i know you do . but still , you 're willing to let her get away with practically killing you , because you think that 's gon na keep brady away from me . john : kristen always was good at reading people . that 's why i need somebody on the outside . well , i know things are still up in the air between us , but i need someone i can trust ... someone who can help me eliminate kristen ... then theresa . marlena : what kind of a statement is that ? kate : it 's a statement of fact . stefano is nothing if not vindictive . sami has certain areas of the company that are just under her control . and they are about to disappear into a black hole if she does n't do something . marlena : well , but that 's business . kate , if you can handle it , then you fix it . but she ca n't deal with this right now . kate : we can think about it as a distraction for her . it will take her mind off ej , off all of this misery , marlena . marlena : she is exhausted . kate : you do n't understand the implications of what could happen if she does n't -- marlena : stay away from my daughter ! hershey 's spreads . kate : okay . fine . but incidentally , i 'd move that urn before one of those kids knocks it over and spills ej all over the carpet . marlena : the children are napping . and , kate ... when sami wakes up , i 'd like it if you were n't here . i mean , could -- could you just get a room at the salem inn for tonight ? kate : no . i 'm coming back here to sleep in my own bed in the master suite , as usual . marlena : [ scoffs ] [ exhales ] abe : you know , we 're on this case full - time , chad . before stefano does anything about a reward , let me run it past the d.a . chad : what 's the problem ? abe : well , it 's no problem , necessarily . it 's just that sometimes a big reward can make a ... circus out of a case . chad : all right , well , i get it . abe : you know , chad , uh ... if i 'm out of line , here , just say so . and i know that you and ej have been at odds lately , so i hope that 's not making you feel guilty . i mean , sometimes people will -- chad : i 'm fine . really . kristen : i 'll admit that i was a little surprised when daniel and i became close , because of the whole sit -- daniel : we 're not close . kristen : oh , we 're a little close . because of the john situation . but you know what ? i have learned something from my brother 's passing . you just have to seize the moment . you have to grab any happiness that you can , right ? nicole : what the hell is it with you , kristen ? kristen : oh , my god . do you know what i just realized ? every single one of us standing here did whatever we had to do to save john . all of us . we did it . we saved john . oh , well , except for you , nicole . i 'm sure you were praying , though . you know what ? now that i think of it , you do n't really have to stay here if you do n't want to . i mean , you 're not really a part of the discussion , so -- nicole : okay , you know what ? that 's it . you 're gon na get what 's coming to you . daniel : okay , all right -- nicole : it might as well be right here , right now . daniel : okay , let 's go . let 's go talk outside . nicole : i am so sick of listening to you , i 've had it ! daniel : let 's go -- privately ! nicole : you 'd better be gone , kristen , when i come back . 'cause i am coming back for you . daniel : shh , come on . nicole : ugh . get off me . kristen : wow . i 'm kinda glad that we have this moment alone , you know ? nicole : look at that bitch , chatting it up with eric like nothing ever happened . he knows what she did . how could he let her anywhere near him ? kristen : it 's a very delicate situation . i 'm sure you can understand . i 'm not welcome in my father 's mansion , but i have so much sympathy for sami . would you please tell her how sorry i am ? eric : yes . kristen : it 's kinda weird , is n't it ? i mean , you and i having this quiet little talk ? eric : very . kristen : because of you -- and your generosity -- i was able to make sure that john got those drugs , you know ? eric : it was blackmail , kristen . kristen : look , i -- i understand that there 's tension here , but something good came from it , right , eric ? something good came from it . we brought john back . eric : true . kristen : right , thank you . i guess what i 'm asking you ... can you find it in your heart , maybe , to -- can we please just try to leave our problems in the past ? brady : i do n't think i was ever here sober . theresa : oh , sorry . um , i just thought we should go somewhere private , you know ? brady : no -- no -- no -- no , do n't be sorry . you said it was important , so ... theresa : yeah . brady , i thought about calling you like 100 times after your dad woke up and said that i was right , that you were n't to blame . brady : but you did n't . theresa : no . brady : why ? theresa : i thought you were gon na call me . i mean , why have n't you ? why are you still shutting me out ? abe : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . i need you to understand , mrs. laramie is gon na pick you up after your session , okay ? theo : okay , mrs. laramie . got it . abe : okay . theo : jordan ! see ? glider ! jordan : oh , wow ! that 's very cool , theo . theo : yeah , uncle chad gave me -- gave it to me . jordan : oh , awesome . theo : yeah , got ta go now ! jordan : okay , bye ! abe : [ laughs ] jordan : so , you saw chad . abe : yeah , in the park . jordan : how 's he doing ? abe : well it 's tough on him . i mean , he and ej had been quarreling lately . i did n't realize you knew him . jordan : well , actually , i just met him a little while ago . we 've sort of become friendly . abe : well , he could use a friend . definitely . chad : hey , you . kate : hey . chad : so have you been back to the house ? kate : yes ... marlena practically threw me out . chad : why ? were you hassling sami ? kate : i wish . she has screwed up -- forget it . chad : forget what ? kate : well , you know , i -- it 's nothing . i just really hate admitting when i 've done something wrong and someone else is right . and obviously it was not the right time to be hassling sami . not now . chad : so marlena was right ? [ laughs ] john : i know , i 'm not supposed to be doing this without supervision , but what can i say ? i just want to get out of here . and that 's what i want to talk to you about . look , i 've been thinking -- what 's going on ? is something wrong with brady ? marlena : no . not brady . ej . brady : theresa , listen . please do n't take this personally , okay ? i -- you -- you -- you have been wonderful through this whole thing . theresa : mm - hmm . brady : you 've been ... kind , you 've been -- you 've been patient . but i 've had a lot to process . i mean , this whole thing has been crazy . and sami 's going through hell right now , and i -- theresa : no , you 've been pulling away for a long time , brady . and i just -- i need to know ... do you believe what your father said ? brady : it does -- it does n't matter . what i bel -- theresa : well , i was n't protecting you , then . and i 'm not protecting you now , and neither is your dad . brady : why is this so important to you ? theresa : because -- because i just wanted to know if we 're ever going to be close again . i mean , even if it 's just as friends , because i need that , brady . i need to know if you still believe in me . kristen : i know we 're never gon na be friends . eric : no , we wo n't . kristen : but you know all that hatred you have towards me ? and all of the regrets that i have ? i mean , it just kinda eats a person up inside , do n't you think ? eric : you 're right . i 'm still carrying a lot of hatred . and maybe someday i -- maybe someday i can , but i 'm not there yet . i 'm definitely not there yet . maybe someday i can ... go back to what i 've been taught , and what i believe ... and finally let it all go . kristen : wo n't that just be the best day ? eric : kristen , it 's a goal . it 's more for me , not for you . kristen : i understand . i get it . i really do get it , eric . nicole : bitch . that woman 's going down . daniel : nicole , wait -- oh , my god . nicole -- nicole : what the hell are you two thinking ? kristen : nicole , my brother just died . can we please put off whatever it is that 's bothering you ' til another time ? i 'm feeling so lost right now . nicole : ahem . yeah , okay , fine , mm - hmm . kristen : thank you . nicole : mm - hmm . kristen : daniel , could i talk with you privately ? it 's really important . daniel : yeah , fine . let 's , uh , let 's do this now . kristen : okay . excuse me . eric : would you just look at that ? she snaps her fingers and he -- what 's going on between those two ? nicole : no clue , and i really do n't care anymore . what i care i care about is , what 's going on between you and kristen ? chad : um , did you see any of the kids ... when you were there ? kate : no . no , but apparently ej has been cremated . his urn was sitting in the middle of the living room like some macabre sculpture piece . chad : [ laughs ] kate : you know , i -- i ca n't imagine that sami did n't have better -- well , though , not sami , sami would n't have better taste -- that someone did n't have better taste . anyway , i have a meeting to get to . see you later . chad : take care . kate : yeah . chad : we 'll talk later . abe : hey , rafe . rafe : hey . abe : i went over ej 's phone records . the last call he got was from a disposable phone . rafe : uh - huh . abe : ca n't trace it . rafe : yeah , right , well , typical dimera . abe : so what 's up on your end ? rafe : well , i 'm beginning to doubt that this was a mugging . what 's ej doing in the park at night ? or the woods ? abe : well , it was nice weather . maybe he felt like taking a walk . if it was business , he would have had a bodyguard . rafe : right , a walk . anyway , i am checking ej 's payroll , but i 'm telling you , there 's more to this . jeremiah : hey . clyde : how 'd it go ? jeremiah : like leading a hog to mud . the cops 'll definitely find what they 're looking for . clyde : good . that , uh , miguel fella ... he 's , uh , turned out to be a real problem . jeremiah : he 's running scared ? clyde : yeah . if , uh , stefano dimera 's boys get a hold of him , he 'll crack like an egg . chad : [ sniffs ] [ scoffs ] you son of a bitch . eric : nicole , would you just relax ? look , kristen was just talking about herself , as usual , and then she was upset because of ej 's death . nicole : well , yeah . eric : listen , i know you must be grieving , too . nicole : [ exhales ] ej and i had started getting along , you know ? but it was n't all flowers and sunshine . eric : it 's understood . nicole : how about you ? you must have mixed feelings . ej absolutely knew what kristen did . he knew all along . eric : of course . nicole : well ? you would n't do anything , you would n't stick it to him , because of sami . eric : actually , ej and i talked a few days before his death . nicole : [ exhales ] eric : some things were clear . others maybe not . nicole : what are you saying ? oh , my god . you forgave ej ? daniel : and what -- what is all this garbage about us being close ? kristen : it 's not garbage . we 're practically partners . daniel : what -- are you out of your mind ? kristen : [ exhales ] it 's such a shame . you 're brilliant -- some of the time . the rest of the time , you 're just incredibly tedious . daniel : okay , i 'm done . i am done . you say what you have to say and then you leave , l -- kristen : okay . look , john ... we know that john was smashed over the head with a poker by theresa , correct ? daniel : correct . kristen : okay , and he lied about it , and said that brady was acting in self- defense . daniel : okay , we can only suspect so much . kristen : no , we do n't suspect it . i confronted it , i laid it all out there . daniel : yeah , he did n't come forward , did he ? obviously . kristen : [ sighs ] he knows what really happened , and so do we . but he 's incredibly stupid . he hates me so much , he thinks that lying is gon na protect brady . daniel : mm , he might not be too far off . kristen : do n't be stupid like he is , please . theresa 's the only threat . she 's the only threat , and you know it . she 's the only threat . daniel : look , if john does n't openly say that , specifically -- kristen : you know what ? i have a solution . daniel : okay . kristen : are you interested ? daniel : [ exhales ] all right , come on , bring it . kristen : you 're his best friend . if you told him the truth , he would listen to you . so if you care about brady , then you 'll do it . if you do n't , and theresa ruins his life -- which she will -- it will be on you . brady : you want to know what i 'm feeling ? i 'll tell you ... what i 'm feeling . you and john could both be protecting me . because you both care about me for very different reasons . that 's how i feel . theresa : what -- so , we 're both lying so you wo n't feel guilty ? [ laughs ] that is so out there , brady . i mean , john and i do both care about you . and that 's why we 're telling you the truth . and ... it is really important to me that you know that . brady : why ? theresa : because , the most important thing is , brady ... deep down , you need to know that -- that you did n't do anything wrong , and i 'm not lying to protect you now , and i was n't lying then . i - i mean , look , i do know why you think i 'm probably lying , because you think that i -- i want something , and ... [ exhales ] and i do . brady : well , then let 's hear it . theresa : i just -- i -- i want us to start over . chad : it 's dusty in there . oh , right , you -- you are the dust . [ chuckles ] what ? oh , you thought i came here to show respect . [ chuckles ] no , see , you were a rotten brother . everything was always about you . and even when you did something good , you -- you -- you would work it so you would be the star at the top of the tree . well guess what ? there are people dancing in the streets right now because you 're dead , because -- because you did n't care who you hurt or who you stole from or who you betrayed or who you manipulated . [ panting ] [ sniffs ] yeah . it was n't supposed to end like this . marlena : sami just loved him . she 's devastated . i know how it feels to lose the man you love and think you 'll be alone with nothing but regrets the rest of your life . [ exhales ] sorry , uh , it 's been a very emotional day . um , you -- you wanted to , uh , talk about something ? john : [ sighs ] it can wait . eric : i want you to know that forgiving ej was not easy . but if i could n't somehow find a way to do that -- for sami 's sake , but mainly for my own -- i might not ever get my life back . nicole : fine . okay , sami is your sister . and ej is dead . but kristen ? seriously ? the way her hands were all over you ? eric : okay -- nicole : frankly , it looked like you were about to do a lot more than forgive . eric : nicole , you know that 's not true . nicole : how could you even talk to her ? eric : because she was -- listen , i do n't even trust kristen . it 's the same way it was with ej , but i have to try to find a way to get beyond that . i have to try to do this for me . nicole : wow . eric : and let 's not forget that kristen is responsible for bringing john back . what i did for my mother is something that i had to do . nicole : i do n't freaking believe this . eric : and now my job , from now on , is to take care of myself . nicole : i do not believe this ! ej knew kristen drugged you , and you forgave him . kristen raped you ... and you are working on forgiving her . but the one person -- the only person who loved you , you ca n't forgive ? you ca n't forgive me ? kristen : what kind of a man are you , hmm ? i mean , deep down , where it counts , what kind of a man are you ? do you only deal with facts ? or sometimes do you deal with feelings ? you know , i think that you are a very caring man . that you would go to great lengths to help someone that you love . daniel : you are just pulling out all the stops , are n't you ? hmm ? oh , yeah , that 's right . you are . but guess what ? i still wo n't help you . 'cause i 've been watching you , kristen , for a long time . and you are good . you are so smart , so savvy . you could manipulate a stone . now if you get the chance , you 'll turn brady around and get him right back where you want him . kristen : you know , this is not about me . why ca n't you get that through your head ? this is not about me . daniel : oh , no -- no . it 's about brady , sure it is . it 's so old that it creaks . yeah . you ... you need to know something . that maybe you can get brady to care , and do whatever you want . hell , he was so in love with you , he was totally blind . but see , look . that does n't work with me . no . because i see just fine . kristen : okay , then . i guess you 're gon na let theresa ruin your best friend 's life , huh ? it 's really too bad . you 're gon na regret it . you really will . daniel : yeah ? kristen : and so will brady . brady : theresa , look -- theresa : no , i -- i 'm not -- i 'm not saying that we should get married , again , or anything , um ... it 's just ... look -- look , when kristen threatened me , i - i was scared to death , and it made me realize , though , how much you mean to me . how much i really care about you . look , and i know that you thought that , for me , it was probably about the really great sex and the wild times and the booze and the drugs , but ... it was n't . it was about you . you really helped me , brady . you 've helped make my life better , and ... i do n't know , now i just -- i want to help you . and -- and maybe i already have . maybe me telling everyone that you did n't do anything wrong helped , but ... i just know that all the bad times , they 're ... in the past . so , i thought maybe we could ... sort of , start over . brady : i - i got ta -- i should go . theresa : no -- for what ? to see who , kristen ? brady : no . no , nobody , all right ? no one . theresa : do you really have to go ? abe : so you 're not buying that this was some druggie who did n't know what he was doing . rafe : well , does a druggie make sure that there are no footprints , no dna anywhere ? hmm ? [ phone ringing ] rafe : detective hernandez . secure the scene , get forensics on it . okay . well , we just got a break . clyde : listen , i told miguel he 's gon na take a little trip down to see poplar bluff . jeremiah : then that boy 's gon na get to see some sweet country . clyde : yeah . jeremiah : now where you want me to hide him down there ? clyde : you remember where your granddaddy grew soybeans , just off 62 ? jeremiah : uh - huh . clyde : well , that 's real good soil . why do n't you hide him there ? nice and deep . chad : you were n't supposed to die . [ sniffs ] we were supposed to work things out . [ crying ] eric : that 's right . i do n't forgive you . nicole : why ? why ? you can forgive kristen and ej and stefano , but not me ? why ? eric : because , nicole , you 're different . nicole : why , because i loved you ? eric : because what you did makes it unforgivable . you were my friend . you were my love . you were the one person that i trusted more than anyone , and you betrayed me . nicole : no . eric : yes , i hate you . but i hate myself for not being able to try and at least forgive you . it 's something that will never happen . nicole : [ crying ] kristen : to hell with you , daniel . i do n't need you . one of these bitches is gon na help me . are n't you , girls ? whether you know it or not , whether you like it or not , i am gon na break theresa donovan . and i 'm gon na watch her fall . just like that . okay , then . you 're obviously gon na let theresa ruin your best friend 's life . it 's too bad . you 're gon na regret it . and so will brady .

[ cell phone chimes ] eduardo : eve ? evie ? you did n't hear me calling your name ? eve : i -- i heard my phone ping , you know , letting me know i had a message . for a minute there , i -- when i heard that sound , i thought , you know , maybe ... eduardo : you thought it was paige ? eve : it was just the phone company letting me know how much they were gon na take out of my checking account for this month 's bill . eduardo : i 'm sorry . eve : [ sighs ] well , i just wonder how long it 's gon na take for it to really hit me that i 'm never gon na hear that phone bing with a text saying , `` hey , mom , you want to hook up for some coffee ? `` you know ? eduardo : it 's great that you had that with her . when i found out that arianna had died , i realized i ... did n't even know what she looked like anymore . i always knew that i 'd pay for what i did to my children . i knew that wherever they were , they probably hated me and that i deserved it . but it did n't occur to me that my punishment would be to outlive them . eve : well ... i guess your conscience is clear now , right ? i mean , you paid for half of paige 's funeral expenses , and you put up 100 grand , you know , as a reward to bring chad dimera in , and now he 's in custody and in a coma , so ... when are you leaving , eddie ? eduardo : i 'm not . i 've decided to stay in salem . adrienne : whoa . hi , kayla . kayla : i know . i know . adrienne : i ca n't believe it . kayla : i know . adrienne : not will . kayla : so surreal . adrienne : and i 'm so worried about sonny . i know he 's thinking that if he had n't left for paris that he would have kept will from -- kayla : you know what ? you know what ? i 'm worried about you . adrienne : me ? why ? kayla : yes , because i gave you your test results back , and you have the brca-1 gene mutation like your mother , and honestly i thought that i would have heard back from you by now . adrienne : ah ...

[ monitor beeping ] sami : you wake up ! you wake up , you little bastard ! you wake up right now and you tell me what it was like to murder my son ! you and will were friends . you sat there at my kitchen table doing homework together , and i know how you like your damn pancakes . who are you ? what turned you into this ? it 's not like i do n't know . i know how this happened . i know when you were playing video games with will and talking about girls , you did n't know you were a dimera . you did n't know what stefano dimera was capable of ... that he would use you to get even with me for taking sydney and johnny away from him . and i know how he did it too . stefano has a million different ways of letting his sons know they are n't real men like he is . but ej was different . ej fought back . he became his own man . and he and i found true love , the kind that lasts forever . this is n't gon na stop you ! the cops just ca n't do anything , can they ? they have to treat you like you 're innocent until proven guilty , and i promised my son justice ... if i have to do it with my bare hands . i 'm sorry , chad . but i really am doing you a favor . eduardo : watching my daughter lowered into the ground opened my eyes to how much i 've thrown away . i look at rafe , and i think , you know , maybe my son will give me a chance . i want that chance . i ca n't do anything for paige now . maybe there 's still something i can do for my first family . i mean , i do n't know , but i 'm gon na see . eve : and you think the hernandez clan is just gon na welcome you back like you 've been off fighting a war or something ? eduardo : yeah , maybe not . maybe they 'll never forgive me , but if i do n't try to make up for what i did to them , i 'm not gon na be able to live with myself . paul : i thought the only piece from your past that you did n't know about was me . john : no , my early life was even more complicated than that . get you something to drink ? paul : no , no , thanks . i ca n't stop thinking about will . this is so bad . john : son , this is as bad as it gets . paul : yeah . i mean , i ca n't tell you how guilty i feel . if i 'd never come to salem , sonny and will would have been together , and that little girl would n't have lost her father . john : no , no , no , let me tell you something . if you never came to salem , chances are , sonny never would have got the blood he needed from the stabbing , and he would have died . paul : yeah , but still ... john : will died because he got in the way of a serial killer . the only person who bears the guilt for that is chad dimera . we know that now . adrienne : frankly , i 'm just -- i 'm finding this whole thing kind of hard to process . kayla : i know . well , there 's a lot of things that are going on right now . adrienne : no , but i 'm fine . you know , my mammograms are fine . in fact , there 's part of me that kind of wishes i did n't know . sonny ? sonny . [ sobs ] gabi : i , uh -- i just thought it would make things easier on sami and sonny if somebody else got will 's things . and rafe says that it might have something to do with evidence , and i really do n't know a lot about that . justin : forensics has got everything they need from the apartment , so they do n't need anything else . so if you want to go back there and do whatever you need to do , it 's fine by me . gabi : oh , thank you . thank you . justin : is it okay if i still think of arianna as my granddaughter ? gabi : why would n't you ? of course you can . sonny is one of arianna 's daddies . of course . justin : great . thank you . gabi : are you prosecuting chad ? justin : oh , of course i am . i ca n't bring will back to you , but i will make sure that chad spends the rest of his life in prison . marlena : god , sami ! sami : no , mother ! marlena : stop it ! stop it ! sami : no , no , please -- please do n't -- no , no ! no , you ca n't ! marlena : you ca n't do it . you ca n't do this . you ca n't do this . you ca n't do it . look . stop this right now . you ca n't do this . you ca n't do it . it wo n't solve anything . sami : it will make him pay for what he did . marlena : no . you know what ? listen to me . stop talking like that . there 's a policeman right outside this door . i ca n't even believe that he let you in here . sami : i told him that my father was the police commissioner and that he had said it was okay . marlena : oh , great . your father would like to see you . he says you wo n't answer his calls , and now i know why . step away . sami : is he alive ? marlena : [ exhales sharply ] he 's alive . he 's alive . sami : you would have to walk in . marlena : sami ! stop this . stop this . sami : i do n't need a lecture from you about how it wo n't bring will back , okay ? can you maybe please just not do that ? marlena : you have three children who need you very much right now . sami : what about my first ? what about my son ? what does he need ? what should i be doing for him ? because my son is gone . and do n't tell me you 've never wanted revenge against stefano , because i 've been there , and i 've heard you say it . marlena : i know about revenge . and what i know is that it never gives you the comfort that you think it 's going to give you . sonny : all right , ma . ma , i ca n't breathe . adrienne : why did n't you tell me you were coming back ? when you did n't return my phone calls , i ... honey , i did n't know what to think . kayla : sonny , i , uh ... you know , i feel so awful about will . he was more than just a nephew to me . sonny : i know . kayla : i 'm glad to see you , though . i 'm sorry it 's under these circumstances . sonny : you know , i was -- i was planning on coming back here before this happened . adrienne : you were ? sonny : will left me this message . and i listened to it over and over again . i started thinking , `` what the hell am i doing here ? `` i realized i still loved him and i needed to be here with him and arianna . adrienne : honey . sonny : but now i got to tell my two - year - old daughter that she 's never gon na see her dad again . adrienne : i know . kayla : you know what ? i am going to leave you two . you need some alone time . sonny : thank you for everything . kayla : if you need anything -- i mean it , a babysitter -- call me , all right ? anything . and you too . adrienne : i 'll be in touch . baby . oh , baby . oh . eduardo : me deciding to become a father to these children that i let my ex- wife raise all by herself ... i suppose you think that makes me a hypocrite , right ? eve : i would have said that to you before . but now i know how important it is to keep your children close . you just -- you never know . now , hey , i just -- i feel -- i feel sorry for you because you missed it . you missed all that time , all that time ... with that beautiful , loving , smart child we made . eduardo : that 's very generous of you . eve : i got to piece my life back together , whether i want to or not . truth is , i 'm just tired of all the anger . paul : so this is the guy you 're trying to find ? john : yep . paul : may i ask what you meant about this kid being a missing piece of your past ? john : the kid in that picture is me . you know , you and i are just getting to know each other . i 'm really not sure you 're ready for this story yet . paul : i 'm a part of you . i have to know . john : you 're right . especially since you are one of the main reasons i 'm back on this search . sami : you . marlena : no , sami , no , no , no . stefano : hello , samantha . marlena . i 'm so sorry about william . sami : take your phony sympathy and you can shove it . marlena : sami . sami . stefano : you want to -- sami : i can tell you right now , if your son manages to wiggle out of this , i will kill him myself and maybe you next . justin : where is he ? sonny : hey , dad . justin : sonny . i 'm so sorry . oh , god . [ sighs heavily ] sonny : i ca n't believe the way i ended things with will . justin : you were just trying to put everything -- these -- these last few months behind you and heal . i mean , it 's -- it 's understandable . sonny : i hope that 's what it was . adrienne : honey , you should have had more time together . sonny : but i did n't . now he 's gone . i mean , how am i supposed to live with that ? daniel : kayla , hey . i 've been leaving you messages since i found out . kayla : yeah , i really have n't had a chance to call anybody back . daniel : i know . i understand . these young kids with so much to offer . it 's a lot . kayla : i know . daniel : yeah . but , um , i heard about your mom . she 's been readmitted ? how 's she doing ? kayla : [ exhales sharply ] daniel , it 's just -- it 's been awful . she was talking to my father like he was still alive , and she did n't even know my name . but luckily , she 's pulled out of it . daniel : really ? that 's -- that 's great . kayla : yeah , she seems like her old self . for now , anyway . daniel : is there something you 're not telling me here ? kayla : yeah . it 's , um -- it 's something that i need to tell a colleague who is also a friend because it needs to stay between us . daniel : of course , yeah . kayla : we got information about an experimental drug from a doctor who 's developed it in peru . bo found him , and it 's been known to reverse memory loss . daniel : but bo 's been gone a long time . how do you know about it ? kayla : he only contacted victor . and he just said the name of the drug and the doctor , and then victor tracked it down . daniel : wow , well , you said your mom 's back to her old self . is that because of the drug ? kayla : look , i know how unethical this is . daniel : okay , i - i do n't want to hear the details . i just want to know that your mother 's doing better because of the medication . she 's back to her old self , right ? kayla : seems like it . i just want you to know that that drug wo n't be listed on the chart . daniel : well , i 'm glad you told me about it . so how 's , um -- how 's your mom doing with will ? does she -- does she even know ? kayla : i have n't told her yet . daniel , i just saw sonny . he 's just -- he 's just devastated . and sami , what , she lost ej , what , like , a year ago ? and now will ? daniel : i know . come here . kayla : honestly -- honestly , i just -- why do these things happen to people ? marlena : you know , honey , sometimes it 's easier to feel enraged than to feel the pain of a loss . sami : but will 's not lost . he was murdered . will has a -- had a husband and a daughter and a family who loved him . and that did n't matter at all to the bastard who killed him because he 's a dimera . after all this time , it 's still them . and i just have to wonder who 's next . and i wonder if it will be allie because she 's not one of theirs . and you wonder why i 'm angry ? marlena : i 'm not concerned because you 're angry . i 'm concerned because you 're not expressing it . i 'm concerned because sometimes i look at you and -- and i think you 're feeling hollow . i think you 're not having any feelings at all . sami : i 'm your daughter . i 'm not your patient . you said all these things to me when i lost ej . you did n't change me then , and you are not going to change me now . and you just have to let me do this my own way . marlena : sami , no , please . please , please , do n't go . i do n't want to be your therapist . i just want to be your mother . and all -- all the problems with dimeras , i feel like it 's because of john and me . and the odd thing is that you and i have exactly the same reaction to it . sami : you go hollow too ? marlena : sometimes i ca n't ... bear the thought of all the pain of losing someone i love . john : i 'm gon na try to keep this to the point . when i first came to salem , i did n't know who i was or where i came from . i was simply referred to as the pawn . that was my identity . paul : are you kidding me ? who would do this ? john : well , i was brought to salem by an man named ilya petrov . paul : so this guy petrov , he -- he kidnapped you ? john : he worked for stefano dimera . paul : dimera ? like chad dimera ? john : father and son . paul : oh , my god . and what did this dimera guy do to you ? john : well , among other things , he programmed me to do whatever he wanted . paul : i ca n't believe this . i mean , who 'd do that ? and how did you survive ? i mean , how are you the person that you are now ? john : now , that 's easy . i had the good luck of meeting marlena . and she helped me find the strength to fight back . paul : but you still do n't know your real name . how does this picture play any part of the story ? john : well , years later , during one of my searches , i found out that a family by the name of alamain ... they adopted me as a toddler . they named me forrest . i 've had some meetings with family members over the years , and i found out that their young son forrest supposedly drowned in a swimming pool accident . paul : so they faked his death ? john : yeah . years later , they dug up the coffin , and it was just weighted down with sand . paul : so what happened to forrest ? john : well , that 's what i 'm trying to find out . i learned that the man who brought me to salem , ilya petrov , was a teacher at the winterthorne academy in vermont . i 'm trying to find out if maybe that 's where he crossed paths with forrest . the woman you saw me with , her name is louise ransil . she was also a professor there at that time . so she has agreed to dig up whatever she can on petrov and find out if forrest actually was a student there . paul : man . it really sounds like you went through hell . you sure that you want to learn the details ? john : i need to know . paul : i 'm really glad that you told me all this . john : yeah . i hope i 'm doing the right thing . paul : you know , mom said so little about you when i was a kid . i used to imagine what you were like . sometimes i pictured you as an astronaut . sometimes you were a shortstop . john : i like that one . paul : [ chuckles ] and then i met you . and you turned out to be better than anything that i dreamt up . i hope that when you find out who your parents were , you get half as lucky as i did . sonny : i 've never gone through anything like this in my life . i did n't know that i could feel this much hurt . justin : how could you know ? you 're so young . adrienne : too young to be going through something like this . sonny : what am i gon na do ? adrienne : honey , honey , you 're gon na find a reason to go on . justin : like arianna . adrienne : exactly . oh , honey , and eventually -- eventually ... you 're gon na learn to live with the pain . you look so tired . do you want to lay down for a little bit ? do you want me to make you something to eat ? sonny : [ exhales deeply ] no . there 's something i need to do . so if you do n't mind , i think -- i think i 'm gon na go do that . adrienne : okay . [ sobbing ] daniel : why , uh -- why do n't you go home and i 'll cover for you ? kayla : no , you know , i want to stay close with my mom , and besides , if i go home , i 'll just be staring at the wall , driving joey crazy , and fighting with steve . daniel : oh , things are still bad there ? kayla : well , let 's just say that family is complicated . what else do you got ? daniel : well , there 's work , friends . kayla : yeah , you 're right . but there 's nothing like family . marlena : you know , when i first heard about will , i went straight into denial . i thought , `` this is ridiculous . this just does n't make any sense . this killer -- this -- this killer is targeting women . and will is young , and he 's strong , and he would have fought . he would have fought . `` i - i just felt so indignant . sami : i know that one . marlena : and then i realized , of course , that ... well , that is what happened . and i ca n't compartmentalize things . i - i ca n't just say , `` oh , well , i 'll just think about that tomorrow , `` although , you know , that 's really what i wanted to do . i just want -- and i said to myself , you know , `` i - i thought i 'd lost john so many times , and he always came back . `` sami : but will 's not coming back . marlena : i know . it 's like a punch in the gut . sami : and that 's what you want me to feel ? you want me to feel doubled over , powerless ? marlena : i think that 's all you can feel . because he was your son , your little boy , yours and lucas ' . he was my grandson . sami : that 's right , he was those things . and he 's not anymore . and we have to live with that , all because the son of stefano dimera decided to kill him . because that 's what stefano does . stefano kills everything that 's good . paul : did you say winterthorne academy ? john : yeah , why ? paul : a guy i used to room with in triple - a , i think that 's where he said he went . john : well , if you roomed with him in the minors , he went to winterthorne way after i did . he could n't have known petrov . paul : yeah , but he said that he hated going to boarding school but it was a family tradition . his father went there too . he 'd probably be around your age , right ? john : you still stay in touch with this guy ? paul : not for a while . he plays for the cubs now , though . i mean , if you want , i can -- i can reach out to him . john : yeah , thank you . i would appreciate that . paul : you do n't have to thank me ; you 're my dad . eve : hey , justin . justin : eve . how are you doing ? eve : i 'm holding up . it helps knowing that chad dimera 's been caught . justin : yeah . i hope that helps sonny too . i just left him . eve : i heard about will . it 's awful . gosh , and now you 're going through everything too . justin : yeah . not in the same way you are , but ... [ cell phone ringing ] justin : hold on . [ cell phone beeps ] eve : if you do n't mind , uh , i could buy you a cup of coffee or something stronger maybe . justin : we have to do that , soon , but i just realized that i have to deal with something that i ca n't avoid any longer . sonny : hi . gabi : [ sobbing ] stefano : go . go . go . wait -- wait for me outside , all right ? i 'm here . [ chuckles ] come on , papa is here . i do n't know if you 've ever eduardo : yeah , rafe , it 's your da -- it 's -- it 's eduardo . look , i , um -- i need to talk to you , so give -- will you give me a call as soon as you get this ? thanks . mr. larson ? eduardo : yeah ? would you care to make a statement about the capture of chad dimera ? eduardo : sure . uh , i 'm relieved . i - i would n't want any other family to have to go through what my ex - wife and i had to go through . thank you , mr. larson . eduardo : sure . and for the record , uh , my name 's not larson . it 's hernandez . sonny : [ sobbing ] is this where they found his body ? gabi : yeah . sonny : [ sobbing ] gabi : do you want to be alone ? sonny : [ sobbing ] do you mind ? gabi : no . [ sobbing ] no , i was just packing some things for arianna . i can -- i can do that later . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . sonny : i want to see her . gabi : yeah . anytime . anytime you want . anytime . okay . [ knock at door ] sonny : oh , gabi . [ door clicks shut ] adrienne : justin . i thought you had a meeting . justin : i canceled it . i had no business taking off after you told me that you needed to speak to me . adrienne : i was n't angry . this is n't easy to talk about . justin : what is it ? is it about where you and i go ? is it -- adrienne : no , no , no , no . no , it 's not that . it 's ... [ sighs ] no matter where we end up , justin , i 've loved you since i was 17 . you 're one of the most important people in my life . justin : why are you saying that ? adrienne : because i have a decision to make . [ exhales deeply ] and i realize that i ca n't make it until i tell you what i 'm dealing with . justin : what kind of decision ? adrienne : my mom called a couple of days ago . she has breast cancer . justin : is she gon na be okay ? adrienne : they think they caught it in time . justin : thank god . adrienne : um , they tested her for the breast cancer mutation gene . you know , the one that makes you more likely to have breast cancer . ovarian cancer too . and she has it . so she asked me to be tested too , and i have it . justin : adrienne -- adrienne : no , no . i - i was really upset at first , but , um , i 'm grateful i know now . you know , it 's really important , and it 's wonderful that they have those tests . justin : yes , it is . adrienne : so i have a decision to make . stefano : keep fighting , huh ? keep fighting , my son . please , please , please , do not give up , all right ? i can not lose another child . no . john : hey . marlena : oh , hi . john : where have you two been ? sami : i need a glass of water . john : how 's she doing ? marlena : not well . i 'll tell you about it later . john : anything i can do to help ? marlena : just be there for her . sami : i 'm gon na go get some rest . marlena : oh , uh , sami , oh , you know what ? i 'm so sorry , sweetie . um , i had sent this off to you , and then everything kind of got bounced back to me . i 've been holding on to it for you . sami : thanks . marlena : mm - hmm . sami : i 'm gon na just get some rest . marlena : of course , of course .

i mean , there 's no need to see any judge or anything . you and i , both , we 're reasonable people , right ? lucas : we are ? really ? you do n't have a reasonable bone in your body . bonnie : you know , there 's no reason to insult a person , lucas . lucas : i 'm just telling you like it is , bonnie . if you were `` reasonable , `` we would n't be in this situation right now , would we ? bonnie : oh , really ? i 'm not the reasonable one ? is that what you 're saying ? have you ever heard the phrase `` it takes two to tango `` ? lucas : if you 're referring to that one miserable night when we were together , i was n't `` tangoing `` at all . all right ? i was four sheets to the wind . i did n't even know what i was doing . i could n't even stand up . i had no time for tangoing . bonnie : well , you might not have been steady on your feet , but you were a live - wire between the sheets . wide awake and raring to go . lucas : i do n't even remember touching you . and i do n't want to talk about this anymore , okay ? bonnie : you 're the one who brought it up . lucas : i did n't bring it up . i was talking about the situation . i was n't talking about what put us in this situation ! bonnie : fine ! fine . fine , fine . if it was such a miserable memory then i promise , i swear i will never ever bring up the night we made wild , passionate love , where you very slowly and methodically undressed me and then i very slowly and methodically undressed you . lucas : all right . bonnie : no , and then ... and then you caressed me , putting your hands all over my body and telling me that i was the sexiest , most beautiful woman you ever had the pleasure to -- yes . lucas : enough . enough ! bonnie : various and very naughty and very pleasurable things lucas : enough , all right ?

i need a lawyer because i am suing you for full custody . because you 're unreliable , you 're untrustworthy , and you 're crazy as a bat . and i 'm not letting you anywhere near that baby until we have our day in court . how do i know you 're not gon na run off and pull one of your genius moves again , huh ? mimi : our baby 's daddy is irrelevant . all that matters is he 's not lucas . his name is n't on the birth certificate . so unless he decides to take this to court , he 's got no legal claim on my kid . bonnie : neither do i . mimi : well , we 're not gon na give him a chance to find that out . first , you go meet him , just like you planned , and take my daughter back . nice and easy . bonnie : mm , i do n't do nice and easy . mimi : you 're right . that would be suspicious , so you show up and rip my child from his arms . then once she 's back in mine , i 'll get the hell out of this town and so will you in the opposite direction . bonnie : mm , he 'll think he 's following the baby . mimi : when really he 's just off on a wild goose chase . you lead him around the world and back while i raise my daughter in peace . bonnie : so how long does this goose chase last ? mimi : as long as it takes . what do you care ? you got your freedom . bonnie : hold on a second . hold on , are you saying ... are you saying that i 'm never gon na see my grandbaby again ? mimi : that 's exactly what i 'm saying . bonnie : i would never do that . you have my word . lucas : oh , i have your word . that 's very reassuring . no problem . that 's 'cause anyone who 's ever met you knows your word is your bond , right ?

lucas : what , are you crazy or something ? you kidding me ? you think i 'm stupid enough to leave you alone with that baby ? mimi : i mean it . lucas can forget getting custody of that baby . chloe : and how are you going to stop it ? i mean , it 's not gon na be difficult to make a case against bonnie being unfit to raise a gerbil , let alone a baby . she 's a con artist , a criminal , and you are living proof of her mothering skills . mimi : wow . you 're even more of a bitch than you were in high school . chloe : oh , i 'm sorry , did i offend you ?

bonnie : but that 's a whole ' nother thing . please , lucas , oh , my god . i mean , what we 're talking about here is a child , a precious child , and damn it , you ca n't take my baby away from me . lucas : i ca n't take your baby away ? listen to you . will you hear yourself ? i tell you you 're not a fit mother and what do you say ? i ca n't take your baby away ? you do n't care about her , do you ? all you care about is yourself . bonnie : sweetheart . lucas is a wonderful man . and he 's smitten already . baby bonnie 's gon na be just fine . mimi : stop calling her that ! it 's not her name , and she 's not your baby or lucas ' ! she 's mine ! bonnie : just please do n't tell him that . bonnie : you have to give me that baby , or mimi 's gon na kill me . lucas : what 's mimi got to do with this ?

mimi : and he has other kids . chloe : yeah , who are , thankfully , teenagers , and no risk of being raised by that lying , scheming , slutty ex - con . lucas is doing what he needs to do to protect his daughter from her own mother . your mother . mimi : look . i know you and i did n't get along -- chloe : oh , i remember . mimi : but i thought we got past that . chloe : you 're kidding . mimi : and i know my mom is n't perfect -- chloe : well , i do n't know if `` is n't perfect `` summarizes it all . mimi : chloe . you 're a mother . you know what it means to hold a baby in your arms . those eyes that look back at you like you hung the moon . it 's like you 're their whole world and you can do no wrong even though you know that 's the furthest thing from the truth . a new baby is a second chance at your own life , another chance to get it right . you and lucas do n't want to take that away from someone . you do n't want to come between a little baby girl and her mother . please talk to lucas , get him to change his mind about this . chloe : you 're right , i am a mother , and if someone tried to take parker from me , i would die . mimi : so you 'll get him to change his mind ? chloe : sorry , mimi , i just -- i ca n't do that . and we 're not talking about any mother . we 're talking about bonnie lockhart . you 'd know , more than anybody , what kind of mother she is . mimi : well , i do n't think you 're in any position to judge . belle told me how you stole that baby from nicole . you even tried to breast feed the poor little thing , ugh , how sick is that ! chloe : okay , i can see that we have n't got past hating each other . now listen , i 'm not gon na be your victim anymore and i 'm not gon na let you bully me out of doing the right thing . and you 're not a mother , so you do n't understand . so i 'm not going to stand here and waste my time talking to you about this . i 'm gon na take this little girl back to her father where she belongs , and there 's nothing you can do about it . mimi : you 're wrong about that , ghoul girl . there is no way in hell you 're taking my kid . eve : so now brady knows exactly what we did . and the fact that i was trying to help does n't mean ... it does n't make a damn bit of difference to him because all he sees is me being the one who who made him lose tate . victor : why did you tell him anything at all ?

[ soft dramatic music ] eric : you do n't know the whole truth why nicole left . you 're still more than ready to judge her ? sami : yeah , i do n't need to know . you know why ? because everything to do with nicole is creepy and dangerous , and we should just go . eric : no . sami : are you kidding me ? nicole : you wan na know why i 'm here with xander ? because he blackmailed me into marrying him . yeah . i 'm married to the guy who kept me in a cage and taunted me with my baby 's life . sami : okay , well that does suck . but you had to know that xander was working with kristen . nicole : no . i try to stay as far away from xander as i can . i do n't ever rock the boat . eric : you do n't know that xander and kristen are working together . sami : they showed up at mom 's wedding . they both had guns . eric : he was n't after mom . he was after me . sami : oh , really ? so it 's just a coincidence ? just like it 's a coincidence that kristen has this address ? kristen : is that all you really care about ? hm ? helping sami ? what has she ever done for you ? or anybody else , for that matter . i know ... you knew i was listening to you when you were talking to your dad . you lied to me . you and me . all the promises of happiness together that we could have . brady : yeah . yeah , i played you , baby , but that 's just a page out of your own book . kristen : yeah , yeah , yeah . you betrayed me . you betrayed any sort of happiness we could have . brady : i 'm sorry . had to be done . kristen : [ chuckles ] yeah . so am i .

rolf : as i said , i am not here for you but for eric . i really need to speak with him immediately . nicole : well , you 're out of luck , eric 's not here . eric : hey . sarah : oh ! sorry . hi , sorry . eric : it 's okay . sarah : i should look where i 'm going . eric : really , it 's okay . sarah : um , are you visiting julie ? eric : yes , and because of a patient i see at the horton center . he came in because of a panic attack . sarah : oh . um , well , then , i will let you get to it . eric : it 's okay . i got time , you know . he 's visiting his doctor . sarah : oh . eric : are you okay ? sarah : sure , yeah . w - why do you ask ? eric : why do i ask ? you look a little pale . sarah : no , i 'm -- i 'm fine . eric : you do n't look fine . you 're shaking . sarah : no , it 's -- it 's okay , really . um , i will see you around . eric : hey , wait , sarah . i 'm worried about you . sarah : you are ? eric : of course i am . sarah : if i , um -- if i seem different to you , there 's a reason . tony : you know , i did n't really know my brother stefan , and sadly , i never will , but a dimera needs to take his place . anna : well , what about kate ? tony : well , as soon as kate is well enough and able to resume her duties , i 'll step aside , i 've told shin that . and then you and i will go to europe . we 'll travel . we 'll enjoy our lives . we 'll make up for all those lost years . anna : so you settled all of this with shin without even talking to me about it ? victor : can i ask who is the target of this fury ? kate : shin . he called to tell me that he appointed tony dimera as temporary ceo . victor : tony ? i thought tony was n't interested in running the family business . kate : exactly . exactly . that 's what galls me so much . he 's never been interested in the business . victor : well , then why 'd he take it ? kate : oh , my god , he took it because he has nothing . he knows he 's going to look weak if he continues to sponge off anna . victor : well , i must say , i 'd much rather deal with a reluctant tony than match wits with you . kate : okay , well , do n't get used to it because i 'm going to be out of here and back at the helm in no time . victor : well , then the timing for my visit could n't be better . i have a proposition for you . sarah : the reason that i look like hell is -- eric : i did n't say you look like hell . sarah : no , i 'm -- i 'm saying that i look like hell because that 's how i feel . eric : hey , what -- what 's going on ? sarah : i was here when they brought stefan in with the gunshot wound , and i was a part of the team that removed his heart after gabi agreed to donate it to julie . eric : i heard . sarah : i was in surgery for hours , and now kayla and her team are in the process of transplanting the heart in julie . eric : no wonder you 're exhausted . why do n't i just take you home ? sarah : no , thank you . um , i just -- i 'm gon na stick around for a bit . eric : are you sure ? sarah : mm - hmm , yeah . i have , um , something to talk to kayla about . eric : ca n't that wait till tomorrow ? sarah : no , i -- i 'm afraid it ca n't because , um , every hour that -- eric : sarah ? sarah ? rolf : when will eric be back ? nicole : it 's hard to say . he had to check on one of his counseling patients . rolf : mm . in that case , i will stay until he returns . nicole : ca n't whatever you have to tell eric wait for another time ? rolf : i am quite certain that eric will want to hear what i have to say to him sooner rather than later . nicole : fine . well , eric 's not here . i am , so why do n't you just tell me what this is all about ? rolf : tell you ? nicole : eric and i do n't have any secrets , so just say what you have to say . rolf : well , why not ? you 're going to find out eventually . i just came from the kiriakis mansion , where i learned some very intriguing news . [ dramatic music ] 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 . brady : oh , i -- i understand . you think that kristen manipulated me into asking her to move in . marlena : well , kristen knows exactly how much leverage she has because of this child , and she will use it any way she can to get closer to you . brady : we 're gon na be living under the same roof , but we 're not sharing a room or anything . john : yeah , i know . let me ask you this , you think kristen is gon na be satisfied with a platonic relationship ? brady : dad , it does n't matter if she 's satisfied or not because i 'm setting the boundaries . do n't , i know that look between you two , i -- i will resist her . it 's not a problem . john : we 're not questioning your resolve here , son . it 's just that i think we all know just how far kristen will go to take advantage of a situation . marlena : how does victor feel about her moving in ? brady : well , granddad , he , uh -- he expressed his displeasure very clearly . john : yeah , and how was that ? brady : by threatening to fire me as ceo of titan . kristen : so you sent rolf to tell eric that sarah 's pregnant ? xander : yes . kristen : why ? xander : sarah 's threatening to leave town . i did n't want it to happen . i figured if -- if eric found out that sarah was having his baby , he 'd make her stay . kristen : yeah , but sarah 's gon na be upset with you for sharing her secret -- ah , so that 's why you arranged rolf to do the dirty work for you . xander : we made a deal . i offered him lab space at titan in return for dropping the bomb . kristen : all right , but if this was your plan all along , then why are you freaking out now ? xander : because it 's a terrible idea , and now i might lose sarah for good . eric : hey , here . small sips . sarah : thank you . eric : how are you feeling ? sarah : i 'm fine . i 'm sorry i fainted . eric : do n't apologize . you 've been on your feet working for hours trying to save julie 's life . sarah : yeah , i mean , i 've been in long surgeries before . eric : when 's the last time you 've eaten ? sarah : i do n't remember . eric : that 's not good . all right , so i 'm gon na go and get you something to eat , so promise you 're gon na stay right here until i get back . sarah : do i have a choice ? eric : absolutely not . i 'll be right back . nicole : you went to see brady ? rolf : i was visiting the mother of his child , actually . nicole : kristen 's still claiming she 's pregnant ? rolf : oh , it 's more than a claim . it 's a verifiable fact . ms. dimera is with child . nicole : oh , my god , poor brady . rolf : well , to the contrary , mr . black is quite enthusiastic about the impending birth , so much so that he moved ms . dimera to the kiriakis home to oversee her care . nicole : he moved kristen in ? is he out of his mind ? rolf : well , it 's a high - risk pregnancy . i offered my services , but they were declined . nicole : well , i ca n't imagine why . rolf : nor can i . nicole : okay , you 've shared your news . i will make sure eric hears about brady 's situation . i will reach out to brady later and tell him what a terrible mistake he 's making . it 's time for you to leave . rolf : yes , but this is not the news i came to share with eric . nicole : there 's more ? rolf : indeed . while i was at the kiriakis mansion , i stumbled across some information pertaining specifically to eric . hmm . perhaps i should show you . [ suspenseful music ] humira patients , you inspire us . tony : listen , when shin floated the idea of me being ceo of dimera , i was reluctant to accept , of course . i just wanted to focus all of my energies on you . anna : then what changed ? tony : i went to see kate in the hospital . she was incensed when she learned that i was offered the job . anna : ca n't say i blame her . tony : well , it 's not that she was just angry . she felt insulted that i was offered the job , of all people . anna : so ? tony : so ... it 's part of my legacy too , anna . i 've run this company before . it 's in my blood . anna : so you took this job to prove a point to kate ? tony : partly . but partly because i want to be my own man , a man that you 'd be proud to marry . victor : shin 's a bigger fool than i thought he was if he thinks he can replace you with tony , even temporarily . kate : well , once again an unprepared man takes the job of a very qualified woman . victor : yes , well , i appreciate your frustration , but this could be a big opportunity for you , kate . kate : okay , do you care to explain ? victor : well , you know how much i 've always admired your business acumen , but even when we were at each other 's throats , i marveled at your drive and your talent . kate : mm , well , at least someone does . victor : forget about dimera . come back to titan . kate : you know that i appreciate that offer , i really do , but i think i 've made it perfectly clear that i would never work under brady black . victor : well , you may not have to , not if i fire him . john : so victor 's making you choose between your career and your child . brady : uh - huh . what kind of person would i be if i did n't choose my kid ? certainly not the man you 've raised me to be . john : no . you 're a good man , and we 're proud of you , and just know that if this situation goes bad , we 're here . brady : i know you are , and i thank you for that . my only concern is that this baby comes into the world healthy . john : i know , i know , and we 're here to help any way we can . marlena : and maybe if we were able to talk this through , maybe i could help you with some alternatives . brady : i ca n't -- i 'm sorry . i ca n't right now . i 'm pressed for time . i have to get prenatal vitamins , and i have to get some other things to help kristen settle in , but i 'll talk to you later , okay ? john : all right . you 're thinking this is not gon na go so well , right ? marlena : right . xander : i thought once eric found out that sarah 's preggers , he 'd stop her from leaving town , but then i started imagining all the things that might happen next . i mean , what if -- what if eric finds out she 's having his baby , and he really does leave nicole , goes back to sarah ? kristen : that would be the end of any shot you ever had with her then . xander : it 'd be even worse than her leaving town . kristen : once again proving that you are not very good at thinking far ahead . xander : what if rolf goes rogue ? what if sarah somehow finds out that i 'm the reason eric knows about the baby ? i mean , she 'd hate me forever . kristen : oh , well . xander : give me rolf 's number , now . nicole : well , what is that ? rolf : ah , i 'm sorry , but the contents of this envelope are for eric 's eyes only . nicole : well , can you at least give me a hint ? rolf : well , i can tell you that he will be most grateful when he learns what is revealed inside . nicole : so it 's good news ? rolf : i believe he will consider it so . nicole : so could n't you just leave the envelope with me , and i will make sure eric gets it the minute he comes home ? rolf : time is of the essence . eric must get this . nicole : he will . you have my word . rolf : you are not to open this envelope . it 's for eric 's eyes only . nicole : i heard you . rolf : hmm . [ tense music ] eric : i was gon na go with a candy bar , but this seemed like a healthier choice . sarah : i mean , a candy bar would be much appreciated . eric : anything to keep you from fainting again , eat up . sarah : you know , i do n't think i fainted because of not eating . eric : what else could it be ? sarah : you know , surgeries like that , they 're not just physically grueling . they take an emotional toll too . you know , i 'm -- i 'm supposed to save lives , but i was walking into that operating room knowing that i was ending stefan 's . eric : that must have been awful . sarah : yeah , it was n't fun . eric : i know surgeons get a bad rap for playing god , but i really admire your humanity , your passion not just for your patients but everyone around you . sarah : thank you for saying that . eric : i never would have gotten through nicole 's death or taking care of holly if it would n't have been for your support . sarah : no , you 're giving me too much credit . eric : and you deserve every bit of it . i 'm very grateful to you . sarah : i 'm very grateful for the time i had with you and holly , and i 'm so glad that you both have nicole back . eric : i never would have gotten through anything without you helping to take care of us . i 'm never gon na forget how much we meant to each other during our time together . nobody can take that away , and i 'm sorry it could n't have turned out differently in the end . sarah : yeah . timing is funny . if only . [ somber music ] [ tense music ] kate : i thought that you were pleased with the job that brady was doing as ceo . victor : i was . kate : okay , so why would you be thinking about firing him ? victor : because he moved that psychopath kristen dimera into my house . kate : [ scoffs ] why on earth did he do that ? victor : because she 's carrying his spawn . kate : oh , or so she says . victor : oh , believe me , nothing would make me feel better than to find out she was lying , but in this case i 'm afraid she 's on the up - and - up . kate : hmm . so , um , how did he get into the mess in the first place ? victor : poor judgment . i told him if he brought her into the house , there 'd be consequences , but he would n't listen . well , it seems that he 's choosing kristen over his career . kate : no , victor , he 's choosing his child . victor : it 's the same difference to me . he ca n't be trusted anymore . kate : are you really sure about that ? because you 've been back and forth about brady for years . victor : maggie 's been trying to get me to change my mind , but it 's becoming clearer and clearer that brady 's useless now that she 's gotten her claws into him . kristen : take your hands off me . i 'm in a very delicate condition . do n't make me hurt you . xander : are you gon na help me or not ? kristen : yes , xander , i will help you , but you owe me one . xander : fine . just give me the number . kristen : i 'm gon na do you one better . i 'm gon na give you my phone . this way rolf will make sure to pick it up . [ line ringing ] [ phone rings ] rolf : ms. dimera , is everything all right ? xander : it 's xander . did you give eric the envelope ? rolf : no , i did not . xander : oh , thank god . just bring it back to me . rolf : i 'm afraid i ca n't do that . xander : what the hell do you mean , you ca n't ? rolf : mr. brady was not at home , i left the envelope containing the test results with nicole walker . xander : nicole has the results ? [ intense music ] anna : darling , i am already so proud that you are my man . do n't you know that ? tony : but think about how i feel . i do n't have a job . i do n't have money . i ca n't even afford to get my beloved a proper engagement ring . i ca n't even afford to even get my plane tickets . anna : but i have plenty of money . what 's wrong with me taking care of you ? tony : i 've been out of this world for so long , not well , depending on others to take care of me . i just -- i want to be able to take care of you . can you let me ? kate : your offer is tempting . victor : then say yes . kate : my place is at dimera . victor : dimera , where they put tony in your position ? kate : it 's a temporary arrangement until i 'm back on my feet , which , believe me , wo n't be long . victor : you really think that once tony gets a little taste of power , he 's gon na roll over and hand the company back to you ? kate : yes . he 's not going to have a choice . victor : there are ways to fight . kate : okay , i am aware . i am aware that even though tony did n't ask for the job , he is stefano 's son , and i know that kristen , now that she has immunity , will probably make a play too . victor : you 're forgetting about the widow dimera . kate : gabi . victor : she did marry stefan . she was ceo herself for a short period . she 's not gon na let go . kate : okay , let them come . let them all come , okay ? because i survived a bullet to the gut . i am not afraid to fight . victor : you never were . you almost died , kate . do you really want to waste your life in an endless battle ? would n't it be so much easier just to take brady 's position at titan ? [ door closes ] kristen : hi . brady : hi . kristen : you were gone a long time . brady : was i ? i , uh , ran into dad and marlena in the square . kristen : oh , do they know that i 'm living here with you ? brady : they do now . kristen : ah , i bet that was an interesting conversation . did they try talking you out of it ? brady : no , no , i told them it was a high - risk pregnancy and , uh , we 're gon na do whatever we have to do for the baby . kristen : i 'm glad you feel that way . brady : these are -- these are your prenatals , so you should probably start taking those right away . kristen : gladly , i mean , whatever 's best for the baby . uh ... what else do you got there ? brady : it 's -- the lady at the pharmacy recommended this , but it 's calming lotion . it 's got some lavender , elements in it , it 's -- probably keep you stress - free . i thought it might help . kristen : that is really sweet of you , thank you . brady : yep . [ tense music ] sarah : all right , all done . cleaned my plate . you satisfied ? eric : excellent . [ both laugh ] sarah : okay . you have successfully gotten me to eat . you are officially released from your babysitting duties . eric : i do n't need to be released . sarah : you should be spending your birthday with nicole . eric : you remembered . i mean , after everything you 've been through today , i -- sarah : of course i remembered . you know i was -- i 've been planning your birthday for months . eric : you -- you did ? sarah : yeah . i mean , i even got us tickets to `` hamilton `` in chicago because you said you wanted to see it . eric : sarah , i -- i do n't know what to say . sarah : oh , do n't worry about it . um , i sold them last week and made a really nice profit . [ both laugh ] eric : well , good for you . i hope you go buy yourself something nice . you know , it 's nice that we can be friends after everything . sarah : yeah . it 's nice . eric : i know things are awkward , and they will be for a while , but hopefully one day things will feel normal between us . sarah : i do n't think you have to worry about that anymore , eric . i 'm leaving salem . ( woman ) when you take align , anna : i love that you open doors for me and that you stand when ladies walk in the room . i adore your courtly manners most of the time . tony : mm . well , that 's who i am . that 's part of me , just like the dimera legacy is part of me . anna : you do n't owe your brother or your father anything . tony : yes , but i know that . and once kate gets her health back , she 'll resume her job . anna : yeah , you say that now , but i have been to this rodeo before , watching you get drawn into your family drama , and then suddenly nothing else matters . tony : ohh . anna . with you by my side , i promise everything 's gon na be different this time . you 're everything to me . and what i do -- well , everything i do is for you . [ gentle music ] victor : i can see that you 're conflicted . kate , i 'm offering you a chance of a lifetime , ceo of titan . no questions asked . no drama . at dimera you 'd be in the middle of a power struggle , and an ugly one at that . kate : victor , i have to do what 's best for my future . victor : and being the wise businesswoman that you are , i 'm sure you 'll come to the conclusion that my offer is the better one . kate : i appreciate the offer . i do . i 'm going to need a few days to think about it . victor : seems very likely there 'll be a void at the top of titan very soon , so i 'm going to have to act quickly . you have 24 hours before i offer the position to someone else . kate : [ sighs ] john : you know , ordinarily i do n't like the way vic operates , but -- marlena : but anything is better than having kristen move in . john : you got that right . it 's dangerous having her anywhere around . marlena : you know , you were so right . brady is such a good man , and he will do what is right for this child . i 'm just afraid of whatever plans kristen might have . kristen : did you buy something for the baby at gabichic ? brady : uh , no , no , um , actually for you . kristen : for me ? brady : yeah . kristen : it 's -- it 's beautiful . brady : well , it gets drafty in this house at night , and i know circulation 's important for the baby . i thought this would keep you comfortable , and so i got it . kristen : would you mind -- brady : yeah , yeah . it just goes just like that , yeah . kristen : thank you . brady : you 're welcome . look , i 'll -- i 'll see you at dinner . kristen : yeah . brady : i have to make some calls because i 'm likely out of a job as the ceo of titan , so i have to get on that . kristen : hey , hey . brady : yeah ? kristen : i 'm -- i am sorry about that , and i really am very sorry it 's because of me . brady : it 's ok -- it 's okay . it 's okay . we 'll -- we 'll figure it out .

[ stutters ] why would i be so petty ? there would n't be any point , not after what 's happened , not after what we 've lost . that poor child , his life was cut so tragically short ... who did n't have the opportunity to take a single breath deserves to be mourned for by both of his parents . just please tell me the truth . if i am his father , it is my duty to mourn his passing . nicole : ej , he deserves to rest in peace . ej : peace . do you have peace ? i do n't , and i think i 'm the only person who has any idea of the sort of pain that you 're going through right now . nicole : [ cries ] ej : nicole , this is the last thing i will ever ask of you . please . we loved one another , and we had a child together ... nicole : [ cries ] ej : and hearing the truth from you would be some small solace , for you as well , i think , to know that his life would n't be shrouded in some sort of lie . nicole , i 'm begging you , please , give this child in death the one thing he would 've had in his life , which is the love of his father . nicole : [ cries ] yes , ej , the baby was yours .

's office has agreed to a very generous plea bargain . probation and community service , no time served ? seriously ? justin : uh , your honor , if i could draw your attention to the attached affidavit from dr. kayla brady , chief of staff at the university hospital , attesting to the extenuating circumstances that caused my client to act out as he did . and detective hope brady is also willing to testify regarding mr. devereaux 's state of mind at the time -- judge pierce : do you have anyone who 's not related to the boy ? justin : uh , yes , i , uh -- judge pierce : that was a rhetorical question , counselor . mr. deveraux , maybe you should play the powerball , given your recent spate of good luck . you faced shoplifting charges , but they were dropped . then you were arrested for drug distribution , but you were underage by one day , and your ace lawyer got you off on a misdemeanor . and now your crimes of vandalism and assault and battery can be explained away by extenuating circumstances . how convenient . justin : your honor , i -- judge pierce : i think maybe it 's time for young jack patrick 's luck to run out . jennifer : justin , he has to accept the plea , does n't he ? judge pierce : no . in fact , i do n't . i would like to see this young man finally learn his lesson , and prison may be the only place that that is going to happen . kristen : i am being so insensitive . this must be somewhat humiliating for you and demoralizing , i would imagine . marlena : why would that be ? kristen : oh , come on , marlena , is n't it obvious ? i 've gotten everything i 've ever wanted . i mean , i am so happy . i 'm ecstatically happy . marlena : clearly , you are . kristen : by the way , have you spoken to john since he left town ? i mean , if you do , just give him my best , would you ? marlena : i would n't gloat if i were you . you have n't married brady yet . remember what happened last time you tried ? kristen : oh , that 's not very nice of you to bring that up right now . marlena : [ laughs ] well -- kristen : what do you think 's going to happen ? something 's just going to come out of the blue and destroy us ? it 's not gon na happen . because nothing can . nicole : well , maybe when you were looking through kristen 's purse , looking for your flash drive , you got hers instead . marlena : [ gasps ] and that 's what the robber must have been trying to get . nicole : exactly . marlena : oh , my gosh . that means there 's something on that drive she desperately does not want me to see . well , that 's what you thought before . but i 'm sure you 're right . i 'm sure nothing will stop you from marrying brady this time . nicole : i do n't have absolute proof yet . brady : ah . nicole : but i know it happened . brady : you do n't have absolute proof . do -- do you -- do you have any proof ? how do you know this ? nicole : she admitted it . brady : she came up to you and said that she cheated on me . nicole : n - no . she was talking to someone . i do n't know . she was on the phone . but she admitted it , and i was -- i was trying to find the proof before i brought it to your attention . brady : oh , you were going to bring it to my attention . nicole : but then you moved up the wedding date , and i - i could n't wait . i promise i will find the proof that you need ... brady : what are you doing ? nicole : if you just postpone your wedding . brady : why are you doing this ? this is what you do . you 're so predictable , nicole . you ca n't stand the idea that kristen and i are gon na be happy together , so you get desperate , and you make crap up . why do you do this ? nicole : wait , you think i 'm the one that 's lying ? brady : that 's what liars do . eric : [ sighs ] did , uh , did fay -- did she say where she was from , or maybe what she was doing at the capital ? martha : i do n't think she wanted anyone to know who she really was . eric : what do you mean , who she really was ? martha : well , she paid cash , would n't leave a credit card for the room charges , and then there was that disguise -- eric : disguise ? martha : well , you saw her , right ? eric : just briefly . martha : how many people do you see wearing sunglasses at night ? and then there was the bad accent and the wig . eric : do you think she knew somebody at the hotel ? martha : she must 've . and then , as soon as she disappeared , your friend nicole popped up -- oh , my gosh . eric : what ? martha : i never thought about this before , but they were both tall and thin and overly assertive , and ... i know this sounds far - fetched , but -- eric : but what ? martha : it 's almost as if fay taylor could have been your friend in disguise . of all the places in your house ... ej : chad , father was here earlier . chad : ugh . ej : look , i saw him in the chapel last night , and he was as devastated as i have ever seen him . chad : you did n't tell him about -- ej : the brain ? no , of course not . no . chad : thank you . if abigail ever found out that i was lying to cameron about it -- ej : he 's not on the protocol . he 's not taking any drugs . he does n't have a tumor . that is something you do n't need to worry about . chad ... i know that i induced you to move into the mansion under some duress . chad : mm . father gave you no choice . ej : still , it 's very important to me that you understand that i have your best interests at heart . i 'm your big brother . it 's my job to protect you . especially now that you 've saved my life . get some rest . justin : your honor , with all due respect , this agreement is acceptable to all parties . it would save the taxpayers thousands of dollars . judge pierce : not if mr. deveraux takes it on himself to go on another costly rampage . i understand that the defendant was upset by news that he 'd recently learned about his father , but that is no excuse for his behavior , which clearly began long before his upset . [ sighs ] however , i am willing to consider the plea deal with one additional stipulation . justin : what 's that , your honor ? judge pierce : that the defendant return home to live with his mother . i realize mr. deveraux is of the age of majority , but -- justin : we will agree to your stipulation , your honor . thank you . judge pierce : do n't thank me yet . marlena : i guess i should know that you ca n't beat a dead whore -- horse . horse . kristen : i 'm not dead , and i 'm not a `` whor - se `` either . but i do appreciate the general sentiment . what am i doing ? i have to get going . i got ta go to the florist before i meet with brady . have i told you how difficult it is to plan a wedding at the last minute ? anyway -- oh ! really ? nicole : brady , i am not making this up . and i know how hard it is to hear that the person you love is n't who you thought . brady : stop it . i 'm not gon na listen to this crap anymore . nicole : brady , please , please do n't -- do n't wind up like me . brady : i wo n't . i wo n't . because i have a lot of flaws , lot of 'em , but dishonesty 's not one of them . i 'm an honest man . and i ca n't believe you 're going to stand here in front of me and tell me that kristen lied to me when you are the one that ca n't handle truth , nicole walker . nicole : brady , please , would you just ... look at me ? look in my eyes and see that i am not lying to you . brady : i am looking into your eyes . nicole : you are my best friend . brady : you are not a friend ! friends are supportive . you are not a friend . eric : this is a recent picture of nicole . take a good look . do you think she and fay could have been the same person ? martha : i ca n't say for sure . but what do you think ? eric : i did n't really get a good look at fay . as i said , she seemed to want to keep her distance . martha : maybe because she did n't want you to recognize her ? eric : are you sure you never saw these two women together ? martha : not that i remember , no , but the more i think about it , the more i think fay and nicole are probably one and the same . 6 children , 44 years ... kristen : do n't have time for this . marlena : mm - hmm . kristen : oh ... maxine : well , what in the world 's going on here ? kristen : daniel let me use his office for a minute , and as i was leaving , i accidentally knocked these files off . maxine : just leave them . those could contain confidential patient information . kristen : oh . marlena : oh , maxine , i 'm sorry . of course , you 're right about that . maxine : it 's all right , dr. evans . i 'll take care of it . marlena : thank you so much . kristen : well ... you ladies have a wonderful day . good - bye . marlena : thanks , maxine . maxine : [ sighs ] sami : well , you know , chad is in recovery . we do n't know how long that 's going to take . so yeah , i mean , we want him to be a part of the wedding . if we have to postpone things , we will . caroline : is that the only reason ? sami : grandma , i love ej . i am going to spend the rest of my life with him . caroline : i know you do . i was just wondering if you think this family can survive two weddings in one season . sami : daddy has been talking to you , has n't he ? caroline : do n't be too hard on your father . he loves you , and he wants the best for you . and that 's -- that was what i was telling shawn last night . what ? sami : grandma ... ej : dr. davis , may i speak to you for a moment , please ? cameron : sure . ej : privately . cameron : well , i do n't have my own office , so this is the best i can do for now , and i 'm pretty busy , so -- ej : [ clears throat ] i 'll cut to the chase . i understand that abigail was here earlier . cameron : and let me guess . you want to make sure that i did n't mention chad 's big lie . look , i told you i would n't lay that on her right now , and i did n't . ej : thank you . i appreciate your discretion . cameron : so is this where you whip out a wad of cash , or maybe a death threat ? ej : uh , no , i 'm not my father . if you wish to tell abigail , then go ahead and be my guest . but i suggest , before you do that , that you make sure you 're in possession of all the facts . cameron : what other facts could there be ? ej : i think you 'd be surprised by the reason that my brother did what he did . cameron : and i suppose you 're going to enlighten me . ej : not my place . judge pierce : mr. deveraux , it is clear that you have been on a bad path for quite some time now , so ... [ sighs ] while i am not opposed to the plea deal , a sentence of probation and community service , i 'm going to need some time before i come to a final decision . therefore , i will defer my ruling until a later date , which will give you a chance to redeem yourself , mr. deveraux . in the meantime , not only must you remain living with your mother -- you can not get into any more legal trouble . if you do , i will no longer consider the plea deal but will instead impose the maximum sentence of five years in prison . can you agree to my terms ? jj : yes , your honor . judge pierce : in the meantime , you and your family can have no contact with the witnesses or the victims of your crimes , in case they may be called to testify at some date in the future . all right , mr. deveraux is released for now under the conditions set forth . jack ... it is my fervent hope that the next time we meet , you will not have given me any reason to reject said plea bargain and send you to prison . [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise . jj : that 's it ? i 'm free ? justin : for now , yes . you 're free . jennifer : oh , thank god . nicole : you call me a liar , yet you believe her after everything she 's done to you . ca n't you just see what she has to say ? brady : i already have . nicole : no . brady : eric guided us through pre - cana , and we laid it all on the line -- our fears , our hopes , our feelings . there is n't one secret left between us . nicole : if you believe that , you 're a bigger fool than i thought . brady : no , i think you 're the fool . i think you 're the bigger fool because you 're in love with my brother , who you ca n't even have , and you 're trying to control my life right now . we all see this coming , nicole . we all know what you 're up to . nicole : eric has nothing to do with this . brady : you have such a casual relationship with the truth that you do n't even hear yourself lying anymore . i feel sorry for you . nicole : i feel sorry for you . brady : get out of here . get out . nicole : no , brady , please -- brady : i do n't want you in my life anymore . did you not hear me ? get out ! go . go . eric : i just do n't understand . why would nicole possibly be in disguise , pretending to be another woman ? it just does n't make any sense . martha : no ? eric : no . it has to be somebody else . kristen : eric , it 's kristen . may i come in ? from first steps ... caroline : what did i say ? sami : nothing . nothing . caroline : well , even if i get confused sometimes , it does n't mean you can put anything over on me , samantha brady . sami : okay . um , you just said that you had talked to grandpa shawn last night . caroline : well , i did n't . i -- he 's been dead for five years . sami : and i 'm sure you think out him all the time . i 'm sure what you meant was that you just talked to him in your prayers last night . caroline : yeah , i guess even with medication and therapy , i 'm going to get confused . i just -- i guess we just have to live with that . what were we talking about ? sami : oh . it was n't important . caroline : when you change the subject , it means you do n't want to talk about it . sami : grandma ... all i want to say right now is that i love you and that i do n't know what i would do without you . [ sniffles ] caroline : oh , sami . sami . mwah . cameron : [ clears throat ] maxine : dr. davis . just the man i wanted to see . got a question for you . cameron : yeah . maxine : i thought you said that chad 's surgeons could n't use the haemostatic agents on him because of some treatment he was receiving , but it looks like dr. jonas went ahead and used it anyway . cameron : [ stammers ] i thought that chad was taking a drug that would contraindicate their usage , but it turns out that i was wrong . maxine : oh . mm , okay . cameron : anyway , it 's nothing to worry about now . [ clears throat ] maxine : well , glad to hear it . cameron : you 're awake . chad : what was that about ? jj : hey , uh , uncle justin ... justin : mm - hmm ? jj : thank you so much for what you did for me today , especially after -- you know . justin : well , it 's not a done deal , you know , jj . you heard what the judge said . hope : and i 'm never going to see that handsome face around the station ever , ever again , correct ? jj : correct . hope : correct . okay . unless , of course , you 're stopping by to give aunt hope a hug and say hello . jj : right . hope : i 'm going to work now . got ta go . jennifer : okay , thank you so much for being here for all of us . hope : no need to thank me . justin : you know what ? i got ta get to a deposition , so i 'll go out with you . jennifer : oh , i 'll walk you out . hope : okay . abigail : bye . justin : mind your ps and qs . hope : bye . abigail : thank you . bye . whew . it 's been so quiet here without you , jj . jj : oh , yeah ? abigail : yeah . so i think we 're gon na order pizza tonight , and maybe we could , i do n't know , play some games or something -- jj : no , hey , hey . your boyfriend 's at the hospital . go be with him . do n't worry about me . abigail : no , jj . jj : i 'm good . i 'm good . abigail : you sure ? jj : yeah . abigail : thank you for understanding . jj : no problem . hey , you know what ? i love you , and i 'm so glad you 're okay . really . abigail : i love you . and i 'm so glad that you 're home . this is good . i think this is gon na be like a brand - new start for our family .

because the sooner she realizes that he 's not worthy of her , the better . jj : aunt kayla ? you mean what she said ? paige , why would that change everything ? paige : well , it 's just ... ever since i found out what happened to her , i 've watched how supportive and protective you 've been about her -- about your whole family , really . and it convinced me that everything that i think about you is true . you 're amazing . jj : no , no , i 'm not . paige : hey , do n't contradict me . you 're the one i 've been waiting for ... all this time . ben : i did n't want ej dead . and you know how i feel about you , but you moved out of his life . you did n't even want to think about him ever again . abigail : yeah -- that 's -- that 's right , but i was n't asking about ej . ben , i was talking about you . talking like that , it reminded you of something . ben : mind reader . look , i do n't ever want to lie to you . you 're right , there was once someone that i wished were dead . my father . clyde : tell me , is there gon na be some kind of memorial ? kate : no , uh , ej did n't really want anything like that . clyde : well , still , you think a man like stefano dimera would want some kind of tribute to his son . kate : actually , it was very complicated between ej and stefano . they were back and forth . it was good , and then it was bad . it was -- it was very volatile . and unfortunately , they were in a very bad place when this happened and they did n't get to make up before ej died . clyde : no , i 'm sorry . that 's just wrong . sami : so rafe said they found the guy who did it , who -- who killed ej ... and that he was dead , that he died of an overdose , that he had ej 's things . and he had the gun . i just ca n't wrap my head around the idea that ej was the victim of something so -- so insanely random . lucas : listen , i 'm sure you and the kids do n't see it that way , all right ? you just -- you want him back . that 's all . allie : daddy ! sami : oh , sweetheart . lucas : honey , come here . hope : honey , calm down . it 's okay , everything 's gon na be all right . ciara : wan na bet ? hope : what i mean is , you and aiden are getting to know each other , starting to become friends . i 've seen it . i know you like him . ciara : just because i like him does n't mean i want him to be my new dad . [ knock at door ] eric : ms. larson ? eric brady . i 'm here to do your publicity shots . eve : you 're the photographer ? eric : why are you surprised ? eve : honey , you just look like you should be in front of the camera , not behind it . jj : paige , listen , you ca n't put me on some pedestal . paige : no , no , i 'm not . but still . jj , i do n't like to talk about this much , but i watched this series of really terrible guys come in and out of my mom 's life and i 'd wonder to myself if every guy in the world was like that . but now i know it 's not true ... because i found you . you 're good and decent and i love you . and i know you . and i know you mean it when you say you love me . jj : paige , of course i mean it . i do love you . paige : oh , jj , then it will be perfect . hope : hey , baby , look at me . not for a second would i ever suggest aiden or anyone could ever replace your dad , not ever , ever . ciara : is n't that what a date is for ? to see if you like someone enough to marry him ? hope : baby , you 're getting way ahead of yourself here . ciara : you 're the one who 's divorcing dad . is n't that so you can marry someone else ? someone like him ? hope : sweetie , no one is marrying anyone here . julie : hey , what 's going on here ? darling , i do n't know what has you so upset , but take a deep breath . [ inhales ] [ exhales ] you need to get in touch with your inner peace . something we all should do more of . ciara : how am i supposed to do that when mom is going out with him on a date ? julie : what ? ben : i do n't think we should be talking about me tonight . and i know we should n't be talking about this . abigail : you 're wrong . ben , we should . ben : abigail , you lost your father and i 'm talking about wanting mine dead the day after someone you know was murdered . abigail : do you ever notice , ben , that we almost never talk about you ? like , hardly ever . and you always have a really good reason not to . i want to know -- i want to know who you are . i want to know what made you who you are , ben ... like how you can be so gentle and kind but yet you say that you wished your father were dead . that confuses me and i wan na know you . i - i talked to your father . i know . he told me that he made some bad mistakes when you were young , but that 's not the whole story , is it ? ben : no , that 's not the whole story . abigail : i 'm sorry if i 'm prying but i ... i do want to know who you are . ben : my mom died when i was pretty young . after that , it got -- it got bad . jordan got the worst of it , especially when she would try and step in to protect me . abigail : when we talked about this before it was a lot worse than you led on , right ? ben : yeah . dad could get pretty nasty with that belt . abigail : a belt ? ben , oh , my god . how old were you ? that 's -- i ca n't believe that a parent would be able to get away with something like that . that 's crazy . i 'm sorry . ben : yeah , so that 's why jordan and i took off . we just could n't put up with it anymore . i did n't want to see him ever again . abigail : and here he is . ben : and here he is . abigail : do you still wish that he were dead ? kate : how i do enjoy being told i 'm wrong . especially about someone i 've known for years and you do n't know at all . clyde : oh , i 'm so sorry . what you said about ej dimera and his daddy , i meant that he was wrong . and it came out a little strongly 'cause it -- it hit so close to home . my kids have hated me for so long , i mean , they still do , but , ya know , i figure before you check out , you just got ta take a chance on fixing things . you just got to . kate : well , that 's a two - way street , do n't you think ? i mean , they could reach out to you . clyde : not in this case . this one is on me 100 % . they 're real good kids and i did n't do right by them . now , with jordan it may be too late . hell , it 's definitely too late with jordan . but with my boy , i still have a chance . you know , i might be able to make him see the old man has changed . 'cause i have . i want a second chance . like the one that ej and his daddy did n't have . lucas : pumpkin , i 'm so sorry i did n't get here sooner . how ya doing ? are you doing okay ? how 's johnny and sydney ? allie : they 're never gon na see their daddy again . lucas : i know , i know that , i know . allie : johnny and sydney cried . i tried not to . lucas : well , honey , it 's okay , i mean , if -- if you feel like crying , you can cry . it 's okay . allie : he 's not my daddy . lucas : i know -- i know but he did -- he did love you like he was . allie : i know . but now ... it 's not fair . lucas : what is n't , sweetheart ? what ? allie : i still have my daddy , but johnny and sydney ... daddy , will you be to them as ej was to me ? my budget and i are good . but it was n't always that way . hope : not quite how i wanted you to find out . julie : i know you . you were jj 's lawyer , you helped out at the gala , and now you 're , um ... hope : his name 's aiden . he 's a friend . julie : how do you do , aiden ? aiden : good , uh , hey , ciara , looks to me like your mom would like to talk to this lovely lady . so maybe we can go to the square , give them some privacy ? does that sound okay ? or -- julie : aiden , thank you for the compliment but i 'm much more than `` a lovely lady . `` i am the person closest to hope of anyone in the entire world . at least i thought so . ben : i 've seen my father a lot lately . and he 's saying all the right things but ... i have to wonder , can someone ever really change ? jordan does n't buy it at all . and i 've seen flashes of that -- that anger a couple of times now since he 's been here . abigail : yeah . well , everyone gets angry once in a while . ben : okay , i - i know you mean me . it 's true , i have a temper and i got it from him . but abigail , i do n't wish my dad was dead . i just wish he would go away . clyde : i realize i must be soundin ' pretty pie in the sky , huh ? the way i see it , you got ta be open to change . ya know , you got ta be open to things that might help you change , ya know ? become the person that your kids want you to be . kate : within reason . i think my son lucas would like me to become a cloistered nun . clyde : well , if he has half a brain , he would n't change a thing about you . kate : well , i would n't go that far . clyde : i would . you know , change can happen in all kinds of ways . say , for example , the right person comes along .

eve : yeah , she 's the light of my life . jj : okay , i just -- i -- i think we got ta stop 'cause this is daniel 's place and i promised him that nothing like this would go down here , so ... paige : right , i 'm sorry . so let 's go someplace else . my friend daphne said we could use her dorm room . i could call her -- jj : do n't -- do n't -- do you think that it 's too late like , too last minute ? paige : well , i mean , maybe . but -- but you do want us to be together , right ? jj : sure , yeah , yeah . it 's just that i do n't see it happening tonight , you know , 'cause i 'm just really tired and you had that early class . so , i 'm -- i 'm gon na go head home , okay ? i 'm just gon na hit the hay . paige : okay . do you know where my phone is ? jj : uh , i think it 's maybe behind the cushions . paige : yeah . jj : all right , so i 'll see ya . paige : jj ? jj : no , i just -- i got ta go home and get some sleep . all right , but you can use your key to lock up . aiden : looks like i really got my work cut out for me , do n't i ? ciara : why ? you do n't care what i think . grown - ups just do what they want , always . aiden : i remember it looking that way when i was a kid , but trust me , grown- ups do n't always just do what they want . ciara : oh , so now you want me to feel sorry for you ? aiden : i know that 's not gon na happen . cards on the table . i like your mom , i really do . ciara : tell me something i do n't know . aiden : okay , ciara . we would n't be having this conversation if i did n't like you too . hope : i should have told you what was going on . but julie , honestly , i have a hard time telling you and daddy things that i know will upset you and make you worry about me . julie : first of all , never say you know what i 'm thinking because you really have no idea . hope : okay . julie : bo has left you in a horrible position and if you 're ready to move on , i 'm 100 % behind you . and bo is a damn fool . hope : hear , hear . julie : but this is a lot for me to take in . hope : i know . julie : so please put my mind at rest about this , this dating . just tell me something about this man . hope : okay , um ... well , that 's the thing . i - i ca n't . not really . rory : hey , so where 's your boyfriend ? paige : why do you say it like that ? rory : well , i mean , ya know , he 's supposedly in love with you but here you are , all alone . paige : i just came from seeing him . rory : oh , and he had somewhere else to be ? shocking . paige : he went home . he 's tired , okay ? rory : well , just be sure that he 's not ditching you to steal someone else 's date . jj : mom ? abs ? lucas : so what do you want me to do ? put me to work . what can i do for you ? i mean , obviously , i 'll go upstairs and i can distract the kids , but do you need help with planning anything , like a memorial or something like that ? sami : no . no . ej did n't want the kids to have to go through that , you know , the circus it would become . lucas : i hate to say it , but he 's right . sami : so , i do wan na put together something , you know , just for the kids . something private so that they can -- so they can say good - bye . lucas : yeah , right . sami : and then i have to get to work figuring out how to get them the hell away from here . get them out of this place for good and away from stefano for good . kate : are you sure ? did you double - check ? no , it 's just worse than i thought . clyde : are you all right ? kate : i need to take care of something . i am so sorry to cut this short , but , um , it 's kind of an emergency . clyde : yeah , sounds that way . well , i hope to see you again soon . kate : yeah , well , if i do n't fix this , it might be 10 to 20 . thanks for the fortune cookie . sami , you idiot . aiden : okay , i know that we started out kind of tough , right ? but i like to think we became friends . i mean , remember during the auction , when we teamed up to save the day ? ciara : with uncle roman and that lady ? aiden : giselle . yeah , i think we kind of bonded then . think about law school , kid , 'cause you do n't give an inch . oh , i saw you laughing . ciara : did not . aiden : yeah ! oh -- all right , well , maybe you 're just laughing at me . because i must sound pretty desperate trying to remind you how we became friends . but even if you do n't think that i am your friend ... i think that you 're my friend . and it 's important to me that you know that i would never , ever even try to take your dad 's place . i totally respect how you feel about him . in fact , that 's one of the things i like about you . and i like your mom too . i would -- i would like to see your mom a lot . all right ? but even if i 'm lucky enough to do that , i promise you , and i take my promises really seriously ... i wo n't do anything to hurt either one of you ... ever . hope : maybe that 's why i never told you about aiden . because he 's difficult to describe . julie : good - looking comes to mind . hope : really ? see , i 'm not superficial like you , i really never noticed . okay , he is very good - looking and he 's a lawyer . he has a son in ciara 's class at st. luke 's , which i believe you already know . see , i know , you know , things like that about him . but there may be a lot of things that i may never know . he 's -- he 's really private and kind of guarded , but he 's a good dad . he loves his son . he 's very sweet with ciara and he makes me laugh even when i do n't want to . julie : been a long time since i heard you laugh , darling . hope : yeah , i know . we 're friends and if friendship turns into trust and he decides to open up , i 'll listen . but i 'm definitely not gon na push him . that 's ridiculous , it would be so out of character for me , would n't it ? i do n't know where this is going , but i think i 'd like to find out . julie : then i want you to find out . hope , darling , all i want is a happy ending for you . hope : thank you . i love you , thank you . rory : you know , there 's jj 's story about what happened with the girl at that party and then there 's what probably really did happen . paige : how would you know ? you passed out ! rory : well , i know that there was a really hot girl who was into me and the next thing i know , she ends up with my so - called best friend . paige : that 's not how it happened . rory : fine . you believe what jj said about that night and that he 's just tired and wanted to go home . and scarlett johansson is n't totally hot . jj : just tell her . she 'll get it , yeah . abigail : do you have to get back to work now ? ben : it 's more like i need to find a second job . abigail : what ? no . i am having a hard enough time as it is trying to find a first job . you ca n't get a second job . ben : i know , i know . it 's tough but it will happen . abigail : you really thinking about getting a second job ? ben : well , i definitely need to make more money than i am here . abigail : right , yeah . ben : just so i can move into a better place , you know ? a place , by which i mean , i actually have a front door i can lock . abigail : yeah , i 'd like that too , i think . ben : yeah ? good . abigail : but , you know , if you get a second job , then i would never see you , so ... ben : well , it 's either that or my only other option is to just use some of the money i 've been saving for college . abigail : no , what are you -- no , you ca n't use that money . not only would you have to pay that stupid penalty , but college is way too important to you . do n't use that money . you can -- you can find another way . something else will come up . it always does . ben : come here . lucas : you 're gon na be fine . and i guess i can start helping you by going upstairs and distracting the kids , so , um ... sami : i 'll be right there . lucas : all right . sami : okay ? lucas : do n't worry about it . take your time , okay ? kate : you have really stepped in it this time . this is jim . hope : oh ! y'all are back , and you did n't kill each other . that 's -- that 's a good sign . honey , you wan na talk ? ciara : no , i 'm kind of talked out and maybe you two could ... i do n't know , go on a date . maybe it wo n't be so bad . only ... hope : only what ? ciara : i 'll be watching you . aiden : [ laughs ] i think that 's a smart idea . abigail : i hate to do this , but i better get going . i have that interview tomorrow and i 'm gon na meet with a friend before it to try to get some inside information . ben : oh , yeah ? abigail : yeah . ben : well , just hang in there . your luck is bound to change sooner or later . maybe this one 's the one . abigail : yeah , you know , you say that every single time but this time , maybe you 're right . ben : i think so . abigail : bye . ben : hey , stalker . how long have you been here ? clyde : not long . just thought i 'd drop by -- ben : anyway , i do n't have the money to pay you back yet , but i 'll get it . clyde : i told you , son , that 's not necessary . ben : i 'm not sure that 's your call anymore . clyde : keep the money , please ? you deserve it after the hell i put you through . you got a right to it . that and a whole lot more . sami : kate , what ? kate : stay off this . stay off your phone . sami : what are you talking about ? what the hell ? kate : it 's about you headed for prison . i do n't wan na get dragged along for that ride . eric : all right , that 's it . you did great . eve : oh , thank you , thank you ! i guess it 's kinda like , um , riding a bike , huh ? eric : i 'm gon na put a proof sheet together so we can go over it later . talk about prints and graphics . eve : you know , i still can not believe that you used to be a priest . eric : the only thing constant in life is change , right ? eve : yeah , you said that . but talk about father what - a - waste . you know what ? i got an idea . what do you think about this ? we forget about the proof sheet , we go some place , and we 'll look at the pictures right on your camera 's digital display . we 'll order a couple of drinks , celebrate how great this went tonight . what do you say ? eric : you know what ? i do n't know , it 's just -- eve : really ? come on ! you 're in business now . you got ta keep your client happy . my treat , okay ? and a check for services rendered . eric : okay . eve : okay ! eric : sounds good . eve : good . eric : let me just pack up my things . eve : great . eric : unless you need to stay home for your daughter . eve : oh , paige , she 's probably still studying . she 's got her plate full with school . paige : the door 's open ? so you 're tired , huh ? jj : paige ? | ciara was upset when she found out that hope was going out with aiden . hope tried to explain that she was n't trying to replace bo , when julie arrived . abby wanted ben to tell him more about himself . ben told abby that he was abused . clyde told kate that he wanted a second chance with ben . lucas arrived at the mansion to comfort sami and allie . allie asked lucas if he would be a father to johnny and sydney the way ej looked out for her . |

[ siren wailing distantly ] chad : right , 'cause all of the men 's clothes laying around and toilet seats up . gabi : yeah , no , that i can deal with . i 've lived with not only one but two -- chad : two , right , of course . gabi : yes . chad : so you are plenty used to it . gabi : yeah . but it 's more of the , uh , family dynamic that could get in the way . chad : what -- what do you mean ? gabi : well , uh , my dad is not really crazy about jj . rafe is fine , and , uh , they get along great . chad : what about dario ? gabi : oh , i do n't care what he has to say . and on jj 's side , jennifer 's been great . she 's supportive and sweet and loves arianna . chad : well , yeah , i mean , it -- you know , it -- it 's -- you know , you were so close with will and you meant so much to him , so i 'm sure that has a lot to do with it . gabi : yeah . maybe . but then there 's julie . chad : oh . gabi : and she was very close to nick . so you can understand how she feels about me . and she 's living with jennifer . you know , every time i run into her , it 's like she -- she gives me the evil eye , and it just makes me feel really uncomfortable . chad : [ chuckling ] yeah , i bet -- i bet -- sorry . um ... well , look , i mean , if you and jj really love each other then -- then nobody 's gon na be able to come between you . not even julie . gabi : yeah . yeah , and , um , we do . love each other . so if it 's gon na happen , it will happen when it 's supposed to happen . chad : yeah . gabi : but what about you ? um ... do you think that maybe after some time passes that you 'll be able to move on yourself ? chad : [ sighs ] oh , um ... i do n't -- i do n't know , i do n't think so . i -- well , i do n't -- um ... i mean , someday it would be nice , you know , to have -- have some -- for thomas 's sake , you know , like a mother figure , but ... gabi : but just for thomas 's sake ? chad : yes . he 's my main concern . gabi : i understand . i get that . i get that , but ... just -- just remember that you have to love , too . you know that you need to find someone that you can spend your life with . you ca n't forget that , okay ? chad : i should n't have gave her that cookie . gabi : no , you should n't have given her that cookie ! chad : she 's never gon na sleep now . no sign of xander , commissioner . we searched the entire area . roman : [ sighs ] damn it .

[ dramatic music ] xander : damn , am i glad it 's you . thanks for the text . pier 17 is swarming with police . deimos : yeah , no kidding . that 's because i tipped them off . xander : and what the hell would you do that for ? deimos : xander , relax . i 'm not double - crossing you . the cops do n't know that . xander : so you really are going to help me ? deimos : i 've been thinking a lot about your predicament , how this family failed you , abandoned you . and believe me , i can relate . so i 've decided not to turn you in to the authorities . in fact , i 'm gon na grant you asylum , safe passage to greece . xander : what 's the catch ? deimos : i want you to work for me from the confines of my greek compound . but you 're right , there is a catch . victor , nicole , brady , none of the kiriakis family could ever find this out . is that clear ? xander : you 've got yourself a deal . deimos : i thought you 'd be amenable . xander : there is one piece of outstanding business , though . theresa . she 's the reason i ended up in prison . deimos : forget it . it 's not gon na happen . i was never gon na let you harm theresa . and if you 're gon na be of any use to me in the future , you need to get over your twisted need for revenge . and since we 're on this subject , if you ever come anywhere near nicole , or try to contact her in any way , i do n't give a damn whether you 're family or not . you 're a dead man . you got that ? all right , good . your paralos awaits . get on the boat . i 'll be in touch . oh , wait , you know what ? wait a minute . before you leave , i need you to do me a favor now . orpheus : are we all set ?

marlena : no -- uh , no , no . i 'm actually a bit concerned . he should have been leaving victor 's by now . hope : okay . marlena : oops , i 'm back on duty , excuse me . hope : yeah , yeah , of course . jennifer : and you have n't been off your feet for hours . you 're gon na sit down and you 're gon na rest . right now . hope : i wish sitting down would stop my brain from racing . jennifer : i hate this . i hate that this is happening to you . really , it was n't bad enough the first time around ? and i just do n't even get it . why -- why would aiden -- i mean , i know that he 's completely nuts -- hope : because -- jennifer : but why would he want to be with a woman that ... hope : because -- jennifer : ca n't stand to be in the same room with him ? hope : i 'm gon na tell you . jennifer : why ? hope : because he 's convinced that i 'll come around and that i will fall in love with him again . he wants things to go back to the way they were . jennifer : the way they were ? hope : yes . jennifer : they were horrible . except at the very beginning , how -- hope : horrible ? that 's an understatement . jennifer : he 's delusional . i mean , you love rafe now . why in the world would you even consider going along with this ? oh , no you do n't . no , you do n't . i will not let you do this . i do n't care what you are thinking and i do n't care what he threatened you with , you are not gon na be with that man . hope : no ? jennifer : no . hope : what do you think will happen if i do n't ? i go to prison . what would that do to ciara ? exactly . no . aiden is not gon na make anyone else suffer for what i 've done . i killed stefano . i did . this is on me and me alone . roman : all right , my team is still searching the pier , but it looks like xander was a no - show . nicole : i - i wish we knew where deimos was . i mean , he should be hearing all of this . john : well , my guess is , xander was tipped off . roman : mine too , yeah . brady : roman , is there anything i can do ? roman : yeah , you can keep these two out of harm 's way . let my people do what they 're trained to do . i 'm confident they 'll apprehend him . theresa : yeah , and if they do n't ? i mean , uncle roman , you know that xander 's just gon na be lying in wait . he 's gon na attack us when we least expect it . and can you imagine how much his anger 's been refueled now that he knows he 's been played ? nicole : theresa 's right . it wo n't be long before xander finds out where we are . brady : no , no , listen . that 's not gon na happen . get it out of your heads . i do think that we should bring victor in at this point , though . he can put some feelers out and he can fix this mess that deimos obviously mishandled . nicole : now , wait a minute . we do n't know if deimos mishandled anything . john : no , i think -- i think you 're right , nicole . i think deimos did what he could . chances are , xander , he 's been suspicious from the get - go on this . he probably took deimos ' money and he 's on his way out of the country as we speak . now , let 's just hold off on bringing vic in on this . maggie needs him right now . it 's just gon na distract his focus on her . deimos : john is right . there 's no need to trouble victor with any of this . nicole : wa -- oh -- who did this to you ? deimos : it was xander . but do n't worry , he 's gone . for good . chad : [ yawns ] gabi : do you hear that ? chad : what ? gabi : the silence . mmm , the sirens stopped . oh , my gosh , it feels amazing . chad : yes , it does . gabi : [ sighs ] chad : oh , at least , um , some of us got some sleep . gabi : mm . should i move arianna into that guest room where -- chad : no , no - no - no - no . please , selfishly i would like us to just sit here , hang out with our kids , enjoy the silence . gabi : yeah , well , it 's definitely more cushy than your panic room . chad : true that . but looking back , i really -- i did n't mind that panic room too much . i mean , i got a little bit distracted from talking about , you know , our past , our conversation . we 've come a long ways . gabi : yeah . yeah , we have . you know , i think ... i think abigail would be really happy to know that we 've moved past our issues and that we 're friends -- not -- not just friends , but we 're working together . it 's very cool . chad : yeah , i just -- i wish she was here to be a part of it . gabi : she is . she 's watching over you and thomas right now . she 's really proud of you . i mean , after everything that you 've gone through this year , you -- you pulled through . chad : my father used to say that , uh ... that a dimera was like a phoenix , rising from the ashes . gabi : yeah , that 's sort of true . chad : yeah . uh , he , uh ... he was -- he was good about saying things like that . you know , he was insightful . it was kind of his way of being a role model . but in this moment right now , i do n't really need his inspiration , with you , here . gabi : me ? [ scoffs ] chad : yes , you . you know , after everything that you 've been through in your childhood , prison , raising arianna alone , will 's death , you know , you 've -- you 've jumped back into life with such hope and optimism , and it is inspiring . gabi : thank you . chad : you 're welcome . [ indistinct chatter ] jennifer : hope , he has done awful things to you , hateful things to you , to so many people -- hope : it 's no excuse . jennifer : i think a judge and a jury would feel differently . he 's tormented you . he led you to believe that he killed bo . hope : i know , i know . jennifer : he 's traumatized you . hope : i know , i know everything that you 're saying is true . but even if i believe what you 're saying , it does n't matter . if i do n't play along , then i have to leave my daughter permanently . and i ca n't live with that . i ca n't . jennifer : then you need to figure out a way to appeal to any shred of humanity left in aiden jennings . you need to -- to talk to him and make him see how wrong this is . marlena : hope , can you give me a hand over here , please ? hope : uh , yeah , sure . of course . deimos : i received a tip that xander was going awol . roman : and you did n't think it might be a good idea to notify the police commissioner ? john : why did n't you take me with you ? deimos : no , no . if i included either of you , xander would have known immediately that it was a trap . i needed to maintain my nephew 's trust . that 's why i arranged to meet him at another dock . nicole : and that 's when he attacked you ? deimos : yeah . but what he did n't know was that my bodyguard was with me . once he realized that he had been double - crossed , well , it became physical . thankfully , my man stepped in . that 's when i was able to grab xander 's gun . i shot and killed him . oh , um ... you 're gon na need this for the lab to test for residue and fingerprints . roman : all right , what pier did this happen on ? deimos : oh , it was , um , pier 9 . roman : all right , i 'll get my team and coroner down there , check it out . deimos : yeah , well , in that case , you 're gon na have to drag the river . the fight took us right to the edge . roman : okay . nicole : so ... he 's really gone ? theresa : so he can never hurt any of us again ? deimos : believe me , xander 's not gon na be bothering this family ever again . bill assumed it was a costume party . [ gentle music ] nicole : i ca n't believe this . i ca n't believe this nightmare with xander is over . theresa : yeah , it 's such a relief . we 're really grateful to you , deimos . deimos : well , i 'm glad i could help . you know ? put an end to the hell that he put all of you through . listen , i - i really should go to the police station , make a statement . okay ? nicole : yeah . deimos : all right . brady : deimos , wait . i owe you an apology . look , i tried to put aside our differences so that this plan would work . and when i did n't think it was gon na go our way , i was -- i was ready to call in victor and that would have been a mistake . i greatly underestimated your genuine concern for my family , and ... for that , i am sorry . so i thank you .

[ clears throat ] do you know why abigail did n't go to see dr . evans ? jennifer : yes , because marlena was n't feeling up to it yet . stefan : she ca n't see someone else ? jennifer : we suggested that , but abigail believes that marlena knows more about her case than any other therapist , so she 's willing to wait . stefan : okay . but if she 's suffering from d.i.d . again -- jennifer : we do n't know that . stefan : but -- [ chuckles ] but if she is , then would n't it be best to have it diagnosed right away ? jennifer : that is abigail 's decision and not yours . stefan : unless my gabby 's the one in control . jj : what made her split before was not being able to face that she killed andre . well , she 's faced that now . chad : um , but -- but she 's pregnant with stefan 's child . that 's enough to throw anyone off balance . jj : if gabby was out long enough to go buy a wig , why did n't she just throw it on and go straight to stefan ? chad : i do n't know . maybe she 's better at keeping her under control this time . jj : yeah , maybe . chad : look , i ... we need to take care of this before it gets worse . all right ? we need to get her help . jj : there might be another explanation to what 's happening . chad : what 's that ? jj : what if my sister is n't sick at all ? what if she 's being set up ?

is n't that what you 're always saying ? ciara : yeah . claire : did n't stop you from kicking him out of our apartment , though . sorry , sorry . uh , i did n't mean to make you feel bad . i know that you had no choice but to ask him to move out . ciara : what does that mean ? claire : well , there 's only one reason that you being around can make tripp feel uncomfortable . ben : well , i can think of more than one reason about -- claire : no , no . she does n't want him to notice that she has a thing for you . tripp : i - i do n't get any of this . why did you have to kick ben out ? chad : what makes you think that abigail 's being set up ? jj : because of what i just told you . she insists that it does n't feel like the last time . chad : well , that would explain the time lapse . jj : she says that when she wakes up , she does n't remember getting sleepy , and pregnant women get tired , obviously . someone could be taking advantage of that . chad : and the wig ? jj : could have been planted . abigail checked . she does n't have any record of buying it . chad : if she paid cash she wouldn't . jj : well , i pointed that out and she admitted that could be right . chad : what about the text to stefan ? jj : someone could have used her cell . chad : how ? i mean , her and i are the only ones that know the code on that cell phone . and i sure as hell did n't send it . you know , and then there 's the other question . i mean , who would want her to think that she 's splitting again ? stefan ? jj : he definitely benefits if gabby with a y is out . but abigail thinks it 's gabi with an i . gabi : i 'm sorry , you 're not falling for what ? abigail : well , you 're inviting me over for tea . you 're apologizing . claiming you never intended to make trouble . gabi : i really do n't know what you mean . abigail : you knew exactly what you were doing when you told chad about the text message i supposedly sent to stefan . gabi : look , i swear to god , i only told chad because i was worried about you and it was n't until later i realized i was doing exactly what stefan wanted . abigail : which is what ? gabi : well , he wanted me to ask about the text so that he could tell me he thought the gabby alter was back and he wanted me to tell chad i was worried about you and i did . abigail : you are too smart to be played by him . you 're in on the game , are n't you ? gabi : abigail , what game ? abigail : i do n't care what you say . you are not on my side . can you swear that you are not doing anything to get between chad and me ? gabi : yes . yes , i have been honest with you . and i admit it did take me longer than what i said to get over what you did to me when you were n't yourself . but when i saw that you felt really bad , i was able to let go of that resentment . and i want to help you . i really do , especially if your alters are back . okay , please believe me . fact is , every insurance company hopes you drive safely . hope : i should have known that something was off . rafe : no . hope : it was just too damn easy . rafe : no , you were just trying to protect your daughter . hope : i ignored my instincts . rafe : we go get him . we go get him now , we bring him in here . we confront him . hope : wait . i do n't know . rafe : he thinks he 's gotten away with it . we surprise him . we get him in here . we get a confession out of him . hope : wait . not yet . [ dramatic music ] tripp : ciara ? ciara : i told you , i did it for us . claire : oh , come on . you did it for grandma hope , and you know it . ben accused her of trying to frame him , so how could you let him live with us ? tripp : yeah , and how would your grandma feel about you getting ben a job ? claire : i did not guarantee him a job . i just said i 'd put in a good word for him . and , you know , besides , you feel really bad for saying that about grandma hope , right ? ben : i just wan na put the whole thing behind me . to make a fresh start . ciara : i hope you can . and if they offer you a job here , i think you should take it . claire and tripp get free meals all the time . ben : ah , well , free food does n't sound half bad . ciara : why do you think we 're here ? tripp : yeah , but you 're probably sick of the menu by now , though , right ? so let me treat you to lunch somewhere else . claire : oh , look at you . big spender . why would you pay if you do n't have to ? tripp : as long as it 's to go . you okay here ? ciara : yeah , no problem . claire : see ? everything 's cool . all right , i 'm gon na go help you pack that up . stefan : all right , look . you 've been through this before . so do you think abigail 's alters have come back ? jennifer : stefan . this is a really painful subject and it 's really none of your business . stefan : i - i understand that . i already know that abigail has lost periods of time and she sent me a text message that she does n't remember sending . has there been any more incidents -- jennifer : i am not going to inform on my daughter to you . stefan : so there has been . jennifer : do n't you put words in my mouth . stefan : look . abigail is carrying my child , so i 'm more than just a nosy bystander . jennifer : no , you 're an interested bystander . you are actually rooting for abigail to have a relapse , especially if your gabby is back . stefan : hold on . jennifer : that 's what you want . stefan : no , you and i made a deal here . i would n't confront abigail if you answered my questions . jennifer : no , i know that , but don't ... okay , fine . fine , there was something , but you promised to leave abigail alone . stefan : tell me . tell me ! jennifer : chad was here the other night , and he went in abigail 's room and he found a black wig . stefan : a gabby wig ? jennifer : yes . chad : so you and abigail think that gabi -- like , what ? she 's gaslighting ? jj : look , i do n't wan na think that , but abigail brought up some stuff that i could n't argue with . chad : like what ? jj : like gabi finally admitted that she was way more pissed off at abigail than she said she was . chad : it makes sense . i mean , she did send her to prison . jj : and she probably ca n't have kids because of the beating she got there , yeah . chad : i thought gabi knew that abby was sick when she lied on the stand . jj : well , she said she did . but then they finally had it out and gabi admitted that , uh ... chad : she lied about pretending ? jj : yeah , i guess so . anyway , uh , they said how sorry they were and they made peace . but abigail thinks gabi did n't mean a word of what she said . chad : then why would she say it ? jj : to get abigail to trust her . chad : i mean , if gabi was gon na do something like that to make abby think she had d.i.d . again , that 'd be ... it 'd be ridiculously cruel . jj : yeah , well , remember way back when you and melanie jonas were talking about getting married , and gabi hired that creep andrew to kidnap melanie ? well , that was pretty cruel . but gabi did it . abigail : i want to believe you , but i have known you for a long time , and i can tell when you are n't being straight with me . gabi : this is -- this is stefan 's fault . okay , he 's trying to convince you that i 'm not really your friend . abigail : no . mm - mm . not him . gabi : what are you talking about ? he 's trying -- he 's making sure that you do n't trust anybody but him , and you can not let that happen . chad already told me that -- that you 're upset at him and your mom . abigail : i - i was , but i 'm -- gabi : but you can not push me away too . i am your best friend . i would never do anything to hurt you . you have to believe me , okay ? abigail : no . i do n't believe you . not for a ... minute . gabi : mm . [ scoffs ] you 're catching on way faster than i thought you would . but it 's not gon na make a difference . [ groans ] okay . here . all right , it 's time for a little field trip , gabby . hope : jumping in head first without thinking , that 's what got me into trouble in the first place . i ca n't accuse ben based on a theory . we need proof . we need solid evidence . and we have to build this case twice as carefully . everyone knows that i have a vested interest in getting ben because of ciara . rafe : yeah , that 's what -- smart . okay . then what 's our plan ? hope : i wan na keep it close to my vest . just between us . rafe : done . hope : we let ben think that he has the upper hand , while we get what we need to nail him . and just when he thinks that he 's gotten away with it ... pew ! we send him away forever . ciara : i 'm sorry that i asked you to move out . i just ... thought it was for the best . ben : no , i get it . staying with you was only supposed to be temporary . ciara : where have you been sleeping ? ben : i just went back to the homeless shelter . it 's really not that bad . ciara : if you need to borrow any more money , i -- ben : no . no , i do not . you 've helped me more than enough . trust me . when i get a job , i 'll find a better place to live , but to be honest , the thing about the shelter , i wait about half as long to take a shower now as i did when i lived with you and claire . ciara : [ laughs ] oh , my god . claire is the one who takes forever . ben : mm . yeah , it 's her fault . ciara : no , i mean -- i looked through the keyhole once , and she was singing into her hair dryer like it was a hand mic or something . she put on this whole concert . it was ridiculous . ben : well , i tell you what , you do n't sing , well , you may not sing , but it takes you an hour to dry your hair . ciara : it does not . ben : i timed it . ciara : okay . [ laughs ] i guess it takes me longer than i thought to , uh , put on the natural look . ben : oh , you do n't need it . i 've seen you first thing in the morning , and you are beautiful . sorry . ciara : no , we 're cool . thanks . tripp : you ready ? ciara : yeah . stefan : so she 's got the wig ? the one that gabby wore . jennifer : i suppose . do not -- do not say a word to abigail about this -- stefan : does she know about it ? jennifer : chad showed it to her , she has no idea how it got in her room . stefan : all right , so gabby 's back , that proves it . jennifer : what are you doing ? what are you doing ? stefan : i 'm the only one that gabby trusts . jennifer : no , but abigail -- stefan : what are you doing ? jennifer : i 'm not gon na let you pressure her right now . no . stefan : i would n't -- i would n't do that . jennifer : oh , really ? all of a sudden , you 're a man of honor ? you knew that abigail had this illness and you do n't tell her husband or her family so that you could have gabby all to yourself , right ? stefan : i was trying -- jennifer : what ? stefan : i was trying to protect her . jennifer : protect her ? you had sex with her ! you do n't care about her . you care about yourself and your -- and your sick needs at my daughter 's expense . my daughter may be sick again and look at you . you are thrilled about it ! you are -- you are so sick ! you disgust me ! gabi : oh ! abigail , i mean , you 're really packing on the pregnancy pounds . all right . listen , you should cut down on the carbs , okay . trust me , it 's not gon na hurt the baby . [ sighs ] yeah , i guess this is how gabby would dress pregnant . hope this stuff still fits . ( woman ) one year ago today mom started searching for her words . ciara : i love the food at the café . why did you say you thought i might be sick of it ? tripp : honestly , i was just trying to get away from ben . [ chuckles ] now i might end up working with the guy . ciara : come on . he needs the money . tripp : yeah , but there are -- there are plenty of other towns where they have plenty of other jobs that do n't know ben 's record . ciara : you 're not gon na like what i 'm about to say . tripp : no , but you 're probably gon na say it anyway , are n't you ? ciara : mm - hmm . can you just try and give him a chance ? tripp : why ? i mean , who in this town is going to be thrilled when ben walks up to take their order ? i mean , you do realize that we have to wear neck ties ... ciara : yeah . tripp : on this job . ciara : he 's not that person anymore , tripp . tripp : mm - hmm . ciara : i mean , the doctors let him out of his institution . they would n't have done that if they thought otherwise and marlena agrees . tripp : yeah , but there 's a big gap between okay , you know , maybe the guy is different now and then wanting to hang out with the guy . ciara : his dad used to beat him and his sister up when they were kids . tripp : s - so ? nothing 's his fault ? ciara : no , i 'm just -- i 'm just saying that he has a good heart . you know ? i mean , look at all the time and effort he put into fixing my dad 's bike . tripp : yeah , well , he probably felt guilty trying to burn you alive . ciara : he did n't do that . would you please just not judge him based off of who he was ? he 's a totally different person now . even claire 's come around . she sees that he 's not so bad . claire : i did n't know you had worked in a restaurant before . ben : yeah , back before doug 's place -- it was called club tbd . are you really gon na try to help me get a job here ? i mean , i know the whole thing was an excuse , but -- claire : yeah , but it 's a very good excuse that can work in our favor . it 'll give us a cover for hanging out while we work out how to break up tripp and ciara . ben : yeah , claire , you know , i 've actually thought a little bit more about that , and , uh , i 'm not gon na be any part of that . claire : what ? ben : no , i just did n't like the way you lied to her . you know , and then i had to back you up , and i really did n't like that -- it was the first time i 've ever lied to her since we met . claire : no offense , ben , but you 've done a lot worse than lie to people . ben : i was n't in my right mind back then , claire . she was the first person that i connected with when my head was on straight . i won her over . she 's always gon na be special to me . we 've been honest , completely , from the very start , and what we have is just ... pure . claire : okay . you know , pure is fine . pure is great , i guess , but , um , you know , tripp 's the one she 's having sex with . and it 's gon na stay that way unless we do something about it . ben : yeah , you want to do something dishonest . claire : ben , like i told you before , and i really thought you understood me , they are wrong for each other . okay ? and we 're gon na help them figure that out . i belong with tripp , and you belong with ciara . are you on board with me or not ? stefan : uh , i 'm not a monster . i 've always thought of gabby as the true essence of abigail . and i would never pressure her . it 's bad for her and it 's bad for the baby . and whether you like it or not , i am that child 's father and i will be there for abigail if she needs me . jennifer : no , you wo n't need to be because i 'm gon na be there for her and jj and her husband and we 're gon na take care of all of her needs , and if you love her and that baby as much as you claim , you will leave her alone . stefan : with all due respect , i will be there for my child . jennifer : and i will be there for mine too . and you 've already hurt her enough , so i 'm just telling you , if you do anything to jeopardize her mental health , i promise you , you will regret it . stefan : understood . i do n't know how to convince you that i will never harm her . jennifer : take this . take this ! stefan : what -- jennifer : and get out of my house . get out of my house ! get out of my daughter 's life ! get out ! stefan : okay . okay . chad : i would never forget what gabi did to melanie . but neither would gabi . and i thought she was over all of that . jj : well , my sister came back from what she did . chad : i mean , everything kind of points to the contrary . jj : yeah , i know , but i think we at least owe it to abigail to keep our minds open to the idea that she might be right . chad : but we would n't be sitting here , speculating , if she would just go see a doctor and she wo n't , so , i do n't know , maybe i 'm the one that has to ... you know , force her . jj : force her how ? chad : i 'm just saying , i have -- i have a son to worry about too . i need to protect him as well . jj : yeah . yeah , look , i get that , and i want her to see a doctor too , so does mom . we 're gon na get to the bottom of this . gabi : [ sighs ] welcome back , fake gabby . let the games begin . tripp : well , i know at least ben does n't live here anymore . the guy snored like a truck driver . ciara : i never heard him . tripp : yeah , well , maybe because your snoring drowned him out . ciara : me ? [ laughs ] i do n't snore . tripp : [ chuckles ] ciara : oh ! [ laughs ] tripp : okay . okay . i can not believe you just did that . this is like my favorite shirt . ciara : hmm . i guess you 're just gon na have to take it off , then . tripp : oh , okay . well ...

[ sighs ] [ grunts ] this is a little bit heavier than i thought it would be , but i got ta make it look real . okay , it 's now or never . the day after chemo might mean a trip back to ciara : wait ! no , no , no , no ! tripp : yep , yep , yep , yep . ciara : you win ! you win ! you win ! you win ! stop ! tripp : well , you know , if i win , that means i should get some sort of prize , do n't you think ? ciara : yeah . [ laughs ] you got this ketchup everywhere ! [ both laugh ] claire : i 'm gon na go , uh , give this to fran . ben : thank you . so i 'm assuming you saying you want to apologize to me would get claire to leave , right ? hope : no . i meant it . i want to apologize to you , ben , for arresting you on the basis of faulty evidence . it was obviously planted , as you had stated . and i am sorry . i -- i treated you unfairly . ben : i just want to put the whole thing behind me . hope : thank you ... for being ... so gracious . thank you . ben : likewise . rafe : right , we got ta get going . hope : bye . ben : see you . rafe : that was really cool how calm you stayed . i know that could n't have been easy . hope : worth it . rafe : yeah . hope : next time ... he 's not gon na see me coming . jj : you know , mom , i , uh -- i would n't worry . when i talked to abs , i said i think she should see another doctor until , you know , marlena can see her , and , uh , she said she 'd think about it . jennifer : really ? she did ? jj : yeah , yeah . you know what ? maybe that 's where she is right now , getting the help she needs . jennifer : okay . jj : yeah . abigail : what the hell am i doing here ? stefan : gabby ? gabi : ugh ! damn , that hurt !

[ sighs ] you tend to want to blame someone , you know , and feeling that anger is better than feeling the grief . gabi : i feel both right now . how could she do that ? how can a wo -- how can a mom allow her son to take a bullet for her ? and then she just runs away . who does that ? kate : because vivian has never cared about anyone except herself . gabi : i ca n't believe that she 's gon na get away with what happened to stefan and what she did to you . kate : okay , let me tell you something , okay ? and i do n't sympathize with that woman at all , but she lost her son , and right now , i guarantee you , she is paying for her actions , okay ? gabi : unlike lani price .

kayla : no , i ca n't ask you to do that . jennifer : yes , you can ask me to do that , because he never would have had that lab if it were n't for me in the first place , so i will deal with that creep . kayla : if you do n't mind , really . jennifer : i insist , please . kayla : [ sighs ] there you go . thank you . jennifer : ca n't even imagine what kind of experiments are on this thing . hope : oh . oh , god . i must have slept the wrong way last night . julie : so kayla says everything 's good , but i do have a -- a long recovery ahead of me . eli : yeah , we figure . that 's why we decided to push the wedding back . julie : no , no , you ca n't do that . doug : sweetheart , sweetheart , do not upset yourself . julie : no , if i have to , i will . i -- i 'm not gon na let my grandson postpone his wedding because of me . eli : grandma , it 's fine , okay ?

right now , i need to focus on you ... and your miraculous recovery . kate : thank you , sweetie . that 's so sweet . i am totally grateful for being alive . gabi : and out of the hospital already . kate : yeah , well , i snuck out a little early . gabi : oh , could n't stand being in that bed ? kate : yeah , absolutely . i was going stir crazy , and it was also the fact that the board is trying to give my job away . gabi : wait , what ? kate : no , you have n't heard ? shin offered my job to tony dimera on a temporary basis until i 'm fully recovered . gabi : what does he mean ? you look fine , you 're ready to go . kate : yes , i am ready to go , so when i called shin on my way home and told him that , he insisted that i needed to take more time -- insisted . you know , and ordinarily , i would say okay , i could do that , but i know the game . i know how this plays out . tony gets comfortable with the power and -- and shin sees that and thinks , `` oh , perhaps there should be a real dimera in charge . `` and before too long , my ass is thrown out and ... anyway ... i 'm considering jumping the ship . gabi : what -- where would you go ?

[ clears throat ] then how do i start this process of nothing ? john : that 's easy . you just chill with mom and me and let us take care of you for a while . that 'll give a chance for both you and shawn to breathe a little bit , figure out where you are , where you want to go . you know , i 'm sure shawn 's in a lousy place right now , too , because of everything that 's happened . he 's angry . he 's lashing out . he 's ready to rebel . belle : i know . that 's exactly what worries me . john : and he 's gon na come around . the waters are muddy right now , but when they clear up , i do believe the two of you are gon na find each other , baby girl . belle : i hope so .
