i think -- i think you 're worried that i found out from gabi . will : from gabi ? nick : yeah . will : really ? nick : i 'm picking up on that ? will : have you -- have you seen her recently ? nick : yeah , in fact , we just -- we talked last night . i just ran into her . will : oh . will : am i allowed to do that ? will : yeah , sure . i mean ... as long as you just remember that she 's over you completely . she 's moved on . nick : yeah . sonny : it 's really not the end of the world . gabi : well , i saw four other pumpkins on the way in here . sonny : also you just have to realize that being a pumpkin is not wildly original . i think it 's classic , but she 's just gon na be , you know , one of the many , many pumpkins in the pumpkin patch . of course , if you wanted her to stand out -- gabi : no , i was not gon na dress my baby as margaret thatcher , okay ? sonny : i 'm just saying , she 'd be the only one . gabi : no . hope : hi . sonny : hey . gabi : hey . sonny : hey , honey , how come you 're not dressed up ? ciara : i 'm going as the kid who hates halloween parties . sonny : mm , that 's original . hope : one of those days . is will here ? sonny : no , he 's not here yet . hope : oh , i want to share some news with him . his cousin , theresa , is here in the hospital . gabi : is she all right ? hope : she will be . it was really touch - and - go there for a while . karin : oh , shoot . hope : oh , do you need a hand ? oh , goodness . here , let me help . oh , it 's you . abigail : are you guys excited to find out who won ? chad : abigail , i never s -- i did n't -- cameron : it 's not what it sounded like . abigail : oh , no , that is exactly what it sounded like . it sounded like two dudes in a locker room arguing over some chick like she was just a notch on a bed post . cameron : no , that 's not how -- abigail : what a prize . hmm ? the virgin ? does that get you extra points ? chad scored , but cameron has registered a challenge . 15 yards for lying about a brain tumor . cameron : can you stop talking like that ? abigail : stop talking like this was ever about me . the only thing that this was about was which one of you won . cameron : that 's -- that is not how we both think of you . chad : no , no , whoa , wait a minute . she 's onto something . that 's exactly what it was . look , we were competing for you because you set it up that way . sami : you threatened him , did n't you ? ej : oh , please . i mean , i can understand why lucas might have seen it like that , but no , all i did was enlighten him as to , you know , the legal realities of his situation and the fact that if he was n't careful , he could lose allie altogether . sami : what ? ej : i simply pointed out to him that if i played that recording back in a family court , a judge would not take very kindly to listening to him talk about how he was gon na take allie out of the country , samantha , and defy the judge 's orders . they tend not to like that `` i know best `` attitude . sami : you threatened him with his greatest fear . ej : i did it , so you could get allie back , samantha . samantha ? okay , fine . i , uh -- i admit maybe i went a little bit too far . samantha . you little -- sami : [ yelps ] ej , stop . oh , my god . no , put me down ! i was just kidding . i was just kidding . thank you , thank you . p karin : you do n't have to help me . i know you hate me . hope : i do n't hate you . karin : well , i do . hate me . gossiping about theresa and now ... is she gon na be okay ? hope : hopefully . karin : she 's my friend . at least , i thought she was . i did n't know she did drugs . i 'm -- i 'm new here and , uh -- oh , god . i ca n't do anything right . hope : hey , it 's tough being new . everyone makes mistakes . it 's okay . ciara : do n't cry , okay ? have one of my candies . karin : oh , thank you . oh , i have to check in . hope : do n't worry . we 'll take care of this . go ahead . i 'll take care of it . karin : thanks . thank you both . hope : that was very nice of you . ciara : she looked like she needed a friend . hope : you 're right . you 're right . she did . gabi : sonny , you ca n't dress a half - hispanic baby as margaret thatcher . sonny : do n't you see the irony in that ? all right , will thought it was a good idea . gabi : no , he probably just did n't wan na tell you that your idea was , what ? really dumb ? where is will ? nick : look , okay . gabi 's life is her own , okay ? i - i ca n't control her , and for that matter , you ca n't control her . uh , okay . i 'm sorry . i -- we should n't even be talking about that . i just wanted to say congratulations . that 's honestly all i wanted to say . congratulate my cousin . will : thank you . nick : okay ? will : wow , you pull that cousin card quite a bit . nick : no , i -- will : yeah , i think -- i think you do . let me just be straight with you . i think that you took advantage of gabi twice . both times when she was very vulnerable . nick : wow . well , i guess you 'd be the expert in that one since there 's a baby to prove it . will : oh , yeah . nick : okay , that was totally uncalled for . will : no , you know what ? nick : i did n't mean to say that . will : it happens to be right . nick : i should n't have said it . will : trust me , you 're right . you 're right . i own that . but because of that , i now have gabi -- nick : i did n't mean to say that . will : no , it 's okay . because of that , i was saying i have gabi in my life now . and i have my daughter . because of that , right ? so what i wo n't apologize for is being protective of either one of them . nick : no , and you should n't . that 's -- that 's a good instinct . i , as a man , can respect that . i just hope that at some point you 'll realize that you do n't need to protect gabi from me . cameron : i do n't think he meant that , the way that that sounded . chad : no , no , i did . you remember how -- how indecisive you were ? you thought we should all be fries while you figured things out . and i do n't think you meant to do it , but you were playing us off each other . neither one of us could figure out where we stood . abigail : well , i 'm sorry , but i did n't hear any complaints from either one of you . cameron : what were we supposed to do ? we both wanted to be with you . chad : and i was n't about to say anything to jeopardize things , as long as i still had a shot with you . abigail : and you felt the same way ? cameron : well , i felt that with a little bit of time , you would come to your senses , and you would choose me . abigail : but i did choose you . not you . him . kristen : well , obviously you heard about our wedding being moved up , huh ? nicole : yes , i did . and do n't think i 'm crying over either one of you . kristen : i would n't think so . brady 's always been a fallback for you . i mean , i 've known for quite a while that it 's the priest you have the hots for . oh , is that what this is about ? nicole : go away . kristen : ooh . wait , wait , wait . did you tell him how you felt ? nicole : no , i did n't . brady did . kristen : [ fake gasps ] nicole : and i tried really hard to keep it from eric and brady . ooh , damn him . damn him . kristen : oh , you must be devastated . nicole : do n't . do not pretend to have deep sympathy for me . kristen : nicole , i do n't have deep sympathy for you . i mean , maybe i have a little bit . what is the big deal ? so maybe it 's gon na be awkward for a little while . i mean , you 'll find a way to fix it , right ? nicole : awkward for a little while ? no , i ca n't fix it , and you know it . and it 's all because of you . brady : you know i 'm not really comfortable talking about nicole -- eric : get comfortable . i asked if you 'd seen her . brady : i 'm sorry , did you hear what i said ? eric : did you talk to her ? brady : i said i was n't comfortable -- eric : did you see her then ? brady : oh , my god . yes . yes , all right ? but i 'm not exactly talking to her right now . eric : why not ? brady : eric , come on . i have a wedding to get ready for , all right ? i mean , why are we doing this right now ? nicole does n't even figure into this . eric : well , i 'm wondering if she does . brady : i do n't get what you 're talking about . eric : listen , i 'm giving you every window to open up , but you just ca n't do it , can you ? did you know that she had feelings for me ? feelings that go beyond friendship ? brady : eric , what p -- there 's no point -- eric : yes , there is a point ! my point is that even right now you ca n't even be honest and just say it . i overheard you talking to nicole at the church . and it 's not that you 've just known that she had feelings for me , but you 've known for months . she 's been working here , brady . and you never even said one word . did it ever occur to you , just one time , that it 's something that i needed to know ? squirrels cutting coupons ! will : hey , sorry i 'm late . sonny : hey . gabi : something wrong ? will : no , just got -- just got hung up . hope : how are you doing ? will : hello . hi . hope : hi , honey . hi . will : happy halloween . hope : i 'm glad you could make it . will : thank you . me too . oh , my gosh . that 's a fairy princess on speed . this is why i love halloween . sonny : a harbinger of things to come . hope : me too . i love that kids can just be kids . there 's so much pressure to grow up too fast . sonny : um ... ciara . 6 : 00 . hope : like mother , like daughter . ciara : my friend tommy wants to go around to the different nurses ' stations and trick - or - treat . can i go ? his mom is taking us . hope : sure . of course . come on . i 'll go with you . ciara : kill me now . hope : oh , um ... okay . you 'd rather i did n't ? but make sure that you stay with his mom joanne okay ? right by her side . ciara : thanks , mom ! hope : hmm . i guess she 'd rather i did n't . sonny : what were you saying about kids staying kids ? [ laughter ] chad : hey , wait a minute . do n't rewrite history because you 're mad at me . okay ? you chose me . cameron : look -- chad : you know what we had together . cameron : let her finish . abigail : why ? it does n't matter anymore . cameron : it sure does . this is the first i hear of this ? of course it matters . abigail : no . not anymore . cameron , i need to speak to chad alone , please . chad : you heard her , doc . see ya . cameron : we are n't finished talking about this . chad : look , i 'm glad that we have this chance to talk about this alone . abigail : chad , you 're leaving in a little while for boston . and before you go , i just did n't wan na leave anything unfinished . chad : you mean it 's -- it 's over , do n't you ? sami : you know i was just kidding before , right ? about you threatening people turning me on . ej : yes . i kind of figured that . sami : it 's not that . it 's you . everything about you . and the fact that you stand up for me and you are willing to fight for me and our kids . i think it 's gon na work out with lucas . i think he 'll be okay , you know ? he just has to understand that when we are with allie , we 're gon na do what 's best for her . ej : well , she needs to be back here with us and her brother and her sister . she needs to be part of the pack . sami : you just said pack . ej : yeah . sami : it 's cute . speaking of pack , oh , my gosh . will is going to berkeley for a whole week . i have to go say good - bye to him . oh . ej : oh , my goodness . i have to go down to the hospital as well to say good - bye to chad before he and stefano head to boston . sami : well , it 's weird , is n't it ? strange how so many people are leaving all of a sudden ? whoa . ej : i do n't really care as long as you 're here when i get back . that 's a threat . sami : promise ? brady : i made a judgment call , all right ? i mean , i thought nicole was dealing with the situation , you know -- eric : brady , are you kidding me -- dealing with it ? brady : hey , hey ! yes , yes . eric : are you serious ? brady : seriously . come on , she respected the fact that you are a priest and that you took vows and -- eric : no , brady , she does n't respect that ! brady : well , then i do n't get it . eric : i know you do n't understand it . but are n't you wondering why i 'm a bit upset with you about all of it ? brady : of course i am -- yeah . no , no -- i do n't understand why you 're this upset , honestly . i do n't wan na minimize the fact that you 're upset , but really , what would have changed if you knew ? eric : a lot ! a lot . brady : well , then do me a favor and tell me . really , tell me . at would have been different ? eric : you know what , brady , that 's not the question . the question is , is whether i can trust you anymore . kristen : honestly , nicole , i have no idea what any of this has to do with me . nicole : honestly ? does n't your tongue burn when you say that word ? you know exactly what you did when you were broken up with brady and i tried to tell him you were unfaithful . but you know what ? i should have known -- should have known you had him wrapped around your twisted little finger because , of course , he did n't believe me . so what did he do ? he lashed out , and he said things that he should n't have , and eric overheard him . and now things have gotten worse since then , right ? all because of you ! kristen : all right , now , settle down , settle down . you go ahead and blame me if it makes you feel better in the moment . go ahead . do n't you think eventually , though , you 're gon na have to admit the truth ? i mean , if not to me , at least to yourself . the secret is out . hydration is in . abigail : if i did n't know it before , i knew it when i heard the two of you arguing over me like that . it 's over , chad . chad : i just wish that i did n't absolutely deserve to lose you . abigail : you 're not a bad person , chad . it 's just that , for right now , you 're not the person for me . chad : for right now ? abigail : [ chuckles ] do n't push your luck , punk . go to boston . get healthy . i have to work on myself right now too . chad : i had to lie to get a person as great as you in my life . and i know what that says about me . but i know what it says about you too . abigail : good luck in boston . [ both laugh ] hope : oh , honey . hey , did you have fun ? gabi : more importantly , did you get candy ? hope : yes , more importantly . i wan na see what 's in that bag . what 's the matter ? what 's wrong , honey ? you 're not gon na share ? ciara : i do n't have any candy . hope : what ? ciara : i traded with tommy . i gave him all my candy . hope : well , what did you get ? you got -- you wanted his jacket . ciara : it reminded me of dad . i miss him more and more . hope : i know . i know you do , sweetheart . will : hey . sonny : hey . will : what 's up ? everything good ? chad : yeah , yeah , great . terrific . could n't be better . will : awesome . so , hemingway , when do you take off ? will : uh , this afternoon . chad : wow . wow . well , have a great time . too bad the program is n't in boston . could have hitched a ride on the private jet . sonny : yeah , i do -- i feel kind of bad you have to fly commercial . will : yeah , me too .

can you believe he talks to me like that ? i know . i ca n't stand it . sonny : hey , i do n't mean to interrupt , but we should get going pretty soon . sami : oh , yeah . i 'm so sorry i ca n't go with you to the airport . will : that 's okay . it 's fine . i 'm gon na have a hard enough time saying good- bye to these two characters . sonny : it 's gon na be a week , and you 're gon na be writing . so i think the time 's gon na fly by , and you 'll be home before you know it . sami : listen , sonny , if you or gabi need anything , please call me . sonny : will do . see ?

sami : yeah . yeah , actually it is . that 's something i could n't have said a few days ago . gabi : oh , nice costume , cameron . you 're jay gatsby , right ? cameron : i 'm not in costume . gabi : really ? you 're so elegant . cameron : okay , so you were joking , and i am probably the most humorless man in the world . gabi : oh , you were n't humorless . you probably just had something of a rough morning . cameron : yeah , well , thanks for letting me off the hook . hey , you know what , i saw arianna . what a cute little baby pumpkin she is . do you have any other pictures ? gabi : um , maybe . let me check . cameron : you know what , sorry , gabi . i - i got ta get going . i 'll see you later . okay ? gabi : uh , that was kind of weird . he left when he saw you come into the room . abigail : yeah , i think he was probably just running late or something . gabi : and you 're acting weird too . are you okay ? did something happen with chad ? is he fine ? abigail : no -- uh , yeah . chad 's the same . it 's just , um -- well , i just broke up with him . gabi : what ? why ? abigail : it 's really a long story . gabi : okay , wait -- wait a minute . did it have something to do with cameron ? abigail : yeah . no . gabi : okay , that 's clear . abigail : look , gabi , um , i know what you 're wondering , but the answer is no . there 's nothing going on between me and cameron . and there never will be . nicole : you know , it really makes me happy that you 've decided to become my life coach . kristen : [ laughs ] you 're funny . did it ever occur to you that i could have told eric a long time ago what i figured out about you ? nicole : aw . kristen : but i did n't . nicole : yeah , that 's sweet . you 're a great gal . we should be friends . let 's go get a mani - pedi . kristen : i did n't . not because i do n't hate you but because i made a choice . i knew how painful this would be for you . and i probably know better than anybody how much love -- or actually the lack of it -- can hurt you . so i gave you that . i figured you 'd find a way to handle it in your own way in your own time . but -- and you 're not gon na wan na hear this -- you did n't do that . you let it fester until it came out in the worst possible way . now , we all know that i 've had harsh consequences to pay for my actions over the years . but the one thing i learned is that what does n't kill you makes you stronger , right , nicole ? so ... deal . brady : of course you can trust me . good god . come on , you 're mad at me because i - i kept a friend 's confidence ? i was respecting nicole 's privacy . eric : brady , you do n't understand how many hours that i spent with you in here , talking about the importance of trust and honesty . brady : i did n't lie to you . i did n't lie to you . i just felt it was -- it was not my place to say anything at the time . but now i see how angry you are . damn , i wish i would have said something , and i apologize for that . i 'm very sorry , and i would like -- can we just please get past this crap ? eric : no , i do n't think i can just get past this . i do n't even think that i can stand up in front of you and kristen and perform your marriage . i do n't think ... brady : what are you t -- eric : i can even do this . do you understand that ? brady : are you kid -- are you kidding ? eric ! this ... is me . sami : you know , it just feels like finally -- finally , after all these years , the fact that i know ej so well and he knows me so well , it -- it paid off . we did n't do the same old , same old . will : yeah , you did n't -- you did n't shoot him in the head , point - blank . sami : yes , exactly . right . god . i 'm just so happy , because our relationship , it really is working . and i do n't care that we do n't have a wedding date yet . that does n't matter . i 'm not worried about it at all . will : i mean , i 'm happy for you . sami : i am happy for all of us . will : oh , okay . ej : all right , then . let 's get you out of here , shall we ? you okay ? chad : yeah , i was just thinking . karma really is a bitch . ej : things did n't work out with abigail ? chad : she does n't hate me anymore . but yeah , it 's -- it 's over . ej : sorry . i know how much she meant to you . chad : it 's , uh -- it 's okay . i had it coming , right ? [ phone rings ] ej : oh , this is father . no doubt wanting to know what time you 're gon na get to the airport . same as the last eight times you asked .

[ clears throat ] kate : um , you know , i have some calls to make . i think i 'm going to be in the study . sami : what 's happening ? what -- is this a bait and switch ? you faked me out , and now you 're really gon na tell me that you do n't think i should do this ? roman : i do n't know . would it work ? has it ever worked , samantha gene ? sami : not because i did n't want you to be proud of me ... not because i did n't want you to approve of me , i did . i always -- i always did . roman : sweetheart , i only wanted you to be safe and happy . sami : well , i did n't make that easy for you either . roman : [ chuckles ] i will be proud of you until the day i die . sami : daddy ... oh , daddy ... lucas : are you sad about leaving ? allie : i 'm sad about ej . i 'm glad we 're going on a trip , but school is no fun anymore . lucas : well , honey , it 's supposed to be hard work . allie : i know . but johnny got into some fights about his last name . lucas : yeah , i know . i heard . you know what ? that probably wo n't happen in california . allie : you 'll come see me ? lucas : of course i 'll come see you . i 'll come see you every chance i get . and we 'll skype , we 'll text , we 'll email . we 'll do all those cool things you like to do . you are the most important thing in the world to me . you know that , do n't you , honey ? allie : i love you , daddy . lucas : i love you too . i love you so much . will : i 'm so glad you came . i told sonny that we should wait as long as possible . adrienne : well , sure , i came as soon as i got the message , so ... will : those shoes that you got arianna ... adrienne : they were too big , you said . will : no , she 'll grow into them , and they 're perfect for the beach . i should go throw them in . adrienne : you want to tell me what 's really going on here ? daniel : did something just happen between you and brady ? kristen : yeah , you could say that . i had that little bitch ! i had rock - solid proof that she 's the one that hit john . daniel : what proof ? kristen : i had it in her own words . she was telling anne that she did it -- i recorded it . daniel : yeah , but how 'd you get it ? kristen : it does n't matter ! what matters is that i had it straight from the horse 's mouth , in her own words , her saying , `` he knows it was me , not brady , who whacked him over the head with a poker . `` daniel : did you tell brady ? did you -- kristen : of course i did . i had him come over , and i played it for him . daniel : and ? kristen : he thought i manufactured it . he chose to believe theresa . he chose to believe her , even though he could hear her confessing . he could hear her saying it . that 's when i knew that ... i just knew it then that it was gone . whatever we had was over . you know , i just wanted to save him . you know that , right ? that 's all i wanted . daniel : it may be hard for him to accept that . kristen : i brought him the truth , daniel . i brought him the truth . i was hoping the truth would just speak for itself . that 's all i wanted . and what it did is it killed any good feeling that he had for me . he could n't believe it . he could n't believe that i had done nothing . i mean , is n't that ironic ? this is the one time i did n't do anything and look what it got me . oh , my god , you must just love this , do n't you ? deep down inside . you love it , right ? daniel : what ? kristen : you get to be right . you 've been saying it all along . brady was never gon na take me back , that you were gon na see to it . look at you . you did n't even have to lift one damn finger , did you ? am i boring you ? i 'm sorry . oh , do -- do you think that i 'm playing a game right now ? you think i 'm up to some tricks , some kristen tricks ? i 'm doing something like that , right ? you think i 'm lying about having my heart ripped out ? daniel : no . kristen : to what end ? daniel : i do n't , kristen . i believe you . your heart is broken . it 's over . i know exactly how you feel . theresa : well , i was right in thinking that your dad and i could mend fences -- brady : shut up , shut up , shut up . john : son , what you heard -- brady : what i heard was that theresa was the one who attacked you . that 's what i heard , just to be clear , just to be honest . let 's just try to be honest for the next hour . i hope we all can do that . theresa was the one who attacked you . that 's what you said , right ? john : yes . brady : and that 's true ? theresa : well , his memory , it is n't really -- brady : you would ... be best to shut your mouth . what about you , dad ? what 's your best -- what 's your best excuse here ? i want to hear your best lie . why would you keep me in the dark and make me believe that i was the one that did this to you ? what could you possibly have to -- oh , i s -- oh , i see . you keep me with theresa , but you keep me away from kristen . so you protect your son from himself . is that -- was that the plan ? that 's why you lied to me ? is that why you did it ? dad , just answer me . is that why you did it ? john : yes . what you see is brilliant haircolor . sonny : will wants to help sami and the kids . so that means he 's going to los angeles with them . adrienne : sami does n't need a babysitter . sonny : no , but she needs her family . adrienne : all right , i can see that . but what about him and his job ? can he even work from there ? sonny : well , the movie people actually hired him to write the screenplay . adrienne : [ scoffs ] the sami brady story . oh , god help us . i can only imagine -- sonny : mom , mom , mom . adrienne : i 'm sorry . i 'm just -- it 's very upsetting . i mean , it 's all so drastic , honey , and you 've only been married six months . sonny : will and i are not separating . it 's not a separation . he wanted me to come with him . adrienne : well , he knows you ca n't just walk away from your business . sonny : that 's not will 's fault . it 's not fair for my business to tie him down . adrienne : and i 'm not blaming him . it just seems odd that -- sonny : no , mom , it 's settled . it 's settled . will and ari are going with sami and the kids to los angeles , and they are leaving today . roman : you have always been fearless , sweetheart . that has never been the question . but now you 've grown up . you 're a great mother , and i know that 's why you 're doing this . sami : i want my kids to have room to breathe . i want time with them . roman : you grab it . enjoy every minute ... because believe me , it goes by so fast . sami : oh , daddy , i -- roman : i love you . sami : i love -- eric : am i interrupting ? sami : hey ! no , i mean , i 'm just happy you 're here too . eric : hey , come on , do you think i 'd let you sneak out of here without a good- bye ? sami : [ laughs ] you 've never let me get away with anything . eric : you got that right . sami : [ laughs ] brady : so you 've been lying all along . john : oh , no , not at first . i honestly did n't remember anything . it all just came back slowly , and i was gon na tell you . i was gon na tell everybody , and ... then i found out that kristen had come back . you remember the day i was gon na tell . everybody was here ... and i took one look at her , and i knew . i could see exactly how all this was gon na play out if i took theresa out of the picture . and i could n't aid and abet kristen . i chose not to help her . brady : dad , what you chose to do was let your son go on believing that he was the one that put his dad in a coma and almost killed him . that 's what you chose to do john : that was my fault . i forced you into that . i did n't blame you . i told you that . brady : it did n't matter . that does n't -- that did n't matter , dad . do you have any idea what i 've been going through -- believing that i was the one that put you into that bed ? do you have any idea ? i 've been eaten up with guilt about this things , and you just let it go on like it was no big -- what did you think that -- that being with this liar was better than being with the other one ? john : i just knew in the long run , neither one of these women were good enough for you . brady : okay , okay , so you were gon na get rid of her too . you were just gon na take care of everything , right ? what a guy . thank you . theresa : look , john 's memory is not really clear . brady : what are you gon na do -- take his side ? you 're gon na take it ? well , you should probably , because his testimony would put your ass right in jail , right ? theresa : no , look , i do n't -- that 's not what i care about , brady . brady : the hell you do n't . theresa : i love you ! brady : oh , you love me ? theresa : yes . brady : here we go . you want to build something with me ? you want to build a relationship with me ? huh ? you know , there was a time when i - i wanted -- i wanted to hear that . i wanted to do that . i do n't want to do that anymore . here 's the deal breaker for me , theresa -- you let me think that i committed your crime . you played me just like he played me . you do n't care about me . and the sickest thing about this whole thing is , the one person that had the respect enough to tell me the truth and to treat me like an adult was kristen ! kristen : please . do n't give me that crap . you live for this , and you know it . are n't you gon na get up and do your superior dance , dr. dan ? huh ? daniel : i 'm not feeling that . kristen : oh , you 're not feeling that ? what the hell are you feeling anyway ? could you please just say something or , better yet , do something , like save your friend from that gold - digger bitch ? daniel : you know , i do n't really need to do that . kristen : oh , you do n't ? daniel : no . kristen : you 're just gon na sit back and let that slut ruin your best friend 's life ? what kind of a healer are you anyway ? daniel : okay , you -- you really should n't be here . kristen : you 're right . i should n't be here . none of this should be happening . daniel : mm - mm kristen : wait . i see what you mean . oh , you 're afraid that jennifer 's gon na find us here together , are n't you ? is that it ? daniel : here 's what you 're gon na do -- you 're gon na leave jennifer out of this . kristen : okay , tell me this , though , is it because she thinks i 'm contagious and that me being even a little bit around you is somehow gon na rub off on you and it 's gon na tarnish your perfectness ? daniel : she does n't think that . kristen : oh , what , she thinks i 'm evil and i 'm toxic ? i 've heard it so many times before . and you 're the perfect one , are n't you ? you 're so perfect . aw . what 's the matter ? did you and jennifer get in a tiff ? did you get in a fight ? or is it that weird thing that nobody quite understands what happened that got your nose out of joint ? what is it ? what does a woman have to do to get into your good graces ? daniel : shut the hell up ! my budget and i are good . but it was n't always that way . roman : okay , now , you keep a good eye on your mom and sisters for me . johnny : it 's my job . abe : hey , johnny . theo and i came to say good - bye . he 's upstairs with his uncle chad right now . but i brought something for you . johnny : that 's daddy 's watch . abe : you recognize it ? johnny : he put it on after his cuff links every day . abe : i thought he would want you to have it . roman : you know , i can poke some more holes in that strap for you . abe : yeah ? you know what -- johnny : it 's two hours earlier in california , right ? abe : well , yeah . that is right . [ chuckles ] your dad would have been very , very proud of you . roman : from the minute you were born , he thought you were the most important guy in the world to him . johnny : we were tight . dad told me to be my own man . abe : that 's good advice . johnny : i want to be just like him . roman : johnny , you know what ? i have no doubt that you will be a good man . will : found them . they were packed away with the other summer things . adrienne : it 's quite an adventure you 're going on . will : i hope so . my mom needs it . adrienne : and it sounds like you got a real good job out of it too . sonny : it was a surprise , mom . will : it just came out of the blue ... such a lucky break . eric : so ... hollywood . sami : i know . it 's crazy . i mean , my first impulse was to tear up the papers . eric : and why did n't you ? sami : well , actually , nicole thought it was a pretty good idea . eric : wait . you spoke to nicole ? sami : more than spoke . we hung out . we had drinks . i mean , it 's not like we 're ever gon na be friends or anything , but , you know . she came to , um , talk to me about ej . eric : yeah . sami : and , uh , and we talked a little bit about stefano and everything , and , you know , she made some good points . and i think i 'm right to go . it feels right . eric : yeah . well , you look like you 're at peace . sami : i do ? eric : you know , well , those maybe not be the right words . i 'm sorry . sami : well , i 'm determined . eric : that 's my girl . sami : yeah . and i 'm really glad too , because if i did n't have a reason to wake up in the morning -- eric : you know , i saw sydney when i came in , and , uh , she was trying to stash that japanese fighting fish in her backpack . sami : no , she was n't ! oh , the two of them ! i could kill them . i mean , johnny actually wanted to pack his gecko . eric : what ? sami : yeah , it was -- i had no way of explaining to them about airplanes and stuff , but , um , you know , they 're crazy kids . eric : yeah . sami : i 'm glad that they have this to look forward to , you know . they 're really excited for this big adventure . eric : that 's a good thing . sami : yeah , it is . and they 're gon na have more time with me , and ... i do n't know -- they 'll probably be begging for me to get a job pretty soon . eric : yeah , i 'm not so sure about that . speaking of which , um ... i want you to put this in your backpack . sami : what ? is that us ? [ gasps ] eric : yeah . i was , like , two years old . grandma -- grandma caroline -- she had an old , beaten - up copy , and i kind of digitized it and cleaned it up a bit . sami : oh , it 's edited . that 's why my hand is in your face . you put that there . eric : i 'm sure you were trying to protect me from something , as always . sami : i was probably trying to protect you from something i had done . eric : nah . [ chuckles ] sami : okay , this is my chance . you ... you , eric brady , are a wonderful human being . and you are so kind . and people take advantage of that , okay ? so you have to work at protecting yourself better . eric : that 's your job . sami : you 're damn right it is . and i 'm not gon na stop . it does n't matter where i am . i 'll be back in a flash if you need me , okay ? eric : you better . theresa : wait . you think kristen is the one who respects you ? brady : you know what ? kristen told me the truth . kristen told me what you did . theresa : she made up a story , brady . she does n't know the truth . no one does . i mean , you and i were both so wasted that night , and john had a terrible injury . his memory was n't clear . i mean , all we know that the truth is , is that ... we may never know what happened that night . brady : you do n't have a clear memory about that night , theresa , hmm ? theresa : well , i know that you did n't do anything wrong . and that 's what 's important . i mean , that 's all that matters . that night 's over , brady . it 's in the past . brady : wrong ! wrong ! that does n't make it okay . you think that makes everything fine ? theresa : no , but , i mean , it 's different than that bitch kristen pretending that she loves you , when all she wanted was revenge . i mean , she lied and manipulated you for months . brady : that is all you 've been doing since that night ! and everybody warned me about you . oh , dad , dad , you got to be loving this right now , huh ? john : none of this is what i wanted for you , son . brady : oh , come on , this is all too familiar . come on . this is the same old song and dance , right ? everybody warns brady about the woman . jenn , maggie , daniel , they all -- dan -- john : what ? brady : dan -- daniel knew the truth too . you told him , right ? did you tell him ? john : no . brady : well , he knew . and kristen told me the truth about that too . daniel : do you want to know ? do you want to know what 's wrong ? you want to know why i wo n't play ? well , jennifer and i -- we are done . we 're as over as you and brady are over -- done forever . kristen : well , i 'm sorry , but that just ca n't be . daniel : well , we talked , and jennifer is done trying to figure out what 's keeping us apart . kristen : you know what ? she never gives up , so just get over yourself . daniel : gone ! she is gone ! you get that ? kristen : okay . so i guess you do understand what i 'm feeling . daniel : [ scoffs ] kristen : good . sami : so the kids are packed ? marlena : yes . uh , sonny and will are helping sydney with something very hush- hush . both : fish ! eric : oh , i got it . i 'll be right back . sami : okay , thank you . eric : not a problem . sami : those guys are putty in that little girl 's hands . marlena : [ voice breaking ] i 'm sorry . i will be out to see you before you know it . and i know you 're bringing the children back here . somehow it just feels ... like a very -- a very big good - bye . sami : oh , mom .

[ exhales deeply ] bo : we 're going to fly out of this mess soon , right ? steve : come on , man . you remember that flight home from ireland ? that made this look like a pleasure cruise . bo : you 're right . compared to what we 've been through , this is nothing . steve : or not . brady : are theresa and i getting closer ? you actually just said that ? daniel : i did . but it 's not just a question . brady : okay . uh , the answer 's no . daniel : oh , so you 're wearing the suit that theresa bought you just so her feelings wo n't get hurt . brady : so what ? daniel : so i remember a time when hurting her feelings made your day . brady : we decided that it 's best if we 're not at each other 's throats . it 's beneficial for our son that way . do n't get me wrong , daniel . i have n't forgotten about what she 's done . she put my dad in the hospital for god 's sake . she also worked it out so melanie , your daughter , the woman that i did love , had to leave town . and then i would -- or i would have lost my kid . daniel : no , i know . i remember all that . i remember it all , believe me . the thing is , i do n't think theresa would do those kind of things anymore . and it 's because of you . brady : no , it 's because of tate . he has that effect on people . daniel : you and theresa are both in a much better place . and you both have that pretty little boy in common , so it makes sense that you would be softening towards her . brady : i 'm sorry , `` softening `` ? where in the hell did you get that ? daniel : well , from you . you mentioned melanie as a woman you did love , past tense . so maybe you 're starting to fall for someone that -- someone new . kate : get off my what ? theresa : look , you may have title and experience , but i 'm good at what i do . and i 'm not here to get coffee . and the only reason i let you be a silent partner is because it 's the only way i could be a designer . you may wear prada , but if you think i am going to play anne hathaway to your meryl streep , you 're dreaming , honey . i 'm a partner in this company . and there is nothing you can do about that . i 'm not here to be your errand girl . and i will not be ignored . got it ? aiden : what are you doing in here with my client ? and why was n't i told about it ? marlena : because i did n't ask anybody . aiden : oh , do n't give me that . this has justin kiriakis written all over it . rafe : marlena , i heard justin tell you not to come in here . marlena : i know . but i also knew that if i looked into chad 's eyes , i 'd be able to tell if that were the man that tried to kill me . rafe : and ? did you do that ? marlena : i did . i do n't believe this is the man you 're looking for . hope : ah ! come on in , come on in . julie : here it is . fresh from the bridal shop . hope : oh , thank you so much for doing that . the kids made brunch for aiden and me today . julie : oh , are shawn douglas and ciara here ? hope : no , they went for a walk with chase . julie : okay . darling , you will not believe how beautiful the martin mansion house looks now , oh , for your wedding and for the reception . it is going to be so grand , right ? caroline : what ? julie : uh , i was just telling hope how -- how elegant the house is going to look . caroline : oh , yes , ni -- very nice . julie : and when she 's walking down the aisle in that gorgeous gown . caroline : going to be beautiful as usual . hope : are you feeling okay ? caroline : yeah . julie : you do n't seem quite like yourself , sweetheart . hope : i do n't want you to overdo it today , okay ? caroline : well , i 'll tell you , i 've been having more visions about bo . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i - i know this upsets you , but i think he 's in real danger . bo : what 'd pete say ? steve : you 're not gon na like it . we have to land . bo : no ! steve : hey , bo it 's the -- [ loud boom ] bo : we 're losing altitude ! kate : so , are you finished with your little diatribe ? theresa : well , that all depends on you . if we 're going to revive basic black , the three of us need to be on the same page . and if that page says anything about you being the grand poobah and i 'm the gofer , then i wo n't be there . kate : i like that you have the guts to go up against me . that 's impressive . but you should know that the character meryl streep played was a fictionalized one , while i 've been known to make the real life version check her mirror to see if she has spinach in her teeth . nicole : that is true . she can do that . excuse me , kate . kate : so here 's the deal , theresa . we treat you like a partner if you act like a partner . which means no more playing nicole and me against each other . no more schemes , no more backstabbing , which you have been known to do in the past . theresa : oh , well you 've often been compared to mother teresa . kate : with a very strong work ethic . which i 'm not sure you have . you 're going to need to keep up . now , i think i 'm going to get off my ass and go get myself some coffee . nicole : okay . theresa : whoa . nicole : brava , chica . i 'm proud of you . brady : look , i 've stopped actively trying to get theresa out of the house because we are parenting together , it 's working , tate is happy . that ai n't love . daniel : okay , just checking . brady : this was just to get nicole going , right ? you 're not actually gon na wear this out in public , are you ? aiden : chad , can you remember any more details that can help ? chad : you heard marlena . i told you i 'm not guilty . aiden : no , no , no . i - i understand . chad : justin seems to think he has an ironclad case and we do n't have a chance . aiden : listen to me , never mind justin . he 's trying to scare you so you 'll incriminate yourself . trust me . you wo n't get convicted . i 'm going to make sure you walk out of here a free man . chad : yeah ? is that a promise ? aiden : it 's a guarantee . andre : i think that aiden finally got the message . stefano : uh - huh , well , he better have . andre : you know , i think we should go to the bicentennial celebration . i 'm not quite sure we 're going to get a warm welcome , but come to think of it , i think you 've been just as responsible in the success of this town as tom and alice horton . stefano : [ chuckles ] if not more . andre : yes , and i 'm sure you do n't want to miss out on the opportunity to see the beloved granddaughter of tom and alice horton on the last night of her life . caroline : bo needs help . hope : caroline . caroline : has kayla heard anything from steve ? i think we should call her . julie : darling , i know you 're worried about bo . we 've all been worried about bo . caroline : no , no , no . this is different . julie : this is hope 's wedding day . we came over here to deliver her dress . caroline : bo is in trouble . hope : caroline , please just -- look ... i 'm sorry . i - i know that you 're upset , but if you could just try to understand that this is really hard for me to listen to right now . please . caroline : i - i think that i should go back to the martin house . julie : can you drive ? hope : caroline . caroline : of course i can drive ! i 've been driving all my life ! julie : well , try and stop her . it 's just a couple of blocks . hope : i should n't have lashed out at her . julie : you did not lash out at her . she wanted to -- hope : i did . please , julie , just go . make sure she 's okay . just go , make sure she 's -- julie : i want to see you in your dress . hope : i 'll take a selfie . i 'll text it to you . please , just make sure she gets to the martin house . julie : okay , be sure to send me the selfie . hope : i will . go , please , make sure she 's -- julie : caroline ! caroline , dear !

eric : you know what , i 'm really happy that sarah is leaving town , staying away from you and your stalking . xander : i 'm no stalker , and actually ... sarah 's still very much in town . lani : yeah , everything 's fine . there 's ... there 's just a lot going on . sarah : ah , yeah . i mean , it ca n't be easy . it 's supposed to be the happiest time in your life , but it 's hard to want to kick up your heels when someone you love is facing such a series health crisis . lani : yeah . we 've all been so worried about julie . eli is with her now . sarah : well , tiny little wedding present from me to you . julie is gon na be just fine . she is so excited about tomorrow that we may legitimately have to put guards in front of her doors so she does n't try to sneak out to your wedding . lani : [ chuckles ] that sounds like julie . sarah : she 's the best , is n't she ? lani : she really is . sarah : well , i will see you tomorrow . lani : hey , um , sarah . can i ask you a question about julie ? sarah : yeah , of course . lani : it 's about the pacemaker . gabi : why would jordan do this ? you 've been so good to her . rafe : i do n't know , but i 'm gon na be fine . it 's david that i 'm worried about . gabi : and you think she 'd hurt him ? rafe : well , who the hell knows with her ? you know , i just -- i need to know that david is okay . i mean , i sent jj over to my place to check -- gabi : jj ? rafe : yeah , jj . and of course , you 're right . he has n't gotten back to me -- gi : no , no , they 're gon na be -- rafe , stop , they 're gon na be fine . rafe : no , i need to see this on my own . haley : no , you 're not in condition to leave the hospital right now , rafe . rafe : [ sighs ] ben : wake up , man . wake up ! wake up , jj ! okay , okay . thank god . hey , easy , easy . jj : [ grunting ] ben : easy . all right , all right , all right . jj : [ grunting ] ben : okay , easy , easy , easy . here , here , here . come on . okay , what the hell happened ? jj : i went to check on david and rafe was worried about him , what happened at the party , and i was just about to get him out of here and ... i got clocked from behind . ben : it had to be jordan . ciara : thanks for warning me , jordan , but i already know . yeah , ari switched the cupcakes . so the one rafe ate was probably meant for me . jordan : so that 's how it happened . ciara : wait , you do n't know ? so how did you know that the poison was meant for me ? jordan : because it was obviously ben . ciara : yeah . jordan , ben loves me , and he would never do something like that . jordan : right , i know all about your love for ben and how you think he would never hurt you , ciara , but i 'm telling you i 'm afraid he 's more dangerous than he 's ever been . it 's not just you and rafe . he went after jj . he attacked him . he tried to take david . ciara : what ? jordan : yeah . and it 's not just my son i 'm worried about , ciara . i 'm worried about you . i 'm worried about what might happen to you next . oh ! oh ! oh ! gabi : oh , no , no , no , no . get in the bed right -- rafe : get out of my way . gabi : no , stop , you ca n't even walk . rafe : no , get -- i need to know that david is okay . haley : yeah , except you 'd need these , rafe , to go anywhere . gabi : mm - hmm . haley : which you obviously do n't have and what good would you be doing anybody if you ca n't even stand ? rafe : well , i ca n't just sit here , all right ? i need to do something . gabi : you 're gon na be fine . i 'm gon na find eli , and we will take care of this . rafe : eli ? gabi : yes . eli . rafe : okay , eli . gabi : yes . rafe : find him . gabi : i will . i will . would you just -- i 'm sorry . would you please look after my brother while i 'm gone ? haley : the man is not going anywhere . gabi : okay . eric : sarah 's still here ? xander : turns out maggie tugged at her heart strings , convinced her to stay for eli and lani 's wedding . you know how those hortons love a big family to- do . and i 'll be right in the thick of it . you 're looking at sarah 's date . eric : how the hell did you force her into taking you ? xander : maggie convinced you to stick around for eli and lani 's wedding . i wan na be your plus one . sarah : yeah , no . xander : oh , come on , it 'll be so much fun . sarah : oh , maybe for you . if i take you was my date , i will never hear the end of it . xander : i 'm sure you can handle any flack that comes your way -- come on . i 've gone above and beyond to keep your secret about eric 's baby . do n't you think i deserve just a little something ? sarah : are you blackmailing me ? if you 're worried about that little scare that julie had earlier , the elevated heart rate , the team double checked her pacemaker , and it 's working just fine . tachycardia can happen even with a pacemaker , so it 's really nothing to worry about . lani : thank you for that information , but about the pacemaker itself -- gabi : what about it ? jj : any sign of jordan ? ben : no , she and david are both gone . jj : i 'm sorry . ben : no , it 's not your fault , man ; look , i need to track her down before she makes her next move . jj : well , i 'll go with you . ben : no , no , not a chance . you need to let me get you to the hospital . jj : okay , better idea . i 'm gon na get myself to the hospital . you need to go find jordan . ben : jj , that could be serious . jj : i 'm a professional , okay ? i got it , all right ? so you need to go find jordan and the baby . ben : thank you . [ door slams ] ciara : you think ben is trying to hurt me again ? jordan : i warned you how many times , ciara , but you refused to believe me . right there , is that ben 's jacket ? maybe you should check the pockets . [ dramatic music ] ciara : oh , wait , there is something in here actually . here it is . you know , ben 's been looking everywhere for this , but , uh , it 's hardly evidence that he would try to kill me . jordan : check again , okay ? check all the pockets . ciara : you know what , maybe -- maybe i could hold david and you could check the pockets . xander : i did n't force sarah into anything . she wants me to go to the wedding . she 's felt a bit awkward about going solo , so xander to the rescue , and now she does n't have to . eric : going alone would be a better choice than with you . xander : ca n't beat a good wedding though , can you ? all that love in the air , the romance . who knows ? by day 's end , our sweet , sweet dr . horton might just take a swing on my vine . eric : shut up . why do n't you just stay the hell away from sarah . gabi : i 'm interrupting . oh , i need to talk to you privately . it 's , um , important . lani : okay . sarah : all right , well , if you have any questions for me about julie 's pacemaker , just feel free to give me a call . otherwise , i 'll see you tomorrow . gabi : what the hell was that ? lani : gabi , look -- gabi : it looked like you were about to do something very stupid . it looked like you were gon na tell dr . horton what i did to julie 's pacemaker . lani : i was just about to ask her a question . gabi : yeah , about the pacemaker . i heard . did you think that dr . horton was gon na have it removed without me finding out ? that would be impossible . see , if anybody touches or tampers with that equipment , i 'm gon na find out . instantly . and then ... and then i 'm gon na blow julie 's heart into smithereens , okay ? before anybody can touch that pacemaker . so why do n't you just keep your mouth shut . up until tomorrow of course when you dump eli at the altar . is that clear ? eli : what 's going on ? rafe : okay , well , thanks for the update . i 'm glad to hear that ari 's okay . and obviously i 'm really sorry . i never would have had jordan anywhere near ari if i knew that she was as dangerous as she is . okay , man . thanks , yeah , i 'll be in touch .

[ elevator dings ] jj : hey guys . eli : what the hell happened to you ? jj : rafe was worried about david and jordan , so i went to his house to check things out . and that 's when i got knocked out from behind . probably by jordan , who then took off with david . eli : rafe 's been helping jordan . why would she poison him ? jj : i do n't know . who knows why jordan does what she does , but ben 's out looking for her . but he 's worried that ciara 's a target . eli : where 's ciara now ? jj : home , but alone , and ben told her not to answer the door to anybody . eli : she could be in danger . lani and i are on it . ben : jordan . what are you doing here ? jordan : as if you do n't know . i just informed ciara how you tried to poison her . ben : i know about the cupcakes . i know how they got switched . everybody does . you 're the one who tried to poison ciara . jordan : you 're lying . ben : i 'm not lying . jordan , please , you need to let me help you . jordan : you stay away from me . ben : okay , okay , look . i 'm not trying to upset you . but this is over now . jordan : this is not over ! i have to protect my son . ben : yes , you do because you 're a good mom . just like you were a great sister to me when i was kid and i needed protecting . but right now you 're mixed up , jordan . jordan : i 'm not crazy ! ben : i did n't say you were crazy . i 've been where you are , okay ? i know you feel alone , but you 're not alone . i 'm right here with you . just like you were for me when i needed you . it 's mine turn . look at me . it 's my turn to help you . let me help you . let me take care of you and your little boy . okay ? it 's okay . ciara : [ yelps , groans ] ben : jordan ! are you okay ? ciara : yeah , i 'm fine . just go , get jordan . ben : jordan ! nicole : am i interrupting ? eric : no . just xander being his usual ass self . xander : nicole , darling , between you and me , i think your boyfriend 's jealous . eric : that 's ridiculous . xander : then why is he so upset that sarah 's my date to the wedding ? nicole : your date ? how did you force her to do that ? xander : the more important question is , why is he so upset about it ? eric : sarah 's fragile . and i just do n't like the fact that you 're taking advantage of the situation . xander : or could it be you still have feelings for her ?

[ sighs ] [ knocking ] eve : kayla . kayla : hello , eve . mind if i come in ? thank you . eve : so can i ... get you something ? kayla : no , no , i 'm fine . i know it 's your surgery tomorrow , so i thought i 'd just drop in and wish you luck . eve : wow . chief of staff giving pre - op house calls , i 'm honored . why do n't you tell me why you 're really here ? kayla : well , i do know that you 're having throat surgery tomorrow , and they 're not going to want you to use your voice , so this just seemed like the right opportunity to come by and follow up on that conversation that we were having about paige and jj . eve : right . kayla : listen , eve , i want you to know that i 'm very fond of paige . she 's bright , articulate , dedicated . she went on rounds with the residents of the hospital this morning , and you know what ? i think she really likes it . and afterwards i could n't help but notice that she was -- she was awfully down . eve : about what , kayla ? kayla : i think the tension between you and jj . so if you do n't mind , i thought maybe i 'd try to help . jj : it 's like the one thing i never wanted to happen . it 's ruining everything . rory : i just -- i guess i just do n't get it , dude . i mean , okay , this thing that your dad did happened like a thousand years ago . why is that going to screw up things for you and paige ? jj : see , okay , well , the woman who was ... just someone i know , okay . and now paige knows her too . rory : okay . jj : so what if paige decides that i 'm like my dad ? what if i am like him ? you know , i 've got to talk to paige . rory : you know what i think , dude ? i think you need to chill . all right ? you ca n't make paige talk to you . just give her time . let her chill too . all right , she 'll come back around . jj : i 'd probably screw it up if i tried to talk to her right now about it anyway , man . i 'm really screwed up . rory : which is why you need something to take the edge off . hey , not pot , all right ? there 's a party in the woods today . it 's a kegger . no costumes . just come with me . have some fun , dude . jj : i do n't know , man . rory : well , i mean , jj , you ca n't sit around here driving yourself nuts . i mean , you know that even if you did talk to paige , like you said , you would just screw things up , so ... it 's time for some r & r , dude . jj : yeah , i guess . rory : sweet , all right . let 's go . whoo ! theresa : where is your purse ? anne : oh , well , good morning to you too , happy pants . theresa : give me your damn purse , anne . anne : what ? it 's right -- hey , that is a $ 40 knock - off of a $ 500 bag . i 'm assuming that this is n't yours . anne : what the hell ? theresa : you know , i told you not to trust that lying dirtbag slut , but did you listen ? no . because kristen dimera 's your new best friend , and you 're going to help her set up a charitable fund . anne : what is this ? theresa : it 's a bug , anne . now kristen has a recording of us talking about what i did to john that night . and she played it for brady . anne : that bitch . i - i -- theresa : no , shut up , anne . anne : i had no idea . i did n't know . theresa : i 'm not done . shut up . brady heard the recording and immediately assumed that it was bogus until he heard john running his own mouth about the fact that he remembers everything that happened that night , including who smashed him in the head . anne : well , holy diggity damn , huh ? theresa : i need to find brady , so i can fix this . marlena : you knew all along ? john : [ sighs ] after a couple of days , it all came back to me . theresa hit me . but if i let brady off the hook with him being all grateful to kristen for coming up with that drug -- marlena : he 'd forgive her for everything . john : brady 's not answering . i got to go find him . marlena : john , please take it easy . look , even though you 've been released from the hospital , you are not fully recovered . john : i know . i wo n't be fully recovered till i find my son . brady : [ exhales deeply ] they 're not worth it . none of them are . they 're not worth it . kristen : well , what sort of happened between us was emotional , was n't it ? i mean , at least for me it was . definitely intense . but , um ... i mean , there 's no us . there never could be , right ? daniel : nope . kristen : and that 's why we stopped it . i mean , when you think about it , we do n't even like each other , do we ? daniel : nah . you got that right . kristen : i know . well , do n't worry . i 'm not going to kiss and tell . i 'm leaving town , so you 're -- you 're gold . daniel : yeah , yeah , you -- you said that . kristen : i meant it . there 's nothing for me here anymore . but that 's not going to stop me from rooting for you and jennifer . daniel : do n't really see that happening . kristen : yeah ? not because of -- no . daniel : no , no , no . not because of what we did . almost did , yeah . [ both laughing ] daniel : yeah , i mean , it 's really because of what i did n't do . she needed me to step up and find a way to get past what went wrong with us , and i did n't do that , so ... trust me , it 's -- it 's over . kristen : mm . well , believe it or not , i 'm a hopeless romantic . but that does n't mean i 'm going to stick around and wait to see you get your happy ending .

john : yeah . steve : we were in the room when she tried to revive him and failed . john : that 's what he was counting on so we 'd let our guard down , and we did it , pal . steve : they ca n't still be anywhere in the hospital , right ? i mean , the minute you put out that apb , the place was swarming with cops . john : that 's why i got the security footage here . we snuck 'em out . you know , all those cameras are on the exits , so all we got to do is figure out where they went out and then we 'll know where to start looking . steve : what do you got there ? where 's the morgue ? john : right over here .

[ stammers ] i gave you cpr myself . i could n't revive you . orpheus : do you really want to spend the last moments of your lives talking about how i thwarted your plan to bring me down ? or maybe you 're just buying some time in the hopes that your heroes will figure out where you are and save you before it 's too late . ladies ... we could be here for weeks . they 'll never find you . i made sure of that . but , if only just to satisfy your morbid curiosity , i 'll happily recount my resurrection tale . [ chuckles ] i 'm actually -- actually rather proud of it . lazlo and i had a backup plan in the event that i was captured by the police . and thanks to your carelessness , doc , it was like taking candy from a baby . it all started on that fateful night at the police station . when you left your bag unattended . and once lazlo replaced the contents of your bottle with the drug he brought ... the only thing left for me to do was to convince you that i was ready to meet my maker . kayla : the drug you took only simulated your death . marlena : long enough for your stay in the morgue . orpheus : and after the hell your husbands put me through , frankly , i was due for a nice , long rest . at the appropriate moment , lazlo here retrieved and revived me so that i could finish what i started . marlena : you mean kidnapping us . orpheus : [ laughs ] hardly , hardly . that was just the first step . no , in the spirit of halloween , i 've come up with a ... a very festive , um -- [ chuckles ] luminous plan to help you two with your transition . marlena : transition ? orpheus : from this world into the next . and when i 'm through ... john and patch will finally know the pain that i 've felt all these years . and they 'll never stop feeling it . for as long as they live . rafe : justin 's gone to talk to the acting d.a . so ... you still think that aiden gave you the only copy of our conversation ? hope : he said he did . i believed him . rafe : why ? why , hope ? why would you believe him ? the guy was insane . he was trying to blackmail you into having a relationship with him -- who does that ? hope : but that was before i got through to him . rafe , once he realized that he was about to do to me what chase did to ciara , something changed inside of him . he seemed different . rafe : yeah , seemed . `` seemed `` being the operative word . hope : no . more than seemed . i felt it . and not that i trust my instincts anymore , but right now , i 'm telling you , i just ... i just know he was n't lying to me . rafe : then how the hell did andré get a recording of our conversation ? hope : i do n't know . i do n't know ! [ sighs ] i need to talk to him . roman : andré . where did you get that recording ? andré : what difference does it make ? the killer confessed . and if you 're worried that rafe destroyed the only evidence , do n't be , because i made many , many copies . and that little snippet that we heard tonight ? it 's just the tip of the iceberg , commissioner . rafe : no , you are not gon na talk to andré . in fact , you 're not gon na talk to anyone . you 're gon na stay quiet , and you 're gon na listen to what justin has to say , and then we 're gon na formulate a game plan . do you understand me ? am i clear ? any chance he said where the tape came from ? roman : no , he did n't . but he did imply that he 's got enough to implicate all of us . rafe : oh , i do not give a damn what he says . hope : i 'm responsible for what happened here . let me handle it . rafe : no , you 're not gon na handle it . we tried that once , remember ? you kept me in the dark and then you went to aiden and you put yourself in harm 's way . you remember that ? hope : i was fine . rafe : you were lucky , is what you were , okay ? we 're not gon na do that this time . i 'm not taking the chance , do you understand ? hope : after everything that 's happened , you 're still trying to protect me . rafe : yeah . hope : we both know what i did . and andré has the proof he needs to make the charges stick . [ door closes ] mayor : this is obviously another attempt by dimera to discredit the department . but you 're a decorated cop who just received a commendation for bravery . and i will not tolerate an attack like this . what i need to know is if there 's a reason why he singled you out and how he managed to get your voice on tape confessing to murder . roman : listen , there does n't need to be a rhyme or reason for the dimeras to try to ruin somebody 's life . rafe : he 's absolutely right -- this time it was hope , next time it could be me , could be him , you . mayor : that does n't explain how he got her voice on tape confessing to murder . and if we do n't come up with something soon , the media will have her tried and convicted before sunrise . the `` spectator `` is already having a field day with what 's going on -- roman : hey , listen , we 'll work this out . rafe : mr. mayor ... andré : my , my ... are n't you an internet sensation after tonight 's unveiling . hope : should n't you be on the other side of the table ? andré : on the contrary . for the first time in my life , i 'm the accuser , not the accused . perhaps you should take your place on the other side . i love you so much . [ phone beeps ] rafe : no answer . not that jennings would take my call , especially in light of this . roman : hey , let me ask you this . is there any chance this could be aiden 's way of taking a final parting shot at hope before he left town ? rafe : that 's what i thought at first too , but ... hope was pretty adamant that jennings was sincere in his promise to keep quiet about stefano 's murder , so obviously , andré found another way to get his fingers on that recording . roman : and when he did , he made a lot of copies . andré : i have to admit , it 's quite the night , has n't it been ? from heroic commendations to true confessions . well , if you 're going to exercise your right to remain silent , i 'm more than happy to play along . you 're probably wondering , like everybody else , how on earth was i able to get that recording ? even though i have n't told anyone , i 'm willing to tell you , hope , and come clean . it was quite easy , actually . i knew that , after what he had done to you , all of you -- that there 'd be no way that you would willingly reconcile with aiden . that he must 've been blackmailing you with something so big to force your hand . how did i know that , when i went to his hotel room , that i would find out what that something was ? hope : you broke into aiden 's room . andré : yes . yes , and cracked open the safe . it was such an easy feat . i knew that aiden was so obsessed with you that the combination had to be ... hope- related . so when i punched in your date of birth , it just popped open . hope : so that 's how you got the recording . andré : oh , and i made so many , many copies of it . and then i returned the original back to the hotel , with aiden never knowing that it was gone . did you really think ... that you would get away with murder ? and then set me up for it ? did you not think that i would seek revenge for -- for what you did ? i know you probably fooled everyone with your lie . with salem thinking that you 're -- that you 're its patron saint . but i knew better . i know who you are , hope . and i have proof . [ chuckles ] not only are you a hypocrite and a liar ... but a murderer . gabi : chad ! chad , wait up . hey , are you okay ? chad : [ clears throat ] i 'm -- i 'm so sorry , i did n't mean to just leave you . gabi : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . i know that you 're pretty shaken up about hope 's confession . chad : yeah , i mean -- what the hell was that ? what , is that a confession ? or like , uh -- someone 's playing a sick joke on me ? gabi : i know , i do n't know what 's happening , and i ca n't understand it , but i know that you 're shaken up . and i 'm sorry . chad : no , i mean -- but , yeah , he was my father , and my brother andré ... i 'm sorry , sweetie , i 'm sorry . my brother andré told me months ago that hope was the one that killed my father , and i did n't believe him , because why ? 'cause my brother , andré , he 's -- he 's crazy . and i thought , `` hope is not the kind of person that would do something like that , but if she was , how is she gon na walk around , living her life , after she just took somebody else 's ? `` gabi : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that you 're going through this . can i help you ? is there anything that i can help you with ? it 's all right . chad : i 'm sorry . steve : no , no , i do n't care what that other case is about , man . lives are on the line here . all right , you had better tell him it 's urgent . john : you still ca n't get ahold of roman ? steve : apparently , we 're not the only ones dealing with a crisis tonight . john : what the hell 's more important than finding doc and kayla ? steve : i do n't think roman knows it 's about them . he 's behind locked doors . but raines has assured me he 's taking it very seriously . he 'll send some more detectives down here . john : we ca n't wait on them , we got to get our butts down to the pier . steve : why , what 's down there , did you get another lead ? john : not exactly , but take a look at this . see the stamp on the end of that box ? steve : yeah . john : now , the company that manufactures these boxes , they operate out of a warehouse down by pier 16 . now , if -- if orpheus was here at the morgue during that whole time , that henchman , he had to be the one to go in there and purchase and make that delivery . steve : so if we show that picture around down there , maybe somebody will recognize it . john : give us a lead , man . let 's go . orpheus : ready for step two . [ ominous music ] marlena : what 're you planning ? orpheus : well , if i told you , it would ruin the surprise . kayla : what difference does it make if you 're gon na kill us , anyway ? orpheus : do n't get maudlin on me , sweetness . kill the holiday mood . ladies , i 'm going out for a ...

justin : you do n't want to worry your mother . sonny : but i 'm stuck in this bed . it 's gon na drive me crazy . justin : i promise you , no one is abandoning the search . not until we get the answers that we need . sonny : but last night -- justin : we all know what happened last night , okay ? in fact , i 'm heading down to the police station right now to make sure that this crackpot elvis impersonator does n't press charges against you . sonny : he knows something about will . i can feel it . justin : if he does , we 'll get to the bottom of it . okay ? but for now , we want to make sure that you 're out of trouble . okay ? sonny : okay . justin : good . hang in there . you 're all right . listen to your mother . sonny : mom , please . you have to help me . marlena : i do n't understand why it 's so hard to find another good lawyer in this town . john : well , i -- hey , will this guy do ? paul : justin , what 's up ? marlena : oh , my gosh , when did you get here ? justin : well , adrienne and i just arrived . came directly from the airport . what 's going on ? marlena : sami 's being held in jail here . she assaulted an officer , and we 're trying to get her out of here . justin : well , there 's legal reciprocity between memphis and salem . i could take her case . john : all right . marlena : you can ? oh ! oh , that would be great . justin : i 'm heading down there right now . i 'll see what i can do . john : sounds good . think you can get her out ? justin : well , assuming sami does n't do anything to make her situation worse . john : [ chuckles ] good luck . lucas : [ clears throat ] i am not doing it . i am not helping you escape . sami : what ? why not ? lucas : because it 's not gon na work , and we 're gon na get busted , that 's why . sami : not if you do it right . lucas : you 've been arrested twice in as many days . one more time , and that 's it . strike three , and you 're going to jail . sami : oh what , you come up with that all by yourself ? lucas : you 're making things worse , that 's the point . sami : no , what 's making things worse is us standing here talking about doing nothing . lucas : we 're not going to be able to do anything if you 're in jail . what 's the big deal ? sami : why are you always so dramatic ? lucas : i 'm dramatic ? ! me , i am ? ! look at you ! you 're the one who stole hope 's gun and you pulled it on rolf . sami : you heard about that . lucas : yeah , and then you beat up a cop . what 's going on with you , huh ? sami : okay , i did not beat up a cop , lucas . stop saying that , okay ? i just barely scratched him . lucas : you verbally abuse everybody , everybody you run into . especially the people that care about you . sami : you know what i was doing last night ? i was trying to find our son . what were you doing ? i found a lead , and i followed it . did you just get yourself drunk ? another drunken stupor like every night -- lucas : you do n't know what i do ; you have no idea . you do n't know what you 're talking about . sami : i know will would be ashamed of you . lucas : take it back . you take it back right now . sami : you snap out of it , lucas . this is serious . and i need your help ! and will needs your help . will could be alive out there , and if he is , he needs us . roger : you do n't have to worry now . i 'm doing what the king does best -- tcb . just taking care of business . i got a restraining order right here in my hot little hands . now if that sami brady or any of them salem yahoos try to get in here again , they 'll spend the next five to ten singing `` jailhouse rock . `` . gabi : that was so nice of eli to come with me to pick you at school , right ? and then to treat us to ice cream ? [ laughs ] arianna : thank you , eli . eli : you are more than welcome . and hey , i 'm always looking for an excuse to buy ice cream anyway . gabi : well , you 've got a long day tomorrow . so we should probably go . come on . arianna : no , do n't go . eli : [ laughs ] you know , i think i can stay a little bit longer . gabi : yeah , you would n't mind ? arianna would love that . thank you . eli : oh , please , there is no one i 'd rather be hanging with than you two . and besides , if i 'm really nice , maybe you 'll share your halloween candy with me ? gabi : [ gasps ] no , no , he 's taking it way too far , right ? no , eli , come on . arianna : eli . eli : yes ? arianna : my daddy 's coming to school tomorrow . gabi : um , ari , honey , listen . i just got some news , and your daddy actually , um -- he wo n't be able to make it tomorrow . he 's fine . he 's in the hospital . he 's in a place called memphis in tennessee . so he 's not gon na have enough time to get back here , but i was thinking that maybe i could read the story . i mean , i know i 'm not a daddy . but i 'm really great at reading stories . arianna : no , i want daddy . adrienne : as soon as you 're out of -- just take a sip -- as soon as you 're out of this hospital bed , i am gon na take you and arianna to the toy store , and i am gon na buy her the biggest stuffed animal i can find on those shelves . sonny : ari . adrienne : what ? what 's wrong ? sonny : tomorrow is father / daughter day at her preschool . i 'm gon na miss it . adrienne : well , i 'm sure we can work something out . maybe we can go next week . sonny : damn it ! i ca n't believe i 'm stuck here in this depressing hospital at a time like this . having everyone else get the answers for me . i 've got this freak elvis on the run , sami 's in trouble , and we 're not closer to finding out about will . adrienne : all right , listen to me . i know this is frustrating , all right ? but marlena , sami , lucas , everyone who loved will are as anxious to find out what 's going on as you are . sonny : no , they 're not . adrienne : yes , they are . of course they are . they all loved him . sonny : they were on good terms with him when he died . they have n't had to live with the guilt . wondering if i had n't pushed him away , if i was with him , if things would 've been different . adrienne : no , sonny , don't . sonny : do n't what ? do n't face the truth ? that i hurt him , that he died thinking i abandoned him ? adrienne : you do n't know that . sonny : yes , i do . if i had n't turned my back on him , if only i was with him at the time that that happened -- adrienne : sonny , sonny , listen to me , all right ? listen , just do n't play the `` if only `` game , all right ? it 's not helpful , and all -- what are you doing ? you 're punishing yourself . for what ? you and will were having problems when he died . honey , your anger was justified . sonny : i was so judgmental . i was unforgiving . i pushed him and pushed him . he reached out to me , and i ignored him . i ca n't -- [ winces ] adrienne : baby , what ? your head ? does it hurt ? sonny : it 's fine . it 's fine . adrienne : listen to me . listen to me . look at me . i need you stop torturing yourself with this guilt and this regret . honey , you 're a wonderful man with the most beautiful heart . and all of us , when we 're in relationships , i mean , emotions run high . they always do . and feelings , they get hurt , and sometimes so -- so profoundly , because so much is on the line . but no matter how much hurt and disappointment there is , there is always the love . does that make any sense ? sonny : yeah . you always make sense , because you ... you speak from your heart . adrienne : i just hope i 'm able to make you feel better . sonny : you always make me feel better , mom , thank you . adrienne : yeah . that 's the plan , right ? you need to get some rest , baby . it 's been a long week , okay ? sonny : hey , did -- did you ever talk to lucas ? did you let him know that it was bonnie who broke it off with him ? adrienne : i never found him . sonny : so lucas does n't know ? adrienne : it was so sad . i went to his hotel room , and all i found were empty alcohol bottles . i do n't know where he is , but i just hope that i 'm not too late . sami : i should 've known better . i should 've known better than to count on a reckless drunk . lucas : at least i can be honest about my drinking . i do n't run and hide from things like some people i know . sami : what ? lucas : you know what , i do n't want to get into this with you right now . you have no idea . you have no idea what i 've been through . sami : yes , actually , i do . because i loved will too , and if you 're talking about adrienne , i 'm sorry for what you went through , but at least she 's still alive . lucas : i did n't mean that . you know i did n't mean that . sami : i lost ej forever . okay ? i 've spent a year chasing shadows across the globe , but i had to pretend that everything was fine for our kids . every morning i had to wake up and be a mother to them . so yeah , look . we lose people that we love , and it sucks , but we ca n't sit here wallowing in self- pity , and we ca n't play the blame game . we have to just be brave and move on , and i 'm talking to you ! if you ca n't deal with this on your own , then you have to go get help . you have to talk to aa or to someone . do something to get your life back on track ! lucas : hold on , hold on ! i came here to help you , and you throw my problems in my face ? sami : you know what , i do n't need your help ! you just focus on you ! lucas : i jumped on a plane for you ! i came all the way here to make sure you were okay ! i was gon na tell the police that we 've been going through a hard time lately with all the losses we 've had , but you know what ? you want out of here , get out of here on your own ! i 'm gon na go get some real answers for a change . good luck . sami : luke ! you know what ? fine . i 'll find a way out of here on my own . . sami : hey , um , officer ? look , i know . um , just one thing . i want to apologize . i 'm sorry , i really am sorry for -- for hurting you . i 've just been through a lot this last year . i 'm -- i 'm a new widow . and , um , and then my son died , and it 's been a lot to take in , you know , and so ... i 'm acting crazy , and i apologize . and i guess i just have to ask if you could cut me a little slack -- just , you know , take the handcuffs off for a minute so i can breathe ? you should 've thought about that before you attacked a cop . sami : attacked a cop ? ! are you serious right now ? i scratched you ! it was a tiny little scratch ! you know , my dad -- justin : sami , sami , sami . uh , justin kiriakis . i am ms . brady 's attorney . she 's all yours . sami : what are you doing here ? justin : well , i ran into your mother in the hospital . sami : right . oh , my god . how 's sonny ? justin : he 's gon na be fine . thanks for asking . so i 'm handling your case now . the good news is , i ran into the da on my way in here . you 're free to go . sami : really ? oh , my god , that 's great . thank you . justin : yes , yes . i guess this roger fisher decided not to press charges . the bad news is , you are aware that there 's a restraining order ? okay ? so you ca n't get anywhere near him or his house , okay ? sami : yeah , no , i , i -- justin : or you go directly to jail . sami : he is lying about will . justin : no , no , sami , sami ! you got to back off . and this applies to you and everyone else that was there last night . okay ? now you should be grateful that they 're letting you go . 'cause you really ca n't afford to be arrested again . do you get it ? sami ? sami : i got it . justin : good . i got to take care of some paperwork , but if you want to wait for me , i can drive you over to the hospital . sami : thank you . um , no . if it 's gon na be a bunch of paperwork , this restraining order , um ... i should probably just go as soon as i possibly can , you know , 'cause if i stay any longer , i might actually punch that cop in the nose . justin : you sure ? sami : no , i 'm fine . you know what ? i 'm just gon na get a cab and go straight to the hospital , so i 'll see you there . justin : okay , all right . and i 'll get someone to , uh , release those cuffs . sami : okay . thank you . eli : so the book you picked for your dad to read is about skateboarding , huh ? oh , that 's cool . that sounds awesome . you know , i would love to read that book to your class . i know it 'll be sad to not have your dad there , but i 'm not too bad at reading stories myself . especially the ones where princesses can do 720s on a half - pipe . [ phone ringing ] gabi : sonny ? sonny : hey , i 'm sure you 've heard by now . i 'm really sorry i did n't tell you i was heading this way . it just happened so fast . gabi : no , do n't apologize . are you kidding me ? paul told me everything . are you okay ? sonny : yeah , i 'm just dying to get out of here and keep looking for will . gabi : i understand . sonny : and i 'm probably not gon na be able to make it to the father / daughter day . gabi : it 's fine . it 's fine . listen , um , eli 's gon na come in and read for her . sonny : oh , perfect . can you tell him thank you for me ? and also tell our little girl that i love her very , very much . gabi : i will . sonny : okay . and i 'll keep you posted , and if i hear anything about will , you 'll be the first i call . love you . gabi : love you too . adrienne : ari 's okay ? sonny : yeah , gabi seems to have everything under control .

belle : yeah , you know , i mean , people get attached to their siblings . chloe : okay , it 's not just the way that mimi acts . it 's the way that bonnie acts with the baby , like she could n't be less interested . belle : oh , come on . i 'm sure that 's not true . chloe : i 've been searching for just a glimmer of maternal instinct with her , and there 's nothing there . she barely looks at the baby . and then there was this weird comment she made about how when she and lucas slept together , that he passed out before it was over . belle : [ laughs ] i 'm sure you misheard that . chloe : no , i heard her just fine , and i 'm no biologist , but if he passed out before it was over , then how exactly did she get pregnant ? belle : i do n't know . did you ask her ? chloe : yeah , i did ask her , and she immediately changed her story to something that made no sense , like , `` oh , he passed out before the second round . `` whatever , i did n't buy any of it . belle : well , maybe you did n't buy any of it because of your feelings for lucas . chloe : no , it 's because bonnie was drunk when she blurted it out . it actually felt like a rare moment of honesty from her . belle : this is all speculation . chloe : come on , belle . she 's in the middle of a custody fight , and she has her turn with the baby , and she decides to just go off and get sloshed ? how does that even make any sense ? belle : bonnie actually feels really bad about getting drunk that night . chloe : i 'm sure she does . thank god mimi was with the baby . oh , you should 've seen it when mimi had to give the baby to lucas . she looked heartbroken . meanwhile , big bonnie was just standing there playing on her phone , no emotion at all . belle : well , every mother 's different . chloe : come on , belle . i know that you 're her lawyer , but you have to admit that there 's something very suspect going on . see , you ca n't even answer me because you 're wondering too . belle : listen . there 's one giant hole in your theory , which is that mimi ca n't have children . your mornings were made for better things sami : i 'm looking to get some dna results myself . lucas : i hope that you 're looking for some answers . sami : kayla drew blood , but now i have to get someone for her to compare it to . lucas : what about sydney and johnny ? sami : thought about that , but they do n't know how close we are , and i do n't want to get their hopes up about their dad . lucas : well , you could just steal a toothbrush or something . you do n't have to tell 'em . just , you know , cut a little hair . sami : they 're really far away . i kind of want to get answers now . lucas : well , since we do n't know if stefano 's alive , that leaves one person , right ? sami : right . my least favorite loony bird , susan banks . lucas : so what 're you gon na do ? how are you gon na get her dna ? sami : jam a swab in her mouth or maybe just rip some hair off her nutty head . lucas : that sounds good . but do n't get thrown in jail this time , you know ? sami : that 's a good tip . lucas : it 's bad for you . sami : yeah , thank you . i 'll do my best . lucas : well , i hope everything works out for you , i really do . sami : and congratulations on your little girl . i 'm happy for you . lucas : thanks . belle : you know as well as i do that mimi had complications after the abortion , and every one of her doctors told her she was infertile . chloe : i know , i can remember that , but doctors are wrong sometimes . i mean , they told me that i could n't get pregnant again , and we all know how that turned out . belle : chloe , there was a dna test done . it showed that the parents were bonnie and lucas . chloe : well , i do n't know how dna works , but bonnie and mimi are mother and daughter . maybe it was a close enough match . belle : okay , then , how do you explain the lucas part ? chloe : i do n't know . i guess i can't . belle : i get that you want to protect lucas , and i also get that bonnie is not a , uh , conventional mother , but she is the mother , whether you like it or not . mimi : could you be any more obvious when you throw yourself at someone , please ? bonnie : ow . i 'm sorry . i was just trying to be nice to lucas , for the baby 's sake . mimi : that was n't nice . it was flirty . bonnie : i was not flirty . mimi : `` is n't it amazing how we made that baby together ? i knew something special happened that night . `` bonnie : well , what can i say ? the man is sexy . come on . mimi : and he 's in a relationship with chloe . bonnie : oh , please , we all know how that 's gon na end up . you and i were on to ghoul girl when you two were in high school , remember ? mimi : do n't call her that . i 'm not proud of how i treated her back then . bonnie : really ? everything is so pc these days . i mean , come on , we all know that she 's gon na get some obscure opera role in some way - out part of the world and leave poor lucas in the dirt again . mimi : you sound jealous . bonnie : of chloe ? i do n't think so . mimi : you hate her because you want lucas all to yourself . bonnie : i do not . mimi : i see the way you look at him . and you 've already admitted that you 're scared of ending up alone . bonnie : well , honey , are n't we all ? mimi : mom . do you have some crazy idea that you 're going to ride off into the sunset with lucas ... and my baby ? sarah : please tell me that susan 's room is not next to ours . maggie : well , i think you 're at a safe distance . rex : she is extremely odd . but i have to say , she was n't entirely off about all that baby talk . sarah : she 's not ? rex : no . i mean , i do n't know . when i was holding baby bonnie , my niece , in my arms ... there was a really strong connection there . maggie : that means you 're gon na make a wonderful father someday . rex : i hope so . 'cause guess why ? i really want that . sarah : are we ... really having a baby conversation in front of my mother ? i mean , that 's like waving honey into the nose of a bear . maggie : oh , come on , now . i 'm not pushing you to have kids . i have my holly to satisfy my grandmotherly urges . for a while . sarah : good . so , before we , uh , talk about baby , can we focus on the wedding ? rex : yes , yes . of course . we can . absolutely . sarah : yes . maggie : okay , that 's fine . i think we could use a little joy around here . how would you feel if i threw you an engagement party ? susan : [ gasps ] what 're you doing here ? sami : i 'm here to see you , susan . susan : oh , please , sami . please do n't kill me . bonnie : i 'm not trying to make lucas fall in love with me . mimi : then what are you trying to do ? bonnie : if i get along with him , he vouches for me , and i stay out of statesville . simple as that . mimi : it better be that simple because i am never letting you take my baby . i 'm helping you stay out of prison , and that 's it . once this is over , i 'm taking my little girl back . bonnie : when did you get so paranoid ? mimi : maybe i 've just learned my lesson . and lucas is right . you should n't be left alone with her . bonnie : i 've raised kids before . mimi : it 's a miracle we survived . bonnie : you know , i did n't hear you complain when i took the rap for you and did hard time , sweetheart . mimi : i 'm going for a walk , and i 'm taking my baby with me . bonnie : great . i 'll come with . mimi : no . i need some time alone with my daughter . bonnie : what am i supposed to do ? mimi : take a shower . drink some strong coffee . reevaluate your life . because , if you do n't pull it together , i swear , no matter how much you threaten me , i will take her and go . i will do whatever it takes to keep her safe . she comes first . [ door clicks shut ] sarah : mom , i appreciate you wanting to throw us an engagement party , but ... do you think now 's the right time ? i mean , people are still grieving nicole . maggie : nicole would 've been the first to say we should grab all the happiness that we can . she would n't have wanted us to stop living our lives . sarah : are you sure ? maggie : like i said . we could all use some joy right now . rex : well , when did you want to have this party ? maggie : how about tonight ? sarah : like ... tonight , tonight ? rex : tonight ? maggie : tonight , tonight . yes , we could just , uh , combine a `` welcome home '' - engagement celebration . i 'll invite your close friends and family only . rex : um ... i mean , if you 're okay with it , i - i am . [ laughs ] sarah : sure . why not ? maggie : okay , well , i 'll make the calls , and you all do n't have to do anything except , uh , be yourself , show up , and be charming . rex : oh , maggie . sarah : oh . maggie : bye . love you . sarah : love you . rex : love you . maggie : okay . [ laughs ] oh ! it 's cold ! rex : i guess we 're having a party . [ laughs ] chloe : okay , maybe i let my imagination run away from me , and i 'm sorry if i put you in an awkward position . it 's just that ... lucas is really starting to fall in love with that little girl , and ... okay . tell me that that does n't look like a mother to you . sami : i 'm not here to murder you , susan . susan : well ... what 're you here for ? sami : i 've spent a lot of time lately thinking and ... reflecting . susan : reflecting on what ? sami : you , actually , and , um ... our relationship . susan : oh . we have a relationship ? sami : well ... yeah , and ... i came here because i want you to know that i forgive you for what you did to will . susan : really ? sami : really . susan : really ? sami : really . susan : really ? sami : can we , um , you know , move past the `` really `` stage ? susan : oh , yes , yes . of course we can . i just never thought i 'd hear those words come out of your mouth . sami : right . susan : i took your will , and i - i kept him from you , and i made you believe he was dead . sami : you know what , it 'd be better if we did n't rehash the whole thing . susan : oh , yes , yes , yes . whatever you say . i just , i should apologize for trying to turn will into my elvis . it 's just , you have to understand , i - i miss and i love him so much . [ cymbal shimmering ] sami : i do know that . and i understand it because i feel the same way . i mean , that is something that you and i have in common , susan . susan : i ... i reckon you 're right about that . sami : yeah . i am . and you know what , i 'm -- i 'm really glad that i came here and that we had this talk . i do n't know about you , but i feel so much better . susan : [ gasps ] no . do n't touch me . [ tender music ] belle : what 're you doing ? chloe : i need to get some answers . belle : well ... chloe : hi , mimi . mimi : chloe . chloe : so , i see you 're here , alone again , with the baby . where 's her mother , nursing a hangover ? mimi : why is it any of your business ? belle , what is this about ? belle : uh , chloe and i were just discussing the custody case . chloe : yeah , and why your mother does n't really seem to care about this baby . seems like she 'd rather be , i do n't know , drinking , playing on her phone , doing anything other than being a mother . all this responsibility seems to be falling on your shoulders . belle : you know what , mimi , why do n't you let me walk you guys back to the inn ? mimi : okay . chloe : belle , is this your way of telling me to go away ? belle : listen , chloe . i heard what you said , and you 're wrong , and i think you just need to let it go and let the court decide what 's best for the baby . chloe : okay . i 'm sorry . it 's not really any of my business , i guess . i am just extra - emotional because of what happened to nicole and holly . please , will you just tell bonnie to take really good care of that little girl ? mimi : we will . sami : what is wrong , susan ? susan : i ca n't hug you 'cause i got a cold , and it 's very , very contagious . sami : that 's okay , i have a very strong immune -- susan : no , i -- no , i -- i 'm not gon na get you sick and then you go around blaming me , nope . no , i 'm not one of those nasty germ spreaders who just go sneezing in their hand and then go touching people with it , nope . sami : okay , no , uh , i get it . do you mind my asking what you 're holding onto there ? susan : oh . oh , my god , that 's crazy . crazy ... likeness of my mother . susan : you really think so ? sami : i really do . susan : thank you , sami . sami : [ chuckles ] susan : thank you so much . i - i made it myself . sami : you do n't say . susan : yeah , made it for your mama and john for their wedding present . sami : that is such a thoughtful gift . susan : mm - hmm . and i made the dress to match your mama 's , uh , old wedding gown , of course . sami : right , uh , very detailed . susan : i spent hours and hours on it , just me and little tiny marlena . yeah . her dress got torn because that awful kristen stabbed it , and i fixed her up . sami : wow , you , uh ... right , um , well , you are clearly a very creative artist , susan banks . susan : did you notice the hair ? it looks just like the real hair , does n't it ? sami : very lifelike . susan : you want to know a secret ? sami : yes . susan : it 's real hair . sami : oh . susan : my hair . [ cymbal shimmering ] sami : you used your hair ? susan : yeah . i tugged it out myself . and i dyed it to match marlena 's color , and i just thought it would be real nice to have something of me in here , do n't you think ? sami : why , susan , i think it 's just ... perfect . bonnie : oh . back already ? lucas : yeah . the visitation 's over . where 's bonnie ? bonnie : um ... she 's not here . lucas : she 's not here ? what do you mean , she 's not here ? i ca n't believe you . i just left you with her ! this is the second time in a row ! what are you doing ? what kind of mother are you anyway ? sami : well , i guess i have to ask what you 're planning to do with that beautiful doll now . susan : well , i was actually about to bring it to dr . marlena in the hospital when i ran into you . it 's the main reason i 'm still here in salem , is to make sure she gets it . sami : huh . well , you are a very thoughtful friend . susan : tried to get it to her before , but they would n't let me . so , now that she 's , um , feeling better , i thought i would , uh , give it another try . sami : you ca n't do that . susan : well , why not ? sami : because you just told me you have a cold . susan , my mother 's been through a very serious surgery . you would n't want to get her sick . susan : heavens , no ! no . i know she 's suffered enough from you pumping a bullet into her chest . sami : i was cleared of that . police cleared me of that shooting . susan : oh . well , is n't that nice for you ? i just am gon na keep my distance in the room . i just want to say howdy and give her back the doll . i just had this real feeling that it 's gon na help her with the recovery . sami : oh , i agree with you . i think it really will . it 's just too bad because , um , i know that hospital has a really strict policy about immediate family only . susan : oh . i see . sami : too bad , because i really think that doll would make a big difference for her . susan : well ... would you take it to her ? sami : me ? susan : yeah , i mean , you 're family , and you can visit , right ? sami : yeah , i was planning to go there this morning . i got ta tell you , susan , i would be honored to give my mom a one - of - a - kind gift like that . it would mean a lot to me to be the one to give it to her on your behalf . susan : well , thank you , sami . that 's really nice of you . you have been surprisingly kind . here , i thought you were just here to murder me . sami : [ laughs ] susan . your son is -- was -- the love of my life . susan : well , i have to admit that you were the love of his . now , you tell your mama that i 'm praying for her . sami : [ clears throat ] yeah , i got it . yeah , i 'll be careful . susan : thank you . bye , marlena . sami : oh , my god . okay . she used her own hair , which is super creepy but amazing because it 'll be exactly the dna i need to prove it 's ej . lucas : where the hell is my daughter ? bonnie : stop , okay ? mimi took the baby out for some fresh air . lucas : why did n't you go with her , bonnie ? bonnie : well , i wanted to , but mimi insisted i stay here and get some rest , and she 's right , i 'm feeling much better now . lucas : i 'm glad to hear that . bonnie : well , um ... why do n't you stay for a while ? they 'll be back soon . lucas : how soon ? bonnie : soon . what 's your rush ? i mean , this 'll give us a chance to be alone together . lucas : why would i want to be alone with you ? bonnie : to talk about the baby , of course . look , lucas , i know this is n't a situation that -- that you ever wanted , but ... baby bonnie is ours . we 're gon na be her parents . i mean , really , we ... should not be fighting . we should be thinking about her . we should be doing everything we can to get along , you know ? lucas : yeah . bonnie : and i think that this 'll give us a little bit of time to ... work on our relationship . lucas : yeah , i guess i agree with that . bonnie : well , see ? we can get along . and i promise you , lucas , no matter what happens in this custody hearing ... you and i are in this together . mimi : chloe knows that i 'm bonnie 's real mother ? belle : well , i think she suspects it . but i do think i threw her off the trail . god , i hate lying to her . mimi : i thought she was looking at me like that and asking you all those questions . belle : yeah , well , i think she 's seen a lot of clues . mostly how you act around the baby versus how your mom does . mimi : she 's gon na blow this , is n't she ? belle : you can not let her do that . mimi : my mom 's already made it clear she 's not going back to prison , which means , if the truth comes out , she 'll flip on me , and i 'll be the one behind bars . i 'll lose my baby . belle : do you really think she would do that ? mimi : she 's desperate , belle . we can not let chloe know that i am baby bonnie 's mom . belle : all right , well , as long as you and your mom stick to the story , everything 's gon na be fine , all right ? i mean , i just think chloe 's trying to protect lucas . mimi : what about me ? belle : mimi . i got you . i will protect you , i promise . i will make sure that chloe lets this go . sarah : where 'd you go ? rex : hmm ? what ? sorry . i -- sarah : what 's going on with you ? what 're you thinking about ? rex : just , um ... what - what susan was saying . sarah : ugh . we 're not back on the baby talk , are we ? rex : no , no . no , no , no . um , just about how we should get married sooner than later . sarah : oh , yeah ? rex : yeah . sarah : yeah , you want to marry me sooner ? rex : yeah . sarah : yeah ? husband . rex : like , how 's yesterday sound ? susan : aww ! sarah : susan . did n't see you there . susan : you two make such a cute couple . are you sure there 's no baby on the way ? sarah : no . i told you . there 's no babies . anyway , look , just stop talking about babies . susan : okay , whatever you say , maggie 's daughter . someday , when you have a little one of your own , you 'll understand that there 's no bond like the one between a parent and a child . i miss my elvis every day . sami : kayla ! chloe : kayla ! kayla : oh , my gosh . i 'm popular today . sami / chloe : i need you to run this dna test -- chloe : right now . | susan met with rex and sarah and told them about her premonition about him having a baby in the near future . lucas overheard bonnie and mimi arguing and wanted to know what happened . they did n't tell him that they were arguing over bonnie ruining the case . chloe met with belle and asked her if mimi was the real mother of the baby . sami talked to kayla about getting a dna test done on the guy that was in the warehouse . kayla told her that they needed the dna of a close relative . lucas showed up at the hospital and talked to sami about having a daughter with bonnie . she wondered if she could have fixed the test results . chloe continued to talk to belle about whether mimi was the mother of the baby . belle tried to downplay chloe 's suspicions . belle reminded chloe that mimi could n't have kids . lucas told sami to get a toothbrush from one of the kids . she thought they were too far away . she thought her only solution was to go to susan . he warned her not to go to jail this time . he wished her luck . chloe thought doctors could be wrong and that mimi could still be her mother . belle continued to deny it . mimi thought that bonnie was into lucas . bonnie denied being in love with him . mimi asked her if she thought she was going to ride off into the sunset with lucas and bonnie . rex talked to sarah and maggie about wanting kids . sarah did n't want to talk about it in front of maggie . maggie was fine with waiting to be a grandmother again and wanted to throw an engagement party for them . sami found susan at the kiriakis mansion and wanted to talk to her . |

[ scene_break ] stefano : nicole , why do you always think things are going to go wrong ? nicole : well , just humor me , stefano , please ? what if mia does n't lie ? stefano : does not matter . the thing that is beautiful about gossip is it is like a little , um .... bacteria in the corner . and then suddenly the whole world is infected . nicole : what gossip ? stefano : once you tell elvis the truth about mia and her multiple lovers -- nicole : oh , right . then it will be out there . stefano : right . it will have a life of its own . and if that young man goes through with the dna tests -- nicole : and since ej is sydney 's real father , then the dna test will be negative for chad . stefano : ah , and then chad will definitely believe the lie . huh ? and it just works perfectly . nicole : sounds sweet . and you and i will be the only ones that know the real truth . stefano : [ sighs ] hmm . nicole : hmm . [ scene_break ] rafe : this is amazing . arianna : i 'm totally lost . rafe : okay . do you remember what i was doing before i dropped out of sight ? i was trying to find out what nicole 's big secret was . arianna : right , about her baby , but when you were gone , the truth came out . she actually bought sydney and passed her off as hers . rafe : yeah . here 's the thing . i do n't think all the truth came out . this all goes back to good old dr. baker . arianna : him again ? rafe : oh , yeah . see , i talked to baker 's nurse . i talked to sami , sister theresa . i came up with a timeline . now it 's just a theory , but it 's a theory that made a lot of sense . but now that i definitely know that nicole bought her baby , that theory is starting to sound a hell of a lot like a fact . arianna : okay . you share it with me ? rafe : the baby that sami carried for nine months ... was n't grace . it was sydney . nicole switched sydney and grace the night that they were born . [ scene_break ] brady : you know , mia could just be hanging out somewhere . sami : no way . she was -- she was too upset . brady : well , give her some time . she 's a kid . i mean , arianna , i could n't get ahold of her either . she 's probably doing something . she had her phone turned off . no big deal . sami : so things are good between the two of you ? brady : actually , yeah . yeah , they are . sami : i 'm glad . i 'm glad things are working out . brady : you know , constantly playing with your phone wo n't make it ring . sami : thanks , brady . i 'm aware of that . i 'm just worried about mia . i mean , her old boyfriend is really making things hard for her , you know ? he 's trying to get custody of sydney and she must be going out of her mind . brady : and she 's turning to you for help ? sami ? sami : actually , she turns to will first . [ scene_break ] will : mia , answer me . what -- what 's going on ? mia : will ... when chad left and went to that boarding school last year , i was really upset . i was crying all the time . so my cousin said that i should come to chicago with her for a few weeks . you know , get away and stuff . will : uh , okay . mia : and i was kind of losing my mind , you know , 'cause he never called and i did n't hear from him or anything . [ sighs ] so when we went to the parties , i just kind of did whatever i wanted . and i guess because i wanted to get back at him ... when guys came on to me , i just said , `` okay , `` and i really , really wish i had n't . will : mia , why are you saying this ? where the hell is this coming from ? mia : i needed to tell you . sydney -- i mean , when chad takes the dna test ... i do n't know if she 's his baby . i do n't know who the father is . [ scene_break ] nicole : [ gasps ] ooh . kate : were you just in with my husband ? nicole : yes , i was . but i 'm sure he 's up for another visit . just do n't do anything to upset him , okay ? stefano : ah . katherine . my day is now complete . kate : hm . what was she doing here ? what are you and nicole up to ? [ scene_break ] arianna : okay , i understand that nicole got her hands on a baby that was n't even hers . where are you getting the baby - switching business ? rafe : 'cause baker was an illegal baby broker . how the hell else do you think that nicole got her hands on mia 's kid ? arianna : okay , i understand that , but why the switch ? rafe : she 's desperate . and not to mention she 's always been freaked out that sami was gon na do something to take ej away from her . arianna : okay , when sami was in the witness protection program , she was pregnant with ej 's baby and nicole had a miscarriage ... rafe : right . and imagine if sami told ej the baby was his . arianna : it would be nicole 's nightmare . rafe : so she finds out that baker 's this baby broker , and then nicole talks to sister theresa and has her have the baby in baker 's clinic . arianna : right , and when sami delivers the baby ... rafe : she switches the babies . arianna : wow . okay , wait a minute , no . mia has already said to everyone that sydney 's her baby , nicole 's admitted it , ej 's buying it . rafe : i do n't give a damn what people in this town are starting to believe . what matters is what i can prove . arianna : and how are you gon na prove this ? how are you gon na prove nicole switched babies ? rafe : well , i might have to bend the rules a little , but i 'll get the proof i need . normally i 'd start with nicole , but she 's got that damn restraining order against me . arianna : and dr. baker is dead . rafe : yeah . arianna : and how are you gon na prove that mia 's connected to dr. baker ? rafe : it might get a little tricky . most likely she was being treated by baker . that 's how nicole made contact . arianna : the story i heard was that mia gave the baby directly to nicole . rafe : huh . then maybe it 's time for me to have a little talk with mia . [ scene_break ] mia : will , i know this makes you ... will : look , i do n't believe you . okay , you would never do that . mia : but it 's true . and i am so , so sorry . chad : not half as sorry as i am . mia : where are you going ? chad : anywhere else but here . i 'm gon na try to wrap my head around this thing . mia : please do n't hate me . will : i do n't . i know you just said that so chad would stop trying to get custody .

[ scene_break ] arianna : here you go . all right . i 'm not about to tell you how you 're doing your job , okay , but if you 're dead set on nobody finding out that you 're back in salem until you have more proof ... rafe : then going to mia 's not that smart of a move . got it . arianna : she may or may not tell you what you need to know , but she will definitely go to nicole . rafe : and nicole 's gon na do whatever she can to make sure that i come up empty - handed . arianna : right . so why do n't you rest , okay ? think about this a little later ? rafe : you know what i could really use is a long , hot shower and some clean clothes . arianna : i got the shower . i do n't have the clothes . rafe : no . [ laughter ] maybe you could go to my place and grab some for me ? arianna : yeah . totally . rafe : that would be great . oh , and in the top drawer of my dresser underneath the socks , there 's some cash and a spare phone . grab that too ? arianna : yeah , totally . got it . absolutely . okay , um , why do n't you rest ? the bump on your head , that 's real , okay ? rafe : later , sis . hey , it 's rafe hernandez . listen , man , i need your help .

[ sydney burbles ] nicole : oh , honey . oh , alley - oop , sweetheart . hey . but you know , ej , she does have a father who loves her very much , a father she deserves . ej , the one and only man sydney needs and wants in her life is you .

'cause it kind of had that stinky river smell . rafe : it did , did n't it ? arianna : yeah . rafe : anyway , while you were gone , i talked to a buddy of mine at the bureau . got some information on meredith hudson . arianna : what 's the word ? rafe : it 's good , actually . turns out when she got off the plane in orlando i guess she kind of lost her mind , so they sent her to a psych ward and no word on if or when she 'll ever get out . arianna : good . because after what she did to you , never is too soon for me . rafe : yeah . i still kind of feel bad for what happened to her sister , though . anyway , thanks for getting this stuff . no problem , right ? arianna : yeah . rafe : right . [ scene_break ] victor : brady , what 's wrong ? brady : nothing . nothing . it 's a personal matter . how are you ? victor : do n't change the subject . brady : excuse me ? victor : is this personal thing about you and arianna ? the girl that broke up with you ? you still stewing over why she dumped you ? brady : no , of course not . all right , look , the truth is , everything is very cool in that department because we got back together . victor : really ? well , i 'm very sorry to hear that . [ scene_break ] ej : all right , i was never happier than when i had you in my life . but our life is over now , thanks to your lies . nicole : [ sighs ] ej , i understand that you 're angry with me ... and why you do n't want to take me back . but sydney , she 's innocent . ej : do n't start . nicole : she loves you . ej : nicole . nicole : she loves you . that is her only sin . and now that chad wo n't be able to prove paternity , this is your chance to raise her and show her how you feel . do n't you want her in your life ? [ scene_break ] sami : here you go . feeling better ? chad : yeah . i 'm fine . thank you . miss brady , i want to know if you think mia 's lying . i mean , that 's pretty messed up , trashing yourself like that , you know ? you think she did it ? i mean , you know her more than i do , right ? sami : i wish i could say that were true . i mean , frankly , i find it really difficult to believe that she 's the kind of girl that would ... well , that kind of girl , you know ? but why would she make something like that up ? chad : so i 'd give up on the dna test , i guess . sami : but she knows you could still have the test anyway . i mean , you could still be the father , no matter how many guys she slept with . my point is , why would she make something like that up just to ruin her reputation ? chad : unless it were true . sami : what if will finds out ? chad : he already has . sami : what ? chad : yeah , she just told him . sami : look , chad , if mia told will , knowing how upset he would be ... it 's got ta be ... it 's got ta be true . we have to go , chad . we have to get out of here , we have to find will , we have to find mia , and find out what is going on . come on . [ scene_break ] nicole : oh . mia . hey . mia , sit up for a second . listen , it 's okay . what 's wrong ? mia : what do you think ? nicole : [ sighs ] you told chad . mia : all the lies . sleeping with the guys i do n't know , the parties in chicago . i told him he 's not the father . everything . nicole : did he believe you ? mia : yeah , i guess . but then i had to tell will , and he broke up with me . nicole : okay , look , just -- just give it some time . he loves you . mia : yeah , everybody has deep feelings for the town slut . nicole : do not underestimate will . he is solid . he will take you back , okay ? he will . he 'll forgive you . hey , it happens sometimes , you know ? the fairy tale happy ending . you 'll have yours . you 'll see . and i 'll have mine .

[ scene_break ] brady : i do n't understand . why -- why would you feel the least bit sad that arianna and i got back together ? grandfather . victor : brady , i 'm in a very awkward position here . brady : why ? victor : well , because the information that i have obviously was given to me by people . people that you really would rather not associate with . brady : oh , are we talking about the dark side of the kiriakis family ? victor : well , you can call it what you 'd like . but the thing is , i 'm just the messenger here . i do n't want to be hated for some information i happen to have . brady : [ laughs ] i 'm not gon na hate you , first of all . second of all , i do n't know what you 're talking about . what in the world does this have to do with arianna ? [ scene_break ] rafe : well , all i have left to do now is get those dna samples . arianna : you know , it 's kind of sad about mia . if you do prove that sydney is really sami 's baby , then someone 's got to explain to mia that her baby died . rafe : grace , yeah . yeah , well , i ca n't let that stand in the way of what i need to do . it has to be done . arianna : and soon . because once nicole finds out what you 're up to , she 's gon na blow . and you know what ? i heard that she was trying to leave the country with sydney already , but it did n't pan out . rafe : really ? arianna : yeah . totally . and if she freaks out , and when she finds out what you 're doing , i mean , she 'll leave , and you may never find out the truth . [ scene_break ] brady : [ scoffs ] granddad , come on . you obviously know something that i should know , so why do n't you just tell me ? quit screwing around here . is it about arianna ? okay , fine , it 's obviously something that makes you believe i should n't be with her . is that correct ? victor : [ sighs ] brady : will you say something to me , please ? i mean , do n't you think this is something i might have a right to know ? please ? victor : brady ... of course you have a right to know . but it 's not gon na be pleasant . some people that i know saw arianna hernandez in a very compromising position . she 's a drug dealer , brady . [ scene_break ] arianna : oh , you know what ? i did -- i grabbed this off your dresser . thought it could hide your face . rafe : yeah , right , thanks for the thought , but obviously you have n't studied advanced evasion and surveillance at quantico . arianna : what ? rafe : wearing a hat , it 's not much of a disguise . it actually makes people look at you longer than normal . arianna : oh . sorry . rafe : no , no , it 's okay . i was gon na wait till dark anyway . arianna : okay . um , so you 're just gon na gather the dna and prove the match , right ? rafe : yeah , well , easier said than done , but that 's the plan . definitely not saying anything to sami . certainly not till i can prove that sydney is her baby . arianna : and what if it turns out that sydney really is mia 's ? rafe : hmm , well , then my whole theory 's bogus , and i 've been wasting my time . but trust me , that 's not the way this thing 's gon na play out .

[ scene_break ] bo : the alamain 's are after you . they find you , it 's over . ej : enough of mia 's lies . enough of nicole 's lies . i am out . sami : tell me the truth . | stefano assures nicole that mia 's lie about sleeping around will enable nicole to get ej to take her and sydney back into the house . she heads over to tell ej about it , but he tells nicole that he wo n't take her and sydney back , although he admits that he was never happier than when all three of them were together . stefano returns home from the hospital and also tries to convince ej to take sydney back , considering the news about chad , but ej refuses . mia tells both chad and will that she slept around a lot after chad left town , and she is n't sure who sydney 's father is . will dumps her . chad storms off and ends up confiding in sami , who is n't sure mia is telling the truth about sleeping around until she hears that she told will . sami rushes off to find mia , while chad vows to go through with the dna test anyway . sami is surprised to find nicole comforting mia and telling her that she did the right thing . rafe tells arianna his suspicions regarding nicole switching sydney and grace at birth . he decides to conduct his own dna test to prove that sydney is sami 's baby , but decides not to tell anyone he is back in town until he has proof of what nicole did . we learn meredith was involuntarily checked into a psychiatric ward . brady tells victor that he and arianna got back together , and victor informs him that arianna is a drug dealer . |

[ sighs ] maggie : how was your trip ? carrie : good . my plane just landed . i came straight here . john : is there a problem ? carrie : [ sighs ] i 'm worried about the witness i found in switzerland . maggie : you mean the man that was -- john : he 's all right , is n't he ? carrie : i hope so . i - i tried to check on him when my plane was delayed in new york and then again when our plane landed here , and he 's not answering . i ca n't reach him . john : [ sighs ] rafe : well , the pan 's ruined . do n't tell mommy i did this to her flan recipe , okay ? she 'll kill me . gabi : you know what ? it 's okay . do you know that if you press the convection button , it 'll cook twice as fast ? rafe : no , i did n't know `` if you press the convection oven , `` because i do n't have one of those in my studio apartment ! gabi : [ laughs ] hey ! i 'm sure you did n't even step foot into that kitchen . rafe : no , i did n't , 'cause that 's what takeout 's for , sis . gabi : ay , yi , yi . rafe : my head . this place looks like a frickin ' hazardous waste area . gabi : i think you were a little bit overly ambitious ? rafe : the kids , the kids ! gabi : what ? no , no , no ! rafe : i 'm supposed to pick them up ! gabi : relax . time - out ! listen , we 'll just call them , and we 'll tell them that you 're running late . you know what ? in fact , i 'm going to pick up -- stop . i 'll pick up the kids , okay ? you just do what you do best , and i 'm not talking about the housework . rafe : yeah , what i do best -- what do you mean ? investigative work ? because i do n't know if you remember , but i was fired from the force . gabi : i know , but just because you got fired from the police does n't mean you ca n't do your own investigating . will : why do you think our site 's been hacked ? chad : well , it 's not just that gotgame48 is posting odds , will . sonny : we 're also seeing that they 're starting to place bets . chad : that 's not possible . sonny : no , it is . chad and i just saw that somebody -- chad : we just saw it . we just saw it . and within a few minutes , it disappeared . sonny : and it gets worse . 'cause we 're seeing posts from gotgame48 with big numbers listed . chad : you know what ? what if -- what if that 's the amount they 're paying out , you know ? what if someone 's hijacked our website and is using it to run a book ? will : okay , let me check it out . [ exhale deeply ] chad : [ scoffs ] this is a nightmare . john : could stefano have gotten to this guy ? carrie : i do n't know . marlena : you know , i realize that we do n't have any real proof that stefano is involved in this . john : it 's the only logical explanation . carrie : whoever framed john , this clinic employee is critical to our case . i mean , he 's the only witness we have who can prove that john was n't in paris when this incriminating money transfer occurred . [ cell phone rings ] carrie : [ sighs ] i 'm so glad you called . it 's our witness . marlena : oh , thank goodness . carrie : no . no , no , no , no . it 's okay . and everything 's fine ? good . okay . well , i 'll be in touch soon , with the final travel arrangements for you to come to the states to testify . great . [ sighs ] he 's safe . he accidentally turned the ringer off on his cell . marlena : i must say , i 'm not thrilled that john 's case hinges on one witness . carrie : i wish we had more to go on too . but i completely vetted this witness , and i think that he 's reliable . john ca n't have been in two places at the same time . i mean , that will create reasonable doubt in the jury 's mind , and with that , they ca n't convict him . john : i need more proof than that , that i did n't steal that money . hope : bo ? bo ? bo : [ french accent ] oh - ho - ho ! good afternoon , mademoiselle . oh , a beautiful lady like yourself , it is obvious ... that you 're waiting for a very lucky gentleman , huh ? but if i may be so bold , this particular gentleman does not deserve ... this .

[ door closes ] gabi : [ sighs ] carrie : austin , i 'm back in salem now . i 'm at john and marlena 's , and , uh , i ca n't wait to see you later . bye . marlena : honey , i should tell you that i spoke to austin while you were away . carrie : i hope it did n't end in an argument . marlena : no , no . he -- he wanted me to understand that he 's not turning his back on john or the family . and i do think he 's disturbed that this job with the s.e.c . is driving a wedge between the two of you . carrie : i 'm glad he said that , but things would be a lot less tense if he would n't be so obsessed with the numbers on a page . marlena : well , i 've been talking to him , honey , i 'm persuaded that he 's just trying to do his job the best that he can . oh , honey . carrie : john . john : hmm ? carrie : before i forget , i wanted to ask you if you were satisfied with the guard service protecting the premises . john : absolutely , yeah , they 're doing a good job , even when they have to think on their feet . carrie : i 'm glad to hear it , because we 're gon na need them to provide more security once our witness comes to town . the trial starts soon , and i need to arrange that now . john : all right , so what 's your plan ? carrie : keep our witness under wraps , try to keep him from the prosecution for as long as possible . john : smart strategy . like playing our cards close to our vest . especially since my whole case is hinging on this one witness . marlena : and i hope that 's enough . as carrie said , the burden of proof is on the prosecution . all we have to do is create some reasonable doubt . john : well , unfortunately , without irrefutable evidence , the public also has reasonable doubt . therefore , even if i am found innocent , the public 's always gon na wonder , `` did he steal that money ? `` marlena : john , you do n't know that . john : yes , i do know that . the only way to erase that doubt in the public 's mind , is for me to find proof that i 've been set up . [ doorbell chimes ] rafe : hi . marlena : huh , look at him . john : hey , good timing . look who 's back . rafe : carrie . glad you made it home safe . carrie : oh , yeah . well , once i secured the witness , my work was done . thank you for the tip . i 'm just sorry you lost your job from helping me . rafe : naw , i told you , it 's not your fault . besides , i 'd do anything to help john . that 's what family does . marlena : we appreciate that so much . john : and because of your hard work , we 're one step closer to proving me innocent . rafe : well , it 's actually funny you should mention that . since i 'm no longer a salem p.d . , i 've got a little extra time on my hands . so if you need anything , any legwork , i 'm your man . carrie : actually , there 's definitely something you can do to help . hope : asking me to choose my favorite wedding , is like [ laughs ] asking a parent to choose their favorite child . i ca n't do it . bo : yes , you can . hope : okay , um ... i still have to pinch myself , because i - i still ca n't believe that we had a real wedding , in london -- in london . at westminster abbey . it was amazing . and , um , i still melt when ... when i think about the love in my dad 's eyes ... when he walked me down the aisle ... at our christmas eve wedding . bo : your birthday wedding . hope : mm - hmm . so choosing a favorite wedding , i -- it 's really tough . but you know what ? if you had asked me which is my favorite marriage , that 's easy . bo : what 's your favorite marriage ? hope : our marriage right now . because this ... this is the marriage that will last forever . bo : yeah . [ hope sobs ] rafe : well , i 'm here to help . whatever you want , you name it . carrie : i want you to let my firm hire you as a private investigator . rafe : [ laughs ] okay , when -- when you said that you wanted to help me with my employment status -- okay , uh , i 'm speechless . john : no , what you are is the perfect guy to find rock - solid evidence that stefano set me up . carrie : i need an investigator , like yesterday -- you need a job . marlena : and you know the case and the players . and you know what a dog stefano is . carrie : i wo n't have to waste precious pre - trial time getting a new investigator up to speed . will you do it ? rafe : i have to process all this . oh ... you want me to launch a full - scale investigation ? carrie : right away . and the silver lining is that i can pay you , which will help me feel better about all of this . and i completely understand if you want to discuss this with sami first . rafe : i 'll talk to sami about it later . john : why do n't you give her a call right now ? rafe : i do n't need to talk to her . what 's there to talk about ? i need a job , and i want to help you . it 's a win - win . john : is it ? marlena : what does that mean ? john : there 's a reason why you do n't want to run this by sami , is n't there ? marlena : john , for heaven 's sake . john : oh , come on , doc . roman , austin , rafe , carrie -- it 's like a revolving door of visitors around here . sami 's been keeping her distance . come here , doc . i know that something else has been eating at you lately . and now i just figured out what it is . sami 's like everybody else in this town is , is n't she ? the reason she 's staying away is because she thinks i 'm guilty , does n't she ? sonny : all right , remember . whoever 's misusing our website , he 's probably a linebacker , okay , and he weighs more than all of us combined . chad : okay , i 'm not afraid of some roided - up jock . all right ? let 's go . sonny : have to be careful so no one gets hurt . and when i say `` no one , `` i mean us . [ knocks on door ] may i assist you gentlemen ? chad : excuse us . will : is this your room ? yes . will : wow , this is a lot of hard drives . uh - huh . will : do you mind if i take a look ? now 's not really a good time -- i 'm working on my thesis proposal . will : thesis ? oh , that 's great . sonny : yeah , we do n't want to keep you from that fascinating work . we just have a question for you . chad : yeah , what the hell are you doing with our website ? gentlemen , i have no idea what you 're talking about . will : salem u athletic department . i would n't waste my time there . now would you please go and let me get back to work ? chad : not ... till we get some answers first . will : does the name , uh , gotgame48 sound familiar to you ? sonny : you run a book on our website ? chad : answer the question . rafe : john , listen to me . you know sami , right ? she has a unique way of looking at things . does n't mean she thinks you 're guilty though . john : no , she just does n't want you working to clear my name ? i 'm not an idiot , rafe . rafe : no , you 're not . marlena : john , i spoke to sami . she -- she , uh , she does n't think you 're guilty , not literally speaking . john : what the hell does that mean ? maggie : she knows about stefano and all the terrible things that he 's done to you , and she was wondering -- john : wondering what ? marlena : if you 've done the things you 're accused of doing and do n't remember them . i do n't know anything about your website . i 've never even attended a sporting event at salem u . well , unless you consider chess a sport , which it should be . i 'm a grand master , and i can tell you -- sonny : this is n't about chess . this is about someone posting odds and numbers on our website , for illegal gambling . chad : listen , the number we found posted on the site was an i.p . address we traced back to this room , so there you go . will : okay , uh , grand master , you need to stop stalling us . i have an entire family in law enforcement that i will turn loose on you . bo : i told you at oak alley that i would always love you , and that we 'd always be together . i feel very , very lucky to be where we are right now . hope : we are very lucky . john : i 've put all of stefano 's mind games behind me . i do n't even want to think about that time in my life anymore . marlena : it is behind you , honey . and rafe is right . i mean , sami has such a peculiar way of looking at things . john : i just wish you would have told me about this before . marlena : to what end ? i did n't want to upset you . rafe : yeah , that 's right , sami does n't either . that 's why she has n't been around . but trust me , when this evidence comes to light , she will be here , she will be celebrating with the rest of us . carrie : we 're definitely getting there . i mean , we now have a witness who can prove that you were at the swiss hospital when this photo was allegedly taken . that 's proof that there 's more going on here than meets the eye . rafe : and i 'm on it . carrie : john , i promise you , we have just scratched the surface . with rafe on our team , we are going to find the evidence to clear your name with the jury and the public . marlena : thank you both , for everything . carrie : we should get to work . rafe : yes . john : i do n't want to be the cause of any problems between you and sami . rafe : no , trust me , you 're not . john : all right . then thanks again . rafe : my pleasure . carrie : i need to go . we 'll be in touch soon . john : all right . rafe : all right . see you soon . marlena : welcome aboard . rafe : thank you . i 'm not a terrible person . i would n't hack into someone 's website . i 've been working on my thesis 24/7 - -i eat , sleep and breathe quantum theory . chad : do you know who i am ? yeah , i figured that . i 'm a dimera . does that ring any quantum bells ? so unless you want my family coming down on you , i suggest you level with us right now . the police , the dimeras -- this is too much . chad : yeah . okay , i 'll tell you what i know . but you have to understand that i 'm not the guy you 're really looking for . chad : okay , why do n't you just start off by telling us . you 've got a lot more to worry about than me . i 'm just a pawn in a much bigger game . and a lot more dangerous than you know . chad : why do n't you just cut the crap ? what the hell 's going on ? i think it 'll be easier if i show you . bo : every morning ... when i wake up next to you , i look forward to the day we 're going to spend together . it really does n't matter what we 're doing , you know . working on a case ... hanging out with sierra -- the day is better because i spend it with you . and the happiness i feel , it just -- it does n't diminish . it just gets bigger and bigger . all i have to do is look at you , and my heart is filled with joy . you know , someday , when we 're in those rockers , watching our grandchildren play , our great - grandchildren play , i will feel fulfilled ... because i could n't have picked a better partner to spend my life with . can i put this back on your finger ? hope : [ sniffles ] you said something to me ... at our wedding in england , during our vows . and it still stands today . i look into your eyes , and ... i see all i need to see . i love you , brady . i 've never -- i 've never loved another man . and i never will love another man . thank you ... for everything wonderful you brought to my life . especially our beautiful children . and i 'm so grateful . not just for the -- the passion that we share ... but for our great friendship . i love you , beauregard brady . bo : i love you too , fancy face .

[ keyboard keys click ] will : oh , no . rafe : where should we start ? carrie : before we do , i just want to ask you something . rafe : what 's that ? carrie : are you sure sami 's okay with you working on this case ? [ both chuckle ] rafe : okay , well , let 's consider my options here , shall we ? i looked at every legitimate lead in the classifieds . came up with zilch , and i had my mister mom card revoked today because i nearly burned down the kitchen . carrie : oh - ho , no . big mess , huh ? [ both laugh ] rafe : you have no idea . yeah . so , this way , i have a paycheck coming in , and stay out of the kitchen . carrie : it 's a good idea . rafe : yeah . carrie : yes . but you -- do you know what being on the opposite sides of the case has done with ... austin and me ? rafe : yeah . well , all the more reason that we need to focus on this evidence , and find out exactly what we 've missed . that way , we put this case behind us , move on . what ? carrie : um , i 'm just so happy that you 're helping me with this -- that we 're working together . that 's great . rafe : yeah . that 's good . well , listen , tell you , i want to prove that jon 's innocent just as much as you do . carrie : let 's get started . rafe : okay . [ both laugh ] john : doc . marlena : hmm ? john : you know , when i said earlier that i needed proof to convince the judge , proof to convince the people that ... lost all their savings . i also need proof for myself . i need proof that i was n't the one that stole that money and destroyed their lives . marlena : john , i 'm so sorry about sami , and i do n't want you to pressure yourself about it . we both know that you 're innocent . john : yeah , but when your family starts doubting you , you 're whole family -- marlena : i do n't care what austin or sami think . sami has issues that cloud her judgment . i know in my heart you would never hurt anybody . and you know that too . john : yeah , but -- marlena : and rafe is going to get the evidence we need , and carrie will tell the jury what 's happening , and you will be exonerated . and that 's the way it 's going to be . and i ... i 've forgot the milk . i 'll be right back . [ john groans ] marlena : john , what is it ? hope : i hope victor and maggie will be as happy as we are . bo : me too . hope : thank you for my special wedding day . bo : mm - hmm . hope : it 's the last thing i ever expected today . bo : yeah . and i wish i could whisk you away on a honeymoon . hope : me too . bo : how about a romantic wedding night ? hope : mmm , i love the sound of that . bo : okay . hope : you 're crazy . bo : crazy in love with you . will : that 's incredible . chad : never seen anything like this before . sonny : there 's got ta be over 1,000 sporting events , all over the world , to bet on . exactly . your site is now a portal for a multimillion dollar gambling operation . chad : oof ! and the guys running it , trust me ... they play for keeps . rafe : well , the phone records and the witness ca n't both be right . john could n't have been in two places at the same time . but assuming that this photo was not doctored , then ... carrie : we must be missing something obvious . rafe : or not so obvious . we need to start at the beginning . we need to go over everything till we figure this out . john : cafe in paris . i was there . i remember being there . marlena : john , how can you be so sure ? we were all over europe . we 've been to dozens of cafes just like -- john : it was that cafe ! blue and white tablecloths . i remember thinking they were yankee colors . marlena : blue and white tablecloths ? what difference could that possibly make ? john : doc ... i 've been having these thoughts . almost subliminal , like i 'm remembering something . it 's just very -- very vague and -- and fleeting , like i ca n't -- i ca n't -- i ca n't grasp , but it 's like a déja vu . i never said anything before , because i did n't know what it meant , but -- when i just looked at this picture , it hit me . i have been there . marlena : john , maybe the photograph was altered , you know ? and even if you were at that cafe at some point , does not mean that you used your phone to transfer funds . john : you 're right . i would never do that . but that robot stefano created , that john , would do that . so what if sami 's right ? what if she 's right ? what if i am guilty ? rafe : just because you are free from being a hostage , does n't mean you are free . jennifer : this is really bad . we 're going to be here for a long time . jack ! jack , are you okay ? | at the kiriakis mansion , bo and hope talked about victor and maggie 's wedding . they also talked about their wedding . bo proposed to hope and she agreed to marry him . at the brady pub , will , sonny , and chad were having trouble with their website . they thought someone hacked their site to gamble . will found a directory for gotgame48 's ( the person betting on the website ) ip address and found out it was coming from a dorm in salem university . they all thought they could find him . carrie showed up at john and marlena 's place . john asked if there was a problem . carrie was worried about the witness she found in switzerland . she tried to reach him from new york and in salem , but the witness was n't answering . she could n't reach him . john asked if stefano could have gotten to the witness . carrie did n't know . marlena reminded them that they did n't have proof that stefano was involved . carrie stressed how important the witness was because he could prove that john was n't at the café in paris when the money transfer happened . carrie got a call from the witness . she said she would get in touch with him again when she had travel arrangements made . they all continued to talk about the case . |

[ both laughing ] sarah : i just feel bad leaving her , you know ? poor little thing . rex : i -- eric 's gon na be here watching her . besides , your mom went all out for this party , okay ? i 'm not gon na disappoint her . sarah : i know , you 're right . it 's just ... i just do n't feel ... rex : what ? what 's going on ? sarah : guilty . i 'm the happiest i 've ever been in my life , and all i want to do is celebrate , but ... how can i celebrate when other people are suffering ? people that i care about . kate : so , how did they do the dna test ? sami : i got a sample from susan . kate : that must have been challenging , huh ? sami : just being around that nut - job is challenging . i would have scalped her if i had to , but luckily i just scalped her ... [ laughs ] her marlena doll . kate : do i even want to know ? sami : no , but you really should see this thing . she made a doll that looks like my mother as a wedding gift for them , and she used her own hair . kate : [ awkward laugh ] of course she did . sami : well , i guess i should thank her , 'cause it was easier to pull the hair out of the doll than out of her own head . kate : so now all you have to do is wait ? sami : mm - hmm . and waiting is not exactly my favorite thing . kate : i tell you what . you know this hospital has a less - than - stellar reputation when it comes to speed and accuracy , so i think we should look under the hood . sami : what ? whoa , kate , we do n't even know the extent of his injuries . kate : i know , that 's exactly my point . he 's not gon na feel a thing . sami : kate ! kate : what ? it 's not like i have n't seen it before . sami : oh , my god ! maggie : ironic , is n't it ? roman : what is that ? maggie : well , rex and sarah never crossed passed here in salem . they had to go all the way to chicago to meet and fall in love . roman : yeah . i 'm glad they did , though . they are obviously very happy . maggie : rex , he 's so ... he 's charming and -- and at ease with himself . roman : as is your sarah . who i still remember running around in pigtails . maggie : yeah . she was a little dare - devil . smart as a whip , though . but so defiant . roman : well , she grew to be a very confident woman . beautiful , too . maggie : oh , roman . i 'm so happy she 's come home . [ sighs ] i 'm hoping that -- that now that she and rex are gon na get married that maybe they 'll put down roots here in salem . roman : i 'm gon na do everything i can to encourage it . maggie : as will i . [ both laughing ] roman : well , on to the next chapter of the long and auspicious tradition of ... brady - horton unions . maggie : right . [ both laughing ] rex : that is one of the many things that i love about you . sarah : what is ? rex : you 're so compassionate ... with the people that you love and care about when -- when they 're going through a tough time . i mean , it affects you deeply . sarah : yeah , but it affects you , too . rex : yeah , sure it does , but ... i mean , i -- i try not to feel guilty about being happy . you know ? 'cause at -- at the end of the day it 's just life , you know ? and it happens , and it -- take you and i , right ? we -- we 've gone through difficulties in the past . i 'm sure we will again . but i think it 's important that right now things are awesome with us and we should focus on that , you know ? and the people that love and care about us -- i mean , even though they 're -- they 're struggling i do n't think they begrudge us our happiness . sarah : wow . you just put everything in -- in perspective . rex : i 'm so good at that . [ laughing ] sarah : you are so good at a lot of things . [ both laughing ] rex : [ moans ] sarah : well ... now that you have cured me of my guilt -- temporarily , at least -- with your wisdom and insight , i think all we should worry about is just ... enjoying ourselves tonight . rex : [ deep inhale ] i think i can do that . sarah : great . i 'm gon na give it my best effort as well . now , on a more shallow note ... is this dress too tight ? should i go change ? rex : what -- are you serious ? [ gasps ] no , this had nothing to do with -- with what susan was saying before , right ? your -- your premonitions that she was having ? sarah : well , she obviously thinks i look pregnant . why else would she see you holding a baby ? rex : this is the same woman who -- who thinks that elvis is still alive and vampires are real . sarah : that 's right . she 's a complete nut - job . rex : yeah , so trust me , you do not look pregnant . but not that i would n't love to see you pregnant . someday ... [ laughs ] in the future . sarah : i look forward to starting a family with you , rex . rex : yeah , me , too . but i think right now i would just love to focus on us . sarah : sounds good to me . belle : i did n't mean to upset you , lucas . lucas : [ scoffs ] you did n't upset me . i 'm fine . if i were you , i 'd worry about you . belle : excuse me ? lucas : what , you 're not that confident in your lawyering skills , is that it ? that 's why you want to drop the case ? you do n't want to go to court ? belle : that is absolutely not what i am saying . lucas : sounds like that to me . well , i 'm not letting you off the hook , okay ? i 'm not going anywhere . shawn : hey , lucas , why do n't we all just , like , maybe calm down and take a deep breath ? lucas : calm down and take a deep breath when my daughter 's future is being jeopardized ? i do n't think so . belle : [ sighs ] i guess i wish you would n't see it that way . lucas : you know , bonnie lockhart is n't good for anything , and that includes motherhood . i 'm gon na give my daughter the kind of life she deserves . i am gon na make sure she gets it . bonnie : daydreaming . you know , like dr . ruth used to say . a healthy fantasy life ... okay . so , what took you so long after bringing back the baby to lucas ' ? mimi : i stopped to talk to belle . apparently chloe 's been asking her all kinds of questions . bonnie : questions ? about what ? mimi : she does n't think you 've been acting very maternal . imagine that . bonnie : chloe does n't think i 'm maternal . that 's rich . mimi : yeah , it 's rich all right . and because she thinks you 're so un - maternal , she 's now wondering if i 'm the baby 's mom , not you . bonnie : how the hell did she figure that out ? mimi : who the hell could n't figure it out ? i mean , how many times have you slipped up ? do n't answer that . i 'm just thanking god belle reminded chloe that i ca n't have kids . or so we thought . bonnie : so chloe 's not suspicious anymore ? mimi : she 'd better not be . kayla : so that water bottle you gave me to do a dna test on -- i assumed that that was lucas ' , but it was actually mimi 's , was n't it ? chloe : yes , because i think that mimi is the baby 's mother and not bonnie . kayla : why would you think that ? chloe : okay , first of all , do n't you think it 's a little convenient that bonnie needed a get - out - of - jail - free card and she just magically shows up with a baby that she can use as one ? kayla : so you think that mimi just handed her baby over to her mother so she could get out of jail ? chloe : yeah , i do think that . mimi and her mother have always had a complicated relationship , but they 've also always been , i do n't know , strangely close . kayla : and that 's what you 're basing this on ? chloe : no . bonnie has also said some things that have been very suspicious . and frankly , the way that mimi acts with that baby , it 's not very sisterly , you know ? it 's definitely the way that a mother would act with her child . you got ta trust me . kayla : [ scoffs ] you are not giving me much to go on . chloe : well , that is why i need this dna test . kayla : [ scoffs ] does lucas know that you ... are doing this ? chloe : [ sighs ] well , i needed proof before i said anything . kayla : and i bet you did n't get mimi 's permission either , did you ? chloe : no , and she would go nuts if she found out . come on , kayla , this is the only way to find out what 's going on . do n't you see that ? kayla : yeah , i see it . i see it , but it is still unethical . chloe : so ... what are you saying ? kayla : i 'm saying it 's not gon na happen . [ laughs ] i -- i 'm sorry , but ... i ca n't do it . when we were dating , we used to get excited about things sami : just stop it , okay ? get your faux - fur hands off of him . kate : there , sami . i 'm sorry , honey . i 'm just really trying to help . i am . i know how much pain you 're in , i do . i do . you 're hoping against hope that this man is ... ej ... but if he is , i know he 's in terrible shape . but you have to remember ... if it is ej , he 's alive ... and that means there 's hope . sami : yeah . kate : you can take comfort in that , right ? sami : i have to . because i do -- i do get to hope . my poor brother , he 's going through so much . i mean , he blames himself for what happened to nicole . may she rest in peace . i really do n't think eric 's ever gon na get over it . lucas : you know , instead of trying to take my baby away from me , maybe you should concentrate on your own family . belle : what is that supposed to mean ? lucas : i ran into sami . she could sure use your support . belle : [ scoffs ] well , my relationship with my sister is none of your business . lucas : does n't feel good when people butt in , does it ? does it ? no , it doesn't . but that 's okay . um , did you ever apologize for accusing her of shooting your mother ? shawn : okay , come on , lucas . now , that 's out of line . lucas : is it out of line ? i think your wife is out of line . shawn : look , she 's doing her job , that 's all . lucas : you know what ? i am going to my brother 's engagement party , and i hope i do n't see either of you there . come on , sweetheart , let 's go . belle : thank you for that . shawn : yeah , i 've got your back always . you know that . belle : i do . shawn : this is really -- this is really getting to you , is n't it ? belle : i just feel terrible for lucas . shawn : and so do i . so ... you want to tell me what the heck is going on here ? mimi : i need you to promise me you 'll lay off the booze , okay ? because we ca n't take any more chances on your loose lips . bonnie : [ scoffs ] look who 's talking . you 're the one who told belle that you 're the real baby - mama . mimi : yeah , because i know i can trust her . you 're liable to tell the next drunk at the bar . bonnie : i would never do that . i would not mess up my one chance at freedom . please . [ sighs ] honey , honey ... i know how much you 're sacrificing for me . have i told you lately how much i appreciate everything you 're doing ? mimi : just save it . bonnie : i 'm serious . mimi , i 'm serious . look , hey , hey . i know i 'm not the best mom in the world . but i do love my children , and i just hate it when any one of you are mad at me . mimi : well , then , why do n't you try , i do n't know , not blackmailing us . ruining our lives . bonnie : how about i do something nice for you ? how about i take you out to din - din ? mimi : with what money ? bonnie : okay , you take me out to din - din . [ laughs ] mimi : lovely offer . i 'm so touched . bonnie : [ laughs ] it could be fun . come on , honey , you and i are way overdue for some mother - daughter bonding . mimi : i 'd rather be mother - daughter bonding with my own daughter . bonnie : yeah , but she only eats strained peas and mashed bananas . i was thinking you and i , we could split a nice , juicy steak . ooh . i 'm sorry . mm . ah . whoo , my blood sugar is starting to dip . oh . who knows what i 'll say . i mean , you would n't want me blowing our scam , would you ? mimi : oh , for god 's sake , let 's go . bonnie : thank you ! chloe : come on , what do you mean you ca n't do this ? why not ? kayla : i can not run a dna test without the donor 's permission . chloe : you do have permission . when bonnie wanted to prove that lucas was the baby 's father she gave you permission to run as many tests as you need . kayla : but that 's not mimi 's permission . chloe : and she will never give you permission because she has something to hide . come on , kayla . besides , the lab is already running the test . kayla : [ scoffs ] well , that 's true . chloe : so you 'll let them finish it ? kayla : you know , this -- this does n't make any sense . i mean , really . lucas was a dna match with baby bonnie . i mean , he and mimi were not in a relationship together , were they ? chloe : oh , god , i hope not . kayla ; but if mimi is the mother ... well , just -- how could that be ? chloe : i do n't know how to explain this . i just need to prove that bonnie faked these test results . if bonnie 's the baby 's grandmother , would n't that explain a match ? kayla : yeah , it would . chloe : well , that 's why i wanted you to test different markers this time . come on , kayla , this is the only way for us to find out what 's really going on . and lucas deserves to know if this baby is not his . please . do n't cancel this test . at humana , we believe great things are ahead of you when you start with healthy . and part of staying healthy means choosing the right medicare plan . humana can help . with original medicare , you 're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits when you 're sick . but keep in mind you 'll have to pay a deductible for each . a medicare supplement plan can cover your deductibles and co - insurance , but you may pay higher premiums than you do with other plans . and prescription drug coverage is n't included . but , with an all - in - one humana medicare advantage plan , you could get all that coverage plus part d prescription drug benefits . you get all this coverage for zero dollar monthly plan premium in most areas . and humana has a large network of doctors and hospitals . so call or go online today . find out if your doctor is part of the humana network and get your free decision guide . discover how an all - in - one medicare advantage plan from humana could save you money . there is no obligation and the book is free . kate : what time do you expect the dna results ? sami : [ sighs ] i hope soon . my aunt kayla put a rush on it . kate : i really want to stay and wait with you , i do , but i have to get to rex 's engagement party . sami : oh . kate : mm . sami : wow . kate : mm - hmm . sami : so sorry to miss out on that one . tell my dad i 'm sorry i could n't be there . and rex , too . kate : i will . i totally will . i know they will understand that you need to be here . maggie really wants this to be a big celebration , but honestly i do n't think there are gon na be any fireworks . i think it 's gon na be ... a bit of a dud . sami : there 's always fireworks with you , kate . kate : love you . sami : thank you .

[ baby cooing ] speaking of which ... it looks like this , uh , one right here has her father wrapped around her little finger . lucas : yeah , she does . she does , she 's too much . she lights up a room with that smile , and she 's such a cuddler , too . she 's a great baby . i actually thought it was gon na create a problem between chloe and me , but chloe 's great with her . roman : all right , well , good . you 're very lucky . lucas : oh , do n't i know it . ca n't remember the last time i was this happy . roman : cool , man . all right . lucas : thanks . kayla : fine . i 'll let them complete the test . chloe : oh , kayla , thank you . thank you . [ kissing ] kayla : well , only because i know if we do n't do it , you 'll just take it to another lab . chloe : ah , thank you for understanding . you have no idea how much this means to me . kayla : actually i do have an idea . i 'm sure it 'd be a lot simpler for you if lucas is n't baby bonnie 's father . but are you prepared how he could react if he finds out that you went behind his back to do this dna test ? shawn : you really thought that lucas was just going to stop seeking custody because -- because you asked him to ? belle : it was a hail mary . i mean , i 'm almost 100 % sure he 's gon na lose . i 'm just trying to spare lucas the heartbreak . shawn : hey , you know i think you 're the best lawyer on the planet , right ? belle : [ laughs ] shawn : but bonnie is not exactly a model client , so what makes you so sure that you think she 's gon na win ? belle : well , mimi told me some things in confidence that made me feel i had no choice but to take the case . mimi : hey . hope we 're not interrupting . shawn : oh , my god , mimi . belle : of course not . shawn : thought i heard you were in town . so good to see you . bonnie : [ clears throat ] shawn : and you , too , mrs . lockhart . oh , and congratulations . i just saw baby bonnie . she 's , uh -- she 's beautiful . bonnie : well , takes after her mama . mimi : yeah , she sure does . bonnie : [ forced laughter ] mimi : well , i hate to cut this reunion short , but we 're actually on our way to eat , so ... bonnie : [ forced laugh ] mimi : let 's go , mom . bonnie : ah , yeah . mm - hmm . mm , that boy is handsome as ever , that 's all i got to say . [ giggles ] shawn : is it just me , or mimi acting pretty weird ? belle : um , when it comes to mimi , weird is normal , so ... shawn : i mean , it 's as if she did n't even want to see me . belle : oh , honey . trust me . it 's got nothing to do with you . bonnie : mm - mm - mm . i can not wait to bite into a nice , thick , juicy slab of beef . and who knows ? maybe julie will give me the family discount . now that i 've produced a horton heir . [ giggles ] mimi : you really think anyone in lucas ' family is going to welcome you with open arms ? do i need to remind you how you brought the horton christmas tree crashing down with your giant ball ? bonnie : please . oh , man . really ? `` closed for private party `` ? of all the luck . mimi : hmm , oh well . guess we 'll have to get your slab of beef somewhere else . bonnie : [ clears throat ] well , this is awkward . rex : [ nervous laugh ] a once - in - five hundred year storm shawn : hey , i mean , it 's something , is n't it ? i mean , you , me , rex , mimi , all in town . i mean , all we need is philip and , uh , it 'd just be like old times . belle : yeah , old times . shawn : hey , you sure you 're okay ? belle : i am . actually , i 'm just not -- lucas really got to me . shawn : are you nervous about the case ? belle : no , not about that . kind of about that , but , uh , what lucas said ... i feel like i need to be a little more compassionate to sami , you know ? i 've been a really bad sister . shawn : well , it 's a lot better than sami deserves . belle : well , whether or not she deserves it , she 's dealing with everything right now . and ... i do n't know , i mean , it 's really sad , but also when sami is desperate and alone ... bad things tend to happen . sami : oh , aunt kayla . listen , did you get the results of my dna test back yet ? what about you , did you get the results of your dna test ? chloe : no , not yet . kayla : i have n't heard back from the lab on either one of them . sami : okay , well , you made sure that they know mines emergency , right ? chloe : [ laughs ] oh , that 's right . yours is an emergency 'cause you 're so special and so important . sami : what are you even talking about , ghoul girl ? okay , look , what are you doing here ? are you -- are you here testing the results of ... chloe : shh ! sami : lucas ' baby ? are you doing a paternity test again ? chloe : do n't tell him anything , please . sami : why not ? chloe : because it 's none of your damn business . sami : actually , lucas is my business . if you break his heart again , i will break you . chloe : oh , trust me , if his heart gets broken it wo n't be because of me . lucas : i sure hope baby bonnie has a chance to bond with her sister . get that sense of family that i never had . right , little one ? yeah , you could use that . kate : [ gasps ] there 's our little sweetheart . lucas : hi , mom . roman : she is a beauty , is n't she ? kate : oh , she really is . roman : [ chuckles ] kate : how you doing , lucas ? lucas : i 'm doing good , mom . thanks . kate : where 's chloe ? lucas : actually , i do n't know . kate : oh . trouble in paradise since baby bonnie came into the picture ? lucas : you wish . no , actually , everything 's fine . chloe 's great with the baby . kate : uh - huh . lucas : things have never been better . thanks . kate : that wo n't last too long .

[ gasps ] oh , and are n't you the spitting image of him . sarah : uh , well , actually , mickey is n't my biological father . bonnie : right , right . but you were his pride and joy . [ laughs ] sarah : thank you . thank you for saying that . bonnie : of course . sarah : uh , well , since you and rex are old friends , i 'm assuming that my mom must have invited you to the engagement party . mimi : party ? oh , no , no , no . we just stopped by for dinner , but since it 's closed we 're just gon na go somewhere else . rex : yeah . sarah : no , no , no . please , uh , stay . join us . mimi : join you ? sarah : yeah , at -- at the party . mimi : [ laughs ] sarah : you are hereby invited . right , rex ? rex : [ awkward laugh ] yeah . de -- definitely . mimi : oh , no , i -- i do n't think that we could . bonnie : oh , we would love to party with you two lovebirds . in fact , we 'd be honored . [ laughing ] rex : great . [ awkward laugh ] with uncontrolled sami : do you remember the time that i was gone ? okay , i was n't gone . i was in jail . [ laughs ] for something stupid like ... that whole bernardi thing , maybe . and ... you were home with the kids ... and ... johnny came down to see you in the middle of the night . he told you that the girls were upset . his sisters were crying and ... and he wanted you to know that he had handled it . do you remember that ? you told him he was such a good big brother . well , he still is . ej , we have been on the craziest ... journey , the kids and i ... just -- just trying to find you . [ sniffles ] and , um , the whole time ... johnny has been ... such a rock ... for his sisters . you will be so proud ... of the man that johnny is becoming . you really will . [ sniffles ] what do you want ? belle : just want to see how you are . sami : well , i 'm fine . okay ? [ sighs ] i 'm handling it . i said i 'm fine , okay ? i do n't need your help , so stop feeling sorry for me . it 's the last thing i need , especially from you . belle : then what do you need , sami ? listen ... i know that i have n't been here for you , lately . but i 'm here now , and i want to help you . sami : i do n't want your help . okay ? i do n't need your help . all i need is for him to get better . that is what i need . that i what i want . [ stammers ] [ sobs ] i just want him back . [ sobs quietly ] lucas : okay . roman : what 's so funny ? kate : well , i was just remembering how horrified i was when lucas married sami . it 's kind of nice to be parenting from the same side of the wedding aisle , i have to say . maggie : kate . that 's so nice for you to come . kate : oh , my pleasure . maggie : [ laughs ] kate : where is victor ? maggie : uh , well , i 'm afraid our many house guests have started to wear him down , so i thought ... he could use a night off from socializing . kate : well , i hope he 's keeping that lunatic susan banks busy , because we do n't need her crashing this party the same way she did marlena 's . maggie : well , i do n't think there 'll be any crashers , because this party is strictly invitation - only . it 's a very small , intimate gathering in honor of our kids . rex : hey , can i talk to you for a sec ? um , look , i -- i thought it was really sweet that you invited bonnie and mimi to this , but ... sarah : well , it seemed rude not to . i mean , especially if mimi 's an old friend of yours . rex : yeah , about that . um , she 's definitely an old friend of mine , but i wanted to tell you that she 's also my ex . sarah : what ? rex : yeah . sarah : she is ? rex : but this is -- this is ancient history . this is many years ago , okay ? sarah : i see . i mean , 'cause you -- you never told me about her . i mean , you have n't even said her name to me . rex : and -- and i would have -- i totally would have . especially now that we 're back in salem and she 's here . here 's the thing , her mom is suing my brother for custody of their baby . i know . so it 's -- everything 's really fraught right now . sarah : i am so sorry . do you want me to go say something to them ? rex : no , no , no . you -- no , it 's fine . it 's fine . we 'll handle it . i mean , we 're all adults , here . right ? mimi : why the hell did you accept that invitation ? bonnie : well , because it would have been rude not to . unless we had something better to do , which we don't . besides , i did n't want to hurt their feelings . mimi : hurt their feelings ? the one being polite -- sarah -- she does n't know us from a hole in the wall . she does n't want us at her party . and did you not stop to think how weird it would be ? woman has no idea that her fiancé and i slept together last year . not to mention , i have n't told rex that we happened to conceive a kid . bonnie : honey , honey , honey . take a chill - pill . nobody 's gon na find out your little secret . and besides , lucas is rex 's brother , right ? so he 'll probably be at the shindig , which means baby bonnie will probably be there , too . and you can have some time with your baby . i was just thinking of you , like i always do . right ? right . roman : you know , when marlena and i lived next to tom and alice horton , you would come over , ring the doorbell , and say `` can i play with the twins ? i promise we wo n't fight . `` rex : [ laughs ] sarah : i do n't think i ever kept that promise . roman : no , you did not . sarah : sami would rip the heads off of all my dolls , and then eric would come to the rescue . kate : sami 's still ripping the heads off dolls . [ laughs ] lucas : what the hell ? kate : do n't worry , i 'll take care of it . lucas : please . kate : mm - hmm . [ clears throat ] [ clicks tongue ] uh , bonnie . bonnie : yeah ? kate : i know you 're not fond of reading , but there is a sign out there that says , `` restaurant closed , `` so ... bonnie : yes , for a private party that we 're invited to . [ giggles ] kate : what ? no . bonnie : oh , yeah . oh , yeah . hi , baby . did you know that your granny kate is being mean to me ? honey , can you say , `` granny kate `` ? rex : hi . hi . i , um , thought you might be looking for this . mimi : oh . you found it . thanks . [ laughs ] rex : no problem .

[ sighs ] now ... there are about 20 more where these came from , so stay sharp . we 're gon na be here all night . [ scene_break ] judge fitzpatrick : explain yourself , detective brady . why do you believe miss walker 's bail should be denied ? bo : it 's pretty straightforward , your honor . we have evidence linking miss walker to the death and murder of her ex - husband , trent robbins . evidence that puts her at the scene of the crime the night of the murder . nicole : i thought you said the judge was your friend . e.j . : shh , please . bo : we have a bead from a dress that was found at the scene of the crime , and we were later able to match that bead to a dress found in the defendant 's closet . nicole : is he ever gon na shut up ? [ scene_break ] bo : the defendant has a history of instability and deceitfulness . she lied to the state about being married to the victim . she also has a tendency toward violence . she shot colin murphy with intent to kill . she tried to murder her ex - husband , victor kiriakis . e.j . : objection , your honor . not only is this hearsay , it is also irrelevant to the case at hand . judge fitzpatrick : overruled . let detective brady finish . bo : thank you , your honor . we believe that the defendant is an extreme flight risk . e.j . : again ! your honor , i 'm sorry . the detective is mistaking his opinion for facts . judge fitzpatrick : no more interruptions , mr. dimera , or i will have you escorted from this courtroom . detective brady , i trust you 're about to wind up your statement ? bo : yes , your honor . thank you for your consideration . we believe that the defendant should remain in jail until the hearing . judge fitzpatrick : thank you , detective brady . it was good to hear from you . please be seated . bo : thank you , your honor . judge fitzpatrick : and now you will hear from me . just give me a moment . i 've come to a decision . [ scene_break ] judge fitzpatrick : all rise . first , let me assure you , i do n't make this decision cavalierly or without having thoroughly examined the details of this case , which i had the opportunity to do before the hearing . i 've also listened carefully to what was said in court today . after taking into consideration the fact that miss walker lied about the state of her marriage to trent robbins and that she 's attempted murder before , i 'm inclined to have serious doubts about miss walker 's veracity or her morality . i 'm also disconcerted by her affiliation with the dimera family , to whom she 's now inextricably tied for obvious reasons . therefore , bail is denied . [ gavel bangs ] bailiff , please escort miss walker to jail immediately . e.j . : it 's okay . [ scene_break ] sami : oh , god , no . i ca n't do this anymore . please , please , please , can we please start again tomorrow ? rafe : do you think this is some sort of game ? do you think that i 'm having fun looking at mug shots ?

[ door slams ] carrie : oh , hey , morning ! sami : morning . so , uh -- oh , my gosh , carrie , you do n't have to do that . carrie : oh , it 's the least i can do since you 're letting us crash here . yeah . sami : excuse me . carrie : oh ... sorry . sorry . rafe : what are you doin ' ? austin : trying to figure this thing out . it was a little cold last night . rafe : huh . maybe you should try sleeping with some more clothes on . there 's two zones : one for out here , one for the bedrooms . it 's complicated . austin : wow , sounds amazing . both : oh ! sami : sorry . carrie : no , i 'm in the way . you know what ? i 'll -- i 'll ... finish this ... later . sami : okay . sounds like a plan . carrie : now that i 'm back , it 's definitely a little crowded in here . austin : it already was . carrie : well , we should try harder to get a place of our own . austin : carrie , i do n't know what you want me to do . every hotel in town is booked . the pub , the rooms are still being renovated . i mean , we still have that standing offer from my mom . carrie : forget it . we are not moving in with stefano . austin : i do n't know what else you want me to do . sami : well , i have an idea . maybe we could talk about why you 're so anxious to get out of here . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . jennifer : i am serious . tell me the truth or leave . the choice is yours . jack : just a minute , i 'm not sure what i 'm being accused of here . jennifer : halloween night . jack : yes . jennifer : you were in salem . jack : no . jennifer : yes . you were following me and daniel around the whole night at the town square party , jack . jack : impossible ! jennifer : i saw you ! you were wearing this stupid mask , and even when i confronted you , you did n't even have the guts to talk to me . jack : wait a minute , wha -- just a moment here . by your own admission , you never saw my face . you never heard my voice , and yet you 're convinced that this person following you around in some mask on halloween night was me ! jennifer : yes , jack . jack : no . i spent halloween night in london with our son . i spent the entire flight back looking forward to spending the whole day here with you ! jennifer : oh , really ? can you prove it ? jack : prove -- prove that i was looking forward to spending the day with you ? yes ! here i am ! jennifer : prove that you were in london . can you prove that ? jack : jennifer , why would i lie about something like that ? jennifer : because you 're crazy . you 're crazy ... and you 're jealous of me and daniel . that 's why . jack : [ sighs ] can i say one thing ? jennifer : what ? jack : [ sighs ] i am ... trying to win you ... the love of my life , back . after spending a year in an afghan cave . and knowing that , to win you back , i would have to change myself . do you really think that i would blow it all by following you around , you and dr . blondielocks around , in some funny mask ? do you really think that ? [ sighs ] okay . i know i probably do n't deserve your trust . correct that . i really do n't deserve your trust -- i understand that . but i do believe i am being convicted with some pretty flimsy evidence . jennifer : okay , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but i do n't -- who else would follow me around in a stupid mask and not even talk to me , except for you , jack ? jack : i 'm talking to you right now , a jennifer : okay , well , it just seemed like ... jack : like ... something that i would do . jennifer : yes . the old you , anyways . roman : look , i just wanted to make sure that you both knew this was n't an official visit . john : okay , so what can we do for you ? roman : i 'm just concerned how you two are holding up with all this pressure . marlena : well , we have our good days ... and we have our bad days , which is ... not unexpected . john : how about a nice cup of coffee , roman ? roman : well , actually , john , i , uh ... well , all right . thank you . marlena : whew . roman : are you sure i did n't come at a bad time ? marlena : [ chuckles ] john can get a little stir crazy ... but he appreciates anybody coming by to visit . roman : are you getting a lot of visitors ? marlena : would n't call it a lot , no . roman : so brady is keeping his distance ? marlena : brady 's not the only one . roman : yeah , i know . i talked to sami about getting over here more . marlena : she told me about that . maybe it 's just as well she does n't come . she would have a hard time masking her feelings , and she is not persuaded that john is innocent , and i do n't know for the life of me how to talk her out of that . john : people are gon na have their opinions about this situation and me . it 's something we expected , nothing we can change . the only thing that really matters now is the truth . carrie : look ... i love you , sami . sami : i love you . carrie : and you offering austin -- us -- a place to stay , it was an awesome thing to do . but ... sami : what ? carrie : we do n't want to cause trouble between you and rafe . maybe thinking that the past is just the past and that we can just ignore it . right now , we 're all getting along . sami : mostly . carrie : would n't it be nice to keep it that way ? i mean , do n't you agree ? rafe : yeah . sami : really ? carrie : i 'm just trying to be practical , that 's all . s carrie . that 's you . [ cell phone ringing ] carrie : sorry , i have a meeting downtown . austin : i 'll give you a ride . got ta get to work , anyway . carrie : great . great . sami : so , really , that 's the end of this discussion ? carrie : well , we can talk about it some more , but it 's not like this was ever a permanent arrangement . sami : good luck finding a place to stay . i hope you guys find somewhere great . austin : all right . ready ? carrie : see you at john and marlena 's later ? rafe : yeah . i 'll be there . austin : i 'm sorry . you two are meeting up later ? carrie : i 'll explain on the way . sami : how 'bout you explain to me now why you 're meeting up with my sister at my mom 's . rafe : 'cause i got a job . sami : really ? doing what ? rafe : i 'm gon na be working with carrie . she hired me as the lead investigator on john 's case . jack : so what else did i miss while i was in london ? i know that you were considering this opportunity of working with abe 's campaign . jennifer : uh , i 'm not considering it anymore . jack : you said yes ? jennifer : i did . jack : well , that 's great ! that 's wonderful ! i know you were on the fence about it , so what changed your mind ? jennifer : uh ... daniel did . jack : oh , i see . um ... well -- well , what did he do ? jennifer : oh , jack , you do n't wan na hear about this . jack : no , i do -- this was an amazing opportunity for you , and i 'm really excited about it . so , yes , i do want to hear what he did . jennifer : okay , um , he set up this meeting with this amazing political consultant , who just , you know , gave me tips on what my responsibilities would be , and it was great , because i realized this could be a good job . it could be a job that i could be good at . jack : that does n't surprise me . i mean , you 're good at anything you put your mind to . and it 's really good that he helped you get the opportunity . i mean , he 's a -- he 's a hell of a guy . jennifer : do n't oversell it , jack . jack : i 'm not . really . i mean , i think that it 's great ... that he would help you with this , and -- and maybe the old me would be really petty about it and would try to point out that he was using this opportunity to make points with you . jennifer : right , but this is the new you talking . jack : yes . jennifer : and the new you thinks that daniel is a hell of a guy ? jack : that 's right . jennifer : we better leave before i change my mind . jack : yes . your chariot in snow awaits . carrie : i hope we can use the loft tonight and have dinner , just the two of us . austin : yeah . yeah , me too . depending on when you get done with rafe . do i even want to ask why you 're meeting him at john and marlena 's ? jennifer : i hired him to be my investigator on the case . austin : you did what ? uh , is n't that something that you think you might have wanted to run by me ? jennifer : you 're working for the prosecution , so no . i did n't . austin : i also happen to be your husband , carrie . carrie : hey , this just happened yesterday . it 's not like i was planning on keeping it from you forever . austin : wow . really ? jennifer : austin , it 's win - win , okay ? john gets an experienced investigator on his side , rafe gets a job . which is what he needs , since he force . austin : yeah , and he would still have a job if the guy learned how to follow the chain of command . carrie : and not come to me about the investigation . is that what you mean ? austin : well , i do n't know what you want me to say about that . carrie : [ scoffs ] i ca n't argue with you . i ca n't argue every little detail about this case with you . austin : yeah , because it would be better if you saved your `` best of `` for the courtroom . [ sigh ] i 'm sorry . that was a really bad joke . carrie : yeah . austin : heh . but i 'll tell you what . i 'm not the only one who 's gon na have an opinion about this . carrie : [ chuckles ] you mean sami ? yeah , well , you know , the way i see it , her husband has a job , so she should be very happy about that . sami : so let me get this straight -- you got a job offer and chose not to tell me about it . rafe : yeah , that 's not what happened . sami : and then took the job and let me find out about it from carrie . rafe : okay , so let me get this straight : you 're getting mad at me for doing the exact , same thing that you did , except for my job offer was n't from some anonymous post on the net ? sami : oh ... so you did it out of spite ? rafe : no , i did it because i believe in what carrie is doing , i think that i have the skills to do the job well , and i do n't know if you remember this or not , but we have four kids and need the money . sami : okay . but you remember , right , that carrie is doing this job pro - bono ? rafe : which was why her law firm has agreed to pay me separately . jennifer : whew , i can not believe it 's snowing already . jack : oh , wow , it 's gon na be great . gon na be great skiing out there today . carrie : yeah , i ca n't wait . jack : uh - huh . hey , caroline ! how are you ? caroline : oh , look at you two .

[ pouring liquid ] i include myself in that group . jack : you seem fine to me . rafe : yeah . now . you know , but the thing is , just because you are free from being a hostage or being tortured , just because that door is flung wide open , that does n't mean you are free . jack : oh , i know that . i do , i do . i just , uh ... i 'd like to put the past behind me , if you know what i mean . just kind of like really just focus on the future . rafe : yeah . okay . jennifer : you ready ? ready to hit the road ? jack : ready , very ready . thank you . caroline : oh , i heard the radio , the weather report , it 's gon na be terrific . the conditions perfect . sami : i 'm so jealous . have so much fun . jack : we will , we intend to . jennifer : thanks . bye . we 're gon na hit the road . sami : yep . get out of here . jack : okay , we 'll see you . rafe : excuse me a second . sami : mm - hmm , no problem . jennifer : what were , uh , you and rafe talking about ? jack : oh , nothing , just ... shootin ' the breeze . sami : what are you looking at ? rafe : i was just thinking . sami : about what ? rafe : uh , probably overreacting . been a lot of that going on lately . what are you doing ? ah , come on , seriously ? we have n't even eaten anything yet -- sit down . sami : does n't matter . i wan na go . rafe : why ? sami : well , because i have a lot more i wan na say to you . and i 'm not gon na fight with you in front of my grandmother . rafe : come ... austin : we ca n't do this . you realize that , right ? we ca n't fight about sami and rafe too . carrie : why do you think i want to move out of their loft ? austin : i 'm with you . i want to get out of there as soon as we can . carrie : well ... look at that . something we agree on . austin : i hate this . and i know i 've said it before , but ... [ sighs ] fighting with you is the last thing that i want . carrie : feels like the longer this case goes on , the harder it is to avoid that . austin : yeah . and there is something else that i forgot to tell you . i 'm glad you 're back . god , i have missed the hell out of you . carrie : i missed you too . austin : can we just make a promise ... not to talk about this case anymore ? roman : that might be the smartest suggestion i 've heard all day . marlena : john .... please ... please let me help you . john : and what if you ca n't ? marlena : then let me try and help you . john : samantha 's reasons for thinking i could commit all these crimes ... i mean , it makes sense . you and i both know that . just because i ca n't remember does n't mean it did n't happen . that 's part of my life , is n't it ? if there are still things i do n't remember now after all this time , i think it 's safe to assume that i 'm not fully healed . now , i 'm not just talking about my arms and my legs . marlena : i know that . john : even after stefano tore my life apart and dissolved all the one constant through all that hell was you . your faith in me never wavered . marlena : it never will . john : but there will always be sections of my life that will stay a mystery to me . times when i could do just about anything . roman brady , check . forrest alamain , check . art thief , priest , soldier for hire -- check , check , check . i could be just about anyone . except me . you know , i kind of think that i 've known that all along . i know for a fact that you have known that all along , so if i 'm not fully sure of who i am now ... how can i be so damn positive that i 'm innocent ? jack : [ shivering ] jennifer : it is a mess out there . jack : what does that weatherman mean ? he said intermittent snow ! i mean , not a blizzard ! jennifer : it was like a sea of white -- it 's a good thing we got off the road when we did . jack : you know , this place is so tiny . you think anybody actually lives here ? jennifer : i do n't know . there 's a lot of coats on that rack . but it does n't look like anyone 's here now . jack : that explains , uh ... no electricity . jennifer : shoot . well , you know what ? it 's all right -- it 's better to ride out the storm right here instead of in the car , okay ? it 's probably covered by snow by now anyway . oh , look , jack ! there 's candles ! there 's matches . jack : i see a radio . there 's a radio right here . wait a minute . jennifer : does it work ? jack : i do n't know ! it 's the crank - up kind . let me -- i think it 's -- wait . [ radio static ] announcer : a weather advisory has been issued for all counties in the broadcast area . several roads have already been closed , including those leading in and out of callahan valley . our reporters are standing by . jennifer : you 're kidding me . that 's right where we are . oh , this is bad , jack . this is really bad . we 're gon na be here for a long time . roman : good to have you back . carrie : [ sighs ] good to be back . roman : i 'll be you 're happy too . austin : oh ... very . roman : so ... how was the trip ? carrie : it was good . roman : that 's all i get ? carrie : considering where we are and ... yeah , what the trip was about , i think it 's best that way . roman : understood . carrie : okay ... anyway , i should get going . i told john and marlena that i would come over there this morning to talk about the case . roman : okay , good . i just came from there . they 'll be glad to see you and hear any good news you might have for them . carrie : good . mwah ! call you later ? austin : yeah . i 'll be here . carrie : okay . roman : well , i hope you and carrie can stick to your game plan ... keep this case out of your personal lives . austin : [ chuckles ] roman : ca n't imagine it 's gon na be easy for you two to do that . austin : yeah . we 're not the only ones . sami : this place is so cool , is n't it ? it 's like the metrodome -- you know , snowing outside , but we 're all protected in here . it 's so cool they did such a great job of the new horton town square . rafe : yeah , all right . so whatever this is , can we just settle it now ? i do n't think you 're mad at me because i took a job without telling you , because you did that to me . but i think you 're mad because i took this job with carrie to prove john 's innocence . i need you to tell me why . why are you feeling this way ? marlena : why do you insist upon blaming yourself for things you 've never done wrong ? john : [ scoffs ] you do n't know that , doc . marlena : i do . you have gaps in your memory . i do n't have those same gaps . john : that wo n't matter to the jury . marlena : it matters to me ! it 's important to me . i was there every step of your recovery . your rehabilitation . i saw how determined you were to get your old life back . john : and what , you think that -- that proves that i 'm innocent ? marlena : it proves you were the man i 've always known . you are the man that i 've always loved , and you are the man that i will always , always defend . john : and your love has always given me the strength when i 've needed it the most . but after you hear what i 'm about to tell you , i 'm afraid that love of yours is not gon na save me this time . [ knock on door ] marlena : ignore it . john : i ca n't do that . marlena : john ... carrie : john , marlena , it 's carrie . john : come right in . carrie : good morning . trial is just around the corner , and i thought that we could concentrate ... you all right ? john : as my lawyer , i think that you may be very interested in what i have to say . jennifer : ah , there 's no food in here , jack . oh , , y did n't i think to bring the bag in from the car ? there 's so much food in the car . all right , well , you know what ? we 're trapped , so we just have to think of it as -- as a little adventure that we 're on , 'cause we are not getting out of here anytime soon . [ jack groaning ] jennifer : jack . you okay ? jack : oh , yeah . i 'm fine , i 'm fine , i 'm fine . [ sniffs ] i 'm good . yeah . [ grunting ] austin : carrie 's focused on proving that this photograph of john at the cafe is doctored somehow and it 's -- roman : okay , all right . austin : wait a minute . y - you do n't believe it either ? that john could be guilty . roman : no , i do n't . and to be honest with you , i do n't think you want to believe it , either . austin : are you kidding me ? my life would be a whole hell of a lot easier . what choice do i have ? this is my job . i look at the evidence in front of me , and , uh , i evaluate it objectively . and that 's what i 've been trained to do . roman : so wait a minute . what you 're telling me here is that your training is telling you john is guilty . austin : no , i 'm telling you that the evidence is telling me that , because the numbers add up , but the story does n't . and , roman , if you think that i enjoy saying that -- roman : no , no , no . no . i get that you do n't enjoy that . austin : carrie and i , i mean , we 're fighting . i hate it . and if there was one thread that i could pull on that would somehow make john look innocent , i would pull on it until the whole thing unraveled . but there 's nothing . there is nothing but accounts and documents and photographs that tell me otherwise . roman : you know what the problem is here , austin ? austin : that i 'm trapped in a lousy profession ? roman : no , that you 're trapped in the one thing that you have come to count on the most -- your own logic . and i think , in this case , i think you need to lean on something else that could help you out here . austin : what 's that ? roman : it 's your heart , man . your heart . john : you two have shown a lot of faith in me , in my innocence , ever since this whole thing started . marlena : that 's never going to change . john : you ca n't ignore this , doc . carrie : ignore what ? what is going on ? john : the photo ... hat cafe in paris . carrie : you were n't there , john -- we have a witness that can testify you were at the swiss clinic at the exact moment that photo was taken . it was doctored . it has to be . john : and what if it was n't ? carrie : [ sighs ] where 's this coming from ? john : last night , i was telling marlena ... i told her that when i first saw that photo , there was something about it . just ... just had this feeling . could n't really explain it . it was like a ... like déja vu . carrie : what was ? john : all of it . cafe ... table ... tablecloth . on the table . all of it was familiar . marlena : because it 's been hammered into you , even though you know it 's not true . john , the power of suggestion is very , very strong , and the medication you 're on can create déja vu feelings . john : no , it 's more than that . what i was trying to tell you last night is that these memories ... these , um , these visions , images , whatever the hell you wan na call 'em , that pertains to the cafe in paris , i was having them before that photo surfaced . carrie : what ? john : when you showed me that photo ... all you were showing me was a time and place of something that i had already remembered on my own . the details i had in my head were the exact , same details in that photo , so let me ask you this : if i was n't there , if i was n't captured on film using my phone to steal and transfer those funds , why the hell do i remember it so vividly ? roman : i 'll tell you what . i have been a cop for a long time , and if all i ever did was look at the evidence on the page , i would n't have lasted as long as i have . austin : you have a hell of a clearance rate , though . roman : [ laughs ] yeah , maybe . but any good cop -- in fact , any good professional , will tell you there are times when you just have to forget the facts and trust your gut . look at the person involved -- who is that person as an individual ? and if something 's telling you that person did n't do it ... even if you ca n't explain it yet , odds are you 're on to something . austin : yeah , but even when everything i have been taught is telling me something different ? roman : austin ... your wife is a very smart woman , and she is every bit as good a lawyer as you are an accountant . and she has come to the opposite conclusion . austin : come on , roman , do you think that i could forget what john means to carrie ? i have n't . roman : no , no . but carrie believes in john . and it 's not just sentiment . it 's for a reason . oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . she 's using her heart , guarantee you that . but she 's also using her head . austin : you 're right . she ' at ... mixing the two . roman : yeah . well , maybe it 's time you figured out now to do that . i 'll catch you later . austin : thanks . john : if i did this , how do i make it right ? i 've ruined so many people 's lives , but i ca n't give them their money back . i do n't know where it is . carrie : you ca n't give them the money back because you do n't know where it is . you 're not the one that took it ! john : but what if i was ? see , no one wants to talk about that , but it 's a real possibility . marlena : all right , fine . let 's talk about it . what if you did take it ? you 're still not responsible for it . john : how can you say that ? marlena : because stefano is responsible . he 's controlled your mind for so many years . john : no , no , we 're not gon na blame stefano for this . he 's been out of our lives for over 2 1/2 years . besides , he would not have had the access to me that he would have needed to control me . carrie : you ca n't be sure of that , john . i mean , look at who we 're talking about here . stefano , he could have bought his way into any of those clinics that you 've been to , any of those doctor 's who 've treated you . we 've seen it before . we ca n't discount that maybe you were actually under his influence . john : damn it , what are you saying here -- that i just ca n't break away from that bastard ? marlena : that 's it ! this is getting us nowhere . carrie : what are we gon na do ? marlena : john ... do you believe those memories are real ? john : what else can it be ? marlena : then let 's find out for sure . john : and how you gon na do that ?

[ laughs ] my mom and my sister tried that , man . did n't work . you ca n't save me . paul : hey , i 'm not trying to save you . i 'm just saying , maybe -- you talk about being nice . maybe you should try being nice to yourself . lucas : why the hell would i do that ? paul : because if will were here , he 'd say you deserve better . lucas : [ laughing ] [ crying ] i already had that conversation with my dead son . [ laughs ] paul : maybe you should start listening . lucas : why should i listen to him ? he 's dead , remember ? and i think i 'm tired of listening to you too , paul . paul : hey , at least -- come on . at least let me get you something to eat . come on . lucas : hey , you 're doing it again , man . do n't do that . you 're being too nice . you better back off . i warned you about that . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go continue this party across the street . paul : come on , lucas . lucas , wait . come on . lucas : hey , do me a favor . find sonny . make yourself happy . find him , and do whatever you can to stay with him , all right ?

[ whispering ] i 'm sorry . i know ... being a father meant so much to you and ... to have to go through this disappointment all over again ... deimos : no no no . i am not going through this disappointment again . not yet . because i do n't believe philip and i certainly do n't believe chloe . nicole : philip does n't have any reason to lie to me . deimos : really ? then why the hell would n't he tell me ? nicole : i do n't know , deimos . maybe because you have n't earned his respect yet . deimos : [ sighs ] you know what ? that 's it . i 'm done . alright ? i 'm not accepting this . i 'm gon na find out for sure . i want another test and i want it done today . nicole : deimos , do n't . deimos : you said that you 're leaving to go see chloe , right ? nicole : yes , at a little cafe . deimos : alright , nicole . if you ever cared about me , take me with you , alright ? nicole : this is n't going to end well , deimos . but i can see that you will not give up . ok , let 's go . deimos : alright .

[ scene_break ] rafe : hey ciara . do n't have to be so hard on your mom . she 's dealing with a lot right now , ok ? not to mention , you probably only know like 10 % of what stefano did to your family . ciara : he did n't deserve to die . not like that . rafe : ok . well then maybe you should look at it this way . the man was evil . i mean he was evil through and through . if he were alive today , he 'd probably just be torturing another family . i 'll let you guys talk . hang in there . hope : sorry about rafe . he ca n't help himself . his defending me . [ sniffles ] that 's no excuse for what i did . there 's none . zero . what i did was wrong . [ scene_break ] ciara : [ crying ] you are such a hypocrite . my whole life you have been telling me do the right thing . do n't lie . do n't steal . do n't do bad things . even the night that you got arrested . you were going on this speech of how i should n't take grandpa victor 's money . `` oh it 's dirty money . it 's tainted . he did bad things . `` and you 're a murderer . fine . yes . i get it . stefano was a cruel man . he was a gangster , a thief . probably a killer . but that did not give you the right to murder him . hope : i absolutely agree with you . i had no right ciara . there is no excuse for what i did . ciara : then why ? hope : because i was a mess . [ exhales ] terribly dark place after your dad died . i knew he 'd been kidnapped and tortured and then i thought evidence that pointed to stefano -- that he was responsible for what happened to your dad . and then you were kidnapped and i thought `` oh my god , it 's happening again . `` ciara : stefano was behind that ? hope : i thought so . i did . ciara , i swear with my heart , i really did . i confronted him and he laughed at me . and he said terrible things about your dad . and he kept going on and on . i do n't remember pulling the trigger . i do n't , but i did . i did . i pulled the trigger ciara . [ scene_break ] kimberly : no , you ca n't just go to mexico ... theresa : it 'll work , mom . it 'll work . ok he 'll buy it . he 'll wallow in it . my return will be proof of his power . i mean , not that he needs proof anyway . but once i 'm there , i 'll get close to him and -- shane : no ! no , absolutely not . if mateo ever finds out - theresa : look , he wo n't . you 're a spy . you raised me . i lived most of my life living a lie - kimberly : honey , no . no , shane . please talk to her -- theresa : you ca n't talk me out of this . listen . just believe me , dad . i have n't stopped thinking about this and ... he told me that i was back on mateo 's radar and i 've gone over it . over and over and over again . it 'll work . ok ? i 'll make it work . shane : but how do you propose to do that . theresa : [ sighs ] well first [ crying ] i 'll leave brady and tate . and then i will convince everyone that i 'm `` old theresa `` again . selfish to the core . drinking and boozing and ... then i 'll just .. i 'll go back to mexico . kimberly : no . no , this is insane . no , please do n't . theresa : once i am living with him , i 'll be able to get enough information that can take him and his cartel down . shane : no , i 've already said no , jeannie . for god sakes . this is n't some hollywood movie , sweetheart , with a happy ending . this is real life . people get killed . theresa : i know that , but what choice do i have ? if i run , then he 'll kill brady and tate . maybe you and mom , just to punish me . kimberly : oh , dear god . theresa : and i 'll have to keep running the rest of my life , or his . so this way , if i can just get enough information on him and his cartel , then i have a chance to come home to my family . case closed . [ scene_break ] hope : baby , i 'm not asking anyone 's forgiveness . because i 'm never going to forgive myself . it 's good that the truth came out , it needed to . keeping it all buried inside , it was the guilt , it was eating me alive . ciara : that makes so much sense . i mean since , the way that you 've been since it happened . i mean , the sadness , i just -- i saw in your eyes . and the way that you just curl up on the couch . and now you just stare out into nothing . it was like your world was so empty . hope : it felt empty , baby . but you know what the worst part is ? what scares me the most ? not prison . what scares me is what this could do to you . my baby . ciara , i 'm sorry . god , i 'm sorry , baby . i 'm so sorry , baby . ciara : mom , it 's ok . i 'm gon na be ok . and i 'm never gon na stop loving you . we 're gon na get through this , ok ? we will . hope : come here . come here , baby .

[ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] kayla : no answer ? hope : no . kayla : well , maybe belle is in class or in the library or something . hope : or with philip . kayla : come on . do n't go there . you gave belle the benefit of the doubt when you did n't tell shawn . hope : i did that for shawn . kayla : and because you believed that belle was n't gon na let this happen again . that 's what you said . hope : i ca n't believe that she slept with philip . she betrayed shawn . kayla : listen , we are pulled in different directions in our life . you know that . hope : i know . i know . kayla : well , things happen , and belle and philip have a history . hope : shawn and belle have a history , as well . kayla : she said she made a mistake and she regrets it . hope : which still leaves me with a big , fat secret , and i hate it . keeping secrets from bo and shawn -- it terrifies me . you know your brother . kayla : well , i think you have to have faith that belle is gon na come to her senses . hope : god , i hope you 're right . i hope she does and steers clear of philip . kayla : you know , maybe you should just relax , because -- you know what ? -- shawn is a match any day of the week for philip . hope : i do n't think he believes that right now . philip certainly throws money around -- and a lot of it . kayla : i think you have to trust that he can stand up for himself . hope : poor shawn . he never gets a break . kayla : well , that 's all gon na change now . look , he 's been accepted into the police academy . no . come on , now . come on . he is bo 's son . he 's roman 's nephew . there is no way he is not gon na be put back in the police department . once he 's a cop again , he and belle can get married . they can get their own house , have a little privacy , and -- who knows ? -- maybe another baby . hope : you sold me , and i hope you 're right . kayla : yeah , besides , there is no way that philip could keep shawn from being a cop . [ scene_break ] hope : hey . bo : hey . somebody did . that anonymous letter slamming shawn did its job . the board 's not letting him continue . bo : the board gave shawn the boot based on what was in that letter . hope : a letter that someone was too cowardly to sign their name to . bo : yeah , but the contents ca n't be denied . but shawn 's gon na get another shot at the beginning of the year if he does n't blow it first . kayla : how could he do that ? bo : by not taking responsibility for what was in that letter . see , he blames philip for all the bad things that are happening to him , including the letter . he was about to go after philip . i had to talk him down . kayla : well , um , hope will have to give you the same pep talk i gave her . i got to get to work . i 'll be in touch . bo : okay . later , sis . fancy face , our biggest problem here is that shawn thinks philip 's targeting him . hope : maybe he is . bo : what do you mean by that ? hope : i need to tell you something , but before i tell you , i need for you to promise me that you 're not gon na go off the handle . bo : this does not sound good . hope : it 's not good . just please promise me that we 're gon na talk it over before you go crazy . bo : how can i promise you anything if i do n't know what it is ? hope : then i ca n't tell you . bo : [ sighs ] okay . i promise . hope : belle slept with philip . bo : she what ? [ scene_break ] belle : philip , your ego is amazing . i do n't belong to you . philip : you belong with me . belle : no , i do n't . shawn is the man that i want to be with . philip : we made love . belle : because at that moment , i needed someone 's arms around me . i had just buried my father . philip : that 's what people in love do , belle . they comfort each other . they go to the person that makes them feel safe . whatever this is , it 's not friendship . shawn d. : hey , belle . [ scene_break ] bo : belle slept with philip ? it 's i do n't believe this . hope : you mean you do n't want to believe it . neither did i . bo : how long have you known ? hope : not very long . bo : how long ? hope : maybe -- i do n't know -- barely 24 hours , maybe a little bit longer . brady , wait . bo : i told shawn not to go after philip even if he did write that damn letter , and now you tell me this ? hell , i 'll go after him myself . hope : bo , wait ! calm down . bo : shawn was right . philip 's doing everything he can to make him look pathetic . he 's got to know about this . hope : and then what ? what 's gon na happen ? huh ? shawn nearly took his head off when he found out philip was alone with her . how do you think he 's gon na react when he finds out he slept with her ? [ scene_break ] belle : hey , honey . how was your day ? how did your meeting with the commander go ? philip : i 'm out of here . shawn d. : what 's the rush , buddy ? do n't you want to stick around , hear how my meeting went ? this is my future we 're talking about here , except i do n't have one -- not with the academy , anyways -- because somebody wrote an anonymous letter saying that i do n't have what it takes . belle : oh , shawn . philip : tough break . shawn d. : so , why 'd you do it ? to get belle back ? philip : if i wanted to kill your chances at the academy , i would have written a big , fat check and told them to cut me a favor . i do n't do anonymous . shawn d. : do n't play me for a fool . i know you wrote that letter . philip : you do n't know jack about anything . belle : that 's it . you 're going . shawn , do n't . shawn d. : i tried to just let it go , but philip played dirty and not let me get goaded into going after him , but it 's obvious he 's not gon na stop unless i stop him myself . belle : would you stop it ? philip did n't write that letter . i did . [ scene_break ] lucas : i do n't know how to let you go . i ca n't . i do n't know how to do it .

'cause mayor carver and i are gon na put an end to corruption in this here town . hope : joking aside , i think you will . bo : gon na do our damnedest . hope : mm - hmm . how about you start right here in this department ? get rid of a few certain cops who might be on dimera 's payroll . bo : yeah . we 'll get to that . but first , we got a couple of murders we got to take care of .

[ scene_break ] tony : abe 's victory 's practically a given , thanks to the mayor 's untimely demise . are you saying you did n't have a hand in that ? stefano : you know , it saddens me so much to think that you have such a low opinion about your own father . tony : well , that 's a classic non - answer . you know , father , you should have gone into politics yourself , what with your extraordinary talent for spin , hypocrisy . stefano : yeah , well , the best i ever got from my son - in - law was a supercilious sneer . he loathes me , and i find him an insufferable bore , so why would i help the man ? tony : to get into your daughter 's good graces . stefano : you know , if my daughter does not respect and appreciate me for who i am and what i 've already done with her , to hell with her . tony : so like you to talk about one of your children that way . stefano : antony , i love alexandra with all of my heart . she 's my flesh and blood . she was my pride and joy . tony : was ? what , you 're not proud of he anymore ? no more joy ? stefano : carver has turned her against me . it happens . i can live with that . as long as she is happy with him , hey , that 's all that matters . and let me tell you something . [ sighs ] no matter how much disdain he has for me , all right , i will rejoice in his success . tony : ah , ever the class act . stefano : all right , i will admit i am not overjoyed with her choice of husband , all right , but i will take a lot of pride in her being the new salem first lady , all right ? and you want to know something else ? i do n't think there 's gon na be a prouder moment in my life when i am dancing with my daughter at the inaugural ball . tony : [ laughs ] i would n't break out the tuxedo just yet . stefano : i realize that alexandra and i have a difficult relationship . i will admit that , all right ? but there 's a lot of deep love there . tony : is that why you killed a man for her ? stefano : you know , you are not only a cynic . you 're an insufferable bore ! tony : what , like abe and everyone else who does n't worship at your shrine ? stefano : everybody knows that i will do anything for my family , all right ? but even an idiot knows that i draw the line at murder . tony : ah , but the question is , do you draw the line at hiring someone to kill for you ? stefano : here 's my mail . you see how much mail i have here ? you want to look through it ? go ahead . you take it . help yourself . look through it . maybe you 'll find a bill for the hit man that i hired to kill the mayor , all right ? oh , my god . i hope my bill is not past due . tony : i hope you realize that if you did try to help alexandra that you 've only succeeded in putting abe 's entire political career at risk .

[ scene_break ] roman : so what 's going on with dimera ? abe : well , apparently , after my fiasco of a press conference , lexie went to her old man and asked him to withdraw his support for mayor marino . by the end of the day , marino was dead . roman : damn . you got to be kidding me . abe : so connect the dots . roman : and we got a picture of stefano with a smoking gun . abe : but i do n't expect we 're gon na get much out of him . roman : sure as hell worth a try . abe : all right , let 's go .

brady : yeah . kristen : i could n't tell you a thing about it . you know what i think it is ? it 's just wedding jitters . brady : how could you possibly have wedding jitters ? i mean , aside from the fact that every one of our wedding guests opposes our union ? brady : okay , do n't joke about it . brady : all right , i 'm gon na be totally serious with you right now , all right ? kristen : should i steel myself ? brady : no , this is all good . in a short amount of time in the near future , my family and all my friends are gon na see you as the wonderful woman that i see you as . kristen : okay , but what if they do n't ?

brady : it 's your wedding gift . kristen : that 's not a hint . brady : all right , that 's not -- here 's a hint . this is something that you 've wanted ... as much as i do . sonny : so , when you were modeling , did you work regular hours or every day , or how did -- gabi : no , it was just , uh , three or four times a week , couple hours a day . i mean , it was n't something mentally challenging , but it was something that i liked , and it was fun . sonny : that 's good . jackie : sonny , sorry to bother you . sonny : what 's up , jackie ?

come on . kate : really ? you do n't think i 'm justified ? you do n't think that we should know that every person that rafe comes into contact with at that hospital is legitimate ? lucas : because of what bernardi tried to do to him , right ? kate : yes . obviously , yes . lucas : no other reason ? you sure ? kate : do we need a better reason ? lucas : i do n't know . just curious -- that 's all . does it have anything to do with rafe 's p.t . being young and female and allergic to kissing your ass ? kate : oh . oh , that 's nice . that 's really nice . what a rude thing to say . lucas : it 's the truth , is n't it ? kate : why would you say that ? who told you that ? lucas : you did , mom . kate : no , no . i never said she was young and beautiful . lucas : really ? 'cause i never said she was beautiful . is she beautiful ? how beautiful is this woman ? kate : oh , my god , that 's really not the point , lucas . lucas : i think it is the point . kate : i 'm responsible for her working with him . i inserted her into his life . rafe : well , something 's changed here . the tone of your voice , the fact that you 're not looking at me . jordan : how many times do i have to say this ? i 'm your therapist , and you 're my patient . there are professional boundaries . rafe : you did n't overstep any professional boundaries last night . i 'm sure it 's totally normal . it happens when two people spend a lot of time together . jordan : rafe , we 're not two people . you are my patient . rafe : exactly . and i have spent more time with you in the last three months than i 've ever spent with anyone . w - we 've talked . i 've opened up to you . i 've told you things ... i mean , what do i know about you ? the only thing i know is you walked in here like some robot . then you finally loosened up , and that had a shelf life of what , seven hours ? jordan : well , there is n't much to know . rafe : all right . so you have no life outside of work , hmm ? is that it ? jordan : it 's none of your concern . rafe : hmm . okay . well , that 's too bad , because i really ... thought we were starting to become friends . i really did . kristen : how long are you gon na go on torturing me ? brady : i love doing this . you need to be patient . kristen : i do n't do patient . you know that . brady : well , try . kristen : no . so either you tell me what my surprise is , or ... i 'm gon na be forced to cook for you . brady : you would never do that to me . kristen : i would do it . brady : you love me too much to cook for me . mommy ! hi , honey ! [ squeals ] let 's go . brady : she 's a cutie . we can have that one day , you know . kristen : i hope so . brady : well , until that time , and to avoid having any of your burnt grilled cheese sandwiches ... kristen : oh , yeah ? what ? brady : i say that with love . kristen : uh - huh . brady : here you go . kristen : yeah ? surprise ? brady : that 's it . kristen : okay , it 's not jewelry -- i know that . brady : it 's not . kristen : wow . a travel itinerary ? brady : it 's a three - month travel itinerary . and we 're gon na go everywhere in the world that you and i have ever talked about going to -- everywhere . kristen : but , brady , some of these places are kind of remote . you know , i 'm supposed to meet with roberto in peru in a few weeks . brady : [ laughing ] kristen : what ? brady : roberto in peru is gon na have to wait , 'cause that 's postponed . we 're going off the grid , baby . we 're going where there are no cell phones , no wi- fi . it 's just us . i wanted to do this for you . and that means you 're going away from everyone and everything -- this whole place for a while , even your father . i mean , if you 're worried about it , i understand , but -- kristen : no , i 'm in . are you kidding me ? i want to go ! i want to go ! brady : i was hoping you 'd say that . kristen : yeah . ej : look , i know he 's a priest , so he gets a lot of leeway ... but you put your brother on some high pedestal , samantha . sami : do n't you think he deserves it ? i mean , after everything that he has done with his life ? i mean , he ... he photographed all those terrible things , and then ... and then he saw everything . he saw it , and he decided to do something about it . he decided to -- i do n't know -- help all those people and do god 's work . i 'm proud to be his twin sister . i mean , a little jealous too . ej : why are you jealous ? sami : because let 's face it -- he 's a better person than i am . um , ej , that was the part where you were supposed to say , `` that 's not true . `` ej : are you kidding ? samantha , your brother is a better person than you and i will ever be , combined . he is . sami : that is not true ! ej : [ laughing ] yes , it is . sami : take it back ! take it back !

eric : sometimes i 'm not sure i 've handled everything here the way it should be handled . as much as i appreciate being near the family that i love , maybe a fresh start ... away from all the distractions at home would be good for me . bishop white : son , uh ... you 're not rethinking your vocation , are you ? eric : your excellency , no . my vocation means everything to me . when i joined the church , it defined who i am ... in ways that nothing before it ever had . bishop white : i know you found your calling when you were in africa . eric : god tested me during that time , and maybe this is his latest test . bishop white : leaving st. luke 's ? eric : if i can make more of a difference elsewhere . what is it , your excellency ? bishop white : i know i said i was tempted to move you somewhere where the need was greater , but ... what about the differences you 're making right here ? lucas : thanks . okay , wait . now -- now i 'm confused here . if you 're the one who brought this jordan woman in to help rafe , why all of a sudden are you probing into her background ? a little bit threatened maybe , mom ? kate : no . lucas : well , you did break it off with rafe before he was attacked , right ? kate : yes . lucas : what , you did n't mean it ? kate : it 's not about that , okay ? what it 's about is that i had a feeling , and i acted on it , and now i am waiting for my private investigator to fill in the blanks about ms . ridgeway . lucas : okay , and ? kate : and ... according to mr. ortiz , jordan ridgeway did n't exist several years ago . jordan : we 're not friends , rafe . we 're therapist and patient -- end of story . i 'll be back later . rafe : i know we made a connection last night ... just like the one we 're making now . i 'm sorry if that scares you . it scares me a little too . i wo n't push it . i promise . but do n't shut me out . it does n't have to go back to the way it was . jordan : i 'll be back . bishop white : you 're not only fortifying this parish , you 're helping new couples start off their married lives with a strong spiritual foundation . eric : that 's my stepbrother , brady black , and his fiancée , kristen dimera . i 'm marrying them today . bishop white : case in point . after the scandal of their relationship threatened to destroy the school , you found a way past it . and now the school is stronger than ever . and you 're about to bless their union in the church . eric : mysterious ways . yes . bishop white : i spoke with ms . dimera at the school opening . she was ... not happy at the time , but she and mr. black seem to have worked all things out . eric : yes , they have . i must admit -- when my brother approached me about having a church wedding , i was ... i was a bit reluctant . but when he and kristen offered to attend pre - cana sessions ... i knew that they were serious about this . bishop white : most uplifting when people make that kind of commitment to each other and to their faith . and i 'm proud that you were part of the process , focher . eric : thank you . and you 're more than welcome to attend if you plan on staying in salem for the night . bishop white : i am , actually . i do have some business later at holy cross , but if possible , yes . i 'll try my best to come back here for the ceremony . eric : well , i would be honored , your excellency , as i 'm sure that kristen and brady would be too . brady : and now there 's only one -- one more thing i got to do today . kristen : mm , what ? brady : i got to go talk to eric . i want to make sure that he 's gon na officiate our wedding , because i do n't want to find some replacement priest out there at the last minute . kristen : oh , he would n't do that . brady : i hope not , but i just need to make sure . kristen : okay . brady : i love you , beautiful . see you later . kristen : [ sighs ] dr. chyka , i need you to come to the mansion a.s.a.p . , do you understand me ? because ... i just need you to assure me that my life is not gon na totally go up in smoke . nick : and now for my next trick ... `` hey , gabi . i have something ... for you . can we meet ? `` question mark . gabi : `` hey , gabi . i have something for you . can we meet ?

rafe : jordan . lucas : just because your guy ca n't dig up any dirt on jordan ridgeway does n't mean she 's bad news . she could 've just changed her name or something . a lot of people do that when they want to get a fresh start in life . kate : oh , really ? like who ? lucas : i do n't know . dwayne `` the rock `` johnson , lucas horton ... kate : oh , you -- agh ! you are absolutely impossible , okay ? so i 'm leaving . honey , i love you , but ... lucas : i love you too . wait a second . kate : i will talk to you later . lucas : i just want to know one thing . if jordan 's so great with rafe , if she 's really helping him and nobody 's complaining about it , why are you borrowing trouble ? kate : okay . everything we needed to discuss is explained in here , all right ? and please keep this conversation just between the two of us . thanks for your support . lucas : hey , i do support you . i just do n't want to see you get hurt again -- that 's all . kate : mommy 's a big girl now . i can take care of myself . kristen : apparently ... father eric is remembering what happened to him that night at the capitol plaza hotel . now , the one bright spot is that he does n't remember it was me he had sex with . he thinks it was with his secretary . dr. chyka : well , then you 're safe . kristen : [ chuckles ] what if you 're wrong ? dr. chyka : but you just said -- kristen : i just said he thinks he had sex with nicole , but apparently he is remembering , is n't he ? now , what if he remembers that it was me ? what if he remembers that it was me ... while he 's joining his brother and me in holy mathomony ? bishop white : whatever is troubling you , father , i 'm here as a sounding board if you need me . eric : i 'm fine . i really am .

[ chuckles ] i think my invitation got lost in the mail . ej : oh , that 's a pity . kate : yeah . i 'm trying to remember the last time i saw you . i ... i remember . it was the night that an innocent member of your family paid for the sins of your father . ej : chad is much better . thank you . and we are all very fortunate . kate : yes , you are very fortunate . he 's a very charming , attractive young man . i 'm sure he 's going to live a very long life . ej : how 's your life ? kate : what do you mean ? ej : i worry about you -- that 's all . i hear that , uh , rafe is under the spell of a very young , attractive , young therapist . kate : ha ! ej : jordan , right ? kate : yes . yes , that 's her name . ej : that 's her name . hmm . well , it is a good thing that you 're such a confident and secure woman , because anybody else , i 'm sure , would be quite nervous with the amount of time that he is spending with this , um ... jordan . ah . i 'll save you a piece of cake . rafe : jordan 's the reason that i 'm getting through this . and now i feel like i 've blown it with her . gabi : how could you have blown it , rafe ? rafe : well ... she 's a very private person . but recently ... it seems like she 's opened up a little ... or at least i thought so . then last night -- gabi : wait . hold on . did you bust a move on her ? rafe : what ? gabi : rafe ? rafe : no , i did not bust a move on her . are you seri -- no . we were hanging out . we were laughing . we were talking , having a great time . then she walks in here this morning , she 's got her nose in her tablet , like we never made a connection , like it never happened . gabi : okay , well , maybe you did something to scare her off . rafe : i did not do anything to scare her off . gabi : well , obviously you did n't mean to . i mean , maybe it was just a look you gave her or something that you might 've said . rafe : well , there was one thing . well , there was a moment . i looked into her eyes , and ... i wanted to protect her . eric : yes . i will marry you and kristen today . brady : come on . it means ... it means a lot to me , man . eric : yeah , but ... brady : it really does . eric : i just want you to know that i 'm still bothered ... that you and kristen kept the truth about nicole 's feelings from me . brady : i know you are . and i am sorry about it . i really am . but honestly , i ... i do n't see what the big deal is . eric : i know you do n't , but i can tell you that it 's caused a huge , huge rift between me and nicole , and i 'm not sure i can get past that . brady : well , that 's a shame . i thought nicole had her feelings under control . eric : yeah , well , you thought wrong -- she did n't ... not at all . kristen : [ grunting wildly ] dr. chyka : ms. dimera , please calm down . kristen : oh ! you want me to calm down ? you want me to calm down ? i 'm getting married today . father eric is performing the ceremony , dr. chyka . now , would n't it just be a tad catastrophic if he flashes on my face when we 're in the middle of our vows ? dr. chyka : what do you suggest that i do ? kristen : oh , i suggest that you make sure that father eric does n't remember anything more than he already does , ever . that 's what i suggest . dr. chyka : ms. dimera , we all know that memories can be faulty , especially drug - induced ones . and while i understand your worries , i think that you 're looking for trouble . the priest believes he remembered something and has drawn a conclusion from it . that 's the end of it . kristen : oh . you better hope that 's the end of it , or it 's gon na be the end of you . dr. chyka : unless ... kristen : unless what ? unless what ? dr. chyka : do you suppose this priest is the type of man who might lie in wait and try to trap you ? kristen : [ laughing ] rafe : you know , that 's really sweet , rafe , but i do n't think that jordan 's that kind of woman . rafe : what kind ? gabi : well , the kind that needs a man to protect her . rafe : i 'm not saying she does . i know what kind of woman she is -- strong , independence determined . i just hope we can go back to working together again ... the way we were ... and be friends . gabi : well , i 'm sure it 's all gon na get worked out , okay ? all you have to do is -- is do exactly what she says ... and try not to scare her off . rafe : i 'm gon na scare you off right now . gabi : oh , please . i 'm shaking . i 'm so scared , rafe hernandez . rafe : watch out . gabi : yeah , watch out . brady : look , man , again , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for my part in ... keeping cole 's feelings from you , but ... it 's clear from your reaction that you have n't told me everything that 's gone down between you and her . so why do n't you talk to me about it ? eric : no . brady : eric , come on , this thing is eating you up . maybe i can help . eric : no . brady : okay -- eric : i 'll see you at the wedding . brady : no , you know what ? you know what , man ? i do n't want you to dismiss me like that . i 'm your brother , and i need to know what is going on with you . so why do n't you forget about the collar , okay ? forget about the laws , forget about what you 're supposed to be feeling , what you 're supposed to be thinking , and just talk to your brother . what is going on ? kristen : father eric lying in wait to trap me ? [ laughs ] you know , i sincerely think that 's one of the stupidest things you 've ever said . he does n't have a malicious bone in his body , okay ? dr. chyka : well , if he 's such a good person , then why did you take advantage of him ? kristen : [ sighs ] look , what i did had nothing to do with him and everything to do with getting back at his mother , but i do n't want you to think about that . i want you to concentrate on one thing , and that 's making sure that eric does n't remember he had sex with me and that he thinks he had sex with nicole . are we clear ? dr. chyka : yes , i think i can come up with another potion to keep things stable . kristen : well , why did n't you tell me that before ? dr. chyka : because i had to give it some thought . kristen : oh ! you had to give it some thought . okay , well , what is it ? dr. chyka : i believe that i can make those vague images father eric 's been having disappear forevermore . kristen : is n't that what i asked you to do from the very beginning ?

bonnie : oh , i thought i heard someone . hey , baby girl . mimi : hi , mom . bonnie : oh , my goodness . what the heck is all that ? mimi : those are max 's ledgers from the garage . they 're a total mess . bonnie : wow . mimi : is that a new dress ? bonnie : yes , you like ? mimi : i thought you said you were broke . bonnie : please , give me a break . i may not have thousands of dollars just laying around to foot the bill for your car repairs , but i think i can still take advantage of a lousy factory - outlet sale . caroline : how about this ? you tell the truth totally and completely . try it for one week . mimi : no , mom , actually , the dress is really awful . bonnie : excuse me ? mimi : the print is horrendous . the cut is unflattering , and the green in the dress kind of makes your skin look green . bonnie : please do n't hold back . tell me how you really feel . mimi : you said you wanted my honest opinion . bonnie : you 're right . i did . i did . oh . right . this is horrible . it 's just been so long since i had anything new , i just could n't resist . mimi : i still do n't understand where your money is going . bonnie : like i told you , i 'm having a cash - flow problem . business at alice 's has been down , and what little money i have left after i pay all the bills is going towards an investment for the future . mimi : crazy . here you and i are working our tails off , and we 've got nothing . meanwhile , patrick does nothing , and he 's loaded . bonnie : whoa . whoa ! what do you mean patrick has money ? since when ? shawn d. : not bad for an hour 's work , huh ? willow : you made all of this in an hour ? shawn d. : oh , and there is more where that came from . willow : and where is that exactly ? shawn d. : e.j . wells . you were right , willow . it was the perfect place to go looking for a job , and you wo n't believe what i had to do to get that . willow : knock somebody around ? shawn d. : nope . all i had to do was deliver stuff between him and some guy named patrick lockhart . willow : really ? shawn d. : mm - hmm . willow : what kind of stuff were you delivering ? shawn d. : i do n't know . but it was just an envelope today . the way that i look at it is that for 500 bucks a pop , i can afford not to know exactly . my dad said i could n't trust him . but i mean , come on , all right ? this guy e.j . -- he 's an international celebrity . it 's not like he 's gon na be some criminal . he 's paying me for my time . i 'm on call 24 - 7 . willow : well , baby , you are in the money now , and you can take care of your little girl just the way you like . shawn d. : and i can prove to everybody , including belle , that i am worthy of being claire 's father . the first thing i 'm gon na do is i 'm gon na get a place big enough for a nursery . and it 's gon na be nice , and it 's gon na be in a great part of town . willow : that sounds great . i just have one question . is there room in the apartment for me ? billie : steve ... steve : hey . i was n't sure you were coming back . did you get kayla 's folks home all right ? billie : i sure did . and of course i came back . i 'm gon na be here until you get better , which should be soon , right ? the doctors said it should be soon . steve : well , yeah , as soon as they 're sure i 'm not a walking chemical spill . billie : i can not wait to be able to touch you . hey ... what 's the matter ? what 's wrong ? hope : we really did have some great times together , did n't we , the four of us -- you and me and steve and kayla ? bo : mm - hmm . we sure did . hope : seems like just yesterday , like no time has passed at all . yet so much has changed , happened . it hurts to look back . bo : fancy face , it 's not too late for us . we can still get back what we once had . we can . like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . bo : man . never fails . hope : please , do n't make a scene . no matter what , patrick is going to be a part of my life , always will be . i 'm having his baby . and besides , i do need to speak to him . bo : now ? hope : do you mind , please ? we have some unfinished business . just -- bo : fine , do what you got to do . hope : hey . patrick : hey . hope : hi . patrick : sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . i 've been looking everywhere for you . you have n't returned my calls . hope : yeah , i know . i 'm sorry . i 've meant to return your calls . i have . i 've just been so busy running back and forth to the hospital . actually , i really need to get back there to see steve . patrick : why do n't i take you ? it 'll give us a chance to talk . hope : oh , patrick , i do n't know . patrick : come on , i promise . it wo n't take that long . i just need a few minutes . hope : all right . let me just tell bo that -- that i 'm leaving . bonnie : answer me , meems . what makes you think patrick 's got money ? mimi : because i saw it . bonnie : saw what ? mimi : this . i saw this . bonnie : holy crap . that 's a hell of a lot of lettuce . mimi : told you . but where do you think he got it ? bonnie : who cares where he got it ? what are you so worried about ? mimi : i 'm worried because bo is still watching his every move . and what if patrick is in some kind of trouble ? bonnie : oh , he 's not . besides , if you 're so concerned , why do n't you just ask him where he got the money ? mimi : i did , but he gave me some lame excuse about investments paying off . bonnie : maybe it 's true . mimi : i know my brother . he was lying to me . maybe you should talk to him . he might tell you what 's going on . bonnie : and why would he do that ? mimi : because he knows you have no scruples . he does n't have to hide anything . bonnie : that 's a fine thing to say , even if it is true . nonetheless , i 'm not gon na question my son like he 's some kind of criminal . mimi : you just do n't want to confront him because you 're afraid to know the truth . billie : steve , something 's wrong . tell me what it is . steve : you know , my body feels like it 's been run over by a mack truck . billie : i can imagine . steve : and i 'm ... i 'm worried about stephanie . billie : well , she 's gon na be okay . she 's gon na be going home soon , right ? steve : she 's okay physically , but i 'm worried that if something happens to her mom , i do n't think she can take it . you know , she acts all tough on the outside , but underneath that , she 's really just a scared little girl looking for her daddy to make everything better . i have n't been able to do a damn thing to help her or her mother . billie : steve , you 've been sick yourself . what can you do from inside a quarantine unit ? steve : i do n't know . maybe nothing . you know , you ought to go home and get some rest . i 'm feeling tired myself . billie : okay . see you later . steve : see you later . nurse : calling it a night ? billie : no , actually , i 'm gon na go get something to eat , but i 'll be back . nurse : okay . shawn d. : to be honest , i actually really have n't thought about us moving in together . willow : look , i did n't mean to put you on the spot . it 's just with what i make at the restaurant , i ca n't afford a place of my own . and i just thought since you and i get along so great and everything -- well , it 'd be really nice to get out of here , have a little bit more space , a real bathtub and a table to eat at . but i understand . it 's not your problem . shawn d. : i 'm not saying that . you have been really cool to let me stay here , and i want to repay the favor , but i just -- willow : but you ca n't have an ex - hooker living in your apartment . your friends and family would n't understand . so , you know what ? let 's just forget i mentioned it . it was a really stupid idea . shawn d. : come on . that 's not it at all . i do n't care what people think . it 's just that we have n't really talked about having any sort of a future together , and i 'm not in a place -- willow : did you just say future together ? shawn d. : yeah . willow : shawn , it 's not like i asked you to marry me or grow old and gray with me . i 'm just looking for a better place to call home or any place to call home 'cause i never exactly had a real one . i just want a place where i can hang pictures on the wall and cook and have friends over and -- oh , god ! how pathetic do i sound ? i did n't mean to manipulate you with my sob story . let 's just forget about this and you find a beautiful place for you and claire -- shawn d. : i am not gon na forget about it , okay ? i want you to have a nice place -- a place that 's not the `` y. `` we 're gon na look for a place together for the both of us and claire . willow : are you sure ? i did n't just guilt you into this ? shawn d. : no , it 's what i want to do . i think it 'll be great . willow : thank you ! thank you so much . you 're not gon na regret this . bonnie : where are you going ? mimi : to work . i 'm late . bonnie : back to the garage at this hour ? mimi : no , my second job . unlike patrick , i have to work for a living . [ telephone rings ] bonnie : [ speaking indistinctly ] hello ? oh , lauren , hello . how 's our little mother doing ? you know , i was just thinking about you . what do you mean there 's a problem ? do n't tell me there 's something wrong with the baby . steve : thanks , hope . hey , i really appreciate this . hope : you do n't have to thank me . actually , bo and i really -- really enjoyed reliving our memories , our adventures . steve : man , this is great stuff . you got a lot of detail in here , did n't you ? hope : believe it or not , this is just the tip of the iceberg . hey , i tell you what -- i 'll keep writing things down as they come to me , and who knows ? maybe something will jog your memory . it might just take one thing -- the right thing , the right moment , just like with stephanie the other day . steve , you remembered she was your daughter . steve : yeah . but i still did n't remember kayla . i 'll never forget the pain in her eyes when i told her i did n't remember her . i do n't know if i ever will , hope , but i do know that i ca n't walk out on the mother of my child if there 's even a chance i can do something to save her . willow : oh , well , look who decided to stroll in . glad you could make it . mimi : not that it 's any of your business , but i happen to have another job . willow : yeah , shawn told me . you 're working at max 's garage , like that 's not desperate . mimi : what ? willow : well , you 'll obviously do anything to get shawn back , but he does n't need max anymore . he 's out of there . mimi : so i 've heard . and for your information , i 'm working at the garage because i need the money and max happened to have an opening . and as for desperate , at least i would never resort to selling my body . willow : good thing 'cause you 'd probably starve . mimi : yeah , and it 's worked out so well for you , willow . willow : well , a couple of weeks ago , i was living on the streets , and now i 'm getting out of the `` y , `` moving on up . mimi : okay , i 'll bite . where are you going , willow ? hopefully somewhere far away . willow : sorry , i 'll still be here in salem , living with your soon - to - be ex- husband . shawn and i are getting a place together . shawn d. : got some good news . e.j . gave me a bonus , so i can start paying you back for the boat now . bo : hey , shawn -- shawn d. : hey , it 's my fault you lost her , dad . i know how much the fancy face means to you . it 's the least i can do . bo : you 're being responsible , and i 'm proud of you , but i think you should concentrate on taking care of your daughter . shawn d. : with the amount of money i 'm gon na be making , i can take care of all my responsibilities , no problem . bo : how much is wells paying you to work on cars ? bonnie : oh , thank god . you about gave me a heart attack . i thought something happened to the baby . what do you mean it still could ? you know what ? just stay there . i 'm on my way . billie : hey . hope : hi . you 're back . billie : yeah . hope : did you see steve ? billie : yeah , i did . i did . he 's pretty tired , but that 's to be expected with everything he 's going through . hope : well , of course . he 's got an awful lot on his mind . billie : yeah . hope : so , did you like it ? billie : like what ? hope : the necklace . billie : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you 're talking about . he did n't give me a necklace . hope : i 'm sorry . i just naturally assumed since you 'd seen him -- billie : steve got me a necklace ? hope : well , he had me -- yeah . yeah , he did . he wanted you to have something special . i 'm sorry if i ruined the surprise . billie : no , no , no , no , no , do n't worry about it . i promise i wo n't tell him that you told me . i 'm just -- i 'm thrilled that he thought of me . bo : it seems like wells is paying you a hell of a lot to be a mechanic . i mean , there 's got to be more to this than meets the eye . shawn d. : what can i say ? he knows that i 'm really good at what i do . he wants to keep me around . he offered me an incentive . bo : yeah , right . you know what ? i 'll make you a deal . i find out anything about this character , i 'll let you know . you see or hear anything suspicious at all , you let me know . sound fair ? shawn d. : yeah , whatever . i got to go . bo : hold on . couple more things . number one -- you hang on to your money .. you are one lucky dog . the insurance company -- they 're taking care of the fancy face . and number two -- victor asked me to give this to you . he did n't know where you were staying . shawn d. : i already told him . i do n't want anything from him . bo : shawn , he 's your grandfather . he 's trying to make up for what happened . just take a look , see what it is before you make up your mind . shawn d. : i 'll look at it later . bo : all right . shawn d. : i got to go . bo : okay . good talking with you . mimi : you 're lying . there 's no way in hell shawn would ever get an apartment with you . willow : believe whatever you want , but it 's true . he 's got a totally killer job with e.j . wells , and he wants a nice place for us to live , where claire can come visit on the weekends . mimi : claire ? are you kidding me ? i highly doubt that belle will want her child spending any time with someone so morally lacking , to put it kindly . willow : like you should talk about morals . did n't you lie to your own husband for months to keep him from finding out about his kid ? that is way worse than anything i 've ever done . i never purposely hurt anyone i care about . that includes shawn . patrick : hope you like roast beef . hope : i love it . mmm . i did n't realize how hungry i was until i just saw it . this looks great . thank you . patrick : you 're welcome . you know , i want to take care of you , especially since you have n't been doing such a good job of it yourself lately . hope : i 'm doing the best i can in the middle of a family crisis . patrick : i know you are , but you have to realize that 's not your family anymore , and we have a baby to think about here . hope : i think about the baby every minute . and as far as the brady 's no longer being my family , i think of them that way . i always will . that i ca n't help , patrick . patrick : you know , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to imply that you should stop caring about what happens to them any more than you can stop caring about what happens bo to . i did interrupt something tonight at the pub , did n't i ? hope : no , just reminiscing about old times with steve and kayla , that 's all . i mean , i do n't know . it kind of made me sentimental . patrick : sure there 's not something you want to tell me ? hope : hmm ? no , nothing to tell you . patrick : okay , well , we 're still going away , right ? hope : going away ? patrick : yeah , chicago , remember ? we were gon na get away from salem , just the two of us , spend some time together . you have n't changed your mind , have you ? mimi : let me tell you something about shawn , willow . in case you do n't already know , his heart belongs to one woman -- belle bblack . and it was knowing that deep down that drove me to do what i did , not that , that excuses it . it does n't . i 'm just telling you how it is . whatever power you have over shawn right now wo n't last , especially not once he 's back in claire 's life because then he 'll be back in belle 's life , too . and at that point , it will only be a matter of time before they 're back together . willow : well , we 'll see about that . mimi : yeah , we will . and you know , shawn might be enjoying the nightly acrobatics you 've been treating him to , but he 's way too smart to let you come between him and his daughter . and he 's too in love with belle to give a damn in the end what happens to you . eventually he 'll toss you out on the curb , just like everyone else has . steve : oh , sweetness . you were right . it happened . in the middle of all this craziness , i got my memory back .

haley : it could be a while . but if i find out -- once i find out anything , promise i 'll let you know , okay ? and i wanted to give you this . it 's -- it 's your mom 's engagement ring . they took it off her before her surgery , and i did n't -- i did n't see a wedding band on her or anything . jj : no . after the ceremony my dad told me that he had to run up to his room to get something , and it turns out that he was -- he was grabbing the wedding bands that he had specially made from this wreckage of a ship that he and my mom were once on . it 's a great story . you know , he said that , um , he was gon na put that ring on her finger as soon as he saw her . that did n't happen , and now -- haley : jj , it will happen , okay ?

rafe : nah , there was a laptop up there which appeared to be there to play music for the reception . jack : was there a flash drive in that laptop ? rafe : not that i saw , no . to be honest , there was nothing there that looked suspicious . hope agreed . jj : hope ? rafe : yeah , yeah , she was arriving just as jennifer fell . but she did n't see anything . she only heard -- she only heard jennifer scream . where is she , by the way ? i figured she 'd be here by now . jj : we have n't seen her . rafe : really ?

[ whack ] gabi : ohh ! [ breathing hard ] you really should not have done that . lani : oh , please . you 're not gon na blow up julie 's pacemaker now , off of one sucker punch , are you ? you are enjoying your power way too much to give it up now . jj : mom is going to love these rings , and she is going to love the story behind them even more . as soon as she 's settled into her room , you can tell her . hope : jack , jj , how 's jennifer ? oh , my god , no , do n't -- do n't tell me that -- jack : she 's still in surgery . hope : oh . thank god ... thank god . i wanted to be here sooner , but rafe kept questioning about if i 'd seen anything . jj : yeah , he told us you didn't . hope : did your mom say anything before she went into surgery ? jack : she tried . she was struggling , and i told her to conserve her energy . all that matters now is that she makes it through this . hope : absolutely . i have n't stopped praying . jack : i just -- i 've wasted so much time 'cause i was selfish . i would give anything for just a single moment of our time together . hope : i know she would too . jack : it 's been hours . we should have heard something by now . haley : i 'll go see what i can find out . jack : oh , how 's jennifer ? i mean , how did it go ? kayla : she pulled through the surgery , and we were able to stop the bleeding . jj : that 's great . jack : oh , thank you , kayla , thank you -- when can i see her ? when is she out of recovery ? kayla : i 'm afraid the surgery did n't go as well as we had planned . jack : but you said she made it through surgery . kayla : but she lapsed into a coma .

[ scene_break ] john : this is a private conversation . you know , the only reason i have put up with you is because of her . and in a couple of seconds , i 'm gon na forget all about that . and then you wo n't have to worry about following up on your restraining order because your jaw will be wired shut . [ inhales , exhales deeply ] no . no cameras in the penthouse . no listening surveillance systems in your chandelier . i 'm just concerned about you . and that 's the reason that i called tim . i wanted him to come over here to try to convince you not to go through with the divorce . so when you called me , i thought -- i was hopeful that you had changed your mind about the divorce , because i 'm convinced that alex north put that thought in your head to begin with . marlena : he did ... because he wanted to protect me . john : protect you from the man who loves you more than anyone else in this world ? marlena : he says he loves me , too . john : [ scoffs ] marlena : all i have to do is decide who i believe . it 's pretty confusing , john . john : i 'm not the one confusing you . i 'm just trying to show you the truth , and the truth is i still love you . marlena : i hope that 's true . and i hope alex is wrong and you 're not spying on me . [ scene_break ] alex : why are you smiling ? kate : obviously john showed you the door . i guess he 's making progress , huh ? alex : which means that you could lose him , and do n't tell me that 'll make you happy . your marriage to roman is over . you 've been trying to rekindle your relationship with john . kate : no . actually , i have n't . john and i were together when we thought roman and marlena were dead . but when they came back , then john belonged with marlena , and i belonged with roman . alex : well , it certainly did n't work out for you , now , did it ? tell me something , kate . why did you ask john to move in with you ? i mean , that speaks a lot . kate : because marlena had asked him to leave the penthouse , and he was angry , and he was upset , and it was a way to be there for each other during a difficult period in both of our lives . but whatever might have been for the two of us had to be over because he has marlena back . alex : he does n't have her back yet . kate : but she 's his wife , and he loves her more than anything . so no matter what you try to do to prevent it , she is going to get her memory back , and then they 're going to be together . so , why do n't you try being an adult and accept that the way that i have and get the hell out of marlena 's life ? [ scene_break ] nicole : so , this is not a date , then ? austin : i 'll tell you what . um , wow , this is awkward . uh , i 'll split the difference with you . it 's a date , but not a romantic one . nicole : whoo . there is hope for me yet . austin : oh , come on . we have to get to know each other again . we 're working together , and we just have to learn how each other 's minds work . nicole : and bodies , too . austin : what ? nicole : mind and body go hand in hand , so i have to know when you 're tired or upset , so i can see the look on your face , the way your body moves , the way your head hangs , the way you clench your fist or drop your shoulders , you know , so i know how to approach you . [ chuckles ] really , that 's all i meant , i promise . austin : [ clears throat ] nicole : austin , of course i want to get closer in every way . austin : sounds that way . nicole : you know , and if i am the girl you 're interested in ... we can just consider this part of our courtship . and if it 's another woman , like sami , i 'll just have to show you how wrong she is for you .

'cause maybe if i pray to god , he 'll answer my prayers . [ scene_break ] bo : how 's she doing ? steve : her breathing 's a little rough . hope : she seems awfully weak . steve : yeah , that 's partly because they got her on sedatives . she ca n't stay awake very long . hope : does she know what happened ? steve : yeah , her mind is fine . hope : thank god . bo : yeah , and thank you . knowing that the two of you have a future together -- that 's what 's keeping her going .

[ soft music ] nicole : i still do n't know why chloe called me to meet up with her . i mean , first i thought it was because she was actually gon na tell me who the father was , and then she saw you , and she lashed out . some things were said , and it got ugly . deimos : you chose me -- your loyalty to me over your friendship with her . when i asked you if you were coming , you did n't even hesitate -- just like you did n't hesitate bringing me with you . nicole : i was n't gon na keep you in the dark again . deimos : [ sighs ] then that tells me , more than anything , not only do you still care . there 's still a chance for us .

[ dramatic music ] from the first moment you met jennifer : baby , i get you wanting to spare gabi 's feelings . but you know better than anyone that keeping something from someone that you love is not gon na make it go away . it 's always gon na be there between you and gabi unless you just get it out . what are you thinking ? jj : that i wish that i was n't this type of guy . jennifer : what type of guy ? jj : a cheater . i 've done it twice now . jennifer : no , you listen to me . you stop this . i am not gon na let you beat yourself up , okay ? you need to focus on getting well right now , and once -- once you are well , i know that you and gabi are gon na work this out . you 're gon na figure it out . jj : maybe there 's nothing to work out . jennifer : what do you mean ? jj : just that ... maybe i just do n't deserve someone as great as gabi . chad : all right . for you . gabi : thank you . chad : um ... to new friends . vicky : cheers . gabi : cheers . brad : why do n't you two come and spend the weekend at the cape with us sometime soon ? chad : yeah , we , um -- we would love that . and we can celebrate you coming on board as a new investor in dimera enterprises . brad : about that . i 've been mulling over the figures we discussed earlier , and i 'm just not sure that the numbers add up . chad : it 's a huge deal . i understand you being a little cautious . gabi : oh , just so you know , chad is the most cautious guy i know , especially when it comes to business . vicky : wow . an image consultant and a cheerleader . brad : i 'm not saying it wo n't happen . chad : my father taught me early on that nothing worthwhile comes easy . now , i 'm confident the deal i 'm proposing will yield a very strong return . brad : i need more time to look over the figures . chad : okay , i completely understand that , but ... i have offered this package to other investors , so i just -- i would n't want you to miss out on the opportunity because you 've taken too much time . [ thomas crying over monitor ] gabi : oh , sorry . excuse me . chad : no , it 's -- it 's fine . eleanor 's with him . gabi : yeah , um , i think i 'm just gon na pop my head in . excuse me . vicky : so devoted -- to you and your son . chad : yes , i 'm a lucky man . vicky : yes , you are . brad : from what i understand , your father was n't so lucky . i heard a detective on the salem police force was recently arrested for his murder . that must 've been rather unsettling for you and your family . chad : it was a shock . but we 're dealing with it . vicky : brad , darling , could you get my shawl from the car ? i suddenly feel a chill . brad : i 'm not cold . stand over by the fire . vicky : you know my blood runs colder than yours . it 's on the backseat . chad : let me ... vicky : oh , thank you . chad : take those for you . vicky : come . let 's have a little talk . chad : all right , um ... i hope i 'm not putting too much , uh , pressure on your husband . vicky : well , pressure can sometimes be a good thing . regardless , i know that bradley likes you very much . chad : well , i look forward to doing business with him . vicky : i like you too , chad . a lot . chad : oh . [ chuckles nervously ] deimos : i never had a woman in my adult life i can trust . and i want that , nicole . i do . and i believe i can have it with you . nicole : since i 've proven myself , you mean ? deimos : i 'm not gon na deny that what you did today helped gain my trust . but even before that , i knew . i knew how lucky i was to find someone so beautiful , so kind , loyal , strong ... and independent . nicole : maybe too independent ? deimos : i would n't have it any other way . i 'm sorry , nicole . i 'm sorry for anything i said , anything that i did that may have hurt you . i believe that we were meant for each other . and if you would just give me the chance , i will prove it to you . chloe : well , do you remember , before deimos , when nicole was with daniel , how much she wanted to have a baby ? philip : i remember . but there was a problem . chloe : yeah , she ca n't carry to term . and it just killed me to see how heartbroken she and daniel were over that , and so i offered to be a surrogate . philip : and carry the baby for them . chloe : yeah , except it was n't that simple . when we went to the fertility clinic , the ivf did n't work the first time , and before we had a chance to try again , daniel died , and nicole just fell apart . and i thought that maybe if she could have a piece of daniel that he left behind that it would give her a reason to live , and so i tried again . philip : i 'm surprised she let you . chloe : well , she did n't know . i did n't want to tell her again in case it did n't work . i did n't want her to be heartbroken , so i just tried again on my own . i had all legal clearance . but then the fertility clinic said it did n't work again , and i just accepted that . philip : only now you 're saying the doctor was wrong ? no wonder you freaked out the day we got the results that showed deimos was n't the father . chloe : yeah , i finally realized that the only possible explanation was that this baby was nicole and daniel 's . and i 've so wanted to tell her , but everything 's been so horrible between us , and ... i do n't know . i used to think that she 'd be a wonderful mother , but now i do n't know . philip : well , you 're not seriously thinking of keeping this from nicole because of him ? chloe : i do n't want to . but i feel like i have to . i love this baby . i have a responsibility . philip : a responsibility ? nicole 's the mother . end of story . [ dramatic music ] [ soft dramatic music ] nicole : i ca n't say that i was n't warned . and chloe told me several times that if i stay with you , i 'll regret it . deimos : okay , can we finally just forget about chloe ? all right ? this is about you and me . nicole : god knows i have tried more than once to walk away from whatever this is between us . and every time , it did n't work . because even when i 'm not with you , i think about you . deimos : you need to trust what 's in your heart , nicole . just give me the chance to prove that i 'm worthy of you , and you will never regret it . chloe : if only nicole was n't so blind to deimos . philip : blind or not , it 's still her baby , chloe . chloe : biologically , yes . but it 's also daniel 's son and parker 's brother . so i feel even more obligated to do what 's best for this baby . philip : i hear everything you 're saying . but think about how you 'd feel if you were nicole . would n't you want to know ? chloe : i 'm not saying that i 'm never gon na tell her . but as long as she 's with deimos , i ca n't risk it . it 's not safe . which is why this has to stay a secret . please , please tell me you can keep it . philip : do you even have to ask ? chloe : thank you . philip : do you want to know why i 'm agreeing to something i think is wrong ? chloe : i 'm assuming because you agree that it 's a horrible idea for deimos to raise this baby . philip : it 's got nothing to do with deimos ... and everything to do with you and me . chloe : i do n't know what you mean . philip : when we were pretending to be a couple , at some point , it stopped being pretend for me . that 's when i realized , after everything that 's happened between us , good and bad ... i love you , chloe . chloe : i did n't expect this -- philip : you do n't have to say that you love me too or even that you do n't . i just needed to get it out there , and you need to let it sink in and ... just know that whatever happens , i got your back . chad : um , sorry . i think -- i think you 've had too much champagne . vicky : just high on you . chad : i 'm so -- mm , oh , that 's -- [ clears throat ] okay . [ chuckles nervously ] wow . um ... i 'm sorry . you 're , um -- you 're a very beautiful , uh , woman , vicky . but you 're married , and you 're married to a man that i want to do business with , so ... vicky : you 're wise to remember that . chad : i 'm sorry ? vicky : well , if you want to seal the deal with bradley , you need to do the same with me . chad : i 'm not sure i follow what you 're saying . vicky : then let me make it crystal clear . either you and i get to know each other better , or you find another investor . gabi : get off of him ! sorry , vicky . chad belongs to me . | jj was home from the hospital . jennifer asked him what he meant when he was apologizing at the hospital . nicole , chloe , and deimos were at the doctor 's office waiting for the paternity test results . jj tried to downplay what he said while he was in a coma , but jennifer did n't believe him . jj finally confessed that he cheated on gabi . jj explained when he cheated on gabi . nicole wanted chloe to tell her about the father of her baby . nicole reminded chloe that deimos wanted to be a father and that he 's changed . chloe wanted to know if nicole loved him . chloe tried to convince nicole that he has n't changed , but she did n't believe it . deimos found out that he 's not the father of chloe 's baby . deimos felt sorry for the baby and the father because chloe was n't going to let them spend time together . deimos asked nicole to go with him and she left the office with him . chloe called philip so he could meet her . |

[ scene_break ] mimi : i am so glad that i finally realized that you and i could have a future together . i mean , it took a while , but i just had to stop punishing myself first before i could find true happiness . shawn d. : yeah , well , we were in a tough spot there for awhile . i had just lost belle , and you lost ... what 's his name . uh ... uh , rex . mimi : [ laughs ] shawn d. : that was when you found out that you could n't have kids , but it did n't matter . we found each other . then we fell in love . then we got married . mimi : i ca n't believe that i thought the only way i could have a real family is if i gave birth to my kids . i mean , my mom gave birth to us , but our family was n't exactly ideal , was it ? i mean , it 's nothing like what we have now . i mean , our family is just so totally real . shawn d. : yeah . i think it 's because we have so much love to give . mimi : yes , and they have so much love to give us . shawn d. : mm - hmm . mimi : shawn ... shawn d. : hmm ? mimi : i know that we said we 'd stop at four -- shawn d. : well , hey , no , i would be happy if we adopted 10 . we just might need to move out of the loft . mimi : i love you so much . you know , when i think about what our kids ' lives would be like if they had n't found us and what ours would be like ... we 're just all so blessed . shawn d. : yes . yes , we are . mimi : you know , never did i think i 'd ever hear anyone say , `` your daughter takes after you . `` shawn d. : but she does . she ... is such a little mother . mimi : you know what she said to me the other day ? she said that she wants to have 10 kids when she grows up . shawn d. : 10 . wow , that 's a lot of grandkids . but i love grandkids . i would love to have them . mimi : that 's supposed to be my line . [ laughs ] shawn d. : well , you know , we might have to count on our little girl to carry on the name for awhile 'cause i do n't think the twins are gon na settle down for a long time , not if they follow through on half the stuff they 're telling us about , like joining the merchant marine and she wants to be a race - car driver and then join the peace corps . mimi : i wonder if they have any idea that our dreams for their future are even wilder than theirs . and even the baby , i swear , she 's just the best . she 's the smartest , most alert , the sweetest -- shawn d. : you know , i think you say that about all our kids . mimi : well , that 's 'cause it 's true every time . [ chuckles ] shawn d. : you want to know why that is ? mimi : because we 're very lucky . shawn d. : that too , but ... i think it 's because we 've been there for them every step of the way . i love you . and i thank god every day that we 're together . mary : shh ... mimi : your baby is beautiful . mary : [ laughs ] yes . i was so blessed to be allowed to have him as my son . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : you are not a terrible person , okay ? i think all this self - doubt and the up - and - down emotions is because of the postpartum depression . belle : i do n't know . i think everyone 's just using that as an excuse to avoid seeing who i really am . shawn d. : no , that 's not true . who you really are -- you are a sweet , very sensitive , caring , loving person -- belle : shawn , stop it . you 're just saying that because you still love me and you do n't want to see my faults . shawn d. : i do still love you , but first and foremost , you are my friend , okay ? and i want to help you through this tough time . belle : this should n't be a tough time . i am so blessed to have a beautiful , healthy baby and a loving husband . shawn d. : who , not too long ago , you were not sure you wanted to spend the rest of your life with , who he , himself , has just gone through a very traumatic experience . the two of you together have now had a baby that you were n't expecting . here , come here . i want you to sit down and relax , okay ? you know , society puts , like , all these pressures on mothers to love their baby at first sight , and i just do n't know how that 's possible , 'cause you do n't even know them yet , right ? the only thing you do know is that your life has changed overnight . they sleep all the time . they do n't even sleep . they cry and they eat and they make terrible messes all day long . and they do n't even smile much . you know , they take and they take and they do n't have the ability to give back . but , you know , that changes in time , you know ? they will learn to love you , and you will learn to love being a mom . belle : i want to love being a mom now . shawn d. : i know you do . i know you do . and you will . you 're gon na have a long , happy life with your daughter and your husband . belle : i hope you 're right . shawn d. : ah , well , i promise you i am . belle : thank you . thank you for wishing the best for all of us . shawn d. : of course i do . belle : i just know how much i 've hurt you . shawn d. : you know what ? let 's -- i -- i do n't want to get into that right now . belle : no , i understand . i just want you to know that i want you to find happiness , too . shawn d. : really ? belle : [ sighs ] you sound surprised . shawn d. : well , i am , a little bit . just before you seemed dead set against me and mimi being together . um , then you acted very relieved when i told you that she did n't want to be with me because she can not have children . belle : i was relieved , and i still am . shawn d. : yeah ? well , i thought you said that you wanted me to be happy . belle : i do . but i 'm just afraid that if you and mimi wind up together , i could lose you forever . and i ca n't live without you . [ scene_break ] alex : i 'm not working for the dimera 's or anyone else . i 'm sure if you asked john , he would tell you . he 's had me thoroughly checked out . my life is an open book . let 's see .... that 's it . data search end -- let 's see what turns up . i do n't know if i 'm gon na be able to find it , but if i do find what i 'm looking for , most of my questions will be answered . kate : i 'm wondering if this is n't just another game you 're playing . alex : i do n't play games . i 'm merely doing what you suggested and being completely honest . i just wish you 'd do the same . [ scene_break ] marlena : john -- [ sighs ] i ca n't believe that alex is manipulating me . john : but he has ... because before he started brainwashing you , you never doubted our love . it was n't until after you had amnesia and he came into your life . marlena : john , i was pregnant with roman 's child before alex ever came on the scene . when i found out that i was pregnant , i did n't tell you . if i -- if i loved you so much , why would i keep that a secret ? ( theme music playing ) marlena : john , do -- do you think i did n't tell you about the pregnancy because i 'm a dishonest person ? john : no . most honest person i know . marlena : well , then , was it because i was afraid you would n't understand , or was i maybe a little bit in love with roman ? john : i do n't know . it was an incredibly awkward situation . kate and i had just gotten engaged the day that you and roman came home . and even though we broke it off , i think the longer that you took to tell us , the more difficult it became , so you kept it to yourself . and , yeah , maybe you thought that i would n't understand . maybe you were right . marlena : i can see how awful that must have been for you and how painful it was , but it does not explain my behavior . john : i can only assume that you were feeling guilty . i mean , breaking that kind of news ca n't be easy . marlena : yeah . maybe it was something else . john : what 's that ? marlena : maybe i was a little afraid that you loved kate more than you loved me . [ scene_break ] kate : [ sighs ] and what exactly is it that you think i should be honest about ? alex : your feelings for john . it 's obvious that you 're still in love with him , that you still have some very wonderful memories of your time together . kate : oh ... wow . you really do think that you know everything , do n't you ? alex : i 'm a psychiatrist . it 's my business to be able to read people ... to interpret their body language , to know what they 're thinking , what they 're feeling . for instance , the way that you fold your arms , pretending to be relaxed , your occasional glance to john , marlena , the forced smile of assurance . the body does n't lie , kate . i can see that you want to be with john . admit it -- you miss feeling his arms around you . you miss feeling his body next to yours . kate : well , i hate to give you the bad news , but you 've been reading my body all wrong , which means you are what john and i suspected all along . alex : what is that ? kate : a lousy psychiatrist . alex : oh ... mm ... well , hopefully , you 're about to find out otherwise . kate : no , i do n't think so . john and marlena love each other , and i would never come between them . alex : you did once ... without any regret . come on , kate , it 's so unlike you to be noble . why do n't you just give it up and become my ally ? kate : [ scoffs ] why would i do something like that ? alex : because if this computer gives me what i 'm looking for , i will be with marlena , you can be with john . come on -- do n't tell me you 're not tempted . kate : [ gasping ] alex : like i said , kate , the body does n't lie . you were obviously just reliving a very nice memory . so what do you say ? will you be my ally ? [ scene_break ] shawn d. : you 're not talking about a future for the two of us . belle : no , no . shawn d. : no , i did n't think so . look , you 're never gon na lose me from your life , okay ? belle : but if you and mimi are together ... shawn d. : i do n't see how my being with mimi has anything to do with you and i being friends . belle : well , philip 's the one that made me see it first . i mean , with how mimi feels about me -- she still blames me for rex leaving her . and if the two of you are gon na be together , i 'm sure she does n't want to hang out with philip and me . shawn d. : no , that 's not gon na happen . i would never let it happen . belle : you know what ? it 's not just that mimi has a hard time with me . it 's claire , too , because she ca n't have any kids of her own . maybe it was a mistake to ask her to be the godmother . shawn d. : no , no . it was n't a mistake . just -- it 's gon na be all right . just give that situation some time . belle : because i would really , really hate for you to have to choose between mimi and me . and i would hate for claire to lose both of her godparents . and i could n't stand to lose you as a friend . it 's really important to all of us that you 're a part of our lives . and you always will be , wo n't you ? shawn d. : yes , of course i will . belle : okay , because i do n't think i can imagine a life without you in it . shawn d. : and i could n't imagine my life without you in it . but you have to realize that , eventually , there will be another woman , even if it 's not mimi . belle : of course there will . shawn d. : out of all the women in my life right now , including my mom , you know me the best . you know that eventually i want to get married and start a family with the woman that i love . belle : i know . i just always thought that woman would be me . shawn d. : yeah , but it ca n't be ... not anymore . belle : maybe it 's time for me to be completely honest with you about how i feel . i want you to be happy . i -- i truly do . but i just do n't think that i can stand the thought of seeing you spend the rest of your life with anyone but me . [ scene_break ] mimi : do you think i can really have that kind of happy future that you showed me ? mary : would i have shown it to you if i did n't ? but you are the only one that can ensure it , or you can continue to deny yourself and make sure it never happens . mimi : i just wish i could go back and change what i did . mary : i 'm sorry , but there are no do - overs in life . thankfully , there are second chances . so you just have to leave what happened behind you , learn from it , and move on . mimi : i 've always tried to be a good person . i just made that one horrible mistake . mary : i know . shh ... and so does god . and he forgives you , miriam . mimi : are you sure ? mary : of course -- that 's what he does . if god did n't forgive sin , heaven would be a pretty empty place . now , all that remains is for you to forgive yourself . do you think you can do that ? [ scene_break ] kate : no . no , i wo n't be your ally . i wo n't help you plot just to get john back . yes , we were intimate because we thought roman and marlena were dead . and we grieved for months and months , and we consoled each other . but john believed that marlena was out of his life . but i knew she would always be a part of his heart . but still , we clung to each other . we clung to each other because that 's all we had . alex : i heard john would n't have made it through without you . kate : i helped him through a very difficult time . alex : and that was enough for you because you loved him so much . but i still find it a little impossible to believe that the two of you just all of a sudden looked at each other and said , `` oops . they 're back . here 's your engagement ring . goodbye . `` kate : i never said that it was an easy thing to break off with him . alex : well , i 'm glad that you are able to be there for him again . and john 's heart need n't be broken for long . if i accomplish what i 'm after , if i get the information that i am waiting for , then marlena will no longer be with john , even if she gets her memory back . and john will be free for you . and we can all live happily ever after . [ scene_break ] marlena : john , this is just so frustrating for me , and maybe i should n't be trying to work it out right now , but ... you and kate were living together . and you got engaged . maybe i was a little bit afraid that -- that you loved her and that you wanted her ... more than you wanted me . john : no , you had to know . you always knew that you were my life . and kate and i got together because we thought that you were dead . marlena : you got together . you know , roman and i were n't even gone that long . i just -- i do n't know that people get engaged just because they got together . john ... were you in love with kate ? [ scene_break ] belle : i ca n't even believe i 'm saying this . how could i be so selfish ? shawn d. : no , you 're just being honest . come on , let 's face it . you and i ai n't getting out of this life without always loving a part of each other . belle : i do n't think anyone could love me the way i am now . shawn d. : stop saying that , okay ? philip loves you , and claire loves you .. belle : and you ? shawn d. : you know how i feel . belle : i should n't be asking you these questions . i 'm sorry . i do n't want you to feel sorry for me . shawn d. : no , i do n't . you are gon na have a wonderful life . you 're gon na be okay . belle : so are you . shawn d. : yeah . yeah . i think so . you know , for awhile there , i was n't sure , but now i think i 'll be fine . belle : shawn ... what i said earlier -- i meant it , but i did n't . it 's just really hard for me . it 's really hard for me . you know , if i ca n't be with you , i have to let you go . it 's my decision , and i have to live with it as much as you do . but i do n't want you to be alone . shawn d. : i wo n't be . you know , for awhile , i thought things were gon na work out with mimi , but even if they do n't -- belle : come on , you know her as well as i do . she 's made up her mind . she 's never gon na change it . shawn d. : yeah . well , she has made her decision . even though i do n't agree with it , i know i have to accept it . just like i have to accept the fact that you and i will never be together . [ scene_break ] mimi : i guess i 've learned that before i can ask for forgiveness , then i have to be truly sorry . and to be truly sorry requires humility beyond any low point i 've ever felt . and i feel that now . mary : what else ? mimi : that if i am repentant but do n't believe in or accept god 's forgiveness , then it 's like i 've decided my decision is more important than his . and i have to love myself before i can expect anyone else to love me , right ? before i can do anything useful with my life .. and i 'm getting there . thank you . thank you so much . mary : so do you think you can forgive yourself now ? mimi : yes . mary : then do it . just do it . mimi : was that a dream or ... thank you ... for helping me realize that i can forgive myself ... and that maybe i will find happiness with shawn after all .

[ scene_break ] john : if you want me to say i cared about you too , kristen ... you know that i did . it 's just that ... when you started hurting people that i loved , it -- kristen : no , i understand . of course . i knew coming back to salem would be incredibly hard . but i never really deluded myself into thinking that i could make things right again , but ... i guess -- i guess i was looking for -- my shrink calls it closure . does marlena say that ? she must , right ? john : yeah . kristen : you know , marlena never really liked me ... let alone loved me . so i guess i did n't really expect her to accept my olive branch . but you ... john ... just because of everything we meant to each other or ... at least what you meant to me ... i just ca n't stand it that you hate me . but i guess if that 's the way it has to be , huh ? john : i 'm gon na try to find some blankets . i have a feeling it 's gon na be a cold night .

[ knock on door ] eli : brady , got your call . rafe : what 's going on , brady ? brady : well , i have some information on who killed my uncle . rafe : you know who killed deimos ? brady : i do . you 're looking at her . eve : what are you talking about ? are you insane ? rafe : all right , look , brady , we do n't have time to mess around here . brady : really ? i mean , rafe , you 've been working on this case for months now looking for deimos 's killer . are you gon na throw away your biggest lead ? eli : maybe we should hear him out . rafe : why would eve kill deimos ? eve : i didn't . what the hell is wrong with you , brady ? brady : she murdered him because she married him . rafe : what ? brady : oh , yeah . meet the widow kiriakis . she inherited everything he had , and i would consider that a motive . would n't you ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] claire : so , the new song that i posted is blowing up on youtube , on twitter . seriously , look at all these likes . theo : yeah . claire : look . i 'm ahead of `` alligator stops roller coaster in florida . `` is n't this great ? theo : yeah , not for the people on the roller coaster . claire : oh , my god , no , this is , like , the most followers i 've ever had , theo . really , like , the last time i posted , i got maybe , like , two new followers , and one of them was my mom , so , like , that does n't even count , but this might just be the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me . i mean , except for dating you , of course , but still , i just -- i do n't know . i ca n't believe this . can you ? theo : i mean , i 'm not that surprised . claire : you 're not ? theo : no , i 've heard your songs , i know it 's bomb . claire : this is the best day ever . theo , thank you so much for believing in me . and you stood by me through everything , and i would not be here without you , so thank you so much . theo : i know you wouldn't . claire : [ chuckles ] what do you mean ? theo : i mean , i 'm the reason you got all those followers . rafe : you married deimos ? when did this happen ? brady : months ago . she kept it a secret the whole time . eve : you know , i can speak for myself , brady . thank you very much . but actually i 'm not gon na say a word until i have an attorney present . brady : well , that 's fine . i 'll just fill in the blanks for you and do you a favor . she was at her husband 's grave the other night while my grandfather and i were trying to bury his ashes . rafe : eve , is this true ? brady : nobody knew about it . he never mentioned it to anyone . eli : i thought deimos was in love with nicole walker . brady : he was , he was , but he lost her , and when he found out about that , the gold digger that she is , she swooped right in , took advantage of the situation , and got everything that she wanted . rafe : this is crazy . brady : she even convinced him to elope . is n't that right ? and she managed to stay away from salem long enough until the murder case went cold . she was hoping to get away with it and then just quietly collect her paycheck . eve : this is a bunch of lies , all right ? i did not murder my husband . brady : well , unfortunately , as i told the officers when i called them , i have some proof . copd makes it hard to breathe . chad : i didn't ... hmm . kate never mentioned that to me . gabi : well , it literally happened this morning , so ... abigail : so have you accepted the job ? gabi : no . no , i have n't , no , i haven't . actually , i have some concerns . you know what ? maybe i could talk to you guys about it , but i just want you to know that i will turn down this offer if either one of you has a problem with it . kayla : um ... why is the board so interested in knowing who the donor is ? kate : well , i think they would like to show their appreciation in some way -- maybe a plaque on the new patients ' lounge . kayla : well , that 's very thoughtful of them , but i think that the donor would like to remain anonymous . kate : well , perhaps you could ask just to be sure . kayla : no , trust me . i 'm -- i 'm sure . kate : kayla , you and i have known each other for a while , and i would like to think if there was something about where this money came from that i should know , that you would share that with me . especially if it would put the hospital in a bad light . because neither of us would want that , would we ? kayla : no , we wouldn't . kate : if i 'm going to go back to the board with an explanation , i would at least like to know what i 'm dealing with . i have no problem keeping the donor 's identity confidential , if that 's what you 're worried about . kayla : i think that some people would not feel comfortable about where the money came from . the donor was tripp dalton , my stepson . he inherited the money from his mother , ava vitali . kate : wow . you knowingly let the hospital accept mob money . tripp : it 's claire . i was n't -- what did you say , mooning over her ? who even says that anymore ? steve : yeah . claire . okay . tripp : it 's not like that , you know ? her new song is trending , and this is her dream , so i 'm proud of her . steve : good for claire . so how about you ? how 's the new job going ? tripp : not bad . tips are way better than i thought they would be . hours are decent . steve : glad to hear it . tripp : it 's not like i want to be waiting tables for the rest of my life , though . steve : i understand that . still , i 'm proud of you , son . you went out and got yourself a job . you 're earning enough to pay the rent . you did that all on your own . tripp : not exactly all on my own . i mean , claire hooked me up with the job , and actually the place to live too . steve : sounds like you guys are pretty close . tripp : yeah , yeah , but we 're just friends . you know , and besides , she 's got a boyfriend , so , yeah . [ clears throat ] claire : what do you mean you 're the reason that i got all these followers ? did you do some sort of weird hacky - techie thing to make my numbers go through the roof , or ... theo : no , no , of course not . no . claire : okay . so what 'd you do ? theo : i bought you some followers . claire : wait , i 'm ... sorry , what ? theo : yeah , no . i found this company that sells followers , and it 's totally legit . you know , they 're real influencers . is n't that cool ? claire : are you kidding me ? theo : no , i spent a whole check on it . i thought this would make you happy . claire : no . theo : no ? why ? i thought this was what you wanted more than anything . claire : oh , my god , are you serious ? no , no . this is not what i wanted -- not this way . theo : are you mad ? claire : yes , theo . i 'm furious . eve : you ca n't prove anything , brady , because none of it 's true . brady : let me take you guys back to the night of the martin house party . remember the party where you were welcomed to salem ? eve : look , i was n't there . i was in new york , thank you very much . brady : there were a ton of people at that party , and anybody could have snuck in and murdered deimos and snuck out . as a matter of fact , deimos himself snuck into that party and drugged everybody . eve : really ? well , why would i kill my own husband in a house full of people , brady ? brady : well , somebody did . eve : well , it was n't me , because i was n't there . brady : well , the evidence suggests otherwise . you gentlemen are familiar with the amulet ? the amulet that sonny kiriakis was wearing that night at the party ? do you also know that he had a hostile confrontation with deimos , wherein which deimos took the amulet from sonny ? eli : brady , what does this have to do with eve ? eve : absolutely nothing . brady : when deimos 's body was found downstairs , there was no amulet on his body . rafe : whoever took the amulet is likely the same person that killed deimos . eve : see ? there you have it . i 've never even seen the damn amulet . brady : ooh . she 's lying . kayla : you know , i 'm sorry , kate , but i find it a bit hypocritical that you , of all people , would have a reaction like that . kate : i 'm not judging anyone personally . i 'm just saying , as a board member , i do n't want to have to deal with any kind of scandal or anything that would compromise the hospital . kayla : i understand that , and i felt the same way at first . kate : okay . so what changed your mind ? kayla : this has been a very difficult situation for tripp . i mean , he inherited all that money from his mother . i mean , most kids his age would have blown it all on fancy cars and material things , but to our surprise , he had no interest in that . instead , he said he wanted to give all the money away to a worthy cause . so he came to me and asked if he could donate it to the hospital . and at first , like i said , i had a negative reaction . but then the more i thought about it , i realized what good it would do . tripp knew that some people might feel uncomfortable about where the money came from , because he did himself . so he decided to donate that money anonymously , and he believed that that would be the end of it . kate : well , i guess we should n't judge the son by his mother 's sins , should we ? i mean , that was a very generous and forgiving thing he did . for a young man to just hand over his entire fortune to a place where his mother was murdered -- by your own son -- he 's almost saintly . kayla : trust me . tripp is no saint . theo : tripp , i thought you were at work . tripp : i just forgot my phone here , which i will grab , and i 'll get out of here . nice to meet you . kate : ah , it 's a pleasure . well , that was unfortunate . you know him better than i do . is he going to feel the need to share what he overheard ? theo : well , tripp 's done some pretty bad stuff himself . kate : meaning ? theo : meaning he 's in no position to judge . kate : just what do you mean by that ? steve : so if you do n't want to wait tables for the rest of your life , what do you want to do ? have you given it any thought ? tripp : some , yeah . not really sure , though , yet . steve : you know , you can always come to work with me . you know , learn the ropes of the p.i . trade . i could teach you . it 's worked out pretty well for john and his son . tripp : right , yeah . well , you know , i might take you up on that sometime . steve : you do n't sound very stoked about it . tripp : it 's just , i keep thinking of how much i screwed up at university hospital . makes me madder every time i think about it , but it 's not just because of how far i went off the deep end or how much i hurt kayla . i guess i actually really liked the work . kind of even felt like i was good at it . but i screwed up . big time . but i guess it 's pointless to look back now . claire : how can you not know why i 'm upset ? theo : because you did n't tell me . claire : are you kidding ? are you kidding me ? theo : no . claire , i was trying to do something nice for you . i was trying to help you out . claire : oh , and you thought that this would do it ? no , this is so shady , theo . they only fake like my song because they 're getting paid , so how is that supposed to help me ? theo : because your numbers are up . that 's a good thing , is n't it ? claire , once they see how awesome you are , then they 'll start liking you for real , and then they might even tell their friends about you . claire : god , i can not believe that you did this . theo : some of them could become your real fans , and then your career could take off . who cares how it gets started ? claire : i care how it gets started . i do , and so do record producers , okay ? they know that a spike in numbers like this is phony , and it 's desperate . this is a freaking disaster . theo : i do n't understand . i thought that you would be thanking me , you 'd be happy . claire : no . you do n't understand . you do n't understand anything . god , sometimes i feel like you just do n't know me at all . theo : are you kidding ? of course i know you . i love you , claire . and can we please have a conversation without yelling ? claire : okay , no . no , we can't . i 'm done . i have to get to work . theo : okay , well , remember , we have plans tonight . claire : okay , whatever . i 'll just meet you there , okay ? maybe . gabi : i told kate that i would not even consider this job offer if it meant that i 'd be working every single day with , you know , dimera , and she assured me that it would n't be like that -- that our companies would be under the same umbrella , but i would not have to work , you know , every single day , and abigail , i did n't even know you were gon na be working there until now . chad : well , if she 's gon na be in charge of p.r . for the entire company , then you guys will be working closely . gabi : if you want me to turn kate down , i will do that , no matter what . abigail : gabi , stop , come on . i 'm not gon na have you pass up an opportunity like this because of me . but , i do n't know , maybe we should talk about it . gabi : okay , sure , yeah . abigail : well , what are you doing tonight ? do you want to have dinner ? gabi : actually , tonight 's not good . i have a date with eli , so ... eve : [ laughs ] why would i lie about something like that ? brady : because the amulet proves that you married deimos for the money . eve : you 're the one that 's lying , brady ! it 's you . i do n't have the damn amulet , all right ? rafe : brady seems awfully convinced that you do . eve : well , it 's speculation , rafe . eli : brady ? brady : i think once you hear the rest of the story , you 'll see things more clearly . eve : oh , for pete 's sake . brady : eve showed up here completely out of the blue the other day , and she insisted on moving in against all of our objections . grandad and i wanted to throw her ass out , but maggie , being the nice person that she is , she said no , stay for the night . eve : no , because i have a right to be here . i have every right to be here , you guys . brady : my grandfather asked her to leave this morning . you can see how well that went over . so i asked henderson while she was in the shower to go upstairs and throw her stuff out on the lawn . excuse me . henderson , will you come in here for a minute , please ? henderson : what is it , sir ? brady : will you kindly tell everybody here what you shared with me about what you found in eve 's room ? henderson : well , i was simply following master brady 's instructions when i saw that amulet in mrs . kiriakis 's open bag on the bed . eve : what ? what the hell are you talking about ? henderson : that big bag of yours . i recognized the amulet immediately after all the fuss that was made when master sonny was in jail . eve : okay , all right . this is completely ridiculous , you guys . every woman knows exactly what 's in her purse at all times , and i 'm gon na show you . i have a wallet . wallet , makeup , sunglasses , and ... [ dramatic music ] kayla : you know , i 'm sorry . i should n't have said that . i mean , everyone knows that tripp and i have had issues . kate : well , i mean , that 's understandable . i mean , your husband has a son by another woman . kayla : yeah . that was difficult for me to accept at first , especially because the woman was ava vitali , who i , as you know , have had a very painful history with . but tripp is a good kid , and he has had a tough life himself . kate : mm , but the two of you get along now , right ? kayla : well , we 're trying . we 're taking it a day at a time . but listen . if you think that the board would be more comfortable giving tripp back his donation , i would be happy to help him find another worthy cause . kate : no , no , we do n't need to do that . i 'll just tell the board that the donor wishes to remain anonymous , and we 'll call it an anonymous donation . let 's leave it at that . thank you . kayla : right . [ door closes ] [ sighs ] steve : tripp , listen . what happened at the hospital with you and kayla , you acknowledged that it was wrong . you expressed your regrets more than once . now it 's time to stop beating yourself up about it . okay ? you know , kayla told me the two of you had a nice talk the other day . so things are going better there ? tripp : yeah . yeah , we 're getting better . i still ca n't go back to that hospital , though . i could n't put kayla in that position . steve : well , you do n't have to be at university hospital to work in medicine . plenty of hospitals all over the country . tripp : that 's true . steve : so if you decide to be a doctor , i 'd support that decision . and i 'm sure kayla would too . of course , we 'd hate to see you leave salem if it came to that . tripp : yeah , i would too . this place is starting to grow on me . claire , what 's wrong ? claire : hey . tripp : what 's going on ? that new song you dropped is blowing up . you should be celebrating . claire : no , i just want to scream . steve : i 'll let you two talk . tripp : yeah , see you later . steve : see you later . claire : bye . ugh ! [ sighs ] [ phone ringing ] oh , what a surprise , it 's theo . tripp : oh , you can take that . i need to get back -- claire : ignore . no , theo carver is the last person that i want to talk to right now . eve : listen , no , this was not here before , you guys . i have never seen this before . brady : then how did it get in your purse ? eve : i do n't know , brady . he probably planted it . henderson : i beg your pardon . that thing is cursed . bad luck comes to anyone who touches it . brady : check it for prints . i 'm sure you 're not gon na find henderson 's . eve : what do you mean it 's cursed ? rafe : all right , why do n't we just all settle down , okay ? eve : no , i 'm not gon na settle down . you set this up , did n't you ? you did every bit of this . brady : now you take it easy . settle down . eve : no , i know that you 're upset , brady , that i have controlling rights to basic black now , but for you to stoop so low as to frame me for my husband 's murder -- do n't you remember how good i was to theresa ? and tate ? when theresa disappeared , i took care of your son . rafe : hold on a second . what is this about basic black ? eve : brady , he 's just bitter because my husband outsmarted him and victor . when they were n't looking , deimos came in and got his hands on the controlling interest of basic black , and it 's mine now , because he left it to me after he died . do n't you see what 's happening here ? brady is trying to frame me for my husband 's murder to get me out of the company and out of their lives . rafe : brady , any truth to this ? mother nature brady : yes , it 's true . she has taken control of basic black , and my grandfather and i , we are not happy about it . eve : there , you see ? brady : but i 'm not trying to frame anyone here today . eve : really ? rafe : would you let him finish ? brady : the only reason that i sent henderson up there to get her stuff and to throw it out on the lawn is because i did n't want her here . i did n't want her giving my grandfather a heart attack . and that 's when henderson found the amulet , as he told you . i did n't know the amulet was up there , and that 's the end of the story . eve : oh , that 's the end of the story , really ? you wrote the story , brady . you set this whole thing up . brady : the only reason i called you gentlemen over here today is because i finally want to put my great uncle 's murder case behind us and put this killer behind bars where she belongs . eve : this is such a crock . you hated deimos . you hated deimos , and you need to admit it right now . rafe : all right , hold on . brady : excuse me , my family has been going through hell for the past couple months . sonny was sitting in jail . he could have gone to prison for a long time because of a crime that you committed . eve : oh , please . brady : when i found out there was a murderer living under my roof , you 're damned right i called the cops . if i 'm guilty of anything , it 's for wanting justice , eve . abigail : eli , huh ? so are you guys officially -- are you dating again ? gabi : yes , we are seeing each other , but we 're taking things slow . abigail : well , i have n't really gotten to spend very much time with him , but he seems like a really nice guy . gabi : he 's great , and he 's terrific with ariana . i just wish she 'd get along better with rafe . chad : what , they do n't get along ? gabi : well , i told rafe over and over , `` look , eli saved my life . `` if he would have done things differently , who knows what would have happened ? abigail : well , i 'm sure your brother 's gon na come around . gabi : we 'll find out soon enough , 'cause they are now partners in the department . eli : rafe , i think we can see where this is headed . we should get a warrant . rafe : no , no , no , no . we are not gon na waste time on that . eve could bolt . let me tell you something . i 've been working on this case for months , and this is the closest that i have come . i am not letting this slip through our fingers . brady : you really did n't think any of this through , did you ? eve : shut up . i 'll kill you for this . brady : you 'll kill me ? eve : i 'll kill you for this ! brady : do n't kill me . she 's at it again . she 's gon na kill somebody . ( avo ) if you 've been struggling with belly pain chad : so you do n't know if you 're gon na take the job yet ? gabi : we 'll see . i mean , i still have other reservations . chad : yeah ? gabi : yeah , i mean , i heard that the dimera enterprise was having problems lately -- possible sabotage , that the last acquisitions have fallen through . chad : i would n't let that influence your decision . everything 's fine . gabi : right , yeah , that 's what kate told me . but i still do have other things to think about . so we need to get together for that dinner , right ? let 's stay in touch . abigail : sounds good . gabi : okay , well , talk to you guys soon . chad : we ca n't let her get wind of what 's going on . abigail : have you heard anything from kate about what 's going on with theo ? chad : nope . i think it 's time we talked to theo directly . claire : this is a freaking disaster . theo : i do n't understand . i thought that you would be thanking me . you 'd be happy . claire : no . you do n't understand . you do n't understand anything . god , sometimes i feel like you just do n't know me at all . theo : [ sighs ] [ phone beeps , line trilling ] [ line beeps ] look , claire , i know you probably hate me right now , but i swear i 'm gon na fix it . okay ? i 'm gon na do everything i can to make it right . claire : so he bought me followers . i mean , really , like , who does that ? tripp : yeah , i can see why you 're upset . claire : i just wish that he understood things the way that you do . 'cause even after i tried explaining it to him , he still did n't get why i was upset . tripp : i mean , go easy on the guy . he was just trying to help . claire : yeah , well , it totally backfired . i was so excited . i saw my numbers go up , and i thought , `` oh , my god . all my hard work is finally paying off . `` but no . no , it 's all just one big , fat lie . tripp : well , i mean , who knows ? maybe some of these followers will turn into legit fans , you know , like theo said . claire : i do n't know . i highly doubt it . tripp : i don't . i mean , it happened to me . i want to donate my money -- the entire vitali inheritance -- to salem university hospital . steve : think of how much good that money could do , kayla . kayla : i appreciate the offer , tripp , but there 's no way in hell i 'm going to accept it . steve : mmm . something sweet for my sweetness . kayla : oh , what a nice surprise . lemon poppyseed . my favorite , yeah . steve : mm - hmm , your favorite . yeah , i was at the square . i thought i 'd swing by the cafe . kayla : ah , was tripp working ? steve : yeah , actually ... he was on his break . kayla : oh . steve : and we had a very interesting talk . kayla : about what ? steve : well , apparently he 's still thinking about going into medicine someday . kayla : no kidding ? steve : of course , he knows he could never come back here . kayla : well , i had a very interesting conversation myself today about tripp with kate . i mean , it did n't start out about him , but that 's how it ended . steve : how so ? kayla : well , evidently , the board members want to know who the anonymous donor is . steve : and you told her it was tripp ? kayla : relax . no , kate agreed ... steve : baby . kayla : that she would n't divulge the identity . and i certainly did n't say anything incriminating . eve : wait a minute . what are you writing ? that was a figure of speech . eli : i 'm just taking a few notes , that 's all . rafe : okay . i think we 're good to go . we 've got the amulet , which we will dust for fingerprints . eve : well , of course you 're gon na find mine , rafe , because i just pulled it out of my bag , but i 'm sure brady wiped his clean because he knew that he was gon na set me up for murder . rafe : now who sounds ridiculous ? eve : okay , you know what ? you have no right to detain me . i have a company to run , so i 'm out of here , i 'm gone . rafe : no , i 'm sorry about that . actually you 're not . we need to bring you down to headquarters . eve : you 're serious ? rafe : yeah . the amulet is a key piece of evidence in a murder investigation . we need to bring you down for questioning . eve : you are a son of a bitch ! and you 're not gon na get away with this . i saw the change in rich when we moved into the new house . kayla : so kate agreed that she would tell the board that the donor wanted to remain anonymous , and that was that . steve : well , that 's a relief . kayla : i know , believe me . initially , i was a little bit panicked . i mean , if the board found out , or anybody , for that matter , that tripp was behind those incidents that almost cost me my medical license , i mean , he would be in a lot of trouble . steve : and you could lose your job . claire : what do you mean it happened to you ? tripp : i mean the only reason i listened to your stuff in the first place was because you gave me that mp3 player with all your songs on it . i would have never listened to your stuff if it was n't for that . and then i heard it and fell in love with it . i imagine a lot of other people will too . claire : my god . you really liked it ? tripp : i did , yeah . claire : tripp , thank you so much . aw . you 're the best . thank you . well , i 'll see you later . [ knock on door ] theo : come in , it 's open . chad : what 's going on ? working hard ? theo : yep , i 'm just trying to get people to unfollow claire on social media . abigail : do n't you mean follow ? theo : no , i mean unfollow . chad : why would you do that ? theo : because we had a fight and she 's mad at me . i 'm trying to fix it . chad : okay . you want to talk about it ? theo : no , and what did you guys really want ? 'cause this is n't really a good time . chad : wow , okay , look , it 's only gon na take a minute . hey , it 's important . has anybody at dimera asked you to do anything behind our backs ? eve : well , you both played right into brady 's hands . i 'm telling you , he set me up . rafe : and i 'm telling you it 's our job to interview every suspect . eve : well , i 'm innocent , rafe , and if you do n't want to be accused of false arrest , i suggest you let me go now , hmm ? brady : thank you for bringing this to my attention , henderson . hopefully you 've brought my uncle 's murderer to justice . appreciate it . and out of my hair for good . [ chuckles ] wow . that was easier than i thought . | chad and abby ran into gabi at the pub . it was an awkward situation for all three of them . gabi let them know that kate wanted her to work at dimera enterprises . kate grilled kayla about where the money came from for the hospital . kayla admitted that tripp was the one who donated the money . tripp talked to steve about claire helping him . claire was excited that she was trending online . theo believed in her . he told her that he was the reason why she was trending . he admitted that he was the one who bought her followers . she was furious with him for doing that . brady told rafe and eli that eve was the one who killed deimos . needless to say , eve denied the accusation . brady told them that he had proof . he told them about the amulet that was missing . kate was n't happy that tripp was the donator . kayla could n't believe that she felt that way . kayla defended tripp to kate . kate was surprised that tripp was willing to donate to a place where his mother was killed by joey . kate thought about tripp walking in on her and theo talking . she remembered theo saying that tripp was n't in a position to judge . theo did n't understand why claire was upset . claire was mad that theo bought her followers . she felt like he did n't know her . he wanted to talk about it , but she had to leave . gabi was n't sure if she wanted to take the job . she wanted to know what abby thought about her working at dimera . brady thought that eve had the amulet . eve denied having it . brady explained to rafe and eli how eve ended up staying there . brady called henderson in the room and asked him to tell the police what he found . henderson told them how he found the amulet in the bag . she looked through the bag and ended up touching the amulet . |
ben : why me ? after everything i did to you and abigail -- why in god 's name would you ever turn to me , of all people , for help ? chad : 'cause i need to get abby out of that house , and it 's gon na take a monster to do it . [ intense music ] abigail : a chat ? what do you and i have to chat about ? kate : invite me in , and i 'll tell you . abigail : after you told people that i turned into gabby and that i beat you up -- i do n't think so . kate : i know i have n't been your biggest fan . abigail : i think that 's kind of an understatement , do n't you think ? kate : but chad loves you , and it 's killing him thinking of you married to stefan . abigail : i ca n't do anything about that . kate : i think you can . i think we should talk . abigail : i will probably regret this . time to find out what you 've been up to . abe : you 're exactly the person i 've been looking for . belle : oh , yeah ? why 's that ? abe : i came from the courthouse , and the clerk there tells me that john petitioned for an annulment to dissolve his marriage to hattie adams ? is that correct ? belle : uh ... yeah . abe : hattie adams . how the hell did i marry john to hattie adams ? belle : listen , if it makes you feel any better , i was as much in the dark as you were .

[ scene_break ] john : so , what 's stopping you from believing me ? is it alex ? marlena : i just have so many questions about my past , and when i -- when i try to find answers , it 's just -- it 's all a haze . i do believe that you loved me . i just do n't know ... i just do n't know if , when you thought i was dead ... if you laid me to rest and moved on with kate . john : i never did anything without you in my heart . marlena : i do n't know what to believe . i do n't have any memories to fall back on . look , if i just had some -- i do n't know -- some sort of a proof that ... that you still loved me when you were in love with kate . john : [ sighs ] marlena : i 'm afraid without that , i 'm just not sure that i can take your word over alex 's . alex : i 'm glad to hear you 're reserving judgment , because i have the proof you 're looking for . john 's been lying to you . [ scene_break ] philip : i do n't understand . why are shawn and mimi not getting along ? just two hours ago , i saw -- belle : they 're getting along fine . philip : okay , good . so , what 's the problem ? belle : mimi 's abortion . she ca n't give shawn kids of his own . philip : so what ? they 're just gon na call it quits ? it 's not like that 's news . belle : i guess watching claire really brought it home for mimi , and now she does n't think they belong together . philip : that 's ridiculous . look , i 'm sorry , but do n't you think they 're getting ahead of themselves a little bit ? it 's not like they 're getting married . not yet , anyway . and just because mimi ca n't have babies does n't mean they ca n't adopt down the road . it does n't make any sense to me . why ca n't she understand that what 's in the past is over ? they 're just gon na give up ? belle : i do n't know . i think it 's kind of weird , too , but it 's probably for the best . philip : what do you mean `` it 's for the best `` ? why would you say that ? belle : oh , come on . philip , it is so obvious that shawn and mimi do not belong together . philip : wow . honey , i love you , but you 're dead wrong . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : are you okay ? mimi : i 'm fine . i did n't hit my head on the floor when i fainted before , if that 's what you 're worried about . shawn d. : no , i was just surprised to see you here , that 's all . mimi : with the baby . you 're not the only one . shawn d. : what happened ? mimi : shawn , when i left here , i went to st. luke 's , and father jansen was there and ... well , father jansen was there and i confessed to him and he gave me absolution . shawn d. : that 's great . i 'm just glad to see that you 're doing better . mimi : yeah , well , i was n't at first . um , it was n't good enough for me , actually . god could forgive me , but i could n't forgive myself . i mean , how crazy is that ? shawn d. : um , not crazy at all . mimi : so i realized that i just needed to forgive myself , accept what i did , and move on . shawn d. : that sounds great . i 'm happy for you , and you seem happier and more at peace . mimi : yeah , 'cause it was killing me not being able to hold this baby . i would n't allow myself the pleasure of nurturing this perfect little life . now that i know that i 'm not doomed forever , i can finally hold her and love her , and it feels really , really good . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] lexie : jack , i want you to listen to me very carefully . there is no way that i 'll ever be a party to you committing suicide . jack : dial it down , doc . i 'm not asking you to do anything unethical . hey , hey , would i lie to you ? do n't answer that . look , all i 'm asking is that you keep a few simple facts from jennifer . lexie : no , you want me to lie to jennifer . jack : no , no , no , no . no , no lying , no lying . i just -- i just ... let 's keep it simple . in the end , would you please not conduct an autopsy ? lexie : jack , that is not my choice . you know , you have to talk to jennifer about that , jack . as a matter of fact , you need to talk to jennifer about everything . jack : wait , wait , wait . let 's just say for a moment -- just for a moment , let 's pretend that i have no intention of letting my wife know what is about to happen . and let 's just say -- let 's pretend that she demands an autopsy . please . promise me right now that you wo n't tell her how i really died . let 's consider it an extension of the doctor / patient confidentiality clause . what do you say ? lexie : [ scoffs ] look , let 's -- let 's just hope it never comes to that , okay ? jack : all right , all right , let 's hope . there 's always hope . lexie : yeah , uh , look , in the meantime , i called in a prescription , just in case , and i want you to call me anytime day or night , as your doctor , as your friend . jack : as my doctor , i 'm telling you i 'm not gon na take that prescription .. but as my friend , i 'm telling you i will call . lexie : okay . jack : i will . lexie : okay .

[ scene_break ] john : why do n't you give it up , north ? you do n't have any proof that i stopped loving marlena when she was gone because god knows that it was n't true . alex : well , forgive me , but when you married marlena , did n't you vow to love her until you died , or was that just for the first month or two after she left ? that 's so hard to keep straight . i see . and as i 've seen , you 're obviously prone to making all sorts of meaningless vows . you once made some priestly vows , too , did n't you ? kate : john , john ... alex : you obviously are a man of action , and it is actions that speak louder than words . marlena : you said you had some proof . alex : i certainly do . as these documents show , not only did john have you declared legally dead within the first few months after your alleged death , but he also signed over your life insurance policy to none other than kate roberts , his bride - to - be . can you deny either of those ? john : no , i ca n't . [ scene_break ] philip : of course they belong together . shawn and mimi have been friends forever . and if she 's still having trouble with the abortion , then she needs someone exactly like shawn to help her come to terms with it . belle : and he will , but only as a friend . philip : [ sighs ] as a friend ? that 's ... that 's how it always starts , is n't it ? look at us . we were friends . then we move in together , fall in love , have a baby . i think that worked out pretty good , would n't you say ? belle : yeah , i would n't count on it . i mean shawn and mimi . philip : belle , do you want them to be happy ? belle : of course i do . i just do n't think that it 's really any of our business , and i do n't think that we should be trying to push them together when i honestly do n't think that they 'll be happy together . philip : who else in the world could they possibly be happier with ? exactly . all right ? so i just think that it 's our responsibility as their closest friends to make sure that they give it a try . belle : no . philip : belle , what harm could possibly come from giving them a little nudge ? belle : a lot . i do n't think that we should pressure mimi into anything . it 's just gon na make her feel worse . it wo n't work . believe me . i know her better than anybody else . she is never gon na get over having this abortion , and she 's never gon na get over losing rex . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : you say that you 've forgiven yourself for the abortion , but are you sure you 're okay ? mimi : yeah , these are -- these are happy tears . shawn d. : all right , well , those are allowed , i just -- i ca n't believe how different you are 'cause this guilt has been weighing on you for months . mimi : tell me about it . shawn d. : and now , in the span of , what , an hour ? mimi : i am here holding baby claire . shawn d. : i know , so what changed your mind ? mimi : oh , man , shawn , i do n't know how to explain it . i was there in the church . and it 's like something just snapped , and i found this clarity about everything . i 'll always mourn that baby , but now , with god 's help , at least i know i can move on with my life . shawn d. : wow , we should have gotten you to that church earlier . mimi : [ laughs ] believe me , i am thanking god , but i also owe a lot to you . shawn d. : to me ? why ? what did i do ? mimi : because you 've been there for me every step of the way , telling me over and over again that i should stop being so hard on myself and if you had n't done that , it might have not clicked with me . and you 've definitely shown me that there can be somebody after rex . shawn d. : somebody after rex ? what do you mean ? me ? mimi : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] philip : [ sighs ] look , i know you feel bad about what mimi 's been going through , but sooner or later , she 's going to come to terms with it , just like you will with your postpartum depression . you 're gon na feel better , i promise . and until then , all we can do is support our friends just like they 've been there for us . belle : why are you so fixated on this ? philip : why am i so fixated on this ? ! they 're our friends . i thought you cared about them as much as i do . belle : of course i do , which is why i think it 's a mistake for shawn to end up with mimi . philip : you think it 's a mistake for shawn , period . belle : that 's not what i meant . philip : that 's exactly what you meant . you know , the reason this keeps coming up is because every once in a while , it seems like you do n't want shawn to end up with anyone .

[ scene_break ] shawn d. : where do you get the nerve to ask to be part of claire 's life when all you did was do everything you could to mess up her life ? victor : trust me , shawn , i know the sin that i 've committed . and i do n't use the word `` sin `` lightly . lying , keeping the truth from you , from belle , and from philip -- there 's no excuse for that . all i can say in my own defense is i never set out to harm anyone . i was just trying to protect my son . shawn d. : do n't let yourself off so easy , victor . you 've lied your entire life to get your way . hey , it worked for you . you got your fortune , your mansion , your women . victor : i worked damn hard to get my start in business , young man . i was born in a stone cottage on a rocky hillside in greece . my mother 's whole house would fit in this office . shawn d. : fine , so you had to struggle a little bit . but once you made it , once you saw how much power you had , you sure as hell did n't use it for any good . victor : seems to me i 've seen you get angry , even violent when you did n't get your own way . maybe you 're more like your greek grandfather than you realize . shawn d. : if i even thought for a second that i was anything like you , i would shoot myself . belle : shawn , do n't make things worse than they already are , okay ? shawn d. : let 's get out of here . victor : i have something to say first . shawn d. : why should i listen to you ? victor : because , like it or not , i am your grandfather , and where i come from , that means something . we 're family . now sit down . i promise i wo n't keep you very long , and then when i 'm done , if you still want to drive a race car through my living room , be my guest . belle : we can give him a few minutes . victor : thank you . now , i know you do n't approve of the way i 've lived my life , but one thing i 've learned in all those years is there 's always a chance for a new beginning . claire is that chance for me . the day she was born , i held her in my arms . it 's a tremendous honor to be there at the beginning of a life . i was n't able to be there for my own daughters -- isabella , your namesake . i was n't able to be there for bo , either . and philip -- most of his childhood i ... i spent in a nursing home incapacitated . i would like to give the love to claire that i was n't able to give to my own children . and now that philip ... belle : victor , he 'll be back . victor : i do n't even allow myself to hope , my dear . it 's just too painful . even though you are claire 's father , philip treasured that baby girl . and now she 's the only link that i have to philip . that 's why she 's all the more important to me . i 'm sure you can understand that .

[ scene_break ] lexie : you give me so much strength . you are so confident . you know , you know your place in this world . you belong . i admire that . abe : you do belong , sweetheart . lexie : no , not in the same way . i mean , i 've held positions of responsibility , you know , on the police force and , for years , at the hospital . but every time i go in , i put on my lab coat and i 'd do my job as well as i could . but i always felt like ... abe : what ? what is it ? lexie : i just always felt like i had to work twice as hard as the next person . you know , with stefano dimera for a father and tony for a brother , people have been staring and whispering and pointing for years . when i was kicked off the staff at the hospital , i felt like , `` yeah , here it is ... again . i 'm my father 's daughter after all , `` you know ? when i let myself be blackmailed into lying to a patient , i proved it , abe . i proved it once and for all . abe : look , i am not going to let you believe that . we all have bad instincts . i 've let mine loose in ways that i 'm not proud of . i 'm not going to let you run yourself down . lexie : yes , commissioner . abe : so , we 're staying ? lexie : damn straight we 're staying . let 's look at this dessert menu , okay ?

[ sighs ] to help you clean up . stefan : the hell are you doing here ? and where is my wife ? abigail : so what 's your big plan here ? you just gon na keep me here forever , because i 'm very pregnant . chad : i do n't think you 're gon na have the baby today . abigail : well , i think i 'm due in a few weeks and i have some appointments i should probably keep -- not that you care . chad : of course i care . abigail : do you ? chad : yes -- abigail : is that why you moved out ? is that why you 're trying to railroad me into a straitjacket ? chad : i guess i do n't have a plan , all right ? i 'm expecting laura to meet us here . abigail : my grandmother ? chad : i love you . and you 're gon na have the best care for yourself , the baby , and your mental health . i promise you . abigail : my mental health is fine , but i am going to press charges -- you know that , right , because this is kidnapping . chad : okay . abigail : you abducted me against my will ! chad : to protect you from stefan . abigail : i think the only person i need protecting from is you , apparently . chad : i just maybe ... maybe you just ca n't admit it . maybe it 's because you do n't see it . maybe it 's because you 're scared , but your did is back , abby . you relapsed . gabby is back , and she 's dangerous to you and anybody else she crosses . abigail : will you just let me go ? really . let me go . chad : you really wan na leave ? okay , then i 'll take you to the hospital and you can check in like you promise me you would . abigail : [ scoffs ] go to hell . chad : you know , um , i left a voicemail for your grandmother . she should be calling me anytime now . abigail : wait , do you not even know for sure that she 's coming ? so , is this your big idea of a great plan ? chad : she loves you . she knows your history . she 's helped you before , so she 'll know what to do . trust me . she 'll be here and she 'll help you . abigail : i think the only help i need is convincing you that gabby is behind all of this , okay ? she is manipulating you and everybody else into believing that my alters are back , but if you had n't dragged me off to this place , then i would have all the information that i need to prove that . gabi : where are you ? why have n't you called me back ? what is going on with abigail ? oh , my god . i hope that chad did n't catch you ... 'cause if he did , we 're screwed , kate : your bride 's run off already ? stefan : where is she ? where 's abigail ? kate : well , i have no idea . stefan : how did you get in here ? kate : i came by to see abigail to try to talk some sense into her . the door was unlocked and here i am . why do you look like something the cat dragged in ? stefan : i spent the night outside thanks to chad . kate : [ gasps softly ] chad was here ? stefan : he certainly was last night . somehow he managed to tie up the guard , have someone knock me out , and abduct abigail . i just came to . thank you . abigail : but you seem to be having trouble focusing . i wonder why that is . i 'll be right back . stefan : well , kate ? kate : do n't look at me . this is the first i 've heard of it . stefan : you 're lying . kate : i 'm leaving . stefan : no ... [ chuckles ] okay ? now , you can either -- you can either talk to me , or you can talk to the police . what do you wan na do ? hope : mr. snyder , is that the man who purchased the can of accelerant ? mr. snyder : it 's been a while and the young man was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap . rafe : what if you could just study the photo carefully . go ahead . just take a good , long look . it 's very important . mr. snyder : i 'm sorry . this is n't the guy . ciara : it was no big deal . ben needs a job so i took him to the pub to ask if uncle roman would hire him . tripp : are ... did n't ben kind of kill will , roman 's grandkid ? ciara : yeah . i knew it was a long shot . tripp : yeah , no kidding . ciara : uncle roman was n't even there anyway , so like i said , nothing happened , okay ? tripp : just -- it 's just kind of weird , you know ? you say you wan na stay clear of ben , but then you 're , what , helping him find a job ? ciara : it 's not like i had much choice . it was claire 's idea , not mine . tripp : oh , is that what she said ? ciara : that 's ridiculous . why would she lie to you about that ? claire : what did you do , ben ? what did you say ? what did ciara say ? ben : all right , relax . i told her about my past -- some stuff when i was a kid , some stuff that just really shook me up . claire : oh . and then she totally felt sorry for you , right ? ben , that 's brilliant ... [ laughs ] you 're a genius . ben : it was also true . claire : well , what happened after that ? ben : we almost kissed . claire : `` almost `` ? [ stammers ] why `` almost `` ? way to underachieve . ben : i ca n't rush this . claire : uh , yeah you can ... ben : look , we had a moment -- a good one , a real one ... and then she pulled back . she said she 's with tripp now . claire : damn it . ben : what do you mean , `` damn it `` ? you act like you did n't expect there to be a glitch in this whole plan of yours . the girl has integrity . claire : oh . oh , and you 're saying that i do n't , 'cause i do , ben . i just happen to actually go for what i want . ben : what i meant ... was that she 's a cop 's kid . truth , justice -- maybe she likes heroes , you know , the squeaky clean type . claire : [ laughs ] oh , trust me . tripp is n't exactly squeaky clean . ben : what do you mean ? so a tree falls on your brand - new car and totals it . rafe : so for the record , you 're certain that the man in the photo is not the one who purchased the accelerate ? mr. snyder : i 'm positive . absolutely . it was a young man , just not this one . if there 's nothing else , i need to get back to my shop . rafe : we 're done here . hope : we thank you for your time , mr . snyder . rafe : if you think of anything ... mr. snyder : you 'll hear from me . [ door slams ] [ loud bang ] hope : damn it . i was so sure that was ben . i was positive . rafe : well , it made the most sense . ben plants bogus evidence to frame himself . you find it . you 're smeared , and the pd and the case against ben is totally discredited . case closed . oh , not to mention the fact that he gets away with setting the fire that almost killed ciara . hope : yeah , well , if it was n't ben , then who the hell planted this ? tripp : see you after my shift ? ciara : count on it . tripp : mm . [ smooch ] ciara : the whole deal with claire lying to you about ben and me ... you know she still has a thing for you , right ? she 's just trying to make trouble . tripp : yeah , well , i have a thing for you . okay ? and trust me , i know exactly how claire operates . and i promise that i wo n't let anything or anyone between us . okay ? [ foreboding music ] ben : why do you think tripp is n't mr . clean ? claire : mm . nothing , okay ? nothing -- ben : no , no , no , no . you ca n't stop now . claire : um ... tripp might 've killed someone . ben : he killed someone ? claire : mm - hmm -- well ... [ stammers ] yeah , the person he killed might 've been holding a gun to ciara . ben : so tripp saved ciara 's life ? i do n't stand a chance ... [ laughs ] claire : okay , well , you also saved her life too , ben . are you forgetting ? so , just focus on that , all right ? and you really do have a real connection , and you really do need a job , okay ? so just use all that stuff 'cause it seems to be working so far . ben : did fran really not wan na hire me ? claire : i mean , she was n't thrilled , if we 're being honest . what 's the point of the both of us working here ? ben : yeah . i might get in your way of using up all your charm of yours on tripp . claire : yeah , i can be very persuasive . and besides , you need to be around ciara as much as possible , which is n't here . actually , i know exactly where she 's gon na be today . abigail : how do you -- okay . you have seen me as gabby before . have you seen me as gabby lately ? have you talked to her at all ? no , i do n't think so . chad : you went straight to stefan . you married him . that seems a hell of a lot like something gabby would do , does n't it ? abigail : yeah , but that was my only option to protect myself from the man who claims that he loves me and is consistently insisting on believing the absolute worst ... chad : i love you more than you will ever know . abigail : and i would love it if you would listen to me , because i know what gabby is saying . i know that she 's telling everybody that she forgives me , but i also know that that 's a lie . my alter framed her , so she is trying to frame me . she went to prison , so she wants me to go to a psych ward . she ca n't have kids , so she wants to take mine , and apparently my husband as well . chad : what about kate ? kate saw your alters too . abigail : okay , well , let me tell you about kate . kate came to the mansion . and she just went on and on about how much she loves you and how dedicated she is to your happiness , wanted to help me leave stefan so that you and i could be a couple again . chad : that sounds like kate . abigail : but then she said i needed to trust her , which i knew was a clue that i should not . so then she asked if we could have tea . imagine that . so , i switched our cups . and within just a couple of sips , kate could hardly put one word in front of the other , okay ? and before she was passed out completely and i had the proof that i needed to show you that kate and gabi are guilty as hell , you showed up and you dragged me off . kate : the police ? i do n't think i have anything to say that would interest them . stefan : oh , really ? accessory to kidnapping -- i 'd say that 's a great conversation starter . kate : [ scoffs , chuckles ] you know , you get knocked out , abigail disappears , and you just assume that chad has kidnapped her ? you know , the flaw in that way of thinking is that you are grossly underestimating your ability to just drive a woman away . stefan : why , my wife would never leave me . kate : oh , no . you 're still in the honeymoon phase , right ? you know , obviously , she has seen the light and she has left with chad of her own free will . stefan : right . so , chad can have her committed so he can reprogram her ? there 's no way in hell she would do that . kate : oh , my god . you really need to snap out of it . i 'm telling you . you are so obsessed with this possibility of your wacked - out gabby being back . i mean , you 're letting it color the truth . your delusions are coloring the truth . stefan : `` possibility `` ? you signed a sword statement that abigail 's alter attacked you . i 'd say that makes it very real . kate : i 'm talking about the possibility that gabby would still be around long enough to help raise your love child , but we both know that too many people love abigail and they would never ever let that happen . you , my man , are losing a grip on reality . stefan : the reality here is that you love chad very much , do n't you ? i mean , just about as much as anyone . you 'd do anything for him , would n't you -- even assist in a little abduction . kate : if i did -- and i did n't -- why would i be standing here having this ludicrous conversation with you ? stefan : i do n't know . maybe he sent you here to keep tabs on me . kate : like you 're having me keep tabs on him for you ? stefan : excuse me . i need to go find my pregnant wife . you can see your way out . oh , and just fyi -- this is n't finished . trust me . i 'll get the truth .

[ sighs ] stop , no . ben : need some help ? [ sultry music ] hope : even if ben did n't plant that evidence , there was no doubt in my mind that he set that fire . rafe : oh , i agree . this -- this is a problem . we need to find out who the hell is planting evidence on our damn crime . [ knocking ] stefan : excuse me . i 'd like to report a crime . my brother , chad dimera , had me knocked out and then kidnapped my wife . chad : kate would never -- abigail : well , i 'm telling you it 's true . it 's true , okay ? i do n't know . why ? for whatever reason , kate and gabi are working together . kate tried to drug me . chad : are you listening to yourself , abby ? do you have any idea how any of this sounds ? abigail : what , do i sound paranoid , because that 's , like , your new favorite word . you would rather believe that than the truth . chad : you know , i 'm just trying to help you . that 's what i 'm trying to do . abigail : but your idea of helping me is dumping me in an insane asylum . the only person who has believed me or listened to me at all is your brother . chad : stefan -- stefan is -- stefan is using you ... [ stammers ] abigail : marrying stefan is the only thing between me and a padded cell , so be upset all you want . you might as well have walked me down the aisle . chad : look me in the eyes right now . you really think that stefan 's trying to protect you ? he does n't care about you . he cares about gabby and he cares about that baby , and he 'll do anything to destroy -- abigail : are you really any better ? because you kidnapped a pregnant woman and brought her out into the cold and you locked her up . chad : you did n't leave me a choice . kate : what are you doing here ? get in here . close the door . gabi : what are you doing here ? were you here all night ? kate : was n't my idea . gabi : kate , you told me not to worry , that you were gon na drug abigail . you were gon na tell everybody that she tried to kill you . mission accomplished . what happened ? kate : okay , well , you missed one little detail -- that abigail 's onto us . i drugged the tea . she switched the cups . gabi : so , what , you passed out ? kate : uh - huh . i spent the whole night on that couch . gabi : oh , my god . chad was on the way over here . how did he not find you ? kate : ugh , well , it 's a good thing that he decided to snatch abigail , otherwise the two of us would 've been sharing a jail cell tonight . abigail : you had choices , chad , and you chose to leave because you could n't stand to look at me like this . [ soft dramatic music ] chad : i love you . abigail : so what if you 're right ? okay , what if my did is back , and i go , and i do what you want , and i get the help that you want me to get , and i integrate . what 's next ? are we gon na be together ? are you really gon na be able to accept that your brother 's child is a part of our life ? i did n't think so . chad : i love you . abigail : you keep saying that . chad : i love you . i love you . i love you . i love you . and we can be a family . we can be together . all right ? there 's still time . i can accept that child as my own . i promise you . abigail : you 've had time . you have had time , and i do n't -- i think if you were gon na love this child , then ... we would n't be here . i love you ... [ laughs softly ] and i would never force you to do something or accept something that you can't . that 's why i let you go . but if you love me the way that you say you do , do n't keep me here when i 'm telling you i do n't wan na stay . kate : i 'm telling you right now . if chad had n't run off with abigail , she would 've taken a match to us . she would 've found this bag . she would 've seen the wig . she would 've seen the sedatives and she would 've showed them to chad . she would 've showed them to anyone who was interested . gabi : [ sighs ] damn it . kate : look , you know , actually , i 'm feeling lucky right now . i 'm gon na go home . i 'm gon na take a shower . i 'm gon na have some breakfast . but i also want you to know that i am so sorry that i ever became part of this stupid plan of yours , and whatever genius move you come up with next , you leave me out of it . gabi : leave you out of it ? okay , well , it 's a little late for that , kate . no , no , no . stefan and abigail -- they are gon na get what they deserve , and you -- you 're gon na help me take them down . stefan : i want my wife found and chad arrested . hope : [ stammers ] [ laughs softly ] sorry . um , i 'm still stuck on ... abigail married you ? stefan : that 's right . rafe : no , no . no , there 's no way . stefan : look , i do n't care how either one of you feel about that one way or the other . i just want my wife found , and i want her found now . rafe : all right . you have any proof the crime was committed ? stefan : all i know , i was talking to chad , and then i woke up in the bushes the next morning like this . that 's all the proof that i need . rafe : well , maybe it 's just proof you took advantage of abigail and chad decided to intercede . i would n't blame him . hope : now , how do we even know that abigail did n't leave with chad willingly ? perhaps she realized she made a terrible mistake , went back to the man she really loves . how about that , stefan ? if this is the game that we 're gon na play here , then i 'll just skip the insults and go right to the media . hope : that wo n't be necessary . my cousin 's in danger . i want answers . rafe will take your statement , talk to you . sign immediately . stefan : good . you do whatever you have to do to find my wife and unborn child , or there 'll be hell to pay in here . [ keypad beeps ] [ line ringing ] rafe : really ? ciara : what are you doing here ? ben : i saw an ad for dishwashing . i actually used to work here when it was club tbd . sonny would never hire me again , but maybe this doug guy will give me a shot ? who knows ? maybe he 's one of the few people in this town who does n't know my history ... or maybe he does . ciara : this doug guy happens to be my grandpa . he and my grandma , julie , own the place . ben : ah . your dad 's parents , or your mom 's ? ciara : my mom 's . ben : ah , i was afraid you 'd say that . [ sultry music ] claire : oh , you think i lied ? yeah ? tripp , what about you ? ever since i asked you if you planted that evidence to implicate ben , you 've been completely avoiding me , which is basically the same thing as lying . tripp : i 've been busy . claire : [ scoffs ] wow , you 're not even denying it . tripp : maybe i just do n't like being accused of something i did n't do . claire : well , it would n't be the first time you framed someone . i remember when you wanted to get back at kayla . you made it look like she was guilty of negligence . tripp : this is different . claire : okay . so you did do it . tripp : you know , i need to start my shift . claire : tripp , tripp . i do n't think you are understanding me . i am on your side . if ben started the fire , he could 've killed ciara , okay ? so , of course you wan na put him away . what 's the harm in helping the police lock up a guilty man ? tripp : that 's exactly why i did it . with uncontrolled hope : stefan is claiming that he married abigail and is accusing chad of kidnapping her . he 's asked pd to investigate . cuz , please , if you 've heard from them or if you hear from them , either of them , call me right away . i 'm worried . i 'm sorry i have to leave a message like this . call me . rafe : okay , i got stefan 's statement and i let everyone know to be on the lookout for chad and abigail . hope : i 'm so worried . i mean , poor abigail . i 'm just hoping that whatever 's going on , she 's gon na be okay . rafe : you know , she 's got chad . in fact , i would bet that this whole kidnapping thing is just him protecting her . hope : yeah , i 'm holding on to that . rafe : yeah , 'cause that 's what a man does when he loves a woman . he does everything that he possibly can to protect her . see , i understand that . hope : mm . rafe : and we are gon na get you out from under this cloud of suspicion . mark my word . hope : [ chuckles ] you make it sound so easy . i wish it were -- now that trask has this whispering campaign she started against me . i do n't know . rafe : trask ... ever tell you how much i hate that woman ? i swear , i think that her only purpose in life is to take down the people i love . we 're gon na shut her down , though . we 're gon na shut her down , and then we 're gon na figure out who the real culprit is . hope : all we know is it 's a young man . rafe : it 's not jj . i believed him now . hope : so did i . so ? who else fits that description and would have a vested interest in seeing ben locked up ? rafe : someone who loves ciara . someone who is worried about her safety with ben being around a little bit too often . hope : anyone ... who would do whatever he needs to do to protect the woman he loves . [ laughs softly ] tripp . what if it was tripp ? tripp : ben was going to get away with trying to kill ciara and there was no way that i was gon na let that happen . the only thing i did n't count on was ben claiming that hope planted it and that just really screwed things up . claire : how 'd you even do it ? how did you get ben 's fingerprint on the can ? tripp : i got the idea from a case my dad was working on . i lifted the print off of a dvd ben left in the loft and bought the accelerant and then transferred the print . claire : that 's -- that 's very super spy . tripp : you have to promise me though . you can not tell anyone about this , okay ? ciara would -- ciara would hate me , especially since her mom 's still being blamed . claire : tripp , trust me . you do n't have to worry , all right ? your secret is safe with me . ben : yeah , there 's no way hope 's mom and dad are gon na give me a job . ciara : [ laughs ] i mean , i could ask , but ... not a chance in hell . ben : no , mm - mm . ciara : no . ben : [ sighs ] well , onward and upward , right ? i 'll get back out there . i 'll find another place . good luck . ciara : ben ! wait . kate : i 'm really getting tired of people telling me what to do . gabi : well , i could tell chad what you 've done . kate : what , that i spied on him for stefan , and then i 'll threaten you . we 'll go all around again . the thing is , gabi , i helped you because of your dad . but now , that 's all done . gabi : no . kate , i 'm sorry . okay , listen , i 'm sorry . you 're right . i 'm pushing . i 'm sorry . but we -- we 're friends , kate . we have the same enemies , and we deserve justice . kate : here . you 're gon na have to clean things up . i would wash out this cup if i were you and not leave any of the drug there because if the police come here looking for evidence of foul play , well , i 'm not taking the fall -- you are . [ dramatic music ] chad : you 're right . i ca n't force you to get help if you do n't want it , so ... okay . [ soft dramatic music ] go . the day after chemo might mean a trip back to ciara : um , i just wanted to clear up anything that might 've been awkward yesterday . ben : [ softly ] yeah . ciara : well , yeah . we kind of had a moment , but that 's all it was -- a moment . like i said , i have a boyfriend . ben : i know . but if i 'm being honest with you , i wish you didn't . tripp : hey , guys . can i get you two a table ? hope : sorry to bother you at work . we need to ask you some questions . abigail : thank you . you 're doing the right thing . chad : even with stefan ? abigail : uh - huh .

marlena : yes . but he would n't tell me who was on it . i had -- i had no idea . all he said was that it was kristen in bed with a man . honey , i had no idea that you were the man on that tape . eric : why would you play it in front of the entire church ? marlena : because there was no me . brady was about to destroy his life . kristen was walking down the aisle . and -- and we knew if we told him , we could n't stop him . so ... if we showed it privately , we knew that he would somehow rationalize the whole thing or that kristen would make up a whole new set of lies . we had to expose her publicly . eric : this is unbelievable . did n't you just bother to stop , check -- just think ? now it 's -- now it 's destroyed my life . marlena : eric ... if i had known -- if i had known that she had drugged you , if i had known she had lied ... i 'm so sorry . but if i had known ... i would have let brady destroy his own life . i would never let you go through this kind of pain . brady : give it up . just give it up , will you ? i know eric very well . he would never -- he would never do what you 're suggesting , ever ! kristen : i 'm sorry . look , i know . this is hard for me . i understand that it 's even harder for you , 'cause it 's eric . brady : you 're not telling me the truth . kristen : do you remember -- brady : you 're not telling me the truth ! you 're lying to me . that 's all you 've ever done . kristen : just listen to me . do you remember the -- the opening of the school ?

you wanted to try again . do you remember that ? brady : yes , i do . i remember it all . kristen : you ... are all i have ever wanted in my whole life . it was you . you 're all i ever wanted , brady . and i knew if i showed that video , i was gon na lose you again . my hand to god , i got rid of that thing . i destroyed it . got rid of it . i do n't know how marlena and victor got their hands on it . i do n't know why they wanted to show it at our wedding . but that just tells you how sick marlena is , that she would do that to her own son . brady : he did n't ! kristen : but he 's not innocent in this . you know that . he 's not innocent in this . brady : he did n't do it . kristen : do you remember the scholarship fund -- how i did n't want to be any part of it ?
