[ phone beeps ] kimberly : no , i do n't know , brady . it 's not gon na be that easy getting through to theresa . see , my greatest fear , her past may become her future , because these patterns , they 're so ingrained . it 's just , theresa may never be able to change . brady : never be able to -- kim , that 's the most pessimistic view . and you 're wrong , by the way . you 're completely wrong , because she has changed . kim , for god 's sakes , i mean , you 've told me yourself that you were ashamed of the years that you 've lost with her , that you wish you could have been there for her . well , now is your chance . break the cycle . please . just come here to salem and talk to her , please . kimberly : okay . okay , brady . i 'll do the best i can . okay . i 'll take the first flight out . okay . brady : thank you . thank you . you 'll send me all the details , when you 're arriving ? kimberly : you bet , sure thing . and , brady , take care , honey . brady : you too , kim . i 'll see you soon . victor : what did kimberly have to say ? brady : nothing that good , actually . she 's pretty pessimistic about everything . victor : any improvement in the situation ? brady : no , quite the opposite . things have gone from bad to worse , granddad . but she 's gon na fly in , and , even though she thinks it 's a hopeless task , she 's gon na come in and talk to theresa . and hopefully she 'll be able to get to her . victor : well , do n't hold your breath . jj : you 're not alone , you know . i 'm still making the same stupid mistakes i 've made in the past . i thought i 'd turned a corner , but i still seem to be the same screw - up i 've always been . it 's just , it 's me , i guess . my default mode . theresa : hey , stop . do n't be so hard on yourself , jj . you 're a cop now , right ? so you put away the bad guys . remember ? so ... jj : not everything bad is a criminal offense . theresa : hey , you 're not still beating yourself up over that whole eve - paige fiasco , are you ? jj : i 'm not proud of it , but no , i 'm talking about the new and improved mistakes i 've managed to make recently . theresa : oh , please , please , please , just tell me all about them , anything to keep my mind off my horrible problems . and do n't spare any detail , okay ? make it as vivid and as lurid and as horrible as possible . please ? jj : i 'd rather not . theresa : talk about it ? yeah . okay . yeah . fair is fair . jj : look , i 've got this great thing going on with gabi . and i 'm afraid if she finds out -- how are you supposed to tell someone when you know it 's gon na hurt them so badly ? theresa : well ... first of all ... does n't take a rocket scientist to figure out your grave mistake . but ... look , since we 've decided to respect each other 's privacy , i 'll leave it alone . jj : i 'd appreciate it . theresa : yeah . jj : so what should i do ? theresa : oh , jj . you have to tell her . you have to own up to it , okay ? just own up to your mistake . everybody makes mistakes , jj . it 'll be so much worse if she hears it from somebody else . jj : yeah , i know . you 're right , i know . theresa : well , god knows i 'm not one to give a lecture . but if there 's any way that i could be honest with brady right now ... [ crying ] it would be the best thing that ever happened to us . jj : you ca n't be honest with -- theresa : no . no , not this time . i ca n't , but , you know , it 's not too late for you , jj . you have to . you have to tell her , okay ? please , please , just tell her . tell her the truth . it 's the only way that you can move forward with your relationship . and it is the only road that can possibly lead to ... freedom . freedom to love without guilt . [ crying ] and ... on that note ... my sermon is finished . jj : theresa ... i want that freedom , more than anything else in the world . theresa : okay . please , jj , just remember , no matter what horrible mistakes we 've made in the past when we were n't able to do the right thing , it does n't mean that we ca n't do the right thing now . jj : that 's true . theresa : look , i really need to be alone right now , jj . jj : okay . theresa ... theresa : mm - hmm ? jj : thank you . i 'm sorry i could n't be more of a help to you , but i 'm glad i ran into you today . theresa : oh , god ... jj : because you helped me so much . theresa : good , good . good , good , good , good . good . i 'm so glad that i could help someone . [ sobbing ] oh , god . victor : i 'm sorry , brady . under the circumstances , that was an insensitive remark . brady : no , no , it 's fine . i 'm getting used to them by now . victor : understand , i was n't putting theresa down . i have very little confidence in that mother of hers . you know , we have bad history that goes way back . brady : yeah , i know you do . well , i do n't have much confidence in anything right now , so ... all i do know is , i 'm not gon na let theresa destroy herself . and i 'm gon na -- probably the first thing i need to do is get all the booze out of this house . what ? why are you looking at me like that ? victor : i did n't want to say anything at the time , but during the siege , the liquor decanters were empty every morning . now , granted , we had a lot of drinkers in the house , nerves to be quelled . but henderson said he saw theresa more than once knocking back a few , and then a few more . brady : damn it . victor : probably her way of dealing with stress . brady : i did n't see it . how could i be so oblivious to it ? why would i take all of the liquor out of the house , right ? she 's a grown woman . if she wants it , she 's gon na find a way to get it someplace else , and not just booze . victor : i 'm sorry you have to go through this , brady . i really am . now you 're giving me the look ? brady : it 's the way you 've been looking at me . you 're not yourself , granddad . victor : what are you talking about ? brady : it 's like you know more than you 're saying . victor : what more could either one of us know ? i mean , theresa is a screwed - up little bitch . brady : there it is . victor : now , look , i try to be sensitive to your distress , but you have to face the facts . i mean , the woman is a very good showman . she puts on a very nice show . she 's a devoted wife and mother . but it 's just that , brady . it 's a show . now she 's showing her true self . and you have to be able to deal with that . brady : i guess i do . you know what , i 'm relieved . victor : relieved ? brady : yeah . now that theresa 's regressed , i 'm relieved that this is n't some kind of a conspiracy . victor : what do you mean ? brady : everyone 's been acting strange around me . it 's like they know something that i do n't . it 's got me a little paranoid , to be honest with you . victor : it 's understandable . brady : i need to get out of here . i 'll see you soon . victor : no , brady , you 're not paranoid . chad : thank you . claire : hey , jade , wait up . jade : i ca n't . i 'm looking for joey . claire : hey , no . i actually just left him , and that 's why i 'm here . jade : that 's good news . at least i know he has n't fallen off the face of the earth . claire : yeah , no , he has n't . look , jade ... i know how close you and joey were . jade : were ? claire : and i know how much you care about him , which is why i thought that we should talk . jade : talk about what ? just tell him to respond to my texts . claire : jade , i was just with joey , and you must have sent him like 25 texts in a half hour . like , it 's just too much . jade : so tell him to answer me . claire : yeah , but he does n't want to . do n't you get it ? i think if he wanted to , he would . jade : okay , what are you trying to tell me ? claire : joey really just needs to be taking care of himself right now , okay , which is why he 's not really looking for anything serious , as in the whole couple thing . jade : okay , a ) this is really none of your business , and b ) you 're completely wrong . joey and i are a couple already . claire : jade , are you sure about that ? jade : of course i am . what now ? claire : okay . jade , look , i think the whole idea that you and joey are some sort of big - deal relationship , i think that that 's in your head and it 's not really in reality . you know , look , i 'm just saying that maybe you should slow things down for a little while , 'cause needy is not a very attractive color on you , or anyone for that matter . you know , you 're like one heart emoji away from qualifying as a literal stalker . jade : i 'll be fine , okay ? and thanks for playing life coach and all , but you 're completely misreading vibes . claire : jade , i 'm sorry . jade : look , i know it 's really early to start planning for the future , but ... claire : god , please do n't say yolo . jade : i 'm thinking of your grandparents . joey told me that they met when they were our age . claire : yes , yes , they did , and it was completely epic . but , you know , for every couple like that that does make it , there are just hundreds that do n't . and if it 's not meant to be , well , it 's not really something that you can force , jade . that rarely happens in the real world . jade : okay , there is no forcing ... because it 's already happened . joey and i are meant to be together . i feel it , and i know it . gabi : [ laughs ] chad , thank you . they 're beautiful , wow . oh , and you remembered that i love lavender . thank you . chad : yeah , it 's starting to grow on me a little bit . gabi : but you did n't have to do this . i work for you , remember ? it 's my job . chad : yeah , well , you went far beyond the call of duty . gabi : still , i mean , the gorgeous dress and the flowers . i 'm happy to help , so no more gifts . chad : well , how about ... one more ? gabi : [ laughs ] that 's so silly . chad : can i ? gabi : yes . [ giggles ] [ dramatic music ] ok ! impaciente ! gabi : what do you think ? chad : well ... here . gabi : all right , now you have something . oh . chad : oh , it fell out a little bit , hold on . now that -- yeah , that looks nice . gabi : thank you . you 're a sweet boss . chad : i mean , i 'm more than that . gabi : really ? [ laughs slightly ] brady : what are you doing here ? last time we were here , you could n't get out of here fast enough . theresa : brady , what , are you spying on me ? how 'd you know i was here ? did you install one of those find your phone apps on my phone so you could track my every move , huh ? brady : no , theresa , i 'm not tracking you , okay ? i was off to go to anne milbauer 's place to see if you were there , and i happened to see your car in the parking lot . you want to answer my question now ? why are you here ? theresa : i ... i was looking for an aa leader , someone who could remind you to accept the things that you can not change . brady , you do n't get to tell me where to go or what to do or who i hang out with . you know what , just back off me . brady : stop lying . you 're lying to me . i know you , and you 're lying to me right now , theresa . the fact that you 're here by yourself means you 're crying for help . and , by god , whether you like it or not , i 'm going to help you . maybe it 's that you 're jealous . you 've got to get a grip . claire : whoa , jade , okay . you 've got to get a grip . see , i know joey really well , and i just do not think that you guys are on the same page . jade : okay , you could n't be more wrong . maybe it 's that you 're jealous . that you do n't have a boyfriend , that you just want everyone to be as alone as you are . claire : oh , my god , no . god , that is not it at all . jade : well , whatever `` it `` is , i do n't want to hear about it anymore . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have to go plan my future . theresa : oh , you want to help me , brady . but you ca n't , 'cause i do n't want help -- from you or anybody else . brady : honey , you can push me away all you want . it 's not gon na work , okay ? because i am not giving up on you . theresa : i have to go . brady : look , stop . theresa , look at me . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry if i have n't been there the way that you 've needed me to be . i love you with all my heart . i really do . and i 'm gon na spend every minute of every day making this up to you . theresa : no , no , no , no , no . i do n't want you to , brady . you know what , i do n't want your whole white night act . that 's your thing with every woman that you 've ever been with -- chloe and nicole , kristen , summer , even me . but you know what ? you ca n't help me , brady , okay ? so just do me a favor and cross me off your `` damsels in distress `` list , all right ? 'cause what i need -- what i need is space , and i need room to breathe . brady : what you need is me . what you need is me . and i will always love you , and you need to let me ! chad : i mean , i do think that our relationship goes beyond employer - employee . we 're friends . good friends , old friends . gabi : yeah . yes , you 're right . high school friends . and good friends have to be honest with one another , right ? [ phone beeps ] gabi : sorry . jj actually has to see me right away . guess i 'm gon na head out . chad : wait , you -- you forgot your flowers . claire : okay , it was like talking to a brick wall . i 'm warning you , joey , you 're gon na have to be loud and forceful and in her face . subtle is not a language that that woman speaks . joey : what does that mean ? claire : i mean that you 're gon na have to make her shut up and listen to you , and then you 're gon na have to be brutal , or she 's not gon na get the message , because she just , like , does n't want to hear it . joey : well , thanks for trying . claire : yeah , no problem . if i were you , i 'd just get it done sooner rather than later and get it over with , unless you want a couple more thousand texts from her . joey : i do n't . it 's driving me crazy . claire : well , let me know how it goes , okay ? joey : yeah , sure .

[ ben sobbing ] is she dead ? ben : she broke in here earlier . she smashed your picture . i was so mad and so worried that she was gon na hurt you . i tried getting a hold of you . i left you messages , and i did n't hear back . ciara : i forgot my phone . ben : i know that . i went to the hospital , and i saw your mom . when i realized you were n't getting the messages , i just came tearing back here . this is what i found . she was strangled by a scarf . when i first saw her body , i thought it was you . ciara : i 'm very much alive . and i 'm here , and i am safe . but -- but ben -- ben : what ? you do n't think i did this , do you ? oh ! oh ! oh ! [ distant chatter ] ben : i was so afraid that ciara would n't believe me . i found her like this ; i swear . no matter how scared i was of what she might do to you ...

[ scene_break ] hope : another visitor ? who is it this time ? carly : me . warden smith : thank you . [ scoffs ] she just had two visitors in the last two hours . lee : you know who they are ? warden smith : no ! neither one of them was on the list of friends or relatives she gave us when she got here . lee : i do n't like it . warden smith : neither do i . if hope keeps asking questions about april ... she just may need to be isolated . [ scene_break ] rafe : i said 30 seconds ... or sami is not going to prison , and that animal is not getting custody of her children . nicole , i was fbi . you think i do n't know how to clean up a crime scene ? nicole : if anything happens to me ... that video goes public . rafe : yeah , so you say , but there 's only one way to find out , now , is n't there ? nicole : do n't hurt me , rafe . rafe : you 're running out of time . nicole : sydney -- sami : no way ! nicole : sami ... i do n't want custody or anything . i ... i just want to know her and for her to know me . i - i - i did n't go to ej with the video . i came here . rafe : you want a pat on the head for that ? hmm ? nicole : i am not out to nail sami . sami : could have fooled me . nicole : it 's like i told sami before . i just ... want to be a part of sydney 's life . and in return ... i will not say anything to anyone about the video . so deal or no deal ?

[ scene_break ] carly : bo did n't think we could risk bringing a file in here , but i remember the main points . hope : what did you find out ? carly : i did some research on the medical personnel here in the infirmary , and i came up with something on this woman , a lee michaels ? hope : lee ? carly : yeah , you know her ? hope : yeah . yeah , i work with her in the infirmary . what did you find out ? [ scene_break ] kate : i can understand why you 'd be upset . and i can understand why you want to learn the truth . but i 'm going to repeat my warning to you , and this time you 're going to listen . are you listening ? chad : i 'm listening . kate : stefano can be a very generous , loving husband , father , grandfather . but he also can be a formidable enemy ... especially if he thinks you 're trying to con him . chad : oh , believe me , i 'm not . kate : and if that 's what he thinks , you 're in trouble . or maybe he 'll believe that you 're his son ... and then he 'll blame your mother for betraying him , and he 's going to take it out on you , because you see ... stefano is unpredictable . stefano is dangerous ... especially if he thinks you 're after him ... especially if he thinks you 're after his family . [ scene_break ] stefano : this is unacceptable . marco : i 'm sorry , sir ... but the trail seems to have just gone cold . stefano : this woman arianna is an amateur . but obviously , she knows who shot elvis , right ? and she had some proof . and you bring this to me again -- nothing ? marco : i 'm sorry . stefano : use more men . work more hours . but you find out who has done this , and you deal with them ... no matter what . [ scene_break ] rafe : i do n't think we have a choice . nicole : sami ... i love sydney . sami : i ca n't do this . nicole : and that -- that means i want what 's best for her . and you are what 's best for her . do you remember when ... when they were arresting me , and you let me hold her ? because you knew it was good for her . well , i 'll never forget that . i want her with you . i do n't want her to be the rope in a tug - of - war . i just want to be able to see her , give her a birthday present , just have her know my name -- that 's all . rafe : you know if you go back on any of this ... i meant what i said . nicole : yeah , i get it , rafe . rafe : can you do this ? sami : do we have a choice ? rafe : okay . now , we go really , really slow with this . we do n't want to arouse anyone 's suspicions ... mainly dimera . nicole : right . rafe : you should go now . nicole : okay . you know , sami , i - i do n't know what you did ... to deserve him ... but you are one lucky woman . [ door opens ] sami : [ sobbing ] i love you so much . thank you .

[ jennifer laughs ] bo : so how are you and jack , you know , enjoying your alone time ? jennifer : well , by being alone , 'cause he 's off . he 's chasing a story . but it 's okay . it 's -- it 's giving me time , you know , to come here and deal with gram 's estate . and i 'll have a lot of time to spend with hope . bo : sounds like you 're gon na be here for a while . [ scene_break ] carly : so this michaels woman was a doctor . hope : a doctor ? what ? carly : you did n't know that ? i thought that she worked in the infirmary . hope : yeah , but like i do -- as an aide , an orderly . she 's really a doctor ? carly : that 's really strange . i would think that would be common knowledge , especially if you were working so closely together . hope : no , i had no idea . how 'd she end up in here ? carly : she illegally prescribed painkillers for some of her patients , and she got caught , and she got her license revoked . hope : she lied why she 's here . carly : she told you something else ? hope : totally different stor -- oh , my god . carly : what ? hope : when april was really sick , i asked lee to go look for a doctor while i stayed with april . but she is a doctor . she 's a doctor , and she walked away . carly : oh , that 's creepy . hope : yeah , well , there 's more . another patient died . all she had was a broken leg , and she ended up dead . lee told me it was t.b . , but i saw her file . cause of death -- cardiac arrest . carly : you think michaels had something to do with that ? hope : yeah , given what you just told me , absolutely .

[ cell phone rings ] stefano : [ chuckles ] so much for quiet , huh ? hello ? who is this ? [ scene_break ] sami : [ sighs ] rafe : well ... i think we should look at this as a good thing . sami : a good thing ? that crazy woman gets to get her hands on my daughter . rafe : well , yes , but if we let her see sydney , she 's gon na make sure that ej does n't find out about that damn camera . sami : i guess . rafe : and as much as i despise that woman , i do think that she has sydney 's best interests in mind . i mean , she certainly does n't want ej to have custody of sydney . sami : and you did scare the hell out of her . rafe : well ... [ sniffs ] sami : nicole was right about one thing . rafe : hmm ? sami : i do n't deserve you . rafe : no , that 's true . sami : what ? you 're not supposed to agree ! rafe : facts are facts . sami : oh , god , i thought she was dead . i thought i had a dead body in our apartment , and ... then you walked in , and you rescued me again . rafe : [ laughs ] i got to tell you , i 'm getting real sick of people trying to push you around . sami : me too . rafe : just so you know , i 'm here for the long haul . i 'm not gon na let anything else happen to you . all right ? [ scene_break ] carly : uh , i think bo is pretty much convinced that you 're right , that something very wrong is going on in the infirmary . hope : i told lee once ... the whole thing had the feel of a cover - up . she did n't even blink . she never even came close to letting on that she 's actually a doctor . carly : bo said something else . he needs you to be careful . hope : yeah , of course , i will . carly : okay . i guess that 's it . hope : yeah . [ clears throat ] well , uh , thank you ... [ softly ] for all this research , coming here . thank you . carly : no problem . i -- is there anything you want me to tell bo ? hope : no . actually , there is , uh , something . carly : okay . hope : i 'd like to ask you a question , and i 'm hoping that you 'll answer honestly . carly : honestly ? depends on the question . hope : fair enough . how 's bo ? not how he 's telling me he 's doing , how -- how is he , really ? how is he ? carly : not good . hope : no ? carly : no . hope , how could he be ? you 're in here . [ scene_break ] jennifer : so , you know , the great thing about jack 's schedule is that i can be really flexible about going back and forth to london . bo : well , that 's nice . jennifer : yeah . it 's good . you know , i was telling chelsea and max that i saw them in london a little while ago , and i was telling them how much i missed salem . and when i was back for the funeral , everything was -- was so crazy , but being here , it just -- it feels like home . bo : really ? jennifer : yes , really . i mean , hope 's here , aunt maggie . you 're here -- all of my friends and family , so ... who knows ? maybe i 'll come back for good . bo : well , hope would love that . so would i . but , um ... what 's really going on here ? [ scene_break ] stefano : hello ? who is this ? kate : who was it ? stefano : i do n't know . whoever it was , they stayed on for a while , and then they hung up . they do n't want to talk to me , obviously . kate : probably a wrong number . stefano : somehow ... i do n't think so . [ scene_break ] nicole : brady ? are you home ? [ groans softly ] alone again ... [ ice cube clinks ] nicole : [ scoffs ] always alone . [ liquid trickles ] sydney : i mean , maybe i should just toss a coin . ca n't decide . nicole : pre - law , premed . not exactly a bad choice , is it , sydney ? sydney : no , i 'm really thinking about doing a double major . nicole : okay , i just -- i want you to leave some time for fun , okay ? i worry about you working so hard going to harvard . sydney : now , see , that is ... that 's just the difference between you and sami . god , what a drag she is . nicole : sydney . sydney : well , and then everything i do -- like being valedictorian of my class and everything ? i mean , she acts like she did it . but it was really you , mom . nicole : okay , just be careful , okay ? can you imagine what would happen if she heard you say that to me ? sydney : well , why should n't i ? i mean , you 've been more of a mother to me than she ever has . sometimes i think my life would have been just hell if i got stuck with her . i love you so much . nicole : oh , i love you too , sydney . oh ... one step at a time , nicole . one step at a time . [ scene_break ] sami : you know what ? you are good . i 'll give you that . rafe : oh , great . sami : [ laughs ] i did n't mean that . i meant you had me going . rafe : excuse me ? sami : well , i mean , earlier with nicole when you were angry , and you were threatening her . that was really you , and you were really angry . but , um , when you said you believe her and when you told me that i have nothing to worry about , that was just you trying to make me feel better . rafe : no , that was the truth . you got nothing to worry about . sami : come on , rafe . you do n't really believe that nicole just wants to act as some sort of crazy pseudo - godmother to sydney . rafe : no , i think that she is a classic example of give her an inch , and she 'll try and take a mile . sami : so why did you make her -- why did you make me believe that we 're gon na go along with it ? rafe : because we are ... for as long as it takes to make sure she ca n't ever touch you again .

[ door shuts ] brady : come on , father , let 's hear your , uh , confession . eric : brady , last -- last june , at the capital ... i was poisoned . i did n't just suddenly become ill . a masking agent was used . daniel said that it was ... it was undetectable . kristen used a highly sophisticated poison . brady : oh , yeah . you realize kristen might have a different side of -- side of the story , right ? hope : let 's just hear him out . eric : brady , when i recovered , i started having dreams , sexual dreams that were tormenting me almost every night . and that 's why i underwent hypnosis , and it 's only then that these dreams , these memories , made me realize that i was in bed -- in bed with a blonde woman . brady : this just keeps getting better . you 're making this up as -- roman : hey , hey , hey , brady -- brady : no , no , listen . if that 's true , how come you did n't say anything to anybody ? hope : okay , back up . brady : he did n't say anything to me . he did n't go confess it to another priest , that he was with kristen . you did n't say a damn word to anybody , eric ! eric : i did n't know that blonde was kristen ! kristen : of course it 's about you and me . it 's always been about you and me . marlena : you seduced my son to get at me ? kristen : go back . go back . go back . when you and i first met ... it was about john . remember him ? i loved him , but you wanted him for yourself , so you just cut me out of his life , like the good butcher you are . and then all those years later , when i loved brady . but you could n't let me have him either , could you ? so you just tried to slice me out of his life too , did n't you ? only guess what ? i was n't gon na let you get away with it . marlena : that video of you and eric was meant to hurt me ? kristen : all i wanted was to see your face as you watched your son , the priest , in the throes of passion , breaking his vow of chastity with the one woman you hated more than anybody . and then , when you were there on the floor , broken and destroyed , i was gon na run out of the room , laughing my happy head off . that 's all i wanted . but then brady told me that he loved me ... and he wanted to try again . and so i said , `` i do n't need her . i do n't need marlena . i do n't need revenge . i do n't want it . `` marlena : then why did you do it ? kristen : i did n't ! you did it , you stupid idiot ! i wanted to forget that it ever happened , but you could n't let me , could you ? you could n't miss the chance to cut kristen open one more time and watch her bleed ! but this time , you screwed up . you took my secret , and you showed the world that your son , the priest , is nothing but an amoral , sick sexual predator who would stoop so low as to have kinky sex with his brother 's fiancée . you did it ! you did it ! so you take responsibility and live with it ! my name is lee kaufman . nick : hey . how did it go ? did you -- did you meet with that agent ? yeah ? well , what 'd she say ? gabi : they want to sign me . nick : what ? gabi : and -- and if i say yes , my whole life is gon na change . nick : oh ... sonny : is this young lady gon na be a heartbreaker or what ?

nicole : sorry . daniel : no , no . you know , we both have been accused of things that are n't true . it 's not like the end of the world . we ca n't think about it . ca n't . in fact , do n't even think about eric . nicole : i 'm trying not to . i 've given up hope that he 'll actually believe me , right ? i mean , it 's like he lives in some kind of bubble . daniel : yeah , well , then it 's his loss , 'cause you 're a good friend to him . you 're a good friend to me . marlena : i know my son . he is good . kristen : he 's good all right . marlena : he 's a dedicated priest . and he 's a holy man who truly believes . and his only flaw is he believes that even a snake like you deserves a chance at redemption . kristen : i know he 'd like to get his horny , consecrated hands -- marlena : oh , my god ! and you want to get revenge on me by taking an innocent man and drugging him and lying to him ? kristen : whoa , whoa , whoa , mommy , mommy , mommy , mommy . did you really see that video ? did you see who was on her back , helpless ? did you see who had her pinned down like the very experienced sexual predator that he is ? marlena : no , no , i do n't believe that . i will never believe that . you see , when eric came back from the capital , he was so ill from you drugging him . kristen : oh , please . dream on . marlena : and he was anguishing . he was trying to find out exactly what happened to him , so he asked family and friends and the other priests . he even submitted himself to hypnosis . is that the kind of man that has anything to hide ? kristen : he `` submitted `` himself for hypnosis ? marlena : yes , he did . i put him under hypnosis ... and by the end of the session , i knew something really horrible had happened to him . i just did n't know what it was . now he 's going to know . i will make sure he knows what happened . i will make sure that everybody in this town knows what you did . eric : i finally realized that the desk clerk took a bribe from that mystery woman and put her right in the room next to mine . she was the one who poisoned me and climbed into bed with me . and -- roman : and then she filmed it , right ? eric : and daniel , he found out the name that she -- she registered under . hope : what was it ? roman : eric , come on . it 's okay . it 's okay . you 're not in this alone anymore . who was she ? eric : dad , i -- i do n't know why kristen would do this to me . it was -- it was a terrible coincidence , but she used the name `` fay taylor . `` hope : fay is nicole 's mother 's name . roman : and her sister 's taylor . brady : so you thought the blonde in your memories ... eric : was nicole . i accused her of terrible things . i called her a liar , and she denied it ... when she was innocent . i did n't believe her . nick : this is incredible . they 're going all out for you . gabi : yeah , i know , i know . and the agent , she kept saying how everything 's global now , and that i 'd be a brand . that they 'd make me do acting and modeling , and that i would represent products , and that they love that i 'm a mom , and that i have a really unique story , and that they would use that to make me , like , um -- like a household name . nick : wow ! whoa ! this -- this is , like , totally incredible . who would have thought , huh ?

[ scoffs ] man . kayla : yeah , so , listen , why do n't the two of you go to the pub and get something to eat ? and as soon as the test results come back , i will take my break , and i will deliver them to you personally . theresa : thank you . i 'll be there . i actually want to know the truth . i ca n't wait . kayla : okay . i will see you then . brady : thanks . hey , hey , hey . what do you say we do a reboot and , uh ... start again ? aiden : i did n't kill meredith , hope . but you do n't have to take my word for it . it 's all there ... online . enjoy . hope : aiden . aiden : oh , i almost forgot . i brought these for you ... for being a bit of a jerk earlier in the square . i 'm sorry . hope : please do n't go . do n't leave . aiden : okay . hope : first , thank you for these . but , aiden , you need to understand -- aiden : hope , i do . i - i ... i understand . look , if you wanted to run an online search on me , you would 've done it a long time ago . quite frankly , i 'm surprised you waited this long . hope : i know you 're a very private person . i wanted to respect that . aiden : well , thank you . but if you had n't seen me with bree tjaden or completely overreact with nicole , you probably still would n't know , so ... hope : probably . aiden : now you know why i thought nicole 's idea was n't so hot . my past as entertainment -- quite a concept , considering . well , i 'll go , let you get back to your reading . hope : no , wait . i do n't want to read about it . aiden : seriously ? you 'd rather stay in the dark ? hope : no . i want you to tell me what happened . abigail : the reason i came here was because i wanted to talk to you about something , something important . when you were upset that chad was the one who got me my job back ... i should have paid more attention to the way that made you feel , ben . ben : well , i did n't even give you a chance . i just started mouthing off , making it all about me , you know , and ... sometimes it just really hits home . i 've got to be the dumbest guy alive . abigail : what ? ben : i 'm serious . abigail , for the first time in my life , i have somebody who is smart and beautiful and just totally special . and when something pops up that makes me feel like i could lose that ... lose you ... i go crazy . abigail : well , i would probably do the same thing ... because i do n't want to lose you either . ben : really ? abigail : yes , really . yes , i 'm with someone who is so amazing , who cares about me , just me ... who is n't trying to manipulate things or play some kind of angle . you make me really happy , ben . and i want to be with you . jj : this is so cool . it must have been a ton of work . paige : not really . well , a little bit , yeah . but i did n't even think about it . all i thought about was you . i love it when we 're together . it just feels so perfect . eric : no worries . i 've already forgotten what you said . eve : thank you . eric : so you know what ? i 'll email you when i 'm done with those photos . eve : okay . thanks , eric , so much . eric : you 're welcome . brady : [ sighs ] you sure you do n't want something to eat ? theresa : i 'm not hungry ... slightly nauseated , actually , although it was worse this morning . i took one sip of coffee . i had to dump the rest down the drain . look , uh ... in case you 're wondering ... after kayla runs the pregnancy test and proves that i 'm pregnant , i 'll have her run a paternity test as well . brady : i ... i 'm sure that we do n't need that . maggie : when does parker get home ? daniel : um , a couple more days , yeah . maggie : oh , i miss that little guy . daniel : yeah . maggie : i bought him a couple of action figures at the toy store yesterday . daniel : mom , he has too many toys already . he does n't need -- maggie : you know what ? you are n't trying to talk me out of spoiling my grandson , are you ? please . 'cause it wo n't work . daniel : okay . maggie : [ laughs ] daniel : okay . maggie : honey , is something else bothering you ? you just seem all -- i do n't know -- out of focus today . daniel : well , you might as well know . it 's , um ... it 's about jennifer . aiden : there 's no way to sugarcoat it . meredith and i were ... well , unhappy would n't even begin to describe it . but we loved chase . so we both worked hard to keep the marriage going . maybe we should n't have . i - i do n't know . my god , the fights , you know ... neighbors on both sides of us in portland , our second home in puget sound , they could tell you how we fought ... every day ... just constantly talking about divorce . you know , never with each other , always with , you know , friend , co - worker , anyone who 'd listen , but ... it always came back to chase . neither one of us wanted to lose our son , you know , or break his heart by splitting up . you understand that all too well , i know . hope : i do . aiden : so we stuck it out ... although it became increasingly difficult . i guess we all find different ways , you know , to numb the pain . for meredith , it was alcohol ... which is why i rarely touch the stuff . i just -- i remember how it affected her , and i just became intolerant of that kind of behavior in other people , you know , this ... myself too . hope : right . aiden : and then ... at some point ... [ sighs ] i 'm not sure ... where or why ... although i can speculate why , of course ... she , um ... she had a gun . and , uh , you know , occasionally when she was drinking , she would just make these threats . you know , she was gon na take chase away . she was gon na use the gun on me . she was gon na use the gun on herself . the thing is , the ... the gun was never loaded ... until that night . my budget used to be a real downer . aiden : um ... we were on the sound that weekend . chase was sleeping . so meredith and i -- you know , we -- we got into it . i do n't remember what started it all . i do remember that ... the more we fought , the more she would be drinking and the angrier that made me . but , you know , she ... she would n't stop . just kept yelling at me , you know ... and accused me of being a bad father , bad husband , bad person . of course , the things i said to her , you know , uh ... beyond cruel . it was ugly . to say that to a woman i once loved ... she went into the bedroom ... she came out . she had a gun , you know . she started saying she was -- she was gon na kill herself . this is something she had said before to me , you know , and , uh ... but this time she started loading it in front of me . so i had to believe her . she raised the gun to her head ... and i panicked , you know . i - i - i did n't know what to do . i just said ... `` do n't . you 'll wake chase . `` that 's what i said . she had a gun to her head , and i said , `` do n't do it . you 'll wake our son . `` but the thing is ... it stopped her . it stopped her ... 'cause she ... [ exhales deeply ] she loved our son . she did . she did , but she -- she -- she hated me more ... because she put the gun back up to her head . now , this time , i jumped up to grab the gun , but she pulled back . she pulled the trigger . she shot herself . brady : i think the key to this whole thing is to take it one step at a time . theresa : right . brady : although ... if you 're pregnant , i assume you know marriage is not an option . theresa : trust me , i 'm still enough of a catholic to promise you this -- no abortion . brady : if you tried , i 'd fight you . theresa : so ... you want a child ? brady : yeah . i always have . theresa : just not like this , right ? daniel : mom ... i know jennifer means the world to you . and you have always been rooting for us to make a go of it . maggie : oh . daniel : but before she went down to see her mom for a few weeks , we had a talk . and we were both very frank , open , brutally honest . and i 'll have to admit , it is hard to accept . and i know it 's gon na be hard for you to accept too , but we decided ... it 's -- it 's over . maggie : daniel , no . come on , now , you ca n't give up . you got to give it a try . daniel : i 'm sorry . maggie : oh , honey , i 'm sorry too . i 'm sorry too . [ cell phone vibrating ] paige : what 's wrong ? jj : nothing , nothing . i just , uh -- i just got to check this real quick , and i might have to make a call , but i 'll be right back . paige : well , ca n't you just -- [ doorbell rings ] paige : uh , i 'll get it . brady : being a father is something i 've thought about a lot . i love kids . [ chuckles ] it 's just -- the timing has never been , uh ... theresa : do n't even think about trying to take my baby away from me . brady : i would n't do that . listen , i would never do that , okay ? if you are pregnant , we will find a way . we will figure out a way to raise this child . but we 'll do it together . daniel : i 'll tell you , one of the things i will not regret , ever ... knowing jennifer ... loving her . i mean , i think anyone who 's lucky enough to have jennifer horton in their life ... is better for it . maggie : i agree . daniel : right ? maggie : yeah . daniel : and now i just -- i have got to focus on what i do have , what blessings i do have . i have -- i got melanie . i have you . maggie : [ chuckles ] daniel : and i got that little man . i got my man ... parker . i - i got a family . maggie : oh . daniel : right ? maggie : yes , you bet you do . daniel : oh , and i would n't trade it for anything . mm - mm . maggie : sounds like you 're gon na be all right . daniel : eventually , yeah . [ chuckles ] yeah . maggie : [ chuckles ] daniel ? daniel : hmm ? maggie : what is that ? that , next to the toy ? daniel : oh . maggie : i do n't think i 've ever seen you with a money clip . daniel : no , no , that 's jj 's . he borrowed my coat , and it was in the pocket . maggie : oh . daniel : probably -- well , i guess i should probably drop by the house and ... and give it to him . jj : is there somebody at the door ? eve : hello , uh , jj . jj : hello , ms . larson . eve : i , uh , want to talk to your mom . is she around ? jj : no . uh , she , uh -- she 's visiting her mom , but , uh ... she probably wo n't be back for , like , a week or so . eve : oh , well , that 's too bad , 'cause i just wanted to , you know , talk to her about something , but ... paige : you came all the way over here just to talk to her ? eve : no , actually , i did n't . that stupid lawyer sent her royalty check to us by mistake , so ... here , i 've got it right here . i wanted to give it to her in person , but will you make sure that she gets it ? jj : sure . eve : okay . great . hey . paige : huh ? eve : why did you casually blow off your internship today , hmm ? paige , i asked you a question , sweetheart . paige : this has got to be , like , fate . eve : excuse me ? paige : it is ! it was meant to be ! mom , remember how i said i wanted us to have a fresh start ? well , i was actually just about to tell jj how good things were , you know , with you and me . and i want it to be that way for all of us . eve : well , honey , that 's -- that 's very -- that 's a really wonderful goal . but it 's actually a little too idealistic , actually , because -- paige : no , mom , i 'm serious . it can work , i mean , if we try , if we make an effort . i really think the problem is , is you and jj just have n't gotten to know each other well enough . here , okay ... i think we should all go out and talk it through . it can work . i know it can . please ? aiden : thank god chase was a heavy sleeper . guess he had to be , you know . i mean , every time he went to bed , meredith and i would start with the screaming and the yelling and ... although , this time , he woke up ... from the sirens . he was crying , you know , as ... as if he already knew . hope : did he see her ? did he see his mom ? aiden : no . no , when the emergency crews got there , i ... was holding him . it 's all i could do , is just hold him . finally , my sister got there . she ... she took him away , so then the police could interview me and ... deal with meredith 's body . they let me go the next morning . there were no -- no charges ... although ... hope : though , what ? aiden : [ sighs ] well , when the police first got there , things looked pretty bad for me . um ... look , i 'm an attorney . i know exactly what not to do . i did n't protect myself ... and i should have ... for chase 's sake , you know , but i - i - i could n't help myself . you know , yeah ... i tried stopping the bleeding . then i quickly realized it was hopeless , you know . so i ... i was holding meredith , and i took the gun from her hand , and i put it down . now my prints were all over it . [ chuckles ] but i just kept thinking -- you know , i just kept thinking that i did n't -- hope : you did n't want her to die alone . aiden : you know , she ... she looked up at me ... and her last words to me , to anyone ... `` i hate you . `` [ scoffs ] i just kept holding her and ... saw the light go out . just sitting there , thinking ... `` this is what it 's come to . `` you know , it 's ... it 's sad . i feel like part of me died too . ben : i 'm going to make you a promise . i promise you that i am not going to let anyone or anything ruin this for us . paige : okay , the main thing is we need to put everything that 's happened in the past and leave it there , right ? eve : absolutely . jj : definitely . paige : okay , see , we already agree on one thing . this is so good ! we 're gon na find a way to -- oh ! eve : oh , honey ! oh , my gosh , did it burn you ? paige : it 's all over my blouse . i 'm such a klutz . eve : well , you know what ? take this into the bathroom and wet it with some cold water and just sponge it out , and then i 'll take care of it when we get home , okay , sweetheart ? paige : i 'll be right back . actually , mom , can you come with me ? i want to make sure i do it right . eve : oh , uh , sure . sure , sure , sure . come on . jj : eve 's not going to say anything . i 'm not going to say anything . it 'll be fine . daniel : hey . just the guy i was looking for . aiden : hope , you , uh ... you are the only person i 've ever talked to about what happened those last few minutes . aside from the police , you 're about the only person i 've ever talked to about any of it . hope : it 's a terribly painful memory to live with . aiden : it is ... mostly because my son , you know . because meredith and i -- we just would n't , or we could n't , stop the constant battles ... it cost chase his mother . hope : how much does chase remember about that night ? aiden : oh ... very little . we moved a couple times , so there was no one around to tell him . hope : has he asked any questions ? aiden : no . never . i 'm not sure if it 's because he does n't know the right questions to ask or ... he knows that the answers would be too hard for me to give . maybe he 's the brave one , you know . maybe he 's the one protecting me all these years . he 's such a ... he 's such a good boy , you know . i just do n't know how i could let him down like that , you know . i 'm not gon na let that happen . [ sobbing ] brady : you know , daniel and chloe are doing a pretty good job with parker . you know , we could use what they do as a guide . theresa : yeah , but parker 's not in school yet . brady : right , i know , just nursery school , but ... you 're right -- things are still flexible . once he hits kindergarten , there has to be one primary parent . theresa : yeah , and there 's the whole problem with work too . brady : yeah , but i know -- i mean , i know maggie and victor , they 'll ... theresa : the whole free world 's going to be in this kid 's life , right ? brady : do n't worry about that . i wo n't let anybody push you out , theresa , okay ? we 'll do this as a team .

[ scene_break ] tony : what do you mean , your brother wants you to kill someone for him ? cassie : well , he did n't come right out and say that ... i just think that may have been what he meant . tony : but why would you think that ? cassie : because rex thinks if somebody else gets murdered while he 's behind bars , then ... it will prove his innocence . tony : he 's absolutely right . [ scene_break ] mimi : shawn , what are you talking about ? how could rex possibly kill someone else ? he is in jail , remember ? he 's locked up . shawn - d : he 's going to have someone else do it . mimi : someone else ? who would he get to -- shawn - d : cassie . i just saw her at the police station . i was getting a distinct impression that rex was pressuring her into doing something . mimi : to kill someone ? oh , god , you are so losing it . shawn - d : no , no , just think about it . if someone else dies while he 's behind bars , that 'll pretty much prove his innocence , wo n't it ? mimi : well , yeah , i guess , but -- shawn - d : but -- but nothing . it is the only thing right now that can clear his name , and rex knows that . mimi : do you really think cassie would ... kill to save her brother ? shawn - d : considering who they are and where they come from , there is no doubt in my mind .

[ scene_break ] sami : one of those shooters was aiming at me . lucas : that 's just crazy . you were giving stefano exactly what he wants . nobody in your own family would ever hurt you . sami : well , i do n't know . maybe one of the bullets missed its mark , then . lucas : well , that 's more like it , but stay away from the hospital , because whoever took a shot at e.j . will probably go back to finish the job . sami : if i do n't go to the hospital and act like e.j .

[ scene_break ] bo : i do n't want to think of roman as a suspect . it makes me feel alone on this case . hope : i have an idea . it 's a brilliant idea . i think you should bring shawn in on the case . technically , he 's working for the department . bo : i did bring him in . i brought him here to the church with me . i took him over to lucas ' for that questioning . then i sent him back to the station to write up a report . hope : how did it go ? bo : he did a good job on the report -- better than some of the officers who write them for years . the thing is , he suddenly disappeared without telling anyone . hope : what happened ? bo : claire apparently had a minor accident . she got burned . hope : oh , my god . is she all right ? bo : i think so . yeah . but belle took her to the emergency room . shawn found out about it and -- bam -- he was gone . all he had to do was find a superior , get permission , tell him that he had some kind of emergency ... hope : it was his daughter . if it was ciara , you 'd be gone like that . bo : if he wants to be on the police force , he 's got to follow rules . hope : you are tough .

[ scene_break ] philip : you tried to murder sami ? kate : no . i mean , i was aiming at both of them -- first e.j . , then sami . but when the gun went off , it was pointed in the air , so there 's no way that bullet hit e.j . philip : if the cops find the bullet ... they can match it to the gun . you 'll be charged with attempted murder . kate : it was an accident . philip : i do n't get it . e.j . marrying sami -- that was a favor to you . kate : i know it sounds twisted , does n't it ? but i was furious at e.j . , and i was thinking if i got rid of e.j . , then lucas could marry sami . then he 'd be happy , and he 'd forgive me . philip : murder -- that 's a pretty extreme way to get your son 's attention . kate : i did n't go through with it , did i ? i could n't go through with it , not even for lucas . what i 'm guilty of is loving my children too much , and what do i get for it in return ? not a hell of a lot .

[ scene_break ] bo : roman , hold on . are the surgeons going in again ? roman : well , the surgeon said the slug did damage to his spine . but it did n't completely sever it , so another operation is too risky . bo : ah , great . so we 'll never get a ballistics match . roman : it does n't sound like it , no . hope : what about the other bullets ? bo : i 'd like to get my hands on kate 's gun . roman : well , i would n't waste a whole lot of time on kate . i mean , she 's not a killer . bo : she does n't have an alibi . roman : neither do i . bo : she threatened junior , and then she dumps a gun and conveniently forgets where . roman : she hates sami , not e.j . bo : i think she hates them both . i 'd like to take a look in her place . roman : did you call a judge for a warrant ? bo : yeah , first thing this morning , and he says i need more , but if an old friend of hers happens to offer to take her home and gets invited inside , takes a look around , sees what he sees ... roman : are you asking me to spy on kate ? bo : did i say that ? hope : i did n't hear you . roman : yeah , you kind of did . bo , if you think she 's a killer , then you find a way to get in her place , because , no , i 'm not gon na spy on kate .

ej : you were an important part of their life once . i 'm not gon na begrudge them time with you . rafe : i appreciate that . ej : they do n't know how much i despise you ... nor do they have to . rafe : likewise . kayla : so apply this ointment twice a day , all right ?

maggie : something happened ... at the wedding . something so unbelievably shocking and cruel and -- daniel : wha -- did brady call it off again ? kristen ? maggie : no . no . someone else made sure that it happened in the most devastating way possible ... for all concerned . my victor . victor ! brady : you did this . victor : i did . brady : when did you find out ? victor : today , just before you left for the church . brady : that 's why -- that 's why you wanted to talk to me , right ? about the video ? victor : i did n't want it to come out this way . but there 's no getting through to you on the subject of kristen , today or any other day . you just refused to see the truth . brady : [ scoffs ] victor : now , i know how much you wanted to be with this woman , so i gave her a chance to explain her actions . if i did n't expose her publicly , she would have hypnotized you into believing her all over again . there was no other way . if i had to do it all over again , i 'd do exactly the same thing . now , you can hate me till the day i die , but i need you to know that i did it all for you . hope : nicole ... eric gave me an informal statement . he told me what happened to him , what he believes happened to him that night . i 'm really hoping you can confirm certain facts . nicole : where is he ? where 's eric ? hope : i left him at the church ... praying . eric : it 's all starting to come back to me . the day that you came into my hospital room to check in on me . the night that i got sick at the hotel . kristen : i was so concerned about you . eric : and then you showed up at my rectory , asking for a ticket to the school opening . and that 's when you -- you asked me if i ever knew what it was like to lose everything . kristen : you do know now . eric : because you knew you were trying to destroy my life while you were just licking your lips , waiting for the perfect moment . kristen : are you sure you were n't licking your lips after all those years of being sex - starved ? eric : you know what ? you did everything you could to avoid even working with me on that scholarship program . you did n't even want to counsel with me before the wedding . you were trying to avoid me in every way . kristen : you 're right . because you made me sick , and i just wanted to get away from you . eric : yeah ? you know what ? no . because you knew what you were doing . you knew you could n't lie your way out of this . i 'm not as stupid as my brother ! kristen : do n't you talk about brady that way ! look , i understand why you have to demonize me this way . i understand that you feel guilty because of breaking your vows . you made yourself sick about it , did n't you ? you just wanted so badly to forget it ever happened , did n't you ? well , i ca n't forget ! and you talk about being sick ? i was your victim , father ! eric : you are not the victim here ! i was drugged . kristen : you did n't act like a person who 'd been drugged , that 's for sure . eric : yeah , but we were also videoed in that hotel bed . it was n't me . so let 's really think about who it really was . let 's see ... you ! you did this against my will , without my consent ! why ? why do you hate me so much ? kristen : i do n't . eric : you were so desperate to speak to the bishop after the school consecration . why ? what were you gon na do , show him the video ? you were gon na give him the video that day , were n't you ? thought brady might forgive you . you were hoping that he might give you a chance to get back everything you 've lost . kristen : i did n't lose -- i did n't lose anything . i had my love , my life , my entire future ripped from me , and somebody had to pay ! and that was you . let he ... who has not sinned ... cast the first stone . does that sound familiar ? but hey , you know what ? do n't let that stop you . because the only person that 's holier than thou is your mother . eric : this was n't about me , was it ? it was all about hurting her . kristen : oh , god , you know what ? marlena could be skinned alive , weenie- roasted on a spit ... she would n't experience half the pain that she 's caused me . do you know that the only thing i 've ever wanted in my whole life , ever , was to be a wife and a mother ? i did n't have grand ambitions . i just wanted to be a wife and a mother . but she took that away from me . not once , not twice , but three times . and do you know the only thing worse than not having a child ... it 's watching your precious angel just be destroyed and humiliated and suffering . oh , do n't wait around , father . you 're not gon na hear an act of contrition cross these lips , because i do n't have any regrets . eric : you have no regrets losing brady ? kristen : you were kind to me . i listened to you . i did . i repented , said i was sorry . i tried to do the right thing . look what it 's gotten me . eric : what ? what ? the right thing ? you acted out of pure selfishness ! when i started having those memories , you just stood back and you let nicole take the blame when you knew that she was innocent . kristen : [ laughs ] oh , my god , if nicole is innocent , then ... i 'm mother teresa . she can go to hell . so can you . nicole : why would kristen do something like that ? hope : i do n't know . why does that woman do anything she does ? there a lot of questions she needs to answer . nicole : then eric must have told you that night at the capital he believed he was drugged and then ... sexually assaulted . hope : and because his memory was fuzzy , and because you were there that night , he thought it was you that did this to him . nicole : oh , god , i - i was -- i was hoping what he was remembering was n't -- was n't real . [ cell phone ringing ] nicole : i mean , how -- how could somebody do something like that to him ? how could he think that i could do something like that to him ? hope : well , i 'm so sorry , but i 've got to go . will you be okay ? nicole : yeah . hope : okay . nicole : oh , my god . i did n't do it ! i did n't do it ! eric : i trusted you ! i loved you . but not the way you wanted it . i believed in you . i believed in you . how could you do that to me ? jordan : everything 's fine . caroline : oh , good . well , you know what ? my memory is not what it used to be , but i believe kayla told me that you 're not from salem . jordan : that 's right . caroline : uh - huh . well , what do you think of our little town ? jordan : i like it . [ both chuckle ] [ laughter ] rafe : oh ... kayla : where is eric ? sami : i do n't know . i wanted to find him , but then johnny fell , we had to come here . kayla : i ca n't believe that happened to him . it just makes me sick to my stomach . those damn dimeras ! what did ej have to say for his sister ? sami : he 's upset . aunt kayla , he 's as upset as we are . i mean , look , if he knew what his sister was up to , he would have done something to prevent it . kayla : really ? and you believe that ? sami : yes , i do . maggie : if victor had to do this ... why did it have to be so public ? why did he have to make marlena be the one that -- daniel : mom , you still have n't told me what -- what was on the video that was so awful . maggie : kristen ! kris -- kristen ... she was having sex with fa -- eric . daniel : uh ... what ? maggie : yeah . to save brady , victor let marlena sacrifice her own son . victor : there is one thing that i 'm sorry about . sorry that you had to be hurt this way . but there was just no other way . now , before i go , i have one more thing to say . and it 's not `` i told you so . `` it 's i love you . brady : i know you do . and you were right . thank you . thank you . harold : ms. dimera 's not here . hope : i 'd like to see for myself , if you do n't mind . harold : do you have a warrant ? hope : no . but i 'll get one . oh , and , harold , when she does return , you tell her she can run and she can hide , but i 'll find her . [ running footsteps ] kristen : ah ! caroline : here you are . jordan : oh , i did n't order . caroline : oh , i know that . i know . that 's rafe 's favorite dessert -- dulce de leche cake . [ chuckles ] if you go by the hospital , do you think you could give it to him ? jordan : i 'll make sure rafe gets it . caroline : thanks . jordan : you 're very fond of him , are n't you ? caroline : well , you did n't hear this from me , but when you get to know rafe hernandez , you know , underneath , you know , the tough - guy machismo image , this -- he 's really as sweet as he can be . he 's got a heart of gold . johnny : guess what i was for halloween . rafe : hmm ... luigi ? johnny : nope . rafe : what ? really ? johnny : i was an fbi guy , just like you . rafe : buddy ... that 's what i 'm talkin ' about . sami : so -- ej : is there a problem here ? kayla : yeah , yeah . the problem is your family . sami : aunt kayla ... kayla : you know , this is just gon na kill your grandmother when she finds out about this . do you know , has anybody spoken to her ? sami : no . i - i do n't know , actually . kayla : well , if she finds out from somebody else that eric was -- sami : i 'll tell her . okay ? i should tell her anyway . he 's my brother . i should be the one to explain to grandma what happened , and i -- i will do it as gently as i can . kayla : that 's what i 'm worried about . sami : aunt -- huh . ej : you want me to go with you , or is that gon na make it worse ?

anything ? maggie : uh - uh . this really is n't about me . daniel : you just walked out on your husband , you 're allowed to be upset . maggie : i knew exactly who victor was when i married him . i 've always known how ruthless he can be . why did i think that anything would change ? daniel : okay , you know that this was n't about getting kristen . this was about protecting his grandson -- you know that . maggie : oh ... hmm . i think it was some of both . there had to have been another way . what he has done is gon na scar brady and eric forever . daniel : the truth was gon na be very difficult no matter how it came out , mom . maggie : yeah , but to use the mother as an instrument to her son 's humiliation ? oh ... that is so cruel ! i do n't understand . i just do n't understand . daniel : of course you do n't , because you could never do something like that . you could n't even begin to know how . hey , it 's okay . maggie : [ crying ] oh ... oh ... brady : this is how i saw her . businesswoman , social worker . victor : seductress . victim . brady : i saw her as vulnerable . i - i thought she loved me the way i truly loved her . thought i was right , and i thought everyone else was wrong . victor : i 'm sure there was a part of her that truly loved you , brady . she just was n't capable of being the woman you needed her to be . you found that out once . brady : i felt like such a fool then . after i took her back how was i supposed to admit i was wrong a second time ? i needed to see the looks on those people 's faces . and i understand why you did what you did . marlena wanted to get back at her ... and you just wanted to save my life . there 's one more thing i want you to help me with . let 's track down that miserable bitch . nicole : there must be a private circle in hell for someone who could drug and rape a priest . i would hate to be you on judgment day . kristen : i do n't want to be you either . so why do n't you just take your righteous indignation and shove it ! leave me the hell alone . nicole : are you kidding me ? kristen : get off of me ! nicole : you ruined my life ! kristen : you did that by yourself . nicole : you ruined eric 's life ! kristen : well , then , maybe he 'll leave the priesthood , and you can make him miserable . how 's that ? nicole : how dare you . if you had ever been violated like that -- kristen : what ? are you kidding ? nicole : you threw eric 's celibacy in my face , and then you taunted me about having something that i would never have . and you let eric blame me for something you did . kristen : maybe you should have just tried a little harder to get into that cassock . then you could have had what i had . go take a peek at the video , nicole . see for yourself that the flesh was weak and the spirit was very willing . nicole : you sick , evil -- your scrawny flesh is weaker than my two fists . i 'm not gon na wait for you to go to hell . i 'm gon na make your life a living hell right here , right now ! what 's up with grandma ? jordan : well , i will have to bring rafe over in person to and thank you for the cake . caroline : oh , well , that will be good to see both of you . okay , bye . what happened to you ? hmm ? ej : he had a little , uh , jungle gym accident . sami : but aunt kayla took great care of him , of course . caroline : oh , boy , that 's good . you now , i have a special dessert in the kitchen . uh , if you have n't had wedding cake . sami : he has n't . johnny : no . caroline : no ? sami : [ laughs ] yes , you may have some cake . caroline : tell tom to give you the slice with the most icing . okay . samantha jane , i know that look . what 's the bad news ? daniel : here . maggie : oh . thank you . [ chuckles ] daniel : two . maggie : listen , i do n't want you to worry about my problems . you have enough of your own . daniel : please do n't let what happened with theresa stress you out . please -- maggie : oh , that 's something else that does n't make any sense to me . daniel : i know , i know , and i wish i could explain , but -- maggie : you do n't have to explain . not to me . ever . i just want you to know that i 'm always in your corner , no matter what . daniel : thank you . [ knock on door ] eric : where 's nicole ? kristen : why are you defending eric ? you do n't think he 's man enough to defend himself ? nicole : i know eric better than anyone . kristen : i do n't think you do , actually . nicole : and he is absolutely committed to his vocation . kristen : not anymore . nicole : and he would never do what you are trying to say he did . kristen : maybe not with you . nicole : oh , my -- kristen : seriously , why are you defending him ? he treats you like crap . i mean , he called you a lying whore , nicole . you only see the best in him . well , guess what ? he only sees the worst in you , honey . it 's not so hard to understand , actually . 'cause i think there is a private circle in hell reserved for you . you know , for women that use their dead , unborn babies to send their romantic rivals to prison . you know that one ? nicole : i paid for what i did to jennifer . kristen : [ chuckles ] when ? nicole : every day of my life . kristen : please . nicole : and now i 'm gon na make you pay for hurting the people i care about . kristen : are you talking about eric and brady ? did n't they throw you away like the piece of trash you are ? nicole : oh , it 's killing you that you ca n't have brady , is n't it ? kristen : we 'll see . nicole : we 'll see . what planet are you living on ? it is over . and even if brady was stupid enough to take you back again , you 're going to jail . because you ca n't lie your way out of this . everyone knows what you did , you slut ! kristen : i do n't think so . i do n't think so , because you know what ? there 's one truth that you will never know . i 'm referring to what really happened between eric and me on that momentous night . and that 's one detail i know is gon na haunt you , drive you crazy the rest of your stupid , lonely little life . nicole : no ! ow ! i will chase you to hell before you ever get away from me . rafe : well , i saw you having a rather heated conversation with sami earlier . did something happen ? kayla : oh , jordan . i thought you 'd gone home for the night . jordan : well , i did , but your mother asked me to deliver this . rafe : dulce de leche cake ? jordan : how 'd you know ? rafe : [ chuckles ] kayla : wow . your physical therapist brings you room service . you rate . rafe : mm - hmm . kayla : i 'm gon na go . you enjoy that . have a good night . bye . jordan : here you go . rafe : you really did n't have to come back here for this , you know . jordan : well , i did n't want to disappoint mrs. brady . rafe : oh . you know what i think ? jordan : what ? rafe : you were hoping i 'd share . jordan : well , i did bring two forks . rafe : oh , of course you did . oh , my -- always a plan . jordan : ooh , yeah . this looks good . rafe : it 's nothing but the best . jordan : make room . rafe : mm . mmm . jordan : wow . rafe : oh , my god . oh , it 's too bad johnny 's not here to have some of this . this is his favorite . jordan : why ? was johnny here ? rafe : yeah . fell on the playground . got a couple stitches . jordan : oh , poor guy . rafe : he 's tough . really . it was good seeing him . actually i was worried . i had n't seen him since ... you know . he was great . jordan : well , of course he was . you know , despite your obvious lack of charm and the fact that you are a frosting hog . rafe : mm . jordan : a lot of people in this town seem to really like you . caroline : eric would never break his vows . sami : i know that , grandma . caroline : how can you be so sure ? what if this thing was -- what -- photo -- what do you -- photoshopped ? or maybe -- maybe kristen hired someone to look like eric . well , does the name susan banks ring a bell to you ? sami : grandma , i wish ... i wish something like that were possible , but it 's not . eric said that kristen had drugged him and assaulted him . caroline : your sister is vile . she 's evil ! sami : i know , okay ? and i know that you 're upset . but i am upset and ej is upset . he is not his sister . this is not his fault . caroline : i 'm not blaming ej . i 'm just saying that kristen , we know , is ... no morals . no morals , and we know who taught her to be like that . sami : ej knows what his father is capable of , okay ? we will know . caroline : [ scoffs ] brady was in love with her . and she destroyed brady and eric showing a video like that at the wedding . sami : actually , uh ... ej : actually it was n't kristen who played the video . caroline : well , who else could have done such a thing ? sami : it was my mom . victor : she tries to get on a plane , a train , a slow boat to china , do whatever you have to to drag her back here to salem . brady : i do n't know , club tbd , horton square , try 'em all . she does n't have any friends besides daniel and jennifer in this town . just -- just let me know . hope : [ knocks ] hey , guys . i 'm so sorry to interrupt , but i 'll try and make this as quick as i can . i need statements from both of you . victor : you 're here being a transcriptionist when kristen is out there probably escaping as we speak ? hope : victor , believe me , we 're doing everything we can to bring her in . if we can prove the charges eric 's making she 's going away for a very long time . eric : like i said , i need to see nicole . daniel : i 'm sorry , she 's -- eric : i know i should 've called , but -- maggie : i told daniel what happened . eric : you 're right . you said i 'd regret what i did to nicole , and i do more than ... ever . i need to see her before i do anything else . kristen : damn you , nicole .

paige : no . but it 's probably just as well . eve : why do you say that , honey ? paige : look , mom , i think it 's time that we were both really honest with each other . i just figured out what happened last night . brady : i 'm going . theresa : look , brady , hey i do n't know what happened , okay ? but i did n't and i would n't lie about this because there would be no point . like you said , i would 've been found out . brady : you were found out . theresa : i really thought that i was pregnant . it would n't make any sense for me to do what i did if i did n't really , really believe it . brady : you know what , maybe i will stay -- i 'll stay . theresa : thank you . brady : you see , i do n't know what 's going on in that head of yours , but i know what 's going on in mine ... and it 's time you heard what i had to say . you see , it does n't matter whether i believe you or not -- i do n't know if this whole thing was a stunt or a mistake . it does n't matter what it was . what matters is i need you to do me a big favor . theresa : anything . brady : stay away from me . stay out of my life . i know that you have family here , i understand that , okay ? but as i stated before -- and apparently it bears repeating again -- i do n't want to cross paths with you , theresa . it 's not good for me . you 're a bad drug . and i do n't do drugs anymore . theresa : brady -- brady : list -- shh , shh ! kayla gave us good news today , okay ? you 're not pregnant . thank god you 're not pregnant . i 'm not ready to have a kid right now , and i know that you are not ready . but thank god this kid is n't going to have to go through the hell of having us as parents . theresa : you 're talking about me . brady , you would be a great dad . brady : not with you as the mother , theresa , because the kid would recognize that i loathed you , and that would not be a good environment for the kid to grow up in . so this is where we go our separate ways . you stay out of my way , or you will be sorry . good - bye . maggie : i was talking to victor about thanksgiving , and he started going on about the greek isles , and jets , and everything and i -- i just put my foot down . i said thanksgiving is about family , a house full of people , football . and we want both of you and the kids there . that is , if you do n't have any plans , aiden . or if hope does n't mind subjecting you to our family en masse . hope : thank you . maggie : i just thought it would be a nice way for aiden to meet the whole family . there will be a quiz afterwards . hope : uh , no , not joking . there will be a quiz . aiden : okay . maggie : but i mean if you and chase have other plans or if you think he 'll be overwhelmed , um -- i understand completely . sometimes our family is a bit much for me . aiden : oh , no , no , no , chase would love that . nothing two old bachelors like better than a house full of people . with football , of course . maggie : wonderful ! hope , uh -- i hope you do n't mind bringing the cranberry sauce . hope : the one that i buy every year . maggie : i do n't care for cranberries . and i can tell , by the way the two of you are looking at each other , that you 're just trying to be nice . that you do n't really , really want to talk about cranberries . so i get the distinct feeling that my timing is -- what 's the word ? sucks ! eve : look , i do n't understand , honey . what are you talking about ? paige : the coat , mom . the coat that daniel was just wearing now . it 's the same coat from last night , the one that was on the chair in the kitchen . the coat that the guy you slept with was wearing . eve : you know what , honey , i really do n't think we should talk about it here , okay ? paige : you know , you can skip the evasions , mom . jj just told me what happened . eve : what ? paige : it was daniel , was n't it ? that 's why the two of you were acting so weird just now . eve : jj just -- wait , wait -- jj told you that ? paige : not in so many words , but he did tell me that daniel and his mom split up for good . i do understand it . you just found out you could n't have your surgery . he was really upset about the breakup , and you both felt all alone and ran into each other at the hospital -- eve : no , honey , no , no , no . you 're completely wrong here . okay ? absolutely wrong . paige : i 'm not blaming you . i just think we should be truthful with each other . eve : no , no , the truth ? daniel was n't anywhere near our apartment last night , honey . and i could see where you could maybe think that . i mean , it 's pretty obvious , but that coat -- it may have looked like the coat , and it might have even been the same brand . but i can tell you that is just some kind of crazy , bizarre coincidence , and that is it . paige : mom , you can tell me the truth . eve : the truth , let me just -- the truth here -- really , i learned the hard way , honey , that you do n't want to come close to any of jennifer horton 's cast - offs or hand - me - downs , not now , not ever . so your assumption that the guy that i was with was daniel are completely wrong here . paige : okay , then who was it ? jj : first , i want to thank you for returning my money clip . daniel : it 's no big deal . jj : yeah , see , you always do something nice , and then you say it 's no big deal , but it is to me . you know , you 've been great to me so many times on so many levels , man . you 're always helping me out . daniel : yeah , well , do you need some help now ? jj : yeah . yeah , i really , really do . maggie : maybe this year you 'll finally have something to be thankful for . bye ! aiden : bye - bye . i really like her . hope : should i call her back ? i do n't think she really had a previous engagement . aiden : mm . hope : i think she just sensed that we wanted to be alone . aiden : mm . hope : and to that end , i believe you were about to suggest something . aiden : yeah , i , um -- hope : what ? did the moment pass while we were talking about cranberry sauce or relish or whatever i was supposed to bring ? aiden : no , not for me . just worried what i 'm about to suggest might seem a little crude . hope : you 're afraid you 'll offend my delicate sensibilities ? aiden : mm . okay , then i 'm just gon na go for it . i want to be with you , and i want you to come with me now . will you ? jj : daniel , i always do the wrong thing , and i always make the wrong choice . daniel : no , no , no , no , not always and not in a while . i think you 're being hard on yourself . jj : no , no , no , i 'm not . it 's just -- the thing is , is that you think that i 'm this kid that 's turned everything around , but the truth is , is that i have screwed up worse than i ever have . daniel : with paige ? wait a minute . this is about eve , is n't it ? eve : do i need to state the obvious here and remind you that you are speaking to your mother ? paige : but -- eve : and not listening . honey , that coat is everywhere right now . it 's in all the department stores and online retailers . in fact , i know that i saw it right in the window of barron 's department store right in the middle of town , hmm ? paige : i - i saw it there too . you 're right . i 'm sorry . eve : yeah , it 's -- honey , i made a really big mistake . the worst part is , you found out about it , but you know we ca n't move past this or move on if we keep playing `` who 's in the bedroom with mother ? `` paige : i know , it 's just , if it was daniel and jj ever found out about it -- eve : it was n't daniel , okay ? and i know that i am in no position to ask any favors , but can we kind of keep this private , all right ? i mean , it 's bad enough that you know , but if you interrogate daniel and ask him 20 questions about it -- paige : no , i wo n't . i wo n't . eve : okay . paige : i wo n't . eve : okay . and i tell you what . you should n't ask me any more about it either because it 's not good for our relationship either . paige : just as long as ... eve : what ? paige : it 's no one i know . eve : it 's absolutely nobody . anne : you could n't possibly expect that imperious , you know , sourpuss aunt of yours to have your back on this . i mean , she lives to deliver bad news , and then you drag her into this ? theresa : but i dragged her into it because i was pregnant ! and everyone knows that kayla never lies . so i just thought that if brady heard from her that i was pregnant , then he 'd have to believe it . anne : okay , but you were n't pregnant . theresa : i was ! i took the test ! anne : okay , well , do you have the test ? you have that little stick or whatever ? because , you know , if you did , you could use it to prove that you were n't lying about it . theresa : no , i - i do n't have the damn thing . i - i do n't know . i guess i must have emptied my trash last night because -- i do n't know . i do n't remember doing that , but i must have 'cause it 's not here and -- [ sighs ] just everything from last night is such a blur . except i knew for a fact that i was pregnant with brady 's baby . anne : right , and then to celebrate , you got high , huh ? and you took out the trash ? honey -- theresa : anne , do you think -- do you think that maybe i could have lost my baby ? anne : i mean , i think -- i think you would 've known . would n't you have ? aiden : well , you know , the kids are in school . that gives us a couple of stolen hours . i really like your smile . all right . straight out of mad men , how about i get us a room ? and the smile is gone . hope : no , i was just , um -- you 're not going to believe this . aiden : hmm ? hope : you know that night at the saint luke 's gala ? aiden : of course i do . hope : i was kind of being impulsive , and , actually , you know , as a matter of fact , it was right before we danced that night , i , um -- i made a bid on a spa / hotel package at the salem inn . aiden : mm - hmm . hope : i won . i was just thinking it 's kind of like -- aiden : kismet . hope : yeah . aiden : yeah . hope : i was thinking about giving it to dad and julie for christmas . aiden : mm . hope : but maybe you and i could put it to better use . aiden : hmm . hope : what do you say ? aiden : i 'm gon na have to think about this one for a little bit , hope . good lord , hope , what do you think i 'd say ? hope : [ chuckles ] aiden : let 's go . jj : no , it 's -- it 's not got anything to do with eve . why would you say that ? daniel : well , i know how hard she 's been on you in the past , and just now she seemed really tense around you , and it just seemed like -- i do n't know , like something was off , jj . jj : she did n't seem tense to me . daniel : now , if she is saying more things about you or if something happened , jj -- jj : no , no , no , it 's -- it 's got nothing to do with her . it 's -- you were right before . it 's about paige . daniel : okay . jj : i did n't take your advice before and tell paige what happened between my dad and my aunt kayla . daniel : and she found out . jj : yeah , in a bad way . in a really bad way . daniel : well , i mean , god , she 's smart . she has to understand why it was so hard for you to talk about . jj : she did n't at first , but then , uh , she came around . daniel : okay , all right . then what are you so worried about ? jj : i was n't really cool in the moment . i sort of overreacted . daniel : okay , so you lost your cool ? but then you managed to clear the air with her , so why do n't you just do the right thing and let it all go ? no , i 'm serious , jj . there is no reason that you ca n't just start over with her . i mean , sometimes , the best thing to do is simply move forward . jj : you know , yeah . maybe you 're right . i can do that . what 's done is done , right ? eve : so , to reiterate , we 're just going to put last night behind us . paige : last night ? what about last night ? eve : [ laughing ] you . oh , you are the most wonderful daughter in the whole wide world . [ both chuckle ] paige : yes , that is true , and it 's also true that i 'm late for class . eve : oh , goodness . paige : i 'll see you later , okay ? eve : okay , honey . mwah , mwah . aw . mwah . paige : bye . eve : [ sighs ] jj : i meant what i said , paige . i 'm in love with you . paige : and i love you too . jj : daniel 's right . there 's no reason why i ca n't just put that behind me and start fresh with paige . just start over . [ phone ringing ] [ doorbell rings ] brady : henderson , i 'll get it . daniel : look , brady , we need to talk . i need to tell you how sorry i am about what happened with kristen . brady : you already have . daniel : look , there are no excuses , but she was in a bad place . and jennifer -- she just -- she told me it was over , and as i said , there are no excuses , but it was a real moment of weakness . and we both realized it , and we stopped -- brady : all right , listen , man . i 'm sorry about jennifer . daniel : thank you . me too . brady : you got ta understand , i mean , i -- it 's just that i 've never made any mistakes when it comes to women , all right , so i felt really secure judging you . that was a pretty bad joke . daniel : it 's funny . look , man , i really am sorry . brady : i know . i 'll be honest with you , it was n't my favorite thing i ever saw . but you did me a favor , daniel . you pretty much proved to me that kristen was never the woman that she said she was . daniel : i 'm glad i could be of service . that was a joke . brady : i know . daniel : [ chuckles ] brady : listen , i 'm glad you 're here anyway , because i , uh -- [ sighs ] i realize that i need to apologize to you . daniel : what are you talking about ? brady : theresa . anne : you know i 'm right , right ? you would 've known if you lost the baby . theresa : of course . anne : yeah . theresa : it 's just that i do n't really remember last night , anne . i - i slept really bad , and i had these really weird dreams . but i do n't even really remember them , and then when i woke up this morning -- anne : when i called you ? theresa : [ sighs ] i just -- i felt really , really tired , like -- like i 'd been hit by a freight train or something . anne : or a gallon of merlot ? so where are you folks from ? aiden : ashtabula . here for business ? aiden : uh , well , as a matter of fact , i have a conference in about ten minutes . oh , uh , well , so , uh , room service is available until -- aiden : okay . hope : ashtabula ? aiden : always wanted to be from ashtabula . hope : you better get going . you do n't wan na be late for that conference . aiden : well , my dear hope , i 'm about to confer right here with you . maggie : hey . hi . is something wrong ? kayla : uh , that obvious , huh ? maggie : you want to talk about it ? kayla : you know , it 's just my niece , theresa . i 'm just worried about her , even more than usual . [ both chuckle ] maggie : not without reason , i 'm sure . kayla : look , i know she 's not your favorite person . i do n't think she 's anyone 's favorite person . it 's just -- maggie : what ? kayla : it 's just -- it 's just this whole debacle with brady , you know ? i just -- i thought that she 'd hit rock bottom and then she 'd straighten her life out . maggie : sociopaths are n't known for straightening themselves out . kayla , i 'm sorry . knowing -- knowing the things that nick did , you know , it did n't make me stop loving him . kayla : you know , it 's just this family thing . it 's just , sometimes it 's really difficult . maggie : so theresa -- what did she do ? kayla : what she does better than anybody else -- make a bad situation worse . anne : are you sure , theresa ? are you sure you did n't have even one tiny sip of wine or perhaps a half - gallon to celebrate your impending motherhood ? theresa : but i would never do that , anne ! look , i - i do have some willpower , believe it or not . i mean , my god , i would n't even consider having a drink while i was pregnant . i would never do anything to hurt my baby , and i have told you that . i have told you that repeatedly ! anne : okay , so then what is that doing there ? theresa : i do n't know ! i do n't know . anne : all right , look , theresa . i 'm not even saying this was a conscious decision , okay ? all right ? but is it possible ? is it possible that one night you were a little agitated , you were a little distracted , and that maybe it slipped your mind that you 're not supposed to drink ? yes ? no ? theresa ? theresa : maybe . i do n't -- i do n't know , maybe i was distracted , like -- like you said . and , i mean ... i guess maybe i was n't thinking straight , or i was n't thinking at all and -- [ sighs ] yeah , i guess that it 's possible . i could 've had a glass . i mean , some doctors say that that 's okay . anne : okay , well , there is basically nothing left in this bottle , okay ? so you would have had to have imbibed considerably more than a glass . theresa : i do n't think that i blacked out , though , but , god , what if i did ? what if -- what if i did drink all of that ? what -- say something ! anne : well , it would have been in character , theresa . let 's get real . okay , you are your own worst enemy . theresa : well , thanks , anne . thanks for your support . you know what , i thought we were friends . anne : we are . i am your friend . but that does n't mean that i do n't notice that you are completely and totally screwing up -- theresa : no , no , just go , anne , okay ? just leave me alone , i just -- anne : that 's fine , but you do n't take this out on me , okay ? you were wrong about being pregnant , and you made a fool of yourself . and now you have no one but yourself to blame for burning every bridge that you have with brady , his family -- and let 's face it -- everybody else in this town . daniel : what about theresa ? brady : [ sighs ] this morning , she said that -- daniel : whoa , whoa . what ? what are you even doing talking to theresa after what she did to you ? brady : oh , i had to . daniel : no , you do n't have to do anything except steer clear of her . brady : daniel , she told me she was pregnant with my child . daniel : son of a bitch . brady : you know i slept with her , so when she came over and told me that , i insisted that she get a test . daniel : well , you do know the woman is a liar . she will lie about the test . brady : she ca n't . kayla gave her the test , and then she told us that theresa was n't pregnant after all . eve : are we alone ? jj : yeah . eve : oh , my god , this is a total disaster . jj : i - i 'm sorry about the coat . eve : well , you ought to be , jj . my daughter thinks that i slept with daniel . i had to convince her that that was n't true . jj : did she believe you ? eve : well , i do n't know . i just had to go on and on about how popular the damn coat was and how i did n't even like daniel . jj : okay , well , if paige does n't say anything to me about daniel going forward , we should be okay . eve : well , we need to talk about that . jj : paige asking me about daniel ? eve : no , about you and paige going forward . aiden : is something wrong ? do you want to stop ? daniel : so theresa knew she was n't pregnant , and yet she let kayla do a test ? that 's weird , even for her . brady : yeah , but part of me -- part of me thinks that she believes that she was pregnant . i mean , there are false positives . daniel : or -- brady : or what ? daniel : remember what i went through with chloe ? brady : i thought about that . i thought maybe -- maybe this is a hysterical pregnancy . i do n't know what it was , false positive -- but i 'm telling you , i think it 's possible that she believes she was telling the truth . theresa : how could i have been so wrong ? mandrake : all you 'll feel is a little pinch . theresa : wait , i 'm -- i 'm pregnant . mandrake : oh , i know . i know you are . ms. dimera , it 's mandrake . i called to see how you are doing . wonderful . i 'll be by very soon to check on your condition . paige : i wonder if jj is still with daniel . [ phone ringing ] jj : what do you mean ? eve : jj , you have to understand that what happened between us -- you now have to break it off with paige , okay ? you can not be with her anymore . you two are over forever . | kayla told theresa and brady that theresa is n't pregnant . brady was upset that she was n't pregnant . theresa did n't understand and thought the test had to be wrong . brady thought she was lying . aiden let hope know that he wanted her . hope wanted to be with him too . paige and eve saw daniel give jj back his money clip . paige thought about the jacket that daniel was wearing . jj wanted to talk to daniel and wanted to meet with paige later . paige said she figured out what happened . theresa tried to convince brady that she thought she was pregnant . brady wanted to tell her how he felt about her . brady warned theresa to stay away from him . maggie ran into hope and aiden while they were talking about how much they wanted each other . maggie invited them for thanksgiving dinner . maggie thought it was time for the family to get to know aiden . paige thought that eve had sex with daniel . eve let her know that she was n't with daniel , but she would n't say who it was . jj let daniel know that he needed his help . |

[ dark music ] give me my kid . my digestive system used to make me feel sluggish rit : you know , this is a little loose . i 'm gon na go get my tools out of the truck . paul : no , no , no , you do n't have to do that . you 've already done so much for us . will : yeah , i mean , we can put a table together . i mean , paul can put a table together . he 's very good with his hands . rit : yeah , especially when they 're holding a baseball . will : yeah , how do you two know each other ? paul : uh , well , rit and his family -- they own a furniture business , and they asked me to do a couple commercials for them when i was playing ball . um , i did that because , well , they helped me with this move that i was , like , dreading . but their service when they did it was impeccable . will : oh , my gosh . you 're amazing . rit : that 's what we do . and i wan na see you on your feet as soon as possible . paul : oh , absolutely , man . and with all the love and support that i get here , i 'll be out of this chair and in one of yours in no time flat . rit : come here , buddy . paul : hey . thank you so much . thank you . rit : you 're welcome . will : thank you from both of us . thank you . rit : my pleasure . paul : welcome home . tripp : i do n't know why your mom and rafe decided to question me . ciara : well , there must have been a reason . claire : it 's because he 's your boyfriend , and he does n't like ben . of course he did n't do it , and honestly , i ca n't believe you 'd accuse him of something like that . ciara : i did n't accuse him of anything . i was just wondering why my mom and rafe talked to him . that 's -- that 's all . ciara : so maybe you should stay out of it , and maybe you should stop spreading lies about me too . claire : what ? okay , i - i really do n't know what you 're talking about . ciara : i 'm talking about you telling tripp that it was my idea to help ben find a job when we both know that that was your idea , claire . claire : uh , well , all i know is that you were just fine with it , so . sorry . my break 's over , but i 'll catch you guys later . [ phone rings ] rafe : [ sighs ] hope : ben . rafe : there he is . sorry to keep you waiting . we were actually trying to find your lawyer . hope : who seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth . rafe : you know , maybe we should call legal aid . ben : just tell me why i 'm here . hope : we asked you to come in so we could tell you that one of ciara 's friends came forward and confessed to planting that can of accelerant they found . ben : what friend of ciara 's ? rafe : well , the guy 's name 's wyatt stone , but the point is : it was n't hope . ben : what do you guys want from me ? you want , like , an apology or something ? hope : no . no , no , no . we just thought that you had the right to know . ben : thank you . what happens to this wyatt guy ? rafe : the da decided not to press charges . ben : why ? rafe : it would just be a misdemeanor . ben : [ sighs ] after all this . hope : got a stern warning . rafe : yeah . ben : oh , he got a stern -- a stern warning ? [ scoffs ] that 'll make a difference for sure . rafe : hold on there , slick . now , just because the evidence against you is manufactured ... hope : does n't mean you 're off the hook for setting the fire that almost killed my daughter . stefan : all i care about now is my baby . that 's all i have left of gabby , and once that child is born , that 's it . i 'm devoting my entire life to my son or daughter . gabi : oh , i get that . i totally get it . i have a daughter . and she means the world to me . i mean , the reason i started this little scheme , as you call it , is because i needed to get even with abigail for sending me to prison for a crime that she committed , a murder that she committed , taking me away from my daughter , okay ? and let me tell you , it took a very long time to get her trust back . that was very important to me , because she is the only child that i will ever be able to have . stefan : gabi , i know . look , i know all about your injuries and the beatings that you suffered in prison . i know all about that . and i truly am sorry for you , and i get why you 're angry . but i -- i do n't understand how any of that affects me . gabi : oh , okay , well , let me explain it to you . see , as much as chad and abigail love each other , that is how much they hate your freakin ' guts . so you have to understand that the minute your baby is born , abigail is gon na move heaven and earth to make sure you are not part of that baby 's life . heck , you 're probably gon na be alone while that child is being raised as a horton . think about that . gabby : you look a little surprised to see me . chad : no , i , uh ... i knew you were around somewhere . thanks to you , i had to have abby committed . gabby : did n't work , though , did it ? chad : yeah , i saw the real abby tonight . for a bit , i almost started believing i was wrong . gabby : she did her best to fight me off , i will give her that . but there were times when i was still calling the shots . i hit your friend gabi hernandez over the head with a tray , and i knocked kate roberts for a loop . and of course i sent that text message to stefan because ... i wanted him to know that i was still in on the game and that i was still in love with him . but i got to give it to abigail . she 's much stronger now . and for reasons that i will never understand , she only wants you . but having that baby gave me the strength to come in and take over . chad : so you make her do all the hard work , give birth . very motherly of you . gabby : i love that kid . its birth gave me a second chance at life . it 's a symbol of the love between stefan and me . chad : it 's not a symbol . it 's a human being . gabby : i know that . her pretty little face is the thing that gave me the strength to rise up , take control , and put abigail in the shadows where she belongs . everything that i feel in my heart is so strong , that i won the battle for abigail 's mind , body , and soul . so face it . you will never see abigail again . now , if you will excuse me , i would like to take my daughter to meet her father . chad : i dare you to take one more step . this holiday , no matter who 's on your list , tripp : i forgot to ask you , uh , how 'd it go helping julie out at doug 's place ? ciara : it was okay . tripp : did something bad happen to you while you were there ? ciara : why do you say that ? tripp : your face changed when i asked you how it went . ciara : i saw ben there . ben : well , you made your point . may i talk now ? hope : of course . please . the floor is yours . ben : thank you . do you think any of your pro bono lawyers would be willing to help me sue this department for harassment ? rafe : oh , hara -- oh . are you feeling harassed right now ? are you -- because my heart -- my heart -- it 's hurting . it 's bleeding . ben : am i free to go now ? rafe : for now . ben : i should have known that apology you gave me was a bunch of bull . [ phone rings ] rafe : ah . he 's getting steamed up . hope : yeah , he is , and i do n't like it . we need to nail him for that fire before he hurts someone else . will : hey . steady as a rock . paul : [ laughs ] will : okay , i 'm gon na go to the pub and get some food to put on it . paul : that 's a good idea . i 'm -- i 'm gon na work on these boxes here . will : oh , well , that is my stuff , so why do n't you just start with the kitchen . paul : okay . good idea . will : hey . i 'm glad you 're home . paul : [ sighs ] hey , i 'm really grateful that you 're here with me . will : i 'm grateful too . without you , i 'd be sleeping on the floor . i wo n't be long . stefan : [ scoffs ] gabi : you 're not saying anything . stefan : yeah . you know ... [ clears throat ] when i was first -- first thinking of coming here , after having lived all over the world , i had hope ; i had a mother ; i knew my father 's name . i thought i had a real chance at a family . but the dimeras quickly made it clear that i was kidding myself . they took my mother from me , did everything they could to deny my place in this family . and this baby is a chance at a new family . maybe even a dynasty of my own . and i 'm telling you , i wo n't put that at risk . so you can go on . you can go for now . and i 'll keep your little secret ... but you cross me , it 'll be the last mistake you ever make in your life , gabi . oh , hey , one more thing . if you just happen to hear from chad and abigail -- gabi : trust me , you will be the first to know . stefan : good . [ baby cries ] chad : i 'm warning you . gabby : she 's not your baby , as much as you wish she was . she 's stefan 's little girl , and she 's mine , so give her -- chad : stop . gabby : give her to me .

[ baby coos ] chad : i just -- i just fell asleep . abigail : it 's okay . you 're tired too . why do n't you just give her to me ? [ baby sniffs , coos ] are you all right ? chad : what ? yeah , i 'm fine . i just should n't have fallen asleep with her in my arms . but it 's -- i 'm fine now .

[ scene_break ] john : marlena ... i do n't know what 's on those papers that dr. north gave you . all i know is that man ca n't be trusted . marlena : we 've talked about this . you know how i feel about this . john : he 's supposed to be your doctor . he 's supposed to help you get your life back to where it was before this accident . instead , he 's done nothing but make you doubt how your friends and family feel about you and how you feel about us , and now he 's trying to convince you that -- what , that you 're really in love with him ? come on . that 's wrong . it 's not only wrong , it 's sick and it 's unethical . so there is no way you could possibly consider being with him . alex : marlena , do n't listen to him .

ej : i 'll answer your question then , all right ? neither my father nor i had anything to do with that shooting , all right ? are we clear ? that 's the truth . kate : okay . ej : okay ? kate : okay . then i 'll believe you . i mean , i suppose it is possible that that cop or ex - cop or whatever he is could have just been seeking revenge , right ? there are a lot of angry people out there , angry that they think that john stole their pension . i , for one , am not one of them , but ... ej : why ? kate : because that 's not who john is . ej : really ? sure about that ? kate : as sure as i can be . ej : well ... people are not always who they seem to be . you more than anybody should know that . rafe : roman . sami : dad ! rafe : did he say anything else ? roman : nothing we can go on . sami : i do n't understand why you are so sure that lauretano did n't have anything to do with taking johnny . ej : look , roman , obviously he knows who john is , he knows who his family is . he knew where he was going to be today . sami : i think there 's a very good chance that he did it , and he did it for revenge against john . roman : nothing is sure , but i do n't think so . the way the guy shot up the pub , his target was john . he did n't have a backup plan . ej : so what now ? roman : my men have taken lauretano down to the station . read him his rights . he 's being processed . ej : [ stammers ] we need answers now , okay ? not an hour from now -- now ! roman : wait a minute . let me get this straight . you telling me how to do my job , ej ? ej : yes ! we 're not getting any results when your men are spinning their wheels and they 're wasting time in following procedure . you understand that my son could be out there -- he could be hurt , he could be anything , roman ! madison : come on , sami , what did you call the file ? [ sighs ] brady : well , yes , that 's why titan 's trying to get johnny 's picture out to every media outlet possible . i do n't care that they 're competitors . just do it asap . roman : i know your family does n't have a lot of respect for the law , but if we do n't follow procedure with the suspect in custody , he 'll walk . and i really do n't want a dangerous guy like that walking around salem . do you , ej ? ej : my complaint is the police seem more interested in protecting this man than finding my son . rafe : all right , come on , let 's not be ridiculous . what are they supposed to do , ej , torture the guy ? ej : i do n't care , all right ? just find him , okay ? the longer he 's out there , the more danger he 's in . roman : we are doing everything possible . we 've expanded the search outside the city limits . we 've notified every police department within a 50-mile radius . ej : well , i 'm sure you think that 's very reassuring but , uh , he 's a small boy . how far , exactly , do you think he 's got , hmm ? i mean , he 's at the pub , and all of your police officers turn up , and yet somehow he manages to find his way out . you were there -- you were there ! the ineptitude of your police department boggles the mind ! abe : you know , that -- that 's enough . this is roman 's grandson too . ej : of course , here we are , the man who defends john black defending his inept department . abe : always blaming people . ej : no , i blame you ! i blame you for somebody being able to shoot john . i blame you for my son 's disappearance . you 're responsible ! abe : the feds were in charge of security . ej : oh , now who 's passing the buck ? look , could you just do me a favor , all right ? you 're all very right . i just need you to please find my son . sami : please . please ... do something . roman : again , ej , we are doing everything we can . ej : yes , you keep saying that . roman : yes , i do , and for the record , the guys you got out there searching have n't found him either , and they 're just making things worse . sami : look , i do n't understand why we 're all still just standing here doing nothing ! ej : because the police department 's completely inept ! lexie : ej , ej , honey , i know what you 're going through . i know what you 're going through . but pointing fingers wo n't help , okay ? ej : lexie , maybe my emotions are getting the better of me , but the fact is , this should never have happened . lexie : i know ... ej : i have no idea how this was allowed to happen . lexie : i know , i know . kate : stefano , it 's me . um ... i assume you know by now that they found out it was a disgruntled cop who took that shot at john . i know that you 're out looking for giovanni , and i just wanted to tell you that i am so sorry . call me when you get a chance . i love you . madison : kate . kate : madison . madison : well , you look surprised to see me . kate : no . madison : really ? because your face says otherwise . kate : yeah , well , i guess i 'm just not used to seeing you out and around . madison : maybe you should get used to it , since we 're both operating our businesses here . kate : you know , i 'm thinking that there might not be enough room in this town for both of us . madison : i could n't agree more . i think it 's time for you to pack and go . kate : i was just about to say the same thing to you . you see , i am going to be the last woman standing . madison : famous last words , kate . actually , i 'm not really interested in having this conversation with you . i have far more important things to do . kate : so do i , madison . so do i . brady : sami , listen , i have an entire news crew working to get the word out on johnny , all right ? someone has to have seen him . jennifer : abe put out a plea . he has volunteer search parties organized . anything else we can do , let us know , okay ? rafe : you guys are amazing . thank you . all we need is one good tip to send us in the right direction . jennifer : hey , hey ... why do n't we go sit down ? you look exhausted . come on . brady : hi . madison : is there any news ? brady : no . no , afraid not . but i was n't expecting to see you here . the meeting -- madison : i cancelled it . brady : i was n't expecting that either . madison : neither was i . roman : all right , well , good . thanks . rafe : hey . roman : we got a lead . ej : planning on telling me ? roman : somebody called in after abe 's tv appearance . said they saw a boy fitting johnny 's description out by the woods about a mile outside of town . ej : what ? let 's get down there ! roman : we will . but we ca n't fly blind , all right ? leads do n't always pan out , and i do n't wan na get my daughter 's hopes up -- not yet . ej : well , but , this could be valuable information , okay ? if somebody 's seen johnny , then we need to -- roman : we do n't know it 's johnny yet , all right ? we do n't know anything for sure , ej , so get yourself together , okay ? for sami 's sake . she 's emotional as hell right now . ej : you do n't say . roman : yeah ! and that emotion could lead to irrational behavior , and we do n't want that , do we ? ej : well , thank you for that , dr . freud . rafe : so you 're saying that we should n't say anything to her . ej : right . no , that 's perfect , is n't it ? let 's not tell the hypersensitive woman anything that might upset her delicate sensibilities ... right ? we 'll leave all the hard work to the big , tough policemen . roman : ej , do you ever get tired of listening to yourself and being like this ? rafe : whoa , whoa , whoa , what is it -- you think if we tell her , that she 's gon na want to go . roman : exactly . so can we stop bickering and get on with our work ? ej : idiots . roman : sami . we 're gon na go check some things out , try to gather some new leads , see where that takes us . sami : i 'm gon na stay here . i just wan na be here if -- when johnny ... jennifer : yeah . sami : is found . jennifer : we 'll stay here with her . lexie : absolutely . we 'll stay . ej : samantha . i promise you , i 'm going to find him if it is the last thing that i do . brady : so you cancelled the meeting with finnerman to be here ? madison : i did . brady : madison , that 's -- madison : okay , listen , i know the meeting was important . but i also know when i go in for an appointment and my head is not fully in the game , i can do more harm than good . brady : that 's smart . madison : i was working on the presentation . i just was n't ... i was n't getting anywhere , you know ? all i could think about was sami ... how awful this must be for her . i just ... johnny 's the sweetest kid . i feel really lucky i got to meet him . brady : he 's very sweet . he 's the best . madison : i know there 's nothing i can do , but ... brady : wait . actually , there is something i think you could do . madison : really ? brady : you 're sami 's boss . you came down here because obviously you care . i think she should know that . i think you should tell her exactly what you told me , and i think that would make her feel a lot better . kate : is this joel finnerman ? hi ! katherine dimera . oh , i know . same here . yeah . well , i heard through the grapevine that you 're in town . oh , your meeting was cancelled . how unfortunate . oh , i know , i would love to meet up with you too , i really would , but i 'm a little tied up here . i know . tell you what , though . if you 're looking to fill some time , why do n't you stop by the countess wilhelmina office space ? it 's my new space . oh , no , my staff would love to give you a tour . uh - huh . oh , i guarantee you 're gon na be impressed . okay , then . you stay in touch . bye . brady : hey . lexie : hey . brady : do you mind if , um , we talk ? jennifer : oh , no . no , that 's fine -- i 'm gon na check in with abigail anyway . lexie : yeah , i 'll check in with abe , see if there 's any news , okay ? sami : hey , so , um ... what are you doing here ? madison : sami , i 'm so sorry for what you must be going through . sami : oh , god , we had that meeting . and i did n't even call to let you know -- madison : no , no , no , listen , do n't worry about it . work is the last thing you should be worried about now . you need to find your son . that 's all that matters . sami : thank you . madison : honey , listen to me . work is my life . i admit that . but i know what really matters . do you remember back in the day i had younger brothers and sisters that i helped raise ? i do n't know what i would do if something happened to them , and i 'm not trying to make this about me . sami : you 're not . madison : i know that you 're gon na find johnny . sami : uh ... i appreciate your support . a lot . it 's just with every moment that passes it 's , uh ... it 's just hard , really hard to stay positive .

eric : then i found out that nicole actually had feelings for me . matt : so you leapt to the conclusion that the person in your dreams -- in your memories was her ? eric : father , i was accusing nicole without proof , refusing to believe her . matt : have you spoken with her since the truth came out ? eric : i was actually on my way to go look for her before you got here . father , i should go . matt : hold on . there 's another matter you must deal with . bishop white , he 's heard what happened , and wants to meet with you tonight . ej : do n't you dare look at me that way . sami : what way ? like what you just said was n't incredibly stupid ? or insensitive ? or -- infuriating ? ej : samantha , if anybody on that video was the aggressor , it clearly was eric . sami : obviously , because she pumped him full of a cartload of drugs . ej : tell me , what kind of drug would allow a man to ravish somebody against his will and then have no memory of it ?

[ knocking at the door ] gabi : oh , i was in class all morning , i just heard about johnny , i 'm so sorry . have you heard anything ? rafe : no , not yet . gabi : it 's been so long . rafe : yeah , it 's , uh -- it 's beginning to look like johnny was kidnapped . gabi : who 'd kidnap -- rafe : we do n't -- i do n't know . gabi : [ sighs ] rafe : the dimeras have a lot of enemies . gabi : i am so sorry . sami : i 'm glad you 're here . gabi : i 'll make you some tea . yeah . sami : no , thank you . rafe : sami , you should eat something . you have n't eaten anything since -- sami : since johnny disappeared . rafe : yeah . i can make you a sandwich if you want , or i can go out , anything you want . sami : anything ? anything ? because what i want is for you to go find him . rafe , go find him and bring him home , that 's what i want . ` dad : hi bella ! jennifer : i was gon na go out for a second , but you know what , now that you 're here , why do n't we , um , why do n't we just talk for a little bit . sit down . jack : oh , sure . jennifer : how you feeling ? jack : oh , i 'm great , now that we 're back in the great , wide world . jennifer : you know that the trauma you suffered in afghanistan , it 's not gon na just go away , jack , right ? you know that ? jack : of course . of course , but you know how to reach me . when all those bad memories came flooding back in . i ca n't thank you enough for that . jennifer : and i 'm glad that i was there for you , i 'm glad that you were n't alone , but i did n't fix anything , jack . jack : what are you talking about ? do n't you know what you did ? your concern , your caring , reaching out to me , it -- i felt it , i suddenly felt like ... all the pain , the anger , the hurt , the distance between us , it just evaporated like that , and all of a sudden we were -- we were together again . the way we used to be , like -- like the way we 're gon na be in the future , i felt it , jennifer . i know you felt it too . did n't you ? hope : i know caroline would make sure that the kids do n't see anything on tv about johnny . is there , uh , is there anything else i can tell her for you ? sami : yeah , you have to remind her that sydney needs her eye drops tonight , and that allie ca n't eat whatever she wants to , 'cause she 's still being tested for that wheat allergy , okay ? hope : got it . anything else ? sami : just keep praying , okay ? hope : of course . sami , i really do understand what you 're going through , honey . it 's easy to shut down , and shut everybody out , but you know what , you ca n't do that , okay ? you need to be 100 % when johnny comes home . so what do you say ? let rafe make you something to eat . sami , he loves you . he just wants to help , that 's all . gabi : says here that tons of people are volunteering to help find johnny . bo : hey , that 's great . rafe : you hear that , honey ? even people that do n't know johnny , they want to see him come home , safe and sound . i 'll make you a sandwich , in case you want to eat . will : hey , i 'll be right back . okay ? hey . [ sighs ] i 'm glad you 're here ... in our lives , i mean , you -- you 've been really good to us , and you make my mom really happy . rafe : [ laughs ] not right now , i do n't . will : she 's not mad at you , she 's upset about johnny . rafe : oh , i get it , will . i 'm upset too . i feel so friggin ' helpless . will : [ sniffs ] yeah . rafe : evidently , there just are n't any leads out there , or if there are , i 'm certainly not gettin ' 'em . maybe because it 's the fact that i 'm a civilian now . will : [ laughs ] at least you 're trying , so -- and really , you just being here helps her , even if she ca n't show that to you right now . johnny does n't know how lucky he is . rafe : excuse me ? will : when he 's here . johnny gets to grow up with you as his dad . i mean , i -- it 's not that -- that i do n't love my dad , but you 're giving johnny something i never really had growing up , which is a real family , and , um , really the best father anybody could ask for . rafe : well , you 're not so bad yourself , you know . [ laughs ] will : [ laughs ] rafe : i know , your mom and lucas , they always -- they always tried to do right by you . will : yeah , they tried . but you know , as far as i 'm concerned , you are johnny 's dad , in every way that counts . rafe : yeah . nicole : ej does n't need your lowlife friends to help find his son . why do n't you go back to your karate spa , or whatever it is you call it ? you have wasted enough of ej 's time . ej : quinn , wait . i accept your offer . nicole : ej , you ca n't be serious , do n't -- ej : i 'm not going to turn down anybody 's help in finding my son . quinn : i 'll do what i can . ej : thank you . nicole , i know that you 're trying to protect my image with the voters , but i do -- nicole : yeah , that -- and protect you from yourself . i know johnny 's disappearance has you desperate to try anything to get him back . ej : right . i 'm not ashamed to admit that . nicole : but ej , you can not involve quinn , he will not help find johnny . ej : sure -- nicole : and you are bound to get hurt . ej : you do n't know that . nicole : i do know that . i know that you are not thinking straight . just -- let me deal with quinn . i 'll tell him you changed your mind , and you do n't want his help . ej : nicole , look , i appreciate your help , okay ? especially when it 's personal issues , but i know what i 'm doing when it comes to quinn . nicole : no , you do n't . ej : yes , i do . nicole : no , you do n't . so it is up to me to make sure that you do n't make a terrible mistake . will : rafe made you a sandwich . sami : thanks . i ca n't eat . will : okay , then why do n't you rest , sleep , and then we 'll wake you if there 's any news . sami : i ca n't . i ca n't sleep , i ca n't close my eyes until i know that johnny is back , and that he 's okay . rafe : hey , if the kid spotted earlier by that country road was johnny , if he 'd have walked into that stream , the dogs would n't have been able to pick up his scent . bo : good thinking , man . i 'll call search and rescue . gabi : hey , i made you a sandwich . want it ? rafe : no , i ca n't . gabi : rafe , look , you ca n't tell sami to keep up her strength , and then not follow your own advice . rafe : sami has barely even looked at me since johnny disappeared . and the one thing that she needs from me right now i ca n't give her . gabi : she knows you 're doing the best you can . rafe : yeah . yeah , she does , which right now pretty much amounts to nothing . marlena : i 'm sorry , i ca n't stop trying to change your mind about this . [ knocking at the door ] [ door opens ] roman : [ sighs ] marlena : roman ? roman : all right , let 's go see sami . marlena : the feds are going to let him go ? roman : was n't easy , but they 've got families too . they agreed . john : wow . thank you . roman : conditions . meeting has to be brief , we have to go in the back way , you have to hunker down in my unmarked car . john : yeah , yeah . sure , agreed , yeah . marlena : gosh , there was already one attempt on john 's life , i ca n't believe that there are people here that are so angry , they would shoot him for something he never did . roman : john , listen to me , okay ? i mean , i understand that you feel guilty about what happened at the pub , but i do n't see how that plays into your pleading guilty , if you did n't embezzle people 's money . john : it 's complicated . marlena : hmm . it 's absurd . john : when we have more time , we 'll talk about it , okay ? just know that pleading guilty is not just the right thing to do , it is the only thing to do for everybody else who has gotten themselves involved in my mess . jack : i feel like you 're about to say i imagined us reconnecting , like i made up this whole amazing moment to balance out reliving all the bad stuff . jennifer : no , no , i do n't think that you made it up . jack : oh , good . i 'm so glad , because -- jennifer : i just think i -- i think that maybe you -- maybe you misunderstood . i felt so close to you in that cabin , jack -- jack : well , i felt close to you too . just like we used to be , which was so -- jennifer : no . i was scared for you when you were having those flashbacks , and it made me see the hell that those captors put you through , jack . jack : well , you know , aaa really rates the afghan caves as the worst and the lowest , but you know , the swedes , they set a really high bar , so -- jennifer : jack , please , i realized what you were going through while you were missing in our lives , and i felt so bad for you . jack : you were with me the whole time , when everything was at its darkest . it was your love that brought me back . jennifer : and i do , i -- i love you , and there was a while there when i did n't think i did anymore , jack , but you know what ? that night , it did n't change where we are with each other , it -- jack : what do you mean ? we came back here , we hugged , we kissed . jennifer : yes , you 're right , and i was -- i was drawn to you . you 're right , it was an emotional time , and -- jack : but ? jennifer : i still have feelings for daniel . i ca n't shut those off , i ca n't make them go away , jack . jack : no , no , this is n't fair , this -- you 're not being fair . jennifer : no , but i 'm being honest with you and i need to be . jack : no . no , no , no . you said -- you told me you always loved me , always . you said me , not daniel , you said me ! jennifer : wait , when did i say that ? what are you talking about ? jack : when i was asleep . well , when i was half - asleep , you said it , i heard everything you said . jennifer : you were pretending to be asleep ? are you playing games with me ? nicole : ej . ej , could you just trust me ? look , we both love johnny and want him to be found , but accepting quinn 's help is a mistake . ej : i disagree . nicole : oh . all right , look , ej , you are thinking like johnny 's father , and that makes you blind to see how quinn 's help will come back and bite you . ej : i do n't understand , okay ? you want to protect me , but you do n't want to be with me . hmm ? nicole : we settled that . ej : nicole , i understand that you want to help me . you think quinn 's trouble , you 're probably right , but my son is missing , and as his father , i will do whatever it takes to find him . i would think that you , of all people , would understand that . jennifer : it 's unbelievable , jack . of course , i start to trust you again and then you do something -- jack : if you meant what you said , why would it matter if i was asleep or awake ? jennifer : it matters because you tricked me , you let me believe that you were sleeping . jack : you said some beautiful , sweet things to me . why would i ever want to stop ? jennifer : oh , god , that is so lame , even for you , jack . - i did n't want to screw this up , i really -- really ? are there any other tricks that you 're pulling , for me to take you back ? anything else ? jack : no , nothing . jennifer : because for a minute , i really thought that you changed , jack , i really did . jack : i have changed . jennifer : all the cookie decorating for the kids at the hospital , and making abby believe that you 're gon na gain her trust back , and not being so flip and glib , but i was wrong , jack . jack : but -- but -- [ stammers ] jennifer : and it was you at halloween in that stupid mask , following me around , it was you ! jack : it was n't me , i can prove it ! it 's the truth ! jennifer : that is the problem with lies and deceit , jack , even when you 're telling the truth , no one believes you . roman : listen to me , that missing boy is my grandson . i want updates every ten minutes or less . what the hell ? quinn hudson . quinn : [ coughs ] roman : what the hell are you doing in salem ? nicole : you 're right . there 's nothing i would n't do to be with the child that i love . but you are a dimera . you have people searching for johnny besides the police . you do not need quinn 's help . ej : nicole , i need all the help i can get right now . nicole : no . he is bad news , and you do not need someone like that in your life . ej : i know you 're trying to help me . i appreciate everything you 've done . marlena : hi , rafe . rafe : hi . marlena : mmm . ohh , will . mmm . will : hi . marlena : i 'm so glad that you 're here for rafe and sami . you are always strong for everybody else . i want you to remember , stay strong for yourself too . will : i will . thank you . john : roman had to stop and make some phone calls , but he 'll be over . um , i do n't know what kind of string he pulled to get me here , but i owe him , big time . bo : i 'm glad you are here . john : oh , thanks , bo . marlena : hi , sweetheart . gabi , i 'm so glad to see you here . gabi : i love johnny . i want to be here when -- when he comes home . marlena : john and i feel very strongly that johnny will be home , safe and sound , before you know it . john : brightest little guy i know . he 's tough , feisty , he 's gon na come through this without a scratch . bo : where 's rafe ? hope : uh , last time i saw him , he was hanging up the coats . maybe he slipped out when our backs were turned . sami : why are you here ? how did you get here ? john : well , we just wanted to be here for you and johnny . sami : my dad said you were n't allowed to leave your home . marlena : well , your dad pulled some strings so john could be here before he went to trial . sami : of course , the trial , right . we were all supposed to be at the pub to support you . marlena : it was such a nice thing for everyone to -- sami : and the next thing you know , there are guns and bullets , and we 're being shot at , and my son is missing . and now he 's not here to wear this cap because of you . quinn : [ laughing ] really ? uh , you should be in anger management class . roughing up innocent people is a crime . roman : you 're anything but innocent , quinn . quinn : ancient history . on the other hand , you might be found guilty of police brutality , if i decide to press charges . roman : oh , do it . do it please . now again , why are you back in salem ? quinn : all right , first off , i 'm sorry your grandson is missing . thank you . roman : why are you back ? the d.a . let you off the hook for pimping on the condition you leave town and stay gone . quinn : not that i did n't appreciate our out - of - court settlement , but that was then and this is now . roman : you made a deal , you broke it . i see prison time in your future , quinn , and that makes me very happy . quinn : mm , prison 's not a good look for me . besides , i 'm a changed man . roman : do n't care . do n't believe it . quinn : hey , i 'm legit out of that business . in fact , i 'm about to open up a small enterprise right here in the town square . roman : [ laughs ] what the hell is that ? quinn : that is salem 's first health spa , combining martial arts classes and total body wellness . hey , maybe you 'd like to come down and sign up , or send the donut - eaters on the force , to get in shape . roman : the only thing i 'm gon na send you is back to jail . let 's go , you 're under arrest . let 's go . i said let 's go . nicole : now maybe you 'll change your mind about accepting quinn 's help . he 's bad news -- he 's nothing but trouble for you . will : i 'm sorry . my mom did not mean that , she 's upset about johnny , and you -- sami : i did mean it . my son , your brother , is missing , and it 's because some nut job tried to shoot him . he tried to kill him for stealing his pension . hope : he did n't steal anything , sami . sami : but that does n't matter , does it ? it does n't matter because he was still willing to shoot into a crowd of innocent people , just to get back at john . and now johnny is missing , and it 's all because of the chaos that you have brought into our entire lives . marlena : honey , john had no idea that would happen -- john : no , it 's okay , it 's okay . i understand why samantha blames me for johnny missing , and if it helps , i blame myself . sami : good . you should . john : you do n't even know how sorry i am about this situation , and if i could roll back the time and undo all this , i would . sami : well , would n't we all ? that 'd be lovely , but you ca n't . johnny is missing , and it is your fault . marlena : samantha , there 's no need for this , this wo n't get -- sami : do n't defend him to me ! john : i just want you to know something . i am aware that all hell has broken loose since your mother and i came back to salem . austin and carrie , they 're on the outs , rafe has lost his job , and now johnny is missing because of me . so rather than stand trial , i 've decided to plead guilty to all charges . as long as i 'm in prison , at least i ca n't hurt the rest of the people that i love . sami : you want to stop hurting me , then you can get out ! just get out of my face ! marlena : samantha , stop that . sami : and you think you can cop a plea now ? you 're gon na be noble now ? after my son is missing ? are you kidding me ? john : if i had any idea this was gon na happen -- sami : you know what ? i do n't feel bad for you , and i am not grateful to you for making this big gesture . it is too late ! marlena : samantha , i know you 're hurting , but that 's enough . marlena : oh , samantha -- sami : stop . just stop it . marlena : berating john -- or me -- is not going to bring johnny back . sami : is that really all you care about ? your husband 's feelings matter more to you than me and my missing child ? marlena : no , that 's not true . sami : 'cause you need counseling for what is going on in that head of yours . all you think about is john . all you care about is him . marlena : i know this is all the fear talking . sami : i am not gon na be managed by you . this is not a session . do you even care that johnny is missing ? will : mom , of course they care , that is why they are here . marlena : will , let her go . she needs to get this out . sami : all you think about is john . he comes first for you , at my expense , at everyone 's expense . right or wrong , i love my kids , and they mean more to me than anything else . marlena : have i loved anybody more than my family ? my children , your husbands , your family , i love everybody . sami : [ whispers ] oh ... they may all fall for that , but i know better , i lived it . i see it for the act that it is . marlena : it is not an act , sami . sami : your grandson is missing , and you do n't even care . all you do is bring john here , for some big gesture about how he 's gon na plead guilty , and you care about that more than you do me ... marlena : that 's not true . sami : ... and the fact that my son is gone ! marlena : sami , sami , it 's not true , i love you . i love johnny . sami : then where were you ? where were you when everybody else was looking for him ? i thought so . marlena : please . this is n't helping johnny . now it 's all about helping johnny . marlena : it was , from the moment he disappeared . sami : then what were you doing ? because i know you were n't with me , were you ? because you never have been . you have never been there for me when i needed you . marlena : that 's not so , sami . i 've always been there for you . i love you and your family . john : we both do , samantha . sami : well , right now my son is missing because of you , and i am putting you both on notice that if he does not come back -- if he does n't come back to me safe and sound , i will make you both wish that i 'd never been born . jack : i 'm not putting one over on you , i just -- i just did n't tell you what i heard until now . jennifer : you did n't tell me just now -- it slipped out , jack , which means you were n't planning on telling me , which means you were being deceitful . jack : no , no , no . i was blown away by hearing you say that you still love me and you always would . i did n't know what i was gon na do . do n't you see , i wanted to reach out and grab you and hug you and say , `` i will always love you , too , `` but i could n't . you thought i was asleep , so just stayed asleep . jennifer : why ca n't being honest ever be your first choice , jack ? jack : that 's not fair . jennifer : it 's not fair , but it is true . jack : i messed up at the cabin . jennifer : it 's true . jack : i messed up , okay ? but to -- to imply that i 'm basically dishonest -- jennifer : you have a problem with the truth . you always have , jack , and it shows every time that life happens . jack : wait a minute , life happens at every single moment , and that would mean that i -- jennifer : right , which means that you ca n't deal with the truth . you deny it , you sleep through it , you run from it , jack , all the time . jack : i know i should be saying something here , but i really do n't know what it is i should say . jennifer : right , because there 's nothing to say . there is absolutely nothing to say . i am so tired of this . i am so tired of dealing with a man -- of dealing with an ex - husband who hates the truth and avoids reality all the time . jack : is that really what you think i do ? jennifer : oh , my gosh . just the fact that you said that shows me how lost you are , and you know what ? i am not the person to fix you anymore . i want to be with a man who is happy , happy with himself and happy with his life , and that man is not you . roman : no more deals , quinn .

[ tender music ] julie : we just have to focus on how good justin is in court . doug : not gon na matter how good justin is in court . damned judge is in the dimera 's pocket . julie : shh ! what if ciara heard you ? darling , she just needs to know we have no doubts that -- that her mother will be set free . doug : yeah , but i have doubts . i mean , she -- she killed that son of a bitch . julie : well , he certainly had it coming . doug : yes , but that is not a defense . hope is a cop . she will be held to a higher standard . julie : doug , please . please do n't . ciara just needs to know that we are confident . and i am confident because i really do n't believe god would let stefano dimera win . ciara : let 's hope you 're right about that . julie : sweetie ... justin : trask and fitzpatrick agreed to drop the related charges . roman : yeah , because that vindictive little worm backed down . how the hell did you get him to do that ? justin : in court , you may want to refer to him as andré dimera . roman : [ chuckles ] okay . all right , whatever . so how did you manage to get andré dimera to drop the charges ? justin : with a cool , logical argument . and the fact that the little vindictive worm knows that if he went after the whole salem pd , he might be overreaching . roman : so you 're sure he wo n't go back on his word ? justin : of course not . he 's a dimera . but it 's on the record now . it will hurt his case and help ours if he reneges now . i 'm just worried about trask . if she uses this case to turn her temporary da job into a more permanent one . roman : do n't let that happen . stop her . all right , bottom line , what are hope 's chances ? justin : i 'm what you 'd call cautiously optimistic . roman : how are you gon na handle that confession ? justin : i am not going to contest that hope shot stefano . i 'm going to contest that it 's murder one . in all of this , hope was a victim too . i 'll hit that hard . hope : you did n't have to come , honey . shawn : you 're kidding me with that , right ? hope : you looked exhausted . just flew halfway around the world . shawn : i did exactly what you would do for me if i needed you . hope : i never wanted you to know . or to find out like this . i murdered a man . shawn : well , it was n't murder . this is stefano dimera . all right , he was n't a man . he was an animal . hope : you sound like your father . shawn : you know , in my mind , you did n't do anything wrong . how many years has he tortured you and our entire family ? after dad died , you were crazy with grief because you thought that stefano was responsible . i mean ... anybody would have done the same thing . hope : i 'm glad you feel that way . shawn : more importantly , so does justin . hope : you spoke to him ? shawn : we 've been emailing . mom , his is so smart , and he is good in a courtroom . and he 's gon na make sure that that judge sees what happened clearly -- just the way that i do . hope : i do n't know what 's going to happen today . thank god you 're here .

[ both laugh ] dario : something bothering you ? blanca : well , i just ... just wonder if this is n't going too fast . dario : no . what 's bothering you ? blanca : well , it was -- it was very nice that you stood up to guillermo , but like i said , after being with a guy like that , i really need to take my time . you know , he seemed like a nice guy at the beginning too . dario : look , i get it . and we can take things slow . that 's -- that 's fine . i 'm not looking to settle down . i mean , i 'm still trying to figure out what it means to be in this new business with my dad . blanca : new business ? there 's something else besides tbd ? eduardo : my plan for the renovated club is that it 'll be a front for this new venture . be a delicate process . i ca n't think of a better person to handle it than you . dario : he 's just thinking about expanding the club . my dad thinks big . eduardo : yes , i do . and i knew that with dario on board , the sky would be the limit . [ tense music ] julie : ciara , why do n't you and your grandfather go in and get a seat ? i just need to talk to jennifer , just for a minute . jennifer : okay . hang in there , okay ? julie : look , i know you 've been researching everything . is there any way that hope can avoid this death penalty ? jennifer : well , julie , she confessed , so it shows that she has remorse , and she wants to pay for what she did . julie : so the judge can reduce her sentence ? jennifer : yes , she has the power to do that . the only problem is , the judge also has financial ties to the dimera family . julie : well , she should have recused herself . jennifer : right , but ... she has n't done that . but we know justin . we know that he is going to work every single angle that he has . adrienne : that 's right . i hate that hope is going through this , but she could not have a better lawyer . justin will watch out for her , believe me . i 'm gon na go inside . jennifer : okay . julie : wow . for a lady that 's marrying somebody else this afternoon , she 's really bullish on her ex - husband . jennifer : well , i hope she 's right . i mean , hope 's future is in justin 's hands . rafe : you ready to go ? hope : [ laughs weakly ] i do n't have much of a choice , do i ? rafe : i 'm so sorry . hope : for what ? rafe : sorry . hope : no . for doing any and every thing you possibly could to help me ? rafe : no , no , i saw ... i did n't do anything to stop you , that 's what i did n't do . hope : that 's not true . you did everything you could . but i would n't listen . stop worrying . i took matters into my own hands . stefano pushed me into a corner . rafe : you were suffering . hope : i should have known better ... do n't you see ? stefano won . even if i do n't get the death penalty , he won . rafe : hope . detective brady ? it 's time . [ dramatic music ] trask : how does it feel to be back on this side of the courtroom ? justin : fine . after all , the last time you and i were in this position , my client went free . trask : not this time , counselor . adrienne : you are gon na pulverize that woman . and if you do n't , i will . literally . justin : i wish you were n't so passive . adrienne : you get 'em , counselor . get 'em . jennifer : i am so glad that you and justin worked things out . adrienne : i am too . he sure does n't need any distractions , certainly not today . look at him , calm as a cucumber . jennifer : yeah . he 's a machine . adrienne : well , nobody knows what he feels like when he loses , when he does n't save the day . nobody but me knows that he 's harder on himself than anyone . dario : hey , you guys . eduardo : hey , blanca . blanca : hi . kate : hi . dario : want to join us ? kate : uh ... you know , i do n't think so . we 'll find a table of our own . we do n't wan na disturb you .

[ cell phone rings ] blanca : sorry . it 's from the hospital . i need to get this , sorry . dario : thank you for trying to smooth things over with blanca . eduardo : oh , sure . i meant what i said . i like that she 's loyal to someone who was kind to her . so , the two of you -- is it serious ? dario : i do n't know . i do n't think either one of us knows . her old boyfriend was a real jerk . he messed with her head . she wants to take things slow . what about you and kate ? eduardo : we 're becoming friends . dario : yeah ? eduardo : yeah . dario : you do n't look at her like that . eduardo : what can i say ? i never met anyone like her . you know , she 's ... she 's stunning , obviously , but she 's so smart , so cool ... fierce . extremely competent under pressure . she 's ... she 's ice and fire , you know ? dario : okay . [ laughs ] wow . okay , so ... let me ask you a question . how do you think she 's going to react when she finds out what we 're really doing at the club ? i mean , that could be a problem right ? she 's a dimera lover . eduardo : she 's not gon na find out what we 're really doing . 'cause and i are gon na keep that strictly between ourselves . blanca : [ clears throat ] excuse me , i need to leave . they called me in to work . eduardo : good to see you again , blanca . blanca : right . dario : what are you -- wait a minute ! kate : what did i miss ? dario : hey , hey , hey ! do you want to tell me what 's going on ? blanca : sure . i 'm gon na tell you what 's going on . if your father is keeping a secret from kate about your new business , i can only imagine you 're keeping something from me too . judge : [ bangs gavel ] in the matter of the state versus hope williams brady on the charge of murder in the first degree , the defendant has confessed to the murder of stefano dimera . is that correct ? hope : yes , your honor . judge : the defendant has signed a confession and waived the right to trial . therefore , we proceed immediately to the sentencing phase of the trial . i had requested a pre - sentencing report from the probation department . it examines the defendant 's record . mr. kiriakis , ms . trask , have you both received copies of this report in a timely manner ? justin : yes , your honor . trask : yes , your honor . judge : based on the defendant 's record and the heinous nature of the crime , the court agrees with the prosecution that the defendant is eligible for the death penalty . i will not , however , rule on the punishment until hearing from both the prosecution and the defense . district attorney trask ? trask : thank you , your honor . to most of salem , this woman is a fine , upstanding citizen . a member of a well respected family , a decorated police detective of the salem police department . however , she has another , darker side to her as well . a side that allowed her to abuse and break the very law she had sworn to uphold . hope williams brady committed premeditated murder and she had every intention of getting away with it . but she did n't get away with it . and today is her call to judgment . can a toothpaste do everything well ? kate : are you gon na tell me what happened before ? i left and then came back , and everyone had disappeared . eduardo : i do n't know what happened . i 'm gon na let dario sort it out . kate : yep . i always stay out of my kids ' business . best not to interfere . eduardo : [ laughs ] you said that with a straight face . kate : wait -- it 's true ! i mean , maybe there was a time when i felt differently , but i learned my lesson . that 's why i 've decided i 'm not gon na trap adrienne , drop in the wild to keep her from marrying lucas . eduardo : such restraint . kate : yeah . i am lousy with restraint . so you ready for two more ? eduardo : i 'm always ready for more . especially with you , kid . dario : what makes you think i 'm keeping something from you ? blanca : [ scoffs ] listening to your dad say kate ca n't find out what you guys are up to . dario : just 'cause my dad 's keeping something from kate does n't mean i 'm keeping something from you . blanca : oh , so i 'm not being fair ? am i overreacting ? dario : i did n't say that . blanca : no , it 's okay . you know what , maybe i am . but i do n't care . you see , i heard you guys talking about a secret , and i do n't think you were planning a surprise party . and after guillermo , you know , i 'm so tired of secrets . if you and your dad are involved in something shady , i do n't want any part of it , okay ? i do n't wan na be down that road again . dario : fine . then let me tell you the truth . justin : objection . counsel is testifying . judge : we 're in the sentencing phase , mr. kiriakis . overruled . roman : damn it . shawn : she 's out for blood . judge : continue , ms. trask . trask : i would like to revisit the day in question when detective brady showed up uninvited to the home of stefano dimera . she entered the house and confronted him . not only did she confront him , she shot him not once , not twice , but repeatedly as you will see in the autopsy report before you . the defendant then proceeded to cover up the murder , hide the body , and frame another person for the crime . justin : objection . my client is being charged with one count . all these other claims are wholly unsubstantiated . can ms. trask please stay on point ? trask : withdrawn . judge : strike those last remarks from the record . counselor , watch yourself . trask : i understand that the defense will bring up detective brady 's standing in the community , her charitable work with the horton foundation , indeed all the wonderful things she has done in the past . but that is all moot now . regardless of the kind of person stefano dimera was perceived to be , he was still a human being . his life mattered . a life that detective brady took an oath to protect . and yet , she did n't consider any of that . she showed up at that day and murdered him in cold blood , which is why the people have no choice other than to urge the court to render the only decision that keeps this whole proceeding from being a complete and utter mockery . death by lethal injection . [ dramatic music ] eduardo : thanks . kate : so , i 'm gon na ask you a question . did you plan this ? eduardo : did i -- oh , yes . i mean , i think that 's clear . given that i went to where you live and i asked you out to lunch . i planned going out to lunch . in fact , lunch rarely takes me by surprise . kate : okay , that 's not what i meant . did you plan us bumping into dario and the girlfriend ? eduardo : why would i do that ? kate : i do n't know . maybe you want me to get to know dario better . eduardo : well , all right . i shameless took advantage of the situation . i thought it would be a good idea . you already know gabi and rafe really well . i thought you should get to know dario a little better too , maybe . kate : why ? eduardo : is n't that what you do when you 're serious about someone ? you introduce them into your family . kate : are you serious ? eduardo : i 'm serious . dario : my father is keeping something from kate , but it 's nothing shady . we 're looking to expand the club , and in order to do that , we 're using one of kate 's competitors . blanca : that 's it ? dario : that 's it . me , i think eventually kate 's will find out , and that is between her and my dad . it has nothing to do with us . blanca : right . well , i 'm sorry -- i 'm sorry , i just ... you know , after guillermo , i 'm very ... you know . dario : yeah , i get it . you 're on your guard . but i 'm not guillermo . for one thing , i 'm not an idiot and only an idiot would do something to make you walk away . judge : mr. kiriakis . justin : thank you , your honor . your honor , ms . trask is , as always , quite eloquent . and while it is a fact that my client has confessed to shooting stefano dimera , our job here today is to determine if my client committed first degree murder . to that end , i want to help the court understand why the shooting was not a choice , not a pre - meditated act . that in fact , my client was in such a state that there was , actually , an absence of thought . no decision was made . that moment was the culmination of years and years of torture and abuse . i want to help the court understand that the real victim here is n't stefano dimera . the real victim is hope brady . [ tense music ] | hope and rafe were waiting for her case to start . rafe reminded her that justin got the majority of the charges against her . shawn surprised hope by showing up at the station . adrienne and jennifer talked about hope 's case as well as her wedding to lucas . jennifer was happy that lucas was with someone like her . justin asked her if she wanted to walk to the courthouse together . everyone else arrived at the courthouse . jennifer and julie talked about hope 's confession . hope told rafe that stefano won and that she might get the death penalty . |

[ sighs ] this is the kind of thing that you create when you want to move money around and you want to keep people from following your trail . hope : can you tell what my grandmother was doing with this money , or who 's on the receiving end of these transactions ? austin : well , here 's what i can tell you . i know the amounts , i know the dates , but if you follow these routing numbers right here , what you get is nine different financial institutions , spread out over three continents . including africa . hope : africa ? bo : what the hell was mrs. `` h `` up to ? carrie : i was waiting for will and gabi to leave before i brought this up . i have an update for you on your case . john : i 'm pleading guilty . there 's nothing more for you to do . carrie : i know , that 's why when you made your decision i decided to go and have drinks with the d.a . john : i thought i made myself clear . i want to put an end to this . marlena : john , let 's just hear her out . john : no . my situation 's caused enough damage already . what happened to johnny , what 's going on with sami , and rafe , and will , he 's -- carrie : i 'm just as concerned about them as you are , but they 're not my clients . john : that 's right , they are your family . carrie : so are you . look , i know you want to plead guilty , and that 's your right , but i am your attorney , and it 's still my job to minimize the damage as best i can . john : you still did n't answer my question . what did you do ? will : mom , okay , enough . enough ! mom , stop it . listen to me , okay ? rafe loves you and he loves johnny . why are you blaming him for this ? this is not his fault . sami : i do n't expect you to understand . will : what is there to understand , mom ? johnny is missing , and that is what we should be focused on ! sami : he 's missing because i did n't trust my instincts . because i went to the pub , i took all of you to the pub , and i should 've known better . will : i made -- i wanted to be there , mom . i made that choice for myself . sami : did your brother ? did your six - year - old brother make that choice ? no , he did n't . he went because i told him that 's where the family was going . it was n't safe at the pub , will , and we should have known better . will : how , mom ? how could you have known what was gon na happen ? how could rafe have known what was gon na happen ? rafe : i appreciate what you 're doing , will . i do . defending me . but your mom 's right . i 'm the one who pushed us to go to the pub yesterday . i did it . johnny would n't have been anywhere near there if it was n't for me . johnny would be home right now if i had n't done that . ej : is that another one of your realizations ? `` this is the life we lead . `` stefano : our family has always lived by their own rules . ej : yes , i 'm well aware of that . stefano : and , you know , those rules have given us a lot of rewards , my dear friend . but do n't be a fool and think that there is not a price . the price is sometimes -- is just too much to bear . ej : what exactly are you trying to say , hmm ? stefano : despite all our power , we are not always in control . ej : are you saying this is justified ? that i should just accept that this is the cost of doing business ? my son is not collateral damage . he is my son ! john : [ sighs ] what happened when you met with the d.a . ? carrie : first , what i need you both to understand is there are no promises here , no guarantees . marlena : understood . carrie : when i sat down with the d.a . , i told him i was about to offer him a deal to give the people the justice that they 've been looking for since this whole thing broke if he was willing to cut a deal . john : yeah , what kind of deal ? carrie : i hinted that you would be willing to plead guilty to lesser charges if he was willing to offer a reasonable sentence in return . marlena : oh . wow . that sounds good . does n't it sound good ? john : yeah , yeah , it sounds good . thank you . carrie : well , do n't thank me yet . i 'm still waiting to see if the d.a . will take my offer . marlena : but you 've given us hope here , and we really -- we really appreciate that . hope : nine financial institutions , three continents ? i do n't know what to make of this . austin : look , i 'm gon na keep investigating , and that 'll give us a better idea of where the money 's actually going . hope : what you 've been able to uncover so far is amazing , so thank you very much . austin : [ sighs ] hope , look ... this is none of my business , but somebody obviously went to a lot of trouble to cover their tracks here so i have to ask you guys the question ... [ sighs ] is it possible that your grandmother was being blackmailed ? hope : in the beginning , we -- we thought the same thing . austin : but not anymore ? hope : the one thing that swayed us was the person in the center of it all , my grandmother . austin , you knew her , there 's no way blackmail was ever an option . bo : so we let it go , decided to look at it from a different angle . austin : okay , but i just have to make sure that we 're all on the same page here , because judging by your reactions , is it safe to say that blackmail is back on the table ? rafe : i should 've kept him safe . gabi : no , rafe , no , this is not your fault , okay ? the only person to blame here is the man that picked up that gun and started firing . rafe : yeah , i wish that were true , but it 's not . and the sooner we can all be honest about that , the better . will : i know you do n't mean that . just like my mom does n't mean what she 's saying , because we 're all just scared ... sami : will . will : for john . sami : please do n't speak for me . i do n't want to be angry at you . and i do n't want to blame you . i just want him back . [ sobs ] rafe : sami , you know that i would do anything to get him back . i 'll walk out that door and never come back in this house again if it meant we could get him back . our family is everything to me . god , if i 'd have known ... sami : but you were supposed to know . that 's what i do n't understand . you were supposed to know ! you 're the one with the training , you 're the fbi agent , you 're the salem p.d . officer . you were supposed to know ! i mean , john was in all that danger , and everybody knew that . how come you did n't know we should n't go there ? and now we may never see johnny again ! ej : you claim you love my son , but you talk about him like he 's dispensable . stefano : i never said that . ej : like he 's some object to be bartered , instead of the precious little six- year - old boy that he is . stefano : no , listen -- ej : i do n't want your money , or your wealth , or your power , because my son is irreplaceable . stefano : listen to me when i say , i 'm -- ej : not if that 's the kind of nonsense you 're gon na spout . stefano : now , wait a moment . hold it right there , okay ? i love that boy . more than my own life ! and he loves me . i 'm his nonno . when i think there 's a possibility that that sweet little boy 's life is in danger , it is my worst nightmare . do n't forget ... i 've already lost a son , you know . ej : at least tony had the chance to lead his own life . johnny 's just -- he 's just a little boy . his life is just beginning . i just want to hold him in my arms , just one last time . stefano : i know . i know . i know you do , i know that you do , elvis , it 's just ... the way things are right now , i can not coddle you , that 's all . that 's all i 'm trying to say . ej : what is it that you keep trying to get me to surrender to ? stefano : we do n't lie down . we do not surrender , especially to bastards like john black . ej : meaning what ? you 're just -- are you gon na go after him even harder ? stefano : we 're going to get him and whoever else is responsible for this whole thing , you understand ? if any one of them touches one hair on giovanni 's head -- one hair , they will rue the day that they crossed this family . bo : yeah , i 've got a warrant for the security cameras south of the pier . yeah , go ahead and move on those . no , no , no , do n't worry about them . i 'll take care of the fbi . all right , later . hope : yeah , jen and i were going through some of gran 's personal belongings yesterday , so -- austin : did you find anything ? hope : yes , a very expensive paperweight . austin : and that 's suspicious ? bo : [ sighs ] had an inscription on the bottom of it . hope : `` to alice , a symbol of our bond . `` austin : okay . was it signed , and -- hope : yes , it was . it was signed ... with a phoenix . austin : a phoenix , huh ? so you think the paperweight was given to your grandmother by stefano dimera ? bo : that 's what it looks like . hope : so the answer to your question , austin , is yes . blackmail is back on the table again . austin : i 'm sorry to say it , but i totally agree .

[ sighs ] it 's taken a tremendous toll on him , and ... he is a poor surgical risk at best , and this -- this is brain surgery . steve : i mean , do n't they do radiation , chemotherapy ? kayla : it could maybe shrink the tum -- but radiation to the brain carries its own risks , and ... i could n't guarantee him that the time it gave him would be quality time . you know , i was thinking that , maybe , you know , it would be an option later , you know ? maybe he would think about it when he had time to think about it , but ... i could n't even get him to come back to the hospital with me . maybe you could do that . steve : [ whispers ] sweetness ... i mean , you said that you ca n't guarantee what his life is gon na be like after the treatment , right ? and you know your brother , he 's not gon na go for this . kayla : i know . i know . i know it . steve : come here , baby .

[ stammers ] anyway -- just anyway , if you hear anything , will you let me know , please ? thank you . [ somber music ] nicole : brady ? are you okay ? brady : she said she loved me and tate . she said that we were the only things she ever needed in the world and that i knew her better than anyone in the world . and , now ... i do n't even know her at all . [ scene_break ] justin : i no way do i wish to diminish the fact that a man was murdered . but i intend to prove that the person who pulled the trigger -- a decorated police detective is not the cold - blooded vigilante the prosecution would have you believe she is . that in the defendant 's mind , when she shot stefano dimera , she was protecting herself and her family from a man who presented an imminent threat to her life . when a mother 's children are in danger -- when a wife 's husband has been tortured and has died in her arms -- when years of captivity and abuse and persecution overwhelm you , and the monster before you owns it all and laughs with delight as you emotionally unravel before him , what would you do ? what would anyone do ? justin : by strictly confining this case to the day stefano dimera was shot , district attorney trask is ignoring the motivating factors that led hope brady to show up at the dimera mansion in the first place . she 's approaching this case as if these two people -- the victim and the convicted , were strangers when as we all know , they shared a long and complicated and , yes , extremely violent history . a history that the court must weigh in its entirety when taking into account the defendant 's motive and possible premeditation on the day in question . i present to the court , exhibit a . you 've already heard the case against hope brady , here is the case against stefano dimera . trask : i object ! i will not allow defense counsel to put the victim of this heinous crime on trial here ! justin : if only i 'd had that chance , but since stefano always found ways to avoid standing trial for any charges -- judge : all right ! overruled . why do n't you share the contents of the file with the court , mr. kiriakis ? justin : as you wish , your honor . this folder contains 13 depositions of witnesses attesting to a time when stefano held my client prisoner , keeping her from her loved ones , perpetrated calumny , an elaborate lie on the people of salem , so that they all believed hope was dead . they grieved for her . they mourned . and stefano laughed . trask : seriously , your honor , is the court going to dignify this attempt by defense counsel to justify his client 's actions ? justin : it also contains witnessed accounts whereby stefano enlisted officers of the law and the court , using various forms of bribery and coercion , to have all the ensuing charges dropped ... or made to disappear altogether . may i approach ? amazing who can be bought and sold if the price is right . trask : again , your honor , i strongly object to the use of anything inside that file -- judge : overruled ! i will examine the documents contained in the file and give them appropriate consideration along with any and all testimony presented today before making my ruling . justin : thank you , your honor . your honor , the law states clearly that an individual may use deadly force in an act of self - defense if they reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent another individual from inflicting great bodily harm or death . would you agree with that ? judge : yes . justin : given the history of violence perpetrated on hope and her family by one stefano dimera , how could she reasonably believe he would n't inflict the same torture she had endured in the past ? in my hand are two psychiatric evaluations of hope brady 's mental state . trask : this is irrelevant , your honor . judge : i 'll allow it . justin : two separately conducted reports which concur that the defendant suffered intense emotional and mental stress as a result of repeated trauma , proving that when hope brady pulled that trigger , she did so as a reaction to years of relentless torture . and always , while hope was at his mercy , stefano laughed . the doctors also corroborate that at the time of the shooting , hope brady was , most likely , in a fugue state and clearly not in control of her actions . therefore , your honor , based on these reports , i conclude this was not a case of premeditated murder . not an act of vengeance or vigilantism . but was , instead , the reaction of a woman who felt threatened and , acting on pure instinct , carried out an act of self - preservation . and now , with the court 's permission , the defendant would like to tell , in her own words , what she remembers about the day in question . judge : permission granted . justin : the defense calls hope brady to the stand . [ dramatic music ] [ scene_break ] theresa : you know , i need to thank aunt kayla for saving my life ... and for checking me in here under a different name so brady 'd never find out . shane : you should thank victor , too . he 's the one who found you unconscious in your bedroom . theresa : you know , one ray of light through this whole thing has been the way victor stepped up . he did n't have the power to combat mateo in open warfare , but he has been sympathetic to my cause . and he -- he has n't judged me once . now he saved my life . shane : it 's not just brady you need to be hiding from . i 'm worried mateo may have got wind of this and i would n't put it past him to take advantage of your unconscious state to whisk you away . that 's why i 'm gon na have a man on you as soon as you leave here . you wo n't see him , but we ca n't take any chances . theresa : yeah , you 're right . mateo 's definitely getting impatient with me tying up loose ends with brady . which means i 'm gon na need to speed up the process of breaking things off with brady . shane : i 'm so sorry you have to go through this . theresa : i know . but hey , what 's the saying ? old sins cast long shadows . you know , i set all this in motion a long , long time ago . and i have to see it play out . shane : i know . it 's -- it 's one thing for me to put myself in danger -- i 've been trained to do that , but you , on the other hand -- theresa : i do n't have a choice , dad . i can do this . shane : i know you can . theresa : well , i promise you , no more drugs , no more desperate hopelessness . i can do this . love will be my motivation . love will be my strength . brady : it 's almost like she 's pushing me away on purpose , nic , you know ? but for the life of me , i ca n't -- i ca n't understand why . 'cause a few weeks ago , she -- she was telling me how happy she was . that -- that me and tate , we ... made her life complete . nicole : well , that 'll do it . brady : that 'll do it ? what do you mean ? [ somber music ] nicole : well , whenever i get close to being really , really happy , i always find a way to screw it up . i mean , you 've observed that for years . you know , maybe that 's what theresa 's doing . you know , and if it is -- and for whatever reason , she 's reverting back to her old ways . brady ... it 's not because she 's stopped loving you . maybe she just does n't ... trust that love yet . brady : i thought about that . and it does n't make sense because she said she 's been feeling this way for a long time now . that she 's been trying to work it out , but she just ca n't get over the boredom of , uh -- of her life and me . nicole : boredom ? brady : yeah . nicole : oh , come on . you are a wonderful man who loves her unconditionally and you have this beautiful baby boy . brady : i know . you know , she also said she said that when we , uh , exchanged our vows ... she was stoned . that 's what she said . nicole : stoned ? brady : mm - hmm . nicole : no , you -- you of all people would 've known that . you would 've seen it . brady : right , i thought i would 've seen it , right ? but i - i did n't . i mean , maybe i was oblivious to it . maybe i did n't -- maybe i did n't want to see it . maybe i did n't wan na see the signs because i did n't want to face the truth . nicole : brady , i 'm sorry . [ tate coos ] nicole : oh , may i ? brady : of course you can . nicole : whee . hi . hi , buddy . hi . hey , it 's me . huh ? [ chuckles ] oh , my goodness . brady : theresa used to -- she used to look at him like that . nicole : mm - hmm . brady : she used to dote on him . she used -- she would n't allow him cry for more than ten seconds . she would read to him when he was awake . she would ... take thousands of photos of him . she doted on him , i mean ... but a couple weeks ago , it just changed . nicole : how so ? brady : she avoided him . she 's been avoiding him and it 's like -- it 's like it 's hurtful for her to be around the poor guy . nicole : yeah , well , um ... babies change everything , huh ? yeah . brady : they do , right ? nicole : yeah . brady : changed me . she said it changed her . she said that motherhood ... saved her , but , i mean , was that a lie ? i mean , nicole , i know you think that maybe she felt like she was n't deserving of love or something , but ... i just do n't understand how that could be the cause of it . is that why she relapsed ? the drugs and the alcohol ? is that why she feels like she 's trapped in a marriage ? because one minute she 's this loving mother and the next minute she 's full of ... resentment ... and anger . it 's not right . i want to know why and i want to know what triggered it . nicole : okay . okay . [ scene_break ] [ dramatic music ] hope : i 'm -- i 'm supposed to tell you what happened the last time i saw stefano dimera ... but the truth is , your honor , is that , um ... the details of that day , they are n't -- they are n't very clear . i mean , i do remember going to the dimera mansion to confront stefano . i wanted him to confess to the kidnapping and torture of bo brady . all of the evidence pointed to him and i was so sure and i was so convinced that he was behind all of it . and , as mr. kiriakis just pointed to you , he 'd done the same exact thing to me . trask : objection ! the victim 's past behavior is completely irrelevant . judge : sustained . continue , ms. brady . hope : i did n't go to the dimera mansion with the intent to kill . i went in search of the truth . i honestly do n't remember pulling the trigger ... but i did . and whatever -- whatever my fate holds ... and the court decides ... i honestly will never forgive myself for what i did . i am responsible for what happened . and i will live with that the rest of my life and carry it with me . judge : does the defense have anything else ? justin : nothing further , your honor . judge : you may step down . trask : we will now hear from the victim 's family .

[ scene_break ] billie : guess what bo and i just finished doing ? patrick : [ chuckles ] what ? billie : we just finished going over the computer files from the dimera mainframe . you remember -- the one that you were working on at the island . patrick : and ? billie : and ... i 've sent the files off to our london office so they could have a stab at them . all except one little part . patrick : yeah , what is it ? billie : your life story . you know , being the inquisitive person that i am , i came across your name . my curiosity was piqued . so i decoded the material and i found out all sorts of fascinating things about you , patrick lockhart . here . take it . it 'll take the i.s.a . months , if not years , to uncover all the data on that material . and in relation to the dimeras , no offense , but you 're relatively low priority . the i.s.a . does n't need to know any of this . patrick : but you know my whole story , is that it ? billie : yes . decoding things is my specialty . that 's why i allowed myself to be kidnapped -- so that i could have access to the dimera mainframe . patrick : so you got what you wanted . now what ? billie : now it 'll take the i.s.a . months to decipher all that information . but all in all , i 'd say our mission was a success . jennifer : how can it be a success when so many lives were lost ? [ scene_break ] john : oh , kate , come on . sa -- [ groans ] belle : dad , are you okay ? john : everybody knows that you and sami do n't exactly get along , but ... come on , do you honestly think that sami would marry lucas just to spite you ? kate : yes , i do , because she told me so herself . belle : she did ? kate , i 'm sure she did n't mean it . you know sami 's always saying crazy stuff when she 's upset . kate : belle , she meant every word she said to me . and she takes great pleasure in repeating it to me every time she sees me . john : i have to agree with belle . i think sami loves lucas . kate : well , maybe she thinks she 's in love with lucas . but that 's certainly not the reason that she 's rushing in to marry him . in fact , i only predict unhappiness for the two of them because her heart belongs to someone else . belle : what ? who ? kate : brandon walker . in fact , the reason you probably ca n't find her right now is that she 's with him . belle : brandon ? wait , i thought he 'd left salem . kate : no , he 's back in town . john : [ groans ] kate : in fact , i really need to go check on lucas . um , is there anything i can get for you ? john : no . i 'm fine , thanks . kate : okay . i 'll check in on you later . kate : belle , i 'm sorry if i upset you because of what i said about sami . it 's just that i - i 'm so worried about lucas and will . belle : no , i understand . kate : thank you . you hang in there . belle : i will . belle : i know sami loves lucas . john : but ? belle : well , i know she loved brandon , too . okay , i would never say this in front of kate , but sami told me for some reason she 's been thinking about brandon a lot lately . she swore she 's over him , but if he 's back in town ... what if kate 's right ? [ scene_break ] sami : so ... you 're glad that brandon is here ? lucas : i am . i mean , if he did n't stop you , who knows , you probably would have done something incredibly stupid . sami : lucas ... lucas : well , i just do n't want you to hurt yourself , all right ? i 'm glad he was here to stop you . the last time you were this upset , you tackled that bottle of vodka , and that vodka won . sami : do n't remind me . lucas : i just love you , all right ? i want you to know i 'm always there for you . sami : i love you , too . brandon : hey , sorry to interrupt , but i really need to leave . lucas : i did n't mean to ignore you earlier . we just needed to talk about some things . brandon : no problem . lucas : so , welcome back . i had no idea you were moving back to salem . brandon : thanks , but i 'm not . i 'm not staying for good . no , i came back to see my family , and then out of the blue , my dad came home . sami : yeah , we 're really glad to hear that abe is alive . brandon : yeah , me too . i do n't know if you know . he , uh , he 's lost his eyesight . sami : oh , my god . lucas : that 's terrible . i 'm sorry about that . sami : i had no idea . brandon : yeah . yeah , so i 'm gon na stick around until , you know , he gets back on his feet . i figured lexie will need some help . and besides , i just miss my family , so ... lucas : well , maybe i could talk to the hospital board and you can do some consulting while you 're here to keep you busy or something . brandon : ah , i appreciate that , but , uh , now that your mom has offered to fund one of my outreach programs for kids , i think i 'll have my hands full . but thanks . sami : [ thinking ] i knew it . kate is responsible for brandon coming back to salem . brandon : so , i 'll see you guys later . and by the way , congratulations on your engagement . sami : thanks . lucas : thanks . go outside and get some fresh air ? what is it ? what 's wrong now , huh ? come on . kate : lucas , i 've been looking all over for you . sami : god , you little witch , i 'm gon na kill you !

'cause it seems to me the only thing you really care about is yourself ! sami : shut up ! you just shut up ! ej : oh , no , you jump from man to man , doing whatever your little selfish heart desires ! who cares if it leaves your children without any stability or without a father ? sami : i 'm not gon na listen to this for one more second . you gave me sole custody . you made that choice , because you knew that sydney and johnny are better with me than they are with you ! ej : do you know what ? and , god , do i regret it now . i did n't know it cost my kids their life ! sami : you think i 'm a bad parent ? why do n't you take a look in the mirror , ej ?

eve : well , that 's a -- that 's a tough lie to pull off . theresa : exactly . so then he went to the next worst place . eve : oh no . theresa : yeah . i mean , what are the last three words you ever want to hear in that situation ? both : `` is it mine ? `` theresa : yeah . eve : oh , man . are you kidding me ? theresa : so , of course in that moment , i 'm thinking , `` well , no , you bastard . it 's mine , and i -- , `` i just -- part of me wanted to walk away , you know , and never talk to him again , and then i 'm just thinking why -- why would i ever put myself in such a humiliating , vulnerable place in front of anyone if i did n't have to ? eve : ugh , what a smug son of a bitch . but , i 'm sorry , in all fairness , sweetheart . theresa : `` in all fairness , `` what ? like , i cheated on him ? eve : no , no , but you did clock his father in the head , and made brady think that he 'd done it . i mean , the man nearly died . i mean , you know , that kinda trust thing 's kinda gone . theresa : yeah . i guess . but , please , i mean , this was something that he did do , his baby . eve : only it was n't . how 'd you find that out ? theresa : i went to kayla at the hospital and we got a blood test . eve : oh , well , god , that 's not something you do if you 're really trying to pull off a scam . theresa : thank you . eve : right . theresa : just standing there waiting for brady to see , i ... i was just hoping he would realize how crummy he was being to the mother of his child . only i was n't . eve : that 's just awful . awful . i wish that you 'd double checked that home pregnancy test . it would 've saved you a hell of a lot of trouble . jj : when i found out what my dad did , i wanted to burn the town down . i trashed the town square . paige : i know . everyone understood . jj : no , they did n't . they could n't because that 's not all . it 's not like i just broke a few windows and it was over . i was angry all the time . paige : i can see why . jj : everyone -- my family , my mom , daniel , i - i made his life hell . and i was doing drugs with theresa , and the night i - i almost hooked up with her , i could have gone to jail . paige : but you did n't . and you turned your life around . jj : no , that 's what it looked like . like it was all over , but i - i -- maybe i even thought that sometimes . but i was just fooling myself . when this got brought up with aunt kayla , all that stuff just came rushing back in . do you remember how i was when you first tried to talk to me about it ? paige : you were surprised . jj : i was a lot more than that , paige . i was angry . and i was defensive . and that does n't just go away . i mean , that is me . i - i 'm this angry jerk of -- of a guy , and i mean , it -- it , even worse , i was -- i was that guy with you , and that will never be okay . you should not be around someone like that . like me . daniel : okay , okay . what was that ? nicole : it slipped that time . daniel : okay , if you just -- if you grip it by the laces like i showed you , it should n't . okay , now , i want you to just -- i want you to get your arm up , and here 's the key . point in the direction you want the ball to go . nicole : hey , i aimed it at that old lady 's walker . she was giving me a look . daniel : yeah ? what did that car window ever do to you ? nicole : is this really relaxing for you ? daniel : yeah , it is relaxing to me ; come on , let 's do this . here we go . nicole : okay . daniel : yeah , all right . nicole : all right , all right . daniel : that 's it . both : [ grunting ] nicole : [ chuckling ] daniel : wow , that was -- that was a close one . that -- yeah , so ... you have a problem with that little blade of grass right there ? nicole : no , i spiked it . that 's what they do , right ? when they get a touchdown ? i was practicing . i was practicing my spike . randy : dr. jonas , can you tie my shoe ? my mom is pushing my sister on the swing . daniel : yeah , yeah , randy . why do n't i teach you how to do it instead ? you think ? you know , it 's really -- it 's not that hard if you concentrate . nicole : yoga 's not that hard if you concentrate either . jordan : i know how you feel about chad . ben : i thought i 'd hidden it so well . jordan : but he 's been really nice to me . ben : uh , yeah . jordan , look in a mirror . you 're a beautiful woman . of course he 's going to try and run his game on you . jordan : well , maybe it 's not a game . maybe that 's just how he is when people are n't throwing punches . ben : [ scoffs ] sis , trust me , i can see this guy coming from a mile away . he 's going to hurt you . clyde : hate to disagree with you , son , but i think he 's a solid guy . a real good match for your sister . chad : he wants to be sure you know he 's not making a play for energy futures . kate : and then he 'll snap it up , and leave it to me to explain to the board how i let the perfect acquisition just slip away . chad : he 's setting you up . kate : yeah , i ca n't believe that stefano believes i 'm that stupid . chad : well , that 's how you ended up in charge . kate : that 's how i 'm going to stay in charge . you can come back tomorrow . you 'll see what an ass your father is . i 'm going to get on the phone , and i 'm going to finalize that deal before the markets open in europe . chad : and the board will be forever grateful , and make you ceo for life . look , you 've played this perfectly all along , kate . kate : i learned from the masters . chad : there is one thing we have n't covered yet , and we really should , for both our sakes . hey , hey , i 'm butting in . ben : can you just give me and jordan a few minutes , please ? jordan : no , it 's okay . clyde is entitled to his opinion . ben : i 'll be right back . jordan : can we make sure that we never , ever run into each other again ? because trying to be polite in front of ben is -- clyde : come on , i 'm backing you up . jordan : i do n't give a damn what you think about chad or anything else . clyde : so everything 's got to be a fight between you and me ? even when we agree ? jordan : [ scoffs ] what exactly do you think it is that we agree on ? clyde : chad dimera . he 's a good guy . he 's just dealing with a lot since his brother died . kinda like you , tammy sue . makes for a strong bond sometimes . jordan : where do you get off trying to give me advice ? i will say it again . i do not give a damn what you think . ben : where 'd jordan go ? clyde : uh , she had to go back to work . asked me to say goodbye . ben : uh - huh . did you upset her ? clyde : [ scoffs ] not on purpose . you 've heard me say it , all i want is for her to be happy . brady : kayla ran a better test , and it came out negative . victor : how 'd that little bitch think she was going to get away with that ? brady : i do n't know . victor : well ... the point is , theresa 's not pregnant . you handled it . how does that make you a screw - up ? she tried to play you , and you cut her off at the knees . brady : i 'm going . theresa : look , brady ... brady : i 'm going . theresa : hey , i do n't know what happened , okay ? but i did n't , and i would n't lie about this because there would be no point . like you said , i would have been found out . brady : you were found out . theresa : i really thought that i was pregnant . it would n't make any sense for me to do what i did if i did n't really , really believe it . brady : you know what ? maybe i will stay . i 'll stay . theresa : thank you . brady : you see , i do n't know what 's going on in that head of yours , but i know what 's going on in mine . and it 's time you heard what i had to say . i 'm not sure theresa was trying to play me . theresa : i was sure . eve : only ... you were n't . theresa : the test said positive ! eve : it was a home pregnancy test . maybe you read it the way that you wanted to read it . i mean , it 's not some random hook - up here . this is brady black we 're talking about . this is the guy you 've been wanting to catch , honey . theresa : he 's not a freaking fish , eve . so why do n't you just call me a gold digger tramp ? eve : hey , hey , hey . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean that , and it came out completely wrong 'cause i know that you care about this guy . i 'm just saying -- look at me -- maybe we 're not that different . we believe what we want to believe , and then we have to pay the price . paige : that 's not how i see you . jj : because i 'm good at hiding it . i look like this -- this normal guy , right ? but i 'm not . i am carrying around all this garbage , and it comes out . and i ca n't do that to you . okay , it is so not cool , and , um , i - i - i ca n't be around you anymore . paige : so , earlier ... you said you loved me . was that true ? ben : all i need are my transcripts , and first payment , and i can start in january . ben : you know , i 've already talked to the admissions office about that bill , you 're good to go . you decided on a major yet ? [ chuckles ] i 'm kidding , man . you do n't need to know that now . and , no , you certainly do n't need to tell the old man . ben : well , i 'll definitely tell you when i do know . clyde : well , if you want , but like i said , there 's no strings attached for this money . you just know that the day you get that diploma , it 'll be the proudest day of my life . jordan : dr. evans , this is jordan ridgeway . i was hoping that maybe you could , uh ... you know what ? uh , i do n't need to bother you . this is ... i - i can get the information i need on my own . uh , the information , i mean , i -- never mind , i 'm sorry to bother you . nicole : oh , this is so stupid . daniel : and bam ! randy : thanks , dr. dan . you 're nice . daniel : thank you , buddy . i 'm glad someone thinks so . nicole : oh , the hell with it . [ chuckles ] oh my god , daniel ? daniel ? brady : i mean , you said it yourself . i mean , how could theresa expect to get away with a lie like that ? i mean , say what you want about the woman ... victor : and i will , at length . brady : but she 's not stupid . victor : well . brady : i - i think she believes that she was pregnant . maybe it was a false positive , or maybe she did n't read the test right at home . i do n't know . victor : no , who knows how that simple bitch managed to delude herself . the point is , she 's not pregnant . there 's nothing to tie you two together . you 're rid of that one , for good . theresa : well , thanks for cheering me up , sis . i , uh , just really appreciate it . eve : you 're welcome . theresa : you know what ? just forget that i even came by , okay ? forget everything i said , and please just do n't tell mom and dad . eve : well , i do n't think we 'll have to worry about that . i 'm sure kayla will take care of that for us . theresa : she 's a doctor . she ca n't say anything . eve : not officially . theresa : [ exhales deeply ] i need a real drink , you know . that is the silver lining . i can have a stiff drink without feeling guilty about it , and find someone worth talking to . eve : i wonder who your next victim 's going to be ? theresa : oh , like you have any right to judge me on that score , eve , okay ? eve : you know , jeannie , you 're damn lucky that you did n't end up in jail after everything you 've pulled . damn lucky ! oh , my god , are you all right ? theresa : i , uh , i do n't know . i just ... [ sniffles ] just do n't call me lucky , okay ? that is the last thing i feel right now . jj : it 's not about whether or not i love you . paige : because you do . love me . just like i love you . but you need some time to , you know , sort out all this stuff that came up , and i get that . and i can give you the space to do that . jj : paige -- paige : you do n't believe me ? i 'll totally stay out of your way . unless you need me . i can be there if you want me to help , okay ? i 'll see you tomorrow . jj : paige , wait -- paige : no , we -- we can talk more about it tomorrow if you want , okay ? you 're not alone , jj . okay ? know that . i 'm not going anywhere . simone : what are we celebrating , stefano ? stefano : the total destruction of a woman who betrayed me . [ laughing ] salud ! kate : do n't worry . you 're covered . i 'll cover you . chad : glad to hear it . kate : mm . stefano will never know that you helped me bring him down . chad : he will absolutely know that . it 'll be hard to avoid . in fact , it 's kind of the point . kate : what 's that ? chad : take a look . i had it drawn up a while back , once i was sure we would end up here . kate : you bastard . now , come a little bit closer , liz . | stefano called chad and let him know that he had to tie the noose around kate 's neck . eve told theresa that she could n't sing anymore . theresa wanted to know who she was with to get over it . jj told paige that he 's not good enough for her . stefano told chad to let kate think that he did n't want his company . chad walked in on kate and clyde kissing at the dimera mansion . eve got offended when theresa thought she was a man . theresa apologized and asked her about paige and jj . eve became uncomfortable with the conversation and wanted to talk about theresa . theresa told her how she thought she was pregnant , but she was n't . brady talked to victor about kristen and theresa . paige did n't understand why jj was n't good for her . jj used jack 's rape as an excuse . |

[ cell phone chimes ] steve : uh - oh . here we go . `` if you know who i am , then you know this is serious . `` kayla : what does that mean ? steve : it means you kicked the hornet 's nest , baby . kayla : well , good . steve : well , now what ? what 's our next move ? kayla : i thought that you would figure that out . [ phone rings ] kayla : kayla brady . oh , oh , i completely forgot . i - i mean , i did n't forget . i just -- yeah , i lost track of time . i 'll be right there . steve : what -- wait , where you going ? kayla : i have a whole room full of interns waiting for me , so i need to go handle that . in the meantime , you figure out who we 're dealing with .

[ chuckles ] no one more than me . gabi : what 's up ? rafe : yeah , you know , you might want to sit down for this . you know , it 's not bad news , though . it 's not . it 's about will . gabi : what about him ? rafe : you heard about what happened , memphis , susan banks -- gabi : yeah , she says that will really is dead , but is there more to the story ? rafe : yeah . yeah , there 's more . okay , listen , we went back to memphis , and we found will . sis . sis , look at me . he 's alive . gabi : oh , my god ! rafe : he 's alive . gabi : are you saying will 's alive ? rafe : yes . gabi : are you sure ? rafe : no , i 'm totally sure . gabi : oh , my goodness ! that 's the best news ever . rafe : but wait , wait , wait . okay ? there 's more . marlena : no , no , wait a minute . will thinks he 's ej ? sami : susan told him that i 'm his ex - wife . it makes me sick to even think about . marlena : oh , my god . how -- how could she possibly convince him of that ? i mean , ej is -- sami : british and tall and ... straight and dead . marlena : but why would she go to such extremes ? sami : she hates me that much . she blames me for ej 's death . marlena : oh , right , yeah , that 's your fault . sami : and then remember how she came to salem and she told ej that there was this bad aura around me and that anyone near me was going to get hurt ? marlena : and she 's had two years to fill his head full of that kind of nonsense . i 'm so sorry . sami : it 's just -- i risked everything to find will , and then i did , and now he 's looking at me like i 'm the bad guy . susan : so you said you wanted to know all about ej dimera . well , this here 's a box . it 's all about you ... my ej . look at that . that 's the very first time you had a haircut . it 's a little lock of your hair . look how sweet that is . i tied it with a little blue ribbon . and look at this . that 's your very first tooth that you lost . now , you were something when you were little . most kids , they get real excited when they lose their baby teeth because they know that it means a visit from the tooth fairy , but not you . you wanted me to stick that tooth right back up in your mouth with super glue . will : [ chuckles ] susan : you were something else . you did n't even want me to hide it under your pillow or nothing . and you see this ? that is your birth certificate . it has my name right there , susan banks , and then there 's your daddy 's name , stefano dimera . look how cute your little footprint was . will : how come i ca n't read the date ? susan : that 's because somebody smudged it with his sticky fingers 'cause you had peanut butter on everything when you were little . you put it just on bananas and eggs and stuff you would n't believe . will : [ laughs ] i -- i did ? susan : you did . you know who you are . you 're my wonderful son , ej dimera . i do n't want you to get caught up in sami brady 's horrible web of lies anymore , okay ? i do n't want you to let her hurt you again . will : i -- i do n't understand how i could 've been married to her . mom , the thought kind of horrifies me . susan : well , it makes you kind of want to throw up in your mouth . i know . she has that effect on everybody , i think . it 's horrifying . will : you know ... even if that 's true , i -- i still have questions . you know , i have more questions . what about -- what about all those people besides sami , everyone from salem , the -- the cop , that guy , sonny , who kissed me , and he said he was my husband , and he said we have a kid together . why would he say all that if it were n't true ? marlena : sami , i remember when you found out about my affair with john . you were -- you were beyond upset . you were outraged . you -- you never wanted to see me again . sami : but you ca n't compare that to this situation with will . i mean , yes , i was disillusioned with you . marlena : no , no , no , no . actually , you hated me . [ soft music ] sami : yeah . yeah , i hated you . marlena : honey , i 'm bringing it up to say to you that even after that , you and i , we got past it , and i think that you and will can get past this as well . sami : well , now that i think about it , will 's said things like that to me a thousand times . i mean , he 's looked at me like that before . maybe that is will . i mean , it -- that 's so will . it 's in there somewhere . i mean , maybe that 's the way to get through to him . maybe susan 's crazy brainwashing scheme is gon na backfire on her . susan : you want to know why everybody 's on sami 's side ? i 'm gon na tell you why . everybody wants to get their hands on the dimera fortune . everybody wants a piece of you , elvis , 'cause of who you are and where you come from . i 've tried so hard to protect you your whole life , and it has not been easy . will : [ stammers ] sonny -- he seemed so sincere . susan : well , you know why , right ? he 's on sami 's team . she probably manipulated him to . will : yeah . susan : i mean , if you think about it , do n't you think you 'd remember if you were married to a man and you had a child ? right ? will : mm . susan : you are my everything . i love you so much . i 'd do anything for you . i just want you to listen to your heart , okay ? 'cause your heart knows the truth . paul : i wish i knew what happened when sonny talked to will last night , but he 's ignoring my calls . john : so you do n't even know why will did n't go back to salem ? paul : well , if i did , it might clear things up a little , but ... when i saw will here at the bar , it was obvious no one was keeping him against his own will . [ sighs ] i -- i keep thinking that if he wanted to go back to salem , he would 've . john : that 's a good point . paul : but there 's got to be more to the story that we do n't know . john : yeah , i know , and doc 's saying the same thing . paul : okay , if will does n't remember his old life , in a way that 's worse . feelings never die . think about it . sonny and will were estranged at the time of will 's death . if will does n't remember that , and then sonny never forgives me for my lies -- john : hey , do you know what , son ? i think you 're getting ahead of yourself here a little bit , so let 's just -- paul : will 's lapse in judgment might be the thing that pushes sonny back into will 's arms . i mean , for all i know they could be together right now . sonny : when will died , when we thought he died , he and i were separated . adrienne : oh , i know . so ? sonny : so why is paul being so insecure about our relationship ? adrienne : sonny , can you honestly tell me he has nothing to be afraid of , that you have no feelings for will ? yeah . so what all did you tell will ? i mean , did you tell him the last time you saw him , you were separated ? sonny : i did n't tell him that . i did n't want to lay that on him 'cause he was already feeling overwhelmed . adrienne : okay , i get that . so what are you gon na do next ? sonny : i have to make him remember who i am and what we had together . i have to go back and try again . rafe : and the reason that will has n't come home is because he was brainwashed . susan somehow managed to make him think that he is ej -- ej dimera . gabi : what ? rafe : yeah , and that sami is the devil incarnate . eli : i -- i 'm sorry . i do n't know any of these people . i 'm not following . rafe : yeah , well , i do know these people , and it 's still hard to follow , but it happened . this is true . gabi : well , i just -- so hold on . let me understand this . you 're saying that will does not remember me or arianna ? rafe : no , i 'm sorry to say . hopefully we can get him back here to salem and he 'll get his memory back , but ... gabi : okay . rafe : it 's a lot to take in . i know . gabi : yeah , but it 's okay . i 'm happy . i 'm happy for me . i 'm happy for arianna . i just feel like i should be doing something . rafe : oh , no . actually , please , do not do anything , okay ? i need to keep this under wraps . lucas does n't know about it . i want sami to be the one to tell him , okay ? gabi : of course . rafe : okay . i just thought , you know , you 're ari 's mom , and you should be told about it , right ? gabi : oh , thank you . of course , thank you . thank you . rafe : yeah . all right , kid , i got to get back to the station . do you have that file , the one for hope that 's -- eli : yeah . rafe : oh . okay , if you need anything , please call me . i love you . gabi : i love you too . [ soft music ] john : i know your mind is going in all these weird places right now , but let 's not think about worst - case scenario , okay ? let 's just ... well , you know works for me is dealing with the facts . now , the facts are , sonny and will , they had a rocky relationship , and there is a reason why they were separated . now , if you love sonny as much as i think you do and you 're as competitive as i know you are , you wo n't stop fighting for him . paul : but will 's marlena 's grandson . do n't you want him to be happy ? john : of course i want him to be happy , just like i want sonny to be happy , but most of all i want you to be happy . [ cell phone rings ] it 's doc . she needs me down at the police station . you gon na be okay ? paul : yeah , yeah . i 'm fine . john : all right , kid . paul : just go . tell marlena i 'm sorry . john : all right . paul : no , you know what ? don't . i want to tell her myself . john : hey , you hang in there . you know , you and sonny , you found your way back to each other after all those years . if it 's meant to be , it will be . paul : [ sighs ] marlena : you know , the memory is such a tricky thing . in the early years , the memories we think that we will never forget , well , they can leave a lasting impression on us . sami : so that 's what i need to focus on , right , will 's memory of him finding out that i lied to him about his paternity and all those years that lucas and i were fighting over him ? he 'll remember that . he 'll be will again , but he 'll hate me . marlena : that 's not what i 'm saying . what i am saying to you is , he will remember how much you loved him , that you were the one who loved him the most . i 'm gon na see if i can find out what 's happening with justin . sami : okay . do n't bother . you 're sprung . sami : i am ? i hope you 're paying that lawyer of yours a pretty penny . he 's a miracle worker . got your restraining order lifted too . sami : he did ? that 's -- that 's incredible . oh , great . okay , i have to go find will . marlena : no , you know , that might not be the best idea . susan : here we go .

[ scene_break ] daniel : what ? and that 's it ? the cdc says they 're testing ? they 're not even gon na take a guess as to what we 're dealing with here ? ben : no , not that they 're sharing . carly : that test could take days . ben : we sent both blood and tissue samples from nathan and melanie , but they wo n't arrive till later tonight . daniel : no , no . we need to know what this is now . we ca n't fight this thing in the dark . ben : daniel , i 'll let you know the minute i hear anything . i promise . maxine : the emergency response is almost done on this floor . i 'm gon na need blood in a minute , dr. jonas . daniel : okay , okay . maxine : nathan and melanie are in the isolation unit . their readings say they 're both stable . carly : okay , that 's something , right ? daniel : yeah . thank you . philip : hey . listen , if there 's anything i can do -- anything . private jet , money . anything . say the word . carly : thank you . [ scene_break ] rafael : if you know something that i can do to help her -- bo : marry her . i mean , you guys are engaged anyway . marry her , like , yesterday . once you guys are husband and wife , there 's no way you can testify against each other . not that that 's really a guarantee if ej decides to come after her with that confession . the d.a . might play hardball . even if he keeps it private , the cops are working on a case right now . that could pop at any second and my hands are tied . rafael : well , then that 's it . sami and i are gon na get married ... tonight . caroline : you 're what ?

kayla : well , i did n't mean to be blunt , but everybody at the hospital knows that you almost died from a drug overdose . so you ca n't think that you have job security after that . theresa : this is jennifer 's doing , is n't it ? you know , she 's just out to get me . kayla : well , if she was , would you blame her ? theresa : i did n't even know that daniel was there when i overdosed . kayla : daniel is not the only reason that she has misgivings about you , and you know it . jj : so you 're theresa 's parents ?

he does n't know about this , does he ? gabi : [ sighs ] look , i wanted to tell him this morning , but then he had to leave . so then i just thought i 'd rather talk to you first to see if it was even worth storing something up . justin : will is the father of your child , gabi . he obviously takes that role very seriously . you need to level with him before you even start considering your options . gabi : well , that 's what i wanted to do , but then your son sonny saw the contract accidentally , and he wanted me to talk to you . before that , i did n't even know what i was gon na do . and then , i have sonny and will telling me what a great opportunity this is and how i should n't dismiss it . justin : do they know if you sign this contract , that you 'll have to move to new york ? gabi : no , they do n't . justin : you do n't feel the need to tell them that ? gabi : [ sighs ] okay , you do n't know how they were talking to me . i mean , they said that -- that it was gon na be a great way for me to have a career and make a living for myself and arianna , and how it 's the same thing , you know , with sonny , with the club and will would have with his writing . and honestly , i hate keeping that -- that part away from them , that i 'd have to move to new york , but i do n't think i should even get them upset before i know if it 's even worth it . and i 'm not gon na know that until you read the contract . will : so workshopping the stuff that i -- that i wrote was very cool , but it was scary 'cause i had to share my work with strangers . yeah . ej : well , william , god , you know you 're very good . otherwise , they would n't have invited you to the seminar in the first place . will : yeah . sami : i am so proud of you . will : oh , thanks . okay , i am going to leave because sounds like i ca n't really do anything for uncle eric , and i wan na go see my beautiful daughter . sami : oh , i checked in on them a few times while you were gone , and sonny and gabi were doing a great job . will : yes , i know . this is working out better than i ever thought . gabi : so what 's goin ' on ?

gabi : yes , if he thinks that i 'm trying to take his daughter away from him , yes , i think he 's gon na put up a fight . nick : you do n't think he 's ever considered that the situation with all three of you living there is temporary and that you guys might have to part ways at some point ? gabi : okay , but neither one of us has ever talked about leaving town . nick : but that 's because you 're not even leaving . i mean , you 're gon na be back here , like , once a month , and he can go to new york . gabi : he went to california for a week , and he was telling me how much he missed arianna . i mean , this is gon na kill him . nick : look , gabi , all you 're doing is you 're moving somewhere where you can have a career , and you can take care of your daughter . you 're not cutting will out . and even if he did make trouble for you , what judge is gon na rule against you ?

tripp : well , sierra saw the news about why i 'm confessing to planting the evidence . she was just like , `` i -- i ca n't believe that it 's him . `` so , like , what if she talks to him ? what -- what if he cracks ? i mean , he 's not exactly a guy who kept his mouth shut in the past . claire : come on , do n't -- do n't worry about wyatt , okay ? i talked to him . he 's not gon na say a word to anyone , so you are totally in the clear . ciara : you did n't hurt him , did you ? ben : you think i would ? ciara : i just ... i guess you know that he set you up and i 'd be furious too if i were you . ben : it was n't wyatt . ciara : what do you mean ? ben : i mean somebody else framed me . ciara : who ? ben : tripp .

[ laughs ] because he was scared , you know . ben confronted wyatt when he heard that he confessed to setting him up . and you know , he was -- he was very freaked out being threatened by a serial killer , so i , uh ... i had to give him more money 'cause he wanted out of our deal . tripp : damn . claire : yeah , i know . we 're very lucky that he did n't tell ben right then and there you were the one who framed him . but do n't worry . i took care of it . i did . and the extra money i gave him really calmed him down , big time . wyatt is not gon na bail , and he 's not gon na blab your name . ciara : wait a minute . tripp is the one who planted evidence against you ? ben : apparently . ciara : but wyatt confessed . ben : wyatt lied . he just told me so .

we could cheat , lie , steal , murder , and blame it all on innocents . `` oh , no , please do n't hurt me ! it was my alter ! `` abigail : it was n't me . gabi : yeah , you keep saying that . except the person that killed andre and framed me for that murder looks exactly like you . same features , same height , same wimpy little voice . and , what ? you put on a wig ? some black hair ? oh , let me tell you , that wig ? it 's -- it 's not very good for your complexion . abigail : you need to leave . gabi : that was a pretty rough time , okay ? especially for my daughter . did you know that my five - year - old daughter thought that i had abandoned her ?

in this -- this creepy and horrifying way . tripp : yeah . okay , we know that ben is a homicidal maniac . that was established a long time ago . but that does not make it any more excusable that i did something underhanded and deceived all sorts of people , including ciara ... the one person that i care about more than anyone in this world . claire : well , tripp , of course it makes it more excusable . you were only trying to protect her . the person you care about more than anything in -- in the world . tripp , you 're -- you 're a very good person with a good heart , okay ?

abigail : yeah , of course , anything . chad : if my father wants to be back in our lives , be a grandfather to thomas and charlotte , be active at dimera enterprises again after we oust gabi , how are you gon na feel about that ? abigail : for now let 's just focus on the chess match , take everything else one step at a time . hope : you 're playing against chadwick ? no wonder you were so quiet . it is quite obvious that you are not -- hmm , not ready to reveal yourself , but , steffy , let me ask you , does that include marlena ? now that she has returned to salem , your queen of the night ? john : i have been living off brady pub menu for so many months now , it is so nice to get some home - cooked food . marlena : home - cooked ?

and if anyone understands how this is affecting you , it 's me . i mean , i think that maybe it 'll help you to know that i felt exactly like you do right now a while ago . it felt like my dad was capable of doing something so ... so horrible and disgraceful , and i was his kid , that ... somehow i figured that kind of thing , it just -- it got passed down to me or something . jj : does n't it ? abigail : no . no , it does n't , jj , because what dad did -- it was n't about who he was . do n't you see that ? it ... listen ... what happened ... happened because circumstances led dad down a very self - destructive path , and he was totally lost for a while . but , my god , he was so regretful about that . he did everything in his power to turn his life around . he devoted himself , heart and soul , to being a better person ... and he did . he did become a better person because he has a good heart . if dad had any idea that what he did was causing you to lose faith in yourself , my god , that ... that would break his heart into a million pieces , jj , because he loved you so much . he really did . he loved both of us . and what dad would want , i think more than anything , would be to know that his children were living their lives without shame . jj : it 's too late for that . abigail : no , it 's not . it 's not too late ... because you ... you are a wonderful and loving , amazing person . and ... you know , you and paige ... god , whenever you guys are even in the same room together , anyone that 's around you can see how much you guys care about each other . so ... do n't let her go , okay ?

theresa : well , maybe you could text me before you come . brady : i 'm not gon na text you . no contact . if something pops up , we 'll deal with it , hopefully better than we did today . i have a meeting . theresa : you know , brady , i know that you think i am this horrible person and you ca n't wait to get rid of me . but the truth is , whether you 'd like to admit it or not , i am the best thing that ever happened to you , brady , and you blew it . chad : if i said i 'll get to it , i 'll get to it . back off . what is it with you and the eavesdropping routine ?

you know what ? for that matter , where does it leave sonny ? justin : what do you mean ? adrienne : sonny could wait forever for someone who might never remember him , and what if sonny gets tired of waiting ? but then what if paul 's already moved on ? justin : well , then he 'll just have to deal with that . he 's a grown man . he 'll have to , you know , live with it . he gets to make his own decisions , however ill - advised we may think they are . all we can do is be there if and when he needs us , right ? adrienne : right . paul : so susan had rolf bring will back to life ? sonny : yep , and then brainwashed him to think he 's ej dimera . paul : my god . i mean , it does n't get more twisted than that . sonny : well , apparently susan blames sami for taking ej from her when he died , and she wanted to return the favor and take sami 's son . paul : so were you and -- you or sami able to get through to him , convince him that he was n't who susan said he is ? sonny : no , not at all . the confrontation just really upset him , so he stormed off . i went after him , followed him to susan 's house . i wanted to get through to him , but i did n't have any luck . he did n't feel anything . i mean , he looked at me like i was a stranger , said i was making these crazy claims , and i even brought up arianna . i let him know how much he loves her . paul : and nothing ? sonny : nothing . so i said , `` come back to salem . meet her , `` and he just told me to get out of here and -- or he was gon na kick my ass . paul : oh , i 'm so sorry , sonny . sonny : are you though ? 'cause after what you did , i find that hard to believe . marlena : are you thinking that i can get through to susan because she was a patient of mine ? i mean , she 'd never trust me again . john : come on . you got to have a file on her , right ? there 's got to be something in that file , something in her past , some inside information we can use to break through her delusion . marlena : do you know what you 're saying ? that is so unethical . john : yes , it is , and this is our grandson we 're talking about . using something from susan 's past could be our only shot at getting will back . sami : of course i will listen to you , will . maybe we should talk in private . will : no . not necessary . i want you to stop . you and that sonny guy , stop making claims on me and my life . sami : we 're only doing that because we love you , because -- will : no , every -- everywhere i turn , somebody 's popping up and saying , `` oh , you 're my husband , `` `` you 're my son , `` `` you 're my grandson '' -- whatever . but it ca n't be true . it ca n't be . i -- i have a mother . i have a real mother , and she 's right here . sami : she 's not your mother . will : oh , yeah , she is . she 's the one who got up in the middle of the night when i had a stomachache , who took me to the hospital when i fell off a bike . sami : when you broke your wrist ? i know that story because my late husband ... her son , ej , told me . did susan also tell you that after you fell off the bike you had to have your front tooth capped ? will : she ... did . susan : because i was there . sami : that 's right . she was there ... with her son , ej . you were n't even born yet . those are her memories . those are her memories with her son -- they 're not your memories . we have memories of your childhood ... like the time that you -- you lost your first tooth and you cried , not because it hurt , but because you were worried about how the tooth fairy was gon na find you . or the time you spiked this fever out of nowhere , and i was panicked , driving you to the hospital , and then the doctor told me that everything was fine . i mean -- [ sniffles ] susan : no . that 's very sad , sad stories , okay ? they 're lies . sami : i understand why you feel ... compassionate towards her . but you should be running ... susan : you 're not gon na listen to her anymore ... sami : from this crazy woman . susan : she 's mean , mean . she 's a liar ! sami : i am your mother . you are my son , and i am not gon na let you lie to him anymore -- no way in hell ! susan : you 're a liar !

[ knock on door ] paul : uh , well , uh ... i think there 's your answer . claire : ben , you know what ? the more i think about what you did ... i - i actually think you did the right thing . i really do , 'cause now ciara will be furious with tripp . ben : well , she might be furious with you too . she knows you paid off wyatt . claire : no , i 'm used to her hating me -- that 's fine . besides , ben , if this gets her and tripp to break up , all of this will be worth it . [ laughs ] but ... like i said , you can not ... you can not tell the police about tripp . all right ? ben : yeah , no promises . claire : come on , ben , you ca n't hurt him either . ben : the guy set me up . claire : okay , yeah , and now you 're working with me to steal his girlfriend , all right ? so maybe you 're even . tripp : wait , uh ... so how does framing ben benefit me ? ciara : because you were jealous of him . you figured if you could set him up , you would get rid of the competition -- tripp : ciara , this has nothing to do with jealousy . the guy 's a criminal . ciara : and you reminded me of that every single day . after my mom dragged ben out of here in handcuffs , you worked extra hard to make sure that i lost all faith in him . you hammered home that there was no longer any doubt that he tried to kill me , and i fell for it . i wanted ben out of my life . i wanted him out of all of our lives . i packed up his stuff and ... and then you and i slept together for the first time . tripp : [ small laugh ] so ... so what are you thinking ? that i manipulated you ? 'cause that is -- is totally unfair , ciara . i asked you over and over again to make sure that you were ready , because i did n't want to pressure you . and you said you were . i thought this was something we both wanted . ciara : [ whispers ] yeah . i thought it was something i wanted because i did n't know the truth . tripp : okay . okay , i get it now . so if ... if ben had still been an option , you would have ... you 'd have sent me packing . and you sure as hell would n't have made love to me . ( pirate girl ) ahoy ! ! ! ! ! valerie : abe , you understand chief of staff is an extraordinary opportunity . abe : if that 's what 's important to you . valerie : well , it 's not all that 's important to me , honey . you are important to me too , obviously . abe : but not important enough for you to ... pass on this extraordinary opportunity . valerie : that 's not even fair . abe , this is n't a competition between you and my career . and if that 's what you think this is , then i 'm very disappointed . abe : disappointed ? that i want you near me ? when you love someone , you ... you want to go to bed with them at night , you want to wake up to them in the morning . and the thought that you -- maybe it wo n't be another continent but a two - hour flight away is ... it 's just not something i want . valerie : so you want us to be together , but on your terms . meaning you get to stay in your prestigious job as mayor , but i have to turn down this amazing opportunity ... so that we 're together every night and every morning . so that you 're never alone . well ... to hell with that . sheila : ooh . problem ? luke : hey . i 'm luke , your new physical therapist . paul : hi . well , i 'm , uh -- luke : i know who you are . paul narita , star pitcher . big fan . paul : thanks , uh ... [ laughs ] well , just so you know , i would n't normally have you flying all the way from california just to escort me back to the clinic . but , uh , my somewhat overprotective mom , she arranged this and , uh , she did n't want me to lug all my luggage by myself and deal with the chair . luke : well , i 'm happy to assist . in fact , i 'm honored . you 're one of my idols , and not just because you 're a great pitcher , but ... when you came out a few years back , it actually gave me the courage to come out as well . so thank you . paul : thanks , luke . i 'm glad i could help . you know what , maybe , uh , you could return the favor by getting me out of this chair . luke : [ laughs ] [ soft guitar ] claire : so now that tripp and ciara are done ... i wonder how long it 'll be before tripp turns to me for comfort . ben : huh . well , i hope you two end up happy together . claire : thank you . ben : but as far as our little alliance goes , it ends here . claire : wait , what ? why ? ben : because i do n't trust you . claire : [ chuckles ] really ? you , the necktie killer , do n't trust me ? ben : you 're a loose cannon , and i do n't like deceiving ciara . claire : okay . yeah . ben : yeah . claire : might as well stop while we 're ahead . ben : hmm . claire : but here 's the thing . tripp and ciara can never know that we were working together . ciara : i 'm just saying i do n't like that when we first made love , you were lying to me . tripp : i was n't lying about how i felt about you . i love you , ciara , and i thought you loved me too . ciara : i do . tripp : are you sure about that ? are you sure you did n't just hook up with me because i made you doubt your precious ben ? ciara : no . tripp : yesterday , you said that ben admitted that he was into you . but you did n't feel the same way ? was that a lie ? do you have feelings for ben ? lean on me , tripp : i knew there was something more going on between you and ben ever since you got back from that cabin . you had this -- this bond . i mean , it was obvious . ciara : no . you have it all wrong . tripp : be honest with me ! look me in the eye and tell me you do n't have feelings for ben . i guess i have my answer . [ small laugh ] ciara : wait , tripp . listen to me . my feelings for ben , they do n't matter , they do n't mean anything . this is about us . tripp : no . there is no more us . ciara : what ? tripp : not anymore . ciara : tripp -- tripp : i have to get back to work . [ heavy music ] sheila : well , you wan na talk about it ? abe : no . sheila : okay . abe : valerie 's been offered the , uh , position of chief of staff at her old hospital in d.c. she wants to try a long - distance relationship . sheila : long distance ? mmm . those never work out , no way , no how . mmm . abe : not for me , it doesn't . sheila : but on the other hand , chief of staff ? man , val 's been chasing that job since me and eli were kids . wow . ha . i 'm so proud of her . are n't you ? abe : yeah . oh , yeah . yeah , of course . it 's just that i ... sheila : it 's just you 're too damn selfish to be happy for her ? will : adrienne and justin are working on victor now , trying to get access to sonny 's flight plan . marlena : knowing those two , they will wear him down . will : i hope so . in the meantime , though , i was wondering if maybe i ... you know , should check in on paul . i 'm sure he does n't want to see me . i - i do n't wan na make things worse . what do you think ? marlena : um , i - i think i 'd wait on that . john and i , you know , we 'll be here for him . will : yeah . i - is it asking too much to , you know , to maybe be friends ? marlena : maybe in time . [ phone rings ] what ? who is it ? will : it 's adrienne . let 's hope she knows where sonny is . brady : so luke , you must do a lot of traveling for your job . i mean , is that hard on your partner ? how does that work ? luke : this is sort of the exception . but actually , i 'm not seeing anyone right now . brady : hmm . paul : hey . [ laughs ] uh ... dad , i want you to know that , um ... i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to leave you with black patch in a lurch . and with steve gone too , it 's just gon na be you flying solo for a while . john : hey , hey , hey . do n't worry about that for a second . all you have to focus on right now is just getting yourself right . okay ? paul : you know , i also want you to know that ... i -- [ sighs ] i 'm gon na miss working alongside with you . and not just because you taught me so much but also because ... [ sighs ] i 'm just very grateful for all the time we got to spend together and ... and make up for all the time that we lost as father and son and ... i mean , this is n't all of it , of course , but it 's a good start . john : oh , it 's a great start . it was a ... a great beginning . paul : yeah , and as you know , um ... [ chuckles ] i grew up thinking that my father died when i was young and , um ... i used to lie awake in bed thinking what kind of man my father was . and then i met you . and i saw the way that you cherished marlena , and ... the way you protected your family and the way you did everything right , and you always fought for what was right . look , i know i 've said this to you many times over or at least a version of this , but ... you have surpassed every expectation i 've ever had about being a father . john : [ whispers ] thanks , kid . so proud of you . a lot of reasons ... number one being that big heart of yours . which you will always keep open . i love you . paul : i love you too , dad . john : ah ... [ emotional music ] you 're headed down the highway abe : i 'm the selfish one ? val 's asking me to give up my life here . sheila : but you 're asking her to give up her life in d.c . okay , look , your girl gets her dream job , and you expect her to turn it down so she can keep your sorry ass warm at night ? and you ai n't even put a ring on it ? child , please . sounds selfish to me . not to mention sexist . abe : why do n't you go answer phones at the office . sheila : okay , boss . i 'm just telling it like it is . will : [ sighs ] adrienne does n't have any news . victor wo n't divulge where sonny is . marlena : i 'm so sorry . got ta be patient . i 'm sure that you and sonny will have your happily ever after just like john and i do . paul : well , so i , uh ... guess this is it . john : yeah . and doc 's gon na be really disappointed she did n't get a chance to say good - bye . paul : well , this is n't really good - bye . i 'm gon na be video chatting you all the time and skyping you . brady : yeah , you 'd better be doing all that . [ all chuckle ] paul : it 's funny , i ... it 's kind of like a whole circle thing happening here . i mean , i came to salem needing surgery on my shoulder , and now i 'm leaving to recover from another injury . brady : you got ta stop being such a klutz , man . john : hero . brady : hero , i mean . john : he meant hero . you ca n't take him anywhere . paul : well , the , uh , the circumstances may be similar , but i 'm definitely leaving salem a better man than when i arrived . i 'm not hiding anymore . and i 'm not pretending to be anyone i 'm not . and for that , i do owe sonny and will a lot . luke : who are sonny and will ? john : that 's a ... long story . i 'm sure paul can fill you in on the flight back . um ... speaking of which ... time to go . [ soft music ] paul : [ exhales ] claire : hey , tripp . tripp : hey . claire : i - i ran into ben . apparently , wyatt told him about you setting him up . tripp : yeah . and ben told ciara . claire : yeah , i know . have you talked to her ? tripp : yeah . claire : and ? tripp : we broke up . claire : god , tripp , i am so sorry , really .

[ sighs ] she was just a huge presence in my life , chad . constantly in my thoughts . and now i just feel like my mind is playing tricks on me . like , my phone will ring and i -- my heart speeds up . i 'm , like , this has to be her . she 's finally calling me to tell me where she 's been all this time . like , i ca n't believe that she 's actually gone and that i 'm never gon na see her again . i do n't know if it 's because she died suddenly or , you know , i just ca n't accept it . like -- like , why do you think i st -- like , why -- why does n't it feel real ? chad : man , i do n't know . i do n't know , sonny . i think ... i think ... i think it 's hard to lose someone when they 're important to you . you know , it does n't matter how they go , whether it 's sudden or not . your mom , she was a huge presence in a lot of lives . she was a wonderful woman . she was kind . funny . spirited . you are a lot like her . sonny : i mean , i don't ... i do n't know about that . but i did inherit her stubbornness and her poor sense of direction . chad : tell me about it . i got that too . not sure where i got it from . sonny : so ... stefano ... are you really convinced that he 's out there ? chad : yeah . i am . sonny : so you know , but you do n't know , like , where he is or when you 're gon na see him again . it 's got ta be very weird . chad : you have no idea . eve : you know what it feels like to be set up . you know what it feels like to have no one believe you . please , ca n't you just give me the benefit of the doubt here ? abigail : why ? why would i do that , eve ? you have done nothing but try to take my family down and destroy them . even last year at the wedding . eve : the wedding ? abigail : yes , at the wedding . you came and you crashed my mom 's wedding . you screamed at her in front of everyone . i might not have been there , but i remember . eve : i was drunk ! abigail : you were drunk ? eve : yes . abigail : you were drunk . and so , that 's this whole thing now , right ? you 're innocent because you were drunk , so you do n't remember anything . eve : listen to me . okay . i swear to you , maggie took me to that hotel , and i never left . abigail : eve , you testified that you blacked out . so , how does that work ? because if you blacked out , then you ca n't really account for your whereabouts , can you ? eve : listen , i did n't do it , okay ? i was set up ! i was framed ! abigail : who ? who is framing you , eve ?

just makes me sick . sami : no , i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm really sorry that i was n't there . you have no idea how sorry . will : really ? okay , you realize that sorry does not make it right . you disappeared when your family needed you and when your son needed you . sami : i made a mistake . i made a terrible mistake . will : oh , god . do you not care about anybody but yourself ?

i do n't . because i - i was n't in my right frame of mind . i - i thought that my son was dead . will : was dead ? yeah . we all thought your son was dead . but you were the only person who up and disappeared . sami : i thought i 'd lost him . and i - i was just reacting . i do n't -- will : you know what ?

ej : well , no , that had already happened . look , if he had n't been shot , nobody would be any the wiser . abigail : really ? ej : he would have gone through with his treatment and he 'd be in remission . abigail : no , there 's no way that chad would have ever been able to keep up a lie like that . ej : he would have been able to keep it up just fine . abigail : no , he would n't have because cameron was already suspicious of him . ej : cameron did a little bit of investigating and all he found out by looking at chad 's medical records was that he was undergoing treatment as part of a clinical trial . abigail : you did that . ej : this is not about me . it 's about the two of you . you 're in love , abigail . abigail : no , it is not love for chad to come to you and -- ej : he did n't come to me . abigail : but you found out and you made it really easy for him , ej , to -- you blackmailed him . you blackmailed him . chad did n't wan na move into the mansion , but then suddenly he told me that he was doing it . you blackmailed your own brother . daniel : he has a lot to answer for , no question . but i really , really think -- maggie : i know , i know . i know you think that he did it to protect his grandson . daniel : mm - hmm . maggie : and you are so forgiving . daniel : mom , i just said he has a lot to answer for . maggie : okay , i get it . i 'm just not ready to go out in public yet . i 'm sorry . daniel : no , i 'm sorry . i 'm not gon na let victor cheat me out of my time with you . we do n't have to go out . but you , you 're gon na come home with me . yeah , yeah , i got a miracle cure . maggie : not even you are that good of a doctor . daniel : oh , just you wait . come on . let 's go . you have no idea . come on . victor : take it down a notch , marlena . i did n't do anything to your son . in fact , it was father eric doing kristen that was -- marlena : [ gasps ] eric : yeah , i 'm still a priest , for now . but i 've been suspended . nicole : hmm . for how long ? eric : at least until they find kristen and get the truth out of her . nicole : and what happens if they do n't find her ? what happens to you then ? abigail : what kind of man blackmails his own brother ? ej : hush , young lady . it was a negotiation . abigail : chad took bullets for you , ej . that is the kind of brother that he was , but -- ej : he 's a hell of a guy . i 'm glad you noticed . abigail : no . do n't . do n't do that . we 're talking about you . ej : no , we 're not . this is about the two of you and how perfect you are for one another . abigail : stop ! just stop ! ej : it 's true . i would n't be much of a brother if i did n't at least plead chad 's case . i do want what is best for him , you know . abigail : oh , right , like -- like moving into the mansion ? ej : that 's a perfect example . i recognize he was very reticent to move in there , but look what happened . his niece and his nephew were thrilled that he moved in and in the end , he was happy . abigail : you can justify anything , ca n't you ? the two of you destroy my life and then you make an excuse . ej : destroy your life ? when did we destroy your life ? abigail : chad completely manipulated the situation . ej : he just wanted a fair shot , that 's all , abigail . he got sick , cameron moved right in there . all he wanted to do was level the playing field . look , i 'll be candid with you , he did n't plan it . it happened and he saw an opportunity to make things right . abigail : right ? nothing about this is right , ej . and -- and just so we 're clear , your brother got the opposite of what he wanted in the end . ej : are you happier now that chad 's not in your life ? abigail : that 's not the point . ej : the only point that matters . it 's why i was helping chad and it 's why i thought i was helping you . sami : she thinks she 's gon na commute from new york ? can you guys work with that ? will : we wo n't get a chance to try , unfortunately . sami : why not ? will : because she 's moving to new york . sonny : and she 's taking ari with her . sami : the hell she is . [ ari cries ] sami : i mean , that -- sonny : i 'll go , i 'll go . sami : i 'm really sorry . sonny : that 's okay . sami : i just do n't understand . i do n't understand what she 's thinking . she thinks she can just move to new york with the baby ? she 's gon na have a full- time modeling job and be a single mom ? will : well , they 're working out , you know , child care for her and they already got a place for the two of 'em so ... sami : oh , did they get a new daddy for her too ? will : well , apparently i can come visit any time i want with -- with all the money that i do n't have and they fly her and ari back once a month to salem . sami : that 's impossible . she ca n't possibly have a contract like that . nobody does . not today . i mean , that 's a fairy tale . will : i -- yeah , i guess . i mean , it 's gabi 's dream . i mean , she 's obsessed with it . sami : well , she needs to get real . i 'm serious . there 's no way she 's taking that baby to new york . gabi : it 's the cutest thing because she 's starting to crawl and then she makes this face , then she 's got this thing that she does with her hand -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm probably boring you to death . tad : no , no , no , no , no . she 's a cute kid . i like her . but sonny tells me you have some good news . gabi : yeah , i , uh -- i do n't wan na talk about it until i talk to rafe . tad : okay , do n't wan na jinx it . i get it , i get it . gabi : yeah , yeah . it 's this , um -- it 's just this thing that came out of nowhere . tad : hey , it 's your turn . you deserve it . i mean it . i 've always thought you deserve better than what you 've got . marlena : in the old days , this would have been a classic victor kiriakis move . but he -- he really did put this kind of thing behind him . at least , that 's what i believed . daniel : well , uh , maybe it was an accident . i mean , he certainly did n't intend for it to happen this way . maggie : i think it 's exactly the result that he wanted . he did n't want brady to marry kristen . he wanted kristen to be disgraced . if not in line for criminal charges . no . i think victor 's sitting at home just as happy as a clam . daniel : oh , happy ? without you there ? yeah , you know , i seriously doubt that . maggie : i do n't . daniel : mom , you 're going to have to face victor sooner or later . victor : i ca n't remember the last time that happened . makes me feel young . marlena : my son was drugged and assaulted and you want to banter with me ? victor : well , then , i should be thanked . marlena : what ? victor : a terrible crime was committed . it would n't have come to light if i had n't played the video . marlena : oh , my gosh ! victor : i should call crime stoppers . i 'll bet there 's a reward . marlena : we were a team in this . victor : i 'll split it with you . marlena : and you would have had nothing against kristen if i had n't given you that flash drive . victor : if i had n't thanked you , my apologies . marlena : your apology wo n't begin to cover what you 've done . you knew what was on that dvd when you gave it to me and you knew that if i took that in and put it on the screen , it would destroy my son 's life . eric : i 'm not sure what 's gon na happen if kristen does n't surface . then the church will be left with the video as evidence . nicole : but is n't -- is n't it helpful as proof ? or not . eric : it 's not like i look like the victim in it . nicole : oh . eric : listen , i need to find kristen so i can put context to it . there 's a lot of things i need to make right if i can . nicole : you mean us ? eric : yes , i do . abigail : ah , i see . so -- so then this was all about helping me because , silly thing that i am , i could n't figure out what i wanted for myself on my own . ej : i saw the two of you together . you 're good together . he was the one for you . abigail : only because -- ej : abigail , i would never think so little of you as to suggest that you ended up in bed with my brother simply because cameron was n't available . is that what happened ? abigail : no , it 's not , actually . it was -- yeah , i do n't need to talk about my personal stuff with you , ej . ej : no , i - i completely respect that . i do . but i am right . are n't i ? chad was the one for you . cameron was a distraction . if that was n't the case then you would have gone after him and if he really wanted to be with you do n't you think he would have fought for you ? abigail : he was being decent . obviously that 's a really hard concept for you to understand . ej : you deserve better , my dear . and my brother is a better man . abigail : you know , i 'm -- i 'm confident that i can find a man who does n't lie or manipulate the situation -- ej : oh , no , of course . there are an infinite number of men out there who are , um , steady , bloodless , boring . would n't you rather have a man who was so passionate about you that he will do whatever it takes ? abigail : no , i would n't . not if he lied . ej : well ... that is a pity for my brother . it is rather worse for you . one day you 're going to realize that a man who is not willing to push boundaries for the woman that he loves is not a man worth having . will : mom . mom , no . no . sami : what ? will : that look -- no , this is why i did n't wan na tell you . mom , you 're gon na have to stay out of this . sami : we are not gon na just sit back -- will : you 're gon na make it worse , you 're gon na make it worse . sami : how ? how could it possibly be worse ? will : i honestly do n't know , but i know you 're gon na do it , okay ? i am ari 's father , so i will handle it . sami : you 'd better . will : is that an `` or else `` ? sami : i am looking out for you , will . will : i know . sami : i mean , seriously you wan na just let that baby disappear ? you think that gabi 's not gon na just take it away from you ? i do n't even wan na finish that sentence . i mean , the fact that gabi 's even considering it is -- sonny : well , she -- she gets a life , does n't she ? sami : do you want the baby to go ? sonny : of course i do n't want the baby to go . sami : then why are you taking her side ? sonny : because i get how she feels . will : well , so do i . sami : [ scoffs ] sonny : you know , you think about it , yeah , i mean , will 's successful with his writing , i have my club , cameron just joined doctors without borders . will : and someone just approaches her and gives her her dream job and does everything to make it work . of course she wants it . sami : wow , i ca n't even listen to the two of you . i mean , you sound like you 're ready to just hand the baby over to her . you gon na pack her bags for her too , drive her to the airport ? will : yeah , maybe we will . sami : all right , that 's it . i am texting ej . it 's a good thing i was here . will : that 's an ominous sentence -- no ! mom , i 'm begging you to leave it alone . sami : then you tell me what you 're gon na do . will : i 'll tell you what i 'm not gon na do . i 'm not gon na get in gabi 's face and start yelling about my rights and your rights and everyone else 's rights and tell her that she ca n't live her life , because if i do that , guess what she 's gon na do ? sami : you think she 's just gon na take the job ? will : yeah , i know she 's gon na take the job . sami : okay . will : okay . sami : you 're probably right . will : i am . sami : and maybe gabi 'll come to her senses . will `` well , we 'll figure something out . sami : i 'm sure you will . and i know the baby 's sleeping so maybe i 'll just come back another time . will : okay . sami : good - bye , sonny . sonny : all right , bye , sami . will : see you , mom . sami : good - bye , sweetheart . will : good - bye . sonny : did your mom just listen to you and agree to back off ? will : would n't count on it . daniel : and , um , and let me know what happens with victor . maggie : i will . daniel : okay . all right . maggie : love you . daniel : love you . maggie : bye . daniel : bye . [ knocks on door ] daniel : that -- [ murmurs , laughs ] [ groans ] anne ? anne : yeah , sorry to bother you here , but i did n't know when i 'd ever see you at work . daniel : when i 'm scheduled to be there . anne : well , i wanted you to have this as soon as possible . you 've been served . daniel : what ? anne : yeah , i 've always wanted to say that . daniel : this is a summons . anne : yes . the , uh , disciplinary committee at the hospital ? they 've scheduled a hearing about you . marlena : you could have shown brady that dvd in private . victor : i tried . right up until the time he walked out that door to go to the church . would n't give me five seconds , let alone five minutes . the only way to stop that wedding was a public viewing , and i wo n't apologize for that . marlena : you sacrificed my son . victor : you 're right . and i do n't give a damn . abe : nicole . hey , eric . i was just on my way to the rectory to find you . eric : i 'm not there anymore . i moved in over the pub . abe : oh , well , i 'm sorry , man . eric : it 's okay , just tell me you found kristen . abe : i wish i could , but trail 's getting cold . we 're not giving up . we are beating the bushes for any lead possible .

[ phone rings ] abe : excuse me , i 'm sorry . yeah , i 'm gon na have to take this . eric : hey , nicole , wait . there are some things that i would like to say . nicole : you already did . you know , you wan na try and make things right , well , good luck with that . and i hope you find kristen and put her away for a long , long time . eric : hey , you do n't have anything to say to me ? nicole : uh , no , there 's lots of things i wanted to say , once upon a time , but you did n't wan na hear it . so now what 's the point ? eric : nicole , i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry . nicole : it 's okay . eric : it ca n't be . nicole : no ... you 're right . but it 's over now . and i ca n't help you . i need to move on and that 's exactly what i 'm doing . daniel : who put jennifer on this list ? anne : she did . daniel : no , there is no way she would volunteer to sit through a detailed examination of what happened the night theresa o.d . 'd . anne : it 's her job , doctor . she is our pr person when she chooses to show up and we need her for damage control . daniel : damage control ? anne : yeah , your exploits made it to the blogs . everyone 's buzzing about it on the hospital message boards . it 's only a matter of time before the press picks it up . daniel : well , so you 've been a very busy girl . have n't you ? anne : well , look , do n't worry . you know , with any luck , it 'll get buried behind this creepy priest story . that 's why we need a pr person monitoring the situation , scouring the press for any mention of you , the girl , or the drugs . daniel : okay , that 's why you 're doing this . anne : i - i 'm sorry . i am not do -- daniel : no , you are the head of h.r . everyone on the committee was fine until you talked to them , and now this is your goal . a pro forma hearing so we can air out all the dirty laundry . see , you -- you really do n't care if they hurt me . anne : well , no , i would like them very much to hurt you . daniel : no , you want them to hurt jennifer . you want her to suffer . anne : hey , pal , you took care of that all on your own . i 'm just cleaning up behind you . daniel : good - bye . abigail : where 's the party ? will : it , uh -- it got put on hold . but we can hang out if you want . abigail : yeah . yeah , that 'd be great . will : awesome . abigail : oh , look at her . will : i know . you know , she looks so different than when i last saw her . it 's been , like , a week . imagine if i was gone for a month . abigail : well , lucky for you , you were n't . will : yeah . abigail : hey , did you ever get any feedback from the edits on your story ? will : no , no . uh , maybe . i do n't know , i have n't checked my email yet . abigail : w - will . i thought the professor had a publisher on the line . are n't you curious to find out what happened and -- you know , if this is a bad time , uh , i can ... will : what ? no , no , no , no . sorry . i 'm just jet lagged and today 's been a really full day , so ... abigail : okay , well , i 'll go and let you -- will : no , no , no , no , no . i 'm sorry . you -- you have n't even -- you have n't even held ari yet . you know , if you want to . abigail : if i want to ? are you kidding me ? of course i want to . will : [ laughs ] abigail : hand her over . hi . oh , look at you . i missed you .

sami : still ? count on it . yes , that 's still going on for me . ej : okay , but something else is bothering you at the moment . sami : well , ej , the kristen / eric thing is gon na continue to bother me . ej : okay , i understand that . it 's terrible and i 'm gon na pay for weeks and months . but something else has happened since i last saw you , so why do n't you tell me what that is ? sonny : will does n't know that i 'm here . gabi : he did n't ask you to come apologize ? sonny : no . i did n't tell him how crummy i was to you earlier and i wanted to come and apologize because i am so sorry that i talked to you that way . and no matter what happens from here on out , i think it 's important that you and i do not fight anymore . that is the worst thing for ari . gabi : i agree . thank you . you know , i 'm not -- i 'm really not trying to hurt will . i just -- i wan na do the best for me and for the baby . i want her to have -- i want her to have the best life possible . sonny : i know you do . um , who are you talking to about all this ? gabi : what do you mean ? sonny : like , who 's helping you decide ? gabi : i am . that 's just the way it has to be . sonny : okay . well , i better get going . gabi : how 's will ? dumb question . sorry . nicole : this officially blows . so what 's your next move ? daniel : you do n't have to deal with it , nicole . you really do n't . nicole : yes , sure i do . yes , i do . daniel : no , you have enough to worry about . please , i do n't -- nicole : does n't matter , i 'm your friend . daniel : i -- uh -- nicole : i 'm your friend and your problems are a great distraction for me . besides , i 'm really good at it . come on . let 's plan your strategy . victor : maggie , i love you . that 's a load of nonsense . i 'm completely the man you married . maggie : no . no . uh - uh . he was tired of manipulating and bullying his way through life . he had given that up . at least that 's what he said . victor : look , this was about family . anything is fair game . maggie : including a priest who had never done anything but good in this world ? victor : if that 's true , then he 'll be fine . maybe there 'll even be criminal charges against kristen . that works for me . and once you 've had a good night 's sleep , you 'll come to your senses too . maggie : i already have . abe : so i will be in touch as soon as i know any more . eric : thanks . abe : marlena . marlena : abe . may i join you ? you met with the bishop already ? eric : yeah , i just finished . he suspended me . after the video , he did n't have much choice . marlena : yeah , well . what happens next ? eric : unless we find kristen and she clears me , i 'll be defrocked . abigail : [ sighs ] oh , god . ej : one day you 'll realize that a man who is not willing to push boundaries for the woman that he loves , is not a man worth having . abigail : it 's ej dimera . what does he know ? sami : thank you . ej : samantha , i know you . i know that look . i can see your little wheels spinning . let me help you . sami : it 's okay . ej : i see . so there is something . sami : nothing for you to worry about . ej : look , if you have a problem then just let me help you . that 's all i 'm asking . sami : i can handle it . we do n't have to tell each other everything , right ? ej : samantha -- sami : you made that clear . i 've got this . do n't worry . ej : [ slight laugh ] sonny : hey . how are you two ? will : we 're good . i ca n't lose her . i will not . victor : what did you decide ? maggie : after everything that happened that you did ... i 've decided our marriage is over . eric : now this ca n't be a surprise . marlena : i 'm just so sorry . um , where will you go ? eric : grandma 's got a room over the pub . marlena : i 've got plenty of room at my place . eric : no , that would n't -- grandma 's really looking forward to it . i 'll keep an eye on her . marlena : you know i love you . eric : i do . marlena : and you know i 'm -- i 'm praying to he -- eric : you know what , mom , i really need to do this alone . nicole : daniel , come on . you got yourself in this mess because you were trying to do something good . covering for jennifer 's ungrateful juvenile delinquent of a son . that will teach ya , huh ? daniel : yeah , well , i 'd do it again if i had to . i would . i just wish there was some way to fix it . nicole : there is . and we 'll find it . daniel : yeah , i just really wish there was some way i could just forget it all for an afternoon or just maybe -- i do n't know , maybe even an hour . nicole : it 's really pitiful , you know ? it 's not too much to ask . daniel : yeah , you 'd think . nicole : well , you know , whatever . you 're kind of a decent guy . you know . | marlena went to victor 's place and demanded to know why he let her publicly humiliate her son . sami wanted will to tell her about gabi 's modeling job . will hesitated at first , but he told her that gabi 's job was in new york . victor started to explain what happened , but marlena slapped him . nicole wanted to know if eric was fired as a priest . will and sonny explained to sami that gabi planned on moving to new york . sami was determined to make sure that gabi did n't take arianna to new york . victor tried to downplay what he did , but marlena was livid . eric told nicole about his suspension . will did n't want sami to get involved in his situation with gabi . sami was upset and wanted to do something about gabi . will and sonny tried to defend gabi 's decision to model to sami . will did n't want to force gabi not to model because she would end up doing it anyway . daniel and maggie talked about her relationship with victor for a little while . after maggie left , anne served daniel with a summons from the disciplinary board . victor explained to marlena that a public viewing of the footage was the only way to expose kristen and stop the wedding . marlena did n't appreciate eric being collateral damage . |

and he ca n't be bothered to come in from the pool long enough to return your calls ? sonny : he 's not sitting around the pool . he 's busy . victor : doing what ? sonny : i do n't know exactly . victor : and you do n't see that as trouble ? jordan : did something bad happen ? chad : not from where i 'm standing . i 'm pretty psyched . jordan : okay , well , then why would it be something bad for you and me ? chad : well , i saw your reaction to this house , and i know that most of the people in this town have a pretty negative opinion about the dimera family , with good reason . jordan : well , if i had a problem with you being a dimera , i would have said so already . chad : but i was n't a high - profile member of the family before ... like my brother and father and sister . but i will be once i become co - ceo of dimera enterprises . nicole : wow . you should n't have . daniel : i thought we could use this to work on your hand - eye coordination . nicole : my hand - eye coordination , excuse me , is freaking great . daniel : oh , so you meant to almost kill me with that football . nicole : do n't blame me if you ca n't catch a pass . daniel : wow . is that how you 're spinning that ? nicole : mm - hmm . daniel : you do n't remember the screaming ? you do n't remember the expressions of remorse ? nicole : so what 's that for ? daniel : oh , it 's to keep you from maiming anyone else .. and the game this time ... dodgeball . nicole : all right , even i know that that is yet another team sport . daniel : well , if we play the regular way , you 're just gon na be annihilated , so we 're gon na play one - on - one dodgeball to give you a sporting chance . nicole : you ca n't be serious . daniel : check your phone . nicole : check my phone . daniel : yep . nicole : okay . `` this is a formal challenge for a rematch this afternoon . `` you are serious . daniel : dead serious . paige : when my mom found out that she could n't have the surgery and could n't sing again , she and i were fighting over jj . so i was n't there for her when she found out . daphne : so she picked up a guy , and then she shared all about her one - night stand with her daughter ? paige : no , she did n't share all about it , daphne . she did n't actually tell me . when i started to , you know , kind of catch on , she did n't really have a choice but to be honest with me . daphne : no choice ? i 'm sorry . i just -- i really do n't get that . i mean , why could n't she have just made something up ? paige : [ sighs ] i should n't have said anything to you . look , i know my mom and i may have some issues , but i know she loves me . people are always judging her because she 's beautiful and she 's fun , and , yeah , guys like her . but i still wo n't let anybody put her down , including you . jj : i 'm really glad you 're back . how 's grandma doing ? jennifer : she 's great . she 's good as new . eve : you know , you two probably have a lot of catching up to do , so i 'm just -- jennifer : you did n't answer my question . and neither did you . marlena : well , i 'm ... i 'm surprised ... and i guess a bit upset , but .. you know , you and sami are both adults , and if you want to move away , you 're allowed to do that , i suppose . eric : mom ... marlena : what ? eric : i 'm just moving a few blocks away . marlena : what ? eric : [ laughs ] marlena : why the big buildup ? come on , i thought you were moving to guam or something . eric : well , the big buildup was because i know how everybody in the family feels about me living here . and in case grandma needs anyone ... marlena : oh , well , grandma has children and grandchildren . she 'll be fine . she can call upon anybody , and , besides , you have to get on with your life . eric : get on with my life ... that 's code . i think we both know what that really means . daniel : so , after you nailed me with the football and the pain subsided enough for me to even begin to think clearly , i realized that you were trying to do guy things with me because you were being a good friend . nicole : with lousy hand - eye coordination ? daniel : well , uh ... yeah . yeah . anyway , you know , i do n't know if you noticed , but my life is n't exactly overflowing with friends these days , and i do n't know if i could afford to just throw away one of my closest friends just because she , you know , almost killed me . nicole : ugh . how i 've missed you insulting me and making jokes at my expense ... [ both chuckle ] nicole : and ... being my friend . daniel : yeah , same here . sonny : will is not hanging around the pool . he 's taking care of his daughter , and he 's helping his mom , his little brother , and his little sisters deal with the fact that their husband and father was murdered . i 'm proud of him for that . so do n't start with me , please . victor : i 'm just saying . sonny : i know you 're just saying . i know what you 're saying . but i am half of the problem . victor : how do you figure that ? sonny : 'cause i 've been totally focused on getting this new place on the south side in shape . victor : the new place is one of the reasons i 'm here . i understand you 're running into one problem after another . sonny : so it 's not just my personal life i 'm screwing up . it 's my business too . victor : i know you want this place to work , but sometimes wanting is not enough . sonny : uncle vic , have n't you figured out that i 'm not in the mood for one of your lectures ? victor : fine . i 'll get right to the point . how far in debt are you to chad ? chad : you 're not saying anything . jordan : so you 're the boss of all this . i mean , what does that involve ? chad : look , i 'm still gon na have time for a personal life . jordan : well , i appreciate you telling me this in person . i mean , i would hate to read about this on the financial page . i do n't really read the financial page . chad : and it does n't change the way you feel about me ? jordan : if you thought i would be impressed because you 're some big shot now , you have got me all wrong . chad : i was hoping you would say that . jordan : congratulations . daphne : i was n't putting your mom down ... exactly . i was talking about what this has got to be like for you . paige : do you know what my mom 's life was like ? daphne : no . paige : she did n't even know who her father and mother were until she was a teenager . so maybe she 's too protective of me now , but she 's always there when i need her , and she needs me now , and we -- we stand up for each other . daphne : fine . i get it . i 'm -- i 'm sorry , okay ? really sorry . i got to get to class . maggie : ooh ! oh ! paige : oh , excuse me ! maggie : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . hi . paige : mrs. kiriakis ! maggie : hi , paige ! how are you ? paige : nice to see you . maggie : i 've been trying to call jj . his message box is full . paige : oh , uh , guess he does n't delete his voice mails . maggie : so how are you two doing ? jennifer : the only reason i can think of for you to be in that intense of a conversation with jj is you came here to talk about jack 's book royalties again . eve : well , jennifer , you are wrong ... again . jennifer : okay , someone better tell me what happened the other night . eve : you know i do n't approve of jj and paige . jennifer : is that what this is about ? did something happen between you and paige ? jj : well , yeah . eve : this also has something to do with me too . i guess we better tell her everything , jj ... even if we do n't want to . sonny : look , chad is one of my best friends . victor : money can come between best friends . your neck is on the line right now , and there are big changes happening in your friend 's life . sonny : what kind of changes ? victor : [ sighs ] i 'll let him tell you about that . but no matter how he tries to spin it , do n't ever forget his name is dimera , and yours is kiriakis ... and that never goes away . chad : so we 're good ? jordan : we 're good . chad : i have to ask you to keep what i told you to yourself ... just for a few hours . jordan : okay . chad : if too many people find out before the big announcement , i will be in big ... big trouble . jordan : why ? chad : i ca n't explain . jordan : well , i really appreciate that you trusted me enough to tell me ahead of time . chad : do you still want to have dinner ? jordan : sure ... i mean , now that you 're some big - shot ceo . chad : ah , well , i got your message earlier this morning , so either you had insider information , or you were willing to have dinner with the lowly co- owner of a coffee house . jordan : [ chuckles ] so now you are a co - owner and a co - ceo . so your co - owner is sonny , so who 's your co ... wait a minute . it 's kate , is n't it ? was that her idea ? marlena : i just love it when you tell me what i 'm thinking . eric : you know what ? i 'm not getting this apartment because i 'm ready to start dating , mom . marlena : you know what ? i do n't want to see you go through your life alone . and maybe this apartment is just the beginning of a transition . do n't look at me like that . look , you 've had wonderful relationships in the past . i hope that you have n't given up on this just be -- eric : because of what ? because of nicole ? nicole : so i 've got an errand to run , but , uh , you know , i guess i can do it later . daniel : oh , no , no , go ahead . go ahead . i got stuff to do too . nicole : okay . daniel : so i will meet you at the park in an hour . get ready to rumble . nicole : or we could do our errands together and then go to the park later . daniel : hmm , no , no , no , i do n't think so , no . nicole : okay . well , what do you have to do ? daniel : i have personal stuff -- you know , stuff . nicole : you 're not gon na ... buy me any more sports equipment or anything -- daniel : no , no , it has nothing to do with you at all . nicole : all right . so , good . i 'll see you later . daniel : yeah , in an hour . nicole : okay . [ chuckles ] paige : jj and i ? maggie : mm - hmm . paige : we 're good . maggie : oh , i 'm glad . paige : so it 's nice seeing you . maggie : okay . oh , uh , paige ? um , i was just wondering , did daniel ever give jj back his , uh , money clip ? paige : his money clip ? why would dr. jonas have that ? jennifer : well , thank you for wanting to tell me everything , but i do n't think jj feels the same way . eve : well , i am sure jj would explain everything to you , eventually , as ... difficult as it would be . jennifer : what are you talking about ? eve : about what happened that night , of course . paige found out while you were away something that , well , caused a problem for her and jj . jennifer : okay , what ? jj : yeah , um ... paige found out about dad ... and -- and aunt kayla . jennifer : oh , my gosh , honey . eve : that 's why we did n't want to talk about any of this with you . jennifer : really ? and what part do you have in this ? what have you done to my son ? jordan : it 's her . it 's kate , is n't it ? chad : yeah . jordan : oh , my god , i knew it . chad : okay , look , it 's not like she 's gon na be my new best friend , all right ? we 're -- i 'm gon na be working with her . jordan : and living here with her . chad : you were the one that was just going on about how big this place is . jordan : she 's gon na start talking about me -- just wait . chad : i can handle her . jordan : now , see , that ... that 's what rafe said too . chad : look , i did n't want this to upset you . jordan : look , i 'm sorry . kate is kind of a flash point for me , and ... look , i 'm happy for you , okay ? i really am . chad : can we still go out and celebrate ? jordan : later . i - i got to get to work . [ cell phone ringing ] jordan : looks like somebody wants you , mr. co - ceo . chad : [ clears throat ] chad dimera . maggie : well , all daniel said to me -- [ cell phone ringing ] maggie : um , paige , i have to take this . paige : oh , it 's okay . i 'd better be going . maggie : bye - bye . hi . what 's up ? daniel : hey , where are you ? maggie : i 'm running errands , and then i 'm on my way home . daniel : can i meet you there ? maggie : sure . what 's on your mind ? daniel : jennifer . jennifer : jj , what happened ? and how is eve a part of this ? eve : jj ! how are you gon na date paige , get serious with her , with this big secret that 's over your head the whole time , huh ? how are we gon na carry that one off ? we slept together last night . how could you even consider a future with my daughter ? jj : she 's part of it ... 'cause she 's paige 's mom . eve : [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] jennifer : is eve the one who told paige about your dad and aunt kayla ? is she trying to cause trouble ? eve : no , i am not . if i wanted paige to know that information , i could have told her way before this . jj : it 's true , mom . she did n't tell paige . eve : but to be truthful here , i am partly responsible . jennifer : oh , surprise , surprise , eve . jj was so happy with paige , and now he is completely miserable , and i am telling you , if you have anything to do with it , you are gon na be so sorry you were even born . eric : mom , nicole was the first love of my life . i 'm not sure if i 'll ever get completely over her . but there were other important times in my life ... like colorado ... africa . remember when i was studying for the priesthood ? i mean , those were unbelievable moments , and nicole had no part of that . marlena : i 'm not exactly sure what you 're saying . eric : i think maybe you 're just worrying for no reason . listen , i know i may not be completely over nicole , but i know that there 's no going back . on that , i am really clear . daniel : oh , thank you for taking the time . maggie : oh , please . come on , what 's on your mind ? daniel : ah , well , jennifer is -- is coming home tonight . maggie : yeah , i know . daniel : and i wanted you to know that i 've decided that i need to see her again . maggie : okay . daniel : i just think that i need to clear the air about anything i might have said that -- that ... that hurt her . maggie : i wish it could 've worked out . daniel : i know you do , but i do n't want you to feel awkward with jennifer because it did n't . maggie : honey ... i have known jennifer all her life . she 's family . jennifer and i will always be fine . daniel : good ... because one thing we still have in common is how much we both still need you . maggie : aw . that 's so sweet . nicole : eric . eric : hi . nicole : where you going ? ( announcer ) are you dealing with hot flashes during menopause ? eve : the reason why i 'm a part of this is because , yes , kayla and i were talking about it . but , unfortunately , by mistake , paige overheard it . jennifer : oh , yeah , i see . eve : and the reason i 'm here now is because i just happened to be driving by . i saw your son coming in the door , and i thought , well , i 'd just stop in for a minute to see how he was doing . jennifer : oh , yeah , because you care so much about my son 's feelings . did you and paige break up over this ? jj : we 're taking a break . jennifer : so it 's not over . eve : jj ... you and paige are both young , and i know it hurts . but one thing that i 've learned in this life is that you ca n't go back and undo the past . jennifer : even if the past was his father 's and not his ? eve : once things have happened , you ca n't go back and change it , and you ca n't change people 's feelings about it , and that is exactly what i was trying to tell jj when you walked in just now . jennifer : i want to speak to jj alone . eve : fine . i think we have said everything we need to say to each other , right , jj ? jennifer : oh , honey . jordan : hi . it 's me . um , listen , i do n't know if i made this clear , but , look , if this makes you happy , then i am really happy for you , chad . i really mean that . dr. evans , hi . marlena : hi . sorry , but i could n't help overhearing . chad 's had some good news ? jordan : yeah , you know him ? marlena : i do . he 's a friend of will and sonny 's , and he 's had kind of a hard time . i 'd say he deserves some good news . jordan : well , from what he says , you and i may be the only two in salem who feel that way . chad : i 'm glad we had a chance to talk , sir . yeah , i want to have a good working relationship with all the members of the board . yeah , thanks . hey , buddy . who 's minding the store ? sonny : well , there 's two of them now , so i thought we should touch base . chad : great . i trust your judgment . you know , i 'm the one who told you to just go for it . sonny : well , if you trust me so much , how come i do n't know anything about this big change coming in your life ? maggie : now that parker is with chloe , victor and i expect you to come to dinner at least , um , once a week ? daniel : oh , please , i 'm gon na be here more often that that . trust me . maggie : even if you do n't need a babysitter ? daniel : yeah , well , one thing i learned from watching jennifer is , no matter how busy your day is or how demanding your job is , you know , do n't take anyone you love for granted . and i never will again . nicole : are you going on a trip or something ? eric : no . nicole : are you , like , leaving ? eric : no , i 'm just moving ... a few blocks from here . nicole : oh . great . i mean ... your family must be really happy . so where is your new place ? eric : does it really matter ? nicole : i guess not . i just wanted to think of you in a nice place . eric : yes , you know what ? i ... i want the best for you too . nicole : you do ? eric : of course . i 'm gon na ... i want to wish you well . you know what ? we both know this is the best decision -- for us to go our separate ways . nicole : right . yes , you are -- you 're right . and i wo n't use my ... reporter skills to track you down . eric : yeah . nicole : well , good luck in your new place . eve : oh , hey , honey . paige : oh , mom , hi . eve : you heading out ? paige : uh , i was , yeah . eve : you , um ... going to see jj ? paige : i 've got a lot of stuff to do . eve : well , before you go , there 's something i want to tell you , and it 's important . daniel : okay , dodgeball basics -- one of us gets the ball . the other one needs to keep from getting hit . if the other one catches the ball , the person who threw the ball is out . nicole : like i did n't know that . daniel : sorry . so you want to toss a coin to see who gets the ball first ? nicole : you go first . after what happened , it seems only right . daniel : mm , okay . start running . you 're out . nicole : hey ! i was n't ready ! daniel : oh , all right , you ready now ? nicole : well , i -- ow ! daniel : here we go . you ready ? move , move , move ! whoop ! oh , no ! nicole : ow ! daniel : there -- ooh ! oh ! oh , she 's out again ! no , going high ! oh , jeez ! yeah , that hurts , does n't it ? nicole : take that ! daniel : oh , lost it , lost it ! where 'd it go ? i do n't know , oh ! nicole : [ shrieks ] ow ! daniel : oh , you 're out ! nicole : [ growls , grunts ] daniel : no ! whoa ! that 's gon na hurt . nicole : [ grunts ] daniel : duck ! oh ! nicole : okay , that 's enough . daniel : bring it on ! oh , she 's out of there ! nicole : you creep . daniel : if you ca n't be a good sport about it , then ... nicole : oh , you know what ? daniel : you 're out . nicole : oh ! in case you 're interested , i am not having any fun . daniel : well , you could try to lose gracefully . nicole : i have n't lost yet , you ball hog . daniel : ball hog . ball hog ? nicole : yeah . you play the game , you get the name . daniel : wow . okay , in that case , i am gon na take my ball and go home . nicole : give me that damn ball ! daniel : no , i 'm not -- oh , my god ! nicole : give it ! daniel : what are you -- no ! nicole : oh , yeah ! who 's winning now ? daniel : what are you , a howler monkey ? get off me ! nicole : who 's winning now ? give me the ball ! daniel : no , you 're not having the ball ! it 's not gon na ha -- oh ! nicole : [ laughing ] daniel ? hey . daniel ? eve : i just want you to know that i , um ... ran into jj today . paige : you did ? where ? eve : well , i did n't exactly run into him . i was driving by his house , and i saw that he was coming in , so i thought i would just stop by and talk to him . paige : why did you do that ? eve : well , honey , you know , you say that he 's trying to break it off with you , right ? and i just -- i just wanted to know why . paige : mom , that was none of your business ! eve : well , honey , i just wanted to know what you were up against , you know ? paige : and now you do ? eve : yeah , i do , and ... honey , i know that you really did n't want this to happen , but ... i think ... jj needs some time away from you , honey . i - i - i 'm sorry . and i know that you do n't want that , but i think he 's ready to let you go , and for your own good , sweetheart , i think you need to let that happen . jennifer : here , sit down . come on . talk to me . jj : paige , um ... she really , really likes kayla , and she looks up to her , and after finding out what dad did , she just could n't deal with it . jennifer : yeah . um ... you know , honey , maybe i could talk to her . jj : what ? no . jennifer : yeah , i mean , i think that i could get through to her maybe . jj : mom , no , you ca n't . jennifer : honey , at least let me try . jj : i - i said no . please . jennifer : okay , i 'm not going to push it , but i would love to explain to her ... that the same man that did that to kayla is not the same man that raised you , baby . jj : look , everything is just a mess right now , and paige sees me in a different way , and there 's no going back . so maybe just the best thing to do is -- is just to -- to break up with her . jennifer : okay , and that 's exactly what eve wants you to do , honey . jj : i just -- i do n't see how i can be with her . jennifer : what are you talking about ? this is n't your fault ! please , i mean , if your dad could see you right now , he would be beside himself . he loved you so much , and he would hate it if he thought that something that he did in his past was hurting you right now . he would hate that . jj : but it 's not about that , mom . it 's not about what dad did . my budget used to be hard on me . marlena : chad 's had his share of misery just being part of the dimera family . first he took a bullet meant for ej and then watched ej die so violently , and now he 's in mourning . but i must tell you , the dimera family ... they 've hurt so many people in this town . jordan : and you 're one of them , right ? marlena : i am . my children included in that . and i 'll tell you something -- that 's not so easy to forget . chad : i knew t could n't keep his damn mouth shut . sonny : i ca n't believe you told t and you did n't tell me . chad : well , i did n't confide in him . he overheard a phone call and put it together . i was n't supposed to tell anyone . there 's going to be a big announcement about it in a few hours . sonny : i 'm your partner ! i 'm your best friend , and you could n't tell me ? chad : no ! no one was supposed to know that i was going to be announced as co- ceo of dimera enterprises . eric : [ grunts ] be ever so humble . [ sighs ] heavenly father , i just pray that you bless this new home ... and bless this new start . [ chuckles ] maybe this is the place where i 'll finally figure out what you have in mind for me . nicole : daniel . daniel , oh , my god . okay , come on , are you okay ? daniel , wake up . hey , come on . daniel . oh , thank god . daniel : [ groans ] nicole : hey -- ow ! daniel : you 're out ! nicole : oh ! daniel : i won ! nicole : that was low ! daniel : no , it was n't ! nicole : that was so -- daniel : if you think you 're getting that , you got to get by me first . nicole : aah ! [ laughing ] daniel : no , you 're not ! you 're not gon na get by me first ! nicole : get -- daniel : never ! ha ha ! good try . huh ? never . eve : honey ... paige : did he say that he does n't want to be with me anymore ? eve : well , i just got a very clear impression that he just -- he ca n't be with you right now . paige : so you do n't actually know anything for sure . eve : well , i know that i do n't want to see you get hurt again , honey . paige : i ca n't handle this anymore , mom ! jj and i are going to be together , and there 's nothing you can do about that . eve : oh , yes , there is . i 'm not going to let you be with that boy . i 'm gon na make sure of it . jennifer : hey . i do n't know what you think you did ... but i do know that i 'm here , whatever you need , no matter what . jj : you 're the best . sometimes i , uh ... i do n't know why you put up with me . jennifer : i do -- because you 're my boy , and i love you . and there is nothing that you can say to me that will ever change that . jj : i 'm not sure i can tell you this even if i want to . jennifer : why , honey ? jj : because , it 's ... man , this is really hard . like i said , it really does n't have to do with dad . jennifer : then what ? what is it about ? [ doorbell rings ] maggie : okay . [ sighs ] whoever this is , they 're really impatient . melanie ? melanie : surprise . maggie : oh ! | jennifer wanted to know what happened between eve and jj . victor overheard sonny leaving a message to will . victor did n't think it was good that will did n't care enough about their relationship to get back to sonny . eric talked about moving on with his life . sonny explained to victor that will cared about him . victor wanted to know how much he knows chad . victor told sonny how chad was going to be working at dimera enterprises . chad told jordan that he 's co - ceo at dimera enterprises . jennifer demanded to know what happened between eve and jj . eve decided to tell jennifer the truth about what she overheard . victor warned sonny that his last name is kiriakis and chad is a dimera . victor reminded him that the two should n't mix . jordan was happy that chad got the promotion until she found out that he was working with kate . |

[ exhales ] i do n't know why i 'm so cynical . probably just my life experiences . anyway , gabrielle is on the rebound , as are you . listen , it 's not for me to tell you how to feel and how to behave , but i think , right now , you should be concentrating on thomas and rebuilding your business . chad : gabi 's a part of that business , so ... andre : oh ... maybe she should n't be . jennifer : i still do n't understand why you do n't want people to know that you 're back . they would be so thrilled , honey . abigail : no , i ca n't do it . jennifer : really , they would just not even -- please do n't tell me that you 're thinking about leaving again . abigail : it may be the only real option . jennifer : no . no , i will not let you do that . i will not let you leave again . i understand why you left before , but , honey , you 're well now , and people want to know that we did n't really lose you . abigail : mom , i have to be realistic . i mean , i ca n't just hide in the attic forever . come on . i mean ... and for me to just come out and tell people -- look . it 's really hard for me to have to say this to you ... but when i escaped from shady hills , mom ... i never intended to come back here . ever . i mean , crazy or not crazy or whatever it was , i was n't about to live the rest of my life locked in some mental institution . jennifer : you 're not crazy . please do n't say that , honey . abigail : you know , and i also -- i was n't gon na let chad deal with a wife who lives in a psych ward . coming for sad sunday visits . and thomas ? having thomas looking at me like i 'm some once - a - week stranger ? i mean , i ca n't even imagine . i mean , i remember how hard it was for you when grandma laura was institutionalized . jennifer : it 's not like that nowadays . abigail : maybe . okay , maybe you 're right , but all that i can remember is laying in a bed and hearing a bunch of doctors say about me that i -- say that i 'm a danger . i was a danger to myself , a danger to others . what in the world -- what if i had hurt thomas ? jennifer : no , that never would have happened . abigail : i do n't know , mom . i do n't . i mean , the drugs that they had me on ... i 'm fine now , but still . i never would have come back here . i never would have dared to come to salem if i had n't heard that jj 'd been shot . jennifer : which is so strange to me . how did you even hear about that ? abigail : i mean , there 's -- there are ways of keeping tabs on anything , anywhere . newspapers are all online now , so ...

roman : like it ? she 's gon na love it . i 'm happy for you . about damn time you two had your happily ever after . eric : dad , i 'm sorry . i have to go . one of the kids i counsel at the center , he just got arrested . roman : okay . well , good luck , hey . good luck with everything . eric : thanks . jennifer : i was standing on the balcony , and i was falling . and i wish that i could just sharpen the picture in my head . i just can't . justin : well , i 'm sorry to hear that , for eve 's sake . she 's been in prison all this time , and she swears that she 's innocent . jennifer : i 'm sorry . i just do n't remember . justin : please , do n't apologize . i did n't come here to press you on that . i just came by to visit and tell you how happy i am to see you awake . and i would have come by earlier , but -- jennifer : i know . you have been really busy . justin : yeah . everyone in salem seems to need a lawyer these days . jennifer : well , hard work agrees with you . you look great . justin : oh , thank you . yeah , i started working out . i 'm even running again . jennifer : well , you need to stay in shape for your better half . and , listen , i know that adrienne is probably so crazy at the paper . and you just tell her as soon as i am released from this place , i will be right there for her . and then the four musketeers , we could celebrate our collective anniversaries . hey , are you okay ? i mean your face just totally changed . what 's going on ? justin : i guess jack did n't tell you . jennifer : did n't tell me what ? kayla : do you mind if we -- just talk to you for a second , jack ? jack : sure , sure , sure . what 's up ? kayla : it 's just about justin and me . you know , you were so focused on jennifer , i did n't want to bother you . but now that she 's better , i just wanted to check in and see how you 're feeling about us being together . jack : why would you need to do that ? kayla : well , because justin was adrienne 's husband , and i was steve 's wife and -- jack : my brother , steve . as far as i 'm concerned , he is a hypocritical , no- good son of a bitch . maggie : has there been any word from the kidnapper ? sarah : nothing . nothing . and i ca n't just sit here and wait . i 'm going out of my mind . i 'm gon na go down to the police station . i think you should come with me . xander : i really want to , but one of us should stay by the phone in case there 's a ransom call , yeah ? sarah : right , right , right . rafe said to do that . maggie : honey , i 'll drive you , okay ? xander , would you please bring victor up to speed on everything , and tell him i 'll call him as soon as i can . come on , come on . xander : hey . is n't there something else you could be doing ? i know it 's a dreadful situation , but you do still have a job . ciara : yeah . xander : then please , go do it . ciara : yes . xander : i want to be alone . guard : i asked you a question . clyde : my son here has something that does n't belong to him . guard : you 'd better give it up . this kind of contraband is strictly forbidden in here . but sometimes , i make an exception . clyde : do n't look so surprised , son . you know i got friends here , there , and everywhere . now that we started this thing , it 's time to see it through to the end . [ phone beeps ] ben : is that xander ? clyde : yeah , yeah . he 's on the hook . and now i just got ta reel him in . [ phone beeps ] + victor : so , in order to get mackenzie back , we have to admit to what we did ? xander : yes , victor . that 's what they said . victor : who is `` they ? `` who the hell are these people ? xander : i do n't know . but they 're demanding we make a full confession . victor : to what ? xander : i think you know . victor : no , i do n't know . and neither do you , not for sure . after all , you 've done some pretty terrible things in your life . xander : not with you . victor : still , you have to ask . make them spell it out . xander : fine . i 'll do anything to get my daughter back . clyde : xander 's taking his sweet time to reply . must 've scared him good . ben : or you just pushed him too damn far away , and now we 're screwed . why did n't you listen to me ? clyde : quit your whining , will you ? he just responded . he wants to know exactly what we think they did . ben : clyde , just end this . clyde : the hell i will . victor : well ? what do they think we did ? xander : `` you sent an innocent man to prison . `` kayla : i did n't realize that you were so upset with him still . jack : why would n't i be ? after the ways he 's judged me for years ? meanwhile , he 's abandoned you and your kids again . his own sister dies ; he does n't even show up for the funeral . it 's unforgivable . kayla : i 'm as shocked and disappointed as you are . i mean adrienne adored him . she understood him . she listened to him . she supported him . she cut him slack when he messed up . jack : she was there for him , always . she was always there for him . was he there for her ? i do n't know . when she died -- when she -- when we -- did he put everything aside in his own business for his family ? no . no . his sister dies , and he sends a card . kayla : you know , i know that steve has put his work before his family before ... but this was beyond the pale . look , i 'm not perfect . i know that . i know that i have made so many mistakes in our marriage . but this just complete absence , it was just the final straw for me . jack : you had to send him the divorce papers . kayla : yeah . because i just hoped that it would rattle him enough to have him come back to me . it did n't work . and then i did n't hear from him for months . and then just one day , the divorce papers show up with his signature on it . not a call . nothing . just like that . thirty years . done . jack : so much for saint patch , my moralizing big brother . well , now , you 're with a good man . a good man that treats you right . kayla : yeah . but he 's not just any man . he 's justin . and i just need to know that your family is okay with that . jack : did it take some getting used to ? yeah , it did . it did . i 'm not gon na lie about that . but when i see how happy you have made justin , when i see the smile on his face again , and i see the hope in his heart ... i know my sister -- i know adrienne would be thrilled that you two just -- you found each other . kayla : what about you , jack ? jack : well , i have to ask you . are you happy ? kayla : i am . jack : that 's all that matters to me . kayla : you do n't know . there 's not a day that goes by that i do n't think about adrienne . you know that , right ? jack : yeah , me too , me too . jennifer does n't know about any of this . adrienne was her dearest friend , business partner . jennifer has no idea that she 's died . jennifer : what did n't jack tell me ? do n't tell me that you and adrienne split up again . you just got remarried last year . justin : no , no , no , no , no . no , it 's nothing like that . jennifer : then what is it ? justin : adrienne died . about this last year , we need to take , i mean especially about adrienne . kayla : excuse me . jack : am i doing the right thing ? keeping this from jennifer for now ? kayla : yeah , i think so . i mean we have so much to fill her in about this last year , we need to take it gradually , you know ? like , i mean especially about adrienne . jack : it 's just so much more complicated than telling her my sister died . it 's why , and how , and who 's in federal prison right now for causing this to happen . i know . i have to tell her . i have to tell her everything soon . i just want to do it in the right way , at the right time . jennifer : adrienne . no -- when did this happen ? justin : about six months ago . jennifer : did her cancer come back ? is that -- justin : no , no , no , no , no . no , she was still in remission . what happened was sudden . it was -- jennifer : i do n't even know what to say . that i was n't there for you , that i was n't there for adrienne . i ca n't even believe this . justin : she was the love of my life . she was the mother of my children . she was the strongest , bravest woman i have ever known . and when i lost her , i -- but i just , you know , i kept hearing her voice telling me to keep living my life . keep living . so , that 's what i 've been trying to do . jennifer : justin , you said it was sudden . what happened ? how did adrienne die ? sarah : i ca n't believe this is happening . i turned my head for one second , and when i looked back , she -- my little girl . maggie : we 're gon na get her back . sarah : well , why would somebody take her in the first place ? could it really be about money ? is that it ? maggie : well , the only reason i can think of is that the kidnappers must know that mickey 's father is the ceo of titan . and they 're gon na be in touch with you soon to ask for a ransom . sarah : and then what ? do we pay them what they want , and they 'll give her back ? maggie : no question about it . sarah : god , but if i never see her again , it 's my fault . maggie : oh , honey , do n't say that . come on , you just looked away for an instant . sarah : no , that 's not what i 'm talking about . i 'm not talking about what i did today . i 'm talking about what i 've done in the past . i kept that precious little girl away from her father , and now somebody 's keeping her away from me . xander : what should we do ? victor : nothing . i do n't negotiate with terrorists . xander : they -- they have my daughter . i have to do something . victor : if you want mackenzie back , you have to sit tight and not make any impulsive moves that could backfire on us both . xander : what choice do i have ? that little girl means the world to sarah and to me . i mean , you of all people understand what it 's like to have your family threatened . victor : i do . xander : good . then you can fire me , disown me , whatever you need to do . but i 'm not gon na sit tight . i 'm gon na do what i have to do to save my daughter . victor : do n't be a damn fool . if you admit to what we did , you know what the consequences will be . xander : well , maybe that 's a chance i 'm willing to take . ben : read it . clyde : it says , `` what exactly do you want me to do ? `` write a confession , sign it , and take it to the salem pd . victor : do n't make a mistake you ca n't fix . ben : for the record , i hate this . i hate that you did n't listen to me . i hate that you did exactly what i told you not to do . i hate the whole damn thing . so , now , clyde , you 're gon na make me a promise . clyde : is that right ? ben : that 's right . the second xander makes that confession to the cops , you are gon na tell your guy , whoever it is on the outside , to return sarah 's baby . clyde : i 'm sorry , son . no can do . i plan on keeping that baby for a good , long time . ben : why ? what are you -- clyde : because this is about more than just getting you sprung . this is about using that baby to bargain my way outta here , too . so , why do n't you just go to the phone , call that pretty girlfriend of yours , and tell her the good news that you 'll be coming home again real soon . and by the way , you 're welcome . maggie : you did n't keep mickey from her father . he 's been with her from day one . sarah : no . that 's not exactly true , mom . when i first found out that i was pregnant , i ... i considered getting an abortion . i even went to the clinic . maggie : oh , sarah . oh , i wish you had told me . sarah : no , i couldn't . i was in a panic . and my relationship with her father was precarious at best . maggie : look , you only slept with xander because you wanted to get over eric . sarah : i just -- i thought that there was no way that i could go through with this pregnancy . but then i changed my mind 'cause i realized that i wanted this baby , that i needed this baby . maggie : and you had a beautiful daughter . you have allowed her father to be a part of her life from the start . you have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about . oh , honey . honey . oh , god . look , i 'm gon na go see if there are any updates , okay ? sarah : would you please get me some water , mom ? maggie : oh , of course . i 'll be right back . eric , what are you doing here ? eric : a kid i counsel from the horton center got arrested , so i thought i 'd come and check on him . maggie : well , i hope he 's gon na be all right . eric : thank you . i 'm sure it will be . i 'm sorry , i see you with sarah in the other room . what 's going on ? maggie : so you have n't heard . eric : heard what ? maggie : sarah 's daughter was kidnapped . eric : what ? what happened ? maggie : well , sarah was walking through the square with mickey earlier today . and she took her eyes off her for a second , and when she turned back , she was gone . eric : i 'm so sorry , maggie . that 's awful . maggie : i told sarah that the kidnappers probably were after money . but i ca n't imagine who would do something like this . who would take sarah 's baby ? eric : i bet it had something to do with her father . xander : i can either wait and risk something terrible happening to mickey , or i can put an end to this right now . [ phone buzzing ] ciara : thank god i remembered to put this thing on vibrate . hey . ben : hey , i have to talk quick 'cause my phone 's about to run out of credit . ciara : okay . well , i 'm at the mansion and i 'm eavesdropping on xander . and he 's getting texts from mickey 's kidnapper . ben : yeah , i know . my father sent them . ciara : wait , he has a phone ? ben : i 'll explain later . tell me what you heard . ciara : well , okay . so , the good news is -- i mean if we can even call it good news -- is that my grandpa and xander seem guilty as hell . they would n't get into specifics about what they did , but grandpa warned xander not to confess . ben : as if he 'd ever do that . ciara : i do n't know , ben . i mean , the way he 's been freaking out about his daughter , i think he might . and now , you and mickey can come home . ben : that 's not exactly the plan my dad has in mind . ciara : what do you mean ? ben : xander 's confession might get me out of here . but clyde now has no intention of giving sarah and xander their baby back . jennifer : will is responsible for adrienne 's death , and now he 's in prison ? my god , how is sonny even handling that ? how are you even handling all of this ? justin : you know all too well what it 's like to lose someone you love so deeply . i shut down . i was in a really bad place for a long time . but as time went by , you know , something shifted . and i started letting people in . well , one parson in particular . and we 've become quite close . jennifer : oh , justin , i am so glad to hear that . justin : i mean talk about a godsend . i honestly do n't know how i could 've gotten through all this without her support . jennifer : her ? justin : yes . and i really do think you need to know that we 've become involved ... romantically . jennifer : you 're seeing someone ? adrienne just died . justin : no , no , no , no , no . no , honey , no . no , she did n't just die . you know , maybe better we talk about this another time . jennifer : no , i want to talk about this right now . tell me who this -- who she is . [ tense music ] justin : it 's kayla . jack : what ? what 's wrong ? what 's wrong ? jennifer : it 's adrienne . how can this have happened ? how could this be ? justin : jack , i 'm so sorry . i was n't gon na tell her , but she started talking about the four musketeers , and getting together . and i just -- jack : okay , okay , okay . it 's okay . jennifer : no , it 's not okay . why did n't you tell me ? jack : it was such a tremendous loss . i wanted to make sure you could handle it . it was -- jennifer : i am not talking about adrienne . i am talking about justin and kayla . jack : well , jennifer -- jennifer : how could you do this to adrienne ? jack : jennifer . jennifer : how could you ? you fought so hard for her . you said that you were gon na love her forever . and i know that she told you to keep living your life , but i do n't think she meant with kayla . my god , that 's your sister - in - law , your -- your best friend . i can understand you -- you -- you feeling grief , so you were attracted to each other . but did you have to get together in record time ? what was it , a couple days ? a week ? jack : jennifer , jennifer . adrienne has been gone for more than six months . i know how you feel . i know what it feels like . you 're lost in time . you were disoriented . you were confused . but she 's gone . just yesterday you and adrienne were thick as thieves , but now she 's been gone for more than half a year . justin : we should go . jennifer : oh , oh , god . xander : sorry , victor . but i have to do this . maggie : why would xander plot to kidnap his own child ? eric : i 'm not saying that he would . but he is a criminal with a lot of enemies . maybe one of them is looking for payback . maggie : well , i have to call victor . i said to sarah that i would bring in some water for her . would you mind ? eric : not at all . maggie : okay , thank you . eric : i heard . sarah : [ sobbing ] eric : hey . okay . it 's gon na be okay . ciara : do you have any idea who clyde could have sent to take the baby ? ben : i managed to grab his phone for one second . i saw one name , this guy ray . he lives outside of salem in this old , like , boarding house . ciara : okay . well , do you have his address ? ben : i think it 's on county road a ? ciara : okay , cool . i 'll check it out . ben : what ? no , no , no . ciara , the best thing you can do is just call the police . ciara : and what ? tell them that ben weston knows where baby mickey is ? no way , ben . the last thing that you need right now is to be implicated in a kidnapping . it could jeopardize your appeal , and you only have one left . ben : fine . then make an anonymous tip . say that you saw a kidnapping go down , and you felt obligated to report it , but you do n't want to be involved in any way . ciara , promise me you will call the police and let them handle this . ciara : okay , fine . ben : ciara , promise me .

[ scene_break ] marlena : alex , what 's happening to me ? i keep having these -- these bits and pieces of memory of our life together , but i ca n't feel any emotional connection to the memory . alex : hey , i do n't want this to upset you , because what 's happening to you now is n't uncommon . most amnesiacs , when they start regaining their memory , do so in bits and pieces . now , your memories are going to become more clear , and you will finally ... start to remember the love we shared just as deeply as i do . marlena : the kiss we shared certainly reinforced that . i did feel something then . alex : i know you did 'cause i felt it , too . at the risk of sounding a bit presumptuous , maybe you 're feeling some guilt because you 're not able to remember much about your past with john . marlena : i do . i do feel guilty . i 'm having flashes of memory of my life with john ... not the kind he so desperately wants me to have , not like the kind i 'm having of us . alex : well , unfortunately , i ca n't vouch for what your life was like with john , either . but i certainly ca n't imagine it came anything close to the life we shared .

[ overlapping chatter ] abigail : you know what ? hey , austin , can you help me with these ? austin : absolutely . abigail : because chad has something that he needs to do . chad : [ groans ] [ clears throat ] i , um , really care about your daughter , you know ? jack : yeah , so she and jennifer tell me . chad : okay , i get it . i 'm a dimera , and i get that 's a problem for you . it was a problem for me too when i found out i was stefano 's son . jack : i 'll bet . chad : you know , i 've been working really hard to be my own person , make my own way , but some people ca n't get over my last name , jack . jack : yeah , i know i 'm not alone in that . chad : look , i swear that i 'm not gon na be like the rest of my family , okay ? that i will treat your daughter like the amazing person she is , okay ? jack : for my daughter 's sake , i 'm going to broaden my thinking about you dating . just try to keep the , uh , massages out of the living room . chad : [ laughs ] okay , deal . jack : and you remember , giving your word and keeping it are two very different things .

hope : you know he 's innocent . stefano : you know , if i remember correctly , john and marlena lived in switzerland when that money disappeared . maybe that 's where he stashed it . hope : you mean , in a swiss bank account ? stefano : excuse me , i have things i have to do . hope : i 'm not leaving until you answer my questions . did you or did you not give my grandmother that paperweight ? stefano : yes , i did give alice that paperweight . carrie : leniency would also help every person who lost their savings or pension money . judge weston : how so , ms . reed ? carrie : the sooner he 's released , the sooner mr. black can work to recover the lost billions and repay everyone who was affected , and that , your honor , would be justice for all . judge weston : i 'll take your request for leniency into consideration , ms . reed . carrie : thank you , your honor . judge weston : mr. black , have you anything to say ? john : no , your honor . carrie : judge weston , could we have a small recess while i speak with my client ? judge weston : very well . i 'll be back in ten minutes to hear if mr. black has anything to say or not , and then i will make my ruling . john : [ sighs ] maggie : i wish i could have thanked lillian for giving you such a happy childhood and a loving home . she must have been a remarkable woman to have raised such a remarkable son . daniel : yeah , well , you know , i just wonder why she never told me the truth . maggie : lillian loved you very much . she was probably trying to protect you . daniel : i mean , protect me from what ? victor : lillian was the proudest and the happiest mother that i ever knew . she , uh , she never wanted to hurt you , daniel . you know that . daniel : whoa , this smells -- you think i could just have a little , like , a little taste ? maggie : oh , in -- in -- in -- in a few minutes . daniel : okay . oh , your myasthenia gravis , uh , acting up again ? maggie : uh , no . no , um , i was just massaging my hands from kneading all that pie dough . daniel , the medicine you 've put me on is working just fine . daniel : okay . well , that 's one more thing we need to be grateful for , then , right ? maggie : daniel , about the mg , i - i think , now that we know we 're related , that you and melanie , you should be tested for it . hope : i know you did . stefano : [ laughs ] you are determined and relentless . now , those are both qualities that i truly admire . now , look , if you ever get tired of the police force , i 'm sure i can find a job for you somewhere in my organization . hope : when hell freezes over , stefano . stefano : well , one never knows what the future has in store . hope : why did you give my grandmother the paperweight ? and what does the inscription mean ? stefano : ah , look , when i said to you that i gave alice the paperweight , all right , what i meant to say was , my company would send them out as gifts years ago . your grandmother must have done something charitable . hope : so what you 're saying is that you do n't remember giving it to her yourself ? stefano : well , i delegate , you know , mailing in my company , i mean , among other things . hope : hmm . the phoenix , the phoenix would not be on a corporate thank you gift , nor would the inscription `` to alice , a symbol of our bond . `` stefano : tomorrow is thanksgiving , hmm ? should you not be at home , helping bo with the stuffing -- hope : okay , you do n't want to tell me the truth , that 's fine . i 'll find out on my own . but is that really what you want ? jennifer : oh , abe , this was good . we got some good footage . abe : oh , packing food for the cameras felt like i was exploiting the homeless for my own political gain . jennifer : no , abe , that 's -- that 's not true . look , you did what you always do . it just happened to be in front of cameras for the voters to see on the local news . that 's okay . lexie : honey , she 's got a point . jennifer : excuse me . one second . lexie : okay . want some coffee ? abe : sure . jack : no , i appreciate the lead , i really do , and i 'm absolutely interested in following up on it . i will , i will . i 'll get right back to you . thank you . jennifer : are you kidding me ? are you kidding me ? jack : oh , jennifer ! jennifer : you 're gon na do this to me and abigail again ? jack : do what ? what have i done ? jennifer : i just heard you on the phone . you just accepted another assignment . jack : no , no , no . it 's not what you think . jennifer : were -- were you gon na tell us ? were you gon na tell us or just disappear again , jack ? jack : jennifer , it 's not what you think . jack : jennifer , i can explain . jennifer : you know , i thought you were serious when you said that you wanted to change the way that you act , how you treat people that you claim to love , but i was wrong . you did n't get help , jack . you just jumped onto the next assignment . jack : that 's not true . jennifer : how could i ever trust that you would really want to commit to some humdrum life with me and abigail ? your career has always meant more to you , always , than we have . abigail : what did dad do now , mom ? jennifer : oh , oh , he 's off on another story , right ? when are you leaving , jack ? jack : jennifer . jennifer : what ? jack : it 's not what your mother thinks . yes , i have been offered another assignment , but -- jennifer : [ laughs ] jack : it 's to teach journalism at salem university . jennifer : what ? abigail : are you serious ? austin : that 's great , jack . jack : yeah , it is . uh , i - i - i - i would n't take it unless i talked to you first , but if i do take it , it means that i have to stay here in salem for , say , the rest of my life . jennifer : oh , uh , jack . abigail : really , dad ? jack : uh , look , i 'm just -- you know , like i said , i 'm just trying to start over , and this time , i want to do it right . daniel : oh , you 're right , yeah . myasthenia gravis can have a hereditary component . unlikely , but -- melanie : we should get tested , just to make sure . daniel : okay , to put everyone 's mind at ease , but let 's not , you know , make too much of it , all right ? maggie : i 'm sorry i brought this up . i did n't mean to -- to be a downer on today of all days . melanie : you 're not . daniel : oh , stop . maggie : i tell you what . we 'll try to straighten up here , and you two go -- [ laughs ] daniel : good luck . maggie : and get the thanksgiving china . um , it 's down in the basement in boxes and -- oh , and please do n't laugh -- i tried to draw a turkey on them . mmnh . melanie : oh , i know what she 's talking about . daniel : with the hand ?

[ daniel and melanie laugh ] daniel : you have flour all over your face . melanie : [ laughs ] victor : you 're worried . maggie : yeah , i am . i 've lived very well with mg , but i would n't want to wish this disease on anyone else . my son is a surgeon . he needs his hands and his eyes to save lives . victor : you heard daniel . very unlikely .

[ sighs ] you 're alive today , thanks to me . hope : i never would have been locked up in that castle turret with you in the first place if it were n't for you , but you know what ? if you want to walk down memory lane , let 's -- let 's talk about my grandmother . stefano : no , i 'd rather not . hope : all right , fine . i 'll get my answers without you . stefano : instead of asking me questions about alice , maybe you should , uh , question yourself . hope : what do you mean ? stefano : you were so close to your grandmother , hope . if she and i had such a bond for so many years , why did she go to her grave without telling you ? carrie : you have to say something in your defense . keeping quiet makes you look guilty , and that could get you a longer prison sentence . marlena : carrie 's right . this is no time to be stoic . john : i 'm afraid anything that i say will ring hollow . i mean , how can i ask for mercy after i 've already pleaded guilty to crimes that i do n't even remember committing ? marlena : john , that 's all the more reason . john : the victims want their pound of flesh . the sooner they get it , the safer my family will be . marlena : we 're not -- judge weston : so , ms . reed , does your client wish to make a statement ? john : thank you , judge weston . there is nothing i would like to say . judge weston : as you wish . the court will now render its decision in the matter of the people versus john black . victor : what 's jennifer doing for thanksgiving ? daniel : hell if i know . well , the short version is , i saw her kissing jack , and my kneejerk reaction was to tell her to break it off . she agreed , and now i 'm wondering if i made a mistake . victor : you love jennifer ? daniel : i do . victor : well , then , go after her , man . do n't let jack get the advantage . all is fair in love and war . melanie : found it . victor : oh , crisis averted . daniel : do n't break that . maggie : [ laughs ] okay , less sarcasm , more slicing . oh ! melanie : [ laughs ] maggie : darling , i 'm so proud of you . they are perfect ! victor : you know , i ca n't remember the last time i saw the staff slicing potatoes let alone did any myself , and i think the company and you , my darling bride , are responsible for my unusually good mood . maggie : well , that settles it . i 'm gon na give you a potato slicer for christmas . [ maggie and victor laugh ] [ kiss ] maggie : oh . daniel : you know , i 've decided to fight for jennifer . i 've got to believe that we can be that happy one day . abigail : so , you 'd be teaching classes on the same campus where i 'd be going to school ? jack : well , if that 's a problem , i can certainly go find something else . jennifer : look , sweetie , the campus is big . it 's getting bigger every day . austin : i noticed that the campus got bigger too when i went for my interview . abigail : what ? excuse me ? austin : well , i did n't want to say anything because i did n't know how long carrie and i were gon na stay in salem , but i was offered a job creating and teaching a course in forensic accounting . jennifer : what ? that is great , austin . abigail : that 's a great idea . i 'd love -- you should totally take that . jennifer : uh , excuse me . could i have a moment with your dad just for a second ? abigail : oh , yeah , sure . here , let 's go . jack : see you on campus . austin : yes . jack : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] jennifer : i apologize . i jumped to conclusions right there . jack : you hate the idea , do you ? jennifer : no , no . i mean , thank you for asking , but i do n't hate it . i do n't hate the idea at all . under one condition . jack : yes , yes . i 'm gon na go get therapy just like i promised you . jennifer : no , no , that 's it . i do n't want you to do this to please me . i want you to do this for you , and -- and so that you can get help . jack : i will , i will . that 's -- that 's another reason i 'm sticking around here -- to fix myself and fix all the relationships with all the people i 've hurt along the way . jennifer : good . well , if miracles came with thanksgiving , i think i just got mine . hope : then it 's true . there was a bond between you and my grandmother . stefano : you were very close . she loved you . hope : and i loved her more than you 'll ever know . stefano : well , she had a special quality about her and , uh , she was a virtuous woman , loved by all . that 's the way you remember her . that 's the way you knew her . hope : because it 's true . stefano : [ laughs ] but it 's also true that if she hid things in the dark corners of her attic , it must have meant that she did n't want anyone to find them , including you . hope : what are you suggesting ? stefano : forget you ever found that paperweight . alice would have wanted that . hope : how do you know ? stefano : well , i know because if she wanted you to know , she would have told you . look , let the secrets of the dead stay with the dead in peace . judge weston : although you chose not to speak on your behalf , others have . i received letters from your family and friends . even mayor carver wrote the court to ask for leniency in your case . i 've taken his request into consideration . i also received letters from union leaders , government officials , and countless individuals who blame you for robbing them of their pensions , investments , and life savings . you used your position of trust , your reputation as a fine , upstanding man , to plunder billions from unsuspecting clients . not only have you destroyed their lives , you 've robbed them of hope itself . carrie : judge weston -- judge weston : i 'm speaking ! at no time since your indictment have you shown true remorse . your actions are reprehensible . so , in order to send a clear message to all those are entrusted with other people 's money , i hereby sentence you , john black , to serving twice the time in prison that the prosecution has requested . carrie : your honor , please ! judge weston : john black will served 50 years in prison without the possibility of parole . [ bangs gavel ] marlena : no , this ca n't be . carrie : your honor , 50 years amounts to a life sentence . judge weston : i know . [ bangs gavel ] hope : my grandmother was nothing like you , stefano . she did n't have deep , dark secrets . stefano : i 'm not disputing that . i mean , sometimes good people can make bad choices , do you understand ? i mean , choices that put them in very strange places . i mean , you , of all people , you should -- [ laughs ] be able to recognize that . hope : we 're not talking about my past . we 're talking about gran , and you 're trying to make it sound like she led a double life , and she did n't . stefano : this is my point -- that when you learn about other people 's secrets , sometimes you learn things that you really do not want to know -- their weaknesses , their mistakes , and the price that they 've paid to be human . and the price that they 've paid to be human . singer : mmm ooh , ooh , ooh just when you believe the dream is real you 're finding out that there are other secrets to reveal it spins you ' round and leaves you a bit unsure if happiness is really waiting for you anymore is this the end or a just a moment lost along the way ? you brace yourself for anything you say that 's when your best - laid plans begin to slip away if fate can intervene and lend a hand turn the tides of fortune and help you understand is this the end or just a moment lost along the way ? along the way abigail : i have great news , and it is so good for your site , too . quinn : it 's a real pleasure to work on you . kate : are you hitting on me ? john : brady , i 'm gon na have to ask you for one last favor . | maggie and victor planned for thanksgiving dinner at her house . daniel and melanie were there too . daniel and melanie talked about him getting to know maggie . they also talked about jennifer and how he made it easy for jennifer and jack to be together . melanie admitted to having a crush on someone , but she would n't say who it was . she thought about the kiss she and chad had . at the brady pub , abe , lexie , jennifer , and abby were getting ready for thanksgiving dinner . austin showed up to help because carrie was busy with john 's case . abby was happy and the two started talking . chad showed up and tried to kiss abby , but she pulled away from him . jack watched them , but jennifer warned him to stop . jack wanted to keep abby away from chad . at the holding cell , carrie , john , and marlena talked about his case . hope went to the dimera mansion to talk to stefano about the paperweight . she asked why he gave it to alice . stefano wanted to know where she found it . she told him she found it in alice 's attic with other things . he wanted to know what else she found . she asked if there was n't a connection between him and alice , why was he avoiding her questions . daniel and maggie bonded over spending thanksgiving together . when maggie rubbed her hand , daniel asked if her myasthenia gravis was bothering her . she said it was n't . she suggested that daniel and melanie get tested since they are related . jack and chad finally got along for abby 's sake . chad promised to treat abby right . stefano told hope that she was wasting her time grilling him about the paperweight . she did n't ' think she was . he changed the subject and talked about john being sentenced . hope told him that john was innocent . |

[ whistles ] like that ? just -- nicole : yeah , just like that . no , whatever feelings i had for father eric , or soon to be just eric , whatever , they are dead and buried . jennifer : i 'm sorry that i gave you the silent treatment all the way over here . this is just something i did n't want to talk about in public . eric : jennifer , what do you want to tell me ? is there something you know about kristen ? have you heard from her ? jennifer : no , and i really doubt that i will . you know , it 's just so crazy . i - i know that i was her only friend in salem , and i really did n't know how damaged she was , eric . eric : no one did , except my mother . jennifer : yeah , i - i know . and then when i saw that video in the church , i knew that kristen was guilty , and not just because the look in her eyes , but i know , eric , that you would never seduce anyone , including kristen . i mean -- eric : jennifer , listen , i really , really appreciate your support and your wanting to talk to me about this . i 'm just not sure why you thought it should be in private . jennifer : because there is more . t - there is something to all of this stuff with kristen that you deserve to know , something that i know in my heart i should have told you sooner ... and i need to tell you now . rafe : okay . jordan : okay . rafe : all right . jordan : right there . rafe : i 'm good . all right , all right . jordan : okay , okay . rafe : thanks . jordan : [ grunts ] rafe : cool . jordan : that was incredible -- your first steps ! rafe : yeah , how about that , huh ? [ both chuckle ] rafe : it was -- yeah . wish i could have done a few more . jordan : we talked about this , remember ? baby steps . rafe : oh , yeah . baby steps . listen ... i need you to be honest with me right now . does this mean i 'm gon na be able to walk again ? gabi : um , that 's a very generous offer . sami : then you 'll take it . gabi : no , i 'm sorry . i wo n't . sami : oh , i see . so it 's not about doing what 's best for your daughter . it 's that you want to move to new york -- that glitzy , glamorous lifestyle , being a model , having the career fizzle out by the time you 're 25 . gabi : thank you for your support , sami . sami : well , i 'm just being realistic . gabi : [ sighs ] sami : you know better than anyone what that life is like . gabi : what i know is that i have to give this a chance . sami : if that modeling agency is as hot for you as you say , they 're gon na be working you 24 - 7 , which is amazing , except for the part where you will be kissing your daughter good - bye first thing in the morning , giving her to a nanny , and then you will be home to kiss her while she is already asleep at night . gabi : oh , my god , what -- what is it that you want from me , sami ? sami : if you need to do this , i totally understand and respect that . you go follow your dreams . you go to new york city . but you leave ari here . gabi : what ? sami : what ? leave her here with her father , with the family that loves her , and we will take care of her . gabi : okay . sami : we 'll do a great job looking after her . gabi : no , no , you have to be out of your mind . i 'm not gon na leave ari here ! no , i 'm not gon na do that . and it 's not as bad as you 're describing . it will not be as bad as that , all right ? this agency wants ari too , and we 're gon na go out there ... sami : what ? gabi : and it 's gon na be -- sami : what ? ari is part of the deal ? kate : new york . i just ca n't believe that gabi would do something like this . will : well , she is , unless we can convince her not to . kate : so ... moving to new york ? [ scoffs ] you know , i think we 're all just going to have to make it completely clear to gabi that this is not acceptable . will : okay . kate : there 's still time to change her mind . will : what if we ca n't ? kate : does anyone else know about this ? will : mom and sonny 's dad . sonny : gabi did make up her mind , though . i mean , she 's -- well , she did say she 's not gon na make any more decisions without talking to will first . kate : [ scoffs ] that 's big of her . will : yeah . kate : here , sweetie . will : okay . kate : take her . will : yeah , ooh , hi . kate : listen to me . i do n't want you to worry about this , all right ? because i 'm going to do everything i have to do . no one , not even her mother , is going to take little arianna away from us . will : okay . kate : okay , sweetie . i love you . will : bye , you too . sonny : see you . will : we 'll see you out . kate : thanks . i know what you 're up to . you are not gon na get away with it . hope : i know it 's been a very hard time for you . nick : it 's been rough , yeah , but that 's why i think it 's gon na be better for me someplace else , you know , where -- where people do n't know what happened to me in prison and people do n't look at me with pity and -- and disgust . [ laughs ] you know ? hope : i ca n't tell you how it breaks my heart to hear you say that , that you feel that way , but i understand . [ cell phone ringing ] nick : shoot . [ sighs ] i got to go . hope : oh , already ? nick : i do n't want to miss my flight . hope : oh , nick . nick : [ sighs ] hope : honey , i ... i 'm so sorry that things did not work out for you here . nick : [ sighs ] do n't worry about me . hope : how can i not ? nick : okay ? do n't worry about me . i 'm serious . i think things are gon na be really good for me in new york . hope : they 're gon na be great . nick : all right . hope : i love you . nick : i love you too . bye . hope : bye , nick . nicole : thank you . and i will try not to be the guest that kissed the host out of the blue and for absolutely no reason at all . and besides , i wo n't have time , you know , to do those kind of shenanigans because i start my new job tomorrow . daniel : what new job ? nicole : mm - hmm . well , i , uh -- it 's kind of new / old , actually . i - i got my `` roving tv reporter `` gig back . [ chuckles ] daniel : what ? nicole : yeah . daniel : wh -- why did n't you tell me this ? nicole : i am telling you right now . daniel : well , yeah , now you 're telling me . nicole : look , it 's not like anyone 's really gon na know for a while , because my stuff does n't actually air for a few weeks , so .. daniel : that -- that 's -- that is awesome . nicole : yeah . daniel : nicole , that 's great . nicole : i know . i think so too , and i 'm ready to hit the ground running , so ... daniel : i 'll bet you are . um , can you do me just one favor ? nicole : yeah , name it . daniel : uh , please , whatever you do , no expose , say , on -- on me . nicole : really ? daniel : yeah . nicole : well , i - i was kind of hoping you 'd be my first subject . daniel : okay , i 'm gon na get a real - estate magazine so you can find another place to live . nicole : daniel , wait . daniel : no . nicole : [ laughs ] i 'm kidding . i 'm totally kidding . no ! yes , i 'm kidding . daniel : you 're kid -- no , yes ? nicole : i 'm kidding . daniel : you 're kidding ? nicole : no , it 's just -- i 'm kidding . [ laughs ] daniel : i swear ... [ laughs ] i will ... jennifer : i have a part in all of this . eric : you ? how ? jennifer : because kristen told me that when she and brady had broken up , she was unfaithful to him . eric : she told you ? jennifer : yeah . and for a moment , for a really terrifying moment , she thought that she was pregnant with this other man 's child . i me , she was n't . eric : [ sighs ] jennifer : but that 's why , throughout this whole ordeal , she was so emphatic about not saying anything to brady , because she was afraid that he would never forgive her for her mistake . so i - i comforted her , and -- and i just let it go , 'cause i just did n't feel like it was really my business at the time . but then when i saw that video in the church of the two of you together , i - i realized why she could n't tell brady , because she had set this whole terrible thing up , eric . eric : and because the other man was me . my god , if she was pregnant ... jennifer : yeah . that would have been your baby , yeah . so what i 'm saying is , if i had n't protected her , this whole thing would have resolved so much differently . that nightmare in the church -- it never would have happened . so i 'm just asking you , please , can you forgive me ? kate : [ sighs ] nick : hey , kate . uh , in your text , you said you had another check for me . kate : yeah ? well , i lied , you son of a bitch . nick : [ chuckles ] gabi : arianna is part of the deal because i am her mother , and i want her to be there , and the agency knows that . sami : and that 's it ? gabi : to be honest , yes , they want a photo shoot with me and the baby . sami : are you 're okay with that ? your 6-month - old daughter ... gabi : yes , i 'm fine . sami : being under those hot lights and having to wake her up so the photographer can get the shot that he 's looking for . gabi : sami , i 'm not selling her into slavery , come on . sami : we 've all seen those reality shows . i mean , a parent pushing their kid into a career so they can be exploited . gabi : i would never let that happen , please . sami : well , i hope that 's true but , gabi , this has happened very quickly . it 's very exciting . i totally understand that you want to do what 's best for your child . i 'm asking you to consider my offer , please . gabi : i will . but , uh , i ca n't promise you that i 'll change my mind . sonny : will , i hate what is happening . will : me too . but i am fine . so , if -- if you just want to , you know , go to work , you know , it 's -- sonny : no , i -- no , t 's covering for me . i already told you that . i just want to be here with you . will : thanks . you want to keep an eye on me ? sonny : i just do n't want you to do anything to make the situation worse . will : how could i possibly make the situation worse ? sonny : by doing something irrational that will cost you ari and land yourself in jail . i see you thinking about it . will : what are you -- how could i -- sonny : taking ari away without gabi 's consent is considered kidnapping , okay ? i 'm worried 'cause you 're upset , and i do n't want you to do anything crazy like that . you could lose ari forever . jordan : we 've had this conversation before . rafe : yeah , well , we 've never had the conversation three minutes after i took two steps . jordan : true . rafe : right ? jordan : and while i ca n't guarantee results , i can try and help you achieve them . but in my opinion , in my professional opinion and based on my experience so far , i do n't think that you 'll just walk again . i think you will be back to normal . rafe : yeah ! [ laughs ] i 've actually never been normal , so ... jordan : then it will be a miraculous recovery . rafe : yes , it will . jordan : [ laughs ] rafe : thank you . daniel : i got to -- i got to get to the hospital anyway , so ... nicole : okay . actually , i have some errands to run too . in fact , i get to stop by the rectory and get my mail . daniel : but are n't you worried about seeing eric ? nicole : no , he wo n't be there . daniel : what , you checked ? nicole : daniel , they suspended him . eric : of course i forgive you . listen , the truth is , even if you would have come forward after the things that you found out , it would n't have changed anything . jennifer : are you -- why ca n't the church reconsider ? they have to forget about what they saw and look at what was done to you . you are the victim here . eric : not unless they find kristen and she confesses . there 's no proof of that , so i do n't understand why anything would change . [ cell phone ringing ] eric : [ sighs ] excuse me . hope , hi hope : i have news about kristen . i need to see you right away . i ran into eric . he told me , and as long as kristen is m.i.a . and -- and not talking , i do n't think they 're ever gon na let eric back in as a practicing priest . what ? daniel : what , you just -- just happened to run into eric ? nicole : well , uh , yeah . daniel : and then when you saw him , all that stuff came up , right ? and then kissing me was just a distraction from that . [ chuckles ] nicole : wha -- what crazy - ass loop - de - loop did you get on to come up with that conclusion ? daniel , no . one has nothing to do with the other . daniel : okay . um , look , i - i know -- i know why you 're angry with eric , but you ca n't blame him for what kristen did . nicole : um , i do n't blame him . i blame kristen , and i 'm hoping she 's fertilizer in some potted plant , although that would n't be very fair to the plant , now , would it ? daniel : [ laughs ] nicole : [ sighs ] daniel : not so much . nicole : look , um ... i blame eric for thinking the worst of me ... when he should have known better . daniel : yeah . well , you know , we got our own stuff . nicole : yeah . daniel : i mean , i 'm not even sure where eric and i stand as friends , but i still , i - i ca n't -- i ca n't turn my back on him . i hope that 's not confusing for you . nicole : no , of course not . i 'm glad someone wants to help him . it just ca n't ever be me again . eric : i 'll be there soon , hope . thanks . jennifer : what , does she have a lead on kristen ? eric : she would n't say . she just wants to see me in person . jennifer : okay , that -- that sounds hopeful . let me know , all right ? and just thank you again for understanding my silence about kristen . she was trying to destroy your family and using you to do it . eric : you had no way of knowing that . jennifer : i suppose so , but i have been wrong about a lot of people lately . eric : you talking about daniel now ? jennifer : on that note ... i need to get going . eric : right , me too . jennifer : i 'll grab your coat . nick : uh ... [ laughs ] i have no idea why you 're acting so crazy , but i do n't really have time for it . kate : well , then you need to make time . you going somewhere , nick ? nick : yeah , actually . kate : would n't be new york , would it ? nick : yeah , it would be . i - i got a job offer there , and -- and i 'm gon na jump at it , if that 's okay with you . kate : you lying little snake . i know why you 're going to new york , and it 's to set up house with gabi and the baby . nick : i got a job . i got a job , kate , a really good one , and if gabi and arianna end up going there too , then i guess that 's how fate will have it . kate : really ? do you really think you 're going to get away with that ? nick : look , you know what ? you were -- you were so nice to me when i made your company a boatload of money , and then you were so happy for me when you heard i was leaving , and it 's just -- it 's so fake . it 's so disingenuous , and it 's completely transparent , just like everybody else in this town . but you know what ? it does n't matter , because i do n't even belong here . kate : well , you do n't belong with gabi and will 's baby either . rafe : i mean , yeah , it sounds like an incredible offer . but new york ? really ? w - what , you and arianna -- you 're just gon na , what , up and move there ? gabi : well , i would never get a deal like that here . rafe : i know . i get it . it 's just ... i would miss you and the baby a lot , you know ? gabi : rafe , you can come see us whenever you want , and we 'll be back here once a month . rafe : right . [ scoffs ] well , what about will , huh ? he ca n't be too happy about this . gabi ? gabi : [ sighs ] rafe : how did will take the news ? will : give me a little credit , sonny . i 'm not gon na kidnap my daughter . the first thing i need to do is get a job somewhere , and i 'm hoping that either grandma kate or ej can help me out with that . sonny : ej , yeah ... 'cause that worked out in the past . will : i am a little different now , and so is he . sonny : wait , did you -- did you say that you need to get a job `` somewhere `` ? will : mm - hmm . if gabi 's going to new york and we ca n't stop her , then i need to go to new york and get a job too . to gabi as a mother , then i will have to find another way to deal with her ... even if it means dealing with the devil . kate : all i care about is my great - granddaughter being near her father . so , if you think you 're gon na keep will away from his baby , you can think again , you little creep ! nick : look , look , look , kate , i was wrong about will and sonny , okay ? i was working through my own issues , they took the hit for it , and that was a mistake . but being with gabi has nothing to do with will being taken away from his daughter . kate : [ sighs ] nick : gabi 's already offered to come back once a month , and will can come to new york whenever he wants to , and i support that . kate : oh , wow . are n't you a sweetheart ? nick : yeah , i am a sweetheart , in my professional life and in my personal life . in fact ... [ sighs ] here ... the project we talked about . this one 's on the house . take it . [ sighs ] good - bye , kate . kate : [ sighs ] oh , sami , do i need to talk to you . [ cell phone ringing ] kate : [ scoffs ] looks like we 're on the same page for once . you need to talk to me as well . gabi : well , will 's not happy about it , no ... neither is sami . rafe : oh , hmm . yeah , i can imagine . gabi : but , you know , they do know that it 's a really great opportunity , not only for me , but for arianna . i hope that you can see that too . rafe : well , i get that -- i mean , i understand that this is tempting for you -- i do . it 's just , uh ... [ sighs ] you 're a mom now . you have a baby , and if you leave , a lot of people are gon na be really upset , especially me . i 'm gon na miss you and my niece . but ... you are a grown - up now ... a mom . it 's your life . it 's your decision . i mean , it has to be . gabi : so you support my decision to move to new york ? rafe : [ chuckles ] well , i love you , so ... yes , i support your decision ... gabi : mm . rafe : whatever it is . gabi : thank you , rafe . rafe : mm - hmm . eric : you know , if you need some help , all you got to do is ask . daniel : i do n't , uh -- i do n't mean to bother you . i just want to say i 'm sorry you have to witness the disciplinary hearing . it 's the last thing i wanted to subject you to . jennifer : you know , you really need to get over yourself . nick : gabi ... is everything okay ? gabi : no . no , it 's not . sonny : you 'd consider moving to new york ? will : absolutely . if we did n't have any other choice , uh , yes . we can go there . we can get our own place . i mean , we can be with the baby . i could transfer to n.y.u . sonny : just like that ? will : yeah , i think i could get in . one of my mentors at berkeley is a professor there , so ... he likes me . what ? sonny : i ca n't move to new york . sami : okay . kate : [ sighs ] sami : oh . we have a problem . kate : oh , you have no idea . sami : [ sighs ] some love to pretend . jennifer : i do n't want , or need , your patronizing concerns . i will be just fine . daniel : okay , jenn , i am just trying -- jennifer : what , trying to spare me the embarrassment of your actions ? well , just so you know , i wo n't be agonizing over what happened between you and theresa . in fact , i will feel nothing at all ... except maybe revulsion and disdain , but other than that , daniel ... daniel : okay , jenn -- jennifer : no , do n't you get it ? you mean nothing to me . nicole : what are you doing back here ? eric : i forgot something . nicole : yeah , well , me too . well ... good - bye , eric . hey . hope : hey . i 'm sorry . did i interrupt something ? eric : no ... not at all . rafe : [ winces ] hey . jordan : i forgot to have you sign off on the paperwork . rafe : oh , sure . jordan : i 'm really proud of the progress you made today . rafe : well , thanks to you . jordan : you okay ? you seem kind of quiet . rafe : mm . my sister 's news ... jordan : yeah ? rafe : she 's moving to new york with the baby . jordan : new york ? why ? rafe : mm , she 's got some amazing offer with a modeling agency . huh . i just do n't know if it 's the best thing for them . jordan : well , your sister strikes me as a smart girl . she 'll figure it out . but if she needs help , she 'll come to you . rafe : you 're right . jordan : i know i am .

[ chuckles ] adrienne : you told him to stop the wedding ? sonny : yes . no , i mean , sort of . i told him if he still had feelings for you , he needed to let you know . i did n't know he was going to burst in in the middle of your wedding . adrienne : you 've met your father , right ? sonny : yes . and i 'm too old to be trying to get my parents back together , so i am sorry . adrienne : [ scoffs ] sonny : what -- what could i do to make this better ? please tell me . adrienne : nothing . nothing , sonny . honestly , the damage is done . it 's just lucas . he does n't deserve any of this . god , what he must be going through right now . all because i could n't make up the last five feet of the aisle . sonny : mom , what are you going to do ? are you going to marry lucas or are you going to get back with dad ? adrienne : [ exhales sharply ] i have no idea . i love them both . which means that my life once again is going to be a trainwreck of epic proportions . it 's just going to go on and on and on because i ca n't make a decision . sonny : i might be able to help you out with that . adrienne : [ scoffs ] justin : so there she was , standing there in her wedding dress about to marry someone else . and i just could n't let that happen . victor : [ chuckles ] well , you always did have an interesting sense of timing . justin : you know what ? i know you never liked adrienne , and i really am not in the mood to hear another lecture about how she 's beneath me , so ... victor : i 'm starting to think that i 'm not the best judge of character . justin : really ? that 's new . victor : people deserve an opportunity to change . i 'd have to be blind now to see how much adrienne still means to you . [ phone ringing ] justin : hello ? you bet . i 'll be right there . victor : good news ? justin : maybe the best . jennifer : this is not a good time . andré : no , it is n't . and i came here to offer you a statement about hope 's sentencing in my father 's death . and if you do n't think that 's news enough , then you 're more biased than i thought . jennifer : okay , a statement ? that 's fine . can we , uh , set up a time that 's more appropriate for an interview , please ? andré : you know , jennifer , why do i get the feeling that you 're desperate to get me out of your house ? why are you being so rude ? rafe : you cheated on my sister ? jj : if you want to take a swing at me , go ahead . i 've got it coming . rafe : well , i sure as hell do n't blame her for kicking your ass to the curb . i 'm not gon na hit you . jj : you sure ? rafe : [ exhales sharply ] she 's a grown woman . if she ever decides to forgive you , i guess i will too . [ phone beeps ] gabi : my , uh -- chad : no . gabi : uh , sorry . uh . arianna , uh , my babysitter 's sending me photos of arianna at the park . chad : damn , okay . this feels wrong . gabi : yeah . yeah , it does 'cause of abigail . chad : okay . [ exhales sharply ] ah , okay . i mean , i 'm not -- i 'm not -- i 'm not past abby . yeah , and i do n't think you 're past jj . gabi : yeah , absolutely not . no , and -- and -- and our kids . we -- we would be bringing them into a rebound relationship . this is crazy . chad : yeah , and it would be wrong . gabi : it would be confusing . it would be weird for them . chad : and then if they got -- if they got attached , and it did n't work out . gabi : yeah , i mean , they 're pretty attached now , but ... chad : any more attached , though , would be -- it 'd be worse . gabi : so , uh , what are we going to do ? chad : well , hmm . um . [ chuckles ] take a break . yeah ? gabi : yeah . yeah . chad : take a step back . we 'll pause . you quitting ... for now , but -- but we 've been -- we 've been spending a lot of time together , yeah ? working really closely together . probably too much , so i think that maybe we 'll just ... slow it back down . andré : you know , the demonization of my father reflects poorly on everyone in salem , especially the bradys and the hortons . my father was a victim of violence just as your son was . jennifer : okay , that 's great . i have what i need . your statement will show up shortly online and in tomorrow 's print edition . and , um , if you do n't mind , it 's been a really long and difficult day . andré : oh , no , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to ... intrude . i see you have company . jennifer : yeah , just , uh , me and jj . andré : huh . dinner with your children . how wonderful is that . i do remember those times with my father where we used to sit across the table and share stories . ahem . excuse me . do you think you can get me a glass of water , please ? jennifer : yes , sure . andré : ah , do n't worry about the water . um , i just remembered something . i 'll get in touch with you later . gabi : so we , uh , just keep our distance . chad : uh , for -- for now . gabi : so for now , that 's , uh , days or weeks ? chad : you know , i 've never -- i - i -- gabi : yeah , me neither . okay . chad : yeah , i did n't , um , expect -- gabi : to have feelings ? why would you ? chad : yeah . you 're abby 's friend . gabi : you 're her husband . chad : yeah , after all these years i do n't -- gabi : especially considering how badly the first time turned out . chad : we 're different now . gabi : yeah , we 're different . we 're different . chad : yeah , and , you know , if it -- if it were to happen ... down the road ... gabi : yeah , i mean , if we were to ... act on our feelings , you 'd have to ... make sure you 're -- everything was right , and you 're not sure . chad : neither are you . gabi : right . chad : and you have n't talked to jj . i 'm not saying you should get back together . but , uh , avoiding him is n't going to make things any clearer . gabi : is that what you think i should do ? i should get back with jj ? chad : i got ta work . a lot of ink in this pile ... gabi : yeah , i got ta go to the station to see rafe . um , i 'll see you ... whenever . chad : mm - hmm . uh , gab ... gabi : all right . chad : you have a good night . gabi : okay . rafe : what the hell 's the matter with you ? hmm ? you look disappointed that i 'm not going to punch you in the face . jj : no . i just was n't expecting you to be so ... understanding . rafe : did i say i was okay with it ? did i ? i do n't think i did 'cause i 'm not okay with it . but i lost a sister ... just like you did . i know how that ... can screw you up , so ... you 're a good cop . you 're a good guy . jj : i 'm really glad you 're sure of that . rafe : so how badly did she take it ? jj : she wo n't talk to me at all right now . if she lets me try , i will do everything i can to win her back . [ knocking ] both : what are you doing here ? i got a call from -- wait , you got a call ? lucas : forget it . sonny : good . you 're both here . justin : good ? your definition of good is a little different from mine . what is this ? adrienne : sonny , who are you talking to ? i hope it 's not room service . we already have enough food for -- [ exhales sharply ] three people . somebody want to fill me in on what the heck is going on here ? justin : ask your son . adrienne : you did this ? lucas : oh , sonny called me and said you wanted to see me . he did n't say justin was here . justin : funny how that slipped your mind . sonny : mom , you were worried that this would go on and on and on forever , and you would n't be able to make a decision . i will not let that happen . no one leaves this room until a decision is made . lucas : what are you doing ? holding us hostage ? come on . justin : our son is right . we -- we do need to figure this out . adrienne : you mean i need to make a decision . justin : maybe we can help you . i propose that lucas and i take turns laying out our cases . explaining why you 'd be better off with him or me . lucas : oh , you mean like a trial . justin : more or less . adrienne : that 's a ridiculous idea . justin : and i realize that this format puts lucas at a considerable disadvantage . lucas : mm , i 'm not afraid of your fancy lawyering skills , kiriakis . i have facts on my side . adrienne and i know what we have . justin : beautiful . then you have nothing to worry about . lucas : no , i do n't . adrienne : hey , wait , do i get a say in this ? justin : of course you do , sweetheart . your voice is all that matters . lucas : and the sooner you make your choice , the sooner we could get out of here . jennifer : abigail ? abigail ? where are you ? andré : whoa . [ chuckles ] what a pleasant surprise . i did n't expect you to be out and about . abigail : well , i - i was just leaving . andré : you do n't have to lie to me . i know you 've been staying with your mother , having dinner . i 'm just curious . when did you think you were going to share the plans with the man that helped fake your death ? chad : i wish i could talk to her . i mean , she always saw both sides of a dilemma . she had the best advice . kate : well , you do n't need advice . you 're the real reason that brad bush made such a huge investment in dimera . chad : that was gabi . kate : gabi ? chad : yeah , gabi . i expanded her role . you know what , you should have seen her at that symphony . she was -- i mean , she -- she -- she charmed the wallet right out of brad bush 's pocket . and when vicky tried to hit on me , she stepped in . she put her in her place without jeopardizing the deal . you know , the -- the way she made me feel was ... keeping me in line , making me laugh . i never thought i could have that much fun sucking up to an investor . i mean ... kate : [ chuckles ] wow . that sounds pretty wonderful . so , what 's , um , what 's this dilemma that you want to talk about ? chad : eh , nothing . it 's -- it 's personal . kate : oh , come on . seriously ? you do n't think that i do n't know your dilemma is gabi ? jj : when she came back into my life , we were both struggling . and i saved her life , but she saved me in all the ways that matter . i - i could tell you how special your sister is , but you know how strong and amazing she is . rafe : yeah , well maybe you should have thought about that when you were in miami . jj : that 's fair . rafe : mm - hmm . jj : after all the terrible things that she 's faced , she was still able to bring this lightness back into my life . what i hate most about what i did is that i 'm the one who hurt her this time . as much as i loved her , i 've now just become one more terrible thing to overcome . rafe : so what are you going to do about it now ? jj : be a better man . do right by gabi . treat her the way she deserves to be treated . and then pray that someday she will -- e new false lash look ? rafe : you brought that for me . that was so thoughtful of you . gabi : no . rafe : you know what ? i 'm just going to take it and i 'm going to enjoy it in the other room , and you know where to find me if you need me . jj : how long where you standing there ? gabi : long enough . jj : you did n't run away when you saw me this time . gabi : not yet . jj : i know that you 're mad . and i understand 'cause you have every right to be . gabi : no , i 'm not . i 'm not mad , jj . [ chuckles ] i , uh , i could get over being mad . you know , throw a couple of dishes , hit a pillow , go on a long run . i ... i 'm devastated . jj , you -- you broke my heart , and i ca n't -- i ca n't get over that . abigail : [ sighs ] look , i - i have n't told my mom that you were involved . or that grandma laura was the one that hid me . andré : no , that would be a rather sticky situation for all of us . abigail : i was just -- i was so sure that i was never going to be back here again , and now -- now grandma laura has made me well and -- andré : no . i - i could n't be more happier that you are well . and now that you are , do n't you think it 's time for you to reveal yourself to your husband , and show chad that you 're alive ? abigail : no . i ca n't do that . andré : and why is that ? abigail : because he 's moved on with gabi now . kate : so you have developed feelings for abigail 's best friend ? chad : no , there is nothing going on between me and gabi . kate : [ chuckles ] okay . please , really ? you think that i do n't see the symptoms ? chad : okay , fine . let 's just pretend . we 'll say -- look , we 'll pretend that there is something going on . that -- that you 're right . kate : oh , okay . we 'll pretend . chad : mm - hmm . in that matter , we 've worked it out . we figured it out . kate : you know that i think of you as a son . now a lot of people would say that 's a curse because i do tend to get overly involved in my children 's lives . chad : yeah , you do . kate : it could be said . [ sighs ] but the truth is i just want them to be happy . i want you to be happy . i have to say though , my children , and i 'll include myself in this , always pick the wrong person . and if you do n't believe that , just give lucas a call . adrienne : a coin flip , really ? lucas : a coin flip is ridiculous . justin : i 've got a coin right here . lucas : absolutely ridiculous . rock , paper , scissors . justin : oh . adrienne : oh , really . justin : you got it . lucas : paper covers rock every time . i win . proceed , counselor . justin : happy to . maybe when i 'm done , you wo n't even need to say anything because she 'll already made her decision . lucas : yeah , she already chose me . adrienne : you know what ? can we just get on with this , please ? justin : mm - hmm , okay . let me just say that i 'm not gon na stand here and bash lucas on his wedding day . lucas : oh , yeah , you would n't want to do that , would you ? justin : because it 's not about him . it 's about us . about what we 've shared . lucas : oh , this is going to be good , here we go . justin : adrienne , i know you better than anyone in the world . maybe even better than you know yourself . i know that when you eat chocolate chip ice cream , you always dig for those chips first . and how you refuse to use a fork in a chinese restaurant , even though your chopstick skills are disastrous at best . lucas : hey , hey , hey , no touching , no touching . justin : all i was going to say was i also know how you like having your shoulders rubbed , even though you 're kinda ticklish . sometimes your elbows tend to swing , and it can be challenging . and i know how the sunlight looks on your hair first thing in the morning . and in the darkness , your eyes , how they twinkle . and you know what else i know ? that my life did not begin till i met you . and i love you more today than the day we met . and i also know you 're scared . and you have a right to be . you 're afraid that i 'm going to hurt you again , but i promise that i will love you and be faithful to you every day for the rest of your life . this choice is about your heart . and i know your heart is telling you that you belong with me . that you 've always belonged with me . lucas : you know , there are a lot of people i know that would be intimidated to follow a speech like that . justin does talk a good game . but i do n't need a law degree to tell you how i feel and why we should be together . now after justin barged in and broke up our wedding , i went to the pub , and i stared at a drink for a long time . when i was at the bar and i was thinking , i was thinking about you and justin and your relationship and your history together . it 's not much different than being an alcoholic . justin : objection . adrienne : overruled . let him speak . lucas : i know because i was addicted to sami for a long time . and in the beginning , it seems great . it 's exciting , it 's fun , it 's even intoxicating . but then you realize that he 's just gon na hurt you again . and you think maybe he wo n't . you know , maybe this time will be different , but it never is . i know that you and justin have history . there 's nothing i can do about that , but we do n't look back . we never will . justin may be your past , but , adrienne , i 'm your future . adrienne : [ sobbing ] jj : i hate that i 've caused you this much pain . if we had n't just lost my sister , and if i was thinking clearly -- gabi : jj , i do n't -- i do n't want any excuses . jj : you 're right . i ca n't change what i did . all i can do is tell you that i 'm sorry . and ask for your forgiveness . all i 'm asking for is another chance . gabi : i know . jj : please , gabi . give us another chance . chad : damn , she just left him at the altar ? kate : well , i know . you would think that he would 've learned something after a decade or so with sami , but like i said , my kids , bless them , the pick the wrong person over and over again . chad : wait , so does that mean you think gabi 's wrong for me ? kate : do you really want to know what i think ? chad : yea -- uh , yes . yeah , call me crazy , i do . kate : maybe she 's wrong for you . how would i know ? but what i do know is that when you were telling me about how she helped close the deal , you smiled in a way that i have n't seen you smile since abigail disappeared . gabi has sparked something in you . ca n't deny that . chad : but abigail ? kate : your wife died , but you did n't . and you 're gon na treasure the memories of her forever . and you 'll always have thomas , who will remind you of her . but if you love a ghost , you end up becoming one . now , if gabi 's the one who is going to bring you back to the living , then i 'm on board for that . chad : why does it still feel like i 'm betraying abby ? kate : because you loved her . but she 's gone , chad . and she 's not coming back . andré : i 'm aware of the flirtation between chad and gabi . abigail : then why did n't you tell me ? andré : because it does n't mean anything . what they -- what those two have can not be compared to what you and chad have shared . abigail : are you sure about that ? andré : [ scoffs ] you 're the love of his life , the mother of his baby . if you were to present yourself to him now , he would dismiss her just like that . is n't it time for you to reclaim your life ? go to your husband . abigail : i want that . i want that more than anything . andré : then what are you waiting for ? go to him . abigail : you 're right . you 're so right , yeah . i -- it 's time . it 's time for me to go to chad . adrienne : [ gasps ] [ breathing heavily ] i ca -- i ca -- i ca n't choose . i do n't know how , sonny . i love them both . sonny : look , this is n't the way it works . they need answers . you need an answer , mom . adrienne : no , what i need is fresh air . sonny : no , what i -- no . you are not getting past me without a decision . so get your butt back in there and you get comfortable . 'cause it looks like you three are going to be spending the night together . adrienne : [ sighs ] [ soft music ] gabi : i , uh , i hear what you 're saying . i even -- i even believe you mean it . i just want to trust that -- that you 're never , ever going to make me feel like this again . jj : i swear i wo n't . it 's practically a miracle that we 're together in the first place . when we first met , we were so lost . but you brought me back . we brought each other back . it may not be like it was , but it can be great again . i know it . i love you . [ soft music ] chad : hey , hey , hey , hey . you know what , little man ? i 'm going to give you some advice . stay the same age . do n't get older . things just get complicated and weird . andré : now we 'll go back to the mansion and -- no , it 's fate , it 's fate . now this is the time . go to him . go to my brother now . give him purpose to live .

[ somber piano music ] chad : you are never gon na lose me again . abigail : it just feels really dangerous . you know , with stefano , it 's like you dip one toe in , the next thing you know you 're drowning . chad : i 've been to the dark side of being a dimera . i 'm not going to go back there . okay ? it 's part of the reason i turned the other cheek with stefan , and since he died i 've been watching gabi 's moves as ceo and i do n't like the direction she 's taken the company . abigail : no , neither do i , she 's entitled and she 's unqualified . chad : yeah , but it 's not just about business . she has hurt so many people that i care about , especially you . and now she is lording her power over us like she was the one that was wrong . i 'm not going to stand by and take it anymore . i need to take back what is ours . abigail : i understand that , chad , but do you honestly think you can do that without losing yourself ? chad : i do . as long as i have you in my corner . abigail : [ scoffs ] you 're always going to have me in your corner . all right . so if and when we meet stefano -- chad : well , no , you 're not going to come to that meeting with stefano . abigail : um , excuse me ? says who ? gina : yes . of course i understand . you trust your son , steffy , but chadwick 's wife on the other hand is another matter . we must be careful with her . i mean , imagine the headlines . if abigail were to go behind her husband 's back and expose you ? hmm . sarah : eli , of course it 's okay for you to help with the search . i 'm just -- i 'm really grateful that you want to . eli : yeah , glad to hear it . look , have you heard from the kidnappers ? have they made any demands , maybe asked for money ? sarah : no . xander 's at the mansion waiting , just in case any ransom calls come in , but i have n't heard from him yet . nicole : answer me . [ phone beeps ] are you involved in this kidnapping ? you have experience in this area . xander : are you insane ? you know how i feel about sarah , how could i possibly be involved in this ? nicole : because i know you . for a shot , miserable time , i was married to you . xander : i 've come a long way since then . nicole : oh yeah , you sure have . you 're ceo of titan . a job you always wanted but victor would never give you because he thought you were a total moron . and it makes me wonder how you managed to change his mind . xander : well do n't strain your brain , sweetheart . it 's called hard work . nicole : try dirty work . victor would never give you a top job at his company if he did n't want you to do something for him . something bad . this was my biggest fear , keeping my mouth shut while you raised eric 's baby . i was terrified that you would do something to hurt her ! xander : you have some nerve , giving me the holier - than - thou treatment , pretending you care about mackenzie . nicole : i do care . xander : oh please . all this time you 've had no problem keeping eric in the dark . he has no idea about his baby , because it meant that you two could keep playing house , giving your daughter a father , while i stepped out and raised that little girl . will : someone kidnapped sarah 's baby ? ben : and i know who did it . will : [ stammers ] what does this have to do with jordan ? i do n't -- i 'm not -- i 'm not seeing a connection . ben : all right , long story short , victor is responsible for my sister 's murder , but he did n't do the deed himself , will . ciara and i think xander killed jordan on victor 's orders . will : and then let you take the rap . ben : yeah . and i made the mistake of sharing that theory with my father . will : what did clyde do ? ben : he had someone on the outside , this dirtbag ray kidnapped sarah and xander 's baby daughter , and he told xander that he 's never going to see her again unless he sends a full , written confession to the police . will : you 're saying that clyde had one of his men kidnap my cousin 's baby . ben : yes , but nobody knows that my father 's behind it , because he 's in here sending anonymous texts to xander managing it all from inside here . will : ben , if this is true , you need to stop it now . ben : will , i already tried to do that ; it 's too late . look , i told my father , as soon as he got that confession out of xander he needed to give that baby back . he wo n't do it . will : why not ? ben : because right now he 's using little mickey as his way to get out of here . will : okay , that 's it then , we have to tell the warden . ben : no , no , we ca n't do that ; sit , sit . my dad has eyes and ears all over this place . if that word gets back to him , he 's going to get word back to ray , and that baby may never come home again . ciara : shh , there you go . okay , she should be asleep for a while . ray : you 're a life saver . this kid 's been driving me nuts . tried everything i could to get it to shut up . nothing worked . ciara : yeah well , i 'm pretty good with kids . ray : yeah . i bet you 're good at a lot of things . you got a name ?
