your life ... is right over there . all you have to do is reach out and take it back . abigail : i think maybe you 're right . chad : hey . i 'm glad i got your text . gabi : i have to talk to you . chad : okay , here , sit . i actually have to talk to you too . sonny : [ laughs ] what are you doing with that stuff ?

valerie : [ laughs ] i have a very nice little place i share with the ficus tree i 'm trying to keep alive . abe : [ laughs ] so that 's it ? just you and your ficus tree ? valerie : i would like a dog . i 'm crazy about pugs . but with my schedule , it just would n't be fair . abe : you work a lot of hours ? valerie : yes , but it 's very rewarding work . abe : you know , you mentioned the head of your department . do the two of you have a good relationship ? valerie : i 'm so tired of talking about me . i want to hear about you . how 'd you get to be the mayor ? abe : well , i was commissioner of police and i was approached about running . so i went for it . it 's actually round two for me . valerie : wow . abe : i just wish the job did n't take so much of my time . i feel like i 'm not there for theo as much as i should be . i apologize for the way he acted tonight . valerie : oh , listen . he 's very protective of you . i get it ; i think it 's sweet . abe : i think i told you that he 's on the spectrum . he 's very high functioning , but his thinking can be pretty concrete . valerie : that aside , any kid in his situation would have his guard up about me . my son would probably act the same way . abe : you told me you have a ficus tree and you never told me you have a son ? valerie : well , i was n't trying to keep it from you . it just never came up . abe : you 're not with his father ? valerie : well , he has n't been in the picture for a lot of years . abe : you know , after lexie died , i found out how hard it is being a single parent . it 's not impossible . and it is so worth the effort . valerie : i 'll drink to that . steve : there you are . paul : hey . thanks for meeting me out tonight . i really did n't want to investigate eduardo hernandez by myself . steve : no thanks necessary . paul : and i did n't want my in on it . he and eduardo , they go way back . steve : yeah , they do . i 'd imagine it 'd be hard for your dad to be objective about him . now i do n't know what hernandez is into these days , but anything 's got ta be better than killing people for a living . paul : yeah , but that does n't mean that he 's squeaky clean . i mean , it 's kind of interesting that he 's not telling deimos kiriakis what he 's shipping . steve : definitely a red flag . paul : or maybe prove that he 's on the up and up . steve : either way , we got a job to do . pau : what 's in the bag ? steve : a surprise . let 's do it . gabi : hey , sleepy buddy . that 's decaf , right ? chad : so what -- what made you change your mind ? gabi : well , i , uh ... i went over to the police station . and i heard jj tell rafe how bad he feels about everything and how much he loves me and how he 's not gon na give up on us . i do n't know . it got to me . and then rafe left us alone and jj , he begged me that he 's gon na do whatever it takes to make it up to me , and that he 's never gon na make me feel this way again . i do n't know . chad : sure . you believe him ? 'cause if he does it again , then he 's gon na have to deal with ... with me . so if that 's is what you want ... gabi : i do . i mean , you know , you were the one that said , why ... why ruin a great friendship ? chad : [ indistinct ] gabi : i know abigail 's the only person you 'll ever really love . chad : you do n't have to -- gabi : that kiss was ... chad : let 's just ... not overanalyze it . gabi : yeah . chad : we 're good . gabi : yeah , we 're still friends ? chad : yeah , sure . gabi : good . glad we 're both on the same page . abigail : chad does n't love me anymore . he wants gabi now . andre : but that 's not true . abigail : i made his life hell for months . and then i let him believe that i was dead , but you -- you want me to walk up to him tonight and say , `` hey , guess what ? `` you know what that would do ? it would ruin him for the second time . you know , maybe ... maybe if he had n't found someone else ... andre : i keep telling you . , you do n't know that . abigail : i have loved that man for years . i know him . and i saw the way he looked when gabi walked in . it 's too late . you know , maybe -- maybe if he had been alone or something , there could have been a chance for us , but not now . andre : you do n't have to make a decision tonight . you know , even ... if chad was attracted to gabi , that 's because he thinks you 're dead . you 're the love of his life . i know that for a fact . and how about thomas ? even if it did n't work out between you and chad , does n't thomas have a right to grow up with his mother by his side to guide him ? is n't he ... is n't he worth reclaiming your life ? claire : there you are . we 've been looking all over for you . theo : well , i went for a walk . i needed to think . all right , look , that valerie , she 's playing my dad . ciara : when she explained why she told the guy that she was in new york , it sounded like the truth . claire : no , no , theo 's right . she 's definitely up to something . ciara : why do you think that ? claire : well , why would she have to lie to her boss about skipping some dumb lecture to help take care of theo 's dad ? you know , what boss is gon na be mad about that ? theo : that 's exactly what i think . claire : yeah , she probably was n't even talking to her boss . theo : right . claire : really wish i knew who was on the other end of that phone call . theo : i mean , i bet we can find out . ciara : theo , you heard your dad . he wants you to leave valerie alone . claire : hey , no . he can be nice to valerie , and we can still get the goods on her . my grandfather and my uncle paul would know exactly how to do it . ciara : theo , if you get caught , you could really screw things up with your dad . valerie 's an old friend . and besides , he 's not the kind of guy that gets conned by people . he was a cop . he 's the freaking mayor . claire : hey , ciara , even really smart dudes can be total morons about women . you know what i think that we should do first ? i think that we should go online and find out everything we can about the good doctor . theo : you 're right . claire : yeah . and then if we find enough dirt on shady val , your dad will have to believe us . shawn : what are you talking about , claire ? abigail : you 're right . i have to do -- i have to do what 's best for thomas . no matter what . andre : what 's best for thomas is you . abigail : i have to go . i think my mom is probably really worried about me . andre : yes , go home . you get some rest . oh , and i have something for you . this phone is not traceable . you call me -- whatever it may be . you call me if you change your action , yes ? abigail : why are you being so nice to me ? andre : you 're the only family i have left . are you gon na stay in salem ? abigail : [ stammering ] for my mother 's sake . yeah , i think i have to . just for now , anyway . gabi : you know , uh , if i had n't grabbed you and kissed you in front of mrs. vicky bush to , you know , throw her off track , it would n't even have occurred to either one of us that -- that we were more than friends . chad : sure . so are you gon na , um , you gon na continue to work for me ? gabi : i 'd like to . now that everything 's all cleared up . [ laughs ] i , uh , i should -- i should head out , 'cause have to go pick up arianna from the babysitter and still get milk on the way home . chad : better get going . gabi : yeah . thanks for the coffee . bye , sweet boy . thank you for being really understanding and happy thanksgiving . chad : happy thanksgiving . ciara : so you 're gon na go see mom tomorrow ? shawn : yeah . i told the guy at statesville that i 'm not leaving there until i 've seen her and i have spoken to her . ciara : oh , good . she must be really scared . shawn : hey . do n't worry , kid . she 's strong . she knows how to handle herself . and rafe and i are gon na do everything that we can to make sure she gets out of there soon . listen , do you guys mind , theo , if i have a word alone with claire ? theo : yeah , yeah , no problem . shawn : thanks . claire : it 's really great that you get to see grandma . shawn : so are you gon na tell me what i walked in on here ? you trying to dig up dirt on somebody ? claire : no , no , i 'm not . theo 's just getting a really bad vibe off of the woman that abe is having dinner with tonight . shawn : a bad vibe ? claire : yes ! he 's already caught her in a huge lie . he 's sure that she 's up to something . shawn : listen , claire , i know you want to help , but you need to stay out of abe 's personal life . i thought you were raised better than that . claire : hey , dad , i 'm sorry -- shawn : listen , if theo wants to get involved in his dad 's business , then that is his problem . i mean it , claire . stay out of it . ciara : can i say something ? theo : i know what you 're gon na say . ciara : valerie has a career in dc . she 's not gon na be here long enough to hurt your dad . and you could really screw things up with him . okay , i 'll stop talking to him about valerie . ciara : she saved his life . and she seems like a nice lady . theo : well , claire does n't think so . ciara : claire does n't have a clue . okay , i love her , but this is just , like fun and games to her . it 's your life . and look . i know that you got really freaked out when your dad was hurt , but do n't let that make you do something else that you wish you had n't done . theo : something else ? ciara : like when you took your dad 's gun and went after clyde weston ? i 'm just saying . do n't let claire talk you into anything . theo : she 's not -- i mean , i can make up my own mind ! sonny : there would n't be a sandwich in that bag , would there ? chad : there would . sonny : you 're a life saver . thank you . chad : why do n't you shoot it to me straight and tell me why you 're camped outside in the hallway of the salem inn at this time of night ? sonny : just keep your voice down , hand over the sandwich . chad : okay , well , why do n't you tell me or i 'm gon na throw it in the dumpster ! sonny : shh ! okay , all right . for lucas 's sake , i told my parents to stop playing games and figure out what they really want . chad : how do you think that 's gon na work out ? sonny : to be honest , i have n't heard anything for a while , so they 're either sleeping or someone jumped out the window . chad : okay . sonny : how 's everything in your life ? chad : [ sighs ] tonight ? not so good . sonny : oh , okay . so that 's why you were willing to bring me beer and food and sit in the hallway in the middle of the night . let 's hear it . steve : no , no , no . a little help ? hey ! how 'bout a little help ? no ? yo , buddy . little help for a vet ?

[ scene_break ] bo : are you going to tell us what you think you know or not ? rex : i 'm just not sure you 're ready for it . roman : just say it , all right ? rex : okay . after a careful analysis of the facts -- what few we have -- i think there 's one thing that we can logically conclude . the person who is committing these murders is getting more and more cunning and yet more and more bold as each heinous act seems to send us a very clear message . they 're determined to never be caught , and they 'll stop at nothing to ensure that they are n't . roman : you said you had some kind of theory on who the next victim could be . rex : oh , it 's simple . it 's obviously the next person who threatens the killer . i believe any cop , especially who goes after them , will be signing his or her own death warrant , and if that is n't clear enough , i think the next victim could be bo or hope , or maybe even you , commander . [ scene_break ] victor : so there you have it , my dear . it seems that you 're all out of moves . once chloe is back , she and brady will be reunited , and you will be back in the gutter where you belong . brady : maybe granddad 's right . maybe i should call chloe .

daniel : here you go . anne : what do you think you 're doing ? you know very well you should n't be speaking to a potential witness before a hearing . i hope i do n't smell a little cover - up here . will : believe me when i say that i know all the sacrifices you made for us . sonny : do you ? will : mm - hmm . sonny : i waited so long for you . i gave you space so you could come to terms with being gay . i did n't push you , did i ? will : no , you did n't . you were just there for me . and i never could 've done that without you . sonny : but i know what it 's like to feel like you have to choose between the guy you love and someone else in your life . but when my mom tried to do it , look who i chose . will : i understand . sonny : you got gabi pregnant and you lied to me about it . i helped you cover up evidence in two criminal investigations . two . and look where i am . i am right here -- will : listen -- i know that . and i do n't take that for granted , and i do n't take you for granted . and you know that about me . but ari is not gon na be here . gabi 's taking her to new york . and if you 're not willing to come with me , then do you not at least see how you 're forcing me to make that choice . 'cause i 'm not gon na live away from my daughter . i absolutely will not . gabi : you worked hard for what ? what did you do ? nick : the offer that -- that you got from sparkle , i -- i arranged that . gabi : no . no , they saw my picture . they said that they liked my story . nick : i sent them that story . i sent it to all the big agencies . gabi : i did n't give you permission to do that , nick ! nick : i know , but i knew it was your dream , gabi , and i knew that you were n't gon na pursue it unless somebody else gave you a little -- a push . gabi : a push ? what ? nick : yeah . i mean , after all the things that will and sonny said to you , i knew that you needed a fresh start away from this town -- we both did . gabi : wait , what do you mean we both did ? nick : i got a job ... in new york , a really good one . gabi : what ? nick : yeah , i 'm leaving today . i already sent all my stuff . gabi : no , no , no . nick : so gabi , you have to take that job . because that 's -- i mean , how else are you and arianna and i gon na be together finally , the way that we always wanted ? gabi : oh , my god . what the hell is wrong with you ? abigail : [ laughing ] jennifer : [ gasps ] jj : surprise ! jennifer : hi ! ciara and allie , what are you doing here ? jj : i hope you 're ready to get your pilgrim on , 'cause we 're going to a party . abigail : the annual kids ' thanksgiving party is at club tbd . jennifer : [ gasps ] oh , my goodness , that 's right ! so you borrowed relatives so you could go . jj : correction -- so we could go . jennifer : okay . that sounds like fun . jj : i am coaching allie and ciara for the win in the turkey drawing contest . even though my supportive sister continues to remind me that i come in last every year . abigail : [ scoffs ] jennifer : [ laughing ] abigail : mom . they still look like alligators . right ? jennifer : sorry , honey . do n't pick on your brother . jj : see , i told you . just like old times . jennifer : hey , was this your idea , honey ? abigail : no , actually , it was all jj 's idea . jennifer : thank you . that 's a great idea . hey ! show me the pictures of your turkeys . i wan na see these . show me , show me .

[ sighs ] gabi : thank you for understanding . nick : yeah . so i guess i 'll give you two choices . i mean , one is you take the job offer and you move to new york with me and arianna , and we can be a family together , right ? or option number two is you go to prison for what you did to melanie . daniel : yeah , and then put it on ... jennifer : i know that you 're trying to help , but please do n't engage daniel . arguing with him is not gon na accomplish anything . okay , you have to go before the judge again soon . i do n't want you to do anything that 's gon na jeopardize your freedom . jj : i wo n't , mom . i just really hate the way things are . and i wish that there was something i could do to help . you know what , i think i 'm gon na take off for a while . i 'm gon na put some space between me and daniel . i 'll be back for dinner , okay ? jennifer : okay . yeah . love you . jj : love you too . daniel : parker , we should get going , buddy , okay ? ciara : but you just got here . hope : hey , what 's going on ? ciara : we want parker to come to dinner with us . hope : oh . ciara : but his dad said they have to leave . allie : aunt jennifer , you want them to come too , do n't you ? gabi : no , no , you would n't do that , you would n't send me to prison . nick : i do n't want to , gabi , but if i do n't have a choice ... gabi : arianna needs me . nick : then do the right thing . come with me to new york . just come with me . let us be a family together . i mean , gabi , i 've got it all planned out . you just -- you need to trust me the way you always did . let us be happy together . gabi : how can we be happy when you 're blackmailing me ? nick : do you not understand ? you 're the one good thing that 's happened to me since i got out of prison . the one good thing . and i was good for you too . i mean , do n't you remember what we had together ? all of our plans and our hopes and our dreams together , gabi . i mean , even after everything went bad , we still could n't stay away from each other . you still wanted me . gabi : nick , that was sex . that was not love . nick : that was love . that was love , damn it . will : you 've got to get to sleep , sweetheart , otherwise you 're gon na be up all night and daddy 's gon na be up all night . oh , i love you so much . and i love sonny so much . but he does n't need me the way that you do . you know , i was thinking if your mom goes to new york to be a model , who 's gon na take care of you ? a nanny ? i do n't -- i do n't -- i mean , she 's probably gon na be better at nanny stuff than i will , but she 's not gon na be me . i do n't know . you 're too young to understand why i wo n't be around . and i ... i miss you when i 'm gone for a couple hours . i ca n't even imagine , like ... you 're my little girl .

[ scene_break ] cassie : we are so sorry , dad . rex : we never should have lied to you . cassie : we just did n't want to lose you . tony : you know , i appreciate the loyalty you have shown the dimera family , but in my heart , you 'll always be dimeras . mimi : um , sorry to interrupt . tony : uh ... mimi : rex , can i talk to you ? tony : yes , uh , would you excuse me ? mimi : are you okay ? rex : do n't say `` i told you so . `` mimi : but is n't it better now that people know ? rex : better ? for whom ? mimi : you do n't have to pretend anymore , rex . you 'll see . it 's going to be a huge relief , and just think how much better you 'd feel if you told everyone the whole truth .

melanie : okay , that 's fair . chad : mm - hmm . melanie : i should n't have brought up abigail . i 'm here because of the two of us . chad : and you were very clear about how you feel about us . and i respect that . so we 're both back in salem , new start , new adventures . i just became co - ceo of dimera enterprises . what 's up with you ?

clyde : oh , i 'd get better . i 'd do better . and then , i 'd lose control . marlena : and what does that look like ? clyde : i got a bad temper . when it gets the best of me , it 's ugly . it 's got ta stop . i 'm looking for practical advice . okay . we can figure out what triggers your anger and then sort out behaviors that will help you short circuit that automatic response . clyde : sounds like the ticket . marlena : tell me about your father . clyde : why ? marlena : that 's what the process is . clyde : i 'm in your hands . melanie : well , i thought i 'd become chief administrator at university hospital . of course , until i run for mayor . though i 'm not really sure what the residency requirements on that are . chad : great . melanie : stop it . a peon like myself , i 'll be lucky if get my job back at the hospital . chad : i , i did n't mean -- melanie : no , you did . and it 's fine . thank you . chad : for ?

clyde : well , when i slipped , i was thinking about how sexy you were . even drinking coffee you did n't like . you looked so hot . kate : all right , clyde , this is not helpful at all . not at all . what if rafe finds out ? clyde : what if ? you worried about rafe ? kate : i ca n't be ? clyde : you know , as sexy as you were that day , not near as hot as you storming through that door just now . it took all of my restraint . kate : i thought you did n't like restraint . theresa : hmm ... i bet he went looking for me . | melanie went to the dimera mansion and saw chad . they talked about abby . jordan talked to kate about how she brought clyde back to salem . kate admitted to jordan that she did to bring him to town . clyde talked to marlena about his past . jordan warned kate that she will regret bringing clyde to town . melanie and chad eventually talked about their past relationship before she walked out of the mansion . theresa tried her best to hit on paul . paul seemed interested in theresa . |

i mean , unless -- unless this was immaculate conception , you did n't do this on your own . so i am begging you to tell me . who did you have sex with before we met ? who is the father of this baby ? will : i am . i am the baby 's father . ej : so aside from the obvious , what exactly is it that 's bothering you ? chad : well , if you , uh , if you really wan na know , every time i turn around , i see the person who ruined my life . ej : gabi ? chad : i feel like i ca n't really move on until i return the favor . ej : you know , chad , sometimes the best medicine is revenge . chad : this girl . no , this -- ruined everything . ej : well , then do yourself a favor . stop ruminating about it , and make her pay . nick : why would you say you 're the baby 's father ? will : because i 'm the baby 's father . nick : is this some kind of a joke ? gabi : no , it 's true , nick . nick : but you 're ... you 're with sonny . you 're -- will : yes , i 'm gay . and , yes , i am with sonny . and , yes , gabi and i are having a baby . nick : well , then why wo -- i - i do n't get this . why would you be with him at all ? you -- i mean , you knew he was gay . gabi : yeah , i did , but something happened to us , and ... it was a mistake . we both know that . nick : i - i - i do n't get what 's going on here at all . at all . gabi : nick , it was -- it was after the explosions , and i was really upset . i was going crazy , and i needed somebody to talk to , and then i saw will . nick : and then -- and then you just decided to have sex ? gabi : we used to go out , nick . i mean , it was n't like it was the first time . and i did n't know he was gay then . nick : but you did this time . gabi : yeah . yeah , i did . nick : why would you take advantage of her like that ? gabi : no , nick , it was n't like that . will : yes , it was . i do n't know , i was struggling with some stuff . i do n't really have an excuse . gabi : look . will was n't the only one , okay ? i wanted it to happen too then . but we both realized that it was a mistake , and we moved on . and now we 're having this baby . sami : rafe , i think you should calm down . rafe : oh , i 'm very calm . calm . i 'm a little freaked out that you could n't tell me the truth , but i 'm calm . sami : you 're calm and freaking out at the same time ? i do n't think that 's possible . rafe : how could you not tell me this ? sami : like i said before , we were dealing with other things . it did n't seem like it was that important . it 's not that big a deal . rafe : oh . you know , if you tried to pull this game on anyone else , maybe it would work , but this is me . sami : cut it out , rafe . rafe : you know the only reason that ej is here is so he can be close to you . sami : okay , you know what , i have had it . i do n't care what ej 's agenda is . i am a grown woman , and i can make my own decisions , i 'll have you know . and i do n't appreciate the implication that i ca n't have a professional working relationship with ej if i choose . rafe : mm - hmm . oh , i hear you . ej always seems to get what he wants . and with you , it 's really only a matter of time , is n't it ? you can deny it all you want , but you 're only kidding yourself . brady : why do n't we try another route here ? okay ? if you let us see what 's on the tablet , i think that would be a good idea because obviously you do n't want marlena to access any of your files . it 's just fueling the fire right now . kristen : `` fueling the fire `` ? what does that even mean ? she broke into my room , took my personal property , and attacked me . and now i 'm expected to discuss what 's on my tablet ? what 's on your tablet , brady ? brady : well , if you have nothing to hide , then there 's no problem in -- kristen : i do n't , but it 's nobody 's business ! especially not hers . she broke in here , and now she 's supposed to get her way ? how is that fair ? in what world is that fair ? brady : i repeat , if you have nothing to hide , it 's not a big deal -- kristen : i do n't , please , i do n't . i just do n't want her to humiliate me anymore . brady : kristen , look at it this way . okay , if you let her see what 's on your tablet , and there 's nothing incriminating on it , you will be vindicated . that has to be satisfying to you , right ? kristen : okay . knock yourselves out . go ahead , look at it . brady : all right . marlena : i do n't believe this . sami : you just ca n't handle it , can you ? rafe : uh , ca n't handle what ? hmm ? your inability to tell the truth ? sami : how about your ability to continue to sabotage any progress that we make ? rafe : whoa , blowback , really ? now you 're putting this on me , huh ? sami : i am . yes , i am . because you know what 's happening here ? nothing , just corporate shuffling . rafe : corporate -- it 's ej ! you do n't see that he finagled his way in here ? oh , and by the way , you should have seen his face when he realized that i did n't know the truth . sami : oh . okay . now i get it . well , uh , i do n't have time for this -- this conversation . i have a deadline that i am dealing with . rafe : no , no , no , i know . you 're super busy . that 's why ej went to get caffeine , so you guys can pull an all - nighter . sami : stop it , okay ? please , just stop it . rafe : okay . i will . need water . thank you for your help with gabi . sami : you 're welcome . ej : is everything all right ? nick : why would n't you tell your brother at the clinic ? why would n't you tell him that will was the father , and why would n't you tell your mom ? will : they thought you were , and i was going to tell them , but then you came , and i did n't really get the chance . gabi : nick , i 'm in love with you , and will is in love with sonny . i have no idea how this is gon na play out , i really do n't . but this baby -- will : yeah , gabi , we 're gon na have to tell at least mom and rafe very soon . gabi : i know . nick : wait . you do n't have to do that . we do n't have to tell anybody the truth . not yet . john : you know , eric , it 's been kinda rough with -- for your mom having kristen back in town . eric : i can understand that . john : yeah , so can i. i just wish that she could stop expecting the worst , you know ? eric : well , have you ? i mean , a lot of the messy past with kristen involved you too . well , have you ? have you stopped expecting the worst ? i mean , i 'm getting the sense , from the way you 're talking , you 've forgiven kristen . kristen : thank you . eric : john ? is there something more that you 're not telling me ? brady : is this your journal ? kristen : yep . my personal journal . filled with my private thoughts . marlena : my god . kristen : my therapist has had me doing morning pages for years . could you please put that down ? marlena : `` marlena has proven to be a tough nut to crack . i get why , obviously , it was a -- it was a long time ago , but i hurt her deeply . and while i do n't think she 'd ever consider putting it behind her or believe that i 've come back for any reason other than to hurt her ... `` [ exhales ] `` john ... `` brady : [ clears throat ] `` john -- john is thankfully much more open to the possibility of forgiveness . i know neither one of them will ever completely trust me again , but i have no regrets about taking this journey and making this effort . `` marlena : this is all for show . it 's a setup . kristen : may i please have that back ? brady : yeah . kristen : you should be ashamed of yourself . you 're a doctor . what would your patients say if they knew that you 'd broken in here and attacked me and read my personal diary ? i have no choice but to call the police . brady : no , kr -- kristen , please do n't do that . brady : [ clears throat ] uh ... you should go . like , right now and not say another word . look , kristen , i know this is your call , okay ? and though i 'm hoping to hell you 're gon na help me out here , i 'm not gon na tell you what to do . kristen : you kind of just did . brady : three minutes . hear me out for three minutes . that 's all i 'm asking , please . i know this is upsetting for you . kristen : i feel like i was violated . brady : marlena needs more time . kristen : to what ? read the rest of my diary ? brady : no , to see what my dad has seen , that you have changed ... a lot . kristen : what about you ? do you think i 've changed ? sami : i 'm fine . and rafe will be fine , and everything is fine . ej : good . glad to hear it . we have a lot of work to be getting on with . we may have to work through dinner . uh , that is , if that 's okay with you . nick : i do n't think you should rush off and tell rafe and sami . will : okay , why not ? nick : because everything you guys have done so far has been done without a lot of thought , and you guys have changed your minds a lot . i mean , you were gon na rush off and have an abortion , and you were gon na go right along with it . will : yes , i supported gabi 's decision . nick : i get that . i do . but i think that the two of you and me now , we need to calm down , and we need to look at everything and figure it out before we tell people what 's up . you know what , you look -- you look really tired , babe . do you wan na ... gabi : yeah . i am tired . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na be right back , i 'm gon na go wash my face with water or something . nick : yeah , okay . i - i know you mean it when you say that this is gabi 's call , but i also know that this is really important to you . will : should n't it be ? nick : yeah . yeah . but i need you to give her some time with this . that 's all . between the hortons and the bradys and gabi 's family , once people find out , everyone 's gon na wan na weigh in . will : that 's true , but i do n't know , this is n't a secret , and i do n't want to keep it a -- nick : hey , slow down , okay ? do n't tell your mom . and that way , she wo n't tell rafe . will : so gabi needs , like , a day to think about it . nick : yeah . will : okay , yeah . that 's -- that 's fair . nick : great . um , there 's one other thing . will : okay . nick : you ca n't tell sonny either . john : you know , eric , i am more apt to believe that kristen has changed her life , but i am completely in tune with why marlena is having a rough time with it . eric : yeah . well , hey . listen , i better let you go and get back to the rectory . but if you see my mom before i do , will you give her my love ? john : you know i will . see ya . eric : good to see you . brady : you know what ? i do believe you 've changed . i do , but as important as it is for you to want to make a new start , kristen , and to find forgiveness and gain acceptance , i was hoping that you would extend yourself to others as well . kristen : i have . you know i 've tried to do that . brady : i know . i know you have , i 've seen you try . and i know this town has n't exactly welcomed you back with open arms . kristen : i did n't expect them to . was it wrong of me to hope that maybe people would see that i had changed and they 'd accept me for who i am now ? and marlena never will . it 's not gon na happen . brady : because it 's difficult for her for obvious reasons . she 's a good person . she -- she is very forgiving . i just -- ca n't you give her some slack ? kristen : oh , you mean like she 's done for me ? i 'm sorry . that was petty of me and small , and it 's exactly what i 've been fighting against . i 've been trying not to succumb to all the insults that i hear and the hurt . you know , i 'm trying so hard to be a bigger person . brady : well , here is your chance right now . you can prove it by not seeking revenge on marlena for what she did to you tonight . you know , higher ground has its perks . kristen : okay . i wo n't call the police . brady : thank you . kristen : but , brady , you have to promise me something . you got ta help me , okay ? i mean , protect me from marlena , so she does n't do something like this to me again . brady : i will . i promise . thank you . i do appreciate what you 're doing here . kristen : okay . i do , however , think that your father has a right to hear what happened . brady : no . no , do -- kr -- do n't call him . kristen : you said you were n't gon na tell me what to do , remember ? brady : yeah , but let -- why do n't you let marlena tell him ? kristen : eh ... brady : please , kristen , let me talk to marlena . i 'll make sure that this never happens again , okay ? but please , please , please do n't bring my dad into this . the guy 's been through enough turmoil . if he finds out what happened tonight , it 's gon na be very hurtful for him . i 'm -- i 'm begging you , leave him out of it , all right ? john : hi , you 've reached john black . please leave a message after the beep .

[ approaching footsteps ] mr. black ? i waited to make sure you came alone . when you inform on a dimera , a certain amount of risk involved . brady : you work for the family or something ? the less i say , the better it is for you . brady : but what about you ? well , after we talk , i 'll take the money you 're gon na give me and i 'll disappear . never have to worry about them again . so this is where she is . but you better hurry . she probably wo n't be there very long . brady : describe her to me . blonde hair , on the long side . about this tall . pretty -- or she used to be . brady : what do you mean , she used to be ? what does that mean ? she looks like hell . like she has n't changed her clothes or had a bath in days . she 's not in good shape either . all she does is keep mumbling your name . ej : father eric . so nice to see you . you 're not wearing your uniform . eric : i 'm here to see sami . ej : yes , apparently , everybody 's looking for her today . unfortunately , i have no idea where she is . sami : okay , here . gabi : how am i supposed to forget the look on nick 's face when he opened his eyes ? he was looking right at me . i ca n't forget that . kate : okay , look , look , okay , i know , i know this is new for you . this is a shock . this is a shock for us too , though . but we have to get through it . all right ? think of your baby . sami : right . think of arianna . i mean , she 's a part of me too . she 's a part of kate . and we both have children of our own that we have to worry about . and there is no way in hell i am going to prison because you refused to see who nick really was until he tried to rape you . gabi : he and i were n't together ! sami : you still slept with him again . yes , we know . gabi : that -- sami , that was -- that was a mistake . kate : okay , look , whatever . whatever happened , you did n't deserve what happened to you , okay ? you did n't bring that on you . honey , he lied to you . he lied to you . he tried to separate the baby from will and sonny so he could control you . sami : okay , when you would n't do what he wanted you to do , he got mean and he tried to rape you . as far as i 'm concerned , you know what happened here tonight ? he got what he deserved . it was justice . now let 's get the hell out of here . come on . [ sighs ] nicole : it 's on me . victor : you ? nicole : do n't worry . there 's nothing in that glass but single malt . victor : and what prompted this generosity ? nicole : remember when you thanked me for running kristen off the road ? that 's nothing compared to what you did . when it comes to being a real bastard , you have n't lost your touch . brady : this had better work out . then you better hurry . like i said , no telling how long she 's gon na be there . brady : the hell is that supposed to -- hope : what 's going on ? brady : nothing . nothing . i 'm getting some air , that 's all . hope : you hear the tone of my voice ? my cop voice . brady : okay . hope : the truth . brady : i got a lead on kristen , okay , and where she is . hope : from that character i just saw you -- brady : from that character , yeah , but -- it 's a long shot , but i got to check it out . hope : let me take a look at the address . this is as far on the wrong side of the tracks as you can get in salem ... which could be the perfect place for kristen to hide out . brady : that guy said that she 's just muttering my name and looks like hell -- what are you doing ? who are you calling ? hope : you 're not going there alone . i 'm not going without backup . this is detective brady . yeah , i need backup at the following address ... eric : well , since sami is n't here , i guess i 'll be on my way . ej : i 'll tell her you called . eric : you know , ej , sami and i have been keeping in touch pretty steadily since this whole thing blew up . ej : right , well , i 'm not surprised . eric : yeah , but she has n't mentioned your name , and i was just wondering why . ej : do you have any thoughts ? eric : is she protecting you ? ej : from what ? why would she do something like that ? eric : 'cause maybe you knew about this video before it was played at the church . ej : well , you know , samantha has a reason for everything she does . eric : i 'd be very interested in knowing what you think that reason is . kate : you need to sip that . gabi : no , i do n't know how sipping tea 's gon na help me get over murdering somebody . kate : shh , stop . you have to realize that you need to be very , very careful about what you say from now on . sami : you understand , right ? gabi : i know , i know , but i did n't want him dead . i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . we should have called the police . we should n't have handled this ourselves . kate : shh , i 'm not the only one who heard what happened . there were a lot of other people who saw you going after nick , and he was n't threatening you then . you 're the one who looked like you were out of control . gabi : i know , i know , i know . kate : and the last thing you said to him was that you wanted him out of your life . gabi : okay , but i did n't want him dead . sami : shh ! kate : i know that . sami knows that . but all those other people , who knows what they 'd make out of that ? gabi : oh , my gosh , i was supposed to be going to new york to be a model , and i had this future , and nick is dead , and i did it , and i think i should just go home . i 'm gon na go home . sami : i do n't know , you know . i do n't know if that 's the best idea right now . 3q i ca n't stand these spots . will : hey , out when her little head hit the pillow . lucas : she looked tired . you guys look a little beat yourselves . sonny : yeah , it 's been quite day . lucas : i 'll tell you what , wherever she is when she turns one , i 'm gon na be there . no matter what . will : well , i hope you do n't wait that long . sonny : [ chuckles ] lucas : good night , all right ? will : love you . lucas : good night . have a good one , okay ? will : good night . lucas : call me if you need anything at all . will : okay . lucas : all right . will : see you , dad . well , it is getting kind of late . sonny : i know . i wonder what 's taking gabi so long . kate : look , i think what you should do is come home with me tonight , and i 'm gon na call will , i 'll tell him that you need some time to think about the job . then in the morning , you tell him that you 've changed your mind . gabi : i have to go hold my baby . sami : you know what ? that 's a great idea . that 's a great idea , because you hold that beautiful , precious little girl , and you let it remind you of how important these stakes really are . okay ? here , you go home . gabi : okay , i 'll see you . i guess . sami : and call us if you need backup . oh , god . kate : that 's great . that 's great . she 's gon na go back to the apartment , and will and sonny are going to be waiting there . they 're gon na ask her about the job , about the move . do you think she 's gon na be able to handle that ? sami : i do n't know , okay ? i do n't know . but she has to . we have to . you still have nick 's cell phone , right ? kate : of course i do . sami : okay , what 's the plan with that ? kate : we need to make it appear that nick is alive and well and living in new york , at least for a while . um , i have the receipt too -- the things he sent to new york , so we 'll have those things claimed . there needs to be a paper trail that everything is normal . sami : normal ? the light from normal would take a million years to get to this situation . kate : that everything is appearing to be normal . all right ? otherwise we 're gon na be fitted for an orange jumpsuit . sami : again . victor : if you 're here to start something , nicole , i 'm really not in the mood . nicole : come on , victor . i 'm your biggest fan . victor : and what brought that about ? nicole : well , you conning marlena into ditching brady 's love tribute to his bride - to - be and substituting it with a video of kristen having sex with the priest who was about to marry them , so thank you very much , because now brady is free and that bitch is toast . victor : well , at least somebody understands that the end justifies the means . nicole : yeah , i 'm very pragmatic . i bought you that drink because you also got it through eric 's thick skull that i spoke the truth . victor : about what ? nicole : about the person who drugged and seduced him . because if you did n't do what you did , eric would have still thought it was me . victor : wait , wait , wait . you mean he actually was drugged ? nicole : yes . victor , i 'm the one who found him in his hotel room . he was totally out of it . victor : when i looked at the video , it seemed obvious that he was just a hypocrite who was ... nicole : having an affair with his step - brother 's fiancée ? you do n't know eric very well . victor : and now his life 's a shambles . eric : did you know about kristen 's plan ? were you keeping it to yourself ? were you trying to protect her ? ej : well , if you 'd asked me that in a court of law , i mean , i 'd have to plead the fifth . eric : wo n't even lie about it . maggie left victor . there 's a good chance i wo n't be a priest anymore , and your sister ruined her own life . ej : such a tragic trifecta . eric : and you could have stopped it all from happening , but you did n't . how do you sleep at night ? hope : wait , wait until backup gets here and we have the search warrant . brady : you know what ? i 'm not a cop . hope : brady -- police . brady : oh , my god . sami : okay , okay , i think we 're good . but we are gon na have to fix those . kate , look , i 'm worried about this . if we hire someone in new york to move all this stuff , they 're gon na know . you know , they 're gon na start suspecting that we 're up to something . kate : okay , well , that 's better than nick 's family thinking that it 's all just sitting there , is n't it ? sami : i guess . i did talk to hope , though . i would get the feeling that that family would n't be too surprised if nick just disappeared into the woodwork . kate : okay . well , that 's good . maybe this is all just gon na be all right . sami : [ scoffs ] yeah , did you say that nick gave you a flash drive ? did you look at it ? kate : no , i did n't . it 's work - related . i think he was just trying to cover all his bases . sami : we should probably check it out , just to be sure . kate : i will . sami : okay . kate : okay , i 'm gon na go get that drink . sami : me too -- hey , kate . look , i just need to hear you say it . why are you doing this ? kate : we 're doing this because gabi is the mother of will 's baby . sami : okay . okay , so this is for will . kate : for will . good night . 3q you disgust me . ej : oh , i sleep very well . thank you . eric : maybe now . i 'm not so sure about the future . ej : is that a threat , father ? eric : no . just a statement of fact . i know what makes you tick , ej . ej : ah , he is his mother 's son , hmm ? delving into people 's psyche . eric : you know , it 's not about money , it 's not about power . ej : well , i 'll be damned . eric : you know , your whole world revolves around sami now . i mean , you finally got what you deserve . ej : well , now that i do take issue with , father . may i call you father ? i do n't suppose it really matters now , does it ? see , i do n't think that anybody deserves anything . you want something , you work for it . you make it happen . if people got what they deserved , you would n't be in the situation you 're in now , would you ? i mean , for all of the noble , selfless , righteous things that you 've done -- you gave -- you gave your heart and soul to the lord . and look at where you find yourself . is that fair ? no , father , that is , in fact , a travesty . certainly not what you deserve . eric : this is n't about me , ej . it 's about you and sami . and one thing i do know , it 's not gon na last . it never does . ej : now , father , i did n't take you for a cynic . not that your opinion particularly matters to me , because it does n't , but ... i would like you to know that samantha and i are very deeply in love . and we have worked out how to weather our storms . we 'll be just fine . eric : well , you can delude yourself into believing whatever you want . you will lose her again . i know that like i know the sun is gon na rise tomorrow . you 're gon na lose because of the kind of man you are . ej : i suggest you take your prophecies and show yourself out , father . eric : it 's been a pleasure . brady : kristen . sami : why are there police here ? ej : come inside , i 'll explain . they were looking for information that would lead them to kristen . fortunately , they did not find anything . sami : oh . of course . ej : where have you been , young lady , hmm ? and why are you so much the worse for wear ? what happened ? sami : nothing . nowhere . i was just out . i -- what about the kids ? were the kids upset by the police ? ej : the kids were in bed when the police arrived . sami : oh , well , that 's good . ej : your brother was here , sans collar . sami : what ? ej : he was dressed up like one of us heathens . sami : oh , well , what did he want ? ej : wanted to see you , but he was satisfied with taking his frustration out on me . sami : did you get into it with my brother ? ej : he 's noticed that , when the two of you are together , my name never comes up . sami : you did n't tell him why , though ? ej : no , i did not . i did n't have to , though . he 'd already figured that out for himself . sami : great . ej : if it helps , i think it was very therapeutic for him . he was able to direct his anger right onto something . sami : oh , yeah , 'cause you 're such a giver . i 'm gon na call him . i 'll go see him tomorrow morning . ej : you ca n't see him tomorrow morning , darling . you have that thing with the kids . sami : what thing ? ej : the school . you promised to drive a whole busload of kids down to that ... sami : oh , my god , the museum . ej : natural history museum . yeah . all right , i 'm gon na go and kiss the kids good night , then i 'll retreat to my corner . you 're wearing those earrings i bought you for valentine 's day . be careful . i might think that 's a good sign . sami : [ exhales ] okay . oh , my god . both : hey . will : you do n't look so good . gabi : no . no , i 'm not so good . will : what happened ? gabi : i ... i have something to tell you both . brady , it 's you . i knew you 'd come . brady : oh , my god . what 's the matter ? are n't you glad to see me ? hope : she saw the picture in the paper . she 's so wasted , she thinks she 's kristen . i am kristen ! you still love me , do n't you , brady ?

[ edgy music ] ben : i had the phone in my hand , looking at tripp dead in the eyes . i was about to call the cops and have his ass arrested . ciara : why did n't you ? ben : claire talked me down . ciara : claire was there ? ben : mm - hmm . ciara : she was the voice of peace ? ben : she 's all about protecting tripp . ciara : of course she was . ben : she pointed out that he had a record . if i turned him in , he would have done some hard time . ciara : but ... you didn't . wow . that was incredibly cool of you . ben : ah , it 's not that cool . claire had to do a whole lot of talking -- too much . ciara : still . you could have gotten some justice . ben : yeah . maybe . i do n't know . the thing is , if i ratted out tripp , it would have just been mostly about punishing him . ciara : most people would think that 's enough . ben : i do n't wan na be most people . i do n't wan na hurt somebody just because they hurt me . the whole payback thing , hitting back harder -- it 's ... it 's my dad . there 's no way i 'm gon na be him . ciara : i wish more people could see this side of you . ben : yeah . maybe someday . one thing i have realized , though , is i ca n't expect someone to give me a second chance if i 'm not willing to do the same for someone else . hope : you completely vanished in the middle of representing ben -- is that why ? is he trying to kill you ? ted : it 's not ben . the lunatic i 'm afraid of is stefan dimera . kate : stefan helped me get rid of ted laurent . roman : leo stark 's attorney ? you told me you did n't know anything about his disappearance . kate : i lied . roman : ah . i guess this is progress , huh ? did stefan kill him ? kate : no . at least , i do n't think so . roman : katie , i need a better answer than that . kate : [ sighs ] well , according to stefan , ted has been relocated . roman : are you sure it was n't 6 feet under ? kate : ted is alive in a different location permanently , according to stefan . roman : all right . katie , as long as you 're on this honesty streak here ... why did you need ted laurent to disappear in the first place ? kate : because he was blackmailing me . [ dramatic chords ] kayla : you saw the love i have for my husband , and you used that to blackmail me . he could see again or not -- my choice . all i had to do was go against everything that i believe in to make that happen . and that sight that should have been a gift ? you turned it into a weapon . stefan : i did n't have anything to do with -- kayla : and what a power trip it must be for you , right ? just one push of a button , and you can blind steve or destroy all the evidence that you made him get . my husband could rot in prison because of you while you 're free to be the bastard that you are . stefan : would you just let me explain -- kayla : explain ? stefan : yes . kayla : explain ? [ laughs ] how can you live with yourself ? and now you have a daughter ... and you are responsible for that sweet soul . stefan : [ sighs ] i ... kayla : i just feel so sorry for that poor child , because how is she gon na survive having a monster for a father ? stefan : okay . kayla : oh , yeah , oh , yeah , go ahead , go ahead . make good on your threat . blind my husband and punish me for telling you what a miserable ... human being you are . will : how would you know about susan and roth if what you told us was a lie ? sonny : because i told him . leo : pillow talk . sonny : hardly . leo : sonny loved you -- i 'm sorry -- loves you so much . the hours i listened to him moan about your death and every single detail of your miraculous resurrection , including the crazy mom and mad scientist doctor ... followed up by how you dumped his ass for paul . is there any whipped cream ? will : i checked your pulse . leo : i would n't go into the medical field if i were you . despite sonny 's best effort , and you gave it everything you had , i was just unconscious . sonny : it was an accident . and you know it . leo : then why did n't you call the police ? why did you try to get rid of my body ? maybe because you knew how it would look if the guy who was suing you ended up dead in your house the night before the trial . sonny : the guy who 's a lying , cheating son of a bitch con artist ? leo : [ gasps ] words hurt . will : here 's one question . if you were alive all this time , where the hell have you been ? [ edgy music ] leo : i mean , i did n't expect to be welcomed back with open arms , but this hostility is overwhelming . however , the pinot ... excellent . very ... [ inhales ] burgundian . sonny : just answer the question . leo : hah , yah , ta - ta ! be careful ! we do n't want another stain on the rug . will : where have you been ? leo : well , since you 're so concerned ... i was recovering . that was a very serious head wound you gave me . luckily , at least for me , it was n't fatal . ca n't believe you attacked me like that . sonny : you attacked will . you were strangling him . leo : oh ... it 's not like he has n't been strangled before . some guys are into that . will : you 're sick . leo : i prefer twisted . it 's less judgy . sonny : i was trying to save will 's life . leo : and end mine . i thought we had a connection . sonny : you set me up ! you made me out to be a sexual predator . you were scamming me , my family , our company for millions of dollars . we had no connection . leo : my brains were pretty scrambled after you tried to kill me , but i do remember the sex being very , very hot . sonny : it was one time . and it was a mistake . leo : got me through the long , long months of my recovery . sonny : [ exhales ] will : so you just got back into town . leo : oh , no , no , no . i 've been here for a while . will : why did you wait so long to come see us ? leo : because it 's been so fun watching it play out . sonny : so you 've been spying on us . leo : no , no , watching . from a distance , but close enough to have a very good seat . and i saw how hard you two worked to do the right thing with paul . so admirable . you did your best to be good but ... we all know what bad boys you both can be . roman : huh . okay , uh ... blackmail . that 's a start . what for ? [ dark chords ] katie , this partnership of ours is n't gon na work well if i have to pull out every little single detail from this mess you got yourself into . why ... was ted laurent blackmailing you ? kate : what do you mean , ted is blackmailing you and sonny ? will : he has been threatening us . we tried to handle it ourselves , but it got worse . which is why i came to you for help . kate : this just does n't make any sense to me . what could he possibly be holding over your head ? ted : for starters ... they murdered my client . kate : ted was threatening to reveal that i was the one who put leo stark up to taking sonny to court for sexual harassment . roman : so ted was just as involved . the lawsuit was fraudulent . he 'd expose himself as well . kate : yes . but he was going to say that he did n't know about the fraud , that i was using him when in truth ... he was using me . hope : why are you so afraid of stefan ? ted : the maniac had me kidnapped . his people grabbed me from the salem inn back in august . they took me to some godforsaken island in the middle of nowhere . it took me months to escape because they locked me up . hope : but here you are . ted : and when stefan find out , i 'm a dead man . hope : that 's a very interesting story , counselor . ted : well ... it 's true . hope : maybe . what else are n't you telling me ? why ... would stefan have you kidnapped ? stefan : very good . keep me updated . [ phone beeps ] that was my head of security . he 'll get to the bottom of whoever co - opted steve 's bionic eye for espionage . kayla : or this was just some grand performance . stefan : [ sighs ] kayla , i swear to you , it was n't me , okay ? and i will do everything in my power to find the guilty party and clear steve 's name . kayla : and why would you do that ? ciara : anyone else would have had tripp 's ass thrown in jail , so ... i hope he appreciates what you did for him . ben : ca n't really blame the guy for wanting to protect you from me ... given my history . hell ... if i were your boyfriend , i 'd want to protect you from me too . ciara : but still , to frame an innocent man ? i mean , the evidence that he planted against you could have got you back into prison , and because of it , i ... ben : you what ? ciara : the can with your fingerprint on it ... it convinced me that you were guilty . that you did set that fire , and that everything that i thought about you was wrong . you became the guy everyone said that you were . the bad guy . [ sighs ] so i chose tripp . then i jumped right into bed with the good guy . ben : so ... you would n't have slept with tripp if that evidence had n't convinced you i was guilty ? this holiday , bring us your sister stefan : despite what you may think , i 'm not a monster . kayla : are you kidding me ? you forced me to spy on kate if i wanted my husband to see again . you gave me no choice . stefan : it was wrong ... and cruel , okay ? but in my grief , i could n't see that . kayla : oh , please . stefan : now , you hold on a minute . kate dimera murdered my mother , and as flawed as vivian was , she was the only person in this world who loved me unconditionally , and now she 's dead ... and i can never see her again . so i would be careful if i were you . leo : while you were busy with your little love triangle , i was right there in the shadows watching it all play out . oh , i almost forgot -- will , props on getting your memory back . will : you bastard . leo : will you give me a little credit for having some real feelings ? i thought it was beyond heartbreaking that just as you and sonny were about to get back together , paul was the one to take the fall . from a three - story window . sonny : of course you would enjoy someone else 's tragedy . leo : i was impressed , the way you tried to do the far better thing ... sacrificing your love for paul 's happiness . but paul apparently did n't want will 's sympathy , so he dumped you , freeing you up to be reunited with sonny at long last . cue the violins and the fireworks ... and the doves . sonny : get out . leo : [ exhales ] here 's the thing . the pitcher may be gone , but life has thrown you two another curve ball . ted : the man is unhinged . hope : stefan is certainly capable of doing ... exactly what you said he did . but he does n't grab random people off the street . man like him always has a motive . so what was his ? what was your connection ? did you work for the dimeras ? ted : no . someone ... someone put stefan up to it . [ tense music ] kate : you really would do it , would n't you ? you would let will go to prison for a crime he did n't commit . ted : you have the power to prevent that . are you gon na come up with the money ... or are you gon na let your grandson go to prison ? hope : ted . if you do n't tell me who wanted you kidnapped , i 'm not helping you . ted : [ scoffs / sighs ] it was ... it was kate dimera . [ heavy chords ] kate : so , uh , ted and i got romantically involved . he was pretty persistent . i mean , i resisted , but ... after everything that went on with andre and his death ... roman : you needed to feel wanted again . kate : mmm . it was more of a connection that was unexpected . and i thought it was real . but it wasn't . he was definitely not the man i thought he was . roman : and then he blackmailed you . kate : yep . ciara : tripp and i slept together because of a lie . ben : he was n't lying about how he felt about you . ciara : no , but ... it made me rethink everything . and then tripp actually thought that i only slept with him because you were no longer an option . like , he actually is convinced that i settled for him , which is completely ridiculous . it 's obviously ridiculous . ben : because you love him . or because he 's the safe choice ? ciara : i just got the tenth degree from my mom , and ... i wanted to clear my head , but ... things do n't seem so clear anymore . ben : i do n't wan na push you . the last thing i want to do is make you feel uncomfortable . god knows i 've done that enough already . you know how i feel about you . ciara , nothing 's changed on my end . i know a lot 's changed on yours . so maybe now ... you can be honest with yourself about your feelings for me . ciara : i ... i might ... i might feel something more than ... more than friendship for you . ben : was that so hard ? ciara : but i do n't know what it means . i do n't know what it is . i do n't know if these feelings are new or ... or if they 're old and i just pushed them back because i wanted to commit to tripp or the only reason i committed to tripp was because being with him always seemed so -- ben : boring ? ciara : [ small laugh ] ben : normal . ciara : yeah . yeah , tripp is solid . from a well - respected family . everyone approves . but you ... my mom and everyone i know -- i hear their voices in my head , and they 're all telling me the same thing -- to run . to run as fast as i can and to never look back . ben : you 're not running . kayla : so i 'm supposed to feel sorry for you ? because you acted out of grief ? and what you did to me and my husband was any less of a crime ? [ scoffs ] although , i must say , your mother would be very proud of you . stefan : look , i know what people thought about vivian . she was no saint . but she was my mother . and she could be kind when she felt safe enough to show it . she would have loved charlotte . but now , because of kate dimera , she 'll never know my daughter . she 'll never hold her grandchild in her arms . do you understand ? roman : well , you sure do know how to pick 'em . stefano , clyde , eduardo , andre . kate : well , you know i like the bad boys . but you were an exception to that rule . roman : well , thank you for that but , uh , you know what ? i 'm not all that good and , uh , i sure as hell am not so good that i wo n't do whatever it takes to bring stefan down . and i think ted laurent is the key to that . hope : kate ? i did n't know you knew each other . ted : i , um , i did some legal work for her . our association ended badly . hope : badly enough that she 'd want you kidnapped ? ted : yes . and stefan did her dirty work . hope : stefan hates kate . he blames her for his mother 's death . so stefan would n't be doing kate any favors . what more are n't you telling me ? ted : i 'm reporting a crime . i want police protection . hope : let 's go back . why would kate want you gone ? were your fees too high , counselor ? ted : no , it was not about the bill . hope : then what was it about ? your association ended badly . what does that mean ? what happened ? answer me or we 're done . ted : okay . okay . i may have been ... i may have been blackmailing your grandson . [ dramatic chords ] will : for the last time , what do you want ? leo : you keep asking that . where is the gratitude ? are n't you even the tiniest bit grateful ? me being alive means my death is no longer hanging over your conscience . or yours . sonny : you know , i 'm starting to wish that you were dead all over again . leo : ooh ! there 's a thought . nobody knows i 'm here . if i 'm such a threat to your little happily ever after , why do n't you kill me all over again ? get rid of me for good . [ off - key notes ] stefan : i wanted justice for my mother 's murder , and i was willing to do anything to get it . but in my own desperation , i saw how desperate you were , and i took advantage of that to use you against kate . for that , i owe you an apology . and i sincerely hope i get the opportunity to apologize to steve as well . kayla : maybe you were motivated by love in a twisted dimera sort of way . but the damage is done , and i -- i 'm not sure we 'll ever recover . stefan : i 'll make it right . kayla : stefan . you 're a father now . and your daughter is gon na be watching everything you do . be the kind of man that that little girl can look up to . kate : do you think you could find another key to bringing down stefan ? roman : ted laurent is a direct line -- we pull that thread , and we can bring that bastard down . kate : yes , but it could implicate me , and there is nothing that stefan would like better than to bring me down with him . roman : i wo n't let that happen . kate ... what is it ? kate : there 's more that stefan has on me . roman : okay . all right , well , you know what ? it 's been a good start . you told me a lotta things i did n't know . so , uh , we can leave that for another day . but what i need from you today is to trust me and promise me that in this partnership you will tell me what i need to know when i need to know it . it 's the only way we can bring stefan to his knees . kate , it 's the only way i can keep you safe . do you think you can do that ? sonny : one more time . i was n't trying to kill you to get you out of the way . it was an accident . will : not that your idea is n't tempting , but you 're not worth the trouble . sonny : exactly . so why do n't i show you out so you can crawl back to whatever rock you were hiding under ? leo : well , as fun as this has been , this is n't a social call . you and i have unfinished business . sonny : the lawsuit was dismissed . so you can go back to being matthew cooper , the prostitute , or whatever name you 're going by these days . leo : no , no , i 'm quite happy being leo . and i 'm ready to pick up exactly where i left off . sonny : what does that mean ? leo : well , before will so rudely interrupted us , i proposed marriage , and you accepted . i 'm holding you to that , sonny . it 's time for you to make an honest man out of me . hope : you blackmailed will horton ? ted : and sonny kiriakis . hope : over what ? ted : it 's not important . i just want you to do your duty and protect me . stefan 's people are already looking for me . hope : then file an official police report . ted : no -- no offense , commissioner , but i can not trust my life with the belief that stefan dimera does n't have any friends inside the salem p.d. -- i can't . i need to do this quietly . hope : you 're asking me to ignore police procedure . why would i do that ? ted : because i can give you something in return . how about the evidence ... the evidence you need to put ben weston away for good ? ciara : i 'm sorry . i do n't think i can do this . i 'm starting to think i ca n't do this with anyone . that i 'm too broken to love or to be loved . ben : hey . look at me . ciara , look at me . i told you once before never apologize for who you are . you are the bravest , strongest person i have ever met in my life . when i found you on the road that day , your leg was shattered . but your heart ... your spirit were whole . ciara brady , you ... you have more fight in you than a bag full of bobcats . ciara : did you actually just say that ? ben : i 'm sorry . did i just say that ? i 'm sorry , it 's an ozark thing . um ... here 's the deal . if you 're too broken to love or be loved , what does that mean for someone like me ? ciara : i 'm sorry , i did n't -- ben : no , no , that 's all right . because as messed up as i am , i know there are far crazier people than me who do find love . so i 'm not giving up hope . and you ca n't either . i wo n't let you .

[ sighs ] and now ... i think i 've lost her . lexie : you have n't lost her , alex . you never had her in the first place . alex : you 're wrong . i 'm sure john has told you that marlena and i were -- are married . lexie : he told me that 's what you claim . alex : and it 's the truth . i 've shown him the evidence . he just does n't want to believe it . lexie : hmm . if you loved marlena so much , why did n't you come forward years ago ? alex : as i explained to john , when i finally found marlena again , she 'd already moved here to salem , she 'd married roman , they had children . i just did n't want to disrupt her life . lexie : how noble of you . [ chuckles ] this is such an incredible story . alex : you 're a part of that story . it was your phone call asking me to come here and consult with you to treat marlena . it 's what brought me here to salem . i had to come because i felt i was the only one who could really help her , and i felt that there was a chance , with my help , she would remember everything . lexie : meaning her life with you ? alex : yes , her life with me , her entire life , so that she would get her whole life back . now , i understand that you did n't agree with all of the methods i was using . lexie : no , i did n't . alex : because marlena 's case is a very unique , difficult one , i had to use all the tools available to me . they were working . they are still working . lexie : you mean she 's getting her memory back ? alex : yes . [ sighs ] i just ca n't believe she chose john . lexie : she told you that ? alex : not in so many words , but i 'm sure that 's what she 's telling him now . [ sighs ] that 's why i 'll be leaving salem soon . [ scene_break ] john : so what is it you want to tell me ? marlena : i 've made a decision . john : you 've decided who you want to be with ? marlena : yes -- belle ? john : hey , izzy . what is it , honey ? belle : it 's just hard to see her in pain like that and not be able to do anything to help her . marlena : you are holding her and you are talking to her and that does her more good than you could ever imagine . belle : does it ? marlena : it does . she knows that you are her mother . and she might not be fully conscious , but that is a bond that transcends everything . belle : [ chuckles ] marlena : you just have to trust yourself here . belle : i 'll try . [ sniffles ] marlena : mmm . she knows how much you love her . mmm . yes . you know a lot more than you think you do . belle : thank you . you and kate have been so encouraging and wonderful . thank you . philip : honey , we should head back in probably , okay ? thank you . come on ..

[ scene_break ] shawn d. : okay . i 've always been honest with you . a small part of me will always love belle just like a small part of you will always love rex . they were our first loves . there will always be a special place in our heart for them . but i also know that the both of us are ready to move on . mimi : thank you . because i felt like what we shared tonight was really special , so i just need to know . was it , you know , date sex or was it something more ? i mean , it 's probably not the most romantic thing for me to do to be so blunt about this . it 's actually probably a bad idea overall . shawn d. : no , no , i 'm glad that we 're talking about this . mimi : good . i 'm sorry . i just do n't have much experience . i mean , the only other guy i was ever with was rex . shawn d. : okay , well , i do n't have much experience either . mimi : okay , well , i just -- i do n't know how to be coy or subtle or whatever to get you to tell me how you 're feeling . shawn d. : you do n't have to . i already just said -- mimi : maybe i 'm just being stupid . i mean , i 'm being old mimi . i 'm just blurting it out and running off my mouth . can you just forget that i even asked ? i mean , you hear and you read about guys hating when girls pressure them about the future , but i think girls just think about the future more than guys do . i mean , i remember when i fell in love with you in high school . i had the biggest crush ever even though i knew that you were with belle . i would still practice writing my name -- `` mrs. shawn brady `` -- in my notebook . shawn d. : you were writing `` mrs. shawn brady `` ? mimi : oh , my god . i can not believe i just told you that . i 've never told anyone that in my life ! shawn d. : and why would you ? mimi : there i go . look , instead of just being here with you and enjoying one of the greatest nights of my life , i have ruined it all by pushing and analyzing and asking questions , but i think it 's just because i 'm scared because i 've been hurt , you know ? and nothing , like , this wonderful has ever happened to me before . and being here with you like this is just a dream come true , shawn . shawn d. : mimi , mimi ? mimi : what ? shawn d. : c - can you take a deep breath ? mimi : [ inhales deeply ] no . [ giggles ] shawn d. : okay , so , um , i was ready to answer your question way back at , `` was this just date sex or something more ? `` this was not casual for me . this meant a lot . and , actually , i 'm glad we went through this because there 's something i want to say to you . mimi : if you 're gon na tell me that you love me , do n't . [ scene_break ] frankie : all right , look , if the roads are still icy , maybe he pulled over . we did . and let 's face it , if the salt trucks had n't come along , we 'd still be out there . abby : but i told you the roads are fine now . frankie : the main roads , sure , but your dad was coming from ogden . salt trucks probably did n't make it out there yet . jennifer : so what do we do ? we just sit here and wait ? frankie : no , you do , i do n't . i 'm pretty sure i know the roads he 's taken . i 'm gon na look for him . jennifer : wait , frankie , that 's not really such a good idea . it 's dangerous out there for anyone . abby : we do n't want to have to worry about two people . frankie : thanks , but i 'll be fine . hey , i 've had a lifetime of driving tips from my brother the professional driver . just do me a favor and have the hot chocolate ready for us when we get back , okay ? jennifer : all right . your dad 's gon na be fine . frankie 's gon na track him down . he 's gon na bring him home . they 're gon na be back very soon . jack : oh ! oh ! [ scene_break ] lexie : so that 's it ? you came , you saw , and since you could n't conquer , you 've decided to just give up on marlena and leave salem ? alex : marlena 's made her choice . i have to respect that . i love her too much not to . lexie : oh , perhaps i misjudged you . i 'm sorry for what you 're going through . alex : lexie ? lexie : yeah ? alex : do you mind if i give you a little professional advice before i leave ? lexie : sure . alex : i think you need to deal with your feelings about detective kramer and abe . lexie : [ inhales deeply ] well , i 've been avoiding tek -- detective kramer . alex : have you been avoiding him because you do n't want to see him anymore , or have you been avoiding him because you want to avoid having to make a decision about which man you want to be with ? [ scene_break ] john : you do n't mean that . `` choose alex `` ? marlena : john , he 's my husband . john : if you were ever married . and that was years ago , and you spent most of your adult life not remembering any of it . the reality of your life is that you are the mother of my child , i am your husband , and you know in your heart that we belong together . and when we took that carriage ride and we danced on that terrace , you felt it right here in your heart . and you 're trying to tell me that you did n't ? now , i love you . and if you 're gon na walk away from me , you might as well rip my heart out and take my soul right along with you . i 'm asking you to reconsider your decision . you got to stay with me . [ scene_break ] kate : excuse me . man : yes . kate : i need to talk to a doctor and i was wondering -- do you know if there 's one available ? man : are you ill ? kate : no , actually , i 'm not . i just have a medical question . man : i just saw dr . carver in the trauma center . she might be on break . kate : yeah , i do n't want to disturb her . she has so much going on tonight . man : well , i 'm a med student . anything i could help you with ? kate : um , actually , yes . you probably could . you know , i was just -- what i was wondering -- if you have a parent who 's a certain blood type and their spouse is another blood type , is it possible that their children could have a completely different blood type ? man : yeah , yeah , it 's possible . kate : really ? man : sure . it happens all the time . `` o `` is recessive , so say you have a parent who 's `` b `` and the other parent is `` a. `` their child could actually be type `` o `` or `` a `` or `` b `` or `` ab `` depending on the genotypes . kate : `` depending on the genotypes . `` well , never mind that part . okay , great , thank you . i really appreciate that . man : no problem . kate : um , i 'm sorry , just one more time because i want to make sure i have this correct . um , so , if the father was an `` o `` positive and the mother was an `` a `` negative , that would mean that their child could be an `` ab `` negative , right ? man : why do you want to know ? [ scene_break ] shawn d. : you do n't want me to say that i love you ? mimi : no . shawn d. : then why were you going on and on about whether tonight was more important than date sex and what my real , true feelings are ? what difference does it make if you do n't want me to say that i love you ? mimi : just let me finish , okay ? shawn d. : okay , sorry . go ahead . mimi : i hope that you do tell me that you love me someday , just not on a night when i 've been practically pushing you to say it . shawn d. : that makes no sense . mimi : okay , well , let me explain it to you . shawn d. : oh , please , god , no , do n't . i mean , if you want to , you 're more than welcome , but not right now because there 's something i 'd like to say to you . mimi : hmm ? shawn d. : i think you 're wonderful .

's going after half the people in salem here because of instructions he 's receiving via a deck of tarot cards , and your source is celeste and her vibes . abe : there 's something more , john . john : and what would that be ? abe : that black onyx ring that kate found in e.j . 's apartment . john : now , that i thought -- abe : yeah , you thought that connected e.j . to the dimeras . well , you were more right than you know . celeste confirms that e.j . is a dimera . and his sole purpose for being in salem is to carry out his family 's mission and destroy all the brady 's . [ scene_break ] marlena : why are you so angry with john ? kate : e.j . is my business partner . i should have trusted him , but because of john 's unfounded suspicions , i ransacked his apartment . marlena : bo 's suspicious , too , you know . kate : i know he is , but the police department completely exonerated him . roman and abe went on television to announce the fact that the investigation is completely through . marlena : then you should feel relieved about that . kate : but e.j . knows . he knows that i searched his apartment . and thanks to john , our relationship is completely undermined . i even stole a ring from him . marlena : yes , i heard about that . john told me about that . john feels that ring connects e.j . to the dimeras . kate : it 's a class ring . it 's a class ring from england . it has nothing to do with the dimeras . marlena : are you sure ? kate : that 's what he told me . marlena : what if he lied ? what if you 're wrong about him ? [ scene_break ] john : so , what about you guys ? you think e.j . is a dimera ? i saw the press conference . you 'd think he won the nobel prize . abe : not our proudest moment . roman : but we 're not giving up , john . just our investigation has to go undercover now , which is exactly where you come in . john : roman , come on . what do you got ? you got pictures of a bunch of tarot cards and a black onyx ring and a psychic who , what , looks into her crystal ball and decides e.j . is a dimera ? roman : we got you , a dimera yourself . john : ahh , i get it . it takes one to know one . is that it ? well , roman , you should know yourself it does n't work that way . look , the dimera organization has been off everybody 's radar since tony went to prison . as far as stefano is concerned , everybody thinks he 's dead . abe : look , john , e.j . may or may not be a dimera , but we need you to help us find out . john : that 's funny , abraham , seeing as how you turned me down when i offered to help before . abe : john , listen to me . you 've been on the inside . nobody knows their operation like you do , and we need somebody to infiltrate to stop that plot before someone we care about is killed . john : so , you 're asking me to go to italy and what , muck around in the family swamp ? is that it ? abe : that 's one way to put it . so , what do you say ? will you do it ?

[ scene_break ] kate : i mean , i have seen stefano 's ring before , and , yes , it did bear a slight resemblance to it , but it 's in no way the same ring . i ca n't believe that i let john talk me into believing this . marlena : kate , you 're intelligent . i ca n't believe someone could persuade you about something that you did n't find credible . so , tell me , how close are you and e.j . ? kate : well , close . i mean -- i mean , we 've moved past being just business partners . we 're friends . we 're good friends . i mean , at least , we were before john forced me to spy on him . marlena : hey , wait a minute . hold on . john tells me that you volunteered to spy on him and he tried to talk you out of it . oh . i know what 's going on here . kate : what ? marlena : you 're sleeping with e.j . , are n't you ?

ej : probably the same reason you 're here . sami : we have a lot to talk about . ej : yeah . we do . sami : look , what we did was wrong -- really , really wrong . nicole : do you want to know why i 'm here ? quinn : please , enlighten me . nicole : i want to make sure that whatever you 're doing in this spa is legit . quinn : you have doubts about my integrity ? nicole : i doubt you have any integrity at all . and i just want to make sure that ej 's decision to fund this little new - age venture does n't come back and bit him in the ass . quinn : do n't think it will . we 're already turning a profit . nicole : congratulations . and i hope you recognize the insincerity in my voice just now . quinn : look , i 'm not here to cause any trouble . i just want to make people feel good . nicole : i bet . you should have that engraved on your towels . quinn : yeah , you may not require my services today , but i 'm sure you will soon enough . nicole : [ laughs ] wow . what does that mean ? quinn : oh , well , it 's no secret you and ej are getting closer again . i 'm sure that would have even the strongest of women looking for a safe place to hide . nicole : excuse me , but what do you know about my relationship with ej ? quinn : well , come on . let 's not pretend , sweetheart . i mean , i did leave town with your sister . she taught me all about your relationship with ej -- how you agreed to go another round with the man . i think someone really needs to step in and question your judgment . nicole : well , sweetheart , the day i decide that i need advice on my life from a low - rank criminal , i 'll make sure you 're the first one i call . carrie : okay , once john pled guilty to the charges against him , there was nothing more i could do . rafe : yeah , well , nobody blames you for that , carrie . we all know the decision john made was out of your hands . carrie : yeah , well , now this is about more than just getting him out of prison . rafe : what do you mean ? carrie : we need to convince the public once and for all that john was falsely accused and convicted so that we never have to deal with a situation like johnny 's disappearance ever again . rafe : you keep saying `` we . `` are you offering me a job here ? carrie : yes , i am . but there 's a catch -- i ca n't pay you . my firm 's already moved on to the next case , and now that this one is closed , they do not want to go back . rafe : i see . carrie : and i know that you need a job that pays real money . i get it -- you need to support your family , and it 's incredibly unfair of me to even ask you -- rafe : carrie ... stop . you had me when you called about the magazine , okay ? now , this is about family . that 's the most important thing to me . sami : for a split second this morning , i woke up , and i had convinced myself the whole thing was a horrible nightmare . and then it all came -- came rushing back to me -- everything , that what we did was ... real . ej : yeah ... it was . sami : [ sighs ] god . i do n't know how i let that happen . i mean , rafe was out there . he stood by me . he found my son . he brought my son back to me . and what was i doing ? i was here , betraying him in the worst possible way , with you . [ sighs ] ej : yes ... we did a terrible thing . but , samantha , there really is n't any point in dwelling on it . sami : what am i supposed to do ? ej : move on , my dear . put it behind you . sami : i ca n't just do that . ej : oh , yes , you can . sami : [ sighs ] johnny was at home , smiling and laughing and happy , and rafe put his arms around me and told me that everything -- that everything was gon na be okay , that the worst was over with . and all i could think about was that i was here with you . rafe loves me , and he was kind and -- and caring , and if he knew ... ej : ah , see , but he wo n't , will he ? sami : you just do n't get it . you do n't understand what yesterday meant to me . ej : yesterday was sex , right ? yesterday meant nothing . sami : it means everything to me . i did exactly what my mother did . i hated her for years for what she did . that night she slept with john changed my entire life , and i swore i would never -- i would never do that , i would never be a woman like her . and now i am exactly like her . ej : samantha , please , listen to me . you 're overreacting . nobody saw us . nobody has any idea of what happened between the two of us . sami : i know . i know what kind of person i am , and i know that rafe deserves better . he deserves better than me . carrie : and you do n't think sami will have a problem with this ? rafe : oh ... [ laughs ] look , we both know that sami has a complicated relationship with john and your mom . carrie : yeah , that 's an understatement . rafe : but this is about family , and i know what that means to her , and if there 's a way that i can try and help things out , i have to try . carrie : i am so relieved to hear you say that . rafe : well , yeah . and listen , i know the reason that john changed his plea to guilty was so that he could stop this insanity -- the insanity that led to the shooting , to johnny 's disappearance . and for him to do that to protect his family , completely selfless . carrie : thank you . i mean , that 's why i can not stop fighting for him , not after everything he 's done for us . but you still need to provide for your family , and if i ca n't pay you , then -- rafe : carrie , carrie , carrie ... stop . i will find a way to provide for my family and to help you with this case . you got my word . carrie : thank you . rafe : all right . carrie : um , okay . shall we get to work ? nicole : hey , wow , watch where you 're going . patti : i could say the same for you . nicole : you 're patti stanger . patti : you know my work ? nicole : well , everyone knows you 're the millionaire matchmaker , but , actually , we met before , at the dedication ceremony . patti : oh , that 's right -- ej dimera 's . i remember we had that interesting conversation -- `` mixing business with pleasure . `` nicole : yeah , i do n't really remember that -- there was a lot going on that night . patti : hmm . i 'm sure there was . nicole : well , it was great running into you . bye . patti : are n't you working for ej right now ? nicole : yes , uh , i 'm in charge of p.r . for his campaign for mayor . patti : [ chuckles ] nicole : what ? patti : nothing . it 's just that i know that he was quite taken with you . he could n't hide it , at least not from me . nicole : yeah , that 's not why he offered me the job . patti : come on , this is what i do for a living . nicole : okay , yeah , but are n't you being a bit presumptuous ? patti : well , there 's also the fact that i called ej last week with a potential date . nicole : yeah , and i gave him the message . patti : but he never called me back -- strange . nicole : yep , strange . patti : come on , nicole , we both know you did n't give ej that message . is there a reason you 're keeping ej all to yourself ? marlena : hummus not good enough for you ? you want the baby food ? will : oh , yes , please . marlena : popcorn , come on . will : can i ask you a question ? marlena : i think you mean ... `` may i ask you question ? `` will : yes , may i ask you a question ? marlena : anything , yes . will : okay , um ... do you know why john decided to plead guilty , when we all know that he did nothing wrong ? marlena : well , what i sorted out was he just wants to protect his family . will : no , i get that , but he has to know that you did n't want that . marlena : well , yes , he did know that , but sometimes people do things that it 's difficult to understand , even though we know them very well . will : yeah , no kidding . marlena : it seems like you 're trying to sort out something . what 's going on ? will : what ? marlena : well , there 's clearly something weighty going on , and you 're reluctant to talk about it . sometimes , i do n't know , popcorn helps you loosen up your tongue . will : oh . [ sighs ] as i get older , i 'm making changes to support my metabolism . nicole : of course i passed along the message . why would n't i pass along the message ? patti : really ? nicole : okay , you know what ? fine , you caught me . i did n't pass along the message . look , the truth is , patti , ej and i have been -- we have been doing this dance around each other for a while now . patti : and you want to see where it 's going ? nicole : i thought i knew where it was going . you have no idea -- no idea -- how toxic our relationship was before and -- and all the things we did to hurt each other . patti : but that 's in the past . you two are on the brink of a brand - new future together . nicole : yeah , but -- [ sighs ] you are amazing , you know that ? you are . patti : what does ej say ? nicole : well , he ... he swears that he 's changed , that he wants things to be different between us now . patti : and you do n't believe him ? nicole : i want to . oh , man , i want to -- i want to believe it , but ... i mean , i would have to be criminally insane to ever believe that ej would change again . okay , why do n't you give me your professional matchmaking opinion here , okay ? am i crazy to ever trust that guy again ? carrie : okay , so i 've kept a log of all the locations where the prosecution claims these transactions were made and a counterlog of john and marlena 's whereabouts since they left salem . rafe : uh , which pile is what ? carrie : oh , um , this is the prosecution -- oop . rafe : sorry . carrie : no , it 's all right . this -- this desk is too small . let 's -- let 's move over there . rafe : okay . carrie : oop , we need that . let 's bring that over . rafe : all right , so you 're saying , even with all this , the only thing that can refute the prosecution 's timeline is our guy from the clinic in switzerland , yes ? carrie : yeah , unfortunately . rafe : okay , where 's our witness now ? carrie : [ sighs ] once john decided to plead guilty , he left salem . rafe : yeah . okay , you 're telling me he went back ? carrie : mm - hmm . his testimony would have been enough to produce reasonable doubt if this case went to trial , but now that john has pleaded this out , we need to find real physical evidence to get the case looked at again . what are you thinking ? rafe : no , it 's -- i do n't know . something about this picture 's always bugged me . carrie : oh , i - i 've stared at this for hours . i ca n't find anything . rafe : that 's it . oh , my god , that 's it . that 's -- right there , look . carrie : what ? where ? rafe : okay , look . look at the shadows in the background , okay ? you see that ? look , see how they 're long , as though it was taken in the afternoon ? carrie : yeah , so ? rafe : look at john 's face . there are , like , no shadows , like the picture was taken midday . look ! carrie : oh , my god ! [ gasps ] you 're right . rafe , do you know what this means ? if we can prove that , we would tear a giant hole in the prosecution 's case . rafe : uh , yeah , not to mention it would help us prove the fact that he 's been set up from the very beginning . carrie : [ laughs ] this is amazing . oh , my goodness , those shadows -- i never would have seen that . rafe : i ca n't believe i did n't see that before . carrie : okay , rafe , before we go any further , we have to talk about something . rafe : what ? carrie : well , you sort of avoided answering before . how do -- how do you think sami is going to feel about the two of us working together like this ? marlena : sweetie , i 'd never put you on the spot . we just have n't had any time alone together . will : oh , i mean , you 've had a lot to deal with , and if this is about the letter i wrote you -- marlena : well , it is . you talked about having some issues going on , things you were trying to work through on your own . look , it 's your call , but sometimes it helps to get those things out in the open . will : [ sighs ] okay , well , um ... the thing that i was trying to figure out was about gabi . marlena : what about gabi ? will : i do n't know . i mean , um ... i was just wondering about our relationship and if the feelings i have for her are like the kind of feelings that she has for me , and if our relationship is even real . marlena : well , those are normal questions , especially for somebody your age . will : but it does n't have to do with my age . [ sighs ] i 've been thinking ... i do n't even want a relationship . marlena : you mean with gabi ? will : with anyone . marlena : really ? what 's that about ? will : i do n't -- it just seems pointless to me . you know , i mean , sooner or later , things get messed up , and they end , badly . marlena : honey , i 'm just a little curious why you think that 's so . will : okay , well , look at my mom 's relationships , okay ? they 've all failed . my dad ? brandon ? austin ? ej ? and now -- okay , now she 's with rafe , who is so good to her . he 's so good to her , and he 's so great for her and for all of us , and she does n't even deserve him . marlena : wow . why do you think that she does n't deserve rafe ? sami : rafe kept it together the whole time johnny was missing . he never lost his cool . i totally fell apart , and he was there for me and will ... all of us . and i blamed him ... made him think that if anything happened to johnny , i would ... never forgive him . and then when we found out about that little boy 's body , i asked him to go . and he did . and then i show up here . i do n't know how to ever forgive myself . i do n't know how to live with myself for what i have done . ej : samantha , would you just listen to me ? sami : no . no , i 'm not gon na listen to you . ej : samantha , listen to me . sami : do n't touch me . ej : you need to tell me what you are thinking , young lady . sami : [ scoffs ] i hate you . ej : you can hate me all you like . i do n't really care if you hate me . what i care about is whether you plan on telling rafe about what happened between the two of us . samantha ! are you going to tell rafe we had sex ? when it comes to getting my family to eat breakfast , sami : i do n't know how i could keep this from my husband . i mean , maybe i could explain it to him in a way he 'd ... ej : in a way he 'll understand ? sami : understand . ej : samantha , he 's never going to understand . do you understand ? i do n't understand . sami : go to hell . ej : i never wanted this to happen , samantha , okay ? and for god 's sake , the worst thing -- the worst thing -- that you can do is to drag this out into the light of day . and i 'm telling you right now , i am not going to allow you to jeopardize my relationship with nicole just because you feel this need to unburden yourself . patti : when you talk about your past , you say it 's something you do n't want to repeat ? nicole : i - i ca n't . i ca n't repeat it . that 's the difference . i can not put myself through that again . patti : how do you explain that ? nicole : i do n't know . i do n't know . it does n't make any sense . i -- [ sighs ] you should hear him . he is so convincing ... the way he says he wants things to be better with us . and i 'm so terrified that i 'm actually willing to believe him . i know better ! patti : the heart wants what the heart wants . nicole : [ scoffs ] so you 're saying my life 's a cliché ? awesome . patti : [ sighs ] you know , i have clients that are selfish and truly not ready to commit . nicole : yeah , i know . i 've seen your show . patti : but those same clients , when they meet the right girl ... that 's when they commit , and everything changes . nicole : so you think this could be the real deal ? patti : he lost you once . nicole : twice . patti : i do n't think he wants to lose you again . nicole : i told him i loved him . patti : did you mean it ? nicole : [ chuckles ] yeah . how stupid am i , right ? i confessed my feelings to the one man who hurt me the most in this world . rafe : i really do n't think that sami 's gon na have a problem with the two of us working together . carrie : you do n't ? rafe : no . look , we 're adults here . correct ? well , why should it become a situation between us ? carrie : i just do n't want to lose track of what 's really important here , which is john 's freedom . rafe : i agree . but even austin 's come around , right ? did n't he tell john he thinks he 's innocent ? carrie : yeah , once john decided to plead guilty to protect his family , austin finally saw that there was more to this case than just the evidence . rafe : mm - hmm . oh , and you do n't think that sami feels that way ? carrie : am i wrong ? rafe : well ... when johnny went missing , some issues did arise ... past problems between john and her mom . carrie : and she lashed out at you too , right ? rafe : yeah , she -- she may have said some things that ... she wishes she had n't to the three of us . carrie : is she still upset ? rafe : i think so . i think she 's just having a hard time forgiving herself ... all the more reason she would want to make it up to john and marlena . carrie : hmm . well , i do n't know if she 's gon na see the two of us working together as a way to do that . rafe : well , like i said before , this is about family . and i know how she feels about family , and john is part of her family . if she has an issue , i 'll ... i 'll talk to her . carrie : i hope she 'll listen . rafe : trust me , everything 's gon na be fine . this is not gon na be a big deal . marlena : will , why would you say that sami does n't deserve rafe ? will : okay , forget it . you know , i did n't mean it the way that it sounded . marlena : well , honey , what did you mean ? will : it means i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm there at the loft , so i know what goes on . i see things that other people do n't . marlena : are you saying there are problems there ? will : no , i 'm saying it 's my mom being my mom . and rafe is such a good guy that sometimes it 's -- it 's impossible not to think that she 's taking advantage of him ! marlena : advantage how ? will : she needs that drama ! she needs the drama and rafe does n't ! y - you know . you saw how she went after you when johnny was missing . and i know -- you said that it was okay , but i do not agree . marlena : i - i realize that . honey , the relationship between your mother and me is very complicated . will : okay , all her relationships are complicated . marlena : yes -- yes , i understand that , but our relationship -- even though it 's upsetting and complicated -- we love each other very , very much , and she has a good reason to be angry at me . will : oh , really ? i have good reason to be angry at her ! marlena : why ? tell me what she 's done . will : [ breathes deeply ] okay . you know i went to live with austin and carrie because i could n't live with my mom anymore . i could not stand the things that she and my dad would do to each other . marlena : i thought that was all ancient history ? will : well , so did i , but ... now ... [ sighs ] okay , i 'm -- i 've never been in a serious relationship before , and i 'm just afraid that i 'm going to do the same thing . i 'm gon na hurt gabi . marlena : your relationship with gabi is yours . you affect it , nobody else . so , if you choose that you want to have a wonderful , loving relationship , that 's exactly what you 're gon na have . will : that 's what i 've always wanted ... something real , you know ? to be with somebody who i ... i know that i can trust no matter what . marlena : and that 's exactly what you 're going to have . you might not have it with gabi , but you 'll have it with somebody just as wonderful . will : maybe . marlena : trust me , will . i mean , trust me ... for me . will : i will ... for you . sure . i just do n't want to be like my mom . rafe : sorry to cut this short . carrie : oh , it 's okay . you had no idea what i was gon na rope you into when i called , so ... big plans tonight ? rafe : uh , well , you know . sami 's been through the wringer the last few days . carrie : she sure has . rafe : yeah . so i want to get him before she does and do something nice for her , you know ? let her know i love her . carrie : i 'm sure she knows . rafe : yeah , well ... never hurts to hear . patti : you know , i have n't been able to find the perfect match for ej . nicole : what about that date you were gon na set him up with ? patti : oh , she turned out to be totally unsuitable . you did ej a favor . nicole : well , i 'm glad to hear it . patti : and i have n't been able to find a replacement . nicole : is that unusual ? patti : for me ? [ scoffs ] yes . nicole : well , they never said finding love was easy . patti : i think the reason is , is the perfect match is right next to me . and i think ej knows , nicole , that you are the perfect match . nicole : is that your professional opinion ? patti : it is . you know , it takes a lot of guts to follow your heart , but from the moment i met you , girl , i knew you had a lot of guts . i 'll be seeing you around . nicole : patti ... for what it 's worth , thank you . patti : my pleasure . sami : you 're worried about nicole ? are you serious ? ej : yes , very . sami : oh , my god . ej : samantha , i 've spent weeks trying to convince her that i 've changed . i want a relationship with her , and i want it to work . sami : i do n't have time for this . ej : i love her . samantha , i see the opportunity here to have an incredible relationship with her -- very similar to what you have with rafe . sami : do n't you dare compare my marriage to rafe to your whatever it is that 's going on with you and nicole . i thought you were getting a divorce . ej : i 've worked very hard to convince her to give me a second chance -- the amount of doubt and mistrust that i 've had to erase in her mind . sami : why bother ? ej : because ... i have never wanted anyone or anything as much . sami : am i supposed to feel sorry for you ? ej : nicole does n't need a reason not to trust me . if she finds one , this whole situation will be over . and i do n't mean in the short term -- i mean permanently over . maybe -- maybe that 's what i deserve , but i know this ... i would struggle to survive without her . and you know how that feels , do n't you ? sami : just stop it . ej : if rafe were to find out what you did ... your marriage would be over . samantha , you would hurt him far more than you would help yourself by easing your guilty conscience . quinn : you 're that matchmaker from tv , are n't you ? patti : i am . quinn : maybe you can help me out . patti : really ? are you looking for love ? quinn : or the perfect woman -- whichever comes first . patti : hmm . what kind of women do you like ? quinn : ah , successful , smart , sexy , funny , independent , blue eyes , beautiful california tan . patti : nice try , cutie , but you 're not my type . quinn : i 'm a little hurt . there 's no way i can get you to reconsider ? patti : you enjoy playing the bad boy , do n't you ? quinn : yeah , but who says i 'm playing ? patti : look , i wo n't deny there 's a place in the world for bad boys like you . lord knows women fall for this crap every day . but just be careful . quinn : careful of what ? patti : those broken hearts -- one day they 're gon na catch up with you . quinn : i 'll sleep with one eye open . patti : you bad boys are always so smart . ej : samantha ... i need to know what you 're going to do . sami : you do n't know how much it kills me to be here with you right now . what we did is sickening , and if rafe ever found out ... ej : he would never forgive you , just as nicole would never forgive me . sami : i could n't care less about you and nicole . all i 'm thinking about is rafe . and i love him too much to hurt him . and if he ever found out ... it would hurt him . ej : so ... we 're in agreement , then ? no one need ever know . sami : no one will ever know . marlena : you know , will , your mother has made a lot of mistakes in her relationships ... will : huh . marlena : and that does n't mean that you 're going to . you ca n't think that . you 'll sabotage yourself will : yeah , you 're right . marlena : i know . you found a wonderful girl in gabi , and you are a wonderful young man . you -- look at my face -- you are a wonderful young man , and you will treat her exactly the way she 's meant to be treated . will : [ exhales deeply ] man , i 'm sorry . all i 'm doing is bashing my mom , and i 'm not -- i do n't mean to . marlena : i know that . i know . you know , sami has made mistakes in her relationships -- that 's true . she 's made plenty of them . but you know what else is true ? she 's gone into every single one with the best of intentions . will : that did n't stop her from messing up , though , did it ? sami : w - what are you doing ? rafe : well , with everything that 's happened the last few days , i thought we needed this . what ? i just want to show my wife how much i love her . i had enough of feeling embarrassed about my skin . ej : there you are ! i was just about to call you . so how soon can you be packed ? nicole : uh ... well , that depends on where we 're going and how long we 're staying . ej : new york city . i thought we could catch some dinner and a show . i , uh , have a suite at the plaza overlooking the park . nicole : that 's a bit sudden , do n't you think ? ej : you 're not going to say yes ? oh , come on . do n't tell me you 're having second thoughts . nicole : a little , yeah . ej : why ? nicole : [ sighs ] ej , look , i 've heard what you 've said , a - and you heard what i said , but i - i 'm just ... i 'm still holding back . ej : you 're afraid of getting hurt . nicole : are n't you ? we still have a past , and that 's ... that 's putting it kindly . we ca n't just forgot about everything that 's happened . ej : okay , but if that 's how you feel , though , why are you still here ? nicole : because ... of this . because of that moment . ej : what -- what moment ? nicole : in the police station ... when gus threatened my life ... and i just could n't help wondering what it would be like if i never -- if i never saw you again ... if i never felt your arms around me or ... kissed you . [ sighs ] you know what ? i 'm just gon na say it , and i am never gon na take it back again . i do love you , ej . ej : you okay with that ? nicole : [ sighs ] i think it 's a mistake ... but what can i do ? the heart wants what the heart wants . ej : if it makes you feel any better ... nicole : [ laughs ] ej : i love you . and i made a promise to you that i was going to be a better man . i 'm going to live up to that promise , nicole . and you did n't make a mistake , okay ? loving me is not a mistake . nicole : [ laughs ] marlena : you 're right about rafe . he is a wonderful man . he sets a very good example of how to love somebody . will : yeah . yeah , he does . marlena : and sami loves him very much . will , it 's a strong relationship . they 're solid . there 's no reason to worry about that falling apart . rafe : sorry it 's not ready yet . it 's sort of a last - minute idea . sami : oh , you did n't have to do any of this . rafe : yes , yes , i did . you know why ? because i want you to know how special you are to me . you know , not a moment goes by , actually , when i 'm not thinking about you . [ laughs ] sami : ditto . rafe : yeah ? oh , by the way , i also went ahead and made you an appointment for a massage for tomorrow at that new place that they put in the square . sami : rafe . rafe : until then , i 'm hoping you can enjoy the simplicity of this candlelight dinner -- hopefully with our children -- hey , hey , what 's -- why the face ? i have n't even burned the dinner yet . it 's still -- it 's browning . sami : i do n't deserve this . i do n't deserve you . rafe : honey , honey , honey , would you stop saying that ? of course , you do . sami : i love you . i love you so much . i love you so much . if i ever lost you -- rafe : oh , my god . i love you too . you 're not gon na lose me . you are not gon na lose me . you know what ? you 're stuck with me ... no matter what . sami : oh , god . hope : a letter addressed to gran . jennifer : who 's it from ? bo : susan banks . brady : i do n't want to say good night . marlena : what happened to your friend ? jack : i could n't do anything . | at austin and carrie 's hotel room , rafe and carrie talked about john 's case . she wanted to convince the public that john was falsely accused and convicted so they would n't have to deal with a situation like johnny 's disappearance again . rafe wondered if she was offering him a job . she said she was , but she could n't pay him . she said her firm moved on and closed the case . she knew he needed a job that paid money so he could support his family . she thought it was unfair of her to ask . rafe wanted to help . carrie wondered if sami would have a problem with it . rafe thought sami would understand . at quinn 's spa , nicole wanted to make sure quinn 's business was legit . she wanted to make sure that ej was n't making a mistake working with quinn . quinn said the business made a profit . he said he was n't in salem to cause trouble . he wanted to make people feel good . after they talked about ej , she left . sami went to the dimera mansion to see ej . she wanted to talk . they talked about their affair . she felt horrible for betraying rafe after what he did for her . ej suggested that she put it behind her . she could n't do it . all she thought about was being with ej even though johnny was safe and rafe was by her side . she was afraid of what would happen if rafe knew what she did . she told him how their sex meant everything to her . she realized she did what her mother did . she said she hated her mother for years for sleeping with john . it changed her life and she swore she would never do that . she would never be like her mother and now she is . he thought she was overreacting because no one saw anything and no one knew what they did . she said she knew . she thought rafe deserved better . at john and marlena 's penthouse , will and marlena talked about john pleading guilty . marlena noticed something was wrong with will . he said it was about gabi . he talked about problems in relationships . the conversation headed towards sami . he said all of sami 's relationships failed . he said rafe was good to sami and the kids , but she did n't deserve him . marlena wondered why he felt that way . |

[ phone ringing ] daniel : hey , jennifer . jennifer : hey . i , uh -- i just got off the phone with dr . lewis . daniel : what , the hand specialist ? that lewis ? jennifer : yeah . and , listen , he said he is willing to let you participate in the clinical trial for his new treatment . daniel : well , that 's quick . how did you manage that ? jennifer : well , it took a little arm twisting . daniel : which i 'm sure you , uh , did in the nicest possible way . um , when , uh -- when can i see him ? jennifer : daniel , that 's the best part . he wants to see you today . daniel : you 're kidding . jennifer : listen , by tonight , that tremor in your hands might be history . eric : hey , what is all this ? sister margaret : well , you asked for the parish 's quarterly financial activity , father . eric : yes , i did , sister margaret , but i was kind of hoping that it would come on one piece of paper , kind of like a spreadsheet . sister margaret : i 'm sure i do n't know anything about something like that . eric : any progress in finding a new secretary ? sister margaret : no new applicants . can you believe it , father ? in this economy ? eric : yeah , who could resist a job like this ? [ footsteps approaching ] nicole : hi . i brought you some coffee since you 've been so nice about letting me hang out here . eric : thank you . nicole : you sure you do n't mind letting me hang around ? eric : i enjoy your company . nicole : good , 'cause you 're the only one . let me give you some advice . if you want to be well - liked in this town , do not try to railroad jennifer horton . eric : you know , i think i know a way to get your mind off your problems . why do n't you come and work here ? nicole : me ? working in a -- in a church ? [ laughing ] kayla : oh , hey . reinforcements are here . hope : hey , guys . roman : yeah , you go pick up ciara . we 're going to take care of everything here . hope : actually , you 're off the hook . kayla : what do you mean ? i thought that gabi and nick were still out , right ? hope : well , someone showed up with a lot of experience , and , uh , was looking for a job . kayla : what ? roman : what , you hired somebody ? hope : i think she 's going to work out , too . although , i have to admit , she 's a little bossy . maybe a lot . caroline : why not ? you want something done right , you 've got to do it yourself . roman : oh , come on . ma ! kayla : i do n't believe it . what are you doing here ? oh , god . kristen : thank you so much for calling me back , john . i wanted to talk to you about what happened today . there 's something you need to know . john : yeah , what now ? daniel : so , uh , this is , uh -- this is happening . jennifer : well , dr . lewis said you 'll have to sign a release form , just so that you understand the risks that are involved . daniel ? daniel : uh , yeah . jennifer : listen , is this too fast ? do you not want to go through with this ? nicole : [ laughs ] eric : would you like water or something ? nicole : i 'm fine . i 'm sorry . it 's just i have n't laughed like that in since i can not remember . i just -- i kept seeing myself wearing that getup they have . what is that thing called again ? eric : a habit . i 'm not asking you to become a nun . it 's the parish . they 're looking for a secretary . nicole : a secretary ? eric : yeah , how 's your typing ? nicole : sucks . eric : your shorthand ? nicole : nonexistent . eric : great . well , the pay is n't really all that great , so -- nicole : like a living wage , you mean ? eric : exactly . but there are benefits . nicole : oh , i ca n't wait . eric : well , we would pay for your room and board , and you would get out of that hotel that you hate . nicole : mm - hmm . and where will i go ? eric : in the convent . nicole : [ laughs ] that 's -- are you making that up ? are you trying to make me laugh again ? eric : no , i 'm serious . nicole : you want me to live with a bunch of nuns ? eric : well , there wo n't be a lack of company . nicole : okay . you 've had your little joke , there , father . eric : seriously . the priests reside next door . we 'll be able to see each other all the time . so what do you say ? john : oh , i know what happened today . kristen : nope . there 's more . john : more ? yeah , like what ? kristen : brady came by today and he , um , he apologized ... said that he realizes he was wrong about me . he was incredibly sorry , because he 'd been so mean to me , and horrible , and he was a complete and total jerk . john : and that 's the reason that you called me ? to tell me that brady apologized ? kristen : well , i thought maybe you had something to do with it , so i just wanted to say thank you . john : i ca n't take any credit for what my son does , but i 'm glad that it happened . i 'd like to think that we can all coexist peacefully . kristen : yeah , me too . well , i wo n't keep you . i 'll talk to you later , john . john : yeah . so long . she called to tell me that brady apologized for treating her so badly . it seems that he has changed his mind about her . marlena : uh , yes , i know . he -- he told me that . so it appears that kristen has n't lost her touch . john : so is that why you were so upset earlier ? joy 's christmas shopping and was looking at best buy nicole : you know , as hard as it is to pass up living with a bunch of nuns who have taken a vow of chastity , next to my ex - lover , who is now celibate , i am going to make the difficult choice to let that opportunity go by . eric : there 's not going to be a lot of opportunity for you in salem . so what are you going to do about money ? nicole : i have savings left over from my previous jobs as an on - camera personality and campaign manager . oh , and you would be surprised at how much money that ej is willing to fork over just to be divorced from me . eric : i 'm not saying you have to be a church secretary for life . nicole : well , that 's a relief . eric : but it would help fill your days . nicole : okay , i 'll -- i 'll think about it . eric : thank you . nicole : mm - hmm . eric : there is something else that you 're going to have to do to improve the quality of your life . nicole : i ca n't wait to hear . eric : you 're going to have to make things right with daniel jonas . jennifer : uh , daniel , are you still there ? daniel : uh , yeah . yeah , i 'm still here . jennifer : listen , i can cancel the appointment . daniel : [ exhales ] uh , no . do n't do that , do n't . i 'm -- i made my decision and i 'm going to commit to doing it . if this works out , it 'll be worth the risk . jennifer : okay , then i 'll see you soon . daniel : thanks . abigail : see who soon ? jennifer : uh , daniel . abigail : oh . really ? jennifer : yeah . i made an appointment for him . abigail : with the hand guy ? jennifer : yeah . abigail : daniel means a lot to you , does n't he , mom ? jennifer : it was , uh , just an act of friendship . abigail : right . well , he is lucky to have your friendship . to have you in his life . jennifer : yeah . [ knock at door ] daniel : hey , maggie . maggie : can i come in ? daniel : well , i -- okay , sure . maggie : uh , read this . daniel : no , i -- you know , i do n't have time . maggie : uh , maybe you should make the time . see , it 's my online research about the side effects of this treatment that jennifer suggested for you . daniel : look , i know all of this . i do . i 'm the one who told you about it . maggie : yes , you did . and -- and i realize now that , you know , i did n't read enough about it -- about the risks . this treatment can turn certain kinds of tremors into a permanent condition . daniel : mm - hmm , yeah . yeah , in a -- in a small percentage of cases , yeah . maggie : daniel , just read the stuff . daniel : i ca n't , really . i 'm on my way to the hospital to meet with dr . lewis right now . maggie : you 're meeting with him ? daniel : i am . maggie : already ? daniel : yes , i 'm getting an injection in about an hour , so -- maggie : you are kidding . what is the rush ? daniel : because he 's in town . maggie : so what ? daniel : so i might not get another chance to do this . maggie : but -- daniel : okay , maggie , it 's all set up . jennifer arranged it . my mind is made up . john : doc ? marlena : hmm ? john : are you upset because brady apologized to kristen ? marlena : well , sure . sure . you know , brady has been my ally in all of this . john : i keep trying to tell you , honey , this is n't a war . marlena : and i see i ca n't convince you that you 're wrong about that . so all i can hope is ... john : [ sighs ] marlena : that kristen has finally realized that she needs to keep her distance from me , and from everybody that i love . kristen : thank you . john : yep , me too . kristen : i told you that i just wanted to make peace . brady : so you 're going to let this go . kristen : well , you heard me on the phone just now with john . after what marlena did , breaking in here , looking at my personal files , i had every right to expose her , but i 'm trying so hard , you know ? i 'm trying to be the bigger person , take the high road . brady : i owe you one . kristen : well , not really , 'cause you risked your life to protect me from those muggers . so i guess , um , we 're kind of even , right ? sort of ? roman : ma , i can not believe you 're home . caroline : well , believe it . kayla : yeah , you know what ? i just talked to your doctor . he said he was going to think about letting you come home and do your treatment here . caroline : well , it turns out that i was an `` a `` student at the alzheimer 's clinic . kayla : of course you were . caroline : so bo and i convinced the doctor that sooner was better than later . kayla : well , what about your memory lapses and all that ? how 's that going ? caroline : well , i still have them once in a while , but not so often . sweetheart , i -- i want to thank you for that clinic and that doctor . kayla : stop . caroline : thank you . roman : okay , well , where 's my brother ? hope : picking up his daughter . kayla : oh , i bet that 's one happy girl . hope : oh , she 's not the only one . everyone is finally back home , where they belong . jennifer : hey , aunt maggie . maggie : hi . we need to talk . jennifer : okay , yeah . come on in . i 'm guessing this is about daniel , and , uh , he told you about the injections . maggie : yes . and in spite of the fact that , if it fails , this treatment stops any other treatment from working . see , when you and i talked about this , you left that little part out . jennifer : i know . but i - i made it clear to him , and he still wants to go ahead with this . maggie : this afternoon . because you pulled some strings to make it happen . jennifer : but i did n't insist on it , and if he wanted to back off , i would be fine with that . maggie : since when has my son denied you anything ? jennifer : aunt maggie , this is not for me . maggie : you know , after this mess with nicole , daniel admitted to me that he still loves you , and that he told you that , and i think you 're guilty because you ca n't say you love him , too . jennifer : that 's not true . that 's not why i 'm doing this . maggie : is n't it ? have n't you decided to make it up to him by giving him back the other love of his life , the ability to do surgery ? jennifer : is that so bad ? maggie : it is if you ca n't guarantee that this experiment will work . jennifer , you are risking my son 's entire future to quiet your guilty conscience . now i demand that you talk him out of this insanity before it 's too late . nicole : i told you , i - i already tried talking to daniel , and i could n't go through with it . eric : you faced jennifer horton . how could this be worse ? nicole : i do n't love jennifer horton . i do n't even like jennifer horton . eric : and you still love daniel . nicole : he -- he made me feel like i had value . and if -- what if i go to him and -- and he says he ca n't forgive me ? eric : you may not have a future with daniel . but you still have a future . until you 've told him that you 're sincerely sorry , i do n't think you 'll be able to move forward in a meaningful way . nicole : you know what ? you 're right . i need to try talking to daniel again . eric : there 's no time like the present . nicole : wow , you 're so pushy . okay , um , wish me luck ? eric : absolutely . john : i ran into eric earlier , and he said you canceled a lunch . what happened ? marlena : uh , well , you know , i just , i , uh -- i just got all jammed up and ... i should go to the rectory and apologize to him . john : okay . marlena : yeah . john . you know how much i love you , do n't you ? this -- this -- the thing with kristen , it , um -- we just ca n't let it come between us . not again . not ever . please . john : it wo n't . i wo n't let it . kristen : so , you did your damage control for marlena . and , uh , why are you still here ? brady : i do n't know . kristen : oh . well , i doubt if this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship , but it is kind of nice to be in the same room with you without having you attack my character . you know , you can be a little scary . brady : i work on that for hours every day in front of the mirror . listen , uh , kristen , since we 're going to be on this church board together , it might be a good idea if we learned how to get along . you know , for everyone 's benefit . kristen : yeah . i agree . brady : good . kristen : so you have to leave now . brady : yeah . kristen : i have things to do . brady : of course you do . kristen : and i spent all day in a hospital room . brady : you should go . kristen : [ gasps ] ow . brady : what is it ? what ? what 's wrong ? kristen : i just got a sharp pain when i turned the doorknob . it still kind of hurts . brady : yeah , you got a souvenir from your mud wrestling match with marlena , right ? that 's very nice . kristen : thank you . brady : it looks bruised . let me see it . kristen : no , that 's okay . brady : let me see . kristen : no , no , no , no , ah . brady : it looks swollen . daniel : nicole . what , uh -- what are you doing here ? nicole : selling vacuums door to door ? i -- i actually came to talk to you . do you have a minute ? jennifer : i want to help him do this . and the risk that you are talking about is in such a small percentage of the cases . and do you know this is the only treatment that can allow him to be a surgeon again ? so i ca n't even believe that -- that you would want him to just accept the status quo . maggie : all i want is for daniel to wait until the odds are better . and if you were thinking clearly , you would agree with me . jennifer : believe it or not , i am thinking clearly . and how daniel feels about me , that is irrelevant . he is doing the right thing . maggie : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i ca n't accept that . and if you ca n't see that you pushed daniel into this , then you are being dangerously naive . but if you wo n't stop him , i guess it 's up to me . jennifer : aunt maggie . are -- are we okay ? maggie : i love you , honey . i always will . i just wish that you 'd butt out of my son 's life . nicole : thank you for not turning me away . daniel : i do n't have a lot of time . nicole : i - it wo n't take long . i just -- i just wanted to say that i 'm sorry . [ sighs ] boy , that was inadequate . i am so sorry for accusing jennifer of killing my baby . i was a desperate , grieving woman , and that does n't begin to excuse it -- daniel : okay , nicole , you do n't have to do this . nicole : yes , i do , i do . i do . i had to say it to jennifer , and i need to say it to you . [ sighs ] you were so good to me , and i did nothing but pay you back with lies and deceit , because i thought it was the only way i could hang on to you . and you have every right to hate me for the rest of your life . i just hope someday that you ... can find it in your heart to forgive me for what i did . [ knock at door ] eric : hey . marlena : hi , honey . eric : what 's this ? marlena : oatmeal chocolate chip cookies . [ laughs ] still your favorite , i see . eric : yes . marlena : good . eric : [ sniffs ] mm . you want one ? marlena : yes , i 'm starved . eric : well , that 's what you get for ditching me for lunch . marlena : oh , honey , i 'm -- i 'm sorry about that . eric : is everything okay ? marlena : oh , sure . yeah , everything 's fine . no . no , my life seems to be spinning out of control , and every time i try to fix it , i just make it worse . sorry you asked ? kristen : i 'm sure this is going to be a lot better by tomorrow , so -- brady : yeah . kristen : you got ta go . brady : i got ta go . kristen : i got somebody i have to see , yeah . brady : what ? your , uh -- kristen : purse . brady : purse . john : hey , kid . how you feeling ? brady : hey . hey , dad . i 'm good . john : good . no headaches , double vision , anything like that ? brady : healthy . john : you looked like you were thinking about something pretty serious there . look , i , uh , i know what happened between you and kristen . brady : how could -- oh , oh , you -- that i 've let her off the hook . john : yeah , is there something else ? brady : no . no , no , no . i just -- i just figured it was the right thing to do . i mean , how many times have i gotten a second chance at life ? i hope i 'm not making a mistake about her . i mean , she is not the easiest woman to read , dad . john : that 's a fact . but , you know , forgiving her for what she did in the past does n't mean you have to deal with her in the present . [ cell phone chimes ] brady : [ sighs ] oh , that 's a missed call from eric . he 's probably wondering why i left like a bat out of hell out of the pub earlier today . john : it has n't exactly been an ordinary day , has it ? brady : no , it has n't . listen , i better , uh -- i better explain this to him . i 'll see you later , okay ? john : all right , kid . take care . marlena : i just never thought that john and i would be in this position ever again . eric : i understand why you would be completely wary of kristen . marlena : you do ? then you 're the only person in this town who does . [ knock at door ] marlena : [ gasps ] oh -- kristen : hi , i 'm sorry . i should have waited outside . i do have church business to discuss with you , father , but i 'm sure your mother needs you more than i do . marlena : i have to go , anyway . please , come to supper with john and me very soon . eric : sounds great . marlena : good . bye . kristen : bye , now , marlena . it 's kind of embarrassing . no matter how hard i try , she just refuses to trust me . eric : as i remember it , she has every reason not to . nicole : you 're not saying anything . should i leave ? daniel : i , um -- i accept your apology . nicole : oh . oh , thank goodness . do n't blow it , nicole . knowing when to leave is half the battle . what 's this ? daniel : it 's , uh , it 's information on a new treatment . nicole : for tremors of the hand . daniel : yeah , yeah . yeah , i 'm meeting today with the doctor who developed that . nicole : how did you arrange it ? daniel : it 's , uh , jennifer . she arranged it . nicole : oh . i see . daniel : yeah , and there -- there are some risks involved , but if this works , nicole , i could be a surgeon again . nicole : oh , you -- you 've wanted that more than anything . that 's -- that 's great . and jennifer made that happen for you . god , why do n't i ever think of doing stuff like that ? she 's still looking out for you . i 'm -- i 'm glad . daniel : she 's a -- she 's a good friend . okay , i , uh , i need to -- to get going . nicole : okay . um , when do you do your treatment ? daniel : oh , i , in , uh -- you know , like -- it 's just an injection , but , uh , about an hour . nicole : and -- and when do you know if it works ? daniel : well , if it works , it 's going to work quickly , and i 'll know , um , today . later today . nicole : wow . well , i - i wish you -- i wish you the best of luck . daniel : thank you . nicole : i 'll see you around . daniel : you will . nicole : god , he said they 're just friends . is jennifer keeping him at arm 's length ? what ? what is she , stupid ? i 'm going to find out for sure . ashley 's got her christmas list -- kristen : you never were one to beat around the bush . i guess the priesthood has n't changed you . eric : have you changed ? kristen : [ gasps ] oh , yes . i hope so . you do believe in redemption , do n't you ? eric : if you 're sincerely sorry for the things you 've done , and you have a firm resolve to live a different sort of life , i truly believe you deserve to be forgiven . kristen : thank you . i believe god has forgiven me . but marlena ? i do n't think she ever will . eric : i 'm sure you 're going to understand , it 's going to take a lot of time , a lot of hard work for you to prove yourself to her . kristen : of course . i understand completely what i need to do now . nicole : i told your mother how sorry i am , and i realized today it 's not enough , that i need to say something to you -- abigail : i do n't want to hear it , nicole . nicole : okay , look . i know what i did to your mother was horrible . abigail : yeah , it was . nicole : especially while you were grieving for your dad . abigail : we still are , nicole , so -- nicole : okay , wait -- when i was living here , i - i would hear your mom cry herself to sleep . abigail : that did n't seem to stop you from trying to ruin her life , did it ? nicole : i know . but i really am concerned for her . and i just -- i want to know if she 's still doing it . is she still so lonely ? abigail : [ scoffs ] the only thing that i 'm going to tell you about my mother , nicole , is that she 's a very strong woman , and she is trying to recover from losing my father , and also what you have done to her . and someday , if she decides that she wants to make a life with another man -- maybe dr . jonas ? -- then she has my complete support . does that answer your question ? [ slam ] [ sighs ] nicole : as a matter of fact , it does . jennifer and daniel are not together . well , what do you know ? maggie : still filling out the consent forms . that means that you have n't , uh , had the injection yet . daniel : okay , maggie , i have the education and the experience to make an informed decision . i 'm also man enough to handle this not working out . maggie : that 's all absolutely true . but i 'm old enough to know that it never hurts to sleep on something for a night . why ca n't you wait until the drug has gone through more trials ? i mean , why do you have to be a guinea pig ? daniel : maggie , i am a surgeon , and i will do whatever it takes to be one again . whatever it takes . i 'm sorry , but i have made up my mind on this . kristen : i was so certain that i put the check in here . it was from dimera enterprises for the school building fund . eric : father , i 'm sorry , but i have a family obligation to attend . father tobias : oh , go ahead . i can wait till ms . dimera locates the check . eric : i 'm sure i 'll speak to you again , kristen . kristen : okay , eric . i 'll see you . oh , i mean father . sorry . i was so certain it was in here . you know , i must have left it at my hotel . can i get it to you tomorrow ? father tobias : [ laughs ] today , tomorrow . what 's the difference ? kristen : i 'm not usually so spaced out . i 've had a very unsettling day . i 'm so sorry . father tobias : is there anything i can do ? kristen : um , actually , maybe . yeah , do you have a little time now ? father tobias : of course . kristen : okay . it 's been an awfully long time since i 've made a confession . would you be willing to hear mine now ? my doctor told me calcium caroline : looks like salem was n't exactly boring while i was away . roman : no , but it was n't the same without you , i guarantee you that . caroline : nicole walker , up to her old tricks . roman : yeah . she put jennifer through hell . caroline : right after jack . oh , god . poor jennifer . roman : yeah . it was rough on her . well , ma , you know what ? i got ta get going . but , uh , i will see you later . caroline : yes , you will . now , take care , roman . god . poor daniel .

what ? ciara : rafe , what the hell are you doing ? hope : answer me . did ben admit he tried to kill ciara in that fire ? ted : look , i have to tread carefully here , commissioner brady . in my profession , as in yours , i 'm bound to a code of ethics . hope : you just admitted that you blackmail people left and right . and you defend serial killers with no qualms . ted : my job is to represent my clients to the best of my ability ... whether they are innocent or guilty . hope : so he is guilty . ted : no , i - i did not say that . hope : do n't play games with me , counselor . if you want me to consider protecting you from stefan , i want a straight answer and i want it right now . did ben confess ? ted : um ... no . hope : then we 're done here . you 've wasted enough of my time . ted : no , wait . you may not like me . but i 'm the best shot you have to make sure ben weston will never come close to your daughter ever again . so please do n't blow it . sonny : why would you want to marry me ? i despise you . will : money , of course . but you are insane if you think sonny will ever agree to this . leo : he already did . i proposed that if you married me , i 'd make the sexual harassment lawsuit go away . sonny : it already did . leo : right , when i did n't show up in court ... because you tried to kill me . now , i 'm no scholar , but i would think that harassment plus attempted murder would be more incentive to put a ring on it . sonny : how many times do i have to tell you ? what happened was an accident ! leo : perhaps . but what 's the saying ? it 's not the crime . it 's the cover - up . will : you had your hands around my neck . sonny saved me from you . and i will tell the police exactly that . leo : and i bet those same police will wonder why , instead of calling them to tell them about this so - called accident , you helped sonny get rid of my body . sonny : okay , look . leave will out of this . leo : gladly . but you , sonny , are very much in it . you said yes to tying the knot , and i 'm holding you to that . sonny : forget it . i love will . leo : aw . well , that 's too bad , because you 're never gon na have him . rafe : do n't you ever touch ciara again , you hear me ? ciara : rafe ! rafe : what the hell even makes you think you could touch her , huh ? ciara : me . me ! i did . rafe , i wanted ben to kiss me . rafe : no , you -- no , you did not . ciara : yes , i did . rafe : no -- ciara , you just broke up with tripp . you 're hurt right now , and you 're vulnerable , and this loser ... ciara : no , it was n't like that . rafe : is trying to take advantage of you . ciara : rafe , please do n't act like my mom , okay ? please do n't act like i 'm incapable of -- of taking control of my own life , because i am . rafe : ciara . where is your mom , anyway ? i thought you were with her . ciara : why would you think that ? rafe : because she was gon na come back to the club after she talked with you , and she never showed up . ciara : do you think that something 's wrong ? hope : unless you have rock - solid evidence that ben started that fire , you 're useless to me . ted : define rock - solid . hope : a confession ... of you asking ben if he torched that cabin where he answers yes -- preferably on tape . ted : i - i never ask my clients point - blank if they committed a crime . it 's just bad lawyering . but if i want to know if ben did it , i could certainly find out . hope : why would he tell you anything now ? ted : i 'm pretty good at making people talk . but i will not start anything until i am sure that you can protect me from stefan dimera . can we help each other or not ? gabi : how is abigail struggling because of me ? jj : you lied , gabi , and i want to know why . gabi : jj , i did n't -- jj : no , do n't deny it . my mom and i went to bayview earlier to see abigail , and , uh , when we signed the visitor 's log , we saw that you had been there . you told the nurse that you were my wife , gabriella deveraux ? gabi : well , they asked me if i was family , and i knew they were gon na say no if -- if i said that i was n't , so yes , i stretched the truth a tiny bit , okay ? i mean , abigail 's arianna 's godmother , okay ? we 're practically family . jj : i still do n't get why you would go there in the first place . gabi : because abigail 's my best friend . jj : and she 's furious at you . she thinks you came up with this big plan to get her committed . gabi : okay , but i didn't . jj : you know , you had to know showing up there could set her off . and it did . you pushed her over the edge , gabi . they had to put her in isolation ! gabi : i did n't know they would do that . i went there to try to help her , okay , so that she could understand that i am on her side so she could accept reality . jj : reality ? gabi : yes . yes , that she 's sick and that she needs help so that she can be with her kids . i tried to talk to her , but then her alter came out and she attacked me . jj : wait , what ? gabi : yes , she had me pinned against the wall . she had her hands around my neck . she was trying to kill me . if chad had n't gotten there , she probably would have . jj : did something happen to make her have such an extreme reaction ? gabi : i do n't know , okay ? she was ranting and raving about how i was trying to frame her . she -- she said that i had the wig in my bag . jj : did you ? gabi : no , i did n't , okay ? you can ask chad . he checked . you know what ? abigail , she is paranoid , she 's delusional , and she 's violent , jj . she 's very , very sick . i 'm very sorry to tell you that . [ elevator bell dings ] kate : well , if it is n't the woman who sold me out to stefan dimera . kayla : i know that roman told you everything . kate : yes , it was quite a tale . kayla : listen , kate , i hope you know that i never wanted to hurt you . i was just desperate to get my husband 's sight back , and i felt i had no other choice . kate : hmm . well , you always have a choice . but you hate me , so you did n't overthink it . you think you 're superior to the rest of us , you and steve , do n't you ? kayla : that 's not true . kate : oh , no , that is true . have you forgotten how judgmental you were in the situation with tripp ? kayla : well , that was n't a situation . that was you trying to cover your part in theo 's shooting at the expense of my stepson . kate : hmm , the same way you dish dirt to stefan at my expense . you see , that 's called hypocrisy . kayla : you 're right . kate : well , stop the presses . dr. johnson actually admits to a moral flaw ? kayla : i justified what i did by telling myself it was for the greater good . but i realize now that that was a huge mistake , and ... i really am so sorry . kate : hmm . you can save it . i do n't want your apology . i want you to admit that you 're no better than i am . kayla : i 'm not . kate : well , for the record , roman and i are going to work together to take down stefan ... which means i suppose we 're on the same side . just so there 's no mistake , i 'm in this for myself -- the same way you are . kayla : understood . but , you know , you might rethink the revenge part . may not be the best way to go . kate : [ laughs ] oh , my god . you are hopeless . [ dramatic music ] feeling wiped out ? that 's your body calling . sonny : you 've already blackmailed me once . it wo n't happen again . leo : you tried to kill me . i talk , you go to prison . will : no one is gon na believe a word you say . you had your chance to get your big day in court , and you disappeared . everyone 's gon na think you got cold feet when it was time to face the judge . leo : and what do you think said judge will say when he finds out i was n't running or hiding ? i was recovering from a near - fatal injury inflicted by the man i was suing . you know i have evidence , right ? sonny : fabricated evidence . those texts and videos are bogus . leo : [ clears throat ] ladies and gentlemen of the jury , the walls were closing in . mr. kiriakis stood to lose everything , and the pressure was more than he could handle . he needed a way out , a way to make the nightmare end , and he found it -- eliminate the threat . eliminate me . sonny : please . leo : it was mr . kiriakis ' most desperate hour . his reckless , stupid mistakes were gon na cost him everything -- his job , his fortune , his reputation . and if he went down , so would titan . he would be single - handedly responsible for destroying everything his uncle built . sonny : you really need to stop . leo : mr. kiriakis lured me to his home and attacked me in a fit of rage . i was laying on the floor , unconscious , bleeding , barely clinging to life . did he attempt to save me ? did he show me one ounce of remorse or humanity ? no . he and his ex - husband rolled me up in a rug and dumped my body where they thought nobody would find it . does any of that scream innocent to you ? thank god the two of you were too stupid to realize i was still breathing . i got myself out of that trunk , and i spent months nursing myself back to health . but i never felt safe . i lived in constant fear you would find me and finish the job . will : the police are n't gon na believe you . you have no proof . leo : how do you know ? will : because you would tell us if you did . leo : with the stakes this high , is that a chance you 're willing to take ? i do n't have to go to the police . i could call ... `` the intruder , `` give 'em the scoop of the year . ace reporter from the rival paper mixed up in murder - sex scandal ? can you say clickbait ? will : you will never get away with any of this . leo : you 're going down , pretty boy . and so are you , and so is your company . [ tense music ] rafe : you sure you 're all right ? ciara : yeah . i 'm fine . rafe : [ sighs ] you better watch yourself . you 're gon na be dealing with me . okay . if you 're all right , i 'm gon na go find your mother . ciara : please do n't tell her what you saw . rafe : you need to understand something , ciara . if you 're gon na be hanging out with the likes of ben weston , there are consequences . especially if it turns out that he started that damn fire . ciara : the can of accelerant was planted , rafe . rafe : that does n't mean he did n't set the fire , ciara . the fire marshal himself said that it was suspicious . there was no one else within miles of that damn cabin . he was off his meds . he was agitated . he was angry . ben : god , here we go again . really ? rafe : just shut up . oh , my god . he 's been arrested for murder , attempted murder , arson . any reasonable person -- ciara : marlena 's a reasonable person . she 's a very reasonable person . and she does n't think that he did it . she thinks that he 's cured . and unlike you and mom , she actually had a chance to talk to him without all the preconceived judgments , and so have i . and i know that ben can be a kind , caring , gentle , compassionate person . rafe : do you ? ciara : yeah . rafe : how about your cousin abigail ? can she be a kind , gentle , caring person ? ciara : of course . rafe : yeah . well , she 's in the grip of a very serious mental illness . ciara : yeah , and no one blames her for that . rafe : right . i blame the person that pushed her over the edge . ciara : okay , that 's not fair , rafe . rafe : no ? ciara : no . rafe : well , my point is this . we thought abigail was cured . she 's not . she 's still sick . in fact , she just attacked my sister . so if a person like abigail relapses and has to be separated from her own children ... you really think that you 're safe in the arms of this guy ? [ dramatic music ] jj : [ stammering ] i 'm sorry for going off on you . i 've -- i 've just been a wreck about what my sister 's going through and , uh , especially since she ca n't see her kids . gabi : hey , i ... i totally understand . i mean , abigail 's made all these accusations against me , and i understand why people would be suspicious . but i swear to you , jj , i want her to get help so she can be with her kids . jj : yeah , well , charlotte 's not home yet . she 's still at the hospital . gabi : how 's she doing ? jj : uh , i do n't know . i tried to see her , but stefan wo n't let anyone in . but i 'll find a way to see my niece . i 'm actually -- i 'm going to the hospital now . gabi : oh . well , so am i. i 'm gon na go meet up with your aunt kayla . jj : everything okay ? gabi : yeah , i 've just , um -- just been a little stressed 'cause i 'm not really sleeping and i do n't have much of an appetite . it 's no big deal . i just thought maybe kayla would help . jj : yeah , i hope so too . hey , we 're gon na get through this together . all right , come on . stefan : [ sighs ] i 'd , uh -- i 'd sing to you , but i - i do n't want to damage those perfect little ears of yours . i was gon na buy -- buy you some books , but you -- you came too early , so i really did n't have a chance to get any . sorry about that . no one read to me when i was a kid , so i - i just want to make sure that i do that with you every single day . yeah . so , uh ... guess i could tell you a story . yeah ? okay . once upon a time , there was this beautiful princess named charlotte , who was interrupted . who let you in ? i was very specific i did n't want visitors and their disgusting germs in here . kate : i washed my hands . stefan : you 'll never wash the blood of my mother off those hands . again , how did you get in here ? kate : well , like you , i have influence with the board , and the dimera name can still open doors . stefan : yeah . so i suppose you , too , are here to berate me for taking an innocent child away from her mother . kate : no . actually , i think abigail is exactly where she needs to be right now . so is charlotte . she really is a beautiful little baby . must take after her mother . she certainly does n't resemble you . stefan : what do you want , kate ? kate : i 'm family . i want to visit with my late husband 's niece . stefan : what do you really want ? kate : nothing . stefan : ha . kate : which reminds me , how 's ted laurent ? ted : i would not have come here if i did n't think you would be willing to make a deal . and i know you 're not always a by - the - book kind of cop . hope : what does that mean ? [ cell phone ringing ] ted : don't . ignore it . the clock is ticking . hope : it 's my husband . ted : i said ignore it . jj : you know what ? i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na run down to the gift shop , get something for charlotte . gabi : well , good luck getting past stefan . jj : yeah , yeah , i 'm seeing my niece this time , whether he likes it or not . gabi : kayla , hi . i got your message . what 's up ? kayla : yes . i , um -- i wanted to talk to you about abigail . gabi : oh , yeah , what about abigail ? kayla : jj told me that she has , uh -- she 's made some pretty harsh accusations against you , claiming that you have orchestrated some elaborate plan to make it look like her did is back when it really is n't and that part of that plan involves drugging her . gabi : well , i mean , abigail 's more delusional , you know , these days , so ... kayla : well , after i spoke to jj , i remembered that i recently wrote you a prescription for sedatives . gabi : um , where are you going with this ? kayla : i 'll be frank , because i feel like i just need to ask . did you drug my niece ? stefan : we have n't discussed ted in ages . why are you asking me about him now ? kate : well , because everyone 's asking me about him and his mysterious disappearance . i want to make sure that it ca n't be traced back to anyone . stefan : nothing to worry about . i get regular updates from my security team . they 're keeping a , uh , very close eye on ted because , you know , if he were to escape , he could implicate us both in some very serious crimes . kate : well , if that were to happen , if he escaped , would you shoot first and ask questions later ? stefan : i 'd do whatever it takes . [ cell phone ringing ] hope : take your hands off me now , unless you want to get your ass kicked again . ted : i apologize . hope : why ca n't i answer my phone ? ted : you can not talk to your husband . detective hernandez will insist on playing by the rules , and he will try to put me in witness protection . hope : you 'd be safe . we 'd have you relocated in a matter of days . ted : days ? i 'd be whacked . i 'd be whacked by one of stefan 's goons . i 'd be dead by the morning . [ dramatic music ] rafe : hope , it 's me -- again . where are you ? will : your plan is crap . no one is gon na believe sonny married you for love . leo : mm , i do n't know about that . sonny and i were quite the hot couple when we first met . he was so into me . sonny : shut up . leo : i 'd watch my tone if i were you . remember , we 're crazy about each other . sonny : no . i hate you . leo : aw , i hated you too . that 's part of the narrative . sonny : what the hell are you even talking about ? leo : i am telling the story of our epic reconciliation . you and i were star- crossed lovers , yada yada . you dumped me , and i filed the lawsuit to retaliate . sonny : you 're a vengeful gold digger . why would i ever take you back ? leo : uh , because we 're in love , silly . ultimately , we decided it would be best for me to leave town for a while . the lawsuit would be dismissed . the scandal would die down . and then i would return to salem , apologize for my deeply misguided actions . sonny : and then i would kill you for real . leo : au contraire . not only would you forgive me . you would propose . and now that neither of us are working at titan , we 're free to live the rest of our lives in wedded bliss . sonny : i do n't think so . leo : allow me to rephrase . you can both end up broke , disgraced , and likely in prison , or you can marry me . either way , you lose will . the real question is , do you want to risk everything that ever mattered to you over a man that you ca n't have ? it 's a brand new morning kate : you know , i just have your word for it that ted is still alive . and even though he turned out not to be the man that i thought -- jj : bad time ? kate : no , not at all . i was just leaving . jj : thought you were n't allowing any visitors . stefan : i wasn't . jj : okay , well , you 're not kicking me out this time . charlotte is my niece , and if kate dimera 's -- stefan : yeah , yeah . relax . relax . i 've , uh -- i 've since changed my policy . jj : why ? stefan : because i know how important family is . see , i did n't have one growing up . so go ahead . have a look . [ soft music ] jj : what about abigail ? stefan : jj , the last thing i wanted was for charlotte to be separated from her mother . jj : yeah , but abigail ca n't take care of her right now . i 've heard the speech . still sucks . stefan : yeah . how is she ? how is your sister ? jj : she 's not very good . it 's torture for her , being away from her son , her little girl . stefan : yeah . for the record , i did n't want her committed . jj : then why did you let it happen ? stefan : because if i did n't , i would lose my child . you can understand that , ca n't you ? gabi : are you -- are you seriously accusing me of drugging my best friend ? kayla : when i gave you that prescription , you specifically mentioned the fact that it was the same thing that you used when you were carrying ari . you knew that it was safe to take while you were pregnant . gabi : you know why i need those sedatives . i 'm having nightmares from what happened to me in prison . kayla : i 'm sure you are . and i know you went through hell . and there might be a part of you that blames abigail for that . gabi : when abigail framed me , i knew that she was n't in her right mind , okay ? i could understand that . but how could you even consider that i - i would do something like this ? do you think that i 'm some sort of monster ? kayla : no , i do n't think that . but i do know the lengths that a person will go if they 're pushed too far . and sometimes good people do bad things . hope : i have no doubt that ben started that fire . and as much as i would love to nail him , i can't . the da wants me to move on . ted : wait , even if i bring you a confession ? hope : everything you 're asking me to do , it 's illegal . ted : well , nobody has to know . hope : i 'll know . okay , maybe i have bent the rules in the past , but not anymore . ted : you 're making a big mistake . hope : no . no . the mistake is deception . secrets , lies . i 'm not doing that , not to my husband . ted : what are you doing ? hope : i 'm calling rafe and i 'm telling him everything that you just told me . ted : [ sighs ] ciara : i 'm sorry about all that with rafe . ben : [ exhales forcefully ] he thinks you 're making the biggest mistake of your life . ciara : hmm . ben : wait till your mother finds out . ciara : well , i do n't care what they think . ben : ciara , it 's not just them . everybody in this town hates me . you get involved with me , they 're gon na hate you too . ciara : ben weston , are you trying to talk me out of having feelings for you ? ben : not even close . i just want you to know what you 're getting yourself into . i 'm a convicted murderer living in a homeless shelter because i ca n't get a job . ciara : and i 'm a rape survivor . i used to let the fear from that trauma stop me from getting close to people , but ... things can change . ben : so my past , it 's ... it 's not a deal - breaker ? ciara : no . but something else might be . what rafe said ... about the fire . ben : so we 're back there . ciara : i really want to trust you , ben . i really do . but it 's like , every time i start to , someone says something that plants a seed of doubt , and ... if we 're gon na be in a relationship , i ca n't keep doubting you . ben : so what do we do to get past this ? ciara : well , we have a connection . and when we kissed , it felt stronger than ever . ben : agreed . ciara : then look me in the eye and tell me you did not start that fire . do that now , and i promise i will never ask you ever again . with uncontrolled gabi : you 're right . yeah , sometimes good people do bad things . but i did not drug abigail . kayla : i 'm not accusing you , gabi . i just had some concerns that i wanted to discuss . gabi : okay . thank you . and i - i mean , i hope that you wo n't be discussing these concerns with anybody else .

[ scene_break ] nicole : damn it . that 's the company i was researching . if i 'm gon na prove to austin that i 'm a player and sami 's a zero , i got ta move fast . and sticking it to lucas will make it even sweeter . austin : you 're out of line . do n't walk away from me . listen to me . look , will you do me a favor ? will you just lay off nicole ? okay , like you , she is just trying to help . sami : austin , that is not true . all she wants to do is sink her manicured nails into you . she does n't care about this company , obviously , because she just wanted to get you to lease that office space so she could move in on you . austin : look . my decision about the loans , my gamble , my loss . sami : the only time you gambled and lost is when you hired nicole . i am the one who got us that contract . i 'm the one who said not to take out that office space , and you think she 's more qualified than me ? austin : no , i never said that . sami : well , austin , i 'm gon na warn you . getting involved with nicole could spell disaster , both personally and professionally . nicole : you 're wrong , sami . i have exactly what we need to get back in the game .

[ scene_break ] sami : come on , austin . please do n't tell me that you are going to listen to what she has to say . i mean , why give her another chance ? nicole : maybe because he gave you one ? or have you forgotten that you blabbed to lucas about our meeting with schnitzel ? look , if he can forgive that , he can forgive anything . austin : i want to hear what she has to say . nicole : thank you . now , look , i 've been thinking a lot about our situation , and we need to stop whining about losing the clear visage account and get back to work . austin : go on . nicole : all right , we still have those loans , right ? austin : right . nicole : you know that takeover target i was telling you about -- high style ? well , guess what ? lucas is planning to make a play for it , too , and we have to beat him to it .. if we can pull this off , we will regain the momentum from titan , and if we make an all - cash bid , i think we can get it . austin : could be . nicole : all right , so let 's use the money we borrowed to take over high style . this product line has just as much potential as clear visage , maybe even more . they just need an infusion of money and some marketing know - how . sami : austin , please do n't tell me you are buying this . this is just another one of nicole 's lame ideas . nicole : oh , you would n't know a good idea if it bit you in the butt . but austin does . so what 's it gon na be , austin ? are you gon na go for broke , or are you gon na listen to sami and give up ?

[ cell phone rings ] jennifer : oh . i 'm sorry . daniel : no , yeah . jennifer : oh , it 's abigail . i really need to take this . daniel : oh , go ahead , yeah . jennifer : i 'll be right back . okay . daniel : [ sighs ] caroline : hello . daniel : caroline ... it 's , uh -- it 's good to see you back home . kayla told me the treatment -- it worked for you . caroline : oh , god willing , i have a few good years left in me . daniel : i 'm sure you do . caroline : so what can i do for you ?

will : yeah . so come on , come back . please come back . sonny : i ca n't . i ca n't . i ca n't leave the coffee house for that long , okay ? will : okay . you promise you 're not mad at me ? sonny : you made a promise to keep a secret . i 'm not going to make you go back on your word , okay ? it 's just ... will : it 's what ? sonny : you know , i just ca n't imagine ever keeping anything from you ... no matter who was asking . gabi : marry you ? nick : all i 've ever wanted is to be part of a real family . gabi : nick , i love you . nick : [ chuckles ] gabi : and i know that you 'd be a great dad . but this is will 's baby . it 's sami 's grandkid and kate 's great - grandkid and ... i mean , what about rafe ? have you thought about how complicated things could get ? nick : but it does n't -- it does n't have to be complicated , because nobody knows that it 's will 's baby . and maybe there 's not really a reason that they have to know . you know what i mean ? caroline : i know how devastated you were when parker was taken away . and i could have prevented all of that heartache . daniel : caroline , um , that -- that is ancient history . and my life now , it 's -- it 's ... you know , it 's not so bad . i 'm actually on the verge of something that i 'm starting to feel really good about . i mean , i know there are no guarantees , but i 'm ... i find it nice to be looking forward instead of back . caroline : oh , i 'm sorry to bring up such painful memories . daniel : uh , caroline , can you please , please do me a favor ? please ? caroline : yes . daniel : um , i need you to know that i ... i do forgive you . and that is the god 's honest truth . gabi : i mean , we should just lie to everybody ? nick : well , whose business is it anyway ? i mean , this is your baby ... your call . gabi : it 's not just my baby . it 's will 's too . nick : yeah . but will 's with sonny . and this is going to be a huge complication for them . i mean , do n't you think that will would be really happy if someone would step up and take this problem off his hands ? gabi : it 's not a problem . it 's a baby . nick : exactly . but that 's the way that will sees it . i mean , he -- he drove you to an abortion clinic , gabi . do you really think he wants to raise this kid ? has he ever said to you that he would take care of you and be here for you and love this baby ? because i will do all of those things . would he ? will : hey , sonny ... come on , come on . come here . chad : ah , well , look who 's here . should n't you be holding gabi 's hand or letting her cry on your shoulder ? will : wow . chad , i 'm trying to talk to sonny right now . i think you might need to sleep this off . chad : and i 'm talking to you . what the hell was going on at gabi 's before , hmm ? i saw you , nick , and gabi all whispering and plotting about something . will : `` plotting `` ? i think -- who 's the dimera in this room ? okay , you want to know ? we were talking about you . whatever you said about gabi upset him -- upset nick . you wanted to get in his head -- chad : that 's not what the three of you were talking about . will : you have no idea what you 're talking about , so ... i just remembered that i got to go be somewhere . chad : how convenient . will : so , i want to -- can i find you later ? i 'm sorry . can we talk later ? sonny : it 's okay , yeah . will : okay . chad : yeah , we 'll talk too . will : yeah , when you 're sober and not acting like a complete idiot . chad : i 'm not the one acting like an idiot here . sonny : what is that supposed to mean ? chad : did you see how fast he bolted out of here when i mentioned gabi 's name ? there is something is going on here , and i 'm going to figure it out . kristen : father , i 've worked so hard to earn god 's forgiveness , and now ... father tobias : now what ? kristen : i do n't even know how to make this confession , father , because it 's not about something i 've done . it 's about something i 'm afraid i might do . father tobias : think of the ten commandments . `` thou shalt not covet thy neighbor 's house . `` `` thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor . `` kristen : yeah , ten commandments . uh ... father , what i 'm trying to say is that i 'm having these feelings . and now that i have them ... i 'm not sure i can fight them . father tobias : what feelings , my child ? hey sis , jennifer : oh , caroline , we have n't ordered yet . caroline : it 's on the house . jennifer : thank you . caroline : where did daniel disappear ? jennifer : he had a call from work that he had to take . caroline : oh , well , please tell him for me he 's never going to pay for another drink in this pub as long as i 'm running it . jennifer : caroline , that 's very sweet , but i do n't think that 's necessary . um , i have to admit , i heard the two of you talking , and what you said to him took a lot of courage . caroline : well , i 'm not sure it did . i know the kind of man daniel is . it was very generous of him to forgive me . jennifer : he 's , uh , one of the most generous people i 've ever met . caroline : he is . i agree . i hope he gets the happiness that he deserves . daniel : it was an accident ! jennifer : it is not your job ! daniel : yes , it is ! i want to protect you ! jennifer : why is it your job ?

[ coffee cup rattles ] chad : oh , and one more thing -- if i were you , i would find out what kind of secrets they 're keeping from you before it 's too late , huh ? sonny : wait a minute . hey , you got to tell me . what did gabi do ? nick : gabi , i know this is , like , a huge decision . and if you need more time to think about it , i totally ... totally understand . i just -- i do n't know how much time we actually have , you know ? gabi : i know . i just do n't want to say anything until i know how will feels . i mean , it 's his baby too . nick : sure . but i think you know what the answer is . gabi : nick , he tried to stop me from getting an abortion . i mean , and when he found out about the baby the first time , he even asked me to marry him . nick : well ... yeah , but , i mean ... that was because he knew it was the right thing to do , not because he 's in love with you . gabi : no . nick : and you said no because ... gabi : because it would ruin his life . nick : i love you , gabi . and i want to give you and this baby the best life possible . gabi : i ca n't believe that you 're being so sweet .

victor : only reason we have that damn cranberry concoction is because sonny likes it , and he does n't even show up . maggie : his mother is facing a major life decision . and depending on said decision , his parents might reconcile , so he decided to stay with them instead of his grumpy great - uncle . the lout . victor : choosing between justin and lucas is not an earth - changing decision . it a no - brainer . it 's like trying to choose between beirut and the bahamas for a fun weekend . maggie : victor just loves thanksgiving . it always brings out the best in him . philip : it 's easier to be mad at sonny than scared about brady . victor : oh , do n't try and analyze me . maggie : even if he 's right ? i 'm worried too . victor : he should be with his family . he 's grieving . not with a bunch of strangers . brady : so , did you save any turkey for us ? maggie : oh , brady ! i 'm so happy you 're here ! here . hi ! deimos : it 's good to see you , brady , and yes , there is still turkey . brady : good . philip : you okay ? brady : fine . yeah . fine . why would n't i be ? eduardo : you 're here . kate : where else would i be ? eduardo : well , you might be having thanksgiving dinner with your friends and family . kate : actually , i hate thanksgiving . i think it 's totally hypocritical to fake gratitude . eduardo : well , why would you fake it ? you have so much to be thankful for . you 're healthy . you 're rich . on your worst day , you 're drop - dead fine to look at -- kate : is that wine ? because i would be really grateful for that . eduardo : yeah , this is wine . this is a 1982 cab , and it 's for you , yeah . but do n't be thanking me , 'cause i would n't want to spoil your day . kate : well , i will thank you , and you just made my day considerably better . gabi : god knows i understand you 're worried about thomas . not a day goes by that i do n't think about arianna growing up without her father . chad : so it does n't get any better ? gabi : i did n't say that . but it is a fact of our lives that we have kids who have lost a parent at a very early age . and part of our job is to make sure that parent , you know , stays alive inside of our kids ' hearts . chad : yeah , that 's our job , or part of it , anyway , i guess . gabi : and you 're doing a really good job , chad . chad : thank you . and i thank god that thomas and i have you . jj : what the -- abigail : jj . jj : it 's you . it 's really you . how ?

kate : this time -- actually , it was kind of lame this time . no pornographic tapes . no semiautomatic weapons . just one really miserable ex - husband who came running in and asked for a second chance . eduardo : i 'm gon na have to get myself invited to one of these weddings . they sound fun . kate : [ laughs ] is n't that something ? your son actually arrested a groom and dragged him off to jail , but -- wait , no , that was at a reception . they were already married , so . eduardo : so , when the ex said , `` give me a second chance , `` she actually ran away with him and left lucas at the altar ? kate : yeah , i wish . but this is adrienne we 're talking about . adrienne `` i 'm gon na stick with this forever as long as i 'm the center of attention . `` i have every faith that lucas is gon na dodge that bleach - blonde bullet . eduardo : so how 'd you do it ?

kate : no . no . i 've just been around long enough to know when a couple 's gon na make it or not , and adrienne and lucas , they did n't have a chance . eduardo : what do you think our chances are ?

she 's only trying to help . brady : i do n't need help . that 's not what i need . actually , there is something . there is something you could do for me . maggie : anything . anything . brady : thank you . get rid of this crap for me , will you ? is it really so hard for everyone to understand that i do n't want to talk about theresa ? hmm ? how 's belle doing ? how is belle ? philip : point taken . maggie : brady , we saved some turkey . i could fix you a sandwich or heat up the gravy -- brady : no , maggie , thank you . i 'm not hungry right now , but i do want to talk to you gentlemen about a certain email that i found . i have some questions about the gdi account . philip : that 's been handled . brady : has it ?

brady : do n't . do n't . do n't patronize me . do n't do that . okay ? i just want to know why the hell we ceded the intellectual property rights when those patents had n't even been granted yet . that was a mistake . victor : brady , we 're not talking business now . deimos is right -- brady : i 'm sorry , is the man who 's retired , is he talking to me right now ? you have nothing to say about this . maggie : brady ! brady : i want to know why the action was taken on that account , and i want to know why the two of you went ahead without me . jj : mom ! jennifer : you need to listen to what i have to say . jj : mom , you do n't understand . jennifer : no , you do n't understand , and you need to keep your voice down right now . jj : mom . i saw abigail . jennifer : i know you did . in god 's name , why did you go in the attic ? jj : you knew ? you knew and you did n't tell me ? jennifer : i told you to keep your voice down . jj : why , so chad does n't hear ? so he does n't hear that his wife is n't dead ? that his son 's mother is n't dead ? i have to tell him . jennifer : no . no ! i am not gon na let you . i wo n't let you . my belly pain and constipation ? brady : you know , if i do n't get some answers soon , i 'm gon na start thinking that you guys intentionally went behind my back on this one . that email pretty much closed the deal , did n't it ? philip : okay . i think it 's clear brady feels we need to go over that email , and i 'm the one who wrote it , so how about giving us a little time alone ? brady : that 's sweet . you 're gon na take one for the team now . philip : i 'm just trying to do what you said you wanted , jerk . chad : so that 's weird , right ? gabi : yeah . yeah , jj was acting kind of strange . chad : yeah , so did jenn . gabi : i mean , it 's the first thanksgiving without abigail . they 're both pretty shaky , so . chad : i 'm glad you 're working things out with jj . yeah , you did n't have to forgive him . gabi : well , people did n't have to forgive me for the things i 've done . and being around julie definitely makes me grateful for the people i have . chad : should i go maybe check things out ? gabi : well , it looked like they needed to talk . in private . jj : why are you acting like this ? jennifer : shh . jj . jj : what the hell is going on , mom ? jennifer : so what 's going on is that your sister is holding on by a thread . yeah , she 's back , jj , but we could lose her again in a second . she 's this far . jj , she is this far . jj : it 's okay . jennifer : okay ? she is terrified of the real world , and she could just disappear again . she could completely disassociate . i ca n't lose her again . i can not . i ca n't do this again , jj . jj : it 's okay . jennifer : please . jj : it 's okay . mom , it 's good , i know , okay ? i can help . i know . you got to get it together . we have to go back in there . we have to take care of abigail . okay ? [ suspenseful music ] chad : is something wrong ? jj : no , everything 's fine . gabi : are you sure you 're okay ? is there anything we can help you with ? jennifer : no . no , i just -- i completely overreacted . there was a rat in the attic , and i 'm so afraid of rats , so . gabi : is jj afraid of rats too ? because you looked a little strange when you were coming down the stairs . chad : yeah , look , i ai n't afraid of no stinkin ' rats . i got it . let 's do this . jennifer : no . jj : no , she 's worried about the kids . why do n't you take them down to the festival ? i 'll catch up with you guys , you know , when i 've -- when i 've taken care of it . chad : well , how about -- how about you and gabi take the kids to the festival and you and i will go -- we 'll take care of this ? jj : it 's been a rough day . we need some time alone . chad : yeah , of course . gabi , why do n't we go get the kids , and we 'll take off ? gabi : yeah . jennifer : i 'm gon na go upstairs and tell abigail that everything 's gon na be okay . jj : not yet . we need to talk . kate : `` what are our chances ? `` hmm . i think it 's kind of like election night . you know , it 's -- it 's too early to call . eduardo : yeah . well , i know you have issues with us being business rivals . kate : i thought that we put that behind us . eduardo : well , i would ... [ cell phone ringing ] eduardo : certainly hope so . excuse me . i got to take this . it 's business . kate : ha - ha . eduardo : deimos . deimos : yeah , i just wanted you to know that your first shipment came through . not any problems from customs . eduardo : excellent . hopefully this is the beginning of a mutually beneficial partnership . deimos : well , if things keep going this smoothly , i do n't see why not . eduardo : thanks for letting me know . hope you 're having a pleasant thanksgiving , my man . deimos : let me tell you . there was one good thing about prison . no family holidays . kate : good news ? eduardo : yeah . yeah , i was gon na tell you about this anyway , but i 've aligned my company with titan . kate : so you 're in bed with the kiriakises . that 's not the bed i had pictured you in . deimos : brady 's wound pretty tight . victor : i decided to retire to a neutral corner . everything i say seems to push his buttons . deimos : yeah , you and everyone else . let 's hope philip can calm him down . victor : you know , before nicole left , she asked me to look after him . and i want to do that more than anything , but i always just seem to make things worse . he 's like a powder keg . you push the wrong button -- he could just blow up . brady : so you did just go behind my back . philip : i thought it was the right thing to do . deimos thought it was the right thing to do . it would 've been a two - to - one decision no matter what . brady : two to one . yeah , i can see where this triumvirate thing is going . philip : damn it , brady , you had other things on your mind . brady : you should 've asked for my input , philip , and you know it . philip : we do n't know how long that wait would 've been . we had to move . and it 's not like your track record with titan has ever been that great . brady : you stupid son of a bitch . philip : oh , i 'm sorry . brady : unbelievable . philip : instead of taking care of the company , deimos and i should 've dragged you off to a sweat lodge or to one of your meetings for a group hug or something . brady : shove it , philip . philip : oh , i 'm sorry , did i hurt your feelings ? brady : hey , hey , hey . philip : oh , i forgot . we 're all supposed to treat you with kid gloves . put up with your crap mood . put up with you treating maggie like crap . because she had the audacity to worry about you . brady : shut your mouth ! you do n't talk to me about maggie . philip : what can i talk to you about ? huh ? brady : you do n't get to talk about maggie ! philip : you do n't want us to even say theresa 's name . brady : no , i do n't want you to say her name 'cause it 's personal , philip . philip : not when it starts screwing with the company . brady : it 's not screwing with the company ! philip : it is ! brady : it has nothing to do with the company . philip : you are taking what she did you and tate out on us . and you do n't even care that we 're on your side . we 're here . we are not the ones who walked out on you . brady : who are -- i do n't even know who you -- no , better yet , who do you think you are ? who the hell do you think you are ? philip : a guy who 's willing to say the truth . brady : then say it ! philip : you and tate are way better off since that drug - addicted mess walked out on you . brady : that 's the truth ? philip : [ grunts ] [ yells ] [ grunts ] maggie : brady ! how could you ? deimos : what the hell is wrong with you ? philip : what 's wrong with me ? he 's the one who punched me . deimos : you were supposed to be calming him down . philip : well , that 's not gon na happen . he 's nuts . he needs a big , long time- out before he has anything to do with titan . brady : oh , you 'd love that , would n't you ? you 'd love that . so you can slide right in and take my place , right ? philip : okay , that 's paranoid . victor : damn it , i think i 'm gon na tie you both down till you behave . brady : you 're retired ! butt out . you 're retired . deimos : wait a minute ! i 'm not , all right ? i 'm the one in charge of titan , and victor is right . you two need to get it under control . now , you 're gon na work together whether you like it or not . brady : like hell i will . chad : [ clears throat ] so you 're , um , still thinking about jj ? gabi : you know , it 's not -- it 's not just jj , chad . the look on jennifer 's face when i said that he was up there in the attic , and then she practically just ran out of the room ? chad : yeah , you 're right . gabi : and , of course , yeah , the look on jj 's face . i do n't know , i think that there 's something going on . something that they really do n't want us to know about . jennifer : i just need to get to her . jj : first , you need to tell me why you did n't tell me . jennifer : i could n't tell you . jj : i thought she was dead ! jennifer : i know that . but i need to get to her . you do n't know what she 's like right now . jj : well , i would n't , would i ? i was so whacked - out , i almost lost gabi . jennifer : i know that . it killed me not to tell you . but she was afraid for anyone to know . jj : i 'm not anyone . i 'm her brother . jennifer : you 're right . and she could be running away right now , which is why i need to talk to her . jj : no , i do . jennifer : jj ! victor : knew i should n't have left those two alone . maggie : well , thank god you called marlena . maybe she can get through to him . victor : yeah , well , looks like we 're about to have yet another thanksgiving kiriakis fistfight . philip : brady is clearly off the rails . he punches me and it 's my fault ? deimos : yeah . it 's your fault . you were supposed to make things better , not worse . philip : that is not why you come down on me any chance you get . this is because i helped chloe out . deimos : oh , really ? you want to go there ? okay , fine . but why do n't we be a bit more specific , shall we ? you did n't just help chloe out . you helped chloe lie . you thought that she was carrying my child , and you believed that i had no right to know it . but you know something , philip ? at the end of the day , i let it go , which is why you 're still working at the company . and that 's exactly what you 're gon na do with brady . you 're gon na let go of your petty juvenile jealousy , you got that ? philip , do n't make me ask you again . philip : right . deimos : great . i knew you 'd see it my way . oh , look at the time . i have to call nicole . philip : no wonder you freaked out the day we got the results that showed deimos was n't the father . chloe : yeah , i finally realized that the only possible explanation was that this baby was nicole and daniel 's . deimos : yeah , i miss you too . you know , i ca n't believe that we missed out on our first thanksgiving together . how was my thanksgiving ? look , why do n't i fill you in on that when you get back , all right ? until then , au revoir , mon petit chou . tout à l'heure . bye . maggie : sounds like things are going well for you and nicole . deimos : yeah , thanks to you . maggie : me ? deimos : yeah . you 're the one that made me see things differently . encouraged me to give her another chance , and i 'm glad i did . so , big brother , is this how it is every thanksgiving ? victor : oh , no . sometimes , we do n't get along . deimos : great . you know , all those years in prison , i never imagined that holiday celebrations would be like this . victor : yes , well , you said you wanted a family . careful what you ask for . deimos : yeah . philip : you and tate are way better off since that drug - addicted mess walked out on you . brady : that 's the truth ? philip : [ grunts ] [ yells ] brady : [ sighs ] how 'd you find me ? marlena : victor was concerned . he had you followed . brady : surprised dad is n't with you . marlena : he 's out of town . he 's equally concerned . brady : well , i came here for some peace and quiet , marlena . marlena : all righty , then . i wo n't talk . i 'll listen . brady : how does this keep happening to me ? why do i keep making the same mistake over and over again ? really thought theresa was different . really did . and she was in trouble . she was in such trouble , and i did n't see it . marlena : this is not your fault . brady : no , i let her down . i let her down . i just could n't -- i was n't there for her . i could n't see the signs . i should 've seen the signs , of all people , right ? marlena : she did n't let you see it . she kept that from you . brady : we were married . i mean , we took vows . in our hearts , in our minds , we were married -- i mean , i was the one that thought we -- in my mind , in my heart , anyway . we were gon na have a big wedding in this church . now i know she did n't mean it . she did n't want it . i wanted it . i wanted . she did n't want it . i wanted the family . i wanted the wedding . it was all about me , and if i would 've taken a step back and maybe thought about what she wanted for a second , she might 've been -- she might still be here . she 's gone now . and she 's not coming back . philip : i 'm a jerk . maggie : recognizing the problem is the first step towards solving it . philip : i 'm really sorry i screwed up your thanksgiving . maggie : when i married into the kiriakis family , i knew that i was saying good - bye to the horton - style holidays . we serve eggnog . you serve arsenic . i know you were just trying to help brady , to get through to him . and i know you 're just as worried about him as everyone else . philip : you shatter every known stereotype of stepmothers . maggie : i also know you 're worried about something . a lot . anything you tell me goes no further . philip : it 's really creepy how you can see inside people . maggie : talk to me . philip : i feel guilty . i hate feeling guilty . maggie : guilty about what ? philip : chloe asked me to do something for her . maggie : pretend to be the baby 's father . philip : yeah . maggie , i think she 's playing with fire . i think this whole thing could end up hurting her , that baby , and a lot of other people . maggie : secrets and lies . lies and secrets . philip : yeah . but this is n't my secret to tell . eduardo : you know , i just wanted to be straight about it . i 've decided to use titan for shipping my merchandise into salem . kate : okay . but you never thought of giving dimera enterprises a chance to counteroffer ? eduardo : well , you know , it happened so quickly , and , frankly , the titan deal was too good to pass up . kate : well , i guess we 're adversaries . eduardo : i guess we are . kate : but on the other hand , i 've made a firm rule never to mix business and pleasure . eduardo : that 's a really good idea . of course , that does mean that there will be things that i wo n't be able to tell you . kate : same here . but , luckily , i 've never been one for pillow talk . eduardo : i wonder where all this talk about beds and pillows is leading . kate : i wonder . jj : abigail ? abigail . [ dramatic music ] eduardo : so what do you think ? thing to death ? kate : what thing ? eduardo : this thing . you know . kate : i thought you liked my banter . eduardo : i do . i like everything about you . i really do . brady : i wish i could hate her . wish that i could hate her , but i ca n't hate her , 'cause i still love her . how 'd she do that ? how did she get up and leave ? how did she leave her son ? she just walked away from her boy . it does n't make any sense to me . and i know there was something she was n't telling me . marlena : do you want your father to try and find her ? brady : no . no , she 's gone . and i have to accept it . i have to accept it . maggie : no . you ca n't break your promise to chloe . but you could tell her what you told me . you love her , do n't you ? philip : guess there 's always something about your first love . i 'd do anything for her . maggie : i know . philip : i just hope she 'll let me help her . nicole : i 'm gon na drip all over your beautiful carpet . i 'm sorry . deimos : oh , i do n't give a damn about that . did you call a tow truck ? nicole : yeah , i tried , but my phone died . deimos : look at you . you even carry off the drowned rat look . nicole : i 'm sure . deimos : my brother felt the need to brand me . he likes to express himself in blood , as i 'm sure you remember . nicole : yeah , i do . and it never made him right . [ thunder rumbling ] deimos : have i told you how much i love you ? nicole : god , deimos , you make me so happy . chad : so , what do you think is going on ? gabi : i do n't know . i do n't know , but let me tell you , jj does not react like that over a rat . chad : maybe he 's nervous . he knows how lucky he is that you gave him another chance . forgave him . gabi : chad , i wanted to tell you about -- i mean , last night , when -- chad : i kissed you ? gabi : we both know that it was mutual , but -- yeah , but now that i 'm back with jj , i was just kind of scared that it was gon na be awkward , but it 's not , right ? chad : not on my end . gabi : good . 'cause i do n't want to lose you as a friend . thank you for understanding . i love jj a lot . we 're gon na head out . we will see you soon . abigail : i had to know that you were alone . jj : you do n't have to worry . mom explained things . i wo n't tell anyone you 're here . abigail : thank you . jj : i just do n't get it . why ca n't you tell chad ? he still loves you so much . he would be over the moon to find out that you 're all right . abigail : no . he would not be over the moon , jj . jj : you 're wrong about that . abigail : no , i 'm not . i 'm not wrong . okay ? 'cause he 's moved on . with gabi . there . | maggie was worried that brady was n't reacting to theresa leaving him . brady snapped at maggie when she wanted to help him . victor told him about the way he spoke to maggie . jennifer noticed the way gabi and chad were talking to each other . jj saw abby in the attic and was happy to see her . she tried to tell him not to tell anyone , but he ran back downstairs . chad told jennifer that jj went to the attic . jennifer saw jj and took him outside . she did n't want him to tell chad that abby 's alive . brady snapped at deimos , philip , and victor because he was n't informed about a business deal . chad was glad that gabi decided to give jj another chance . jennifer told jj that abby was n't completely sane and did n't want to lose her again . chad wanted to know what was wrong with jennifer and jj . |

[ scene_break ] bo : got a list of the children under the age of 5 who were vaccinated in that town near the canadian border . billie : there are hundreds of names there . bo : no , more like thousands . this is going to take us forever going through this , comparing the health records to the birth certificates . billie : and are n't adoption papers sealed in family courts ? bo : yeah . you know what ? i 'll call judge fitzpatrick . when she hears that we were the victims of a dimera plot , i bet you she 'll do anything to bend these rules to help us find our baby . billie : hey , it 's worth a shot . the only thing she could do is say no , right ? bo : right . billie : thanks , bo . bo : yeah . [ scene_break ] hope : i know you 're right . once bo and billie find georgia , bo 's never going to want to be separated from his daughter again , and that 's completely understandable . that 's the kind of father bo is . but i also know him well enough that he would never leave his two sons . he loves shawn and zack . he loves me . he 's committed to our family , and he 'll be committed to georgia as well , but not to billie , not in the same way . jennifer : well , no , of course not , hope . hope : i 'm going to call bo again , see what time he 's coming home .

[ scene_break ] rafe : well , that was classy . obviously you do n't give a damn about these kids . ej : i do , rafe . you see , i think this whole situation will affect them positively . i 'm protecting them from a destructive and highly emotional mother . rafe : oh , yeah ? really ? ej : they 're very happy here . and in time , their mother and their brother and their sister will recede in their memories . rafe : `` will recede in '' -- where do you come up with this crap , ej ? ej : well , one moves on . see , i 'd imagine that ... you 're still in a tremendous amount of pain ... over the death of your sister . but in a few years ... that pain will lessen . and in time , you 'll get some perspective . rafe : is that a fact ? ej : nature helps us heal ... by making us forget . johnny and sydney will eventually forget about their mother . so i suppose maybe i should correct myself . it wo n't be so much that she is dead to them . it 's more ... well , it 'll be like she did n't exist at all . [ scene_break ] sami : you actually believe that , do n't you ? you think that sydney still loves you . nicole : oh , come on , deny it all you want , but it is the truth , sami , all right ? it 's in every childhood development book . i was first . so she and i have an irreversible bond . sami : you were first because you stole her from me . you kept my daughter from me . nicole : okay , but you did n't want her because she was ej 's baby . and she is everything i ever wanted . sami : do n't you ever say that to me again . i wanted her , and i wanted to protect her from ej . nicole : well , what do you think i 'm doing ? i 'm doing everything i can to protect her , which is why i 'm helping ej . sami : you are here because you could n't cut a deal with me . and so you came to ej . nicole : yeah , well , i can see now this is all about you . i forgot . for your information , mommy , i just wanted to spend time with sydney . she is everything i ever wanted . i do n't want sole possession of her , okay ? i just wanted to share . but you obviously ca n't do that , can you ? and now you have nothing . sami : i am not leaving here empty - handed . and if you think i am ... think again .

[ sighs ] i do n't know . could it be a bigger disaster ? stefan : [ laughing ] i ... i love this town . let me get this straight . you admit to assaulting me , and now you 're asking me for a job ? did you have a lobotomy while you were locked away ? ben : i only knocked you out because chad paid me . it 's nothing personal . stefan : no -- nothing personal ? well , great , that makes all the difference . shall we do it again ? ben : this , mr . dimera , can benefit both of us . i need work , and you need a new head of security . might i add , that was a very smart move , firing that last guy ? because if i had n't overpowered that big lunk , i would have never even gotten to you . stefan : that 's not the only reason i let him go . he allowed a , uh , very important asset to get away . ted : red wine . it 's what i missed the most when stefan had me locked up . hope : says a lot about you , ted . ted : so not only do you protect me . you also feed me . how lucky am i ? hope : it 's not about luck . this is about reciprocity . i hide you . i protect you . you get me the goods on ben . and the sooner , the better . i ca n't risk him getting any closer to my daughter . not to mention , i hate keeping secrets from rafe . rafe : suppose i should count my blessings . gabi : why 's that ? rafe : why 's that ? because , uh , you fit me into your schedule . gabi : [ laughs ] rafe : getting lunch with you is , uh , harder than getting face time with the pope . gabi : what ? no . do n't try to guilt - trip me , okay ? i 've just been dealing with a lot lately . rafe : yeah , i know that . that 's why , uh , i wanted us to get together -- so we could talk one - on - one . gabi : one - on - one ? that sounds serious . rafe : well , i would 've brought it up at thanksgiving , but , uh , certain things i did n't want to say in front of everyone . i 'm worried about you . gabi : okay , why are you worried , rafe ? rafe : well , i heard about your trip to bayview , how abigail attacked you . gabi : look , i , uh -- i appreciate your concern , big brother , but i 'm fine . the person we really need to be worried about is poor abigail . chad : abby ? [ dramatic music ] abby . will -- will you look at me , please ? i need to talk to you . please . [ tense music ] abigail : go ... away . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] rafe : you know , i got ta say , i was surprised when i heard that you went to visit abigail . gabi : why ? why would you be ? she 's my best friend . she 's in a mental institution again . it 's really , really sad , rafe . rafe : yeah , it is . except she blames you for landing her there . and jj and jennifer told me she thinks that you 're gaslighting her . gabi : that 's true . yeah , i was a little hurt but that , but i -- you know , i ca n't take anything that abigail says personally . i mean , she 's -- she 's completely out of her mind , obviously . rafe : mm - hmm . yeah . but still , these are pretty serious accusations . why did n't you tell me ? gabi : what , to waste your time ? no , they 're obviously not true . you know that , right ? chad : abby , i know you 're angry with me . [ dramatic music ] abigail : why would i be angry with you ? oh , you mean because you had me locked up here like an animal ? you separated me from my children ? no hard feelings . chad : it 's for your own good . abigail : it 's for my own good . you 're only trying to help . i 'm dangerous . no one wants me around . chad : you know that 's not how i feel . you know i want you around . abigail : as long as i 'm sane . but i am , in fact , sane . you chose to believe gabi hernandez , that vindictive , scheming liar , instead of me . so now here i am ... stuck in this hellhole , torn away from my children . how 'd you get in here , anyway ? you know , i 'm not supposed to have visitors in my special new room . chad : your mom worked it out for me . abigail : that 's right . that 's right , you two are plotting behind my back now . chad : we were worried about you . i 'm sorry that you 're struggling , i 'm sorry that it happened this way , but i 'm not sorry about what i did . i - i did the only thing that i knew how to do . abigail : [ scoffs softly ] i do n't want to hear any of this . none of it ! you can take your apology and go to hell . sonny : you expect us to believe that kate had anything to do with your little sexual harassment scam ? you all but admitted that vivian was the brains behind it . leo : i did , but if you recall , i also hinted that someone took over for her after she died . sonny : you never said it was kate . leo : well , i thought you would use your excellent powers of deduction to figure it out . i mean , who else would want to bring down titan ? will : the company has -- has lots of enemies . any one of them could have -- could have wanted to set sonny up . leo : true . and the family screwup is always an enticing target . but , will , come on . i mean , i may have fudged the truth once or twice in my life , but in this case , there 'd be no reason . will : no reason ? sonny thought he killed you , and you want revenge for that . and clearly you 're trying to -- trying to get that by -- by making things up and -- and stirring up trouble . leo : [ sighs ] okay , consider this . everyone thought my case was a slam dunk . your family initially made a generous offer that we refused . sonny : will you just get to the point ? leo : [ sighs ] the night you thought you killed me , i showed up here , desperate . i offered to marry you and drop the lawsuit . sonny : yeah , because you finally realized what a loser your case was . you got cold feet , and you did n't want to lose in court . leo : interesting theory , but no . it 's because kate wanted me to accept the settlement , and i refused . will : why would she do that ? leo : because , suddenly , bringing down titan was no longer in her best interest , not when her boy chad had just taken over the reins . [ dramatic music ] chad : why do n't you stop for a second and just let me explain ? abigail : no , do n't explain . do n't say anything , 'cause there is nothing you can say that will make me hate you any less , so just go . chad : you -- you think that i - i - i want you in here , abby ? is that what you think ? 'cause i - i hate this . abigail : get out . get out ! just go ! get out of here ! just go ! just go . [ sobbing ] chad : i stopped by the hospital earlier , and , uh , charlotte 's healthy . she 's doing fine . abigail : i know . jj told me . chad : right , well , i have some pictures and some videos of thomas . abigail : wait . show me . rafe : gabi , it 's just that , um ... sometimes when you talk about abigail , it seems to me like you still have a lot of resentment towards her . gabi : rafe , i 'm -- i 'm just not sure what you 're trying to say . do you believe that i 'm setting her up ? is that what it is ? rafe : i do n't want to believe it . gabi : oh , my god , you believe it . rafe : no , the -- gabi : rafe . okay , yes , obviously i was upset at abigail for what she did to me . rafe : mm - hmm . gabi : but after i got out of prison , i went up to her , and we resolved our issues . rafe : did you ? gabi : yeah . yes , i did , okay ? and even if i was still upset at her , i do n't understand how you could think that i would do this , that i 'm some sort of monster . how could you even consider this ? rafe : huh . look , i 'm sorry . gabi : trust me . rafe : okay ? gabi : please . abigail is locked up because of her mental illness , not because of anything that i did . stefan : i 'm impressed by your skill and ambition . ben : thank you . stefan : however , you have no real experience running a security team . [ clears throat ] ben : it 's true . i don't . but i 'm a quick learner . and having been locked up in various facilities ... i became very adept spotting weaknesses in the system . stefan : hmm . so you can exploit them in order to , uh , plan your escapes , yes ? ben : i like to call it having a keen eye for risk assessment . stefan : [ laughs ] ben : you do n't approve ? stefan : no , no , no , it 's not that . it 's -- it 's more about how you acquired it . come on , you have to admit , hiring a serial killer is a bit unorthodox , even for a guy like me . ben : well , i was n't in my right mind when i committed those murders . i had a psychotic break . but after a lot of therapy and a lot of hard work , i was given a clean bill of health by all my doctors . you can call them . you can verify . i check in regularly . i take my meds . dr. marlena evans herself stated that i am stable enough to return to society and try to make a life for myself . stefan : well , i - i think it 's safe to assume marlena said those things when she was advocating for your release . but since then , have n't you been accused of trying to kill commissioner brady 's daughter ? ben : i was . but i 'm innocent . you can ask ciara brady yourself . she 'll tell you that i would never , ever try to hurt her . she 's the only person in this town who took the time to realize that i 've changed . everyone else , mr . dimera , they still fear me . they hate me . and i get . i 've done terrible things in this town . but does n't everybody deserve a second chance ? managing my type 2 diabetes was n't my top priority . ben : it 's tough , man , being the town pariah . as soon as i got out of shady hills , the only thing i wanted to do was make up for my past and return to society . 99 % of people in this little town only see me as the necktie killer ... or the person that tormented abigail and drove her insane . stefan : yeah , i 've heard a little bit about that . ben : look , man , i know she 's your wife . and if that complicates things , hiring me -- stefan : she 's my wife in name only . and at the moment , she 's being treated at bayview . ben : i heard about that too . stefan : so i do n't foresee that being an issue . appreciate your honesty . ben : i did n't scare you off ? stefan : no . no , on the contrary , i ... can sort of relate to you . everyone in this town only thinks of me as the guy who took advantage of abigail , which , of course , was n't my intention . but , you know , people believe what they want , yes ? ben : yeah . you 're kind of a pariah too . stefan : i 'll tell you that i do n't get invited to very many dinner parties here . ben : well , then you understand why this job is so important to me . this is the only shot i have at getting my life back together , mr . dimera . i just need someone to give me a chance . i promise , you hire me , you will not be sorry . leo : now that chad was the head of titan , the last thing kate wanted was to see it fail . that bitch was totally gon na screw me over , and after all the hard work i put in . will : okay , okay . none of what you 're saying proves that kate was behind this . and now that i 'm thinking about it , it does n't even make sense , because she did n't even get to know ted until after the lawsuit was dropped . leo : [ laughs ] is that what she told you ? will : yes ! and -- and when ted was blackmailing us over your death , she was the one who -- who helped us out . leo : well , maybe she had a guilty conscience . wait , what is that about blackmail ? sonny : [ scoffs ] are you really gon na try to tell us that you did n't know about that ? leo : okay , you know what ? i think i 've answered enough of your annoying questions for the day . gon na get myself another drink . you boys want anything ? sonny : yeah , for you to fall off the face of the earth . leo : well , that 's not gon na happen , not this time . i 'm here to stay , fellas . [ tense music ] ted : [ sighs ] already smells wonderful . [ soft music ] rafe : to a lifetime of love ... and happiness . ted : hope ? hope : what ? ted : sorry , but ... you were staring into space . hope : i was -- i was thinking about my wedding to rafe . we had the ceremony here . ted : sounds romantic . hope : it was . it was very romantic . ted : till you found out he cheated on you with his ex - wife . hope : how did you know about that ? ted : well , i 'm a defense attorney . i spend a lot of time in the police station . people talk , especially when it involves the commissioner . hope : yeah , i do n't doubt that . ted : i was impressed how you were able to , uh , deal with all that . if it were me , i 'm kind of the jealous type . i do n't think i can forgive and forget . [ dramatic music ] rafe : i 'm sorry if i upset you . but , gabi ... gabi : `` but , gabi , `` what ? rafe : never mind . gabi : no , rafe , i know -- i know what you 're gon na say . you 're gon na say that because of my history that you could believe i would do something so extreme . you know , i resent that . rafe : you know , look . i said i was sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . gabi : kate ! hey . kate : hey , gabi . and rafe . rafe : kate . gabi : you know that my brother here , he , uh -- he thinks that i 'm a really terrible person ? rafe : no , i don't . gabi : yeah , you do . rafe : no , i don't . would you stop it ? gabi : yeah , he thinks that , uh , everybody that abigail is saying is true , that i 'm the one making it look like she 's nuts , that i 'm framing her . kate : rafe , come on . you do n't believe that . gabi : he does , actually . and i really need you to back me up , because you saw gabby , right ? gabby attacked kate . would you please tell him ? kate : it 's true . unfortunately abigail 's mental illness has returned . gabi : there you go . kate told you . i mean , you trust her , do n't you ? she would never lie to you . abigail : [ laughing softly ] oh , my sweet girl . chad : she has your smile . abigail : w - was this from h -- his ... was this , um -- chad : yeah , that 's from the , uh -- his birthday . we went to the park . it was just the two of us . abigail : [ gasps ] he must think i forgot . chad : no , he doesn't . he knows you wanted to be there . i told him . i just ... i just told him that you had to go away for a while , okay ? [ soft dramatic music ] abigail : did you tell him why ? did you tell him why i had to go away for a little while ? did you tell him ? did you tell him that it 's because of you that i had to go away ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it 's because of you that i am missing his birthday , that i am missing thanksgiving ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it is because of you that i am not there every night to tuck him in at night ... chad : stop . abigail : and tell him that i love him ? do n't tell me to stop . that i am not there to hold his baby sister in my arms ? did you tell him that ? did you tell him that it 's not my choice ? that i 'm not there because of you , hmm ? [ crying ] get me out of here , chad . just get me out of here , please . i am begging you , just get me out . my children , they need me , and i need them . just go and -- please , just -- just go and get me out of here . i 'm -- i 'm begging you . if you love me even a little bit , at all ... please just get me out of here . ted : et violà . hope : thank you . ted : go on . take a bite . so what do you think ? hope : delicious . ted : yes ! hope : hmm . so how are you gon na do it ? how do you plan on getting the confession out of ben ? ted : come on , it 's lunchtime . we can talk about something more pleasant . hope : no , we ca n't , because we have a deal , remember ? ted : all right , okay . so i was thinking ... ben is my client . if he confessed to me , it 's not gon na be admissible in court . hope : thought about that angle , and i have a solution . [ sly music ] ted : a satellite phone ? hope : mm - hmm , exactly . the reception out here is pretty unreliable . you can use this to get the confession . ted : and how does that help us ? in any case , i can not testify whatever he tells me . hope : correct . but say -- hypothetically , of course -- the police tapped your phone for some , say , unrelated matter and happened to stumble upon ben 's confession by accident . ted : i like how you think . [ dramatic music ] stefan : okay , i 'll give you a shot . the moment you give me a reason to distrust you , you 're through . ben : thank you . thank you very much . stefan : [ clears throat ] ben : and i promise you , you do not have to worry . i 'm gon na put my head down , i 'm gon na work my ass off , and i 'm gon na provide you with the best damn security you could ever want . stefan : yeah . well , at the very least , my enemies will think twice before messing with a serial killer . ben : reformed . stefan : yeah . they do n't have to know that . ben : i do like your style , mr . dimera . stefan : why , thank you . ben : [ sighs ] so , um ... what kind of benefits come with this job ? stefan : [ laughs ] benefits ? what , like , uh , medical insurance ? ben : no , i was thinking more along the lines of a place to stay ? i would never ask this , but i am staying at a homeless shelter . stefan : that 's not my problem . ben : i know it 's not your problem , but if i am on the premise , i can better protect you . stefan : you 're pushing it . ben : i know . i know . there 's this girl -- stefan : nah , here we go . ben : [ clears throat ] and if i 'm going to be with her , i need to have my life together and at least a place to stay . stefan : okay . but you 're paying rent , and it 's coming out of your salary . deal ? ben : deal . stefan : welcome to my world , mr . weston . rafe : well , i am sorry that i ever doubted you . i want you to know that i 'm always here for you if you need me . gabi : thank you , rafe . i love you . rafe : i love you too . i should get back to work . give ari a kiss for me , okay ? kate , good to see you , as always . kate : good to see you too . rafe : yeah . [ tense music ] kate : damn you , forcing me to lie to the police like that ? gabi : the police ? it 's just rafe , okay ? calm down . he 's not gon na arrest you for protecting his sister . kate : oh , really ? because stranger things have happened . so ... i heard that you visited abigail at bayview . gabi : yes , i needed to make sure that the doctors were convinced that she was nuts . i just gave her a little final push over the edge . kate : ah . and how did you provoke that attack ? gabi : very simple . i just told her the truth , that i 'm the one that set everything up . kate : are you insane ? chad : i want you -- i want you to come home . you know that . abigail : then get me out of here . chad : i - i - i can't . the last time i saw you , you had gabi up against the wall . you were trying to strangle her . abigail : because she admitted that she set me up . chad : come on . abigail : she told me that she wanted revenge . she told me that . she told me that she wanted everyone to think that i was crazy so that she would ruin my life the way that i have ruined hers . chad : why would she admit that ? abigail : because she wants everybody to think that i 'm crazy . she knows that nobody will believe me . she knows that . and you 're playing right into her hands . chad : you said that she had the wig on her . abigail : she did . chad : where ? i did n't -- i did n't -- i did n't s -- i did n't see it . there was no wig . how do you explain that ? abigail : obviously she hid it somehow . i mean , c -- no , i ca n't -- i ca n't prove it . but you know what ? chad , i should n't have to , not with you . you love me . i should n't have to prove that . chad : yeah , you know i do . abigail : so then -- i mean , come on , why -- why -- why am i here ? with uncontrolled sonny : i hate to admit it , but everything that leo said about kate is ringing true . leo shows up here , desperate for me to marry him . if he 's telling the truth , that means kate nearly ruined my life , nearly ruined titan . and you know what ? she would 've done it . she would 've done it if chad had n't become ceo . will : do you think chad knew ? sonny : no , there 's no way he knew . he would never betray me like that . this is all kate . will : where you -- where you going ? sonny : where do you think i 'm going ? i 'm gon na go confront your grandmother . will : no . let me talk to her . if she did this to you , she 'll answer to me . [ tense music ] kate : i can not believe you were that foolish to confess to abigail . what if -- what happens when she decides that she needs to confide the truth to someone ? gabi : [ sighs ] kate , she 's -- no one 's gon na believe her because she 's crazy , remember ? kate : i suppose you threw me under the bus as well ? gabi : oh . yeah , i guess if abigail 's alter is n't real , then yeah , you lied . kate : great . that 's really great . gabi : you should have seen abigail 's face . okay , i took the gabby wig for dramatic effect , and it completely set her off . kate : i wonder why . gabi : oh , and then -- i mean , it was like i was lucky or something . chad walked in right when -- right when she attacked me . kate : did he see the wig ? gabi : oh , i was hiding it the whole time , but that was the best part , because you should 've seen abigail 's face when she could n't find the wig . it was like she went crazy . i mean , she 's gon na be stuck in that loony bin for a long time . kate : i suppose i could congratulate you on a mission accomplished , but instead you need to move on to the next phase , and that means telling chad the truth , telling him that he 's the father of the baby , not stefan . chad : abby ... i want to believe you . more than anything , i do . but i ca n't help but think about all those months that i had no idea that you split . a lot of people got hurt , and a lot of bad things happened . abigail : chad . hey , chad . look at me . chad , look at me . it 's me . it 's me . i 'm not ill . it 's me . chad : i 'm sorry . i can't . abigail : no . chad : for thomas and charlotte , i can't . abigail : then i guess there 's nothing i can do to change your mind . chad : you can , uh , get the help that you need . let the doctors help you . then when you 're integrated again , then you can come home and you can be with thomas and charlotte . abigail : just what makes you think you get to decide that for me , hmm ? chad : i 'm trying to help you . i love you . abigail : leave . get out . just -- just get out . i never want to see you again . just go . get out of here . no , just get out . orderly ! help ! help ! is there a problem here ? abigail : yes , he 's disturbing me . i want him to get out . time for you to go , sir . abigail : [ yells ] [ sobs ] [ breathing heavily ] leo : where 's your boyfriend ? sonny : out . leo : you know , once we 're married , i 'm not gon na let you and will humiliate me in front of all of salem . sonny : i think you 're forgetting one tiny little detail . i have n't agreed to marry you . leo : really , what choice do you have ? sonny : you 're a sadistic son of a bitch . leo : and you have a flair for the dramatic . honestly , i 'm not that bad . look , i 'll even take a little pressure off . i will give you 24 hours to make a decision . sonny : wow , you 're gon na give me a whole 24 hours ? leo : told you , i 'm a prince . but fair warning ? if i do n't end up with a ring on my finger , i 'm going to destroy you ... and the cute little twink too . [ dramatic music ] gabi : no , chad can not find out that charlotte is his daughter just yet . i need stefan to bond with that baby , and then i will destroy him . kate : well , i saw stefan yesterday , and he 's plenty bonded . gabi : kate , i need some time to figure out how this truth is gon na come out , okay , without implicating myself in the process . kate : just give me the original paternity papers . i 'll find a way to make sure that chad gets them . gabi : i burned them . kate : are you crazy ? gabi : what ? i just did n't think it was smart to have them lying around . kate : they 're still in the hospital system . you need to find a way to get into kayla 's computer and print them out . gabi : okay , well , that 's -- that 's a little complicated . kayla -- kayla knows about abigail 's suspicions . kate : are you sure ? gabi : yeah . she was questioning me about the , uh , sedatives that she prescribed for me , and she thinks i used them to drug abigail . kate : this just keeps getting better and better . [ sighs ] you should n't get so upset . everyone here is only trying to help you . abigail : no one 's trying to help me . i 'm alone . [ sighs ] wait . [ suspenseful music ] can you help me with something ? stefan : your first assignment is to locate my former attorney , a mr . ted laurent . ben : you got it . stefan : and i want this place to be a literal fortress by the time i bring my daughter home . is that clear ? ben : clear .

[ lock clicks ] stefan : abigail ? [ unsettling music ] abigail : no , baby . it 's me ... gabby . | rafe and gabi talked about whether she set abby up . gabi denied setting her up . abby yelled at chad for having her put in bayview . chad tried to explain why he had to do it . abby was upset because he believed gabi over her . he had pics of the kids . ben went to stefan for a job . stefan reminded him of what he did to abby . sonny and will could n't believe kate would be involved with ted . leo told them how she wanted to take titan down until chad worked there . gabi continued to deny the accusations until kate showed up . gabi stopped kate and had her prove she told the truth about abby . abby saw the pics of the kids and got mad at chad again . she did n't want to be away from her kids . |

[ scene_break ] sami : thank you . nicole : yes , you , sami . but highstyle has nothing to do with this , okay ? it is strictly business . sami : right -- austin 's business that you almost ruined , remember ? you talked him into taking out all those loans before we had the clear visage account . and then lucas stole it from us , so now we 're left buried in debt . it 'll be a miracle if we 're managing to dig our way out . nicole : which is why it is so important we take over highstyle . i thought even you would understand that . sami , we ca n't build a business without a product . the best way to use these loans is for us to acquire this company . sami : yeah , but how do we know that this company is really worth our while ? nicole : because i have done my research . but more to the point , i heard lucas telling victor that he was interested in highstyle , and victor was enthusiastic about it . so if titan is gunning after this company , you know they 're worth going after . but the key for us is to get to them before he and lucas . sami : because if titan gets there first -- nicole : yeah . otherwise , we ca n't compete with them . sami : nicole , i think this is a big mistake . in fact , should i say `` another big mistake `` ? nicole : you 're wrong , sami . or should i say `` you 're wrong again , as usual `` ? fortunately , austin agrees with me , as usual , which is why he is meeting with mickey as we speak . he knows as well as i do that this is our best hope -- our only hope . sami : well , what if it fails ? nicole : it wo n't . sami : but if it does , nicole , then we 're ruined , right ? nicole : sami , do n't you have anything better to do than stand here and be negative ? sami : yeah . as a matter of fact , i do , and it 's not too late . nicole : for what ? sami : i have to talk to lucas about will and school . i 'll be right back . nicole : fine . take your time 'cause i 'll be here working , and god knows i do n't need your help , not that you offered . sami : you 're right . i did n't . you want to know why ? because i do n't want to be anywhere near it so that you ca n't blame me when it tanks .

[ scene_break ] stefano : katherine ... told samantha ? ej : i imagine she thought she was right . you and i , of course , know she was wrong . stefano : she would not do that . ej : why ? because she 's a devoted wife , father ? because she loves you so much ? once a hooker , always a hooker . she certainly knows how to fake it . stefano : shut the hell up . ej : i do n't think i could stain her honor if i tried . stefano : [ knocking on table ] you enjoy mocking me on this , huh ? i , who have backed you up after one disastrous mistake after another . i chose you above everyone else . all right ? and you think that this is funny ? ej : what i think , father , is that there need to be consequences for kate . stefano : it 's my decision . mine only . ej : well , do n't forget . she betrayed you just as much as she betrayed me . stefano : elvis ... i do not have to be reminded of that .

when she gave you permission to take arianna out of the state , you made some promises to her . when was the last time you sent her photographs ? will : dad said he was going to bring some over to her . marlena : i said , `` when was the last time you sent her photographs ? `` when was the last time that you had a video chat that included gabi and arianna ? will : you do n't know the pressure i 'm under , grandma . these people expect so much more from me than i ever thought . marlena : can you even compare that to the pressure of trying to get through a day in prison ? will : no . marlena : look , will , nobody begrudges you your success . we 're all very happy for you . but do you realize the only thing keeping gabi sane in that place is news of her daughter . will : i 'll take care of that right now . thanks , grandma . i got to run . tad : i do n't think it 's a state secret . i asked sonny this morning what he 's heard from will , and he said nothing . adrienne : so they have n't spoken ?

melanie : are you feeling sorry for him ? abigail : what ? no , no , not -- not exactly . melanie : abby , i thought you were clear how you felt . abigail : i am . i totally am . melanie : but ? abigail : but i do n't know . when chad first got back to salem , he was furious at me for sleeping with ej . melanie : well , ej manipulated you . abigail : no , he did n't . that 's -- that 's not true . i never blamed ej for what happened with us . i was stupid , and chad had every right to be angry with me -- i mean , for the rest of his life , if he wanted to . melanie : why are you talking in past tense ? abigail : because he -- things changed , and i do n't know if it was maybe ej getting killed or what , but chad -- he 's done some good things lately . melanie : [ scoffs ] like what ? abigail : like getting me my job back at the university hospital . i mean , my god , mel , that was incredible . sami had me blackballed for life practically , and chad fixed that . melanie : so he did something nice . abigail : yeah , he did . melanie : okay , then you really need to watch your back , because i feel like the only time chad is nice anymore is when he wants something . chad : i know what i 'm doing , father . i do not need another lecture about kate . stefano : did you know that she is seeing a man named clyde weston ? chad : yes , i know all about him . stefano : [ laughs ] i doubt that very much . anyway , i am still digging up information , see ? he is a two - bit thug dressed up like a country bumpkin . chad : [ chuckles ] yeah , that 's him . stefano : he shows up out of nowhere , all right ? and is connected to your new girlfriend . chad : i would n't jump the gun on that one . stefano : and his son is dating your ex abigail . chad : yes , i know . i am paying attention . stefano : [ chuckles ] have you thought this through , huh ? what this could do to your plan ? chad : i promise . i 've got this . stefano : if jordan finds out that you are just using her , then ... chad : that wo n't happen . listen , father , i have to go , but i 'll be in touch with you soon . jordan : oh , thank you for coming . ben : yeah , sorry . i just got your message . it sounded serious . jordan : yeah , it is . i just found out that kate roberts is the one that brought clyde to salem . ben : you 're kidding me . jordan : nope , and now they have become inseparable . adrienne : thank you . i am so relieved . normally , everybody just looks at me like i 'm the nosy busybody . lucas : wait a minute . you think that 's what i am ? adrienne : do n't you want to jump in and tell will to get on it ? lucas : no , i do n't . okay , maybe a little , i do , but it 's the last thing he wants -- his parents in the middle of his marriage like that . adrienne : i agree . but no one wants to watch a train wreck in slow motion and do nothing to stop it either . and , yes , they 're in love , but they 're still kids -- married kids . do you know what that 's like ? do you know how many ways you can screw that up ? 'cause i do . lucas : well , would you listen to anyone ? adrienne : maybe ... if the right person said something in just the right way . lucas : it 's painful how obvious you 're being right now . you know that , right ? adrienne : i have no shame , especially when it works . so you gon na find out what 's going on with will ?

[ somber piano music ] and maybe theo wo n't be able to hear our prayers , but i know that he will be able to feel our love , and hopefully that will give him the strength that he needs to come back to us . i 'd like to start things off with a moment of silence . jj : i have ruined the lives of so many people i care about . gabi : you made a split - second decision . jj , look at me . you 've probably heard it so many times since it happened , but i do n't think it 's fully registered . you did not mean to hurt theo . jj : but i did . i 'm the reason theo is lying in that hospital bed .

[ laughs ] but by god ... by god , he went out there , he forced himself to look people in the eyes , he shook hands , he wrote this great speech , he made about 200 campaign posters . i mean , like i said , he was just determined , and i -- i 'm just so proud to say that theo carver was elected to the salem high student council two years in a row . [ laughter ] and even more importantly ... i 'm so proud to say he was my boy .

philip : so you 're telling me that my mother and your uncle roman somehow had two kids together and did n't find you until yesterday ? shawn - d : right . philip : and not just any kids , either . we 're talking cassie and rex -- the two genetically engineered aliens from dimera land ? nobody has a clue how this happened , and nobody bothered to tell me . but now my half - sister is dead , and everyone thinks , what , my mom did it ? shawn - d : all right , i 'm sorry . phil , if you did n't find out it 's 'cause everyone 's still in shock trying to take it all in . i 'm sorry . philip : oh , my god . rex is my half - brother . [ scene_break ] john : i 'm going to go see if tek needs any help and try to find out exactly what the story is on kate . it seems that all the evidence is purely circumstantial . i ca n't believe that she would 've done this . you okay ? marlena : look at rex . he 's devastated . you do n't think he could 've killed his own sister , do you ? john : you would n't think so . marlena : john , i - i promised to protect them . john : look , stop . stop . you ca n't blame yourself . marlena : they 're not my flesh and blood , but i ... i carried them . i gave birth to them . i ca n't believe someone that i -- that i loved is capable of killing someone . sami : mom , john , it 's too bad you had to cut your romantic getaway short . lucas : when can i see my mother ? john : as soon as the police finish questioning her . lucas : they said we had to stick around here . marlena : why ? john : because tek said that sami and lucas were the first ones on the scene when the body was found . marlena : so , are they witnesses , or are they suspects ? [ scene_break ] mimi : rex , i know you must be in so much pain right now , and the last thing you need is having people think that your mother 's guilty . this , for sure , has to take you off the hook . rex : look , i told you , kate roberts means nothing to me . she 's just a mass of poor quality dna . mimi : why do you hate her so much ? she did n't give you up . she never even knew about you and cassie . i overheard roman say that cassie figured out who the murderer was . she said that the truth would hurt a lot of people . and i know that you 've been putting clues together yourself , and you and cassie had that twin thing -- that connection -- so if cassie knew who the killer is , do you think kate could really be guilty ? [ scene_break ] roman : all right , officer ruez , thank you . i 'll handle it from here all right . forensics is analyzing the knife to see if it 's the murder weapon . also , the blood we took from your hands -- see if it matches cassie 's . now , look , kate , i know lucas got a call in to your attorney . kate : cameron 's not going to be here . she 's stuck in traffic . roman : all right , fine . fine , by the time she gets here , maybe we 'll have something concrete from csi . in the meantime , if you want to keep up that silent routine you 've been giving officer ruez -- kate : i 'm not hiding anything . i just wanted to be the one to tell you -- roman : tell me what ? kate : that i do n't have any idea what happened to cassie . roman : you know what , kate ? i 'm sorry , but i have a real hard time believing you , that you have no idea how you wind up in salem place just a few feet away from cassie , holding a knife covered in blood . kate : well , i do n't . roman : all right . all right , let me get this straight . are you saying you do n't remember being in salem place ? did you black out ? do you think maybe you 'd been drugged ? kate : no . no . no , i was walking through the mall and -- and something fell or was tossed in front of me , so i - i bent down and i saw it was a knife . and i do n't know -- there were so many children around . they were playing with that pinata my maternal instincts -- they just kicked in , and i bent down , i picked it up , and i grabbed it before they could . and then i - i looked at it more closely , and i - i saw that it was smeared with blood , and some of it got on me . roman : kate , you were wandering around . you looked like you were dazed . why did n't you come forward right away and explain what happened ? kate : roman , i had never seen so much blood before . those children -- they were standing there . they were waiting for the treats to come tumbling out of that -- out of that piñata , and then -- then the body came down and the screams -- and then i saw that -- i saw it was cassie . we had just found out yesterday that was our child . then how could she be dead ? i could n't think . i just could n't move . and my daughter 's blood -- how could you think that i would hurt my own child , our child ? you know i could n't do a thing like that . roman : kate . as a man who loves you very much , yes , i can say i believe you . but as a cop , i also know that cassie was going to name the serial killer . kate : i did n't know that , roman . do n't you understand ? i did n't know that . i did n't know that she called the police . i did n't even talk to her today . i am not the person who killed abe or jack or maggie or your mother . do you really think that i 'm that kind of monster ? kate : what are you doing ? where are you going ? roman : i 'm going to call sami . kate : oh . roman : and i 'm also going to call lucas , because they were at the scene . and if what you say is true , if that 's the way it happened , then they 're the next best suspects . [ scene_break ] john : sami and lucas are just witnesses ... for now . so , samantha , what were you doing at the mall today ? lucas : yeah , what were you doing ? you 're supposed to be at home , making a nice family dinner . sami : i was going to the bakery to get a pie , which is what half of salem was doing if they 're not shopping for holiday sales . and i do n't see the police questioning any of them . lucas : that 's cause no one else tried to stir up a lynch mob against my mom , sami . sami : look , lucas -- marlena : what ? john : apparently , sami created a disturbance , trying to whip up public sentiment against kate . sami : next you 're going to say that i was trying to divert suspicion away from myself . the problem with your little scheme , john , is that no one else suspects me except you . sami : mom , what 's wrong ? marlena : i ca n't take this anymore . john : your mother almost died . she does n't need you manufacturing any more stress . marlena : it is n't about sami . sami : what ? you 're crying over cassie , mom ? she was n't even your real daughter . john : biology is n't everything . sami : right , you loved me like your own blah , blah , blah . marlena : sami , she was your half - sister . now she 's dead . do n't you even care ? [ cellular phone rings ] john : john black . roman : john , this is roman . how is everything over there ? john : pretty gruesome . what do you need ? roman : you still got lucas and sami , i hope . john : right here . roman : all right . bring 'em in for questioning . john : i 'll personally escort them myself . we 're going to the station . sami : wait a second . there 's no way you 're going to pin this on me . john : on orders from your father . let 's go . lucas : this is ridiculous . i ca n't believe this . john : calling your attorney , lucas ? lucas : i 'm supposed to pick my son up from a football game . hoping jose 's parents can do it . mimi : rex , why are you looking at john that way ? rex : i do n't know who 's guilty , mimi . i do n't know anything anymore . it 's like a part of me is gone , and all of a sudden i just -- i ca n't think . tek : we 're just about ready to wrap things up here , john . marlena : i need to talk to rex -- rex : that 's my sister . you 're not taking her anywhere . you 're not touching her . marlena : there 's nothing more that can be done . rex : look , i said no ! marlena : oh , my gosh ! john ! john , be careful ! marlena : john , please , please . no , no , rex ! john : it 's over ! marlena : honey ! shawn - d : all right , that 's it ! that 's it . john : get up , kid . marlena : rex , nobody wants to hurt you , honey . it 's okay . rex : nothing is okay . what were you going to do to my sister , huh ? you 're not a cop . why are you even on this case ? sami : that 's a good question . rex : you 've hated cassie and me since the day we came to salem . and you know why ? because we 're too much like you , john . we 're a constant reminder that stefano dimera hijacked our lives and molded us into what he wanted us to be . john : kinda makes you wonder why i care so much , does n't it ? do n't you want to know what happened to your sister ? i know the police want to know the truth . shawn - d : rex does n't want an autopsy . he does n't want the truth to come out . rex : no . you were going to put her in a drawer . cassie spent most of her life like that -- like a rat in a cage . and she hated being locked up . i mean , do you even know how much she hated needles ? and now you want to cut her open and -- marlena : rex , they ca n't hurt her anymore , honey . she ca n't feel anything . that -- is n't cassie over there . that is n't your sister . cassie -- rex : what , what , what , what , in a better place ? what -- heaven ? sami : more like hell . rex : no , because if you ca n't see it and you ca n't prove it exists , then how the hell can it possibly be real ? cassie is my twin sister -- the other half of me -- and i just ca n't feel her anymore , all right ? she 's gone . marlena : rex , my twin sister was murdered , too . i know how much that hurts . i understand that . i can tell you that , honey , you will go on . you will go on somehow . because you have to . shawn - d : tell me this . if rex could read cassie 's mind and she knew who the murderer is , then why does n't he know ? mimi : rex did n't do this , shawn , and we have proof . mimi : rex showed this to me a few minutes ago . it 's a message cassie sent to him this morning . john : `` rex , i know who the killer is . i know how they planted maggie horton 's blood on your sweatshirt to frame you for the murders . i love you , rex , and i know that you 're completely innocent . i have to make sure that this killer is exposed and stopped even if exposing this killer 's identity will destroy so many lives . but i do n't have a choice . for once i know i 'm doing the right thing , and protecting you is the most important thing to me . love , cassie , your sister . `` mimi : rex did n't get it until it was too late . cassie was already dead . shawn - d : oh ... [ scoffs ] rex probably planted that message to make somebody else look guilty , 'cause he knew cassie -- since she could read his mind -- was going to go to the cops and rat him out . john : tek , check this out . maybe we 'll get lucky and find out what the hell really happened . [ scene_break ] philip : do you believe all this ? lucas : no , man . i thought our family was screwed - up before ... now mom , sami , and i are lead suspects 'cause we were here when it happened . philip : what , and not rex ? lucas : i do n't know . he must 've came in after , i guess . maybe he was here , and we just did n't see him . philip : we could say the same for tony . tony : well , happy thanksgiving . john : do n't tell me a dimera showed up for a thanksgiving day sale . tony : well , dear god , do n't tell me there 's been another murder . why , who is it this time ? rex : cassie . my sister . how could this have happened ? [ scene_break ] officer ruez : here 's the forensic report , commander . roman : all right , thanks . kate : well ? roman : the blood 's a match , which , i got ta say , does n't really surprise me . kate : so cassie 's blood -- my daughter 's blood -- was on my hands . roman : there are no fingerprints on the knife , except yours . kate : so the killer was wearing gloves . that does n't really surprise you , does it ? roman : yeah . but all the same , kate , you probably should n't say anything more until cameron gets here . because now we are almost certainly looking at first- degree murder charges . [ scene_break ] tony : how could this happen ? why did n't somebody call me ? tek : we only notified next of kin . you 're not next of kin . tony : this is my son ! and that was my daughter . rex : i 'm so glad you 're here . tony : i 'm sorry , rex . if only i 'd known . john : apparently , cassie had some information on the serial killings . she was on her way to share it with the police . tony : she did n't make it there ? john : is that your first question ? not `` what happened ? `` `` how was she killed ? `` `` did she suffer ? `` you want to know if she squealed to the police ? tony : you know , if i 'd been at the house , she might 've come to see me , damn it . but i 'm tony dimera . i 'm supposed to stop this . john : not the way i see it . the fact is , cassie lived in the dimera mansion . if she had information about the murders , where the hell do you think she got it ? marlena : john , please -- john : no , no . cassie and rex -- they perpetrated a fraud on you , tony . they took your money , and they pretended to be your beloved children , long after they knew the truth . and you said it best -- you 're tony dimera . what dimera worth his salt would ever put up with that , right ? tony : we do n't have to listen to this . let 's go . rex : i 'm not leaving cassie . tek : we 're taking her to the morgue . rex : look , you ca n't let them do this . sami : what do you want with a dead body , creep ? tony : listen , rex , the police need to know the truth . the autopsy 's not going to be any worse than what she 's already been through . we have to know the truth . it 's going to be okay . and what about you ? have you rounded anyone yet ? any more suspects ? or is all the money still on me ? john : we 're questioning kate roberts , as we speak . and i 'm getting ready to take in lucas and sami right now . sami , lucas , let 's go . marlena : i think i should stay here with rex . rex : no , you know what ? go with sami . you 're not my mother . and i do n't want you here playing shrink . john : she 's just trying to help . rex : i did n't ask for help . john : listen , the dimeras are responsible for every bad thing that ever happened to you and your sister since you were designed . and you have a once- in - a - lifetime chance right now to claim your heritage as a brady . most people would give their right arm for something like that . rex : so you 're saying if i become a righteous brady , then i 'm off the suspect list ? huh , john ? okay , then i 'm rex brady . am i free to go now ? no . of course not . just look . here 's a brady . and god knows you do n't think she 's squeaky clean . sami : get off . rex : you know what ? i had a sister , and neither you or any brady will ever take her place . i choose to be a dimera , and i will be forever ! what do i need you in my life for ? you 'll be dead soon enough , anyway . john : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? rex : the killer 's already tried to poison her once . the killer will never stop , and the next time , he or she will succeed . tony : oh , my god . rex : why do n't you just go home ? there 's nothing you can do for me right now . mimi : i do n't want to leave you when you 're this upset . tony : mimi , would you get us some tea ? i 'd just like to have a word with my son . mimi : sure , i 'll be right back . tony : thank you . rex , um , did cassie tell you what she was going to tell the police ? rex : no . i know that 's why she was killed , because of what she knew . it 's just i never dreamed it would be cassie . tony : okay , but one good thing will come out of this dark and tragic day . and that is you made a conscious decision to be a dimera . and you know what that means ? you 'll get your revenge . i promise you that . sami : dad . dad , i 'm so sorry about cassie , but john said that you 're the one who told us to get hauled down here ? roman : yeah . i need your statements , and i 'm going to turn you over to crime lab . they need to go over your persons , your clothing , for trace evidence . lucas : what ? roman : blood . sami : are we , um , are lucas and i going in together ? roman : no , separately . go ahead , take their statements . lucas : wait , wait , wait . how 's my mom , and when can i see her ? roman : later . john : i 'm going to get you home so you can get some rest . marlena : i want to stay here for sami . john : doc , you almost died yesterday . you 're not 100 % . now , i know you 're not going to admit it , but what rex said at salem place shook you up . roman : wait a minute . what did rex say ? john : he said that marlena was going to be the next victim . roman : rex said that ? john : yeah , but , roman , look , remember what he said last night at the pub ? he said that you or bo or hope were going to be the next victim , he sure as hell did n't ring any bells about his sister , did he ? roman : yeah , well , he 's either a very bad psychic , or he 's very clever -- gets us looking one direction , and he goes another . john : yeah , and as far as the killer targeting marlena before , i mean , come on , anybody could 've eaten that poisoned dip at the pub last night . doc was just unlucky enough to be the first one to try it . marlena : and hope was almost poisoned . thank goodness bo came along when he did . john : yeah , besides , neither one of them pose any threat to the killer because neither one of them can i.d . the killer . and rex was just upset about his sister . that 's why he was lashing out . roman : you okay , doc ? marlena : mm - hmm . may i see kate ? roman : no , sorry . no visitors . you know what ? no . on second thought , kate needs a friend . she 'll talk to you . please go in . thank you . i 'm going to give marlena full police protection 24/7 . if that 's all right with you . john : she 'll never go for it . roman : well , thank god she 's got you -- a trained fighting machine . and i do say that with all affection and gratitude . john : do n't worry about doc , roman . nothing 's going to happen to her . [ scene_break ] rex : damn those righteous people . i lost my twin sister , and they go hurling off accusations on both of us . you know , if it was n't for shawn putting so much pressure on me , this never would 've happened . tony : wait a moment . what do you mean ? rex : well , i would n't have been falsely imprisoned , and i would 've figured out the truth before cassie did . she would never have been harmed . but you 're right . i 'll get my revenge . somebody is going to pay . [ scene_break ] shawn - d : i got ta get going . i told my family i 'd be back , like , 10 hours ago with dessert . although , half of them are probably going to be at the police station , and i 'll probably have dinner there , too . philip : yeah . shawn - d : what about you ? what are you going to do ? philip : i was going to head back to the base , but now i think i 'm going to stick around so i can visit my mom . to learn that you have a daughter and then lose her in 24 hours , and then to be falsely accused of murder on top of that ... shawn - d : i wish i had gotten to know cassie a little bit better . i just wonder if she was happy ever in her life . philip : i ca n't believe she 's gone . shawn - d : i know . she was on our side , phil . that 's why she was murdered . she wanted the killer caught . philip : you know , belle always said you have the best heart of anybody she knows . she also said that 's what gets you into trouble . shawn - d : why -- why is everyone talking about jan lately ? i do n't get that . philip : what ? i did n't say anything about jan . shawn - d : oh , okay , well , all right , once you said it , it just reminded me of that , that 's all . philip : wait a second . i thought she was long gone . in europe , right ? shawn - d : yeah , i think so . philip : well , are n't you worried she 's going to run into belle ? shawn - d : no , europe 's a big place . philip : yeah , true . shawn - d : just as long as i never see her again , we 'll be okay .

justin : so how about a movie ? kayla : you do n't mind ? justin : no , no , no , no . look , adrienne and i ran in the turkey trot every year . you and steve watched football . so maybe you and i should start a thanksgiving tradition all our own . kayla : sounds good . all right , what kind of movie do you like ?

justin : are you sure you 're ready for this ? kayla : i do n't know , but i 'm willing to try it . what do you think ? justin : what do you think i think ? john : oh , abraham , you really think that celeste could use her psychic powers to tell us whether or not stefano has crossed to the other side ? abe : well , we all know she has a gift . so why not ask her to try ? john : i do n't know , because maybe it 's not all that scientific ? all right , but what else do we have to lose , right ? abe : i 'll give her a call on my way home . marlena : thank you . abe : yeah . my pleasure . good night you two . john : good night , abraham , and good luck . abe : yeah , yeah . john : a psychic ? really ? marlena : do n't start making a whole big deal about this . okay , i understand . i would just do about anything to know for sure if stefano is dead or alive . john : yeah , me too . but i think we know from our own bitter experience that if he is dead , the phoenix always rises from the ashes .

eric : i 'm helping nicole , just like i would help anybody else in trouble . sami : she 's not anybody else . she 's the first woman you were ever with . she was your first love . and i do n't think that just disappeared with that collar . gabi : look , i know it sucks to think about lying to your child and everybody else . but what alternative do we have ? i mean , imagine what your life could be . imagine what would happen with sonny . will : i think he 'll understand . i mean , it 's not like we were -- like he and i were together when this whole thing happened . gabi : no . no , but we 've been lying to him for a long time . will : you know , i think he could get over that . gabi : could he get over knowing that you 're committed to raising this child for the next 20 years ? could he deal with that ? will : i do n't know . gabi : how would this -- how would this even work ? i mean , would this kid go back and forth between us ? is that -- ? will : no . gabi : will , i care about you . okay , you know that . but you also know that we ca n't raise this child living together because there are thousands of reasons why that would never work . will : yeah , i 'm beginning to see why that would be a nightmare . gabi : and what if sonny leaves when he finds out the truth ? will : this -- gabi : could you accept that ? will : this is n't about me , gabi . gabi : i know . i know that . god , do you know how lucky i am ? look , i have this man that loves me and knows the truth about this baby and still wants to raise it as his own . will : what happens to that acceptance if i go public as the father , hmm ? and he ca n't raise it as his own ? do you think he 's still gon na want to be involved ? gabi : i do n't know . will : okay , so you could lose nick . gabi : and you could lose sonny . will : i guess our baby bounces back and forth , like you said . gabi : maybe it would n't be like that . will : yeah . trust me , it is . that 's exactly how i grew up . brady : [ sighs ] [ door opens ] billie : welcome home , mama . kate : baby , hi . billie : hi , honey . ooh ! hi , marlena . marlena : hi , honey . billie : i just saw john at the salem inn . marlena : oh . billie : yeah , i said hi , but i do n't think he heard me . marlena : well , he 's been awfully busy lately . you know , and i actually have to run myself . billie : but -- kate : do you have to rush off ?

[ laughs ] oh , nicole , you got ta come and take a look at this . oh , you would n't believe how these two horny bastards are going -- are going at each other ! look at this . it 's like deep throat meets the bells of st. mary 's . come on , seriously . how hot is that ? ah , come on ! take a look ! i mean , the guy is up to his collar in a sex scandal . you ca n't keep trying to protect him if you 're gon na cover this damn story , okay ? nicole : i ca n't . i 'm too close to it . miles : this is exactly why we want you . you 're the one that can get him to talk . do n't you understand ? trust me , this priest right here , he is ripe for it . when this goes national , oh , man , think about it . your reputation , everything -- nicole : maybe you did n't hear me . i 'm not doing it ! no ! miles : the hell kind of attitude is that ? if you 're crazy enough to not want to cover a story like this , maybe you just ought to quit . nicole : maybe i will . you know what ? forget maybe . i do . eric : you know this video going viral is the worst thing that could have happened . brady : you think so , captain obvious ?

sonny : no , i 'm doing this because you 're my friend . oh ! okay . rafe : jordan ? jordan , please . okay , you 're upset , i get that . but i just thought -- jordan : something like that will absolutely not happen again . rafe : okay , all right . i hear you , but i just -- jordan : i 'm your therapist . rafe : and a friend . jordan : i 'm a professional . friendship is secondary . you know what ? i should apologize because i should have seen it happening , and made sure -- rafe : there 's no need to apologize for what just happened . jordan : yes , i do . i - i know better and i 've been trained better . rafe : okay , but if you feel like you did something wrong -- jordan : feelings are n't important . what matters is that i behave in a professional manner with every patient at all times , and i should have never taken advantage of a patient 's condition . rafe : whoa . you did not take advantage of me . i mean , i kind of wish you would have , but , um ... can i just say that that was , like , the best 15 seconds that i have had in a hell of a long time ? all right ? jordan : okay . you do n't understand . you see , it is natural for a patient to become attached to the person helping them . gratitude gets mixed with a deeper emotion and -- rafe : okay , all right . i am grateful , yes . i 'm grateful for the kiss . actually , it was two kisses , not that i am counting . but , um ... what i felt , what i feel ... it has nothing to do with gratitude . can i ask you something ? hmm ? i mean , you said this was never gon na happen again . jordan : absolutely not . rafe : right , because you 're my therapist . jordan : and a professional . rafe : right . so what about when you 're not my therapist anymore ? kate : nope . everything 's fine . ej : really ? kate : yep . ej : things did n't look fine from where i was standing . kate : so what did you see ? ej : i saw a woman who 's extremely frustrated with her laptop . kate : you can say that again . we did some research for a new campaign . it was so ... disappointing . ej : oh , i can imagine . the ups and downs of the cosmetics world , eh ? one moment , you have the euphoria of discovering some new formula , and the next minute ... kate : the disappointment of having someone steal it . ej : darling , you 're not still obsessing over that , are you ? i thought we 'd established i did not steal anything . kate : yeah , i just -- i just think that we should end this conversation right here before it gets ugly , you know ? ej : well , uh , i do n't wish you to worry because i 'm sure that things could be much , much worse . kate : thank you , love . ta - ta . ej : yes . i suspect there 's been some sort of disaster over at mad world . would you do me a favor and look into it ? see if we can take advantage . what the hell does that have to do with samantha ? will : wow , i did n't realize you were such a news junkie . what 's going on ? gabi ? hello ? gabi : um , did somebody call while i was asleep ? will : mm - hmm . my grandma did , yeah . gabi : kate ? will : yeah . gabi : oh , what did she say ? will : nothing really . she was just checking in , wondering how you were doing and stuff , making sure you 're okay . actually , i 'm worried about that myself . is everything ... all right ? gabi : no . brady : do you really think that with what 's out there right now on the internet , circling around for everyone to gawk at , that we can just go back to where we were ? really ? just like that , we 're gon na be best buds again ? we can -- water under the bridge ? is that what you think ? eric : brady , what happened is not my fault . it 's not yours . kristen did this to us . brady : [ sighs ] eric : what ? you do n't think it 's that way ? brady : you know what i think , eric ? i think you 're like annie . i think you think the sun always comes out tomorrow and you 've been brainwashed to believe it . eric : brainwashed ? brady : but with what 's going on the internet right now , you ca n't just shake hands and patch things up . it does n't work that way . eric : but i was n't brainwashed , brady . brady : sorry . you were n't brainwashed . it 's a bad choice of words . how about this ? your newfound calling ... eric : do n't . brady : you are so optimistic these days , you just think the glass is half full all the time , that god has a plan , god has a way , he 'll take care of everything . i do n't buy it ! eric : brady , do n't do this . do n't trivialize my faith or my beliefs . brady : okay , i 'm sorry . eric : no , i do n't think you really are . brady : no , i am really sorry . eric : i think you feel like you can just mock me or just lash out at me . brady : i 'm just calling it as i see it , eric . eric : oh , really ? so now you 're just making me your scapegoat for your pain and humiliation ? kate : hello , sami . yeah , you 're right . i am upset . oh , and let me thank you for telling me to check out the flash drive that nick gave me . why ? because it turned out to be a killer virus , that 's why . yeah , you 're right about that . believe me , if gabi had n't killed nick already , i 'd do it myself . no , i have n't -- i have n't talked to gabi . last time i checked , she was asleep , which i think is a good thing . at least she 's calmed down . no , i know . believe me , i am going to have a long talk with our pretty friend . she has to realize that what happened to nick needs to remain a secret . will : please do n't tell me you 've changed your mind about new york . gabi : what ? no . i 'm not going . that 's over . you know that . will : okay . is that why you 're upset ? listen , i know you gave up a lot for us , and we really do appreciate the -- gabi : no , it 's not -- it 's not that , okay ? it 's just i have a -- my brain 's kind of on pause . i did n't get much sleep last night . will : okay . you know what , listen . i think if you talk to my mom -- i could do it . i could talk to grandma or my mom and maybe they can use you as a model in their campaigns . you know , it 's not -- gabi : is that why kate called ? can you just tell me exactly what she said , please ? will : sure . she did n't say anything . um , `` hello . what 's up ? how 's gabi ? how 's the baby ? good - bye . `` gabi : okay , i got ta go see rafe . will : did n't you tell him that you were n't gon na go to new york last night ? gabi : oh , god . can you just please drop the whole modeling thing , okay ? i 'm not going , and i just have other things on my mind . aah ! i got ta go see rafe . brady : you are so determined through your condescending piety and devoutness to not get what is really at the core here . and the core of this is that our lives are never gon na be the same , man . you ca n't rise above something like this through prayer , which is something i 'm sure you 've done a lot of in the last couple days , but it 's not gon na fix it , all right ? eric : yeah , well , i understand that kristen broke your heart . you know , what she did was profoundly hurtful and degrading . but this did n't happen once . it happened twice . brady : where are you going with this ? am i to blame ? am i to blame for this ? eric : brady , i warned you about this . everyone warned you about this . and did you listen ? no , you did n't . you just let your own selfish desires take control and look what that got you . brady : are you done ? eric : that 's the one thing you do n't seem to grasp . for me , it will never be done . you know , being a priest is not just my life . it 's not just my job . it 's who i am . and now when people see that , they will only see filth , even if they know what happened . they will see filth . kristen did that to me and you could have prevented it . rafe : i 'm just saying . once you 're not my strictly professional therapist , all bets are off , right ? jordan : well , i am your therapist . rafe : i could fire you . jordan : you 're incorrigible . rafe : that 's one of my best qualities . let 's get this straight . shall we ? i am not going to be ... in this damn chair much longer . and when i 'm out of it , i 'm gon na call you . jordan : well , we should n't project into the future right now . rafe : mmm , okay . i 'll take that as a positive maybe . [ cell phone rings ] yeah , sis , what 's up ? gabi : hey , um , i really need to talk to you in person . so are you at the hospital ? i can meet you there . rafe : all right , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , calm down . whatever it is , we 'll fix this , okay ? i 'm actually leaving the park right now . you want to meet me at club tbd ? gabi : yeah , yeah , i 'll meet you there . i have to tell rafe what we did . nicole : that 's it . i 'm done , i quit . easy come , easy go .

what modeling thing is this ? will : oh , you do n't know ? apparently -- i mean , well , this is what happened . big modeling agency offered gabi a job , wanted to make her a huge star , but she would have to move to new york . ej : and take the baby with her ? will : yes . so sonny and i started talking about moving to new york as well , and i 'm sure , you know , mom freaked out about that . ej : i do n't know why she would n't mention that to me , though . will : um , maybe 'cause it 's all settled ? gabi changed her mind and everything 's back to normal . ej : not for your mother . rafe : gabi , gabi , come on . you know you can tell me anything , right ? no matter what . just tell me . obviously something 's eating you up . tad : there you go . rafe : thank you . tad : and what can i get you , gabi ? did you decide ? i bet you with skin that perfect , she never does chocolate . i should go over here . rafe : yeah . good idea . tell me . kate : hey . sonny : hey . kate : here it is . i spent enough time with arianna . i wanted to give will a chance to write . sonny : i know . well , thank you very much . kate : you 're welcome . sonny : uh , t ?

it 's urgent . and if you see the bishop , can you have him contact me ? thanks . dawn : father eric ! eric : dawn , hi . how are you ? dawn : you were n't at school this morning . eric : yeah , i could n't be there today . dawn : you lost your collar . eric : actually , honey , i ... i was n't there because i 'm taking a little time off . taking time to think about things , you know ?

kristen : do you know what the best part of loving you is ? it 's knowing that you love me too . and that 's why i 'm happy now , and i 'm always gon na be happy . brady : she made it right here in this room . kristen : by the time you see this dvd , i will be in peru ... having my meeting with roberto . but i 'm only gon na be thinking about you . brady : she made it before i surprised her about the honeymoon . kristen : and of course , i 'll be flashing my wedding ring to everybody and telling them all about mi esposo nuevo , the most wonderful man in the world , who , when everybody was against us , believed in me , trusted in me ... loved me . i can promise you that as soon as that meeting is over , i will be on the first flight out of lima , back home to you , my husband ... my man ... my love ... so we can start our new lives together . ej : you know , i ran into gabi earlier this morning . she seemed a little tense . will : she woke up that way . ej : she told me she spoke to your mother yesterday . i wonder if it 's something your mother said that made her that way . will : you never know with mom . she does know how to push gabi 's buttons , though . ej : oh , well . i would n't worry about it . it 's probably nothing . i will let you get back to your writing , dear boy . will : okay , thank you . ej : thank you . will : all right . ej : what are you up to , samantha ? kate : well , if you 'll excuse me , i 'm going to talk to gabi . jordan : actually , gabi asked to speak to rafe alone , so maybe we should respect that . okay . if this is about the modeling thing in new york -- all right , because if you have changed your mind -- gabi : no , it 's not . it 's not that . that 's over , done . rafe : oh , good . that 's great , 'cause a lot of people were really upset about that . gabi : it 's something worse . much worse . it 's about nick . miles : what are you doing back here ? i thought you quit . nicole : i reconsidered . i 'm gon na cover the father eric story . miles : gr -- great . great ! great . mr. gorman : you 're a disgrace . you do n't deserve to be a priest . and if you ever come near my little child or anyone in my family again , i will personally make sure to run you right out of town . eric : hey , mr. gorman , i was just try -- mr. gorman : just shut your damn mouth ! okay ? i do n't even want to see you . nobody does . so why do n't you do us all a favor and get the hell out of salem ? 'cause we do n't want your kind here , your filth ! eric : mr. gorman -- mr. gorman : i hope there 's a special place in hell for your kind . as far as i 'm concerned , you can go there right now . kristen : i can only hope that you miss me , brady , as much as i miss you , that you want me back home with you as much as i want toto there . you know ... normally , i would n't do this kind of thing . you know , you send an email or a text , you never know if somebody 's gon na intercept it , right ? but since i happen to know this is a hand - delivered dvd , well , i think i can tell you what i wish you were doing to me right now ... and ... what i know i 'm gon na do to you the second i get you alone ... because i want you as much as i know you want me , baby . i want you to touch me . i want you to kiss me ... any place you want . brady : [ grunts ] aah . aah ! | jordan was upset that rafe kissed her . rafe apologized and jordan warned him it would n't happen again . hope told brady and eric that someone recorded kristen with eric and it went viral . nicole found out from her producer that the footage of eric and kristen went viral . nicole 's producer wanted her to do the story on eric , but she refused . eric did n't want to lose his relationship with brady . jordan wanted her relationship with rafe to remain professional . ej heard kate reacting to something and offered to help . kate did n't want his help and walked away . gabi checked to see if there was any news about what happened to nick . will noticed that gabi was jumpy and asked if something was wrong . brady was n't ready to make up with eric . brady and eric ended up arguing over kristen . kate called sami and warned her that they had to keep what happened to nick a secret . eric reminded brady that everyone warned him not to be with kristen but he did n't listen . eric blamed brady for what happened to him . |

[ dramatic music ] sonny : how could you ? chad : it 's not what you think . sonny : what i think is that you were conspiring with kate to make sure that i went down in flames so you could take my job , use that power to go after your brother . chad : i did n't know kate was behind the lawsuit until after i had the job at titan . sonny : how long after ? chad : the day that i was hired . sonny : [ scoffs ] and you 've waited this long to tell me ? i heard from leo ! chad : i 'm sorry -- sonny : no ! no . all you had to do was speak up , chad . i 'd have gotten my job back , my reputation , and most importantly , my dignity . chad : then there 's a way i can fix this . sonny : no , it is done , because i do n't trust you , and i do n't believe you . gabi : i 'm gon na let the two of you work this out . will : gabi , wait . gabi : why ? will : [ sighs ] when i first got here , kate said something about the truth needing to come out . was she talking about the lawsuit ? did you know about that too ? gabi : no . no , no , i swear . it was -- i did n't know about that . will : then what were you talking about ?

[ tense music ] kate : i saw an opportunity , and i took it . will : an opportunity to destroy sonny . kate : no . the target was titan . will ... i was in this terrible place . i had just lost my husband , i 'd lost my position at dimera , and i thought , by bringing victor 's company to its knees ... [ sighs ] i could establish a new base of power . will : so the man i love was just collateral damage ? kate : the man you loved at the time was paul , and i did n't feel like i had any special obligation to sonny . will : sonny 's not just a random person . we share a child . i asked you point- blank if you had anything to do with the lawsuit , and grandma , you lied to my face .

sarah : no . just a theory . you know , they think that someone took mickey to try to extort money from xander and then they chickened out . ciara : yeah . yeah . that makes sense . sarah : yeah . now word 's getting out that xander is n't mickey 's biological father , so hopefully the threat to her is gone . ciara : yeah . i heard about that . sarah : kind of the elephant in the room at thanksgiving dinner , huh ? ciara : yeah , well , i 'd say that mickey really traded up in the dad department , you know ? sarah : it 's good that eric knows , i guess . but xander was a really loving father to her . i think that he found out something about himself when he was helping me take care of her . because there 's a really good guy in there . ciara : who knew ?

[ chuckles ] [ clears throat ] kate : rafe , sorry for interrupting , but i could n't help but see that gabi said something that upset you . rafe : yeah , of course i 'm upset . well , you should know this too . nick was manipulating her . he was trying to get back with gabi so that he could play house with her and arianna . gabi : that 's not all . when i found that out , i -- kate : you know , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . rafe : why are you sorry ? kate : well , because i -- i 'm sorry because i did n't say anything , you know ? rafe : why ? kate : well , gabi was so upset , and i was -- i was concerned about your health . rafe : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , hold on a second . why did you tell her and not me ? kate : no , do n't blame her . it 's not how it happened . i happened to just be in the square when it all went down . but you know what ? i think she probably left out -- the most important thing is that nick is gone . he 's gone to new york , so you wo n't have to worry about him anymore . rafe : is that why you did n't go to new york ? gabi : yes . i mean , no . [ sighs ] kate , i have to tell him everything , okay ? tad : how about a refill ? on the house . jordan : no , thanks . rafe : gabi . gabi : i just -- i - i - i ca n't believe that i just did -- i -- he was just so -- i was so upset -- kate : okay , you know , honey , i think it would be easier if i just told him what happened . nick and gabi rekindled . nicky and gabi had sex . rafe : oh , my -- what ? are you -- hold on a second . did he -- did he force himself on you ? gabi : no , no , no . kate : no , she was alone . she was alone , and she felt vulnerable , and nick did take advantage of that , you know ? and gabi expressed to me that she feels guilty because she feels like maybe she led him on , but i assured her that was not the case . she did absolutely nothing wrong , and she made it abundantly clear to him that it was over . rafe : he is so lucky that he is not here . i 'm telling you -- if i can get these newly rehabilitated hands on that scrawny , little neck -- kate : forget about it . forget about it . he 's gone . and you do n't want him to ruin another minute of your life ... or anyone else 's , for that matter . maggie : maybe i have been deluding myself these past two years , thinking that -- hmm , i do n't know -- i could change you ? no , i 'm just one in a long string of failures -- caroline , loretta , kate . why could n't i believe what everyone was telling me , that you have n't changed , that you 're unable to change ? victor : that 's not true . maggie : you 'll never say you 're sorry . victor : no , i wo n't , because i 'm not . maggie : and that breaks my heart ... because i am ... so , so sorry you did what you did ... and sorry ... [ sighs ] i wo n't be coming home . nicole : well , you seem to be handling this better than i thought you would . brady : boy , eric must 've , uh , given you hell , right , when you told him . nicole : [ scoffs ] it seems to be his favorite sport lately . brady : so is that all ? anything else ? nicole : uh , no . it 's not . brady , what happened here ? daniel : i was saying i thought you were poisoned from day one . i could corroborate your story . eric : how ? you have no medical evidence . i really appreciate how hard you 've been trying , but ... daniel : okay , i 'm sorry i pushed you so hard to remember what you wish you never had to know . eric : you were trying to help . you know it was gon na come out one way or another . [ sighs ] daniel : does n't everyone deserve to know the truth ? we have new information now . we know that kristen used some sort of drug to wipe out your memory of what happened that night and probably used some sort of masking agent to render it undetectable . eric : which worked , which is why you 'll never have proof . daniel : oh , you never say `` never . `` i have scaled back my hours at the hospital . i have some time to do some investigating . i will contact mason again , see if he has any ideas . i will go into specific drug classes . eric : do n't you think this is gon na end up down another dead - end road ? daniel : call it a blessing or a curse , but i never give up , and i am not giving up until i have proof to help you . ej : so we 'll see you later , okay ? theo : okay . abigail : hey , you know , theo , i found this incredible hill right by salem u , and i was thinking , as soon as it snows , maybe the two of us could go sledding , if it 's okay with your dad , of course . theo : can we , dad ? please , please ? abe : yes , yes , it sounds great . abigail : good . can i get a high five ? abe : okay . come on , let 's go . let 's put this on . abigail : bye . abe : [ laughs ] abigail : [ chuckles ] ej : he 's quite smitten with you . abigail : well , we spend a lot of time together . chad and i used to take him bowling , and then cameron and i would go to the arcades with him , so ... ej : he was telling me how much he misses his uncle . abigail : i am sure he does . and in case you 're wondering , i do n't . jordan : is everything all right over here ? kate : yeah , it was just a private thing . rafe : you gon na be okay ? kate : yes , she is , because i 'm going to take care of her . rafe : are you ? kate : yeah . rafe : okay . gabi : i love you , rafe . rafe : i love you too . mm . no more rekindling . kate : [ chuckles ] what the hell were you thinking ? ej : i know that what chad did was reprehensible , but ... i suppose , of course , you 've never made a mistake . abigail : a mistake ? ej : what , should one error in judgment define him ? does it make him a bad man ? abigail : no . it most certainly does n't . but that does n't mean that he 's the right man for me . ej : fair enough . abigail : i mean , look at you . you are great with children . theo absolutely loves you . i know you 've made plenty of mistakes in your life . does that mean that you 're not a bad man ? ej : no , my dear . i most definitely am a bad man . abigail : [ chuckles ] jordan : well , uh , my shift is done . so is there anything else you need before i leave ? rafe : no . no . i think you already went well above and beyond the call of duty today . jordan : [ sighs ] i am going to let you get yourself back in your room . rafe : well , okay . yes , i will . i know the drill -- 20 pull - ups . jordan : good . i 'll see you tomorrow . rafe : all right . i hope so . kayla : hey , rafe . just the man i was looking for . rafe : oh , yeah ? why is that ? kayla : i have some very good news . gabi : i just -- i just -- i can not lie like this to rafe . i ca n't . kate : you had absolutely no problem lying about the paternity of my grandson to the world -- gabi : i had a really big problem with that , okay ? and this is different because i killed a man . kate : your brother is a cop , all right ? so , if you involve him in this , you 're asking him either to commit a crime or send you away , which means throwing away your life and my life and sami 's life . gabi : i would n't bring you into it . kate : oh , really ? really ? because three questions in , you 'd be spilling everything . you ca n't say a word . gabi : why 'd you have to tell him that i slept with nick ? kate : because i thought it was preferable to telling him that you killed a guy . gabi : i do n't know . i just -- i do n't know how to live with this secret . kate : think of it this way . if you do n't , that means living without your beautiful daughter . if you do n't , that means your daughter lives without a mother . that happened to me . i do n't want to see that happen to you ... or to arianna . gabi : i ca n't live without her . kate : then keep your mouth shut , and that wo n't happen . do you understand ? good girl . okay . so , if you have anything you need to talk about , that you want to talk about , you call me . right ? gabi : mm - hmm . kate : okay . have a good day .

jj : where are you paige ? i do n't wan na give up seeing you . paige : which is why you do n't want your mom to know . jj : or anyone . and especially not yours . because she is doing a happy dance because she thinks we broke up . and if she knew that we got back together , paige she would say or do anything to keep us apart . eve : jj . what 's up ? paige : jj and i still have some stuff to work through . jennifer : okay . honey , i promised jj i would not interfere , but , i just have one thing that i really need to say . paige : okay . jennifer : i understand that , while i was away , you learned something really upsetting about jj 's father and it probably had to be very hard to hear , just as it was for jj to find out . but i want you to know something , that jj is his own person . and what his father did , years ago , it has nothing to do with who jj is right now . paige : i do know that . jennifer : okay , good . and i know that things seem really complicated right at this moment , but if you 're still deciding whether you want to see jj or not , i hope that you focus on the choices that he 's made and how much he really cares about you . jj : what are you doing here ? eve : i 'm just taking a walk , thinking about my future without music , without singing , wondering how i 'll atone for that horrible mistake you and i made when i was so vulnerable . jj : you and me both . eve : so what are you doing here ? are you alone ? or are you waiting for someone ? theresa : relax , i 'm just -- i 'm kidding . geez . hope : really ? theresa : i do n't know why men think that if they run out on you , you 'll just sit around waiting for them forever . you know , i do n't care if uncle bo 's out single - handedly saving the world , he never should 've disappeared on you like that . hope : theresa ! theresa ! since you seem to have so much free time on your hands , how would you like to help us distribute groceries ?

i have to go . eve : good luck with your exam . hope you pass . paige : i 've been so busy studying for finals i have n't had much time to think about anything else . actually , i was on my way to study with daphne , so -- jennifer : yeah , i mean , i wo n't keep you , i just want you to know how much you mean to jj , honey .

clyde : no thanks , i had my fill at the pub . hey , ben , i get the attitude . i 'm sure your sister 's told you all about kate by now . ben : you mean how she just so helpfully let you know that jordan and i were both here in salem ? yeah . so maybe now you can tell me something , if you 're really trying so hard to be a better person , why 'd you lie to us ? rafe : what are you talking about ? kate : you know what happened to you when you were in the coma . stefano sending bernardi to hurt you . that was all because of me . rafe : yeah , well we 've been through that . kate : when you regained consciousness , the doctors did n't know -- they did n't know whether you would ever walk again . rafe : yeah . kate : you were in very vulnerable place and i felt responsible for -- rafe : which you were n't . you were n't . kate : i was worried because the doctors wanted you -- they wanted you to work with a physical therapist , and i realized that that would be bringing in a total stranger who would have control over your life . and if that person was on stefano 's payroll -- i was n't gon na take that chance . rafe : okay . so what did you do ? kate : i went to kayla and i offered to pay the pt 's salary if they would let me bring in a therapist from the outside . rafe : so , you hired -- kate : jordan ridgeway . jordan : i was just thinking about a patient . abigail : oh , well , this will cheer you up , i saw chad a few minutes ago and he said the board meeting went really well . jordan : that 's great . abigail : but he thought the community outreach program was my idea , since i 'm in charge of the implementation phase . why did n't you tell him that it came from you ? jordan : i did n't want anyone to think that i was trying to influence the board . abigail : oh , well , i mean you are influencing one board member , though . jordan : and you do n't like that one bit , do you ? rafe : but you were jealous of jordan from the minute she got to town . kate : that 's not true . rafe : so why would you hire a single , gorgeous -- with a -- that 's right . that 's right , because when you read the name jordan , you thought that she was a he . i -- kate : my god , the fact that jordan ridgeway turned out to be a woman was not an issue . rafe : really ? kate : really . i was take aback , it 's not the person i thought it was going to be , but truthfully , from the very beginning , i did n't think she could be trusted . rafe : maybe it was just because you were jealous that we were getting so close . kate : okay , you do n't understand me , i had my private detective investigate her past . there was no past , no records on her prior to 2012 . so then i think , what , was stefano one step ahead of me the whole time ? rafe : okay , so you thought that stefano was paying jordan to , what -- to hurt me ? or even worse , to seduce me ? kate : i did n't know , okay , i did n't know . all i knew was that she was lying about her past and she had a secret , she had a secret that she was desperate to hide . rafe : okay , fine . then why did n't you come to me when you found this out ? kate : because i did n't know for sure ! i did n't have the proof ! and i did n't want you to think that i was going after jordan just because i wanted you back . rafe : were you ? hope : where 's chase and owen ? aiden : uh , i do n't know , but chase knows better than to walk away . hope : you know what , i think i saw them head off in that direction . aiden : okay . hope : i 'll go find them , okay ? aiden : all right , great . hope : you 'll be fine here , alone , few minutes , can you handle it ? aiden : i 'll be good . hope : okay , do n't eat anything . aiden : hey . lia : you got any cranberry sauce , the real kind . aiden : uh , i do have some cranberry sauce and it has your name on it . but , you 're gon na have to take it with some creamed corn because there 's a package deal . lia : i know you . chase : break time . owen : are we almost done , i wanted to go to the rink tonight . chase : you could text your mom , see if she 'll pick you up . owen : maybe you can come with me ? chase : my dad will make me stay till the end . he 's always going on about giving back because he was so poor when he was younger . owen : i 've been to your house , i thought you were , like , rich . chase : our money was our mom 's , we got it when she died . my dad , he had nothing . abigail : listen jordan , what goes on between you and chad is your business . you 're my friend , and if you think that chad has changed , then -- jordan : well i do n't really know what else he could do to prove to you and ben that he has , i mean he 's helped you guys so much since he 's been back . abigail : i know , but it 's just , you know -- jordan : well listen , just think what you want , okay abigail , but you do n't have to worry about me , but you 're wrong . clyde : you know why i came to salem , losin ' my kids was like losin ' my own life . kate came to me with news i 'd been waiting years to hear . i had no clues to what her motives were . ben : and what were her motives , clyde ? clyde : well , i think she felt responsible for protecting rafe . ben : from jordan ? clyde : it was n't till she found me that she realized jordan was n't a threat . by that time , i think she was too embarrassed to let anyone know she 'd gone that far . ben : yeah , i bet . clyde : and i was so grateful to find you two again , i just did n't want to say or do anything to screw that up . i 'm sorry i kept the truth from you . but do n't be mad at kate . she meant well . ben : why are you defending her ? clyde : i got ta admit , i 'm getting a bit of a sweet spot for her . ben : you know , she 's not from poplar bluff . if i were you , i 'd watch my back . kate : as you well know , i was the one who broke things off with you . i never had any illusion that what we had was in any way , about a commitment . rafe : clearly . but you sure have been committed to ruining jordan 's life . kate : when my detective found her stepfather , when he tracked him down , that was the first tangible lead we had . a link to her past , yes , i wanted to check it out to be sure . rafe : to be sure ? sure ? sure that what ? sure that jordan , the woman who got me back on my feet , who gave me my life back again , was n't a threat ? and it -- then you -- you turned around and you threatened her . oh , and for the record , your boy , clyde , he made both jordan and ben 's life miserable . but you know , now that that 's why you brought him back , so that you could make her life miserable again . kate : well , i 've seen chad and jordan together and she does n't look so miserable . rafe : then i guess all that money you spent to protect me did n't go to waste , 'cause at least now you 're getting laid by clyde . kate : i have work to do , i think you should go . rafe : do n't worry , i 'll go , and i 'll stay the hell away , i 'm just sorry that i did n't do that a long time ago . [ knocking on door ] theresa : what are you doing here ? jj : i came to see paige . theresa : oh , sorry , you just missed them . jj : well , when will they be back ? theresa : i have no idea , bye . owen : hey , there 's my mom , hockey here i come . chase : please , you ca n't tell my dad what you heard me say . hope : why not ? chase : he does n't like people to know , and my mom , she would make him feel bad . hope : about what ? chase : she 'd say that he `` did n't have a dime to his name when she married him . `` aiden : you know me ? forgive me , but i -- lia : you do n't know me , but i know what you did . you did a bad , bad thing . | rafe was shocked when he overheard jordan tell chad that kate slept with clyde . theresa talked to hope about no one believing that she was pregnant . aiden showed up so theresa used that an excuse to leave . jj was waiting to meet paige when eve showed up . eve reminded jj that they made a mistake being together . jordan told rafe that kate brought clyde to salem . jordan reminded rafe that he defended kate when she was responsible for clyde being in town . jj called paige and let her know that eve might know about them . eve told theresa that their father was going to have surgery . eve wanted to talk about something else . |

do n't you understand ? how can you ruin what 's already been destroyed ? abigail : no , ben . ben , your son needs to eat every two hours . he needs me . there 's no stores that are gon na be open for baby formula , and he will die . ben : come to your lover now . abigail : ben , listen to me . ben , no , stop it . ben : come to your lover now . let 's go ! abigail : no ! ben : that 's what you always wanted . this is just what you wanted . this is just what you wanted . sit still , abigail . chad : ben , the baby needs breast milk , or it 's gon na get sick . it 's gon na get sick if it does n't get its breast milk , okay ? ben : are you guys comparing notes ? that 's exactly what she just said . abigail : that 's because it 's true . ben : sit back , abigail . chad : stop . abigail : please do n't do this . ben , i love you . ben , please . do n't do this , ben , please . ben . ben : do not touch me . the baby will be fine . i will be fine . as you know , i am very good at disappearing . but you ... you will not be fine . can you believe this just happens to be sitting right here ? it 's meant to be . victor : wait . before you sign on the dotted line , are you absolutely sure ? brady : you told me i had to choose between theresa and you . i 've made up my mind ; i 'm not about to change it unless you have . victor : of course not . so now i guess it 's just a matter of time before you realize that you 've made a terrible mistake . brady : no , grandfather , it 's you that 's made the mistake . you 're too proud to admit it . you lost your temper because you 're in a bad place about what happened to bo . it 's understandable . but if you could just bring yourself to apologize to theresa -- victor : apologize to theresa ? for speaking the truth ? you think this is about my pride ? it 's about your lust . you 're throwing away everything just to have sex with -- brady : that is -- stop . that is not what this is about . i do n't want to discuss this with you . victor : you know , the most tragic part of this whole thing ? you think you 're actually falling in love with this -- this -- brady : do n't say it . victor : mark my words , this woman is gon na be your downfall . rafe : listen , i know that your heart is broken . but i promise you , your life is not destroyed . come on , you have so much to live for , so much to give . i really think after everything that happened , that it would really help if you talked to someone . hope : it wo n't . rafe : okay . how do you know until you 've tried ? what about marlena ? you could talk to her . maybe you could join a bereavement group . hope : no , no , no . this is my grief . it 's mine . i will not share it with anyone . is it not okay to be sad and angry ? is it not okay ? rafe : of course it 's okay , of course . you should be angry ; you should be sad , but -- hope : but what ? what ? rafe : you need to figure out a way , you know , with life , without -- hope : without ? without what ? say it . without acting like a crazy person , someone who 's insane ? i know what i need , rafe . i need to know who is responsible for bo 's death . i need to understand why . that is the only thing that is gon na help me , the only therapy that i need . and whatever ridiculous promise you made to bo to take care of me ... you 're officially absolved . rafe : you know , i did n't just make that promise to bo . i made it to you , because , well , hope , you 're my friend . you 're my partner . i care about you very much . hope : yeah , well , if that 's true , back the hell off , would you ? rafe : hope , would you wait a second ? hope : what ? rafe : if you 're going to walk out of here like this , then i 'm gon na need your gun . hope : you 're not my superior . rafe : roman , it 's rafe . listen , we 've got a big problem . brady : theresa is the mother of your great - grandson . victor : so ? brady : so i have an obligation to try to make this work . victor : were you raised by a single father ? did you turn out all right ? for the most part , yes , except for this lapse in judgment . brady : i was an addict living under my grandfather 's roof and his thumb . i 'm a father now , and i am done letting you control my life . victor : do you remember the last time you got in over your head with theresa ? do you remember the drugs , the drinking , the debauchery ? brady : yes , i do . and that was all on me , not her . victor : almost got your father killed . brady : i can understand how it would be hard for you to imagine that i could forgive something like that . hell , it 's hard to imagine people forgiving a lot of things , grandfather . i know why you 're doing this . i know it 's coming from a place of love , and you 're trying to protect me . but i need to live my own life . and right now , i think the only way for me to do that is to put some distance between you and me . so ... there you go . victor : well , then . good luck to you . you 're gon na need it . brady : i 'm really sorry that things had to end this way . victor : damn trollop . philip , call me as soon as you get this message . i need you to come back to salem right away . abigail : ben . ben . ben , listen to me . ben , i look at you , and i still see the man that i fell in love with . remember when we first met at tbd ? remember , you were so shy , because i was all dressed up ? ben , i remember when you -- when you said you loved me for the first time , and when you asked me to move in with you . i always felt like you were unlike any man i 've ever been with . you were so sweet and charming . and the more i got to know you , the more i fell in love with you every single day . ben , remember when you told me that you wanted to become a social worker so you could change the world and make it a better place ? what happened to that guy , hmm ? remember that guy , ben ? ben : that guy 's gone . you destroyed him . abigail : no , ben . ben : all i ever wanted was for you to love me . i gave you so many chances . we were gon na get married . we were gon na have a baby . things could n't have -- they could n't have been better . but that was n't good enough for you . so you had to go and ruin everything ... with him . abigail : ben . i am so sorry , and i hate myself for that . i hate myself for that . i would do it all over again if i could . i would -- i would -- ben : you would 've chosen him in the first place . abigail : no , ben , i would n't . ben : stop lying to me ! stop lying . i saw the way you were looking at him before . it could n't be any more clear that you want to be with chad . so now you can be . forever and ever . theresa : hi . brady : hi . dinner is served . theresa : your daddy is the best . brady : it 's not exactly up to cook 's standards , but ... theresa : yeah , well , i will take lo mein over liver pâté any day . and you know what , when we get the pots and pans , i promise i 'm gon na learn how to cook . brady : maybe i should be the one to learn how to cook . i 'm the one that 's gon na have the free time while i hunt for a job . theresa : hey , look , you wo n't be hunting for long . how 'd it go with victor ? brady : it was hard . he 's been a mentor to me , theresa . i mean , he 's been there for me through all the tough times , when he was n't acting like a jerk , that is . but , regardless , i know i made the right move . i know i did . you know i did , too , do n't you ?

[ laughs ] i 'm just kidding . ej : well , if you 're so inclined , brady , you give it your best shot . brady : no , no , no . you 're not worth it . yo sister was n't worth it either , by the way . ej : you really did n't believe me , did you , when i told you ? she was truly in love with you , brady . brady : it 's probably the one thing that i do believe that has come out of your mouth . i do . i could say that i hope i never see her again or something like that , but that would -- that would give her too much power in my life , and she does n't deserve that . ej : so you 're over her , huh ? just like that ? brady : just -- [ snaps fingers ] just like that . i have to be , right ? between you and me , actually ... i could care less if she disappeared off the face of the earth . for good this time . eric : god does not punish me for anything you 've done . he does n't work that way . he does judge me on how i deal with what life has handed me . and i have n't handled that very well . sami : what ? you 're not talking about accusing nicole ? eric : with no evidence to support the accusation . sami : are you kidding me ? after everything that that woman has done ? she 's fully capable of drugging you and attacking you . eric : no , she was n't . nicole was not capable of that , sami . kristen did it . sami : fine . technically , kristen did it . nicole did n't do anything wrong . we can just both agree that there is the bright side that nicole is also going to be out of your life from now on . eric : no , she 's not . she got her old news reporting job back . and the first story she 's gon na report is all me and that sex tape . sami : what ? if she thinks that she 's gon na hatchet job on you -- eric : sami , it 's okay . sami : it 's not okay . eric : okay , sami , i said stop it . okay , i do n't wan na talk about nicole . sami , i just wan na clear my name and get back into the priesthood . i will take action . somehow , someway , i 'm gon na turn this around . sami : okay , but -- eric : no , wait . you know what ? i have things to do . talk soon ? nicole : i get it . i - i -- i should take the high road . i should help eric the way he helped me . but i ... i 'm doing the best i can in my own way . daniel : i know . but what if it 's not enough ? nicole : you know , when i started working for -- for eric , all my old feelings came back . and it was so hard to push them aw -- away . and ... you know ... he did n't know ... how he tortured me , and i ... daniel : i understand . but you do n't have those feelings anymore , right ? nicole : no . god , of course , i do n't . because every time i see him , he 'd find a new way to show me what an idiot i was . daniel : okay , okay . nicole , he just called . and i asked him to come over here . nicole : when is he coming ? daniel : he 's gon na be here in a few minutes . nicole : oh , my god . i can not be here . daniel : you have to be here . yes , you can . nicole : no , i ca n't . daniel : nicole , i need your help . yes , you -- please . will you just -- nicole ? nicole , please , can you just hear me out ? just stay -- [ door slams ] will : so why is n't it daniel 's fault that he was at theresa 's place when she o.d . 'd ? jj : he and my mom were broken up , and that was because of me . and i resented him for trying to take my dad 's place . yeah , i blamed my mom for not loving my dad enough or for missing him enough . when all that i was mad at was myself for not being here . will : i am sorry . jj : yeah , me too . i 'm sorry that i took it all out on daniel . i was nothing but trouble for him and mom . i just wish that i could take it all back . will : i can relate to that . listen , man , you ca n't blame yourself for what happened with theresa . and that is the real reason that your mom and daniel are never gon na bet back together again . right ? jj : right . theresa : i wish i could explain what happened that night . but , of course , you could ask daniel . i 'm sure he remembers everything . jennifer : yeah , i 'm sure he does . theresa : and he stayed sober . i mean , you know that . because he saved my life . and not a day goes by that i 'm not so grateful to him . i 'm not helping . i 'm just making this worse . jennifer : you know what ? that 's not possible . and if we are through here , i need to get back to work . theresa : okay . bye . [ sighs ] maggie : what was that all about ? theresa : look , i 'm sure that i 'm the last person jennifer wants to see right now , but i was just trying to help her in some small way . i 'm doing my best to make amends . maggie : theresa , the first step , is to actually go to a meeting . you have n't done that yet , have you ? theresa : i 've been before . in l.a . still , it 's really hard to go into those meetings alone . maggie : yes , it is . theresa : which is why i wanted to talk to you first . i heard you 're , like , the best sponsor ever . maggie : ah , well , the salem grapevine is hard at work . working overtime . theresa : so , um , if you 're not too busy to take on someone else ... maggie : it 's not that i 'm too busy , theresa . to be honest , it 's just a little awkward . see , daniel is my son . and his reputation has been dragged through the mud . so i think you 'd be better off with someone else . i know two wonderful women . one would be more than helpful and would be happy to support you . um , as a matter of fact , there 's a meeting at the community center in about ten minutes . i can call the leader and tell her to expect you . theresa : it 's still gon na be really hard to go alone . maggie : hmm . brady ! brady ! come here . brady : hey ! maggie : hi ! brady : how are you ? maggie : you know theresa donovan , right ? brady : theresa donovan . theresa : [ laughs ] brady : yeah , we have n't officially met . i 'm brady . heard a lot about you . theresa : likewise . maggie : brady , i have a favor . brady : what is it ? maggie : uh , would mind taking theresa to a meeting this morning ? brady : um ... daniel : hey , eric , uh , come on in . eric : is nicole -- daniel : uh , you missed her . glad to hear from you . does this mean you 've changed your mind about -- eric : i talked to father matt . i think it 's time i need to do whatever it takes to clear my name . sami : just the person i was looking for . nicole : just the person i was n't . sami : well , too bad for you , nicole , because i 'm going to be in your face until i get a promise out of you . nicole : because promises mean so much to you ? sami : they mean something to eric . and he has done a lot for you . so , nicole , you need to get over yourself and do the right thing . or i promise you 'll regret it . okay . jj : mom , i have some not - so - good news . the judge assigned to my case is sick , and he postponed my sentencing a couple of weeks . jennifer : are you upset ? jj : little bit . jennifer : uh , you know , do n't be . you 're doing a great job . it 's all gon na work out . jj : you do n't seem so confident about that . jennifer : no , this is n't about you . i just had a run - in with theresa . so much for working at home , you know , to avoid seeing her . jj : well , what happened ? jennifer : well , theresa said she wanted to make amends , but clearly she has n't had a lot of practice with that . so i think i was her first guinea pig . jj : oh . what did she say ? jennifer : it does n't matter . jj : i 'm sorry , mom . come here . it 's gon na be okay . jennifer : yeah . of course it is . brady : uh , i do n't really have time . i do n't have time to go to a meeting . maggie : i thought you might be going ... yourself . brady : yeah . no , no , i would . i would , i would . i just -- i have work , i 'm swamped . i just came by to get a little caffeine fix . maggie : okay , well , theresa 's a little reluctant to go on her own , and i just would hate -- theresa : no , it 's fine . i 'll be brave . maggie : are you sure ? theresa : mm - hmm . brady : okay . well , thank you for understanding . i 'm sorry . but , um , good luck . good luck . maggie : brady ? brady : yeah ? maggie : are you sure you 're all right ? brady : i 'm good . i 'm good , just staying busy , maggie . i 'll see you . theresa : i did n't mean for you to have to scrape up someone to take me to a meeting . it 's not my first time , and i have the address , so . maggie : are you sure you 're gon na follow through with this ? theresa : yeah , of course . maggie : well , i hope this meeting is better for you this time . theresa : me too . daniel : so you think it was kristen who went into mason 's office and destroyed all the evidence from the hotel . daniel : yeah , i 've also been able to do some research on the class of drug kristen could 've used to knock you out , and , um ... eric : yeah . daniel : we know if was likely that a masking agent was used . and now i 've been able to look more clearly at certain chemical compounds . now these typically have an extremely long half - life . eric : are you saying that -- daniel : there could still be traces present in your bloodstream . eric : you already ran two tox screens . daniel : we could n't test every possible drug . but now we have narrowed down the search criteria . and also , this was a new test that was n't available when we were investigating your illness before . see , this is more sensitive than the others . at least i hope . eric : you really think this time you can find evidence that i was poisoned ? daniel : oh , i do n't think . after my research last night , i am confident we will get what we need to prove you 're telling the truth . nicole : so just how do you think i could help eric ? sami : well , you could drop the story . nicole : yeah . if i do n't do it , someone else will . sami : fine . let them . nicole : why should i ? sami : [ laughs ] well , for one thing , you and i both know that kristen is at fault here . i hate her , you hate her . it puts us on the same side . did hell just freeze over ? sami : [ sighs ] nicole , you know ... that my brother is innocent , that he is the victim in all of this . and for his reputation to be totally destroyed by -- nicole : by me ? is that what you think will happen if i do my job ? look , you know what , i have a chance to rebuild my life in a career i 'm actually good at . so what do you want me to sacrifice here ? are you serious ? how much do you want me to give up for your brother ? sami : whatever it takes , nicole . you only have a life here because of my brother . and eric is the best person that i know . and you are a worthless , baby - napping , husband - stealing piece of trash . i mean , i do n't care about you or your career , and frankly , no one else does either . nicole : way to go , sami . brilliant move . insulting me , berating me , making me feel like crap . wow , i now am so motivated to help you and your brother . of all the places in your house ... ej : william ! will : hello . ej : how are you ? will : i 'm good , thanks . ej : listen , i was wondering , have you seen your mother since she got back ? will : no , i have n't . how was the field trip ? ej : tiring . will : yes , i bet . i 'm sure it was good for her though , you know ? everything with uncle eric 's been really hard on mom . ej : well , i supposed that 's my fault . will : no , i did n't say that . i just think that , you know , she needs to know that you 're there for her . ej : i am . always , william . your mother and the children are the most important things in the world to me . sami : all right . maybe i was a little -- nicole : nasty ? i 'm sure you could n't help yourself . sami : but you know what , nicole , you 're right . nicole : i 'm sorry , did you just say -- sami : you 're right . someone else probably will do the story . but you ... you can use your power for good instead of evil . you can make sure that you tell the story and make eric look innocent . nicole : even if there 's no evidence to prove that . you want me to lie to the good people of salem ? sami : well , it 's not like you have n't done it before . nicole , you know eric is innocent . nicole : oh , just like he knew i was . he made people think that i raped him . sami : you 're surprised that eric thought you were lying to him ? nicole : look who 's talking . sami : you kidnapped my baby . nicole : you kidnapped your sister when she was a baby . sami : you broke eric 's heart and married lucas for $ 5 million . nicole : you shot ej in the head , and now you marrying the fool . you know what , you wan na throw sins in my face , you better duck . what has it been , six months now since you shot that poor detective ? seems like you 're due . murder anyone lately ? jennifer : let me take this . maggie : oh , thanks . jennifer : thank you so much for coming over . maggie : oh , jennifer , i am so sorry , believe me . a meeting with theresa is the last way i wanted to spend the morning . but i felt obliged . jennifer : yeah . it 's okay . you do n't have to explain . i 'm glad that you wan na help her . because god knows she needs all the help she can get . maggie : well , i hope she gets it . jennifer : yeah . i do n't wan na talk about theresa right now . maggie : i do n't wan na talk about her either ! jennifer : uh , listen . aunt maggie , the reason i asked you to come over here was because i was just wondering , are you still living at the salem inn right now ? maggie : victor asked me to come home . but you see , i do n't think he understands that i have a legitimate reason for being furious with him . jennifer : my goodness . aunt maggie , please . i understand , and ca n't even believe i let kristen -- [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . anyway , the point is , i do n't want you staying at the salem inn any more . this house is as much your house as it is my house , and i think that gram would want you here . and i know that i want you here . maggie : [ laughs ] honey , that 's a very generous offer , but i -- jennifer : but ... you think it 'll be a problem for daniel ? maggie : i do . jennifer : but it wo n't be , because i have thought long and hard about this . and you know what , you have been my wonderful aunt maggie my whole life . long before i knew daniel . long before you did . maggie : well , you 've always been like a daughter to me . jennifer : and i am not asking you to choose sides . it 's just you have always been there for me , through every tough time in my life . and the good ones too . maggie : [ laughing ] oh ! likewise . my jennifer rose . jennifer : so right now is a really tough time for me . and i know it is for you too , so ... i just think it would be really nice ... if we could lean on each other , together . maggie : [ laughs ] daniel : unfortunately , these tests are more involved than the last ones , and more painful . eric : yeah , whatever -- whatever it takes . daniel : are you sure ? eric : yeah , i can take the pain . daniel ... i 'm -- i 'm grateful . i was just thinking , you know , maybe i should ask somebody else to kind of step in and take it from here . daniel : why ? eric : because we 're friends , and i appreciate your support more than i can say . daniel : but ... eric : whatever happened between you and my cousin theresa ... i 'm not judging . she 's a consenting adult . daniel : then what 's the problem ? jj : [ sighs ] daniel : the wild card here is theresa . if she remembers what happened ... jj : yeah . god only knows what she 'll do . daniel : yeah , well , i will handle it . and you , you do yourself a favor . you stay the hell away from her . maggie : you have so much of your grandparents in you . jennifer , thank you for an incredibly generous offer . but do you -- do you think i could have some time to think on it ? jennifer : yeah . of course . you know , when i was going through my hard time with jj , i kept thinking , you know , what would gram do ? and sometimes i think if i channeled her a little bit better , things would n't have gotten so out of hand . [ laughter ] maggie : well , your grandma , she had her share of heartache with her children . jennifer : and her grandchildren . [ laughter ] jennifer : but i am here to tell you that jj , in the past few weeks , he has really turned his life around . maggie : oh , jennifer , that 's wonderful . i 'm really looking forward to spending more time with him , getting to know that handsome young man . jennifer : i am looking forward to that too . and if you do decide to stay , i do n't think daniel will be upset . and i would 've offered you to stay here sooner , but i just figured daniel would 've offered up his place . maggie : well , actually he did , but ... jennifer : but what ? maggie : someone else is staying there right now . daniel : if you 're saying you do n't trust me because of what went down with your cousin -- eric : that 's not what i 'm saying . it 's just that you seem so determined to help me , and i just ... ca n't keep from wondering if ... you 're trying to redeem yourself . if that 's where you 're coming from , daniel , i 'm sorry . man , you 're so kind , and ... [ sighs ] listen , i just ca n't accept your help if it 's for the wrong motive . theresa : sorry , i was looking for 120 river court . maybe you know where it is ? jj : uh , the community center . gon na do some ceramics ? theresa : no , actually , i have an a.a. meeting . nothing anonymous about it . i 'm actually really happy to get my life back together . jj : that 's great . um , so this is river road . theresa : mm - hmm . jj : just go two blocks east , and it 's on the corner . you wo n't miss it . theresa : thanks . jj : theresa , wait . sami : i do n't know , nicole . lost any babies lately ? you 're about due . nicole : [ scoffs ] sami : i do n't know how you 're gon na top yourself this time though . after trying to steal my daughter and pass her off as your own , and then trying to throw jennifer in prison for what you did , i do n't know how you 're gon na get a guy to get you pregnant of course -- nicole : shut up , sami . shut the hell up . sami : eric should 've let you leave town when you offered . everyone would be happier if you were half a world away . nicole : everyone would be happier if you were halfway to hell . you know , i planned on helping eric . but after talking to you , you can just forget it . get out . get out ! bitch . brady : [ humming ] that 's not gon na do it . [ sniffles ] hey , man . yeah , how you doing ? good . i know , it 's been a while . nothing . i , um -- i got a little problem . i only got half a `` g `` left , and i was hoping you could help me out and hook me up . jj : theresa , i just wanted to ask you -- theresa : jj , you know , we really should n't be talking . i just saw your mom at club tbd and she would kill me and you if she saw us to -- jj : what ? theresa : oh , my god . the night i o.d . 'd , i -- you -- jennifer : daniel has a houseguest ? maggie : i 'm sorry . i thought you knew . jennifer : no . is it theresa ? maggie : oh ! oh , no , no . it 's not theresa . it 's nicole . daniel : no . no more texts , no more emails . you tell him i 'll discuss it face to face when i -- nicole : hello . daniel : when i get to the hospital . thanks . nicole : i 'm glad you 're still here . eric : are you ? nicole : yeah . 'cause i wan na take this opportunity to tell you that i will never ever make the mistake of helping you again . sami : [ crying ] [ door closes ] sami : [ screams ] nick : my god , samantha . sami : [ gasps ] ej : what the hell is wrong with you ? | nicole and daniel talked about what happened to eric . eric and sami also talked about what happened . eric let sami know that he intended to investigate whether he was drugged . brady got high again . theresa apologized to jennifer for what she did to her . theresa admitted to jennifer that she made it look like something was going on with daniel when it was n't . jennifer did n't buy that since daniel admitted to being in theresa 's apartment the night she overdosed . brady had an awkward encounter with ej . brady let ej know that he 's over kristen and that he 's glad she 's gone . eric told sami that nicole 's doing a story on him . sami was upset about it and went to find nicole . nicole continued to talk to daniel about her feelings for eric . theresa tried to explain things to jennifer , but she did n't want to listen to her . theresa wanted maggie to be her sponsor , but maggie thought it would be too awkward for her . maggie referred two other people to help her . brady walked in the café and maggie volunteered him to take theresa to aa . |

nicole : damn right . so you can wipe that smirk off your face . brady : not a smirk . nicole : okay , i ca n't help it if daniel had to leave . and it was his idea that i take a shower and get dry , otherwise i would n't have been there . brady : well , i 'm very sorry that melanie got in your face like that . that was n't right . nicole : thank you . brady : [ clears throat ] but the question is , are you really upset that she got in your face , or are you upset because of what she assumed about you and daniel ?

[ inhales sharply ] rafe ? jordan : this may come as a shock to you , rafe , but i do n't give a damn about kate or clyde . they deserve each other . rafe : what changed ? jordan : what does that mean ? rafe : because not too long ago , you were ready to pack up and leave town so you did n't have to face clyde -- not once , but twice . jordan : okay , you want to know what 's changed ? i 'm not running anymore . that 's all ben and i did for eight years -- looking behind us , never getting close to anyone , always afraid . i mean , you know what i was like when i got here , and i will never , ever be that way again . rafe : good for you . jordan : do n't patronize me , okay ? i - i found happiness . people respect me . they respect my work , and for the first time in my life , i fell ... rafe : in love ? you were going to say `` in love `` ... with me . nicole : `` tense `` ? [ scoffs ] marlena , i am anything but tense . okay , what i am is late . brady , great to see you . brady : mm - hmm . marlena : she just wore me out . brady : [ chuckles ] marlena : guess she was n't thrilled to see me , huh ? brady : i think she knows you hate her . marlena : oh , i do n't hate her . i just hate what she did to my son . brady : i do n't think anybody is cool with what nicole did to eric , including nicole . but i 've made mistakes , marlena , so i 'm trying to see past it . marlena : oh , yes , you 've made mistakes . i 've made mistakes . when nicole makes a mistake , it takes on the proportion of a world war . brady : i got to go . i 'm picking up melanie for lunch . marlena : hey , what -- what -- melanie ? melanie 's back in salem ? brady : yeah , yeah , she got here yesterday , apparently for -- for good . marlena : oh , her family must be thrilled . brady : definitely . marlena : mm , and you ? brady : me -- i 'm -- yeah , i 'm -- i am thrilled . it 's good . i 'll see you . marlena : yes , yes , bye . melanie : okay , i know . all right , listen , i deserve , uh , to have you asking me all of these questions because i have lied to you in the past , in the -- before , sometimes a few ti -- more than i should have , way more than i should have . but -- i 'm kidding . that was the old me , okay ? the new me would like to fall asleep right here . daniel : okay . i 'm going to let you rest . but you take care . melanie : okay . daniel : you know i love you . melanie : i love you too , dad . daniel : okay . you make me crazy , but i love you . ah , bye . melanie : bye . [ door closes ] melanie : [ sighs ] i hate lying to you , dad .

[ pen scratching ] kate : leaving so soon ? where are you going ? as if i did n't know . [ keys clacking ] daniel : you know , melanie came by to surprise you last night , but you were n't on duty . she was ready to come with me today , but jet lag started to get her down , so she begged off . maxine : oh , that 's too bad . she will be by , though , later , wo n't she ? i ca n't wait to see that little dickens . daniel : oh , she will find you , guaranteed . you seem to be her favorite . maxine : [ chuckles ] nicole : hey , i got your text . what 's up ? daniel : yeah , hey , thanks for coming . i had a cancellation . so , if you have a few minutes , i would like to -- i would like your advice on something . nicole : i 'm sorry . you want my advice ? daniel : uh , yes , i do . nicole : well , howdy . i guess my mama was right . there is a first time for everything . daniel : all right , come on . let 's go . [ knock at door ] melanie : relax . it 's brady . just got to figure out how to talk him into staying here for lunch . melanie : you made it ! [ squealing ] serena : i did . by that shocked look on your face , i thought you did n't recognize me . melanie : oh , it has n't been that long . serena : prague was a while ago . melanie : [ chuckles ] yes . i ca n't believe you 're here ... and in salem . you 're going to love it . i 'm so excited for you . serena : i know , and i ca n't wait for you to show me around , and we can catch up melanie : yes . um , i want to -- i would love to do that . right now i do n't -- serena : no , i - i do n't mean now . i 'm actually in a bit of a rush . i have to get over to university hospital , get some things squared up , but i thought i 'd take the chance that you 'd be here at your dad 's place , and we could do a quick hello . melanie : hi . serena : hi . how have you been ? melanie : good . just , uh -- serena : oh , my god . is that the time ? melanie : yeah , why ? serena : what a dummy . i - i set my watch an hour late when we were landing . melanie : oh , no . serena : i must be the only person who still uses a watch instead of my phone . um , okay , we 'll catch up later ? melanie : yes , yes . serena : okay , i 'll -- i 'll call you . [ chuckles ] bye . melanie : bye . huh . cool . you 're fine . you 're safe . you did it . [ chuckles ] you got away with it . aiden : a bit disconcerting , do n't you think ? a subject as personal as money keeps coming up between us . hope : aiden , please . it does n't matter one way or -- aiden : it 's -- it 's okay . i 'm not suggesting that it 's on you or that you even care one way or the other . hope : i do n't . really , i do n't . aiden : although ... why would n't you think i was -- to the manor born , hmm ? i mean , look how i live , right ? the house , the car , the suits , top - of - the - line everything ... seems obvious , right ? plus , i never open up about anything , so ... [ sighs ] truth is i grew up poorer than poor . hope : i understand . but after law school , you started your practice -- aiden : well , after law school , i worked as a public defender , then an ada , so i never made much money . in fact , it was meredith 's inheritance that carried us through . i mean , to be honest , you know , i never cared much about money . [ taps desk ] but i do care about my son . and i worry how it affected him , you know , losing his mom as a young boy ... the way it happened . so i admit , you know , i tend to overspend on him sometimes , you know , like , uh -- like meredith did ... to make his life as close to the normal as he used to know as i can make it . does that make sense ? hope : it does . aiden : yeah . hope : i 'm sorry i even brought it up . look , the last thing i want to do is waste what little time we have together talking about things that are unimportant . aiden : hmm . now , i could not agree more . so then what shall we talk about ? hope : how about we not talk ... at all ? rafe : listen ... if i could take back what i did , i would ... in a heartbeat , okay ? it was a mistake . it was a mistake that i -- jordan : what was a mistake was you telling me that you loved me . rafe : no , i do love you , jordan . i love you , i will always love -- jordan : no , stop saying that ! unless you came here to hurt me , do not say that . i am staying here in salem because i am building a life for myself . i have made friends . my brother is here . and i have a real chance to move on . rafe : with chad dimera ? with cha -- really ? how many times do i have to warn you about that guy ? jordan : you do n't get to tell me who i can see and who i ca n't see . my life is no longer your concern . rafe : no , it is my concern , because i care about you , and i always will , jordan ! chad : looks like i 'm interrupting something . kate : [ sighs ] how did he ever manage to get magnolias in december ? [ cell phone ringing ] kate : hello , stefano . stefano : buon giorno , katerina . [ chuckles ] daniel : here you go . nicole : thank you . daniel : yeah . okay . so i just figured , with your being a reporter , that you might know about these things -- i do n't know -- that maybe it 's one of your little tricks of the trade . nicole : could be , but you 're going to have to spell it out for me . what are you talking about ? daniel : oh , okay , okay . so say you get a call from a blocked number . how do you find out who made that call ? nicole : why would you care ? daniel : because i just -- i do . i care . nicole : people can block their i.d . if they want to . daniel : okay , i know that , but it -- nicole : but what -- so what are you so worried about ? i mean , is it melanie ? daniel ? daniel : okay , yes . and here 's the thing -- i mean , melanie -- she 's been a little off since she got back . and it 's probably nothing ... nicole : mm - hmm . daniel : but last night when she was out , she got a call at my place , and this person sounded just a little odd . so how would i trace that number ? nicole : with a court order . daniel : that 's great . nicole : i 'm sorry . you have to obey the law unless you 're the nsa , i guess . what did melanie say ? daniel : uh , i do n't know -- just nothing . nicole : so , she 's covering ? daniel : no , i just do n't want to push her , you know ? nicole : why not ? daniel : because i feel like i need to give her her space . nicole : okay , you asked me for my advice , so i 'm going to give it to you . stop respecting melanie 's space , okay ? demand the truth ... or ... treat her like you treat me . [ knock at door ] brady : mel , it 's brady ! melanie : oh . coming ! coming , coming , coming , coming , coming . i 'm coming . hi . brady : hi . i did n't know if you were going to be here or the hospital . melanie : oh , well , i feel like i was here , and i was here . but i 'm ready to go . brady : you have cabin fever , do n't you ? melanie : you have no idea . brady : let 's get out of here . melanie : okay . kate : stefano , let 's keep this short , okay ? the tax authorities are probably tapping this line . you do n't want them to find your hiding place . stefano : [ laughs ] you know , i have always loved how thoughtful you are . kate : get to the point . stefano : you know , i understand that you are trying to buy a telecom company in malaysia . now , would you care for my advice ? kate : so i can listen to it and then do the opposite ? are we still playing that little game ? stefano : [ laughs ] you know , we 've had some fun times , you and me . but everything 's worked out well , has n't it ? how do you like sharing ceo duties with my son ? jordan : rafe and i are finished . he 's leaving . rafe : right . i 'm done . yeah . chad : you know , you sure have a lot of police business to run by jordan these days . rafe : it was personal . chad : hmm . rafe : yeah , just wanted jordan to know that she still has a friend in me . i make a point of always looking out for my friends . chad : [ scoffs ] well , that is a very noble sentiment , rafe . i am sure that jordan appreciates that . are you okay ? jordan : terrific . let 's get out of here . serena : i hope showing me the ropes wo n't be too much work . i mean , you are the head nurse on this unit . maxine : oh , i 'll be fine , honey . and you will be too . mr. burns did the right thing telling me to get you acclimated . so you 're here on a research grant ? serena : yes . i am so thrilled the hospital 's opening its resources to me . maxine : well , if anybody gives you trouble , you come see me . i know how to ... sidestep certain people , bump others out of the way and just roll right over the rest . serena : [ laughs ] maxine : mmm . never thought i 'd say this , but this hospital has some good coffee . would you like some ? serena : sure . nicole : daniel , i - i know you 're thrilled that melanie is back , and you do n't want to get on her case . i get that . i 'm not a parent , obviously , so this may sound presumptuous , but you have got to be hard on her the way you 're always hard on me . i mean , would you let me get away with being evasive and playing games with you ? no . but that is a good thing . you have helped me by being hard on me , more than you know . and when you demand that i am honest with you , therefore , myself , it makes me face up to things . it makes me a better , stronger person . do you get what i 'm saying ? daniel : yeah . yeah , i do . nicole : what if melanie really does need your help ... and she does n't get it because you 're too afraid of hurting her or alienating her by pushing her to be truthful with you or facing head - on whatever it is she is struggling with ? daniel : you know , i had a feeling you were the right person to talk to about this . thanks . nicole : yeah . melanie : a lot of new stores since i was here last . brady : oh , yeah , we got a lot more . oh , that reminds me -- um , i have to get some batteries . will you stay here ? would you -- do you mind if i get them before we eat ? melanie : yeah . no , no , go for it . i 'm going to look around a little bit more . brady : you know , we 're not in europe anymore . we 're not in the land of pickpockets anymore . you do n't have to hold on to this purse so tight . melanie : right . [ chuckles ] brady : all right ? melanie : old habits -- they die hard . brady : all right . i 'll see you in a bit . melanie : okay . okay .

[ chuckles ] kate : okay , that 's it . look , i have a spectacular mansion to take care of , a corporation to run . i am going to hang up now . stefano : of course , of course . look , i 'll call later . um , when would be a good time ? kate : how about the tenth of never . stefano : [ chuckles ] chad : hey , look , i know we talked about going out to eat , but if you 're too upset about rafe and you 'd rather just put it off until -- jordan : do i look like i want to waste any time talking about rafe ... or put anything off ? abe : everything okay ? rafe : just peachy . abe : i 'm not sure i 've ever seen you take a drink this early . rafe : i 'm off duty . abe : that 's not my point . what 's going on ? rafe : i had something great ... something perfect . yeah , as usual , i managed to lose it . no , strike that . i , uh ... i destroyed it . maxine : next , i 'll introduce you to janet foreman . she 's in charge of our database . anything that you ca n't find on your own , she can , uh , figure it out in just a few keystrokes . serena : uh , excuse me . the -- the woman who 's standing over there ... is that dr. marlena evans ? maxine : mm - hmm . that 's dr. evans . why ? you know her ? serena : from a long time ago . oh , my god , she has n't aged a day . daniel : hey , mel . you here ? mel -- what is -- melanie ... no ! nicole : hey , brady . are you -- are you looking for melanie ? brady : yeah , yeah . we were supposed to have -- nicole : i just saw her run off that way like a bat out of hell . she had two people chasing after her . kelly : did you really think we would n't find you ? game over . | a man and woman arrived in salem to look for melanie . daniel wanted to know if melanie was hiding something . rafe wanted to talk to jordan to let her know that he knew what kate did to get clyde in salem . jordan refused to let kate drive her crazy . a strange lady went off on aiden . aiden seemed a little bothered by it , but he covered up . chad wondered if kate could really trust clyde . kate was n't worried about clyde . melanie lied to daniel about what she did . he seemed satisfied with her answer and left . melanie pulled out some paperwork and read it . jordan let rafe know that she refused to be the way she was when she arrived in salem . |

[ phone ringing ] rafe : it 's hope . sami : well -- answer it . that 's good . what ? what is wrong with you ? why did you do that ? brady : all right , i 'm gon na search the grounds till the police get here . eve : well , good morning , everyone . brady : oh , god . hey , buddy , hey ! where the hell have you been , huh ? eve : hey , language , brady . brady : answer the question . where have you been ? eve : well , we went to the park . tate wanted to see the ducks . is n't that right , big boy . brady : hey , how you doing ? did you see the ducks ? how you doing ? you okay ? eve : of course , he 's okay , gosh . why are you acting like i 'm some kind of baby snatcher ? i mean , he 's had a wonderful time . did n't you , pumpkin head ? yes , you did . brady : thank you . maggie : why , i 'll bet you that someone built up an appetite feeding the ducks . why do n't we go and see shat cook 's made us for breakfast , huh ? brady : yeah , get some pancakes in that belly , huh ? what the hell do you think you 're doing- eve : ooh . maggie : taking my son out of the house without checking with me ? eve : i think someone woke up on the wrong side of a bloody mary . brady : you trying to provoke me ? eve : no , look , i just did what any aunt would do . i took him to the park . brady : yeah , well , i 'm his father , i 'm his father . you do n't take him anywhere without my permission . you do n't touch him without my permission . eve : oh , my gosh . you know , when teresa left , you were desperate for me to help you raise that boy . now , what ? i ca n't even touch him ? brady : i guess that was when i felt sorry for you , eve , when you had nothing , and you had no one . i was stupid enough to feel sorry for you . eve : you know , if tate were n't alone , there might have been someone that i could have asked permission . brady : okay , what are you -- are you insinuating that my son 's neglected ? eve : how long did it take you to realize that he was gone , brady , huh ? how long ? eli : so -- what exactly is the problem ? brady : there 's no -- thank you , thank you for responding so quickly . i want to report a kidnapping . paul : i mean , i love sonny so damn much , but what if -- what if he and will -- what if they get back together ? and even if they do n't , i 'm still the idiot who knew will was alive and did n't say anything , which sonny will probably never forgive me for . and you know what ? i do n't blame him . john : will you knock it off ? you came forward . you did the right thing . paul : eventually , but the damage is done . i mean , every time sonny looks at me , he 's gon na see the man who lied to him . the man who almost kept him from will . john : nah , you know , i do n't see it that way . no , sonny loves you , paul . i know it . paul : yeah , well , love may not be enough . you know , i 've heard that saying all of my life , but now - now - now , i get it . john : yeah , well , you know what ? i prefer , `` love conquers all . `` i think you need to trust in that . you need to trust in what you and sonny have . paul : i just wish that i would have trusted enough in our relationship to be honest from the beginning because whatever happens with will , there may be a real chance that i 've ruined any hope that sonny and i had to get back to what we had -- to what we were . belle : so after ciara took off on that motorcycle and copped an attitude , she 's basically been on lockdown with shawn , and i can not wait for you to meet her -- again . [ laughter ] will : that sounds great . marlena : yeah , why do n't you two get reacquainted ? i 've got to check in with john . excuse me . belle : i did n't think you liked french toast . will : oh , it 's a new thing -- apparently . belle : mmm , well , at least you 're not hurling it at me . will : what ? belle : oh , well , you were -- what , four , i think , and i was babysitting you , and i wanted you to clean your plate , so , naturally , you tossed all of your french toast right at me , and then you laughed . will : are you serious ? belle : yes . will : i 'm sorry . i was a brat . belle : yes , you were , but you were also hopped up on maple syrup , so . will : yeah . i got to say , you -- you , um -- you 're very nice . belle : you 're surprised . will : no , well , just you 're -- you 're nothing like sami . belle : yeah , well , sami can take a little getting used to , but , you two -- you were really close . will : you know , i ca n't even begin to wrap my head around how that was possible . belle : oh , well , i know my sister can be controlling , and we 've certainly had our fair share of disagreements , but there 's nobody that 's more loyal than sami brady , and she loves you so much , will . will : yeah , you know , she loves me so much that she almost got me killed yesterday . sami : okay , so step one in getting the woman you love to take you back is that you have to answer the phone when she calls you . why did you do that ? rafe : i do n't know , because there 's a naked woman sitting next to me who happens to be my ex - wife ? sami : you are making it sound way worse than it is . we 're ... just friends , right ? this was just about comfort . rafe : yeah , i 'm pretty sure she would n't see it that way . sami : of course , she would n't see it that way -- rafe : yeah . sami : because she 's never going to find out . please tell me you 're not planning some sort of confession . rafe : look , my relationship with hope is based on truth , trust , and honesty . sami : rafe , seriously , if you tell hope about -- about this , are you kidding me ? your chances of getting her back go up in flames . rafe : i do n't feel comfortable lying to her . sami : oh , my god ! would you stop being so ... you ? rafe , promise me you 're not -- [ knock on door ] hope : sami ? sami , are you in there ? sami : oh , my god . somehow we always leave sami : oh , my god . what is she doing here ? rafe : i do n't know . sami : shh ! rafe : well , might as well let her in and get it over with . sami : what are you talking about ? are you insane ? she 'll kill me , and then she 'll kill you . [ knock on door ] hope : sami ? sami : if we just ignore her she 'll go away . rafe : it 's hope we 're talking about . sami : no ! damn it . hope : come on , sami . i know that you 're in there . i realize you probably do n't want to talk to anyone right now , but please , it 's really important . it 's about rafe . sami ? sami , please . sami : hope , hey . come in . will : so , anyway , sami swears it was all `` under control . `` a madman strangling me while my loving , loyal mother is just watching . what could possibly go wrong ? belle : ah . well , thank god , you 're okay . will : yeah , you know why ? because ben lost his nerve . yeah , it got too real for the psychopath serial killer , but sami -- but my mom -- she was mad . she was angry . `` oh , you did n't go far enough . `` in her mind , if i would have just been two , three seconds closer to death , then i would remember everything . belle : will , i -- i am so sorry you had to go through that . will : like i would want to remember that bitch of a mother now . belle : listen , yes , sami went way too far . absolutely . but really , that is just who sami is , you know ? never give up . never back down . never stop fighting for the people she loves . will : do you have kids ? belle : yeah , i do . i have a daughter , claire . will : would you sic a serial killer on her ? belle : no , of course not . will : no , you know why ? because you 're a normal human being . you 're normal . sami 's not normal . sami 's a monster . belle : sami is not perfect . she 's not , but who is ? i mean , i 've definitely made my fair share of mistakes , and , you know what ? you made a pretty big one too . john : so when was the last time you talked to sonny ? paul : i 've been giving him space since we got back . john : space . paul : space . john : okay , so let me ask you this -- how 's that `` space `` working out for you , paul ? paul : i 've done enough damage to will and sonny . there 's no way that i 'm gon na interfere with their relationship . john : what about your relationship ? paul : i meant every word of the vows that i said to sonny . nothing has changed for me , but everything has changed for him . john : well , like i said before , sonny still loves you . paul : well , he says he does , but our relationship is on hold until will gets his memory back , and there 's nothing i can do except wait . john : i do n't know about that . you can fight . you and sonny are engaged . you planned a future together . you have every right in the world to fight for that , son . paul : a life with sonny 's all i want . john : then , damn it , stand up for yourself and your relationship . paul : what about will ? i mean , he 's your family too . i do n't want you to feel like you 're having to take sides . john : you are my son . i will always be on your side . eli : all right , i 'll need a description of the child , a recent photograph -- eve : detective , that wo n't be necessary . brady : excuse me , tate was taken from the nursery by this woman , eve donovan . eve : kiriakis . eli : and yet , you 're here . do you know where the child is ? eve : well , you know what ? as a matter of fact , i do . maggie : tate just ate three waffles and a half a container of blueberries . victor : and here we go . eli : tate ? the child that 's been kidnapped ? eve : mm - hmm . maggie : kidnapped ? eli : you were ready to file a false report ? brady : no , there 's nothing false about it . she took my son out of this house without my permission . i want her arrested . eve : you know what , detective ? why do n't we look inside this diaper bag here , right , and check it ? see if an amulet has been planted , should we -- victor : this is nonsense . there 's nothing to see here , officer . eli : with all due respect , mr . kiriakis , i 'll be the judge of that -- and it 's detective . victor : i stand corrected . please feel free to carry on with the rest of your day . detective . eli : you accused her of murder , and now you 're accusing her of kidnapping . brady : i overreacted , all right ? i apologize for that , i do . listen , there 's got to be other things you want to do with your day , so can i show you out , detective ? eli : you know , last time i was here these gentlemen were trying to kick you out and yet you still seem to be living here . eve : well , brady and his grandfather have suddenly decided , actually , that they were gon na treat me very , very nicely . is n't that right , boys ? victor : it 's a big house . too much trouble to fight her when it 's just as easy to avoid her -- most of the time . brady : again , i 'm sorry that you came on a false alarm . eli : well , i 'm relieved that your son is all right . brady : thank you . eli : but , actually , i was already on my way over here when i received the call -- for another reason . i 'm here to get your statement about your uncle deimos 's murder . brady : i 'd be happy to give you a statement about deimos ' death , but i do n't see how i can be of help . eli : you pointed us in the direction of mrs . kiriakis . you accused her of his murder , and you led us to the amulet that was found in her bag . eve : that 's right . the police seemed to think that whoever murdered deimos must have taken the amulet , and whoever has possession of it must be the murderer . is n't that right , detective ? eli : mrs. kiriakis has a rock - solid alibi , which suggests that the amulet was planted in her bag as she claims . victor : i do n't appreciate you singling out my grandson . a lot of people live in this house . to say nothing of staff , gardeners , workers who have access . eli : i doubt any of them have both motive to both eliminate deimos and frame his wife for the crime . eve : i know , right ? eli : unless you have a plausible explanation on how that amulet was found in her bag , you 're the main suspect in deimos kiriakis ' murder . belle : just forget i said anything . will : no , forgetting is what got me here in the first place . everyone is so eager for me to remember my past . well , this is your shot . what are you -- what did i do ? belle : it 's really not my place to tell you . will : okay , come on . marlena : anything exciting happen while i was gone ? will : yes , actually . marlena : oh . will : belle was telling me that in my past i made a huge mistake . belle : um , i was out of line . will : oh , come on . do n't shut down now . marlena : look , maybe we should let this go till another time . you 're , you know , you 've been overloaded , have n't you ? will : you think ? i mean , i have a mother who has been lying to me about who i was for the last two years , but now i have another crazy mother who will probably lie to me for the rest of my life . i also have a husband and a daughter that i do n't remember a single thing about , so whatever you are going to say , i think i can handle it at this point . so go for it . belle : you cheated on your husband . will : what ? i thought that -- i thought we were in love . why would i -- why would i cheat on him ? marlena : honey , it 's complicated . will : it does n't sound complicated . i was married , and i slept with another guy -- i 'm assuming it was a guy , right ? belle : yes , it was . will : okay . so who did i cheat on sonny with , not that i know him ? marlena : you do know him . it 's john 's son , paul . john : so what are you waiting for ? call sonny , right now . paul : he and will could already be back together . john : i know for a fact they have n't seen each other . marlena wanted to help will regain his memory one step at a time , slowly reacquaint himself with his old life -- but sami kind of blew that all to hell . paul : what did she do ? john : oh , she busted ben weston out of the loony bin so he could strangle will all over again . hope : thank you . sami : you say it 's about rafe ? hope : yeah , i 've been looking for him all morning , and i ca n't find him . i thought -- i thought maybe you could help . sami : i just woke up . why would you think i know where rafe is ? hope : well , because you and rafe have been spending a lot of time together since you got back . i thought maybe you 'd been in touch with him . sami : did you try calling him ? hope : voicemail . sami : well , maybe he 's at work . oh , wait -- he works for you , so you should know where he is . hope : but i 'm not his boss anymore ; i was fired . i guess you do n't know . rafe 's the new commissioner . sami : hope , that 's terrible . i 'm - i 'm so sorry . uh , look , i can see that you have a lot that you have to deal with , but so do i , so -- hope : sami , please . sami , please just give me a second , okay ? rafe and i had a really big fight last night , and i have n't heard from him since . it started out about my job , then it turned into something very ugly and very wrong , and i need to find him . i need to talk to him right away , so if you have any idea where he might be , anywhere , i just -- please , tell me . copd makes it hard to breathe . sami : so i have n't heard from rafe . i mean , if i had i would tell you . have you tried gabi ? hope : yeah , i have . she has n't heard from him either , and he did n't crash at the station last night . i even checked here to see if he got a room . i 'm really starting to worry about him . i hope he 's okay . do you think he 's okay ? sami : yeah , no , i 'm sure he 's gon na turn up when you least expect it . hope : yeah , well , sorry to have bothered you . thanks . bye , honey . sami : no problem . you know , everybody fights , and , hope , i 'm sure it 's not as bad as you think . hope : he broke off our engagement . sami : what ? i 'm so sorry . but you 're trying to find him , right ? so does that mean you want to make up with him ? hope : well , i said some things that -- well , i think there was just a lot of miscommunication and ... i 'm sorry to take up your time . it just- it probably is too late anyway . sami : no . it just comes down to one thing : do you love him ? hope : like crazy . sami : then it 's not too late . you can make things right . hope : i do n't think so . i 'm -- he 's refusing my calls , so that probably means that he , well , he does n't want to talk to me . sami : that is the furthest thing from the truth . hope : how can you be so sure about that ? paul : is will all right ? john : physically , yeah , but emotionally , no . he 's pretty trashed . paul : what the hell was sami thinking ? john : well , she was under the impression if she could recreate the traumatic event , that will would regain his memory . paul : by having ben strangle him . john : yeah , yeah . paul : that 's insane . john : yeah , yeah , it 's a little over the top , even for sami . paul : how did she even break him out of the asylum ? john : well , once sami gets something in her head , there 's no stopping her . it 's left up to us to pick up the pieces . paul : tell me ben 's back where he belongs . john : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . no one 's the wiser . paul : oh , my god . will must be a mess . john : well , you know , he 's been struggling ever since he got back to salem , and all sami did was just push him closer to the edge . will : i slept with paul ? the same guy who 's now engaged to my husband ? marlena : there were extenuating circumstances . will : like -- like i 'm an ass ? like i 'm the kind of person who cheats on someone who loves me ? marlena : no , no , no , no , honey . you just do n't understand what happened . will : to hell with this . to hell with will horton . i mean , i may live with a fake mom and a freaking elvis impersonator , but at least i knew who i was . belle : will , please , do n't go . i 'm sorry . will : you know what ? i 'm happy that you told me because sonny said that we had this perfect marriage , and we had this amazing love . marlena : you did . will : until i cheated on him ? marlena : honey , we 'll talk about all this . will : you know , i got to go . marlena : let -- let -- let me drive you , okay ? will : i 'll walk , thanks . marlena : why did you tell him that he cheated on sonny ? brady : i 'm the main suspect in deimos 's murder ? that 's ridiculous . you have no evidence whatsoever . eli : there is a very good chance that whoever planted that amulet to cast suspicion on mrs . kiriakis , is , in fact , the murderer . brady : it was n't me . eve : you know , maybe you should take him downtown for questioning . coffee 's lousy , and they have no sense of humor . eli : mrs. kiriakis , please . it would be easier for all of us if you 'd just cooperate . brady : you can give me a lie detector test , detective . i did n't do it . eli : then , who did ? victor : oh , for god 's sake . he did n't kill deimos . i know that for a fact . sami : hope , i know rafe better than a lot of people , and i know he loves you , and i have seen you with him and , hope , you -- you are so happy with him , and i know you make him happy too , so you should go find him . talk to him . make him listen . i know he wants that . hope : thank you . i 'll do that . sami : good , all right , maybe try the pub or the gym . he might be taking it out on a weight machine as we speak . hope : thank you so much . i love you , bye . sami : i love you too . rafe : okay , that was -- sami : brilliant ? i know . being a good liar can be useful . rafe : yeah , when you use your powers for good . sami : i always use my powers for good . rafe : hmm . sami : it 's just that other people do n't always see it that way . rafe : yeah , well , thank you for what you said . sami : i was listening . she wants you . rafe : well . sami : bad . so you should go find her . rafe : thank you , thank you . sami : i do n't like seeing you miserable , rafe . you do n't deserve that . well , since i do n't have a chance at love anymore , you got to go find hope , make this right and be happy -- for both of us . okay ? rafe : okay . sami : call her . rafe : that 's -- yeah . belle : will called sami a monster , and i just wanted him to understand that nobody 's perfect . marlena : then say that . do n't tell him that he cheated on his husband . belle : he 's gon na find out eventually . marlena : you know what ? there are times and ways for will to find things out . belle : will is walking around here thinking that he and sonny were madly in love , when they were tragically parted , and that 's just not even true , and that 's not fair to sonny . that 's not fair to will . and it 's definitely not fair to paul either . victor : brady 's alibi is just as ironclad as eve 's , and the police already know about it . you 'd know that if you checked . eli : enlighten me . victor : brady was home all night , recuperating from heart surgery . eve : hm , do you have a time stamped photo for proof , victor ? victor : brady has witnesses . i 'm one of them . i was home with him all night . eve : come on . they are in cahoots . why do n't you just take them both downtown for questioning ? eli : as eager as you are to help solve this case , i doubt that an octogenarian and a heart patient could sneak into a party , stab deimos , and get out unseen . victor : exactly . ask your aunt ; she knows we were here all night . maggie would n't lie . maggie : that 's true . eve : they hired someone . the kiriakises never do their own dirty work . i mean , you should know that by now . the amulet got in this house somehow , and if they did n't kill deimos -- well , they certainly know someone who did . victor : obviously , my brother 's widow is hysterical . the grief and all . sorry we could n't have been more help . eli : i want a list of everyone who lives in and has access to this house . maggie : we 'll be happy to put that together . eli : i 'll be in touch . victor : what in god 's name is wrong with you ? eve : just trying to see justice served . victor : justice ? if there were any justice , you 'd be out on your ass . eve : oh , you know what ? you started this , you and brady . and you , you 're living with a couple of murderers . brady : well , that was a nightmare . victor : one of your own making . first you accuse her of murder , then kidnapping ? would you please stop being stupid ? maggie : what are n't you telling me ? now , i know neither of you had anything to do with deimos 's death , but you know something , do n't you ? fine , i 'll go check on tate . brady : i 've made a mess , have n't i ? victor : you certainly have . brady : well , at least our list of current residents does n't include nicole . i mean , out of town , out of mind , right ? she 's not gon na be on any list of suspects . victor : if the noose gets any tighter , that may have to change . [ knock on door ] sami : you . belle : that 's how you greet me ? sami : i thought you were gon na be will . belle : oh , well , i 'm sorry to disappoint . sami : what are you doing back in town ? belle : where else would i be ? will 's alive . i had to come and see him for myself . i 'm just so happy for you ! sami : wait a second . belle : what ? sami : do n't even give me this , like , fake act like you care routine after what you did to me .

[ holiday music ] sarah : you will always be holly 's grandmother , mom , but ... nicole asked eric to raise her . maggie : i know what nicole asked . i also know that eric has never been a father , much less a single father . sarah : plenty of single parents raise children . and eric is more than capable , and he 's gon na have the support of his family and ours . maggie : okay , well , then why take the risk ? holly , she 's happy here . and she loves being around ari and around her aunt sarah . and victor is quite taken with her . sarah : but you and victor have raised your families . this should be the time that you get to sit back and enjoy each other . maggie : are you implying that i 'm too old to keep up with a toddler ? sarah : oh , no , no , of course not . no , mom , you have more energy than most 20-year - olds i know . maggie : [ sighs ] okay . well , then what 's this about ? sarah : eric . losing nicole tore his whole life apart . raising holly is something that he has to do , something that he needs to do to heal . please do n't take this away from him . eric : hey , we 're not open yet . you know what ? if you 're looking for something to eat , you 're gon na have to go somewhere else . brady : i 'm not here for a meal , eric . listen , i have a proposition for you . eric : yeah , well , i 'm not interested . brady : you might be . i want to arrange a memorial service for nicole . lani : i thought you were just friends . sheila : hey , you did n't want him . i mean , so why should i let this hot piece of police business go to waste ? eli : okay , sheila , look , we do n't need to do this . sheila : i used to have a crush on him back in the day . and who knew he would turn out to be such a hottie ? lani : yeah . who knew ? sheila : i mean , and do n't go and try to take him from me , now . eli : okay , sheila . all right , stop . lani : no , it 's fine . i 'll let you two get back to it . i mean , what 's a little morning sex between friends , right ? oh , here , your damn pie pan . i got it back by mistake . sheila : thank you . lani : excuse me . eli : lani . lani . lani ! sheila : [ laughs ] eli : what the hell , sheila ? why 'd you do that ? sheila : do what ? eli : you made lani think that we had sex . sheila : i did n't hear you correcting me . eli : well , i tried to , but you kept -- sheila : oh , please . no , you didn't . you stood right there and tried to see if she was jealous , and guess what . she was so jealous , she had smoke coming out her ears . so you 're welcome .

[ sighs ] wow , well , i 'm sorry to hear that . and i know you 're probably worried , with your history of addiction , but i would n't overreact . lucas : listen , i ca n't take any chances with my daughter , all right ? um , she needs me whether she realizes it or not . i just could n't live with myself if i did n't do everything i could to protect her . maggie : eric is a good man . but he has n't always been stable , especially in the face of tragedy . sarah : is this about daniel ? because eric is a different person now . he 's sober and -- maggie : and he 's one slip away from falling off the wagon . i 'm an alcoholic , sarah . i know how easy it is to stumble when you 're in pain . so for holly 's sake , we ca n't take any chances . sarah : i think if you just talked to eric , you -- you 'd see how committed he is to -- maggie : i do n't doubt that he loves her . but sometimes you have to make the hard decisions . sarah : mom , please . i understand your concerns , but just talk to him . for me . for nicole . maggie : [ sighs ] all right . as you said , it was nicole 's last wish . i 'm willing to listen . [ dramatic music ] eric : i 'm already planning a memorial for nicole . i do n't need your help . brady : i loved nicole too . eric : how can you even say that with a straight face after what you did ? you drove her away , let xander take that evidence and use it to make her life a living hell . brady : i never meant for that to happen , eric . eric : i tried to rescue her from a burning building , but you held me back from doing that . brady : yeah , i was trying to save you . eric : you 're the reason she 's dead . so now , what , you want to have a memorial about you and your guilt ? you killed her . you 're the reason she 's dead . abe : you know , we missed you folks at thanksgiving . doug and julie just hosted a wonderful dinner . marlena : mm - hmm . i 'm just glad that you and eli had time to spend with val before she had to leave for d.c . abe : mm . john : yeah , have you spoken to her since she left ? abe : [ chuckles ] about a thousand times . john : [ laughs ] of course . marlena : i 'm sure she will do very well as chief of staff . abe : you know , i know she does n't want to hurt my feelings , but i can tell she loves it . marlena : yeah . well , d.c.

[ tense music ] this holiday , no matter who 's on your list , john : you know , maybe something good will come out of this long - distance relationship with val . abe : how do you figure ? john : well , you know , all that , um , `` absence makes the heart grow fonder `` stuff . abe : [ chuckles ] john : when i 'm away on assignment , doc and i , we always ...
