Update written by Joseph

At home, Eric tells Sloan that he thinks he got Jude to sleep. Sloan comments that he said that 10 minutes ago. Eric responds that if he wakes up again, he’ll take him over to John and Marlena’s and put Brady to work as the Godfather. Sloan thought he hadn’t asked Brady to be Godfather yet. Eric confirms he hasn’t, but thinks now might be a good time to do so. Sloan knows how tradition is so important to the Bradys, so she asks what Eric thinks about moving the Christening reception back to the Brady Pub where it was originally to be held. Eric says they already talked about this but Sloan says she had time to think and worried that Roman might feel slighted if he’s not able to give his grandson the reception. Eric points out that Nicole is really excited about hosting it at the DiMera Mansion. Eric assures that Roman will understand. Sloan questions if he won’t be hurt. Eric asks if this is about keeping the celebration in the family or keeping Nicole out of it?

John goes home and tells Steve and Marlena that he can’t believe that Steve told Marlena that he killed Konstantin’s daughter. John questions Steve knowing all these years, but when he asked him, he lied to his face and went behind his back to tell his wife. John asks Steve if he was ever going to tell him.

Harris goes to see Ava, who questions him not following bed rest and asks where he was as he had her worried. Harris responds that he just had some things to take care of.

Stefan emerges from the tunnels of the DiMera Mansion to the living room and asks EJ what’s going on. EJ informs him that Harris was just there asking for him. Stefan asks what he said. EJ says since Stefan failed to neutralize Clyde, who just escaped from prison, he safely infers that Stefan is no longer of any use to Harris. EJ adds that Harris also told him that Stefan shot him in cold blood and he demanded justice be served for his attempted murder. Stefan asks if EJ is still going to help him out, reminding him that they made a deal. EJ tells him not to worry since he can’t wait to get rid of him, so he is going to help him. EJ declares that tonight will be Stefan’s last night as a DiMera and tells him to make the most of it. EJ hands Stefan a drink and toasts to that, calling it exciting.

Sloan argues that Eric already knows how she feels about Nicole and doesn’t understand why Eric told Nicole that she could throw the Christening party for a child she stole. Eric argues that Nicole was out of her mind and has apologized which they accepted. Eric adds that Holly is like a daughter to him and thinks of Jude as a brother, so he thinks it’s important for her to feel like a part of this. Sloan questions if this is about Holly or Nicole. They are interrupted by a knock at the door as Brady arrives. Brady hopes he’s not interrupting. Sloan says she was just leaving, tells Eric to have a good night and storms out.

John calls it ironic that after all these years, Konstantin of all people is the one who finally told him the truth. Marlena explains that Steve was afraid how John would react to the truth. John states that he took the life of an innocent young woman and asks how he’s supposed to react to that. Steve argues that it might not be the whole truth as Konstantin doesn’t know any more than they do. John argues that this woman was a real person and somebody’s daughter, but he killed her.

Ava asks Harris what he had to take care of and if everything is alright. Harris asks when she last saw or spoke with Stefan. Ava says she doesn’t know as she’s been so focused on Tripp. Ava guesses it was a few days ago when Harris woke up at the hospital and asks why. Harris says he wanted to have a chat with him about Clyde, but Stefan is nowhere to be found.

EJ informs Stefan that he is all set to depart and he has arranged him a flight tomorrow morning with a new passport, so he will assume his new identity and be on his way. Stefan didn’t think it would move so fast. EJ reminds him that Clyde wanted him to off Harris while Harris wanted him to take out Clyde and since he failed both, his only options are prison, death, or North Korea. Stefan asks if that’s a joke. EJ says he’s dead serious as he told Stefan that he would get him to a country that doesn’t have a treaty with the US, he just didn’t say which one. Stefan calls that nuts and argues that EJ said he would help him, not send him to a warzone. EJ asks if he would prefer Afghanistan or Siberia.

Ava tells Harris that it is odd that she hasn’t heard from Stefan and asks if Harris thinks he had something to do with Clyde’s escape. Harris talks about Clyde putting the screws to Stefan by threatening Gabi and that Stefan is crazy about her. Harris thinks Ava might even be surprised by the lengths Stefan would go to protect Gabi.

Stefan argues with EJ that this is not what they agreed to. EJ disagrees. Stefan asks how he’s supposed to navigate these places when he doesn’t speak Russian or Korean. Stefan complains that he lost four years of his life thanks to EJ. EJ says if Stefan doesn’t want to be sent to a safer location, he’s free to do that. Stefan argues that he’s trusting EJ with his life. EJ remarks that Stefano always said starting over builds character.

Sloan walks through the town square and finds Leo passed out at a table, so she wakes him up. Sloan asks if he partied too hard on St. Patrick’s Day. Leo complains about her talking too loud and her perfume. Leo thinks Roman was trying to do him in last night with whiskey and green beer. Sloan suggests he not go drinking on her dime. Leo responds that it’s his dime now and suggests she show more consideration for someone feeling weakness. Leo adds that if Sloan did less drinking herself, his weekly allowance wouldn’t be due so quickly.

Brady asks Eric if he’s sure it’s a good time since Sloan didn’t seem too thrilled. Eric says she’s just exhausted as it took awhile to get Jude down and he didn’t sleep well last night. Eric talks about the Christening being the day after tomorrow. Brady assures that he wouldn’t miss it. Eric then asks Brady to do them the honor of being Jude’s Godfather. Brady says he’s honored to be asked but says no, he can’t do that.

Marlena tells John not to torture himself, insisting that he’s a wonderful man. John calls himself a killing machine and declares that he can’t live with himself anymore. John announces he’s going to turn himself in to the authorities.

Ava asks Harris why Stefan would help Clyde when he despises him. Harris repeats that he’s crazy about his wife. Harris suggests Ava reach out to Stefan. Ava says she has called and texted but he never responded. Ava tells Harris that he can’t be running all over town like an action hero. Ava decides she’s taking Harris to bed, no arguments.

EJ suggests Stefan take only a few changes of clothes and a toothbrush but nothing more. Stefan jokes about packing all his belongings. Stefan says he would at least like to say goodbye to his wife before he goes. EJ says sure if he would like to say goodbye to his life as well. EJ reminds Stefan of the power Clyde’s network wields at prison and warns that he’ll be taken out if he steps foot there. EJ tells Stefan that he’ll gladly put the knife through Gabi’s heart on his behalf. Stefan calls him a sadistic son of a bitch. EJ warns him about the name calling since Stefan’s life is in his hands. Stefan asks what he will tell Gabi. EJ says he will tell her that Stefan went to start his happily ever after without her and he’s sure she will do the same at her earliest opportunity, unless she already has. Stefan asks EJ to tell Gabi that he loves her. Stefan says he doesn’t care about anything else but that. EJ says no and then tells Stefan that a car will meet him at the end of the tunnel before dawn. EJ hopes Stefan isn’t claustrophobic, because it’s safest for him to ride in the trunk.

Sloan gives Leo a check and remarks that she knows how to stick to a budget. Leo remarks that he was in the red because of a suit he bought for Jude’s Christening. Leo says he and Jude have a very special connection since he brought him in to the world. Sloan demands Leo return that suit because he’s not coming to Jude’s Christening.

Eric questions Brady turning down being Jude’s Godfather. Brady says it’s an honor to be asked but he doesn’t think he should be involved with any titles that have the word father in them because he screwed up with his own kids. Eric asks what he’s talking about as he calls him a great father. Brady questions that, pointing out that he has his son in a halfway house and a daughter that doesn’t care if she sees him because he hardly ever sees her. Eric argues that’s only because of Kristen messing with Rachel’s head. Brady says Kristen was only able to do that because he messed up and made mistakes. Brady then informs Eric about Tate breaking out of the halfway house and in to the DiMera Mansion to see Holly, leading to EJ slapping a restraining order against him. Brady knows Tate is in love and feels he would probably do the same thing at his age because it’s genetic. Brady declares that history has shown that if there’s a mistake to be made, he’s going to make it and his kids are just taking after their father.

Marlena questions what John will say when he turns himself in. Steve argues that they are talking about something that happened decades ago, that John doesn’t remember and no one actually saw. John complains that he tried to convince himself that he was one of the good guys. John says he knew Yo Ling tried to create him in his own image when he trained him to be an assassin. John adds that if he killed people as The Pawn, he told himself that they were probably the bad guys anyway but taking the life of an innocent girl proves that he’s no better than Yo Ling was and he’s a monster just like he was.

Stefan tells EJ that he can’t do this and there’s got to be another way. Stefan argues that EJ could offer him a deal. EJ questions letting him off for attempted murder when there’s plenty of evidence against him and says he would lose his job. Stefan complains that EJ is taking over the DiMera empire and questions why the hell he would want a government job anyway. EJ declares that amassing power is the DiMera’s raison d’etre and Stefan knows that better than he does. EJ adds that Stefan threw that all away when he shot a cop. Stefan blames EJ not helping him when he asked. EJ argues that Stefan makes one calamitous decision after another including one that almost cost his stepdaughter her life, so he should be grateful that he’s even helping him. Stefan shouts that EJ is only helping himself to everything that is rightfully his. EJ reminds Stefan that this was his own idea. Stefan points at the portrait of Stefano and remarks that he’s sure he’d be flipping in his grave right now, mortified that one of his sons could betray another. EJ calls Stefan so wrong because they both know that if Stefano was mortified by this current turn of events, it would be because one of his sons has proven himself to be an absolute failure and complete embarassment of the DiMera name. EJ declares that Stefano would be so proud of him for making sure that stain is banished.

Ava feels Harris and worries about a possible fever if he’s overdoing it but Harris assures that he’s fine and jokes that he’s just hot for her.

Leo tells Sloan that he is going to Jude’s Christening because Eric invited him and since he delivered the baby, he has a special place in his heart. Leo thinks it’s reasonable for him to want to be there. Sloan question why he wants to be there so bad. Leo says he just explained it and repeats that he and Jude have a special connection. Leo calls himself Jude’s fairy godmother. Sloan bets Jude’s real Godfather will have something to say about that.

Eric tries to convince Brady and asks if he wants Leo Stark to be Jude’s Godfather which Brady questions. Eric calls it a long story that he doesn’t fully understand, but Leo pretty much appointed himself to the job. Brady calls that creepy but insists that Eric will find another willing candidate besides him. Eric argues that he doesn’t want anyone else. Eric says Brady is his brother and he loves him. Eric knows Brady would do anything for his kids. Eric asks Brady again to do him the honor of being Jude’s Godfather. Brady decides that he knows Eric won’t back down from this so he agrees to do it. Eric thanks him as they hug.

Marlena tells John that she knows all too well the guilt that she felt for doing unthinkable and unspeakable things. Marlena knows how difficult it was to forgive herself even though what was done was out of her own control. Marlena adds that what helped her was John’s kindness, support, and empathy which is what he needs now. Marlena says the man John is today would never do anything like that but John tells her that she’s wrong as he reveals that just last week, he helped Clyde Weston break out of prison. Steve explains that they had no choice as it was either help Clyde escape or let Tripp and Wendy die. Steve adds that they had no intention of just letting Clyde go and if they hadn’t put their trust in Ava, Clyde wouldn’t be running free. John tells Marlena that he’s sorry that he had to burden her with more knowledge about what he did. Marlena says she’s relieved to know what they have been through. John adds that if anyone else gets killed with Clyde out there, that’s on him too. John feels he at least needs to go apologize to Konstantin for everything including the accusations. Steve argues that it’s true that Konstantin is trying to fleece Maggie but John declares that Konstantin is a grieving father and he’s the reason for that. John states that if anyone did that to his daughter Belle, he would hunt them down and kill them.

Brady tells Eric that Sloan thinks Tate should plead guilty because there’s no way to prove that the drugs were Holly’s unless she admits it. Eric asks if Brady thinks Holly knows more than what she’s saying. Brady mentions talking to Sarah about memory loss in coma patients but Tate told him that Holly was using drugs for weeks before she overdosed and says she’s got to remember that. Brady feels that unless Holly comes clean, everyone’s going to believe Tate pushed the drugs on Holly and he will keep paying for a crime he didn’t commit.

Leo questions Sloan as to who Jude’s Godfather is. Sloan informs him that Eric is asking Brady tonight. Leo argues that Brady hasn’t accepted yet and that Eric must be procrastinating by waiting until the last minute. Sloan argues that it was all up to their schedules. Leo says he’ll make sure Jude’s picture ends up in the Spectator but Sloan refuses to let him use Jude as an attempt to humanize himself. Leo reminds Sloan that if it wasn’t for him, Jude wouldn’t be in her life. Leo brings up Melinda being the Godmother while he gets nothing. Sloan says that’s because Melinda didn’t try to blackmail her. Leo insists upon having a special connection with Jude. Leo asks if it’s so hard to believe that he actually cares about the kid and assures that he does because he’s been a part of his life since he was born. Leo doesn’t think it’s too much to ask to have a ringside seat to one of the most important moments of Jude’s life.

Ava and Harris kiss. Ava jokes that she’s pretty sure this is not what the doctor meant by bed rest but Harris says it’s exactly what the doctor ordered as they continue kissing.

Stefan tells EJ that they never discussed specifics as far as living arrangements and expenses. EJ says he’s sure he’ll figure it out. Stefan decides it doesn’t matter since he’ll be miserable where ever he is without Gabi which EJ mocks. EJ says if it’s any comfort to him, if Gabi ever gets out of prison, he will let her know where Stefan is so they can wallow together in misery. EJ suggests Stefan get back in to the tunnels before anybody sees him.

Sloan tells Leo that it is too much to ask and warns him about showing up uninvited. Leo threatens that if she throws him out, he’ll have to announce to all in attendance that Sloan stole Jude from Nicole. Leo tells Sloan he will see her at the Christening and walks away.

Eric knows Brady wants to believe Tate and he does too, but maybe Holly isn’t lying and is just confused. Brady knows Eric loves Holly and he does too. Brady understands Holly doesn’t want her parents to think she’s using but she’s putting that ahead of his son’s freedom. Brady asks what Eric is thinking. Eric informs him that he talked to Holly the other day and felt like she might be hiding something but he didn’t want to push too hard. Eric promises to talk to her again. Brady says he’d be grateful for anything he could do. Eric declares it’s all about family and he knows Brady would do the same for Jude.

Steve tells John that he’s so sorry for not telling him about what happened in Aria with Konstantin and his daughter, but he blocked it out himself for a long time. Steve repeats that he didn’t know how John would react. John thinks Steve knew exactly how he would react. Marlena decides no more talk about John turning himself in until he’s had time to really think about it. Marlena tells John not to forget that she loves him.

Ava and Harris lay in bed together. Ava asks if he’s sure this is what the doctor ordered. Harris jokes that he might need a refill of this prescription as they kiss. They say they missed each other. Ava then thinks back to when she had sex with Stefan. Ava decides she will go get Harris his pain meds and she will be right back. Ava exits the bedroom and then Stefan arrives at the front door, saying he needs to talk to her as he needs her help. Ava tells him it’s not a good time and he needs to go but Harris comes out of the bedroom and acknowledges Stefan as his would-be assassin. Harris declares that Stefan is not going anywhere, leaving Ava confused in between them.

Days Opinions For The Week Of March 11, 2024

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Tate and Holly from Days

Tate took the risk of going to see Holly so she could help clear his name. We get why he felt he needed to leave the rehab center to see her, but he shouldn’t have risked getting caught doing that. Did he really think no one was going to find him at the DiMera mansion? There was no way he was going to get away with seeing her without getting caught. He should have waited to see her.

Speaking of Holly, she was so selfish when she didn’t tell Nicole and EJ that Tate wasn’t the one who drugged her. She would rather have them think Tate drugged her instead of letting them know she wasn’t the saint they think she is. Holly was able to live with the fact that an innocent person was being punished for something she did. We don’t believe she doesn’t want to stress out Nicole. She’s looking out for herself.

Abe finally got his memory back this week. It was about time he got it back. We didn’t care for the way he got his memory back out of the blue. Lexie came to see Abe when Paulina was dying. After her visit, he suddenly got his memory back and Paulina was suddenly cured. We understand that the writers wanted us to believe that it was a miracle, but we didn’t buy it. They could have come up with a better way to have Abe and Paulina get their miracles.

What was the point of having Eli and Lani come back to Salem if they were going to write them off so soon? Why would Eli suddenly accept a promotion when he knows what his family is going through? He could have gotten his job back in Salem. The writers could have said Eli and Lani were staying temporarily. They didn’t have to have him accept a promotion.

Did the writers forget that Maggie has two children? When she and Konstantin were talking about her children, she only mentioned Sarah. She said she lost two children which means Melissa is still alive. Konstantin has no way of knowing about Melissa, so we didn’t expect him to mention her, but Maggie knows she has another daughter and forgot about her. Just because Melissa isn’t on the show anymore doesn’t mean she couldn’t mention her.

Days Update Friday, March 15, 2024

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Harris goes to the police station where Jada questions what the hell he’s doing there instead of being on bed rest. Harris responds that he can’t just lay in bed and he has to find out how Clyde escaped prison. Jada informs him that there was a toxic spill and when all the prisoners had to evacuate, Clyde was missing. Jada declares that Clyde is on the run and they have no idea where the hell he is.

Brady and Theresa meet with Tate in the interrogation room. Theresa questions what Tate was thinking by breaking out of the halfway house and in to the DiMera Mansion. Tate argues that he had to see Holly and try to clean up this mess. Theresa complains that now it’s an even bigger mess, noting that he stole her phone. Tate apologizes and says he was desperate. Brady doesn’t think Tate understood how he screwed up here as he violated a legal mandate and could go back to jail. Tate gets that they are angry but complains that he was going out of his mind in the halfway house and he had to find out what Holly remembered. Brady says they are worried as he declares that what Tate did last night was a really bad move.

Nicole and EJ go to Holly’s room. Holly mentions hardly sleeping. Nicole understands she had a lot on her mind. EJ says they need to talk about Tate breaking in last night. Holly argues that he didn’t break in but EJ insists that he did. Holly calls it a big misunderstanding and complains that EJ didn’t have to have Tate arrested. EJ questions if he was just supposed to look the other way. EJ declares that he did what he had to do for Holly’s safety and the safety of their family. Holly argues that they are all safe and calls it ridiculous as she argues that he can’t send Tate to jail.

Steve goes to Marlena’s and they sit together. Steve hopes he didn’t alarm her at the Pub. Marlena asks what’s going on and what he has to tell her about John. Steve responds that it’s about his past as The Pawn.

At the Black Patch office, John complains that Konstantin has been messing with him ever since that night at the park a month ago. Konstantin informs him that their history did not begin there as many years ago, John tore his life apart. Konstantin then shows John a photo of his daughter, Catharina. John responds that he doesn’t know who it is which Konstantin finds very perplexing because he is the one who killed her.

Harris asks Jada if there’s any signs of Goldman. Jada says they don’t have good news on that either as she found out that she wiped out her bank account and they found her car abandoned outside of town but they are looking in to everything. Harris says Clyde had to have set this up because Goldman couldn’t have pulled this off on her own which Jada agrees with. Harris thinks Clyde will stay local to keep his eyes on his business and his people. Jada adds that aside from Goldman, they don’t know who else was helping Clyde. Harris thanks her for the update and says he has to get going. Jada tells him to get some rest as he exits the station.

EJ tells Holly that Tate broke the law and when you break the law, there are consequences. Nicole thinks EJ may be overreacting a bit and says that Tate and Holly are just teenagers and they make mistakes. Nicole calls it nothing compared to what they did at their ages. EJ argues that has no bearing on this situation. Holly argues that EJ doesn’t know Tate. EJ brings up Tate being kicked out of boarding school for vandalism. Holly calls that a stupid prank and declares that Tate is not a drug dealer and she knows he didn’t drug her. Nicole questions how she knows that if she doesn’t remember anything from that night. Holly insists that Tate would never do anything like that. Holly pleads with EJ not to send Tate to jail. EJ agrees to consider the options but says he’s not making any promises as he exits the room.

Marlena asks Steve what she doesn’t know about her husband’s past. Steve talks about being one of the first people to encounter John when he came to Salem. Steve states that under Victor’s orders, John was under his care as the Pawn and he was his handler until he went on the run and became John Black. Marlena says she’s aware of how he got his name and tells Steve to continue. Steve says they know what kind of guy he was back then and he still has a lot of shame that he carried out Victor’s orders and the unethical things he demanded of him. Steve informs Marlena that one day, Victor had a mission for them.

Konstantin tells John that he will tell him a story about him and Victor with Steve, his innocent daughter Catharina, and finally John, the Pawn.

Tate complains to Brady and Theresa that he had to go see Holly and all she had to do was tell EJ that the drugs weren’t his and he could come home. Theresa says they all want him to come home but he was doing so well. Tate asks what that even means and why she keeps saying stuff like that as if he belongs in the halfway house. Tate complains that it’s painful because he doesn’t need help. Tate says he didn’t do any of the drugs in Salem and he’s being railroaded for nothing. Brady points out that Tate did break in to the DiMera Mansion so all of this is snowballing in to a bigger mess. Brady says they all want Holly to know the truth, but breaking the law is not the way to get it.

Holly asks Nicole why EJ has to make such a big deal about this. Nicole agrees he’s being a little overzealous and says she will talk to him about not sending Tate to jail. Holly wants EJ to just stay out of it. Nicole points out that it is EJ’s house that Tate broke in to. Holly argues that it’s their house too. Nicole assures that EJ cares about her and is just looking out for her. Holly remarks that EJ isn’t her father and if he really cared about her, he’d back off of Tate. Holly insists that Tate is not who EJ is making him out to be as he’s always been really nice to her and swears that he was on New Year’s Eve too. Holly tells Nicole that she does remember that her and Tate were having a good time. Nicole wonders if she’s covering for Tate so he doesn’t get in any more trouble. Nicole questions if Holly just said Tate didn’t drug her to get EJ off her back. Nicole says it’s just her, so she can be honest. Nicole asks if Holly remembers more about that night than she’s telling her.

EJ goes to the living room where Harris is waiting. EJ asks what brings him by. Harris asks if he knows where Stefan is. EJ responds that he hasn’t seen him in days which Harris questions. EJ states that he does not keep tabs on his family members but he’s sure he’ll cross paths with Stefan eventually. Harris calls it a coincidence since he just came from the police station and was brief on Clyde’s prison escape and now Stefan has disappeared too. EJ questions what he is insinuating. Harris responds that he has a hunch that Stefan had something to do with Clyde busting out of prison and he thinks EJ knows something about it.

Steve tells Marlena that this is part of his past that he’d just as soon forget but now he’s being forced to confront it. Steve informs her that Victor sent he and John to deliver a message and it was John’s first assignment of the Pawn. Steve adds that the message was to a man who was challenging Victor’s authority.

Konstantin tells John that he and Victor were always fighting over power in Greece, so Victor sent his Pawn over to send him a message which was John.

Steve tells Marlena that the message was loud and clear to make sure this man knows that his interference will no longer be tolerated, so they flew by private jet and then rode in to the small village of Aria. Steve states that they were there to find the man they know today as Konstantin Meleounis.

Holly tells Nicole that she doesn’t remember what happened on New Year’s Eve but she knows in her heart that Tate did not drug her. Nicole says she hears her loud and clear, so she will talk to EJ. Holly asks if she thinks EJ will change his mind. Nicole says she doesn’t know but she will do her best. Nicole asks if Holly is hungry for anything, so she asks for a grilled cheese. Nicole notes that Holly’s school teachers sent some homework and suggests they can look at colleges online together as she exits the room. Holly then puts her shoes and jacket on and hurries out of her room.

Tate tells Theresa and Brady that he’s a screw up and asks if they’re happy that he admits it. Theresa tells him that he’s not. Tate goes over getting kicked out of school and then sent to jail for drug pushing and that’s what the world thinks of him. Tate says his biggest mistake was not calling the cops when he found Holly. Brady knows this is all very confusing. Tate says he’s just angry and scared as he declares that his life is over. Brady tells him not to say that. Tate argues that they said he screwed up his future, so they think he’s a loser like everyone else. Theresa says he just made a mistake. Tate complains that making mistakes over and over again make him a loser. Brady says it makes him human.

EJ asks if Harris got brain damage and says he’s out of his mind. Harris questions EJ knowing nothing about Clyde’s escape. EJ reminds him that he’s the district attorney and repeats that he has no idea where Clyde or Stefan are. Harris accuses him of lying, reminding him that they already talked about the possibility of Stefan being in cahoots with Clyde. EJ says he already told him that he would throw the book at Stefan if that was the case. Harris doesn’t believe he was being transparent. EJ advises Harris to go work out there instead of harassing him and directs him to the door. Harris then informs EJ that he knows Stefan is working with Clyde. EJ questions how he knows that, so Harris then reveals that he knows Stefan is the one who shot him.

Marlena tells Steve that she thought Konstantin was a longtime friend of Victor’s. Steve says more like longtime rival which is why he and John know that he’s been conning Maggie and why they’ve been trying to get him to leave town. Marlena asks if he went to his house to persuade him. Steve confirms that Victor called and instructed him to watch outside for guards while John confronted Konstantin.

Konstantin tells John that he was sitting at his work bench, carving a figurine for his daughter when all of a sudden John burst in. Konstantin says they struggled and he never saw his face, only his eyes, which still haunted him to this moment. Konstantin admits that John got the best out of him and beat him unconscious.

Steve explains to Marlena that he heard a gunshot but he knew the Pawn wasn’t supposed to kill Konstantin so he rushed inside to see what happened. Steve recalls it being hard to see at first but then he saw John off to the side in a trance, holding the gun, then he spotted Konstantin face down on the floor, unconscious but still breathing. Steve reveals that then he saw a young girl lying next to him with blood pooled underneath her and he checked her pulse, but she was gone.

Konstantin tells John that when he woke up, John was gone, his door was open and his home was a wreck. Konstantin recalls getting to focus and seeing his daughter, Catharina on the floor, shot by John which leaves John shocked.

Nicole returns to Holly’s room to find she’s gone.

EJ tells Harris that he can’t be serious since they’ve charged Xander with his shooting and the evidence is stacked against him. Harris says that’s because Clyde and Stefan framed him and he’s starting to think EJ is in on it too. Nicole comes in and asks what’s going on. EJ says they are just talking shop and asks if there’s anything she needs. Nicole says she was just looking for Holly. EJ thought she was upstairs with her. Nicole explains that she went to make her lunch and when she went back, she was gone. EJ suggests checking the grounds or the garden and offers to go with her but Nicole says it’s fine and she’s sure she’s there somewhere. Nicole tells Harris it was nice to see him and exits the room. EJ tells Harris that he promises he’ll be the first to know when he sees Stefan, but he’s going to find his stepdaughter. Harris stops EJ and says they are not done here.

Holly goes to the police station and asks Jada if she can help her. Jada tells her it’s nice to see she’s doing better. Holly says she needs to speak with Tate. Jada says she’s sorry but that’s not going to happen because he’s in interrogation with his parents and is in police custody as he might be charged with another felony. Holly asks about him being in the interrogation room. Jada repeats that they can’t allow her to see him because he violated the terms of his release and broke in to her house last night. Jada also feels that Nicole doesn’t know she’s here so she’s going to call her.

Marlena asks Steve if he’s telling her that John killed the girl. Steve clarifies that he didn’t see it happen but feels it wasn’t hard to piece together. Steve reminds her that John was the Pawn at that time so he wasn’t considered human, more of a weapon or an assassin. Marlena recalls John’s training when he was younger. Steve says that made it appealing for any evil bastard to recruit him. Marlena asks if he thinks John meant to kill that girl. Steve says it could’ve been an accident but John’s brain had been reprogrammed, so maybe he snapped. Steve says he doesn’t know and all he knew at that moment was that the message was sent, mission complete, and the girl was dead, so he grabbed John and took off back to Salem.

Konstantin tells John that he held his daughter’s lifeless body in his hands, telling her memories of her childhood. Konstantin says she was the only thing in the world that mattered to him and his only reason for living. Konstantin adds that after her funeral, he developed another reason to go on as he plottted and planned to undermine Victor every chance he got. Konstantin reveals that he swore to himself that if he ever found the man that killed his daughter, he would make him pay, and now after all these years, he has finally found him.

Steve tells Marlena that he thought this whole thing was behind them, but then they confronted Konstantin about his intentions with Maggie and he turned out to be the same man from Aria. Marlena points out that John’s face was covered when the girl was killed, so she asks how Konstantin could know. Steve reveals that he said it was his eyes. Marlena brings up that she was John’s doctor and trying to help him find his identity, so she questions why she’s just now hearing about this. Steve says in trying to keep the secret from John, he didn’t feel he could tell her either and apologizes. Marlena asks if Kayla knows. Steve confirms she doesn’t. Marlena asks how he’s been living with this all this time. Steve calls it a terrible memory that he kept buried and says there were times in his life when he didn’t know who he was either and the DiMeras wiped his memories from him. Steve wishes this whole thing had stayed in the past and that he could’ve protected his friend from the knowledge of what he did, but then Konstantin showed up in Salem and mentioned his hometown of Aria and it all unraveled from there.

Konstantin yells at John asking if he remembers now. John says he doesn’t but he always had a feeling in his gut. Konstantin hopes that feeling eats him alive. Konstantin declares that he will not rest until he gets his revenge. Konstantin remarks that John should’ve killed him but instead, he chose to murder his daughter in cold blood and for that, he will make him pay. Konstantin then storms out of the office.

EJ questions Harris detaining him in his own home and threatens to make one call to have him fired. Harris argues that only the police commissioner can do that and says if EJ tells him where Stefan is, he would go. EJ repeats that he doesn’t know and if he did, he would haul him in because talking to Harris is a colossal waste of time. EJ tells Harris again that Xander shot him, not Stefan. Harris responds that Stefan shot him and pulled the trigger. EJ asks what proof he has. Harris reveals that he is the eye witness because he saw Stefan shoot him.

Holly argues with Jada that she’s not a little kid and complains that Tate did nothing wrong in coming to see her last night. Holly shouts that she let him in. Brady opens the window from the interrogation room. Tate gets excited that Holly is there to see him. Nicole arrives at the police station and finds Holly, questioning what she was thinking. Theresa wants to go talk to Holly but Brady points out that Nicole has arrived. Holly tells Nicole that she came to see Tate because she needs to talk to him. Nicole says now is not the time. Holly questions when is the time. Nicole points out that Holly hasn’t been cleared to leave the house. Nicole thanks Jada for calling her and tells Holly they are going home now as she takes her out of the station, leaving Tate disappointed.

EJ question how Harris can prove he saw Stefan and not Xander. Harris responds that once he finds Stefan, he’ll have his proof. EJ calls it a ridiculous theory. Harris argues that he has his word and that means something as he’s a detective and a navy SEAL. EJ mocks Harris having his brain scrambled. Harris declares that he’s going to find Stefan and when he does, he’s going to take down every dirty bastard involved in this mess.

Brady states that was not a good move on Holly’s part. Theresa wishes she had a chance to talk to her though. Jada enters and announces that EJ has decided not to press charges. Brady asks if Tate can go back to the halfway house then. Jada confirms he can, but he will be required to wear an ankle monitor so he can’t skip out again. Theresa assures that he won’t and that he won’t be there much longer. Tate hopes that Holly can come visit him but Jada tells him not to count on it as she reveals that EJ has also filed a restraining order so Tate is not to come within 100 yards of the DiMera Mansion or Holly.

Konstantin sits in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion and has a drink. He looks at a photo of Catharina on his phone.

John goes home and stops outside the door as he tearfully looks at the photo of Catharina that Konstantin gave him while thinking back to Konstantin’s words. John starts to head inside but stops when he hears Marlena telling Steve that John had always been afraid that he had done unthinkable things in the past. Steve responds that the man who went to Aria with him was not John as the man they know today would never do something like that. Marlena says she knows that but he knows the truth would destroy him. John then comes in and questions Steve knowing and never saying a word to him but he told his wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Uh, don’t take this the wrong way, but what the hell are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on bed rest?

Yeah, I can’t watch TV and sleep all day, I’ll go crazy. Not to mention, I need to know how The hell Clyde Wesson escaped from prison?

Okay, there was a toxic spill in one of the cell blocks. And so when all the inmates had to be evacuated to the yard, when the prison guard took a head count, Clyde was MIA.

So he’s on the run. And we have no idea where the hell he is.

What were you thinking, breaking out of the halfway house like that? And then breaking into the DiMera mansion. I mean, aren’t things bad enough already?

I had to talk to Holly. I had to try to clean up this mess.

Well, this is an even bigger mess now, isn’t it? And then stealing my phone.

I’m sorry, I was desperate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s obvious, Tate. But I don’t think you’ve understood how you’ve screwed up here. You’ve not only violated a legal mandate, you could go back to jail!

Okay! Okay, I get it.

Your new lawyer’s gonna have to work some real magic to stop that from happening.

Look, I get that you guys are angry, but don’t you get that I was going out of my mind stuck in that halfway house? I had to see what Holly remembers!

Your mom and dad being mad at you is the least of your concerns. We are worried. I’m not gonna sugarcoat this for you. What you did last night was a really bad move.

I’m sorry.

Good morning. Can we come in?

Well, um, you slept in, that’s good.

Hardly slept at all, actually.

Well, you’ve had a lot on your mind.

Holly, we need to talk about last night. about Tate breaking in.

He didn’t break in, okay?

Coming onto our property and climbing into your bedroom window in the middle of the night without anyone’s permission is the very definition of breaking in.

Look, this whole thing is a huge misunderstanding. Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong. You didn’t have to have him arrested.

Would you just have me look the other way? Holly, I did what I had to do. For your safety and the safety of this family.

I’m safe. We’re all safe. EJ, please. This is ridiculous. You can’t send Tate to jail.

Alrighty. There you go.

Thanks.

I, uh, I hope I didn’t alarm you coming up to the pub like that.

By the look on your face, I think I should be alarmed. What’s going on? What do you have to tell me about John?

It’s about his past. As the pawn.

Wait, What I did to you You gotta be kidding me because you’ve been messing with me ever since that night in the park over a month ago,

ah, yes But our history did not begin one month ago You see many years ago You tore my life apart Here, look at this.

Am I supposed to know who this is because I don’t?

You don’t remember her? I find that very perplexing.

I know. Why is that?

Because you are the one who killed her.

Okay, uh, Goldman, any signs of her?

I don’t have good news on that front either. Uh, we found out that she cleaned out her bank account, about 50 grand, and so there’s no likelihood of tracking her down via credit card spending either. And we found her car, it was abandoned on the outskirts of town.

Okay, any, uh, clues in her vehicle?

Nothing. She probably swapped out her car with another one.

Yeah, or she hopped on a bus or a train.

Yeah, we’re looking into all of that right now.

Yeah, but Clyde Weston, I can’t. There’s, he had to have set this up. Goldman could not have pulled this off on her own.

I agree. I have a bolo out nationwide and border patrol on both of them.

I, I think he’s gonna stay local.

Why do you think that?

I don’t know. I just think Clyde will stay in this area to keep his eyes on his business and his people.

Yeah, well, that’s another loose end as well. Aside from Goldman, we don’t know who else was helping him.

Right. Um, thanks for the update. I gotta get going.

All right, well, get some rest.

I don’t think so.

Holly, Tate broke the law. When you break the law, there are consequences.

Honey, honey, don’t you think you’re overreacting? Just Yes, sure. Tate shouldn’t have left the center, okay? But he just wanted to talk to Holly, for God’s sake. They’re just teenagers.

Teenagers are still accountable.

Yes, but they make mistakes. They act impulsively. I mean, it’s nothing compared to what I did when I was her age. Sure, you as well.

Our childhoods have no bearing on this situation at all, Nicole.

God, you act like Tate is Loki or someone.

What?

You don’t know him at all.

I do know that he was brought to Salem after being kicked out of boarding school for vandalism, causing five figures in damages.

That was a dumb mistake. A stupid prank, but he’s not a drug dealer and I know he didn’t drug me.

Honey, how do you know that if you don’t remember anything from that night?

I know! Because Tate would never do anything like that, Mom. EJ, please, don’t send him to jail. Please.

I’ll consider the options, but I’m not making any promises.

What do I not know? About my husband.

About his past.

Tell me!

Well, as you know, I was one of the first people to encounter John when he came to Salem. Under Victor’s orders, John was in my care. He was the pawn, and I was his handler. Until he went on the run and became John Blair.

I’m aware of how he got his name. Go on.

Well, we both know the kind of guy I was back then. I still have a lot of shame knowing that I carried out Victor’s orders. Did those unethical things. He demanded of me. For money. So one day, Victor had a mission for us. For me and the pawn.

Let me tell you a story. Our story. About me and Victor Kiriakis. And the others were Steve Patch Johnson. And my beautiful, innocent daughter, Katarina. And finally you, the pawn.

What would you do? Dad? Mom? If you were stuck in some rehab facility, and Holly’s the only person that can get you out of that place. So yeah, I went to go see her. Alright. And all she had to do was tell her stupid stepfather that I had nothing to do with those drugs. And then I could have come home. I just want to come home.

Tate, we all want you to come home, but My God, you are doing so well!

Oh my God! What does that even mean? I was doing so well. Why do you keep saying stuff like that? Like, like I belong in that horrible place and like it’s actually helping me. Which it is not. It’s just painful because I don’t need that kind of help. I, I pulled a stupid prank at school in California. I admit it. But that’s it. All this crap about drugs in Salem, I didn’t do any of it. No. I’m being railroaded for a crime I did

DiMera mansion, son? Holly could have given me permission.

Did she?

Do you not understand what’s happening here? All of this snowballing into even a bigger mess.

We all want the truth, okay? We want Holly to tell the truth. But breaking the law is not the way to get it.

Why does EJ have to make such a big deal about this?

Well, I agree. He is Being a little overzealous about this whole Tate business. So I will talk to him about not sending Tate to jail

Okay, you have to mom.

Okay

She should just stay out of it Well, I mean it is his house that Tate broke into

it’s our house too mom

You’re right, but honey EJ cares about you and he’s just looking out for you

Yeah, well, he’s not my father. And if he really cares about me, he’d back off on trying to punish Tate. Because he’s a good person, Mom. Tate’s not who EJ’s making him out to be. He’s always been so nice to me, and he was really nice on New Year’s Eve. I swear. We were having a good time. That I do remember. And What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Well, I’m, I’m just wondering if you’re covering for him. So that he doesn’t get in any more trouble.

Oh my god.

Well, honey, you said he didn’t drug you. That night. And, I mean, did you just say that to get EJ off your back? Honey, look. It’s just me. You can be honest. Do you remember more about that night than you’re telling me?

Ah, Harold told me you were here.

Mr. DiMera?

Sorry to keep you waiting. I was on the phone with my officer. What brings you by, detective?

Your brother, Stefan, you know where he is?

I have no idea. I haven’t seen him in a while. Days now, in fact.

Really?

I don’t keep tabs on my family members, detective. Though I’m sure I’ll cross paths with Stefan eventually, though it is a big house. He could be in another wing, for all I know.

Hmm, yeah. Well that’s, uh, that’s quite the coincidence. I just came from the station and was just briefed on Clyde Weston’s prison break and escape, and, uh, you know, he’s fallen off the map.

Yes, I heard about it. It’s infuriating.

And now I’m here looking for your brother, and he’s disappeared too.

What exactly are you insinuating, detective?

I don’t know. I just have a hunch that Stefan had something to do with Clyde busting out of prison. And I think you know something about it.

This is part of my past. I’d just as soon forget. Now I’m, I’m being forced to confront it. Victor sent me and John to deliver a message. It was John’s first assignment as the pawn. The message was to a man who was challenging Victor’s authority.

Victor and I were always fighting over territory in the Greek crime business. He sent his pawn over to deliver me a message.

No.

Oh yes, it was you.

The message was loud and clear. Make sure this man knows that his interference will no longer be tolerated.

So John and I, Flew by private jet to Nafplion. And then rode east into Aria, a small village. We were there to find the man we know today to be Konstantin Melionis.

I told you, I don’t know what happened on New Year’s Eve, but I know in my heart Tate didn’t drug me. How many times do I have to say it?

Hey, honey, honey. I hear you loud and clear.

So you’ll talk to EJ?

I said I would.

Do you think he’ll change his mind?

Oh, I don’t know, but I will do my best, okay? So, are you hungry? Can I bring you something? Maybe grilled cheese? Okay, you got it. Oh, and uh, your school teachers sent some homework for you that I’ll bring after lunch. And maybe, if you’re up for it, we could look at some colleges online together?

Okay. College, college, I love you.

Thank you. I love you. I love you.

Fine. I’m a screw up. Are you happy? I admit it.

No, Tate, you are not a screw up.

No? Let’s see. First, I get kicked out of school, and then I get sent to jail for drug pushing.

You’re not a drug pusher.

No, but the world thinks that I am. My biggest mistake was not calling 9 1 1 as soon as I found Holly. Or even telling that cop the honest truth when she started shining that blinding flashlight in my face.

Dad, I know. All of this is very confusing. I get it. There’s nothing confusing about it, Dad. I’m just angry and scared. My life is over.

Buddy, don’t say that.

No, but it is. You just said that. You did. You said I screwed up my whole future. You think I’m a loser just like everyone else.

No, you are not a loser.

We don’t think you’re a loser. We just think that you made a mistake.

But if you make a mistake over and over and over again, doesn’t it make you a loser?

No. Son, it makes you human.

Oh my, I, I, I didn’t realize one could develop brain damage after being shot in the chest.

You’re out of your mind.

So you know nothing about Clyde Weston’s escape?

Let me remind you, Detective Harris, that I am the district attorney. Not only do I have zero knowledge of anything involving Clyde Weston, I have no idea where my brother Stefan is, as I already told you.

You’re lying.

Oh, for God’s sake. We already talked about the possibility of Stefan and Bean in cahoots with Clyde. And I told you I would throw the book at him if that turned out to be the case.

Yes, but I got a feeling that you weren’t completely transparent that day.

And I have a feeling that it is raining coconuts. Oh, whoops. Looks like we’re both wrong. Now I strongly advise you to spend your time out there going after an escaped felon rather than in here, in my home, harassing me. And when I see my brother,

or finally produce your brother,

The door’s this way.

I know Stefan’s working with Clyde.

And how the hell do you know that?

Because Stefan is the one who shot me.

Konstantin, isn’t that the name of the man who’s staying at Maggie’s house?

That’s right.

Well, I thought that he was a long time friend of Victor’s.

More like long time rival. That’s why John and I know that he’s been conning Maggie and why we’ve been trying to get him to leave town.

So you went to his house to persuade him?

Yes. And Victor called and instructed me to wait outside and watch for guards and such. Well, John confronted Konstantin.

I was sitting at my workbench carving a little wooden figurine for my Katerina when all of a sudden the door burst open and you came in. I thought that Victor would send someone. I tried to defend myself, and we struggled, and I never saw your face. Just your eyes, only your eyes that still haunt me to this very moment. Yes, you beat me and beat me. We struggled. You got the best of me. You beat me over and over until I lost consciousness. Then I heard a gunshot.

I knew the pawn wasn’t supposed to kill Konstantin. So I rushed inside to see what happened. It was hard to see at first. But then, I saw John off to the side. In a trance. He’s holding the gun.

Oh, dear God.

And I, I spotted Konstantin on the floor. Face down. Unconscious. But he was still breathing. Then I saw, a young girl lying next to him. Blood had pooled underneath her. I checked for a pulse. But she was gone.

When I woke up, you were gone. The door was open, my home was a wreck. When I finally could focus, I saw my daughter. My only child, my Katerina, on the floor, shot by you.

I’m back. I brought you chips with your grilled cheese. Polly, honey?

You can’t be serious.

We’ve charged Xander Cook with your shooting. The evidence is stacked against him.

Of course it is, because Clyde and your brother framed him, and I’m starting to think you’re in on this too.

Oh! Hey, what’s going on here?

Oh, we’re just talking shop. Is there anything you need, sweetheart?

No, not really. I was just looking for Holly.

Wasn’t she upstairs with you?

Well, she was, and I came down here to make her some lunch, and when I went back up, she was gone.

She’s probably just feeling cooped up. Check the, uh, check the grounds.

Uh, the garden. In fact, why don’t I come and help you?

No, gosh, that’s, that’s okay. I’ll find her. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. It’s nice to see you, Harris.

Well, detective, as soon as I see my brother, I promise you’ll be the first to know. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go find my stepdaughter.

Yeah, we’re not done here.

Hi. Can you help me?

Oh, Holly Jonas. Wow, it’s nice to see that you’re doing better and you’re up and about.

Thanks. Um, I need to speak with Tate Black.

Well, I’m sorry, but that’s not going to happen.

Why not?

Well, for one, he’s in interrogation with his parents right now. And for another, he is in police custody and may be charged with another felony.

So, he’s in there?

We can’t allow you to see him, Holly. He violated the terms of his release. And he broke into your house last night. But he And I also have a feeling that your mom does not know you’re here. So, why don’t you have a seat and I’ll give her a call.

Are you telling me that John killed that girl?

I didn’t see it happen. I mean, it wasn’t hard to piece together though. Marlena, John was the pawn at that time. I mean, he, he, he wasn’t even, he wasn’t considered human. He was, he was more like a tool, a weapon. An assassin.

Yeah. Look, I know that John went to Winterbourne Academy when he was younger. I know that he trained there.

Yes. Which made it very appealing to anybody. Evil bastard at the time to recruit him.

But do you think that John meant to kill that girl? It could have been an accident.

I mean, John’s brain had been scrambled, reprogrammed. I don’t know, maybe he, maybe he felt threatened in some way. Maybe he snapped. I don’t know. All I knew at that moment was, the mission was complete. Message sent. And this poor young girl was dead. So I grabbed John, took off for Salem.

I held my daughter’s lifeless body in my hands, telling her of the memories of her child stories. The memories that we made are trips we took together. She was the only thing in this world that mattered to me. The only reason I had for living. And after her funeral, I, I developed another reason to go. I brought it in plant. To undermine Victor, every chance I got. And I swore to myself that if I ever found a man who killed my daughter, that I would make, make him pay. And now, after all these years, I have finally found. You.

I thought this whole thing was behind us. But then John and I confronted Konstantin about his intentions with Maggie. Turns out to be the same man from Aria.

John’s face was covered when that girl was killed. How could Konstantin know?

He said it was his eyes.

Steve, I was John’s doctor. I was trying to help him find his identity. Why am I just hearing about this?

In trying to keep this secret from John, I just didn’t think I could tell you either. I’m sorry.

Does Kayla know?

No.

How have you been living with us all this time?

It’s a terrible memory. I kept it buried. And as you know, there were times in my life when I didn’t know who I was either. When the DiMeras had wiped my memories from me. Now, how I wish I didn’t. This whole thing had stayed in the past. I wish I could have protected my friend from the knowledge of what he did.
But then Konstantin showed up in Salem, and one of the times that John and I confronted him about Maggie, he mentioned his hometown of Aria. And it all unraveled from there.

Yes, yes, yes, John! Now do you remember?

I don’t remember! I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. But damn it, I have always had this feeling in my gut.

I hope that feeling eats you alive! And as for me, I will not rest until I get my revenge. You know, you should have killed me that day, huh? But instead you chose to murder my daughter in cold blood and for that Make no mistake. I will make you pay

So now you’re detaining me in my own home Damn it, Michaels, I could make one call and have you fired.

The secretary cannot fire a detective, only the police commissioner can. Just tell me where Stefan is and I’ll go.

Oh, for the hundredth time, I don’t know. And if I did, I’d haul his ass down here because talking to you is a colossal waste of time. Face facts, Xander Cook shot you, not my brother.

Stefan shot me, he pulled the trigger.

And what proof do you have of that? There was an eyewitness at the crime.

That would be me. I saw Stefan shoot me.

I’m not a little kid, you know.

You’re a minor.

So that means I’m allowed no voice?

Not one that loud.

Listen, Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong when he came to see me last night. He didn’t break in. I let him in. Me. I did.

Okay, settle down.

I’m telling you the truth. Why won’t you just listen to me?

Holly. She’s, she’s here to see me.

Oh, my God, there you are. Honey, what were you thinking? I’ve been worried sick.

That’s it, that girl’s done enough. I’m gonna go talk to her right now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Nicole’s here.

I came to see Tate. I need to talk to him.

Honey, now is not the time.

Well, when is the time, Mom? When it’s too late?

You haven’t even been medically cleared to leave the house yet.

Oh, God.

Jada, thank you for calling.

Honey, we are going home. Now. I will send for someone to pick up your car later.

Thanks again, Jada.

Oh, you pulled that out of your ass. How can you prove you saw Stefan and not Xander?

Once I find your brother, you’re gonna have the proof.

You have nothing. This is a ridiculous theory.

Oh, I have my word. And that means something. I’m a detective and a Navy SEAL.

Whose brain has been scrambled so many times it could be served up with toast.

I will find Stefan. And when I do, I’m gonna take down every dirty bastard That’s involved in this mess.

That was not a good move on Holly’s part.

No, but I wish to hell that I had a chance to talk to her face to face.

Hey.

Hey. So, I have news from the DA’s office. EJ has decided not to press charges.

Thank God.

Okay, okay. So, he can go back to the halfway house.

Yes, he can, but he will be required to wear an ankle monitor to track his whereabouts.

So you can’t skip out again, Tate.

He won’t. He won’t.

And he’s not going to be there much longer.

And, uh, when Holly’s feeling better, maybe she can come visit me?

I wouldn’t count on it. The DA has also filed for a restraining order. You are not allowed within 100 yards of the DiMera mansion, Or Holly Jonas.

You chose to murder my daughter in cold blood!

John has always been afraid that he’d done unthinkable things in the past.

The man who went to Aria with me was not John, Marlena. The man we know today would never do something like that.

I know that. But you know as well as I do, that the truth would destroy him.

You knew?

John. My God.

You never said a word to me. But you told my wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Ah, there you are. Got up early, huh? Yes, I did. I was hoping that you had gone back to sleep since you were just tossing and turning for the one hour you were in bed last night. I’m okay. I just want to go see Tripp. I know. I know. And I do too, but there’s actually no rush. I talked to Sarah, she said they’re both resting comfortably.

And you, my lover, should take comfort in the fact that it is 100 percent thanks to you. Well, not 100%. It’s thanks to you too, sweetness.

And now we’re husband and wife. And I vow to love you and to cherish you with all my being. Till I draw my very last breath on this earth. Hey. Sorry to woke you. I’m sorry. Are you kidding? I am so glad to see you. How come you’re allowed out of bed? I’m not, but I know what time the shift changes. Oh, sneaky.

Whoa. Should I be jealous? Uh, your mom actually brought those. Well, I just got a muffin, so you must rate. No, I think it’s more that she feels guilty about this whole situation. Even though it’s not really her fault. Yeah, I feel guilty too. You? Why? Well, like I said, we were stuck in that tank. If you had just gone back to China when your parents wanted you to,

Gwendy, My mom didn’t mean for any of this to happen to us. I, I know she didn’t and she’s obviously horrified that it did. But with her, History has a way of repeating itself.

I just don’t think I could live with myself if something like this happened again.

Abe, we got your text. I knew we shouldn’t have gone home last night. Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. He needed to grab a few hours sleep. Okay, so, Mama flatlined, but now she’s doing better. Well, you’ll find out for yourself soon. I just don’t get it. I thought the only possible treatment for Paulina was a heart transplant.

Oh, that’s what we all thought. So then, what happened last night? Yeah, I don’t know if I can explain it. If I didn’t know better, I might think I dreamed the whole thing.

Mama?

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Oh my god, Eli. Hey baby, look, let’s not jump to conclusions, alright? I’m sure if something had changed, your dad would have let us know. Dad, where’s mom? Well, uh, they took her out for some tests, just to see if she’s as good as she feels. Okay.

Oh, well. Oh, hello. All of my favorite people. It looks like your adoring family has returned in full force. Oh, Mama, you look so much better. Well, now, I would normally be offended by that statement, but I will accept it as a compliment and say that I do feel so much better too. Thank God. So what’s the verdict?

Well, there were no arterial blockages, no arrhythmias. Her heart tissue appears healthy, defying all medical explanation. Defying medical explanation. So you’re saying that you guys don’t have any idea of what happened to bring her back. To make her heart strong again. No. It’s nothing short of a miracle.

Tripp. It is not your job to keep me safe. Okay? I don’t need your mother’s help. To get into trouble. I do that pretty regularly myself, and, and, you know, I’m pretty damn good at getting myself out of it, too. So, I mean, not to brag, but, um. You know, you’re the reason that my dad found us before we ran out of air in that beer tank.

Yeah, I am. But you, you’re the one who kept us sane. Your brilliant, fake it till you make it, advice.

And you know, everything that happened last night, before we were running out of air, I remember that really clearly, but The last part is kind of blurry. Like, maybe I’m I imagined the whole thing. Well, when you run out of oxygen, the brain generates its own sensory inputs. Meaning what? Wait, are you telling me maybe I did imagine some of it?

I don’t understand. How could I possibly be responsible for saving Wendy and Tripp? Well, for one thing, I never would have learned CPR unless you taught me. And you made me take that refresher course a few months ago. Well, I’m happy that you mastered CPR, but you were giving me way too much credit. No, that’s not all.

I never would have picked up on Wendy’s clue in the hostage video if I hadn’t learned ASL with you all those years ago. I thought you said that there were no clues in that video. Well, we didn’t think so at first. But then I finally figured out that Wendy was making the sign for beer. You’re welcome.

Okay, I had to check online to make sure, to confirm it. For some reason, that was a sign I remembered. I wonder why. Yeah. Well anyway, after I got that Wendy was signing the word for beer, John honed in on the wall behind the kids. The configuration, the materials. And suddenly it clicked that they were in a brew tank.

So we hightailed it out to the old brewery, past the airport. That is crazy. Well, I guess it’s lucky that you remembered sign language. It’s very lucky. I just wish I’d picked up on that clue sooner, so we wouldn’t have come so close to losing those kids. Yeah, but look. Wendy and Tripp are doing great.

They’re safe, and they’re okay. Yeah. Okay, what else? Obviously, you were worried about something else. Weston broke out of Statesville, as you know. Yeah, and it’s awful, but there was nothing that you could do. Okay, what else? I don’t know. It’s just the whole, the whole nightmare. I mean, Ava getting involved with that son of a bitch in the first place and nearly getting her son killed.

And there’s that con man Constantine trying to bilk Maggie out of the Kyriakos fortune. Not to mention Abe still has amnesia. Paulina is in the hospital dying of heart failure. Well, I hate to interrupt your litany of bad news, but um, Paulina is not dying of heart failure. What? Yeah, it’s crazy. I just was talking with Sarah and she said against all odds, Paulina’s heart is functioning normal and she’s just back to normal.

Really? Yeah. How is that possible? I don’t know. But you know, my mom would say, chalk it up to the power of prayer and love. And I, you know, I’m gonna go with that because Paulina certainly has a lot of both of those things. Yeah. Wow. That’s fantastic news. They must be so relieved. Yeah, I would think so. So, you see, things were rough last night, but this morning, we have so much to be thankful for and grateful for.

Yes. Yes, we do. You hear that, Mama? It’s a miracle. Your medical mystery. A mystery I am not interested in solving. Because I do not want to jinx you. There is no way you are going to jinx it. We have you back and we are never letting you go again. And, um, Yeah. Well, my darling, there is, um, another very important miracle to celebrate, aside from my miracle, uh, and also my beautiful Lonnie finally being free and my beautiful Chanel being a happy newlywed.

You two can finally go on your honeymoon. Have You know, we actually haven’t even thought about that with everything that’s been going on. Yeah, and I wouldn’t really feel comfortable going too far right now. You, you understand that, right John? Yeah, yeah, of course I do. So, Mama, you said that there was another miracle that we had to celebrate?

Um, well, uh, That is, uh, My Abraham finally has his memory back. What? Dad! Is that true? Yes, yes it is. And I’m very happy to say that I remember everything. And I remember the day I found out that you were my daughter. And even though eventually I found out that You weren’t mine biologically. I still, I still felt so much for you.

And I always will, and I am so proud to be your father.

I love you, Dad. I have no words.

Oh, you know what else? I am so Well, my wonderful wife. I mean, I I remember falling in love with you for the first time. And I’m so happy that I got to fall in love with you all over again.

Wow, this is a, uh, this is a beautiful moment. Um, I gotta say, as much as I love my family, uh, well, most of them anyway. As most people know, the DiMeras, we’ve, we’ve had the devil in our midst, but man, the Carvers, I swear you guys must have an angel. Yes, we do. My

memory’s pretty hazy from last night, too, so What do you think happened? Well, I

I figured I’d find you in here. You gonna kick me out? Well, actually, I’ve broken so many rules today already. I let five people into a room that should have only had two people max. So, I might as well break another rule. But do me a favor and just sit, please. Sit. Is it okay if I listen to you as long as Wendy?

Yeah, yeah, I have had it. Alright, sit forward for me. Deep breath.

You know, I thought that we would have so much to celebrate when I got released from prison. But then Eli’s family house practically burned down to the ground and Mom, you were so sick and ugh. I guess I was just really afraid that this would not be a happy visit. Oh, we are on a major role with the good news.

We are

Oh, I’m sorry. I gotta take this call. Um, we’ll be back with a surprise or two. Okay, well you know I like surprises, so hurry back. I think I know exactly what those two surprises are. Oh! Hi! It’s our anniversary, buddies! Yeah, we haven’t seen you since you tied the knot. Congratulations, you two. Thank you. I hear you got some good news about your mom, Chanel.

Oh, yes. Did we ever. Well, we are on our way to see her. Uh, these are for her. This one’s for her. And this one’s for Tripp and Wendy. Oh! What, uh, what are they celebrating? Haven’t you heard? What? Yeah, they, uh, they got caught up in something that had nothing to do with them. They were held hostage. What? Yeah, it was a close call, but they were rescued by Steve and John, and now they’re in the hospital recovering.

Well, you know, it actually sounds like there weren’t three miracles, but there were four. Four? Yeah. Because you have Mama’s miraculous recovery, Lonnie being free, and then Wendy and Tripp, and Abe. Hey, what about Abe? He, uh, he got his memory back. What? Yeah. When did that happen? Uh, right after Mama’s heart started beating again, and now he says he remembers everything.

Wow. I mean, what a relief that must be for Abe, and Paulina, and, and your entire family. Yeah, and you had a lot to do with it. All those hours you worked with him, they really paid off. Well, I think you’re giving me too much credit. Really, you all did an amazing job. You were so supportive and encouraging.

Wow. I mean, for somebody to get their memory back like that’s so sweet. Suddenly and completely? That is very unusual. Yeah. It seems like everything about yesterday was unusual.

Her blood gases look good. Are her lungs still clear? You know, I really can’t hear anything if you’re talking. Sorry. Um, I take it that you looked at her chart? I did, yeah. And your own?

Man, they say that doctors are the worst patients, but you are in a league all your own. Have you met this one? Ah, from the family. Definitely. Are you supposed to be out of bed? No, he isn’t. No, but Tripp and I are feeling much better today. That’s what we like to hear. Yeah, but I would like to hear it from the actual doctor who’s on duty, if that’s okay.

How are they doing? Uh, well, they’re Levels are good and they’re stable. They definitely look a lot better than when they came in. Great. Yeah, well, Wendy, these are for you. Oh, beautiful. Thank you so much. Yeah, open them over here. Wow, look at this arrangement. Lovely. Yeah, from my mom. Oh. Uh, Kayla, if you have a minute, I’d love to chat with you about something.

Sure. Yeah, of course. Okay, we’ll be back in a few. Okay. So, Your mom was already here this morning, huh? Was she here to spin her side of the story? Dad, I know you’re angry. Okay, I am too. But, Clyde dragged her into this. She had no choice. Trip, People died because of those tainted drugs she was running through the bistro.

You and Wendy could have died.

Mom was trying to protect us. Okay, she begged us to leave Salem. She wanted us to move to China when Wendy’s family wanted us to. But I couldn’t leave her here to let her deal with this on her own. Hold on. You knew your mom was involved in that drug operation? Since when? Answer me, Tripp. How long have you known and why didn’t you tell me?

I guess we’re not gonna tell the kids about Lexi. They wouldn’t believe us. That my first wife appeared to us from the afterlife. And miraculously healed us both. Well, I may have had a few drugs in me and you’re still on the mend from a traumatic brain injury. But I am quite sure, quite sure that you and I both didn’t imagine the same thing.

Thank you. But, I wonder Go on, go on. I, uh, I wonder if you’re getting back some memories of me. Might cause you to, uh, to wonder why you’re with me. What? Well, you, you’re, you’re remembering all the lies I told, right? All the problems I’ve caused. Yes. Let me tell you something, Mayor Price Carver. You are a complicated, amazing woman.

And most people have never had what I’ve had once, let alone twice. And I can’t, I just can’t wait to spend the rest of these years making new memories with you. Hmm. Yeah. Uh, thank you. No, I appreciate it.

Well? The FBI approved my status change to part time special agent. So now I get to consult with the DOJ. They gave me everything that I asked for and more. Ah. That’s because you are the best. Hmm, I’m so proud of you. Oh, now you know what that means. More money, and I get to spend more time with you and our precious twins.

And less time in harm’s way. Yeah, if I take the job. Wait, what? Eli, this is everything that you’ve always wanted. Except it’s in DC. I mean now that we’re back at home with family. I don’t know how I feel about leaving. You?

I don’t know either.

Dad the reason I didn’t tell you about mom’s situation is because I knew you would go ballistic and I know that’s not an excuse. I just I I’m, sorry, you’re right. That’s not an excuse But i’m not mad at you I’m angry with your mother. And I understand why you’re defending her. Because you’re a good son.

I’m just grateful you’re both okay. Son, I was scared. I was so scared when I couldn’t get you to breathe. And I know I broke your rib. I felt a crack. I’m sorry. No, it was a minor crack, okay? It’ll heal quickly. Listen, you did everything right. I’m sorry. It’s very common for someone’s rib to get cracked when you’re using the force that’s needed for CPR.

You saved my life, so a sore rib is a very small price to pay. I’m so grateful for you. I love you, buddy. I love you, too. Oh,

my darling. You know, I, I still, I still feel like, well, like, I’m in a dream. Sitting here with my husband, who now has, has his memories back. And, uh, most of them with me are, Beautiful and perfect, right? You’re suppressing the ones that aren’t. Definitely, definitely. No, seriously, seriously, Abraham. I, I’ve dreamed of this for so many months, though.

Having you back. 100%.

Oh, I’m now, oh my god. Thank Lexi. We will be making many, many more beautiful and perfect memories together.

Hey. Hi. There they are. The sweet bits. Yeah. I hope we’re not interrupting. No, we actually were just on our way to go see your mom down the hall. Yeah. Hey, Chanel. Johnny. Hey, you guys. Hey, it’s good to see you both. Yeah, we’re so glad to see that you’re doing okay. Well, we’ll let your kids visit. Do you need anything from home?

Either one of you? No. Thank you. I’ve, uh, got everything I need right here. Me too. All right. Well, we’ll see you all later then. Bye bye. Later. Thanks for everything. Yeah. So, Chanel, how’s your mom doing? Well, the past few weeks have been really rough on her, which is an understatement. But, um, now she’s, she’s doing much better.

Oh, that’s great to hear. Yeah. And you, uh, looks like you’ve kept up with the dangerous capers, your new partner in crime. New and improved. Yeah, well, this most recent caper was definitely one for the ages, but we’re fine, thank God. You’re welcome. Chanel, is that a wedding ring? Oh, yeah, yeah, it is. Johnny and I actually got married in my mom’s hospital room on Valentine’s Day.

Congratulations! Oh my god, you guys! Yeah, husband and wife, huh? Yeah, you know, for better, for worse, etc, etc. Oh, that is such great news. I’m so happy for you. You’re here. Congratulations.

I always knew you two would wind up together. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. So? It would seem as though we are all exactly where we belong. Well.

I don’t know if I’ve said it often enough or loud enough or even at all, but Kayla, Steve, thank you for all that you’ve done for us. Letting Abe stay with you while he was trying to figure things out and reintroducing him to the life he lived before the accident. And not to mention the Wonderful medical attention you gave us, Kayla.

Mm hmm. Well, you know, I’m not sure that it was the medical attention that cured Paulina or got your memory back. And guess what? You’ve thanked us more than enough. Oh, no, no, no, no. Never, never enough. You are our great and gracious friends. And I appreciate your, your kindness and your hospitality. But you are losing me as a house guest.

So, does this mean you’re moving back in with your lovely wife? Well, if, if she’ll have me. Let me think about it. Oh, I think, okay. I think I can put up with you again. Are you sure about that? Yes, yes, I am sure. If you can, you know, think you can put up with me again, smothering you with all the love and attention, you think that you can handle that?

Well, I look forward to it. And the reciprocating. Well, as sorry as we are to lose you as a roommate, we are so thrilled for both of you, really. Hey, and how about To make the transition easier for us, you come to dinner as soon as you’re out of the hospital. Ah, great idea. We’ll have just a big celebration.

Champagne, confetti, the works. Oh, honey, honey, we are there. Let’s just hope it’s soon. Oh, gosh, yes, of course. I am so happy for all my friends. Wow, wow, wow. Amazing. Love you guys.

Wow, another wedding. What do you mean, another one? Well, um, Before Dr. Horton and your parents came in, we were talking about last night. About what we remembered, and Oh, it’s my mom. Well, she obviously got my voicemail. No, I’m gonna go. Please don’t.

Why

Cher? The Cher

Shut? Mama

Does she just hang up on you? Yeah, sort of. She’s mad that she heard about my near death experience from the news, not accounting for the time difference or my being unconscious, but arguing with her would’ve gotten me nowhere. So she was probably just worried about you. Especially what happened to your brother.

I mean, your parents would be devastated if something happened to you. No, I know.

When Johnny was talking about our old capers, it made me realize I’ve been scared before. I’m never as scared as I was last night. But at the same time,

I never felt as safe as I did in your arms.

These are for the staff. A variety of croissants and donuts. I didn’t steal one of these before anybody else gets to them. Go for the almond croissant. I will go for the almond croissant. Thank you so much. Also, hey, I was thinking about what you guys said earlier about, um, a honeymoon and not wanting to go.

so much. Super far away. Mm hmm. You could always honeymoon at the Horton Cabin. I mean, it’s not a 5 star hotel, let me tell you that much, but it is private and very cozy. Well, private and cozy sounds pretty good to me. Uh, if you’re sure. No, I’m sure. I wouldn’t have offered otherwise. Okay. Uh, well then, what do you say, Chanel?

I say that as soon as we get mama home and all settled in, then let’s do it. Oh, Lonnie. Oh, I was hoping that would be my surprise. Those little angels or my beautiful grandbabies. We’re all Too excited to see their grandma running around this room like, like little chickens with their head cut off and crying when I don’t let them jump on the bed with you.

Well, I love seeing them running around. Oh, y’all don’t even mind all these little Goldfish cracker crumbs in my bed. I was just thrilled to have some time with our precious Jules and Carver. All right. Well, Carver and Jules are at the park with Grandma Julie, who was kind enough to meet me there. Well, I was hoping that they could, you know, could have stayed a little bit longer, but maybe you’ll bring them back later.

Definitely. Well, I do, I admit. I’m very envious of great grandma Julie getting to babysit those sweethearts. But when I finally get to go home, you’re gonna have to let this grandma make up for you lost time with those two. Well, well, why don’t you say anything, Lonnie? Look, you don’t want me to babysit them.

No, no, Mom. No, that is not what I said. That’s not it at all. I mean, if we were going to stay here in Salem, then yes, you would get to watch them all the time. If you were going to stay in Salem? I guess dad didn’t tell you about Eli’s potential job offer in D. C.? You did not? I didn’t think you needed to know.

Because Lonnie said it was only a Potential job offer. Okay, so Tell me now It would be a great opportunity for Eli mama, but We know that you love having us here in Salem, and we love being here But, you’re going. Only if you will truly be happy for us, Mama. And if not, we’ll stay here. But, you just, you say the word.

Oh, no, no, no. Don’t, don’t put this on me. Mama, we mean it. If you don’t want us to go Of course But, oh, okay.

Kay, I know you have to do what’s right for your family. I just, you know, hope you have a guest room there in D. C. Cause when I finally get that green light to travel I’ll be there as often as I can. You’ll be just sick to death of me. Never. Are we interrupting something? What’s going on? We’re starving.

What’s going on? Where have you two been? Oh, we just took a little detour. Three, two, one. What are you doing? Just waiting for someone else to barge in, or the phone to ring, or a nurse to come and check our vitals. Yeah. I think that we might actually be safe. It might just be you and me. For one minute, at least.

Oh, well, then we’ve been working a lot.

Now, uh, where were we? What were we talking about? Oh, um. Well, we were talking about what we thought we remembered from our ordeal in the beer tank, you know. When we were struggling to breathe. Right. So I thought I remembered. But I was so out of it, who knows. Tell me what you remember.

Okay. I will.

Trip, did you really propose to me last night?

Jules and Carver were here. They were indeed. Your very adorable niece and nephew. Yeah, okay, very adorable and very rambunctious. Eli had to whisk them away and drop them off with a Julie. Ah, well, we’ll see them later.

Sorry to interrupt. Oh, no, no, no. You are not interrupting. When can I go home, Sarah? Well, your blood work is still looking great and your incision is healing nicely. So if you keep on this path, you may be discharged as early as tomorrow. What about today? She drives a tough bargain. You still have to follow up with your oncologist and your endocrinologist.

So the whole ordeal isn’t quite over yet. But The end is most definitely in sight.

Hey John, give me a call man. We need to talk about the fallout from Weston’s escape.

Hey, lover. Okay, I’m ready to go. I was just in with the most amazing patient who is making an excellent recovery, so Ah. What’s going on? Just Clyde Weston’s escape from prison. It’s still eating at me. I mean, not only did Tripp and Wendy suffer through that ordeal because of him. My God, that monster killed our niece.

Kidnapped you and Joe. And he’s out there somewhere planning God knows what. Yeah, no doubt. Well, you know what? He is going to be found and brought back to prison. It’s just a matter of time. Yeah, well, that son of a bitch better damn well hope that the police get him before I do.

Good morning. You are at my place. Remember? I brought you here last night. Yeah. Yeah. I slept on the couch. Sorry, I took your bed. No, don’t pee. I didn’t hear a peep out of you all night. I assume you got some rest. Yeah. Good. How you feeling? Like I got hit by a truck. Coffee smells really good though. And fresh algae.

You’re spoiling me. That’s what friends are for.

That was really tough to see. I know. Our beloved home in ashes and cinders. It was a blow, a blow to all of us. Well, the blessing is that you all made it out alive. Absolutely. But what kind of a criminal, what kind of a sociopath sets fire to a house with, with innocent people inside? The worst kind. Look, I just really hope that this investigation produces some solid leads.

I’m not holding my breath. But we’re moving forward. Yeah. Gonna restore, repair, rebuild, refurbish. I’m excited about that. So tell me, what’s up with this mysterious time capsule? Oh, the message from my grandparents. It’s great, but we have no idea what the message is. I’m sure they didn’t intend for us to find out by setting the house on fire.

So, what do you think will happen first? The house will get finished or you’ll find the key to this time capsule? Time will tell. Tell me some more about Polina. Yep, she does not need a heart transplant, really. They’re keeping under close surveillance, but no, it’s a miracle. It’s a do over. Abe got his memory back.

Yes, yes, you should see Abe. I mean, he is practically dancing on air. His smile, it could light up a city. Always could. Yeah. I mean, we go back a long way, and Speaking of Abraham and Paulina, you know what they just love? They love having you and Lonnie and the twins around. I love that so much. Do you suppose there’s any chance in the world that you would move back to Salem?

Um, sorry, Grandma, but No. It’s not gonna happen.

Those are so delicious. Thank you for making these again for the kids. They couldn’t get enough of them, and neither could I. You know, creating culinary delights is one of my great joys. Be careful. You might get a permanent job here. Fortunately, it would be a lot easier, though, I think. One house has been filled to the brim with guests.

Oh, I love it. It’s wonderful to have all four children running around. It makes me feel like a real papu. I always hoped for grandchildren. Alas, it was never meant to be.

I’m so sorry about your daughter, Constantine. What a terrible tragedy. You know, it is not true what they say that time heals all wounds. Not for me. You see, I miss her more, not less, as time goes on.

Thank you, Nora. Are you sure that you’re up for this? What, breakfast with Eric? Yeah, why wouldn’t I be? Well, you’ve been through so much with Steve lately. Um, I don’t know. How are you sleeping? Not well as I understand. You still having those nightmares?

They’re getting worse, in fact. I’m not too surprised. Having to save Wendy and Tripp from that tank. Bring them back from the From the edge of death.

Not to give anybody nightmares, I’m I’m imagining that triggered a lot of your own bad memories. Yeah, it did, it did. And you know what, I’d rather not talk about it right now, is that okay? Sure. Anytime you’re ready. I’ll let you know, okay? Sure. Let’s not keep Eric waiting.

Well, how is my grandson doing? Oh, you’re talking about the most beautiful kid in the world? That is the one. He’s been fantastic. He’s holding his head up now. Like a champ. Hey, thank you for your help with Lucas. Yeah, of course. So is there any chance of him coming out of hiding soon? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but, uh, with Clyde out of prison, I’d rather he just stay put.

Yeah, I can’t believe Clyde escaped. I mean, how could that even happen? With a whole lot of serious help from outside. Missing Salem Dr. Tripp Johnson and Salem Police Tech Specialist Wendy Shin rescued at Salem’s Old Brewery on the outskirts of the city. Thank God. Kidnapper identified but nowhere to be found.

An investigation is underway to determine whether the incident is linked to the Statesville prison escape of notorious criminal Clyde Weston. Son of a bitch. Like

sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

So, any news on Tripp and Wendy? Well, I was at the hospital earlier. And? And, they’re doing pretty well, all things considered. You know, we got there just in time, I implied. Leaving them to die, and then that crooked cop. I mean, Goldman fooled everybody. I swear to God, if I ever get my hands on either one of them, I am going Get in line.

What about, what about the manhunt? Any news on, um, where our modern day Bonnie and Clyde might be? Not that anyone’s shared with me. And that escape. I mean, Clyde, he had to have outside help, but I don’t think Goldman could have pulled it off alone. Do you think Stephan had something to do with this?

Stephan? Why would you think that? I mean, we both know Clyde had Stephan under his thumb. Yeah. Um.

I don’t think that, um, Steppen had anything to do with it. I mean, and besides, I mean, what is he going to know about pulling off a prison break, huh?

All right, you know, time to take your pills. Oh, okay. Thank you, Nurse Nightingale. Yeah, wait, wait, wait. Nurse Nightingale, really? Yeah, I had to, uh, read, uh, her biography. I think it was, uh, sixth grade. I don’t know, something just Stuck with me about her story. You know, she was a strong, empowered woman. It was a compliment.

I took it as such. Now stop stalling and take your meds, Commander. Very good.

Grandma, I was waiting to tell you this, but I got a promotion. A promotion? A big one. A lot more responsibility. I’ll be working with the FBI and the DOJ. Which means I’ll be doing a lot more traveling, domestically and internationally. Is this something you want? Absolutely. Yes. Oh, my beautiful, brave grandson.

I’m so incredibly proud of you. Thank you. But I’m proud of you. I mean, the way you’ve been handling this house fire, you’re incredibly strong. The way you handle everything, you’re so brave. It’s the family that makes me brave. Oh, darling. Go tell Doug about this promotion. Oh, this is so funny.

Your compassion touches me.

I, I, I know what it’s like to lose a child. I’ve lost two, as you know. But you still have your wonderful Sarah. Yeah, she’s a blessing. Yes. Although I do think I interfere in her life too much. I, uh, I focus too much on her. Yeah. Now that her sister and brother are gone. Well, I doubt that. Sarah adores you.

Then again, who doesn’t?

What are you thinking? Oh,

I’m just, you know, I’m, I’m reminded of, um, the power of touch. Um, I’ve read a lot of articles lately about how important it is for everyone later, you know, in their later years. That touch can be the most powerful ways to communicate emotion.

I’m grateful to you, Constantine, and not just for the comfort of our hands touching, but also all the stories that you told me about Victor, and then the latest story about your daughter. Katerina,

you’ve touched my heart. Oh, you have touched me as well, Maggie. I cherish our friendship.

I cherish you. You

are a very special woman, Maggie. Well, I’m, I’m, uh, I’m grateful that I’m special in your eyes. However, I must be honest. As much as I’ve tried to fight it, as much as I hoped that this guilt would eventually subside, it hasn’t.

Constantine being close to another man, to someone other than my husband, my late husband at that, I feel Like it’s a betrayal. I feel like I’m betraying Victor.

Maggie, did you not tell me that Victor loved you deeply, unselfishly? So, why would he want you to continue in life without being cherished?

Victor not want you to be happy?

Did I hurt, oh, did I hurt you? No. No. No, it only hurts, uh, when I move. Talk or breathe. Not when you snore. Wait, don’t do that. Don’t make me laugh. That hurts. Sorry. What are you doing? Oh God. It’s okay. It’s as good as any nurse at the hospital. So thank you. I really appreciate it. Yeah. I Thank you. You have to take that.

Might be a trip. Uh, hello? Can you talk? Uh, well, I’m in the middle of something right now. Well, wrap it up as soon as you can. We need to meet face to face. Okay. When? One hour. I’ll be at my office, waiting. Okay, good. I will, uh, I’ll see you then. Okay, I am going to go meet Steve and we’re going to go visit Tripp together.

So, um, you’re going to be okay for a few hours by yourself? I made it this far. Yeah. Call me if you need anything, alright?

Oh, um, I’m so happy you both made it. Hey, so are we. Hey, hey. Buddy. Please, join us. It is great to be celebrating something positive for a change. And, we do have a lot to celebrate. Yes, we do. Matter of fact, last night when we were getting ready to go to bed, Abe called. I mean, that voice sounded just like the Abe we’ve all known and loved for all these years.

Yeah, he left me a message, and you could hear it in his voice how relieved he was to be himself again. Yeah. I’ve checked on Paulina. She’s doing amazingly well. Just blessings and miracles. Yes, and now a christening of our own little blessing and miracle. Jude Verdi. You know, Joan and I would love to host a little celebration after the ceremony, if that’s alright with you.

That’s very thoughtful, Mom. But Nicole’s already offered to host a party at the DiMera mansion. Oh. I hope that’s okay. I’m just surprised. No, I think it’s a great idea. It’s larger than the townhouse. Alright, any, any thoughts about godparents? Yes, actually. Sloan, she asked Melinda Trask to be godmother.

Really? Well, they’ve gotten really close lately. I mean, she was the one who found Jude for us. Oh, of course. But I do plan on asking Brady to be Godfather. Oh, that’s nice. I’m sure he’ll be stoked about that. Yeah, I hope so. John, you look beat. I don’t know, why wouldn’t you? Trip, Wendy, damn. That was some rescue.

Yeah, you’re a real hero, John. No, no, no, no, no hero here. Far from it. You know, I have been meaning to ask you, with that beautiful red mane of yours, are you of Irish descent? Hmm? Actually, I have no idea. My parents, um, they died when I was quite young. I grew up on a farm and I never knew any of my other biological relatives.

My main name is Simmons. Um, it could be Irish, I guess. Or Welsh. Or Scottish. Definitely Anglo Saxon. Yeah. Well, maybe I should have my DNA tested. Oh, , be careful. You never know who you might end up having as a relative. I myself believe I am a descendant of Les and the, the son of Zeus, the, the king of Gods.

Um, but then again, I, I could be a descendant of Hades and we know who He’s the ruler of . Well, although wherever we’re descendant from you and I. It doesn’t affect anything, does it? I mean, you can’t change the past. No, you can’t change it.

Sometimes there is something in our past that is so foul, we will never ever forget it.

Yes, send the arrangement to Paulina Price. The mayor, yes. And sign the card. Um, nothing but goodness and love. Maggie Kiriakis. That’s right. Thank you. Is your friend allowed to have flowers now? Oh yeah, she is. And she happens to love orchids. Oh my goodness! Come in! Have you had breakfast? Oh, we have blueberry muffins and sweet bits.

Mmm, well then come and sit down. Oh no, I can’t. I’m actually here just to pack our things. We leave this afternoon. Oh, you’re leaving so soon? Well, he has to because he has a wonderful new job. Tell him, tell him about the promotion. Tell. Well, for one, I’ll be spending a lot more time on international cases.

Impressive. With whom? Uh, the FBI. I’m a federal agent. Yes, he’s been a federal agent for a long time, but he’s done so well that he has been moved up. And he is going to have a new job with a great deal of promotion. Power and responsibility. He’s gonna rid the whole world of evil. Okay, Grandma. Anyone can do it.

You can’t, Eli.

You know, maybe Jude can wear the same christening gown that you wore when you were a baby. You still have it? Of course I do. It’s in a, in a bin in the basement. I’ll make sure I pull it out. Oh. Hey! Wow, looky here. Steve, sit, join us. We’re helping Harry plan Jude’s christening. Oh, well, you know, I’d love to join in on that, but, um, actually I saw John’s car outside.

We have a couple of things to discuss about a case. You mind if I borrow him for an hour or two? No, just return him in one piece. Hey, Steve, we’ll see you at the christening moment. I wouldn’t miss it.

So what’s up? Ava’s meeting us at the office in 20 minutes.

I trust you, Ava. I do, but dammit, you’re up to something. I know you are.

Grandma, it takes a hell of a lot more than one person to rid the world of evil. Don’t sell yourself short. You wouldn’t have this responsibility if you weren’t the best of the best. Okay. Spoken like a true loving and biased grandmother. You have made your family very proud, Eli. I I must be going. It was lovely to meet you and your lovely wife and children.

And, uh, I have to make a call to Greece before it’s too late in the evening.

We heard about Paulina’s recovery. Abe must be over the moon. He is. Uh, Lonnie, Schnell, I mean, we all are. Yeah. And I heard about Abe, too. He remembers everything. He does. It sucks that we can’t spend more time with them, but with this new job, I gotta get back to D. C. Yeah. But I’m thrilled that we’re leaving happy and not heartbroken.

Thank God. Thank you again, Maggie, for taking a sit. We really appreciate it. That’s Maggie’s new occupation. She’s running the Kiriakis Mansion bed and breakfast for displaced loved ones. Hey, hey, I am delighted with this new occupation. And I’m so happy that you came back, all of you. Please, I love being surrounded by family.

Come on, Rafe, nothing? Seriously, no leads? I mean, what about past hideouts or places Clyde used to visit? Okay, okay, just please call me if there’s any news. Thank you.

Well, there she is. Okay, let’s make this quick. I want to check in on Tripp and then I got some things I need to take care of. Then let’s get down to work. Okay. Yeah, speaking of which, after that stunt you pulled, we’re just lucky no one’s on to us. Everyone assumes Officer Goldman engineered Weston’s escape.

What he has over her, I can’t imagine. Oh, well, from what it looked like at the airfield, she’s his girlfriend. What? I didn’t see that coming. Okay, okay, okay, did you see anything else? I mean, did they say or do anything that would indicate where they’re headed or what their plans are? No, no, nothing, okay?

Just that monster was taunting me about my son being dead. Oh, my God. You realize that we’re in this mess because we trusted you, right? We didn’t expect you to stab us in the back. Okay, you know what? Get off your high horse, both of you, okay? You double crossed me first. The original plan was we were going to bust Weston out of prison and then let him go, so I just went back to the original plan.

Besides, We had no choice. There’s always a choice. Okay, well, you know what? Weston’s in the wind now. Nothing we can do. That doesn’t make it okay.

I can’t do this, man. We gotta make this right. I can’t live with myself. Knowing that SushiPath is out there destroying people’s lives because of us. I’m with you. You know, just a mere fact that we assisted in a prison escape. We scratched that. We didn’t assist in anything. We made it happen. No, it’s wrong.

It’s wrong. And it’s not what we do. Oh, so holier than thou. Okay, you know what? We have all three done things that we are not proud of. Okay? Some really bad things. Yeah, some really bad things. But those things are in the past. Not the past. John.

You okay?

Alright, the car’s all packed up. I’m picking Lonnie and the twins up at the hospital. Oh my goodness, it was wonderful to see you all. Please, please come back soon. I will, and you know I’m going to keep sending you pictures. You’d better. Grandma.

So proud of you. Just about to burst. And so happy. That your family’s all united and, and you know that’s the way it should be. Yeah, so am I. I love you. I love you. See you later. Bye.

Oh, oh Maggie. Uh, I know you have a million people living in this house right now, but without Eli and his family it’s gonna be a, an empty place for me and

Do I sound silly? Not at all. I know what it’s like to live in a house full of people. And still feel lonely.

Fatherhood looks good on you. Well, I’m fulfilled. It’s just, you know, June and I have an amazing connection and I just, I just really love that feeling. I’m so glad to hear that. Sloane, how is she? Um What? What did I miss? Go ahead, tell Dad. I had supper at their house a little while back and She got bombed.

Sloane got ways to that. Look, it isn’t so crazy unusual. I mean, she’s got a very taxing, demanding job. But she’s trying to be a perfect mom. What else is there? Well, I, it’s just sometimes I think she gets jealous of Jude. Oh. Have you two had that conversation? Yeah, I tried to explain it to her. It’s, I just, okay, maybe I am a bit obsessed with Jude.

I mean, I hate letting him cry or being apart from him. I understand that. Yeah, have I ever thanked you too? For what? Just being amazing parents, to me, you know. For being loving and so kind. You made it so easy, you always have. And you have thanked us. Many, many times in fact. But, Always nice to hear.

Voicemail. Again. Stefan! Quit blowing me off, okay? You call me, or you fine me. If you don’t, you’re not gonna like what I’m gonna do.

Right, no one but the three of us can ever know that we were behind the prison break. Oh yeah? Well, there’s still the issue of your mob pals helping us out. Okay, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it. You keep saying that, Ava. But what’s it really gonna cost you? Whatever the price is, it is worth it because we saved our son.

Okay? Are we done here? For now. I’m going back to the hospital. Alright, I’ll head out with you. You coming, John? I’ve got a few things I need to follow up on here. Okay. You take it easy, man. Yeah, you too.

I need to see you. Copy to Oblige, where are you? Black Patch. I’ll be right there.

Hey, what’s up with John? Not sure what you mean. Really? Okay, well, you know, you know him a lot better than I do, but sometimes it seems like he just checks out. Yeah, well, I’ve known John for over 30 years, and sometimes he’s a mystery even to me. Yeah, right. Okay. Um, hey, you know, uh, By the way,

You know when you pulled Trip out of the beer tank, and he wasn’t breathing, I, uh, I just about stopped breathing too. But we brought him back. No, you didn’t. You did, so thank you. I am incredibly grateful to you, and I just hope that you know that. I do. And hey, we, we got Wendy to thank too for being smart with that sign language.

Yeah, she’s a very smart, smart young lady, that’s for sure. Look, look, I know, I know that you, you disapprove of the way that I handle things. Okay, no, forget that. It’s an understatement. You, you, you hate the way I handle things, but look, I just need you to know that the safety trip was the only thing that was on my mind.

Okay, hey, boo. I didn’t mean to drag you into this mess, you know that, right? But if you had just trusted me, maybe John and I could have saved him. Without letting Weston go. Yeah, or maybe not.

Okay. Agree to disagree. You’re going to the hospital. Yeah, maybe a little later. I just have a few things I need to check on at the house first.

Been a while since I’ve caught up with you. So, as they say in New Jersey, How you doing?

John admits they are getting worse. Marlena isn’t surprised after having to save Tripp and Wendy from the edge of death, feeling that would give anyone nightmares. Marlena guesses it triggered John’s own bad memories. John confirms it did but he doesn’t want to talk about it right now. Marlena agrees not to keep Eric waiting.

Eric and Roman talk at the Brady Pub. Roman thanks Eric for his help with Lucas. Eric asks if there’s any chance of Lucas coming out of hiding anytime soon.

Eric fills Roman in that Sloan got wasted. Marlena calls it not so crazy and unusual because of Sloan’s hectic job. Eric then reveals that he thinks Sloan sometimes gets jealous of Jude. Marlena asks if they’ve had that conversation. Eric says he’s tried to explain it and admits maybe he is a bit obsessed as he hates hearing Jude cry or being apart from him. Eric thanks Marlena and Roman for being amazing parents to him. Marlena says he always made it so easy and that he has thanked them. Roman adds that it’s still always nice to hear.

Harris calls Stefan but it goes to voicemail. Harris warns Stefan to quit blowing him off and to find him or call him or else, he won’t like what he does.

Ava tells John and Steve that no one but them can ever find out they were behind the prison escape. Steve brings up the issue of Ava’s mob pals helping out. Ava assures that she will take care of that. Steve questions what it’s really going to cost her. Ava says whatever the price is will be worth it because they saved their son. Steve says they are done here for now but he’s going back to the hospital. Ava decides she’ll head out with him. Steve asks if John is coming but John says he has a few things to follow up on here. Steve tells John to take it easy as he and Ava then exit the office. John picks up his phone and calls Konstantin, saying he needs to see him at his office. Konstantin says he’ll be right there and hangs up.

Steve and Ava walk through the town square. Ava asks what’s up with John. Steve claims to not know what she means. Ava says sometimes it seems like John just checks out. Steve says after 30 years, sometimes, John is a mystery even to him. Ava tells Steve that she just about stopped breathing when they found Tripp not breathing. Ava thanks Steve for bringing Tripp back and hopes he knows that she’s incredibly grateful. Steve says they have Wendy to thank too for being smart with the sign language. Ava knows Steve hates the way she handled things, but she wants him to know that saving Tripp was the only thing on her mind and she didn’t want to drag Steve in to this mess. Steve argues that if she just would’ve trusted him, maybe he and John could’ve saved Tripp without letting Clyde go. Ava says maybe not, so they agree to disagree. Steve asks if Ava is coming to the hospital. Ava says maybe later but she has a few things to check on at the house first.

Julie tells Maggie that it’s been awhile since they have caught up, so she asks how she’s doing. Maggie admits she misses Victor and talks about sometimes waking up and forgetting for a few seconds that he’s not with her. Maggie adds that she now has a sense of guilt which Julie questions. Maggie tells her that when she’s with Konstantin, she feels drawn to him and she hates herself for it. Julie says Maggie has been a happily married woman twice and she has a lot of good years ahead of her, so she asks why she should be alone. Julie declares that if Maggie chooses to be with somebody, there’s no shame in that and she knows Victor would give his blessing because he’d want her to be happy and loved.

Ava goes home to find Harris is out of the bed but left a rose on the table.

Marlena says she has to get back to the hospital. Roman says it’s always good to see her. Marlena hugs Eric and tells him to check in which he agrees to do. Marlena then hugs Roman and exits. Eric tells Roman that he’s going to grab some food from the kitchen for Sloan. Roman jokes about Sloan not liking the clam chowder. Eric says he will take him up on babysitting which Roman says he and Kate will be glad to do.

Steve comes back by the Pub and sees Marlena outside. Marlena questions John not being with him. Steve responds that they need to have a talk about him in private.

Update written by Joseph

Steve sits in his room with his tablet, reading the Spectator headlines which include Tripp and Wendy escaping death and Clyde’s escape from prison. Steve then tosses his tablet aside in frustration. Kayla comes in and says she was hoping he went back to sleep since he was tossing and turning all night. Steve says he’s okay and just wants to go see Tripp. Kayla says she does too but she talked to Sarah, who said Tripp and Wendy are both resting comfortably. Kayla tells Steve that is 100% thanks to him. Steve says it’s thanks to Kayla too.

Wendy lays in her hospital bed and thinks back to her and Tripp exchanging vows while they were locked up. Tripp then enters her room and hugs her. Wendy questions him being allowed out of bed. Tripp clarifies that he’s not but he knows what time the shift changes. Wendy thinks Ava feels guilty about the whole situation even though it’s not really her fault. Tripp says he feels guilty too and brings up if Wendy went back to China when her parents wanted her to. Tripp knows Ava didn’t want any of this to happen and is horrified that it did, but with her, history has a way of repeating itself. Tripp doesn’t think he could live with himself if something like this happened again.

Chanel and Johnny join Abe at the hospital. Chanel says she got his text and knew they shouldn’t have gone home last night. Chanel questions Paulina flatlining but now doing better. Abe says she’ll find out for herself soon. Johnny doesn’t get it as he thought the only possible solution for Paulina was a heart transplant. Abe says that’s what they all thought. Chanel asks what happened last night then. Abe remarks that he doesn’t know how to explain it and if he didn’t know better, he might think that he dreamed the whole thing.

Eli and Lani go to Paulina’s hospital room but find the bed empty, causing Lani to worry. Eli tells her not to jump to conclusions as he’s sure Abe would’ve let them know if something changed. Abe then enters with Chanel and Johnny. Abe explains that they took Paulina out for some tests to see if she’s as good as she feels. Sarah then wheels Paulina back in. Paulina excitedly says hello to all of her favorite people. Chanel comments that she looks so much better. Paulina admits she feels so much better too. Abe asks Sarah what the verdict is. Sarah responds that there was no blockages and her heart tissue appears healthy, defying all medical explanation. Chanel asks if they have no idea what happened to bring Paulina back and make her heart strong again. Sarah calls it nothing short of a miracle.

Wendy tells Tripp that it’s not his job to keep her safe and jokes that she doesn’t need Ava’s help to get in to trouble but she’s good at getting out of it too. Tripp credits Wendy for being the reason that Steve found them before they ran out of air. Wendy credits Tripp for keeping them sane while they were locked up. Wendy says she clearly remembers everything before they were running out of air, but the last part is kind of blurry like maybe she imagined the whole thing. Tripp says when you run out of oxygen, the brain generates it’s own sensory inputs. Wendy asks if he’s saying maybe she did imagine some of it.

Kayla doesn’t understand how she can be responsible for saving Wendy and Tripp. Steve points out that he never would’ve learned CPR if she hadn’t taught him and made him take a refresher course a few months ago. Kayla feels he’s giving her too much credit. Steve adds that he never would’ve picked up on Wendy’s ASL clues in Tripp’s hostage video if he hadn’t learned sign language with Kayla all those years ago and jokes that the sign for beer was one he remembered. Steve adds that after he caught the sign language, John zoomed in on the wall and it clicked they were in the brewery tank passed the airport. Kayla guesses Steve was lucky to have remembered sign language. Steve wishes he picked up on it sooner so they didn’t come so close to losing Wendy and Tripp. Kayla encourages that Wendy and Tripp are now safe and okay. Kayla adds that Steve is obviously worried about something else. Steve brings up Clyde breaking out of prison. Kayla says there was nothing he could do so she asks what else. Steve says it’s just the whole nightmare of Ava getting involved with Clyde in the first place and nearly getting Tripp killed. Steve adds that Konstantin is still using Maggie, Abe still has amnesia, and Paulina’s in the hospital dying of heart failure. Kayla then reveals to him that Paulina is not dying of heart failure which Steve questions. Kayla calls it crazy but she just talked to Sarah, who said that against all odds, Paulina’s heart is functioning normal and she’s just back to normal. Steve asks how that’s possible. Kayla chalks it up to prayer and love because Paulina certainly has a lot of both. Steve calls that fantastic news and says Abe must be so relieved. Kayla says that things were rough last night, but this morning, they have so much to be thankful and grateful for. Steve agrees as he hugs her.

Chanel calls it a miracle while Lani calls it a medical mystery. Paulina doesn’t want to jinx it. Chanel declares that they have her back and are never letting her go again. Paulina states there is another very important miracle to celebrate. Paulina brings up Lani being free and Chanel being a newlywed. Lani points out that Chanel and Johnny can finally go on their honeymoon. Johnny says they haven’t really thought about that with everything going on. Chanel adds that she wouldn’t feel comfortable going too far right now which Johnny understands. Chanel asks Paulina about the other miracle. Paulina then announces that Abe finally has his memory back. Lani asks if that’s true. Abe confirms that he remembers everything and he remembers the day that he found out Lani was his daughter. Abe says even though he eventually found out Lani wasn’t his biologically, he still felt so much for her and always will. Abe tells Lani that he’s so proud to be her father. Lani tells Abe that she loves him and she has no words as she hugs him. Abe declares that he remembers falling in love with Paulina for the first time and he’s so happy that he got to fall in love with her all over again. Johnny calls this a beautiful moment. Johnny says as much as he loves most of his family, he swears the Carvers must have an angel. Abe agrees that they do.

Tripp tells Wendy that his memory is pretty hazy from last night too and asks what she thinks happened. They get interrupted by Sarah coming in. Sarah says she figured she’d find Tripp there. Tripp asks if she’s kicking him out. Sarah jokes that she’s already broken rules so she’ll go ahead and break another. Sarah checks on Wendy’s breathing.

Lani thought they would have so much to celebrate when she got released from prison but then Eli’s family’s house burned down and Paulina was so sick, so she was afraid this would not be a happy visit. Eli says they are on a major roll with good news. Eli then gets a call and says he has to take it. Lani tells Paulina and Abe that they will be back with a surprise or two. Paulina tells them to hurry back as she loves surprises. After Eli and Lani exit, Paulina tells Abe that she thinks she knows exactly what those two surprises are.

Johnny and Chanel run in to Steve and Kayla in the town square. Kayla congratulates Johnny and Chanel on their marriage while Steve mentions hearing the good news about Paulina. Kayla notes that they are on their way to see Paulina and are bringing flowers for her as well as Wendy and Tripp. Johnny asks what Wendy and Tripp are celebrating. Kayla questions them not hearing. Steve reveals that they were held hostage. Kayla says it was a close call but they were rescued by Steve and John, so now they are doing okay. Chanel guesses that makes four miracles now which Steve questions. Chanel and Johnny then announce that Abe got his memory back which amazes Steve and Kayla. Kayla says that must be such a relief for their entire family. Chanel credits all the hours that Kayla worked with Abe. Kayla says they all did an amazing job being supportive and encouraging. Kayla calls it very unusual for someone to get their memory back so suddenly and completely. Chanel remarks that it seems like everything about yesterday was unusual.

Sarah guesses that Tripp looked at he and Wendy’s charts already, joking that they say doctors are the worst patients. Steve and Kayla arrive. Kayla questions Tripp being out of bed. Wendy assures they are feeling much better. Kayla asks Sarah how they are doing. Sarah confirms their levels are good, they are stable and look a lot better than when they came in. Kayla drops off flowers for Wendy. Sarah tells Kayla that she’d love to chat with her about something so they step out of the room to talk. Steve asks Tripp if Ava was there to spin her side of the story. Tripp knows Steve is angry but says Clyde forced Ava in to this and she had no choice. Steve argues that people died because of the tainted drugs that Ava was running through the Bistro and that Tripp and Wendy could have died. Tripp insists that Ava was trying to protect them and begged them to leave Salem but he couldn’t leave her to deal with this all on her own. Steve questions Tripp knowing that Ava was involved in the drug operation. Steve demands an answer as to how long Tripp has known and why he didn’t tell him.

Paulina tells Abe that she guesses they aren’t going to tell the kids about Lexie. Abe says they wouldn’t believe that his first wife appeared to them from the afterlife and miraculously healed both of them. Paulina is quite sure that they both did not imagine the same thing but she wonders if Abe getting back some memories of her might cause him to wonder why he was with her which Abe questions. Paulina worries about Abe remembering all the lies she told and the problems she caused. Abe tells Paulina that she’s a complicated and amazing woman. Abe says most people have never had what he’s had once, let alone twice. Abe can’t wait to spend the rest of these years making new memories with her as they kiss.

Eli finishes his call and informs Lani that the FBI approved his status change to part time and that they gave him everything he asked for and more. Lani says that’s because he’s the best and she’s so proud of him. Eli tells her that means more money and he gets to spend more time with her and their twins. Lani adds that means less time in harm’s way. Eli says that’s if he takes the job. Lani points out that it’s everything he ever wanted. Eli mentions that the job is in DC, but now that they are back home, he doesn’t know how he feels about leaving. Lani admits that she doesn’t know either.

Tripp tells Steve that he didn’t tell him because he knew he would go ballistic but he knows it’s not an excuse and he’s sorry. Steve says he’s not mad at him, he’s angry at Ava. Steve understands Tripp is defending her because he’s a good son. Steve decides he’s just grateful they are both okay. Steve admits that he was so scared when he couldn’t get him to breathe. Steve apologizes for breaking Tripp’s rib. Tripp calls it a minor crack. Kayla returns to the room and encourages that Steve did everything right, noting that it’s very common to crack a rib with the force of CPR. Tripp tells Steve that he saved his life and he’s so grateful as they hug.

Paulina still feels like she’s in a dream as she sits here with her husband, who now has his memories back. Paulina talks about dreaming of this for so many months. Paulina thanks God and thanks Lexie as she declares they will be making many more beautiful and perfect memories together.

Johnny and Chanel join Steve, Kayla, and Tripp in Wendy’s hospital room with treats from the bakery. Kayla mentions they were just heading to Paulina’s room. Steve says they will let them visit. Tripp thanks them for everything as Steve and Kayla exit. Wendy asks Chanel how Paulina is doing. Chanel admits the past few weeks had been really rough but now she is doing much better. Wendy then notices Chanel’s wedding ring. Chanel reveals that she and Johnny got married in Paulina’s hospital room on Valentine’s Day. Tripp and Wendy congratulate them. Tripp says he always knew they would wind up together. Johnny declares that it seems as though they are all exactly where they belong.

Steve and Kayla visit with Paulina and Abe. Paulina thanks Kayla and Steve for all they have done for them. Kayla is not sure that it was the medical attention that cured Paulina or got Abe’s memory back. Steve says they have thanked them enough. Abe informs them that they will be losing him a houseguest as he is moving back in with Paulina as they kiss. Kayla says they are thrilled for both of them. Steve invites them to dinner as soon as Paulina is out of the hospital. Kayla says it will be a big celebration. Steve tells Abe that he’s so happy for him as they hug.

Wendy comments to Tripp on another wedding. Tripp asks what she means by another. Wendy reminds him that they were talking about what they remembered from last night before Kayla and Sarah came in. Wendy gets interrupted by a call from her mom. Wendy answers until her mom hangs up on her, saying she was mad that she heard about her near death experience from the news. Tripp guesses she was just worried about her, especially after what happened to Li as her parents would be devastated if something happened. Wendy realizes she’s been scared before but never as much as she was last night but she never felt as safe as she did in Tripp’s arms.

Johnny and Chanel give Sarah a box of croissants and donuts for the staff. Sarah brings up what they said earlier about not wanting to go far away on a honeymoon. Sarah informs them that they could always go to the Horton cabin which is private and cozy. Johnny says that sounds pretty good to him. Chanel says as soon as they get Paulina home and settled, they will do it.

Lani sits with Paulina and talks about how they brought the twins to visit which Paulina says she loved and was hoping would be her surprise. Eli returns and says the twins are now at the park with Julie. Paulina hoped they could’ve stayed a little longer so Eli says he will bring them back later. Paulina talks about how she can’t wait to babysit and make up for long time. Paulina then questions the looks on Eli and Lani’s faces. Lani says Paulina would get to babysit all the time if they were going to stay in Salem which Paulina questions. Lani guesses Abe didn’t tell her about Eli’s potential job offer in DC which she confirms. Abe notes that Lani said it was only a potential job offer. Paulina asks them to tell her now. Lani calls it a great opportunity for Eli but they love being in Salem. Paulina guesses they are going anyways. Lani says only if Paulina will be truly happy for them, otherwise they will stay here. Lani tells Paulina to just say the word. Paulina says not to put this on her. Paulina says she doesn’t want them to go but understands they have to do what’s right for their family. Paulina adds that when she can finally travel, she’ll be there as often as she can. Lani hugs Paulina as Chanel and Johnny return to the room. Chanel asks what’s going on. Paulina says they’re starving and asks where they have been. Chanel responds that they just took a little detour.

Tripp jokes with Wendy about waiting for someone else to interrupt them but says they might actually be safe now as he kisses her. Tripp asks what they were talking about. Wendy reminds him that it was what they thought they remembered from last night. Tripp tells her to tell him what she remembers. Wendy then asks if Tripp really proposed to her last night.

Paulina tells Chanel about Jules and Carver being there until Eli took them to the park. Johnny says they willl see them later. Sarah enters the room so Paulina asks when she can go home. Sarah says her blood work is still looking great and she might be released by tomorrow. Sarah says she still has follow ups but the end is definitely in sight.

Steve calls John and leaves a voicemail that they need to talk about the fallout from Clyde’s escape. Kayla comes over and says she’s ready to go but notes Steve is distracted and asks what’s going on. Steve responds that Clyde’s escape from prison is still eating at him since Tripp and Wendy suffered because of him, he killed their niece, and he kidnapped Kayla and Joey. They worry about what he could be planning next. Kayla insists that Clyde will be found and brought back to prison. Steve declares that Clyde better hope the police get him before he does.

Update written by Joseph

Steve, John, and Ava go to the brewery. Ava prays while John and Steve get the tank open. Ava asks if they are alive. John tells Ava to just stay back as he and Steve head inside.

Tate questions Holly saying she can’t tell the truth, arguing that they are talking about his life and right now, he has no life as he’s stuck in a halfway house for no reason. Tate shouts that he wants his life back. Holly then agrees to tell that the drugs weren’t his but says she can’t say that they belonged to her. Tate complains that they will still think the drugs were his then and asks why she can’t tell the truth. Holly reveals that she overheard Nicole talking to EJ when she thought she was sleeping and she was talking about how disappointed she would be if it was her drugs. Holly talks about what it did to Nicole to lose her baby and then her almost dying. Holly declares that she can’t do that to Nicole and she would never trust her again. Tate questions if Holly is going to sacrifice him and his future so she can keep up appearances. Holly says it’s not like that. Tate asks what it’s like then. Tate pleads with Holly to help him but then EJ enters the room. EJ is shocked as Holly tries to tell him it’s not what it looks like. EJ questions how the hell Tate got in there and says he’s calling the police.

Brady runs in to Sarah in the town square. Sarah mentions heading to work while Brady is going to the gym. Brady stops and asks if she has a minute as he has a medical question for her about comas.

Steve and John try to revive Tripp and Wendy while Ava calls 911. Ava prays while Steve and John are unable to revive them. Rafe and Harris then arrive. Ava cries as Steve and John continue working on Tripp and Wendy. John says they need serious medical help now. Rafe calls for backup.

Brady asks Sarah if a coma can affect Holly’s memory. Sarah responds that she can’t discuss that with him because of doctor-patient confidentiality. Brady asks if a person’s memory in general can be affected by a coma. Sarah says she’s not a neurologist, but she knows there is a potential for that as a coma can cause a wide range of impairments which can include memory loss. Brady questions if it’s short term or long term. Sarah says it depends on the severity of brain damage and how long they were in a coma. Brady asks if the memories could come back because his son’s future depends on Holly remembering what happened the night she overdosed. Sarah says she’s sorry as she can’t imagine how hard that must be. Sarah repeats that it’s not her specialty but from what she knows, memories can come back quickly, gradually, or sometimes not at all. Brady confirms he read that online but he wanted a professional’s opinion, so he thanks her. Sarah hopes everything works out for Tate as she then walks away. Brady thinks back to Tate insisting to him that the drugs were Holly’s and trying to figure out how to prove it.

Holly asks EJ not to call the police because Tate didn’t do anything wrong. EJ argues that he broke into his home. Holly asks for a chance to explain why he’s there so EJ allows it. Tate explains that he has just been so worried about Holly. EJ blames Tate for Holly nearly dying. Tate says that’s not true and that he has it all wrong about that night. Tate swears the drugs were not his. Nicole then comes in and questions what Tate is doing there. EJ says he was apparently breaking and entering through Holly’s window. Tate says he just missed Holly so much. EJ decides he’s calling the police and nothing can stop him this time. Holly asks Nicole to stop him but Nicole says she can’t do that. Nicole tells Tate that she’s going to call his father. Nicole calls Brady and says she needs him to get to the DiMera Mansion right away as Tate broke in to see Holly which shocks Brady. Nicole adds that EJ is calling the police right now so Brady says he’s on his way and hangs up. Nicole then asks Tate and Holly what’s really going on.

Steve and John continue working on Tripp and Wendy while Ava prays for Tripp to come back to them. Rafe checks Wendy and finds that she has a pulse. Steve tells Tripp that Wendy’s coming back, so he has to fight to come back to them. Rafe tells Wendy they are here for her and asks her to squeeze his hand if she can hear him which she does. Rafe exclaims that Wendy’s back as John encourages her. Wendy regains consciousness and asks where Tripp is. Rafe tells her that Steve is helping him. Wendy asks if he’s okay. John says the only way to help Tripp is for her to get stronger. John urges Wendy to focus on him and breathe. Steve checks Tripp and finds his pulse. Ava asks if he can hear her. Tripp slowly regains consciousness and asks where Wendy is, referring to her as his wife. Ava encourages Tripp that Wendy is there and okay which relieves him. Ava points out that Tripp called Wendy his wife. Steve guesses he just hopes that someday she will be, but right now that they are just relieved that they are okay. Rafe gets a call from Jada. Rafe informs Jada that they found Tripp and Wendy and it looks like they will be okay. Rafe tells Jada to stay on top of it and call him with any updates. Rafe hangs up and announces that Clyde Weston escaped from prison. John asks if Jada had any intel on that. Rafe responds that it just happened so he’s sure they are looking at security footage as they speak. Harris wonders if Clyde had help from Goldman. Rafe is sure of it and asks who else would help…

Brady goes to the DiMera Mansion. EJ questions Nicole calling him. Nicole argues that Brady had a right to know what’s going on with his son. Brady checks on Tate, who insists that he just wanted to see Holly and make sure she was okay. EJ argues that Tate just wanted to make sure that Holly would lie for him. EJ adds that he heard Holly tell Tate not to make her do this when he opened the door. Tate argues that he just wanted Holly to tell the truth because he just wants his life back. The doorbell rings so EJ tells him that he can tell his story to the police. Tate pleads with Holly to tell them what happened or else they will take him back to jail. EJ returns with two cops and orders them to arrest Tate for breaking and entering. Brady asks if they can talk about this. EJ argues that there is nothing to talk about. EJ calls Tate a plague on his family and says they’ve all had enough. EJ goes over how Tate left his halfway house without permission and broke in to harass Holly. Brady argues that Tate was falsely accused and is a good, honest kid who wouldn’t have risked everything to break in if he wasn’t telling the truth. Brady declares that all Tate wants is for Holly to tell the truth about how and why she overdosed on New Year’s Eve. EJ complains that they already know how, accusing Tate of pushing drugs on Holly and that he only broke in to try and save his own ass. Holly yells at him to stop and says that’s not true. Holly then faints in to Nicole’s arms.

John, Steve, Harris, Ava, and Rafe go to the hospital with Tripp and Wendy. Rafe calls Jada and informs her that Tripp and Wendy are both awake and they should be able to interview them tonight. Rafe tells Jada to stay on the horn as they will need to interview guards and support staff as soon as possible. Rafe says he’ll see her at the station and hangs up. Harris calls it a hell of a stunt for Clyde to break out of prison. Ava asks Steve and John why they haven’t heard anything yet. Steve encourages that Tripp and Wendy are in good hands, so they need to trust the doctors to do their job. John points out trust and questions Ava, saying they had a plan here. Ava argues that Tripp and Wendy might have died if she hadn’t thought like Clyde. Sarah comes out and informs them that they can see Tripp and Wendy now. Ava asks Sarah if Tripp is going to be okay. Sarah confirms he is resting comfortably but asks her to keep the visit short since they need rest. Ava thanks Sarah as her and Steve go to see Tripp. John asks Sarah if Wendy is up for a visit as well. Sarah thinks she is and sends John to her room. Sarah then sees Harris and asks how he’s feeling. Harris says he’s feeling stronger every day. Sarah says she’s glad to hear that but she would still like to check him out. Sarah sends Harris to Wendy’s room and tells him to then meet her in the exam room.

Ava and Steve enter Tripp’s hospital room to check on him. Tripp says he’s good and just glad to be in an actual bed. Ava doesn’t think she’s ever been that scared in her life but points out that Steve saved Tripp’s life. Steve calls it a group effort and says that what’s important is they found him in time.

Rafe and John enter Wendy’s hospital room to check on her. Wendy admits she’s not great physically but she’s beyond relieved and grateful to be able to breathe. Wendy says they really saved her and Tripp’s lives and thanks them. Rafe asks if he should contact her parents. Wendy says she tried to call her mom but it went to voicemail, so she just let her know she was okay. Wendy asks if Tripp is okay too. John confirms his parents are in with him now. Harris then enters the room. Rafe asks if Wendy feels up to talking about what happened. Wendy responds that what happened was that Officer Goldman found her and Tripp during the geocaching event on Valentine’s Day and told them that Tripp was in danger, so they had to follow her immediately to a safehouse which she said was a direct order from Rafe. Rafe says they just learned she was a bad cop and wishes they had known sooner. Wendy says she was so sure that she was one of the good guys. Rafe says they are just learning of all the criminal activities that she’s been up to. John credits Wendy for the sign language clue. Rafe asks what he’s missing. Wendy brings up the video and guesses Rafe didn’t notice her behind Tripp, signing the word “beer”. John explains that Wendy’s good thinking is what led them to the brewery. Rafe calls that really impressive but remarks that maybe they would’ve found her sooner if Ava just shared the video with them in the first place.

Nicole checks on Holly while EJ rushes to pull Tate back. EJ picks Holly up and orders the cops to get Tate out of there. EJ carries Holly out and upstairs while Nicole follows. Tate asks Brady to do something as the cops arrest Tate.

Wendy pleads with Rafe not to be upset with Ava since Goldman told them that no cops could know about the video or they’d be dead. Rafe argues that Ava knew she could trust him but Harris points out that it was a happy ending since Tripp and Wendy are okay and safe. Rafe knows Harris is close with Ava but warns about if he finds out Ava had anything to do with Clyde’s escape. Harris questions where that’s coming from. Rafe asks if Harris doesn’t think it’s a little convenient that Tripp and Wendy are found at the same time as Clyde’s escape. Harris points out there’s no evidence linking Ava to Clyde’s escape. Rafe responds that they both know what Ava is capable of.

Tripp thanks Steve and Ava for not giving up on them. Tripp admits that towards the end, he and Wendy were sure that they were going to die in the tank. Steve informs him that Wendy’s sign language saved them. Tripp says they didn’t have time to plan anything but Wendy thankfully acted on her own. Ava calls Wendy a brave woman. Steve is thankful that Goldman didn’t notice what Wendy was doing. Steve admits they almost didn’t catch it at first. Ava credits Steve and John for being relentless on the video and not giving up. Ava tells Tripp that she’s counting on him coming home real soon, so she tells him to just relax. Ava offers to stay, so Tripp tells her and Steve both to stay as long as they want.

Sarah checks on Harris and tells him that he’s very lucky as his stitches were not meant to be put through the ringer. Harris points out that he’s still standing. Sarah gives him an antibiotic to take and pain medicine to take if necessary. Sarah admires his dedication to his job. Harris says the same to her. Sarah hopes that Harris gets to the bottom of his own case, pointing out that Xander has been held in jail without bail ever since Harris was shot. Harris says he’s sorry about that and he’s sure the officers were just following the evidence. Sarah comments on it pointing directly at Xander. Sarah says she knows Xander is innocent and now that Harris is up and around, she thought maybe he would remember who did shoot him. Harris responds that so far, he doesn’t. Sarah hopes he remembers soon because Victoria really misses her dad and Xander is missing a lot of firsts. Harris repeats that he’s sorry. Sarah thanks him and says she does understand, but points out that he’s a really experienced detective so she has every faith that he’ll continue investigating who did shoot him so that she and Victoria can bring Xander home where he belongs.

Steve and John talk at the hospital about Tripp and Wendy seeming in good spirits. Steve guesses when they are feeling stronger, they can get more information from them. John is not sure that time is on their side. Steve asks what he’s talking about since no one knows they were involved in Clyde’s escape. John informs him that Rafe is suspicious of Ava based on past experience with her and he got the vibe that Rafe is about to start digging. Steve worries that Rafe’s digging could lead straight back to them. John worries that they made a serious mistake in letting the devil loose, so God only knows what’s going to happen next.

Rafe joins Harris in a room at the hospital. Harris fills him in on getting checked out. Rafe says he’s heading to put a task force together as this investigation is going to be massive. Harris responds that he’ll be right behind him but Rafe says no. Harris questions what he means. Rafe orders Harris to go home and get some rest because he needs him healed up and he can’t take the chance of losing him.

Sarah goes to Tripp’s hospital room to check on him. Tripp says he would feel better if he could see Wendy and asks if he could be taken to see her. Sarah then brings Wendy in to see Tripp. Tripp says he’s so excited to see her. Wendy says they couldn’t keep her away from him for long. They talk about making it through and say they love each other as they kiss.

Nicole and EJ get Holly back in her bed. Holly assures her that she’s fine. Nicole offers to call Sarah but Holly promises she doesn’t need to do that. EJ says they will be right down the hall. Holly asks him not to send Tate to jail, promising that he didn’t do anything wrong. Nicole says they can talk about it in the morning as she needs to rest. Holly argues that she doesn’t understand but EJ insists that Nicole knows what’s best for her. EJ and Nicole then exit the room. Holly thinks back to New Year’s Eve and Tate trying to talk her out of using the drugs and then to Tate asking her to tell the truth earlier.

Tate asks Brady to check on Holly. Brady is sure that EJ and Nicole are taking care of her while right now, his focus is on him. Tate asks what’s going to happen to him, promising he won’t leave the halfway house again. Brady says his hands are tied and he can’t help him after he broke in to the district attorney’s house. Tate asks him to talk to Nicole but Brady says she won’t turn on her husband right now. Brady tells Tate that he’s sorry. The cops say it’s time. Brady says he’ll talk to Justin about getting him out of this. Tate apologizes, admitting that he really screwed up this time. The cops then escort Tate out of the mansion.

Harris and Ava embrace at the hospital. Ava thanks him for everything he did for her son. Harris states that Tripp is going to be okay. Ava says Harris is too. Harris knows that Ava was there for him a lot when he was unconscious as Rafe told him. Harris is sure it helped his recovery to sense that she was around him. Ava isn’t sure how much it helped but she was definitely around him. Ava asks how he’s feeling. Harris says he’s glad he’s not staying here tonight as he’s looking forward to sleeping in his own bed. Ava asks what about her bed since Harris is still recovering from a gunshot wound and she knows he’s not recovered fully yet so he will need someone to help take care of him and she’d like to be that someone if he’d let her.

Update written by Joseph

Holly lays in bed in her room and gets another direct message from Theresa’s account. She opens the message and sees that it’s Tate asking her to call him through the app as soon as she sees the message.

Tate lays in bed with Theresa’s phone and gets excited when he sees that Holly has seen his message, so he hopes that she calls him.

Tripp and Wendy remain locked up and trying to stay conscious. Wendy weakly tells Tripp that she loved exchanging vows but points out that they didn’t finish.

Ava is left tied up at the airfield and screams in frustration that Clyde is a lying bastard. Ava asks herself what she was thinking as she worries about losing Tripp. John and Steve then return. Steve tells Ava that he told her.

At the police station, Rafe tells Jada that Rebecca Goldman was the last person he ever expected to be on the dark side. Jada says being shocked was an understatement. Harris arrives at the station. Rafe and Jada question what he’s doing there. Harris reveals that he checked himself out of the hospital. Rafe tells Harris that he doesn’t need to do this in his condition and assures that they have this handled. Harris argues that they can always use an extra pair of eyes and there’s no way he’s going to lie in his hospital bed doing nothing.

At the hospital, Abe holds Paulina’s hand and prays as she imagines someone appearing in the room. Abe turns to look and the woman greets Abe. He questions her knowing him and asks if he’s hallucinating. Paulina then identifies that it’s Abe’s late wife, Lexie, and says she recognizes her from pictures. Paulina introduces herself and asks Lexie if it’s time. Abe questions what’s going on. Paulina asks if Abe sees Lexie, his first wife. Abe argues that Lexie died years ago

Rafe tells Harris that maybe they can use him so Harris asks where to start. Jada says she still can’t wrap her head around Rebecca Goldman working for Clyde. Rafe adds that they have an APB out for Rebecca and her car while they are also searching her records, though he’s sure she used a burner phone and she’s no amateur considering how she played them. Harris declares that they win this by skating to where the puck is going to be and not where it is now.

Ava questions how John and Steve got back. John responds that it took them three minutes to leave her goons laying on the side of the road as he unties her. Ava argues that she had no choice but John says she did. Ava complains that Clyde lied to her. John guesses that now Clyde is long gone. Steve asks Ava what Clyde told her about Tripp. Ava responds that he said Tripp is as good as dead. Steve doesn’t accept anything Clyde says and refuses to believe it until they leave no stone unturned. Ava blames herself as Steve yells at her to shut up. Steve declares that they have to find Tripp before it’s too late as they walk off.

Tripp and Wendy struggle to stay awake as Tripp talks about wanting to buy them a house one day and have kids as they say I love you to each other.

Holly remains in her room as she hears a noise outside her window. Holly then opens her window and is shocked to find Tate climbing up.

Abe recalls reading that Lexie was his first wife’s name but repeats that she died. Paulina confirms that Lexie died from brain cancer years ago. Paulina brings up that Abe and Lexie had a son together, Theo. Abe then questions if Lexie is there to take Paulina to the other side. Paulina tearfully declares that it’s her time but Abe refuses to let her go.

Jada can’t believe that she was a friend to Rebecca. Rafe notes that they took her word for it when she shot the drug dealer. Harris goes over how Rebecca was doing Clyde’s dirty work all that time right under their noses. Jada remembers Rebecca saying she had a sore arm on the night of the shooting at Lucas and she said she hurt it at the gym but Kate shot at the shooter so it all makes sense now. Harris admits she was good and asks if they’ve questioned Officer Phillips. Rafe confirms Phillips is not thrilled to be on desk duty but understands they have to investigate him too. Rafe adds that Phillips was furious and seemed shocked. Jada wonders what else they will uncover.

Tate climbs in to Holly’s room and hugs her, saying she’s alive and he can’t believe he’s looking at her. Holly tells him that he shouldn’t be there. Tate assures that no one saw him and asks what happened. Holly responds that she was in a coma but she’s fine now. Tate talks about thinking she was going to die and not knowing what to do. Holly holds his hand and says he doesn’t have to go anywhere. Tate asks if she’s really okay. Holly confirms that she is, so Tate then grabs her and kisses her. Holly can’t believe he climbed up to her window. Tate says he’s done crazier. Holly asks if he’s going to tell her what he’s doing there. Tate says she wasn’t answering his messages so he was running out of options. Holly says she just didn’t know what to say to him but she guesses she knows what she wants to say now. Holly then tells Tate that she’s really sorry.

Ava goes back to her apartment with John and Steve. Steve decides they have to call Rafe and get Tripp’s video to the police. John says no talk about Clyde’s escape. Ava says she doesn’t care what happens to her as long as Tripp is okay. John then calls Rafe and tells him that Ava received a very disturbing video of Tripp and Wendy being held hostage. John says the situation looks dire and asks Rafe if he wants to look at it. Rafe tells John to send it over as they hang up. John hopes Rafe can pick up on something they missed. Steve plays the video again for he, John, and Ava. Steve thinks he sees something in the video.

Tripp and Wendy struggle to stay awake.

The vision of Lexie asks Abe if he remembers when he last saw her, reminding him that it was in Heaven. Abe then has a flashback to that moment. Abe tells Lexie that he remembers now and declares that he remembers it all, including when he and Lexie met as partners in the police department. Abe excitedly asks Paulina if she knows what this means.

Tate tells Holly not to be sorry and insists that it’s fine. Holly argues that it’s not fine and that she’s ashamed because she should’ve known better. Holly acknowledges that Tate even told her not to take the pills but admits that she thought they were just harmless ADHD meds. Holly adds that she should’ve listened to Tate. Tate questions that being why she’s sorry. Holly asks if there’s something else. Tate then asks if she has any idea what happened after she overdosed as he reveals that EJ blamed him and said that he forced her to take the drugs, then had him arrested which shocks Holly.

Abe tells Lexie that they had quite the life together. Abe admits they had their ups and downs but they were very much in love. Abe brings up their son Theo and Lexie being chief of staff at the hospital. Abe jokes that he only seems to fall in love with confident and feisty women. Lexie tells Abe that now he needs to focus on the woman he’s committed the rest of his life to. Abe agrees and declares that Paulina is his life now and his everything. Abe repeats that he remembers their wedding. Abe says they have so much more life to live but Paulina loses consciousness. Abe frantically asks if Paulina is with him as her monitors flatline, causing Abe to panic.

Harris, Jada, and Rafe watch Tripp’s video. Harris calls it proof that Clyde is the mastermind behind everything because he knew if he took Tripp, he could get Ava to do anything he demanded in order to save her son. Harris points out that Clyde’s plan to take him out failed miserably and he thinks they have a criminal conspiracy on their hands with Rebecca Goldman. Rafe remembers that he had Goldman fill out the missing persons report on Tripp and Wendy and she listed herself as the point of contact, so if anyone reached out, it would go straight to her. Rafe instructs Jada to pull Rebecca’s GPS info from when Tripp and Wendy went missing. Harris gets a pain in his side so Rafe asks if he’s sure he’s okay to do this. Harris insists that he is so Rafe instructs him to call the prison to find out if there was any contact between Goldman and Clyde. Harris says he’s on it. Rafe hopes this leads them to something.

Steve tells Ava and John to focus on the gestures that Wendy makes behind Tripp in the video. Steve looks up sign language as he thinks that’s what Wendy was doing. Steve finds out she used sign language for “beer”. John points out the background and they realize there’s an abandoned brewery tank by the airport. Ava points out that they were just at the airport.

Holly questions Tate about EJ having him arrested. Tate explains that he was first sent to jail then an awful place for juvenile criminals and then a halfway house. Holly says she’s sorry as she had no idea. Tate tells her not to be sorry and to just help him by telling the truth. Holly questions what exactly to tell. Tate says that the pills were Holly’s and her overdose was because she took those pills and that he had nothing to do with it. Holly responds that she can’t do that.

Harris tells Jada and Rafe that he couldn’t get through to the prison as apparently there was a toxic chemical spill and their hands are full. Jada tracks Rebecca’s GPS and finds a location listed a dozen times since Tripp and Wendy went missing. Jada notes that it’s too far out of town to be a stop on her trail. Jada finds out it’s the brewery by the airport. Harris decides he’s going with Rafe. Rafe instructs Jada to find out any more stops that Rebecca made as he then exits with Harris.

Steve, John, and Ava go to the brewery. Ava prays while John and Steve get the tank open. Ava asks if they are alive. John tells Ava to just stay back as he and Steve head inside.

Abe tells Lexie that he remembers after he got shot, she appeared to him from Heaven and said it wasn’t his time as he was needed here in this life. Lexie responds that he still is. Abe cries that they need Paulina as so many people count on her, so she can’t leave. Lexie clarifies that she’s not there to take anyone, but to help he and Paulina. Lexie instructs Abe to close his eyes and feel the love inside his heart, then transfer in to Paulina. Abe sits back down next to Paulina.

Tate questions Holly saying she can’t tell the truth, arguing that they are talking about his life and right now, he has no life as he’s stuck in a halfway house for no reason. Tate shouts that he wants his life back. Holly then agrees to tell that the drugs weren’t his but says she can’t say that they belonged to her. Tate complains that they will still think the drugs were his then and asks why she can’t tell the truth. Holly reveals that she overheard Nicole talking to EJ when she thought she was sleeping and she was talking about how disappointed she would be if it was her drugs. Holly talks about what it did to Nicole to lose her baby and then her almost dying. Holly declares that she can’t do that to Nicole. Tate questions if Holly is going to sacrifice him and his future so she can keep up appearances. Holly says it’s not like that. Tate asks what it’s like then. Tate pleads with Holly to help him and then they hear someone trying to open the door.

Steve and John try to revive Tripp and Wendy while Ava calls 911. Ava prays while Steve and John are unable to revive them. Rafe and Harris then arrive. Ava cries as Steve and John continue working on Tripp and Wendy.

Abe cries for Paulina not to leave him as a nurse enters to check on her and sees that Paulina is suddenly breathing again and wakes up. Abe realizes the vision of Lexie has vanished and declares that he believes.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What do you mean, you can’t? You can’t tell the truth? Holly, this is my life we’re talking about. Right now I have no life. I am stuck in some halfway house for no reason, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I want my life back, Holly.

Okay, okay. I’ll tell them the drugs weren’t yours. I just, I can’t tell them they were mine.

No, no, but they’re still gonna think that they were mine. Don’t you get it?

Hey, please. We can make up another story.

Why do we have to make up a different story? Why can’t you just tell the truth?

Because Look, I overheard my mom talking to EJ when she thought I was sleeping, and she was going on and on about how disappointed she’d be if it turned out those drugs were mine.  And I mean, you know, when she lost her baby, she totally fell apart. It was horrible what that did to her. And then, and then with me almost dying? She’s been through so much lately, and if she thought I was responsible for what happened to me? I can’t do that to her, Tate. I just can’t. Because she would never trust me again.

Oh my God. So, you are going to sacrifice me? You are going to totally ruin my life so that you can what, Holly? Keep up appearances? Pretend that you are just this little golden child?

It’s not like that.

Then what is it like, Holly? Please, please, you have to help me. You are the only one that can solve this.

Please. Tate, please don’t make me do this.

What is all What the hell? EJ, it’s not what It’s not what it looks you get in here, Tate? I’m calling the police. No!

Oh, coffee. At this hour, you’re going to work, aren’t you? I am. I have the overnight tonight, and you are going to the gym. I’m going to the gym. I’m going to go lift some weights and, uh, wear myself out. Good. Well, good luck with that, Brady. I’ll see you later. See ya. Uh, uh, sir, can I, can I just Do you have a minute?

Yeah, I don’t have to be at work for another half hour. What’s up? I, uh, actually had a medical question for you. About comas.

Are they breathing? Ava, please stay back! Are they breathing? Please tell me! I already did! Call again! Come on, keep calling me! Yes, hi, hi, I just called a few minutes ago. Yeah, about two people we found out at the old brewery near the airport. Why isn’t anyone here yet? Okay, well, one of them is my son. You need to come now.

Please, well, please hurry. Come quick. Okay, they said they’re on their way. What is happening? Come on. Get back here. Come on. Come on, buddy. Come on. Come on. Oh, dear God. Dear God, please save my boy. Got nothing over here, buddy. Come on, buddy. Come on, Wendy, come on. Come on, come on, Wendy. Come on. There’s something out of here.

Tripp! Wait, we need some serious medical help here now. Tripp!

Yeah, this is Commissioner Hernandez. We need two RAs, backup, and the CSU at the old brewery off Foxhorn Road by the airport. Now!

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

I was just wondering, um, based on your professional experience, can a coma affect Holly Jonas’s memory? Brady, I can’t discuss that with you. It’s doctor patient confidentiality. Right, of course, um. Let me pose it more generally then. Okay. Can a person, can a person’s memory be affected by a comb? Well, um, I’m, I’m not a neurologist.

Right. So, that feels important to say. Um, but what I do know is that, There is a potential for that. Um, a coma can cause a wide range of cognitive and physical impairments, which can include memory loss. Uh, short term. A long term? Well, that depends on the severity of the brain damage that caused the coma and how long a person’s in a coma.

So her, but her memories could come back. Sarah, my, my, my, my son’s future depends upon Holly remembering what happened the night she OD’d. Right. So. Right, no, I, I understand Brady. And I am. I am so sorry because I can’t even imagine how hard that has to be. Um, you know, like I said, neurology is not my specialty.

But what I do know from my limited experience, once a coma patient regains consciousness, um, their memories could come back quickly, gradually, or sometimes not at all. Yeah, I read that online. But I just, I just wanted to get a professional’s opinion, so. Sarah, thank you. Anytime. Brady, I, I really do hope everything works out for Tate.

Thanks.

But they were her drugs, not mine. Dad, you have to believe me. I hate I believe you. Why wouldn’t I? Alright, your mother believes you too. The problem is, how do we prove it? If Holly won’t admit it, do you have any proof at all? Do you have anything? My word. That’s all. It’s my word against hers. EJ, please don’t call the police.

Tate didn’t do anything wrong. He broke into my home. I know, but will you just give us a chance to explain? Please just hang up. Let us tell you why he’s here.

Let’s hear it. Sir, I’m sorry to disrupt your evening. I just wanted to see Holly. I’ve been so worried about her. Yeah, I bet you are worried. Since you’re the one who pushed the drugs on her that caused her to OD. She nearly died because of you. No, that’s not true. You have it all wrong about the night Holly OD’d.

The drugs that she took They weren’t mine. I swear they weren’t mine. What is all the ruckus? Tate, my god, what are you doing here? Breaking and entering into Holly’s bedroom window, apparently. I just wanted to see her. I, I’ve missed her so much. Look, I’ve heard enough. I’m calling the police and you’re not going to stop me this time.

Mom, do something. Please stop it. No, I can’t do that, honey. And Tate, I, I’m gonna call your father.

Nicole, what’s up? Brady, thank God you answered. I need you to get to the DiMera mansion right away. Tate’s here. What? He broke in the house to see Holly. Dammit. And EJ’s calling the police right now. Alright, I’m on my way.

Okay, you too. Tell me what’s really going on.

Oh, it’s a trap, baby. Baby, please come back to us. You’re my life, you’re my heart. Please, please come back to us. Check her.

We got a pulse. Wendy’s got a pulse. Come on, Kato. Come on, Kato. I’m doing good. Did you hear that? Wendy’s coming back. Come on, now. You gotta fight and come back to us. Come on. Come on, Tripp. You fight. Fight. Wendy, I’m here. I’m out here. We’re here for you. If you can hear me, squeeze my hand, alright?

She did it! She did it! Wendy’s back! You’re doing great, kiddo. You’re doing great, kiddo. Come on, hang in there with us. Come on. You’re doing great. You’re doing great. No, no, no, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re doing fine. Just stay right there. That’s it. That’s it. You’re doing good. You’re doing good. You’re okay.

He’s right here. He’s right here. Dad’s helping him. Is he okay? The only way you can help Tripp is for you to get stronger. And the way you’re going to do that, you’re going to focus on Wendy. You’re going to focus on me right now. And we’re going to breathe together. Are you ready? We’re going to inhale slowly.

Here we go. Inhale. Come on. That’s it. Come on. Exhale. That’s it. Exhale. One more time. Inhale. I got a pulse. Nice. What are you doing? I got a pulse. Baby Tripp! Can you hear me? Yeah. Breathe, bro. Breathe, bro. Breathe. There he is. There you go. Do it, buddy. Where’s, where’s, where’s Wendy? Where’s, where’s my wife? Hey,

Wendy’s here, Tripp. She’s okay. Yes. It’s all good. It’s all right. It’s okay. Thank God. Baby, you called her your wife. Well, he just said that because he hoped someday she will be. Right? Right now, we’re just relieved. I found you, and you’re okay.

Yeah, Jay. Yeah, we found them both, and it looks like they’re gonna be okay. Good job, good job. Peter?

Alma. Alright, just stay on top of it and call me if there are any updates. What happened? Clyde Weston escaped from Statesville. Jay,

do you have any intel on that? Well, it just happened, I mean. I’m sure they’re looking at prison surveillance videos as we speak. I think you had help from Goldman? Yeah, who else?

Dad, you called him. He has the right to know what’s going on with his son. Are you okay? Dad, I swear, all I wanted to do was see Holly. I hadn’t seen her since she got back. I wanted to make sure that she was all right. The only thing he wanted to make sure of was that Holly would lie for him and tell everyone that the drugs that nearly killed her were hers.

Holly, I heard what you said when I opened your door before. You said Tate don’t make me do this. All I wanted her to do was tell the truth. I just want my life back. You can tell your story to the police. Holly, please, please just tell them what happened. It’s okay. They’re gonna take me back to jail.

Please, Holly.

There he is, officers. Take Black. Arrest him. I

want that man arrested for breaking and entering. EJ, please, can we please talk about this for a second? There is nothing to talk about, Brady. Your son has been a plague on my family the moment he arrived in Salem, and we’ve all had enough. He left the halfway house he was confined to, without permission obviously, and then proceeded to break into my home and harass my stepdaughter.

EJ, he broke into your house because he was falsely accused and he’s desperate. He’s a good, honest kid. He wouldn’t have risked everything to break in here if he wasn’t telling the truth. All my son wants is for Holly to finally tell the truth about how and why she OD’d on New Year’s Eve. But we already know how and why she OD’d.

Your son pushed drugs on her. That is why she OD’d, and that is why she ended up in a coma for several months. And Tate only broke in here to try and cover his arse! Stop it! That’s not true! Tate Honey? Polly? Polly? Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Honey!

Yep. Both Wendy and Tripp are alert. They’re doing well, getting checked out as we speak. We should be able to interview them sometime tonight. Listen to me, Jada. I need you to stay on the warden. Alright, we’re gonna need to interview guards, prisoners, support staff. Yeah. As soon as possible. Alright, I’ll see you at the station.

Bye. Any update on Clyde? Not yet. Hell of a start, huh? Breaking out of Statesville. Sure was.

Why haven’t we heard anything yet? Listen, Tripp and Wendy are in good hands, Ava. We need to trust the doctors to do their job. Yeah, speaking of trust What the hell, Ava? We had a plan here. Yeah, some plan. Tripp and Wendy might have died if I hadn’t thought like Clyde, so don’t Hi, sorry, I hope I’m not interrupting, but I do have good news.

You can see Tripp and Wendy now.

So, um, how, how is Tripp? He’s gonna be okay, isn’t he? Yeah, he’s doing well. He’s resting comfortably. Obviously, he’s been through quite an ordeal, as you know. So, keep your visit short, please. He needs the rest, as does Wendy. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Dr. Horton. Yeah, he’s in room 441. Great, thanks. Thanks. So, do you think maybe Wendy’s up for a visit also?

Mm hmm. Judging by my conversation earlier, I think she is. She’s in room 445. Nice. Thank you, Doctor. You got it. Detective Michaels. Yes. How are you feeling? Uh, I’m good. You know, I’m getting stronger every day. Good. Yeah, I’m glad to hear that. I would like to get you checked out, though. So, go talk to Wendy, and then meet me in exam room C.

It’s just down the hall.

I’m awake, Mom. You don’t have to tiptoe. How did you know that it would It’s the perfume you wear. It’s kind of a dead giveaway. Well, no sneaking up on our boy, I guess. How you doing, sweetheart? What can I get you? You need some extra pillows? You need some water? Mom, I’m good, Mom. Thank you. Yeah? How you feeling, son?

Besides tired. I’m just glad to be lying down in an actual bed. Oh, baby. I don’t think I’ve ever been that scared in my life. But your father

Your father saved your life.

Hi, it was a group effort. What’s important now is we found you in time. You’re okay. Hey, Lindy. Hey, Mr. Black, Commissioner. How you

doing there, kiddo? I’m not doing great physically. Really? I’m just beyond relieved and grateful. To be able to breathe. You guys, you really saved my life. And Tripp’s. All in a day’s work. Hey, it’s my line. What do you say? I know you both went above and beyond, so really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

No, no, no. Having you alive and well, that’s all the thanks that we need. Yeah. So, uh, should I contact your parents? Well, actually, I tried to call my mom, but I got her voicemail and I didn’t get into anything in the message, but I just wanted her to know that I was okay. And Tripp, he’s okay, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

In fact, his parents are in there with him right now.

So, Wendy, you feel up to talking about what happened? Yeah, yeah, sure. What happened was, Officer Goldman found Trip and I at the geocaching event on Valentine’s Day. And she told us that Trip was in danger. That we had to follow her to a safe house for protection. She said it was a direct order from you, Commissioner.

Yeah, well, um, Yeah, we just learned that she was a bad cop and, uh, Wish we were known sooner. I wish I had too. I was so sure she was one of the good guys. Yeah, right. Well, she obviously is not. In fact, we’re just learning about all the criminal activities that she’s been up to. But, Wendy, kudos on that clue.

Well, it was one of the first words I learned to sign in my college ASL class. Well, you know, I got this feeling that Abe and Steve are going to set you up with a lifetime of beer to memorialize that brilliance. Am I missing something here? Didn’t you know about the video that Officer Goldman had Tripp record for Ava?

Yeah, I did. Okay, well I guess what you didn’t notice was me standing behind Tripp signing the word beer. Wendy’s quick thinking is what led us to the brewery. Wow, Wendy, that was really impressive. Thanks, Commissioner. Yeah, then again, maybe we’d have found you sooner if Ava had just Shared the video with us from the beginning.

Holly, Holly, are you okay? Holly, honey, talk to me. Everyone back off. Especially you. AJ! Oh my gosh. Come on. Get him out of here, please. Wait, wait. Hold on. Wait, stop. Wait, hold on, hold on. Judge, that’s a misunderstanding. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have a right to an attorney.

Commissioner,

please don’t be upset with Ava, okay? Officer Goldman told us that no cops could know about the video. Or else we’d be dead. Yeah, but Ava knew she could trust me. But it was a happy ending, right? We found Wendy and Tripp in time and they’re both okay? Okay. Look, I know that you’re close with Ava. If I find out that she had anything to do with Weston’s escape.

Where’s this coming from? Harris, come on. Really? Well, you don’t think that it’s just a little convenient that at the same time Weston escapes? Triple window, you’re found. Okay, do you have evidence linking Ava to Clyde’s escape? No, not at the moment. But we both know what Ava’s capable of.

Thank you guys for not giving up on us. Either of you. You know, toward the end there, uh, Wendy and I were for sure that we were going to tie in that tank. Well, you know, it was Wendy’s clue with the sign language that saved you. We didn’t have time to plan anything. Officer Goldman had, uh, I spoiled the gunpoint and she told me to read the script as written.

And, you know, Wendy acted on her own. Thank God she did. She’s a very brave young woman. It’s a damn good thing Goldman didn’t notice what she was doing back there. Yeah, she was trying to be, uh, not too obvious to tip off Goldman, but she wanted to Be obvious enough so that you guys could catch it. Almost didn’t at first.

But, your father and John, they were relentless about analyzing that video. Thank God they did not give up. You’re counting on that? Yeah. You know what I’m counting on? I’m counting on you coming home real soon. So, what you need to do right now, sweetheart, is just relax, okay?

Mind if I stay, though? I mean, even if I’m just watching you sleep. Stay as long as you want, Mom. You too, Dad.

You’re a very lucky guy, Detective. Those stitches weren’t meant to be put through the ringer. You’re Yeah, I get that, but hey, I’m still standing. Um, okay, so this is for an antibiotic. And this is for a pain medicine. The antibiotic you have to take. The pain medicine you should only take if necessary. Got it.

I would also prescribe bed rest, but I feel like I’d be wasting my breath. Uh, you would be. Well, I admire your dedication to your job. Uh, I can say the same for you. Seriously though, Harris, I do hope that you’ll get to the bottom of your own case. You know that Xander’s been held in jail without bail ever since you were shot.

Uh, yeah. And I’m, I’m sorry about that. I’m sure my fellow officers would just follow the trail of evidence. The evidence that lined up perfectly to point a finger at Xander? And since I know he’s innocent, I’m Since you’re up and moving around, I thought maybe you would remember who did shoot you. No, so far I, I don’t.

Well, I hope you do remember soon because Victoria really misses her dad. And Xander’s absolutely crazy about her. He’s missing a lot of firsts. Again, I’m really sorry. Thank you. And, and from a medical perspective, I do understand that your memory of that night might elude you, but you were really experienced, Detective Harris, so I have every faith you’ll keep investigating until you figure out who really did shoot you.

So that Victoria and I can bring her dad home, where he belongs.

Well, Wendy seemed in pretty good spirits. Yeah, trip two. Boy, those kids sure are resilient, aren’t they? Yeah. I guess when they’re feeling stronger, we can get more information from them. Yeah, well, I’m not so sure Kyme’s on our side, partner. What are you talking about? No one knows who was involved in Weston’s escape.

Rafe is suspicious of Ava. Based on what? Previous experience with her, cops intuition. I don’t know, I just got the definite vibe that he’s about to start digging. Oh, boy. And his digging could lead straight back to us. Damn it. We’ve made ourselves a serious mistake here, partner. We let the devil loose. God only knows what’s gonna happen next.

Hey.

Well? You all checked out? As ordered. Any updates on the escape? I’m heading to the station now. Gotta put a task force together. This investigation’s gonna be massive. Copy that. I’m gonna hit the pharmacy first, I’ll be right behind you. Mmm, nope, no you’re not. What does that mean? That means that you are not going to the station.

You are going home to get some rest. Doctor’s orders. And mine. Oh, you’re pulling rank on me. Yeah, absolutely. I am. Listen, I need you. But I also need you to be healed up and rested, okay? I can’t take the chance of losing you. You hear me? Alright? Got it.

Hey, Dr. Horton. Hey, Trent. Sorry if I woke you up, but how are you feeling? I’d feel a lot better if I could see Wendy. Think you could take me over to see her? I can do even better.

I’m here for you, Moana. I’m so excited to see you. You didn’t think that they would keep you away from me for long, did you?

May I interest you into a trip to the City of Lights, my sweet? Oh, me oui, mon amour. I’ll go anywhere. With you, Tripp Johnson. Right now, I think I’m just fine being here looking into your eyes. You know, not having a panic attack, not struggling to breathe. I’ll make sure that you never have to suffer through any of that again.

But we made it, Tripp. And struggling through that with you? I couldn’t have asked for a better beer tank, buddy. Me neither. I love you so much. I love you too.

Okay, well, your pulse feels normal. I told you, I’m okay, Mom. Alright, but just to be safe, I’m gonna call Sarah. No, you don’t need to bother Dr. Horton. I’ll be okay, I promise. Alright, well, fine. I won’t call her, but I will leave the monitor on just in case you need anything. And we will be right down the hall.

Actually, there is one thing. What is it? Please don’t send Tate to jail. I promise you, he didn’t do anything wrong. Look, honey, why don’t we talk about this in the morning, okay? Mom, shh. No, honey, shh. Listen, you just, you need to rest. Just close your eyes, okay? You don’t understand, Mom. Please, please. Listen to your mother, Holly.

She knows what’s best for you. Alright?

Please, someone might see us. My mom almost did. By the way, my parents are both addicts, so there is no way I’m taking those and neither should you. Oh, come on. They’re just some ADHD meds I got from someone at school. Everyone does it. Yeah, well, not me. And I didn’t think that you did either. Really? Because I offered you weed like your first day in Salem.

That is not weed, Holly. Those are amphetamines. Very mild ones. Look, they, they just make me feel better, okay? And they give me energy. Wait, so you need to feel better and have more energy tonight when you’re with me? Tate, you don’t understand. They’ll just, they’ll make things more fun for both of us. Yeah, no, not for me.

I’m out. Fine, Mr. Goody Two Shoes. I’m, I’m going to the bathroom. Don’t be sorry. Just Help me, Holly. You have to tell them the truth. Tell them What, exactly? That the pills were yours. That your ODing was because of the pills that you had on you that night, New Year’s Eve. Holly. You have to tell them that I had nothing to do with it.

I can’t.

Thank you. Thought I’m worried about Holly. You need to make sure that she’s okay. I’m sure EJ and Nicole have taken care of her. But what if she slipped back into the coma? Tate, it looked like she just fainted. Okay, right now my focus is on you. What’s gonna happen to me? Jim is, uh, Jim is gonna give me a minute with you before you have to, uh No.

Dad, no. They can take me back to the halfway house. I promise I won’t try to leave again. They can do whatever they want. I’ll sign up for more cleaning duties. Please, Dad, just Hey, there’s only so much I can do. I can’t help you here, because my hands are tied. You broke into the DA’s house. I know, but you can talk to Nicole.

She’ll listen to you. She is not going to turn on her husband right now. I can’t make her do that, all right? It’s going to look bad on everybody. Son, I’m sorry. Stop. No, no, no, please. Just wait one second. Dad, please. Tate, Tate, I will talk to Justin. I’ll get you out of this safe. I’m sorry. We’ll try to I’m sorry.

I know you are. It’s okay. I really screwed up this time.

It’s okay.

Thank you. Thank you for everything that you did for my son. Tripp’s gonna be okay. And so are you. Thank God. I know, um, I know how you were there for me. A lot. When I was unconscious, Rafe told me. I just want to say I’m sure it helped in my recovery. Just sensing that you were around me. Yeah. I’m not sure how much it helped but, I was definitely around.

How you feeling? Um, Glad I’m not staying here tonight. Looking forward to just sleeping in my own bed. Yeah. How about my bed? Harris, you’re still recovering from a gunshot wound and then you run around like some superhero. Try and help save my son. I know you, and I know you’re not recovered fully yet.

I know you need someone to help take care of you. And I’d like to be that someone. Will you let me? Please.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Why does Tate’s mom keep dm’ing me?

Yes! Come on, Holly, call me.

There’s this. A little chapel on a cliff. Oh, it’s so beautiful. Oh, where, where, where is it? In Kauai. That’s, that’s where we should get married for real. Any, any, anywhere you, But I loved our vows here. Me too. But we never We never got We never got Never got to what? The part where you Repeat after me. Right.

Where? For richer, for poorer.

Better, for worse. Sickness and health. Come

on.

Come on. Clyde, you bitch! Lying bastard. God, Goldman, you piece of What was I thinking? What is the matter with me? Idiot!

Oh, God, Tripp. Tripp, baby, I can’t lose you. I can’t lose you.

Oh, hey there, Mitali. What did I tell you?

Can you believe it? Beckett Goldman, the one person you would never expect to be on the dark side. When I heard your APB, to say that I was shocked would be an understatement. Harris. Harris, hey. What are you doing here, man? Yeah. And in your condition, why would they released me? They didn’t. I, uh, checked myself out against medical advice.

Harris, you don’t need to do this, okay? Listen to me. We’ve got this handled. Okay? We don’t need you. Yes, you do need me. You can always use an extra pair of eyes and knowing everything that I know now, there’s no way I’m just gonna lie in that hospital bed and do nothing.

Hello, Abraham. You, you know me? Of course I do. It’s my, it’s my brain telling tricks on you. Am I hallucinating?

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. It’s,

it’s you.

Let’s see.

I’ve seen. Pictures of you.

I’m Paulina. But, you probably know that.

Lexi. Is it I?

Paulina, what’s going on? What’s going on? Don’t you Don’t you see her? It’s Lexi. Your first wife. But Lexi, you You died. You died years Years ago. You know what? Maybe we can use you. All right, where do we start? Becca Goldman, an operative for that scum Clyde Weston. Ugh, I still can’t wrap my head around that.

Okay, what have you uncovered so far? Well, we’re searching her apartment as we speak. We’ve got an APB out on her and our car. Yeah, a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Expired plates. Highway Patrol’s been looped in. We’re also searching her financial records and phone records. Although it would be amateur hour for her to have not used a burner phone.

And clearly, she’s not an amateur considering the way that she played us. Yeah, she’s, uh, she’s a cop. She knows exactly what we’re doing. How we win this is by skating to where the puck’s gonna be, not where it is right now.

John Stega, wait, how did you get back here? You know, it took us all of three minutes to knock your goons out and leave them on the side of the road. Damn it, Ava. Look, I didn’t have a choice. You had a choice. Okay, he lied to me, that bastard, he lied. And now he’s long gone, isn’t he?

Steve. Our son. Our son. What about our son, Ava? What did Clyde tell you? He said that Tripp was as good as dead. Well, I’ll tell you something. I don’t trust anything that psychopath says. I won’t accept that. I won’t believe it until every stone is turned over. What have I done? This is, this is all my fault.

Shut up!

We don’t have time for that, Ava. We’ve got to find Trip before it’s too late. I’m going to hold my, hold my house somewhere.

Where? The countryside.

Where I have, uh, I have two kids. A boy and a girl. Two kids? Yes. And it’ll be, it’ll be perfect. Because, because you’re, you’re perfect. I want, I love you so much. I love you. My sweet husband. And I love you too. What the hell is that? Oh my god! Dean!

Lexi, Lexi,

that was, that was my first wife’s name, I, I read that in my dossier,

you died, right? She died, she died, right? Years ago, Brain cancer. You had us fun together.

Theo! What? Wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you going to take her? Are you here to take her to the other side? Abraham. Darling.

It’s my time. No, no, no, no, no, no. It is not your time. I will not let you take her. I won’t let you, do you hear me? I won’t let you take her.

I can’t believe I, I gave that lowlife a shoulder to lean on. No, I comforted her when she shot that drug dealer. And we took her word for it. But he drew on her first. She executed the guy to keep him from talking. She was cleaning up for Clyde. All that time, right under our nose. Wait, her sore arm.

Remember? The night of the attempted murder of Lucas at the pub? She said she hurt herself at the gym or something. But, but Kate, Kate shot at the assailant. Oh my god, it’s all adding up now. How did we not see this? Because she’s good. Did either one of you, uh, question Officer Phillips? Yeah. Yeah, we did.

And? And while he’s not thrilled to be on death’s duty, he understands that we also need to investigate him. He was curious about being betrayed and seemed shocked about what she did. Only god knows what else we’re gonna uncover. Dane,

oh my god. What are you doing here? You did it. You’re alive. I can’t believe I’m looking at you. And that, that you’re okay, Holly. I’ve, I’ve missed you so much. Dane, you shouldn’t be here. No, no, no. It’s okay. Don’t worry. No one knows. No one saw me. So Tell me, did you go to the other side? What happened? I mean, I was in a coma for a while, but I woke up, as you can see.

Oh my god. After I found you at the party, after you OD’d, Holly, I thought you were gonna die. And I didn’t know what I was gonna do. I was, there was no way I could have dealt with that. I was thinking maybe I’d buy a one way ticket somewhere far away, but You don’t have to go anywhere.

So, I’m really okay? I, um, I feel like Uh,

um Well Well? You little Romeo. I can’t believe you just scaled a trellis to climb into my room. You know the last time a boy did that was in sixth grade? And he spent the rest of the school year with a cast on his right arm. Hmm. Well, trust me, I’ve done crazier. I believe that. Uh, so, were you gonna tell me what you’re doing here?

Well, uh, you wouldn’t answer any of my calls, my DMs, and I, I don’t have a carrier pigeon, so I kind of felt like I was running out of options. Yeah, I, I know, I just, I didn’t really know what to say to you. But I guess I know what I want to say now. And I’m sorry, Tate. I’m really, really sorry.

Listen, you gotta call Rafe. You gotta get this video into the hands of the police right now. I can’t hurt. All right, look. No talk about the Western escape. Okay, look. I don’t care. I don’t care what they do to me. I only care about my son and what happens to him and that he’s okay. Rafe. John Black. Hey, John.

What’s up? What? I’m sitting here with Steve and Ava. And Ava received a very disturbing video. Oh yeah? Of what? Of Tripp and Wendy being held hostage. Situation looks dire. So far we’re betting zero. Want to take a look at it? When did you receive it? It’s time sensitive, man. You want to look at it or not?

Yeah, okay. Send it over. On its way. Okay. Maybe they can pick up on something we missed. Well, let’s hope so. But in the meantime, how about we take another look? Fire it up.

Hi mom. First you need to know that Wendy and I are okay. You’re getting this message as a warning to keep your mouth shut and not talk to any law enforcement about anything you’re currently involved in. And you will not tell anyone about this video. You’re being monitored. So, be very careful what you say or do.

And be sure to do exactly as you’re told. Wait a minute. When you’re contacted. I’m missing something. I think I do. If you follow these instructions, Wendy and I can come home. No.

Where is my shepherd? I shall not want. He, makes me lie down and, Creeping pastures.

Leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul.

Wendy.

Abe, do you remember when I last saw you? When you, you last saw me. Yes, it was in heaven. Lexi, oh my

god.

It’s been ten years since I lost you.

It’s not a days gone by that I, that I don’t think of you, that miss you. You’re still in my heart. And in Theos, my precious son, he’s so kind, gentle, and when he smiles, There you are. My sweet Lexi. You raised him well, Abe. Oh no, no. I won’t take credit. Not all of it. You, you, you were there, as I said, and, and, and you are in his heart and in his smile.

You’re there, always. Always. Always. Always. See? I remember.

I remember now. I remember it all. I remember when we met. We met at the Salem PD and we We were partners. I Paulina? Paulina! Do you know what that means? Do you know what that means? Do you know what this means, my love? Hey,

hey. Don’t be sorry. It’s okay, really. Come on, sit. Hey. No. Look, Holly, it’s fine. It’s fine. It’s not fine. It’s not. I’m embarrassed. Actually, no, more than embarrassed, I’m ashamed. I should have known better. I mean, you even told me not to take those pills, but I did it anyways. Honestly, I thought they were just ADHD meds.

Just good old fashioned stims. Harmless. I should have listened to you, Tate. Wait. That’s why you’re sorry? Well, yeah. Is there something else I should be sorry about? Polly, do you have any idea what happened after you OD’d? I got in I got in terrible trouble. EJ blamed me for giving you those drugs. What?

Yeah, he said I forced you to take them. They were laced with opiates, which is Why you overdosed. He had me arrested, Holly. Lexi,

we had quite the life together, didn’t we?

We had our, we had our ups and downs, but we were so very much in love. We had our son, Leo. Oh my god, you were, you were chief of staff right here, right here at this hospital.

Seems I only fall in love with competent, feisty women. Yes, that seems to be true. But now, you need to focus on just one woman, Ape. The woman you’ve committed the rest of your life to. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Yes, this woman. This woman. She is my life now. She’s everything. She’s my everything. I remember. I remember.

Our wedding

looks so beautiful

and we, we jumped the prune because it was June 19th. June 19th. That’s the day that we became, we became husband and wife.

We have

so much life to live. Right, my darling? Paulina? Paulina? Paulina, are you with me? Paulina? Paulina?

No!

No! I think the

proof’s all here. Clyde is behind this. He’s the mastermind. He knew kidnapping Tripp would get Ava to do anything he demanded for her to save her son. But his plan to take me out failed miserably. And Goldman being the mole, I think we have a little bit of a criminal conspiracy on our hands. Goldman.

Goldman. Goldman. I had Goldman fill out the missing persons report. Wendy and Tripp. Everything looked fine until Damn. Check the contact for intel. Rebecca Goldman. What’s up? Pretty damn cunning. If anyone reached out, it would go straight to her.

Pull her GPS info. Pull her GPS info. When Wendy and Tripp went missing.

Hey, you alright? Yeah. Hey, are you okay? Are you sure you’re okay to do this? Alright. Yeah, I’m sure. Get on the phone then. Contact the prison. See if there’s any communication between Goldman and Clyde. I’m on it. Alright. They’re pulling up the squad’s GPS. Okay, good. That’s how police leads or something.

Look, I was focusing on Tripp before. But look at Wendy here. She’s, she’s been making these gestures behind him. Look, she, she brushes her hand across her cheek from the top to bottom and then making these circular motions two or three times. Yup. There it is, I see it, I see it. Okay. What are you doing?

Checking the ASL site. ASL? American Sign Language. Kayla and I studied it when she lost her hearing for a while. What, you think, you think that Wendy is, is using sign language? Yes, I do. That’s it. I got it. That’s, that’s ASL for beer. Beer? Why would Wendy be making the sign for beer? Hey, hey, hey. Look at this.

In the background, see the rivets on that metal there? Yeah. See that curvature? Looks like some sort of a tank. A brew tank! Hey man, isn’t there a brewery out past the airport? That has been abandoned for years. We were at the airport. We were just there. Let’s move. Okay.

Wait, EJ, he had you arrested? Yeah, yeah, he did. First, they sent me to jail, and then they sent me to this awful place for GV criminals, and then finally they moved me to this stupid rehab center called Serenity Salem. Oh my god, Tate, I’m so sorry. Don’t I had no idea. Don’t be sorry. Just, help me, Holly. You have to tell them the truth.

Tell them what, exactly? That the pills were yours. That your ODing was because of the pills that you had on you that night, New Year’s Eve. Holly, you have to tell them that I had nothing to do with it.

I can’t.

I’m getting nowhere with Statesville right now. They said there’s some type of toxic chemical spill tonight, so their hands are full. Wait, I think I got something here. What is it? Okay, starting from the date that Wendy and Tripp disappeared until today, there’s one address here that’s listed over a dozen times.

And it’s too far out of town to be a stop on Goldman’s patrol. Run it. Can we uh, let’s hope we hit pay dirt here. It’s the brewery, by the airport. Bingo. Okay, I’m going with you. Alright, good. You find out exactly what’s going on at Statesville. You should check the printout and see if Goldman made any more stops.

Any at all. She stopped for a cold hot dog. I want to know about it. Okay, and you will. Let’s go. Tripp! Tripp! Tripp! Wendy! Wendy! I told her! They’re here! Are they alive? Just stay back for now. Just stay here.

Lexi.

I remember after, after I got shot, you appeared to me from heaven. And you said, you said it wasn’t my time. You said that I was needed. Here in this life, we can’t be together. I don’t want to leave you. I’ll be here. My darling waiting, but it’s not your time yet. I think you know that.

Yes, I know it. I know it now. My children. The children need me. And my grandchildren, my friends, Paulina.

I know I have to go back. And so you will, my love. God bless you, Maxine.

Needed it. By my kids. My friends. And Paulina. And you still are.

I need her, Lexi. I, we, we need her. She, she, she, she’s, she’s scattered on by so many people.

She She can’t leave. She can’t leave. I’m not here to take anyone, Abe. I’m here to help you. To help Paulina. Close your eyes. Now look deep into your heart. And feel the love inside of it. Can you feel it, Abe? Good. Now take that feeling of love and transfer it to her. Transfer it? Transfer it? How? How? Believe, Abe.

You have to believe what’s in your heart. Believe. Believe.

I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it.

What do you mean, you can’t? You can’t what, tell the truth? This is my life we’re talking about here, Holly, and right now I have no life. I am stuck in some awful halfway house for no reason, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I want my life back, Holly! Okay, okay. I’ll tell them the drugs weren’t yours.

I just can’t tell them they were mine. What? No, but Holly, they’re still gonna think that they were mine. Don’t you get it? Tate, Tate, please. Please, we can make up another story. Why do we have to make up another story? Why can’t you just tell the truth? Because, Look, I overheard my mom talking to EJ when she thought I was sleeping, and she was going on about how disappointed she’d be if it turned out those drugs were mine.

And, I mean, you know, when she lost her baby, she totally fell apart. It was horrible what that did to her. And then, God, with me almost dying? I mean, if she thought I was responsible for what happened to me, I I can’t do that to her, Tate. I just can’t. Oh my god.

So, you are going to sacrifice me. You are going to totally ruin my future so that you can what, Holly? Keep up appearances? Pretend you’re just this little golden child? It’s not like that. Then what is it like, Holly? Please. Please. Holly, please, you have to help me. Come on, Ricky,

come on. Back to me, kid. Come on, kid. Come on, come on. Are they breathing? Come on. Ava, stay back, please. Are they breathing? Tell me! Call 9 1 1. I already did. Call again! Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on. Hey. Hey. Yes, yes, yes. Hi. Hi, hi, hi. Yes, I just called. Yes, a few minutes ago about two people that we found out at the brewery.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

There you are. Hey, how are you holding up?

Mom, I’m losing it, I swear. I’m barely holding on. I know. Your dad said that he spoke to Nicole. Yeah, he told me too. I was so pumped when I heard that Holly was out of her coma, but she doesn’t even remember anything from that night. Nothing. I know it’s a blow. But we are not giving up. We are going to clear your name.

God, I was so sure she was going to tell the truth, too. That I didn’t give her those drugs, that I tried to tell her not to take them. I know. But your family believes you. Well, I hope that does me now. Still stuck in here with no way out. What are we gonna do, Mom?

Hey! Welcome back. Thanks. Hey. It’s, uh, it’s good to be back. Yeah. How’s Molly? Oh, here, come on in. Yeah. Um, well, she’s very excited for your visit. Yeah. Um, she is a little upset, though. That she can’t remember anything about New Year’s Eve. So, but she is on the mend and she’s getting stronger every hour. Wow, that’s fantastic.

And how was it for you? I mean, being in Italy, were you able to get out at all? Oh, um, you know, very little. I was back and forth to the hospital and my hotel room, so. Yeah. How’s the photography business? It’s good. Great. I’m picking up, but you know what? My main focus, it’s kind of, it’s been on parenthood.

Pretty great, isn’t it? Oh yeah, it’s pretty great. I’m really happy to see you. Likewise. Never fear, Nanny McStark is here. God, I’m gonna regret this, aren’t I? Would you prefer I leave? No, no, I’m desperate for a babysitter and my last resort. I’m touched. I went through every contact in my phone. Eric’s family, the neighbors, literally no one else was available.

Well, then how lucky for you that I was footloose and fancy free. And I came prepared. See, I’ve been reading up on child rearing, and they say that bright colors stimulate cognitive development. And did you know that babies prefer high pitched voices, elongated vowels, and over enunciation? Isn’t that right, baby?

Great. Well, looks like you got it covered. Uh, if he gets hungry, there’s formula in the fridge. I am going to meet a new client. She’ll be back in a couple of hours, hopefully before Eric gets home. If you have any concerns Don’t worry, Mommy. Okay, fine. But listen, don’t forget that like a fine wine or a park avenue escort, I don’t come cheap.

You’ve been draining me dry for weeks. Cheap is never a word I’d use to describe you. That is so sweet. Mommy is a hot mess.

So where’s Clyde’s cell again? Clyde’s cell is Right here. In the watchtowers. Or right here. And right here. Okay.

Angela, tell me you’ll make this happen. Tripp doesn’t have much time.

So I can count on you? Bene, bene grazie.

Yeah, I owe you big. Ava,

sorry the situation has put you in this position. Yeah, well, so much for vowing that I’ll never work with my family again. So they’re in? Yeah, it’s taken care of. Angelo and his team will do their part. What it cost you?

Extends through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Holly, honey, are you decent? Yeah, come in. Hey. Hello, sweetheart. Eric. Hey. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here. Me too. Just so happy to see you awake. I’m Yeah, so I’m pretty scared for a while. Yeah, I can’t believe I was out for two months. Yeah. It’s so freaky missing time like that. I bet. Yeah, I bet your mom says you’re on the mend.

You’re getting stronger all the time. Yes, she is. Sarah was here yesterday. She ran a few tests. So, our girl is on track and on her way back to normal. That’s great. Our little miracle.

What’s your plan? Theresa. Hi. And you must be Tate. I’m Sloane Peterson. Sloane has agreed to take over your case. What happened to Justin? Well, uh, as much as I’m grateful to Justin, he is knee deep right now in defending Xander Cook in attempted murder charges. So, he’ll help later, if he can. In the meantime, I’ve decided to go outside the Kiriakis family, and I want to bring you home, back to your family, where you belong, as soon as possible.

And, as your new lawyer, I’ll start by telling you, we plan to take a somewhat Novel. approach.

My family’s doing this as a one time favor. Okay, if it comes back to bite me, I’ll deal with it when the time comes. I’ve spent decades fielding demands from my family. I’m an expert at it. So let’s not get distracted. Ava called in her family because we need their help. They have the connections we need inside that prison.

That’s right. Whatever it takes, Tripp and Wendy have to be saved. Okay. Right. Okay. So, let’s just drop the topic of Angelo and his team. They’re handled. And they’re only one part of the plan. It’s up to us to take care of the rest.

Oh, here we go. Okay, um Let’s see.

Checklist for a crying baby. Step one is the child hungry. Why don’t we grab that bottle of formula mommy prepared for you, okay? Right back. Okay. Hmm. Now go, huh? All right. Okay. Step two, is the baby feverish? Uh oh. Uh oh.

98. 6, that’s perfect. Okay. Step three, does the baby have We knew this moment would come, didn’t we, soldier? Don’t you worry, I got this. And then

the cops said, I’ll take those. So I looked at my dad, he nodded for me to do it, and then I handed the drugs to her. That’s, um, that’s pretty much it. This is all very helpful, Tate. Can you remember anything else? Even some small detail you might have left out? Um, no. No, that’s everything.

Do you think you can help us, Miss Peterson? I do. But I think we should go over the challenges first. Uh, okay. Thing is, even though EJ’s case is mostly circumstantial, it doesn’t help that Tate delayed calling for help when he first found Holly unconscious, or that he initially lied to a police officer who later saw him with drugs in his hands.

But that was a mistake that he made in the heat of the moment. He was really scared and confused. He was just trying to help a girl that he has a big crush on. Shh. I understand that. The question is will the jury believe that if we go to trial?

So I have to check with the hospital about when your next exam is and schedule your physical therapy. So you two keep talking and I will be back. Okay. Do you know that I came and saw you every day at the hospital? You did? I did. I came by to pray for you. Until your mom decided to take you to, you know, Italy.

Did I look weird? No, you looked like you were sleeping. Oh. Um, uh, was there anyone else there? Of course, pretty much everyone at some point. Oh, I’ve, I’ve got a lot to catch up on. Yeah. Your mom said that you’re having trouble remembering what happened the night you overdosed. Yeah, it’s, it’s all just blank.

I don’t even remember passing out. Well, do you think that somebody slipped some drugs into your cup? Uh, um, I don’t, I don’t know. I mean, I guess that makes sense. Dancing. I didn’t watch my drink the whole time. Someone, some loser totally could have slipped something in there. I don’t know. You know, Holly, every time, um You got nervous when you were a kid.

You used to play with your hair. Oh, I didn’t spill the juice. I didn’t color on the walls. You used to be afraid to ever tell me the truth when you were nervous or thought you might get in trouble. That was a long time ago. Owie. What aren’t you telling me?

I’ve checked out the entire duct system here. It’s a go. You know, there’s also a service gate behind yard two. It’s rarely used, but it gives us less ground to cover if we can get Weston into position. Nice. Alright, where’s that list of supplies again? Here, here it is. Okay, we got uh, wire cutters, grinder, hacksaw, black tape, disguises, binoculars, cable ties.

Night vision goggles? Yeah, it’s right on here. Everything’s in order. Alright, Steven, I will handle the transportation within your field. And, uh, Angelo will have a plane prepared for immediate flight at the designated airstrip. Anything else? I think we’re ready to go. Right? Tonight we break into prison.

Okay, okay. Ah, see? That wasn’t so bad, was it? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. That has always been my motto. Well, that and, if at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you. Okay, well, now that we’re changed and settled and looking very adorable, I might add, how about, oh, how about I rock you to sleep?

You ready for a little shut eye, huh? Okay. Uh, well I don’t see a rocking chair, so how about I walk you to sleep? And I could tell you a story. Would you like that? Okay, I take that little wrinkled nose as a yes. Um, so it was a dark and stormy night. No, you’re right, that’s too scary. Why don’t we go a different route?

Once upon a time, a very handsome little prince was born along the side of the road. And he was delivered by his very godfather, none other than yours truly. And for the briefest of moments, his mother got to hold him very lovingly in her arms. And then, a tall, handsome German god swooped in and took him away, bound for the hospital.

Or so we thought. Instead, they were waylaid by an evil, nasty, bottle blonde, wicked witch. Okay, that’s not fair. We don’t know for sure that she’s a bottle blonde.

How does the story end, you ask?

I don’t know.

But so far it’s not looking good.

But the little prince,

He is always going to be protected from poison apples. Because that’s my job. Okay. What? What

is that? Are you smiling at me?

Well, that warms my heart.

Yeah, that really warms my heart.

Eric, New Year’s Eve, that night,

It’s all just a blur. I really wish I could remember what happened.

Um, hey, how’s Jude doing? I’m sure he’s a lot bigger since Christmas. Yeah, yeah he is. He’s actually holding his head up. And he’s sleeping through the night while we waste most of the time. Got any new pictures? Of course I do. I just shot these the other day when he was having a little tummy time. Oh my gosh, he’s so cute.

Yeah. Look at those little cheeks. Yeah. Oh, he’s adorable. Oh, oh, oh, oh my goodness, he’s so precious. Definitely a keeper. Yes, he is. Wait till you see him at the christening. When is it? Will I be well enough? Well, we held off until you were both back in Salem and you were awake. Oh my gosh. Your mom said she wanted you both to be there.

Well, that was thoughtful. Well, Holly, I mean, if your doctors say it’s fine, then yes, of course you can come if you’re feeling up for it. Oh, I’ll be more than up for it. Oh. I can’t wait. Well, like I said, I haven’t made an official date yet, but it’s going to be a small family gathering at St. Luke’s, and then we’re going to have the reception at Brady’s Pub.

Oh. Yeah. You know, I have an idea. What if we have the reception here? I would love to host it. Oh, thanks for the offer, but it’s too much to ask. Well, you, you didn’t ask. And, um, hello? Are you kidding? I would love to do it for you. Especially since you saved the date for us. Really, the, the pub is fine. To be honest, I just don’t think someone would be on board.

Are you sure? I mean, look, you’re both parenting and working full time. It would be a huge load off of her and you if someone else planned it, right? And besides, closing the pub would take away business for Roman, so She’s right. I am. It’d be really cool if you had it here, Eric. It would. And look, Holly’s still recovering, so it’d be better if it were here.

And then she’s not running from the church to the pub and the, you know, the whole thing. Of course, it is totally up to you, but I would really love to do this for you. And, you know, maybe it’ll help make things right between Sloane and me.

Okay. It’s a great offer. Thank you. I’ll let Sloane know. Wait, do you think we’re gonna have to go to trial? No, no, that can’t be. This is not gonna go to trial, right Sloane? Well, that’s my hope. Um, but as we all know, EJ is DA. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve taken him on many times before, and beaten him, and negotiated some kick ass plea deals.

But, this case is personal to him. But my dad said that Holly’s awake now, we just need to get her to tell the truth. But, you said that she doesn’t remember the truth. The bottom line is, it’s going to be very hard to prove your innocence unless, She admits the drugs were hers. If we go to trial, I’ll depose her, of course, and try to get the truth out of her.

Yes, that’s good. Let’s go after her. Go after her? Mom, she’s my friend. Really? Would a friend let you go down for a crime that you didn’t commit? I’m gonna pursue every angle I can, but I do think we should consider another option. What might that be? Going to trial is a long, arduous process with no guarantee of the outcome.

I could arrange a plea deal and you would get a light sentence tape or possibly even time served. Before you know it, you’d be free to go home. No, that’s BS. I don’t want a plea deal or a light sentence. I didn’t do anything wrong. I tried to stop Holly from taking those pills. I am totally innocent. Don’t you get that?

All right. We are out of here. I’ll pick up any other supplies we might need. And I’ll get the unmarked vehicle to transport Weston to the airport. Okay, great. And I’ll meet you both at the airfield. Right. Oh, John, remember, we have to stop by the office and pick up that special equipment. Oh, yeah, well, we might just need our old pal Rico’s basement again.

Oh, yeah. Wait, wait, a minute. Special equipment, basement. What are you two talking about? It’s just everything we need to interrogate Weston about Tripp and Wendy’s location. So we’re gonna make it look like we’re busting, busting out and getting into the airfield? Yeah, but in reality, that’s not gonna happen.

We’re not gonna let him go. Oh, like hell we’re not.

H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y M Z. Now I know my ABC’s. Uh! Next time won’t you rap with me? Check it! That’s impressive. Did you daddy’s home? Uh, you alone? Where’s my wife? She’s out with a client. So you’re babysitting? Word. Son didn’t tell me she called you. I would have known. I would have been here with him.

Well, if it’ll ease your mind, he has been fed, burped, changed, entertained, washed, rinsed, repeat. And check this. Peek a boo! Are you laughing at him? Or his outfit. Hey, now. No, no, I’m sorry. You just, you, you two seem to belong. Yeah. We’ve got a connection. I felt it ever since he came into my life. Quite a special little boy you’ve got.

Couldn’t agree more.

Okay, so I’m thinking of a cold buffet bar that way people can snack since they’ll be popping in and out. Yes, oh, and we should do those, um, those individual cakes too, you know, like the bite sized ones. Yes, with a little blue icing. Mom, that whole pink blue thing is so last century. Okay. And, hey, I will be in charge of music playlists.

Because if you do it, we’ll end up with a three hour Billy Joel medley or something. I had one Billy Joel CD growing up. You will not let me live that down. Besides, Piano Man was the most amazing song ever. All his songs were, actually. If you say so. I do say so. Oh gosh, it’s going to be so great to have a celebration here.

Since there’s been so much sadness lately. Yeah, there has. So Aren’t those pictures of Jude just adorable? Mom, try not to go there, okay?

I know, honey. It’s just that sometimes those feelings just come flooding back, thinking about your little brother and, and what happened to you. I’m here. I’m back now. Thank God. Because I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you, my precious girl. I don’t know what I would have done.

Okay, so I’m going to go make a call to get the ball rolling. Mom, I don’t get it. Why do I have to plead guilty when I’m innocent? Tate, it’s to get you out of this mess. It’s a tactic, okay, to get you home sooner. We don’t know if EJ’s gonna drag this out for the long haul. It’s, it’s a guarantee of a light sentence.

But Holly could come around. She could tell the truth when she remembers.

Honey, we don’t know if, if that’s gonna happen. And we can’t wait around for that possibility. So we just need to do whatever is best to make sure we can get you out of here. Does Holly even know where I am? Does she know that I was arrested and then beat up in jail and then shoved into a halfway house?

I don’t know. I don’t know, but I will find out for you. Yes? Can I talk to you for a second? Sure.

I’ll be meeting with the judge soon to file a formal complaint against EJ. Hopefully I can get him removed from the case due to bias and non objectivity. That would be great. It’s a long shot, but there’s a chance the judge will see it our way. EJ seems to have some really strong pull with the judges.

I’m aware. We’ll know soon enough how the complaint pans out, but in the meantime, I need Tate to stay mentally sharp and focused in case this goes to trial. You two think you’re gonna double cross Clyde Weston? Do you have any idea how insane that is? Steve, how could you even think of risking our son’s safety like this?

I’m doing it for his safety. Look, we’re taking all this risk to break that maniac out of prison. So what if he takes off and he doesn’t give us Tripp back? That is a risk I’m not willing to take. So we’re going to hold Clyde’s feet to the fire for as long as it takes until he coughs up Tripp and Wendy’s location.

That’s the only way this is going to work. You are out of your mind. Do you realize that? Look, Clyde may play the country bumpkin, but he is sharp as a tack and he knows what he is doing. Look at his track record since he has been in prison. A police detective has already been gunned down. He set the fire at the Horton House.

And he is scattering drugs all over this town with the force of a Texas tornado. We know what we’re dealing with, Ava. Oh, do you? Do you really? Yes, yes. Okay, well then you know that he’s already broken in here and he is watching us. You know, he could be listening to us right now. I swept the place for bugs when I first came in and it was clean.

And with our training, no one, you know. Is ever going to follow us to the rendezvous point. Okay, well that is not enough. Don’t you get it? Clyde Weston will find a way to royally screw us if we don’t do exactly what he wants. If we defy him in any way, he is going to seek revenge and it’s going to be tragic.

So I’m begging you, please, please, just let him go. Steve, it is the price we are gonna have to pay to save our son. Ava,

I know that Clyde’s been doing a number on you lately, and you’ve been on pins and needles for months. You’re not thinking clearly. Oh, screw you, Steve. I’m thinking just fine. Okay, all I mean is that you’ve been under pressure, okay? But we can’t let Clyde Weston go. I know. Especially not after everything he’s done to half the people in this town.

Steve’s right, Ava. Can’t let a career criminal like Weston go free. We had to alter the plan. Oh yeah, and with no surprise, you two are in cahoots behind my back. Okay, so now you know everything, all right? So we’re gonna do the plan exactly as it was laid out. But when we get to the airfield, we’re gonna make it clear to Weston that either he gives up Tripp and Wendy’s location, or the night is gonna end very badly for him.

Trust us. Weston is never going to know what even hit him. Oh, honey, I, I should be talking to my therapist about this. Not my beautiful daughter who’s recently been through enough as it is. Oh, it’s okay, mom. I know how hard it was for you to lose the baby. And then what happened to me? I mean, you’ve been through a lot too.

It definitely was a lot. Not just watching you lie there so still day after day. I just, I didn’t know if you were going to come back to us or if you would ever talk again or, or, or be yourself. God, and then I thought, what if you woke up and you didn’t remember anything? Like, with Eve. And Paulina, I mean, what if you, you didn’t remember all of our good times and, and the tea parties we had when you were a little girl and, and the forts we made with the couch cushions and looking for frogs on our nature walks.

I remember all of those things.

And then I’m very grateful for honey.

And I’m also grateful for all the support that I had because if it weren’t for EJ and, and Eric, I don’t know what I would have done.

I really did lean on that baby. Mom, you are so strong all on your own. Don’t forget that. You’re a survivor. Oh, me? Yes, so are you. I mean, look at you, my little fighter. Um, yeah. Well, I’d really like to not think about New Year’s Eve anymore and the party, what happened, or at least, you know, not talk about it as much.

Okay, Annie, I understand. So we will just, we will leave the past where it belongs, okay? And we’ll just focus on this baby bash, yeah?

This has been so hard on Tate. Emotionally. It’s been rough on the whole family, obviously. As for me, I um, I fell off the wagon. It was just a one time slip. And it was demoralizing. To say the least. Anyway, now I’m completely committed to my sobriety. And all I care about is just being there for my son. And I do not want this nightmare to permanently damage his psyche or mess up his future.

I get it. I, brother Colin is locked up in prison right now. Well, because of his thirst for revenge and unlike Tate, he was guilty, but. I still wish I could have saved him from the mistakes he made. Anyway, I can’t guarantee what the outcome will be for your son, but I promise I will do everything I can to help.

Thank you so much. I get the sense he’s a good kid. He is. Let’s do everything we can to take him home.

Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow. All right? I’m going to let you know what Sloan finds out from the judge. Okay. Hey. Hey, don’t be upset about Holly. Okay? You need to stay positive. You know how many people you have backing you in your corner? Don’t give up. Don’t worry. I will never give up. That’s my boy. Love you.

Love you.

You know, I was about 14 months when I started walking. My twin sister Sammy, she was a little bit more ahead of me. And, uh, she started running around the house and nobody could keep up with her. I’m pretty sure I skipped walking and went straight to running. Away from my mother in terror. You’re home! Hey!

Uh, Eric, I couldn’t find anyone to babysit. I, I just And you found Leo. Who’s been doing a wonderful job. You even got him to smile and laugh. That’s great! I think he remembers me. Well, since we’re both home, uh, Leo, you can head out. Um, I’ll just pay you. Oh, no, no, no. He can stick around if he wants. I mean, we don’t have any plans.

I’m sure he has plans. Nope. Free as a bird. Super. I’m gonna get a glass of wine. Oh, yes, please. Hey, honey, by the way, um, Nicole, well, she offered to host a little after party at the DiMera mansion. Yeah, it’s kind of her way of extending an old friendship. O M G, Nicole is just the sweetest. And the DiMera mansion, what a perfect venue.

Fine. We’ll do it your way. I just want my son back. And once he is home and he is safe. I don’t give a damn what happens to Clyde. We have everything we need to deal with him, Ava. I assure you. But first, we have got a prison to break into. I’m ready. Let’s move it. Okay. We’ll be in touch within the hour.

Alright, password should be my birthday. I want to think about changing that, mom. I’m in. What? Crap, I don’t know Holly’s number. I don’t know anyone’s number. Oh, she’s got a contact. Damn, she’s got a contact list. Um, So familiar. Okay, so we will do finger sandwiches, um, and pasta salad. Rolls. Rolls, yes, great idea.

And petite fours. Must haves. Oh, and hey, maybe we can do, like, little candle party favors with Jude’s name on them. Yes, that’s a great idea. Okay, I’ll let you look into that. I think Sloan and Eric are gonna love this. I can’t wait. Uh, so listen, I’m gonna go out and hunt down those petite fours, and then we’ll talk to Cook when I get back.

Do you need anything while I’m out? Okay, well, text me if you think of anything, okay?

Theresa Donovan? Why the heck is Tate’s mother sliding in my DMs? Sorry lady, no time for you. I’ve got a party to plan.
