Downtown Salem

At the fashion show, Vivian has Valentine pinned to the ground, and is literally ripping her apart! Valentine screams for help, and Celeste tries to stop Vivian, however Vivian angrily stands and elbows Celeste in the stomach and pushes her off the stage! Celeste lies on the ground, hurt, and Victor rushes to her side.

Victor

Oh, Celeste! Are you alright?!

Celeste does not respond, while Valentine kicks Vivian away, and tries to stand up to run, but Vivian grabs her by the hair and swings her around, tossing her towards the wall! The guests gasp and scream in shock as many begin to dial 911, and Vivian grabs Valentine by the neck after Valentine hit’s the wall, and starts to choke her!

Vivian, as Valentine is gasping for air

You’ve destroyed me, so I’ll kill you!

Episode: 257, Vivian vs. Valentine

Written by: Tara Smith

Downtown Salem

Back in the Mysterious Person and Elvis’s office above the stage and at the top of the building, they continue to watch all the havoc in the stage room.

Elvis

Wow, I didn’t think you’d be able to cause this much hell to break loose in one day. I’m almost impressed.

Mysterious Person, laughing

Didn’t think anyone could match up to your big powerful family, did you? Well, I told you this would be a day to remember, and from Nicole being shot to Vivian going absolutely nuts, it certainly is.

Elvis

Yeah, I just wonder what Father will think about all this…

At the stage, Vivian continues to strangle Valentine while screaming at her.

Vivian

You just love screwing up my life, don’t you?! Helping that bastard nephew of mine get me out of Alamain, constantly taunting me, and now this! Well I’m going to make sure that this is the last time you will ever mess with me…you should never have come back to Salem!

Others rush over to try to pull Vivian away from Valentine, including Nicholas, but Vivian herself shoves them away. Nicholas keeps at it and finally gets a good grip on her, and Vivian releases Valentine, as Valentine gasps for air.

Valentine

You…you…it will be the last time I mess with…you…because I’m going to make sure…that this is…your last stand!

Valentine darts towards Vivian and Nicholas, and SHOVES Vivian down hard, the force so powerful that it even knocks her out of Nicholas’s grasp! Valentine pins Vivian to the ground, much like what Vivian did to her minutes ago, but Vivian throws Valentine right off of her, and she stands and slugs Valentine right across the face! Valentine grabs ahold of Vivian’s arm and digs her nails right into it, scratching Vivian badly, and the fight just continues.

Salem University Hospital

Maggie is sitting at Abe’s bedside, after leaving Bo and Hope’s house to give them some time together, and Abe has only been conscious several times In the past few days, however right now he is awake and Maggie is clutching his hand tightly.

Abe, talking slowly

Thank…you, so much…for taking care of me.

Maggie

What do you expect me to do? You’ve been a great friend the past several months, and it’s the least I can do, and I want you to get through this, I really do. I mean, Mike is already on getting you the best treatment anyone could have.

Abe

You…don’t have to do all this.

Maggie

You’re right, I don’t, but I want to. I wasn’t able to cure my husband’s heart disease in time of his death, I won’t let one of my best friends die.

Abe

I…think you are too kind, Maggie.

Maggie

Nonsense. You deserve this, and so much more.

Abe

So, do they know when I should leave the hospital? I need to get back to my job.

Maggie

Mike’s not sure yet, he’s still running a lot of tests. But don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine, and so is the PD, because I don’t think you will be able to go back for some time, while you are healing.

Abe

The town needs me.

Maggie

They will do fine without you. Listen, please excuse me, I’ll be right back.

Abe nods slowly as he closes his eyes, and she leaves the room, and once outside she closes her eyes in dissappointment, knowing that Abe is depressed because he lost custody of Theo.

Maggie

I just need…something to cheer him up…I can’t let him get too depressed.

Downtown Salem

Inside the Mysterious Person and Elvis’s office, they continue to watch the huge and intense catfight, shocked at how much Vivian and Valentine are tearing into each other.

Mysterious Person

Well, I think its time I got out there…not much else that I was waiting for anyway, and my surprise will be ruined if one of them kill the other.

Elvis, taking a deep breath

Alright, do your thing, I guess. I’ll wait here and watch, because I don’t think there’s anything I can do at this point.

Mysterious Person

If you insist…well, Salem, its finally time for my dazzling return!

The Mysterious Person stands and walks out of the room, while Elvis rubs his temples.

Elvis

Oh, if all of you out there thought that what Vivian did would shatter everything…wait till you see this.

On the stage, Vivian and Valentine enter into an intense struggle, each of them having a strong grip of their arms, and Forrest and Nicholas continue to try to pull them apart, but it does no good. As they practically twirl around the room, they eventually trip and fall right down onto the end of the stage!!! Then, out of the blue, the Announcer’s voice is heard.

Announcer

And now, the final model of the evening…the thought-late, great….KATE ROBERTS!

EVERYONE in the room, including Valentine and Vivian, suddenly look up at hearing the words “Kate Roberts”, who was thought to have died in Italy many months ago. Kate herself, in a huge fancy dress, comes strolling down the runway!!

Kate, stopping at Valentine and Vivian

Sorry, ladies, but…I’m back, and better than ever.

Kate grins as she stares at Vivian’s completely horrified face…
