Salem Police Station

Bo has Hope down at the police station, and she is being booked right now. She and Bo stare at each other before he looks away, and Hope stars down towards the floor, knowing whats happening between her and Bo. She shakes as a few officers walk up to her, and grab ahold of her arms.

Officer

Alright, Mrs. Brady, we’ll take you down to the holding area…your sister is down there, too.

Hope, nodding

Please don’t throw her in prison, please…I pulled her into this.

Officer

That’s up to Judge Fitzpatrick, there’s nothing we can do. Now lets go.

Hope

Wait, can I have a few moments with my husband. Please?

Bo

Yeah, we need to talk first.

The officers nod and back away for a moment, and Hope looks up at Bo, once again looking into each other’s eyes.

Hope, sniffing

Well…I guess this is the end, Brady.

Bo

Hey, what are you saying? Its not the end yet, Hope.

Hope

Don’t lie to yourself. You know this is the end, whether I get the death sentence or not.

Bo

You won’t get the death sentence, I won’t let it happen!

Hope

Please, Bo…just stop…I realized something today, something very important, and you know it too…

Hope turns around and gives another nod to the officers, and they drag Hope away while Bo watches, and contemplates what she said…

Episode: 259, Hope Jailed

DiMera Mansion

In the living room, Stefano is drinking a glass of champagne as the TV is on one of the local news stations, and Renee and Kristen are with him while he watches.

News Reporter

And the latest update on the breaking news downtown is that famed fashion designer, Kate Roberts, is alive and well after thought killed by Tony DiMera in Italy in October of last year…exactly how she is alive is still being investigated.

Stefano, looking at Renee

She had better not screw up any of our plans, or it will be on your head.

Renee

Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll stay under control.

News Reporter

And Vivian Alamain has been arrested after she was revealed to be behind many of the crimes that swept Salem in mid-2006, and is being transported to the Salem PD Station as we speak. She also is being charged with assault after she attacked Valentine Heart and Celeste Perrault. Miss Alamain has committed crimes before in Salem, but was never successfully put in prison.

Stefano, grinning

Ah, perfect…

Kristen

What?

Stefano

Oh, nothing, my dear.

News Reporter

And finally, we have an update on the shooting of Nicole Walker hours ago at the same fashion show. She is said to be in stable condition, and in the process of coming out of her coma, while the search for her shooter continues. Miss Walker’s parents, Tony DiMera and Marlena Evans, were the ones who found her unconscious in her dressing room, and quickly called paramedics.

Stefano, dropping his drink

Tony…and Marlena….?

Renee

Father, father, calm down…I can explain it all…

Kristen

You explain this to him…I don’t want to talk about that disgusting pig of a man: Tony.

Kristen walks out of the room, and Stefano falls onto the couch in shock.

Stefano

This must be a trick…Tony and Marlena never had a child!

Renee

You didn’t know? I assumed since Marlena was in your captivity at the time you’d-

Stefano

They never were together! NEVER! The only child Tony has ever had was with you!

Downtown Salem

Outside of the fashion show building, Kate looks at her unconscious daughter and sighs, shaking her head.

Kate

Don’t worry, Billie, once you wake up I’ll explain everything to you.

Victor, walking up to Kate

Time for some answers. Who the hell are you and why are you impersonating a dead woman?

Kate

Victor, please! You came back from the dead once, remember?! Everyone thought you were dead for a year and a half after Nicole and Jan Spears electrocuted you, but you came back! And I was only “dead” for six or seven months.

Victor

Yes, that’s true, but its too coincidental. I could see it easily being something Vivian concocted to get back at all of us.

Kate

Vivian had nothing to do with this, thank goodness! She’s going to be rotting in jail soon anyway! For the last time, I am Kate Roberts! I am Kate Roberts Reed Kiriakis Brady! Well, whatever Roman, er Allan’s, last name was.

Victor

Give me the DNA Test results you said you had. I am going to make sure they are accurate.

Kate, taking out several papers

Fine, here you are.

Victor

For now, you’re staying in the Kiriakis Mansion, where I can keep a close eye on you.

Kate

Excuse me?!

Victor

It’s the safest way, my dear.

Kate

This is a free country, I can live wherever I please! And I’m not becoming some kind of prisoner after I finally recovered from that shot to my head! You can’t hold me captive like you did Nikki whats-her-name and Philip!

Victor grabs ahold of Kate’s arm and tries to pull her away, and Justin walks out of the building after controlling everything inside with Bella, and sees Victor trying to pull Kate off and walks over to his uncle.

Justin

Uncle Victor, are you sure that’s a good idea?

Kate

No, its not! Now let me go!

Victor

I know what I’m doing.

Kate

You’ll pay for this, Victor!

DiMera Mansion

Renee

W-w-what?? Tony and I never had a child!

Stefano

But that baby girl…Andre showed her to me, he told me she was yours…

Renee

And you took Andre’s word for it?! Father, Andre is insane! I promise you, Tony and I NEVER had a child! It was Tony and Marlena! Andre lied to you, he tricked you because he knew you would be furious! Vince and him worked together after they found out Marlena got pregnant!

Stefano

Vince?! You mean that crazy alter you are always mentioning?! Oh, what the hell is going on here?! How did Marlena even get pregnant?!

Renee, after a brief pause

That…I don’t know.

Stefano

This is insanity. And I thought Jan Spears was Tony’s daughter, not Nicole Walker of all people!

Renee

Father, what are you talking about?

Stefano

Andre, and I suppose with the help of Tony or that Vince character, gave the baby away to the rich Spears family. That much I do know, because I was overseeing it to make sure she got the best home possible…and I was the one who named her! I named her Jan!

Renee

This is insanity! Elvis and I were watching everything while you were in your coma during the Winter and Spring, and Nicole came forward at your funeral, even with a DNA Test, and before that Anna DiMera knew and also did a test. She’s been this DiMera child for months!

Stefano

Well, I know of Nicole Walker, she’s a scheming gold-digger, and she probably manipulated everything! I can’t believe no one figured it out before this.

Renee

Shouldn’t we tell Tony? He is still family.

Stefano

No! After all that man did to me, betraying me like he did, I always vowed to never tell him who his missing child was, and that man raped my daughter, we’ll let it unravel on its own.

Renee has a worried look on her face as Stefano leaves the room, and she follows.

Renee, whispering to herself

Tony, I’m so sorry…

Soon after they walk out of the living room and the foyer, Megan slowly walks into the living room, carrying a butcher knife like she has been lately. She glances at the TV, and is intrigued by what she is hearing.

News Reporter

More breaking news today: Hope Williams Brady, former police officer and wife of long-running police officer Bo Brady, who killed Princess Gina Von Amburg in Italy last year and then went on the run, has returned to Salem and turned herself in, and is currently being held at the Salem police station.

Megan’s eyes widen, and she begins to laugh maniacally.

Megan

I knew this would happen, I just knew it…and now…now its time for me to take my rightful place as Bo’s love, his wife. Your era is over, Hope, and mine is just beginning! No more playing around, its time to put the plan I’ve worked so hard, so long, to make into action!

Hope’s picture comes up on the screen, and while she continues to laugh, Megan tosses her knife through the TV, and the entire screen shatters everywhere as smoke begins to come out of the TV. Megan just grins, and then turns, walking out of the mansion…
