Stefano and EJ are in the living room of the DiMera mansion.

EJ: Well, what’s so important.

Stefano We have a problem.

EJ: With?

Stefano: One of my sources overheard Bo Brady telling Samantha about getting a search warrant for here, and finding the gun.

EJ: Really?

Stefano: Well, I suggest you get the gun, and bring it somewhere else.

The doorbell rings.

Stefano: I’ll get it, Harold.

Stefano opens the door, and Bo and Roman are standing outside.

Stefano: Well, if it isn’t my two favourite detectives! What do you want?

Bo: We have a warrant.

Roman: Step aside, Stefano.

Carrie and Sami are sitting in the Brady Pub.

Sami: So, have you heard anything from Austin?

Carrie: Nothing yet. I’m thinking of just telling him I’m pregnant through a voicemail.

Sami: I can’t believe him.

Stephanie walks through the door. She walks to Carrie.

Stephanie: Carrie! It’s so good to see you!

They hug.

Carrie: How is everything?

Stephanie: Ok, I guess.

Sami: You guess?

Stephanie sits down.

Stephanie: I think I just ruined a bunch of lives, including mine.

Philip and Chloe are in the waiting room at the hospital.

Chloe: What are we going to do?

Philip: We’ll figure it out, Chloe.

Philip hugs her. Melanie sees them. She starts crying, and turns around. She bumps into Nathan.

Nathan: What’s wrong?

Melanie: It’s all over, Nathan.

Nathan hugs her. Daniel and Carly are standing at the nurses station.

Daniel: What the hell is taking this test so long?

Carly: It won’t be long, Daniel. Just sit, I’ll get you some coffee.

Daniel sits, as Carly gets pours some coffee. She looks worried.

Victor and Kate are sitting at a table in Chez Rouge.

Victor: So, I see your talk with Maggie did a lot of good.

Kate: I tried my best, Victor. Do you even want to be in a relationship with her at this time? With Vivian and everything. Who knows what Vivian is planning.

Victor: If Vivian knows what’s good for her, she will stay away.

Vivian walks by.

Vivian: Why, did I hear my name?

Kate: Dear God.

Victor: Keep walking.

Vivian: Oh, but I’d love to stay for lunch.

She sits down.

Vivian: So, how is everyone today?

Bo and Roman are upstairs, in the DiMera mansion.

Bo: Do you think it’s even in here?

Roman: I hope so.

EJ and Stefano are downstairs, in the living room.

Stefano: Where the hell is that gun?

EJ: Don’t worry about it. There’s no way their going to find it.

Stefano: How can you be so sure?

EJ: Don’t worry.

Sami, Carrie, and Stephanie are sitting at a table in the Brady Pub.

Carrie: Well, you did the right thing.

Stephanie: Look how many lives I’ve ruined now.

Sami: It’s better that the truth is out.

Stephanie: That little twit is going to go running to my fiancé.

Carrie: He’s not just going to leave you to be with her.

Stephanie: Maybe I should just end it with him before it becomes worse.

Sami: I think that’s a good idea.

Carrie: Sami-

Sami: It’s true, Carrie. Look at me, what I did to hold onto a man. It’s not worth it.

Stephanie: Your right, Sami.

Victor, Vivian, and Kate are sitting at a table in Chez Rouge.

Vivian: You two are being unbelievably rude! After all, you two are the ones who left me in that sarcophagus!

Kate gets up.

Kate: I can’t deal with this anymore. I’ll see you at home, Victor.

She leaves. Vivian laughs.

Vivian: Well, it seems I’ve been replaced. Not a very good replacement, but hey-

Victor grabs her arm.

Victor: You listen to me, Vivian. You stay away from me and my family. You see what happened today? This is not going to happen again! Do I make myself clear?

Vivian: Your forgetting that I’m holding all the cards! I am ready to make your life a living hell, Victor.

She gets up and throws her napkin on the table.

Vivian: You are going to wish you let me out of that sarcophagus when you had the chance!

Bo, Roman, Stefano and EJ are in the living room of the DiMera mansion.

Roman: Well, it was nice seeing the both of you.

Stefano: Always a pleasure. Please, come by more often.

Bo and Roman leave the mansion.

Bo: Damn it. I was sure it would be here.

Roman: I’ve got something else.

Bo: What are you talking about?

Roman goes into his pocket, and takes out a video camera.

Bo: Is that-

Roman: Yup. Now all we have to do is figure out a way to put a virus on every computer, and Sami will be free.

Bo: Good job. Let’s go find Sami.

Inside, Stefano is pouring a drink.

Stefano: Where the hell is this gun?

EJ: Don’t worry about that.

EJ leaves the room.

Philip and Chloe are sitting in the waiting room at the hospital.

Philip: I wish these tests would come faster.

Chloe: Do you think it’s true?

Philip: The first test said Daniel was the father. Why would it be wrong?

Chloe: I don’t know. Who would want to screw around with us like this?

Philip: Damn it!

Chloe: What?

Philip: Vivian.

Chloe: Oh my God. Do you think?

Philip: I swear to God I’ll kill her.

Carly comes into the room.

Carly: The test came back guys.

They get up. Carly hugs Chloe.

Carly: Chloe, I’m so sorry.

Chloe: It’s not your fault. I’ll make sure Daniel doesn’t know that you knew anything.

Carly: Chloe-

Chloe: Carly, don’t worry. You helped me so much. I don’t know what I would have done. But I guess now it doesn’t matter.

They join Daniel and Melanie at the nurses station. Daniel opens the envelope. He reads the test. He throws it on the counter.

Daniel: Congratulations, Philip.

They all look shocked. Melanie runs off, and Daniel follows. Carly looks at Chloe and Philip, and follows Daniel.

Chloe: Oh my God.

Philip hugs her.

Philip: It’s going to be ok.

Melanie and Nathan are outside the Brady Pub. Melanie is crying.

Melanie: I can’t believe this.

Nathan hugs her. Inside, Stephanie gets up from the table. She sees Nathan and Melanie hugging.

Stephanie: See? I knew it.

Sami and Carrie look out the window.

Carrie: He’s just hugging her, it might not mean anything, Stephanie.

Stephanie sits back down.

Stephanie: It always means something with those two. He was never in love with me. He just settled with me because he couldn’t have her.

Sami: Well, what are you going to do now?

Stephanie: Break it off.

Victor and Kate are sitting in the living room of the Kirikas mansion. Henderson comes in the room.

Henderson: Sir, this just came for you.

He hands him a folder.

Victor: Thanks.

Victor opens the folder.

Kate: What is it?

Victor: That snake!

He gets up.

Kate: What the hell is it?

Victor: This bitch is sending me her entire bill from her shopping spree!

Kate: What! Are you serious?

Victor: If she thinks she’s going to get away with this-

Kate: Victor, she can! She has evidence against all of us.

Victor throws the folder on the table.

Victor: I’ll kill her!

Philip and Chloe come into the living room.

Philip: Good, both of you are here.

Kate: What’s wrong?

Philip: We have news.

Happy Holidays!
