Daniel is lying on the couch in his apartment. There is a knock at the door. He gets up, and opens it. Chloe is standing outside.

Daniel: What are you doing here?

Chloe: I came to see if I left one of Parker’s stuffed animals here.

Daniel: There’s nothing here.

Chloe: Oh. Are you sure?

She walks in, and Daniel looks confused.

Melanie and Nathan are sitting in the Brady Pub.

Nathan: So I was pleasantly surprised when you asked to have breakfast with me.

Melanie: Yeah, well-

Nathan: Have you thought about us? Getting back together.

Melanie: Nathan, that’s not why I asked you to meet me.

Nathan: Then why did you?

Philip and Kate are sitting at a table in the Penthouse Grille.

Philip: How’s Carrie doing?

Kate: Not good. She still hasn’t woken up.

Philip: And what the hell was going on with Austin all that time?

Kate: I have no clue. I think he’s lost Carrie.

Philip: Does he even care?

Kate: Philip, don’t say that!

Philip: It’s the truth, mom! He abandons his wife for months, and then finally comes back just as she looses their baby.

Kate: We don’t know what was going on, so just leave it at that. Now what about Operation Chloe?

Philip looks confused.

Philip: What the hell are you talking about?

Kate: What am I talking about? We need to phase that bitch out of you and Parker’s lives!

Daniel and Chloe are standing in Daniel’s apartment.

Daniel: Chloe, I didn’t invite you in.

Chloe: I was looking for his stuffed animal. Don’t you miss this?

Daniel: What?

Chloe: You and me, here.

Daniel: Chloe, don’t do this.

Chloe: Daniel, please just think about this. Let’s have breakfast, and talk about it.

Daniel looks confused.

Daniel: Chloe, we’re not having breakfast? What on earth would make you think that?

Chloe looks offended.

Chloe: I can’t believe you.

There is a knock at the door. Daniel opens it, and Carly is standing outside.

Chloe: What the hell is she doing here!

Daniel: Chloe, it’s time for you to leave.

Chloe: We’ll talk later.

Chloe leaves his apartment.

Carly: What the hell was that about?

Melanie are sitting in the Brady Pub.

Melanie: Nathan, I asked you to meet me because I want to tell you there’s no hope for us.

Nathan: What do you mean? of course there is.

Melanie: Nathan, I’m leaving Salem. I’m going back to France.

Nathan: What? No. Why?

Melanie: I need a break from all this.

Nathan: So your coming back?

Melanie: I don’t know if and when I’ll come back.

Nathan: When do you leave?

Melanie: Next week.

Nathan holds her hand.

Nathan: I’ll always be here for you.

Melanie: Nathan, please don’t waste your life waiting for me. Find someone who will love you.

Melanie gets up, and kisses him on the cheek.

Melanie: I’m sorry.

She leaves the Pub.

Philip and Kate are sitting at a table in the Penthouse Grille.

Philip: Mom, you listen to me, and listen good. Chloe is Parker’s mother. I get that you don’t like that, but that’s the way it is! I am not removing her from my sons life!

Kate: Look at Chloe! She does nothing but damage people’s lives! There’s you, Lucas, Brady, Daniel! Am I missing anyone?

Philip: Drop it, mom.

Kate: No, I am not dropping it! Chloe is a disgusting tramp that does not deserve to be a mother.

Philip gets up, and throws his napkin on the table.

Philip: I’ve had enough of this.

Kate: You sit back down, Philip!

Daniel and Carly are standing in Daniel’s apartment.

Daniel: Chloe seems to think we’re magically going to get back together.

Carly: So, have you decided your not going to get back together?

Daniel: Yes, I have. There is no way I can even look at her the same after what she did.

Carly: I’m so sorry, Daniel.

Carly hugs Daniel.

Philip sits back down at the table, with Kate.

Philip: Can you just forget about this Chloe thing, for my sake? For Parker’s sake.

Kate: I am giving her one chance. She steps out of line once, it’s over!

Philip looks at her, confused.

Philip: What do you mean it’s over? What the hell are you going to do?

Kate: Don’t worry.

Philip: Mom, listen to me! You may have inserted yourself into Lucas’ life, and tried to run every part of it, but it’s not happening with me. If I even suspect you are trying to do something, I will make sure you never see me, and you never see Parker again.

Kate looks at him, disgusted.
