Well Jay i do tend to be the trendsetter around here. I have always known for a while I wanted to do a special episode with the storyline at For The birds. I did not plan for it to be this ep it just kinda happend. There is so much going on at the crazy hosptial I wanted to encompass it all in one ep and I did it here. Now remeber these eps have been posted in two parts lately and I think i will continue that trend for now. It seems to work better for me so far and It wont bog down readers with super 10 or 12 page episodes. \Now beacsue this episode turned out so well I do have another one coming up that I promise you will be a hoot which will featrue the enitre Williams clan at one place,, including a cameo by the leader of the family, Miss Jenkins AKA Madea No good is going to come out of it. LOL Thanks for reading, you seem to be the last one reading I really appreciate it. Everyone else seems to have quit lol

Jasmine walks into Mona's room and sees a top less Apple straddling over Mona. Jasmine "Miss Williams Can I speak with you in the common area?" Mona "Who are you? You want to join us?" Apple "Three sets of tits. How fun." Jasmine "No thank you. We are going to start your counseling today." Apple "I don't like the sound of that. Mona is mine and no one will take her from me." Mona "Apple, relax." She pushes Apple off of her and follows Jasmine to the common area. Apple steps out into the hall way and stares at the two walking off. "Mona belongs to me and no one is going to take her from me. She will be mine forever." She storms back into her room. Jasmine and Mona takes seats in the common area. Mona looks around and sees Dottie sitting in the corner in her rocking chair rocking back and forth staring out the window. Dottie waves at Mona. Mona waves back. Jasmine "Kelis, you're in here because the judge thinks you have some issues from your past that you need to deal with. You committed many crimes. How do you feel about everything now looking back in retrospect?" Mona "Please, don't call me Kelis. That name has a bad omen with it. Kelis is dead. I go by Mona. I need you to call me that.' Jasmine Sure, anything you want." Mona "And how do I feel about anything? Hmm, I don't feel I have accomplished everything that I need to do. I feel like a failure because look at where I am now." Jasmine "What else do you want to accomplish?" Mona "The complete destruction of my mother. Dear, and I will add old, Sister Patterson!" Jasmine "So there is never any hope of forgiving your mother and coming to terms of the things that happened in the past? " Mona "Never!..... Never ever will that happen. Because she was so selfish, she had an affair with my so called real dad which led to my Uncle slash step dad Abe making my mother believe I was dead and he molested me in a secret hideaway and then he tried to kill me when he was done with me. How do you think I am supposed to or forgive that? Never! Not on your life. I will never let this go. I am going to make Slutty Patterson suffer as much as I did. Abe knew the whole time that Slutty Paterson and DC were cheating. He knew I was his brother's child. That's why he made the world think I was dead at child birth. It's all Patterson's fault. She couldn't keep her holy legs closed." Jasmine "You know this is not healthy for you." Mona "I am not a dummy. I am a fucked up person I know. I know I have issues. But who can blame me. I didn't ask for any of this. I don't know how to love properly. I don't know how to trust. I don't know how to be good. I like to be bad. When I am bad, I feel better and good about myself." Jasmine "At some point this cycle has to stop." Mona "No it doesn't and it won't. I may be in this nut house now. But rest assured I'm not done with the resident's of Pasadena yet. I'm down, but never out." Jasmine "What do you plan on doing?" Mona "I'm working on a couple of things. It's going to be big. You shouldn't expect anything less from me. The Lady in Black will return one day." Jasmine "Ok it was nice meeting Mona, and I look forward to our next discussion tomorrow." Mona "Whateva" She gets up and walk back to her where Apple awaits her. Jasmine then walks into Lynn's room. She sees Lynn is sitting in her wheel chair staring at the wall. Lynn is saying 4 words continously "Die slut whore bitch…..Die slut whore bitch…….Die slut whore bitch!" Jasmine takes a seat next to Lynn. Jasmine "Hello, I'm Ms. Winters. I'm your new therapist." Lynn looks at her "Nice to meet you. Don't mind me. I'm just doing a little talking to myself. This place will make you do that." Jasmine "I see. Why are you in here Lynn?" Lynn "Oh Ms. Winters. It was all so horrible. All so long ago. That slut whore bitch that is going to die because I am going to kill her, Sister Patterson. She had an affair with my husband and had three kids with him. To make it even worse the man she was married to was my husband's brother. She parades herself around here like she is a saint. She is just a phony and I am going to put a stop to all of it. I had a nervous breakdown when I found out that slut whore bitch had sex with my husband and produced three kids out of wedlock. I was at home taking care of our boys. Keeping the house going. While he was out there, being a hoe. That's why I'm in here. I've been in here for so long. All they do is drug me in here. Please Ms. Winters. I want to get better. I want my life back. I want to get out of here." Jasmine "The first step in doing that is letting what happened in the past not consume you. If you hold on to the past their will be no future." Lynn "So that would mean I would have to let my hate go for that slut whore Bitch?" Jasmine "Yes." Lynn Ha! Never. Never!...Never!.... Never! I am going to kill that slut whore bitch dead. I'm going to kill her dead. These security doors they have in this place will not stop me. I am going to wrap my hands around her neck and squeeze the life out of her. I have thought about this for many years. Killing that bitch! That's exactly what I am going to do. My son doesn't like when I talk like this. Please don't tell him." Jasmine "I won't. What we say remains confidential." Lynn "Ok please don't drug me. That's all they want to do is drug me." Jasmine "I am not going to drug you." Lynn "Thank you for being so kind to me. I just want you to know that I am not crazy anymore. I just want to kill the woman who ruined my life. Who wouldn't want to do that?" Jasmine "Don't you think there are other ways to deal with your issues with Miss Patterson?" Lynn "No. Absolutely not. I can't think of a better way than dead. That's when I will feel better and be at peace. Once Sister Patterson is DEAD! And I will make it happen." Jasmine "I think you need some community time. Follow me." Lynn, thinking to herself "Good now I can find Sister Patterson and kill her." In the community area Jasmine sits down next to Dottie. Jasmine "Hello Dottie, how are you?" Dottie "Dottie is doing ok. Just one of those days you know." Jasmine "I know." Dottie "There's a new woman in here. She wanted me to put on my boots and go to war with her." Jasmine "War? A new woman you say? Tell me about her?" Dottie "She was very loud. She was all up in my face and I didn't appreciate it. She was trying to tell me what to do. All she kept saying was something about there is evil here and she can sense it. Something about a third eye." Lynn lets a holler out but calms back down so she won't get drugged again. Dottie "Are you ok? OH MY GOD WAIT!" Lynn "What's the matter? What's going on Dottie?" Dottie "Did you hear that?" Lynn "No, is it nurse Maxine coming over to drug me again?" Dottie "No! She just said fu(k you to me! Fu(k you to you whore!" Lynn "That's I feel Dottie. Fu(k that slut whore bitch. I'm going to kill her dead." Dottie "Let me help. I don't want her to boss me around any longer and I want no part of a war." Lynn "I am so happy to hear that you are going to help me kill Sister Patterson. That slut whore bitch. Death to Sister Patterson!"

Salem University Hospital John sits inside of his hospital room, continuing to recover and get better. All of his children are with him as a new day rises in Salem. John is now more coherent and able. John I don't understand. Why can't I see Marlena? Carrie I...like I said...you'll know everything soon. All of John's children look at each other. Eric motions for some of them to step outside with him; Rex, Carrie, and Belle get up while Sami and Cassie decide to stay inside. Eric Okay, I know that he just woke up, and we don't want to drop all of this on him, but I don't see how we can hold off for much longer. He needs to know that Mom's gone. Belle I know, but I don't want to send him into shock. He was in this catatonic state for such a long time; how do we know that this won't cause a relapse? Rex John's recovering fast. He's a fighter, and this is going to be devastating, but I think it'll be ok. He'll be upset, but he won't relapse. Carrie I don't know. It's a risk, but we can't keep him in the dark forever. He won't stop asking for Marlena. Are you sure we shouldn't wait? Eric We're already waiting. The quicker we get this over with, the quicker John can get over Mom's death. I think we'll all feel better. Carrie, looking at Belle You were the one that was raised by him your entire life. You probably know him better than we do. What do you think? Belle Maybe Eric and Rex are right. I don't want him to relapse, but this is hard for all of us, and he'd want to know. Maybe we should tell him. Eric Okay. Let's do it. All of them nod and walk back into the hospital room; Belle nods at Cassie and Sami to let them know what is going on. Belle Okay, Dad, we're going to tell you what happened to Mom. John What do you mean? Carrie Marlena...isn't here. Sami She hasn't been for a while. John What are you talking about? Just tell me where my wife is. Eric Mom got shot. It's been a long time since it happened, and...she didn't make it. She was declared dead at the scene; I'm sorry you have to find out about this. Especially after you just woke up, but it's true. John is stunned. He is silent for a moment, and all of his children watch in anticipation; a thick tension can be felt in the room. John simply reels from this revelation, letting a few tears fall. However, even in his weakened state, he tries to be strong. John Who shot her? Rex Some psycho named Stan. He did a lot of bad things, and was just unstable. Cassie, looking at Sami Supposedly. Sami Shut up, Cassie! Carrie glares at them both, and the sisters shut up. Belle I'm so sorry, Dad. I know she was the love of your life, and she'd want you to stay strong. She'd want you to recover; she's watching over us, pushing you to survive this. I know you can. John Marlena is dead. My wife is dead; I've been through this before, but this time, I wasn't there. I should've been there....I should've protected her... Carrie, leaning in to hug John There's nothing anyone could have done. It was so quick. John, continuing to cry No, that's not true! I was trapped in this state because I wasn't strong enough to survive some gunshot. Maybe I could've stopped this man, but I didn't. And because of that, Marlena is dead. Sami That's not true! John, sighing I can't believe it. I'm never going to see her wake up beside me in bed again; I'm never going to see her walk down the stairs with that smile on her face. I'll never make love to her again. She and I will never have another huge fight that will end with us being more in love than before. Marlena's gone; the love of my life is dead. Episode#457: Written by: Tara Smith and ML Cooks Salem Jail Robin is in the holdng area of the Salem Jail, about to be booked on charges for repeatedly attempting to frame Laura. She is all alone as the police make the final arrangements, and she thinks on the events of the past couple of days; she wasn't able to bring Laura down. She didn't hold up her deal with Vivian. Most importantly, her son hasn't bothered to come to see her since the trial. She hears the door open. Robin Please tell me that's you, Jeremy. Mike No, sorry, it's not. Robin, turning to face her ex Oh, Mike. Come to gloat in my face? Mike Not at all, Robin. You know that I'm better than that, or at least I thought you did. I'm not sure if I know who you are. Robin Sounds like the thoughts I've had about you for years. Mike Robin, I'm sorry; I really am. I was never the best father to Jeremy, even when I tried to be. And I know I've had a lot of...entanglements with women over the years. What I don't understand is why you didn't just tell me about all of your feelings, instead of becoming bitter like this. Do you see the mess that you've created? Jeremy hates both of us now; at least he had you before you went off trying to make my mother look crazy. Robin For what it's worth, I am sorry. Mike How can I believe that? You were going to send her to a mental institution and all of a sudden you're sorry? Robin It's not like that. I've had a lot of time to think, Mike; letting all of that out in court did me more help than I thought it would. I...don't like Laura, or Alexis, or April. But I kept taking my anger out on the wrong people. Eventually, it all became too much and things spiraled into hell. I'm not crazy, but I do need some help; maybe some time away in jail will do me some good. Mike, slightly surprised I'm...glad you see it like that. Robin, feeling tears come to her eyes Mike, what kind of parents have we been? We have a wonderful son, and we've both driven him mad. We've let our personal lives bleed into his life so much; you slept with his girlfriend. I told him his grandmother was crazy. We're not those kind of people. Mike, nodding sadly I know. I've been trying to repair my relationship with him ever since I came back to Salem, but as always, it's just gotten worse. I'm not giving up, though. He's my son, and I love him; I know you do, too. That's one thing that I'm sure of about you. We've both made so many mistakes. Maybe it's time that we stop. Robin Something we can agree on. Finally. You know, three or four days ago I would have balked at the thought of asking you this, but...please watch over him. He's really the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Mike is very touched by this; he would never have thought that the Robin of today would ask him to do that. He can slowly see the Robin he knew and loved returning. Mike I will try, Robin. I promise. I don't know if I can ever make up any pain that I put you through, but hopefully I can make it up to our son. Robin You know, Mike, I still remember all the good times. I know it seems like I only remember the bad times, but I remember everything before that. Falling in love with you...making love to you for the first time. You practically talked me through it; you asked me to marry you right after that. I remember those days, and they were some of the best of my life. Mike, smiling This is a complete 180 from yesterday morning. Robin Like I said, I've had a lot of time to think. And those memories were always there in the back of my mind; it was what kept me attached to you. Mike I loved you so much, Robin. I really did. Robin But I guess that's all gone now, isn't it? We're going to go away remembering each other as evil people who never stopped hurting each other. Mike It's hard not to, but we don't have to. When we walk out of here, we can remember the relationship we used to have; the people we used to be with each other. We can remember the good times; not the bad. Robin I hope so. Mike and Robin simply look at each other, without any words; they look into their eyes and see the people that they fell in love with. They don't see the people that they grew to argue with constantly, but they see the good, genuine people that they were. A guard enters. Guard It's time to go, Dr. Jacobs. Robin Well, I guess it's time to get ready for a life behind bars; I know this seems insane to say after how I yelled at you yesterday and have treated you ever since I came back to Salem, but I think I'll miss you. Mike smiles and nods, and he actually leans in and hugs his ex one last time. Both shed a few more tears as they say goodbye. Robin By the way, before I go, there is something you should know. Mike What is it? Robin A day or two before the trial, Vivian Alamain hired me to sabatoge your family. She wanted Laura to get locked up in a padded cell for life; I was planning on doing it anyway, so I said yes, but it was strange. I don't know why, but it sounded like she wanted to come after your family. Watch out for her, Mike. Mike, narrowing his eyes I'll do that. Thank you. Robin heads for the door, and shares one last look with Mike, before walking out with the door. He crosses his arms and sighs. Mike Goodbye, Robin. Cheatin' Heart Jeremy is at the bar at the Cheatin' Heart, having a bottle of beer. He sits, continuing to think over how his mother lied to him over and over; she tried to make his grandmother look insane. And he fell for it. The bar is mostly empty, as it is the middle of the day. However, someone enters, and Jeremy looks up to see Nicole Walker. Nicole And here I thought I was the only one who liked a drink this early. Jeremy Who are you? You look familiar. Nicole, taking a seat and ordering her drink Nicole Baines, but Nicole Walker would probably ring a bell. Jeremy Jeremy Horton. Nicole You know, for all the saintly Hortons around, a lot of them sure are alcoholics. Maggie, Lucas, Hope. Now you. Jeremy I'm not an alcoholic, but after the hell I've been through, anyone would be driven to drink. Nicole I know what you mean; I've always liked my booze, but lately, I've been drinking even more. Jeremy doesn't say anything, and both sit in silence for a moment, drinking. Finally, Nicole speaks again. Nicole Okay, you first. What happened? Jeremy Why would you care? Nicole Listen, I am a widow who has no where to be. No job, no friends, barely any family. I have nothing else to do, so why don't we swap stories about our crappy lives? Jeremy Fine. What do I have to lose at this point? See, first I get this great girlfriend; I take her out on nice dates and really am into her. Then, after we've only been going out for a few months, I find out she slept with my dad, who I had a crappy relationship with anyway. So my mom comes back to town, and acts like she's so protective of me and loves me so much. Then, she sets my grandma up to look crazy, and is totally okay with lying to me about it, no matter how much I grill her; then, my dad's new fling gets her to break down on the stand and admit that all of the [!@#$%^&*] she pulled was because she still carried a torch for my dad but hated him or something. So both of my parents are morons. Nicole Ouch. I know how it feels to have a mom who says she cares about you, but is really bad at showing it. It makes it so easy to shove them out of your life and forget about them. Jeremy You know, why are all women such liars? All they do is betray you and say they care, but they sleep with your dad. They try to destroy your family. I've got another girlfriend now, but I don't even know what to think any more. Not after this. Nicole Okay, I've told some...lies in my lifetime. I've made a lot of mistakes, but it's not just a woman thing. Men lie too. Jeremy Yeah, my dad sure as hell isn't innocent in any of this. Nicole Men can be just as much of a pain in the ass as women can be; I've gone through a lot, and every relationship fell apart. The guy usually loved another woman more than me. Then, I finally found the one man that loved me for me. I didn't know him for that long, but we were happy right off the bat; there was never another woman. Never any doubt...we fell in love and spent several months being so happy. We got married and were celebrating when it all fell apart; a psycho killed him. He got poisoned on our wedding night. Jeremy Damn. That sounds bad. Nicole It was. It still is, because it still hurts. I'm still trying to get over that; that bitch who killed him was just trying to get back at me. She got killed recently, and damnit, I'm glad. Do you know what hell that woman put me through? Sure, she and I fought over Eric a lot, and I did blackmail her out of town, but she's done worse to me. She locked me in some secret room, shot me and left me for dead, and then killed my husband. Jeremy Who was she? Nicole Greta Von Amberg. Some princess; she used to actually be...ehh...sane. Always a big ass pain, but she had a functioning mind. Then she got rabies, and do you know what was bad about that? It was some miracle form of rabies; she survived for MONTHS after getting rabies! Rabies! It made her go crazy, but didn't kill her. Just my luck. At least she's dead now. Jeremy That's the woman that stabbed Alexis. Alexis was right about my mom, but that doesn't mean I forgive her for what she did, either. She's been pining for me for such a long time, but I don't want to take her back. I don't know what I want or who I trust any more; it's too confusing at this point. Nicole Yeah, that's kind of how my life is too. No one to trust. You know what? I'm sick of sitting at this bar; let's go get something to eat. We don't have anyone else to see, right? Jeremy You know what? Sure. Let's go. Jeremy and Nicole get up from the bar and leave together. Salem Place Apartments Sami is inside her apartment after coming home from the hospital, and Will and Destiny are both at school; she is alone with her granddaughter, Arianna. After making the baby's bottle, she sits down and holds Arianna, letting her drink the milk. Sami It was really hard telling your great-grandpa today about your great-grandma, but I am glad we did. Now he knows, and he can let it sink in and move past it...you'll get to meet him real soon, okay? He's recovering fast; I know you'll love him. I...well I haven't always, but he is my...father. I have to forget the past. Sami looks down at her beautiful granddaughter, smiling at her. She can see so much of Will in her; so much of herself in her. Sami You're so little, and you still look like so many people in our family. I don't know what your mommy looked like, but I see a lot of your daddy in you. A lot of me in you, and a lot of your grandpa, too. Sami sighs, thinking of Lucas. Will had told her about him going to jail for murdering Greta. Sami I'm...sorry you won't really get to know him. Lucas and I never worked out, but he was a great guy, you know? A great dad. I really did love him in my own way. How he ended up falling in love with people like Jan Spears and Eugenia Willens, I'll never know. And I know that it sounds bad that he went to jail for murder, but he was protecting his family from a lunatic; he did the right thing. Not like your other grandma, who killed someone in cold blood and deserves to rot for it. It's totally different...I hope he'll get out someday and be able to watch you grow up. Talking about Lucas leads to Sami thinking about her past, and all of the mistakes she made. Sami I had your daddy when I was young, too. I guess he was kind of...taking after his mom in some ways. And I never was the best mom to your daddy, either; I let my schemes and desires get in the way of being a good mother. I was so young and blind, but I always loved him. From the day he was born, I loved him more than anything else in the world, even people like Austin and Lucas. And it's the same way with you and him, Arianna; you are so much more important to him than anything else. Even....what's-her-face. That girl he's dating. The girl who I am very graciously letting stay here, in my home; she better be good to him. Sami smiles again at her granddaughter. Sami I'm going to make up for my mistakes now; it's time. I'm going to lead my family on; all you and Will have now is me. With Lucas gone, it's even more important that I step up. I'm going to be a great mom, and an even better grandma. I promise. Sami looks up to the ceiling. Sami Mom, I know you're up there watching down on all of us...watching down on John. Watching down on me. Please give me the strength to be strong for my family, like you were for yours. Later in the evening, at Chez Rouge As nightfall begins in the town of Salem, many of the Hortons are gathering at Maggie's resteraunt for a party to celebrate Laura's newfound freedom. Maggie and Abe are inside with Laura as everything is being set up. Abe It is so good to see you out of jail, Laura. Now you're back where you belong. Laura, smiling Thank you so much, Abe. It feels so good to be out in the world again and out of that horrible cell. Finally, everyone knows that I'm not crazy, and Robin got her comeuppance. We can move on. Thank you for throwing me this party, Maggie. Maggie Something this big should be celebrated! Almost all of our family and dearest friends will be here to celebrate you being set free. Laura, frowning Except Jeremy. I am so worried for him. He rushed out of the courtroom yesterday and we haven't heard from him since. Abe Jeremy just needs some time to himself; he's a smart young man. This has to be devastating to him; he finds out that his mother has been lying to him this entire time. It would be hard for anyone to get past this. Laura I know. No matter how much I hate Robin, she is Jeremy's mother, and he really loved her. Both Alexis and Robin lied to him; it's all caving in on him. I trust my grandson, but I don't want him to do anything drastic. Maggie We know Jeremy; I am worried, too, and we need to find him, but right now, we just need to celebrate. He's an adult; he can take care of himself. Tonight is about you, Laura. Mike and April walk in through the front doors. They immediately approach Maggie, Abe, and Laura. Laura Michael, you look...concerned. Is it Jeremy? Mike Yes, I'm worried about my son, and we need to find him. But that's not all. It's about Vivian. Maggie Oh no. Laura What has that ruthless bitch done now? Mike I said goodbye to Robin today; she's been taken to prison. But before she left, she told me that before your trial started, Vivian hired Robin to make sure that you were committed again. She wanted her to distract the Horton family and get you out of the way; I don't know why, but it worries me. Why is Vivian after us? I mean, Mom, this is insane. She took the hospital from us and now she wants you in a mental hospital? Maggie and Abe are stunned, but Laura is not. She simply stands strong. Laura Remember the letter I sent to Vivian after I found out that she took the hospital from us? I told her that once I got out, I was coming for her, and I still plan to do that. This shows that Vivian sees our family as a threat, and in my opinion, that's good. I'm not happy that she hired Robin to do her dirty work, but it only makes me more determined. Robin has fallen down and Vivian is next. April Laura, please, I know that Vivian's done a lot to your family lately, but I just got you out of one mess. Don't get into another so quickly. Maggie April's right, Laura. I am angry at Vivian too; she's terrorizing Salem. But we have to be careful. We can't stoop to her level. Laura I refuse to sit back and watch Vivian destroy everything that every good hearted person in Salem holds dear. Vivian took OUR hospital from us! That hospital has become Tom and Alice's legacy. Michael, you were a brilliant chief of staff! The best that it had in years! I refuse to let a tyrant get away with just snatching it away from our family like that; we are the Hortons. We are good people. Vivian tried to put me right back into the place that she busted me out of. She was willing to let me go down for something I didn't do JUST so she could keep her reign strong! Most of that was Robin's fault, yes, but Vivian took advantage of Robin's lies. Robin is getting punished for it, and so will Vivian. Mark my words. Abe Laura, calm down; tonight isn't about Vivian. It's about you and your happiness, like we said. Let's save this for tomorrow. Mike I think I agree, Mom. Laura Maybe you're right, but this problem can't wait for too long. Outside of Chez Rouge, Bill walks up to the entrance, and hears someone approaching from behind. He turns around, and is taken off guard by the sight of his ex-lover, Kate! Kate Bill...I heard you were back in town. I still can't believe it, though. It's been so long. Bill Well, Kate, you are a sight for sore eyes. You're still as beautiful as ever. Kate smiles, staring at Bill. She remembers their affair and all of the craziness that spawned because of it, but she also remembers that he was one of the very few men that actually loved her. Kate Thank you, Bill. I didn't expect you to be so kind to me. Bill The past is the past, and we share a son together. I know that things can get awkward, but for Lucas' sake, I can't let them get too awkward. I'm just disappointed that my son goes to jail when I finally return to Salem. Kate, frowning How is Lucas? Do you know? Bill I have visited him, and he's doing well. He's worried for his family, as any man should be, but he's holding up. Why haven't you been to see him? Kate Lucas...Lucas and I aren't exactly on speaking terms. Bill, shocked What? He's much closer to you than he is me. Kate I've done a lot of bad things, Bill. I did something that I really shouldn't have. Bill I heard about Peter Blake, if that's what you're talking about. Kate nods. Bill walks over to Kate and puts his hands comfortingly on her shoulders. Bill I'm not saying what you did was justified, but we all make mistakes. You know about mine better than anyone. Lucas will come around eventually. Kate, tearing up slightly He's such a good man, Bill. He's grown into such a wonderful, family man. He is so strong; he killed Greta because he was protecting his family. Protecting a baby that wasn't even his own. He's turned out so much like you, and it's a lot better than turning out like me. Bill I think Lucas turned out better than either of us put together. Kate Would...would you mind if I came inside? I know this party is for Laura, but I came to see you, and...I don't know, it would just be nice. Bill What would Laura think about that? Kate Laura and I are not friends. I don't think we are even on good terms, but I did comfort her one night after Robin accused her of trying to kill her. I'd hope that would at least warrant us being civil for one good night. Bill nods, and both he and Kate enter. Laura watches from the other end of the room, shocked and frustrated that Bill and his ex-mistress walked inside together. Laura, taking a deep breath I have bigger things to worry about right now...I still don't like Kate, even if she did give me a pep talk, but I will let her be here. Just because of that. She doesn't have any bearing on my life any more. Mike is at the drink table, pouring himself some punch. Kate walks over and pours herself some. Kate Hello, Mike. Mike Kate. Talk about the last person I expected to see here. Kate Well, I wanted to see your father, because of what is going on with Lucas right now. And...I think Laura and I can be civil for one night. Mike That's good; the last thing any of us need is more drama. How are you? Kate For what it's worth, things are going well; the good news is that my lawyers have mostly worked through the charges for Peter's murder. It looks like I'm going to get off for it. Mike, chuckling I'm sorry; I'm really happy to hear that, actually. It just amazes me how people who actually orchestrate murders can get off so much easier than the ones who are framed. Kate Oh, I apologize. I didn't think of...oh, nevermind. Mike It's alright, really. I think you are a good woman, Kate. You did a lot to my parents, but I think you are a good woman. Kate, impressed Thank you. I'm surprised to hear that; I really do regret Peter's death. I should never have tried to kill Tony. Mike We all have times of weakness. I've never done something that bad, but I still have no place to condemn anyone. Kate Thank you. You really shouldn't be this kind to me. Mike, smiling It's alright. Other than that, how are you? Kate I don't even know; one son is out of jail, and another is in. It is horrible for a mother to go through that. I just want Lucas to survive this. And my business just got taken from me. Mike Let me guess. Vivian Alamain? Kate, rolling her eyes Who else? Mike She took the hospital from the Hortons. She's on a rampage and needs to be stopped. Kate Agreed. Absolutely. Mike And give Lucas my best. He and I haven't talked much, but he is still my brother, and I care about him. I need to visit him myself soon, but there is so much going on. I'm worried about my own son; he just found out that his mother is a liar, and his relationship with me has never been good. I don't even know where he is now. Kate I hope everything is alright. When you are a parent and you love your children so much, but you end up doing them more harm than good...it is never a good feeling. Mike Then they won't listen to you, no matter how much you beg them to. They just keep ignoring you. Kate And all you want is for them to believe you. Believe that you regret your mistakes; believe that you are so sorry and want to improve. Mike Exactly. Mike and Kate look at each other for a moment; it is a look of hurt between two people that just wish their children would forgive and accept them. They are glad to finally find someone that fully understands their problems and wrong-doings. As they look at each other, April approaches from the other end of the room, but stops when she sees their look. She doesn't even know who Kate is, but she sighs. April Here we go again. Bo and Hope enter Chez Rouge, and both walk over to Laura, Maggie, and Abe. Maggie Bo, Hope, it's so good to see you two! How is Bentley? Hope He's doing great, Aunt Maggie. He'll be able to come to his new home soon, and we're in the process of adopting him. We made it clear to Jan that she's out of his life. Laura That is fantastic! There is a lot to celebrate right now. Bo There sure is; we are finally getting involved in our grandson's life. The way we should have been from the start. Maggie Well, this isn't about the past; it's about the present and the future. Bo Congratulations on being set free, Laura. We were really happy to find out that justice had been served. Trust me, Robin is going away for a long time. Laura Thank you, Bo. I am so much more relieved with that out of my hair. There are still some things on my mind, but the big problem is gone now. Bo glances around to see Kristen enter Chez Rouge! He is stunned, and she looks in his direction. He knows that she has come here to try to win him back. Abe also spots Kristen, and he wheels away from the ladies, motioning for Bo to follow him. Abe What is Kristen doing here, Bo? She and Laura have never really been good friends. Bo, sighing I know why she's here. I ended my affair with her yesterday; I'm determined to get my life back on track. Get my family stable, and that starts with stabilizing my marriage. Megan's out of my life, and so is Kristen. I...think Kristen is a great person, but we can be nothing more than two people investigating a murder. Abe I am glad to hear that, if you're sure that it's what you want. Bo What do you mean? Abe If you are sure that your attraction to Kristen is that small. Because if it's big, you will end up going back to her. Bo You know me. Hope is my soulmate, and I love her more than anything else in the world. She, my daughters, and my grandson are all important to me. Much more important than Kristen. Abe That is good, especially for Hope's sake. It is never fun to get cheated on; I know that first hand. But getting rid of a DiMera is hard work. Look at how hard it was to get Megan out of your hair. And we all know Kristen's history with John. Bo I know. I need to go get rid of her. Bo walks away from Abe, and heads in Kristen's direction. Hope turns her head and sees him going to talk to her, she turns away but sighs, wondering if something is going on between her husband and Kristen. Bo Kristen, what are you doing here? This is a party to celebrate Laura's freedom. Kristen I had to see you; I couldn't let you storm out like that, Bo. I don't want to sound psychotic, but I can't let you go. I tried to stay away at first, but then this affair started and...I don't know. I'm not willing to give it up. Hope is a good woman; a wonderful woman, and she does need you, but so do I. I just...I just want you to re-consider. Bo Kristen, I'm sorry. I understand your feelings, but we can't continue this affair. It's over. Kristen shakes her head, uncertain on where to go from here with Bo; she understands his obligations, but can't think of letting him go again. She did once, but she's not willing to again. The connection between the two is far too strong to just forget it. At the front door, Andre, Valentine, and Nicholas all enter. Valentine I cannot believe we're resorting to dining with the Horton family of all people! Andre Please, Valentine. It's a chance for a free meal, and with how you've been acting lately, you have no right in choosing where we eat. You are lucky I'm eating with you at all. Nicholas Besides, it's a chance to scope out anyone and everyone that could help with Vivian. This place is swarming with her enemies; that's why I decided to come. It's an opportunity. Valentine, sighing I suppose. I'm sick of my older sister being the center of attention of everything. Andre Once she's gone, she won't be. The three go to get some drinks, and next, Celeste enters. She walks over to Laura, Hope, and Maggie. Laura Hi, Celeste. Celeste Hello, dahlings; thank you for inviting me. I know I am not exactly your friend, but I'm honored. Maggie Oh, please, Celeste, you've been a friend of all of us for years. Of course we'd invite you! Laura Maggie's absolutely right. Laura looks around at the array of guests that are at this party; she sees Kate, Andre, Valentine, Nicholas, Kristen. Laura You are one of the few people here that I can actually call my friend. Celeste Yes, dahling, it seems like an interesting guest list. Suddenly, the front doors fly open once again when none other than Vivian barges in! Hope And the most interesting one has just arrived. Everyone is shocked to see Vivian there, who just grins. Vivian Evening, everybody. Let's get this party started, shall we?

For The Birds mental Rehabilitation Centre Sister Patterson, who is not wearing a straight jacket, is in the common area with the rest of the patients in her wing. She sits by Dottie Hinkle who is sitting in a rocking chair rocking by herself looking out the window. Sister Patterson "Hey chile'" Dottie "Hello maam." "I am Sister Patterson."

You don't ever in your forsaken life talk to me like that ever again." Sister Patterson slaps her. Dottie looks at the sister in horror." Dottie "I can't believe you just hit me." Sister "And I can't believe you said such vile words to me. What if Miss Jenkins heard you? What would she say about something like this?" Dottie "Miss Jenkins?" Sister Patterson slaps Dottie again "And another thing. Don't know one; ever ever talk about Miss Jenkins. Oh hear me and hear me now. You will know God. You will be a solider for the Lord. He has given me a third eye which has special powers." Dottie "A lot of people have special powers in here. I like special powers." Sister Patterson "I am the only one that will have special powers. The powers of good are what I have. Well we need to combine ours powers of good and beat the powers of evil. Evil is here my chile'. We have a battle on our hands. We must defeat the forces of evilness and darkness. I am recruiting my army of soldiers. You will be one of them. We are starting with a bible meeting tomorrow when we have community time. You better be there Sister Dottie. We must win this battle." Dottie, standing up and grabbing Patterson's arm "Shh, you hear that?" She says looking around with her big eyes Sister Patterson "No my chile'. Is the devil talking to you?" Dottie "She just said fu (k you to me!" Sister Patterson is about to slap Dottie yet again but she is stopped when someone grabs her arm. She turns around sees it's DC. Sister Patterson then uses her free hand to then slap DC. DC "Don't you ever stop?" Sister Patterson "You keep your nasty sinful hands of me fatty." Sister Patterson "This is going to be a long stay for you in here girl. I told you years ago that something was wrong with you. Now the law believe so too. You are in here for good reason. You are a nutcase with all this Miss Jenkins and Solider for the lord stuff. Who talks like that? A madwoman." Sister Patterson "You're an ex pimp. A fat one at that. A fat pimp. And you have the nerve to talk to me like you are a haven of purity. All you do is eat chicken and have sex with woman." DC "You're not innocent yourself oh saintly one. I am sick and tired of this family disrespecting me. I had no idea you had three of my children, you never told me that. You lied about it for years. Now everyone hates me and for what? Because of your lies? I am trying to turn my life around and put this family back together." Sister Patterson "Family huh? What about you're two sons' with Lynn? You ran out on her. To be a pimp. What do you know about family and the values that come with it?" DC "About as much as you do. You did have an affair on your husband with his brother." Sister Patterson slaps DC again. Orderlies come over and sedate Sister Patterson. Meanwhile DC hears a pounding from the set of doors He looks over and sees Lynn is pounding furiously on the window of the door screaming "I'm going to kill that slut whore Bitch." Orderlies also come over to her and sedate her. DC "Lynn? That looks just like Lynn. Ah naw lord it can't be." DC walks over to that side of the building to see if the woman he saw pounding at the door is indeed his wife, Lynn Whitfield. Episode 131: For the Birds: Special Episode Written by ML Cooks DC is buzzed through the double door and walks over to the receptionist desk. Nurse "Can I help you?" DC "Can you tell me if that woman who was pounding at the door is a Lynn Whitfield?" Nurse "And you are?" DC "If that's Lynn I am her husband." Nurse "I'm not at liberty to disclose that kind of information with you." DC is frustrated. He has to know if the woman he saw was indeed his wife. He decides to walk over to Lynn's room real fast to see if its. He can hear her softly speaking "I am going to kill that slut whore bitch! Sister Patterson is a dead woman." DC "Oh my God. Lynn!" Lynn opens her eyes wide. She screams. The Orderlies orders DC to leave the room as security arrives and kick DC out of the building. DC "Is that how you treat an old man?" He begins to walk to his car and thinks to himself "That was Lynn. What is she doing at the nuthouse and in Pasadena of all places?" Jasmine walks into Sister Patterson room with a notepad. She sees the Sister rocking back and forth on the bed in her straight jacket. Jasmine "Miss Patterson, I'm Ms. Winters." Patterson "We are getting off on the wrong foot." Jasmine "Is that so?" Patterson "Most certainly. First of all and forever more, any time you address thy angel, thy warrior for God, and a solider for my God, you address me as Sister Patterson. Its Sister Patterson to you, you got that!? If I wasn't tied up like a zoo animal I would slap the hot mess out your mouth talking to me like this. You are speaking the words of the devil, this ain't no work of the Lord honey." Jasmine "Oh my. I will try to keep that in mind next time…..Sister Patterson.' Sister Patterson "Now that's more like it my chile. And if you know what's good for you, you will do what I ask as I only does what he asks. Now wait a damn minute. Did you say Winters? Yes I know who you are. You are the sister of that slut. The slut who cheated on my baby Karim. Ria, that nasty ass Bitch." Jasmine "I'm going to ask you respectfully to refrain from speaking about my sister. This is about you Sister Patterson." Sister Patterson "I calls it as I sees it. That's what you have to know about me. I only know how to speak the truth." Jasmine "Sister Patterson, do you think you have a mental problem?" Sister Patterson "I most certainly do not. The devil is out to get me. I will not allow that to happen. There is a war brewing in this hospital and you have to help me Jazzy." Jasmine "It's Ms. Winters." Patterson "I'll call you whatever the hell I want. I am Sister Patterson." Jasmine "You claim you are a child of God, I didn't think one would use the amount of profanity you're using." Sister Patterson "Get out of my way devil. Are you going to help me or not? If you are not going to help, then I have nothing to say to you." Jasmine "Do what? How do you want me to help you?" Sister Patterson "Stop the evil that is approaching. There is a very dark force in this place. I have to form my army. I need to get my troops ready for combat. We have a war to wage. Good vs. Evil. I will not be stopped. I will not be defeated. This devil made straight jacket won't hold me down. My God will give me the strength to break free to fight his battle." Jasmine "Wow. So you have all this worked out?" Sister Patterson "Just about. You see that's where you come in. I need my weapons of prayer and good. You have to get them for me chile." Jasmine "And those would consist of what?" Sister Patterson "I need you to get me the weapons of mass holiness. Holy waters, crosses, bibles, pens, paper, and bring my Sunday dress. " Jasmine "Pens, paper, and your Sunday dress?" She chuckles "Ok Sister Patterson, I think this session is over. I will be back tomorrow." Sister Patterson "What you talking? Are you going to get my tools of mass holiness?" Jasmine "Good day Miss Patterson" Sister Patterson lets out a growl. "You're going to pay for this. You're probably just a slut like your nasty ass sister. I am Sister Patterson and no one will stop me damn it. Evil must and will be stopped." Stay Tuned for Part 2

Music to my ears, I can now breath a sigh of relief. WHEW Kuz Im teling you it was getting crucial

I hope we ee lot's of drama and a small cast. have you started writing epiodes yet? If so how does it feel writing for a much smaller cast compared to that beast of a monster FTL?

Dont worry Ill be reading. I will say again I really encourage you to try to cut back on characters and storylines . You will find your stories will become much stronger

And thats why I am so blessed I am not saddled with these kind of Issues at STEAM

A much better episode. it seems FTL is bi Polar.. Great indeed. many more storylines I identify with in this ep. The only bad thing is I see it was a whole nother set of storylines which leads to me to ask you how many do you have going right now? I so loved the scene with Dinah and Annie. I hope Annie gets out. I wonder If she will keep quiet about Di's secret. I see that Liz is letting this talk show consume her. She better before kuz it seems she may be at risk of losing the ones she loves. WOW SPENCER doing that teen pass out thing. I AM VERY ALARMED> ANd it looks like u are going to bring that social issue to light and if so I commend you for it. Really brings a contemporary feel to a show as old as GL is. THis is a sick issue and it's nice to see it brought out. When i first it I was sick to my stomach. Now I am thinking, why didn't I do something like this at LIS as I get a good set of teens over there. I must say we saw the sexxi side of FTL in this ep So why did Kevin even go back to the house and what gifts did he get the people at the house. Good ep jay some weaker stories still in this ep or I should say some that I am not into. Are these new teens jude and whats that kids name new people or what? It was a very well written scene. i could picture all the action in my head. Just wow again at this Spencer mess. She is my new fav for sure.

Cute episode. But man i must say it was a [!@#$%^&*] load of people in this ep. I really encourage you to focus on less charatcers per ep. maybe its because I dont know Gl all like that, I don't know. It feels like I have backtracked from the movie. Like we were on a great roll but here we are again to me not understainding half of whats was going on. I don't know who or what to root for Not a lot of drama in this ep either. But I understand it's a holiday. But damn couldn't some one have gotten drunk or something and said some funny stuff?lol

Now why is kevin such aan angry young gay man?<BR><BR>I really felt sorry for Spencer. I know exactly what she is saying Great job with that scene<BR><BR>I had to laugh at Liz' reality show as her counter part Abby on Y&amp;R is doing the same thing.<BR><BR>Good ep

Wow Edmund is not to mad at marah. I wonder what he got planned for the lewis's OH god I hope Ashlee is not going through her disorder again. just ride ur bike girl and drink water. Belinda is bad to the bone. Like Susan jr. So Rocky and Kevin r back to gether? Good.I fell bad for kevin and a shame Rocky didnt stand by his man. Good episode jay

The Jump Off Natalia walks into the club looking for Bryan. She calls out for him. He walks out from his office with a drink in his hand. Bryan "What do you want Natalia?" Natalia "You big daddy." She walks over to him and plants a kiss on him. He brushes her off. Bryan "Stop with all that." Natalia "I'd figure you'd be all over me since you're not getting any. At least not from Sabryn. She's locked up." Bryan "And you just love that fact don't you." Natalia "In fact I do. I'm not going to lie about it." Bryan "Why are you here? Where is my son? Shouldn't you be with him?" Natalia "This is about our son. That's why I am here. Ria is watching Mark Jr." Bryan "I told you about calling my son that. I am not having it." Natalia "You'll have whatever I say you will have. I hold the cards here." Bryan "I don't like the face that freaky Ria is watching our son. She's probably teaching him how to make love. You are not making good decisions so far as a mother." Natalia "You're funny. Listen, I have a proposition for you." Bryan "It better not include any sex. I'm not in the mood." Natalia "On your own Bryan, you would not be able to obtain full custody of my son. I'll see to that. I already have a plan in place. If Sabryn gets out of prison, she's coming straight to you and will get full custody of her son. You don't stand to win much here. But together, you and I... we could have all your sons under one roof. Sabryn wouldn't be able to touch us if we came together. Think about it Bryan. You don't have many options." She walks up to him again and this time grabs his crotch. She kisses him and then blows in his ear. Natalia can feel Bryan is getting excited. She looks into his eyes "Give in to me Bryan. I want you. I can give you what you need. You'll never get Sabryn back. Give it to me." She unzips his pants and pulls down his briefs. She begins to stroke his hard penis. She kisses him while whispering," Give it to me daddy. Make me feel good. "Bryan gives into to Natalia's seductive seduction and kisses her passionately. Natalia pulls back and drops her trench coat to reveal her naked body. Bryan walks over to her and grabs her and kisses her passionlessly once more. He lifts her onto a pool table and inserts his love into Natalia. Rufus enters an Internet Café to check his inbox at Adam4Adam to see if his new friend, OnTheDL has responded back. He sits at a computer and signs into his account. Rufus smiles as he sees his friend has responded to him. She reads the message "Ok Like I said, discretion is a must. And I must warn you, I'm kind of new to this. I mean I've played around before. But I would like to try some new things. Take it to the next level. If, that's cool with you then I'll meet you at The Blue Note, Friday at let's say sixish. I'll be wearing a white suite with baby blue undertones. " Rufus smiles as she thinks of how exciting this could be. She responds "I'm not looking to be a teacher. But I suppose we could try some things depending on the chemistry. It has to be right. I'm a lady. You'll have to put in some work to get some of this. I'll see you at 6ish at the Blue Note. Here's my number, text me when you arrive. I look forward in meeting with you." She sends the message. Rufus exit's the café excited she has a date. She thinks to herself, "finally some action". Now I need some money. And I know just how to get it. Alexis, it's time we have a discussion." Downtown Pasadena, Ivory Inc. DC walks into Karim's office and is stunned to see Karim sitting in his chair drinking a bottle of whiskey. DC can also see the office has not been cleaned up since the catfight with Ladonna, Ria and Alexis. DC "Is this how you run a stagnating cooperation?" Karim "Who are you to be asking me about my running of my own business? Where is your degree from?" DC "The streets of Cleveland University. I know a thing or two about making money." Karim "Pimpin' women out?" DC "Indeed my son." Karim "Don't ever call me that. You are not worthy enough to have that kind of title. I am ashamed of you." DC "I am getting real tired of you talking to me like this. I have been the one holding this company together since you had your accident and while you were going through dramas in your personal life." Karim "So you want a Nobel Prize for it or what?" DC "How about some appreciation round here damnit! I am trying to reach out to you son. We need to heal our family. This family has been ripped to shreds." Karim "That's no fault of mine. It's because you and Sister Patterson were selfish and had an affair which lead to all of this. From Mona to Kevin and everything in between. You two have ripped this family apart and it's going to be a cold day in hell before I ever let you into my life. Your scum now get out of my office. I don't know how you even got a job here anyway." DC "Maybe if you quit drinking on the job you would know how I got this job. You need to look at the numbers. Not only have I stopped the bleeding of this company during the recession, we have shown slight growth over year over year numbers. I did that. Your father. I demand some respect." Karim "You'll get respect when hell freezes over now get the hell out of here!" DC "One more thing yougen, you're so busy drinking on the job, don't you know all you're lovers got into a little scuffle right here in this office. Ria and Ladonna jumped that young bunny you used to mess with." Karim "Alexis?" DC "Is that what you call her? And one more thing, your mother has been locked up at the nut house." DC then leaves the office. Karim is stunned at these latest events surrounding his family. He heads to the hospital. Huntington Memorial Hospital. Lauren walks into Kiko's office. Lauren "The nurse tells me you have news on my baby Dr. Whitfield?" Kiko "I do Lauren. If I'm not mistaken, you said you were drinking heavily early in you pregnancy?" Lauren "Unfortunately yes. I didn't know I was pregnant at the time. I was so depressed with what was going on with Chris and Daniel." Kiko "Well there is a high price for that mistake... Because you were drinking, your son has fetal alcohol syndrome. Which is pattern of mental and physical defects that can develop in a fetus when a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy. The timing and frequency of alcohol consumption during pregnancy are major factors in the risk of a child developing fetal alcohol syndrome. Lauren this is not good. You have been very careless with this child from day one. Faking your death to being on the run. You did not put you child first and now because of that, this child has to suffer for the rest of his life. What do you have to say for yourself?" Lauren, wiping free flowing tears from her face "There's nothing I can say. I made a mistake." Kiko "You most certainly did. And because I am related to this baby, as he is my nephew, yes Kevin is my half brother." Lauren "Oh I had no idea." Kiko "Well the point I am making is that I have called Children Services Board, and they are taking your son from you and placing him in foster care. You are an unfit mother Lauren Roman." Lauren, standing up in an outrage "No damn it! Now I know I made some mistakes but I am not letting you take my son away from me." Kiko "I'm sorry Lauren; you have no say in the matter. It's out of my minds. Now if you will excuse me, I have work to do. Good Day Ms. Romoan. Lauren turns around leaving Kiko's office in shock. She collapses to the ground over the thought shejust lost her son .

Huntington Memorial Hospital Kiko walk into Alexis's room. Alexis "Thank goodness you are here, I need my release papers." Kiko "What happen?" Alexis "I was jumped. I was attacked by two of Pasadena's biggest losers " Kiko "Okay…. I heard about it." Alexis "You did? From whom?" "From me Bitch and if you ain't careful I'ma whoop that ass again. I told you I'm the head bitch round Pasadena. And don't you forget it." Kiko and Alexis look at the door and see Ria. Alexis "I don't believe this. Kiko please call the zoo, they've lost a wild and untamed animal. In fact call the CIA they forgeot to kill Ria like they just killed Osama Bin Laden" Ria, walking over toward Alexis but Kiko jumps in and uses his body weight to push her back out the room "Bitch you don't know me like that! You not gone talk to me like you crazy bitch! I know that!" Kiko "You two have to stop this! Alexis is pregnant. You can't be fighting!" Alexis "What did you just say?" Kiko "That's what I am here to tell you Alexis. You're pregnant." Ria "Ooh hell naw." Alexis "I can't believe this." Kiko turns around and pushes Ria out the door. Kiko "What the hell is the matter with you?" Ria "What you talking? The white girl was about to get that ass beat one mo' gen. She don't know who she talking to. She better ask somebody about me. I'm not the one" Kiko "Just when I feel sorry for you, you go and do something this! You have no control over your behavior. You're a beast. You should be in a chapel praying to God that you don't have breast cancer, not berating and harassing a pregnant woman. I see why you don't have a man." And with that he storms off. Ria is absolutely dumbfounded. "No he didn't" she thinks as she then walks into Ladonna's Room. Ria "Donna girl you up?" Donna, opening her eyes who was napping "Hey Ria. Thanks for coming to the rescue." Ria "Uhm hmm girl. I must say I am very disappointed in you?" Donna "Disappointed? Why? Alexis attacked me." Ria "Girl, you was letting that white tramp work you out. She was having her way with you. Girl she was beating yo ass." Ladonna "Oh Ria please. You sound like you're in high school." Ria "Uhm hmm, well I don't know what that's supposed to mean. But I am here to tell you girl, that the white girls is pregnant. How about them apples?" Ladonna "Alexis is pregnant? How do you know?" Ria "Dr. Whitfield told us." "Told you what?" They hear, seeing it's Kiko himself. Ria "Oh nothing. I just gave her the latest news. The goings on of Pasadena." Kiko "You didn't?" Ladonna "Yes I know. Alexis is pregnant." Kiko grabs Ria's arm and pulls her out the room as Ladonna digest the news that Alexis is pregnant. Kiko "Once again. Do you have no shame? What was the point in telling Ladonna what you did?" Ria "She was going to find out any way. What does it matter?" Kiko "I have to get you out of here. Follow me to my office I have the results of your breast examination." Ria takes a deep breath praying for the best as she follows Kiko. She sits down and Kiko takes his seat at his desk. He opens a file He looks at her. "Ria, I'm sorry but yes, you have breast cancer." Episode 130: Ria's Big Mouth! Written by ML Cooks For the Birds Mental Rehabilitation Centre Jasmine walks over to a receptionist desk. "How may I help you?" Jasmine "Yes I am here to see the facility administrator, Mr. Watkins. I'm Jasmine Winters and we have an appointment in about ten minutes." Receptionist "Ok I'll page him Ms. Winters." Jasmine "Thank you." She walks away, walking over to the set of door that leads to the common area. She can see some patients, playing the piano, one is playing with puppets and another woman with red hair sits in a corner looking out the window rocking back and forth. Then her attention looks over in the direction of the door where she hears some commotion. Pounding on the north wing doors is once again Lynn. Lynn "Let me at her! I'm going to kill Sister Patterson! Let me go. Death to Sister Patterson.! She stole my husband and had three kids with him! She destroyed my family and claims she's a woman of God. She ruined my marriage to DC. I want her dead! She's the reason I'm in this damn place. She caused my mental break down. I will not rest until that slut whore bitch is dead!" Once again orderlies have to come up and sedate her and take her back to her room. Jasmine "Wow." Mr. Watkins walks up to Jasmine "I see you have seen one of our patients have an episode." Jasmine "Is that what you call it?" Mr. Watkins "Let's get this interview started shall we. Follow me." As Jasmine follows Mr. Watkins to his office, she walks past Mona and Apple's room and sees them kissing one another. They are finally at his office and they both take their seats. Mr. Watkins "I was looking at your resume Ms. Winters and was very impressed. That's why I have asked you here today for this job interview." Jasmine "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to come talk to you." Mr. Watkins "Yes the reason I need someone like you is because we have had a surge in patients, who will be needing some long term psychiatric care. With the surge of recent patients, we have a patient to staff ratio to maintain. I think you would be a great addition." Jasmine "Than you sir." Mr. Watkins "Great. Here is your roster of patients." Mr. Watkins hands her a folder. She opens it and reads four names" Kelis Williams, Sister Patterson Williams, Dottie Hinkle, Lynn Whitfield, and Applelonia NoLastName. Lynn "Thank you, I'll take these home and read the case notes." Mr. Watkins "Good, I expect you here at 7 am and my secretary will assist you on setting up your office and other paper work to get you on the pay roll. Thanks for coming and good day Ms. Winters." Jasmine "No no, thank you." Jasmine stands up and walks out the office. She walks past Kiko who is entering to see his own mother. Receptionist "I'll buzz you back Dr. Whitfield." Kiko "Thank you." Kiko is buzzed past the double doors and he walks into the common room and then into the north wing of the building. A nurse runs up to him before Kiko can enter Lynn's room Nurse "We need to have a word Doctor." Kiko "Is something wrong with my mother?" Nurse "In fact there is. She seems to know one of our newer arrivals. A Sister Patterson Williams." Kiko "Oh no. She's here too?" Nurse "So you do know her." Kiko "If only you knew. Well what's going on? What does this have to do with my mother?" Nurse "Lynn had two outbursts in less than twelve hours" Kiko "Outburst? My mother is weak and fragile. " Nurse "Ms. Whitfield was able to get the strength and get up out her wheel chair and run to those doors right behind you and pound on it. She almost broke the glass. And she kept repeating "Death to Sister Patterson". She says she is going to kill her." Kiko "This is not good. Let me talk to her and try to calm her down." Nurse "Well we gave her a sedative to calm her down out of her outburst." Kiko "Thank you" he says as he walks in the room. He sees Lynn laxxed out on her bed, Kiko "Mother, what is going on with you?" Lynn, looking at her son "Oh Kiko, thank God you're here. You have to get me out of here. They keep giving me these drugs. All they do is drug me." Kiko "That's not what they're telling me mother. You're supposed in here getting better so you can live a normal life. What's this about Sister Patterson?" Lynn sits up upon hearing that name. "Oh, son, you have to help me, she's here. Sister Patterson is here! And as God as my witness. I am going to kill that slut whore bitch. Nothing and no one is going to stop me. Not even you my dear son." Kiko "No mother, you can't speak like that. You have to let this go. Don's affair happened years ago. It's history. Don't let the past consume you from having a future." Lynn "That slut whore bitch stole my family and my life. She is going to pay and no one will convince me otherwise. I have been thinking about this every of day all the years I been in here." Kiko "Mother I am telling you this is dangerous. You have to let this go. You'll never get better if you don't. I beg you please." He gives her a kiss and lays her back down. He leaves the room. As he does he is stopped by a woman. "Excuse me young bother, I am Sister O'Dell and I am looking for Sister Patterson's room." Kiko "I'm sorry Sister O'Dell. I don't work here." Sister O'Dell "Oh I'm sorry young brother. With the doctor coat on I thought you did. Thank you and have a good day." Kiko "I was coming from work. You too." He says as Sister O'Dell is buzzed back to see Sister Patterson. Sister O'Dell walks into Sister Patterson's room and is shocked to see her in a straight jacket. Patterson "Sister O'Dell, I am so glad you are here. Finally someone from my team. We are on the battlefield of sin O'Dell. This ain't no work of the lord. The devil is a lair. Can I get an Amend?" O'Dell "No Patterson. I am here with some news." Patterson "Oh, my third eye told me I would be hearing from you?" O'Dell "Is that so? Then your third eye must have also told you that the church has decided to let you go as the mother of the church." Patterson "You have joined the enemy in this crusade to take me out. It's not going to happen. This is the work of the devil damn it! Devil you will not beat me ya hear? I am Sister Patterson and I work for Lord. He has not layed me off due to these economical hardships of late that the devil has caused. It's a mistake. I should not be in here. I need to be out there praying for people and having my bible meetings." O'Dell "The mother of the church can't be someone who is in a Looney bin. It doesn't look right." Sister Patterson "You don't look right." O'Dell "You're going to make me get ugly up in here, so I best be going. You should know God don't' like ugly." Sister Patterson "I am Sister Patterson and I will not be in here for long. The devil cannot and will not hold me back. Everyone has turned their back on me. But it's ok. Hear me and hear me now! I am Sister Patterson and I will get my life back. Mark my words Sister O'Dell." And with that Sister O'Dell walks out of her room as Sister Patterson tries to wrestle out of the straight Jacket. She tries to bite through it like the animal she truly is. It doesn't work. Then the lights in the facility begin to flicker again. Sister Patterson "Oh my Lord. Evil is here. I am surrounded by some very dark forces. God is this my final test? Am I going to have to perform an exorcism? Is that why you brought me here? "She looks around and into the hallway. She sees no one but the hallway looks very eerie with the lights still flickering. "Evil has a hold of this place. I have never felt something so vile. My third eye is telling me that a war is about to happen. A war between myself and the forces of evil. I have to get the bible meeting going so I can see who my troops are. I need strong soldiers on the battlefield of evilness. Meanwhile in Mona and Apple's room Mona pulls back from kissing Apple as the lights begin to flicker again. Mona "It's happening again." Apple "It's supposed to be my dear. Don't worry everything is fine." Mona "What did you do last night? That little chant. It looked like some kind of ritual or something?" Apple "Oh it was. Mona, I am very powerful. Very soon you will see that. You're mother will not know what hit her. She knows I am here. She can sense me." Mona "It's not easy to do and it's usually my job to do, but you are really starting to freak me out."

Salem Courthouse At the courthouse, almost all of the Hortons, Alexis, and Robin sit and watch as Laura goes on trial for trying to kill Robin. Judge Fitzpatrick looks at Laura. Judge Fitzpatrick Dr. Horton, you have been accused of three counts of attempted murder by Dr. Robin Jacobs. How do you plead? April My client pleads not guilty, your honor. Judge Fitzpatrick Prosecution, call your first witness. Paul McDaneld, an ADA that is trying Laura's case, stands up. McDaneld Prosecution calls Alexis Kefer to the stand. Alexis heads to the stand, and takes oath, before McDaneld begins his questioning. McDaneld Miss Kefer, would you say that Dr. Jacobs' description of the events of that fateful night are accurate? Alexis Hell no! Robin and I fought, and she fell; that was all. Laura was never even there. McDaneld Now, Miss Kefer, we have reason to doubt your credibility. Alexis Excuse me? McDaneld You and Dr. Jacobs have feuded ever since she returned to town, correct? Alexis Yes, that's true. McDaneld Then, why take her side in something like this? Why not side with the defendent in a continued attempt to get her grandson back? April Objection! Relevance! Judge Fitzpatrick Overruled. McDaneld I am simply making a point that all of this ties back into that: Miss Kefer carrying a torch for the defendent's grandson, Dr. Jacobs' son. Dr. Jacobs did not want you with her son, correct? Alexis Yes, but- McDaneld Then it makes perfect sense as to why you would lie under oath and not give the correct version of the story. You slept with Dr. Jacobs' ex-husband while you were with their son. In fact, you originally came to Salem when EJ Wells hired you to seduce Lucas Roberts, correct? Alexis, getting angry How do you know that?! McDaneld All of this puts your credibility in doubt, Miss Kefer. Perhaps you won't be the best witness in this case. No more questions. He goes and sits down, and April stands up. April Miss Kefer, could you perhaps give the court room a recap of this entire situation? What started all of this madness? Alexis Well, I was dating Jeremy, Mike and Robin's son. And...I really did love him. Then I did something I shouldn't have; I got drunk and slept with Mike. Jeremy found out, and broke up with me; then his mother zoomed into town. Robin basically took charge, hating on me every chance she got. Laura stood up for me and Mike; she told Robin off countless times, and even gave me some advice. That pissed her off, so she's trying to get her thrown back into some sanitarium. April So it would be fair to say that Dr. Jacobs' accusations stem simply from a grudge? Alexis, smirking at Robin Absolutely. April I think all of this sums Dr. Jacobs' plot perfectly. She was angry at Miss Kefer and Dr. Horton for hurting her son, and my client had a different opinion and didn't have a problem speaking her mind. Dr. Jacobs saw her as a problem and wanted her out of the way. No further questions. Alexis gets off of the stand, and next up is Laura. McDaneld questions her first. McDaneld Dr. Horton, you have a long history of mental problems. Mind telling us when they first started? April Objection! This man's questions have little relevance to the case at hand! McDaneld Your honor, this case is all about determining whether Dr. Horton has indeed gone insane or not. We must examine her history of mental illness so you can make a proper judgement. Judge Fitzpatrick Overruled, Counselor Ramirez. Answer the question, doctor. Laura It...was many years ago. After I had my beloved daughter, Jennifer, I suffered from depression; it is common for mothers. It increased when my husband had two affairs; one brought him a son, and that was what drove me over the edge. I endangered my daughter, and lapsed into a catatonic state. McDaneld And you were trapped in this catatonic state for many years, correct? Laura Yes, but that was because I was being fed drugs by the santarium. I know where you're heading, counselor, and I'm going to stop it; I am fully recovered. I have been for years; many people, such as Stefano DiMera and Peter Blake, have tried to make me look like I've relapsed and have gone insane. Robin is only the latest person to add to the list, but not once have I truly been insane. It is simply because of outside forces. McDaneld Alright. Then give us your description of the events that took place. Laura I wasn't even present when Robin hit her head; the second so called event was during an argument that we had. We were arguing over all of this, and she...she just pushed me too far. I didn't mean to put my hands around her neck, it just happened. McDaneld So you are admitting that if pushed too far, you can snap again? Laura NO! I didn't even snap; I was not trying to strangle Robin. It was a simple moment of weakness. McDaneld I think all of these events were moments of weakness. When you tried to kill her, when you tried to strangle her, and when you pushed her down the stairs. Laura I did not push her down the stairs! Robin threw HERSELF down the stairs after we argued about her actual motives. She wanted to set me up again, and it worked. I can only hope that Judge Fitzpatrick sees through that. McDaneld Why would Dr. Jacobs be so petty? She could have died or gotten seriously injured from such a drastic fall. It seems a bit far for a grudge. Laura Because that's who Robin is. I didn't know her when she was with my son, but the Robin of today is very petty. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants; she's not being protective of Jeremy. She's just looking out for her own interests. McDaneld It seems you have some malicious feelings towards her; I think this just proves that Dr. Horton did try to kill Dr. Jacobs. All three times. I rest my case. Judge Fitzpatrick Miss Ramirez, would you like to cross examine the witness? April No, your honor, I wouldn't. I would like to get a move on and call my witness to the stand: Dr. Robin Jacobs herself. Laura steps down, and Robin calmly heads up to the stand and takes oath. April Dr. Jacobs, before you returned to Salem because of Miss Kefer's actions, would you mind re-counting your last time in Salem? McDaneld Objection! Now Miss Ramirez is being irrelevant. April He got to recount his history, now I need to recount mine. Judge Fitzpatrick Once again, overruled. Robin What would my last time in Salem have to do with Laura? She wasn't even here when I last visited. April Answer the question, Dr. Jacobs Robin, scowling Fine. I came to Salem many years ago, shortly after leaving town, to introduce Mike to his son. That was all. April Ah, but it wasn't all, was it? Robin What do you mean? April You returned because you had hopes of rekindling your flame with Dr. Horton. Robin That's insane. McDaneld This is going no where, your honor! April Let me get to my point! Judge Fitzpatrick Make it quick, Miss Ramirez. April You returned to Salem to re-kindle your relationship with Dr. Horton. Yes or no. Robin N- April You are under oath. Robin Fine. Mike and I never exactly....closed the door entirely on our relationship. I left him because I caught him praying, when he agreed to convert to Judaism to marry me. But then I found out I was pregnant, and I got over our differences of religion...I wanted him back. April And what happened? Robin You know what happened, you bitch. You were the cause. April Ah, our first sign of Dr. Jacobs being jealous. So you could not re-unite with Dr. Horton because he was involved with me, correct? Robin Yes. I left town because he had moved on. April So you never got over him. Robin I never said that. April You left Salem with very unresolved feelings for Dr. Horton; you two couldn't put things in the past. So it would be safe to say that you carried those feelings around with you. Robin No. Absolutely not! Judge Fitzpatrick Counselor, I fail to see how this has anything to do with this trial. April Oh, but it does. Dr. Jacobs, I believe that you still carry a torch for Dr. Michael Horton; I believe that you came back to Salem because you were jealous that he slept with Alexis Kefer. Robin That's not true! It was because of my son! April That's what you've tried to tell yourself, isn't it? That's what you've tried to tell everyone around you, isn't it? You've put on a mask to everyone, acting like you are just an over-protective mother. And this was the basis of your last argument with Laura, was it not? When you threw yourself down those stairs at Maggie Horton's house? Laura finally figured you out; she called you out, and you couldn't stand it. Robin Laura pushed me down those stairs. She had no regard- April That is a lie and you know it. All of this is not only because you love your son, but because you still have feelings for Mike. You hate it, but you do, and it has been the basis of every single action that you've done since the day you came back to this town. Robin How dare you. What about you, huh? You randomly return to represent Laura in this trial? You're doing the same damn thing; it didn't take a day before you were back in Mike's bed, April. At least with me, I stood my ground against him. You and him are already back together, just like old times. April And that burns you so much, doesn't it? It hurts you; just like it hurt you that Alexis and Mike slept together. You framed Laura for this crime because she took sides with the woman that slept with YOUR ex! Not because she cheated on your son, she slept with your ex! Everything you have done is been out of spite; this farce of a charge is out of spite, because Laura screwed with your marvelous plan to keep Jeremy under your wing. And you keep him under your wing and away from his father because you are trying to bury those feelings, aren't you? You are angry at Mike for everything he's done, while you've loved him. You are angry at him for sleeping with Alexis. For sleeping with me, for- Robin, finally screaming ALRIGHT, DAMNIT, ALRIGHT! It's true! I set Laura up all three times. I still carried a torch for Mike. Everyone in the court room is stunned, and Jeremy's eyes go wide. He looks from Alexis, to Laura, to Robin. Jeremy Mom, no... April Finally. Mike, standing up Robin, is that true?! Robin Yes, Mike, it's true. For years, I have tried to put you behind me; I've tried to forget about you. When I found out that you were with April all those years ago, I knew it. I knew that it was over, and so I tried to just put it all behind me. But then you moved to Israel to try to be close to your son, and my hopes got up again. April broke it off with you, and I wondered if maybe we could be a family. Ha, fat chance. As quick as you came to Israel, you went back to Salem, and we didn't get a word from you for YEARS! Years, damnit; I had your son but we barely got a phone call. Then, all of a sudden, you show up again, and guess what? You have another fiancee! And you want to be close to Jeremy again, so you see him, sometimes...but of course, all of your attention is on Carrie. We watched from a distance as you two were so happy...and I wanted to get over you, but you were right there, with the woman that was going to be your wife. Then she left, but that didn't change much; you stuck around for a little while, before taking off again. All of this tortured me, Mike! It put me through so much misery; could I have you, or could I not?! So Jeremy decides to move to Salem to be close with his family, and later on, what do I find out? That you slept with his girl friend! I come back, and then your mother gets on MY case, when I was the one that had been hurt constantly! By you! I tried to deny my feelings, I tried to get rid of them, but you kept yanking my chain. And now, you're back with April. Do you know how much that hurts me?! I finally had enough; I set your mother up. I did it because I was tired of people taking your side; taking whores like Alexis' side. And I did it...because... Robin stops, getting choked up as she is overwhelmed with emotion. Maggie Maybe we should get her out of here. Jeremy NO! I want to here this. This...this is insane. Why else, mom? Why else would you do something so horrible to my grandma?! Robin, in tears Because I wanted to get back at your father. I hated that I loved him...I hated it, so I thought that maybe this would help me get over it; framing his mother. Maybe this would put that bitch away and I could put your father through something like he put me through. Julie That is insane! You love Mike so you frame his mother and try to make her look insane?! Alexis It's who Robin is. Mike No, no, it's not. This is not the woman I married; I married someone kind and loving. Someone who wasn't so petty like this. Robin, I've made a lot of mistakes, and I am sorry...but if you had feelings for me, you should have just told me! I've given you plenty of chances; remember our argument at the hospital? You could have solved this in a way totally different than this! Jeremy I thought I could trust you, Mom! I've asked you over and over if my grandma really tried to kill you, and you assured me that you only wanted her to get better! You made me believe you! Robin Jeremy, I love you with all of my heart. Yes, I did come back to Salem because I was furious that Mike had slept with another woman; it made all of my emotions from the past come roaring back. But I also did it because I DID know you were in pain. I wanted to help you and get you away from people like Mike and Alexis! People that make you love them but lead you on; people that make you want to go to the ends of the Earth for them but make you want to throttle them! Mike I have never been the best father, I take responsibility for that, but I've tried to fix it. I've tried to make it better, and instead of embracing that, you said my mother tried to kill you, simply because of a vendetta and because she disagreed with you! You left me in the first place, Robin. And you never told me anything else; what did you expect me to do?! Laura You're even worse than I thought, Robin! Jeremy, do you see now?! Do you see what I've been trying to tell you all along?! Jeremy I don't know what to think! Mom, you were there for me when my dad wasn't...but now, you've screwed me over too! Both of you have never done anything for me! Alexis, running to his side Jeremy... Jeremy And neither have you! Get away from me! I need to get out of here. Mike Jeremy! Jeremy darts out of the court room, and Robin quickly gets off the stand to go after him, but she is grabbed by the baliff. Judge Fitzpatrick I'm puting an end to this circus right now. Dr. Laura Horton, you obviously are not guilty of these charges; you are free to go. On behalf of the town of Salem, I apologize for putting you through all of this. Dr. Robin Jacobs, I hereby order your arrest. Many in the court room breathe a sigh of relief, and Laura just sits at the table, not knowing what to think. Laura Finally, I'm free...everyone knows that Robin's a liar. This nightmare is over! Episode#456: All Bitches Fall Down Written by: Tara Smith and ML Cooks Alamain Mansion Nicholas is alone at the Alamain Mansion, the home of the once great Alamain family, when he hears a knock at the door. He answers it to see Philip Kiriakis! Nicholas Uh, can I help you? Philip, walking right in The name's Philip Kiriakis. We have a lot to discuss. Nicholas Kiriakis...as in Victor Kiriakis? Wait, Philip Kiriakis...that name sounds familiar. Philip And it should. Nicholas You're Belle's ex-husband. You kidnapped her and her daughter and then stalked Belle. Shouldn't you be in jail? Philip I've done my time. Besides, prison can't keep a Kiriakis man down for long. Nicholas Well, what the hell do you want with me? Philip Justin told me that you'd been dating Belle; when I talked to her, it sounded like you'd gotten her pretty upset. Rumor is that you two had some big argument. Nicholas How is that any of your business? Philip Belle is my ex-wife; I need to make up for all that I did to her. She deserves a man who loves her and treats her right. What did you do to her? Nicholas You must have some pretty big balls to walk into the ALAMAIN Mansion and tell me how to treat a woman. Not that I care about Belle anyway; she left me out in the cold. She refused to help me stop YOUR mother. Philip My mother? You mean the woman that you tried to sleep with? Nicholas No, the one that gave birth to you. Vivian Alamain. Philip Ha. And here I thought you were close to your aunt; I can see why you're not, though. That bitch has taken over this entire town and is destroying my father's legacy. But for you to ask Belle to do something like that? Pretty low. Nicholas Yeah, you've got no place to talk. You kidnapped her and threatened her. Philip I never expected Belle to do anything for me; you thought that she would use her power at Titan to help you like that? Belle's too good for that. Nicholas I thought Belle loved me. If she loved me, she would have done it for me, no matter what. That's what lovers do for each other. Philip You must not know Belle then; the Belle that I was married to was a good woman. A woman who was also perfect and wouldn't commit a crime for anyone; she stands up for what she believes in. The fact that you left her shows what a jackass you are. Nicholas What was I supposed to do? Philip You should've stood by her. Nicholas You didn't do that. She told me everything about what you did; practice what you preach. Philip I'm willing to bet that I was much better to Belle than you ever were. Especially with how crappy you've treated her lately. Watch your step, man. Hurt Belle like that again and you'll answer to me. Philip walks out of the Alamain Mansion, leaving an angry Nicholas in his wake. Salem University Hospital Bo stands outside his grandson, Bentley's, room. He watches as he sleeps peacefully, recovering from being shot at such a young age. Bo can't believe what he has been through, and what is going on to his entire family. Hope walks up to him. Bo Fancy Face, I thought you were going to be at the court house for a while? Hope I was, but it ended a little quicker than expected. I swear, it was an all out mess. Robin broke down on the stand and confessed to setting Laura up; apparently she was never over Mike, and she ranted at him for what he's put her and Jeremy through over the years. It's insanity, but good for Laura. Bo Poor Jeremy. Finding out that your mother isn't the perfect woman you think she is can be hard; it takes a lot to get over that, but he will, eventually. I know. Hope I know you do...we've been through a lot, haven't we? Bo Definitely, but it's all...it's all going to get better. For Laura and Jeremy. For us. Hope, sighing I'd really like that. Bo stares at his wife, knowing that in order to get their lives back on track, he has to end his affair with Kristen. It may hurt him to do it, but he has to. Hope So, how's Bentley? Bo Doing great; even better than they hoped. He'll be released soon and then he can come home with us. Hope That'll be great; I feel horrible, Brady. In all of this chaos, we've totally forgotten about our own grandchildren. Have we even visited Claire? And we let our grandson live with a lunatic for so long... Bo I know; I confronted Jan once, but it led to nothing because of all that's happened. But at least he had Lucas, and now we can change everything. We're going to put our family back together, Fancy Face, I promise. We're going to see Claire more often. We're going to adopt Bentley and make him a part of our lives. Hope, smiling That'll be great. It really will...hopefully the worst has passed. She looks at her grandson through the window. Hope Bentley Brady...has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Jan Hell no! Bo and Hope both turn around to see Jan approaching. Both give each other a worried look. Jan The only way that his last name would have ever been Brady would have been if Shawn had made him Bentley Brady, and made me Jan Brady. But that didn't happen, so he's Bentley Spears. What do you two think you are doing here? Hope It's over, Jan. We've made the mistake of not keeping a closer eye on Bentley and that ends now; he's our grandson. Lucas asked us to raise Bentley. Jan Lucas has NO jurisdiction over MY son. Bo And it's what Shawn would want too, you know. He wouldn't want you raising him. Jan That's NOT true. Hope I am sure it will be easy to convince a judge to give custody to us. We are adopting Bentley and making him a part of our family as soon as possible. Jan No. I am Bentley's mother. I will not let that happen. Bo You don't have a choice, Jan. You made your decision the minute you started scheming again; you had a chance to be a good mother and you wasted your time on some baby switch. You've been nothing but trouble from the start. You ruined Shawn's life twice. Because of you, Lucas is going to prison and leaving his own family behind. Jan, appalled That was Greta's fault, NOT mine! She's the one who switched the babies, locked me up in a secret room, and shot Bentley! All of this goes back to her! Hope And who threw that racoon on her in the first place?! Who made her leave town? You tortured Belle. You tortured Mimi. You tortured Chloe. You tortured Eugenia. Bo You tried to kill my father. You locked my son in a cage for months, then tricked him for even more months. You stole his sperm! It's amazing that Marlena actually gave birth to someone like you; if she was alive today, she'd be disappointed in what you've become. Or what you've always been. Hope And now it's over. You're over, Jan. We're getting rid of you for the final time; go get some help, because you really need it. Until that happens, you're not even going to see Bentley again. Because he will be our son now. We're going to protect Bentley from poison like you. Jan It's amazing to ME that people like you created the love of my life. You both are making a big mistake. Jan turns around and furiously storms off, leaving Bo and Hope to watch. Hope What a disturbed woman. Bo She's gone now. She's going to be out of Bentley's life, and he'll be in ours. I'm going to make this work, Fancy Face. I promise. Hope, looking at her husband Really? Do you mean that? Bo, hesitant before leaning in and kissing her Yes, I mean it. Now, I have to go...there's some business down at the station that I need to take care of. Bo turns and leaves, as Hope goes back to watching over their grandson. Titan Vivian is inside her office at Titan, the one that once belonged to her late husband, Victor Kiriakis. She is personally filling out the invitations to her ball. Vivian, chuckling I am sending an invitation to every single address in Salem. This ball must be huge; I want everyone in this town to see that I have taken over. And I want all of my enemies to be there...I want to be able to gloat as they see that Vivian Alamain has finally won! And this time, no one is stopping her. She grabs her phone and dials a number. Vivian Ivan! Get into my office and get these invitations sent out ASAP! She hangs up, and smiles. Vivian Now that that is taken care of, it's time to line up media coverage. I want every single Salem affiliate at this ball; NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX. CNN. MSNBC. They all will be at my ball! Vivian begins to make the arrangements, but suddenly, Celeste walks in. Vivian, on the phone I'll have to call you back. She hangs up the phone again, and looks at Celeste. Vivian Celeste, what could you possibly want now? You are lucky that my secretary had a trial to go to. Celeste I had to take a quick vacation from Salem, dahling, but I'm back. Vivian Celeste, I have a ball to plan. I've been through this with you time and time again; we've fought and fought. You can do nothing to stop me. I've already won. Celeste I'm not here to fight with you, Vivian. As much as I hate you and would like to, I'm not going to waste my time attacking you again. However, I will say that I cannot believe you are doing this. Taking the hospital from the Hortons?? I know why you got revenge on your family and me, but what did the Hortons ever do to you? Vivian It's simple business, Celeste. It helped in my domination of Salem. You and your cards would not understand. Celeste You are ruthless. You kicked a good, hard working family out of their own hospital! Vivian And gave YOUR daughter her old job back! You should be thanking me. Celeste Alexandra was just fine at the hospital without being the chief-of-staff. You are destroying lives, Vivian. When will it stop? When will you finally end this madness? Vivian Please, I am destroying no lives. I've gotten my revenge; now it's much more than that. I am on top of Salem. I'm reigning over every single part of it. I am a DiMera AND Kiriakis; something that you, even when sleeping with both patriarchs, could not achieve. Celeste I had much deeper relationships with Stefano and Victor than you could have ever hoped for. Vivian Yet I'm the one who married them. Twice. You are just a servant, Celeste. You are not worth my time, so get out. Celeste Wait, Vivian! Don't go through with this ball! As much as I despise you, dahling, I have to warn you: I have a bad feeling about this. This ball will go very badly for you.
