  1. Ohhh how I love Sister Patterson. She gives me LIFE. Glad to hear Esther made it out alive! Those scenes were great. The smoky old VW bus. I just love it all, please please please keep Sister Patterson around. Daniel should wrapped it uuuuup. LOVE James coming in. SO excited to see him going forward. The scenes with Scotty and Lauren were great, too. Keep doing those kinds of scenes, they're great. Also LOVED Karynn's concern being entirely about the will. So like her. You've done a great job with that character. FANTASTIC return!
  2. EPISODE 49 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson A knock is heard on Kate's office door. Kate looks up from her computer. KATE: Come in! Billie and Lucas step in, a look of worry across both their faces. KATE: Ah! Billie! Lucas! Excellent. BILLIE: Okay, Mom. You sounded urgent on the phone...what's going on? KATE: Well...have a seat, and we'll discuss it. Billie and Lucas obey their mother's command and sit down in front of her desk. Kate leans over her desk, as if to give a proclamation. KATE: I think it's time we sat down and discussed the Titan board meeting next week, and whether or not the company should hold onto Titan TV. Lucas seems confused, Billie looks over to him. LUCAS: What does that have to do with us? I mean, we'd have to start putting more money into our advertising budget, but surely Victor can grandfather something in. KATE: No, no. It's not just that. We could face a very hefty penalty as a company for the things we do with that TV station. Everything from the news to, yes, our advertising deals. The FCC could have major problems with that. BILLIE: What? Wait, mom. You've never forced our hand on a board vote before. What's got you so concerned this time? Kate pauses a moment, not sure how to respond. --- Jenn is sitting at her desk at the hospital, having a chat with Laura. As she talks with Laura, Jenn tries to do some filing. LAURA: So how was your night with Liam? JENN: It was wonderful. Honestly, I've never met a man who just...understood me so completely, not since... Jenn stops herself, choking up a bit thinking of Jack. LAURA: Since...Daniel? Jenn stays still a moment, then shakes her head. Outside Jenn's office door, Daniel approaches, with a document in hand for Jenn. Just before stepping to the door, he hears Jenn say his name. JENN: Not since Jack, Mom. I mean...Daniel....Daniel, I thought he was fantastic. I was so patient with him, because I knew how hard it's been with him since his wife died and...he knew when Jack came back to town so give us space. He was really great when Jack died. He knew exactly what I was going through... Jenn pauses for a moment. Laura presses. LAURA: But... JENN: But, Mom, he didn't trust me when my son was in trouble. He lied and made me believe he'd not only sleep with someone like Theresa, but that he'd be doing drugs with her? All for what? Because he didn't think I'd stand by my son? Because I couldn't be trusted to protect my own son. Laura walks over to Jenn and hugs her for a minute. Jenn leans in to give her mom a warm hug like she'd been wanting to for a long time. LAURA: I'm so sorry, honey. I didn't realize. I know, we all miss Jack. I just...well...just give it time. Don't rush into things, okay? Liam seems like a good guy but...I want you to just take it easy, okay? Jenn pulls away from her mom's embrace and, still holding her hands, smiles warmly at Laura. Outside Jenn's door, Daniel shakes his head, wincing from the stinging words Jenn has spoken about him. He walks away from Jenn's door, heading back to tend to Theresa. JENN: Thanks, Mom. Can we...uh...talk about something else? Jenn wipes away tears as she asks Laura the question, and Laura sits back in her chair, immediately knowing what else she had on her mind. LAURA: Well...how's Abigail been feeling? JENN: You know...it's strange, she's been...so run down the last few months, and sick a lot. Not much of an appetite, and when she does it, it's been terrible food. I mean, if I didn't know she'd only been with Chad, honestly, I'd say she were pregnant. Laura looks to Jenn, a bit concerned. --- EJ kneels over Abigail as she lies on the floor of the DiMera offices, unconscious. EJ checks her breathing, as Abigail slowly stirs. EJ: Abigail? You alright? ABBY: Uh...huh? EJ? What?... Abigail looks around the room, in a daze. She grabs her stomach suddenly, before realizing where she is, and lets go. ABBY: My b...my God. I... EJ: You need to go to the hospital immediately, we'll get you checked out. Abigail protests weakly, as EJ sits her up to head for the elevator. ABBY: No...no...no, I'm fine... Abigail's face is increasingly panicked as she gets boosted up into EJ's arms and whisked off to UH. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7-6YubuS4 --- Anne continues to slap the man at the door of the elevator, thinking him to be EJ, until a strong American accent throws her off and stops her assault. REPAIR GUY: Hey, hey, hey! LADY! What the Hell??! Anne backs up, and takes a closer look at the man before her. She jumps back a little, an apologetic look across her face. ANNE: Oh...oh my God, I'm...I'm so sorry, I... REPAIR GUY: This how you treat everyone that comes to help ya, lady? ANNE: I...I thought you were someone else, see, it's actually a really funny story, see... REPAIR GUY: I'm sure it is. Anne steps casually off the elevator, following the now-completely-bemused repairman away from the elevator. ANNE: See, I thought you were this guy who's been following me around and has people all out to make me think I'm crazy and when, well, really, I'm not, he's just an... Anne stops herself, realizing how absolutely insane she sounds. She smiles at the repairman, and takes his hand in hers, patting it gratefully. ANNE: You know what? Nevermind. Thanks again! I really appreciate it. Anne steps towards her door and hastily opens it, stepping into her apartment. The repairman stands back, in shock at what's just transpired. REPAIR GUY: I gotta get outta this town, man! --- Gabi walks into Club TBD. Looking around, she sees Nick, sitting at a booth in the corner. She tenses, incredibly wary of coming anywhere closer to Nick. Finally she steps forward, essentially forcing herself into line. She sits down at the table. Nick immediately takes her hand in his. NICK: I'm so glad to see you. Gabi pulls her hand away quickly. She smiles immediately, realizing how bad that looks. GABI: Sorry. I'm....a bit nervous. NICK: I understand. It's alright. Please, can I order you a drink? Gabi smiles a slightly devious smile, but catches herself and nods, changing her smile to a more flirtatious one. Nick smiles and flags down T. Gabi looks on, thinking to herself: I have to make this happen. I have to get him hooked again. I can't have him hurt me, or Ari. I won't let it happen. --- Kate gestures, trying in vain to find some kind of answer to Billie's question. She stands up and begins pacing the room while talking. KATE: It's....simple, really. I just...did a bit of research, it's really nothing to do with anything. BILLIE: Okay, seriously. Mom, what's going on? Why are you so freaked out? I can tell you're not yourself right now. LUCAS: Seriously, Mom. Spill! What's got you so riled up? Kate takes a second to breathe before turning around to face her kids' onslaught of questions. KATE: It's just best business practice. I'm just....nervous about how Victor's going to react, is all. I mean, we haven't exactly been on the best of terms since I-- LUCAS: ...Tried to have him killed at the Coronation... Kate rolls her eyes at Lucas' snarky remarks before carrying on. KATE:..and now...well...I just...he's been gracious enough to have me as CEO at MadWorld and I'm not prepared to give that up, but going against him, particularly when he's so distressed about Brady's accident, I just... Billie gets up and walks over to Kate. Putting a hand on Kate's shoulder, she reassures her. BILLIE: Mom, I get it. I'll think about it, but...we're in your corner, Lucas and I. Okay? Kate smiles and hugs Billie tightly. KATE: I knew I could count on you. Lucas looks on, not quite so convinced, and folds his arms while shaking his head. --- EJ walks down the hallway at University Hospital, having come from Abigail's hospital room. He is deep in thought, concerned for Abigail, but not so sure about what's been bugging her. Upon entering the 6th floor lobby, EJ sees Sami standing with Marlena and Kim. They look concerned themselves. EJ begins to head over to greet Sami, but Sami looks up at him, and freezes. EJ immediately remembers Sami's recollections after their argument, and stops himself. Sami turns away momentarily to tell Marlena and Kim something. SAMI: Uh...look, I....think I need to talk to EJ for a moment, do you mind? MARLENA: Are you sure that's a good idea? SAMI: I'll be fine, Mom. Thanks. Marlena gives Sami and quick kiss on the cheek and hug before stepping aside with Kim. Sami steps to EJ slowly, almost reluctantly, yet trying to come off nonchalantly. EJ: Samantha. SAMI: EJ. I guess you've heard about Brady and Theresa's accident today. EJ: I have. I'm sorry to hear about it. How is everyone holding up. SAMI: (sighs) I suppose as well as can be expected. My Aunt Kim is just waiting to hear back from the doctors before she goes in to visit. Daniel was operating and they're just letting Theresa rest for a bit before they let her visit so... EJ: I see. SAMI: Yep. So...what are you doing here? EJ: Uh, I was actually here tending to Abigail, you see, she's been in a bit of an accident at work, and-- SAMI: What?! Is she okay? EJ reaches out to stop Sami from running off to find Abigail's room, but when EJ touches her, he catches himself as Sami flinches. EJ: I'm sorry. SAMI: (sigh) It's...okay. Uh...is she okay? Can I see her? What happened? EJ: She had a ladder fall on her at the office earlier, it's...no big deal, she's fine, I just...I stopped you because the doctor was in with her just now. SAMI: Oh...right. EJ: I'm actually going to check on her to see what the doctor says and if you want I can ask Abigail if she wouldn't mind a visitor. If you like, that is. SAMI: That...sounds great. EJ: Alright, I'll be right back. EJ smiles a bit, Sami smiles back. As EJ steps away, she almost collapses, as though she'd been holding onto every bit of strength she had during their exchange. Sami takes a seat at a nearby bench and breathes heavily, trying to regain some semblance of composure. Inside Abigail's hospital room, Daniel talks with Abigail. Abigail is extremely nervous, knowing Daniel's close relationship with her family and friends, particularly her mom. DANIEL: Well, looks like you just had a bit of a hit on the head. No need for any surgery, so...you should be out of here in a few hours. ABBY: That's good. Uh...Daniel...umm...you're not going to tell my mom about any of this, are you? DANIEL: Nah, that's...that's not gonna happen. See, your mom and I are, in no uncertain terms, finished. ABBY: Good. Uh...that's....not quite what I meant. I mean, I just...well, you know a lot of my family and friends and... DANIEL: Doctor-patient confidentiality. Cross my heart. Abigail smiles, feeling reassured that Daniel won't speak to anyone about her condition. ABBY: Great. So uh...why a few hours, what else needs to be done? As Daniel explains, EJ approaches the door to her hospital room, and begins to open the door to check on the progress of Abigail's appointment. As he opens the door, he hears Daniel speak. DANIEL: We just have to run one more test to see how your baby's holding up after the accident and you should be set to go! EJ's eyes pop out, shocked by Daniel's news. ---
  3. Amaaaazing! This was a fabulous episode, Cary! Great on every level! The town comes together for the wedding, traditional soap style! It's been years since I've seen stuff like this. I love every bit of it, the family moments between Jake and Lindsay, Paulina arriving with Jack, infuriating Grant. I also am intrigued by Michele's illiteracy. This sounds like there's more than a simple brain injury at work here. Can't wait to see where you take that! AWESOME work!
  4. OOPS! That was a great episode. Tracy and Sydney's confrontation was excellent. I loved the interplay and could totally see that going down on TV. That cliffhanger was fabulous too. Monica better find her way out of that hole she's dug fast! Morgan and KaKa hooking up, maybe? Hmmm! EXCELLENT work!
  5. Ohhhh I know where this is going. I love the old fashioned GH caper. Great move! Can't wait to see how Felicia, Maxie and Levi and Nathan all get tangled up in this. Wonderful! Love the secret of Michael paternity being re-examined. You're gonna do great with that story, so I'm excited to read. Always great seeing Tracy and Monica more. I'd love to see more of Monica and Tracy's humour. That always sold them to me. Great work!
  6. EPISODE 48 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson EJ sits on the edge of Abigail's desk. She seems visibly uncomfortable with EJ's intensity, which is unrelenting. His eyes are piercing, and it intimidates her. ABBY: I...was just...I'm tired. That's all, EJ. Please just...don't worry about me. EJ: Abigail, you've been like this for weeks now. You're getting your work done and it's pleasing Samantha but...I know something's off. Abby gets up from her seat, but has difficulty doing so. EJ attempts to give her a hand, but she refuses. ABBY: No. Please don't. EJ looks, a great concern on his face. --- Kate is working at her desk when Nick knocks twice and promptly steps into Kate's office. Kate is immeidately displeased by his barging in. KATE: Have you never worked in an office before? NICK: Your secretary wasn't at her desk, so...hey, I knocked first. Kate rolls her eyes at Nick before motioning him to sit down. He obliges, taking an exceedingly casual pose in his chair. NICK: So here's the deal... KATE: Ohhh boy, here we go. NICK: I know, right? Did you hear the news about Brady? KATE: Yes, I did, and I would expect you would be a little more reverent, particularly since he's what, your...6th cousin or something? It's so hard to tell in this town, especially with the Hortons. NICK: I didn't really know Brady. I know he had problems. I can empathize. But I don't really have the time to dwell on it. And neither do you. KATE: Look, if this is about the Titan TV vote, I already agreed to vote in favour of divesting-- NICK: That's not what I'm talking about. Kate stops cold, trying to figure out what Nick's getting at. NICK: Victor is going to push back that vote as much as possible until Brady's found. We all know this. It's up to you to convince the board that that idea is reckless. The vote needs to happen immediately. --- Anne pushes the Emergency Call button inside the elevator frantically. The light never turns on. The sound of the local radio station playing the daily news does nothing but heighten her panic. Worried that EJ is trying to do her in, she screams at the top of her lungs, hoping someone will hear her. ANNE: HELP! SOMEBODY! Her voice echoes but no voice returns her pleas. She tries to climb up the the ceiling of the elevator, hoping the shaft contains an emergency escape. As she's about the use the back railing to boost herself up, the elevator jolts suddenly. The entire carriage shakes, and Anne falls back to the ground. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7-6YubuS4 --- Hope steps into Victor's office. Victor and Maggie are going over their plan to re-open the Penthouse Grille. Victor looks up at Hope, and Maggie turns to face her. VICTOR: Hope! What a surprise. What are you doing here? Victor and Maggie's pleased looks fade as they see Hope's sadness. HOPE: Sorry, I...your secretary told me I could just come in. VICTOR: Nonsense, you're always welcome. What can I do for you? Victor gets up, motioning to Hope to take a seat next to Maggie. Hope slowly saunters over and sits down. She gathers her strength to give them the news. HOPE: Well...I have some news. It's about Brady. Maggie loses all the colour from her face, while Victor looks on, a stoic look, but almost as though if he said anything, he'd be sick. HOPE: There's been an accident. Brady and Theresa drove off an embankment just outside the city, and...Theresa's in a coma at the hospital, and Brady....they...they can't find him, Victor. Victor breathes deeply, before sighing, soaking in the news for a second. VICTOR: Well, then you'd better get a bigger search party out. HOPE: We have been searching for hours, Victor. There's no sign of him. VICTOR: Well, then he's still out there. And you're wasting your time sitting her moping. Let's get out there and look. I'll have my men out there scouring the river in less than an hour. HOPE: Victor! Stop! The forensics team said that considering the speed Brady was travelling when he drove off the road...the chances of him surviving the crash are still incredibly slim. VICTOR: Then where's his body, dammit?! If you want me to believe it, I need proof, not conjecture. HOPE: Victor, I'm sorry. We are going to keep looking for him. VICTOR: (sigh) No. I'm sorry, Hope. I'm just in shock, and angry, and I'm taking out my frustration on you. Just...let me know what you find. Thank you. Hope stands up from her seat, followed by Maggie. Maggie reaches over to hug Hope, before Hope leaves. As Hope heads fr the door, she stops, remembering one last thing to tell Victor. HOPE: Victor, if you have any questions or anything, maybe a clue, give me a call. VICTOR: Absolutely. Maggie walks over to Victor's side the desk, and kneels down beside him. She cries as she lays her head next to his and embraces him. --- Kate leans forward in her chair, staring Nick down as he lounges on the opposite side of her desk, his smug expression infuriating her. KATE: Now, you are well aware that Victor is not going to allow Brady's votes to be removed from the board meeting until there's a body found, and that's final. If anything, he's going to try to proxy Brady's votes himself, or find a nearby ally to vote on Brady's behalf. NICK: But I'm sure you realize how controversial that would be to the board. And I'm sure you know how to push the board to say what you want them to say. I mean, for one thing, your son and your daughter are on the board. So...that's two votes more tipping the scales in my favour, no? Nick holds up his hands, counting the board members on both hands. He shakes three on his left hand, indicating Kate, Lucas, and Billie's votes. KATE: You want me to use my children to vote your way, now NICK: I want them to see sense, Kate. That TV station is nothing but a propoganda machine for the EnerNext tar sands, and everybody knows it. The FCC is going to come down on them hard for their lack of journalistic standards, and you could be looking at some pretty hefty fines for the reporting if Titan isn't careful. KATE: I see... Nick leans in towards Kate, looking intensely into Kate's eyes. NICK: And you know how bad Titan's finances are, surely. I'd suggest if you want to keep MadWorld afloat, you might want to consider how a major loss in cashflow might affect your employment. Nick gets up, and slowly heads for the door. As he opens the door, he turns and winks at Kate. NICK: Nice talkin' to ya! As he closes the door, Kate flops back in her chair, and rolls her eyes. Spent from trying to maintain her cool against Nick, she picks up her phone and calls Lucas. KATE: You and I need to talk right now. And bring Billie with you. My office, yeah. Kate hangs up, and sighs heavily. --- Anne picks herself up off the floor, realizing the radio has stopped, and suddenly, a voice calls out to her over the speakers. RADIO: Hello? Someone in there? Anne jolts upright, relieved to hear a voice speaking to her. ANNE: Yes! I'm in here! RADIO: Okay, ma'am. Someone's on their way, that jolt you just felt was the repairman resetting the system. We'll have you up to your floor momentarily. ANNE: Oh my GOD, thank you!! RADIO: No worries, ma'am. After a few moments, the elevator comes back to life. Lights come back on, and the elevator begins to move back upwards as before. When the door opens, Anne is about to step off when a man looks back at her on the other side of the doors. Looking fast, she confuses the man's face with EJ's, and slaps him hard across the face, repeatedly. ANNE: You disgusting bastard! --- In the hallway at Countess W, a pair of repairmen step off the elevator, tool kits and ladder in hand. RALPH: Hey Frank, so what's the deal with the ladder, man? I thought you broke it last week. Frank sets the ladder up by Abigail's office door. He goes to step onto the first rung, unconcerned by his co-worker's reminder, and grabs a small flashlight from his toolbelt. FRANK: Nah, I bent it slightly. Still holds up fine. I used it all day yesterday. Didn't even wobble. RALPH: Alright, but I figure it's as good as excuse to get a new one as anything. Boss might even expense it. Frank laughs as he climbs up, lifting the ceiling tile to check the wiring above. FRANK: Yeah, right. Since when'd the DiMeras ever do anything nice, man. RALPH: That's the truth. Ralph grabs a wrench and begins looking through his toolkit. Inside Abigail's office, Abby grimaces as she stands up, but EJ can't help but show his concern. EJ: Abigail, really. What on Earth is going on? ABBY: Just...ugh. I ate something I shouldn't have at lunch, it's no big deal, okay? EJ: Abigail, I really think you should go see a doctor about this. It's obviously been bothering you for weeks now. Abigail turns quickly to EJ, snapping at him. ABBY: Stop telling me what to do, EJ! I am not going to a doctor, there is nothing wrong, I'm fine, okay? Just...leave it alone. EJ: Leave what alone, Abigail? There's something you're not telling me and if it involves me then I need to know about it. Abigail stares off into space, imagining her mother chastizing her for getting involved with EJ. Her voice rings clearly in her head. JENN: I can't believe you're pregnant with EJ DiMera's baby, I'm so disappointed. My own daughter, letting me down... The face Abby sees becomes JJ's. JJ: My own sister, a DiMera slut... JJ's face morphs into Jack's, much to Abigail's terror. JACK: No daughter of mine would be so filthy as to... EJ: ABIGAIL! Abigail snaps back to reality upon hearing EJ. She looks up at him, almost terrorized. ABBY: I can't. I need some fresh air. I'm gonna be sick. Abigail storms out the door of her office, surprising Frank on the ladder, which knocks him off balance as the ladder buckles under the changing weight. It falls over, knocking Abigail and Frank down with it. Upon seeing the accident, EJ rushes to Abigail's side. Ralph runs over as well. RALPH: What the Hell happened??! EJ: Abigail! Abigail! Abigail lies unconscious on the floor. EJ leans over, holding her head in his hands, checking her vital signs. ---
  7. EPISODE 47 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson Billie sits at her desk at MadWorld, when a call comes in for her. After a second, Billie picks up. BILLIE (into phone): Yes, Paul? Excellent, send him in. A moment later, Paul, her secretary, ushers Roman Brady into her office. A smile is on his face. ROMAN: Billie! I got some news for you. And I think you will be really happy with the results. Billie smiles widely, itching to hear the news. --- Marlena knocks frantically on Kim's door. After knocking for a bit, Kim opens the door, confused by the frantic knock. KIM: Marlena! What's going on? I was just about to head o-- MARLENA: Oh Kim, I'm glad I found you. Marlena reaches for Kim's arm, the panic evident in her movements, which puts Kim on edge. KIM: Marlena! What's wrong, did something happen? Marlena stops herself, she lets go of Kim's arm and centres herself for a moment. MARLENA: Yes. I...I need you to come to the hospital with me. There's been an accident. Kim gasps quietly. She steps back into her apartment to grab her purse. She's prepared, almost as though she knew it was coming. KIM: It's Theresa, isn't it? Marlena nods as Kim hastily locks her apartment door. Kim presses the button on the elevator repeatedly, as though that would make it come faster. KIM: Oh God, let's go. Did you drive here? MARLENA: Yes, I'll meet you there. As they step in, Kim looks to Marlena. KIM: I'm almost afraid to ask...but...(sigh) What happened? Marlena looks to Kim empathetically as the doors close. --- Abigail is sitting at her desk at Countess W. She's trying to focus on her work, but all she can focus on is the letter from the hospital, saying she's pregnant. She tries in vain to refocus, but can't seem to see anything but the letter, though she continues to type. The word "pregnant" appears on her computer monitor, the result of her mistyping. She hits backspace, but the computer freezes and won't erase the word immediately. She jams on the key repreatedly in frustration, before slouching back in her chair. ABBY: What am I gonna do? Abby sits bolt upright as a voice calls out to her from the doorway of her office. EJ: About what, exactly? Abby hestitates to come up with an answer, looking like a deer caught in the headlights by EJ's question. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7-6YubuS4 --- Roman hands Billie the report he ran up on the flash drive. ROMAN: Turns out that not only was that used to connect to a device within Titan, but it also has some familiar fingerprints on it. Billie reads over the letter, a smile slowly building on her face. BILLIE: Sheryl Connors. ROMAN: You betcha. BILLIE: So we have what we need to nail her now, right? ROMAN: Not exactly. Billie's face drops at Roman's admission. BILLIE: What do you mean? You have the proverbial smoking gun in your hands. What's the problem? ROMAN: It's not enough, Billie. All this proves is that Sheryl had a flash drive in a computer inside an office she wasn't supposed to be in. The problem is that that drive had no contents, and no accessible files. Even for our techs. BILLIE: So we're back to square one. ROMAN: Not exactly. This is just the start. I think we'll be able to get them now, just need to wait just a little longer. Billie smiles at Roman, hoping he's onto something. --- Hope steps off the elevator at Titan, and as she steps off, sees Nick pass her by. She taps him on the shoulder, and waves as he looks over to her. NICK: Hope! Hey! How are you? Hope leans in for a hug, she smiles for a second, the first time since finding out about Brady's accident. As they separate from their hug, Hope's demeanour returns to a sombre state. Nick notices immediately. HOPE: I'm...alright. NICK: I kinda don't believe you. HOPE: Well...it's...I have some bad news I have to pass on to Victor and Maggie. NICK: Oh? Maggie's here? HOPE: Yeah! It's...(sigh) It's about Brady and Theresa. They...were in a pretty serious car accident and... Hope struggles to finish her thought and Nick puts a hand on her shoulder. NICK: Are they alright? Hope starts to tear up a bit. She shakes her head. HOPE: No. Theresa's in for surgery at the hospital and Brady...they...we can't find him. NICK: Wait, what? HOPE: Just...I'll explain later. Okay? NICK: Yeah, sure. Hope queezes Nick's hand before walking away, headed for Victor's office. Nick remains stoic until Hope is out of sight, then smirks and pulls out his trusty tablet. He sends Nicole, Jordan and Sheryl a message. I think we just hit the jackpot, folks NICK: Sorry, Vic. But it looks like your bad news is gonna be even worse after the Titan TV vote. Especially now. --- Kim and Marlena step off the elevator at University Hospital. Both are hurried and head directly for Kayla, who is standing at the Nurses' station. MARLENA: Kayla! Have you heard anything? KIM: How did the surgery go? Kayla stays collected, but stoic, as she looks into her sister's pleading eyes. KAYLA: We don't know much right now. All I can say is that Daniel's in there right now, finishing up the operation. She seems to be hanging on but...there could be severe brain trauma. She may be in a coma for a very long time. KIM: My God. My baby! Kayla steps away from the Nurses' station and gives Kim a big hug. The sisters stay locked in an extended embrace, as Marlena looks over to see Sami emerge from the opposite hallway. Sami sees Marlena with Kim and Kayla and heads over immediately, her face heavy with concern. SAMI: Aunt Kim, Aunt Kayla....Mom...Why...what's going on? KAYLA: Uh...Sami...there's been an accident. SAMI: What? What happened? KAYLA: Theresa and Brady. They drove off an embankment and into the river-- SAMI: Oh my God. How are they, what...how...? MARLENA: Sami, you just came from your appointment with Laura, just...go home and rest, I'll let you know what's going on as soon as I know, okay? SAMI: No way. I'm gonna stay right here. I'll let EJ know I'm cancelling my appointments for the day, and just...I need to be here for Brady. Marlena puts a hand on Sami's shoulder and looks intensely at her. She leans in and tells her quietly. MARLENA: Honey, Brady's not here. They...they can't find a body, the car's submerged in the river but... SAMI: Well that means he escaped, right? MARLENA: They said that, under the circumstances and the speed he was travelling, the chances are very low that he survived. Sami takes a step back, unable to soak in the information. She chokes back a bit, looking away from her mom. SAMI: I...I can't believe this. Marlena leans over and gives Sami a sustained hug, as Sami holds her mom tightly for comfort. Kim and Kayla look on, Kim holding her sister tightly, a saddened look in her eyes. --- Abby smiles cautiously at EJ. ABBY: Oh...uh...this...report. I...I can't figure out how to finish it up is all. EJ steps casually into Abigail's office. EJ: Well, I suggest taking a bit of a break and concentrating on yourself. You seem overworked. Abigail rolls her eyes at this dismissively, turning off her computer monitor. ABBY: EJ, I'm fine. I've just been under some pressure and learning a new job. It's not a big deal. EJ: Yes, well, I worry about you, you know. ABBY: Well, stop doing that. Focus on Sami. She needs you right now. EJ: Abigail, you're my employee, I have every right to be concerned about your well-being. Particualrly when it affects your work. ABBY: Well, don't, EJ. I will be fine. And technically, I'm working for Sami. You and I are done. Finished. I'm not risking any repeats, especially not here. EJ: I didn't mean that. EJ walks towards Abigail's desk and leans on it, staring her down intently. EJ: Abigail. What is wrong? --- Anne Milbauer steps onto the elevator at her apartment building, fuming from her earlier confrontation with EJ. She presses the button to her floor, then presses the close button repeatedly. The door closes and slowly ascends. 2nd floor. 3rd floor. ... The elevator stops, never reaching the 4th floor (Anne's floor). The lights dim in the elevator, throwing Anne off. The emergency light comes on, noting a power outage in the elevator. Anne presses the 4th floor button again repeatedly, hoping to jump start the elevator's movement. Her efforts are in vain. Suddenly a voice comes on through the speakers on the elevator. Instead of an emergency call, the sound the local news radio feed blares through the speakers. RADIO: ...local news, Titan CEO Brady Black was involved in a single-vehicle accident today on the north side of the city. Mr. Black's car careened off the edge of an embankment alongside the Salem River, and crashed into the river, where his body has yet to be recovered. His passenger, Theresa Donovan, is in a coma tonight at Salem University Hospital. The news of Theresa's accident stuns as causes Anne to panic. She screams out. ANNE: HELP! Get me out of here! HELP! After no one comes after a second or responds, she is overcome with a sense of dread. ANNE: EJ set this all up. He had Theresa run off the road. My God. And now he's after me. ---

  9. EPISODE 46 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson Abigail steps into the Horton living room, feeling groggy from the previous night's sleep. She looks in the mirror, studying the bags under her eyes, and thinks back to her tryst with EJ. She snaps herself out of it as Jenn walks in. JENNIFER: Hey, Honey. You heading for work soon? ABBY: Uh...yeah. Soon. Jenn's a bit concerned by Abby's drowsiness. She walks over to her, as Abby tries to pretend she's fine. JENNIFER: Honey, are you okay? ABBY: Yeah, Mom, I'm fine. JENNIFER: Are you sure? You've been so...down lately. ABBY: Well...what do you mean? JENNIFER: Well, you're tired all the time, you've put on weight, you're complaining about being sore when you get home from work. I mean, Abigail, you were never like this at the hospital. Are you sure you're enjoying working at Countess W? ABBY: Yeah! It's good. Jennifer isn't convinced, and presses some more, putting a hand on Abby's shoulder. JENNIFER: Really? You know, Abigail, you can tell me anyth-- Abby finally snaps at Jenn, and turns sharply to face her. ABBY: ...Yes, Mom! It's a great job, and I'm fine. Could you please just stop...badgering me. Abby turns away and runs up the stairs, leaving Jenn in the living room, dumfounded. --- Rafe and Jordan drive down the highway, heading away from Salem. Smiling, and enjoying the drive despite the heavy cloudcover. RAFE: Yeah, it's gonna rain soon. JORDAN: Well, we got at least a couple more hours to drive yet, so, at least we'll stay dry, right? RAFE: Yeah. You know, I'm really glad you and I could get away for the weekend and you finally get to meet my mom. She's...pretty excited to finally meet you. Jordan smiles at Rafe. JORDAN: I'm really excited to meet her. Anita sounds like a lovely woman. Jordan looks away, her smile fades as she thinks back to what Sheryl told her. *** JORDAN'S FLASHBACK Sheryl looks matter-of-factly at Jordan, and, almost without emotion, issues a stern warning. SHERYL: If you get involved with that cop, you keep it strictly business. You use him as an in to find out what you can about EnerNext, and we'll use that in to get what we need. Do not catch feelings, Kaylie. I'm serious. *** RAFE: You alright? Jordan snaps out of it, and turns to Rafe. She smiles again. JORDAN: Yeah. I'm fine, just...thinking about work. RAFE: Well, look. You've got a whole weekend to not think about work, so just...don't worry about it. JORDAN: That's not always the easiest thing, and you know it. Rafe takes Jordan's hand in his and quickly smiles at her, before looking back at the road. Jordan smiles back, feeling reassured. The rain begins to come down against the windshield. Jordan looks out ahead. As she looks out, she sees a clearing off the upcoming embankment, with a group of cars lining the shoulder. Looking closer, she sees someone lying down on the side of the road. JORDAN: Oh my God, Rafe. Pull over. RAFE: What the...? Rafe pulls over and Jordan jumps out, and he and Jordan jump from the car. Rafe walks over to where the people are gathered around the woman lying on the side of the road. RAFE: What happened here? A middle-aged man turns to Rafe and explains emphatically. MAN: I was driving up behind when I seen these two drive right off the edge of the road here and off into the lake. The girl here jumps out and the car went right off the edge, I was freakin' out, ya know? RAFE: What the... Looking down, he sees that the woman on the ground is Theresa. As Jordan leans down to check Jordan's vitals, Rafe immediately calls into the station. --- --- Sheryl and Nick are having something to eat at the Brady Pub. Discussing business, as per usual. Sheryl appears very pleased by Nick's news. SHERYL: I got to admit, Nick. You've really surprised me. NICK: Oh really? SHERYL: Yeah. I mean, I didn't expect you'd be such a good ally in all this, but...I mean, you've got the media eating out of your hand, you've got all the technology in the world at your fingertips, and you've got the key to prime real estate for the oil sands project in your control. I couldn't have asked for a better ally. NICK: And now that Brady is out as CEO, I think we'll finally be able to get Titan TV fully in our corner. And then the rest of Titan's house of cards will collapse right on cue. As Nick says this, Sheryl raises her glass to toast him. As they clink glasses, Gabi walks into the pub. She spots Nick and walks over. GABI: Nick! Hey! Sorry if I'm interrupting, do you have a moment? Nick turns and smiles at Gabi. Sheryl looks up, and smiles Gabi's way. SHERYL: Oh, don't mind me. I can make some calls. I need to take care of something anyway. If you'll excuse me. Sheryl gets up and courteously steps away, spotting Jordan quickly heading for the front door to enter the pub. Sheryl motions to Jordan to turn back around and stay outside. Jordan obliges and heads back into the pathway outside the pub, where Sheryl steps out and meets with her. SHERYL: I thought you and your cop were taking a "romantic getaway" this weekend. JORDAN: Well, we WERE, and then we stumbled upon what might be something huge to help us win this whole thing. No violence, no fight, nothing. Sheryl is in disbelief. She looks behind her to make sure no one is watching before turning back to Jordan. SHERYL: Okay, what is it? JORDAN: Theresa Donovan was in a car accident outside Salem. The car skidded and drove off an embankment and into the river, but Theresa managed to jump out before the car crashed. Sheryl looks side to side, confused and disinterested. SHERYL: What does that have to do with anything? JORDAN: Rafe is pretty certain he knows who was driving the car. SHERYL: Okay. Who? Jordan leans in closer, a bit of a sinister's happy look on her face. JORDAN: Brady Black. Sheryl's face cannot hide the surprise of the news. Her eyes pop out a bit as she chokes out a reply. SHERYL: What?? Inside, Gabi sits down across from Nick and smiles warmly. NICK: So, to what do I owe the pleasure? GABI: Well...I have something to ask you. NICK: Yeeeees? Nick leans in with interest as Gabi fights with everything in her not to recoil in terror, pretending to be at worst, pleasant, and at best, warm and engaging with Nick. She finally, after a few awkward seconds, gets up the courage to ask him. GABI: ...Did you want to maybe...have dinner with me tonight? NICK: Yes! I mean...absolutely, I'd love to. Uh...but where did this come from? GABI: Oh I just...it's nothing. I just...I thought about what you said, Nick, and...I agree. Nick looks on warmly, as though Gabi's his whole world. Gabi is a bit more reticent. GABI: ...And I think that you've been....so good with this whole....living situation and...really great with Will and Sonny, and of course with Arianna. NICK: I...love that little girl so much. As if she were my own flesh and blood. Gabi smiles, she takes a moment before contining her thought. GABI: So I wanted to thank you.And how better than a little...date between us. Gabi cringes a bit as the thought of another date with Nick, but she hides it. NICK: Okay, but only if I get to be the one to pay for it. You're not exactly a Rockafeller, you know. GABI: (laughs) I know. (short sigh) Fine, it's a deal. Gabi extends her hand to Nick, a cute smirk on her face, and the two shake. --- Tyler and Maggie break their handshake as the door to Victor's office opens and Victor returns. He looks up and sees both Maggie and Tyler in his office. VICTOR: Ah! Tyler. Excellent. I see you've met my wife. Tyler clears his throat, and nods graciously to Maggie. TYLER: Indeed I have. You're both very fortunate people. Maggie is lovely. VICTOR: Well, thank you. I'd like to think after this many tries at marriage, I'd at least get one right. Now, is this the paperwork on how we'll be handling the switching over from Brady's control to mine? TYLER: Uh...yes. MAGGIE: Wait...you've taken over Titan from Brady. Victor looks up from his desk, hesitant to share this news with Maggie. VICTOR: Yes, there was a meeting this morning. Brady needs to enter rehab. He can't run a company in the state he's in. MAGGIE: You were all gung ho about this before, what changed your mind. VICTOR: Theresa Donovan and that video she filmed of Brady doing lines of cocaine in some seedy club, then immediately shared it with every vulgar celebrity tabloid she could think of. Something needs to be done. MAGGIE: So it's damage control for Titan? VICTOR: No! It just makes sense to do it this way. Either way, we've got important business to discuss, Maggie, sit down. Tyler, thank you. TYLER: No problem, Vic. And, uh...it was lovely to meet you, Mrs. Kiriakis. Maggie looks up as Tyler extends a hand once again. She smiles and shakes his hand gently. MAGGIE: Likewise. Victor is consumed by his work and pays no mind to the goings-on before him. Once Tyler leaves, Victor launches into his plan. VICTOR: Okay, let's get down to business. MAGGIE: Business? VICTOR: Yes. I wanted to give you an anniversary gift...have a look. Victor places before Maggie a paper, a proposal to re-open the Penthouse Grille, and naming Maggie as majority owner. A wide smile of surprise and disbelief crosses Maggie's face as she reads. --- Abigail stands in her room, changing into her work clothes after a shower. She's deep in thought. She stops and notices herself in her full-length mirror. She's wearing a towel across her body and one over her head to help dry her hair. Looking in the mirror, Abby analyses every curve in her body. Stretch marks that weren't there before. She runs her fingers along her thighs and to her lightly protruding belly. She stops. As if something is hurting her, she recoils her hands away from her stomach. She stares at her stomach with an intense and distressed look, and tries to suck it in. When this doesn't yield the desired result, Abby takes the towel on her head and uses it to cover the mirror. She walks over to her vanity, which has a letter on top from University Hospital. The letter is not, however, about her job there. The letter, dated July 14, 2014, notes that Abby is at approximately 4 months pregnant, and that UH has confirmed her appointments with her OBGYN. Abigail looks over the letter carefully, a look of sickness across her face. She crumples up the letter and throws it across the room, after which she holds her head in her hands, trying to fight back tears. ABBY: Damn you, EJ. Damn, damn, damn you! --- Hope and Rafe are investigating the scene of the accident. The rain complicates their investigation, but they remain unfazed, though Hope is obviously concerned. She walks over to Rafe, who's just stepped away from the edge of the embankment, where he was talking to another investigator. HOPE: So what's the word on the car? RAFE: Well...they pulled it from the river, and they're just running the plates now to see whose it is. No driver inside. Seems Theresa opening the door may have helped whoever it was out. There's a chance the driver may be alive. Hope looks over at the car being towed away from the scene. She looks at it with a look of recognition. Suddenly the lightbulb goes off. HOPE: Oh my God. That's...that's Brady's car. RAFE: You sure? HOPE: Yeah, I see him drive that same one all the time with the cobra on the side. I mean, I don't know a lot about cars but...I'd know it anywhere. It's his baby. Damn it! I just...I was...we have to contact John and...oh my God... RAFE: It's okay. I know. As Hope's emotions begin to take over, Rafe puts a comforting hand on Hope's shoulder. --- The elevator doors open at University Hospital as Theresa is wheeled into the Emergency Ward. The doctors and nurses kick into action as her unconscious body is wheeled into a room, as the doctors' talk in medical jargon. Daniel, having been paged from his office, darts over to Theresa's bedside, ready to jump into action. He asks Maxine questions as he heads over. DANIEL: What've we got? MAXINE: Accident victim, thrown from a car just before it drove off an embankment. Patient is unconscious, with major fractures to her ribs, two broken arms, and a broken leg. Possible head trauma as well. DANIEL: Thanks, Maxine. Let's have a look at he-- When he looks down, realizing who his patient is. He is stunned. DANIEL: Oh. My. God. ---
  10. Epiphany's right. Felix is too good for all that crap. But somehow I know he'll end up right back with Brad. I see sparks between Maya and Shawn. Too bad Edward isn't alive to make smart-ass remarks about how awful they would be for each other. I guess that's Tracy's job now? A double wedding, hm? Sounds like potential for major drama. Love it.
  11. This wedding is going great already. So much happening. The families coming together, and all this drama going down. I love it. Felicia, John, Mitch and Sharlene is a mess. A wonderful mess. I am really enjoying this whole situation. Gregory is being so awful, but I can't wait to see how much worse he can get, because we know he will. Hahha. Great family scenes with everyone helping get Charlie ready, and I love how Jake and Vicky are slowly rebuilding that bridge between them. Very good. Baby steps are the way. Awesome stuff, Cary!
  12. You've picked up a knack for comedy, Cary. There was some great lines all through this episode. I loved Cecile sniffing the envelope, and Grant and Christy's scene was excellent. You've done a fantastic job with those scenes, and how great to find out that Maggie is actually a Winthrop. This could get very juicy. I can't wait for the wedding, will Scott show up? Oooo, that could get dramatic. And I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Reginald either. Fantastic episode all around. I know the next one will be just as great. GOOD WORK, SIR!
  13. EPISODE 45 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson Sami steps off the elevator at University Hospital, and grabs her cell phone, she makes a quick call to her secretary at Countess W. SAMI: (into phone) Yes, Jessica? It's Sami. Look, if you can cancel my appointments for the morning, I'll be in an important meeting...Thanks. I'll let you know when I'm heading back. Bye. Sami hangs up as she approaches Dr. Laura Horton's door. She sighs heavily before stepping inside. --- EJ arrives back at the DiMera mansion, on his cell phone with somebody. He is focused and serious with them as he heads directly into the now-empty living room. EJ: (into phone) So she should be contacting you shortly. I want you to make sure you have that exact medication ready for her...precisely...alright. Call me when it's done. EJ hangs up the phone, a smirk develops across his face. EJ: One way to squash a fly... EJ's smug moment of satisfaction is interrupted by the sound of an argument in the foyer between Harold and a person at the door. EJ's curiosity piqued, he heads for the door. Anne is at the door, enraged, while Harold tries to keep her at bay. ANNE: You WILL let me in because I have something very important to share with Mr. DiMera and if you think that-- EJ: Ms. Milbauer. How lovely to see you. Come in. Harold takes a step back, while Anne smiles a phony "gotcha" smile to Harold, and steps forward towards EJ. --- Theresa walks through the path towards the University Hospital parking lot. She's uneasy, and deep in thought about her actions the previous night in Chicago. She looks at her phone and reads the news reports about Brady's ousting at Titan. She feels regretful, but flashes back to seeing the couple that appeared to be Brady and Chloe kissing at the party. THERESA: You deserved it, Brady. You and that little oompa-loompa of yours. Just then, Brady pulls up in his car. He looks exhausted and wired. He glares at Theresa with an intensity and anger that Theresa isn't used to from him. BRADY: Get in. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7-6YubuS4 --- Tyler steps into Victor's office, while looking down at a file folder with paperwork. He knocks as he opens the door, but steps right in without concern. TYLER: Victor, I think we need to go over the details of your succession plan, iron out the details so we're covered with regards to Brady...oh. Upon looking up, Tyler realizes that Victor is not the one in the office, but Maggie. She turns around the face Tyler, smiling warmly. MAGGIE: You know, I'd heard of married couples starting to look the same over time, but this is ridiculous. Tyler is taken aback, feeling a bit sheepish for his error, but Maggie gives a cheeky smile, before extending a hand in greeting. MAGGIE: I'm Maggie Kiriakis. TYLER: Pleasure to meet you. Tyler extends his hand in greeting, the two linger a little too long in shaking hands. --- Anne storms into the DiMera living room, as EJ motions to Harold. Harold nods and heads for the kitchen. EJ steps into the room casually, as though he knows exactly what's going on. Anne is visibly agitated, and ready for a fight. EJ: And what can I help you with, Ms. Milbauer? Anne reaches into her bag and slaps the freezer bag containing the suspect letter against EJ's chest. ANNE: Either you're really bad at intimidating me, or this is more of your macabre DiMera humour. Seriously, EJ? Suspiciously powdered letters? EJ takes the bag and opens it, casually pulling the letter out of the bag, and opening it, as he speaks, he pulls the letter out to show Anne, while dusting it off. EJ: I confess, I was not at the office this morning when this was sent to you. I was working from home on the fundraising for the hospital for you, and when the delivery man arrived, I'd already begun baking cookies with the children. As EJ says this, Harold strolls into the room with a platter of cookies. EJ hands the letter over to Anne, who looks it over suspciously, before looking up at EJ, who has taken two cookies from the platter. EJ: I was unable to clean my hands so I'm sorry for the uhh...heh, baking powder all over the letter. Uh...would you like a cookie? The children worked very hard on them. Anne looks down at the cookie, and shakes her head. ANNE: You really must think I'm an idiot. Like I'm gonna take cookies from you, you know you're really a sick man. EJ: Oh come on, Ms. Milbauer, it's not like they're poisoned. See? EJ takes one of the cookies and takes a big bite from it. He smiles, and holds his arms out almost victoriously. EJ: See? I'm fine! I don't know why you're so paranoid, Ms. Milbauer. At this point, Anne is livid and steps towards EJ menacingly. ANNE: You know exactly why I'm suspicious of you, EJ. And don't chalk it up to paranoia. You have the audacity to threaten me, and then play these ridiculous, childish pranks in order to scare me out of town so your little affair with Little Miss Sunshine doesn't get found out? You think I'm that stupid? I know it was you sending someone to follow me last night, to freak me out? EJ: I did no such thing... ANNE: I know you sent me that letter today with the suspicious powder to make me think it was some kind of poison, and I know those cookies are just your way of making me think I'm losing my mind, or at the very least to discredit me. And you know what? It's not going to work. Because you don't have the balls to actually follow through on any of your threats. You have too much to lose. So stop with the little warning shots, because I know you. You'll all talk, and no walk. Excuse me. Anne backs away from EJ, grabs her bag and heads off towards the door, grabbing a cookie from the tray on the way out. She tastes one, stopping before she's out the door. She turns to face EJ with a sour look on her face as she chews it. ANNE: Mm...some advice? Never open a bakery. Anne turns back around and heads out the door, throwing the cookie out into the bushes as she goes. EJ laughs to himself as Anne closes the door. --- Sami steps into Laura's office. She appears incredibly tense, and Laura can instantly sense this in her. Laura motions for Sami to sit down in a chair on the other side of Laura's desk. Sami obliges. SAMI: Thanks. I'm...so glad to see you. It's been a really long time. LAURA: Likewise. Your mother showed me pictures of your children the last time she visited me. They're beautiful. Sami tenses a bit, thinking of her hesitation with Johnny the previous week, as she finally began to come to grips with his conception. She responds less than happily. SAMI: Uh...thank you...you know, I've hired your granddaughter, Abigail. She's been...really helpful to me at Countess W. LAURA: I'm glad. It's such a shame she had problems here at the hospital. I was hoping we could work together, but... SAMI: Yeah. Some people just don't get along, I guess. LAURA: I suppose...look, Sami. I noticed your tension when I mentioned your children just now. Are they doing okay? Sami hesitates to answer for a moment, but smiles and forms an answer. SAMI: Yes, they're fine. I just...we had some... LAURA: Sami, are you worried you're disconnecting from your children? Sami stops and thinks for a second. She nods to Laura hesitantly. SAMI: And it's not just that. I...the other night, EJ and I fought and...he brought up the night that...Johnny, my youngest son, the night he was....conceived and... LAURA: Sami, is Johnny's conception a happy memory for you? Sami looks to the ground. She tries in vain to fight back tears as she struggles to answer Laura. She finally chokes out an answer, barely audible. SAMI: No. And I'm...I'm afraid of... LAURA: What are you afraid of, Sami? Sami swallows, and breathes deeply. After a moment, she finally answers. SAMI: I'm afraid I'm going to push him away...because when I look at Johnny now...I see what happened that night, and not my beautiful little boy anymore...and I can't...I need help, Laura. --- Gabi walks through the park, trying to look inconspicuously for someone. She sits down on the bench and begins to check her texts. EJ's text instructs her to wait on the bench at 3pm for a gentleman. Not describing him any further, Gabi's unsure what to look for. GABI: Real helpful, EJ. Just as she says this, a man sits down on the bench next to her, and quietly speaks. MAN: You Gabi? Gabi looks over at the man, and nods. GABI: You have it? MAN: It's all yours. The man hands her a small pill bottle, as discreetly as possible. Gabi looks up at him, while looking around to see if anyone else is looking. She slips the pills into her bag, and the man looks her intensely. It's Liam. LIAM: And remember, you've never seen me before, and you won't recognize me if you see me again. If you need anything else, contact EJ. Gabi stares nervously at him, and nods, before grabbing her bag and taking off. --- Brady drives aggressively down the road. Theresa sits next to him in his car, visibly nervous. So nervous, in fact, she can barely look over at him, nearly transfixed on the road. THERESA: So...Brady. BRADY: I thought we could go for a drive....have a little talk. You and I. THERESA:oh...oh yeah? What about? BRADY: Well, what happened to you last night when you left the party...you know I wanted to find you. THERESA: Ohh yeah? Brady looks at Theresa and smiles. BRADY: Yeah. I wanted to surprise you. I was gonna rent out the biggest suite at that hotel across the street you loved so much. You know, you said it was so glamourous, and you just...you wish you could spend one night there. THERESA: You...you would do that for me? BRADY: Yes. Yes, I would. And I almost did too. But I couldn't find you...or my credit card. So I ended up going back to Salem where I find out that my company credit card, there's this...$200-plus cab fare on it. And it's funny because, the charge was made around the same time I went looking for you at the club. THERESA: Look, Brady, I-- Brady's anger is starting to creep into his voice, his motions becoming ever more staccato, as his foot presses harder on the gas. The car enters the highway leaving Salem. BRADY: You know, then this video is online of me...doing cocaine. And it's like...it's so funny, it's at that same time when you were trying to take a selfie and you were too drunk to figure out your phone? Such a weird coincidence, huh? Brady's foot presses more and more on the accelerator, as the car pushes up towards 70, 75, 80mph. Theresa holds onto the grip on the door tightly. THERESA: B...Brady, slow down. Brady is looking straight ahead, barely even acknowledging Theresa's existence. BRADY: Why? THERESA: Well...well the speed limit, Brady is-- BRADY: Do you honestly think I care right now? Like...at all? Do you think what you want matters to me right now? THERESA: Brady, you're scaring me. Brady starts to pay closer attention to Theresa now, but it is mostly anger he shows her as he intermittently divides his attention between her and the road before him. BRADY: Do you think I'm scared? Huh? Do you think I can feel anything right now? THERESA: Brady, what are you talking about? BRADY: What do I have now, Theresa? Think about it for a second, yeah? I just lost my job, my reputation is ruined, the woman I thought I was getting to know and care about, she double-crosses me because she's so damned insecure about me being able to be nice to my ex-wife. Every single woman I ever get involved with betrays me. My family hates me. Tell me, Theresa. What do I have to live for now? Tell me. THERESA: Okay, okay, Okay-- BRADY:...TELL ME! Do you get it? THERESA: Okay! I'm sorry, Brady, would you PLEASE slow down. Brady takes his eyes off the road now entirely, and begins to lean in closer and closer to Theresa. His speed is now reaching 85mph. BRADY: Ohhhh no. You don't get it, do you? I want you to listen to me for once. No distractions. No one around to watch you to see the glamourous life you're living off my back. Just you, finally facing the person you are. The despicable, self-absorbed piece of street trash you really are-- Theresa looks away from Brady. 90mph. Theresa looks up and sees a sharp turn in the road ahead, she panicks and screams out. THERESA: BRADY, LOOK OUT! Brady looks up and tries to steer into the turn while slamming on the brakes. Theresa, in a moment of quick thinking, pulls her door open and leaps from the vehicle, but due to the speed the car is travelling at, she is knocked unconscious and severely injured immediately upon impacting the ground. Brady's car skids off the road and drives through the barrier, off the side of the embankment, into the lake below. ---
  14. EPISODE 44 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson Eric stands in Nicole's hotel room, studying the newspaper she just handed him. Eric is in disbelief at the headline. TITAN'S BRADY BLACK DRUG SCANDAL Nicole hesitates to reach out for Eric, looking at the pained expression on Eric's face. She finally steps to his side, putting her hands on Eric's shoulders. ERIC: This is all my fault. NICOLE: What?! No! How could you even think that? Eric flinches a bit at Nicole's touch, causing Nicole to jump back a little. Eric turns to her, a look of pain in his eyes. As Eric speaks, the anger in his voice mounts. ERIC: It's true. If I hadn't been so trusting of Kristen and encouraged her to marry Brady, worked with her. I saw good in that woman and...look what she's done to us? Nicole steps back, in part sympathy but in fear of Eric's mounting anger. --- Nick steps into the lab at Titan, where Percy is working on some paperwork. Nick is beaming with glee as he walks with his tablet in hand. NICK: Percy, I have the best news you'll hear all week. Percy turns to face Nick, perked up by the tone in Nick's voice. PERCY: Well, I do love a bit of good news. NICK: We may be one step closer to getting EnerNext off your back. Nick holds up his tablet, which shows the SalemSpectator.com's article for Brady's drug scandal. NICK: And with Stefano's help, it shouldn't be long now. Percy smiles while looking over the article quickly, then looking up to Nick with a grateful smile across his face. --- EJ turns to Stefano, knowing that helping Gabi probably has something to do with Nick. He almost speaks, then turns back to Gabi. EJ: Gabriella, I do believe we should find somewhere else to talk. Uh...Father's somewhat busy with business matters at the moment. I, myself, was just about to step out. Maybe...maybe we could have a nice brunch today. My treat. Gabi looks up at EJ, then to Stefano. Gabi's constant state of panic makes her appear confused by EJ, but eventually she appears to clue in and nods her head in agreement. GABI: Sure. I...The Brady Pub okay? EJ: Excellent. Come with me, I'll drive. EJ takes Gabi by the arm and quickly steps out of the house. Stefano smiles, knowing what Gabi is likely concerned about is Nick. Outside, EJ closes the door, looks around cautiously, and whispers emphatically to Gabi. EJ: I need you to do me a favour and not come back to this house without calling first. GABI: What do you mean? EJ: I mean, we can't be too careful. Particularly where my father's concerned. Never, ever trust that man. GABI: You make it sound like he's up to something, he isn't up to something, is he? EJ Thankfully, no. But with all that's happened the last little while, it wouldn't surprise me if he did. Be. Careful. --- Anne walks into the hospital lab and hands the lab tech the freezer bag containing the powder-covered letter DiMera sent her. ANNE: I want you to run tests on this. Find out what's on it, and report it back only to me, immediately. The lab tech, a somewhat and intimidated clueless young man, looks up at Anne with concern. TECH: But what if it's dangerous? I mean this looks like it's got some stuff on it, it could be-- Anne rolls her eyes, clearly lacking patience for this exchange. She interrupts him midway through his dopey dissertation. ANNE: ...Then wear gloves. Just find out what it is right away, or your entire department will be finding the dangers of the unemployment line. Got it? Anne storms off, leaving the confused lab tech with the envelope. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KZsiMhziRI --- Brady stands in the doorway of the Titan board room, a look of terror across his face. He stammers in disbelief at what Victor has just announced. BRADY: Yo...you....you're not serious. VICTOR: Unfortunately, I'm dead serious, Brady. You need help. BRADY: But...but...Grandfather, I can't-- VICTOR: ...Brady this isn't the time or place for this. Brady steps into the board room. He looks around the room at the faces of the board members, hoping to get through to them as he speaks. BRADY: No! No, this is the place. Before this entire board...of...people who claim to support me, and my decisions. Brady looks around, sauntering with a simmering anger around the board room. BRADY: You...you are a room of backstabbing vultures. That's what you are. You come here, after weeks of telling me "we support you, Brady", "you're doing such great work, Brady". And I have to hear about my own firing on the RADIO! VICTOR: Brady, that's enough! The board is doing the right thing. You need help more than you need to be running this company. BRADY: Right, and just when did you become a doctor, Granddad? When did you decide when people are ready for rehab? VICTOR: Brady, you have a problem. And now the whole world knows it. This is damage control. Our shares have dropped another 15% just this morning, and it's thanks to you and whoever shared that video. Brady suddenly stops. He turns to Victor in confusion. BRADY: Video? VICTOR: Yes, how the Hell else did you think the entire world knew about your drug habit. Someone sent a video of you at that swishy club in Chicago, doing lines off someone's tablet or something. Brady remembers back to Theresa fumbling with her phone at the club. *** FLASHBACK TO DAYS OF OUR LIVES #39 Theresa fumbles with her phone, trying to flip the phone around to use the flash, but ends up reversing which lens is in use, and begins recording a video of Brady as he does the line of cocaine from the table. Theresa, not sure why the camera isn't working, flips the phone back around in frustration. THERESA: Ugh, this damned phone. Never...oh... BRADY: What? THERESA: Nothing. Stupid camera was on the wrong function, just... BRADY: It didn't get a shot of me, did it? THERESA: I can't even tell. Nothing's working right. BRADY: Theresa, remember what we said about you being careful? THERESA: Look who's talking. Mr. Doing-a-line-in-front-of-200-people. God, just chill out, okay? No one saw anything. BRADY: There's a difference between a bunch of drunk Chicago socialites seeing me do a line and your friends and family in Salem seeing it because your girlfriend couldn't figure her cell phone out. *** Brady's eyes light up with the realization that it had to have been Theresa that threw him under the bus. BRADY: Oh my God. VICTOR: Finally! He sees the light. BRADY: I...I gotta go. I'm sorry, everyone, I...I have to take care of something. Brady makes a beeline for the door of the conference. Victor turns to call him back, concerned by what he may do next. VICTOR: Brady! Brady! Get back here! Victor stops as the doors to the board room close behind Brady. --- Nicole stands behind a reeling Eric. Unsure what to do to console him, she puts a hand gently on his shoulder. When Eric doesn't flinch, she feels safe to rest her hand there more firmly. NICOLE: You can't blame yourself for what Kristen did. You're a priest. You guys kinda have this thing about turning the other cheek and forgiveness. You saw a light in Kristen. You wanted to bring out the goodness in her. And she-- Eric turns around abruptly, his anger flaring up again, causing Nicole to jump back a bit. ERIC: ...And she destroyed my faith in forgiveness. Nicole, it's like part of the very fabric of doing God's work...and I can't even bring myself to do it for my own greivences. NICOLE: I think being drugged and raped goes a bit beyond a grievence, but... Eric turns away from Nicole, hoping to avoid crying in her line of sight. His plan fails. ERIC: But it's made me question so much about my life. My vocation. I mean...what kind of just God would do what has been done to my family, to myself. If this is a test...how many more trials do I need to go through before I finally am able to smile again, Nicole? Nicole struggles to find words. She begins to cry a bit herself. --- Anne sits at her desk at University Hospital when the lab tech from before walks into her office. Anne looks up, expectantly. The lab tech is nervous approaching the imposing HR woman. TECH: I, uh...Mrs. Mil-- ANNE: ...MS. Milbauer. Mrs. Milbauer is my mother-in-law's name, and if you want to be down one tongue, you keep using that name. The tech stops dead in his tracks, even more nervous than before. TECH: Big fan, then? ANNE: Huge. What have you got for me? Is the testing done? TECH: Uhh...YES! Suddenly remembering he has the results in his hand, he hands the report over to Anne, who brusquely grabs it from him. ANNE: Thank you. TECH: I have the...uh... ANNE: THANK YOU! TECH: Okay, bye! The tech hastily walks out of Anne's office. Anne opens the file as the door shuts behind him. As she reads the file, Anne beams with delight. ANNE: You son of a bitch. You're bluffing. --- EJ and Gabi sit at a table in the Brady Pub. They sip their coffee together quietly, hoping to avoid arousing suspicion. Gabi is doing a typically awful job at this. GABI: ...So I need you to do something about Nick. After what he told Rafe last night, I'm afraid to be anywhere near him. I'm worried what he's going to do next. EJ: Gabriella, I think you overestimate the power this man has. He's clearly lost his mind, but you need to stop panicking. This will only make things worse. Gabi is visibly nervous, hands shaking her cup of coffee in front of her. EJ puts his hand over hers, causing Gabi to realize how off-kilter she is. GABI: I know. I know, you're right. But, I just...I can't shake the feeling that Nick's gonna find a way to...I don't even know what he's gonna do. I'm scared, EJ. EJ: What do you want me to do, Gabi? GABI: You've got to stop him. Like, I wish he never got out of prison. EJ takes a second to think, and looks over at the table to the left of Gabi, looking at the day's Salem Spectator, featuring the headline about Brady's drug scandal. His face lights up. EJ: I think I might know just what we can do. --- Nick walks down the hallway at Titan, heading for Sheryl's office. He knocks on the doorframe, seeing her at work at her desk. Sheryl recognizes him immediately, and barely looks up from her computer screen. SHERYL: What do you want, Nick? NICK: To share the good news with you. SHERYL: I heard. So what's our next move. NICK: Time to watch Brady Black self-destruct. Hopefully it happens before the Titan TV vote, and then Titan's poisoned influence over this town will be over. Sheryl looks up at Nick, a pleased look across her face. --- Theresa walks through Town Square, deep in thought, when her phone rings. She pulls it out of her purse and checks who it is, half-hoping it's Brady, but usure if she would answer if it is. It's Anne. Theresa rolls her eyes and answers. THERESA: (into phone) What do you want? ... Anne sits at her desk, using her office phone. ANNE: (into phone) A warmer greeting for a start. ... THERESA: Sorry, I'm just...I'm waiting on a call, kay? Can this wait? ... ANNE: No. It can't. I've got something important to tell you. ... THERESA: Okay, well, say it fast, I don't have a lot of time, I'm busy. ... ANNE: Cut the snark, okay? I'm really getting sick of-- ... THERESA: Anne! I'm waiting for Brady to call. I don't have time for this. ... ANNE: Hey! Cool it, little lady. Look, you remember our little...situation with sweet little Abby Deveraux, right? ... Theresa rolls her eyes at the thought of Abigail. THERESA: Yyyyep! ... ANNE: Well...turns out EJ DiMera knows what's going on, and he's a little pissed off. He's been trying to rile me up the last week or so, and he's using some pretty lame tricks to do it. So if you happen to run into him, or feel like anything weird's going on, you just let me know, and take it with a grain of salt, okay? ... THERESA: Noted. K, bye. Theresa hangs up the phone, having been totally disinterested in Anne's little piece of lame gossip. Just as she does, she gets a text. She checks it. It's from Brady. Meet me @ UH parking lot in 10, need 2 talk Theresa is concerned by Brady's text, and rushes off to meet him. --- Brady, sitting in his car, puts his phone away, cleans up the cocaine residue off the tablet on the car dashboard in front of him, and revs the engine of his car, then heads off to meet Theresa at UH. ---
  15. Another fabulous episode. I LOVED Felicia and Mitch's confrontation. Go Felicia. The whole scene played very well, I could see it on a TV screen. Very honest. Mitch is not right here, and is very insecure in his relationship with Felicia. Also loved KC/Etta Mae/Toni. That was a very well-constructed scene and so on point. It's gonna play out for awhile and those emotions will be raw for KC, I can't wait to see what direction this influences her to go. Straight to Reginald? Speaking of Reggie, the confrontation on the plane should be epic. Can't wait for that. Charlie's wedding's coming! Frankie and Cass are so sweet together. I love that you can write very simple family scenes an weave them in so well. It's a talent, for sure! GREAT work!
  16. EPISODE 43 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson The morning edition of the Salem Spectator falls in front of Nicole's door at the hotel. Shortly thereafter, Nicole opens the door and picks it up, while clutching her morning coffee. Upon opening the rolled-up paper and seeing the headline, she drops her mug. The headline: TITAN'S BRADY BLACK DRUG SCANDAL --- Brady's alarm goes off to the sound of the radio blasting a news report. Initially, Brady is groggy, but as he listens to the report, he wakes up fast. RADIO: ...Brady Black's head may be on the chopping block at Titan today after video footage collected by gossip site A2Z shows Black, highly intoxicated and openly doing lines of cocaine at a Chicago club. This comes just weeks after the disasterous announcement that Titan was acquiring oil and gas firm EnerNext in a multi-billion dollar deal. Executives at Titan are currently in an emergency meeting to discuss the future of Mr. Black's tenure as CEO-- Brady shuts the radio off and lies back in bed, a look of horror in his eyes. --- Victor calls the meeting to order, a flurry of activity in the room as the board members take their seats. Kate, Lucas, Tyler, Billie, and Victor are joined by three other board members, as they slowly come to order. Kate sits between Lucas and Billie, and leans toward them, speaking quietly. KATE: I guess our hot mess CEO finally got a little sloppy where people can see. Victor stands at the end of the table. He sounds exhausted, without his usual fire. VICTOR: This meeting will come to order. As you've probably heard, we have a bit of a crisis on our hands. My grandson has become involved in some things that will put into question every business decision this company has made and will make in the coming weeks, and I propose a solution that will allow us to retain those contracts, and salvage our image. But I will need your help. --- Stefano is sitting in the living room of the DiMera mansion, going over paperwork. EJ is standing pensively in the doorway, almost looking right past Stefano. He walks into the room slowly, a coffee cup in hand. EJ: Good morning, Father. Stefano looks up, pleased to see EJ. STEFANO: Elvis! Good morning, my son. I was just looking over the news. EJ: Regarding whom? STEFANO: Brady Black. Looks like you aren't the only one who is getting sloppy in your business. Stefano takes the newspaper and flops it down on the table before EJ. EJ studies the headline carefully. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KZsiMhziRI --- EJ looks up from the paper, still a bit taken aback by the headline. EJ: You know, this was bound to happen. I mean, Brady Black has always had a substance abuse problem. Frankly, I don't even know why this is scandalous anymore. STEFANO: Or why Victor Kiriakis is dumb enough to continue to keep him in the family business. Which reminds me, you might want to be a little more careful in your future extra-curricular activities, if you know what I mean. EJ rolls his eyes, and closes the doors to the living room before responding. EJ: Alright, Father. I know you want to talk about this, so have at it. Gloat at how my relationship with Samantha is falling apart around my ears and how much better off I am without her. STEFANO: I don't have to, you just did. EJ: But that's the thing. You're just so happy that this has happened, you can't bear it. So tell me. How'd you find out about it, hm? Stefano wordlessly shuffles some papers around, before opening his desk drawer. He pulls out a green envelope and hands it to EJ. EJ: What on Earth is that? STEFANO: Something an associate of mine has been working on. You may be interested in it. EJ frowns in confusion, before opening the envelope. Inside is a picture of EJ and Abigail in a passionate kiss at the cabin on Smith Island. EJ is stunned by this discovery. --- Anne steps groggily to the doorway of her apartment. A long night after her run-in with Daniel's car, and a lack of sleep have left her visibly tired. She notices a letter addressed to her on the floor. She goes to grab it, and feels as she picks up the envelope, an unusual texture to the paper. It feels rough, almost like sandpaper...but loose, as though unattached to the paper itself. A sort of powdery texture is across the letter, and Anne reluctantly feels it across her fingertips, as she recalls EJ's threat against her the previous evening. EJ: Are you seriously going to threaten me? EJ walks closer to Anne, as Anne leans against her desk. They both have a guarded appearance, almost trying to seem more imposing than the other. ANNE: Well, it seems to me that I hold the cards here. And we all know how hard you're trying to be a "good man" now. So, what exactly are you going to threaten me with? EJ: I just want to remind you of what historically has happened to those who decide to meddle in the affairs of the DiMera family. It doesn't end well for them. Suddenly, after spending a moment studying the envelope, she drops it in revulsion. She looks at the envelope on the ground. The DiMera Enterprises crest, the Phoenix, on the top corner next to the return address. ANNE: That bastard. That sick, twisted bastard. --- Jenn brings in the morning paper, and heads into the living room, where Abigail is fully dressed for work. She seems in a haze, which Jennifer notices. JENNIFER: Hey, Abigail. Ready for work, Sweetie? ABIGAIL: Ready as I'll ever be. JENNIFER: How are you liking working at Countess W so far? Is the glamourous world of makeup as exciting as you thought it'd be? Abigail doesn't even crack a smile at Jenn's comment. She glumly looks down at the table, filing away the last papers into her new bag. ABIGAIL: Ohhh Glamourous is not a word I would use to describe this job, Mom. Now 'stress', THAT is a word I would use. JENNIFER: Already? I mean, you've only been there a few weeks, honey. Any new job is gonna be stressful. ABIGIAL: This, this is a completely different kind of stress. JENNIFER: You having to work so closely with EJ? Abigail looks up at Jenn, stunned for a moment. ABIGAIL: Huh? Jenn puts a sympathetic hand on Abigail's shoulder. JENNIFER: Abigail, I understand. It's still fresh, the pain that EJ and Chad caused you. It's alright, though. Just work your hardest and you'll be able to move on one day. ABIGAIL: Oh. Yeah. I hope so. JENNIFER: You're stronger than you think, honey. I mean, come on, you're my daughter, and Jack Deveraux's daughter, for crying out loud. Some skinny DiMera kid isn't gonna ruin your life, is he? Abigail finally smiles a bit, and looks over at her mom lovingly. ABIGIAL: Thanks, Mom. Jenn kisses Abigail goodbye, but Abigail notices the headline of the newspaper Jenn dropped on the coffee table, and is shocked, pointing at the newspaper. ABIGAIL: Oh my God. Mom, do you think Theresa had anything to do with this? JENNIFER: I don't know, honey. But I do know Brady's been getting himself into enough trouble without her help lately. But I wouldn't be surprised if Theresa is part of the blame. --- Nicole is in her hotel room, cleaning up the coffee she spilt on herself when Eric comes to her door. Noticing the door is slightly ajar, he pushes it open. ERIC: Nicole! What happened? NICOLE: I spilled coffee all over my robe. Thankfully it's not mine or I'd be pitching a fit right now. Eric smiles at Nicole as he steps into her room. NICOLE: Stop that, it's not funny. ERIC: What, are you that clumsy in the morning? Do we need to give you sippy cup until you've had a couple cups? Eric puts his hands on Nicole's shoulders, laughing at his own jokes. Nicole rolls her eyes, but really doesn't mind Eric's teasing. NICOLE: I'm fine. I just...I read something. ERIC: What? NICOLE: (sighs) You may wanna sit down for this. Nicole grabs the newspaper from her desk and hands it reluctantly over to Eric. Eric sees the headline and is stunned and concerned. --- Anne scurries into her kitchen, and washes her hands thoroughly in piping hot water. The entire time, she mutters to herself in anger. ANNE: So either Mr. DiMera is trying to kill me with anthrax-laced letters, which I highly doubt, or he wants me to think he is to "warn me". Anne finishes washing her hands of any trace residue from the letter and puts on her rubber kitchen gloves. She puts each one on with a dramatic snap as the gloves struggle to fit on her hands. ANNE: And that, dear Elvis, is not going to work on old Anne Milbauer. She grabs a plastic freezer bag from the drawer, and walks back into the living room. Carefully, she picks the envelope up and drops it into the freezer bag, before sealing it up. ANNE: I don't suffer fools easily, EJ. You better watch your back too. Anne places the bagged letter in her purse, and hastily heads out the front door, closing it with a slam. --- EJ looks at the photo incredulously. He shakes his head and inspects the photo carefully, as though he would be able to find it was a fabrication with the naked eye. EJ: Father, why do you have this? Stefano walks around EJ to grab a drink. He pours the drink, casually sipping it as he talks with EJ, and paces the room. STEFANO: Well, you see, I wanted to be absolutely sure that you would keep your promise to me to keep our family together, and to honour me as your father. And so, when I heard about all this nonsense with Nicholas Fallon that you, Katerina, and Samantha have all been involved in, I became concerned. EJ: So you had someone follow me. STEFANO: I had to make sure you were taking care of things correctly. There is a strange old man in the woods that's been making noises about Titan buying his land. I heard he was quite a photographer. So I made him a deal. EJ: Blackmail photos of me in exchange for the funds to fight Titan to keep his property. Stefano nearly spits out his drink at EJ's suggestion of blackmail. STEFANO: Blackmail is such a strong word. In my family, we do not blackmail each other. EJ, sensing the complete absurdity of Stefano's statement, turns to Stefano, exasperated, his voice raising quickly. EJ: Well, what would you call it then, Father? Shall we go out and get a nice frame for this? Maybe blow this photo up and put it up on the wall next to your portrait? What else do you call this BUT blackmail?! STEFANO: Insurance! Naturally, we cannot rebuild my family if you are working to undermine me. And besides, this way, I have someone working on the inside at Titan to try to take them down. EJ sits down on the couch, worn out by the revelations Stefano has just laid out for him. EJ: I don't believe this. You do realize you've essentially hired Nicholas Fallon and his lapdog to spy on me. The same man who very nearly destroyed Will's life because he didn't like the idea of two men raising their own child together. You do realize how easily this could blow up in your face, right? Stefano, unfazed, shrugs, before sitting back down at his desk. STEFANO: As long as Nicholas Fallon and Percy Ruggles work for me, you have nothing to worry about. Just remember, Elvis, I can and will help you keep these secrets no matter what. But you must support me as well. It's all in your hands. EJ: My God. It's all about control with you, isn't it? You can't love people normally, you have to manipulate them to love you the way you want, or else it's not good enough. I...I cannot... EJ seethes with anger over his stupidity, and prepares to let off a further tirade at his father, when Harold opens the doors to the living room, causing EJ to turn around with a start. Harold is careful upon seeing EJ's reaction and enters slowly. HAROLD: Pardon me, Sir. Uh...but...a Miss Hernandez is here to see you. Gabi follows Harold into the room, she is made up and dressed for the day, but her face wears the burden of the previous night's realization, and her eyes are those of a woman who hasn't slept. GABI: EJ, I need your help. Badly, it's an emergency. --- Victor continues to speak as the emergency board meeting at Titan continues. Kate continues to ignore the proceedings as she speaks to Lucas. KATE: Honestly, I can't wait to see the look on Brady's face when he finally wakes up from his drug-fuelled haze and realizes what's going on. Victor is too exhausted to chastize Kate for her gossipping, and continues speaking to the board overtop of her chatter. VICTOR: My motion is simple, we shall have Brady replaced as CEO at Titan with myself, with Tyler Houston running the EnerNext division, while my grandson submits to an extensive rehabilitation program. Brady will only be considered to recommence his duties as CEO upon sucessful completion of the program, provided the board is satisfied with the arrangement. During this time, Brady will retain his seat on the executive board, and will be compensated using sick benefits. If Brady's rehabilitation is unsuccessful, we shall proceed with a new vote to find a new permanent CEO for Titan. All in favour of this motion. The board unanimously raises their hands to Victor's motion. Victor looks around for dissenting voters, but, solemnly, he prepares to complete the motion. As Victor begins speaking, Brady opens the doors to the board room, overhearing Victor's announcement. VICTOR: Then it is so...as of today, the 27th of July, 2014, Brady Black is temporarily relieved of his duties as CEO of Titan Industrie-- BRADY: NO! The board turn around in shock at Brady's outburst, minus Kate, who half-expected this, and looks up in calm curiosity. She leans over to Billie, whispering not-so-quietly to her. KATE: Right on cue, as always. ---
  17. Brad's a douche. Rude. Felix needs to hold it together, because I'dve punched that heffa in the mouth. I loved Lulu and Maxie talking about Levi. It was a good scene, and Levi is a weirdo, bad for Maxie. Tracy and Nina are interesting, it's good you're giving Tracy a foil, well needed. GREAT work.
  18. Every scene popped! I loved seeing Tracy and Monica go at it again. Wonderful! I think I'm really gonna like Sydney. Good to see everything working toward Michael's wedding. The Aztec thing fascinates me. Good reaching back into Felicia's history with that. I wonder how Levi fits into it! GREAT work!
  19. This episode built greatly. I loved all parts of it. Even the slow starts are often wise so you can get everything established. Van gonna sleep through Genoa city at this rate. Daniel is really unlucky with these Carter women. Wonder if the stalker is gonna make themselves known. The ending was GREAT. Karynn's drunk ass burnt the damn mansion down. Wonder if Esther made it out! Fantastic episode,ML. I wonder if the will was salvaged. I expect it was but who knows?
  20. Awesome show. A lot happening and a lot of good happening. I loved Vicky and Marley's scenes. Something so real and yet so soap opera about it and it felt so very honest. Loved that moment. Reginald getting out of jail, of course. I loved that tie-in to the history with Cecile's fixation on the Cory money. Excellent work with her. I also cannot wait to see the rest of the KC/Toni/Allen/Etta Mae confrontation. Some major stuff coming up there and I'm excited for it. GREAT show!
  21. DAYS OF OUR LIVES Ep. 42 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson Theresa steps onto the elevator at her building, having just paid the cabbie that drove her back to Salem with Brady's credit card. She's still somewhat intoxicated, very tired, and looks disheveled. She presses the button up to her floor and leans back against the back wall of the elevator car. She closes her eyes, thinking back to the night's events. *** Meeting Chloe, and Theresa's intense sense of threat at Chloe and Brady's camraderie. *** Theresa finding Brady's credit card on the floor of the club. *** Theresa seeing what she believed was Chloe and Brady kissing on the patio. *** Theresa forwarding the video of Brady doing cocaine to her friend at the gossip rag. *** The elevator dings as it stops on her floor. Theresa snaps back to reality, realizing the gravity of her actions, she breathes heavily. THERESA: Well, he got what he deserved, right? Theresa holds her head up and sashays from the elevator with all the dignity she can muster. As she puts her key in the lock, the door to Kim's apartment opens. Kim is half-asleep, dressed in her nightgown and housecoat. It's evident that she's been kept awake by Theresa's absence. KIM: Theresa? Theresa stops in her tracks. She turns to face her mother, folding her arms and trying to retain her composure. Kim can see through her tough display, and Theresa knows it. THERESA: Mom. KIM: You alright, baby? Kim steps toward Theresa. Theresa reactively backs up, visibly upset. THERESA: I'm fine, Mother. KIM: Honey, are you sure? Theresa breathes deeply, and looks away. She shakes her head and tries in vain to hold back tears. THERESA: No. No, I'm not. Kim immediately walks over to a despondent Theresa, and hugs her warmly. Theresa, finally, does not resist. --- Will and Sonny lie together in bed. Sonny is ready to sleep, but leans over, and notices Will is wide awake, and deep in thought. SONNY: Can't sleep? WILL: Ugh, I'm trying but... SONNY: But Nick. WILL: (sighs) Sonny, this is exactly why I need to find work. I need to be able to fight back against him, and I can't do that without the resources to protect my child. SONNY: I know, but you can't do anything about it tonight, and if you don't get some sleep, you won't be able to tomorrow either, right? WILL: I know. (sigh) I guess I'm just worried what Gabi's gonna do. She's gotta be worried sick about what that bastard's gonna pull next. Sonny puts his arm around Will, pulling him close to him as he holds Will's left hand in his. He caresses him softly as he holds him. SONNY: She's tougher than you think. She'll find some way. --- Gabi wakes up in her bedroom with a start. She sighs heavily as she realizes she was dreaming. GABI: Thank God. It was just a dream....I gotta get out of here for a minute. And go for a walk, and clear my mind. Gabi pulls herself out of bed. --- Rafe walks through the park with Jordan. They're laughing as Jordan eats the last of her ice cream cone. RAFE: So I see you liked it, but did you taste it? Jordan laughs a bit, trying not to choke as she swallows the last of her ice cream. JORDAN: What? Are you trying to kill me or something? RAFE: Sorry! I didn't mean to do that. I just...you were eating so fast, I... Rafe and Jordan share a hearty laugh at the situation, before looking up at the stars together. Jordan takes Rafe's arm and leans against him. She's content in a profound way. JORDAN: You know, I haven't been this happy in a really long time. RAFE: I'm glad. I know it hasn't always been easy for you, but...you know I've enjoyed getting to know you. Jordan looks up to Rafe and smiles. JORDAN: Me too. They lean and share a kiss, before pulling away at the sound of a familiar voice. NICK: Oo! Me too! --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7-6YubuS4 --- Brady attempts once more to call Theresa as he stands outside the front door of the Kiriakis Mansion, to no avail. He puts his phone in his pocket, clearly upset. BRADY: Damn it! Brady fumbles with his keys, before finally being able to open the door. When he walks in, he finds himself in a darkened house. He searches for the lights momentarily, only to find, when he turns the lights on, Victor, sitting in the chair facing the entrance to the living room. Victor is cross. VICTOR: How nice of you to come back and reassure us you're not dead. Brady rolls his eyes, he's exhausted and coming down from the cocaine high. Brady is still a bit tipsy, however. BRADY: Granddad, I'm not doing this with you right now, okay? VICTOR: Doing what? Engaging? You never do that unless it's in marriage with the wrong woman. BRADY: Okay, can we go two seconds without some snarky remark? Because I just came home from Chicago, on what was supposed to be an amazing night, with no idea where the girl I took to Chicago with me is, with my credit card stolen, and pretty soon, a massive hangover. VICTOR: Stolen credit card? My first stop would be to question that girl you took to Chicago. I wouldn't trust her with a book of fast food coupons, never mind my credit card. BRADY: Grandad! VICTOR: Alright, alright. I'm just glad you're alright, and I hope you didn't do anything stupid that could come back to bit you in the ass. The last thing we need right now is for some seedy tabloid to get ahold of any dirt on you while you're drunk off your face and God knows what else you've gotten into tonight. We need to run a tight ship ahead of this board meeting this week. BRADY: They weren't allowed into the club. It was all very tightly controlled. Believe me. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Okay? VICTOR: I'd better not. There's too much riding on the Titan TV vote, and I don't know how many more unpleasant surprises this old heart can take. I've been in a nursing home once already. That's plenty for one lifetime. --- Kim and Theresa sit on Theresa's sofa. Kim hands Theresa a cup of tea, and wraps a blanket from the couch across Theresa's shoulders. Theresa sits quietly, and Kim just lets her talk. THERESA: So when I saw Brady and Chloe making out on the patio, I just...I couldn't take it anymore. KIM: Honey, are you sure it was them? I mean, did you see their faces? THERESA: I...I'm almost certain, Mom. I...the woman was wearing the same coloured dress as Chloe and looked like the same colour of spray-tan. I... KIM: You just have doubts now. THERESA: No, I really am sure it was them. I mean, Brady was high on coke and he'd been drinking all night. And every time I'd turn around, OH LOOK! There's Chloe again. KIM: Theresa, I'm just worried that lashing out at Brady was premature. You don't really know where he went after your fight. Theresa gets up, begins pacing the room. THERESA: Oh I know where he went, straight to Chloe. And that's why I forwarded that video. Every man in my life does this kind of crap to me, and I'm not gonna let people walk all over me and use me like that. Not again. Kim stands up, shocked by Theresa's admission. KIM: You what? THERESA: I forwarded the video I accidentally shot of Brady doing cocaine, and I forwarded it to that friend of mine in LA who works at the gossip site. Brady Black's not going to get away with screwing with me. --- Liam steps out of Jennifer's door, about to head for home. Jenn smiles as she sees the new man in her life, and he smiles back, though somewhat tense. JENNIFER: So when do I get to meet your family? LIAM: I uh...I'm not sure. JENNIFER: Oh come on, Liam. Do they live in Salem or is it one of those times where we'd have to fly out somewhere? LIAM: Well, I'm honestly not that close to my family, Jenn. We sorta drifted apart a long time ago and...well, I've been so caught up in my work that I really haven't had the time to try to mend fences. Jenn looks at Liam, a sadness in her eyes. She reaches for Liam's hand. JENNIFER: I'm sorry to hear that. I know you're very quiet about your life. And I can tell there's a lot of painful memories behind that. But whenever you're ready to talk about it, I'm here for you. LIAM: Thank you, Jenn. JENNIFER: And I mean that. I know it's hard to let someone in on the problems in your life. But I've had a lot of painful times in my life too. Believe me, it hasn't always been easy for me. I want to lift that burden off of you. But only when you're ready. Liam smiles, he squeezes Jenn's hand, and leans over to kiss her. LIAM: You always say something that makes me think you're the one for me more and more. You know that? JENNIFER: I feel so...attached to you. I just hope you'll learn to trust me enough. LIAM: I do. It's just not easy to tell you these things. As Liam speaks, JJ walks from the living room. Overhearing the conversation, he lingers a bit before heading upstairs. LIAM: Uh...listen, Jenn. Before I go, I just wanted to say, if your mom needs a place to live, I figured I knew a few builings in the area. Maybe it'll speed up the process and get your mom into a condo or something sooner. JJ raises an eyebrow at this. JJ: (thinks to himself) What is he trying to get her out of the house already? Shady, man. JJ heads upstairs before he's noticed. JENNIFER: That's really sweet of you, Liam. I'll let Mom know, okay? LIAM: Alright. Jenn and Liam share a long, sweet kiss, before Liam heads off for the night. Jenn leans against the doorframe, watching lovingly as Liam heads for his car. Jenn waves as he departs. --- Liam, now inside his car, quickly makes a phone call as he drives away. LIAM: (into phone) Yeah, it's me. We've got a major problem now. Jenn's mom just came back. No, I won't calm down. This is gonna throw a wrench into everything....Okay, I'll call him. Liam slams his phone down on the dash as he drives down the street. LIAM: Dammit. --- Jordan and Rafe turn to face a smug Nick. Rafe is visibly unimpressed, while Jordan is trying to make heads or tails of the sitation, hoping to defuse it before it gets out of hand. RAFE: What do you want? NICK: It's a beautiful night. I just came to enjoy the fresh air. Spend some time alone in the city that I love. RAFE: Really? I thought that was New York. Too bad you didn't stay there. NICK: That's funny. See, it's a really great story, and one of these days, I'll tell you all about it. RAFE: I'm sure it'll be hilarious. If you'll excuse us-- NICK: ...You know what the best part is about being in Salem is getting close to Gabi again. Rafe, who has turned to walk away, is stopped dead in his tracks by Nick's comment about Gabi. Jordan squeezes Rafe's arm, hoping to stop him from reacting violently to Nick's baiting. RAFE: What did you say? As Rafe and Nick talk, Gabi happens to be passing by the park on her walk. Deep in thought, she barely even registers the conversation for a moment. After a minute. She stops. Recognizing the voices. NICK: I've been really enjoying it. I even went to visit her tonight. A nice little surprise. Some flowers. She seems to really be liking it. Now, don't worry. I'm not pushing her too far if that's what you're wondering. I'm keeping a respectful distance. RAFE: New York would've been a respectful distance, Nick. After what you did to Sonny and Will, you have the audacity to invade their home like that? NICK: Gabi invited me in. RAFE: Why would she do that? Gabi, who had been already deep in thought about Nick's motives, is increasingly concerned by his baiting of her brother. She hides herself in the bushes and watches carefully. NICK: Because maybe she sees that I'm trying to do good things. I'm trying to help Percy keep his land, and trying to maybe make it up to Sonny and Will for all the crappy things I've done to them. RAFE: "Crappy" seems a bit of an understatement. NICK: And you know what? I can tell, she sees the good in me. And, given time, she will come back to me. I can guarantee it. Nick's words echo in Gabi's head. "She will come back to me". It echoes in her head, making her feel sick to her stomach. RAFE: Boy, you're confident, aren't you? How are you so sure? NICK: Because Gabi knows that the only way she'll truly be happy is with me. There's no other way for her. Gabi flashes back to the river, when Nick threatened to tell the police about her involvement in Melanie's kidnapping if she didn't go to New York with him. She sits in the bushes, terrified, breathing heavily. GABI: My God. I gotta do something. ---
  22. Ohhh Roxanne, you have no idea what kind of trap you're falling into. I really liked the confrontation between Nikki and Jill. it felt very natural. The scenes with Karl and Mac filled in a lot for us, so good work there. I really can't wait to see how this will reading goes down. I know something major will happen, and I really can't wait to find out what it is. I know you'll give us the goods! Great work!
  23. Reginald knew the police were coming, just in time to drop a bomb and leave KC confused. Crazy. I enjoyed Toni's scenes with Allen. Great confrontation. Allen's gonna be reeling from this revelation for quite awhile, I'm sure. Great scenes with michelle, Rachel, and Carl. I'm enjoying seeing them all. You really make Bay City come to life. it's really great to see a show I loved revitalized like that. Great work, Cary!
  24. DAYS OF OUR LIVES Ep. 41 Written by A. Washington-Beeby Story Consultants: ML Cooks & C. Nathaniel Richardson Stefano walks over to EJ, putting a hand on his shoulder. A self-satisfied smile is across his face, as he revels in his son's misfortune. STEFANO: Our trusty staff have informed me of your troubles with your beloved Samantha. EJ: I do not want to discuss this with you, Father. EJ walks away, pushing Stefano's hand off his shoulder as he breaks away, heading for the door. Stefanp stops him dead in his tracks with his next words. STEFANO: From the sounds of this phone call you just made, you need my help with something. EJ: Father, the last thing I want right now is your help. You see, your form of help seems to only exacerbate all of my problems. I'll handle it myself. Stefano shrugs, still with the same self-satisfied look on his face. STEFANO: Suit yourself, but don't come crying to me when your little dalliance with Ms. Deveraux blows up in your face. EJ is shocked to hear that Stefano knows of his affair with Abigail, and he turns around suddenly, in a sort of panic. EJ: What?! Stefano bursts into his infamous laugh, filling EJ with a sense of intense dread. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og7-6YubuS4 --- Gabi stands in the common room of the apartment, having just put the baby down. She stands, arms crossed, clearly uncomfortable after Will's disappointed question. GABI: Look, Nick just...showed up. He had flowers in hand and...I just couldn't slam the door in his face, okay? WILL: Why not? He wasn't invited and you know all the awful things he's capable of. Why make yourself vulnerable to that? GABI: Because if I don't, then I'm vulnerable to a whole lot more, and you both know it. Gabi sits down on the sofa, head in hands. The stress of the situation is finally starting to weigh on her. GABI: Look, I just don't want to set him off. I figure, if I'm nice to him, if I try to be kind to him, maybe he'll back off of all of us. SONNY: Gabi, you can't think like that. Nick is a major problem but pacifying him isn't going to help. WILL: I don't agree with that at all. Sonny looks up to Will, a bit confused. SONNY: What do you mean? WILL: Well, see, we know how Nick works, and he's going to keep pushing and pushing and pushing. But if we just stand back and watch him carefully, I guarantee we will see what he's up to. SONNY: I just don't want to put Gabi and Ari in the middle of it all. GABI: You're not. I am willing to do this. We have to protect Ari. By any means neccessary. WILL: Gabi's right, but... SONNY: I think we need to take a couple days and investigate, then make a plan. The sooner we neutralize Nick Fallon, the sooner we'll all be safe. Finally. --- JJ and Laura sit in the living room, as Abigail steps in to join them, a tray with teacups in hand. ABBY: Here we go. Grandma, chamomile tea for you. LAURA: Thanks, Honey. Laura reaches out and takes her tea from Abigail, a cautious smile on her face, as Abigail sits down to join JJ and Laura in conversation in the living room. LAURA: So, Abigail...I hear you started a new job with Countess Wilhelmina. How's that going? Abigail stops for a second, thinking back to her confrontation with EJ earlier. *** FLASHBACK to Ep. 35 Abigail doesn't speak, her mouth quivers as she tries to speak, but fails to come up with a good lie. EJ's anger rises, and he desperately lurches toward Abigail, grabbing her by the shoulders and shakes her, as if to loosen the words from her throat. EJ: Tell me what happened, damn it! What happened at the hospital, Abigail! ABBY: It was Anne! It was all Anne! EJ stops, taking a step back. EJ is confused, barely knowing Anne. EJ: Anne? ABBY: Anne Milbauer. She heard everything. She forced me to quit or she'd... *** Abigail snaps out of it. ABBY: Just...fine. I'm really liking it there. Laura looks unconvinced. LAURA: Are you sure? I have to admit, you don't seem all that excited about it. ABBY: Yeah, I'm just...a little tired. You know, long day. LAURA: Well, why don't you get some rest then, honey? Abigail goes to respond, but the front door opens to the sounds of laughter as Jenn and Liam step into the house from a night out. JJ looks over to Laura and gives her a look. JJ: Here we go. Jenn enters the living room and, surprised at seeing her mom arrive, beams with delight as she runs over to hug her. Liam hangs back, sizing Laura up from the entrance to the living room. He is distinctly uncomfortable. JENNIFER: Mom! It's so good to see you! You're here early, I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow! LAURA: I caught an early flight. My patient and I are meeting tomorrow afternoon so I thought I'd come tonight and have a bit of family time. Who's this handsome man? Laura turns and looks to Liam, who stands uncomfortably back from her still. He forces a smile as he steps towards her to shake Laura's hand. LIAM: Liam Fraser. How do you do? LAURA: A pleasure to meet you. JENNIFER: This is my mom, Dr. Laura Horton. LAURA: If my daughter has this much fun with you, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other. JENNIFER: Mom's moving back to town, so she'll be staying with us for a bit while she looks for a place of her own. Liam looks to Laura and Jenn, smiling the world's most forced smile, as if he's trying to hold in a rage. JJ notices this and looks at Liam suspiciously. --- Victor looks at Maggie, his face scrunched up with indignation, as they argue in the Kiriakis living room. VICTOR: Maggie, you need to do some research. This project is designed to bring a whole new level of prosperity to this city. MAGGIE: Most of that in your pocket, right? VICTOR: Maggie, you know what kind of trouble this company's in? We could lose everything. The whole thing. The company, this house, our pensions. Lord knows, I'dve been long-retired by now if not for that mess of a grandson of mine. MAGGIE: I would love you and support you regardless. If we were thrown out and had to live on the streetcorner, I'd still be by you. VICTOR: I just want to be able to provide you with the life you deserve. Maggie puts a hand on Victor's shoulder. She smiles as she looks into Victor's eyes lovingly. MAGGIE: Don't worry about me. I'll be fine as long as I have you. The house, the money, it's not important. And I know you think you're doing the right thing, Victor, but...there's got to be a way to run your business without getting involved in something that's going to affect the health of so many people. VICTOR: We have no choice, Maggie. We had to find a way to make the company solvent again. I'm just worried if Brady is up to the challenge. I'm worried about him. MAGGIE: We all are. But I think the main thing is getting him away from Theresa. Otherwise, he'll never recover. VICTOR: Well, good luck with that. The more we try to get him away from that twit, the further he digs his heels in. We could use him once we start mining. --- Brady walks into the grand hotel across from the club. He walks up to the desk clerk, and is very wired from his hit of cocaine. The desk clerk is taken aback by Brady's demeanour. BRADY: I need a room for tonight, is there anything available. The bigger, the plusher, the better. CLERK: I...uh..I'm not sure, Mr... BRADY: Black. Brady Black. If you have anything available, I'll take it. CLERK: Okay, Mr. Black, one moment... The clerk checks the computer for any vacancies while Brady tries to text Theresa. He stops himself, thinking of instead surprising her afterwards. He paces before the front desk, impatiently waiting for the clerk's answer. CLERK: Is the Lakeview Suite acceptable? It'll be $499 for the ni-- BRADY: Yes, perfect, here's my credit card...where's my credit card? --- Back at the club, Theresa walks past the table she was sitting with Brady at, and kicks something from below the table. She stops and picks it up. It's Brady's corporate credit card. Theresa thinks to herself while twirling the card in her hand. THERESA: (thinks) Wow. Thank God, I found this instead of someone else at this snobfest. Wonder if I should treat myself to a couple drinks. I don't think Brady would notice...especially in his state. Theresa grabs another martini from the bar, before sauntering in a bit of a drunken stupor, trying desperately to hold herself together as gracefully as possible. as she steps out onto the patio, she sees a couple on the patio that are almost a dead ringer for Brady and Chloe, kissing passionately against the railing. Theresa is stopped in her tracks and nearly spills her drink in shock. Theresa's mind flashes back to Brady's admission that he and Chloe were once married, the sound of Brady's voice looping in her head as she turns and walks quickly out of the club, beginning to run out as she reaches the exit. After pushing through a group of people entering the club, she hails a cab and quickly gets in. THERESA: How much is it to take me back to Salem? CAB DRIVER: Salem? You're looking at like...$250, lady. Theresa shows him Brady's credit card. THERESA: I'm good for it. The cabbie shrugs and takes off. As the car takes off, Brady is back at the club, looking for Theresa. Unable to see her, he sees Chloe and stops her to ask. BRADY: Hey, uh...have you seen Theresa at all? CHLOE: No, the last time I saw her she was heading out the door in a hurry. BRADY: What? Oh, God. Uh...thanks. It was really good to see you tonight. CHLOE: Same here, Brady. Call me soon, okay? I'll be in town soon to drop off Parker at Daniel's, okay? BRADY: Excellent. Love you. Brady and Chloe hug quickly as Brady races out to find Theresa. His adrenaline is pumping with the combination of cocaine and concern in his blood. Inside the taxi, Theresa rides quietly in the backseat. The radio is blasting dance music. She leans toward the cabbie with a hint of irritation in her voice. THERESA: Hey, can you shut that off, please? CAB DRIVER: Whatever you say, lady. THERESA: Yeah, thanks. The cabbie turns the music off, and Theresa pulls out her phone, and notices a text from Brady, asking where she is. She rolls her eyes and deletes the text, still livid at what she believes she saw at the party. THERESA: That...bastard's gonna...pay for that. Theresa flops back in her seat when she gets a text. It's from her friend in LA who works at the celebrity gossip site. Theresa smiles a wicked smile, before replying to her friend's text with the video she took earlier of Brady doing lines at the club. She hits send, then smiles a crooked smile, laughing a little at her misdeed as she spins the corporate credit card in her right hand. THERESA: Good riddance, Brady. I got what I want, now you get what you deserve. ---
  25. That was a very good episode, Cary. I especially loved Felicia and Mitch. I could see every line being said on TV. You've really got a handle on these characters, and it's great. Sharlene and John's relationship is really rocky now, and I can't wait to see how you deal with Sharlene learning the truth. The wedding looms, and what a great ending there. The last scene with Vicky making Jake comfortable is really a nice way to end the episode, and really love how the simple everyday things really make a big impact sometimes. GREAT work!
