She told her that Abby was pregnant with Stefan's baby so they were stuck with him in their lives. Kayla also told Marlena that Abby's altars might be back. Marlena was willing to see her.

Chloe: You look like you could use this. Lucas: [Sighs] Thank you. Caffeine, plse. This baby and I, we were up half the night. Chloe: Hmm, well, you loved every minute of it. Lucas: You got me. I did. I really did. Did you see me rocking her to sleep like that? I still got it. I'm a natural. I can't believe she's warmed up to me this quick, you know? I thought it would take her a while, but... we are really bonding, aren't we? Chloe: Mm, she knows how much you love her already. Lucas: Aww. Did you hear that? Do you know how much I love you? You're so smart. [Cooing] I love you 'cause you're my little girl. Chloe: Well, if that judge has any sense, you will be walking out of that courtroom with full custody. Lucas: Ooh, from your gorgeous lips. Chloe: Mmm. Lucas: Thank you. [Phone beeps] Justin. Chloe: Oh, word about the case? Lucas: Ah, yeah, well, it looks like he's got some news and he wants me to call him. [Tense music] Bonnie: Honey, you gonna eat those? Mimi: Here you go. Have some. Bonnie: Thank you. Here, you can have the fruit. Mimi: I don't want the fruit. You know, it's kind of hard to have an appetite when your one-night-stand is baby-sitting my daughter! Bonnie: Shh, shh, shh. Keep your voice down. I'm supposed to be baby bonnie's mama, remember? Mimi: That was a one-time offer to get you out of jail. I didn't think I would be signing her over for life! I'm just thanking god belle agreed to be our lawyer. Bonnie: You know, I keep thinking about that. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea to tell belle the truth. You know, she's still pretty tight with chloe. You sure she won't spill? Mimi: Yes, I'm sure. Belle's my best friend, not chloe'S. And hello? Attorney/client privilege? Bonnie: All right, all right. Enough said. But you did tell her the truth, didn't you? That, um... you had s-e-x with r-e-x? Mimi: Yes, mother. Belle knows that rex is my baby's father. And that he has no idea he has a child. [Devious music] [Knocking at door] Kate: [Gasps] Rex: Mom! Kate: [Laughing] Rex! I can't believe this. Oh, what a fabulous surprise! What are you doing here? Rex: What, I can't just stop by for a visit? Kate: Well, no, of course you can, but you never do. Rex: Okay, fine, you got me. I'm here because I have some really exciting news. Hattie: There's always something exciting going on in salem. [Sighs] Except none of it ever happens to me. I get stuck in this stupid hospital bed playing this stupid woman marlena. [Huffs] You gotta be kidding me! [Laughs] This is just what I need to spice up my day. Kayla: You are making great progress. We are going to be springing you soon. Marlena: Oh! The sooner, the better. Hattie's out there living my life. Kayla: I know. I tried to avoid talking about this while you were recovering. And I know that we brought hattie here, but... what if she doesn't wanna give it up? I mean, now that she has had a taste of freedom, she's not gonna wanna go back to prison. Marlena: Yeah, well, john has a plan for the worst-case scenario. Kayla: And? Marlena: And he's putting it into action right now. Roman: An ernie banks rookie baseball card signed by the man himself? Where did you get this? John: Paul's got boxes of memorabilia. Roman: He does know you gave this to me? John: Yeah. Yeah, I was helping him get rid of some stuff before he moved in with will. You know, I just mentioned you were a fan. He said, "hey, it's all yours." Roman: Wow. John: Yeah. Roman: Ernie banks. Mr. Cub. I don't know what to say. John: [Chuckles] Roman: Actually, I do. What do you want from me? John: [Scoffs] Want from you? Roman, come on. Roman: John. John: Well, now that you mention it, I need a huge favor. Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the "days of our lives." [Soft orchestration] Kate: [Laughing] Okay. So tell me, what's the big surprise? Rex: I gotta say, I didn't think I'd be this nervous. Um, it was a little easier telling dad this, I gotta tell you. Kate: Oh. So you already saw your father. Rex: Yeah, I stayed with him at the pub last night. Kate: Uh-huh, and you're just seeing me now. Rex: Well, I didn't bring him these. Kate: What's that? Uh, mint chocolates? Rex: From chicago. Your favorite, right?. Kate: Oh, yeah, my favorite. [Both laugh] I think I'll forgive you now. Enough of the suspense. What's the big surprise? Rex: Okay, you're right. Without further ado... I'm engaged. Kate: [Sighs] Oh, my god. You have to be joking. Belle: Bonnie. Nice to see you. Bonnie: Oh, likewise. Belle: You ready to go? Mimi: Yeah. Bonnie: Oh, where are we going? Belle: Oh, bonnie, actually...um... Bonnie: Wha--wha--what? I'm not invited? Mimi: Well, it's not some fancy society party. We're just going to talk to lucas about the baby. Bonnie: Well, shouldn't I be there? Both: No. Belle: We don't want lucas to feel like we're ambushing him, so... Bonnie: Yeah, but he'll be expecting me. I am the baby's mama-- supposedly. Mimi: Ma, we've got this covered, all right? We'll fill you in later. And while we're gone, just try not to get into any trouble. Lucas: No, no, justin. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thanks for the heads-up. Chloe: Bad news? Lucas: Bonnie's lawyered up. They are countersuing for full custody. Chloe: What? Oh... Lucas: We know that. We knew that would happen, right? It's not a surprise to me. Is it a surprise to you? Chloe: Yeah, I guess not, but justin doesn't actually think bonnie can win, does he? Lucas: He things we have a pretty good case, and he's gonna try his best, you know? That's all he can do, but... he did get ahold of their paperwork, and apparently my alcoholism is in there, my jail stint's in there, and they're just--they're going right for the jugular on me. I knew they would. Chloe: Oh, wow. I'm so sorry. I guess they hired a real shark. Lucas: Oh, yeah, they did. She's tough. They're on their way over here right now. Chloe: Wait, you know her? Lucas: Sure, sure. We both do. Chloe: You've got to be kidding me. Got directions to the nightclub here. Kayla: Easy. There you go. Marlena: Whoa! Kayla: Well, unfortunately, the john doe's injuries are quite severe. The doctors in nashville are doing everything they can. But I'm gonna have him transferred to our burn unit as soon as he's stable. Okay? Marlena: Yeah. Wow. Look at me. I spoke to sami last night. She is just-- she's sick with worry. [Clears throat] Kayla: She really thinks it could be ej? Marlena: Well, she's desperate to believe it is. Kayla: If the dimeras have kept ej away from his family all this time... why would they do that? Marlena: I don't know. And there's no one to ask. Kristen and xander perished in the building... along with poor nicole. Kayla: Nicole. How's eric holding up? Marlena: I don't know. I've been desperate to talk to him, but... I've been stuck in here. Hattie's out there dealing with everything, including being the person who's talking to my children. Kayla: Look, I know that you are frustrated. But it sounds like john has a good plan. And my brother's gonna do everything he can to help. Marlena: Yeah. Roman has been so great. We've asked so much of him. And he's already done so much for us. John: You know, for what it's worth, I... I hate even having to ask, here. I mean, 'cause you have been a champion through this whole ordeal, here, and doc and I, we... we couldn't have had a better friend on board. Roman: I was glad to help. John: And thank you. We really appreciate that, but now we're... we are really in a bind. Roman: Hattie? John: Yeah, she, um... she's refusing to go back to prison. Roman: She had to know this wasn't gonna last forever. John: [Chuckles] You'd think, wouldn't you? Yeah, and now, it appears to me that you might be the only one who can solve this problem. Roman: What exactly do you want me to do? Bonnie: Well, hello, dr. Marlena evans. [Chuckles] Hattie: Bonnie, you came! Bonnie: Oh, yeah. Hattie: And you brought food. Both: [Laughing] Bonnie: Absolutely. Hattie: Real food. Bonnie: Uh-huh, you know it. Nothing but the best for my former partner in crime. Girl, I came as soon as you sent me that email. Oh, my god, I could not pass up the chance to par-tay with the hattie adams. Hattie: Oh, oh, oh! Ix-nay on the attie-hay. You just never know who's listening. Bonnie: Right, gotcha. Mum's the word. So tell me, girl, why are you pretending to be marlena again, hmm? Hattie: [Sighs] It's a very long story. Hey, you've got no idea how lucky you are to be able to go walking out and about like your own fabulous self. Bonnie: [Laughs] About that. How did you know I was back in town? Hattie: Oh, you kidding me? Yeah, yeah. I read all about your custody case. Bonnie: Ah, yeah. Hattie: So you got knocked up by that lucas horton? Why didn't you tell me? Bonnie: Um... [Chuckles] Well... [Laughs] Yeah. Chloe: You're bonnie's lawyer? Belle: I've taken the case, yes. Chloe: I can't believe this. I thought you were my friend. Belle: All I want is what's best for the baby. Chloe: [Scoffs] What's best for this baby is to be raised by lucas. Belle: I know that lucas has gotten attached to the baby and wants to spend time with her, but the mother has rights too. Mimi: She absolutely does. And my mother loves that little girl with all her heart. Chloe: Oh, yeah, does she? Really? Then where the hell is she? Little dakota's nose was quivering in fear. John: All right, it's kind of like this: You're the only one who can get through to hattie because you... are the love of her life. So I need you to pretend that you are... interested in her and really woo her. I mean, I want you to whoo-hoo her so badly that she will go right back to prison and give up this sham of a marriage to me. Roman: Wait. You want me to... "woo" her? John: Yeah. What I'm asking you to d-- no, what I'm begging you to do is... take my wife. Please take my wife. Hattie: That's quite a scam you got going there. Passing your own granddaughter off as your kid. Bonnie: Yeah, it's the only way I could think of to stay out of prison. I just couldn't face going back to statesville, you know? Hattie: I gotcha, sister. Yeah, I'd do anything to stay out of that place. Bonnie: Right? Hattie: Mm-hmm. Bonnie: So, catch me up. Tell me the dish. How are the girls on cellblock c? How's joan? Hattie: Oh. She's dead. Bonnie: [Snorts] Well, I didn't like her anyway. [Laughs] How's rita? Hattie: She's dead too. Bonnie: Shut up. Hattie: You shut up. Bonnie: [Laughs] Wait about--what, coco? No, don't tell me she's dead too. Hattie: No, she's alive. But she's so boring, how can you tell the difference? [Both laugh] Bonnie: Okay. [Coughs] Hattie: I'm so glad you're here. I am just bored out of my gourd in this place, pretending to be this "doc." Bonnie: Oh, sweetie. About that--and you know what? Tell me. Tell me, how did you get out of the clink and into this hospital bed, girl? Hattie: [Sighs] [Quirky music] Rex: You know, most mothers would offer up, like, a "congratulations" or something. Kate: Well, I am not most mothers. Rex: That's very true. So what's your objection? Kate: Well, for one thing, you've never said a word about her. And now you're engaged to her? I mean, how long have you been dating? Rex: About a year. Kate: A year. And you never said anything about it. Rex: Well, in my defense, you haven't exactly approved of the people your children have dated in the past. Kate: Well, actually, my children would have my full approval if they would date people that-- that are worthy of them! I mean, I'm protective. So sue me. No, never mind. Just tell me about your fiancéE. So what? I mean, is she smart, pretty? Tall, short? Blonde, brunette? Where'd you meet? Where'd she from? Rex: Okay, you know, I'm gonna start with the last question first. It's kind of funny. She's actually from salem. Kate: Okay, it's kind of funny how you're saying that. Oh my god, it's mimi, isn't it? I cannot believe it's mimi! She aborted your child! She lied to you about it! Why would you ever forgive her for that? Why would you get involved with her again? Rex: Hah, hah, hah. Ma, just calm down. It's not mimi. Kate: It's not? Rex: No. Kate: Well, that's good. That's a good thing for her. Lucky for her. Belle: We didn't think that bonnie should be here today. We didn't want the situation to, uh, escalate. Chloe: Well, at least you're still capable of making some sensible decisions. Mimi: Cut belle some slack, okay? She wasn't trying to hurt your precious feelings. She didn't even want to take the case. I practically had to beg her-- for my mom. Belle: I'm assuming that justin told you that we filed a countersuit for full custody. Lucas: Yeah, yeah, he did. You didn't have to come over to give us the news, okay? Belle: Well, actually, there's another reason why we came by. Lucas: Oh, I can't wait. What is it? Belle: I met with the judge this morning, and the court decided that it was in the best interest of the baby that bonnie have visitation rights. So...we're here to take baby bonnie to see her mom. Lucas: [Scoffs] Chloe: Uh, hell no. New theraflu powerpods. At humana, we believe great things are ahead of you when you start with healthy.

Do you know why they arrested him? Kayla: They believe that he leaked sensitive intel, but it wasn't him. It was his bionic eye. Someone has gained access to see... every file that steve looked at. Marlena: And we know who. Kayla: It had to have been stefan. Marlena: Have you told the isa? Kayla: No, but I'm sure that steve has voiced his suspicions. But they're gonna hold onto him until we prove it. Marlena, I... I don't know how I thought for one second that stefan was to be trusted. And now that abigail is pregnant with his baby, we get stuck with him for life. Marlena: How is abigail? Kayla: She's not well. In fact, she is the patient that I told you wanted to see you. Marlena: So abigail would like to have a session? Kayla: She's afraid that her alters are back. Marlena: [Exhales heavily] Okay. Of course. Of course I'd glad to see her. Can you schedule that? Kayla: Unfortunately, she now refuses any help. Roman: Okay, let me get this straight, here. You want me to pretend I've fallen for hattie, convince her to divorce you, go back to prison? John: Mm, yeah. Sounds kind of crazy, doesn't it? But she'd do it for you. Roman: I don't think so. I have rejected her way too many times. John: Come on, man. When she busted out of the hospital, where did she go? She came straight to you. And why is that? Because she's got a thing for you. Roman: John, don't you think it might seem a little fishy? After all this time, suddenly, I return her feelings? John: No! You are roman brady. Come on, man. I got faith in you. You'll figure a way to pull this off. Roman: John... I want to help you. I really do, but my kids, I mean, they are dealing with a lot right now. That fire in nashville? Sami thinks she might have found ej and eric. John: I know, I know. I heard all about nicole. Roman: Yeah, and on top of that, rex is back in town, and I haven't seen him for a long time. John: I understand. The last thing I want to do is take you away from your kids. I get that. It'S... you know, doc, she, uh... she wants to be there for eric and sami too. You know, and--and--and... brady and paul, they're going through their own issues right now. I'd love to help them, but hell, I'm so tied up with hattie. Roman: You are playing so dirty. You know that. John: Yeah, I know that, but I'm out of options, man. Come on. Can you help me here? This hattie, she is a ticking time bomb. She's gonna blow at any moment. Bonnie: Ooh, doggie, I am impressed. You are pulling some power moves! Especially snagging that silver fox of a hubby. Mmm-mmm. Hattie: Oh. Well, he's good-looking, I guess, in a funny kind of way. Just not my type. So our marriage is strictly phonetic. Bonnie: Mm, platonic. Hattie: And he's already upset with me for this stunt, you know? Bonnie: Well, seriously, what did he expect? Dr. Marlena evans opens her eyes and you'd just catch the next bus back to prison? Really? Hattie: Yeah, really? Bonnie: Really. Hattie: Really. I mean, I'm just trying to do what oprah says, you know, I'm-- I'm trying to live my best life. That does not include communal showers and bed bugs. Bonnie: [Shudders] [Chuckles] Seriously, though, honey. You really think you can avoid going back to prison? Hattie: Well, why couldn't I? Look, I mean, I hold all the cards. I've got all the leverage here, and I am not giving that up. No way, no how! Bonnie: [Chuckles] Rex: Mom? You all right? Kate: Yes, I am fine. I'm just saying a small prayer of thanks that it's not mimi, because believe me, we don't need any more connections with lockharts in this family. Rex: Oh, you mean like baby bonnie? Kate: You spoke to lucas? Rex: Yeah, I saw him yesterdaY. And I was lucky enough to meet my brand new baby niece. Kate: Oh, my god, she is such a beautiful little baby. Rex: She is, I know. And that smile. I mean, mom, I was holding her, and I just... it was interesting. I felt this, like, bond with her, you know? It just made me realize that I would love to have kids of my own someday. Chloe: What the hell was that judge thinking? As soon as we hand that baby over to bonnie, she's going to split town and lucas will never see his daughter again. Belle: That won't happen. Baby bonnie's mother is willing to fight this out in court. Listen, I'll personally guarantee nobody is leaving town with the baby. Lucas: Calm down, all right? I'll handle this. I'll talk to justin and I'll see what's really going on. Mimi: Um... in the meantime, could I hold my, uh, sister? Lucas: Yeah, I guess so. Go ahead. [Sad string music] Mimi: Hi, sweetheart. Ma--mimi's here. Hi. Hi, baby. Chloe: She seems really comfortable with you. Mimi: She does, doesn't she? Chloe: I thought you'd never spent any time with her before. Mimi: That's right. But it's only natural she'd take to me. After all, she is my flesh and blood. With uncontrolled Roman: There has got to be some other way to get hattie to listen to reason besides me "wooing" her. John: I wish there were, buddy. I don't see it. If we try to force her to go back to prison, she's gonna blow the whistle on you, me, and kayla. I try to wrangle her into an annulment, you know, she's gonna fight me. It's gonna drag on for years. And all I wanna do is tie the knot with doc right now. Roman: You don't think you guys have been married enough already? John: Well, hey. I know. After all these years together, it'S... it's basically a symbolic gesture, but you wanna know something? It's important to me. It just... having that ring on my finger, it just represents commitment, devotion, my love to doc. I just want to start our life together right now, and I can't do that when hattie's still in the picture. Roman: John. You know, what you're asking, here... is beyond the call of duty. John: I know. Roman: And it's worth way than a hell of a lot more than an ernie banks baseball card, all right? John: I know, I know. Roman: Okay? But... all right. John: You'll do it? Roman: Yes, I will romance hattie so you and marlena can live happily ever after. John: Oh! All right! All right, all right, all right! You rule, man. And listen, this... hopefully, this won't go on for very long, here. And because I know it's not gonna be a barrel of laughs for you, doc and I, we're gonna owe you big-time. Roman: [Laughing] Oh, yeah. Yeah, you sure as hell will. [Both laughing] Bonnie: You know what this reminds me of? Hattie: Mm-hmm. That scene in "monty python." [Both giggle] Bonnie: No. Our girls' night. A year ago. Salem inn. Honey, I had the best night of my life with you. Hattie: Me too, but you know what? This...this is better. Bonnie: Yeah? Why? Hattie: 'Cause we don't have that killjoy anjelica breathing down our necks. May she rest in peace. Bonnie: [Laughs] You know, if she had learned to live life just a little more nicer--you know, stop and really enjoy the finer things in life-- she might've lived longer. Hattie: Oh. Hmm. Bonnie: Babe. We got drinks. We got snacks. Hattie: Mm-hmm. Bonnie: I'm thinking we go for the trifecta. Hattie: [Giggles] Bonnie: Adult entertainment! Hattie: Oh, oh, hold on. That's how you call the nurse. Don't do that. Bonnie: Oh. Okay, then, well, hold on. Hold on, hold on, I got it. Hattie: Oh, you know, wait. I did that when I first got here. There's nothing on that but cable news. Bonnie: Dang. Hattie: I know. But... I don't need to fantasize about anybody except roman brady. [Both chuckle] Bonnie: I can't believe you're still stuck on him. I mean, babe, there's so many fish in the sea, you know? Hattie: I do know that. And I've flung that net far and wide. And I've had my share of gentleman callers, I'll tell you, but... I don't know. Somehow that roman brady, he just... he makes me feel special. Bonnie: Mm. Hattie: And if he'd just give us half a chance, I think we could-- we could make it together. Bonnie: No, no, sweetheart, I getcha, I getcha. I mean, he's got a certain kind of, mmm, rugged handsomeness, you know what I mean? No, no, babe. Babe, no, really. Don't you worry. I got--I got my eye on another guy. Hattie: You do? Bonnie: Uh-huh. Hattie: Who is that? Bonnie: My baby daddy. My fake baby daddy. [Both laugh] Hattie: That lucas is such a cutie pie. Bonnie: Oh, tell me about it. I keep thinking about how it would be with him, you know? Just the two of us raising bon-bon together, making love night and day. Mm. Who knows? You know? Maybe in another life, we could've had a future, but... Hattie: Hey, don't do that. Don't go giving up on your dreams. Bonnie: You're right. To us. To us and making our dreams come true! Both: [Giggling] [Both cooing] Lucas: Great. Chloe: So what did justin say? Lucas: Looks like we have to honor the visitation. Chloe: Oh, son of A... bonnie. Mimi: You hear that, little one? You get to spend some quality time with your mama. Lucas: Guess I'll get her bag together for you. Chloe: Hey, belle? Are you really taking mimi's side in all of this? Belle: Listen, all I want is what's best for the baby, and that is to be with her mother. I wish you could understand. Chloe: No, I don't understand. You don't have any good reason to be representing bonnie lockhart, that card-carrying lowlife. And all that stuff about lucas's past? Are you really gonna use that against him? Belle: Listen... [Sighs] I can't discuss strategy. Chloe: If you do use it, you will destroy him. Don't you realize that? And he will never see his daughter again. How can you live with yourself? Don't you think that that little girl deserves to have her father in her life? Belle: Yes, I do. I think baby bonnie deserves to know her dad. [Suspenseful music] Kate: So are you saying that you wanna have kids right away? Does that mean you and your fiancée are talking about trying right away? Rex: Really? No, we have not discussed that yet. You're gonna have to be patient and be happy with one brand-new grandchild right now. Kate: I'd fine with that. Unless, of course, your sister is secretly engaged. Rex: [Snickers] No, sorry. Cassie is happily single. Kate: You know, I really wish that we had stayed more in contact over the years. I really do. I mean, I know that we don't have a normal parent-child relationship... but... [Chuckles sadly] Rex: Look, it--it's not your fault. And I think that we made up for lost time. You know? And look, I... I know we haven't seen much of each other over the years. I get that, but I still feel really close to you. I mean that. Kate: Even though you don't include me in major life events? Rex: Uh, I promise I will do a--a much better job of that in the future. Kate: That's fine. So listen to me. Since I now know your fiancée is not mimi lockhart-- thank god-- tell me, who is it? Chloe: Listen, I know today was a tough day, and we may have lost the battle. But we haven't lost the war. I know that you're gonna win custody of your little girl. Lucas: I hope so. I just--I don't know, it's hard to be so sure, you know, because belle, she's a good lawyer. Chloe: Yeah, but justin's a great one. Lucas: I know, I know, but you never know. And you told me not to get my hopes up, so why are you doing this to me right now? Chloe: Well, don't listen to me. Lucas: Don't listen to you? That's a first. Chloe: Yeah, well, you should know I'm a pessimist by nature. But that's self- protection, because if you don't get your hopes up, then you don't get disappointed. Lucas: What made you change your mind? Chloe: You. I have faith in you. When you want something, you put your heart and soul into it. You're a fighter. Lucas: You know what? I think I am gonna go talk to justin. I'll go talk to justin. I'll see if we can work up some kind of strategy. Chloe: Yeah. Lucas: I ever tell you how grateful I am to have you on my side? Chloe: We're a team. Don't you forget it. Lucas: We're a good team. Chloe: Mm. Lucas: I just love that little girl so much, and I am not gonna lose her. I can'T. Chloe: [Sighs] Mimi: Oh, belle:, You're the best! Belle: Yeah, yeah, you said that the whole way over. Mimi: I'm just so happy I finally get to spend some time with my sweet little angel, and it's all because of you. Belle: I'm happy to help, but don't make me regret it. You do not run off with this baby. Mimi: I admit, I was tempted. But I won'T. Scout's honor. I know I have to play this through. Belle: Kay. So you're gonna bring baby bonnie back to lucas in one hour. Promise me. Mimi: I promise. Just as long as you promise me you'll win this case. Belle: I'll do my best. Marlena: I wanna thank you. For everything you've done. Kayla: You have thanked me... more than enough. And just seeing you here, healthy and getting stronger-- I can't even tell you how happy that makes me... and all the people who love you. Marlena: Oh! I feel so blessed to have you and roman helping. Kayla: We're the ones that are blessed. Marlena: Now, if john could just sort out this business with hattie, we could get ourselves married. Kayla: Oh, look who's here. Marlena: Hey. Well? John: Hello. Marlena: How did it go with roman? John: Oh, yeah, it, uh... it took a little convincing. Marlena: Really? You mean he'll do it? John: Mm-hmm, but I can't say he's very happy about it. [Sneaky bass music] Marlena: [Gasps] Roman: What the hell happened here? Hattie: The--oh! Oh. [Chuckles] I guess the guard ratted me out about... about having unauthorized visitors, huh? Roman: What visitor? Hattie: No one. No, one. No, just-- just, um.. a delivery woman. Roman: Delivery woman, huh? Hattie: Yeah. Nobody said I couldn't have takeout. So if you're-- if you're not here to lecture me, what are you doing here? Roman: Bringing you this... from buddy's burger bar. Hattie: Oh! [Gasps] Finally! [Inhales] Mmm! Heaven. Roman: Well, you know what? You've been such a big help through all this, that, uh, I wanted to do something nice for you. Hattie: Oh! Oh. Well...why do I get they feeling that, um, you have some ulterior motive? Roman: Because I do. Look, I, uh... you know, I haven't been around much lately. I haven't, uh... visited, but, uh... made me realize that, um... believe it or not... I missed you. Hattie: [Laughs] What? Hattie: Wait a minute. I don't think i heard you right. 'Cause I think you S... said that you missed me? Roman: Well, what can I say? You grew on me, like a weed. Hattie: Huh? Roman: [Chuckles] I'm just joking, okay? No, it's, uh... more like a flower. A very pretty, very delicate flower. Hattie: Oh! Oh! Wow. That I--that is the sweetest thing that anybody has ever said...to... [Grunts] To...to... [Retches loudly] [Groans, coughs] Roman: [Sighs] [Phone beeps] Kayla: Oh. Oh, it's, uh--it's jenn. I should probably call her back. All right, you guys. Marlena: Soon, thank you. John: Thanks again. Kayla: Yeah. John: How you holding up? Marlena: I just want to get out of here. John: Ah, it won't be long now. Marlena: Say... do you think that roman really can get through to hattie? John: I hope so. The world needs dr. Evans back. And I need to... get out this living nightmare of being married to hattie adams. Marlena: [Chuckles] Oh, dear. [Both sigh] Kate: Hey, roman. It's kate. Thanks for the heads-up about our son being in town, and that's sarcasm, just in case you don't get it. Anyway, what did you think about his fiancée? I mean, I have to admit, when he told me, I was a little bit surprised. What about you? Bonnie: Poor hattie. Such a lightweight. [Snorts] Guess I'm gonna just have to take this part on the road solo. Chloe: Bonnie. Why aren't you with your baby? [Tense music] Belle: Wow, she doesn't fuss at all. She is super chill. Mimi: She definitely doesn't get that from my side of the family. Belle: [Chuckles] All right, well, you enjoy your time with her, and I'll see you later, okay? Mimi: Thank you, belle. So sorry to put you through all this. Mommy got herself in real bind. Maybe if I had just told rex the truth in the first place, things wouldn't have gotten so crazy. There's nothing I can do about it now. That ship has sailed. Rex: Mimi. Mimi: Rex? Rex: [Chuckles nervously]
