At the Brady Pub, Kate held up her phone while using the speakerphone feature. She wanted Philip to hold up Parker to the camera so she could see him. Chloe walked in and saw Parker. Kate ended the call when Chloe tried to grab the phone from her declaring Parker is her son. Kate believed that Chloe would have thought twice before leaving Parker on a pier when she decided to jump if she was concerned about being a mother. Chloe started asking questions about Parker. Kate got a call from Stefano and planned to meet him at Chez Rouge. Before Kate left, she and Chloe got into an argument. Then Kate left. Quinn showed up and offered to comfort Chloe. She wanted to fix herself up so they could start over. While she was gone, Quinn got a call. He said to the person that they knew what to do. He was onto something else right now so the other person had to handle it. At a storage shed, Fake Rafe wondered where Sami and Rafe were. He was gagged and tied to a chair. At a hotel, Rafe and Sami were disguised in hats and sunglasses. She was happy that they found somewhere to put Fake Rafe and that Bo warned them that Tim was going to use the safehouse. Rafe had a memory of their past. A flood of memories returned. Sami asked if he remembered. He said he did. He mentioned his sister and the kids. He wanted to know how they were. She said they were good and they missed him. They kissed and happily went to bed. At the DiMera mansion, Taylor wanted EJ to answer her. She wanted to know if he was responsible for running the drug cartel that Troy worked for. He wanted to know who told her. Taylor told him that Troy was the one who hit Arianna and left her to die. She asked if Troy was selling drugs for him. She wanted the truth. He wanted her to think about what she wanted to say. He asked if she wanted the truth. EJ poured them drinks, but she threw hers in his face when he sarcastically said he was a good person. She asked again if he was the reason why Arianna was killed. When he looked at her, she realized he did. He said that it wasn't on his order. He said he didn't know anything about Troy being involved in Arianna's death until he read about the attack on Melanie in the paper. He had a flashback about finding out about Troy. EJ told Taylor he wanted to turn himself in when he found out about Arianna. She asked if he was going to turn himself in. He couldn't do it. He didn't want to go to jail because of his children even though the real reason was because Stefano talked him out of turning himself in. Taylor didn't care for EJ's reason. He told her that this is the man he is. He said he wanted to be the man she wanted him to be, but he couldn't be. The two continued to talk about his involvement in Arianna's death. At the pub, Chloe noticed a drink on the table. She asked if he was trying to get lucky again. He said no she saw Daniel and Jennifer together and took a drink. Daniel got a text and had to leave. Quinn got her another drink. When Jennifer went in the pub to talk to Caroline and get lunch. Chloe wanted to leave. At Chez Rouge, Stefano met Kate for dinner and told her he wasn't going to take Vivian's offer. He didn't want to upset Kate. Sami and Rafe made love. Rafe said they had to deal with Fake. At Quinn's hotel room, Chloe and Quinn made love. She called out Daniel's name. She apologized. He was okay with it and went back to making love. Fake Rafe got the bindings free from one leg and rocked the chair backward. At the DiMera mansion, EJ thought Taylor might forgive him if she never found out what he did to Sami and Rafe. Sami and Rafe went to the storage shed and found Fake Rafe on the floor. Rafe sat him up. Sami kicked him. Rafe said something about paying for something. Sami pulled out Fake Rafe's card and suggested they use it. Fake Rafe asked what it was. Sami asked if it was his ticket out of Salem. She asked if it was the money the DiMeras gave him to ruin her life. He said he concealed it when he lost it.
Kate: Oh. Philip, hold him up to the phone so he can see me. Oh, that's so cute. Parker, hi. Wave to grandma. Chloe: Oh, my God. My baby. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: I upset you. I'm sorry. Jennifer: No, you really didn't. Daniel: I only meant to say-- Jennifer: You didn't upset me in a bad way. It's just, for so long... you know, with Jack... or without Jack, I never really felt... Daniel: Appreciated. Jennifer: That's really self-pitying. It's terrible. Daniel: No, it's not. It's not at all. Jennifer: But listen, whatever the reason... I don't know, I just-- I got really emotional when you said all those sweet things. Gosh, now I feel like a fool. This is ridiculous. Daniel: No, no, no, no. You? Jennifer: Yes. Daniel: Never. Come here. Never, never, never. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxine: Dr. Jonas. I need you, like, yesterday. Daniel: Okay. On my way. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe 2: [Muffled] Where the hell did they go? [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Well, I don't think anyone recognized us. Sami: [Laughs] I'm just glad we found a place to put the creature. Rafe: Yeah. Sami: And that Uncle Bo warned us that someone was gonna be using the safe house. Rafe: Right? Can you imagine? I could just see Tim walking in on us... just like that time you thought that you were sneaking out on me when you thought I was in the shower. [SCENE_BREAK] [Door closes] Taylor: Answer me, EJ. Are you responsible for running the drug ring that Troy worked for? EJ: Who told you this? Taylor: Troy killed Arianna Hernandez. He ran her down, and he left her to die. Was he selling drugs for you when he did? EJ, tell me the truth. EJ: You think about what you want me to say. Do you want me to tell you the truth? [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: I want to see my baby! Kate: Philip, I'll call you later. What--have you lost your mind? Chloe: That is my son. Kate: What are you gonna do, have a conversation with an infant? Chloe: You were. Kate: You know, if you were really concerned about mothering that child, you would have had second thoughts before you left him all alone in his stroller on the pier and jumped into the river. Chloe: Did Philip say if he's all right? Is he sleeping through the night or eating solid food yet? [SCENE_BREAK] [Cell phone ringing] Kate: Oh, my God. Oh, wonderful. [Sighs] Now is not the time. Stefano: Are you still mad at me? Kate: I'm very busy, Stefano. What is it? Stefano: I'm at Chez Rouge. I would like you to meet me here. Kate: Now? Stefano: Yes. Please. Kate: Fine. Fine, I'll be there in 15 minutes. I take it that you will not off yourself over this. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: As if you care. Kate: No, I don't. But I also don't like messes. You know, the funny thing is, you want people to believe that you're getting healthy, sane, and reasonable. Chloe: You don't know anything about me. Kate: Oh, I know more about you than you think I do. And a little hint, Chloe-- hanging around bars in the broad daylight, that's not going to make people think that you're on the road to wholesome living. Chloe: You don't even care that my child was taken from me. Kate: You did that all by yourself. And as for Parker, he's safer without his mother. Now, what does that say about you? [SCENE_BREAK] Quinn: Can I help? [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Oh, God. Sami: You remember? Rafe: Oh. I remember. Oh, my God, it's you. [Chuckles] It's you. Blue eyes. Am I right? Sami: Rafe. Rafe: Oh, my God. This-- my family... my sister... what about your kids? Your kids--what about the kids? How are the kids? I miss them so much! Sami: Oh, they miss you too. They're good. They're-- oh, my God, I'm so-- I'm so relieved. Rafe: Oh, my God. And... you never stopped believing in me. You didn't. You never doubted me for a minute, did you? You knew I'd get my memory back. You knew. You knew. Sami: [Laughs] Rafe: Oh, God! Oh, my God! Oh, this is so weird. It's like waking up from a dream. Sami: Rafe, it was a nightmare. Rafe: Whatever-- whatever it was, I'm so glad you're here. I'm so glad. Sami: Rafe? Rafe: Yeah? Sami: Kiss me. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Regardless of my last name... I'm as noble and honorable as they come. I'm a man of tremendous integrity... and virtue. I have a heart that never hardens. I have a temper that never tires. And I have a touch that never hurts. So come on, let's have a drink. To my innate, unfailing goodness. [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: Oh, hey. Scott: Hey. Jennifer: How'd, uh, your checkup go? Scott: Well, I'm as healthy as an aging ex-high-school running back can be. Jennifer: Hey, let's not forget you led this team to the championship on your back. Scott: Hey, that's right-- senior year. I didn't think you went to any of the games. Jennifer: You know what? I didn't. But, you know, it's all everyone talked about for weeks. You know that. Scott: That's right--it was all Frankie all the time for you back then. Jennifer: Yeah, it was. And, um, you know, then it was Jack. Scott: Yeah. Yeah. Long time ago. Jennifer: Yeah. Very. Can I ask you something? Scott: Sure. Jennifer: When you asked me to grab a cup of coffee earlier, were you just being friendly, or were you asking me out on a date? Scott: You've obviously been off the market for a while, that or I am one lousy date asker-outer. Jennifer: Yikes. Scott: "Yikes"? Jennifer: You know, I didn't tell you this before because I'm really naive about this while "date asking out" thing. Scott: You're seeing someone. Jennifer: Yeah, I am. You know what? It's--it's really a new thing, but, um... we get along really well, and we're just trying to keep it neat, you know? Scott: Well, I hope this guy knows how lucky he is. Jennifer: Oh, no, I'm the lucky one, really. He is the most incredible man. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: I appreciate the gallantry, Quinn, but I'm really gonna be bad company now. Quinn: Oh, hey, come on, we had a date. Chloe: I know. And I'm sorry. I just... I didn't expect what just happened to happen. Quinn: Well, I can have Cruella put down. Yeah, you just say the word. Chloe: What? Quinn: That woman you were talking to--the one who made you cry. Chloe: Well, she didn't really make me cry. It's what she reminded me of that did. Quinn: Who is she? Chloe: [Sighs] My former mother-in-law. Quinn: Ah. Well, at least let me help you forget about her. Chloe: I'd like that. Quinn: First step is not talking about her anymore today. Chloe: Okay. You're very persuasive. Quinn: Ah, see, you're easy. Chloe: Unh... Quinn: That came out wrong. Chloe: You know, however it came out, it's true. Quinn: No, it's not. Whatever happened between us was just a misunderstanding. That's all. Chloe: You mean how you took me back to your hotel room, had your way with me, and then left on out-- that misunderstanding? Quinn: I have an idea. How about we rewind this conversation and start over? Chloe: I need to rewind my life and start over. [Sighs] Quinn: I'm so sorry about all this, Chloe. I really like you, you know. And I want to try and do this right. Chloe: Okay, look, I'm a little on edge, but I did agree to go out with you, so I'm gonna go fix myself up, and we'll start over again... like you said. Quinn: Sounds great. [Cell phone ringing] Yeah? You know what to do. I'm onto something else right now. You handle it. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: You gonna seduce me now? Rafe: I don't know. I can't remember. Sami: Oh, my God, I love you. I love you so much. And you have to know that there was never anyone for me but you. You have always been in my heart. Rafe: I know. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Well, I will assume that means that you're not very pleased with me. Taylor: God, you hide behind your grandiosity and your sarcasm and... God, you think you're so clever. Are you the reason that Arianna Hernandez is dead? Look at me, EJ. EJ... look at me. Oh, my God. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Hmm. Looking to get lucky again? Quinn: I remembered your drink--that's all. Chloe: I'm not so sure that lemon drops are my drink, after the last debacle. Besides, my ex-mother-in-law just made a crack about how I hang out in bars in the broad daylight too much. So I'm just a little sensitive. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: I got a text. I should have known. Jennifer: Oh, you have to go back to the hospital? Daniel: Yeah, so much for my break. I'm sorry, really. I'm sorry-- Jennifer: It's okay. I'm the daughter of two doctors. It's completely normal to me. Daniel: Well, go get some lunch for yourself. Jennifer: Maybe I'll get lunch for both of us, and then I can bring some to you. Daniel: Well, I would like that. Yeah. You know, um, by the way... Jennifer: What? Daniel: I'm just--I'm glad you're not going out with that guy, um... [Snaps fingers] Scott. Yeah. Jennifer: Oh. What would make you-- Daniel: Well, I just happened to be close by when you guys met up again, and I couldn't help overhearing. But anyway, I hope you're not turning him down because I made you feel-- Jennifer: No, you didn't make me feel anything. I-I did it because of how I feel... on my own, just me. Daniel: Okay. Then I will see you in a while. Jennifer: Okay. Daniel: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: What's all this? Stefano: This? [Chuckles] Isn't it obvious? Kate: Yes. Obviously, you want something. Stefano: An elegant dinner with my wife, yes. Kate: And then what? Stefano: That is entirely up to you. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: You had a woman killed. EJ: It was not on my orders. I didn't know anything about Troy being involved in Arianna's death until I read about it-- when I read about the attack on Melanie in the newspaper. [SCENE_BREAK] [Footsteps approaching] Stefano: Ah. It's a terrible thing, Elvis. EJ: Father! It says here that Troy admitted that he's the hit-and-run driver who killed Arianna. Stefano: Yes. EJ: Wait a second. I was told he wasn't coming back to Salem when he was released from prison. Stefano: What difference would it have made if you knew? EJ: I-- it-- I do. Stefano: Look, nothing would have prevented that tragic death of that poor girl, all right? EJ: Is this it, hmm? Is this what it is! Stefano: Arianna's death is not your fault, Elvis. EJ: The hell it isn't. This has to stop. Father, this has to stop. [Sighs] This has to stop. Stefano: What does that mean? EJ: When I found out what happened to Arianna... her death--I wanted to turn myself in. I still do. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: [Chuckles] Sami: I missed you so much. Rafe: I missed you too. Sami: I love you. Rafe: I love you. [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: Hi, there. Caroline: Oh, hi, honey. How are you? Jennifer: I am great. How are you? Caroline: Oh, I'm fine, fine. It's so nice to see you upbeat... and no more polka dots. Jennifer: Yes, I agree. You know, it has really been a hard few months, but things are definitely looking up. [SCENE_BREAK] Quinn: Not to give you the wrong idea, but I think you could use another drink. Chloe: Oh, yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: Are you? Are you gonna turn yourself in? EJ: [Sighs] You know, if I could have turned myself in that first day, I would have done it. Taylor: But you didn't. Why? [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: No, no, no, no, no. You not go into do that. I will not allow you to give yourself up to the police. EJ: That girl is dead because of me... Father. Stefano: That girl is dead because of a cowardly act by a man who did not know what he was doing. EJ: We have to stop this. Stefano: Well, what about Taylor? You say that you love her, for goodness sake! At least that's what you said to me! EJ: What are you saying? Stefano: What am I saying? What about this grand person of yours huh? What is she gonna think of you when she realizes you are connected with murder who in drug cartel that worked for you? [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: That's why. Taylor: And what, is this supposed to endear you to me, that you skirted jail for the sake of your children? EJ: [Breathes deeply] And you. Taylor: You tried to cover this up. And you couldn't. What do you think? You think that I would be moved by this? What, your nobility to... stay out of prison for being a drug dealer and an accessory to murder? EJ: I know you're not falling in love with me, Taylor. You're falling in love with the man you think I am... falling in love with the man that I want to be. But that's not who I am. I am this guy. If I could not be this guy, I'd take that offer, and I'd run. But this is who I am. [SCENE_BREAK] Caroline: It is really great to see you happy. Jennifer: Oh, thank you so much, Caroline. Caroline: You know, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for you since you were a little girl. Oh, you've had a heck of a hard run lately. Jennifer: Uh, no arguments from me. Caroline: I don't know. It seems in life, things just go round again. You know, the good, the bad, and the boring. Jennifer: Yes. You know what? I was craving some boring after the past few months. But I don't know. I just--I thought I wasn't gonna find any good. And I was pleasantly surprised. Caroline: That's nice. You and whoever you're going to share these salads with, enjoy your lunch on the house. Jennifer: Thank you. Bye. Caroline: Bye. Jennifer: Good to see you. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: I want to get out of here. Quinn: You got it. Chloe: I mean I want to go home. Quinn: I'm not sure you'll take this the right way coming from me, but I don't think you should be alone right now. Chloe: You're right. Coming from you, I'm not so sure either. Quinn: Look, whatever happened before, all I want now is to be your friend. I think you're a really sweet person, and what can I say-- I like you. I feel a real connection with you. Hey, look at me. I want to help you. Chloe: People don't usually want to do that for me, Quinn. Quinn: Let me try. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: [Chuckles] How long, darling, are you gonna make me work for this? It's Vivian. Kate: Uh-- please, not while I'm eating. Stefano: You have nothing to fear. Kate: All of this is very, very lovely, but do not think for a minute I believe that it was to appease what you thought was my jealousy. Stefano: Well, what did you think it was for? Kate: I think you're keeping something from me. Stefano: Women. Kate: Yes, I am. Stefano: All right. Yes... Vivian came to me with an offer. Kate: Oh, please tell me it was just business. Stefano: Well, of course it was business. It's just that I'm not interested. Kate: And why not? Stefano: Well, I mean, if, you know, there's a chance that it would take away my wife's faith in me... it's not worth it. Kate: Since when have I had faith in you? Stefano: [Chuckles] It's not worth losing my wife over. Does that sound better? Kate: Hmm. Yes, that sounds lovely. Stefano: All right, then... am I forgiven? Kate: Well, that depends. What's for dessert? [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: This is insane. This is insane. In one breath, you tell me you are a drug lord, and in the next, you tell me that you want to be a better man. For me? EJ: Why is that so hard to understand? Taylor: Why don't you want to be a better man for yourself? [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: That's what I'm saying. I do. All right. Okay. I won't call the police. Stefano: Good. Good! And don't talk like that anymore. The last thing I need is you behind bars trying to make some kind of a statement that's gonna fall on deaf ears anyway. EJ: I won't turn myself in, but this is the last day that things stay the way they are. Stefano: Meaning? EJ: So...I hear you might be interested in a little bit of my business. It's yours. Do whatever you want with it. I gave it up... the day that I found out Arianna died. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: So what am I supposed to do, huh? Am I supposed to throw myself into your arms in gratitude and respect because you gave your dirty business to someone else to run? EJ: I tried to fix it. All right? Oh, I understand there's nothing that I could do that would bring Arianna back. I live with that every day. Taylor: Do you know what your problem is? Do you know what it is? You let your father rule your life. EJ: That's not true. Taylor: No, isn't it? Isn't it? If you had a shred of decency in you, you--you would have paid your debts, and you would have made amends. But it's not what you did, is it? EJ: If there were anything that I could have done to make up for what happened, then I would have done it. But I know that I can't! Taylor: No, you can't. But you should have. You should have turned yourself in, EJ. EJ: Fine. You do it. Come on. Oh, I deserve to be punished, right? You do it. Do it. [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: Oh, there you are. Daniel: Hey. Jennifer: Brought you some lunch. Actually, I brought us some lunch. So whenever you want to take a break... Daniel: I think I will take it right now. Jennifer: Really? Daniel: Really, really. Jennifer: That's great. Well, anyway, I brought two salads from Brady Pub and, of course, you know, the incredible Brady clam chowder, which is the best. Hi. Daniel: Hello. Jennifer: We're at work. Daniel: I don't see anyone around. Jennifer: You don't? Daniel: I don't. Maxine: My, oh, my... those two are getting friendlier by the minute. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: What are we doing here? Quinn: We're putting some distance between you and what happened there. Chloe: In your hotel room? Quinn: Yeah. Look, um... last time... look, this time it's different. Chloe: Really? Why? Because now you know I'm not a prostitute? Quinn: Hey, stop. Chloe: What do you want... aside from the obvious? Quinn: I hated seeing you so upset. Chloe: You don't even know me. Quinn: I'd like to. Chloe, you're a beautiful woman, and you deserve to be happy. Chloe: I don't remember the last time I was happy. Quinn: Hey... well, I wouldn't presume to think that I could make you happy... at least not yet. But maybe I could help you forget for a while. Chloe: I want to. Quinn: So do I. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Come on. You gonna call the police? Yes or no? Taylor: How could you let this go so far, EJ? EJ: If you're not going to call the police, I suggest you leave. I'm sure you prefer not to be in my presence anyway. Taylor: Wow, I do not know how you live with yourself. EJ: I can't just turn back time. So I live with the guilt... every day... of knowing that Arianna died, in part, because of who I am. I carry that burden with me, together with the shame... of your being disgraced by me. Taylor: So you're not selling drugs anymore? EJ: I have not been involved in one illegal business activity with my family since that day. I'm done. Taylor: So what does it leave, huh? Olive Oil Importing? EJ: It leaves me redeemable, perhaps. But at least clear that, moving forward, no one else is gonna suffer because of my direct or indirect involvement. Taylor: And you made that decision because of Arianna's death. EJ: That... and for one other reason. But it doesn't really matter now, does it? Nicole's going to be my wife for the foreseeable future. You can take what I've just told you, and you can do whatever you want with it. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: It's incredible. I feel real close to you. I don't ever want to move. Sami: Me either. Rafe: Ugh. We do have to go and deal with what's-his-face, you know. Sami: You have no idea how much I want to kick that guy in the-- Rafe: Yeah. Not if I beat you to it. Hi, this other store has these for 20 cents less. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: So you see, Katherine... a fine meal... a spring passeggiare, and all is right with the world. Kate: Oh, my husband the Pollyanna. Stefano: What? What, you don't agree? Kate: As long as Vivian Alamain is breathing, not to mention stirring up trouble between us, no, all is not right with the world. Stefano: [Chuckles] [Wind blows] Kate: Ooh! Stefano: Ahh... Kate: Where did that come from? Stefano: Vento malato, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. [Chuckles] Kate: "An ill wind is coming your way"? Stefano: You see? I'm not a Pollyanna after all. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: God, what am I supposed to do with this? EJ: So you take the business, and you never contact me again. [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Yeah. If I can just find a way... to keep Taylor from finding out that I'm the reason Samantha lost Rafe... maybe she'll find it in her heart to forgive my other trespasses. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Oh... Daniel. I'm sorry. Quinn: Don't be. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Okay. Let's go deal with this. Oh. [Chuckling] What's going on there, buddy? Having a bad day, huh? Sami: Disgusting low-life. Rafe: Who's about to get paid back in full. Sami: Oh, yeah. And we're gonna use this to do it. Rafe 2: [Muffled] What's that? Sami: Are you kidding me? You know exactly what it is, don't you? I took it by accident when I walked out on you. But it's your ticket out of Salem, isn't it? It's the money the DiMeras paid you to ruin my life. This is how you're gonna access it. Rafe 2: Yeah, whatever. As soon as I realized that I lost it, I made a few calls, canceled it. [Chuckles] You got nothin'. [NEXT_ON] Nicole: Why don't you go far, far away and get your own damn life? EJ: I've made a decision. Sami: Are you giving up on me?
