Bonnie told Victor that she heard him on the phone plotting his brother's murder. Nicole came home so Brady wanted to talk. Kate wanted to tell Roman, Marlena, and John about the inmate that told Clyde that Will was alive. Brady kept talking about Nicole going to see Brandon. Nicole wanted to talk to Brady about Eric. Kate told Roman, Marlena, and John that Rolf was the one who told Clyde about Will being alive. They couldn't believe that Rolf knew about Will. Kate told them that he revived Will. They mentioned how he had did that before. Victor denied putting a hit out on Deimos. Bonnie showed him the note she wrote about his conversation. Victor told her that Xander didn't kill Deimos. Brady let Nicole know that he knew she lied about being with Brandon. Nicole confessed that she was with Eric and slept with him. Brady went ballistic over her being with Eric. Victor wanted to know what Bonnie planned on doing with the info. Marlena suspected that Rolf was taking orders from Stefano to keep Will alive. Nicole apologized for being with Eric. Brady thought that Nicole wanted to work things out with him. Nicole let him know that she loved Eric and wanted to be with him. Brady felt like he threw Eric in Nicole's arms. He implied that she was done with him after everything he did for her. She said that she was grateful for what he for her. Brady threw up in her face that he covered up the fact that she killed Deimos. Bonnie told Victor that she would keep quiet, but he had to leave Maggie and marry her. He didn't want to marry her because he loved Maggie. John/Marlena and Roman/Kate talked about why Stefano would let Chad be accused of being the necktie killer if he knew what Ben did. They also talked about the other victims being dead. Marlena started to wonder if it was possible for Will to be alive. Marlena and company recapped what Stefano did to everyone. John wanted to see Rolf, but Kate told him that they couldn't go see him. Victor refused to marry Bonnie. He reminded her that she was with Justin. She said that she wanted to be with him. She also told him that she would tell the world what he did if he didn't marry her. Nicole continued to explain what happened with Eric. She didn't want Brady to blame Eric for what happened. Brady made snide remarks about they did together. Kate told the others that Rolf wasn't at Statesville. John called the ISA and they were going to look for Rolf. They believed there was a chance that Will could be alive. Bonnie told Victor that he would go to prison if he didn't marry her. He told her that she didn't have any proof. Bonnie told him that Hope would be by the book to solve the case. Maggie saw them together and wanted to know what happened. Nicole let Brady know that she was taking Holly to the farmhouse. Brady wanted her to get out of his face. Marlena called Sami to tell her about Will. Nicole apologized to Brady again. Brady wanted her to pack her things, get Holly, and leave the house. Nicole called Eric and told him what happened with Brady. She let him know that they could be together.
Julie: What are you doing? Chloe: Making an executive decision. Victor: What are you talking about, adrienne? Bonnie: Your dirty little secret. I know all about it. Victor: Would you stop talking in code, woman? Just spit it out. Bonnie: I heard you on the phone admitting to plotting your brother's murder. [Dramatic music] Nicole: [Sighs] Doing this to brady, hurting him like this, oh, my god, even just the thought. I-- but it has to be done, and the only way I can do it is if I hold on to what we have: Our love, our future. I will call you when I'm on my way back with holly. I love you too. Brady: [Sighs] [Fire crackling] Welcome home. We were worried about you last night. Nicole: Um... I'm--I'm sorry for leaving the way I did. Brady: No, you had an emergency. I mean, your brother called, and you had to go. That's who you are. You don't look like you've gotten a lot of sleep, though. Is everything okay with brandon? Nicole: You know, maybe I should go check on holly, and then we can catch up. Brady: She's sleeping-- she's sleeping like an angel. We can catch up now. Marlena: So another inmate told clyde that, what, it was a lie, that ben didn't kill him? Roman: And we know who this inmate is? Kate: Oh, we definitely know him. Roman: Well, kate, don't keep us in suspense. Who is it? Marlena: Oh. Oh, my goodness. Look who's here. John: It's me, honey. Marlena: Hi, sweetie. John: Kate called me when she was coming back from the prison, wanted me to drop in. What's going on? Kate: John, thank you for--for coming over. I wanted to-- well, before I talk to sonny about the possibility that will could be alive, I wanted to run what I learned by you. John: Why me? Kate: Because you have history with the inmate that clyde spoke with-- a long and unpleasant history. [Sweeping music] Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. Brady: So how was your night with brandon that you left everything, your daughter, to run to his side? Even though it was a false alarm, you stayed. I mean, he's lucky. He's lucky to have a sister like you that would do-- Nicole: Okay, brady, stop. Please. Brady: What's the problem? Nicole: We need to talk. Brady: It sounds serious. Nicole: I don't even know where to begin. Um... I care about you so much. Brady: Uh-huh. Nicole: Oh, this is really hard for me. Brady: Hey. If you care about me like I know you do, you should just say what you need to say. Just say it. Nicole: Okay, uh... I lied to you, brady. I wasn't with brandon last night. I was with eric. Marlena: This inmate is an enemy of john's? I don't much like the sound of that. Roman: Yeah, and it's all the more reason not to trust him. John: You think he was telling clyde the truth? Kate: I don't know. Roman: All right, all right. Tell us who it is. Who told clyde that will's alive? Kate: Stefano's old cohort in crime dr. Wilhelm rolf. [Dramatic music] Andrew wanted nothing to do with his volcano demonstration. Julie: Club chloe? You can't just put that sign up. Chloe: You mean change the name without running it by you? Kind of like what you did to me? Julie: Oh, come on. You're being petty. Chloe: Uh, it's just as much my club as yours. Julie: Maggie, tell her she's being ridiculous. Chloe: Tell her that I'm right. Maggie: Have a nice day, ladies. Chloe: [Sighs] Julie: Chloe, when we pooled our money to win the auction, I thought you understood that I planned on naming the place after my husband's nightclub. Chloe: No, you never made that clear. Julie: Well, maybe you weren't listening. Chloe: Well, maybe you thought that you could just walk all over me. Julie: Maybe you don't know who you're talking to. Marlena: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Dr. Rolf was the one that told clyde that will is alive? Roman: The crazy scientist who helped stefano carry out all his sick plans? John: Saved your life once. Roman: Yeah, and almost ended yours in the process. John: How did rolf end up at statesville? Kate: I don't have the details of that. But I do know it was one of his mad scientist experiments gone wrong. John: Did rolf specifically seek out clyde? Kate: No. Clyde started the conversation. Then after he introduced himself, rolf realized that he was the father of the necktie killer. And that's when he announced that will was very much alive. Marlena: Well, how could he know that? Kate: Rolf claims that he's the one who revived will. Victor: I don't know what you think you heard, but it's nonsense. Bonnie: Is that a denial? Victor: I'm not going to listen to this. Bonnie: "You will tell no one of our plan to kill deimos. Do I make myself clear, xander? Or do I have to remind you"-- oh, yes--"what will happen if you cross me?" See, I wrote it down to make sure I got all the words just right. Victor: That was the day I told you to leave the room. Bonnie: Oh, and I did. But I did pick up the extension. And the connection was crystal clear all the way from greece. Victor: As with everything else in his miserable life, xander failed. He didn't kill deimos. Bonnie: But deimos is dead. Victor: Not my doing. Bonnie: [Laughs] Yay for you, victor. But if xander didn't kill deimos, come on, victor. Who did? Brady: Of course you were with my brother. Nicole: You already knew. Brady: I was worried about you. I couldn't get through to you, so I--I had to call brandon this morning. You should have heard him on the other end of the phone when I asked him about you. He... had no idea what I was talking about. It wasn't hard to figure out after that. You know, nicole, for weeks, you've been telling me that there was nothing going on between you and my brother. You realize that. Nicole: That was the truth. Brady: Do you know the word "truth"? Do you know what that means? How about "love," "honor," "trust"? Do you know those words? Nicole: Okay, look, I never meant for this to happen. Brady: You sure? Because you dumped your daughter off with chloe, a daughter that we fought really hard to get back, so you could go have a romantic rendezvous with my brother. Nicole: It wasn't like that. Brady: Then tell me what it was like. Nicole: Eric never should have quit the horton center. I went to the farmhouse to convince him to come back. Brady: What did you do to convince him? Nicole, I want to hear it from you. I want you to look at me, and I want you to say the words to me. Turn around. Nicole: I slept with him. Roman: This is not possible. Will was beyond reviving. Gabi found his body. There was no pulse. Marlena: And--and sami and lucas saw him in the morgue. He was dead. John: When is rolf claiming he revived will? Kate: I mean, I wish I could tell you, but I-- apparently, all he said was that he did it. Roman: Well, and then what? I mean, the guy comes up with this crazy story. There's got to be more to it. What happened to will? Where is he? Why didn't he come back to us? Kate: I'm sorry; I don't know. But clyde swears that's all that rolf told him. Marlena: Well, it's outrageous. Kate: And yet we want to believe it, right? I know. And the really insane thing is, clyde really believed that rolf was telling the truth. Roman: Yeah, well, I'm not sure I'm ready to trust a sociopath and a crazy doctor. Kate: No, I understand. I understand that you're skeptical. I am too. But then I keep going back to that one question. Why would he make it up? John: I don't know. Doesn't add up. And supposedly rolf had left town years ago. Why would he just happen to be back here when ben attacked will? I mean, it's highly unlikely. Roman: And why would he take it upon himself to do something like that? Why, huh? Marlena: Well, he wouldn'T. Not on his own. Not unless he was still following orders from stefano. Victor: How should I know who killed deimos? Bonnie: Would you tell me if you did know? Victor: You think I would have let sonny spend all that time in jail if I knew? That's what this is all about, isn't it? You're upset. I understand that. Bonnie: Of course I'm upset. My sweet boy had to stay behind bars while you sat in your comfy chair, drinking your scotch, plotting to off your creepy brother. You could go to prison for that, you know. [Suspenseful music] Victor: So what do you plan on doing with this information? Bonnie: [Sighs] Well, now, that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Nicole: Brady, I am so sorry. Brady: Stop saying that you're sorry. Nicole: I just really need you to understand-- Brady: Need me to do what? What do you need me to understand? That you're a liar? I get that. You know, for weeks, maybe even months, nicole, you've been telling me that--that there's nothing going on between you and my brother, that I've been misreading everything, that I've been misinterpreting everything, everything that's been in front of my face. Nicole: I swear to you nothing happened between eric and me until last night. Eric told me how he felt. Brady: And then you hit the sack, right? That's when you did it? All that passion just overwhelmed the two of you? You had to do it? Yeah? Nicole: I know what I did was wrong. Brady: So--so what? What do you want to do now? You want me to forgive you? You want us to figure out a way to work past this, huh? Oh, you got to be--you got to be kidding me. Nicole: I want... I want to be with him. I love eric, and I-- I want to be with him. Brady: You love him? Nicole: Brady, the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you. You have been my best friend. You've fought for me and holly. You helped us run to canada. And when I was kidnapped by xander, you-- Brady: I sent my brother to save you. Hell, I threw him into your arms. Nicole: No. It wasn't like that. I was still so angry with eric. I hated him for what he did to daniel. Brady: Oh, yeah. Fine line between love and hate, isn't there? Nicole: I realized that anger was just a wall and I couldn't admit to myself that I love the man that killed daniel. Brady: But you can now. You don't need me anymore, do you? You have your daughter. You can--you can move on, can't you? Is that what you want to do? Nicole: Brady. I never used you. And I will always be grateful for everything you've done. Brady: Like covering up the fact that you murdered deimos? Victor: If this is your misguided idea of revenge, I don't care how much justin and sonny love you. You mention one word of this to anyone-- Bonnie: You'll what? Send xander after me too? Victor: What has gotten into you? I apologized for sonny. I apologized to sonny. Give it a rest. Now I got heartburn. Bonnie: Oh, victor, I don't mean to upset you, all right? I was just thinking of the possibilities of what could happen if something like this got out. I'd never say anything. We're family. Victor: Loyalty is very important to this family. Bonnie: And you have mine. There's just one tiny thing I need you to do for me in return. Victor: What? Bonnie: Divorce maggie. And marry me. Julie: I know it was a bit impetuous when we bought this place. It all happened so fast. There was no time to talk things through. But, chloe, dear, if you have had a change of heart, I'll find a way. I'll be more than happy to buy you out. Chloe: No, no, no, you're not doing that. You are not taking my dream away from me. Julie: Okay. Then we're stuck with each other. We can either bicker like congress, or we can work together and make some decisions together. Chloe: Well, okay. Let's start with the name. Julie: Okay. No-brainer. Doug's place evokes beautiful memories of salem's history. And it has an aura of class. Chloe: Well, how about an aura of fun or cool or hip? Club chloe would promise all that. That's where the money and revenue is, not in memories and history. Julie: Clue chloe sounds like a diva's vanity trip to me. Chloe: Well, I think it sounds like a perfect name, so it stays. Julie: I have already told doug it's going to be named doug's place. Chloe: Well, maybe you should tell him that you didn't consult with your partner first. Julie: Okay, partner. You can be the one to break his heart. Chloe: Me? Julie: When I showed him that sign, he was thrilled. His eyes sparkled. His face glowed with happiness. But listen, if it's more important to you to have your name in lights, fine. That's more important than honoring a true gentleman, a man of great talent. Okay, if that's the way it's going to be, then you can be the one to break the news to him. Roman: [Sighs] Marlena: Stefano was still living in salem when will died. Maybe he was pulling the strings. Roman: But listen. Chad was a primary suspect in the necktie killings. Stefano was trying to clear his name. If stefano knew that ben was behind the murders... Kate: Well, then why would he revive will and keep the identity of the necktie killer a secret? Roman: Exactly. If stefano knew that ben was the real killer, he damn well would have gotten chad exonerated. John: Well, that's true to a point, roman. But you got to remember we're talking about stefano here. He was obsessed with two things. One was playing god with all of our lives, and number two was you, darling. Kate: So stefano had rolf revive will and then kept it a secret from everyone just to get revenge on marlena? Roman: You know what? That is not beyond the realm of possibility. And who else would rolf be working for? Marlena: Do you think it's true? Do you think that rolf revived will? Do you think he's alive somewhere? John: Well, I think we're all aware that rolf is capable of pulling off the impossible. Kate: He brought you back from the dead. Maybe he did the same with will. Marlena: What do you think? Is our grandson alive? Copd makes it hard to breathe. Roman: Clyde and rolf aren't much of a foundation to build truth on. John: I'm with you on that, roman, but I think everybody needs to think about just what rolf has accomplished under stefano's orders. Marlena: Yeah. He turned--he turned hattie into an exact replica of me. John: Yeah. Kate: He genetically engineered cassie and rex. He brainwashed them and you, john. Marlena: More than once. John: Chips in the brain. Put a chip in hope's brain, thought she was princess gina. Roman: Okay, so this guy has pulled off some diabolically crazy stuff. As kate pointed out, he brought you back to life after everybody thought you were dead in that car accident. John: Only one way to get to the truth here. We got to go to statesville and talk to rolf. Kate: Well, you can't do that. He's not there. [Dramatic music] Victor: Adrienne, you have gone completely around the bend. Why would you want to marry me? Bonnie: My heart has seen the truth. Victor: I think you need professional help. Bonnie: Victor, don't tell me you haven't felt it too, that spark between us ever since I moved back into the mansion. Victor: The only thing I felt was my breakfast coming up again. Bonnie: I tried so hard to show you how I feel. Victor: By traipsing around the living room in your lingerie? Offering me your melons? What is wrong with you? Bonnie: Oh, victor. I'm in love. Victor: What about justin? Bonnie: Oh, I'll always have a special place in my heart for the father of my children, but what I feel for you is so strong. I've never felt anything like this before. Victor: A few months ago, you were gonna marry lucas. Then you didn't know what you wanted to do. Then you were gonna marry lucas again. Then you were gonna marry justin. Now you want the match of the century. Maggie was right about you. You're a fickle, heartless wench. Bonnie: Well, maggie does know a thing or two about being heartless, now, doesn't she? Victor: I'm only going to say this once, so listen very carefully. I love maggie, and I am not going to divorce her. Bonnie: All right, now it's time for you to listen very carefully to me. If you don't want me to tell the world that you plotted to kill your brother, you need to put a ring on it. Victor: Not a chance in hell. Nicole: I will never forgive myself for killing deimos. Brady: You had your reasons. He lied to you. Nicole: He was gonna take holly and keep her from me forever. Brady: And you hated him. Nicole: I did. But I-- I loved him once. Brady: And then you killed him. I suppose I'm the lucky one. You only cheated on me. Nicole: I understand if you hate me. But please, brady, don't-- don't blame eric. Brady: Don't blame eric. Are you serious? Nicole: He's completely gutted by this. Brady: Oh, is that what he whispered in your ear last night, huh? Is that what he said? "I'm so upset I'm gonna hurt my brother if I do this"? Nicole: Don't, don'T. Please don'T. Brady: Do you understand that I--do you understand that I wanted to--I wanted to have my life with you? I wanted to have a family with you, with tate and holly and you and I, the one I dreamed about. After everything that happened to me with kristen and theresa, I thought I had it right. I thought you were the one. My best friend was gonna be my love of my life. And the joke is on me! It's on me, because you're just another lying bitch. [Dramatic piano music] Kate: Rolf was released from prison a year ago. Marlena: There's got to be some--some record. And they must know where he went from there. Kate: No, I talked to the warden about his whereabouts. He has no idea. John: All right, well, let me contact my guys at the isa. Maybe we can track him down. Roman: Okay, listen. I've got a pub to open, so give me a minute, and I'll check on things in the back. [Soft music] Marlena: [Sighs] Do you think this is possible? Kate: You know, when I went to see clyde, I was convinced it was a lie. But now that we know that rolf is involved and what he's capable of... no, but we can't get our hopes up, not yet. Not yet. Marlena: I can't help it. I keep--I keep thinking what it might be like to see that face again, to hear that laugh, and to hold him, to hold onto him again. Roman: Well, if that turns out to be true, we are never gonna let him go. John: All right, that sounds good. Just keep me posted. Yeah. Roman: What's the word? John: The isa has agreed. The hunt's on for rolf. Roman: All right, this is getting real. Marlena: Yeah. I wonder where this will lead. Kate: Look, I should-- I should tell sonny what we've found out. John, thank you for involving the isa. John: No problem. Kate: We're all gonna stay in touch, right? Roman: Yes. Marlena: Stay close. John: I'm gonna try to track down paul and tell him what's going on. Marlena: Yeah. John. This will be very hard for him. John: I know. Oh, sweetheart. Listen, we're gonna get to the truth, whatever it is, okay? And if will is out there, we're gonna bring him home. Marlena: Mm-hmm. Roman: [Sighs] You know, I'm not sure whether I want to kill clyde and rolf if this turns out to be a hoax or... keep a hold of this spark of hope that will is coming back to us, that he is alive and we are gonna see that beautiful smile again. Marlena: Well... the manhunt is on for rolf. And so many people now, including lucas, know there's a chance that will may be alive. Roman: We need to call sami. Bonnie: Victor, you're really not thinking this through. If you don't marry me, you go to prison. Victor: You overheard a phone conversation. Who's gonna believe you without any proof? Bonnie: Well, all I need to do is take it to our shiny new police commissioner, hope brady, and let her prove it. I bet she'd just love a new lead in this high-profile, unsolved murder case. Victor: She wouldn't do that to me; she's family. Bonnie: Which means she'd be on the hot seat to do it by the book, which means no special treatment, no giving poor old sweet victor a break. Really think about it, victor. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in statesville prison? Or would you rather spend your life in wedded bliss with me? Victor: I told you I love maggie. Bonnie: And I love you. Please, victor. All I want to do is make you as happy as I know you could make me. Maggie: What's going on here? Nicole: Brady, I-- I wish there was an easier way. But I had to be honest. Brady: Straight from my brother's bed to a confession. You want a gold star for integrity? Nicole: And I want you to know that I will always... Brady: Be grateful? You've said that already. We covered that. I know you were grateful. Nicole: Remember your kindness and your courage and the way you always made me feel safe. Brady: What happens now? What happens now? What do we do? Nicole: I'm gonna take holly back to the farmhouse, because living here would be too difficult. We don't want to make it harder for you than it already is. Brady: That's so thoughtful of the ex-porn star and the ex-priest. Nicole: [Sniffling] Brady, you deserve someone who will love you with her whole heart and soul. Brady: Like the way you love my brother. Damn it. Nic, you're right. I deserve someone much better than you. Now get out of my sight. Now. [Intense music] Chloe: No, you are just trying to guilt-trip me into changing my mind. Julie: Well, that would only work if you had a heart. Or a conscience. Chloe: Is this how you talk to your partner? Julie: I'm a passionate woman. I'm passionate about this! Chloe: Yeah, so am I! And it doesn't even have to do with the name. It has to do with the fact that you think you can steamroll me. We bought this place together 50/50. It's just as much my dream as it is yours, and I won't be treated like I don't count. Julie: All right. We bought the place together. We'll make it better together. Chloe: Great, together as in 50/50. Julie: Yeah, that's the way math works. Chloe: On everything. Julie: Yes. Chloe: Thank you. Now, what's all this stuff? Julie: Maggie and I were looking at some swatches for the... office. Which ones do you like? Chloe: Hmm. Ah, that's nice. Bonnie: What a coinkydink. We were just talking about you. Maggie: I-- [Laughs] I was getting the feeling that it wasn't a pleasant conversation. You two look so serious. Bonnie: Oh, don't be silly. Victor's always serious. Maggie: Is everything okay? Bonnie: Oh, actually, I was just telling victor about how worried I am about sonny. You know, this whole will nonsense tragedy has been so hard on him. I'll tell you what. How about you take my seat? I'm sure you and victor have a lot to talk about. Maggie: What on earth is going on? Marlena: I wish we had more concrete information before we talked to sami. Roman: Yeah, but rolf's involvement gives a lot more credence to a story that I thought was just a crazy tall tale. Marlena: Yeah. Well, there will be a lot of wild gossip out there. I--I don't want sami hearing that from anybody else, not even from lucas the way that he is right now. I--I want her to hear this from us. Roman: You're right about that. There's no time like the present. [Soft music] [Phone line ringing] [Phone line clicks] Marlena: Hi, sweetie. It's mom. Uh, I've got something important to tell you. I think you need to sit down. Nicole: I hate that I've hurt you, brady. Brady: Go pack your things. Get holly. Eric's waiting. Nicole: I just wish I could find a way to-- [Phone line rings] [Phone line clicks] I did it. I--I told brady the truth. It was awful. But it's over, thank god, and now we're free to be together. [Intense music]
