Nicole walked in and saw EJ and Taylor kissing. Nicole picked up a letter opener and examined it. She ended up leaving. Taylor stopped kissing EJ and asked if he heard a noise. He opened the doors and saw that no one was there. He reminded Taylor that he is getting a divorce so they didn't have to hide anymore. Taylor admitted that this is all she wants, but it is stressing her out that she is betraying Nicole. EJ called Nicole so they could all talk face to face. Nicole ended the call and didn't answer when he called again. Taylor thought that could be a sing that they are moving too fast. The two walked off together. Nicole was on a bench crying and was comforted by Fay. Fay advised Nicole to use the power she had. She took out the DNA paper and made a call. At the Cheatin' Heart, Chloe read the divorce papers. Justin walked in and apologized. He asked if there was anything he could do. She wondered if he could get her life back. The two talked about Victor throwing her out and where she was staying. He reminded her that Daniel would give her alimony. She said she wanted nothing from him. She continued to drink. Justin told her that Philip might let her see Parker, but she didn't think so. She yelled at him to leave her alone. He did what she wanted. A stranger approached Chloe and hit on her. At Daniel's apartment, he received the divorce papers. He left a message for Melanie telling her the locks have been changed. When he was about to leave, he bumped into Jennifer. Their eyes met when they both picked up the box she dropped. He told her what happened to Melanie. He invited her in the apartment. They talked about Melanie and how he kissed Carly. He explained why Carly kissed him. They continued to talk about Carly. At the hospital, Carly obsessed over her meds. Melanie showed up. Carly was upset to hear about Melanie's attack. Melanie said she left her messages. Carly said she was tired and overslept. Melanie noticed something was wrong with her, but Carly sidetracked the conversation. Melanie was going to catch up with her later. Daniel and Jennifer talked about the things he lost. He thanked her for helping him. Jennifer reached for him. He muttered that she would only consider him a friend. While EJ and Taylor were outside, they talked about Nicole. The two ended up kissing again. At the pier, Nicole paid a man to check the DNA in the report against Rafe's DNA. She told him she needed it fast in writing. She gave him money and he promised she wouldn't be disappointed. Daniel and Jennifer kissed. Taylor agreed to trust EJ, but they couldn't be together until Nicole knew the truth. HE said it would be tonight.
Taylor: Look, I am--I am so confused now, I just don't even know what to do. EJ: Can you deny you love me? Taylor: No. I can't anymore. EJ: Then it's settled. [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: Hey, Chloe. I'm sorry. Is there...anything I can do? Chloe: Can you get me my marriage back? My child? My life? [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Melanie, uh, it's your dad. A couple things, um... the divorce papers came today, so I guess that means... Chloe has hers too. Um... a-and secondly, uh... everything's back in order. I got new locks on the door, so... I love you. Bye. Jennifer: Oh! Daniel: Whoa! You okay? Sorry. You all right-- Jennifer: Um... [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: How in the hell did I take the wrong pill? Melanie: Mom. They found Ciara and Theo. They're okay. Carly: That's wonderful! Thank God! Melanie: I know, I know. Last night was a horrible night for them. For everybody. Carly: What do you mean, everybody? Melanie: Uh...last night was pretty bad for me too. [SCENE_BREAK] Gabi: So...what are you gonna do now that you lost your job? Dario: Get another job, I guess. Gabi: In Salem? Dario: Yeah, in Salem. Gabi: So you do wanna stay in town. Dario: Why's that so weird? Gabi: Well, just trying to figure out what...or who is keeping you here. [Dario sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Attacked? Melanie: Yeah. Carly: What happened? Are you hurt? Did they get him? Melanie: I'm fine, I'm fine. I promise you. They got him, too. Carly: Were you mugged? Melanie: Yeah, um...it's a little more dramatic than that. Carly: What does that mean? Melanie: Uh, the guy that attacked me is--is the hit and run driver that killed Arianna Hernandez. Carly: What? Melanie: Yeah. This isn't like new information, though. I left you...five messages last night. What were you doing? [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: Hi. Daniel: Hello. Jennifer: I was--I was, uh, getting some stuff--thank you-- from Adrienne's apartment. I didn't even think you'd be here right now, actually. I thought you'd be at work. Daniel: Yeah, well, I decided to beg off my shift to change the locks. Jennifer: Oh. Wait--why? Daniel: Well, everything's okay. It's just the hit and run who killed Arianna Hernandez tracked down Melanie and attacked her. Jennifer: What? That's horrible! Daniel: I know, I know. But everything's okay. It's fine now. Jennifer: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] [Kettle whistling] Jennifer: Oh... Daniel: Good thing, uh, those things whistle like that, or I'd burn the place down. Yeah, I'll just be one minute. Jennifer: Okay. Daniel: You know, come in. Jennifer: Are you sure? Daniel: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jennifer: Okay. I'll get the door. Daniel: Great. Thank you. Jennifer: Thank you. I-I'm just gonna set this right here. Daniel: Yeah, don't worry about it. Just, you know, set it down anywhere. That's good. Uh...hang on here. All right. [SCENE_BREAK] [Liquid splashes] Daniel: Ooh, it's hot. Here we go. All right. Two hot teas coming up. Jennifer: Oh, that's so nice. Thank you. Daniel: Ah, you're welcome. Just let it steep there. Jennifer: Okay. It's so funny, I--I don't take you as a tea drinker. Daniel: Yeah. Don't tell anyone. Jennifer: Okay. I'll let it be our little secret. Uh...you said Melanie is fine, right? Daniel: Yeah. She's pretty lucky. Jennifer: Good. Where'd that happen...again? Daniel: Uh, right here in the apartment. Jennifer: Oh, yes, that's why you had the locks changes. Of course. Um...she must have fought the guys off, because like you said, she's okay. Daniel: Oh, yeah. I'm sure she tried her damndest to fight 'em off. And fortunately, some guy came around and knocked the son of a bitch out before he could strangle her. Jennifer: Good. A friend, I assume. Daniel: Well, he is now. Jennifer: Good. I'm glad she's all right. I'm sure it traumatized her, though. Daniel: You know what? Mel's, uh, she's a pretty tough cookie. Jennifer: Yeah, I noticed that about her. Daniel: Yeah. She had a difficult childhood. I don't know if difficult sort of encompasses it. More like, uh, I'd say a nightmare. I mean, the guy who claimed to be her dad-- Jennifer: No, I know. He was horrible to her. Carly told me what he put her through. Daniel: Yeah. Yeah. You know what? She's a survivor. Proud of her. Jennifer: Yeah. You should be. Listen, you have a thousand things to do... Daniel: [Laughs] Yeah. Jennifer: And I am so glad that Melanie's okay. Thank you so much for the-- Daniel: You're welcome. You know? Jennifer: Oh. Daniel: Oh, yeah, you know what, that--that, uh... Jennifer: I didn't mean to see that. Daniel: That came today. Jennifer: I'm so sorry. Daniel: No, no, no, you know. It's all right--it's for the best that the divorce is final. You know, I-I'm really, uh... I just--I moved on. Jennifer: Oh. Yes. I know you have. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I-I was out, uh, helping...to look for the kids, and I just...I don't know, I lost track of time. So I just went home and crashed. Melanie: Without checking your messages? Carly: I was really tired. I just wanted to go to bed. And I was so knocked out over everything that happened, and I over-slept, which I never do. Melanie: You look tired. Carly: Like I said, I-- Melanie: No, no, no. Not...not the "I haven't slept enough" kind. Carly: Wh-what else would make a person look tired? Melanie: I don't know. Is something more serious going on? [SCENE_BREAK] [Creak] Taylor: Did you hear that? [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: Chloe, I know this is hard. Chloe: Yeah. Divorce usually is. Justin: So if...if you wanna talk through anything about your plans, you know, for what you wanna do...next. I know Victor asked you to move out of the mansion. Chloe: [Laughs] Asked. I was pretty much thrown out the minute that Philip left town with our baby. Justin: Well, surely, that doesn't surprise you. Chloe: Oh, are you kidding? I was shocked. I mean, Victor's crazy about me. I'm surprised he didn't beg me to stay so I could light up his life. Justin: So now you don't... have anywhere to live? Chloe: Actually, I'm staying with Maggie. Sweetest woman on earth. Justin: I imagine you need money. Chloe: I'm fine. Justin: You know... Daniel would give you alimony or whatever. Chloe: Did you not hear me? I said I'm fine! I don't want any more of Daniel's money. I don't want anything from him. Justin: Chloe, how will you live? Chloe: Will you stop it, please? I mean it. Stop it. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Why would you say that...like that? Jennifer: Hmm? Daniel: I don't know, I ju-- I said that I'd moved on from Chloe, and you were all like, "oh, I know you have," so I... Jennifer: Okay, Daniel, just so you know, I don't really play games. Daniel: You play darts. Jennifer: I do. Listen, I--I'm happy for you and Carly. Daniel: Carly. Jennifer: Yes. And why wouldn't I be happy? You know, I'm the one who keeps trying to put you guys together and set you up. And I realize it's new and it's in the very beginning stages, so you don't want to spread the word. And I'm not a gossip, so I'm not gonna say a word, because really...it's nobody's business-- Daniel: I have no idea what you're talking about. Jennifer: You and--and Carly. Daniel: Yeah, me and Carly. What--what, what? Jennifer: You're gonna make me do all the work, right? Daniel: Well, only because I have no clue what you're talkin' about, that's all. Jennifer: I saw you with her. Daniel: Yeah, I'm sure you did--we work at the hospital together, so we were probably just hanging out-- Jennifer: No, no, I see you two at the hospital all the time together. Why would I mention that? Daniel: I don't know why you'd mention that. Then why--where did you see us? Jennifer: Well, I-I didn't mean to. I was walking by, and I saw the two of you together and you were... you were reconnecting and... I didn't wanna intrude, so I didn't say anything that I was standing there...why are you looking at me like that? Daniel: I don't know. You were just saying that me and Carly were reconnecting-- Jennifer: For the love of heaven, you were kissing Carly. Daniel: What? What are you-- what? What? Jennifer: On the pier last night. Daniel: On the pier? What are you-- okay--no. No, no. [Laughs] I know what you're talking about now--no, that--she was... we weren't really kissing. No, 'cause she was--[Laughs] She was worried about Theo and Ciara and so then she was very emotional, so she kind of-- Jennifer: She kissed you. Which means you were kissing. Daniel: Well, yeah, but it wasn't like--it wasn't serious ki--you know, it wasn't like-- you know...look, she kissed me. Okay? She kissed me. I didn't kiss her. I don't know why I feel like I'm in high school. Jennifer: I'm sorry. Because I just took you to high school. I'm sorry--this is really silly. I feel...I feel dumb. It just--it threw me. Daniel: It did--I'm sorry, what? It did? It threw you? Jennifer: Well, um... I was just surprised, that's all. Daniel: Really. Why, d-did it bother you that... Jennifer: Uh, no. W-why would it bother me? Daniel: I have no idea. Anyway, you know, I-I--the truth is that Carly was a total mess last night, and I just thought she was gonna...she was gonna lose it. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you called. Melanie: It's okay. Dad was there. Carly: No, I should have checked my messages. Melanie: Uh...I have a couple things I have to do really fast, but then I'm gonna come back and take you out to go get something to eat. Carly: Okay. Sounds great. Melanie: [Giggles] Go...get some sleep. Take care of yourself and just...you don't want things to get worse for you. Carly: Okay. [Exhales] You're right. You can't get worse. [SCENE_BREAK] Will: Hey! They found Ciara and Theo. Gabi: Oh, you're kidding? That's great! Will: Yeah. I don't, um, know all the details, but they're both with Bo and Hope and they're--I mean, they're fine. Gabi: I'm so happy for you. Will: Me too. So...what's up? Dario: Just lookin' for a job. Gabi: Oh, yeah. Dario's decided to stay in town for good. Will: That's great. I guess we'll be seeing more of you at home. Dario: Are you kidding me? I wouldn't stay one more day there. [Chuckles] [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: There's no one here. [Letter opener clatters] EJ: Hey. Come here. What? Do you really still think there's somebody outside? Taylor: I...don't you? EJ: No. I don't. Taylor, I'm divorcing Nicole so we don't have to hide like this anymore. And because it's the right thing to do. Please tell me you agree with me. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Tell me about the honeymoon. Adrienne: Well...how 'bout you tell me about you first? Carly: Me? Oh, work, work, work. Adrienne: That explains it, then. Carly: Explains what? Adrienne: Why you look so tired. Carly: Oh, wow! That's twice in one day--first from my daughter, and now from you. Adrienne: Well, we know you best. Carly: That's for sure. Adrienne: All right, what is it? Is everything okay? Carly: Actually, no. I'm in big trouble. [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: Wait a minute. Why did you say you thought Carly was losing it? Daniel: I don't know. She just seemed hyper-emotional, overwrought, almost manic. Jennifer: Oh, my goodness. I mean, we'd been concerned about her before last night. Daniel: I know. Now we're even more concerned. Jennifer: I know--I call her. She never takes my calls. She never returns my messages. Daniel: Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. Jennifer: She's just avoiding me right now completely. Daniel: Well, no, she's avoiding everyone, Jennifer. It has nothing to do with you. It doesn't, really. And the sad thing is, she could use your help right now. She just needs a friend... and yet she just...keeps pushing people away. Jennifer: Well, I'm gonna keep calling her. I'm gonna invite her to dinner this weekend. I'm gonna keep doing that. Daniel: Yeah, that's good. You know what, ca-can I say something? Jennifer: Yeah, of course. Daniel: Uh...you know, I know why you were trying to get Carly to agree to go out with me. Jennifer: Oh, yeah. I mean, it's obvious. I already explained it to you. The two of you have a daughter, and it just makes perfect sense, really-- Daniel: No, right, right, right, but I think that's just part of the reason. Jennifer: What do you mean part of it? Why else would I want the two of you to go out? Daniel: Well, you don't want to have to deal with me coming on to you all the time. Jennifer: Daniel, wait-- Daniel: And I get that. Really, I've been down that road, believe me, like a half a dozen times, and it hurts a little bit but, you know, it sort of challenges your self-worth...but it passes. It passes and you know what, you just move on. And I'm fine with that. Jennifer: Wait--what's fine? Daniel: I don't know, that you just don't--I know you're not interested in me that way... Jennifer: Wait. What are you talking about? Daniel: I don't know, that little momentary flicker thing was just sort of a rebound fever, and it's common, it happens a lot, it's catching. In fact, I think I probably got it, so-- Jennifer: I don't think we're talking about the same thing right now. Daniel: No, no, you know what, I just--I think that-- that--that...I-I don't wanna ruin our friendship, and that's really great. Jennifer: Right. Daniel: And I just wanna do the right thing, and I don't want some--some risk-- Jennifer: Some what? [Knock at door, phone rings] Daniel: Let me get the door. Jennifer: I gotta get that call. Sorry. Hello? [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Hey! Oh, it's Melanie. Melanie, come on in. Jen is on the phone, and she's gonna be leaving pretty soon anyway, so...and you--you need new keys, don't you? 'Cause-- Melanie: Did you hear about Parker? Daniel: Parker? Melanie: Philip took him and left town. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: EJ, when I think about being able to be with you without being afraid...without lying or hiding, it... it's all that I want. When I think about what it's gonna do to my sister, I-- I just feel like I'm going into cardiac arrest. EJ: You're right. It's the not knowing... that's excruciating. Taylor: Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, what--what are you doing? EJ: I'm calling your sister. Taylor: EJ, just d-- EJ: No, I'm calling her. I'm gonna tell her that I want to meet her, and we're gonna have this conversation face-to-face. I'm telling her everything. [SCENE_BREAK] [Cell phone rings] Nicole: Hello, EJ. I was wondering when I'd hear from you. [SCENE_BREAK] Will: You know, uh... things aren't always gonna be weird at the apartment. When mom and Rafe get back together, I think they'll kind of cool out. Dario: Bro, they're not getting back together. You should just accept it. Gabi: Dario. Dario: What? It's true. And you know, it's better for Sami. She's better off. You know, I have to go see about a job, so... Gabi: Give me one minute. Dario, listen to me. Look, I know that you think this cut to the chase thing is your specialty, but...will has got some real feelings about his mom and Rafe splitting, okay? Dario: Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Gabi: You still haven't told me why you're deciding to stay in town. Dario: Gabi, don't... Gabi: What's her name? Dario: Mm... [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: Hey, Melanie. Melanie: Hi. Jennifer: Your dad told me what happened. I'm so glad that you're okay. Melanie: I'm fine. Dad, I'm so sorry. Daniel: I-I-I don't know why Philip would do that... Melanie: I don't e--I don't-- I'm sure he had his reasons, though. I know this is hard for you because of the divorce today-- Daniel: You know what, do you, uh, don't you have a place to run, to go? In fact, you know what? Here's, um...here's your new keys. Melanie: Yeah. Daniel: You know? Melanie: Dad-- Daniel: No. I cannot... do this now. Please. Melanie: Okay. Talk later. Daniel: Sure. Melanie: Dad-- [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: You know, Parker... is Philip and Chloe's. And I have--have no say in this. You know, I, uh--it's crazy. It's a cra--I gotta get-- it's a crazy day. I got a lot of stuff to do. Jennifer: Yeah, I know, but I'm not gonna let you sit on your feelings. Daniel: I know that, I know, but Melanie's right. It's been a rough morning and-- and last night wasn't a cake walk. Is this my phone? I think this is my phone. So but, um...I'm fine, really. Jennifer: The hell you are. You're not fine. I'm not gonna let you do this to yourself, so get over it. [SCENE_BREAK] Justin: Here you go. Cheeseburger, cup of coffee. Just...tryin' to help. Chloe: I didn't ask for your help. Justin: You know, maybe Philip just...needs some time. Chloe: What? Justin: You know, maybe he just wants some, you know, time alone with his son. And then he'll, you know, let you see him. Chloe: I am Parker's mother. Justin: I know. I-I know that. Chloe: And Parker's father thinks that I'm unfit. I don't think he's gonna get past that. Justin: Okay, like I said. Hopefully, with time-- Chloe: Don't talk to me about hope, okay? Justin: Chloe-- Chloe: You're one of them. Justin: Chloe. Chloe! Chloe: Leave me alone, Justin! [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: 'Scuse me. I'm the guy you hit with your burger. Chloe: Oh. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Adam: I'll live. Chloe: I-I wasn't looking. I didn't even think about-- Adam: It's okay. You have a pretty strong right arm. Chloe: [Weak laugh] You're a good sport. Thank you. Adam: Do you mind if I ask, was that a break up burger toss? Chloe: Break up? O-oh, Justin, no. No, he's not my boyfriend. Adam: Oh. Good. Ex-husband? Chloe: I have a few of those, but...guy I chased out of here wasn't one of them. Adam: So you're single. Chloe: Yeah. Why? Adam: Well, if you promise not to toss your plate... can I buy you dinner sometime? [SCENE_BREAK] EJ: Ah, Nicole. Are you coming home soon, by any chance? Nicole: I'm not sure. EJ: Well, I'd appreciate it if you could. There's something I need to talk to you about, something important. Nicole: Sorry. You're breaking up. EJ: I can hear you just fine. Nicole: Losing you. I-I'll see you later. EJ: Nicole? I lost the call. Great. Now she's not answering. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: Ha-hang up, EJ. EJ: What? Taylor: Just hang up the phone. Please. Look...maybe this is a sign that it's all just moving too fast. EJ: This is a sign of a bad cell carrier, that's all. Taylor: Please, please, EJ, will you please just hear me? Rushing this right now--what good is it gonna do? EJ: Do you trust me? Taylor: You know, for reasons that completely escape me right now...[Laughs] Yes. EJ: Then come with me. Come on. [SCENE_BREAK] Nicole: My sister and my husband. [Crying] Could I be a bigger fool? Fay: It's not you, Nicky. Nicole: Mom? Fay: You are not the fool. I am ready for pizza and the game! [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Maybe I should qualify my earlier relationship answer. Adam: You're not single. Chloe: I'm barely single, so I'm not interested in dating. Adam: I understand. Holler if you need backup. Chloe: I appreciate that. Justin: So look, I just-- Chloe: Really, Justin? I thought we were done here. Justin: I just can't imagine...what you're going through. A-and what you're being asked to endure with your son would be unbearable to me. I mean that. So if there's anything I can do to help... Chloe: Help Daniel divorce me. [Justin sighs] Just go away, Justin, okay? Find another charity case. I'll be fine. I always am. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: It's been a really hard few months, and I think everything is just catching up to me. Adrienne: Of course, honey. How could it not? You know... when I first came back to Salem, I felt...tired and anxious at the same time all the time. It's --how do they say it? Depression is anxiety turned inward. Carly: But look at you now. Adrienne: Reconnecting with Justin put my head back on straight. I think I'd be lying if I said love isn't what saved me from myself. Carly: Love conquers all? Adrienne: It can. It can. [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: I'm so sorry. Daniel: It's all right, you know, it really is. It's, uh--thank you, by the way. You've, uh, you've shown me that...I can still love him, right, from afar? But a--a child without his mother... and Chloe without her child, it's-- it-- oh, trust me. You can't get that time back. But you know, uh, thank you, by the way...again. I know I'm repeating myself here, but...[Sniffles] Uh, you really helped me get through some of this. So thank you. Jennifer: You're welcome, Daniel. Daniel: Ah, you know-- Jennifer: I'm sorry. Daniel: Jennifer, no, no, no. Jennifer: I'm so sorry, uh... Daniel: You're just, you know, you're a great friend and I know you mean well, but I also know how you feel about me and, uh...no. I-I-I'm not--I'm not doing that. [SCENE_BREAK] Dario: Oh. Hey, how you doing today? Melanie: Hi, um...good. Better than yesterday. I, uh...I don't want things to be weird with us, especially now. Dario: Especially now why? Melanie: Um...well, we're on the same team now, right? We both caught Arianna's killer, so I don't think things have to be...tense between us 24/7 now? Dario: Yeah, I totally agree. Totally agree. But the way I see it is that you and me, we needed each other. We found that creep together. We should just start new, you know? Melanie: How so? Dario: Instead of there being tension between us like you said, we should just wipe it all away...you know, and--and... look, I don't know, maybe go out to dinner, celebrate. Melanie: Uh...oh. Dario: I'm free today. Melanie: Um...[Laughs] I, uh... Dario: Okay, how 'bout tomorrow? Melanie: I can't...do that. Dario: All right, when are you free? Melanie: Uh... I'm not really in a place where I can date other people, and even if I were, I'd probably-- Dario: You'd date that Brady guy you kissed. Melanie: No comment. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: This is pretty much the middle of nowhere. EJ: Well, all of this is essentially private DiMera property. Taylor: Oh. So do you take all of your girls here? EJ: Usually. [Both laugh] No, just you. Taylor: So... what are we drinking to? EJ: To the future. Taylor: What does that future look like once Nicole finds out about us? EJ: I think that your sister deserves true love. We both do. Taylor: Yeah, but believing that, EJ, it might make it easier on you, but not me. Not Nicole. I mean, she's committed to you. She's committed to helping you raise your children. EJ: And I'm gonna make sure that she's comfortable for the rest of her life. I mean, we can wish that she would find the same kind of love that we have. I think in time she will... thank us for this. [SCENE_BREAK] Fay: You gotta take care of yourself now. Do you understand what I mean? Nicole: How do I do that? Fay: You have more power than you know. Now, use it. [SCENE_BREAK] Dario: I'm really happy for you and your new boyfriend. And you don't want to give him any reason to doubt you... especially when you guys are just starting off. Melanie: Is everything a challenge for you? Dario: Depends. Melanie: Good talk. Dario: I like a challenge. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Hey. Adrienne: Hey. Carly: I'm so happy for you and Justin. Adrienne: Oh...all right, then. Let's get together soon and celebrate, yes? Carly: Yes, yes. Thanks. [SCENE_BREAK] Jennifer: What do you mean, you know how I feel about you? Daniel: Well, you know, I just mean that I get it. I mean, you, uh, you just wanna be friends with me, so I get it. I do. I'm just mortified that you walk around the hospital worried that I'm walking around the hospital looking for you and hoping to--to come on to you, and I'm really not. That's just--and I know you saw Carly kissing me, and I was not kissing her, just for the record, by the way-- Jennifer: Listen, Daniel-- Daniel: And I just wanna tell you I know that was awkward and everything. Jennifer: Can I just say something? Daniel: Sure. I know--I-I'm a train wreck--say it. Jennifer: No, you're not a train wreck. Daniel: Okay, so I'm a bit of a mess. Jennifer: No, you're a hot mess. My daughter says that about you all the time. Sorry. [Both laugh] Jennifer: I, um...I think that you're sweet. I think you're very sweet. Daniel: What? Jennifer: And...I appreciate you taking the awkward hit for both of us. Uh, the truth is...is that I like you. That way. A lot. [SCENE_BREAK] Taylor: You know, you make... something really complicated... seem really easy to fix. EJ: Look... Taylor, I've never felt this way before...about anybody. I really --I didn't know that I could. And despite the fact that this is incredibly painful, I've never felt more at peace. I know that this is something that I want for the rest of my life. [NEXT_ON] Nicole: This is what I need, and it has to be completely confidential. Man: I understand. Nicole: I need you to match these DNA results against a Rafael Hernandez. He used to work for the FBI and the Salem PD. I'm sure someone like you can get access to files like that. Man: Sounds pretty easy, yeah. Nicole: All right. And once you get the results, and if the samples do match Rafe's DNA, I need to know. I need you to prove it, and I need you to get it to me in writing. [Paper rustles] Nicole: This is, uh, what we discussed. Fast, okay? Man: You won't be disappointed. Fay: Nicky. You know what you just did, right? Nicole: I do, Mom. I took care of myself. Fay: Be happy. Nicole: Happy? I don't think that's in the cards, Mom. [SCENE_BREAK] Dario: Hi. Adrienne: Oh. Dario: I'm here about the bartending job. Adrienne: Oh, um...any experience? Dario: Uh, no, no. But someone just told me I like a challenge, and she's right. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Hey. Melanie: Hey. Carly: So I'm covered long enough for us to have a good visit. Melanie: Cool. Where do you wanna go? Carly: I was thinking maybe we could pop in on your dad. Melanie: Okay. Carly: I just wanted to let him know why I didn't answer his calls about what happened to you last night. You mean everything to us. You know? [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Did--did I hear you right?

I will trust you to make this right. EJ: Thank you. Taylor: Okay, but... we can't be together until Nicole knows. EJ: Then we'll be together tonight. Taylor: EJ. EJ: I'm telling her tonight.
